    nice car with all the creature comforts--- leather seats, climate control, hands-free cell phone, moonroof, etc (assuming he's eyeing the STA variant). a bit cramped in the backseat, though.

    Performance: Even my friend's girlfriend who drives one feels it's slow. An SLA manual should significantly cure this, but be ready to forego of some features.

    Economy: Not the best in its class, but shouldn't really be a guzzler.

    Durability: Not as low quality as many think. Some owners say it's sturdy, but parts are more expensive.

    Overall, this is ideal for a Sunday drive or after a long day at work. It's comfortable inside with all the features to boot (at least if they still work fine). If that's what he's considering primarily, then this is the car for him. Otherwise he'll be better off driving something else.

    let's put it this way, hindi siya pang spirited driving. comfy naman siya in fairness, pero i think a bit matakaw sa gas because it's A/T.

    Parts is no problem... lotsa extras.

    Performance is a bit on the lethargic side according to some peeps... fuel consumption would get around 7-8 in the city. At 320K the price is just fair (of course pwede pa tawad).

    sobrang bang for the buck, while i didn't like the s3 body before, the exalta gave it more than just a facelift.

    i love the exalta sta. sana we could have that. definitely a good buy, although if i remember it correctly, 95 RON ata ang required fuel nya. im not sure about this though.

    it's a 1.6, it's a given everyday car.

    It's a great traffic car. Just not that fuel efficient (in AT). But it's not a guzzler, either.

    It's a good car for forgetting about driving and getting home as comfortably as you can. Only gripe is the lower-back support of the front seats are SORELY lacking, and you'll likely have to buy a pillow for a backrest if you drive long distances.

    As for maintenance, it's a niggling problem, but NOT a major headache.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Depends on what your ideal everyday driving is. It ranges from luxurious comfort to great excitement.

    We own an Exalta Grandeur (the one with horizontal grills)... and i should say that its a tough car! Madalas naming dinadala sa mga bundok tapos sa bukid na para bang ginawa naming 4x4 tsaka ang lakas ng hatak kahit A/T sya. Tapos hatid-sundo pa sa school everyday... pagmalelate nako, sa skyway ang daan namin tapos naka-off yung overdrive then finoflooring ng dad ko yung accelerator and yung tunog nung engine parang subaru imprezza. ok din naman ang fuel economy. Medyo hindi nga lang ok yung seats sa likod but its still great for everyday driving. It also has great safety features like airbags, abs w/ ebd and the digital back sensor. The audio system is also great lalo na pagnaka VCD ka... parang dolby 5.1. Hehe! What i like the most is the aircon (calsonic)... mabilis lumamig yung cabin kahit nasa first level pa lang nung blower!

    BTW... i saw a very cool grandeur with nismo accessories sa may parking area ng baywalk (spoiler, side skirts, 17" wheels)... basta sobrang astig yung set-up nung car. I had a picture of it before kaso hindi ko na makita sa pc ko. O_o

    well i think that's all i can share about the exaltas.... hope that would give your friend an idea! ^_^
