i brought my car there to do alignment but i was told the PIC was fired, didnt know who, and "machine rosak"... wasted my time... so now my car ODO is 700km, tire also eaten a bit d, still havent find a reliable source that can fix that problem... this really make me disappointed with NAZA KIA
*
I fix it when 1k service. I done in SC (Penang Autocity), 1 time fix only. I think they have experience D. almost every Forte also got this issue.

Hey! Just test drove this car today with my mum. pretty decent car for that price. My mum wants to get the ex but i want the SX (mainly for the additional stability and paddle shifters! biggrin.gif )

Any points u guys think i could pitch in to my mum?
P/s shes the kind of person who does not care about the car, just getting from point A to B, and at 60km/h max... sweat.gif

thanks!

Oh btw, good job to the TS. Wanted to ask some questions here, but after reading the first page...all my questions were answered. HAHA!

yup...coz I wanted diamond silver. They tried to push me to take white after abt 1.5 months waiting. Didn't want white coz feel hard to maintain and too many on the road. Then 2 months they tried to push me to get titanium silver. Also dont want. So end up wait 3 months lah. Have been complaining to Naza as well thru customer service as well as their facebook page.

Go find other brand. I got my diamond silver very fast. I got it from Autocity, Juru.

You got the 2.0SX diamond silver with the new HU? How long u wait? From what I understand, no stock for 2.0 Diamond silver. And I think Naza not really producing becuase low demand compare to White or Titanium Silver.

Other brands cannot get 2.0 below 100K leh... almost want to give up already and buy preve....
*
Sorry, I got 1.6SX with new HU May, 2012 not 2.0. May be 2.0 no demand like u said. me too, don like white, hard to maintain. also very common on the road. Silver look different.

I means try different branch. not different brand. I swear to myself, no more proton for 2nd car. So, Preve totally out of list. I just wait for Elantra, but end up price so high, then finally choose Forte that I planned since 2011.

my 1 month plus Forte starts having the rattling sound from the dashboard and driver’s side door (didn’t expect the problem to be this soon). i’ve read somewhere that Kinrara SC can fix this problem (anyone concur with this?) cannot tahan with the sound anymore.

secondly, i'm planning to change my DVD HU to another brand (don’t really like the stock UI and the reception is quite bad). i understand that this will only void my HU warranty right?

I put card sun glass in the sun glass compartment, and some loose part in dashboard compartment, some time is sound kit kit koh koh, when I take sharp corner. So, check whether u got some loose part in compartment?

Haha,

Never give up = go for Forte
Give up = go for Preve

My friend was in same situation. He "gave up" and now really regret like hell. Don't want to comment much on Preve but you can check around to see the feedback from owners.

hehe, like I said, no more Proton car if afford to buy others. Produa much more better.

1. average about 9.0-9.5 (not so jam)/100km, if jam can go up to 10l/100km, nvr tried above 10.5 before.
2. 1.6sx
3. 2 mnths
4. none.

Btw im not an aggresive driver as  i usually keep  my rpm in check, below 2.5-3k. if FC is truly ur concern, look no further than a vios then or smaller cars.
*
I stay in Penang mainland and work in island. everyday travel sometime with jam. my 1.6sx 6speed average is 8.0-9.0L/100km.

Thanks for letting me know. I am same as you. Need to travel to Island everyday. Earlier I try to get Hybrid Car.

For Insight, the price is a bit expensive, maintenance expensive, but not really save much fuel 5l/100km - 98k
For Prius C, the battery is too risky, cost 11-12k and 3 yrs warranty only - 97k.

That's what I am thinking to get Forte and seek for your advice.

I am thinking if really fuel consumption, perhaps change the tyre to light weight 16'' will help or not. Or maybe just get EX version. Also 52 liters tank is really heavy to carry. Perhaps, should not pump full but maybe 30liters will be good.
*
16" wheel, I never try. I think impact more is change to lighter wheel, but make sure it strong. I think pump 1/2 tank is wasting time and fuel to stop at petrol station.

Forte is only travel in BM with many traffice light and jam, sure over 10L/100km. It depand on the how hard u press to pick-upa nd how bad the traffic.

My thought is "I want to drive bigger&stable car sure pay more petrol. My neighbor + my college's civic is worse.
