[quote=pg.kia,Oct 10 2010, 07:21 PM]Hi guy! Just wanna ask some questions regarding fc. I think my 2.0SX fc is on the high side....13-14L/100km, reading from the meter for the past 2 weeks. In the 1st week when I got the car, the reading was even worse, 15.5L/100km! So far, I've done 600++km and mostly city drive with average speed of 40-50km/h.
Care to share what's the ideal fc in such driving condition as mine cos' I've read here before some Fortezens manage to achieve 9-10L/100km. Is it normal the fc is high during the 'breaking-in' process for a new car or should I send it to SC?
Regards.

Yours is special edition right?
For average speed 40-50kmph is consider normal. if 50% city and 50% HW then you might get 9-10L/100km or even lower. Actually I feel that my FC went up a bit after 1k sevice (change to fully synthetic Petronas Symtium 3000) but nearly unnoticeable.

yo guys...check this out..is it good??

I don't think just paste few stickers will improve the fc. I rather to have more fc than put on those stickers which are like "power ranger stickers"... shakehead.gif

I'm not being sarcastic I'm just stating the FACTS
The FACTS are WALAN will outsell LANCER & FORTE
top selling cars are noted to be the BEST cars like T cars top selling means = best
low selling cars like Bugatti or Lamborghini are worst cars this is the FACT no?

Malaysia's all time best car?............................ THE SAGA!

the spare parts are OK in malaysia....juz only if there are too many accident regard to careless/reckless Forte driver, spare parts will drain out eventually...
in my case, all spare parts are available, juz only waiting for 3 parts ....front panel, fog lamp and grill. if not by mistaken, either this saturday will arrived or 3rd november will b in KL...
*
For the fog lamp and grill can be soursed from China or ebay....which is more cheaper. For front panel, better to source it thru naza here.


BTW, saw this on ebay;

just to give u a glimpse of how naza aftersales service performing at d moment,got my spicyred baby 3 months back with some freebies like boottray,kia emblems front,back n wheel caps n door visor,2 weeks later,naza launched a promotion for spicy red giving away free smart tag with touch n go card + petrol voucher, i was like whatttt??whyla i didnt buy d car a bit later...

3 months passed,Naza CS called asking for my address,stating that they will be sending a smart tag unit with tng card + petrol voucher which i never haggled upon tho i just missed d promo by 2 weeks, few days later when d package arrived, i opened it n surprised to find out that naza gave rm80 prereloaded in d tng card n rm300 worth of petrol voucher....so total freebies of rm500...talking bout aftersales service rclxms.gif

so i guess naza is striving hard to give us d best possible aftersales service they cud....n im one of d happy customers thumbup.gif

Now Proton is launching Inspira, forte will have a strong competitor for the c-segment. Inspira will out sell every one.
The H & T are probably very worry now. For the first time in 10 years, proton is finally instroduced a decent model. (who care if this a rebadge!)

Dear all potential buyers,

I write in this blog as an attempt buyer to purchase Forte and my experience left me with each and every regret.  To warn the potential buyers of Kia from Penang, especially Juru Autocity branch, i post my recent complaint to Kia HQ for reference below.  I am at a lost here and not sure what I should do.  I hope no one else will suffer the troubles that I been through.

*********************************************************

To Client Management Manager,

I would like to lodge an official complaint towards Naza Kia Juru Autocity branch.  I placed order for Forte 1.6 SX in August and was promised delivery by August 27.  However, the car is not

delivered until now.  Various excuses were used including robbery at Kia, system down, relative sick, consume cough syrup and cannot wake up etc., causes delay until now.  I paid full downpayment through 2 checks, the latest delivered on

24 September 2010.  I have the check number for reference if required to.   This is not the worst, the worst that worries me is I made a mistake to trade in my old Kancil with Kia as part of downpayment for new Forte.  They promised a

bill of sale with second hand car dealer.  I transfered everything including JPJ voluntary ownership transfer form to Kia, by now I have not received any valid documents for ownership transfer.  There is no evidence of second hand car

dealer in play as well.  I am really worried that I have been cheated and my car will be used for unlawful purposes without my knowledge.  Communication with both Kia sales Jaya and her manager Linda broke down.  They

are impolite, nonresponsive and keeps mentioning I do not have anyone else to go to except the sales executive, even to the extend of asking me to be "baik baik" with sales and said I do not have right to put manager in between.  I am so

at a lost here, worried and frustrated.  I regret all decision to transact with KIA and would like to cut off all transaction with KIA, I do not want to buy the car anymore, and I want my Kancil back.  I would like a refund for all

transactions made.  Please help to advice how should I go about doing this.  Thanks.

I feel sorry for your situation. Many fortezens already "kena" with the Kia Juru before as refer to old threads (V1 to V8). You should advice here first before you place any bookings.

Bro SMK, I thought there is a list of "blacklisted" dealers or branchs? maybe we can start in V9.

There were quite a few our forumers here had similar situation like yours..hope they can advice you on this.
