QUOTE(Alfizzan @ Feb 28 2012, 11:00 PM) hi everyone... im currently looking for a car that is under 100k and some forum advise me to get this car instead of others... so im here seeking advise from the owners of this car... should i or should i not get this good looking car? how is the performance compare to spectra? any problem so far? If you want to see what issues Forte has - read through the thread, the common issues has been brought up a few times (alignment, minor noise, etc). Other than that, the car works just fine. I'm driving a 1.6sx and so far I have no complains (25,000KM closing in to 1 year now..).and i also thinking about taking the 2.0sx version... Comparing this to Spectra? Big difference............................ One regret that I had was why I didn't go for 2.0 instead of 1.6.. Forte is a pretty heavy car so 1.6 might feel a lil under power during pick up, but I love forte for the stability during high speed. Go and test drive all the cars below 100K so you can have a better understanding on how different they are from one another and also know why we went for Forte instead of other brands.. Cars that I know below 100k (Sedan, not hatchback or small cars) and I've tested: 1. Honda City (my 2nd option after Forte back then, but the waiting list was crazy long and it's kinda small for me... Forte, due to the design, it's pretty big and spacious ) 2. Toyota Vios 3. Proton Inspira 4. Chevrolet Cruze 5. Nissan Sentra 6. Mazda 2 7. Peugeot 207 There are some concerns around the 2nd hand value for Forte (since Korean cars are not as popular as JP cars), but for me the driving comfort matters most, don't really give a crap about the 2nd hand value... Cars, anyhow, will depreciate anyways.. Hope this helps.. |

QUOTE(jetpacker @ Feb 29 2012, 07:22 PM) hope to get a 2.0sx..but im afraid of the pull to left problem...new batches still got this problem? Hi, I just got my 2.0 white beauty last Saturday. So far everything looks good. No pull left issue for me. No noise whatsoever. Maybe 2012 batch better? One issue I'm having is the body kit. The doublesided tape not doing its magic. Brought it to the accessory shop this morning to redo EVERYTHING but just now notice come out again |

Try to collect your car earlier so you have more luxury time to check all the parts. Some defects is more obvious ample light. For my case, I just have bare time to check most of the parts, but leave all the plastic wrapped parts remain unchecked (where I presume no issue as it nicely wrapped.)....end up, found a long scratch on the leather handle after back home and removed all the plastics. |
