Agree with what you said bro. I have the same feeling too.
I just got a new information from SA, said that 2013 forte have Day-time Running Light(DRL) version.
asking me to wait for the latest model. Price still the same and have special offer as well, kind of tempting
Yesterday was doing research for the hyundai elantra 1.6 HS. Any idea about the elantra bro?
I just like the outlook for the elantra but expensive 10k+. I like the red color so much!! LOLX

haha i love sun-roof as well!! But long neck to wait for the K3.
I believe the k3 pricing will be at 115k, possible?

Anyone here is a red forte owner? I just love RED only.

K3 look like elantra tho. Wait for CBU la. Mid 2013 i think

Bro epo 4speed CBU red colour. Ask him la if want to sell

just try my luck here, any FORTE KOUP owner wanna let go their babies?I'm looking for used FORTE KOUP...pls PM me if you saw any used FORTE KOUP for sell also...location KL and Selangor...tqtq

Elantra 1.6 HS is about 98k right ? why go for 1.6 engine where such price can get Forte 2.0 ?
Driven only Elantra 1.8 for a day, torque not as strong as Forte 2.0 to play around especially Elantra's acceleration
has laggy feel to it after making U-turns under the flyover.. gear change seemed to be sluggish than Forte 1.6 and 2.0 too.. bodyroll abit
bouncy and soft side.. handling and steering response is same as Forte 2.0 but it seemed Forte 2.0 got more effortless / lighter
steering.. in the end I didn't feel impressed because the driving experience is just like typical normal sedan. No special characteristic except
its outlook design..
but then I am not sure about comparison between Elantra 1.6 and Forte 1.6..

You can consider it if you can spend 98k for Elantra just because of its special looks but don't care about limited max torque and hp and engine cc. Pls test drive it
and also at least 4 different cars and brand first.. don't buy anything without test driving

My personal opinion is Forte 1.6SX is just good enough for most people expectation, reasonable price, up-to-date features (except Forte using CVVT and Elantra using D-CVVT engine)
The money is yours, calculate and forecast yourself on the money you gonna spend now and then for your car to maintain.. ask yourself which car gave
you the best / most enjoyable feeling that you've selected and test driven.. sometimes our words could be difficult to convey the message of whatever suits you..
Best way that you keep test driving every cars of other brands to furnish yourself what's the current trend of automotive driving dynamics and technology..
No need to scared to yell inside any car showrooms "I WANT TO TEST DRIVE" because they won't kill the walk-in customers and it's FREE of charge to test drive..
They are more than happy to let you test drive because they need more consumers to experience their updated products. Automotive world nowadays have stiff competition
with each other and everyone is making good products (except Proton and Perodua).. try them.. !!

abang ddsu.. you still haven't answer my previous question of "curiosity"..

SC got open or not tomorrow? Wanna hantar servis.. Now 1314km edi..

ANYTHING that is OUT of the default SPECIFICATION have high chance of voiding ur warranty...etc. Rim from 17" to 16" or wise versa ok YET they can find 101 reason void your warranty....

buka since wednesday la wei ...

Hahaha okay will go SC tomorrow for my first service

Ade sape2 nk folo?

before u go there call that SC first at 8:40am tanya full house or not.. if she said boleh datang then buat appointment 10am to avoid any disappointment

sked ppl after cuti outstation everyone sebok mau pergi service jer..

Really stupid la naza..last time i changed my myvi from 14"to 17" also no problem on the warranty.

yup, 98k for elantra. Thanks for your great comment, quite neutral but i believe forte is much more reasonable price with those spec.
People way saying k3 is coming soon, but i don't think will come in so early this year, because the Rio just launch only.
another question, lets say if finally i choose the forte 1.6 sx, and i hope to add nice body kit, upgrade sport rim, led light, how much i should prepare to spend for it? I am not so sure for the price. And is it any recommended shop to do MOD for forte?

Six months ago when I bought Forte 1.6SX, I got few K discount depends on how you deal with the SA. Not sure if they still have such offer. Some SA will install body kit for you FOC. I asked for no bodykit and they rebated me extra RM900-1K. Not sure about LED light, that may void the warranty. You may want to change tyre immediately because the stock tyre very noisy. With immediate trade-in, I know you can get back RM200 per tyre. You may want to prepare 1K for sport rim after trade-in the stock rim. Get the good rim like Lenso, Advanti Racing, Konig with the price RM1500 - RM2000.

So, I guess you may want to prepare extra 2K for new rim and new tyres like Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2, Michelin PS3 or Primacy LC, Bridgestone.

hard to say because everyone receives and layan different types of poison.. u won't know what gadgets u will interested to install in the end.. so far upgrade tires, rims, DRL, tinting, carpet coilmat, new wipers and all window coating costs me about total RM5.8k..

K3.. ? be prepared to wait till mid of 2014 the latest.. new cars competition will be much more interesting in 2014 with all the jaw dropping technology and features convenience.. are you willing to wait.. ?
