1st time posting here. =] hi fortezen~

Google for Wolfnu and you will be able to mod the HU skin.

servicing my car for 40 000km at 35xxx km...during that time doesnt change air filter..maybe due to old air filter (never change one) the fc become worse?just maybe

Please take sometime to browse back v13. Many instructions have been given and it works. I hv no problem loading songs and movies from my 32gb pendrive. Off and restarting will still continue from where it stop before. The HU got no problem as long you follow the instruction properly.

70% highway, 30% city.

For dashboard rattling sound, it happens to my forte as well. Any DIY solution besides sending the car to service center?

was thinking the same. is there a method to so called soundproof the dashboard? maybe apply some cushion or anything to absorb the vibration in the dashboard.

I rather leave it like this. If u find wrong person it may cause the rattling sound even worse.

but krek krok krek krok dam sad le .. then got zzzzz by the side .... orchestra in my car.

Has anyone know stock availability for 2.0sx recently?
Hope to get 2.0 instead of 1.6

Afraid will regret if 1.6 performance not up to my expectation.

Actually have already signed loan agreement and paid d/p, can I upgrade to 2.0 if registration has been done?

I beg to differ.. 1st and foremost.. comparing FC with totally different segment B and C car in terms of dimensions and weight, and engine's cubic capacity and horsepower (refinement level too) simply isn't a good idea..

I'm used to be a Vios TRD Sportivo owner for 3 solid years before this current Forte. Vios which is the trademark of good FC is because of its lightweight 1050kg as opposed to Forte's more than 1300kg with wider body dimension, bigger inch with wider tires. But the 1.5 fuel efficient engine power was so weak and that puny little engine is so noisy above 100kmph which I was having some hard time to overtake any car. Forte 2.0 has higher torque and horsepower, better get up and go and thus drinks slightly more fuel. Forte 1.6 not too sure.. In case if you are comparing the Forte 2.0 FC which is higher than Elantra 1.8 FC.. well reason for this is numbers already spoken itself. Speaking of which I've a friend of mine owns an Elantra MD 1.8 for a month or 2. His mixed driving FC is 10.1liter/100km and mine Forte 2.0 is about avg 10.9liter/100km. If your major concern is the FC, you'll be better off with VW Golf 1.4 TSI which similar to vios / city and also could get acceleration of a Camry 2.4 feel.

2ndly, most Forte owner might have bought this car in the 1st place simply because they've done sufficient research for purchasing a car with great safety features and value, being easy on the wallet in mind, influenced by plenty of positive reviews from auto journalists around the world from PC / Ipad, arguably one of the best looking C-segment sedan to-date. I believe most consumers don't want to spend too much money for a basic and decent comfort car for purpose of point A to B daily. Frankly (if I am in the shortlist on C-Segment market again), I wouldn't spend a whopping RM133k for a Corolla Altis 2.0 which has utterly cramp interior and legroom especially the shallow driver's legroom and my left knee is hitting against the side part of "floating" centre console plastic. Seats support for overall body are plain rubbish too for bigger and taller sized people.

To keep FC low ? plan your journey ahead each day to avoid heavy traffic congestion hours as often as possible. We cannot expect a 1.8-2.0 NA engine to sip fuel like 1.5 NA engine while stuck in a prolonged traffic jam. Set the A/C to the temperature you'll feel just nice and comfy enough, hence avoid to burn more fuel unnecessarily to power the A/C system.

Before I bought this car I'm kinda expecting its FC would be like any typical 2.0 NA.. unless if I go for Prius, but I decided to give others a try and not buying another Toyota again..

perhaps I am not 100% happy with my Forte because of my nit-picking problems on those different minor funny noises.. (my previous Vios and Swift isn't a total silent car too).. if I am rich enough, I would buy a decent house first and then a brand new Volkswagen CC.

Added on August 10, 2012, 1:15 amMy car punya Zzzzzzzzz noise at above 120kmph crusing on coarse road.. at 1st i thought the noise came from the centre of internal dashbord / centre console.. its because it came from the unlubricated front passenger's seat adjustment lever mechanism which vibrates..

I cucuk the mini red straw at WD-40's nozzle and cit cit.. problem solved !!

however and sadly.. still haven't find the solution for the annoying lalat sound from both B-pillar seatbelt height adjustment..

model & colour ?

I always see this White 5700 parked at the same spot at work everyday.. hmm.....

Ah_Bear,
Thanks for your detail sharing. I am not thinking bad about FC. Same as others, I did a lot of research before decided to take up this car. I totally understand this car is heavier compare to others same range of car. I know will have to pay more for FC already. Just want to learn more from fortezens here.

Someone asking not to talk about FC and I think this is against purpose of forum post.

Thanks again.. Very good sharing.

Tq.. I will try find it first.. Any particular type of file that i should download?

Do you have any idea what brand actually for the original Head Unit.

when i drive at plus highway like turtle, can get 6l/100km..when i speed i get 6l-7l/100km
i always park/idle with air cond on when waiting, my fc is 12l/100km, sometime 15l/100km lol but not really matters for me

maybe when servicing, they start your car on let it idle..the sc i go do this, hence the average fc shoot up, and dte down. if your maintain your usual driving style, probably after sometime it show your normal reading.


pull to left i no have, so i never go and check, last month checked when i change tyres..still okay no lari after ownership of 8 months. only sound i have is the plastic cracking sound when we on aircond after parked in hot weather.
but i am not lucky, my aircond hose leak when i got my car after two week, it got replaced in a week time.
after few months, my steering leather peel off, it got replaced in two week time after i complaint.

u mean only spray the WD40 on the 'sliding track' there (sorry i duno wats the name of this part)
