Contrary to popular belief, red comes in different shades. I’m sure you’ve heard of colours like Porsche’s Guard’s Red and Ferrari’s Rosso Scuderia, but you may have more commonly seen Mazda’s Soul Red Crystal instead. What makes it so evocative and a head turner everytime we spot one? Read on. In recent times, Mazda is known for their KODO design philosophy - a philosophy that gave rise to the 2020 Mazda 3, also known as the world’s most beautiful car. With KODO traditionally meaning ‘heartbeat

We’ve all been there, squeezing through a tighter-than-usual spot in a car park and ending up scratching the paint on your car. But before you send your car to be fixed by a professional, did you know that you can attempt to fix it yourself? Depending on the severity of the damage, you may be able to remedy that right at home, without the need to go to a specialist.

Joao Dias, the Principal Exterior Designer at McLaren since 2016, released a design sketch of a sexy-looking red machine on his Instagram with the caption “The world needs more red Mazdas.” The sketch does draw similarities with the RX-Vision concept car, which was previewed 5 years ago. Long bonnet, front-engine sports car with presumably a rotary engine. Typical of design concepts, the wheels are absurdly large and within them are equally massive Brembo brakes. There’s a Mazda logo on the fron

Leaving your car parked under the hot sun seems like a harmless thing to do. What’s the worst that could happen? Just a hot cabin, right? The truth is, the sun can damage your car after extended periods of exposure and this hurts the resale value of your car. Just like our skin, the car’s paint, rubber parts, and upholstery can only withstand that much sun. Things dry up and age faster when exposed to UV rays. Visible effects of sun damage are: Oxidation and fading of automobile paint Discoloura

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. Small damages are good for bargaining, but a used car with major damage is much better avoided. Whether or not to go on with the purchase is entirely up to you. This en

We’ve already covered the differences between the new 2020 Honda Civic FC facelift here. What’s less spoken is the new Passion Red Pearl colour option, which looks fantastic and transforms the familiar but slightly aged Civic's image into a fresh, vibrant new model. The colour itself is not new. It’s already offered for the Jazz, City, BR-V, HR-V, and CR-V. The new colour replaces the previous Civic’s Dark Ruby Red Pearl, a colour that in our opinion, doesn’t look that great. The total number co

At the end of the haphazard 2020 Formula 1 season, Honda announced that they will be pulling out of the sport after the 2021 season to focus on their carbon neutral target.

Honda has always been renowned for bullet-proof engine reliability. If you’ve ever wondered how does Honda test out the reliability of their engines before it is unleashed into the world, here’s a quick video about it.

This is an interesting test considering how car manuals constantly warn
