It's All FUN With The All-New Volkswagen Tiguan

Image
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. We took it for a road trip all the way to Sekinchan and back, a fun trip indeed. It's a really spacious vehicle, and well thought out in all aspects, from the design to its functionality. Read on below for my thoughts on it.  Road trip! It's All FUN With The All-New Volkswagen Tiguan

Tesla Model S 85 (Premium Electric Sedan) Showcase @ EV Experience Cyberview Event

Image
Tesla, the motor brand I've heard so much about, yet their electric cars have not found their way to Malaysian shores yet. Over the past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend an EV Experience event courtesy of Cyberview, where we got hands on experience with Tesla's premium electric sedan, the Model S. On top of that, it was an eye opening experience on what the future will bring. Tesla Model S (Premium Electric Sedan) Showcase @ EV Experience Cyberview Event

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.

All New Honda City Bloggers Fun Drive

Image
Just last week or so, I attended another fun Honda bloggers drive, this time it was in the All-new Honda City. Now I've been to a couple of other Honda bloggers drive, and I must say, this time around they did not disappoint. We were brought on a short food trail of sorts, to dine and even learn about some coffee education at Barista Guild Asia, before ending up at MAEPS, Serdang for some serious test drive of the Honda City.

TheBatteryShop.my : My Experience With The Malaysian Car Battery Assist Company

Image
Have you ever had that time when your car battery suddenly decided it's time to shutdown and not work anymore? It always happens at the most inappropriate time, and last week I experienced that exact scenario, where my car battery died on me while the car is parked on the top floor of a building. That's when I remembered there's this car battery assist company, The Battery Shop which provides help in emergencies like this!   TheBatteryShop.my : My Experience With The Malaysian Car Battery Assist Company

Toyota Vios 1.5 TRD Sportivo Review

Image
I was at the Toyota Vios launch event back in 2013 when they launched their 3rd gen look in Malaysia, and I must say it wow'ed a lot of folks with its looks. ( All New Toyota Vios Launched In Malaysia ). It was rather cool then that last week I was given the latest Toyota Vios 1.5 TRD Sportivo to experience and review here in this space of mine on the web. Toyota Vios has always been a rather popular car in Malaysia, being an essential part of youth pop culture in Malaysia, with looks that will turn heads. Toyota Vios 1.5 TRD Sportivo Review

Autosaver Automotive Service Centre @ Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur

Image
Chinese New Year is only a week away. Have you serviced your car for the long journey back to your hometown yet? I've been servicing my ride at the Kia service centre all this while, but this time around, for my 100,000km service, based on recommendations from fellow car club members and friends, I decided to try out Autosaver Automotive Service Centre . Check out my review of their service and parts changed from my visit last week below.  Autosaver Automotive Service Centre @ Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur

CitiCars Automobile Service Centre @ The Gardens Mall Midvalley

Image
Owning a vehicle would mean that we will need to service it too, at regular intervals, be it every 5,000km, 10,000km, or 15,000km. How often do we delay servicing out beloved cars because it usually means leaving our car at the service centres for hours on end, without anything to do except to stare at the mechanics working on our vehicle. Introducing the new 'auto service centre in shopping malls' concept, CitiCars Automobile Service Centre @ The Gardens Mall Midvalley where one can leave their cars in safe hands for servicing while heading off to shop till you drop!

Service Your Vehicle @ KIA Service Centre For Chinese New Year

Image
Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and the exodus back to hometown has begun. Everybody has either started or is going to head back in time for the celebrations. Now any long journey can be dangerous if our vehicle has not been checked or serviced recently, hence I was at the nearest KIA Service Centre a couple of days back in Setapak for my 60,000 km service in preparation of the journey back.   Servicing my car at the KIA Service Centre @ Setapak for the CNY holidays

Patching Up A Flat Tyre After New Year's Day

Image
Waking up on the second day of 2014, to a sight which made me feel like I did something wrong last year and this was a punishment to me. I saw my car slumped to the left side, as the front left tyre was left without any air inside, being flat and all . Instantly, my thoughts were to dig out my tyre changing tools and my spare tyre from the boot of my car, to change to a spare tyre and drive to the nearest tyre shop to repair my flat one.  Seeing this sight always makes me sad

'Volkswagen On Tour' Brand Showcase @ Queensbay Mall Penang

Image
Just recently, I was in Penang to catch Volkswagen On Tour's first venue over at Queensbay Mall Penang. Traveling back to my hometown, I was really glad to see that Volkswagen Malaysia is listening to the feedback from the public and has brought the brand and its German engineered range of fleet to 13 locations nationwide beginning from Penang. The 'Volkswagen On Tour' brand showcase kicks off from 13th December until March 2014. 'Volkswagen On Tour' @ Queensbay Mall Penang

So there I was at the rather new Suzuki Setia Gemilang Auto showroom located in Sungai Buloh for their grand launch in conjunction with the all-new Suzuki Swift 2013 car.

Chevy Sonic Launched In Malaysia

Chevrolet Malaysia today launched a new subcompact vehicle named Chevrolet Sonic or the “Sonic”. The Sonic is available as both a four-door sedan and a five-door hatchback, giving it a presence in the highly competitive B-segment. The Sonic promises a far superior refinement, plus better safety, and higher performance. It is also one of the safest, especially among value-leading compacts when compared to other vehicles of its size and price class. This vehicle shows a lot of soul with fresh styling, agile driving dynamics and a spirited engine.  Chevy Sonic Launched In Malaysia

New Lexus LS Luxury Sedan Launch Event

Car launch events, especially high-end luxury ones are a rarity for me, so I was pretty psyched up when invited to check out the all-new Lexus LS Luxury Sedan Launching over at Lexus Centre in Mutiara Damansara a couple of days back. Announced by Lexus Malaysia, a division of UMW Toyota Motor, their latest flagship model was unveiled re-iterating Lexus' commitment to the luxury saloon market.  New Lexus LS Luxury Sedan Launch Event

New Toyota Prius C Media Launch

Image
Toyota had their launching of the New Improved Toyota Prius together with the much awaited All-New Toyota Prius C recently over at Sunway Convention Centre. I had the opportunity to attend this and witness first hand the unveiling of these 2 very cool hybrid vehicles. The moment I laid eyes on the new Toyota Prius C , the first thing that went through my mind was, "This Prius C will definately be a hit among car lovers!". Toyota Prius C Launch Event Sitting though the product ( Toyota Prius C ) introduction, I was surprised to find out this chic youthful looking car is going to be sold for RM97k , cheaper than the current sub 100k hybrid which was the Honda Insight. Just looking at the Toyota Prius C got me all excited as I realize for this price range, with the looks, 1.5L engine capacity, and the rather spacious interior and boot, this hybrid is going to rock the market. Unveiling of the price for Prius, Prius Luxury and the latest Prius C The event was to showca...

Weird Place For A Car Number Plate

Image
Today, I came back from lunch to see this car which strikes me as being quite interesting due to the way the owner placed his car number plates. Have a look below. If you haven't noticed, his number plates were propped up inside the car, and not fixed outside as per normal. Interesting and it made me think of the possible reasons he or she may have done that. It didn't take me long to figure out the reason. The owner just changed his original myvi rear bonnet to an imported Passo rear bonnet. What he didn't do was stick back the Perodua emblem, and get a number plate holder!

My Ride Auto Grooming Wangsa Melawati

Image
I have always been kind of lazy to wash my car, not so much of laziness but the lack of space. My rented house in Wangsa Maju does not give me much open area to wash it. Therefore, I'm always on a look out for good, affordable and most importantly clean car wash outlet. Well for the past 2 years or so, I've been a loyal customer of this outlet in Wangsa Melawati. The name of this car wash outlet is called My Ride Auto Grooming, which is kind of familiar if you ask me. It reminded me of the MTV show "Pimp My Ride". But most importantly is the service and effort they put in to ensure your ride is clean and shiny when you drive out of the place. My Ride Car Wash Outlet at Wangsa Melawati My Ride Auto Grooming provides a multitude of services and items other than the car wash itself ranging from waxing and polishing to car carpets. I've utilized the polishing services on a few occasions, and they never fail to impress. I was there 2 days ago to give my car a go...

KLCC View From A Traffic Jam

Image
I was stuck in a rather bad crawl along Jalan Tun Razak the other day, and when I turned to my right, I saw the view below. From my viewpoint, I could see the skyline of KL which included KLCC and the older monument which was KL tower. KLCC used to be the tallest building in the world at one point, currently 3rd or 4th in the world, and yet here we are taking it for granted. Just look at how tall it is towering above the other buildings in the vicinity. I could actually compare the height of KL Tower versus KLCC. Well, I just felt like sharing this, since at the time this picture was taken, it took my mind off the infamous KL traffic jam for a moment. KLCC from a distance
