i meant im staying in damansara, it's a bit far from my place to puchong bandar kinrara

need info as where can test drive 2.0 forte sedan & koup?

had visited serdang SC but only 1.6 avail...

TQ

try glenmarie

oh ok the better go to selayang SC... i'm from sg buloh...

Tks so much ... I think most prob I'll be going for forte 1.6sx but jus worried that it'll have lots of prob (nvr own a Korean car b4). My fren who is a car sales personnel said that this 6 speed model shud be quite good in FC.
For the 5yrs warranty is it means that I must stick w their workshop for servicing or else warranty will be void??? Is their servicing charge expensive??

Bro, lowered springs aren't supposed to be used with ori abs, you should be sourcing short throw abs because the shorter spring has compressed the ori abs and cut short its lifespan.

Forte Koup got full review from Paultan's blog...

i m ordering original spring all 4 sets...

hi all..i will go for my 1st 1000km service this weekend...mostly going to the puchong SC..anyone know if it is open on Sunday? and usually what is the total cost for 1st service?..exceed 500??

Sunday closed..half day on Saturday.

First service : Opt for mineral oil = RM8x.xx ; Opt for full syn oil : RM23x.xx

Exceed 500km = ok. Dont exceed 1000km, else warranty void

so cheappp???..

btw, what is the default oil that comes with forte??...full syn??..meaning i can reach 1500km baru go service?

Exceed 1000km warranty void? What will happen after that.. pay for the labour?

Ohh sorry..my statement is unclear.Actually i meant this..In order to maintain the warranty, dont exceed the next 1000km after the first 1000km for the first service. In other words, u can send your car for the first service before u reach 2000km in overall mileage. Else, warranty void..In this case, if let say u send your car for the first service at mileage 2100km, the 5 year warranty void already..that was what i was told by the SC personnel last time..

But for labour, i'm not so sure. But i believe u still can get free labour for the first 3 services though u already breach the warranty.

Yupp..u can reach up to 2000km..but better send the car for first service well below 2000km la

I am using Valvoline VR-1 and it is very good. Do the KIA SC accept oil purchased outside. No right?

I just want to check with you guys. Did anyone of you install Ultra Racing front strut bar, front lower arm, rear anti roll bar, rear lower arm and stiff ring for your forte? Mind to share?

i'm using semi liqui moly

rumours said that only front lower arm and rear lower arm are sufficient enough... but pair with "nice" adjustable suspension too...

I juz put the Upper Rear Bar...really can feel the diff when conering

I want to know this too. Anybody can confirm and SC that accepts engine oil purchase elsewhere?

I remember reading somewhere in the post that they do not accept any oil purchased outside
