While the internet is still raining praises on the Royal Malaysian Police’s (PDRM) swift arrests of both suspects in the Proton Waja drama that happened last week, others were impressed by the Perodua Myvi’s composure in the video when the Waja was doing its best to ram it aside. But, the question remains, what of the Myvi’s repairs? Can the owner claim insurance? From what we can see in the viral video, the Myvi sustained the most damage when the Waja was desperately trying to squeeze between t
First car is like your first love; you’ll get excited about it, make mistakes along the way, discover your likes and dislikes, but you’ll always remember it and depending on the situation, you’ll realise that money seems to be flowing out rather quickly. Which is why it is important to know what you’re getting into when you buy your first car, because it's not as simple as merely paying the monthly installments and refueling the car. Let’s start with maintenance and take the top selling brands i
Malaysia Automotive Association (MAA) has confirmed that the earlier announced plan by the (previous) government to revise existing Open Market Value (OMV) calculations for new cars, which could raise new car prices by up to 20 percent, has been temporarily suspended until 31-December 2022. Car buyers, dealers and manufacturers can now take a breather, as there won’t be any increase in new car prices for 2021, apart from re-instatement of 10 percent Sales tax starting 1-Jan 2021, which has alway

Following our earlier report that prices of new cars in Malaysia, especially locally assembled ones, will go up in prices after Chinese New Year, we now have additional information confirming that prices of imported cars will also increase, also due to changes in taxation. Come June 2020, prices of imported (CBU) vehicles will also see an increase, although the quantum of increase will be a lot lesser than those of locally-assembled models, which are projected to go up by around 15 to 25 percent

Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) dan Suruhanjaya Persaingan Malaysia (MyCC) digesa melakukan pemantauan terhadap harga insurans yang dikenakan kepada pengguna kenderaan di Malaysia. Ahli Parlimen Pekan, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak berkata, ini kerana beliau mendapati ada pengguna yang mendakwa mereka terpaksa membayar insurans kenderaan pada harga yang tidak selari dengan pelaksanaan liberalisasi tarif insurans motor negara. Menurutnya, adalah tidak adil sekiranya pengguna perlu membayar premium insura
Yesterday, news of a Perodua Myvi plunging into a 3 metre deep sinkhole in Jalan Maharajalela in Kuala Lumpur broke the Internet. It didn’t take long before Dr. Strange-inspired memes flooded social media. The memes were funny, but the driver of the Perodua Myvi could have been seriously injured by the sinkhole. Fortunately she was unscathed but surely it must have been a traumatic experience. We now learned that although there was absolutely nothing that the driver could have done to avoid the
The Proton Saga is the company’s entry-level sedan and competes against the Perodua Bezza in the A-segment sedan market. Let’s take a closer look and see how much are the maintenance and insurance costs of the Proton Saga over a 5-year period. The Proton Saga requires a mandatory oil change at the 1,000 km mark, which costs RM 121.09. It costs RM 632.89 to service the automatic variant of the Saga at the 60,000-km/36-month mark, due to it being a major service, requiring the spark plugs, air fil
We’re pretty sure that an insurance company would have heard all kinds of excuses to justify their insurance claims. But we’re also sure that agents will never get over the shock of some of the excuses they come across. For this instance, a plane crashing into a Lexus IS on a highway. We can only imagine how the conversation on the phone would have gone “A what hit you? On the highway? You’re not just saying this to get a claim, are you?” The incident happened in Livermore, California, and thank
The Proton Iriz is Proton’s B-segment hatchback that goes head-to-head against the Perodua Myvi. In this article, we will take a closer look and see how much owners need to pay in terms of maintenance and insurance cost for the Proton Iriz over a 5-year period. Like other Campro-powered Proton models, the Iriz requires a mandatory oil change at the 1,000-km mark, which costs RM 121.09. Subsequently, the Iriz requires an oil change at every 10,000-km/6-month interval. The most expensive service i
In 2016, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) began the move to liberalise motor insurance premiums. Now the General Insurance Association of Malaysia (PIAM) has released a statement to clarify that although the process has already begun, pricing continues to be set by BNM. “PIAM hopes the above clarifies to the motoring public and other stakeholders that while the process initiated for the gradual removal of requirements under the motor tariff has begun, pricing continues to be regulated by the industry
The Proton Persona is Proton’s B-segment sedan that is based on the Iriz hatchback. The model does have any direct rivals in the B-segment national car market. Here, we will take a closer look and see how much does it cost to maintain and insure the Persona over a 5-year period. Like its Campro-powered siblings, the Proton Persona requires an oil change at the 1,000-km mark, which costs RM 121.09. After the 1,000-km service, the Persona requires a service at every 10,000-km/6-month interval. For
Both the Perodua Bezza and Proton Saga are Malaysia’s cheapest sedans, but which one is cheaper to maintain? If you were to make a simple comparison based Proton's quoted prices for its maintenance plan, the Saga's total maintenance cost over a 5-year/100,000 km period is cheaper than the Bezza by about RM 140. The Perodua Bezza will cost RM 3,149 to maintain while the Proton Saga costs a slightly cheaper RM 3,008. That's a neglibible difference over a five-year/100,000 km period. However, keep
With at least five models confirmed to be launched in October, and another five more that are also very likely to join the growing list, October is definitely the busiest month of this year. That’s a nice problem to have considering the slump that the industry is in. Cumulative new vehicle sales in Malaysia for the first half of 2020 was down by over 40 percent compared to the same six-month period last year. The all-new 2020 Honda City, Nissan Almera, Proton X50, Hyundai Kona and Mitsubishi Xpa
Volvo Car Malaysia has revised its warranty programme to a factory five-years/unlimited mileage for all privately owned Volvo cars registered from 1 January 2021 onwards. This comes after the announcement of the hybrid battery warranty extension. In previous years, Volvo car owners were entitled to the standard three-year/100,000km factory warranty with a combined two-years/20,000km Extended Warranty Programme (EWP) provided by an external insurance partner. Now with the introduction of the exte
We’ve seen the launch of the Porsche Taycan and the MINI Cooper SE in Malaysia this year. They were surprisingly priced lower than our expectations. The MINI Cooper SE has a price tag of RM 218,380 and the Taycan 4S starts at RM 725,000. We did expect the MINI to be priced lower than the BMW i3s, but the Taycan is cheaper in Malaysia than it is in Thailand. The “low” price of these cars could be a result of the 10% excise tax on all electric cars as opposed to 60% to 105% for ICE cars. When we t
Perodua Bezza gallery The Perodua Bezza is the company’s first-ever sedan and it competes against the Proton Saga. Let’s take a look and see how much owners are expected to pay in terms of maintenance and insurance cost for the Perodua Bezza over a 5-year period. The first service for the Perodua Bezza 1.3 costs RM 177.70, performed at the 10,000 km mark. Unlike automatic variants of the Proton Saga that requires its Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) to be replaced at every 60,000-km interval,
Minggu lepas, kami telah laporkan berita tentang sebuah Proton Waja yang enggan membuka pintu kereta dan menyerah diri setelah ditahan oleh polis. Pemandu Waja itu sebaliknya menekan minyak dan merempuh lori di hadapannya dan menggesel sebuah Perodua Myvi yang enggan berganjak walau disodok berkali-kali. Setelah rakaman kejadian itu tular, pemandu Myvi itu menerima banyak pujian dari netizen atas keberaniannya membantu menghalang penjenayah yang cuba melarikan diri. Apabila kita berada dalam sit
The third-generation Perodua Myvi was introduced back in 2017. The model competes against the Proton Iriz in the B-segment hatchback market. Let’s take a closer look and see how much owners of the Perodua Myvi are expected to pay in terms of maintenance and insurance cost over a 5-year/100,000 km period. Owners of the Perodua Myvi (both the 1.3 and 1.5 variants) need to fork out RM 177,70 for the first service, performed at the 10,000 km mark. Similar to other Perodua models, the automatic varia
The Toyota Vios is a B-segment sedan that competes against the Honda City, Mazda 2 Sedan and Volkswagen Vento in the same segment. It also shares its platform and powertrain with the Toyota Yaris. In this article, we’ll take a look at how much does it cost to maintain and insure the Toyota Vios over a 5-year period. For the first two services (1,000 km and 5,000-km), UMW Toyota Motor offers free labour charges, though owners are still required to fork out for the lubricants and parts. Subsequent
Earlier, we've compared the maintenance costs between two of Malaysia’s cheapest sedans, the Proton Saga and Perodua Bezza. Perodua Bezza gallery Now, let’s throw periodic maintenance, road tax, and insurance into the mix and see which entry-level sedan is cheaper to run and maintain. Proton Saga gallery From the table compiled, it is clear that over a period of 5 years, the Proton Saga is RM 910.64 cheaper than the Perodua Bezza, but that is not the full story.

The German government has expressed concerns that a revision in the pricing structure of locally-assembled cars will affect not just the investments made by German car companies operating here in Malaysia, but also Malaysia’s competitiveness against its neighbours. Speaking at an interview with BFM radio yesterday, the German Ambassador to Malaysia His Excellency Nikolaus Graf Lambsdorff told BFM: “German car companies have invested in Malaysia to assemble cars here in view of the Malaysian mark
