I driving a 8 year old Kia Cerato.
Everytime go over hump I feel like my car sway and bounce gaolat gaolat.

Sometime the feeling is like on a boat rocking and it keep bumping into the berth that kinda feeling. Sibeh uncomfortable.

Is there any mechanism to look for when changing new car to avoid such feel? What Air suspension and what not?

Slow down. Go over the hump perpendicularly (cross sideway will sway).

Your friendly EDMW taxi driver.

Sometimes its not our fault but the humps. The humps are too hard and steep!

My place the hump is stupidly situated at the road bend, everytime I drive past confirm will sway. It is simply impossible to avoid swaying :s15:
Yeah no matter how good your suspension is, if you go through a hump at an angle, the car sure sway, more so for taller vehicles like SUVs.
