seriously forte not for spirited driving but a good commuter..n from honda city to forte is like downgrading..just like if u buy proton..n since u mention fd is already in ur home..the last option for a branded japanese is altis..lancer is like inspira but honestly lancer is much better handling in stock compare to inspira..looks good too but inspira spoilt the party!

308t is just nice..power is good..good tech..sharing the same engine wit mini's..people bad mouth about this car none other than becos of NAZA..period..

Those old impreza n evos are serious car..within ur budget an its practical too..

there's a 30k to 40k gap biggrin.gif

like i can tell you VW Golf Tsi is way better than 308THP from reliability to brand image, but there is also a 30k to 40k gap biggrin.gif

or like golf to scirrocco.

TS Need to fix a budget and maintenance fee first.

evos and Sti are great, but maintenance.....i think need Ron97 too.

there is no 30k-40k gap actually if buying a second hand lancer..but the difference says "is really 30k in the pocket" n a set of good abs to match tat handling is far more cheaper than the difference..

Those evos n imprezas can run wit 95..proven..n too pump 97 all the time to this machine also not a problem for the owner..people who cant afford the car thinks differently..

i didnt say to TS..but since we are in fast n furious but not kopitiam..whenever about fast come wit high fuel consumption..to care bout fc but loving to drive fast is a contradiction..

Lets back to topic..started wit TS mentioning upgrading cars tat fulfill his crave for spirited driving i believe he is well aware tat his interest come wit a price to pay..

I thought Inspira is suppose to handle better due to "Lotus Handling" ?  blink.gif

U will know the difference if u drive both car n tackle the same corner wit the same pace..

Inspira suspension softer than lancer..
