I love this thread

LMAO~

BTW, people who choose Forte over the Inspira should just because of the Potong badge or the bad memories from Potong~ Or simply just wanna avoid of buying Potong...again..maybe~

cant believe till today this topic still going on..walau..if u like forte just get it la, if u like inspira just get it..test drive both, see what you like, suit your needs, go ahead.

I chose forte because i love the styling and the gadgets that come with it. I would chose inspira if i'm into a more performance oriented car which I'm not too into that, so i chose forte. I dont regret choosing forte at all because I never even considered inspira

In any case, everyone has their reasons for buying forte or inspira, just test drive both, decide and be done with it. No need for wars like this...

forte 2.0 lost to lancer 2.0?
really bo

by looking at the Forte & Inspira fact sheet, Forte 2.0 claimed the 0-100 is 9.8s and inspira is 10.5s.

clear enough to say that pick up inspira is already loose to forte, mid to high end lagi no need to mention more liao la

btw, the overall interior quality of inspira is much more cheapskate than forte, the sound of door close is not as solid as forte, look at the dashboard...so boring...look at the radio and power window switch... almost same like wira

moreover, i hate the CVT gearbox, so laggy when driving at city or pick up, it just only powerful when u floor it and hold the max output of torq but end up with high FC

still love the conventional auto gearbox, like DSG but forte 6 speed also not bad, silky smooth and responsive and wisely spread of torq at all range of speed

Vote to FORTE !!!:peace:
just my 2cents

looks at the vote.. we knows which one is better.. no need to said this car is more good bla2.. majority wins..

You rather trust a blog than Wikipedia?

bro, this 1 wrong la..forte 1.6's engine doesnt come with dual cvvt.

plus, forte wasnt listed in the car's usage there

hahaha
please la....
this is a well known secret drag between both the club members la... and they are having it again soon... real soon...

figure on paper is nothing... it is bias towards selling point... sales person can use it to sell...
125HP on a 1.6 but when being driven hard, it dont feel like it has 125HP.. it felt much lesser than that (4-spd or 6-spd even)


actually if the inspira has other badge than proton, trust me ppl will worship it..
because at the end of the day its the brand that counts...

if lets say this Forte is from toyota or honda, i can tell u upfront that it will be worshiped like mad..


edit:
even the 2.0 forte is nothing much to shout about when it comes to power wise...
a 1.6 non-vvt engine with manual tranny can easily keep up with a 2.0 forte....

spec wise... at RM 100k region... no car can come close to what the forte 2.0 has on its list...
there is only one choice at that price bracket...

but i can assure you this times is different, when my dad purchase this car , thinking don't wan proton anymore , cause already from iswara > wira > waja, most of them a lot rattling sound, but after test drive vios city inspira,take proton again, why? its value for money and most important you see it in real life and drive it , you will think " ah... this time proton done a great job on assemble job, very well built on inspira".

Forte 1.6 handling sucks bro... test drive inspira urself... forte handling really sucks.. even my friends who own forte said 120 - 140km/h handling very bad!

dude... wikipedia is not always "the truth"
u should know right?

we nv said Forte handling bad....if Forte's handling system for 2.0, yes is good, coz under MDPS....even Civic n Altis oso lose to Inspira lo....the cars that can win are : FD2R n Ford Focus....gd luck Inspira, go vs both those cars....i bet 99.9% it lose to savvy n persona n gen2 n satria neo oso...handling perhaps might be 'bad' in ur case....but car still very stable...even my 1.6 @ 182km/h oso stable...car no wooble2....

Added on September 7, 2011, 1:35 am1. 1.6 under 17'' rims, while 1.8 under 15/16'' rims....whose is lighter?? think la....try change to 15'' rims n c.....i bet 100% u can feel the true power of 1.6 engine.....is juz same theory as current Proton Exora, big body, small engine....
2. u can't compare the non-vvt engine with 2.0 engine of Forte....like u r comparing Ferrari to Kancil.....
think la.....1 is pure performance engine, another is economical....let me ask u la...B16A/B or 4AGE series engine or SR16DE engine....do their FC can b as gd as Forte 2.0's engine??? think la.....if u wan compare like dat....as well i get RX7/8 1.3 engine to tapao ur 1.6 engine.....wan??

1) Rims is not much of a big factor, it is the auto slushbox that is the main culprit as well as the lower displacement. Well if you compare nicely, power to weight ratio with a CVT 1.8 Inspira, The Forte still has better power to weight ratio, the CVT Inspira might have avg 8-10whp more but it can be easily canceled out due to its sheer weight but why still lose, blame the slushbox.

2) What kcng was refering to is the real world performance (doesn't need to be the B series, 4AGE or SR16DE), not on paper and definitely not regarding the engine's fuel consumption. Newer engines with newer technology of course will be more fuel economical. If you wanna compare FC, go take the old 13B rotary and cry

I agreed....but some Kimchi fanboy never say die...every thread also need to say how godly the Forte is...not sianz meh??? ZZzzz.....

what is the kurb weight of the forte 1.6?

real world performance, the cvt will allow the 1.8 inspira to maintain at 6k rpm and the 4 speeder will be constantly hovering at 4-6k rpm. that performance loss is worse.

here are the comparison for the 4b10 and the gamma 1.6 cvvt torque curve. i think we can see which has more torque at lover revs is better for town driving.

look at 2k rpm, which most of us will be at in town

Attached thumbnail(s)

The Forte should be around 1.2 tonnes IIANM
The Inspira is around the 1.3tonne range

If anyone can remove the "piece of black/greyish plastic on the steering wheel airbag cover." i'll pay him to do it, and i'll buy inspira the steering is so good looking, spoilt by the black/grey plastic, lol

Added on September 7, 2011, 9:24 amwell, handling at 120-140km/h? we are in ferrari/GTR thread?

wow.....a family saloon wants handling above speed limit? erm, there are evos and subarus you know?

sedak kawe baco benang ni..rama ore baloh..keto punyo pasal

dude....
MDPS (Power steering) wont help nuts in handling la....



u can even bring that out

really have to give u this


btw non-vvt engine dont meant performance

it basically meant the engine belongs to the old tech category


do u know that a b16a/b16b engine can be very economical if u do not engage vtec at all?
i think u seriously need to look at a bigger picture la...

i have a good friend who used to have a b16 engine and without v-tec on, his fuel economy can be say quite good...
