i think mine also same problem..the brake disc sound (1 month old car)..i sent to SC but for 1st they siad its normal..after some argument, they service the brake pad then the problem solved

I just realised that I only have 1 rear pocket... Standard kah???

2.0 got 2 seat pockets.. driver and passenger front seat..
1.6 I tatau oooo..

Mine 1.6 SX... Just at the passenger side... Can anyone confirm this???

Thanks for your info. But still, i thinks its much better than my current iswara where is drinks petrol like water.

Is the forte good? So far any major maintenance that you worry? Because im going to purchase a 2nd car. Hope you can tell me more about it. I have test drove it, i find it strong and really want to know more. Especially the spare parts issue. Have you encounter any?

Model & Colour ?

If feels warm, it's normal.

But if it feels hot, this is a known issue. I've read in MFC forum where in some batch, the console becomes hot during a drive. SC should be able to install insulator for free, under warranty.

Forte is covered under 5 years warranty with UNLIMITED KMs mileage.. so far my 9 months old car only claimed ECU and
solenoid valve which takes about 3 working days. The only worry comes when you're not sure whether some SC's foremen and technicians really know
what they're doing or not to repair your car and solve it once and for all when something is wrong with the car. Some buddies here said that Puchong
Kinrara SC is a good one, I need to experience there myself during my next regular service in order for me to comment further.

On the other hand, I had asked for a claim from Setapak SC to change the door catch mechanism because of its "clack" sound when closing my driver's door.
It seems since last year before Raya until now no news from them although I had followed up calls with them very often. They gave me all kinds of excuses.
They are only willing to claim the parts which related to engine/performance and safety for the driver. Minor stuffs they will try to ignore.

Some negatives aside, Forte is a quite an okay car for its driving refinement, comfort and affordability. FC is not bad, not great either. Mine is 2.0
and overall I am satisfied with the drive and performance. Really can't compare with Honda City and Toyota Vios. Even Corolla Altis.
Mazda3 2.0 and Forte 2.0 is on-par, but Civic (previous generation) loses its ride refinement.. Forte has an upper hand on this..

dam that why i tested, then my car tak bunyi...ayam going back to Produa then..

May I ask. How much forte been stolen. Anyone keep a record for that since launched?

Hmmmm, mine is 1.6SX but I got 2 rear side pockets...

Em... This is weird... Need to check with SA... Thanks Buddy...

I felt that the suspension is too soft for me... Let say if I change the spring, does it void my warranty?

my 1.6SX only got one rear pocket..you guys mean the one behind the front driver & passenger seats right? mine only got 1..u guys have 2??weird..

my 2.0 +- same as u...

**wait until u isi shell v-power...then your right foot dead heavy bro...

Whoops, soree guys, just remembered I changed my cloth seats to leather seats before I got the car, arranged by my SA. And I cannot remember if the cloth seats had 1 or 2 rear pockets.

Thanks for the response... Mine also just 1...

Bro Kailord and Bro Ah_Bear,
Thanks for the advise.. Appreciate that. Will check and follow up with SC when the first 1K service.

Possible as it might stress the absorber ad wheel .
anything that link to wheel n suspension system

my new forte got slight alignment issue pulling to the right? need go do alignment?
