today went for a test drive for new 1.6 6speed , to my surprise, the car feels very light, compare to previous 4 speed. the paddle shift is fun, just some short distance sprint and some paddle shift and some brake bahaya.

not bad at all. Tested forte right after i came out from proton showroom, the inspira 1.8 pale in comparison. this is what i think, no flaming pls.

inspira= bigger cc 1.8, bigger semi bucket seat, bigger rear seat.

forte= paddle shift, 6 cd changer, auto aircon, auto headlight, side mirror folding, bigger boot, map light and cosmetic light for both front.


Passenger would love inspira more, since its really bigger interior, more leg room, but boot smaller.

but driver will appreciate forte. especially with all the bells and whistles. so many things to impress ppl. definitely bang for buck.

now i'm not sure which to choose, 2 liter? or 1.6 ? since 1.6 with 6 speed is powerful enough.

and everyone is going green, 2 liter sure hurts my wallet a lot and petrol will only going upward in future.

so guys, 1.6 or 2? though i have to say, 2 liter is a little pricey too tongue.gif

thanx again sallehsi...
btw seriously u dun feel a bit of "float" when turning at high speed?
wonder why both d test unit i had felt that way sad.gif
although i love d car a lot but felt a bit unsafe though...


Added on February 14, 2011, 11:13 pm

Turbo,
my same dilemma here as i need 2 drive frequently within kl city..
btw which showroom u went to?
hows d SA?

ray, i think the float might be due to the tyre is over inflate. i feel floaty too today, but the first time when i drive 4 speed, it felt planted wink.gif.

my fren tested to the limit last time, so i have no doubt on its stability smile.gif like 80-100km/h 90 degree turn, lol.

probably 1.6 makes more sense....since ppl started to drive honda hybrid dy, lol.

i test in pch showroom, sales man as usual is frenly.

proton salesman is more like gomen servant, u need anything, u go find one. lol.

Thanx 4 d info turbo, it could be that possibility...
1.6 huh? i was thinking about it especially since it should consume less petrol but when i tested d 1.6 4-speed at TTDI (which is d only test unit), it kinda felt underpowered even compared 2 my city idsi 7-speed although i agree that city should be lighter but forte should have more horsepower rite?
*
u gotta try 6 speed again, and see if its better smile.gif

btw, forte = 13xxkg, and your city is 11xx kg smile.gif

but then, u gotta try the 1.6 6 speed, to me, i felt that it feels way way faster.

come to think again, its better to get 2.0 over 1.6? dilemma now tongue.gif

kinda worry about FC in future, lol. or should i look at honda hybrid?

but frankly speaking, 1.6 with 6speed is ok, wont complain much, wont let you wanting for more. but perhaps i should test drive 2.0 6 speed

anyone know where i can test drive 2.0 6 speed?
