yup, mine is the old 4 spd Forte. i was refering to 6spd Forte which ald launched....heard alot of ppl ald booked the 6spd Forte...
CVT is juz for smooth acceleration and smooth gear change, as i mentioned.....got nothing 2 do with 4spd, 5spd, or 6spd.....
power of acceleration wise, still lose to conventional auto gearbox...

K3nnYkl82 : Coz Proton is the cheapest brand in Malaysia...that's why...
shinjite : Agree, Evo X got....but I din c any Inspira Police Force here..yet
Maddriver : I am Malaysian alrite....the type of 'Katak dalam Tempurung'...haha
To tell u all the truth...this is quoted by 1 of my pastor's friend.....he said, exterior and space, Inspira is good...but Inside quality is juz a piece of plastic Junk..last saturday was his 1st time sat in a Forte(Mine) he said, at least Forte is worth for it's price, juz 2 disadvantages, which is NOT as spacious as Inspira, and No resale value...but advantages, he's really surprised to look at the build quality of Forte...
Eh, not juz me and him complain @@, there are quite a number of ppl complaining abt internal QA of Inspira as well....at least, 1st gen Proton Saga and Iswara internal build quality is much better than current ones(for me)...

i asked ald....Naza HQ, is 6spd CVT gearbox....no more conventional gearbox...too bad, hw also cnt beat toyota's dual vvt-i and CVT-i's altis...
for both Inspira and Forte

hmmmm....guess HQ also knws nothing....
but at least a better 6spd conventional GB....
i think the 2.0 forte can fix proton's CVT gb right?? since they shared the same 4B11 engine block....not sure bt 1.6, hopefully can too...

PG, KL, Johor, Melaka (Those MyForte Club most active places)..
here in Kedah, also quite alot(Coz KL and Pg Forte owners-non club members) always travel here....

go add power cushion buffer.....comfort level will raise way higher!!

100% AGREE!!!!
last time, yes....i owned a Toyota AE101 SEG 1.6M
so, i knw the quality between that car, and altis(both same segment and from Corolla class)

Added on January 5, 2011, 12:36 pmProton is OK....but will nt buy it until it came out with a very good quality car, like Proton Emas

This post has been edited by XionCity: Jan 5 2011, 12:36 PM

but u can judge on the quality by looking at it....yet, that car is 100% not malaysian made quality, is Italy made....definitely better than cheaplak proton local quality

GET REAL!!

the problem is i had 2 ask u....the same question...how old r u??
do u think EMAS manufactured from Malaysia??? do u think it uses Local items?? If got, also won't use cheaplak things la....
think of it, any1 will interested in EMAS if uses cheaplak things like current protons?? it's in Italy, and do u think they will accept that??
they will juz say, another chepalang car...but y italian loves it?? y EMAS so many ppl love it? i dun think is bcoz of pure design and technology.
oh come on la....that's a concept car, so muz at least hv very good export quality things la.....

u try 2 look at local Wira and exported Wira.....are the quality the same?? if u say same, i would say u're an idiot!!
my fren's grandpa owned an exported version Wira, 1.6 version 1...until now, that car got no quality issue, not even rusted roof!!

i m not mean of judging by the look.....but plz, common sense la....who wans using cheaplak items 2 export??
judge by petrol, Petronas sells RON99, RON 1xx to other countries, u knw?? very good quality, but in Malaysia, they oni use RON92,95 and 97 only....

that's y Forte new facelift can't use the new GDI engine....y? bcoz of our petrol quality, even with current petrol quality, for current Forte also hv problems...
same goes 2 Hyundai's new Avante, also can't use the new GDI engine

I can't say that Proton cars are useless, infact, Exora is 1 of my favorite proton cars.
from wat i see, Inspira is a really good buy, market value can fight with Forte..juz the problem is the bank interest rate is way higher than Forte's..right? so, it means, Inspira cost more than Forte in installments.
that's the reason i see in Inspira.
Inspira for me, i think can service at mitsu SC, due 2 same spare parts availability. Mitsu release lancer way earlier than Inspira, therefore, they might have more technical issue/problem for it. Solve it easily 2..
In term of specs, definitely Forte wins hand down, but as for GB(including 6spd Forte), CVT will deliver more smooth accel than Forte, there's where Inspira win against Forte.
Both Protons and Naza had 2 improve their customer services. plainly i said they both SUCKS, compare to hyundai, toyota and nissan. anyway, u acually, can get Forte's spare parts, from Hyundai SC...surprise right? coz i asked some Hyundai SC, they all said can, but came with abit increase of price tag. Naza always put money no.1, business no.1...but they left out something which is the MOST important factor of all...customer's satisfaction services.
Each 1 had their own mind to choose their budget dream cars...so, gd luck for everyone!!

Added on January 24, 2011, 1:30 pmQuality wise, i got no right to say who's better, but base on Gen2, Satria Neo, and savvy, same goes with Myvi, kelisa and kenari....Inspira quality wins them way lots better. coz in rating of those models, UK website like 5thgear, shows that their quality are really.....very very very very very horrible. in fact, either low or no rating at all....
Inspira is something they did for a change. i am glad proton improved that way. well, of coz for me....Forte is much more better quality than Inspira, that's my thought.
Hey, each person got different opinion/thoughts abt cars right? i am not trying 2 show off my Forte are being superior than Inspira. that's y i said at the beginning, i got no right of judging other ppl's opinion....that's my only thought, and i go for it, as a happy owner of Forte...

Added on January 24, 2011, 1:34 pmso, for me in terms of quality :
Perodua = Perodua Nautica(5 seaters of Toyota Rush, fully CBU)
Proton = Proton Inspira
KIA = Spectra5 and above
Hyundai = i10, i20, Avante X20 and above
Toyota = Rush, Hilux, Camry and other cars above 130k
Honda = Accord and beyond
Mitsu = Lancer GT, Grandis, Colt, Evos, Eclipse

i agree with ciohbu

for me, car depreciates every year...whether is 'TaHaN', still depreciates right?? unlike property. So, wat 4 getting a car with so called 'resale value' when it depreciates, and u ald waste more money for it to maintain it?? choosing a car is from ur heart. it's for SAFETY(my 1st concern, that's y Forte), comfort and with good FC(Forte 1.6 for me, compare with Inspira 1.8)
So, since i will waste more money than i pay for it, i guess resale value = nothing for me..

Added on January 25, 2011, 10:18 ami love this titan-x's post....very very very well said and very nice indeed

This post has been edited by XionCity: Jan 25 2011, 10:18 AM

juz frankly tell u all, LANCER and INSPIRA in term of RESALE VALUE, is TOTALLY DIFFERENT!!....hear that?? TOTALLY DIFFERENT!!!
bcoz of BRAND which PULL DOWN the RESALE VALUE and the ORIGINAL PRICE of the car. thus, LANCER definitely 100% WILL have BETTER RESALE VALUE than INSPIRA....so, DON'T EVER COMPARE between those 2 models..

From what i see, FORTE definitely have BETTER VALUE than INSPIRA. why?? FORTE is a world recognized car, yet INSPIRA is NOTHING in this world, JUZ A REBADGE. can't u all see?? the price of FORTE is around RM12xk in SG, is SGD 5xxxx....so calculate urself....
the reason of CHEAP, is bcoz NAZA OWNS KIA...same, REBADGE..thus the price drops. in anyway, definitely both of them have lower resale value than others, coz of REBADGE...
Don't forget, FORTE is 2010's SG Top selling model....same goes with Malaysia(If compare to T&H C-Segment cars)
The reason of P1 and P2 forever being no.1 in Malaysia, coz of cheap, and spare parts availability...if WITHOUT these 2, P1 and P2 are NOTHING!!

Added on January 25, 2011, 1:21 pmThanks for supporting KIA....xD

Added on January 25, 2011, 1:22 pmFor me, i think the BEST proton cars i've ever rated, is EXORA...coz I love the size of that MPV compare with Livina and Avanza

This post has been edited by XionCity: Jan 25 2011, 01:22 PM

Coz i had fren who owns LANCER GT 2.0 ??? and he asked abt hw much is car value in 2nd hand cars?? and with me?? duh!! if i dunno abt it, wat 4 i said it? 1 year old LGT still had around 100k++ leh..
If Inspira?? i bet 1 year will only have 60k++ for 2.0 model....

Added on January 25, 2011, 1:35 pmyup, i dun wan say anything bad bt ur car, i juz wan 2 say, follow ur own heart...

This post has been edited by XionCity: Jan 25 2011, 01:35 PM

CORRECTION!!! is NAZA....
KIA is in SG and other countries(except Malaysia...for Forte)
hehehehehe

oh, i forget to say...depends on owner hw 2 take care of it.....60k is the maximum lowered price for Inspira, 1 year, if the owner dun take good care of it.....like from 0 mileage to 20k mileage never serviced 1...nv do balancing/alignment...drive oso eyesore....hehehehe
come on...juz a joke..

if u said i m foolish, y dun u compare the price urself?? SG and Malaysia....worth of difference..
