"Removing" minor dents on doors
kennytoh:
ya, is impossible to rectify everytime...it will keep coming back
initially i care n curse so much, now is like part of my life...so many dents til i dun even know which one is the old one n any new ones appearing.
n can pray that if one day unlucky, ganna hit by other car while driving...please hit on the side where there's alot of dents.

i am ashamed to say this but heres my opinion of the latio car doors - too soft
i avoid parking next to conti cars / taxis / van / lorries
i have a designated spot in my office and this bmw 5 series is my neighbor ... i noticed that he usually opens the door from the inside with a push and thus my car door always tio dented .. complained to him and be softer and he say "ok la, u park further away la"
Got pissed off and when it came to my turn to park .. i did the same thing .. i pushed the door of my car open to give him a taste of his own medicine -

the latio's body is soft indeed. in fact, many if not most smaller cc cars' body are soft becos of the need to keep the cars' weight down. generally, thicker stronger bodies/doors means heavier cars and heavier cars need more power to drive. i ever drove a beemer 316i, strong heavy body but pulled by a 1.6l engine... can't takan the sluggish response so drove on "sports mode" most of the time, FC jialat jialat :nonod:
there are of course strong yet lightweight materials used mainly in high-end automotive, e.g. alloys, reinforced fiberglass, carbon fiber-reinforced polymer, etc.
latio with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer body would be really good... but don't think i can afford liow :w00t:

latio door not bad liao, my previous kia rio even worse, so many dents that i can't even bother to go for dent removal.
So far my latio 3 years of usuage 5 dents, i on the boot not counted as it caused by mango dropping on it ;D, so actually 4 dents caused by inconsiderate ppl, same style same place of parking for both cars so i think latio door stronger.
