Somebody told me might be getting car around march for 2011 stock. becoz the need to clear all the 2010 stock. unless it's a very goreng pisang one lar. production nov..nov takeup. production december..dec takeup. then it'll be a different story.

if everybody just wait2. might be total booking today still 1800 as per launch lar. . production 1600 per month.

Our very own Inspira Club is located here: http://www.inspiraclub.com/viewforum.php?f=39

guys, is the pickup really that lousy? actually im persuading my mom to buy but after saw bermacam macam comment.. have to think twice... is the pickup etc same with lancer? cos i nvr drive lancer before...

go and test drive ur self .... dun hear other say ... most importance is u and ur mom like it ...

same la...engine and transmission EXACTLY from mitsu japan

what's wrong with you anyway? i said for those butthurt lancer owners only. if you are not butthurt then dont feel anything lor.

Twice already i been offended. the first time someone saying i dont have any cars and poor man.

Now second time someone saying i accused ALL lancer owner instead i wrote ALL BUTTHURT lancer owners.. fu*k up.. i cancel my booking.

TS, take out my name. Sohai people around.

Wahh...like this also have aaa. "Marah Nyamuk, Kelambu dibakar".
1 win for lancer owner.

fellas, new thread new beginning okay? enough of labeling.

agreed..

i trust our capable firedauz will have a pretty good idea what to do next

oik Bang Dauz, 31 here..!!
T/Black 2.0

Welcome to Team Inspira.. hahaha!!

fuuyohh..v2 liao har... congratz..even though i dun book inspira..haha..

I jz went to Mitsubishi showroom and spoke to a manager. He a friendly chap.. We jz had some chat and he quite honest though. He says Proton is doing a good job collaborating with Mitsu which helps Malaysian to get affordable car. Those ppl mentioned Inspira is not good is just trying to butthurt ppl only. I am also being told that body of inspira is using the same material also except some interior different.. MALAYSIA BOLEH..

Regarding the CVT tranmission, he say there are not complain at all for the overheat issue. Jz take care by maintaining the car well after doing high rpm.

Still wondering when I get my inspira.

again, I am poisoned

Pls count me in. Inspira 2.0 Solid White

welcome welcome..pls join us at www.inspiraclub.com

dont forget to add me 2.0 black

+10 for this honest review..

Now you prove you are butthurt, I am not the one have problem here, you are by labeling such thing, no such thing as butthurt inspira owner or butthurt lancer owner, it's their money, their choice, whatever the outcomes later, be it good or bad on either inspira or lancer, they are the one responsible for it, grow up dude, get a life.

Cant agreed more.

ah like this also can? cancel order bcos some comments. buy car is to use and for commuting.

so wat car u goin buy now?

u got see on his table onli got gardenia white roti and milo? LoL

pity them mitsu sales ppl. will eat maggi if lucky. time to close shop or maybe jz sell trucks n pickups

Today went to proton to check out the inspira, the SA told me if you book now, it's a 5 month waiting period hahahah, lucky mine booked long time ago, but still not sure when i am going to get the car..

5 months? lol!!!

Today, I ask at nearer PE again, they say that for 2.0, take 2 to 3 months. For 1.8, take 1 month.

Any of you guys got experience sending the car to any of these service centers?

1. EON Jalan 225
2. Proton Edar Mutiara Damansara
3. Proton Edar, Section 13, PJ
4. Proton Edar Centre of Service Excellence, Subang Jaya

Any other recommendations?

Can i check with everyone here who have done their loan approval.
afaik HLB could offer 3.3%, how many years warranty will be given? Is it 3 years? if i extended warranty which cost me another 0.2%, which mean i would have 5 years warranty? Pls correct if i m wrong. tq

According to my SA, Proton is offering WARRANTY for 1st 3 years or 100,000km. So if you were to opt for the EWP just add another 0.2% and you get additional 2 years, so total will be 5 years or XXX (I am not sure how many KM extra). So yes, you get 5 years in total. The con side of it you basically cannot skip the scheduled service and service must be recorded each time and be performed in SC only. Outside workshop does not count and if you have claims you need to submit and wait for approval or else you pay 1st then hope can claim the full amount later. For me 3 years of going to SC is more than enough.

how come everyone is getting good interest rate?

i go HLB today, the rate is the same as mentioned by P1.

I used to go to the COE off KESAS. Many cars there for regular services and warranty claims too. Big waiting room with a TV and 2 PCs with free internet usage apart from plenty of the Sun Newspaper including others, old-edition car mags also. There is a canteen on the 1st Floor. All those in full air-conditioned surrounding, but of course not the service bays which are really many in numbers.

Spare parts readily available too with several senior service advisers. Proton's technical and non- technical brasses officed there , i think.

Used to see Dato' Syed Zainal Abidin's car parked there plus Proton Directors too.

It could be different now though.

guys...those who reviewed the car performance, is it possible to make it more objective..try to make a direct comparison with an equivalent car..

if you're saying the 2.0cvt car performance is sluggish, in comparison of what, an Civic, Altis, Slyphy, or even a proton GTI? this will put things into better perspective...

be mindful that this is a 1.8 manual, 1.8 & 2.0 cvt automatic sedan..it aint a supercar we talking about here..

THanks for ur sharing mate...
For myself i think the additional interest rate is just 0.2% (pay additional 600++) only for another 2 years. it kinda worth it.
If their engineer is really that lousy, then perhaps can send it for others mechanic for repair... just my own opinion

Thanks for staying level headed. You have my respect. But can everyone stop this "butthurt" word? LOL. Can't you say dissapointed, or sad, or angry or furious peeved or livid or whatever else you can think of. "butthurt" implies one gets raped from behind, and even if you don't mean to degrade anyone, by using the word, you already did.

Anyway, I think it would be cool if someone could compare the 2.0 Inspira to the 2.0 Sylphy. The Sylphy's CVT is really really excellent. I feel nothing of the "rubber band" effect some people relate to CVTs. Engage the sport mode, and it can really run! Tap the accelerator and it responds almost immediately.

BTW, there's a possibility my manual can arrive next week The SA or the center is refusing to sell me the car cash, so... I'm taking the smallest loan possible. As soon as that's done, they said the car can probably be delivered.

Thanks for the info. Not using Proton any more is it? How long ago did you go there? How about service time? Do they take long? How long would it take for (a) Lub Service (b) Minor Service © Major Service?

Cost wise its okay for me too, I nearly wanted it. I decided against it when the thought of making appointments for servicing (as I like to go for servicing at my own leisure) and the insecure feeling of not knowing who will be playing around with your car for 3 years is bad enough, would be unthinkable for me to pay additional for another 2 more years in SC.

they are stupid or what? usually u have the upper hand.
just threat them that you're gonna buying other car if cannot pay cash.

They are not stupid. I have confirmed with 2 other people dealing with cars. The bank pays out a fixed 600 comission for any loan taken. Basically, the first year interest goes to the SA. This is extra comission over what they get from proton, so... It makes a lot of sense. My only argument is my purchase is a confirmed purchase, while others may not get approved, but that's not valid since there's a waiting list a few months long for the Inspira LOL.

That word should be banned. And I agree with you, its degrading. I am too guilty of using it in a few previous post and not going to use it anymore.

The CVT is really smooth thus you may feel the rubber band effect. But like you said, turn on the sport mode then you can really feel the power immediately. Its not that lacking in terms of power. Just when you need the power, turn it on. Good to have and not necessary you need it every time.

Give cash also don't want to sell it to you? Wonder why must take loan.

Still using proton, just that after 10k km, about a year ago, all services done at SC nearest to the house. Did not require any warranty claims since , at 40k km now on the Persona. Therefore, no waiting required.

Service duration was standard, major job taking longer than minor. All according to Proton's Client Charter (piagam pelanggan) . So, do it at any other Proton SC with complete tools,equipment and diagnostics the time taken will be the same.

Sorry , would not be able to give you the standard hours for different service categories. i whiled away the minutes by burying my face onto the PC screen, read newspapers and drink up in the canteen at COE. No qualms about going there again.

u kensel ur car becoz of that?
now i really think u dun really afford any car n a 2"

Bank will pay fixed rm600 commission to the SA for whatever amount of loan taken by the customer... no matter how big is the amount of the loan, it is still fixed at rm600 for commission. So in this case SA will ask buyers to at least take the minimal amount for loan so that they can earn some additional income...

WELCOME TO DA CLUB YO~!

NAMES ARE NOW UPDATED UPFRONT!

SELAMAT HARI RAYA HAJI & HAPPI HOLIDAYS~!

Thanks bro. I should give the place a try when I'm due for service. Do I need to make appointment or can drive in straight?

stop messing around with him

Plis put my name, 2.0 plum red..heh

finally make up your mind eh?

There is a security guard as you enter the gated compound E, the covered reception area where you park before being attended to. Same place to collect car after ready serviced . No prior appointment the guard would ask you to go somewhere else.
Another set of guards at the main entrance beforehand, of course.

Always make the early morning appointments. They all break during lunchtime even if they are in the midst of doing your car.

I want to get the 1.8 manual

yeh yeh... we can have Forte + Inspira TT soon!

so far only new city TT with us

civic & lancer dowan TT with us hope u all no problem ok!

Any idea why? Personally i don't see a problem for Inspira to do that in the future.

wow nice 1.8 cvt

1.8 Manual! + Turbo walanleh! dam good for tuners......

haish if u modified that car i have no idea what speed that car can go

can we custom request the 2.0P body kit to be fitted to the 1.8 manual during the booking?

add me in !!! 2.0 white!!

welcome welcome!!

welcome, more people are reporting in, nice!!

Now hopefully my latio can sell well..

+1 for this.. love this idea!!

and don't forget to bring pop corn and coke to watch fanboy argument.. kakakakkakaka
jk...

u know what i mean in other vs thread.. hahahaha

No car yet, so no TT yet ..

now already V2 but no car yet...hopefully doesn't need to wait until V3 to get my car.

u guys should start making noise from now okay. don't wait until last min and then they deliver your cars late (next year).
which is will void the t&c on free 2 years maintenance.

pressure them to give free maintenance for this year booking (maybe until end of November booking) and not depending on when your car will be delivered.

just my opinion.

WAITING AND WAITING AND WAITING

actually, was told that the waiting period is 1.5 months from booking date....so still got 11 days to before 1.5 months is due.

just noticed they added extra 3in thick polystyrene foam in boot to compensate for space saver tire well to allow inspira to use full size spare. that makes the available boot space height lower than usual. anyone checked this?

also i checked the front sub frame & rear suspension frame seems diff from lancer! let's do some digging for more info here ......

it is different... that's why a lot of reviews say it's more comfort rather than sporty... Proton Ride and Handling.

It can be very different to any car in whatsoever way. I could make an educated guess that most of us 34 people in the page-1 list wants an Inspira and not be all too concerned if it dissimilar or similar to any Lancer, parts-wise or features-wise.

My name still not added

Agreed. If Proton wanted to just do a plain re-badge they would have not gone through the trouble to re-engineered the whole suspension system, so a difference on the setup would be expected as well. I will take Inspira as the way it is now, no complaints.

i wouldn't take the inspira, if it wasnt for the 4b11, CVT and RISE

I booked the Inspira 2.0 black yest.
Not sure when can deliver to me
