... misan nga naka tapat na sa pinto ayaw pa rin bumukas e tsambahan lang

sobrang hassle nga talaga. minsan nakakailang pindot talaga ako at kung saan saan ko pa tinatapat pero mas nakukuha pag sa may window sa driver side mo itapat pero hassle pa rin kasi kelangan malapit na malapit ka as in ididikit mo pa yung remote sa bintana.grrrr... pwede kaya ireport ito sa casa? aayusin kaya nila ito?

The first batch are without alarms and key less. Lahat add odd accessory at bibili kapa. In 2006 lumabas yung may front power window at dun narin nagstart ung OEM na power locks but with out the OEM alarm and keyless. Audiovox din mga alarm and keyless.

Wow! Picanto thread! Hehehe...

Mga master, newbie ako rito. Tanong ko sana kung magkano current price ng brand new na Picanto (manual and automatic).. Alam ko last April, may OK na promo ang Kia kaso di ko alam kung existing pa rin yun. Very interested rin kasi ako sa car na 'to (I'm actually choosing between Picanto, Alto, and Spark).

I hope you guys can help me, as well as give advice to help me on my purchase! Salamat ng marami!

Manual is 500k na. I don't know yung matic, mga 550k na ata. May promo pa ata like free registration for 3 years and insurance for a year.

80,000+ kms on the odometer and still going strong.

*ambekam- maluwag/noisy door locks and price of acu air filter.

since you mentioned noise in the door locks I can now confirm that same noise in my car was not an isolated event. maingay yung door panel near the lock. the noise disappears when, while running, I open the door slightly which confirms noise has something to do with the lock. the former kia quezon avenue fixed it. nasa door lock assembly yung maluwag. now my other door (passenger right hand side) shows the same symptoms pero mahina pa lang. The hatchback also makes a clicking noise once in a while in rough roads. Could be the lock too.

Price of acu air filter in 2004 was P350. now its P800 also at kia mandaluyong. this is the reason why during my 75,000km scheduled maitenance I asked them to just clean the acu filter not replace it.

My tires now are Goodyear ACT-5, bigger than the stock tire where the odometer is calibrated which means that my odometer is under-reading a little.

My picanto is still stock. No modifications whatsoever (save for the Goodyear tires.) No alarm, power locks, power mirrors or power windows.

My main car security is that yellow RaiTon steering lock which has not failed me yet.

Have an enjoyable ride guys.
