Mine is spicy red. But I normally only ride motorbike or my wife's kancil to work. But today, I got chance to drive my baby forte to work.  rclxm9.gif
Congratz to both of you! Enjoy your happy moment with your long waited beloved forte.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Went to Ecotint at Seremban today to do the tinted. Saw another 2 Forte there, one black one white. Any member here went to Ecotint Seremban today? Btw, the lady sales agent there is pretty, too bad the boss is there, not manage to get her number.

Yeah, ask to see their garage for the so called ready stock. I got my car from KIA at Seremban, they do showed me the ready stock behind their garage.

Most people will compare to the closest price range not the car range, that's the fact of it. Honda and Toyota already become a legend in most Malaysian mind, they won't accept Korea made car can improve just like they don't trust china stuff but actually most of the stuff they using are made in china. My friend said why buy Forte, 80k go get 2nd hand Toyota Camry more worth it...

That's what I answered my friend, can Camry beat Forte with the FC? Before break in, I manage to get 0.14, much more better than his wira/waja, not to mention Camry. He just keep quiet then. No point argue with people that don't move on, just give them the info to shut them up will do.

My bad, didn't ask properly, I know the difference, I mean does it do any good or bad to the engine?

A dumb question, before I book the car, it says there is an active headrest, when I check the manual, it says can be push or pull 3 directions but I can't figure out how to do it. Is active headrest only apply to 2.0?

Better remove the form fast, some said it might leave a mark after some period of time due to sun light effect to the paint. Not sure true or not but I removed it on the 1st day I got my car.

yeah..the official distributor for KIA in Malaysia..sound better..because, nothing to do with KIA..
i would believe, if KIA has their own outlet setup here..if much more better..like hyundai..
Avante  dont have delivery issue..
but all the KIA car being handle by NAZA....big time showstopper..


Added on February 23, 2010, 5:44 pm

if you want my opinion...NOT NICE at all..
i prefer the original light..the RIM, somehow not really suit for the car....the tint , black and white is perfect match..
this is my opinion only..my own point of view..

somehow, the mod, make forte looks very LALA / AH BENG type of car..
sorry, if offence~~
*
I LOL but you got the point, the mod made the car like those LALA who mod their Vois and tailgate people all the time.

I did my tinting today @ air cool puchong.. Why most of u did not take the Free 7" FWS top? Also... my Front and rea screen.. i found out that its abit wavy.. like not really clear.. izzit will gone by time or its defect?
*
It is normal, because inside still wet. Put it under the sun for 3-7 days for it to dry then it will gone. Make sure you don't open the windows, don't use the front and rear screen heater. I took the 7" black top, nice to block the sun, btw i'm with Ecotint.

the fast solution is to 'koyakkan' the car tint film that failed the puspakom's test  wink.gif ask the puspakom tester to do that (tear off the tint film)...no other fast way. i did that for both of my previous car  tongue.gif

changing the name will not cause a bang.. i forget the actual amount but it is cheap...

ching4ever, u just peel the tint off by urself.. and go thru the jpj inspection.. after that go bac to the tint shop and retint again..

else u have no way to pass ur inspection thus causing failure in transfering the car ownership
*
Problem solved. Puspakom want MONEY! After my mom make noise to higher lever and warn them with background of government workers they let it pass.

QUOTE(bbear @ Feb 24 2010, 02:23 PM)
Someone advise me, if I have problem with Puspakom, inform the tint shops that do warranty as they will go to Puspakom to "negotiate" and normally no need to redo. ( the cost of redo + cost of negotiation may be the same and it save more time.  brows.gif
*
That's what I actually wanted to do it, contact the tinted shop for warranty but lucky it pass without much hassle.

vios is the worst design ever, old design better than the new one.
city almost same like forte. i park my parent city beside forte, both looks very similar, like brothers.

QUOTE(msk @ Feb 25 2010, 01:35 AM)
I've got mine on 19th Feb 1.6 Sx Metal Bronze. My feedbacks so far.

Plus (besides the good looks & value)
1. Very nice NVH with aircond actually noisier than engine.. wife actually didn't realize engine's on idling for eg.
2. Fuel consumption quite good with Instant FC reading quite fun to train.
3. Virtual keyless. Smart key can be in jeans all the time. Push black button on door to unlock. Start engine and go. Lock when exit car.

Minus (may be my car - Please comment)
1. Air cond when "Auto" will automatically intake outside air. When pressed recirculate, it will deactivate. Sometimes it will auto with internal setting. Haven't figure this out yet. Else, OK.
2. Headrest as some observed not adjustable. Takes time to adjust to.
3. More body roll than I like. Sometimes will have roller coaster effect after going over bump and turning.. Wonder if others experience this. This shouldn't be due to alignment or balancing right?
4. Before realizing push button cycling of acc, on, start, off.. there were times I cannot lock the door with indicator keep saying key not in car until I manually lock with key. Only deactivate after start/stop the car. Then I realized, it's not in off. Took my some time before realizing this.

Others
1. No alarm. thought about autolock but damn heavy. Letting it be.
2. PPS vs Sierra Glow. Please comment for those done if you're happy or with you've done the other. While waiting unfortunately already waxed but dare not do any silicon sealant products after reading comments. But wonder if I don't do PPS/SG, would be better to just apply sealant now to lock in the new paint??
3. Tinting.. any good suggestions in Penang. Dealer suggest a tint shop next to JPJ Bkt Jambul using IR Film tint. heard about it??

That's all and hope to hear from others.
*
I don't use auto because it is too cold all the time, especially when I'm driving alone, 3 aircond facing to me directly.
One thing I don't like is, whenever I off the aircond, it will auto change to instake outside air, if I'm at other country with nice weather and air, I don't mind but in Malaysia auto change to intake outside air, it is suffering. Anyone know how to use only recirculate air?

QUOTE(msk @ Feb 25 2010, 10:53 AM)
Sounds good.. another option for me.  rclxms.gif  A question for folks who tinted..
1) Do you tint on top of stock tint or they will remove all first??
2) Any idea what is the spec for the Forte 1.6 Sx stock tint??
3) Also how to check the quality of workmanship. My stock tint no bubbles when dry bu when I wipe the tinted internal windows with water,
I will actually see where it isn't fully glued, like lines, round finger pressure, etc that ISN'T visible when dry.. Do you guys see this with your tint?
Does that mean in time, those spots will come undone with ugly lines/bubbles??  shocking.gif
4) For those who tinted cars before, how long max before discoloration/bubbles/lines happen. Read most film warranty 5 yrs as thats when it happens. Don't want to retint every 5 years..$$  rclxub.gif

Appreciate any other tinting comments from those who's done it before.. All my ex cars are untinted so stock tint already good enough for me if not for heat!!!
If not for hot Msian weather, another option would be tint only when Forte stock tint goes!!  tongue.gif
*
There is a stock tint? Mine doesn't comes with any tint...

Yes, 1.6Sx comes with UV 99% tint, just unsure about the IRR as heat still comes in... anybody know the specs or can answer my other tinting questions before I take the plunge.

Also appreciate any comments from folks who's done PPS or Sierra Glow for comparison. Any who just use Silicon Sealant anyway?? Felt like cannot tahan already with Penang option 2K at PISA.

Sugen.. which company is the Red Forte parked?? I booked Red but change to Metal Bronze for faster delivery as my dealer says no stock & 2 reds ahead of me.. Now suddenly there's red !!!! Ha ha..
*
Don't think that's tint. As spec, it says UV Cut Glass, which means is the glass that cuts off UV no tinted apply.

FYI, I do apply tinted to the UV Cut Glass and I think everyone who tint their car would do so.

Even though the Kancil driver is reckless, but if you're going speeding past 110 kmh you are technically at fault as well.
The lesson is, don't ever speed on any roads especially in the dark. It's really hard to see any cars from behind when it's pitch black as headlamps are the only thing you will see and will be easily blocked by blindspots.
*
Agreed with that. If really wanna try out the car performance, go to the proper place. I heard that Sepang is open for public to test the car.
