In terms of car dimensions anu ang kasize nito inside and out? Spark or Pica ba? Or Alto?

The Celerio is actually 40k more than the TOTL Eon. Only additional feature worth mentioning is the tachometer. And the Eon has a longer cabin and bigger trunk. The Eon's back seat has much more knee room than the Celerio. The only advantage in space the Celerio has is about two inches more elbow room.

And then you consider the base Eon is 100k cheaper, while the dropped "Gold" trim on the Celerio was almost 600k...

Still like the Celerio... Recommended them before to a friend looking for sales rep cars... But the Eon is a better bargain at the moment.

Oops. I just based it from published prices on the internet, the Eon at 498k and the Celerio MT at 528k. The Eon looks so diminutive it's hard to believe that it's more spacious than the slightly bigger Celerio. What about power? Does the lighter Eon make up for the 200cc handicap in displacement and 10 hp disadvantage in output?

I noticed that you guys haven't done any Celerio reviews, either at BBC or at Kotse. Suzuki being stingy with test units?

Nope. Suzuki doesn't have a current fleet unit for the Celerio at the moment, and we didn't borrow one when they did.

I can perhaps get one from our local dealer, but it will only be a short drive... not a full test including economy... though I'm pretty sure it'll be (very) slightly less economical than the Alto K10 in traffic and the same or better on the highway (due to the better aero).

Mind you... the extra elbow room is part of what makes the Celerio feel roomier... and it is roomier if you only ever need the front seats.

Mirage if only for its start-stop technology (na sana umabot dito).

I also hope it has better rustproofing than its predecessor.

Wait lang mga boss, db EON is on a .8 displacement and Celerio is on 1.0? Pareho lang sila s cylinders, which both have 3.
