What to do, too many peoples buy Forte nowadays. I visited to KIA sales office and they told me 'dashyat! banyak orang beli Forte.'

I travel to my company using Forte, it showed 70km mileage at the end.

When I used myVI, it showed 85km.

Funny!!! Which one I should believe.

Good Idea. Just use google map and found is about 72km distance

Myvi having problem . So if this is not correct, then my FC calculation using www.fuelly.com on myvi is not correct too.

Mine is 8km. I questioned the SA and he told me the KIA factory did the drive test before deliver. I dont believe that.
I know some of them will send for car wash or wax.

But if you asked for free bodykit, coating, tinted, or any modification, then this should be normal as they have to take your car to accessories shop.

Added on September 11, 2012, 10:36 pmI talked to one of the SA from KIA sales office. He told me KIA confirmed 2014 to deliver K3 in Malaysia. He also told me KIA Rio will come in next 1 or 2 months.

Believe it or not

The screw bolt lah .... you can see the rim only get 4 screws bolt .. That will not fit to Forte.

Good to hear that. Try to drive on highway and check the left pull.

Try not to drive on bumping roads or you will have rattling problem.

I am sure everyone has these 2 problems.


WHO NEVER ENCOUNTERED BOTH PROBLEMS ??? Tell me

What is the weight of this rims? Thinking to change for mine to lighter one so I can accelerate faster and fuel saving.

I dont really like K3 because I know the price will be RM10-15k more than forte.

Why expensive? because the spare part bulk import is less than Toyota and Honda. Peoples still get poisoned with buying cheap car but pay more money.

And today if you look on the road, you can see KIA and Hyundai car everywhere... And give them another 2-3 years you will see the spare part price will be dropped significantly. Forte is still new (since 2010) to us and very solid and no need spare part to be replaced.

Another few years, when most of the Forte need spare part replacement, than with bulk orders you will see the price will be drop.

I am happy to see Forte everywhere nowadays.

Please dont follow their narrow mind opinions.

Added on September 13, 2012, 1:09 pmThis is just sweet dream. BN menang, they even more free to do what they want. Opposition menang, no way to reduce price. For sure, banker will bankrupt first then only Car traders. Malaysia economy is fully rely on car sales. imagine you pay 100% tax more for a car. Whole Malaysia will corrupt with price drop.

They may reduce car price with lower spec. That may happens.

Same to me.. I drive everyday to terrible area with bumping road everyday and I also thinking to fix the rattling sound too.. But I have same worry. It may cause the rattling sound even worst if we get the wrong person to fix it.

I observe everyday I know my HU having rattling sound and also the meter.

The sound only appear when hit the bump or uneven road. So have to tahan.... Wait and wait .. maybe after a while the sound will dissapear by itself.

The rattling sound from my clock gone after a while ...

Try to detect it and tekan tekan .. sometimes it works! Now the rattling on meter and clock lesser.

But HU one not so easy because a bit longgar ....

But all this only sounds when my car run on bumping road.. normal drive wont hear anything.


Please avoid bumping roads.

I donno how to protect your external part. Perhaps, you can buy car cover to cover whole car. If you use product, some will make the rubber even more harder and easier get crack.

Sorry to hear that. I can understand your feeling when my 1 month Forte scratched by truck and later I accidentally get it scratched by myself.

I think they will not paint part of your hood only but they will advice paint the whole hood. Maybe you can consider send to coating shop and apply coating since your is white color car.

Added on September 16, 2012, 8:04 amYeah lah.. Dont simply ask them to fix dashboard rattling sound. Unless it is really terrible and you cannot take it. Sometimes, it make the problem even worst.

Sorry to hear that... How it happened? You follow the lorry too close. is it?

I can tell you some of the lorry or truck drivers are stupid bugger! I faced the problem like you. The truck driver turned to my lane simply just to avoid emergency brake on the penang bridge. That almost killing me. The wheel of the truck hit m right side mirror and scratched it. And then shout to me explained not his fault, hit & run. This happened during non-peak hour.

So my advice to the car drivers when you drive on the highway especially there are a lot of lorry and truck running, please maintain certain speed and keep in the middle lane. If you see stupid big truck or lorry, let them over take you or you over take them. Dont get close to them.

Wow!!! Very good offer. Where he buy the car? Which state?

There are 2 different type of 1.6SX with and without HU? He sure got the latest one?

I see. KL offer is the best already. Unfortunately too far for other state.

I have 2500 mileage already. it will be slightly better only. Forte is Fuel sucker. The only thing I dont like is the FC. Many peoples did a lot of thing including change the RIMS, add K&N filter to improve the FC.

The SA told me you only will see the significant improvement after 5K mileage.

I am from Penang too, mine currently hit about 9.5-10Litre / 100KM. Drive with very light foot already... Like ah pondan...

What is your average speed from your meter?

Mine is 27 or 28 km per hour.

Take it easy .. This is assembled in Malaysia .. quality not so good. I have sound from HU unit too after get the car few days.. I have to bare with it. Once you get SC to open your dashboard, it may cause the problem more even worst.

Dashboard ratthing ok lah .. if happen to engine .. then jialat.

Added on September 20, 2012, 10:19 amHi izputra, you again

Of course I compare this car with Altis / Civic level .. you will know this car is fuel sucker.. And you can read reviews and compare. There are many.

I got my friend using TOYOTA CAMRY and the fuel comsumption is same as mine compared in fuelly.com.

So you know this car fuel comsumption is more higher than other.
