TATA MANZA
This Indian wonder has lots of space and power that one can get. While P600,000 is a lot, the brand has yet to gain recognition. A breath of fresh air in the sea of Japanese and Korean rivals. Aura model rivals Accent for the availability of diesel engine.
The Good: Spacious interior cabin
The Bad: No safety features
Price Range: P600,000-P738,000
