Hi, just wondering anyone has regrets after getting forte? Come across quite a number of ppl complaining about Noisy Tires, Bumpy rides , High fuel consumption, noisy dashboard, noisy rear wiper, lousy sound proof where any bikes or bicycle pass by also able to hear, intermittent reverse camera.
*
tyre sound become a lot lesser after i changed my stock tyre to cheap continental.
fuel consumption i think it is good enough, if full highway full tank can achieve at least 600km. for city drive, heavy and slow traffic give me around 450km.
dashboard rattles and camera malfunction depends on luck? mine have no problem hmm.gif
also, if you have considered previous civic or current altis, they have the same dashboard cracking sound problem due to design and our temperature.
bike lalu those vroom vromm type can hear quite clear, it is damn irritating but i dont think other car cannot hear, if cannot hear then horn also cannot hear laugh.gif


problem i faced so far for a year car,
1) glokk glokk sound when driving slowly at 20km-30km, didnt check yet, seems common
2) steering wheel leather peel off, changed to new steering, no problem already



QUOTE(gigohlo @ Nov 13 2012, 10:41 AM)
Actually I still can't get over the creaking and rattling noises on the dashboard, left and right side of the car. Can't seem to trace where it is. Brought to SC, but every time mechanic drive, can't hear the sound  rclxub.gif Don't know can help by doing sound proofing to "fill" up the empty spaces help or not >.<

I've set in my colleague's elantra, and I must say, the built quality is top notch. But no paddle shifters, the design (I prefer aggressive looks of forte), the value, and the god damned waiting list of elantra, I still think Forte edges out a little bit smile.gif
*
bro, cracking sound you can stuck some foam into the plastic gap, at hu, clock panel, aircond vent.
anyway it just crack or a while due to temperature change.
hyundai car are better build, due the the price

As stated in the user's manual, Forte can use 16" & 15" rims also. For 16" rims, use 205/55 tires as recommended & for 15" rims, use 195/65 tires. But to find 16" & 15" rims with PCD 114.3 x 5 stud for Forte might be a tough job for u  tongue.gif

Anyway, i've downgraded my rims to 16" also  whistling.gif

haven been considering to downgrade oso, for more comfort and less bumpy ride for by coming baby biggrin.gif

yup, oil quality will degrade

semi syn 5K mileage or 3 months
fully syn 10K mileage or 6 months

whichever come first

so better use fully syn, since the total service amount you pay by time are cheaper and suppose to be better in quality if compared.

Hi bro,
Lets do the calculation in this way.
Semi 3months/5k km RM150
Full 6months/10k km RM200

I don't get the point of why you wants to go for semi as 2 x semi = 1 x full.
Correct me if I am wrong.

correct thumbup.gif
duration and mileage is double, but the price is not rclxms.gif

change in 30k-40k mileage is good, if you drive a lot.

for my case it will took me 4 years to reach 40K, at that time my car no more new and comfort

so i wasted some money to feel it when it is still fresh biggrin.gif

Bro I'm not trying to be funny as this is what I've been told by the authorised SC here in my area although the engine oil come with 4L but they will charge me 3L price only (which is RM209/4 x 3.5) for nx service if I bring back my 500ml left oil. smile.gif
*
yup forte use 3.5L, serviced once at dealer at my hometown and they gave me back the remaining.
naza sc doesnt seems to practice this, but not really matter for me since i service every 6 months and oil quality probably degraded if keep so long.
