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

current forte resale value with drop when the new K3 available...after 9 year?forte price?
inspira wouldt drop much,after 9 years i believe still many willing to buy a inspira secondhand for modding

seriously?

Face problem.

u got money but still wana buy this 2 junk? better buy cibic lar

Of course preve better....inspira dont have one way valve, no bugatti veyron boot opening mechanism and engine oil deposition

y loan? got a guy is buying his car with CASH

Forte -> KIA..... Use 1 year, no market value... If u wan use it for 9 years, then go for forte....

Bro... dont forget the special side parking feature... useful when its hard to find parking.. u can squeeze into those tight tight spot

easy to say loan 7 year max, 5 years the best...easy to say if 9 years, better take cheaper car so loan <9 years..
like tat u live ur life for wat..as long as u satisfy, go for it be it years or 12 years..not yet buy car already think 2nd value..just buy the car u like..no need squeeze the installemnt to shorter period, then wat next?

Still need to ask? Sure buy Forte in terms of specs and alot of features. My inspira auto lock pun xde Unstable and engine sound damn loud!
My friend Forte handling good, sound proofing better and powerful.

Test drive both...see which you prefer.

I test drove both...and decided on the Inspira.

Why ? I don't know...I just went for it. So far so good.

Drawback --->people will look down you. They'll flash their VeeOs and C.Tee keys on the table of your local pub / teh tarik hangout.

lol, that junk has assist parking?

This I agree.

Infact you can show off your Forte push start by pressing it about 10 seconds before the car starts!

What better way to make sure all your passenger know your car have a push start button!

@ TS : Have you went for a test drive with both cars?

Spend on what is neccessary unless u have alot of money to spend.

u even can show off when the key in inside the boot then the boot cannot close

no wonder teen bankruptcy is on the peak.

U saying this based on your own knowledge or someone else's vomit?

The Forte resale value is quite good but still behind Proton and the Japs for sure. But still much better than previous generation Koreans.

Only use when you are in a hurry and need to squeeze into that tigth spot!

Exactly. They dont look to the future. Always live and spend everything now and after 10 years still at the same level.

Memalukan saje! Drive fake car still so proud Wait wait ini barang ade add +5 hp? I oso wan look for XC. Shit! I oso drive fake car mah. Save some money to fix and repair my proton better!

i rike this
simple and to the point no need talk much

How much can I trade-in my Inspira for the Forte 2.0 ?

Kia K5 lah.....

k5 above 100k wor

VW Polo Sedan...just shy of RM100k

reeacchh ppl = ppl know you are reach, you dont need to say it out loud

when you have to say you are, then you are not.

this got 2.0 ?

he just want the "VW" badge and made in india badge

Obviously TS is looking for C-Seg with bigger car and more space, also higher power output..
Vios is not comparable IMHO..

save a bit more and go for K5 mah...

in after K5 > Forte/Inspira...

meaning forte resale < proton < Japs = sucky resale value...no ?

u just said u shouldn't take loan more than 7years = high monthly repayment....and u are toking about not looking to future and spending everything ??? i kenot logic ur reasons....

I rather take maximum loan...pay minimum loan and do other investment with my extra cash every month..... ......oh wellz whatever works for you............


P/s : is it just me...or is this guys contradicting everything he just said ??? ...neh i think he's a genius and i'm an idiot...thats all....

That is purely buying for the badge and "feel good" its German engineering..
Specs and feature wise is a big let down.. unless they price it 80k+ below 90k

BACK TO TS TOPIC....buy what u want ...both cars is great in it's own ways......test drive both...consider every expect...for example : if image is important to you...then go for FORTE.....branded ma....ppl see proton and will spit at it.....

i bilif everything thats need to be said has been said.....ur own choice...choose it...but it....enjoy it...and no regrets

No contradiction anywhere. When i said dont take a loan more than 7 yrs, its based on worst case scenario. Best case is 5 years. Maximum loan concept is not for cars. You use that for properties as there is an appreciation factor involved and the interest payments is calculated on daily rest based on the outstanding loan amount. In cars, the interest is fixed based on the total loan amount but although the amount of interest you pay is same, but in reality it actually increases despite the decreasing loan repayments. This is why for a 9 yr loan the amount of interest you pay is really high and will outweigh many 'other investments' you may have.

no wor... I heard ppl said VSC very very .. very very very important oh... u know.. Inspira talak tu... mana boleh...

K5 ada..

MAY HAVE = DUN HAVE IT YET......
WHY TAKE LOAN = cuz i dun have the money in the first place....(loan is already spending future fundings)

therefore

why the hell should i worry bout the money i haven't even earned yet....if i HAD the money...and based on what u mention above...buy CASH or dun buy at all la....isn't that better ?

u can buy a NISSAN SUNNY for rm3k cash....better right ???

Added on August 14, 2012, 12:30 pmerr...if K5 got then little brother FORTE sure got la....OK LA....then must choose forte....it's the ONLY way...!!!!

Nevermind then. U obviously dont quite understand what im trying to say here. Go attend more talks on financial planning and maybe then ull understand how average ppl are able to retire at the age of 40 and still have a good steady passive income.

HUH easy...have lots of lots of money lor......no meh ??? ...please forgip me .....i'm stewpik...

Not really. Its about becoming a smart investor and making the right decisions from young. Anyway, im not retired for sure but im working in that direction. There are some LYN members here who are quite successful at a young age and its not always to do with the job you have.

Good for you if you are heading that direction.....

i wonder HOW MANY MORE MILLIONS OF PPL is trying to head that direction......and how many ever succeed .....

how often have u hear ppl tell u this and that..sure will make u rich 'scheme'...join this join that will earn u money....forex..shares.....investment.....again how many ever really succeed ???

if it was that easy...how come the poor population is increasing ??? shouldn't they be decreasing...seems like what u just mention above is so easy....just go to some seminars....be a smart investor...follow step 1 to ~ and BINGO....i am A SUCCEFUL RICH FELLA.......

just a question for you to ponder about....dun tok like things are certain bcuz u follow a set of rules or direction...and u will surely make it...

LIFE DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY...and REALITY IS CRUEL.....

but then again...what do i know....i'm stewpik and drive a cheapskate protong with 9 years loan......

Yes i agree. I was quite disappointed with the Polo Sedan. Specs, design and interior quality quite far off from other VW makes. Although priced a bit cheaper, but i think they should have not made it so cheapo. But generally, VW is still a great brand with good engines and transmissions. Hope they come up with better and more affordable models in the near future.

Dont worry. Im not involved in any get rich scheme and my targets are very realistic. Ive achieved many of them now with a few more to go. The idea is always be spend wisely, invest carefully and have a quality life.

yeah..both car are great in itwn own..each has both advantage & disadvantage..
somehow someway quite funny because many LYN user talk n compare torque, time to take for the car reach 0-100km/h & etc....uncle n pakcik n aunty n ah beng out there doesn't look at that way...there just look at price/spart part/resale value/look. that the truth

go for nissan almeera..hehe

sry not 2.0 hehe
