Since 2020, the Royal Malaysia Police Force (PDRM) has been using the last-generation Honda Civic FC for patrolling duties. The Malaysian 5-0 uses the base Civic S which is powered by a naturally aspirated (NA) 1.8-litre i-VTEC (145 PS/175 Nm) but as seen in this photo, it looks like the current generation FE will be added to its arsenal. Based on the set of images shared by The Ajerul on their Facebook page, the units of Civics seen on the trailer near Simpang Ampat appeared to be the base vari

Whatever car you choose, and despite all the tech that's loaded into them, your decision ultimately rests on what's under the hood. Performance and fuel efficiency are usually right up there in the Malaysian buyer's decision making matrix, and the engine that provides these must also be very reliable. Better yet if it's not a hassle to maintain. Best if it could also hedge against next year's increasing fuel prices. A tough ask for manufacturers, so usually it's a balance between two or three of

Premiering simultaneously, the all-new 2023 Toyota Alphard and Vellfire now raise the bar for luxury MPVs even higher, delivering greater standards of luxury refinement and improved powertrains.

If you want a long-lasting car, then a Toyota or an American pick-up truck is your best bet, according to industry research website iSeecars.com. Now in its tenth year, their annual 'Longest-Lasting Cars' study analysed over 260 million cars sold between 2012 and 2022 to determine which cars were most likely to survive very high mileages.

2023 Honda WR-V to challenge Raize, Rocky, and Ativa soon Could be 1.5-litre e:HEV, 1.0-litre turbo, or 1.5-litre NA engine Entry-level SUV that could be priced like a Honda City Ever since the Toyota Raize and Daihatsu Rocky made its debut back in 2020, this entry-level SUV duo has been a sales hit in Japan. Upon its launch in Indonesia, the Raize-Rocky duo also climbed to the top of the sales chart, much like its Malaysian counterpart, the Perodua Ativa. If recent development is of any indicat

There aren’t many car models that can proudly claim that they have been on sale for more than 30 years. The Toyota Corolla and the Honda Civic are two such examples, as well as the Proton Saga. Can you believe it? The Saga is now 37 years old! 37 is not a small number for a car model, even for Proton. There are models that Proton has discontinued throughout the past 37 years, the Proton Wira is one, the Proton Iswara, and how could we forget the local ‘warm’ hatch the Proton Satria. The point is
