n00b asking questions....
Forte are everywhere....in Langkawi cheaper!
I seen forte with Langkawi plates, with langkawi driver(owner), service at Alor Setar SC....
guess wat...he's the 1st person who booked Forte in Kedah!! 3 mths b4 lauched, ald booked....
Do they sell Forte in Langkawi??? my answer is YES!!!!

eh NHC guy, gd 2 hear that u hv chance 2 drive Forte 1.6 with ur frens, but complaining abt FC????
come on....i drove my Forte from Alor Setar to Tapah campsite, with 5 ppl, carrying loads of heavy luggages......
as i remembered, still got around distance 254KM to empty...dare 2 say???

admit u r a Forte basher...or korean brand basher....prove only say ur NHC or VIOS good.....
coz u owned 1......i would say u rather BRAINLESS!!
do research b4 u comment anything!!!!

TS.....test drive both cars, Inspira and Forte, so that u can choose ur future car.

Basically, wat i dun like abt Inspira :
1st. Spacious, but smaller than Forte.(some of my frens said, sitting in my Forte as sitting in a BMW 3 series!!)
2nd. Rebadge (that's 1 of the reason I dun like NAZA either)
3rd. Interior quality = not as good as Forte
4th. CVT GB : lots of ppl claimed that it's shifting gear is very smooth, but power wise....NAH!!!!!!
5th. A copycat of Lancer GT, copy it, lower the price.....oh...i din see TCS/ESC(Traction Control System/Electronic Stability Control) in Inspira, but in Lancer, got..I think....
6th. heard Lancer NVH not good, mayb Inspira worse
The only thing for me, Inspira good at is 1.8 Inspira vs. 1.6 Forte, 2.0 vs. 2.0, Forte wins!!!
Looks = Forte, Technology = Forte, Safety = Forte 2.0

Anything else u can say??? NHC guy a.k.a. Forte Basher

Added on November 16, 2010, 1:14 amoh, forget to say....this is by Proton salesman themselves :

'' Memanglah Lancer lagi elok, harga pon dah RM 130 lebih kut. Proton saja tukar lambang jer, lagipon dashbox quality xleh fight dgn Lancer lah, kerana cut cost ma.....sama jg teknologi, Lancer ada TCS, ini xda. Keta ni utk org yg budjet2 jer...mungkin beli ada 'perasaan' Lancer"

this is from salesman themselves....i still remember they said like that
even they hate Inspira themselves....prefer persona/Gen2/BLM....proudly Malaysian...

This clearly shows u r NHC fanboy...i dun think VIOS suitable 4 u, so i called u NHC fanboy or Forte basher...

but clearly i have to say something, although I am Forte fanboy
TS, PLZ TEST DRIVE BOTH MODELS, 1.8 INSPIRA, 1.6 FORTE, AND 2.0 FORTE/INSPIRA....THE CONCLUSION IS URS, THE CHOICE IS URS, I'VE MADE MINE

as for NHCguy a.k.a. kevin23, horrible drivetrain??? can u plz explain more abt it?? coz my car dun seems hv the problem...
yes, i agree 2 u, Korean cars still hv long way 2 go, y??? T&H established in Malaysia since 198x...but korean established since 1996 in Malaysia....
so, definitely :
1. T&H more buyers choice
2. they are used to T&H quality at that time(now ald sucks)
3. the reliability and service/aftersales services on T&H
4. Spare parts availability due to CKD units in Malaysia(for new cars), where else Korean still CBU units(for new cars)
5. bcoz of the high amount of buyers, the price increased(overpriced)

yet for Korean :
1. Established in late 1990s
2. new brand for users
3. bad experienced on spectra/sephia/rio/ria
4. quality issues on spectra is a turn down
5. mostly bcoz of the spectra models, that buyers hate KIA/Hyundai
6. bcoz of CBU units at that time, aftersales services is not good
7. Forte is new generation vehicle for KIA, thus buyers have hard time 2 decided 2 go for it(but is a 100% total change for KIA)
8. bought by NAZA(that's wat i hate either) NAZA aftersales service from wat i heard, is worse than Hyundai and KIA(I believe now)

and u said PUG308T....admit is a very good car, but the price wise...haha
for me if i hav money, yup, i will go 4 that car...problem is, my budget is out if that car cost RM84k++

yup....b4 i book my Forte, i was booking Saga BLM SE version auto as well, coz of salesman lied 2 me, i go for Forte..(4 mths vs. 2 weeks)

Added on November 16, 2010, 10:00 amProve it for Forte....
i admit, KIA Spectra, sephia, and maybe Rio is telan minyak
for u all said RIA is telan minyak also rite?? is MPV, different segment car, muz compare NAZA RIA/KIA Carnival with Toyota Estima/Alphard series...
then i wanna c u all said....telan minyak or not...

This post has been edited by XionCity: Nov 16 2010, 10:00 AM

citra wun makan oso ler......
yes, coz RIA is a different segment car and also different class, 2.0V6 MPV. must compare with Toyota Estima/Alphard/Honda Odysee/Stream
Wira is a B-segment Sedan/HB car. the best competitor is T.Vios/H.City/Fiesta...
Forte is a C-segment sedan car. the best competitor is Civic/Altis/Focus
if wanna compare FC...plz compare accordingly, not according to price(which is for msia mindset buyer's choice only)

Added on November 16, 2010, 10:31 am1.6cc above, C-segment cars are mostly optimized for HW Cruise, not for City drive pleasure....so, if using it drive in city, sure feel telan minyak 1..KL exceptional coz HW everywhere...

where else from kancil 660 start till 1.5 are more optimized for City drive(that's y called Honda CITY)....thus u wun feel telan minyak during city drive, but FC is quite high on HW(same 2 my dad's old Toyota Avanza-traded in for N.Grand Livina 1.8)....

plz understand wat type of cars, design for wat type of roads/cruise....

not belif, try use BMW/Merc/Audi....pump RM50 petrol vs. Viva/Myvi RM50 petrol consumption....then u knw wat i mean..

smart one choose inspira, Forte really leave ppl SPEECHLESS

i would say, smart 1 will be the 1 not so smart ones.....

it says SMART....which can be following :
not SMART at all, SMART abit, not so SMART one, SMART person, SMARTer abit, very SMART

i think Inspira will be in SMART abit or not so SMART one tab...
