Sup guys!

Looking to change my current car to the following

1. Honda Jazz hybrid model coming in March 12' (haven't test drove)
2. Honda insight facelift model coming in March 12' (test drove. overall not bad pretty responsive, slightly hard suspension, definitely saves petrol, slightly noisy and has a rev lag when accelerating)
3. Proton inspira 1.8CVT (not test driven yet but friend at proton says quality bad. Went to showroom saw that the show car had a defect in the boot which hinges slightly when pushed backwords)
4. Proton persona 1.5 mline (not test driven yet. Great price. Looks so so)
5. toyota vios (outdated. Brakes not so good. Less responsive. Noisy but cheapest of all my choices accepyt for the persona)
6. toyota rush (sluggish, unresponsive acceleration, noisy engine. But comfortable and less noisy on the road due to it's wheel size. Makans petrol for breakfast, lunch and dinner)

sifu's please give advice especially if u are a car owner. I'm very keen on honda city and honda insight and the jazz. But the inspira definitely outperforms all three cars. And the persona definitely saves my monthly installments

tq

persona 1.5?

Toyota Prius C

+1

The Prius C is actually worthy to be checked out. However, the price is TBC though. It could be the most expensive of the whole lot of cars in your list.

fofi 1.6

wahhh prius c 103k! cannot cannot lim peh money no enough

Proton quality terrible lah bro... summore got boot hinge defect... with such serious and life threatening quality issue... why do you even wanna consider it?

Should aim for T&H.... they never have nationwide recall and they dont have such issues like ABS dont work, brake pedal dun work, forget to install brake pads in a few cars etc..

Prius C below 100K and above 90K .. you google or see paultan .. worth to wait and see. launching very soon

new proton turbo

buy anything which is not local...
can consider only Alza if really want to support Malaysia

What is your current car and why is a need to change it?

You are very keen on Honda species then just choose whichever suit and affordable to you.

If you are on tight budget then persona is not even in the 80k range for you to consider. Want to save monthly installment then go with the cheapest that you willing to own it.

Think practical and easy life then use your current car till you are able to know what you really need and choose base on your daily need.

since toyota rush in ur list...how about Nissan X-gear?

Since proton inspira is on your list, why not wait for the new proton lah, will be launch on next month, Continue reading Here

Wait for proton tuah next month?

New proton turbo max price is rm75k, Persona is 1.6, but why mline? hline is rm60k only.

Honda city nice also

TS wait for the new proton model after it launch, then only decide which car


What is your main purpose to have a car? Comfort, FC, driving pleasure, face?

How about if you add in Ford Fiesta in your list

must buy new car?i also planing change car, budget is below 100k... was thinking second hand 2006-2008 camry

what kind of hinge loose issue? neva heard of this problem before after many of us use for 1 yr+

i tested City for a week and feel the acceleration worse than Vios... also Insight is RM99.8k, burst your budget already...

yeah yeah Fiesta 1.6

mr looqsonline,
if you plan to drive from point A to B from home to work, a little far distance driving sometimes, persona would be a good choice.
big luggage space, low installment. just my2cent

If i were you i'd go for Inspira 2.0. best bang for buck

local car, nonono

for a 2.0 version that's the cheapest beside than the KIA forte. Tell me any other car that is 2.0 lower than 100k ?

local car = low class.

on a serious note, if jazz hybrid is less than 100k with a lot of airbags, that is a very good deal.

jazz is a very solid product, thus enabling it to sell side by side with civic with similar price.

Fiesta..fuel consumption very good..

Save RM 25k and spend on other things.

You no need RM 25k to advoid those minor issue.

You could just go to SC to claim those underwarranty part.

If you think buy non local car will save you from quality issue, good luck. Go ahead, but do share the problem with us after you found it.

U buy inspira, u got many things to worry about la!!

I read this...left to visit another few threads then came back...this comment is still here.

First of all, buy a Alza and you're really supporting Japan. Secondly, all the cars listed by the TS are lightyears better than the crap that is Alza. Even a Myvi is better than Alza.

huh? quality issue so bad with alza?

having similar dilemna. but for that price range i am considering mazda2 or ford fiesta, or mazda3 (stretching my budget). Why not kia forte?

Actually what's about the bad quality of Inspira? I thought other than some bumper change of looks. it's like 90% same as lancer? So i would expect it to have Mitsubishi Lancer's standard of quality? O.o...Just a noob asking question only Sorry if i'm wrong in some aspects

Inspirans trolling lar.

Guys the worry there are mainly because need spend and will spend a lot on modding...
Not some serious quality issue.

Mitsubishi lancer is FULLY IMPORTED from JAPAN.
Proton inspira is LOCAL PRODUCT. U expect the same quality?
If same quality, y ppl 1 buy lancer?

fiesta

not to mention use campro summore...

So that they can put a huge sticker saying "LANCER GT CLUB" to justify spending 40k more on the car?

Malaysian mentality, if you take a Bonia bag and put a Gucci logo on it, peopel will pay 10x more for it cause.. "Got Brand, Got Face!"

Dude,
Get ur facts rite b4 posting even if d so-called source is from d Net.

Mitsubishi's 4B10 n any of d Campro variants(CPS, IAFM, CFE etc) block layout are different. U can double confirm by looking at d engine oil cap n dip-stick's position of both makes. Even d breather hose's location next to d cap is definately not where a Campro's is.

Furthermore, one of Mitsubishi's condition of 'sharing' d Lancer was not to have Proton fiddling around wit d drivetrain. D so-called Campro inside d Inspira is no more than a sticker/panel on a Proton/Mitsubishi 4B1x engine cover.

ts, wait for new proton p3-21. then only decide

with 80-90k, u deserve something non-local.

Because of the branding? I guess? O.o

I thought Inspira is using MIVEC? The info in Proton Website is also stating its using MIVEC engine

demn here we go again..
spinning . its mivec la

im using persona high line

I have fun driving it with nothing to complain about.

about quality, it is fine for me

Honestly, is not same quality but can be ignored due to almost all major components are being used by Lancer from Mitsu. Compensate with the amount your save.

The only major quality of the buyer concern is that "Face Quality"

The car is not to be blamed but the brand itself cost too much of "Face Quality" when sitting in it.

haha, i still recall there was a forumer claim himself (maybe herself) own a workshop and try to tell me inspira build with CAMPRO.... I LOL to the max...

yea joking nia, and making it sound real

You have been trolled by dat fella.

Wait... you have been trolled without realizing it after 1 week....

This post has been edited by MeToo: Feb 20 2012, 02:08 PM

actually, i dont even bother what he replied, because from very beginning, i know it is not campro..

do not fighting back doesn't mean i have agree / troll by that self claim workshop owner...

Forte not gooding?

good la, bang for bucks!!

Have you guys sat in a new ori lancer gt/gx in the showroom? Omg, the quality is worst than inspira... and the mitsu salesman keep SKL (sin ka lan) me abt how superior lancer is over inspira till the extend of saying lancer engine is bigger and cvt is gen 3, interior also bigger than inspira.. omg...

The lines n fitting on the dashboard is uneven andmthe salesman skl me again saying material used is soft, so its only natural its not straight. The nappa seat material is nicer but the sewing is bad. I kept asking, this one Japan CBU right? (wonder if proton assembles mitsu now). Yes, lancer fitment is not perfect either esp the rear lights and comes with its inherent problems that was passed down to proton and ppl claim is proton sounds...

Btw, lancer does not come with level adjustable headlamp, inspira does, lol.. And yes, inspira uses the exact same engine and tranny as lancer, ppl skl u guys already all these while...

korek or not?

guys guys calm down

inspira don't have lancer 421 extractor

'nuff said

veli korek as proton make the fitting gaps smaller to 2-3mm compare to the fake inspira and theirs dont even have hood latch sensor wirings , headlight leveling only 2011/12 models onwards have .

see....damm.....i'll bet they dont even have LCP included....

LCP? you gotta be kidding me.

Strut bar also don't have, no safety at all. Plus CC5 tire wall is so thick and soft

I heard someone accident Inspira @ 30km/h, total damage cost is RM38,000

Coffin on four wheels

I have checked, 2012 model got hood latch sensor wiring but still missing the sensor... Headlight itself does not have built in motor, its smaller housing than inspira, and no levelling switch on the dashboard. Whoever dun belip can go to any lancer showroom and see for themselves, the one I went to was Bangsar branch. How to know its 2012 model? The rims are 7 spokes now as oppose to the older 10 spokes.

Forte is a good car and looks good too, full of accessories to mask what is missing... performance. And their parts ain't cheap or easy to get. Their sc is always out of parts... and tells you waiting for shipment from Korea...

For the same amount of $$, the H & T models you can get are lower end models and smaller cabin size. So the choice is yours, branding or practicality. If you choose rationally, you will know what to go for. If you follow uncles n aunties advise, for sure choke u to buy T or H.

but u have ...


chabuttttttttttzzzzzzzzzzz

give and take lo......

brand or performance....

best bang for bucks / performance / peace of mind / brand image ?

Dun play play... Got rise body, turtle on karak h/way at 180 also driver no issue... cabin intact.

I think last time Bro Salience was looking for this... RM100k below car, luxurious, big cabin size, sporty, low FC, ... maybe he managed to find already.. I also want to buy actually..

u mean MILO tin isit ?

Prius C to go for 104k RM? http://www.livelifedrive.com/malaysia/news...ysia-for-rm104k but i'll personally for the honda jazz hybrid. It'll probably go for around 90k or less.

jazz is a solid product, i'll take jazz over prius C.

But u also uncle woh...

i actually meant/thought that the headlights wiring might be there, wah now the headlights also dont have ka? hahahahha

i confprim .. the other day a lancer sportback owner come to find me to do something for his car..

i plug in the headlight leveling switch to test .. nothing happens ..

seems like the headlight leveling stuff is a small reflector cap that can move up and down, a smart move though

1 side rm1700......

With that budget, try considering a Kia Forte, Honda City or go for a second hand Mitsubishi Lancer or Honda Civic.

oh he go and see u also? hahaha ya frm then i confirm sportsback also cant. but really surprising.

Please type "Toyota recall" in google , who said never recall? even BMW also have recall... The most important is how they counter the issue.

Sarcasm is lost on the internet.....

Ford Fiesta or Honda City
Kia Forte nice body but less performance
Honda Jazz 1.3cc only...not worth to buy, New vios? Better get the old vios...
