The Honda Civic is a beloved model that grew from a small economy car to a sort of blank canvas among tuners. It is a nameplate that has been existing for 50 years ever since the first-gen Civic debuted in 1972. The Civic is one of the best-selling cars of all time with over 18 million units sold to date. Though that number is less than half of its eternal rival, the Toyota Corolla, the appeal of the Civic has maintained strong. With 11 generations spanning 50 years, it might be difficult to cho

South East Asia is a region where Toyota dominates. Not only that, Toyota models are so ubiquitous in this part of the world that they define the region’s urban landscape. Bangkok will not be complete without bright pink Toyota Corolla taxis, Hiace tourist vans, and of course, overloaded Toyota Hiluxes. Jakarta has its Blue Bird Toyota Vios taxis (sold as the Toyota Limo), Manila has white Vios taxi fleets, Ho Chi Mih city is moved by the Toyota Innova, while Singapore’s SMRT has its purple Toyo

It is inevitable, comparing the recently-introduced 2021 Toyota Corolla Cross against one of the most popular SUVs around – the Proton X70. After all, seeing that the price of the top-spec Proton X70 is very close to the entry-level Toyota Corolla Cross (RM 123k vs RM 124k), cross-shopping between the two is bound to happen. Therein lies the question: for roughly the same amount of money for the top-spec Proton X70, should you, or should you not, add a little bit more money and get the 2021 Toyo

Following last week's media preview, Hyundai-Sime Darby Motor (HSDM) has announced prices for the all-new 2021 Hyundai Elantra. Starting from RM 158,888 (on-the-road, without insurance), the all-new Elantra is set to add some spicy competition to the C-segment sedan market. In a market dominated by the Honda Civic, how will the Korean sedan heat up? Will it be as fiery as spicy ramen or will it be a watershed moment? In this comparison, we’ll make it a three-way comparison by adding the Toyota C

After an absence of 26 years, the Honda City nameplate returns to the hatchback body style. Following its global debut in Thailand, the question among many Malaysians would be whether to decide on the 2021 Honda City Hatchback or the upcoming Toyota Yaris facelift. Granted, it would take a while before the City with a shorter booty comes to Malaysia. Meanwhile, the Yaris facelift is expected to be launched in December but nevertheless, we love comparing cars here at WapCar. Without dragging on f

Last week, our driving instructor colleague Jason shared his thoughts on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), that driver assistance features are as its name implies, merely an assistive feature. It is not a be-all and end-all for car safety, because ultimately it is the behaviour of the idiot behind the wheel that matters the most. Yes ADAS has its benefits, but it is important to remember that not all ADAS are the same. In our typical KL traffic, some ADAS are more annoying than they are
