you mean bright silver izzit ? That's the least demand colour but also the best colour to withstand the 'dirty-ness'....

Mine also Bright Silver

Very good color. Make the car looks bigger and and only clean it bi-weekly basis after mud-flaps installed.

Can anyone share your 1.6 and 2.0 chasis model ? Wanna see whether both exactly same body....

Also engine model. Dun need your chasis number and engine number..just want the model

my stock spring seems too bouncy sometimes
is it normal?
any good spring to recommend?

just finished my fifth full tank.. only done 370km from full tank to dte blink
my driving condition is 100% city drive.. 1.6sx..just done first service last week. around rm0.25 per km..same with my myvi auto. May be i m driving in a small town(sarawak sibu) with full of traffic light. hopefully next tank will have better performance. Previous five tank using petronas ron95.. now going to try shell c how's the performance.

Had been driving it from sibu to kuching last week, it is around 450km..achieved 6.6L/100km.. full tank can hit 580km..drive consistently 90km/h.. quite big different for city drive and so called highway drive(lol sarawak "highway" suxk)

i had been taking my forte for around one month. Still very happy with it..really nice driving experience and good soundproof..and i enjoy the sound system too. No any problem til now except high fuel consumption during city drive. But if let me choose again, i will definitely choose forte instead of elantra(after test drive both car, i go for forte)

how many psi you pump to your tyres ?

Yes. City drive is a bit bad FC. What is your average speed in km/h?

Mine average 27 km/h in city drive. And the FC 10L/100KM.

Hey what's this average all about? Average speed so far? Cannot be right? Mine is 32 km/h higher better or lower better?

as recommended bro, 220...

It calculate based on your driving speed + elapsed time. Of course the more faster means better. If you reset before drive on highway, you see the average is close to 110 km/h on yuur odometer. Like I always crawling on the bridge, I only managed to get 27 and this will impact the fuel consumption.

Many people's saying their FC is good. But it doesn't mean good until compare how fast they drive. For example 12L/100km driving with speed 26km/h .... The FC is far better then 10L/100km with speed 65km/h.

Agree?

Just finished my 10K KM service in Kia SC Selayang. I prefer the engine oil they are using ( Petronas Syntium 3000 ) but service so so. Last service i did in MPV Car Service they using Hyundai Oilbank, not really confident with the engine oil, performance also not as good as petronas engine oil.

i was using Caltex from the beginning until 3000km +
then i switch to Shell, FC is most likely the same with 100% city drive, in penang island. normally just around 360km per full tank. but highway drive easily break 500km per full tank.


Mine is average 22-25 km/h, FC 10.5-11.5 L/100km

higher is better, i noticed that Forte 1.6sx will perform better for FC if the speed constantly hit above 60km/h.
if keep below 60km/h it will just stay at 10-11L/100km


with the example given, 10L/100km with speed 65km/h is better for sure

News from Yahoo Auto.

Honda's string of recalls to tarnish maker’s quality reputation?

http://autos.yahoo.com/news/honda-s-string...eputation-.html

Yeah. Bright Silver is a very nice color

My 2 month old bright silver baby got scratched recently by kids on bicycle. There is a 6 inch line on the right hand side at the back of the car. Luckily it is not noticeable from far. But nearby you can see a line. Tried to polish the thing, cannot remove it. use finger to feel it, can feel something but not too deep.

Wondering if sending this to Waxson, PPS or Siera Glow, can hide the scratch or not. Any advice?

Where SC in penang is good ar??
Last week went to the Sungai Pinang main 1..just change my oil, oil filter and oil seal.
open bonnet check water, shake here shake there.
Done.
Complain audio reception not very nice, say is like that.
See got a rusted point near the door, jz capture photo say send to hq..
.....zzzzzzzzzzzzz

JNS is the best in Penang. Where you go?

Radio reception not really good on certain place but should not happen all the time.

I was thinking about coating as well when my bright silver get scratched by myself when I put heavy thing on top of my trunk.

I think coating can solve the problem. I think they will use sand paper to clear the scratch then only apply the coating. But it is too expensive to me and I give up this.

Added on October 10, 2012, 6:40 pmI am thinking all Ron95 are same regardless you use Caltex / BHP / Esso / Shell. Should be no different. I think engine oil make the different. I will try 5W20 next time


The reason I said 12L/100KM with speed 27km/h (Car A) better than 10L/100km with speed 65km/h (Car B)because .... if you drive Car B with speed 27km/h, then the FC could be 15L/100km.

Thats why I said FC comparison also must consider the average speed.

Nail can feel mean already bypass clear coat...



My advice is JUST LEAVE IT. Heavy polish or compound will only do more damage to the clear coat which lead to no protection and under UV and acid rain...you paint will eventually suffering cracking (no joke)

Kia jns in sg pinang is the best sc in penang wo. Who attend ur car? I serviced till 60k km so far very good n friendly. If u are club member they ll more serious taking care ur car. Ha.. Normal service just change eng oil n filter only bro.. Any special complain need to snap photo n make report to clam from hq n this ll take some time. Keep call them to update ur complain..

white was my first choice, for months been thinking about it but in the end i bought bright silver (some call it diamod silver). 1st is because i have busy schedule so can't wash frequent enough (unable to drop for wash too). 2nd is because white is too common. 3rd, white requires higher paint maintaince cost and lastly, for me, white is too "pretty" (anyone else feel that way??)


why turn off passanger side airbag, you won't know when you will get involved in an accident, don't leave life to chance just to save some money. but just out of curiousity, is the turn off switch is the 'off/on' type? whereby you can turn on the side airbag when you have a side passanger?


yes, airbag is not safe for baby/children who are seated in child seat with the type that has the baby facing the seat. it is published in the car owner's manual. please have a read.


wah boss, just got my car 2 weeks ago, can i be eligible for the free service too?? and that time the interest rate was higher too, any discount or freebies to offset ??


not only H, but T just announced and is competing with H for amount of cars being recalled

my 2 weeks old bright silver baby got hit recently by a teenage kid on car. there is a huge ugly sight on the left hand side at the back of the car. unluckily, it is noticeable from space. but nearby you can see clearer. tried to cover with canvas, cannot remove it. use finger to feel it, can feel something cutting my heart deep deep.

for my case, bumper broken, reverse sensor broken, trunk lid damaged, side body dented, brake and signal lights broken. estimate 6k repair. to claim third party succesfully have to wait two weeks for 'keputusan kes' from traffic police. i haven't even pop my car virginity (1k km), already like this.


bro, have you consider using 'scratch remover' or the 'same colour scratch refill pen'. i think you can find the info in lyn, if not head over to myforteclub. doesn't cost you much...
