Okay this time I've done a search, couldn't find anything on this so decided to post... Has any bro/sis here installed an ATF cooler for their Auto Picantos? If yes, care to share some info like: 1) Performance feedback 2) Brand/cost/shop you got it installed 3) Which area in the car will the cooler be installed? Any other comments are welcome! Thanks in advance!

Ah, so what's the benefit of "modding" the exhaust?

read a thread of the user using 16" rims and able to hit 450 at ard 13km/1L. really wonder why 15" can't be the same or better? It is possible for him cos his 16" tyres is not so wide (165)... Very rare tyres! It's not the size of the rims that affects FC most... more crucial is the weight of the rim and how wide the tyre is. But the problem with a bigger rim is you need to compensate by getting a tyre with smaller/lower sidewall to fit nicely into the wheelwell. Commonly, tyres with smaller/lower sidewall tend to be wider. For example, I believe if you switch to 15" rims, and managed to get 175/50/15 tyres, your FC could be even better than if you were on 14" rims with 185/55/14 tyres. Main problem is 175/50/15 tyre size is quite hard to find.

If you have done tyre rotation regularly (every 8,000 ~ 10,000kms) then all four tyres will have worn quite evenly. So it's better to change the whole set.

If I'm not mistaken, the C&C warranty doesn't cover everything in the car for 3 years.... And under some instances, the warranty also dun cover, for eg. if the breakdown is due to corrosion for e.g transmission, it's not covered.... You'll have to refer to the warranty agreement, can find it here: singapore.kia-global.com/Under Car Prices & Services -> Warranty + FAQ on Warranty

Erm, I think 17km/ltr is a fantastic figure for an auto Picanto already! I'm hovering around 11.8km/ltr now....

Hmmm, if you want can PM me, I got mine slightly cheaper after trade in. Anyway so far haven't regret getting the 15 inches, looks awesome! And if you don't want too wide tyres, I found out that Picanto Sports edition overseas comes with standard 15 inch 175/50/15 tyres!

Just wondering what's the use of the O/D button & mode? If I'm not wrong, by default it is in the 'On' position....

Planning to switch to 15" rims from my current stock 14" on Wednesday.... problem is quite worried after reading through this thread... The person recommened 195/45/15 tyres... was thinking if I switched to something not so wide (e.g. 175/50 or 185/45) will if it be not so bad on FC??
