QUOTE(julz76 @ Jan 9 2010, 02:02 PM) maybe the SG team thinks that the glassglow is as good as the film, so got it removed. anyway washing the car is really easy now... spent less than half an hour to get it washed. just spray water on the car and wipe it with micro fibre cloth, done |

QUOTE(xIceLemonTeax @ Jan 10 2010, 08:44 AM) pm phelix it's for easier car wash... doesnt matter wat color Added on January 10, 2010, 8:47 ami was wondering should i get sierraglow for my silver forte? because i notice people only get sierraglow for their white or black forte. QUOTE(whiteforte @ Jan 10 2010, 03:21 PM) Guys, touch wood... none of the above. but i find it strange tat engine is quite loud during cold start. rpm goes up to 2k before coming down. even without pressing the accelerator.A few things to clear up:- 1) a soft 'kok kok' sound during the first few minutes of starting the enigne & driving off. 2) a bit of burnt smell after driving for some time & then turning off the engine. Happened to my Myvi as well. Service center said it's due to the undercarriage coating on the Myvi. So, are the above normal? Thanks. |

Added on January 10, 2010, 5:35 pmOh yeah, the front headrests are not that comfortable for shorter ppl. It tilts to the front a lot. Any remedy? |

QUOTE(digitalcode @ Jan 11 2010, 03:32 PM) yup, I also saw it at the IOI Fair... basically they will discount another 5k if you don't want to pre-pay for the 3 years free service... avante so cheap already? hmmm... good choice for those who want peace of mind since they have the longest warranty period / mileagethis is for the 2009 Q4 stock. The new 2010 stock will arrive late Jan but will cost additional 2k, or total 86k OTR... but still not my cup of tea la... the look is just QUOTE(Scotch2009 @ Jan 11 2010, 06:31 PM) Guys , i booked my forte last month ..but my wife ask me to change it to Honda City which is belief to be more reliable, resale value...cheaper spare part price..etc.. n who made the decision to book forte in the 1st place? if it's after a long discussion before booking the car, then have another long discussion to shift her attention back to forte wat u guys think?

QUOTE(4te @ Jan 12 2010, 11:05 PM) Actually i tested a few methods ... my friend from SG told me that they use small metal ruler, but it will leave small scratches, i tested the method but failed. I tried to use the small screw driver (the one to fix glasses) but failed too. Last Saturday when doing the tinting my fren's dad actually owns a tire shop right beside the tinting shop, so i checked with the worker and he said must remove the whole tire and i asked him to show me how to remove from a demo rim and he just used his finger to poke from the inside, so i was thinking maybe can just suck it out with the suction hook, which is not expensive and some might already have it at home, and it works hehehe Happy DIYing to all when you get your wheel caps |

QUOTE(StarGhazzer @ Jan 13 2010, 03:20 AM) FC for me is appalling now... approx 100km only on the clock and all urban driving... 14+L/100km... hopefully will drop as the engine chalks up more kms. wow... ur place is full of traffic jam is it?i was caught in traffic jam over the past 2 days. 1/2 an hour each around PJ area, and saw avg FC shot up from 8.3 to 8.9. but since idling rpm is less than 700 (690 to be exact, thx to bro victor info), i guess it's really considered not bad already. |

QUOTE(4te @ Jan 13 2010, 05:39 PM) The white definitely looks better ... not to mention the long license plate and KIA emblem which add a few more points on the look my wife told me the same thing about car plate last week, after my glowing session.front plate in 2 rows is not nice. she even suggested me to swap with the back one where to find the kia - power to suprise plate holder? must get from kia dealer? QUOTE(StarGhazzer @ Jan 13 2010, 08:50 PM) Welcome? well said. in malaysia i think the only thing we can say is that, it's real value for money. Conclusion: It's not a perfect car, but which car is? I won't say it's a better car than the Civic, but I refuse to say it's inferior as firstly I'm biased and secondly the Civic is horrendously overpriced in M'sia. If you're in Australia, it may be easier to choose the Civic but you can only get the lowest end model with the Forte's price. If you can fork out the price for a 2.0 Civic in Aussie, you may want to look at the Golf which in terms of prestige, is a class above the Civic. Added on January 13, 2010, 10:42 pm QUOTE(samforte @ Jan 13 2010, 10:31 PM) Regarding StarGhazzer explanation ,forte 2.0 gear change not so smooth, steering feel too light when low speed and lack feedback..... light steering wheel is bcoz of the MDPS. our bros in singapore got tat in their forte.Really want to text drive frist or downgrade to 1.6 .... if bro burger is around probably he can share his experience... last time heard he already got used to it QUOTE(killdavid @ Jan 13 2010, 10:32 PM) Just got a package delivered today from Naza. There is a t-shirt, cap, backpack, key chain and organizer gift for being the first 500 buyer. got call from naza in the afternoon... package was shipped today i guess... waiting to see it in my office You guys got it too ? i think all of us who already got the car should receive this call sooner or later so, congrats for getting the freebies guys. they are not expensive gifts, but it does come as a surprise. after car delivery only send free gift via post packages This post has been edited by yhlee12: Jan 13 2010, 10:42 PM |

QUOTE(kennyphan @ Jan 14 2010, 12:44 AM) I quite prefer 1 row number format or long license plate to avoid blocking the front bottom good looking shape. But very difficult to take care this kind of long plate holder coz the bracket no strong enough to hold long plate holder and both side will look curve after sometime. aiseh. should have asked for that lo that time. damn. now need to fork out extra money. KIA plate holder - "Power of Surprise" can request from Naza Rawang where original give me Naza - "driving difference" and I request change to KIA to suite my KIA emblem. New coming Forte owner remember to request KIA plate holder! |
