HI all,

I was trying to purchase a Forte. For some reason i think KIA has been hiring some very bad sales. I am from Penang, when i visited first showroom at Crystal pt, the sales gives me a feeling of suspicious that he tried to get us to put deposit whatever it takes. My wife do not like it so we went to the second one at Greenlane. Lagi teruk the sales fist leaves me and my wife alone under the hot sun alone to serve another guy that comes in later than us. And when i ask him why does the wheel (actually its the metal disc directly expose beneath rim, where normally break pad press on top, i'm no expert in cars dunno what that calls) appears rusty? He looks at me and say right to my face "you are not a car buyer, everyone knows rusty surface is good car". ??!! i walk away directly.
In short, i like the car, but i really dislike the sales. They fail even as a simple information giver, whatmore they "suan" the customer. The Honda sales are professional, even Perodua sales are much better.

I had almost the same experience. I also went to the showrooms you mentioned. The Greenlane one was the worst. He's a conman! In the end I ended up in Autocity and I booked from the guy whom I think is a little better. I think it is just our luck, we don't have good SAs here in Penang. To me Naza is out to make big bucks and that is all. It's sad they are the distributors of Forte.

Thanks for the advice. That greenlane guy is conman ke? Good to kow that and let more buyers know not to go there. I would go over to Autocity this weekend and have a try there. I hope they would give me some confidence in purchasiing this car. I mean, if before buying this is the treatment i get, i can only imagine what would i get after purchase. I heard there is another branch at Mecalister road too, may be pay them could be better as well? If you know of any good SA around Penang please let me know. All in all, i like the car, just not the sales. Thanks and appreciate it.

Worse case here, my SA never bother about me, never called me after i paid downpayment until the car was gotten after 1 month and with unlimited empty promises and excuses, like sick in hospital, handphone sent repair etc.
The promised emblem also did not give me on the car collection day, she empty-promosed will purposely drive to my work place to install the emblem. But then as usual, no news and i had to call her. In the end the emblem changed to refund RM80, i took for deal as i wanted to stop dealing with her anymore, however until today money still not in my bank yet, after 3 months.

I was thinking whether to make aduan to the consumer ministry or not, however have not had the time to do so.

Anyway, that was on 100% dissatisfaction on SA, but i'm still 100% satisfied with my forte after 3 months smile.gif

In conclusion, never buy your Forte at Juru branch from a female SA.

Oh NOOO!! I just made a booking with her... The name is Jaya right?
