It's All FUN With The All-New Volkswagen Tiguan I've gotten my grubby hands on the stylish new SUV from Volkswagen, the Tiguan 1.4 TSI recently, which was a treat for myself and the family.

Top 10 Fuel Efficient Cars In Malaysia - Get More Mileage

Image
With the Ringgit going down day by day, one must be finding those cars which could save them few bucks. To add fuel to fire, the petrol prices have also come up. Nowadays, refueling your car may turn out to be a big drain in your wallet. Moreover, majority of us depend on private vehicles as a mode of transport instead of going for public transport. Even the automakers these days are striving to improve their vehicle's fuel consumption so that we can get more mileage for less fuel.  Below I have listed one of the most fuel-efficient cars which you can find in Malaysia.  1. Proton Iriz 1.3 MT

Car Maintenance 101 (CM101) @ TOC Automotive College Malaysia

Image
Located in Petaling Jaya, it was my first time entering TOC Automotive College last week. I was there to attend their Car Maintenance 101 (CM101) half day course. It's all about gaining some much needed basic knowledge on general car care through proper maintenance, repair techniques and safe driving. A heavy car user, clocking in 100km + daily, I felt these knowledge are of paramount importance as you'll never know when the ride might breakdown.

The Importance of Buckling Up Your Kids In The Car

Image
So I've been using the Volkswagen Duo Plus ISOfix child seat for the past 5 months or so, to buckle and strap my two kids in when they are in the car. The laws concerning child seat in Malaysia is still pretty lax, but that does not mean they are not important. In fact, based on what I've read online, there's a whole lot of car accidents that ended up fatal for the children passengers due to lack of child seats, or the misuse of these seats.  The Importance of Buckling Up Your Kids In The Car 

Korean Car Mates (KCM) - Korean Cars Specialist Service Centre

Image
My ride has been my workhorse for the past 2 years+, 3years exactly this October, now clocking in at over 120,000 km. Ever since my 100k km mark, I've begun servicing my Kia Forte outside the Kia service centres , mainly due to the prohibitive high pricing that Naza charges for servicing and labour. I have modified my ride to the extent that voiding the factory warranty seems pretty reasonable for the huge savings incurred by servicing it outside.  This time around, for my car's 120,000km service I did it at KCM (Korean Car Mates), the Korean Cars Specialist at Glenmarie Shah Alam after hearing lots of recommendations from fellow car club members. Check out my experience, the pricing and what has been changed in my post below.  Korean Car Mates (KCM) - Korean Cars Specialist Service Centre

Hitachi Automotive Battery - MFX Series With 2 Years Warranty

Image
Car automotive batteries have been a concern among drivers in recent years. With the introduction and mass use of the maintenance-free batteries , most drivers won't know their car batteries have run out of juice until the last minute. Hence the need for a more reliable battery as well as jump start cables. Recently, I helped my friend jump start her car, and in tandem with that I advised her to go for the latest Hitachi Automotive MFX Battery as it is one of the very few batteries in the market offering up to 2 years of warranty aka peace of mind. The Hitachi MFX battery also has a battery condition indicator on the lid to make it super easy for motorists to determine its condition. This makes the Hitachi MFX battery especially good for lady drivers as they don’t have to worry about their cars breaking down at odd hours or in the middle of nowhere.
