I tested all the commonly bought sub 100k cars before so here's my 2 cents. The Inspira is POWERFUL. No doubt about that while the Forte 1.6 is slow (didn't get a chance to test the 2.0 they say no stock). As for difference with Lancer, it's totally not worth your time to consider the Lancer EX (that's the cheaper Lancer) or the GT for that matter coz the Inspira 2.0 is just 99% similar in feel but the difference comes when they are driven. My money would of coz go to the Inspira not only coz it's cheap but it's also refined.
However, I admit that I feel the quality of Inspira is lacking compared to the Forte but the same is also for the Lancer. So basically the build quality for the Forte seems to be better but the driving is meh.
City and Vios are just con jobs for unsuspecting victims

Fiesta is a nice ride though but that's a different segment already.
My 2 cents
Two thumbs up bro.

And yeah, i might have buy Forte 2.0 as well, but those lanci NAZA saleswoman keep saying no test drive unit...fuiyoh...expect people to buy 97k car with no test drive?? Yeah, the interior maybe not as nice as Forte, but it is decent enough...(and frankly the dashboard design could use more compartment space...)..but it is small matter compares to the overall package.

Added on June 5, 2011, 10:40 pmBetween I heard Inspira go max is 250km/h and lancer GT 2.0 can go Max 300km/h is this true anyone can clarify this matter for me? Thanks in advance !~
300km/h???

Get your facts right lar bro...but the Lancer GT does seems to have a slightly higher top speed, maybe a little over 200km/h...mainly due to the Inspira ECU being programmed to cut off at sligltly lower top speed.
Anyway, Malaysia speed limit is 110km/h. How often to you hit 200km/h anyway, unless you do racing everyday? And safety first...no car gonna save you at a collission of 200km/h or more...no matter how many airbags or techs inside...

can i test drive ur vios? anybody here got forte? anyone can lend their city?
lets compare these cars in real world...write about it n post it here...we blinfolded few public members n ask them about their opinion...
then only we know which 1 is better...
talking like this never ends...
Why need to pinjam?? Just go to showroom lar!!!

I've test drove Forte 1.6, Vios, City and Inspira 1.8/2.0 before finally settle for the Inspira.

btw, you can test drive the 2.0 Inspira at many places. If u arund PJ, try to to Mutiara Damansara branch or the Taman Megah (facing LDP) branch to test drive. Sure got. I drove the unit directly from the Showroom to test drive...hahaha..so paiseh...all the people looking at the Inspira have to make way for me. Mutiara Damansara there sure got...just go and ask.

Well honestly I never bought a proton yet. What I know is Proton according to many people has power window problems and also cola tin/milo tin (I watched the Proton Saga BLM/S16 ANCAP crash test not bad at all). Maybe the cars before are quite bad?
My Proton Savvy...power window switch spoilt once in 4 years. My old Myvi...power window spoilt twice in 4 years...so??
Cola milo tin?? Try drive a VIVA.

You means the suspension? I heard Inspira uses Continental Tyres.
Added on June 5, 2011, 9:47 pmCan't agree more that's why I never choose city or Vios. Between do you know anything about Fiesta?? i actually considered before Fiesta but havent test drive yet. I tested inspira 1.8 coz they dun haf the 2.0 too. Fiesta and Inspira 2.0 the price is about the same right??
Yes, Inspira use CC5 tyres.
Eh...Fiesta got 2.0 meh?? I think that is Ford Focus lar...cheapest RM 11xk.
