New 2010 Kia Forte(Cerato replacement!)

[Alfist168]

Active head restraint looks like an ordinary restraint from the outside. You only knows when it is "active" during a collision when the huge impact lunges you forward, during which your ordinary restraint would tilt forward to prevent Whiplash (i.e. neck) injuries.

 

Hope this helps!

 

i agree with Windchoco, writing down everything is the best solution. Maybe Kia salespeople now have suddenly too many customers to fulfill =)

I think CnC should be more open and bring in all the options and give us a wider choice to customise then to control all or best to make more types of packages for us to choose. If it is just a 2-3k diff. for a much better option it is still worth it as most cust wont mind

[Alfist168]

Agree. More option packages like sporty, luxury, very sporty, very luxury should be included too.

 

Does anyone knows are there still any features in the Forte that is not available in Singapore, besides the warranty?

Oh ya. Haha. For $7k extra, C&C should bring in this feature as standard in 2litre SX versions.

 

However, there is still the consideration that if this is introduced, then the Mag sitting next to it in the showroom will feel very "bare" in comparison.

 

But still, hope the upcoming 2.4 Sorento comes with it

In the video ad, the driver said "MP3", and the voice recognition headunit changed mode to MP3, or something like dat... Think thats missing? or maybe just wayang in ad... lol

 

And also keyless entry.

I know the Avante line-up has a hole in it, in the sense that Hyundai can still introduce a full-specced Avante into their line-up to make their Avante product range more complete. But I don't find the Forte lacking in this way leh. It feels like it has a complete product range in its own right, even when compared to the Civic. The disadvantage of the Forte lie in its basics, with a heavy chassis (though it results in a stable high-speed ride), interior full of plastic, plastic, plastic and a steering wheel that doesn't feel right at times. There is nothing that C&C can do about these, sadly...

From the Forte owner driving exp. The Electric power steering is under appreciated by those who just do 20 mins test drive .

 

At parking lot, Lady n the Sr Citizen appreciate the most .

At Hi-speed the EPS Auto tighten up + the 1250kg body weigh it is steady n firm like a Rock .

Under $50K with AB, DiscB, Steering Radio control, Auto light sensor, Active Head Rest, Advance Electronic supervision cluster etc. Toyota, Honda, Maz AD find it hard to crack .

 

No wonder this car is now No: 1 in Town for it Value Buy

but not to worry the FORTE FLOOD is coming soon as many of us collecting our fortes these few weeks/months

[Alfist168]

Korean cars take some time to gain acceptance after all...

look at the numbers of avante, getz, picanto etc on the roads and i believe the acceptance is more or less already there
