considering to get Forte 2.0 or Sonata 2.0HS, any sifu can assist me to make comparison? the price different is huge (40k+)
- looking for comfortable riding
- use for office and occasionally local trip
- safety is must (family man)
- can carry lots stuffs, baby stuffs..

i have check thru on the interior and exterior dimension, found that Forte rear legroom is better than Sonata :-)

ur recommendation is much appreciated...

sonata sure looks great !! go for it! (If you dont mind the rm40k)

Quoted these test drive review from paultan automotive blog for Chevvy Cruze:


Quite a fair review i must say..so it is up to u to decide now. As for me, with the current specs offered by Forte now + its cheaper price..it's a no brainer  wink.gif

at same price, forte has 6 airbags. and its 2.0 over 1.8.

2.0 engine is similar to mitsubishi.

you trust chevy engine more, or mitsu-hyundai engine more?

and, hey, 6 airbags.....6.....look at your frens and family.... wink.gif

I kinda agree with the review. The thing about Forte is, the tire noise is pretty loud. Cruze is more quiet cruising at high speed. Handling wise, it's hands down to Cruze. Handling really not Forte... err forte.

Do you guys do any soundproofing? I'm afraid autofoam would void the warranty.

i dunno, but forte in my opinion is good enough, and it is very very planted. 80km/h 90degree turn is ok ^^

unless testing cruze and forte back to back in the same place, otherwise, its very hard to tell.

and, i dont see ppl drive fast through corner anyway.

cruze, looks good on the outside, not so good on the inside. forte FL strikes a good balance between exterior and interior.

actually the price differ because of CBU and CKD

forte sedan = CKD

forte Koup = CBU

the 18K differences is including tax.

better buy 308 thp lo.

the koup is not faster than that family hatch wink.gif

On the other hands, Cruze's body is sturdier with NCAP 5 stars ratings for both front and side impact.

Decision again biggrin.gif

Sorry 2airbag cannot get 5 star .

Malaysian are getting watered down version

Don't count on big and solid body to survive accident. You need whole package to survive.

Any how cruze or forte is definitely better than city or vios ^^

smile.gif got reason for ppl to buy Volvo too ^^

Some ppl buy car looking at maintenance cost , petrol...depends on individual I would say

Which are all a small matter ^^

But for me, the car only need to protect me and my loved one.
If driving pleasure, a second hand BMW can blow all below 100k car away ^^
Heck even neo CPs can do that smile.gif
