lol    i can get a much better ICE at accessories shop...

http://funtastickodesign.files.wordpress.c...jpg?w=614&h=460 inspira also got auto climate aircond. it also got auto wiper (rain sensor) and auto lamp.

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.........

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.

1. 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,2. 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 3.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.4. 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.5. 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"

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

he is famous bashing korean cars around the forum. try to see any Korean Car vs Anything (except korean), he'll be there to bash it.

Both cars also don't have
For Mitsubishi is all the bigger turbo brothers

After test drive forte n Inspira at coty2u@matrade, I vote Inspira. Forte nvh very poor  compare to Inspira. Road noise very loud.

are you talking about the new forte with GDI engine or the new Avante will make the appearance in msia?

seems like we can get a preview of Avante in early Dec in PWTC. It's not a launch, but at least ppl can decide if it's worth the wait.

As for the forte with new GDI engine, no comment as I cant find any news from the net.
