hahaha..if it wasn't CFO, what would u have chosen?
i wanted White but can't get a firm answer from our SA.
i also thought of Red but my Home Minister don't like Red, maybe she worry may make me look 'hiao'.
So, last-last settled for Metal Bronze now since car can get earlier.

Forte 1.6 EX Rims

Hi All,

M new to this forum. Been to the showroom to check out the Forte. Looks good to me and thought of getting the Titanium Silver, but kinda worried about reliability of Korean cars. Anyone care to share their experience with Kia cars?

personally i like titanium silver, clear white and metal bronze....

1.6SX will get the car with in 2 weeks if the colour choosen is not black or red... good for you....

please share the photo once you get ur car.....

me and those 2.0 buyer will need to wait and see & pray to get the car by DEC....

i can accept tit. silver, bright silver, metal bronze and red.. haha

My choice would be Bright Silver
As I am lazy to wash the car , another thing is how ever still I need to wait till 3rd Jan (maybe end of Dec to process) because my NCD will matured another year on 3rd Jan, where the application can be made end of Dec 2009

so I can't jointhe first batch who will get the car on the 2nd week of Dec. I am expecting end of Dec OTR by first week Jan Dealer say can make it if not mistaken Julz is 1st on that dealer list where else I am 4th

Added on November 27, 2009, 11:59 pmreliability of Korean cars had been proven by our neighbor next door - so far doing well.

basically most of the car would be owners here had put a side the major let down of resell value because most of us going to use the car for more than 5 years

regarding FC our neighbor's records also had proven to be reasonable , bare in mind Gama is base on Spectra 5 engine not old spectra , Theta II is the engine similar to Mitsu Lancer 2.0

Looks wise personally I still prefer Honda City , but features & segment Forte beat it down

err, regarding the tint.. test how is the so called uv protection and tempered and tinted thingy 1st..
coz i didnt feel get burnt when i was test driving the car.. coz the weather was extremely hot tat day...

I checked the 4B11 engine found in Lancer is not exactly the same with the Theta II engine, although they share certain components. Correct me if I am wrong.

can use the key to open the door and charge then start engine wor...

what's this 2 button for?

hi, left is traction control off button, right is for dash light dimming...

oh 1 thing to highlight of the dimming switch.. it kind of shift dim with main light on meaning, if you dim during main light off..(radio / ac console wont get affected during this.. and forte got this meter light on all the time) then at main lights on it dim further... making night dimming too dim.. usually... haaa... weird programming again...
