In this upwardly mobile society, having a means of transportation is a necessity and in places where public transport is either absent or inefficient, having your own car is a must. While some might see them as a luxury, there are those who needed them to supplement their income or to commute. That said, for many who are budget-conscious, the threshold of owning a brand-new car shouldn’t breach the six-figure mark. While there are plenty of cars likely to be launched here in Malaysia in 2023, we

Well, Geely’s External Communications Director, Ashley Sutcliffe shares his experience of owning one in a recent Geely Uncut video.

As far as 4x4 vehicles go, I've always had a thing for the Suzuki Jimny. Back in the day, my dad used to have one. He was in the construction industry, and he needed one for site visits. It was also the car he ferried us to and from school with. I still remember our Jimny vividly. Red paint, black steel wheels, a floppy manual transmission and.... all-round drum brakes (yes I was already a car nerd by then). It was bumpy as hell (my mother refused go anywhere in it!), smelled of mud and petrol,

This year marks the 100th anniversary of one of the world’s largest car makers. It is also one of only three companies in the world that still produces both cars and motorcycles. I am talking about Suzuki. And word on the grapevine is that Suzuki is about to make a return to Malaysia after a four-year absence.
