U hv to allow an engine break-in for things to settle now. It's always a bit heavy on FC when it's new. Revisit again after the 1k service is done. Then, wait until u break the 4k barrier.

Forte will shine after that. Of coz...the FC won't beat a Vios...& it will never be.

haha. will share with you all. but first don't want to mislead so have to try first.
need to try for few tanks and see the is it really working as claimed. i just want to see whether the ecu will relearn and overwrite that thing first.

Its a ' promotion' should expect a time frame for it then only make sense. Existing owner should now feel better?

i've test drived Ford Fiesta Full specs....
is juz a turn down for me....
1st. 6Spd dual clutch transmission......no manual/sport mode...is full auto...1 point sucks...
2nd. interior.....fugly...hate it!!!!!
3rd. engine power : Worse than ours....can't compare with EX lagipun more expensive...
4th. no Start/stop engine button....still use key
5th. NO REAR DISC BRAKES!!!!! 2nd point sucks
6th. TCS+ESC can't be disabled
7th. meter said 22KM left b4 fuel empty...i test drive 1 round around 2.5KM distance.....from 22KM to 15KM....damn makan minyak....even with Forte also cnt like that....
8th. Sound system sucks!!! but player is alot better than stock Forte...(HB...Sedan is way worse)
9th. Ford Fiesta sedan boot....damn small.....slightly bigger than BLM only...
10th. hit gas kao kao, rpm shoot up fast....speed slow only....

juz lucky i din buy this SH1T car.....damn hate it....
the good things abt the car :
1st. HB version HU
2nd. Seats better than Forte
3rd. Not bumpy
4th. Front bumper design....
5th. auto-fold mirror+mirror adjustment...

1st. A minus point that most people agree with, abit sad because of the gearbox potential is there
2nd. Subjective, but it's not that bad given the targetted segment, it's competing against vios/city/maz2
3rd. worse than forte 1.6? are you sure? really really sure? i dont want to be another CM98 but you do realise the difference of power weight ratio between these 2 cars right? so i want to ask again, you really sure about the poor engine power delivery? i might be wrong because maybe i don't add much weight to the car therefore the acceleration is not affected in the fiesta but i was slightly heavier when i tested the forte, tongue.gif
4th. is that really so important? hmm.gif
5th. the advantage of rear drum break vs disk brake is still a subject of debate, but heck, we can always ask for more right? tongue.gif ...ya, Ford should just put the disk in and let the rest debate about it. a minus for fiesta.
6th. why would you wanna disable them? you mat drift? tongue.gif
7th. hardly conclusive, the test car probably hasn't even break in yet....
8th. sound sucks, but player is better....i think that's a draw then...
9th. the Fiesta IS meant to be a small car, if you did not realise. the Forte was meant to be bigger. i can't think of anything wrong with that... hmm.gif
10th. relates to 3rd, and i think your test car is also affected by 7th. the engine hasn't been properly break in yet.

Sh1t car eh, hahaha...now you are starting to talk like "the" someone....

anyway, just my slight 2cent disagreement with your post. i dont think the fiesta was that much of a sh1t car...it was just the way it was meant to be, a nice small fun car. just like forte has it's own design purpose, so does fiesta. you don't have to bash a car so badly (or subjectively) just because you are not going to buy it. you might not agree with what i say tho, unsure.gif

3rd : I was competing to Forte EX model...not SX
6th : I love power slides.... biggrin.gif
4th : Juz a pointer...
5th : for a RM8xK at least show something....even Waja/Gen2 also got rear Disc Brakes ald..dun mind for RM7xK vehicles..
2nd : A 1.6CC consider a B-Segment?? i dun think so....

i still call it a SH1T car....coz i dun c any value in it....i would say, i rather take City than Fiesta...

the Fiesta IS a b segment car. ok, thx for making clear your point. i guess that means case close, smile.gif

just a quick point to think tho, the Fiesta has NVH level that is much better than even the Forte, which means if you move from sitting in the City & then to Fiesta, the silence will be like golden. but i guess you were looking for Fiesta's problem so you probably missed out this. Enjoy yr Forte anyway, smile.gif

A picture with thousand words...


1) after test for few hours on last Friday, the device really show something when I fill up full tank on early morning today
2) the last time (many months ago) when i got DTE above 600KM is only when i driving on highway with 90~100KM/H and maintain light foot for city driving. Recently my DTE always between 530KM and 560KM. For above picture, its an improvement of 50KM at least.
3) on Friday itself, i stuck in heavy jam and speeding above 110KM/H when there is no traffic
4) so far the FC when idling at traffic light is improving.
5) pickup up still the same and at certain time way better than normal
6) So far travel 50% city 50% hiway manage to clock 128KM with DTE 487KM (if add up the figure same with picture above - quite accurate reading). Only 1 & half bar consume.
7) haven't test 100% light foot driving style.. and the result really outstanding. (if i can hit 550KM for 100% city driving with heavy traffic jam what you could expect for 100% highway driving? as i've manage to clock 630KM for 100% highway driving before (stock condition).. that's what i'm going to test right now.. i'm driving a lot in city. will test highway when going back hometown someday.

what else could i say.. i won't give further detail.. just assume it as a teaser.. will give more review when i finish full tank later. however, maybe it will takes long time than expected.. brows.gif

(if i can hit 550KM for 100% city driving with heavy traffic jam what you could expect for 100% highway driving? as i've manage to clock 630KM for 100% highway driving before (stock condition).. that's what i'm going to test right now.. i'm driving a lot in city. will test highway when going back hometown someday.

what else could i say.. i won't give further detail.. just assume it as a teaser.. will give more review when i finish full tank later. however, maybe it will takes long time than expected..  brows.gif

A picture with thousand words...
1) after test for few hours on last Friday, the device really show something when I fill up full tank on early morning today
2) the last time (many months ago) when i got DTE above 600KM is only when i driving on highway with 90~100KM/H and maintain light foot for city driving. Recently my DTE always between 530KM and 560KM. For above picture, its an improvement of 50KM at least.
3) on Friday itself, i stuck in heavy jam and speeding above 110KM/H when there is no traffic
4) so far the FC when idling at traffic light is improving.
5) pickup up still the same and at certain time way better than normal
6) So far travel 50% city 50% hiway manage to clock 128KM with DTE 487KM (if add up the figure same with picture above - quite accurate reading). Only 1 & half bar consume.
7) haven't test 100% light foot driving style.. and the result really outstanding.

based on feedback from one of the owner which use PPS, my opinion Sierra Gloe (SG) is better.
PPS seems not up to expectation, product & after sales service. some more you need to send for maintenance at least once a year.

so far heard SG after sales service is superb. no negative feedback on product so far.

yup. compatible from 1.0 to 2.0 (got setting to match engine capacity)
no cutting. plug n play.
so if anything just take out and restore back to original condition.


however dunno whether got any negative effect in the long run. blush.gif
maybe other sifu could advice further. icon_question.gif

product that i use 2 actually. one is kind of VS (plug at 12v socket). another one is like air bleeding/leaking concept.
i lazy to test one by one, put both straight away.

item 1: based on feedback in lyn. bought based on trust.
item 2: due to item one feedback, take a chance to test the new product offered by the seller cool.gif

based on short test before i bought both product, i think item 2 give more positive results. item 1 maybe need to test with another owner. coz i hardly feel the difference. (same like when i install 3m door seal, when test other car only i notice the different) whistling.gif

i found a few models on the internet for G4FC engine ...some are used in hyundai i30,coz they are using the same engine as well


ZFR5F-11 (NGK)
FR8HDC (bosch)
FQR8LEU2(bosch)
RC9MC4 (champion)
RC12MC4 (Champion)
RC12MC5 (Champion)
KJ 16CRU-11 ( denso)

the pages say they are all compatible with each other, but i'm not too sure about it. I think most listed are just normal copper electrode plugs, not performance plugs.

I'm looking for something like super 4 or bosch fusion or iridium for more power. u know la engine 1,6..car so heavy..cannot vroom vroom

We,Denso <have just released IXUH22 in Singapore market. Some stores do not stock IXUH22
yet. In this situation,
please ask shop clerk if this IXUH22 can be ordered or not.


Apparently, Forte uses what is known as Long Reach type which is slim (12mm) and long (26.5mm) compared to most plugs like IK20 or IK16 which is bigger (14 mm) and shorter. It is to enable better cooling and to get better power for the engine due to its smaller size which enables better angle displacement for the valves in the engine.

Hope above helps for all Forte 1.6 owners who want to swap their stock plugs like me..

this was taken from SG Kia Club

old info pls update as ppl based on book not real part inspection to recommend

the only Denso Iriduim is IXUH22I for G4FC 1.6L Forte.
other makes not yet get as they have close match but like IXUH22 case wrong spec when you look at actual unit.

yup, i read about the iXUH22I in sg forum too, but i found something on Bosch australia web site.

there are models compatible with G4FC engine . 1600cc.

they quoted this :

FR8DCX+ (normal use)

FR8DPX (more power i guess)

F3-4 (iridium fusion mode)

i think we need to check the plug size, coz many company quoted 19mm long plug while many ppl says 26.5mm. If the plug is too long, it may damage the engine , if we use 19mm got any problem ? the plug is still in the engine rite?

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)

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.

so what you guys think bout my FC?
usually i'll get 150KM in average for the first 2 bars consumed.

Attached Image

as picture above, i managed to clock 161KM with slightly less than 2 bars (with DTE shown 450KM remaining)

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.

if forte breakdown within a year then you're unlucky person...
any new car of course having difficulty to find spare part at normal w/shop... perlis some more...
if u concern about spare part u need to wait at least 2-3 years... especially imported cars...
at least wait until OEM part available...

if not, why people buy ferrari here in m'sia...
when breakdown, just throw into 'terusan wan mat saman' and buy another one...???

wow...so the sub-100k forte now suddenly alleviates into a ferrari level huh...since parts are also not easily available for the ferrari which is a rare car, so should the forte be any different, right? very good & fair comparison. sometimes you people simply say the best things ever, =). so much for a fair compare. is any intelligence needed for such comparison?

i somehow agree with you that for korean car spare part, not any capalang workshop can get spare part, especially when emergency like your case.

but lets think another way, wat is the percentage of ur car breakdown on the middle of the road? i drive a proton saga for 8 years, not 1 time my car breakdown on the road. so compare to the time i enjoy driving my car, i choose to take the risk because it just not significant for such 1 off cases.

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). biggrin.gif

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).  biggrin.gif

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

CVVT is the gear box technology... DVVT, VTEC, VVTI are all engine technology...

don't learn about CVVT lar... latest is DSG (aka dual clutch gear box)... power like conventional gearbox, change gears like CVVTs thumbup.gif

my windscreen cracked last weekend. only notice this wen driving on the fed highway.the line start from the top middle and down to make a 'S' line in front of the driver's side. so sent the car this morning to jln tandang to verify whether covered by warranty since it's definitely not due to stone or any object as no point of impact found along the crack.

the guy at the SC quite helpful and said will forward the case to HQ by submitting the photos. will update in a couple of weeks...

so crossing my fingers now tht HQ will replace it by acknowledging it as manufacturing defect...

Hi folks,

I just found out about rim offset considerations when changing my rims from 17" to 16". It seems like the 16" I got has a smaller offset, causing the wheel to protrude out a little.

Does anyone know what is the offset for the stock 17" and 15", and what should be used for 16"?

KFC, may I know what is the offset of your 16"?

Thanks.

70K is for 1 year old.
65K for 2 years old consider okay or not?

sure when renew insurance (for car registered december 2009) they will say our cars only 1 year old and they insured higher.
when comes into claim they will said our car is 2 years old coz december 2009 consider 1 year already. then they just give claim based on market value.. rclxub.gif rclxub.gif rclxub.gif


Added on October 26, 2010, 8:37 pmfor 1.6SX last time (1st year) they insured 78K.

so 70K should be fine. or if want to safe 65K should be okay (consider 2 years old already)

maybank etiqa quite okay in term of claim insurance. have experience in claiming vios accident. quite fast. overall 2 weeks time can take out car already. means only 1 week to process claim & 1 week to repair.

Yupp..6.1L/100km. 100% highway from Alor Setar to KL (this pic snapped just before the Duta toll). Most of the time autocruising at 110km/h with 3 adults + 2 small children + almost full boot. I consider that as quite impressive also for a normally aspirated 2.0 C segment car. But during my last long distance travelling, only managed to clock 6.7L/100km for 100% highway driving. Maybe due to some aggresive overtaking maneuver rolleyes.gif

For mostly town (KL & surrounding area) driving, able to clock between 9L-11L/100km depending on how bad the traffic was during the measurement period. So an average of 10L/100km for mostly town driving can be concluded for an averagely light footer like me...

nowadays, all insurance company will transfer our NCD. so no worry if you want to change insurance company.

just ask the agent and ensure they transfer them. ask details before commit.

aiyo yesterday night kena the cannot start because the brake pedal not press issue. had to use the pressing of the start button for 10 seconds method to start the car. funny thing is that the issue is because the brake pedal felt very hard to press (like the hydraulic stuck) so cannot go down all the way and due to that the button cannot press. start the engine and the brake felt loose immediately. anyone kena before? method to avoid?

Take any car. Without starting the engine...keep pressing on the brake pedal. U'll notice it will go "hard" as well.

It's normal.

Ricky faced the same issue before.
Arul guide him to start with your same method.
Better send to SC to check maybe the brake mechanism issue!!

Hi, I have a Forte 2.0sx booking that cost RM 1000 but I have decided not to go for it. It is transferable and It can be switched to 1.6 forte as well. Booking at Puchong branch.

I am not sure GPS gives me a better accuracy or the dash board whenever I am traveling 110 on dash board GSP (2 units here Garmin + Phone) shows 100-103 km/h

So we have 10 km/h to buffer ?

btw envy your RPM so low at high speed 1.6 SX at 2.9 rpm for 110km/h at dash board.

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.

Both my in-dash Papago GPS & iphone Papago M6 GPS also gave lower speed reading. At 110km/h (on the car's speedometer), both the GPS unit just shows 106km/h only. Driving my uncle's CRV last week & using my iphone Papago GPS..i got almost the same reading (107km/h) for a 110km/h at the CRV's's speedometer. Yupp..maybe it is a buffer purposely set by the manufacturer to make sure that the car is not overspeeding (that leads u getting the summon ticket)

congratz dude.. whitey 2.0 is rare. hahaha

btw just an update..

i've settled for 8.3L/100KM for half tank now with 90% city and 10% highway drive.
Mileage clocked at 321KM with DTE 293KM remaining.

if minus 70KM (average before empty tank indicator blinking), i should expect near 550KM per full tank for near 100% city drive.
drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif

50% light foot 50% crazy drive. and i should expect the same 600KM DTE on next full tank.

there will be no more review until i've finished the full tank.

the 10th gen altis has long dropped from top...er, i really dont know. is 20 enough? but of coz, some owner of this gen would bash me if i say this gen was a failure in market capture compared to what it used to be able to achieve. but well, the figure for the whole 1 year wont lie, so its really a denial.

maybe the 10.5 gen will do better, but i am still betting it will be just as bad in acceptance as the 10th gen. i certainly hope umw wont need more than 2 gen of bad sales to realise their "competitive" pricing in such crowded market today.

aiyo yesterday night kena the cannot start because the brake pedal not press issue. had to use the pressing of the start button for 10 seconds method to start the car. funny thing is that the issue is because the brake pedal felt very hard to press (like the hydraulic stuck) so cannot go down all the way and due to that the button cannot press. start the engine and the brake felt loose immediately. anyone kena before? method to avoid?

i think quite many of us including me kena this issue.. sigh...

btw guys, anyone got their engine noisier after 2nd service? more like taxi sounds. ask the guy from service centre and the simply say it's normal due to the engine latch @_@. i've been driving the car since feb, of course i know the diff... so anyone experience the same? will it be possible if it's due to revving the engine to the top while in N gear? coz during the servicing of my car, i heard (didnt c or i might be wrong) some1 revving sumthing up like nobody biz...

I think this statement is quite true due to ECU's nature nowadays.. If you drive normal, it will focus on fuel consumption.
If you drive fast n furious, engine will also roar.. if that's what you want smile.gif

I notice last time Penang driving to work always FC 13 while via highway 9 now after engine break in 5K+ FC is great.. jam traffic FC 11 while can achieve 7-8 on highway..

BTW, is Forte Coupe ever coming? What do you guys think of Proton Inspira Lancer based pricing quite near Forte?

this sounds like a real concern to all forte owners - 2 months to wait for the car to repair?

Yes it does sound like it. But to be fair, we need to take into account that it is a fairly new car in the market thus spare parts will be hard to come by. If they still have spare parts problems next year then i would worry as this was 1 of the main issues concerning Korean makes in the past.

Yes if yor car exposed to prolonged periods in the sun it might cause problems but thats usually for older cars. Not cars that are less than 1 yr old. If thats the case now imagine in 3-5 yrs time.

cnt.....the closest i think also 1.7x...almost 1.8.....but chances of damaging ur engine block is very high..
so, no point....in order to achieve 2.0 power, as well add soft turbo/supercharge it....

I hv queries regarding our forte anti-glare rear view mirror.
I noticed that when the mirror turns blueish, it's working.
Anyone know on what condition only will the sensor detect and activate the anti-glare function?
As for mine, during daytime driving, it rarely turn blue while most of the time remain as per normal.
night-time not sure whether it's working.
Is this normal?

Yes if yor car exposed to prolonged periods in the sun it might cause problems but thats usually for older cars. Not cars that are less than 1 yr old. If thats the case now imagine in 3-5 yrs time.

it can be solved actually. i just lazy to go SC just to check. coz the sound is intermittent and i dont want to spend unnecessarily on labor charge if cannot reproduce the sound. but i know where it comes from and probably can be DIY.

hmm.. another worrying point for Forte . I heard sound from the seatbelt bucket as well.

seatbult bucket sound is not a problem!
aiyo.. why worry on small-small things? just put the bucket in the middle.

I hv queries regarding our forte anti-glare rear view mirror.
I noticed that when the mirror turns blueish, it's working.
Anyone know on what condition only will the sensor detect and activate the anti-glare function?
As for mine, during daytime driving, it rarely turn blue while most of the time remain as per normal.
night-time not sure whether it's working.
Is this normal?

if you tint your rear windscreen it will block certain amount of light. so the sensor wont detect and activate the anti-glare function. i notice this after the 1st time install tint. on certain condition when the car is near and the headlight is bright it will activate them. before tinted, car's from far away also the sensor will activate. hope u get what i mean.

It works with TWO sensors. One at the front (facing you and the rear windscreen), and one at the back (facing the front windscreen).

The sensor at the back is to detect whether it is day or night (bright or dark). The one in front is to detect whether there is any bright glare. You will need two sensors because during the day time, if only the front sensor is activated then your rear view mirror will be blue-green the whole day!

A simple way to test it is to do it during daytime on a bright sunny day. Cover back sensor (to simulate "night time" smile.gif) and then watch the screen turn blue-green.

One thing I dislike about the automatic review mirror is that when the sun is glaring at the back it won't get activated rclxub.gif. I had to use finger/paper/tape to cover the back sensor (aka "cheat it") so that my eyes won't get destroyed. I just hope they add a feature to "force on" the anti-glare icon_idea.gif

It looks like you're just letting excess air in after the throttle body, which probably means this extra air is bypassing the O2 sensors. IIRC, your ECU among many other things, adjusts the amount of fuel injected based on how much O2 it senses coming in, so in effect, you do get a better burn because you have a bigger air to petrol ratio, however, I seriously doubt this is good for the engine, as air intakes have filters for a reason. Secondly, like pointed out by others, eventually your ECU will probably detect this anomaly and adjust back to normal (injecting more petrol to keep up with the excess air), which then, you wll probably lose all benefit, if there is any real benefit in the long term.

I really don't suggest you guys use these products. I'm not disputing it's effectiveness, I'm sure it works... but at a cost. Looking at the device, I can already deduce how it works. Nothing special about it at all. Just a simple cylinder with bores along the sidewalls so that air can be sucked in due to the negative pressure of the intake manifold. Turning the "ADJUSTER" just simply rotates another cylindrical object inside to close or open more of the bore holes. You might as well cut a hole in your intake manifold.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inlet_manifold#Intake_manifold <- A good read will show you what you are messing with by fitting this to your intake manifold.

N1....better not mod it...i still prefer using VS+GC better....


Added on October 30, 2010, 1:53 pmand the best way to change to 1800CC are :
1st. Change bigger piston
2nd. make the piston hole wider(suitable 2 fit 1.8L Piston) from engine block
3rd. Change crankshaft to a better quality+abit longer 1....

do this...if u wanna change from 1.6 to 1.8 using N/A mode....
or else, plant in soft turbo...

but if wanna do these....make sure warranty period over(either after 2 yrs or 5 yrs-EWP)


Added on October 30, 2010, 1:53 pmif i am not mistaken, also hv 2 change GB ratio right??


Added on October 30, 2010, 1:54 pmand absorber, suspension, absorber spring, brakes.....alot more hv 2 redo/retune.....in order 2 get a better balance for the car...

bro, this is not mod for getting 1.8 performance. it just use setting for 1.8. and a bit extra performance gain with FC improved. that's all.

another thing, does it the same with performance air filter which is using stainless steel type?
because, stainless steel air filter only guarantee up to 95% air to be filtered. and lots of owner also use this type of filter. same potential prob with the engine right?

Myvi/Saga white are juz plain Solid.
Solid 2k are brighter than plain Solid. looks much better than plain Solid which saga blm/myvi offers.
But..in term of white colors, the best for budget cars, still Alza white color, which is pearl white, wins metallic......can repaint ur car 2 that color if u wan smile.gif but i guess juz kinda waste of money...

If you're taking the car from the stockyard rawang they already have the list prepared for you. Just tick at each item after checking. However its good to have your own checklist before going there just so you know what are you actually getting. Refer to the first page.



On a different topic, when's the next TT? I just got my car. Scary la later kena poison with u guys!

u better now keep your ears to the engine cause its lean out the air/fuel mixture so u can get pinging very easily uphill especially if you are using ron95.
1.6 maybe ok but u have to keep an ear on 2.0 as your setup is leaner than 1.6. don't say i didnt advise ok bro.... hehehehe

i dont think that is. (that sound in the clip knocks non-stop)

i only hear knocking when i was doing test run with ron95. it only happens for me, during full floor acceleration (from stand still), and high rev cruising (in my case, speed above 120km with rpm around 3K) having notified umw sc during my servicing, they adviced to switch back to whatever previous fuel if the sound was not there before. i did and fill back with ron 97. now the sound is gone.

btw, my engine knocking sounds like a rattle, maybe its not the same for different car/engine? unsure.gif

Sales statistics for September 2010 is currently out:

http://www.motortrader.com.my/Cars/NewsHea...-September.aspx

Seems that the Forte sales have dropped to 386 units only from 448 units in August. But then again most car sales dropped as well.

Percentage of drop doesnt quite apply here. The sales figures are more important. A drop of 20% for Vios is still considered much better compared to the 13% drop for the Forte since the Vios is selling about 2500+ units a month while even a drop of 60 units for a car that isnt doing as well as it was supposed to, is a big deal.

But im sure the competition will become even stiffer for all the current models when the Avante is launched next year.

NOTE to all: Don't buy 1st batch new launches until NazaKia sorted out their marketing plan I am also holding back company K5 since this 1yr 30k EWP issue crop up they can't honor their 2yr-50k warranty for Forte. I am also advising those I promoted to about how good KIA cars are to hold on any purchase until NazaKia knows how to respect their customers & supporters.

Did u mean whistling sound? My 2.0 got this minor whistling sound coming from the driver side mirror's hinge when driving above 90km/h (heard it when the window is down). But i just ignore it coz most of the time it was unheard coz i close the window wink.gif

Press AC will do. Just need to manually set other preferred settings first (outdoor/recirculate & flow mode) for once. So i left only the fan speed to be controlled automatically by the system. For me, i just press AC to on & press OFF to off the aircond after that.

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.

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.

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..

Correction

The EWP for Forte is 3 years and unlimited mileage

are you suggesting that the call center made an mistake in giving the details to customer?
i made him to repeat several time to confirm this:
If purchase this extended warranty, it will be revised as 5 years (2+3 years) or 125k mileage (50k+75k).

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..

again. please refer to nazakia website for existing EWP coverage.

anyone can share the 'proposal form in branch' here?
as for the coverage, it spells out in the EWP taken from their website:
Attached File  Extended_Warranty.pdf ( 237.3k ) Number of downloads: 51



update 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%. If any of you have difference advice, please share.
