As khusyairi said, that is 10 years ago tech engine. New Sentra 2013 don't use that. Even US Sentra MR20DE engine with EGR tuned to >140ps. You need to park the Sylphy on steep slope like certain part of Cameron Highland or Genting Highland with a Forte 2.0 next to you. Then both start to move up from zero, you'll find the Sylphy sluggish like it's struggling to move a bit. Try with reverse as well, it'll be worse.

I doubt you even try and compare these cars properly. FYi, I tried them all with 5 full size adults onboard with proper measurement and calculation in torque test aka with load + cargo and see how much the strength deteriorated. Forte 2.0 is not underpowered yet it proven stronger than Civic FD2 2.0.

Forte is proven successful worldwide. Only bunch of marketing staff here would prevent any facts on better cars from going public. The 1 that should close production are the non-qualified C & D segment that are meant for 3rd nation. Only Globally accepted cars should be allowed to bring in.

If what you said is true about Lancer, its RV would have drop like flies long ago. However it did not and remain healthy despite existence of Inspira. Fact is Inspira is just using Lancer chassis and less ingredient Lancer GL with non-MMC suspension handling and build quality.
