    i didn't even know you could go to Sagada in a sedan now...

    i've always wanted to go back to Sagada but i don't want to take the bus.

    would it be too damaging to our 8-month old Mazda3 to take it to Sagada? i don't want to risk using our old Mazda 626 baka bumigay yung makina somewhere...

    BTW i've driven to Baguio three times with the 626, which has a damaged sensor limiting it to 2500rpm. Kaya naman... di lang maka overtake sa trucks minsan (due to the damaged sensor). Never overheated or anything.

    It depends on the schedule of the Ferry boats...our trip took us 36 hours from Manila to Davao, with occasional stops (eat, restrooms, gas fill), may reliever driver kasama.

    Kasi naman that road's a bit too far north. Pero going to/from northern La Union, that's the quickest route.

    I've taken both cars of mine on a long haul trip to San Francisco from Los Angeles and back, up the Grapevine and through the flats of I-5, and on the twisty roads of Gilroy and the steep ones in SF. Total distance would be around 2000km plus, combined, for both trips.

    For sure I can take them to Baguio no problems. One of them is 18 years old and the other just turned 25 too.

    ive been in baguio for several times and my rides are;

    MB 190e 1985 sarap i-drive ang benz lakas ng torque.

    Kia Pregio 2.7 GS, 4x ko na dinala sa baguio 3x sa kennon at 1x sa marcos with my family - 10 passengers, the van never get overheated as others say.

    anyway kind of vehicles are candidate sa overheating kung hindi maganda ang cooling system. I like my pregio even its only has decent power pero yung comfortability and space mas maganda pa sa hi-ace. Im a tall person kaya swak sa akin ang pregio, my sister bought grandia pero ang sikip para sa akin ang driver seat tumatama ang siko ko sa window.
