Citroen D5 : Road Captain Cockpits !!!
Typical Malaysia market has taught Citroen that there is most logical and precise matter to consider before selling a car here. In spite of very low resale value and expensive spare part, Proton Tiara the joint venture car between Proton and PSA Peugeot Citroen has been ceased the production in 2000 somehow has hurts the brand further .
So, how is Citroen now. What I can say it is WOW !!!!. Citroen has totally changed and most prominent car manufacturer in France. Various joint venture teach Citroen a lesson to move forward with premium luxury offering.
Citroen D5 is the can be complete incarnation DS Line . The DS5 is an intriguing mix of high-roofed hatchback, coupé and sports estate has mounting pressure on the traditional D-segment family saloon in Europe.
Crafting together several different styles of cars into one package that you can’t find anywhere has make D5 one in his kind. Bring by Naza World the DS5 THP156 were priced at RM195,000 with five-year unlimited mileage warrant. For sure it quite a contender to Peugeot 508.
Powered by 1.6 liter Direct Injection Petrol Engine paired with Six speed automatic gearbox and front wheel drive.. Power at 156 hp, with 240 Nm of torque, achieved 9.7 seconds on time to 0-100 km/h and a tested top speed of 202 km/h.
Standard smart keyless entry, rear view camera, dual-zone climate air-con, Arkamys audio with Denon sound system. Auto wipers, Xenon lights, rear parking sensors, electric front seats with memory and driver massaging driver’s features.
Despite split A Pillar and rear screen has limited the visibility during reversing. The cramp and lack legroom at back somehow can be discounted if you not bring adult at your back. Very quite engine and small drama during acceleration but not much noticeable. Suspension weakness notable during kissing the pothole loops. The tire noise is present inside cabin but not bad as Honda Civic FD.

Jeremy Clarkson :Top Gear Host Member of Parliment Dream !!!
His tweet has been retweeted over 4,400 times. And after a weekend there is no further news of his political aspirations. It was assume that just idle banter.
According to Wikipedia , Doncaster North located in Southern Yorkshire, the area is currently represented by the leader from Liberal Labour Party, Ed Miliband. The question is can Clarkson win over Miliband who win majority 19,637 (47.3%) out of 41,483 votes in 2010 General Election. However ,he should think spending time with local there commenting their cars and tips how damage the car in professional way….. There once he has called former Prime Minister Gordon Brown a "one-eyed Scottish idiot" and has done same rude insulting and bad critic of other countries leaders. Even this man has not been very quiet about his political aspiration somehow there one petition to assume him for the position of Prime Minister.
I myself can’t imagined he as a Future British Prime Minister …OMG!!!!

Volvo V40 T4 & T5 : A Swedish Touch !!!
Volvo is a premium brand recognized worldwide as safest car on road. His entire car has achieved 5 star rating in Euro NCAP testing and good records on other testing organization worldwide as well. Latest offering the V40 has surprised testing agencies on the record breaking on history of achievement on testing in 2012.
In Malaysian perspective owing a Volvo is very expensive due very bad resale value include claim of difficulties of getting spare part and high maintenance cost. It is really that bad. Beware used car dealer use this reason to bargain a lower price to purchase the Volvo car from you. End up when you check the second hand used volvo car price much higher than what you have sold to the same used car dealer before. Why !!! Yes somehow the maintenance cost and spare parts are expensive but do a calculation and study.
.jpg)
The expensive spare parts due very low demand as Volvo car seldom breakdown or part not easily spoiled compared to Japanese car. No imitation parts available due low demand. Maintenance is use high grade of engine oil, full variable checking, original parts and professional care in ensure your Volvo car performance is maintain.
Came back to Volvo V40 the car is extremely superb. As I can say it is perfect car in terms of safety and comfort. The continental feeling is well presented even though this model is now fully CKD production in Shah Alam, Malaysia.
TheV40 T4 & T5 is powered 1.6 liter and 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine similar in the current S60 and V60 T4. Power by six-speed dual-clutch power shift transmission is easily generate 180 hp and 240 Nm of torque. On top , its easily reached 8.5 second from 0-100 km/h sprint, and tested top speed up to a 225 km/h.
Further, the wheel of T4 wrap with 16-inch five-spoke (Matres) and T5’s are an extra inch in Segomo’ design . Meanwhile V40 Cross Country loaded with 17-inch six-spoke (Larenta) wheels as standard with optional 19-inch Alecto’.
Standard safety list includes a cruise control, torque vectoring, cross traffic alert, BLIS, city safety cruise, dynamic stability, traction control, and active bending lights plus seven airbags (with a knee airbag on the driver’s side).
Generous equipment list continue with memory function electric front seat, fold-flat rear seats, automatic climate control, auto wipers, flexible boot floor , keyless entry for The T5 and Cross Country model with Park Assist Pilot (auto park) .However the Pedestrian Airbag as standard in European model not included.
The safety rating release by Euro NCAP in 2012 5 star with 98% Adult Occupant, 75% Child Occupant, Pedestrian 88% and Safety Assist 100%.
As I say this a premium model and the best offering from Volvo for Malaysian.
Test Drive Review : Mitsubishi Mirage, Small Cute Panda !!!
Mitsubishi Mirage is small hatchback car and fuel economy is main attraction offered by Mitsubishi Motor Malaysia. Claimed that fuel saving of 21km /liter, the car is really good in fuel and handling. The way it presented somehow might attract women than men because it looks more like a small bunny car.
Inside the interior is nicely presented with not so good
plastic dashboard but nice tone of colors. The dashboard is simple and clean
with glowing light from speedometer. There are 5 color variant offering in
Malaysian market with two versions of GS and GL.
The weight around 865kg the car seems looks heavier than
weight. The Mirage uses an INVECS-III CVT gearbox with 5 speed transmission.
The suspension install with front of Macpherson
struts and a rear torsion beam. The breaks for front are vented discs and rears
are drums. While the steering is the electric EPS with turning circle of 4.4 meter,
which is best in his class. All trim levels wear 14-inch alloys with 165/65 tire.
Driving from JM Auto Gallery, Butterworth , I found this car
is very interesting to drive. Very skeptic on engine performance I tried to
push hard the acceleration and decent rpm reach easily with small amount of
drama. The car some lack of stability during hard cornering due to light
weight. During the stop at traffic light the engine is seem vibrating and this
was irritating factor. The steering ratio not so precise but acceptable.
The GS version came with pricing RM 65,962.15 with insurance
and GL version RM 61,992.15 and manual GL version price RM 56,992.15. It is
fully imported from Thailand, 3 year warranty and 1 year free maintenance
service. Load with safety features ABS, EDB , ISOFIX and dual SRS Airbag is
good bargain for this small car.
Asean NCAP result show 4 star with COP 44% can somehow need
to look by Mitsubishi. As I say girl will love to buy this car. When it decorate with
colorful sticker and it look more like a small panda bear.

ASEAN NCAP: SWIFT A TOP SCORE !!!
In Malaysia, the importance of safety specification on
buying a car stills very low and not a big issue . Several developed country has mandatory
testing rating requirement and list of safety equipment must be install before they can sell
the car there. I think most of us always heard freak accident which the car
break into two pieces, skidded to left and plunge into river.
Even the fate is playing domain roles here but sometimes the high end safety equipment can save us from more damage and injury.
Talking about safety rating, I have cross over a recent testing on famous car model in Malaysia Suzuki Swift CKD 1.4 GLX by Asean NCAP.
In test 2010 by Euro NCAP Suzuki Swift 1.2 GL have achieved 5 star rating where Adult Occupant 94%, Child Occupant 82%, Pedestrian 62% and Safety Assist 71% .( Euro NCAP Rating Suzuki Swift Source :http://www.euroncap.com/results/suzuki/swift/2010/403.aspx)
The result shows the car is have 4 star rating category
which scored 13.32 in Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) and 77% in Child Occupant
Protection (COP) Rating. This Phase II test show Suzuki Swift CKD is best in
his CKD class to achieve these ratings. However the absent of Vehicles
Stability Control (VSC) features on Suzuki Swift has decreased the one star
behind.
The Suzuki Swift CKD 1.4 GLX safety kit consists of dual
airbags, ABS and EBD with brake assist, and the 1,000 kg vehicle rides on
16-inch multi-spoke alloys, wrapped with 185/55 series tyre.
I already bought a Suzuki Swift 1.4 GLX as this is one of the reason why I choose this car.

But when come small sedan car both manufactured are equally offered the best in their products. Previous Toyota Vios was always refer as Dugong look anyhow seem attract lot of buyers due to Toyota power branding with a look of small version of Altis and Camry. It carried almost all aspect both cars have but in smaller and less specs.

Please UMW Toyota mind it, the Budget 2014 announcement is soon to be arrived with lot rakyat goodies especially Bonus…..Good luck
For Vios it is top selling cars for Toyota as the all new Toyota Vios is waited by buyers as choice or consideration of new cars.A market says some of newly launch car by other manufacturer sees some lower sales due to wait and see customer for the launch of this new Vios. Most of my friends who interested to change new car want to tried in hand the new vios first.
Why Vios so important and best selling in his class. First it is cheapest offering from Toyota . Now the new offering is said ‘value beyond belief’ going to be offered on affordable price.
Estimated price released which for it comes in five variants, with top of the range Vios 1.5 TRD Sportivo selling at RM93,200. The Vios 1.5 G automatic sells at RM88,500, while the Vios 1.5 E automatic and the Vios 1.5 J automatic cost RM82,900 and RM77,300, respectively. The entry level Vios 1.5 J manual sells at RM73,200.
The existing model's 1.5-litre 1NZ-FE VVT-i engine and four-speed Super-ECT automatic transmission will be carried over to this new model. Higher specs will have push start button , automatic climate control air con, projector headlamps, black interior and semi leather seat. The entry specs will have fabric seat and optional DVD Navigation with reverse camera feature.
The safety specs will feature same as old model include ABS with EBD and BA, dual front SRS airbags, force limiters and whiplash injuring lessening (WIL) front seats and front seatbelts with pre-tensioners .
The mistake done in Camry is seems carried forward in this model as the VSC is still not available. But Honda ahead in this features by already install for its similar class model the 2013 Honda City E and E+ models. How the public will react to this VSC absent was not sure as this is one of Toyota cheapest car and unless the star rating of Asean NCAP can prove it.
The launch maybe ahead in last week of September 2013 or early October 2013 as Hari Raya Haji was coming soon in October 2013. UMW might not want to wait or delay before they lose the chance to get a kuih raya.
