lolx...

btw, does anyone have radio reception issue? All the AF and other two more settings were turned off by the SA when I collected the car.

The radio reception is clear but for certain radio stations, the sound will be distorted like every 15s where the sound just disappear for 1 or 1/2 second; like it is being tuned for different sound mode if you have tuned your home wi-fi before.

is there any way to eliminate this? thx

Can anyone help me double confirm those listed below??

the "door open" alarm signal will not sound when i put my gear to "P" and shut off the engine and then open the door. Did any of you encounter this?

i also realise there is no light illumination on the power window switch on both rear doors. there is only illumination for the front passenger door and driver's door

is there any headlight alarm signal when u off ur engine and forgot to turn off the healights? i notice if i forgot to turn off the headlights... when i off my engine... the main light will turn off but the pilot light will still be turned on... and there is no sound signal to tell u that u forgot to off it....

i also realise there is no seat belt indicator for Forte....

since you mentioned you don't drive like a madman, 1.6 should be sufficient for you.. take note the word "sufficient"..

i test driven 1.6 6speed one at Naza Kia Bangsar before i got my 2.0.. the test drive route includes the housing area behind the row of Naza Kia Bangsar and other shops with lots uphill and downhill..
i could say 1.6 engine in Forte is insufficient to encounter with uphills coz u need to trash the engine little bit to higher rpm (3,300 > 4,000rpm) to get decent pick up pace.. and i could recall my ex-2004 Waja EV 4AT mitsubishi felt 30% more stronger in torque than 1.6 Forte 6AT..

why not you drop by in any Naza Kia showrooms and test drive yourself and make your own judgement ?

what i get in average on daily drive from cheras to wangsa maju via MRR2.. is 10-11liter/100km..
which returns 220km for RM50 petrol RON95.. 95% city drive 70% heavy footed stop and go traffic..

Added on June 17, 2012, 6:48 pmmy 1st service also 1500km.. no problem.. but I felt the car to be super sluggish and harsh immediate
after 1st service using Petronas fully syn oil by SC.. and slowly gets quieter, refined, smooth power until to-date mileage 4,900km 
even a 1.8 Dual VVT-i corolla altis cannot beat my forte's engine smoothness and refinement now 

Looking at your engine oil price..it should be fully synthetic oil already. No need oil treatment for me. Fully syn engine oil is good enough..

That means our windscreen cost 2k
I think must consider it
Btw, just check with the insurance company regarding my 2.0 2011 market valuation, the result is 82k, seems not bad
But I wondering if it reflects the actual market price of my forte?

wah just scratch the bottom of my front skirt when goin down the slope of a parking lot. i think a lot of forte owners with bodykit will kena at the bottom side as well... the front end too long d i guess.... damn sakit... lucky its bottom part

Intel - which SC is that?

is it the one opposite the caltex station?

cool. will try there for my next service

wah bro... first service u let them take out ur absorber already? not scared ur allignment lari?

why dont u try and let us know...

can i know the rpm should be how much when the car is stopped?
No matter i switch the gear to N or D. i feel that the car has a bit vibration when the car is stopped.
Should i get back to SC to solve this? or its just a normal?

haha... so fast u tekan 160km/h already?
mine so far 110... still very sayang the car... dare not tekan... gonna put in my K&N filter next... since already first service...
maybe after u put K&N ur car will have more top speed? i dont know...hehe

wow they have that? and for how long the distant for it to break in?

I reached 175km/h before...but didn't focus on RPM.....maybe next time i try and let u know....

I want to know, anybody here 1.6sx break 195km/h before? Is the steering vibrate strongly?

i asked SC b4 and they dont allow to bring own eng oil, spark plugs etc
if u installed those 'reusable' stuff like k&n or iridium spark plugs, just let them know so tat they wont change it n throw away ur k&n or iridium spark plug
anyway, i was told that u can ask them not to change the part and u change it after the service by urself

yay, hopefully get mine 1.6 SX white color either tomorrow or friday - cant wait...sux cant get 2.0 ...

Super gifts from dealer :

Free bodykit, leather seat,door visor, boot tray,
door pocket , leather key holder, smart tag ,full
tank petrol, tint, and logo set

bodykit ? i kena some damn scratches beneath it too.. but I didn't feel sakit hati so much
coz its not visible from front unless I put my head down and look.. the car still look awesome with BK.. no regrets lor.

for me I am using Ecotint..
most people will get Raytech for midrange spec and reasonable price..

Did u get the new audio 2.0 or the old audio?

raytech is quite expensive and I rather go for 3M, Vkool, Huper optic. anyway i tinted my little white with agard 695 with 95% IRR, just RM1200 coz got special discount. if you interested then let me know, I can let you know the way to get the discount from puchong agard.
