Fun fact: The flag of Mozambique is the only one in the world that features an AK-47 on it. It’s one of the poorest countries in the world and yet, it is also the third African destination to launch the Proton X50 and Proton X70. Despite being a former Portuguese colony, the country is a right-hand drive market just like the other 2 African nations that also offer the pair of Geely-based SUVs, Kenya and South Africa. Unlike the two other nations though, this is the first time the Malaysian Tiger

As a petrolhead, we all aspire to own multiple types of cars, be it a executive sedan with a silky-smooth engine, or a pocket rocket for hooning around town. Realistically speaking, sensible car buyers won’t be purchasing multiple cars; instead, they will be buying one car that can do it all – transporting their family in comfort and yet practical enough for a weekend shopping spree. With a set budget of RM 100,000, let’s take a closer look at which used cars can do it all. Honda Civic FC – The

Pending official announcement by the carmaker, we also learn that the wireless charger must be pre-ordered first - so it's best to wait a while rather than sprinting down to your local Proton sa

When Proton first launched the X70 back in late 2018, consumers were sceptical of the car’s Chinese roots – will it be problematic, they asked. Well, that comes as no surprise, considering the history of Chinese cars sold here in the past. With the X70, Proton and Geely hope to change the perception once and for all. Despite all of their efforts, the X70 is not perfect and has some (minor) shortcomings. Is the Proton X70's fuel consumption poor? We are aware that a lot of owners have lamented ab

First introduced in 1989 with the first generation Lexus LS 400, this year marks the 30th anniversary of the luxury car brand that set new standards for quality and customer service. Lexus’ story began in August 1983 at Toyota’s headquarters in Aichi, when the then Chairman of Toyota Motor Eiji Toyoda convened for top-secret meeting and posted the question, “Can we create a luxury car to challenge the very best?” The abbreviated version of Lexus’ history often credits Eiji, who is the granduncle
