REPLY TO COMPLAINS :
1.  Wind mirror - complain was no wind tunnel testing ? FYI not all cars will get wind tunnel testing as part of design process. Normally this is reserved for high end cars which are capable to hit 300kmh or hybrids like prius. Honda also don't do such thing for run of the mill family cars. Also not everyone is facing this sound out of  thousands sold its less than 0.1% even mentioning this. if its real design fault we all will be having it.

2. Left steer - pls don't listen to lame excuses that shipping can cause car to pull left. I've tested left bank & right bank roads ot pulls both way. The reason is our MALAYSIAN ROADS are so special due to high tropical rains the roads have 100% more deg to international spec. That means our car will pull unless your Sifu Alignment guy adjust this for u. I've no problems with this as I send to my Sifu until it as near perfect. But in reality we are just trying to fool the car to go right even when the road is forcing it to go left.

Oh wow great! Now I really know not all the forte has this wind noise problem..anyways can intro to your sifu?

Hi taipan, I'm also interested in getting forte so hope you dun mind me reply this msg also ... Juz wondering where to change the camber nut and how much is it ?

For those of u looking for test drive the new forte 2.0 .... you can go to the branch at bangsar ... i was juz there in the afternoon testing it ... orgasmic i'd say biggrin.gif The rear camera is super neat !

1 thing though ... i gave my IC and driving license without saying anything .. and also signed the test drive paper ... nothing wrong right ? It's juz a test drive procedure right ? I read the paper before i sign and i'm sure it's just a test drive declaration thing ... but now after i come back only i remember i didn't actually fill out the form lolz ... juz sign oni .. they can't do anything with it right ? and also photocopy of my ic and license =/

Nah don't worry..it's the test drive procedure..too excited already huh! Hahaha wink.gif

QUOTE(gregy @ Feb 12 2011, 12:46 AM)
The FL comes with:

1) New 6-speed gearbox that turns a sluggish beastie into a refined cruiser that also saves a bit more fuel

2) Faster century sprint times and higher top speed

3) Bluetooth connectivity so you don't have to mess with cables

4) Paddle shifters so you can control those 6 gears more precisely, especially during corners

5) New design of shift knob and boot cover

6) Reverse camera built into the anamorphic rear view mirror

7) Refined signal repeaters on the wing mirrors

8) Electric folding mirrors

9) New honeycomb grille up front

10) Slightly larger foglights, could be better light output? I don't know

11) Year 2011 car so residual value is better

I think it's worth it smile.gif


Added on February 12, 2011, 12:47 am

The 2.0 Forte is 1,326kg while the 1.6 is only 1,261kg smile.gif
