I jz went to Mitsubishi showroom and spoke to a manager. He a friendly chap.. cool2.gif 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.. drool.gif 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. tongue.gif

I was thinking to change the rims immediately once i get the car... if warranty void, is on the rim/tyre only or everything consider void? Is not fair for us right?
*
I had ask my SA about those void things... Rim can be change, tayar can be change, Tinting can be done. Btw, no add on like intake manifold or air intake and such that increase or decrease the horsepower of the car.

For your info, if your original tayar puncture, u gona fix yourself. If your rim crack dented, no waranty. tHEY ONLY GIVE WARANTY FOR THE DEFECT OF THE RIMS.. That all. icon_idea.gif

1. Rims          NO...
2. Wiring (eg central locking)  Depend where the wire link to...
3. Body kit?  NO
4. Tint?  NO
5. Headlight/brake lights?  No
pls note that i put a ? behind 3,4,5...  rclxub.gif

Hi Krepek, I copied my comments from Inspiraclub.com.  Here it goes:
************
Hi there, I am one of the "Lucky 11". Had the car for about a week and find it enjoyable to drive around. I have only done 200km with this baby,,,,  I was away the entire weekend and will drive a bit this week. I was informed by Proton Edar that 2 drivers already sent in theirs for 1st service. I am waiting for my free service coupons to arrive

I have commented about the car in lowyat.net forum. Gonna share some of my findings.

PRO:
Handling is great, ride is comfortable
Road noise is acceptable to my standard
Transmission is smooth
Leather seat is nice and comfortable
Leather steering wheel feels great
Ample leg room for rear passengers
The hydraulic power assisted steering feels solid. I like it better than electric assisted type.
2000cc car within my budget of <100k. At least it is a CKD Japanese car,

CON:
Door sounded hollow when close.
Doors don't auto-lock with RPM or brake applied.
Engine/gearbox noise is loud when I make faster acceleration
The stereo looks cheap. but still a Clarion. Sound is decent.
16 inch wheel..... would have preferred a 17 inch
Boot space seems small. They should have used smaller spare tire to allow for bigger luggage space.

Can't comment of fuel consumption yet as it is still new. I feel it is better to share after the 1st service. Not much comments on acceleration because still taking care of my new baby, until 1st service. Just a general way of breaking-in a new car, in my own dictionary 

Overall, I am generally pleased with the Inspira. It has met my expectations. 
**********

hope this helps.
*
Seems good.. Auto lock can be done later thumbup.gif

I rather drive the 2.0 4b11 Cvt tranny rather than 1.8 manual (4b10) tranny to enjoy a comfortable ride 1st. After 2 years later on, might convert to manual tranny with a BOT.. icon_idea.gif

Fyi, the SA told me that the car are without any speedcut .. cool2.gif

i think i'm going for cvt for comfort.. if got extra moolah, then just buy used evo 7 or impreza for fun  tongue.gif
inspira's suspension was tuned with comfort in mind right? so going for cvt makes sense for me  icon_rolleyes.gif

Agreed, howerver after 2-4 years later, i mod my suspension and change to manual tranmission nod.gif

my thought as well.. hopefully easier to get manual tranny by then  tongue.gif
can just buy that evo for track only (forgot which thread), cheaper, & can whack kaw3 at track  laugh.gif

I'm buying da 2.0 cvt b'cos of the waranty for 3 years smooth ride, later only i convert to manual tranmission with BOT (monster style) b'cos i believe the performance mod for 4b11 engine is far better than those 4b10. drool.gif

Cannot, engine placement different, 4G63T extractor in front, 4B11 extractor at the back, mounting also different.
Believe me my friend, it's not that easy, i have been searching for manual tranny for 4B11 since 3 years ago, and the only option that I have is only SST from Evo X which cost a bomb.

how much does it cost? cry.gif

If you guys think that the Inspira is that bad in quality, QC. I suggest that you guys better cancel all your booking and go for other car. rclxms.gif What i wana tell you all here is that all brand are the same. Including Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Bmw, Merc etc, there are sure to have some problem which are minor. I haven say those car with major problem yet. Can you guys gurantee me that the first 1k car from Honda or Toyota or Merc are in perfect condition? or after using the car with no problem til waranty end? That bull*sht. My sister brought a 2006 camry, yet there stil some problem, car jerking not even 1st waranty, but after fixing, now is all right. My dad Honda accord also got some problem after using for 3 months, suspension and cooler problem. After rectify with Honda, everything back to normal now.

Go ahead and complain.. if you guys can prove to me that the car you are using will be 100% PERFECT. rclxub.gif


Nonetheless, I be getting my black inspira WUQ xxxx in 2 week time cool2.gif

Hi there,  newbie here, i just booked my 2.0P 2 weeks back. Anyone know how many km CVT gearbox can last? i will keep this car for 7 years and the mileage will be 300k km minimum for 7 years, can this CVT gearbox stand for that long? or i should get a manual instead for trouble free.
is it very expensive to replace a used or new CVT gearbox?
*
Don WORRY so much about CVT gearbox. You can read the lancer forum regarding the cvt problem. The problem occur when your cvt gearbox overheat by running high rpm in longer period. I believe it overheat because it didn''t maintain well with coolant, fluid and oil with regular service after a long run. It will definately last.

I'm not defending proton, but my friend civic just used less than 3 month, the rear absorber leaking and need to be change. So any manufacturer also got bad lemon in their production line, same as AMD/Intel....not only in vehicle productions.

All cars the same? Just take an Ori lancer and do a side by side comparison like me and my housemate (lancer owner) did..
Proton QC is damn terrible.. the interior assembly is unfinish like.. he door panels are hollow.. the dashboard issint fitted correctly..exposed metals parts in the trunks which are not available in the lancer..
Compare the plastics material of both car.. knock on them..the doors, the dashboard..
the seats rear seats are too soft until can feel something poking.. the leather doesnt feel like nappa leather.. alot of difference between the lancer and inspira..
*
Thank for your comment. Probably the inspira fit my perception better. I test drive it and i also test drive lancer. I probably like the softness in the inspira if compare to lancer. If you talking about interior, those car i saw in showroom and the car i tested seems solid. Beside, I'm not bashing lancer owner here,k.

Can you do us a favor? Can you do for us a detailed picture comparison as we dont have a lancer to compare and also dont have an inspira at the moment to do so. Hope you can show us how the dashboard was fitted wrongly & exposed metals in the trunk in your opinion. Thanks in advance
*
I agree with Sothys,

Mr.Frost will be kind enough to show us the fact. rclxms.gif

Do you think Mitsu will praise proton for nothing?
Do you think Mitsu will collaborate with Proton if the QC is bad?
What ya think?

sat in an inspira in proton showroom earlier today

unable to test drive, apparently the test drive unit will come later this week

i dont know about others but i find the interior is more than acceptable,if not good, material and design-wise.

all the seats were also comfy with enough legrooms all around

i can see why some ppl commented on the have-to-slam-hard door thing, u have to somewhat slam it harder to close it properly.

the trunkspace also less roomy that i would have expected,mainly due to the full size spare tyre.

otherwise im quite looking foward to test driving it soon.

can imagine myself being in real dilemma soon to choose between inspira and honda insight (and maybe forte too)

but RM800++ per month for a freshgrad? hmmmm thats even bigger dilemma hehe
*
Seems you are stil a freshgrad, i suggest you to get blm saga better.

guys before u guys starts flaming me just want to get things clear..im not an anti inspira person or am i senselessly bashing the inspira..
all the things i said is based on MY Own experience with the show car i saw.
perhaps u guys have diff experience on your part..

but i do believe the assembly QC is bad.. not just for proton.. but other local CKD cars.. including the Honda Accord that my father owns..
*
That what i say earlier, most ckd car cannot be 100% perfect. As long the car give you safety, good rating by other brand, comfort and power.

Futhermore, the car that Frost saw might be in a hurry to sent as show car or might not be finished yet. cool2.gif If its the same, Dark sure have many complain brows.gif I believe Proton will not let ppl down on their 1st batch launch car. If so, how are they going to sell in the future.

How many of you get JPJ block in a year or 2 or 3? drool.gif I might be lucky as I had not been caught by JPJ yet smile.gif My previous wira car lowered with suspension, projector light, dark tail lamp, 2.5 exhault. Those JPJ ppl are not that hardworking after all. icon_rolleyes.gif Sometimes u will see in paper, JPJ Block WILL start for big exhault. Later few months, they start catching for dark tinted, then heavily modded car. After few months .. NO NEWS..

Then you are having bad luck, bro. Normally i travel long distance too in highway, seldom use small roads. Only traffic police stop me for speeding, that all. That can't charge me for modifying the car. HELL THEY not JPJ. Remember guys, traffic police have no right to saman you for illegal MOD. DO NOT need to scare them.
