Review of my Forte SX after 9 months of using, clocked 21,000+KMs now (mostly the problems i'm having):

1)FC is so-so.. avg at 10l/100km.. but then, i drive 60%hway+40%city, i guess the FC is acceptable.

2)Still cannot use the free navi gps system- the signal is very weak.

The ciggy lighter/charger faulty, waiting for incoming service cycle to complaint

3)Alignment still abit off to the left (pull left issue) not rectified by sc.

4)Worst of all, tyre starts to shake badly whenever i turn the steering (hard cornering or even when i tap the steering lightly to the right!) to the right, even at lower speed. Feel like will tercabut..Ady sent to sc (alor star-mergong). They change the absorber, problem dissapeared for a week, then occurs again until now. Waiting for next svc to rectify this problem. From what i read on the net, possible cv joint faulty, but even when i tell sc abt this findings they insist on doing it one at a time- change the absorber 1st, then if still persist, they'll change the drive shaft, then so-on..follow thier protocol i guess..

Anyway, other than that, its a great car to drive. some ppl said 1.6 is underpowered, but for me i dont think that's an issue if u know how to optimize the use of the paddle shifter. power is always there. of cos, my wife always complaint the car is very sluggish when climbing hill (karak), but then i taught her to use the paddlers, problem solved.. she now like to rempit also.. haha..

Agree, FC reflects by the way u drive.. Steeping the accelerator is one thing, keep downshift (or is it upshift?) the gear is another. On the highway, I mostly use the paddlers since its easy to maintain speed, overtake, hill climbing etc. but during city drive, i use auto.
btw, how long have u been using ur ride? hope u'll drive free from any problems..
i started to think that mine might be an isolated case since i cannot find anyone with the same problem as mine (the shaky whell issue)..

Hi guys, has anyone try using the online service booking form? Just want to know if it is working, meaning did they (the SC rep) call u after u fill in the form? I tried filling in the form and submit yesterday but until now no one calls yet. Thinking of sending my sx for svc this saturday. anyway, here's the link just fyi http://www.nazakia.com.my/sales-services/service-booking/

Hi bro, thanks for the info, but I wasnt looking to buy the car actually but looking to set an appointment for my 21,000km service. They have the online service booking form thingy that i'd like to try..

Finally just now received call from them. Less than a day. I guess efficient enuff la..
I guess i wanted to try using the online form bcos i'd like to write down a lenghty info on my car's problem.. Dont really know how/want to explain on the phone bcos i tend to forget things that i wanted to complain during conversation.. haha.. anyway, that's just me..

My "cable" isnt as strong as yours.. haha
But i guess the online form thing is ok la for use if not in a hurry..If u need ur car to be serviced asap, call them wud be better..
