my mentality was like "so parliah geh tayar.. give ppl free ppl also dowan lar.."

no offence to some ppl yah

Try changing all tires to better ones from upmarket range.. lagi menggigit jalan, lagi selesa oooo.. twice the confidence from the stock tires.. lagi happy ooo..

Don't mind me to correct you.. I really feel geram when people referring on vehicle engine capacity 1.6 litre as 1.6cc..
either you should mention 1.6 litre.. or 1,600cc..

faham mou.. ??

do you satisfied with your car overall.. ? i really don't get it when people condemn
on korean cars its dull and not fun to drive, handling like sampan, power like ciput, quality worse
than Proton etc etc..

good enough when you loving it.. at least u like what you've bought hehehe
its good that don't be too proud on anything, later orang ingat kita eksyen.. lu langsi lu mati

rims ar.. not much experience about it.. i wouldn't change rims so often..
to me changing rims are like throwing money into the sea while the ori rims can be used
and in good condition..

most important and significant is tires quality.. that's why I will purchase the correct tires
after car purchase and when tires due to change..

perhaps if you guys felt 17" is underpowered or sluggish paired with 1.6 litre engine,
can give it a try to use 15" rims..
i'm wokay with 17" because 2.0 engine has enough torque..
i remembered years ago I owned Waja EV.. which using stock 16" trims.. acceleration
was quite "heavy" and hesitant compared with std Waja.. saving grace was high speed 140km/h feels planted
on ground and less strained on the NVH compared to Waja with 15" stock rims..

you were saying you're using 25°C A/C with cabin air recycling mode, air blowing body + leg mode ?

I am not technician, but I can describe to you why is that..
25-26°C is consider room temperature.. therefore, if you are on leg blowing mode,
the A/C auto climate system will adjust to blow abit warm air to your feet so you could feel
more comfortable instead blowing warm air to your face and body which can make your body
feel stuffy.. your case is obvious when outside temperature at 25-26°C early in the morning or
rainy weather..

theoretically, in South Korea winter chilly weather, people would set the leg blowing mode to
MAX heater first when get inside the car to heat up the chilling legs.. when your feet is warm, automatically
your body feel comfortable and body won't shivering..

getting in the car during winter weather -10°C its not ideal to straight hot air to the cold face.. will
catch flu and sick easily.. that's what my UK and South Korean friends advised me..

in conclusion, Forte Auto Climate A/C system adjust to the cabin set temperature while keeping occupants
as comfy as possible inside..

correct.. Forte A/C system is not the same as locally assembled Toyota..
Toyota Altis tipu orang wan.. set to 25°C but still blowing icy cold air and ah pek and ah soh will go like praising..
"wahhhhh.. Toyota car damn good leh.. so comfort and so powerful the A/C"

Cars which comes with heater air.. should set to 22°C at least to compensate our Malaysian burning hot climate
to be feel really comfortable..

itu I tatau.. hehe

pro meh.. no la.. just sharing my views of experience owning Forte only mah..
A/C warmer at driver side.. to me this shouldn't be normal.. i think its an issue that need to be fix..
anyone here had fixed that problem.. ??

that's the case i mentioned about winter season temp set at 28C above.. try hit the 'auto' button and max the temperature.. it will blow only leg full blast with heat air..

in Malaysia.. try set temp to 20°C at all times for few days and observe.. if after awhile vents at the leg area begin to blow warm air at 20°C set temp still.. bring your car to SC to inspect your A/C system..

among all.. mine is paling guai guai geh Forte.. virgin as siu mui mui..

Michelin Primary.. ?? new tyre for ladies market ka.. ?? haha

Mary had a little lamb.. little lamb.. little lamb..

yeap.. Michelin PLC is RM475/pc.. in Klang can get slightly cheaper kua..

if you think Forte costs a really big amount of money to you.. I suggest you to look for other cars options which don't break your bank..
and do more test drive on each models that you're targeting..

and in case if you did that and you liked the Forte the most.. Forte to me is a well done car, probably the best choice of C Segment for me if you're looking for comfy, good interior space and easy to drive car.
I just kinda disappointed some Kia Service branch in West Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur).. inefficient way to assist customers and lack of knowledge..
perhaps I should try the other better ones which buddies here suggested to me for next service..

Please calculate your overall expenses and make sure you won't overspend too much for a car. Consider some hidden expenses for maintaining the car for years too.
And Kia Rio is also a great looking car and roomy enough to ferry a small family around. Hopefully it will sell maximum RM68k..
