Naza oh Naza... are you pulling a old Proton trick on us now?

Even Proton with the new mgmt engage the customer better and plan their launch better. This is like those old Proton days knowing they are cheap and people will flock to buy, so why bother with planning.

engine capacity, bukan macam the one last time mention 1 gua~
1.5 above half subsidy ?

wahlau...fuel subsidy based on engine capacity? then how about those who drive civic hybrid w 1.3cc engine? pay same as myvi owners even though obviously civic owner is higher income? how about those who drive 2.5cc 4x4 pickups? pay like 2.5cc petrol engines?

gosh... based on cc.... that rotary engine in RX8 is oni 1.3 but it gulp. The new bimmer 7-series is 3.0 but return 9 l/km (which is better than my 2.0).

who thought of all this formula in the government la???

can upgrade ..infact my spectra5 is having 5 years warranty ..2 years by KIA , and the next 3 years by some donno what insurance company <--this is what i'm not confident in. i havent even receive my extended warranty letter yet...

Normally the insurance company extended warranty on certain parts only. RM700 look ok but do check what are the parts cover.

Like Myvi, perodua strike a deal to cover extra years on their engine and gearbox only.

yup, thats y i'm thinking bout what they cover actually...since mine is free, so i i'm not thinking about wether to pay that rm700 or not. Just have to find out what they cover.

coz u all know la, bila mau claim, ini tak boleh itu tak boleh..they normally cover those parts which majority will not gets damage easily

To all my fellow Forte Lovers/Admirers,
I'm now going for 1.6SX, changing my initial plan to get the 2.0SX. Reasons...

1) Dunno what's the exact release date for the 2.0SX? like JoLee & Bomberman's notes, very likely next year (Jan?Mar? Apr? dunno)... and by then, it could well be a CKD (who know they might start to produce locally due to high demand? The Manager told me all recently arrived are "CBU" and are all 1.6)
2) Tested drive the 1.6SX 2 times and SATISFIED ! 1 short distance, another farther.. clear road, traffic light, uphill (flyover), traffic jam.. all worked well for me. It's more than sufficient for my daily commute around town.. not to forget there were 3 adults & 3 kids in the car. FC from initial 15.3l/100km drop to 14.2l/100km.. so far no sluggish feeling
3) 1.6Sx means cheaper installments/road tax/insurance.. if 1.6SX is already sufficient, no need for 2.0 already..

Loan approved @ 9y for 3.1%. Now waiting for the Branch's confirmation on car allocation (cos Clear White is really high demand).. Once allocation is confirmed, can pay the remaining down-payment and drive home my Forte. The car is spacious, comfortable, and well sufficient for my family. Decision made, deal closed.

Sluggish feeling differ from person to person...1.6 is ok for NORMAL use, if u have 4-5 adults in the car u'll feel heavy...and if with 4-5 adults going up genting, u'll know what ppl called "tarik lembu naik genting" . (u just gotta try this)..

1.6 acceleration guaranteed loose to vios or city.

burgerlim tried already ar?

wow, just took a nap and got extra 2 pages..

err.. is that the power from julz? he just posted complaining warranty period is way too low and the nex day (today) got SA says can extend to 5 years? what's a coincidence..?

i rather pray hard that the car itself will not have any major or even minor problems so that i dont need to utilize warranty thingy at all...
thus, after sales service doesnt matter d..

agreed on this... but usually the most problem part of a car is not the engine but the gearbox.... as gearbox is the most complicated part & most expensive part..... so, if really the extended warranty cover the gearbox.... i think we should just engage it.... as a gearbox can cost you a BOMB.

now pray hard and trust me SA for getting the car by december....
seriously i got exhausted for following all the 'latest' news everyday..


PS, any1 hu gets a chance to play with the remote, press on the silver button c whether the silver part can be pulled out anot..
coz BMW's 1, the silver part is the key...
coz today my fren asked the SA, if car battery died, how?
then the SA just leave speechless...

the silver part definitely can pull out.... it is a key....
but the problem remain.... IF our COOL Push Button Malfunction we still cannot start even u have the key.....

yup, anyhow the final determination of starting the car is the button...
but i dun think this thing can be easily spoilt... somehow i trust korean car indeed has a REAL improvement..

asked all SA.. say this car has totally no key.. BS la...

Anyway I hope you are not from Naza. The branch I am dealing with is Taman Maluri. Like you say some of the SA are pretty new. I am just worried about how Naza manages their customers expectation as it does not give a good impression if they are merely accepting bookings and not giving a realistic date for car delivery.

However I have to admit they are very friendly.

Added on November 26, 2009, 5:48 pmI agree with you. Like I said yesterday, the determining factor is whether the 2.0 engine power gives a big difference. If the 1.6 is good enough why not save some money. I am keen on the 2.0 but with all the funny rumours going around and now saying car is ckd if collect in January is a big put off. Yesterday the SA say can get in 2 weeks. Today speak to another SA 2.0 is only available in January 2010 and is CKD. They also expect you to buy the car without testing and not knowing what suprise they may give you. Worst thing is you may get cruise control but they may drop the 6 airbag etc.

Hi Forte lovers!! Wow this thread is flying faster than you can say "anyong ha se yo"!

Sales guy told me if book now, can get CBU unit.

Question: What guarantee do we get, that we will receive a CBU unit? Can cancel, if upon receiving that we find out it's a CKD? Is there some sort of way we can put it in writing when making the booking?
n00b here, sorry if it's a silly question

1 question, what diff between CBU and CKD?
why so insist CBU???

why someone so insist nokia made in finland & nokia made from china/other (AP set)?....think.the different here CKD & CBU price same whlie AP set & Ori set is not the same...in this case,assume AP set & Ori set price is the same..hehe

support

hey just a quick question is it true that we could not get the old car ncb if the car is not under my name? is there any way that I could get this done??

what insurance company is base on the agent that you are buying or you can choose yourself? which is the best and hassle free insurance company?

I'm pretty much in for 1.6sx and gonna settle all this minor minor task and the car loan as well.
