Default Vtec

Ive heard a lot on this board about Vtec and reving the engine to 9000rpm...
I just dont get it, the car sounds really noisey and isnt a pleasure to drive.
Therefore ill just stick to changing gears at about 4000rpm and going as far as 6000rpm

I dont like the way the gears feel so close together and ground hugging suspension makes my fillings loose.

Without " revving " it to 6+ you really are wasting yer time with this car , this has to be a wind up .

But as you say , its your car , enjoy it .

I hate the fact that it is only a 2 seater. I have two dogs and nowhere to put them. The boot is so small that I can't even fit a sausage into it. I really could do with something far more luxurious than this. I am off to the Kia dealers tomorrow, they seem to produce the best cars in this world.
