i think its nappa leather, it feels the same as in the lancer...reason for it not being stated in the brochure? probably the same reason the MIVEC engine with INVEC3 engine & gearbox, and magnesium paddle shifter not stated in the brochure as well...just not to put direct comparison to lancer selling point..some sort of agreement happening here...

told by the SA if constantly maintain the speed by 100km/hr, the fc for 2.0 is RM0.13/km         

i duno wat to say....

i not sure bout it..but my lancer gts can full tank around rm90+ can go to kl round and back penang in 1 tank..
i estimate around rm15 per 100km highway + town road but 70% more on highway

Added on November 14, 2010, 3:06 pmbtw from the redbull video...i notice the engine sound is so obvious!!!
and how come can hear gear changing sound?? latest mit engine shouldnt have that sound...u cant even hear or notice the car is changing gear from 0 to 100 or from gear 1 to gear 4 ...

its the same as Lancer GT. The last time I went for a ride with the sales guy, he whack the lancer GT like no tomorrow. The sound is identical i can confirm that.

don't mind bout the sound too much as im recording using my phone and the audio pickup is not exactly accurate. Bout the gear changing sound, that was coz of the driver using the shiftronic mode.  But yeah, the cabin noise is kinda obvious especially coming from the wheel arch area.

Normal service RM300++ engine oil 5 liter accept synthetic only around RM230
major service (40K) RM1300++ CVT oil RM 300++

how true is it?

Just checked the 2.0 inspira backseat..too soft I think..at first I think proton just want to cut cost by providing soft seats but after that I went to see original lancer and try its back seat.. Almost the same with inspira

did u ask the mitsu SA about inspira? tell him its not campro engine. see his reaction

100km/h all the way at NSHW from south to central maybe la.

I've to provide some explanations to the issue of central locking as I was d one who mentioned about it in one of the earlier post.

It has keyless entry and central locking mechanism. I used the key to lock and arm my car when I left. I enter it with button on my key to disarm and unlock the doors, all 4 of them.

What it didn't have: when I drive the car, it doesn't lock itself automatically with either brake or rpm mechanism. I've to lock it myself after I enter the car.

I hope I made it clear enough. Don't want to cause any unnecessary confusions here. I love  my Inspira. :-)

when you drive time the doors auto lock

what i know central locking is you lock your windows, so that your children wont accidentally open up the window and throw out.

You are mistaken with AUTOLOCK which mean it locks all your doors after braking or rpm.

My previous car got Central locking, not Autolock.

regarding the CVT, they added the cooler and diverted more air to it..but i dont think it is an issue(for me at least), unless for those who want to go up to 200kmh..which i'll never do.

ABS on the other hand, i have no idea about it..any info on that?

about the ABS sensors..those lancer owners had to change them..not trying to compare, i hv a 2007 idsi honda city, but no such abs sensor problem.

Part are expensive nowadays, and it normal to act funny or spoil after certain years. So be it ABS or gear oil or etc. If it has to be replaced then we dont have a choice, its a part of owing a vehicle. As they say, buying a car is easy but well maintaining it will be difficult.

yea...i was told that the facelifed lancer's ABS issues have been resolved..anyone can confirm?

if u check the sales centre of PE and E

PE
Sales Outlet= 227
Sales Centre = 145

E
Sales Centre=34

Total Sales Outlet/Centre= 406
A total of 406 show room cars are required for each sales outlet/centre.
For test drive, another 406, should be around 812 cars for just sales/marketing purpose if all sales/outlet have 1 test drive car.

If P1 start production on 1 nov, there are only 5 working days before they send out some of those inspira to kuching sat/sun or east coast on monday.

5 x 80 car per day = 400 (not sure whether the production start earlier or not)

So, definitely not enough to send to customer.

If start sending on 20th with same production start date, there's 14 working days.

14 x 80 = 1120 but must send out some for test drive car and need to go through PDI/QA check.. will have different delivery date

based on the news on 25th oct, there's 1500 booking.
Means 10 days except sunday(from 14oct to 25th oct). Average of 150 bookings a day.

1120-812 = 308 cars for customer.

if only 308 cars available for customer, then most likely those who book on 14 and 15 will get the car by 20 something nov onwards.

* the above is a rough estimation on delivery date based on available data from news. Will differs if the p1 policy and production start date and operational days are different.

if i am not wrong, those ABS issue only happen to the 2007 batch car...new batches no problem.

extract from lancer user

Normal service RM300++ engine oil 5 liter accept synthetic only around RM230
major service (40K) RM1300++ CVT oil RM 300++

how true is it?

synthetic oils..maybe, mitsu engine have the affinity to work best with synthetic oil, ever since it 4G9x engine series...observe the GTI, Putra & Wira 1.8...cheap oil will cause the loud tappet sound..

however, not too sure about 4B11 though...eventhough all indication heading that way...mind u, other modern engines do this as well...even the ivtec engines makan oil quite significantly, need to check & topup from time to time..

major servicing, wow..that steep...but rm300 for CVT oil does sound realistic...this is the quirks of automatic gearbox, not only on inspira/lancer..but on all car...if maintained properly, it will serve u well..if not..well..u got the idea..

So major service for this car is RM 1300 + RM 300 (CVT oil) = Rm 1600
Mahal giler...

My contact just informed me that, for booking placed before 15th November, Proton is offering 3.3% interest rate through Affin Bank and Hong Leong bank, in addition to the 2 years free service.
