2005 Hyundai Matrix CRDI review from Philippines
"This car is a real value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None so far.
General comments?
This car though small packs power and response.
Can easily climb the road to Cebu Plaza even in 3rd or 4th gear.
Very comfortable to drive with the slightly elevated seats and large headroom.
Has a good ride and handles well over bad though urban Philippine roads.
This can outrun any 1600 cc sedans out there.
I would like to continue using this car for the next 5 years or even more.
