Fancy a top-less Perodua Kancil? It's on sale!

We’ve seen videos of creative project cars from all over the world and even from the less urban areas of Malaysia, the last thing we would expect to see is someone making a project out of a Perodua Kancil and turn it into a top-less "convertible". But that was exactly what surfaced on a Facebook group dedicated to selling second-hand cars. We have to say, it’s pretty cute. It is impossible to tell what year the Kancil was manufactured, because other than having its roof seared off, the owner has

10 tips on how to save money on your car's fuel cost

Apart from insurance and maintenance, another big ticket item that we have to spend on our cars is fuel. Sure, fuel price is at the lowest now due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but that doesn’t mean you are permanently immune from rising fuel cost, or you can't improve things further. As a general rule of thumb, you should always read through your car's owner’s manual and look for the recommended grade of fuel required, as well as recommended driving/maintenance habits. Here are 10 top tips from us

Perodua Kancil vs Proton Saga – Which is the original Malaysian people’s car?

Okay, readers, this has been rattling around my head for the past week. As Malaysians, it is our sworn duty to protect and support all things Malaysian. Our national flower is the hibiscus, the national animal – the Malayan Tiger, and our breakfast of champions – nasi lemak with a side of fried eggs and sambal ikan bilis. But when it comes to cars, it is a bit of a difficult choice with which to award as the Malaysian people’s car? Is it the Perodua Kancil, the city roundabout that gave many Mal

Nak tukar ‘air filter’, tapi apa yang sesuai? 'Open-pod' atau 'drop-in'?

Seperti namanya, tugas utama penapis udara (air filter) adalah menyaring udara masuk ke enjin anda. Ini sangat penting untuk operasi enjin. Mempunyai penapis udara yang kotor dapat menyekat aliran udara masuk dan seterusnya mengganggu prestasi serta ekonomi bahan bakar. Jika penapis anda gagal, ia membenarkan benda asing seperti daun, habuk, dan batu-batu kecil masuk ke dalam kebuk pembakaran. Ini boleh menyebabkan kerosakan enjin. Sebab itulah mengapa penapis udara sangat penting. Terdapat pelb

The evolution of Perodua “kosong” spec cars

Cars are expensive. We usually take 5, 7, or even 9 years just to pay them off. Some of us may take the Dave Ramsey route of avoiding loans, but that’s not a popular thing to do. With the tight-budgeted consumer in mind, auto manufacturers have provided us with base spec or “kosong” spec cars. As basic as they are, they serve the purpose of taking you from one place to another. A “kosong” spec car may have been your first car, the company car, or the car you learned to drive in.

Did you know that driving on an almost empty fuel tank could damage your fuel pump?

While most of us suffer from empty fuel tank anxiety the moment the fuel gauge drops to 2 bars, some risk-takers tend to push their cars to the very last drop of the fuel before refuelling. Did you know that this is not good for your car’s health? Honda Malaysia recently uploaded a simple PSA on its Facebook page explaining that this is a rather common practice among car owners. Continuing to drive your car until the fuel gauge starts blinking red will cause problems in the longer term, the most

How fuel efficient is the Toyota Yaris?

The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated heart of the 2019 Toyota Yaris is a familiar unit. The 2NR-FE engine is one that powers the Toyota Vios and has been in use since UMW Toyota gave the sedan an update in 2016. Back then, UMW claims that the new engine was an effort for better fuel efficiency, and the Yaris definitely proves itself to be a fuel sipping car. Mated to a CVT with seven sequential gears, the Yaris’ engine produces 107 PS and 140 Nm, 13 PS less than Honda Jazz. It’s hardly the fastest
