Spare parts price is Ok no worries regarding availability as kia forte actually share parts with hyundai elantra, the price is kinda on par with honda spare parts price.
@@gordonsoo Oww glad to know this they actually do share the same parts! Recently i am survey through Carlist and anywhere nearest about the koup. and will proceed to test drive next. Thank you once again Gordon , Much appreciate!
@@gordonsoo Good Evening Gordon. Just wanna tell you that I've put deposit on a kia forte Koup today. With a few test drive from last 2 weeks. I've decided to go along with it. You got no idea how much you did help me! Especially with you videos and comment. The one i getting is Corsa Blue like yours. 😊
Hi Gordon, in the video you said that your speakers make a buzzing noise? Like a static noise? Mine constantly makes a buzzing or static noise especially when my volume is on low or not playing it all. I have added a 12in sub w/ 2 amps (1 for sub alone and 1 is for all 4 speakers) these stock speakers do hold up with all the punishment though! I have a 2012 Kia Forte Koup SX and have had it for 8 years.
Hi bro, tq nice info , im on my way to take one but the 4 door versionlah , actually all your problem facing is actually like my father Optima K5 facing including the speaker sound crack on bass , just diy by hot glue gun the speaker paper cause the glue are gone i think 😅 other than that very satisfied with my dad K5, and im planning to own Forte soon . Thanks bro keep it up 👍🏼👍🏼
Hey Gordon, based on your personal experience with your car. Would you recommend someone getting it in 2022? Been interested in this car, 2011/2012 around 100km - 150km mileage.
Hi, currently I am still driving this car 120k km mileage, so far I would say it still drives like a dream, I would say go ahead, but do remember to get a mechanic or something check the steering coupling, alternator and ECU health 1st b4 purchasing, but seriously these are just something that some owners told me, so far non of these issue ever happened to me.
Mr gordon saya teringin nak pakai kia koup lau loan lulus...rasa barbaloi ke tidak saya beli tahun 2013 dan kerta dah ubah suai depan lampu dan bumper model cerato baru...nampk cantik tpi mantainance saya tidak pasti....bagi sedikit pandangan mr gordon.maaf saya x pandai english
very informative video, thanks bro. subscribed and liked. i am seriously thinking to get one 2nd hand forte koup too. Gordon, how much do you think is the reasonable price for a 10 -year old forte koup? according to the seller "well-maintained"
If you have a forte koup, pray you dont ever ever crash it. I crashed my car 8 months ago, not a strong crash but broke a headlight. Its simply impossible to find a replacement and many sellers list the standard forte headlight as compatible with koup, its not. If anybody have any clue about where to buy headlight for the koup, id love to know.
If the mileage is still reasonably low, why not? But it is advisable to bring along a mechanic of your own to get a good look at it, just to avoid any deceit. I personally like blue Forte Koup if I can get hold of one.
Great video Gordon, I too am a huge fan of the Forte Koup and I plan to get one once im more financially stable
I have mine at 270000km! I hope it never dies. Love your Koup mods 👌
Does it cost alot to repair ?
Thank you Gordon for the information!
It's really helpful.
One last thing that im worry about is about the spare parts prices and availability in MY.
Spare parts price is Ok no worries regarding availability as kia forte actually share parts with hyundai elantra, the price is kinda on par with honda spare parts price.

I have same worry like you. I like Kia Sorento and plan to buy this car.

Thank you. Very informative. I am looking at buying a 2011 2litre SX auto, here in New Zealand. Are they an 4 or 5 speed automatic?.
In Malaysia, a 2 litre SX auto, comes with a 6 speed automatic. I believe it should be the same worldwide unless u get the 1.6 litre 4 door variant.
Chingon bro🙌🏻
Thanks👌🏻
hi may i know if now i want to buy forte koup is it a good choice？

Mine has 240,000 km , still runs good, had fix the turbo once but most likely because i was running with a short ram intake

In South Africa we didn't get the folding mirrors option for the first Gen Koup. Only the second Gen

Keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
If you hear weird noses in your car pull over and run because skin walker will get you if you don't 😂
what do you think about the cerato koup, how does it compare with the forte koup?
If you have a forte koup, pray you dont ever ever crash it. I crashed my car 8 months ago, not a strong crash but broke a headlight. Its simply impossible to find a replacement and many sellers list the standard forte headlight as compatible with koup, its not. If anybody have any clue about where to buy headlight for the koup, id love to know.
How about the petrol consumption
IT about a honda civic level I would say
True. All the rubber bushings on the Koups are weak
does this forte koup equipped with vehicle stability control, traction control?
if I am not mistaken yes it does equip with it
Nice video bro!
Thanks
hi bro,i plan to get a used koup this yr.may i know the part n accessories easy to find onot?btw i m frm sarawak
What about engine failure ? How along Kia Forte koup 2012 will starting facing engine problems?
So far i had not experienced any engine failure. The car is still running strong
You know what they say about opinions
It is still running strong till today
Bro. Been looking on one of these and i found one with 226k miles. 2012 bodykit. Should i go for it or is that too high mileage?
Wow 226k is a little crazy, but it does shows that it is a reliable car, I personally would go for something like a 100k
Since its 2021 now, is it a good choice to buy this car? Its about RM35k+
If the mileage is still reasonably low, why not? But it is advisable to bring along a mechanic of your own to get a good look at it, just to avoid any deceit. I personally like blue Forte Koup if I can get hold of one.
Many guys have had problems with the steering rack
I would like to ask, how much did you spend on painting the roof of the car？
around RM400
Nak jaga kereta ni senang tak..big problem
Yup betul tu
