So you're not one who favours buying a new car, but prefers scouring the used car markets instead. There is some logic to this thinking. Why buy a brand new Perodua Myvi when you can get a used VW Jetta for around the same money, or less? To build a case for this, let's take a look at the VW Jetta, as prices of these cars have dropped to a very attractive price point. What is the catch? Well, you, the shopper will need to do your homework, that's the catch. To help you with your research, we hav

比起买一辆新车，你或许更喜欢选购一辆二手车。这种想法是符合逻辑的，如果你能用一样（甚至更低）的价钱买一辆二手VW Jetta，那么为什么要去买一辆新的Perodua Myvi呢？ 为了印证这个例子，让我们来仔细看看VW Jetta，因为这款车的价格已经下降了许多，十分有吸引力。那么，这其中有没有什么风险呢？风险在于，你，作为一个消费者，需要提前先做好功课。 为了帮助你做好功课，我们咨询了几位VW Jetta的车主，以及VAGTechnik的几位朋友。所以，下面的内容，都是基于实际使用的场景，接下来就让我们开始吧。 常见问题：引擎 Jetta最初搭载的是一具1.4升的TSI双增压引擎，能够爆发出160 PS的马力和240 Nm的扭力。这套动力系统有一个常见的问题就是活塞碎裂，所以如果你想入手一辆搭载该具引擎的Jetta，那么最好先做一个缸压测试。按照VAGTechnik的说法，根据损坏程度的不同，这具引擎的一次大修价格在RM 5,000到8,000左右。 虽然问题不一定会一起出现，但我们也为大家列出了其它引擎的常见问题： VW Jetta 引擎相关常见问题 部件 症状 价格（RM） 点火

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

It has been about two weeks of ownership with our Perodua Ativa. How have things been? Well, the rattling sound we mentioned previously had gotten really annoying. Every time we drove over abrupt irregularities on the right side, the sound became more and more apparent. We needed to take the Ativa to Sepang on Tuesday to check out some Malaysian-made electric car, so we held off going to the service centre until Wednesday. About two weeks of driving with that sound, we finally checked in at the

Proton has been at the receiving end of many angry complaints from customers with regards to its after-sales. Proton dealers are experiencing shortage of not just regular wear and tear replacement parts, but also bigger body and paint parts for collision repairs.

In the recent years, we have welcomed some new three-cylinder engine cars to the world – the Nissan Almera 1.0 turbo, Honda City 1.0 turbo (Thailand), Proton X50, and more excitingly, the Toyota GR Yaris. Even Christian von Koenigsegg has channelled his genius into developing a 600 HP three-cylinder engine. With these developments however, some of us still remain very sceptical of them.

First things first. There is no such thing as a Proton S50. The name exists not on any Proton car but merely on a list of nameplates trademarked by Proton, along with the Proton V70 and Proton C50. Still, Malaysians have a very high level of interest in Proton and for whatever reason, S50 is fast becoming a trending topic. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

Ads are annoying and even some people in ad agencies can attest that (I used to work in one, so I know the feeling is mutual). However, there are still some ads that make you intrigued and wanting to know more. For automakers, probably one that stood out was Volkswagen. The history of Volkswagen’s iconic ads began in the 1950s and 1960s when the German car company hired Doyle Dane Bernbach (DDB) to be their ad agency.

这是一个无法避免的问题 —— 除非你的车是一台罕见的车型，否则它就一定会贬值。这就是为什么对很多消费者来说，保值率是和保养费用一样关键的因素。 虽然关于保值率的不少流言都已经基本破灭了，但仍然有一种普遍的看法，即一些品牌不受消费者欢迎，因为他们的保值率很低。 本文将带大家了解几款著名的C级轿车，包括Honda Civic、上一代Toyota Corolla Altis、Mazda 3、Volkswagen Jetta、Kia Cerato等。这些车的保值率如何? 请继续往下看吧！ Honda Civic —— 以5年70%的保值率名列前茅 Honda Civic可能已经算是一款老旧的轿车车型了。事实上，在我国的同级别车型中，它是目前在售的最老的车型，而其它的竞争对手都已经换代或停产了。 尽管涡轮增压的1.5 TC-P可能是最值得入手的车型，但令人惊讶的是，自然进气的1.8 S车型其实拥有更好的保值率。根据我们的调查，2016 Civic 1.8 S的保值率在73%左右，而同年的Civic 1.5 TC-P的保值率在67%左右。 所以，如果你追求更高的保值率，那么或许你可以考虑1.8升的
