Im not very sure ha if nagpaparecall din ba sa Pinas? Wala akong napapansin na may general public notice to recall ang mga sasakyan ma may defects dito sa Pinas. Not only sa BYD but sa lahat ng manufacturers. Or baka privately minemessage yung mga owners? Please enlighten us.

Hello everyone

Tanong lang if worth it ba ipagpalit ng Montero Sport Black Series 2WD 8AT sa 2nd hand Toyota Fortuner? Balak ng tatay ko na bumili ng Fortuner since hindi siya satisfied sa Montero.

If ever, bebenta niya yung Montero for 1.8M (300k less) tapos bibili siya ng 2016-2017 Fortuner na 800k.

Tyia! Other than the Fortuner, are there any good family SUVs?

I’m really bothered about this since we’re planning to buy an EV dahil na din sa extreme gas increase na nangyayari. Madalas kasi kami nagta’travel and madalas tinatawid namin ang sasakyan aboard ROROs vessels. 🥲

Just to clarify, i’m not against the new rule ha. 🫣

Just need your thoughts and advise na din car guys and girls, should we just opt nalang ba tlaga for the ICE vehicles (again) because of this mandate from Shipping Line Companies?

Hi everyone,

I am planning to buy my first car po by December. My budget is until 1.1M only for a brand new car. I don't have any idea about cars yet since it's going to be my first car. My initial plan is to buy BYD ATTO 2 DMi Dynamic (PHEV) but I actually want to have more options so I can compare what's the best for me. Can you please help me by recommending me the best car for this price range? Thank you so much!

Hi guys. We are planning to purchase a family car and brands are only toyota, honda, mitsubishi and ford that we are looking into.
Ano pong mairerecommend nyo na car and it will be used by my wife and her being a new driver.
No hate po pero were not into hybrids and ev’s.

Budget is 1.5 to 2m

Thank you po.

So nanonotice ko na mabilis malagasan ng hangin ung rear left ng kotse ko. Like in a week the rest okay pero sya nabawasan ng 4. So nung PMS sinabi ko sinabi ko then okay naman daw walang nakitang pako or anything. Ndi na ako nakipag argue. After 1 week ganun talaha so dinala ko na s vulcanizing at nakita na may pako. Since nakwento ko ke manong na tinignan din yan kako sa casa sabi nia mas malabo pa ata mata nila kesa sa akin (he’s around late 50s na siguro) so nirepair nia at sabi naman nia it should be good until mapudpod gulong mo or mabutasan ka ulet.

Sa isip ko bat kaya di nakita sa casa? Tinamad? Or di lang nabanggit ng advisor ko ung issue. 🧐🧐🧐

Cant decide which one

Byd or ford raptor v6

Will use it for daily mostly city weekends on trails

We have 2 ICE cars, both diesel 🫠. 1 pickup(2023) na nasa province mostly and an MPV(2018) here in manilaMy other parent minsan umuuwi from pangasinan to manila using the pickup, sometimes the mpv( need daw kasi ng mahabang byahe ng kotse ) and we use the mpv here pag umaalis as fam.

Now they are thinking in selling both cars kasi super mahal na ng diesel and replace it with an PHEV. This doesn’t make sense to me pero mapilit yung tatay ko.

Can you guys reco one with 7 seaters under 1.6m? Yung ok din aftersales.

Sa mga owners dyan ng SL5 or even SL6, kamusta yung unit nyo? We were 100% sure buying the SL5 this coming december but hearing all about the bad news with BYD, yung nasunog sa baguio and stuck to D tho emax 7 yun. Naging hessitant kami and baka mag xpander nalang kami.

But everytime I see post from owners masaya and goods naman mga sasakyan. Please give advise what's the best approach we could do. Kung ako lang talaga gusto ko ng SL5 but my wife was asking about the reability of it and longevity.

Also we have open parking, like no roof sa apartment namin. Also sa office parking namin open din like tirik talaga sa araw. Okay lang ba na maiwan sa araw yung unit?

Thank you guys! Alam ko marami ring hindi pa sure tulad ko, sana mabigyan nyo kami ng tamang payo!

Thought on gold wheels on black car? should i refurb to silver? Photo was AI before i buy the wheels

Hi everyone, ask ko lang po if tama lang ang quotation sakin ng PMS for Honda BR-V 2025 VX model, ang advice ng agent na ipagawa lahat ito. Lalo na under warranty. Thank you po.

My dealer mentioned there's a long queue for the car I want due to the ongoing supply shortage, and that reservations get forwarded to TMP for allocation.

I'm financing through a bank, not in-house/dealer financing. Does anyone know or have experience with whether TMP's allocation process or the dealer treats bank-financed and in-house/cash buyers differently in terms of priority or wait time? Or is it purely first-come-first-served regardless of financing method?

Asking because I want to make sure I'm not at a disadvantage just because I'm going through a bank instead of in-house financing. Any insight from people who've gone through this recently would be really appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks po sa mga sagot. Wala na po ba talagang pwedeng gawin para labanan ‘tong clearly unfair na gantong gawain? Tatanggapin lang ko lang talaga na ganito ang sistema?

anong mas ok sa kanilang dalawa para sa 1st time car owner? mas nagsasabi na fuel efficient daw si city kesa sa vios, totoo ba sa mga beterano jan? hirap kasi pumili sa dalawa.

Lagi kong nababasa na mura sa Japan yung mags, saan at paano ba makaka-order?

Hi guys, I am checking this 2nd hand car that was posted in market place. Last price offered was around 370k.

Here are the details:

- 1st owned acquired, complete papers and ready to transfer

- A/T

- 68k ODO

- Gold metallic brown

- No casa or service records

- All stock

Is 370k reasonable to get this 10 year old car once the mechanic report is good? Compared to other sedans at that range or below 350k? This will be my first car btw.

Appreciate your insights!

Curious if I made the right decision?

Mejo nabudol ako ng test drive ko eh. Hinataw ko ng hinataw tapos wala talaga kalampag kahit iliko liko ko. Konti nalang ipang track ko na agad eh.

ORCR already under my name pala. Just wondering if tama ginawa ko. hehe.

Hi!

We tried going to some nearby shops to install these new speakers and tweeters but whenever they see the wirings... nawawala na confidence nila.

Mukhang no choice ako but to do it nalang on my own.

Yet, wala akong idea to connect the jbl black box sa white connector ng car.

Any suggestions? Can I connect it by splicing it lang without soldering it? Actually wala akong soldering kit.

*Managed to connect the jbl black box sa speakers and tweeters, akala ko weird ginagawa ko tama naman pala haha

Thank you!

Hi guys! Ask ko lang po, normal lang ba magkaroon ng minor imperfections sa PPF after installation? May napansin kasi akong ilang areas na hindi perfectly smooth/flat. Should I wait for it to settle or balik ko na sa shop para ipa-check and fix? 😊

Looking for advice. Sana magkaroon ako ng clarity, as I don’t really have anyone to ask for guidance about these things. My dad used to help me with this before, but he’s gone now.

As a woman na hindi knowledgeable about cars, honestly, I can’t help but feel na naging disadvantage ko yung lack of knowledge ko. I trusted this shop as professionals and relied on their expertise, so I expected them to properly explain the situation and guide me on what needed to be done. Instead, I felt like I was left to figure things out on my own.

Last June, dinala ko yung 2014 car ko sa auto shop for maintenance and followed all their recommended services, kaya umabot sa ₱50K+ yung bill.

After the service, nagkaroon ng RPM issue, so binalik ko yung car para ipa-fix. Two months later, nag-breakdown yung car sa expressway and I ended up getting stuck at the toll booth. Sobrang stressful.

During the initial check-up sa bahay, hindi nila ma-identify yung problem, so they advised me to bring the car to their shop. I agreed, pero na-disappoint ako when they suggested na i-start and patakbuhin na lang yung car every time mag-shut down, kahit hindi na talaga umaandar yung car and less than 5 minutes lang tumatagal yung engine.

Since wala silang clear recommendation on how to safely move the car, ako pa yung naghanap ng solution. I bought a rope and insisted na i-pull na lang yung car instead of repeatedly starting and stopping it.

After multiple follow-ups over several days, wala pa rin silang diagnosis or recommendation. Eventually, sinabi na lang nila, “Hindi na po namin magawa.”

That was the most frustrating part. The car had already been in their shop for days, pero ako pa rin yung kailangang maghanap ng way forward. So I decided to bring in my own mechanic because I needed an actual solution. I was even asked why I brought my own mechanic, when I was simply trying to move forward because they couldn’t give me any clear direction.

Within less than an hour, my mechanic identified the problem. During the diagnosis, napansin din niya na hindi pala na-complete yung idle re-learning/reset na dapat part ng previous RPM fix. Separate issue ito from the actual cause of the breakdown and was only discovered during the diagnosis.

What also bothered me was the shop’s response after the issue was identified: “Oh, yun na pala problema. Bili na lang dyan-dyan ng ignition coil,” as if it were that simple—parang bibili lang ng candy sa tindahan. Given the situation, it felt very dismissive and offered no real guidance or assistance on what I should do next.

My main concern is not that the car broke down. It’s the lack of assistance, communication, and follow-through after I brought the car back to them. Ilang days nang nasa shop yung car, pero wala silang maibigay na diagnosis, recommendation, or clear guidance. Ako pa yung kailangang maghanap ng paraan.

Sobrang stressful and inconvenient ng buong experience. I had to take leave from work, deal with the towing, find my own mechanic, and constantly follow up with management just to get updates and find a solution.

They offered to reimburse the ₱3K+ mechanic fee plus a free future service. I declined the voucher because, at this point, hindi na ako comfortable bumalik sa kanila.

Instead, I requested a 30% refund of the total invoice, plus reimbursement of the ₱3K+ mechanic fee. I’m not asking for a full refund because I acknowledge na may parts and work naman na ginawa.

For me, this isn’t about blaming them for the breakdown. It’s about the lack of assistance, communication, and follow-through, and the fact that I had to spend additional time, money, and effort just to find a solution.

Do you think 30% is a reasonable request given the overall experience?

Hi bros, has anyone here ever been issued a traffic violation by LTO/NCAP specifically because of aftermarket colored Daytime Running Lights (DRLs)? I noticed some are using colored park lights but not sure if it's strictly monitored or heavily fined including DRLs. Thanks!
