if you're used to driving a bigger engine capacity car / car with better power to weight ratio, chances are the 1.6sx feel sluggish.
was having the same feeling too after driving friend's 1.6sx forte. could be placebo effect 
more than enough for light and easy driving style thou.

coz heard that the warranty is like this

2 years manufacturer warranty

3 years extended warranty from insurance (allianze?)

then the whole sum insured cost more than normal. <-- this one dunno how true it is.

after a week surveying both city n forte forum...i cancelled my city booking n choose forte...the extended warranty really caught my attention.already send documents to sa n going to pay booking fee today. unfortunately no ready stock for white n titanium silver.

bro taipan, i sent back my car to check for that "thing".. charge me Rm18 says just relocate back the thing to its location without any lubricating. Should it be like this? and should i been charge for the RM18 since my car is under warranty odo only 9500km.

and Melaka Fortezen.. need your help! my FC average at 11.5-12.5l/100km.. normal kah driving at melaka with fc like this? Melaka town la i mean..

Hahaha..maybe u dont know him. I can imagine he will say his favourite fact that the fact is always be facts. Nothing u can do to change the facts (he will feel relieve knowing that u cant deny this type of statements). The facts that the Forte 1.6SX is more sluggish than his 2003 Vios is always a fact. The facts that he uses Vios E (just assuming by the price he provided before) with 109HP, with 14" rims (also assuming form the E spec Vios), with less than a ton in weight that can accelerate 0-100km/h in less than 10 seconds is also a fact. The facts that the 1.6SX with 124HP, with 17" rims, with extra 300++kg in weight that can only accelerate 0-100km/h in 12.5 seconds is also a fact. The fact that the rotational inertia for the 17" rims are far greater than the 14" rims by using this formula I = ∑ r(2)m = ∫ r(2) dm where r = radius of the rim (note that r value is to the power of 2) are also a fact. & what u said is also a fact..the fact that if the same Vios uses our 17" rims & with extra weight be put in, the same effect can be feel (or perhaps worst than the 1.6SX Forte)...at the end..no ending facts if u talking about facts with him..agreed Fortezens?..hahaha

Hi, the problem is that the Forte 1.6SX comes with 17" rims which is too big for 1.6L engine! Usually 15" for 1.6L (Mazda3, Altis 1.6E), 16" for 1.8L (Civic 1.8, Altis 1.8) & 17" for 2.0L engines (Civic 2.0)

If you put 17" heavy rims on the Vios, you will feel the same effect as the Forte. 

We've got enough 1.6 owners here who are satisfied with their FC and acceleration. You don't have to deliberately kutuk the 1.6 for the heck of it.
Don't you ever get bored? Just buy a Forte and join the party, you'll enjoy it even more rather than randomly rambling in our thread.

Getting 1 unit around December or January 2011... Woohoo...

I have test drive on Sunday, the car was awesome!

This is not a guessing game my corporate friend..it's a technical fact. Unless u wanna challenge Newton's 2nd Law & it is not my intention to find your fault here, but if u knew the Forte 1.6SX sluggishness is due to the weight..why bothering to ask question below? are u trying to provoke us?

Yupp..if only he understand your words of advice...

Yup..agreed with u that he always stating facts & most of his facts are undeniably very2 good. I respect him towards his facts & in fact i like most of his comments in the paultan blog. Only the way he organizing his words that makes many feels bad & sometimes sounds provocative & disrespectful to others. I think that's why most commentators in paultan feel sick with him..not becoz of the facts he bring in, but the poor phrase that he put in. Sorry bro CM98, maybe it is my 'kiddy' nature to cynically tease people like u 

Cheers!

Hermm.. Kinda high isnt it? The only dealer that dares to take in a forte right? not sure whether its 1.6sx or 2.0. But im sure the dealer took at 60K++?

WTJ XXX when was this? almost 1 year isnt it?
ANother thing interest 2.8%??? WHatt?? Can refinance the car ah like this? Cuz i got it at 3.2%

1.6 also can hit 110MPH (176KM/H)

what is the current interest rate for imports car?
forte interest rate for 9year?
thanks

KIA FORTE RULES!     

Guys, I heard forte price drop. true? and what's "EWP"?
