TOYOTA Launches New Sporty Variant Toyota Vios GR-S
Wednesday, March 10, 2021
Missed this earlier because my YouTube account wasn't viewing the livestream, but the good people at Toyota sent us important information about the new Toyota Viios GR-S variant. This was built with their TOYOTA GAZOO Racing brand (who developed guided its creation) in mind and yes, it looks absolutely impressive. The passenger car gets an upgrade and they made it motorsports worthy.
According to Toyota Motors Philippines President Atsuhiro Okamoto, he says "In the country, there are over 340,000 owners of the VIOS model. They know these are the most reliable, tried and tested which serve as their companion in their daily lives. We want every ride to be more pleasurable hence the Vios GR-S. Whether on the track or on the road, this will give you the thrill in your everyday drive."
It's going to be available on March 15, 2021 and if you haven't seen it yet in person, maybe a visit to your local dealership would be fine while observing protocols. As for aesthetics, this has a more sporty look hence the striking exterior, especially the front bumper, grille, aerokit and spoiler. Aside from that, the interiors look immaculate with the stitching and suede material on its seats. The 10-speed CVT transmission variety also has 7 airbags + clearance sonars with your safety in mind. It comes in White Pearl Crystal Shine, Super Red V or Black 1 colorways. SRP is around Php 1,020,000-1,035,000.

Get Your Dream TOYOTA with Balloon Payment Plus
Wednesday, January 06, 2021
Looks like TOYOTA is making it easier and more attractive for you to own your dream car. Well, let's just say I saw this offer online earlier and by the looks of it, it sounds mighty nice. They call it Balloon Payment Plus. This is offered by house financing corp, Toyota Financial Services Philippines. Basically, when you get a car from them using this option, it will come with periodic maintenance during the finance term and really nice end of term options.
How nice? Your car basically has a guaranteed future value so if you fancy a new car in the future (when your financing term is ending), you can use that value to pay for your brand new car. Like for instance, you've got a 20 to 30 percent of the vehicle price as down payment. If you choose a 24-month finance term, you can get 45 percent lump sum amount of the vehicle price, plus get a resale value at 55%. That's already quite high to tell you honestly, and it rids you of all the problems of getting a new car (which you like) and none of the mumbo jumbo of thinking how to resell your previous one. Sounds good? It is.
Participating cars include all Toyota Vios varieties, the Corolla Cross 1.8V Hybrid car, the Toyota Hilux (MC) Conquest, G, E and all the Toyota Fortuner (MC) models. So if you want to avail one, or more, go check out toyota.com.ph/balloon-payment-plus. You can also get in touch with them via 02-7757-8500 or their email addy feedback@toyotafinancial.ph or their site toyotafinancial.ph.
Don't forget to invite me to a ride if you do!

The Importance of Automobile Repair and Education
Saturday, May 14, 2011

Cars have been one of the things we always dream of. It's one of those high ticket items that you thought would celebrate your social status and get you where you want to go. Although these days; owning one has become a necessity. When you get it we don't expect the actual cost of logistics and maintenance and think that everything will be perfect. If there was something I learned about the hard way in owning one this would be it. The short drives to and from the office that I do always was smooth until the car broke down in the middle of the road. I didn't know panic until that day boy was it a great big introduction. It got stuck in a main thoroughfare and people were already honking in every direction. I did not know who to call since I was totally clueless about car repair. When I thought that was enough; my cell phone battery also went dead. This was one of those days when you wish it shouldn't have happened. The situation called for an expert and I almost ran out of luck. Good thing a friend saw me there and immediately went out of his way to help me put the car at the side of the road; and eventually get some help.
The car was pulled out and I had to go back to work. I talked to the technicians and they said I need to have the car diagnosed to see why it wouldn't start. I know it was going to be expensive but I had no idea what would be the justifiable price range. It was the first time I was going to do this and I did not want to be charged incorrectly for it. There are several shops within my area but since I had warranty they got my 2003 Toyota PRIUS sent to the actual manufacturer. The repair estimate was done fast after that and it would have cost me a fortune if not for the warranty they employed. I was so glad they covered it otherwise I wouldn't have the funds to spend for that. Finally; luck was able to catch up with me.
That was the time that I knew I had to learn a thing or two about how to fix things. If you go out totally clueless about something that you own there would come a time that you would need a whole car encyclopedia to understand things. Good thing there are reputable sites like REPAIRPAL.COM that you can look at when you need all the help you can get. Check them out if you need help about repair estimates, car terminology that you need to understand or simply get someone to help you within your area. It's a good thing!

Jazzing Up My TOYOTA!
Saturday, April 24, 2010

I have been contemplating on purchasing another truck or car these days because I am in dire need of something that would be able to outperform my old one from MITSUBISHI. The old one however has been very dependable on out of town trips and can accommodate big bodied passengers like my family where almost everyone is over 200 pounds. One important criterion even then was legroom and its look. I don t really settle for the ordinary stock car and I try my best to make it more adept to the trend most customization shops do. I plan to get a TOYOTA CAMRY so I have something to use if I m going out at night. Toyota accessories will be a priority so I could begin to jazz it up. I would not want it to look like the stock cars of course! It will show up in one of our conversations over dinner and I m sure my brother would hate it if I did not do it. It is a little urgent too because I need it for work and my hobby of photography. It’s just that our house is a little cramped because of the vehicles we have parked inside. We might need to tear down the room downstairs so we have ample amount of car parking space. The location where I live unfortunately has some problem with security. My Uncle just a few months ago lost his pick up truck and has never been seen until now. He got a new one and it’s a TOYOTA too. I would gladly buy him accessories from on line stores like CARID.COM so at least he has something to be thankful about that incident.
I would really love getting this new ride as soon as I get my hands on my annual bonus. I’ll dedicate a whole day for that too! I'm going to start looking for that TOYOTA now!
