Very nicely put bud. I totally agree with u abt the resale. I drove honda city, vios and forte and compared the specifications and other stuff as well and the obvious winner was none other than Forte.

Proton Sux. Dun have QC at all. If u think Kia can’t last 15years, then how well can your Proton perform?

Probably you should be wearing pampers plus thousands of kotak tissue due to no QC, fragile body and pasar malam spare parts.
Good luck with your Proton.

When we think of getting a car, mostly we will think so safety first, followed by fuel consumption and maintainance wise. Resale value just comes later (probably 5 years after bore of driving the same car?) Anyway, we are talking about driving cars, not selling cars. There are many cars that have low resale value such as Mercedes, BMW where their market price drop vastly each year compare to Japanese cars.

For your info, Toyota has higer resale value. Due to the fact that happened few years ago in U.S.A (Toyota brake failure causing death in highway) plus recent tragedy (flood in Thailand), woud you consider more about resale valueor relaible of car? Plus, Japanese car manufacturers take things for granted. The release of Kia Forte really slap the C-segment cars in the face.

Toyotas, spare parts nowadays are made in Thailand. I’m not saying Toyota aren’t good, but their quality has drop increadibly.

Each car has their own strength and weakness. We can’t say which car is better. Car manufacturers designed variety of cars. Some are for comfort and safety (excluding the fuel economy), while others focus on reliability, fuel economy and etcs.

Hi,

I am in middle of planning to get a forte… I test drive the car . It was so cool. But unfortunately when i came back home and found that we could get a 2010 year forte for only 70k (sx spec) isn’t it a loss of 15k in year. Do you think it is better to get the 2nd hand or get a new one. Please help me guys.. I need a reply asap. I am plaaning to trade in my City 2005 and get a forte.

I have ford fiesta, Inspira, city and vios in my mind.

But thought of going for Korean car for the first time. Any feedback?

Buy a Proton, please. If ur asking for a 15 year loan, then you totally lost it!
do you seriously think your Kia (or any Jap car nowadays) can last you 15 years? And if u let go after 7 years, get ready a box of tissue paper to dry your tears.

I oso want this baby and also thought of buying with some loan supplement up to 15 years in several month ago, but no one is pretty sure about this, I read the comment up above that mention bout this and guess that it’s only issued by some branch, plus not sure if they can accept trade-ins…

Hi Stephh,

SO SAD! What i can say is…. really bad to stay in Malaysia due to stupid TAX!
Naza will not import Kia Koup (include Forte Koup) family unless you buy at Singapore. Some fans of Malaysians prefer koup, they even changed Forte bumper as Koup’s bumper. But again…. Forte still Forte, Koup still Koup.
Remember…via surface Koup is using two doors and have top-windows whereas Forte is like normal Sedan.
