no major problem, some noise were fixed.

elantra is good if it's 2.0 which is around 100K+ ?

hi All forte owner,
you guys make me feeling to get a forte 2.0 (maybe white) if I can sell off my kelisa this weekend.

so far what are the major problems of forte besides alignment tend to left and rattling noise at dashboard/door panel?

the SA offered this to me:
1) old version w/o HU with discount of 1500
2) new version with HU

after 1st round of bargain, i get 1000 discount on the new version (with HU) + RM200 tinting voucher but no other freebies even full tank, smarttag/tng.
im actually waiting for elantra spec to compare but most likely i will go for forte. if so, i will try to get leather seat + full set of K logo on top of that
can any1 advise me whether my request is too much?? biggrin.gif


Added on March 29, 2012, 2:54 pmi mean the HU with touchscreen

i think now that the elantra launch it's price... KIA SAs will surely not want to nego that much... since they know everyone will decide on Forte. But i heard there is another FL for forte sometime soon this year.... not sure what FL is that... going to book my car by May... now have to survey which SA gives the best goodies....
BTW... the SA in Autocity says he never heard of a boot tray and he ask the other SAs in the office and non of them even heard of it... seriously la those fellas... i think i need to go look for other SA already.

Not sure FL refers to exterior change or just fix hu only. If exterior change then better wait for it

No bodykits for the new fl.. But 2.0 comes with rear spoiler factory fitted, and a 2.0 logo behind..

So confirmed this is the only ´fl´? No real fl coming ? Hopefully the spoiler looks good n of quality
