Hi All, I'm new and glad to see so many forte enthusiasts here. I have never paid much attention to any cars before, but I'm now at a stage where I need to buy my very first car, and it's absolutely no simple task in deciding which car to buy. For a budget of RM90K++, I have kind of narrowed down to either forte 2.0sx or peugeot 308. I have test drive both, and both have their pros and cons of course, and I'm still 50:50. Can some learned bros and sis here please help to convince me (i mean just some pointers) on why I should choose forte over 308? I know this is very personal and highly depending on the driving feel as I'm the one driving, but I would just like to gather some opinions which I might not have thought of/considered.

For forte, can you please share on the latest package available for 2.0, including the discount/promo? Please PM me the full details.

Thank you very much and have a good evening.

u ask in this thread, sure pro forte la
to me, no point to go for non-turbo 308
if u hv kids, u may need the boot space especially when u travel with ths kids.
the safety features is 1 of the main point i go for forte
besides, i found that sit at forte rear seat is much more comfortable compare to sit at the rear seat of 308
yes, u r right, i feel lagging on 1.6 especially gear 2 n 3

Well I am not dependent of what my father's friend told him. My choice is still the forte and I trust my choice. Is just that my father is against Korean cars for their low resale value. Although I did argue that Korean cars are improving and had gotten better compare to last couple of years ago. Anyways my father is those H/T types which still thinks that Japanese car rule the market.

u plan to sell ur car within 5 yrs?

After a long debate with my dad, I have finally lost due to insufficient data to prove that the Forte's resale value is not as bad as H/T.  cry.gif  cry.gif
*
if ur not going to sell ur car in 5 yrs, resale value is not an issue
u can do some calculation to show ur dad

Assume that u pay 10% down payment, interest rate 2.5%, 7 yrs loan and sell the car after 7 yrs
u pay total of RM158,577 for civic
u pay total of RM113,203 for forte

i duno wats the resale value of civic n forte after 7 yrs, i assume -50% and -70% for civic n forte respectively,
u sell ur civic at RM68,500 - end up u pay RM90,077 in 7 yrs
u sell ur forte at RM29,340 - end up u pay RM83,863 in 7 yrs


if really wanna compare forte vs city (which i wont compare at all due to diff seg), of coz u will enjoy lower fc and u pay less after 7 yrs if use the same calculation as above. But, to me, i would say the emotional value can cover all this and even can 'earn more'. For example, we eat a Rm10 spaghetti at hawker and RM40 spaghetti in a dining place, end up not only to fill up our stomach but also our feeling (the environment), taste etc
