Was looking around for the differences between ABS plastic and PU for bodykits and found this:

Heya Phil. I booked at Juru as well. My car has been parked in front of the branch for 2 weeks plus. First my SA said 3 days after downpayment. Then after that stuck at customs, then stuck at Naza HQ, then bank messed up, then car plate + JPJ registration. Going to collect my car tmr, so hope all goes well. ^^

Anyway, go get your loan agreement signed etc. then just wait I guess. And call your SA for updates everyday. :9 I think my case was a bit extra-long for some reason.

Edit: Mine is 1.6SX.

Finally the Kastam process is done, next is JPJ registration. Getting my car soon...smile.gif

Need some advice here about polish or waxing.
Once i get the car, what is the best thing to do, polish or wax? and how frequent each of them need to be (of course less frequent is better as long as can keep the car shining)?

Used to drive proton and never bother about these.

Cool. Yours is really quick! :] Not considering PPS or SierraGlow?

A few negative (but small matters) findings:

1. There is a obvious sound, even all my passengers heard that. Whenever i drove through bumpy road/ uneven road, we heard "tik tak tik tak" sound from the boot (even passenger from back row heard it from their back, thus i'm sure it's from the boot). Anyone experienced this before? Mind to share what is loose already that i can fasten it? Anyway, this sound doesn't annoyed my i'm driving in city always and not rural roads.

2. When i turn off radio and put the aircond to slowest, i hear "tik.....................tik................" sound from bottom part of the car, not sure if any one hear this before? However this sound is easily covered when the radio is ON.

3. The headlamps do have wapor when i wash my car.
*
1. I get a tik tak sound when on bumpy roads as well. First thought it was my door or belt. And my back passenger also thought it was the boot. But I managed to reproduce the sound by moving left and right at some seat levels, usually when the seat isn't so upright. Also more audible on hot days after parking the car under the sun. Dunno if yours is the same as mine tho but worth a shot I think. smile.gif
2. I have this as well I think. Should be what other owners have experienced, related to power steering fluid.
3. Vapor is normal like what Taipan said. smile.gif

Hey bro, how much did the stabilizer bars cost?

Sideway rolling of the car's body when attacking corners; eg when turning to the right your car's body will "roll" towards the left.

People, don't expect sports car like performance from the Forte. It is, after all, a sedan and not a sports coupe or a grand tourer. The Koup seems to have stiffer suspension settings for more confident cornering but as with most performance cars the ride becomes more harsh.

Oh yeah and this is nice... but bloody expensive.

Hi guys.....i have been driving my forte (1.6 SX, Clear White) for a week now. I have no problems with my car except this strange squeak/loose mounting kinda sound coming from the rear....i thick it is from the left hand side. Sound can be heard occasionally during uneven roads, during accleration from standstill or while reversing down a slope,gradient.

To be descriptive, the sound is like  the sound you hear from an old bus using a leaf spring suspension setup when it gets really old(krik,krik.krik). Of course it aint that bad. Just wondering is it from the seat, or the suspension. I dont think a brand new car can emit sound from the suspension.

Any specific area that i should look into guys? This sound is ruining the cabin that is really silent. I memang pantang bunyi.

Pls help, and pls add my name to the members list. Loking forward to a pleasant driving expeience icon_rolleyes.gif

Comments appreciated

Hi, I get a squeeky sound from my seat. Specifically from the backrest. Try leaning on it harder and move from side to side. This works for me to get the sound out consistently. smile.gif

Wow, your FC really impress me. May i know how many days it took you to reach the 655km? less than 2 week?

My 1.6sx, right after 1K service, i pumped full, then only can go for 372KM before i pump full again for 46liter. which means 12l/100KM!! I don't think i'm a heavy footer, just donno what happen to my FC.
However my drive is 100% in city (with traffic jams) and short distance drive, so it took me 2 weeks to pump once.

Hi phil,

That's about the same as mine. I get about 12l/100KM as well. Probably the PG traffic lor. :s

Think before I write? Maybe you should be the one doing so.

Kindly explain how spending more time with one hand controlling the wheel while being distracted by closing the window is safer than holding it with both hands, which is the way you should be.

Using your example, the auto-up window function would be much safer as you should be keeping your attention on the nearby cars rushing out from tolls, not being distracted by winding up the window.

Dudes, the both of you are saying it is NOT safe. smile.gif
