Our forte will be out of stock soon.. Will be special on the road like caldina tongue.gif 2.0sx is worth it.. i regret til today for not getting mine 2.0sx.. have u tested cerato?

No, i haven't test drove the cerato yet. And frankly, not interested with it as the design is just not my cup of tea. I just prefer Forte's design more and the 2.0SX is within my budget while cerato is much more expensive. Just need feedbacks from sifu's here wheter it's a good idea to get the forte.

This must be the craziest question that I have heard till date tongue.gif

How so bro? Are you implying that Forte 2.0SX is not worth buying since Cerato has launched or the current deal for a Forte is a no brainer especially for the 2.0?

You actually have just answered the question. Cerato is a good car. Lots more goodies, more HP, but of course comes with a greater price. If I have the money, loads of them, I would have gone for Cerato because it is new. I like new things.

However Forte's price with the goodies and performance packed in it is worth every single cent I spent, except the tyre of course.

Your money, your decision.

Btw, I also don't really fancy Cerato's design. More of woman-ish. Tarak man enough. Just like Sonata compared to K5. Sonata mana ada man?

Thanks for the clarification. Yes i feel the same way about the Cerato's design as well.

The question of worthiness derives from your pocket first. I made this move recently as opposed to mazda 3 which too is eol. I compared in terms of all level. Specs,price,resale,parts tabulated items. At the end of the day as much as i love the looks of the m3, i have to be practical (monetary terms) 1.68% interest saved me alot of money for a streched 7years.compared to a std 2.5%. Free 5yr maintainance bymazda is indeed tempting which is approximately valued at 6k n  i have to fork out 6k for forte for the 5yr duration.

So for me worthiness comes from pocket. Btw my budget is 100-120k.  my choices are 408,focus,civic,forte,m3,sylphy. Do look up for kensomuse reviews or ototreview. Cheers.

Forte 2.0 is indeed a value buy. What 2.0 sedan model can you find in Malaysia comes equipped with 6 airbags, MDPS (electric steering) and leather seat, reverse camera, all below 100K. However, it is to be phased out soon and stock is getting limited. A quick decision is needed before the stock or your choice color runs out! Cheers!

Another note that most important aspect is it comes with esp/vsm. :-) std abs n ebd ba mb essential however esp brings it to another lvl.

Cerato maybe equipped with similar items but 20k extra plus interest just turns off. Thats my POV.

Exactly why this car is on top of my list. The low interest makes the car even more like a great deal, although here in Kuching it is almost RM2k more expensive compared to peninsular M'sia. Thanks for the input guys, appreciate it. Guess I'm pretty much sold on this car, actually already are when I first test drove it smile.gif Just that I need more people to convince me to buy this car since almost everyone I know don't recommend korean cars and tell me to go for T's and H's instead.

@boyz
I assume you went for the 2.0sx? That says something about the car where you pick it over the likes of Focus and Civic.

welcome, what's next? which poison?

Thanks. Already installed OEM bodykit and 'K' emblems all around. Gonna send it for tinting next. Any recommended brands under RM1k? Don't need those safety films, priority is decent heat rejection.
