Since you're a lead foot your expectations of the cars mentioned are much higher than they really are.
I'm probably going to get flak for this but i'll be honest with you.
The CVT gearboxes in all Proton's are crap.
You're ever only going to feel anything if you floor it all the time, else it'll be like an old man taking it's own sweet time.
Suprima wouldn't give you much "turbo feel" unless you always floor it and drag the gearbox to lower gears.
So Inspira/Suprima out.
Mark X is decent but it's supposed to be a luxo d-segment saloon so it's first gear if you don't floor it, it will be sluggish, second is feels sluggish too.
Third gear is where the fun begins.
You can also cruise happily at low rpm above 150kmh because of a very tall 5th gear.
It's RWD so it can be tail happy in certain situations.
In regards of the tail happy thing, how does it drive in the rain?I'm probably going to get flak for this but i'll be honest with you.

so fortunate to escape scratch less, hence looking at some options and Mark X I guess tick the reliability box and interesting rear wheel drive-drain experience.
