hi k!nex,
im driving a kembara.. its a dvvt auto CT Elegance, and mine is actually the limited edition that comes with abs brakes and airbags plus leather seat too..(comes with klasik gold color only)

what i can say is, my kembara had no problems at all in braking..
twice experiencing emergency braking..
my dad even installed a stabilizer bar under the hood to maximize stability during taking tight corners(proven good), and also to minimize shaking of the body..

its really2 reliable for me being a University student..
pick-up is really good, since dvvt engine or codename k3-ve engine has higher rev, hence should get a good head start at traffic light..(no kidding)
many moded cars(wira evo wannabe, iswara sound wanna explode) all sometime think im playing them(actually not)..

i've been travelling long distances with it, on highway 140km/h is normal.. can get 150 or 160 max if slope a bit.. haha..

anyway, right now im loving my car so much, easy to maintain too..
been changing and adding accessories..

fuel? lets just say, from muadzam shah, pahang.. going to ipoh using karak highway and crossing at genting sempah is about Rm70.. or roughly 10.5km/liter for mine.. suppose 11 something.. but u know larr going up hills at genting..

its compact like kancil/kelisa, but goes faster(dvvt version), rugged look, 4wd advantage against sedan or low riders.. easy parking, easy handling..
