From the booklet it stated RM1500 for Agard SN50. I did for 1k for all windows. got it few days so not sure if it's good or bad.no issue with smart tag so far,will check out my own gps and the one bundle with new HU.

driving experience is good as it doesn't looks so dark when you looking out from ur car.heat wise so far still ok,need more sunlight to test it out.

Hi, bro epo pls add me into the list. 2.0sx clear white.

Super happy, just got my car this afternoon. It actually all starts with me liking Forte and checking out websites to find for offers. It was early January if I've not mistaken. Jotted down 7-8 SA's contact number and called each and every one of them, and one of them was Edwin Loh (Motorman). His offer was like the second best. (Yes, I know, kind of the same story again). But after asking the SA which offers me the best deal some questions, I feel like she is very not professional. She actually give alot of excuses for all things. Example, she said she wasn't giving TV because there are alot of problems with the TV, blablablabla. (they had promotion for giving out TV back then) And when I ask why not giving door handle tray, she actually say not good quality, will drop out and some other stupid stuff (I hate people bullsh*tting, how can that even drop out, it has got double sided tape and it fits into the hole). So at the end, I decided to go for Edwin's deal, which isn't too bad compared to that SA. I called Edwin and asked question and he answers them nicely and professionally. I told him I wouldn't be getting that car yet because I haven't got my driving license yet. He said it's okay and I can get back to him whenever I'm ready to book my car. Gave me the address and everything and said I should give him a call if I want to visit.

So few months passed, I got my license in Feb, but my dad said that it was too early to get me a new car. It was until May or so, I contacted Edwin again. He actually remembered me. He still talked nicely and didn't feel annoyed or whatever. Went over to Edwin's showroom in Seri Kembangan, asked about some stuffs and made the booking on the same day. My case was also a little special, because my dad is actually paying for a Myvi, and I'm working to pay for the difference for the Forte. He was nice enough to help me calculate the monthly installment for Myvi and Forte for me as well. So I know how much I need to pay every month. Such a nice guy. Then, I had to wait until mid July for my 18th birthday so that I can sign my HP agreement. After all those, went there and sign papers, after about 1 week, he informed that car is ready for collection on a Thursday, dad say to collect on Saturday. And he knew I was super eager about my car, he actually told me to get on a train to somewhere near Seri Kembangan and he will fetch me from there. I didn't want to trouble him so I passed. Oh yes. He actually cleared up a RM100 for me as well, because my number plate which I bought had already expired due to having to wait for my birthday.

So I collected my car today. Went to Raytech to do tinting which is near my area, and had been issued a voucher by Edwin. Asked for more discount and the guy called Edwin up and see whether he is willing or not. (Because you and I know better that all these SA gets commission from all this tinting vouchers, even after all those discounts, they still earn alot, so giving commission will be okay. So if you have any friends which does tinting, you don't need all these vouchers and yet you can get cheaper price.) And again he was so nice to say okay. His commission is reduced to give us discount. Not much, but still, better than nothing.

So overall, from day one which I called up to today, I'm very satisfied with Edwin being my SA. I would proudly and loudly say that he is the best SA which I've ever spoken to or meet. He made my first car purchasing experience such an interesting one. So anyone who is going to get a Forte for raya or whatsoever, go and get it from him. I can assure you that he will be giving best deal and best service. rclxms.gif

And if you must know who is that shitty SA, pls PM me so you can avoid her. And I've been a silent reader since V10 or 11. Those who think that this is an account made just to help Edwin, it's okay. You have the choice of not believing me. smile.gif but it's your loss smile.gif

Just got my Forte today from Edwin Loh (Motorman) and appreciate his professional and deliverable. Given higher credit to him on his professional and patient answered all the questions in term of best offer, technical questions and advices, test drive, loan application, car plate number etc etc in the past few months while doing my survey and research on the C segment car. He is willing to help even I have yet to confirm to get Forte

Besides, he also delivered what he had promised and I got my car within 2 weeks from the day I made booking. He helped out on the loan application, insurance NCD transfer and recovery, tinting, GPS activation, detail explanation when deliver the car to me, checking engine and chassis etc etc. Thumbs up to Edwin Loh on his service biggrin.gif

Agreed on what 'nemurus' said, 2nd best deal which don't see much different from the best deal, but given the best service on the buying process. Will give comment once I start dealing with car service from his SC

Btw Edwin, you are right, tkfai is my id. I mentioned the wrong one this afternoon.

I trusted you Eugene. I don't think ppl are so free to register dummy account here and keep commenting and replying other people post just to have good comments on themselves. At least I'm not !!! I'm the real customer !!!!

Damn love my new toy now... so good looking and driving experience is good... just got pull left issue so far

QUOTE(nemurus @ Aug 4 2012, 12:33 AM)
I compared with a few dealers, at the time of my booking Motorman (Edwin Loh) gave me the 2nd most attractive deal. But I am more comfortable dealing with him as he seems to be much much more professional than many others.

In my line of work "best price" doesn't always translate to "better deals", I chose to work with Edwin due to his professionalism, plus he is not a freelance (which is most important). Trust me on this I already had a booking on another place for about 2 months (with loan docs already submitted), got so pissed at the SA's attitude that I just cancelled my booking with them and went to Edwin.

Sometimes it don't make sense to save on a few bucks when it comes with an avalanche of headaches.

Plus, my case is quite "special"... loan documents not so nice + I am overseas 90% of the time + I'm sometimes in JB & want to have a JB number plate... So you can imagine the number of questions I have. Edwin answered all of them (very quickly) and assured me that everything will be just fine. And yes he did just that.

So since he is a man of his words, I just let him match another guy's offer (the one that gave me a better deal) and I get the best of both worlds - Best deal & #1 service!

Anyway this is based on my experience and I am sure different people have different experiences, anyway do your research but if you have a choice between Edwin & XXXX, I highly recommend that you choose Edwin.

BUT.. this is on a "so far so good" basis, my loan is still giving me problems (but Edwin has done a great job in taking care of it)... so far seems that it has been approved and waiting for documentations.

I can't say what goes next, but other people seem to have good experience with him as well.

Good luck with your purchase


Added on August 3, 2012, 11:48 pmOh, I forgot to add.. to be fair to Edwin his deal vs. the "better deal" given by another SA is not very much.. So it's easy for Edwin to match the other guy's deal.

Ya.. Me too..
I thought it really pull to the left..
I wonder is it because the Korean drive on the left side that makes them confuse to do better alignment when they change to the right hand drive car..
Hmmm  hmm.gif  innocent.gif  whistling.gif

Apparently, the guy who changed my tires to new Michelin PS3 told me that
my front passenger side chamber to adjust -1.13°. Doing so will suggest
better straight line steering feel and also eliminates Forte's infamous pull left steering feel
which I'm having also.

I do not want my tires to makan sebelah at the inside after prolonged use, so I rejected his so-called preferred setting and to go for default which has all round optimal wear and performance on each tyre.

There are 4 minor issues I need to live with my 6 months old Forte.
1) Lalat noise sound on front driver and passenger adjustable seatbelt at B-pillars while driving on
speedbreaker strips / road imperfection surfaces.
2) Zzzzzz and slight wind whistles from the front dash and windscreen somewhere above 105kmph.
3) Not 100% reliable reverse camera and LCD screen built-in rear view mirror.
4) Noticeable squeaking sound when leaning against the driver's seat backrest. It squeaks like 50 yrs old car when first day I brought the car home.
(SC and also myself unzipped the half leather seat upholstery and sprayed lots of WD40 inside behind, noise eliminated about 80%.. still there are upper parts I cannot reach with WD40. Defective or rusty Active Headrest mechanism I think..)

All in all.. Forte is a comfortable and fun car to drive, but doesn't feel good to live with all 4 mentioned above.

So few months passed, I got my license in Feb, but my dad said that it was too early to get me a new car. It was until May or so, I contacted Edwin again. He actually remembered me. He still talked nicely and didn't feel annoyed or whatever. Went over to Edwin's showroom in Seri Kembangan, asked about some stuffs and made the booking on the same day. My case was also a little special, because my dad is actually paying for a Myvi, and I'm working to pay for the difference for the Forte. He was nice enough to help me calculate the monthly installment for Myvi and Forte for me as well. So I know how much I need to pay every month. Such a nice guy. Then, I had to wait until mid July for my 18th birthday so that I can sign my HP agreement. After all those, went there and sign papers, after about 1 week, he informed that car is ready for collection on a Thursday, dad say to collect on Saturday. And he knew I was super eager about my car, he actually told me to get on a train to somewhere near Seri Kembangan and he will fetch me from there. I didn't want to trouble him so I passed. Oh yes. He actually cleared up a RM100 for me as well, because my number plate which I bought had already expired due to having to wait for my birthday.

So I collected my car today. Went to Raytech to do tinting which is near my area, and had been issued a voucher by Edwin. Asked for more discount and the guy called Edwin up and see whether he is willing or not. (Because you and I know better that all these SA gets commission from all this tinting vouchers, even after all those discounts, they still earn alot, so giving commission will be okay. So if you have any friends which does tinting, you don't need all these vouchers and yet you can get cheaper price.) And again he was so nice to say okay. His commission is reduced to give us discount. Not much, but still, better than nothing.

So overall, from day one which I called up to today, I'm very satisfied with Edwin being my SA. I would proudly and loudly say that he is the best SA which I've ever spoken to or meet. He made my first car purchasing experience such an interesting one. So anyone who is going to get a Forte for raya or whatsoever, go and get it from him. I can assure you that he will be giving best deal and best service.  rclxms.gif

And if you must know who is that shitty SA, pls PM me so you can avoid her. And I've been a silent reader since V10 or 11. Those who think that this is an account made just to help Edwin, it's okay. You have the choice of not believing me.  smile.gif but it's your loss smile.gif

Been enjoying my ride so far smile.gif

RANDOM OFF TOPIC FACT : my number opened up today in consolation and my dad bought it. He is a happy man now smile.gif

My rear camera stopped working. Looks like a visit to SC. And is that the pull left issue? I thought it really pulls to the left. That means I have it, and I missed out on the 1st service offer. Sigh.

My rear back-up camera problem solved during 1st service in SC on March. What they did was just unplug the socket and reconnect. It stays functional perfectly until recently for once I select reverse gear, the green LED blinking problem is back and no image appear on the screen.

But when I opened and closed the rear door, the back-up camera image comes back alive. So far no problem since then.

It seems that my car's Reverse Camera system is not so reliable. How can I describe this to SC and ensure they can fix it to 100% defect-free ? Any sifus here care to comment ? TQ !!

Apparently, the guy who changed my tires to new Michelin PS3 told me that
my front passenger side chamber to adjust -1.13°. Doing so will suggest
better straight line steering feel and also eliminates Forte's infamous pull left steering feel
which I'm having also.

I do not want my tires to makan sebelah at the inside after prolonged use, so I rejected his so-called preferred setting and to go for default which has all round optimal wear and performance on each tyre.

There are 4 minor issues I need to live with my 6 months old Forte.
1) Lalat noise sound on front driver and passenger adjustable seatbelt at B-pillars while driving on
speedbreaker strips / road imperfection surfaces.
2) Zzzzzz and slight wind whistles from the front dash and windscreen somewhere above 105kmph.
3) Not 100% reliable reverse camera and LCD screen built-in rear view mirror.
4) Noticeable squeaking sound when leaning against the driver's seat backrest. It squeaks like 50 yrs old car when first day I brought the car home.
(SC and also myself unzipped the half leather seat upholstery and sprayed lots of WD40 inside behind, noise eliminated about 80%.. still there are upper parts I cannot reach with WD40. Defective or rusty Active Headrest mechanism I think..)

All in all.. Forte is a comfortable and fun car to drive, but doesn't feel good to live with all 4 mentioned above.

My 3 weeks old Forte has the pull left issue, no.1 and no. 2.

Pull left issue - already did realignment.. not much difference.. perhaps need to replace chamber nut? hmm.gif
No. 1 and no. 2 - trying to live with them.. afraid SC will make them worse after complaining..

Overall.. still a good investment.. biggrin.gif

Fellow Fortezens..

Planning to get ARB or 2point Rear Strut Bar for my Forte.. may I know which one will give better handling? Already installed a Front Strut Bar.. thanks..
