While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.

    You will never go wrong with sushi cars. But Toyota is still preferred. Buy Toyota better, good RV.

    As long as its not a kimchi, it will have RV.

    If its a KIA or Ssangyong, it can no longer be traded in

    Very good increase in legroom. Though I think this is more of a minor surgery rather than just a facelift. Don’t think i’ve heard any facelifts that involve change to the overall structure like this. Just wish they’d done more to the dashboard, which looks uninspiring.
