Hi ANybody with the 1.8Manual FC ?

can the FC willy 5.6l/100km claim by proton?

Hmmm.. not really sure whether they can do this or not. Proton might breach the agreement with Mitsu if doing this.

I heard a news from a friend of mine that Proton currently are facing lawsuit from Mitsu cos of changing the absorber ( not using like what being fitted in Lancer ). Of course Proton did improve the handling compare to Lancer as they tested that if you sped the Lancer at 180kmj n above the back end of the car would become unstable n swaying, as for Inspira I bet you guys felt it much more stable rite

So I'm doubt Proton would change any other parts but still anything could happen..hehhehee

wa, if this 6k discount is true, i think many owner will use head go hit the wall . lucky they dont discount a lot for 1.8mt if not i also want use my head to hit the wall.

good but make sure it's not sitting inside the store room! 

hi guys,

just wondering....i'm eyeing on 1.8 MT...any good offer/promo running around at the moment?

thx..

owh ya true also....

but should i ask multiple showroom or they are mostly having same promo?

since raya is around the corner .... advisable to book around that month if they have promo?

ICE = ???

Cck.. Why ur car right side (driver) there seem got turtle wax look? I mean here is ur last photo... the hood is greasy...

sooner or later u will boring and let people do it.. just pay... hahahaaa

How come looks like got scratches??

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...

Actually, from my past understanding CVT is just for smooth gear transition technology, and not about FCs.... .. tried the sports mode when out for lunch just now, I can change/upshift the gear to produce less rev.. but the system will downshift for you if the rev is to low.. anyway.. its hard to maintain also, back to auto =_=

when i stop my car at the traffic light, i engage the gear to N. the rpm shows 700rpm. then if i turn the steering to either left or right about 90 degrees, the rpm will respond and go higher to 900rpm then drop back. does this happen to your inspira too? i wonder why it does that

when we drive slow in D, then press all the way down, the rev will go up n stay just below the redline? is this normal? not familiar with auto car so abit worried to keep press like that... >.<

I think someone mentioned before...RM3xx gua....maybe i am wrong though.

icic.. so i don't have to worry in D the engine will never rev over redline right?

reached 210 yesterday from sg besi tol to bangi... still feel so stabile! but abit scary with the soft suspension.. ride become bumpy

Continuously Vexing Transmission (CVT)
We partly blame this GTS's sluggish performance on its CVT transmission. While a five-speed manual continues to be available (and we recommend it for this car), the traditional four-speed automatic has been replaced with the CVT. It allows you to shift among six ratios with steering-wheel-mounted paddles. Mitsubishi says the CVT offers a wider range of ratios than the outgoing four-speed automatic, thus increasing both performance and economy.

Instead of varying engine speed and shifting gears to suit, the CVT can maintain a predetermined engine speed and continuously vary the transmission ratios for the desired vehicle speed. And the combination of the 152-hp four-cylinder and CVT does outperform the 120-hp four-cylinder with four-speed automatic with both quicker acceleration and better fuel economy.

Driving a car is an even more variable endeavor than either of these two continuously variably optimized situations, however, and the GTS's CVT has a hard time figuring out which one you want. Even with what Mitsubishi calls Intelligent and Innovative Vehicle Electronic Control System (INVECS III), a program that learns the driver's behavior pattern over time, too little power always arrives too late.

In due course, we noted the system responded more quickly if we downshifted when we wanted more speed, and so we did — all the time. Since we noticed the engine reached redline quicker in Manual mode (at 45 mph instead of 75 mph in "Drive"), we left it there until the top of 1st gear, then switched over to Drive to complete the rest of the quarter-mile, cutting a second from our time in Drive-only mode.

The CVT gives you a kind of elasticity in performance like a conventional automatic transmission, and it's more responsive and more fuel-efficient. But you wouldn't exactly call it responsive compared to a manual transmission, and you have to continuously keep tugging at the shift paddles to achieve any speed. And that kind of diminishes the whole point of a CVT, doesn't it?

Size big means good??
