    Iyong pinaka MT kaya siguro sa labas. Iyong AGS mechanism baka wala pa. Based sa YT sa India, eventually mukhang may makaka gawa naman ng repair ng AGS mechanism.

    as in everything relatively new,
    the mechanics who know how to fix them are going to be the mechanics the casa / manufacturer trained.
    likewise, replacement parts will probably be available in the casa / manufacturer's stores only.

    if the above are a concern,
    get older, popular vehicles.
    yung maraming marunong mag-kutingting at maraming piyezas.

    I kind of like it. Especially the orange colored ones [emoji521]

    Here's the thing, ang hirap naman pala kumuha ng base Vios eh. According to the SA's I've spoken to bihira lang talaga magka stock.
    Independent taxis and even companies with fleets get the "J" model na rin daw most of the time. Cash price quoted to me (w/ discount) is P721,000. - A little overpriced too in my opinion, when it seems that the only difference from the base version are the wheels (or is it hubcaps lang ba?)

    The Wigo E (M/T) on the other hand, had a cash sticker price of P575,200. Daihat... err, Toyota pa. (vs. this Suzuki's P588,000)

    Choosing between a Wigo A/T or the S-Presso AGS.

    I like the quirky design of the S-Presso but I have a question... Is it not drive-by-wire? From most of the video reviews and instructional videos I've watched, if you drive the AGS set to D, you'll still need to let off on the gas pedal during automatic shifting to reduce shift-shock.

    Traditional A/T kasi, bahala ECU sa throttle command para hindi mag over-rev in-between gear changes.

    like the reviewer said,
    one has to get used to it.
    only the shifting of the gears is hands-free. the gears are still traditional MT-type gears, but are shifted electronically.
    one still has to lift one's foot to down-speed the rpm to cue the shifting, just like MT driving.
    i haven't tried driving it yet, but sitting in the demo model... naliliitan ako sa driver's seat. it's too narrow for fatty me.

    If this becomes more serious, I might schedule a test drive.

    This is actually for my son.... going to be his first car. But pending that test drive, the AGS "feel" from the way people are describing it seems disappointing. But we'll see.
