- It took a while, but we’re back with another episode of Wrong Car/Right Car. In this old-but-gold Top Gear Philippines format, we help our guests choose the best car to fit their budget and needs.
Jenelle is our guest for episode two, and she’s in the market for a subcompact crossover. Her shortlist consists of one hybrid and two purely gasoline-powered models: the Honda HR-V, Toyota Corolla Cross, and Mitsubishi X-Force. She’s looking for one that provides decent cargo space, is easy to drive, and, of course, fits her budget. We join Jenelle as she takes a closer look at these three crossovers and brings them out for quick test drives.
Click play on the video above to see which car she ended up choosing, and let us know if you would have made the same decision. Interested in being a Wrong Car/Right Car guest? Drop us a Facebook message.

I feel this was a really missed opportunity for the Toyota dealership. The lady was already a Toyota owner and if she was happy with her Vios, she would have picked Toyota again.
To be fair, hindi lahat ng tao comfortable sa harap ng camera pero it would have helped if they showed more enthusiasm and knowledge about the car.
The Toyota rep felt like he didn't want to be there at all 😅. If that was the case, sana man lang nag assign sila ng mas experienced na agent.
Notice how she praised the Honda agent and picked the HRV in the end. Dealership experience is a major factor in car purchases. Kahit gaano pa kaganda yung car, if a buyer can't connect with the seller, they will probably go to another dealership or go to another brand altogether.
100% true on that. When I try to look for new one to possibly replace my 2nd hand car, most if not all Sales Agents would look at me from head to toe, and judge me right away.
in turn, I will tell my friends who plan to get their new vehicles not to go there anymore. Quite a deal breaker na
@@korben75that's the way to go. Don't patronize condescending dealers/sales staff. Put your money where you are treated well 😊
But I hope she considers her choice nga. In the end, a few days dealing with the not so approachable agent is worth it kesa magkaron ng regret (hopefully none) na “sana yung Toyota nalang”. Pwede din naman ibang dealer nalang or ibang agent haha.
Total, meron naman better review ang TGPH about the car. So I suggest to her na choose kung anong car talaga nag connect sa kanya and masaya sya na idrive everyday, over sa *possible* na nagustuhan nya lang yung Honda kasi better sales rep. If that’s the Honda na nagustuhan nya talaga, congrats and enjoy Maam! Good choice still 😊
Bad PR for Toyota with the uninspired rep. Show some enthusiasm
same observation.
i’ve inspected the HRV at least 3 times. I was about to buy this car, esp with the discount now. but i realized the following cons are quite deal breakers to me: 1) middle passwnger seat is unuseable, 2) in the front seats, heels of both drivers and passengersis impeded by the gas tank below, so essentially you wouldnt be able to position your legs at 90 degrees, 3) actual seat is smaller so your leg is missing at least 2 inches of seat space, 4) head room is too low, and 5) visibility is not good. Basically most of my issues with the HRV were ergonomic related. Lastly pala, basically the HRV and the XForce are B-Segments while the CX is C-Segment, so with the CX you get a slightly larger vehicle.
Mitsubishi kinda killed the mood with the sales rep na mukhang bago lang sa work nya. They could have send someone na mas experienced to explain everything. What a missed opportunity!
Exactly!
Brad kht anung gling mong sales rep kung npka overprice naman ng binbenta mo , wala kang mcconvince tlga
@@dancedriclagmandepende yan but for me mas macoconvince ako sa agent na very enthusiastic, willing to assist and help kahit overprice pa yan
@@dancedriclagman lol, sa Pinas andaming bumibili ng overpriced product. One of them is an iPhone.
What I am saying is, may platform na nagbibbigay ng free advertisement online sa casa nila, dapat magaling na ahente pinagsalita nila. look at how she praised the Honda representative.
But maybe you dont understand the impact of its importance to a business. Idk
You should do more car buying episodes like these and it is so much of a help for all buyers looking for their first or next ride. More power TopGear Phils.! God Bless always!!!
+1 To this.. I think mag ggrow lalo ung channel nila kung ganito ka ganya ung contents. Different budgets and different experiences from different dealers.
Noong araw may portion ang Top Gear Philippines sa back part ng magazine nila na may tinutulungan silang buyer ng sasakyan. Usually 3 car options ang nandun then Botchi is the one who will guide also the buyer. Nostalgia feels lang itong video.
Nag mamatter din talaga minsan yung sales talk galing ni ate honda eh, naka enthusiastic sa client.
Teejay! Cool lang haha she was the same agent I had back then almost 2 years ago when I bought my car there!
Yep big thumbs up to her very professional and helpful kausap.
One of my favorite segment in Top Gear Philippines even the time of Botchi Santos in Magazine. More episodes to come and make it a regular segment. It will really helps also to decide. 💯🚗
Yep. Nakakamiss din yun.
Why not Nissan Kicks EPower, electric na, one pedal driving pa. More torque din
Those 2 guys could have done better sa pag convince kay maam na ayun nalang ang bilhin nya haha kaso parang ayaw mag benta e
Hindi naman po kasi lahat magaling kapag may kaharap na camera. 😊
Best review so far from the rest car review with actual buyer for different car brands.
Deal breaker talaga kapag yung agent mo is willing to help, enthusiastic and friendly at mas mapapadali yung pagdecide mo kung anong vehicle ang kukunin mo,
Bagong gising ba yung Toyota rep????????? 😂
parang tinatamad baka naka quota na hahaha.
Why wasn't the new Ford Territory Titatium and the Mazda CX-3 (HEV) included in the recommendations?
Instant fan right here!🎉
Sales rep impressions last!💪
HRV the visibility side by side medyo hindi maganda dahil me obstruction yung maliit na glass next sa side merror.
I guess ang katapat ata netong mga to sa toyota is YC/YX eh, instead of Corolla cross.
Are these 2024 or 25?
Japanese cars today: Cheap interior, Pricey, & Few features.
Cost of hybrid battery replacement should be a consideration.
Sa pagpili ng kotse, kapag ikaw ay gumagamit ng utak, di kailangan ng "dealership experience" dahil sa huli, ang pipiliin mo ay yung kotse na angkop sa pangangailangan mo at sa pera mo. Sa katunayan nga, marami ng dealership overseas na online nalang, pupunta ka sa dealership pra itest drive lng ang sasakyan.
Andami dito sa comment section na gustong matreat ng malaprinsipe at malaprinsesa... Mumurahin lng nmn ang sasakyan na bibilhin.
agree. kung buyer ka, dapat ikaw na mismo mag research. yung ahente ay nandyan na lang para i-assist ka sa test drive, sagutin mga tanong mo, makipag-negotiate ng magandang deal. but as to the specs and the pros and cons, dapat sa buyer na yun. due diligence yun ng buyer. kung di mo type ahente, you can always choose a different dealer from the same brand.
@@Jepas8811 usually non negotiable na ang prices ng kotse ngayon overseas. meron nading "price guarantee", meaning iisa nlng ang presyo ng sasakyan regardless kung saang dealership ka pumunta or kung sino man agent na nagbebenta
yep exactly! at wag papa sales talk sa agent. you're buying the car, not the agent, hehe. ang trabaho ng agent is to assist in signing the paperwork, LTO related stuff, etc. most of them don't know the technical details...
She said “RIIIGGGHHHHHTTT~~”
Pag mababa kasi ang headroom sure yan mainit sa loob pag mabilid sa araw ng matagal.
Leandre, which car would you choose among the 3 cars you featured?
I want to know what Janelle eventually picks.
One factor they forget to mention is the advantage of having a hybrid car. You will be exempted sa Number Coding kaya daily drive mo sya the full week.
I didnt know that using a hybrid car in the Philippines exemp you from coding. But another advantage of using toyota hybrid cars is fuel consumption, you can run in pure electric specially if your battery is full in traffic around 30kph, meaning you are not using your petrol at all..here in europe 90% of taxi's are fullhybrid about 80% is toyota. Next week ill be driving my new toyota yaris hybrid 2024.
For me, i choose Mitsubishi X-Force. Cause of the looks nya kasi ang cute nya tignan 😊❤ kasi kung titignan mo sya sa malayo ang ganda nya tignan dhil sa face nya. 😊
Ang kulang lang talaga sa kanya ay 360 camera which is ok lang naman kung wala. Depende na lang talaga sa some parts nya na depends na lang on the price na pwedeng ilagay ayun sa looks nya like LCD screen na 9 to 10” ang lapad then upgrade some parts na pwedeng ikalakas ng appeal nya 😊 yun lang naman basta yung sa price nya pwedeng ilagay ni mitsubishi kung anu man pwede ilagay 🙂
A bit more confidence sana out of one of the SE's in this vid. Won't mention what brand but compared to the other two, that SE felt way less confident and precise.
Not surprised with the HRV tho, feels better to drive esp for girls who don't look after steering feel and dynamics and only wants the lightest steering and a smaller footprint. Somewhat a no brainer already tbh.
You should have tested similarly priced vehicles so that it would be under 1.5M which is also consistent with your title😏
Antay lng ako mag comment dito "mas maganda china andyan na lahat ng features sulit na sulit tapos lahat na ng produkto made in china kagaya ng iphone"
I learned it first hand how shitty chinese cars were the metal they used is so bad once it rust it never stops, headlight yellowing, and parts availability and because you'd expect "china car dapat mura lng pyesa" hahaha depende parin yan sa dealership price gouging at its finest. Oo i phone gawa na ng china pero headquarters parin sa USA ang pumipili ng quality ng mga pyesa sa assembly nila. Naging made in china lng yung mga branded kasi mura lng labor doon. Di katulad ng chinese company and chinese manufactured grabe cost cutting🤣
Maganda ang toyota sa engine lalo na sa auto mabilis ang response keysa honda, si toyota pa apak mo sa gas walang delay compare sa honda.
matulugan mo talaga yung toyota agent
Even if you put yaris cross. Yaris cross will crush those 2 cars
Napaka insecure ng mga zero or low downpayment boys sa chinese cars 😂 If di niyo gusto, wag na isingit pa. Di niyo kasi kayang i-admit na napagiwanan na ang mga “JDM” na made in Thailand, India, Philippines. Oh bago kayo umepal, Mazda boy ako pero I acknowledge na iwan na iwan na talaga mga pinagmamalaki niyong Thailander / Indian / PH JDMs.
Indonesians
Just go for Toyota Corolla Cross HEV.
Ako, di na ako umaasa sa sales rep na maexplain lahat. mali mali talaga or ang iba di expereinced. Ako na lang mag reresearch. Test drive, comfort, utility na lang, kapag pumunta na sa dealership.
Sales people should really know their vehicle and emphasize their advantages. The toyota guy doesnt seem to want to sell their vehicle and the mitsubishi guy doesnt know his vehicle. If I am not a car guy the Honda would be my choice. But i dont like the transmission and engine of the hrv.
Sales rep ng Toyota inuna ung looks at porma eh, di man lng nag assign ng mahusay tlga kumausap.
Bakit walang chinese cars? Magagalit ang Geely Marites!! 😂
HRV ftw!
On this segment, may top 3 choice na din within segment ang hanap ng kotse. So wala sa choice ni future car owner ang Any Chinese Brands and Geely. Hope this helps 😊
No chinese cars because the buyer is after the market value over 3 to 5 years,. And tested durability.
Kung sales rep impression lang, doon na ako sa Honda.
Kung may Yaris Cross panalo na si yaris cross
Mitsubishi x force is way too expensive to what it offers.. I look forward for this car last yr,,only to be disappointed
Taob lahat yan sa Territory!! haha
Ehh kaso wala sa choice nya because she considers also reliability,
Sana sinama yun kia sonet the best yun
Para sakin ang daming pros non hehe
HRV wala pang HEV.
The Ford territory is a good option.
yaris cross better
try the chinese brand ...ok nman i owned one.
Too many Chinese Bots popping up here.
Mismo
Sheesh your generation is so complicated nowadays if you love it but it. Never buy something about features always select reliability...
Are you saying that they should only buy based on reliability? Because that was one of her biggest concerns, if you're saying the opposite then disregard.
Mas pipiliin ko both kasi yoko rin naman ng sige sobrang reliable nung kotse pero di ka naman nageenjoy idrive kasi antagtag, ambigat ng steering, etc gusto ko nageenjoy din ako idrive lol
Hahaha oo mag rely ka sa reliability para binabayaran mo full price yung kotse mo na di mo naman ma enjoy tapos after 3 or 5 years benta mo ng depreciated sa next buyer na makakabili ng sasakyang pinag tiisan mo idrive at full value na less value nya nabili pero same reliability. Best choice nga yan. 0 enjoyability, 100 reliability.
@@SheenDuguil hahaha nadale mo
Just saying why not get something that is proven and tested most of the cars nowadays are the same they all have power features transmissions external features etc... enjoy it for sure you guys know very well which 20yrs old model of cars that are still running till now
MITSHUBISHI XFORCE....👍
just go for emzoom
Tech wise and specs wise sulit na sulit na sa pricepoint nya kaso kung kasama ka sa mga emzoom groups andaming issues nunf kotse mismo like door handle issue, sunroof, tranny issue.
+ maintenance nunf kotse lalo na yung camel brown finish sa mga seats nya ang hirap imaintain.
Sulit ang emzoom. Yung mga problems ng emzoom usually isolated cases and under warranty naman. Yun lang pahirapan talaga sa parts. Pwede pa yung 3 months waiting sa parts since most of the newer cars in the market kahit japanese or korean can take that long pero yung 6-9 months waiting naku yun ang di okay.
@@SheenDuguil member ako ng tatlong emzoom groups nakikita ko puro issue sa kotse mismo tas yung service ng GAC haha owner na mismo nagrereklamo ah na ambagal kumilos ng casa. Cinonsider ko rin dati yan first choice kasi nadismaya ako nung nakikita ko andami reklamo ng owners haha pero sa honda hrv wala ako nakita ni isang reklamo sa kotse mismo or service.
i agree kahit japanese car toyota fortuner i waited almost 2 months s parts nya s braking system.
Japanese crossovers flop
😂
Right... Right.. Rigtht...
