Should? Just go for it..

Hahaha..cucuk bro..jgn tak cucuk

Yup..better upgrade to 2.0. But u have to bear the long wait..but surely it worth the wait

Me myself have to wait for more than 4 months last time. & i heard that got others who wait more than 5 months for the 2.0. So i think it is true..at least for the 2.0 Forte. Naza surely cannot cope with the demand for the 2.0, maybe due to lack of supply from their principal (KIA Korea) coz of high demand worldwide.

Lately, i notice that there is no showroom car for Forte at the Old Klang Road branch. & so happen that i also dropped by at the Naza HQ few days after that with the same situation (no Forte showroom car), only got the test drive unit. So i ask one staff there where's the showroom car..& he said that "semua showroom car pun customers dah angkut". Meaning that there is no Forte left in their stock for the time being (& yes..including the 1.6). They also not sure when the new stock will coming in. I dont know whether the same situation applies to other branches/dealers..

Perhaps KIA wanna send here the facelifted version?..so that's why they put the supply on hold for the time being..who knows??

When the time arrives, u might get attracted to the new Avante or Optima instead

Kindly dig the table below

PM me the link

Wise decision bro..& lucky to the new Forte owners to get the extended warranty. Just wanna stress to u that..the car is worth the wait..be it 2.0 or 1.6

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

Yupp..my 2.0 FC are more or less the same as yours but still with stock air filter..thinking of changing it to simota very soon

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?

Hehe..another kiddy question, what's the point of u knowing if the current users have the same feeling of sluggishness as well? Wanna proves your sluggishness point? Ohh i remembered..your wife wanna buy a car & the 'biased' Forte is one of the car listed..my bad now..put the Forte out of the list & kindly stop rambling here

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!

I'm not installing it yet..so i reserve my comment on the reception first. But as far as other VG Sharkfin users review are concerned (from the first group purchase), at least the reception is as good as the stock antenna (if not better). So i opt to try it...

Good for me then..mostly listening to Malay stations & sometime Mix/Hitz FM

First time looking at the sharkfin out of the box, i also think that it is quite bulky. But when i try to place it on the Forte rooftop last nite, i found that the sharkfin is well proportionate to the car at the end

Go & get 1 for yourself

Bro..i've read the installation manual. Seems like installing the sharkfin at night is not a proper time for the 3M to stick well to the cold roof surface..unless we use a hair dryer to warm up the surface first for a better bonding.

Yesterday i try to find alternative double sided tape (3M Premier as suggested by someone) at Ace Hardware but unfortunately they dont have it. Did u bought other double sided tape that can stick well than the stock 3M tape?
