Car Choices:
With the 126hp 1.8 gasoline as the standard engine, it is no slow poke but something capable and enjoyable to drive. While automatics are decent enough, we pick the manual since it has six forward gears that can be maximized to extract the engine's power and bring high fuel efficiency.
Only available with the manual transmission (our choice) is the Elite that has power windows, alloy rims, CD player, power door locks, power mirrors, fabric seats, and rear wiper and washer. Next in line is the Luxury which adds ABS brakes, an airbag for the driver, a standard automatic transmission and chrome door handles and grille. On the top is the Elegance that gains dual airbags, leather seats, wood trim, and six-disc changer. A limited edition model released in 2011 adds a GPS system and heads-up display while a Highway Star model that gets body kits from Autotech Japan and a different set of rims were added to the Luxury and Elegance in 2012.
