We at AutoFun Philippines believe that having a narrow car is conducive to couple closeness. One advantage of having four-wheeled means of transport is that the cockpit (i.e., the front interior area) usually seats two and that the means to enhance intimacy (i.e., the air-conditioning and infotainment controls, plus the glovebox and a number of storage bins or cupholders) are within easy reach of either front occupant. That said, it helps a lot if the lateral distance between the front seats is

As seven-seater MPVs become increasingly popular, it becomes harder and harder to tell which is a worthwhile purchase. What’s a fad and forever can take a long time, but comparing two of the most popular models is a good idea – say the Mitsubishi Xpander against a worthy adversary. Something that appeals to the market at the same level as the Xpander does and costs about as much as the Xpander does, too, like the Suzuki Ertiga. With both nameplates releasing updates to their lineups - the Suzuki

Ever since the Honda Mobilio and BR-V twins, the MPV market has had MPVs traipsing around as SUVs for buyers of all different kinds, and the Mitsubishi Xpander and Xpander Cross are no different. Both seat seven and use 1.5-liter engines mated to a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic gearbox. Both obviously sit on the same platform and use the same panels, underpinnings, and trims. The 2023 Mitsubishi Xpander and the 2023 Mitsubishi Xpander Cross both enjoy new facelifts, but the question rema

Disclaimer: Honda Cars Philippines Inc. very kindly lent me a 2022 Honda HR-V V Turbo for one week full of fuel and RFID cards with enough load for a trip to the moon and back. AutoFun Philippines paid for a car wash and some fuel for the trip back to the HCPI plant in Santa Rosa, Laguna. “Nahulog ata sa likod ng kotse yung earphones ko nung nag-drifting.” [Translation: My earphones might have fallen in the back seat when we went drifting.] So was the rather harried message that I got from my de

Oh say, can you see…? Yes, I can see this behemoth of a car in the middle of the narrow Philippine road! Yes, it's that big! About 18 feet long, seven and a half feet wide, and 6.5 feet tall, taller than most Pinoys. It will crush you by just looking at it. It's chrome and aluminum grill will be the last thing you see. It seems like it's spewing freedom than smoke from its tailpipes. Yes, it's the Ford Expedition. The Ford Expedition is a full-size SUV only comparable in size with the Chevrolet

When people say that the modern automotive popularity lies in crossover vehicles, I believe them and I understand why as I prefer crossovers too. Not because the hype is in crossovers, but I prefer it over other car types because of its versatility. It gives you the comfortability of a sedan with the functionalities of an SUV. It comes with more space than the sedan without having the responsibility to maneuver a massive regular-size sport utility vehicle. It just compensates for what you need o
