Have you guys seen the Hyundai I30?

I saw an article in the papers forgot star or sun today.

The center console, air-cond vents for the I30 looks like the Kia Forte.

Do check it out


I took the pic from paultan but the local newspaper picture looks slight diff. more towards the forte.

hows your spectra 5 perform?
care to share your FC usage?

its infact 80% sibling from elanta...

in town use..around 9~10L/ 100 km ..can go worse if u stuck in jam(13L/100km)..

if highway 100% ...rm 60 can go 400km..8.23L/100km (at 120-130km/h)

if drive 90-100km/h ..can go down to 7.5L or 7.3L/100km

my car just over 7K km...power starts to feel better.

The other possible explanation for the autocruise in the launch model is that it‘s only in the first batch CBU 2.0s.

Maybe it‘s not included in the naza brochure booklet coz they‘ll take it out when CKD.
Maybe .,

erhmmm yeah why not? cause the whole first batch is fully imported

i believe will be slightly better lor, cause the engine has been retuned
higher hp, higher tourqe

wah.. doesn't sound very efficient to me.

15" rims?

FC okok la..the car is heavy ma.

mine is 16inch rims

hehe, just test drive forte again today and also honda city. total already test drive forte 3 times. haha...but still haven't book.

anyways 1st for the 1.6 EX. the interior feels very cheap and plastic. no red illumination on the meters, much like any normal cars. the seat material was also inferior compared to SX. ride was more comfortable than 1.6SX cos of 15" tyres. pickup was also better. even can hear some sound coming from door panel when going over some potholes. when test drove in 1.6SX, the interior really makes u feel like u're driving an expensive car. even honda city lose in this department. no sound coming from door panel compared to EX.

overall 1.6SX is really the model to go for....

any updates on the car loan interest rate? anyone?

Your's is auto?

3.1% from alliance. others 3.5%

I also test drove the SX model. Too bad the branch I go to lets ppl test a stretch of road less than 2 km Anyway tested in a city start/stop condition so didn't rev hard. Acceleration for 1.6L is decent for normal use and should please if you're not a speed demon. Pretty quiet and pickup is smooth. Handling is really nice. Air cond at 21 degrees made my hands icy cold.

GOOD NEWS!

Kia Forte 2 years warranty CAN be extended by another WHOPPING 3 years by a mere RM 700 ++ <-- this is what my sa told me...

how true is this? which SA from which dealer/branch?

Another new story.

Wondering.. doest it come with any T&C ..?

hehehe... kepong SA. Friendly fellow, ask for Demil

Another new story to add to the confusion. 2.0 only available next year and it is CKD. I wonder how does Naza manage their operations.

Ask them 2.0 got auto cruise say got. Side mirror can fold also got. I think their sales people really blur about what is in the car spec.

Someone should feedback to Kia that their launching is badly planned with different SA telling you when you can get the car or what is the car accessories.
