QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Nov 23 2010, 04:48 PM) Nope. Only in Malaysia do we have crap distributers and servicing agents. Thats the deciding factor here in Malaysia. Improve on that and i dont see why Hyundai - Kia cannot be No 1 in Malaysia too. The change of mentality will come in time. It wont happen overnight. Dont forget that over the past 15 years Malaysia has probably seen about 15 Kia and Hyundai models introduced with mostly average quality and after sales standards. You cannot aspect 1 Forte model to change that overnight. It needs more effort and persistence but Kia has already started. Its up to them to continue and persist with great cars and competitive pricing. Yep..slowly but its changing.. cANT wait for the Optima, facelifted forte and the upcoming Avante!! BTW from experience, Kia SC and aftersales under Naza is MUCH MUCH better then that of HONDA right now. I have no idea WTF wrong with Honda nowadays.. damn cheapskate liar.. local CKD honda got so damn muh problem (accord) maintainence policy also damn stupid... even if service with Fully synth, next service must alo after 5,000 KM failure to do so will void warranty.. WTF HONDA..damn cheapskate |

WTF HONDA..damn cheapskate Yes ure damn right about Honda. I dont understand that rubbish 5K interval even with Fully Synthetic engine oil. Their quality standards are also dropping. My sister in law's 4 yr old City is already giving her so much of trouble that she's planning to dump it (and Honda) next year. |

QUOTE(Taipan052 @ Nov 22 2010, 01:42 PM) if you really shortlisted forte as part of your wife's future car.. i suggest you to wait at least until march 2011. until then only know whether there will be facelifted forte coming into our shore. new facelift = new price(increase)  |

Hey I believe Inspira and Forte owner can mix together. Both are worth to buy and value for money. So don't bash each other. Instead, both owner can team up to counter bash T and H  |

Added on November 24, 2010, 10:57 pmQUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Nov 23 2010, 04:52 PM) See what Nissan did with their newly launched Teana. They priced the 2.0L about 7K cheaper than the Camry 2.0L. Do you think that will be enough to eat into the Camry sales? I seriously doubt that. Hyundai made the same mistake with the Sonata and they paid the price for their foolishness. So now even though they are offering a RM 3,000 overtrade, its still not boosting sales that much. If anybody wants to challenge the Japs, it has to be done with much cheaper and better spec cars like the Kia Forte. +1 ! This post has been edited by ssek76: Nov 24 2010, 10:57 PM |

sorry guys, i've been busy for past days.
i havent got a chance to visit the showroom for both inspira and forte. so have not decided to go for which car.
but with so many recommendation and comments, I guess my own gut feelings are going for Forte (future release with 6-gears), despite the voting results. But then again, have to test drive to see how comfort is the seat and driving leisure later.
Anyhow, i saw the Avante clip. Awesome. hope to see the real car in the PWCC expo later and decide if I can wait that long before getting a car.
so thanks again to all for your valuable inputs and sharing thoughts.

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..

Which is the after sales service fr naza |

In fact, both are good cars ! However, it is true also Naza and Proton have almost same quality of service center. Both are not good indeed. For me, I opt for Inspira. I think if any problem and Proton cannot solve it, at least I can find for Mitsubishi SC and I have peace of mind.
For forte, there are too much of electronic stuff, I think Naza (at least for now) still have of good technician to solve it.
For resell value, not one can predict Forte, but, previous resell value of Korean car is terrible bad.
