The car I tested was the 2020 Kia Pegas, 1.4L automatic version. In terms of space, it's a small car — very suitable for commuting and daily errands. Ideally, it's best for four passengers, as it feels a bit cramped with five. There are a few small storage compartments inside for personal items, and the trunk is spacious enough to fit two suitcases. Performance-wise, the car is decent. However, when going uphill or carrying extra weight, you can feel it struggling a bit — if others are speeding ahead, you'll probably be cruising at a calmer pace. That said, the transmission is smooth and comfortable, with no noticeable lag or jerking. The seats are comfortable even for long drives. The front suspension is MacPherson and the rear is a torsion beam — small bumps or manhole covers aren’t really felt, but bigger potholes and rough roads do send some vibration into the cabin. The car holds steady at speed, and the steering is light and easy to control. As for noise insulation, it’s fine in the city and at speeds under 50 km/h — you’ll hear a faint engine sound, but it’s not distracting. However, once you go above 50 km/h, wind and tire noise become more noticeable, which shows the insulation isn’t the strongest. Overall, it’s a great choice for people looking for an affordable, practical city car, especially if they’re on a tight budget. It’s not ideal as the only car for a big family, but for students or new employees, it’s a smart and economical option.
