Japan’s tenth automotive manufacturer, Mitsuoka, builds eccentric-looking models on existing cars. The likes of the Mazda MX-5, Toyota RAV4, and Toyota Yaris have been transformed into something completely different and their latest victim model is based on the Honda Civic. For now, the Mitsuoka M55 is still a concept with no plans for production. The name is in celebration of the quirky carmaker’s 55th anniversary having been founded in 1968 as a workshop and dealer specialising in European car

High praise unanimously follows the 2022 Honda Civic in Malaysia, but as it is, there's many detractors of it on social media. No matter though, as much as we likened it to a 'front-wheel drive BMW' with an interior to match Mazda's, it seems we have a supporter in the Drift King himself, Keiichi Tsuchiya.

In an earlier iteration of this comparison, we pit the two range-toppers together: how the hybrid 2022 Honda HR-V RS fares against its rival, the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid (link here).

With less moving parts, BEVs should be a lot more reliable. The keyword here is ‘in theory.’ Based on USA’s Consumer Reports survey of more than 300,000 vehicle owners, electric SUVs were singled out to be a lot poorer in reliability than hybrids, which have the highest number of components for any vehicle type (combustion engine + EV par

More than a year after its global debut in Thailand, the next stop on the Toyota Corolla Cross’ whirlwind tour is Japan. Unlike the rest of the world, the Japanese-spec Corolla Cross sports a different front fascia design. This sleeker and cleaner treatment puts it in line with the rest of the Corolla line-up in Japan. Instead of the ellipses Toyota logo, a large C is placed on the front so that people would recognise it as a Corolla. The Japanese Corolla Cross is built at the Takaoka Plant in J

Subramaniam Venkatachalam 我国市场其实有个不成文的规矩：鄙视链的底端，是属于韩国泡菜车的。加上“混合动力”这四个大字，绝对能够吓跑许多吃瓜群众。不过，我当然不是普通的吃瓜群众。实话实话，买了它后，直到今日，我绝不后悔！ 先为大家介绍一点我的拥车历史。我拥有的第一部车，和大多数马来西亚人一样，是一部随处可见的2008年 Myvi 1.3 SXi。这部车，是我上大学时家人让我继承而来。既然是马来西亚神坛级车款，它没有任何毛病，正常保养就可以了！不过，人都是贪婪的- 虽然Myvi完全没有任何问题，不过我还是有颗躁动的心，觉得是时候购买真正意义上的：“人生一部车”！ 既然是我的第一部车，我就想要尽可能独特的车款。Volkswagen Scirocco, Mitsubishi AS
