Owned Forte 2.0L 6-Speed variant for 4 years, ZERO defect / rattle. The best among all cars I owned before. Regret selling it.

since forte model, sparepart never been issues. for me cerato hold advance technology compare to competitor. pick 1,6 not 2.0

1.6 come with MPI. similar to toyota altis 2.0.

reliability. mybe owner can advise since this car already 5 years on market.

I donr expect any car to be bulletproof...just worry when it comes to sourcing parts when it needs replacing

Am driving a 3 year old Kia Rio Sedan.

Previously was using Almera.

And I can say from my experience, I am enjoying my Kia much much more.

Plus not as much problem compared to my Almera which had bearing issues, motor fan kaput, belting, and cooling coil rosak within 3 years.

I believe it's more of brand perception. Undoubtedly spare parts are more expensive too for Korea cars.

Would you say its much more expensive, when compared to your almera ?
How has your ease of sourcing parts been ?

Depend on previous owner driving style, the way previous owner apply DSG also. But usually it is the mechatronic issue in DSG gearbox. If still got warranty can claim, otherwise need to standby RM7000++ for new mecha unit ahaha

Dunno why people still worried about kolian car spare parts availability. I mean if the model really is rare like genesis (if sold locally) or really old model then I would understand.

My so-called low volume elantra HD still can find spare parts without any problem at all. just drive to foreman, he calls the supplier, and there comes the parts.

Most cars now share same parts across models of same parentage. Like in this case hyundai/kia, elantra HD shares a lot of parts with forte.

You mean service cost or spare parts?

My Rio Sedan is till under warranty, so far touch wood haven't claim anything yet, so can't comment of spare parts.

Service cost wise I would say it comparable with Nissan service.

Driving experience wise, still loving driving my Kia till today biggrin.gif
Somehow it's just different.

I saw a lot second hand kia cerato on mudah too, with competitive price around 60k-65k compared to altis & civic around 80k-90k for 3-4 years old car.

Car looks great from the outside but the interior is a bit ugly.
For kia owners, they have specific outside workshop to service their cars which is much better than official kia workshop

Please introduce workshop. Thanks

sparepart should be easy to get nowdays. i can see a lot of k3 on road. price it depend. if go to SC, any brand also cost bomb.

choose wise. car is not for investment. if you like, just go for it.

aftersales, i think there a lot of korea shop outside if you dont want to go SC.

i bought a used cerato last year, still under warranty. no issue, car in good conditon, full service record. low mileage..enjoying the ride. so far no issue..had a good experience servicing the car at SC.

it's just that service is according to schedule in the book. for low mileage car like mine, although the mileage is only 50k but needs to service at 80k according the book..

other than that is ok

Have a Forte for 9 years now. Still going strong. Scraped plans to sell it for new car. Hutang free better.

No major issues past 9 years. Some were replacement of crankshaft sensor (rm200), absorber link (rm150) and cable gear (rm300 I think). No other major issues.
