it seems that Avante ride is much quieter than forte's. Is it due to the sound-clad which comes with avante or tire size? Avante comes with sound clad SP and thicker tires. Or is it due to other reasons???
-
Guys as above. Please state why as well. Disclaimer:I'm not buying either. Just wondering which most people would chose.

I'm a new Forte owner... from the owner's manual, it stated the for Europe countries, the recommended petrol is 95, although 91 can also be use but may result in loss of power... for non-Europe, the recommended is 91. My SE told me that the recommended is 95... but this is different from the owner's manual. So, I would like to find out what type of petrol you guys are using. Btw, any idea why is there a difference for Europe and non-Europe? Different engine used???

Also making its world premiere at New York Auto Show today is a hatchback variant of Kia's hugely popular Cerato Forte. The five door model joins the current four-door saloon and two-door (Koup) coupe versions of the Forte. Stylistically, the hatchback conversion of the Forte is far less adventurous than you would expect from a company that has churned out some interesting designs lately including the Optima and Sportage. There are no photos of the interior yet, but Kia's release makes word of a revised center console, new paddle shifters for the automatic transmission and the addition of a push-button start. North American consumers will have a choice of the 2.0 and 2.4-liter engines while customers in other markets will be able to choose from the 1.6 and 2.0-liter powerplants. More interestingly, the Forte 5-door has been fitted with Hyundai Group's latest six speed automatic transmission. This means that we can expect to see the sedan version be fitted with the 6 speeder quite soon. If the Forte comes fitted with a new 1.6L Turbo powerplant in the future, the Japanese are in deep s--t! In Singapore, the Forte 5-door would make a good alternative to the Hyundai I30. For those who are upset that the Kia Ceed is not available locally, they can take heart that the 5-door Forte could make a local debut. Folks at Cycle & Carriage, please make it happen!

Saw a lime green KIA forte koupe zipping through AYE this morning, as if it is a big-bang sports car. My advice is, pls slow down and drive carefully. Your specs are not that terrific and if you keep driving this way, very soon you will be "taken on" by the big boys on the road. P/S: Side note, just saw the KIA forte koup advert today - $59,999 .... quite affordable siah ... even lower-priced than the past pseudo-sports car - Tuscani.

Maybe it's just my luck but I think I have came across quite a number of Forte or Avante drivers who have this "I am driving a luxury car" look on their face and think they own the road attitude..... JUST A FORTE OR AVANTE LAH FRIEND!!! GIVE ME I ALSO WONT DRIVE :P I am not sure whether to be disgusted or to laugh it as a big joke.. Ok RANT OVER!

Some not-so-nice comments from New Sunday Times (06 December 2009) on the Naza Forte: "The 17" wheels, however, made the ride a bit harsh on rutted sufaces (the lower specced EX comes with more comfortable 15" wheels). We noticed that the Forte nose-dived quite a bit, and if one is not careful, the rear can easily step out. Lifting the right foot in mid-corner, the tail with its torsion-beam suspension started to wag like a puppy. Throw in the light steering and even the best driver will not do anything daring on a wet day with a Forte. Of course, traction control was there to keep things in check but the best is that you keep the steering straight while braking and it should be okay." Price: RM81,800 (1.6SX) OTR with insurance. Regards,

Two Kia Forte SX for sale...or am I seeing double.
Sabretan posted a topic in General Car Discussion
Found these two interesting ads on sgcarmart. Posted by the same dealer. looks kinda of fishy to me. Dishonest dealer or they really got two white cars with such similar registration dates. http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=60064 http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=62299 -
Today went to show room to test these 2 cars. I found that Kia forte and Avante both got weaker pick compare to my 1.5A Vios. The Avante steering wheel is so loose even when the speed goes up to 80. The SE told me its electric steering? Tested Vios and Impreza later and the sterring wheel is stiff and good. Anyone drving a Avante also feel the same looseness?

Don't know if there is already a thread on this, but definately there isn't a poll on this. So come on don't be shy, take your pick. Take everything into consideration la, be it value for money, fuel consumption, design, safety, brand, factor EVERYTHING in ! I know i30 not really in the same cat as the other 2 but trust me, i've seen a lot of people comparing between these 3.

Considering the 2L Forte. May be going for a test drive this weekend. Any 2.0SX owners here to share their views. What's the main difference from the 1.6 apart from larger displacement, cruise control and sunroof? Bodykits?

Many Forte owners are experiencing a soft knock sound when going over road humps. The sound is from the front of the car and the matter has yet to be resolved by AD. Seems like an inherent fault in the car. Any Forte owners here who have the knock sound and got it rectified?
