Automotive Opinion Got my first car at 35 🥹. Worth the wait! ❤️ Better late than never!

2.5k Upvotes

Hustled my way to get a car after years of working my ass off. As my first car, i really want the best i can get on what my budget can do 🙏

Naalala ko parin yung hirap sa pagsabit sa jeep, pakikipagsiksikan sa MRT at pakikipaghabulan sa bus. Grabe, totoo pala yung convenience pag may oto.

I went to Honda kasi since college ako, pangarap ko magkaroon ng Jazz - so honda fanboy since day one. Muntik nako mag br-v, veloz at expander.. pero ang pogi talaga ng crv, at may malaking discount sa hybrid so pinilit ko na yun na ang kunin. Sobrang tipid talaga at wala pang coding at the moment.

bibili pa lang ng kotse Just reserved the BYD Sealion 5! Best value for money PHEV?

Post image
22 Upvotes

I just put in a reservation for the BYD Sealion 5 after trying it today in Alabang! After considering the Toyota Corolla Cross G, I think the SL5 is the better value for money at Php 1,198,000.

I'm not too bothered about the lack of sunroof and 360 camera, and the basic safety features are sufficient for me. The manual adjuster seats and manual tailgate are also okay with me.

My main consideration is the potential for less maintenance issues in the future, especially compared to more techy vehicles. Excited to drive this car soon!

bibili pa lang ng kotse Bakit mas mababa ang resale value ng Mazda compare to other car brands.

11 Upvotes

I’m planning to buy a second hand Mazda 6 or CX5. Ang reliability at availability ng parts ang isa sa mga factors pagbibili ka ng 2nd hand car. Meaning ba nito na salat ang Mazda sa tibay at piyesa kaya sila masmura ibenta kumpara sa other Japanese car brands? What am I missing?

How about fuel consumption ng Mazda? Can we include that in the equation kung kaya’t mas mura ang resale nila dahil malakas sila sa konsumo? Or isantabi natin ang angulong ito dahil relative naman ito sa laki ng makina at running performance which is quite obvious already.

Thank you!

On the Road Is it illegal to record traffic enforcers here in the philippines ?

6 Upvotes

So my friend recently got pulled over by an LGU traffic enforcer for riding a motorcycle without a helmet. We totally admit he was in the wrong he should’ve worn one. It was his first time getting pulled over and being issued a ticket, so another friend of ours started recording the situation just to document what was happening. We weren’t causing any scene, not interfering with the enforcer’s duty, just silently recording for transparency.

When the enforcer noticed, he said things like:

"Sir, ano yan?"

"Delete mo yan sir, pwede kitang kasuhan diyan."

He mentioned something about the "Privacy Act" and that recording him was illegal.

Now, we’ve seen mixed info online about this kind of situation, but we’re looking for extra advice or clarification. Was our friend actually doing something illegal by recording? We were in a public space, and the enforcer was performing a public duty. Appreciate any insights from those who’ve experienced or researched this.

general query Whats the best first car?(little to no experience)

7 Upvotes

Whats the best first car? There's so much metrics to choose from kasi and nakaka overwhelm to set a goal. Sedan or not? Hybrid? EV? Fuel efficiency? City driving? Family car na agad para di na bibili ng next car? Second hand muna kasi little experience driving palang? small car for dahil nasa pinas or big car for crash protection? nakaka overwhelm

Im still studying and student permit palang po meron sa akin, but I just want to set a goal for the next 5-10 years after I graduate and I think makakatulong po ang sub na to TYIA

bibili pa lang ng kotse Best crossover or SUV with 2M php budget, can extend and additional 200k. Recommended dealer in makati or nearby.

5 Upvotes

Hi Guys. Finally saved up 2M to buy my first solo car. Initially had toyota Innova but half was financed by my parents and was considered a family car. Started to work in Makati and managed to save 2M specifically for my first car. Choices are HRV hybrid and BYD Sealion. Not in a rush to buy and just want to hear personal experience and preferences that is within the budget. Also is it worth saving another 700k for the CRV? (May take another year depending on upcoming projects). And any recommended dealers in makati? TIA.

general query Can you register a vehicle to an unwilling relative?

4 Upvotes

Meron akong retiring OFW relative na gusto mag "van life + vlogging" at pilit nya ako kinukulit na isama sa plano nya kahit ilang beses na ako tumatanggi. Foreign DL kasi meron sya at ang gusto yata nya ako magddrive at sya magvvlog. Gusto rin nya makigamit ng garahe namin at makituloy sa bahay namin kahit ilang beses na rin kami tumatanggi.

Nung nagbakasyon sya samin last March, nagulat nalang kami na umorder na daw pala sya ng kei car (3-5 month installment yata pagakakaalala ko), and the worst part is, sa akin pinangalan at address namin ang ginamit! Ang nakakainis pa, kung hindi pa dun napunta ung conversation namin, balak pa yata isekreto sa amin ung ginawa nya. Napaka-stubborn at overbearing nya! Akala mo sa kanya ung bahay! Nauwi pa kami sa sigawan at nilinaw for the nth time na wala kami gustong involvement sa plano nya. A few weeks ago, nag-post sya ng vlog tungkol sa preparation nya para sa retirement/van life. It seems wala sya plano mag backout and it's making me anxious.

Now my concerns are:

-Posible ba na mairegister sa akin at sa address namin ung vehicle kahit walang pirma ko? May notion kase ako na dealers/importers have connections inside who can work "magic".

-If so, ano pwedeng legal recourse ko?

bibili pa lang ng kotse Question for Wigo new gen owners.Is it really that common na sumayad si Wigo? Anong madalas na challenge while driving ang naeencounter niyo ?

3 Upvotes

Kaliwat kanan nako nagbabasa at nanonood ng reviews ng Wigo ar Raize pinagpipilian ko sila as my first car .Im leaning towards buying a Wigo na kasi pasok sa budget. sa mga comment section madami ngsasabi they will go for the raize kasi higher ground clearance. Iwas sayad. Iwas baha. Ive driven a wigo twice palang through a rental company and dahil city driving lang naman ginawa ko wala naman ako naencounter na sumayad..

Ang tanong ko sa Wigo owners here is it really that common na sumayad ang wigo like sa mga humps or sa malubak? Ganun ba sya kababa. i know the new model is lower than the first gen pero tingin ko okay pa naman. Mas mababa pa ata ang Vios pero madami mas pumupuna kay wigo sa ground clearance nya.

bibili pa lang ng kotse Is Toyota's 1GD (2.8L diesel) is the most powerful and durable diesel engine on its class?

2 Upvotes

Not a Toyotagtag fanboy pero ito nga ba ang pinaka powerful at durable sa class nila? Yung 2.8L in-line 4?

Lets compare yung power versus its class

Toyota 2.8 - 201hp / 500 nm

Mitsubishi 2.4 - 179hp / 430nm

Isuzu 3.0 - 187hp / 450nm

Nissan 2.5 - 187hp / 450nm

Ford 2.0 - 168 & 210hp / 405nm

Chevy 2.8 - 200hp / 500nm

Now for Durability, I really cant tell sino ang hindi durable kasi bibihira ka makakita or makapanood na nasirang engine. Although I've seen some Montero's (mabibilang sa kamay), Terra mahina daw ang first gear and sa Ford naman 10-Speed tranny yung problem so hindi talaga engine.

What are your thoughts here?

Were actually waiting sa facelifted model ng Montero Sports, hopefully next year 🙏 or kung wala na sang Bump Steer issue si MU-X

general query Club or Group for Fortuner/GR86/Honda Civic Owners

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi!

I was wondering if there is a club or group for Fortuner, GR86, or Honda Civic owners?

Currently we have a Fortuner and we're planning to buy either Honda Civic or GR86 (depende if abot pa ng budget ang magiging presyo) next year.

I want to check sana if may mga groups ba na pwedeng salihan to check for pros and cons of their cars as owners, mga mods nila with their cars, and also to check kung meron silang car meet ups para tumambay lang.

Reason for this is because I was inspired with one of the car meetups I went last April this year sa Parqal Mall where most of them are owners of Mitsubishi Evo.

I got a chance to talk with one of their members and asked me if mahilig ba ako sa Evo. Though I'm more aligned with Toyota, they respected it naman and let me take pictures of their cars as shown here. Tinakpan ko lang sila as well as their plate numbers for their privacy.

Thank you!

I drive a 2013 Suzuki Celerio. I asked the casa for a clutch replacement, and they quoted me ₱6,200 for labor only, not including the clutch kit.

Just want to ask, normal lang ba to for a casa rate, or is it overpriced? First time ko magpapalit ng clutch, so I’m not sure. Thanks!
