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.

U should read all the posts on this thread especially the last 2 weeks and see the amount of issues (small & big) that have been reported here. Mind you, only a small fraction of the 4200 plus Forte owners are here in lowyat so if this small amount of owners here are facing such issues then imagine the rest. Some of the issues raised are actually worrying considering that brand new cars are involved.

Maybe best to wait another year before we assume that build quality is better than previous models. But i must admit that the Forte does feel solid on the road with good NVH but then again that is expected for a heavy car.
*
haha make it this way alot of ppl when start to have issue will log in and search for help.

btw some common issues have been highlighted in Myforte's forum ..... members are always welcome to go through that list first as some of it are minor issue can be align by user itself eg: seatbelt rattling sound - just readjust the seat belt eventually it will be gone as it is vibrating due to resonance from the engine , foging heallamp - no solution but some member's problem was solve after some time of driving on the road

Eh I think we need a Taikor from Sg Buloh - Kepong

any FORTE kaki have the initiative and enthusiasm or would like to vote someone for it? , as Ampang, Puchong , PJ , Klang , Shah Alam have their FORTE kepala to organise TT and coordinate with the committee for events.

Suggest we should have one from SG Buloh - Kepong ... there are so many on the road but we dunno whose who ... so sad.

Selayang should have one as well maybe Selayang - Bt Caves ?

*Sorry Northern & Southern Kaki this is Central's business muahah

I would say I am one of the first-2nd batch buyer ... booked on the day before it was launch .... I got my car in Feb with tons of HuHa all the way that's like aprox 4 months of waiting .

For those who had justbooked and the period to endure, it still can't compare to the first batch buyers, you can check out our experience on MyForte V2-V3 alot of complains, cursing and comforting from fellow members there's so much commotion going on. You may also get soe idea on how to deal with dealers as well as ppl from HQ.....


What I can say the current delay is small cases compare to the first batch, once you got the car you won't regret on it.

I can understand it. But u see, the delay makes all my plan f***ed up and not only me but my whole family. Whole trip need to be cancelled. Anyway, just a place for me to complain here but i'll still wait for it. laugh.gif I know my case can't be compared to lao jiao here but yet my car is there. I got my chasis no and all that but i can just look at the car but not legal to drive. :sian: If the SA is telling the truth, so meant our gov servants are in holiday mode now.. Pissed..

don't worry so much if really need to travel just borrow a car or rent it , must make sure your enjoyment still continue don't rely too much on the SA words always must have back up

GUess when I got my car ..... middle of CNY - that's like I have traveled to Pahang - KL - Penang & ALor star during CNY after the trip only got my car, was planning to drive my new car but WTH have to endure it lucky got side plan... you can imagine how my elders do complain as they expect a new car to travel back hometown, but I have to calm things down so we went back hometown with a "BANANA"


btw my car was in the show room for aprox a month can see can touch but cannot eat .... most of the first batch knows what I mean.

I am visiting that thread daily and keeping quiet

remember that these C-segment at B segment price is giving a pinch to Vios & City

FORTE's volume in Malaysia wouldn't catch up with Vios City nor Inspira because Naza's factory is small compare UMW,Honda & Proton. So total figures wouldn't be a good comparison there.

The best figure is to evaluate the increase or decrease of market share, waiting period & promotion (u know Suzuki isn't selling quite well that's why they are giving 3 years free service, FORTE charges EWP even we raise out loud !!). It is a supply & demand to evaluate it.

There's a possibility that the cable tension isn't stiff enough... I have similiar problem initially on my fuel cap, solve at SC where they adjust the cable by a few cm to have a higher tension level

As I said, I have spent 5 weeks plus until now still haven't got my car ready. So yesterday I went to the showroom where my car stock located in jb. Guess what ... My car exposes under hot sun n downpour outside the showroom without any shelter. Disc brake and wheel caps got rusted and paints are dirty and full of oily hand marks and shits. And this is what they promised me to keep my car inside while waiting for all the documents. I saw a delivery memo stated it was sent on 8 nov. WTH exposing my car under this kind of weather for more than 20days. I would never treat my car like that. Waste my time. Somemore I purposely went there even downpour and the outlet was closed by the time I reached there around 4pm. I doubt they didn't even open but as I known naza should open their branches 365days. I was getting mad and nag the SA to reject the car as it was like being SM before I saw it myself. Sands are inside rear seats and they are not wrapped properly just like demo cars I saw in other showrooms. I'm fed up already. I recorded my car condition as an evidence and if they gave me other surprise again, I'm going to send it to TTPM and media. I thought of uploading it in YouTube for others awareness but the clip is full of vulgar words I used. laugh.gif
Damn angry now for another delay again.

Ok GAGILANG just to clarify some matter , I know you are frustrated but would like to put a few item straight else someone might misunderstood. All Naza branh or SC (even any other car sales room) doesn't operates 365 days, please check with the PIC for opening hours and days(especially weekends and Holiday season), some times branch is close because they have road show some where.

Disc brake rust can be wear off once you starts to drive and breaks, it is normal .

If your sales person promise to place your car in door, then is really their fault not completing their promises.

For all car delivery we are expecting the sales person to clean up before delivery , as for my case the boss is good enough to place it under shades and offer cleaning before delivery. I bought my car in KL .

Do upload your findings and claims to alert other member how bad is this branch or sales person, this would alert any future buyer and HQ to be caution.

Anyway, just noticed my FC is not that good. 200++km mileage done with half tank fuel in 50/50 city/expressway drive. rpm never rev over 3.5k nia.. Really need to upgrade for better FC.

Very short distance between traffic lights. In such a case seldom reach 4th gear.
