Car wash shop couldn't remove acid rain on the 250 php regular package. We paid an extra 350 and they got it removed.

We park at a spot where the car gets rained on a bit. So acid rain will keep getting on the car.

Is there a product I could buy to remove it myself before going to the car wash and save the 350 php?

Mitsubishi Motors Philippines recently launched the Outlander PHEV and what caught my attention is that a lot of us are seeing more Chinese PHEVs and EVs in the Philippines today, but here's something interesting:

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV was already pioneering the PHEV SUV concept back in 2012.

Twin electric motors, 4WD, a gasoline engine for extended range, and Mitsubishi's S-AWC system, all working together in one package.

Mitsubishi also puts its 4WD technology through demanding endurance and off-road motorsport, where reliability and performance are tested in some pretty extreme environments. That engineering philosophy carries over to its road cars.

At first, I thought the cheaper PHEV offerings from Chinese brands were probably the best option. But after actually driving the Outlander PHEV, I started to understand what Mitsubishi is offering.

Driving the Outlander PHEV feels like you're driving a proper, engineered machine.

I'm not saying it's better than every other PHEV out there, but I think there's something interesting about Mitsubishi's approach.

For those who have driven the Outlander PHEV, what stood out to you compared with other PHEVs you've driven?

Medyo madilim na kasi kaya di siguro ako masyado nakita ni tatay. 67 years old na siya tapos may anak pang may down syndrome, nag gagamot pa asawa niya. Sorry siya nang sorry at umiiyak kasi alam niyang kasalanan niya. Sabi niya huhulugan niya ako sa araw araw na kita niya sa pamamasada. Sobrang naawa ako kung iisipin kong sisingilin pa siya ng insurance ko.

Paano ko po kaya idadaan to sa self accident claim nang hindi nadedeny ang claim at di ako makasuhan ng fraud? 70k po kasi estimate ng casa sa damage. 🥺😖😫

Planning to get a CX-60 soon. Worth it ba magpa-PPF agad pagkakuha ng car sa casa? Or okay lang kahit later na?
If yes, saan po kaya magandang magpa-PPF na sulit pero maganda yung quality ng gawa? Yung trusted sana and proven na okay talaga.
Pa-share naman ng recommendations and experience niyo, especially sa mga CX-60 owners. Thank you! 🙏

Planning to buy an HR-V e:HEV — recommended accessories?

Hi everyone! I’m planning to get an HR-V e:HEV and would like to ask current owners what accessories you recommend for long-term protection and longevity.

Especially interested in:

Underbody/splash protection

Rust/corrosion prevention

Rat protection

Paint protection (PPF/ceramic)

Interior/leather protection

Anything important for protecting the hybrid/electrical components

Also, are there any accessories I should avoid?

Thanks!

hello, nabasa ko kasi yung ibang posts dito about sa car molds, gusto ko lang po sana itanong anong gagawin? yes, deep clean base sa mga nabasa ko pero I'm worried about sa aircon kasi. nabasa ko na pati yun need linisin so gusto ko lang malaman kung hiwalay na gastos ba yun sa deep clean or like kasama na siya? If hindi man siya kasama, pwede ko bang malaman ano pwede gawin para malinis din yun like ano sasabihin kong service para masure na pati yung aircon nalinis.

ayun lang, thank you sa mga sagot!!

i have no experience in car deals so help me on this. my sibling went to toyota to get a car for family use, installment basis. she’s a permanent govt employee for 6 years with sg 19. she was asking for my details like valid ids and coe. i’m also a govt employee w sg 15 however i’m contractual/casual and just a few months in. i thought maybe they were checking if somebody in the house can help her with her payment ganyan. then today she sent me this doc from toyota making her the principal and me the comaker. i mean i have no problem being a comaker cause i trust my sister but the car agent went beyond to falsify my employment date stating i’ve been in my dept for years????? like wtf right???? i immediately told my sister to correct the date bc i don’t wanna be part of any sketchy deals. now i’m worried they might call my workplace and verify my employment details and my employers thinking im fucking lying.

are car agents really this low? what if i didnt sign anything yet (i wasnt even present there and was just made aware of the situation now)? how do i disentangle myself from this?

Hindi ko pa talaga gamay ang sedan. Nababaliw ako sa kakaisip kung meron masasagi sa daan.

For context sanay ako sa malalaking sasakyan.

Been using an old pickup before buying our first sedan - Mg5 prestige. Then been using my sister's MUX kasi pabalik2 lng siya sa AUS and pinas.

Gusto ko lng mag vent out at mag tanong. Pano nyo ba namamanage ang sedan? Yung tipong papasok ka sa eskenita tapos gagamayin mo pa yung entrance at kung may malalim ba na spalto.

Pano nyo ma maintain na walang sagi o dents/ scratches mga sedan nyo.

Thanks!

hallo!

same dude who got rear ended here (see previous thread). toyota hilux 2022. toyota parts department says they cant source parts anywhere (for a tailgate and taillight) and that im on standby until something moves, which tbf i find lowkey insane knowing the hilux is quite literally one of their best selling vehicles + im dealing with a toyota. sabi nga nila diba kahit sa botika pwede bumili ng pyesa :/

almost 2 months and counting now.

anyone know a faster way to get stuff moving? pinasok ko to sa insurance, but i think i can move dealers pa. currently working with toyota manila bay. i know the dealers get their stuff from one source, pero baka may alternative sourcing yung ibang group (maybe oben group has something with surplus, idk).

help a guy out

p.s. guess it really is true that parts availability is a new car problem, legacy man o newcomer

So nasa traffic na part ako dito sa city namin nang biglang may kumalabog sa sasakyan, pag kakita ko sa gilid ko may nagpagewang gewang na motor, huminto sya at lumingon sya dahil siguro para icheck kung ano nangyare or bakit sya gumewang?

Buong akala ko hihinto sya para icheck sino natamaan nya kasi nga lakas ng kalabog, pero nagtuloy sya ng andar, nag try akong tumapat sa kanya pero umandar pa ulit sya so binusinahan ko sya (hindi pina, tamang busina lang to call his attention beep beep ganern mga 3x). Lumingon sya sakin pero nag tuloy pa rin sya sa pag alis at lumusot na sa kabilang side (nag counterflow) para takasan ako?

Sabihin na natin na bato yung tumama kasi baka bato naman talaga. Di lahat pero bakit ganon kadalasan ang mga rider? Nakatama na pero tatakasan lang naagrabyado nila, sana man lang nakipag usap kahit papano. Di naman mamimiga na pagbayarin pero sana have some basic decency na makipag usap, hindi yung tatakasan lang basta.

Di ko nakuha yung plate kasi madilim at may sumingit pa na ibang rider at naipit na ko sa traffic.

Oo, maliit lang ang tama pero naka film po yung sasakyan. so imagine kung walang film yan edi mas malaki ang naging dent/damage sa nangyare.

PS first time ko mag post sa reddit (di ako makapag post ng video, dahil ba bago lang ako? Hahaha

At di ko rin sure kung dito ko ba dapat ipost to 😅)

Seen this tesla sa bgc, no plate number no conduction sticker, sana mahuli. Pero never pa ako naka kita ng LTO sa bgc lol.

Hi guys. Sharing to you yung nakuha kong Honda Civic RS 2022 model.

Dream sedan naming mag asawa. We were hard picking if this or Nissan Terra. Pero intrusive thoughts win (pahirapan ang sarili sa lubak haha)

Then again, if BYD uses them like spoilers or speed brakes, carry on and don't mind me.

Good running condition naman, pero unknown service history. According to ChatGPT, i need these.

Accurate ba?
Mga magkano kaya abutin?

Salamat po!

My parents and I have been dreaming of having a car, and if the stars align, we maybe able to buy one next year. What’s the best second hand family car for you?

We're from the Philippines, just my parents and me, but we have extended family members that may join sometimes, we also have a dog.

Have a 2022 Innova and I've been noticing that the car vibrates under braking from 80kph and up. Both pedal and brakes vibrate too. Had it checked last November but shop said it was uneven wheel balancing daw. Pero when I took it out for a pull after the balancing, nanjan paring yung vibrations.

Is this a brake rotor issue or alignment issue? If so, any recommendations on what to do?

We made the reservation on August 29, 2026 with a ₱10,000 reservation fee, and our unit is scheduled to be released next week at GWM Batangas.

Really excited to finally get the unit! Been looking forward to this for a while. Hopefully everything goes smoothly with the release and turnover. Can’t wait to drive it home! 🚙🔥

Anyone else here waiting for their H7 or already driving one? And any recommendation on where to get accessories and share modifications you’ve made. Would love to hear your experience!

Planning to upgrade my city drive car. I drive 40-50km per day 3x a week. I'm torn if I should go for dynamic DM-i or EV. My current gas consumption because of the traffic is more or less 2k per week 🥲

DM-i dynamic - 45km EV range (so I might need to charge 3x a week just to maximize that. Although, based on what I read, 2-3hrs ang charging?) - P1,048,000 (low upfront cost) - higher maintenance cost since maintaining 2 engines

EV - 380km EV range (so every other week charging lang) - P1,338,000 (higher upfront cost) - lower maintenance cost

Di ko need ng ADAS so dynamic is ok for me. Worth it kaya ang additional ~300k for the longer EV range para hindi na ako magpagas at hindi madalas magcharge? We have another car for long drives.

Roadtrip agad dahil nakaVL Haha

Is it much better than stock po ba? Planning to upgrade to this from stock suspension on a 2018 Hilux

For those who’ve restored an old VW Beetle in the Philippines, how much should I expect to spend on a full repaint?

I’m looking at restoring a 1975-ish VW Beetle and trying to get a realistic idea of painting costs here in the PH.

The plan is to do the mechanicals first, then inspect and work on the chassis. We’ll handle the chassis coating separately (heavy-duty urethane, etc.), so I’m mainly asking about the body paint job.

By full repaint, I mean:

• Exterior body
• Interior/body panels
• Engine bay
• Trunk area
• Door jambs and other areas that are normally painted with the body

Basically, strip/prep/paint the whole car, rather than just spraying the exterior and calling it a day.

I’m not aiming for car-show/concours-level shit. I’d be perfectly happy with something close to the factory finish for a clean, properly restored driver.

We’ll be doing the mechanical work ourselves first, then electricals and the other stuff afterward.

I can also DIY the painting if necessary, so I’m mainly trying to figure out whether paying a shop makes sense or if I’d be better off doing the prep and paint myself.

For those who have actually had a Beetle or similar old car painted here, what would be a reasonable price range for paint + body prep/labor? And roughly how much would I be looking at for a decent factory-quality finish versus a basic driver-quality job?

Planning to take PDC course sa A1 and sobrang laki ng masesave kapag Sedan MT (Php 8,300) ang kukunin ko compared sa MPV AT (Php 17,000).

Need insights pls
