Also you need to consider your body size. Is Ford Fiesta a small size car? That will make you not comfortable with big body.

Personally, I think the FC is very important especially you travel a lot.

If you will have to always stuck in the jam (city drive), Forte will only can do 9-10litre/100km. I think Elantra is slightly better for city drive.

But if you always can speeding, Elantra is good FC. Forte not bad.

I just need a car that is fast, good build quality(no rattling noise when langgar roadbump, minor potholes), good resale value so I can sell in 4-5 years time for bigger car. I do understand that Kia and Ford aftersales can improve after the Forte and Fiesta, thus I'm optimistic. This future car is really important to my job.

Then you can remove Forte. I owned for 1 month car but hear irritating rattling noise from dashboard and very difficult to fix unless take out the dashboard. Not sure about others.

That's very true, really appreciate you guys pointing out on this..Polo service interval around 15k KM and cost around RM500-600. Road tax is cheap but anyone know abt the insurance for the Polo S TSi?

But still I'm goin to discuss with my parents n close friends abt this too..bcuz now what I'm worried abt the Forte is the resale value since the new one is out soon...even i just saw Fiesta spyshots of the next gen model...  sad.gif

When you want to resell your car? If next 2 - 3 yrs, then dont get Forte. But if you thinking to keep car for 5-6 yrs, I think now if you get any car also will be the same. Because all car model will be renewed every 3-5 yrs. Keep in mind if you get VIOS today, next 2-3 yrs will have new model and still the price will be dropped.

Forte is cheap and full of spec. Of course has some minor problem such as rattling dashboard. But worth to buy. You can wait for next 1 or 2 yrs for K3. But I dont think you will get 80k ++ price. That should at least in 95-100K price.

Same to other gadgets handphone or computer. You can wait forever but get nothing.

I agreed you cannot buy something almost obsolete. But Forte will not happen so soon. K3 will only come maybe next year or 2014. I guess.

You cannot always wait for next gen one lah .... neverending .... The Forte got many discounts now .. because it will be replaced. You pay for what you get. You always pay more for new gen. smile.gif

Same for mobile phone....
