I think Inspira upgrade to R3 only same as the way Satria Neo upgrade to R3 confirm not 150k and confirm no turbo. Depends on how it looks like only mod =D. I will not be one of the white mouse, will chill and wait.

Have to wait and see

No, i wasn;t directing my answer to you specifically. Rather I am directing it to the people who make fun of other cars, especially to those who is obvious that other cars are not as powerful as their, but they still wanna make fun of the car.

About the price, as far as I know, the ability of the car have nothing to do with the price. Your ori car maker tag your proton car at RM130k, with a different emblem and name.

I am more interested to know the how good is a car with it;s matched HP, rather than a 140hp having fun kicking 100ish hp or lower car. You feel I am lame? No problem. I feel those who like to make fun are lame.

No offense intended to you

THE ABILITY of the CAR is TOTALLY Follow with the PRICE. so you can use RM 50K car's ability and buy RM 100K car's ability? dun mention you are in malaysia. let take you to US, so you can use USD 10K to buy a USD 23K Lancer's engine? Dun even mention Inspira is Change the emblem or name. I gonna SHOUT to those MYVI owner... GOOD ar your car?? Malaysia Made?? still change of emblem and name and no people care business coz is a NON-FAMOUS CAR AT ALL and daihatsu throw to TOYOTA and resell to PERODUA...

Other comment i dun care.. if you talking about this i will wanted to CORRECT you. Thanks

== u see my point anot? I'm basically promoting Inspira, though it is re-badge it is still a lancer and it cost only 90k for 2.0p Inspira.
Honda City Modulo full Specs 95k (Let me tell u what city don't have)
- no leather seats
- no auto wipers
- no auto lights
- Very ugly dashboard
- has a very small engine but its I-Vtec still lose to a 2.0cc mivec (I'm a honda fan)
- City is only 5- speed rite?

So people are actually paying more for? The brand? the Reliability? Even if they have rubbish interrior? I test driven before city so please dun tell me how good the car is when I already test driven almost all the price ranging 80k - 100k cars.

I feel you are lame coz you wrote something replying to my post which has nothing to do with me ==. In here we compare overall car quality and Price not just who has a bigger engine ==.

Old CITY = 7 SPEED, NEW CITY = 5 SPEED hehehehee

Paiseh Paiseh Thanks for correcting me. Old City with CVT ma >< but I heard alot problem XDXD. Still the New City has rubbish Interior. OH YAH CITY IS LESS SPACIOUS COMPARE TO Inspira, SO WHY WOULD I PAY 95k for a car which has nothing for me to admire about other than the looks? Inspira can look even better if i put 5k in just to mod the front and back bumper to something else. Right bro? XD

Well, the 95K for me is that i would not need to pay more to TAX only. well actually city and vios is a very low class car in Japan. it has been tax for 3 times as their original price. for me i will not care about this. The most important is that Lancer selling in US = USD 21K ~ 23K, if you would like to convert = RM 72K , as our inspira Selling price exclude those insurance....blah blah tax.. i think i have pay only extra RM 10K for tax. so compare to H and T brand car, they have been tax like hell...

lol true also la but live in malaysia can change nth about this for me toyota and honda are very over rated cars. Its like iPhone in smart phone world.

Hi,

Anyone ever interested to put side protection moulding? Some people like it, some others not. But I think the one installed on Lancer EX is not bad.


Anyone knows where can I get them? And the damage?

not too bad..have to inquire from mitsu. but will need to spray it though

Wow. seems like you always go genting! And last minute only invite...haiya! All tidur already or doing something else!

Inspired by Lancer clone

IT'S difficult to differentiate the Proton Inspira and Mitsubishi Lancer from far.

After all, the Inspira is a rebadged version of the Lancer, save for Proton's V-shaped front end design as opposed to Mitsubishi's trapezoidal "jet fighter" grille.

Essentially, the Inspira is a Lancer with minor make overs at the front, rear, suspension settings and wheels.

It offers a choice of a Mitsubishi's 4B10 1.8-litre engine (Standard) with a 5-speed manual, a Mitsubishi 4B10 1.8-litre engine with a 6-speed virtual ratio CVT gearbox (Executive) or a top of the range 2-litre 4B11 engine with the same CVT transmission with added steering column paddle shifters (Premium).

The Proton's bumper is unique as it has a black painted "diffuser style" design, as opposed to the straightforward item on the Lancer with the reflectors sitting within the black area.

Like the Lancer EX, the Inspira wears 16-inch wheels with 205/60 rubber.

Cabin architecture is taken wholesale from the Lancer.

Inside, the differences are minimal. The three-spoke steering design has a Proton badge and the instruments look the same.

You can find similarities between the Inspira's dashboard and instrument panel cluster and the Lancer's.

However, the "left speedo, right tacho" layout of the Lancer has been reversed for the Inspira, which has its rev meter on the left side.

The multi-info screen is the orange one as per the Lancer sedan, not the full colour version on the Lancer Sportback.

The Inspira gets a trip computer which calculates your fuel consumption and driving range.

All else is identical, including the grade of plastics.

It is pleasantly free of mistakes in ergonomics such as awkwardly positioned power window switches, reflecting instrument panel covers or misplaced air-cond vents. In fact, the signal stalk is now back on the right side, which is where it should be in a right-hand drive vehicle.

Leg room, head room and boot space is generally what you can find in 1.8L cars.

All-round head and leg room is more than enough for Malaysians of average height.

Unfortunately, the boot volume is still smaller compared with the Persona's.

An oversight is the parking brake lever positioned away from the driver, separated by cup-holders, presumably overlooked in transferring the left-hand drive to right-hand drive system. Imagine having to reach for the lever across a large cup and a big bottle of mineral water.

Also, it would be useful if a USB port is in the unit instead of having to use the cigarette lighter port to stick in the USB drive.

The 4B10 1.8-litre pot on the manual offers 140 hp at 6,000 rpm and 177 Nm at 4,250 rpm.

Performance-wise, the 1.8 manual has a claimed top speed of 202 km/h and a 0-100 km/h sprint time of 10.0 seconds.

As for kerb weight, the manual rolls in at 1,300 kg while the 1.8 CVT and 2.0 P are 1,325 kg and 1,335 kg respectively.

We took the 5-speed manual for a spin and eventually ended up at Genting Highlands.

The ride comfort over rough roads has improved, not just because of the higher profile rubber, but the spot on damping.

Pushing it to the max was a confidence inspiring affair.

Suspension was much softer than the Lancer's, body movements in fast cornering controlled, allowing one to push the car to its limits with relative confidence.

Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels were noticeably lower than the Lancer, perhaps mainly due to the narrower tyres with less aggressive pattern.

This 4B series of engines wasn't the smoothest in town but a self shifter.

The steering somehow felt more precise and had better feedback compared with the other models. According to Proton, the entire set-up was designed mainly on the 1.8L manual version so that could be why it felt sharper, presumably because it has a lighter front end compared with its siblings with heavier CVT transmission and larger engine block.

The winding roads down from Genting to the Karak Highway with long sweeping corners were taken at high speeds with ease.

Paired to the 5-speed manual transmission, the all-alloy engine has enough grunt to move the Inspira along briskly but at the top end, engine note was a little less than pleasant, sounding like a metallic shrill.

The Inspira's clutch is almost feather-light and easy to control.

The bulk of Proton's work on the Inspira went into its ride and handling department. The suspension, which has been tuned by Proton's Lotus-trained engineers, was slanted towards comfort settings while the exhaust note sounded more civilised than sporty.

The tyre size of 205/60 R16 was pre-determined by Mitsubishi but Proton had the freedom of selecting its own tyre supplier, in this case Continental's recently launched 16-inch CC5 tyres, a hint of bias favouring a more comfortable drive than a spirited one.

As a result, judders and shocks caused by unkept roads were very well absorbed.

At speeds exceeding 110 km/h, the Inspira felt planted with outside noises kept well in check through good sound insulation.

Spirited driving was handled with sufficient poise with body roll kept well in check.

The car felt more predictable than the Lancer but exhibited more understeer if pushed hard around corners.

The gear shifter was precise with short throws, making gear changes fast and delightful.

Coupled with a light clutch pedal, driving the Inspira manual even through Kuala Lumpur's incessant traffic jams was not too much of a chore for the left foot.

Whether you like it or not, for the price that Proton is asking for, you are actually getting a face-lifted Mitsubishi Lancer that few cars in its category and size could offer as much.

Wei...how come pull me into the water??? Wah lau...everytime somebody tiongs a Dugong, i kena also...

Anyway, i conccur with you...lots of Toyota VIOS owner damn arrogant...like their VIOS car luxury cars while looks down on Proton. We just wanna show they are getting rip off by paying more or same price as an Inspira, but gets a Dugong instead...haha.

hahaha typical silly mentality of msians as they always think toyota is a luxury brand here.
its all a damn good strategic marketing n control by toyota msia all the past 10 yrs.

My sister in law asked me (who happens to drive a dugong herself) the same thing...why buy proton...I nearly wanted to tell her its a rebadged mitsu and yada yada yada with technical aspect but I think its better to keep quiet due to people's mentality that with a toyota badge is an excellent car...

lolx Paiseh Matrix XD >< I must learn how to tiong civic or ferrari or >.> jaguar or BMW like you edi XD >< XD

Added on August 7, 2011, 11:21 amhahahhax yeap and you know what I think the vios is modified >< or maybe not. coz it has twin exhaust maybe it was a dummy exhaust >< I dunno but sounds like both got sound and no block on both of the exhaust. So i thought can try to challenge this kind of lala modified vios but shows that still sama not fast at all. The fastest it went was 140 - 150 like that only den I change to sports mod trying to cut him but there were quite a lot of cars on the left lane so i have to follow that stupid vios all the way on LDP be4 reaching the next 3 lane high way near KDU college to smoke him ==.

And they actually dunt know that Toyota's body, panel and probably chassis (not very sure about that) are actually manufactured by Proton .

Let's take the tax out from Vios and City. They are cheaper than Inspira. The last I heard, Vios cost around 600k baht in Thai. Let me arrogantly assume that 10 baht = RM 1. Vios and City are cheaper than Inspira, without tax.

Let me tell you: Yes I hate people who cucuk or tailgate other cars. It's GODDAMN DANGEROUS!! I basically near got involved in high speed accident on the highway because some satria driver thinks that they are better than those Vios drivers. The satria cucuk the vios and I am just next to that Vios driver. Maybe the road is slippery due to rain, that Vios swing a bit and nearly hit me.

So you wanna play cucuk? Please think of other drivers on the road. Especially when there are families on the road, not just driver themselves.


And what it has to do with Myvi? The distinct advantage of Myvi is because it's small, and easier to park. Do you think Smart Fortwo is good? Can it cucuk other car? is the handling superb? No. too bad it isn;t.

All cars in Malaysia is highly inflated. And people do not by cars mainly on the performance. There are other factors, such as reliability, durability, second hand value. Maybe for you performance is your main criteria, but your taste might be other's cup of tea
