i hv called so many SA but nobody can confirm when is the launching

serious??? no 2.0 launch in future?

will the soul be sold in malaysia?

what i found out from the SA is 65k CKD 75k CBU.

don't dare to pay deposit as no one can confirm the price yet. if price at rm80k i would rather buy honda city.

hi, all some update..

driving 1.6 here in sg, hmm... not exactly powerful but not underpower at all... comparing to Waja.. its pretty similar...
but only concern is this car really like to cruise... otherwise ..FC suffer to like 10l/100km.. (start stop) so.. think not that good for city driving... in highway.. it could reach 7-8l/100km easily..

here to share... KOUP is LAUNCHING.. in SG too... now... and not very far diff in $$$... those likes 2 doors should keep a look out for it...

KouP! site

Thanks for the info.

Could you furnish me, in cruise mode what is the RPM for 100km/h and 120km/h?

What is the mileage of your car now? FC 10l/100km. Maybe it will be better once is driven thru.

Any other complain or problem about this car? Does your Forte comes in full spec? Like keyless ?

I hope KIA Malaysia will bring in the full spec and not the lowest spec. Normally Singapore has better spec like Leather seat and so on.

Last I heard, Forte 4-door will be offered as a CKD 1.6, Forte Koup as a CBU 2.0 but things may have changed now.

When are they going to release this car, from SG saw 1 silver with BK, damm nice arrr...damm you naza faster release this car.

Simply amazing 

bit by bit.. i dun think Vios is anywhere close to this car.. Tested both before buying into this MIK...  space / spec / size / look out and in / features, you name it...
Altis yes and no... as many pointed out its C-seg.. in most car review.. this car is targeting on Civic, M3, Nissan... and Corolla (altis).. HTH...

yes FC not better then vios / city but lets not forget its on 17" rims 205/215 - 45 profile, i am getting 7.5l/100km now / 13.3km/l (80/20% H/C) which i think is fantastic for a 1.25t car with 17" wheel...  those Ex users here (in SG) could manage 6.xl/100km which is on par if not better...

much much less busy driving... (aka far more quiet)... at least here.. since AD will have say in term of insulation level. in SG the car price is steadily going up (COE contributes too) and think its still selling like hot cakes... from 43k to 49k liao... still people buying over...

personally prefer Mz3 but.. price is another 18k more! haaa...

HTH...

Hi, Bro
the Standard BK on forte is from AD and it claim to be 1.5k SGD! haaa... i dun think at this time you could get it at 600SGD... we original buyer still waiting for the installation like hell... like 4-5mths backlog...

bush button sounds good, but is it reliable? i hate it when my buch of keys starts swinging when i drive over bumpy roads.

normal key start can modify to push start rite?

its coming.. but for old batch no for all models.. push module for LHD only... Only with the recent Koup launch.. they make this push button avails.. but at $$$.. and alot of it... :lol...
