Performance: well, it depends on what kind of performance you
are after, ideally, its better to mod if not you feel "jack-shit"
power on the mid and high rev..
BUT it is a rather "torque" car, meanin you will definately be the
first to "zoom" off once the lights turn green cos of its weight to
power ratio but i can't say thereafter, so mod will be
ideal....what kind of mod? exhaust, airfilter, spark plugs,ecu
tunning.
FC: stock is good but after mod, i am clocking in at 8-9k a litre
and of cos subject to whether you are "heavy footer" as
usual.
Handling: this car feels like its going to "turtle" when its
running on stock suspension and wheels(165/70/14) so ideal you
should lower your ride and upgrade the wheel size before you play
corner etc etc, and if running on stock, i will say good luck to
your arms when you are planning to drive to KL cos the handling
sucks cos the steering is light as well.I hope you know what i
mean.
Honestly: if you are just a point "A" to point "B" person and not
care about interior looks blah blah blah; and if you can afford the
cash then go get a Honda Jazz.
