My criteria of owning a new car are :-

Comfort driving - whether it's City or highway, and usually 2-5 people in my car most of the time (family). If drive highway at 110km/h, usually my existing proton/perodua will give some noise outside, so, a quiet car and comfort will be good.
Good FC - well, petrol price increasing worldwide, we'll never know when is the next hike. I'm considering between Forte 1.6 and Inspira 1.8.
Good resell value - I'll only sell my car after 5-7 years of driving, not the type that change my car periodically.
Speed, good pickup, sporty, not really my main criteria, but good to have if any.

So if based on the criteria above, which is betta?

comfort driving ; forte slightly ahead(just) in term of nvh rate. but forte was sold in lower profile tires for the looks? and changing to different profile tires
may required the recalibration of mds in 2.0 model. not to mentioned changing tires sizes.
inspira ride is leaning towards sporty feel which is slightly stiffer and more composed.
Good FC ; if you can stand the constant gear changing in traffic jam, inspira 1.8 manual is the choice over the 1.6 forte.
Good resell value ; very subjective issue. korean's car resale value used to sux' to the max. but forte is a new model.
a friend of mine sold his year old car(from his own evaluation) car was bought at the end of last year.
while standard industry calculation render the car to be as good as 2 years old car, thus used car evaluator value his car at 5x,xxx bucks.
he sold it to a relative at 6x,xxx. smile.gif
since inspira was a re-badge lancer, it should be able to hold its value better than its predecessor(existing proton model).

oh, drove a friend's forte before he sold it and test drive the inspira 2.0 too.
and inspira's handling is almost 2 step ahead of the forte. you should test drive and feel for yourself smile.gif
