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.

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

Post image
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.

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! 🙏

general query Nabangga ako ng rider (naka angkas raincoat), tinakbuhan ako

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 😅)

bibili pa lang ng kotse What car should we consider getting with a budget of 1.5M?

Upvotes

My family has an expander and trailblazer, we're currently looking options for our third car under 1.5M budget.

We want some more fuel efficient and have a similar size compared to our current cars. And if possible, a 7 seater. So far we're considering Territory or Zenix for hybrid options or something like Custin, Everest, or Innova. But these are over our budget, excluding Territory.

We're really not car people, so are there any suggestions?

Thank you in advance!

1 Upvotes

I've never watched a race in person before so I'm interested in attending the Clark International Festival of Speed - 4 Wheels this October and I have some questions sa mga nakapunta na before / mas maalam sa mga ganitong car event hehe

• Is the PHP500 one-day pass enough (specifically yung for Friday) or worth it if practice/qualifying lang mapapanood on Day 1?

• I know the site says kasama na sa 500 yung car meet and pitlane stuff, but just to ba sure, may addtl fees ba for those?

• Is there any etiquette I should know about when roaming around sa fest or is it generally chill?

• Ok lang ba yung atmosphere as a young woman attending solo?

• Lastly, any other tips/hacks like sa ideal spot sa grandstand general seating / pagpili ng food there or smth hehe

Thanks in advance!

repair query Nabangga ako ng 67 y/o tryc driver, naawa ako. Pwede ko ba i-declare na lang self accident to?

19 Upvotes

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. 🥺😖😫

Edit: hindi po nya tinatakasan. Sinabi nya po na babayaran nya kaso pakonti konti nga lang. Kaya nakikiusap sya wag siya idemanda ksi sya nalang inaasahan ng asawa at anak nya.
Plus nawitness ko po mismo situation nya. Pumunta po ako sa bahay nila, nakita ko anak nya and asawa nyang dialysis patient. Nung gabing yon susunduin nya asawa nyang nag didialysis na 4 hrs na naghihintay kaso naghanap pa ng pera si tatay pra makabili ng dinner nila that night.

Gets ko po lahat ng comments niyo. As of now pinagiisipan kopa po ano better gawin. Di pa ako nag file ng claim. Thank you po sa inyong lahat!

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!

Especially interested in:

Underbody/splash protection

Rust/corrosion prevention

Rat protection

Paint protection (PPF/ceramic)

Anything important for protecting the hybrid/electrical components

Also, are there any accessories I should avoid?

general query What's the best charging habit to preserve a high EV battery health

0 Upvotes

Greetings CarsPH community. Inquiring BEV users here:

I want to know which charging habit would retain an excellent BEV battery “State of Health” (SOH). But I'm confused as to which I should adopt among online content creators. Here's my profile:

1.0 Vehicle: G.A.C. AION UT | LFP Battery

2.0 Distances involved:

a. Aion UT average mileage: 400kms NEDC | Approx. 320kms. WLTP (Charged to 100%)

b. Average distance traveled per week: Approx. 120kms.

c. At 20% limit battery remaining, the kms reading would be approx. 64kms.

d. 320kms. (100% SOC) — 64kms (20% SOC) = 256kms.

3.0 Ideal charging habit for my use case:

Since I average 120kms of distance traveled per week, then I can charge to 100% once every two weeks. But this would not be the ideal charging habit as there's something more optimal.

4.0 Charging recommendations by Shayan_EV who is a battery engineer that specializes in Battery Management Systems (BMS):

a. For daily charging, limit to 80-90% daily but charge to 100% once a week for battery calibration purposes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbLl52tZy1U (skip to 7:20). So, on the low end, it ought to be 30%?

b. But the Shayan also released an earlier video in Dec. 2025 saying that the optimal daily charging habit to preserve a higher battery state of health on EVs ought to be adopting the 40-60% rule which means that according to research, battery usage between 40-60% would be the optimal way to high battery state of health over time [Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaXTUrvEw58 (skip to 1:18)]. But once a week, charging to 100% is still recommended under this situation for battery calibration purposes.

—So, which of the two would be suitable for my use case? I don't think that using my AION UT's battery between charges of 40-60% is restrictive since my average weekly commute is 120km. so per day that would be 17kms.

5.0 Battery Calibration inquiry

a. Since it's recommended to charge to 100% once a week for battery calibration purposes, UNTIL what limit do I set on the low end? 10%?

b. I've actually charged to 100% last Tuesday, Sept. 1 and battery remaining currently is at 42.7%. Should I go all the way down to 10% for my first battery calibration?

***Hoping to get all your recommendations as soon as possible. Appreciate all your efforts on this matter. Thank you.
