SRY!!!! Wrong person >.<
and u r wrong too, i am not SG ppl...haha
dun wan argue d.....leave u all bashers alone..

Inspira got NO....i repeat NO resale value......
those with resale value, valid for Toyota, Honda and Nissan ONLY
so, stop the crap abt resale value thing

no need information....is up 2 malaysian mindset.....
Toyota, Honda or Nissan only...

see?? EK3 ald release hw long d....now still got 23k....i wonder after 10 years, Inspira will sell hw much.....as u said, GOT resale value.....believe me, i prove u wrong...

resale value means, there's still a high value for that car after 10-15 yrs....
not determine by which 1 is higher, juz say forte resale value = 2k, inspira = 5k, also means both got no resale value....that's y i said, only T&H&N got only

yup, and forte butt still standing

juz wan mentioned, go for Top Gear, to see the review of Proton cars, and KIA cars....proton rating 0 and KIA at least got 5..
Proton featured : Neo, Gen2 and Savvy, P2 will b Kenari, Kelisa and Myvi
KIA got alot(Forte not included, but new sportage and soul included too)

never 1 P1 or P2 cars they praised, only little for Gen2 and Myvi

well, u all dig up the old thread again, which i dun wan even read or hear it....tired of all these arguments...

i m tired of it.....since hyundai coming avante, definitely either inspira or forte will lose hands down..

Spare parts is definitely expensive, i admit that(1 OEM bonet without paint ald cost RM1k++, bumper is also RM1k++ front or rear)....but i should say, NO OEM spare parts are cheap..especially those fully imported ones...(proton OEM consider Local, so no difference)
maintenance, always depends on labour charges....

these are the prices came WITHOUT promo or discount....all price are original...for what i know, is better than Honda....WAY ALOT!!

this is Honda's maintenance cost :
http://www.honda.com.my/civic/extras/maintenance/2006.dot
http://www.honda.com.my/city/extras/maintenance/

can go compare.....and that is the price of honda using mineral oil....

there will be no prediction on resale value....only will know when the time comes....
another thing is, that proton is probably year 2004 or above....that's y so high...
spectra might be in year 2002...same goes with aveo
depend on wat year, and dun follow the price sold by people or 2nd hand shop.
if u really wanna know abt resale value, try ask them, how much would they take in for those models(buy directly from buyer's price)
not selling price....coz, they can put wateva price they wan....
and also, judge on the quality of the car, whether it needed alot of maintenance or repairs, or juz buy and use without much maintenance or repairs
there are alot of things to look into, for resale value....u can't expect a VIOS 05 sells at RM5xk if needed repair alot, right?? the value of the car will drop too(become price like no resale value)....
paint job, anti-rust, check for accident free cars, also does concern in resale value....if that car like VIOS 05 got accident 1 or 2 times, the resale value will drop too....

so, in my last words, u can't judge resale value price base on wat u see in 2nd hand car shop....there are ALOT of things 2 consider b4 selling price came out.....

advantages of conventional autogearbox, u can feel the acceleration power of it, while disadvantage of it is, u feels jerkiness when changing gears(not more modern CAGB anymore)
advantages of CVT autogearbox, u can feel smooth acceleration of the gears without feeling any jerks while changing gears, while disadvantage of it is, not as powerful as CAGB...
advantages of DCG autogearbox, uses in Fiesta, VW and audi, u can feel the advantages of both CAGB and CVTAGB, disadvantage of it is maintenance and cost, way HIGHER than CVTAGB and CAGB....
Now modern cars with 1.6 above ald had sports mode(a.k.a. tiptronic, shiftronic, sport mode) juz only Fiesta dun hv....that's 1 of the disadvantages of Fiesta....
