Car Profiles - Toyota Wigo

TOYOTA WIGO

With the Vios going to P600 thousand territory, now Toyota needs something to attract newbies to the brand. Basically a Daihatsu from Indonesia, the Wigo has items that its Korean and Indian contemporaries lack such as a rear wiper and an automatic transmission.

The Good: Practical to own, Toyota badge is enough for some.
The Bad: Cheap interior materials, and there's the Mitsubishi Mirage.

Car Profiles - Hyundai Accent Hatchback

HYUNDAI ACCENT HATCHBACK

While other contemporaries are content on fitting in gasoline powerplants, Hyundai seemed to have its own opportunity by being the opposite. Having lots of power under the hood which returns very high fuel savings wrapped in a practical body is one offer that we wouldn't pass.

The Good: Very fuel efficient, torque galore, classy styling.

The Bad: Limited rear visibility, huge price premium against the sedan brother.

Car Profiles - Mitsubishi Mirage G4

MITSUBISHI MIRAGE G4

While the Mirage hatchback was a runaway success, the G4 had to compete with nameplates having more power and amenities. Don't let the tiny footprint fool you, it has tons of space inside.

The Good: Interior space for its size, nice features and amenities thrown in generously.

The Bad: 1.2 engine may get strained, acquired taste styling.

Car Profiles - Ford Fiesta Hatchback

FORD FIESTA HATCHBACK

Apart from the Aston Martin front and its simplification to 1.5 engine choices, one notable distinction from its sedan counterpart is the availability of the EcoBoost engine. While the drive is fun, rear seats aren't the roomiest.

The Good: Euro chic and fun to drive, brings innovation to the table. Upscale packaging.
The Bad: Unaccommodating rear seat makes it less practical than some rivals.

Car Profiles - Volkswagen Polo Sedan

VOLKSWAGEN POLO SEDAN

This is totally different from the Polo Classic we had before. The Polo is basically a VW Vento (itself a stretched Polo) from India, a car developed for that market. It hits the notes right including a diesel engine.

The Good: Available diesel engine, cheapest 'German engineered' car locally available.

The Bad: Very basic amenities for the price

Car Profiles - Toyota Vios

TOYOTA VIOS

Shedding its taxicab image, this Vios is still the one you know since yesterday. One major highlight is the migration of gauges to the driver side, where it should be. While faux stitches are a classy touch, hard plastics are still present, but who cares? Now with an upgraded engine and an optional CVT.

The Good: Cheap to buy and own

The Bad: Cheap feeling interior plastics
