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?
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.
