Dont ever buy the forte. I seriously dont know what the hype is all about forte??!! I am currently driving the Nhc so when i got a chance to drive my frens forte 1.6 outstation, i was expecting a good experience.

First of all, full tank was rm79++ which we filled in damansara. When we reached ipoh, it was half tank d. Half a tank to reach ipoh???!!! And i was doin 110 -120 km/ h all the while with total 4 ppl in the car. Thats atrocious fc. And my frens car is a about 5 months old, yet when i sat in the car, the interior feels like it has been used for 2 years. Even my Nhc at 1.5 years looks newer than his .

Secondly, the steering is seriously so bad, u feel like ripping it up from the dashboard. It has a silly rubber feeling while driving. Absolutely no feedback at all, and the stupid thing keeps veering to the left for no particular reason. Alignment? My fren tried fixing it but no solution until now. Seriously am not being bias, one of the worst steering i hv ever used in my life. At speeds of 110km/h i can feel that the steering is not solid at all compared to
Nhc.

Thirdly, pickup from say 90 km/ h is zomg terrible. The moment i step on the gas, the engine made a huge  fuss just to accelerate.

But no doubt this forte has good noise insulation, and all those fancy stuff like auto headlights, pushstart.

But seriously i hv been anti proton all this while, just this time, just for this time, i would recommend ts to take the inspira. It has jap dna and is way better than forte anytime, anywhr.

The koreans are on par with the japs now? Not even close!

Not me but 2 colleagues of mine who owned a ria and rio.
Rio - paint started to fade after 3-4years. Replacement part is very expensive
Ria - weird engine sound after 2 years. SC is bad, not able to rectify problem. Smore slow respond.

lol at this thread laugh.gif ....no need to compare much more tongue.gif

no doubt forte & inspira is a good deal..i think what most concern for buyer in Malaysia is
1) pricing
2) resell value
3) FC
4) comfort
5) interior & exterior design

how many crazy driver will go driving like a mad cow cornering with top speed?
majority will drive only around 100-130km/h in highways....

Current vote seems to be 313 for Inspira and 211 for Forte, seems like more people would go for the Inspira
*
yeah...inspira is people choice...but its does not mean inspira is superior than forte...for interior quality & exterior forte win (at least for me)
for perfomance, inspira might win.only with a little margin..thank to 4 speed for forte...
but if next year forte come with 6speed GDI engine (probability high becoz NAZA well known import car directly from korea...only change some minor part & claim CKD brows.gif ), that result might be changing....

this thread is so damn crazy shakehead.gif & ghey tongue.gif
just bought what you like lorrr....go & test drive what you want...every car have pro & con....some like more on performance.....so like more on style...

the damn truth is lot of uncle & aunties out that bought car only consider in resale value, reliability & FC only....they dont care torque/suspension/brake/or whatsoever
