Mostly due to brake switch problem (not the start/stop button itself) & some cases are due to loose battery terminal connection. Since that the current Forte got 5 years warranty, i think u should consider it as a piece of mind. The part (brake switch) might take sometime to arrive (if no ready stock) but the car still can be started anyway using an alternative method without pressing the brake.

Already use my car for almost 1 year 2 months now..the smartkey battery still doesnt show any lack of signal transmission as of now

price also very keng

berapa avante price for 1.6 & 2.0 ?

Hi, yesterday I contacted 3 Hyundai branch managers thru SMS & the answer I got was:

#1: SMS me back with dunno when launching & dunno what price

#2: Called me to tell me launch in Sep & price from 90K to 110K as still not finalized specs - if sell at 90K then many features will be taken out. Said can put RM500 booking.

#3: SMS me back with launch in Sep & price from 90K to 100K

If at that price, I supposed Forte 2.0 will get hit together with Chevy Cruze (not that they are selling well anyway) 

Actually this Avante looks fantastic but I got 3 small concerns:

#1: Air-cond vents looks a bit small & located low on the dashboard - not sure efficient enuff to cool the rear passengers or not. If cannot then have to set air cond fan to HIGH most of the time & then will have more noise.

#2: Lots of reviews from US proclaims it the best compact car at the moment. However our beloved Forte is proven to be quite reliable & popular based on the 6,000+ units that are running on the road compared to Avante who will be new to our hot & pot-holed filled roads!   

#3: Wish I could wait for it but since the Govt implemented 18-point check before selling 2nd hand cars, I need to get rid of mine fast!!!!!!! My Forte 1.6SX Clear White is coming next week! 

Hi bro, Forte also awarded "2011 TOP SAFETY PICK" la....all cars also "2011 TOP SAFETY PICK" 

My one week old Forte started to squeak already, it comes from the dashboard
