Our Ativa’s rattling sound is fixed! What was the problem? - Long-term review #6

It has been about two weeks of ownership with our Perodua Ativa. How have things been? Well, the rattling sound we mentioned previously had gotten really annoying. Every time we drove over abrupt irregularities on the right side, the sound became more and more apparent. We needed to take the Ativa to Sepang on Tuesday to check out some Malaysian-made electric car, so we held off going to the service centre until Wednesday.

Deal Breaker: We love the Honda Jazz but we just can't live with the infotainment system!

The 2017 Honda Jazz is, hands down, the must-have car if you’re looking for a B-segment hatchback. It is practical, spacious, fuel efficient and its steering is nicely weighted for city dwellers to easily squeeze into tight spaces. But there is one thing that stops us from gushing over the hatch and it is the Jazz’s poor infotainment system. When the Honda Jazz was updated in 2017, not only did the touchscreen unit shrunk in size (from 7-inch to 6.8-inch) but the system itself seem to have downg
