Most probably. Seeing some people got their car in short time of period, it should be sisa2 from 2011.

Planning to get Kia Forte 1.6, should i go for EX or SX  hmm.gif
and i wonder their after sales service is good or not and is the replacement parts easy to get? hmm.gif
*
economical EX, more features SX, pat chest, ask taste...
their after sales service is subjective but if u from KL/SEL i can recommend a good one.
replacement parts also subjective, brg pelik2 need to wait 2-4 weeks (import from kia korea), brg simple2 max 2 weeks (gurun mari)...
now forte CKD aldy, even front windscreen, dr cermin pun ada supply...

QUOTE(aiden.azari @ Feb 2 2012, 09:59 PM)
1. if i want to buy this car, i want to know about the kia forte services whether it expensive or not??
2. it there any problem about this car?like power window failure like proton car or others problem?
3. if i want to sell back after buy it, how about the value of this car??because most of car like naza ria or citra, the value when to sell back is quite low...
*
1. go 1st page, search "Maintenance Comparison Table" (dunno whether year 2012 is still related or not but at least u can get a rough idea)
2. subjective, minor of coz ada but send it to SC to fix it. recently, mine just claimed the rear torsion bars after 2 years, although isn't a prob coz didn't affect handling but tayar makan sebelah very quick, since it can't be adjusted (although i read vice versa), belasah je la claim...
3. subjective, currently 2010 car value is 68-70k (2 years old) - or u can search mudah.my to get the idea...

the rest can read "FAQ by Cyberkewl" at 1st page...

Have you tried switching to a synthetic atf?
The mineral atf in our Fortes aren't that great, imo.
*
mineral replace every 30k km, if using fully syn (like shell atf) can last until how many km ?

QUOTE(tailingchuan @ Feb 3 2012, 11:55 AM)
Hope you guys can give some insight or alternatives here.

my bro in law replace a whole front windscreen at dr cermin alor setar... RM1.3k

I think for best performance better change every 20k km. I don't know about traffic in your area, but in Klang Valley, anyone who commutes to work in the morning and evening traffic should classify their cars as "extreme environment" and service their cars more regularly.
*
i didn't drive the car to work but only used it for a long distance like outstation or balik kampung... mileage clocked 26k km for 23 mths
i'm riding a bike to ofis everyday... so back to the question, even use syn gb oil still need to change follow mineral oil punya duration ?

QUOTE(taurusium @ Feb 3 2012, 03:18 PM)
And also, do put full bodykit, change emblem or replace screen double din at dash board effects warranty?
*
it's subjective anyway...
u can do/mod anything u want but be advised to keep the ori part.
if something happen, restore it back...
so far bodykit, emblem no issue but the din 50-50 since its tampered existing wiring... if do outside, need a good w/shop not 'brothers' type...

QUOTE(gregy @ Feb 3 2012, 03:28 PM)
I suppose if you use synthetic atf you could extend the intervals. After all, 60k km intervals can be considered more than needed, even for mineral (since this GB is supposed to be maintenance free).
Ultimately, the best gauge is your own butt feel. When the performance starts to deteriorate according to your butt dyno, baru tukar lah.
*
wow 60k km...? the manual stated 45k km but major owners follow SC recommendation which is 30k km...
this GB is maintenance free meaning no gear filter change is needed ? just flush like that...?
ok la will switch to syn after this...

How much does it cost or got back some pocket money since 16" should be cheaper right? Mind to share the details?
Any significant fc improvement after change to small rim?

unfortunately sad to say, it didn't work that way... kena top-up lagi ada laaa...
from few owners that had be done it, yes improve fc but a little2 only... major improvement is more comfort & can hit many potholes as they like...

The technician checked and told me that my front left type was eaten due to pull left problem and suggest me to switch the front tyre with back tyre, no balancing is required as informed by him.
Did they show u the front left tire tread ?

QUOTE
BTW, any branch/ dealer open on Sunday near PJ area?
I think none but u can go to nazakia website and call the SC one by one.
But I believe u can re-check & re-alignment at any trusted outside shop.

hmmm... i dun have a bodykit installed but if always scrap bump, why now it's become std fitted in new forte...
u road bump too high kot... or ur bodykit not follow specs...

what kind of FC do you guys getting; best, average and worst FC results?
*
mine 2.0
6l/km - hway driving 110km/h until EOL
8l/km - mix driving (hway + city)
10l/km - city driving + rempit style...

QUOTE(suai @ Feb 5 2012, 09:23 AM)
NO. They didn't show me the tire tread.
3rd Party Shop? Warranty won't void? And are they capability to to Forte's alignment? As i know, they need to reset something related to ESC / ETS after alignment?
*
u should ask them to show u the tread before let they done anything... try this...
warranty not avoid if adjust alignment only, those few small SC also refer to outside shop if they dun have alignment machine...
raydiance has a capability to do forte's alignment, had been tried/claimed by our few owners...
reset something i'm not sure but they can advise u... or u refer to MDPS (Motor Driven Power Steering), only 2.0 have, 1.6 dun have...

epo - any idea roughly how much they charge to fix the pull left alignment issue?
*
They charged it exp, RM120 for the both nuts. Never bother to install it.
U can't find it at parts shop coz the nuts are different.
Mine just do a normal balancing, set toe to 0, camber still factory settings which is -1.8 for both sides. Will reduce the -ve later when buy a new tyres...
