What is the problem if we keep discuss FC here? This car is very worth to buy except the FC is a bit high compare to other car such as Vios, City and Elantra. I know it is heavy car but if you can make the FC on par with other cars, I can tell you this car will champion. I have no complain at all just I would like to learn about FC since I am new. Please dont stop anyone to discuss about FC.

Most of the Forte owner not reach, that's why they choose forte. If they are rich, they already go for Altis or Civic ...

We learn about how people keep their FC low and indirectly we promote sales of this car.

Once we have many people buy it, it will become famous and all the resale value will raise including spare part become cheaper.
*
Haha...tip to reduce FC :

1) Reduce your air-cond temp around 24C and speed to level 1

2) Make sure your tyre always above 32psi

3) Maintain your speed around 80 ~ 100km/h with lower rpm 1.5k ~ 2.5k

Hi, is any 2.0 owner facing minor vibration during idling?
I mean after warm up n shifted at N.
Sometime it was really annoying me n affecting the comfort level, I suspected mouting problem but the SC said it was normal n common on all 2.0 car.
Thus wana double check here in order to go back n argue with the SC.
*
I hv same problem with u since 1 month ago, when my car at idle, my driver car seat will feel the vibrating.

Firstly, i oso check the mouthing but seem look OK, and then i focus on the pulley, look like one of the pulley running not so good, maybe u can focus on it.

Last Saturday, i bring my car to sc , but unfortunately cannot be done due to SC was full house. I will go again after hari raya.


Selamat hari raya to all muslim brother/sister here smile.gif

Where are you from? If you are from KL, go for Edwin Loh, he can give you a lot of discounts or free gifts.

I was in same dilemma like you last time about 4 weeks ago.

I went to the Hyundai, they told me the lower spec for Elantra is 92k, and they tried to provide me latest price list and print out for me. Once printed, they said "ooh.. price increased to 94 or 95k without reason... No new feature but increase price. I really !#@$!@#%$@!%$# mad.gif

Not worth to get Elantra because they just increased the price for their own benefit due to high demand. We have to teach Innokom the lesson.

Well, good thing is Elantra save fuel for sure if compare to Forte.

I get Forte 1.6SX at the end about 10k cheaper than Elantra 1.6.. Feature is more and more safer.. Got ESP as well. Features a lot. Somemore, I am old already and I think Elantra is too young for me smile.gif


Added on August 24, 2012, 10:16 pmI can see more and more Forte on the road in Penang. Happy to see that. smile.gif

The more fortezen, the more advantages to have this car.. Cool.

Did you ask if the Battery Alternator for 1.6 is good enough to support Battery for 2.0L?

Hi all

After use for 6 months, my conclusion on the rattling noise of Forte is inevitible and no solution.

I believe the dashboard material is not weather proof and it will expand or contract with weather. The soundproof engineering is poor and the fiction of the gap that causes rattling noise. I could hear the noise coming from clock area, side door, rear panel etc. 

So we have to bared with the nagging forte for years to come. Or just turn on the music louder to mask out those noise.
*
Got solution lar....i jz settle my size door 1 or 2 month ago.

For Dashboard sound.....my one not serious on and off and very light, i din not do it....because need to put the car as SC one or two day.

Go to SC at Kinrara Puchong thumbup.gif

There is a video show that K3 will come with remotely start/stop the car engine and on/off air-cond through smartphone. And oso equipped with GPS positioning theft deterrent system where you can stop your car remotely by give a call to the center. But again, this is for Korea version. How about Malaysia CKD version, we dun know yet. Maybe all dun hv biggrin.gif .
