Petron Awards Prizes in Fast Prize Promo; Promo Runs Until February 15!
Christmas wishes came true for winners of the Petron Fast Prize promo, who will be enjoying their new cars, motorcycles, and free fuel for a year.
On the very first day of the promo, which runs from November 15, 2014 to February 15, 2015, Ferdinand Siobal, a businessman, was feeling lucky when he saw the tarp announcing Petron’s Fast Prize promo, jokingly telling his wife, “Do you see that? What if we take home the Toyota Vios?” Even with his tank still half-full, he decided to stop at the Petron station in Marikina and fueled up his Nissan Navarra with P1,500-worth of Diesel Max. True enough, he got his wish and was the first winner of a major prize in Petron’s ongoing Fast Prize promo.

Top 5 Picks for 2014
2014 is a renaissance of sorts for the Philippine automotive industry. Record-breaking sales (topping north of 200,000 units), tons of events, and a great number of new entrants—for those covering the industry, it’s been a very busy year. Therefore, picking just the top five cars/vehicles of the year isn’t easy, but it’s something we have been doing for the past three years now (2013, 2012, 2011). As always, we don’t break it down into categories or classifications here. This is pretty straight to the point. No bull crap here. There are only two rules to be considered for CarGuide.PH’s Top 5 Picks: first, we should have driven it; second, it must be mainstream (no cars above PHP 4-million).
Now that we’ve put everything in order, let’s get on with CarGuide.PH’s Top 5 Picks of 2014. The list begins, in preferential order, after the break.

Proactive owners are the people who even before they buy their respective cars have already decided where to get it fix before something breaks. Reactive owners, on the other hand, never maximize the potential of their vehicles because they postpone routine maintenance until it’s absolutely necessary.
