Yes, mine still auto switch to outside air when i turn off AC.
Try pressing it manually first and see if it does automatically the next time you turn off AC and car.

lol its based on individual preferences that maybe my tolerance is higher? but u can go ask for test drive and feel it?

I know, i will test drive before i buy la, just that some dealers seem to only have the 1.6 versions for test drive.
My only comparison at the moment is a 10 years old proton wira.
As long as a kia Forte 2.0 with 17 inch rims is more comfortable than my old car, then can la...haha

If you are comparing with a 10 year old Wira, then I think the chance of Forte being more comfortable should be fairly high.... isn't it?

Dear guys,

I'm in a dilemma whether to buy forte 2.0sx or the new hyundai elantra 1.8..I really need ur opinion asap.

Appreciate ur opinions :-)

I would think so la...but then, you'll never know..haha

Added on June 21, 2012, 5:43 pmI don't own either (active on forum now because i'm looking at the 2.0 Forte), so may not be the best opinion - but my preference mostly based on price and safety:

Forte 2.0: 97K, 6 Airbags
Elantra 1.8: 115K (?), 2 Airbags

I'm going for the Forte. Looks wise, the Elantra looks nicer than the 2.0 but the Forte Koup looks best...if you had money for the elantra why dont you buy the Forte Koup? Best of both worlds

Forte 2.0 worth the value dude

yeah
this is what i looking for Planning to change it maybe next month
i want 16" michelin XM2!!!! lol.. any lobang?

Again, I was like you. I waited for a whole damn year for Elantra. And got most disappointed.
Price, spec, features,..... all stripped down version of the actual Elantra.

Eventhough the car is on sale now, just look at the number of Elantras on the road. So little.
And trust me, the look will fade away after 6 months. People will still turn heads when a white body kit Forte passes by. I know for sure because i am driving one and i have no regrets.

Peter Schreyer is the man!!

yes forte 2.0 is very worth to get it, previously I was also looking forte 2.0 but got the 1.6sx instead as I am very resistance to take the leather seat.

Added on June 21, 2012, 6:28 pmi like elantra too but when i sit at rear seat, i feel quite pressure due to the low ceiling and I really dont like their rear panel of the front seats; so plastic like taxi.

Added on June 21, 2012, 6:32 pmhi guys,
i am quite confuse as after i set it to auto + choose the inside air circulation (auto wording will be disappear), but the air cond is still run automatically where the fan will blow harder is the internal temperature is much higher.

is this still considered fully automatic or what does the auto meaning here?

---

Added on June 21, 2012, 6:33 pmi only set it once to inside circulation and every time when I turn on the aircond, it will stick with the inside circulation.

---

Added on June 21, 2012, 6:35 pmyeah, I want to know as well. How much for the trade in and how much to get the 16" rim + the 16" tyres. previously I did think to downgrade it automatically when I got the 1.6sx but after driving for some time, i changed my mind as 17" is not that bad as what I had imagined before; FC & comfortable are still acceptable except the tyre is a bit noisy

---

Added on June 21, 2012, 6:39 pmdont worry so much, get the car and test for a week. if not comfortable then baru downgrade it to 16" la..
last time i read so many topic about forte and so many things to worry like FC, comfortable, engine knocking noise, rattling noise, windscreen cracking and etc. made me so dilemma but after i got the car, I just love it. worrying is normal but don't worry too much

Thank u for the reply guys ;-)
The reason why looking fwd for forte 2.0 rather than koup is bcos I've just had a baby girl and me and husband are looking for an affordable long distance car to go back to kelantan for raya this year ;-) hope it'll b comfortable for the 3 of us..

yea me too.

How to overcome this problem?

I am still waiting for my 2.0L

coming to 4 weeks already..

manually press the recirculate button

bro izputra,

whats the price range for 16 inch rims to compare the stock ones we used.any big difference?some say 16' is much expensive.i also pening kepala.wanted to down grade to 16' once the standard rim tyre already worn our if can but need to survey the light but heavy duty ones.any recommendation?

Ah, that's good. Thought it's faulty or something. Seems like the car is pretty good. Cant wait to get it.

no, that is how it work, alternatively, just switch off engine without turning off fan

me to...4th weeks...

i asked same question before, and since the fan control still auto adjust according to cabin temp, we can consider this is automatic aircon.
maybe there are reason kia refuse to recognize internal circulation as automatic aircon we dont know about.
