personally, I don't think so lo.. but won't know until it happens . But if wanna careful about it, then stick to recommended kpa. Typically, recommended kpa has firm ride. But also consider this, the firmer the ride, the more the car will get some 'rattling' from the doors, dashboard, etc..

IS there any other brands of 17 inch, 215/45 tyre available in Malaysia market ?

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.

that is bullshit........they already have reduced their warrantee to 2 years from the standard 5 years in other countries, still want to wriggle out of this........

look at your warrantee booklet carefully, make sure they do not include additional exclusion conditions.......

Hello, I have paid DP for my 2.0 SX.. white..
wanna ask, my SA said that I have to go to Rawang with him later when car is ready for pick up.. he said if wants him to bring to showroom.. must sign authorisation letter.. any u guys that the SA drive to showroom sign the letter? or any of u guys go to rawang n pickup?

agreement letter i think
n before u drive home ur car frm rawang also need sign a letter

Hi, this happened suddenly to my old car which is 4 years (I mean the brake light). Actually it can be fixed easily, just tell them when u go to service. it is something related to wiring connection goes wrong.

[COLOR=blue] Congrate:clap: Few week's ago, i accompany my bf pick his forte at Rawang. Actually is quite near K.L. the Rawang Warehouse have a small office,the stuff there is quite good manner. When we saw the car,they let us check outside & inside the car. If you not sure which button use for they actually can assist you. I think we have spend around 35min or 45min to check the car(we bring along the check list with us) and they didn't actually rushing you to sign the document. But during driving the new car back is really jam in Rawang...

I read a post in FB, saying that we need to ask for the photostat copy of our car AP when collecting our car.
Is that true? If I just keep quiet, will the SA give me the AP of my car ? or.. do I need to ask for it?
Why do we need to keep a copy of AP?

Thanks Phelix, Julz, iluvena, Fortelover, DevilsForte

Julz, I joined MyFORTE club dy but since didn't have my baby yet, so didnt post anything. I will post the photo of my Forte tomorrow cos camera with gf.

Today I tested uphill (small hill at Jalan Yap Choy Yee and also Jalan Delima) and it was powerful enough to me and i didnt really step on it hard. As compared to my Spectra, a lot lot more powerful and as compared to my gf's Latio Sport, slightly less responsive. If you are wondering, both my gf and I add up to around 130KG and only two of us in the car, didn't try 4 adults uphill yet.

I went up Cameron Highlands twice with my Spectra without problem but of course very high FC, so i think Forte will do a lot better

BTW, I was a bit shocked when i saw that the 30km/h and 50km/h on the speedometer without any light and was very disappointed for the defect, but after checking Forte.my and the broucher, well it is by purpose and not a defect ... anyone know the reason for not lighting up 30km/h and 50km/h?

Another thing is the power window buttons for back passanger are without any light, not like the driver and front passanger (with red light) right?

it is in red-lined color. Not no light
Korean cars are being designed in that way
mayb u can go and find out why

it is common that back and co driver window buttons are without backlite
it happens almos happen in every car (dun take continental car for comparison for it)

by the way. Merry Xmas and happy new new to everyone here
regarding the wheel sticker thingy. I'll do it asap as I'm focusing in another mission impossible
which us
much more more important than the sticker

else. It would be eAsier to tell me what u guys expecting to pay. And I get the best quality with that amount of money. Rather than u guys paying cheap but end up the sticker can't last long

but what's in my mind to to get alloy as material as it doesn't look cheapo and looks real

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.

Was dropping by at another Showroom.. There is a white EX sitting in the showroom.. checking out the car and hopping can have the 3rd test drive so that can helps me to decide if to keep waiting or cancel booking.

The SA said all 2.0 still at Langkawi.. new car only available after CNY.. .. we have so many version of stories.

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.

My bf just bought his forte few weeks ago. But the SA only gave him the JPJ Geran. No AP cert. Is that mean the car cannot be sold/trade in the future ? And also what if the SA now refuse to give the AP cert as he also collected his commission already (no layan us).
