When obtaining a Malaysian driver’s license, the only type of parking you are tested for is parallel parking. Other parking methods like perpendicular parking, double parking, and angle parking are not tested. Mainly because parallel parking requires a little bit more skill and concentration. The most common type of parking today is perpendicular parking, since it offers the most efficient use of space. Perpendicuar parking just means that the car is parked perpendicularly (90°) to a road/curb/w

The Perodua Myvi is Malaysia’s most popular car but in Indonesia, the Myvi does not enjoy the same popularity. However, the car might have scored a new generation of fans. The King, which is badged as the Daihatsu Sirion in the archipelago, was awarded the best city car award in the Marketeers Youth Choice Brands of the Year 2020. This was a result of a survey conducted by Marketeers with 1,300 Generation Z respondents all over Indonesia within the age of 18 to 25 years old. The majority of the

In 2020, Perodua Myvi was updated with a brand-new colour, Electric Blue, and offered A.S.A 2.0. That doesn’t seem to be enough for Perodua as we have received a scoop that it might be introducing a new hue to the King in the coming months. Based on info that was sent to the WapCar team, the Perodua Myvi will receive a new shade of red called Red Mica. The red paint that is currently offered on the Myvi is Lava Red. Whether will the new Mica Red replace Lava Red is not known yet. Perodua offers

Let’s paint a scenario, you reverse your spanking new car into a parking lot, hopped out of your car and a good Samaritan came up to inform you that you’re missing a reverse light and strongly advice you to have it changed for safety reasons. FYI, there’s nothing wrong with your car. Because many cars are now equipped with 1 reverse light while the slot for the other light has been replaced with a rear fog lamp. Contrary to popular arguments online (just Google it, it’s quite a heated debate), c

The Proton Iriz was conceived back in 2014 as Proton’s effort to counter the ever-popular Perodua Myvi. Back then, the Iriz offered considerably more safety equipment than the Perodua Myvi, but response from the market remained lukewarm at best. Proton updated the Iriz a couple of times, with the latest update being introduced earlier this year. Five variants are available in total, up from the four variants from the 2017 update.

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

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

First, there is the McLaren 765LT and now this, the 2021 Ferrari SF90 Stradale which is just unveiled at the newly renovated Naza Italia Ferrari showroom in Petaling Jaya.

On the 17th of February, photos of a brand-new Mazda CX-5 turned turtle in front of a car wash shop surfaced on social media causing Malaysians to wonder: how did a car wash go so wrong? According to Sin Chew Daily, the car wash worker had mistakenly put the CX-5 in reverse and the car had shot out of the shop, hitting 2 cars before coming to a halt. But video footage from a CCTV published on another Facebook page shows otherwise. The CX-5 was seen shooting out of the shop, head first, and crash

Although a detailed report isn’t released yet, ASEAN NCAP has awarded the Nissan Magnite a four-star rating. Nissan’s entry-level SUV was quietly launched in Indonesia last month and so far, this is the only market in South East Asia where the Magnite is officially sold so far. With its 4-star rating, that meant the Perodua Myvi is safer according to the safety body. The Indonesian-spec Magnite is imported from India and Nissan has stated that the facility in Oragdam, Tamil Nadu will be the hub

ASA is short for Advanced Safety Assist, and it’s found on the Perodua Myvi and Aruz - but only on the highest 1.5 AV variant. ASA is Perodua’s marketing term for what is generically known as ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System). Never mind about the confusing terminologies, here’s a simple explanation of what ASA does and whether is it worth your money. In short, ASA is a safety feature that steps in when the driver is distracted and doesn’t notice the danger ahead. It could be as simple as

Mat Rempits are getting more modern than years passed. In this most recent video uploaded onto social media, the Mat Motor in the video was actually using a 360-degree camera to record his antics but what he didn’t think he would record is his own arrest as well. The 360-video showed the motorcyclist attempted a Superman pose on his bike. But if had glanced over his shoulder he would have seen the policeman coming up behind him. The video continued on with the police flagging the motorcyclist do

Digelar Myvi S-Edition, ia diinspirasikan oleh Myvi GT yang ditayangkan di 2018 Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show (2018 KLIMS). Walaubagaimanapun, tidak seperti Myvi GT yang dibina berdasarkan Myvi 1.5 AV, kereta Myvi S-Edition pasaran Brunei adalah berdasarkan Myvi 1.3G spe

In a rather surprising move, Perodua unveiled the 2020 Perodua Myvi S-Edition in Brunei, alongside the regular model. Nope, Malaysia isn't the first to receive this model. Called the Myvi S-Edition, it is heavily inspired by the Myvi GT that was shown at the 2018 Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show (2018 KLIMS). However, unlike the Myvi GT that is based on the Myvi 1.5 AV, the Brunei market Myvi S-Edition is based on the entry-level Myvi 1.3G. Let’s take a closer look and compare both the Myvi

(Model | Gallery) The Perodua Alza is Malaysia’s most affordable seven-seater, with a starting price of just slightly over RM 54,000 for the cheapest automatic transmission variant. However, the Alza is also very old, having been on the market since 2009. Apart from making dual airbags, ABS and ISOFIX standard across the range – which is good but it’s still below average when compared to a Myvi – and other upgrades in accessories, the Alza is mechanically unchanged for 10 years already.

Perodua在文莱发布其它车型的同时,出人意料地发布了2020款Perodua Myvi S-Edition。 Myvi S-Edition很大程度上是受到了2018 Kuala Lumpur国际车展(2018 KLIMS)上展出的Myvi GT的影响。 不过,与基于Myvi 1.5 AV打造的Myvi GT不同,在文莱发售的Myvi S-Edition将以入门级的Myvi 1.3G为平台。 让我们仔细地来对比一下Myvi S-Edition和两年前展出的概念车有何不同。 外观——对概念车做了简化以便量产 一眼看上去,Myvi S-Edition的车头设计很大程度上受到了Myvi GT的启发,但同时也做了一些细微的调整。 举例来说,与Myvi GT上用红黑色前格栅不同,Myvi S-Edition的上部进气格栅是网格状的。此外。Myvi S-Edition也丢掉了概念车上的红色装饰。 从侧面看,S-Edition换上了新的14英寸铝合金轮圈、车身贴纸和侧裙。很遗憾,没有饱满的17英寸铝合金轮圈、可调式悬吊和Brembo煞车了。Myvi GT上的微妙曲线也没有出现在Myvi S-Edi

Following the footsteps of the recently-introduced Axia Style, Perodua is said to be working on an SUV-styled Myvi, set for a debut in the coming months. Expected to be called Myvi Style, the forthcoming model could receive the same styling (heh) cues as the Axia Style. As such, the new Myvi Style should be getting SUV-inspired front and rear ends, fender extension pieces, and unique wheels. The interior of the new Myvi Style is also said to get different seat upholstery materials. Under the hoo
