Summary

Its a great car for those who are into car modification as this car can even fit a 4G63 engine because i saw a video of it in Youtube and also great for college students who needed a car but in a very tight budget since they were now between RM5K to RM10K depends on the car condition

Lastly:

The car was pretty much involve in a couple of accidents mostly from rear and front collision but after being fixed still drives like it came out from the factory and one time after i got my driver license i took the car for a spin at the highway i didnt realize i was going at 170KM without noticing it.
