power wise obviously a 2.0 engine is better. the forte 1.6 has 126hp on a 1270 KG curb weight (if not mistaken) - similar to waja - i would say that's sufficient, but as I said, 2.0 will definitely be better - if you can afford - go for 2.0. Difference in features you can see the main page, there's a FAQ written by me on the differences. More importantly, waja is using 4 speed gearbox vs forte's 6 speed (2011 batch onwards) so your pickup should be somewhat better and not to mention the 1.6 SX has paddle shifters - if you need more power without pressing the accelerator so hard, you could keep the gear longer around 4-5k RPM before upshifting - that'll give you a fair bit of power to play with. Don't underestimate paddle shifters thinking that it's just a gimmick - it is useful for overtaking. I use it pretty much everyday to overtake cars rather than pressing the accelerator harder to "tell" the gearbox to downshift, i do it myself.

Bro thanks alot for the advise...i checked the catalog..i found that the differences 1.6 & 2.0 is just leather seat & auto cruise..leather seat i can wrap at acc's shop...auto cruise i think i wont use much.
so after reading what u write...i think i will go for 1.6 but of course if i can afford 2.0 as u say i will go fr 2.0....
just to understand more on the paddle shift...correct me if im wrong...let say im driving in auto mode...than i wan overtake car infront..is it i just push the gear to manual & press the (-) on the paddle shift & overtake? or just press the (-) paddle shift no need switch to manual gear? Thanks
