  Hi, I made an order for the 1.6SX forte too.

  Other than the ultra light steering feel, everything else is good enough for me heh :P

  Lucky my gf persuaded me to walk over to C&C after we tried the vios and civic at UBI area.

  Ok...got it... thanks.

  Nice colour but u need to constantly polish your car to maintain it in tip-top form.

  New cars always look nice but what matters is how you maintain it a few years down the road....

  Black should be the hardest to maintain right? Imperfections are easily shown on it.

  As for the easiest, silver?

  hi guys, anyone driving cerato forte OPC? I was thinking to get 1 for myself but I heard alot of negative feedback on OPC cars....what you guys think?

  OPC is for drivers who don't drive too much. Always remember: Do not cheat yourself and the goverment. Also be prepare to get spot checks early in the morning eg. 0700 -0730hrs. The fine is around 10K.

  now coe 5K only....OPC damn bo hua loh...

  Coe 5k got nothing to do with OPC. If I am not wrong, u can combine both the OMV and COE to offset the $17K. eg OMV is $12K and COE is $5K, u can offset the total $17K. OMV is $9K and COE is $5K, then LTA will offset $14K and u will lose $3K. Plse check with LTA regarding this rule.

  I feel so long it fits your schedule well, then it should be fine.

  Only thing is that the car has low resale value.

  Should I get manual or auto?

  Feel safer driving manual, easier on the brakes and can squeeze a better FC but wife scare can't drive manual.

  Any advices?

  the locally fitted 'forte' badge is of really bad quality and sometimes ill fitted too, slanted one side, or 'for' and 'te' not aligned.

  might as well do away with it.
