Used Mitsubishi Lancer GT or…Proton Inspira?

It’s another used car review in this week’s show, though we’re torn between two options - Mitsubishi Lancer GT, or its “same-same, but different” sibling, the Proton Inspira? Daniel Fernandez from dsf.my shares his thoughts on these two cars, and what’s the better pick, if you’re in the market for one.

But before we get to that, we talk about the latest cars that are being launched here, including the new Jaecoo J8, the new Honda HR-V and the latest electric BMW, the BMW iX xDrive60 M Sport Pro. In the overseas market, Subaru also just launched its latest EV, the Subaru Uncharted, while the CEO of Ford, Jim Farley wants to learn more from the Chinese EV makers.

In our discussion segment, Daniel explains what the customised auto incentives are, and why the plan to move away from this system to a more transparent one is a good thing.
