come to think of it best we just use MYFORTE without the CLUB just incase PDRM CCTV saw us speeding can know its us from the CLUB. if just MYFORTE more general what u guys think...

Wow, nice... yup, myforte would be nicer. Has the group buy started for this? Count me in.. icon_rolleyes.gif

I think the full back number plate will be better than the small frame...

Kinda agree with you bro, full frame would make it more neat..

The driver headrest is slightly high but it doesn't really bother me. I feel aboslutely comfortable in the front seat, and if you lower the seat all the way down it actually 'feels' quite sporty with the red illumination of the speedo glowing straight at you.

FC Puchong - KL - Kelana... this morning drove very very slow - 70-80kmh. I can ride bicycle faster.... kakaka kept RPM below 3k mostly at 2k. Engine has enough torque which is good. Hill parts FC went up & came down when going down hill so average when reach office as shown in photo.

That is one crazily low FC.

I've stopped caring about the FC too much nowadays... I don't expect anything less than 8L/100km for a 2.0 with RON91. Been using shifttronic regularly now and upshifting at 2.5K or even up to 2.8K rpm. It's a sin not to enjoy such a revvy engine.

Hi folks, I've got some info on the gear ratios of the Koup...I think it should be similar to Forte's? The 4th gear is around 0.7x while the City is 0.5x (5th gear)....that may explain why it's more quiet on highway. But I think we drive around 110km/h should be fine...

Maybe it just has better noise insulation biggrin.gif

The concept pictures of the Optima is out....
http://www.kia-world.net/index.php/2010/02...mages-released/

It looks absolutely superb although the final product will be drastically toned down. My only complaint is the tiny rear window which makes the C-pillar huge. For some reason the newer Kias all seem to have thick C-pillars, check out the Sportage. Not good for visibility, the Forte already has a dangerously big blindspot there.

How about trying on siemen floor such as car park at condominium.. This type of interface very easy to get wheel spin.. If you can spy water on the siemen floor.. Then, the result will be great.. Try at you own risk ya Bro..

ESP applies brake automatically to individual wheels - either the outer front wheel to counter oversteer [if rear tyre skids] , or the inner rear wheel to counter understeer [if front wheel skids].

Normally, it indicates that ESP is activated.

I took this from another forum. To test the ESP you could either run through a big pool of water fast (maybe above 90KM/h) or just step on the accelerator hard in a roundabout until the ESP light blinks.
