Bro, I think u should test drive both cars... For me, if I don't mind the second hand value and "lousier" service centres, I will definately get the Forte.. The accessories are amazing, 6 airbags, keyless entry etc.. 17" rims also with better tyres than lousy City tyres...

Heard and read in TeamCity most NHC change to 17" rims regret cause no power in pick up..

Nolar, NAZA KIA is definitely out of the question for me. HONDA all the way.

Why did you friend changed to 17" when he is very well aware that CITY has only a 1.5litre engine??

branding always play a part in a buyer's decision...some may opt for more established brands, e.g Honda, Toyota...while some may go for the Forte's bang-for-the-buck...

i personally will choose the Honda City over Forte...but that's just me!

Hi wtfoo1, u get ur car edi? My loan was applied by my SA and I got the Maybank officer hp number. So, I will call her and ask. see how thn..

Added on December 13, 2009, 1:47 pm Me too...100% will choose Honda City over Naza Forte altot the Naza Forte is really nice but only the cover/exterior is nice, inside/interior/engine are... .

Yeap, just got it last week, Tue to be exact. Enjoying every bit of it, all can summarise in one word, superb, so far, no issues, only minor teething problems, bring back to SC to rectify. Partially my fault too, didnt check the car properly when take delivery (coz rushing for time, and the SA not reconmended, just explain standard stuff, not helpful, only $$$ minded, unless u r really seasoned car buyer, only interested with discount, definitely no for first time car buyer like me)

Yes. In addition to the standard Honda checklist provided by SA for u to sign off when u accept delivery of ur car, pls check for interior fittings, those "plastic thingy" in the car, see got anything loose or not (these is not included in the checklist). My case, the aircon vent on the passenger side dashboard come off. So, got to bring back to SC to get it fixed, even though FOC, but, time wasted.

Hope u get ur car soon and enjoy the ride (I think u will, coz I believe u already done extensive research before u decide rite). Oso, u will realised, when u driving, others drivers will become more courteous to u, maybe c u new, nice car, but oso, some idiot will purposely bully u too.

really funny, as u admit lousier service center, and forte has a lot electronic devices, can u ensure ur device will work well all the time? if break down, hope ur lousier service center can help u out... lol...

if a car cant fit 17" rims then means not worth to buy?
come back with a proof that 1.6 forte with 18" rim can be powerfull...

i love my NHC...will never go to change it to KIA forte....

Kia Forte seems very promising in every aspect but Kia quality record have keep us away. No saying Honda record was very good but at least better then Kia, i think. Somehow, when i saw Kia Forte at showroom for the first time, i tot it was same standard with Honda Civic. The build quality was very solid or maybe better.

Anyway, i am a satisfy Honda City driver here.

Air-cond vent also can come off? Honda really geng ar…anyhow, thanks for the info and I am sure will be more caution and check all the parts carefully.
I have done many researches on tis NHC edi. Even my SA also dunno much bout NHC, I knw more than him dim.
Yala, especially whn ur car is new model thn lagi many ppl bully u. Even u park at parking lot, some idiot also will go scratch ur car.

just called my sa and got to know that white has already postponed to march....

hey ur not the only one haha. me too have been following since last year july...sigh...

scratch...unless parked at some open carpark with lots of foreign workers around or parked arrogantly. normally in shopping mall are those ppl who opened their doors so rough, thus making dents on your car with every little bit accumulated its really heart breaking.

Hi Elru, have you booked NHC?Been seeing you around here for so long....

Maybe this thing has been posted earlier but for those who don't know, check out J.D Power Initial
Quality Study report and it says NHC has the least reported problems(76/100cars) in its segment and the second best was Vios but at a distance with 107problem/100cars. So for those out there who still contemplating between NHC or Vios.....do I have to say more..

That's why I can proudly said I am extremely satisfied with my new NHC, just only minor minor issues, of which I believe $$$ can solve (but unfortunately, I dont have at the moment , but, a good motivation for me to save, and dont simply spend money nowadays)

Elru....u r not alone...that's why nowadays....I a bit paranoid go shopping mall, scared some ppl open their door rough rough, go hit my car....area like midvalley, 1U, big no no, shopping complex bit quiet oso no no, scared security no good, ppl steal, but, on positive side, stay at hope, save money...... then, go fixed those minor minor problem....

Added on December 15, 2009, 12:18 amW.Rook...may I know where can I read the report online, if any? Coz bit curious which country NHC that they used, coz although I agreed that NHC overall a good car, but, somehow, due to our NHC is CKD, the assembling part sometime I found bit screwed up ler.
