Detractors Beware: The Honda City (Now With Honda SENSING) Is In Its Best Form
Many were sad when the Honda Jazz had to leave the country, me included. Honda Cars Philippines unofficially said ‘sorry’ when they brought in the City Hatchback. It’s not the Jazz but essentially, they’re the same—small hatchback packaging, 1.5-liter naturally-aspirated engine, creature comforts, ULTR seats, and a good set of safety features. Yet many people (not me) dismissed the City hatchback unfairly simply for not having the “Jazz” name.

Honda City: A Sedan For Both Heart And Mind
Buying a brand-new car is a decision made by both heart and mind. Not only should you go for a car that tugs on your heart by being a head-turner and easy-to-drive, but it should also satisfy your practical side by being easy-on-the-pocket when it comes to overall ownership.

Review: 2024 Nissan Almera VL Turbo
In a stroke of genius, Nissan rid the fourth-generation Almera of its ugly-as-sin styling and added a dose of sportiness to transform this forgettable sub-compact sedan into one of our segment favorites. We loved it so much that we named it one of our Top 5 Picks in 2021. Fast-forward to today and we have the updated Almera. Now, I don’t know about you, but I feel like with this update, it’s managed to both take a step forward and a step back.

5 Reasons Why The Honda City And Brio Deserve A Look
Admit it: we rarely get excited when it comes to entry-level motoring. Sure enough, they’re often dismissed as mere appliances on wheels—they get you from Point A to Point B fine, but they do so without raising the pulse. However, if there’s one carmaker that goes against the grain, it’s Honda.
