"when it comes to regular bread and butter car handling, torsion beam will still lose out to independant... and this suspension discussion has been over and done with so many times until we can actually get fedup...." and yet still insist couple axle torsion beam watever bla bla is not your normal torsion beam....
pls refer back to my postings since when did i mentioned whatever beam was superior to independent suspension???
i posted the diff for forte vs others which referred to as by someone which felt disappointed and compare to other h-beam. i also pointed out the tech diff of various h-beam and how its better now. someone then butted in claiming Honda h-beam is better than others H-beam then claim again a H-beam is all the same = bad performance then compared to independent... why keep changing the topic and gold posts?
i have been using MULTILINK SUSPENSION (this is the right term) for many years and have company civic & bmw 3 as well so i know the pros-cons well enough. the h-beam posts is to update the misconception or perceptions if being inferior. but the comparison is only about out right performance which takes up 20% of your daily drive or less???
for me its was simple 75k car with comfortable strong body wide space & boot quite great audio good FC capable for long distance runs without much fuss.
did i say inspira no good? did i say multilink no good? since all h-beam the same then honda's ain't much better right? then why claim honda's beats everyones? for this then i can safely say inspira's handling can beat the crap out of honda's civic's h-beam? then Honda fanboys will claim no way Honda sure beats Lancer/Inspira...... i can't wait to see more new models coming with H-beams from Honda with best handling sales pitch.
"for me its was simple 75k car with comfortable strong body wide space & boot quite great audio good FC capable for long distance runs without much fuss. "
To me this sentence is just trying to justify your purchase.
No one cares how much you pay for the car. Downright question is which one is more value for money.
So stop defending your purchases and answer the question
"
To imply that Forte fans feel that we need to justify our car just because your civics or hondas has a better handling misses the point. In real world the trick is to find which car has been packaged to give you the best value for money and without doubt the 1.8 Inspira is a very good bet."
Lets stop playing compare. Some people think the automatic trunk opening when key is inside is a gimmick.
Some would rather have the power of the vtec and the 5 speed gearbox over the 4.
I dont know why you forte drivers come in and make a big hoo hah about your purchase.
no one cares. move along and answer the thread question.
I stand by the fact tha the forte handling is weak compared to the civic, altis, lancer.
ps . and before anyone says im going off topic, inspira is based on the lancer and many ppl claim that the handling on the inspira is similar if not better.
I personally test drove the 2.0 inspira, i felt the tyres were abit small, handling wise, couldnt tell much cause I wasnt speeding, but it was quite steady.
