guys, just visit singapore cerato forte forum and find that they still having windscreen crack problem. Will our forte face this problem?
according to them, they still can claim from C&C (singapore kia dealer??)
If unfortunately face this problem, will NAZA claim for us? If not then how?
tomorrow going to take my new forte after waiting for a month after booking...  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif
Do your guys add on windscreen insure on car insurance? hmm.gif

i believe the cracked windscreen defect has been corrected, and all new cars after the end of 2009 should not have this problem anymore......certainly no such incident with msian forte so far..........

how much one can spre, or willing to spare, for buying cars and it's maintainance is very subjective........

some are quite willing to spend a big chunk of their salary, and eat nasi lemak everyday.......

some would be more prudent and start off with cheap 2nd cars and save or invest the extra...........

up to you.........

called the careline........as usual, given the runaround again.........said not allocated.........and will be doen by 2nd week of April........refused to give queue number, and when asked about why people who booked later has already got their allocation, just say that it's the jop of the 'stock dept' to do that and they don't know why.........

then twisted to asked if 'full payment' made.........when pointed out nobody will give full payment without the car, said 'full payment' is balance between loan and full price........implied only people who have paid 'full' will be allocated early.......

p/s thay called back, and now said that i am only allocated 2nd batch, no.4 in queue........hmmmm.........sa promised 1st batch which is c*u........

Thanks for all the replies so far. Basically, I have been observing the situation for the past few days. I have 2 temp settings; (1) 23C, re-circulate, and (2) auto, lowest. The problem does not go away.

I understand that under the hot sun the cabin needs some time to cooldown. However, usually it should take about 1-2 mins before the aircond starts blowing cool air and thereafter, it will take about 4 - 5 mins before the cabin cools down (I am using my previous Myvi as a benchmark).

But in my Forte and in either settings, the air will be on max but it would be warm. If the windows are down, it would help make the cabin more bearable but not cause the aircond to blow cool air.

Strangely enough, in the mornings when I leave my house or at night, when I leave my office, the aircond has no problems...in fact, it would be freezing when I set the temp at 23C.

Sensor prob? (bila panas, aircond panas, bila sejuk, aircond sejuk)...hehehe
*
i suspect it has something to do with the sensor fault.....

btw, kia cars comes with aircon designed for temperate climates, and has heater function.........which can be annoying sometimes when you want to set a higher temperature after cooling the car down, and it will turn on the heater.....

the heater actually comes from hot water from the radiator system piped into the aircon unit..........this can be disconnected from the aircon by short circuiting the hot water hoses..........this will permanantly disable the heating function............i have done this with my old sportage.........

You booked from a branch or a dealer ? Would like to know coz my story is .... my SA don't want my downpayment (yet) even when I offered to pay. Maybe coz i don't have any allocation yet? ... even in 2nd batch. shocking.gif

branch.........why would you want to part with your hard earned money in return for nothing?........i feel even the downpayment demand is unreasonable......

my friend say he go test drive with few car expert....then say forte is power less then kelisa

the 1.6 is underpowered.........and does feel more sluggish that smaller cars like myvi or vios.......

the correct engine is actually the 2.0l, with a 2.4l version (available in us, oz) for those who want more ommph........

unfortunately, the msian car market is skewed, so manufactureres always market their cars with a lower powered engine to make the cost within reach of the population.......that's why you have 2l camrys and accords here......they don't exist in us for example.........

but we are not the worst........do you know there is a 1.0l avanza (it's called daihatsu xenia) in indonesia.......?

what's the big deal with leather seats anyway?........i actually prefer good quality fabric......the only good thing about leather is that it is easier to clean.......that's why airasia used leather for all their aircrafts seats........

if not for the fact that the 2.0l comes with leather, i would never have bothered to wrap on new leather covers........

yea yea yes. Now i can have a comparison on Rondo 2.0 Theta vs Forte 2.0 Theta II engine in term of FC. I got a very stable 10.1L/100KM and is now clock at 24k KM.. Full tank is always pumped with 50L = RM 90. Can clock 460-480KM per full tank on PG island drive only..
*
you cannot compare rondo with forte lah..........1.4+ vs 1.2 ton.........you are actually moving an extra 250kg of steel around with you.......that's like having 4 full size adult with you all the time............

from all the posts frm LYN forummers here, I assume that most 2.0sx have been allocated with chasis nos. Only differs in delivery date, see who lucky.

i called careline today, and they will only confirm allocation, but refused/said doesn't know the chassis no. of my allocated car............why is there always variations in the responses of the naza staffs?..........
