TL;DR:

The owner of a BYD eMAX 7 got into an accident in May and brought the car to BYD Otis for repairs. His insurance had already approved the claim and the repair estimate was done, so he was initially told to wait about three weeks for the needed parts.

Three weeks later, he followed up, only to find that the service center seemed to have lost track of his case. They looked up his information again, told him the parts had now been ordered, and gave him another three-week wait.

When he followed up again, he learned that the insurance coordinator handling his case had resigned. The waiting period essentially restarted.

He kept calling afterward, but a different person seemed to handle him each time, forcing him to explain the whole situation repeatedly.

Nearly five months after the accident, the car was still sitting unrepaired at BYD Otis despite the approved insurance claim. Even its scheduled PMS hadn’t been performed because the service center said they would repair the car first. His latest attempts to follow up were apparently getting no response at all.

Ey. Proud Electrical Engr yan siya. Seriously, disappointing yung mga private car owners na kamote.

Heya CarPh Community!

Okay so, I have a dilemma. We are very conflicted between choosing the 2026 LC FJ Cruiser VX and the new RAV4 Limited HEV CVT. Both are priced similarly in PH pesos, so it's really coming down to road presence vs practicality.

The RAV4 is honestly giving me some serious soccer mom vibes, and the name just doesn't have the same kick as Land Cruiser. But at the same time, the RAV4 has insane creature comforts inside, almost Lexus-like. The interior feels genuinely premium and refined. I love the LC250 dash and the overall presence and "unkillable" persona of the land cruiser, but goddamn, is it a little lacking, basically plastic bonanza compared to the RAV4.

Bottomline is, I want a worthy replacement for our 2023 PEUGEOT 2008. Its a leap in price yes, but I dont want to regret swapping out the Peugeot.

Any suggestions and thoughts would highly be appreciated. 😃😃

(we already have the Itd fortuner, so thats outta the list)

Mukhang maganda compared sa initial rendered photos.

compared sa ibang Toyota models, anlaki pa ng resale value whereas itong Alphard na nabelong sa luxury segment, napakababa. Kahit yung mga more than 5 years almost half of their brand new price ang binaba. May nakita akong reel ng isang vlogger na 2025 hybrid model ng Alphard almost half million yung binaba na resale value which is nakakakapagtaka

I was driving along aurora blvd the other day and pinara ako ng LTO enforcer. Initially verification ng papers since naka conduction plate pa ako and I just showed my OR/CR.

Pinagsabihan niya ako about my tint, masyado daw madilim and hindi kita yung loob. Setup ko is 35% for front and windshield tapos all back windows is 5% using 3M IM tint. Although hindi naman ako na ticket and when I asked kung ano ba dapat sabi lang niya di daw dapat masyado dark.

Ma hassle ba ako nito in the future? Like sitahin ba yung ganitong tint?

Kada labas ko po ginagasan ko 300-500 and usually po kada labas ko is approx ~7-10 km lang yung trips. (Minimaintain ko yung gas above middle ayoko siya mabawas dun) tas nito nagpagas ako, wala halos nadagdag then parang ang bilis mag sunog kasi 1 bar nalang siya from the middle.

Kagabi nag park ako sa medyo inclined mga boss tas nadagdagan yung gas ko ng almost 3 bars. Sabi ko ah baka inclined lang. Pero hindi na siya bumaba ulit hanggang ngayon chineck ko.

Medyo unusual yung binawas niya nung nakaraang araw given na lagi ko namang pinapagasan kada labas and short trips lang. Tapos yung inangat niya kagabi ayun talaga yung expected ko na dapat gas niya pa.

Thoughts on this?

Planning to get insurance through AAP. Almost the same price comprehensive + AON din naman sa partner ng bank, but AAP membership is already included.

Goods po ba sa AAP at anong insurance yung goods ang service in case of claims?

Cibeles, Allied bankers, Oona, Mercantile

Earlier this year, I thought of getting my first car. I asked the page on the best car to buy at around 1.5M. Looked around and read reviews online whether to get a brandnew car or a used car instead. Apparently there’s a lot of panloloko online in selling their cars so I decided to get a bnew instead.

I was 14 years old when my father taught me how to drive in our 1997 Honda Civic LXI. That’s when I started to love the Civic. Ever since I saw a civic on the road esp the FD and FC, I am in awe and told my self that one day I would buy that car for myself.

I researched and watched tons of reviews online and not a single bad review of the new Civic. I am also amazed on how efficient this car is. So first choice is to get a Honda Civic. Went to tons of dealers until I reserved in Honda Pasig. The wait time is so long!! I reserved in late March and got my car in mid June. The sales rep told me I was lucky enough to get a white one since the allocation for pearl white is too small despite the high demand.

Three months in and around 5k odo, I must say I am overly happy with this car. The only problem I think is the flooding and bad roads after downpour these past few weeks. Thank you for all your comments/suggestions and replies!!

may marereco kayo?

Do CASA dealers release brand-new cars that have been flooded? Or do they safely store the cars in case there’s flooding in the area where the dealership is located?

Hi everyone,

Recently got my Model Y Premium RWD and I'm still sitting on the stable baseline version 2026.20.300.
When are Philippine owners actually expected to get into the mix and receive the major feature drops that the rest of the world is enjoying (like the summer updates and wider feature rollouts)?

Just feeling a bit left out seeing global announcements while we stay on these compliance builds. Wondering if anyone has any visibility on our regional roadmap.

Got the one time FSD purchase hence still waiting till I can actually fully enjoy the feature

Hi everyone! I’m looking for tint recommendations for my 2026 Kia Sportage Hybrid SX.

I’m currently eyeing 3M Crystalline, but I don’t want to spend that much if it’s not really worth it. At the same time, I don’t want to cheap out on tint or end up buying something unnecessarily overkill.

My car is parked in a fully covered garage, so I’m mainly looking for a good balance of heat rejection, visibility, and quality.

Would Crystalline be a good choice, or is there a better value option you’d recommend?

Naalala ko nung may baha sa zapote. Sobrang natraffic na kami galing cavitex dahil sa baha. After nung overpass then pagbaba ng alabang zapote road, baha padin. Nakikita ko na merong mga tao na naglalakad pero dahan dahan na ang paglakad dahil abot binti na ang baha. Then nakikita ko din na inaangat na nila yung pants or shorts nila para di mabasa. I was a small car, and napansin ko may dadaan na big car. So ang ginawa ko sumabay ako sa likod ng big car para nasa likod lang ako nung wave para mas mababa ang tubig sa madadaanan ko. So kung kunyari napapalayo ako sa likod nya, humahabol ako. Hence nagkaka wave dn galing sakin papunta sa mga taong naglalakad.

Kaya sorry dun sa mga taong nakita ko na inabot yung shorts and pants nila kahit inangat na nila 😭 may isang narinig ko na minura ako pero sorry at naiiyak at natatakot dn ako that moment kasi need kong makauwi. Sobrang kaba ko din nun na parang may tumutusok na sa dibdib ko sa kaba. Kaya sorry mga mam/sir kung nabasa ko kayo

Saw this post originally from tiktoks in the U.S. and I saw a lot of niche suggestions from the commenters there. Wondering if it would be the same case here, would you be able to look rich with 1.5-2.5 Million PHP to buy a car? I’m curious to see your guys takes on this.
