Any Kia dealer would have test drive for 1.6sx...if you want test drive 2.0sx or even KOUP, only is Bangsar (they open till 9pm i think)

I see...so for k5 also at bangsar can test drive?

P/S - Btw, PJ is nearer than Melaka so much more bro. Only difference is, takde Amoi yet..for now. But I strongly believe that with your 'leng chai'ness, Amoi will come automatically one brows.gif
I think it's a little tough to find a used 2011 Forte for sale. Not impossible, but pretty rare.
Try searching for the ones which are 2010 (CBU or CKD - 4 speed)
Price ranges from late 50K to mid 60K, as per my used car dealer friend 3months ago.

Alright thanks for the info.
but I hope I can't find a 2011 forte.
maybe in half a year baru can get it lol.
or else I may consider about koup hehe

just get a brand new unit la....that 10-15K different won't save alot as you will have NO WORRIES in the next 5 years within warranty period.... doh.gif  thumbup.gif  sweat.gif

Totally agree bro!
I also thinking 10-15k is not a big different with 2nd hand car. Will consider about new car.
So 1.6 or 2.0? but mostly i am city drive. Stay at KL. FC is part of my considering

yup...i think so. So far you are driving 1.6?
not worth to get a 2nd hand right? because the price like still quite high. around 60-70k la.

Just get a brand new 1.6sx. Its in between 1.6EX and 2.0SX...if 9 years i think interest rate u can get 1.6x%
Will not but your car will be 'lift up further from the ground...UNLESS you lower ur spring and get a stiffer suspension.....

cool...

will you recommend i take the koup if i have budget? because the first car i fall in love is the koup.
But because of budget problem now, so not getting it but thinking get the forte only. save 30k and maybe can use to upgrade my car.
But i just love koup frame-less mirror , sun roof, leather seat, rim, sporty and 2 door. cry.gif

If you have budget constraint, you need to ADJUST it accordingly...for me if youngster or couple, KOUP would be good but if you are family person or wanna carry parent/friends all time, KOUP might not be suitable as ppl need to climb in and out...

Some ppl call coupe as 'stingy' car  brows.gif  as typically you only carry yourself and another passenger...rear seat is kinda of 'display' only tongue.gif....

I seriously wonder with Malaysia CLIMATE WHY the heck ppl need sun/moon roof ? After year of hotsun exposure, maybe your rubber start hardening and LEAKING when raining.....lain lain all can do in accesorries la...
bottomline - ADJUST your NEEDS according to budget....

** I also like alot of cars but pocket disallow + DOES IT REALLY apply to your DAILY practical use ??? (Ask this question to yourself, one time cannot answer, ask until you get the answer ! )  sweat.gif

Great comment from you bro. I like the "DAILY practical use" & " better get a good hifi and aircond in my home" lol.
sun roof just an additional thing to show off only lol.

you know what I felt when I taken Forte 2.0 instead of Forte Koup after 3 months.. I regretted sad.gif
my initial 1st choice was Mazda 3, 2nd choice was Forte Koup, 3rd Honda CR-Z, 4th Kia Sportage..

ended up Forte 2.0 because Sedan and Koup has the same engine and power output, also features of the interior (difference is only speaker mood lighting, no reverse camera ?)
and its about 20k price difference for brand new..

somehow for now I am already much regretted which I had decided on the lower price factor over the style factor..
everytime the koup passes by me,.. it kills me  cry.gif
so, take your time to think whether you're still going for that koup or normal Forte sedan..
*
you totally have the same choice with me at first except the Kia sportage.
I am quite worry i will have the same feeling with you which is "everytime the koup passes by me,.. it kills me cry.gif "
But in KL area, i only saw 2 times otr for koup.
price factor VS style factor, really confusing me.
But in fact my dream car is the Peugeot RCZ icon_rolleyes.gif
I am considering for koup because i always drive alone and my family all have their own car already. I am not taking them all the time.
So koup i am quite puas hati la lolx.
honda crz i am not considering anymore because of the style is not suitable for me to meet client.

to be honest Honda CR-Z is an overall better car to drive in terms of overall ergonomics, quality built and handling.. just that the smaller size will make other ppl impression of "aiya that felle driving small car jek.."

Forte Koup has aggressive styling and sport car look but sadly engine is just a normal N/A 2.0 even Sportage has DCVVT 166hp vs Forte Koup 2.0 CVVT 156hp which ada gaya tapi tak laju.. thus I thought of save the 20k for smth else and get Forte 2.0 sedan which basically everything the same except numbers of doors except Koup is CBU from Korea..

damn buying car is only once in every 5-7 yrs.. regretted gila babi when seeing Forte Koup park at shopping mall car park with stylish and lots of substance look.. I felt that for my age I should've bought a 2 door car coupe (except satria neo) because I rarely fetch more than 2 person for 8 yrs of driving and I've changed 4 cars before all also with 4 doors.. but why am I buying the same 4 door again which all of my family members got their own ride also got an MPV which seldom use.. ? haiz regret regret regret..

by then when I'm switching for a next car years later I think I might be too old for 2 door coupe already.. sad..
*
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 icon_idea.gif
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
