It's sad in Malaysia, they treat Manual transmission as a shitty cheap option. Here worship Auto/CVT more. Blurgh...

Honestly, I found Waja Campro driving experience is more composed than Preve. Waja Campro may have under-powered power plant, but the turbocharged Preve doesn't really live up to it's hype.

The acceleration feels sluggish. And put it in manual mode, it feels more sluggish.. What the hell?

Paddle shifter in Preve is just a marketing gimmick. I didn't feel engaged when browsing through the gears. It feels very artificial, lack of sense and what not. Cruising also feels somewhat 'empty'.

For me, it's just a bigger, more premium Saga FLX with paddle shifter for showcase and turbo-charged engine for marketing gimmick.

Just back from second test drive session. Just to confirm the first round result.

This is the pecking order:

NVH = Inspira 2.0 > Elantra 1.8 > Preve 1.6
Performance = Inspira 2.0 >>> Preve 1.6 ≈ Elantra 1.8
Response = Inspira 2.0 > Elantra 1.8 > Preve 1.6
Handling = Inspira 2.0 >> Preve 1.6 ≈ Elantra 1.8

Overall = Inspira >> all

I'm not trolling. This is my stand. Tq.

Seriously why would you want to bring THAT up? I think my comparison is fair. Since Preve claims to have 2.0-like power with 1.6 engine.

I find Preve's CFE no match for Inspira's 4B11. They should stop the hype. I drove it, and I don't believe it.

i think they stood by their dyno chart and their official century sprint time in which the preve is faster than inspira
preve is 9.6s
inpira is 10.5s same as gen2 lolols

I guess. But real world experience kinda difference with spec-sheet figures. sad.gif

nope....

308 THP engine is much more refined and much more powerful than this pervert....
not to mentioned the mapping of the ECU is bias towards a more sportier drive...

try thinking polo 1.2 TSI acceleration and u will get the picture...
smile.gif

on the other hand, this pervert is map towards what u call effortless acceleration... where u wont feel the engine strain to accelerate the car from standstill or under a heavy load
smile.gif

to expect a mind blowing acceleration will just disappoint u to the max

Noted. Will go and have a test drive for Polo 1.2 TSI.
