Inspira is same segment as Forte lar...both are comparable C segment. The price of Forte 2.0 isn't that far off from Inspira 2.0, so question of insane tax like City and Dugong is not an issue. IMO, both cars are good buy...just see which one you like more. The engine in both Inspira comes from the same branch of the World Engine with modification by Hyundai and Mitsubishi to their own version. KIA has improved a lot in the Forte and making waves worldwide...but i believe it's  the 2.0 or 2.4cc version that is making the waves...not the local stripped down 1.6 which i feel is pretty underpower after test driving.

I have made a decision to go with Inspira after much dabbling, mainly because i don't trust NAZA support, at least for Proton, their MD DSZ is very out spoken and dedicated to improve Proton and can be contacted in case you have a serious complain. And also i like Proton Ride and Handling™ much better.... But i actually much prefer the Forte sexy design (except the rear is too high for my liking) over the older Inspira/Lancer exterior outlook.

Both cars are good buy over expensive junk like City and Dugong...seriously!! Whichever you choose, both are good buy!

Forte is the best wait for 2nd batch 6spd release 1st....as for nw, Forte in CKD terms is still new to Malaysia, thus they needed more experience to solve the problems(sound problems)....wait 4 2nd batch will b much more better...i rather wait for new Hyundai Elantra(Avante in Malaysia), as is fully CBU unit too...

But Inspira already few batches ahead than Forte but yet still got all sorts of problem.... In fact, more than the first batch...... Even the Info button also cannot fit properly.....

Well, the fact is still a fact.... Early batches of Forte are CBUs, so we should keep that aside. We talk about CKDs on both and see which has more problems... Still, Inspira wins hand down on this..... You can always deny this. But, MFC is an open forum for everyone to read while your club are closed and only certain people can read it.... So, 1 forum with transparencies while another have 0 transparencies.....
Am I drunk? Maybe, if that can make you happy to bash me. Shall stick to topic and debate about the facts rather than insult me on some lame excuse.... This will only show clearly you are just a small boy with 0 IQ and EQ.....

yupe, forte is launch way ahead of inspira. my women went to check out forte at the showroom first, she's not very onto it then heard about the upcoming inspira that look identical to the lancer gt. decided to wait and wait and wait - inspira launch, she prefer the more cheap plastic inspira. we paid and went to europe. come back with car ready. ftw

Lol Im sure it's a malfunction of parts or steering cos the car suddenly goes right to hit d divider.. Lol I ask u la if u driving 160++ will u play around wit ur steering? Turning left suddenly u go turn right?? Lol..

traction is juz a safety function, there's no safety function dat can prevent u from DEATH....no matter hw gd ur car traction is....even like F1 cars with superb traction OTR, oso can crash.....

Rim so big for wat?? y now all sport cars using big rims?? not small rims?? go google wat's the advantages of big rims....why lorries nids use bigger rims than ours?? y not lorries n buses uses 12'' kancil rim?? do u think of that?? can u outsmart the manufacturer?? can u outsmart those who did the calculations of a vehicles?? y muz u b so tiny brained??
airbags are expensive, yes.....but wat if u got side impact n front impact at the same moment?? u wan die or alive???
Inspira is nice, but still not as tough or safety as Forte....but still Inspira 1.8 still worth for bucks, but not 2.0 version....

It's either that guy is drunk or it's malfunctioning cos even a 5 years old will turn steering to avoid crashing.. By the way it happen at SKVE tho..

xtra features....can b as much as Forte 2.0?? tell u the truth...even Forte 2.0 FC n power can outrun Inspira...maybe on par...or maybe further..

sure....FC try vs mine 1.6...performance, try get another 2.0 Forte owner...they hving drag race events currently...., well Forte do provide superb quality LCD screen......a fully touchscreen HU....haha, most of KL n penang owners are using 'em nw...with GPS, TV, DVD etc.

u didn't mentioned came with stock or not either....u can ask 'em for a drag race...u knw forte club fb page rite??

so called strip down quality version of lancer = Inspira....i dun think the quality were as good as Lancer EX n Forte....Inspira = cheaplak Lancer wannabe.....I've seen inside Lancer EX n GT, is better than Inspira...more solid than Inspira....nothing good for Inspira except the handling n suspension tuned.....for me, i rather get Lancer over Inspira....but I choose Forte over both coz of bang for bucks value, and QA better than Inspira....n of coz, Inspira 1.8 wins over 1.6 in displacement value....and slightly bigger size...wait 2 c new Elantra/Avante release, Inspira will scream like hell....

which one ye brO.. maybe can edit some part..
