yah 2 Forte member withour forte unofficial TT at Melaka .... hahahah

will take some time to open the plastic..hehe

hehe..unique coz here i only black...but not for so long
when park at my house i noticed forte so big..."wow...big as a civic"

PLEASE RESELL TO ME? AND HELP FOR POST TO PENANG...OK?

Dunno what to post anymore in this forum coz' nothing new on the 2.0sx.
Yup ... appropriate enough the tagline for forte is 'leaving me speechLESS' and clueLESS. What to do .. still want the keyLESS entry, effortLESS cruise control, couldn't care LESS leather-seats and no LESS than 145-155 hp.

Hopefully can post again in LESS than the 120 days of my waiting period.
One thing for sure, forte's price then wouldn't be LESS than it is today.

Going to test-drive again this weekend and if everything turns ok, will pay deposit and book for a 1.6SX (initially wanted the 2.0, but have a WorldWar with my family about getting a car near to 100k.. with my current financial state.. of coz i can afford it but they want me to save more ).

Any possibility to get the car by CNY if i book this month?

First time fill in petrol mah, try out the RON97, subsequently i will use RON95. See any diff in terms of power.My fren told me his city feels slightly less power when use RON95.

sorry julian, i'll be at ipoh/taiping this weekend.

bro phelix, is it possible to post the emblem? i'll bank in the $$$ to you. let me know ya

congrats shamsul!!

I suggested TT at big mall such as mid valley, times squre, sunway, one U or IOI mall, easy to find. >.<

nope, its not possible... cause the cc of the car is different.
you only able to take the 1.6 litre and apply the highest end model loan while u get the lowest end model, just like proton.
u apply highline loan, den u take medium line... something like that

wahhhh....plastic cover also still dun want to open yet...ahahahahahha....

congratz on the owners here...I'm raring to test drive the 2.0 one , hopefully soon...
still waiting for Chevrolet Cruze to be here and check the difference before I buy....

hihihihihi...

Hi Shamsul, u are also LIVERPOOL fans !

1.6 SX?

Maybe it's the angle and the lighting but the Schreyer grill looks like it's not chrome

More pics please

I test drove the 1.6 SX yesterday for a while. Some notes:

1) Push-button start rocks!
2) Demister is labelled clearly. No guessing which is for rear and front!
3) Auto aircon is amazing!
4) Steering wheel audio control and audio ROCKS! I had fun switching channels, muting it, etc. Only thing is I didn't bring one of my favourite CD's to play.
5) Steering was very light and easy. Steering wheel diameter is so small and sporty, reminds me of Golf GTi!
6) Shifter felt nice, very ergonomic design
7) Pedals were sporty but a bit too shiny. I would prefer drilled hole aluminium for brake and rough surface for the throttle.
8) Rear view window was quite low. Felt like I was driving some sort of sportscar
9) Auto headlights and auto darkening rear view mirror is a plus
10) Safety - dual airbags and ESC. Not bad at all.

Ride was firm/sporty but not crashy. I was told it was set at exactly 220 kPA.

where is clear white owner ? pls post pic with some body kit... hehehe

No body kit available for Malaysia market yet , and no one have install any . you can refer to sg forum for bodykit

Why mess up the aerodynamics (which are better than Civics) with a bodykit?

many people have 'personal' experiences of difference in power with different ron rated fuels.......that is likely very much a placebo effect........actual power tests in lab conditions shows no significant difference between ron ratings......for ordinary low ron rated engines......

however for finely tuned engines, with high ron ratings, there will be a downgrading of the tuning if a lower ron rated fuel is used (the ecu will adjust automatically when it sense knocking), and a perceivable lower power........we are talking bmw's and the likes here........

thanks bro ...but what you say abt people negative comment on kia's fuel efficiency and resale price?

I say the prices are NOT GOING DOWN from now on. The fuel efficiency is up to par with Japanese and the design is by the reknowned Audi/VW designer Peter Schreyer. Can't argue with that.

Qualitywise its on par with global quality levels and is doing well in North America, and the safety is top notch.

Forte is a car for DISCERNING buyers who do a lot of research. Its the THINKING person's car.
