Wrestling superstar and now silverscreen action star John Cena is the latest big name to join the mind-boggling Fast & Furious franchise but unlike the muscle cars his character throws around, he’s gone the opposite direction in real life by daily driving a 2020 Honda Civic Type R FK8. After catching his performance as the long-lost brother of Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto in the Fast franchise, many would’ve pegged him as a muscle man as well. That’s not to say that like all petrolheads with dee

Previously, we put a brand-new Perodua Myvi against a used Honda Jazz (GK). This time, we’re substituting the Honda Jazz for its arch-rival – the Toyota Yaris. Being newer than the Honda Jazz (the Yaris was launched in 2019), selection in the used market isn’t quite as wide and prices are slightly higher as well, averaging in the mid-RM 60k for a 2019 model. Which means those shopping for a brand-new Perodua Myvi will need to fork out an additional RM 10k or thereabouts for a used Toyota Yaris.

During the Proton 1 Tank Adventure back in 2019, the lowest fuel consumption recorded in the 2019 Proton Persona 1.6L was 5.03-litre/100 km. However, the drivers were most definitely hypermiling the Persona with the air conditioning off and whatnot. We’ve tested it in normal conditions and here’s our result. As per our SOP (it has always been constant), all tyres were inflated according to the manufacturer's recommended tyre pressure. Then the Proton Persona’s 40-litre fuel tank was brimmed. Dri

In the early 2000s, the hardworking people at Perodua were scratching their heads trying to understand why sales of their oldest model, the Perodua Kancil was increasing. Isn’t that a good thing you ask? Well normally, you would expect demand for an ageing model to decline over time. However, between 1995 and 2002, sales of the Perodua Kancil grew by 56 percent, from 39,856 units to 62,279 units, outpacing the industry’s overall growth by 6 percent. This is highly unusual because by 2002, the Ka

Whether you like it or not, continuously variable transmissions (CVT) are here to stay, as these transmissions offer superior fuel efficiency, perfect for city driving, and are relatively cheap to build. But before we get started, let’s take a closer look at what makes a CVT, a CVT. What is a CVT? At its very heart (ok, it's called the inner housing of the transmission), a CVT-type automatic transmission houses several belts and pulleys in place of physical gears in regular torque converter auto
