my avanza already 3.5 years old w/out any problem at all (minor pun takde)...
1st 3 service sent to toyota...

the rest still standard... now mileage 55k km...
now it's time to say goodbye coz of this forte...  cry.gif

so suppose forte should be 'mind free' if avanza can last long up to 3.5 years...

Wondered why you bought an a(vanza mpv) previously and now willing to change back to the sedan (forte)?
Was 3rd row of avanza rarely occupied and passengers were willing to pack full the 2nd row seats ???

Still having the forte vs grand livina discussion with wifey .... icon_question.gif

Which is better to reduce cabin noise from the 17inch wheels with RM 2K budget? Add sound proofing cabin OR change to 'quiet' tyres like michelin primacy lc. icon_question.gif

Does either void warranty coz heard that downgrading to 16inch rims myself does void warranty.

Thinking of change booking to 1.6SX. Need 4 months wait for 2.0.

One of the SA confirmed with me that the 2.0 is only available on March.

this is because i told the SA that i only will place the order after i test drive the 2.0 forte but the SA still push me to order the car and told me that the whole malaysia will only have forte 2.0 on march even for the test drive unit.

the SA told me that the gov is not agree of the current selling price and may increase before they could start selling the forte 2.0.

Big G shouldn't have any problem with the 2.0sx 'CKD' price coz Hyundai Elantra 2.0 CBU had no problem being priced at RM95K. Unless some new national car is coming out soon with 'lancer-like-looks' and 'mivec 2.0 -like-powertrain'. Then it'll be waja vs forte war.

1 month after booking .. i've lost most of my craziness over forte. Quit asking the SA . just wanna wait and see. The 156 hp and 194 torque is the only thing that's keeping my booking. hmm.gif

Dealer in kota bharu says can get my 2.0 mid-feb. SA at Kia Ampang Point says can get late Jan 2010. Also said many booked 2.0 and willing to wait.

Yup ... must be due to the price structuring of a 2.0 CBU car with CKD pricing.

My conclusion .. car will arrive late Jan but will not be enough to fulfill current number of booking. Hence the waiting list up to mid-2010 ... though I'm quite convince we'll the start seeing the 2.0s on the roads by feb (if there's any way to differentiate it).

Pre-launch booking priority?? ... beginning to doubt it.

NAZA should pause for a while their all-out forte ads and concentrate first on satisfying pre-existing bookers. More of fortes on the road is good advertisement by itself.

to all fellow 2.0 Buyer,

will you guys hold on until end of jan 2010?? i'm starting to change my mind... planning to get civic 2.0 instead of this forte 2.0....


*
Suggest u give another 4 weeks until the rumoured 28 jan docking of 2.0s. I'm pretty convince they'll arrive. Another 20-30K for sylphy/civic is too much to ask .... and that's not including the interest after 7 years loan. Different story though if the pre-2010 forte bookers are also affected by the new year price hike. But a 5K hike is still acceptable i guess.

93.8K is too good a bargain for a 2.0. rolleyes.gif

Yaa man .. u do just that. Keep us updated .. just don't bomb those cars. I made great advance yesterday (7 Jan) ..wife agreed for forte after I kept secret from her for 1 month booking .. got from JPJ 3 digit plate no .773 for RM210 .. and SA told me as of recently AM Bank has lowered it's 7 and 9 year loan interest to standard 3.0 %.
So go bomberman 007 and make my week. rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

And bought Autocar Asean jan 2010 which gave 4 out of 5 star for forte 1.6SX road test.

Sorry for the faked outburst ... just my attention-seeking behaviour. Falsely hoping that The head of NAZA was reading and willing to answer.

QUOTE(Perryyip @ Jan 10 2010, 12:59 AM)
Zubin, Izputra n 2.0 buyers. If there is not mistaken, 2.0 is here arrived in Malaysia but limited units (around 200). Those who booked earlier b4 Jan 2010 will have chance to get it. Why SA saying price will increase 20k ? meaning wat i posted are 100% correct. I was saying due to price impact on local (proton) and import brand (honda etc), government will not release the 2.0 that arrived unless Naza-Kia willing to increase their price. So i do believe wat my branch manager told is true. The 1st batch 2.0 will be releasing to 1st batch customers as soon as they settle the price which will effect from 2010. I've booked it b4 2010, load approved n paid downpayment. Why 1 or 2 months ? why dont give them a chance ? good things always need waiting list, meaning alot people wants it ! am i right ? correct me if the above info is wrong. THanks
*
Preparing for the worse. I only booked RM1K with local dealer early Dis '09. No downpayment .. no loan approval. Don't think my name is even in the 'computer system' (if there is such an honest system to begin with). So if they hike the price another 20K for 2010.. i'm certain to get the new pricetag slap on my face. For 114K .. I'll reconsider the whole bunch of Pug308THP, Civic 1.8 .. and Chev Cruze 1.8 (better cabin i read). Or maybe just go back to Honda City 1.5 and save 4K instead.

Perryip .. are u trying to say that only 1st batch bookers get the RM93K price .?... after that ... all others just drool for the 2.0

Shiiishhh cool.gif cry.gif

Got a heads up from my SA. NAZA HQ will distribute the 1.6SX stock in the next week or 2, each branch will know their allocated stock and buyer will be informed.

Sorry for asking the umpteenth time ... is the 2.0SX CKG also in stock?

to all 2.0 fellows, please update your info about the availibility of our 2.0 at here so we can share. let me start this:

-call to careline today, they said still no news about the 2.0
-no allocation to any 2.0 buyer now
- call to my SA, he very firm (again) said that the car now at port klang (i didn't see any during my last visit to port)

so what's your version of updated info?
*
The manager of the NAZA dealer has not changed his story from day one. I'll get my car mid Feb. If custom clearance and what not takes 2-3 weeks .. then shouldn't car arrive at port in end Jan.

Just keep playing the guessing game. hmm.gif rclxub.gif

- Spoken to the manager at the branch too two week ago during test drive, he is very sure also can get car by end of Jan.

I'm crossing my fingers and toes that your SA knew for a fact what he told you .. and not just some mumbo-jumbo to keep your booking. icon_rolleyes.gif

Dear NAZA, may i suggest that Forte 2.0SX be renamed Forte-Enigma as to differentiate it from 1.6SX . For today it is in Gurun for emblem changing but also has just arrived at our shore awaiting AP clearance. So far only 50 across malaysia has booked it across malaysia ... going hand in hand with exactly 50 who are waiting their 1.6.

But i do believe that all these 'stories' are indeed true for they are the pieces of a puzzle. When every piece falls into their place.. the greater picture will appear before thy eyes .... tadaaa .. The Forte-Enigma 2.0.

Please .. before CNY .. oh please. rclxm9.gif

i ask is it now the car already here? he:'' yes, the cars are at gurun. we are pushing it to customer before CNYE."
then how can you assure us - prelaunch buyer get the car 1st and not others that buy later? he said: "we have enough 2.0 to distribute to buyer, just wait till that time. "

i ask my SA, actually now got how many units? my SA said total of 200 units 2.0 and 400 units 1.6. not sure how truth is their story... just wait and see lo....
*
Music to my ears .... thanx for the news bro. I think 200 units should be enough .. with some cancelling booking, some downgrading to 1.6SX and maybe many not booking yet as ruomours of the petrol subsidy tier by big G (no subsidy for 2000cc above .. but ThetaII is 1998 cc right?) . icon_rolleyes.gif
