I should be grateful about my car even though:

1) The suspension system is tough, the car gets really bumpy on Malaysian road.

2) The bumpiness causes serious vibration to the other parts of the car. Some of the plastic gets loose and produces random noise.

3) Has no resale value since it's under appreciated.

4) The fuel consumption is not optimized for city drive. (Unless you're more careful on stepping the pedal)

But yeah, it's a good horse in her own way.

1) The CVT is no fight for other cars within the same pricing level. It's so smooth and powerful. Sometime you just forget that your car is actually running on a 6 gears system.

2) 1.6cc is still better than 1.5cc.

3) The reverse camera is just too useful.

4) The tough suspension and the electronic system make the car stable when cornering at high speed.

5) It's a C segment car at B segment price. The interior space is large.

6) The brake is nice. I guess the braking has already saved me from a few accidents.

7) It has a good look. Designed by ex Alfa Romeo chief designer.

There're things that I hate but yeah, I learn to look at the good side and adapt to it.

I'm happy to see more and more kia forte(s) running on the road.
Korean has some good horses.
