can ask SA/jaga but cannot check..
coz got jaga there. cannot enter the stockyard..
must wait in waiting room

advise to bring binocular to see the steering..

guys,

just to share experience with you all.

1) if park at area with down hill slope, never ever move the car by simply releasing the hand brake (with N gear and ignition off) and control the movement with foot brake. the BAS is not there so the brake is not working. (or maybe have to press harder?). nearly lost control of my car and only able to stop them by pulling the handbrake.
so for precaution, should move the car with engine running or maybe with ignition on will do.

2) never ever leave thumb drive attached to the usb port when not in use. mine after 2 months seldom take out the drive from the port, now the thumb drive becoming dumb drive. i think spoilt already. actually it was stated earlier in the manual that we should not practice leave them attached when starting the car. this could result in damage to the thumb drive. havent check yet on the usb port. pray hard it is working fine and only the thumb drive spoilt.

ya. i also think like that before. now suddenly spoilt. maybe time to change new thumb drive la.haha
luckily its just old 512mb thumb drive..

the problem is we used to brake with BAS on (for SX). so its very difference feeling when press the pedal with BAS and without BAS.
coz i feel like floor the brake pedal already but the car still moving forward. hehe

weird.. when check on PC the thumb drive is fine.
then put back into usb slot in the car then able to read them back. hmmmm..
not sure what was wrong earlier.. (yesterday it shows could not read USB)

thats pre-historic thumb drive.. can put in museum.. kkekekeke

maybe coz last time drove wira and the break is functioning like normal even without engine run.
so its lesson learned for me..

not really. dont have the chance to get rpm near redline. (coz only use D, i should use shiftronic to get rpm near redline.. by the way even i want to do it, but always trap between hard rev and sayang car feeling. haha)

some other members really did hard break in. i cant recall whom.

but i just able to do like what manual says. rpm between 2k and 4k. and it is advised to avoid same speed driving for long period.
if want play safe, follow manual. if got guts use hard break in method.

no other flaw. if there is also, its stated in the manual as common thing. ie head lamp condensation.. but in SG they able to fix them.
and also alignment out when you get the car. but can fix. so far no other major problem except problem cannot tahan from driving the car!!!


i also seldom see one.. last time saw 2 on the road at same route via LDP.. very nice when compare to other cars. forte sexy back can give you cargasm.

this thread will die if no problem with our forte.. i rather wish this thread to die (means no problem for forte at all!!) than active with rant, whine, problem, defect, regret, etc... kekekekekeke

1.5 years already trade in car?
bro u so kaya arrrr..

forte no resale value as claim by other fanboy.. no scared ahh?
hahahaha

wow. but it's a loan car. abuse by others?
if real customer's car and have this problem only i'll start crying.

1) can campur.. it'll became ron96
2) ron97 will give you better mileage in expense of higher price. but it is justified. recommended for long distance drive. city drive i guess will waste your money only.
3) dunno la i suddenly become anti-shell.. read&heard Caltex is the best, then BHP & Esso/mobil, Petronas also good.
4) OKU drive...

second that. shell is super lousy these days.
dont be fool with their marketing gimmick.

the only good about them is many stations available like petronas.

i've only test once for ron97. better mileage i can get.
but prefer use them on highway. if 100% city drive i guess will not make much differences

stockyard tyre pressure = 350kpa
recommended tyre pressure = 220kpa

just put the pump and it will release/adjust the air pressure accordingly

ah.. forgot to mention that is for 1.6SX.
1.6EX stock tyre pressure is different right KFC? summore u already change to 16" rim.

its on driver's side B pillar

don't think. just call and book first.
last time (on december) if i was not mistaken the booking list already reach until march 2010

same like what bro KFC said...
but for me until naza HQ can confirm that installing alarm via nazakia authorized shop won't void forte warranty, only then can consider.
if nazakia authorized shop can install one (no void warranty one). don't trust them, they only want to make sales.

check with HQ for better clarification.. coz forte is new.. even extended warranty also no news until now.
