The least PH car ever... Matiz!
Discussion
I'm prepared for the abuse, but what the heck...
Here is my latest purchase. Had it for about a week.
Day 661: 23/10/11 - The Fridge by v15ben, on Flickr
Nicknamed the Fridge because well, it couldn't look any more like an appliance or have any less soul if it tried.
A bit of background. I live in Korea, so budget car choices are limited to Hyundai, Kia or Daewoos. Add to that equation that driving standards here are absymal, there is no space to park and the city I live in has more traffic jams than I've ever seen... the Matiz almost starts to make sense.
It sounds like a washing machine on spin cycle, looks awful, but it never seems to use any fuel and it was cheap.
Awaits the comedy responses

Regretfully I'm far too powerfully built to fit in one of those. And the pedals annoy me- no travel whatsoever, they're more like buttons... I've got no chance of recovering a front end slide with a stomp of my Alpinestars. And FWD? everyone knows that people only get FWD because they're not man enough for RWD...
I ran one as a commuter car when I got my first Elise. I adored it for all it's objective crapness. On ste rubber it would lift off oversteer like a goodun at tiny speeds and the thrum of the little 3 pot always raised a smile.
Helped me move house and even moved a pallet of bricks (over many trips) one morning.

As others have said, at least it is JDM spec.
Also, how does it compare to the RenaultSport Clio..actually, I think I know the answer.
Did you know the alloys are from the face-lift (2000/2001) spec Hyundai Coupe 1.6.
I guess if it fits your needs then that is fine.
alloys are standard for these, i drive a smaller engined and slower 5 door hatch, fun to rag it everwhere and care little for speed camera's and so cheapDid you know the alloys are from the face-lift (2000/2001) spec Hyundai Coupe 1.6.
