I've just booked the new Kia Cerato Forte 1.6 SX from Cycle Carriage Fulco Motors at Ubi. Just wanna know anyone like me is also gonna get the car? Would also like to know is there any places that provides solar film installation at a reasonable price?
Solar films? I think only V-Kool and Huper Optiks is trustable.
But you know the price range cause if I do at C&C they charging me for entire car around 900 to 1000 plus.
Did C&C tell you what brand of optic films they are giving you? If it's V-Kool or Huper Optik, it's about the right price. My uncle bought the Merc C180K from C&C Alexandra and they gave him Huper Optik film. Maybe C&C had some kind of arrangements with Huper Optik.
oh ok.. Anyways dunno who else book this car? haha.. The anticipation to collect the car is killing me after successfully bidding for my COE .. Haha
congrats on your purchase!!!
Hahaa Thanks who else getting this car?

Since COE is secured, when will you get the car?
styling is really good, like continental. totally unlike current cerato, so budget.
Haha.. Test drive le.. Haha.. Love the overall feel.. Outside look sporty.. Interior there is this very luxurious feeling.. Haha.. Heard from the Salesperson vehicle only ready for collection in Mid March.. Damn Sianzzzzzzz... Haha
dealer is really important. CnC really revived kia in singapore. unlike previous dealer, go bankrupt people cannot get their cars and i thought kia was going to die in singapore... the times when kia mentor was still here.
now the brand and dealership are totally different. kia is a serious player now. budget basement role is now taken by proton and the china makers.

Hyundai has also moved upmarket as well. Yes, many people may think of Hyundais as "Taxis", but honestly ask yourself, or anyone else, out of 10 people, how many will be impressed with the Sonatas which are being used as taxis? By pushing the Sonatas as taxis, every taxi ride becomes a form of 'advertisement' for Hyundai that their cars have come a long way and are now ready to beat the japanese at their own game.
I've known a lot of people who were damn sian 1/2 and had a low impression of the Sonatas being used as taxis, but when they actually sat in them, many came out damn impressed and look at Hyundai in a different light.
kia also used as taxis dunno wat the model is called
i think used as silvercabs
gong xi to TS on his new purchase! the new kia cerato forte is really a nice looking car

Kia Magentis? Similar platform to the Sonata.. interior super alike just that the white/blue speedometer looks so much more classy than the Sonata's greenish/yellow..
Originally posted by Nigel_Chew:I think its called kia azera.. everyday is like a waiting game so sian haha
Nope, the Azera is also from Hyundai.. it's one class higher in terms of space, comfort and power than the Sonata. I'm not sure about the specs for the diesel Azera, but if you compare private cars, the Azera is a 3.3l V6 luxury sedan as compared to the usual 2.0/2.4 Sonata..

Yea..it's the Kia Magentis...but I see fewer Kia Magentis as passenger cars compared to Sonata...

Yea..its not bad looking. But I have to see/hear how the car goes after a couple of years first to make a proper deduction of its reliability and road-handedness...
