Malaysia will enforce minimum fuel economy for each manufacturer, calculated based on their weight of their models, by year 2030. Details are still under deliberation, but we understand that the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and automotive policy think tank MARii will share some preliminary information later this month. Corporate Average Fuel Economy, better known as CAFE, is used to set maximum allowable fuel consumption (or minimum fuel economy targets) for a vehicle manu

Proton launched the enhanced 2022 Proton Iriz a few weeks ago. Prices for the new 2022 Proton Iriz start from RM 40,300 and tops out at RM 54,000 (sans SST, valid until 31-December 2021). Question is, what’s the minimum salary you need before you can apply for a loan? How much money do I need to make? For the purpose of this article, we will take the top-spec Iriz 1.6 Active CVT as a reference. This variant is priced at RM 54,000. The monthly repayment for this variant is roughly RM 580 a month,

Guessed so. The Honda Jazz’s Ultra Seats is nice to have but how often do you even fold the rear seats? So what’s t

It is no surprise that I am a strong believer of Android Auto – it encompasses everything you could possibly ask for in an infotainment system, including voice command, navigation, and music streaming. There's no need to fawn over the Proton X70's voice command, which we have to add, doesn't come with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. With Android Auto, you use voice control to read/reply WhatsApp messages and enter a destination to Google Maps or Waze, as well as selecting your playlist on Spotify

If you’ve ever car-pooled with a Perodua Myvi Advance owner you would be left in awe of their ability to go through tolls without needing to lift a finger. The built-in SmartTag reader is the most thoughtful device ever to be included in a car and it has further given the Myvi a huge lead as the best value-for-money car in our market. I know what you’re thinking, when you purchase a SmartTag device, we were given a holder to attach the device to our screens. But the trend of breaking wind shield
