British cars don’t exactly come with a stellar reputation for reliability and it’s mostly at the expense of Land Rover. As the joke goes, they say 90 % of all Land Rovers manufactured are still on the road. The other 10% have actually reached their destination. It wasn’t all fun and games on 11 October 2023 though as a Land Rover caught fire at the Luton airport carpark, sparking a raging inferno that engulfed the entire building, causing it to collapse. The collapse destroyed up to 1,500 cars a

It's monumental today at Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Kuala Lumpur as the first customers have begun receiving their very own 2022 Perodua Ativa Hybrid at the currently-ongoing handover ceremony. These first owners of what is technically Malaysia's first-ever hybrid car will be participating in a two-pronged feasibility study, in which the first is to understand group driving behaviour of a hybrid vehicle in populated locations in the country, namely in the Klang Valley, Penang, and Johor Bahru.

The UMW Group maintained its healthy sales momentum last month, as the Group - made of up Perodua and UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) - delivered 32,600 units in April 2022 alone.

Though the Honda City Hatchback has been attracting the attention of Thai buyers ever since it was launched in late-2020, the model that it replaced is still on sale. That’s right, the Honda Jazz is still being sold by Honda Thailand and this Final Edition is essentially the last update given to a fairly popular hatchback. Limited to only 1,500 units, the Jazz Final Edition comes with a very cool Sonic Grey Pearl colour paintjob that is also offered on the Civic Type R and the City Hatchback in

If you've sat inside the Perodua Ativa, one thing must've stuck out to you - the placement of the central locking buttons. Unlike most cars that you might be familiar with, the Ativa's central locking buttons are situated on the centre tunnel, right next to the handbrake lever. This is vastly different from the arrangement in its donor car, the JDM Daihatsu Rocky which has no buttons - not even on the driver's door. Actually, that's one of Daihatsu's steps to further 'Malaysianise' the Ativa fro

** This article is the personal experience of a 2019 Proton Persona 1.6 Premium CVT owner and does not necessarily reflect the views of WapCar Facebook: Louis Lim My white 2019 Proton Persona 1.6 Premium CVT was bought about 4 months ago at a price of around RM55k. As I was still a student going for internship soon at that time, I needed my first car to travel to work every day. Due to budget constraint, I had to choose a local car that fits my budget. Therefore, I was left with a few choices an
