The Perfect Urban Sedan | Honda City RS

There’s never been a better time to consider the all-new Honda City; here are five excellent reasons why.


Style and substance That’s not all. All that vroom and room is packaged in a dashing form. Every Porsche SUV has a commanding road presence. With a wide stance and design elements from the front to the rear fenders that echo the 911, there is no mistaking the profile of a Porsche SUV.

Five reasons why a Porsche SUV is the perfect luxury car to own

IN Porsche, Singapore, SUV, Cayenne, Macan, Stuttgart Auto, Eurokars

To say that Porsche created a class of its own in the SUV world is an understatement. Since the launch of the Porsche Cayenne in 2003, car makers everywhere have been trying to play catch-up!


The official figures are 181 bhp, 270 Nm of torque and a 0-100 km/h timing of 7.3 seconds. But in reality, the car feels a lot more lively than the numbers suggest. But the beauty of it all is that the fine handling characteristics of the MINI have been retained and the little electrified hatch is still a fun runabout to pilot. Taking it around a series of bends feels like you're driving an electric go-kart (with music and air-con!).

5 things BMW surprised us with the base 318i

Is the base 3 Series good enough? You bet! We found five features that we didn't expect to see in the 318i sedan.


It started with the Cupra Leon, then now the Cupra Ateca SUV we see here and soon, the Cupra Formentor Coupe SUV - which will only (likely) be sold as a Cupra.

It might not be a common choice, but ignore this performance SUV at your own risk!


It requires skill and gracefulness to be executed perfectly, without picking up a sprained back or leg cramp.

Power Unedited | Lotus Exige Sport 350 (M)

Learn to live with it, and you'll be rewarded with adrenalin-packed drives that only a Lotus can give you.


Maybe it’s the fact that you turn in on and there is no audible sound that tells you it’s started. That silence is evident throughout the drive and there is no corresponding increase in audible intensity even if you’re speeding past other road users at high speed. Or perhaps it’s the clinical interior that’s full of buttons and touchscreens, much like a smart phone, that really removes the whole ‘car’ experience.

Audi’s first all-electric car to be offered here in Singapore is one of the easiest cars to get acquainted with driving an electric car.


The Ponte Vasco Da Gama. It is the second-longest bridge in Europe, spanning more than 17 km in length, the bridge connects Lisbon with Montijo, where we will be crossing from in our BMW X1 xDrive25d.

Sticking to their even model numbers for this series, they've just launched the 2 Series Gran Coupe, or what I’d like to call the Baby Grand. This latest model is the first of its kind and is effectively the entry-level four-door coupe (and sedan) for the brand.

The piano is a beautiful musical instrument. It requires you to play both chords and melody at the same time, master that, and you'll able to create music in many various genres.


Perhaps the flattened-Beetle look is getting a bit passé. Maybe it hasn't fully shaken off its hairdressers' car image. Whatever it is, if you're a sports car fan and love that smooth efficient power that Audis deliver, then the TT should be on your list.

Did anyone really wonder what a Porsche 911 would look like with four doors 10 years ago? Maybe. But I'm sure even the most creative of minds would have shuddered at the thought of that. Yet, here we are in a time where Panameras are a common sight in the world of luxury sedans.

The number five is commonly known as humanity’s number. Some say it is the number of freedom, mobility, harmony and change. Aptly, MINI introduces a squad of five in 2020, all designed to appeal to your five senses of touch, hearing, sight, smell and all in good taste! We anticipate an electrifying 2020!

Positioning itself at the pinnacle of the A6 family with distinct RS features, the new Audi RS 6 Avant is a high-performance station wagon that prophesies performance and practical everyday applications. Can this super-estate give the Mercedes-AMG E63 S a run for the money? We wait in eager anticipation for this model to make its debut, hopefully, end-2020. Can’t resist the pun but we are optimistic that the Audi RS 6 Avant will be an ‘Avant’age in this Avant age.

The steady electrification of the Audi product line-up implies a sizeable reduction in CO2 emissions from cars’ exhaust systems. While this environmental win is by no means exhaustive (pun intended), one has to look further up the supply chain and upstream production processes to account for the environmental benefits/drawbacks in its entirety.

But let’s assess the way it looks first. It has strong hints of the model (991) it replaces, although subtle changes to the bumper and (add-on) the LED matrix headlamps help to refresh the front-end a bit. The main changes are at the rear though.

So the Ranger is the next best thing. It is indeed a cool looking truck. In stock form, it already has the makings of a mean machine. Although bigger wheels and a wide fender kit will take that up a notch pretty nicely, much like the Raptor variant.

Possibly one of the most rugged cars you can register under your name (yup, you won't need to have your own company to own this truck). But is it worth the money?
