DRIVEN: 2017 Proton Iriz first impressions review
Remember the Proton Iriz? I’m sure you do – it was launched three years ago to much hype and fanfare, and was supposed to herald a new beginning for the national carmaker. We certainly tempered […]

DRIVEN: W205 Mercedes-Benz C350e plug-in hybrid – going it clean and green in this electric machine
Funny how things play out sometimes. There had been no plans to bring in the Mercedes-Benz C 350 e plug-in hybrid here when it was first tested two years ago in San Francisco, because the […]

DRIVEN: X156 Mercedes-AMG GLA45 4Matic and Mercedes-Benz GLA220 4Matic facelift in Hungary

DRIVEN: Volkswagen Tiguan – striking middle ground
Another month, another new SUV. Or so it seems from our commentary box. The second-generation Volkswagen Tiguan was launched last month in Malaysia, and it joins the traditional core of the SUV market, a class […]

DRIVEN: 2017 Mazda CX-9 – pricey, but is it worth it?
These days, car buyers have all been siloed into clearly-defined market segments and price points. Take the SUV and crossover market, for instance. Customers looking for a big, car-based seven-seater are split into two distinct […]

DRIVEN: Honda BR-V 1.5L – seven seats, family first
Is the BR-V even remotely adequate for Malaysian needs? Colleague Anthony Lim asked me this via chat while I was seated in the middle row of the Honda BR-V, heading back to KL from the […]

DRIVEN: Mercedes-AMG CLA45 – excess is welcomed
Oscar Wilde once said: Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess. While that may be a stupid thing to say when it comes to food, with the calories found in our nasi lemak […]
