Forte normally i get 10L/100KM for city drive..
and 7L/100KM for highway.. other might get even lower FC..depend on how u drive..
not sure about spectra yet..

im driving kia spectra 2004

recently when i make sharp turn on either side..thats a sound like tak tak tak'..wondering izzit drive shaft problem? how much to fix it?

Yes... it is the drive shaft problem. I just changed mine last two months. Cost about RM 380 each side. Sob... sob...
And.. it is not from Kia Service Center... should be more costly if from SC.

thx for ur info bibibobo...u changed driveshaft head or driveshaft whole batang? wanna survey the sparepart price and ask mechanic to install it

Hi all, i need an advise. I got a 2 years old Spectra5. The "check" light appeared lately. I went to Kia SC and the foreman reset it through computer system. And i was charged for rm65. According to the foreman the "check" light appeared is due to Shell RON95 petrol which is not suitable to use for Kia Spectra5. Is that true?

And lately my FC is increasing like hell. RM60 Petrol for appx. 250km only. Will it be the O2/Oxygen Sensor spoiled? But the "check" light does not appear. What will be the other possibility which caused this? Need your advise. Thanks in advance man...

recently i bought a used kia spectra novus , when i take the car petro lamp has been light up. Go pump petro rm80-ron95-42little but until today go 250km but the needle has been in the last half grid
any brother having the same situation?

hi my friend, have you been driving the car in the city?
my 2002 spectra with 80K km, goes 300km in the city driving and 450~500 on the highway , in city driving it is a fuel guzzler

I was always wondering why 2nd hand spectra is much cheaper than similar cars in same spec? atleast it shouldn't be cheaper than Kelisa!!

so guys what are the factors that caused this car to be so cheap?

apologies if this was already talked about.

The car is a fuel drinker. Very high fuel consumption.. The interior doesn't last if put under hot sun..
I'm driving one and regretting it. LOL..

anybody knows why the abs light always on?

check the sensors at the wheels if you have recently done servicing on your wheels
you can take it mr.foo for computer check @50rm

Added on June 4, 2012, 8:25 ami agree about the sun , but considering the price you pay and the equipment you get it is a very good choice--- you pay the same price as a wira and fc is only 2 liters higher than my friends 1.5A wira , as for maintenance you have to find a good mechanic, maintenance is same as my old kembara, but it is very comfortable.....

Added on June 4, 2012, 8:33 amin my opinion the first generation Korean cars did this , they made the impression that Korea cars are bad, and people still have the same idea , when i bought my spectra i was very skeptical but now i am happy that i did not buy a very old jap, i paid 13000 for a 2002 with 80K on the clock which is a bargain in my opinion , slightly more expensive than a kancil, but in city driving it drinks petrol but on highway you can get 10km/L. buy one if you find a clean one, otherwise dont go with cars above 120 K on the clock

Sorry to say this, but pls avoid buying spectra at all cost no matter hw cheap it is. Get a kelisa oso better.

Spectra is a terrible car and u will spend so much more repairing it. Or get a2nd hand jap car oso ok. Wont hv too many problems like the spectra

I'm not driving a spectra but a spectra5, my oppinion is that this car is nice to drive. On FC side, no complaints. new tech engine, and for that weight of the car ..i think its very fair. For me Korean cars is always safer to drive no matter new or old. I have another hyundai getz as well, 7 years car no problem at all. All bought because i want a safer than proton car with cheap price.NO complaints so far just a bit hiccup claiming warranty from NAZA last 2 years.

Why i say its a safer car to drive? its because i've saw them in accident with my own eyes, and 100% sure proton/cheap japs are no where have as strong body as them. The trade off is abit on FC since you're driving a tank around town.
