but suddenly another car pulak cilok masuk... potong stim betul...

Cerato Forte is No1 ; E-Class in Top 10

By Samuel Ee

SINGAPORE - After the first three months, Singapore's top model among authorised distributors is still Korean but this time, it's a Kia, not a Hyundai. More interestingly, a Mercedes-Benz is the fifth most popular model.

The Kia Cerato Forte is now No 1. Since this pretty 1.6-litre sedan's debut in late January 2009, its looks and affordability have allowed it to race up the charts with 826 units delivered in the first quarter of 2010.

The Cerato Forte had ended 2009 as the third most popular model among authorised distributors, after the top model Hyundai Avante and runner-up Toyota Corolla Altis.

With the Kia's strong performance from January to March 2010, however, the Avante is now No 2 and the Altis No 3.

But for Cycle & Carriage Kia senior manager Chin Kee Min, the big surprise is the Kia Koup, the coupe version of the Cerato Forte. The Koup is entering the Top 10 with an enviable No 5 year-to-date ranking (417 units). Amazingly, half of that number was delivered in March alone.

'The Koup is really a surprise,' said Mr Chin. 'But I suppose that as a 1.6-litre two-door model, there is no competition.'

He said the Koup's success shows that there is a demand for a coupe if its price is accessible.

'Many people still aspire to own a lifestyle car,' he added.

The strikingly styled Koup is also available with a 2.0-litre engine but the 1.6-litre variant accounts for virtually all sales.

Together, the Cerato Forte and the Koup make up a whopping 91.5 per cent of Kia's Q1 registrations.

But with rising COE premiums, both Kias are less affordable than they used to be three months ago. They now cost about $10,000 more than in January. The Cerato Forte currently starts from $65,999 - from just under $55,000 previously - while the Koup starts from $76,999.

In general, the Top 10 list of models has been jumbled up more than the balls in a Toto draw. The Honda nameplate has disappeared from the ranking altogether. The once popular Civic has dropped out as its list prices started soaring.

So has the Nissan Latio, although it has been replaced by another Nissan, the Sylphy (391 units).

Instead, the Mazda3 has come from nowhere to park in the No 4 spot. The attractively priced model is the highest-placed Japanese car on the list.

Another novel entry is the E-Class at No 5. This is despite the luxury model from the brand with the three-pointed star costing three times more than the top model.

Hi! Sugen,

May we know weather the mud flap can be fit after BK installed?

Based on S'pore site, mud flap not suitable for cars with BK.

Below is captured from Sgcarstyling

Cerato Forte Mud Guard
[SGC-CF7] $48.00


Made of high quality PP,same material as original
Protects your car from dirt and swirl mark and stone chips
Cash and carry,unpainted, necessary screws are given for installation
Not suitable for cars with bodykit

nope.. not suitable for BK installed.. infact, any stock mud flaps also can't fit with BK installed..

hi guys,
i want to ask about average speed mine is always showing average speed 20-35km/h when i speed and maintaining 80km/h is also 20-35km/h any ideas guys

Stupendous stupido question:
Does the engine break-in work at 0 km/h? I mean revv it up to redline at gear P or N.

Don't have car yet ... PUSPAKOM check.. blabalabla.

Over 2000 units of Forte?
