    1. The body is weak as hell. A bike collision can dent most modern cars pretty badly.

    2. Realistically, no modern car (for that price range) can last more than 3 years.

    3. The luxury components (ex: A/C, seats) are VERY sub standard.

    4. McPherson suspension system sucks. It just saves the manufacturer costs and doesn't benefit the consumer in any way.

    5. The leg room even in the Ford Fiesta/ Ikon is very poor (for South Asian standards at least).

    6. Most modern cars can't take town/ village roads. The ride is just horrible.

    I honestly feel that most "mid segment" cars are just over-marketed gimmicks rather than a comfort adding utility. Anyone else feel this way out there???


    I will use my cash first to enroll again in math101, to get my decimals and commas straight. Before I start my dilemma on which car to choose so as when I post on car forums/talk board everybody would understand me so that people wont strain their eyes on what the !#*#$ they are seeing on their pc monitors
