Didn't drive my Gaga today, instead I took my mum's car, a 2004 Hyundai Elantra 1.8 which I drove for five years before the Gaga. Just like old times.

Took my friend to Teluk Bahang via Teluk Kumbar and Balik Pulau. That means we drove round the whole island on the side which nobody goes to. With my friend around I didn't wanna scare him attacking corners, but I wasn't exactly slowpoke either.

The Huyndai goes around corners well, it's nice and stable because it's lower, wider and heavier than the Gaga. The absorbers were replaced at the end of last year so they're fairly new. The mileage is low for its age, 85k km.

On the other hand the steering is too light and feedbackless, plus the 4AT is rubbish for windy and twisty roads. There's no engine braking, something which I miss very much in my manual Gaga. All in all I find a manual tranny still the best for driving on the roads I covered today, nothing beats the precise throttle control coupled with freedom of selecting gears and engine breaking.

I missed my Gaga today. Will drive it on the same route again after my friend leaves.

Tomorrow morning I'm going to EON to have a new clutch pedal assembly fitted for free, under warranty. The old one squeaks and squeals sometimes depending to the weather.

Oh and I asked my friend which car was more comfortable, since I must have covered about 80-90 km today in the Elantra and about twice as much mileage in the Gaga. He answered, the Gaga
