kia forte 2.0! cause its big bro k5 is the BEST car that price at 140k! forte sure is the BEST car price at below 100k too!

Looking for much more constructive reply beside than "MUCH BETTER", "IT'S BETTER"... what I'm looking for is why?

Alright your reply is a good start since it's a small bro for K5 and K5 definitely looking sleek there with it's exterior design definitely better than camry and honda in it's range, IMO.

Drive first, talk later..

Do more research. There are a lot of topic about this 2 car already.
At the end, no one can tell you which car is better.
Just test drive both car and see which car is suit with your liking.
If you talk about maintenance, both car shouldn't differ too much.
Just in term of spare part availability, local car is much more easier to get.

Forte 2.0 la... Why u compare with rubbish copy cat car?

Ini budak darjah 5 pun tahu pilih

go test drive first. then we talk.

The differences:

Forte has more airbags, ESP, self-dimming rear view mirror. Forte only has CVVT on the intake and has 6 speed g/box.

Inspira is a rebadged Lancer, better handling and maybe a bit bigger in size. Fuel consumption a bit better due to Mivec on both intake and exhaust as well as CVT transmission.

Both cars have:
Auto headlight and wiper, auto cruise, rear view camera, touch screen navigation, leather seats.

forte 2.0 gave me headache if you sit at the back.. the head part of the seat is like rock .. no soft at all.. imagine sit there for hours of driving.. can make you vomit la.. either than that they have fancy in and out design.. not sure bout the performance tho..

for inspira, test myself and the handling quite good, reckless drive also the handling perform better.. proton and mitsu had they agreement lol .. both of them agreed proton can produce similar unit .. standard lah .. malaysian like to complaint .. local car no good la .. import car geng la.. later cannot pay monthly for import car.. lelong pigi lulz

You sure??

When buying 80k ++ car .. Most aunty unker, youngsters .. Will says why dun buy vios?
Vios would be the better choice I guess. If not there won't be so much recommendation. And most ppl tell me dun buy proton

If u like performance can pick inspira as many after market mod can be done. Else forte will be better choice with more features, good safety, modern stylish and won a lot awards.

I see what u did there.. LOL

correct. dont buy proton. endless problems. my car 8 months already 2 times break down.

am not encouraging you to buy from proton.. but to compared with forte.. am definately chose inspira ..
80K++ can afford more comfortables car than these two .. plus i think these two suits better with younger generation .. i think la

how about we talk another way, seems monetary is not an issue.

if u ferry passenger a lot or going to have family soon, forte is better in terms of safety features, specs and boot space.

if you are single, you probably like vrromm vrommm, multilink suspension, fierce bodykit and logo.

both car are about same comfort level, forte comfort can be better if downgrade stock tyre size to 16 inch.

both are using same engine block, both comparable but mitsubishi suppose tuned to be better in torque/performance.


in before balls, skill and technique > safety features and specs = get inspira

If ure talking on specs alone its surely the Kia Forte 2.0L. Not many can match the Forte in terms of specs vs price yet except maybe the Preve. The Civic is also well spec'ed but at a higher price. If safety is important for you, then go for the Forte if ure looking for <100K. But as with all cars, the Forte has its drawbacks too but if resale value is important for you, then ure better off with a Proton for sure. Not sure about the handling of the Forte vs Inspira or Preve though.

If uve decided between these 2, i would strongly recommend the Preve Turbo compared to the Inspira instead. Much better specs, more powerful, better design and i think its % of resale value would be better in the long run.

But why would u take a 9 yr loan? Its a pure waste of money. I would think that 7 yrs is the max anybody should take a loan for. Best is 5 years.

kia forte will be new model nxt year K3...
if u plan to use it for 9 years...better take inspira..

yup, proton will use 5 years old lancer for another 10 years

What a lame reason to buy a car

i guess beauty lies in the eye of beholder

since ts, already stated he will take 9 years, he probably know where to put is money somewhere better.
also better stay at ts question, in before all going out at 5yrs vs 9yrs loan
