I wasnt paying attention to the cruise control on the steering wheel. was more focused on the handling and power.

I test drove a couple of cars that day. And my memory kinda fails me cause I definitely sat in a car with leather seat. but not sure if it was when i was viewing the car.

Ill be dead honest with you and say,  I already had my heart set on the civic, was just test driving it for the heck of it, to tell myself i gave other cars a chance.

From my pov, a mugen body kit on a 2.0 civic is sexy. ahahaa . Biased towards civic too much that I may not have given the forte a chance. But I definitely had some reservations about it.

Nonethe less =) I feel its a good car, but just not too my liking. Maybe 5 yrs down the road when I change my car, Kia would have changed enough for the better that I may consider getting one of their cars instead .

But if I had the cash, I would definitely be going up market and getting a beemer or a merc cause currently, im a freshie and just started working.. civic is the only price range i can afford.

If not i would have gotten the type - r . LOL
