I really not sure but d $ is about the same. Remote alarm coz around $100, 4 doors piston $15 each, plus d workmanship is around there la. Reverse sensor is around $100-$150. I change it wif my voucher coz think is more convinience to have all in rather than i do it outside which spend extra $ n time. Razz

Anybody interested with the Euro version 6-4 split rear seat? Found it more practical than s'pore version where u fold down the seat, nobody can sit behind liao. I now checking d $ with KIA M'sia (coz their version is the 6-4 split rear seat Very Happy

). Will update u guys once i got the quotation. Wink

I know that most of us got the picanto without the window film tinting. How many of us here are seriously getting but dun know what to get? There are so many brands out there, like Rike cool, Sun cool, Cool n Lite, Huper Optik, Nanolux, etc, which one is the best in terms of value for money then? Anyone can enlighten on this? Thanks!!

Pupakia,

These sun films are all the same (almost).

But every one of them claims to be different. It's all about marketing, similar to conning a car buyer to pay Mercedes price for a Hyundai. They make your "WANT" become a "NEED".

Your Picanto already comes with a tint (invisible to the naked eye).

The cheapest sun film costs at least S$400+ and above, even at group purchase discount.

You decide if you want to spend that kind of money. I wouldn't.

I am surprised that most of you chose auto (rather than manual).

Why?

Becoz reaction slow mah...auto car, if anything happens, juz brake hard.....

Tint window film very impt....ur car won't feel hot under the hot sun....it reflects off harmful infra-red thingie.....my bro installed a cheaper range and it's super hot......thus, conclusion is, choose the medium range. Our is a 1.1L car, the range would be from $500 on wards for full installation for medium-range pkg.......i won't choose vkool coz too exp liao......shall consider huper optik, nanolux or coolnlite

PICANTO COLLECTION CHECK LIST

To all you lucky Picanto Owners-to-be :

Here's a checklist that all of you might want to take note of when collecting your new Picanto. The Sales person should also have a general checklist to run through with you.

Interior:

1. Master lock, individual lock, child lock

2. Window lock, power windows (at driver side and at individual side)

3. Electric mirrors (if any)

4. Headlight switch, signal switch, high beam, fog lamp (if applicable), hazard signal switch

5. Wiper switch (make sure each speed is correct), wiper spray

6. Make sure dashboard lights come on when the headlights are switched on.

7. Make sure information lights on the dashboard are lit at relavant times (eg. high beam symbol, parking brake symbol)

8. Horn, steering wheel adjusting lever

9. Boot and fuel tank cover lever

10. Seat adjuster

11. Mirrors

12. Aircon vents (make sure they can move freely)

13. Aircon (go through each fan speed, make sure the power is strong enough), defogger

14. Radio/CD player

15. Gear shift able to move freely.

16. If yours is an auto, make sure you have to step on the brake to shift out of Park, and the car can only start in N or P position.

17. Glovebox

18. Handbrake

19. Carpet (check if it is dirty or not)

20. Seats (check for stains or holes)

21. Speakers

22. Make sure the mileage on the odometer is reasonable (should be less than 20km at the very most if you're collecting from the distributing centre.)

23. Owner's manual

24. Seat belts (test them by pulling them hard in a fast movement. The seat belts should lock).

Exterior:

1. Headlights (high/low beam), front clearence lights, signal lights, brake lights, tail lights.

2. Windows and windscreen (check for stains or scratches)

3. Door handles (whether they are able to open the doors)

4. Alarm lock

5. Lock using key

6. Opening boot with key

7. Look around the body for any scratches or dents.

8. Check the tyres for any holes or punctures

9. Check the rims for scratches

Under the bonnet:

1. Check the levels of fluids (eg. engine oil, brake fluid, battery water). If the levels are low, it could mean that there's a leak somewhere.

2. Make sure that the chassis and engine number are indicated and that the numbers tally with those on your log card.

3. Check that the fuses for the horn, headlamps etc are there.

Enjoy your new car. Laughing
