For those owners in Penang island, which service center do you go to? What do you think about their service?

I'm staying in Bayan Lepas area, the only KIA service center that i am aware of is the one at sungai dua, near to Kuey Tiao T'ng.

Will be getting my car next Monday/Tuesday, waiting for my preferred number at JPJ only

iridium spark plugs and air filter?

how much is Llumar Crystal 5 ?

I think Ecotint the best one is Ray Barrier, lots of good comment about it. Of coz, the price too

Guys,
Update 1: 3/6, 9.30am. BULK ORDER DOOR VISOR CLOSED ! As, i think we hardly can get 50 pax. In order not to disappointing you guys i decided to CLOSE THIS BULK & proceed with 50 pcs 's ORDER in order to get this price of RM 60. Therefore, got some left. You guy can still put in your name up to 50 pax.

Things to take note:

This is DIRECT BUKL order from CHINA Supplier & import process is complicated. RM 60 include vessel shipping fees + customs tax+ 5% gov sales tax. Please take note that this is trading process where custom & sales tax is properly declare.. The process need about 2-3 weeks (estimated) for the goods to reach CHN port warehouse-->Port Klang--> Penang. As usual, i will update from time to time on the stock movement. Pls be patient..

Hi guys,

I'm new here..

Just to inform all of you that I'm selling Complete Bodykit (PU) for KIA Forte. Please PM me for the details. I can sure that the price is really competitive to others.

Thank you.

bros u dun mind me asking, where is the chamber located and i notice many forte owner claim.... hmm.. worrying now.....

wow! the thread version 7. It was version 1 when I commented in the forum. Anyways, I was wondering whether is there any promotion available for forte 1.6sx in Penang Island. I'm looking to buy a car. I was in the progress to get new city with 5K discount (kang tau) and interested rate about 2% something (that time before the interest hike) ..then didn't buy...

because of some other cars like forte, pug 308 sedan (waiting) and fiesta sedan (waiting) have better features and specs to H, T, N and reasonably priced... maybe I'm taking a risk with their "servicing service"

Also I didn't see much major and frustrating complains from Forte owners compared to last time's 1st generation proton Gen2...probably I should go buy forte

wow congratulations! may i know how long you need to wait for your car?
i saw this...i thought PG also go this kind of promotion..

i wish i had a free gps from sa

Let's not generalise and bash other Japanese rivals. Toyota, despite its "boring" image, produces good cars that suit the market's demands and hence it is why they reign in the respective segment.

As for the negative points of the Forte, I shall copy and paste once again:
1. No auto-up function of the driver side window.
2. Slightly short rear bench which compromises thigh support. An additional 2cm would be sweet.
3. Torque dip from 2nd to 3rd gear. Easily resolved by shift-tronic mode, but somewhat annoying in full automatic. Some automotive forums have mentioned that Kia offers an ECU upgrade/tweak to improve this aspect, not sure whether Kia Australia provides this or not.
4. Brakes don't bite as well as the Civic does. Nor does it steer as well.
5. The superb noise suppression which offers good NVH somehow makes the exhaust note lack umph.
6. Lack of storage compartments at the rear doors; and the rear door plus boot lid seem to be too light and thin.
7. Horrendous resale value (at least for now) which it doesn't deserve.
