  • No major unforeseen breakdowns or problems except for
    • a month after purchase – a leak in a rubber seal which allowed rainwater to seep into the car. it was fixed during the 1k servicing
    • recurring issue – side slipping. the car keeps drifting to the left. Komoco, and most tyre alignment shops, blame the banked roads for causing this issue
  • Normal wear and tear replacements
    • tyres, batteries, wipers, brake pads, shock absorbers, engine oil, transmission oil, brake fluid, oil drain washer,
  • Car care

Who would have thought that a cheap Korean car could last this long without any major problems. A neighbour of mine was so ‘jealous’ that he allegedly left a long line of scratch marks along the left-hand side of the car. I know, you want the new avante right, go buy one yourself. Stop scratching every new car you see in the carpark.

4 years on, apart from the silly scratch, the outer layer of the car is still rather shiny. :)

This shall be the last post about this avante for the time being. Nothing interesting left to talk about. Till something new pops up…
