I plan to get a second hand forte, just want to ask, is it a big different between 4 speed and 6 speed forte?
thanks.

Hehe. Buy car must do research a bit. Read through V7 to V9 supposed to be able to help you. I am driving a 6 speeder. The gear change is smooth. U can't really feel or know that the gear has changed unless unless you look at your rpm. 110km/h runs at rpm about 2.3k. 130km/h is 2.5k.

I cannot comment on the 4 speed though.

hmm. thanks for the reply.
The problem now is, forte 6 speed still very new. So is quite rare in second hand dealer

6 speed already in market since 2011, you will find one easily but look at the depreciation is low, i would suggest you go for new one as warranty is 5 years.

New 1 cannot afford. Sad.
At first I don't plan to buy car but sadly my old car was stolen last month. So have to find new car.

New Forte car interest offer is now at 1.68%-1.88%. Compared to second hand, the interest rate is around 3.5%.
If you take a loan of let's say 60,000 for 9 years, the difference in the interest alone is around 8,800!

Do build this into your calculation when you consider taking a second hand unit. Don't just look at the difference in price of a new car and a used car, look also at the installment you need to make every month. The actual cost is all hidden there.

Secondly, used car prices are OFF the road, you need to factor in the insurance (and sometimes road tax), plus the cost of name transfer and registration.

Good luck and hope you get a good deal whichever car you decide!

For those Forte owners with BK installed, do you have problems going thru road bumps or going up the multi-storey car parks? Is the BK too low and causing problems with slopes?

improved power and FC or not?
warranty voided right?

for most of the time the bk is doing just fine but need to slow down a bit... so far i only found out 1 place which no matter how slow i drive, the bk will always 'geser' a bit at multi-storey in my workplace

Just wanted to share my experience i encounter with raytech seri kembangan, yesterday I just got my car, and before this I requested the SA to send my car for tinting, after inspection, I found out there is quite a number of bubbles at my rear window. So I asked them (raytech) politely, is this covered in warranty if let's say after 1 month the bubbles are still there. This is what the PIC told me. "Yes, it does covered, but you must understand, in the air, there is dust and such, so there might be some residual dust that sticks on the window, you go anywhere stick also like that one, even we stick for second time, it's the same."

I straight away ask, is this how you avoid your customer from claiming warranty? I have one iswara which is tinted with those groupon deal that cost less than 300 bucks. And their workmanship is superb. So why am I paying four figures for your workmanship? One of the staff also steps in and said, it's like that one, some imperfections can't be avoid..=.=.

After much argument, we agreed to let it stay for another month and see how it goes.
