The 2018 Equinox wraps its stiffer, stronger structure in sleeker, more refined bodywork and LED-infused front/rear lights that add sophistication to the vehicles look.Inside, the cabin reflects Chevys latest design thinking and matches more upscale trim bits with one of two MyLink infotainment systems that offer support for Android Auto and Apple CarPla y as well as an available OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.Although its second-row split bench no longer has fore/aft adjustability, the new fixed design maintains just as much legroom and the backs now fold virtually flat for greater utility while creating up to 63.5 cu ft of cargo space.

2018 Chevrolet Equinox Release Date, Price and Specs
A coworker told me that the Chevrolet Equinox is probably the most-hyped vehicle the automaker produces, save for its performance models.Thats because the Equinox is wildly popular, and with the all-new 2018 Equinox, Im thinking the masses will start overcrowding dealerships to the point where fire marshals need to get inv olved.Looks-wise, the Equinox follows along the same lines as the Volt, Cruze and other new Chevrolet models.

Used Car Review Mercedes Benz MB100 1996 2003

Planning to put up a school bus business? Myk Belmonte offers you one prospective vehicle especially if you are cash strapped.

1996-2003 Mercedes Benz MB100

History
SsangYong and Daimler Benz entered to an agreement of which the two will share technologies for their Musso (which means rhinoceros in Korean and not some wrong translation) SUV without the Korean brand spending too much for development and at the same time Mercedes Benz would have an Sport Ute in their line up. The Korean brand was the benefactor of this partnership with them selling the Istana (a rebadged MB100, which is our topic for this article), and utilizing Benz engines, transmissions, and chassis in the Korando, Rexton, Chairman H, and Kyron.

The MB100 featured here is totally unrelated from the vehicle that the Vito replaced. This is a van that has a different body styling and SsangYong had a licensed version called the Istana. Available in m ost markets in 1995, while they use virtually the same, only the names are different in most markets. 2003 was the last year one can buy this brand new either in standard or long wheel base versions.

Commercial Motors Corporation brought this van in the Philippines in 1996 and became an instant hit among the rich and ambulance operators due to the spacious cabin it had. The badge reads Mercedes without swallowing their pride and having the fear of being kidnapped. The full size van market declined one by one and the MB100 was a victim of it, discontinued from the line-up seven years later. You get the option of a gasoline and diesel engines but the latter sold more.

Value and Costs
Planning to put up a school bus business or be the service provider in your neighborhood (or carpool in other words)? The MB100 is one great prospect as prices can range between P200,000-P370,000. There are a couple of SsangYong Istanas plying the streets bu t there are only a few of them.

Parts are easy to procure, but thats if you purchase the diesel model. Since this uses a basic diesel engine (read: non CRDi) it can take dirty fuels and fixed by a roadside mechanic. Common problems include overheating, but this can be remedied since the engine can be accessed in the front hood ala Toyota Hiace.

Exterior and Interior
Since this is a van, lets not delve on the exterior more other than saying it has the engine upfront and two door handles come standard in the sole sliding door.

Well review the interior more since you will be spending your time inside it the most. For the driver, you are greeted with a high seating position but before grabbing that throne, an experience of driving the MB100 isnt complete without grabbing the handle positioned in the A pillar. This is not an accessory, this is needed due to the high location of the seat. The gauges and the steering wheel contrast each other, t he former has a car like gauge position but the tiller would remind you that you are driving a Ceres/Partas bus. Other positives inside include the humane position of the controls and the excellent visibility. If you are the passenger, you have oodles of space thanks to the front wheel drive layout but headroom is poor due to the lengthy dual florescent lamps and air conditioning vents placed above.

Engine
Two engines can be placed in your MB100 and first we do have the OM602 2,874cc diesel which possess 105hp at 4,000rpm and 185Nm at 2,400rpm. The rare one is the M111 2,199cc which has 130hp and 182Nm at 4,000rpm. Let us not bother with the gasoline engine especially that in most cases, the diesel is more suitable in these types of vehicles. You get tons of torque but there are some quirks: as you increase the revs noise is becoming louder by the minute (or in this case, rpm), 3,000rpm and above for the inclines or when the car in full l oad will result to a warp zone that youll only feel it. Oftentimes, the engine struggles when climbing so choose the gear wisely.

Driving Impressions
Switching lanes is easy courtesy of the light (but dull) power steering and the clutch is perfect to manipulate. But since this is a van, you wont (and should not) expect driving thrills. The lack of power is due to the front wheel drive layout, with most rivals going for the rear wheel drive due to its capacity on hauling heavy load. The trade off for a roomy cabin and power is somewhat debatable. Oh, dont keep your speeds above 110kph as the car can get unstable and it is prone to crosswinds.

Verdict
When it comes to kids, they can be picky on what to ride. The MB100 offers oodles of space for less cash but at the expense of power. But remember, you dont need to speed up since their parents trust you the lives of their children. 



The Good: 
  • Cavernous cabin
  • Maintaining one is easy
  • Engine is from Mercedes
The Bad: 
  • Lacks punch due to FWD layout
  • Cumbersome steering
  • A Benz badge stuck in a different body
The Pick: MB100D

THE SPECS
Engine: 2,199cc M111 I4 gasoline and 2,874cc OM602 I4 diesel
Power: 130hp (2.2 gasoline), 105hp @ 4,000rpm (2.9 diesel)
Torque: 182Nm @ 4,000rpm (2.2 gasoline), 185Nm @ 2,400rpm (2.9 diesel)

Used Car Review Chevrolet Optra Wagon 2006 2009

School started already but you are car-less and still relying on public transportation to mobile you around. You wanted a station wagon since it can swallow your school stuff and other related equipment at the cargo area but the problem is, what wagon? Among the limited choices available, Myk Belmonte finds a gem that could suit you well.

2006-2009 Chevrolet Optra Wagon

History
I have said this story several times ago in my articles that involve Korean cars; Daewoo Motors ran into deep financial trouble due to the Asian Financial Crisis in the late 90s. Daewoo purchased 4x4 specialist Ssangyong in 1998 only to sell it two years later due to financial woes. Year 2001 came and General Motors acquired most of Daewoo Motors assets to form GM Daewoo and commenced operations the following year.

And with the buyout, the Daewoo Lacetti was born. Just like every GM Daewoo (now GM Korea) model, it is sold in different names a nd brands; using the badges of Chevrolet, Holden, Buick, and Suzuki in different parts of the world. The Lacettis sedan and wagon were designed by Pininfarina and the hatchbacks body by Giorgetto Giugario, both acknowledged automobile designers. This vehicle was introduced in 2002 and production continued until 2011, with the Cruze replacing it on that year.

The Philippine market had the Optra sedan in late 2003 while we had to wait for the wagon until 2006. The Optra replaced several vehicles within the GM family, and these were the Opel Astra (which prompted the discontinuation of the Opel brand in 2004); the Chevrolet Cassia, essentially a sedan version of the Suzuki Esteem; and its direct descendant, the Daewoo Racer. From 2006 to the following year, a basic (but well equipped) LS variant and a body kit and sporty rims clad SS trim paired with either a manual or automatic transmission. A 2008 revision just had the LS variant with the two transmission choices. Offered in Chevrolet dealers until 2009, with the Cruze (now a real Chevrolet) taking the place of both sedan and wagon guises.

Value and Costs
Between P370,000-P500,000, one can experience the functionality of a wagon plus the numerous standard features which some competitors lack. The other vehicles that almost match the price range of the Optra Wagon (in second hand prices) are European estates that can be a pain to maintain for the ordinary motorist (or the middle class student). With this reason, the Optra Wagon is a bargain to be had but it would be nice if other competitors had come to the scene during that time.

GM Automobiles Philippines was plagued with poor after-sales support, but with the new distributor to the rescue, parts availability is stable but there are some components that require waiting (try browsing automotive forums such as the ones in tsikot.com with actual owners posting there). Various quality quirks are present in t he Optra; which mostly involve the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) and some related with the mechanical parts. The ECU must be reprogrammed by the previous owner before sealing the deal, and some quirks should be fixed to enjoy a problem free drive.

Exterior and Interior
Credit Pininfarina for the exterior design, which was executed with grace and elegance. If you are a fan of Chevys, youll notice that the grille is shared with other vehicles in the lineup. You and I will have the same say that the Optra was designed after the turn of the millennium. Roof rails come standard which lends a touch of utility but clipping a roof carrier on it is dangerous and much discouraged.

While the interior has numerous features, its the fit and finish quality that is a deal breaker. The surface finish is ok but the fear of scratching it is there. Be careful not to leave any scratches and not to leave anything unnecessary (plants in the car a nyone?) in the cargo cabin, especially if you plan to make most of the utility part of the vehicle. Passengers would really love the room afforded by this vehicle, since headroom is more than adequate.

Engine
Among the numerous engine configurations offered worldwide, an E-TEC II 1,598cc became the standard power plant in all PHDM Optra wagons. While 110hp at 5,800rpm and 150Nm at 4,000rpm are adequate on paper, the figures dont tell the whole story. Both power and torque numbers are neither worst, but neither class leading. Better conduct a test drive to know how a car performs.

Driving Impressions
You will mistake the Optra Wagons driving dynamics for something from Europe. Handling is agile and acceleration is brisk and absorbs road imperfections without transmitting the bumps to its occupants. Despite its weight, it has the ability to go up to triple digit speeds; credit this one to the engineers whove chosen the transmissi ons gear ratios intelligently. There is the burden of sluggishness if you overload the car.

Verdict
Station wagons are a balance of a sedans low ground clearance and comfort and a minivans versatility. And the Optra wagon embodies the role of its sedan brethren; comfortable, versatile, and fuel efficient. It may be gone, and it may have a fair number of shortcomings, but if you plan to maximize its utility, consider this one on your shopping list. Students, save some bucks now for this versatile vehicle.



The Good:
  • Unbeatable flexibility
  • Feature loaded for the price
  • Sharp handling
The Bad:
  • Too thirsty an engine than the competition
  • Engine is nothing special against main rivals
  • Some replacement parts are pricey and have long waiting times
The Pick: 1.6 LS MT

THE SPECS
Engine: 1,598cc E-TEC II I4 ga soline
Power: 110hp @ 5,800rpm
Torque: 150Nm @ 4,000rpm
Fuel Consumption: 6-8km/L (city), 9-12km/L (highway) (*estimated and varies)
Transmission: 5-speed manual, 4-speed automatic
Suspension: Front independent McPherson strut, rear multilink with stabilizer bars

MORE INFO
Price (New): P789,000-P869,000 (range from 2006-2009)
Price (Now): P330,000-P500,000
