lol, difference by 5k...see how u judge the 5k

to me itz worth
ECS is very important to me
reverse camera is very useful
not sure whether EX got bluetooth, if no, it will be another very useful feature
other features like push button start, chrome, folding side mirror, leather wrapped etc are bonus
just my 2cents

bro careful .... cos when u driving from a full stop to a certain speed ur car will auto lock as well.... hope ur relay wont mistaken it and terus fold ur mirror....
but if u succeed... do share with us.... sounds like a cool additional feature
*
im not familiar with electronic parts also
duno how it works
but some fortezens already get it done as i know
and fold only when u lock the door and engine is off

I just got my car 3 weeks ago ! i love it so much .... never regret even though i downgrade from a 2.0 car to 1.6SX Forte smile.gif I am new here ....

1.) Is that only  naza auto solutions 225 jalan templer can update HU firmware ? My HU very funny volume control.... for my GPS i need to tune till 50++ only can hear the voice... but my Radio only 10 i can hear very loud ... and again .. my DVD i need at least 20++ to get the volume equal with what i get in Radio ... anyone got same problem?
it can be solved after increase the gps vol to level 5

2.) My car having very loud wind noise when over 120km/h is this problem can fix?
i think can reduce wind noise by adding rubber

3.) I went to service centre twice to fix my balancing issuse... now still jerking when i hit 120km/h sad.gif
im having the same prob sad.gif

I am travelling outstation to north next week and hope all this can be solve by then.... any comments all the sifu ?

Guys, Interested in getting the 1.6sx but still thinking, either 1.6sx or 2.0..

Any thoughts guys?

Fuel Consumption wise?
*
hey bro
i think 2.0 is better if no budget issue biggrin.gif
FC wise, 2.0 sure win for highway drive
for city drive, from what i read from 2.0 driver review, itz just slightly more than 1.6

yeah highway 80% city 20% im getting 9-1L/100km or 10-11km/L. but short distant can really see the fuel gauge level going down lol. why not they produce 1.8cc, which i think will be the best weight to power ratio.
*
yeah elru, i think 1.8 is the best in terms of power, FC and road tax $$$$$

Hi there, i am new here. i am looking for new car here. looking into vios, city, forte and mazda 3. can give me some advices or not? in terms of second value, how was forte second value? Please help with this.
*
bro, since u post this in forte forum, forte must be the best for sure lor
if u plan to sell ur car within 5 yrs, the resale value of T & H will be highest. heard ppl selling 2 yrs old forte at rm60-65k
if u are looking for a bigger, safer, more features car, forte is the one.
for FC, cant really compare coz vios & city are diff segment car. im driving 1.6sx, about rm0.20 for 100% city drive.
and dun forget about the emotional value which may come from the design, features etc (i guess forte can give u highest emotional value)

*
go for 2.0 if budget is ok
mine is 1.6sx. performance is ok when only driver in the car. 100% city drive about rm0.20. btw, fc always depends on traffic if 100% city drive

haha. wanna try try see whether after 1st service the car got any issue or not. I mostly keep it at 2-3K RPM but in highway, always over tekan it to 130KM/H coz it is so quiet... lolx.

I dont think I will put this reusable filter coz last time got it for my myvi and the engine throttle need to be clean quite often or else the car seems hard to start during hot afternoon.

anyone know where got sell the original filter for forte; only found air cond filter in this forum? BTW SC doesnt allow us bring own engine oil, do they allow us to bring own spark plug, engine filter, air cond filter?


Added on June 20, 2012, 10:34 am

if not mistaken it should be 10K.


Added on June 20, 2012, 10:34 am

is the 195KM/H the record for forte 1.6sx?  rclxms.gif
*
i asked SC b4 and they dont allow to bring own eng oil, spark plugs etc
if u installed those 'reusable' stuff like k&n or iridium spark plugs, just let them know so tat they wont change it n throw away ur k&n or iridium spark plug
anyway, i was told that u can ask them not to change the part and u change it after the service by urself

maybe I will call the SC and ask whether can bring own spark plug and ask them to change; maybe just give them labor fee. If cant then go to other SC that can smile.gif

for the engine and aircond filters, i can change it myself so shouldn't be an issue.
*
u can change the spark plugs by urself also biggrin.gif
