Well, as per above..

which one do you prefer?

I'm torn in between also, since both pricing nearly the same. 80-90k.

Inspira
Pros
spacious
engine and exterior material = mitsubishi
price worth the money spent

Cons
after sales service = proton
compromise on the interior quality

Forte
Pros
Price worth the money spent on the features offered
support by kia (assuming better than proton)

Cons
smaller compare to inspira (spacious la)
heard will consume more petrol after few years if no tuning done to the engine (who told you this?)
lower resell value compare to inspira

inspira pros = got 2.0L ver within 90k price range

my vote.. inspira... my preference:

1] Europe brand
2] US Brand
3] Proton
4] Japs (other than T&H)

other from d list... out of my consideration...

let me answer for u all ..

Proton Fans : "Inspira all the way"
Forte Fans : "Forte ! .. better then sucky proton"
Anti Proton Fans : "Hell to proton .. Forte better"
Lancer Fans : "Buy Forte, dun buy copy cat proton"

..... and the stories goes on ..

Forte also have 2.0L...=.=, why dont u mention it as well?

Well, as per above..

Inspira
Pros
spacious
engine and exterior material = mitsubishi (For the first batch only)
price worth the money spent = (of courselah, compared to ori lancer)

Cons
after sales service = proton
compromise on the interior quality (we sit inside the car, not outside or on top of roof)

Forte
Pros
Price worth the money spent on the features offered
support by kia (assuming better than proton)

Cons
smaller compare to inspira (please check the spec first)
heard will consume more petrol after few years if no tuning done to the engine (This is Kia with old model engine, not the forte, OK)
lower resell value compare to inspira (as far I know nowadays p1 cars got lower sale value than p2....somemore this is a 3 years old model, I mean lancer)

+1, this will be a never ending argument. Just test drive both and pick what u want.

And a never ending stupid comments like "Inspira FTW" thats all comment. Inspira-fans,Kopitiam-ers, you don't get additional post counts for that.

Inspira is like buying a pirated DVD. It's not a proudly own-designed car. Only GEN2,Persona,Satria Neo are like home-breed designs.

I am not going to vote for any of them in this poll. Enough said. Surely the poll for INSPIRA is higher because of forumer's support for the pirated-copy car.

i will wait for the hyundai avante then decide

Inspira carry proton name is sux, forte carry korean name even more sux..

If choose one, then go for Inspira for Lancer technology + paddle shift + cheaper parts (compare to korean) + more potential to mod..
