Whoa this group has ALOT of posts ......
I'm a brand new Kia Forte 1.6sx titanium grey owner ! I had originally planned to wait until the k3 is launched in malaysia but can't wait any longer plus the k3 will definitely be over my budget which is below rm90k
I have yet to go for my first service, so far everything is good, just I'm feeling alot of bumpiness while driving...maybe cuz of bad Malaysian roads... Is this normal?
Loving the features of the car , the touch screen HU is kinda buggy with sound from cd and radio sometimes cutting off randomly....
Is there anyway to update the main HU so version ? And I can't seem to register my speednavi on the website because I don't have the serial key.... It's not listed in the manual .....

If radio sometimes cutting off on certain area, then I think should be find. But you can check with SC since everything is under warranty.

The serial key should get from your SA.

Question here. KIA Cerato (K3) will be released this coming July 2013. Is that mean The Forte will be totally obsoleted and no more in production line?

If you know good mechanic then OK. I sent my wife myvi to outside mechanic. They are just rojak simply pasang cap ayam brand spart parts and gave me problem. Of course cheaper. Later, end up I have to send back to perodua and fix everything. RM100-200 more expensive but give me rest in peace.

Not really, KIA has bad record in the past so it is not weird if people worry on it.
Other manufacturer keep the record good therefore no worry.

Anyhow, worry is useless now but just for discussion purpose.

I believe K3 Cerato still will have some parts same as current Forte. This happened everywhere. The Samsung LCD/LED overtook Panasonic / National TV 7 or 8 years ago, the Samsung, HTC, iPhone mobile phone overtook the Nokia, Sony Erricson as well.
Therefore doesn't mean today you own something big in quantity you will not have problem in next 5-10 yrs down the road.

The Forte still have 5 yrs warranty. Do you think KIA stupid enough to create spare parts totally new for K3 Cerato? All spare parts will be share share use by different model. This is nature of business.

hmm.. mine can go only about 310km before fuel blink, fill petrol not full, about RM80, 100% city drive, below 100km/h, rpm below 3k, about 13-14litre/100km, definitely not normal right?

drive this car need to be polite. RPM keep 2k enough. Don't press hard on fuel pad when start from stop point. I drive like very polite lady. You can see my FC as from my signature.
