Review, Review, Review...

Nope, not my review yet.

When I got to know about Naza's promotion and rebate on the Spectra 5 a couple of months ago, I thought that it might be the time for me to change my 8 years old ride. So I browsed the net to look for some info and reviews of the car:

Please take note that most of the reviews here are for the 2L version which is not available here. So do expect the power and torque of the car will be lower for the 1.6L version.

I'm also surprised to read that the Spectra 5 has won the award for the 'best car':

Not forgetting we have a very good forum here in Malaysia about this car:

With all these information, I was able to conclude that this Korean car is actually much better compares to those previous Korean cars which has negative perceptions in term of its reliability and fuel consumption.
