Lol.. I havent even gotten my car yet, already >.<

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.

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.

What's with the craze on retractable mirrors? Are they of ANY use at all? lol. Just another mechanical component waiting to fail to me. What I'd like to know is, are the mirrors electronically heated? Forte's is if I'm not wrong. Now that's actually useful on a cold rainy day.


Wow. 14 minutes... count me impressed ( =

I have never in my life needed to adjust my mirrors to squeeze through lanes. Neither have I parked in a space so tight where the clearance for my mirrors was important enough... since if it was that close, you couldn't open the doors anyway.

Haha, no la... if it's useful, like central locking, power windows etc, remote boot open, then it's cool. But so many people asking for this "retractable mirrors" feature, which I feel is purely cosmetic, costly, and being mechanical in nature; bound to fail. That's just quite strange to me ( = Anyway... its cool of course. But there are more useful things to ask for haha IMO.

Scary!

Agreed. I'd be pissed. Good thing they ahd the Perdana to smother some of the flames.

My SA says my manual can probably be delivered next week. Sorta matches what someone said earlier about exact 1.5months, and another on 28th nov start second delivery.

I'm pissed. I'm really really pissed. First they say they don't want to accept cash, so I nego with bank for loan, now today they call me and say, my black manual taken by someone else (few units were delivered to glenmarie aparently) so.. ask me to change colour. I ask them to go ahead, I don't mind a red or white, then now say no more car. I AM PISSED. Luckily I havent signed with the bank yet.

Some people should be getting their car within the week or by next week though. What happened to the booking list? I booked on the second day, how could they give my car away? It's not even my fault. The dealer is the one giving problems >.<

Care to elaborate? Or through PM if you're afraif of flames haha. I'd like to know hy you switched ( =

That would be seriously cool.

That's totally uncalled for.

*like* (ala facebook haha)

Once again, I'm impressed by your replies rewlie ( =

Please... Grow up man.... sigh. Namecalling on the internet = fail.

Anyway, news on the car, My cousin says proton showrooms have received a memo not to release cars till dec 4th. He could be bullshitting me, or it could be true. Anyone got any such news?

I don't know what's the reason. I hope it's because they are fixing stuff. Like maybe the tweeters LOL (dreaming). I booked 1.8 manual, SA said cars were delviered to glenmarie, but not going to release, though some branches have already "booked" those units for delivery.

I not educated in this field, but it could be possible that the base material also affecting the colour difference? Metal vs PU?

Assuming the paint coat has been applied to sufficient depth, it shouldnt affect I guess, but who knows. I once tried to spray paint a biscuit tin red, and... After burning through 3 cans of spray paint, I could still see the printing beneath the paint, so maybe the base material properties might still affect the paintjob haha.

Rewlie, your conjecture that newspapers make money from reporting news is utter bullshit. Newspapers make money from advertisements, advertorials, distribution sales. I'm not a journalist, but surely they'd be pissed to read what you're implying. Journalist go through ethics courses, because it is their responsibility to deliver the news, and not sell propaganda. Given, our mass media outlets are controlled by pollitical parties, and therefored skewed when it comes to politics, but car news? What does BN or Pakatan has to gain? Nothing. Previously you presented your pointson the Lancer admirably, but now, you've seem to degenerated into another mindless drivel-spouting egoistical basher. Just let it go, because asking for proof from a news article (not a newspaper ARTICLE, which may be written based on opinions or sometimes even for advertorials), is idiocy at best. If you don't believe the news, no one can convince you that it's true. The news is SUPPOSED to be trusted. Otherwise, it cannot be called a newspaper. It will be called a gossip magazine, or sued for... what's that term... defamation?

Well done ( = I'm glad you're showing us your well versed knowledge of sodomy, but no thanks. I guess finally after all the complements for the Inspira, now that some negative feedback are starting to crop up, you dare to show your true colours huh? Pretending to be neutral, but deep down inside... all raging. Pity pity. I understand if you're upset. I understand if the Inspira is not perfect. I KNOW the Lancer isn't that great a car to begin with. Overrated since the early 2000s. What I don't understand is why people can be, for lack of better words, such fanboys. I guess rationality is in short supply these days.

Say the right things, and you get attention. Say things rightly, and you get respect.

Before you think I'm a fanboy offended by your remarks, I personally think the 1.8 and 2.0 auto sucks. I'd get a Forte or a City any day over them. But the 1.8 manual, now that's a unique car in the market - Unless someone can prove me otherwise ( =
