i wonder why they left out the auot retractable side mirror.....
can we install ourself?? how much??

When i was in SG, my colleague's friend took us a ride on his 1.6(SX) forte, comes with:

1. Leather seat
2. Retractable side mirror
3. 3 bluetooth buttons just right below the trip button on your left side of the dash, near your wiper control.
4. 17 inch sport rim
5. No-keyless, but ignition key

According to him, he added 1k SGD for that, maybe I have heard wrongly.

Basically, that is the 1.6(SX)

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

Hi,

That is what I heard too. There were some 2.0 first batch initially, but due to the price too low, our govt. not allow the car to land in m'sia. So, they quickly sent them over to langkawi.

But, weird thing is: till now there is no langkawian fella update us on 2.0 at all. Langkawi cannot on line? hahahahahahahaa

Looks like what I been told by my Nasim's SA is real.. that he told me. 2.0SX will only available after local assembly line is up as the government does not allow those CBU 2.0SX selling price.

My Nasim's SA called Gurun's plant to ask about Forte 2.0SX because I told him I will change to Peugeot if I still cannot get updates on the Forte's delivery.. i guess he is desperate and call the Gurun to ask about Forte even he is selling Peugeot  wink.gif

Lol...that is a bad news. But i guess that is the time when they will reduce 6 air bags become two, remove this and that to reduce the price.

really WTF.

I don't know why.. it made me felt like similar scenario will surfaces when there are problem on warranty.. calling carelines.. Agent A will tell one story, Agent B will tell another story.. then SC 1 will practice this.. and SC 2 will practice that.

I knew that is not the problem of the car or probably not even is Kia's problem but the Naza problem ( which if i moved to the other brand also is under Naza )

Buying car suppose to be fun, exciting.. with something looking forward to.. but all these while is only frustration. Maybe a hint on it is not the car for me  after all.

envy those that got their 1.6 on the road.. enjoying their new partners.

Guys,

let's wait till mid/end of Jan. If there is still no car, or confirm bad news for 2.0(SX), we cancel together.

Leave them speechless...We are here to support the brand, and yet everything is not firmed then no point waiting.

Anyway..I will meet my SA next week for a confirmation first. Hopefully my SA will have concrete answer by next week

Let's give them/us an opportunity till mid Jan. No point arguing now because it is long holiday season.

By that time, we will need to stay together, cancel the order and then paste our feedback on KIA Malaysia facebook.

Shall i place a wall post on KM FB stating that there will be a bunch of us to cancel 2.0SX order by next week if there are no news / updates on 2.0SX ? we are only tiny ants.. may make no impact to them.. Add one more not too much.. minus one also no feel

bbear,

Let's wait till mid of Jan. We can do it by then. Need to be fair to them. Anyway, 2 more weeks to go, pretty fast.

At the same time I am thinking, 3-6 months of waiting period, it is just simply no making sense at all.

What I mean is they have totally no stock for the car. If they have stock, I don't mind to put in the money for waiting to allocate.
just like the feeling of the person who book 2.0, everything paid, but stock not even appear and need wait.
I play safe, if keep no stock, then I still can pull my money to buy another car. Not giving them money to spend and asking me to wait.
*
It is a chicken and egg situation like Victor has mentioned. If you decided to go for this car, and for better chance of car allocation, you are strongly advised to pay your down payment. We all know the 1k booking means nothing.

But again, you are right, if there is no car, even though you pay for down payment, you won't be getting one like me, and the rest of 2.0(SX).

Let say, the next batch has few hundred of units, and you are the one who didn't pay d/p earlier vs those who paid, who has better chance of getting the car? May not be you.

I think the situation is tough, demand > supply. You want the car, then you pay for allocation no matter there is stock or no, coz end of the day you still want the car. Unless you are frustrated with this kind of situation, then you better pull out and opt for other car.

No point hanging in there with 1k booking, hope/pray for stock availability, then only pay your d/p. I believe you will be on the queue until demand < supply.

Once fullpayment and loan agreement sign, is no turning back, if he said 2 years later only got car, u also have to wait and pay for the car loan.

Not that rich that to pay 75k/82k/83k for Naza to draw their profit chart nicely.

Naza give too many empty promise. When did KIA wanna come in by themselves.

KIA comes in by themselves, Forte will be 90k for 1.6 and probably 110k for 2.0

Went to KIA JnS SC (Sungai Pinang) first thing in the morning and i was so relief that it was just the battery connector (negative) loose that was causing the problem. The service at JnS was really good (as recommended by many in Penang) and the boss (Steven) greeted me and had a chat with Lee and I. I actually sms Steven last night around 10PM to ask about the office hour and surprisingly he called back and asked me not to jump start if the battery isn't working the next day (i noted this in the user manual as well, NEVER jump start a Forte). The service provided by JnS SC is among the best if not THE BEST in Penang  rclxms.gif

Very nice meeting you Brother Lee and your wife  biggrin.gif

What is the consequence if we jump start the battery?

Thanx,
If already in 4th gear in D mode, we put to '+' it will no response lo...

So if want to shift from 4th gear to 2nd gear , we need to shift the gear 2 times at ' - ' ...
*
Some technical question here, when I think about + - gear.

Say: You are at about 100km/h on auto mode, and you feel to have more torque power, then you shift it to shiftronic and reduce it to 3rd gear, will this damage your gearbox? Ok, how about 100km/h you reduce it to 2nd gear?

Scary right?
