The 2024 Toyota Wigo recently made its debut in the Philippine market. It brings with it a new body design, a new chassis, a familiar engine, and a new transmission. It retains its 1.0-liter 3-cylinder engine but has done away with its 4-speed automatic and has replaced it with a continuously variable transmission, increasing its fuel efficiency. However, it has kept a special feature from the older model that new and old drivers will appreciate, adding another layer of safety to the small hatch

Honda Cars Philippines Inc. (HCPI) made serious waves when it launched the updated 2024 Honda City with a life-saving feature. All City variants now come with the carmaker’s excellent Honda SENSING active-safety suite, which includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist and collision-mitigation braking. These not only prevent you from crashing in the first place, but also make long journeys much easier. This made the City the first-ever subcompact sedan in the Philippines to offer this high

Honda Philippines set the bar high when it introduced the Honda Brio as its answer to the small hatchback segment in the country. It was a peppy vehicle that had odd styling for its first generation but got the job done in terms of its power to weight and its handling. It was the benchmark for the segment in terms of performance and features. However, the Brio has a new rival now that the 2023 Toyota Wigo has been revealed as the Toyota Agya, Daihatsu Ayla, and Perodua Axia. We will compare both

The all-new 2023 Perodua Axia was previewed to the Malaysian press on February 8, 2023, giving us a possible glimpse of the next-generation Toyota Wigo. Although the Axia will be officially unveiled on Valentine’s Day (February 14, 2023, for those who don’t have a love life), our friends at WapCar Malaysia have been able to get behind the wheel of Perodua’s new little hatchback. The Axia has long been the Malaysian sibling of the Daihatsu Ayla and the Wigo. It uses the new Daihatsu New Global Ar

A seasoned motorist would probably have a slight reservation or two in driving a somewhat minuscule car much like the Hyundai Eon along twisting and dangerously steep mountain passes much in the likes of the Kennon Road, AKA Rosario–Baguio Road which is a two-lane 33.53-kilometer (20.83 mi) stretch of grueling roadway leading to the top of the world, er, to the mountain city of Baguio in Benguet province, whose range is at 5,000 feet above sea level. (much too close for comfort we guess?) But do
