gearbox can buy 1 kancil

tht's quite a significant loss...i do wonder though, coz honda did have a history in its cvt by the name of multimatic or something like that which were used on the civics previously...but did mitsubishi have any experience in cvt boxes prior to this? coz i did read tht the cvt did have overheating issues too in the 2007-2008 models..

I think they still do. It was a design issue. That could be fixed by installing a cooler.

According to proton, they identified this issue and fixed it in the inspira o_o

Am not a technical person but just want to share below after tested drive the Inspira (personal opinions):

1) Inspira is lack of solid feeling compared to Forte, hence feeling not so secured when in high speed.
2) Handling wise, Inspira (by Lotus) is much better then Forte, cant deny that.
3) Interior, Forte is much more spacious and comfy.
4) Inspira's back seats are just too slumpy dont know can last for how long
5) Checked out the Inspira rear bumper right up to it rear tyres' - u will see double layers above rear tyres. When compared to a Lancer, apparently the finishing in Inspira is not complete (LOL)
6) Overall cost for ownership - Inspira is higher compared to Forte due to higher interest rate for national car.

P/s: Rumours: next batch of Inspira might be going for Campro engine. If you are fancy about the MIVEC engine, should book the first batch now.

Actually any normal drivers out there cant make the Lancer's CVT overheat that easily. Only when its hardly driven at high speed for long journey will overheat the CVT and into limp mode. If i have bought the Lancer, it sure overheat everytime i drive. lol. hence i bought the fd2.

nope not gonna happen

that's why i quoted it as "rumours". As mentioned, I shared this after the test drive and this "rumours" is exactly what that sales agent told me. maybe they are trying their luck to push for more booking i dunno.

you are right.

Proton car is better than korean car honestly.. Hyundai got more bad records and much much more defect compare to Proton.

yeah i did see them stating so as the front bumper allows space for a fitting of a CVT cooler..but it seems that even for the days of the PV6, they have been fitting gearbox coolers as it leads to failures ...that was the trouble that most PV6 owners had..seems like mitsu gboxes run pretty hot

I understand if Inspira & Forte owner are doing debate here but what the hell is with those people that doesn't own the car? You come in bull about your Civic / Altis or whatsoever for what?

No one knows better than those owners out there. Just because you test drive it for 10 minutes doesn't mean you can give comment about it already.

LOL the argument is still going on.Cant believe it.

Anyway just dropped by to say have fun debating.Hope the winner gets a million bucks!

even if they did own the cars, it doesn't mean they know it better than everyone else..this is what's called a discussion and sharing bro...besides, if everyone's to contribute to this, we will have a ever bigger picture of everything even though it may not always be relevant =) and yes i'm saying so because i'm jumping over from one brand to another...

bro .. u dun understand at all
bcoz its a proton! .. no matter what ... they understand the most if its a proton

btw, inspira owners...how many of them actually gotten the car already?

Let's have a race Between Inspira & Forte settle once & for all !!
Location Sepang circuit

ah ok then~ so i should STFU till the Inspira is deliver in front of my door step. U see, no one is boasting anything when we are trying to have some healthy discussions and yet ppl like u come in make the stir and some other fanboys start shooting pointless bullets. Make sure you dont comment any other FnF topics on cars that u dont own or drive for less than 10mins as well.

Inspira will pawn Forte all the way back to Holland!

Holland too cruel !!
Netherlands sound nicer a bit

Ok I know my statement above is unclear. What i'm trying to say is those negative comments from non-owners. What is with that? Some owner here already clearly stated there is no problem on the specific but some haters come in and say there is problem in it. This is clearly very misleading to the potential buyers.

Healthy discussion? Oh sorry i'm blind maybe. Everyone is already shooting pointless bullets around before I comment. Sorry if you get butthurted so easily but I don't give negative comments on cars that I don't own.
