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.. wink.gif

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..

For bad radio signal reception, just go Naza Auto Solution @ PJ. They will change the HU motherboard foc. I havent got my ample time yet to change mine, but from those who changed theirs, radio signal become much2 better.

Got mine for RM245 with shipping to Sarawak, its a groupbuy by our Forte group actually. To be honet, i can feel immediate response in torque, gear resopnse etc. After 2 months i can hardly feel anything, probably i get used to it already. But anyway, it can improve minimal performance, not so much fuel saving in my case.

Alrite.. thanks for the info.. Btw, i heard/read somewhere that regarding the alignment lari, some sc wont repair the alignment but ask u to go repair at other w/shop instead.. they just dont have the equipment (alignment equipmt)..

Regarding the HU mobo change, do i need to call for an appointment 1st before going there? or just walk in and they can straight away change the hu w/out waiting? thanks in advance for ur answers.. smile.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
