0 -> [Stanley laughing]

1.467 -> Finally, a Halloween episode. I've been waiting for this.

5.018 -> - [Stanley] Why aren't you dressed up? - [Martin] Wait, today is October 27 only.

9.285 -> - What are you wearing? - Really?

11.285 -> I'm wearing a costume.

13.285 -> Who are you for this Halloween?

14.752 -> Clark Kent, Superman. Keep your mouth shut, okay?

17.553 -> - Clark Kent... - My true identity might be revealed.

21.118 -> They might find out that I'm the real...

23.118 -> [Martin] Well would look at that.

25.608 -> - Superman. - Of course.

27.608 -> Awesome.

29.781 -> Since this is our Halloween episode,

31.781 -> what do you call the scary organ of a woman?

36.742 -> I don't know. What is it?

37.96 -> It is...

39.027 -> spooky.

41.027 -> Ohh spooky. You speak nonsense. You really are Clark Kent afford.

45.501 -> [Both laugh]

46.468 -> [Both surprised]

47.718 -> Why is our foreman in here?

49.252 -> - [Jacob] You already know why I'm here, right? - [Martin and Stanley] Not really.

52.817 -> You guys should know by now.

54.962 -> Comparos are really...

56.729 -> To all viewers, if you don't understand what's happening. Just watch the Terra vs mu-X comparison video

63.848 -> in the link... here.

65.848 -> [Philkotse boys laughing]

67.515 -> But this time, white is for Volkswagen T-Cross...

73.742 -> and red is for Geely Coolray.

76.874 -> Okay?

77.909 -> [Martin and Stanley agree]

79.912 -> He disappeared.

81.446 -> Don't forget to like and subscribe to our YouTube channel

83.446 -> so you can get a taste of us first... I mean to our latest videos.

86.978 -> And if you want to see the full specs and pricing of all the cars available in the local market,

91.447 -> just go to Philkotse.com's Car Guide section.

94.316 -> Just click the link in the description...

95.816 -> [Together] Below.

98.016 -> Ouch. My back hurts.

101.271 -> [intense music playing]

124.592 -> "Kotse ba? Philkotse na!"

131.224 -> Upfront, these two models have different faces.

133.518 -> The Coolray has a more aggressive and sporty look.

137.574 -> Meanwhile, the Volkswagen T-Cross SE is going for a sleek and premium-like appeal.

142.191 -> Oh so if this one looks mad, that one is a chill car but is mysteriously dangerous?

148.721 -> - Sounds about right. - That's what I like.

150.388 -> But to be honest, the Volkswagen T-Cross is a head-turner on the road.

155.452 -> When was the last time you saw a violet car?

158.451 -> Yeah, it reminds me of my old 6210 phone.

162.189 -> - But do you know why it is finished in violet? - Why?

165.155 -> Of course, so you would "violet."

167.155 -> - [Stanley] Ahh. - [Martin] We'll just move on, shall we?

169.455 -> Upfront, the Geely Coolray Sport Limited looks mad when viewed from the front.

173.876 -> It is equipped with LED headlights integrated with LED daytime running lights, black grille with red accents,

178.95 -> angular looking bumper, LED fog lights, and a lip spoiler with carbon fiber print.

184.604 -> As for the front end of the Volkswagen T-Cross SE,

188.036 -> it has a laid back look, but delivers a more premium-like appeal.

191.532 -> It gets LED headlights integrated with LED daytime running lights, halogen fog lamps,

197.92 -> chrome grille, and the new Volkswagen logo.

202.21 -> And if you look down below, the bumper gets a mustache-like trim,

205.274 -> creating a finesse finish.

206.808 -> Move further below and you will see a skid plate garnish in silver.

210.189 -> So we need to vote.

212.589 -> - Your T-Cross does look subtle but dangerous. - Yes.

216.121 -> True. That's why we said that its appearance is subtle and premium-like.

220 -> Meanwhile, that T-Cross looks angry.

222 -> - A mad face is a must, making it look like it is ready for a fight. - Ohhh.

225.132 -> - But, we should vote now - Sure. Where is our foreman?

228.482 -> - Wait, there's a box. - A box.

232.486 -> - What is your vote? - Secret.

234.486 -> I vote...

239.064 -> - white. Do you know why? - Why?

241.064 -> I want subtle looks but has something big to offer. That creates a wild characteristic.

245.598 -> - My vote goes to red. - Ohh, why?

248.56 -> Of course, you need a strong appeal.

253.513 -> Let's hide these.

256.082 -> - Just put it there. - Got it.

261.644 -> Both might have the same engine displacements,

264.851 -> the power outputs are significantly different.

268.217 -> Yes. Both have a 1.5-liter gasoline engine.

271.606 -> However, the other one is more powerful.

273.606 -> Well, you already know... turbo time.

275.606 -> - Wait, that's my line! - I borrowed it.

277.607 -> [Stanley laughing]

285.87 -> Okay.

287.037 -> Under the hood, the Geely Coolray Sport Limited has a 1.5-liter 3-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine

293.213 -> that makes 177 horsepower and 255 Nm of torque.

297.211 -> The engine is paired to a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission and utilizes front-wheel drive.

301.517 -> As for the fuel economy, city traffic is 7 to 8 km/l at an average speed of 10 to 20 km/h.

308.747 -> On the highway, it gave us 18 km/l at an average speed of 90 km/h.

314.292 -> Moving to the Volkswagen T-Cross, it is powered by a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine

320.219 -> that delivers 112 hp and 145 Nm of torque.

324.761 -> And then, the engine is connected to a 6-speed automatic transmission.

328.544 -> This vehicle is also front-wheel drive.

330.544 -> In terms of fuel economy, we got 7 km/l while driving at an average speed of 10 to 20 km/h.

339.139 -> On the other hand, the open highway drive gave us 17.6 km/l while driving at an average speed of 90 km/h.

348.413 -> The fuel consumption of both vehicles are similar

350.459 -> but this Coolray is powerful.

352.531 -> Well, what can you expect? It is turbocharged.

355.751 -> - We'll vote. - Let's vote.

357.751 -> Shoot.

361.902 -> Which one will you vote for?

362.869 -> My vote is this, the T-Cross.

366.507 -> - Do you know why? - Why?

367.941 -> The Coolray's fuel price is more expensive.

371.088 -> - My vote is this, red - Why?

373.554 -> Coolray. Sure, my fuel price is more expensive, but at least my engine is turbocharged.

377.985 -> - Ahh. - Right?

381.521 -> - You only drive in the city, why did you choose the Coolray? - I also go out of town, you know.

387.215 -> When it comes to the wheels, the Coolray and T-Cross depict different types of personalities.

393.269 -> The one in the Coolray looks snazzy.

395.269 -> Here in the T-Cross, the wheels look simple.

398.002 -> However, it has enough style points.

400.002 -> This Coolray has a new set of wheels which are included as upgrades in the new variant.

404.331 -> The Coolray comes with 18-inch aluminum wheels in gloss black finish,

408.074 -> which is exclusive to the Sport Limited variant.

411.431 -> At the front, it gets ventilated disc brakes,

413.438 -> while solid disc brakes at the rear.

414.905 -> The Volkswagen T-Cross SE, on the other hand, has 17-inch alloy wheels

418.581 -> which is smaller as compared to the Coolray.

420.581 -> In terms of braking power, it has the same setup as the one in the Coolray.

426.278 -> It comes with ventilated disc brakes at the front, and solid disc brakes at the rear.

430.666 -> But you what Stan, I noticed that the disc brakes in the Coolray appear to be larger.

434.998 -> Yeah. Well, maybe because the wheels are larger.

437.421 -> That sounds about right.

438.754 -> Turning to the side, the Coolray has crisp character lines.

442.238 -> Meanwhile, the Volkswagen T-Cross SE has that typical Volkswagen design on the side,

447.197 -> highlighted by a straight character line.

449.728 -> The Coolray's side has power-folding side mirrors with turn signals,

453.12 -> sharp character lines, black cladding, two-tone finish, roof rail,

457.578 -> and a 196 mm ground clearance.

460.288 -> The Volkswagen T-Cross doesn't get power-folding side mirrors,

464.334 -> but it is integrated with turn signals and a heating function

467.931 -> which provides better visibility in the rain.

470.751 -> It comes with straight character lines, black cladding, roof rail and subtle chrome trims on the door handle.

477.824 -> In terms of ground clearance, it is rated at 185 mm.

482.996 -> As compared to the T-Cross, the Coolray is 112 mm longer, 35 mm wider,

488.853 -> and 10 mm taller, with higher ground clearance.

492.219 -> Meanwhile, remember that the Volkswagen T-Cross has a longer wheelbase at 51 mm.

498.316 -> This Coolray is longer, wider, and taller.

502.981 -> But again, let me remind you that that the T-Cross has a longer wheelbase.

507.845 -> This means that the interior is roomier.

511.178 -> - Okay, so I guess we know what to do next. - I surely do.

513.977 -> The foreman is already here...

515.377 -> [Together] Let's vote.

517.377 -> - I wonder which one you'll vote. - Of course...

519.71 -> red.

521.004 -> - Really now. - Coolray.

524.414 -> - My vote goes to the T-Cross. - Why though?

527.68 -> Of course, I love the simplicity of the sides.

535.378 -> At the rear, what more can I say...

537.378 -> the two vehicles portray different personalities.

540.691 -> But Stan, I just noticed that the rear-end of the T-Cross looks like Hamburglar,

545.791 -> - the mascot of McDonald's. - Right.

548.79 -> Speaking of that, the rear-end of the Geely Coolray Sport Limited

552.108 -> has LED taillights, a roof spoiler that looks like a dish rack, chrome trim on the tailgate,

557.71 -> black cladding on the bumper, diffuser, and quad exhaust pipes.

561.05 -> On the other hand, the Volkswagen T-Cross has a unique LED taillights, blacked-out trim on the tailgate,

568.146 -> a spoiler, and a T-Cross emblem in the middle.

572.061 -> And if you move down below, you will see a skid plate garnish for that rugged appeal.

576.469 -> But if you will notice, the exhaust pipe of the T-Cross is concealed.

581.277 -> - Okay, our battle is bumper-to-bumper. - Sure is.

584.11 -> - So I prefer the dish rack-like spoiler of this vehicle. - The spoiler.

590.34 -> But for me, what I like about the T-Cross is this.

592.967 -> This has a unique finish for me and it makes the vehicle stand out.

598.565 -> From the color alone, right? And it doesn't have an exhaust pipe.

600.565 -> - Hidden from view. - You can't be apprehended due to smoke-belching.

603.164 -> - [Martin laughing] Smoke-belching. - But this one has a quad setup.

605.851 -> - Good luck with the emission testing. - So we know what's next... voting time.

612.516 -> - What is your vote, sir? - My vote goes to...

616.365 -> Coolray.

618.258 -> - Do you know why? - Why?

619.125 -> - It has quad exhaust pipes. - Exhaust pipes?

620.759 -> [Stanley got the pronunciation wrong] Exhaust pipes.

622.174 -> - [Martin laughing] - It has four pipes.

625.476 -> My turn.

626.534 -> - I vote for the T-Cross. - Why?

628.711 -> - The taillights look stunning. - And has no exhaust pipe?

631.077 -> Yes, no exhaust pipe. And I really remember Hamburgler.

635.688 -> - That's like a fart. It will scatter anywhere. - Well, I'll be damned.

641.507 -> Here is the interesting part of the battle.

643.507 -> The Geely Coolray Sport Limited...

647.209 -> [Geely Coolray beeps]

648.96 -> [scoffs]

651.104 -> Okay, cool. This Volkswagen T-Cross SE...

654.803 -> [Stanley laughing]

656.37 -> You laugh so hard.

657.471 -> [Both laughing]

659.471 -> This comes with a power tailgate.

661.471 -> - I can tell. - You better.

663.071 -> This one... has a manual function only.

665.42 -> What's nice about this is the power tailgate function and offers a height-adjust feature,

669.313 -> which can be handy for garages with a low ceiling

671.35 -> and for your friends from Pandacan.

674.149 -> But if you want to see how the height ceiling is adjusted,

678.251 -> watch my Quick Look.

680.694 -> But you know what Stan...

683.025 -> - someone spoke. - The T-Cross is talking to you.

686.058 -> Wait a minute, okay?

687.192 -> It has a special feature: speaking.

690 -> But you know what Stan, what matters is the cargo space.

692.896 -> Well, both cargo spaces look adequate. But, where is the stuff we'll put to determine who has more space?

698.86 -> I think it's over there... right?

700.731 -> [coffin dance music plays]

705.21 -> - How do we... - There you go.

708.15 -> - Place it straight. - Sounds good.

710.65 -> Yes, and this can still be closed. This can be placed like this as well.

713.549 -> It looks a little tight, but at least the loading height is low.

717.581 -> - Yes, it is flat. - Very flat.

721.013 -> Let's try this to the other vehicle.

724.061 -> [coffin dance music plays]

728.826 -> There we go.

730.826 -> - It gets a problem here. - The guitar case fits well.

734.699 -> - Lay this down. - Nothing changed.

739.405 -> - But it fits well, right? - Agree?

741.771 -> This has a deep loading cargo height.

745.37 -> - Let's fold the second-row seats. - Alright.

753.394 -> As you can see, both are roomy.

755.061 -> This is very flat and wider.

756.629 -> The second row of this vehicle can be folded down, and comes with a tonneau cover.

760.422 -> You can put a lot of stuff in here.

762.255 -> However, what I noticed Stan is that this part takes up some space

766.453 -> as compared to the Coolray. That's the reason why you can easily load stuff in that vehicle.

770.418 -> - That has like plastics at the side. - This one... yes.

773.359 -> - For protection. - Which compromises the space.

775.992 -> - You know what we should do... - Vote time.

779.314 -> - My vote for this round goes to red, the Coolray. - Coolray.

782.848 -> - Do you know why? - Why?

784.231 -> It is more spacious.

785.132 -> My vote goes to... we're the same, the Coolray.

790.222 -> - Same as your reason and it has a power tailgate - Of course.

793.292 -> - You laughed at me like crazy earlier. - C'mon, it's not like that.

799.292 -> What I noticed is that the Coolray and T-Cross

801.313 -> - look like they have an interior for young car buyers. - Yes.

803.313 -> It's because the colors are stylish, and has plenty of textures.

805.598 -> - But are still different - Of course.

807.701 -> So we'll start with the Coolray.

809.701 -> This Coolray has a black and red combination and aluminum trimmings...

815.321 -> - Brush aluminum. - Exactly.

817.321 -> The steering wheel is flat bottom, with cruise control and the buttons for the radio.

821.793 -> This instrument cluster is 7-inch digital.

826.128 -> It is clear and high-tech.

827.695 -> We have a 10.25-inch infotainment system, without Apple CarPlay and Android Auto,

833.015 -> but comes with QD Link.

834.449 -> - And we have a 360-degree panoramic camera. - Nice. For improved safety.

838.781 -> What is this for? Seat ventilation.

842.746 -> If your car is parked under the sun, the seats are hot.

846.543 -> So if you press this and set it to the max, your you-know-what will be cooled.

852.906 -> - Buttocks. - Yes.

855.692 -> The aircon system is automatic, it has buttons here so just click them.

860.64 -> - We have cupholders here – two to be exact. - Two, yes.

864.251 -> Our gear shifter is electronic, as well as our parking brake.

870.562 -> - [Martin] With an auto brake hold. - Yes.

872.364 -> This seat is 6-way power-adjustable, while the passenger seat gets a manual adjustment.

878.036 -> - That's quite a lot. Let's take a look at the other one. - Let's go.

883.956 -> - Woah. - Mmm.

887.066 -> So here we are in the Volkswagen T-Cross SE

890.365 -> If you will notice, the color in the interior is the same as the one on the exterior.

897.061 -> In this case, the exterior is purple so the interior of the Volkswagen T-Cross has purple shades,

902.051 -> a feature that not a lot of cars have.

904.051 -> Just look at the Coolray,

906.051 -> the color of your car's exterior is gray, but the interior is still black and red.

911.1 -> - Volkswagen matches the color of the interior and exterior. - Okay.

915.698 -> Youthful and matching.

917.698 -> - Ube on ube - Yes. Ube on ube.

919.465 -> And if you move here, you will see that it has a flat-bottomed steering wheel

922.849 -> but it is not leather-wrapped.

924.849 -> It comes with integrated controls such as cruise control.

928.881 -> If you move to the front, you have an analog instrument cluster with analog gauges.

933.626 -> - This isn't as high-tech as the one in the Coolray. - Yeah. It is not fully digital.

937.058 -> This only has a small digital display in the center for your trip and other info like fuel consumption.

942.455 -> And if you move to the center, we have a 9.2-inch infotainment touchscreen.

946.923 -> - [Stanley] Wait a minute... - What?

948.29 -> - 9.2? The other one gets a 10.25-inch unit. - No worries. This offers Apple CarPlay.

954.953 -> Also, this comes with a hand gesture feature. What's up?

958.319 -> Aside from the hand gesture, this knows another trick.

961.59 -> It's playing, right?

963.124 -> [Shouting] Volume up!

965.124 -> [Martin smirks]

966.376 -> Volume down.

968.376 -> - So I should get closer. - Yes you should.

971.575 -> Volume down.

974.088 -> - There we go. It is versatile. - It can be used by people who don't have someone to talk to.

978.386 -> [Martin laughing] Yes.

980 -> And say you are driving fast, you don't need to reach for the screen to adjust.

984.063 -> Let's pause this first.

985.53 -> - Move down and you will see a manual A/C system - [Stanley laughing]

989.942 -> - climate control. Why are you laughing? - Well, the Coolray offers an automatic A/C system.

993.274 -> Oh right. And that looks more digital.

996.839 -> However, this is simpler. But you can never go wrong with basic.

1000.823 -> There are people like that, preferring a straightforward finish.

1003.228 -> If you look here, you have ample space for your cellphone.

1006.659 -> Next to it is the USB ports which are Type-A and Type-C.

1010.196 -> As for the gear lever, you get piano black accents

1012.807 -> and has an engine push start button.

1016.439 -> - This has a conventional handbrake, while the other is electric. - Oh well, okay.

1022.045 -> Let's talk about the seats.

1024.046 -> The T-Cross is installed with leather and fabric seats. It is not full leather.

1027.176 -> And then, it also has white accents to create continuity to the tri interior color of the Volkswagen T-Cross.

1033.868 -> However, the driver seat and the front passenger seat are equipped with a manual adjuster.

1037.518 -> - Unlike the Coolray that uses an automatic driver seat. - Don't forget, 6-way.

1041.878 -> This comes with a manual adjustment. But it should be fine as this comes with a height adjuster.

1045.077 -> So that should make up for it.

1046.777 -> And then, I just want to comment,

1048.244 -> - I'm not a big fan of white interior color. - Me too.

1050.61 -> Well, it is dirt-prone especially if you are a sweaty person like me,

1054.709 -> marks are left on the surfaces.

1057.231 -> You'll use an excessive amount of WipeOut which is used to clean white leather and plastic.

1061.13 -> But before anything else, we'll vote now.

1064.601 -> - Vote. - Sure.

1068.235 -> - What is your vote, sir? - Vote.

1070.235 -> Vote now. What is your vote?

1072.426 -> Raise the paper.

1075.647 -> - Choose mine. - Here, red.

1079.194 -> - Coolray? - Yes, because I like the black and red finish.

1083.995 -> And then, it offers a bunch of electronic features.

1085.995 -> I vote for red as well because I'm not a big fan of white interior.

1090.904 -> It is dirt-prone, right? So yeah.

1093.459 -> That's our vote.

1094.593 -> - So now, let's visit the second row of the Coolray. - Let's move.

1100.263 -> Here at the rear of the Coolray comes with black and red as well... like in the front.

1106.595 -> We have a center console with cupholders.

1111.635 -> And then, we still have leather seats and USB ports and spaces for your stuff.

1120.296 -> We don't have cupholders here but Geely added a panoramic sunroof.

1123.597 -> And this is not just a sunroof as the cover is now improved.

1127.236 -> It no longer has a thin cover.

1131.902 -> - This is now thicker so... - Plus the color.

1135.328 -> Dark gray, which is better.

1137.646 -> But what I noticed is that you don't have rear A/C vents.

1140.223 -> - Yeah. - [Martin laughs]

1141.164 -> - But the A/C at the front is strong enough. - Okay, if you say so.

1144.23 -> - Now, let's see the second row of the T-Cross - [Together] Let's go.

1148.706 -> [Jacob] Wait, the legroom.

1150.764 -> Oh yeah. We went to freeze mode.

1152.764 -> The legroom is adequate, see that?

1155.887 -> - Three persons can fit in here. - Yes, three can sit.

1158.642 -> But for a more comfortable ride, only two are recommended.

1161.408 -> As for the headroom, what is your height?

1163.408 -> I'm good with it. My height is perfect for the headroom, 5'5.

1167.137 -> - I'm 5'6 - Wow 5'6.

1170.937 -> So that's pretty much it.

1172.471 -> - Let's sit in the Volkswagen T-Cross - Sure.

1177.098 -> Here we are in the Volkswagen T-Cross SE.

1180.293 -> If you will notice, the tri interior theme of the Volkswagen T-Cross can still be seen.

1185.144 -> There's the white, black...

1188.034 -> and it is installed with rear A/C vents.

1190.034 -> This is what I liked here as compared to the Coolray.

1194.599 -> And then, it also has USB ports. The Coolray only has one, while this offers two,

1198.71 -> a type-A and type-C.

1200.71 -> - Why, are you going to bring a lot of cell phones? - Well, at least two people can benefit from these ports.

1205.108 -> Fair.

1206.209 -> The Volkswagen T-Cross is also equipped with a panoramic sunroof.

1209.466 -> However, the cover is a bit light and is somewhat thin.

1213.563 -> But to be honest, this should be much of an issue

1215.902 -> as the cabin can get cold fast.

1217.902 -> Plus, you have rear A/C vents. Solved.

1220.334 -> When you check the legroom, it is spacious for our height.

1226.015 -> The headroom is...

1227.515 -> - adequate as well. I feel like this is more spacious. - This offers more headroom.

1232.118 -> The rear seats can accommodate three passengers, but it would be more comfortable with two persons only,

1236.516 -> like this.

1237.65 -> - A child would be perfect here. - Could be.

1239.683 -> But...

1240.251 -> - That's a big but. - this has no center armrest.

1244.682 -> - No cupholders. - None.

1246.682 -> - But at least this has bottle holders. - Bottle holder.

1250.155 -> That's coffee.

1251.356 -> If you will notice, this is the second-row space of the Volkswagen T-Cross.

1256.62 -> - The two are similar - Yes, the two are similar. I agree.

1260.485 -> It comes down to which one you are more comfortable being seated in

1263.977 -> Exactly.

1264.971 -> - We know what to do... - Vote time.

1266.971 -> - Where is our foreman? - Frontman.

1269.608 -> Maybe he'll get mad at us again.

1271.608 -> - You vote first. - I'll open it first.

1277.428 -> - Because... - Because?

1279.439 -> the theme of the interior is darker with a dark gray finish.

1284.035 -> Also, it comes with a center armrest and cupholders.

1289.049 -> Although it doesn't come with rear A/C vents, the A/C system works well.

1292.868 -> So it's not an issue for me.

1298.13 -> My vote goes to white, the T-Cross.

1301.55 -> - Do you know why? - Why?

1302.525 -> Aside from the rear A/C vents, it comes with two USB ports and a panoramic sunroof.

1307.822 -> Additionally, it offers a bit more space in terms of headroom and legroom.

1313.719 -> - Just a bit. - Yes.

1315.219 -> Still more spacious.

1316.22 -> Of course, our comparos or reviews won't be complete without driving impressions.

1320.472 -> I agree.

1322.072 -> - Do you want to drive? - Is that even a question?

1324.433 -> - Wait a minute, I'll show you something. - What is it?

1327.425 -> You just go out whenever you want, Stanley.

1330.326 -> - I'll show you something, here's the key. - Okay...

1337.049 -> [Geely Coolray starts]

1341.911 -> - Magic. - Oh yeah.

1343.611 -> - [Stanley laughing] - You have a remote engine start.

1345.445 -> Yes.

1346.285 -> As for safety, the Geely Coolray Sport Limited has driver and passenger airbags,

1351.232 -> front row side airbags, side curtain airbags, Anti-lock Braking System with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution,

1357.762 -> traction and stability control, Hill Start Assist, Hill Descent Control, 360-degree camera,

1363.737 -> parking sensors, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Blind Spot Detection, and keyless entry.

1370.209 -> On the other hand, the Volkswagen T-Cross is equipped with driver and front passenger airbags,

1374.977 -> driver and front passenger side airbags, head curtain airbags, Electronic Stability Program, Anti-lock Braking System,

1381.9 -> Hill Hold Control, Anti Slip Regulation, rear parking sensors, rear camera, and tire pressure monitor.

1391.71 -> - How's the handling? - Pleasing. The steering wheel feels light.

1395.499 -> And then, the feedback from the ground is nice. This is a very solid car.

1400.293 -> You know, I really like the ride comfort here on the passenger seat.

1403.163 -> It offers a sedan-like ride, not too bumpy.

1405.208 -> It is very responsive. Do you want to try, Martin?

1407.208 -> - That's the question I'm waiting for from you. - Let's switch.

1410.141 -> [Both] Alright.

1414.613 -> Time for me to drive.

1416.936 -> Okay, let's test this one out.

1423.148 -> Yes, Stan. The power delivery is impressive and I appreciate the driver visibility in here.

1428.875 -> It is well designed. There are no obstructions. Your view of the center is nice and wide.

1432.444 -> Also, the transmission, like what you noticed earlier, is smooth. The gear shift is flawless.

1438.96 -> It doesn't have shift shocks,

1440.96 -> minimum to none.

1442.027 -> - Awesome, right? - Yes, suave.

1444.027 -> It gives a smooth ride for you.

1446.069 -> And then, like what we saw earlier, it is equipped with a 360-degree view camera

1451.893 -> that is useful especially if you are driving on narrow roads

1456.365 -> or when you'll park your Coolray into tight spaces.

1461.148 -> - Okay. So, we'll go to the other vehicle, the T-Cross. - It's nice you said that.

1467.188 -> - Let's go - Alright.

1468.489 -> I'll just pull this over, sir.

1475.476 -> The T-Cross is good I must say.

1477.01 -> The power delivery is adequate, but the Coolray provides more power.

1479.467 -> That's why if you will overtake in this vehicle, you need to plan ahead of time for good measure.

1486.532 -> The steering feel is light. I'm not sure why but I feel more comfortable driving this than the Coolray.

1493.328 -> - Can I try? I want to drive the T-Cross too. - Alright, let's go.

1497.593 -> - Let's go. - Wait, I'll put this vehicle to a stop first.

1503.943 -> There.

1505.678 -> - It's my turn to drive again. - Okay, we move.

1509.734 -> If you will notice Stan, the engine of the T-Cross delivers adequate power

1514.755 -> but the Coolray has undoubtedly more power.

1518.311 -> Well, it is turbocharged.

1520.338 -> And as for city driving, you won't have a problem with this vehicle.

1523.104 -> The engine should perform fine.

1524.571 -> And then, like what I said earlier,

1526.571 -> you need to plan your overtakes because there's a slight delay in power delivery when stepping on the pedal.

1534.292 -> However, what's nice about this is it comes with a manual mode

1536.901 -> so you can control the engine RPM.

1539.8 -> If you want to downshift earlier, you can do that with the manual mode

1542.672 -> so you can overtake safer.

1545.505 -> And then, one of the things I noticed and disliked when driving this vehicle are...

1550.456 -> - the beams... - They block your driving view?

1553.422 -> Yes. My driving visibility is reduced,

1556.686 -> while the blind spot gets wider.

1559.652 -> For example, this one. My peripheral in this situation is compromised. I can't see my sides anymore

1563.95 -> as compared to the Coolray which offers good forward visibility.

1566.885 -> - Wider? - Agree.

1568.885 -> - Just like what Cesar Miguel Guiderone said, wide boy. - Yes.

1573.168 -> - So of course, we must vote note. - There you go.

1575.978 -> I like that you suggested that.

1578.611 -> - Okay, you go first. - Me first.

1581.011 -> After driving the two vehicles, surprisingly... I mean not really surprisingly,

1584.911 -> I go for red. The power delivery of Geely Coolray is just simply impressive.

1590.805 -> Thank you. There.

1593.213 -> - Hold up your papers again. - Because you'll choose again?

1596.22 -> - Yes. - You're a flying voter.

1597.387 -> - Not really. I'm just holding the other camera. - [Martin laughs]

1601.125 -> This is my vote because it is more powerful.

1604.907 -> You like turbo time. Well, you're the "Senpai ng Turbuhan."

1609.217 -> Hold up, we already drove the vehicles. But, we also to check out the ride comfort at the back.

1616.38 -> - In the second row? - Yes.

1617.567 -> - Alright. - So, we should now call our frontman.

1620.902 -> - Okay. - Frontman.

1625.147 -> - Jacob, you know what to do. - Are you sure about this?

1629.645 -> Of course.

1631.951 -> This is what I was talking about.

1636.676 -> - Good thing that there are handles in the Coolray. - Bad idea but we can't do anything at this point.

1642.207 -> - Too late to back down. - The driver is mad at us.

1647.353 -> This is like the roller coaster in EK.

1649.888 -> What now? Say something.

1651.655 -> I'm lost for words.

1652.755 -> Even though we are thrown to the sides, because we have seat belts on

1657.02 -> and handles here, the ride comfort is still okay.

1659.02 -> I still feel comfortable. We're just acting for the scene

1662.239 -> - and of course... - No, I'm not acting.

1664.521 -> We should say we're fine because maybe the frontman will get mad at us again.

1668.886 -> - No, let's tell the truth. It is a bit... - Here we go again.

1672.551 -> This guy is a bit mad at us.

1674.551 -> There are plenty of places to hold on to. Look at this.

1676.552 -> - Yes, you are right. - It's like," ohh [bleep]."

1681.57 -> - [Jacob] We'll drive slowly now. - [Martin and Stanley] We better.

1684.537 -> I feel like an executive with a driver, going to the office.

1690.205 -> - I like the ride, absorbing impact. - It is not too bumpy.

1694.074 -> You'll also appreciate that we are thrown to the sides

1696.293 -> because of the power delivery of the Geely Coolray's 3-cylinder turbocharged engine.

1700.806 -> You can really feel the power. You will be forced to hold on to the handles at the back.

1706.203 -> - I thought you were gonna say to the person next to you. - No, no.

1708.203 -> - Yuck. I got you back. - [Both laughing]

1711.596 -> The ride comfort is satisfactory. I'm excited about what the T-Cross has to offer.

1716.061 -> - What are we waiting for? - as the ride comfort in this is nice as a passenger.

1721.259 -> - Let's now go to the T-Cross. - Alright.

1725.996 -> We are now in the Volkswagen T-Cross.

1729.894 -> - The frontman is kind of... kind of mad at us again. - As you will notice, we are pushed to our seats.

1735.325 -> We are leaning. Like this...

1739.347 -> It is a bit...

1741.042 -> - good thing there's a handle but not at the top. - We have a seat belt and handle at the side.

1748.151 -> We're now approaching a wide turn. Wide turn for the wide boy.

1751.716 -> You won't have an opportunity to say [bleep]

1754.586 -> because the moment you say "ohh," the vehicle will throw you to the sides.

1758.798 -> - Yes. And you don't get a handle here, only in here. - Only there.

1762.563 -> If you lost balance...

1763.231 -> [Martin making sound effects]

1764.412 -> - What were your sound effects again? - I'm not sure.

1766.412 -> - I'm close to believing. - [Martin laughing]

1768.412 -> That's a line I usually hear from my uncles.

1770.412 -> You know what tito Stan, that's just how it is.

1772.412 -> You're adding sound effects and look at this...

1775.032 -> There we go.

1776.683 -> Did you notice? It was a wide turn, Stan.

1778.683 -> But it turned smoothly. We leaned a bit but it is tolerable.

1783.415 -> - Agree. - And you will also notice that the suspension of the T-Cross

1788.02 -> is kind of smooth as compared to the Coolray.

1791.383 -> - It is not too bumpy - Yes, yes.

1794.282 -> Not too bumpy and our ride is comfortable even though the driving is a bit crazy.

1802.011 -> - Just a bit - Yeah.

1803.611 -> But another thing I noticed is that the T-Cross feels like it was designed to give you more comfort

1809.051 -> as a passenger.

1811.051 -> The Coolray, on the other hand, was designed to provide excellent performance on corners.

1814.854 -> - Did you notice that as well? The power was just so... - Why is cornering performance important anyway?

1820.485 -> - This is a problem. If you drive on Bitukang Manok road... - Isaw? (Chicken intestine street food)

1825.716 -> I will bring you there. We will eat isaw after driving on that road.

1830.141 -> - I don't eat isaw. - Oh right, you're vegan.

1832.574 -> [Both] We'll vote now.

1835.109 -> - Go first this time because I was the first to vote earlier. - Okay, sure.

1837.11 -> - So you won't copy my answer. - We'll open this.

1839.11 -> - Alright. - This... because the Coolray has oh sh*t handles at the back.

1843.675 -> I want a safe passenger feel versus this vehicle that only has one.

1851.423 -> That offers two so this is my vote, Coolray.

1854.694 -> My vote Stan is the opposite. I go for the T-Cross

1857.376 -> because I feel more comfortable in here. It leans a bit, but that's what this gives you...

1863.361 -> it's more of comfort rather than performance in terms of passenger feel.

1866.57 -> So my vote goes to the T-Cross

1868.57 -> - even though it has few ohh sh*t handles. - Okay.

1873.707 -> - What? - Let's move to the final verdict.

1875.307 -> - Okay. - But first, we need to vote.

1876.974 -> You are right.

1879.25 -> - [Jacob] Oh. - Okay.

1883.282 -> - Wait, I'll count first. - Sure.

1886.461 -> - We'll start first with red. - I'll hold it for you.

1888.461 -> Let's count.

1891.538 -> Red, the Coolray.

1892.972 -> One... two... three... four...

1896.455 -> five... six.

1899.252 -> The Coolray gets 12 points.

1901.953 -> - 12 points? - Six but 12 points?

1904.919 -> Maybe it was multiplied by two.

1906.419 -> - Let's move to the T-Cross. - T-Cross.

1910.247 -> One... two... three.

1912.8 -> Six points for the T-Cross.

1916.46 -> Now, you guys should vote for value for money.

1919.393 -> Okay, the Geely Coolray Sport Limited is priced at Php 1,218,000.

1926.955 -> On the other hand, the Volkswagen T-Cross SE has a price tag of Php 1,198,000.

1933.209 -> - Okay, so let's vote. - Which one will you vote for?

1936.683 -> You know, the heart goes out to the Geely Coolray so my vote is for that vehicle.

1943.249 -> Part of my vote is its high-tech features, reworked sunroof, sleek wheels, and a turbocharged mill.

1952.011 -> As for my vote, I go for the T-Cross.

1954.977 -> - Do you know why? - Why?

1956.036 -> The design is unique. Just like what we said earlier,

1959.343 -> "when was the last time you saw violet/purple car?"

1962.242 -> Also, the interior features are impressive like the hand gesture function and stuff like that.

1967.521 -> And the design is just unique, while the rear looks like Hamburglar which I like.

1975.192 -> I thought you'll consider aesthetics only, you're so superficial. But I was wrong. You also look at the...

1980.223 -> - ride comfort. - Oh yes.

1982.292 -> But to be honest, our audience will still decide which of the two is the better option.

1988.248 -> - Test drive these two models - Yes, we recommend you do that.

1990.61 -> And you decide for yourselves.

1992.297 -> So there you have it, our comparo of the

1994.297 -> Geely Coolray Sport Limited and Volkswagen T-Cross SE.

1997.922 -> So until we see each other in the next video,

2000.955 -> [Philkotse boys] bye-bye.

2003.358 -> Thanks for watching.
