it make sense, Civic gearbox has different ratio. And civic is lighter too. But who will go racing with civic la. I dont remember civic driving fast, but honda city are usually driving fast.

2.0 liter car is too dangerous to drive fast

2.0 forte is about 30k++ cheaper than civic, with that much of money saved, who cares about who is faster in that few seconds?

seriously look at forte 2.0 as my next car. Too bad cant get any review on 2.0, all reviews in 1.6.

with forte around, its very hard to buy second hand car, all seems so expensive compared to forte!

if you go google, you will find Forte review are actually comparing with Civic, FOrd Focus, Mazda 3, Golf ( non GTi).

Vios and CIty is not a global product, and Altis.....well, nobody remember that.

Its time we use the internet to check review, not always compare everything with vios.

I can give you the link if you cannot find any review as i mentioned above.

With forte 2.0 here, i find it hard to make a point of buying second hand car

By the way, Civic is the best example of C segment car, a balance car, like a benchmark or yardstick.

When we compare, we only compare with the best, unless we're talking about proton mentality.

i agree, i heard from my racing kaki fren, a kancil 850 stock can win integra typeR in hill race.

cos the Type R owner sayang his car ^^ but i reluctant to believe la.

Who dares Wins ( go google)

wanna defend defend abit, based on what i read, not a current owner, hopefully future owner

0-100km/h - City wins a little bit than forte 1.6. ( the car so light, 1160 kg vs 1260 kg) vios even better, 1050kg only
fuel efficiency - city also gives better FC than forte 1.6 ( weight problem as above) vios even better
top speed - forte is 190 km/h and city 180 km/h. (how often you will/ can hit this speed??? ( then ma no need compare lo)

for a better car, heavier is better if it translate to safety design. Like more expensive car, usually roomier and heavier.

If solely fuel efficiency, vios would win. Surprisingly myvi which is even lighter did not get better fuel efficiency.

But Forte gives a more premium feel, for more premium feel, with same price, and more features, worths it i guess. The only drawback is after sales service no good. But even a perfect car like BMW also plague by expensive part and reliability issue isnt it??

the over all picture is , globally ppl put this car against civic, ford focus and all C segment car. That says it all

It is simply one notch above city and vios, if not for the same price, the Vs thing wont even started.

but if all civic,focus,mazda,forte all selling same price, no one would go for kia la. Dealer issue.

seriously naza should put their car against vios and city, by all having same sport rims and try the fuel efficiency test, since this is one of the concern of malaysian buyer.

Too bad naza is busy with peugeot, future kia, and naza italia. lol.

opps, my bad, no hard feelings ya, i'm defending to the point of the magazine, not shooting thanks for sharing and i guess i'll go newstand and read about it !

i tot satria GTi smoked you. Golf GTi is it.....ok la, price = 93k vs 200k , horsepower = 156 vs 200

yours are bang for buck already.

and you can tell the GTI owner, hey, your sister's car looks great!! very cute!! lol.

anyone care to have a review between 2.0 Forte vs 1.6 SX? cant find any review like this in the internet. Any car owner that can share this?
