Review: 2023 BMW iX3 M Sport


The peculiar thing about EVs is that they tend to look like spaceships. Whether it’s to tout their impressive packaging or to visually communicate them at being at the bleeding edge of tech, they stand out. This is great for some, but for others who don’t want to daily drive something that looks like an extra from Star Trek, thankfully BMW’s come to the rescue with the BMW iX3.

Review: 2024 Mazda CX-60 3.3 HEV Turbo-D Sport


The first-ever CX-60 is something Mazda must get right; after all, it’s representative of their premium aspirations. Though some may say that it started with the current Mazda3 and CX-30, those vehicles didn’t command much of a price premium over the competition to warrant raised eyebrows. The CX-60, on the other hand, nips at the heels of real luxury with its P 2.890-million price tag. This begs the question: did they get it right or will it serve as a reality check that’ll send them crashing down?

There's No Stopping Mazda Philippines' Move Upmarket


Mazda Philippines thinks it’s the right time for them to move to the “premium mainstream” space. With the introduction of the CX-60—their third “7G” model after the Mazda3 and CX-30, and the first riding on the Large Product Group platform, the Japanese brand says they’re ready to shake off their mainstream positioning.

2023 Mazda MX-5 RF: Long-Term Test Introduction


Remember that owner who gave me access to a 2023 Snowflake White Mazda MX-5 RF late last year? You know, the one with the Terracota interior? Well, I’ve got a confession to make: I’m that bastard. At the time, I felt prudent not to announce it all over the internet primarily because there was a supply shortage of MX-5s. But now that supplies have stabilized (more or less) and wait lists have shortened (more or less), it’s time for me to discuss ownership of the two-seater sportscar.

Why Did Mazda Opt For A 3.3-liter Inline-6 In The CX-60?


When Mazda first unveiled the CX-60 SUV last year, some eyebrows were raised particularly when it comes to its engine. In a world of downsized four- or even three-cylinder engines, why did the carmaker opt to go for a 3.3-liter inline-6?

Review: 2023 Honda HR-V RS Turbo Honda SENSING


You are looking at the best variant of the current-generation Honda HR-V. Having driven the base HR-V S (and even pitting it against the Hyundai Creta) and the mid-grade HR-V V Turbo, I can now, with absolute certainty, say that those variants simply pale in comparison to the HR-V RS Turbo. Generally, I’m allergic to recommending a variant that’s been dolled up by a body kit and a few extra features, but Honda’s actually dug deep to make this not just the best iteration of the HR-V yet, but one of the best compact crossovers around.

Is This The Answer To My Mazda CX-5's Battery Woes?


As a motoring journalist, I’m not a shining example when it comes to health. If you want me to come up with high numbers, forget push ups or pull ups; it’s all about weight, blood sugar, or cholesterol instead. With that, I abhor physical tasks, but most especially heavy lifting. This is why I’m irritated each time I have to change the Mazda CX-5’s battery.

Review: 2023 Hyundai Tucson 2.0 GLS


Expectations are a powerful thing. It has this way of re-wiring your brain, and could be enough to swing an opinion on a car from being awesome to just being meh. With its stunning looks and sheer number of international accolades, expectations have been running high on the all-new Tucson, Hyundai’s entry in the ultra-competitive compact SUV segment. Sadly, it is one that does not live up to all the hype.
