unfortunately they do not offer semi synthetic. only mineral and fully synthetic.
i've use mineral before for vios.. the engine performance dropped like hell. its up to personal choice. do you have any document to support your claim or simply giving out your opinion and hope others to agree with you?


if got semi synthetic of course have more option for customers.. but bear in mind that double service (twice 5K service) for semi, the charges will be more than fully (10K service).

coz i've compared mineral services charge is equal or slightly less to fully synthetic charges (for major services and normal services after 1 year)

hahaha.. your's is using semi and performance dropped at 6 ~ 7K. if fully of course it will be different.. maybe the performance only dropped at 8 ~ 9K? have you try fully synthetic and the performance dropped at the same level (6 ~ 7K)? my gf's vios use fully synthetic and no issue on performance at 8K out of 10K now..

yes. you'll feel the underpower when travelling at hilly road. but you must absorb the FC pain la. use the shiftronic function and you can gain control the power.
try use the "instant" display and train your foot not to exceed 10L level for most of the driving time.

dude.. the only lower service charge for honda is on 1st service. other than that almost the same and mostly higher than forte.
why compare to accord? should only compare to civic. and the charges also not lower than kia. only 1st service lower then claim honda cheaper than kia?

in the websites, both pricing also use mineral. and please take note for fully synthetic the price is higher (for forte)

where do you live? maybe i can see your car. and you see mine. hahahaha.

for mineral... 1K, 5K and 10K services are free from labor charges

for fully synthetic.. 1K, 10K and 20K services.. (FOC on labor)

i believe the labor charges for 1.6 and 2.0 is the same.

yup. you'll have trouble if you dont have the AP cert. usually bank will have the original and copy kept by us (if purchased by loan). for cash purchase maybe you need to check with the car dealer.

wah bro phelix... sad to hear that..

no need to pay them for runner fee. that is their problem and not us.
and yes please report to careline. hopefully for those paid can get their money back.

the service charge list maybe for 1.6 only
for 2.0 maybe different a bit like what you've said.
currently no 2.0 on the road, so.. maybe they don't publish the service charge list yet.

Added on December 24, 2009, 10:39 ammeans phelix got 2 bookings? one for 2.0 and one for 1.6?

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..

and for 2.0.. i've another story to share.. ok like this..
my SA had received information that the fastest can get the car is on january. but again they stick to their previous statement coz dont want overpromise.

and for first batch 2.0, all of them for langkawi market becoz they have problem with custom. for 1.6 they dont have problem coz price structure they just follow spetra.

in langkawi they dont have duty import tax. dunno how naza will resolve this prob with custom for peninsular and east malaysia.

but for sure the car price in 2010 will be increased due to increased in excise duty.. coz duty import will be decreased (gov action to encounter afta and to protect proton)

and for those who book now, they don't promise can give previous price. except for those who have the car allocated (deposit + dpayment + loan approved).

i just share this story. not to make things worst. but you should expect the worst if the car price really increased on next year. cheers

hahaha. ya.. the trip button.. forgot already coz so hectic yesterday.

prob with alignment. the car tend to pulling to the left. need to verify again coz yesterday stuck in jam.

Added on December 25, 2009, 7:48 amthe alignment fix is free for first 1500KM
can go without wait for 1st service

go and secure the loan!!!!

just to add.. my SA claim that if our windscreen crack, they don't cover it.
lets hope problem in SG remain in SG only.

Added on December 25, 2009, 9:37 amservice on your way back la bro. hehe. try to contact each service branch/dealer on your way to pahang/melaka.
see whether they're open on public holiday or you can do it on weekend..

who want to buy forte if you have other choice coz no tax? hahaha.
if pakcik makcik buy also they won't online ma.. hehe
or maybe they hold the car.

thats the problem. price in CKD but the car is CBU. thats why KiaMalaysia FB always insist car is CKD. in "geran" state "kereta import baru" (means CBU) 1.6 already have CKD price based on spectra. but not 2.0

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..

me too..
worst thing is my colleague said that korean car sucks (when i show her forte pics).. but the best thing is she never own one and she only know based on hearsay.
when i counter back her claim.. then she speechless. and i advice her not to talk bad things/spread rumors without facts. hahaha. one down and many more doubters that need to be educated. hopefully forte can change malaysian's perception about korean's car.

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

haa.. then its good news for me la.. but mine one is not fine line.. maybe will go to doctor cermin to have it fix..

you're same with my case. i haven't get the AP cert yet. but SA promise to give me. now pending with HQ. we should get the AP cert copy.

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.

check with your SA. i didn't get it when collect the car. but at the sametime yhlee (lyn forummer also) get the cert.
all CBU unit should have AP cert copy
