I went to the Curve to check out Forte 1.6 SX, since I'm interested to change my car in the coming months. The 6-speed feels different than the 4-speed I test drove two years ago. I like it. My biggest disappointment is that it doesn't come in black anymore. Is that true?

QUOTE(fastandfurious @ Jun 2 2012, 09:20 PM) Ya lo, even when u press the panic button u only hear "hon hon hon" same sound like u press the horn. but i not sure how alarm will sound  Added on June 2, 2012, 9:24 pmNo regrets. Haha. I not gila kuasa. Can feel underpower when got passengers sit inside the car going uphill especially. Need to rev abt 2.5k (coz i still breaking in so dont dare exceed 3k) with 5 ppl in the car inclding myself. Cabin noise - i not audiophile so it's considered quiet for me, tyre noise quite noticeable ..but i blast my audio when alone. actually i have budget to go for 2.0 but i think about FC and driving in city, get 1.6 lo. hate to see fuel burn idling haha. like seeing $$ burning away. just my 1 cent. so far 1.6sx FC - 9.4l/100km. about 70% city , 30 highway. Not sure considered high or not Thanks for your impressions, so 1.6 is the better city car? You mean is not a sporty drive la?

QUOTE(fastandfurious @ Jun 2 2012, 09:53 PM) Im a very cost conscious person hahaha. So i'll monitor the avg L/100km actually. Anyway I'm breaking in so im keeping the rpm below 3k. Once done 1st service heard some sifu say can go higher. 1 more thing. Coz my car came with bodykit so yeah, dont dare to drive too fast over bumpy roads as well. Scratched a bit of the front part (BK luckily) not the car body when parking inside parking lots going upwards. Have to be careful lol. But 1.6 is sufficient for me. the rest of the $$ can go for higher end tint, poisons etc. But if u have $$ and dont care about FC i dont see any reason why you would take 1.6 over 2.0. Heheh, I plan to replace my wira 1.6 manual, so I guess performance for forte should be the same, or better la. FC is very important to me, but I like a spirited drive every now and then. What I do want nowadays is a comfortable car to drive through jams.
