Having driven various iterations of Elises and Exiges over the last 25 years or so, there was never any doubt about how wonderfully pure the driving experience was. However, it always seemed to be at the expense of comfort, practicality, convenience, and, crucially, quality. Every time I got into a Lotus, I loved how they drove, but always wished that they were just that bit easier to live with, or had air-conditioning that worked. Also, a few other creature comforts like Apple CarPlay and cup holders, for example, would be nice.

Supercars, in general, have made great strides in terms of usability over the past few decades. Rewind time to before I was born, and most supercar owners were stuck suffering with temperamental machines that were often broken down by the side of the road and were all but unusable in adverse weather. These days, however, supercars are practically as usable as your run-of-the-mill Prius; you'd be pretty much fine toddling down to the shops and picking up groceries in a McLaren or Ferrari as you would in a Toyota.

When you think of Singaporeans going to Johor Bahru (JB), one might imagine indulging in the great food offerings there or unwinding with a massage.

Category A COE cars are all the rage these days in Singapore. With soaring petrol prices and astronomical COE premiums, these wallet-friendly city runabouts are just the sort of thing a budget-conscious buyer wants - practical, fuel-efficient, and versatile. For those of you reading outside of Singapore, here’s how we classify Cat A vehicles being registered here: - Non-fully electric cars with engines up to 1,600cc and Maximum Power Output up to 97kW (130bhp). - Fully electric cars with Maximum Power Output of up to 110kW (147bhp). However, as we can see from the figures above, in traditional cases owning a Cat A vehicle means sacrificing performance and oftentimes driving fun in exchange for a cheaper set of wheels. But, with the advent and advancement in new engine technology alongside innovations like electrical assistance, engine capacity is no longer the defacto indicator of performance.
