btw i saw the full spec just now include start button hahaha!

after confirming 2.0sx has the cruise control..
it seems that 2.0sx is worth the bucks...

why u saw me meh ?

my question is, if the remote is with you, and the car jacker drove the car away, will the car stop? haha, just thinking only la.
coz tested the remote put in the boot and close the boot it will not be able to close one, it will reopen by itself.

really will stop in 30secs? wow then if you remote batt die off also stop in 30sec??
the boot will re-open as I tested it myself wor.

i already pm my banker details to whoever ask from me.... if really he cannot give u guys 3.1%, i also cannot do anything.....
just pm me if any of u need the contact....

Added on November 28, 2009, 6:35 pmmy latest found out for our beloved Forte, this must be read by those have kids /baby

- while we driving, accidentally by pressing once on the Start Button = will not off our engine, nothing happen.

- if you accidentally press twice continusoly, it will cut off our engine immediately... this will be very danger for us... as when engine off, our steering turning off, brake off...everything off which will lead to accident.... Please be more cautious when u bring along kids / baby...make sure they won't go and press the button twice, if not we will be in big trouble....

= purposely go to test drive the FOrte just now after i think off about this problem - will the engine off while i'm driving and accidentally press the Start Button? My SA even never thought about this....
Just to share this with everyone as our cool Start button just located at our lefthand side which passenger at front can easily reach the button....

Really appreciate for this info bcoz my 1 year old son always press all the button during his seat in front with mom. I need to plan for other method to cover the start button during he around

Hey guys. . I tested this car today. The engine was smooth . Decided to booking next week coz the SA couldn't confirmed the trade-in price for my current spectra today. Btw, did you guys having some discount or free gifts from ur SA??? 

As I said before, my booking fee's official receipt from NAZA clearly stated my vehicle description as NAZA FORTE (CBU) 2.0 SX. I dont think NAZA has a guts to lie to their customers by delivering a CKD unit since that their own official receipt clearly mentioning that it is indeed a CBU unit.

For those who already paid the booking fee, kindly give us some feedback here whether your official receipt from NAZA clearly stated the vehicle description as a CBU unit or not?

i don't hv any official receipt...just some plain a4 paper that said i hv paid booking fee..but SA said have to wait about one month...one month or two month for me not problem...the problem here want to clear the garage...so many cark park there...my wira93 also there..want to sell only can make 4k-5k only...huhu

1st post updated with Kia forte technical information - prepare for new owners on some known issues

thanks to bomberman on this info

Tats the reason to own a toyota. Since u owned them, u can trade with with the kia without losing much . The 2nd hand value only kicks in only when u decide to sell or trade the car. Else, it serves no purpose. Hehe.     

only me spicy red

Know you booking for 1.6SX, do you ask SA about any available stock for this color for 1.6SX model bcoz my SA told me only 1.6EX got this colour and 1.6SX got special color like Metal Bronze where 1.6EX cannot get it!

DownPayment is not important compare to Financing Loan approval.
We only need to pay the D/Payment once Loan Approval and enter into their system and next to collect D/P for the car allocate and deliver.

wah2...that damm red not for SX??if can get red i will settle for black forte...huhu...this monday will ask again..
yeah..that right...me also only pay downpayment when the car hd allocated for me...

Has anyone notice that the ECU, Electronic Control unit (the brain of the car) located in the engine bay, next to the air filter? Unless I have mistaken it. I tried to ask my SA but he could not confirm it.

Having the ECU in the engine bay where its hot may cause problem to the ECU. Normally the ECU is located in the interior, some where hidden in the dashboard.

Can someone confirm this?

just wanna make sure after apply pps, with that paint will last 3-5year still look like new?
and all those "rubbish" in car paint will be easy be wash? my housing area here alot of bird and tree, sometime have alot of those tree stuff or "shit" on my car, can it be ez remove after apply pps ah?

i have poor english, i cant really understand all statement in that website, can any 1 answer this?

test drove the EX and SX over the weekend. brought my thumbdrive with more MP3s this time heheh... i heart the Forte SX!!!

EX - 15" wheels, so handling was too light, didn't really feel the 'better acceleration'.

SX - 17" wheels, handling was like a dream!!! (took a 135° corner at 90km and we all hardly budged or swayed from seats), didn't really feel the 'slower than EX acceleration'

QUESTION: does anyone know where i can see the BLACK color? called a few showrooms, asked all the SA, went down to Pavilion, no one seems to know where the black is naza... black is such a popular color... wtf mate... wtf?
