forte koup expensive. more than 100k. i'm looking for normal decent car.

Forte 2.0 is below 100k and it's in C segment. For me, City and Vios are already out of my mind because i just cannot compare a B-segment car with a C-segment car.

After searching for some time, i think Forte is really value for money.

I also feel weird of having 2 same car in one family but do you guys have any good recommendation for this situation?

Aiyokkk...i'm booking 6 speed too..( still in dilemma to pick the right color...white..black or bright silver...)

just get what you feel right...i'm happy driving my wife's forte

I think that's a one off issue. Nothing comes out perfect everytime anyways. When I took my 6 SPeed Forte also I ended up with some issues and I had to slowly sort them out but some owners had no issues at all and they were happy happy driving their car around. So do your bid as a customer, when you pick up your car, do your own checking first and make sure everything is in place, that is why we have Warranty to cover all the issues. Make sure you bring it up to your SA as well as a feedback so they are aware of such issues, hopefully some improvement can be done. I have noticed NAZA KIA service center improving so that seems to be a good sign.

Well, Malaysians are good to become a pathetic winner in own country only......
Wait till Intel and AMD cabut from Malaysia.... Then we can see......
Automotive industry is the best example on this.....

booked Forte 2.0 White.
freebies as below:
- SmartTag + T&G RM10
- Aircool/Agard tinted SN50 with 4mm security film.
- Kia logo
- Door Visor
- RM20-50 Fuel
- RM210 registered number.

May i know where u book?

When it is bad, it is going to be bad all the time, and the root cause is shoddy assembly work.

On the constant "nyek nyek" sound from the dashboard, my wife asked me why like that wan. I said blame it on Naza Kia Gurun plant. They probably don't have the bump and rattle test in their plant during PDI.

Sigh.

^ I've asked a service center about such problem, they say they can do something about it though.. (tighten some screws, add in something etc etc) Did you bring it up to the SC?

Yes especially the 'nyek' sound. I have it before and during my service time, they did for me.

Those rattling noise is something not new for most brands.....
It is important to locate the actual source of the noise...
Once located, either use double sided tape or Insuflex(or anything that is soft) and stick on that nearby area.....
It will be more when your car reach 3-4 years....

anyone changing thier 17 inch tyre to 16? how the spare tyre?

i keep the spare tyre

That defeats the purpose to keep 17" spare tyre while all your 4 wheels in 16". Unless you ready to give out your extra 17" for free.

guys.. anybody has the ebony black touch up pen.. any specific ways to use it.. my car kena scratch.. bloody hell..

on the other hand..nope! the diameter would be abt the same so you can still use the 17" spare...its just temporary is ok but if direct replaement thn cannot wor..pelik!

which one happier? 308 thp or forte?

u send it back to SC and they open this.. open that.. then bo syok liao lor.. like the whole car kena rape to make it stop making the nyek nyek sound.
