I am planning to sell my VIVA to get a more fitting car for my small family (4 adults).

After much research on the forum and some sites,
My budget would allow me to look at a few options, and i have narrowed down to the following

1. KIA Forte 1.6 SX - ~85k (non local brand, low interest (1.68% or 1.88%), good amount of equipment)
2. PROTON Inspira 2.0 Premium - ~92k (good discount around 7k, good amount of equipment)
3. PROTON Inspira 1.8 Manual - ~78k (good discount around 7k, way cheaper than above after discount)

Hope the sifus here are able to give more insight on which to get and why?

Preve >> all~

Wanna Sushi and stick with inspira.
Like more kimchi then Forte loh.
Support malaysia then Preve will do.

i would go for inspira 2.0 as most of the build quality is from Mitsu. Hence, cannot go wrong. My friend driving one. After 2 years, so far no problems.

I Like Mivc engine. The cover name as campro is fake cover.
Try to order from Mitsubishi and instead of fake cover that so.

The thing about Inspira is that it's more of a cruiser than a "fast" car. Don't expect anything from a CVT gearbox as it sucks all the fun out of the car. However, it's smooth that you can cruize with ease...

Never like Kimchi as parts are not durable and expensive.

At lease the power window module still under Mitsubishi

ANything but proton la... i read in this forum that inspira is 99% local, infact most Lancer owners claim that's true! If Inspira is same as Lancer, why would people go buy lancer and pay 30~40k more?! THey are not stupid la.

As for the inspira/Campro engine..... I was standing there when this picture was taken.... so i can confirm its not photochopped



Attached thumbnail(s)

Buy original at lease the main logo and car card still name it as Mitsubishi lancer right.

If under budget who care lancer or proton logo.
Also like passo & myvi. At lease myvi parts still able to find from daihatsu.

here we go againnnn...

"Why so serious?"

from experience, u better stop buying proton...wait new VIOS, u will never regret... no need compare spec, just compare name and you will b fine kid

Forte for sure.. Need to ask ah kuai meh?

inspira 1.8 manual

forte la. the price might be a bit expensive..but 6 airbags and esp might be bonus.

I think the 1.6 SX variant only comes with 2 airbags, the driver and front passenger airbag. The 6 airbags only available in 2.0 SX model. That's what the NAZA KIA SA told me.

Said bye bye to forte and welcome to Cerato anytime

our of curiosity.... why no exora?

TS: Go test drive lar...ask here no use....Everyone will be bias. LOL.

IMO, Forte must get 2.0....Forte 1.6 really sucks in power...legarthic like my old KIA Sephia....car too big and power too little....you will be ownz by Viva's on the road.

After testing Forte and Inspira...i bought Inspira, now 2 years+......still loving my Inspira.

Forte is 4 star car only despite with the 6 airbags and ESP. The A pillar bent, thus only manage 4 star.
