PPeripheraL Clutched May 17, 2011 Share May 17, 2011 how come korean car also cost so much these days most of it is actually due to COE while they believe the cars they are making are actually either as good as or even surpasses it's rivals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic May 17, 2011 Share May 17, 2011 I am driving a second hand 2009 Kia Cerato Forte which I bought last month. The car is awesome but there were somethings that I dislike and want to improve on. 1) light steering feeling. I got to turn the steering more when making the same right turn compared to when I was driving my previous Toyota 2) when going slowly over a hump, the rear passenger will complain that the car is bouncy at the rear. 3) when travelling at 90-100km/h, and its goes over some manhole cover or uneven road, I can feel the car move slightly sideway. This is totally different from driving my previous Toyota whereby I dun feel the car moving sideway a little. Any ways to improve the abovementioned??? Thanks in advance. 2. Yes, Forte suspension is too stiff and rough. Avante is better in comparison. 3. Probably due to (i) weight of the car. Yup, heavier does not = more stable (ii) tyres condition (iii) tyre size too big. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMS Clutched May 18, 2011 Share May 18, 2011 2. Yes, Forte suspension is too stiff and rough. Avante is better in comparison. 3. Probably due to (i) weight of the car. Yup, heavier does not = more stable (ii) tyres condition (iii) tyre size too big. Thanks for the input. My forte is using 17" rims. Advisable tochange the suspension. Any recommendation?

themagi Neutral Newbie May 22, 2011 Share May 22, 2011 (edited) Anyway, why hatchback always more ex than sedans. Smaller boot but yet cost more. Simply a marketing thing? Edited May 22, 2011 by themagi ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
