Indeed forte's rear seat is smaller as the trunk is bigger. Forte is just nice for 4 persons but dun expect much with 5 pax inside for long journey. want rear comfort? Buy s class or 7 series.

Same as civic. Most of the cars come with the equipment nowadays. So what is the main concern there? No car is perfect in this world so I can't really see the reason for holding up from buying forte just because of the rear seat? If u worried about resale or other things else and u hold the forte ownership, it may still reasonable. But if rear seat stop u from buying it? It might sound ridiculous as u wont be satisfied with any cars. Well, my friend's c class is just same size as forte. No offense la. Just my worthless 2 cents.

Hmm.. Within the price range I think forte is still the best especially space and of cuz dun compare it with mpv.. I drove from jb to perak for 7 hours journey at least no one claim to have backbone pain. And there were 5 of us and all adult of cuz. Want summore bigger? Then may need to consider the new sonata? Lol. Best.

Read through from the past few pages and i saw many members were comparing 4 & 6 speed.
Just a little additional info here, my 4 speed 1.6 sx 110kmh@2.8k rpm, 150kmh@4k

Been using RON97 but since fuel price hike up to RM2.50 per litre, i changed to RON95 and i do not really feel the lose of power.

For my opinions, i do not think that 4 & 6 speed do have huge difference in FC for city driving cuz how often u can change to gear 6 in city area. I think it should have certain rev then it can change gear right? I hardly drag my gear 4 also while driving.
Kia vehicles are no more fuel drinker i can say, i drove from jb to ipoh, pumped around RM100 RON97 while my friend Kenari pumped RM80 RON95. Forte worth every single cents...

Halo to all sifus here,
Until today, i still saw some people are doubt with warranty extend including myself. Is there any way to check whether my car is under 5 years warranty? When I bought my car, SA promised to have 5 years warranty but do we have any documents to show that our car is under the scheme? I can't check with my SA as he has resigned already.
Thanks in advance.

Hey.. Thanks for immediate reply. Will check with them later. Thank you

How ridiculous that I was being told that bodykit I got now from the first day I took my forte is not abs material from other shop while I paid the abs price. SA MIA and now staring at the faded colour bodykit and @@,!!:&,$:!!,$,!
Haiz.. Carrot chopped.
Future fortezen pls beware..

Well.. Really lesson learnt. The SA is no more in Naza..

Luckily i got my plate number in a reasonable price. haha..


Something to ask sifus here.. Any idea how much to replace the tweeter covers? I installed a tweeters but size too large and din expect the shop drill a hole for me and now look yuckx.... Mind to share the price? If its too steep, i'll customised it.
Another lesson learnt, tweeters like alpine with casing which is not removable better put in dashboard. Cuz if drill hole at the cover, the tweeter is not at good position and will aim to the side air vent. The sound is PUI~ now..

Why?

Hi all.. Any recommended service centre in JB?

Tks.. I'm thinking of going there for my 2nd servicing tomorrow. Last time i did my first in Taman Johor Jaya. Things they changed are varied from the servicing list i downloaded from internet.. Total damage for 100 bucks more than actual. So i will give impian emas a try although it is a bit far to me.
Tks again.

Okay.. My little 2cents.

Just done my 2nd servicing in Impian Emas Service Centre last Saturday. Service there is pretty good with clear explanation.
I did my first servicing in Taman Johor Jaya, half an hours spent only and they charged more for changing something out of the servicing list provided by KIA such as trans oil and wiper soap and it cost me another 100 bucks more than usual RM 230.XX
My 2nd servicing this time took me 2.5 hours. They took my car for alignment and balancing but i found it quite exp for another RM54. Although time taken is longer and further than my place, i would recommend Impian Emas.
