2023 Toyota Wigo

[Miles_on]

Ocular inspection report:

I dropped by a dealership kahapon, and they just happened to have 2 units on display (silver & yellow).
I can't recall if they were "G" or "E" variants.
---- > I don't like it (compared to original, 1st and 2nd facelift versions)


I. It's longer than it's older siblings

-so kahit 180mm ground clearance, the entry and departure angles are lessened (more prone to 'snag' on angled ramps)
-doesn't have the "micro" car feel of its predecessors anymore, parang Yaris na may dwarfism.

II. Has the same engine as the 1st & 2nd facelift, naiba lang yung layout nung wiper fluid reservoir (left side na ng engine)


III. The sharp angled bumpers actually aren't as pronounced as it appears here sa pictures/videos sa Tsikot.

-Halos WALA na bumper sa likod- it's nearly flush with the rear hatch. Unlike older models where you have a "sacrificial" plastic bumper that's easy to pull off, press out dings and repaint in case of minor fender benders, damage will more likely go straight to the rear hatch and body. Goodluck with the 2 and 3 wheelers...

-As stated above, humaba yung nguso (prone to sabit), nawala yung pwet.

IV. The side mirrors are awful.

I'm not just talking about how they look, they're tiny, teardrop shaped slivers of glass. Even if properly adjusted, parang anlaki ng blind spots.

Don't take my word for it, see one for yourself, basta ako, ayaw ko.

i like to equate the longer wheelbase with a less-tagtag ride.
whether this is true or not, i have yet to see or read about.

yes, i prefer the longer but less ***y side mirrors, for greater rear visilibity.

one thing my first gen wigo had, was a relatively heavy and dead steering wheel.
is the new wigo's steering wheel an improvement?
again, i await reviews.

my 2015 altis has finger-light electric power steering, but has uncomfortably small angle of approach.
in the few short weeks of driving her, naka-dalawa o tatlo na akong sayads.
it is a wonder the front bumper is still intact...

^ sayang nga iyong kia pride. The new models released overseas look good.

Baka Naman iyong kia soluto/Hyundai Reina would be worth the consideration too. I've been seeing so many many on our roads nowadays and it seems to be having more car value than it entry level counterparts. Although mas mahal ata Ang mga Yan compared to wigo.

Sorry medyo nag digress [emoji16]
