Fancy the idea of being on a holiday without actually leaving for one? Well, it's much easier now with this car. Pack up your tiny bags, and camera, and you could very well return from an enjoyable mini day trip!

The chassis on the Europa S came from the Opel Speedster, which took its platform from the Elise. Why has Lotus gone one big circle, just to end up trying to make an old dog perform some new tricks? More importantly, has it worked?

You don’t even have to begin with its looks; simply reciting its mouthful of a name would already make one salivate. And if it doesn’t, then you probably won’t be getting the point of this car. It’s something that the brochures aren’t lying about.

Lets see - A mind-blowing hot-hatch with a 2 litre turbo, front-wheel drive, AND a proper, mechanical limited-slip differential. Doesn’t that sound familiar? Come on, think! You know this one.

We've never driven a Toyota Vios before. Yaris? Yes. Corolla? You ought to be shot dead if you have not with the immense number of them running around on the road. The Vios was one of the biggest surprises this year, at least for us it was.

Fancy an LTA legal base WRX that has indeed, been modified to yield significant power gains over the standard model? You don't want to miss this one. The chance for us to sample what a mild, factory tuned street WRX done by Subaru Technica International (STi) was just too sweet to pass up. Is it a significant difference when compared to the standard variant?

Okay, we’re sorry that we are a little late for the party, but that doesn’t mean the excitement’s over. And thank goodness we didn’t miss out on this one! After having spent a good amount of time with the car, I found it difficult to bear parting with it.

The battle for the sub-compact class is heating up. As if it wasn't hard enough choosing between a Picanto, R1, R2 or even a Smart, Cycle and Carriage France has made things even more difficult with the addition of a competitively priced Citroen C1.

Take the standard 407, weld the rear doors shut, and then plonk in a 3.0 litre V6. If you fancy one of those long distance drives, and you want to stand out from the crowd of usual suspects, then this might just be one of those tools of luxury you had in mind for a while now.

Lick-able blue paintwork, white stripes across the bonnet and racing white rims. Designer wheels for speed demonites. Don't buy this if you don't have a private garage - your in laws, neighbours and pets will, rest assured, NOT budge from the proximity of your Mini.

The Saab 9-5, tested. In today's extremely competitive market where 2 litre, European sedans are concerned, can it still hold its ground, just like how it managed to do so for the past 60 years?

A refreshing car, with a refreshing take. Renault has hit it hard with the crowd this time. You don't get a car with van-like proportions that handles like a go-kart everyday.

Raw, mean and in your face. This car isn't your typical BMW M3. Its much more violent...

Aside from the almost similar looking body, the engine has been reworked from the ground up. MINI's new selling point is a promise of go-kart like handling, all in the way of increased refinement/luxury. Really now...

I had the opportunity to bring this car to the winding roads of Cameron Highlands for the weekend. Having owned a Skyline, WRX and driven an NSX Type-R, I dared to declare myself a hardcore JDM fan. However, this particular car - the Volkswagen R32, swung me around 180 degrees. Soon after, "Skyline R32" slowly became "Golf R32"...read on

The Forester 2.0X has often been overshadowed by its 2.5XT "kor kor". Many people often refer to it as the "inferior" or the "slow" one. I had the opportunity to drive both of these vehicles side by side. Guess what? The differences aren't as great as one might think, and I had lots of fun with the X!

Aimed directly at the BMW 5-series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the entry-level 2.0-litre Turbo FSI makes its debut in the locally available in the Audi A6. It is the answer to local buyers craving practicality in a stylish package, filling the gap between the 523i, E200 and the C180.

We never took the 350Z roadster seriously until now, and we have good reason to do so. When push comes to shove and performance is the key, the Roadster comes close to its Coupe sibling. VERY CLOSE.

Far from being a bad thing, the Passat, that literaly means to "Trade Winds" has lots in mind for the ardent trader, or should I say, businessman. The facelift model has more things in it than you might bargain for, and it's entry level performance isn't lacking behind either.

Perhaps the biggest surprise this season, the Mazda 3SP 2.0 is REALLY GOOD. Well it ain't perfect, but get into one of these and feel that conti-fetish of yours start to fade away...

Terrifying in many, many ways, of which not all are the wrong kind, the 2007 Hyundai Tuscani proves to the world what Hyundai can do with its cars. Unfortunately though, the car gives out mixed signals for some of us.

Maserati has officially launched its new Automatic Quattroporte. Far from being slow, this is one Auto that has been grossly reworked to perfection. You want comfortable and fast, don't look anywhere else. This car has it all. We took it round the west end of Singapore for a short, 30 minute spin. Do look forward to a full review of this car in the future.

Far from being the proverbial flying piece of brick that Volvos were long associated with in the past, the S80 is just as tough on the inside. Having received delicious styling cues inside out, we grabbed the 3.2 litre variant for the weekend to see what good it is.

The MX-5 goes automatic and receives paddle shifters for the ultimate in shifting pleasure. But is it really THAT desirable?
