to be honest, stick with your civic, no point getting a same segment car, if want to change, get a better one straight.

i like my inspira, but i do feel that civic is better.

Plum Red color more sharp and nicer

My full tank costs RM150 for Ron97 from empty. Any of you know how much is full tank for RON95?

i try to save econ abit when i good mood.. i dun brake alot...
i purposely slow and make the car moving on...
so so far 1 full tank around 490KM to 530KM like that

i dun intend to sell my civic for an inspira.
my gf been complaining her city too under power & high fuel consumption.
so thought maybe 2.0cvt or 1.8manual is the way to go since she likes manual.
i myself used a honda jazz before and know cvt gearboxes really are effective and fuel saving.
there are alot of family activities so more room is better.

thats really good mileage.
running on semi/fully syn oil?

semi only... may be later will change to full syn...

for ori oil they force u to use petronas rite?
whats the ori oil for mitsu cars?

if not mistaken its syntium 1000 for mitsu, but i am
using syntium 3000 now..i would say they do force you to use petronas oil else they say other oil may voil warranty...scare you & you will agree to petronas...

so if next service i use syntium 3000, will they need to flush my engine? ?

i tink all inspira drivers hv to be pro ... once u ask a slightly amateurish question also u will hv to be prepared to get bashed.. too many pros in this thread

If questions are asked properly with facts of the situation given, then answers will be forthcoming as the exact situation is understood.



Questions like: my car have sound, is this normal?? How the F does one answer this question???

Kindly state the conditions on how the unusual or strange sound come about, like:

In the early morning at cold start, my engine revs high to 1,000RPM and stays there for almost 2 minutes before it settles at 600-700RPM, is this normal??

Then the answer will be yes, as the ECU is compensating for the cold start and is revving the engine to increase oil and other fliud circulation.



No one is perfect, or started out as pro.... but ask nicely and with explanation, you will see these questions answered nicely too...

No??

Unless you like that guy asked classic question like 'Inspira use Campro engine inside which is slow like Kancil', usually you won't get bashed.

nope, no need..i also gatal gatal want to try syntium 3000 at my 20k service, hopefully it'll help with the cold starts.

Added on July 8, 2011, 6:54 amcity high FC? i dont think inspira can outdo a city in terms of FC, 2.0 vs 1.5.

proton gives syntium 800, mitsu gives syntium 1000, so most of us here either

1) change syntium 800 every 5k km,
2) buy syntium 1000/3000 every 10k km and the syntium 800 keep for other car
3) 'trade in' and top up the difference

er...dun expect Inspira to have very good FC or compare to Jazz...this is after all a 1.8/2.0 engine compare to Jazz 1.5.
When it comes to city drivimg, you can only get 9km/l or so. What's the FC of ur Civic in city drive? But why ur gf complain city high FC?? The only one good thing about City is good FC... You GF rev kaw-kaw is it? If rev kaw-kaw, Inspira will be even worst FC....but you won't have to worry about underpower coz Inspira loads of power. If you drive manual, even better.

I don't think CVT gearbox are fuel-saving...it depends more on the engine and car size and most importantly road conditions. It may helps a little bit, a few percent, but definitely not much. Even Proton dun dare to claim so much for the new Persona R (Campro + CVT)...only claims improvement of 4%....and this is probably under optimum condition.

IMO, CVT gearbox gives a smooth driving experience, that's all.

Added on July 8, 2011, 6:58 amCan 'trade in' with proton and top up difference? I thought Proton dun stock 3000 in SC??

Anyway, for low mileage people like me, probably 800 will be fine...by 6 months time only hits 5k...so no problem. Have to change 6 months or 5k...whichever first!

yup, agreed..our cvt may help with FC, but not as much as it does for the smaller cars. the CVT for a 1.5 and 2.0 and 3.5l is fundementally different, that is why when you visit Jatco's website, the usual word that is associated with CVT which is improve FC is not even stated on the CVT for large vehicles.

bro sothy goes to the sc that can trade in.

im not too sure about syntium 3000's availablity in proton or eon, but i mostly do my service in eon. when mine reaches 20k km, will find out if it is possible to get it outside or not..then will hentam a mobil 1 in it.

zenix,

if u like manual, go for it.
for me i like it and where got other 1.8 and above with MT?
its damn nice to whack and dun worry much bout damaging gearbox, my putra i also did the same only the gear shifter broke after 7 yrs .
its very easy to shift and different frm the older MT g/box

The SC in Puchong allows u to bring in ur own engine oil. Others I not sure. So I am using eneos now. Feels good.

SC is EON or Proton Edar? BTW, the service vouchers we have only appliesd to where we bought it from rite? If we buy from PE, must go back PE (for the Service Voucher to be use) and EON, then go back EON SC. Is it?

hi there, i own 1.8 manual inspira -

2. The clutch is soft and you can slot into gear easily. Wayyyy to soft for my liking, i still love my savvy clutch. and another thing, the gear throw is very short plus the handbrake position is not ideal for manual driver.

3. I dont have an idea if its new or old tech. imho its an old tech because 5 speed manual has been in cars for how many years already?

4. Build quality is lil improvement over other Proton models. Dont expect BMW quality though LOL. But inspira is not a defect free car, some owners experience the nyek nyek sound from absorbers, wind noise

5. FC? just click my siggy Usually full tank i can achieve 550~650 km.

and final answer is... GO TEST DRIVE
