Vios E Spec and Almera costs exactly the same as Forte 1.6EX right.. ?

if Forte in the comparison with the 2 cars mentioned above.. Forte WINS all time..
I owned a Vios before, beh tahan for 2 years of use then changed to Forte.. you know what it means..
Vios is a super cheaply built and noisy car.. !! don't be fooled by its promising peppy acceleration feel..
every engine revolution you can hear its buzzy noise all the time from dashboard.. making town driving and
highway driving to vomit.. and yes the rear bench is so short where your thighs will get numb after an hour ride..

This is Forte's thread.. sure Vios kena bashed and hantam oredi  mad.gif  tongue.gif

Why not consider Chevy Sonic sedan (cheap and fun car) / Proton Exora CFE or Preve (for family comfort, torquey, affordable car-like MPV) / Livina X-Gear (roomy headroom)
or Alza ? (most value for money, family friendly semi MPV, soulless to drive)
*
Listen, why you compare Forte with Vios? Why not compare with dugong? Dugong is binatang by vios bukan....




BTW, I ask you something, after you changed to better tyre, what is the different? Do you still heard the noise from tayar?

Where is your location?. You can try to check with KIA shah alam. SRI MS sdn bhd (worldwide business park. nearby bulatan kayangan. beside federal hiway. not glenmerie one).
I get mine from there. SA very easy to nego. not pushy even near end of year. means tak kejar sales saje. Can help to find best loan offer for you. in case u dont like the interest rate for bank. Offers and freebies oso not bad.
what I get for free:
-bodykit
-"K" emblem all 6 + 1 steering
- 3M tinted (5 yeasrs warranty). siap pasang. no voucher and go kedai sendiri then kena ketuk like shiss.
- MOBIS door visor. original
- leather seat (but i didn't take and trade with cash. means get rebate RM1500)
- standard showroom freegift. umbrella, TnG. fulltank.

Thanks for your advice. I am from Selayang area.
Shah alam is bit too far.

If the FC between 1.6& 2.0 is not much different, i wil prefer to take 2.0 which giv more power. But heard tat 2.0 FC is 10-12L/100km, is it true?

Semua binatang pun ada masalah.. !! sebab tu Vios ada masalah !

new tayar.. its different kind of noise.. but its not very silent la coz its performance oriented tires..
Silverstone Atlantis V7 got sound like landasan keretapi "wooong wooong".. Michelin PS3 is "gruuu" solid road noise
but not irritating or excessive..

Difference which I've mentioned much earlier.. crisp and instant steering response when changing lanes and U turns..
sapu corner at any curvy flyover or twisty kampung road.. the car won't feel like "tertanggal at one side".. can feel all 4
wheels got traction on road securely.. and 160kmph tire rolling and ride doesn't feel harsh at all unlike Silverstone..

that's all ba.. plenty of big improvement differences..
in Cantonese saying "yat fun chin yat fun foh".. in ang moh saying "you'll get what you pay for"..
after all Michelin PS3 currently is the most recommendable tires from most ppl by default for best all-round tires for normal road use..

Yes it is true when your daily route will be traffic jam crawling bumper to bumper at 80%
Outstation drive could be as low as 5.8L/100km with constant 120kmph cruise control for 3 hours.. don't stop for kencing or buying drinks at R&R

Hello. Apa khabar. New white forte owner here 1.6 sx 6 speed, received today. While driving, found out that bila lepas steering, kereta akan ke kiri sedikit. Need to do alignment later. But is it normal for a new car? Why average starting from 8l/100km, then drive around city for a while then it slowly turn to 9L/100km ? My km still below 1000km.

high FC for city drive. 9-12l / 100km, normal 1....mine average 11l/100km always.. nod.gif

No matter how good tyre you change, there is NO WAY there is NO sound from tyre UNLESS you are driving MPV (where tyre profile and body is away from the road surface) OR you drive a Merz or BWM which have very very good sound insulation doh.gif

Dun say there is NOT much different, FC (given you have greater engine power) as you pay more brows.gif ...then once a year roadtax and insurance shocking.gif

Remember, 1.6 FC can go higher if you play high rev all time BUT 2.0 fc CANNOT go lower as by default this is how the big CC drink more fuel....so if you are city user....stuck in jam alot...2.0 might not bring much benefit to you even you pay more....

I suggest you to drop by at SC later during lunch time, lodge a complain at SC that you're having this problem / unsatisfied with the car within 24 hours when you collected your new car.. it is mentioned in warranty T&C..

Do call any SC nearest your office ASAP now for appointment to check smth weird happened on your 1 day old car..
and ask any of your colleague to fetch you back to the office in case your car need to stay back there until evening for inspection..
