  i heard that if you want to buy matrix, get the 1.8L instead of 1.6l bcos the 1.6L FC is >>1.8L. How come? Teh engine for 1.6L is under powder so engine need to overwork and hence FC is more.
  
  True or not?? I think so

  Cerato has received a number of good review overseas.
  
  If you can wait, my advice is to wait for another month when the number of festive buying decreases. That is when car dealers will market their cars at a price which will reflect the decrease in COE + more freebies. Another observation is that the price of Cerato has reduced a lot since launch and if you don't intend to sell away this car, it should serve you well.
