Disclaimer, Honda Philippines lent us the 2020 Honda City RS with a full gas tank and access to its two RFID cards. When the 2020 Honda City first came out, it was a radical redesign from its older version, as the newer one looked more like a much bigger Honda Civic that had been shrunken down to meet the subcompact sedan classification. I was lucky enough to be one of the few to experience the new City a few weeks after its initial launch during a media drive event. I was excited to test its ha

The 2023 Honda Civic Type R is one of the most exciting performance cars to launch in the Philippines this year. However, it is facing trouble in the United States, where Honda Cars ordered the stoppage of all sales of the Type R on March 31, 2023 for a safety recall. The issue? Improperly manufactured seat frames. “The driver’s seat and cushion frame assembly may have faulty welds which may lead to squeaking, rattling noises, or breakage of the seat frame weld,” the carmaker said in its service

The 2023 Honda CR-V has launched in Thailand, revealing new styling, a host of new features, plus a hybrid system that could change the game for the crossover.

When we reported on Toyota’s supposed plan to revive the MR-S sports car, you folks couldn’t get enough of it.

Throughout our racing careers, both AutoFun Philippines content head Mikko David and I have been able to take the Toyota MR-S convertible to its limits on th

Test-driving a car for a living sure sounds like a lot of fun instead of moping around in a gloomy-drab corners of an empty room. But excitement levels do churn up a notch especially when a person is onboard an avant-garde Geely Coolray but maybe it's way better to keep a sharp eye on those grubby meat-hooks er, fingers of yours as they entangle themselves to ah, one Ford Ecosport’s blunt-sized joystick? Well, Kool (Kool and the Gang) is cool but Coolray was way much cooler than the name (its na

Scaling down. It may be a messy word to numerous car devotees, but clearly unavoidable. Indeed purveyors of expansive motors, Mercedes-AMG, as of late announced that its respected 4.0-litre, twin turbo V8 engines will be supplanted with hybrid 4-cylinder ones. Very a stun to the framework, yes. If you, like me, lived through the late 1980s and entire 1990s, you'd know that premium and performance cars of that era mostly came with large-capacity engines. 2.0-litre engines? That was the minimum en
