A trio of special edition Honda models are now invading throughout Japan and they are up for grabs! The Honda Life G HID Smart Special, the Honda Stream ZS Sporty Edition, and the Honda Fit 13G 10th Anniversary. Those three special Honda models loaded with special equipment are surely a collector's item. The Life comes with HID headlights, the Stream ZS Sporty Edition mimics the Stream RS-T, and the Fit 10th Anniversary has a special badge that commemorates a decade of Honda Fit since it was launched in Japan in June 2001. Come and see those three special edition variants at your nearest Honda dealer all over Japan!
The latest facelift of the fifth-generation JDM Kei Car from Honda, the Life makes it more of a welcome treat to please a bunch of compact lovers from across Japan. Now, only two types of Life, the standard Life and the sporty Life Diva, remained and both gained a new aggressive face. This facelifted Life can be an aggressive Life, but the facelifted Life Diva is the most aggressive Life made because the grille is similar to the Honda RK5/RK6 StepWGN Spada.
The oddity of the recent facelift is the interior. Now, the standard Life is offered with the light beige interior while the Life Diva's interior gets even darker and now armed with the ice blue instrumental cluster. There is no way the enthusiasts' choice was the Life Diva because of its sharp looks.
Also on the oddball side, the engines remain stale, even offered with the 658cc P07A SOHC engine (in Natural Aspiration and Turbo for Diva). They're all armed with the 4-speed automatic transmission, so there's nothing special about the performance.
My thoughts about the Life:
Life's good as we know it. For the Life's latest nip/tuck, everything's remain the same even with the new face, new interior, and something to wish for. Just what happened to the Life Pastel?! Never mind, well the truth is, both the Life and the Life Diva's refreshed to take on the best-selling Suzuki Wagon R and the upcoming fifth-generation Daihatsu Move and Move Custom.
A year since the death of Pocholo Ramirez, one of Philippine Motorsports legends, marks the end of the racetrack where he and his family established a few years ago, and this track bids farewell this year. As Subic International Raceway draws to an end, this racetrack is holding an event called "Last Lap".
July 30 - Practice Laps
July 31 - The most successful car clubs in the Philippines come together on this track. Also, pro drifter David Feliciano shows his drifting skills on the track. Races on this date include the Philippine Touring Car Championship, Miata Cup, Circuit Showdown, and Run What You Brung series.
August 1 - 5:30PM - Time to say goodbye
I hope that whoever visits the Subic International Raceway on the final weekend will make it memorable. Hope you guys take a picture to make it your personal memorabilia to post it on your Facebook.
