Honda Malaysia announced a proactive product update, which is the PR term for a voluntary recall, involving approximately 36,000 units of the Civic, Civic Type R, and CR-V. This activity is to update the electric power steering (EPS) gearbox, specifically its worm wheel which may swell and reduce grease film thickness. This can cause abnormal steering noise or sticky steering. The models involved in this product update include the 2022-23 Civic, 2023-24 Civic Type R, and 2024 CR-V. In a statemen

What better way to celebrate unity than uniting yourself with a new car, especially a Honda? Now that barrier is even lower, courtesy of Honda Malaysia's 'Jiwa Madani' promotions. The clue is in the name – 'One Nation, Triple Joy' – so there's a stackable system of rebates going on. The base promotion will see you getting at least RM 3,000* off, with some models having a higher quantum of rebates. Take the Honda Civic 1.5 E for example. You already get an RM 7,500* Unity Rebate, and that is then

If you've been eyeing a new car, then Honda Malaysia's 'One Spirit, Triple Rewards' promo for August is one you should pay attention too. The base promotion is valid while stocks last, and entitles customers up to RM 8,000 in rebates. To be clear though, certain models can get an extra RM 2k - RM 3k rebate under the Merdeka Jiwa Madani Reward, but these cars need to be registered before 31-August 2024. For example, with full rebates this allows the Honda Civic to start at RM 123,900 (1.5 E), and

10 minutes – that’s all it took for me to decide that the all-new 2024 Honda CR-V e:HEV RS is my car of the year. It was one of those moments when everything feels right, and you know this is the car. I spent about five minutes looking through the interior, feeling the materials, evaluating the space and ergonomics, getting in and out, etc. Then, I drove it for five minutes before realising this is the car to beat, the new yardstick. The 2024 Honda CR-V is such a well-packaged, well-designed, we

The concept of “adherence to composer’s intentions” is a pertinent and divisive thought in music studies. Depending on who you learn from, some teachers emphasise that musicians should replicate the sound exactly as composers like Schubert intended, without ifs and buts. On the other hand, the idea of “interpretation” allows performers to inject their own personality into the pieces. This approach can be contentious; too much imagination can obscure the music, while too little can render it colo

Forget the marketing fluff and lifestyle mantras; it’s about finding what truly fits your requirements.
