What is the world coming to? Luxury buyer preferences seem to be split into two different directions… there are those who like sedans which look like coupes… And there are those who love SUVs. But what if, you have you have just space for one car and just a pair of buttcheeks (the latter is obvious), what do you do? Well how about the best of both worlds?

So you are all grown up now, with a family in tow, sporting the occasional backache from realising that the car is a little too low when you place your kids into their child seats. Your parents are also complaining that they have trouble getting in and out of your ride. Perhaps this is the other side of your mid-life crisis that is lesser noticed.

With more than 6,000 reworked components, the C Class has gone through a much-needed mid-life refresh and is even better.

Can Namyang’s firecracker be a better car than the King from Wolfsburg?

It’s that time of the year again, where couples all over show their affection for each other with expensive gifts and overpriced dinners in an expression of love. Yep, it’s Valentine’s Day. If you’re looking to impress your date on this special day, here are some cool rides that are bound to make an impression, and maybe help you get lucky too.

We took the 2.0 version of the BMW X2 for a drive a while ago, and liked how the car’s styling was inspired by various references to older BMW coupes

Crisp lines and a silhouette which bears an uncanny resemblance to the LS flagship car. The new ES definitely looks striking from most angles.

The Hyundai Elantra makes a comeback, in different clothes, but with the same formula of value, value and more value.

Our car of choice during a recent road trip to Thailand was the MINI John Cooper Works Countryman. We have driven North-east from Bangkok to Khao Yai before with the whole range of John Cooper Works cars for a mini track day (no pun intended), and were impressed. And so we thought, how about putting one through its paces on a prolonged real world test?

The new A Class to us still checks the “dreams and aspirations Merc” box, and it seems that they have made large steps in improving their “Baby Benz”.

Sounds like KIA is upping its game… a lot. Like its sister company, which launched the Kona in 1.6 litre and three cylinder 1.0 guise, KIA’s B-segment Stonic two-box checks some very attractive boxes.

The Skoda Karoq is the Czech brand’s second SUV in their all-out vehicle offensive. Having the same design DNA as its larger bear-named Kodiaq sibling, the compact sized SUV might be that ideal one size fits many vehicle. As SUVs become more popular, there is no mainstream brand without something ‘soft roader’ to show off.

I have always seen the four-doored coupe as a sacrilegious necessity, and one our current generation could do with. Perhaps the four-doored coupe will kill off some sedans in the near future, by taking over their nameplate instead of manufacturers fielding two cars which quite almost sit within the same box.

It usually means a less entertaining drive when you own a variant of a car with a smaller, less powerful engine… which is the fact in most cases. And then there are times when you find that the reverse is the case.

You can always trust the Koreans when it comes to loading a car with all sorts of gizmos, that has been the Korean value proposition for quite a while now. The new Hyundai Santa Fa has not escaped this trait, but we think that the Koreans have done quite well with the amount of thought put into their family-sized SUV.

A car for practical family fun! Well, not quite. But this is as close as you can get to doing that if you were to have spare change and would want a Ferrari.

If it were a song, Volvo’s compact-sized SUV may have given all the right feels. That is if that song was for someone who had taste for something a little left field. That said, the Swedish brand’s compact oozes charisma, leaves an impression that you are driving around in something a little larger, and is actually quite the practical car.

It is no secret that MINI builds cars always with a cheeky element of fun in them. Their 3 door hatch body style is truly their halo car, while some other models have partially stepped out of the box which defines MINI, to meet growing customer needs.

VW’s new supermini rocks into town with a new beat. 

Being able to take the BMW X4 xDrive20i through the small town roads in Ipoh and on the North-South highway is a great way to see just how well the car performs, and to really put it through its paces.

“Like Wow”... that was my first impression as my eyes settled onto its glossy black dash. The new A8 is a very pretty car inside and out, styled with purposeful accentuated lines, giving the impression of lightness and strength.

What on earth has BMW done? Traditionally, the BMW M5 has always been a rear-driven driver’s machine built to be tamed, or built to tame… The new M5 loses its rear-wheel drive only setup, in favour of 4wd.

Getting behind the wheels of the 2018 Hyundai Tucson, a car that has received several accolades, the foremost questions on my mind were, “is it better? And if so, how has the car improved?”. After spending some time with this third generation Tucson, I can say that the car is clearly and unequivocally, simply better.

Opel’s flagship sedan is designed with a coupe-like stance and actually hides a very practical car behind its sporty facade
