After a little over a decade of hiatus, Proton returned to South Africa in 2022 with a pair of Geely-based SUVs, the Proton X50 and X70. Just recently, the Malaysian tiger also uploaded a series of teaser posts of its third model to enter the South African market and it’s a familiar name. The Proton Saga was previously sold in South Africa from 2010 right until the Malaysian carmaker decided to pull out of the market in 2014-15. Back then, the BLM Saga was one of the most affordable sedans sold

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 Perodua Myvi is up to something again and don’t worry, it’s not being a nuisance. Instead, the Myvis are proving they can wade through the flood like a Ford Ranger as multiple cars were spotted going through the flood like a champ. Unlike the adorable Wuling Mini EV, which was basically just floating through the floodwaters, the Myvis in the 3-minute video calmly broke the water surface like a pick-up truck would.

If you're in the subset of Malaysians who think of your car as the paint on the canvas of your personality, then chances are you'd have balked at the 2021 Honda City RS’ RM 105,950 price tag. It doesn't quite make sense at first glance. Add RM 3k and you can get the RM 109k Honda Civic (FC) 1.8S. Because isn't the Civic objectively better? It's roomier, it's got a bigger engine, and casual observers may think you're more successful because you drive a Civic. Having lived with one for a week, I d

By now, you're probably familiar with how Hyundai works: launch a pedestrian model, and along the line, develop a sinister sibling that crackles and pops. They've done it five times before, and this 2021 Hyundai Elantra N is their sixth full-N model. Prior to this, we've seen the recipe take the form of the Hyundai i20 N, i30 N, i30 Fastback N, Veloster N, and the Kona N.

There is a good reason why the Perodua Myvi is Malaysia’s best-selling car, as no other segment rivals can beat its value-for-money proposition. Couple that with its stellar fuel economy and reputation for rock-solid reliability, it’s hard to topple the Myvi as the nation's best-selling car. When it was introduced back in late-2017, it was the first sub-RM60k car to feature Perodua’s ASA ADAS suite, which includes Pre-Collision Warning and Braking, Front Departure Alert, and Pedal Misoperation C
