izzit??

lancer is bigger

looks more agressive (afterall its a striped down evo)

me no toyota owner - but a fast and furious BMW Z4 - silver and you can see me in Mutiara Damansara - toyotarave is my nick becos I have used it since my younger days when I drove the DX, GL, Laser S, Knight, Saga, Waja, MR2, Supra, then moved on to Contis, BMW 318i, then Jeep Cherokee, Opel Frontera, Escape and came back to Camry, then M3 LE, now guess what - an 1.6 SX Forte which I occasionally share with my friend - why? partly becos of the look, but the no brainer for me - I like its gunmetal interior, and the road tax - only RM90 per year -

oh my mistake. is it applicable to lower end spec also?
yup. inspira got autowiper which is good to have.


autoheadlamp both forte and inspira have.

lol just step in and compare the interior for both.. lol..

yes yes... forte's interior is better and stylish.

Hey - why no more squabbling? Just waiting for someone to compare with my barebone Z4, cannot compare with other brands la - so boring and bare.........

Will u feel that kind of small margin?

hmmmm... Honda Euro Type-R using and had rav reviews ?

by the way its not the same as the cars u stated above.... u just assume so.

we're not gonna compare, coz is irrelevant to the topic TS wanted..

multi award winner supercar reynold r32 also used torsion beam...

When i create this thread, it's for my own reference only, didnt meant for ppl to shoot each other or something like that.

i'm not very familiar when it comes to car, can say i'm a noob...been driving either perodua/proton RM50k and below my whole life (same goes to my family). so i'm thinking to get some hearing from those who have drive lancer/inspira/forte and come share wit me so that i can have a better judgement later.

test drive wise, i'm quite clueless if the engine is good, since i rarely speed. tat's why as long as it's comfort, spacious, FC good, practical and good resell value later, that is what i want to get end of the day.

earlier, i gave 3 criteria to select the car, but i've missed out something...

1) Comfort & spacious
2) Good FC (auto only, not interested in manual)
3) Good resell value after 5-7 years
4) Good after sales service (at least during the maintenance period)
5) Reasonable spare parts (in case after warranty gone)

Well, basically i like both design. i'm trying to get one that is suitable to bring a family of 5 driving around.

i know end of the day it's my money, so i can pick anything i want. but rm90k is not a small amount also, so i want to hear all thoughts before making a decision. after all, i'll be driving it for the next 5-7 years, before i upgrade my car again.

thanks again for your inputs

Well jus buy the car u like don criticize Forte or Inspira.
Every car got every pros & cons rite.

dont get me wrong, i'm not trying to ask ppl to criticize inspira nor forte..

jst want to hear all the pros and cons, and from there, use it as reference and make the decision myself later.

anyhow u should test drive first.
then ask appropriate question at their own respective sub forum (or search if it has been discussed before)

if you ask here, non-forte/non-lancer/non-inspira owner will just give a blank shot, bash and criticize without fact.

Lolz,such tiny difference.I bet you dont even bother about it when you are driving the car.If that kinda difference is so important to you,then you must be a very very obese man.

Anyhow,TS why dont i recommend you to test drive the Inspira 1.8? If got budget get the 2.0.

AS for Forte 1.6,pickup is teruk.I dont know how that engine can win so many awards.Dont even want to know.Might not even be credited.

If you must get a Forte,you have to get the 2.0 lah TS,cuz 1.6 seriously lacking in engine and driving dynamics.Its seriously not nice to drive at all.

Inspira on the other hand ,has much better driver involvement .Forget about all those "extras" on the Forte.The reason why Forte has to include all these "EXTRAS" is because without it,FORTE will never sell well in Msia.

EXTRAS like pushstart,auto this and that.All these are marketing gimmicks.The main thing when you buy a car is,the engine has gotta be a good one,driving pleasure has to be there.And forte is not even close to that at all.

DOnt be fooled by gimmicks like mentioned above.Cause at the end of the day,you are gonna drive the car not bother about the EXTRAS when you are driving on the road.

Ok,TS you may close this thread now.Thank you everyone for watching.Dont eat too much popcorn,you might get fat and need a bigger car "LIKE FORTE"

i think like i want to host a Malaysia Top Gear Special Edition (Inspira) next year to bring up challenge from other car with Inspira..so that can satisfy everyone...
