I have been using naza suria (similar engine) for 2 years, no any problem. Fuel consumption good, better handling and stability in highway, of course better than VIVA. But heard complain gear box problem, kadang-kadang nasiblah, just maintain a good service and regular change of gear oil to avoid this problem. Its a good car, please go ahead.

I too am not keen on this feature being left out too but perhaps it could be Kia themselves not having this feature at all. Just have a look at a Singapore specced Picanto and you will see that they are similar. Maybe fitting a nice looking aftermarket water and oil temperature gauge may help, plus, it will make make the car interior look a little more interesting too. Tiadaid,

Cause I have driven one in SG before,it was my aunt's fren's car. Yes,its got 125hp under the hood,its got great looks,its has good ride but I can tell you the engine is HORRIBLE!! 125hp felt like I am driving a 90hp car.Pickup was non-existent,and it felt terrible driving it. Really,price might be cheap but I suggest you stay away from this Forte.IF you dont mind the serious lack of power,go ahead but regret later.. Anyway,back to topic, I will take a Myvi anytime over this piece of junk! =) Sorry offtopic abit

I have seen this Naza Sutera before and i am not impress at all. Interior very cheap stake. You can take of like ligo parts. Cant imagine using after 2nd year, coz maybe rattling sounds all over the place. All i can think of the strategy to change name is that people already know the quality of Naza Sutera..or Naza Picanto or whatever you wanna call it later. Verdict...DO NOT BUY THIS JUNK....
