Anyone has a personal opinion as to what 'a fun car to drive' means? Handling? Speed? ICE? NVH?

Is your forte 'a fun car to drive'?
I don't want to feel bored driving 3 hrs to-back from work dly.

buy only or buy + register?
aisey need to go to jpj & show them the email to re-confirm...

may i know the forte selling now is still CKD or CBU??
i heard that is CBU alr.... is that true?

haiyaaa .. just beginning to eye other cars. Now eyes back on forte coz alraedy waited months. 

Oh no .. some reliabilty concern here. 

one more question....
the test drive car that u all went to test drive is purely test drive car or is stockroom car??
i went to SP KIA branch test drive right.... they jt use the selling car = stockroom car to let me test drive....

not like other got special test drive car for us to test..... is that true ma??

the car is realy worth for money.... but my parents strongly disagree ..... said better get rid of the korea car.... hahhaa all bcoz of kia spectra....
coz my wife's uncle use it.... he jt goyang kepala when listen KIA.....

Hey guys! I'm looking for a second hand car so Spectra is in my list of consideration as it's pretty affordable for a, say, year 2004 model.

Want to ask if it's a good car worth buying 2nd hand? How's the fuel consumption like? Does it give you much problem? Easy/hard to maintain and is the cost high?

aiks i got confused suddenly tot i was in SPECTRA tread pulak....... phew lucky its still Forte hahahaha

Whoops! Sorry for the confusion, where better to ask than a Kia (Forte) thread right? Hah FC is bad huh. Thanks for the heads up!

Hey folks, regarding the Autofoam, I'd like to know if you need to book a slot or not if going to KL Auto (for instance like Sierra Glow)? I'm staying in Penang so can only make one trip to hear about the packages and do installation....

I also have the common door rattling issue, who are the best people to solve this issue (the SC ppl don't look experienced at Forte, dunno what will happen if they open it up)? The other issue was car cushion noise, but after sending 2x to SC they agreed to order new seat to replace...

Been enjoying my car so far, but the only bad thing is that it seems to attract "Scratchers". Park somewhere and I'll come back to find scratch marks made out of coin or key...
Actually before my ride came I kept calling my SA to push and hoping her to call. Sometimes she din answer and it ended up with me making average 5-10 calls per day. Then I noticed: "damn, worse than tackling girl"

I googled it up.. but end up with a "UD".. is it a colour code?

other cars they have check engine whereby the lights will go off before we start the engine

how come our Forte does not have this function?

Normally I just depress brake & push button. If do what you suggested, The 'Push Button' is not special anymore, so mafan.

dielor........ no wonder no chicks wanna come in my car cause NO START BUTTON!
now i know why!

Played around with photoshop and gave Cera a facelift... stuck K5's bumper onto it and now Cera has LEDs

bro, think another way round.
this is a real good bodykit for forte...

hav u save the station by pressing eg button "1" for more than 2 secs?
if the prob persist i think u better to hav it check by ur sc.. It shouldnt b so.

of cos i did set the FM station when i get my car. This only happen after the 1st service. 

update my tragedy with your guys.

Just now, send my car to NAZA KIA SC at Johor Bahru and feedback about my car full of rattling sound. After wait nearly 2 hours, SC people call me and told me that i needed to put my car over night for they to do inspection & fix for those rattling noise.

really "WTF!!!!"....

hope my car can be fix by tomorrow~

the tint was done by my SA. free from him. then i found out the sound on 3rd days after driving it.

my previous car(myvi) also full with RATtling sound, that y i trade in it and change to forte, who knows my Forte also give me same problem...

really upset~~

can some1 reply to my earlier msg, as to which is recommended: sierraglow or ?

Hi, does anyone here encounter the situation where your Forte is parked under the hot sun for quite awhile and once you turn on the aircond, it takes a good 20 - 30 mins before the car actually becomes cool?

I have been experiencing this (I just got my car about a week ago) and it only seems to happen when the car is parked under the hot sun (I know you will need some time before the car becomes cool but 20-30 mins?? [and sweating during that time?!]) and the aircond seems to be 'alternating' between hot and cool air.

I'm going to bring this up at the SC but just want to know if anybody had this prob and if so, what seems to be the issue.

What are the differences with SG, PPS and Nano besides the waiting list? i;ve already booked a slot for SG for 6th April. so not too long away. Need to know on the effects of the product itself

mine is ok. maybe is I already apply tint.
my old car without tint, also need about half hr to cool down.
trick to faster cooldown, open your car windows for 1-2 minute while driving. let the hot air go out, then aircon will cool faster.
