my dashboard got rattling sound too. try to cover up by increasing the radio volume, but sometimes the touch HU has reception problem, so still can hear the rattling sound. quite annoying sometimes.

Anybody tried soundproofing the doors? Extra foaming/insulation with those mats might get rid of the rattles right? The rattles are annoying! 

Hi everyone,

Got my forte 2.0 for 2 weeks already. Just want to share some issues with my forte.

1) Squeaking sound from the the clock plastic housing, instrument gauge and behind it.
sc will open your dashboard..apply grease to every join...put some foam..but still not sure can solve or not....
2) Just discovered yesterday some knocking sound from i think is the front passenger side curtain airbag.
or is it the seat belt? 
3) The interactive multimedia player sometimes doesn't want to read my usb. Sometimes come out the application.exe failure.
4) Not properly fastened passenger and driver seat. This causes the passenger seat to vibrate to the engine rev and sometimes make vibrating sound.
5) Silverstone Atlantis v7 on my car makes too much noise.

6) Wind noise from the window when doing about 100km plus.
install rubber? the big D & P thing...or soundproofing je la...

All the sifus-sifus, any idea what to do ah?

My only hope right now is to get all of them rectified during the first service.

But on the whole the car is so fun to drive.

ha ha  i got my forte - TS color from a dealer within one mth. Naza branch always give less discount and gifts. BTW what colour did you order in the end?

1) nothing much to do about it, does it happen in hot weather? if yes, it is due to plastic expanding when you on the air-cond, quite common problem for some car, eg: altis. i tried stick some pad into the plastic gap, improved a lot but cannot be eliminated. or just let sc operate it.

5) yup, quite noisy and the rubber feel hard. i changed to continental mc5 recently, which is entry tyre only, but at least 30% improvement over comfort and noise over our stock tyre. i believe higher end tyre will give better result.

My FC according to the meter is 8.1L/100 KM currently. Still got bout quarter tank to go .. I always follow the instant litre screen that shows how much fc we will use and kept below 10 LOL! Lets see whats the real FC when i finish the whole tank and calculate manually. My driving 75% highway 25% city ba .. Sometimes also stuck in jam.

Highway ... always good. If I can make it drop to 8L/100KM in city drive, I will be happy enough.

I am thinking about modify the car now in order to reduce the FC ....

TS! (IM is the right color code in fact  ). I may not have time (use up lot water, not env green + I'm a lazy ) to wash my car all the time, so black and white is out. My previous car is maroon, is time to change so Red also out. Bright Silver is not favorable by my mum and wife. So titanium Silver is the only choice for me. 

Talking about FC is like a never ending story. Too much variables involve in our everyday driving that affects the FC. For a 13xxkg car with 17" rims, figures around 8-11L/100km is consider ok for me for a mix driving condition. There's no way the FC will be better if we always stuck in the traffic jam or being heavy footed all the way. So everyone's FC will not be the same although we drive on the same route due to many variables (factors) such as traffic conditions, speed, tyre pressure, total car weight, our right foot's mood etc...

i agree with you. IMO, the reading on the panel is for reference. you can't be too obsessed with the FC reading. why don't you compare FC with the 'distance to empty'? at the end of the day, it's the driver's style of driving that determines the overall performance of the car. be it you choose to change your rims or to do any modifications. you bought this car for a reason and i believe, FC is one of it. so, enjoy every moment of it
