Lagenda Yamaha SS 110, fenomena awal 90an sebelum Y-Suku!

Jika ketika ini Yamaha gah dalam segmen moped di Malaysia menerusi Y15ZR atau 'YSuku', satu masa lalu, model yang pernah mengangkat jenama Jepun itu selama beberapa tahun dalam segmen berkenaan adalah Yamaha SS 110. Tiba di pasaran pada awal era-90 an, lebih tepat pada 1991, Yamaha SS 110 sememangnya berjaya mencetus fenomena. Ia hadir bagi menggantikan Yamaha Sport 100 dengan peningkatan enjin dan reka bentuk. Bagi memikat golongan muda, Yamaha SS 110 tampil dengan reka bentuk yang dikemaskini

Barang Rare: Chevrolet El Camino 1972, pikap sasa dari Detroit!

Secara peribadinya, saya pernah melihat sebuah muscle car yang asli (bukan Datsun modifikasi) di atas jalan raya Malaysia. Deruman enjin sebuah muscle car ditambah dengan rekaan tajam memang berlainan daripada mana-mana sportscar. Oleh itu, memang tak keruan jadinya apabila melihat sebuah Chevrolet El Camino tahun 1972 untuk dijual. Kenderaan ini adalah sebuah trak pikap dan muscle car. Ya, kedua-duanya sekali. Chevrolet El Camino ini memang sebuah trak pikap dengan gabungan muscle car. Inilah i

Goldmine: 1972 Chevrolet El Camino, yours for RM 158k

It's not every day you will come across an American muscle car, what more one that is not a Ford Mustang. Whilst not my cup of tea, I can see the appeal of American muscle cars. They usually have big bodies strapped to a pushrod V8 engine, happily chugging down petrol like it was going out of fashion. Nothing shouts 'MURICA' like a good-old muscle car. Today's rare find comes in the form of a 1972 Chevrolet El Camino. This is not just a muscle car, but a pick-up truck, a 2-door one at that! This

Goldmine: A completely rebuilt 1969 Mini Van is up for grabs!

'Built, not bought' is a term not many can use but this stunning bright blue 1969 Mini Van has every right to do so. Branded as ‘zero to hero’ by its current owner, we think this Mini even deserves its own ‘Made in Malaysia’ stamp judging by the extent of work that’s gone into it. For starters, 60% of the parts are new (imported from Minispares UK) and the car has had some performance and visual upgrades to go along with it too. Powering the classic van is a 1.3-litre BMC-A engine with some welc

Who makes 2020's most reliable cars? What’s the 10 best car brands to buy from?

What’s the most reliable car brand? What brand should your next car be? Depending on who you ask, you will get different answers, depending on how they choose to make their assessment. If you were to ask the Americans at Consumer Reports, the best brands to buy are Porsche, Genesis, Subaru, Mazda, and Lexus, in that order. Something is clearly not right when a brand like Porsche tops the list of a consumer-friendly buying guide so take this with a pinch of salt. But Consumer Reports is not wrong

Suzuki RG Sport 110, legenda kapcai dua lejang yang ada 'umph'

Jika berbicara mengenai jenama motosikal Suzuki di Malaysia, antara model yang pantas terpacul pastinya RG Sport 110 yang pernah 'merajai' dunia moped atau kapcai tempatan satu ketika dulu. Diperkenalkan oleh Suzuki di Malaysia pada sekitar awal 90-an, populariti RG Sport 110 pada zaman kemuncaknya boleh diibaratkan seperti 'YSuku' ketika ini malah pernah diberi julukan sebagai moped sempurna.

Man pulled over for duct-taping flashlights to his car as headlights replacement

We’ve seen plenty of examples where car owners deck out their cars with aftermarket headlamps and housings to give their rides a little more glamour. But we have not heard of a case where the owner duct-taped torch lights onto the car! Imagine the surprise when the police pulled over a man driving a Chevrolet Impala in the USA and discovered the duct-taped torch lights. According to a report, the police initially stopped the Impala due to its unusually dim headlamps at around 2 am, but little di

The Nissan Z sports coupe (or known as Fairlady Z in Japan) is one of Nissan's successful rear-wheel-drive sports car line ever produced, spawning a legacy of over 50 years. Currently, the Nissan 370Z on sale is well over 11 years old and has passed its glory days against more modern and established rivals in the market.

VW's MQB and Toyota's TNGA: Platform sharing has gone beyond just platform sharing

Many of today’s platform-based vehicles are tailored to meet the demands of a diverse of customers, achieved by producing more models than ever before, but each using more or less the same mechanicals and electrical architecture underneath. Platform sharing allows manufacturers to increase their market share, expand their model line up, and reduce development and manufacturing costs. Originally, the term platform sharing literally stands for a shared chassis on one single model. Ford Motor Compa

We have 2 national car brands, but still no product recall law, why?

A car has on average, about 30,000 to 50,000 parts, depending on vehicle type. Despite a manufacturer's best effort, every now and then, some defective parts will inevitably slip through. As cars get more complicated and consumer rights protection are strengthened in many parts of the world, it’s only natural for recalls to become increasingly common. As much as manufacturers try their best, there’s no such thing as a zero-defect manufacturer. The nature of how mass production work and increasin

Walaupun pengilang telah cuba sedaya upaya untuk memastikan semuanya sempurna, kadang-kadang bahagian yang cacat sedikit pasti akan terlepas masuk ke produksi. Memandangkan pembuatan kereta semakin lama semakin rumit dan perlindungan hak pengguna semakin diketatkan di banyak negara, sememangnya kes panggil-semula produk jadi semakin kerap.

Looking at our WapCar car list, we have 35 car brands in Malaysia. Other sites might have posted more but even so, that’s quite a lot. Yet, there are some complaints that we have so few brands being represented here. To be honest, the Malaysian automotive market is pretty small in comparison to some of our neighbours. There’s also the fact that it might be difficult to convince Malaysian buyers to buy something different from the norm. It doesn’t matter if the brand has a cool car in its line-up
