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)

inspira for sure 4% above for interest....1.8 auto is about 87k...so all in all forte 1.6sx much cheaper...

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

Coz white is sporty 

this is individual preference some prefer solid white

most whites are solid white anyway....quite hard 2 find pearl white came ori with the car.....
so far, the only ones i could find is perodua and toyota....even mitsubishi i think oso dun hv...no nid say Forte only available solid white 5000k i think...

small problem only.. hehehe.. good to hear you solve the prob.
i got worst problem than you.. now dunno how to solve.. lazy to go SC check coz  the sound is intermittent from dashboard..

coz i lazy, i dont complaint. eheheheh

starting problems = for me not a problem, small prob no need scratch head 
side mirror problems = only plug cabut, next time send SC first before complaint in forum.
dashboard issues = only me la this one. never heard problem from others. is 24/7 exposed to day & night can contribute this issue? i got no parking space with roof.

almost all drop....it is maybe because of year end. but forte only drop 13% compare to myvi almost 28% and vios almost 20% drop....year end most car sale will drop...to avoid low 2nd hand value maybe?? but lancer sale increase....hehehe...

naza won't able to achieve their target 6000 unit this year.

Expect poor sales these few months cuz year end already. In jan n feb onwards it will definately pick up

f*%k .... my SA give me lame excuses again.
Loan agreement already signed last monday.
Car already available.
Until now she said still waiting for documents to process,
walao ... really make me angry only.
Last thursday said monday can get.
Now monday already said maybe tomorrow.
walao ....

So as I. Since i booked my car, they spent one week to approve my loan. Another week to process my documents. They promised me that i can get my car last week so i bought my coach ticket then ended up last min told me they can't make it because of public holiday and need another week to proceed. As a consumer, I signed my part, paid my money but been waiting for few weeks until now I still haven't got my car, no chasis no reported to me, no registration no registered. Waste my $$ n waste my time summore waste my phone call to keep chasing the SA. Really LEAVE ME SPEECHLESS now. I bought it when I attracted by the car, but now the only feeling i have is bored.. not to the car (which is mine i also dunno) but the servce.

I dont have car to use anymore
as i sold off my previous honda city.
The buyer give me a very good price for it even though with serious accident b4.
So if i wait until next yr ... the city price will be even worst
and the boss cant wait also.

hai-sei,there are plenty cars better than Vios-lah.
only curent Vios owner don't know.

of course la 2 jan 2011...

juz nw, i at car paint shop...
there's 1 current generation vios owner there....
wanna repaint the bumper(F)(bit dented)...
when he ask bumper OEM hw much...the SA quote him RM500 without installation/paint.
then he come and repair by himself, repaint and do some touch up jobs...cost him RM1xx only...
coz his plate is KCU, and mine is KCS...means his is newer car
he saw my forte which is in paint shop, he ask me, how much is my Forte, i said RM82k(81800 closest figure), then he said WOW! his is 81k ald, which juz 1k difference between VIOS E and Forte 1.6SX. he take a look at the back of the car, inside, really leave him speechless.
then i asked him, y didn't he choose Forte 1st? he only answer is....he dunno where is KIA dealer in Alor Setar, and i was juz feel like =.=''

To be honest, the Forte build quality is very good in and out. Has driven 9 months, no issue at all. The Naza service center I went to is also quite good, (Some service center offered very good service, but not all) it depends on the manager. So far I am very satisfy with the car performance and fuel mileage. All should give Forte a try, Korean car are now really up to the standard.

'resale value' 'resale value' 'resale value' 'resale value' .. im sick and tired hearing this kind of words.. people like me just buy the car and use it until it cant be use anymore..u know what i mean? im not the type of people that buy the car for only 2 years..then change..2years..then change.. haha Kia Forte FTW! Take 'value' 1st.. 'resale' later..
