Please bear in mind that this is only a personal review of mine after driving the car for 2 weeks.

So okay, I was one of the 4 lucky winners to get to bring home the car for 2 weeks.
It’s lime twist and was a total head turner. People stared while I was driving on the road, poeple loitering around the car while it was parked. I was so overwhelmed by the attention that it was gettin, I was getting a lil’ embarassed.

So anyway, every car has its ups and downs right? So let me get to the good points (or bad) first.

Good (or bad) Points:

- I love the fact that the car is semi-auto. There’s a plus minus sign on the left side of the gear box for
you to control whenever you like but it’ll only go up to gear 4. When you’re feeling lazy, you can
always go to the Drive function.

- I also love the 6 disc changer cos it’s so efficient, instead of the usual one disc. BUT there’s a con
that comes along with it. When you wanna change disc, you’ll have to skip one by one.
Which means, say you wanna play disc 6. You’ll have to skip disc 1-5 in order to play 6.
It’s huge turn-off for me esp when driving.

- The boot is huge. It’s really huge.. Don’t underestimate the 2-door car.

- It has a sunroof! I love it but how I wished that it is  a full roof instead so my passengers
get to stick their heads out while cruising..

- I’m not so sure about this cos my usage and yours may be different. But just to tell you,
I have pumped full petrol 2.5 times during my 2 weeks rental. And with that,
I think the fuel consumption is quite impressive.

- Last but not least, I think it’s resonably-priced too..

Bad Points :

- The car is a bit low for getting in and out of.. So, not recommended for old and tall people.

- The pick up speed…. gosh! Gear 1, fine.. gear 2, fine.. gear 3, bad…. My speed practically dropped
when I shift to gear 3. And this part right here, I see cars speeding past me already. Grrr-eat!

- The space for the rear passengers is not very spacious. Again as I’ve said before, tall guys will
not seat comfortably if you fit 3 at the back.

- There’s no handbar for you to hold… (Imagine you sitting at the back and the car makes a u-turn)

Ok, that’s about it I guess… Basically, it’s still up for you to decide and for you to test drive and judge for yourself. This is only my 2 cents.. Have a great weekend people!

Hey guys!

Thanks for the love..
I’ll try to upload more pics when I’m done but I’m still finishing up my huge stacks of stale pics.. lol!
There are so many! My friends have been bugging me for pics until they finally gave up.. haha!

So okay, let me confess.. I’m a lil’ contest junkie..
The latest contest I joined was organised by KIA, which was called “Wonderful 2 Moment”.
There was a total of 5 winners and guess what? I was one of them!
Not the grand winner sadly, but well.. at least I did “win” something.

As one of the weekly winners, I get to bring home one of their latest car, Kia Forte Koup, for 2 weeks.
I’ve been driving that lil’ green monster for more than a week now and I’ll be returning back the car on Monday.
I’m currently driving the 1.6(A) Lime Twist model and boy was in for an uncomfortable moment at the start. That’s only cos it’s my first time driving an Auto car.. heh! But I’m getting way comfortable in it already…

Here’s a look at the car.

So if you see this car cruising down the road, it’s me!! Don’t forget to holler alright? ;P

Cheers people, have a great week!

Wishing you guys a Happy Valentine’s Day! Enjoy your celebration if you do celebrate..
If you don’t have a date, don’t worry… V Day is not only for lovers. You can celebrate with your friends as well..
If you’re heart-broken or dateless, go hook up with someone random.. You never know what will happen.. lol!
Don’t let the bouquet of flowers, chocolates and bears you’ll see people carrying around bring you down.
Those are just things that you can buy yourself.. haha!
As for me, nah.. won’t be celebrating it. I like it that way.. It’s been years since I celebrated one.
There are many, many other V days for me.. ;P

Once again, Happy Valentine’s Day! Spread the luuuurve around you!
