Calling for bro izputra!!!!!!!

someone commented in the FB myforte forum that the 2.0 comes with sunroof and similar to that of cerato forte in singapore.

Your comments pls since i remember reading that u saw the 2.0 live in Pavilion.

Thanks.

Nope..confirmed no sunroof for 2.0 as i saw at the Pavilion. If true got sunroof..it's a bonus & worth the waiting thumbup.gif

Hi..I'm the new forte member here..
I had booked my forte on 11th Dec and heard that from my SA I will get my car within these two weeks (hope it's true).
Some questions would like to ask about the loan interest rate. The loan I got from public bank is 2.89% but read from this forum there are some members got 2.75% is it true? what bank is that? and the loan amount?

I'm looking forward to you favorable reply.  Cheers! smile.gif
*
2.89% for how many years? Yours Forte 1.6 or 2.0?

Looks like Forte is very very strongly built.. Air bags are working and front crumple zones are pretty nicely done.

Accident withe New OTR Forte in China.. so strong until the bus on taking corner flipped and Forte's Driver only minor facial injury which may caused by Airbag deployment .

Original Story and Picture Source is from http://club.autohome.com.cn/bbs/thread-c-813-5429384-1.html

Picuser posted image

For those that do not read mandarin, the coverage was saying the Bus ran over the red turning traffic light at high speed.. in collision with an upcoming Forte at pretty high speed as well..

Hopes it wasn't due to Forte couldn't brake on time / lost control and had to hit the bus / failed to avoid collision.  sweat.gif

I'm waiting for that also..bbear, try your best to stay with us till mid/end January ok. After that, if still no concrete news, we will cancel 2gether. & i have to agree with u that..after all the hassle & frustrations, my love for Forte is still strong

p/s : I believe most will be patiently waiting for their car if Naza-Kia can provides clear date to expect which the same information to be disclose to all Branches / Dealers / Careline operators and not you ask 10 different branches SA + Careline operator + service managers + sale managers.. each will give you one personal made up story thinking you are just another idiot who will buy their stories.
*
Yupp..i will definitely wait if they can provide me clear date to expect the delivery of my car. I hate to blindly wait for it. C'mon NAZA, for pre-launch bookers like me & some of us here, dont tell me that i/we have to wait for 3-6 month. I even booked the 2.0 without seeing it first (not to say test driving it!) & put so much faith on NAZA & Forte. I can accept if u (NAZA) give me confirmation that i will surely receive my car e.g. this month, next month or whatever month.

Why NAZA did not bring both the 1.6 & 2.0 here first & then launch it in the first place? Brought in here 1.6 only, but launched it with 2.0 which is not available even for test drive (only got 1 R&D 2.0 unit on show at the launching event)..what a poor planning i must say. & pity us (2.0 buyers especially) who have to wait for their car cluelessly as a result of poor planning by NAZA. In conclusion, excellent product (Forte) but poor planning, scheduling & forecasting by its official distributor (NAZA-KIA) doh.gif

BTW, to all 2.0 buyers, if the unit that you get is without Cruise Control, please dont be surprised or angry cos its not in the specs and i believe the one at pavilion is the version for Korea or other country. How could the marketing team missed out the Cruise Control, which is an extra feature to kill the T & H  hmm.gif ... BTW, a photo in Forte.my (Ride & Handling) even shows the car with sharkfin antenna  rclxub.gif
*
2.0 unit at the launching event got cruise control. I dont think NAZA will deliver the 2.0 with less specs than what they have shown to us at the event. If 2.0 comes with more specs (e.g sunroof, side mirror auto-fold) then it is acceptable & consider it as a bonus & waiting appreciation for their customers. BTW, a photo in www.forte.my (Interior) also shows the side mirror auto-fold switch (on top of the side-mirror adjustment dial) whistling.gif & Zubinkhan also mentioned that someone has posted in MyForte Facebook regarding the sunroof. That guy claimed that he got the Forte training manual used to train NAZA-KIA SA & personnel at Gurun Plant about Forte. The manual stated that 2.0 Forte also got sunroof. If true..WOWWW!!! but to be fair, 2.0 got no sunroof as i saw at the launching event..& i dont expect that. For me..i need cruise control so much.

Just back from Kia Motor at Auto City Juru Penang, the SA double confirmed next batch delvery is 2.0SX either by 15th Jan or early of Feb, b4 CNY. SA added those who have ordered their 2.0SX in 2009 sure will get the car. Gurun's Forte production is running for 1.6  so CBU for 1.6 is going to end soon.
