XenonWhite 1st Gear November 10, 2010 Share November 10, 2010 becos during driving is very noisy when sunroof is open. convertible one is ok. It depends on what car the sun roof is fitted on.. Some cars like the VW Beatle can be very noisy till u need to raise your voice to talk.. Cars like Mini Cooper S and Avante is quite ok even with sunroof open all the way and u can still carry out a normal conversation at speed up to 80km/hr. Not sure about convertible though cos never tried that b4.. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M3ZZ Neutral Newbie November 10, 2010 Share November 10, 2010 I managed to catch a glimpse of the new avante in seoul 2 weeks ago. It was on test drive. Its very much like the smaller version of I45. I personally think its alot more beautiful than forte. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Civic cheaper den avante and forte =x If the civic is cheaper than avante & forte, for many pple mindset here, confirm all will go buy civic instead of avante & forte. Afterall civic still a jap made car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proton_neutron 1st Gear March 16, 2011 Share March 16, 2011 Kia Forte comes out with the 6speed ver.. the pick up is very impressive.. u guys free hor can go KIA kay siao test drive :) But the car just doesn't look like a new car now. The styling is starting to get dated. Unless if you're talking about the Koup then it's another story. Kia should make the interior of the Forte like the K5. Upmarket materials and features, would make the car super competitive to the continentals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majordan 2nd Gear March 16, 2011 Share March 16, 2011 forte is priced low for a reason.. cos they have to save on materials where they can. no bi-xenon/LED lights to start with. i can't comment on the interior cos i never seen before but based on what I read, it feels cheapo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proton_neutron 1st Gear March 16, 2011 Share March 16, 2011 (edited) forte is priced low for a reason.. cos they have to save on materials where they can. no bi-xenon/LED lights to start with. i can't comment on the interior cos i never seen before but based on what I read, it feels cheapo The interior is hard plastics lorh. But at least it's well assembled. The workmanship is quite good. If the upcoming new Avante has an interior the same quality as the i45/ K5, then can say goodbye to the Forte already.
