hi.. morning guys.. i am new here.. i was
looking to buy a car as my first car.. my current list is preve forte persona and inspira..
and also.. i have found a promotion for old stock 2011 inspira 1.8 cvt.. they are giving 8k discount on the car.. after discount about 76-77k..
i wan to ask.. hows the car performed with 1.8l cvt? i am not a power hunger driver.. dont need a powerful car.. as long as the machine i smooth.. and i am gonna use it for long term.. 7yrs and more..
what do you guys think? can give some opinions? thanks~~

hehe bro..
budget a bit tight here
previously aim for preve.. but many qc issues
i assume much lesser qc issues with the inspira.. am i rite?

oh yup.. not much but still they are some issues which cannot be solved till now..
coz i am
gonna use it for long term.. so i assume a mitsu engine can last longer?
been driving 2 proton with mitsu engine.. both serve me well for more than 10yrs.. hehe
oh ya bro.. mind to share the FC for inspira? city driving.. non aggressive type + 1.8L..

i am ok with it.. i test drive the preve before.. the sluggish for pickup is even worst..
i see i see.. then i think 1.8L is enuf to serve me well..
my budget doesnt allow me to buy any other cars more exp than that price..
bro mind to tell me your fc? for city driving?
is there any shiftronic for inspira 1.8 on the gear shifting knob..
coz sudah stop production.. cant find any brochures of it liao

i got shocked by reading FC
normally what is the FC?
QUOTE(animegod @ Sep 7 2012, 08:54 AM)
By all means.. just get what you think is right.. Don't worry too much about the price.. new ones comes with warranty, you'll never know when you will need that...
BTW, where are you from?
hi all, morning;
bro zaizai1989;
1) "looking to buy a car as my first car" & "been driving 2 proton with mitsu engine.. both serve me well for more than 10yrs.. "
--> welcome, same case here, drove for 14years edi.. only now bought my first car

2) "budget a bit tight" yet "gonna use it for long term"
--> what's your max monthly budget after deducting ALL of your monthly expenses & monthly emergency saving?
3) you're concerned about the
FC, yet you wanna use it in the
city & an
auto?
---> seriously? what's your benchmark / other car FCs you wanna compare with?
serious discussion oni please.. else, with the slightest hint of trolling, kena lipot & TS-pipass will have to take stern action

owh, and i couldnt agree more with what animegod has to say, plus i'd add, it's not as if your income is gonna stay stagnant for the next 5-9 years (depending on car-loan period), so yeah, my heart says this car'd make a sound purchase
good luck
