Review: 2023 Nissan Livina 1.5 VL
Basically, there are two reasons why automakers would design and build a car. Either they’re doing it for the sheer passion of it, or because they see it as a way to improve their bottom line. More often than not, a car exists somewhere between these two extremes. For Nissan, this could very well be almost their entire line-up from the Almera to the Patrol. In rare occasions, you get something born out of pure passion like the GT-R, the Z, and depending on who you ask, the LEAF. Now, for every so-called “passion project” there’s one whose sole mission is to improve their bottom line, and that’s where the all-new Nissan Livina comes in.

Honda Jazz Deemed Most Reliable Car; Range Rover Is Least Reliable
U.K.-based Warrantywise, a used car warranty provider, has used their quantifiable data to name the most and least reliable cars based on warranty claims and the highest cost of repair.
Only including cars that are less than ten years old, outside of the manufacturer’s warranty, and discounting models with less than 100 plans to ensure a fair sample size, it comes as no surprise that the Honda Jazz is the most reliable car with an overall score of 93.7 out of 100.
The rest of the Top 10 is a mixture of models including the Mazda2 coming in second and the Toyota Auris (Corolla) claiming third. The Mazda MX-5 places fourth, the Toyota Aygo fifth, the Kia Ceed and Rio sixth and seventh respectively, the Suzuki Alto is eighth, the Hyundai i20 ninth, and the Peugeot 107 comes in tenth.
Meanwhile, it came to unreliable cars, the Range Rover topped the list due to the sheer frequency and cost of repairs. The last-generation model, in particular, scored just 20.2 out of 100.
The rest of the Bottom 10 are the BMW M5, which places tenth least reliable, the Mazda CX-5 is ninth, the Bentley Continental GT is eighth, the Audi Q7 places seventh, the Porsche Cayenne is sixth, the BMW X6 comes in fifth, the Porsche Panamera is fourth, and the BMW M3 places second.

Review: 2022 Chery Tiggo 8 Pro 1.6T
Chery is on to something with the Tiggo 8 Pro. After spending some years competing against other Chinese brands as well as their own rather unfortunate Philippine distributorship history, they think they’ve got the vehicle to battle the mainstream Japanese offerings. It sounds crazy, but after some seat time in one, there’s reason to back up this pronouncement. Wipe away those preconceptions; this mid-sized SUV’s the real deal and it could very well put them on the local automotive map.
