er guys my fren got an offer from a SA.

it's now 2012 so if the SA offer 2011 model with free insurance worth 2k + while 2012 model with no free insurance..

is it a good idea to take 2011 model for that 2k +?

I got the same offer as well, imho not nice.

BTW left 3 colors only to choose now? So sad

Metal Bronze no more isnt it ? And the insurance that is supposedly free, isnt it supposed to be free as the bank will buy for us ?

They're talking bout OTR insurance.

The colors left white, silver and titanium silver

Ya sad, I'm previously considering Metal Bronze or Titanium Silver. But I guess it's easier for me to pick now isnt it

BTW is the pull left problem still here for 2012 batch ?

no worth to get 2011 model with just RM2K discount; depreciation is more than that when sell it off.

BTW, how forte owner solved the pull to left issue? can be fixed permanently or not? what is the 2nd value when compare with insight?

gregy solved his... PM him for details...

insight now for how long OTR? do you want to wait another 3 or 5 years before you buy either one?

by then, new model come out. and do you still want to ask the same question and waiting for another few years?

hey guys, jz curious to ask. what are the stock tyres that came with your car? i had silverstones n honestly those wheels are bad..they are not perfectly rounded.my car was vibrating quite hard at high speed. resolved when i changed to yokohamas. appreciate ur feedback on this

everyone is getting silverstones after 2011 i think. mine also vibrate at high speed around 120

air pressure not enough maybe...
me no vibrate even on 180....silverstone also...

i am putting 220. yours 240?

wah, forte depreciation value high ar?
how many %?

any improvement at the road noise? how much damage?

my stock silverstone, can reach 170 without vibrate.

if i change to 215/50/17, does it brings significant comfort difference than our stock 215/45/50.
if not i better stay at stock size.

not to say forte depreciation high. what I mean is better to get 2012 stock rather than 2011 stock, coz RM2K doesn't justify at all for 1Y depreciation.

mine came with Kumho KH17 when i bought in Feb 2011 (6 speed). As I know later / current batches come with Silverstone, possibly due to complaints on noise from Kumho tyres but Kumho tyres that was given are more longer lasting if not mistaken.

went to tire shop, he jacked it up n let the wheel free spin, can see the wheel spinning slightly off center. says quite a few forte owners came by to dump their silverstones for michelins or yokohamas


road noise is relatively low on new tyres, just the vibration at about 140 onwards on d old tyres which are now resolved.no damage really (im still at 2k mileage so thank god i swapped them out before they spoilt anything else)

current tyres are using yokohama 205/55/16 (i own a EX not SX)

Forte value sure still lower than T&H, but in term of korean car resale value from past few yrs(from spectra time), had been increase significantly.....
2010 Forte 1.6 SX cost close to 82k, but after 3 years (2012), still can sell around 6xk.....consider quite high...

and KH17 kumho tyres are build for wet grip....that's y it's so noisy due to the tyre pattern of the tyre....according to few tyre shops i asked around, they said those tyres which build for grip during rainny days like PS3, F1 Asymetric 1/2, are more noisier than 'old man tyre'..which means soft tyres which offers more comfort n less noise...for example yokohama C-drive, falken ZIEX.....i've used kumho tyres with stock rims for 2 years, still around 60% left thread....around 34k kilomileage...

Thanks for the sharing...I am still thinking on the payment part..budget montly installment is ok, but worrying about the maintenance mileage more service more expensive...TT

u mean this???
