Hi, Benedict and Mynickleo

Thanks for the reply ^^, wow, with 52L running 450Km to 500Km, that would be quite makan minyak right? I am driving an Iswara 1.3, daily travel to work around 40km ( 5 day work ), petrol would be like 50 ringgit per week. Of cos the poor Iswara is no where compare to the awesome and cool Forte

Btw Triton's fuel consumption for distance of 65-70Km weekly is around reach 10L/100Km, and it is diesel, cheaper 10 cent compare with petrol

If u compare smaller CC n Diesel against Forte or any car, my advice is dun buy any car..just continue use ur current old car which have low maintenance n good Fc.

Sorry to say u still live in dinosaur era...>"<|||

please help ,consider buying forte 1.6sx , but put more 10k can get elantra.for outlook .which one is better?

Features n power to weight ratio Forte definitely better than Elentra

how about this two car dimension ,,two also same long and width.?which one will bigger .

Check la website

u will get more feature and poison if choosing forte

Elantra back seat not so spacious.
Maybe the fuel consumption slightly better than forte but still cannot beat altis and civic. I saw in forum many of elantra user simply hit 10l/100km. You need to do more survey.

The outlook is sleek. Many people's said the design more sleek then it will be easily get bored and outdated. I totally agree. I loved elantra before. But now no more. Tak boleh tahan tengok lama. My personal opinion.

The price almost same or even higher than civic and altis. Elantra is an expensive car for Korea car.

if you are talk, you will have trouble with the roof as its curvy (both front and back)...power wise 1.6 on its long body...underpower than Forte...not to mention the trimming around....no auto flip, chrome pedal, pedal shift etc....

2.0sx la...

I have both the Forte 1.6SX and Elantra 1.6HS....

Forte - looks more aggressive. Elantra - more elegant. So depending on my mood, I have can choose any car to drive for the day. By my wife always take the Forte... she wanna look "cool". , leaving me with the Elantra. .

Spaciousness - definitely the Forte. I will use the Forte when taking the family out. Somehow, the more angular dimensions of the Forte imparts the impression of having more space. But in terms of rear passenger leg space, Elantra is slightly better, perhaps due to the shape of the front seats, which looks slimmer.

NVH - Elantra is better. Tyre noise not as noticeable as the Forte. Engine sound is more subdued, especially at higher RPMs. I got myself in trouble a few times in the Elantra, going a bit too fast for the corners . Doors of the Elantra closes with a more solid sound rather than the "thunk" of the Forte.

Performance - Elantra feels the more powerful. Maybe because it is dual vvt as Forte is only single vvt. I can always pull faster in the Elantra as compared to the Forte (and my wife is no slow coach driver, fyi, she is a terror behind the wheel).

Economy - Elantra is slightly better. From home to work and back (80% highway, 20% city), I get 10km/L with the Forte and with the Elantra I get 11km/L (and this is by using the brim to brim tank method of calculation which is more accurate). I am considered heavy footed too.

Oh, my Elantra comes with "sports pedals" just like the Forte. The drivers window has auto up and down (Forte is auto down only). I am able to open the rear bonnet by pressing a button above the rear number plate (for the Forte, I need to use the key). Very convenient this item. Elantra has loads of storage space compared to the Forte. Elantra lacks the rear view camera, auto dimming rear mirror, auto folding door mirrors (what a bummer) and auto air con.

End of day, choose which you prefer.

Nope, 1.6SX, yes sometimes my golden right leg keep vrooming, and I installed Firestorm too, somehow did not see the fuel saving effect, but my car carries 10kg+ of soundproof material and ICE, so maybe extra weight on it.

u plan to sell ur car within 5 yrs?

how much is firestorm and how good izzit ?

Hi, Does anybody know what type of leather is on the 2.0sx? Thanks

Forte for sure.

But one thing I must say is that the air con power (speed) is damn strong for elantra

wilsonha,
Go for forte.. ready stock.. elantra need to wait for 6 months, and abit pricier (low spec) than forte but with less gadgets.. altho the look is nice..

anyway, some comments/updates/questions after almost 2 weeks of ownership of the forte:
1) Alignment abit lari to the left, can SC settle this? Closest sc from me is at Taman Teknologi Kajang (as mentioned by the SA)
2) Radio reception sometimes not clear (just a few secs only then ok again)
3) Foggy headlamp after raining..make matters worse, its raining almost daily recently.. so sometimes got water droplets inside instead of "fog".. but after self dried after leaving under the hot sun.

the rest is ok.. FC still ard 9-12L/100km.. not even 1st service yet..

send to SC bro, they will help to settle all 3.
