No doubt why dealership known as stealership.

No idea, either KIA know about this issue or not.

@fazalwahab11375 KLM has a company operated dealership in Lahore too. It would be a pity if it was one of them!

Thank you for sharing. They know they can get away using their fraudulent practices without any repercussions. So they do it without any remorse. Shameful.

When I visited the showroom, I was impressed by the built quality (I was mainly focused towards sportage) but the after sales services are most important for a customer

zuhaibafzal 2020-05-09 01:08:51 +0500 #1521

Exactly, aftersales services generate loyal customers and increase brand value.

The KLM dealer was the second dealer the customer went once first one denied the warranty. KLM also declined the claim initially and the customer went back without any fix. The noise in dashboard increased and he went back to KLM and then used his personal source and got it fixed BUT that too happened after weeks and using a TAGRI SIFARISH.

Oh mate my house survived quakes of 2005 and 2015 and still does not have cracks like the ones in this car. What happened to thr plastic. Its like someone assembled broken parts and just ignored the cracks.

I believe you haven't listened voice note

There is a voice clip in my post. It was too hard to write the details..

They literally spoiled the dashboard, plastic and everything, just to cover a minor mistake on their part.

If they could have told him about the mistake, that the android, etc. headunit has been skipped from the company, so he will be compensated, etc. then shayed isski noubatt hi na aati...

Picanto gets a face-lift..

A bit "boy-racer" looking but an objectively good car. The 15.7 km/l fuel average is disappointing though.

So today I planned to spend time with Picanto and check it for a brief period of time. A journey was planned from Peshawar to Islamabad to kill boredom and test Picanto's AC performance and mileage. At 12:30 pm today journey started and I filled tank(Auto stop) on first petrol pump on the way (Total Petrol). Trip meter was reset to zero and I calculated last mileage ( which was all within city with AC). The car instrument cluster was showing 8.3 Liters per 100 kilometers which turns out to be 12.04 km/lit. I manually calculated, the trip meter distance divided by number of liters to full tank and it was 10.80 km/liter and I was disappointed. I started the journey went to Islamabad by motorway and I was the only occupant in the car. Average speed was 100 km/hr with full time ac. On entry to Islamabad I tried to goto pir sohawa, to check hill driving of the car but police barricaded the road and no one was allowed, went to F10 then back to Peshawar by motorway. On entry to Peshawar I filled the tank in total petrol pump. The car instrument meter was showing 6.0 liters per 100 kilometers which turns out to be 16.66 km/lit and I expected an average of 15 on manual calculation but I was surprised. The distance travelled was 371.1 km and fuel tank guage was a bit low then half mark and tank got filled with 19.79 liters so the manual calculation turns out to be 18.75 km/liters. Now I don't know which reading is correct but I am happy with both the figures, as AC cooling was superb on hot after noon it was almost 6 n half hours of non stop driving and journey was pleasant/comfortable and totally enjoyed music on the way.
