Car Features - 10 Commonly Repossessed Vehicles February 2016

324,000 vehicles were sold in 2015 and that was throughout the country; a portion of people who bought cars last year (and some in the previous years) will default on their payments either those who wanted a personal ride or those who invested for Grab/Uber units (which is not profitable in the first place). This list also aims to help buyers on which bank to go in finding a specific vehicle they want. For the first time, the Kia Rio takes a rest as the most repossessed vehicle and you will be surprised who is number one.

Do take note the list is accurate as of February 10, 2016. Sources include: PS Bank, Banco De Oro, RCBC Savings Bank, East West Bank, Unionbank, Maybank, BPI, Security Bank, and Chinabank. UCPB does not have any active list as of writing time so we will be skipping them for now.

Recall Alert - Nissan Philippines Recalls Frontier, X-Trail, Patrol, Teana

With Honda recalling nearly every vehicle in its line-up which were sold from 2003 to 2012, Nissan had followed suit but only involving four vehicles from 2003 to 2008. If there is a reason for this, it would be the defective airbags caused by the Takata fiasco. If you have a Nissan Frontier, Teana, X-Trail, or Patrol then read this one.

Replacing the D21 pickup series (Eagle/Pathfinder), the Frontier gets a larger 3.2 engine and a driver's airbag for the 4x4 variant. Do take note that the 4x4 became the Pleasure in 2001 which added leather seats and wood panels to the mix.
