Hi! Everyone!

Just got to know SA where this 1st batch of CBU do not have any 2.0SX unit. It mean all 500 unit is under 1.6 EX and SX. 2.0SX only available next year Jan 2010.

Oh my god!!!! I sold my car and booked the 2.0SX last month and now pending loan approval. Evetything run smooth except this bad news - NO CAR.....

Hi! you better check with ur SA coz I had called HQ and dealer.
I quite angry with Naza arrangement where SA take booking fees without knowledge and do not understand company direction.

*There are 500 units came in but maybe only allow 200 units to sell because 300 units as show unit and test unit.


mad.gif mad.gif mad.gif Do not know whether cancel booking or change to 1.6SX or waiting without confirmation. rclxub.gif

Just back from PJ show room, from my SA mentioned that spicy red actually not really spicy or light, it is quite little dark red (like previous honda city red). I had changed my mind to clear white (2K solid color) after view the show unit. Tested start button and dashboard plastic feel better in SX model compare to EX. The plastic surface acceptable and more better than P2 Myvi & Alza. Pending for test drive to confirm whether change to 1.6SX model. hmm.gif

Why the PPS company want us prompt response to get 15% discount?
I believe that later we all get cars and go together also can get the discount. Why need to pay 100 for non-refundable, why they cannot wait fo us? We give them business.....

Tested 1.6SX in PJ area specially uphills, rough round, traffic jam and etc.
All condition look fine for me bcoz I use to drive korea car - heavy body!
I just simply press hard b4 uphill and it perform well within 2 person inside car. I can use shiftonic to change the gear manually and it really work to maintain gear 2 until rpm to 4-5K and power is remain until I increase gear 3 later 4.
Overall, 1.6SX engine performance is acceptable but reaqlly do not know the FC. The test unit show 14l/100km and I believe it may coz by short distance test drive.
But still need more finding bcoz no change to test 2.0 model b4 final decision make.

I booked my car at Taman Maluri this evening. Funny thing is that he is confident that the car can be delivered in 2 weeks if the loan is in order. Do you think the SA is not telling the truth as I can see from others who booked earlier saying they can't get the 2.0 Forte.

He said that out of 500 cars, 300 are 2.0, 100 for the 1.6ex and 1.6sx. Over 100 units had been sold in Langkawi as it was opened for booking a few months ago.

SURE not truth info! He may con you so u booked for him to achieve sales target!!!
Pls refer previous post for detail.

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
