Only a selfish person would say it doesn't matter. I guess I know where you are coming from, whereby we should not allow peer pressure to form our decisions, but still the rules are simple. If you want others to listen to you, then you should give some room to listen to others. You can ignore the advice of elder people and be successful, no doubt, but you could also fail. Now I also lari topik haha.
I have little qualms that the Lancer GT will be superior, but comparing the coming experience of the Inspira with the Gen2 is... misguided at best. C'mon, if you cannot see the difference in the settings, then you shouldn't even be talking about it here.
Saying spending 900 a month can feed a whole family when spending on proton is another moot argument. So when I buy a honda or a toyota, does that mean 900 will be small change? I bet you don't mean that. So what do you mean then? People who buy proton are low income earners and shouldn't be buying something that costs 900 a month? Maybe. But have you considered the possibility that we CAN afford the 900 a month, we want a C segment car, and at this price, there are ONLY 2 options which are the Inspira and the Forte? And the Forte is stuck with a 4speed auto? For me, the Inspira is the ONLY one that offers MT?
Frame your points correctly, and you will be respected. No one can stop you from voicing whatever opinions you have in the great arena of the internet (Except the mods!), but you can choose to make your voice a constructive one, or otherwise. In the end, nobody wins, and I waste my time getting worked up over nothin haha! Cheers.

Kudos, Bro. Thumbs up.
