While performance and speed are traits that we as petrolheads readily embrace, the reality is that as a daily, we would much rather go for something comfortable. Would you rather walk on some uncomfortable clogs over a pair of pillowy loafers? Unlike the clothes we wear, there is something else that is of concern especially when buying a car – reliability. So, for this article, we’re choosing used cars that excel in providing a comfortable ride all without blowing your bank account on repair bil

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is now a rather common feature. What used to be exclusive only to luxury cars, is now available even on regular, common man’s cars like the Perodua Ativa, Proton X50, and Honda City.

The Daihatsu Rocky and its identical twin brother the Toyota Raize have been given a maximum 5-star rating for crash safety protection by the Japan New Car Assessment Program (JNCAP). It scored a reasonably good 85.7 points out of the maximum 100 points, which nudges it just slightly above the minimum 82 points required for a 5-star rating. Unlike Euro NCAP, JNCAP gives separate ratings for passive safety (crash protection) and active safety (collision avoidance). While the Rocky/Raize did well
