Much as they’ve been a powerhouse in an industry that’s concerned with almost nothing but the shift towards electricity, Toyota still makes a great effort to keep spirits high for car enthusiasts the world over. When they debuted the Toyota 86 in the early 2010’s, it introduced a new wave of enthusiasts to a fairly […]
For most, the second-gen Toyota Yaris is an everyday econobox. Essentially, it is a “sportier” hatchback version of the practical and affordable Vios sedan; And they’re not wrong to think so.

Different generations get hooked on cars thanks to certain vehicles. Our fathers may have clamored over the 1st gen Lancers or the TE Corollas hanging out regularly at Greenhills in the 70’s, our grandfathers may recall days of driving the odd American muscle, and perhaps the children of today look towards cars like the new […]
With all the rage the internet is on about the humble pony car, perhaps it’s safe to say that the Ford Mustang doesn’t exactly have the best reputation among car enthusiasts.
