if you read paultan review there were 2.0 and 2.4 forte tested...koup and the other one has 4 door...but dont expect it to be around 70k

u have many options...dont be so disappointed

not so sure naza will bring the 2.0 and 2.4 though

just called the SA in klang. they said arriving in august. got 2 models CKD and CBU. prices are rm66k for the CKD and rm76k for the CBU. both are 1.6 models.

as for the difference between the CKD and CBU not confirm yet but the SA assure me the extra 10k u pay is worth every cent.

the SA just replied me the 2.0L will be released next year. no one know what price yet.

no updates yet whether they will bring in 2 doors or 4

Added on July 3, 2009, 10:05 ami have called to several naza kia dealers to ask them when this model will launch in malaysia and guess what they said this model has arrive in malaysia can be launched anytime. the delay is because they trying to clear the old spectra model as many as possible.

i just came back from naza kia found out that naza will not release the 2.0L becoz next year they will launch kia optima replacement. but this 1.6L they said most likely will be launched b4 merdeka.

from june until august then now end of the year. if any Naza ppl reading this forum they better think twice on this decision.

the fact is, korean makes hardly attract fans in malaysia. and that small bunch of ppl who are interested aren't gonna buy spectra 5 if they know that forte is coming with a competitive price so regardless of how much stock they still have, spectra 5's gonna sit there waiting to rot. Naza will end up losing more because a lot ppl will go for other choices rather than waiting for forte.

sad ppl, and to have waited this long i think i'm going to buy another make soon. bye bye Naza

i doubt the report. the 2 door koupe will not help win market share as the demand for 4 door sedan will be many folds more than 2 door sedan.

called the guy he said naza is not going to bring the 2.0L model.. just 1.6 forte...
my friend had seen this kia forte in malaysia as he is the kia authorize service dealer.
he also mentioned there are total of 3 new models.

just got sms from dealer

it will launch 2 model

Kia forte 1.6 shiftronic (full spec with push start button for rm82K) and lower spec for rm75K

hmmm

i doubt this will be successful. the price is kinda expensive to me. better get honda city.
