This is Forte 1.6EX - Titanium Silver - Snapped at The Pavillion



I must agree that both Metal Broze & Titanium Silver Forte in my pics almost hard to differ..Maybe due to my way of snapping the pictures..my bad

Admired by most of us here..Clear White Forte - 1.6SX - Snapped at The Pavillion

AFAIK, for this Groong Groong Groong (hollow) noise, uneven (but uniform pattern) road is the main culprit not the tyre itself (since that the tyre is still new). i.e. if u driving at Kedah/Perlis (rural road usually), u will always ending up facing this kind of sound suddenly coming from out of now where. Upon close check up, u will immediately noticed that the road was uniformly uneven. This type of uneven road i suspect is due to the paddy harvester (or other heavy machinery that use steel chain to move around) using that road during paddy harvesting season. Since that paddy harvester are quite heavy & use steel chain to move, the steel chain will leave an uneven but uniformly trace on the road. So when other vehicle use that road, the Groong Groong Groong sound will exist.

Tyre noise also might exist if the tyre surface is uneven due to damaged shock absorber, but i dont think that the Forte's shock absorber already kong since it is still new & the tyre also new one.

I suggest you to test drive the Forte again using different route or on newly resurface road to reconfirm the noise. I have test drove Forte 3 time (EX & SX), the ride are so quiet to my surprise. No annoying sound whatsoever

Welcome to the family together we wait for 2.0 Forte in January (hopefully)

Yupp..damn!! me..never mind to wait as long as the delivery date is confirmed. The fact that (unknown) weeks more to wait is truly a torture. + my previous car already sold + 1.6 Forte already OTR..aarrgghhhh!!

I have decided to sell my car this year, else my car value will drop if i sell it next year. Anyway..still got kapcai to move around

Well said bro. Why till now they cannot come up with the exact date (or week) when the 2.0 can be delivered at least for early customers who booked the 2.0 before the official launching event? We 2.0 buyers (especially pre-launch buyers) blindly booked the car without seeing the car itself & put so much faith on NAZA and Forte. But sadly NAZA leaves us into so much uncertainties & leaves us speechless. With so many rumours about the 2.0 availability, again we 2.0 buyers are left clueless. At least by officially announce when the 2.0 can be delivered i.e by 2nd week of January 2010, definitely will ease the burden of waiting in uncertainty for 2.0 buyers. Having said that, i must say that NAZA already failed in term of customer relationships.

Me..still hold to my SA promise when i booked the 2.0 Forte (before official launch), that i can get my car by middle of January 2010. To NAZA, hopefully u can treat your SA promise to my expectation.....

Cannot la bro sham. i desperately need the cruise control function on 2.0SX since that i travel outstation a lot. By using auto-cruising function, my right leg hopefully will not 'lenguh2' after the long journey & might save some fuel (by cruising at a moderate & constant speed)...just beware not to fall asleep when using that function because u just hold to the steering only..hehe
