thats what i heard. seems like it depends on the SC whether they want to say its void or not.
do i need to make an appointment or can just walk in?
but i my case the rattling sound mostly comes from the centre. somewhere around the clock or above the HU
for my car, minimal sound comes from the door, but can hear very clearly from the dashboard. as if something loose inside the dashboard.
yes, considering pioneer or kenwood HU at the moment.
*
erm u need someone to drive ur car for u and find the sound le, i think is those plastics or the mount that's giving the sound

QUOTE(stevenc68 @ Jul 25 2012, 12:10 PM)
You got the 2.0SX diamond silver with the new HU? How long u wait? From what I understand, no stock for 2.0 Diamond silver. And I think Naza not really producing becuase low demand compare to White or Titanium Silver.

Other brands cannot get 2.0 below 100K leh... almost want to give up already and buy preve....

Hi, i saw some ppl got commend regarding the auto trammission. Actually i m thinking to buy a car, i have tried honda, nissan and forte, of course the forte's price is affordable for me. but i tried test yesterday, i found that it will delay to shift gear very obvious and the sound like my old proton wira. i wanted to know is is normal or got any issue regarding transmission recently?

I kinda dissapointed, especial the sound very noisy when i pedal and the salesman said because it will make you save petrol ... i very speechless and wanted to verify, can pls advice?
*
which gearbox u comparing to? you must compare apple to apple bro, if im not mistaken (correct me if i'm wrong) our gearbox is similar to those sports gb not CVT gb. honda city is using CVT gb which gives u a smooth transmission that's why you cannot feel the delay.

QUOTE(asrulz @ Jul 26 2012, 03:38 PM)
Forte got electric car version right? sure can drive peacefully ... can hear the birds singing outside..
*
lolx i'm driving at 180km/h only hear wind noise, tyre noise and a lil bit of engine noise, i believe if birds are singing, i can hear them.... tongue.gif tongue.gif

QUOTE(jscleong @ Jul 26 2012, 04:45 PM)
The 2nd service should be 5,000km or 10,000 km? a little bit confuse.
*
if u use fully syn it should be 10k but i thought now all new forte are recommended to use fully syn? hmm.gif hmm.gif

A bit disappointed with the new HU. thought can play videos from my iPhone. so far can only get to play audio. even the video can hear the audio cannot see video.

in addition, need to plug iphone into a different port located inside the globe compartment. don know why design like this. why cant use the usb port in front.

so far dont have problem with radio no signal.

bro mind taking pic of the HU u're using???

if i'm not mistaken it's output is 55w cause that day i dunno saw at where.....

QUOTE(bennedict82 @ Jul 26 2012, 11:55 PM)
I think this car is worth to get, but after read thru the forum, looks like the fuel consumption reported by user is not consistent. Some said 6liter can up to 100km but some has 10-12liter for 100km.

I consider this car, but worry about this because average I will travel 70-80km per day. Many of you have experience and can you provide me the detail as below related to fuel consumption?

1. fuel consumption liter/100km
2. Model of your car 1.6EX, 1.6SX, 2.0SX
3. age of your car.
4. Any modification that make your car fuel saving?
Appreciate your advice.  smile.gif
*
1. ranging from 8 to 11 / 100km
2. 1.6sex brows.gif brows.gif
3. 1 month
4. nope

so far i've done 400km for rm82 litre of petrol shell, i've tested with petronas and it's lesser than shell around 340+- dunno why

driving style mid to agressive driver.... right leg got problem not stepping hard on the pedal.... rclxub.gif

QUOTE(kennysik88 @ Jul 27 2012, 08:08 AM)
my radio reception quite bad even though i turn off AF and set to Europe. Does change to digital screw on type will help?
*
it's the same if u change to europe or others, you can see only the america channel has a slight difference on the freq for the am, other than that i dun see any difference
tonight i try cabut my antenna swap with my myvi see got any difference or not hmm.gif hmm.gif

haha....in normal city drive ...i didn't 'berat' sangat.....mostly 40 ~ 90km/h......if at the highway....berat juga....average 140km/h...... biggrin.gif

By right 60highway should be get a good FC.....how come you oni can manage get 400km/h ???
*
normal city avg around 60 to 100km
highway no need to say liao..... 140 to 160km avg and if full straight reaching at max 185km/h
i like to know le.... perhaps i stuck in jam for some time..... so the fc quite high

QUOTE(bennedict82 @ Jul 27 2012, 11:41 AM)
Thanks for letting me know. I am same as you. Need to travel to Island everyday. Earlier I try to get Hybrid Car.

For Insight, the price is a bit expensive, maintenance expensive, but not really save much fuel 5l/100km - 98k
For Prius C, the battery is too risky, cost 11-12k and 3 yrs warranty only - 97k.

That's what I am thinking to get Forte and seek for your advice.

I am thinking if really fuel consumption, perhaps change the tyre to light weight 16'' will help or not. Or maybe just get EX version. Also 52 liters tank is really heavy to carry. Perhaps, should not pump full but maybe 30liters will be good.
*
go for toyota's innovation of hybrid cause it's a full hybrid system. for honda is a semi hybrid system.... not so fuel efficient. go for honda crz!!!!! tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif

depends on driving style i guess.... like mine always 'kaki berat' sure drink petrol.... 16" definitely will reduce ur fc by a bit....

I have no idea about this gb stuff, does you mean that forte is more powerful? I dont know whether the test drive car did not do well the balancing or alignment, i can felt that the steering was free and easy to went right, which made me not confortable to drive faster and test.
*
as far as i know it's more powerful than those cvt gearbox, i think high speed will be better, the steering will be firmer when u go on higher speed

Thanks for the reply. only 800x480? aiyah that means i have to convert the videos.... tot dont want to convert.

BTW, anyone experience tat the boot lever underneath your seat - u need to pull really hard until the end then ur booth will only open? i tried and tried cannot. then one last try i pull really hard and all the way up then the boot can open. scary. Also the button on the remote doesn't seem to working properly. Have to press  few times then the boot can open.

mine dun have the problem with the boot but have the problem with the fuel one, but after sometime now seems it fixed itself.... rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

Luckily my princess fav movies are all in AVI. Now she wants to go sit in my car and watch the movie. Dont wats the difference between watching on TV vs in the car. But all my fav is in 1280x720 MP4. haiyahh...

Hmmm... then I think need to ask the SC to check during my 1st service. Coz seem cannot detect the signal. and i see also the light on the remote doesnt show when i press on the open boot button.

BTW my car also got funny sounds coming i think from the dashboard esp when the road is uneven... dont know whether wan to fix it or not. scared they open up later become worse...
*
lolx agree with u, minor sound i think i also duwan to go through the hassle of fixing, scared later worsen the things

what to use to clean stubborn bird drop on my car? mad.gif  doh.gif

Already sent to car wash, but the remain still hard to clean and afraid will effect the bodypaint.  sweat.gif  cry.gif

i use this Speed Detailer
works every time like magic
now u see now u don't !!! rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif

it works well for bird poo and any other special residue like tree sap but not tough stains like mud or road tar. tough stains needs polish, get something like soft99 use a bit then clean off.
