  Hi Friends,
  
  what a Sexy car!
  
  But is it considered a sports car given its 1.5 litre only?
  
  And look at the price! my goodness, only around 58K coe included!
  
  Air-intake!
  
  Is any of you buying it already?
  
  Like to hear some of your comments about the car.
  
  cheers!

  There's auto but the pick-up for auto cars are not good unless it's a much higher cc.. that's y we got the manual.

  if me, i will still choose auto. manual is a pain if u are not used to it.. especially where there are lots of multi storey carpark around...
• YoGurt75

  23 Oct 07, 13:54

  yah, i also prefer auto car but my bf and i compromise that the next car will be manual as he can't get use to drive auto car..

  Who is buying the car? You? Or your bf? Or are you buying for your bf?
• YoGurt75

  We contribute the $ equally.. but I will drive to work and he will drive on weekends.

  So you would be using the car more than your bf? Then your preference for auto should come first. Furthermore, auto is much more convenient especially start/stop in traffic jams.
• YoGurt75

  The car that I'm driving now is an auto and he dun drive at all but still help me to contribute the $ equally too.. so to be fair to him.. the new car we will take manual.. it's ok de lah.. i can practice my manual skill also mah.

  actually i find that for a manual user to drive a auto car.. is a piece of cake..
  but for an auto user to drive a manual car.. is hell!
  
  so for me.. i will not be compromising on it! ur bf very fortunate to have u as gf..
  
  btw.. what color u buying? sedan or wagon?

  Base on the spec, the rear suspension is double wishbone , new DOHC engine. But it weigh 1.3 ton and was told the FC is 12 for Auto. 4 speed sport shift. Very close to a Mz 3 hatch.
  
  Now a days 1 full tank 45L of 95 is 80 bucks....
