I booked my Forte already. The sales can give 2-3k discount. I think this is worth to get. I cannot get the same spec from Vios and City.

City price increased from 86k to 90k. Not worth. Vios price very competitive. But you will know the car is totally empty feature compare with Forte.

I agreed Forte has less resale value and maybe spare part more expensive. The car just 2 yrs ++ in Malaysia. No one send for major spare part replacement. Not fair to say the spare part is expensive. Resale value is not high doesnt mean low quality. It could be demand low. We have to give time to Korean's Car. The reason City/Vios resale value high doesnt mean has good quality than Kia or Hyundai. Just the matter of time.

I trust Korean brand. You can see how sucessful they do well in Samsung LCD / LED TV.

In US and europe, you can find many Elantra and Forte. But you will not find City or Vios over there. This is good enough to judge which car you should buy.

If you just want to buy car for resale particularly in Malaysia only, then you should get Vios and City. But I would say this is follow trend only. Doesnt mean getting good, worth car if you think on resale value always. Anytime Korean Car can overtake Japanese car like Samsung beat Panasonic or Sony.

Hi Keanutan, you just bring up all the bad points from one side only. I am not going to argue with you and criticise how bad the vios and city. Indeed, Toyota and Honda are top car manufacturer in the world.

My points in previous post is to explain how Korean do well in their product and gain the customers sales. Not trying to bias. I just share my thoughts.

when a company earns a lot of money. It is not related to the cheapest price they can offer. But the quality of the production and whether worth to buy or not.

If you think cheap price can work, Malaysia's PENSONIC becomes world number 1. As well as Proton.

Something we need to check with Toyota why they only give 3 yrs warranty to their hybrid car in Malaysia but 5-8 yrs given to other countries. I believe Toyota has some concern about their battery lifetime in Malaysia.
