2025 Honda Civic Type R Grows Up With Black Package
We love the Honda Civic Type R FL5 (read our review). But, if there’s one complaint we have against it, it’s that there’s just too much red inside.

Review: 2025 Toyota Yaris Cross 1.5 S HEV
How’s this for a dilemma? Priced at P 1.604 million, the Yaris Cross 1.5 S HEV is more expensive than the base Corolla Cross 1.8 G HEV. That difference, mind you, is significant as the spread between these two models is P 96,000. For a new car buyer, that could mean covering the cost of insurance or scoring a decent set of aftermarket wheels and tires. As one of the few instances in the local auto industry where you have two closely-sized products overlapping one another in terms of price, it begs you to ask: should you go for the smaller but well-kitted crossover or should you go for the bigger but barebones larger SUV?
