Feel, Touch a Proton Inspira - Review

Ee Jin told me proton has a lancer model launched recently. I said, sure boh, after so many years, our national car maker still buy mitsubishi model? I thought our national car maker have bunch well trained designers?

Well, a lancer with local logo and selling 30% cheaper...why not to have a look? The next day, my colleague send me some pictures.

Picture above showing the difference btw original mitsubishi and proton inspira. To me nothing much different from the picture. Well...ok...

Car brochure photos is very very well taken. Look at the interior. Impressive with the wooden interior rite?

Lets have a look on the outlook. OK, just logo changed. A trademark shape change to an animal. Errrr...nvm... as long as the price is attractive.

The front, oh man... the nose part should be bigger portion in black... "this is not a lancer" again i remind myself.

I went and have a look myself at bachang branch. Showroom car is very well polished and always looks tremendous. As usual, i knock the front lamp, bonet, every metal part of it. The sound of the metal....is just...sounds....not right.... it's "kuang kuang" sound i told my colleague after my visit. Means not solid, very thin layer feel.

The auto transmission one is crowded with visitors, so, i turn to 1.8 manual transmission. I go inside the driver seat. Well, i quite like it. The dashboard is cool, front interior is cool and spacious. I adjusted to my normal driving position and went to the back seats. The legroom is spacious. I love it. Then came a malay guy sitting next to me. Well, 2 persons at the back is comfort. But then, i told the fella, if another person sitting in the middle, tat would be sempit lah, he agreed. The middle seat had no place for your leg, there is a "lump". So, not comfort at all.

Then the malay guy added, "wow, the seat lembut lah, persona nye keras, ini OK!" I did not agree and just have a smile back. I was thinking, the seat is lousy, it is not solid at all, to me, its wrapped with some cheap sponge. When i sit in, i was sunk in, i dun like it. It does not support me and my butt.

Carboot portion, the brochure shows 4 pcs of luggage can be fitted. Else a mountain bicycle can be inserted with back seat incline to give space. When i open up and see... different story. I dun think it can fit a mountain bike lorrrr, mebbe my boy's bike la... in a magnifying view. There is one "palang" inside the carboot, this palang makes it worst. It is not spacious to me. Spare tyre is not sports rim.

Car tyre is 16" continental. OK la...

Engine are mivec, according to them, 1st batch with limited qty are using MIVEC engine. MIVEC is from mitsubishi motors. They only tune with proton/lotus. Well, but still a mivec. Impressive. Only limited, dun be fooled, after 2nd and the rest, no more MIVEC. So, if you buying one, pls chk properly. The salesman might sinkalan u.

Then i proceed to take a piece of price list and see.

The price:

• 1.8 MT (E)- RM78,999.00
• 1.8 CVT AT (E) - RM84,999.00
• 2.0 CVT (P) - RM91,999.00

Let's see some simple calculation.

10% deposit, loan amount 90%, 7years loan, u need to pay from 1000~1250 per month. 9years loan, 880~1000.

Well, u sendiri think la, see worth it or not la. I told my fren, i actually dun like a proton, so, my review are all negative one. Why? because i know tat the car price export to other country are cheaper we malaysian buy in malaysia. Means, we malaysian is paying the price to other country. Which this disgust me alot.

I even joke with him, the price u pay for, does this free you from one hand holding steering, one hand holding money to pay toll, and try to make another hand to push down ur window, after paid the toll, one hand on steering, one hand try to push the window back. I dun even wanna mention how is the scenario if you driving a manual transmission, gear, clutch, accelerator. U need "Paul" to handle a proton car, rite? How about the odometer, which like to go up and down suka-suka one.

I advise him, with the money you pay, u rather get a TOYOTA VIOS or HONDA CITY, yeah, i know, 1.5cc, who cares? These car are so reliable and give you problem free. I dun simply say one, look at my car *touch wood*, i bought 2003, i finished my loan in 5years, i used to paid RM1170 per month which lead me to hell life. But then, after i finished, the car still give me same performance. I dun need to push my window up or down. I dun have any problem with it after almost 8years?!?!

Well, you see, you heard, you sendiri go and feel and think what i say here are true or not. =)

Malaysia BOLEH! Proton BOLEH! We BOLEH!

*This is my 1st car review in this blog and damn! a very negative one...hahaha*

Who need a good amplifier?

I am not a boom boom guy. So, u wun get boom boom in my car.

I m not willing to spent few thousand ringgit for a car speaker, amplifier, or CD changer. I just dun...just not interested.

But lately i got a new gadget, its uses USB thumb drive to play ur music. Dun need a CD anymore. It can play many many songs, ur favourite tunes, in a USB thumb drive. It only cost me RM10. Wow! with this, who else need a CD changer tat cost thousands?!?!

So now, i can put all my favourite artists into one folder and play their songs, without changing CD. All in a thumb drive.

Oh yeah, let me briefly introduce how it works. It actually a transmitter using radio frequency. It transmit the songs out and ur original car audio will received, and plays it. !st of all, u need to sync both frequency to same channel.

I am so happy with my car audio system now... i can boom boom now looooo....

What is CKD, SKD, CBU?

We always hear ppl saying CKD, SKD, CBU for cars... when come to Kia, Naza, Honda, Toyota, Hyndai, Merz, BMW...etc.

What do they mean? I totally have no idea until i come across an article telling me how to differentiate.

CKD - Completely Knocked Down
Means, all parts has been knocked down into pieces, imported into country, then only re-assemble back in local assembly factory.

SKD - Semi-Knocked Down
Means, some major/important parts were imported, like engine, caburator, chasis, starter...etc. Then will be assemble in local car assembly factory.

CBU - Completely Build Up
Means, fully imported whole car into country.

Now you have know already, i am sure it will help you to understand what the salesman is trying to sell you when you are planning to buy a car.

Meet the Mother ***cker

Advertisement nowadyas are getting more and more creative! I tot i see something wrong!

Oh by the way, its a Japanese car manufacturer's ads!

"Chua Sai" inccident

NOTE: This is not abt our MCA minister...

One fine day, i was heading to muar. Without noticing my fuel tank...

Half way driving on the so call melaka-muar "highway", i realise something was blinking on my speedometer panel. To my shock! my fuel tank is nearly empty. i din know how long it has started to blink. Could it be in melaka? or just... but i remember i saw it left one bar yesterday nite. OMG!



Then it could be started to blink when i coming from melaka.

Immediately i wind down my window, OFF the aircond, maintain a constant speed. Praying hard i could reach muar which is 30 more km away... i become malai-zai, put my hand outside, playing with the wind, not smoking or holding up a cigarette. So, i can only be a half malai-zai.

Look at my kan-cheong face... damn it, i dun wanna stand by the road side and begging for help. And worse, i had an appointment to attend...

I keep driving and keep monitor the stupid blinking LED. Pls la... let me pass thru this time... i dun want to end up sweating like mad.

10min gone and i can see far far away, the lovely signage... oooooo~~~~bliss... turn in immediately and had a FULL TANK fill up!

I never been so happy before going into a petrol station. If possible, i would like to jump and shout! Hahahaha...

Nearly shit my pants...hahhaha....just joking!

Anyway, i would like to share a useful tips with you, just in case ur petrol runs out, and you can make phone calls, middle of the nite, middle of nowhere... wat can u do?

U can pick up a few stones, cleaned away the dust or sands. Throw it into ur tank, this will make ur fuel being sufficient to reach. I think this can help you to start the engine and run extra few KM gua.

This tips was being share by a friend and logically i think, it might works! who knows!

Boss, your RIM is so cool

Boss! your RIM is so cool la~~~ Very very unique leh!

Lamborghini ask me smell it's smoke

i remember since i was a kid, i love lamborghini! I even have the poster bought from pasar malam, hanging on the wall. I used to draw alot of cars model. They all like super power, fast and furious, future concept car. Since until now, i seldom heard or see lamborghini. I dunno wat happen, the pasar malam nowadays dun sell posters anymore, no more aaron kwok, andy lau, jacky cheung, alam tam or sport cars posters. They only sell DVD now...




Anyway, lately i spotted a lamborghini while i am on my way to seremban to attend a customer. The car plate, of cos, as usual is porean one (Dulan~~). So, i purposely drive near near, stick to it's butt... for picture and oso to see clearly how beautiful is this lamborghini.

It's orange in colour, very very low, and the engine/exhaust sound make your heart beat faster. Damn the porean...so kao rich!

So, I follow it's ass~~~all the way towards the toll. Right after the toll, i am heading north and this lamborghini is head south, obviously it is on it's way back from where it came from.

Not a while, in split second, this beautiful creature went off! Disappear from my eyesight! Left it's smoke for me to smell... It make me flash back how i love lamborghini since young... and make me think alot about my childhood too. Those were the happy days!

Deng~~~ when can i test drive leh? gatal la bang!

Zhng my car

My car has been having this "Fu...fu...fu...fu...fu..." sound during drive. It will be more obvious when i making turns. Sometime i think i am driving a helicopter. It was the same like a propeller sounds. Ask a few ppl, some say tyre, some say bearing, some say rim, some say drive shaft.

Omg...i hope it will be a cheaper one pls...



So, i went for servicing before going back KL for CNY. Ask the mechanic, he quite confirm is bearing, so, in order to have a safe journey, i decided to change it once and for all.




The mechanic help me to change the bearing. After the changed, no more propeller sound. I am truly glad. My driving experience is back to quiet again. Thank you so much.

Then, i went to tyre shop to have my 4 tyres replaced. The thread are less than 1.6mm i think. It is not adviceble to drive when ur tyre is having less than 1.6mm depth of tyre thread.




So, after some market survey, I am in dilemma cos...

Bridgestone Kruiser1 - RM160/pc (the one i'm currently using)
Continental - RM 160/pc (whereby all japan GT car using this brand)
Falken 922 - RM170/pc with all in means FOC allignment, balancing, rubber tube. (this is branded man...)




Guess wat? of cos i choose FALKEN la...



Look at the thread! it was quite fine, and this is certainly helps in reducing the noice during drive. The main thread looks OK, big enough for water passing thru.

When its all done, i tell you... shiok la! The feeling is just unbeatable. I love falken and i fall in love with my car again... Pain pain one time only la... just for this CNY. I spent about 1k for maintaining it. "Hurt" but worth it. =)

Wat is my next target? i guess some "magat", repaint the whole car and replace the stupid tinted film.

Baby on board

i got new decor for my car... not a bling bling, not a boom boom... but a sticker!





Because of this, my Liverpool sticker need to make way. It's no longer at the center.





Wat so special? It's Baby on Board sticker! Hahahah...

I can use it on my car liao. (i have kept this sticker at least 1 year+, i can't rmb where i get it) I keep till now. and now iu can use it liao!

But it's true!



It's located in BHP petrol station, Ayer Keroh Height. Promotion ends 30/May/2009.



1st, they will spray water onto your car, then 4guys will pre-wash abit...



then, will send for machine washing... I just sat inside and wait for the car to move by itself.

After coming out from the machine wash, will come to a station where they guy will approach you to buy car wash voucher, they will also ask you whether you need "extra" service or not! Extra service here means, vacumm, tyre waxing, car waxing, polishing...etc.

I just need a vacumm cleaning inside my car. End up I paid RM5.00 for a FULL car wash. Consider the cheapest in town already.

Well my friend, if you only need a car wash, do grab this chance la...as it is very dai lorrrr.

But dun too yim jim la...cos it's not clean thoroughly. As long as it is clean and shinning, I dun mind!

法拉利

有一天，我一个人在人烟稀少的道路上自由自在的飞驰。。。

忽然有一辆红色耀眼的车从后赶上。。。

法拉利！我的妈呀！哪来的呀，竟然在马六甲出现！

特地的阻碍他一下下，让他在我后面。。。哈哈。。。真爽！

没多久，我就让给他了。还打算跟他拼一下，结果被抛下了。

就酱慢慢的消失在我眼前。

这时候，那司机应该在想：“不自量力！门都没有！看见我车后灯算你赢！”

想到这里。。。

整个人也都谢掉了！

唉~~~长叹一分钟！

大雨

一场耗时半小时的闪电大雨后，我家附近就淹水了。。。

唉~马来西亚的排水系统真失败！

好久都没下雨了。

这场大雨彻底的把这几个月的炎热给冲掉了。

好爽快！

但愿不要像两年前的南马大水灾酱就好了。
