As a petrolhead, we all aspire to own multiple types of cars, be it a executive sedan with a silky-smooth engine, or a pocket rocket for hooning around town. Realistically speaking, sensible car buyers won’t be purchasing multiple cars; instead, they will be buying one car that can do it all – transporting their family in comfort and yet practical enough for a weekend shopping spree. With a set budget of RM 100,000, let’s take a closer look at which used cars can do it all. Honda Civic FC – The

Despite the all-new 2022 Honda HR-V that is available in our neighbours across ASEAN looking like the Japan-spec Vezel, they are different on the inside. In particular, the infotainment head unit.

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.
