Went to TTDI NAZA and NAZA World @ Federal High Way to test drive and check out on the white color Kia Forte. It’s awesome!
Kia Forte Test Drive Unit – Titanium Silver
Kia Forte – Bright Silver
Kia Forte – Clear White (not metallic but it’s 2k solid white)
This white Kia Forte is awesome for me! It’s good and it will make the Kia Forte looks much elegant and bigger. Ilusi optic ma.
Will talk about this new Naza Kia Forte Interior soon. Stay tuned. I have made a booking on this Kia Forte and placed a booking fees, deciding on the color and finding cheaper loan with the interest rate of 3.0 or 3.1 if possible and finding the highest price to trade in my Proton Wira Aeroback 1.3 Manual year 2002. Anybody looking for this car and want to buy?

throug my experienced driving a kia,mine was kia spectra, was very comfortable and the performance was excellent but unfortunately maintenance was difficult. Bad service and inexperience service centre,costly spare (cylinder head RM3k). Had to sell off my spectra. Forte is nice but the phobia remains. Sayang

I had a look this car at Ampang point just now. Anybody has compared this car with Honda City, Hyundai Ascent, Vios, Persona, Mazda 3 etc?? Which areas/features this car win???
April 18, 2010
saimatkong, i have a few question to ask.
1. from wat i seen above, is it really tat bad in terms of services?i had seen through it’s website and it is not that costly. then how bad is it??
2. secondly, when driving in the city, is the handling meaty?i am refering to the 1.6sx model. since it is hydraulic powered steering.
3. what is the top speed you can get with this car?
thanks for the advice.
April 18, 2010
Hi LWS,
1) depends on which service center and some have good feedback.
2) meaty as in?
3) I do not drive fast, but some of the Forte member drove up till 200km/j 1.6SX.
April 20, 2010
thanks for the advice.
are there any good service centre in klang??
ohya, what i meatn by Q2 is when driving around city area which need to do a lot of turnings. will the steering wheel be heavy then those electric power steering?
wau..i cant believe they can go up to 200km/h. they turbocharged their car izit??
April 21, 2010
hmm I only went to Jalan Tandang and it’s okok la… Steering is ok also. Go test drive to check it out!

hi, i’m planning to get a forte, do u think i should take ex or sx and what color suitable for me? actually i like white but scared hard to maintance so thinking bout metal bronze n titanium silver. what’s ur opinion?
April 28, 2010
Hi Bibi, depending on your budget, if you feel you want more gadgets and better specs then go for SX but EX now come with free bodykit and sports rim as well.
I’m having white and no regret as it’s nice and ya have to wash and do extra coating pps to keep my car clean and nice lo =)
If u free come to Old Boy Puchong this Saturday 9-10am to meet us there.
April 28, 2010

April 28, 2010

April 30, 2010
finally i had book white forte 1.6lsx..
but nw hv no stock, need waiting for 3 week…
April 30, 2010
it’s worth the wait!
May 9, 2010
hi, forte 1.6 run by timing chain or timing belt?
May 9, 2010
kh : it’s timing chain.
May 10, 2010
I have been driving the 1.6 SX since March 2010.
The good points:
1. Enjoys the car very much, inside out – the features are rich.
2. Enjoys the driving and the road holding is superb.
3. Attracts lots of onlookers.
The not so good:
1. The steering is heavy due to no EPS.
Improvement suggested to principal:
1. The service center can be improved further. Though not much complaints on my 1st visit to have the car serviced, but overall service delivery is so much lacking when I compared to Toyota service center. By the way, this comparison if for the one in Bkt Raja (Kia) and Toyota in Telok Panglima Garang.
