Despite only entering the Philippine market in October 2013, BYD have come a long way in showcasing that they're not just your typical Chinese manufacturer. Recently, one of the most notable ways they've flexed for the public is through the marketing of the new BYD F0, which was entered into the First Philippine Micro Series racing competition at Batangas Race Circuit in August 2014, proudly finishing in second position after being steered to the finish line by DJ, and drift driver Keith Bryan Haw.
Boasting fuel efficiency, a Euro-inspired look and some neat in-cabin technology, the BYD F0 (which is priced at around the half a million peso) is definitely a breath of fresh air for a segment that up until now has mostly been filled with inadequately built and poorly equipped replicas of mainstream popular nameplates.
For this reason alone, the new BYD F0 should be a serious consideration for anyone shopping for a slick city run-around with appeal running costs.
