hi fortezens..

going to get my 1.6sx very soon.. this coming Wed most probably.. one question to ask...

Will the ipod/iphone cable be provided with the car? or we need to get it from somewhere else?

i saw one on ebay and it's quite cheap.. going to buy it if it is not provided with the car...

thanks..

You still have a spare tyre ... replace it with the spare tyre..
You can keep the bent rim as spare..

QUOTE(bem69 @ Jul 12 2012, 01:26 AM)
Can you describe this pull left issue? Like, when does it come up? When at slow speeds or high speeds? Also, does your car has some noise around 120-130km/h?
*
In my case (as I'm sure like most cases for Forte's pull left issue), it is sort of like misalignment. Happens every time I let go of the steering wheel at any speed. the car will veer to the left. Not abruptly but easily noticeable. Other fortezens have solved this issue by doing the alignment. If that doesn't really solve the pull left issue than the chamber nut needs to be replaced. Hopefully mine won't have to go that far.

As for your 2nd question, I only collected my car yesterday.. dare not go beyond 100km/h before my 1st 1k service so no noise issue as yet. By noise, do u mean wind noise? Some fortezens do have issue with this. the windscreen is not properly sealed. One fortezen has solved her issue by applying some special glue to the affected area.

Small issue only..
just tell the SC to fix it when u send for 1K service..
FOC anyway .. ( before millage reach 2K )
*
Thanks for the info. will do just that but i was told need to complain within three days not before mileage reach 2K. the SA must have her facts wrong then. by the way, did u have issue with the pull left? only realignment done or was the chamber nut replaced? thanks again.

Bro, since your usage is so low, maybe half an hour drive per day then I suggest you take 1.6. You can then use the 12K you saved from not buying the 2.0 to buy:

1. iPad or Samsung Tab (RM 1,800)
2. iPhone or Galaxy S3  (RM 2,000)
3. 40" LED TV (RM 3,500)
4. Leather seats for your 1.6 (RM 2,500)
5. Whatever you want with the balance (RM 2,200)

You don't live in your car so use the money to enjoy other things when you are not in the car!  biggrin.gif

Hi fortezens,

Wanna ask. I know some fortes have this buzzing sound near the driver's seat (somewhere around the door and the seat belt adjuster) issue. Just got my forte 2 days ago n already i can hear the annoying sound.

Did any of u manage to make the sound disappear? Hate bringing it to SC. Afraid that they might make matters worse. Rather diy. Thanks.

those who are planning to buy a Forte... sld consider the prices of spare parts... its not cheap!!!

no wonder ppl avoid Korean cars like a plague

With the 5year unlimited warranty one not need to worry too much about repairs/spareparts... Opted for a 7 year repayment (only plan to keep it that long) so another 2 extra years without warranty.. Hopefully luck is on my side.. biggrin.gif

Can u comment the warranty? AFAIK the warranty (at least for the wheels/tires) will be void. Did u have a discussion with SC prior changing the rims? interested in downgrading also.. thanks..

Anybody here know what is the selling price for 1.6sx at Langkawi? TQ.
*
that would be 65k... with a rebate of 3k on the downpayment.. if u opted for the BK, u'll get 1.5k rebate instead. so instead of paying 6.5k for the d/payment, u only need to pay only 3.5k. want BK? need to pay only 4k.

Contact/pm me if u want to go to the showroom so that we can share the 'incentive' given by SA. it's a win-win.

Questions regarding the touch HU.

Senario
1. Connect iphone via cable and listen to songs. No problem.
2. Connect iphone via bluetooth to make and receive calls. No problem.
3. Connect iphone simultaneously via cable and bluetooth. PROBLEM! Can't listen to songs but can make and receive calls.

Any fortezens experience no.3?
