Can anybody "poison" me on the SX version? cause those features in SX version don't really important to me, except the ESC, i would rather go for EX...

Very easy, SX ada gaya. Steering feel wrap is leather, feel very nice. Sport rim. If you have the moneh, go for SX.

Why we have the PULLING TO THE LEFT PROBLEM on ALL CONTINENTAL CARS
OK... time for me to explain why continental cars have the Pulling to the left problem... Don't ask me to rectify the problem because I am in no position to do so. Not even the local distributors can do it. Just understand the problem and do what we can from our end...  You see guys, these CONTINENTAL cars are made for left hand drive... Not right hand drive... So, to make the car right hand drive, they have to take the left hand drive model and modify it... All continentals are made that way because the market for right hand drives are too small to have it manufactured that way.  When the car is LHD, it drives on the right hand side of the road. Roads in Europe are slanted slightly towards the right for the water to flow away when it rains. All cars are made to pull a little to the left to compensate for the slant, which is a standard bushing part used. They don't have the bushing for RHD models. Don't ask me why... they just don't have it.  When the cars are being modified to the RHD market, plus our roads are slanted slightly towards the left for the water to flow away, we get a big pull to the left. This applies to ALL European cars as they did nothing to overcome this problem.  So, the only way to rectify it is to go to a good tyre shop who understands this problem and get them to toe in the front caster so that the car feels straight. My car feels straight on an even road but there is still a slight pull to the left when the road is slanted, especially on highways.  Generally, I am happy with this, as this is the best they can do.

i've been explaining this to members until the cow fell down....... hahaha
it just is and like is recommended get a sifu to kautim for you ....  thumbup.gif

We could take it as a safety feature as well. Since its pulling to the left, let say we have a sleepy driver and he decide to fall asleep while doing 130km/h. At least the car will pull to the left and hit some trees on the road side thus reducing the chance of head on collision. Saving life of other innocent drivers. (let say he's not driving on a highway lah and not in crowded area)

Hi Guys,

Anyone here using Helix Ultra 5W-40 (full Synthetic) with their Forte 2.0

For those with Forte 1.6, do give your comments as well.

I noticed that the engine is slightly noisy. the sound seem to come from the rocker covers. (ketek ketek ketek....)

Any of you experience the same thing?

5w-40 is quite thin and to compare it with 5w-30 is quite minimal difference.

Need to confirm with other 2.0 here on the sound.

the sound consider gla gla gla or ketak ketak?

2 types of gla gla sound
1. if uphill gla gla is pinging sound need to go back ECU upgrade cause the ignition happened to early.
2. gla gla only when aircon is on need to go back check compressor if bad need to claim warranty.

The sound occurs during idling.
