If you guys are going for 2.0 Forte, then might as well wait & see how much is the high spec 1.8 Elantra (according to a Hyundai SA, Avante will be renamed Elantra for the coming new model). Actually if I had the budget as you guys, that is what I would do but then I already bought 1.6SX which I comfort myself that I have a good car at that price, only thing I wished for is a bit more power which I am thinking of improving by changing to lighter & smaller 16 inch rims tho suffer from the looks.

Elantra has set the standard for interior & exterior design for C-segment cars & they are selling about 20K units in USA every month. If you buy it, the design will last you for many years. Don't get me wrong, I am still a Kia fan as I feel this Kia projects a sporty, young & agressive image but for you guys with the budget, why not wait & check it out before making the decision?

XionCity, how many times ppl have to remind/tell you again and again to resize your photo? =.=''

Yah, too bad i dun have the budget of 90K+ on my hand , i was actually looking for 70K+ car (1.6EX) and end up being poison by my friends pursuing 1.6X with additional 8K for the push start button and reverse camera, don't wana push too further anymore as i don't wish my installment becoming a burden to my daily life .

hahaha... he dunno to use irfanview software maaa...

how about purchase 1.6sx 2nd hand... within ur budget 70k...

4-speed =.=" mostly ~

CBU mostly

Indeed , and better QC too

i cant find any softwares to resize, i dunno how 2 resize too...everytime i need resize, i called my fren 2 do it, but he's now very bz...and that's also reason i put on 'SPOILER'...if not satisfied with the 'BIG' pictures, juz click 'SPOILER' again to close it...

Added on July 22, 2011, 11:24 amI always prefer original rims, due to the quality of the rim, toughness of the rim, and the settings is set by default, measured by KIA technical during car design and prototype stage...yes, i do agree 17'' stock rim is very heavy, but at least quality better than those Asian manufactured rims...i juz did some mod, now my power is very good..

OMG Freak accident! It's not in highway sumore can be that bad! Drive safe ppl!

Imagine how fast he drive as the impact can lift the bus up and slide the forte under it.

OMG sad to hear this, they survived but legs gone? but i dont get it, how come they didn't brake? doesnt make sense

Basically under below condition will cause someone not to brake :
1. under drug/alcohol influence
2. illegal racing
3. tailgating vehicles that blocked their front view at high speed
4. don't know the road condition at that area but still driving fast

very serious accident for forte to be in that condition, so far i know it is a very tough car. condolence to owner

Guys, I'm planning to get Forte 2.0. Any advise on performance, problems & how about the service center? Pls advise ,thanks.
