I see so many Korean Warrior, die die protect Forte, here until I tempted to test drive Forte again to day...
I feel the same conclusion: I DIDN'T choose Forte is good option!
1. As Jalan54 say, it is not CVT. Gear and engine is the most frequent item used for driving a car. So, it is very important, not all those gadgets
2. It is too much of gadgets, it can be useful rarely use, but it will contribute to pain when maintain it. Especially, korean electronic item that have not lasting. I wonder how much need to spend to replace it few years down the road.
3. Non of the SA can convince me on the resale value. Only say "You see so many Forte on the road, so resale value will higher". But, I answer "once upon a time ago, I see a lot of Sonata on the road too, but the resale value like hell", then they just smile and keep quiet. Some say second hand value not important, but this will contribute how much you can pay for next car. I don't want next few years when selling the car, I still need to fork out pocket money to pay to bank to clear the loan.
4. PPl always comment Plastic interior, what wrong with the plastic? It is just kind of interior design that you like or don't like it.
Resale value for proton is more worrisome. Just look at waja and wira. My friend's 70k waja, year 2003 worth 20k now. The T and the H badge worth 40k+ for the same manufacturing year. The korean make has improved so much. They could sell at a lower price than the japs make. Proton? rebadge a japs car and continue to stumble and cover lotus's loss? Btw, between forte and inspira, i'll buy forte.I feel the same conclusion: I DIDN'T choose Forte is good option!
