the 2.0 also ppl say feel a bit sluggish.. but mine the LE one has more pickup..every parts are the same except for different ECU tuning.. the malaysian cars ECU are tuned for FC not for power lol.. u can shift the gear to the left (Manual Mode) but dont control the upshift manually, just leave at that position to enter "Sports" mode.. u feel more power in this mode

I just tune my 2.0 ECU to the LE version (as told by the SC). Feel much more powerful when pick up but the fc seems went up a bit....

Naza SC. I asked is there any latest version of ECU setting? They said nope, but only the LE version one. (They just gotta the new computer software from KL the day before I did my alignment, mine in JB)

Then you will upshift at red line everytime sweat.gif

For those who want power, just keep the rpm at 4K where the peak torque comes in... but seriously no sane person will drive like that.

First clear pic of the right-hand-drive Optima... I'm sold.
Then again I prefer the ones where the speedo is in the centre and flanked by 2 other dials, rather than this version which has the multifunction screen in the middle.

And oh yeah the 2011 facelifted Forte now has the Optima-styled gear knob and it tilts to the right direction for shiftronic...

for 2.0, please try vpower 97, it's a different world altogether from ron95.

i've tried so many different brand/type of fuels.

Even VP97, different petrol station different power. The one at NKVE subang exit is not bad.

Yes, it is metal contracting sound that coming from exhaust. Once you switch off your engine, go to open your engine hood. you will notice where is the noise came from (watch out for hot surface).

This also happen on BMW certain models. According to them, it doesn't matter. but you could try to ask sc fix this if you find that is annoying.

send to SC to relubricate that thing.

to start your car, press the button once. then press again for 10secs (without pressing the break). it should start.
