ahoi! fortezen! i'm really interested to be apart of ur clud,...but i'm still wondering of the comparison of VIOS VS FORTEVS CITY. but let's put tat a side!

anyway i'd really like to know more bout the car after it's been touch down on road for some time??!!! (feedback)

any problems? i really luv the overall of the car, i've tested 1 n loved it!driving it felt much better then a Vios or City! but i'm considering it for long term as i'm trying to buy a car for me and my family. 

please advice. thanks

1st of all, a reminder AGAIN....compare cars within the same segment....Forte is C segment....Vios n City are B segments, not even close....even in US, Forte is ranked only 0.02 points below Civic n way above Altis and Mazda 3.

it is the best bang for buck car in Malaysia, you cant find the same build quality, specs handling n safety in any other car in the same price range or some of the more expensive ones.....no problems if long term (the same car got 7 yrs warranty in US n UK)....so far only issue is the alignment setup which is not suitable for Malaysian roads, but rectifiable in SC....other than that, there are no problems....minor noises will be there...the car NVH is so damn good that you can hear even the tiniest noises in the cabin n some of the bros here dont understand that fact and raising the issue as a defect, but it is not.....it is a car for gods sake....full of mechanically moving parts...there should be sounds, it is not a spy submarine to be completely silent...

your wiring are loose somewhere....go to SC and ask them to check....it happens if car go over bumps or potholes and some contacts come loose...
