Thanks to modern day sound insulation, you don’t realise how hot and bothered things are under the hood. Holding the engine in place and absorbing most of the engine's vibration are engine mounts. They take a lot of punishment. Although generally low-maintenance, engine mounts may wear out sooner than you think. Here we will discuss the symptoms of bad engine mounts in your car. A car engine is heavy. Even a small Perodua Axia’s 1KR-VE weighs about 70 kg. A Perodua Myvi’s 2NR-VE weighs about 86

Honda City 1.0L Turbo, engine review: Should Malaysians demand for this new engine?

As you might have already know, the latest fifth generation Honda City has just gone on sale in Thailand earlier this year. Honda's B-segment sedan will now one-up its chief rival the Toyota Vios with an all-new 1.0-litre turbocharged engine. The latest Honda City is not expected to be launched in Malaysia until 2021. Thailand remains the only market in the world to sell it, to be followed by India in the second half of 2020, and the rest of world starting 2021. This means that we can't give you

Panduan membeli - Perodua Kelisa second hand harga stabil atas RM 10k, kereta murah terbaik?

Perodua Kelisa telah diperkenalkan pada tahun 2001 sebagai pengganti Perodua Kancil. Disebabkan populariti dan sambutan Perodua Kancil yang masih memberansangkan, akhirnya kedua-dua model ini dijual bersampingan. Sudah tentu, jualan Perodua Kelisa menerima sedikit kesan tetapi ia menjadikan model ini lebih jarang ditemui berbanding Perodua Kancil. Bagi mereka yang sedang mencari-cari kereta dengan kos pemilikan yang rendah, Perodua Kelisa pasti menjadi pilihan. Harganya pula, masih stabil di ata

Don't turn on your air-conditioning when starting the car, fact or myth?

Which type of car owner are you? Are you the type who makes sure your car air-conditioning is off before you even start the engine and start driving? The is a debate that has started since the concept of A/C in a car was invented, we bust the myth on whether this practice actually makes a difference. The myth of keeping all accessories off came from back in the day when cars still run on carburetors. This was when the advice to let your engine warm up came to be. But, we've since left carburetor

Review: 2020 Perodua Axia 1.0 AV – RM43k for a 1.0-litre engine?

The Perodua Axia is the embodiment of a car in its most essential form. It's got five alloy wheels, an engine to make just enough power, and 5 seats. Being the most affordable car in the market, one would not expect too much from this adorable A-segment hatchback. Perodua has spiced things up on this entry-level car with the Perodua Axia 1.0 AV. Dressed up with some body kits and equipped with Perodua's A.S.A 2.0 autonomous emergency braking safety feature. Often associated with its three-cylind

The eighth-generation Toyota Camry 2.5V raised a lot of eyebrows. It is the most expensive Toyota Camry ever sold in Malaysia priced at RM 196,888 (OTR without insurance). Under the sharp "keen Look" exterior, lies Toyota's latest TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture) platform that adopts double-wishbone rear suspension, low centre of gravity and dynamic handling characteristic.

The 2020 Honda City has yet to go on sale in India, but some Indian medias have started publishing their reviews. To recap, the India market Honda City is slightly different from the Thailand market model. The 1.0-litre turbocharged engine featured on the City RS isn’t offered in India; instead, buyers in India have the choice of two engines: a new 1.5-litre DOHC petrol engine and a carried-over 1.5-litre diesel engine. The petrol engine can be had with a CVT-type automatic or a 6-speed manual,

Review: 2020 Perodua Bezza 1.3 Advance, is it worth RM 49,980? Why not a Persona?

(2020 Perodua Bezza specs & price | Gallery) The range-topping Perodua Bezza 1.3 Advance is in many ways, a misunderstood car. Mainly because of its hefty asking price (for A-segment sedan) of RM 49,980. In comparison, the most cheap 2019 Proton Saga 1.3 Premium sells for RM 39,800 – a cool RM 10,000 cheaper. With a budget of circa RM 50k, one would also look at the Perodua Myvi 1.3 H (RM 50,290) and Proton Persona 1.6 Executive (RM 49,600). Cross-segment shopping is not uncommon given how sensi
