Hey guys, i heard that a few units of the Kia Cadenza are already here. The salesman at Menara Naza in KL, took a few pics of the car in their garage. Any idea about the launch date or pricing? Looks quite nice.

can u all show the official link from naza kia for the EWP of Forte cars?? new and current owners..

yea.

But on the webiste, the extended warranty is shown to have a 75K mileage cap after expiry of the initial 50K mileage.

after a week surveying both city n forte forum...i cancelled my city booking n choose forte...the extended warranty really caught my attention.already send documents to sa n going to pay booking fee today. unfortunately no ready stock for white n titanium silver.

thanks, but which part of this document mention that EWP is "N/A for previous forte for the time being. For new Forte yes included"

This EWP program has always been there, just that NazaKia has now widen its scope to incl. KIA Forte.

But the question is, what is the premium?
So, what we heard now is RM600+ for car purchased before 1 Oct 2010, and FOC for car purchased after 1 Oct 2010.

And then came the 2nd question, why is it so? is it because of a year end promotion?

If yes, there should be a timeframe for such promotion.  Meaning to say, will this FOC EWP applicable for car purchased from 1 Oct 2010 to *a certain date*, or it will be part of the Forte package from 1 Oct 2010 onwards?

If it is part of the package, then here's the 3rd question - why so? What's the difference of the product (Forte) sold before 1 Oct 2010 and after 1 Oct 2010 ?

One must remember that, Extended Warranty refers to a guarantee of the reliability of a product under conditions of ordinary use.

Hopefully there wont be shortage (= long wait) due to increase in demand boosted by the FOC EWP.

Exactly, that's why my question earlier, i.e. where it mentioned in the doc  is "N/A for previous forte for the time being. For new Forte yes included"
Thanks.

not sure, you need to ask vandetta_10 himself.

hi bro
i read a lot of 1.6 milleage
hw bout 2.0?
what is the average fuel consumption?
thanks

I also experienced very bad sluggishness and thought it was something to do with the ECU (the car didn't like to downshift). I took it to the service center and got the throttle cable tightened up and suddenly the sluggishness was gone (at least most of it). The tighter cable sort of made the car more responsive.

The interesting thing was that my FC went from ~8L/100km to ~10L/100km for normal driving after the so-called "tuning". I suspect that my right foot became "itchy" after the car became more responsive 

It won't be as lively as a lightweight Vios but it would not be that kind of feeling like it "can't move" at all, especially small hills, etc (assuming that's what you meant as "sluggish").

Hi, the problem is that the Forte 1.6SX comes with 17" rims which is too big for 1.6L engine! Usually 15" for 1.6L (Mazda3, Altis 1.6E), 16" for 1.8L (Civic 1.8, Altis 1.8) & 17" for 2.0L engines (Civic 2.0)

If you put 17" heavy rims on the Vios, you will feel the same effect as the Forte. 

i am so sad , cant be added on =.=

no. OZ forte don't have push start button and cannot add-on as part of the package 

wah lao ur FC so high? Mine 2.0
6.7-7l/100km = HW
9.8l-10.5/100km = city
8.8l/100km = mixed city highway

use ron97 for 2.0.. better.. ron95 in my car the engine knocking is very very bad.. + the sound and vibration coming from the engine is very loud.

I change to simota air filter got improve the FC and acceleration of the car
wanna do proper grounding and some good VS. heard improve FC on some cars.

bro fourteh (or avanteh), already make your choice?
Hi bro Adin, think think think, I think still will go with 1.6SX Clear White. Now only want to think whether want to downsize to 16" or not????     

I have called them regarding the EWP, is a promotion which is given out free to buyer from October 1st until certain period. I force them to give me a answer when they will give EWP to previous owner as well, either top up or whatever, she say will after the promotion.

Besides than call in their care-line, i do Email in as well. This the mail that they reply.

Price not that expensive but does not look good.
