leather seat standard for 2 liter

leather seat standard for 2 liter

@LLH It's a standard leather for 2.0

i join this thread from pre-V1 - V10, resale value is a "hot" word   but don care, i already enjoy for more than 15mths of driving u all can keep "debating" abt it hahaha

it's a 1.6 or 2.0?

By his review, looks like no....

Hmm...problems? There wasn't any big problems for mine (1yr).

The relatively minor problems my car had (mostly just some sounds that my sensitive ears picked up...the car is quiet, so they sound more obvious):

- Squeaking sound from the seat. Still there after 1yr and 7x visit to service center. Gave up on it...not always noticeable.
- Aircond vent click click sound. Probably the clips are not good. After parking under the hot sun, there's "orchestra" of click sounds. But after a while it stops. Again they said can't do much about it during the recent service clinic. I checked out the newer Fortes and I pressed hard on the vents...found them to be a lot more secure, so no problems for new buyers I suppose 
- Some dashboard rattling...comes and goes, not always reproducible, so I gave up on that too.
- Seat belt height adjuster noise. Sometimes there, sometimes not, now I ignore it. Slightly annoying as the adjuster is located right next to my ear.

Some mechanical problems me/other people had:
- Air cond compressor. Heard some cases of them bursting. But most of the time the symptoms show up earlier (probably shaking a lot when turned on). So, they get replaced before the big problems show up. I think KFC got his compressor replaced. In the service dealer I go to, looks like more than 10 cases in Penang.
- Suspension: er..only hear from KFC that his absorbers gone....probably due to driving style?? Haha...
- Engine hum. I got my power steering pump replaced as my engine had a humming noise (a whirling sound that you can hear 1-2 seconds after you stepped and released the throttle). But some degree of humming will still be there if we're using hydraulic ps as it is generated by the moving liquids.
Car problems will always hit a certain percentage of people. Other than a few minor things (which I think often occur in T&H cars too!) the Forte is great. Still smiling while driving it after a year

since you ride a myvi before, please do not expect the FC will be the same. coz forte is under C segment car with heavy body and 17" rim.
my FC is considered good enough.. and heard the new FL will give good FC (improvement 10% more from 4 speed)

first time heard. I suppose your friend still able to start the key using manual override by pressing the start button once then press and hold for 10 seconds?

What was the reason for the start button failure according to the SC? This sounds serious yet its the first time hearing that cannot start the car even with the failsafe method.

Guys I am still struggling whether to get Mazda3 or Forte. Went to PJ Kia Showroom and the people and service there are really suck...really worry on the after sales service....Like not bother to do business like that...
