where u going to test drive? still not receive any call yet.
ttdi or naza pj (federal highway) got d?

probably going after 6 maybe even 7 ... jam hour hard to test drive... you know la that area

If I can go off early I might catch you there

Jul,

Hopefully they got concrete information for us. It's really a mess. Some say this and that. It is not firm and for those who interested in 2.0, just wait there like  ..

They need our support, we need theirs too.

yhlee, where u going for test drive later?

only:

2.0 have 6 airbags, leather seats & nothing else as per current info....

1 question : any of u guys plan to downgrade yr 17" tyres to 16" or 15"?

cos definately 17" won't give much comfort in town. also autoworld did mentioned there's quite a big difference in acceleration on the 15" EX compared to 17" SX.

No, nothing from the website. The leavesyouspeechless website start count down from 364 days   

Mine is 100% loaded but very slow.

ok... like the ec mirror v.much.. but pity of the tiny size... back view is ok with the extra large side mirror.. 1 advice tho.. is not to trust too much.. cos object is closer then they appear... need some time getting use to.. kena hon like mad for the 1st few days...

To me, those are not "gift". I'm actually thinking of maybe petrol voucher, service voucher, kia emblem    etc.

Keychain??? Calender ?? Cap??       

1st batch 500 units only for 1.6EX and 1.6SX.
Spicy Red only available for 1.6EX.
But, only 200+ units for sales coz 300+ for show unit and test unit

well because of the rim and tyre, quality of tyre also a concern?
also can add soundproof on the particular area in future to make it better, more quiet

Car not yet out already like this.

Now i start to worry their post-sales service.

Very bad, a good car end up in shitty distributor.

Then, ppl will start say: Told u right, KIA no good...

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.

i believe u need to settle the remaining 10% once loan approved. don't matter when u'll get the car, am i right?

Because Naza sux! and have no intention of improving their customer service, be it supply/availability of parts or level of maintenance expertise!
Their goal is just sell the car, take the customer's money after that the customer sendiri kow tim.
