city car driving simulator
Geely has announced a new driving simulator will be installed for its technology and engineering development division, China Euro Vehicle Technology AB (CEVT), in spring 2021. The VI-grade DiM250 driving simulator is designed to simulate any track or road in the world with real-life environments. What’s amazing is there is a car-shaped cockpit that engineers and designers could replace with any models or prototypes in development. Theoretically, you could put in a Proton X70, a Volvo S60, or eve
Have you always wanted to try driving around the Sepang International Circuit but you've never had the car to do so? Or you've reached the highest level in your usual video games and you're now on the look out for something more challenging? Or you're just plain bored because of the lockdown with travel restrictions still in place? If you answered yes to one of these questions, then why not try simulator racing? You can either hire someone to set up the sim rig for you or you can choose to do it
The lockdown isn’t all bad for some of us that has a flair for DIY work. This Malaysian dad spent his Movement Control Order (MCO) building a simulator rig for not only himself, but for his 5-year-old daughter as well. According to an interview with Says, car racing simulator enthusiast Chris Aaron initially started building a simulator rig for himself but it has always been his intention to teach his daughter the basics of how to handle a car at a young age. However, he quickly realised that hi

Before we go any further, we need to establish two things. First, the all-new fifth generation 2020 Honda City RS e:HEV hybrid (GN series) is yet to be launched in Malaysia. Second, prices have not been announced. However, we were given an early preview drive in the all-new 2020 City, in its range topping RS guise, on the condition that we don't mention anything about City's interior – that will have to wait until the car is launched. We were only given a two-lap drive around the Melaka Internat

Yet another car was caught driving in the wrong direction! And this time it happened at the very busy LDP Puchong toll right before the exit to Sunway Pyramid. The viral video showed an unidentified white car speeding towards the LDP toll on the wrong side of the road, while an auxiliary police tow truck is seen chasing after the car on the other side of the road. According to Harian Metro, the car might have already travelled at least 10 km on the wrong side of the highway. The auxiliary police

I have just recently started working for around 1.5 years or so and was earning around RM3.5K per month.

It seems the craze for concept and Instaworthy cafes isn’t just hot in Malaysia, the rage apparently extends to our neighbours in Indonesia as well! Even Honda has decided to jump on the bandwagon with the opening of the first Dreams Café powered by Honda in Jakarta. Honda fans can now enjoy a cup of coffee while lounging next to all things Honda. The café is decorated with an Ayatori concept in mind. Ayatori, or known as String Figure, is a traditional Japanese game that uses a string to form v
The N18 generation Nissan Almera has won the WapCar.my’s Readers’ Pick 2020 Car of the Year (COTY) award, having secured the most votes (13,475 votes), ahead of the Proton X50 (11,1100 votes) and Honda City (8,753 votes). This also means that the Nissan Almera is winner of the overall 2020 Car of the Year award. The Mitsubishi Xpander and Volvo S60 also won the most votes in their respective categories. With 4,188 votes, the Mitsubishi Xpander edged the Honda BR-V (2,139 votes) to win the 7-seat
Honda has launched its new Honda Sensing Elite safety system in Japan, the world's first road level 3 (L3) autonomous driving system. The first Honda car to be equipped with this system is the updated 2021 Honda Legend EX. If you are wondering why is the Honda Legend's Sensing Elite the world's first L3 autonomous driving car when Audi announced it in 2017 for its Audi A8, that's because the A8 is technically only an L3-capable car. The feature has yet to be approved by European authorities. The
Driving against traffic is becoming a rampant issue these days, and these days they are seen driving on busy roads as well. Just last month we reported that a white car was caught driving on the wrong side of the road at from Icon City in Kelana Jaya to the Sunway toll. Luckily, the incident happened during the early hours of the morning so the usually busy road is deserted. But in this video, a rogue Perodua Myvi is seen driving against traffic on Federal Highway and as you can see, the roads w

Terletak di Ground Floor, Senayan Park Jakarta, Dreams Café merupakan kafe pertama di dunia yang dibuka oleh Honda. Ia dibina dan dihias dengan k
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. Yesterday, a 35-year old man in Japan was killed when his Honda N-Box was hit head-on by a Toyota Crown driven by a 78-year old man who was driving against traffic. The incident happened yesterday 6-January, at 12.40 am at the Nishimeihan Expressway in Yamatokōriyama city, in Nara prefecture. The younger driver died o
When driving turns into an art form, it can captivate even people with the faintest interest in cars. This is why Hollywood churns out movies like Need for Speed, Baby Driver and even Fast and Furious, which, after 8 renditions, is really just an action movie unrelated to cars. The latest being Ford versus Ferrari. Watched that yet? Don’t worry this is not a spoiler post, though we would love to hear what Formula 1 driver Daniel Riccardo has to say about the racing sequences! Before we can get a
Mention self-driving cars and one of the first things you’re thinking of is Tesla and its Autopilot feature. But Teslas are expensive in Malaysia, costing nearly a million ringgit. That is pretty out of reach for many Malaysians wanting to experience what it's like for the car to take control of the wheel. However, a brand-new local tech start-up has decided to show Malaysians that self-driving technology is indeed for everyone, not just the extremely wealthy. The company is called Kommu.ai and
Autonomous driving, or aka self-driving cars and driverless cars, is now all the range. Everybody from Tesla and Google to Mercedes-Benz and more are looking into developing autonomous cars! But before driverless cars became an ‘it’ thing, here is an autonomous car that was created back in the 1990s by a South Korean professor and his students.

The B-segment sedan race is heating up for sure with UMW Toyota just only announcing (estimated) prices for the latest 2021 Toyota Vios facelift. Malaysians are pretty much spoilt for choice in getting a brand-new B-segment sedan with rivals like the Honda City and the Nissan Almera also vying to get buyers. However, which of the three would be the right choice? We’ll take a quick look and compare the highest specs (highest petrol-powered variant in the case of the City) of the 3 popular non-nat
When we brought you the closer look of the 2020 Honda CR-V facelift last week, we also saw the all-new 2020 Honda City parking pretty outside. We know you're clamouring to know more - so we politely asked for the keys and took it for a spin. Please note that this is a brief review, and a detailed review will follow post-CMCO. We drove the V variant - which is the range-topping petrol variant before the upcoming hybrid RS - and here's what we think of it following a brief drive around Kuala Lumpu
(Model | Gallery) The Honda City needs no introduction, as it is Malaysia's favourite non-national B-segment sedan. Honda Malaysia offers several variants of the City, ranging from the affordable City 1.5 S (from RM 73,836) all the way up to the City Hybrid (from RM 92,172). We reckon that the Honda City Hybrid is worth it, as the sophisticated powertrain transforms the unassuming Honda City into a capable performer that does not sacrifice fuel consumption. Exterior – Few Hybrid emblems that sep
Honda Malaysia has just launched the Honda Connect advanced vehicle telematics technology. This feature would allow users to connect to their cars with a touch of their fingertips via a smartphone app and the Honda City RS will be the first model to come with this feature. The key functions of Honda Connect include: Vehicle Diagnostics Remote Applications Security Applications Vehicle Tracking Support Services Honda Connect has divided these functions into three categories, namely Safety, Securi
Driving on a rainy day requires extra concentration. The roads are slippery and visibility is lower than usual. Rainy days also create unwanted puddles, which if they’re big enough, can be called floods. You might have seen some cars wading through water like it’s nothing. You are tempted to do it too, sometimes. After all, water doesn’t get into your engine, right? Well, it depends on how deep the water is, how fast you drive through it, and how well your engine bay is protected. But as a gener
Amidst the launch of the Honda Connect, Honda Malaysia has also said that the long-awaited Honda City RS hybrid variant will begin delivery to customers from this month onwards. Honda’s telematics system which is already available in Thailand since 2018 will be making its Malaysian debut with the City RS. Honda Connect is able to keep track of your car’s location, remind you of its next service date as well as calling the emergency if you’re involved in a collision. Also read: Honda Connect debu
Maintenance cost comparison: Proton X50, Honda City, Mitsubishi Xpander - Which car is the cheapest?
Before we get started, let’s dive into the figures first. Capping the period to 5 years/100,000 km, the Honda City costs RM 3,669 to maintain, while the Proton X50 costs RM 4,326 and the Mitsubishi Xpander costs RM 4,215. But before we go further, there is a reason why we are comparing an SUV, a sedan, and an MPV. The simple reason is because like all crossovers/SUVs these days, the X50 and Xpander are aimed at sedan/hatchback owners looking for an upgrade. There's no real reason why anyone need
If you are sitting at home, bored with your unproductive life (because your wife is doing all the housework while dressed up pretty and cute?), know that there exists a Doraemon car driving game. The game is pretty old, but chances are, you didn’t know about until today. You can play it here on your browser. It’s a Flash media game so you will need to enable Adobe Flash Player on your browser.The premise of the game is pretty simple. Doraemon drives an open-top truck (because she is done doing t

Following last month's giveaway of a Honda Civic to the first of nine lucky winners of Honda Malaysia's Road to 900,000th Unit Milestone campaign, the second winner has just walked away with a Honda HR-V. Mr. Lim Hong Ngee from Setapak said, “I am very excited that I will be the owner of a new HR-V, which is my second Honda SUV. I particularly like the sporty exterior design and spacious interior as well as the convenience that it provides for family travel. Overall, I am very happy and looking
