Metal Bronzee

Whats Car Life screen ????

I think i ever read somewhere that 3A cant last long (maybe 6mths to 1year). But who knows maybe its the competitors trying to sabotage 3A reputation ?

Yes i agree that the boot is in fact 'naked' and 'bare' now. Most likely getting the 3A you memntioned earlier.

Car Life is the brand.

Honestly la...

It's like getting an LV bag... some pple say, the material (Which is not leather) can lasts for up to 10 years...

But I'm the sort who prefers to buy 10 braun buffels and have a different style every year and may still be cheaper...

Get what I mean?

ohh....car life curtain ehh ? Hehehe.

yes i agree with you on the LV bag theory but the car mat is not so much different (think is almost 3 times). Its the quality that i am unsure about (wonder if 3M really can last or if 3A really cant last) But like what you said lah, can change colour or pattern every year then. Hehehe.

Seeing double ???

still waitin for mine... sigh saw my se last weekend she said v likely only end sept... i confirmed coe mid june (i think.. coe was 14K) so LL must wait...

anyways enjoy ur ride!

Hi mott3h, wow have to wait till end Sep ? Thats very long.
Maybe Kia also wana 'siam' 7th month and not bringing any shipment during that month ? If not, maybe they intend to add-on more things before shipping bah ?

ha i wish they would! but already got so many goodies stock la... besides i'd love to add my own goodies personally.. lookin at GPS first ( even b4 get car! see la so eager alreadi...) anyways hope to see lots more pics and hopefully lots more poison!!!

Nothing more to see le. No poison for the time being also.
Maybe just some grooming on the exterior paint and some mats.

GPS ? Anyone looking at Garmin ? I happen to know of a guy who is selling Garmin GPS. Anyone interested in any model can let me know so that i can ask him for pricing.

looking at the top of this pic (more to the right), you can see that thin sound insulation blanket fitted on our firewall....
hope KIA will improve on that insulation blanket coz that's where all most of the engine noise got into our cabin.....
also noticed lots of opening on the blanket (about 1 " from the top RH corner)....thinking of blanking them up not sure if that will help reduce the engine noise.......

muff, you mean the aluminium foil look like area ?

no...it is dark grey colour thingy covering the whole firewall...

the opening I'm referring to look like the number 8 in shape and the background is metal bronze colour.....from the opening you can also see that the blanket thickness is actually very thin layer only.....

This area ? (In white circle)

pessimizt wrote:Seeing double ???

I think one is EX and one SX

wasay jl1500k, like that also can see ah ? Indeed one is EX (mine) and one SX. You are good man !

Is it because of the beige leather seats ? Should not be right.
Or is it the tyre rim size ?

it is because of the rims. lol.

pessimizt wrote:This area ? (In white circle)

yes.....the whole piece of grey blanket is the firewall sound insulator....so thin and opening so big how to provide good sound insulation? Hope KIA will improve this area for the future batch of Forte as there are some negative comments about its engine noise in many reviews......

oh i see.......not really into such technical stuffs though....haha.

Umm.....like to check is there no indicator LED for engine coolant ?

Hi pessimizt, is your EX interior considered the new batch ones??

Hello mehmehhh, i would believe its consider as the newer ones.
How can i help you ?

Thanks, cos I book exactly MB EX..
Kindda curious cos SE said the interior will be diff from the 1 I test drive

i have also booked a MB and ETA on Oct, hope they put back those stuff during the time when it was first launched, especially the rear disc brakes. Hehe, its my wishful thinking.

Interior is somewhat different from what i first test drove initially too. Got a touch of light dual tone and not totally black colour.

I doubt they will put back rear disc brake.

The aircon dials are now chromed .. instead of the all black
the and interior of the doors are padded..if i am correct..

Yes arkaraka, something like that.

Sianz.....was told by SE that my auto-fold cannot be disabled one.

He himself told me some can some cannot. What sort of sub-standard is this.

And i am checking with them who is the one who did the reverse sensor and if i can send the car to them directly to let them check on the continuous beeping sound that has been happening more and more frequent.

What kind of after-sales service is this man?
Complain to CnC bro...

sigh.....how to complain....these are freebies leh. never state in black and white whether can enable or disable the auto-fold function.
Anyway all these accessories comes with 1 year warranty only. So i am thinking of changing them once the warranty expires.
Unless i really cant tahan and go change earlier.

Hey bro,

I was told that your side mirrors can be engaged or disengaged even when the engine is off right?

So if that is the case, in the event when you are parking @ a para lot, you can still use the button to engage and disengage the side mirrors... so not too bad lor.

This is true joepele. Guess have to live with it till it spoils or after 1 year...........

By the way have you gotten your ride joepele ?

pessimizt wrote:This is true joepele. Guess have to live with it till it spoils or after 1 year...........

Dun say until like that le bro,

not the end of the world la.

Still can use... juz be more careful when para parking lor... but then again... how often do you do that?



I only park like that in Serangoon Gdns


Anyway, Enjoy the rest of the car bro!

One of these days, we must make a trip to Autobacs to shop for accessories man.

Should be fun


Poison ourselves.

My SE told me that he's going to reg today.

Should be getting it this week.

Trying to find a roof type bicycle rack.

True that i seldom do para parking too.
But somehow i still feels a little weird if i cant see the side mirror before stepping out of the car. Like some others said, step out first and then cut engine loh. Hahaha.

By the way congratz on getting your ride soon !

Dun let the "Wanna have it cos... juz wanna have it" bug.



Very poisonous.

sianz.....just saw a chipped paint work on the front bumper while wiping it dry from the rain. Very very small but its white in colour so its pretty obvious on the MB......

Dun sian dun sian...

Dun because of 1 small tear in the $100 bill then throw it away...

it's still worth $100

bro pessimizt,
I hope that maybe it is not scratch but something white rubbed on it. Had the same thing happen to my MB. Can be buffed off one. I got do CSII so I brought it back and ask for their help. Easily got it off w/o sweat, no charge too.

Even if really slight scratch as u say, its possible to apply bit of touch up paint and will till look brand new. no worries no worries.

I think its a peel off because i used my nails to try to feel if the white part is protruding or not.............and its NOT. Think might be chipped off by a stone or something.......sigh.

Probably going to Pandan or LK this few days to get the touchup paint. Called Ubi one but they said they dont sell it there. What the..........

Bro joepele and mine kena 'summon'

u saw them summon, u dun faster go drive off ??????????????
