1. What kind of body kit material do you guys prefer? Some SAs are giving pp b/kit but I found that pu b/kit looks nicer with its forte logo badge and the color is also matching with the original body paint (i mean white).
2. Do we need to soft start the car to get the airbag working if any accident happens? Like turn to ACC mode and wait the air bag logo disappear before start the engine?
3. I found that the storage compartment in front of the gear knob is quite hot. is that normal due to the GB?

QUOTE(Proclaimer @ Jun 11 2012, 10:55 AM) Its normal for forte but abnormal for a car. The reason for the heat should be the lack of insulation around the chasis where the exhaust system is. One solution is to add insulating material to deflect the heat. Im thinking of doing that as the heat would not be good for the interior of the car in the long run. how much that will cost for such insulation? adding insulator from interior or spraying those 3M coating to block noise/heat fro exterior? anyone use change their air filter to those KNN, redline or other brand? any cons for doing so coz i did change it for my myvi and the throttle body get dirty more easily and need cleaning more often. hence I am still in 50-50 mode whether change it or not. |

QUOTE(redrum77 @ Jun 12 2012, 05:55 PM) autoFold only when lock via remote may check with EtoniNot sure will work for 6 speeder though . The guy did say as long as have motor than boleh. not a bad feature as I'm still not used to autofold it until I get out from the car. BTW does the default autofold need the car in ACC or start mode?

QUOTE(kcsaw @ Jun 13 2012, 01:09 PM) Total charge RM 220 include 1) Engine oil Hyundai Oilbank 5-40 Full Sync 2) Oil Filter 3) Drain plug washer not sure is there any item. Plus complementary car wash  i thought Naza Kia only use Petronas or Shell engine oil? Anyone know where can get the engine drop in filter, how much? I only see those reusable drop in filter in the garage sales forum but not the paper type one. Plan to bring these engine drop in filter and air cond filter go to service next time in case they ask me to change; it is much cheaper than buying from SC right

QUOTE(dvinez @ Jun 13 2012, 02:13 PM) can change, read before at forte club fb, but will void warranty yes, better stick with speednavi; no annual fee somemore unless updating the map. After a while then you should familiar with speednavi although it is quite different than Papago. Btw I found that speednavi got better map support as when i back to my kampung, speednavi is able to detect the road but not for papago that is installed in my iphone. |

QUOTE(crestfallen @ Jun 13 2012, 08:37 PM) my bro in law gave the sdcard to me as he changed his exora's HU. anyway, early this month i traveled to Kuala Berang, terengganu from Johor bahru & wanted to see how much the car consume petrol with me driving light footed. Johor Bahru --> Kuantan ================ driving around 90km/h, with occasion overtaking with 110-120km/h. driving along the coast (5% highway) from jb -> bukit tinggi -> mersing -> pekan -> kuantan. Distance : 313km FC shown : 6.8l/100km    Johor Bahru --> Kuantan --> Kuala Berang slept for 1 hour inside car in kuantan with 30 minutes of engine running. then continue the journey using the new highway (25% highway) . this time travelling 110 on normal road and 140-160 on highway. lazy to post now the pics.. Distance : 521km Distance to Empty : 110 (shown on screen) FC shown : 7.0l/100km still cant beat kcsaw FC ... ned to learn from him how he drive the car i heard my SA said there is a SA pandai pandai helped one of the customers changed to papago then whole unit get damaged and not able to claim for warranty. so you have to judge whether worth or not but i dont think papago will cause any problem too |

QUOTE(CKH2012 @ Jun 14 2012, 10:46 AM) Both cars, value for money, nice photo.......I dun notice that Preve is much bigger than Forte until park side by side. agree, elantra and preve looks smaller from outside but in fact they are quite big and spacious going to do my 1K service soon next week looking forward for better FC and hope will not encounter those issues that were reported by few members previously after 1K service; like loss of power, steering become heavier and etc so far still enjoying driving it. BTW just notice the headlight will be turned off automatically after the engine is turned off so no more worrying about forget to turn off the headlight anymore This post has been edited by Intel@Atom: Jun 14 2012, 10:59 AM |

QUOTE(jeschong @ Jun 14 2012, 02:02 PM) how loud is the wind noise? mine 1 is quite stable still 130km/h coz always press the pedal without unconsciously. anyway I didn't install the window visor as i heard it could increase the wind noise. maybe I'm lucky as I don't have high speed jerking or pull left issues but I will still request for alignment in 1K service since it is free This post has been edited by Intel@Atom: Jun 14 2012, 02:58 PM |

QUOTE(dvinez @ Jun 14 2012, 03:09 PM) mine have visor too, but wind sound only noticeable at 150 above cruising at 100-120 not much feel, feel like 60-80 in persona. maybe your previous car got good sound proof yes, agree. non noticeable until 150km/h. I did try 150km/h once but the RPM went up quite high, I think is about 5k RPM hence quickly released the pedal as still in engine break in duration; less than 1000 KM saja.. lolx..

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
