We are talking about first hand experience in driving through floods, and not just 'on paper' specs.
What car did you use, and what flood height did you drive through? Lets just use anatomic terms sa height - hangang ankles, binti, hangang baywang na baha.

Oo nga.....
Iyong mga bros natin na naka EcoSport, na highly advertised/promoted for its [supposed] (flood-)fording capability....
Ano na ang inyong EcoSport-baha experience?...
(Di ba you are as good only as the weakest link/s on the road?.... )

'95 Honda Civic LX, way back in 2010. Knee deep flood. For the 1st time I lost my brakes afterwards kasi nabasa, muntik na ko makabangga ng jeep. Buti kumagat din after a couple hundred meters.

Rule of thumb right after getting off the flood, gradually step on the breaks while mobile and do not speed up to dry up the disk/drum.
BTT:
Hangang leeg na baha in the vicinity of Mandaluyong city hall way back in the late 80's. Using my Isuzu Luv "big foot" pick-up lifted with 33" Dick Cepek wheels. Parang nakalutang lang yung pick up sa tubig since bumper itself is already chest high. :surfing:

Waded my old Exalta Grandeur in Dinalupihan back in 2006, water almost reached the top of the tires but the car kept going. Checked the car on the nearest gas station past the flooded area, no water got inside or any damage. With the same car a year later, it got trapped in Amorsolo-Makati during heavy downpour and water rose up to half the height of the tires. My drain seal got busted so water got inside the carpet but no electrical damage. A fellow NB member had a carwash shop in BF so he told me he can have the carpet washed and dried for 1500.
