QUOTE(roxor @ Feb 19 2014, 05:02 PM) hi guys, test driven a 3 yrs used forte 2.0 today. when idle at gear 1, the steering got vibration. I'm driving a 3.5 years old Forte 2.0 if put on neutral gear, less vibration, but still can feel. is this normal? At traffic light, D+brake and N+handbrake also no vibration. |

QUOTE(cyang86 @ Feb 22 2014, 03:51 AM) hi guys, i'm looking for used car, and i found a forte 1.6, 2011 model for 48.8K (mileage 52,000KM). Just bring an experienced friend to test drive the car with you.wonder if this is a good deal? before I proceed to view and test drive, anything i need to aware for a used forte? this is the first time I buy car, your comment and feedback is highly appreciated Get some history of the car and the maintenance log or service booklet. 48.8k? SX or EX? Mileage is pretty for a 3-year car. This post has been edited by David83: Feb 22 2014, 07:14 PM |

Back from 70k km service. Not a major service.

They said the side mirror signal lights - the thin stripe version is for the new batch of Forte with 6 speeds.
Correct me if I'm wrong. |

QUOTE(Peggy Khor @ Mar 20 2014, 12:10 AM) Yeap you are correct. thats the fastest way to identify~ That's like very subjective.Btw , does it have a big different between 4 & 6 speed ? exclude the FC, the outlook of it. Whats the actual experience on it while driving ? One of my friend told me that 4-speed will have better FC at town because your engine doesn't have to switch gear too frequent. While at highway, 6-speed will be superior. Just my 2 cents. |

The disadvantage of the older batch of Forte (4-speed):
1. No auto window down switch at driver side 2. No electrically foldable side mirrors 3. No reverse camera 4. No Bluetooth, GPS, touch screen LCD (not that important). Apart from that, I'm quite satisfied with it. This post has been edited by David83: Mar 20 2014, 10:00 AM |

QUOTE(siewstl @ Mar 20 2014, 11:10 AM) I owned the 6 speed . The aircond is not too cold.My friend also complain the same issue. Air cond distribution for Back seat passengers not very good. Perhaps you have drive a decent car previously.Tyres noisy and also low quality sound insulation materials used. Warm driver leg area (can feel engine heat) & Hot rear boot (due to exhaust below) Apart from that, no issue so far. I drove a Myvi previously and if you compare that with Forte, you will know why I have such reasoning. |

Just a foolish question here:
Regarding the front bumper skirting made with asbestos or some kind of plastic, do you guys feel that it's a little low? |

QUOTE(g88 @ Apr 14 2014, 09:14 AM) Welcome welcome. Its never be TOO late to know that bodykit will make the car look very low...in fact w/o bodykit also its consider low due to 45 low profile tire. With Myvi, I have no problem on gliding down a ramp. The ramp isn't that steep. But with Forte, I have trouble. |

Guys, for those who have the earlier batch of Forte (around 2010), how does SDVC work? I have enabled it but seems like I can't hear the difference. What is the threshold of the car speed for it to be activated?

Performed my 80k service and it cost me around RM 750.
On top of that, it looks like my steering intermediate shaft is damaging. When turning, there's "tak-tak" sound emits out and it's getting more annoying lately. SC checked it and they said the steering shaft is damaged and requires a replacement that could cost me RM 700+ Should I do it at SC or outside since I don't think my car is under warranty anymore?
