Disclosure: Honda Cars Philippines Inc. kindly lent me a 2023 Honda BR-V S CVT for nine days. It arrived with a full tank of gas and loaded RFID cards. The company also treated me and other motoring media to breakfast, snacks, and lunch during the BR-V media drive. AutoFun Philippines paid for additional fuel, RFID load, and a carwash. When I was in college, I owned an Isuzu Hi-Lander. Those of you old enough to remember that car would know that it was the boxy predecessor to the venerable Isuzu

We at AutoFun Philippines believe that having a narrow car is conducive to couple closeness. One advantage of having four-wheeled means of transport is that the cockpit (i.e., the front interior area) usually seats two and that the means to enhance intimacy (i.e., the air-conditioning and infotainment controls, plus the glovebox and a number of storage bins or cupholders) are within easy reach of either front occupant. That said, it helps a lot if the lateral distance between the front seats is

Has the 2022 Honda HR-V gotten smaller in size? I've test-driven the Honda HR-V recently and was really impressed with the whole car! There is nothing really major to complain about the car, other than the car feels a bit smaller than before and not as roomy in my opinion.

There are certain characteristics that we look for in a vehicle as we want the best or the one that fits our needs and wants. The industry's fast-moving category these past few years are SUVs and crossovers classes, but apart from that, pickup trucks are in-demand, too. Nowadays, a pickup truck isn't only for loading heavy cargo and towing boats, nor perfect for off-roading, but it has become a part of the style statement. Truly, it has become a dream automobile for both men and women, aside fro

According to Japan’s BestCarWeb, the next-generation Lexus IS will be a pure-electric (EV) model. It will reportedly make its debut in 2025. Recall that late last year, Toyota announced its range of EV models to be launched by 2030, which includes Lexus’ EV models. Amongst them is the Lexus Electrified Sedan and BestCarWeb believes that it is the basis for the next-generation Lexus IS. Further details are scarce and entirely speculative, but BestCarWeb claims that the next-generation Lexus IS wi

All other pick-up trucks’ Part-Time 4WD transmission have just three modes – 2WD High (2H), 4WD High (4H), and 4WD Low (4L). When driving on normal tarred roads, only 2H should be used, even if it’s raining. Using any other modes on high traction surfaces like tarred roads will cause premature damage to the transmission. 4H should be used only in off-road conditions while the crawling speed ultra-low ratio 4L is only for extreme off-road conditions. The only exception to this is the Mitsubishi S
