Misaki Ito's Demio Days

Song played on my Personal BGM: Hello by Naoto Intiraymi

From the album: Hello

Back when the second-generation Mazda Demio was released in August 2002 and exported worldwide for the first time as the Mazda 2, this compact car was a game-changing compact car designed for young customers worldwide that depends on their tastes for design, quality, and performance. For those who recognize the second-generation Demio, what is the only memory you know about the second-generation Mazda Demio? Oh yes, Japanese actress Misaki Ito. Some people prefer the second-generation Demio because of Misaki Ito, you know what I'm saying?

!

If a Japanese actress like Misaki Ito is playing Gran Turismo 5 on her Playstation 3, this is what her car she's driving but the car Misaki Ito's driving on Gran Turismo 5 is the Mazda Demio Sport '03.

Suppose that Misaki Ito's playing GT5 and when she gets all Bronze trophies at the [National B License] at [License Tests], she'll get her Demio as seen on Japanese TV when she was an endorser from years 2003 to 2006. Most GT5 players feel like Misaki Ito when they get inside the second-generation Demio.

Having Misaki Ito's Demio returned on GT5, this was listed as a Standard Tier car, not to mention Scott Pippen's Demio (Mazda Demio GL-X '99) also returned as a Standard Tier car too. As told, Scott Pippen's Demio is the first-generation Demio while Misaki Ito's Demio is the second-generation Demio, as shown from those Japanese TV commercials. However, what we're talking about here is Misaki Ito's Demio (Mazda Demio Sport '03), we'll just leave Scott Pippen's Demio (Mazda Demio GL-X '99) to later posts.

The Mazda Demio Sport is powered with the ZY-VE (1498cc 4-cylinder DOHC) engine that produces a power output of 112HP/6000RPM, torque output of 103ft-lb/4000rpm, 1080kg in weight, and the fuel economy of 17km/L (about 40MPG). It is mated with a 5-speed manual transmission. When Misaki Ito got her hands on the Mazda Demio Sport, she'll max it out to the highest power output of 271HP/6900rpm, 206ft-lb/6900rpm of torque output, and 918kg of weight. (Results may vary depending on the owner)

Because it is a Standard Tier car, only rear wings are allowed to personalize Misaki Ito's Demio but when it comes to exterior color, she can choose whatever she wants (as long as the paint matches the ones from the Japanese TV commercials). If Misaki Ito participates at the [World Compact Car Race] via [Seasonal Events], she needs to tone her Demio down for 450PP eligibility but when it comes to tire selection, she can choose whatever she wants but she can be interested in Sports Tires and Racing Tires.

Gran Turismo 5 players who are driving the Mazda Demio Sport may react that they feel like Misaki Ito because this Japanese actress was in the commercials for the second-generation Mazda Demio. Like Misaki Ito, she can find the Mazda Demio Sport more enjoyable at all circumstances. If she adds a [Fully Customizable Transmission], [Adjustable LSD], and a [Fully Customizable Suspension] on her shopping list for her Demio Sport, she can experiment with various settings to find out which setting fits her Demio when it comes to high speed corners, technical courses, countering under-steering, gravel, and snow. I find it very enjoyable to drive Misaki Ito's Demio on GT5. The pictures I took is like Misaki Ito travelling around the world with her Demio.
