Long waiting period of more than 3 months for popular new car models has become the norm since the Covid-19 pandemic started in 2020. Shortage in labour and supply of semiconductor parts post-pandemic, along with unstable logistics, make it difficult to predict when will this problem go away. We’ve already compiled the waiting period for Perodua models here. Now it’s Proton’s turn. The short answer is between 1 to 5 months, which is a lot shorter than Perodua’s 6.5 to 9.5 months for a Perodua Be

You read that right – it’s actually cheaper to maintain the new 2022 Perodua Myvi over a 5-year period compared to the model it replaces. Let’s take a closer look and see how much owners of the new Perodua Myvi are expected to pay in terms of maintenance over a 5-year / 100,000-km period. Over a 5-year / 100,000-km period, it costs RM 2,944 to maintain the new 2022 Myvi, while it costs RM 3,000 to maintain the pre-facelift Myvi over the same period. At the same time, it is worth mentioning that

Now this is a big surprise. The Indonesian government has more or less confirmed that the Daihatsu Sirion, which is a Perodua Myvi imported from Malaysia, will be getting a new CVT-type automatic transmission by 2022, replacing the current model’s 4-speed automatic. According to Indonesia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs announcement No.40 for Year 2021 regarding adjustments on vehicle tax calculation, two unnamed models with the model code M804RS and suffix 1.3 CVT have been added to the list of

With today's Proton hedging its bets on SUVs and mainstream models, past models like the Proton Satria Neo has become all but forgotten. It's safe to say that Proton will not be building another low volume, 2-door hatchback just to satisfy a small segment of the market. Having said that, the Proton Satria Neo wasn't without its qualities, although interior build quality wasn't one of its.... qualities. That aside, does the Proton Satria Neo make good sense as a used car purchase? Well, I think I

Just yesterday photos of the all-new 2021 Proton Iriz Active surfaced on social media giving us a good view of how the new crossover-like variant’s front-end will look like. Now, more photos have surfaced allowing us to see the interior in more detail. The Iriz Active’s interior seems to echo the exterior colour which we suspect to be the same Passion Red colour on the Proton X50. Also read: Leaked! Proton Persona MC2 facelift and Proton Iriz Active revealed days before launch Other than the red

We’ve reported plenty of spyshots of the upcoming Proton Iriz crossover, most likely to be launched as the Iriz Active, testing alongside its standard Proton Iriz and Proton Persona siblings but never this up close and clear! Judging by how the Iriz crossover's taillights are covered while the standard Iriz's are not, we suspect that the taillights on the crossover might be slightly different from the standard Iriz. Another new detail on the front fascia is also the presence of the new Infinite
