Optional is to use Paddle Shift

saga blm got such feeling

Try switching your multi function display to "Instant" mode. When you see the bar at 0l/100km, what's happening is the car's momentum is turning the engine and keeping the alternator, air cond, power steering etc working. All these things impose a load which slows the car down. Once below a certain speed the "Instant" bar will come alive again. During this period you will find that engine braking is less pronounced because fuel is reintroduced to fire up the engine.

Engine braking saves fuel and brake pads.

I also have that gla gla gla sound... if sit 2 people.. but the sound appear when there's motorcycle passby... so weird... i tot is motorcycle sound.. but it can be heard at behind of my seat.. but then the sound gone.. wow!!
(Kia Forte SX)

Perhaps ur windows sound due the bass from motorcycle exhaust...

Sorry I didn't follow earlier about your torsion beam. What was wrong with it?

Rear left camber reading : -2.6 (too negative)
Rear right camber reading : 0.0
Resulting rear left tire eat 1 side so quick. Since the camber can't be adjusted, then need to claim warranty.

camber install by same sc??

What do u mean camber installed by same SC ?

U know how to use paddle shift mie?(water gor)

wow torsion beam also can replace..havent do any alignment and balancing..now mileage 3k alrdy..i better get so check up soon..

U can check from the back on the flat surface...
U rear tires shouldn't terkangkang too much...

hi everyone=) , i am interested in kia forte very much. Anyone know whether the 'engine start/stop' button is available in the 1.6ex model? And if it not available,is there any way that we can top up a little bit more money to make it available? Thanks a lot

1.6ex don't have, only 1.6sx..just get the 1.6 sx la, worth it with lots of goodies especially the reverse camera is a steal man!

reverse camera? how does it work?

besides that,what are the differences between SX and EX?

really interested in this car . oh yea,and how long is the waiting period?

The reverse camera automatically activates when you engage the reverse gear - the camera will display live feed directly onto the rear view mirror in the car, about 30% of the rear view mirror will be used to display the camera image (live). The camera is situated just above the rear license plate holder.

See pic below for better idea:





Difference in the trim - you can refer to the first page and see the FAQ by CyberKewl (me). Here's the common Q & A on it:

Q: Which trim/version of the forte is most worth it to buy?
A: The SX version is the most bang for buck, whether you're going for the 1.6 or 2.0 SX. If you can spare the cash for the road tax cost of the 2.0, go for it (approx < RM 400). The 1.6 SX has extra goodies such as reverse camera, paddle shifters (!!), stability control programmes such as EBD, CBC, BAS, TCS (the 1.6 EX only has ABS), 6 CD changer, Electric folding mirrors, Keyless entry & start/stop engine button, full auto aircond system, Front fog lamps. On the other hand the 2.0 SX has an improved Motor Driven Power Steering, Cruise Control, Leather seats, side & curtain airbags (and of course, a 2 Litre engine!). Ultimately if you're alright with the lower spec EX which does not have the full stability control programmes and on a tight budget, its still a steal compared to many other cars in the market.

Waiting period - no idea, you have to ask the Sales agent for that.

Waiting period i think now quite fast... less than a week but ensure u ask SA to show u the ready stock car in their yard... loan secure also must prob free...
Just came back from selayang SC last 2 weeks and saw their 10 units ready stock...

Thank you guys so much for replying


so the rear image will be displayed on the mirror? that is soooo
the 1.6ex specs really blew me away, erm,what is 'full auto aircond system' and 'cruise control'?

i see...thanks alott

outside hot, then the aircond will increase. If I am correct.. But my SX also so cool.. wont hot at all.. lol ><
