i test drive inspira today @ COE.

The proton handling is ok for comfort driving but not as sharp as gen2. The sound insulation and road noise quite quiet. Engine sound roaring still can hear but not that loud, but louder than forte.

The car pick up rather slow. You can't feel the pickup. There is lag when you press the pedal instantly @ gear 1. If you compare to civic/forte, you definitely can feel instant pick up.

The audio player is the drawback. The audio quality is terrible and worst than persona/gen2.

The 1.8L fabric look cheap for it's class. The aircond switch is total letdown almost identical to city/vios style. No soft glide.

The 2.0GT leather is PU leather. It's not real/full leather. PU leather do not last long and surface cool down period is slower than real leather.

this time it is tuned for comfort...cant have both at the same time..i think the CVT makes it feel sluggish..and also cuz it is 1.8 la...waiting for those who test drove the 2.0 to compare..

the aircond switch..some prefers stepped glide as it gives more response than a soft glide..

How to know if it is PU leather? most people says that it is Nappa leather though..so which is which? rclxub.gif

Thanks for the feedback

Anybody knows what brand of tint is in the 2.0?

And also the front speaker size? Want to change to a 6 incher
*
we dont know either.. whilst it is a security tint, it lacks heat rejection(as compared to the expensive tints)..is it possible to put a tint over the stock tint?

heat rejection is at 56%... as stated in the official website  smile.gif

but yet I am too looking to put a tint over this tint... don't know what long terms effects will be...  sad.gif

if put another tint(say 50%) then 100% heat rejection? rclxub.gif

then how about the light penetration?

how come the 1.8 is fastest that 2.0 ?
it got paddle shifter,2.0 should be faster

less energy loss as the 2.0CVT has a torque converter

CVT means no torque converter lor... haiyooh.... but CVT transmission lost is between manual and conventional torque converter auto.

with only 22Nm difference in the engine torque on crank, there's no doubt that the transmission lost in a CVT can be easily outperformed by a manual.
*
but according to this article(on lancer's cvt) there is a torque converter. there are CVTs with torque converter...

nissan's cvt has torque convertor..that what they use on the murano, slyphy, etc ...most other carmakers cvt does not have torque convertor..mitsu cvt does not have torque convertor...nor does altis, city, etc etc...

put simply, manual gearbox is the best & most efficient power wise...normal cvt or torque convertor auto gearbox are nowhere near manual gearbox performance...

DSG or twin clutch auto gearbox are effectively robotized manual gearbox, which offer best of both world, convinient, effency & performance...the is the best auto box around..

sorry bro, but nissan and mitsu's CVT are from JATCO and this manual is for the Mitsu CVT

i test drive 2.0 yesterday. The gearbox feeling still the same as 1.8 inspira. I do not feel the oomph, the pickup is rather slow and sluggish. CVT gearbox a big no.
I wish proton could put in DSG gearbox to replace the CVT or back to conventional 5-speed super ECT gearbox

u better day dream la..even toyota using CVT and 4speed auto

CONFIRMED!!

No tweeters on the Inspira 2.0 as well. Like mentioned by drexchan, the wiring is ready, just need to find an aftermarket tweeter that fits. OEM Mistubishi Lancer tweeters going for something like USD70++..  shocking.gif

[attachmentid=1887613]

hmm..means if buy the ori tweeters then can just plug and play? but very mahal leh...around 200+
