Automatic transmissions have come a long way since the dawn of the first torque converters. Driving with only two pedals was once considered a luxury in the mid to late 20th century. However, as technology progressed and manufacturing got more efficient and precise, automatic transmissions became more reliable and in some cases, better than the traditional manual transmission.
Over time as well, the options that manufacturers can use to outfit their automobiles have grown.

However, which of these options are the best, and should it make or break your purchase?
Usually, we recommend the best in the business in our listicles. However, there is a place for underdogs in the industry. Since the landscape of the Philippine automotive market is very competitive, it is easy for a lot of cars to get overshadowed by the bigger and more established brands.

While other more common models like the Honda Brio and the Toyota Wigo get all the attention, the Kia Picanto is actually one of the less common but better small hatchbacks out in the market. Equipped with either a 1.0-liter 3-cylinder engine or a 1.2-liter 4-cylinder, you get up to 83 hp with this model and 121 Nm of torque. On top of that, you get great build quality and a chassis that is very stable and planted even at highway speeds. You also get good sound insulation.

There is something to be said about Geely and their cars. The brand has blazed a trail with the Geely Coolray, and Azkarra, but their 7-seater MPV, the Okavango, is in a class of its own in terms of price and value for money.
Though the Geely Okavango does come at a bit of a premium compared to other rivals in its class, and you get a lot for the price that you pay, but is the cost worth it at P1,328,000? It’s pretty worth it, and here’s why.
A mild-hybrid for less than P1,500,000?
It is one of the most affordable cars, if not the most affordable car in the Philippines with a hybrid system. Sure it’s a mild-hybrid system, geared more for smoothness and refinement than outright fuel economy, but that’s the thing, regardless of the intent, for the price you pay, you get a lot of tech in the powertrain. Geely’s 48-Volt Electric Motor Synergy (EMS) system, is one of the many things that make the Okavango such a pleasure to drive. It has the same gasoline engine as the Ge
