After being on sale in Malaysia for about a year, Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) has discontinued the Mk8 Volkswagen Golf here. We received a tip from one of our readers who reached out to us and true enough, the Golf R-Line has vanished from VPCM’s site. When the Mk8 Golf R-Line was on sale, it was priced from RM 169,990, making it one of the pricier C-segment hatchbacks on sale. For comparison, the made-in-Japan (CBU) Mazda 3 Hatchback is priced between RM 143,320 to RM 161,059. Wit

Take a good look at these two cars above. By 2030, you probably won't be able to waltz into showrooms to buy either the Toyota GR86 / Subaru BRZ, or the Mk8 VW Golf GTI new anymore, at least not with the formula these cars are best known for. You can thank new crash test regulations and an increasing disdain of internal combustion engines (ICE) for that. Golf GTI Mk8 continues to be fast, capable, and immensely practical. GR86 / BRZ represents the apogee in affordable RWD driving purity. Last ch

The Honda Jazz is also known as Fit in some regions, and it’s a bit of a funny story as to how the name ‘Jazz’ came about. Honda originally intended the name to be ‘Fitta’, and upon discovering that it is a slang word for vagina in Swedish, they decided to go with a different nameplate instead. It’s even funnier when the intended slogan for the Honda Jazz/Fit was ‘Small on the outside, big on the inside.’ Oh boy. Anyway, compared to other Honda models like the Civic or Accord, the Jazz hasn’t be

The Mercedes-Benz A-Class has always been known to us as a hatchback. Indeed, the A45 AMG still holds the reputation of being the most powerful hot-hatch in its class, but Mercedes-Benz decided to mesh things up and unleashed a sedan version as well. What’s different other than its looks? The answer is: not much.
