NST's CBT Reader's Question @ Sunday, 17th September 2010

Question from 012-3030591 :
I was told that the Kia Forte 1.6 engine might be underpowered compared to the 2.0, hence petrol consumption is higher.

Which has better resale value, ie if the 2.0 costs RM12,000 more than the 1.6, will the depreciation for 2.0 drop faster than 1.6 until both are at around the same prices five years down the road?

What is a motor-driven power steering and will it help give better fuel consumption?



Answer :
I have driven the 1.6 Forte and it is not underpowered unless you meant to drag race around the city.

It offers class-leading interior features and good cabin environment.

Resale value for the 1.6 should be better as Malaysians start realising the upward trend in petrol prices.

The motor-driven steering will save a little fuel.
