accually i was pointing out....what if Hybrid cars with petrol tank EMPTY.....how can it run?? i knw Diesel as such model like 320d, CDi version of Merc are ...yes, better in FC....but contribute to environmental friendly, i still say Hybrid way to go...
the reason y i said PRIUS is better in term of FC, coz it only consume petrol from 'stop movement of the car to 50km/h....' beyond that ald uses electricity...while diesel powered vehicles still using diesel all the way...as like forever....yes, in term of petrol n diesel if fully utilized, diesel is better(and cheaper too, compare RM1.80 Diesel with RM1.90 RON95-lowest standard grade petrol)....so, if in term of long run...i would say PRIUS had better FC compare with any Diesel models...like in HW Cruise....how much you've to pay per trip from Malaysia-Thai(Perlis) to Malaysia-Singapore border(Johor) using PRIUS and TDCI/CDi/BMW Diesel powered series??

last more than 10 yrs without changing....claimed by americans n europeans..

You sure? You ask victim yourself?
I'm sure you just make your assumption

car got traction control or not, sure crash....y lambo n BMW crash?? both of 'em got traction control ma...

xtra features....can b as much as Forte 2.0?? tell u the truth...even Forte 2.0 FC n power can outrun Inspira...maybe on par...or maybe further..

u didn't mentioned came with stock or not either....u can ask 'em for a drag race...u knw forte club fb page rite??

forte 2.0 lost to lancer 2.0?
really bo

by looking at the Forte & Inspira fact sheet, Forte 2.0 claimed the 0-100 is 9.8s and inspira is 10.5s.

clear enough to say that pick up inspira is already loose to forte, mid to high end lagi no need to mention more liao la

btw, the overall interior quality of inspira is much more cheapskate than forte, the sound of door close is not as solid as forte, look at the dashboard...so boring...look at the radio and power window switch... almost same like wira

moreover, i hate the CVT gearbox, so laggy when driving at city or pick up, it just only powerful when u floor it and hold the max output of torq but end up with high FC

still love the conventional auto gearbox, like DSG but forte 6 speed also not bad, silky smooth and responsive and wisely spread of torq at all range of speed

Vote to FORTE !!!:peace: 
just my 2cents

You rather trust a blog than Wikipedia?

we nv said Forte handling bad....if Forte's handling system for 2.0, yes is good, coz under MDPS....even Civic n Altis oso lose to Inspira lo....the cars that can win are : FD2R n Ford Focus....gd luck Inspira, go vs both those cars....i bet 99.9% it lose to savvy n persona n gen2 n satria neo oso...handling perhaps might be 'bad' in ur case....but car still very stable...even my 1.6 @ 182km/h oso stable...car no wooble2....

1. 1.6 under 17'' rims, while 1.8 under 15/16'' rims....whose is lighter?? think la....try change to 15'' rims n c.....i bet 100% u can feel the true power of 1.6 engine.....is juz same theory as current Proton Exora, big body, small engine....
2. u can't compare the non-vvt engine with 2.0 engine of Forte....like u r comparing Ferrari to Kancil.....
think la.....1 is pure performance engine, another is economical....let me ask u la...B16A/B or 4AGE series engine or SR16DE engine....do their FC can b as gd as Forte 2.0's engine??? think la.....if u wan compare like dat....as well i get RX7/8 1.3 engine to tapao ur 1.6 engine.....wan??

I was refering to the system of MDPS...not the handling ....

yea....fuel economy might be QUITE good, but nt as good as 'FE' series of Toyota engine or any economical engine in it's class....'GE', 'B series', 'F series' are more to performance....even without VTEC or it's VVT tech, the engine block n design is more for performance type...try compare 16V 4AGE n 16V 4AFE....u shud knw the different, y 4AFE is still 1 of the best economical engine up to now....i had fren uses 4AGE 20V Blacktop stock 6MT vs my old 4AFE 16V 5MT.....cant even b close when comes to FC....

Just because it isn't interlinked, doesnt mean its not used in the Forte

Well to be fair to Forte owners, the lack of interest in buying a 1 yr old 2nd hand car could also be due to fear. Most of the ppl who sell their cars within the first 3 yrs do so because of accidents. That fear is increased especially if its being sold by 2nd hand car dealers instead of direct owners. We will have a better understanding of the Forte resale value once we've passed the 4 year mark since the launch when there are more 2nd hand units up for sale.

Yes the Jap's surely have better resale value. My 2003 Toyota Vios is still going for about RM 42K (original price was RM 74K+) despite being 8 years old. 

hmmmmm.. 179 - 145 = 34K difference..

might be the forte owner should reduce 34K also to attract buyers.. 82K - 34K = 48K OTR

errr.. no off topic la.. later scared vakasyun.. btw your vios 2nd value really damn good..
got any info on new vios? i mean the 1st batch dugong look alike one.

any reason given? very curious 

oh that car sold dy? damn, its a bargain, silver mps

fuyoh.. very good buy lah the mps.. assuming the car is in mint condition.. if the car is sold thru dealer, im sure dealer already marked up.. so owner probably sold the car less than advertised..
