How was the new FL model doing with the tyre alignment problem?
Q1. Still got this issue?

Q2. If adjust the alignment at Service Center, will it be permanent/temporary solution?

Q3. If replacing the tyre and rim to Thicker type, will it solve the problem?

small problem la, a lot continental car also have this problem, as long as you dont make it a habit to let go of your steering, this should not stop you from buying this car.

bmw,merc,peugeot all have this problem.

Hello, new guys, old follower here!
Went to check out forte 6 speed today. Overall looks cool but the rear seat really shut me down!  sad.gif  The seat is way shorter than other cars and the seat means for 2 person instead of 3.
*
why dont you bring more ppl to test drive? like.....civic and lancer and compare with forte. then only you judge again?

to be frank, for three complete 30 years old man to fit in the rear seat, i think, u either need camry or MPV with captain seat.

unless you're telling me, your kids are big and they are all above 20 years old, and you need to bring the whole family out everyday, then u need an alphard.

usually ppl buying forte/civic/lancer have kids around 1-18. after 18 years old, you dont see them everyday, they in uni, and driving a car that you bought for them.

Middle design of the rear seat which opened up as cans/drinks holder coz uncomfortable for passenger to sit lar, dun u think so? I'm actually really keen on getting forte 6speed but dis really holds me to decide. sad.gif
*
well, ppl are still buying vios like nobody business, and i tell you, i cant find a comfortable seating position in front and back. myvi is better.

so....do you bring 5 person out, everyday, and long distance?

why not consider alza? or exora? or grand livina? they will smile, smile.gif and you'll have a straight face, lol.

i somehow disagree. i feel 6 speed and 4 speed has a very very big difference in terms of pick up and smoothness. but different ppl have different view.

hyundai under SD Motor, doubt to get an attractive price compare to Forte!

SD will always clear the unsold stock at year end, and thus lowering the second hand value. happened to ford focus and hyundai avante.

Getting a 1.6SX with leather seat forte soon... Undecided over the colours... Spicy red and metal bronze out of my list... Now leaves with 4colours... I love white the most but worry about the maintenance to keep it white all the time... How about the other 3 colours? What is your guys opinion about that?

On another note, heard that Naza had a big argument with KIA last year end on the way Naza not serving KIA's customer up to par. KIA wanted to pull back the distributorship however Naza made a promise to improve in this. This year Naza has set up a special team to take care of KIA's car... This is a great boost to all and to me as well in confidence in after sales support.

Heard from SA that, they hired a bunch of top management guys from toyota and perodua, and fired a few departments (head and most of the guys), in order to reorganize the structure. Anyone have info on this?

Though the 2.0 got the extra kick when u need it, the 1.6 on the other hand is already a decent car to drive & with some simple mods & tweak, u will get the extra kick that u need  brows.gif
