perhaps you should tell us your expectation on fuel consumption in L/100KM? Just don't expect it to be as good as vios or even honda city level..forte is a heavier car, C segment car and much of the FC depends on your right foot and driving conditions. One guy may get 6-7L/100KM but another may get (9-10L/100KM despite having similar conditions). But generally the FC I believe will not be that great unless you travel far along the highway often - on city drive just don't expect a good FC for this car.

I have said this to many people : if FC is truly a very big concern (may not be your number 1 concern, but nevertheless a big concern to you) - then just go and get a vios. Right now there's absolutely NO CAR that can give you better value than the Forte (in terms of non-national car - so not counting Preve here), so good FC just isn't something you would / could shout about here. Also there's also no car that can give you what the forte has in terms of features/gadgets/safety + good FC. If you can find one, do let me know tongue.gif

thanks for ur swifty response, im not concerning how good is the FC , just wanna know the numbers, driving a vios for 7 yrs palanning to get a forte. Still cant decide weather to get forte with new gps or the older radio.

I went it to NZ Galaxy (Naza Auto Solutions) at 12pm in Jalan 222 PJ on last Saturday. Everything is fixed in 1/2 hour. Radio reception is good now. They updated the software and told me to turn OFF all the 3 function (AF and etc.). Select EUROPE. 
You may call them at 03-79600400. Operating hour is 9am - 6pm (Mon-Fri), 9am - 1pm (Sat). They are very friendly.

looks like the new HU have a few problems with detecting audio files from the USB. Tried by putting 24 songs inside. First startup it will detect instantly... but after you turn off your engine and start back again, the HU will hang and display "loading audio files" and it will just be there forever till you switch off the HU and unplug the USB, switch on the HU and go back to "music" folder, press USB and let it show "no files detected", plug back your USB and let it scan again.

Gotta do this everytime. Meaning if u driving and stop by rest house and take a piss... then u wanna continue ur journey, the player will just hang.

the solution:

song/artis name not more than 30 characters
USB/pendrive recommanded use 8 gb and below ( format it to FAT) not fat16 or 32 just FAT. solve all the problems, it can replay to last song and duration u stopped when u restart it.
