I see that in this thread, its more like a social forum rather than discussing the Inspira itself. I am a potential buyer for this car and would like to know how is the 1.8MT version feeling. After going through all the pages, I can only gather it is powerful and most of the posts are not even talking about the car.
Can some owners of the 1.8 MT advise me on the car overall?

Cannot la, when you got a young daughter to take care off at home..
Actually i'm really contemplating an auto car considering the terrible daily KL jam but somehow, I like manual cars, all my cars to date have been manual, lately bought an auto alza for my wife, but i dont enjoy driving it as much as my Wira SE manual.
More to that, 1.8 MT seems hard to resist, the amount of power that can come from that beast.

OK, lets stick back to the discussion about the Inspira.... no more feedback from 1.8MT users?

Umm okk, well, I've been looking around for a full review on this car especially the manual version but there have only been a handful.
Somethings I like about the MT:
1. Power 2. Size of car 3. Comfort 4. All round disc brakes and ABS, EBD, air bags as well as ISOFIX 5. Very good specs for a manual car (look at Fiesta 1.4MT at 69K, so terrible specs, not to mention steel tyre rim with hub cap and no fog lights)
What I do not like or not sure about:
1. Terrible looking gear knob for MT (I really really hate the look of it) 2. Not sure about stability of car during corners, high speeds (1.6MT comes with 16" tyres) 3. Console not looking very nice (dated orange color, terrible looking proton steering wheel) 4. Not many compartments to put things 5. Expensive service? - not sure about this, pls advise those that have serviced more than 5 times

If you remap the ECU, will it void your warranty?
