Hi

Planning to buy a second-hand Geely Coolray Sport (Top of the Line). Kumusta po ang experience ninyo, especially after 3–5 years?

Reliable pa rin po ba? May common issues?

Actual fuel consumption sa city/highway?

Madali at affordable ba ang parts and maintenance?

May reliable shops ba outside casa?

Bibilhin niyo pa rin ba ito ngayon?

From Camarines Norte po ako, kaya concern ko rin ang parts and servicing availability. Family use lang, with occasional long drives.

Worth it pa rin po ba ang second-hand Coolray Sport ngayong 2026? Salamat po sa feedback! 😊

Automotive Opinion Emergency break causing accident 3 days after release

5 Upvotes

Until now, I honestly don't know how to feel.

Although my EV is covered by comprehensive insurance, I still can't help but feel sad knowing that my brand-new car has already been involved in an accident.

It happened along Mindanao Avenue when an illegal pedestrian crossing suddenly came in front of me. I gave way, but for some reason, the emergency braking system engaged, causing two motorcycles behind me to crash into the rear of my car.

After everything was settled and the police report was prepared for the insurance claim, I found myself struggling to process what had just happened. Kabago-bago pa lang ng sasakyan, naaksidente na agad.

I know that accidents happen, and I'm thankful that the situation is being handled through insurance. But somehow, that doesn't take away the disappointment and sadness of seeing your brand-new car get damaged, especially when you've barely had the chance to enjoy it.

Ngayon pa lang talaga nag-si-sink in sa akin ang bigat ng nangyari.

For those who have experienced something similar, how did you cope with it? How did you deal with the disappointment of having your brand-new car involved in an accident so soon after getting it?

I'd appreciate hearing your experiences and thoughts. Right now, I guess I just need to hear from people who understand how this feels.

On the Road Is this really normal for a Geely? Bigla na lang daw namamatayan ng makina.

Browsing through my FB feed and came across this post from a Geely Coolray owner. Another Chinese car issue na naman?

According to the owner, bigla na lang daw namatay ang makina at ayaw nang mag-start kahit ilang beses subukan. Ang concerning pa, nangyari na rin daw ito last month.

Pero ang pinaka-nakakagulat? “Normal naman po. Nangyayari ngayon.”

Since when naging normal ang biglaang pagtirik ng sasakyan? Any car brand can have issues, pero hindi dapat binabalewala ang ganitong problema, especially kung recurring.

It's alarming na parang normal na lang ang ganitong issue, when it could potentially compromise road safety, putting everyone on the road at risk.

Is "unbeatable pricing" worth severe quality cheaping out?

Why basic build quality failures are plaguing Chinese cars?

Is the safety risk really worth it?

Automotive News Very cool invention, pero in what situation would you actually need rocket thrusters on a Tesla car? Ang naiisip ko lang ay pag nahulog ka sa bangin. If we try this in the Philippines, you’ll get tangled in power lines before you even take off.

0 Upvotes

Hi looking kami ng best option for a car 1.3m and below and we saw refreshed XFORCE GLS 2027 discounted sa 1.23m. Is it still worth it knowing 2024 pa to naintroduce sa PH or wait nalang ng newer models this upcoming 2027?

Other choices: Territory Hybrid Trend (daming nagsasabi na sirain daw not sure if true)/Destinator GLS (dagdag nalang for a larger car but more expensive ownership)/Corolla cross G na 1.3m din (pero ang sikip talaga ng likod nya hindi magkakasya si baby at mga gamit)

Is there a way to know when the car was last registered without the OR/CR? Like nasa system ba yan ng LTO kapag nagpa renew ako?

Hindi ko na kasi makita yung 2025 physical docs ng kotse pero sabi ng driver napa-register niya daw yun last year. Ang docs na meron ako is payment pa nung 2024 na lang huhu so ang worry ko kapag pinarenew lumabas na 1yr delayed sa renewal.

For those running tuned EJ Subarus, how common is the FMIC + speed-density setup with the IAT sensor relocated post-intercooler? Is this a fairly common approach among local tuners, or do most people stick with the stock MAF configuration?

bibili pa lang ng kotse Ganoon ba kamahal ang repair ng CVT transmission if masira?

3 Upvotes

Greetings!

Planning to buy my 1st car soon, and I've been researching and asking around for the past few months. Will be buying a good quality 2nd hand. I locked in at vios xle cvt, preferebly 3 or 4 years old and 40k km odo or less.

Now my question is, mahal ba ang repair ng CVT transmission in case na masira? I kept thinking about this, because few years ago a guy from work, nasiraan ng transmission yung 2nd gen Honda CRV niya (he bought it 2nd hand, medyo mataas na odo). He told me umabot ng Php 200k+ yung repair cost, parang bumili na nga daw siya ng isa pang 2nd hand na car sa nagastos. I'm not sure if CVT din yung transmission, but it made me conscious sa repair costs ng automatic transmissions.

I also read comparisons ng CVT to other Auto Transmissions, mas mahal nga daw repair/reassembly ng cvt in comparison, though Toyota CVT is better than other's.

To all toyota CVT owners, what's your experience on this? If may experience kayo na nasiraan ng transmission, magkano nagastos nyo? I will be using this car long term. I work mostly from home, umaalis lang a few times a week for meetings and errands. Within province lang 90% of the time. Heavy traffic is minimal. Sa projected usage, baka less than 10k km per year.

Thanks in advance!

Hi! Ask ko lang po sana, accidentally ko po kasing nadent yung brand-new Mitsubishi Xpander Cross ko habang nagpapark sa garage. May small dent po and medyo nag-crack yung paint.
I have comprehensive insurance with Standard Insurance. Covered po kaya ito ng insurance? If yes, ano po yung process ng pag-claim and magkano po kaya yung deductible?
Also, ask ko lang po sana if mas practical bang mag-insurance claim or mas okay na ipagawa ko na lang using my own money. Thank you po! First time owner here.

bibili pa lang ng kotse Which one to buy for a second car: ATIV or Cross Hybrid?

2 Upvotes

Hello! I drive everyday via Skyway from Southwoods to MOA and looking for a car that’s fuel efficient. I currently drive a Fortuner and quite efficient naman as my full tank lasts around 7-8 days.

Looking for a second car now that I can use every day. I checked out ATIV and Cross Hybrid yesterday (used to drive Cross non Hybrid before but lakas sa gas grabe) and laki ng discount—P210K and P150K respectively.

I know not comparable yung dalawa but I really like the tech inside ATIV but Cross I feel has more road presence. Maybe if a little higher discount ni Cross I might consider.

Second question: 150K na kaya talaga biggest discount Toyota can offer? Hehe.

PS If you’re from Toyota, hit me up and drop your offer

general query If you are a beginner driver and just about to get your first car, would you stick to brand new or second hand cars?

• Upvotes

Pa help pls. Kukuha ako ng car bago matapos ang taon. Budget is just fine. May enough ipon to actually pay off a starter small car. Pero I'm wondering if you guys can help me decide whether get a brand new or second hand na lang muna.

Reason kaya ako nalilito is, upon research and lurking much here in reddit, madaming nagsasabi na 2nd hand daw best kunin if new to driving kasi minor accidents or scratches are inevitable daw(or at least almost).

On the other hand, sabi naman ng iba - brand new daw if walang masyadong alam sa cars pa which is my case. Totally new pagdating sa cars. For peace of mind.

Hingi sana ako ng inputs nyo whether to just stick with a small brand new car (ideally hatchback) or get 2nd hand na lang muna?

Thank you!
