Same here, my SA said spicy red are available, only then I made quick down payment. Coz I was also told that allocation of car not based on booking, its based on booking + loan approval + down payment. If not mistaken booking only put you in waiting list... those that have done all three mentioned item, will only be allocated with car.. is that the reason why your SA keep on asking you to pay up?

that is personal loan.. is not hired purchase....
different story...
and u have to have very high income to get 80k loan.

opss.. wrong quote

Well for the cabin noise I didn't hear it all probably I am driving the old saga - already full of noise.

But my CFO did hear about the noise when she is sitting at the back seat, and this was only heard during my 2nd test drive. But the noise is negligible as what she say .

To me probably the upgrade difference is huge so I was numb towards such noise



Julz - nice FC


-= bit busy now days so will be commenting less often=-

VERY cool!!

Is not really personal loan.. it is a valid hired purchase deal just like what Tan Chong Motor is offering their 1.99%.. i.e. the loan is from Tan Chong. For my case.. the Loan is from the company i worked for.

- Get quotation from Dealer
- Submit loan application, the panel will review and let know approve or disapprove
- Company to prepare under-taking notification to the Dealer
- Dealer to submit allocated Chassis & Engine no when available
- Company's panel to take cares of the E-Hak Milik with JPJ and info again returns to Dealer
- Dealer to process car's registration at JPJ.
- Insurance can only be done with company's identified company.

a lengthy process to get the 1.56%

high paid ??? err.. I don't think I am getting high paid lah.. if not.. don't have to think too much on getting car.

hi, Julz.

sorry, i didnt online for 2 days. now only i go through all the pages i miss out. u need the emblem now?? i can swap with u 1st since my forte not arrive yet...

i stay at port klang, i can meet u around bukit tinggi klang area if you want to take the emblem from me 1st and replace back to me once phelix got it.

i believe u have my H/P no, rite?? please sms me for further arrangement.

By the way... you guys should be feeling proud as I am comparing the Forte 2.0SX with Nissan Selphy, Mazda 3 2.0L and Peugeot 407. Not like some that comparing it with Toyota's Vios, Honda's City and Nissan Latio.

bbear yeah it's actually a C-Segment car (Corolla/Civic/Mazda3). 407 is a D-Segment car. Their C-Segment is the 308. Vios and City are more like B-Segment. Latio ... I think it's a C-Segment car but it seems like a B/C in between kind of car.

Can someone shares if the car's back seats are capable of ISOFIX mount ? Don't want to ask the SA since I doubt they knew what is it.

Hey guys,

I have placed my booking of forte 1.6SX (metal bronze) on 9th Nov 2009 in Johor Bahru and I have been told that I was the first customer for the forte in that branch
and they promised to me that I should be able to get my car during Dec.

However, today the manager informed me that METAL BRONZE will not be allocated for the first batch production in Johor Branches.
They asked me 2 wait for 2nd Batch with unknown allocation date.


I'm really pissed off and unsatisfied with the given reply. Can you guys help me on this?

P/s:
1.I have done my loan personally as well as car plate no registration on 30 Nov 2009 and yet the car no will be expired on 30th Dec 2009.
2.I have just lodged a complaint ticket to the Customer Services to escalate this matter to the higher management.

This is good, like it, sounds like some chemical name..

don't think so... the only car with ISOFIX that i know of is suzuki sx4

Call Naza Kia careline and tell them the same story you told us, and tell them that you are furious about it. Careline number is 1800-888-542 (if not mistaken).

confirm dun have, by Kia Msia :-/
Hav to use seatbelt to install child seat... KM also gave this site for more info -> http://www.edmunds.com/advice/womenfamilie...81/article.html

quite sad to see how little malaysians (and msian gov) care about protecting our little loved ones...

Good Explain !!! Think want to add soundproof on tyrewall ....

I think you can look into Dynamat Extreme as used in Discovery's RIDES on high end project cars. Don't use anything less than this.

about 3week more to wait...huhu

Thanks for the information and links. btw, another 2 cars that have ISOFIX within my budget is 308 and 407

I believe you mean Gamma, rather than GEMA. The GEMA refers to the engine collaboration project between Chrysler, Mitsubishi, and Hyundai; where the ThetaII is under.

MILF... NSFW I suppose, drive that to work and your colleagues will think you're sick.

Agreed. The large rims compromises the comfort of the ride and allows more jolts into the cabin, but during my test drive I found that the noise level isn't any more than a Civic. Kia has done wonders with the noise reduction in the Forte.

My personal experience with large rims was in a CLK, but one can't compare a Mercedes to a Kia

There's no need to feel proud at all, since the Forte is technically a C-segment. The only reason people are comparing it to Citys and Vioses is because of the price tag.

Initially it was surprising that Naza seems to "lower" the segment of the Forte in Malaysian markets, but now it makes absolute sense. People who are able to afford Civics will probably still scoff at Korean makes without even thinking, so there's no point for Naza to aim for the C-segment market. What they did was to offer it at a cheaper price so that people who are considering B segments would realise that the Forte is a much better choice, which would eventually alter the mindset of worshipping H&T.

Naza is doing what Hyundai has done in Australia with the i30. Cheaper, but on par if not better quality cars.

Latio has B segment dimensions but a C segment interior capacity. Over here in Australia there's no C segment for Nissan (ie Slyphy), it jumps straight from Latio (Tiida) to the Cefiro (Maxima).
