If you oredi have bought and taken delivery of the car, then no worry ma....

Proton have openly admitted that they have changed the suspension setting, and MMC have given their consent to change it, and have also admitted that Proton have indeed improved the handling....

So, the "news" that your fren hears, while may be true, may not be factual at all.... in fact, I doubt the relationship will sour over something that was admitted and accepted by both party....

If over other matters, then its a whole diff story....

You finally decided to come in here and ask....

All u need to do is double tap the paddle shifter, it will then shift to manual shift via paddle.... to off it, pull and hold the OFF/+ right paddle for a few seconds and it will then revert back to auto mode...

Thus the reason you bought the earliest batch..???

Dude,

Inspira already comes with security 6mil tint for the sides and back, and 4mil tint for front... which costs arnd 3K if you walk into EcoTint... in fact, just the front alone cost 700....

and you wanna change that for Air Cool...???

Bear in mind that to enjoy the 8 years warranty from Air Cool, they will prolly ask you to remove the existing EcoTint... so u end up losing a RM3,000 tint and then pay RM1400 for a new tint...???

The "cash discount" voucher is a ploy.... go ask other Air Cool outlets, tell them u got other brand discount voucher and ask for their bestest price... u will be surprised that you may even get lesser than RM1400 WITHOUT the "cash voucher"....

I know as i tried... with RM400 voucher from Proton, RM1300... without voucher RM900... u guess where the voucher discount goes to...

Your money your choice...

The sky is getting darker and gloomy now, no??

Why aren't you out hunting for your console??

Oh... you refering to your castle fortress surrounded by moat and guarded by your own army as a peasant's abode???

Who ask you to park at the driveway (like those seen on movies)?? Park in the vast garage la...

What is a 6.2 component speaker means???

The hole fits 6in speakers if that is what you are asking, but ur installer will need to cut out the paper speakers and re-use the speaker mount... hope he will know what to do when he sees it...

On the contrary, new cars from factory NEED polishing to remove the swirl marks created by the showroom when they polish and clean your car prior to delivery.... look under light reflection and you will see the swirls... mine was full of em round swirls, and had even uncleaned polish stains left on the body...

Only upon removal of these swirl marks do you start on the wax, else you are simply applying wax over the swirls and will make it much harder to remove a few years later....

Bro, the CVT is primarily designed to save fuel by optimizing the gear ratio to the speed, meaning the speed stays constant but the gears changes depending on condition, thus saving fuel. Normal auto GB changes speed depending on gear ratio, that's the key advantage of CVT GB. Notice that the CVT dont downshift with a jerk when you suddenly floor the pedal to metal, it has a "lag" as the CVT is trying to determine the right gear, unlike conventional auto GB which automatically (pun intended) downshift one gear almost immediately...

To get the immediate downshift, u use the paddle shifters, also known as semi auto (rough layman terms la).... in this mode, the CVT isnt being used for maximizing fuel, its used for delivery of power....

To see if your personal feel (using manual shift) is more efficient that ECU controlled CVT, see what RPM can u maintain when u change gears (and at what speed) when you move from 0-100.... if you drive very light footed (like when u breaking in the car before 1000km), you will notice the CVT remains around 2,000 rpm all the way.... Can ur gut feeling beat an ECU that's made for fuel efficiency??

Do test a full tank of manual gear change vs a full tank of CVT only gear change.... I would love to know the results and be proven wrong....

The highway consumption is again subjective to driving habits.... me will drive at constant 180++, thus will never get good FC... but then its also never as high as 20sen/KM...

and dude, can u use km/L or L/100km format as your sen/L is way too subjective to fuel prices (RON95 or RON97 or V-Power Racing)... if V Power Racing then 20sen/L is very good FC ma....

Let ckk125 feedback on this, he has achieved 15km/L (if RON95 = 0.126sen/L)... but he was driving it at 90-95km/h on the highway....

So, your high FC statement is really subjective...

Its actually MUD GUARD.... local ppl Manglish it and calls it MarGad...

Yes, that SC is pretty good, and the uncle that did it for you is Yap, the service manager... i did my 10,000 service there....

My fren, even after Fri TT when going home via Federal Highway, i also hit 170-180 at the stretch between Uni Hospital to MidValley, and after Volvo to Kuen Cheng school.... all the time...

Come this Fri TT, at Old Town or Papa Rich in 3Two Square, Sect 13....

Added on June 13, 2011, 2:48 pmWith no offense those hybrid owners out there, the only way to get the FC as advertised is to drive as you say, in ECO mode and less than 60km/h and be extremely light footed.... there is a reason why the "smart" dashboard is color coded in a hybrid, to tell you when you are driving ECOnomically....

If a hybrid is driven as per how we drive the Inspira, the FC is about the same as any full petrol car out there...

Try driving at 110km/h... your RPM is at 2,200 rpm (for 2.0 CVT, 1.8 i donno)... that shld be very effective without being boring (at 90-95km/h)....

Again, subjective and not true... Saga 1.3BLM sucks petrol as badly and even exceeds Inspira FC... so how??

Added on June 13, 2011, 3:42 pm"Since CVT allows a direct link between engine and wheels its fuel efficiency is much better than that of an auto. CVT goes further than this though because it also has an advantage over manual transmission which gives it better fuel efficiency than manual cars. With manuals the engine speed (revs) for a given gear is determined by how fast the car is traveling. Not so for true CVT cars who can vary their gear ratio in order to keep the engine revs at their most efficient level for minimum fuel consumption. "

Plucked from Google search...

Dude... if the fella behind tiong you just as fast, no amount of lights/LED/signs that read "F$#K, I AM SLAMMING MY BRAKES!!" will prevent him from slamming you.... and if this car doesnt, i believe the 3rd car will slam the second which will in turn slam into yours...

True facts... the 3rd car always starts the chain reaction in an emergency brake situation...

So, apart from being the brightest car during the actual braking process... it does little to prevent accidents... hahahah...

Still... its your choice....

Nope... this is in PJ, at a place known as Taman Mayang Jaya....

Try here, there are a few individual sellers as well as shops too...

I need to reply you too...

As bro ckk125 said... your filter box NOT fitted properly.... your car will sound like turbo (or lion roar) above 2K RPM... use your hands to "shake" both sides... u will discover the bottom is loose... a properly fitted box will not have two parts loose...

The mech did not clip and properly fasten the BOTTOM... its a pain to align and lock the bottom... most will only lock the top and due to the gap at the bottom... ur engine sucks unfiltered air from the bottom into the engine... PLS RECTIFY IT IMMEDIATELY...

You can DIY, remove the two top clips... then take out the filter (remember the direction of the filter)... then use both hands to align the left side to hook to the right side... once hooked properly, it will stay... then carefully insert the filter, making sure it doesnt dislodge the bottom again... and finally lock the top...

No need pics... just unlock and u will see how to lock it back... esp the bottom...!! U cant see the bottom without taking off the top....

Added on June 15, 2011, 1:01 amBE VERY CAREFUL WHEN REMOVING AND REPLACING THAT...!!!

That;s your O2 sensor, and if you screw it up, your engine will loose power and you need to replace the part....!!

Dude, I am sorry but I have to be BLUNT....

Your Inspira fully assembled and made in Japan ka???

Pls dont be another basher for the sake of bashing.... the local made Locktact is made equally good and strong, they copied the designed and its made locally.... I have checked the metal parts and they are the same in thickness and size... i didnt knock the metal (typical Malaysian mentality) but i am satisfied its as good...

Oh... the immobilizer functions the same as the "better" thai version....
