G'day, I'm way over in Western Australia, 250ks south of Perth in Busselton. Not to many Koups here. She certainly turns heads (the car not me). Saw the Koup in the colour of Lime Twist the other day at the dealership can't make up my mind if I like it or not.

Hi guys,

Bought my White auto koup 3 months ago and love it. Wife drives cerrato si. Have removed the insersts on the rims and replaced badges with the K's. Absolutely love it. Have seen a few around Castle Hill just outside of Sydney. Awesome looking car. Def need the 2.4 engine.

No 2.4L in Oz?? That's sad - how are you supposed to outrun the Commodores and Falcons???

Brissie was home till I moved to Canada.

My Cerato still scares the young fellas in the Holdens and Fords . It's funny to watch the facial expression when they get blown off at the lights by a Kia lol . And cornering is a dream and the kids are just hopeless at turning a steering wheel hahaha . Love giving the streets of the Gold Coast and BrisVegas a racetrack feel .

Another Aussie here. Im from Melbourne. I bought a white koup 5 speed manual last year however I've just noticed the 2011 model now has the 6 speed manual or 6 speed auto, sunroof, Bluetooth and leather. I'm gonna go to the dealership next weekend and see how much it's gonna cost me to upgrade. I really want the 6 speed automatic as I now have to sit in bad traffic all the way to work and the stop/start with the manual is killing me.

G'day sphell
Just picked up my white SLS auto last Friday. I drive the Kuranda Range every day then hit the traffic at the bottom of the hill. The six speed paddle shift auto is great - very little delay in shifting up or down. The sunroof bluetooth and leather are pretty good features as well. Hope you don't have to take out a second mortgage to upgrade :-)
Def worth it

Gday Im from Brisbane and I own a Lime Green Cerato Koup 2L. I've had my car for about a year now and looking to make some small mods to it. My LED Door Scuffs arrived today but have no idea how to install them. I also have some LED cup holder and console plates being shipped right now which I also will not know how to install. It would be great to have a fellow aussie help me out as I am car dumb and am thinking the slang used for car parts maybe different from overseas. Any help would be much appreciated.
