Thank you for the excellent story nemurus. I am too thinking about geting a Forte 2.0. I wonder if you had test drove the 1.6 before you got your 2.0? I love the car but the performance wise for the 1.6 comparing to Preve which I test drove before is a bit dissapointing. Preve has a bit more kick. I just wondering how the 2.0 fair compare to the 1.6 of Forte. According to the salesman there are no 2.0 test drive car.. so I can only test drive the 1.6.

Thanks all.. I agree with noobie123.. Preve interior is crap. Exterior is nice but Forte much nicer especially with body kit. But then again Preve more kick in power compare to Forte 1.6SX... Not sure which Kia show room offer the 2.0 for test drive.....

I am not really comparing 1.6 and the 2.0... I compared Preve Premium with Forte 1.6SX and Preve is better performance wise. I just want to know now much better is the 2.0. I guess the best way is to test drive the 2.0 first.

Ya esmond Preve torque is slightly higher than the Forte 2.0 but Forte has "dual CVT" ?? not sure what that means but they say much smoother acceleration? Forte horse power is higher than preve.. so highway speed probably Forte is much better. Still waiting for Edwin's response  .... |

QUOTE(1stLaksamana @ Oct 10 2012, 10:47 PM) also prior to the trip, i checked my car condition. went to pump 220 to the car tyres but pump indicated 260 on all four tyres. it's not new as i've read about it somewhere before. not sure why stock tyres are filled with 260. to new car owners, do inflate (or deflate in this case) your tyres to the recommended pressure. unless other pressure settings are proven to be economical (at your own risk) Anyone change their stock tyres to other brand? Hows it feel. Also.. anyone add in turbo mod to their 2.0 ? |

QUOTE(chanyo @ Oct 15 2012, 01:32 PM) Do you believe it? I did not test drive the Forte 2.0 and I just booked it way back July 12  Could not get to test drive anywhere at that time. And I have no regret  Best value for money. Can't get it anywhere else at that price and cool features. I went to Puchong there on Sunday but it was closed. Not manage to test drive the 2.0. |

QUOTE(g88 @ Oct 28 2012, 03:46 PM) i notice there are 2 tyre silverstone tyre use on Forte from...Silverstone Atlantis V7 and Synergy M5 Funny thing is each tyre is from different batches. I used Synergy M5 before on my WIRA SE.. it is a terrible tyre. No grip at wet corner and no confident with it. |

QUOTE(Forte-Wanna-Be @ Nov 5 2012, 08:04 AM) Haha, thanks bro SeeD. Actually, both are equally fine, as it is primarily for 3 person' capacity only. I don't play golf so I don't keep any golf bag in the boot. So I guess it's 50:50 again on this pointer If you talking about 308 VTI version, its non turbo on a 1.6 engine and it is definately less powerful compare to Forte 2.0. Forte has a cool reverse camera and LCD screen and it look soo much cooler than 308. |
