Guys..very soon we'll have a special guest among us.
He is none other than Mr Sierra Glow himself..Mr Choong.
Any questions, please feel free to ask!

Mr Choong, if you read this, Welcome to the Forte Club thread!

ya... if really around that price.... worth to try....


brother.... i called up the careline... the careline ppl said i should get the car by jan....

what a great news!!!!

but he didnt mentioned by which week....

2.0 wo.... JAN??

do you guys seriously think about the sound-proofing thing???
perhaps we can arrange for group purchase for soundproof as well??

which hill are you talk about? mind sharing.. maybe we go and try too.. ehhehhee..  Ok. Time to mod Forte for better power

the price hike is really a bad news for me...

hopefully the car will be delayed till end of February..can save some cash by that time... 
really good if the passengers behind can fell asleep...could be serious problem if the driver fell asleep as well..

anyone consider the resale value for forte?

all owners & potential owners had put aside resell value  and most of us here intend to drive the car more than 5 years at least

Very worry now...since some of the owner already complain on the high temp on that car .....
Scare that it is no a reliable car

Added on December 24, 2009, 11:44 pmbooked d car for 1k ....and loan appoved 3.0%
but the sales ppl ask me to give full down payment liao ...
but i prefer to pay only when 1-2 weeks my car arrive..or once my car arrive..
is it possible to do that?

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!

yesterday, i had a flat tire on my current car. when fixing it, i told the mechanic that just repairs it and I don't want to change tire ( my tires are 3 years + old .. actually should change already ) as i want to change car already.

The uncle asked me what car I am changing to.. and I told him Korean car.. immediately, the uncle face changed and started to educated me never buy a Korean car.. I will regret this regret that.. all the "usual bad things about Korean cars" came out..

I tried to convince him this is a new car.. new technology.. new era but then i gave up educating him.. and remain silence.

Hopes in near future.. Mechanics will change perception about Korean cars.. and in returns recommending their customers to get a Korean car when someone asking them for suggestions.  We put high hope on this Forte.. and hopes it does not let us down. Some time still worry that I put the wrong bet.

i used to have 1 fineline scratch, but after the 'glow' session, it's gone.. not sure what Mr. Choong did to it though since i wasnt around during the work done

still waiting for my white forte, it's should get the car yesterday but end up need to wait till next monday

my car arrival at showroom on 15/Dec, but no AP, wait till yesterday AP arrival, and send to puspakom, the result are out at 4.40pm which JPJ already close......   

same issue as mine. My dealer need to drive to KL to collect my AP. Collect the car after 1 week in the show room.

I have the photocopy of following when collected my car :
1) Perakuan Pendaftaran Kenderaan
2) Puspakom "cert"
3) AP (2pcs)

Heard from SA and frens, AP is important when want to sell the car in future. Valid for all CBU vehicles.

Yes, u need to have the AP cos ur Forte is a 'kereta import baru' as stated on JPJ geran.
If u plan to sale/trade in a 'kereta import baru' in future, u have to produce the AP.

Added on December 26, 2009, 12:46 amA trip on East Coast Expressway:
237.5km used up 16.71L.
So, FC is 14.21km/L (or 7.03L/100km) by manual calculation.

yup. no AP cert cannot trade in/sell car. or else pakai sampai mati.
if you still insist to sell the car with no AP, consider kereta curi

thats what my SA told me.

Congratulation on the good news.. I am wondering.. with each of this "new car is avaiable" for delivery.. are they from the first batch's left overs or there are all new out of the oven car from car production or ports ?

I thought all SA said only 1.6EX is not fully sold where 1.6SX are gone.

nice, considering this car sometime in the near future.

btw, one utama jan 14-17 will have a forte roadshow.
so perhaps can consider it there too, get some newbies introduced etc

Just wrote my cancellation letter... yet to sign and pass it to the SA... Its really tough to proceed with that decision..

no, in fact the lady in office are correct. if according to international ranking.... car size like honda civic, Forte are consider small sedan car. even car like honda accord and camry just suit as mid size car category.    so don't be dissapoint when ppl saying our car is small....

Should i change my booking to 2.0???

If you can pay the different and don't mind waiting.. why not ? The paper specs on the Engine performance is pretty good.

btw.. collect my 1.6SX black.. muahahaa..
and tinted today.. cost me only RM600 with 15 years warranty..
black tint... looks good on my 1.6SX black... muahahha

I would prefer the original KIA logo..just like the steering 1..
So anyone here order..
2 KIA emblem ( front and rear )
4 wheel cap ( KIA )

wah! so envy. fresh graduate oledy afford RM80k++ car. When i was fresh graduate i still riding motorbike...

Guys,
Actually in in dilemma choosing the Forte Color..

White - very nice n sporty ..but in long run it could not that shining since it is a colid color.
Bright Silver - common color ...easy to take k ...but look like too common.
Titanium Silver - also a common color, it is a grey but not dark enuf..
Metal Bronze..- worry a little bit uncle..im only 27 years

Black n Red - not really into it..

Guys,
pls give some opinion to me ...

BTW, no. 2 is nice.
and, do we really need to have lowyat.net?
not everyone in MyFORTE Facebook are members of LYN.
just my 2 sens.
