Mine is the facelifted current model, doubt you will get a used one at this point, yes, I bought new.

FC appears to be comparable to my previous 1.6 4-speed, but I will have a better idea in a few months. The new car has 3 modes - normal, sports and eco, so if FC is important, you know what to opt for...

Ride is comfortable, and the steering is effortless (since it is electronic, unlike the motor-assisted previous one)

Let me run in the first 1,000km before I gun the gas, haha...

No, it is already sold out and no plans to bring in new stock either. Can you consider the Cerato facelift 2.0 instead?

So I got my Cerato 2.0 a week ago. My previous Forte 1.6SX seems almost basic in features in comparison, although I know the Forte broke new ground when it first came out. Enjoying my Cerato drive so far, going to get window tint done next week and after that, hopefully can find a decently priced detailing/coating service.

Not always, it depends on the body color of your car. For temptation red, the sensors are black.

For Raya (June) promotion, there is a very special deal the offer ends on 30th June 2017 (this Friday), there is only 3 working days left to process your loan application and to register the car before the said dateline.

1. Some years ago, i walked into a Mazda showroom and the salesman behaved like a total dickhead. Left a lasting impression. So Mazda wasn't my choice. My friend had the older Mazda 3... he said getting it in for service required booking well ahead.

2. Problem-free Kia Forte and hassle-free after-sales service before this. Important for me. So went with the devil I know.

3. Kia offer for 2.0 was damn good. And I know how their system works. From service to parts.

I tested the Cerato, Hyundai Ionic and VW Jetta.

I'm in my 50s and with a hectic schedule. Don't want unscheduled visits to service centers.

So that's why.

When I'm retired, I may be more adventurous!

Do not know exactly why, however, the black sensors on red body does not look awkward as black is a neutral color, so it is not much of an issue I guess.

Those are good reasons. Glad to hear KIA after sales is good. I wonder why so many complaints on Peugeot after sales service. Both are under Naza/Nasim isn't it?

I've heard so much about M3 handling being excellent. I suppose with dickheads at the showroom, you did not bother to drive M3. Would like to hear your view M3s handling.
