bro...do u know that inspira/lancer's CVT is the same hardware with slyphy, taena(nissan owns Jatco, and Jatco makes the CVT)?

it is the software that differs...(invecs 3 vs dunno what.)

as a matter of fact, the gear ratios are all the same.

Get the inspira, no regrets

1.8CVT review

The City idsi and vtec had problems with their cvt because the 1st batch, honda sc filled ATF instead of CVTF and that busted their gearbox.

i also have a city idsi at home and have no problems at all.

CVT is not that bad, just need precise managment(ori CVTF - for our case, Diaqueen CVTF)

Price, rm270+30 workmanship(extracted from Lancer's service manual)

Hey all,

just cameback from spending a whole day in Eon, met with a few proton staff from proton's plant.

They confirmed that the replacement part for the nyek nyek sound is in final stages of testing.

Be patient..now we need to do is to at least have that complain of nyek nyek sound in the records so that once the parts are ready, can just change it.

This is not hearsay, and i met with the staff themselves to solve my whistling problem

tt tomorrow night as what i remember.

smked by a lotus just now.

When i on the wiper to max, the whole car is shaking, my god!

Better check the inspira, ori Lancer dun have such problem

virtual gears in CVT, you can't feel it...smooth as silk but you will notice rpm drops when "gears" are changing...if not mistaken 1.8 CVT has 6 virtual
gears also..for 2.0 is confirmed 6 gears..

hold the + pedal for than 2 sec 

haha same! test drived it yesterday too, u-turn at rasta ttdi then sports mode accelerate uphill & gear up every 6.5k, very stabil too when cilok2 between cars, how to explain it, a very reassuring feeling of control, none of that gliding feeling when changing lanes at high speed.. but too many cars towards the end so couldnt fully test up to 5/6 gear.. only thing i noticed when taking out the car from their place was that when driving slow on bumpy roads can notice the suspension feel very soft & a bit too bouncy..

went to coe & PE mutiara dsara looking for a 1.8MT testdrive car, but found out they only have 1.8CVT for all outlets.. aiya bikin penat je 

i think somewhere here i read that inspira 2.0 using different box(EX) that the LGT due to it being problematic? is that true? even the sales rep at CoE said proton has already fixed this issue (which wouldn't be impossible since they did fix that overheating CVT issue right?).. is the 2.0 inspira affected in any way?

get the 2.0..much better. Btw, was told by the eon ,mech that he installed autocruise for earlier batch lancer gt

this morning my ride got engine light ON

then the RPM up n down from 1.5 to 0.70

then car jerking then suddenly brake pedal hardened when pressed..

no brake so hit motorbike..then rest the car at petrol station drive to eon to check...

my bumper got scratch..i love myride..but it seems wanna kill me hahaa

Sure it's test drive car not customer unit? I went to SUbang CoE , Platinum Mutiara Dsara & Taman Sea all dun have.. but got one of the places say if they get customer unit 1.8MT then can come test in their compound.. err kinda not nice la liddat, imagine how many unknown ppl fondle ur car before u get to ride her (salesman/mechanic tak kira la).. so now i know where NOT to buy for manual LoL (but still, suspect all shop also same le...)
IMO, you gotta remember, the additional 7k is also paying for the diff cc that u cant mod urself.. when you count in the cost for the nappa leather, plus the autocruise(which looks like expensive to do? not sure) , the rest of the premium accessories can consider freebies already.
1.8CVT is already very good, so if you like it then additional power of 2.0 is definitely worth it.. paddlshift/autocruise is just luxury item so shouldn't be decision turning point

this is the type of feedback i want to read more.. helps push me in one direction instead of balancing on the fence hahaha..

but..

the price difference with MT can use to buy many types of poison here.. too itchy everytime want to click the 'show spoiler' button then keep seeing new blingbling @_@

which branch is this may i ask?

just got my car..mechanic said one of the battery connector loosen as such lack of power go to ecu..everything haywire

after i kena screwed by proton, screwed back the terminal connector said problem solved...keep my fingers cross 

matrix, good idea, get money can mod more on the car

so good u all..im not that kind of ppl

Just a gentle reminder to all Inspira future owner, make sure that you check properly the batery terminal. It should be tighten properly n not loose. It happen to me when I received the car. Funny that it happen to broTs1 n others. Why P has not check on this really baffles me. So pls double check the battery connection before signing the release form..

Bro, i guess you get a big lemon car there. It does not happen to most of the member here, aside the common problem. Bare with it, if you really cannot tahan, write a letter to proton CEO, may be he can help.

Just check the two +ve and -ve terminal of the battery. Both must be well tighten. As mentioned by Bro Kwokwah, the car dealers loosen the terminal for storage purposes but they did not tighten it or forgot to do so..very dangerous as what had happen to bro ts1. Pls check when receiving the new car..

Depends on how fast you drive and where you usually drive....

2.0 windscreen = RM2500 from Proton, RM2000(ish) from EON (that orders it from MMC), this is because the 2.0 has the rain/light sensor in it. So far no local manufacturer of this yet, heard sometime after middle of the year...

1.8 windscreen = RM1800 from Proton (if memory serves me right).
