Stock tyre are good enough don't worry Naza is require to meet specification stated by Kia ...

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.

break sensor, not really a common issue but can be fix by SC just turn the sensor higher that's all...

YOU kena tapau by LOTUS ELISE & 3 Series !!!
hahaha

shift your seat .. usually it happen when a seat is the same position for too long the lubricant had thin off .. hope it solve yours

Yes Forte vs City - FORTE is larger

definite illusion , just try sitting in the back seat with 3 person in a City and place the same 3 person into a FORTE now you can really feel the difference.
FORTE and Civic is similar in size but definite more rooms compare to Mazda3

Yerp the cup holder is kinda annoying at times, try placing the smaller one nearer to the gear, or place it at the lower leg area.

do you believe in different supply chain for different model/customer ?

performance acceptable , not very superb ...

common issues for new units: dash board sound

Common issue for old unit : pedal switch

Service center you have to state where you are from basically the famous ones are Chan Sow Lin, Selayang & Puchong - for SEL area

Added on July 23, 2011, 7:08 pmCar owners do regular check your head lamp , my recent travels saw alot of car on with one side head lamp .. from Far I tot was motor mana tau came close was a 4 wheel vehicle .. on a single night last week 1 spotted more than 10

For large vehicle don't follow so close, they don't check and notice break lights failure as easily compare to cars, further more the lights are so small compare to size of vehicle especially trailers and trucks , so guys don't follow a big vehicle so close , in fact they can't see you from the rear mirror if you are tailgating.

LIGHTS is important !!

Forte will not kill City nor Vios off the chart ... they will still be the tops players in that category but FORTE had taken a big chunck of their sales to reach aprox 500 units / month (max assembly from factory)

FORTE is very well known in US, Europe , Aus & SG

THey have taken so much bigger chunck of market share from T&H , and they are actually up against Altis & Civic unlike MY City & Vios ..... It would be a whole different story if KIA is allowed to have an assembly factory to cater for APAC region.. but this can't happen because of AP & loop sided auto policy
