The latest Mazda 3 is a very good-looking hatchback. There is a sedan version, but the hatchback just looks so much better. According to my colleague, the allure of the Mazda 3 isn’t just skin-deep. I reckon he quite liked it. Mazdas have been known as fun to drive, but I'm more curious about what lies underneath . Now, Mazda loves to spout its “Jinba Ittai” driving philosophy and “Kodo” design philosophy, but if we’re talking about the core of a car, it has to be the powertrain. And in this sen
The price for the Volkswagen Passat R-Line in Malaysia has been announced. It starts at RM203k. In the technical presentation after the launch, we had the chance to learn more about the car – engine, DCC, adaptive headlights, and digital cluster. Mechanically, the most interesting thing about the Passat is the Budack cycle that the EA888 gen.3b engine, which is also used in the VW Arteon. You’ve probably heard of the Otto cycle, Atkinson cycle, and Miller cycle. The otto cycle is most commonly u

Mazda 3 yang terbaru sememangnya hatchback yang sangat kacak. Ada juga versi sedan, tetapi hatchback tampak lebih cantik. Daya tarikan Mazda 3 bukan sahaja dari luarannya, tapi lebih lagi. Mazda dikenali sebagai kereta yang seronok dipandu. Oleh itu, kami lebih berminat untuk tahu apa yang ada di bawah butnya. Mazda gemar menggunakan falsafah pemanduannya iaitu “Jinba Ittai” dan falsafah rekaannya, “Kodo”. Tapi, jika kita bincangkan tentang teras kereta ini, ia pastilah tren kuasanya. Ini meruju
Malaysia is known for having one of the world’s highest taxes on cars. Sales of new cars and spare parts for motor vehicles are the single largest contributor in import and excise duties collection, eclipsing tobacco and alcohol products. How much taxes do car sales contribute to the Malaysian government?

They say “honesty is the best policy” and it couldn’t be truer when it comes to this incident in Singapore where a truck driver was rewarded for owing up to side-swiping another person’s car. Not only was he rewarded with plane tickets to bring his family over, but many other chain brands also joined in with dishing out rewards. The note says: Driver Wang Yao Wen, I've accidentally hit your car. I'm so sorry, this is my contact number According to AsiaOne, the truck driver is believed to be of C

New car collections are very special moments, especially for a first-time car buyer. This is why car dealerships always organise a special collection ceremony that offered chances to snap plenty of photos to commemorate the moment. But this new car collection in India went so wrong that airbags were deployed.

Fresh from the hype of the newest-generation of Nissan’s Z car, the Nissan Z Proto, some of us in the media were invited for a virtual roundtable discussion with Nissan’s Chief Designer, Alfonso Albaisa.

The West Yorkshire Police in the UK uploaded a series of photos showcasing the Lamborghini whose rear-end was completely obliterated. There’s no question that the Lamborghini has been written off for good, and supercars being wr
At a recent virtual meeting with Dr. Håkan Sandquist, director of powertrain strategy at the Geely-Volvo Car jointly owned powertrain specialist CEVT AB, we posed a question to the person who lead the development of the Proton X50’s three-cylinder 1.5 TGDi and 1.5 MPI, will Geely go smaller than 3-cylinders? Beyond the 1.5-litre 3-cylinder, Geely also has a 1.0-litre three-cylinder for the Chinese and European market. So how small is too small? The simple answer is that 2-cylinder engines are un

When you buy a brand-new car, you have to go through a run-in (or break-in) period for the first 1,000 km. Unfortunately, you can’t just gun it right after taking delivery from the showroom. As such with our new Perodua Ativa, the first thing in order is to run it in. How to run in the car? Drive the car carefully without exceeding a certain rpm and speed limit. In every car’s owner manual, the instructions for the run-in period are explicitly stated. And for the case of our Perodua Ativa, the r
