was asked to pay before so that can get car faster, but i ended up didn't pay at all.
we SHOULD NOT be paying these things. 

Collecting my car now.yay 

My SA told me not mod ur electrical component cause it void warranty.

Aha... this is the first time someone understand what I am talking about.. Yup.. the Empty barrel rolling sound.. picking up by the 17" wheels and sort of "amplified into the back seating area... a bit nuisance and fatigue hearing it even just of the short test drive

I am driving a year 99 Iswara which is noisy also but some how the one in Forte made me feeling fatigue and its only happen at certain speeds with certain road surface.

just came back from Peugeot showroom.. the 308 THP with also 17" wheels.. even lower profile does not has that kind of noisy road noise travel into the interior.

today goes to pasar malam..seem someone at my car..."lay" & "hug" the car...i feel like want to slap him me myself don't lean at my car
"info" button???where?will check at manual again...

shamsul.. you can check the temp at your odometer panel. toggle the "info" button.

hello all.. i've just came back from 1st service at puchong.. overall experience so so only.. they need 3 times align and test drive my car. but i still feel the prob has not been resolved yet.

about the performance. i dunno la.. likes never change the oil.. is it normal? kinda heavy. just hope they really change the engine oil..

bro, what kind of prob?
ur FC reading didn't improve after service? maybe drive for a few more days and see..

Recommended tyre pressure is 220kpa front and back. If really want a more quite ride, do 200kpa Front and Back, this will bring down the noise and ride is not that firm. Cabin noise also depends on the road that you are driving on.

When I took my ride, the tyre pressure is 300 - 330kpa (different tyre different kpa), road noise was obvious and ride is firm (bumpy). I adjust it to recommended 220kpn front and back, the road noise and ride tone down quite a lot.

So in your test drive maybe you want to be more 'adventures' go to petrol station and try different pressure. And make sure it is at least at recommended kpa, I won't be surprise that some test drive car, the tyre pressure is way above 220kpa or 300kpa!

Just got my Forte (titanium silver) today and Merry Xmas to all     

hmmm.. by the way my windscreen got "dirt". dunno whether it is a scratch or really just a dirt. didn't notice when collect the car but it still remain even after wash the car. will upload pics later if the dirt is really scratch.. 

thats on your car body paint right? this is on my windscreen. need to check again today. hopefully its just some kind of gum.

Hello, I have paid DP for my 2.0 SX.. white..
wanna ask, my SA said that I have to go to Rawang with him later when car is ready for pick up.. he said if wants him to bring to showroom.. must sign authorisation letter.. any u guys that the SA drive to showroom sign the letter? or any of u guys go to rawang n pickup?

I read a post in FB, saying that we need to ask for the photostat copy of our car AP when collecting our car.
Is that true? If I just keep quiet, will the SA give me the AP of my car ? or.. do I need to ask for it?
Why do we need to keep a copy of AP?

Are we suppose to get the original copy for these docs? or photocopy will be fine?

Hi guys I love this car !!!! I gotta feeling this car is goonna be a good car 2x, This cars gonnna be a good good car wohooooooo 
But I got four questions to ask the experts 

1. Hows the fuel consumption for this car ??/ Issit similar to the kia spectra ??
2. After the 2 years/100000km warranty is over? anywhere good to send the car for repairs ? Because a lot of workshops don't like to repair KIA cars ( apparently the engine is too big and there are a lot of electronics involved)
3. How expensive is the spare parts compared to Toyota/Honda
4. Are there companies out there who make clone spare parts for this model (cheaper since NAZA mark up all part price) 

Thanks a lot phelix for d infos. if d Koup will be launch in 2010, then i guess i better wait a bit. Thanks again bro, will definitely order the emblem from u in future
Nothing to envy bro, i know few fellas buying Lancer GT and City 2010 for their new car, fresh graduates also like me Im more than happy and grateful that i can buy something i can afford
im married too, and surprisingly it was my wife who first fell in love with this Forte and want it badly. apa lagi? bini yang kasi green-light huhuhu

for top speed & rpm readings...

okey summary from my ride. test at east coast highway
100 ~ 110KM/H @ 3K RPM
130 ~ 140KM/H @ 3.5K RPM
150KM/H @ 4K RPM
160KM/H @ 4.2 ~ 4.3K RPM

don't dare to push the limit coz raining/speed trap/not enough straight line.

Guys,
the white color forte is a solid or metallic color?

How much is Sierra Glow?
