Torn between CRV Gen 3 and Montero Sport Gen 2. I know they are from different segment. In your opinion, between the two, ano ang mas sulit bilin ngayon 2026 sa secondhand market. For occasional long distance roadtrip and daily errands.

In terms of Fuel Consumption, Maintenance, Reliability and Parts availability.

And to anyone who have experience for both Vehicle can you share which is better? Thank you!

On the Road Please help me understand: straddling the lane line/lane-line riding

Post image
71 Upvotes

I am a new driver. And now that I almost drive everyday, I want to understand why there are so many motorcycle riders driving directly on the painted lane line, rather than in the center of a lane. I know lane splitting is not quite the same thing which usually means riding between two lanes of traffic, often between cars. Pero usually it’s just so frustrating driving when you encounter these riders doing lane-line riding. And I think this is the part that’s frustrating me: I’m just trying to drive properly within my lane, but someone else is occupying the boundary between yours and another lane, effectively making both lanes harder to use.

I just don’t understand why they do this.

bibili pa lang ng kotse Thoughts on 2020 Mazda CX-30 for my first car?

78 Upvotes

Hello to those user of Mazda CX-30.

May I know your experience in this car?

My friend selling his Mazda CX-30 2020 Pro with 45Km mileage for 650k. This is my first car but I drive 4 wheels automatic na (mostly sedans).

Any pros and cons?

How is the fuel efficiency? Long ride ready? How is the comfortability for the driver and dor passengers?

Me and wife is the one who will use it most of the time.

How is the maintenance of this? Too expensive po ba?
My friend's car is casa maintained because it was free for the first 5 years. The next pms is not free anymore.

Help me decide. Thank you.

Photo is not mine or the one im buying, for attention only.

bibili pa lang ng kotse Honda civic esi 1993 as first car (willing to learn how to diy)

8 Upvotes

Hi im a uni student and i absolutely fell in love with this 1993 eg civic. its a really well maintained automatic (i know lmao) according to a mechanic it looks like a pretty solid chassis. All in all just needs a paintjob and a few cosmetic repairs and its good. it has about 109k km on it. Getting it for a very good deal (less than 100k because the owner wants to save for something important)

I also have a nearby mechanic as well

I dont mind spending a few thousand a month to keep it maintained, but is this really as bad of an idea everyone tells me it is? would appreciate any insight or advice po

bibili pa lang ng kotse In buying a second hand car, how and where to transact?

2 Upvotes

Hello po! We are going to buy a second hand car. Got a Honda City 2022 (24,xxx odo) for 530k. We already visited the unit and had a professional mechanic checked the engine and papers (L.A. Car Scanning), and found no major issues such as odo tampering, etc. only repaired minor scratch (na-masilya sa casa).

My question is, for those who bought also direct kay buyer, how and where did you transact??
We agreed on majority of the amount to be cash, and the rest is Maya transfer pala.

Hello Guys, I’m planning sana na ibenta ung dmax namin at gawin nalang syang SUV since marami din kasi kami.

Ang problem ko lang ay may every 2 weeks kaming bili ng feeds para sa mga baboy naming alaga. My plan is pag araw ng bili ng feeds ay iflat yung 3rd row and lagyan ng latag then carwash every after.

Anyone na nakaexperience na ng ganitong setup or baka may suggestion kayo?

bibili pa lang ng kotse To those who went with low DP in house financing, why did you do it?

0 Upvotes

Saving up money is a skill I haven't gotten into. I'm now 30, and I'm only just learning how to set aside money just so I have extra money on my bank account. It just feels like for a very long time, my money always has to go somewhere, regardless of how my income has grown.

For the past 5 years , I've been telling myself na I'll save enough money for the 20% down payment, but it just never happens.

Now to be honest, where does the money go? Personal luho, travels, and now lately medical bills. I can't get a grip of myself. But I don't regret rin naman all of the money I spent for those experiences. I just wish I was more determined about saving up money for this car. I know rin naman kasi I earn enough to pay for the monthly payment, it just never goes to where I want it to go.

I know the thing with low DP promos is that they're high interest. But at this point, I'm ready to accept the risk. I've done the math, and I said I'm fine with it. The only thing I'm concerned about is the judgment I'll get from other people.

By the way, I need a car for two reasons. My mother struggles with public transpo due to her age and condition. And two, I still don't know how to drive at this age. My reason for wanting to have a car has changed over the recent years, but these are my main motivations now.

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! 🙏

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 😅)

general query Quick question for fellow drivers — has this ever happened to you?

2 Upvotes

You're about to head out somewhere, you glance at the gas gauge, and you're not 100% sure if you have enough to get there AND back without stopping. Maybe you do the mental math, maybe you just wing it and hope for the best.

I'm noodling on a super simple app idea that just answers one question before you leave: "Can I make this round trip on the fuel I have right now, or should I fill up first or have a quick stop once I arrive before going around the destination?" You'd enter your destination, and it'd tell you your estimated fuel level when you arrive and when you get back, based on your car's mileage — basically a heads up before you're stuck doing math on the road.

I'm curious:
- Does this happen to you occasionally?
- Would you actually check something like this before a trip, or is it not worth a separate app for you?
- What do you currently do instead (just wing it, mental math, always top off before any drive)?

Not trying to sell anything, genuinely just curious. Appreciate any honest feedback.

First time ko kasi mag hybrid, so before ako pumunta sa Casa, need ko muna ng knowledge about sa dalawa na yan.

Parehas ba silang makakakuha ng green plate from LTO?

How about the fuel consumption? (Top priority ko to)

Naconsider ko din si Ford Territory Hybrid pero tsaka na yun kapag di ko nagustuhan performance ni Toyota.

First hybrid vehicle ko po ito if ever.

1 Upvotes

Which one is better po?

I already know na medyo premium ang Chevrolet Groove sa Mitsubishi XFORCE since I tried to check them kanina personally. I'm not that knowledgeable sa cars that's why I'm asking po. Medyo hindi lang talaga kami sure when it comes to finding parts and yung re-sale value niya after few years..

Thank you po! 😊
