Was wondering if any of you guys are using the standard OEM alarm system offered by Naza? Any comments on how good/bad it is?

QUOTE(jiro-kun @ Nov 3 2010, 10:17 AM) Hi there, just wondering if anybody here knows where I can get a good spoiler (not body kit) for Forte? i tried looking into several places and not much info i can find. Thanks~! The insulation for wind and road noise of our Forte is quite mediocre to be honest, although insulation from the engine bay is acceptable amongst all the other C-segment makes. In comparison, the Mazda 3 is slightly more noisy whereas the Latio, while having a better wind/road insulation, produces a horrendous whine from the underpowered engine. oh btw please update me into the list.. i'm driving spicy red 1.6sx.. been driving for more than 6 month de.. so far.. really satisfied.. except that.. the engine noise when i accelerate.. and the acceleration doesn't feel so smooth.. haha.. In terms of acceleration smoothness, it's due to the fact that Korean gearboxes are still not as good as Japanese ones. Nissan makes awesome gearboxes where the transition between gears is seamless. For the Forte, the automatic mode is alright but the torque dip is very noticable. If you don't mind the trouble (in fact it's actually more fun than trouble), go fulltime shift-tronic. You'll have more control in power delivery as you can time your upshifts with your right foot. Just experiment around and learn the timing of the shifts. And for spoilers... I personally think the sedan looks better without spoilers. If you really want to go for one, use subtle ones instead of bigarse GT wings. There are people who put Integra-looking wings but it won't look good without customised rims and body kits; and then you run the risk of looking ahbeng-ish. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by StarGhazzer: Nov 4 2010, 04:17 AM |

QUOTE(DnG @ Nov 3 2010, 06:53 PM) Just to share the info clearly although nothing new: CorrectionSpoke to CMD Naza earlier. For Forte 1.6 SX, RM640 is to pay for the extended warranty of additional 3 years or additional 75k mileage (NOTE: not Unlimited), for Forte below 1 year and 30k mileage. ==>> meaning manufacturer warranty is 2 years or 50k. If purchase this extended warranty, it will be revised as 5 years (2+3 years) or 125k mileage (50k+75k). Now, question -->> worth it or not? Please share your view. Thanks. The EWP for Forte is 3 years and unlimited mileage |

QUOTE(x5m5 @ Nov 4 2010, 10:58 AM) Another question is: What are covered by the EWP, is it the same as the 2 years warranty? If it is the same, i think worth buying EWP for peace of mind at least the first 125k..OR 5 years unlimited milage..which ever true.. we wont know what will break down later, aircond compressor, or any engine parts..or gear parts..will cost a bomb.. |

Extended_Warranty.pdf ( 237.3k )
Number of downloads: 51update on motor insurance renewal: checked with K* insurer a they do not have any market value report for Forte as of now. if you would like to reduce the initial sum insured, you can only reduced it by 10%.
