Hi guys, wanna ask how's the performance of the 4AT 2.0 forte. Any fortezens own this model of car? Does the fc very high? any problems with the engine or the ride?

How is the fc improvement to change the 17" rim to 16"? How much do it cost for trade in? Mind to share? Thx

Dear all. I am getting a used forte. do i have any issue claiming he warranty since i am the second owner already. do i have to do my service at kia authorised service center to make sure the warranty is valid

They charged it exp, RM120 for the both nuts. Never bother to install it.
U can't find it at parts shop coz the nuts are different.
Mine just do a normal balancing, set toe to 0, camber still factory settings which is -1.8 for both sides. Will reduce the -ve later when buy a new tyres...

does forte come with immobilizer? how about Ultra-Sonic Sensor for alarm, auto wiper?

Where you did the balancing and alignment?

while 1.8 will b around RM10x,xxx

mind telling us which 3rd party shop u went and how much u paid to solve all the problems?

no alarm, no immobilier, no sensor. need to install at SC. auto wiper also none. have auto headlight tho

I dunno about yours, but mine comes with an alarm system. Once the doors are locked, if I open any door the alarm will trigger. But instead of a dedicated alarm buzzer it sounds the car horn and flashes the signal repeaters. You can't start the car without the correct key being in the vicinity so yes there is an immobilizer.

sorry, i think you're right, there's immobilizer - you need the key fob to open the doors and start the car...i tried opening the doors once they are locked, no alarm triggered, how exactly did you trigger it? I know there's a horn button on the remote which will trigger the horn but other than that, i dont think our car has any sensor of any kind that will trigger the horn unless yours already installed when u bought the car which is not something that comes stock with the car, but rather a separate accessory.

1. Soft buzzing sound everytime i first step on the accelerator pedal, usually occuring around 1000RPM.
2. Harshness when going over bumps / uneven roads / high speeds above 110km/h. Suspension? Rims? It feels like "swaying".
3. Steering turns to the left by itself. Tyre shops "solved" the pulling to the left problem by pumping more air into the left tyres and less air into the right tyres. 32 vs 29. But the steering wheel still shifts to the left when going over bumps.

for forte 1.6sx and 2.0sx, which 1 has better FC? any idea?

Once the doors are locked, if I open any door the alarm will trigger.

1.  Urs 1.6 ? Dunno this one... need to check with 1.6 owners... SC said what ?
2.  Suspension tu... go SC & ask them to check the absorber. They've the machine that can read absorber conditions...u
3.  Try set toe = 0 , balancing all 4 rims...
1.6 laaa...
U mean locked via remote then open the door via steel key ?

Charged RM 150 by Michelin tyre shop for balancing, alignment and camber kit (I think it's a rip-off), but nope, handling/harshness issue still there.

They pumped-up the left tyres to 32/33, while reducing the pressure on the right tyres to 29.

I have less confidence going over bumps / rough roads / high speed with my Forte, compared to my previous Proton Gen.

Tried 3 Naza authorized service centres already, one in KL and another two in my current location (outside of KL). Plus two tyre shops.

Lastly, the parking brake release is not as smooth. Sometimes it does not release all the way. The "spring" not as "springy" as my previous car.

But I still like my Forte, leaves me speechless (for the right or wrong reasons) hahahah

There is a Lim Tayar shop (CKL) in Subang Jaya that charged me 90++ for alignment and one camber bolt. No need to import special bolt la, they have found a way to use what they have and add a washer to make it compatible. Works for me

In case anyone is interested, it's the shop next to a Shell station as you are driving along the NPE from Sunway heading to USJ. After passing SS14 and SS15 you need to exit the flyover and keep left to continue towards SS19 and USJ. Right after taking the bend, you will see the shop on your left. The boss is a young friendly guy who drives a 'Roc.

any1 know there to get the maintanance cost for forte? for every service including labor?
thankz in advance
