I booked in Ipoh branch, according to the SA at least 3 month is required. Don't know how true that will be but according to him that is the maximum.  smile.gif

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

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 smile.gif

hold on, does the earlier posting on 6-speed is meant for Forte 2.0 (sedan) or Koup 2.0?
as i know Koup 2.0 (6-speed also) is coming on Jan 2011
that's something to be clarified

hmmm... a chat with some managers from hyundai managers and they cannot confirm the date yet
anyhow, i'm more than happy to wait for this if the price is right with better spec and it arrive on jul 2011
just need to wait for the forte 6-speed (sedan) and compare to this 2011 avante

read from other topics that the 6-speed may not have CVT
may i know what's the good feature of this CVT?
posting here as it's better to keep track of it under forte topic
