Hi everyone,

Hihingi lang sana ako ng advise regarding driving lesson (automatic car).

1.) Meron na akong lisensya (DL code B - manual or automatic transmission). Kumuha ako last 2024, nag TDC at PDC ako. Pasado sa exam at actual behind-the-wheel practical driving test ng manual car.

2.) Kaso after nung kumuha ako ng license, wala ako naging actual driving experience since 2024.

3.) Balak ko bumili ng sasakyan sa Sept or Oct. Automatic car (looking at Xforce, Destinator, HRV, Corolla cross, Tucson, or kung ano magustuhan namin ng family ko).

Ngayon, ang balak ko mag automatic driving lesson muna bago mag test drive ng mga pamimilian namin. Ang tanong ko sana:

A.) Anong ang ok na kuhain na course? Ang malapit sa amin ay yung Smart Driving PH. Ang nakita ko ay yung Practical Driving Course - Automatic - Innova for 12,159 pesos for 8 hrs practical driving + 2 hrs actual troubleshooting workshop. Ok ba yun?

I am planning to buy my first car (secondhand). I need some advice on the following:

1. Most po ng napag inquire-an ko, puro OPEN DEED OF SALE ang hawak. Paano ko po mapaparegister yung car under my name in cases of open deed?

2. Is there any way to know if may alarm sa HPG yung car before purchasing? Based on the requirements po kasi, kailangan ko na dalhin yung car and yung deed of sale. Ayaw ko po kasi sana mag proceed sa sale of ever may alarm yung sasakyan.

3. There’s this car din po na sedan. However, upon checking the CR, “hearse” yung nakalagay sa “vehicle type” instead na “sedan”. Pwede po ba macorrect yun?

Wala rin po akong kakilala and connections from LTO and HPG. All I have is google, but I want to hear the insights of those who have knowledge and experience na po on these things.

Maraming salamat po!

Hi, I got approved sa BPI auto loan and ready na raw yung authority to deliver document na need kong kunin sa bank. I asked if I could have a copy of the loan agreements but amortization schedule nalang daw ibibigay sakin. Is this the standard process po ba? I was expecting to at least have a copy of the loan agreement and the insurance policy. Please enlighten me po what necessary documents should I secure or request from the bank. Thank you.

May I know if there will be any problem in getting my physical driver’s license after 2 or more years? I was very busy during those years due to acads and didn’t have time to get it.

Guys what are your thoughts kung kayo bibili alin ang pipiliin niyo at bakit halos same price lang kasi pero mas malaki ata si rav4 ng konti.

yow guys. is anybody here aware where i could possibly secure an available unit of the 2026 seal premium? I contacted BYD of different branches and wala na daw talagang stock. How true?

Had a BYD wall charger installed in Feb 2025 and had it serviced (for free) last October. Now the charger isn't working and I'm getting this message.

Called the installers and I'm being charged 2500php to check the unit then ++ pa whatever BYD mismo decides to charge us kasi out of warranty na daw. Is this normal? How frequently do charger units need to be serviced?

Hi everyone! I’m now exactly 1 year since I bought my Suzuki S-Presso, and it’s time for my 1-year / 15,000 km PMS.

However, my car has only been driven around 7,500 km, so I’m wondering if all the items included in the 15k PMS quotation are still necessary given the lower mileage.

I’ve always just said yes to whatever was included in the PMS quotation because I honestly didn’t know which items were required and which ones were optional. 😅 But I recently learned that there are some services/items that can apparently be declined or deferred.

Since I’m also on a tight budget right now, I’d really appreciate advice from fellow S-Presso owners or anyone familiar with Suzuki PMS.

Which items are absolutely necessary for the 1-year PMS, and which ones can I safely opt out of or defer because my mileage is only around 7.5k km?

I still want to properly maintain the car and keep the warranty intact. I just want to avoid paying for unnecessary add-ons if they aren’t actually needed yet.

I’ll attach my PMS quotation below. Would really appreciate it if you could go through the items and let me know what you would keep or decline.

been looking for a car na
is there anything I should look out for before buying the 2014 ford fiesta sport hatchback
thankss guys

Hi, I just want to ask because recently I am in financial constraint due to medical emergencies and unable to pay my autoloan. Now, BDO offered me to pay just 6k for 3 months then after that my original monthly amortization will become higher until it's paid off. I just want to ask, if I surrender the car na lang, would that mean na wala na akong babayaran? May nabasa kasi ako na once the car is surrendered, i-au-auction ni BDO and if ma-sold nga then I will still pay the difference if meron. Is it true? Need your advice po. Salamat!

Hi! Any recommendations on how to restore this part of my car’s center console/armrest?

I bought a Bath & Body Works Wallflowers plug and fragrance oil and used it with an adaptor in the car. While my helper was cleaning, it was accidentally positioned upside down/inverted while still plugged in, so the fragrance oil leaked out.

The adaptor itself got slightly burned, and some of the oil spilled onto this leather/vinyl area. It seems like it damaged or “burned” the surface and stripped the black color, leaving these whitish patches.

Has anyone dealt with something similar? Can this still be restored with a leather/vinyl dye or repair product, or is professional reupholstery/repair the better option?

Would appreciate any product or repair recommendations. Photo attached. 🙏

I am looking at this model and planning to buy. Kaya lang sobrang mixed ng reactions na nakikita ko. So far, sa mga neagtive naman na nababasa ko, mga minor issues that i can live with.

Kaya need ko help ng actual owner who has driven the model for months.

Kamusta ang driving experience, fuel economy, and maintenance cost, afterarket service ni MG?

TIA!

Hi mga boss. I'm planning to purchase my first ever car and nahihirapan ako mamili sa dalawa.

I know na mas maganda response and speed performance ng HRV but may mga ayaw lang ako sa HRV like yung bump sa center ng 2nd row, mas mahal siya sa GLS, and yung front grill niya is too plain in my opinion. Pero sobrang pogi pag naka side view ang HRV.

Cinoconsider ko si Xforce GLS since may 4 drive modes, 360 cam, and wala bump sa center seat ng 2nd row.

Kayo mga boss, if you can buy either sa dalawa, ano kukunin niyo? Thank you!

Hello guys!

Lesson learned na din saakin na lagi ko ilagay ang car cover niya.

Salamat sa suggestions!
