not necessary, i also still naza. hahaha. only now want to change.
same with me. its different from others auto car that i drove before. it tends to slide backwards on the same spot.
maybe its because of the RPM during idle that is tuned low? i dunno.

Same here, never think of changing it now, the price doesn't seem worth for one logo, rather use the money for other things to improve performance, etc. Maybe in the future got extra money will think about it.

wonder if they can tune it higher during servicing ? It's kind of dangerous in my opinion. Just not quite used to it yet. I'll make a mental note NOT to follow a Forte too closely on a slope.

It is always not a good practice to leave the brake off when you on a slope. No matter what car you driving, it is a good practice to step on the brake at all time when you stopping at a slope. You won't know whether the car will move forward or backward, if power good enough, it will still move forward, not enough then fall backward. Somehow I think maybe because the car is too heavy.

LOL, in that case, use our JPJ learned method, hand brake + accelerator + let go and go forward.

They got ready stock, that's why it is fast. I got mine in 4 days time. Booking fees, next day DP and go choose car plate number, another day loan approved, 4th day settle everything and called to collect my car.

Wonder why avate 2.0 didn't get complain like forte 2.0 got? avante 2.0 sell below 90k wor

I'm totally lost. What is those SD, GLC stuff? P1 I know is protox

Nice sharing.

Just wondering anyone book their car from Kia Seremban? They got an offer, body kit and bars total for RM4500 add-on, 3 bars if not mistaken and one of them is anti-roll, if our car already comes with it, those who get the original body kit need to aware about this, don't add extra anti-roll bar.

Most of the western people service their own car, because service center too far away and car service charge damn expensive, they known better on car and their complain get treated well by the company. Here? Most people just drive, never service, accident, your fault, complain = nothing.

I'm so suprise that Honda still dare to increase their price after a recall impact on their reputation. Wonder will Toyota increase their price? My heard said he saw Toyota give a lot of promotion nowadays, discount, free gift, etc.

I don't let them to deliver my car, never! Because my friend used to helped deliver the car to the shop so the customer can collect from there, they really rev it high, sometimes even goes up to top speed if location allowed. I go the service center collect myself all the times, mileage normally less than 3km.

It can be better. I manage to get lowest 7.x l/100km, now haven't finish a full tank, still got 2 bars left but already over 470km, full tank for RM78 (ron95, shell), will try full tank petronas ron95 next week.

Not good, previously got another person share 3.0 interest for 9 years. I only manage to get 2.92 for 5 years, but fast get car, doesn't matter.

Nope, I use old road most of the times, speed can vary from 40-120km/h, depends on the road condition and whether there is cars blocking. Need to rev to cut some slow cars/lorry/bus almost everyday when I go to work and back.

jimmy, you from cyberjaya too? seem like there are quite a number of forte in cyberjaya, time for a small TT in cyberjaya.

2.85 for 9 years? That's freaking good, I wonder how low they can offer for 5 years. Too bad, I already got my car nearly a month, mid March start paying back to Public bank.

Finally 2.0 is here. I guess all the 2.0 buyer are happy for this good news, 1.6 owner remain the same and envy. Some 1.6 owner will be damn damn regret they change/downgrade, example KFC... LOL

Guys, how much the SC charge you for the first service? I just got my car back, total 200+, 3000 petronas engine oil, spark plug, etc etc. Seremban SC. Is this consider normal?

Thanks, compare to that, it looks ok to me. Just curious, anyone took the mineral package?

My bad, are gasket and oil plug + 3000 petronas sync engine oil.

I'm curious because they never offer me the mineral package but straight away gave me the syntium package. I didn't know it until I checked the website just now. I used to semi-syntium 800 for every 5k, now full-syn every 10k, consider ok to me.

He is driving Forte 2.0 and he's from Australia.

No matter what type of oil you using, you still need to service the car on time even though before you reach the mileage. Mineral, 5k mileage or 3 months; full syn, 10k mileage or 6 months. So by the end, you probably need pay almost the same price to service the car.

I think he doesn't care about the duration either, he service based on mileage even though duration over if I'm not mistaken what he posted previously, "service every 5k with mineral, every 6 months waste money"

It is not a waste of money, in fact that's the recommendation from all the car manufacturing, service your car based on mileage or duration which ever comes first.
Even though you doesn't meet the mileage, it is still recommended to do the service based on duration to ensure your car is in good condition.
I'm not in car manufacturing or whatever but so far I saw plenty of car's manual mentioned about this, there must a reason for this.
Anyway, it is up to your choice to do it or not, I surely won't do that just to save little bit of money and end up my car broke-down during middle of no way.

As far as I know, mineral/semi both used for 5k, never see any service centre use semi and advised to come back after 7.5k.

I got RM800 discount, voucher for Ecotint (4 doors), that's it. No petrol or whatever stuff.

Yup, could be CNY prmomotion price, got my car before CNY.

Could be scratched by cat, cat love to climb to the car roof and sleep because it is warm.

Kia Seremban, just walk in. But I cannot guarantee the discount because it was before CNY.

Kia Seremban. Different branch/dealer gives different things though.

Kia Seremban, just walk in. But I cannot guarantee the discount because it was before CNY.

I would say, go for the whatever cars you prefer and affordable. Regardless what brand it is, famous or not famous, it is up to the person. As long as we like our ride, that's it. For those who thinking whether to take the car or not, go do a test drive for all the car you aiming for and make up your own mind, don't listen to others, you are the one who going to buy and use it later. I can say Saga is better than Forte, will you go for Saga?

1) Normal
2) Need to report, mine is not the boot but the door to pump oil, need to pull many times only open, forgot to report SC for that, need to go this weekend
3) No such issue
4) Normal
5) Only when the sensor detected the lights, make sure it is turned on, and sensor doesn't block by anything
