DRIVEN: F56 MINI Cooper, Cooper S in Puerto Rico
Reinventing an icon isn’t a walk in the park. Instead of simply writing a new book, you effectively take an existing book, study the earlier and later chapters, and then come up with a new […]

DRIVEN: 2014 Honda City i-VTEC previewed in Phuket
Small cars are big business. As other industries gnash their teeth over sales declines and predict the end of the world, the automotive players, those with B-segment contenders in particular, are doing rather well. Significantly […]

DRIVEN: 2014 Range Rover Sport tested in the UK
The opener at the checkpoint was memorable, simply because of its uniqueness. “Morning, gentlemen. Ever driven a large SUV through the length of a 747, entering from economy and emerging from first-class?” Well, never, actually, […]

DRIVEN: Mitsubishi Attrage – 21 km/l claims put to test
It’s a very competitive market out there these days, especially in the B-segment, where the cars are bigger than ever, with prices that have never been lower. The sub-RM100k buyer has never had it this […]

DRIVEN: VW Polo 1.6 – locally-built, German quality?
This is a story of the third way. Choosing the right car, especially in the sub-RM100,000 bracket, has always been a case of catch-22. Modern options with powerful downsized-turbo engines are fun, but might bring […]

DRIVEN: W212 Mercedes-Benz E 400 Avantgarde
With the W212 facelift, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class range has finally gone all turbo. While Mercedes-Benz has embraced the downsized force induction formula with its Kompressor (then CGI) range of engines which represent the lower end […]

DRIVEN: BMW 435i Convertible tested in Las Vegas
We want to give the reader fair warning before we get into the review. This is not a “test drive” so much as a “I looked at it up close, sat in it and took […]

DRIVEN: W212 Mercedes E-Class facelift – E 200, E 250
It has long been the car for the prosperous – the premium sedan with unequalled class and an impressive bloodline. But the Mercedes-Benz E-Class has lately become a victim of its own success, upstaged by […]

DRIVEN: BMW M235i Coupe tested in Las Vegas
BMW has trotted out its impeccably preserved compact sporting car at a media launch of its smallest sports coupe to hammer home the point that part of BMW’s DNA will always be to have the […]

DRIVEN: Jaguar XF 2.0 Ti – pouncing on all four pots
If this were a normal test of a Jaguar model, I’d be talking earnestly about its suave British style, impeccable refinement and comfort, while grumbling about the absolute quality of the drive. Well, sorry to […]

DRIVEN: Ford Focus ST vs Renault Megane RS 265
While they didn’t quite invent the concept, French carmaker Renault do take their hot-hatches rather seriously, so much so that it operates a separate division – called RenaultSport – to build them. That’s where the […]

DRIVEN: Honda CR-Z facelift on a west coast getaway
I rarely form a connection to any test car as a true owner would, but tend to view each with a rather detached eye as something to be constantly evaluated and judged. Suppose the Honda […]

DRIVEN: Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2 GS tested in Malaysia
Long has it been since the Japanese carmaker put out something significant for the masses, and I’m not talking about the i-MiEV. The ASX was the last fresh vehicle that rolled out of Aichi. Even […]

Volvo S60 T5 Test Drive Review – 240hp, 320Nm
I’m rolling down the road in the calmest way possible. It is not just because the road is clear of traffic or that the tarmac has gentle curves; no. The reason is this car, the […]
