i vote for go to mr foo service...

can advise schedule of service & type of service for post-2yr/50km ? normally would just go for oil change thats it rite? just want to understand how much we stand to loose (or gain) if really hv to go back SC for the next 5yr or so..

So cy98, have you got yourself a Forte yet or may be you r waiting for the 6 speed.
Pls be honest you r really interested in Forte, you seemed to follow this forum closely.
Anyway, Forte is really a good buy, if maintain well should serve you well for years.
Looking to see u joining the club.

what is the defect?

The defect is located at which part?

dashboard, the cracks started from the radio mounting..please check ur mountings...if the radio is inserted too tightly , cracks will be visible whitin 1 year or months, as the dashboard materials starts to give way.

Hi, I'm wondering did other Kia Forte showing any warning if running out of petrol? My car has traveled 440km since last full tank refill (use ron 97), the "Estimate to Empty" meter showing about 60km more, and the petrol needle indicating at very low level. Anyone else facing this problem?

yup...when it warning u, DTE shown -------
means, u nid refill ASAP...
i think there's a light too, a petrol kiosk light, warn u petrol low, if not mistaken

I can't find the petrol kiosk light when I start up the engine. In manual it stated the DTE shown ----- when lesser than 50km, but the petrol indicator is running very low, i feel worry when driving even though there is no warning light.

Can anyone kind enough to take photo of the low petrol warning and post it here? Thanks~

the DTE ald showed u....
DTE = --------
means, u hv 2 refill fuel ASAP....that's the maybe the one and only warning..

Read ur manual, more focusly, it is all written in the manual,

There is a petrol kiosk light, AND the LCD will show "low fuel" warning. if u not seeing this, either u not low enough in fuel, or both light not functioning which i doubt it will happen.

Today my forte was stuck at the side of the highway..
Ran out of fuel.. somehow the display was not obvious enough for me to notice.. So happily driving until suddenly engine shut down while driving.

A passer by helped by buying me some fuel (1.5 L worth, big mineral water bottle). But after putting in, still not enough to start the engine. Still got the immobiliser sign. So the highway team had to tow to the nearest station.

What is the min fuel level to start the engine?

guys, i wonder can we swap our current 1.6 4spd gb to the new 1.6 6spd gb?
of coz with retune the ECU..

Bro, when is 6 speed coming?

next year, might b Q2 of 2011
