    Correct.

    OT: Napapailing din ako sa traffic light stops, briefly makikita mo mag flash yung reverse light ng nasa harapan mo which can only mean the dude put the gear on Park. Sino nag turo ng ganun?

    Higher possibility yung small cars ng India.

    Lastly, ang hirap kasi sa atin, walang "City Car," kahit yung Eon makikita mo sa mga highway... A lot of people will recommend (kahit dito sa Tsikot) na a used bigger car is a better option.
    True, if the price is too high, then no one will buy/bite.

    But if the actual real world City FC of 11 to 19km/l for the 1.0L of the Spresso is something to go by, it really is a very efficient city car. I wonder what increasing the tire size will do to the FC (Reduce it by how much)?

    the car will get a good "word of mouth" from existing owners.

    It's manual so depende sa driver kung gusto nya maka-tipid...

    2nd, most owners will be first time (brand new) car buyers. So they will compare the car with their 10-20 years old car... syempre mas matipid pa din yung Spresso.

    Question is: Are there any export market left-hand drive Kei cars now?

    The Indian (Maruti Suzuki) S-Presso is not a JDM Kei car, so it's not limited to Kei car restrictions. It's several mm larger and has a bigger engine than what you would find in JDM Kei cars.

    kei car?
    660 cc engine?
    we had one before. the mitsubishi minica of the 70s.
    yung bawal dalhin sa wrigley's chewing gum factory.

    seriously,
    the filipino car owner wants the most for the least.
    it must be cheap but luxurious.

    That was before, there was the Minica, Fronte etc. Haven't seen a modern LHD Kei car.
    One of the reasons Kei cars are cheap in Japan, because of the lower taxes. Then there's lower road taxes too. Assuming there was a LHD Kei car from Japan, it wouldn't be anywhere as cheap as an S-Presso

    I doubt it as even in RHD markets only pakistan has a kei-spec vehicle offered officially even then its limited to the alto with the wagon R receiving the export spec treatment.

    i think these cars are selling well, largely because they are cheap.
    i believe that only a minority buy these cars because of their small size.
    i myself, got a wigo because it was selling for half the price of my initial intended target.

Suzuki S-Presso
