QUOTE(Ah_Bear @ Feb 15 2013, 09:16 PM) Elantra 1.6 HS is about 98k right ? why go for 1.6 engine where such price can get Forte 2.0 ? yup, 98k for elantra. Thanks for your great comment, quite neutral but i believe forte is much more reasonable price with those spec.Driven only Elantra 1.8 for a day, torque not as strong as Forte 2.0 to play around especially Elantra's acceleration has laggy feel to it after making U-turns under the flyover.. gear change seemed to be sluggish than Forte 1.6 and 2.0 too.. bodyroll abit bouncy and soft side.. handling and steering response is same as Forte 2.0 but it seemed Forte 2.0 got more effortless / lighter steering.. in the end I didn't feel impressed because the driving experience is just like typical normal sedan. No special characteristic except its outlook design.. but then I am not sure about comparison between Elantra 1.6 and Forte 1.6.. You can consider it if you can spend 98k for Elantra just because of its special looks but don't care about limited max torque and hp and engine cc. Pls test drive it and also at least 4 different cars and brand first.. don't buy anything without test driving My personal opinion is Forte 1.6SX is just good enough for most people expectation, reasonable price, up-to-date features (except Forte using CVVT and Elantra using D-CVVT engine) The money is yours, calculate and forecast yourself on the money you gonna spend now and then for your car to maintain.. ask yourself which car gave you the best / most enjoyable feeling that you've selected and test driven.. sometimes our words could be difficult to convey the message of whatever suits you.. Best way that you keep test driving every cars of other brands to furnish yourself what's the current trend of automotive driving dynamics and technology.. No need to scared to yell inside any car showrooms "I WANT TO TEST DRIVE" because they won't kill the walk-in customers and it's FREE of charge to test drive.. They are more than happy to let you test drive because they need more consumers to experience their updated products. Automotive world nowadays have stiff competition with each other and everyone is making good products (except Proton and Perodua).. try them.. !! People way saying k3 is coming soon, but i don't think will come in so early this year, because the Rio just launch only. another question, lets say if finally i choose the forte 1.6 sx, and i hope to add nice body kit, upgrade sport rim, led light, how much i should prepare to spend for it? I am not so sure for the price. And is it any recommended shop to do MOD for forte? |

QUOTE(Ah_Bear @ Feb 16 2013, 03:16 PM) so far my previous survey and observation China Made can be as low as RM50-150/set which best to avoid (LED bulb easily kong I see...nice information.and not weather-proof casing) mid-range about RM200-320 which I'm using (the more LED bulbs, the more expensive) which is Taiwan Made, durability is OK, shines brightly and OK.. the only complain is that the front light cover doesn't glued nicely from the factory.. water can go in a little bit.. if the proper and high quality DRL you're after, go for the Philips/Hella brand DRL (minimum RM550/set - 4 bulbs per side).. Philips looks more sophisticated and Hella looks abit unker-ish.. 7 bulbs per row could cost RM750++ excluding installation.. the more LED bulbs the more sporty and visibility for others on day-time.. BTW today i just went to tested the elantra 1.6. So finally the result is...same like what you say,nothing special except outlook. power still the same with my persona 1.6, inside like kosong, no bluetooth answer car,no touch screen, it make me more firm to get a forte. And ya, now i am more firm to get a koup as well ( because hardly considering about what you told me that day), spend a little bit more on each month, and then can get a car that you really really very very like. Will go to find SA tomorrow for further discussion. Hopefully can get best deal la. Looking for Mr.Edwin. |

QUOTE(Ah_Bear @ Feb 17 2013, 02:24 AM) Have you tested properly before on the Honda CR-Z ?? If you haven't done that, you're just cheating yourself.. haha, not yet test the crz, but i don't think i am getting crz la...Who cares about clients sees you driving what kinda car ? the important thing is you will gonna have fun and love driving it for the next 5 years and so on.. ! Keep in mind that 110k brand new 2 door cars they're not meant to be called "hot hatch" and drag racing car.. these 2 doors coupes are just for "show" of its aggresive and trendy styling only.. eye candy purpose with abit hint of sport car (low seating position, sharp handling / stability, grip only).. Even though i like 2 door design, but sometime maybe still need to pick up my family. At least koup can fit them well. |

QUOTE(Ah_Bear @ Feb 17 2013, 12:43 PM) wokay.. Forte Koup is alright to have 2 rear passengers comfortably with enough leg and headroom.. agree!! And i don't like car with no back ass Hyundai Veloster is out from consideration coz of its small engine which doesn't match with coupe sporty exterior.. and is a price of Civic 2.0.. !! Alright, going out for searching, anything get back to you tonight. |
