hi guys, i'm looking for used car, and i found a forte 1.6, 2011 model for 48.8K (mileage 52,000KM).
wonder if this is a good deal?
before I proceed to view and test drive, anything i need to aware for a used forte?

this is the first time I buy car, your comment and feedback is highly appreciated

Just bring an experienced friend to test drive the car with you.

Get some history of the car and the maintenance log or service booklet.

48.8k? SX or EX? Mileage is pretty for a 3-year car.

Back from 70k km service. Not a major service.

wow, if 48.8k for 1.6. then 2.0 2011 should be 60 k only. i got offfered 64k man. i guess mine was overpriced?

80k km is a major service...

it's an EX, 48.8k is the offered price.
thanks for the advise

that one is EX, u got offered for 2.0 SX?

AUDIO QUALITY IMPROVEMENT BY OVERSEAS FORUMER:
ANYONE TRIED THIS? MIND TO SHARE THE RESULT?

but even before doing that, since you have the Touring and I do too, I was able to improve by 100x the sound quality going in the developper menu and setting the DSP to Flat ON.

Steps:
Press Nav + Menu + Back 3 seconds
The 2 screens will display debug menus you should not have access normally
Press return on the touch screen one (you don't need it)
Press Menu for 3 seconds
You will be in the developer menu
Scroll down to DSP/AMP settings
Scroll to 'Flat' set it to 'On'
Enjoy!

I driving forte 1.6SX and i just change my tyre to Michelin PS3. I'm very satisfied, very smooth and reduce the tyre noise. Anyhow i still not satisfied with the noise from the motorcycle and lorry. Is there anyway to reduce the noise in the car?

Like us on fb , get all 4 doors sound proof, 2 layers , first sound damping than add on sound insulation , prices from rm 688 depending on ur sound damping 012 710 7917

Sapa kata KIA spare part mahai...


Attached thumbnail(s)

There is no way to 'greatly' improve Forte sound proof. There are member what paid for hundred and thousand buck, ended up get minimal result..one of the 'cheap' way of doing it is check on Garage Sales section look for '3M sound proof door seal'...

Can you share the source of tis information.

Literally copy paste frm this thread Accord forum

http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/showthre...=Improve+stereo

Did try but didnt works frm the description step by step. I dont think our unit same type with Accord

Frm the same forum they mention this too

On non navi you press: Power + Disp + Back instead of Nav + Menu + Back

No not for touring only

Update: non-nav + upper display, if the previous didn't work try with VOL + DISP + BACK, having the radio powered on
