Basic information about my car: 2019 Perodua Myvi 1.5 AV 2. Reasons why I bought this car: -To replace my stolen and aging Proton Iswara 1.3 (M), as Proton is discontinued to manufacture its genuine spare parts, the higher the risk of car theft for their spare parts. -As a type of transport for me to go and back from work.

The all-new 2023 Honda HR-V bound for America will be looking very much different from the ones sold overseas (and arriving in Malaysia soon). Following its exterior reveal, Honda USA has just recently teased the crossover’s cabin. Based on the Civic FE, the North American-spec HR-V is bigger and wider than its global counterpart. Besides the platform, another ethos shared with the Civic is the interior design philosophy which Honda calls “Simplicity and Something”. Honda hasn’t revealed the ful

Many automotive aficionados have a soft spot for Hondas and it’s easy to see why with its Type R models and VTEC engines that infamously kicks in (yo!).

The newly formed Kia manufacturing joint venture made between Bermaz Auto Berhad and Kia Motors Corporation - Kia Malaysia Sdn Bhd (KMSB) - will become Kia’s regional manufacturing hub. It will be Kia's first manufacturing joint venture plant in Asia outside of China. Apart from China and Korea, Kia has only two other manufacturing facilities in Asia. The one in India is wholly owned by Kia Motor while the one in Vietnam is owned by Truong Hai Auto Corp (Thaco). Kia does not hold any stake in th

Back at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show, Daihatsu showcased the DN Trec concept, a concept SUV that embodied the “active, fun, tough” theme. Let’s take a closer look and see how much the DN Trec evolved from a concept car into the Toyota Raize/Daihatsu Rocky. From the exterior, Daihatsu refined much of the design elements on the DN Trec to give it a more angular and rugged design, as keywords they uncovered after conducting a survey on younger buyers included “active” and “power”. Back then, many spec
