Car Features - Top 10 Most Viewed New Car Profiles

Since adding new cars to the mix last July, we had tracked them in which more views meant their popularity and people searching them had interest. Half of them were sub-compacts, three mid-size SUVs (one is an anticipated vehicle, which we posted a day before its launch), and two MPVs. Unlike the most searched vehicles released by Google Philippines, the results are different from us (maybe we started late though).

Other cars like the Honda Brio and Brio Amaze, Toyota Vios (which, surprisingly, didn't make the list), and Mitsubishi Lancer EX were follow ups.

So we shall give to you the most viewed vehicle profiles

Car Profiles - Mitsubishi Mirage G4

MITSUBISHI MIRAGE G4

While the Mirage hatchback was a runaway success, the G4 had to compete with nameplates having more power and amenities. Don't let the tiny footprint fool you, it has tons of space inside.

The Good: Interior space for its size, nice features and amenities thrown in generously.

The Bad: 1.2 engine may get strained, acquired taste styling.

Price Range: P584,000-P819,000
