Hi guys, after more than 6 months, yet i still cannot find any 2.0 Sx forte review, any owner that is kind enough to share this info? If possible, compare against 1.6 Forte too? Been to test drive 1.6, but no 2.0 for test drive.

you get add stuffs like auto-cruise, leather seats (I find it is a little slippery, wish it was nappa) and 6 air bags
the chasis, suspensions and even the 17" rims share the same with 1.6SX so you still get the same dynamics
the 2.0L engine gives you ample of torque throughout the range for a more spirited drive...on 3rd gear you can push the car safely to 180km/hr before it upshift itself
FC reported by some of the owners are 9L/100km compare to 7.6L/100km for 1.6 (check in myforte in FB)
if you urging for more power then go for it

Already test-DRIVEN the 1.6EX and 1.6SX...
No... 2.0SX available for test...

Base on experience with other makes, comparing 2.0L vs 2.4L cars (Accord, Camry, Sonata etc.), beside extra features and engine power, there isn't any much difference.

However, buying a bigger engine car with higher HP and Torque always give a better peace of mind in terms of a better driving satisfaction...
Good luck mate...

Since there is short shortage on 2.0L Forte, they are not able to provide the 2.0L test unit. Personal owner who is generous enough will have to sponsor own review and share with us. When taking my Forte at Naza yard at Rawang, there was another fellow taking his 2.0SX. I would not dare to touch his baby other than just look at its engine as most owners will not be happy if another guy touch his new car especially interior. smile_big.gif

Anyway, from the rear, the bodykit does mimic the Avante INCUS type...

Maybe most of the 2.0SX owners are still waiting for their cars... smile_big.gif

thanks for the feedback guys. i've tried the 1.6, power is not too bad, but i can imagine with 2.0 things will be a whole lot better, not to say with 6 airbags and cruise control really completes the deal. I think forte is the best package in the market! but i have to say, its steering design really need to improve, look at hyundai tucson's steering, that is very very nice!!
