Bought new, Owned for 7 Years
Fuel Economy: 11.0 km/litre (9.1 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 500 km/month
- Got 6 airbags, Hill start assist, Auto light, Auto wiper (not all car have this feature), sunroof as standard, cornering light, keyless entry, 17inch sport rim with full size sport rim (spare tyre) come with conti sport contact 5 tyres (made in france) this tyres is really good as per my opinion.
- Really beautiful design of tail lamps at night with led brake lights. No more changing bulbs.
- No cruise control, but can just plug & play by using original parts from KIA and ready to use (no code or ecu setting required).
- Original speakers is good enough (6 speakers).
- Personally this car is actually good at cornering, you can go genting with smiley face.
- Handsome car IMO. Look alike golf MK5 design
- Even is just 1.4, is almost the same output as 1.5 engine in vios. 110hp. Getting up from 110 to 140 is easy.
- Only 4speed transmission. Cruising at 120km/h, the rpm already at 3k.
- If climbing, the car is a little bit struggle due to 4 speed gear & also the 17inch wheels.
- No LED headlights on the front, but can fit the aftermarket LED and looks good due to projector lights.
- No aftermarket mods in Malaysia for KIA, not like VW or Honda. Nevertheless, a simple bodykit is available.
- Not much service center in Malaysia.
To Improve
- Service Center experience to be improved in terms of facilities/ warranty claims/ various locations. But now is under Bermaz, hope to see a changes soon.
- Malaysian mind set has to change. KIA is not like they used to, they are really improved in terms of reliability. I never had Major break down with the car. Normal wear and tear only. For me this is important, when mind set change, people start buying KIA, they will be supply and demand just like our Malaysian favourite T&H.
Yes, I would recommend this car
