After drving the car for few days and i found that :-

The smell from outside very fast suck into the car. If you pass through hawker stalls or an old car in front, the smell can get into the car very fast.. can improve?

One more thing, silverstone tyre really noisy and the nvh of forte not so great.. can someone share how to improve NVH without changing the tyre?

perhaps something i buy i expect to be problemless and work they way it should. it shouldn be water inside. haha

if that is the case my compressor or my a/c confirm got big problem already! i set my temp at 19 and it is rather cold for me ( just nice la) if i set anything above 20....omg ....my car got hi tech dual zone a/c already driver side like warm air coming out passenger side will be cold. it is really frustrating me. if any brothers here can give good advice on this matter would be a major help.

at the very first front page post, under maintenance table.

what if all those non KIA cars opt for fully synth?

coz ive done this in my previous BLM, perfectly allowed plus if u are smart, u can strike out some small2 items coz it is obviously replaced too often already.

what is the source of this maintenance summary? to me, it is soooo KIA biased. haha

hi all
i got these maintenance table (full syn n semi syn) from my sa
duno whether help anot.

Same case for me. If auto set to low blower speed, then the driver side will be colder than the passenger side. Asked Kinrara SC they said its normal because of the location of the compressor. Somehow i doubt that 

Where to get and how much ah? Besi 1 ah?

The list price included aircon services?
For toyota vios service price in the list i think the aircon services cost not included.

good job bro for this. Well done!  If you could include the K5 Optima then it'd be better 

Don't think the cost table for Vios 1.5 is accurate bro, likewise for my City. My wife's Vios surely cost more than that during the major servicing.

Maybe I should compile all the receipts from the vehicle to give a more real-world scenario instead of the low estimates by the various automakers.

One thing they don't consider is the lack of attention paid during assembly of which we customers have to spend our most precious commodity - our time, to go to the SC to have it fixed.

If we can charge the automakers for these kinds of inattention, I think then we can strike a fair comparison on which automaker does make good and reliable cars.

yeah, some slight difference, my bro-in law's Vios, 5K service, cost him RM90++.

so, izputra, back from fucuk?

most of the service price, i believe is the minimal estimated amount, to make things look good.

Does anyone have the maintenance schedule that includes what parts are changed at which interval? I am looking for the 4 speed's schedule.

4speed vs 6 speed

thats the K3 rumour.... if u need a car... u dont have to wait for the K3 to reach Malaysia. Cars will always have newer models. if you think its time to get a new ride.... just go for the forte...  the offer is good, no other cars wit such spec will be selling at this price.... just buy it man.... haha

who knows the next forte/K3 will be more expensive....

Air-con piping insulation.

For those who complaint Forte ac not chill enough, perhaps better fc too...

did u feel cooling faster when u get into car under hot sun, share your thought bro

anyone heard of Huper Optik tint? is it any good? was quoted around RM2100 for whole car. 30% light transmission, 55% heat rejection. Ceramic based.

its not that dark under the sun. the owner put on her VW Golf. ask me to sit inside and see. i cant really feel the heat inside. and daytime can actually see inside the car

hi forte owners,
is that true that forte cannot be start if the gear is not in N or P mode? sorry asking this noob question coz all the while have been driving manual car. should be getting my car friday or next monday.
