Just for info:

New Kia Forte 1.6SX - RM 81,800
10 month old Forte 1.6SX - RM 70,800

Drop in resale value = 13% in 10 months. Quite OK i guess.

Read my post above before commenting. Ure again making a fool out of yerself (as usual) 
Its difficult to judge any car for the first 2-3 yrs. Even a Vios loses alot in the first 3 yrs. If u want a real comparison, do it for cars 5 yrs and older.

Drop 10k in a year.. RP 81k now 70k [don forget this is used car stil can be negotiated!!!!!!!!!!]

The price range of Elantra's always been around 80-100k..
My mom owned the last gen Elantra (x19) ..no problems for 10 whole years...
so have a lot of exp on korean cars.. sold it off at a very good price too..

Go CITY forum and see how I bash my own car. 

Nola,now no problem already.THe only problems were bad FC in city,bumpy ride,and poor NVH,poor pickup(not as bad as Forte though),at high speeds,it flies though.

But now kinda used to it after a year with the car.So yeah,I got used to it.

Xion, yes i agree that the Forte is more 'solid' than a Vios.

But u need to remember 3 things also. Firstly, as i said in an earlier post, your accident was not a major accident. It was a minor frontal side impact with a motorbike which was travelling at not more than maybe 50kmph when it hit you. If you had been in a direct frontal accident with a car at that speed the results would have been far different.

Secondly, you cannot judge the solidness of a car by just looking at bumper and radiator damage. Strength of a car is not judged by the strength of the steel. The strength is judged by the ability of the car to absorb the impact and dissipate the energy before it reaches the passenger cabin. So if u see a car thats badly smashed up in the front it doesnt matter. What matters is that the passenger cabin is still intact.

Thirdly, the NCAP ratings have been modified in 2010. The Forte was rated based on the older ratings which most of the new cars got 5 stars anyway. For instance, the Ford Fiesta got a 5 star NCAP rating in 2009 but only got a 4 star rating in 2010 with a special Government concern relating to its side impact zone. Even the Camry didnt do well in the latest NCAP ratings.

Cheers!
