cps 125, forte 126 rite?

Forte FTW....already doing very well in singapore and really really value for $$$$. puts to shame T & H on what can be offered at such a price point.

Forte ncap - 5stars
proton persona ncap - no stars rite?

Kia has far exceeded Proton in any segment. The Americans and Sg-ians gave them a chance, i think msians know how to choose.

I hate to say this, but use the pinned thread please.

bro, wer u come out wit persona ? ppl comparing Latio and Vios ?

but malaysians still have ww2 mentality..
still conquered by japanese...

now its korean invading our country

kekeke

You better book Forte now coz it's still CBU, hopefully...

If i got the money, 100% i'll choose Forte even though im anti Naza / Korean cars before...Why compare Forte to Vios / City..it should be compared against Civic / Altis

= =" where still have CBU.
SA said the first day already over 1k booking.

Power about the same, torque wise Forte's Gamma 1.6 engine slightly better.

CPS' figure you got there is HP, Forte's figure there is PS. So you got a wrong comparison.

kia forte.. ts, really u should make a poll..

hahha. coz we already pre-book before launching.. of coz over 1k already
do you research first TS before commit to any car.

ya. forte less HP but more Torque.

there already one poll before.. go figure

the gamma engine is for 2.0L, no?

gamma for 1.6, 2.0 is thetaII

Spec and style wise, Forte.

Latio interior feels bigger, but then....spec wise, a bit bare in my opinion.

Kia Forte

Good overall car.
Value for money.
Nice ride.
Smooth Engine.

The thing with KIA is that when it is new,it is good.But once it starts to age like say maybe 2 years down the road,you can never guess what is gonna happen.Many things many pop up .You will never know until u own one.

Nissan Latio

Damn smooth engine
Power ok ok lah
Very comfortable
Spacious and reliable


Toyota Vios

Damn blardy good fuel economy.Even if you rev the engine alot and drive like a maniac,it will still give u damn good FC.
Seats might be a bit uncomfortable depending on ur butt size.
Ride is excellent.
Pickup is great thanks to VVTI.


So in the end TS,depends on what brand u actually want to throw your money at.Of course Jap brands will give u reliability and no worries 5 years down the road.

If you want to be a brave person,get the FORTE.But dont blame anybody if the car gives problems later on.

I dun understand why buying Forte need to be a Brave Person??
No one will know how many years the cars can served us in good condition... U darn to said the T and H wont give u the problem after 3 years??
My friend received quotation from H brand and it cause RM23k for the gear box... that car just City... ( This is the common issue for the City 2003-2005)
This is the H service centre fault, but the H brand don't wan to replace the gb FOC due to after 3 years warranty... then wat to do??
Lets focus the servicing part, Who darn to say the H and T brand servicing is cheap?
Maybe the price consider is CHEAP for the owner, but it still depends on how u judge the car.

erm, so basically after 2005 the gear box is quite fine? 23k is a darm big number=.='', dun wan regret if buy it. as my parents very hate kia haiz i have no choice, if no i sure go for forte but not my money so i have no choice=.=(they r very rigid!) they call me decide only toyota vios or honda city, just go to the showhouse and compare this 2 feel like i have more chance going for honda city XD. But abt the gear box issue izit still common in now(after 2005)?


thanks guys for the responed

that gear box prob is for 7 speed one right?
according to Kia SA, that city gearbox created based on auto gearbox (then add shiftronic) then prone to problem.
for forte, the gearbox created based on manual gearbox (then add shiftronic). 2nd shift damn long you can achieve 100KM ++ before redline, and the RPM is 6K before redline.

so, up to everybody. haha
recent city should be okay. need to wait 2 or 3 years more before we can know any problem.

no srsly, press every part of the kia and it gives better feel than the vios and city
