Jeremy clarkson?

Since you like to review cars, what a reason forte is a piece of crap? I think many of us would like to know.

Yeah i'm quite curious too..maybe kevin23 should do a full page review on Forte.

^^^The min reason of all time : no resale value....

U compare this to Kia spectra? How low is the second value now? Drop 40k per year?

eh guys, i am nt bashing Inspira....
i juz put on a review on that salesman's review on Inspira ...ok?? on his behalf only....
i juz wan every1 knws wat ppl think bt Inspira, and wat they r comparing with....surely Ford Fiesta salesman sure say it good la....

and also, yea, sry 4 nt doing on research on 'hill climb assist tech'....i m really wrong abt that....
but 4 1 question...isn't Fiesta 1.6 HB Sport really using DSG?? that wat type of gear it uses?? definitely not CVT....

I dun like bash car, and i never said i wanna owned Fiesta...i was juz saying considering only....I m a happy Forte owner, although it had sounds here and there after accident, still struggling 2 find a way 2 get rid of those sounds....even with it, i never regret of buying 1st batch Forte.....if nt, i wouldn't hv buying it rite??

every1 had the right to knw abt each car....juz as i was forwarding that salesman's opinion only...

i guess i rather surrender...i dunno much abt cars...bt in this forum, as we discuss, we can knw more rite??

sry 4 making every1 say me as childish....probably, i never do research...and said things without facts....next time, anything i say wrong, pls correct me, dun say me this n that...as i mentioned, i dunno much abt cars technologies....i m from IT field graduates, not cars stuffs or mechanical stuffs graduates....

it uses its own powershift dry double clutch gear...

DSG is used only by VW.

so, wats diff between DSG and double clutch gear??

what I know is
DSG = dual clutch made by Volkswagon
Powershift = dual clutch made by Ford

So you tell me whats the different between DSG an double clutch gear?
I cannot tell u also..lol

lol....basically i think the functions r the same??

i think so... but u really should google it because you're IT student.

You really failed because since you're IT student, you should know how to
google and get answer.

Added on February 22, 2011, 1:47 ambut I dunno what you're trying to get to. You mean, u can substitute DSG into
Fiesta because it function the same?

Then can I ask u if u mind to substitute your penis with another guys penis
while having sex with your wife since the function is the same? You can't right.
So there you go.

haha, i dun really likes to do research alot...i can juz ask for opinion here.... xD

if u lazy do research, then u should stop posting and instead, read only. Else, you give wrong
info like the Hill Launch assist thing. Else, you can expect more ridicule from other forumer.

I see.. so your city is worse than crap? It's the crap that crap craps? Yuck...

Inspira is totally a lancer with a proton badge..Check the Star News....Everyone know it's a Twisted Lancer..A slight changes...U called it a Inspira..
Come on, if not due the heavy taxes we have to pay and proton relying on the government ...Everyone are able to own a toyota camry..

Proton need to improve the quality and should reduce it's price..

Checks this out on the stuff i just found on the net....

FORD dual clutch and DSG are same objective and very similar gear structure. Objective is to shift faster than manual cars. Both have 2 clutches inside the gear box. You cannot substitute each other as they are from different companies.

As for the hill launch assist. It is used when you are at a standstill. Sometime auto gears, torque converter like the forte, at a very incline slope it tends to move backwards in the D gear position. With Hill Start assist. your car would not move backwards and lock inbetween and once you accelerate you will move forward. Of course you will argue, this is best function for incline in idle mode.

Function wise, DCT, DSG, S-Tronic is the same just different naming conventions.

saw alot of inspira in Taylors Lakeside campus!

I personally think that the Forte (despite it not being a good drive) is a better car than the Inspira.

I felt that the Forte was a bit more comfy (when I test a car, I tend sit everywhere.. driver, passenger, back seats except boot.. heh).

I think that the Forte has better specs.

Last but not least... doing the maths, Forte's 2.65% vs 3.5% interest rates for Proton kinda seals the deal.. if I was buying a Forte.

For that kinda money, I'm now considering the petrol variant of Ford Focus with 0% interest and 3 year (or 60k km) free service... besides being a better car to drive, nothing beats a 2.0 driving experience (except the Golf TSI so far and the PUG 308THP comes close) despite it being an older model with crap features and date looks.

no offence, just my 2 sen.
