Yung A/T talagang sirain yun for most, but not all!

Kung 'kaha' lang pag-uusapan, I've NO complains on it, it's STURDY & NASTY pare, yes I MEAN it. Why? In my experience, I had previous accidents already from bumping hard on the rear, then on the left side of the car (taxi nakabangga saken dati sa intersection going Rob Malate, durog na durog yung harap nya, medyo tiklop yung hood, basag lahat ng ilaw, radiator, pati headers at battery nadale tsk tsk. Yung akin, sa left passenger door lang ang tama, 1 mtr. in diameter lang ang sakop, about 2 in. deep, dun palang makikita at malalaman mo na katigasan ng kaha, so it's really great for a mid-size ride.

Yung time na yung nabangga ako, para pakong natatawa nung nakita ko itsura ng taxi, dahil kakaiba damage, as in kawawa. Yung galant parang binangga lang ng tricy, hehe!

Maybe you can consider the 'sharky' one, kahit SS basta M/T, oks yun! Mas maganda ride nun compared to my 7g (konting stiffness though tolerable).

Gud Luck!
