i 100% agree...we're all car owners, of coz got good and bad for each brand...
there's no use of bashing, and comparing, it makes the situation worse..
forums are made to discussing issue, not for bashing and comparing, for what? the result ended up where?? i would say never ending story..

haha...i m a retired fanboy....step down from the main movie...
sry kevin23, can't b ur fanboy/basher partner anymore...
back to bcom a normal audience....pop corn pls?

i was refering to kevin23, not you
cause kevin23 and me had been the 'actors' of this 'show'....
as i retired as an 'actor' in this 'show',
left kevin23 alone to act and perform his 'masterpieces'

i don't think he will turn into a fanboy like us...
personally, i m bored to be an 'actor'(fanboy) in this 'show'(IvF thread)..
gave up being an 'actor' and proceed become and 'audience'
Taipan, more pop corn plz....

aiyo....kevin, not all cars are 100% perfect la....
there's nothing perfect in this world...
i can say, ur NHC soon also will face defects....juz a matter of time...
nth can tahan lama 1....
some might be unlucky get manufactured defect vehicles...
some might be lucky get a very good condition new vehicles....

this is tengok luck 1...
not to say, also see how a driver drives...if some1 wan follow bunta/tohai drive in initial D(use longkang corner 1...light weight shifting) xD, sure absorber or suspension kong 1...
or mayb hit too much speed bumps or potholes.....see hw he drive la...
cnt say all time, Forte fault here and there...
u try urself speed over speed bumps and potholes and see....like for few weeks enuf...ur car also ended up absorber damage or something similar 2 it.

yup....still fully imported. Forte still CBU units, for now...
Gurun now is trying to get machines that can fix Forte, making it CKD.
now still best time to grab CBU units Forte. If not mistaken, CKD Forte will commence after Q2 2012.
Juz try to wait for facelift Forte, with 6spd GB and new 1.6 engine(all same as 2011 Avante)..currently still using 4spd GB and Upgraded Spectra5 engine. but delivers good FC than spectra5 itself...

After u get forte, there are 2 common problems u might face.
1. car tend to go to the left by itself(Alignment and balancing problem). why?? cause in korea is left hand drive, and they made it right hand drive for us.
2. Headlamp foggy issue(some said water vapor).....will disappear after few weeks or few mths....(normal for imported cars including Audi, BMW, and Mercedes) due to temperature here.
Headlamp itself needs to get used to our temperature, for that, u hv 2 b patience for few weeks or months.

if that is true, u might b refering to Forte Koup Type R Concept, featuring 6Spd DSG GB(used in VW), 2.0 ThetaII dual-cvvt twin turbocharged engine(290HP stock), CF Hood and spoiler, Recaro Sport seats, Sport absorber+spring and fully tuned Suspension settings. The whole car already fully tuned by factory default....it is very limited units...

might be in production...but will be very limited numbers(like civic type-R)
coz those came stock 290HP at 2.0L engine twin turbocharge(very rare u can find 4cyl 16v engine with twin turbocharge...even Evos also single turbo only)
290HP meaning stock even faster than Evos....juz only problem is FF.....so only meant for drag, or something that FF can do with racing.
Ald have prototype d.....

no....what u c, is juz normal KIA Forte Koup...

another 2 Forte bashers.....shoo!! if u din own both..

1. Q:Why ppl said Inspira is improved Lancer? A:Coz Inspira using 15'' Rim, and Lancer using 18'' Rim, sure Inspira more comfortable, but lack of stability and grip. Improved CVT gearbox, and with more better tuned Handling. That's the reason behind of 'Improved Lancer'. But for what I seen, Lancer in term of QA still better than Inspira ALOT!! My friend owns Lancer EX(Not GT - better version), also better than so called 'Improved Lancer'.
2. Q:Why u said Forte is no better than Lancer? A:I think you got it all wrong. Forte is much more better in QA and even compare with it's BODY!! My Forte kena accident, Front is juz slight damage. But hit is very hard(80km/h vehicle rushing, hitting my accelerating 30km/h speed) damage juz little, thanks to the strong chassis, or else my car will be like OMG!! Totalled!! Another 1 u can ask is Izputra, which uses 2.0 Forte...recently an P1 Iswara hit his Forte butt, surprisingly, P1 Iswara front is gone, can't move, can't start engine. Yet, his Forte butt is juz like nothing!!! Juz like need abit of paint job then back to original. Wanna complain?? If u wan prove :




That's Izputra's Forte butt and that P1 Iswara






That's mine Forte front

Prove ur Lancer and Inspira toughness....or better if u all wan 2 compare...these photos are real. Photoshots at NAZA KIA SC Alor Setar

Added on December 28, 2010, 10:27 amif u sure like that, try hit iswara with iswara.....i bet front of the 1st iswara and rear of the victim's iswara, definitely gone.....trust me, i've been hit by behind for like 3 times ald, while driving my old toyota..and also avanza

well, doesn't matter....i also thought my FOrte, same as my fren izputra also thought his Forte is gonner...and of coz mine is much more expensive repair cost than his..

everyone also had their own opinion to get their dream cars. i've choosen mine. my only choice is safety, not comfort. my life depends on it, if i choose comfort, not safety, then is better than i dun own it. Forte's technology is not important 2 me. but various of safety features, plus the body toughness, could say on par with Ford cars.
so in term of Inspira vs. Forte, definitely Forte, which is worth for price too.

this is the quality of P2, same goes with P1
