thanks bro. went to rawang together with iluvena to collect the car, but lost sight of him on the way back to kl... cause quite jam inside rawang town, and me n wife took our own sweet time to drive back to puchong via ldp

i had the same transport problem as urs for the past 2 weeks. got rid of my old car but haven't get new one, that's y kept calling SA almost everyday. wife n i work in different direction from our house... really tension everyday need to drive into kl town after work

did ur SA tell u what's the problem with ur delivery? after going through my own waiting period n judging from others' experience, i believe as long as u r allocated a car, the rest is just a matter of time... otherwise, it's really kinda like unknown waiting period.

I'm the one under the unknown status...
I haven't got any car allocated, I booked at 27 Dec... but till now still no sign..
So, now need to really make up decision whether to continue wait for the Forte or go for 308....

Can any current forte owner do a short review on the 1.6SX performance? Like acceleration (1-100, low speed acceleration, top speed, etc)

27 Dec??

I think it's Irene, a fellow fan @ KM FB....
Mine is WTF plate

my ODO meter not yet reach 200... can't really comment much. would suggest u go test drive one.
anyway based on trip back from rawang:

1. 1-100 - didn't really observe how long it took, but it went up to 110 almost effortlessly. didn't notice we were already on 110 on highway just now.
2. low speed acceleration - it's not a light car, so in stop go traffic some times really need to press the accelerator a bit.
3. tyre - a bit noisy. but i've never driven a car with 17' rims so comparison might not be spot on.
4. top speed - hehe.... highway 110 i follow 110 lo...
5. ride - 1st thing to do after coming out from stock yard was to pump petrol and reduce tyre pressure from ~340 down to 220. ride is firm, but not as bad as described by some journalists. i can accept that. not a problem.

1st tank of petrol - pumped in petronas. would have preferred my usual brand i.e. BHP but with an empty tank, no choice laa... pumped in RM 80+ of petrol. will do FC calculation after this tank.

by the way, suggest to call SA and make appointment if u plan to test drive. the puchong branch don't hav cars to test drive during weekdays.

sold means no more new order la..



but now 1 maybe available if winlose2582 want to resell it at higher price. hoho

haha.. sounds like i'm mcD... drive thru...
yeah.. some come to discussion.. should we TT tomorrow or sat? since tomorrow is holiday...
however i'll prefer saturday.. haha

I was in the same dilemma as you are. Civic or Forte ? At last I choose Forte cos there are so many features that Civic doesnt have. It felt a bit silly to pay so high for the Civic yet it doesnt have enough gadgets. A bit overpriced and overrated if you ask me. Brand wise and lookwise, Civic has its edge . Korea or Japan doesn't matter . I am a Daewoo n Samsung fan anyway. Hope that helps.

McD?? ...sat, mo mantai

Saw a spicy red Forte just now around 8pm+...WTH 5XX5. The guy must have just collected the car...the seats still wrap in plastic bag...
Argh, I'm so wanna buy this car now...

dude, this is a thread on Kia Forte.
haven't you been reading about the exitement of getting the car?
and, the disappointment on uncertaintity of when to get it?

ZubinKhan, how's the performance of the tint on your dad's car?

ssek, how's the performance of the tint on your Forte?

Frankly, I have never used it before but my friends who use it recommended to me.

PHEW..finally!
Congrats, man!
BTW, thanks for the tips on JPJ.
My wife got her desired number liao.
P/S: Not BKQ though..sigh!

i just "feel" it for 1 day, so i can only say, "oklah" !

Finally manage to get my baby get touch on Kuching road today aound 6pm today. Drive the wife around Kuching area. Pump up full tank for RON97 at Shell, cost me RM88.50. Will start tracking the fuel consumption.
Magpan, heard from my SA tat 4 Forte will reach Kuching next week, yours one of it?

ssek, oh 1st day only ... you are really the first with Wingard ... let us know how you feel next week ya


I have also posted the GB in Forte Malaysia forum to try and get as many cars as possible so that I have more bargaining power and push down the price further.

Those who are interested in the Wingard Royale GB, please PM me or add your name in the list.

heat wise not bad but breaking/hitting wise never tried
