forte kakis,

what is the FC for 1.6 & 2.0? and full tank is how much based on ron 95?

Anybody changed the stock 17" rims to 16" rims for better fuel consumption? What rims do you recommend.

It is bumpy. If you expect a conti feels, you bought a wrong car

Nvm, still can modify many things to improve the ride

Changed to 15 or 16" RIM will more comfort.

i'm using it for 1.9 years...

nothing to complaint except 2 things :-
1. can't lock the car when the engine/aircond on
2. humming sound tyre

the rest tip top... go for 25k service this thursday...

I don't expect it to feel like conti car..
juz that i feel it's quite bumpy even when travelling at low speed or going over hump..
furthermore, juz got a baby.. hope can get a more comfortable ride for her..

since forte use the smart keyless to turn on the engine, what happen if we go outside with the key during it turn on??
engine still running...or mati??

still using the default tyre now, if not mistaken is the silverstone 1..
maybe after the tyre goes bald, plan to changer to a better one..
do you think changing to 215x50 R17 will make the ride more comfortable and able to absord the uneven road better?

but then, u won't be able to lock the door using the smart key.. only able to lock by the occupant inside the car.

Since we're on the topic of complaints. They should have added a door lock button on the centre console like what I saw in the Pug 308. More convenient for the front or rear passenger to access the lock/unlock function in case the driver needs to leave the car unattended for a while. As it is, the front passenger has to reach all the way to the driver's side to lock/unlock the car. A bit ol' skool.

Also, I would have preferred multi-link or at least McPherson struts at the rear instead of torsion beam. Handling a bit iffy around the bends.

Lastly, the GB is quite reluctant to gear down during descents. A bit dangerous esp when taking a downhill bend. There should have been an "L" position on the gear stick to allow us to switch immediately to a lower gear. It is not so much a problem for us 2.0 6-sp users as we can immediately downshift with the paddle shifters, but for the 1.6 owners they have to switch the stick over to (+ -) mode to gear down. I don't see why they had to take that function away from the 1.6SX. Of all the silly things they omitted from the 1.6, this has got to be the silliest.

sometimes i feel no matter what tyre we change, but with the crappy road we alwiz feel unsatisfy

so the solution is......change the road?

if change to this; avoid the 5yrs warranty or not??

Thanks for sharing. I think (1) is by default, (2) can change the tyres, so means no major issue..

hi, i am interest to buy a forte for my wife.
may i know what is the main different between ex & sx?
im over a bit budget with sx, if got discount then will be ok
just want to compare & see which ex dont have & i dont need.
thanks for help...

^ If you compare the technical sheet, you will notice a lot of obvious difference already. Have you looked at it? It's on the first page of this Thread..

Once you've reviewed it and you have some questions then ask them here.

Are you sure there's no paddle shift on the 1.6? All the new 1.6SX's I saw have paddle shifts (unless they removed it in newer cars).

BTW, I'm using 4-speed Forte, and I don't have experience driving the new 6-speed .

1.6sx 6-speed got paddle shift

what he mean is we 1.6SX need additional step (move the GB to right) then only can use paddle shift unlike 2.0 no need to move the GB ....

to me, i treat this as special action like going into sport mode .. somehow i enjoy it although it is not so convenient

Agreed
Didn't agree coz prefer spacious boot. So far current handling enough for me...
I never use AUTO when drive out of KL, so no issue to down shift the gear...
if use AUTO always eat smoke... AUTO use for in KL only...
