The early days of the car industry was dictated by Europe and America. Germany invented the combustion engine and the automobile, Italy made the best bodies, while USA pioneered mass production and market segmentation. Although Nissan, Toyota, Mitsubishi, and Isuzu – the earliest of Japanese manufacturers - traced their history back to the 1930s, Japan didn’t enter the automotive industry in a big way until the ‘60s. Intervention by the Japanese military government prior to World War 2 had force

Peugeots, unfortunately, are plagued by bad reputation. Low resale value being one of the worst rep it has, but these French babies are actually very comfortable and fun cars to drive. Probably the most popular model from Peugeot in Malaysia is the Peugeot 308, which is now on sale in the used car market for RM 20,000. Should you buy one? For this used car guide, we will focus on the Peugeot 308 T7 generation. The 308 is classified as a C-segment hatchback, but Nasim, the distributor for Peugeot

Nissan's car manufacturing history dates back to 1914, making it one of Japan’s oldest. Between the ‘60s until the ‘90s, Nissan was Japan’s most technologically advanced. When Toyota and Honda entered the car business in 1936 and 1962 respectively, Nissan was No.1. Today, it’s the weakest in Japan. It's a sad turn of events for the company that made the first Japanese car fast enough to beat a Porsche – at the 1966 Japanese Grand Prix, two R380s took the top two spots, ahead of three Porsche 906

Sejarah pembuatan kereta Nissan boleh dikesan balik seawal 1914, membuatkannya salah satu yang tertua di Jepun. Antara era 60-an hingga 90-an, Nissan adalah pembuat kereta Jepun yang paling berteknologi tinggi. Apabila Toyota dan Honda menceburi industri pembuatan kereta pada tahun 1936 dan 1962 masing-masing, Nissan berada di tempat teratas. Hari ini, Nissan adalah yang paling lemah di Jepun.

Peugeot的口碑并不好，特别是其低残值率，更是最糟糕的名声之一。但这些法国小车其实十分舒适，也有着不错的驾驶体验。在我国，销量最多的Peugeot应该就是Peugeot 308了，而现在在二手车市场上，你只需要RM 20,000就能入手。那么，你应该买一辆吗？ 在这次的二手车指南中，我们会重点关注Peugeot 308 T7世代。308的定位是C级掀背车，但当时的Peugeot分销商Nasim也为308提供多种车身型号可选。 最常见的是4门掀背车的版本，共有两种型号，分别为1.6升自然进气VTi和1.6升涡轮增压。同时，308也提供了双门车型，即GT车型和被称为CC的敞篷车型。 常见问题 为了了解Peugeot 308 T7世代车型的常见问题，我们咨询了Klang的Man's Geot Garage。 出现几率最高的问题，就是VTi车型上的4速自排变速箱会过早的出现故障，而这具变速箱是由Porsche生产的。这是由于电磁阀磨损导致的。 更换电磁阀的费用为每个RM 200，但如果变速箱被鉴定为无法继续使用，那么更换一个复新的变速箱至少需要RM 2,800。 而在Turbo车型上，Pe

Mugen is synonymous with Honda, but not quite in the same way Gazoo Racing is with Toyota or STi is with Subaru. This is despite the fact that Mugen has a much longer history – since 1973 - and is the only one who can boast of victories in Formula One (1999, Jordan-Honda). For many people in this part of the world, their first encounter with the Mugen brand is on some tacky stickers on a badly modified Honda, partly because Mugen is independent from Honda, which also means that it doesn't benefi

Stalling engines, nerve-wracking hill starts, and jerky gear shifts are some of the memories you might have of obtaining your driver’s license. If you had taken your driver’s license prior to 2014, you had to do it with a manual transmission car. It most likely didn’t have power steering too. You didn’t have a choice.

When it comes to shopping for a car, terms like reconditioned cars and certified pre-owned (CPO) cars get tossed around a fair bit. On paper, both CPO and reconditioned (recond) cars are very similar – both are cheaper than a new car, allowing the buyer to save some money. But that’s where the similarities end, as they are world’s apart once you look closer. Recond cars – good on paper, but buyers beware While it may seem tempting to save RM 40k to RM 50k on a recond car versus a brand-new car,
