If it is 10.6L/KM then it is still acceptable. The forte can only get about 350KM full tank(45 L) city drive.
Ouch, that is what my wife Forte FC.
For those who said it is about driving habit, I really doubt about that. I test my wife Forte myself and still the result is about the same. As for me, I usually hit 500KM/40L on my old vios. So it is not much about heavy leg.

Let's put it this way. Last time perception is, Korea car suck fuel like water. Toyota very save fuel. Now I can confirm, elantra FC on par with altis. Consider very good dy, no?

For good FC and better performance, u had to let the engine break-in....means ur mileage have to be 6k-7k....after that the real result will appear....

It is a myth. New car nowadays, the engine has already been broken in from factory. If you refer to user manual, it only advise you to drive moderately in the 1st 1000km and the reason is to let the parts break in (eg: brake, transmission).

I would say neither I am the expert nor most of the guys here. I believe it is the best to just follow what stated in the user manual, wish is to drive the car within 2k rpm - 4k rpm, don't race the engine, don't do hard braking for 1st 1000km to protect the new car.

Added on July 19, 2012, 9:06 amBTW, I feel that the 1.8 is very sensitive to your right foot. Once you step more, or let the RPM rises above 2.5k rpm, the fuel consumption will shoot up. It also not particularly fuel efficient also when driving at very low speed, <40kmh. Since 1.8 is quite rev friendly (thanks to the new aluminium engine and efficient 6 speed G/box), you have to control your right feet very well to achieve <9L / 100km in city driving.

Highway is another story, I can easily achieve 6.2L/100km, 110kmh constant before 1st service.

Again, don't expect miracle in city driving. Only hybrid or very low cc car can be efficient in city driving.

Likewise here bro. I too believe that we don't have to do any break in to the engine since all cars/engines nowadays already been broken in by the factory as u mentioned. For me just driving within the 3000rpm is alright before the first service. We have owners driving up Genting even before the first service and the car is doing fine thumbup.gif

It's funny because i got a recommended contact to SA from someone, he said call and say 'mr.xxx recommend one' can get RM2k discount. then i called really got 2k discount from the SA.

but when i my friend call to the same SA, he get RM2.5k discount after negotiating, without mentioning mr.xxx

I guess is, mr.xxx make a deal with the SA, whenever he recommend someone, he pocket RM500 commission smile.gif

Yiaks. Is it me? I have been recommending my SA to a lot of people for 2k discount also.....

up to own taste.
Feature wise, Forte wins ....
Engine wise, HE wins.....
Safety wise, Forte wins.....
Quietness wise, i think both are equals....
Quality wise, CKD vs SKD....
Pricing wise, Forte wins.....
FC wise, i think both won't be different much...
Test drive both models....Elantra 1.8P with Forte 2.0 SX Koup, while Elantra 1.6HS with Forte 1.6SX/2.0SX Sedan....follow price range, and compare apple with apple please, not apple with orange...after test drive, then see which 1 u like more, follow ur heart...
