most comfortable ride among current pick ups but shocks have difficulty at above 140kph

Last May, my friends and I headed for Subic riding my Toyota Innova. I was able to cruise thru NLEX without being apprehended with the speedometer playing between 100-140kph. Come along SCTEX, nanggigil talaga ako thinking that since I got away from going beyond the speed limit along NLEX there shouldn't be a problem in SCTEX. Sino bang hindi matetempt maghataw sa SCTEX eh ang lapad at ang patag ng daan. Needless to say there is a significant drop in the volume of cars around. You might even find yourself cruising within 2-5 kms stretch without any cars in sight. To make the long story short, I think I was able to make my Innova reach 170kph without any problem (I know I could've drove faster since I wasn't even flooring the accelerator. The steering wheel just gets pretty "shakey" at this point as if the car's telling you it isn't built for performance and drove at this speed). Come the entry toll way in Subic, I was apprehended and told that I was detected by the radar reaching 147 kph. I tried to "bribe the officer but they stood firm. I even called a key person in LTO to help me but without luck my driver's license was still confiscated. Although I was able to use the help of my friend to eliminate the "seminar," I still had to settle a total fine of P2,500. On our way home I sticked to the speed limit and guess what, total travel time didnt vary very much from the previous trip to Subic. I learned my lesson the expensive way. Hope this experience may enlighten other drivers out there.

Ang mahal naqman fine mo P2,500. yung sa driver ko nahuli sya 145 kph daw la din seminar. Nilakad ko P1,500 lang

actually, benz ngayon madami problema. sa u.s, toyota na number one. at nasa top 3 in terms of reliability. so tama, malas na lang kung lemon ang nakuha mo. pero dapat under warranty yan, minsan yun dealer pinapahirapan customer nila.

 

one time bumili kia carnival kaibigan ko. lemon nakuha nila. every week for the first month meron bagong sira nakikita. sinubukan ayusin naman ng dealer nila pero palpak pa din. nagsawa na at nagalit yun dad ng friend ko so nagreklamo mismo sa kia head office. in the end, pinalitan buong car nila kahit 2-3 month used na. ok naman yun replaement car. meron na lang problem sa aircon pero naayos naman.

The problem is magkaiba ang model line up sa states saka dito sa pinas. sa states magaganda models nilalabas nila kasi the gov't protects the consumers. e dito di lahat ng models maganda. madami din me problema. mas safe cguro kung yung model na pipiliin mo is sold globally. By the way, I drive a toyota. but its a model sold globally. ok reliability pero performance has a lot of room for improvement. small things na dapat naperfect nila like weaker brakes when compared to other similar model and the transmission is not smooth and slow. kaya siguro na ngkaroon ng reputation toyota na reliable but boring

hey everyone.

pwede ba to sa old engines. late 80'spwede ba to sa old engines. late 80's

yup pag gimik sa smallville or sa Sarabia. Sa hotel, the best service and cleanest I tried is the 1 in front of Gaisano City. Best value for Money. But it doesnt have a lot of rooms.

No, that's NOT Angus beef. Never has been, and probably never will be.

 

I believe that great steak starts at home. Melo's, Outback, etc., are overpriced, and places like Everything at Steak, Steak M.D., etc., simply pound their beef into oblivion to create the illusion of a decent sized "steak". Buy and cook your own.

yup basta angus kahit sa bahay lang masarap

how about aratilis?
