there will be one problem for us.. if you share your ride with wifey/hubby, then the remote key in your pocket, you'll tend to forgot that the key is with you.. your wifey/hubby will just drive the car without remember about the key (after change driver)..

hehe.. will be hassle if the above scenario happen to you guys.. so please remember ya..

I believe that the moment the driver(with the key) steps out of the vehicle, there will be a warning in the multi-info display saying that the key is out of the vehicle. Even though the car can still run, when you look at the MID, you will see the warning. And hopefully the replacement driver will look at the MID before driving off.

just call my SA....the car has arrived here, white, titanum silver, silver, 3 black...has to add rm1000 becoz each car has tinted with aircool...WTF

how to know it branch SA or dealer??? hehe

Lai khim automobile Sdn. Bhd.
Kulim Branch...
thank phelix

If that the case, this guys can just hold anyone for ransom laaa

HUH? holy-molly! this is serious crap man.
how can they do this and force the buyer to pay extra for something which wasn't agreed?
so..how lah?
u never screw them..left, right n centre!?

Call Careline n report this dealer of yours, man!
Then post on Facebook Kia Malaysia so that this dealer gets what they bloody deserve.
Hopefully Naza will take action against them..
If they don't then maybe future customers will know their dirty tactics!

real vkool won't get at this price... it confirm is con job....
julz,

another mission'impossible' for you....
what is the top speed u can reach??

During the test drive the SA told me, even if the engine is running, if the remote is exceeded a distance, the engine will off by itself. When i asked him to show me, he said have to walk very far to proof it so in the end, i did not see that function.

If this not the case as being mentioned by the SA ?

i'll upset you more!!
forte don't have car alarm.

in SG have aftermarket like this one.. wonder kia can install for us without void warranty or not.. 

I want forte to auto transform into a Bumblebee that can protect me when I'm in danger
Just kidding.

Seriously, I have a question regarding KIA Forte.

Will Naza reduce the current price of KIA Forte when it is locally manufactured(CKD)? 

CONGRATULATIONS, Fortelover!!!
Will you be the 1st lady Forte owner?
Hahaha...

no. 2 is the tricky part... because the car is CBU, it has to go to puspakom and get the K1 from Naza HQ before the car can get registered at JPJ.
and because it's unofficial, can't rant at KM FB cause they will tell u no CBU units around. i still can't believe they haven't get this part done ya know... even after launching the car for nearly 2 weeks

it takes sacrifices, dude!
that's why i had to forgo White, Red n Metal Bronze n settle for Titanium Silver
but...i would say..it's a great colour after all.
my SA told me that i won't regret the colour.
and..i don'T!

Choosing color is all about personal preferences. If u ask me, I would say all colors suits this car pretty good.
For your info, I chose Metal Bronze.. It is unique cause very small number of people choose this color. haha

Added on December 10, 2009, 9:02 amAll of us know Julz is the first to collect his Forte...1.6SX
Next, we are looking forward to know who is the number one to get FORTE 2.0sx .

bro.. can post your car with Titanium Silver? Wana see how's the color looks like, not able to see from the show room i went.

Anyone applied loan from PBB??
The SA help me to submit the document and received the PBB call on next day and said ok lo... That time was 1st Dec, but until now haven't got any call from the PBB for the loan approve.

Getting my car today, will go to Rawang to collect my car in the afternoon. Titanium silver same like julz. titarium please amend my car color in front page.

Congrats Fortelover for getting her white forte.

Guys,

I know that most of you are happy that I got my car early while you are still waiting for yours..BUT, one or two might be envious to the extent of  complaining to your Branch that I got my car early and with DISCOUNTS??? What discount?

FYI, all my good SA is giving me is good service and he negotiated a 40-50% discount deal with Tintmaster for my car! Tint is worth RM2000 so less 40% my discount is RM800 n IF less 50% my discount is RM1000. Now, that's the discount-lah. And, i've not even decided whether to use Tintmaster or not? If you want this discount..I give you-lah if I am not taking it!

So, c'mon..if your SA gives you crap reasons for you not getting your car, please-lah don't give this sort of excuses if you wanna pull out from your booking and get my good SA into trouble! Have you ever put into consideration whether your inconsiderate action might affect others?

p/s: I wonder whether this Forum is for sharing good stuffs and info with fellow Forumers or it'll probably get people into trouble? Guess I might have to keep the tinting discount or whatever future goodies to myself and a few of you trusted brothers (& sister) privately, rather than post it out loud.

phelix, no problem for the TT. I am now considering for getting the Forte... still considering.. haha

If I decided to get the Forte, i might as well need your help to get one set of the emblem too...  

My SA show me the catalog and price list for the accessories for Forte 2 days before, if i remember correctly the price as

Bodykit - RM2500
Door visor - RM150
boot organiser - RM??
Portable GPS - RM1600 (crazy price)
Engine bay cover insulator - RM250
and few more which i forget....

Thanks for your words of support, perfect7g and bomberman!
Cheers!

Just met my SA, a very pretty young lady. She said my number plate already in hand JLX XXXX. Will get the car the latest next Monday/Tuesday ! 
The whole process take <2weeks !

jz book a bright silver 1.6sx here... 

I have book 1.6 sx titanium silver. 
just get my loan approved yesterday. don't know when only i can get my car

my SA told me the alarm button just to make the car got sound to scare theif away. But you have to click yourself.
No alarm system is in all Forte. I have post question to ask for it installation price in FB.

a question, to submit tender for plate no., do we need d car to be readily available? coz my SA juz called asking what no. to tender, i tot need car detail 1st then can tender no?

2 to 3 months, but gotta have valid reasons....
this is what the lady told me when i & Phelix went to JPJ to get my number plate...

thanks for the info.. now WTH till wat number already ho?! the jpj website under maintainance so i cant c... planning to get 3-numbered car plate.. maybe WTJ or WTK...

saw a kia forte on my way to work this morning along kesas highway..
from behind afar, it looks like audi a4 ...

I have collected my Forte 1.6SX Clear White today!   

Congratulation to all the 3 new babe Forte OTR....
I also hope can get the car before Jan 2010...
Really need to use the car on Jan onwards...If not, need to pickup my gf everyday at Midvalley liao lo...

well if wat u ranted about them is true...then u shouldn't be worried about it if it's the truth. the question is : do u have the actual proof that they're forcing customers to top up RM1k becos of the tint? any black and white? photos etc?

btw, for those who plan to change naza logo to King Loong or Kia logo, will it void the warranty of the car?

me too
sold my ride earlier this week and now borrowing sis's car....tensen laa
