Malaysia is known for having one of the world’s highest taxes on cars.

A knight in shining armor is a man who has never had his metal truly tested. Likewise, a pristine looking car is a car that hasn’t been driven much. While the former may be an inspirational phrase, the latter is a sign of a good used car. When shopping for a used car, it is normal to see dings, scratches, or the occasional putty.

But why does MINI name their cars a 3-Door or a 5-Door when there are only either 2 doors and 4 doors for ingress and egress on the cars? Put simply, any door like structure which includes window on a car large enough for an adult to climb in and out of is considered a “door”.
