Kia Koup......many been talking about it since a year ago. Just wait for official launch date.

Calculating FC according to the fuel gauge bar is inaccurate.
I've encountered times where the fuel gauge needle didn't drop at all for the first 100km, yet there were times it dropped down drastically even before I reached 100km.

Generally speaking, as long as you have been driving on highways for a reasonable time period the estimated-to-empty reading will definitely exceed 500km.

xioncity, that zero07 actually me...didnt notice im using my lil bro acc...hehehe

good. let me explain as i'm the seller of k logo.
firstly, it's not King Long logo, king long it's china bus company (just the design might look similar as both are based on K).
the K we all wearing singaporean called it Retro K emblem, and here we call it K emblem, some might call it king long due to misleading info provided by someone last time.

the story of this K emblem is long story, it was created by Korea Kia Club member and it fits perfectly for Kia vehicles. (seems not so long afterall haha)

so it's it from KIA? no.. is it looks good for our forte? indeed~ that's why u can see many of our members changed their emblem to this retro K emblem.
if interesting please PM me. thanks.

I went to Ford PJ last Saturday to test drive the Sport Fiesta, but unluckily got many people test driven it that morning. Not willing to wait longer, so i just look2 at it & took some brochures. Then, i went to VW showroom at the Old Klang Road & test drove the VW Polo 1.2TSI & VW Golf 1.4TSI instead. All i can say is that it was impressive. IMO, the just only 1.2cc turbocharged Polo can match our 2.0 Forte acceleration anytime, anyday. If looking at the 0-100km/h figure, the Polo will smoke the 2.0 Forte with relatively ease. Not to say the 1.4cc Twincharged Golf..floored the pedal & i simply stick tight to the backseat. The 7-speed dry-clutch DSG is simply marvelous..especially when using the paddle shifter in the Golf (no paddle shifter in the Polo)

Guys, seriously i don't think that we can compare kia with ford. it is fully import right? from euro?

Actually i'm looking for a small car to replace my wife's Kenari & Fiesta actually grab my wife's attention. That's why i jalan2 to car showrooms last weekend

why dont you wait for polo next year when it is under HICOM?? i think, it is a better car compare to fiesta except for the design le...

bro, got L emblem for forte? hahaha

yup true. but i frequently watch the rpm and fuel needle when in car just for the sake of fc reading all this while.
and this is for review on device which i've installed in my car. when we pump full tank, the exact km traveled between 2 top bars with the rest is not the same. especially on the last bar. it's totally less than others (even on 100% highway ride). 

i've been hitting that kind of figure like that since last week... 60% highway, 40% city
