yerp spec wise definitely Forte win , but reliability still Honda having a better score.
So what I have in mind is City E-spec is the minimum anything extra are bonus more bonus at the same price then this is what I call attraction.  Down to earth both is a 4 wheel vehicle with standard safety feature price around 90k rite?

I am worried about long run maintenance cost, 1.5 vs 2.0 definitely we know 1.5 is much cheaper (eg. road tax, fuel consumption... blah blah blah), if and only if the Mycard thingy implemented  like the credit card RM 50 charge for all cards, (you know lar nowdays abit siao in the implementation) then is like 2.0 above all lesser subsidy then is another big minus point again to get a 2.0 car - well I am speculating nothing is solid regarding this, but this is a unwanted extra expenses.

C lar just announce no more 2nd parts important starting from 2011.... sigh

wahhhaaa...  just few post back clarified that BK is an offer/promo item and they now(local AD) offer it as option at ~1k wor.   

Cruze has that better conti touch to be fair.. better sound insulation too, good on road dynamics then, but 1.6 CMI wor. (forte door closing sounds cheap unless u do up door insulation..haa) . but if already concern of forte FC then.. Cruze would probably make your heart beats faster!.     

oh.. ahemm...
must stress still i am a proud owner of forte! haa...   

korean cars comes a long way... to be fair..(finger cross) in sg koup offer 5 years unlimited mileage!.. that sound good?

to me and some friends who drove kimchi make before all says trouble free.. (i have my reservation on that to proof..) amid little here and there... but overall must say its as good.. if not better..

how is naza kia's after service?

oh where where where?  

Lol..is it in the Klang Valley? If it is..once I get the car..I'll go to that service centre only =X

On the BK issue..wait..are you guys saying it comes as standard for all CBU units in Malaysia? Or only Novus Spec CBUs?

Wah..serious ka..crap man..summore just about to change job next month..dunno wanna go crazy and try to get or not.. =/

UPDATE: News from Kereta.info..there's a White Forte in the link..looks nice..but white is hard to maintain =S

UPDATE II: Kia Forte Koup next year?
So..the Forte this year..while the Koup next? As far as I know..Kia's only sports car is the Koup..right? =S SOS

how bout after service eh? i checked here, selangor only got 5 service centre?? n not 1 of them is near my place.

So, phelix..
can sought your help in getting the original parts? 

this kia model seems awesome and the price is reasonable~ sigh~ i jz bought the new honda city full spec~ the kia salesman told me the 2.0 full spec model will also be price +- 90k only~

2.0 full spec 90k, 1.5 full spec 90k.... =.=''

 

I hope so too..I was actually planning to work for a month or 2 and see how's my performance first..but don't want to miss out on the CBU units..if Naza do launch the CKD units at slightly lower price and minor downgrade..I don't mind..
Some showroom already have the car..but it is kept from customer views *Refer phelix's photos few pages back*
As it is not launched yet..the car is kept away from publics' eye for now
Mehehe..nice nice..will keep in touch!

wah.. they cap at 1.5! OMG! think so now ppl will go back to T&H.. but hey .. then maybe price for forte will drop!?
Many proton mainstream model also hit wor... silly rite? tapi..Malaysia boleh la..
