Yup gotta agree with you here. Except for the turbo cars, the other NA engines are underpowered except the Forte 2.0L. K5 is underpowered.

its okay, there is still rio 1.4 and forte 1.6 accompany k5
oso got saga blm, persona, exora, etc, etc, so many underpowered cars as i read from this forum biggrin.gif

actually personally i think underpowered or not depends pretty much on individual.
those who said that or that is underpowered probably drive a 2.4 or higher/better car, these upgraded from 1.0 or 1.3 probably wont complaint much.


d segment - 2.0 underpowered, >2.0 ok
c segment - 1.6 underpowered, 1.8 not bad, 2.0 ok
b segment - <1.5 underpowered

what i learn from lowyat automotive engineer brows.gif sweat.gif

Yeap. Elantra 1.6 is srsly pathetic. Can hardly move. 1.8 slightly better but still no real oomph. Just for simple normal crusing. Doesnt really have the oomph in a honda ivtec engine.
The forte 1.6 has a terrible engine.

Already underpowered summore sucks fuel like water. Cant imagine how much fuel the 2.0 will drink

What car are you comparing to? Vios 1.5? Elantra 1.6 FC already beaten City and on par with current Altis 1.6 in city driving. Old Forte 1.6 FC somewhere close to non-FL ALtis 1.6 '08.
0-100km/h comparison:
Elantra 1.6 in 11.5s
Forte 1.6 in 11.5s
Altis 1.6 in 11.8s
Vios 11.8s
City 12s

Old Forte 1.6 empty weight with full tank is 1261kg. Elantra 1.6 weight 1220kg. New K3 should be similar to Elantra at 1220kg. Elantra 1.6 FC in mild city driving at 12km/L while Forte at 10.6km/L. Heavy traffic jam, both reduced by 1.6km/L more.

actually if car become very cheap, i think loan tenure will be shortened to max 5 years and increase in interest rate let alone petrol/etc.

it doesnt mean that those driving cheap car now can afford better car if car price decrease.

so no point blaming this and that.
