i'm so green with envy now..huhuhu...

anyway, u booked during the softlaunch? what about all u guys, perhaps we can share our booking date? just to see who get what first

as for me, i've booked on the day of the softlaunch, black 2.0..been following up with SA, but no real indication of delivery date yet..the best he can give was "a week after formal launch"

and your point is? is there anything useful u wanna say? u can keep on barking about high price blablabla..would that change anything? do u think voting for other parties to rule the government will change this at all? politics will always be politics...

stop trolling..this is an owners thread..

go study harder,get better result..work harder, get better pay...one day u will manage to afford a car of ur own..

hehehehe...yes bro..somehow or rather things got veered offtopics...

okay brothers & sisters, lets move along..dont feed the trolls in this forum..keep things strictly constructive/informative/witty/funny/entertaining...no more politics or rhetorics...for those who insist of voicing those boring stuff, please feel free to keep it to yourself or go to kopitiam sections & create own thread there...

i think the majority of the soon to be inspira owners here already use/own multiple cars, all matured adult..so, bottom line is, we buy the inspira because we want one, we are well informed and known all the pro's & con's of owning a car...please dont come here sounding like mr.know it all because thats purely rhetorics, tax lar, cheap cars lar, better future lar (how does proton/car tax effect our children future?)..by all mean, go bark somewhere else...nothing is perfect in this world, give or take, one thing cheap, other things expensive..open your eyes, open you mind..malaysia is a great country, be thankful..

anyway, anybody else got an actual date of their car delivery? and does the price revision confirmed?

Forte 2.0 features

1) got on/off 'start button' - inspira probably dont have this
2)17" rims??? - not sure, most likely inspira 16", but wait until 10 Nov for for actual Inspira specs
3) engine?? - it does have the same cyclinder block..but difference maybe on the head & crankcase
4) FC?? full tank can go how far if +- hiway/town - probably owner of this car can give a review, for inspira, again, hav to wait for actual model due to differences of specs & accessories


Inspira 2.0 features

1) tripitonic (dis is really good deals) - CVT gearbox with virtual 6speed, seamless & supposedly more efficient, against forte 4speed torque converter gearbox
2) dont know about the sizes of the rims - again, 10 Nov we'll get the answer
3) MIVEC (good factor) - variable valve timing on both intake & exhaust valve/ports
4) not available yet - just 5 days to go!

** independent rear suspension against forte torsion beam rear suspension..basically torsion beam is where both wheel attached to a single steel beam, what one side does, the other side of the car will have the opposite reaction, meaning the will be a swaying effect/body roll..reason manufacter use torsion beam bcoz its cheaper..

that sure is one thick tyre

not to doubt u or anything, but if im not mistaken from previous pics posted, the tyre use was 205/60/16...only the final launch specs will answer all this i suppose...

yeah..even now we still having conflicting informations...proton still teasing us

wait a minute...this pics in autoworld ;

http://autoworld.com.my/emzine/vimage/show...ch.&T=undefined

it uses 18" rim..same as lancer GT...why would proton test 18" if they not putting it on the inspira..could it be 2.0 will have 18 inchers?

good work bro..interesting development here.....

thanks bro...seems that 2.0 red & 2.0 white are the most popular...followed by silver, black and 1.8's...

eventhough it supposedly only a few days left, but the wait is murder i tell ya...i've actually checking up on my phone from time to time expecting a call from my SA

anyway, been told by my SA that 200units are already in PDI (pre-delivery inspection)..sure hope its is..

demm...later, u can actually see but not have it..that would be reallllyyy painful...come on proton, give us a pleasant surprise..how lovely it would be if we can get it before Eid-Adha...

same here bro..booked at COE Crystal Showroom on day of soft launch 11am something like that...loans already approved 2weeks ago...now just waiting for the car....counting the days....

hahaha..we'll see..i hope all of our gang here can get their rides as soon as possible..say hi if anybody see anyone of us taking delivery of the car on the same day

yeah..i can say perhaps majority of us book on 1st day..some even before that...

will review after a good drive on a proper road, perhaps go breakfast in genting highland on the weekends..that if got the car this week of course!

yeah, cannot stress the engine more then 3000rpm while in run-in period..well..perhaps balik kampung first for Eid-Adha..back & forth & normal daily commute, 1st service should be in 2weeks after getting the car i guess...hehehe

i was informed that for 2.0 cvt, 110km/h only slighty more then 2000rpm (due to the virtual gearing ratio optimization)..for 1.8 manual, 110km/h around 3000rpm on 5th gear (still, due to the gearing ratio)..

correct me if anybody else have other/updated informations...

normal daily driving will do..just to to over-rev..yeah, drive gently normal usage, shouldnt take more then 1month to do 1000km (unless u seldom drive)...

as for registration, im doing interchange..reusing my current number...for the sentimental value

all elements in this world will oxidise..

i guess the actual question was is the inspira paddleshifter are exactly the same as in lancer GT..or isit plastic instead..

hrmm..its really weird..since that the engine & ecu tuning are not been changed in any way by proton..i guess they just quoted the minimum power & torque figures


"typical" 4B11 Specifications

Engine type Inline 4 cylinder DOHC 16v, MIVEC
Displacement 2.0 L (1998 cc)
Bore 86 mm
Stroke 86 mm
Compression ratio 10:1
Fuel system ECI multiple

Peak power 108-114 kW (147-155 PS) at 6000 rpm
Peak torque 198 N·m (146 ft·lbf) at 4250 rpm

perhaps due to less accessories such airbags & such?

or change of certain parts with lighter high tensile steel (my speculation only)...

but less weight is good!
