never check yet coz never happen, maybe need to wait until 7.5 years before can get quotation.
and same with you la.. how often u change such parts anyway?

Cyber,

It's a pleasure seeing you giving the Korean another shot although you have a bad experience before.

Tht's the way to go. See what the current car can offer...not what the brand did in the pass.

The fact that the Forte is "hot" worldwide....so they must be doing something right...this time.

On paper the Forte's Theta II wins with 192Nm at 4300rpm and a similar output of 115KW at 6200rpm.
The Civic in comparison produces 114KW (6200rpm) and peak torque of 188Nm at 4200rpm but then again they are merely numbers.
The Lancer's engine is pretty much similar to the Theta II due to the World Engine collaboration. I wouldn't expect the Civic to smoke a Lancer though.
It's worth mentioning that none of the those engines above are charged so there are apparent torque dips in low rpms - the engine only comes alive at rpms above 3500 yet how often does one rev till that extent?

In real life you'll probably care more about handling rather than straightline acceleration; and for me who owns a Forte and has experience with the Civic (albeit 1.8L) they are more or less the same with the Civic feeling just minimally tighter and sharper in terms of steering feel.

However the Forte does loses out by having an inferior 4 speed autobox although there's the sportsmatic mode for more aggressive shifting.
The Civic 2.0 in Australia comes with paddle shifts for feel good factor but I'm not sure whether the ASEAN models come with it or not.

As stated before, Japanese and Korean C segment cars are more similar to each other than they are different. It depends on what you like and what you are able to afford. Right now the pricetag of the Forte is still pretty much the main attraction although it would be unfair to overlook the car's other great aspects.

u r dumb la cybermaster..can u stop trolling here..the weight of a 2.0 forte is about 1280kg..while the civic weights 1249.5..basicly about the same..
get out of here la vios troll..
plz do your homework first before posting dumb comments in here..u already made a number of enemies at paultan blog

Forte sales is low due to low supply la stupid.. go check out singapores sales.. see who is number 1..

Can u plz leave our lovely little forum here for forte owners..
u are the one who DIDNT NOT GIVE ANY FACTS. Did u give proper numbers.. NO. u simply stated everything. The curb weight of Civic and Forte is almost identical, no difference in figures about power to weight ratio.
In fact if u wanna talk about power to weight ratio do you how much power to weight ratio ur toyta has?

The new vios weights a significant 1100 KG!
Weight (curb min.) (kg) 1020 ~ 1150 (Depending on locale and grade)
Weight (gross)(kg) 1480 ~ 1520 (Depending on locale and grade) and guess how much HP the Vios engine churns out?

1NZ-FE 80 (109) / 6000 /1ZR-FE 87 (116) / 6000 (China)

lol..

Can u plz get out of here Mr.Troll

personally, i think from now to next yr, Altis sales are going up.
the new altis offers new super cvt gearbox, dual vvti engine.
and is toyota....so, kinda our forte sales will b affected

yea...hope new Avante will pull Altis sales DOWN.....booooo to T&H xD
and also hopefully Naza launch Naza Koup(Forte Koup) in near future....to beat down those ******* T&H

dude, you're not a fortezen and dont know much any latest development.
do you know how many still cant get their car after 4,5 and 6 months?

malaysia is a small market. lots of demand elsewhere also need to take care off.

SC sure will charge way expensive 1

another bogus bullshit claim by cybermaster again. talking without proper facts.. GTFO from this thread. Go bark at Vios thread instead of coming here. U dont like the forte..GTFO. 1.6SX here selling like hotcakes. Even in terengganu before raya there were bunch of fortes now all empty being sold out..booking list is getting longer but supply from korea is low. The forte is topping toyota in almost all countries (USA,SINGAPORE, CHINA, Africa countries), thats why the low supply to our country.

U should provide Toyota Altis instead of Toyota Vios, u shouldn't compare car which is diff Segment B and C.

Hmm...Note that the current Civic launched about 4 years back & if this is the case, why until early this year (on March to be exact), Honda Malaysia still needs about 2 month to supply the car (Civic 2.0) to their customers? It was produced locally (CKD) some more as compared to Korea CBU Forte (sorry fortezens for bring up this matter again..i have to). I dont think that Honda dont want to ramp up their production here to cope for the demand right? Or did Honda mistakenly gauge the response from the public? Not after 4 years of launching i think. Further more, new gen vios also launched few years ago but still my father need to wait about 1 & a half month for it (April this year). So there must be some excuses for that to happen to any car manufacturers. I personally dont think that it is purely all salesman talk.

at the same figure for forte (if fully synthetic). rm300 (fully synt + gasket + oil filter; inclusive labour and charges and free carwash)

what he meant by expensive if the price for engine oil in which cheaper much outside and this is applied to all SC.

http://www.nazakia.com.my/sedans/forte/maintenance

Fully Syntethic Synthium rm 209
GASKET-OIL PLUG Rm2.50
FILTER ASSY- OIL Rm16.19

SERVICE Charge Rm 102.20
* 5 % GOVERNMENT TAX Rm5.11

Total Cost Rm335

Naza SC provides free Car Wash everytime

Good..since that u uses your Vios for 7 years & servicing at Toyota SC, u should have the figure for the table below right? (Since i cant find it anywhere in Toyota's website). Kindly give your Vios maintenance cost pricing (from 1k to 100k km) to me so that i can update the table for the benefit of all [attachmentid=1805414]

If u are considering forte for ur wife, than let ur wife test drive it, let her the 1 decide wat she want, if u really love her.

No matter what facts about other vehicle u bring-in here, none of us care ( not to say totally dint care, just that we are already know mostly of the facts ), because we are already one of the owner of forte and we are proud of being 1 

why dont u get a new vios and a new altis la cybermaster..
