    I agree with the majority folks - follow the sticker - 36 psi. It is for your own safety.

    Setting it to 30 psi is dangerous:
    On a high speed turn the shear force might dislodge the tire from the rim. There was a study on this on Drive It on DW-TV.
    It might also dislodge the tire when you turn too early and the tire side wall hits the gutter.
    Lower psi also results to faster thread wear.

    2014 Toyota Wigo
    ::Disclaimer: This is my first review, but feel free to add or correct my mistakes. ::
    With much research, and consideration to our budget and needs, we’ve decided to purchase the Toyota Wigo G AT (Automatic Transmission). Wanting to buy a car that won’t break the bank, and at the same time economical, the WIGO was the perfect choice. Here are my thoughts about the car:
    EXTERIOR:
    Aside from the Toyota Badge that seems to bother everyone here (“you’re only buying the badge”), the front fascia reflects the newly redesigned Toyota line up with edgier front bumper design or what some would call “fangs”. The G comes with chrome accents in the grille, around the bumper integrated fog lamps and side molding. The hatch has an integrated wiper, and spoiler with a third brake light. The wheels and tires are just right considering a small powerplant. You really don’t want big wheels and tires with that small of an engine.

    You do know that the Toyota Wigo is a re-badged car that was designed and manufactured by DIAHATSU?

    Yes I know. Same manufacturing plant as the agya and ayla. I think some of us here are too hard on a car thats under 550k; comparing it to cars of a different class.

    ENGINE:
    The engine is a 1.0 Liter, 3 cylinder, Daihatsu engine. It puts out plenty of power for normal city driving. Coming home from the dealer, the car had a hard time passing trucks on the SLEX. Maybe I was too gentle to the car, but I did manage to pass a truck with the engine screaming at me. If you need a fast car, you’ll have to wait and save up for it, but it you want to get from point A to point B, and don’t want the hassle of commuting specially on those rainy days, then this is the car for you. The front suspension strut-spring combo does the job well, but the axle beam and spring in the rear can be too bumpy at times. Overall the ride wasn’t that bad as others have mentioned.
    INTERIOR:
    The dashboard is plastic which was expected for this price range. If you’re expecting soft touch material or even “fleather”, save some money because you won’t find it in this price range. Gauges are analog, with a small Multi-information display (MID. The Guages are orange during the night. The center console is dominated by the Touch screen Head Unit which is Navi capable, Bluetooth calling and music, and SD card. Inside the glove box is a USB input. The Climate controls are analog so you have to turn the knobs. Again, this should be expected at this price range. The front seats are adjustable and provide ample support. However, they only adjust forward and back but not up and down. The headrest is also integrated with the seat back, so if you’re like me who prefer the small “pillows” for the back of your neck , you’ll have to find a way to have it sewn on the seat cover. The rear seats would’ve been good if they’re split 60/40, but they’re not. Headroom and legroom is adequate for the average height Filipino. The seating capacity is five but it won’t be comfortable if you’re going on a long drive. Cargo room is large enough for a small family on a weekend trip. Under the compartment is the full size spare, which is a plus.

    okay lang naman na too bumpy un rear suspension baka advantage yun para di tumama goma sa splash shield lalo na pag madami karga sa likod, di mababa maxado ground clearance. mas mtigas suspension mas maganda daw sabi ng mga pro sa cornering etc etc.

    mas maganda yung matigas yung rear kaysa naman malambot tulad ng complain na sa accent na lumulubog.

    Test drove this car... here' my feedback
    -Engine is decent. I have not tested it on ascends though.
    -Interior is spacious. My knees are not touching the front seats even if i move the first seat to a comfortable position. (comfortable being subjective). The first row seats are unified, meaning the headrest is not removable
    -I hear the machine roaring between 40-60 but is tolerable. The sound would not cause you to panic.
    -We were able to test it on a flat road reaching 80kph and the Wigo feels like it can handle that speed.
    -The seats provide comfortable cushion despite being thin

    Dislikes
    - The tires look like it needs an upgrade to a thicker 14".
    - The back seat can not be folded on a 40:60 but it can be folded as a whole.
    - The inside feels cheap with all the plastics.
    - No lamplight between the first row seat and second row seat. The only lamplight inside is locate in the front seat
    - The seats looked thinner than the ones we are accustomed to seeing in cars
    - The doors thickness seemed to be slimmer

    This will be my first choice at any given day over buying a second hand car. Also I checked with the guys from Toyota about FC. They said that according to their test drive it's really possible to hit 20km/l on highway drives but on city driving they say around 14km/l.

    I am eager to buy this but I would probably wait for the Yaris which is launching on the 31st of March. I am looking forward that come April or May. Toyota would have some promos like cash discounts, or all-in even for cash buyers. And by then I do hope that they already have sufficient supply.
