Yesterday I was working evening shift. I left office in KL and drove home via some highways. The x20 is a lovely car to drive. I don't normally drive fast, but yesterday, I felt the eagerness of the car to just go a little faster.
My previous ride was a Kenari, and I drive the Kancil around alot. The x20 is a totally different car to handle. Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- It feels so stable and quiet at high speeds. I feel safe in this car. (* however, read cons below on cornering)
- Its not underpowered, i feel the eagerness of the x20 to move! Get OUT of the way civics :)
- Steering is effortless, with really strong centering (** centering here means the force to return the steering wheel to its center position after turning)
Cons:
- The springs are soft though. Gotta be careful on the corners.
- Being a compact sedan, the response (force felt) in cornering is delayed. I'm not sure how to explain this, but cornering in the Kenari/Kancil is totally different. I guess this is caused by the heavy rear end of a compact sedan.
- I'm more "careful" and worried, especially looking out for potholes, scared my rims bengkok or scratching the car.
In conclusion, be safe on the road and follow the speed limit. Hehe...
