dun mind pay more to order but hopefully enough to fit la

dun want to use motorbike size spare tyre

Tested 1.6hs and 1.8 with 2 in front and 1 passenger. Not really full test drive but purely to test and feel on the acceleration.

1.6h.s acceleration seems sluggish from the beginning but picking up in later stage.. yup underpower. My myvi1.3A easily win from 0-100km but personally still feel better then forte 1.6sx.
1.8 is much more feeling like driving a C-segment car and slightly better and responsive like myvi feeling but really don't feel vroom power on it. Still can bear with it.

Interior wise, in common, hand break really feeling cheapo as mentioned by some earlier. Door close sound does not really feel sound solid when slam the door... i prefer more solid sound and feel high class with that sound haha.


1.6sx, interior as expected, basic one. Leather is okay. 1.8 Nappa leather really nice. the look and feel is 1 grade upper than 1.6hs.

SA offer extra rm500 on trade in car, rm500 on tint, full tank, smartag and tissot watch if book by this week. They can't promise any better deal as they don't even know their commission at the moment...

In short, don't really feel a deal breaker at the moment. If would like to purchase, i will recommend 1.8 or go for forte 2.0.

anyway, i will not make any purchase as 1.8 is still slightly higher with current spec to me. 1.6 underpower

Beh tahan of all those comments, so i did it! i hope to send these to SD now~~~

Nice one but not sure abt the gf part.

oh cuz mine love Lexus so much!!! is time to dream and to believe price will drop soon

Thinking of choose 1.6std, but wondering if i wanna install the reverse camera like forte.... will it void my warranty...?

Hello All !! Just wait for the 2012 i30 PLEASE !!

wat is i30

huh ? cut around it will make the tint look cacat or not ?

u mean autolight sensor also located at the same place as rain sensor ?

seems like i have to drop my super dark tint dream liao.

1.6 Manual Standard RM86,888
1.6 Auto Standard RM91,888
1.6 Auto High Spec RM96,888
1.8 Premium Auto RM111,888

this price is really pulling a lot of potential buyers far far away.. As one of it here..

me 2 =/

now in dilemma either waiting 2nd batch or buy forte now....number plate also tend to go tender edi...

shake hand* yet so many hype about value. i guess the only thing forte stands for is cheap.

Was molesting the 1.6 version at Citta Mall just now, looks not too bad

lol bro

since when ~100k consider cheap ?

then those proton 40-50k? dirt cheap?

if follow malaysian automotive standards, yes. since we have gtr and panameras flocking the road.

Tinting don't adhere well to the black borders of a windscreen, the part near the rear view mirror has like a protruding border so the tint technician will cut a piece to go around it.

Light sensors are small diodes anyway, so even if you cut a small hole around the tint to compensate, it won't leave a gap that's overly offending.

This might be what happen if you have tinting interfering with autolight sensor. Tested on a Starex. Windscreen cannot put tint that is too dark anyway, JPJ not approve

Hyund@i i-ioniq is gorgeous, a FluidicSculpturED concept car

Back to reality, in BolehLand, Hyund@i suffered from some strong external factors which may not found in most Europe and America market. Hence, buy the car you like the MOST based on your wallet and PERIOD.

Life is SHORT !!

thanks bro for the explaination...

Live in Penang Island for so many years, not even seen a JPJ road block before, from Georgetown area to my house.

So JPJ not approved is not an issue to me
