Car Choices:
Less is more and with that in mind, we pick the 1.6 that carries 130hp. Some say that it will have a hard time, but it can propel the 1,200kg hatchback with ease. A 4-speed automatic is standard among 2010 models, it was upgraded to a 6-speed in 2012. Go for the latter if you can find one.
The second engine is the 144hp 2.0 that can move the car with ease. We'd avoid this one since it may have expensive maintenance costs and it is less fuel efficient.
1.6 LX units gets power windows, power mirrors, power door locks, alloy wheels, airbags, ABS brakes, rear wiper with washer, fabric seats, mudguards, CD player with auxiliary and USB, and alarm system. 2.0 LX gains stability control while the EX adds parking sensors, moon roof, and speaker lights. Mind you, the features (not including the sensors) of the EX are nice but they have the tendency to break so we'd skip this one.
