They say life is a journey, and for many, that journey often involves the open road. I’ve had all sorts of adventures behind the wheel, trying out different cars and feeling the excitement each one brings. But I never expected that all of this driving would eventually take me to a really cool event – Mitsubishi Motors Philippines’ Go Beyond Limits Tour – March 22, 2024 at SM City Pampanga.
Mitsubishi Motors Philippines is running a nationwide campaign called “Taralets Pinas!” It’s all about celebrating our Filipino love for adventure. The goal is to inspire people to go out and discover all the amazing places in our country, while also experiencing our diverse culture, all while driving their trusty Mitsubishi cars.
The indoor vehicle exhibition showcases The All New Mitsubishi Triton. They’ve set up a booth where you can grab brochures and get more details if you’re interested.
Takeshi Hara, President and CEO of Mitsubishi Motors Philippines, warmly welcomes Cabalens as he introduces the All-New Mitsubishi Triton and Mitsubishi’s Taralets Pinas Campaign.
As someone who enjoys challenges, I decided to sign up for a test drive. I believe it’s important to experience it firsthand because it lets you actually sit in the driver’s seat. It’s your opportunity to feel how the vehicle performs – how it turns around corners, speeds up on the highway, and smoothly stops when you brake.
So, during the test drive, I went through a few different stages:
Acceleration Test:
When I gently pressed the gas, the car smoothly moved forward, showing how quickly and easily it responded.
Brake Test:
When I hit the brakes, I felt the car stop smoothly and confidently. Its advanced braking system made it easy to control.
Camber Test:
Checking the alignment of the wheels showed me how stable the car is and how well it handles. The suspension system kept the wheels firmly on the ground for good grip and control.
Approach and Departure Angle Test:
I tested the car’s ability to handle obstacles and rough terrain.
Suspension Test:
I felt how comfortable and steady the car’s suspension system made the ride.
Traction Control Test:
I tested how well the car’s traction control system handled slippery conditions. It automatically adjusted power to keep the car stable and in control, even when the wheels slipped.
