    Sus kahit anong kotse pa yan, if you’re driving anywhere outside a straight and relatively empty expressway, it’s more a matter of the driver than the car.

    Malalaman mo sino mabilis when you go to a track with equal machinery. Or worse, I know people with tuned sports cars talo pa ng naka-Mirage na 1.2 sa Clark.

    You buy a fast car for your enjoyment. If you buy it to try and go faster than other people, it’ll be sad when you encounter a reckless subcompact driver who happens to swerve better and pick better lines on public roads.

    Amen to that! Lakasan lang talaga ng loob. May iba dyan, kinakabahan na ng 120kmh.

    I mean, if he compared a 265hp powered car to an Innova, most probably people think diesel PPVs and pick ups are fast... only in their mind.

    Asa pa makahabol Innova dyan. By the way, you can tune that EJ25 to around 400hp when paired with the 5AT tranny.

    Is This Ancient Renault Faster Than An Aston Martin, Bentley and BMW? | The Grand Tour - YouTube

    Reminds me of this

    The car doesnt matter in real world conditions

    Of course it matters in open expressways

    If you want quick and fast cars, turbo petrol is the best choice.

    Same story with my test drive of a friend's 2013-2018 Subaru Forester XT. Di makahabol yung Fortuner (2nd gen 2016-) at yung Everest 3.2L sa SLEX.

    Yes. nasa isip ko lang yung pagkabilis ng Innova or Fortuner or any similar vehicle na turbo diesel. I already drove the Innova 2nd gen which has a potent 2.8L engine it can do 200+ kph, still it out accelerated by the Forester XT or any turbocharged gasoline engined car or an SUV with more than 250+ HP. The Forester felt more like a rocket ship compared to the Innova's fighter plane acceleration.

    It's just the torque (lakas hatak) that I felt on the Innova/Fortuner 2.8L (or any PPV). Because of the peak torque of the GD engines at early RPMs I considered them so "fast".

    I use to drive a non turbo gas vehicle now. Before I daily drive a 2.5L D4D Innova. Sanay na kasi ako sa common rail turbo diesel.

    Depends on the car too. On a really fast car you can reach those high speeds fairly quickly. Sandali lang over 200kph ka na, vs taking a slow car up to that speed ang tagal mo naka baon sa accelerator.

    "Slow car fast" is a lot scarier on the public roads.
