something to check with owners
some are saying that forte 2.0 steering feels light during normal speed but it's more lighter feel during high speed driving a bit different for the rest as they are light in normal speed but harder steering in high speed may sharing your experience on this? thanks |

Does anybody know if the alignment of the car can be done in any tire shop for the MDPS? From what I can understand on the technology for MDPS, it would seem that there is a calibration required for the steering wheel system. Can't tell if its a one-off factory calibration or not.
I got this from a video on youtube (search under "MDPS Hyundai"). Also this video is a Hyundai MDPS video but I heard that Hyundai and Kia share a lot of technology. Anybody can comment? |

some info to be shared (i'm only passing data which i have received from the SA)
- Koup 2.0 and 2.4 is coming to town around mid or end of Jan 2011 - Starting price should be > RM125k - As for the 6-speed Sedan version, they will surely bring it as the Koren manufacturer is phasing out the 4-speed at production level - When? No info on this yet - BTW, all the EX and SX model now are indeed CBU. M'sia guys just put in the NAZA badge and bolt in the missing 3 nuts for the tyres. Check the show unit, you can see the 3 bolts in red colour. That is considered as assembled in M'sia already |
