The all-new 2024 Toyota Wigo made a huge splash when it was launched in the Philippines on July 14, 2023.

Test-driving a car for a living sure sounds like a lot of fun instead of moping around in a gloomy-drab corners of an empty room. But excitement levels do churn up a notch especially when a person is onboard an avant-garde Geely Coolray but maybe it's way better to keep a sharp eye on those grubby meat-hooks er, fingers of yours as they entangle themselves to ah, one Ford Ecosport’s blunt-sized joystick? Well, Kool (Kool and the Gang) is cool but Coolray was way much cooler than the name (its na
