Hi taipan, I'm also interested in getting forte so hope you dun mind me reply this msg also ... Juz wondering where to change the camber nut and how much is it ?

For those of u looking for test drive the new forte 2.0 .... you can go to the branch at bangsar ... i was juz there in the afternoon testing it ... orgasmic i'd say biggrin.gif The rear camera is super neat !

1 thing though ... i gave my IC and driving license without saying anything .. and also signed the test drive paper ... nothing wrong right ? It's juz a test drive procedure right ? I read the paper before i sign and i'm sure it's just a test drive declaration thing ... but now after i come back only i remember i didn't actually fill out the form lolz ... juz sign oni .. they can't do anything with it right ? and also photocopy of my ic and license =/

just a test drive ... branch need to verify whether you have valid license for test drive

if booking you need to place booking fees d .

so far I have not change the chamber nut... got use to it d .. anyhow if intend to change most of FORTE member went to 3rd party adjustment shhhh ....

how much is 3rd party adjustment ? i mean i wanna know if it's too big of a problem onot oni =/ you say u get used to it means what ? to drive the car straight u need to tilt ur steering a little to the right side everytime ? that's not very nice right haha
well i'm not a car pro or anything la .. i've only drove waja and x-trail before. Well the forte 2.0 is like unbelievable !! The pick up is good .. can't test any fast speed stuff coz he only let me drive small road =.= I'm very impressed with

1) Push button start up (haha jakun)
2) Rear view camera .. very realistic
3) F1 style manual shift tongue.gif
4) Many buttons on the steering
5) Spacious boot
6) Leather seat seems good ..

I guess u're getting more than what you pay for ... but of coz like everyone says .. it's cheap coz it's KIA .. I really hope to get some honest feedback from forummers here regarding this machine .. how bad is it ? Coz nowadays i heard toyota and honda also having alot of problem themselves so what so great about those cars ? This car is jam packed with awesome features which i think probably camry/accord also dun have ..

It's almost impossible for me to go tru hundred over pages but I did scan through most of it and it seems there's 2 main problem which is the sound problem and allignment problem ? Both of this can be solved easily right ? Any other major problem like engine problem or window problem or brake problem ? =/

the tilting is really minimal probably 1-5 degree ? will notice much more in highway especially the drainage is over the left side

some of the defects face by user:
1) rattling sound from seat belt
2) squeaking sound from seat
3) left swirve
4) start failure due to sensor located at break level (secluded)
5) Engine high rev during initial start (secluded)
6) Fuel Cap unable to open due to insufficient tension (secluded) - I kena fix @ SC
7) window rattling sound on high speed (secluded or upon personnel opinion)

just take note on such issue , other than that no major issue at the moment except one 1.6 with engine failure (able to move but only 3 working piston) - issue solve

Besides this, things to take note were like major replacement parts require to wait up to 1-2 months

the last time i remembered forte 1.6 4 speed was really sucky. after going through with peugeot 308THP and 407, those feeling were amazing, i guess going southwards in testing car is really not fair i shall say. the expectation were too high.

so now have to have a fair comparison, Forte VS inspira, which is kind of hard to find 2.0P in show rooms.

i believe the avante would be more than 100k presumably it arrives in our shores.


Added on February 10, 2011, 10:42 pmalso i wanna ask again, how many airbags are there in the 1.6SX and the 2.0L ? is it still 2 and 6, or now all 2 only.

aduhai .... Forte 1.6 vs 308T vs 407
1 got turbo , another D segment , all 3 from same company but wrong way to compare

best comparison at the moment is
Inspira vs FORTE

for 80k segment Inspira 1.8 have a lead over the engine bay, features wise think about it yourself
for 90k segment I will go for FORTE 2.0 hands down
