Perodua Kenari – Uniquely bad or brilliantly practical?

This year not only marked the 20th anniversary of the Proton Waja, but also one of the weirdest Perodua models sold. Before the overwhelming success of the Myvi, Perodua was always overshadowed by Proton. Granted, Perodua and Proton weren’t directly competing then. Perodua focused itself on basic city runabouts with smaller engines and this didn’t affect sales of Proton. Perodua had a very simple 3-car line-up too. The Kancil was meant for beginner drivers, the Rusa was for simple commercial use

Perodua Kenari – Teruk dan pelik, atau ‘best’ dan praktikal?

Tahun ini, kita bukan sahaja memasuki tahun ke-20 bagi Proton Waja, tetapi ia juga ulangtahun bagi salah satu model Perodua yang paling ‘aneh’ pernah dijual. Sebelum kehebatan Myvi terkenal seantero Malaysia, Perodua seringkali dibayangi oleh Proton. Hakikatnya, Perodua dan Proton tidak bersaing secara langsung ketika itu. Matlamat Perodua berfokus pada pemanduan biasa di bandar dengan enjin lebih kecil, dan ini tidak mengganggu jualan Proton. Pada masa yang sama, Perodua mempunyai barisan 3 ker

Perodua Kelisa – The modern successor to the Mini

Clarkson is an ape. That’s quite a way to start off a story about the Perodua Kelisa. We all know how he made fun of the little Malaysian car and while it was all for entertainment, Malaysians tend to go a bit on the defense when someone picks a fight with our culture. The Perodua Kelisa wasn’t supposed to be a remarkable car. It was launched in 2001 and while it was originally planned to be the replacement to the Kancil, it was instead sold alongside it for six years before both cars were repla

Perodua Kelisa: MINI kegemaran Malaysia!

Zaman sekarang ni, kereta dibina semakin besar. Sebab itulah trend kereta sekarang ini ke arah SUV. Besar dan luas. Namun tahukah anda, SUV lebih senang terbalik berbanding sedan? Oleh itu, fikir dahulu masak-masak sebelum melompat mengikut trend masa kini. Namun, lain pula ceritanya dengan zaman dahulu. Di bumi bertuah Malaysia ini, kita telah diberkati dengan kereta bersaiz kecil, Perodua Kancil dan Perodua Kelisa. Kedua-duanya memang mudah dipandu tetapi Perodua Kelisa menganjak paradigma kit

2020 Honda Civic: What makes the interior class-leading?

The interior of the 2020 Honda Civic as Honda tells us is designed with the 'man maximum, machine minimum' philosophy in mind. Which is just another way to say they squeezed out every bit of space possible, really. Is that really the case though? Let's take a closer look at the Civic's interior and pit some notable changes against its older one, just so you have an idea on what's new and see if it really does embody Honda's philosophy.

Once unbeatable, Proton lost its No.1 rank not because of Perodua, but the PC. How?

In the early 2000s, the hardworking people at Perodua were scratching their heads trying to understand why sales of their oldest model, the Perodua Kancil was increasing. Isn’t that a good thing you ask? Well normally, you would expect demand for an ageing model to decline over time. However, between 1995 and 2002, sales of the Perodua Kancil grew by 56 percent, from 39,856 units to 62,279 units, outpacing the industry’s overall growth by 6 percent.
