I'm consistently getting about 9L/100km. Usually refuel about 85 bucks... About 45litres and mileage is about 500+.

Route is from Putra heights to bukit jalil daily, with jam on LDP in Puchong in the mornings.

I think the FC is very good for a car of this size.

Btw, mine is a 2010 1.6sx, hitting 60k km soon.

Nic, the 2.0 is worth getting if it's within your budget range. But if you are always in start stop traffic, the 1.6 will give you better FC definitely. Compared to my wife's old Vios which gave her 530km for rm75 then it will lose la but Vios is a Vios, and that car will give you no satisfaction at all besides a good Fc.. My scirocco gives me 550km with spirited driving for rm95, 680km with sedated driving for the same amount. So honestly, the forte's FC should be no concern at all for anyone.

I think I have no complaints about the forte. It might not look as good as the elantra but I think driving wise, it's better and it also has a better engine response. it's also spacious so you won't have to worry about carrying more people or groceries. I used to travel up and down kl Seremban for almost 1.5 years. No issues at all.

I think resale value isn't too bad. Just renewed my insurance and was proposed 61k for a 2 year old car. That's a 25% depreciation which I feel is acceptable for any 2 year old car. Mudah prices for 2010 car ranges from 63 to 68k

rclxms.gif thx giving such useful advice my frd.. but this is my first car..so i think i would choose 1.6sx than the 2.0 due to limited budget  tongue.gif

then the FC seems to be reasonable for such a big car.. the spacious factor is the factor for me to fall in love to this car..

just wan to confirm with u guys whether this car has many problems or not.. seems my parents doubt the korean cars quality coz the previous models are not that appealing.. but i do believe forte is a good car wit many positive comments in this thread..

thanks again bro.. scirocco is a nice car bro!  drool.gif  drool.gif

So far no problems at all on my forte. Maybe coz mine was early batch. Not sure about current batch but I don't see any major complaints so don't worry bro, just enjoy the car!

Yes the roc is excellent icon_rolleyes.gif thanks bro

You need to write on their fb page to complain, and also the Malay mail
