DIsclosure: Ford Philippines took us on a two-day media drive with the next-generation Ford Territory. The company paid for all our meals and accommodation. Ford Philippines recently allowed us to test all variants of the Ford Territory on a quick media drive from Pasig to Tagaytay and back. Instead of taking the typical highway route to Tagaytay, we took the long way around which brought us through Tanay's mountain roads through Pagsanjan and then up the back roads of Tagaytay to get to our fin

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

The all-new Toyota Wigo is set to launch in the Philippines very soon, but the question on everyone’s mind is if the small hatchback will retain its 1.0-liter engine or if it will receive a 1.2-liter motor increasing its power.

The 2024 Toyota Wigo is set to launch in the Philippine market very soon. The new hatchback will reportedly make its local debut after the launch of the 2024 Toyota Innova on July 2023. While its specifications have yet to be revealed, a hotly debated topic on the hatchback is whether or not it should come with the bigger 1.2-liter inline-3 engine. In other markets, the Wigo, also known as the Daihatsu Ayla, comes with a 1.2-liter engine alongside its standard 1.0-liter motor. The bigger engine

Let’s turn the clock back some five years ago. In 2018, I was 40 pounds lighter and working part-time as a motoring contributor to help me through graduate school. This was also the year that I started my racing career. 2018 was also when the cars in this list were showroom fresh. Even without the “new car smell,” which is actually a combination of chemicals from the manufacturing process, these models still have plenty of life left in them. Indeed, five years is typically the time when most com

A beautiful machine, the 2022 Honda City combines its looks with great power and efficiency. Now, let’s look at the City under the hood. Under the hood, the Honda City is run by an In-line 4 Cylinder 1.5L DOHC i-VTEC engine. The main difference of this engine to its predecessor is that it now has dual camshaft. This engine is Euro 4 compliant and is paired with either a manual transmission for the S variant, or CVTs with Earth Dreams Technology for the three variants – the S, the V, and the RS.
