As I said, I have spent 5 weeks plus until now still haven't got my car ready. So yesterday I went to the showroom where my car stock located in jb. Guess what ... My car exposes under hot sun n downpour outside the showroom without any shelter. Disc brake and wheel caps got rusted and paints are dirty and full of oily hand marks and shits. And this is what they promised me to keep my car inside while waiting for all the documents. I saw a delivery memo stated it was sent on 8 nov. WTH exposing my car under this kind of weather for more than 20days. I would never treat my car like that. Waste my time. Somemore I purposely went there even downpour and the outlet was closed by the time I reached there around 4pm. I doubt they didn't even open but as I known naza should open their branches 365days. I was getting mad and nag the SA to reject the car as it was like being SM before I saw it myself. Sands are inside rear seats and they are not wrapped properly just like demo cars I saw in other showrooms. I'm fed up already. I recorded my car condition as an evidence and if they gave me other surprise again, I'm going to send it to TTPM and media. I thought of uploading it in YouTube for others awareness but the clip is full of vulgar words I used. laugh.gif
Damn angry now for another delay again.

How do you know the Koup is launching? Any pictures taken from the Port.
Or is this just for the KLIM?
Pls check or confirm before saying.

i've seen it from the port with Kia emblem and it discharge during the weekend on new units for more then 100. Took the picture, but will not disclose here yet due to privacy.

Thanks.

It's your right not to get the demo/showroom car. Perhaps u can ask for other unit. But it might drag more on your waiting time...

Actually it is a wide practise by the dealers to stock a new car in an open/expose space. I saw other brands dealers (i.e. Proton, Perodua, Nissan & many more) also stored their new cars in an open space while waiting to be delivered. The only think that differs is your dealer promised to place your car at a covered space (since it already reached the showroom) but they didn't keep their promise & to some extent demoing your car to other prospect. In this case, the SA/dealer are to blame.

QUOTE(titarium @ Nov 29 2010, 11:27 AM)
Ok GAGILANG just to clarify some matter , I know you are frustrated but would like to put a few item straight else someone might misunderstood. All Naza branh or SC (even any other car sales room) doesn't operates 365 days, please check with the PIC for opening hours and days(especially weekends and Holiday season), some times branch is close because they have road show some where.

Disc brake rust can be wear off once you starts to drive and breaks, it is normal .

If your sales person promise to place your car in door, then is really their fault not completing their promises.

For all car delivery we are expecting the sales person to clean up before delivery , as for my case the boss is good enough to place it under shades and offer cleaning before delivery. I bought my car in KL .

Do upload your findings and claims to alert other member how bad is this branch or sales person, this would alert any future buyer and HQ to be caution.
*
Ya i know disc brakes will get rusted once it left for sometimes but not those wheel caps area. They are all caused by rain & water stains. I can't pretend myself for not saw anything and blind one eye to get the car. Yes, they can provide cleaning for the car yet if something being treated this way, how could i stand for it as they promised me, this kind of petty buyer, to park inside the showroom. That's frustating. In addition, they should have brain to think to let a white colour car expose under rain, even they use any branded chemical to clean n polish, some stains are non-removable in some tiny area. And i suspect they ever use the car. There are 4 cars outside the showroom with dirty windscreen (caused by dirts) , but 3 of them front windscreen never wipe. but mine was wiped. If my car really park there for waiting me to collect, so what is the point to wipe my windscreen using the car wipers and yet the car still so dirty? anyway, what i can say now is, that is not my car anymore. Errr..... So now i need to give another weeks for them to re-register a new one for me. Fed up...

Yeah u r right. But the car he confirmed to me was not a demo car BUT now the car leave outside and being molested by public, so no different with demo car. I rather take longer time since i have been waiting them for more than a month and i won't received good in this kind of condition since i have wasted my time waiting. They to be blamed but Naza has the reponsibility to take care of their people. Without good services, i think most of the consumers will just step back.
I can understand that my moeny is not earned by the other branch so they will just anyhow handle my car. Even my Ipoh SA phoned them to clean nicely for me, but no money work i dun think they will do them nicely. I reject the car now better than reject it after all my registration done. haiz.......

DTE before

Manual Calculation (refuel 42L full tank)

604KM / 42L = 14.4KM/L

or

100 / 14.4KM/L = 6.9L/100KM


DTE After (next refuel)

But since so many problems with NAZA reported here making me to reconsider. No doubt Forte is a good car but the after sales service is so poor.

after service poor... don't service with them... service outside with your trusted mechanic...
a lot of 3rd party KIA SC outside... ori spare part no issue can buy from jln ipoh/segambut with cheapest price...

gagilang, be patience....
even though they put it that way, by the time u get ur car, sure 100% OK 1....mayb they will repaint(if ur car paint currently faded), dirts(sands as quoted) will b vacuumed, and disc brakes will be restored while u start driving for few days(perhaps hours??) coz they made a promise 2 u that the car will deliver 2u nice and sound...

as 4 my matter, jerking issue, still nt yet solve, as i juz serviced my car juz now...wonder wat problem causes it. the new FSEO(Full Synthetic Engine Oil) is much more better than the previous mobil FSEO..(heard that mobil FSEO used in kancil/myvi 1)...from my dad's mechanic. The seat problem will let SC solved later, as i need 2 use the car.

YIPEE!!!! Finally installed Shark Fin Antenna!!! Looks like 'BMW' now...hehe

To avoid any disappointment, i requested a new one. Just spend more time to get it since i have been waiting for so long.
I do not have much knowledge on engine oil but i know fully synthetic oil is the best cuz even run empty the engine still can operate because my tutor tried it in his bmw before. laugh.gif But i read some articles for break in methods and one of them stated that when within run in period, fully syn eo is not recommended because they are too smooth and affect the oil ring to sit in properly.
How much the total damaged for the fin? I saw those previous thread for the picture and it's cool. I hope to get one too if within my budget. smile.gif

Guys. I'm back from Puchong SC. Handed the car key at 10.25am, and received the key back at 4.00pm. And I spent my whole day at the SC.

You guys want to know what kind of item they change that took them so long to repair my Forte?

Just a set of the goddamn spark plugs. And my Forte is good to go.

doh.gif Heard from the Service Rep. saying that my spark plugs (I've sent my Forte for 30k servicing 3 days ago) got dent due to manufacturer defect (or maybe d technician dropped my spark plugs and simply sumbat w/o checking) , so explain the loss of power and jerking.

I mean, how careless they can be to use defected spareparts on ur car? It can cause serious damage for godsake!

So many complains for after sale service.. I would rather service my car outside if i got my car. Since a sifu here said naza will have set up a factory to build kia vehicle next year like any protong n p2, then spare parts will be cheaper. Why pay extra money for lousy workmanship. But if i'm not wrong, once forte are fully manufactured in msia, the price will definitely drag a big gap with our imported price. Just like Hyundai Getz, it was selling around 90k for fully import but now....? Scary man.. And the changes in quality too.. laugh.gif

haiz... No u-turn. I booked it in Oct, loan also approved already. March is way too long to wait. Till that day, i think i lost interest on forte already. lol.. Actually i'm not so keen about how many speed it has. But i know if 6-speed spoil, not only my wallet needs to dig a big whole, i'll need to rob the bank to replace it. laugh.gif Honda City v-tec 6-speed gearbox costs a bomb, Forte 6-speed gearbox surely costs a nuclear. hmm.gif

Total damaged i meant is total spent on shark fin. Not to curse ur fin.. laugh.gif
Anyway, it is cheap nia.. What is its made? Reception wise good?
