hahaha i've absolutely no idea... but my SA informed me i should be getting my ride around january, beginning of january
not sure how true is that tho

Looks like mine is the worst.. he does not know anything. Will follow up next week.. hopes there are good news.

the underpower of Forte is felt when climbing even small hill.. FC rating increased when pressed harder on the pedal (of course!).. i climbed Bukit Brinchang (Cameron Highlands) before with my old wira.. dun think Forte can take that
But i did achieved 6.2L/100km on DUKE last night .. straight way with few cars, so... hehe...

if going up hill i just use manual shift and shift down a gear works wonders

i did that, but it's still heavy lor... other than that, everything is great!
finally tested the CD player, after almost 2 weeks collected the car

hmm.. it is time to look at the torque figures again.

nono.... is time to switch to 2.0 Forte... haha...

hey! Bomberman, I switched from 2.0SX to 1.6SX ok.. can not take on the unknown delivery date lor.. also, 1.6SX is sufficient la, i would say, not that I have to climb hill very frequent (cheaper installment also.. hehe)

Bro.. I am sitting ducks like you lah.. no car availability updates and waiting in the dark. hopes the low rpm torque is good enough.. and no need to rev it all the way to max torque. ( this is what so sweet about the 308 thp.. 240 flat from 1400 ~ 4250 )

do you guys seriously think about the sound-proofing thing???
perhaps we can arrange for group purchase for soundproof as well??

DK scheweizer with less than 1k???
sure boh??? that is real deal man!!

yaya....
we are not stay in high hill.....

did you ride with full load before??? exp 4 adults / 5 adults? how's the power and will the car more bumpie??

oh... ppl considering downgrade their car..
hahaha!

haha... nono... just thinking how's the performance of the car will be???

as one of the member in SG forte said that his car load with 4 adults + 2 kid (one 3 years + one 7 years) the pick up is horrendous.....

just want to confirm whether his comment is true enough???

which hill are you talk about? mind sharing.. maybe we go and try too.. ehhehhee.. Ok. Time to mod Forte for better power

no joke.. I was in shock seeing that banner also. Its hanging out side of their building.

ya ya ya, I agree. Should be serious about this.
Perhaps current forte owners can share with us how the noise level at high speed.

Anything that need to take things apart and put them back... i will think twice on that.. don't really want to take the risk on those.

m thinking of these instead

was asked to pay before so that can get car faster, but i ended up didn't pay at all.
we SHOULD NOT be paying these things.

First should mod their rims to 15" or 16" in order to feel more power.
