You may have noticed our king of the road, the Perodua Myvi, slugging it out in the Sepang 1000KM (S1K) endurance race last year. That made it the first and only Myvi to take on the gruelling S1K race and this year, the team are back with a vengeance for a stronger finish under a new name. Now dubbed the DMM 204 Speedster, the team are gearing up for the 2023 S1K with new faces and new sponsors but with the same goal of bettering their record last year.

The Perodua Myvi is a hometown hero, having major success in Malaysia but not elsewhere. Still, it has been exported to a few markets overseas including Indonesia where the King is known as the Daihatsu Sirion. Despite Daihatsu being one of the most popular brands in Indonesia, the Sirion often sits at the bottom of the Big D’s sales. It is among the cheapest in its segment but is often outsold by rivals like the Toyota Yaris and the Honda City Hatchback. Even though sales are quite lacklustre (

The Honda City Hatchback is definitely turning heads with its design. Whether you think it looks like a certain three-star badged premium hatchback or not, the replacement to the Jazz is one of the most anticipated cars to be launched this year. But if you wondered how would a track-focused City Hatchback look like, Grand Prix International, the organiser of the 2021 Bangkok International Motor Show (BIMS 2021) has produced this special City Hatchback made for the circuit.

The B-segment sedan market is a hotly contested segment, ever since the introduction of Toyota Vios back in 2002. It was created specifically to be sold in the ASEAN region, and with a starting price of RM 73,600, it was the cheapest non-national car to be sold in Malaysia, up until the launch of Toyota Avanza in 2004, with a price tag of RM 55,967. Toyota Vios With the booming popularity of the Vios, it was a matter of time before their closest rival Honda to come up with a worthy opponent, and
