Added on July 7, 2010, 11:33 amI am so angry now.
My car loan approved.
Paid deposit last week.
But now my car dealer said no titanium silver 1.6sx now. Have to wait for one month. She said now all red colour FORTE.

So, I called Naza Kia JB. The staffs there check and told me there are plenty of titanium silver 1.6 sx ready stock in RAWANG.

Aiks...so anyone can advise me what should I do next ?

Or the car dealer just want to delay some time because I trade in car with them ?

It shows that 2nd hand Forte are also hot selling now if someone going to sell it & the resale value also high some more, just less 5k than the original price for 2009 car  thumbup.gif

that is the value of the owner selling, the real value is, if u sold it 2 2nd hand car shops, how much they offer?? that's the real 2nd hand value price....

rule of thumb every year drop 10%... but u might notice the T & H brands tend to buck the trend... that's y market here is so distorted... not fair cause european & korean makes don't have that kind of support..

well let's hope forte is the start for a change
biggrin.gif

i dunno bt that
is up 2 malaysian government

you really ar cari pasal only... but the poll too general d lar previous Kia cars the resell are like crap the ols naza ria also like crap drink petrol like water only
T&H have a better resale basically they have alot of parts available and OEM is just around the corner... and of course alot of service center able to service their car

bad resell doesn't mean a lousy car, bad FC break or down easily .... some times is due to the popularity and the parts available in the market to support the car after the warranty period .

FORTE is too early to judge well thou the 1.6SX at 75k might be sold another intend to sell 70k because desperate seller as long there's a willing seller there's willing buyer then there's a sale!

in fact talking about quality (just keep it here else alot will mogok) FORTE wins hands down compare to Civic, cause this year itself I have 2 new car at home and the purchase process was comparing FORTE vs City vs Vios vs Persona while another was comparing Camry vs Accord vs Lancer vs Civic ... Civic first to be kick out (rather buy FORTE 2.0) but it would be weird if one house 2 FORTE so I MOGOK and you know lar old people still don't feel easy with korean so I say stick with Japs la then, cause he is paying not me!

end up 1 FORTE another was an Accord
and this old man sometimes takes my car for a ride instead cause he is hook with the push start button muahahah actually is a smaller car easier to drive in the city, but damn I service the car accord only reach 1k + mine already 10k !
*
i can't help but agree with u....i think the only generation KIA start to concern abt FC is this generation, from Forte onwards.
NAZA RIA, spectra(not sure with 'S5'), Sephia all makan kuat kuat 1....that 1 i knw...
well, someone posted in my poll, told us is abt brand and certain models, i dun refer to every models....
i did mentioned some brands and models in my poll, thinking those models will hv better resale value...

haha, can't help it.....the push start/stop button.....old man likes it...even my grandpa's C200 compressor 2007 also dun hv...xD
my grandpa now enjoy my rides more than his....too bad, he can't sold it....coz...no 2nd hand value



eh, check this item out!!

Hi to all Forte owners here,

I'm thinking of letting go my current hyundai accent so I can buy forte 1.6 sx. Now to be honest, some of my friend have strongly advised me to not proceed with buying korean cars such as kia since they said after this the resale value will be low ( and yeah i'm using a korean car which the resale value is really low now, for trade in purposes)

From what I can see it the value for money that Forte offers. Plus Forte seems to be the new generation of cars made by Kia

I myself will consider in using Forte for a very long time should I buy it, maybe 3 to 4 years before deciding to change to a different car.

My question to all Forteians here is about spareparts, is it really expensive compare to Honda, Nissan, Toyota or any other japanese cars that is in the same class with Forte? (assuming Honda civic, toyota altis and nissan sentra is the same class with Forte)
*
I think Honda civic is much more expensive than Forte, especially it's dashbox, if 1 component rosak, gonna cost a bomb, coz digitalized ald....
Toyota Altis, can consider normal, but frankly tell u, workmanship price/labour charges in toyota SC are really killing me...
nissan sentra, consider i think cheaper than Forte, the workmanship price not high, thus the parts are easy 2 find too..
Latio and Slyphy will b a different story...

Hey bro....so are we the few lucky ones to have the jerking issue?

Its starting to get on my nerves sometimes. Sometimes, its not so obvious. But occasionally, its kinda bad and very noticable. The jerking is mainly felt betwwen 40-60km/h.

My question to all sifus.....is it really a problem or just the character of the car? If i want to get out of the jerking/sluggish feeling, i need to press hard on the accelerator pedal till the car gains momentum.....haih.....At times, the jerk is also felt at downshifts

This is really destroying the otherwise fine driving pleasure
*
can define sluggish feeling??
i juz take to SC checked this afternoon, they check the ECU, shows no error....WTF!!! wat hv jerking do with ECU??
lots of website refers to problem with ATF.....

To cheer up the day, let's view some pics of vapored headlamps.  blink.gif

It happened to me for the 3rd times, and I've accepted it as a "norm" for our Forte.
*
Alor Setar ald hv 1 headlamp which ald claimed, but SC asked that customer to test for 6 months, to confirm no this problem again, cause if happen again, can't claim, as the agreement signed.
if no problem, i guess all our headlamp will b imported again...currently that customer's ''new headlamps'' are in beta stage...hehe
