1.6sx, 7 years 10% downpayment.

Forte comes with no alarm? even on 1.6sx model?

i think the interest is different from different branch/dealer. when i asked the dealer from subang, she told me 2.5-2.6. now this one 2.43 is from Naza showroom beside federal highway.

the federal one already have FL, i just went there and play around the touchscreen HU, not really impressing for me. unless if FL u mean having extra body kit? correct me if im wrong

about the subang one, i didn met that SA from subang, but met her in carefour nissan booth.

hmm, full tinting include anti theft? is that an air cool or v-kool? or any reliable brand?

im thinking this offer from an SA from B.caves " foc bodykit & spoiler, led/lcd tv 19", gps 5", K logo, tinted voucher rm 400, sun visor, sand blasting"

both roughly same, but if the full tinting include anti theft is a quality one then i will go for sunway one. Btw, i think can negotiate to get 2.43 for sunway one coz they are dealing with the same banks...just my opinion.

yeah, coz the 19inch TV fits my needs, a tv in my room is always welcome . whats the exact location of that sunway one?

1.6sx

i cant ans ur 1st question, but ur 2nd question is simple. if u dont care about any gadgets, add-ons, safety and handling features, u can forget about EX. But if u want the best bang for buck and u dont mind to own the aforementioned perks, get the SX. Read the first post of this thread please.

wow, thats very good fuel consumption

Eh, who said Forte tak da alarm? it has alarm as tested in showroom. but maybe the alarm doesnt sound when somebody tries to break in la...................

i see, dishonest SA driving to give false information ....

i asked him, will the alarm sound when someone tries to break in the car, he said yes.....

hmm, is it recommended to get an alarm for forte?

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

how u control your right foot? you step on the pedal fully everytime stop and go? you should step on it lightly and in some case might no need to step at all if you in D mode and in bumper-bumper jam. try this and see if you can get better FC.

This "might" be able to be prevented if this Forte has good alarm. A good alarm which able to detect any vibration a.k.a lifting the car like this.

Guys, my interest on Forte is fading thanks to Elantra. Please give me more reason for not going for Elantra? Elantra is quite enticing - -"

Erm...im comparing Elantra 1.6Manual vs 1.6SX Forte. two things that Elantra wins is the dual CVVT engine and leather seat. both roughly the same price...

and one more thing, i dont mind Manual, and in fact i love Manual more than Auto, and i got no sissy legs, so dont argue about the transmission with me.

like i never jam before. im not the typical sissy malaysian spoiled by "everything near and convenient" lifestyle; car must park near to entrance, cannot even take a public transport, cant even drive a manual car ... etc.

Anyway, yeah u r right i have set my mind to Elantra based on that two main points, but what missing is the people's opinion, i mean true opinion, those that owned that car and giving feedbacks of its quality, FC, engine performance ... etc

u need to get straight of what u want from a car, from primary to secondary's needs.

And lucky u, im in the same dilemma too. But im still in the midst of researching between these two cars.

As far as overpriced is concern, it is a yes and no.
-Yes because all our cars in Malaysia are overpriced, especially Vios and City, and Myvi too.
-No because u have to ask urself do you really need those extra little features like paddle shifter, touchscreen HU, GPS, reverse camera ... etc.



Difference between Elantra MD and Forte?(im comparing 1.6SX Forte 85k vs Elantra 1.6Auto 91k)

Forte Advantage
-Features like what i mentioned above
-Electronic stability system(which Elantra MD lacks)
-Reliable and cheap maintenance(no info for Elantra in this matter)
Verdict
-Value for money

Elantra MD Advantage
-Modern and better design(subjective)
-dual CVVT, it means much efficient engine and theoretically good FC (Forte only single)
-Electronic power steering(Forte is hydraulic, correct me if im wrong)
-leather seat(u saved 1.6k++ here if u planned to do leather seat in Forte too)
Verdict
-Depends if you dont really need those extra features of Forte, this is a very good car for u.

by the way, if im getting Forte 1.6SX, it will cost me 85880 + 1600(leather) + 800 alarm, so total for me getting forte would be 88200. is kinda close to Elantra MD cost 1.6Auto already.
