Toyota's T-Sure Program Certifies Quality Pre-Owned Cars At The Best Price And Service


Pre-owned vehicles come with history — a story of where it has been and what it has been through. Oftentimes, new owners are not privy to the details and, depending on the source of the vehicle, not all the details are disclosed. If you’re on the market for a pre-owned, it is important to choose the right partner that can provide a comprehensive assessment of the product that you are after and whether it offers the best value for your money. After all, just because you are on a budget doesn’t mean that you should settle for substandard quality.

Love Cars And Coffee? The Honda Welcome Aoyama Might Be Worth The Visit

Must Love Dogs: Driving To Pawssion Project In Bulacan


Humans can be despicable at times. Just when you thought their cruelty would extend only to spreading hate and vitriol to fellow man, you hear of stories of animal cruelty from Pawssion Project’s founder Malou Perez. It’s difficult, even for the most hardened person, not to get winded up after hearing how dogs (and cats) were abandoned by their family just because they were just “too much trouble” or that they “weren’t fun anymore.”

The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Is A Tito Car And That's Not Such A Bad Thing


On the surface, being labeled as a “Tito’s car” may seem insulting; after all, carmakers are always targeting the youth or youth-oriented demographic. However, in my experience with the all-new Subaru Crosstrek (the crossover formerly known as the Subaru XV), whether it’s by design or accident, its practical packaging and easy-to-drive demeanor make it the great car for those who’ve just hit their mid-forties. Let me explain.

The 2024 Mazda MX-5's DSC-Track Will Help You Sharpen Your Racing Skills


Jinba-Ittai is the key concept at the heart of every Mazda, and the MX-5 is the paradigm of that philosophy. Originally known as “Jinsha Ittai,” meaning oneness between car and driver, it was a typo on a calling card that led people to call it, “Jinba-Ittai” afterward. Regardless, the underlying philosophy remains the same: it wasn’t about chasing outright speed, but rather, about providing a sense of engagement that was fun yet approachable.

Pampanga Food Tripping With The BMW X1, X3, And 3 Series


It’s been eight years since BMW Philippines last held a ride and drive. The last one, if you were old enough to remember, was with the 2 Series Active Tourer way back in 2015. That was a different era: X was still Twitter, Facebook had a timeline (rather than a newsfeed), and there wasn’t any mad rush among motoring journos to hit, “publish” first on any story. Today, we’ve got a maniac in charge of X, Facebook’s now known as Meta, and journalists (me included) are more concentrated on churning out stories than anything else. It’s times like these I yearn for simpler times and thank goodness BMW’s managed to give that even for just one afternoon.

An Ode To The Internal Combustion Engine: Mazda Fan Festa 2023 At Fuji Speedway


It was a traffic jam worth being in. As our bus went inside the premises of the Fuji International Speedway, we were surrounded by a gaggle of Mazdas. Most were MX-5s, CX-5s, and CX-60s, but there was an odd Mazda Luce or two. Seeing the sight, our bus driver muttered the words, “Ah, rotary engine.” While I couldn’t make out the rest of his Nihongo, his knowledge of Mazda’s trademark engine spoke volumes of the brand’s indelible mark among the Japanese, and the rest of the world for that matter.
