First highway trip for the car....to Seremban only
Damn easy to hit 150 - 160 km/h. With the CVT, 150km/h only at 3000rpm. But I really got to get proper balancing done for the tyres. It should be awesome then.
Oh btw, my itchy feet couldnt tahan and I tiong a Lancer...hahaha. One mid-age uncle driving it. After he moved aside, he gave me a stare I hope he's not a policeman...hehe

Not trying to make any point here or prove anything.

Seriously dude...it's worth it. After driving a Wira and a Waja for the past 11 yrs... I was reluctant to get another Proton. After driving the Inspira, I decided to get it. Save the extra cash and invest it elsewhere 

Inspira gains the magnesium paddle shifters compared to the Lancer EX 
When I was shopping around for a car, the Mitsu SA in Bangsar offered a 9k discount for the Lancer EX...still abt 20k more than the Inspira.

Lancer GT has the magnesium paddle shifters. The Lancer EX does not have any paddle shifters.

Haha...wait till u get your car. You will like the feel of the cold magnesium shifters...waiting to be used.
I only use it to do a bit of overtaking. It's got a nice feel to it.

hehe...i was cruising at 150km/h - 160km/h....suddenly this uncle on the fast lane didn't wanna move aside. I flashed from 30m away oso he didnt budge.

Anyways..u guys know any good tyre balancing shops around PJ or KL ? I remember someone mentioned a place in Paramount Garden, opposite the post office...hmmm

My usual alignment/balancing guy balik his hometown in Alor Setar and set up his own shop there. He was good with his work...now need to find another place

You're really hard core la bro  interpreting the ECU and all *tabik*

Damn...painful.
I've got few scratches on my car too...not deep though. Can't help it when in a office car park or at the mall car parks.
In fact, the tip of my rear bumper, left side just below the lights, is sticking out a bit. I suspect somebody gave my car a light kiss in the car park. Can push it back but pops out after a while 

Shop around and see who gives the best deals. Usually authorized dealers give better discounts but some of them can be dodgy. I got mine at the Jalan 222, PJ EON Branch. The SA, Mr. Maran, was very efficient. He's got loads of customers.
Best thing is to visit a few showrooms and compare.

Yup...iPhone's Bluetooth works with the HU. I've streamed MP3s with it too.
Only thing is when I use the HU to answer or make calls, the other person can't quite hear me...apparently it sounds like I'm talking from a distance

Set higher your volume while in the midst of the call (mine is at 25) and the HU will remember this for each call.... and it will auto soften to the volume when back to radio / CD / MP3...

Alternatively, bend closer to the HU mic (its the hole at the bottom left of the HU) la....

I see....ok will try that out...thanks

Haha...it'll sure look weird if i were to bend close to the HU everytime there's a call

You may want to try those garages in Sunway, where do all the mods. A friend of mine told me that a lot of Inspiras change their bumpers to LGT and Evo X at those places. So the garages may have Inspira bumpers which they may sell for cheap. Its a long shot but worth the try, no ?

I couldn't agree more...theWaja's chasis is fantastic. I really enjoyed the way it handled...that solid feel on the highways and around the bends. In fact having driven the Waja and now the Inspira, I prefer the Waja's ride & handling. Inspira is more refined though. No regrets 

Savvy is really fun to drive...I remember driving my ex-colleague's Savvy...fun little car.

Happened to me once...but it was driver's door that became ajar while i was driving and the warning alarm went off
I informed the SC when i sent in for my 1k service and they adjusted the hinges and told me to monitor if it happened again.

Still trying to figure out whether it was the hinges or hantu masuk as i was passing by a graveyard when it happened

Yea...I have the 'tak tak tak' sound too but only at idle. It's there after driving car around and when idle with the air-cond switched off, can hear. Sometimes not so prominent and when I rev the engine during idle, the sound is not there. The sound is like a rhythm.
I can't quite remember if the Lancer had it when i test drove it. I remember reading somewhere online...there was comparison made between the 4B11 and the 4G63 and the writer said the characteristic knocking sound is evident with both engines. I think I read this in a US Lancer forum which I randomly found on Google.
I hope it's nothing 

This kinda noises shouldn't be there...especially when we spent 80k to 90k on the car. Inferior quality parts used I suppose. Proton should bury the suspension noise issues permanently...especially after the Waja orchestra.
Just get rid of the supplier or if there's improper assembly of the suspension in the factory, then sack those responsible. Hard earned money used to buy the car...only for some incompetent moron in Proton to spoil the joy of owning it.

Is our leather seats Nappa leather or some other ? I'm wondering if they're leather covers as there are zippers at the back of the front seats...hmmm

I'm using Syntium 1000..yea it's 15w50. It's kinda thick but no choice as the SC did not carry Syntium 3000. I did mine at the Jalan 225, PJ SC.

Maybe i'll get Syntium 3000 on my own for the next service...although the SA was not keen on it as it will be logged in the SC's system that i brought my own oil. Should anything go wrong in the future and need to claim any warranty on the engine, their claims dept will blame the oil that i brought Oh well, it was just his opinion though.

I hope they will start to stock up on Syntium 3000 as a lot of customers are asking for it.

It's pretty cold with 2.0P. I usually leave it at 24 - 25 degrees.
Even if i park under the hot sun and later drive away, it'll cool down pretty fast. In such cases i set the temp at 22 degrees and after abt 30mins i put it back to 24.
