No more Magentis name.... It shall be known as K5 in Korea and Optima in the rest of the world.

Welcome to the family, bro.



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.

hi bro
i read a lot of 1.6 milleage
hw bout 2.0?
what is the average fuel consumption?
thanks

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.

I also experienced very bad sluggishness and thought it was something to do with the ECU (the car didn't like to downshift). I took it to the service center and got the throttle cable tightened up and suddenly the sluggishness was gone (at least most of it). The tighter cable sort of made the car more responsive.

The interesting thing was that my FC went from ~8L/100km to ~10L/100km for normal driving after the so-called "tuning". I suspect that my right foot became "itchy" after the car became more responsive

It won't be as lively as a lightweight Vios but it would not be that kind of feeling like it "can't move" at all, especially small hills, etc (assuming that's what you meant as "sluggish").

taipan... bring cybermaster jalan2 makan sup kat dorai with your whitey...

8-9l/100km = HW
11-13l/100km = city
9.5-10.5l/100km = 50%HW, 50%city

Mine roughly like that. Just for reference.

wah lao ur FC so low? haha, maybe I am heavy right footer. But your FC is comparable to 1.6 or even better

I am currently using Petronas Ron 95 and I noticed that the fc shoot up like rocket. I used BHP before is much better.

use ron97 for 2.0.. better.. ron95 in my car the engine knocking is very very bad.. + the sound and vibration coming from the engine is very loud.

I change to simota air filter got improve the FC and acceleration of the car
wanna do proper grounding and some good VS. heard improve FC on some cars.

Hi bro Adin, think think think, I think still will go with 1.6SX Clear White. Now only want to think whether want to downsize to 16" or not????

ya, same question with Adin, how much u bought the filter? interested, keke

last weekend, i went along jln kapar (klang), 16 inch rim seem like quite less choices, and they quoted me ard RM 1-1.2K including rims & tyres and my current millage is 13k, don't worth it or not. But 17 inch rim seem vy vy nice and alot of choices


Last week so unlucky, kena caught by JPJ, because of dark tinted, but luckly managed to escaped without treat any kopi, haha...

You won't regret your choice ....

As for tyres...I personally think you should try out the 17" before you decide whether to change. Got to admit that the handling "turning feel" was so much different....now I know why people like to choose low profile tyres

Anyway, after ~8 months I got too annoyed by the harshness and noise so I changed to 16". I traded in for second hand 16" rims (some scratches but not dented) and added in RM1.5k.

Difference between the two....215/45/R17 and 205/55/R16. It's about 1% larger in diameter...


These Michelin tyres are awesome...highly recommendeed

Hmm so many good reviews about ron97.. I think I wanna try it one day

juz remember lo....RON97 good at cruising H/W...not for city/town(with exception of KL)

why not for city..acceleration improves alot.
