I’ve always has a fascination for cheap and cheerful small cars. I mulled over getting either a Toyota Starlet or a Daihatsu Charade just for kicks. I eventually bought a Hyundai i10 just when it first came out as my daily driver. It was so easy to park, relatively zippy considering the condition of Manila roads, and spacious enough to ferry the gang once in a while. Though it’s a good thing I disposed of it just when the warranty was running out. Deep in my gut I felt that cheap Korean cars are disposable so I sold it fast and cheap. Good thing my fears are now validated by current owners...
