With the Road and Transport Department (JPJ) waiting for the official green light to start issuing fines for not using a child car seat, many parents are rushing to purchase a seat to avoid needing to pay the expensive fine. But unfortunately, many are looking to second-hand child seats or hand-me-downs from friends and families. Did you know that these child car seats have an expiry date? Yes, all child car seats have an expiry date or shelf life as we call it. There are many factors contributi

Once in a while, something really hot pops up in the used car markets that we just can't ignore. Partly because we are petrolheads, and partly because we like to live vicariously and look at pictures of cars we cannot afford yet. This is one such example - a 1999 Subaru Impreza (GC) sedan that looks like it just drove off a Subaru dealership a couple of hours ago. It’s obvious that it’s been lovingly restored (read: thousands of Ringgit poured into it), so let’s see what you will get for the ask

Checking our tyre pressure is an integral part of owning a car. But sadly not many car owners perform this check as often as they are supposed to. As my colleague, Eric, has highlighted, your tyre pressure easily affects your car's handling, ride and comfort and even your fuel consumption! So now you know the benefits of checking on your tyres constantly and keeping them well filled, but do you know how much air pressure to pump into your tyres? And where do you find the guide of the air pressur

Malaysians love to modify their cars. If you think you’re a person with petrol pumped in your veins, chances are you would want to tweak your ride to your liking as well. The Proton X50 might have been launched barely a week ago but Malaysia’s hyped up B-segment crossover isn’t immune to the modified ‘kakis’. This particular X50 is one of the first units delivered and the owner literally decided to spruce it up immediately after it rolled off the showroom floor. These images are provided from th

Lexus is stepping up a notch with the celebration of traditional Japanese craftmanship. As a tribute to the takumi craftsmanship that is applied to all Lexus vehicles, the luxury brand has commissioned tattoo artist Claudia De Sabe to recreate the artistry on a Lexus UX.

Just like that, we are 2 weeks into MCO 2.0. This most likely means that most of us are working from home, which then means our cars aren't driven much.

Here are some pointers that might be useful to keep in mind in this second MCO season.

The problem of motorists riding/driving against traffic is not unique to Malaysia, although your Facebook feeds will give you that it’s a growing problem confined only to Malaysia.

SUVs have a higher ride height so the car can easily go off-roading in a passenger car. But these three aunties made good use of the Mercedes-Benz GLC’s ride height to steal mangoes from a tree outside a residence instead. CCTV footages of the three cheapskate aunties getting out of a GLC to steal mangoes have been going viral. From the first video, a yellow shirt auntie was seen jumping out of the SUV before reaching up and snagging a low hanging mango already wrapped in newspaper. The second v

UMW Toyota Motor has revised the 2021 Toyota GR Yaris’ price, following the government’s surprise U-turn in extending the sales tax (SST) exemption/discount from the original deadline of 31-December 2020 to 30-June 2021. From now till 30-June 2021, those wanting to get Toyota’s newest pocket rocket can save RM 13k off the original RM 299k sticker price, bringing the final price down to a slightly more palatable RM 286,896.

One of the very prevalent questions I get all the time on car maintenance, is about engine oils. This isn't surprising, seeing that it is the one thing we cannot avoid changing after a fixed interval. Often times you'll see hypermarkets selling brands like Shell, Castrol or other branded engine oils for a far cheaper price than it usually retails. Engine oils sold at hypermarts are cheaper, but its authenticity is hard to verify. If it's the real deal, you save some money. If it's not, you will
