that normally happens if the key is left in the ignition, to remind you not to lock your keys inside the car.......take out the key, and the chime will stop........

however, not sure what's the situation with the push start ignition.........

But if I come down to KL for SP, no place to stay-wor. Any cheap hotels near Jalan Ipoh?
Is the SP really worth the trip? hehe...

maybank - 2.85
PB - 2.83

Wieeeeeeeeee.... I voluntered to be ur 2nd car driver, can kaaa bro? Heh

planning to buy 1.6sx, but need to ask a few Qs... currently Penang running number is pjn2xxx, and i want to wait for pjp. when will it open for pjp? when pjn reach 9999 or earlier than that? need to go to jpj the 1st day pjp open....

naza will give rm300 voucher for tint. where can use this voucher?

thx, hope to join the club asap...

My first 3 tanks were Shell 95 and then Esso 95 and i can feel that Esso is more powerful than Shell ... going to try BHP next ... really cant wait to go to BHP petrol station after reading so many good feedbacks

Finally saw a Black Forte at Afamosa.PJMxxxx Not sure is it belong to forumer here..

Yup bro, i am Penang Forte Kaki ... actually they didnt take out the door panel but just the top rubber part, the tweeter, the rear mirror and the third break light panel when installing. If you are interested in Security + Heat Rejection tint and dont mind doing it Butterworth, then i would recommend you Wingard Royale (highest range), JPJ compliance, GPS & Smart Tag friendly, and not to mention that they offer 10 years warranty, which only cost slightly more than some other brands with 5 years warranty (will PM you the special price for Forte members here). The workmanship is good, no bubble or rattling sound ... bro bbear did his 407 tint there too

What i like the tint most is the head rejection of Wingard Royale (side and back) and also the colour (slightly dark and non-metallic). We can meet and I can show you the tint and other poisons if you want to

can you plis pm me the price also? interested altho not yet a member.. hehe... can use naza voucher?

Yup will PM you the price, but only applicable in Penang ya ... no worries, everyone is a member here, as long as you drive a Forte to tint and tell my friend "Lowyat, Facebook Forum member" can already

BTW, what do you mean naza voucher? I the naza voucher is for other brand lo ... my SA did offer me security and heat rejection tint voucher i think its for other brand and not Wingard cos my friend doesn't deal with NAZA SA.

I tried to negotiate "discount" with my SA,
Since they says BIG no no discount on Forte,

Then, i tried to bs... "others dealer can offer bodykit as discount packages",
finally they offer free tint with TintMaster

Any Comment for the Quality of "TintMaster" ?
or... should i go for cash and take another brand (what brand n price please)?

Thanks

hahah 2nd driver seat taken ...

Bro, i think the best is to take cash if possible ... my friend who runs a tint shop told me that a lot of SA gives free V-Kool tint and claims that its top range, but in actual fact the lowest range or a different brand all together ... its best to do your tint at an authorized shop and dont let the SA do it for you.

cannot stick after HT fan boy come over burn the thread
we know good enough

i'm in penang lo... dunno what kind of voucher... the SA said can give tint voucher, fuel and forget what else... maybe those 2 only.. if cannot use at wingard where can use?

Oh i think the voucher is not for Wingard tint ... you may check with your SA, if its a branded tint (branded tint = those brand that you can find the authorized dealers in the official website) and the price is within your budget, you can consider it also

my petrol consumption seems to be a bit on the high side.. 10.7/100km.. i drove mostly 70% highway 40% city.. my trip now is 373km and left around 2/8 petrol... izzit normal or? my ODO now is 373km also..

Don't depend on the computer's FC display. It's usually off by 1-2L/100km
Calculate it manually:
1. Pump full tank
2. Reset your trip meter
3. Use up your tank (leave some behind just in case your car runs dry on the road)
4. Pump full tank again to see how many litres you have used.
5. Check your trip meter for total distance
6. fuel/distance * 100 = FC

ha ha.... I just back down from Pikes Peak and had to save my relative from their kaputted Toyota .... sheez. Anyway just to let u guys know Forte's AutoGearbox gear ratios are designed very well - for MOUNTAINS! yeh! if u ever wondered why we have a short 1st gear & a long 2nd gear now u know!

ic.. no wonder y i felt my forte can do better in climbing the hill compare to my previous city..
2.5~2.7k rpm can go up to 70km/h compare to 3k rpm previously. one thg bad is can feel the change of gear.. hahaha.. ofcos can not complain cos forte worth so much compare to a city or dugong

The ESC is always OFF..when u start the car..suppose to be On.
These are some of the defects which occurs in the Forte, not all but some
