I absolutely despise the previous generation Nissan Almera. It wasn’t a bad car in terms of comfort and reliability but the N17 Almera is pathetic in every other aspect. I hate the way it looks, the way it drives, and the fact that so many Malaysians bought one in its near decade of existence. So when the replacement to the modern-day equivalent of the Datsun Sunny was introduced in 2020, the N18 Nissan Almera experienced a massive glow-up. It went from a car with so many faults to one with so f

Remember the story about a bunch of Malaysian students in Scotland going apeshit when they came across a first gen Perodua Myvi in the city of Edinburgh where they were studying?

(2020 VW Vento Price and Specs | Gallery) The B-segment market is a tough one – established models like the Toyota Vios and Honda City have both conquered the segment since the early 2000s, leaving little room for other rivals to survive. Exterior – Volkwsagen can design a handsome-looking sedan Unlike other hatchback-derived sedan models with a tacked-on boot (looking at you Proton Persona), Volkswagen has done a swell job transforming the Polo into a sedan, as the rear end does not look like a

The average person who is used to combustion engine cars might find this hard to believe, but the first batch BMW i3s – numbering 30 units in total - was sold out just two weeks after its launch earlier in April. The response was certainly a surprise even for BMW Group Malaysia and supply remains tight but additional shipments of i3s are on their way. To put it into perspective, 30 tech-savvy early adopters would rather have an i3s rather than a BMW 3 Series. To recap, the i3s is priced at RM 27

A three-door hatchback that spanned from 1994 to 2015 across two generations. During the heydays of Proton R3 (Race, Rally, Research), Proton’s own in-house racing development arm, the Proton R3 team made some highly limited, mean machines that tug the heartstrings
