True. I am looking around for papago to be installed in the new HU also. Will try out the speednavi first before deciding to try and change it. Im wondering if the HU only detects speednavi.exe as an application or does it detect any .exe file as an executable for GPS. If yes then changing to papago/garmin is highly likely.
I was thinking to get shop to put sticker along the glossy edges of the HU and gear console. Probably carbon fiber sticker maybe? Anyone got good info regarding this?

if using original hu easy to cover it, try stick few times and it will looks perfect..gear part very hard to make it looks smooth, fit and nice.
there are glossy vinyl black sticker, i used it and it looks like no sticker applied at all.

the problem is now im using lcd hu, the glossy part become a lot wider. rclxub.gif

hi guys, how is the fuel consumption of a Forte 1.6? I have a friend who drives a Forte, she said will not consider it as the fuel saving kind.

forte for comfortability and stability..

for high efficiency in fuel saving, u need small, empty and basic car.

1.6SX 4speed owner here.

Do you guys notice that when we drive about 100-110km/h in highway, you will feel really under power while there is a small up slope road condition? it really very difficult to acceleration except we down to gear 3:(  But if we down to gear 3, the rpm spike from 2k+ to 4k right? Is this normal?
*
100-110 should not give problem to forte, maybe u no press pedal harder?
my 1.6 6 speed quite promising in highway at 160-170, those mahal mahal car always keep a distance too or beam when far, only sometime inspira looks very fast from behind want cucuk i got so scare so i give way. other seems always far away.

really funny these fella's. i think they are trying to take us for a ride. On my side my SC told me that when i complain this issue my driver side blower is less than the passenger side and also emitting warm air instead of cold air. they told me the reason the aircond is not as powerful on the driver side is due to the blower is located at the passenger's side. ( which i think its total bullshit, most cars i think the blowers are located at the passenger side and i dont seem to have this problem with my previous car which the blower is located on the bottom left). as for the cooling problem they have still yet to solve and i am heading over this saturday to solve this 1 and for all (hopefully!!)
*
actually i read this somewhere also on the kia forum.
but it should not emit warm air, it is just less cold than the other side.
