Hi, vios is not in my list from the first day of hunting car.
My hunting list:
Inspira 2.0P
Civic 9th gen 1.8
Altis 10.5gen 1.8e
no korean and conti for now, part of parent's objection and unknown resale value.
I have done quite some study into the three,
Inspira has the most value to price ratio. Despite the brand and QC it has on par space as civic (altis is slight smaller), almost identical FC as civic (altis is great in FC), black interior (i prefer black).
Civic has the greatest resale value among the three, great speedometer and futuristic interior looking.
Altis has the best FC among the three, but the new generation of altis coming soon (cant wait for it that long).
As I confined my selection among the three only.
For now I quite bias to the Inspira (7k discount looks attractive), and I like the dashboard/meter layout design also (maybe others will find my feel strange ) and quite reasonable resell value?(study some in mudah.my)
Btw I am not a badge guy, but practical suitable in my daily life.
I am living at JB area, 4 family members including me.
Appreciate any comments

Comfort wise....if you're using to ferry your family i think this car is very comfortable....the only thing is your inlaw might ask why you no go buy Toyota or Honda
my previous ride was a 2002 Proton Wira 1.3 GLi so it's a major jump for me. Maintenance wise...you're still maintaining an 120k Mitsu Lancer, problem of the ride....i don't think there's much lar unless you're going to join our TT weekly then you risk FIXING your car alot...i've been driving the Inspila for 60k KM for now.....all good and sweet!
No major issue...only minor ones like sound coming from a few parts of your car (inherited from Lancer)...all of these you can refer to page 1....if you wan performance improvement upgrade (eg. REMAP) you'll need to drive down to PJ....we indeed have a member in Muar who drives down once in awhile and join our big family for some TCSS session. Looking forward to see you....
