According to The Star, the driver had lost control of his vehicle and crashed down the hill-slope. Fortunately, the driver managed to escape from the vehicle before it burst into flames, so no

As we all hang on the edges of our seats awaiting the announcement if Movement Control Order would be extended yet again, we can only hope that none of our important appliances like our cars would require immediate repairs. But in the event that your car breaks down, all is not despair as the government has allowed workshops to remain open though at limited hours. Since the beginning of MCO, many car companies have ordered their service centres to partially close and announced a confirmation tha

We’ve seen it often, a car missing the exit but insisted on attempting to reach said exit despite the dangerous situation around them. As is seen in this video of a Perodua Alza trying to reach the Subang Jaya exit from the middle lane of the highway. Suffice to say that though the highway is congested, this manoeuvre did not end well. Not only was the Alza holding up traffic on both lanes, but the MPV also caused massive injuries to an unsuspecting motorcyclist. And it didn’t end there, another

Malaysian used and recon car dealers and their 50,000 plus workforce are at risk of being laid off should the Covid-19 crisis prolong for more than 2 months, according to a report by New Straits Times (NST). While dealers have braced for the impact of the Movement Control Order (MCO), the practically zero sales which leads to higher inventories, poor consumer sentiments on the economy, and high fixed operational cost are taking their toll.

When you buy a brand-new car, you have to go through a run-in (or break-in) period for the first 1,000 km. Unfortunately, you can’t just gun it right after taking delivery from the showroom. As such with our new Perodua Ativa, the first thing in order is to run it in. How to run in the car? Drive the car carefully without exceeding a certain rpm and speed limit. In every car’s owner manual, the instructions for the run-in period are explicitly stated. And for the case of our Perodua Ativa, the r

The actual cost of owning a car is a lot higher than just your monthly instalments, and we’re not talking about insurance or maintenance, itself already a big chunk of a car’s total ownership cost. Beyond maintenance, depreciation is the biggest ‘cost’ for a car owner. However, very few see it that way because it’s not something that you feel until you have to sell your car. It’s like losing money on stocks; it’s paper loss until you actually sell it, which you have to at some point. Remember th
