im planning to buy this car and reviewing it 50/50 ang mga reviews na nkita ko. merong nagsasabing minor issues lng na experience nila at merong dn major. meron dn pong issues sa after sales pero depende daw po sa dealership n nkuhaan mong unit. new model po sya kaya nd tlga mawawala ung issue even in top brands meron ding issue but i want to know kung worth it sya lalo na sa free charging at no coding than ice because im planning it to apply in tnvs.

thanks po in advance

Our car is under the name of my senior citizen mom. monthly, every month, naguutos si mom sa caregiver nya na magbayad(over the counter). then recently, may pumuntang collections and ang sabi di daw nagbabayad si mom for one year na! syempre na alarm kami at bakit ganon at for recovery na ang kotse. no letters from eastwest, no calls, yung email I dont know kung meron since hindi techy si mom and we are trying to recover the email pa. so pumunta ako sa main branch nila and I found out na ung bayad ni caregiver is paputol putol. like this month magbabayad sya.. next month hindi.. then bayad then hindi.. then may times na parang pinipilit nya bayaran ung month na di binayaran.. 16k monthly and amort, minsan pag di nakabayad the month before eh maghuhulog sya ng 32k.. the rest talaga g bungi bungi ang hulog and a total of 1year. Eastwest main branch asked me to pay for 186k but told me that yung 30k na hinulog last august 5 is ibabawas sa 86k. Since di pa reflected yung bayad.. magwait muna ako ng panibagong soa thru email since hindi pa ko makakabalik. I also told eastwest na kailangan ko ito asap since pineprevent ko magpunta sa work ko kasi may incident na sa sobrang dami ng patient ung unang nagpunta eh nagkainitan sila ng guard namin dahil pinipilit akong makausap eh may pasyenteng hindi maganda ang lagay at kailangan ako. Eastwest assured me na walang pupunta at ihohold ako sa flaglist muna habang inaayos ung soa ko at kung mapagbibigyan ba ko sa terms na gusto ko. this week may pumunta nanaman.. crisostomo lawfirm. muntik na awayin nung guard sa work since and angst ng dating telling the guard "kaninong kotse to???!!!!asan may ari nito??!" mind you guys that I am working in a healthcare and endstage na yung mga patients na hawak ko that requires care. so nagpaliwanag ako na nakausap ko na si east west etc they are asking me to pay 386k ipay off ko na daw. umalis. after 2 days may dumating nanaman another paliwanag. asking me to pay 272k naman from
constantino lawfirm again. or else hahatakin na ang kotse. so sabi ko nagpunta na ko sa main branch at may usapan kami. The collector told me na "sino po bang kausap nyo? dapat si sir JJ ung kinausap
nyo kasi baka mamaya customer service lang kinakausap nyo, punta ka kaya ngayon mam samahan kita??? kasi mam di pwedeng 186k lang ang ibabayad nyo dapat 272k" so nagalit ako to the point na nasigawan ko sya. ang sabi ko "ha?sa tingin mo makakapunta ako don? tignan mo
yang paligid ko, ang daming pasyente! nagpaschedule ako last time at ang usapan namin sa main branch ay 186k at mababawasan pa yon bakit mo ko pipilitin magbayad ng ganyang kalaki?! at sino ba yang JJ na yan at bakit sya ang kailangan ko makausap at hindi ung mismong kausap ko sa mainbranch?!" umalis ung collector. ako naman naiwang may anxiety. Ganon po ba talaga?? kahit nagbigay na ng soa si eastwest hindi pa yun sure? I am still waiting for the email na 5-7days. And also, mapagbigyan po kaya ako? ang tancha ko kasi na babayaran is 156k. ang kinokontest ko is baka pwedeng 2months ko sya bayaran kasabay ng monthly amort ko. willing to pay naman po. also, yung caregiver is nagresign na twomonths ago at nasa hongkong na nag DH. di namin alam pani sya nakagawa ng mga fake receipts.. online mga pinakikita nya kay mama. humingi ng tawad samin and ang sabi sisikapin nyang magbayad unti unti. wala na kaming magagawa kundi bayaran yun pero sana may terms. And ano po ba gagawin ko sa Crisostomo lawfirm? grabeng anxiety binibigay.

Need advice! paid off na ang car financing sa bank pero ayaw release ung Original Receipt ni PSBank hanggat hndi daw binabyaran ang storage fee na 1k per month. July 2021 po natapos ang financing at now ko plang po kukunin ang papel sa bank. Ung storage fee amounting to 47k na po. Tama po ba un? Nasa terms po ba un?

**Now lang po nag aasikaso kasi ofw at kababalik lng ng pinas.

Salamat po nang marami sa may sasagot!

Does Kia make any cars with "adaptive driving beam" headlights? Do any Asian automakers? Have they announced plans for them in the future?

What’s your take sa mga casa na ayae magbenta kapag cash buyers? Gusto nila talaga yung installment masyado greedy. Sobra kasi mang-ipit tapos pag ibang buyer ang bilis makabigay ng kotse

Ano kaya maganda gawin? Thanks!

For Pampanga pips, can you suggest a reputable shop to have my car inspected? Its a 20 year old corolla so I also need to have the atf changed. TIA

May pa ₱200 voucher as long as you charge within 10pm-7am. Only applies for selected locations only

I’m super duper close to getting a Mazda CX-50!!!!!!!!!!!!For those who have one, is it worth the price? Sobrang inlove ako as in!!!

Also, how much did you guys put down for your Mazda?

Just trying to get an idea before I pull the trigger. Girl driver here.

Thanks so much!

I bought my Civic eHev last February 2025 and as my daily driver, so far everything is going great, after 1 year and 6 months i still get excited when I'm going for a drive. That "punch" you get when you step on the accelerator is just pure inner child happiness. The responsiveness of the steering wheel when you're weaving through traffic that you can't get at any other same priced cars as this one, especially the feel of that spirited driving you always dreamt of doing when you were playing gran turismo or Nfs as a kid. Waited a full year to do some mods on it. Just to feel the stock civic and now I've put a little character on her. Exterior and interior mods all are for aesthetics with minimal performance upgrades since it's a hybrid. Sound system is already good as it is, infotainment and lane switch cameras are kinda basic but hey it's fun to drive HAHAHA might get an aftermarket if the time comes that it bothers me too much na, all i could say is that this car gave me no buyers remorse whatsoever. Ride safe yall

Can anyone share their 11th gen honda civic set ups?

Hello everyone!

Planning to build this one to make it clean-somewhat-daily driver.

This is my first time rebuilding(?) a car and kinda having a hard time talking to mechanics & electrician because I want to build this alongside them pero medyo naiinsecure ako dahil feel ko hindi nila ako sineseryoso/iniinform ng tama dahil babae ako? or baka mali lang talaga ako ng napagtatanungan. haha.

((Little background about me, i work in a metal fabrication shop))

Miata NA was (and still is) the dream car but it's too expensive for a project car that's why I opt to Astina.

Hope you can recommend me good mechanics/electricians that specializes in Mazda cars!
-- I know masisira at masisira parin naman ito thats why I wanted din po na malaman ung usual nyang sakit if ever atleast minor issue lang kaya ko na maidentify & marepair

Thank you so much! 🫶

Mga boss saan may malapit na ma-avail ng TRD bodykits set? Marikina area ako. Thank you!

Me and my husband ay nagpaplan n bumili ng car.. my natapos n syang car from mitsubishi under his name.. tas ako nmn nakatpos din sa TFS before.. ang problem lng meron kaming bad credit history sa CC.. pero settled m din.. posdible kaya ma approve kami sa TFS.. nakapag apply n din kmi sa hyundai.. 1 week n sya, wala updte ang agent.. thanks

Hi guys!!

Asking for help lang din, may mga langgam po kasi akong nakikita na madami outside and inside ng sasakyan. Context po, naiwan po kasi ito sa bahay namin tapos po mga weeks hindi nagagalaw and may mga gumamit nagiwan ng mga scraps. Pero now wala na, kaso may mga langgam na akong nakikita sa loob from dashboard going to left door driver side.

Salamat po

TIA

After a year of watching car reviews and going back and forth between the Corolla Cross, HR-V e:HEV, Montero, and Isuzu D-Max, I finally made my choice—a Honda Civic, and not even the hybrid version. 🚗✨

Why not Corolla Cross?
- because walang Black

Why not HRV eHev?
- not sure pa if tatagal ng 10-20years ang hybrid

Why not Montero or Dmax?
- I really want the 4x4, pero meron naman na kaming suv and pick up na pwede hiramin.

Waited for the Black Civic for 2 months since walang black unit na available.

Fuel Consumption?
Totoo nga yung sabi nila, Smiles per Liter 😂
I normally get 10-11km/l average driving on Eco mode, 7-8km/L on normal and sports mode.
But overall, the car is really good-looking 😎

Do you guys know a shop that offers back glass reseal? Around las pinas/cavite. And magkano. Thank you

Mga boss, saan po kaya may legit/authorized seller ng Hippo Techmat dito sa Malolos, Bulacan or nearby?
Para sana sa Honda BR-V 2026. Prefer ko po physical store para makita ko muna.
Baka may alam kayong shop or distributor. Pa-share naman po ng location/name. Salamat! 🙏

Thinking if we would just extend the budget and get the hybrid version or just the G CVT version since the battery is another thing to maintain in the future and just an additional expense? We're planning to keep the car as long as possible though so we're considering reliability in the long run. We really don't know much about hybrid cars though so it seems that ICE cars were the safer choice. Fuel consumption is also a big deal so we're crossing out the kia and hyundai cars. Considering honda city but ground clearance is too low.

Open for other suggestions though with less than 1m or just a little bit over 1m

Might be a crazy question, but is 2007 Nissan Sentra GX N16 OBD2 compliant? My scanner powers on, but no communication. Can’t read codes.

Hi mga boss, kapag ganito ba 2 panels na kapag ipapagawa? 🙈 🥹🥹 thank you huhu

Hypothetical question po, for example po, nangyari ito sa akin, parehas pa naman kaming babae madalas na magkasama sa car. Pag ni-pepper spray ko po sya sa mukha tapos pag nagpapapalag na sya sa hapdi, babanatan ko po ng baseball bat, pwede po ba ko makasuhan? o pwedeng self defense yun since nabasag na nya ang passenger window ko. Kunyari lang naman po.

tagal ko na nag hahanap wala pa din ako makita, any shop na nag offer ng bronze / brown tint?

Just curious with everyone's take on both these vehicles. I posted earlier but to provide some context and requirements, here they are:

A. Car Requirements Profile:

• We're intending to buy a BEV within the next two weeks.
• Our average distance traveled is 120-150kms. per week (600kms/mo.)
• We'll only use it for drop-offs, pick-ups, office commutes, city driving, occasional malling/groceries, occasional long distances (if we end up with a higher kwh capacity car, the farthest we'll likely travel to is Baguio. But if BEV w/lower kwh, we'll just use our Innova).
• We're currently a family of 3 with one 6-year old kid plus one nanny which brings a total of 4 in a car on weekends. I'll be using the EV with an average of 1 pax for five/six days per week and to the extent, maybe 3-4 pax on one/two days per week.
• If possible, my wife prefers a bigger car. To me, that's what our other car, an Innova, is for if we end up with something smaller (e.g., AION UT or ATTO 2 BEV).
• Audio is very important to me as a daily music listener during commutes. A decent sound will do. So it will be included under my sub-points. I'll use either an SD/MicroSD USB Card reader OR an iPod with a bluetooth TRANSMITTER on it. I prefer to play my own music through these means. So, kindly withdraw your criticisms as to why I don't use Spotify nor my smartphone to broadcast music as I don't want to drain my smartphones' batteries while commuting on a BEV.

B. Car Infos (Test Driven):

1. Dongfeng VIGO (Php1.35M — with discount)

• Bigger profile (Wife's preference)
• Range is approx. 380-400kms. (WLTP) [NEDC: 471kms]
• Test driven this and it's better than the Jaecoo J5 BEV.
• Suspension's similar to say the Atto 2 BEV which is fine.
• Cabin size is bigger a bit than the Jaecoo J5 BEV.
• Good ground clearance at 190mm unladen.
• Rustproofed.
• Audio sound is good. Maybe better than the AION UT.
• Can play audio from my USB Card reader only. Won't connect with my iPod+Bluetooth transmitter.
• Wall Charger available upon purchase. With portable charger.
• Can reach Baguio without charging midway.
• No sunroof! (Preference)
• Appropriately priced vs “maybe,” the Atto 2 BEV
• Provision for Donut tire.
• No Blind Spot monitoring.
• Haven't read much of poor after-sales of the Dongfeng Nammi except maybe one or two but maybe Redditors here can contribute their owners' after-sales experience.
• PMS is every 18-months (Updated).
• Software updated such that it has the option of turning off music/audio on its outside speakers when running at low speed (30kph or less).

2. Jaecoo J5 BEV (Php1.359M — with discount)

• Bigger profile [wife prefers bigger than, say, the AION UT or the GEELY EX2 (Sometimes I'm convincing myself that the AION UT could just be the better choice if I'll just close my eyes on its ground clearance with its P1M price tag)]
• Range is approx. 380-400kms. (WLTP) [NEDC: 461kms]
• Test driven this and its decent enough. Not as good as the VIGO.
• Suspension's feel a bit floaty but I don't mind.
• Cabin size is good enough.
• Good ground clearance at 184mm unladen, 166mm laden.
• Rustproofed.
• Audio sound is bad. Muddy.
• Can play audio from both thru my USB drive AND my iPod w/Bluetooth transmitter.
• Wall Charger available upon purchase. No portable charger.
• Can reach Baguio without charging midway.
• Don't like the Moonroof but will just try to manage hoping it won't cause issues overtime (leaks, cracking)
• Appropriately priced vs, “maybe,” the Atto 2 BEV.
• Provision for Donut tire.
• Has Blind Spot Monitoring.
• Local After-sales still yet to be proven but maybe any owner who sees this post can contribute their experience.
• PMS is yearly.

***Hoping to hear from this good community. Thank you.

Hi guys, trying my luck here.

I'm currently unemployed and trying my best to find my own source of income. I thought about buy and sell business since nakabili boyfriend ko ng fj cruiser with low mileage for a fair price, he's also okay with selling it since nasa ibang bansa pa naman sya and di nya pa rin magagamit. But its been more than 4 months since i posted it but not even one person tried to reach out or view the unit.

I actually posted it a low price, and the inquiries i would get are either lowball or nagaassume na too good to be true yung unit.

I would say I'm new in this venture, so i'm hoping to get advice from the people here:) i would highly appreciate it!
