Re: Yippee...collected my Koup liao!
Thx, fellas. 8)
Been busy running it in, no pix yet. Driving carefully and keeping the revs below 4k b4 it hits the first 1000km service.
First impressions:
Ergonomics. Ok but not class leading. Seating position could be a tad lower and telescopic steering reach could be longer. So gotta seat a bit closer than norm to comfortably hold the steering. Right armrest too low, cannot rest arm and hold steering. Clutch position a little high.
Engine. Smooth and sprightly enuf for a 1.6L. Needs to be revved between 3-4k to keep within the usable powerband. But once engine has been run-in and loosened up, it has the potential to be a quite a sweet powerplant. Bassy exhaust note adds to the fun.
Gearing. Gear ratios are quite low. This helps acceleration in 1st and 2nd gear but at 100kmh in 5th gear, the revs hover ard 3k.
Handling. One word:sweet. Suspension setup is firm which is what i like. Ride can get a little jiggly on uneven roads but car always feel planted in corners. Can't wait to get it out onto the M'sia B-roads where outright power is secondary for some twisty fun. For those thinking of lowering or going for coilovers, suggest u put that thot on hold until u get the car. It's quite good as is. The Kumho Solus KH17s seem to be doing it's job but reckon the steering feel could be better. Maybe upgrading to the F1 Asymmetrics later might help.
Noise. The bassy exhaust drone can be heard quite prominently. Level of noise insulation is within expectations for this price point.
Mood speakers. Not as distracting as I envisaged it would be. Maybe no time to notice since I was paying extra attention in getting used to driving a manual again (aka dun stall) and being extra careful on wet roads. haha.
Overall packaging and feel-good factor. Cannot be faulted. Hard to imagine how did Kia pack so many features into such a good-looking car at this price point. The bonus features that came wif the car (which I din tink or expected it to hv) are the bluetooth carkit & auto-fold mirrors.
And ya, no windscreen crack. LOL.

it will still attract attention but only for a short period of time. when koups are becoming common the road, this exclusiveness will be eroded. just like Nissan GTR and Porsche.

Re: Yippee...collected my Koup liao!
my SA say cannot refund cos follow car? very puzzled now

Re: Yippee...collected my Koup liao!
road tax follows car, unlike insurance.
based on current trend of shipment, not much choice but to renew road tax unless you are willing to give up driving till receive your new ride

Ya, the steel plate doesn't curve.
Feels very strange. I've spent 2-3 times more for my other cars in the past n never got this sort of 'attention'. When Kia says 'Value' - damn, do they mean it. Guess the novelty factor will wear off in a few mths when more koups hit the roads.

Yep, rikecool included. Did ask for darkest tint for the rear but looks almost like the front lei. Anyway, dun find rikecool's film clarity very good. Plates are rectangular front n back.
