Thanks DM3.

Just found out the service centre is at Larkin which is also the EON sales centre.
Might go there to test drive today.
Hope they are able to best my ~rm6k rebate from KL dealer.

just bang this sl300 yesterday..



mlayang duit..

== you bang that car with your inspira ah?? lolx hows your inspira??

Ya, proton con all the 2.0 buyers, same goes to honda civic, altis, and almost all other cars. unless you can prove to me any difference from the outlook of the civic and altis' 1.8 and 2.0 engine, accord's 2.0 and 2.4, camry's 2.0 and 2.4 by LOOKING at the engine, you just made yourself look bad.

come on, stop being so sceptical.

no scratch on my bumps but side front bumper tkluar bit..i simply push it bit n fit into the clips, n it become normal..

total lost rm200, instead of rm2k... while negotiate i called my previous car painter n he told me to fix that rear bump cost rm2k+ due to lot of sensor n he not recommend me to sent there also because he never fix latest merz car..

luckily the driver n dato' ask to settle there n pay for rm200(act the driver asking for 200,but the dato relax je) and the driver told me that he can fix it for rm200..

tat merz just got deep dent about 1inch but no scratch..

Come on, I was just asking a question. Who knows if one of us knows the answer.

Oooo lolx >< lucky only abit dent XD ><~ between why so careless?? lolx the driver sudden brake?? or u tail him? XD

actually im tailgating him to enter the main road, but my car was in slope position while him was already passed the slope.. suddenly he break to avoid car from the main road..

i didnt pull my handbrake, just push pedal brake n release while he moving towards the main road.. suddenly he brake n i bang his rear bumper.. quite high impact.. im worried if his bump pecah+mine also pecah..

luckily tat merz minor dent(which i know cost a bomb for kuli like us) n i was happy nothing wrong with my bump.. that is +1 for proton !

moral: while in slope position please use your handbrake.

lolx >< ooo icic yea must use handbrake dy hahahax ~

Want to ask, how good is the original tint that comes with Inspira? I don't plan on adding/modify/changing the tints in case JPJ suddenly goes into enforcing mode and stop me .

And is Inspira's pedals and steering "short ppl" friendly? If you can reach the steering and pedals for the Wira (seat moved front max), shouldn't have problem in Inspira?

Usually, when you bang someone from behind, the guy in front will have minimal damage, the banger usually suffers worst damage.

But why u tailgate Merz lar...

Luckily rich datok don't bother too much.

Added on July 16, 2011, 1:42 pmThe tint, IMO, is VERY GOOD oready. Market price worth RM3K, someone said. Don't waste money doing your own tints. Furthermore, the default tint by Proton should comply to JPJ standard. If JPJ saman u, you sue Proton.

Added on July 16, 2011, 1:46 pmThe amount of stupidity appearing on and off in this thread is Amazing....first we have Inspira with Campro slow like Kancil, now we have Inspira with mixed up engine. Next: Inspira with Feralee engine inside!!!

Good loh. Cuz here the sales ppl prefer to offer free tint instead of cash rebates. For me, I rather cash rebate even if the value is below the tint package price that they are offering. Planning to trade in my 95 1.6 Wira XLI too. any idea what is the price I am able to get?

Say could anyone give me the opinion of short ppl driving the inspira i asked earlier?

Those tint vouchers are BS. Pls dun fall for it. You can PM any of those people in Lowyat.net doing the tint business and they'll give you special online price same as after 'voucher discounted price'. Dunno price of your wira...RM5K??? You can check out mudah.com to get an idea what's the market value.

The seats are adjustable in height body to the car roof and length from your body to the steering. Test drive one to feel if you are able to reach the steering.

You know why the dato no care? Coz he scare rob him la... Inside got milliion la.. So ask u gibe 200 then he can invest get get back trillion in the same time hahahhahaa... Jokin but it might be true

dato is in a hurry la.. or maybe he is just too rich to bother.. u just bang my car la.. spoil dy i just buy new one.. haha syok ar like that.. lol..

Is this the sign from above for you to quickly change the bumper????

Also teaches you not to tailgate any car, and to leave a bigger space to brake....

Added on July 16, 2011, 4:53 pmI would assume your car is new, or you have not pushed you car to the limit much... and that the question you are asking is "why does my car seem no pick up when i suddenly pedal to the metal?"...

Most first time CVT drivers will experience the performance lag... The CVT gearbox doesnt have a set gear ratio, this is to maximise the smoothness when it goes thru the "gears", and its a continuous gearing based on the engine and pedal requirement... if you step on the pedal normally (means lightly) the CVT gearbox will choose the lowest "gear" it can and engages it...

Now when you suddenly pedal to the metal (to overtake or to simply weave thru traffic), the CVT needs to "decide" on whats happening and why, and to "downshift" to a lower gear (instead of 3 -> 2, CVT goes 3 -> 2.75 -> 2.45 -> 2.2 -> 2), thus you will feel a delay in feeling the "kick".... unlike conventional gearbox where pedal to the metal will immediately downshift (3 -> 2) and you feel the kick...

Over time, the INVECS system will also "learn" your driving habits, and will be able to respond better to your performance requirements, so the key is to drive the car as you want it to perform, and it will soon learn to suit your style... like your fren's 8 month old car.... come back 8 months and see if you have such issues again... in fact, its should smooth out in 3 months time...

One immediate way to overcome the lag, paddle shift (CVT goes from 3 -> 2) and you will get the kick...



As for lifting the accelerator a bit, this engages the torque converter, which is mainly used to prepare the engine (in D mode) for a hill climb... to feel the torque converter, try going up Genting and your Inspira will be able to take any slope with ease (even steep slopes after deep corner) without stress on the gears, you wont need to keep "kick down" the gears (as in normal gearbox) to get the power...

Went over to one of the showroom. Seems like that the 2.33% depends on quota and only available for Maybank. Can anyone confirm this?

yap, jb
Already confirmed with sontuc.

Just now I went to start my Inspira's engine, after the engine temperature warm up. I turned the Steering right without changing gear to D means my gear is placed at P. The RPM Metre went up and down, I thought it was just the engine but I turned my steering couple of times the RPM metre went up when I turned the steering. Than I put the gear in D and test the same thing the RPM Metre went up and down again ... can someone explain why???
