Upon the request of many of our readers, we revisited our series of long term test on our 2016 Suzuki Ciaz. Our report remains somewhat relevant because our Ciaz is still the same model currently being marketed by the Suzuki Automobile dealers across the country. In Part 5, we write a short and sad report about one of the realities ...

Upon the request of many of our readers, we revisited our 2016 Suzuki Ciaz. We hope that our report is still relevant since it’s still the same model currently being marketed by the Suzuki Automobile dealers across the country. Here’s Part 4 of our long term test report: We’ve been pampering our long-term 2016 Suzuki Ciaz 1.4 GLX A/T after we ...

I was browsing the website of BarnFinds.Com and saw a photo of this white two-door fastback for sale at Hemmings for $18,500 or best offer. Immediately, I concluded that it was a 1965 Plymouth Barracuda but upon closer inspection, I knew that it was not. “Is it a Fiat Dino or an Opel Kadett?” I asked myself and again, I ...

Don’t you find it strange that Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) debuted their next-generation plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) sport utility vehicle (SUV) concept at the 89th Geneva International Motor Show in March and then announce a month later that their premium SUV, the Pajero/Montero, will be discontinued?

I’ve always savored the chance to compete in motorsports. Be it four wheels or two, on road or off-road, street or circuit, wheel-to-wheel or time trials, speed contests or economy runs. I’ve always known that motorsports is a rich man’s game and that I’m not a wealthy man. When an opportunity arises to join a race for free as a ...

A month ago (March 28-29, 2019), Suzuki Philippines, Inc. (SPH) invited us to drive the all-new third-generation Suzuki Swift from their Suzuki Auto Kalookan dealership to Bagac, Bataan, spend the night at the Las Casas Filipinas De Acuzar resort, and then drive back to Metro Manila the next day. During the drive, we observed that the “… Suzuki Swift has ...

Loyal followers of Power Wheels Magazine will notice that we changed the nomenclature of our 1973 Volkswagen Beetle from “1600” to “1300 S“. That’s because we finally found out what Beetle model our Project Car was after we found its original “VW 1300 S” emblem that goes on the rear engine cover. This is also significant because we now can put ...

Do you have what it takes to be a race car driver? Are you itching to speed through an actual race track and push the “pedal to the metal“? Can you really “walk the talk” or are you just “all show and no go“? If you own a second-generation 2007-2013 Toyota Vios (XP90/NCP90) or a third-generation 2013-present Toyota Vios (XP150/NCP150) and you’re raring ...

Knowing that people lacked the ability to acquire and pay for the upkeep of four-wheeled vehicles, aircraft designer CorradinoD’Ascanio — the inventor of the Vespa scooter — came up with a solution.
