PPeripheraL Clutched April 22, 2011 Share April 22, 2011 its rather foolish to pay 75k for a korean car. coe will crash. its a matter of when only. play the waiting game and sit it out personally, i don't think coe will crash. by crash i mean drop to 4 digits or less.. i think lowest it can go is at most 30+k.. which is unlikely already. this 40+k coe will be sticking with us for quite some time.

Mike1234 1st Gear April 22, 2011 Share April 22, 2011 Concerning Kia Forte According to reports, Kia Soul has being upgraded with the 1.6 GDI engine (140hp) which i suspect is found as the new Hyundai Avante to the world recently.... Thus don't be surprised that next time Kia Forte will also be upgraded with the 1.6 GDI engine (140hp) with 6 spd Auto... Piang eh, make me very very tempted Of cos, this would take some time....Not so fast... Btw, Avante with 1.6 GDI engine(140hp) would probably arrive first...

Friendstar Supercharged April 22, 2011 Share April 22, 2011 I agree, in most cases you will not go wrong with black. Was told that once you owned a black car, it is diffcult to change. For my present and previous car, the final choice of colour was between silver and black. Both times, black won. Silver for the easy maintenance and Black for the shine. All you need is a good wax and shine, the black car will look good again. i tot silver is a safer color. i have stuck with silver for many of my cars.

Alfisti168 1st Gear April 22, 2011 Share April 22, 2011 if manual, doesn't make a difference between 09 / 11. if auto, get the 11 cause of the 6AT. except when in the expressways. Surely you don't want the car growling along at ~3000rpm at 100km/h? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Civic6228 6th Gear April 23, 2011 Share April 23, 2011 i tot silver is a safer color. i have stuck with silver for many of my cars. I agree that Silver is a safe colour and nowadays, it seems that the two most popular colour are black and silver. That is why for the last two cars, the final choice of colour were between silver and black. Silver is easier to maintain but i like black for the shine. I feels that a black car will look newer after some time compared to a silver one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPeripheraL Clutched April 23, 2011 Share April 23, 2011 except when in the expressways. Surely you don't want the car growling along at ~3000rpm at 100km/h? if i'm right, the difference between 09 / 11 model is 5MT and 6MT, so the difference is not that great if you compare to the AT version. of course it will be better to get the 6MT transmission, but if you want to snatch the deal at 75k for a 5MT transmission i think it's ok. but a cerato forte SX 6MT i think it's only at 78k or so..

PPeripheraL Clutched April 23, 2011 Share April 23, 2011 no one can forsee a crash. who can tell when a recession is coming? who can tell that lehman bros will be bankrupt? then how do you know it will crash sooner or later? what if it never crashes and instead our market continues to boom? and like i said already, personally i think. i never foresaw anything. it's just a gut feeling of mine.

So if u always park in mscp a silver car will look newer. However when there is no direct sunlight then the black will look shinier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
