you wanna bet?.............

Resale value is dependent on the demand. Over here in Australia the resale value for Forte (and other Korean cars with the exception of i30) is appalling. I've only seen 3 other Fortes, 1 Koup, and 2 Souls on the roads so far. Civics and 3s are all over the roads and it's little wonder that they don't depreciate as much; a 3 year old Civic VTi can still fetch 18-19KAUD easily while a 1 year old Forte will cost the same or even less.

Quality wise, it seems that Malaysian and Singaporean Fortes tend to suffer from headlamp condensation problems. I have no such issues with Cera after 2 months with distances of 80km daily. The only issue I have is an occasional but pretty frequent "tick-tick-tick" rattle which occurs when going through rough surfaces. After searching around various forums it seems that it could be (1) gap between the glovebox lid and the dash (2) air con compressor. I tried driving with the glovebox open and it still persists, hence it's likely to be (2). It's not really a major problem as most of the time the rattle is overwhelmed by my music's bass

Calculated FC again for the past week... Same 8L/100km with RON91. Don't think I will try "Premium" RON95 as it costs 20 cents more i.e. an extra 7 bucks weekly which will exceed what I save from a theoretical lower FC.

natural history of naza.........

naza has always discounted their old stocks when sales drop after a couple of years......that's their business model......in the days when cars are launched as kia, and gets nazarised later, that discount is HUGE........

with the possible exception of suria/picanto........even then, before the facelift, it is easy to get a few k off too, but it is a low cost car, so the discounts cannot be much.........

in 2 years, when sales drop, expect significant discounts.........which will automatically devalue you old cars by a similar margin.........

it is best that all buying forte now have the full expectation that the car WILL get 'nazarised' a few years later.......keep the car at least 8-10 years and you will be okay.........

Errr I don't quite understand with the term "Nazarised". Care to explain further?

Well, that's the way it used to be I guess. But I heard this from my SA from Naza World. She said nowadays, if an SA is caught giving discount to customers, they will get sacked. So, it's quite difficult for them to give discounts with that kind of incentive. And this Forte is already "nazarized" from day 1, coz it's launched as Naza Forte, not Kia Forte. So i guess the price couldn't get lower than that right? And I believe the management have taken a change for the better, as they couldn't be so stupid to not learn from their past mistakes.

I have faith in them, as all the moves that they made nowadays with the Peugeot and Kia brand, I believe they will go a long way from the "old" Naza. I mean, give credit where it's due man. Which car company in Malaysia can sell good cars such as the Forte and Peugeot 308 Turbo at the current price tag? At the very least, they give us another option to ponder upon, other than Toyota, Honda and Nissan (and the national car makers as well).

I'm also fell so 'happy' with naza
loan approved+pay down payment+get chassis number+car have arrived at showroom+can't sleep waiting for register = SA give to other customer
(reason not aplied am bank loan )

hahahahah naza the best

u go langkawi by plane or ferry?? i noe airport got 1 red sexy forte.. nt sure 2.0 or 1.6 de coz din go dw c.. tat day i rent car and return car the forte still there...

lesson in history..........

about 10+ years ago, nazakia brought in a 2.5l mpv called the carnival as cbu from korea, and sold it for rm170k........a few years later, they 'localised' the car, ckd in msia with some local parts, and was given 'local car' status, with cheaper duties.........and relaunched the mpv as the ria priced at 90k.........

overnight, people who bought carnival finds the second hand value of their car dropped by 70k...........

this has been repeated several times since.........

this is called nazarisation.........
