Very good point on the safety feature. Btw, what's the safety ratings on forte? I googled and it said no ratings because its not sold in USA. Is the side airbags on forte good? I read that some cars provide lousy side airbags, which is as good as no airbags/2 airbags. Can direct me to the relevant source on safety aspects of forte?

Right now, I'm 65% on forte, 35% on 308. Good progress!

Major maintenace means 60,000km?

Any other T&C bro? Thanks

Kia Forte is being sold in US ... and here is the safety rating:

NHTSA
http://www.safercar.gov/Vehicle+Shoppers/5...?vehicleId=7119

yeah major means the multiple of 30k.
but anyway, the promotion is off for this month.
this month stuff i heard is the free insurance and road tax.

AFAIK, there's no such thing as lousy airbags if the airbags is originally being installed by the car manufacturer. But, i've heard about this (lousy airbags) for the replacement airbags which is installed by the car workshop (or whatsoever) after the original airbags has been deployed in an accident...

Thanks for the link

Guys, can i consider the following statement ? Correct or Incorrect ?

1. Headlight got 'fog' inside after change of tempreature (no matter raining or not ) but dry up later (doesn't matter fast or slow) = NORMAL. Naza will NOT DO replacement for you.

2. Headlight got 'condensation/water' inside after change of tempreature (no matter raining or not ) but dry up later (doesn't matter fast or slow) = NOT NORMAL. Naza will investigate and mostly DO replacement for you.

Was told by then No. 1 is NORMAL (sound like design defect) but same time NAZA said they are in the mid of 'improving' the element....


....doesn't look nice la, different car have different 'fog' or 'condensation' pattern....below is one of it.

sorry to hear that bro. whats the total damage?

Last time got several Fortezens successfully claim warranty for this (a bit severe cases in which got water droplet inside the headlight, not just fog)..the SC replace it with the new headlight. Problem solved (water droplet inside the headlight), but the fog is still there after heavy rain or car wash. Fog inside the headlight is normal i believe..even for luxury cars. Someone has posted the pics here about fog inside the headlight of many luxury cars previously

Here in KIA service center, they say its normal because the car is designed on 4 seasons. Therefore it will need some time and it will automatically solved. Seems there is lot of people encounter this and its also written in the car manual.

No big problem I guess

BTW, anyone got a wild idea to repaint the whole sedan car into spicy red....I feel tempted here to do so

Tqvm for the link

Found this small breather hose at the back of the headlamp (each side got 1).

Wondering if 'sumbat-kan' the hose will it help to stop the ventilation (which caused condensation)....
