yeah noted about this it's only a 1.6NA with 1300kg + 17" rims

just got my 2013's 1.6SX Titanium Silver

do you satisfied with your car overall.. ? i really don't get it when people condemn
on korean cars its dull and not fun to drive, handling like sampan, power like ciput, quality worse
than Proton etc etc..

Added...!!!

i have been surveying since 2010. no human's creation is perfect. different people comes with different needs and wants. overall no regret at all because i know its pros and cons... loving it yes. proud it no because i am not really proud of anything i have

The reason to downsize from 17" to 16" if you wish for less road noise and harshness through uneven and bumpy surfaces,
and more softer cushiony ride..

if you're having high expectation on ultra quiet and comfort ride, Michelin Primacy LC is always my recommendation..

however, if you need reasonably quiet, great road traction and sportier handling.. Yokohama Advan DB V551 or C Drive 2 also my recommendation..

do note that Michelin Primacy LC has the most quiet and limousine-like ride characteristic due to its soft rubber compound..
and well designed thread eliminate road noise, gives solid and comfort ride of a premium big car-like..
hence, steering response won't be as sharp as 17" or harder rubber tyres.. you can't have the best of all

do keep in mind that Michelin's tires are expensive to buy than other japanese brands.. suggest you to visit tire shop and ask for
their latest price..

so far I have been used Michelin MXV8 (predecessor of Primacy LC) on Waja 205/55/R16 for 4 years and Primacy LC on Vios 195/55/R15
both are very quiet and supple ride.. speed over 180km/h, I still couldn't feel the tires rolling noise.. just like 60km/h.. don't worry as Michelin
tires are very safe tires too.. grips well even roads are wet.. just that a bit lacking of sporty driving and responsive steering response..

my home's 2009 Estima using Advan DB V551 and 3 Series on C Drive 2.. no complaints. Still can't beat the quietness and limousine-like comfort
of Primacy LC..

you decide yourself lah..

thanks for your valuable input.

how about stock rim? any comment abt that? and what brand you recommend?

hallo all!
I'm experiencing something weird with my A/C. Say i set the temp to 25c and didnt run A/C on auto mode since i hate air from outside coming in. I noticed the A/C at front leg room not so cool as the main outlet. infact it feel bit warm. When i reduce the temp, i can feel bit cool down there but not for long.
Anyone having the same problem?? is it normal?

just got my 2013's 1.6SX Titanium Silver on 12012013 from 070. already clocked around 465km so far. always maintaining < 3000rpm. currently got 7.7l/100km. the fastest speed i have drove only 125km/h at Lebuhraya Pantai Timur. very stable on highway. very confident in cornering at Karak Highway. really can feel the stock tyres 'menggigit jalan' the only draw back is the sound from stock tyres.

NO rattling dashboard sound. NO sound from either front doors. NO pulling left or right. so far so good

Wah .. you banyak hiao... So, anyone buy your original Forte RIM? and tak nampak tayar pun?

How is your spare tyre?

How much you paid for 15" Rim?

i cannot forget first day i got my forte lol, its weekday and afternoon.
when on my way home at duke, suddenly feel low traffic but all these car drive so slow!
drive at fast lane feel all car in front so slow, most nice and give me lalu then i look at my meter, damn i drove 140km/h but inside feel like 60km/h 

maybe cos my first car is blm, usually 140 at real highway like plus already vibrates

anyone know which papago version works on our player?or any gps software that can alert aes speed camera?

you were saying you're using 25°C A/C with cabin air recycling mode, air blowing body + leg mode ?

correct mr ah_bear. I missed the terms zit?lol..
air blowing to the leg feel bit warm. shouldn't it be the same as air blowing to body?

correct mr ah_bear. I missed the terms zit?lol..
air blowing to the leg feel bit warm. shouldn't it be the same as air blowing to body?

.. 25C is about the same with room temperature.. lower down the temperature la if you want cold air.

correct.. Forte A/C system is not the same as locally assembled Toyota..
Toyota Altis tipu orang wan.. set to 25°C but still blowing icy cold air and ah pek and ah soh will go like praising..
"wahhhhh.. Toyota car damn good leh.. so comfort and so powerful the A/C"

Cars which comes with heater air.. should set to 22°C at least to compensate our Malaysian burning hot climate
to be feel really comfortable..

can the heater be disable internally ? What is one side is blowing cold and another side is blowing warm intermitently  ?
