SERIOUS wah best of both world. all along dont quite like the electric steering. keyless entry and hyd steering wah. i will call my SE and tell him to delay the car till nov than......

hihi, kevin, i understand that for SX it is currently a motor driven power steering(MDPS) wheel. what about the EX? also MDPS?

armstrong: yours is a EX issit? cos u mentioned u dun like elect steering which is the EX model...

and keyless entry also applies to EX model as well?

thanks for clarifying my doubts!

The SEs will tell you that Elec Steering saves fuel, but that is yet to be proven.

But personally... the SX's Elect steering becomes stiffer only around when you reach 30km/h or more...

Before that... the steering is kinda light.

Some of the bros here also had experiences where the elect steering after they cranked their car without pausing to let the electronics start up. *Became like no power steering.

Some bros here also have a problem of the Elect steering veering to the left. How to solve? I'm not sure too... But imagine this... if the veering is significant, and driving long distance... the arms are gonna ache man.

IMHO, elect steering lacks response. has some minor bugs to be resolved. Veering is one problem that is yet to be resolved.

anyone had gotten the new batch of SX Forte that was shipped on 11sept? any new add on or differences?

Hi all,

went ubi kia today, was told my SE that the nov batch SX will have almost similar interior as to Koup except for the sunroof. New feature include keyless entry, keyless engine, new leather wrap for doors and new glossy center control panel. All this at the cost of 1k extra as to the current SX price.

i think quite confirmed, my SE offer my friend this option. But he mentioned only on selected colours. However if you want the usual features, all colours will still be available. Actually i think 1k quite worth it, cos i really like the new features.

Pls advise, the expiry date for my COE will be 14/01/2010. Yesterday SE told me that he has got my chasis & engine number, have to register by next week. Is there a way to extend to later batch so that I can get the newest batch with the push start ? (mine is bright silver 2.0SX). I dont mind paying $1K since I have already paid so much for the car
