Hi Kusanagi, while you're at it, could you help to check on the bank valuation of a FORTE 1.6 SX - DEC 2012 car?

Please help to check the insurance coverage needed for the car if the insurance were to start from:
Dec 2013 = ???
Jan 2014 = ???

Thank you

is there huge difference between the 4 speed model n the 6 speed model?

considering getting a used one.

Yes. 4 speeds already old model, 6 speeders is the replacement

Hi guys,

I'm about to go for my 30k services. I called Selayang SC and they quote me RM530. Is this about right?

What if some of the stuff is still in good condition because I rarely drive my car and I don't want to change it. Will it void my warranty? My car still has low mileage, 14 months old but still less than 24k on the meter.

Thanks

4 speed try to search cbu unit
6 speed if u want to save petrol

24k km for 14mths is quite high...
Mine 45mths baru 55k km...
30k km normally chg :-
Engine oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, plug
Others u can request to exclude

mine 24 months 26K lol

i just change whatever recommended, in case they use it as an excuse if anything happens

maybe u can exclude ac filter and delay plug change to 40K service

hahaha..mine 2 months 2k ><

*edit: I'm also wondering what are the non-essentials that need not be changed/serviced based on time (i.e. only change when mileage reached)

Externally no huge different other than the LED side mirror, redesign front grille & fog light

Internally, of course the 6-speed transmission, reverse camera, bluetooth head unit (some with DVD/GPS) & some cosmetic touch-up.

These extra features in the 6-speeder however came with extra 4k in initial price & of course a higher maintenance price due to the 6-speed gearbox which requires the fully synthetic ATF. 4-speed ATF is around RM90, but 6-speed ATF is just below RM300 if i'm not mistaken. Anyway, u only need to change ATF for every 40k km only..so that extra amount of maintenance price doesn't do much damage to our pocket i believe.

If u are looking for a 4-speeder, try to find a CBU unit like mine & epo. So far (just 3 months short from 4 years of owning), my car got no problem whatsoever. Thank God.

Worth to mention that I've test driven the 6-speeder before & i able to conclude that from a standstill, the 4-speeder Forte is a drag king between these two cars. 2nd gear alone can accelerate up to 120km/h (2.0SX) with ease. However, the 4-speeder can't beat the smooth gear changing of the 6-speeder (close gear ratio due to extra gears)

In term of fuel consumption, i strongly believe the 6-speeder is a winner in highway drive. But in town driving, it might be the other way round because frequent gear changes introduce power losses. However, the losses is not that significant & can be ignored.
