Added on December 24, 2009, 11:02 pmYup..did feel a bit heavy after oil changed... but eventually my FC improved! Here are of my best records after 1st service:
1) 1++km/h @ DUKE highway (line clear) = 6.2L/100km
2) 60km/h @ Federal highway (line clear) = 5.5L/100km
3) Daily to & fro office between 8-10L/100km

Wish All forte members " Merry Christmas " Anyway i still waiting my 2.0 forte.......

Recommended tyre pressure is 220kpa front and back. If really want a more quite ride, do 200kpa Front and Back, this will bring down the noise and ride is not that firm. Cabin noise also depends on the road that you are driving on.

When I took my ride, the tyre pressure is 300 - 330kpa (different tyre different kpa), road noise was obvious and ride is firm (bumpy). I adjust it to recommended 220kpn front and back, the road noise and ride tone down quite a lot.

So in your test drive maybe you want to be more 'adventures' go to petrol station and try different pressure. And make sure it is at least at recommended kpa, I won't be surprise that some test drive car, the tyre pressure is way above 220kpa or 300kpa!

200kpa? will that spoilt the tyres?

Very worry now...since some of the owner already complain on the high temp on that car .....
Scare that it is no a reliable car

my line was so down previous few days til i lz go on9.. now use few days also to climb the thread

blackforte bro, i thk we book from the same dealer.. their test drive car is WTH78xx rite??

regarding my forte, the sales gt ask me to change to black colour coz gt stock and silver hv to wait.. refuse 2 do so coz i also dun need car so soon n black colour damn hard to maintain + vr hot as i hv a black car b4.. n i also get my desire WTJ number... 2 bad kena charge RM100 runner fee coz i was not at KL when WTJ release..

the "K" emblem i still hesitate whether wana get it or not coz i most properly will change my front grill so it is kind of waste if only change back 1..
maybe will get the back emblem as shown as pic below:


but still not confirm yet.. hehe...

Booked my 2.0SX on Nov 26th 2009... Loan Approved for RM80k @ 1.56% @ 5 years.. tick tock.. .tick tock... gonna cancel the booking by end of this month and moves on... very in pain have to make a tough decision to give up on this car... as the next car not cheap and also have to deal with 3% loan

Which bank give you this super interest rate?

wow... which bank? mind to tell...
i need loan duration between 3 to 5 years...

i think my car need a balancing and alignment.
is it ok if i go to service centre without wait for my 1st service?

overall i really love this car

Bro - fix the sensored car alarm la.. if it detects any 'force' againt the car, ppl bang, or kick - car will make noise. my fren car Myvi - u ketuk once, got voice saying " Dont touch me !! " cool ! hehe

me too ! MyForte for estimated 8 yrs.. hope no major setbacks...

Strange!? My Loan approved & just signed loan agreement, I was very anxious to pay the downpayment.
But when I called my SA she said no need to pay now till the car arrived.
My guess is it could be due to the high demand in KL/Klang Valley.

Added on December 25, 2009, 2:13 amCorrect me if I'm wrong. I think tyre brand also got some impact on the noise level.
I ever used Silverstone, GoodYear, Falken & Dunlop...
Silverstone the most noisy, Falken is quite, Dunlop not bad.

Regarding tyre pressure, this depends on your carrying loads during regular use.
If usually one person ride, lower down pressure should be no problem..
