its a honda euro type-R for crying out loud...
do u have any idea how much work honda, renault has put into the development to ensure that even with torsion beam, their car can really handles?
and check out their target market again for their car.... outright performance.... comfort is the last thing on their list...

and now compared it to bread and butter cars like forte, slyphy, vios, altis, saga etc...

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...

(^__^)

you will never be able to satisfy everyone.Cuz KIA fanboy will say forte is the best while Proton fanboy will say Inspira is the best.

I am a Honda fella,and I am saying a PROTON INSPIRA is the better car.SO go figure!

But if you have a chance at hosting MTGSE ,i would love to attend the show in person.Would be great to see how Japs can put a nail in the coffin to this Jap vs Kor argument.

inspira is originated from lancer. lancer is from a japanese car maker.

And they still can't win against CM98 alone. But then CM98 has shown some interests in Forte. Forte will get a formidable supporter if CM98 decided to switch camp. So beware all of you Korean-bashers!

**@CM98,
Please take it as compliment. I admit sometimes I got bored reading your arguments (because you're always emphasize on resale value) but I can't deny the truth in it. However, if you're offended with this post, please let me know. I'll remove it.

lets see renault and euro civic (non type r) uses t-beam all set for comfort bias also
so did citreon and others.... so what gives? bad for performance? nope the above statement says its capable to be tuned for track
bad for comfort? nope cause most comfort bias cars also use t-beam so whats wrong with it? hmm.gif

not good enough???

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"

Come on man..do your maths..check out fortes weight..what rims forte is using? 17inch! What is the spare tyre for the forte? A full 17inch rim with original tyre! The car is so heavy and is powered by a 1.6.. OF COURSE you expect it to be slow laaa...sheesh..it's already good that the 1.6 gamma engine can take the load and provide sufficient power to move the car..and why are you condeming forte until like this?! You know why Kia is throwing all the "goodies" in? Yes it's marketing but don't you think its a smart marketing plan? Kia wants to gain back the consumers trust! Which is obviously working..pls think and research more before you condem cars..

1. Agree, coz body and RIM(5 of them) are heavy. 1.6 n 2.0 body....but not too underpower when engine breaks in..
2. 1.6 lacking in engine power...yes, coz that body+rim mainly design for 2.0 or the new 1.6GDI engine.....BUT!!!!!!!! FC's good....better than 2.0(cause i owned 1.6)
since TS said, power nt important 4 him, 1.6 is good enough...
3. that will be without those EXTRAS....Korean team design it that way, means by stock.....no EXTRAS....those are the main functions of Forte itself
4. 1.6 engine is good.....do u think like the 1st campro engine???as bad as that?? stup1d...i happy with it....it gaves me driving pleasure....y nt?? from point A-B right??
5. not bother abt the EXTRAS??? hw u start engine then??? and most probably, ended up in accident if power is strong(if u unable control it in 2.0) if without those 'EXTRAS' u r talking abt

so, plz dun bash Forte again ok?? go play with ur NHC.....and we all kiss u bb

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
*
1. Comfort&Spacious=Forte EX
2. Good FC=Forte EX
3. Good resell value after 5-7 yrs=not for both...mayb unknown
4. Good aftersales service=Naza better...by abit
5. Reasonable spare parts=Proton if CKD Inspira, if CBU Forte MIGHT win

no point talking about resale value here... it is something that dont exist! YET!
so leave it till next time. even forte resale value also remains unknown to me yet. so why bother to compare resale value?
why talk about something that dont exists yet?
