hai all,
im ahamado,
hv been readin this forum since v1.
booked the car few days after launch (nov last year).
got the car on end of feb.
more than 3months waiting, proton promised 1.5-2months waiting period.
but nvrmind, let bygones be bygones.
this is my 1st car ever.
i was going to get forte but when i heard proton will rebadge mitsu, i just waited patiently until end of last year.
when it was officially launch, i straight away booked the car without even test drive.
reasons that i chose inspira over forte were:
1. manual transmission - no such option for malaysian forte (manual forte available in singapore)
2. 4b10 mivec with aluminium block & head, cvvt on both intake and exhaust - forte 1.6 gamma is older engine, less power, cvvt only on intake.
3. multilink rear suspension - forte runs on torsion beam.
4. i personally believe proton is better than naza, or atleast proton has more experience in automobile compare to young naza.
both cars are good but interm of performance/handling, inspira better.
forte wins on its gadget such as keyless entry & start, auto aircon, reverse camera, auto dimmed mirror and etc.
nice to meet y'all.
yoroshiku onegai shimasu.
Why took so long?? I got mine in 5 days from booking date.
You should be glad didn't buy Forte...the new 6-speed Forte ssems like lots of problems...and it is caused by original manufacturing defect, because those sounds all coming from the dashboard which is pre-assembled and comes direct from Korea. All those gadgets are useless anyway and only cost you more money when it breaks...the less electronic gadgets in the car, the better.
