Ok. Initially I wanting to get Inspira 2.0/Forte 2.0 both year 2011 and had been asking my dealer friends starting to lookout for me. Price would be below 80k and ideally below 75k maybe

Now, while waiting my other friend is selling his Civic 2.0 2006 at 80k (60k mileage - his 2nd/3rd/4th car at home thus is in good condition and low mileage for a 6 years car) and is offering me first.

So all the above is 2nd hand while the Civic is definitely out of warranty period and with 60k mileage I'm unsure yet whether he had changed any wear and tear for mounting and steering rack (common problems for FD?).

So lets assume the loan period and down payment are the same. Which is a wiser buy?

And yes I'm a bit cheapskate too look for only 2nd hands

2nd hand car, the condition is very important, so you really have to shop around for a gem.

As for Brands, so go for Honda lah bro.... instant face value and respect from your peers!

I understand the risk of 2nd hand bro thus I'm looking at the the Inspira and Forte year 2011. They should have 4 years manufacturer warranty left just in case something really bad happens

As for the Civic, its in good condition but still shit might happens if I'm suay. No respect also la if break down middle of highwah. Lol

Honda owners, izzit possible to check the car thoroughly at SC for any faults or huge parts that is nearing its replacement period?

Inspira comes with 3 years warranty only ..
Dun buy proton .

U are comparing a Civic with Inspira? U drive Inspira your car no break down u oso wont get respect la bro! My friend drive a city he get more respect then me Inspira is just another Proton.

All bro's here don't troll me first lar (I've visit LYNspira thread silently so I basically knows who drives one - I need honest opinion leh). I know Inspira have 5 years warranty. I did my research for Inspira thus I'm already looking for a 1 year old unit .

Then suddenly my fren is offering me so this topic comes into discussion because I want my pocket to respect me the most

Did anyone know how's the fc compare this both car? 2.0 civic with inspira 2.0

looking for FC ?
get lost from these cars...
get a VIOS J

Not that, I mean In this case both car which is better fc.. If I want a good fc car.. Viva would be it..

civic 2006
inspira 2011
forte 2011...


then suddenly vios J 2012 --> instant winrar

The FC should be similar I guess. Inspira might be better with the CVT but we know can't expect super FC difference for a 2.0 (unless diesel )

Many 2011 Inspira have 5 years warranty rite. Those with 3 years still can la depends on condition ~~~

seriously .. 3 only... its a PROTON for God Sake

Kesian Inspira owner here.. U all dont talk so harsh la.. Inspira is not that bad actually.. Not only proton got issue, honda also got.. just more case or less case only.. hehe

He looking for Inspira 2nd hand with 5 year warranty

no... u buy honda got problem... u got a lemon car... u buy a rebadged lancer inspira its not a bad car but bcoz its a proton so its a bad car...

Bro, I mean I'm looking for those owner who bought with 5 year warranty and wanted to sell if after a year thus still left 4 year warranty

The only car proton give 5 years warranty is PREVE ... un uhm un ah ??
Proton inspira .. no matter u buy new one second hand one .. face lift one .. buy from Perodua one ... buy from ur pakcik makcik .. buy from halfcut shop ... also 3 years warranty from the registration date only ... un uhm un ah ??

those 5 years inspira warranty is actually an insurance coverage .. 3 + 2 .. the 2 normally covers engine .. gearbox only .. annd when u go warranyt after 3 years.. u have to go through insurance to get approval and so on ..

7 years civic 2.0

sure gearbox problem

OIC. now I get it bro. Thanks for the heads up. I remembered correctly that Proton did offer 5 years warranty and service during some limited dates. So this 5 years is actually 3+2 like you mentioned.

Added on May 28, 2012, 12:13 pmIc. Gear box problem even with low mileage? Izzit a common issue with the FD or? Its a 5 speed so I assume wont cost more like the City's CVT isn't it?

This post has been edited by nightcrystal: May 28 2012, 12:13 PM

sigh... why not get a proton pervert? good car leh.... got turbo... then u can go sepang circuit show power le

Hmmm....Forte is nice too..

6 speed yoo~

Inspira 2.0 better fc than civic 2.0.

They choose cvt for a reason

Dont spread lies here bro.

Everyone know Civic is a better car in everyway.

Nope, handling inspira win

But.. but.. Civic's a wimminz car.

forte is 2+1 years warranty. think bout it first.

Where do you get this info? Your heard from a 'friend', or your imaginary friend.

ask nicely, not kids here

forte forum and naza kia website.

later only they introduced the 5 year warranty, but for the 5 year warranty, im not too sure of the duration.

ill take new car with the same amount of money...

on civic 2.0 2006
-its a good car
-not a problematic car if previous owner well taken care
-good fc in 2.0l segment
-still good looking

inspira 2.0 2011
-"heard" from proton SC, all problem solve already
-5 years (3+2) warranty
-good looking if modded abit

forte? no comment

I'm not a racer bang. I have no confident in campro turbo just yet and most important, I dont like the design


Yep. Thats y I'm also looking at Forte 2011 as well not the 09/10

---

Added on May 28, 2012, 1:55 pmThanks for your kind input bro. For new car, Vios and City is never my consideration. Fiesta is unfortunately too small and I'm not really fond at the 1.8 Inspira. Headache.

Thus I'm looking at the $ risk and maintenance factor for these second hand models.

Depends on who you want to attract. If u wanna attract guys. Get a ghey guy car.

If u wanna get wimminz. Get a wimminz car

why people call civic C segment market leader?


TS u go for civic 1.8 2009/2010 instead with warrranty ? better FC city drive

Not a racer? DOnt need a powerful and fast car?

Then Preve is definitely the car for you bro....

Bro, do you know how much is fc on 2.0 civic and inspira? mind to share?

It is a fast car with air brake!!!!

Full of features........best bang for bucks.

inspira i dunno, but please check in LYNspira

for civic, full tank i can get 540km mostly on hiway...wit ron95

My fren is offering me his Civic 2.0 60k mileage which he used as a 3rd car else I also wont be considering it. Too risky buying car without warranty from someone I dont know.

Not racer as in going to track Preve design for me tak bole pakai

Added on May 28, 2012, 2:13 pmBro so u r a FD owner? Any major replacement needed? Do u still service in SC?


This post has been edited by nightcrystal: May 28 2012, 02:13 PM

its our family sedan from 2006-2009...twice claim warranty...

1-steering assembly (keep pulling to the left)
2-ABS

other than tat no problem...

for the depreciation, trade in for stream...the dealer take rm79k in 2009...

I got one friend bought a 2nd civic and he been using it 1 year ++ He did not complain and I dont see any problem. Even new car give u warranty can u guarantee no problem?

I reckon 2nd hand Honda would still be safer then new Proton?

6 years ad the civic... use 5 more years junk car/super old car ad...
srsly go for new car bro

Your car is 1.8cc or 2.0cc? If Ron 95 full than around how much? I ask quite lot because I thinking of getting one too.. what's the warranty period given by honda itself? Thanks for info bro

add bit more can get new car

Viva cannot win against Proton Savvy. That is the champion.

The reason of my cynical question is because Naza has been giving the Forte 5 years warranty since end of 2010. I don't know from which forum did you get your information from, but don't spread your misunderstanding to others.

now lets say 2nd hand 2006 civic and brand new lancer GT at the same price.

easier to decide?

I can get nearly 600km for my FD1 in highway.

2.0l not 2.0cc bro...its 2000cc...just to korek u...hehehe...

full tank about rm100...more or less...cant really remember...warranty also i cant remember...its been almost 3years since the car being sold...sorry...

yups! agree with u...

did i not state that it was on 2+1 warranty last time?

But is 2 + 1 = 5?

lol

naza came out wit 2 sales plan laa...

1st batch is 2+1
2nd batch is 3+2

is it hard to understand or can not brain?

im not pointing to any one...just sharing

forte 2.0 2011 for sure can get below 75k..

dropped a lot ler for korean cars. (for now la)

Yeah, I'm among the early adopters. So I didn't get the 5 years warranty .

so...base on your experience...how good is the forte? i was looking to get 1 before...but choose mazda2 for its rarity...hehehe...

p/s: in the same price tag bracket

It should fulfil its tab as an everyday car, going and coming back from work without giving you a headache and the gadgets should keep your hands itchy in the cabin for a while. It is comfort car with low NVH, but change the tyre to a comfort one to further reduce the cabin noise. And with the 6-speed gearbox and 6 airbags (for 2.0), I think it's a steal compared to its asking price.

seriously, can u read?

"forte is 2+1 years warranty. think bout it first."

This is what I see. Is there any hidden meaning that I'm supposed to find? Some code that I need to unlock before your real meaning can be deciphered?

That is what most owners misund, even for the inspira, the 5 years warranty, it is just 3 manufacturers warranty and 2 more EWP.

The preve on the other hand gets 5 years manufacturers warranty.

isnt it the truth? or the truth hurts too much?

You talked about inspira and preve. What about forte? still 2+1? Isn't it supposed to be 2+3? Idiot..

he is looking for a used unit.

Reported.

What a pu$$y. Go back to yo mama and cry like the little girl you are.

And used 2011 units already have 5 years warranty. Idiot..

Trolling a troll? Try harder please..

haha..TS mean 2011 which still got 3-4 years warranty (if the car by new 5 years warranty)

Added on May 28, 2012, 8:04 pmbtw proton is not so bad...i live with it for 2 years..
but becoz i bought second hand which at tht time already 5 years old car..so this years come to 7 years old age..
