That bad? We be driving in the city most of the time including daily traffic jam to work every morning. Do you think is not advisie to get this car?

Like i said, if u want good FC forget about this car, it wont give u good FC in city for sure...if heavy traffic can go 10-11L/100KM for sure..dun dream on good FC with this C segment car, heavy weight. Vios will suit your needs more.

Depends on what you call "High fuel consumption".....

I'm driving 1.6 SX 6 Speed. I'm constantly stucked in traffic jam (staying in PJ and I always have to travel during peak hours), so I would say it's about 70% city driving 30% highway (go outstation on weekends)

RM65 bucks petrol can go about 350-400KM (Sometimes I had to stop somewhere waiting for ppl so obviously it'll burn more fuel), which is about 10-11L/100KM..

To me, this is not high as I was driving a proton previously and the petrol consumption was higher than my Forte..

agree, my wife 2011 new myvi also 11L/100km in short distance to work and alot of traffic light along the way.

i go to my office from home is only 4km+/- or 10 mins, with traffic lights and slow moving traffic.
highest i can get 15L/100KM lol..mine is 1.6sx
for highway i can get 7KM/100L when i drive at 150-170KM. if drive slow can get about 6.5/100KM.

i think fc is about saga blm, last time a trip to my hometown will cost RM26.xx to refill to full, forte about the same.

is your figure same as this calculation?

for example, forte full tank is 55 and total travel KM is 500km. so 55liter divide by 500KM = 9KM per 1litre.

ic, so myvi fc is normal too..i tot it is really so godlike..
bro, your wife car usually got stop or idle?
i got bad habit, which i will watch 2-3 mv before i go into my office/home.

New Forte question , the window at driver seat is it fully auto with a button pressed ?

Auto down (press to second click) but no auto up..

but I drive Myvi 1.3 on highway with 11km/hr, I get 16.5km/L which is 6.1L/100km.
If drive 80km/hr, the fc can go up to 20++ to 25km/L......... So, it is depand on drive nad road condition.
My normal daily drive ia long distanc, about 35km from home to office.

So on highway drive @ 110km/h, Forte 2.0 could easily match that MyVi FC figure of 6.1L/100km..hehe & that's done with the 4-speeder...

i think FC is very subjective one as it depend on driver heavy foot or not..
myself have try before :
110km/h on plus from KL to Johor : FC 6.8 - 7.xL / 100KM
KL (non peak hour) 8.x - 9.x/ 100KM
KL (peak hour) 9.x - 11.x/ 100KM

all base on manual calculate
ps : 1.6SX 6 speed

yes it is very subjective but usual driving to work won't really yield good results unless you're travelling on highway with little to no traffic jams. compare this to driving a manual car or myvi, i think myvi will definitely get better FC due to better power to weight ratio of the car and engine as well.

i would not recommend someone forte if FC is really something important....

i suggest to be light on right foot, dont be so harsh on pressing the pedal. a little slower acceleration is always FC friendly.

Yup you're right. I've gotten as low as 9L/100KM for city driving on my 2.0 before. But thats a one off... because I just love to hear the engine RAWRRRRRR

drive slow sure get good fc or drive steady lightfoot at about 90-100 km/h..but its hard in KL cos of the traffic...u drive steady then some slowpoke end up in 2nd lane even

i haven't seen Frostlance online for long time

Agree with u
Looks a lot better than those DRL.
But not sure whether it can last long or not?
Any warranty?

are u forte owner or .......... u regret buying Forte?

so conclusion does forte come with alarm by default?
