This my fc for the past 3 days...i think a bit... exaggerating....

No worries....just monitor the SA's job. Make sure all documentations are there especially the booking fee and downpayment receipts.

Yeap most importantly keep your receipts and only pay the company by bank draft/cheque. Never ever pay by cash, no matter how small the amount.

this is my first time buying a car too. my dad drilled into me the do and don'ts for a few days...haha

hello kawan2.
saya nak beli Inspira 1.8E CVT.
saya baru call salesman saya tengok kat mudah.com tadi petang.
hari isnin ni akan duduk setable crite selanjutnya.

ni kereta pertama saya,
jadi saya takde pengalaman menjaga kereta,
lesen keta pun baru dapat minggu lepas. hehe.

jadi saya nak tanya sikit pasal keta ni,

1.maintenance service macam mane? maksud saya service tuh bajet lingkungan berapa klau sekali service?

2.minyak pulak mcam mane? klau full tank dari k.L bole pegi mane?

3.berbaloi tak?

mungkin ade soklan2 saya ni dah dijawab, tapi saya tak larat nk browse dari V1 tadi, dah smpai page 20, tak larat dah nak baca. hehe
harap2 ade org tolong saya.

thanks.

Anyone knows a good tyre alignment shop in PJ / KL area ?

1.maintenance service macam mane? maksud saya service tuh bajet lingkungan berapa klau sekali service?
tak tau promo august cam mana, tapi cuba tengok boleh ambik sekurang kurangnya promo july, mana 5 tahun pertama servis free. main benda tukar ialah minyak enjin dgn filter. minyak engine kira kira rm100-200. oil filter...murah aje....


2.minyak pulak mcam mane? klau full tank dari k.L bole pegi mane?
rasa KL boleh pegi penang dan masih ada 1/2 tank.

3.berbaloi tak?
ya tapi kena tengok budget.

Can anyone please let me know how does the CVT of lancer works? does it work the same way as Honda City's CVT?

honda city do not have CVT

Not the current model of Honda City, the previous model

what year??

2006 -2009

Ooo sorry didnt noe honda city has CVT >< between what kind of problems honda city has with CVT? Mind sharing?? Maybe I can let you know if Inspira have the same problem.

SA today told me that the CVT for the City that I have is not as good as Lancer. I asked him twice how does it work for Lancer, but his answer is just that City's CVT is older version, while Lancer is a new better version. I wanna know how does the CVTin Lancer works. What is the different in both CVT that prompt him to say this

Emm i dun own a city but if u can name the problems of city cvt i might be able to let u know if i haf this problems.

wahhhhh my FC is doubled that coz once again i accidentally step on the gas
anyway, im satisfied by my car
for those who still doubt the goodness of inspira, doubt no more.all inspira owner will agree with me

ok bro thanks..
wah tak sabar nak ber'Inspira'..
harap2 sebelum raya bole dapat..

elasticote:
1. Tawaran pembeli sekarang ialah 5 tahun warranty dan 5 tahun servis percuma (tiap kali service biasa RM161.40, u jimat ni untuk 5 tahun, lebih kurang 11 kali servis jikalau 5 tahun servis percuma)...

2. Minyak kena tengok camne u tekan, lebih cepat, lebih memberangsangkan, tapi minyak habis cepat le.... ada cabaran Inspira baru baru ini.... KL -> Penang -> KL guna setong (59 liter) dan masih ada balance untuk jalan 100KM lagi... kira setong boleh jalan 1,000km.... tapi hanya speed 70-80 je la....

Biasa kat city, lebih kurang 8.5 - 11 L/100km, highway boleh kena 12-15 L/100km...

3. Berbaloi kalau kamu nak kereta berkuasa tinggi (engine MIVEC), u suka stail atau design dia, dan tak kisah apa orang lain cakap (beli T dan H la... takde resell value la.., Proton wor...)... dan kamu cukup ongkos...!!!

SnoWFisH: Never use the onboard computer to measure FC, do it manually (L/100km = Liters x 100 / distance or km/L = distance km / Liters) or use Fuelly.com...

Daniel520: Honda CVT have issues actually (lack power, rubberband effect... google it), but their biggest failure is Honda's own farkup... the SC uses normal gear oil instead of CVTF and this kills the CVT GB...!! The effect is the same as us pouring diesel into our tank, your engine will die and need complete overhaul...!!!

Beware, Inspira uses Diaqueen CVTF ONLY..!!!

The City IDSI has loads of gearbox problems, that's why Honda gave up and the new City no more IDSI.

Lancer/Inspira CVT gearbox is from Nissan. Nissan is the forerunner in CVT technology now and has been using CVT for queit sometime in most of their cars (in fact, all Nissan new cars have CVT option now).

So, in terms of CVT, Nissan >>>>> Honda.

how bout Proton CVT ?

No such thing not as good as lancer or whatever.

Although honda city uses a CVT, it is very different compared to the ones in altis, lancer, and slyphy.

the honda city's uses a clutch system where as the larger CVTs for medium sized cars uses a torque converter.

one may argue that the torque converter ones are more reliable, but it comes at a cost, the torque converter has more power loss.

Both are very different CVTs catered for different car sizes.

Our CVT is much larger to cater the larger amount of torque it can handle. it shows in the CVTF requirement. lancer, altis, nissan uses 6 litres compared to the honda city's 3.5 litres of CVTF

Dont worry, both CVTs, under proper hands, will be very reliable. it is the stupid honda SC that made this mess up for themselves when they put ATF in the city's CVT.
