Courteous Drivers OTR

I have a meeting in KL this afternoon and as I wasn't to sure on the way as we were gonna be using the B-twisties, I followed behind a friend whom was driving an 1.8. He was in turn following behind a GTO driver friend. We were in a hurry so there was a fair bit of swerving left, right and centre as we moved in between the other vehicles on the road (albeit with calculated risks and please don't try this at home, kids). At one point somewhere along Desa Pandan, there was a roller-coaster downward drive that was pretty exhilarating, especially as you can't see the upcoming road as you climbed up the slope.

During the drive, I can see that the Forte SX definitely had more than enough grunt to chase after the 1.8 and the suspension was good at around the corners. There was still a fair bit of bounciness; but oh well, you just gotta learn to live with that. The tiptronic was nice to use- although I wished that there was more gears to play around with. Four just can't quite cut it enough, IMHO.


After the meeting, it was a sprinted drive to Damansara to meet up with some government personnel. Finally, after 2 back-to-back meetings, there was some ME time. I took a leisurely drive to Mont Kiara and along the way, I saw 2 other Forte SX drivers. Both drivers smiled and waved when we were alongside each other. Nice... okay, it's proven then : Kia Forte drivers are a courteous bunch :)
