happened to stop by yesterday at Matrade.. I was able to take a glimpse on the
updated version of Forte 2.0SX in white displaying there..

I found out some subtle changes though..

On the exterior:
1) Fog lamps which now comes with DRL (Day light bulb)

On the inside:
very first thing I had noticed..
1) Chrome finish door lock slide mechanism and door open latch.. mine previous batch is silver spray painted..
2) Door panel plastics on both front doors look and soft to the touch, texture remains the same

and then..
3) A/C now feature CleanAir system logo on dashboard like what Optima, Sorento and Sportage has..
4) Smooth leather without leather texture wrapped steering wheel like in some luxury car.. much nicer
to hold and certainly brings the interior look to upmarket car category (VW, Range Rover)..
mine the older batch Forte leather steering wheel looks and coarse to hold like Elephant skin..
5) Steering wheel grey spray paint finish is now gone.. replaced with black piano high gloss plastic..
(don't know if its a good thing.. can catch finger prints and scratches easily)

and salesman mentioned out Naza Kia would hike up the price of Forte on January 2013 after the launch
of Kia Rio.. naik harga estimates RM4-8k for 1.6 and 2.0 variant..

whoever still making decision which C-segment car to buy.. now quickly go to Matrade Exhibition and have a test drive
on Forte 2.0SX and act fast today ! whistling.gif today is the last day rolleyes.gif

Relax.. mine also the same.. movable slide up and down.. flimsy fitting plastic cover..
as long as it doesn't moves and rattles its wokay.. yawn.gif
the plastic cover is just to hide the wire connecting to the electrochromic rear view mirror with
LCD reverse camera..

yes i saw it.. but they tinted all windows in 95% black so hard to
see what are the features thrown inside..

The new Rio which coming to boleh-land on January next year will be equipped with only
1,400cc Gamma inline-4 N/A engine with 108hp and 140nm torque (comparable with Nissan Almera and T. Vios)
with the advantage features of 6 speed auto and all the goodies similar to the high spec SX Forte to be expected
with the Rio..

However, you should remember Rio and Forte falls on different category of subcompact and compact car..
Rio for people who prefer small car to drive around city easily.. Forte is a proper small family car with more
space and comfort than the Rio, based on the car reviews videos in YouTube sweat.gif

Btw, there's a glass sunroof on the Rio's roof ?? rclxms.gif

you should at least test drive first before making any final decision on booking.. buying a car is not like buying a pack of chicken rice.. sweat.gif
frankly I wasn't really confident on driving Forte as a new car before.. weird all round visibility and its size are hard to judge and intimidating to drive..
after awhile, I could drive it like driving a kancil already.. tongue.gif previously I owned a Vios, Waja, Swift.. Waja and Forte's all round visibility is limited compare with
B-Segment..

I did my first service @ 1.8k km instead last time..no harm done & still can use the 1st service coupon.

Anyway, dont exceed 2k km for the first service as the service coupon & the car's warranty might void...

Just placed a booking for 2.0 sx without the drl. Without the drl,the sa gave me 4k rebate + free body kits.
If with drl,only 2k rebate or free body kit..choose one only,..cannot have both..

Should i change to drl one and take the cash rebate option?

happened to stop by yesterday at Matrade.. I was able to take a glimpse on the
updated version of Forte 2.0SX in white displaying there..

I found out some subtle changes though..

On the exterior:
1) Fog lamps which now comes with DRL (Day light bulb)

On the inside:
very first thing I had noticed..
1) Chrome finish door lock slide mechanism and door open latch.. mine previous batch is silver spray painted..
2) Door panel plastics on both front doors look and soft to the touch, texture remains the same

and then..
3) A/C now feature CleanAir system logo on dashboard like what Optima, Sorento and Sportage has..
4) Smooth leather without leather texture wrapped steering wheel like in some luxury car.. much nicer
to hold and certainly brings the interior look to upmarket car category (VW, Range Rover)..
mine the older batch Forte leather steering wheel looks and coarse to hold like Elephant skin..

5) Steering wheel grey spray paint finish is now gone.. replaced with black piano high gloss plastic..
(don't know if its a good thing.. can catch finger prints and scratches easily)

and salesman mentioned out Naza Kia would hike up the price of Forte on January 2013 after the launch
of Kia Rio.. naik harga estimates RM4-8k for 1.6 and 2.0 variant..

whoever still making decision which C-segment car to buy.. now quickly go to Matrade Exhibition and have a test drive
on Forte 2.0SX and act fast today !  whistling.gif  today is the last day  rolleyes.gif
if need to claim warranty steering, possible to request this one...?? tongue.gif

yes i saw it.. but they tinted all windows in 95% black so hard to
see what are the features thrown inside..

The new Rio which coming to boleh-land on January next year will be equipped with only
1,400cc Gamma inline-4 N/A engine with 108hp and 140nm torque (comparable with Nissan Almera and T. Vios)
with the advantage features of 6 speed auto and all the goodies similar to the high spec SX Forte to be expected
with the Rio..

However, you should remember Rio and Forte falls on different category of subcompact and compact car..
Rio for people who prefer small car to drive around city easily.. Forte is a proper small family car with more
space and comfort than the Rio, based on the car reviews videos in YouTube  sweat.gif

Btw, there's a glass sunroof on the Rio's roof ??  rclxms.gif

Assuming your expectation is right bro, did you ask about the price as well? Kinda curious also. tongue.gif

Good to hear that the Forte price increase... Means resale value will be increased too.

But... Dont play play with the price, that will simply cause the sales drop. Today we have many peoples buy this car is because of the price. If price hike up, people will choose newer engine car like m3, polo sedan, Inspira, Elantra with same price.

Ah Bennedict kor.. more choices is always good for consumers..
in my opinion i think best value for money car at this period of time is Inspira 2.0E.. about 82k
after major discounts and can get 2.0 engine with C-Segment body size liao.. but then.. its a Proton..
each Inspira test cars I've tested in all Proton Showrooms before got kiuk kiuk kiuk absorber noise shakehead.gif

how's your car treating you ? apart of your FC complaints.. I think Forte's FC is just at average level..
my house has Altis 1.8E 4 speed and easily gets 70% city drive average 9liter/100km.. and my 2.0SX reads 10.5liter/100km..
but I forgive that for Forte being more spacious+comfort+better handling and stability+safety features over Altis numb
steering+unpredictable control and handling+limited legroom+kosong car spec for RM108k..

Hello Bear Bear tailloh...

Forte 1.6SX treat me well lah .. no complain. so far only complain is dashboard rattling sound from HU only... Meter rattling sound gone automatically already (donno why).

Fuel consumption also not a complaint lah ... Car like Elantra, Inspira, Waja, Preve also having same FC as my Forte. Only this car FC cannot beat Japan and german car only.

Last time my driving speed average 27km/h ... the FC hit 10L/100KM. Last round my driving speed hit 32km/h (less jam and can drive faster) and FC improved to 8.9L/100KM. Not bad kuah.. I am very light footer lah ...

Next time, when I got money, I am going to change to lighter RIM, and also change to engine oil 5W20. Hope it will improve more FC. rclxms.gif

You start drive from morning, is it? you start drive from cold weather, is it? Then you will see this smoke for a while. I think as long as your engine doesnt make noise, then should be fine.


Hey, your K&N air filter good or not? Share your experience? what is the advantage after install this? your is 1.6 or 2.0 SX?

Added on November 11, 2012, 10:53 pmHey all sifu out there. I found my stock tire very noisy especially over 80km/hr (silverstone V7 ). Thinking to change the tire.

Any good recommendation?
Think of getting the Michelin PS 2/3 or Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric 1/2.

Have anyone of you tried it?

Will it void your warranty changing the air filter?

You can bring your own oil and also changing the rims? Will Kia void the warranty?

Ah_bear, since you got a chance to actually be there to look at rio so close, is the tail lamp normal bulb or LED?

RM62 / RM1.90 = 32.6 Liter (your tank is 52 Liter = if fully empty tht should be near to Rm100)

429km / 32.6 Liter = 0.13 Liter/KM


Here's my finding. Nearly 400KM....pump Rm80 till full. about 150km used to KLCC/LCCT/KL....rest is city drive....Max speed 110km/h (average 60-80km/h)...so far FC is 0.085/KM rclxms.gif icon_idea.gif icon_idea.gif

Seriously its all about how you control the throttle whistling.gif


Added on November 12, 2012, 11:00 amGPS volume is very soft even at volume 30..Max. I'd this normal? Tot when u playing MP3 or anything while GPS running It should at least hearable??

Got term 'cold smoke' mehh? I called it water vapour tongue.gif

It is normal to see this water vapour (white smoke) especially in cold weather (morning usually)..u also might see water droplet in the exhaust tip due to condensation process. Complete combustion produced water. So if u see this water vapour in the morning, it means that your engine is combusting well wink.gif

I hope because of raining season recently caused this  sad.gif  so I'm gonna monitor for a while. Honestly, my engine quite noisy. When accelerate, there is this weird sound which I don't know whether it's normal since I got it first time when got the car.

Regarding the filter, the response time really increase a lot and seems more powerful compare to stock filter. In term of FC still not sure, as I just install it biggrin.gif  I'm 2.0 btw

I also not sure whether will void the warranty after changing filter. Anyone here went to SC with their changed filter? Same question with the DRL. Been poison and tempted to install it  tongue.gif
*
I spoke with SC Agent before. They said the K&N will void warranty. They explain to me more powerful is because it filtering lesser and more dirts will be suck in. Also, the K&N will affect the ECU. Not sure how true it is.

So, you must remove it and replace back the original filter before send to service center.

I guess is brake pad kena water. Try not to watering your tyre when it is hot. Try not to run thru the water when driving...

Any good suggestion for quiet tyres? Found that my stock tyres are causing a lot of noise above 80km/hr.

Anyone tried Hankook V12 / Michelin PS3?

How is the tread wear and noise level?

bicycle pass by also can hear? no such issue come on! hahahaha..the soundproof is pretty good, tyre roar is normal for low profile tyres...i have 0 regrets getting a forte..if i could choose again i'll buy forte in a heartbeat...forte has no rear wiper....bumpy ride because the suspension is stiff - meant for good cornering and stability rather than comfort! you have to understand the car you're going to buy or bought, why the car is that way and not complain why the car so bumpy, etc etc...for noisy dashboard, mine is good after 1 1/2 years, occasionally got the problem, but i dont have it that often to the point it annoys me. high FC - yes, this car's FC is higher than most other cars esp vios, but u must remember its a 1.3-1.4 tonne car and its C segment, the FC is comparable with other C segment cars...and if u like this car, forget about the FC..you will ruin the experience..else, get kancil/kelisa/viva/vios.

Actually I still can't get over the creaking and rattling noises on the dashboard, left and right side of the car. Can't seem to trace where it is. Brought to SC, but every time mechanic drive, can't hear the sound rclxub.gif Don't know can help by doing sound proofing to "fill" up the empty spaces help or not >.<

I've set in my colleague's elantra, and I must say, the built quality is top notch. But no paddle shifters, the design (I prefer aggressive looks of forte), the value, and the god damned waiting list of elantra, I still think Forte edges out a little bit smile.gif

And they went on and on how great City handles, how amazing FC vios can achieve, how better Myvi sound proof is better compare with forte. And they even comment about after the 5 years warranty, forte's engine is guarantee to break down ( as they stated korean manufacturer always offer all the great feature one can think of but minus the quality ). Now, i m starting to think i have make the right choice..sigh >.<

Hi, it happened to my car a few months ago, i drove it to the sc & suddenly its gone, according to the manager it could be small stones or tars stuck in between the disc & brake pad that caused it. The sc did their checks & clean the brake pads/disc & didn't find any problems. After that no more sound appeared until today. I advice you to take the car to the sc for a proper checking B)

You gotta look at the overall package friend smile.gif Each manufacturer can brag about 1 thing. But as a whole, I feel Forte is smack right in the middle in terms of requirements. Cheap, good looking, handles well, performance good, acceptable FC, big cabin, simplistic interior design, huge boot space.

However, build quality somewhat below par for my car sweat.gif I just hate creaking and rattling!! - but you can play loud music as a workaround, but i prefer to hear my engine ROARRRRR tongue.gif

Don't blame KIA. Blame the local assembly for rattling sound. The dashboard has many small pieces and easier can have rattling sound problem. Ask naza lah....

Never regret. Think twice you pay how much for this car. All these are small matter. You have to ask naza. Yes, fuel consumption is slightly higher than Japan or German car. But remember you pay less 20k. That can make you save more money

Why listen to your friend? I fart sure I will say my fart smell good. Listen to forte owner. If you drive 100% in city, and over 2000km mileage, then you should worry about Fc.

I am impress if KIA can create a car that only start breakdown after 5yrs. Other car manufacture should learn from KIA then. Is that mean Toyota 3 yrs warranty means their quality will not long last after 3 yrs? Don't listen to their bullshit.

You pay b segment price but get c segment car. Only forte, inspira, preve has this price.

Don't know bout you but one of the reason why i've never look into City because of my colleagues. One who test drove city and say... it's not bad but slyphy better and one who actually bought it and come and tell me. If you gonna buy a car don't buy a City. I Fxxking regret. Expensive and doesn't have much feature and isn't spacious enough for his family.

That's why for my recent purchase before i choose forte, I've shortlisted only Almera, Preve, Forte, Inspira, & Polo Sedan... End up after meeting Mr.Edwin I've decided for the Forte. It looks the best among these car and It has the best power/weight ratio for a non-national car. If Elantra got superb rebate like what Edwin offered me and do not need to wait for x months then most probably I'll go for Elantra. hahaha. Also.. for 5 years i would have worry free. I dont want to drive my car for 3 years and after that due to unforeseen car dmgs I would spoil my 5 year saving + investment plan.

unless u go to find out and compare the spec btw forte with other cars, if not u will never know wat is the differences. at first when i decide to buy a new car i only think of vios, city or saga.

think of vios and city because like wat other said fc good, quality good, a lot of ppl use so spare part cheap, maintenance cheap, service cheap, if got probs oso can solve it easily coz many foreman. think of saga bcoz after go to see the real car of vios and city, i found out is actually a bit kosong for me...ya the quality of vios and city is good, but nothing much inside n the most important, kosong car cost more than 80k? that y i turn to saga, think of if wan me to use 80k to buy a kosong car then i rather buy a cheap n kosong car.

until one day when i was free then i go to see the forte n then find out a lot of spec inside this car so decide to choose it. for other ppl then don need the spec like wat push start, keyless, build in gps, rear view camera, auto air-cond etc, i actually no need too, but if u wan me to use 80k buy an empty car then i wont buy it, but if the car got a lot of spec i can consider it. tat y now i choose to buy forte.

now i choose to buy forte but family dont like, say quality not good, fc high, scare the electronic things rosak bla bla bla. but i still will buy it.

actually i wan to know why many ppl like to say korea car not good?

from what i know korean car owns the best high FC in its title. but other than that, its solid and comfort to drive compare to the other rival. my dad owns a kia sephia, and its 10 yrs old, so far not much issue, but wear & tare only....but still comfort and stable to drive compare to my old wira.... rclxms.gif

korea cars have bad history..FC is high (still high actually and recently got bad reports tarnishing their images even further - the MPG listed on their cars were incorrect..just do a google serach on hyundai and kia wrong mpg reported and you will find it..), poor quality, etc..but i think this round they are trying to change, when you see them hiring someone like peter schreyer, you know that they mean business. They want to shed that bad image off everyone's mind. I must say, they are doing a great job so far unlike Proton..proton is doing better than they used to, but not as good as Kia. Recently, Kia went into the top 50 brands for the first time - this shows that the Kia brand name is improving all the time, so I believe in them now.

Naza's involvement with Kia in Malaysia isn't helping either - they have been labelled as giving poor service and such, but these are all through word of mouth - personally, I have no issues with Naza's service centers, I've been to at least 3 of them and I can say so far they're ok, the ones that were once run by Mr Arul are the better ones. But in any case, its not as bad as people perceive it to be. SO until you actually try it, you won't know OR if you have a few friends who have visited Naza's service centers (and done a little read up on your own) - then only you'll know. If you hear it from someone that does not own a Naza vehicle saying bad things about them, you'd have to think twice before accepting their advice or taking their word about Naza too seriously.

You can consider SAGA SE if you want. I ride on my mum's SAGA SE i love it! it handles nice. from 110km/h - 160km/h in a couple of secs and @ 160km/h is still stable on stock rims and tyre. really an awesome ride. Opps.. It's Forte here not SAGA. tongue.gif

Btw.. for the other Forte SX owners.. would it be really worth it to downgrade the rims to 16"? Wonder can look for stock 16" rims for it.

Bro 16" it's lighter and more comfy. My savvy last time 15" using profile 55 tyres.. The rim so easy bengkok and koyak.. Malaysia isn't a suitable place for low profile. If Kia would allow i might want to opt for 195/60/15 or 195/65/15 tyres.. the widest in 15" range.

Hi, do you know where i can find one piece of forte rim only? and how much does it cost? I saw online that other are selling used 17 inch but not forte. How can I know whether are they suitable?

I know very little about car, appreciate if any sifu can advise.

Last, I have owned forte for 2 years. I have cracked one rim and cracked 4 tyres. All tyres cracked on the side so cannot repair. Before that I drive Kembara and never has this problem. Is it that forte rim is too low, and I shall change to other type of rim?

Hi, just wondering anyone has regrets after getting forte? Come across quite a number of ppl complaining about Noisy Tires, Bumpy rides , High fuel consumption, noisy dashboard, noisy rear wiper, lousy sound proof where any bikes or bicycle pass by also able to hear, intermittent reverse camera.
*
tyre sound become a lot lesser after i changed my stock tyre to cheap continental.
fuel consumption i think it is good enough, if full highway full tank can achieve at least 600km. for city drive, heavy and slow traffic give me around 450km.
dashboard rattles and camera malfunction depends on luck? mine have no problem hmm.gif
also, if you have considered previous civic or current altis, they have the same dashboard cracking sound problem due to design and our temperature.
bike lalu those vroom vromm type can hear quite clear, it is damn irritating but i dont think other car cannot hear, if cannot hear then horn also cannot hear laugh.gif


problem i faced so far for a year car,
1) glokk glokk sound when driving slowly at 20km-30km, didnt check yet, seems common
2) steering wheel leather peel off, changed to new steering, no problem already



QUOTE(gigohlo @ Nov 13 2012, 10:41 AM)
Actually I still can't get over the creaking and rattling noises on the dashboard, left and right side of the car. Can't seem to trace where it is. Brought to SC, but every time mechanic drive, can't hear the sound  rclxub.gif Don't know can help by doing sound proofing to "fill" up the empty spaces help or not >.<

I've set in my colleague's elantra, and I must say, the built quality is top notch. But no paddle shifters, the design (I prefer aggressive looks of forte), the value, and the god damned waiting list of elantra, I still think Forte edges out a little bit smile.gif
*
bro, cracking sound you can stuck some foam into the plastic gap, at hu, clock panel, aircond vent.
anyway it just crack or a while due to temperature change.
hyundai car are better build, due the the price

As stated in the user's manual, Forte can use 16" & 15" rims also. For 16" rims, use 205/55 tires as recommended & for 15" rims, use 195/65 tires. But to find 16" & 15" rims with PCD 114.3 x 5 stud for Forte might be a tough job for u tongue.gif

Not Forte rims is too low..but the tire profile used is 215/45/17 which is a low profile tire (low profile tires usually give less protection to rims when u masuk lubang..lol)

Your spare rim & tire is still in good condition right? Just use your spare rim & tire..no need to find a single piece of Forte original rim. Just buy 1 piece of 2nd hand rim & tire to replace your spare rim & tire...

For the tire profile, is that the standard profile for Forte? Or can I change to another type of profile which give more protection? If yes, what will be the profile?

My spare rim is still good. I am now using the spare rim. For the 2nd hand backup rim, I can just buy any 17 inch rim or what is the specification?

Provided that u buy a lighter (lightweight) rims, u will get significantly comfy ride, better acceleration, better FC especially for town driving & not to mention the cheaper tire price than the 17" tire. Also i'm less fear if got hole on the road now..last time when use the stock 17" rims, in order to save my rims, i keep swaying left & right to avoid the holes on the road (which is a dangerous maneuver sometime).

But..there is always a but, by downgrading the rims & tires, u might sacrifice a bit on road grip & handling & also the overall styling (looks) of the car sweat.gif

Yupp..that's the recommended profile for the 17" rim. Increasing the tyre profile (while still using the 17" rims) will give an effect to the car's speedometer & odometer reading, might also alter with handling characteristic & the risk of the tire 'touching' the fender in some situation. The car might look weird also i believe... rolleyes.gif If u want to increase tire profile, downgrade to 16" is the way to go in which u can use 55 profile tire...

To replace the spare rims, buy any 17", 16" @ 15" rim with PCD 114.3 x 5 stud (holes) will do (of course with suitable tire profile)..it's meant for temporary use anyway.

Best Fc getting so far is 6.1l/100km at average 100-110km/h. Others is around 6.5-7.8l/100km

Guess now can only do service at 1.5 or 1.8k km ;-)

CKD. Only the first batch of the 1.6SX & 2.0SX (mostly roll out at the end of 2009 & early 2010) are CBU unit from Korea...

Provided that u buy a lighter (lightweight) rims, u will get significantly comfy ride, better acceleration, better FC especially for town driving & not to mention the cheaper tire price than the 17" tire. Also i'm less fear if got hole on the road now..last time when use the stock 17" rims, in order to save my rims, i keep swaying left & right to avoid the holes on the road (which is a dangerous maneuver sometime).

But..there is always a but, by downgrading the rims & tires, u might sacrifice a bit on road grip & handling & also the overall styling (looks) of the car  sweat.gif


Added on November 14, 2012, 10:44 am
Yupp..that's the recommended profile for the 17" rim. Increasing the tyre profile (while still using the 17" rims) will give an effect to the car's speedometer & odometer reading, might also alter with handling characteristic & the risk of the tire 'touching' the fender in some situation. The car might look weird also i believe... rolleyes.gif  If u want to increase tire profile, downgrade to 16" is the way to go in which u can use 55 profile tire...

To replace the spare rims, buy any 17", 16" @ 15" rim with PCD 114.3 x 5 stud (holes) will do (of course with suitable tire profile)..it's meant for temporary use anyway.

What is the good, cheaper, lighter, reliable brand of 17 rim I should get? I have no knowledge about RIM.

impossible 100 per car. i heard is around 2000 per car. free insurance and road tax is from the company not the sa so wont affect their earning margin.

No worries, think of all that when I book the car. But now what can you say!! Just love it. The sound proof is good that's why ppl can hear rattling sound when it's so light. Handling better that most of the C segment car out there, Thanks to the ESP and low profile tyre. And all those accessories which you just can't hope for in city or vios.

My advice is subscribe to those car wash center that give u annual wash, Polish n wax package membership. Coating will not make your paintwork invincible n swirl free...water mark still will stick...moreover u need extra careful with ur maintenance. ..need to wash with special shampoo...else those Rm few Buck car wash will damage ur coating...

Btw I do the coating before I get the car and I'm quite satisfy with it smile.gif

I'm unsure about Sierra Glow coating quality la but i feel PPS worth to do it
Btw it's recommended by my SA and it's technology from USA use to protect Ship and Aeroplane (if not mistaken)
I get 5 years warranty on the coating (they promised me any small scratch they can fix for free)
and no need to wax and polish anymore.

I did it around RM700 (I asked my SA request for me the lowest special price)
and before you do must ask them about maintenance(for the coating) my SA told me the maintenance is not compulsary to do (need to pay$)
and any small scratch they can fix for you no problem within 5 years. smile.gif

If I were you, I will give them back the double wtf cheapo overpriced car worshipper idiot look.
City's acceleration is no better than Myvi 1.3, bumpy and handles like sampan (too much body roll) on curvy road, Vios engine is noisy like Proton Saga carburettor above 80kmph,
Myvi drives like a toy car, eye sore plasticky interior, jiggly and bounces up and down (if your friend likes that kinda ride, he would like
to have gf with big boobs)

I am a Vios (TRD Sportivo 1st batch) owner before as I mentioned, FC is kind to my wallet,
but it gave me terrible engine sore throat noise and lousy refinement for my everyday drive,.. overall space is so tight
which I am kinda embarrassed to fetch my friends (all are 6 foot tall) eventhough they are fine for short journeys
but not outstation journeys.

City, Vios, Myvi certainly shouldn't in comparison with Forte.. Forte wins over them on EVERY ASPECT even cornering stability..
except its FC reading which belongs in C-Segment region.

And I bet you even when Kia Rio launches in M'sia early next year, Kia Rio is still much more outstanding than Myvi, City, Vios in no doubt.

Sorry but don't call me a Kia or Korean fanboy, because Koreans are really stepping up their game and came quite a long way
in producing good looking, high specs level and quality product than all these 3rd world "Japanese" cars made in Malaysia and Thailand.
If someone is telling me Vios is good ? I'll say NO. Owned it for only 3 years and I am not able to live with it everyday.

Just wondering whether anyone has spray paint their forte at the new Kia Setapak 4S centre. I just enquired how much to respray my right hand side back panel and was quoted RM 500 for it. Outside I got about RM 150.

The reason I enquire about Naza 4S centre vs outside is because I want original paint.

Somemore Naza Setapak said have to leave car for 2 days. Outside shop said 1/2 day. Dunno why Naza take so long. They said becuase they wan to good job and mention if done too fast after 6 months can see black lines at places the old paint meet new paint. Dunno whether true or not.

Outside ketuk shop they want to do more customers business.. thats why only 1/2 day.
Naza.. you know lah.. "these" people are never very efficient in doing their job..

You can easily find those honest shop owners of Car spray and body ketuk ketuk around Pandan Indah industrial area.

They need 2 days because they need to send to ketuk shop and take back later.

If I were you, I will give them back the double wtf cheapo overpriced car worshipper idiot look.
City's acceleration is no better than Myvi 1.3, bumpy and handles like sampan (too much body roll) on curvy road, Vios engine is noisy like Proton Saga carburettor above 80kmph,
Myvi drives like a toy car, eye sore plasticky interior, jiggly and bounces up and down (if your friend likes that kinda ride, he would like
to have gf with big boobs)

I am a Vios (TRD Sportivo 1st batch) owner before as I mentioned, FC is kind to my wallet,
but it gave me terrible engine sore throat noise and lousy refinement for my everyday drive,.. overall space is so tight
which I am kinda embarrassed to fetch my friends (all are 6 foot tall) eventhough they are fine for short journeys
but not outstation journeys.

City, Vios, Myvi certainly shouldn't in comparison with Forte.. Forte wins over them on EVERY ASPECT even cornering stability..
except its FC reading which belongs in C-Segment region.

And I bet you even when Kia Rio launches in M'sia early next year, Kia Rio is still much more outstanding than Myvi, City, Vios in no doubt.

I need some help from the forum. Has anyone replaced their front bumper before? I have a body kit but due to my overly aggressive driving style, it's damaged my front bumper also. So thinking of removing the body kit and replace my front bumper. The front bumper clips at the side have been damaged somewhat.

I'm in the PJ/Damansara area.

If anyone has got contacts and estimated price I would be most grateful. Thanks!

Exterior wise, Forte is a little bit wider than Altis, but about few cm shorter in length..
For interior, Forte is bigger, wider abit, much deep in legroom in front.. seats in Forte much more comfy and bigger and supportive than Altis..
need me to go on somemore.. ?

yours is HU baru or HU lama.. ? if new one I cannot help you..
if it's old HU.. press the AUX button once again if you're in USB pendrive mode.. (make sure your phone are already playing mp3 songs and bluetooth on connected
with the HU)

AUX function will be USB, Mp3 Play (bluetooth streaming) and Ipod.. depends on either one is connected..

If i were trade in the stock 17 inch to 16 inch in tyre shop, how much will the stock 17 inch tyre fetch?

a) connect the cable given and play the song in ipod mode.
b) pair the bluetooth with your car's bluetooth. all sounds from my phone will eventually came out from the car speaker i.e. ringtone, typing sound, mp3 etc etc.

Wah... So cheap... Must have some reason. You have to check by yourself. Ask him show you maintenance record. I dont think it has more accessories or 5 yrs warranty. If your budget is tight, not bad to get it.

nah if under 6 months and pretty much crack not because of stone chip i think you can claim it through SC.

Wah... So cheap... Must have some reason. You have to check by yourself. Ask him show you maintenance record. I dont think it has more accessories or 5 yrs warranty. If your budget is tight, not bad to get it.

Guys, anyone tried downgrading Forte Rim's to 15"??? I'm seriously considering it atm. I'm pretty sure with 17" low profile tyres.. it would only last me a couple of months before i send the rim to workshop for repair. Advise needed!

aiyorrr.. 15" is too kecik miao for Forte lah.. aggresive body styling with "soft shell crab leg" wheels look.. ? you won't gonna do that.. !
the most you can downgrade is 215/55/R16 with Michelin Primacy LC tires.. then its just nice with perfect balance of ride+quiet refinement ride and stable enough on highway
with acceptable exterior overall look.. !

if you wanna "sporty" handling and higher steering precision, it defeats the purpose of installing 16" with higher profile tires..
at least choose a set of dark coloured matte finish 16" rims..

I am currently using stock 17" with Michelin PS3.. loving it although at times road feel coarse abit.. maneuverability is sensitive and predictable
enough for me to confidently corners at sharp curves and brisk overtaking.. and I had crashed on the biggest and deepest jalan berlobang when accidently speeding through speed
hump and thank God, my rims and tires didn't show any sign of damage.. *touch wood touch skin touch metal*

never fix before.. just drive normally and avoid potholes like you should..
17" ride can be abit unpleasant for some ppl who wish for cushy ride, hence little too firm ride isn't
suitable for middle to senior aged drivers and passengers..

16" is just nice.. car still stable enough and able to soak up bumps and road irregularities smoothly without noticing much..

Hi guys,

I'm expecting a new Clear White Forte soon. All loan & payment issues done, just waiting for registration and tint job. SA said probably end of next week.

I've been reading in & out about car coating. I guess it would be wise for me to coat my car since it's white in color.

This will be my first car. I'm a little noob on this side of the world. I just know what coating does but I don't know a lot of things related to coating.

I've asked around, and I found that an average coating job costs around RM 2k++. I don't know what brand or what type of coating though.

And then I stumbled upon the Sierra Glow thread. If I read it right, the job costs around Rm 700, yes? If this is true, then I'll probably opt for this one. But I still want to know more about coating.

Could someone explain to me the basic knowledge one should know about coating? Things like coating types, pricing, brands, maintenance etc.

And please also tell me more about SG. Any reason it is much cheaper than what people have told me on other brands?

Thanks!

Hehe never thought of PPS or SG, I've been using quick detailer product for quite sometime:

Recently just change to meguiars.. previously using turtle wax tongue.gif much cheaper.

http://www.meguiars.com.my/product/514 - currently testing it out for my mothers brand new SAGA SE.. awesome outcome..

Once done continue with..
http://www.meguiars.com.my/product/218

Previously i was using turtle wax quick spray on.. What i did everytime is after i wash my car at some anneh shop.. the moment i reach home, i will spray the quick wax on my car.. of course front hood can only spray on the next day. Paint after 5 years is so far so good. Of course you can opt for professional car wash which most likely could reduce the swirl mark stain...

I still think after quite sometime driving a car, your car will still need the good old fashion polishing.. then follow by buffing and waxing..

Yea...buy car with a lot of money. Would want to take care of it.
I've seen other brands also white color become yellowish. Probably lack proper care.

Still...better safe than sorry.

I got 2 cars viva white and forte white, viva without coating forte with coating, my experience with coating is a good 1, if you ask me coating can protect color or not, my answer is a big YES. Very happy with the coating no wax no polish anymore smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif

Today took one of my car in supwave setia alam for washing their package for polish and coating is pretty affordable. There is 318 and 458... 6 months warranty though? Pps coating? For the 458.. there are other quoting as expensive as rm29xx...

SA also wanna untung abit extra for extra service. You can ask Mr Choong at sierraglow.com for quote you the reasonable price before commit to anyone and any product. No harm trying and nothing to lose if you ask around.

The answer is you go to do coating yourself instead of let ur SA do it for you.
For me I let my SA do it for me and he charge me very cheap only cool2.gif

There is already a K3 in Malaysia....JUST ONE unit in WHOLE malaysia but i missed the chance to see the prototype (they store it back into the warehouse)....its currently 'camouflage' and its LEFT hand drive....

KIA/NAZA want the case to test drive around Malaysia for 10-20K KM...then they will replicate the unit and convert it to RIGHT hand drive.......

Was told cabin size is smaller then Forte and its DOESN"T look like K5 at all.....engine for now is 1.6 only....

There will be also K5 Hybrid (LEFT hand drive model) already in Malaysia for test < this one more units.....

Awesome service from Motorman aka Edwin Loh again!

Booked my ride from him 2 weeks ago. Everything was done through phone, sms and private message. Car buying can be done online with Motorman now. laugh.gif

The surprising part was I never expected to be able to pick up my car late in the evening. I told Edwin that I will arrive at Puduraya (by bus) at 7PM; without hesitating much, Edwin told me to take Star LRT from the Rakyat station to Sri Petaling. When I arrived at Sri Petaling it was already 8.30 something. Edwin came and we reached his showroom at about 9PM.
Who the heck works at 9PM? laugh.gif

We spent about an hour going through legal stuff and he introduced me to the car, checklists, features, etc etc etc etc. Not the simply go through kind but the really detailed kind.

It did not stop here, I told him I am heading to Kuchai Lama after that and he even offered to lead me out of Sri Kembangan and gave me a call before the turning out to Kuchai Lama.

All in all everything was great. Thanks Motorman! This will be an unforgettable first car buying experience! thumbup.gif

(BTW Still have no idea how to use the AUX in the system, anybody can give a pointer here would be great)

The staff at Naza Branch told me if wanna do alignment for free must do it before 5000km..
if after first service and do the balancing/ alignment and still cannot fix it.. i suggest any of you try go to other SC to fix it...
i've got this problem and sent to 2 SC.. but still have the issue...
last friday sent to one SC... quite big..
but so dumb mechanic, after do the alignment on the computer.. another problem occur...

guys, need help.. not sure if i'm the first owner had this problem or someone else already had this..

the motor driven steering wheel (2.0 sx) should have a very- very light steering to manuover during parking/ stop am i right?
now my steering feels so heavy even when the car stop...
any of you had a same problem and fixed it already?
any Service Center owner in this forumn please advise also.

ohic.... i think it's the 1.6SX spec so called Special Edition. smile.gif i saw that car before.
don't order that one.. It's nothing special + abit ugly for that modification.
Especially that Back tail lamp - cleared type one..

I would recommend you to take 2.0SX if you like leather seats. smile.gif

Don't think they will state in the agreement for these two items.
If the SC has selling these two items i believe it won't void your warranty.

It's happened to my myvi. i changed 3rd party air filter and iridium spark plugs from outside as i know Perodua would ask us to change it at 40,000km for normal spark plugs cost around RM40-80 which i just bought the iridium spark plugs at RM140 only.
but as i know they are selling the iridium spark plugs as well. So it's nothing wrong changing spark plugs at outside.

What would air filter cause? i believe make the air flow smoother.

correct me if i'm wrong.. smile.gif

Oh ya...wanna ask is this statement true ?

1. First service 1K
2. Subsquent service is 10K and 20K BUT 10K and 20K service need to do EVERY 6 months time regardless you touch the mileage or not.

In short every 6 months you need to sent in for service to maintain your 5 years warranty ??

Like that if i am low usage user...in 6 month only touch 1-2K km ....still need to sent into service ? Like that waste the Rm2xx Full Sync engine oil ???

Hi,
does anyone face any similar issue on the DVD Navi? My 4 months old forte is having this hang issue on the DVD navi and below are some of the captured images. once the DVD-Navi is hang then only force restart the DVD-Navi in order to solve the issue.

Any idea is it due to cable connection issue or the whole DVD-Navi has to be replaced?

Awesome service from Motorman aka Edwin Loh again!

Booked my ride from him 2 weeks ago. Everything was done through phone, sms and private message. Car buying can be done online with Motorman now. laugh.gif

The surprising part was I never expected to be able to pick up my car late in the evening. I told Edwin that I will arrive at Puduraya (by bus) at 7PM; without hesitating much, Edwin told me to take Star LRT from the Rakyat station to Sri Petaling. When I arrived at Sri Petaling it was already 8.30 something. Edwin came and we reached his showroom at about 9PM.
Who the heck works at 9PM? laugh.gif

We spent about an hour going through legal stuff and he introduced me to the car, checklists, features, etc etc etc etc. Not the simply go through kind but the really detailed kind.

It did not stop here, I told him I am heading to Kuchai Lama after that and he even offered to lead me out of Sri Kembangan and gave me a call before the turning out to Kuchai Lama.

All in all everything was great. Thanks Motorman! This will be an unforgettable first car buying experience! thumbup.gif

(BTW Still have no idea how to use the AUX in the system, anybody can give a pointer here would be great)

How come? If semi-sync, you have to go back in 3months, if full-sync you have to go back in 6months. they dont care if you drive less than 5K or 10K mileage. The SC told me once you use the engine oil, the oil will change to bad quality even you dont drive frquently and that's the reason you have to change within 3 or 6 months.

yup, oil quality will degrade

semi syn 5K mileage or 3 months
fully syn 10K mileage or 6 months

whichever come first

so better use fully syn, since the total service amount you pay by time are cheaper and suppose to be better in quality if compared.

Can you describe how poor it is? I just got mine yesterday. Didn't notice this problem. Either it's actually fine or I'm not attentive enough. Because I've heard a lot complaints before regarding poor reception with the HU.

I'd suggest you PM Motorman. His showroom is in Seri Kembangan. If you feel that's not too far from you. Great offer and service from him.

yup, oil quality will degrade

semi syn 5K mileage or 3 months
fully syn 10K mileage or 6 months

whichever come first

so better use fully syn, since the total service amount you pay by time are cheaper and suppose to be better in quality if compared.

yes.. i agree with your point ! nod.gif

How come? If semi-sync, you have to go back in 3months, if full-sync you have to go back in 6months. they dont care if you drive less than 5K or 10K mileage. The SC told me once you use the engine oil, the oil will change to bad quality even you dont drive frquently and that's the reason you have to change within 3 or 6 months.
*
Thats why bro i use semi syn instead of fully syn. in 3 months i cannot reach 5k interval, if i opt for fully syn in 6 months totally impossible. Totally wasted for me to use fully syn.

Yup agreed with your point, but another point is regardless fully or semi if u change ur oil ontime whether by km or months its still good for ur engine.

to those who install door led light, pls double check;
when u TURN OFF the engine. close all door and chk the led. (u need to stay in car a bit longer...and do this at night.)
at 1st, the led will totally off, but after some times, few seconds, it will turn back on (dim light only)
my concern is whether the battery life cepat habis... sad.gif

after driving mine for almost half a year now i gotta agree that stock forte handling is just so so. the suspension is abit too soft to my liking. & the bodyroll is just too severe. the 2.0 engine also doesn't feel like a 2.0 engine. other than that the rest is all good. biggrin.gif

I would think the SEAT is too soft....and if they make seat as hard like CRV you will feel very bumpy....need to compromise the stock spring and suspension...to me its good enough to pek corner, maybe the rim just bit overweight....

Hi bro,
Lets do the calculation in this way.
Semi 3months/5k km RM150
Full 6months/10k km RM200

I don't get the point of why you wants to go for semi as 2 x semi = 1 x full.
Correct me if I am wrong.

hehe yes visit more, pay more no doubt about it. dont get me wrong here. what im trying to say is feel wasted for not fully utilizing the fully syn oil due to my low usage. for user like me got no option if wanna keep the warranty coz dont have guts yet to DIY like few members in MFC. It seems fully syn is the best option here. Thanks guy.

Nope..not all. Mostly the CBU unit coming from the first batch of Forte 1.6 & 2.0. Not sure the actual figure though..just a few hundreds only if i'm not mistaken. U can recognise a CBU Forte by looking at the chassis number (located at a left lower part of the front windshield). If the chassis number starts with letter 'K' (written in white with black background), it is a CBU Forte. If the letter starts with 'P' (written in black with white background), it is a CKD unit nod.gif

Too early for Type Approval. Proton brought in a lot of cars for their R&D. This Astra is an example:

Good spot, in that case maybe they are doing technical testing here. Don't think there is any RHD market got the car already.

The Korean market vehicle wears a 1.6 litre direct-injected four-cylinder delivering 138 hp and 167 Nm of torque – guess we’ll have to wait and see what our new Forte will have.

it is more to crystal yellow instead of the stock thick yellow.
if you want something special then the ori stock yellow and yet want to play safe to get any trouble from the cops. maybe can consider this smile.gif

i never took a photo when i had the bulb ON biggrin.gif cause i really seldom open fog light. sorry for not able to provide a photo.

for most 3 days driving my new 1.6 forte..i just feel the prob that most of our member's faced;

1) >100km/h can feel vibration on the steering.
2) pull left steering.
3) radio high and low intermittece sound.
4) brake pad noise due to new pad ( i think so..shud be no prob)

for 1,2 i know this can be settle during my 1st service at SC. for no 3 need to go to change the HU at galaxy (as my friend also went there to change the new HU). mellow.gif

Mine is on 3rd day also.

1) Only starts to vibrate >120km/h
2) Yup, got this too.
3) Different station sometimes has different volume coming out.
4) No.

But I notice the air-cond takes time to cool. Sometimes up to 10 mins if in hot afternoon. Is this normal?

BTW guys, should I break-in my forte?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break-in_(mechanical_run-in)

I also have
- slight turn to the left due to alignment problem
- air noise coming from the driver area (how to isolate them?)

Don't feel vibration at 120 though, probably never reach 120 before.

but so dumb mechanic, after do the alignment on the computer.. another problem occur...

the motor driven steering wheel (2.0 sx) should have a very- very light steering to manuover during parking/ stop am i right?
now my steering feels so heavy even when the car stop...
any of you had a same problem and fixed it already?
any Service Center owner in this forumn please advise also.

Depends. Mine sounds like some metal hitting each other.. But the sound only appears if you open the front left door while closing the rear left door rclxub.gif

and I have to admit, all my 4 doors have different kind of "thud" sounds whistling.gif

BTW guys, should I break-in my forte?

I also have
- slight turn to the left due to alignment problem
- air noise coming from the driver area (how to isolate them?)

Don't feel vibration at 120 though, probably never reach 120 before.

i think wind noise can be reduced by install those big D small D rubber

I believe that it is our responsiblity to wear the seatbelt each time we drive our cars. So whether the Forte should or should not have the seatbelt warning light/buzzer is irrelevant, at least for me. I also strongly believe that for some people who doesn't like to wear the seatbelt while driving (especially on short trip) will prefer the current setup.

Actually i prefer the current setup too (no seatbelt warning light/buzzer if we did not wear the seat belt). I took my own case for example when i drive my wife's Preve. Sometime i wanna bring my children pusing2 the residential area or go to the nearby playground by driving the Preve. I found out that it is quite annoying when the seatbelt buzzer sounds. Not that i dont want to wear the seatbelt, but for that very short & slow journey in the residential road, for me it is more convinience not to wear the seatbelt icon_rolleyes.gif

Hi, just got my white 1.6 sx forte yesterday...i have a few questions to ask...

1. got the fog inside the headlamp and they say it's normal, gone this morning but now the fog come again...is it really normal?will it make the headlamp become yellowish later?
2. the steering is heavier than the test drive unit...the test drive unit is also 1.6 sx...i know it should not be as light as 2.0 unit...but i can feel the different...what should i do?
3. don't know the correct term...the "air ekon" dropping really fast...like a pee...normal?
4. how do i select radio frequency and set to selection box...box no 1 for example...i can find how to delete only...but don't know how to add back...
5. a bit confused with central door lock, it only lock for people from opening the door from the outside...but from inside, we can open door without unlocking...

TQ smile.gif

4) Dunno, i'm using first batch 6 speed stock HU...
5) Yes, from inside front two doors can open as they please even if the door is locked and even if the car is moving..claim is for emergency purpose just in case lock mechanism fail...
