Review: 2026 Toyota GR Corolla 8AT
It’s often joked that you buy a GR Yaris if you’re single and a GR Corolla if you need the wife’s approval. Whether that’s true or not, with five doors, there’s no denying that the GR Corolla is the more family-friendly hot hatch of the two. The bigger question, and the bigger concern, quite frankly, is this: does the GR Corolla’s more practical package dilute the fun and somewhat raw driving experience of the GR Yaris? Read our review of the GR Yaris.

The Subaru WRX Wagon Offers Performance Level Driving For Everyday Living
Before there were crossovers, there were wagons. These were the classic modes of transport that allowed you to move people and a good amount of cargo without having your car look like a stackable, as how most sedans would turn out to be once packing was completed. This kind of vehicle format quickly inspired the development of a hatch. Not only is it functional, but it offers the most practical way to load and unload whatever cargo you may have with little obstruction.

Review: 2025 Toyota GR Yaris 8AT
You could say that the Toyota GR Yaris is a personal forbidden fruit. Just as I was supposed to sample one in 2021, one nasty accident meant Toyota Motor Philippines pulled the entire GR press fleet out of rotation. That was four years ago. Now that some select hacks have earned Toyota’s trust, I opted to try the updated GR Yaris for myself, and boy, was the wait worth it.

Review: 2025 Hyundai Elantra N 8DCT
Elantra. It’s a nameplate that’s not really synonymous with performance-oriented compacts the same way a Honda Civic or Subaru Impreza might be. More than anything, it’s the Korean equivalent of the Toyota Corolla—durable, comfy, practical. It’s neat, but it doesn’t really quicken the pulse. This is all before the folks at Hyundai’s high-performance division, Hyundai N, had a proper crack at it. As it turns out, once the Elantra switches on its N DNA, it turns from Bruce Banner into the Incredible Hulk—a Hulk that’s more than just brute strength. It’s got genius intelligent and can do ballet too. Better than a Civic Type R or Subaru WRX? In a whole lot of ways.
