A knight in shining armor is a man who has never had his metal truly tested. Likewise, a pristine looking car is a car that hasn’t been driven much. While the former may be an inspirational phrase, the latter is a sign of a good used car. When shopping for a used car, it is normal to see dings, scratches, or the occasional putty. Small damages are good for bargaining, but a used car with major damage is much better avoided. Whether or not to go on with the purchase is entirely up to you. This en
A video of Bomba putting out fire on a badly burning car caught our attention recently, but it was not because there is a car on fire, instead it was what happened after that. A Perodua Myvi caused another accident on the highway as he slowed down to watch the Bomba put out the fire of the burning car. In the video, the person holding the camera was focussed on the burning car that the fire brigade was already working put out. But “auntie” unwittingly caught the accident between 2 Perodua Myvis
A woman whose Toyota Vios was declared a ‘total loss’ in 2019 received a shock when she was issued a summon for an accident that happened a year after her car was scrapped. The woman, known only as Lee, told Free Malaysia Today (FMT) that her Vios was declared beyond repairable and a total loss by both the insurance company and panel repair shop following a serious accident in June 2019. She received RM 45,000 from her insurance provider and moved on from the accident. But the incident came back
Last week a video of a white car losing control and crashing into a barrier at a highway exit went viral. News then quickly spread that the cause of the crash was due to sabotage but the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) has since clarified that the accident was not caused by malice. According to the Subang Jaya district police chief, Asst Comm Risikin Satiman, the accident captured in the video is not a recent event but one that happened on July 17. Risikin clarified that the driver was attempting
We’ve seen plenty of accident videos, some can be horrifying while others would tickle our funny bone. One such video features a bunch of makciks (aunties) reacting to an accident between a Perodua Kelisa and Proton Wira has caught the amusement of the internet. Warning: Turn down the volume before playing the video. While gossiping away about their social lives, the aunties encountered a Perodua Kelisa who tried to cut through 3 lanes to make the turn rather than go straight. Ultimately, the Ke
A pothole on Jalan Tengah heading towards Mid Valley has caused the unfortunate death of a motorcyclist on Sunday around 7.30 am. Preliminary investigations by the Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) showed that the motorcyclist was riding over a pothole when he was thrown off his motorcycle. JSPT chief Asst Comm Zulkefly Yahya added that the rider, identified as 75-year-old Ho Yan Yee, died at the scene of the accident. Since the accident yesterday morning, the
Another horrifying accident has been reported at the same location just one day after reports of a fatal accident between a Toyota Hiace and Perodua Bezza. A Perodua Myvi caught fire after it collided with a Proton X70 along Jalan Saujana Impian yesterday at around 8 am. Selangor Fire and Rescue director (JBPM) director Norazam Khamis told Harian Metro that their department received a call about a burning vehicle at around 8.30 am yesterday. Five officers and one fire truck from the Kajang Fire

This is not the first time we’re seeing the 2019 MG HS in the metal. But here are live photos of the C-segment SUV displayed at the 2020 Bangkok International Motor Show alongside the MG ZS and MG Extender. The MG HS was launched in Thailand last year in September. The SUV replaced the MG GS and has since been making itself known as a worthy contender against rivals like the Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5. Like the CR-V, the HS is also powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine. The turbo engi
If the Kia Carnival crashing right out of the dealer collection bay is painful then you really need to brace yourself from this. This brand-new Lamborghini crashed so badly 20 minutes after the owner collected the car from the showroom that it was completely written off. The West Yorkshire Police in the UK uploaded a series of photos showcasing the Lamborghini whose rear-end was completely obliterated. There’s no question that the Lamborghini has been written off for good, and supercars being wr
Last week, we shared a quick front-end spyshot of the 2021 Nissan Navara, and this week we bring you clearer pictures of the upcoming pickup truck. In these set of photos by an Instagram source, we can see that the new Navara wears Nissan's 'V-motion' family face very well, with its large chrome grille and revised front fascia. The back also looks a touch more upmarket and modern, courtesy of a cleaner rear bumper and LED tail lamps. Still no word on powertrain, but changes shouldn't be too much

Known as the Standard Model and Legender Model
Residents in Subang were treated to a spectacle of very thick black smoke rising into the sky over the weekend. The cause of the black smoke was an overturned tanker that burst into flames along the Kesas Expressway. The oil tanker was transporting about 20,000-litres of diesel and on its way to Shah Alam. 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
Social media users were amused by a viral video of a Perodua Myvi stuck in a very unusual circumstance. According to the video, the Myvi had flown over a huge storm drain and landed in the middle of a park! The unusual accident happened in Iskandar Puteri, Johor and the video has since drawn plenty of jokes about the ‘King of the Road’ and about who needs a flying car when we already have the Myvi. According to a Facebook post by the Johor Fire and Rescue Department, they were alerted of the acc
Well, this is rather interesting. Earlier today, Hyundai dropped several teasers of the upcoming Hyundai Staria – essentially their upcoming sliding door MPV. The particular unit teased by Hyundai is a “Premium” variant, evident from its large alloy wheels, luxurious captain seats, ambient lighting, and large infotainment display. Now, Korean publications have begun publishing photos of what appears to be a lower-spec Staria, evident from its steel wheels and unpainted side mirrors. That said, t
Want that dream car of yours but can’t afford to buy new? The used car market is one solution. If you are shopping for a used car, here are the list of things that you should look out for. 1. Check paintwork, body panels, engine bay, and underneath of the car First impression matters. The outlook of the car is what makes you attracted to it in the first place, so naturally, this will be the first thing you should look at. Always inspect the car in daylight, because the sun's reflection can tell
On November 1st, news of a high-speed car chase resulting in the death of a young constable in Johor went viral. The suspects who got away at that time have now been charged with multiple offences with the heaviest penalty being 8 years in jail and a RM 30,000 fine. According to previous reports, the police officers first gave chase when they came across the Perodua Myvi that was driving around suspiciously. During the chase, the Proton Waja patrol vehicle clipped the Myvi and spun before landin
I remember the first time I tried Android Auto – it was back in 2016 with the debut of the all-new tenth-generation Honda Civic. I plugged my phone via USB into the Civic, went through a few confirmation screens on my phone and started Android Auto itself. Android Auto, as how Google envisioned it, is their answer to bridging smartphones and in-car infotainment, allowing drivers to enjoy a tailored Google experience while driving. In case you’re wondering, Android Auto is strictly limited to And
Though launched in 2019, GoCar’s subscription programme is relatively low-key next to the brand’s on-demand car-sharing service. But one year later, GoCar has not only revamped their entire subscription programme but expanded it and rebranded it as GoCar Subs. GoCar Subs now offers an extended fleet of vehicle options from sedans, SUVs, MPVs and even a pick-up truck. The fleet consists of cars made up of various brands including Perodua, Proton, Nissan, Toyota, Honda and even continental cars li

After months of delay due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Formula 1 season is set to return this weekend in Austria. While fans can’t wait to see the likes of Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, and Max Verstappen returning to the track, there is one important car that helps to keep things under control when there’s an accident on the track or when the weather is bad, and that's the safety car. Mercedes-AMG has been the official safety car manufacturer for nearly 25 years beginning with
A 35-year-old insurance agent has been arrested on suspicion of conspiring with vehicle owners in multiple insurance scams. The suspect is linked to 3 cases involving 8 vehicles burnt to the ground worth RM 190,000. According to the Head of the Crime Investigations unit, Senior Assistant Commissioner Nik Ros Azhan Nik Ab Hamid, the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) believe that the cars were intentionally set on fire after they were doused in kerosene. The first case was reported on 9 June 2020 invo
The Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) has urged the government to ban the sale of car accessories that could pose a fatal risk, especially in the event of a crash. According to Berita Harian, one such item is the dummy buckle, which was originally meant for plus-sized individuals, but has since been misused by people who refuses to buckle up while driving. By inserting the dummy buckle into the seat belt buckle, these drives can avoid the annoying chimes a modern car emits when
Hyundai has unveiled even more photos of the possible Starex replacement just a week after its teaser and it appears that the space-age look isn’t the only stand-out design for the Hyundai Staria. Also read: Hyundai Staria teased, is this the Starex replacement that's coming to Malaysia? The Korean carmaker says that the Staria provides a preview of space innovation and the overall look is based on an inside-out approach.

The 2020 Toyota Corolla Cross is officially unveiled in Thailand and we have some photos courtesy of our friends at Autofun. Let's take a closer look at the newest Toyota crossover. Straight away, we would definitely call this Corolla Cross a looker. We initially thought it might look like a jacked-up Corolla hatchback with plastic cladding but this is better. There is black plastic cladding that surrounds the bottom and the wheel arches. The top of the line 1.8-litre Hybrid Premium Safety featu
Proton has launched the Proton Certified Pre-Owned (PCPO) website. It allows customers to browse through current stocks available at selected dealers nationwide as well as quickly trade-in their existing car for great deals on a new Proton model.

We’ve heard of the occasional cockroach or even a cat getting stuck in the engine of a car. We’ve previously been shocked when a snake was seen slithering out of an A/C vent, but never have we heard a lizard the size of an alligator trapped within the car engine bay! This Toyota Vios owner had the shock of his life when he opened his car bonnet and discovered a flipped over lizard that looks like a Komodo dragon inside. From what we can see in the photos, it looks like the Toyota Vios owner had
It’s 2020 and while we still haven’t seen any flying cars whizzing around, it’s fair to say that the tech we’re getting in today’s cars has improved tremendously. Want proof? Here's a clip from an episode of Top Gear from 2005 featuring an orangutan and an S-Class. Fast forward fifteen years later and a lot of the tech seen in a large German luxury car that cost nearly a million ringgit at the time are seen in regular cars today like the Toyota Vios and even the humble Perodua Myvi. We are livin

(Picture credit: Foxnews) Fox News reported driver in Argentina parked his Peugeot 208 at a COTO supermarket in Temperley, Argentina.
