Toyotas are great vehicles. I've owned and driven many Toyotas even up to now. They are reliable vehicles and have a good resale value.
I taught my filipina wife to drive now she is driving more than me, don't waste money on lesson just take Jane to a quiet area and teach her, buy a Toyota you can't go wrong with that.
Same here.
She actually thought herself to drive. Once I showed her the basics she kept at it until she figured it out. (Manual)
Now a 3-4 hour journey is nothing to her
Hubby teach me we end up fighting 😂😂 he’s nephew did 😂I’m proud of myself driving the Texas way😂
Toyota Hylux is the best for the Philippines.
Teaching your wife how to drive is good but still she still needs to go and enroll in a driving school that is required by the LTO. The theoretical and driving. Ones she passed the test from the theoretical and the driving lesson that's the time she will be given a certificate that she can get a student permit to drive with the assistance from a non prof driver beside her.
5:56 Hey Adam. Nothing is too big. You just have to get used to it and adapt how to drive. I have a lady friend who is smaller than Jane she drives a Toyota Fortuner 2023
Hi Adam you got a good body not thin anymore Jane is really good in taking care of you😊.
Dude buy a scooter aswell so that you don’t have to use the car always. Maybe have a rear box aswell for trips to the market. Automatic scooter . It’s fun also
All my cars are Toyota brand and so far, no issues encountered, My RAV 4 & land cruiser are 7 yrs old and Hi Lux is 8 yrs old. Excellent choice for Toyota brand.
When we moved to Cebu I purchased a new Toyota Conquest. The problem with used vehicles is you don't know how well they were maintained by the previous driver or drivers. Well unless you know the owner and trust him as far as the maintenance. Good luck with the car shopping. I love Toyotas.
just came back from the Phil. and i realized that it is a necessity to get a car if you are in the province. An SUV would be very ideal to have because it is higher specially that it alwasys rain and can easily be flooding in the street. My wife use to drive a small car in the beginning but when she got a Van which is higher it made her more comfortable because she got a better view of other cars near her and she said that that gave her secure and safe feeling.. Since filipinos are family oriented with a big car you can easily bring other people with you and that makes the ride more fun. One reason that a car is a necessity is when somebody is sick you always need a vehicle because the hospital is quite far.So for any emergency and errand purposes a car is always practical to have.A japanese or korean car is better to have than american one because the maintenance is cheaper and spare parts can be easily found.A dual electric and gas motor would be best because you can save half of the gasoline cost.
Get the Toyota Raize it’s good value for money and the riding position is exactly what your wife wants. The sports a bit better but the price difference doesn’t give you much more if you’re on a budget. My friend has one and loves it. It’s very easy to park considering how much space you have inside the car.
I got a Wigo 2 years ago. At 6ft1 I can sit in the drivers seat no problem good lock for turning. Only me and the wife so don’t need more room. Live halfway between Manila and Pampanga. Hour 15 mins in either direction. The other good thing is the wife learnt to drive in this car so a really good beginners car. One thing you must get is a decent set of cameras just in case.
Toyota all day long. I'm kiwi and first car was Toyota station wagon, then Camry and now Corolla. Corolla is 2004 with 359,000km and never been in the garage for repairs. Regular oil change and tyres, Toyota are the best.!
I have not driven a car in almost 12 years. Decided one day just to stop driving. But my wife has a 2019 Suzuki Celerio--one liter/5 speed. She loves to drive. Going somewhere--doing something. We also have a 2000 Toyota Revo suv as back up. For its age in excellent condition with no rust. Since we seldom use it not registered. Maybe take a bunch of people down to the beach which is a 5 minute drive.
I can't wait to get back to Ormoc. I'll be living in Sto. Nino barangay. I miss the Philippines and my lady there even more. Looking forward to meeting you someday there. Have a blessed day
Shopping for a new car is one of my favorite pass times, although I rarely do it as I keep my cars very long. Believe it or not: I'm only driving my fifth car here in Belgium over a span of 45 years. As for your question "should I do more of this" (filming in the city or any other place you go), my answer is a definite "yes"! You have a beautiful garden, but some variation is always pleasant. Hope you regain your mobility soon!
Suggestion to you folks, if it is possible do not get dark in color. It is good for safety driving when it’s getting dark to have a light/bright colored vehicle. Pearl white would be ideal.❤
Common problem of car parks and the city is so disorganized with their city planning that’s why different kind of transportation are almost occupying sidewalks and leaves pedestrians fight their safety crossing the road.Most rural towns and cities have similar issues and there no rules on some of them.
Magandang hapon po Adam and Jane from Las Piñas, NCR MM
😀 I live down south near Hilongos and I taught my wife to drive then she got her license legally from the LTO.
I wanted a Mitsubishi Triton or Strada but the wife found it too large, so we settled on a fully loaded Vitara which has great mileage with fold down seats etc -- it's fully loaded unlike other Suzuki cars.
In the meantime you could buy an automatic scooter with a carry box on the rear.
My wife uses a scooter when I need the car. It's far cheaper than gassing up a car 😊
My wife put blood pressure thru the roof teaching her to drive,,but all good now .
Wow subrang ganda na ng ormoc ngayon kesa na jan ako sa ormoc nong year 1987_88
Hi Adam and Jane, I'm an old Cop, Traffic. The size of the vehicle is irrelevant, they are all the same from a drivers perspective. Small car is no different from a larger car, trust me. Jane will quickly adapt to any vehicle regardless of the size. The Veloz looks the nicer and more roomy. Your choice of course. Yes, about the Pinoy dogs, we had them on Cebu. They can be very vicious towards each other, even from the same litter. Thats strange? What happened with the Montero Sport, did you lose interest in it? Make arrangements with a tricycle driver for personal pickups, offer a higher and more attractive amount and get their cellphone number for when you need them. No hanging around guys? Bob n Lina.
Hi guys... what happened to your vehicle? Maybe just contact a tricycle driver that can be depend or dependable available when you need it... good luck
@@edpalstv4136 the timing chain snapped not long after a service and may have wrecked the engine.
@@raymonde4272 It was a timing belt rather than a chain. Timing chains are not known to break, but belts are. But whatever, if this happens the engine can seize, not a good ending.
Yaris Cross would be nice...
Hi, it's not often you're in a position on deciding which car to choose. I always cherish these kinds of situation rather than just daydreaming or window shopping. Hi from NZ
Nice ! The many bits and pieces of life in PI….nice seeing the flora and fauna along the way and the city too…🙏🏻👍🏻👏🕊
Yaris Cross V CVT would have been better. It's feature packed than the Raize. It has higher maintenance cost though when the time comes that you already need to change stuff like the brake pads as it has disk brakes in the front and rear. The tires are bigger too, so more expensive 😅 I noticed too that the Yaris' suspension isn't comfortable.
Godbless your family and wishing your channel more subscribers.
Its everyone decision in buying anything like cars. It was my dream driving my own car a brand new one but thingking many times i decided in buying a second suv.
I absolutely love Ormoc City. When I am in the Philippines with my family, we have a house in Cabucgayan, Biliran Island. We visit Ormoc City a few times a month. Fortunately, we do have a car so that really helps. By the way, what happened to your car from before?
its a brilliant decision if you buy a toyota vehicle ... mine is a toyota vios and its dependable car ... 👍
É legal ver sempre esse visual espetacular dás filipinas, adoro ese pais, ❤
It's good to stay in Ormoc Leyte. I think you already adjusted. I like the story in your Vlog.
New subscriber. Love your videos. Stay safe my friends. God bless you both. 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thank you so much my friend. Have a wonderful day and keep safe always 😊
its a nice decision guys you need a car. so you dont have problems in commuting especially when trike is few or sometimes none in the streets.im sure isabella will be happy if you get a car😊
It’s looking like we will my friend but just need to work everything out. God bless you 😊
try the toyota ute , can't go wrong
Oh no brother. No Car sucks. I know. But I am to scared to drive the car here. Bike for town trips. Don't make a lot of trips to the city.
I think you need a pickup as you do garden/farm works!
Hi Adam and Jane, we live in Cebu and have a Toyota, they offer very good service and they are well distributed in the Philippines. Think about getting a small bike as well makes it easy to run to the shop an in Ormoc its safe with much lighter traffic compared to Cebu. My wife is originally from Kananga so know we the area well .
Hi Adam, Jane, if i’m you I would really research about the pros and cons of buying an EV or a hybrid. Battery replacement is an enormously expensive. Used Toyotas or Hondas are actually very reliable.
👍👍👍
Wife and I are building a house there in Ormoc. I will be watching your videos more to find the good places to eat 🙂 Probably will be visiting the Toyota dealer too when the time comes. LOL I have never been to the Philippines but if Trimp gets elected I will be there PDQ (my escape plan!).
A seven seater with ample cargo space would be right. Have also to consider the skill level of your driver with the medium sized high torqued suv. Third maintenance if there are good service shops around besides the dealer who often charge expensive because of the warranty
Modern engines are practical and fuel efficient while having power. It’s 7 gears and turbo really make it easy. The warranty and repairs are easy in this type of car too. Wouldn’t trust many garages here to repair it except Tomas 4x4 from experience. We have a Mitsubishi Montero Sport and I can honestly say the driving experience is comparable. The Raize has more initial power and can easily cruise at 80-100kph without exceeding 2k revs. It’s a joy to drive! 😊
You both made a good decision now in buyning a toyota
Nice garden and byutipol house ❤
Thank you so much my friend 😊
I bought a beloz last year cash and I pay a lot more than that.I bought it in tacloban I guess I got rep off
I was a fan until I saw what you did to that water hose 😢
I think Raize is best fit for you Adam
5:55 hey adam. Nothing is too big. You just have to get used to it or adapt how to drive. I have a lady friend who is smaller than Jane she drives a Toyota Fortuner 2023. Just put in front and back camera and some sensors front and back and she will be ok. I remember when i had my driving lesson i had to drive a toyota wigo but our car was toyota Hilux pick up. The first and the second car options are good but it depends now to your budget.
I totally agree my friend when you are experienced at driving. Jane really doesn’t fancy such a big car to begin with. I’m sure in time she’ll be ok with both. Thank you 😊
Hey adam. The third option not so sure. If maybe if it was a mini Cooper just like Mr. Bean. I wouldn't think twice. Just like the movie The Italian job 2003 Jason Statham stars.
Just get a tricycle man. Aha, getting a Toyota, can’t go wrong with that. Your place is ideal for a motor or tricycle, get one for backup.
Hi Adam, you know when a timing belt snapped while driving there's really an engine damage. If you let the Motor Shop have it fixed it would cause you a huge amount of money to spend.
My best advise is better replace it with a new or surplus engine.
It’s all good my friend. Our latest vlog has an update but short story is it’s repairable 😊
Hope you get a suitable vehicle, as not having one takes alot of patience and time.
they should make a route for a bus in your area. the population has increased in the last decade and tricycles can no longer accommodate the people.
RAIZE OR VELOZ BETTER FOR YOUR FAMILY THAN THE PRICEY SMALL YARIS.
It's strange seeing Jane behind the wheel of a car as you normally drive Adam. If buying a new car then perhaps it should be your main one.
And yes I would like to see more day in the life videos in the city.
We bought a toyota rush we really like
A great car my friend 😊
Im sure your back pack is loaded with Cash😂
Why don't you inquire about mitsubishi xpander cross mr adam..,it's a medium size suv...
Nice car 🚗 ❤
Thank you 🤗
Good looking Veloz❤❤just 1 M good deal❤
Great car my friend 😊
Why not get a Mitsuibishi...2nd biggest selling car in the Phils..apparantly.
We have a Mitsubishi my friend 😊
The suzuki Spresso which is small and higher ground clearance will be cheaper than the toyota Raize
The Suzuki has 180mm and the Raize 200mm. The difference in the cars is very big in terms of power, safety and reliability. God bless you 😊
TOYOTA EXPANDER my friend its beautiful and ASTIG i don't know what is ASTIG in English.
Expander is not toyota
No car is a nightmare. We live in semi rural Wales (shout out to the U.K. 😎) and the bus/train service is very limited. We bit the bullet for reliability and warranty, luckily we only need one car as we are both within walking distance of work but shopping (apart from the local Tesco) or a trip to the ‘proper’ hospital is a 40 mile drive. Also health insurance is of upmost importance. Never scrimp on your health 🤓
What happen to your 2nd hand car?
Hi Adam, John here from Canada.
I bought a toyota wigo and its 7 years old now. Had to replace the head gasket but nothing else. If you maintain the car especially oil and filter change they last a long time. A suggestion would be to see if they offer a vehicle with a timing chain instead of a belt,then you don’t have to worry about replacing it
Good luck and God bless you all.
Hi John, thank you so much. The cars we are looking at all have timing chains. You can’t go wrong either Toyota. We are going through the options. God bless you my friend 😊
I second the wigo
Get that car. 👍
We did my friend. Thank you so much 😊
I would prefer the Yaris Cross. Bigger power and better reviews from cars websites.
The 1.0 Raize has more torque and HP is virtually the same but the Raize is FAR better in fuel economy 😊
Toyota Hilux is the best for the Phillipines.
You can’t go wrong with a Toyota.
Maayong hapon bai adam
Maayong hapon my good friend 😊
Any negotiating on the price for a new automobile?
I like the out and about in your local city vlog!
Always ask as yes you can get discounts and extras my friend 😊
If I were you, if you money buy a big truck like Toyota ot Ford pickup or SUV
Hello I’m one of your subscribers
Just watch your latest vlog
just curious about what happened to your suv?
By the way Im in California
and I use to have an automotive repair shop here.
But we do still have 2 shops in the Philippines (Pampanga)
If you need some advice
Please let me know
We have updates about it in our latest vlog my friend. God bless you 😊
Thank you so much for your kind offer. It really means a lot to us 😊
YOU BUY MONTERO SPORT ADAM ITS A NICE CAR LIKE US, PEARL WHITE ITS FIT FOR JANE GOOD FOR THE FLOODS
Having a car is a necessity
Completely agree my friend for being able to see family, shop, travel the country, pick up parcels, safety and convenience 😊
Better to buy a big car in these countries for better protection
Hi where in the uk did you live
In Bristol my friend 😊
Rent a bike till you get your car.
You must be wealthy?
No my friend. Just well prepared and saved a lot of backup money when in the UK. We will explain in the next vlog our decision and how we manage to do it 😊
A bigger car was much better for you,you can have more space if you buy something big and at the same time ,more people can ride it
The clown (isabella) wasn't in the vlog why? Just joking 😄😄😄
Very busy with schoolwork and project my friend. She will return to the vlogs 😊
1.0 horsepower. OMG really bad. Economical but your smaller engine has to work harder to keep the speed up. Your car will conked out sooner being overworked especially if lots of uphill journey or carrying heavy loads. Poor engine power. Go if at least 2.0 horsepower. BAD BAD choice.
Do you know about cars my friend? The power and torque in a 1.0 turbo is virtually the same as 1.5 engine but is far more fuel efficient. In the world we live in people are choosing smaller more economical engines. We have a 2.5 diesel and after driving both you’d be surprised how the 1.0 turbo performs. It certainly is not underpowered or slow. You should really read up about modern car engines. Seriously. You might be surprised! Yes, I’ve owned many cars from 1.0 to 2.5 before and driving normally here in the Philippines stop start or highway, the 1.0 is by FAR the better choice. By FAR! Have you driven in the cities here? 😊
@@AdamandJanesLifestylea good and well founded reply.
All this talk about big engines..... small engines not able to stick the pace......
A multicab is 670cc and they are everywhere and go everywhere
@@gerbourke1952 thank you my friend and exactly right! Bigger engines are not better especially here where there is a lot of traffic. Just wasted power and fuel. A bigger car is only better if your journey is constantly long, open highways. God bless you 😊
@@AdamandJanesLifestyle if I may suggest that if you buy a lot that you buy what we call a "merrytiller"
I bought one 2 years ago. It came with wheels, rotovator blades and furrow plough.
I bought a reversible plough for it and built a simple trailer for it to pull.
A little 7hp petrol engine.
There isn't a day that it's not used for something.
It has been super reliable and extremely easy to use. Even my mother in law (who cannot drive) will use it if she wants to buy drinking water or a sack of rice or carry vegetables from her garden.
She even gave it a name "doro"
Definitely the best 23k I have ever spent there.
Kindest regards, Ger and Jessa
@@gerbourke1952 that’s very useful my friend. Thank you so much! Will consider. God bless you both 😊
Get a motorcycle, gez dude you already got a tattoo. I taught my Filipina to drive in the US. Worst job I ever had. She will probably get a Raize or a Rush. Make sure you have good insurance by September. Driving in Ormoc will be more dangerous. If Jane’s drives like my wife we’re doomed. I still have plenty of turkeys, you can have a breeding pair for free. Give a Filipino a rooster and he goes to the cock fight, give him a turkey and ?
You gained weight Adam which is makes you younger looking
U NEED A CAR TOP OF THE LINE I SUGGEST MONTERO SPORTS FOR UR FAMILY
With the Cam Belt Failure Adam
The mileage you are talking about this is most unusual to say the least......Has it been Clocked I am wondering...SUSPICIOUS to say the least.
Definitely not clocked my friend. Will get answers this week. My suspicion is the original cam belt was still in the car and it wasn’t changed but I hope I’m wrong! God bless you 😊
