so, im organizing a group buy so that we can enjoy the superior filter type at a VERY reasonable price. I bet that even kia dealers dont hold or have the kind of filter we are ordering coz of limited market for kia cars here in malaysia. BTW, my main intention here is not to make profits, since i want to enjoy a better and comfortable driving experience. and i knew how good the cabin filter is, i want others to enjoy it too.
p/s: to kevin, please share your experience using the filter since the rest of them here never use it before
To be honest, I can't remember the experience. My car is still in the workshop with the insurance company and the panel workshop haggling over the cost of repairs. It's been almost 2 months
I just want to say that I purchased a Sonata NF filter at about the same time as the Rondo filter (through Group Buy #1). I paid roughly RM50 for the Sonata NF filter that was sourced from one of the cheapest places in PJ (PH Auto) and about RM70 for the Rondo filter.
For RM20 more, the Rondo filter is worth it. You can tell the construction quality in the Rondo filter as compared to the Sonata filter (both from OEM manufacturers). The Rondo filter also came with activated charcoal which the Sonata filter did not. The Rondo filter also had more folds and each fold was solidly constructed whereas the Sonata filter had less folds, thinner folds, and they were flimsy as well.
