Read from blogs, the Americans will get 1.8L and 2.0L. Koreans have 1.6L and 1.8L. Naza should bring in only 1.6L so that they don't kill the 1.8L in sales volume and resale value. This is by judging from the way they do with Forte 1.6 and 2.0, they did pretty badly with the 2.0L. That's NAZA only bring in 1 engine this time. Optima only have 2.0L, Sportage only 2.0L, Sorento only 2.4L.

Test unit also don't have, only have when there are owners that have not collected their cars. I don't even want to drive as it might damage somebody's car by revving hard before run in 1000km or increased the mileage, no longer 1st hand like that. So rich but no money to buy test unit with valid license plate for us to test drive each and every model?

The new Rio launched yesterday, I doubt they even have test unit. Next week or 2 might have, if I see no license plate, that should be some new early booked owner's car that they used for test drive. If they still do so, I will not buy Kia at all. Besides, Elantra looks better in overall, at least more original and it's designed by BMW ex-designers.

still have feeling not secure with korean car eventho they throw good warranty.. how about their after sales service ya?
AFAIK, toyota is the best coz they keep in touch with u asking about ur car, any problem with it n etc.. nice after sales service.. honda is going that direction too, for mazda n nissan not sure.. so kia?

I usually go to the Toyota SC at belakong/Cheras Selatan.  They never send me any reminder also.  But i have stopped visiting them since my car is not under warranty anymore.  Never own a Kia yet, but i m quite interested to find out more about K3 ... if not then K5

ok ... good to hear that. Actually to be honest, i prefer kia or hyundai model more than toyota and honda now obviously their designs are way better and also they willing to give more features and just made me feel that worth buying. But of course not too sure about the quality la. I only can compare with Vios but the quality also not that great only IMO.  Waiting for K3 but no idea when they are launching ...

nah ... i am not a brand loyalty customer to T or neither H (never their customer before). 

IMO, now car designers tends to focus on the rear instead of the front. Probably because most of the time, ppl will be admiring ur car from your back during traffic jam? LOL!

A promising feedback from US. Hopefully Malaysian version won't have lower quality.

Yeap. Elantra 1.6 is srsly pathetic. Can hardly move. 1.8 slightly better but still no real oomph. Just for simple normal crusing. Doesnt really have the oomph in a honda ivtec engine.
The forte 1.6 has a terrible engine.

Already underpowered summore sucks fuel like water. Cant imagine how much fuel the 2.0 will drink

high CC engines for a C seg can't really get any worst for highway cruising.

its the City FC that's very disturbing. 

FYI, forte rank no.1 beating all competitors C-segment

Bro..Forte 2.0 powerful is it on highway? because i only considering 1.6 the new K3. Mine just city drive ok kah? how about pickup after roundabout and traffic light? i just need confirmation
