yeah, my 1.6sx is giving me 0.16cents per KM which i think it is pretty good compare with my myvi at 0.12cents but no fun to drive myvi at all.. lolx

By the way, I told the SA to transfer my 55% NCD from my old car to new forte but when I collected the car, the insurance policy that I got is stated 0% NCD. Although SA already upfront deduct the 55% NCD money for me but I wonder how can I renew my policy for the next upcoming year with 55% NCD? Will the SA forget to do the transfer for me and I have to paid the insured amount with 0% NCD?

thx



yes interested to know as well.

i just called the new insurance company and confirmed that NCD has been successfully transferred fro my previous car

To all 1.6sx users,
do you notice that when u full turn your steering; either left or right, there is an ZZZZZZZ sound; seems the pump can't suck the power steering oil, is this normal? I dont have such sound on my previous myvi which is equipped with hydraulic power steering as well.

Is the turtle safe cut scratch remover good?

ask for shorty in auto garage sales, he sells around RM280 only if not mistaken. BTW i installed loctech from him at RM320.

Thanks buddy for the confirmation. In the user manual, it says dont make a full turn for more than 5 seconds so I think occasionally is still alright. thx

For those already apply costing on your forte, do u still wax it? I have DIY the permanon coating but seems like wanna wax it to make it more shine or as an extra protection

thx for sharing, I just know about this.

erm... if got chance, I'll try it. open the car with key and see whether the alarm will be off when I start the car. if can then should not be a problem.

yaya,
some ppl ask me why not get altis coz better FC then I told them 112K - 86K = I save 26K if get forte 1.6SX.

let's say Altis FC is 0.13cents and forte FC is 0.17cents = save 0.04 cents per km

every month I travel around 3000KM which equal to RM120 saving (or RM1440 yearly) if i choose altis

but for the 26K saving, I can use that money to pay the extra FC for another 18 years...


sound better right if we think like this... lolx (my humble opinion only)

if u worry the warranty will be voided then just ask them install the locktech but dont connect the wiring. I did it such way too.

no kacau at all .. coz it will be installed at the most top area so it is fine with me; i am 175cm

last time i also got such concern but it can be eliminated.

1. either ask the foreman install in such way that no room for the brake pedal to press so the car will not be started without unlocking it.

2. or like mine 1 where above step cant stop the brake pedal 100% then I went to JJ buy a hard rubber (those put underneath the table/chair legs to stop noise or avoid scratched) to place on the locktech surface that contact with the brake pedal so that the gap can be filled.

I solved this issue with less than RM10 (DIY), now my car cannot be started without unlocking the locktech, some more no worry about the warranty issue since wiring is not connected.

if you want to know the negative comments or issues then you can go to myforteclub forum under a section which is called technical issues if not mistaken. there got many issues that ppl posted up.

anyway no need to worry much as forte so far only got minor issues

- like alignment (can be fixed),
- rattling noise (so far mine 1 is still good at this moment),
- bumpy for the rear seat (none of my passengers got complaints),
- 1.6sx underpower (this is very subjective coz whenever there is a more powerful version then ppl will tend to say the lower version is underpower; anyway I'm fine with it and paddle shirt is available for downshift the gear to overtake other car)
- high FC (mine 1 is 50% highway and city; so far getting 0.16cents per KM (ODO 5K now), hope to get better FC after 20K service)
- long spare part lead time (no comment yet)
- bad services (for the 1K service, I'm quite satisfied with the SC work; quite details)



if any of your friends of forte then beg them let u drive 1 week or a long trip to penang or johor then you can feel it more completely

like this 1

yes, free 1, given by SA

the panic button is for u to look for ur car in shopping mall car park... lolx

buy the aircond filter at lyn forum la... just RM36
