Suspension wise, Inspira is stiffer (whether it is better or worse, this is up to individual) since it was carried over from the sporty setting of Lancer. Power wise and driving experience, more or less the same. Preve may be slower from stand still due to the CVT, but once it reaches 2k rpm it's a different story I prefer the characteristic of CVT more, no jerking when speeding.

Inspira fitting and finish is neater than Preve, Preve has noticeable vibrations in the cabin. Interior space however, Preve is much bigger than Inspira, especially the rear seats, and the boot.

The front seats are normal, but the rear seats legroom is more spacious in Preve compared to Inspira. My knees didn't touch the front seats at all after I positioned the driving seat to comfortable position

True, as I too have a City

Err you can, but just not with the paddle shifter. Just engage the gear (while at D) to left where you can use the virtual 7 speed, then back to D.

Overall, they are about the same and up to one personal taste. But for Proton to be able to produce Preve that can match Inspira which is theoretically a Lancer, it's a very good attempt
