Guys i wa thinking to get forte either 1.6sx or 2.0sx.
But as i knew that the performance isnt that much different right?
yhe main thing i concern is the fuel consumption? 6 speed provide good fuel efficiency? Doest the care really have 6 speeds excluded reverse?  Around 140km/h what is that rpm? 3000?4000?
*
performance?? different ALOT!!! get 2.0SX.....worth every single penny...worth every single slice of dust!!

FC :
City driving : City wins(that's why named Honda CITY)
HW cruise : Forte wins(that's why Honda City only meant for CITY drive)

The only advantages of Honda City to Forte, is City driving FC and resale value...that's all..

1. JNS is 1 of the show room available for Forte..
2. 6spd shift better than 4spd as in less jerks...if u do notice, 4spd's ECU combine both engine and AT's control.....means 1 ECU controlling both, while 6spd got 2 seperated ECUs for engine and AT....and that's for 1.6SX/EX....not sure bt 2.0, while 4spd uses korean Kumho tyres which is noisy, coz the thread is not suitable for malaysia...easy said, while 6spd uses silverstone, as is malaysian manu tyres...is more quiet...according to tyre shops i survey, 17'' rim starts will b more noisier than 16''-12''....and 6spd NVH is better than 4spd.....
3. rattling noise ..cant say much la...can't say 1...depends on luck...till nw, my car is still quiet....very minor rattling noise can b heard....very soft and little sound...noticable when switched off a/c and hu...running on uneven roads....
4. ask the sales agent urself....sometimes, nid to 'negotiate' ..

no phelix, u dun get his point... in certain areas, he's right....

previous post :
*Hi want ask all owner,

Is the maintenance of forte exp? and FC is it good.

If compare 1.6 SXi forte to honda city, what do you think is better?

Thanks*
City wins in FC that's for sure, BUT as in CITY drive....that's the point he's right...
City accelerate wins to Forte coz of P2W ratio....that's his winning point..
City wins in resale value....that's also his winning point...
as was comparing Forte with City...last question in which 1 is better....well, above 2 points are the keypoint to CITY

but he DID NOT mentioned which point Forte lose to City right?? and of coz....since when Forte came with SX'i' version?? not existed at all....hahaha

as for *juz wait a few more months, can get cheap cheap forte*.....he's right...dun forget we're in Malaysia, as Malaysian mindset still on T&H...so that's about resale value

i dont think is because kumho tyre, becoz, i had change it to michelin pilot sport 3 and the tyre roaring still there.

sometimes is quite annoying..somehow i feel, my last myvi is much better on road noise compare to forte 2.0 6spd. no kidding.
but other than that, like wind noise. of coz forte a lot lot better.

p/s: after receive a car, i straight away change rims/tyre smile.gif

R34, try change to comfort soft tyres, not those sport type of tyres...sure sport type of tyres offer more noise than soft tyres, as they hv more contact with ground, better hydroplan, better wet grip...n dun forget, tyres worn out faster too....

there's no perfect tyres....
comfort+quiet = less safety/grip, as wet tend to be trouble....
Safety+grip+noisy = less comfort and very noisy, ppl dun like 2 sit in it....

u can choose lor.....obviously if wan get rid of those noise, switch on air cond speed higher, or with audio on....dat shud cover overall noise....no matter hw good ur car's noise insulation was, the tyres noise will always b there...

get cheated by dealer in Sg. Puyu..
I made a booking on 1st August 2011, for 1.6EX Forte and I trade off my car to this dealer in order get new Forte. The salesman agreed that once the new Forte arrived then only I trade off my old car to him (one to one exchange).

After two days, salesman called me that he able to give me new Forte in
a week time and he wants my old car since he want to sell to a customer and he promise that my new Forte will be arrived in a week time. Base on trust, so I trade off my old car to salesman.

On 15 August, he said that he not able to get my new Forte. I was so angry and want him to fulfill his promises. Finally he informed me that another dealer has stock BUT this dealer wants payment RM500 to get the car and he wants me to pay for RM250. This is ridiculous! Of course I said NO. Finally he agreed to solve this without extra cost.

On 19 August, I got to know that both dealer doesn’t has the car and they want me keep on waiting until September.

As a customer I am so unsatisfied! The dealer made lots of
empty promises to customer. At first, they said I can get my new Forte in 2 weeks so I can sold off my car to them and now they area saying that they can’t give me the car until September!

Dont ever trust your salesman.
