Is the new Hyundai Avante the new standard to meet, or will the Mazda3 Sedan and Toyota Corolla Altis still prove to be compelling choices?
Those looking for a relatively economical way to transport seven people are likely to have a dilemma with these two offerings from Honda and Toyota.
Those after a no-frills MPV should seriously take a look at the latest Avanza - an MPV that promises a good blend of practicality, function and bang-for-buck.
It may not be huge but it most certainly gets the job done.
We’ve all seen and heard how bad budget cars can be. But is the Viva really deserving of the public’s stereotyped image?
Add 2 parts Chrysler, 1 part Honda, a dash of Mercedes-Benz and a ton of "Suzuki powder." Voila! Say hello to China's latest offering - the Chana Benni. Unlike some forms of junk to emerge from the People's Republic, this one harbours a fair bit of hope.
We have reason to believe that Chery aims to flood the global market with (ed. plagiarized) subcompacts. First the QQ, the current A1, soon the upcoming QQ2 and QQ5 in China. Everyone was up in arms over the QQ's copyright controversy as well as safety ratings of the vehicle.
The person who came up with the phrase "first impressions last," sure meant his weight in gold. Good thing we brought that up then, because the appearance of this car, does not have anything to do with that of the abovementioned verb.
Clear white, Lemon Yellow, Orange, Scarlett Red Galaxy Black, Metallic Pink.. the list goes on! We're almost sure that the buyer of these cars will have a hard time deciding between the colours they should choose.
I have to admit I wasn't expecting much when I was given the keys to this car. How good can it be at the price? With so much flak about "made in China," would it crumple like paper if anything happens? Would it be able to stand on its own against the bigger boys on the road? Never mind all that. In the first place, would it even start?
