First Drive: 2023 Kia EV6 GT-Line Long Range (w/ Full Philippine Specs)
We got stares, inquisitive looks, and genuine questions about the Kia EV6 while it was charging at the front of Seda Hotel in Bonifacio Global City—one of Ayala Land’s pioneering EV charging sites. Finished in Moonshade, a matte silver-gray color, one guy stared intently before realizing he was blocking traffic and moved out of the way. Such is the design power of Kia Philippines’ first all-electric vehicle and why it could be vital to its success, at least locally.

Review: 2023 Mitsubishi Montero Sport Black Series Ralliart 2WD
There’s no beating around the bush: the Mitsubishi Montero Sport is getting old. The current generation was first launched locally back in 2016 (it was subsequently refreshed in 2019) which means it’s now overshadowed by newer offerings. Yet, there’s still a strong, almost cult-like following for this particular mid-sized SUV, one which this Ralliart version aims to tap.

Out Of My Comfort Zone: Taking The Mazda BT-50 Camping And (Sort Of) Loving It
Try something new, for once—that’s the sort of inspirational content your Gen Z friends share on Facebook, second only to your tita and her daily Bible quote. While that makes for a great excuse to spend their life savings on “experiences,” not even a GIF of Morgan Freeman or Daenerys Targaryen staring stoically will convince me. I’m a man of routine, and that doesn’t bother me at all.
