Bro Phelix,

Hello 4te, can u help me to buy the ashbox, here is my number 012-2383871 maybe we can meet up together with Richard. Thanks.

4te, finally u have done ur tinting. for me, the rear mirror is slightly blur compare to the side. Ur rear mirror vision is same like side? But after weeks, i feel the rear mirror is not so blur oredi, maybe i already use to it???

Bro, I like Kia Forte ... but I look for CBU unit ... I don't know which branch can confirm get CBU unit only, for Bukit Tinggi, Klang branch  them cannot confirm can get the CBU and also don't know need wait how long ...

CBU ... yes I will go ahead. eat kimchi, I am more trust CBU unit.
CKD ... not, eat sushi feel better. 
NOTE:
Korea food inside Korea country eat the BBQ style food is very nice good (If you try before on Korea country, you will know) ... But inside Malaysia eat the Korea BBQ (shop open by Korea people) the food is cannot compare by the real Korea local BBQ. ... Just same like CBU and CKD ...

hmm, i closely check on ur photo again, urs much clearer then mine   urs rear and side is the same film?

Hi 4TE,

Which one you choice for the ash tray, i can't found in Forte category?
The one under Hyundai??

4te, how much is the custom cut car mat? where can get in KL? it looks nice.
door pocket, not so interested, i like holding the door handle a lot 
hmm... the ash try turn rubbish bin, quite a good idea, cos Forte doesn't come with it..

aiyo... remove lah the plastic cover on the 'seatbelt lock' (dunno what it called )

Then you are totally gone wrong on the perception of CKD kimchi. CKD for Kia is 70percent CBU and sent to Msia with about 20percent MADE in KOREA parts plus another 10percent MADE in MALAYSIA parts assembled here. Most notable is, headlights, bumper, seats,  which take up the 30percent CKD.

So you just use your brain and think for a while, worse to worse if u get a so called CKD, u will onli get ur headlight pop out, bumper fall down and seat fell off. Others are CBU so no nid to worry rite? Or you prefer a CKD sushi car, where 50percent is assembled here ?

FYI, u wan CBU better book now cuz NAZA assembly line not yet setup for Forte yet. You book now, you get your Forte late also before mid 2010 which by then the assemmbly line is on and CKD is available. How i know ? Cuz my cousin is working for NAza. So if you buy now, sure is CBU. Now you are certain is CBU d rite ? So i waiting if you will REALLY buy a Forte or just ranting around only 

Which ur Korean BBQ in malaysia is all the materials are from Malaysia plus only the person cooking it mayb is Korean if the taukeh din hire a foreigner to help cook. Totally wrong comparison la.

walau ehhhhhhhhh you beh sien one hor? keep asking CBU CBU CBU or CKD CKD CKD..... I saw ur post I also sien already, can u please stop asking such question here? Wanna get confirmation pls call the careline or check with each branches' manager laaaa
www.nazakia.com.my is the website for u to go to and source those thing out
1st batch is definitely CBU already, and according to my SA the 2nd batch is also CBU.... not sure about the next batch tho

P/S: dont have faith on the car? dont buy laa den... go buy ur sushi made car. It doesnt matter if is a CBU or CKD as alot of ppl already mentioned naza will only assemble few parts only. U scare the door will fall down is it if assemble by them?

What a groups of parts them install and assembled I am not sure, but Naza have damn hell good assembled for Naza Kia Spectra ...

All people also know the parts is direct import, but Naza also can make the gearbox get a lot issue and problem (search from internet http://www.motortrader.com.my/asp/forum/to...89&whichpage=4) ...

Brother, this is 80k not 8k ... some more all people also don't how high for second hand market value and SC can handle this type high tech. car or not (I hear some SC basic and traditional car also repair have a lot problem and complain) ...
But I am very like this Kia Forte, but I will just look for CBU, if CKD I better switch buy Japanese car more safe $$$ and time ...

Mine should be the same as yours cos my rear windscreen with Wingard Royale too and my friend told me in advance that it would be a bit blur and when her staff were installing the tint for rear windscreen, he explained to me that due to the thickness of the film, there will be a small space around the "brown lines" (sorry dont know what is that called  ) and cause blurness and it should improve after a week under hot sun, but it will still be a bit blur as compared to the side. Its acceptable to me and can see things clearly

yes, this is wht i have really feel and observed after 1 mth. 1st is really blur and now ok and acceptable. But my Wingard agent never tell me this !

forte is really poison lah....it is very good buy

I when to the kia penang showroom in town last sat. Too bad the display car was moved to be display at Queen's Bay Mall. The sales rep said he can't guarantee it is CBU if I book now

then i asked got any differences with the CKU and CBU. He said the interior might be different as he made his conclusion (without seeing the forte CKD model) as he compared with Rondo that the sound proofing and the interior might be different.

That was the sales rep said lah. But still there is alot of ppl in the waiting list to get the car....really selling like hot cakes...

Did my tinting yesterday ... Wingard Royale security film for side and rear glasses and front is using Sun Barrier 70 so overall JPJ compliance  ... I am happy with the colour of the film (it matches my Titanium Silver perfectly) and the workmanship (drive all the way back from Butterworth to Penang using the bridge with radio off and aircon one bar to see if there was any rattling sound as they removed the third break light panel and some small parts (windows rubber, tweeter and etc) during the installation) ... no rattling sound ... and just checked it thoroughly and no bubbles or any deffects on the films    ... Performce of the tint on heat rejection? Cannot comment until i test it at work cos park under direct sunlight without any shade

Here is the photo after tinting at the shop ... it took around 2.5 hrs and it was done in a aircon room :

[attachmentid=1391697]

At home ... dont know why the photo shows a lot of reflection, in actual fact not much reflection or not that matellic type which i dont like

[attachmentid=1391698]

Just now bumped into bbear at Tesco and he asked me to check if the rear mirror got blur or not cos using security film also (my friend did tell me that it will be slightly blur but since we dont look at the rear mirror for long period of time, shouldn't cause any dizziness or problem) and i would say not as clear as before tinting but no really blur or got any distortion. FYI, the rear mirror dim feature was working perfectly last night. Here is a photo:

[attachmentid=1391707]

Anyone interested, please PM me for the price ... asked my friend to give special price for all the members here, FB and Forte Malaysia and she agreed. Anyone from Penang want to have a look at the tint in action, PM me and we can meet up

hi there,
there are no body 100% confirmed they can get CBU unit until the time they received the car with AP copy. there are no 100% commitment that u will get a CBU, the SA can talk and promised will sky high but at the end they are not the BOSS of NazaKIA which they can 100% gurantee with u.

if really like the car just buy it, if so scare of CKD, just leave it. as simple as that. everybody know that it is 80k+ and everybody still go and buy it even though no 100% gurantee on CBU units. if you think with 80K u can get a cbu car, just go ahead. i believe u only can bought a CBU from China (cherry)with that price only.

no offence, just my opinion.

Bro, I like Kia Forte ... but I look for CBU unit ... I don't know which branch can confirm get CBU unit only, for Bukit Tinggi, Klang branch  them cannot confirm can get the CBU and also don't know need wait how long ...

CBU ... yes I will go ahead. eat kimchi, I am more trust CBU unit.
CKD ... not, eat sushi feel better. 
NOTE:
Korea food inside Korea country eat the BBQ style food is very nice good (If you try before on Korea country, you will know) ... But inside Malaysia eat the Korea BBQ (shop open by Korea people) the food is cannot compare by the real Korea local BBQ. ... Just same like CBU and CKD ...

You are right, because not people guarantee can get CBU units ... but SA keep told buyer is CBU units, of cause have group of people here damn like CKD unit (no offence, just my opinion).

For me very easy 80K can get CBU unit by cost 80k is more market value than CKD with same cost (if can get it) ... I just a buyer of cause need choice highest market value product. If the SA cannot guarantee buyer can get the CBU, than on start of beginning don't tell the buyer and give them hope is a CBU unit ... All people also know the CBU unit is limit units, for all real buyer of cause hope can get the limited CBU units ...

forte is really poison lah....it is very good buy
