Good to hear that. Another kaki using firestorm. You can check my last 2 tanks in fuelly to see my FC. Not much improved but definitely I can tell you the pick up especially cut car or climb hill get improved. Gear shift also get improved.

a little bit more powerful than normal only. For Forte, normal is sufficient. I don't really recommend super unless you're driving big heavy cars like Honda Accord, BMW 5 series, etc.

For my case, Yes. But not everyone same as me. So, not everyone will feel the different. I am the light foot driver, so I can feel the different. Just want to clarify or some other thinking I bluff them if they don't feel it.

Oh Yes. You can test it before buy the firestorm.

You have to see the city situation. If no traffic jam or less traffic light, then your can run smoothly and the FC should be around 9L-10L/100km. Or 0.17-0.19 cent per km.

I drive mixed highway and city (average 38km/h for daily route) - FC hit 8L/100KM or 0.15cent per km. Of course must light foot.

Modification: Changed to lighter RIM (Good for city drive), Installed super firestorm.

Let me tell you why I choose Forte 1.6SX. First, I like the design. 2nd, It is segment C car but selling at RM80K ++ price. No way you can find in Malaysia (after Inspira and Preve)

Of course, there are some common minor problem on Forte: 1 - Left pull problem, car move to the left. SC can fix it. 2 - Dashboard rattling sound. Can be fixed also if find the right SC.

Don't compare the FC with Altis and Civic. You know Japanese has very long time history in car mfg and engine refine. And you know those are extreme expensive if compare with Forte.

I love this car very much although having minor problem. Worth to get!
