  HELP 

My car got small cockroach, damn it. Don't know how it comes in. Anyone deal with this before? 

Another question is, I realized that the gear can be shifted even though I did not press the switch. Then what is the function of the switch? 

Me wanna know bout single n super 'mercun' differences too. Wait bro v12 pm me.

I bought the normal version from V12 3 months back.
You can feel the change in performance directly.
This will help in solving the common issue where Forte is crawling slow in first 2 gear.
For me, it is quick worthwhile to buy that.
But for me, normal version is sufficient for Forte.
Super version is about double the price, so if you are rich, you can go ahead for super version.

my personal testing and survey confirmed BHP got best balance of strongest/quickest acceleration response and smoothness with engine quietness, but slightly higher FC than Petronas. Caltex and Shell gave me poor FC, sluggish power and loud engine noise when accelerating.. (Forte, Vios, M5, Corolla Altis, Focus, Golf GTI, Estima)

so, let's boycott Caltex and Cap Kerang togeder-geder

I heard that It will be reducing import tax for japan and Austria cars soon? Is it real?? If the both these countries import cars are reducing the import tax.. meaning that Korean and other countries cars price will be reduce also? (because they want to fight with their competitors).. Is above statements are right?

Morning world. Another day... Midweek. How has your forte been treating you? Mine gave me a surprise this morning. It came out error message "steering not locked" and won't start when I press push start this morning. Then I try again, ok already. Weirdness.

This issue is being explained in the users manual & can easily been solved if we notice the error message on the supervision cluster before u going out of the car. It's due to certain steering position that unalign with the auto steering lock mechanism. This should not happen if we keep the steering in normal straight position when we turn off the engine. It's not a problem by any means & very rarely happens

hi guys....silly question here...i have a 2.0 6 speed forte....2 years old

yesterday on NS highway a honda city (current gen) was beind me and after letting him pass i had a hard time trying to keep up with him...
seems like the honda city was very fast.... i was doing about 160-170 and he was still pushing forward like a real sports car

anything wrong with my car?
also anybody know the curb weight of the 2.0?

honday city's curb weight is 1,140 kg (from official website) so now i am wondering is it because my car is extra heavy?
   

because he's running at 180...u at 170....
and yes...our car is bit heavy. 

on what reason u risking your life to go that fast bro? 

My new forte seem has some few problem, properly some minor defect

1. Car boot lever not working, remote control is fine
2. No seat belt warning when I did not fasten my seat belt
3. Back seat can't click back after fold down
4. Aux not working with my phone

Not sure if anyone encounter the same...

to avoid our Forte too advance.. ?? huh ?

Mine is 2.0... X working... Will chi with sc tmr..

if I were you, I will not say to avoid our Forte too advance. Simply irrelevant.

Naza Kia omitted this feature because they understood that majority Malaysian will ignore the seatbelt warningsign. And also they won't appreciate the warning chime sound keep bothering the users and in the end customers will bring back to SC to disable the audible seatbelt warning chime.

As for the Optima K5, Kia engineers in Korea made the chime sounds much more pleasant than our current Forte. Naza Kia decided not to alter anything in K5 since it's CBU unit from Korea but our Forte is CKD made so they can not include the seatbelt warning since not many Malaysians will appreciate it.

Whether you agree or not, it is mentioned like that from some local automotive magazines back few years ago. Not that I am so free to reka cerita.

Waja in Y2K era till it's end of their life-cycle does have the warning seatbelt sign too if observe carefully on instrument cluster. And it is non-functional too like Malaysia assembled Forte.

Read again at my extended post above. I am also talking based on experience and logic.

PS: I owned Vios 2009 and it has very annoying beep beep beep sound and after 30 seconds it will continues beep faster until the driver fedup while just driving around parking lot looking for carpark. And UMW Toyota SC said many Vios customers requested to gunting the seatbelt buzzer chime. True Story.

I got my car from edwin too last 2 months. My odo at that time around 30km+. Hw much did u add ur money for tinted?
