Just want to update my comments on top. Recently NHTSA did crash test on Kia Forte. Results:
Frontal Driver Rating (Full Frontal): 5 stars
Frontal Passenger Rating: 5 stars
Side Driver Rating: 5 stars
Side Rear Passenger Rating: 3 stars
Rollover 2 Wheel Drive Rating: 4 stars

Note that this is for North American version and is with 6 airbags. Just hope that Naza doesn’t change the structural material or do a half ass assembling job.

Malaysian buyers, its your right to be educated about safety. And let the market demand safer cars and still keep the price down.

The car is NOT 5 star rating. Please. The only body that I know has crash tested the Forte is ANCAP (Australia). It obtained 4 star rating. Not bad at first glance. But it scored poorly in leg protection, with risk of serious leg injury especially to the upper legs.

But then again, we are Malaysians. What do we care about safety of cars??

Any further news on this car?

Real sporty and looks strong! Gets me adrenaline up. This beauty is so not like the old and present Kias which are phasing out. Asked a Naza salesguy doing promo in Giant. He said the car will be out end June. Starting from less than RM70k. I hope he’s speaking the truth. But no surprise since Forte in Canada, Australia and Singapore is priced lower than what people expect. Habisla City and Dugong…

everyone here is criticizing that its a copy cat of something…if any of you critics knew anything about automobiles in general…youd take a look at the past say…20 years, and see that at some point just about every auto make has copied each other shared makes, or something…its how the market goes…fords little ranger, mazda has the same thing, the b2200…as well as isuzu copys currently, chevy’s colorado. get with it and get over it everyone, and give kia/hyundai some damn slack, theyve came along long way since the heydays of the early 90’s.

For a company that came out of no where since the 70’s and now they are the world top 5 car manufacture of the world…everyone should be giving them a credit! Everyone in here have their rights to give their two cents on this matter. Japan are great la, Korean car are copycat la…what ever! The fact is that the Korean ARE NOT but IS ALREADY improving on all their models.

Anyone who have the RIGHTS to condemn them are those who actually bought their models and have a feaking nightmare while owning them. Again, only KIA Malaysia that I found out very disturbing on their quality! On the matter of this car, I HAVE to say it’s darn pretty! A very good work that come out great to my eyes. So drop the copycat issue as they were a bad thing! I don’t give a damn as long it looks good. My concern is that KIA Malaysia have a lot to prove on their RELIABILITY!!

Is it a bad thing to have something resemble something else? Many say the Accord looks like the new C-Class from the front and Bangle-BMW styling at the rear but no one knocks it. I wonder why?

the old sonata had c-class front lights and jaguar’s back..they even mentioned it in their ad

when this car is not cheap as proton and maybe same price with other Japanese cars, a lot of people will buy Japanese cars rather than Korean cars because of the ‘badge’ and second hand value..

Only problem is that this will not be that cheap. Gov make sure that Proton cars are cheaper anyway you look at it
