My car is nine (9) years old and thus the paintwork was far from new with lots of micro-scratches from all the car washes. However, fortunately, apart from that, the paintwork was still in relatively good condition with no deep scratches and just some minor stone chips in the front end. Ceramic Pro is the global leader in ceramic coatings based on nano-technology, and offers a range of products each formulated … Continue reading Protect Your Car with Ceramic Pro Permanent Nano-Ceramic Paint Coating

[Automotive News]   The nice folks over at Honda Malaysia passed me their (2017) Honda Jazz (facelift) V variant which was launched last year.

The engine provides 120 PS at 6,600 … Continue reading A Date with the (2017) Honda Jazz 1.5L V (Car Review) and New Price List with SST (Effective 1 September 2018)

Tim Chew

[Car Review]   I had sooooooo much fun with the Elantra Sport Turbo 1.6GDi during Chinese New Year earlier this year (which you can read here – https://timchew.net/2018/03/06/chinese-new-year-2018-with-the-6th-generation-hyundai-elantra-sport-1-6-turbo-gdi/) that I really couldn’t wait to try out another of Hyundai Motor’s turbocharged engine vehicles.
