This thread should be moved under motoring. Maybe KWChang could help out here.

OK, coming to Forte, I have few friends (hmm I think 5), all of them are happy with it. It has better features and value for money compared to its range of cars.

As for, resale value, only time would sell. But in Msia I think, there is always a stigma for korean cars, and msian tend to value Japs car better.

Forte, also comes with 2.0 version. For better review, you could visit lowyat thread for individual review there.

Yeah, not only in US but all Europe as well, it was rated as best value. In US its being sold only at MR45-56K! BTW, all US sold cars are cheap, cant be compared to Msian wonderful pricing.

I have test drive it, and I'm a Kia owner myself. Its a great car, but I would go with the 2.0 version.

Not so bad lah unker. At least they have the decency to put "engineered by Kia, Peugeot" at the back of their cars. Unlike some other "local" car manufacturers.
