hello guys can i join the club tomorrow i will book the black forte

some reviews of 2 times of test drive

1) nice  design
2) cool push start button
3) superb braking system -same level when i drove bmw and volvo for test drive
4)  for me is very good air cond-chilling
thanks

anyone serviced their forte already ?  1st 1000km service

walaoooo.. already V2 ahhh?
hahaha.. long time no spam in LYN..
just came back from honeymoon with my new babe..

just a quick review from me..

for those who got their car already, its recommended to read the manual.
lots of useful tips there.

1) Auto climate aircond
- if you use this function, set the temp at 23 degree (this is optimum setting for auto climate)

2) Smart key button
- i just notice that i wrongly push the button before. previously i simply press the brake and start the engine. but actually we could do like normal car.. press button without pressing the brake then all eletronic can be used (ie power window). then press for 2nd time (without press the brake), all the icon (airbag, temp, battery etc) will be displayed. wait for few seconds then start the car (push button + press brake)

3) Steering lock
- yes. it has the wheel lock funtion

4) running the engine
- get info from manual that we should vary the speed but must ensure rpm between 2 ~ 4 only.. haha.. i've test 130km/h at rpm 3.5, 110km/h at rpm 3
for fc.. i travel from tesco ampang to temerloh, pahang.
i fill full tank with petronas ron95, and reach my hometown by slightly more then 1 bar only. hopefully the figure will be improved after done the 1st service.
travel 400+ and the meter clocked 7.2L/100km (this reading include previous day journey that stuck in worst traffic jam ~ see below)

on last thursday, i've trapped in super duper jam at sunway ldp heading towards federal hiway and stuck at super duper jam at federal hiway for about an hour.. guess what? the fc is worst!! this is because of the moving/stall condition in traffic jam. for those who stuck in the jam on that day will know how is the traffic condition.

and lastly, for your info. my ride clock mileage 173KM when i picked the car. i dont have much choice as there is no white left for me and i agree to take the unit.
the car came without plastic cover all the cushion and the radio has been setup from 1 to 6 channel. my SA put remarks excessive mileage and according to him i might get free 1st service (inclusive oil & parts) to compensate the "loss"

and lastly.. i love my ride!!!!

haha. will do.. after my babe doing her saloon.. haha.. now super messy because its raining for past 2 days..

alah~ have to collect la~
no $$$$
ask julz to pay for u first.. muahaha

Will be going for my first 1k service tomorrow..

woi!!!!!!!!! hahaha nooooooo cannot like that    
i want collect haha but can i pay later? damn broke this month anyhow i'll try my best to pay laa hahaha ok ar phelix? or maybe u can gimmie ur account number den i'll bank in to u few days later
i know phelix very nice one, he wont bully small kid de

plz do check on the bill, there might be some other 3rd party stuffs they put in and charge you for it.

for my  1st service, they put in battery cap (which i'm not sure what it is for,and should have come together with the car), rainX  winscreen washer (which they claimed, they put in, but no proof at all) , fuel injector cleaner ( also no proof) ,

and the engine oil-ask for the empty tank as proof. coz the service centre i went, they told me they put in pennzoil instead of petronas syntium(so far i have not asked for any plastic tank) -if they put in cap ayam oil oso we wont know,and if engine damaged..we still have 5 years warranty,but will cause great trouble to us, while the service centre gets away with real good money

actually we hesitate to recommend because we've our own difficulty during the booking + getting the car. i would recommend my SA but some other guy facing problem with the same SA even though i didn't face any problem at all. if you're looking for best deal.. i think best bet is from dealer..

julz, care to share your good dealer to MangO?

Yaloh! 
I got Rm12K budget to allocate it after downgrade from 2.0SX to 1.6SX!

Will plan to spend some $$$ for my new Forte coz it may use for another few years...

I will still prefer to put the sticker. Reason is the rim cap can loose and missing in action.
Once u lost one of the rim cap.... where you should get back? order another RM140 again??
So, i prefer to use the normal rim cap and design the King long sticker on it, price cheaper and match the King long emblem...
Lost 1, the do back another 1 from Sticker shop... kekeke...

no lar.. i thinks its a cap.. thinking of applying the sticker on top

don't know... no one knows it yet. but if as bomberman said is by Jan (unknown week) then should be Jan lo.

what to do...

Just got my Forte (titanium silver) today and Merry Xmas to all
