I bought the 2008 manufactured Dec 2008. Hatchback , Back Color. 1.6 L Variant. The car handles like a MG, or any small sports car. Excellent Handeling. It is fun to drive and fast on flat surface. Up hills in Baguio not so good. It needs more poneys! I tell you if I could find and trust a performance garage I would put a turbo on the engine. This upgrade would make this car truly Zoom Zoom Zoom like the commercials in the states. Excellent Buy. Paid 317000. Peso. Steal! No BS better than a Honda Civic. All day long.
