Got something to add? Don’t hesitate to drop by our comments section!
all cars are really nice.thanks for thanks this type of blog.-honda car price in bangladesh
IMO. Would be better if you’ve done more research about cars. I know that you are trying to expand your range of topics here, but just like what Mr. Dalvin said “stick to gadgets and leave car reviews to people who are actually in the industry” would be a better idea.
These cars may have a pair of doors, but it doesn’t mean that they are already considered as “SPORTS CAR”
what about top 10 affordable sportbikes in the philippines
you should’ve included the Subaru WRX priced at 1.8m and WRX STi priced at 2.4m
those are serious contenders for the sports car category in the PH.
Agree. I thought i would see both the wrx and the wrx sti on the list. The actual cost of the sti is 2.495m.
Sorry but its funny seeing that kia on the list lol.
We already have a Subaru in the list so we gave way to other brands.
by the definition of sports cars, only 3 are true sports car. And not even the mustang.
AFFORDABLE? on what standards? lol..
Feeling may pambili ang writer ng article. Katotohanan nagko-commute lang ang lokong yan.
We actually review some of the cars in the list since the brands loaned them to us — that includes the Honda CR-Z and the Ford Mustang.
review, lol. loaned, lol. stick to gadgets and leave car reviews to people who are actually in the industry. i’m willing to bet none of you have ever owned a “sports car” or anything remotely close to one. one more thing, affordable? LOOOL.
Ayun! Inggit much? Kayo ba pinapahiram ng kotse ng libre? Mag tayo kayo ng sarili nyong blog at magsulat ng top 10 nyo.
@silenz:
In defense of sir Abe, there was a post back then airing his musings on whether to get a Hyundai Genesis Coupe (tama ba? didn’t try looking for that post again hehe) or a SUV. Being a family guy (I guess), the SUV went into his garage. Later, Mr. Francisco reviewed the Hyundai Genesis Coupe (a yellow one!) on a separate post. So, yes, mukhang kaya naman niyang bumili ng mga tulad niyan.
top 10 best super mini cars in philippines.
How about
Affordable SUV sold in the Philippines…
Thanks
Since when did these become “Sports Cars”?
Agree. Disappointed no Minis *facepalm*
At Mini Philippines, the Mini Cooper Cabriolet by BMW is listed at PHP 2,5 Million
Check the You Tube Review..

I’m interested to see a top 10 list of cars with the best mileage ratings specially hybrid cars in the Philippines!
diba soldout na lahat ng mx-5 25th anniv.edition?
Hello po sir Yuga! My goal is to have a Honda CR-Z Broom! Broom! Broooom!
Ganda niyan. Rode in one before.
ako din.. My dream to have it too..
Sayang, ‘di pasok ang Evo 10.
The “d” in BMW’s 118d denotes a diesel engine. The power and torque figures of 170PS/200Nm don’t really match a diesel engine’s output. Maybe you meant to write 118i instead of 118d?
A quick Wikipedia search says the power/torque figures you’ve quoted in this article correspond to the 118i. The 118d’s power figures has a more torquey 143PS/300Nm ratio.
Wishful thinking on my part, but I would love to have a sports car for less than 2 million with an efficient diesel engine. Who needs horsepower in a country where every few kilometers of road is a work in progress?
I’d put those fuel savings for the car’s maintenance. It’s a BMW anyway. Sooner or later, something’s bound to break.
Lol, loko. Who needs horsepower tapos gusto mo ng sports car na efficient, na diesel na less than 2m pa.
Kunwari sports car gusto mo. Lol.
We missed that. Thanks for noticing!
Yeah right. Bakit nga ba? Naturingan pa namang German made car pero mas reliable pa ang Toyota :)
hahaha. sports car for less than 2M? hmmm. yeahn its posible if there are some defect inside of it.
i want to have mustang soon. hahaah. hopefully.
