If their factory engineers had taken steps to counter this noise problem, then less headache & work for SC. I think it is the foam material they use inside the dashboard. For my case, normal time, dashboard silent but after park in the sun more than 30 mins, Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra in full swing. Sometimes so embarrased when fetch guests.

Same with pull to left issue..... if outside workshop can do it, what the hell are they doing in Gurun? Tidur ka???????????????

If they can kautim these few problems before the cars leave the factory, customers will be happy & keep Kia brand name. Now ppl hear got these type of problems also "kia" (scared in hokkien). Sorry to say, as much as I love Kia brand, I will not buy another one in the future if it is assembled by factory full of incompetent engineers!

I have my car Forte 1.6SX drive for 600km mileage already. I listen to you all and try my best to press the pedal as light as possible with my right foot. I have see my FC is 9.2 to 9.4L/100KM from meter. (70% City, 30% Highway)

Well, how much the fuel consumption will improve after 1000km / 5000km / 10000km services? Can you share with me with provide detail in xL/100KM format?

I realize if you wanna achieve below 10L/100km at instant, ur RPM shall be around 2000. I was thinking if keep on like this sooner the car don't know will become underpowered or not....

I agreed with what your said. CKD product is not solid as CBU. I think they get some assemble parts from local factory and not as good as CBU that they fully imported.

I advice all the driver drives politely for first few months to let all parts attach tightly before start vroomm.......

This is what I am doing now and it reduce rattling noise.

I second your thought bro. And we cannot compare to other brand manufacturer and say "ahhh... They also have issue. No car perfect". I think when people jump from tall building to kill her/himself, we should not jump also.

Same goes to forte. What in the hell the QC at gurun do? Didn't the naza management ever listen to what we've been complaint for long time. I things this issue had happened few years back.

If they still take for granted about our complaint, then i suggest we give some impact to their sales volume. In this tech era, badmouth can cross over the world in a single click.

Guys, according to manual book and the guideline from side door, type pressure is 220kpa.

But I feel that stock rim and tyre is quite bumpy.
I feel weird and not comfortable while driving over uneven road.

Any suggestion to improve it? What's your best tyre pressure?

Hi Folks, am not a Forte owner...yet wink.gif but hopefully I'll be one by early next year.

I've taken the time to read-up on this forum (almost 40% of the entire thread collection), and I have to say that I'm very impressed with the enthusiasm which you folks show.

Regarding my mission to own a Forte, am kinda worried (probably much like the rest of the potential buyers out there) about the following reported issues with the Forte:

1) Quality of interior finishing (i.e.-dashboard+pillar rattle/noise frm trunk/etc.)
2) Service Competence & Professionalism of the NAZA Service Centres

As such, I hope to be able to hear more opinions from the Fortezens here in relation to the above points.

I thank you all in advance for any feedbacks/inputs.

P/S - I've heard a lot about Edwin 'Motorman'. I hope to be meeting him soon smile.gif
