5 Must-Have Features for Cars in Manila Traffic

Manila, Philippines | 24 May 2024 - Manila traffic is legendary, a test of patience and a daily reality for many Filipinos. But fear not, fellow drivers! While we can't control the sheer volume of vehicles, we can equip ourselves with car features that make navigating the metro a little less stressful. Here are 5 must-have features for your Manila traffic survival kit:

  1. Real-Time Traffic Navigation: Ditch traffic jams with a smart navigation system that gives you real-time traffic updates. Waze and Google Maps are top picks, helping you dodge congestion with alternative routes and saving you valuable time. It's like having a reliable 2019 Toyota Corolla Altis V 1.6 by your side, known for its dependability and often packed with modern features like navigation.

  2. Parking Assist: Manila parking can be a real headache! Make things easier on yourself with a car that has parking sensors or a 360-degree camera. These features take the stress out of tight spots and parallel parking, saving you from dings and scratches. Consider a car like a 2016 Nissan Juke 1.6, a compact SUV that may come equipped with parking assist features to help you navigate Manila's streets with confidence.

  3. Sunroof/Moonroof: Stuck in traffic? A sunroof or moonroof can be a game-changer, especially on those long commutes. It brings in fresh air and creates a more open, airy feeling that can help fight claustrophobia and keep you cool. If you're looking for a car with a sunroof, the 2022 Ford Territory Titanium 1.5 is known for its expansive panoramic moonroof.

  4. Fuel Efficiency: Stop-and-go traffic? Big yikes for your wallet!  Beat the gridlock blues with a fuel-efficient car or consider a hybrid or electric vehicle.  These options sip gas, not gulp it, saving you money at the pump in the long run.  Think fuel-friendly like a 2021 Suzuki Swift GL 1.2, a small hatchback that's kind to your wallet and the environment.

  5. Entertainment System: Traffic jams are a perfect time to catch up on podcasts, audiobooks, or your favorite tunes. A good in-car entertainment system with Bluetooth connectivity allows you to stay connected and entertained during those long stretches of slow-moving traffic. A strong recommendation is the 2022 Mitsubishi Montero Sport Black Series 2.4 This feature-rich SUV boasts a modern entertainment system that will keep you entertained  during those long stretches of slow-moving traffic.

Bonus Feature: While not technically a car feature, patience is a crucial tool for Manila traffic. Remember, everyone is in the same boat (or car), so stay calm, avoid road rage, and focus on getting to your destination safely.
