Review: 2022 Honda HR-V 1.5 S Honda SENSING
The HR-V has typically been a design test bed of sorts for Honda. After pioneering the compact crossover genre with the boxy first-generation model back in the late 90s, it then morphed to accommodate coupe-like lines when the second-generation model debuted in 2015. Seven years on, here comes a sleek, radically different HR-V yet again.

The second was when Toyota Motor Philippines brought in the Corolla Altis Hybrid. And the third was when Nissan Philippines officially launched the Leaf locally.

This Is Why Carmakers Have To Take Recalls Seriously
I can’t fathom why, but there’s a strong stigma against vehicle recalls here in the Philippines. In as much as carmakers design and engineer their vehicles to the highest possible standard, sometimes shit happens. Because modern cars are composed of hundreds of thousands of parts, manufacturers can’t be expected to scrutinize every nut, bolt, or screw that goes into their cars.
