Has anyone know stock availability for 2.0sx recently?
Hope to get 2.0 instead of 1.6 sad.gif

Afraid will regret if 1.6 performance not up to my expectation.

Actually have already signed loan agreement and paid d/p, can I upgrade to 2.0 if registration has been done?

thanks biggrin.gif

first thing to do is tinted. considering to take Huper Optik, heard that it's good. Any comment on tinted?

also thinking to do coating, penang island here got PPS, not sure what option available. suggestion?

last thing in mind (at least for now, hehe) is changing sport rims to lighter weight, either 16" or 17", i don't really like the bumpy feeling of 17" stock rim, maybe i have not get used to the feeling...

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?

Guys, what is the best ron95 for Forte 1.6SX? I am using Esso but I am looking for the best for fuel saving.

I plan to use Fully synthetic 5W30 engine oil for my 1k mileage service.

I have used Caltex and Esso. Feel no different.
Will go for 1k service this week, depend on the oil provided by SC.

Hi guys, I'm newbie here.. Does the 2.0 variant come with EPS or hydraulic steering.. thanks.

2.0 is ESP, before I buy already tested 1.6 and 2.0
Go for 2.0 if u can afford, really nicer than 1.6

I've been facing this reverse camera malfunction since the 1 week ago I got my new car.
The video image doesn't appear in the rear mirror sometimes and green light blinking in the rear mirror.
But sometimes it does appear and it seems to me like there's problem with the connection between the rear mirror and the camera.

Explained to the service center several times included my 1st 1000km service time the service consultant keep on insisting that this problem occurs to almost 80% of forte owners facing same problem and Kia has no idea what and how to solve this problem. They insist this issue is not cause by connection and they didn't even help me to take a look and check double confirm the problem.
The service consultant told me that currently they do not have replacement parts for reverse camera and require to order. They also said that they do not know when will the reverse camera come in and some of the customers waited for 6 months.

The problem continues and really frustrated in such small issue which should able to settle and confirm within an hour has drag till like without a dateline. And I don't feel that the service center even try to take a look and do a double confirmation on the issue.

1) anyone facing same reverse camera like me?

2) any good advice of whih service center will take customer's complain and property more seriously?

3) other than Kia service center any advice of where to fix and check my problem? Any shop to introduce??

Appreciate for some help here:)

I have the reverse camera problem too.
but I forgot to complain during 1000km service, because its not serious, rarely happen.

1. Someone needs to update the maintenance schedule. 1k service costs me RM280..

2. Where is the best SC in Kedah/Penang mainland? I went to Sg Petani SC and i'm pretty sure i'm not returning there..the service was good,only 40 minutes to service my car,but the waiting room smells bad and looks moldy,and there's many staff sleeping in the waiting room during breaks (i guess it was fasting month then,so no use blaming them as well).

3. Looking for tips to improve FC. My FC is 9.7l/100km now,is this normal?


Added on August 26, 2012, 11:23 am

Yeah,i agree. When i was surveying for a new car (before i settled for the Forte) i actually wanted a Mazda 3..early last year it costs 92k if i'm not mistaken. About a month back,a cousin of mine asked about the Mazda 3,so i called the showroom and to my surprise,the car costs over 100k now..

Most likely when the K3 comes the price will be different than the Forte 6 speed..in the end though,i agree: JUST BUY WHAT YOU LIKE  thumbup.gif
*
My first service total 248.
-Petronas fully synthetic 220
-Oil filter & misc 28

My fuel consumption also around 9.x liter/100km
But that is not accurate, just for reference only.

Best result I have is full tank 509km (Caltex Ron 95/ RM84 / 70% highway, 30% city drive)
Currently mileage is 1400km smile.gif

u can get the plugs at myforte group on facebook someone selling it for rm145 includes postage. someone name Jon Sol i think..
i first change the filter.. felt minimal increase in kick for first few seconds then it just goes flat.
adding plugs gives minimal prolong boost when accelerating.. these 2 should be enough for family car like forte.

anyway this just me. some people might feel different & have different opinion

Thanks again for sharing.

I love this thread and lovely Forte.
You guys are awesome!

Hey guys, anyone using original mobis door pocket tray?

i really need this but not sure if it has fitting issue?
is it normal that the door pocket is quite tight to fit in the door handle?

another question is, is that front door and rear door has the same size for door pocket?
i ask this because my friend wants to share with me half set. we just need to use it on front doors only smile.gif

hope someone can advise me. TQ ^^

Ya. This is what happen to me. Everytime after rain go back home i have to wipe it with cloth. Of cos not using soap just plain water. My dad always say " Cheh new car, see how long you can maintain this". And need to polish few times a year. I had a bro work at a famous car wash in malaysia so I can get free polish thats why I never worried... tongue.gif

But white car really more sui leh. Look around you, damm lots of white car.
