4x4 seringkali dilihat sebagai sebuah kereta yang lebih sasa. Imej yang ditonjolkan juga nampak lebih tegap dan lasak. Tetapi kebiasaannya, kereta yang ranggi seperti ini terlalu besar untuk digunakan di kawasan bandar. Di sinilah Suzuki Jimny tonjolkan kehebatannya yang agak sukar untuk ditandingi. Sejak diperkenalkan pada tahun 70-an, Suzuki Jimny telah menempah nama sebagai salah satu ikon off-roader di mata dunia.

Think of the 2021 Toyota Fortuner - here in top-spec 2.8 VRZ guise - and it naturally draws comparison to bigger stalwarts in the carmaker's stable. It's not uncommon for people to call it a 'baby Land Cruiser' and while in some cases that may be true, that's a tag that undercuts what the car can do. Priced from RM 203,183 (SST-free, until 30-June 2021), it isn't exactly the cheapest car around, but boy does it put the 'sports utility' part in sports utility vehicle (SUV) to good use. Exterior -

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,

Running in (or breaking in) your new car is a standard practice that has been recommended by car manufacturers for the longest time. The task is simple – drive the car until the designated mileage set for the first service (anything from 1,000-2,000 km), but do not exceed 3,000-4,000 rpm to let all the mechanical bits ‘set in’.
