The D-segment market in Malaysia is typically represented by the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, owing to their well-established reliability. But for those who wants to stand out, the Mazda 6 could be a far better option. A quick recap on the GJ-generation Mazda 6 The GJ-generation Mazda 6 was launched in Malaysia back in 2013. Although the model is in its eighth year of being on sale, the Mazda 6 has received numerous updates – one as recent as a few days ago. Also Read: 2021 Mazda 6 updated in

The Mazda 6 is currently the oldest model in its class. The dominating Toyota Camry and Honda Accord duo have since been replaced by new generation models while the Volkswagen Passat was recently updated, leaving the imported Mazda 6 as the oldest. Despite its age, you’ll be surprised to know that the Mazda 6 is still the one to have, especially if you are the sort who understands the difference between driving a car and being part of a car. Yes, the Toyota Camry is still the benchmark. It still

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

Specifications have been improved (upgraded infotainment and GVC Plus) but prices have also gone up by quite a bit, no doubt due to the weakening Ringgit (the 6 is imported from Japan).

Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia has just announced a new Passat variant, the Volkswagen Passat R-Line. It sits on top of the Elegance variant, with an estimated price of RM 200,000 to RM 210,000.

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.

An scoop from a Japanese publication has reported the next-gen line-up of Mazda’s most popular cars. The most interesting of the bunch would be the Mazda 6, leading the Mazda CX-5, Mazda 2 (speculated September 2021), and Mazda CX-3 (expected June 2022). The highlight of the “upcoming” Mazda 6 would be the inline-6 SkyActiv-X engine that does 300 PS and 343 Nm. A straight-6 could only mean one really big thing, and that’s the rear-wheel-drive layout.

Last week, this column spoke about why the next generation rear-wheel Mazda sedan with a straight-six engine (possibly next generation Mazda 6) is something that enthusiasts should root for, and why Mazda has been doing a better job at preserving the joy of driving than BMW, which is (understandably) prioritizing infotainment and digitization over driver engagement. We applaud Mazda for their audacity but also concluded that Mazda will have to lose more money in their quest to build better cars

In terms of dimensions, the Mazda CX-8 is 4,900 mm long, 175 mm shorter than the CX-9. It is also 129 mm narrower and 17 mm lower than the CX-9.

For months Mazda enthusiasts have been holding their breath in eager anticipation for the Mazda 3 2.5 Turbo. Mazda’s sexiest hatch with its biggest engine sounds enticing by itself. But enthusiasts were more hopeful that it would feature the Mazdaspeed or MPS designation. Alas, that wasn't to be when the 3 2.5 Turbo made its debut in North America.
