not sure about 1.6 forte coz didnt drive it, but the cvt 2.0 inspira also lack feel of speed. even myvi feels powderfol than inspira in term of pulling feel (but actually inspirar is faster acceleration). i guess its just cvt characteristics.

other than the acceleration, cvt sound, engine power, your other review is the same experience as me.

the only real competitor for preve is forte, city, inspira with preve win the best bang of buck, but lacking prestige and slight quality drawback.
