hi edison1437 & ironthomas,

There is local owners organised club that organise racing at Sepang racetrack. Forgot what club, looks like Forte club vs Lancer club vs Inspira club vs Civic club. You can find them pitting against each other in Civic FD, Lancer, Forte, Inspira. I think that club should have expanded further to include Elantra and new Civic. At that time, never seen Inspira win much for standard NA engine category.

Without VSC, for FF car with multi-link rear, if the back is not heavy enough and lack the real wide stance to counter the weight distribution in front, it will go into understeer when hard cornering at over certain speed limit eg. 100km/h or 120km/h. Forte 2.0L despite torsion beam, the VSC prevents it from understeer allowing it to take hard corner at higher speed than Inspira.

The Lancer/Inspira CVT ATF fluid change maintenance is correct, you can check with SC if you doubted my comment. When Inspira introduced, the original Lancer could still sell mainly because many of the parts in Inspira are not MMC made. Check RV for Lancer, it is still ok though not as strong as back then reason being people buy it for its better suspension, handling and build quality. If Inspira handling and quality are somewhere close to Lancer, it could have defeated Lancer like how Perdana RM80k killed off Galant RM110k in 1994.
kcng,

Refer N-brand defensive driving course held in 2007/2008 and you'll understand what people talking here. All the N-brand models participated at that time failed the handling part and went into understeer dangerously. THis is due to poor suspension setup and no VSC. Having flat side stance, only bent by less than 5 degree angle on the spring.

As khusyairi said, that is 10 years ago tech engine. New Sentra 2013 don't use that. Even US Sentra MR20DE engine with EGR tuned to >140ps. You need to park the Sylphy on steep slope like certain part of Cameron Highland or Genting Highland with a Forte 2.0 next to you. Then both start to move up from zero, you'll find the Sylphy sluggish like it's struggling to move a bit. Try with reverse as well, it'll be worse.

WAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
u, off all people trying to tell me what is going on here?

AHAHAHAHAH

please la even Forte with VSC prevent understeer and able to corner harder?
are u sure what junk u spewing out?
HAAHAHAHAAHAH...

oh god...
wat a nice saturday morning joke....
i would love to take YOUR particular forte and try since u say can prevent understeer and corner harder and higher speed....
   

Ayam tot VSC actually cut engine power when activated.....so in fact when you corner til VSC light come out you will actually slow down.

Deswai ppl turn off the thing when tracking 

VSC stands for  " Very Stable Cornering" feature. When activated, it will stabilize you car and automatically accelerate through the corner faster. It can provide stability that is better than 4WD car.

If you switch it off during tracking then you are doomed.

More cars on the road means more spare parts as well as spare part supplier will bring in more spare parts.

Compared Forte 2.0L vs Inspira 2.0L, these 2 are still exact match as the new K3 Cerato will be sold under Japanese C-segment range.

Forte is Korean made but DNA for its engine & tech from MMC, reliability & durability proven. Spare parts also cheap and highly available. Handling could beat Inspira with help from VSC. Maintenance is also cheaper using conventional 6AT that has stronger gears for startup from idle. FC wise, Forte wins by at least 0.3km/L city driving difference.
Kerb weight 1293kg (lighter due to torsion beam)
0-100km/h 9.8s

Inspira is using Lancer chassis, detuned GL engine + standard CVT JATCO gearbox with smaller gears. Other than these, the rest of the parts are built by P1. The suspension is not the same as in Lancer GT. What I dislike about CVT, ATF fluid change not exceeding 60,000km interval and have to pay RM400.
Kerb weight 1335kg
0-100km/h 10.5s

Verdict is, go test drive both kawkaw and check which 1 do you prefer. Personally I love the Lancer GT but I like the Forte now. Dun like Inspira as the bumpers, steering and some of the non-ori MMC parts seems cheap.

Wake up la dude. Its not 99% local parts la! Most lancer owner said that coz they bought at expensive and feel butthurt. Alot of parts are still from japan, only those make up and some accessories is assembly local by proton. Those lancer selling 120k last time when inspira is not launched. Inspira can be sold cheaper alot is because is made in malaysia and and those parts inside inspira is re-make locally. Do you know that inspira 2012 still have the hot hair blow equipped? Those lancer try to trade in and see, their tears will come out anytime.
For your engine quote, inspira never use campro engine, all are mitsu engine. Dont be fooled by other ppl, there's agreement when they get the lancer from mitsu and convert to proton, the engine is not allowed to be modified by proton and reselling locally. If the engine is campro, alot of people will suffering because of the thirsty campro engine.

1.6 and 1.8 version are campro actually

Toyoda should have employed u to be their copywriter, Vehicle Stability Control sound so difficult to understand, Very Stable Cornering or Very Safe Cornering, surely uncle auntie also understand, lol.......

BTW u r pulling the fellow leg, when u said it's Very Stable Cornering aren't U...  ???

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

What rubbish are you talking about. I own one. Go die please. '
Local content 99%? 

Even women have better understanding in car than you.

TS , i would suggest Exora bold . Many people here doesnt even read or understand the topic starter and what he needs . Got genius fella saying torsion beam with VSC can corner kaw kaw . So TS , if u want to put 4 adult in a car and corner kaw kaw , pls give
my friend a call . He's a ING insurance agent . Good service too . f***ing LOLX at those replies

Zzz

this is one of the example

Exora....BOLD
is it in the TS consideration list
LOLX
