Car 101: Tips and FAQ Thread

  • Hyundai Ioniq EV is dead. They remained Hybrid Ioniq, which is not the same Ioniq EV.


    That's what I'm referring. Hybrid.

    Yes, but they have a seperate market duon. That's why they have a Formula E segment. Although I don't watch it.


    Thats the point of this discussion at first. MARKET.

    Pero abroad, iba siguro.

    Overall, sa nakikita ko, kung wala Prius, baka hindi rin nag-try ang ibang manufacturer for Hybrid/EV. So kumbaga, naging trendsetter.


    Iba pag abroad at pag may campaign kasama ang government support. In fact, they give incentives to those who are going to purchase Hybrids and EV like Singapore.

    ^ prius sa pilipinas hindi naman talaga pinush dahil wala naman programa gobyerno natin para sa hybrid. Sa ibang bansa malalaki incentives kaya mabenta ang prius. I thought he was saying prius was a flop in general but to call it a flop in the philippines is misleading. Dami kasing sweeping statements like this and that are dead, etc. without checking facts and instead resorting to name calling (mr google).


    I agree here

  • Prius was released in the 90s. Have you seen more than 2 Prius on the road at the same time?

    Saang kalye nirelease ang prius noong 90s?
  • Our transportation system + confusing travelling restriction suck so much that owning a car became a "necessity" instead of a "want".
    agree ako dito. given pandemic and all, kung walang kotse, nag taxi or grab na lang. Kaya ko parin naman makipagsapalaran sa commute kung ako lang, pero kung sasama ko mag ina ko. nope. gagamit ako ng kotse talaga.
  • this and that are dead, etc. without checking facts and instead resorting to name calling (mr google).

    Wait what? Without facts? Nag counter-argument ka pero hindi ka rin naman nagbigay ng "facts" kuno hindi ba? Nag request ka ng figures from "google" so nagbigay ako. Tas ako yung resorting to whatev. lol

    I just gave Toyota sales figure of 2019 right? Eto add ako, Toyota sales for 2020; sold per model:

    Corolla Altis – 1,121
    Camry – 230
    Prius – 0
    Prius C – 0

    Nung ini-start ko tong topic "future" ng auto world or Toyota, 2030+ vision pero pinasok mo si "current" so ayan andito tayo.

    Saang kalye nirelease ang prius noong 90s?

    Hindi pako mulat niyan so I solely based that info on the internet. Prius was released on the 2nd half of the 90s. Although someone pointed out hindi pa hybrid si Prius at that time.
  • Prius was released in the 90s. Have you seen more than 2 Prius on the road at the same time?

    which road are you referring to? PH road? other countries road? PH road yes because there is less campaign when it comes to Hybrid before. also, Prius is expensive (Japan Made) for Filipinos. Prius was released in 90s without hybrid technology.


    @bryccc
    Gulo mo kasi magkwento. Sasabihin mo prius was released in the 90s? Saan? Sa amerika? Tapos susundan mo na prius was a flop. Saan? Sa pilipinas? Sinundan mo pa ng 0 sales ang prius. Saan? Sa pilipinas pa din?

    Walang hybrid program or incentives ang govt sa pilipinas na kagaya ng sa ibang bansa at walang prius sa pilipinas noong 90s.

    And you say wala akong kwenta kausap?
  • Kalmahan niyo lang haha.

    Baka siguro ang sinasabi ni Bryccc nung una ay sa Pilipinas in relation to Prius. Judging the numbers.

    Re: Hybrid/EV

    Yup tama, walang incentives/tax savings ang Hybrid/EV satin, kaya hindi pa tayo binibigyan ng magagandang EV options.

    At mukhang matagal pa mangyayari satin to.
  • sa corporate lang siguro to papi.
    From my limited exp, mas malakas magbigay ng discount si mitsubishi. 70k bigay na discount samin nun sa G4 2015 ko, yung kapitbahay namin, bumili ng Xpander, 90k yung discount for their GLS 2021. Whereas si toyota, 30k yung discount na binigay dun sa isa naming kapitbahay na naka rush.

    Nung nagtanung din ako for Avanza and Innova, parang 15-20k discount lang bigay nila sakin via bank PO. Honda din parang around that same price range.

    Corporate wise, pansin ko nga toyota talaga. Baka nga malaki discount sa corp. Sa mga ka batch ko na may pakotse, puro sila toyota. Lalo sa mga pharmaceutical companies, pa-service car nila laging vios. Though nagho-honda sila for the Managers and GMs.

    Yes sir, as per my post. Negotiated discounts are normally offered for fleets and employee car loans/plans. I used to work under an umbrella which includes toyota ph. May free toyota car hehe. Cool din yung service na innova na parang eroplano sa loob. What i've learned is kuripot sila sa commercial variants dito sa pinas haha. Tinitipid nila yung nilalagay except sa top of the line. Prius naman is a great very efficient hybrid. Too bad it's very expensive here. Marami siyang hater because performance is basic and interior is generic. Pang point A to malayong point B lang talaga siya.

    Iirc there is a law for excise tax exemption for ev and 50% for hybrid. Pero mahal talaga ang cars sa pinas because there are a lot of other taxes imposed. Tumaas pa nung nag-TRAIN law. Imagine i bought my mirage before for less than 500k! Then came train law. Now a mirage is at 700k!

  • Just like in 2019, the Prius duo failed to attract any buyers. But that doesn’t mean the market isn’t ready for Toyota hybrid offerings. One of the vehicles introduced by the Japanese brand in our market in 2020 showed potential. We’re talking about the Corolla Cross, which sold 423 units of the gasoline version and 175 units of the hybrid version. We expect this model to continue doing great in 2021


    According from his source.

    Corolla Cross Hybrid sold 175 units. There are people now as long as the price is right, will purchase a hybrid car. Altis on the otherhand is from the 11th gen numbers. 12th gen offers both hybrid and gasoline variants.

    I hope that the hybrid cars like Raize, Yaris Cross and Sienta from Toyota can atleast enter the PH shores or the new HRV/Vezel hybrid

  • Kaya siguro dumadagsa ang Chinese cars sa atin dahil sa ASEAN.

    Ang alam ko may rule among ASEAN countries sa pag import ng cars na masmababa ang tax pag 1.5 engine displacement and below.
  • Yes sir, the ASEAN-China Free Trade Area. Zero tariff kaya mura plus other incentives from the government because "friends".
  • got myself a ford territory. comfy ride (especially the suspension), nice aircon, good/decent power for its size (the turbo really comes in handy) , good space, but the fuel consumption is even worse than in my ecosport (which is saying a lot). hopefully eh hindi kasing daming papalitan kagaya ng ng sa ecosport.

  • ilan po fuel consumption ng territory?
  • di ko mineasure pa ng full tank method pero tingin ko eh 5-6km per liter eh. malakas sa gas yung pagdating ko ng isang area eh 5 minutes akong nagiidle para properly makapag cooldown si turbo. 6kms lang ako from house to office. pag nagmanila office na ako (from tandang sora qc) eh palitan ko si ecosport ng toyota cross hybrid.

    significant pa rin ba ang fuel savings sa corollar cross hybrid kung expressway (nlex to skyway stage 3) naman daan ko araw araw or hindi na masyado kasi hindi na traffic yun? better ba magpickup na lang ako at diesel yun at mageven out ang fuel cost? salamat

  • Parang same feedbacks sa Geely Coolray, na malakas daw sa gas.
  • ^nagmukhang Xpander na yung avanza. It looks better. Ano kaya revision nila sa rush?

    Mejo nakakalito, bakit iba pa yung Veloz sa Avanza? hindi ba parang TOTL avanza yung Veloz dapat? Akala ko nung una, yun yung rush sa ibang bansa e

    same lang. Avanza Veloz variant.

    Akala ko nung una, yun yung rush sa ibang bansa e


    hindi. Terios (Singapore, Indonesia) sa ibang bansa yung Rush
  • ^thanks for the clarification!
    Dun kasi sa reveal nung avanza, dalawa yung pine-present nilang vehicle, Avanza 2022 tsaka Veloz 2022. Tapos malaki difference nung face value nung dalawa. Kaya parang another model altogether yung Veloz.
  • ^bili ka bagong chikot boss matcha :D
  • mauna ka papa doks! gumagana pa mirage namin. gusto ko man palitan, walang budget haha. Priority ang junakis kasi.
  • Goodbye sub 1m avanza

    Veloz is more on aesthetics kasi eh. even from the past Avanza Veloz release. kung mapapansin mo yung fascia ng Veloz ngayon versus Avanza G variant. baka magkaroon pa yan ng GR-S variant. hehehe.
  • Ask ko lang po: ano po kaya pang kapit sa rain guard/sun visor/door visor or kung ano man tawag po dun sa mahaba na hard plastic na ikinakabit sa itaas ng window po? 90s corolla big body lang po yung tsikot. Salamat po!
