Anyone know where can find forte bodykit in malaysia? is it available in malaysia market alr?

for official bodykit, can get at NZ Galaxy at Kg Baru. price heard in the region of rm2.5K
yes. its available already. may take some time before other brand like "brothers" to make their own bodykit for forte

how are u so sure? SA give u B&W docs...
i want to order 2.0 also but latest SA said will be Feb. Who knows maybe can hit Mac?


i asked the SA about tinted voucher, he said none... haiyaaa...
can someone show me the sample voucher? i want to print & bring it to him...


diff people has a diff taste... for me of course 407 is more superior but i REALLY don't like it look. sampe applied to 308.
if i don't care about the look, of course i'll be end like u, buy 308...

that is the difference between pre-launch booking and current booking (he has ordered but you still not place booking yet). for pre-launch booking, the car may in the process to be brought here already. so by jan may get the car. but give max time la maybe on february (to be on safe side)

this is depending on the SA. if he cant give tint voucher then try ask for other stuff like full tank or other freebies. me got the voucher (this is not even requested by me or offered by SA before) and other stuff. but won't expose it here. just ask for something that SA can offer ya?

2.0 will be CKD-ed ? since March baru sampai

if i am KIA/NAZA, i will say CKD
but if i am SA/dealer, i will say CBU

same like first batch, we got the CBU but KIA/NAZA say its CKD
for first batch 2.0 most likely CBU.

but being CBU or CKD does not make any difference if NAZA assemble them here.
just wish/pray that the CKD unit will be like previous bestari 206 ya? Only assemble tyre and put the naza logo only

Juat back from holiday for 2 days in A Famosa & Seremban and bring my car jalan-jalan. So now the car is super messy, need to clean it out later.

Just 2 days, is already V2 and 8th page

Epo, you have taken a nice photo of my baby

hahhaha. what a coincidence..

lucky your car is so shine that's why my wife interested...
if your car full of mud, maybe she cancel...

For my case, i purchase the car from dealer, the SA promise a rm300 rebate for the tinted and she called the tint SA to the office to discuss with me, also a lady .so the rm300 is directly reduct from the price. So i am make sure i get the rm300 rebate + the special discount for the tint as well.

Autoworld Review

read review above & thinking to downgrade the rim to 16". is it a good choice?

maybe the tyre pressure was not adjusted properly when they test drove the car.
my car's tyre pressure was >330 (for all the wheels) when i took the car out from stock yard last thursday.

now that the pressure is down to 220, ride is still firm, but acceptable

the review did with stockyard tyre pressure at 340kpa. thats why the ride is crashy and wobbly.

you can downgrade but its advisable to do so after the warranty ended. coz if anything happened the warranty will void for tyre, suspension, etc.
or u can keep the 17" and use it for warranty claim.

with 16" you could get slight fc improvement. but loss in other advantages such as stability and grip

now that we've gotten our car, fingers crossed we'll get good support from the service centers

I'm doing so too in previous car because was told by car mechanic friend that is the correct way to break in. If not, the car can't show its true power in future ANYMORE.
After break in, it did feel better power and was use it for 5 years with no problem in engine. well, maybe just my case, you could try if you dare.

planning to go kinrara or jln tandang one... cause both are nearer to my house compared to the one in puchong.
fortelover did hers in jln tandang, 230, ok leh.

i hope we can bring our own stuff (engine oil etc) but it's not allowed.

bc last few days, now alreadi V2 8 pages. 1st TT oso over, saw 1 white forte in puchong yesterday.

done my 1st service in puchong branch cost me RM228.20, free cash wash and vacumm, but i asked not to wash my car just water spray cos just "glow", also ask to check the alignment like fortelover tend to move to left and its free.

Wah! RM 228.20 is quite expensive!

Got so cheap meh.. RM130k is the best i found ( only left with premium models )

I still wanna the 2.0SX due to the price.. and with the extra $$ saved.. I can probably send the car for sound proofing to get a more decent / quiet cabin sound. .. no doubt, after riding in the conti.. the Forte suddenly became obvious on some areas... but the Forte still very good compared to some other cars especially at this price for the package.

I need a car by Feb end and booked the White / Bright Silver 2.0sx in November.. thinking should be no problem on getting it.. hopes i can still maintain my guts and not shifting... having said that.. now CFO has different comment after I got her to test out all 3 cars ( previously, she only sat at the back seat as passengers while I am behind the wheel but yesterday.. it was the other way round.. she tested all cars as driver and I am he passenger at the back )

Added on December 20, 2009, 11:31 amThis happened to be the main reason why we are considering other cars beside the long uncertain waiting time. Was previously thought it might be due to the 17" tires as someone said we probably not used to a 17" wheel... hence we went testing with all 3 rides on with the 17" wheel in our consideration list. There are still some amount of road / tyres noise in the 308 but in comparison to Forte, it is not that much. The nosiest cabin sound on the road we tested ( one of the small road in the industrial area beside Juru Autocity with many uneven road... which reassembled majority of the road in Malaysia )
