Went to try out the Inspira today because I'm searching for a replacement car for my wife. Tried both the 1.8manual and 2.0 Inspira. Was anticipating a sporty powerful car when I stepped into the 1.8.... but there was no punch to the acceleration. OK, nevermind, maybe the 2litre would be better. Stepped into the 2.0P Inspira......terus I floored the accelerator.... I was like thinking, "What?! This is it?! This was the 'powerful' sedan they were talking about?". The engine was loud... but it was all show, but no go. A little bit disappointed. So I might as well get the Persona hi-line for half the price.

A common misconception from people new to CVT.

Yeah lor.. after hearing so much hype about the Inspira, my expectations were quite high. nod.gif My mistake for comparing, but I thought a similar displacement engine would give more or less the same type of performance. CVT really that much different from DSG huh?
Anyway, I'm not saying the Persona is comparable to the Inspira in terms of performance. I'm just saying that if the Inspira can't perform that impressively, then getting the persona also ok lor. Used to own a Waja CPS manual.... it was quite alright.

Bro, you were comparing with your Golf?

Wait till u try Forte.
Persona is another turtle anyway, the interior quality of Persona is very far off compared to Inspira.

Wah lau.... where got money to buy Golf? sweat.gif Will be trying the Lancer Sportback next week. See if it is any better. If not, might wait for the Jetta.

Strange... i tot EcoTint is the tint supplier for Inspira...???

Did u get a Solar Gard warranty card instead of an EcoTint card?? Wonders if the SA went and re-tint it to Solar Gard....??

To get the max from the Mivec engine, use the paddle shifter (or the manual gear position), bring it to the Mivec zone and u feel the beast come alive, to match its roar...

Its not the engine, its the CVT mapping in full auto mode...

Which is the Mivec zone? hmm.gif

No kick is due to CVT. Its not really a problem or fault though because it is designed to be like that. Try using manual shifter and see. I have no problems smoking other "T,H,N" same segment cars going uphill in genting, not to mention I never have the feel that I'm going too fast (in fact can say that I'm cruising comfortably without the MIVEC!)

If you think Inspira CVT no power, if you go try saga FLX...lagi teruk...the "accel shock" comes in later on, albelt a small one if you manage to feel it, if you continue to floor the pedal when the rpm goes above 2k rpm. That is what CVT is suppose to do, eliminate shift shock and give you a smooth ride. My wife has been complaining to me that she has been driving on the highway exceeding the speed limit all the time cuz she use "feel" and the sound of the engine to grasp how fast the car is (previously she was driving Wira/Elantra 2011). Now because its so blardy smooth, she need to look at the speedo all the time.

If you wan adrenaline those type of feel, go for satria neo cps lah tongue.gif

No lah... not looking for an adrenaline rush. It is for my wife actually. I already have my fun ride, my GTi. Just that I've heard so much about the 'power' and 'potential' of this car that it made me anticipate a lot from it.

Maybe I'm just not used to the CVT 'feel'. blush.gif I'll go give it another try later.
Oh yeah, so far, after so many months of ownership, any problem with the Inspira?

Haha, me also same...first time I test drive the CVT feel like no kick but the speedo readings says differently....the SA ask me use manual shifter then I feel the difference. You should too smile.gif.

But remember, Inspira is tuned for comfort. Even if its powerful, the power comes in "gently".

Problems....hmmm...i think currently the most common problem is our HU fading and noise problem (can't do anything since most modern HU is like that already) and super hard bushing (causing ngek ngek sound when you pass through bumps the first few times in the morning).

Got a question, now i have the ngek ngek sound (well only 1 ngek sound) every time i pass through bumps. If i don't change the bushings, any bad effects on my car?
*
Wah.. got nyet-nyet sound ah? Last time my Waja CPS had nyet-nyet sound on the front left fender side... till the day I sold it also not fully resolved. I tried everything, till the point I placed Ultra Racing bars all over to reduce body flex. It helped for a while. Another thing I've noticed is the shallow trunk space. Is there anyway to increase it/make it deeper? 1 other thing is, the engine is pretty audible when u start to accelerate. On purpose, or sound proofing not enough ah?
