I dun understand why buying Forte need to be a Brave Person??
No one will know how many years the cars can served us in good condition... U darn to said the T and H wont give u the problem after 3 years??
My friend received quotation from H brand and it cause RM23k for the gear box... that car just City... ( This is the common issue for the City 2003-2005)
This is the H service centre fault, but the H brand don't wan to replace the gb FOC due to after 3 years warranty... then wat to do??
Lets focus the servicing part, Who darn to say the H and T brand servicing is cheap?
Maybe the price consider is CHEAP for the owner, but it still depends on how u judge the car.

ya lor.. vios is B segment car.. Forte is C segment car..
so you can compare between Forte and Civic.

I took 2.0 Forte price and 2.0 Civic price okay?
forte cost you rm93K whereby civic cost you rm110K

if you afraid of second value, have you consider how much Japs car (civic) conned you? thats almost 20K! interior wise and gadget, forte win hands down. only drawback is the 4 speed gear box for malaysian market.

you already lose 20K for the much 2nd value issue if you buy civic instead of forte.

haha
