The great aspect about SUVs, more than the elevated driving position and sense of safety, is the peace of mind during uncertainties. Let’s say you’re heading out of town on a short getaway via unfamiliar roads. The roads may have been badly deteriorated or perhaps the place of interest is only accessible by going off trail. In an SUV, you’d be confident that it can tackle the path with ease. But here’s the thing, more often than not, a regular sedan can do it as well. Take it from this writer wh

Last week, Mazda USA announced that it will be dropping the Mazda CX-3 and Mazda 6 from its local line-up, and didn’t announce any replacement models to fill the void. Mazda didn’t do give any reasons for the discontinuation of these two models, merely saying “As consumer interests continue to evolve, Mazda will discontinue CX-3 and Mazda 6 for the 2022 model year for the US market.” Naturally, this raised questions pertaining the two models’ future in Malaysia.

Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) just took the covers off the VW Tiguan Allspace – a 7-seater variant of the regular Tiguan.

(2019 Toyota Vios prices and specs | Gallery) To begin with, a full disclosure – my daily is a 2014 (third generation pre-facelift) Toyota Vios and some bias may be involved in this review, but not in the way that you think, it's actually against the Toyota Vios.
