      Toyota Yaris Cross 1.5S Review: So… Why Actually Buy This?

      So… why buy the Yaris Cross over so many compelling rivals, including its cheaper clone?  When it comes to writing reviews, a good place to start is often to focus on a rough central question that needs answering. And rather unfortunately for this Yaris Cross tested here, the damning premise pretty much revolved around the theme of: why buy this at all? Such is largely because, for the (near-as-damn-it) RM100,000 Toyota is currently asking for this petrol version, there is certainly no shortage of other compelling options in the market that give buyers reason to ask: why buy this and…

      Why The Isuzu D-MAX Could Be the Ultimate Workhorse

      For Malaysian businesses that depend on a pick-up truck every day, practicality matters just as much as performance. Isuzu Malaysia has responded to that demand with a new addition to its D-MAX range that combines a traditional single-cab workhorse layout with something previously unavailable in Malaysia — an automatic transmission paired with 4X4 capability. Earlier this year, Isuzu Malaysia refreshed its popular D-MAX range with a new powertrain. The new D-MAX introduces an all-new 2.2 litre turbo diesel 4-cylinder engine matched to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. But arguably the more interesting development is the D-MAX 2.2L TD Single Cab Auto.…
