Disclosure: This article is part of a paid campaign by Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation. Mitsubishi is, arguably, as much a part of the fabric of Philippine motoring as the iconic jeepney. Since 1963, nameplates like Lancer, Galant, Celeste, Cimarron, Pajero and many more have become permanent entries in the Filipino driving vocabulary. And through all the country’s glories and crises, the Japanese carmaker has always stayed by the Filipino’s side, bringing functional and exciting mobil

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

During our brief afternoon with the Hyundai Stargazer, we noticed how some of its design, technical, and safety feat

The subcompact sedan Mitsubishi Mirage has been around for a very long time. It rarely undergoes massive facelifts and aesthetic enhancements, that is why several people know how it looks when they hear its name from someone. But things have changed as Mitsubishi popped the curtain to reveal an all-new Mitsubishi Mirage G4.

All other pick-up trucks’ Part-Time 4WD transmission have just three modes – 2WD High (2H), 4WD High (4H), and 4WD Low (4L). When driving on normal tarred roads, only 2H should be used, even if it’s raining. Using any other modes on high traction surfaces like tarred roads will cause premature damage to the transmission. 4H should be used only in off-road conditions while the crawling speed ultra-low ratio 4L is only for extreme off-road conditions. The only exception to this is the Mitsubishi S
