Since its 2020, im planning to get a used 2013/2014/2015 Proton Inspira 2.0... Hence just wondering if it's worth forking out RM40k for a used Spanco / Privately own Proton Inspira.. or are there other better cars out there. I dont want the common Bezza, Saga, Myvi , etc....


Currently driving a 2008 Saga BLM. Bored of it and wanting something more powerful.

inspira can get 20k
botack

If can get good price and a unit without problems, it is a good buy.

buy a tank.

Yes, it's a big upgrade over your BLM, myvi don't even come close.
Not sure about the CVT, but the 1.8 manual one tend to have clutch pump leak. Cost 2k to replace at proton

It is still a Mitsubishi underneath the weird looking bumper.

The inspira is quite a good car honestly.

secondhand viva enough for me.

sparepart machiam susah mau dapat depending on where u live tho

i see most evox otr is an inspira underneath
nice mod btw

to ts, pls think thrice

i mayb get iriz dis year

Good buy if u can find a good model. If got fun drive, manual. For daily driver auto. Value is worth it if u get it for 20k

Smart guy buys Ori lancer

Get MT shiok

You can get cheaper than 40K otr
I bought 2.0P 2012 Top-spec Spanco for 40k 2017
So at 2020 can get way cheaper

Overall very good, parts is abundant due to sharing DNA with lancer, mean the part is interchangeable.

Wear and tear is expected when buying used. So standby RM2k
I changed the whole absorber, brakepad, radiator fan.

FC im getting 550KM for RM100 on total which equate to
11.5km/l which is expected for 2.0

Lousy auto transmission. 40K can get a good GS300 with ML audio.

as a previous inspira owner, i would say yes

its a good and reliable car. Some models have more features than the lancer at a cheaper price. For example, mine had the auto headlights, auto wiper, auto cruise, while my friend's lancer didnt have those

if you can get it for a cheap price why not, it is a good car tho

insapla

inspira is a good buy

undervalued but reliable. dont get manual, sure regret
their cvt is reliable, as long as u change the oil and filter according to mitsu interval

his car modded oi..only for his wife to use to pasar malam

convert Evo / lancer
prangg

how you find a spanco car?

Lol its freakin everywhere
Some shop changed the bodykit

But its easy to detect spanco car

If its 2012 Black 2.0 premium with touchscreen, 17 inch refresh rims. Most spanco are made 2012 registered 2013

Because the 2.0 Inspira with 17inch rim does not come with Black colour for consumer, only brown colour in 2013

Outside can settle bah.

so inspila or new iriz better?

oh, ok. thanks.

in /k, it used to be inspira > all

I own 1 1.8MT, its fun car to drive and to mods. the only annoying part is the clutch bearing leak issue. cost is rm700 to fix if u dont include the plate & cover. price wise u can get at around 25k now i think for year 2011-2013.

i am looking at nissan teana .. you may want to consider the car too ..really feel nice to sit in and cruise driving ... better seats ..better comfort than kia/ hyundai/ mazda/ toyota / honda equivalents

oh don't take my word for it ..go test drive

Worth, cheap to maintain.

Dat wan bcos clutch pump share fluid reservoir with brake pump. Jus flush brake system yearly & d clutch pumps shud last long.

i agree with this.

Better join Bangsar H

Since u are talking bout C segment and want more power... How bout something with factory stock 340nm torque + 6 speed wet clutch DCT + multilink rear suspension like the inspira? The ford focus tdci turbo diesel... Is cost just 1/2 of your budget, u probably gonna need that other half for maintenance and spare parts

If from spanco then previously might be from government owned car.

In my experience of driving the inspira for a good few years, the car is reliable and comfort level is much better than most proton offerings.

Spareparts are quite easy to find and the roadtax is pretty affordable.

If you can get a good price then i think its worth it to upgrade from the saga blm.

2k not enough.
When buying used car at least above 4k, especially for cars above 150,000km

Top up sikit ambit s60... very powderful

topup a bit...owai...

1. it's a D segment nonetheless
2. bulletproof engine
3. if and only if u can afford the maintenance...maintenance cost totally different to BLM

Damn good RV also, sold off at good price

Second hand 17-20k can buy, 40k is kena pisau sayur dy, if you like the outdated mitsubishi look and don’t mind it has many problems, then buy

I use Inspira before. Go for 2.0, not the 1.8. Install sound proofing. The thing I dont like about this car is its quite noisy inside during speeding.

how to avoid spanco inspila?

I love this car. I don't think can get 2nd hand.

Hoi better get recon misilis a300 la...bester

Hari tu ckp axia, now viva, so many ur car.

if i want buy secondhand car.

Lets just say that this particular model is "highly sought after" but only to & for people that knows car, especially since that it has totally no RV, but it handles great, a lot of torque, reliable (i know cause i own one) and very good fuel economy. Mudah only has a few units left, half a page long u can imagine.

Owner of 1.8mt first batch insapla. Major prob so far only the clutch pump issue. Definitely a fun car to drive being a manual with short shifter plus a torquey 4b10 under the hood.

I got 14km/ litres driving on PLUS

srs ah rm 17-20k can get ? MT issit?
Ayam oso using old saga blm

20k usually as stock as possible.
typically 40k is mod until look like lancer with mitu badge....
personally, i prefer sleeper

really don't mind it looking stock, as long as its in great condition and works like a charm okay already..

If mod then should go lower price, you don’t know what they mod, or will spoil or not, later spoil you can’t find the parts to fix it

since when inspira/Lancer is d segment?

if conti yes,
if ricer.....more LED = more performance....like Gaming PC.... RGB = Tuboboost

Driving on highway no big deal. I get 21km/l with City on highway.

oh no.... but im staying in Kuchai Lama though.. =)

Same thought here... went to see a 2015 Lancer GTE .... friend arrived few minutes later asking me why am I looking at a Inspira... then it hits me... if i spent 70k on this GTE, some people will still think i brought a 20-40k Inspira... so might as well go straight for Inspira. =)

from what i surveyed, get the one that is privately owned... if its a sewa-pandu in its registration , it's definitely a spanco....

if can, better avoid spanco.. if not mistaken all their cars 200,000km above but sell as 40,000km - 90,000km..

40k get Mk6 1.4 tsi

tank ahh... scare kena pull aside in JPJ roadblock leh...

insapla is good car

aa i see , i saw few got P.Awam - Sewa pandu stated in geran (carlist btw)

i more scare MK6 maintenance weh.. hahahahahx..

yeap... that's spanco cars... mostly will be those police inspira.. so surely 200k km.. =(...

yeah... that's what makes me consider a Inspira.. xD... but then again , i hate it when driving a manual in jam... so most likely be getting the 2.0p... also 1.8 all comes with fabric seats..><.. i want try leather for a change.. haahahahahax

wooow... yeah.. didnt thought of this... more comfy + definitely better FC .. xD... save some fuel money to buy house.. ahahahhahax

i thought about it like a few years back, but too lazy to change my old saga fl 2012 hahaha

might get motivated to look into it again

got lyn here do sleeper build , stock inspirar bodykit with 4b11t swapped engine right?

Same here.. Saga easy car to maintain... spoiled by how cheap it is... but parents told me either i buy a new car or get them a daughter-in-law before CNY... hence now motivated to get a car... LOL

hahaha poor guy, good thing i'm not under pressure hahaha
car still not under my name and still got retired parents to help me send to workshop
i really dunno how to maintain gg. need to start learning, then maybe one day i can start looking for a car haha.

good luck with your search

yeah... pretty scared for this big jump given that i'm spoiled by how easy it is to maintain a Saga + car loan finish almost 5 years ago... But parents told me either i get them a daughter-in-law before CNY, or upgrade my current car... so ... here i am asking this question.. LOL...

thx.. hahax.. your 2012 still ok.. mine is 2008 BLM ... but it is still ok with a low 150k mileage but not fun getting bullied by fast cars in highway.. xD

welcome to the club

still driving my 7yo inspira smooth and no major headache problem till now

never skipped my leg day after i got mine.
best decision ever since my Proton Wira 1.5MT

now even Shaolin Soccer version of Stephen chow will lose to me in football

Attached thumbnail(s)

did you get to change your car?

Yes. It is a highly versatile platform for mods. Can do AWD without cutting the body or chassis.

Jpj cannot pass awd conversion kan

can consider suprimak

Diam diam sja mah. Plus dont mod exterior too much until raise suspision la

Install after approval la. Because not cutting chassis, u slap Evo X badge and no one knows.
