Hi guys, posting on behalf of friend.

He wants to switch from vios g 2008 to either inspira or forte.

several questions he wants to ask:

1. How's the cabin size compared to both? He's also big sized.
2. Quality of materials used? according to website both looks very plasticky
3. ride handling? apparently proton is lotus tuned?
4. engine reliability? theta or mivec? (according to proton website, inspira 2.0 is mivec)
5. is forte 1.6sx underpowered for 1.3tonne car?
6. after market support of course proton will have more right?
7. budget is 90k. no more no less. can afford 60k downpayment.
8. NVH comparison between the both cars
9. highest fault rates between both cars and what is primary concern of maintenance?
10. average cost of maintenance per car service
11. single driver most of the time. likes sporty looks.
12. resale value is important so 2.0 specs for both is considered, but how is the current market for aftermarket parts for forte?
13. fuel consumption between both cars on 50% hw,. 50% city
14. car steering on high speeds above 110km/h
15. stolen car rate

and another question, if he buy inspira and full convert to mitsu evox , which means he remove badge of proton, will he be fined?

no need convert..but forte..fully original...fully loaded...dont buy inspira with campro inside lar..only got cheapskate ppl buy inspira

wow from vios to proton /naza??
sure ar?

buy inspira la, mivec can pawn forte theta crap anytime

y from vios u wana change to forte/inspira...ask ur self a question, when u drive the dugong, who alwiz tiong u ?

myvi

myvi anytime can pawn campro inspira lar

go for inspira 1.8 manual.. really powerful.

i think i know why, vios too small and too simple

thought Inspira is campro?

you just wake up? your sentence above "laugh die me"

why not buy lancer? the real deal

then u go proton, go open the hood and see lor

straight go buy latest c200 kompressor. sure no complaint/upgrade for the next 5years

true story lar. i just having some black coffee just now

your true story mean "Myvi can pawn inspira" or "you just wake up"?

brader..i open inspira hood b4 lar.there write proton logo....malaysia sure use campro lar..wat more engine can use...it's campro lar...running on waja 1

that day my maid went to check it out, she saw proton logo only. so i told her, must be campro la, and rebore to bigger capacity. u know la, the hanky panky stuff

who got bigger ball ma who win lo

most of your question can only be answered if your friend go test themself , different ppl have different opinion , some of your answer can be easily found in google , pls dun start a war again

true...

NVH is very subjective.

handling is very subjective.

go learn some automotive technical before come in here to become keyboard warrior. If you know nothing, get your mouth shut!!!!

everyone in this world know inspira is using mivec, else, how the top speed for 1.8m can go to top speed 202kmh...

then u might consider telling this also, engine cc and power also subjective

haibrid 1.3 topspeed 200kmh, accelaration beats camry.

Added on February 14, 2012, 11:55 amif his fren slow slow in corner, drive politely, then power and handling also very subjective.

come on, how can ppl answer this in forum?

engine CC and power same la

2liter car= 2 liter power

according to proton website, it is mivec wor

so when i read around campro vs mivec, i also get confused.

if its campro ithink surely get forte

http://www.protoninspira.com/ <--- uinder price and specs, they list mivec, dohc 4 cylinder

is this fake info

brader..wat to learn...i myself driving an inspira and everyday i look at the hood.im not a keyboar warrior..i own 1...do u? i know it's campro..u dont have to deny it malaysia produce a decent engine for inspira...n u sure 1.8 can top only 202? is tat based on sttistic?
even my 2.0 campro way better than tat..

better trust official website.

the rest of your question is best answer by you, after visiting a show room and get a test drive.

are u in kl?

ok serious note, those guys pulling your leg lar,
yes believe what u just read on your own research.
if u or your fren seems to mention more on inspira, means u all got the eye on it liou? than go for it.
if u ask most of us that reply here are majority inspira owners
we are loving it alot.

WOI...

Inspira is ORIGINAL Mitshubishi ENGINE , 4B10 for 1.8 / 4B11 for 2.0
You guys holland ppl XD XD XD

Well my own opinoin,
1. If you worry resell value ,
VIOS >> INSPIRA >> FORTE

2. Sporty look,
INSPIRA >> FORTE
*Inspira more mods Available , but COSTY TOO

3. Sporty REAL of Performance POWER,
INSPIRA >> FORTE

4. Forte club more Female Drive active...

i confirm inspira NVH beats vios .

forte nvh, this need to use iphone/android sound meter to test dy.

but, i think nvh for both car is similar. highspeed not sure.

it'll be noisier in inspira as most of the time u will 'tekans' and dont give shit bout being quiet.

this reason enough to change car already...
our club only got owner sister and SIL...

when u go fast and furious, the passengers heart beats together too

if makcik drive v12 fatlali it's subject the speed 1.0 car speed. so it's subjective

Opened... and seen...


Attached thumbnail(s)

I will sell my inspira tomorrow and get a forte.

ini semua STEWPIK punya pasal

sell today.

tmr lower resale value dy.

why not mod n make it look like 1, its like wolf in sheep clothing.
forte slow leh

Confirm buy Forte la. My friends driving a Forte, he say his engine is MIVEC le.... And tell me I should add $$$ can buy an imported car. He oso got tell me actually my inspira not mivec. He know someone from Proton tell he geh.

today valentine's day, need car to bring my girl friend out.

Nolar.. they talking fun of wana join Forte club because of Female driver Active overthere

That is not important. Inspira club all uncle member, no stim.

hehe tau la

why not go 'kaw' them and tell them to sell of the forte and get a better ride?

fixed..

Buy one more FORTE lor...then our 1.8MT BOT it become Friday-Saturday-Sunday car

if your concern is engine reliability, resell price and FC
thn inspira is your car
it has mivec(reliable), its japanese(higher resell price), it uses CVT(good FC)

i was finding the picture to prove it was campro oso..but lazy..not it's prove

U local car how to fight with imported car.ish ish

U see above I posted the engine already.. clearly its campro with proton badge... dont need insider info lah!

Why form Japanese VIOS wanna downgrade to Korean... or even worse local PROTON?!

U all dunno drive Proton cannot get girls? SO many thread already proven jor!

i think everyday been eating sushi also sien wanna eat nasi lemak or kimchi lo

new Inspira thread here?soooo many inspirians here...haha

Nasilemak buy rm1 one.dont buy rm12.50 one

inspira club many uncle... they usually are big boss.... working time no need work... just shave some chest hair and surf forum...

:facepalm: to people said it's campro :|

go and open the ECU cover, your next screen capture should stun you enough... go and check those inspira spare part, are they using Mitsubishi or proton...

Why so serious bro? Don bother him....
He not owning one also... Nissan driver.... How to trust him.

Huh? Then mitsu car got proton part andbproton car got mitsu part?

Why u think all inspira driver spare tyre big big?>!

i believe wat he is trying to say is in inspira, inside got mix proton and mitsu part...mitsu part is not tat superior btw...not everything from japan is superior except toyota...

Sure boh top speed is 202kmh???!

After I open already see campro next u ask me take apart the engine and got Mitsu piston?

for you ... less than that.....

go proton edar see for your self la, go listen to all this troller for wat? noob

that is just the ECY cover okay... as the previous forumer say, why i have to be so serious in this case. Since you are not the inspira driver...

u will be suprise 95% of this tered is inspira driver..tat's y we know better than u....even u drive inspira, but we still think we know way better than u....not must incofmation in this tered lar

I'm tryign to save TS's fren from buying a FAKE car lah! Later buy liao open see campro... cry until no tears

how you know better than me? because of the campro cover and hence justify it is not mivec? go any non-proton workshop or proton workshop and ask the technical guy, what engine inspira is using... rather then key warrior-ing here...

ohya, i never claim myself is a inspira driver, but 1 of my close friend is and he work as technician in proton service center. So how can i dont know the inspira well?

This post has been edited by ju146: Feb 14 2012, 12:56 PM

Kakakakakak

his fren work as technician in proton sc = he know well the inspira.
ini memang hardcore keyboard warrior nih!

My maid's uncle a taxi driver 20 years. Mileage 1 million km. He said he is a better driver than mika shoesmaker

are you trying to say the service center will lie to their customer? if yes, who should you believe when buying a car? people from this thread? as i told before, if you want to know the inspira well, you can try to walk to 3rd party workshop and ask.

Only dumb technician will tell you it is CAMPRO...

what...
Inspira campro... so lauya one...

no wonder that day i drive myvy can potong it smoothly....

eh... so far i only heard people go service their car... but SC people pour in 5L engine oil instead of the correct 4.3L

I lol so hard at this........

Your friend work in Proton SC? Den can u help me ask y Proton SC pour in 5L engine oil into engine? Meaning they are correct even it is only 4.3L?

Hmmm... this makes me go for forte....

okay okay, let me help you ask on this.. will come back to this thread later...

inspira need engine oil meh?

Wasting time read all these bullshit bashing thread..

brader...i wana LOL hard at all this shitty lar...everyone here is not a keyboard warrior here..everyone troll in this tered incase you wana know...no need justify the cover or not coz after so many reply u still insist on us knowing noting of this inspira...ur close fren work as a technician but we all drive one....so, chill out ok...and yes..i know more bout inspira than you...or perhaps know more bout ur fren...coz it's simple, i drive one and i own workshop...

aiseh, your workshop got repair inspira one ar?

how to know if one knows more than other?

U inspira different la... U go change u engine to mivec. That the best part of owing a workshop.

errr, by how fast and how many screws they can remove in a minute ????
