seems like more and more owners got their cars from AZ MASTER! honestly, i've been seeing a lot of fortes with AZ MASTER's plate frame on the road. and they are in fact new, based on the registration number. i gotten my car from them 2 months ago... loving every moment of it

Ya correct correct , better all buyer go for AZ master , so he can sell more and get more discount from naza and pass the saving to end user . Perhaps later Kia motor from korean will look for AZ master for joint venture , and kick out naza . Haha .. Dreaming

Thanks a lot. I think you guys mentioned 'Naza Auto Solutions (Asia) Sdn Bhd'. I know where it is. Will try to look for them. Thanks

Hi David. I can tell you Kia Forte is a great buy - value for money, nice design and full of specs. You can't get from any other cars. Only prob is resale value tho. Don't know about parts and service yet. I'm still a proud owner of 2.0 SX for 2 weeks only! Enjoying every aspect of it

Guys, if they give u problem please call Naza Customer Service 03-26177666.

You guys dashboard and door dun make sound? I hope it could be rectified at my first service, otherwise when my brother balik will ask why my car like his orchestra band LOL!

yes
having steering vibration since receive the car.
sc tried alignment and balancing for few time (wasting few of my precious weekend...)
in the end say need to high speed balancing, and this is not under warranty (previous attempt all free)
damage: RM50 for front wheel only.
result: steering vibration reduced a lot, but some time still can be felt, maybe another 2 leftover wheel (rear) need to do high speed balancing also to totally fix this issue.

lazy to go sc again liao ...

my dashboard got rattling sound too. try to cover up by increasing the radio volume, but sometimes the touch HU has reception problem, so still can hear the rattling sound. quite annoying sometimes.

ic. me too, above 130km/h sometimes feel steering vibrate. my fren ask me to do high speed balancing which i never heard about it b4
he said, usually when changing tyre/rim, they will only use normal balancing which is around 80km/h or less..

I come back with FC (Fuel Consumption) question again. Sorry

1. I heard Simota Drop In Air Filter will help on FC. Anyone has test it and proved this working good? Where I can buy from Penang? Will it void the warranty?

2. Anyone try PBTE and TAB? Will it help on FC improvement too?

Pls do update us if u have any good news on the new HU...

It seem like bonnet brutal opened by force using some kind of tools. Perhaps the CSI guys open the bonnet for investigation after the burn.

Added on August 9, 2012, 12:24 amI done my research for Toyota, Nissan, and Honda models for year and follow up all the updates of those targeted cars.....end up, I bought Forte which never in my list at all. I just love it at my first glance on it, and I still love it as day 1 after 2nd anniversary.

Added on August 9, 2012, 12:39 amI get to the right show room, but unfortunately didn't get the right SA. There are not as much of reference and info when the time I bought my car. I went to AZ Master twice, and they do offer me good package (of course, not as good as current offer package and generous free gifts), but they do not have the Titanium Silver color that I looking for in their stock, and that SA told me that I got to wait for 3 months for TS color. Thus, I end up bought from Naza branch with no discount and lousy free gifts. It took me quite about 2 weeks to get the car. While I waiting for the car arrival, I saw a row of Titanium Silver new cars ready in front of AZ Master show room! .

I do not know why that SA failed to tell me the right info, but if I manage to meet that legendary SA at very beginning, the story ending will be different for sure.

high speed balancing .. some people call it on wheel balancing ... you can go to any tire shop and ask them to do on wheel balancing .. not all tire shop can do this because it need professional or experience people to do this ..the balancing will be done manually based on what speed the tire will vibrate ..then they put the weight on which area affected on wheels ..no balancing machine used for this ...

if you go to klang (coz I live there last time) ...they only charge you about RM10 - RM15 per wheels for this on wheels balancing..

Can try Kee Hin - Old Klang Road.. ( Next to Shell Petrol Station )
Previously i did on wheel balancing there for my old wira..

I'm sure song inside my thumb drive some of them less than 20 letters how come mine cant even detect a single song. Anyway the best solution is to tranfer to the micro SD card.

Added on August 9, 2012, 10:35 amGood morning everyone. I just join this big friendly Forte family. Add me into the list please 1.6sx 6 Speed white.

Indirectly I actually bought from Edwin as I go thru my friend to deal with him. No choice la he is my many years friend so need to support a bit. Can't comment much since my friend is the one who deal with him but he is a nice guy and he did a very good job in delivering time. He say Wednesday he really did it. Thank you very much really appreciate it.

Added on August 9, 2012, 10:43 amAfter driving last night I have few question need to ask.

1) The pull left issues u guys keep on mentioning is it if you let go the steering it will automatically move to the left? Mine on seems like quite obvious as if im driving with 1 hand need lots of energy to maintain it. Can I send to service center now or better wait till first service only send?

2) The USB issue as i mention above of cos cant detect any song. And my radio reception seems like quite week...

3) Another question about song, I connect my iPhone via bluetooth dont know why sometime it doesnt have sound. The song is playing and i can even skip next track from HU it just no sound. When phone ringing voice is coming out from speaker. Wonder why...??

4) Can the GPS sound volume increase? As if im listening radio while using GPS when the beautiful lady inside the GPS speak the voice is soft till i cant hear anything. If I increase the volume when it change back to radio the sound is very very loud. Is the any way to louder the GPS voice only?

After all this car really worth every single cent you spend on it... If the resell value is not too low in the next few years I can't see any reason you dont buy this car if you have 80k budget...

Does anybody know where to get the HU new skin? I try to change it but no other file in the internal HU memory nor the micro SD card.
