The 2.0's steering is not as light as you think. In fact it is funny in the sense that it's heavier at lower speeds but lighter at high speeds; which is kinda the opposite of what it should be.

For really weightless (and hence anaesthesied) steering, check out the Latio. Now that one you truly can steer with one finger... not the Forte.

Forte 2.0 is using Electric Powered Steering right? Should be the same as NHC? I feel that NHC steering is very light at lower speed but become heavy and heavier when speed up...
My Forte 1.6 steering is even heavier than my sis Atos...I can't steer with 1 hand but with Atos I can!

Few reviews mentioned the 'light steering at higher speed .... heavier at lower speeds, which is the opposite of what we usually want". Like the review below .. although this reviewer said her test car is 'standard hydraulic'.

Was hoping the MDPS isn't so ... but I guess StarGhazzer would know better.

Will need some getting use to as my wife's Suzuki SX4 hydraulic steering is light at low speed .. heavier at high speed.

Added on March 13, 2010, 9:25 amStarGhazzer . would like to know whether the 2.0 MDPS needs less turning at lower speed and more at higher speed ... (speed-sensitive steering). Some conti cars has this feature ... thus the driver doesn't need to turn the steering much during difficult parking etc.

Tested NHC motor steering function, it well control.
Tested Hyundai, Avante MDSP function, it too light at lower speed b4 90km/h and it become more heavy feel or control feeling later at high speed.

Noticed SG forum said that Forte 2.0 owner at S'pore are request to downgrade from MDSP to normal hydraulic. The feedback is Korea MDSP yet meet the owner like requirement, controlling feel. But, MDSP is very good in parking step.

Personally, I not like the MDSP where driving lower speed, I need to use 2 hands to control my steering and not confident to fast pickup during 2 times test drive for Avante. Hope Forte MDSP better than Avante's MDSP.

That's the funny thing, forte's MDPS is said to heavier at slow speed, lighter at fast speed. Easily can drive one hand at 120 km/h, but parking need both hands (and feet).

i hv got my titanium silver did the same thing my head light.quite cheap only rm70 in kn.wats ur price in kl.really very nice like Audi.

Yaaaa...that's absolutely what i wanna do..to surprise myself Anyway..TQ bro ZubinKhan & grotesk for your 2.0 test drive review. God willing, our car will arrive in 1-2 weeks time..hopefully

Sorry if i potong 'syok', i rather it arrive on 22nd as i only will be back on 21st... haha... just for my own case....
cos really spend maybe 1 week or less in Malaysia only.... hopefully it can meet my timing... beside that, do u guys know that ou Bro Perry already cancel his 2.0 and go to BMW? so i'm now will need to travel alone to JB for the bodykits after collecting the 2.0...

So, you want to join together? to install the bodykit?? (if i'm free)

Just got a call from SA.. saying my 2.0 will arrive on next Monday! Not sure how true but we shall see!

arrive & register is 'huge' different situation...

arrive this Monday doesn't mean that it can be registered this Monday also right. Could u double confirm this matter with your SA? I believed that many 2.0s already arrived at stockyard & ready to be delivered. & yet, i agree with bro epo, arrived cars means nothing to us as a buyers if the cars cannot be registered & be OTR

okok~ sure! ahah

When my ipod connect to forte audio system, it's comes out a graphic like this (as circle), it is normal? Or LCD problem?

walla....nice laa.....where did u do it man and how much yaa?? thinking of fixing it too if within budget

its normal i think.

ford fiesta is coming to hantam T&H~
more and more nicer car around.. why malaysian still like to stick with T&H?? hmmm...

simply becoz they like the car auto-cruise without the auto-cruise feature. You will never know how's the feeling one.

Not sure about the speed-sensitive steering... I know E60 5 series have this Didn't really notice it with the 2.0 Forte as I've never felt any changes with turning at various speed.

To be honest, most of the Forte reviews are so similar to each other than you can almost expect what they would say. And no one really mentions about the minor cons of the car, which I've posted here and also on paultan's and themotorreport's comments sections. My comment about the steering feel could be subjective; some people don't really mind it at all. I personally don't think it's a problem but it's worth pointing it out.

Can't really say whether the 1.6's hydraulic is better than the 2.0's motor, although I vaguely remember the Civic having the same issues with their 1.8 and 2.0 models.

Steering feel is often a subjective preference. I can't comment on the Avante or the City since I've never driven them before I'd say the Forte is very similar to the Civic, albeit very slightly less direct and sensitive.
I've got no problems using one or two hands when driving heavy or light steering cars... although all drivers should always keep two hands on the wheel when turning. I know, we're all guilty of this at times.

normal... fancy design ler
