Even with the Kia Cerato launching I still receive many booking for Forte. It is value for money and the most affordable segment C car to own. Looking at the respond I believe many people will be hunting for 2nd hand Forte when the current Forte stock is finish.

Hey edwin. Long time no see
Going to ur sc for 10k service this week...
Buzy with the brand new cerato yah?

Bro, try reading up on ACHILLES Tyres.
I must be honest and admit that I've not used them before, but based on reviews (online and from my friend whom drives a 328 with it), it seems to be the most impresseve tyre for its price range.

Here's the company's Malaysian webpage for your convenience:

PS - Pls don't shoot me if the availability of these tyres are limited due to the lack of popularity (maybe not because they aren't good, but yet to be famous).

yokohama advan db v551 mahal?

Think >RM400+?

curious... anybody redline their rpm before?

Got my new baby titanium silver forte today from Mr.Edwin..
He is a superb nice guy,funny n friendly..most of all he is so prompt on my loan ooo..
Highly Recomended to others who are trying to get a new Kia car, have a try on Mr.Edwin..

Applaud

can anyone tell me how long does the 1k checkup take? I'm wondering whether I have to leave the car at the SC or if I can just sit around and wait for it to finish?

Once a day, for the thrill of it

put into manual, rev every single gear to max until it changed itself.... once in a while.. i let my engine roarrrrr

Thanks bro. I have looked into Achilles ATR Sport 2. The price is like 250. I have no experience nor any one I know of is using Achilles. If it is really that good with the given price, I will be very glad to try it out. I will just need more testimonial. Maybe I really need to read up online. performance can be superb with a lower price. Forte has proven that.

lol will try.....

the new k3 looks like very good

U mean inside or outside ?

although the features provided are better than the same segment vehicles, I think its priced quite high with about 17-20% hike from the current Forte... nonetheless, our Forte is really a good buy and I'm lovin it

You're right. They're trying to position themselves since the launch of RIO. Matching Hyundai, since they're of the same parent company. In fact, K3 is using Elantra's base.

Most of the specs are of luxury / premium which I *think*, not needed anyway in our everyday's life.

But, of course, it is handsome. haha

Agree, a new benchmark for c segmet, according to KIA

Well, of course for those who can afford and are buying a new car, they will deem Forte as outdated and the new luxurious spec and base is more premium. The more premium the better. Who doesn't want that? Human nature. It just comes with a price tag.

"Most of the specs are of luxury / premium which I *think*, not needed anyway in our everyday's life" sounded like a sour grape to some. All of us (I am generalising) will want that some where in our heart (including myself) at the same price. The only consolation is that the price is 14k to 21k higher for the 'premium'. Else we will be kicking ourselves/ myself for those who has bought the car 1 month ago. I will be the first to admit that I will bang myself to the wall very very for not waiting for another 4 months to get the new car, IF the price range is the same.
