You think I don't want to sell the Gen2?? But the freaking resell value is damn low. Only can get RM 46k for my 5 months old Gen2 CPS auto (2009, price is RM 60k). The Forte also bad in resell value but at least it is full featured & more spacious to accommodate my bigger family in future. Just a small note, at least that Forte offered 5 rims (1 additional same rim as space tyre).

Why I buy it? This is because Forte is not launch 5 months ago, damn it. Yes we have the buying power but RM 60k budget we only can get Gen2 as the best available. Otherwise it would be the Neo CPS but that is a 2 door. The Forte without import tax is definitely lower price than Gen2 pricing. Yes we cannot change the taxes by our mean forum post but even if we don't mention it, doesn't mean it did not exist & sucking us dry to get lesser specs car. But even with import tax & priced at 80k+ (or 90k+ for the 2.0l), I still willing to top up to go for the Forte.

Who wants to bash Proton if their product is value for money with features? I trying to think of the good things of the Gen2, so I can forget the Forte but it somehow cannot. I am not exaggerating, the Forte comparing with Gen2 is a world of difference. See the specs & also CBU Korea for the 1st 1-2 batches. Some more Forte can get lower interest as well. Damn stuck up Proton kept insisting banks to offer 3.5% for 5 years no matter what.

I tell you every below RM 100k value car enthusiast (brand aside) will appreciate this Forte's pricing & specs, unless this person don't know the car market value or a noob
