1st post for me on this thread. This network at LYN is the greatest resource for the Forte.. and the most happening!!
I just finished reading thru V7... And that took me awhile. I don't think i can go thru V1-V6.. too long...
I am currently driving a City 1.5 VTEC. But i see the Forte as an upgrade to the City. Now seriously consider a Forte 1.6 SX. The specs are way2 better than the City. Even compared Forte and the Lancer GX 2.0, Forte has better specs.
For my driving style (city driver), seldom go outstation, 1.6 is good enough. Cannot fully utilise a 2.0 anyway.
The current issues for me:
1) Warranty. 2 years is definitely not enough. The number of electronics on board, a failure is bound to happen. We need coverage for that. Yesterday talked with the SA, there is no extended warranty for the Forte as yet. So this is quite a big issue.
2) Resale value. Generally ppl still don't trust KIA. No doubt the Forte is a great car. But not everybody knows that. So still will affect the value..
Now working on getting a 1.6SX.
Any ideas on how to address the issues?
