Kes langgar lari memang selalu kita dengar – lepas langgar, si pengecut lari untuk elakkan masalah. Tapi, tak semua orang berperangai sebegitu.

The Malaysia Automotive Association (MAA) feels that the country does not need a third national car as the existing two are enough. MAA president Datuk Aishah Ahmad told The Edge, “From the industry’s standpoint, we already have two national cars — that’s already too many. To have a third national car? I don’t think we need it.” She also did not comment on Perodua’s intention to be involved in the third national car project as MAA does not have details of the plan. Datuk Aishah also said that ev

Trust us when we say Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity are make-or-break features when it comes to buying a new car in Malaysia. But not everyone of us can go after a new car in this economic climate, so we'll show you the next best thing - getting Android Auto to work on the car you already own. I installed a relatively cheap (~RM 300) Android-based touchscreen headunit in my 2003 Toyota Vios, and this guide will help you get Android Auto running on something similar installed in your

FB PenMerahdotcom melaporkan satu insiden yang kami rasa penyewa kereta seluruh Malaysia pasti boleh relate. Dalam pos tersebut, seorang penyewa kereta dilihat sanggup bersusah-payah untuk menjelaskan pada pelanggannya yang kereta sewa semua sudah penuh ditempah. Tapi, pelanggannya seolah-olah tak faham hakikat ini. Oleh itu, bermulalah perbualan yang buat semua orang tergelak dan geleng kepala. Tak faham Bahasa Melayu agaknya, tapi dia cuba juga.

I remember the first time I tried Android Auto – it was back in 2016 with the debut of the all-new tenth-generation Honda Civic.

Android Auto, as how Google envisioned it, is their answer to bridging smartphones and in-car infotainment, allowing drivers to enjoy a tailored Google experience while driving. In case you’re wondering, Android Auto is strictly limited to And

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? The government doesn’t provide a breakdown of its tax collection by industry, but it is safe to estimate that the automotive sector contributes well over RM 10 billion in taxes every year. So i

If you’re driving around Ampang Hilir, we suggest avoiding Jalan U-Thant entirely as we’re predicting a massive traffic jam forming around the area, no thanks to a deep watery sinkhole. The huge sinkhole is located right next to a condominium at 16, Jalan Taman U Thant, Taman U Thant, Kuala Lumpur. Thankfully, the sinkhole did not affect the residents of the condominium though the sinkhole damaged the compound wall and road. A Telekom cable pole and a few trees almost fell into the sinkhole.

Antara terma yang jadi popular sejak Malaysia dilanda pandemik COVID-19 ialah kluster kayangan.

More news that Mazda’s signature rotary engine is making a return. Previously, it was speculated that Mazda’s upcoming SkyActiv-R rotary engine will return only as a small capacity range extender engine, used to charge a series hybrid’s or an electric vehicle’s battery. The idea of a rotary engine being the primary source of motion in a car today is pretty much out of the question because the inherent nature of rotary engine means that it will not pass today’s exhaust emissions regulation. Or so
