It’s Sunday again, which means it’s time for the AutoFun Philippines Rearview Roundup! You read this the day before Independence Day, which is the date when the Philippines was freed from the shackles of over three centuries of Spanish colonial rule (that was then followed by decades of additional colonial rule under the Americans and the Japanese). It’s also the rainy season now – strong showers are now hitting various parts of the country as a counterbalance to the searing heat in the first ha

The Hyundai i10 has a relatively short history in the Philippines. It was initially brought in to fight the likes of the Kia Picanto, Toyota Wigo and Honda Brio. However, its time in the Philippine market was short-lived as no new generation arrived. In other markets, the i10 nameplate is still alive and well, as the Hyundai hatchback has recently received a minor update.

(Images from Honda PH) As the new Civic model is released, sooner or later, a new Civic Type R will come out. With the new Civic looking more like an Accord, which is more elegant, more formal, more adult, the new Civic Type R can definitely take on this trend and have a more formal re-design despite the red Honda badge screaming at the front and back.

Seen quite a number of Type R OTR but not the Yaris GR but maybe that because the Yaris is still new. But if I’m given a choice between the two I would definitely choose the Yaris because of the looks plus, it’s cheaper! What say you guys? 1) I still go for the Type R! Haha Yes, it’s a little pricey but got more space than the Yaris 2) I agree bro, the GR looks better than the weird looking Type R. I think the Yaris looks more like a hot hatch than the Type R. haha 3) If looks, of course lah I c
