I would suggest you to keep the stock ones rather you need to fork out extra cash for new
16 inchers with new set of tyres..

my car now clocking apx. 5,070km and my 90% city drive FC improved to avg 8.8liter/100km from max 12liter/100km before 4k km mileage..

i guess the 2.0 with 17 inch rims doesn't cause really bad FC thou..

Pls pm me best deal for Forte 2.0.
Thanks.

Thanks again. I'm very excited and looking forward to when i get it.

Hi!
I am too like you b4, getting all the right infos before deciding on the right car.
And bear in mind that I was willing to spend more on a Civic or Mazda 3.

BUT! I finally settled for the 2.0 Forte due to value for money with features. Some may disagree with me.

My Forte is now clocked at less than 2000KM. FC is going down from 12L/100KM to 10.4L/100KM. Im sure it will continue to go down with further mileage and more servicing later.

NO REGRETS!! In fact more joy and fun. 2.0 allows me to easily overtake any car on the road or highways in a hurry. Cornering is most steady and gripping. Engine noise is minimal. Car comfort is very good and feels thick.

ONLY COMPLAIN SO FAR??
Dont opt for Petronas engine oil from branch SC. After my 1st 1K service, the petronas full synthetic oil just turned the car a bit heavy on the pick up. Feels sticky in fact the engine.
I cant wait to change to Shell from authorised dealer SC.
Secondly, the stock tyre is really annoyingly noisy on any roads. But no choice until it wears out later.

Cheers.

raytech is quite expensive and I rather go for 3M, Vkool, Huper optic. anyway i tinted my little white with agard 695 with 95% IRR, just RM1200 coz got special discount. if you interested then let me know, I can let you know the way to get the discount from puchong agard.

i'm so eager to get this car. as usual, dealers or SA, please PM me

anyone experience the VSA activated before? This morning when I on the way came to work, there was a puddle of water on the road and I didn't take note on it and continue with the same speed; maybe 80km/h.

when I drove across the puddle, the car suddenly like braking itself and slow down for a second. Is this considered VSA activated? I didn't notice whether the VSA light got on or not.

This is new experience for me as last time I felt differently on my myvi where one side of my car will be floating in the air if I drive across such puddle.

fc is one thing...tyre price is another thing to consider too...
17" tyre..mahal skit...

btw...mine 2.0 can clock 500-550km...100% city drive....

received my car last Monday from KSLoh i'm sure most of us know how good and reliable SA he is, and i share the same experience like the others.
all in all, he's a reliable and patient SA (i had some difficulties with bank and jpj earlier). totally recommended to all

good day,

anybody with forte 6 speeder here change rims?
i plan to stick to ori 17 inch rims but at the same time need to change spare rim which is 17 inch also.. anybody here change the spare rim to lighter and smaller rim? what size of tire fitted? need to do this in order to reduce weight of the car.

tq.

Thank you for your komen. I read here that the SC won't let you bring your own enjin oil kan?
Anyway i'm a bit of a car newbie so i dun really know how to maintain a car properly and the difference between enjin oils haha.

Anyway, any dealers please pm me your location and number

can check his thread here

No need.

Most people downsize their rims to get a thicker one (50 or 55 instead of the stock 45) for a relatively more comfortable ride. However some do downsize for lighter rims for slight improvement in acceleration.

Generally speaking, FC depends on your right foot. If you use smaller rims but still floor the pedal like a madman, the FC will still skyrocket.

When your tyres lose grip, the ESP comes on. And yes, it does occur in puddles especially if you're accelerating through it and hydroplaning.

Try this on a rainy day. When you're at a complete halt at a set of traffic lights, get ready to floor the gas. Once the lights turn green, quickly depress the gas pedal at least 50% (or even more if you dare). The front wheels will lose grip and start hydroplaning sideways and the ESP light will blink for a few seconds as it attempts to straighten the car by cutting power to the wheels.

You can also make the ESP blink by turning into corners swiftly but this is way too dangerous to try it on normal roads.

Anyone noticed that the passenger seat (the back rest and not the base seat) shakes very badly when driving on uneven road? Mine is like really shaky :S

Hi bro.... can i know when you place the order and how long you must wait ?

Thanks !

fold down the seat, put some tape on the join....
sc do these to my car.
