Audi RS 4 Avant Preview Drive
The RS 4 has landed! Audi invited us to get a taste of one of the first few units that breathed Singapore air. How could we refuse?
Call Of The Jungle… | Peugeot 208 e-HDi
… The urban one, that is. Peugeot’s latest baby has landed and, curiously for this end of the market, it’s a diesel!
The Baby Benz Grows Up | Mercedes-Benz A200 Urban
IN Mercedes-Benz, A200, A Class, Hatch-back
Mercedes-Benz calls it the “rebel” of the family. Like most rebels, they may have some traits that you'll admire about them, but most prove to be very hard to live with.
Mercedes-Benz CLS350 Shooting Brake
Mercedes may have launched this stylish looker here under the radar. But in our opinion, it should have been the star of the CLS range.
Dull And Drab No More | Volvo V40 Cross Country
IN Volvo, V40, Cross Country, Hatchback
Volvo's V40 Cross Country is style and substance all rolled into one.
Less Can Be More | BMW 316i M Sport
Last to the 3 Series family, the 316i may pack the least power, but it's so affable, it may just leave its middle siblings neglected by the crowd.
Hole-In-One | Volkswagen Golf Sport 1.4 TSI
IN Volkswagen Group Singapore, Volkswagen, VW, Golf, 1.4 TSI, TDI, DSG, Mk 7, 7, 1.6 TDI
Volkswagen scores a hole-in-one with the new Golf. We drive it, only to find out that it has just bagged the coveted Car of the Year award. We couldn't agree with the judges more.
Mean & Green | BMW ActiveHybrid 3
IN BMW, 3 Series, Performance Motors, Hybrid, Active Hybrid, 3
How do we save the world without any super powers? BMW has the answer. Packing 335 bhp and 450 Nm, the ActiveHybrid 3 is both mean and green!
Clean Performance | Audi A6 Hybrid
Audi's A6 Hybrid packs a combined power of 245 bhp and will save you some money too (if you drove it like it had 120 bhp)! But for the price, wouldn't a 3.0 TFSI make more sense?
French Kiss | Peugeot 408 1.6 Turbo
IN Peugeot, 408, Sedan, AutoFrance
The new Peugeot 408 has a lot of room and packs some 'vroom' too. Can it take the game to the Germans and the Japanese though?
Don't Just Speed, Feed!
IN Volkswagen Group Singapore, Volkswagen, VW, TDI, DSG, Diesel, CEVS
To Malacca and back. Over two days. With less than a tank of diesel. We join Volkswagen on an epic trip up north to sample good food and great cars.
Luxury Hatch On Stilts | Audi Q5 3.0 TFSI
Audi bid's their naturally aspirated 3.2 V6 farewell, and the updated Q5 SUV impresses with a good drive thanks to a new 3-litre power-plant pushing 272 bhp and a hefty 400 Nm.
MINI In Name Only | MINI John Cooper Works Hatch
In the past, if you wanted the hottest MINI, you could only get it with three pedals. Now the John Cooper Works range comes paired with an autobox that works (pardon the pun) surprisingly well!
Seventh Heaven? | BMW ActiveHybrid 7
IN BMW, 7 Series, Performance Motors, Hybrid, Active Hybrid, 740i
BMW's answer to Lexus' LS600hL is the ActiveHybrid 7, a large premium hybrid that offers both luxury and performance. From our time with the car, it seems to have succeeded in fulfilling both claims.
Perfect Date | Audi S5 Coupe 3.0T
The Audi S5 got a refresh recently, we take one out on a date and remember why this is one of our favorite Audis.
Screaming Tangerine | Ford Focus ST
IN Ford, Focus, ST, 2012 Ford Focus, Regent Motors, Turbo, 2.0
Having owned the previous ST (2.5) before, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the new ST. Despite being a very different machine, Ford has indeed brought back the magic!
Tick One | Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4 TSI
Who would have thought? A 1.4-litre engine in a chunky sport utility vehicle (SUV)! That has got to be a really anemic drive for sure? Well, don't knock it till you've tried it, is all we can say.
BMW 7 Series In Borobudur
IN BMW, 730d, 7 Series, Performance Motors
We drive the tranquil BMW 7 Series around the equally serene town of Magelang, Central Java, where the 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist Temple Borobudur resides in.
Rock of Ages | Volkswagen Golf 7 Drive
IN Volkswagen Group Singapore, Volkswagen, VW, Golf, 1.4 TSI, TDI, DSG, Mk 7, 7, 2.0 TDI
The seventh-generation Golf is out, and the first batch of cars will roll out of the factory in November. We get behind the wheel of the class-leading model to find out if it the new one still rocks.
The Angry Car | Volkswagen CrossPolo 1.2 TSI
IN Volkswagen, Polo, CrossPolo, 1.2 TSI
Launched at a time of high COEs, the trendy and well-packaged Volkswagen CrossPolo misses out on being found in more homes. You can see why it's not too happy about that.
