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.
about the same.
2. Quality of materials used? according to website both looks very plasticky
forte look like better
3. ride handling? apparently proton is lotus tuned?
inspira might be better since it is multilink compare to forte using torsion beam
4. engine reliability? theta or mivec? (according to proton website, inspira 2.0 is mivec)
almost same technology using.. gema engine. it should be same
5. is forte 1.6sx underpowered for 1.3tonne car?
only advice forte 2.0 compare to inspira 2.0. 1.6l with 1.3ton consider ok in normal road, but when on uphill (e.g genting) you will feel that is no enough power.
6. after market support of course proton will have more right?
yes
7. budget is 90k. no more no less. can afford 60k downpayment.
inspira 2.0 with discount lower than 90k.
8. NVH comparison between the both cars
abang adik i believe.
9. highest fault rates between both cars and what is primary concern of maintenance?
can't comment, both cars consider new in Msia.
10. average cost of maintenance per car service
200-400 for normal service
11. single driver most of the time. likes sporty looks.
personally vote for inspira with little mod.
12. resale value is important so 2.0 specs for both is considered, but how is the current market for aftermarket parts for forte?
civic is the best.. no doubt. no comment for forte aftermarket parts.
13. fuel consumption between both cars on 50% hw,. 50% city
2.0 vs 2.0 -> RM0.16-RM0.20
14. car steering on high speeds above 110km/h
wat this means? don't speeding as Msia highest speed on 110km/j.
15. stolen car rate
no idea, depend lucks but currently both are not hot chicks.

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