a friend of mine is getting his car and now have to decide which tint to go for. it's the voucher rebate thing that SA gave, RM500

he will need to top up below for:
1. air gard SF80 (i can't find much info on this one in google) - RM1.1K
2. raytech - RM1.5K

both security film and IR up to >85%

do you guys think it is a fair price to pay for?

I'm using air gard,imho best tint i had so far..car is only a bit warm during really hot days (compared to my myvi which use cheaper tint,very hot have to let car cool down for a few minutes before entering),highly recommended.

Could it be the gas pedal cable stuck..haven't experienced that yet with my forte..but my old car did & i did a quick press & release to unstuck the pedal..also  see if the pedal stuck to the carpet.

Carpet is okay,so maybe the cable stuck or something..was scared at first,suddenly losing power when overtaking other cars..now is ok already,so never went to check with SC..hopefully it will never happen again..

For me i got my EX because i don't really mind about extras such as push start button,rear view camera etc..only thing i was interested was the 17" rims,other than that i don't care much.

Especially since i'm saving for a house,7k is quite some money. All of us know that car is not really an asset,but more of a liability as its value depreciates every year,but a house increases in value annually. A good rule of thumb is to save 30% of your house price as downpayment,so i'm working towards that..especially since houses these days are over 300k,i need to save a lot,thus 7k is very important for me biggrin.gif

Furthemore,i am now single,so i don't mind EX since i travel by myself all the time..but later when i get married confirm i'm gonna change to a bigger car such as the K5..thus i don't really see the merit of getting the SX when later on i may change to another car to suit my family need.. thumbup.gif

I guess that's my reason why i got my EX..EX or SX,it is still a Forte,best car i've used (yet tongue.gif )

Hello all.

I'm 90% into buying a Forte. As I keep on reading about this car, i notice a large amount of complaints on rattling/squeaking sound from various parts in the car. Some can be solved and some remains a mystery still.

But most of these reports are from Forte owners from 2010/11. Are the issues still persist in 2012 products?

Thank you in advance.

Mine is a 2012 product. I had no squeaking/rattling sound whatsoever until now,but my car is barely 3 months old..only complain is the AC compressor is louder since 1st service..before this it used to be quiet..

The aircond compressor for our Forte should be quiet..hardly can notice it when in operational. Mostly we just heard the fan blows the air thru the condenser/radiator. If got an abnormal sound when the aircond compressor is operating, better send your car to SC & place your complaint. Got several cases on the early batch of Forte 4-speed where the aircond compressor kong prematurely.

Thanks for your feedback. Am gonna set an appointment and have the SC check the compressor..other than that my car is as good as it can be icon_rolleyes.gif

Hi Forterian,

I know this is wrong segment to post this message but just to share some new product currently available in my company especially for Kia Forte owner.

Would you interested to change your current fabric seat cover to leather? If yes, here're the Good News since we're OEM seat manufacturer for Kia and we would like to give this special offer to Forte car owner.

Here are some info on what we offer:

Package come with leather seat cover (you can choose either sporty bucket or original style) plus door trim (change the small piece fabric to leather). Can visit to our website http://www.cna.com.my or fb just search for mfg c.n.a

The cost for all this will be around RM 2,000 to RM 2,500 and further discount will be given to those who change the seat at our factory located at Gurun, Kedah.

Interested please contact Mr. Anuar h/p 013-4154609 or email anuar@cna.com.my

Question! How much discount are we talking about if one were to go directly to your factory in Gurun,Kedah? Total price?

I'm interested,however i would like to know the total cost beforehand. I live in Sg Petani so Gurun is like 15 minutes away.
