I'm looking to purchase a used Kia Forte 1.6SX very soon  rclxms.gif . Should there be anything I must look out for when inspecting the car hmm.gif ? Will of course bring along a foreman with me to check but I hope to be able to pin point the problems on my own just in case.

Of most reviews I've read so far, nothing states out of the ordinary. To all Kia Forte owners, your input will be much appreciated.  thumbup.gif

Forte is my choice compared to the City & Vios.

Thanks!

i can't think of one, common issues are

dashboard rattling noise (kia sc but not permanent, many will just ignore it)
door panel rattling noise (kia sc but not permanent, many will just ignore it)
pull left issue (kia sc)
a bit sluggish in 1st-2nd-3rd gear (update ECU / install firestorm)
a little lag on the pedal when u press especially from standstill (install ETC can solve)

and the biggest problem is

Kia website doesn't provide any info regarding build in GPS. the info provided is oni Intergrated Audio System with CD Player /MP3/USB/iPod Connectivity with 6 Speakers.
*
Website sometime got error, one of the biggest error is that it stated 1.6sx come with 6 airbags, in fact it is only 2 airbags

As for the gps, u can put in papago if u don't like the speednavi tongue.gif

Ya. Agree. Apparently buying/ spending/ maintaining a car is more expensive than a wife in a long run of 7 years. So new car, any one?

Car and wife will never get along.

Coz car is like second wife , how can two wives get along tongue.gif

Planning to change my oem forte rims to a sporty aftermarket rim of same size(17"). Will this void my warranty?

I'm not sure if there's an absolute answer for your question, but I can share my experience and u can judge from there

I traded in the stock 17" rims and tires to 16" about one or two weeks after I got my new forte, after my car due for 1k first service, I sent to sc for service and in additional I ask them to do alignment coz my car has pull left issue, they did the job without questioning my new rims.
