do i consider as one of the earliest?? booked mine 2.0 on 7/11
if time is the factor of deciding who is able to get the car..
means i need to stick with puchong branch?
damn.. need to check with both SA, see who can bring the car first.
*
huh, u booked ur car almos 3 weeks ago..
unbelieveable...!

but the best part is...
the form he gave us is just temporary form..
is not officially key in to their system...
because that time no price, not much info on the Forte.
if allocation of car depends on when the key in to the system...
that the story is different... u know how good is NAZA management.
*
u got the point bro.. but no one of us will know the answer of it..
personally, i dont think SA knows the procedure of car allocation..
mayb HQ ppl will know.. but never put any hope in getting the truth from them... hmm.gif

Nah... i hope its the updated verison, personally i feel plastic too for the old interior (door no padding and not red-stitches version) anyone verify this?

new version is v.good.. nicely padded.. and no hard plastic... nope...
*
err.. yes for EX.. and no for SX.. SX has better interior..
both contain hard plastic.. but for SX, there's soft plastic as well.. not sure bout EX

Heard from PJ SA that the 2.0 wait list in Europe is 3-4 months, Singapore is 4-5 months..and, Malaysia?
The SA told me waiting for parts to make CKD here wor...
Said this year no 2.0 units.
Wah..different SA tells different stuffs.

Lucky mine not 2.0.

Just back from PJ show room, from my SA mentioned that spicy red actually not really spicy or light, it is quite little dark red (like previous honda city red). I had changed my mind to clear white (2K solid color) after view the show unit. Tested start button and dashboard plastic feel better in SX model compare to EX. The plastic surface acceptable and more better than P2 Myvi & Alza. Pending for test drive to confirm whether change to 1.6SX model. hmm.gif
*
so u have confirmed that white color is solid?
did u ask ur SA whether got stock for spicy red?
omg.. now left silver, tit. silver and metal bronze for me to choose.... rclxub.gif

QUOTE(jimmy.soo @ Nov 24 2009, 03:20 PM)
well, 1 think im wondering the remote u said can charge... i dont see any connector on the remote itself, how does it gonna charge leh? :hmmm:
*
in fact, there is a slot below the start button...
not sure whehter the remote is rechargeable.. but that slot is provided jus in case ur remote is running out of battery..
and cant detect by ur car.. so u slot it in and start ur car

QUOTE(bomberman @ Nov 24 2009, 03:26 PM)

viewed all.. i feel even angry towards naze, as they jus take every single things available in US and put it on the site..
especially the aircond 1.. it says frequent use buttons are near to driver.. wth??
and the steering is with auto cruise...?
sigh

QUOTE(julz76 @ Nov 25 2009, 12:56 AM)
hahaha..was busy-lah bro..
went to see my Rolls Royce.
hehehe...

didn't test drive..
like the White colour but like they say its non-metallic
but the SA at OKR kept insisting it was..apa-lah..
told me whole M'sai only 25 booking.
wonder if most these SA's know what the crap they saying..
but he did say 2.0 next year..
*
wait.. 2molo i go test drive.. then i let u know.. haha..
hope there will be 3rd color appears at the showroom for test driving..

Yes CVVT is there... and v.smooth too... cos of the long good list, that didn't make it to shout on brochure..heee..
+1, this time round its v.v.good.. they retuned that.. and guess.. with aftermarket stabilizer it gets even better.. (my next mood...heee..)
yup.. think this part needs a little insulation.. and guess many spotted.. the door close with feather light force too.. most friends of mine close it like in benz.. only to reduce the door life..haaa..
So did you floor the pedal more..? i bet youll agree of the super sensitive pedal?? floor it more.. power kicks in after ~2.5 or so..
nah... i say anytime... this could be from a better basket from the same shelf???heee...
For this, to my understanding is that KIA currently only have this poor cousin for RHD.. so 5AT is on the way.. the question is .. when...??? haaa...
So glad you finally tested this car.. interior is very very good in cruising... but rev a little more.. its sound should intrude..
Stock audio is among the best.. insulate door for even better bass...
Did you notice of the SDVL?? (speed depending vol level? ~something like tat??) too??? means it adj vol to your speed... slower softer faster louder!!!! haaaa...
*
SDVL, i know got such thing.. but i didnt know forte has it.. r u serious bro?


QUOTE(julz76 @ Nov 25 2009, 01:09 AM)
which showroom?
in melaka?
wat's the colours u seen so far?
wat's the 3rd colour?
*
silver and tit. silver.. melaka jln tun ali branch...
err.. the tit. silver i saw is totally different from the forte.my......
argh.. dun tel me the SA mess up wif tit. silver and metal bronze..

What's the difference between buzzer and alarm ? The SA also told me got alarm
*
alarm is the normal alarm as other cars do...
alarm without a buzzer means that.. when u unlock and lock the car...
it will have no 'ti ti' or 'tu tu' or whatever sound...
it is common nowadays..

it doesnt matter me much whether the car comes wif a buzzer..
but i rather hope that the car will automatically lock after a period of time..

for 1st 200 booking, you will get below gifts:

-  Forte Cap
- Forte Backpack
- calendar (i think is world cup related)
- forte key chain

but all this is while stock last.... usually all this SA will keep aside and then tell u only for 1st 200 and you are after 200...so no more this gift.... vmad.gif
*
really? but v as a consumer will nvr know are v in the list of 1st 200....
