Love Cars And Coffee? The Honda Welcome Aoyama Might Be Worth The Visit
Honda fans’ main attraction will always be the Collection Hall in Twin Ring Motegi. However, because getting to Tochigi requires real planning, the Honda Welcome Plaza Aoyama is a great alternative, especially if you find yourself with a couple of hours to spare around Tokyo.

Must Love Dogs: Driving To Pawssion Project In Bulacan
Humans can be despicable at times. Just when you thought their cruelty would extend only to spreading hate and vitriol to fellow man, you hear of stories of animal cruelty from Pawssion Project’s founder Malou Perez. It’s difficult, even for the most hardened person, not to get winded up after hearing how dogs (and cats) were abandoned by their family just because they were just “too much trouble” or that they “weren’t fun anymore.”

The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Is A Tito Car And That's Not Such A Bad Thing
On the surface, being labeled as a “Tito’s car” may seem insulting; after all, carmakers are always targeting the youth or youth-oriented demographic. However, in my experience with the all-new Subaru Crosstrek (the crossover formerly known as the Subaru XV), whether it’s by design or accident, its practical packaging and easy-to-drive demeanor make it the great car for those who’ve just hit their mid-forties. Let me explain.

The 2024 Mazda MX-5's DSC-Track Will Help You Sharpen Your Racing Skills
Jinba-Ittai is the key concept at the heart of every Mazda, and the MX-5 is the paradigm of that philosophy. Originally known as “Jinsha Ittai,” meaning oneness between car and driver, it was a typo on a calling card that led people to call it, “Jinba-Ittai” afterward. Regardless, the underlying philosophy remains the same: it wasn’t about chasing outright speed, but rather, about providing a sense of engagement that was fun yet approachable.

Pampanga Food Tripping With The BMW X1, X3, And 3 Series
It’s been eight years since BMW Philippines last held a ride and drive. The last one, if you were old enough to remember, was with the 2 Series Active Tourer way back in 2015. That was a different era: X was still Twitter, Facebook had a timeline (rather than a newsfeed), and there wasn’t any mad rush among motoring journos to hit, “publish” first on any story. Today, we’ve got a maniac in charge of X, Facebook’s now known as Meta, and journalists (me included) are more concentrated on churning out stories than anything else. It’s times like these I yearn for simpler times and thank goodness BMW’s managed to give that even for just one afternoon.

An Ode To The Internal Combustion Engine: Mazda Fan Festa 2023 At Fuji Speedway
It was a traffic jam worth being in. As our bus went inside the premises of the Fuji International Speedway, we were surrounded by a gaggle of Mazdas. Most were MX-5s, CX-5s, and CX-60s, but there was an odd Mazda Luce or two. Seeing the sight, our bus driver muttered the words, “Ah, rotary engine.” While I couldn’t make out the rest of his Nihongo, his knowledge of Mazda’s trademark engine spoke volumes of the brand’s indelible mark among the Japanese, and the rest of the world for that matter.

Hyundai Motorstudio Senayan Park Focuses On Human Connection For Progress
Hyundai’s corporate vision is a simple one: Progress for Humanity. Yet, those three seemingly simple words encapsulate what Hyundai was, is, and will be. With a logo that symbolizes two people shaking hands in an act of mutual respect and trust, the mobility company has expanded that to cover the value of humanity altogether; one that strengthens relationships and connection.

Can You Make It From Manila To Baguio (And Back) In An EV Without Worrying About Range?
Whenever we get our hands on any vehicle with a modest engine displacement, the most common question we get is: kaya ba umakyat ng Baguio yan (can it get up to Baguio)? Located 1,540 meters above sea level and about 200 kilometers north of Manila, the “Summer Capital of the Philippines” or “The City of Pines” is often an endurance test a car must ace before being accepted by the masses as well-built (matibay). Nowadays, just about any well-maintained modern vehicle can now make it up thanks to a better road network, and of course, better built cars. But what about EVs?
