do you guys wanna know where forte big sister hyundai tucson put their smart key???

answer is here..


some additional photos of tucson 2011.

AFAIK, the rain sensor is not in the windscreen. It is attached to the windscreen. When replacing the broken windscreen, it could be used back, if the sensor is not damaged. I'd read somewhere, someone already done it 3 times (replacing the windscreen and use back the sensor in all occasions). Not on 308 though. Btw. the windscreen for 308 is expensive, around 6K. Insuring 6K will cost you RM900 per year.

naza kia is playing. Honesty level is low. Called them up too..now said pending kastam approval. Simply incompetent if need ceo to do the job. Take too damn long to settle kastam paperwork. Bad biznes practice. It is just bad when they cant offer any visibility when to deliver the car. You think ppl will buy again from them?

Bros..where can i fix the driver's seat squeeking sound?? Since Arul is not around..haiz..

Btw, can any1 clarify for me, when u guys mention the puchong SC, which is it? Coz i see from the naza website, there are 2. one puchong, one kinrara or something..

Tang, this kinrara sc, is it after the Giant Supermarket?

Dude, i'm also driving the 2.0 but after full tank of refuel, i usually get the figure on screen (our meter lah) around 450++ km.
both RON 95 / RON 97 are showing the same figure but the best actual running figure for ron95 that i ever reached is 457km & RON97 is 474km with my fuel will empty at any time....

so, as comparison, the ron97 will have extra mileage for around 20km+/- compare to ron95 for a full tank (based on my driving style & it is 50/50 city & highway).

if compare the petrol price for the full tank of ron97 & 95, obviously ron95 is more cost saving compare to ron97 but to me ron97 feel more power. 
the figure of your 370km is based on screen figure or real running figure?? dont trust the on screen figure too much as it is not accurate and it is very depend on how your right foot step on the pedal...

i did get the figure of 390km+ during my 1st 1k engine break-in period where i keep press hard on the pedal... now on average, in highway i drove around 140 - 160+km/h and normal drive when in city; which brings me to the figure of 450km+ per full tank....
hope this info can help you....

Yo bro...is your door rattling coming from the front passenger side?
Who should i look for in PUchong SC? Mine is coming from the front passenger door... sigh...

guys if interesting can come and buy it tonight.. RM130 only.

This is the 3rd day I drive my Forte. So far, other than the common alignment and vapor problems the rest is just fine, leaves me speechless consider the price I paid for the car. The car is just worth for the $. 

I drove all along the way from Rawang back to home, the car can reach 7.0l/100km in the highway (in average is 14km per liter) this is consider is very good FC! However, the fuel consumption raise on 2nd day I stuck in the jam to the office and the way back (raised to 8.6l/100km). I found some time when the car start move from the still, I have to press the pedal harder (up to 2000x/per minute rev) then the car start shift to next gear. This can be the main reason of higher FC when you were caught in the jam.

The keyless system just so cool! This is one of the must-demo-point when I show the car to my friends.  , meanwhile, this also one of my most worry part also. I do heard about the case that someone have the key inside the car but still manage to lock the door from outside, and he took so much trouble to open the door again. I also heard people installed the car alarm, and the alarm override the key detection system, thus, the car owner accidentally locked the door with his car key inside the car, and he unable to open the door from outside. Not sure if this is related to the first case.

Still a lot of my friends (and my parents friends too!)  having a doubt on Kia brand (huh? Kia ahhh....  ), they not even consider Forte as Kia is never in their radar. To be honest, I'm one of them before, until I really see it, feel it and test drive it. The elegant and stylish design and come with the plenty of the safely features (those even included in the most basic spec!), and good car handling really changed my perception on Kia brand, I can say this is one of the most important milestone for Kia to be the strong contender of Honda, Toyota and Nissan, whom dominate the C-segment car market in Malaysia all this while.  Now the only factor leave is the services of Naza. If Naza can improve their 3S in par as other famous car brand here, I can foresee more and more people will start to consider Forte and other Kia products.

So far, there are only 1 Forte in my company car park, and I'm proud to be the guinea pig here, and I like to introduce my driving experience with my colleagues here. Wish more and more forter appear among us. 

just a question ar..
i saw my colleague start up his engine by just clicking a button and holding down the brake pedal

his fren help him to press the button while he step on the brake pedal

this means that anyone can start the car? wont it be easily stolen then? as we all know, car doors are easy to ply open

what do u sell?

and auto cruise, air bag and power steering...

apa hal ??

Normal. The 4th gear is there for cruising, and when at speeds of 80kmh it's only 1800rpm, mana ada torque?

There's no need for overdrive button as you still need to press it for it to work; might as well just use the shift-tronic to down shift to 3rd gear and rev it all the way up to 3000 rpm. It'll reach 110kmh in no time. And after that if you upshift back to 4th while keeping the gas pedal depressed (keeping revs >3000rpm) you'll fly up to 140kmh very quickly.

However don't expect it crush kidneys or smoke other road users. It is, after all, a family sedan and not a turbo/supercharged machine.

Anyway, you're not supposed to go up to 110kmh in a 90kmh zone

My 2.0 first tank 550KM, refill 51.66l@RM93 when almost empty. really scared me to h3ll bcoz on highway. Second tank 585KM, refill RM88.
Both also petronas ron95, 80%highway 20%city. So far m satisfied with the FC, just done 1k service, will monitor again.
