If u wan really excellent FC, save up to RM140k for Toyota PRIUS...
If u wan in Forte terms of good FC, 1.6EX is the best for u... If u wan more performance, then 2.0SX.... If u wan best for price, then 1.6SX Added on February 15, 2011, 11:03 amby the way, FC always depends on ur right foot, brakes and accelerator... even if u uses PRIUS, maintaining below 50km/h, definitely uses petrol too...

If u r driving a C segment car...the Forte is certainly not the most efficient one...but it is definately not a "fuel guzzler". |

Turbo,last time during 4 speed, there is not 2.0 to test drive, i wonder if they have any now. got! it's 2.0SX 6-speed new car! i tested last week but i think thats owners unit lor... as its totally brand new...juz reached their stock hold... it's d ampang point branch.... Added on February 15, 2011, 12:06 pm QUOTE(fourteh @ Feb 15 2011, 10:37 AM) Hi, I think there is a problem with the 1.6 4spd Forte from the TTDI showroom! It was the first unit Forte I have tested & I was really disappointed when I floored the accelerator after coming out to Jalan Damansara from Caltex..... nothing oomph at all! Luckily I did not give up on Forte as I did not believe the car to be so bad. fourteh,After that, I have done test drives at other branches (Subang Jaya, Sunway & Naza Auto Mall) & found the the cars there performing better. Acceleration not quick mainly due to the 17inch rims Naza decided to put on the 1.6 which I think was a bad mistake! If they have gone with nice 15 or 16 inches with a 1.6L engine, the performance would have been better & more sales can be made. I am looking to buy a 1.6L Forte in the coming 3 months. Right now there may be other options around the same price range, i.e., City and Inspira, which may be better buys with branding, after-sales service, spare parts availability & bigger engine but my heart & head turns every time a Forte passes me by so I know which car I am in love with!  could be so...am looking around to test 1.6SX 6-speed any suggestion? d main naza at federal highway very lanci.. need to booking advance only can test but i looked at d test unit is d 1.6SX 4-speed only  although i heard there is 1.6SX 6-speed can be tested at puchong? correct me if i am wrong...

QUOTE(turbocharged @ Feb 15 2011, 10:51 AM) come to think again, its better to get 2.0 over 1.6? dilemma now Almost all Naza Kia branches and dealers in Klang Valley  kinda worry about FC in future, lol. or should i look at honda hybrid? but frankly speaking, 1.6 with 6speed is ok, wont complain much, wont let you wanting for more. but perhaps i should test drive 2.0 6 speed anyone know where i can test drive 2.0 6 speed?
