I personally don't like the looks of the kia rio sedan but I have a huge crush on the hatch version of it. Unfortunately, it only comes with an automatic tranny and only one variant around 800k php. I've also read reviews that it is a gas guzzler (the Rio HB). Hehe yup! I bet Mirage looks quite good when modified. However, I cannot seem to find a lot of photos of modified Mirage on the net.

Yes, there is a recall but it is a preventive one and it "may" only affect the vehicle's front braking system so it is not that so serious. The advertised FC is almost realistic if you properly drive the car. The stock GLS is already handsome but if you put some mods then it will become more handsome ha ha!
Alright! Now I have something to tell my dad hehe. Thanks a lot sir!

If you want a big car, get the cheapest Rio. 1.2LX MT, bare, but who cares.

If we are to be stuck among the given choices, i'd get the Picanto MT. Next is the Mirage.

Dont get me wrong, but if you're too worried about spending so much in fuel, why not try saving the money to be spent for mods and use it for fuel costs instead.

Yes, I do love the feel of driving a stick. It's like I have a lot of control over the car as compared with an automatic. But when stuck in traffic, especially on uphill roads, I would always wish I have an automatic haha! But I would still prefer a manual for low maintenance costs in the future. I like the look of the Picanto too! It's modern and unique. Well because it's like this, the gas allowance is from my father. If I use too much gas, because of too much road trip, I have to allot a portion of my daily allowance for gas. For mods, it's purely my savings.



**I think the Spark looks better than the Mirage and could also be modified further to look better. But I think it's all about preference.

Is there any reason for me not to like the Mirage? are there any reported problems with it?

UPDATE: It's now 3 votes for Mirage and 1 vote for Picanto!
