  anyone want to review bout dis car...
  
  exterior-looks ok..not that good...depends on individual taste...
  
  interior-looks great...nice quality finish...very comfy looking too..
  
  engine-m16a ..a great engine with good power...125bhp and 148Nm of torque..forged piston and harder valve spring makes it tough to handle high revs..and possible to achive higher power if add on few more upgrades...
  
  handling-stiffer shocks makes it handle better in corners...lesser body roll...this ff car is capable of high speed turn in...
  
  Exhaust-twin exhaust looks great too...it also help exhaust gases to flow well..
  
  overall great car...

  erm.. with a light right foot and smooth changing of gears or with a heavy right foot with surging changing of gears?

  compare apple to apple. not durian vs apple. for a turbo charged car, colt version R isn't really tat fantastic.
  
  i would vote for the swift sport as the market's current best bang for bucks car. like its cousin ignis sport.

  Upgrades? Hmm..... Forged piston and harder valve springs...sounds like strong enough to withstand turbocharging forces... Anyone recommend installing a small turbo to give it more boost?

  honestly CVR isnt that fantastic when it comes to handling....saw it at sepang and it lost to a car with bridgestone turanzas...and that car is alot heavier and 0-100 in 8 secs
