  1. It's it's a real date, a simple kiss on the cheek or beso-beso can mean that she had a good time and/or as a thank you for your time --- even if she's not interested in you.

     

    If there is none --- no offense taken --- some women are not comfortable with that.

  2. motoring gurus puede mag tanong po.

     

    whats the cheapest brand new car in the market now. my wife would like to avail carplan in her work. tanong nya sa akin meron pa ba brand new car na nasa 300 to 400 k bracket

    thanks

     

    You can choose between the Kia Picanto and Hyundai Getz. Both are priced at 400K+ and are good buys in my book. Personally, I'd go for the Getz as it has a better executed exterior.

     

    Though if you want a really, really cheapo car, there's the Geely 1.0, priced at 350K+ but is not worth it (you'd be better off buying a 2nd hand car - the interior and exterior just screams EL CHEAPO).

  3. Test driven both the Accord & Mazda6 2.3L.

     

    In my opinion, the Mazda6 2.3L is a better car overall. Lots of goodies to play with (HID, sunroof, etc.). Ride is quite good for something with 17" low-profile tires. Handling is superb - almost at par with European sedans and way above other Japanese sedans.

  4. Gen2 Rav4 2.0L: 180kph @ NLEX (just after the Shell Station).

     

    Pero sa tingin ko kaya pa. Kaso hanggang 180kph lang ang rating ng H/T tires ko, mahirap na at baka sumabog pa.

     

    Minsan kapag may mga gagong driver (lalo na PUV), singit nang singit kapag medyo marami ang sasakyan, sinusundan ko. Then kapag open highway na, dun na nagkaka alaman. Isasagad nila hanggang 120kph, tapos ala nang mabuga.

     

    Wag lang sana ako makasabay ng Ferrari. Hehe.

  5. Do they have a local site where we can check out its feature ? Seems to be a big jump in the price if the difference is just one airbag in the passenger side between the V and the S.

     

    here's the diff betweent the V & the S

     

    passenger's airbag

    abs

    ebd + brake assist

    fog lamps

    top bar of the radiator grill is colored

    2-tone fabric seats

    6-speaker system

    steering-wheel audio controls

     

    i think that the 60K diff is well worth it (the additional airbag, abs & ebd alone is worth paying for that).

  6. yup i agree. unleaded is the cheapest and slowest to burn. But based on fuel consumption and overall cost saving, the premium level (95 RON) is still the most efficient. this is based on the testimonials and actions of friends, relatives, and customers who have switched from unleaded to the more premium type.  :P

     

    a common misconception (due to the marketing hype about premium gasoline).

     

    only use premium or high-octane gasoline if you car requires it. only vehicles with high-compression engine (like the CR-V) requires it since it will stave off engine knocking. check your user's manual. but most run-of-the-mill engines can live on 89 octane gasoline.

     

    using of low-octane gasoline will only lead to poor fuel economy when used on high-comp engines since the spark advance will be retarded (thus lowering fuel economy).

     

    want to verify this? type "low octane fuel economy" in google. i don't think those "testimonials" qualify as such to verify your claim.

  7. Mazda6?

     

    Was able to test drive one. The handling and braking is just superb! Is almost at par with the bmw e46. Though the engine paired with it (at least here) leaves much to be desired. Yes, it'll get you from point a to b, but it looks the oomph to overtake confidently.

     

    Though I've read somewhere that the 2.3L version would come out later this year. A MPS version (awd, 280hp turbocharged engine) is also due to be released soon (though not locally).
