haha... bro.. i've done this b4, check on my thread... will give u some help... BTW, suggest u go for Forte ...XD

Forte +ve
-bigger space
-better interior
-Start button
-bigger boots
-safety (1.6 2 air bag ; 2.0 6 if not mistaken) vios only 1 wif J spec. n so da crash test is 4/5 star for forte , can't remember...XD

Forte -ve
-sometime"yit yit " sound coming out from seat /door ( can easily fix by adjusting da seat n seat belt)
-only electronic assist steering for 2.0 ( depend also, some prefer this ,some not)
-side mirror cannot fold by pressing button ( some ppl dun need this.)
-resell value???? ( i dun think so... getting more n more forte on da road, mayb vios better but i can say forte also not bad in da furture)

vios +ve
-gud FC ( i feel not much different, my fren driving vios, full tank 400-420km... lol??? depend how da way u drive)
-better pick up ( light mah .... drive safe pls)
-higher resell value ( bcoz its T ... depend how u feel... however u sell any car will rugi many... 5k / 7k lost 1 yr not much different since u able to bought a 80k+ car.

vios -ve
-interior very KOSONG ( this point is enuf for me to give up vios)
-exterior wif trd kits kinda nice , but i sit inside... not outside.
-ppl say driving over 120km/h da car chaking like sampan. ( but i think its ok ... coz its not bmw n benz XD)
haha... actually got many many more reason... while i open treads.... ppl scold me y compare fortre n vios... different segmen car.... like downgrading forte use to compare wif vios.... sound like forte higher class... so wat u waiting for .... forte lah.. XD
*
dude, i dun think so for ur forte -ve point;
for month of aug, forte only hav 450+- units registered.
if u said the resell value not bad for future, they hav to sell more. not to mention new waja lancer going to launch soon, forte will facing a real big challenge.
since volume of forte is not much, this also will limit their spare parts availability, in case the car break down or accidents, i'm sure everyone will hope their car get repair asap and not waiting the spare parts from korea. imagine without transportation for days or weeks, unless got 2nd car to cover.
u lack of 1 -ve point, 2 years/50KMs of short warranty, not to mention naza service center is poor. since the new car is 80K+, not 800, the buyer should deserve better after sales service and warranty.
i not so sure about ur 1 year lost 5/7K??? dun joke with me that u so sure forte only lose 5k/7k in 1 year. look at kia's "brother "hyundai avante, 2 years car selling 50K-60K...

for sure car will depreciate, but since this vios and forte can be consider as non-national budget car, i dun think every buyer in this category will be happy that their $$$ get burned easily...
unless u buying a new bmw or merc which hav lots of money to burn...

btw, not to say vios is perfect, as it got other -ve points also, but if u still like forte, just buy it...

edited: 1 thing i damn hate about naza, since Rondo is here, but they still selling Citra @ 60K++... this is not fair for the earlier buyer who purchased @ 80K++... imagine after 5 years, forte2 is here, and current forte selling 60K++ also... sweat.gif
hope naza dun repeat the same thing...

try imagine 2012/13 vios wif dual vvti coming out.. who else wan vios which used bout 2-3 yrs time ... try predict how much u gotto sell da vios u bought at 2010/11?
*
if everyone hav the thinking like u mentioned, then all go for new car, all 2nd hand car dealer ma close shop?
if u still insist wanna talk about advance tech in car will help to boost value for 2nd hand, previously there is a lot brand with high tech but suffer on 2nd hand value...

LOL...

there is enough real case scenario like u mentioned, just spend some time and do some research on malaysia's car market... our country market is a bit unique, so dun think is so simple as u thought...

Ill give u an assessment:

Vios

Pros
1) Excellent fuel consumption - 13km/L (city) and 15km/L (highway)

*
btw, ur vios FC seems so so only... my FC for 55% highway, 30% town and 15% heavy jam also can get 15KM/L...
not yet try 100% highway, i assume should not be problem to hit 17KM/L or above for highway...

aiyo.....easy la.....simple answer for TS's thread......

Forte vs. VIOS....
Forte wins in everyway....EXCEPT!!!
VIOS wins in FC, resale value

Forte and VIOS...consider C-Segment car in B-Segment price.....
and dun u all think VIOS's price is abit too high??? and also specs not as good as Forte...
*
sorry u may miss out another point...

better after sales support also, how long ur forte being repair after accident? based on ur signy, still waiting for parts right? sweat.gif

if TS need to use the car regularly for work or study, how he/she gonna to proceed if meet an accident? just a small accident, ur forte may need 1 month or more, but vios just a week or 2.

if wan compare segment, better go for new inspira den forte... thumbup.gif
