    Yun din intindi ko so I reconfirmed sa dealer ang sagot sa kin sabi daw ng engineer sa planta use either green or blue fuel. Upon checking with petron the color codes are: unleaded = green; xcs = red; blaze = blue. Weird coz lumalabas xcs lang ang di puede gamitin considering sya ang middle octane rating. Hindi ko makita sa manual kung ano ang recommended rating although nakalagay hindi puedeng mababa. May isang user naman nagsabi nakasulat daw sa fuel tank cover (di ko pa na check) na dapat unleaded lang.

    Also mag iimprove pa kaya ang FC after the break in?

    Technically all gasoline now are unleaded, regardless of octane raiting or level of ethanol blend.
    Part of the Philippines Clean Air Act of 1999 was the elimination of lead by January 2001.

    If the octane rating is not inside the fuel filler lid, try the owner's manual, its probably near the back.

    On the Mk2 Focus for example, it says Minimum of 95 octane on the owner's manual and inside the fuel filler lid, so I usually load XCS (which is 95 octane).

    Wow! Ganda ng Sonic mo. Welcome to the club! dati medyo nabibigatan din ako sa steering since galing din ako ng Honda. Pero today, sanay na ako. About sa pag kadyut, kuha ko na tamang timpla at timing kaya smooth na driving ko.

    By the way, twice ng na yari ng misis ko yung side mirrors. Isa sa beseklata sa driver's side. Yung sa kanan tumama sa isang poste sa parking. Good thing partially hard plastic na black yung side mirrors kaya walang gasgas.

    Got my plate last week. Almost 3mos din hinantay ko. Ingat pala sa byahe sa north. Balita ko ienforce daw ng pnp yung no plate no travel na policy during election period.

    Thanks! Medyo nasasanay na kami di naman nagreklamo sa bigat ng manibela kahapon ang misis ko. Yung pagkadyot sa una lang and masyado na kami conscious ng misis ko sa pag apak coz ang lakas sa gas nung first few days. Dadalhin na ng misis ko bukas sa lucena yung sonic. Malalaman ko sa sabado kung di na magrereklamo :-)

    Good to know na durable yung side mirrors coz mukhang mahal pag nasira pero I love the autofold feature magagamit yan ng husto sa lucena. Thanks sa tip sa south naman kami sana lang di mahigpit. Nag comply lang kami sa mmda requirement na ilagay sa plate area ang conduction sticker number.

    Kumusta FC mo?

    Sa sonic owners, napapansin nyo ba kung lumalambot ang steering over time? Nabibigatan pa rin ang misis ko nasanay kasi sa sobrang lambot na steering ng city. Hindi namin alam na hydraulic steering pala before buying coz it read it in the reviews. Didn't have the time din for a test drive wala kasing malapit sa lucena.

    Wow...naiinggit naman ako. I have been thinking of getting the m/t sonic for some months now. The only thing that really bothers me is the issue of it being underpowered as compared to the other sub compacts out in the market. Giving away at least 20hp...sa mga owners jan, is it really an issue or okay naman ba ung performance?

    TIA

    Slow acceleration on the low gears kahit madiin ang apak after that ok na sya. No
