Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX Wagon - the first and last of its kind?

Picture this: it’s 2005. Pre-pandemic days, and you’re right in between hundreds of people watching cars roll in a mall’s parking space. It’s car show weekend, and with ears honed through many rev battles you could probably tell what’s heading just by exhaust noise. It's a Lancer Evo...or is it? “Yeah, that’s an Evo”, you confidently tell your mate as the familiar low-rev burble is accompanied by a familiar face. Sharp headlights, ‘move over’ grin, three diamonds on the grille - yup, that’s the

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX Wagon - yang pertama dan yang terakhir?

Ia adalah pertunjukan kereta hujung minggu, dan dengan telinga yang digerakkan oleh banyak pertempuran, anda mungkin dapat mengetahui apa yang akan tiba hanya dengan bunyi ekzosnya. Ia adalah Lancer Evo...atau adakah ia benar? "Yeah, itu ialah Evo", anda dengan yakin memberitahu pasangan anda kerana deruman putaran re

Suzuki Swace merupakan kembar Corolla Wagon yang cukup cun!

Suzuki sekali lagi merasmikan model yang dihasilkan oleh perkongsian antara jenama. Kali ini, mereka melancarkan Suzuki Swace. Nama “Swace” dipercayai bermaksud ruang (space). Mengikut tradisi Suzuki yang lebih cenderung kepada nama yang cukup ikonik seperti “Swift”, mereka menggabungkan kedua-dua falsafah ini dan menjadikannya sebagai “Swace”. Secara dasar, ia merupakan sebuah Toyota Corolla Touring Sports wagon dengan lambang Suzuki. Namun begitu, ia hanya didatangkan khas untuk pasaran Eropah

The first Mitsubishi Pajero - from Paris Dakar Rally champ to progenitor of family SUVs

There was a time when SUVs weren’t a big thing and were more of a utilitarian 4x4 than a trending crossover. None matches the bulletproof and macho 4x4 quite like the Mitsubishi Pajero, Isuzu Trooper, and the Toyota Land Cruiser. Out of those three, only the Land Cruiser managed to survive today with the Trooper being trooped out many years ago and the Pajero being discontinued in 2020. We’ve done a sort of eulogy for the Pajero but today, we’re celebrating the very first Pajero and how it came

Mazda cars were never known to be spacious and the same is true for the 2019 Mazda CX-5 Turbo. Let’s evaluate its interior space and practicality through our WapCar Ratings. The Mazda CX-5 is a 5-seater C-segment SUV in the same category as the Honda CR-V, Proton X70 and Subaru Forester.

Malaysians are familiar with Proton’s ties with Mitsubishi Motors, its former technical partner in the ‘80s and ‘90s. We all know that the first Proton Saga was based on the Mitsubishi Lancer Fiore.

Review: Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0 4WD; Long in the tooth but still worthy of attention

The Mitsubishi Outlander has been on sale in Malaysia since 2017 and calling it a little long in the tooth is an understatement. The model itself has been in its third generation since 2013 and looking at the spec sheet, we have to say that the 7-seater C-segment SUV is in serious need of an overhaul. But spec sheet aside, is the Outlander still worthy of your consideration? When you say 7-seater C-segment SUV, the Outlander rarely comes to mind over competitors like the Nissan X-Trail and the K
