Juz got a review on Inspira juz now, from a Ford salesman....
Acually, i am considering Fiesta too...(since Fiesta 1.6 had better climbing hill power than Forte SX, due to it's function-Hill Climb Assist, if i not mistaken)....
this is wat he told me :

Few mths ago, he organized a convoy of 30 Fiestas up Genting slopes...there are 30 Fiestas 1.6 HB, and 1 Inspira 1.8 Auto....
All 30 Fiestas climb up to Genting, in few minutes time...left the poor 1.8 Inspira alone, slowly climbing up the hill....
After the Inspira reached the top, the owner complained...Is this a car?? Is this the power of 1.8?? Useless, crappy junk!! no power!! lose to 1.6 Fiestas....terrible car!!! but since he bought it ald, he had 2 bear with that trouble....
see?? even Inspira owner himself also complain, up hill climb lose to Fiestas....Inspira had more HP and Torque than Fiesta right?? Customer still complain powerless....

haha, the above is Fiesta 1.6HB vs. Inspira 1.8E, both auto gears, 1 with CVT, another is DSG (Full auto)....
different capacity engine, 1600 vs 1800
still Fiesta wins...

no doubt, Fiesta is a very very good car too....i envy it

Fiesta had Hill Climb Assist, so, in the end, the result and advantages goes to Fiesta....
juz the difference in specs and electronic functions....by alot..

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....

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

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

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

yea. although never owned it, or test drive it, but the features....are really GREAT!!!
I think in FC wise, for 1.6 is much more better than my 4spd counterpart(unless i swap my GB and ECU 2 6spder)

lol!!

I wonder wat had a person's interest in modding cars, makes u all look down on them....
i personally love mod too...as a hobby and past time...
modding is fun, with our own money and time......u guys got no rights on giving us opinion or thoughts to change it....is ur money and time, u plan it, ours, we plan it...juz mind ur own f***in' business!!

Added on February 25, 2011, 2:45 amBoth wise, Inspira and Forte can be moded....Forte can swap their engine to Nissan engines....with a little of modding engine mount..
i've seen spectra with SR20DE, RIA with Cefiro V6 3.0 engine..so, plz dun say korean cars cant b moded....yet, engine block for Inspira, Forte 2.0 and Lancer are from same platform...juz the engine head different..

Inspira got no TCS, Forte got...even 1.6SX version also have ald..

Can minor mod be better than stock original?? 1 is fix by people, another is factory fitted, which 1 u think is better??

Compare to NAZA and Proton after sales, NAZA wins hand down....

About KIA engines, no 1 sure about it yet...tuning had 2 b done in every single engines....not juz KIA engines...dun forget, now KIA engine is consider Global something something ald....no more share with the Old Mazda engine as used in 1st Gen Spectra, Sephia and Carnival

a BIG LOL!!

I will choose either Lancer ASX version or E9...

heard from few FL Forte owners....there's no jerk feeling in the new 6spd...juz like feels in CVT

yea lolx!!!....V2 coming...this time will b FL Forte SX 6spd vs. Inspira
