He still says that Jap models are still the best. Went to Melaka, KL. Told him that engine was smooth and hit 170km/h and vehicle still felt like going even more..... (a liitle noisy though but still considered smooth and stable) friend asked me are u sure? I told him that this car is a real value for money. He told me that I'm just trying to be defensive. Well what matters is, I love my car. My family loves the ride. I will not care whatever things being said to the fortes on the road. I'm driving one, I know how it feels. I believe all the bros and sis who are driving the Forte know its worth. Just felt like taking my thoughts out of my mind.
after all has been said and done, i think we live for ourselves. people have 1001 opinions, but the life is ours to live.

Re: Friend looking down on Forte
lol.. same experience i got.. When i was deciding which car to buy.. A lot of ppl including my boss come and tell me, JAP cars are good. If wan buy korean car, at least advante can make it (that time they nv even hear of FORTE).. When I told them I am going for FORTE, they all give me blur look.. ask me where is it from. I say KIA, all immediately say KIA CARs CMI.. But I tell them, go take a serious look at FORTE.. All still don't believe it. Then I happen to make a trip down to taka roadshow, bring back the booklet where KIa make comparisions with various models.. All look liao and say **** la..
Nvm.. I still go with my idea of booking FORTE. Then when eventually FORTE is launched especially the advertisment come out on TV, all was so impressed with the design and look, but sad to say the advertisment abit bluff also.. That time got show with push start button.. All thought this car which I bought at that time really come with almost technologies u can find it and not in others jap cars...
If i nv bought FORTE, I guess i will forking out more money to pay my monthly installment for MIT LANCER GT. haha.. It was FORTE that give me a room to breath!!!

Told my friend.
Forte installments + my season parking + road tax (change to monthly) = MIT EX Installments.

Re: Friend looking down on Forte
I have friends who drive civic and mazda 3, when I bought my forte they said it was the best choice. And these guys know what they are talking about, one's ride is super charged and the other's father owns a garage.

Simple math. Unless you have alot of money. The best car is one which you can use comfortably without complaining about the cost. If you buy the best car in the world but becos of the cost and dun drive it, it will be the worst buy of your life.

Re: Friend looking down on Forte
what matters most is what you think of your own ride. we humans are pretty uptight about comments but remember, a ride is still a ride, it wont ride on your ego for that long.

Re: Friend looking down on Forte
Question about the audi daylight LED......the highlights are left on auto all the time?? Means no need switch off at all?? :-) Wont it be very stressful for the light and thus shortening the lifespan?? Just asking. :-) Cos even for Forte, I dun use the auto headlights function. :-)
At the beginning of the year, when the economy first fell, I heard like there were 2nd hand R8s going for only like 300k, and that time, less than a yr old. Dunno got 6 months or not. :-) Usual price about half a million rite?? :-)

Re: Friend looking down on Forte
i guess they have switches for it.. but u know.. when u drive audi.. of coz must show off that LED.. since they can already purchase audi R8... what's the big deal for them to replace a new headlamp since its a small amount to them..
unlike us.. a head lamp blow only.. we start curse and swear! lolz

That's the question asked by my friend who drove the Lexus. In our SX version, our rear view mirror will dim if it sense the car behind is too glaring.

I realise I never took picture of my ride until on collection day of My Forte. Then I quickly took a few picture before it was drove off. For remembrance. Then when I am choosing picture for avatar, realise I never took picture of My Forte except when it's damaged in an accident.

Re: Friend looking down on Forte
Oh yeah, BTW today just refuel the Mit Lancer EX. When I press on the ODO, I am surprise! The meter read 11.9km/l. WTF! It's a 1.5l Jap car with 16" rims and the reading lose to My Forte? So the myth of Korean car more fuel hungry is busted. When I pump the tyre, then I realise the rear break drum. Where did the cost of the car go to?

BlackHorse wrote:I always thought Jap car consume more fuel
Is it? I don't know, but 1 of the bad remarks about Korean car is drink fuel like drink water. I drove my manager's Daewoo many years back. Just to and fro already drop by 2 bars. My Vios fuel consumption is 14 km/l but My Forte is 12km/l. So I thought this bad remark is true.....

Re: Friend looking down on Forte
toyota is well known on fuel saver.. honda is in the average range.. while mit is the consume the most fuel among the jap..

Since consumers already accepted the fact that for Korean made electronic products are comparable if not better than the MIJ, its just a matter of time people will be indifferent to the make in where (Japan/Korea).
The comparison will boils down to features, quality and price...
Just my 2 cents. 8)

Re: Friend looking down on Forte
When i told my friend my average FC is ard 7.5L/100km during this run in on mineral stage most say not too bad. But of course mine is Manual and 15inch rims. Now backside itchy thinking of increasing my rim size to 16 or 17....

Re: Friend looking down on Forte
I still have stares at my workplace. Even my regular customers keeps tab on my mods....like going "Wah change body kit" "Wah nice grills"..... He too wants to get the Forte but due to the financial strain, he's stuck with the Cerato (Old Model). Many people driving the oid cerato seem to be wanting to get the Forte but they are stuck with the loan. A quick check done on sgcarmart yields 59 records for the old model. And I don't know why, there were 4 records found for Forte. Wonder what's the reason for them to sell.

I am quite a heavy footer. So far pump 3 tanks with My Forte. Best is 7.8l/100km and worst is 8.3l/100km. I think FC won't be very much affected with upsizing your rims. BTW, mine is AT on 17".

Re: Friend looking down on Forte
Bed, thats quite good.. NO matter how light or heavy i step.. Still around 11-12l/100km..
SAD! Hopefully after 1k servicing it will be better..
