Simple, double standard.

Ppl have higher hope when they pay less and want to get a lot a lot more from the local cars . Tell u, if Proton ever produce a car tht have a 2400cc engine, with their own design and all, ppl will expect Proton to sell it below 100k

back to topic, I'm also thinking of advising my parent to get the Kia Forte, bt due to the windscreen crack thingy, i guess I need to either opt for another option or wait for the other batch tht already fix this problem to come.

Btw, shame tht Naza wont bring the 2.0 version here, it can easily fight wif Civic intern on looks.

fix for you and every1 to watch here


btw, I consider it as true, bt mayb nt 100% accurate, cause it an advertisement, so you know lo

Really considering this car, shame they not bringing in the 2.0l version of the Forte, cause I think due to power to weight ration, I think the 2.0 engine would have a better FC, specially if driving at high speed, and it would be easier to overtake cars too.

Wait, did i read correctly? It say 5 speed tip tronic gear box plus we can buy another 4 air bag? All for the 1.6l model? If this is true, in someway, our spec sound a lot better than what Singapore is getting

I think he mean Mazda 2

yup, only on the entry spec, any Forte above this spec have auto aircon I wonder if they would offer the manual version of the 2.0 spec?

What to do, close 1 eye, open 1 eye. Even Proton car are effected by this, other than Saga and Savvy, Gen 2, Waja, Persona and Exora running on 1.6 engine, so if the article is true, it seem Goverment is not protecting Proton anymore, but they are helping Perodua in their sales, cause all Perodua car are below 1.5L.

Theta II

Hahaha, i'm from Sarawak, also interested, but now, need to convince my parent to get this Kia instead of another Toyota.

He is not wrong actually, the reason is because

GEMA 2.0 (original develop name) = Theta II 2.0 (Kia/Hyundai name for the engine) = 4B11 (mitsubishi version)

All in all, basicly the same engine except maybe some different tuning by the different manufacture.

Ya, cause they got few plant in the US, South Korea and Japan.


Due to this, this make this car an even sweeter package to buy.
