Yuppp...

ok cool. thx for the advice

hi, i got my 2012 forte 1.6 sx last week, i found the fuel consumption is high, which is 11.8liter/100km(show on meter). which mean only 8.547km/liter.

I am 90% city + 10% highway.Found some guy can get around 8liter/100km. any modding(wihtout void warranty) can get a better fc?

Is the fc normal for this car? Issit becos new car so the fc will be higher?tks for any comment.

Hi there, hope my message did not come in too late. I did mine at Subang USJ there. There's a KIA centre there with a very helpful lady boss. I had an accident a while back as well and I had to claim insurance, that's where I found out not many KIA centers actually does insurance and they are capable of doing it..

Same problem with your wife's, a lorry knocked my side mirror and took out the whole damn thing.. I had to claim the lorry's third party insurance (which is darn painful to get the insurance company to release $$).

This lady boss was really friendly and she settled everything for me from day 1 (insurance claim all the way till repair) and she manage to speed things up for me (else I would've waited more than a year instead).

PM me if you need the contacts, I'll pass you her contact details.

Added on January 30, 2012, 8:14 pmSince you just got your car last week, wait till after your 1k service then check again.. Mine was around the same as yours too, but after 1k service it's pretty good now.

Though bear in mind, you are driving 90% city, which means you are more likely to be stucked in traffic jam most of the time, if you are a heavy footer, you might want to learn how to drive smoothly (be gentle on the pedal) then u'll see significant difference. Forte is quite heavy anyways..

i drive smooth as this is my new car, i found forte really heavy, pick up is not so good also, perhaps it get better with time.
may i know your average fc after 1k service? more on city or highway?

Mine 80% city 20% highway. about 10-11L/100KM since I'm always stuck in traffic jams..

If highway driving, it drops to about 7-8L/100KM.

maybe u're using D, try paddle shift and rev till 6k rpm... no need to wait 1k km, lenjan jeee...

I juz got my 1.6sx b4 CNY, 90bucks juz lasted me for 450km. Going for my 1st service on Thursday. Hope this will improve the FC.

Will they change the engine oil on the 1st service? What else would they change?
