This was my first car, bought 2nd hand during year 2016. Mine was 2.0cc 6 speed year built was 2012. Ive had eyeing this car for months before i took it.
Here's what best for me of this car:
1. Sporty looking, others in her segment only mitsubishi lancer was the top and i'll placed her seconds
2. Got paddleshifter as well
3. Steering felt really light, it was electric power steering
4. Rim stock 17" size, most other in her segment was 16". Again, lancer was 18" and Altis was 17" as well (but Altis still pricey of the same year)
5. 2.0cc was quick eventho this car heavy at her segment. Cruising easily goes to 160kmph and steering still felt sturdy
6. Audio system was okay-ish but change mine to aftermarket
Cons:
1. Fuel consumption is high, but not that too high
2. Spare part was easy to find around online/halfcut but a bit costly. Some people told me it was costly like owning a honda?
3. Shock Absorber prone to weak/faulty after 5 years of use
4. Small spare part mostly use plastic gear. Side mirror use plastic gear. The steering got small plastic gear(forgot whats it call) that will cause guk-guk sound when turning the steering but will not cause safety of the car
8 years as of 2nd owner I had replace:
1. Aircond compressor and radiator due to compressor failure
2. Rear wheel speed sensor
3. Front absorber two time changed (used OEM, not original)
4. Replaced stabilizer links due to bad rubber
5. Replaced belting and belt tensioner due to bad bearing
Sold it last year due to car upgrade. Still miss her tho..
