Finally got my Forte today..driving whole day till now..
hmm some minor defect spotted..
1. ESP light keep showing off.
2. Fog lamp condensation? its normal.?
3. Seat belt indicator is off even tho i didnt put on seat belt.
4. Alignment of the car is totally off.

Between, replace the naza to kia emblem.
Try use the dental floss method but its just too hard..in the end i use a screwdriver cover with cloths gently remove it..

Guys, which SC is the best for car alignment and ESC problem..i am in KL area..

When to SC @ Setapak today,for them to check the wheel alignment and ESC issue..
almost 4hrs later i come and collect the car..
they told me that ESC issue cant fix at the moment..haiz..

ha ha.... I just back down from Pikes Peak and had to save my relative from their kaputted Toyota .... sheez. Anyway just to let u guys know Forte's AutoGearbox gear ratios are designed very well - for MOUNTAINS! yeh! if u ever wondered why we have a short 1st gear & a long 2nd gear now u know!

ic.. no wonder y i felt my forte can do better in climbing the hill compare to my previous city..
2.5~2.7k rpm can go up to 70km/h compare to 3k rpm previously. one thg bad is can feel the change of gear.. hahaha.. ofcos can not complain cos forte worth so much compare to a city or dugong

The ESC is always OFF..when u start the car..suppose to be On.
These are some of the defects which occurs in the Forte, not all but some

1) Jalan Tandang is good (no complaint from others yet + from customer lounge can see clearly all works done by their mechanic)
2) Kepong offer good price for 1st service (below rm200 for fully synthetic - but dunno if this only applicable to their customer who purchase with them or anybody can get the same price)
3) Puchong SC sucks (cannot fix alignment)
FYI there's 2 Puchong SC main one is near IOI Mall LDP corner to Sunway Toll - Avoid this SC
2nd is at near Kinrara Golf Club - Puchong to Bukit Jalil road. If u coming from Sunway go straight pass Petronas left. then u see Shell opposite road on right abit further u'll see the KIA SC.... u need to make u-turn back to get there. Kinrara Industrial Area.....
Naza Service Branches

KIA SC KINRARA

Pardon of my ignorant... where is Pikes Peak ? Because the Pikes Peak I drove up 3 x before is definitely not around here and Driving Forte up there will be super duper fun. A bit off topic but here is a clip of WRC on Pikes Peak...

here is called BUKIT TINGGI
they did a run up last yr came out in mags too u donno meh!
also the section to japanese garden much steeper than genting
short straights steep winding up & down very fun.....

Common issue, ESC OFF light indicator is on right after car start but i dun see any LYN Forte members got the issue.
