In theory it should be that way. Too bad though. Would have preferred if the car can sense the remote out of the car and if out of range, the engine should shut down. Better security feature dont you think?

Oh tested by SA eh? I see Thought of trying myself haha.

Dangerous yes, but there are always solutions. Just that more features = increase of cost. So kia dont bother to add too much features for that.

If bumpy try reducing the tire air pressure by abit. The suspension cannot be too soft else prone to body roll which is bad for cornering.

The center console to the middle of the back passenger floor to the right side of the boot floor. Those part will heat up alot especially during jams. This is due to the exhaust system location. Might be a good thing to add some heat insulator around those area beneath the chasis.

White hard to mantain but i think forte looks best in white, trust me mine is white too silver easiest to maintain but looks dull

paint protection is a must nowadays. pps or sierra glow is good or if you want to DIY try permanon.

MFC starter kit is just a t shirt, roadtax holder and club sticker i think. Join the facebook group, its more active there.

Haha, well thats bad for your car as it will damage your fuel pump and the catalytic converter if you are unlucky. Dont do that again

Well come to the forte club

As the sensor detects that there are more air going in the engine so the ECU will pump in more fuel into the engine. More power = more fuel consumption. There is no such magic as less fuel to get more power

Dude, you sure 4th gear at 110kmh is at 2.6/2.7k rpm?

Yeah thats why im second guessing his reply

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

Yes somehow i doubt their explanation, though kinrara SC seems to be quite reputable mine not as irritating as yours tho.

Please share your result here after you head to SC

Clearence shouldnt be a problem, not sure about full load tho. Bodykit will have problems exiting steep carpark ramps, tend to scrape the bottom.

Yes new forte comes with touchscreen HU, if want the old HU i think there is a 1.5-2k discount?

Engine noise is abit loud pass that mark but i think most cars are like that, no?

I believe its due to the efficiency of your SA, keep calling and ask him to get the process done faster. That also depends if your SA have ready stock or not.

Go in the car, close the door, start the car. No need to twist the light setting, you are able to see the information cycle by pressing the trip button.

One thing i notice is the idle engine noise is quite good, but once at 4k rpm and above it gets slightly louder than other cars i've driven. No big deal though

Thats strange. Why didnt you ask another SA in the showroom at that time? By right even if you didnt turn on the headlight the speedometer, rpm meter and fuel gauge meter should light up

I see. Yes all the meters including the information LCD screen will light up when you start the car.

Even if you scroll the switch to the lowest setting the light will still be on, just dimm. Still noticable especially still in showroom.

Yes, might be possible too i guess.

Yes can be fixed anytime. You have 5 years unliminted warranty, and rattling sound is considered manufacturing defect. I still have some rattling issues that still havent been solved.

Got. not for the 1.6

PU or ABS, the advantage of both have been discussed many times.

PU wont crack if hit something(good flex properties). ABS will crack. Advantage of ABS is that it is lighter.

Paying double for something that wont look any different. You decide.
