thanks for your feedback!
for no.2 - it is actually very interesting that the SA mentioned that because 17 inch it has better grip on the road because of it's wider surface touching the ground. to me it sounds logical. did some light google research

"And although it didn’t register on the dBA-meter, the 15- and 16-inch arrangements had a more pleasant sound quality than the larger tires."

Thanks for your feedback

1. What is JNS? (sorry to ask)
2. Yep seems. It seems to be true.
3. Sounds reasonable but this is one of my top priority check list
4. I asked my SA already. Just need to know the baseline and not ask for the moon and the sun. Wait SA say I'm asking for crazy demands. LOL!

KIA is on tour in penang on 17th to 24th August at the Queensbay Mall so you should go there and test drive the car. All i can say is that the stock kumho tyres for first batch 6 speeder are kinda noisy but to me i'm used to it already and its acceptable actually since low profile tyres take longer to go bold / botak. Newer batch using silverstone should be better tho in terms of less road noise.

I'm bringing my wife there.. Hopefully to let her try out the 2.0

what do you get from the tour? if compare to normal test drive at showroom?

i'll bet non fortezen like siti or dugong owners will regret of their car looks =]

Hi All!

I'm in the progress of buying a car and now I want to get feedback about Kia Forte. I'm not into in the discussion about resale value, perception, T&H comparison. I already know what I wanted and what is my budget etc. Please don't ask me to read 1 by 1 throughout these 11 threads. I find it most of them are out of topic of what I want to find.

I just want to get honest constructive feedback from forte owners here about your kia forte on the following:-
1. Naza Kia service centre for PG Island only - Please feedback on your experience when you took your car to service.

2. Tires noise - I test drove the 4 speed version with kumho tires. it is really noisy. What's your feedback for the 6 speed version. If it is still noisy, what have you done to improve it other then checking the tire pressure? PS:- I'm not going to turn on the car stereo volume loudly

3. Interior and exterior rattling noise - For existing the pioneer 4 speed owners; after 1 yr ++... do you have any of that problem?

4. Any promotion and freebies offered by PG SA?

Thanks! 

i dont think is because kumho tyre, becoz, i had change it to michelin pilot sport 3 and the tyre roaring still there.

sometimes is quite annoying..somehow i feel, my last myvi is much better on road noise compare to forte 2.0 6spd. no kidding.
but other than that, like wind noise. of coz forte a lot lot better.

p/s: after receive a car, i straight away change rims/tyre

is it? i heard the stopped produce black, red and metal bronze..but if they still produce good la..
