if a better option comes along, i will cancel.........otherwise i can wait..........

just that it gets rather irritating waiting with no clear explanation from naza........i have waited for cars before, but it's with a clear timeframe, and reason (demand more than production)........

it's really wonderful today. spotted 2 forte on the same route via LDP.
1st one is bright silver with WTJ plate. drive past him coz he's exiting to another route.

the other one is clear white with WTH XXX9 plate. stuck in traffic jam and its so gooooood when 2 clear white forte lining side by side on the highway.
really attract other drivers attention.

by the way what is current plate number? WTJ not new number? 1st batch or 2nd batch?

Met up with 4te twice today.. first to molest his Forte since I didn't able to get one myself.. i meant admiring his DIY on the Forte and also checking out his tint.. and followed by later meeting him again in the late evening at the tint shop.

Thanks to 4te on the tine recommendation as I personally didn't really do much comparison and suddenly need to do one.

got approx. price with spray + time taken for installation?

No offense but this post looks like a bit fishy... more like the sales person posting for himself as 3rd party.

YOU CAN TRY TO PHONE BOTH DEALER.THEY ARE FROM DIFFERENT SHOWROOM.

definitely agreed..if got better option with clear delivery timeframe, i will opt for that one rather than waiting for Forte blindly

YESTERDAY I ALSO SAW A WHITE NAZA FORTE AT KOMTAR .

If your post is genuine, then I must say you have just gotten the SA into hot water.

Just booked it last Thursday. The SA told me can get by CNY... but I think that's what they all say. She says that once the loan is approved, it's easier for her to "negotiate" with her boss for allocation. Will see how it goes, so far she's been quite alright. If she really gives me the car earlier... I'll recommend her to you guys...

Sorry i dont have the K wheel cap.

Now the numbers are in the WTL range... waiting for WTM...

[quote=EarThStoRe,Jan 23 2010, 08:15 PM]To all the bros here,

If i were to book Forte 1.6 (SX) end of next week (after wednesday), when is the approx time i can get this car?
Be it Alor Star, JB and KL

Any brothers got any information on delivery duration?

Thanks in advance.

I think this is a tough question, as the delivery date is uncertain at the moment.

guys i did this in preparation for upgrading audio system later on not really to address tire noise as mine is ok. if u are on 17in and have heavy drone noise this is an option. bear in mind once u got lesser noise from the back the front will sound louder. my back road noise is very low now so some of u can try during tt before i continue more areas like doors & front.

Bro, what is the damage for the above SP? it reduce the tire/road sound by around how many percent?

Thank you for all the bros reply
I will try to find out more.

One more question to ask before i make my decision
Is forte a reliable and long lasting car (>7yrs normal usage)?

Thanks in advance

I've tendered 3 digits WTM number. Results will be announced 2moro (Monday). Hopefully i won my tendered number. . According to JPJ website, current running number = WTL 8761. So WTM running number should arrive at late Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning

But sadly, no sign of my 2.0 Forte yet..sighh

Added on January 24, 2010, 2:05 amForte's age only about 1 & a half year since it was launched in Korea. Reliable & long lasting car? i guess no one knows the answer just yet..time will tell. u should have faith on it

This post has been edited by izputra: Jan 24 2010, 02:07 AM

Reliability/long lasting depends on a variety of factors. I've known people who drive their Spectra for over 5 years and there's no major problem happened. Sometimes it's just a variety of factors... driving styles, maintenance methods etc.

No car manufacturer will make themselves a shitty car and sell it. In a business sense... it's just marketing suicide. Even when Japanese cars made it over the US, they were looked down initially but later on they proved to be one of the most reliable cars in the market.

The Americans didn't like Japanese products in the first place (they were viewed as cheap cars and had no place to compete with cars coming from GM) thats why we had Honda=Acura, Toyota=Lexus, Nissan=Infinity (each maker's luxury branding) as today

The important thing is, all the forte owners and would-be owners are taking a chance with the Forte. Perhaps it's time we gave it a chance just as the Americans gave "Acura", "Lexus", and "Infinity" their chance.

In short, Kia has taken a big step by hiring Peter Schreyer as the Design Director to make the car more appealing to the market. The platform is not the same as their previous models and according to reviews, the Forte is giving other Japanese makes a run for their money.

True, the stigma of being a Korean car will remain in those who aren't willing to give it a go.

All I know is that... when I first looked at the car... it really did "leave me speechless"
