About a year ago, I made the ultimate decision to sell off my bike as I’d made up my mind to purchase a proper, ‘daily-commuter’ bike. However, the purchase was delayed, while I was busy deciding what to get, and it didn’t help that bike after bike was being launched, be it locally or regional, and none of them seriously …

Tyres can easily put a huge dent on your wallet depending on how often you use your car and your driving behavior. Even if you only change your tyres every few years, it is still be an unwelcome expense to your maintenance budget. Since the price for a set of new tyres can costs more than a thousand ringgit, I try my …

Who doesn’t love being spoilt for choice, we do for sure, but I’m sure it can be a tad overwhelming to a point that you don’t know which would suit your budget and needs. However, while the Honda Accord finds itself in competition with some talented rivals, if you are already a part of the Honda cult, you will probably …

I’m by no means a technophile, nor am I in any way, shape or form, a technophobe. I’m somewhere in the middle, skewed closer to the latter perhaps. I guess I’m a bit old-fashioned when it comes to cars, seeing as how the ‘newest’ car I own is probably older than 70% of you reading this. There’s good and bad in that, like there …

These photos have been circulating on social media, and it leaves very little to the imagination… In what apparently became a “death before giving-way” situation, the result is what you can see here. If I were to hazard a guess (duh), I’d say one of those guys up there tried to squeeze in ahead of the other at the Smart …

It has been more than 4 months since the new Honda City was launched locally, and in that time, apart from receiving an unprecedented and record-breaking 10,000 bookings in just its first month, the car that offers “C-segment features at a B-segment price” has proven to be a virtually unbeatable proposition in the latter motoring class. But why is that so? …

First-off, I need to set the record straight. Nobody needs the new Infiniti Q60 Sports Coupe. Nobody. No one. It belongs in the automotive realm reserved purely for wants and not needs. This is not a car one buys for the daily grind – although technically speaking it’s more than up for the task – nay, this car was born …

Let’s be real here, driving an MPV like the Kia Grand Carnival means that you are a family guy with a large family to haul and regardless of what the advertisement says, it’s not as glamorous or as trendy as driving an SUV. However, there are several reasons why we think the Kia Grand Carnival is a compelling choice for a …

Kawasaki Motors Malaysia, one of the busiest bike importers in the country,  has just made the biking scene here a whole lot more interesting with the simultaneous launch of not one, but two brand new bikes into the local bike market, and they are as diverse as they come… One of the bikes they launched is a brand new contender in a …

Right. So it’s another one of those ‘small-engine with a huge hunka-dunka amount of power’ type deals again. They’re out to get me folks, I swear… I’d just gotten over the my misplaced loathsome abhorrence for the amazing little pocket-rocket VW Vento 1.2 a couple of test-drives ago, when ‘lo and behold, along comes the new Tiguan. Does it have a 5.0-litre …

It was an audacious plan to begin with. Having tired of waiting around for the official media ride, a bunch of us decided to draw straws and take matters into our own hands. The winner would be responsible for organising a media ride for a small selected bunch of motorheads, and guess who just happened to be one of them? It wasn’t …

Wait, hang on… Active Cruise Control? As usual, I’d not bothered to read the brochure upon collecting the new Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid for review, so yeah, when the car began to slow down all by itself as it approached traffic on the highway, and sped-up when it cleared while I had the cruise control on, I was quite taken aback, because I’ve …

It came as no surprise when we received the news here at AF, that Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd (HMSB) had achieved their 6-month sales target for the new BR-V in a mere three weeks after its local launch. In fact, we’d even hinted to its impending success in a previous article in late 2015. At the time of writing this …

When you think of Mercedes-Benz’s performance brand, AMG, what comes to mind are images of throaty V8 engines found in big, powerful car that create raucous exhaust notes and smoke the tyres as you exit corners. While big and powerful engines found in the C63 S Coupé for instance, could possibly cost an arm and a leg – not to …

More than often, the wiper blades on your car are often ignored. Over time, wiper blades can harden and crack, subsequently reducing its usefulness. Only when rain starts pouring would one actually start to appreciate their wipers, as it is a natural instinct to turn on the wipers. If the wipers are aged, chances are wiping performance will be bad, …
