I wonder, will the 6 speed gear ratio of the new forte 2011 improve FC?
*
Theoretically yes, but in real life it'll only be known until someone drives it and calculates the FC manually. Read the following:

Again, FC is depedent on your right foot.
And of course generally speaking diesel engines nowadays are much more fuel efficient than petrol versions but that doesn't apply to Forte since there's no diesel variant.

i think my trip computer reading for average FC got something wrong, after adjust throttle cable.
sometimes high; sometimes low....but driving style same...
reset quite alot of times, still the same..

You adjusted the throttle cable by yourself or @SC?

the correct way to observe FC for your daily ride is leave it as it is. take the last reading before pump.
pump and take the last reading when fuel empty again.

there you will know your average FC for your car.

at 1st suspect due to car always park under hot sun for 24/7

but i did resolve the problem past 2 months.. by knocking some spot on right hand side on driver's area. now no more irritating sound like dashboard loose. tongue.gif

Went for first service today(1000) at Jalan Api..the only service center in Melaka

Booked at 2pm one day earlier but only managed to reach at 3pm..to my surprise one of the staff (i think the mechanic) did not want to accept reason being 'ada 4 lagi kereta belum siap'...wtf only 4 cars left but didnt want to accept then wat's the point for making appt?

At the end have to make noise and talk to manager only willing to accept...damn that also no chance to fix my car seat squeaking sound. was glad enough anyway to service cause mileage already 1.1k and wont be able to sneak out anymore this week for service

Only had petronas mineral oil..no semi synthetic..so have engine oil changed for rm60 plus oil filter for rm20.total rm80 plus free washing.not stock for oil gasket but the fella said nvm...can change next service.Is it ok not to change the oil gasket?and also the price is rm90 for petronas semi synthetic..is it so cheap?i normally use petronas semi syn for my waja and i remember the price is about 120..hmmm..anyone can clarify this?

Overall i rate this SC 1/10 for poor service and poorly equipped..will try to do my service next time in KL..previously had to tolerate all the nonsense from SA and now poor service from SC..dunno why they have to make is so frustrating to own a naza branded car...

But luckily the joy of driving the car can still overcome all the frustration from their poor service..the ride is good with the stock 15' rim..fuel consumption is about 15sen/km at the current ron95 price with mix driving..way better than i expected from a Korean make (my manual waja cps consume the same amount). those who still complain that korean cars are fuel guzzler are living in the previous era..

The sum it all up at the moment...good and economical car to have provided u can put up to all those bullshit from the SA and SC

Guys,

I just change my compressor as a warranty.

Just notice that the aircon when I put the temperature to Lo, both (passenger & driver) side are cold with the same amount of coldness.

If I were to put it at 22Celsius as what I always put, the passenger side aircon is cooler then the driver side aircon. The different can be felt a lot.

Any comment? Of it is a normal operation?

Regards.
