just to add my humble opinion for 2.0SX...
afternoon i drop by JB branch to have a look on the 2.0SX and perhaps for a test drive...
once enter to the showroom, there's a black 2.0SX. without wasting any time i straight proceed for it, open up front bonnet, 2.0 engine was nice to view, but feel lack of finishing quality, the engine cover was like not match for it, material of the plastic was

... btw, since the engine will always cover by the bonnet, nvm, just ignore it...
get into the driver seat, leather seat is comfortable enough, driver's meter are nice, center console is nice, just the passenger side air bag cover was letting me down, the leather used on it was too rough, a bit like fake, but still can accept, since the car selling for 93K... the 2.0 door panel looks more boring than 1.6, because the leather color is almost same like the plastic, different from 1.6SX which u can feel some color and texture on it...
once i move into rear passenger seat, here's the fun part begin... when my head looking straight is the headrest of driver seat, the finishing of the leather wrapping was CRAP! misalignment to left, looks like some kiddo doing for the wrapping and no QC at all? nvm, maybe this is one in the hundred, so i look around at the rear seat...
but later i accidentally found out there's a BIG BUBBLE on the rear left door panel leather. the bubble portion was DAMN GAO BIG, not 20 or 50 cents, is more than half of my palm size!
niama, 1st i tot is a design or something, i look at my right door, it seems nice, solid and flat, then look at the left again, i was

!!! dunno wanna laugh or not, i do help a bit on it, push in the big "bubble" in and it become better a bit, become smaller, but the problem still there...
after that i get out from the car, look around rear boot, that time no mood to go detail already, just feel that finishing quality is still not there...
later chit chat a while with SA then cabut...
my comment on forte is, nice design and comes with a lot of gadgets, but the quality is letting me down, even small things like warping leather also

, some more is CBU units... gadgets on this car will last long or not still no ppl know, but initial finishing quality was so so only...
some will said T&H use more cheaper plastic or bla bla bla, but the build quality is way better even is CKD model, there's still some complaint on it but based on the total volume around the market, the fail/complaint percentage was low.
but for this forte 2.0, just few hundred in malaysia, and this the only stock in JB, already got these silly defects... oh my CBU car, does this really a CBU? or KIA QC is sleeping and NAZA didnt hav any QC when they receive stock?
good luck for forte buyer, hope KIA QC will improve on this, if not, there is also no hope on local SC, since they are more lousier then korean... try to imagine those TSC or bla bla bla breakdown, do u will know it or the naza ppl is skill-full enough to overcome all the gadgets in the car?
before this i was on 50% on city, 50% on forte for my coming purchase... now city all the way, although is smaller, 1.5 and less gadget, but the finishing quality is way better...

picture to prove or GTFO.
u have posted few times here and always u have ur point about city is better but no prove.
we don't know who wrap the leather, local or wrapped and imported here so we can only judge it's naza QC issue if that's real.
and talk about resell value always, ppl who bought forte already knew that fact so don't need to keep on repeat that thing again and again.
u wanna go for ur city all the way thank you and enjoy ur ride if u assume paying few k less to get a 1.5l vs 2.0l, normal fabric vs *problem* leather seat, no ESC vs *u assume got issue infuture* ESC, B segment car vs C segment car, 2 airbags vs 6 airbags, single disc player vs 6 cd player... etc.
