I'd pick the jazz coz mas magandang mag setup ng sound system dito. The whole car would be your boom box.

There are pros and cons to using the Jazz as a "blank canvas" for an ICE setup.

You don't need very big subwoofers for the Jazz, I've read even 8" or 10" subs will do nicely (as opposed to the usual 12").

The main challenge is the placement of the amps and subs if you want to retain the Jazz's versatility. You can't put the amp under the front seats (that's taken by the fuel tank) or the rears (you can't fold the seats flat if you do).

What I've seen most people do is have a sub enclosure fabricated to fit the right rear wheelwell to retain the "stock" look; this will do nicely for small subs. The amps are built into a slim enclosure within the rear load floor, just above the spare tire. The top panel is usually made of plexiglass so you can show the amp(s) off, and with cut-out holes for cooling.

Still, if you don't care about load capacity, you can just make a simple bulky box for your sub and be done with it. Your call

Subcompact cars will always "behave" as you described because of its size. ...This goes for the jazz,yariz and picanto.

Not always. The present City and Jazz behave that way because, compared to older cars of the same size, they are TALL. This is how car manufacturers liberate maximum interior space from relatively limited real estate (and I must say Honda did a cracking job as it's still outdoing the Yaris/Vios duo with 6-year-old models).

I used to drive a 1999 City and that was a good deal lower than the present City/Jazz twins, so I had less of a problem with air turbulence or "wash" from trucks and buses.

I've never had hard liquor; I really prefer wine instead.

Not as much of a connoisseur compared to most of you guys, I guess, but I do appreciate a good Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon once in a while

I'm a Pocari Sweat convert.

Compared to Gatorade or other sports drinks, I can literally feel Pocari Sweat working. On our late-night badminton sessions, sometimes I forget to have dinner because I feel full on just two bottles of the stuff. It doesn't matter if you drink it cold or warm---the rehydrating effect is the same.

We usually have steak cooked at home by my dad.

But on the rare occasions that we eat out and look for steak, Tony Roma's serves good ribs, and Outback serves good steak.

Lovers of dark chocolate:

Have you ever tried Meiji's "86% Cocoa" Dark Chocolate? That's just about the darkest chocolate I've ever had. It's so bitter and dark it's like eating the earth. Not one for the casual chocolate lover

You have been warned

Breakfast - Cereal

Lunch - Reheated pancit molo and corned beef with rice

Dinner - Sinigang na manok

My frequent brands:

Lindt

Toblerone (their dark version is great)

Royce (pretty damn good!)

Hershey's Dark

Meiji Black

Tsingtao, San Mig Light, Corona Extra.

Only Tsingtao tastes a little odd out of the three.

You can never go wrong with strawberry ice cream. Dairy Queen's mud pie is pretty good also.

But my personal favorite has to be the Dreyer's original, COOKIES AND CREAM!

Lunch - Sinigang na baka, home cooked.

Dinner - Black pepper chicken cutlet, cooked by Cavana at Trinoma. (One for the spice lovers.)

Singing in front of an appreciative audience. That doesn't happen very often though.

I am a frustrated performer.

Trinoma is a mixed bag for me as of now. As a motorist I cannot accept its ridiculously confusing parking layout and lack of signs. The lineup of stores is nice however.

My melon remains untwisted. I'm still a Glorietta/Greenbelt loyalist.

If you want to test how frugal your car can get, this is the place to go. Smooth, wide-open lanes mean sustaining a constant 100 km/h cruise is no problem on most days. It's actually relaxing to drive there.

This is where I got my personal-best 28 km/L economy figure on my car.

That's only natural. FWD cars have to do two things (accelerating and steering) with one pair of wheels (the front). Hence the RWD purists' claim that the steering of their cars is purer and more natural. That's by design

Mid-engined cars like your Cayman tend to have less tolerance for "stupidity" behind the wheel. While all RWD cars have the tendency to spin out, mid-engined cars will tend to do so faster because all the weight is within the wheelbase and center of rotation/yaw---the reason why the Elise, NSX, Cayman and MR2 are so maneuverable. Such MR cars need quick-acting drivers when pushed to the limits, though, because of their inherent "naughtiness" compared to FRs.

Mind you, there are also understeery FR cars that take a little more effort to get sideways. Most of them are Nissans: the S13 Silvia and the Z33 350Z/Fairlady Z are notable examples. The Mazda RX-8 is another example but that's mainly because its Wankel engine doesn't make enough torque to get its tail out of line.

On the other end of the spectrum are "nervous" FRs like the Honda S2000, which steps into oversteer quicker than most people can avoid slamming a wall against. Committed driving in an S2000 reportedly needs a lot of preparation and practice.

Creative EP-635 in-ear headphones.

Still "burning them in" with a constant supply of music, but they're quite good. Particularly ideal for small digital audio players because of the neckband design.

Another one by Sugar Free:

"Unang Araw"

Sadya ba talagang ganyan?

Palakad-lakad ka't nakatungo

Saan patungo?

Ngayong wala ka na kailangang

Masanay na muling nag-iisa

Sa'n ka na kaya?

Hwag mo akong sisihin

Minsan ika'y hanapin

Ito ang unang araw na wala ka na...

Ito ang unang araw na wala ka na...

Nasanay lang sigurong nandyan ka

Di ko inakalang pwede kang mawala

Ayan na nga

Nababato, nalulungkot

Luha'y napapawi ng singhot

At talukbong ng kumot

Hwag mo akong sisihin

Minsan ako'y iyakin

Ito ang unang araw na wala ka na...

Ito ang unang araw na wala ka na...

Whoa,

Ito ang unang araw na wala ka na...

Sugar Free - "Huling Gabi"

Kapansin-pansin ang 'yong ganda ngayong gabi

At ang lungkot sa iyong mga ngiti

Ang kislap sa iyong mga mata'y wala na

Kita sa 'yong tinging nagsasabing

Tapos na ang lahat sa atin

Ito na ang ating huling gabi

Hagkan natin ang bawat sandaling nalalabi

Ng gabing kailanma'y di malilimutan

Habang mata'y nakapikit, yinakap mo akong mahigpit

Hanggang lumuhang kay pait

Hanggang sa kahuli-hulihang saglit

Kumapit tayong tunay na pagkahigpit-higpit

Hanggang may dumulas, hanggang hindi na kaya

Sino ang unang bumitaw? Sino ang unang bumigay?

Sino ang unang bumitaw? Sino ang unang bumigay?

Ito na ang ating huling gabi

Hagkan natin ang bawat sandaling nalalabi

Ng gabing kailanma'y di malilimutan

Habang mata'y nakapikit, yinakap mo akong mahigpit

Hanggang lumuhang kay pait

Hanggang sa kahuli-hulihang saglit

Hagkan natin ang bawat sandaling nalalabi

Ng gabing kailanma'y di malilimutan

Habang mata'y nakapikit, yinakap mo akong mahigpit

Hanggang lumuhang kay pait

Hanggang sa kahuli-hulihang saglit...

Lungkot 'no?

The main difference is how they behave when you enter a turn too fast.

All other things kept the same, a FWD car will understeer---it will tend to go straight-on instead of continuing into the direction of the turn because the front tires will have lost grip. So you will either have to apply more steering lock or gently let go of the gas to correct its line.

A RWD car will tend to oversteer. The tail of the car will step out of line due to lack of grip at the rear, and you will have to counter-steer (steer away from the turn) to correct its line. Such counter-steering is an integral part of drifting.

How gradually/sudden the lack of grip occurs is influenced by a number of things: engine placement (front, amidships or rear?), engine characteristics, transmission gearing and chassis tuning.

Which one is better? Let's be honest, not many of us can afford RWD performance cars unless you count in Revos, Innovas and other diesel-powered trucks and vans. In terms of space, FWD cars have an advantage, and they can also be driven competitively as long as you understand what happens when you lose traction and what you have to do.

RWD cars have their merits but they're not without sacrifices. Owners of the BMW 3-series will know rear legroom has always been a problem. Hey, the rear differential, half-shafts and driveshaft have to go somewhere.

My advice is not to go anywhere on a Saturday afternoon or night, because you're sharing the road with a LOT of people. If you've got to go somewhere on a Saturday, leave very early---11am at the latest.

Going anywhere? Leave on a Sunday. Odds are it's the best day of the week to drive, if you avoid churches at mass hours.

have you ever tried filling up your tanks late at night, early in the morning, or on cold weather? Mas marami daw na makukuhang gas pag malamig panahon..have'nt tried it yet coz i usually gas up pag may araw na..laging inaabutan..hehe

I do this, although I never bothered to check the fuel volume difference between a "hot" fillup and a "cold" one. I fill up on the way home from work.

The principle is the fuel is denser at "cold" times like the ones you mentioned. It's not the liquid component of gasoline that's responsible for your car running, it's the vapor. The gasoline vapor supposedly evaporates at a faster rate when the sun is out.
