No idea as I didnt call him up today also, however I do hope 2.0 will be roll out ASAP ler
Just spoke to the Puchong branch manager regards of the 1.6, he said allocation has been made (I got my chasis number but I didnt ask for the number tho) and now is just waiting for the K1 document from JPJ, once they (JPJ) have it den registration can be done immediately
He will try his best and expedite it so hopefully can get it before CNY

bear in mind that is ron91. for ron95 FC should be better. same like if you use ron97 (should be better compare to ron95 in term of mileage@km per litre). please do not compare ringgit/km.

pity u lah.. 3 page no one bother.. coz we're all excited on the car allocation/released news.. i help u arrr

Congratulation bro...

K&N 33-2380 Air Filter Bulk Order.
Approximate price is either RM240 - RM250 depends on which seller.

1) Phelix
2) Jimmy.Soo
3) andreslck
4) yhlee12
5) kennyphan
6) jojolcy7

guys, wanna proceed with K&N or try out the brand recommended by bro KFC? a bit tempted by the fact that it's stainless steel, no need oiling compared to K&N...

so finally had to pump petrol after finished at 552.9km balance showing blank indicator when hit below 50km.
pump back in 48.5L of RON95. pumped 45L at JB.

lets take a rounded up figure:

550KM/45L = 12.2KM/L or 8.2L/100KM (JB)
550KM/48L = 11.4KM/L or 8.7L/100KM (KL)

ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO FIND THE SHOP THAT CAN INSTALL THE BODYKITS AND OTHER ACCESSORIES FOR OUR FORTE?

TQ bro n4tea. I will wait until end of this month..or early March the most. If still no confirm news about 2.0 delivery by that time, maybe Forte is not destined for me...

uwaaa... sob sob sob... how about me?
izputra... don't worry, confirmed march but not sure which march... early, mid or end...
better wait until 31/3...
otherwise we convert to 1.6sx together... hehehehe...

Yup, I work in Dell, my car is metal bronze but not with K emblem, still Naza emblem, not going to change it, too expensive, doesn't feel worth the money, rather spend the money with a better tyre if needed.

You also work in Dell? I saw another Forte in here previously, I think it is Titanium silver color.

Im not quite sure...
but i beleive i dont see any bluetooth controller on the steering wheel during my test drive,

but, most of forte review on youtube says this standart feature its a must nowadays...

So... Forte 1.6sx got bluetooth or not...?

I'm thinking red k emblem or black k emblem suitable for this white forte?
then red or black k wheel sticker suitable? arghh..

Hello fellow 4te owner.

Just a quick question. Does all 4te model comes with retractable side mirror?
i noticed the pdf spec sheet says so but i remember seeing the 1.6ex does not have retractable side mirrors. Need fellow 4te owner to justify this.
Thanks.

EX is faster. I think SX is slower a bit. You did this run with 16" wheels, rite?

done my glow session on monday.. i would say the outcome is great.. at least it values for the money...

and the best thing is.. my driver's door has a long ( nearly 30 cm with width half a cm ) scratch got cured during the glow...
else i will complain to naza again for the scartch..

since the fuel consumption is not tat high this car is tempting me to trade in my myvi oledi..

but a KIA is still a KIA after all.. malaysian always prefer toyota n honda..

damn huh

I just recently spills some "wantan mee sauce" on my seats... fabric seats... to say FORTE.. any recommendation to clean it? I　already immediately use water to clean it.. i just scare the sauce seep in ... and i dunwan SIU KEUNG/COCKROACH on my new car

Just got my car . I am very impressed with the sound system. C-H-U-N !!!!!!!!!!

sure you booked your own time ma. I never install bodykit lo.

Plan to buy Kia Forte 1.6SX. 
But wonder will face any stock to delivery problems in this stage?? 
Just call to the Sales Centre in HQ (Jalan Pahang), they inform say they got stock leave.
Actually plan to buy Toyota Vios or Honda City or Used Honda Civic
Please advice in term of:- 

(i) Fuel Consumption
(ii) Spare Part (Replace Smart Keys/ Gear Box/ Timing Belt and etc)
  ** I heard the replacement of the smart keys cost few thousands, it is true??
(iii) Resell Value
(iv) Service Provided Quality After Purchase
(v) Any discount will be given/ freebies ?? 
Thanks in advance!! First time try KIA cars...  Paiseh!! 

i will strongly suggest u go for new SONATA!
dun pay RM100K with 2 years warranty and some more naza after sales is super sucks...

kah bintang is anytime better and safer side than them...

I'm leaning towards that if still got no delivery news for my 2.0 Forte in a couple of week time...the clock is ticking

Added on February 28, 2010, 4:58 pm
I'm also interested in the Optima..but still dont know when this car will reach our Bolehland. cannot wait longer than April. If let say Naza could launch this car in April..perhaps it will end up with the same delivery problem as Forte..who knows. i dont want to take another risk of endless waiting

---

Added on February 28, 2010, 5:04 pm
If true..then it's good. i will settle with Forte then. else..Sonata..here i come 

KFC, really short notice one on last night TT.. or else might join other's who round2 and look without stop... hahahahah
jk.. will join next time..

btw, i saw WTN white in temerloh and QCC spicy red in damansara (heading to 1U) on yesterday.. anyone here?

---

Added on February 28, 2010, 7:23 pm

white and black is solid.. errr.. if not mistaken la..but i can confirm white is solid..

any black magician here can clarify?

Added on February 28, 2010, 7:29 pm

free mystery gifts that is not mystery anymore for first 500 forte buyer..
i feel that you're still under 500 first customer..
what do u mean is "coming"?
my friend working in naza said they're already here in malaysia (also they only know unofficial status).. but only a few.. and maybe mid march is the 2nd batch coming from Korea.
again.. you guys should expect until end of march on the delivery date itself..

How is the FC for your Forte so far?
Mine recorded there 14L/100km, sometimes if hot day the aircond kuat will increase to 15L/100km, this is too much!
I saw some members here can reach 7~8L/100km, how did you do that?
Until now, mine only runned about 270km but finish 1 full tank of petrol roughly RM80, that's about 0.30 per km, quite high leh!!  

What's up Forte-ians..enjoying your cars? Lol..dropping by to see what's new =P
