Perodua Myvi 1.3
Comparing with its predecessor, Myvi’s body is certainly beefed-up, it may claim to be more aerodynamic or sporty, but it still looks bulbous and insignificant to me. Read more »
Driven in Malaysia – Ford Mondeo 2.0
Ford Mondeo reminds me of its appearance in James Bond film series “Casino Royale” from 2006; it appears in the scene when Bond is driving his way from the airport to Dimitrios’ house in Bahamas, it’s finished in striking Tonic blue and coupled with sporty bodykits, when the car hits the road under the harmonious sunshine, it still looks eerily cool and refreshing. Perhaps Mondeo is Bond’s second choice when he’s not with an Aston Martin? Or it’s just simply the best car for Bond to keep a low profile? Read more »
Driven in Malaysia – Hyundai Tucson 2.0
First of all, if you are eying on a Honda CR-V, you might also need to have a look at its competitor, Hyundai Tucson. Comparing with CR-V, Tucson has a shorter, lower and lighter body. On the contrary, with 166 horsepower and 197Nm of torque at 4600rpm, it has more horsepower and torque than CR-V. With a price tag of around RM126k, it’s also RM24k less expensive. As usual, Hyundai always seduces the customers with bigger yet cheaper pot of sweets. Read more »
Driven in Malaysia – Honda CR-V 2.0
What does CR-V stand for? Civic Recreation Vehicle? Comfortable Runabout Vehicle? Or Compact Recreational Vehicle? Discrepant, but I believe its name stands for everything. It costs around RM150k, it’s basically a FF, it’s only a 4WD when it sees fit(on a hill slope). With a 2.0 i-VTEC engine, it forks out 150ps and maximum torque of 190Nm at 4,200rpm. Even though it’s around RM5k more expensive than a 2.0 Accord, it’s not as performance orientated as Accord since it is 70kg heavier and has slightly lesser horsepower. Read more »
Driven in Malaysia – Nissan Latio Sport 1.6 (Impul tuned)
Style is subjective, I’m not a fan of the Latio’s look, let alone Impul’s version. Latio costs around RM98k, it costs you another few more grand if you want it to be tuned by Impul. Tuned cars look artificial to me, all of those aerokits, impul blast 2 exhaust muffler, 17” team impul GT2 alloy wheels and etc are just not my type. But, boy it puts a smile of my face when driving this “badgeless” Nissan! Read more »
