    top of the line variant is priced like that of the Vios and the City, but both its competitors have bigger engine displacements than the Sonic. Let's just wait for the final specifications of the Sonic if the price is really justified.

    Downloaded and read the specs but the MT has a better specs than the AT? Is that correct?

    It has a 100hp 1.4L engine, but its specs are meant to compete with the top 1.5L and 1.6L models.
    Features include 16 inch alloy wheels, 6-speakers, dual air-bags, ABS, fog lamps, power features, 60/40 split forlding rear seats etc.

    Parang Rio lang, small engine, with a little less toys. Hopefully the small engine actually equates to good fuel economy.

    It doesn't even few so underpowered compared to the 1.6L Ecotec used in Korean-made versions.

    Just 14% more power, but the Aveo is not really heavy.

    Based on the brochure, the unladen weight for the 1.4 MT sedan starts at 1173kg, 1.4 AT starts at 1200kg.

    Its a bit on the heavy side (by B-segment standards), some 30kg heaver than a 1.4 liter Rio sedan (MT & AT) and much heavier than a Honda City 1.5 AT (1147kg)

    It's not the lightest of its class, sure, but still performs decently. Also, considering the Honda City is not aimed to developed markets like the Aveo/Sonic, it's not so overbuilt to meet NHTSA standards...

    Saw one in MOA (the 1.4 A/T Sedan, in white).

    IMHO, the car is good-looking. But, at PhP 828k, stretch your budget a bit more and you have the entry-level Cruze.

    Comparatively, you get the mid-range Lancer EX-GLX M/T 1.6Li for just PhP 35K more than the top-of-the-line Sonic. It's just me, but the Sonic platform is still unproven compared to the alternative cars at its price range.

    A newly-developed platform can often lead to some skepticism, but the Sonic has a pretty solid platform, not forgetting it's built to higher safety standards...

    test drove the sonic hatch at moa last Nov i think, I was a bit disappointed on how heavy the steering was and imo the lackluster interior and console. imo also It was sluggish. Outside though is another story, imo it looks stunning and I love those hl and big mags.
