yes, go research on other cars in this range. acceleration power is all about power-to-weight ratio. High torque is generated at a particular 'sweet spot' in the RPM band.

I think the problem u're refering to is the huge and heavy sports rims for 1.6sx. Some feel the initial acceleration not so good bcos of that.

not a problem for me. at first kinda feel the lag. now the ECU already learning my driving pattern.
so guys.. "teach" your ECU on your driving needs.

My friend took a short test drive in my forte 1.6 and he was surprised with the acceleration power.  tongue.gif He was also expecting low torque due to small CC with big chassis.

This feeling is subjective to individual. Go test drive it and u'll know it for urself.

I very much agree with ur statement. I'm a wira 1.5 SE driver, migrate to 1.6sx, I would say its totally different feeling, very hard to describe unless go test drive..

not 100% settle but at least improved from earlier...

before :
a) airbag indicator always 'on'
b) alignment to the left... to the left...
after
a) 100% solved
b) alignment 99% solved

for me alignment is so subjective (depends on the road condition)... but after has been fixed by mr arul, at least improved although not 100%.
before :
pull hands off from steering, straight away steer to the left
after :
pull hands off from steering, still in a straight around 50m before turn to the left or right... ok la tuuu... maybe road conditions... (kalau nak hands off from steering until 10km, kena install 'knight industries two thousand' punya ECU la pulak...)

Its such a surprise to see when Korean car designer stop copying other car design and comes out with own design, it is actually better.

I dont own a forte but i like it very much. kudos to forte owner.

problem is still alot of people will said korean car copy this copy that.
sigh...

hmm..can anyone give their own review on the forte?heard the 1.6 was kinda not up to expectations especially on tlow end torque.somewhat just adequate. i'd like to hear real comments from real owners..fc and nvh..pls share guys.
*
i have given my review a few months ago.......the 1.6l IS slightly underpowered, and yes there is a lag when pressing the accelerator.......but it really depends on your reference point..........mine was perdana, so of course a 1.6l engine pulling 1.2 tonne will feel underpowered..........

search my posts in this current thread, and you will find my comments on my 2.0...........

nvh is excellent so far, better than my perdana, but then, that is a 14 year old car.........

fc, so far on 100% city driving, it's 10.2l/100km on the computer..........and i calculate based on usage so far, it's going to be about the same as for the perdana........haven't finished even 1/2 a tank yet........ biggrin.gif

This is what Im talking about earlier! Some of this installer really not so experienced, or they careless. So best u ask them take out assembled back properly.. Dont think its fair if ask the SC to fix it back UNLESS u have no more faith on the tint ppl. nod.gif

mine after 3 times full tank always get 500km for 45 liter... manual calculate not by the auto one...
so around 1l/11km... city driving... 70% shiftronic, 30% auto...
unable to test FC on hway since need to wait to balik kg at kedah during next school holiday...
