For both versions of Forte 1.6, it uses hydraulic power steering which will give that kind of characteristics (heavy during stop/slow but lighter at higher speed). Forte 2.0 instead uses MDPS (motor driven power steering) where the electric motor are used to assist the steering effort. MDPS is designed in such a way that it usually gives the opposite characteristics than the hydraulic one which is lighter at stop/low speed (for easier parking manuever) & will becomes heavier at higher speed. Personally for not-a-raceboy like me, i prefer the MDPS characteristic  nod.gif

Yea exactly,i also prefer the MDPS characteristic..Cuz when i drove the Forte 1.6 ,i just couldnt accept the fact the steering is light at high speeds.Maybe its just me,but anyway,overall Forte is still a value buy car lah . smile.gif

Luckily the NHC also got this MDPS thingy or also knows as EPS in Honda vocabulary. It suits u well then smile.gif How i wish my Forte also come with the 5-speed auto-trans, paddle-shift & power retractable door mirror like your NHC tongue.gif

Hi, the basic calculation will be your total commitment (monthly payment to properties loan, car loan, personal loan, credit cards etc) should not exceed 50% of your basic salary. If more than 50%, very high chances loan will not approve.

normally around 1/3 of the salary den should be ok

take ur own sweet time check everything, open hood check if all caps are there, engine oil cap, radiator cap, etc...oil dipstick, once u drive out showroom, if anything lost they not going to responsible. Check odo meter, brand new car usually less than 20-30km depends, if it is too much and reasons they r giving is unacceptable, then u can shoot them for compensation. Cheers and welcome to the family!!
