yup.... it is final confirmed price ..... i just place my booking for 2.0SX Titanium Silver

the sales person confirm with me for 2.0SX only 2 colour available for the 1st batch. Titanium Silver (actually is grey-silver colour) & clear white only. for 1.6, i forgot what's the colour avaialble already...

Actually the 1.6SX is a very good deal compare to any other cars in the same price range..... just imagine that you have all the safety features ESC,EBD,CBC,BAS,ABS, TCS compare to CIty / Vios which have only ABS & EBD.

i choose the 2.0SX over the 1.6SX mainly due to I want to drive a 2.0 (more powerful engine than the Civic 2.0 & lancer) car and i want the extra airbags (6 airbags, wow!!! this only can be found on car that really expansive), the 17" sport rim and the leather seats.

personaly i still think Civic and Lancer are nicer look but after considering price ratio to the performance & safety features of that this Forte provided, we must agree that this is really a Bargain!!!

yupe. you are right that those anti korean sure won't buy this car, but if they didn't go and survey this car review around the world, they will found that they are absolutely still living in 90's era as they still think that Korean car are as last time. but however, this is people choice, noone is correct nor noone is incorrect about personal preference.

anyway, i'm sure 100 + 10 percent getting this babe.

ya, i agreed that. i already call up 3 branch and survey. none of them offer any discount. if about the petrol voucher, yes... they willing to give RM50.00 voucher (but depend on approval) . for those tinted voucher, yes, they can give up to rm300.00 / rm400.00 but be honestly, all thiis tinted voucher actually is crap as they will required you to pay more on it which end up you almost paying the full price.

but our model of Forte will come with UV mirror (forgot the full name is what as the brochure not with me now) where it will adjust automatically according to sunlight level where it actually do reduce the uv and heat jsut like tinted. correct me if i'm wrong.

as on Saturday, they said already 25 ppl booking this Forte (before i placed my booking), i check with 2 branch on this and they told me the same thing. i believe they all getting the infor from the Naza HQ?? according my SA, he said only 200 units of CBU will be here. don't know whether is true or not?

but actually i believed that a CKD also will be in very good condition as what i know naza actually bring in the whole car without doors into M, and just assemble the doors in M and treat as ckd. this already minimize the chance of getting poor finishing due to some of our 'excellent' workers in M. So, this means that CKD as good as CBU but just scare that CKD version will be downgrade version where Naza will removing some of the features.


try to get the CBU if you can but a CKD will be nice too..... so far i ask 2 bank on the loan interest of this FOrte (CIMB and Allianze), both of them saying that we can get 3.1% for 9 years and even lower if go for 7 years...... quite good rate as per current market for a Korean car.

i will confirm back with you once i submit my application..... as all the info given is thru verbal by the banker.....so, i actually no black and whte..... will revert on this soon....

i will submit my loan application maybe this friday or next week. i will try submit public bank, cimb & allianze... will come back to you guys if i got the final rates

the earliest can get the car is suppose 2 weeks after the launch...
white colour confirm is metalic.... and it actually look cool....try to search online.... i found got 1 website with the pic of white colour forte..... personally like it very much but i'm not too good in handling white colour car.... so better don't touch it...... hehe

yupe... hope can ride this babe for my christmas celebration~~

welcome to join in Titanium Silver group as me... ahha.... i prefer this colour as white colour too difficult to 'jaga'....... too bad don't have the light graphite...

as what i heard, 1st batch will come with the audio control & cruise control at the steering..... just left out the bluetooth fucntion as in US spec.....
the radio will support 6 indash cd..... this is what i heard.... yet to be confirm

really?? mmm..... don't know which branch is talking the true..... my SA told me that already 78 booking as per today (nationwide)..... seems like all the SA just main tembak je.....
ok.... i submitted my loan with CIMB (actually is my SA submit on behalf) , and it came out with 3.55% for 9 years and 3.4% (the best he can give) for 7 years . today i confirm again with Alliance banker... he said he can arrange 3.1% for 9 years for me.... i will pass my application to him by tomorrow or thursday.... see whether is true or not......

i'm from port klang. currently check with alliance bank in puchong.... will double confirm whether is true or not....

then just place your order on end of dec, u will get the car by Jan...... kidding.... try to check with the SA see whether he/she can help u on this???

the price for 2.0 full spec (SX) should be RM93,800.00

a very good comparison of forte vs others rival....

cannot be 95,800.00... the official price list already can get at any KIA branch..... better check properly before con by ur SA.....

is it true?? is the cash rebate already give to you or straight away deduct from your car price?

can share which dealer u deal with??

pmed already....

I'm also placed my booking already but now my 'future father in law' also interested.... so a rebate of RM1k will be better than none, rite??
