i still dislike the inspira dashboard. Old old design

I received SMS
Dear customer, you are cordially invited to our showroom on 10/11/10 10am for launching of NEW INSPIRA No 6. Grd floor,JLN 7A/62A,Bdr Menjalara, KL

Iwill go to cow or Eon glenmarie. Can test drive at highway.

sport rims look ugly

y got people who don't know how to resize/compress the picture !!!!!

office also the same, sending 4 photo for 10mb in an email. wtf

go booked at proton edar branch.

I very disappointed with the car quality. The alignment of the dashboard uneven between top and front face. The air condition blower adjuster very fragile n look cheap feeling compare to lancer. The steering look cheap with the pariah logo.

When I say it looks cheap means cheap. It does not pass my iso standard. Lancer quality better, it glide smoother than proton. Some mechanism is missing there.

U go to showroom look at the dashboard. Top part and front face, look at the line attach together. It's uneven. It does not pass my iso standard. For the price of 80k+++ I strongly recommend forte over lancer.

i know mutiata damansara got 1.8 AT car to test drive. WHat car COE have?

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.

forte 1.6

inspira test drive only got 1.8. I test drive forte twice, i can feel the power when i floor the pedal. But Inspira i do not feel the power instantly. Power come in progressively and it's quite slow/retard. It should be the 6-speed CVT gearbox responce.

Curb weight (kg) 1,385
Gross vehicle weight (kg) 1,850

do not believe the S.A words. hahaha

i feel that it feel like Bycast Leather, if proton wanna makes big bucks of $$$$

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?

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
