QUOTE(Boy96 @ Oct 27 2020, 11:12 PM)    Wented for test drive today afternoon at Jalan Jelatek showroom, no booking prior but only waited for 3 people before me Test car only got the 1.5 tgdi flagship Masuk interior, dayum so amazed at its built quality, start engine so smooth, really like the almost perfect car for the price As most /k/ knows, ayam daily drive a peejot, veedub , ford and protong, so tanya je la if nak tau what i feel as compared to what i usually drive Seems like you drove on construction road which should be full of bumps and holes. How does the ride hold up? Does it make those loud BANG sound when you drive over a hole?

Too bad the running cost and maintenance is so high, otherwise I will look into this car as well. At the moment, will probably consider the other typical b segment options out there

Body roll and pitch is well controlled, handles better than the Socar Mazda CX5 ive tested before, cant comment on peugeot 3008 coz nvr drove it before.. but just the steering feel is a bit too over assisted for my liking, my fiesta has the best steering feel apart from the porsche cayman I've tested last time This post has been edited by Boy96: Oct 28 2020, 12:10 AM
