Cerato Forte No. 4 best-selling car!

Kia's "Power to Surprise" has definitely surprised many ppl with this achievement!

"4) Kia Cerato Forte (from $46,999)
The Cerato Forte has been the surprise of the year so far. Kia's latest compact saloon is a quantum leap in all areas over its predecessor. It's biggest draws are probably the sharp styling inside and out, and the amount of standard equipment it offers despite its budget price tag. If there's a car that ought to convince you that the Koreans have reached or even surpass the standard of the Japanese, the Cerato Forte will be it. I expect this to be an even more common sight on our roads by year's end."

The author wrote this about Hyundai Avante: "That said, there's hardly anything outstanding about the Avante other than its affordable price."

That said, I have confidence Kia will continue to surprise others when it's Cerato Forte overtakes Hyuandai's Avante.

Wise move to all our Fortians here on riding a Forte!

since Forte registration in SG only started in late Feb 09 ....the sale numbers for forte recorded for this ranking are only for about 6 months as compared to the rest which are using their 12 months number.....

Ermm according to report in Korea released recently, forte is in fact the most exported Korean car/model so far this year.

Let's see the rankings again next year. High chance of it taking over No. 1! Now I seen 5 Fortes at the HDB carpark near my house. =)

avante is overrated i feel. initially before forte is launched, of course avante fits the budget but with our forte, i think it is a clear bet who wins.

somemore both korean won. latest edition of torque picks forte to be the winner among avante and cruze too.

great news, and i am a proud owner!...
only in oneshift, the editor choose cruze 1.8 over forte 2.0!

im just so proud of all the out of the box features and functions of my forte.. and the service technician of the csII there say our forte front side material is made of metal which is quite impressive as cheap car usually use plastic material that of the bumper.. some even though im driving a 2 litre car!! haa..

oh one more thing i just realize, MIJ SuZ*ki upped their specs for SX4... haaa..seee... MIJ is trying hard to respond.. except ESC.. i am seeing they throw in all like ours.. .climate, instrument info, 17".. etc etc...
Toyo*ta too... altis.. changed rims, reverse cam.. folding mirror etc.. one thing i like is the auto reverse [size=18]tilt[/size]..very useful..
anyone know if ours could install this? i think esp useful for kerb checking...

wow sound like mec have auto rev mirror too very usefull

Forte will soon overtake the rest.....

Saw the WHEELS ASIA car buyers' guide 2009/10 where Forte was rank No1. in budget/compact car category. Very good achievement within such a short period.

I dun mind Avante continue to be the leader.... Cruz can take over Forte also never mind..... Sorry guys ..... I really hope not too many FOrtes on the road .... if not our life will be very boring..... no one will look at us if there are so many Fortes.

Yesterday morning at AMK food centre... a toyota altis driver came out of his car and kept looking at my Forte for about 5 minutes....

Yesterday afternoon.....at private Estate in Wilkinson Road, I park my car outside my friends house, a family was looking and viewing my Forte as if they were in a showroom.

So u know what I mean....

I am still waiting for my ride. So whenever I drive pass or walk pass a Forte, I will slow down and view it as if I am in a showroom. Ha... Can't resist especially there are so many features and poisons around for me to consider......

I agree with you! i prefer Forte having more good reviews!

Hopefully all hiccups of Forte will be settled ASAP and Cnc KIA up the ante on their quality on service and product.

Waiting for the day when Kimchi produce is as good if not better then the sushi make but yet more reasonably priced...
