R HARINDRANATH
SE (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 18.0 km/litre (5.6 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 700 km/month
    Good Power for 1.2 3 Cylinder engine.
    Great space; better than Mazda 2 Skyactive, Toyota Vios and VW Polo.
    P1 Paddock (P1 Center), Address Polo.
    Fuel economy great but 21km/l barely achievable in real world. More 18km/l.
    Good enough steering feel for spirited driving. Good grip and understeer resistance good.
    Ride is quite a good balance b[...]
    Initially engine a bit louder and "growlier" than usual but actually as mileage piles on, the noise subsides. Now at about 4K kilometers, the sound is more muted.
    For the price NVH acceptable. Extra soundproofing might need to be considered.
    Needs a stiffer rear suspension as at high speed (>120km/h) the rear will wiggle when going over an off[...]

Fuel Economy: 12.5 km/litre (8.0 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 1,000 km/month
    - Good looking design with beautiful projector head lamps, DRL and LED combination tail light
    - top notch safety feature (6 airbags, DRL, ISOFIX, Stability Control, Traction Control etc etc)
    - nice handling, stable cornering (maybe due to the 215/45/R17 tyre)

    - bunch of other feature like auto[...]
    - underpower, acceleration is weak, over-taking is hard, need to shift down gear and floor a little to push the car going
    - fuel consumption for city drive is quite high (8-10L/100km) but highway is good (5-7L/100km)
    - rattling noice from door trim, dashboard and steering cover after half a year driving, after more than 1 year, knocking noise [...]

Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 9.0 km/litre (11.1 L/100 km), Diesel, Mileage: 1,000 km/month
    - Most powerful engine in its class (amongst other 2.5 and 2.2 rivals).
    - Minimal engine noise and vibration at highway speeds.
    - The in-dash SatNav & Reverse Camera comes as standard.
    - Roomy cabin (especially in the rear).
    - Lovely facelifted front grille and unique two-tone alloy wheels.
    - Less theft / hijack cases as compared to the Hil[...]
    - While it accelerates well if pushed above 3,000rpm, black smoke pours out of the back like an octopus.
    - Clutch is quite light, but the travel distance is a little too far.
    - Handbrake does not hold the car on a slope unless pulled up to the max (even without any cargo).
    - Shift-on-the-fly does not switch back to 2WD when stationary (more e[...]

Fuel Economy: 12.0 km/litre (8.3 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 1,000 km/month
    Hi guys, its been awhile since i'm planning to do this review for this car model Kia Picanto.
    I maybe going for more into the downside of this particular car to bring "awareness" or "highlight" towards customer or anyone before purchasing this car. In the first place i would like to declare i do not intended to "bad mouth" about this car but to[...]
    -Okay, the main point is here let me start from the important aspect that we face daily basis that is the Fuel Consumption. So Kia claimed that fuel consumption for Auto can get up to 20.7km/l based on 90km/h average so you would be thinking atleast this car could get you a 15km/l or 18km/l right ? If you are thinking this way then you are total[...]

SE 1.0 MT (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 15.0 km/litre (6.7 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 2,000 km/month
    - Having a manual really releases some power in it. Doesn't mean the auto is underpowered though. Nothing to complain on the engine even if it's a 1.0
    - Very smooth ride, despite a sluggish start on the 1st gear
    - Fuel efficiency is great! I guess it's a good and bad thing that the car is light
    - Body roll while cornering is pretty impressive[...]
    - I feel the ride height is a bit high; if it were lowered, it would definitely be more stable while driving on the highway. I personally won't change it so I won't void any warranties though
    - I believe a lot of people have voiced out about the lack of auto-door lock, but can't expect much from the price of the car
    - Lots and lots of axias on[...]

1.3 VVT Executive CVT (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
RON95, Mileage: 1,000 km/month
    Car: Iriz 1.3 CVT Executive
    1. Safety - The electronic features are mentioned in other reviews. From user experience point of view, I really like this car. In Penang, there are some steep windy donwhill roads from Relau to Paya Terubong and Balik Pulau. This car is really stable and the gear breaking that is built wonderfully into the CVT syste[...]
    1. You have read it all. But, for a normal driver like me who don't press hard on the pedal, the noise is quite normal in comparison to other cars.

    1. Sporty looking body with well designed dashboard
    2. Spacious interior

    Major:
    1. Build quality - obvious gap between body panel

    - Very cozy front seats but rear seats less comfortable if compare with previous generation of Sylphy.

1.5 Sedan (2015)
Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 18.0 km/litre (5.6 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 500 km/month
    - Feels outright powerful for a 1.5 car
    - Premium, slightly above segment interior feel
    - Beautiful towards sporty outlook
    - managed to achieve 5.5L/100km average fuel consumption
    - Sportiest among similar segment Japanese cars
    - Engine roaring sounds really aggressive.
    - pretty poor sound proofing despite the premium interior (actually most new cars have poor sound proofing these days)
    - 6 speed transmission not smooth compared to the rest of similar segment Japanese cars but then again maybe it shouldn't be for a sporty car.
    - rear seat angle a little too straight up. Will be tiring if anyone sits there for[...]

Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 12.0 km/litre (8.3 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 1,000 km/month
    First off, for a successor of the YF Sonata, I must say I was highly impressed with the LF. It looks nice and grown up, very mature and clean, with just the right amount of flair. Pictures don't do the car justice especially the rear with the light tubes. I personally feel this car really stands out in light colours like whites and silvers, it r[...]
    Brakes are absolutely disappointing. Considering the past of Hyundai and Kia, one would have thought they would improve the brakes. I found it very unresponsive, and under panic braking, I noticed how the car would lock up before the ABS could kick in, it is for a split second but still... The car felt nervous too under heavy braking.
