QUOTE(AskDS @ May 25 2011, 12:43 AM) Interesting that the Inspira that often being compared to Forte drop close to 45% in April while the Forte increase slightly in sales. So it looks like many who may original opted for Inspira might have jump over to Forte and Fiesta. Just a guess. Forte is more appealing than Inspira   |

QUOTE(titarium @ May 25 2011, 12:05 AM) Stock tyre are good enough don't worry Naza is require to meet specification stated by Kia ... I have tested the current 17inch kumho only. And the bumpy feeling is there especially driving on malaysia road.Tyre have to change any how because of Tax structure towards imported tyres are high .... If you still intend to change it it better to change a better profile tyre than the current Kumho , I have yet to shop for tyre yet so can't recommend you one ... probably the other 1st batch- 3rd batch owner can share more on this. The reason for me to swap is 17inch ->16inch becoz of higher profile tyre. I sacrifice the looks for comfortable.

QUOTE(AskDS @ May 24 2011, 09:48 PM) I think he is referring to this post in v8. according to the SA, the Silverstone tyre car is a CKD car d... the Kumho tyre car is CBU unit.... dunno correct or notStill those are just speculation what the FL will be fitted with. Now that the FL is out and still using G4Fc, it will remain a rumour that a GDI version is coming. Added on May 24, 2011, 9:58 pm @ Waachaaa, Can you share your experience with the Silverstone tyre? You probably test drove the Forte with Kumho tyre so how is the performance of the Silverstone tyre compared to Kumho? My car just arrived at the dealer today and confirmed it is fitted with 17-in Silverstone tyre. Wanted to know if it is better than Kumho or not. If it is no good, I will probably change it after 1K service. |

if not mistaken singapore has gold color forte officially but it is not an official color in korea, same goes with metal bronze. so if u want to find a touch up paint for that color is more difficult

QUOTE(XionCity @ May 26 2011, 03:08 AM) nope, CBU = 'K' start chassis number, CKD = 'P' start chassis number Im confused with the CBU and CKDAparts from the tyre. WHat does the chassis number means? K or P? Is that just merely alphabets or mean something. Last heard it was still imported but manufactured some parts locally,is it still the same? I am more concern on the quality and the QA of the car. |

Fully CBU only limited units when 1st launched of 4 spd Forte in Dec 09....Start January, will claimed as half CKD, coz shipment here, to rebadge and fix in the 4 doors, where else everything else is fully imported...
by now, I THINK parts fully imported, but doors, n tyres are fixed here..other than that, i dunno... |
