Hopefully I really get the unit in May. Where did you make your reservation?

Made the 100k deposit last December (Acropolis). Was told that I will be included in the release of the 1st batch. When that didn't happen, the agent apologized and promised to include free 3M tints, including the whole windshield.

The 2nd batch should be released before May. But last week, he informed me that it seems highly unlikely because of Conduction Sticker related problems. Oh well, maybe they might offer me free LTO registration for this second delay.

Yeah my agent from Wheels Makati called me and said if I paid the 70k more they can release me a unit right away (different color from what I ordered). duh!!!!!!! I reserved Jan 2. I was polite but told him to please get me my unit at the price we agreed on. Sheesh.

Anyway I'm not in a hurry. If they piss me off I may just cancel and get a Honda Odyssey or splurge on an Alphard.

Well, it's a good thing pala I didnt pull out my reservation from BGC and transfer it to Acropolis. After I placed my reservation, I called Acropolis to ask if they had a display unit. They said they didnt the agent tried to convince me to transfer my reservation to them, promising me that they'd release the unit in April (the 1st batch). I doubted that they could do that so I stuck with BGC. Hope BGC doesnt disappoint and delivers when they said they'd deliver.

Hope they do deliver yours soon.

The 70k more will be deducted from the cost of the unit right? Kasi if not, it sounds like they're asking for a bribe or something.

Yes. They increased the price for the unit that was readily available.

Are the seats made of stain resistant cloth?

I saw that it has the "Yes Essentials" tag, so it's still stain resistant for 2016. Although the cloth and interior color is now cream/beige. 2015 model was light gray.

Saw one on the road earlier today, If I'm not mistaken, it came from either Kia Congressional or Kia Commonwealth based on the sticker on the back glass

After a month, how do you like it so far? Any problems or complaints?
Is it using Mineral or Fully Synthetic engine oil? TIA!
