Before you sell your car, there are some common mistakes that you need to take note as they have potential to affect your car\u2019s value or overall pricing at the end. Making sure that you do not make these mistakes will ensure a good selling experience for you and your vehicle.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nNot Knowing Your Car\u2019s Value\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: \nSteve Wilk Insurance Agency\n\n\n\n\n\n    Whenever you intend to trade your old car or sell it privately, you should have a rough estimate of your car\u2019s value. This is important as you would not want to lose money over your car and you should get the best price for your car according to its worth. For starters, you could go over the car dealers and get a general idea of the car\u2019s current market value. If that doesn\u2019t work, you could also visit car listing websites that gives you a rough estimation of the current market value of your car.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nForgetting Service Records\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: \nThe Nrma\n\n\n\n\n\n    Keeping up with scheduled maintenance is very important as it safeguards the value of your vehicle. Having the service records will come handy, as you can show potential buyers the service receipts for proof. Maintenance records also help to reassure a potential buyer of the car\u2019s conditions of past repairs. Keep your maintenance records safe and make sure that they are organized and up-to-date.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nNot Understanding the Specs of the Car\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    If you intend to sell your car, the first thing you need to know is the specifications and details of your car. You have to know what transmission it uses, engine power or capacity. This will allow you to explain it to potential buyers when they ask about any modifications previously. You certainly do not want to make simple mistakes like not knowing your car\u2019s engine capacity and yielding a lower value due to that.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nLack of Basic Cleaning\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Another huge psychological factor is the cleanliness of a vehicle that you are selling. Having a clean car, and an equally clean interior, can impact how much money someone is willing to pay for it.For many of us, cleaning a car and taking care of it may seem like a hassle. However, if you are thinking of selling your car privately or trading it off, make sure you clean the car thoroughly.\u00a0 Make sure the car you sell is clean and in good condition, as a dirty car is a message to prospective buyers that they are buying something old or unreliable.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nBasic Tips to Clean The Inside Of Your Car\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nMechanical Repairs or Upgrades to Increase Your Car\u2019s Value\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Before trading in your car, there are few things you have to take note. A car is not like a house. Adding accessories and forking out money for upgrades will hardly increase the value of a car just the way it would increase a house's value. Things like sunroofs, leather seats have no real bearing on the resale value. Significant repairs, or any bodywork upgrades to your car should be avoided at all costs, if you are planning to sell the car. If you are listing your car online, do disclose the problems in the advertising. This would give buyers a close understanding of the car\u2019s problem and prevent any huge misevaluation of the vehicle from what you're expecting.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nNot Planning Your Road Tax or Insurance Refund \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: ItzEazy\n\n\n\n\n\n    It is important to plan your road tax, insurance disposal time wisely. You will need to refund your road tax and cancel your insurance policy before transferring the ownership name of the car. After you inform your current vehicle insurer that you will be selling your car, do get an endorsement letter from the insurance company stating the amount of NCD (Non-Claim Discount) you still have. Keeping this document will be important for the purchase of your next vehicle when you purchase insurance for it as you will need to submit this document hand in hand.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nClearing Off Your Debt\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The process of settling car payment debts is pretty straightforward. In some cases, you can even negotiate for a settlement of your car debt with your lender. As a borrower, you should keep in mind that if a debt is left unsettled, it will have massive dent on your credit scores. Also, to clear the debt, remember that you don\u2019t have to go to the home branch to pay off the settlement unless the original car registration card is there. If you have the car registration document with you, you can simply head to any branch with auto finance department to clear off the debt.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nYielding to a Hard Sell\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Once we decide to sell our car to a used car dealer or showroom, we are bound to encounter a common occurrence \u2013 hard sell tactics. Most salespeople are trained to present only the good parts, hide the negative when conducting a sale. We must be wary of these tactics as they might take advantage of our lack of attentiveness or knowledge of the car industry. Always survey around before deciding where to sell your car, and remember that you always have the final say in the dealings, and when to say no and just walk away.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nSetting the price too high or too low\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: \nGumtree South Africa\n\n\n\n\n\n    If you opt to sell your car in an open market, it can amass a higher value than selling to third party dealer or a trade-in. It is important to get your car valued properly. Who doesn\u2019t want to get a high price for your car? It is however important for us to keep our price expectations reasonable. Too high a price might deter your potential buyers and pricing it too low can make you lose money. You can survey the market price by going to dealers or checking the value on online car websites.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nBeing Na\u00efve and Not Wary of Frauds\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: \nBillofSaleWizard.com\n\n\n\n\n\n    We do not know the background of the potential online buyers that contacts you. There are few important pointers to remember when dealing with them, to avoid frauds or scams. It is advisable to always meet in a public location for test drives, also make sure to ask for the driver\u2019s license of the potential buyer. Never part with your car during test drives, do so only after receiving payment.

Close-up of the front of an SUV car with the number 2023. Car New Year's card. The concept of the new year and Christmas in the automotive field.", "Although Malaysia is still recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic, \ndemand in the automotive industry is stronger than ever, especially for the used car segment\n. As 2022 comes to an end, various \nnews outlets and analysts project that this positive trend will continue in 2023\n.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re planning to buy a used car in 2023, here are some trends that you should look out for before you make your purchase.\n\n\nNew Car Supply Slowly Recovers While Used Car Price Stabilizes\n\n\nAfter Covid-19 restrictions were considerably loosened in the beginning of 2022, \nthere was a significant supply shortage of new cars in Malaysia\n that resulted in high prices for both new and used cars, as the demand for cars skyrocketed.\n\n\nBased on \nthis article by Mekanika\n, they mentioned that used car dealers had to increase the price for used cars in 2022 because stocks were controlled by some sort of \u2018middlemen\u2019. This can be seen in the following example \u2013 a used 2020 Toyota Vios J was sold at RM67,000 last year, while a new car of the same model was offered at RM78,000.\n\n\n\n\nAs we move forward to 2023, \nnew vehicle production is expected to accelerate\n in order to meet the huge backlog of orders from customers. But the new car supply issue caused by chip and component shortages is still expected to be around, albeit on a smaller scale. This will also lead to further stabilization of used car prices in 2023.\n\n\nHigher Interest Rate as Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) Increases\n\n\nIn 2022, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) increased the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) four times by 25 basis points each, resulting in a 2.75% OPR rate in November 2022. This means that those who have loans such as housing, car, and personal loans with floating interest rates from banks have experienced an increase in their monthly payment costs for four times.\n\n\n\n\nThere are comments from several economists that stated \nBNM will continue to increase the OPR in 2023\n, and it is expected to peak at 3.25%. Buying a new car next year might be expensive since interest rates are expected to rise, so used cars are expected to be the more cost-effective choice for consumers.\n\n\nThe Rise of Used Electric Vehicle (EV)\u00a0\n\n\nEarlier this month, Dato\u2019 Zailani Hj Hashim, the Director General of JPJ, mentioned that \nthere are more than 10,000 EVs that are currently registered with JPJ in Malaysia\n and the number is expected to increase further with the arrival of popular EV-centric brands in Malaysia such as \nBYD\n and \nOra\n.\n\n\n\n\nOn top of that, the government also recently announced that they are looking into ways to bring in more affordable EVs under RM100,000 in Malaysia to further encourage EV adoption among the masses. As more people continue to adopt EVs, there will be an increase in the number of used EVs in the market.\u00a0\n\n\nSedan & Hatchback Will Continue to Be a Popular Choice Next Year\n\n\nDid you know that in 2022, more than 70 percent of CARSOME\u2019s total delivery consists of hatchbacks and sedans? We expect that this trend will continue to be popular in 2023, for the following reasons.\n\n\nThese car types are popular among Malaysians since they\u2019re affordable, easy to maintain and their fuel efficiency is superb \u2013 that makes them a great choice for first time car owners, young professionals, and also for those living in urban areas.\n\n\n\n\nTo top it off, looking at the current economic condition, it makes sense for this trend to continue in 2023 as we are expected to face various economic challenges with the expected increase for OPR and also the uncertainty of our economy.\n\n\nSome popular hatchbacks in Malaysia include the \nPerodua Myvi\n, \nHonda Jazz\n, and the \nPerodua Axia\n. The popular sedans in Malaysia are the \nProton Saga\n, \nPerodua Bezza\n, and the \nHonda City\n.\n\n\nOverall, experts agree that the used car segment in Malaysia will continue to experience positive growth in 2023, amidst rising interest rates for car loans and an unstable economic situation.\n\n\nOf course, there may be positive scenarios in 2023 that will bring even more good news for the automotive industry. But until then, we\u2019d suggest you to hold on to your steering wheels and fasten your seatbelts as you cruise into 2023.\n\n\nHappy holiday and happy new year!\n\n", "Haziq Asyraf\nA self-proclaimed foodie and gamer whose passion for food and games has recently extended to cars.", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Umumnya, masa terbaik untuk jual, beli atau \ntrade in\n kereta lama anda adalah bergantung pada faktor yang berbeza. Dalam artikel ini, CARSOME berkongsi soalan-soalan yang sering ditanyakan oleh pemilik kereta mengenai waktu terbaik untuk jual, beli atau \ntrade in\n kereta lama anda.\n\n\nAdakah Saya Patut Jual, Beli atau \nTrade In\n Kereta Lama Saya?\n\n\nJika anda masih tertanya-tanya masa yang sesuai untuk jual atau \ntrade in\n kereta lama anda, usia dan keadaan semasa kereta adalah antara faktor yang perlu dipertimbangkan. Berdasarkan pendapat pakar, anda disarankan untuk jual kereta lama anda selepas \nlima tahun usia kereta\n anda. Ini kerana, semakin tinggi usia kereta anda, semakin rendah nilai semasa kereta anda dalam pasaran. Namun begitu, ia sudah semestinya bergantung pada situasi, faktor kewangan dan matlamat pemilikan anda.\n\n\nA) Jika Anda Tidak Ingin Terikat dengan Komitmen Bulanan\n\n\nSelain faktor memori bersama kenderaan, salah satu sebab pemilik kereta enggan menjual kereta lama adalah disebabkan pemilik tidak mahu terikat dengan tempoh komitmen yang panjang. Jika kereta lama anda masih lagi berada dalam keadaan baik dan tidak selalu meragam, anda mungkin perlu mempertimbangkan semua pilihan anda untuk menjual kereta lama anda.\n\n\nNamun begitu, perlu diingat, semakin tinggi bacaan\n mileage\n kereta anda, semakin tinggi risiko kerosakan dan kos pembaikan yang perlu ditanggung. Meskipun anda tidak bercadang untuk menjual kereta anda buat masa ini, anda disarankan untuk merancang perbelanjaan dan melakukan simpanan. Wang simpanan yang disimpan ini boleh digunakan sebagai bayaran pendahuluan sekiranya anda membuat keputusan untuk membeli kereta baharu keluaran terkini atau \nkereta terpakai\n pada masa hadapan.\n\n\nSekiranya anda mempertimbangkan untuk terus memandu kereta lama anda sementara mengumpulkan wang untuk bayaran pendahuluan, rujuk bengkel yang boleh dipercayai untuk mengenal pasti risiko kerosakan yang mungkin berlaku. Berbekalkan pengetahuan ini, anda dapat melakukan persediaan yang sewajarnya untuk mengelakkan anda perlu mengeluarkan kos belanja yang lebih besar.\n\n\nB) Jika Kos Penyelenggaraan Lebih Mahal Berbanding Nilai Semasa Kereta\n\n\nJika anda meluangkan lebih banyak masa dan tenaga di bengkel berbanding bersama keluarga, ini mungkin petanda yang sesuai untuk menjual kereta lama anda. Malah, jika kos \npenyelenggaraan\n lebih tinggi berbanding nilai semasa kereta anda, anda mungkin boleh mempertimbangkan untuk menjual kereta lama anda:\n\n\n1. Tentukan Nilai Semasa Kereta\n\n\nKetahui nilai semasa kereta anda dengan menjalani pemeriksaan kereta secara percuma di CARSOME. Kereta yang ingin dijual di CARSOME akan melalui 175 titik pemeriksaan untuk penilaian harga jualan semula berdasarkan keadaan semasa kereta. Selain itu, terdapat juga \nplatform jual beli kereta terpakai dalam talian\n yang turut menyediakan kalkulator pengiraan anggaran nilai semasa kereta untuk memudahkan pengguna. Pengguna hanya perlu memasukkan maklumat mengenai jenis kenderaan (tahun, buatan, model, \nmileage\n atau perbatuan, keadaan kereta). Kemudian, sistem akan memaparkan purata harga kenderaan yang serupa yang dijual di pasaran.\n\n\n2. Ketahui Kos Penyelenggaraan Jika Kereta Tidak Dijual\n\n\nKenal pasti kos yang akan ditanggung jika kereta lama anda disimpan dan tidak dijual.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdakah kereta saya memerlukan apa-apa pembaikan utama atau \nmajor service\n yang perlu dilakukan dalam masa terdekat?\n\n\nKegagalan menggantikan mana-mana komponen ini akan menjejaskan prestasi kereta?\n\n\nAdakah terdapat pembaikan lain yang perlu ditukar dalam masa terdekat/enam bulan akan datang?\n\n\nAdakah penyelenggaraan lain yang perlu dilakukan seperti penggantian tayar, brek, enjin dan sebagainya?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Lakukan Pertimbangan Sewajarnya\n\n\nJika kos penyelenggaraan kereta anda lebih tinggi daripada nilai semasa kereta, anda mungkin boleh mempertimbangkan untuk mendapatkan kereta baharu. Duit yang sepatutnya dibelanjakan untuk membaiki kereta lama anda boleh digunakan untuk membayar wang pendahuluan. Namun begitu, ia semestinya bergantung pada keperluan, komitmen semasa dan kepentingan anda. Buat pertimbangan sewajarnya untuk mengelakkan anda menyesali keputusan yang dibuat.\n\n\nC) Jika Faktor Keselamatan Menjadi Persoalan\n\n\nSama ada anda memandu kereta anda berkeseorangan atau bersama keluarga, perkara pertama yang perlu diberi perhatian semestinya faktor keselamatan. Bergantung pada usia kereta anda, ciri-ciri keselamatan terkini seperti beg udara, kamera keselamatan, kawalan kestabilan elektronik, sistem brek dan \nciri-ciri keselamatan\n yang lain mungkin tidak tersedia.\n\n\nPelan Jana Semula Ekonomi Negara (\nPenjana\n) yang diumumkan oleh Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin adalah pelan untuk membantu perniagaan yang terjejas akibat wabak pandemik Covid-19. Inisiatif Penjana yang diumukan kerajaan juga turut mendapat respons positif daripada pemain industri automotif negara. Melalui pelan pemulihan ini, semua kenderaan penumpang pemasangan tempatan (CKD) akan dikecualikan daripada cukai jualan sepenuhnya. Manakala, pengecualian cukai sebanyak 50 peratus bagi kereta penumpang yang diimport (CBU).\n\n\n\n\nMasa Terbaik Jual, Beli atau \nTrade In\n Kereta\n\n\nPengecualian cukai jualan untuk kereta baharu ini sekali gus menggalakkan dan merancakkan jualan kereta baharu. Malah, penyesuaian harga kereta baharu berdasarkan pengumuman ini juga telah memacu minat terhadap jual beli kereta terpakai. Berdasarkan data daripada \nCARSOME Insights 2020\n, 79% daripada pemilik kereta memilih untuk menjual kereta mereka selepas enam hingga lapan tahun. Pengguna yang menjual kereta mereka selepas enam hingga lapan tahun menunjukkan peningkatan iaitu sebanyak 35% berbanding \nCARSOME Insights 2019. \nManakala, 15% pemilik kereta memilih untuk menjual kereta selepas sembilan hingga 11 tahun dan 6% selepas tiga hingga lima tahun.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSama ada anda ingin membeli kereta baharu atau menjual kereta terpakai, ia bergantung pada susut nilai atau nilai pasaran semasa kereta anda. Dalam artikel ini juga, CARSOME akan kongsikan masa yang terbaik untuk anda \nmenjual kereta lama\n dan\n membeli kereta terpakai\n idaman anda berdasarkan data daripada \nCARSOME Insights 2019.\n\n\n\n\nData daripada CARSOME Insights 2019 mendapati tiga perempat atau 76% daripada pemilik kereta akan menjual kereta mereka selepas enam tahun. Daripada kesemua kereta yang dijual kepada CARSOME, 44% kereta berusia antara enam hingga lapan tahun dan merupakan purata usia kereta yang paling popular dijual kepada CARSOME. Ia diikuti dengan 24% pemilik kereta memilih untuk menjual kereta selepas tiga hingga lima tahun dan 32% selepas sembilan hingga 12 tahun.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nGraf interaktif di atas menunjukkan nilai tahun-ke-tahun untuk \nPerodua Myvi\n, \nProton Saga\n, \nToyota Vios\n dan \nHonda City\n yang dijual kepada Carsome pada tahun 2019. Arahkan titik untuk melihat nilainya.\n\n\nNilai Kekalan 10 Tahun Untuk Kereta Popular 2019\n\n\nBerdasarkan statistik CARSOME, empat model kereta paling popular di Malaysia \u2013 \nPerodua Myvi\n, \nProton Saga\n, \nToyota Vios\n dan \nHonda City\n. Data menunjukkan keempat-empat model kereta ini susut nilai sebanyak 20% hingga 30% pada tahun kedua. Untuk Perodua Myvi, susut nilai bagi model ini tidak setinggi \nProton Saga\n selepas tahun keempat. \nData CARSOME juga menunjukkan hubungan antara kereta-kereta popular ini dengan usia purata kereta paling popular yang dijual pada usia enam tahun ke atas. Selain \nProton Saga\n, kesemua kereta masih mempunyai lebih daripada 50% nilai pasaran kereta pada tahun keenam.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nStatistik \nCARSOME Insights 2019\n menunjukkan tempoh terbaik untuk menjual kereta terpakai adalah antara dua hingga tiga tahun untuk \nPerodua Myvi\n, \nProton Saga\n, \nToyota Vios\n atau \nHonda City\n.\n\n\nPada tempoh ini, susut nilai adalah sekitar 21-25% untuk \nHonda City\n dan \nToyota Vios\n dan 22-35% untuk \nPerodua Myvi\n dan \nProton Saga\n. Jika diperhatikan, nilai \nProton Saga\n menyusut 14% lagi pada tahun keempat dan mengekalkan nilai penjualan semula sebanyak 57% sahaja dari harga pembelian asalnya.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n*Maklumat dan statistik yang dipaparkan adalah anggaran purata berdasarkan pangkalan data kereta terpakai CARSOME. Harga kenderaan dan nilai jualan semula bergantung pada jenama, model, keadaan kenderaan dan faktor-faktor lain.\n\n\nTanda-tanda Lain untuk Jual, Beli atau \nTrade In\n Kereta Lama Anda\n\n\nAnda juga boleh mempertimbangkan faktor-faktor ini untuk membantu anda membuat keputusan sebelum jual, beli atau \ntrade in\n kereta lama anda:\n\n\ni. Keperluan Anda Berubah\n\n\nFasa baharu kehidupan seperti perkahwinan, kelahiran anak pertama atau mendapat tawaran pekerjaan baharu mungkin mendorong anda untuk menjual kereta lama anda. Dalam situasi sebegini, anda mungkin memerlukan kereta yang lebih selesa, selamat, \njimat bahan api, \nsistem keselamatan lebih baik dan sebagainya.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nTanda-Tanda Sudah Tiba Masanya Untuk Menjual Atau Menukar Kereta Anda\n\n\nii. Alat Ganti Mahal atau Sukar Diperoleh\n\n\nDalam sesetengah situasi, alat ganti untuk kereta lama biasanya sukar untuk diperoleh. Ini kerana, apabila sesebuah pengeluar kenderaan mengeluarkan model kereta baharu, biasanya mereka akan mula menghentikan alat ganti dan komponen kereta bagi model-model lama. Ia secara tidak langsung menyebabkan \nalat ganti menjadi lebih mahal\n dalam pasaran.\n\n\niii. Kereta Anda Tidak Lagi Selamat\n\n\nJika anda berasa tidak tenteram sepanjang perjalanan kerana risau kereta anda akan meragam, usah berkira-kira lagi untuk menukar kereta anda. Jika kereta anda tidak lagi berasa selamat untuk dinaiki, ia mungkin petanda untuk anda mendapatkan kereta baharu.\n\n\niv. Faktor Ekonomi\n\n\nKos bahan api yang meningkat secara tidak langsung akan meningkatkan perbelanjaan bulanan anda. Jika kereta anda menelan belanja yang besar untuk kos petrol setiap bulan, jual kereta anda untuk menjimatkan belanja bulanan anda. Malah, anda juga boleh mengambil peluang ini untuk mendapatkan kereta baharu atau \nkereta terpakai jimat bahan api\n seperti \nPerodua Myvi\n atau \nPerodua Bezza\n. Selain itu, ambil kira trend permintaan pengguna untuk mengetahui waktu yang sesuai dan tepat untuk jual kereta lama anda.\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda sedang mempertimbangkan untuk\u00a0\nmenjual kereta lama\n\u00a0dan berminat untuk mendapatkan\u00a0\nkereta terpakai baharu\n, layari laman web CARSOME untuk info lanjut.

The various parallel driven hybrid vehicles on the market today have its systems working behind the scenes (where the combination of a combustion engine and electric motor working in synergy to decide on the requirements for application of power) to deliver the best possible fuel economy and power for the driver.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSo having to spend less at the pump is certainly on everyone\u2019s checklist for a new car, and with a growing conscience on the environment, the combined carbon footprint also plays a role. How then, does hybrid technology take its next step from the familiar passive experience, to a more active role? It takes itself in the form of Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV), and in this case, the BMW 330e.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nExterior\n\n\n\n\nThe 330e on the outside is essentially the same as an F30 LCI 3 Series \u2013 distinguishable from the redesigned LED head and tail lamps. Visual differences of the 330e from the standard 3 Series is its e-drive badges on the C-pillars of the car, and the inclusion of an EV charging connector on the car\u2019s front left fender.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nInterior\n\n\n\n\nOn the inside, the F30 3 Series dashboard and steering wheel remains unchanged from the originally launched F30 in 2012 save for the newer iDrive controller with touch input recognition. On board features for the 330e extends to include a heads-up display, park assist, the brand\u2019s ConnectedDrive with Concierge Service and an eDrive button below the gear shifter. We felt that the steering wheel design is a little dated for a car such as this, but then again, it isn\u2019t something that the 330e M Sport variant at RM258,800 can\u2019t fix.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nLifestyle\n\n\n\n\nAs owners of any BMW i or eDrive vehicles like the 330e, customers are offered the brand\u2019s ChargeNow service that is part of the BMW 360\u02da Electric programme. The ChargeNow service provides access to any ChargEV station in Malaysia that is accessible through a ChargEV card. BMW\u2019s partnership with GreenTech Malaysia will see 300 stations up by the end of 2017. What most potential buyers for the 330e and other PHEV\u2019s would probably ask is \u2013 would there be a change in lifestyle when it comes to recharging the vehicle? Yes, slightly. But not one that isn\u2019t beneficial.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe best part of driving the 330e is the realisation that you could head to the office and back or for a nearby errand without using a drop of fuel. Then again, achieving the full 29km range on a full charge depends on many factors including speed and weather. Based on our test, despite having a 50% charge remaining, parking the 330e in the sun for a couple of hours depleted the battery to 15% \u2013 an indicator that PHEV owners are highly recommended to park their cars in the shade for improved lifespan and range.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nA blue glow on the charging port indicates a flowing charge. Once its green, you\u2019re good to go!\n\n\nHow do you charge? Either at home with a 3-pin socket, or designated ChargEV parking spots in the country. Just plug in the required cable (Type 2 Mennekes, sold separately) on both ends, tap the ChargEV card to begin charge, and it\u2019ll require about three hours for a 100 per cent charge (over four hours with a 3-pin).\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBMW\n\n\n330e\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPower\n\n\n184 hp (combustion engine),\u00a0\n\n\n87 hp (electric motor),\n\n248 hp (combined)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTorque\n\n\n290Nm at 1,350 to 4,250 rpm (combustion engine),\n\n250Nm at 0 to 2,500 rpm (electric motor),\n\n420Nm at 0 to 2,500 rpm (combined)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEngine Capacity\n\n\n2.0-litre 4-cyl twin-scroll turbo\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTransmission\n\n\n8-Speed Automatic with Steptronic\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAcceleration 0-100km/h\n\n\n6.1-seconds\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCombined litre per 100km\n\n\n2.1\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCO2 Emissions\n\n\n49 g/km\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice\n\n\nRM 248,800\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDriving Impression\n\n\n\n\nLike an EV, the 330e is silent when you push the start button. The only indication it\u2019s switched on is the rev counter needle that moves from Off to Ready. Pulling away from a parked position is gracefully silent, and with gradual footing kicks in the combustion engine for more power when needed. What goes unnoticed during everyday drives is the fact that the transitions from electric and combustion engine remains seamless, save for creeping during traffic that activates the auto start-stop function. Due to the 330e\u2019s EV nature, unfortunately there isn\u2019t an option to bypass this.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHow does it drive? With the combination of motors, there\u2019s certainly more power and for better reason too. BMW\u2019s four driving modes of Eco Pro, Comfort, Sport and Sport+ joins the eDrive button to provide combined driving styles in the most frugal way possible \u2013 even on Auto eDrive mode. And because the electric motor is positioned in front of the eight-speed Steptronic transmission, the ratios can also be used in Max eDrive mode.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nVerdict\n\n\n\n\nWe certainly think that PHEV\u2019s are the next step in-between a truly emissions free \u2018electric vehicle\u2019 future. And with the 330e, CO2 emissions are a low 49g/km compared to the 330i\u2019s 151g/km rating. That\u2019s two-thirds better in emissions for a similarly powered output.\n\n\nBut numbers are just numbers, and with the growing number of PHEV\u2019s for the local market, we are happy that automakers are taking the next step to bring vehicles like these to our shores and initiating a growing infrastructure of charging stations nationwide. It\u2019s never been a better time to buy a PHEV to strive for that carbon neutral status.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAlso \nclick here\n to check out an infographic on the history of the BMW 5 Series!\n\n", "Tags\nCars\nDriving\nLifestyle\nReviews", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

In this article, we shall look at the facelifted \n5 Series \nsince it has several improvements over the pre-facelift model which make it a better option.\u00a0\n\n\nThree years later, the \nF10 5 Series LCI \nwas given an \nupdate\n in early-2016 with more standard kits at a significant price reduction thanks to the \nEEV (Energy Efficient Vehicles) incentives\n. Initially, only the \nBMW 528i LCI\n received the \nM Sport \ntrim but after the update both the \nBMW 520d LCI \nand \nBMW 520i LCI \nreceived it too.\u00a0\n\n\nM Sport \nrefers to a trim level equipped with the M Sport styling kit and several handling upgrades. These make your \nBMW \nlook like a rip-snorting \nM \nmodel\n but with the most economical engines in the range. Besides coming with stunning, sporty aesthetics, the \nM Sport\n model also has lower running costs than a proper \nBMW M5\n such as \nroad tax renewal\n, thanks to it having a 2.0-liter versus a 4.4-liter engine, with the latter having a much higher road tax cost.\n\n\nBrief Recap on Prices\n\n\nBMW 5 Series (F10) LCI \npre\n-update:\n\n\n\n\nBMW 520d LCI: \nRM354,800\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBMW 520i LCI: \nRM368,800\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBMW 528i M Sport LCI: \nRM419,800\n\n\n\n\nBMW 5 Series (F10) LCI \npost\n-update:\n\n\n\n\nBMW 520d M Sport LCI: \nRM317,800\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBMW 520i M Sport LCI: \nRM329,800\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBMW 528i M Sport LCI: \nRM378,800\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBMW 520i M Sport LCI (Post-update)\n\n\n\n\nBMW 520i LCI (Pre-update)\n\n\nQuick Run-down on the BMW 5 Series (F10) Specs\n\n\nThe \nF10 BMW 5 Series LCI \ncame with \ntwo engines\n, a petrol \n2.0-liter turbocharged engine\n (codenamed \nN20\n) in two different power outputs and a \ndiesel 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine\n (codenamed \nB47 \n\u2013 which replaced the old \nN47\n in September 2014, so this is something to take note of). All models were paired to a \nZF eight-speed transmission\n and power is delivered through the rear wheels.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModel\n\n\nPower Output\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBMW 520d LCI / 520d M Sport LCI\n\n\n190 HP\n,\n 400 Nm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBMW 520i LCI / 520i M Sport LCI\n\n\n184 HP\n, \n270 Nm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBMW 528i M Sport LCI\n\n\n245 HP\n, \n350 Nm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs standard, all \nF10 5 Series LCI \ncame with \nadaptive LED headlights\n and \nLED fog lamps\n for brighter and clearer visibility of where you are heading. For the convenience of the driver, it gets \nautomatic headlights\n, \nautomatic rain sensing wipers\n, \nelectronic parking brake with auto hold function\n (this maintains the car in stationary without you stepping on the brakes \u2013 a lifesaver during traffic jams) and \nbrake energy regeneration\n which helps charge the car\u2019s battery when you brake. Besides that, it gets a tire pressure monitor system, engine oil level, coolant level, and battery level monitoring sensors.\u00a0\n\n\nOn the inside, you get a \nfull LCD/digital instrument cluster \nwhere you can change the look of the speedometer based on the driving modes you select.\n\n\n\n\nLCD Instrument Cluster (Comfort Mode)\n\n\n\n\nLCD Instrument Cluster showing digital dials (Sports+ Mode)\n\n\nMoreover, after the update all models also received the \nM Sport steering wheel with paddle shifters\n and \nfront\n \nsports seats\n to make the car feel more engaging and comfortable to drive at speed.\n\n\n\n\nCockpit View (M Sport steering wheel)\n\n\n\n\nM Sport steering wheel with paddle shifters\n\n\nStyling wise, prior to the update, the \n520d LCI \nreceived 17-inch rims while the \n520i LCI \nreceived 18-inch rims, both being \nnon-M Sport\n rims.

The term \u201c\nfair price to pay\n\u201d is a subjective matter but we have chosen three models that we consider \u201cfair\u201d based on our experience and expertise.\n\n\nBased on the table above, you can get a \n2014 BMW 520i LCI\n for \nRM114,900\n with a mileage of 97,509 KM. With a 10 percent down payment, the estimated monthly installment is \nRM1,259 per month\n.\n\n\nAlternatively, you can get a \n2014 BMW 520i LCI\n for slightly cheaper at \nRM112,500 \nwith a mileage of 95,935 KM. With the similar loan calculations, you\u2019re looking to pay an estimated sum of \nRM1,233 per month\n.\n\n\nNonetheless, if you want a less \u201cuncle-looking\u201d \n5 Series\n then take a look at the \nBMW 520i M Sport LCI\n for \nRM154,900 \nwith a mileage of 98,324 KM. Again, with a 10 percent down payment, the estimated monthly installment is \nRM1,692 per month\n.\n\n\nWhich BMW 5 Series Model to Buy?\n\n\nWe recommend the \nF10 5 Series \nLCI\n models as \nBMW Malaysia\n would have addressed the common issues on the pre-facelift models. That includes models manufactured from 2014 onwards.\u00a0\n\n\nPersonally, I would go for the \n2016 BMW 520i M Sport LCI \nas it gets the \nM Sport \ntrim with more appealing styling and the \nsports seats\n with excellent thigh and lumbar support, which can reduce fatigue during traffic jams.\n \nFurthermore, it would \nonly be a six-year-old car\n at the time of writing this article. With \nBMW Malaysia \noffering five years/unlimited-mileage warranty and a free service package at the time, it means that the car would not have missed any service for the first five years. With that being said, every used car has different owners and different maintenance habits.\u00a0\n\n\nCheck out how CARSOME takes the worry out of buying pre-owned cars \nhere\n.\n\n\nPros and Cons of a BMW 5 Series (F10)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPros\n\n\nCons\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExcellent handling \u2013 goes through twisty roads at high speed without losing traction\n\n\nNot the most reliable\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComfortable \u2013 absorbs bumps and potholes with ease\n\n\nExhaust pipes are not split, not even on the \nM\n \nSport\n trim\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLarge boot capacity at 520-liters \u2013 easily fits two large luggage bags\n\n\nSpare parts can be expensive to replace\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGood sound insulation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoes not look outdated both on the exterior and interior\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIntuitive media unit (BMW iDrive System)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat Are the Common Problems?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCommon problems\n\n\nRepair and replacement costs (~)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nECU Failure\n\n\nRM3,500\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRuptured intake hose (\nN20\n engine)\n\n\nRM500\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTiming chain failure (\nN20 \nengine)\n\n\nRM2,500\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWater pump failure\n\n\nRM2,000\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWheel speed sensor failure\n\n\nRM350\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWater leakage on the firewall\n\n\nRM650\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParking brake failure\n\n\nRM1,500\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMelting interior door handles\u00a0\n\n\nRM550\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow Much to Maintain?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaintenance\n\n\nCosts (~)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRoad Tax\n\n\nRM377.50\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTires/pc (~)\n\n\nRM380 \u2013 RM640\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMinor service (Engine oil and oil filter) [~]\n\n\nRM450 \u2013 RM500\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTransmission fluid (gearbox oil) [~]\n\n\nRM1,000\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpark plugs/pc (~)\n\n\nRM80\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFront brake pads (~)\n\n\nRM400\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRear brake pads (~)\n\n\nRM300\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAir conditioner service (~)\n\n\nRM250\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe BMW 5 Series Offers Driving Pleasure Everyone Would Enjoy\n\n\nAlthough the \nF10 BMW 5 Series \nhas its fair share of common problems, you will still see newly registered number plates of the \nF10 5 Series\n on the road.

Well, the idea behind any hybrid is the combination of the combustion engine and electric motor working together to provide either more power or restrict the use of the combustion engine during low speed. The resulting effect would reduce petrol consumption and emissions; hence the term hybrid.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    PHEV\u2019s take this a step further by including a larger battery to drive the electric motor exclusively, and allow the user to charge the vehicle as they go.

The 330e Sport (\nwhich we\u2019ve reviewed here\n) is no longer sold new.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Upgrades from the previously available variant includes the M Sport package that comes with 18-inch M alloy wheels and M Aerodynamics package with M Sport suspensions on the outside, while the interior features the M leather steering wheel, sports seats, headliner in anthracite with the distinguishing blue trim.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Driver assistance systems include a Parking assistant for parallel and perpendicular parking, BMW ConnectedDrive, Navigation system professional with touchscreen and iDrive Touch Controller. In terms of driving, the M Sports suspensions does firm the ride significantly over the previously driven, with an even expressive feel on the tarmac, and throttle response.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n530e Sport \u2013 For The Business Executive\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The all-new 5-Series with the 530e is electrified. It\u2019s positioning is placed as the base model for the G30 5-Series in Malaysia and is joined by the higher end 530i M Sport. Differences other than the Plug-In Hybrid drivetrain comes largely of the M Exterior and Interior trim, Adaptive LED headlights and Selective Beam, Active cruise control with Stop&Go, Parking Assistant, Gesture Control in the infotainment system, Harman Kardon surround sound system, and the BMW Display Key.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Between the entire iPerformance vehicle range, the 530e alongside the 740Le showcases the brand\u2019s latest design language both inside and out.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Driving the 530e is evidently the most seamless plug-in hybrid we\u2019ve driven thus far, together with the 740Le. This is not to say that the 330e and X5 40e aren\u2019t seamless, it\u2019s just that refinements and insulation we feel from the cabin do make a difference. Here the signature BMW driving feel is a class beyond the other continental brands in the same class, but the lack of the head-up display on the 530e is probably the single most important exclusion compared to the 330e, 740Le and X5 40e.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n740Le xDrive \u2013 Cruising Luxury\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    BMW\u2019s flagship sedan here doesn\u2019t disappoint. If top of the line luxury PHEV is what you\u2019re looking for, the 740Le is a step above in available sedans both in comfort and equipment.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    In fact, most of the highlighting features of BMW Laserlights, Driving Assistant Plus suite, Active cruise control with Stop&Go, Head-up display, Park Assistant with Surround View camera, Gesture Control infotainment, Rear seat entertainment system with two 10-inch monitors and an eight-programme massage function for rear passenger seats, are just the few that the 740Le showcases.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    While the assumption that the 740Le should be the car that passengers be driven in, drivers also get to enjoy the full suite of features above any other iPerformance vehicle.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-Depth\n\n\n\n\n\n\nX5 xDrive40e \u2013 The All-Rounded iPerformance Vehicle\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Despite being the first PHEV introduced by BMW Malaysia, it somehow still feels to be the best overall in the current range. The X5 40e features the M Sport Aerodynamic package that improves the look both in and out \u2013 adding the 19-inch M alloy wheels on the exterior and M door sill finishers, as well as the M leather steering wheel in the cabin.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    But more than that, the inclusion of driver assistance systems, BMW\u2019s Head-up display, iDrive version 5 and Two monitors for the Rear seat entertainment professional with remote, the X5 here is adequately equipped. The infotainment system provides the master control towards the rear units, or separately (located at the rear centre outlet) however requires headphones to listen to media such as movies and music.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Some might argue that the seats lack lumbar support, and the ride could be a little bouncy depending on road conditions. Sport mode however solves the ride pliancy with enough for quick manoeuvres and the occasional sprint.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Overall we felt that comfort is good, however due to the size of the vehicle, the battery needs to be at a minimum charge to provide the initial get go before the support from the 2.0-litre unit comes in. Without it, the combustion engine requires a little more push to get the 2.3 tonne X5 moving forward.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nHere the BMW Intelligent Safety Button located on the central dashboard allows the driver to immediately access various safety options including Lane Departure Warning and activate or deactivate the most recently accessed item.\n\n\n\n\n\n    As with storage and lifestyle, lightning accents throughout the cabin at dusk provides illumination in various pre-set colours across the lower panel doors and storage bins. There\u2019s no saying that the rear space has more than enough space for a family road trip. It\u2019s an SUV after all. The Surround view camera also makes it easy to park an SUV this size, and as with the brand\u2019s ConnectedDrive services of Intelligent Emergency Call, Tele, Concierge and eDrive Services all included, it\u2019s more than enough to assist you along the way.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nHere's how to charge your iPerformance vehicle\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBMW iPerformance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n330e M Sport\n\n\n\n\n\n\n530e Sport\n\n\n\n\n\n\nX5 xDrive 40e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n740Le xDrive\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPower\n\n\n\n\n\n                    184 hp (combustion engine)\n\n                    87 hp (electric motor)\n\n                    248 hp (combined)\n                \n\n\n\n                    184 hp (combustion engine)\n\n                    111 hp (electric motor)\n\n                    248 hp (combined)\n                \n\n\n\n                    245 hp (combustion engine)\n\n                    111 hp (electric motor)\n\n                    308 hp (combined)\n                \n\n\n\n                    258 hp (combustion engine)\n\n                    111 hp (electric motor)\n\n                    322 hp (combined)\n                \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTorque\n\n\n\n\n\n                    290 Nm at 1,350 to 4,250 rpm (combustion engine)\n\n                    250 Nm at 0 to 2,500 rpm (electric motor)\n\n                    420 Nm at 0 to 2,500 rpm (combined)\n                \n\n\n\n                    290 Nm at 1,350 to 4,250 rpm (combustion engine)\n\n                    250 Nm at 0 to 3,170 rpm (electric motor)\n\n                    420 Nm (combined)\n                \n\n\n\n                    350 Nm at 1,250 to 4,800 rpm (combustion engine)\n\n                    250 Nm at 0 to 3,170 rpm (electric motor)\n\n                    450 Nm at 1,250 to 4,500 rpm (combined)\n                \n\n\n\n                    400 Nm at 1,550 to 4,400 rpm (combustion engine)\n\n                    250 Nm at 0 to 3,170 rpm (electric motor)\n\n                    500 Nm (combined)\n                \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEngine Capacity\n\n\n\n\n\n                    2.0-litre 4-cyl Twin-Scroll Turbo\n                \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTransmission\n\n\n\n\n\n                    8-Speed Automatic with Steptronic\n                \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAcceleration 0-100 km/h\n\n\n\n\n\n                    6.1-seconds\n                \n\n\n\n                    6.2-seconds\n                \n\n\n\n                    6.8-seconds\n                \n\n\n\n                    5.3-seconds\n                \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCombined litre per 100 km\n\n\n\n\n\n                    2.1\n                \n\n\n\n                    2.0\n                \n\n\n\n                    3.3\n                \n\n\n\n                    2.5\n                \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCO2 emissions\n\n\n\n\n\n                    49 g/km\n                \n\n\n\n                    46 g/km\n                \n\n\n\n                    77 g/km\n                \n\n\n\n                    56 g/km\n                \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice (without GST)\n\n\n\n\n\n                    RM 244,193\n                \n\n\n\n                    RM 324,381\n                \n\n\n\n                    RM 366,838\n                \n\n\n\n                    RM 564,947\n                \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nConclusion\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    As of publication, BMW Malaysia sells five iPerformance vehicles including the i8 sports car.

Once you have your eyes on it, it is really hard to look away as this beauty is the epitome of performance, style and fun driving. The BMW M1351 xDrive is a compact hatchback that is not manufactured to compete with anyone but to set the standards.\n\n\n\n\nIt is characterized by a spirited elegance and a sporty character that is borne out by its athletic design. It is also known as \u201cThe 1\u201d and is the leading premium hatchback model made by BMW. This model is expected to be sold in Malaysia at a starting price of RM 355,000 with a five years unlimited mileage warranty including a free scheduled service. Here are some of the car\u2019s great features.\n\n\n\n\n \u00a0 \n \nPowerful Engine\n\n\n\n\nThe BMW M135i xDrive comes with a two-cylinder M Performance TwinPower Turbo four-liter engine. This engine is paired with an eight-speed StepTronic Sport automatic transmission gearbox. It is capable of producing 306 horsepower (hp) and maximum torque of 450 Nm with a maximum speed of up to 250 km / h. This exciting performance is definitely driven by turbocharger upgrades, optimized air ducts, high-performance cooling packages and M Performance exhaust units with air vent control.\n\n\n\n\n \u00a0 \n \nDynamic Driving Experience\n\n\n\n\nThe specifications of this BMW model will definitely enhance your driving experience. This new generation model also comes with the M Sport suspension with a height that is 10 mm lower than the standard version. This BMW 1-Series also comes with an adaptive suspension with Variable Damper Control (VDC) that allows you to choose different settings depending on your driving needs. You can change the driving mode to Comfort or Sport using the Driving Experience Control button. In addition, XDrive under the name BMW M135i XDrive indicates this model is equipped with a 4-wheel drive system. This coupling thus allows this model to accelerate from 0-100 km / h in 4.8 seconds.\n\n\n\n\n \u00a0 \n \nComfortable yet Sporty Interior\n\n\n\n\ns\n\n\nThe interior of the BMW M135i xDrive looks extra sporty thanks to the premium features of the car. Optimal grip with M Leather steering wheel and more comfort with M Sport seating makes your driving experience calmer and at ease. In fact, the perfect lighting and brightly colored interior finishing add to the exclusive features of this model. This driver-based cabin space also looks more elegant with the BMW Live Cockpit Professional feature with two 10.25-inch full digital displays. The ergonomic M Sport seats for drivers and passengers add to the comfort of the ride. In fact, it also comes with a variety of settings that allow you to adjust your seat according to the passenger / driver preferences.\n\n\n\n\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \nWide Cabin Space\n\n\n\n\nThe size of this F40 model is shorter than the previous generation F20 model. The overall length of this model is 4319mm with a wheelbase that is 20mm shorter than the previous model. However, this model is 34mm wider and 13mm taller thus offering more knee space and higher upper rear space. This spacious cabin space is also changed by upgrading the position of the engine shifted horizontally. This upgrade makes the design of the front bonnet space appear shorter in addition to the larger cargo space size with a capacity of 380 liters; 20 liters larger than previous models. In fact, if the rear seat is lowered, it can increase the overall size of the cargo space to 1200 liters.\n\n\n\n\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \nAn Elegant Exterior\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe exterior of the BMW M135i xDrive looks neater with the Cerium Grey finish, two kidney grills with a mesh design, and twin exhausts which are also in the Cerium Gray finish. The 557 M Style lightweight alloy rims, Bridgestone Potenza S005 235 / 35R19 tires and M rear spoiler with tailpipe adds to the elegant features of this luxury compact car. It is also equipped with a selection of equipment from the standard M-shaped aerodynamic package, adaptive LED headlights and full LED tail lights. These features thus make this model look more elegant, sporty, and charismatic.\n\n\n\n\nIf you are considering getting the BMW M135i xDrive, you can always sell off your current car to Carsome to make space for the new one. \nCarsome\n is a used car trading platform that offers the best price deals.

CARSOME menyenaraikan 5 perkara mengenai model kereta ini yang boleh dijadikan sebagai panduan sebelum anda membuat keputusan:\n\n\n\n\n1. Enjin Berkuasa\n\n\nModel BMW M135i xDrive didatangkan dengan enjin empat silinder \nM Performance TwinPower Turbo\n berkapasiti dua liter. Enjin ini digandingkan dengan kotak gear transmisi automatik \nStepTronic Sport\n lapan kelajuan. Ia mampu menghasilkan 306 kuasa kuda (hp) dan tork maksimum 450 Nm dengan kelajuan maksimum mencecah 250 km/j. Prestasi yang mengujakan ini semestinya didorong oleh naik taraf pengecas turbo, salur udara dioptimumkan, pakej penyejukan berprestasi tinggi dan unit ekzos \nM Performance\n dengan kawalan lubang udara.\n\n\n2. Pengalaman Pemanduan Dinamik\n\n\nSpesifikasi-spesifikasi yang ada pada model BMW ini semestinya akan meningkatkan pengalaman pemanduan anda. Model generasi baharu ini juga turut tampil dengan suspensi \nM Sport \ndengan ketinggian 10 mm lebih rendah berbanding versi standard. BMW 1-Series ini juga dilengkapi suspensi adaptif dengan \nVariable Damper Control (VDC)\n yang membolehkan anda untuk memilih tetapan berbeza bergantung pada keperluan pemanduan anda.\n\n\nAnda boleh menukar mod pemanduan kepada \nComfort \natau \nSport\n menggunakan butang Kawalan Pengalaman Pemanduan. Selain itu, XDrive pada nama BMW M135i XDrive menandakan model ini dilengkapi dengan sistem pacuan 4 roda. Gandingan ini sekali gus membolehkan model ini memecut dari 0-100 km/j dalam tempoh 4.8 saat.\n\n\n\n\n3. Bahagian Dalaman Lebih Selesa, Lebih \u2018\nSporty\n\u2019\n\n\nBahagian dalaman BMW M135i xDrive tampil lebih \nsporty\n dengan ciri-ciri yang lebih premium. Cengkaman yang lebih optimum dengan stereng \nM Leather\n, keselesaan yang lebih mantap dengan tempat duduk \nM Sport\n menjadikan pengalaman pemanduan anda lebih tenang dan selesa. Malah, pencahayaan yang sempurna dan kemasan bahagian dalaman berwarna terang menambahkan lagi ciri eksklusif model ini.\n\n\nRuang kabin berasaskan pemandu ini juga tampil lebih elegan dengan ciri \nBMW Live Cockpit Professional\n dengan dua paparan digital penuh 10.25 inci untuk paparan yang lebih sempurna. Tempat duduk \nM Sport\n yang ergonomik untuk pemandu dan penumpang menambahkan lagi keselesaaan sepanjang perjalanan. Malah, ia turut dilengkapi dengan pelbagai pilihan tetapan yang membolehkan anda melaraskan tempat duduk anda mengikut saiz penumpang/pemandu dan keadaan.\n\n\n\n\n4. Ruang Kabin Lebih Luas\n\n\nSaiz model F40 ini lebih pendek berbanding model generasi F20 sebelum ini. Panjang keseluruhan model ini ialah 4319mm dengan jarak roda 20mm lebih pendek berbanding model sebelumnya. Namun begitu, model ini 34mm lebih lebar dan 13mm lebih tinggi sekali gus menawarkan ruang lutut yang lebih luas dan ruang atas bahagian belakang yang lebih tinggi. Ruang kabin yang lebih luas ini turut didorong oleh naik taraf kedudukan enjin yang dialih melintang.\n\n\nNaik taraf ini menjadikan rekaan ruang bonet hadapan tampil lebih pendek selain saiz ruang kargo yang lebih besar dengan kapasiti 380 liter; 20 liter lebih besar berbanding model sebelum ini. Malah, jika kerusi tempat duduk belakang direbahkan, ia berupaya meningkatkan saiz keseluruhan ruang kargo menjadikannya 1200 liter.\n\n\n5.

You set it so that it\u2019ll be difficult for others to follow, like doing it sideways. That\u2019s what BMW recently did with their latest F90 M5 with their precision driving instructor, Johan Schwartz. On 11\nth\n December 2017, Schwartz performed a sustained drift at the BMW Performance Centre in South Carolina in the new M5. He covered 374.2 km in eight hours, and set a new Guinness World Record for the longest drift.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nYet, that wasn\u2019t the only Guinness World Record that was awarded that day. Thanks to a custom-built refuelling system developed by BMW in collaboration with a North Carolina-based company Detroit Speed, the drifting session was able to be done continuously without break (talk about endurance!). The system enabled the M5 to be refuelled during the drift, similar to fighter jets in mid-flight.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn another F10 M5 driven by Matt Mullins Chief Driving Instructor for the BMW Performance Centre, and Matt Butts of Detroit Speed doing the refuelling, the synchronised drifts were performed five times that covered a total 79.3 km for over an hour. The second Guinness World Record was awarded for the longest twin vehicle water-assisted drift.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHowever, this wasn\u2019t Johan\u2019s first attempt at the record. In 2013, he actually broke the existing record for the longest continuous drift at 11.2 km by almost eight times, setting it at 82.5 km.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBehind The Scenes\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWant to know more about the BMW 5 Series? \nClick here\n for a handy infographic on the 5 Series history.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car with Carsome today!

And that is what makes its cars the aspirational vehicle for many. Besides the staple 3 Series and 5 Series sedans that we all know, not many are familiar with the other models in BMW\u2019s lineup. To help you learn more about the brand\u2019s various models, here\u2019s a detailed list explaining all the BMW Series.\n\n\nBMW\n stands for Bavarian Motor Works or \nBayerische Motoren Werke\n in German. It was founded in Munich in 1916 producing airplane engines during World War One. It started to produce its first cars in 1928 and became a brand synonymous with luxurious, fast, and engaging cars after it built the iconic BMW 2002, followed by the 3 Series in the 1980s.\n\n\nHow BMW Cars are Named\n\n\nSeries Number Meaning\n\n\nBMW\u2019s naming convention utilizes an alphanumeric system organized into numbered series from 1 to 8, with no hyphens in the name. Even numbers are typically given to sportier coupe models. For example, a BMW 4 Series would be a coupe model that\u2019s similar in size to a 3 Series, while a 5 Series is a jump in segment compared to the 3 and 4 Series.\u00a0\n\n\nX models are SUVs, and Z models are roadsters. Additionally, models starting with a lowercase \u2018i\u2019 are fully-electric. Some models may also include the suffixes sDrive (rear two-wheel-drive/RWD) or xDrive (all-wheel-drive/AWD), but not all RWD BMWs are marked with an sDrive badge.\n\n\nSecond Half Model Number Meaning\n\n\nThe second set of numbers in a model name after the Series number (eg. the \u201c30\u201d in \u201c330i\u201d) indicates the engine power, which used to correspond to engine displacement. Nowadays, the number denotes the horsepower output of the car, with a larger number denoting a higher horsepower.\n\n\nThe final letter in the model name indicates the type of engine in the car. Typically, most cars end in \u201ci\u201d, indicating petrol fuel injection. However, there are also \u201ce\u201d models for electrified hybrids, and in certain markets, \u201cd\u201d models for diesel cars.\n\n\nTo illustrate, the model name 745e denotes a 7 Series plug-in hybrid sedan with a petrol engine producing between 300 and 350 kW or between 407 and 475 PS of power.\n\n\nWhat are BMW \u201cM\u201d Cars?\n\n\nM cars such as the BMW M3 and M5 are designed by BMW\u2019s M performance division. These cars have significant performance upgrades making them suitable for the track. Cars like the M340i xDrive are not M cars and typically denote models with slightly more power, and sportier styling, brakes, and suspension tuning.\n\n\nOther BMW Terms to Know\n\n\nTo really understand BMW cars, here are terms you should know.\n\n\n\n\nSports Activity Vehicle (SAV):\n BMW\u2019s version of SUVs\n\n\nGran Coupe: \nA four-door sedan shaped like a coupe, with a sloping roofline\n\n\nGran Turismo:\n A four-door fastback or hatchback\n\n\nHofmeister Kink: \nA signature design feature on BMW cars where the rearmost pillar (the passenger window) has a kink that is angled forward at the lower rear corner.\n\n\nBimmer:\n A nickname for BMW cars, colloquially given by BMW fans and the general public\n\n\nCompetition: \nA BMW M model with even more sporty designs\n\n\nCoupe Sport Leichtbau (CSL): \nIt means coupe sport lightweight in German, and is used on the sportiest of BMW M cars featuring optimized lightweight technology\n\n\nsDrive:\n Two-wheel-drive version\n\n\nxDrive: \nAll-wheel-drive version\n\n\nL:\n Models with this designation have a longer wheelbase for extra comfort for the rear passengers.

On the upper floor near the window that overlooks Checkpoint Charlie, a BMW Isetta was once used as an escape car.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKlaus-G\u00fcnter Jacobi (age 79) regularly accompanies visitors through the museum as a tourist guide, but not many know that it was his idea to hide a person inside the tiny bubble car and to cross the border with the unnoticed passenger. This is how his best friend Manfred Koster managed to escape from East to West Berlin, and how similarly converted Isetta\u2019s also helped nine others escape the German Democratic Republic.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhile it seems impossible to hide a person inside a BMW Isetta, car mechanic Jacobi cut an opening into the trim behind the seat bench, shifted the shelf upwards and removed the spare wheel, heating and air filter, he also exchanged the 13-litre fuel tank for a 2-litre canister to make space for a hidden passenger.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBehind The Scenes\n\n\n\u201cThe Small Escape\u201d was produced by director Alex Feil, camera man Khaled Mohtaseb and set designer Erwin Prieb. The props, costumes, vehicles and street sets were created in Budapest as a backdrop for 1960s Berlin. A checkpoint complete with wall and border strip was recreated resulting in an oppressive atmosphere which continues to grow throughout the course of the film. \u201cSince their invention, automobiles have brought freedom and self-determination to humankind. Cars bring people together. This is something one should always also keep in mind in the current debate. The movie emphasises this. The moving escape story with the BMW Isetta can also be seen as a symbol of the invaluable value cars and individual mobility can have. It\u2019s all about freedom, independence and dreams. Our movie recognises the drive and courage of the people who made this successful escape possible\u201d, Jens Thiemer, Head of BMW Brand Management said.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nYou can now get the \nlocally-assembled G20 BMW 330i M Sport\n!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car to Carsome when you\u2019re ready for that shiny new BMW in your driveway!\n\n", "Tags\nLifestyle", "Written by Carsome Editorial", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

The term \n\u201cfair price to pay\u201d\n is purely a subjective opinion but we have chosen three models based on our expertise that are considered \u201cfair\u201d.\n\n\nFor what is considered the best of both worlds (\nM Sport\n without the \nAdaptive M Suspension\n as the replacement costs are higher), you can get a \n2017 BMW 330e M Sport \nfor \nRM135,400\n with a mileage of 61,815 kilometers. With a 10 percent down payment, the estimated monthly installment is \nRM1,484 per month\n.\u00a0\n\n\nAlternatively, if that is out of your price range then we recommend the \n2016 BMW 330e Sport Line\n for \nRM103,500\n with a mileage of 82,530 KM.

Marketed as a Sports Activity Coupe, BMW wanted to showcase the on-road capabilities on top of the off-road nature that are the highlights for vehicles of these type. By doing so, BMW pioneered the coupe-styled SAC, and today we have to thank them for starting a trend that\u2019s being adopted by car companies everywhere.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n\n\nA decade today, BMW\u2019s X series of vehicles now stand at seven models. Nomenclature for the brand now categorises odd numbered vehicles as the core range, and the even numbers reserved for the sportier and sleeker coupe bodystyle.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nStyling\n\n\n\n\nFor the first ever BMW X2, the brand wanted to inject some individuality and character that appeals to the young and active. With a mix of heritage and the need to have a vehicle that stands out, the X2 is styled quite differently.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nThe design highlights at the front showcases the identifying BMW kidney grille. Instead of just furnishing it with the standard grille, designers took to inverting the traditional grille, effectively showcasing a trapezoidal shape that\u2019s wider at the base. The resulting look gives the X2 a broader face and sportier appearance.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n\n\nA look at the X2\u2019s side profile and this SAV stands apart from even BMW\u2019s own X4 and X6. From the coupe roofline and the BMW swage line that tapers the body sharply towards the glasshouse, the athletic shoulders is met with the beltline that rises towards the rear lamps.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nInjecting Heritage\n\n\n \n\n\nHere at the C-pillars, the hallmark Hofmeister kink is joined with, for the first time, a BMW roundel on an X model. The roundel heralds back to classic coupes like the 2000 CS and 3.0 CSL from the 1960s. The form with function continues to the rear, where the spoiler with side-mounted aero edges is one of the contributing factors to the X2\u2019s coefficient drag figure or 0.28 cd. The lighting signature for the rear is a hybrid of the T-shape in the X models and L in the coupes.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nInterior\n\n\n \n\n\nWhile the exterior styling is very bold and daring, the interior goes back to the straightforwardness of BMW\u2019s practicality. X1 owners will feel right at home as the dashboard is almost identical to the X2\u2019s. It does feel a little dated as it adopts the previous generation look and feel, but we still do enjoy the legibility and ease of use of the layout. The trim here is the Aluminium Hexagon anthracite paired with black leather Dakota upholstery with sport seats for the driver and front passenger.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe M Sport steering wheel, 8.8-inch touchscreen Professional and ambient lighting rounds off the standard equipment list.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nVariant\n\n\n\n\nThe X2 we\u2019ve reviewed here is fully imported and BMW\u2019s sole variant sDrive20i M Sport in Misano Blue. Underneath is the brand\u2019s 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged unit that outputs 192 hp and 280 Nm of torque from 1,350 to 4,600 rpm. Mated to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission, power goes to the front wheels. Century sprint from a standstill is achieved in 7.7-seconds while combined fuel consumption is rated at 5.9-litres per 100 km. The M Sport pack also includes a passive suspension that lowers the height of 10 mm over the standard non-M Sport version.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nComfort and Practicality\n\n\n\n\nThose who are looking at a more commanding seating position as is expected with X models might be a little disappointed as the X2 only sits slightly higher. In terms of spaciousness, there\u2019s plenty of headroom for the driver and front passenger, but for rear passengers over six-feet tall, it might get less airy. Nonetheless, legroom is adequate.\n\n\nBoot space is 470-litres with all seats up, and 1,355-litres with them down. Backrests are a good 40:20:40 split folding.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSafety\n\n\n\n\nThere\u2019s airbags for the driver and front passenger, head and side, as well as front to rear curtain systems, ABD, DSC, DTC, Dynamic Brake Control, Electronic Differential Lock Control, and Performance control.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDriving Experience\n\n\n\n\nThose worried that the BMW handling is different with its new front-wheel drive cars need not fret as turn in is just as sharp. There is a little more weight to the steering than what we\u2019re used to, but this adds on to the sporty appeal and gets better with speed. Agility is good thanks to the 10% firmer suspension than the X1 but might prove to be uncomfortable over long drives with really cratered roads as it will be felt through the cabin. Just be sure to avoid potholes with this one. That being said, there\u2019s little noise from the outside as the cabin is well insulated.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe 192 hp is more than enough for most as it picks up speed well, and with the paddle shifters, gear changes are quick and precise. The Heads-up display does its job well and we haven\u2019t had any issues with the drive or how it performed. Cruise control with braking is also included.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nVerdict\n\n\n\n\nIs the X2 for you? It depends. If you are looking for a small coupe styled BMW X car that stands out from the others, drives more like a hot hatch, but with a little less power, the X2 could suit you rather nicely. However, at its current price of RM 328,800, those looking to get this would be spoilt for choice as the price sits nicely in the range of the brand\u2019s other offerings like the all-new 330i, 520i Luxury, 530e Sport, X3 and even is a whole RM 108,000 more than the X1.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBut if you are really into the styling and want more power, as of publication, you can opt for the more potent X2 M35i with 306 hp and 450 Nm of torque which now can be ordered at RM 398,800.

Out of 10 PHEV models currently available for sale in the country, BMW Malaysia has seven including the Mini Countryman PHEV. Year-to-date, the Group has delivered close to 10,000 of its iPerformance vehicles, with the lion share of 56 per cent accounting for iPerformance vehicles alone. While this doesn\u2019t seem like it\u2019s a large number, globally the brand sold a total 63,197 cars, with Malaysia representing the top three markets for BMW plug-in hybrid deliveries. Yes, you read that right.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAt the heart of its current line-up, BMW\u2019s 530e is an important car for the Munich based brand. It is the latest passenger PHEV from them (apart from the new i8 coup\u00e9 and roadster sports cars), that slots right in the middle of their PHEV offerings. We recently test drove the 530e and this is what we experienced.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIts Styling is More of an Improvement of The Last\n\n\n\n\nIn the eyes of many people we\u2019ve heard from, the current generation G30 5-Series \u201clooks like the previous F10\u201d. We somewhat agree with this. The G30 very much retains the F10 lines, however it is significantly leaner and sleeker in shape, one that achieves a drag coefficient figure of 0.22 cd. To get to this figure, BMW stuck their car into a wind tunnel and improved the numbers by 10 per cent compared to the F10. How good is 0.22 cd you say? Well BMW\u2019s very own sleek i8 coup\u00e9 sports car drag is recorded at 0.26 cd.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIt Is Green. Greener Than You Think.\n\n\n\n\nGenerally, a car\u2019s green figures are seen in its fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, which usually translates to how efficient the vehicle is able to consume petrol in its cleanest state. Here BMW\u2019s 530e is rated at 2.0-litres per 100 km and CO2 emissions at 46 grams per km, which is admirably very green. Until you take into consideration everything else.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nUpon further reading, we found out that the 530e has been recognised via ISO Certification by the T\u00dcV Rheinland inspection authorities. This independent certification in accordance with the ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards showed that the global warning potential of the 530e is 15 per cent lower than the 530i. Furthermore, if only renewable generated power is used to charge the battery, the impact reduces to as much as 47 per cent. To explain further, the \u201cglobal warming potential\u201d is calculated in the form of CO2 equivalents and it takes into account the environmental impact of the entire lifecycle of the vehicle, from the extraction of raw materials and the manufacturing process as a whole to the usage phase and recycling.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\niDrive is Still One of The Leading Infotainment Systems Out There\n\n\n\n\nThe 530e features the latest-generation iDrive with the live tile layout through the 10.25-inch display. Tile positions here are configurable and has access to main vehicle systems including navigation. However, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto doesn\u2019t come standard, but is an optional software add-on.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe reason why we feel that iDrive shines is through the intuitive system, speed and input methods. Alongside Mercedes\u2019 Comand and Audi\u2019s MMI, iDrive input method\u2019s include the traditional click wheel, touch sensitive pad, physical shortcut buttons accompanying the click wheel as well as the touch screen. While there are similar combinations on both Comand and MMI, placements vary on the manufacturers.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIt\u2019s very much an improved PHEV\n\n\n\n\nWhile the local 330e and X5 xDrive 40e is based on the last generation vehicles, the 530e is riding on the current seventh generation G30 5-Series. In terms of use, everything here is relatively a new experience. Most significant differences include the instrument cluster display and the way eDrive works.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nUnlike the early iPerformance vehicles mentioned above, eDrive on the 530e has been upgraded to best suit its electric-fuel economy nature. By default, all driving modes whether it is Eco Pro or Sport charges the battery upon throttle lift off. This extends to the petrol engine as well. When in Sport mode with the combustion engine running, start-stop takes any possible opportunity to cut the engine off when the car is stationary. The one way we realised would stop this, is to engage the transmission into manual mode. But the main highlight here is the addition of Battery Control, where the driver can now set a battery save target up to 100 per cent to use later in the journey.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhat we think improves the experience better\n\n\n\n\nOne of the most important additions that\u2019s omitted in the 530e\u2019s locally is the Head-Up Display. While we understand that it is due to BMW Malaysia\u2019s positioning of iPerformance vehicles being the entry or sole variants for specific models, the lack of it in the 5 Series is quite significant; making it the only main model in the brand\u2019s current line-up without it.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSomething else within the Intelligent Safety section bothered us. By default and active, Blind Spot Detection provides visual alerts through the wing mirrors and vibrations through the steering wheel should the driver move too closely. Although we wanted to disable the steering wheel vibrations through the individual setting, the system actually deactivates Blind Spot Detection entirely (visual and vibrations). While this is great for those who prefer it completely on or off, there should be an option to work the alerts independently.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nChecked out the all-new 2019 BMW 3 Series yet? \nClick here\n for the full rundown!\n\n\nNeed to know more about BMW\u2019s iPerformance vehicle range? \nClick here\n for our explaination to why we think it\u2019s a great intro to your first PHEV.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nReady to get that new BMW?

Despite that, many car owners neglect their windshield wipers and continue using them even after they have deteriorated. This can be dangerous as wipers that don\u2019t function poorly can reduce your road visibility, resulting in accidents.\n\n\nBesides changing your windshield wipers on time, it\u2019s also essential to choose the right wipers for your car. So if you\u2019ve been wondering if you should stick with cheap wipers or splurge a bit more for quality, we\u2019ve got all you need to know.\n\n\nTypes of Windshield Wiper Blades\n\n\nThere are three main types of windshield wiper blades on the market; conventional, beam, and hybrid. Each type has a different frame or support mechanism for the rubber blade which affects the performance of the wiper.\u00a0\n\n\n1. Conventional Metal Frame Wiper Blades\n\n\n\n\nConventional wiper blades are the most common type as they are also the most affordable. A conventional blade has a metal frame that runs along the length of the blade. This frame applies pressure on the rubber blade to contour it to the curve of the windshield ensuring proper contact between the blade and the glass, so the blade can properly wipe off the water and dirt on your \nwindshield\n. The metal frame also gives this type of wiper durability for excellent performance in heavy rain.\n\n\nAlthough conventional wiper blades are affordable and do a good job most of the time, they\u2019re not as flexible as other types and may not wipe as well after extended use, due to the lack of flexibility. The metal frame can also rust, though it\u2019s pretty uncommon. Some popular conventional wiper blades include the Bosch Advantage and Denso DCP Series wipers.\n\n\n2. Beam Wiper Blades\n\n\n\n\nBeam wiper blades have no external frame to keep the rubber rigid. Instead, they have spring steel integrated into the rubber blade. Spring steel is a type of elastic steel that when used in a wiper blade, allows the blade to be flexible and contour to the curve of your windshield more. That\u2019s why beam wiper blades have a cleaner wiping action than conventional ones.\n\n\nBeing a one-piece design, it also looks sleeker on your windshield. Beam wiper blades were initially used on luxury vehicles but are now commonly used on modern cars from almost all automakers. Popular beam wiper blades include the Bosch Aerotwin plus and Hella Cleantech wipers.\n\n\nRead More: \nHow to Choose the Right Car Window Tint\n\n\n3. Hybrid Wiper Blades\n\n\n\n\nLike its name suggests, a hybrid wiper blade combines the form of conventional and beam-style blades. It\u2019s basically a beam wiper with the blade concealed in a rugged plastic frame. The plastic frame provides additional rigidity, protection, and more balanced pressure on the wiper blade for consistent windshield contact. The frame is also designed to be aerodynamic to reduce the wind and water resistance on the blade when driving at high speeds or in heavy rain.\u00a0\n\n\nHybrid wiper blades tend to be the priciest type out of all blades, though the price ranges widely depending on the brand and size of the blade. Popular hybrid wiper blades you can get include the Michelin Hydroedge and Hella Razor wipers.\n\n\nHow to Choose the Right Windshield Wiper Blades for Your Car?\n\n\nBuying a set of car windshield wipers might seem like an easy task, but you should take it seriously considering their importance to your driving safety. Furthermore, most car models can only take wiper blades of certain types and sizes. If your car comes with beam or hybrid wiper blades from the factory, you should not change to conventional wipers, though you can upgrade to beam or hybrid wipers if your car comes with conventional wipers as stock.\n\n\nChoose the Right-Sized Wipers for Your Car\n\n\nYou can usually determine the size of the wiper blades you need to buy by referring to your car owner\u2019s manual, though if it\u2019s unavailable, you can just measure your current wiper blades before buying.\u00a0 Front windshield wiper blades range in size from 10 to over 30 inches long, though rear windshield wiper blades are usually eight inches long.\u00a0\n\n\nSo why is it important to buy the right-sized wiper blades? Well, if the blades are too long, they\u2019ll bump into each other with the risk of getting damaged. If they\u2019re too short, they won\u2019t provide enough coverage and can\u2019t clean your windshield effectively.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nCommon Car Issues That Can Catch You by Surprise\n\n\n\n\nAre Cheaper Generic Wiper Blades Worth It?\n\n\nAnother thing to consider is whether to get branded or generic wiper blades. Though original, branded blades provide better long-term performance and generally last longer before deteriorating, cheaper, generic blades should perform just as well when new.\u00a0\n\n\nIn fact, keeping your blades clean is more important than the price and material of the blades when it comes to performance. Most wiper blades, regardless of brand or price generally last between six months to a year before deteriorating, and if you frequently park under the sun, maybe even less than that.\u00a0\n\n\nAvoid going for RM10 wiper blades unless you plan to replace them every few months, but even then, the chances of the rubber on these blades splitting are generally higher than branded wipers.\n\n\nSilicone vs Rubber Wiper Blades\n\n\nWhen shopping for windshield wiper blades, you\u2019ll no doubt come across rubber and silicone options. Silicone blades are significantly more expensive than rubber ones, ranging from RM50 to over RM100 per piece, but are they worth the investment? Here\u2019s a comparison between silicone and rubber wiper blades.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeatures\n\n\nSilicone Car Wiper Blade\n\n\nRubber Car Wiper Blade\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaterial Softness\n\n\nSofter and more flexible providing a smoother and quieter wiping action.\n\n\nHarder, so can be noisier and skip during wiping.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContouring Ability\n\n\nContours better to the curve of the windshield, making it great at wiping away water.\n\n\nBeam and hybrid rubber wipers contour just as well to the windshield, though older, harder wipers will have reduced performance.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHydrophobic Coating\n\n\nLeaves a thin silicone coating on the windshield when used. As the coating is hydrophobic, water glides off the windshield easily when the wiper is used.\n\n\nOnly some rubber wipers are designed to transfer a hydrophobic coating onto the windshield.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHeat Resistance\n\n\nMore resistant to hot weather, allowing it to last longer than rubber blades.\n\n\nHardens and cracks easier when the car is parked under the sun.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHeavy Rain Performance\n\n\nPerforms better under heavy rain.\n\n\nNot as effective under heavy rain.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCost\n\n\nExpensive \u2013 price ranges from RM50 to over RM100 per piece.\n\n\nPrice ranges from RM10 to over RM50 depending on the length and brand.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nNeed More Cargo Space in Your Car? Think outside the Box with a Roof Box\n\n\n\n\nSimple Tips to Take Care of Your Windshield Wipers\n\n\nYour windshield wipers can perform effectively and last longer with some simple care. Here are some quick tips you can use at home to \nhelp your wipers last\n as long as possible.\n\n\n\n\nRaise the wiper blades off the windshield when you park your car under the hot sun. This slows down the warping and hardening process.\n\n\nRegularly clean your windshield wipers with a cloth dipped in diluted soapy water. Just wipe the wiper blades until you don\u2019t pick up any more dirt on the cloth.\n\n\nRegularly wash your car, including the windshield, and use a windshield water-repellant coating to reduce the need of using the wipers. The coating also reduces friction on the windshield, reducing the wear and tear on the wipers.\n\n\nFill your windshield cleaner fluid tank with the right cleaner fluid or just fill it up with some soap water.\n\n\nDon\u2019t use the wipers when there\u2019s heavy dirt residue or bird droppings on the windshield as the wipers will just spread the dirt around. Instead, wipe off the debris with some soft towel and water, or better yet, wash the windshield.\n\n\n\n\nUsing the right wipers on your car will ensure that you have good visibility of the road even in heavy downpours. While branded wipers will give you better performance and last longer, cheaper ones should still do as fine a job of cleaning your windshield as long as you take care of them. By paying attention to the condition of your wipers and changing them on time, you\u2019ll have a clean windshield to look out of and a safer drive.\n\n", "Devan S\nDevan believes written content is here to stay despite our depleting attention span and the rise of short videos.

Here\u2019s What You Can Do", "By\n \nHaziq Asyraf", "11/04/2022", "\n\n\n\n\n", "The blessed month of Ramadan is here once again. There are many things to look forward to during this month like breaking your fast with friends and family, Ramadan bazaars, Ramadan delicacies, and many more. But there is one thing that we would all like to avoid, and that is getting stuck in traffic while heading home to break your fast.\n\n\n\n\nWe\u2019ve prepared some tips you can follow so you can easily break your fast while you\u2019re on the road. Here\u2019s what you can do.\n\n\nTime Your Driving Schedule\n\n\nDuring Ramadan, it\u2019s common to see changes in the driving schedule of most Malaysians. The normal driving schedule when going to the office is usually between 7am to 8am and 5pm to 6pm when going back home.\n\n\n\n\nThis changes slightly during Ramadan \u2013 where most people will be driving back home from 4pm to 5pm, in order to make it back before the time to break fast, which is between 7.15pm and 7.30pm.\n\n\nIt\u2019s best to time your driving schedule so that you won\u2019t be stuck in traffic during your race to go back home to break your fast. 5pm to 6pm is usually the peak hour when traffic is at its all-time high. Avoid driving home during this time or you just might end up having to break your fast in the car.\n\n\nPrepare Snacks\n\n\nTo delay breaking your fast is not a good fasting practice. When you\u2019re stuck in traffic, you will not be able to eat a proper meal when the time comes to break your fast.\n\n\nThis is why it\u2019s important to bring along some light snacks with you when driving. Keep a few energy bars and a bottle of water in your backpack, you never know when they will come in handy.\n\n\nBreaking your fast with something sweet will give you the energy needed for your drive home and once you arrive home safely, you will be able to enjoy a feast together with your loved ones.\n\n\nListen to Azan\n\n\nThe Azan signifies that the time to break your fast has arrived. While it is preferable to listen to your favorite tunes on Spotify when you\u2019re stuck in traffic, you might miss the timing to break your fast.\n\n\nOne way to keep an eye out for the Azan is to tune in to your local radio station, especially when the time to break your fast is near, at around 7pm. Or, you can also use mobile applications on your phone like the Muslim Pro app as it has a feature to notify you of the call to prayer when the time comes.\n\n\nGet Handy Accessories\n\n\nWhen breaking your fast in the car it\u2019s important to keep your car clean and in order. There are various car accessories to help you do this that you can find online at a reasonable price.\n\n\nYou can use a foldable rear seat car dining tray like the one in \nthis link\n to give you a proper space for your meal or snack while breaking your fast in the car. This ensures your car stays free from crumbs or spills when you\u2019re eating.\n\n\nAnother accessory that is recommended for you is a portable dustbin like the one in \nthis link\n that you can use to collect the trash in your car after you\u2019re done eating.\u00a0\n\n\nBut, Make Sure to\u00a0 Drive Safe When Eating on the Road\n\n\nFind a Proper Place to Stop\n\n\nAlthough some might say that it\u2019s alright to continue driving while you break your fast, it\u2019s better to find a place to stop your car properly so you will be able to have a light break fast session with peace of mind.\n\n\nIf the situation permits, try to find a nearby petrol station or rest area to stop when you are 15 to 20 minutes away from the time to break your fast. This allows you to rest, enjoy your snack, and regain your strength to continue your journey.\n\n\nGet Drinks in a Proper Container\n\n\nA drink to quench your thirst after a whole day of fasting is a must, but drinking while driving could distract you from focusing on the road ahead. Imagine going through a pothole and spilling your drink everywhere in the car, that would be a disaster.\n\n\n\n\nIt is better to get a drink in a small container with an easy to open lid that you can handle with one hand and can fit in your cup holders. This way, you can keep your eyes on the road and you can also enjoy your drink without having to worry about spills.\n\n\nAvoid Foods That Require Utensils to Eat\n\n\nSince you have to drive, there\u2019s no way you\u2019ll be able to properly eat foods that require utensils. This includes food like soups, rice, and noodles \u2013 plus soups are easy to spill, and you wouldn\u2019t want to deal with that mess. While chocolate seems like a great snack to break your fast within the car, your hands will be stained and it will leave smears everywhere, which will take away your focus when driving.\n\n\n\n\nInstead, go for simple foods that will not drip, smear, and burn you that can be handled with one hand. A simple burger or sandwich should suffice, or maybe some nuts and dried fruits. What\u2019s important is that it should give you enough energy to continue your drive home.\n\n\nThere are a lot of things you can do to make breaking your fast easier, even when you\u2019re stuck in traffic. These simple tips can also be helpful when you\u2019re out on a \nbalik kampung\n trip or on a long drive for a holiday trip. Not to mention, a quality car that runs properly is also key to making sure you will be able to arrive home safely in time to break your fast.\n\n\nLooking to Buy a Car?

Brek kereta secara amnya berfungsi mengawal, memperlahankan dan memberhentikan kenderaan. Oleh sebab itu, komponen ini disyorkan untuk diselenggara secara berkala bagi memastikan ia sentiasa berada dalam keadaan baik. Brek kereta tak makan, haus atau bermasalah boleh menjadi masalah terutamanya semasa berdepan situasi kecemasan yang tidak dijangka.\n\n\n\n\nBrek Kereta Berbunyi? Tanda-Tanda Brek Kereta Perlu Digantikan\n\n\nPenjagaan dan penyelenggaraan brek kereta merupakan salah satu aspek penting semasa \nservis kereta\n yang perlu diberi perhatian. Keadaan brek kereta yang selamat boleh mengurangkan risiko kemalangan seperti terbabas atau terlanggar kenderaan lain. Carsome menyenaraikan sembilan (9) tanda brek kereta rosak untuk panduan dan rujukan anda:\n\n\n1. Brek Pad Nipis\n\n\nBrek pad kereta terletak di bahagian tayar depan \u2013 ia memberikan geseran yang berfungsi menghentikan dan memperlahankan kenderaan anda. Jika brek pad nipis, ia tidak boleh menjalankan fungsinya secara optimum. Anda boleh lakukan pemeriksaan visual untuk mengetahui status brek pad kereta anda. Brek pad boleh dilihat melalui celahan rim \u2013 jika ketebalannya kurang daripada \u00bc atau kurang daripada 3 mm, anda disarankan untuk segera tukar brek pad kenderaan anda.\n\n\n2. Lampu Amaran Brek Tangan Menyala\n\n\nLampu amaran brek tangan menyala pada \ndashboard\n menandakan potensi masalah pada sistem brek kereta anda. Biasanya, \nlampu amaran brek tangan menyala\n sekiranya brek tangan tidak dilepaskan dengan betul. Namun dalam sesetengah keadaan, ia turut menandakan minyak brek tidak berada pada paras yang disyorkan. Anda boleh merujuk manual pemilik anda untuk lebih kepastian.\n\n\n3. Brek Kereta Berbunyi\n\n\nBrek kereta dilengkapi dengan sekeping logam kecil yang dikenali sebagai indikator. Ia berfungsi menghasilkan bunyi sekiranya brek pad haus atau nipis. Ia akan bergesel dengan cakera brek atau \nbrake discs\n, dan brek pad berbunyi nyaring terutamanya semasa menekan brek sebagai amaran kepada pemilik kenderaan bahawa brek pad haus dan perlu digantikan. Dalam sesetengah keadaan, bendasing seperti batu kecil atau karat pada brek pad juga boleh menyebabkan bunyi. Bawa kereta ke bengkel untuk pemeriksaan lanjut.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nKereta Bunyi Berdengung, Bersiul? Masalah Bunyi Kereta Biasa Berlaku yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\n4. Bau Terbakar, Kereta Bau Hangit\n\n\nBrek pad yang terlalu panas boleh menyebabkan bau terbakar. Jika situasi ini berlaku kepada anda, segera berhenti di lokasi selamat dan biarkan brek kereta sejuk buat seketika. Segera periksa brek kereta anda \u2013 jika terdapat \nasap daripada tayar\n, ia mungkin menunjukkan kaliper brek rosak atau terkunci dan tidak berfungsi dengan baik. Sekiranya situasi sebegini berlaku, anda tidak disarankan untuk meneruskan perjalanan tanpa membaiki brek kereta anda terlebih dahulu.\n\n\n5. Brek Terasa Lembut, Kenyal Ketika Ditekan\n\n\nJika anda berasa brek anda seperti span (lembut dan kenyal) ketika anda menekan brek, atau pedal brek anda terlalu ringan sehingga mencecah lantai kereta, ia menandakan:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrek pad haus dan perlu ditukar;\n\n\nTerdapat udara atau kebocoran dalam sistem brek kereta;\n\n\nMinyak brek bocor.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJika terdapat udara pada brek pad, \nbleeding \nperlu dilakukan. Apa itu bleeding? Bleeding pada sistem brek merujuk pada proses\n flush\n keluar minyak brek lama secara total untuk digantikan dengan minyak brek baharu. Ia bertujuan untuk membuang gelembung udara yang mungkin telah memasuki sistem brek.\n\n\n6. Minyak Brek Bocor\n\n\nSegera periksa brek pad dan paras minyak brek \u2013 jika sudah habis atau berkurangan, ia mungkin menandakan kebocoran dalam sistem brek kereta anda. Apabila anda menekan brek kereta anda, minyak brek akan menghasilkan tekanan hidraulik pada kaliper brek. Jika kenderaan anda tidak mempunyai amaun minyak brek yang mencukupi, ia tidak dapat berhenti dengan selamat. Selain itu, pastikan minyak brek tidak terlalu kotor dan sentiasa diselenggara mengikut jadual. Periksa minyak brek dengan kerap dan segera bawa kereta anda ke bengkel jika anda mendapati paras minyak brek berkurangan atau bocor.\n\n\n7. Stereng Kereta Bergegar Semasa Menekan Brek\n\n\nJika stereng atau kereta anda bergegar semasa anda menekan brek, besar kemungkinan ia berlaku disebabkan ketebalan rotor brek yang tidak sekata. Ia merupakan perkara yang biasa berlaku \u2013 permukaan rotor cenderung untuk haus dan tidak sekata setelah suatu tempoh penggunaan. Semasa anda membrek, bahan brek pad akan dipindahkan ke permukaan rotor. Jika ia berlaku secara tidak sekata, ia akan menyebabkan getaran semasa membrek.\n\n\nJika dibiarkan, bahan brek pad ini akan menghasilkan bintik-bintik yang tidak rata, sekali gus menyebabkan situasi bertambah buruk. Anda boleh meratakan permukaan rotor semasa servis brek untuk mengurangkan gegaran pada stereng semasa membrek. Namun sekiranya rotor sudah haus, anda disarankan untuk menggantikannya.\n\n\n8. Kurang Cengkaman, Jarak Berhenti Bertambah\n\n\nBrek pad yang sudah rosak atau haus tidak lagi dapat memberikan prestasi yang optimum \u2013 ia sekali gus menyebabkan anda tidak lagi dapat memperlahankan kenderaan dengan cepat semasa anda membrek. Cengkaman yang kurang ini juga mengakibatkan\n jarak berhenti bertambah\n. Jika anda mengesan tanda-tanda ini, segera lakukan pembaikan untuk memastikan keselamatan anda dan penumpang sentiasa berada dalam keadaan baik.\n\n\n9. Kereta Lari ke Kiri atau Kanan Semasa Membrek\n\n\nSelain itu, tanda-tanda lain yang biasa berlaku menandakan masalah brek ialah kenderaan lari atau senget ke kiri atau kanan semasa membrek. Sekiranya kereta lari atau senget semasa membrek, ia menandakan masalah pada salah satu daripada dua brek hadapan seperti rotor yang tidak sejajar atau isu aliran bendalir. Masalah ini sekali gus menyebabkan satu bahagian brek menerima tekanan yang lebih tinggi berbanding bahagian brek yang lain.\n\n\nBiasanya, anda tidak mengesan tanda-tanda ini semasa pada kelajuan rendah \u2013 ia hanya jelas terasa semasa anda membrek dengan kuat pada kelajuan tinggi. Meskipun isu ini nampak seperti biasa, namun jika dibiarkan, ia boleh menyebabkan kerosakan komponen brek dengan lebih cepat dan menyebabkan brek pad haus secara tidak sekata.\n\n\n\n\nKomponen Brek Kereta: Minyak Brek Kereta, Brek Pad, Kaliper dan Lain-lain\n\n\nSistem brek kereta secara amnya terdiri daripada beberapa komponen penting yang memainkan fungsi dan peranan yang tersendiri. Jika komponen ini tidak diselenggara dengan baik, ia boleh meningkatkan kos perbelanjaan anda disebabkan oleh kos pembaikan yang menjadi lebih mahal. Kebanyakan sistem brek kereta dilengkapi dengan dua jenis sistem brek \u2013 cakera brek (\ndisc brakes\n) atau brek dram (\ndrum brakes\n).\n\n\n1. Brek Dram vs Cakera Brek\n\n\nTidak kiralah sama ada kenderaan anda menggunakan cakera brek atau brek dram, kedua-dua jenis brek kereta ini mempunyai kelebihan yang tersendiri. Anda boleh rujuk perbezaan brek dram vs cakera brek di bawah untuk info lanjut:\n\n\nBrek Dram\n\n\nSecara amnya, brek dram lebih terdedah kepada risiko haus lebih cepat berbanding cakera brek lebih-lebih lagi jika digunakan lebih kerap. Brek dram juga dikatakan memiliki permukaan yang lebih lebar dan biasanya digunakan pada kenderaan berat atau besar seperti bas dan trak. Permukaan yang luas ini juga menghasilkan daya geseran yang lebih kuat yang berupaya menghentikan kenderaan berat dengan selamat. Brek dram direka khusus untuk ketahanan \u2013 ia boleh bertahan sehingga melebihi 150,000 km jika tiada masalah serius.\n\n\nTidak seperti cakera brek yang menggunakan brek pad, brek dram dilengkapi dengan \nbrake shoes\n \u2013 meskipun brek jenis ini lebih tahan, komponen seperti\n brake shoes\n perlu digantikan secara berkala. Jika anda mengesan sebarang gegaran semasa memandu atau mengesan bunyi yang kuat semasa anda membrek, berhentikan kenderaan anda di bahu jalan. Ia merupakan petanda pembaikan brek perlu dilakukan.\n\n\nCakera Brek atau Rotor Brek\n\n\nCakera brek atau rotor brek pula biasanya digunakan pada kenderaan yang lebih kecil seperti kereta dan motosikal. Ia mempunyai permukaan yang lebih kecil berbanding brek dram \u2013 dilengkapi dengan brek pad yang lebih tebal untuk menghasilkan geseran yang lebih kuat untuk menghentikan kenderaan yang bergerak laju. Biasanya, brek pad yang mula menipis atau haus akan menghasilkan tanda-tanda tertentu. Anda disarankan untuk segera tukar brek pad sekiranya anda mengesan sebarang kerosakan pada brek pad kereta untuk keselamatan anda.\n\n\nJika anda mengesan stereng kereta atau kenderaan anda bergoyang atau bergetar semasa anda menekan brek, ia mungkin berlaku disebabkan oleh ketebalan rotor brek yang tidak sekata. Jangka hayat cakera brek adalah berbeza, biasanya sekitar 50,000 km hingga 120,000 km atau mungkin lebih bergantung pada tabiat pemanduan.\n\n\n2. Brek Pad\n\n\nSecara amnya, brek pad merupakan salah satu komponen penting dalam cakera brek \u2013 brek pad berfungsi memperlahankan atau memberhentikan kenderaan apabila brek pad menekan cakera brek atau rotor brek pada setiap sisi. Brek pad terletak dalam kaliper brek dan diaktifkan oleh piston brek. \nJangka hayat\n brek pad biasanya bergantung pada kualiti brek pad yang digunakan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDi Malaysia, brek pad organik lebih banyak digunakan. Brek pad jenis ini dijual pada harga yang murah dalam pasaran, namun begitu ia tidak tahan lama;\n\n\nBrek pad \nlow metallic\n pula menghasilkan bunyi yang bising, namun dikatakan mempunyai tempoh ketahanan yang lebih lama berbanding brek pad organik;\n\n\nSelain itu, brek pad \nsemi-metallic\n dikatakan mempunyai ketahanan yang tinggi, namun masih terdedah kepada risiko haus dalam tempoh masa tertentu;\n\n\nBrek pad jenis seramik merupakan jenis brek pad paling tahan lama dan paling kurang haus. Namun begitu, harganya lebih mahal berbanding jenis brek pad lain dalam pasaran.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFaktor Mempengaruhi Ketahanan Brek Pad Kereta\n\n\nSecara purata, brek pad kereta boleh bertahan sehingga 80,000 kilometer atau mungkin lebih bergantung pada tabiat dan jarak pemanduan. Namun begitu, faktor ketahanan ini juga boleh dipengaruhi oleh faktor-faktor lain seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLokasi Pemanduan \u2013 Pemanduan di jalan raya biasa terdedah kepada risiko brek pad haus yang lebih tinggi berbanding pemanduan di lebuh raya. Pemanduan di bandar misalnya menyebabkan kereta perlu berhenti lebih banyak di lampu isyarat, bulatan atau semasa trafik sesak.\n\n\nBerat Kenderaan \u2013 Bilangan penumpang yang ramai contohnya boleh mempengaruhi berat sesebuah kenderaan. Ia secara tidak langsung menyebabkan semakin tinggi tekanan yang perlu dihasilkan untuk kereta berhenti sepenuhnya.\n\n\nJarak Perjalanan dan Penggunaan \u2013 Brek pad juga terdedah kepada risiko haus yang lebih cepat sekiranya melibatkan pemanduan jarak jauh. Dalam erti kata lain, semakin jauh jarak perjalanan, semakin kerap brek pad digunakan sekali gus semakin cepat brek pad haus.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Kaliper Brek\n\n\nKaliper brek menempatkan brek pad, piston brek dan minyak brek \u2013 ia merupakan komponen penting dalam sistem brek yang berfungsi menghasilkan geseran bagi memperlahankan rotor atau cakera brek kenderaan anda. Jangka hayat kaliper brek biasanya bergantung pada kekerapan penggunaan kereta anda. Namun begitu, ia dikatakan boleh bertahan lama asalkan aspek penyelenggaraan brek sentiasa diberi perhatian. Anda disarankan untuk sentiasa memeriksa kaliper dan keseluruhan sistem brek kereta anda setiap 20,000 km.\n\n\n4. Piston Brek\n\n\nPiston brek menekan brek pad untuk menghasilkan geseran pada rotor brek atau cakera brek. Ia terletak dalam kaliper brek dan diaktifkan oleh minyak brek. Jangka hayat piston brek adalah sama seperti kaliper brek \u2013 ia boleh bertahan lama asalkan aspek penyelenggaraan tidak diabaikan. Brek kereta melekat atau minyak brek kereta bocor merupakan antara tanda piston brek kereta rosak dan perlu digantikan.\n\n\n5. Minyak Brek\n\n\nSecara amnya, minyak brek mengaktifkan piston brek yang kemudiannya menekan brek pad bagi memperlahankan kenderaan. Jika minyak brek tidak mencukupi, piston brek tidak akan diaktifkan sekali gus menjejaskan prestasi brek pad. Minyak brek direka untuk bertahan dengan suhu enjin yang panas. Namun begitu, paras minyak brek boleh menurun dari semasa ke semasa. Anda disarankan untuk menggantikan minyak brek baharu setiap setiap dua tahun, bergantung pada keperluan anda. Anda mungkin perlu menyelenggara minyak brek jika terdapat sebarang masalah kebocoran pada \nbrake line \u2013\n\u00a0rujuk manual pemilik untuk info lanjut.\n\n\nHarga Minyak Brek Kereta\n\n\nKebanyakan kereta moden menggunakan minyak brek DOT 3. Namun begitu, penggunaan teknologi moden dalam kebanyakan kereta moden hari ini seperti kawalan kestabilan, brek kecemasan automatik dan sebagainya, minyak brek DOT 4 kini semakin banyak digunakan. Minyak DOT 5 pula mengandungi silikon yang tidak menyerap air \u2013 sesuai digunakan oleh pemilik kereta klasik untuk memanjangkan jangka hayat kereta.\n\n\nUmumnya, DOT yang lebih tinggi boleh mengawal kelembapan dalam suhu tinggi dengan lebih baik. Oleh sebab itu, kebanyakan kereta berprestasi tinggi dan lebih lasak menggunakan minyak brek DOT 5.1. Harga minyak brek DOT 3 dijual pada harga RM10, manakala minyak brek DOT 4 dijual pada harga RM12 (350 ml) dan RM21 (800 ml) dalam laman web jualan dalam talian. Namun begitu, harga ini mungkin berbeza bergantung pada jenama dan jenis minyak brek yang digunakan.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nApa Berlaku Jika Minyak Hitam Tidak Ditukar? 5 Tanda Tukar Minyak Hitam Kereta Yang Anda Perlu Tahu\n\n\n\n\nPerkara Mempengaruhi Jangka Hayat Brek Kereta\n\n\nSecara amnya, tabiat pemanduan mempengaruhi secara langsung jangka hayat brek kereta anda. Carsome menyenaraikan tips yang boleh membantu meningkatkan tempoh penggunaan brek kereta anda:\n\n\n1. Pemanduan di Bandar vs Pemanduan di Lebuh Raya\n\n\nPemanduan di jalan raya boleh memendekkan jangka hayat brek kereta dengan lebih cepat berbanding pemanduan di lebuh raya. Ini kerana, penggunaan brek adalah lebih kerap semasa pemanduan di jalan raya biasa disebabkan oleh trafik, lampu isyarat dan sebagainya. Jika boleh, lakukan \ncarpool\n atau elakkan melalui jalan dengan lampu isyarat yang banyak. Malah, anda juga disarankan untuk sentiasa periksa kereta anda secara berkala untuk mengelakkan kerosakan dan kos pembaikan yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\n2. Elakkan Menekan Brek Secara Mengejut\n\n\nTabiat menekan brek secara mengejut akan menghasilkan lebih banyak haba untuk anda memberhentikan kereta anda. Haba yang tinggi akan menipiskan atau menghauskan brek pad dengan lebih cepat. Selain itu, anda juga mungkin terdedah kepada \nrisiko kemalangan langgar belakang\n. Amalkan jarak pemanduan yang selamat semasa memandu, tekan pedal brek dengan perlahan sebaik sahaja anda melihat kenderaan di hadapan memperlahankan kenderaan.\n\n\n3. Tabiat Pemanduan yang Agresif\n\n\nMemandu secara melulu dan terburu-buru juga boleh menyebabkan brek kereta rosak dengan lebih cepat. Ini kerana, anda cenderung untuk menekan brek secara kuat dan mengejut lebih-lebih lagi sekiranya anda mengekori kenderaan di hadapan dengan rapat. Tabiat menekan brek dengan kuat dan tidak cermat perlu dielakkan. Perbuatan ini juga boleh memberi kesan terhadap tayar kereta dan boleh meningkatkan penggunaan bahan api.\n\n\n4. Tidak Alihkan Kaki dari Pedal Brek\n\n\nTidak mengalihkan atau meletakkan kaki pada pedal brek sepanjang perjalanan merupakan salah satu tabiat buruk yang perlu dielakkan. Tabiat ini boleh menyebabkan brek pad lebih cepat haus. Selain itu, ia juga menyebabkan brek menghasilkan lebih banyak haba tambahan yang berpotensi merosakkan brek dengan lebih cepat.\n\n\n5. Keluarkan Kasut, Barangan Tidak Perlu daripada Kereta Anda\n\n\nDi Malaysia, selain untuk memudahkan pergerakan, kereta juga digunakan untuk menyimpan barangan seperti kasut, buku, peralatan sukan dan sebagainya dalam bonet kereta. Jangan bebankan kereta anda dengan barangan-barangan yang tidak perlu \u2013 keluarkan daripada bonet kereta jika tidak digunakan. Berat kenderaan yang berlebihan boleh menyebabkan penggunaan petrol yang lebih tinggi dan meningkatkan tekanan pada brek. Ia sekali gus menyebabkan brek pad haus dengan lebih cepat berbanding penggunaan biasa.\n\n\nPenjagaan dan penyelenggaraan brek kereta secara berkala penting bagi memastikan persekitaran dan pemanduan yang selamat semasa berada di jalan raya. Malah, pengetahuan sebegini boleh membantu mengurangkan risiko kerosakan brek dan menjadikan pemanduan anda lebih selamat dan selesa.

Anda mula cari punca yang buatkan hidung anda berasa tak selesa hari itu, bau busuk. Bau busuk dalam kereta ini jangan dibuat main, ia boleh rosakkan mood seseorang pada hari itu!\u00a0\n\n\nPuas dah anda cari \u2013 bawah kerusi, celah kerusi, atas lantai, dalam but kereta. Tapi anda langsung tak jumpa. Kadang-kadang bau itu bukanlah bau bangkai tapi bau hapak yang tidak menyenangkan.\u00a0\n\n\nSebenarnya ada banyak punca yang menyebabkan kereta anda berbau busuk. Puncanya mungkin datang daripada punca yang paling anda takkan sangka! Oleh itu, kami akan berkongsi tips dan cara untuk elakkan bau busuk dalam kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n1. Bersihkan Atau Tukar Karpet Kereta\u00a0\n\n\nMungkin antara punca kereta anda berbau busuk dan tidak menyenangkan adalah berpunca daripada karpet kereta anda. Tanya diri anda sendiri. Bila kali terakhir anda cuci kereta anda? Lagi sekali, sambil pandang karpet kereta anda \u2013 bila kali terakhir anda tukar karpet anda?\u00a0\n\n\nKarpet yang jarang dicuci boleh mengumpulkan kekotoran daripada kaki mereka yang memasuki kereta anda. Termasuklah anda sendiri! Juga, apabila anda makan, sisa makanan akan terjatuh ke atas karpet. Kalau tidak dicuci, sisa makanan tersebut boleh menyebabkan bau busuk.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSangat-sangat disarankan untuk anda mencuci karpet kereta anda sekurang-kurangnya seminggu sekali. Keluarkan daripada kereta anda, kibas-kibaskan untuk buang segala kekotoran yang ada dan basuh dengan air yang bersih. Jemur hingga kering dan karpet anda boleh digunakan kembali. Atau anda boleh pergi ke mana-mana pusat cucian kereta untuk cuci karpet kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk penukaran karpet pula, anda boleh tukar karpet kereta setiap tiga hingga lima tahun.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Servis Penyaman Udara Mengikut Jadual\n\n\nKadang-kadang kereta berbau busuk ini terjadi apabila anda pasang penyaman udara anda. Bau yang keluar daripada saluran udara tu, fuh! Pastinya perjalanan anda tidak akan selesa dengan bau sebegitu.\u00a0\n\n\nOleh sebab itulah, servis penyaman udara adalah perkara yang anda jangan lupa untuk buat. Setahun sekali saja dan jadual servis juga telah ditetapkan oleh pengeluar kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKenapa kena servis penyaman udara? Dalam saluran penyaman udara, ada bermacam unsur dan benda kotor yang terkumpul kerana ia menyedut udara daripada luar. Unsur seperti spora kulat, habuk, dan bendasing lain boleh menyebabkan kereta anda berbau busuk.\u00a0\n\n\nTetapi kalau kereta anda berbau busuk jika penyaman udara dipasang, adalah lebih baik untuk anda terus ke pusat servis untuk diperiksa. Takut lama-lama kalau dibiarkan, bau itu akan diresapi oleh kerusi kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Pasang Perangkap Lipas\n\n\nTipulah kalau anda kata anda tak pernah makan dan minum di dalam kereta anda. Lagi-lagi dalam perjalanan yang panjang, snek itu wajib. Tak salah kalau anda nak makan dalam kereta tetapi anda kena berhati-hati.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau dah makan, mestilah akan meninggalkan sisa. Walaupun satu habuk, ia akan terbiar lama sebelum dibersihkan. Sisa makanan ini sebenarnya boleh menarik perhatian serangga untuk masuk ke dalam kereta. Serangga apa? Lipas.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nLipas ini serangga yang cukup licik. Ia akan bersembunyi dalam ceruk yang anda takkan boleh jumpa atau capai. Kadang-kadang anda dah puas cari tapi tetap tak jumpa. Paling teruk tentang lipas selain daripada apabila ia terbang? Ia boleh mengeluarkan bau yang busuk apabila ia membiak di dalam kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\nCara mudah? Anda boleh beli perangkap lipas. Anda cuma perlu pasang dan biarkan di dalam kereta untuk semalaman hingga beberapa hari. Buat untuk beberapa kali hingga semua lipas telah berjaya dihapuskan.\u00a0\n\n\nAnda boleh dapatkan atau beli perangkap lipas di mana-mana pasar raya ataupun klik saja \nDI SINI\n.\n\n\n4. Jangan Merokok\u00a0\n\n\nTabiat yang biasa dilihat dalam kalangan pemandu Malaysia, tanpa mengira kaum dan jantina adalah merokok di dalam kereta. Merokok boleh meninggalkan kesan buruk, bukan sahaja kepada badan anda tetapi juga kepada kereta anda. Bau rokok yang kuat boleh meresap ke dalam fabrik kerusi kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nTabiat Unik Rakyat Malaysia Semasa Memandu di Jalan Raya\n\n\nTak cukup dengan itu, asap rokok juga boleh menyebabkan bahagian dalaman kereta anda menjadi kotor. Kalau anda nak merokok sekali pun, berhenti dahulu di mana-mana untuk merokok di luar kereta anda.\n\n\n5. Jangan Simpan Kereta Lama-lama\u00a0\n\n\nAda di antara anda yang memiliki lebih daripada dua buah kereta dan anda simpan kereta anda di dalam garaj atau tempat letak kereta. Awas, apabila anda masuk semula ke dalam kereta ini, bau busuk hapak dan kurang menyenangkan akan menyapa anda dahulu!\u00a0\n\n\nOleh sebab itu, tidak digalakkan untuk anda menyimpan kereta anda dalam tempoh masa yang lama. Lagi-lagi kereta tersebut tidak dibersihkan dengan betul sebelum disimpan. Segala sampah dan sisa di dalam kereta tersebut akan membusuk sepanjang ia disimpan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSesekali, keluarkan kereta anda untuk dibersihkan sekalipun tiada sampah yang ada di dalam kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda ada kereta yang tak lagi digunakan lagi-lagi kalau kereta moden, jual saja kepada CARSOME.

Antaranya:\u00a0\n\n\n1. Daun Pandan\u00a0\n\n\nMudah. Murah. Mesra alam. Daun pandan ini adalah pewangi semula jadi yang bukan hanya boleh digunakan untuk membuat pencuci mulut dan kuih, tetapi juga boleh dijadikan sebagai pewangi kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCuma perlu beli daripada kedai runcit atau minta (bukan curi ya!) daripada mana-mana jiran yang menanam tumbuhan ini. Ikat kemas-kemas dan letak di dalam kereta \u2013 seperti di dalam but, celah kerusi atau di dalam laci papan pemuka dan lain-lain tempat.\n\n\nOh ya, jangan lupa untuk buang daun pandan tersebut jika ia telah kering dan gantikan dengan daun baharu.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Soda Bikarbonat\u00a0\n\n\nBau busuk dan hapak dalam kereta ini berpunca daripada kerusi kereta yang telah menyerap bau. Jadi, antara tips yang mudah dan murah anda boleh gunakan adalah menggunakan soda bikarbonat.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCaranya? Taburkan saja soda bikarbonat di atas kerusi kereta anda. Biarkan seketika dan bersihkan soda yang telah ditabur. Anda boleh gunakan penyedut hampagas untuk membersihkan soda bikarbonat.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n3. Cuci Perinci atau \nDetailing \n\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk sesiapa yang tidak tahu apa itu cuci perinci atau \ndetailing\n ini, ia adalah satu proses mencuci kereta tetapi proses mencucinya lebih terperinci. Setiap ceruk kereta anda akan dicuci dengan teliti oleh pakar.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSetiap habuk akan dipastikan tidak wujud lagi selepas proses cuci perinci ini. Kereta anda kelihatan seperti baharu!

The government has allocated a total of RM332.1 billion for Budget 2022, the largest in history.\n\n\nIn line with the theme of recovery and stimulus, the automotive sector is also included in the raft of initiatives to incentivize and strengthen the industry, as well as encourage demand from consumers.\n\n\nElectrifying Malaysia\u2019s Roads: EVs to be Tax Free\n\n\nThe big automotive headline in Budget 2022 is the focus on electric vehicles (EVs). The Government is focusing on EVs as a means to minimize air pollution and be carbon neutral by 2050, while encouraging development of the local EV industry.\n\n\nThe Tesla Model 3\n\n\nThe following items apply to EVs under Budget 2022:\n\n\n\n\nFull exemption on import duty, excise duty and sales tax for EVs (both imported and locally assembled).\n\n\nRoad tax exemption of 100% for EV owners.\n\n\nTax relief of up to RM2,500 for purchase, installation, and rental of EV charging facilities (including subscription to EV charging).\n\n\n\n\nThis means that fully imported EVs like the \nTesla Model 3\n, the Nissan Leaf, and even Porsche\u2019s monstrous Taycan will be import tax free and road tax free starting next year. With this, it is expected that EV adoption will rise, as well as spurring EV manufacturers to set up manufacturing operations in Malaysia.\n\n\nThe EV incentives will run from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2023 at the earliest.\n\n\nRevitalizing the Automotive Sector: SST Exemption on New Cars Extended\n\n\nWith the automotive sector grinding to a halt during the lockdowns this year, the Government is looking at rejuvenating this key sector of the Malaysian economy.\n\n\nTo that, it has also proposed that the sales tax (SST) exemption on passenger cars (including MPVs and SUVs) be extended to 30 June 2022.\n\n\n\n\nThe SST exemption extension uses the same terms \nas those first introduced\n under the PENJANA and PEMERKASA+ stimulus packages, which are as follows:\n\n\n\n\n100% exemption for locally-assembled and completely-knocked-down (CKD) cars.\n\n\n50% exemption for new and reconditioned completely-built-up (CBU) cars.\n\n\n\n\nMalaysian Automotive Association (MAA) president Datuk Aishah Ahmad \ntold the New Straits Times\n that the SST exemption is a welcome move to stimulate the sector, helping total industry volume (TIV) to bounce back to the pre-Covid level of 600,000 units. Nevertheless, these efforts could be hampered by the worldwide semiconductor shortage that has caused production delays.\n\n\nUpgrading Roads and Key Infrastructure\n\n\nTo increase the mobility of Malaysians, the Government has also proposed a set of measures to develop roads, especially in rural areas with a focus on Sabah and Sarawak. Major highway projects will also be given priority.\n\n\n\n\nThe following are the allocations put forward for road infrastructure in Budget 2022:\n\n\n\n\nRM1.5 billion to implement rural and inter-village road projects spanning 519 kilometers that will benefit over 130,000 people.\n\n\nRM3.5 billion for the construction of the Pan Borneo Highway and Central Spine Road, including immigration access points on the Pan Borneo Highway for an anticipated increase in border traffic following Indonesia\u2019s proposal to move its capital to Kalimantan.\n\n\n\n\nThe focus on rural roads should give Malaysians living in these areas better access to facilities and commercial opportunities, while better connecting rural and urban areas for greater economic benefits.\n\n", "Devan S\nDevan believes written content is here to stay despite our depleting attention span and the rise of short videos.

That\u2019s the magic word that every car buyer wants to hear after sending out their loan application. But what happens when you realize that the monthly installment for your dream car might be a bit too much than what you can chew?\n\n\nRecently, netizens were in for a shock when a man claimed that his loan application for the new Perodua Alza has been approved with a monthly installment of more than RM900, despite his monthly earning of RM1,500. That\u2019s a whopping 60 percent expense for his car installment!\n\n\nWhen your car installment takes away more than 30 percent of your income, it\u2019s definitely going to strain your financial budget. Here are some tips to help you budget for your car\u2019s monthly installment.\n\n\n\n\nPrepare a Large Deposit\n\n\nA large deposit equals a lower monthly installment, so if you are able to put down at least 20 percent into your down payment, it will considerably lower your future monthly installment since you will end up applying for a lesser loan amount.\n\n\nFor example, let\u2019s say you\u2019re interested in buying the new Perodua Alza 1.5L AV D-CVT. According to the official listing on \nPerodua\u2019s website\n, the car costs RM75,500. If you put down 10 percent for your deposit \u2013 RM7,550, with a loan tenure of 7 years and an interest rate of 3.5 percent, your monthly payment would be RM1,007.\n\n\nNow, if you put down 20 percent for your deposit \u2013 RM15,100, with a loan tenure of 7 years and an interest rate of 3.5 percent, your monthly installment would drop to RM895. That\u2019s a saving of RM112 in your car installment per month.\n\n\nThe 20/7/20 Rule to Ensure a Manageable Car Installment\n\n\nAnother way to budget for your car\u2019s monthly installment is by following the 20/7/20 rule of thumb when deciding the best way to fit a car purchase into your monthly budget.\n\n\nThis is how the 20/7/20 rule works:\n\n\n\n\nPay a deposit of 20 percent: \nThe usual deposit rate when you buy a car is 10 percent, but if you can put down 20 percent into your deposit, you will end up with a much lower monthly installment.\n\n\nSeven year loan tenure:\n A nine year loan tenure looks like a great deal but when you add up the interest, you are actually paying more than you should for the car. It is best to stick with a loan tenure of seven or five years if your budget allows it.\n\n\nLimit the installment to 20 percent of your monthly salary: \nMake sure the\n \nmonthly installments does not exceed a fifth of your total income. This is important not only for your financial health but also for your credit score.\n\n\n\n\nTo clearly understand this ruling, we will take a look at the financing option for a used\n \n2015 Perodua Alza SE 1.5\n from Carsome which is priced at RM46,400. With a deposit of RM9,253 that covers 20 percent of the total price of the car plus a seven-year loan, you will end up with a monthly installment of only RM551.\n\n\n\n\nIf you earn RM3,000 per month, setting aside 20 percent of your salary means you will end up with RM600 and this is more than enough to cover your car\u2019s monthly installment plus you\u2019ll have extra cash that you can set aside for your car\u2019s other expenses such as maintenance, insurance, or road tax.\n\n\nDon\u2019t Forget the Add-Ons\n\n\nOwning a car means you also have to consider additional ongoing expenses, aside from the monthly installment that you have to serve \u2013 such as maintenance, insurance, and road tax.\n\n\nMost of the time, people tend to overlook this part of car ownership and it usually catches them by surprise when the time comes to pay it off.\u00a0\n\n\nRoad Tax Renewal\n\n\nIn order to drive your car on the road legally, it needs to have a valid road tax. The amount that you have to pay for road tax differs depending on vehicle type, engine capacity, and whether it is a personal or commercial vehicle.\n\n\nYou may refer to the following table to find out how much the road tax costs for vehicles in Malaysia:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEngine Capacity (CC)\n\n\nBase Rate\n\n\nProgressive Rates (PER CC)\n\n\nRoad Tax Amount\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1,000 and below\n\n\nRM20\n\n\n\u2013\n\n\nRM20\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1,001 \u2013 1,200\n\n\nRM55\n\n\n\u2013\n\n\nRM55\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1,201 \u2013 1,400\n\n\nRM70\n\n\n\u2013\n\n\nRM70\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1,401 \u2013 1,600\n\n\nRM90\n\n\n\u2013\n\n\nRM90\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1,601 \u2013 1,800\n\n\nRM200\n\n\nRM0.40\n\n\nRM200 \u2013 RM280\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1,801 \u2013 2,000\n\n\nRM280\n\n\nRM0.50\n\n\nRM280 \u2013 RM380\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2,001 \u2013 2,500\n\n\nRM380\n\n\nRM1.00\n\n\nRM381- RM880\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2,501 \u2013 3,000\n\n\nRM880\n\n\nRM2.50\n\n\nRM882 \u2013 RM2,130\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3,001 and above\n\n\nRM2,130\n\n\nRM4.00\n\n\nRM2,134 and above\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRoad tax rates for personal vehicles in Peninsular Malaysia\n\n\nIt\u2019s a crime to drive around without a valid road tax and you have to renew it every year.

It is a legal requirement to have car insurance if you\u2019re planning to drive your car around. \nThere are various kinds of insurance policies that you can choose to buy, but it is advised for you to choose a comprehensive coverage as it usually offers the most protection.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you\u2019re not confident to choose an insurance provider on your own, let CARSOME help you find the right provider and policy with \nCARSOME Capital\u2019s motor insurance\n.

Not to mention you will also have to pay for the repairs on your own car and your own injury using your own money if you ever get into an accident.\n\n\nRead more\n:\n \nEverything about Car Insurance in Malaysia: From Special Perils Coverage to Premiums\n\n\nMaintenance Cost\n\n\nRoutine maintenance is essential to keep your car running smoothly and to ensure its durability in the long run. It also helps you avoid costly repairs in the case of a sudden breakdown. Here\u2019s how much the average cost of maintaining a car looks like.\n\n\nTake the new Perodua Alza for example. Based on Perodua\u2019s after sales service maintenance listing that can be found for the new Alza \nhere\n, the cost of service maintenance for the Alza is as follows:\n\n\n\n\n10,000KM\n \u2013 RM186.40\n\n\n20,000KM & 60,000KM\n \u2013 RM297.81\n\n\n30,000KM, 50,000KM, 70,000KM & 90,000KM\n \u2013 RM236.86\n\n\n40,000KM & 80,000KM\n \u2013 RM398.90\n\n\n100,000KM\n \u2013 RM633.61\n\n\n\n\nUsually, most manufacturers in Malaysia consider a yearly mileage of 20,000km to be within the normal driving rate. So, taking that into account, it will take you around 60 months to reach the 100,000 km maintenance mark.\n\n\nIf we divide the total cost of maintenance, which is RM3,160.87, by 60 months \u2013 you will have to save an additional of RM52.70 per month in order to be able to afford the maintenance cost of an Alza. Additionally, there is also the additional cost of replacing the wear and tear parts of the car that you need to consider such as the brake pads, tires, belting, and many more.\n\n\nIt is crucial to maintain your car because it prevents expensive repairs, safety hazards, and dangerous situations from happening. So, it\u2019s best to look for a car that is suitable with your paycheck or you will set yourself up for a financial crisis in the future.\n\n\nWith that, we hope this guide will serve you well in your attempt to budget for your monthly car installments before you proceed with your car purchase in the future. \n\n", "Haziq Asyraf\nA self-proclaimed foodie and gamer whose passion for food and games has recently extended to cars.", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Ada banyak perkara yang boleh kita nikmati pada bulan yang istimewa dan penuh rahmah ini seperti berbuka puasa dengan keluarga dan kawan-kawan, pergi ke bazar Ramadan, makan juadah berbuka, dan banyak lagi.\n\n\n\n\nTapi, ada satu benda yang kita semua mesti nak elak \u2013 tersangkut dalam kesesakan jalan raya bila nak balik rumah untuk berbuka. Di sini, kami senaraikan beberapa tip yang boleh anda ikuti supaya anda boleh buka puasa dengan mudah walaupun anda tersangkut di atas jalan raya.\n\n\nUbah Jadual Pemanduan Anda\n\n\nPada bulan Ramadan, perubahan dalam jadual pemanduan rakyat Malaysia adalah perkara biasa. Kebiasaannya, kita akan keluar ke pejabat di antara pukul 7 pagi ke 8 pagi dan waktu pulang ke rumah pula adalah di antara pukul 5 petang ke 6 petang.\n\n\nSemasa bulan puasa pula, jadual ini akan berubah sedikit di mana kebanyakan orang akan bergerak pulang lebih awal \u2013 antara pukul 4 petang hingga 5 petang, agar mereka sempat berbuka puasa di rumah, yang kebiasaannya jatuh antara pukul 7.15 malam hingga 7.30 malam.\n\n\n\n\nAtur perjalanan anda dengan sebaik mungkin supaya anda tidak terperangkap dalam kesesakan jalan raya semasa pulang ke rumah untuk berbuka puasa. Biasanya, waktu puncak trafik di bulan Ramadan adalah antara pukul 5 petang hingga 6 petang. Elakkan daripada memandu pulang pada masa ini atau anda mungkin terpaksa berbuka puasa di dalam kereta.\n\n\nSediakan Snek Dalam Kereta\n\n\nMelewatkan berbuka puasa adalah amalan yang tidak baik. Apabila anda tersangkut dalam kesesakan jalan raya, pasti sukar untuk anda berbuka, lebih-lebih lagi jika anda tak sempat beli juadah berbuka.\n\n\nSebab inilah anda perlu sediakan makanan ringan dalam kereta bila memandu pada bulan puasa. Cukup sekadar anda sediakan kekacang, buah-buahan kering atau bar tenaga dan air mineral untuk kecemasan.\n\n\nBerbuka puasa dengan makanan manis boleh memberi anda tenaga yang diperlukan untuk teruskan pemanduan dan anda boleh nikmati juadah berbuka bersama keluarga tercinta setelah sampai di rumah.\n\n\nDengarkan Azan\n\n\nDetik azan Maghrib berkumandang adalah waktu yang paling dinanti-nantikan pada bulan Ramadan, kerana ia menandakan waktu berbuka puasa sudah tiba. Kami pasti ramai yang lebih gemar mendengar lagu kegemaran masing-masing di Spotify, tapi anda mungkin akan terlepas azan kalau terleka.\n\n\nApabila waktu berbuka sudah hampir \u2013 dalam pukul 7 malam, kami sarankan agar anda mengubah siaran kepada stesen radio yang menyiarkan azan. Atau, anda juga boleh gunakan aplikasi seperti \nMuslim Pro\n yang mampu menyiarkan notifikasi apabila masuknya waktu solat.\n\n\nDapatkan Aksesori Kereta Yang Berguna\n\n\nApabila berbuka puasa dalam kereta, anda perlu pastikan yang kereta anda berada dalam keadaan bersih dan teratur. Ada pelbagai aksesori kereta yang dijual pada harga berpatutan yang boleh boleh anda gunakan.\n\n\nSebagai contoh, anda boleh dapatkan meja makan boleh lipat untuk kerusi belakang seperti dalam \npautan ini\n agar anda ada ruang yang sesuai untuk letak makanan dan minuman anda bila nak berbuka. Ia juga dapat mengelakkan serdak atau cebisan makanan daripada jatuh ke lantai kereta anda.\n\n\nAksesori lain yang boleh anda gunakan adalah tong sampah kecil seperti dalam \npautan ini\n yang boleh membantu anda mengumpulkan sampah dalam kereta selepas anda selesai makan.\n\n\nTips Pemanduan Selamat Jika Anda Berbuka Dalam Kereta\n\n\nBerhenti Di Tempat Yang Sesuai\n\n\nTak salah nak berbuka sambil memandu, tapi ia agak bahaya kerana anda tak boleh memberi perhatian sepenuhnya terhadap pemanduan apabila sedang makan. Lebih baik jika anda memberhentikan kereta anda di tempat yang selamat dan sesuai agar anda boleh berbuka dengan tenang.\n\n\nElakkan daripada berhenti di lorong kecemasan untuk berbuka kerana anda mungkin akan menghalang laluan tersebut. Lorong ini disediakan khas untuk kegunaan agensi penyelamat dan penguatkuasaan seperti ambulans, bomba, dan polis serta kenderaan yang rosak atau dalam situasi kecemasan, bukan untuk memberhentikan kenderaan sesuka hati.\n\n\nJika keadaan mengizinkan, cari stesen minyak atau kawasan rehat yang berdekatan dalam masa 15 hingga 20 minit sebelum masuk waktu berbuka. Ini membolehkan anda berbuka dengan tenang dan juga mendapatkan rehat yang cukup sebelum menyambung semula perjalanan anda.\n\n\nDapatkan Minuman Dalam Bekas Yang Sesuai\n\n\nSelepas seharian berpuasa, kita mesti nak minum secawan air yang manis dan sejuk semasa berbuka. Tetapi, jika anda minum air semasa memandu, ianya sangat merbahaya dan mungkin boleh menyebabkan kemalangan. Bayangkan kalau anda terlanggar lubang, habis satu kereta basah atau lebih teruk lagi, melekit, disebabkan air yang tumpah.\n\n\n\n\nJadi lebih baik jika anda dapatkan minuman dalam bekas kecil yang boleh dikendalikan dengan sebelah tangan bersama straw yang boleh diletakkan dalam pemegang cawan kereta anda. Dengan cara ini, anda boleh menikmati minuman anda tanpa perlu risau akan sebarang tumpahan.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\u00a0\nHentian Rehat Dan Rawat (R&R) Yang Wajib Anda Singgah Kalau Anda Balik Kampung Nanti!\n\n\nElakkan Makanan Yang Memerlukan Kutleri\n\n\nSatu lagi tips penting jika anda mahu berbuka dalam kereta adalah untuk mengelakkan makanan yang memerlukan kutleri untuk dimakan. Ini termasuklah makanan seperti sup, bubur, mee, dan lain-lain.\n\n\n\n\nSebab utama ia perlu dielakkan adalah kerana makanan tersebut mudah tumpah apabila dimakan dan kami yakin tiada sesiapa yang mahu habiskan masa berbuka mereka membersihkan sisa makanan dalam kereta.\n\n\nBagaimana pula dengan snek seperti coklat? Walaupun ia agak mengenyangkan dan boleh memberi tenaga tambahan untuk anda teruskan pemanduan, ia akan meninggalkan kotoran pada tangan, dan berisiko meninggalkan kesan pada setiap permukaan yang anda pegang. Ini akan mengganggu perhatian anda semasa memandu.\n\n\nSebaliknya, pilih makanan yang mudah untuk dimakan dan boleh dimakan menggunakan sebelah tangan seperti roti berkrim atau berinti, kekacang, dan juga buah-buahan kering. Apa yang penting, ia boleh memberi anda tenaga yang mencukupi untuk terus memandu.\n\n\nTerdapat banyak perkara yang boleh anda lakukan untuk berbuka puasa dengan mudah walaupun semasa terperangkap dalam kesesakan jalan raya. Tips mudah ini juga boleh membantu anda dalam perjalanan balik kampung atau pergi bercuti. Tambahan pula, kereta berkualiti yang berfungsi dengan baik juga penting untuk memastikan anda boleh sampai ke rumah dengan selamat untuk berbuka puasa.\n\n\nMencari Kereta Pramilik Berkualiti? Pilih CARSOME Certified!\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda merancang untuk \nmembeli kereta pertama\n atau \nnaik taraf kereta lama\n anda untuk menyambut Hari Raya yang akan datang, apa kata anda dapatkan kereta pramilik berkualiti daripada CARSOME?\n\n\nKereta CARSOME Certified telah diperiksa dengan teliti melalui pemeriksaan 175-titik kami untuk memastikan ia bebas daripada kerosakan akibat kemalangan teruk dan banjir.

The \nNissan Navara in question\n dons a snorkeling kit, possibly with run-flat tires as well as bulletproof panels and glasses. But the most outstanding part out of the whole truck is the armored bunker that is taxied in the rear cab, presumably where the former Prime Minister is being kept until he reaches Kajang Prison.\n\n\n\n\nThis convoy, which arrived at 8.30am, is believed to be carrying former-PM \n@NajibRazak\n. \npic.twitter.com/jHrP425BKY\n\n\n\u2014 TheVibes.com (@thevibesnews) \nAugust 25, 2022\n\n\n\n\nThis particular Nissan Navara sparked a little debate online \u2013 is it possible for us, normal civilians to \nown a bulletproof car\n? We conducted our own research to break it down.\u00a0\n\n\nCan You Own Them Legally?\n\n\nBefore we get into the specifics, let\u2019s talk about the two types of armored vehicles out there.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMilitary Tanks and Armored Personnel Carriers (APC)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTanks and armored vehicles fall into these categories. Unless you\u2019re \nArnold Schwarzenegger\n, you can\u2019t exactly own these vehicles in real life. These tanks and armored personnel carriers (APC) are strictly reserved for law enforcement and military use only in Malaysia. However, across the ocean, you can legally own them in the \nUnited States\n and the \nUnited Kingdom\n so long as you have the money and have its mounted weaponry deactivated by the government.\u00a0\n\n\nIn Malaysia, buying and owning an armored vehicle is obviously out of the question. Even with all the connections money can buy, there simply is no legal way to get ahold of a tank to drive on the roads. Even the prime minister himself had to lease one to be \nescorted in for assembly meetings\n. After all, this isn\u2019t a game of Grand Theft Auto.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlright, Tanks are Out of the Question. What Does the Civilian Market Have?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is where things get interesting. For the civilian market, there are a handful of options for one who wishes to own a bulletproof car. Yes, you did not read this wrong. Manufacturers like Land Rover, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Maybach, and Audi do offer some models outfitted with bulletproof features right off the assembly line.\u00a0\n\n\nRange Rover Sentinel\n\n\nSpecial models like the \nRange Rover Sentinel\n and the \nBMW X5 VR6\n can be had with bulletproof goodies that can withstand most small-arms munitions. Don\u2019t expect them to withstand an explosion though. However, most of these models tend to be sold and marketed in countries with high-crime rates like South America.\n\n\nOn the other hand, there are \nsmall companies\n that offer services in modifying any private vehicle of your choice with bulletproof amenities. Fancy having your Toyota Alphard or Vellfire with \nlaw-enforcement-like upgrades?\n These procedures usually involve retrofitting your car with kevlar panels, bulletproof mirrors, and tires. Similarly to built-in bulletproof cars from manufacturers, these panels can withstand small arms fire and are nimble enough to do a quick getaway when the situation calls for it.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat Are the Steps and Procedures to Get One?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor Built-In Bulletproof Cars\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe did some digging around with the legalities of owning bulletproof cars. And in our search, we\u2019ve spoken to a freelance runner that frequently deals with JPJ, MITI, and PUSPAKOM for paperwork-related matters about this. In short, you **\ncan just buy them just like how you would do with a gray import vehicle. This process involves getting the proper AP permit from MITI and having JPJ and PUSPAKOM inspect the vehicle before declaring it road worthy along with a plate number and road tax.\u00a0\n\n\nOn the other hand, remember about those luxury armored vehicles offered by manufacturers earlier? We have also discovered that Land Rover does indeed sell the \nRange Rover Sentinel \nofficially in Malaysia here. As long as you have the money, Range Rover will get everything down to the paperwork done for you. Though the vehicle and the whole procedure will cost you a pretty penny. You can\u2019t put a price on safety, right?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModifying your Own Private Vehicle\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf the current lineup of bulletproof vehicles offered in the market is not up to your tastes, you can always opt for \nmodifying your personal vehicle\n for the job. Did you know we have a handful of companies that offer such services? Our search has led us to \nSTEC Armour\n, Bulletproof Products, and Car Armouring Specialist. In fact, we have the opportunity to speak to Mr. Tomas, founder, and \nCEO of the company\n.\n\n\nAn Insight on Modifications for Bulletproof Cars\n\n\nIn our short interview, Mr. Tomas said that a special permit is required \u2013 Permit A from JPJ should the modifications done to the vehicle exceeds 5% of the original body weight. Nonetheless, Mr. Tomas vouches that his company\u2019s modifications do not exceed the imposed limit.\u00a0\n\n\nFor the market for bulletproof cars in Malaysia, Mr. Tomas said that the demand for these vehicles surges only when the economy is bad due to invisible enemies, business rivals, etc.\n\n\nCan You Sell Them Off?\u00a0\n\n\nIn relation to modified bulletproof cars, we\u2019ve also had the liberty of speaking to a runner who frequently deals in paperwork with JPJ and PUSPAKOM in addition to Mr. Tomas on the sale of his company\u2019s modified vehicles.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuilt-In Bulletproof Vehicles\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf the day comes when you wish to sell a bulletproof BMW X5 VR6 or a Range Rover Sentinel, there usually are no special permits involved in the process. According to the runner we contacted, you can just sell the car as it is. Provided, the buyer is aware of the extra features of the vehicle. No extra hassle is involved. The car is still going to cost a pretty penny though.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModified Bulletproof Vehicles\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegarding modified bulletproof vehicles, Mr. Tomas states that there should not be too much of a problem either. Similarly to Built-in Bulletproof Cars, they can be sold just as it is, and transfer the owner\u2019s new name on them like a normal car. Changing the plate number of a bulletproof car, however, gets complicated from here but that\u2019s a tale for another time.\u00a0\n\n\nThe only two exceptions involved in this process are the tinted windows which have to be removed as mandated by JPJ. Furthermore, if the vehicle has Permit A attached, it\u2019s up to the seller to verify with the customer should they accept the vehicle has bulletproof modifications done to it.\u00a0\n\n\nOn the other hand, if the new owner refuses to accept the changes but still wishes to purchase the vehicle, STEC Armour can disassemble its parts and revert the vehicle back to stock condition.\u00a0\n\n\nIs \nCARSOME\n able to take these cars in?\u00a0\n\n\nWe at CARSOME may not be able to take these vehicles in,\u00a0 but we can still take in your luxurious SUV and MPV\u2019s!

We Investigate Some Car Myths", "By\n \nDevan S", "24/12/2021", "\n\n\n\n\n", "The used car market is an opaque, unfamiliar world to many car buyers. As a result, plenty of urban myths and legends have sprung up around it. While some are based in fact, most are just plain wrong.\n\n\nWe debunk the most common used car myths here to increase your confidence in buying a used car.\n\n\n\n\nUsed Cars are Junk/Unreliable\n\n\nYes, there are people that sell their cars because they are too old. But many more people also sell their cars not because they are rotting hulks of metal, but because they may be upgrading to a larger car or downsizing to save costs. Modern cars are designed to run for years, so don\u2019t hesitate to consider a used car that may be a few years old.\n\n\nUsed Cars are Not as Safe as New Cars\n\n\nUsed cars have all the modern safety features such as side airbags, anti-lock brakes, and stability control. Many of these features are mandated by law to be included in newer cars. Safety has also been a selling point for manufacturers for many years, so unless you\u2019re buying a classic car that\u2019s decades old, you do not have to worry about safety.\n\n\nHigh Mileage Cars are Bad News\n\n\nWhile high mileage does equal more wear and tear, it doesn\u2019t mean that you should avoid the car. High mileage may indicate that the owner has done plenty of highway driving, which is much less stressful for the car than city driving. As long as the car is serviced regularly, a high mileage car will not give you issues.\n\n\nUsed Cars are Poor Value\n\n\nThis is a myth that is flat-out wrong. You may have heard that new cars lose value the minute they\u2019re driven off the lot. If anything, used cars represent great value because the first owner has taken the hit on depreciation, which can be up to 20% in the first year. This drop in value represents a great deal to you as a used car buyer.\n\n\n\n\nPrices of Used Cars Vary Wildly\n\n\nIt\u2019s true that depending on year, mileage, and condition, prices do vary between the exact same model of used car. However, with the advent of online used car platforms, consumers are now better informed and used car dealers know this. Thus, there is more incentive to standardize prices. Insurance companies also use a standard pricing based on year and model to calculate the price of insurance premiums.\n\n\nHaving said that, \nthe COVID-19 pandemic is driving the price of used cars up\n as demand for driving increases and new car supply is drying up.\n\n\nYou Can\u2019t Get Financing for Used Cars\n\n\nWhen it comes to auto financing, used cars aren\u2019t too different from new cars. Like all loans, finance providers will look at your income and credit score to determine your eligibility for a loan as well as the interest rate.\n\n\nCarsome offers financing for Carsome Certified cars through \nCarsome Capital\n, easing the financial costs of car ownership with loan tenures of up to nine years and a high financing margin.\n\n\nThere is No Warranty for Used Cars\n\n\nThis is not necessarily true. New cars come with a typical warranty of five years. If it is sold sooner than that, you can still take advantage of the leftover warranty period.\n\n\nBusting Myths When You Make it Carsome\n\n\nAt Carsome, we not only bust the myths, we also pull back the veil for full transparency about every car we sell.

Here Are Tips to Help You Decide on the Right Car", "By\n \nDevan S", "02/12/2022", "\n\n\n\n\n", "The economic situation in our country has a lot of us talking about what will happen \u2013 is a recession coming to Malaysia, or is it already here? Either way, many of us are feeling the pinch with rising costs of living and goods shortages, among other things.\n\n\nWhile a recession often means that we have to tie our purse strings and focus on our needs instead of wants, you might still find yourself needing to spend on big-ticket items such as a car. So let\u2019s look at what a recession means for us and how to buy a car in Malaysia during a \nrecession\n.\n\n\nWill We Have a Recession on Our Hands?\n\n\nFirst, let\u2019s get this out of the way \u2013 predicting a country\u2019s economic growth requires experts to analyze various factors including our GDP (gross domestic product) growth, interest rates, the housing market, and also international factors that affect trade. And even then, accurately predicting it in advance is still challenging. That\u2019s why the forecast of when a recession will hit ranges widely among economists.\n\n\nWhen we talk about a recession in Malaysia, many experts agree that we\u2019re unlikely to enter a real recession. This is due to the fact that Malaysia\u2019s GDP growth is significantly \ncontributed by the services and manufacturing\n sectors which are both more domestically oriented.\u00a0\n\n\nThe services sector constitutes the bulk of our economy and can buffer against turbulence in the global markets. Manufacturing, on the other hand, contributed to 24.3 percent of the GDP in 2020 making it a sector that\u2019s vital as a buffer and in helping the economy recover.\u00a0\n\n\nWhile the forecasts of if and when a recession will happen are mixed, many agree that we\u2019ll see an economic slowdown due to global geopolitical affairs (in Ukraine, just to name one), supply chain and labor issues, and a general global economic slowdown. What this all means is that Malaysia is more likely to experience slower economic growth or a mild recession, though it always pays to be prepared.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nLemon Law to Protect Used Car Buyers in Malaysia?\n\n\nWhat Happens during a Recession?\n\n\nA recession is defined as a period of economic decline during which trade and industrial activity are reduced. Though it\u2019s generally identified by a fall in GDP in two successive quarters, the length of the downturn can vary and also extend beyond two quarters.\u00a0\n\n\nSo what happens if a recession hits Malaysia? Here\u2019s what you can expect.\n\n\n\n\nIncreased unemployment:\n The unemployment rate tends to increase as companies cut back on hiring to reduce expenses. Companies may also limit working hours and OT (over time) hours.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHigher inflation:\n Increasing inflation often leads to a recession, and when that happens, you may find household items like groceries and clothes to be more expensive than before. However, a severe recession can lead to deflation and an eventual decrease in prices.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReduced consumer spending:\n With increased inflation, people will have less money for discretionary spending. This leads to reduced spending, especially on retail items like clothes and big-ticket items like cars and electronics.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReduced production:\n Along with inflation, the rising cost of raw materials usually causes businesses to reduce the production of goods. This can lead to lower exports and a further decrease in economic activity.\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nPrepare Your Car for the Rainy Season with a Car Rain-Repellent Coating\n\n\n\n\nSo, Should You Buy a Car in a Recession?\n\n\nThe simple answer is you should only spend what you can afford. Buying a car is a major financial commitment and whether you buy it in cash or with a loan, you should ensure that you have sufficient disposable income and savings to lean on in case the worst happens. After all, you wouldn\u2019t want to default on a car loan you can\u2019t afford and have the car repossessed.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nA Complete Guide on Buying or Selling Used Cars in Malaysia\n\n\nIf you don\u2019t need a new car right now or if you don\u2019t have enough disposable income and savings, it\u2019s best to put off buying a car until the economy recovers. Consider taking public transport, carpooling, or borrowing a car if you need to commute, at least until the economy picks up.\u00a0\n\n\nHowever, if you really require a car, choose one that you can comfortably afford. If you\u2019re wondering how to buy a car in case a recession hits Malaysia, here are some tips you can follow.\n\n\n\n\nChoose an affordable car with a low monthly payment and maintenance cost such as a \nPerodua Axia\n. If you require something more than a budget, compact car, consider pre-owned cars of the model that you\u2019re eyeing to get more savings on the car\u2019s price. Reputable platforms such as CARSOME have affordable pre-owned cars that are professionally inspected and refurbished to ensure their quality and safety.\n\n\nThe ideal car should also be economical to run, with good fuel economy. Compact cars such as the \nPerodua Bezza\n, \nProton Saga\n, and midsized cars like the \nToyota Vios\n, and \nHonda City\n are very practical while also being economical.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nIf you\u2019re buying a car in cash, make sure that you have at least a six month\u2019s \nworth of expenses in a\nn \nemergency fund saved up. Don\u2019t dip your hands into this fund to buy a car as it\u2019s only meant to help you when times get tough.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re taking a loan on the car, make sure that the monthly payment doesn\u2019t exceed 25 percent of your income. That being said, if you\u2019re purchasing it during a recession, consider getting a cheaper car that\u2019s easier to finance so you can save more for a rainy day.\n\n\nLook out for deals and rebates from automakers or dealerships. Most sellers often have special deals that coincide with festival seasons offering discounts and gifts such as free accessories. CARSOME also has \nmonthly deals\n that offer excellent savings, so be sure to check them out.\n\n\n\n\nGet Affordable, Quality Cars with CARSOME\n\n\nPurchasing a car can be stressful whether or not we\u2019re faced with a recession. That\u2019s why all cars at CARSOME come with affordable, fixed prices without any hidden fees. We\u2019ll also help you every step of the way including handling all the paperwork to help you get a good deal on your car loan.\u00a0\n\n\nWhen you buy from CARSOME, you also get a five-day money-back guarantee in case you change your mind and a one-year warranty to help you with major repairs in your car ownership journey.\n\n\nVisit \nCARSOME\n to find the right car today or download our app from the \nGoogle Play Store\n or \nApple App Store\n.\n\n", "Devan S\nDevan believes written content is here to stay despite our depleting attention span and the rise of short videos.

You\u2019ve got a nice place to stay, a new office to work in, and now you need a new means of traveling to help you navigate through your new life in the city.\n\n\nSince you\u2019ve just started working, you decide to go for a used car in order to get your dream ride at an affordable price. But buying a used car without doing proper research can sometimes end up as a nightmare.\n\n\nSo, here\u2019s what you can do to avoid making mistakes when buying a used car in the future.\n\n\nCar Nightmare 1: Falling in Love with a Car Out of Your Budget\n\n\nFalling in love with a car, at first sight, is easy but managing your budget to keep that car could be difficult, without proper planning.\n\n\nBefore buying a car, it\u2019s important to consider how much you can set aside for the monthly instalment while keeping in mind that you also need to save enough for insurance, gas, and maintenance.\n\n\nUsing the \n50-30-20 budgeting rule\n is an easy way to start where the rule of thumb when spending is as follows:\n\n\n\n\n50 percent\n should be spent on needs such as car payment, mortgages, bills, groceries, and the likes.\n\n\n30 percent\n should be allocated for wants such as going on vacations, new shoes, or new gadgets, to name a few.\n\n\n20 percent\n can be set aside for savings that you can spend on items such as car maintenance.\n\n\n\n\nThis way, no matter what car you choose, you wouldn\u2019t have to worry about going out of budget for maintenance and sudden breakdowns, as you have properly allocated your funds to ensure it is sufficient to cover such costs.\n\n\nSource: Tenor.com\n\n\nAnother way that allows you to sweep your dream ride off its tires without worrying about future payments is by putting down a large deposit. Consider paying at least 15 to 20 percent for the down payment and this will significantly lower your monthly payments.\n\n\nYou can also visit online platforms such as Carsome to use their car loan calculator to match your budget and predict your future payments so you can avoid a financial nightmare in the future.\n\n\nCar Nightmare 2: Getting Serious with a Platform That Doesn\u2019t Meet Your Needs\n\n\nOnce you have a budget, you should look for a platform that you can trust and will meet all your needs. It can be either a used car dealership or an online platform that sells used cars.\n\n\nIf you don\u2019t mind going on an adventure and meeting lots of people in your quest to find your dream car, a car dealership is an option.\n\n\nBut without doing proper research, it could be an overwhelming experience. Comparing car prices, negotiating with the sales advisor, inspecting the car yourself, and dealing with paperwork takes a lot of time and effort. Plus, you may not be sure if the car has been professionally inspected to ensure its roadworthiness.\n\n\nHowever, with online platforms such as Carsome, you can browse for quality used cars in the comfort of your own home. All Carsome Certified cars have passed a stringent 175-point inspection to ensure the cars listed are of high quality.\n\n\nTo top it off, you can test own a car with Carsome where you have a five-day money-back guarantee to test the car as your own, and if you don\u2019t like it, you can return it for a full refund. Plus, it is a hassle-free process where all documentation is handled by us and we will deliver the car right to your doorstep.\n\n\nSource: Giphy.com\n\n\nEven booking a test drive is easier with Carsome. All you need to do is head to our website, choose the car you want to test drive, and schedule a time at the nearest Carsome Experience Center. It\u2019s clear that online platforms provide you with a huge degree of freedom when buying a used car.\n\n\nCar Nightmare 3: Going Steady with a Problematic Car\n\n\nIt is important to ensure that the car you\u2019re planning to buy is high-quality to avoid the hefty costs of major repairs. The used car you\u2019ve been eyeing might have a nice exterior, but you must view the interior\u2019s condition as well. So, this is where the inspection report comes into play.\n\n\nWhen you\u2019re at the dealership, swooning over the handsome sales advisor is okay (we\u2019re joking), but don\u2019t let it distract you from going through the inspection report properly while checking the car for any damage that would cost you in the future.\n\n\nSource: Tenor.com\n\n\nYou could ask the sales advisor to help inspect the car, but they might not be well-versed with everything that should go into inspecting a car. Plus, you may not know the\u00a0right questions to ask about the car. Instead, bring along someone experienced who you can trust, like a family or friend, to help you out.\n\n\nHowever, with online platforms such as Carsome, only quality used cars that have passed our thorough 175-point inspection conducted by skilled professionals are offered to you.\n\n\nOn top of that, all Carsome car listings come with the full 175-point inspection report and feature close-up pictures as well, while some include a 360-degree view to ensure you have full transparency when you buy a car online with us.\n\n\nCar Nightmare 4: Missing Out on the Chance to Bond during a Test Drive\n\n\nYou might think that a car works fine as long as the engine is able to start. Relying on that factor alone is not adequate to determine if a car is working well.\n\n\nSource: Giphy.com\n\n\nIt is important to bring the car you plan on buying for a test drive. This way, you will be able to experience for yourself just how well the car runs. It also gives you the opportunity to find out if the car actually suits your driving style, and you can review the car\u2019s quality first-hand.\n\n\nA test drive also allows you to familiarize yourself with all features the car has to offer, along with how to use them properly. Ask questions and explore as much as you can about the car. The more you know, the fewer surprises you\u2019ll get down the road.\n\n\nRead: \nEverything You Need to Know About Test Driving a Car\n\n\nCar Nightmare 5: Lack of Proper After-Sales Support\n\n\nMany people disregard after-sales service as unimportant when purchasing a car. This is a common mistake that could lead to car ownership nightmares in the future.\n\n\nAfter-sales service, such as a servicing package or warranties, is important because it guarantees some sort of coverage if the car you\u2019ve purchased requires repairs. It is especially crucial when the damage affects major parts such as the engine, transmission, and frame since these parts are very costly to replace.\n\n\nAlthough some dealerships do provide after-sales service packages, they can be costly and you may not be able to find one that suits your needs. This is why Carsome offers after-sales service packages that are affordable to ensure your journey with our cars is roadworthy, always.\n\n\nAdditionally, Carsome offers a Carsome Promise that includes a one-year warranty and a five-day money-back guarantee.\n\n\nSource: Tenor.com\n\n\nWith unpredictable weather and traffic conditions all around, the importance of acquiring a good after-sales service package is high. Can you imagine losing your car to unexpected flood damage just days after purchasing your car? That\u2019s harsh.\n\n\nBuying a car online has a lot of benefits compared to the traditional way. It\u2019s faster since you can drive away with your dream car on the same day, or have it delivered to your home and the process is also hassle-free since all the paperwork is handled by us.\n\n\nNot to mention, Carsome offers a one-year warranty and a five-day money-back guarantee to provide you with peace of mind for your purchase!\n\n\nFor Peace of Mind, Just Make It Carsome\n\n\nIn a bid to improve the journey of buying used cars, Carsome offers a seamless service that makes it much easier for you to browse and buy high-quality used cars.

With the announcement of a new Perodua Axia for 2023, Perodua is packing this cute hatchback with more features than ever but that also comes with a higher price tag.\u00a0\n\n\nSo, how does it compare to the prior generation Axia from 2019? Let\u2019s find out.\n\n\n\n\nPrice Bump for the 2023 Perodua Axia\n\n\nInitial information for the 2023 Perodua Axia reveals that it will come in four variants \u2013 G, X, SE, and AV. That\u2019s two variants less than the \n2019 Axia\n. Curiously, the base E variant with the manual transmission has been dropped in the current brochure. The 2023 Axia G starts at RM38,600 followed by the Axia X at RM40,000, the Axia SE at RM44,000, and the Axia AV at RM49,500. That\u2019s a significant jump from the prices back in 2019 when the G was priced at RM33,490 and the AV at RM43,190.\n\n\nEngine & Performance\n\n\nPerodua\u2019s\n new Axia will be powered by a 1.0-liter EEV (energy efficient vehicle) engine that is most likely the same 1KR-VE three-cylinder naturally aspirated engine found in the 2019 Axia. It should also have a similar performance with 67 PS of power and 91 Nm of torque. The biggest change to come to the 2023 Axia is its new DNGA (Daihatsu New Global Architecture) platform which is lighter, with increased chassis rigidity giving it better handling and safety. The SE and AV variants now have Eco Idle and a Power mode which increases the engine\u2019s output response to provide better acceleration such as when overtaking on the highway.\n\n\n\n\nBetter Fuel Consumption with a New Transmission\n\n\nNew for 2023, the Axia is equipped with a D-CVT (Dual-mode continuously variable transmission), replacing the four-speed automatic transmission. This new \ntransmission\n is used in the latest Perodua vehicles including the \nAtiva\n, \nMyvi\n, and \nAlza\n. It\u2019s a split-gear CVT system that incorporates a gear drive into the CVT belt drive system to offer improved acceleration with less rubber band effect than other CVTs, improved quietness, and fuel efficiency.\u00a0\n\n\nIn fact, the fuel consumption of the 2023 Axia is rated at 25.3 km/L for the G and X variants, and up to 27.4 km/L for the SE and AV variants. That\u2019s an improvement over the outgoing Axia\u2019s fuel consumption of 22.5 km/L.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nPerodua: A Brief History of Malaysia\u2019s Largest Automaker\n\n\nExterior\n\n\nOn the exterior, the new \nPerodua Axia\n sports a more aggressive front fascia and more LED lighting. The X, SE, and AV variants now get LED headlamps while the base G variant still comes with halogen bulbs. Also new on the Axia SE and AV are LED daytime running lights. Electric folding side mirrors are now standard across the board as opposed to only being available on the SE variant onwards in the previous generation.\u00a0\n\n\nIn terms of color, the 2023 Perodua Axia adds a new shade called Coral Blue alongside the existing Granite Grey, Lava Red, Glittering Silver, and Ivory White. The keyless entry system on the new Axia now uses a touch electrostatic sensor instead of an actual button but it\u2019s still unclear if it\u2019ll be available on all variants.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nInterior\n\n\nInside, the 2023 Axia is more refined than its predecessor with the most outstanding features being a new seven-inch TFT MID (multi-info display) and a nine-inch touchscreen infotainment display on the AV variant. These are big upgrades compared to the previous Axia AV with its basic instrument cluster and smaller touchscreen infotainment display.\n\n\nThe G and X variants get a standard LCD MID, while the SE gets an LCD MID with a tachometer. If you want a touchscreen infotainment display on the lower variants, you\u2019ll be disappointed to know that they only come with a non-touchscreen radio. In terms of the seats, they are largely unchanged with fabric seats across the three lower variants and semi-leather seats on the AV.\n\n\nRead More: \nCARSOME\u2019s 6 Best Affordable Cars for College Students\n\n\n\n\nSafety Features\n\n\nCompared to the \n2019 Axia\n, the 2023 version comes with better \nsafety features\n across the board. For starters, vehicle stability control (VSC), and traction control (TRC) are now standard on all variants whereas it was previously unavailable on the Axia G. All variants now also get hill start assist (HSA), a new feature on the Axia.\u00a0\n\n\nThe 2023 Axia is also likely getting the full suite of \nPerodua Smart Drive Assist (PSDA)\n\u00a0 which includes Advanced Safety Assist (A.S.A.), Driving Assist, Parking Assist, and Headlamp Assist, though it\u2019s not clear on which variant. For reference, the 2019 Axia AV didn\u2019t come with the full suite but had A.S.A 2.0, pre-collision warning and braking with pedestrian detection, front departure alert, and pedal misoperation control.\n\n\nGet a Used 2019 Perodua Axia at a Bargain\n\n\nAlthough the 2023 Perodua Axia comes with a heftier price tag than the outgoing version, it\u2019s looking to bring a host of significant upgrades to the lineup. That being said, the previous generation Axia still offers excellent value especially if you\u2019re looking for a basic, economical car for commuting. In fact, you can get a \npre-owned Perodua Axia AV\n for less than RM40,000 on CARSOME.\n\n\nWhat\u2019s more, all CARSOME Certified cars are put through a stringent 175-point inspection and professionally refurbished to ensure top quality. They also come with a fixed price and no hidden fees, a five-day money-back guarantee, and a one-year warranty.\n\n\nFind your dream car on \nCARSOME\n today or download our app from the \nGoogle Play Store\n or \nApple App Store\n.\n\n", "Devan S\nDevan believes written content is here to stay despite our depleting attention span and the rise of short videos.

Back then, you\u2019re used to cruising around in a sporty and compact car but with the arrival of your third child recently, you realize that the time has come to upgrade your stylish ride into something more\u2026 family-oriented.\n\n\nAfter considering all your options, you decide to get a used family car to work around your financial situation. However, shopping for a family car can be a bit tricky if you\u2019ve only started learning the ropes of being a family man or woman.\n\n\n\n\nHere are some things you should consider when buying your first family car.\n\n\nPlan For the Future\n\n\nBefore going through your plan to buy a family car, you should map things out properly with your partner first. This is important to make sure the car you will be buying can fulfil all your family needs.\n\n\nFrom compact sport utility vehicles (SUVs) for small families to minivans that could transport a large family comfortably, there are plenty of choices around if you\u2019re looking for a family car.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re planning to add more children to the family in the future, getting a minivan or a seven-seater SUV would be the perfect choice. But if you\u2019re content with a maximum of three children, a compact SUV should be more than enough for you.\n\n\nOnce you\u2019ve got your choice of family car, you can work on allocating a budget for your purchase. There are a few things you can do to make allocating a budget a lot easier for you.\n\n\nOne of them is by sending your current car to be inspected by CARSOME so you can sell it off and use the money as capital for your future purchase. On top of that, you can also use the loan calculator feature in CARSOME\u2019s car listings to find a family car that suits your monthly payment budget.\n\n\nRead: \nMommyvan: Which 7 Seater Cars are Perfect for Families?\n\n\nThe Need for Child Car Seats\n\n\nMost people would think that child car seats follow the capacity of passenger seats in a car, but this is not the case. Although there are latches to hook in child car seats, not every seat in the car will have them.\n\n\n\n\nIt is important to check properly for seat latches, especially if you plan on adding more family members in the future. You never know if you might need to put three or more car seats at one time in the car.\n\n\nBesides latches, car seat fit is also an important factor to keep your eye out on when buying family cars. As your child grows, the size of the car seat used will increase and the position they\u2019re mounted in will change as well. It\u2019s best to check if there will be enough clearance to fit all the car seats you\u2019ll be using in the future.\n\n\nRead: \nTips on Buying a Car Seat \u2013 Safety, Types, Etc\n.\n\n\nCargo-On-The-Go\n\n\nAnother deciding factor in buying a family car is cargo. When you have babies or children, there are a lot of \u201cextras\u201d that you will need to haul around during travels to keep them comfy and safe. This includes strollers, toys, diaper bags, portable cots, and many more.\n\n\n\n\nIt is very important for you to look for a car that could fit these things that you will carry around with you. Ideally, a car with a minimum of 400 litres of boot space can fit a family of four or five comfortably. More space is definitely recommended if your family is large.\n\n\nHaving folding seats could also be a major plus point for the car you\u2019re about to buy. It could easily double or even triple the cargo space whenever needed.\u00a0\n\n\nOther than that, the availability of small storage spaces can also do wonders when it comes to stashing small items quickly. For example, cup holders could double as milk bottle holders for emergencies, under-seat spaces could be a place to quickly stash extra shoes or toys for your children during travels.\n\n\nComfort for the Little Ones\n\n\nLooking for comfort is a must when buying a family car. A comfy child will be at their best behaviour and you will also be able to avoid headaches and unwanted screaming during long-distance travels.\n\n\nA major comfort point to look out for when searching for family cars is the climate control function. Remember the time when you sat on a bus back then with your friends, and it was very hot since the air conditioning couldn\u2019t reach where you were sitting? This changes all that.\n\n\nA big car requires proper climate control capabilities to ensure every inch of the car is cool and comfortable. This way, everyone at the back will be able to feel the cool breeze of the air conditioning without having to fight for it.\n\n\nAnother comfort point you should consider is leather seats. Kids being kids, they will eventually spill or stain the seats with something. With leather seats, cleaning becomes easier and you also don\u2019t have to worry about ugly marks left behind when your kids get a bit too naughty!\n\n\nSafety Features\n\n\nWhen choosing a family car, it\u2019s very important to consider the safety features that it offers to ensure the car is suitable for your daily drive as well as \nbalik kampung\n trips with your family.\n\n\nMost cars these days are equipped with beefed-up safety technology that makes driving safer, so now is a great time to invest in a family car.\n\n\n\n\nSome important safety features that you should look out for include child safety locks, airbags (the more, the better), rearview cameras, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot warning, and the likes.\n\n\nOn top of that, you can also check out the safety rating of the car you\u2019re interested in at ASEAN NCAP\u2019s website \nhere\n. This allows you to ensure that the car you will be getting has the proper safety standards to keep you and your family safe on the road.\n\n\nRead: \nWhat To Look Out For in A Family Car\n\n\nMake It CARSOME for Peace of Mind\n\n\nIf you\u2019re set on getting a used car when buying your first family car, why not make it CARSOME?

So if we\u2019re buying preloved clothing, furniture and electronics, then why not buy \nused cars\n too?\n\n\nHere\u2019s some handy comparison between new cars and used cars for your comparison.\n\n\nThe Starter Car\n\n\nPerodua MyVi 1.5 AV\n\n\nCosting just over RM 52,000 brand new, a \nused Perodua Myvci 1.5 AV\n (2017 model) can be purchased under RM 39,000.

When you\n buy a used car \nat a starting rate of under RM 100,000 means as much as 50% savings, making it all that much more attainable for you to get a car that matches your profile.\n\n\nFamily- Friendly\n\n\nNissan Serena\n\n\n\n\nThe Nissan Serena is popular for its space, sturdiness and safety features, tagged at RM 120,000 brand new.

But never fear, these are easily solved with Carsome, where used cars go through a 175-point inspection and come with a 1-year warranty when purchased.

Suzuki made attempts to break into the passenger car market with several prototypes in 1937 but was thwarted by the Japanese government during World War 2. Since then, Suzuki has had profound success in the super-mini segment in Japan known as Kei cars. These cars are extremely popular in the Japanese market due to their small, nimble size for city drives.\n\n\nIn Malaysia, Suzuki has returned to the Malaysian market under Naza Eastern Motors after a seven-year withdrawal from the country.

This guide will help you prepare for the said situation mentally and monetarily so that you and your teen can choose the best car while strengthening your bond in the process!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTable of Contents\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo Buy a New or Used Car?\n\n\nDealership or Online?\n\n\nHow to make it Carsome?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo Buy a New or Used Car?\n\n\nThe first question anyone will ask themselves in the quest to buy a car for their teenager will most likely be, \u201cShould I buy a new or a used car?\u201d.\u00a0 Let\u2019s delve into this list to find out which one works best for you.\n\n\n1. Budget\n\n\nIt\u2019s important to set a budget that you\u2019re comfortable with as it will make it easier for you to choose a car for your son or daughter. With a set budget, you can easily shortlist the cars that you think would be suitable for your purchase and you can proceed to choose the car that is in line with your teenager\u2019s needs or preference.\n\n\nIn addition to that, a budget will help set a proper down payment for the car you\u2019re planning on buying and this will also provide some breathing room for future installments.\n\n\n\n\nSetting up a budget is easy. Here are some guidelines that you can use to set your spending limit:\n\n\n\n\nIncrease your deposit: \nWhen buying a used car, a larger deposit equals a lower monthly payment. Putting down at least 20 percent into your down payment will significantly lower your monthly payments in the future.\n\n\nLimit your monthly car expenditure:\n You should be able to live comfortably and meet your lifestyle needs after deducting your debt which includes the monthly repayment amount for the car. \nThe 50/30/20 budget method is a good rule to follow where your needs (which include car payments, utilities, loans) are 50 percent of your monthly income, while 30 percent should be your wants (shopping, dining) and 20 percent goes into your savings\n.\n\n\nShorten your loan term:\n Extending your loan term to nine years might seem like a great deal but when you consider the interest, you end up paying more than you should. It\u2019s best to go with a shorter loan term of five or seven years if your budget allows it.\n\n\n\n\n2. Financing\n\n\nOnce you have a budget, it is time to work out the financial aspect of owning a car. For this, it is better to have a thorough discussion with your teenager so that they can be prepared for what is coming in their future as a car owner.\n\n\nFor the sake of this guide, we will be looking at the financing option for two similar models \u2013 the brand-new Proton Saga 1.3L Premium AT and a used 2020 Proton Saga Premium 1.3L from Carsome.\n\n\nLet\u2019s say you have RM10,000 that you can fork out for the down payment and a monthly budget of RM500 for the monthly installment. The brand-new Proton Saga costs RM39,800.00. With a down payment of RM10,000 and five-year loan with 3.5 percent interest rate, you will end up with a monthly installment of RM583.58, as calculated \nhere\n.\n\n\nMeanwhile, the used 2020 Proton Saga Premium 1.3L can cost as low as RM35,200 on Carsome and with a down payment of RM9,973 plus a five-year year loan, you will end up with a monthly installment of only RM494.\n\n\n\n\nSo, it is RM583.58 vs RM494, which means you are paying 15 percent less! As the breadwinner of the family, you might be able to take on any of these payments, but if you\u2019re going to hand over this responsibility to your teenager once they become a working adult, this surely needs some consideration between the both of you.\n\n\n3. Maintenance\n\n\nAfter considering your ability to finance the car for your teen, the next most important thing that you need to look at would be the maintenance aspect.\n\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re going with a new car, you will be advised to maintain the car at authorized service centers only, to guarantee proper workmanship as well as to abide by the warranty.\n\n\nBut on the flip side, these authorized service centers limit your choices when it comes to maintaining the car. Bear in mind that maintenance at authorized service centers might be on the expensive side sometimes if you continue beyond your warranty period.\n\n\nMeanwhile, if you go for used cars, you are free to choose which workshop to send it for service. This works great if you already have a trusted workshop that you\u2019ve been working with, even more so if the workshop is close to home and it fits right in your monthly maintenance budget!\n\n\nTo top it off, you don\u2019t have to worry about calling any authorized centers if the car has a sudden breakdown. You can pull up mobile applications like Pomen on your smartphone and you have certified professionals coming to look at the car in just a few taps, anytime you want!\u00a0\n\n\nRead:\n \n5 Reasons Your Car Breaks Down & How to Get Help\n\n\n4. Safety\n\n\nWhen it comes to buying a car for a teenager, safety would be a major concern for parents. Needless to say, brand new cars are now equipped with a lot of safety systems and measures to ensure the well-being of the passenger, but it all comes with a price.\n\n\nFor example, let\u2019s look at the brand-new Proton Saga 1.3L Premium AT. At the price of RM39,800.00, it offers twin front SRS airbags, Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Traction Control System, Brake Assist, Hill Hold Assist, Front and Rear Parking Sensors, as well as a reverse parking camera, all covered by Proton warranty since they\u2019re brand new.\n\n\nAnd then we have the used 2020 Proton Saga Premium 1.3L, a similar car with similar safety specifications, that goes for only RM35,200 at Carsome. That\u2019s a saving of more than RM4,000 and Carsome also gives a one-year warranty if you buy a Carsome Certified car.\n\n\n\n\nDealership or Online?\n\n\nNow that you\u2019ve decided on which car you\u2019re going to buy for your teenager, it\u2019s time to decide on which route to choose.\n\n\nLooking for a Dealership\n\n\nIf you\u2019ve chosen to buy a new car, you might prefer to go to a dealership to seal the deal. Who wouldn\u2019t, right? They\u2019re usually located somewhere comfortable where friendly sales advisors help you with the car that you\u2019re planning to buy. It\u2019s great, only if you can find a dealership that meets all your needs.\n\n\nBut what happens when you don\u2019t? You might end up with less than exemplary service and if they don\u2019t have enough stock, you probably have to wait a few months or even a year to get the car you\u2019ve planned on buying.\n\n\nAlso, you\u2019re going to have to spend a lot of effort (and gas money) to settle the deal with a physical dealership that satisfies your requirements. No teenager would want to spend their day jumping from one dealership to another.\n\n\nNot to mention we\u2019re currently in a pandemic, so it\u2019s best to refrain from doing any excessive traveling.\n\n\nBuying a Car Online\n\n\nBuying cars online used to be just a dream, but not anymore! Online car platforms such as Carsome offers a convenient and trusted solution where you can browse for cars online.\n\n\nYou can even make a booking for a test drive (we do home test drives as well) by submitting your details and a Carsome Consultant will set it up for you. With only a few clicks, you can find all the cars you want in the comfort of your home, without having to leave your bed.\u00a0\n\n\nWhen you purchase the car online, paying for your purchase is easier as well, since Carsome supports various payment methods.\n\n\n\n\nRead: \nHere Are Carsome\u2019s Hassle-free Payment Methods\n\n\nHowever, a major concern when it comes to buying a car online is that you might be worried about not being able to physically inspect and interact with the car you\u2019ve chosen. Well, time to throw that concern away because Carsome listings provide a detailed report with clear pictures (some even come with a 360-degree view!) of the car you\u2019ve selected.\n\n\nTalk about convenience and full-on transparency!\n\n\n\n\nDecisions, Decisions\u2026\n\n\nWe hope this guide has helped you in coming to a proper decision when it comes to buying a car for your teenage son or daughter. Owning a car is a major step forward in the life of a teenager. As a parent, it is important for you to have a little talk with your teen first, before gracing them with a car to ensure they are ready to accept such responsibility.\u00a0\n\n\nOnce they understand the reality of owning a car, they could prepare themselves mentally and physically to become a proper car owner, and you would have one less thing to worry about in the future.\n\n\nJust Make It Carsome with an Unbreakable Promise\n\n\nIf you ever decide on getting a used car for your teenager, why not make it Carsome? With a huge inventory of quality used cars, it won\u2019t be difficult to find one that suits your teenager. On top of that, if you get a Carsome Certified car, you are guaranteed to get a ride that delivers the Carsome Promise.\n\n\nThis is our promise to you.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nFive-day money-back guarantee\n: If you buy a used car from Carsome and you happen not to like it, you can return it back to us within five days to get your full amount back. No questions asked!\u00a0\n\n\nProfessional inspection\n: All Carsome cars go through an inspection that covers 175 points to ensure it is free from major accidents, frame, fire, and flood damage.\u00a0\n\n\nOne-year warranty\n: Our journey with you does not stop after you buy a car. We will give you an extended warranty to ensure your vehicle is covered in your first year.\n\n\nFixed price\n: The price you see on the listing is the actual full price of the car with absolutely no hidden fees. We practice full transparency in our costs to ensure you know exactly what you are getting.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWith that, we do hope that this helps you make the right choice for your teen.

Hawaiian or Pepperoni? The eternal debate of automatic vs manual transmissions is still popular among the car community. We all know that manuals are a dying breed; what was once found in entry-level cars is slowly being phased out for the CVT transmission. Let\u2019s face it \u2013 manual transmissions will go extinct, but they won\u2019t be meeting the undertaker just yet. The stick shift still has one more thread keeping it alive \u2013 car enthusiasts.\u00a0\n\n\nI like a good manual car too. In fact, I would love to look forward to buying one just to relearn the stick shift again. However, buying a brand-new one may be a bit of a challenge. Take a look at all the car brands we have available in Msia, how many of them are offering a model with a manual gearbox from an official dealer? Fewer than eight. What about buying an old one? Older cars are too risky and a hassle to restore.\u00a0\n\n\nThe closest we can get to a reliable and relatively new stick shift car is a recond Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ, and even then, these cars still cost us a pretty penny. One cannot deny that driving in Malaysia is a pain in the butt with the number of traffic jams we deal with on a daily basis. To the brave few who still drive a manual in these jams, we salute your left leg for your bravery.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZBHolhCV5U\n\n\nI still remember following the release of the fifth-generation Toyota Supra. Back then, internet sleuths around the world started frothing at their mouths upon finding Toyota did not offer a manual transmission, not \nuntil years later\n. But can you blame Toyota/BMW\u2019s decision to do so?\n\n\nRead More: \nAuto Versus Manual Transmissions: Here\u2019s All You Need to Know\n\n\nWhere Have All The Manual Transmission Cars Gone?\n\n\nNobody buys them anymore. Even if a model is offered in manual, people would tend to flock to the automatic one. When the said model is discontinued for a newer generation without it, the keyboard warriors who did not contribute to the sales start complaining, and the cycle continues.\u00a0\n\n\nPart of the reason why car brands hesitate to offer a manual car nowadays is poor sales. Generating hype on the internet is one thing, but how many of these internet sleuths would put their money down at the dealer? You want more car brands to offer a manual car? Then start putting your money where your mouth is.\u00a0\n\n\nAnother answer, however, is thanks to the advancements in automatic transmission technology in cars today. In the olden days, manual transmissions are bought by the poor while automatics are for the rich due to their prices. Nowadays, the masses could only afford a CVT-powered economy car, while the stick can only be found in high-end performance cars like BMW, Porsche, and Aston Martin which have full intent on keeping the spirit of a manual car alive.\u00a0\n\n\nYou could argue that what little manual transmission cars that are still offered today are significantly cheaper than their automatic counterparts, yet why aren\u2019t people buying them?\u00a0\n\n\nHow Many Still Drive a Manual Car Today?\n\n\nWe tried contacting several car brands including Toyota, Perodua, Proton, and Mazda to get information regarding the sales of manual transmissions but all we got was just crickets. So, to further investigate these numbers, we turned to our colleagues at CARSOME instead. Out of 43 responses, here\u2019s what we found.\u00a0\n\n\nThe Results\n\n\n15 out of 43 responses (34.9%) still drive one. While these are still good numbers, only nine out of the 15 respondents still drive them on a daily basis.\u00a0\n\n\nHere are the reasons why they still stick with a manual:\n\n\n\n\n10 respondents cited responses in performance, sentimental value, the thrill of thee drive, and bragging rights.\n\n\nThree respondents said they don\u2019t get the luxury of choosing the car they wanted and\n\n\nTwo did not give a reason why.\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cunE2eSTf3E\n\n\nWhen asked about the reason why they sold a manual for an automatic, out of 31 responses,\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n27 all cited \nhorrible traffic conditions\n in city areas\u00a0\n\n\nOne cited the lack of a manual offering by car brands today.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s no surprise that all manual drivers have converted to automatic ones for the sake of daily convenience.\u00a0\n\n\nMalaysia, in all of its grace and glory, is an \nextremely car-dependent country\n. Without the availability of properly walkable cities and public transport, the masses had to resort to privately owned vehicles for their daily commute.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lch2afTPdcs\n\n\nAccording to \nTomTom Technology\n, Malaysia has a score of 210 in the world ranking of traffic index. If that isn\u2019t an indicator of how bad traffic is around the country, the News Straits Times reports that people working in Klang Valley spend \n44 hours a month\n sitting in traffic jams. Even as a car guy myself, I too, would switch to an automatic for convenience\u2019s sake.\u00a0\n\n\nBenefits of Driving a Manual Transmission\n\n\nOne cannot deny the benefits of an automatic transmission in terms of performance and convenience in slow crawling traffic. Even in motorsports, drivers prefer to use cars that come with a \nDual Clutch Transmission (DCT)\n over a manual car due to the transmission being able to handle more torque output than a stick. In fact, even in Formula 1, the last time a stick and pedal saw use was all the way back in 1995. Furthermore, a DCT offers lightning-fast shift times which greatly benefits acceleration more than a manual transmission. But that does not mean the stick and clutch aren\u2019t completely obsolete.\u00a0\n\n\nIn economy vehicles, a \nmanual car offers\n much more bargaining \nin terms of value\n in the long run. Not only is it the cheapest in the entire lineup but the stick and clutch offer better gas mileage than an automatic. Unlike most automatic slushboxes we see today where they start climbing gears at the slightest hint of power, a manual car would stick to the same gear unless shifted up or downwards. This \u201clocks\u201d the car in\n that particular gear\n and keeps the engine running more consistently than an automatic. In addition, the better fuel economy also helps out with your car\u2019s \nemission output\n too.\u00a0\n\n\nJust like with an automatic, a manual car would still require regular maintenance but it will cost you much less in terms of servicing and parts due to its simplicity in construction. The manual transmission certainly provides much more value for the wallet-conscious mind especially when a recession is looming.\n\n\nRead More: \n6 Tips to Prepare for a Recession as a Car Owner\n\n\nWhat Brands Still Offer a Manual In Malaysia?\u00a0\n\n\nThis list \nwill be incredibly short and depressing, but here it goes.\n\n\n\n\nProton Saga 1.3l Standard MT\n\n\nPerodua Bezza 1.0G\n\n\nProton Iriz 1.3l Standard MT\n\n\nHyundai i30 N Performance\n\n\nPorsche 718 Cayman GT4\u00a0\n\n\nMazda MX-5 RF\n\n\n\n\nThe following two/three models were once sold officially in Malaysia but were discontinued. However, a handful of them can still be bought from recond car dealers.\n\n\n\n\nToyota GT86/Subaru BRZ\u00a0\n\n\nHonda Civic Type R\n\n\n\n\nOfficially, only six models can be had today with an analog stick and clutch. The future is not bright for die-hard car enthusiasts in Malaysia. That said, perhaps the manual car might see \na comeback \namongst EVs soon.\u00a0\n\n\nThe future of the stick can be a glass half-full or glass half-empty situation depending on the way you see it. When the last affordable production manual car in the market is discontinued, prices for older models will certainly shoot up in price. Car brands are fully aware of how much of a cult following manual gearboxes have.\u00a0\n\n\nYet, logically, you would not offer a product or service to a market that has little to no sales value. But that does not mean it\u2019s a dead end. The surprise resurgence of brands developing a fake manual in EVs might shine a glimmer of hope to those who still value the stick. Until then, if you want to see a manual car, then buy one to show support to car brands that there\u2019s still value in producing one.\u00a0\n\n", "Tags\nBuying a Car\nCar Types\nDriving\nLearning Centre\nLifestyle\nNews", "Brian Wong", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

But that aside, environmental impacts happen when manufacturing a new car and also when you toss your old car into a junkyard. When a new car is being manufactured, all the different materials used (like steel or rubber) leave carbon footprints behind\u2014and that\u2019s before the car is even bought and driven on the road.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nYou might be wondering \u201cWhat about used hybrid cars?\u201d Yes, it lowers the impact of emissions by 15%\u201330% when you\u2019re on the road, but you\u2019d be surprised by the output of carbon dioxide during its manufacturing stage.

Knowing the depreciation rate of your car is important as it helps you estimate what the value of your car would be down the road. The best-case scenario would be selling your used car while its market value is still high.\u00a0\n\n\nRead:\n \nKnow Your Car\u2019s Market Value & the Depreciation Rate\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n4.

Car Servicing Tips\n\n\nServicing your car is important as it helps maintain the driving performance and keep your car in good condition to avoid any major repairs. Driving too long on the same spark plugs, forgetting to change the oil, and not listening to squealing brakes or clunking sounds can damage your car severely. To avoid that, we have created a basic checklist of what to do and when to do it when you service your car to help extend its life.\n\n\nRead: \nThings to Check when you Service Your Car\n\n\n\n\n4. Changing Car Ownership in the Event of Death\n\n\nIn the event of a death, the situation may become difficult for the next of kin as the ownership transfer requires several processes and documents.\n\n\nJPJ requires seven documents in total for the transfer.

Its first vehicle in our market, the BYD Atto 3, offered a very practical driving range at an affordable price and the company is not stopping there. We saw several BYD cars including the Seal and Dolphin previewed in Malaysia in 2022 and we expect them to be launched here in 2023. So, here are the top BYD EVs you can expect to see in the near future.\n\n\nBYD Atto 3\n\n\n\n\nThe BYD Atto 3 is the first BYD car launched in Malaysia in December 2022 and it has received tremendous reception with 1,000 orders already delivered as of April 2023. The Atto 3 is currently one of the most affordable EVs in Malaysia. Its base Standard Range variant starts at RM149,800 while the Extended Range variant starts at RM167,800.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBYD Atto 3 Variants\n\n\nHorsepower (PS)\u00a0\n\n\nTorque (Nm)\n\n\nBattery (kWh)\n\n\nRange (km)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStandard Range\n\n\n204\n\n\n310\n\n\n49.92\n\n\n410\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExtended Range\n\n\n204\n\n\n310\n\n\n60.48\n\n\n480\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeing slightly larger than a \nProton X50\n and boasting a 440-liter boot, the Atto 3 is no doubt practical, even when compared to non-electric SUVs (sports utility vehicle). It\u2019s also well equipped with both variants getting six airbags, full ADAS (advanced driver assistance system), and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go function. It also has a V2L (vehicle to load) outlet which enables it to power other electrical appliances from mini fridges to laptops.\n\n\nRead More: \nThe Cost of Owning & Driving an EV in Malaysia\n\n\nBYD E6\n\n\n\n\nBYD has confirmed that it\u2019ll bring the BYD E6 electric MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) into Malaysia so we can likely see it sooner rather than later. The E6 has a single motor propelling the front wheels, and from what we can gather based on markets like Singapore, only come in a single variant for now. Below are its performance numbers.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBYD E6 Variant\n\n\nHorsepower (PS)\u00a0\n\n\nTorque (Nm)\n\n\nBattery (kWh)\n\n\nRange (km)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStandard\u00a0\n\n\n95\n\n\n180\n\n\n71.7\n\n\n522\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCompared to the Atto 3, the BYD E6 has more conventional exterior and interior styling so it might satisfy the tastes of more buyers. Despite being around the same size as a \nProton Exora\n, the E6 is sold as a five-seater in markets such as Singapore and India, though that does give it a boot space of 580 liters. The BYD E6 is priced at around RM170,000 in Thailand.\n\n\nBYD Seal\n\n\n\n\nThe BYD Seal was previewed alongside the Atto 3 in 2022 and is targeted to launch in Malaysia in Q4 2023. This four-door sedan sits on the higher end of BYD\u2019s car lineup and it shows in its styling and performance. It has a sleek silhouette with Porsche Taycan-like headlights and a luxurious cabin. Unlike the previous front-wheel drive (FWD) models we discussed, the BYD Seal comes in rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) variants. Here are the performance numbers of its different variants.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBYD Seal Variants\n\n\nHorsepower (PS)\u00a0\n\n\nTorque (Nm)\n\n\nBattery (kWh)\n\n\nRange (km)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStandard Range RWD Elite/Premium\n\n\n201\n\n\n310\n\n\n61.44\n\n\n550\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLong Range RWD\n\n\n312\n\n\n360\n\n\n82.56\n\n\n700\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLong Range AWD Performance\n\n\n523\n\n\n670\n\n\n82.56\n\n\n650\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Seal is also BYD\u2019s first car to have its battery integrated into its platform as a structural element. This CTB (cell-to-body) structural battery system means that it has increased battery volume and improved safety in a frontal crash. In China, prices for the BYD Seal range from RM138,000 to RM188,000.\n\n\nRead More: \nAll the EV Charging Station Apps for a Greener Road Trip\n\n\nBYD Dolphin\n\n\n\n\nThe BYD Dolphin was previewed with the Seal and is also aimed for a Q4 2023 Malaysia launch. This B-segment hatchback has a youthful styling similar to the Atto 3, albeit with a smaller 44.9 kWh battery. It comes in two variants with different motors powering the front wheels. We don\u2019t know the names of the variants just yet so here are the performance numbers of the entry and top-level variants.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBYD Dolphin Variants\n\n\nHorsepower (PS)\u00a0\n\n\nTorque (Nm)\n\n\nBattery (kWh)\n\n\nRange (km)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEntry Level\n\n\n95 PS\n\n\n180 Nm\n\n\n44.9 kWh\n\n\n405km\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTop Level\n\n\n177 PS\n\n\n290 Nm\n\n\n44.9 kWh\n\n\n401km\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Dolphin is sized similar to the \nHonda City\n hatchback and if its price in Thailand is anything to go by, it could be competitively priced too. In Thailand, the BYD Dolphin starts at around RM103,000, which is quite affordable for what it offers.\n\n\nBYD Tang\n\n\n\n\nThe BYD Tang is a seven-seater electric \nSUV\n that provides something the EV market lacks \u2013 a large, practical passenger EV that won\u2019t break the bank. It comes in three variants in China with performance numbers as below.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBYD Tang Variants\n\n\nHorsepower (PS)\u00a0\n\n\nTorque (Nm)\n\n\nBattery (kWh)\n\n\nRange (km)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStandard Range FWD\u00a0\n\n\n228 PS\n\n\n350\n\n\n90.3\n\n\n600\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLong Range FWD\n\n\n228\n\n\n350\n\n\n108\n\n\n730\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAWD\n\n\n517\n\n\n700\n\n\n108\n\n\n635\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs you can see, the BYD Tang is no slouch when it comes to power and driving range. It also has ADAS safety features, a 12.8-inch touchscreen infotainment display, and a luggage capacity of up to 1,655 liters with the second and third-row seats folded down. Prices in China range from RM182,000 to RM228,000.\n\n\nBYD Han\n\n\n\n\nThe BYD Han is BYD\u2019s flagship sedan that\u2019s built to rival cars from the likes of \nBMW\n and \nMercedes-Benz\n. It has sleek styling to achieve a low drag coefficient of 0.23. According to BYD, this contributes to better speed and range. In fact, it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in a claimed 3.9 seconds. It has two variants, both with an 85.4 kWh battery.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBYD Han Variants\n\n\nHorsepower (PS)\u00a0\n\n\nTorque (Nm)\n\n\nBattery (kWh)\n\n\nRange (km)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFWD\u00a0\n\n\n245\u00a0\n\n\n350\n\n\n85.4\n\n\n715\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAWD\n\n\n517\n\n\n700\n\n\n85.4\n\n\n610\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the Han\u2019s luxurious interior, you have a 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment display, ambient lighting, and a multifunctional touchpad on the rear armrest \u2013 features that make it a strong competitor in the luxury EV segment. Prices for the BYD Han in China range from RM175,000 to RM215,000.\n\n\nElectrification is no doubt the future of transportation in Malaysia and BYD is poised to be a major brand we see on our roads.

It\u2019s always been affordable, reliable, and spacious, making it a top choice for young professionals and families alike.\u00a0\n\n\nToyota\n has launched the new 2023 Vios with a host of improvements. So how does it stack up to the prior generation from 2021? Is the higher price of the Toyota Vios worth it for Malaysians? Let\u2019s dive into it.\n\n\n\n\nToyota Vios Pricing in Malaysia\n\n\nBefore we get into the nitty-gritty, we should note that the Toyota Vios now only comes in two variants; the lower 1.5E and the range-topping 1.5G variants. The base 1.5J variant has been dropped resulting in a much higher starting price for the car but that also translates to more kit and refinement. Here\u2019s a quick comparison of the Toyota Vios prices in Malaysia.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVariant\n\n\n2023 Toyota Vios\n\n\n2021 Toyota Vios\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVios 1.5J\n\n\nDropped\n\n\nRM77,600\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVios 1.5E\n\n\nRM89,600\n\n\nRM85,600\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVios 1.5G\n\n\nRM95,500\n\n\nRM90,400\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWant a Heavily Discounted Toyota Vios?\n\n\nAs the price of the Vios has risen by more than RM4,000 within the variants, many would argue that it\u2019s no longer an affordable car. Fortunately, you can still enjoy the reliability and practicality of a Toyota Vios by going the pre-owned route with CARSOME. We have a large selection of Toyota Vios models with \nadditional discounts of up to RM4500\n.\u00a0\n\n\nCheck out our inventory\n but be quick so you don\u2019t miss out on the best Vios deals!\n\n\nEngine & Performance\n\n\nNow that we got the price out of the way, let\u2019s look at the engine. The 2023 Toyota Vios is powered by a 2NR-VE 1.5-liter naturally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine with DOHC (dual overhead cam) and dual VVT-i (dual variable valve timing-intelligent). Although it has the same displacement as the 2NR-FE used in the outgoing 2021 model, the new engine has slightly lower output figures of 106 PS and 138 Nm (down by 1 Ps and 2 Nm).\n\n\nThe engine drives the front wheels via a new D-CVT (dual-mode continuously variable transmission) which combines a belt and gear drive to give the 2023 Vios better acceleration, fuel efficiency, and comfort. The CVT comes with seven virtual speeds, and, new in the G variant are paddle shifters \u2013 perfect for some sporty weekend driving.\n\n\n\n\nBuilt on an All-New Platform\n\n\nThe biggest improvement in the 2023 Toyota Vios is its new platform \u2013 the DNGA (Daihatsu New Global Architecture). This platform utilizes a continuous frame design and high-tensile materials resulting in increased rigidity and a curb weight that\u2019s 100kg lower than the outgoing 2021 Vios.\u00a0\n\n\nThese contribute to better handling and stability on the road making the Vios now better to drive. The new platform also contributes to lowered cabin NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness), and with its longer wheelbase, allows for more legroom inside.\n\n\nRead More: \nHistory of Toyota: The Largest Carmaker in the World\n\n\nExterior\u00a0\n\n\nThe new Vios also sports a fastback body and a cleaner front face adorned with a large intake grille that makes the car look sportier and more grown up than the previous model. Not only that, but it also has functional side air vents that channel air into the front wheel wells to cool the brakes, a feature we don\u2019t see on cars at this price point.\u00a0\n\n\nLights\n\n\nLike in the previous model, both E and G variants get LED lights all around with headlights equipped with auto on/off, follow-me-home functions, and sharp L-shaped DRLs (daytime running lights) for that extra presence on the road. Both variants get LED tail lights like in the previous model but the G now has sequential turn signals, something we usually see on \nluxury vehicles\n and aftermarket light kits.\n\n\n\n\nAero Kit\n\n\nTo further accentuate its sporty styling, the 2023 Vios comes with an aero kit as standard that includes a black front bumper lip, side skirts, a boot lid lip spoiler, and a rear bumper diffuser. If you wanted an aero kit for the 2021 Vios, you\u2019d have had to pay Toyota an additional RM2,500 for that.\n\n\nColors\n\n\nIn terms of colors, the new Vios comes in five shades. Platinum White Pearl and Silver Metallic are carried forward from the previous model while new this generation are Spicy Scarlet, Nebula Blue Metallic, and Attitude Black. The two colors dropped from the lineup are Dark Blue Metallic and Red Mica Metallic.\n\n\nDimensions\n\n\nThe new DNGA platform doesn\u2019t just affect the driving dynamics and comfort but also results in a slightly bigger car.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDimensions\n\n\n2023 Toyota Vios\n\n\n2021 Toyota Vios\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLength\n\n\n4425mm\n\n\n4420mm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWidth\n\n\n1740mm\n\n\n1730mm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHeight\n\n\n1480mm\n\n\n1475mm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWheel base\n\n\n2620mm\n\n\n2550mm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nShould Fresh Grads Get a Used Car As a Safer Bet?\n\n\nInterior\n\n\nThe new increased price of the Toyota Vios in Malaysia is reflected well in all the improvements you\u2019ll find in its interior. The cabin is now more refined and spacious making it more comfortable than before.\u00a0\n\n\nInterior Changes across the Vios Range\n\n\nNew features that are shared across the range are rear air vents, a wireless charger (was optional in the previous model), sunglass holder, and a larger nine-inch display infotainment system. However, Toyota has now omitted the armrest for rear passengers and the rear seats no longer fold down, so you can\u2019t carry exceptionally long items in the Vios anymore.\u00a0\n\n\nThe boot has also shrunk from 506L to 475L, although the boot now has a hidden storage below the main space to store smaller items such as your shoes or other valuables. Also worth noting is, in place of a spare tire, there\u2019s now a tire repair kit.\n\n\n\n\nNew Features Only on The G Variant\n\n\nA welcome new feature in the 2023 Vios is the tilt and telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel in the range-topping G variant which allows you to get into the perfect driving position. Other new features on the Vios G variant include a seven-inch TFT multi-information display (MID), a 64-color ambient lighting, and electronic parking brake with auto brake hold. There are also more soft-touch materials all around from the leather-wrapped dashboard to the driver\u2019s knee padding.\u00a0\n\n\nSafety Features\n\n\nSafety-wise, the 2021 Toyota Vios is no slouch as it has all the passive and active \nsafety features\n you need including some advanced Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) features. The 2023 Vios carries over all of those features which include an ISOFIX tether system, front DVR (digital video recorder) with smartphone connectivity, pre-collision system (PCS), lane departure warning (LDW), and a 3D panoramic view monitor, just to name a few.\u00a0\n\n\nBoth the E and G variants also get a three-year Toyota vehicle telematics system (VTS) subscription which allows you to track and control some functions of the car directly on your smartphone.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat\u2019s new in this generation are additional TSS features which are lane keeping control (LKC), auto high beam (AHB), and \nadaptive cruise control (ACC)\n. However, these are only available on the top G variant.\n\n\nRead More: \nTop Car Safety Features Invented by Women That May Have Saved Your Life\n\n\nGet a Used 2021 Toyota Vios at a Bargain\n\n\nThe 2023 Toyota Vios brings with it a long list of upgrades from the new platform to all-around refinements. That said, previous generations of the Vios still offer great value, especially in terms of reliability and space. In fact, you can get this \n2021 Toyota Vios E\n in excellent condition from CARSOME if you\u2019re quick enough.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for even better deals, we have a selection of \nVios models with big discounts of up to RM4,500\n waiting for you.

We are also required to adhere to the new normal \u2013 a strict practice of good hygiene, mask wearing and social distancing. But, when it comes to travelling in a car, what can we do to minimize the chances of falling ill?\n\n\n\n\nDo you know that every car needs to wear a mask as well? The mask that we are referring to in this case is a cabin air filter. On the 24\nth\n of November, \nBosch Automotive Aftermarket Malaysia\n \n(Bosch AA) in a \u201cMask Up Your Car\u201d online media briefing session encouraged the same precautionary measures to be practiced within our cars.\n\n\nWhat Are Cabin Air Filters?\n\n\nCommonly confused with the engine air filter, the cabin air filter is an especially important car part that filters the air flowing from outside the vehicle into the car cabin through the air conditioning system. It not only improves the air quality you breathe in your car but also simultaneously increases hygiene in the car itself.\n\n\n\n\nAccording to studies, in-car air quality can be up to 15 times more polluted than the air outside the car. Sitting in traffic causes the highest air pollution in the car as emissions from surrounding vehicles flow into the car. Subsequently, a Bosch AA study done in April this year reported that 96 per cent of Malaysian drivers showed concerns about air quality in the car. On top of that, exhaust or unpleasant smells and dusty air in the car are the two most common experiences 64% and 58% of drivers notice while driving, respectively. These are an indication that the majority of drivers may have a clogged cabin filter.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nWhy Cabin Air Filters Should be Changed Frequently\n\n\n\n\nPollution \u2013 Pollution is the most commonly cited reason to change the cabin filters.\u00a0 These filters are the one that stops exterior air of the road from entering the interior air of your car. The filters block a lot of smog and dirty exhaust let out by other vehicles on the road and regularly changing out this filter stops these pollutants from making its way into the car\u2019s cabin.\n\n\nDebris \u2013 It seems unlikely to find twigs and leaves inside your cabin air filter \u2014 these are larger objects that many assume would not get sucked into the filter. However, many drivers find their air filters clogged with leaves, twigs, and other natural debris, especially if the car is parked in an area with lots of trees or bushes. These can have a huge effect on the efficacy of your air system and need to be removed.\n\n\nAllergens \u2013 Besides just pollutants and debris, cabin air filters also greatly help in reducing the number of allergens that can get into your vehicle. Pollen could easily get into your vehicle without the air filter, and when the air filter is not frequently changed, imagine the amount of pollen in your car cabin!\n\n\nAllergens building up in your cabin air filter is more common in states that have massive pollen seasons, particularly areas with a large amount of plants with flowers. Regardless of where you live, however, it is important to change your air filter so that you don\u2019t have to deal with any allergens getting into your vehicle.\n\n\nReduced Efficacy \u2013 When your cabin filter gets clogged, your air conditioner has to work harder to push cool air through the filter. This can result in a noisy or ineffective air conditioning system. This can be a huge pain in Malaysia, as the weather is always hot and sunny \u2014 if your air filter is full of debris and dirt, it will take way longer for your cabin to cool down. On top of that, a clogged air filter also impacts your fuel efficiency because your engine would have to work extra hard to power up the system!\n\n\nBosch Cabin Filter \u2013 \nBosch Aeristo Premium\n\n\nA typical cabin filter filters out unwanted air contaminants and impurities such as dust, dirt, smoke, mold spores and pet hair. But, a good cabin filter like the Bosch Aeristo Premium comes with enhanced features including antibacterial and antiviral properties that can help minimise exposure risks to airborne pollutants, bacteria and viruses.\n\n\nimage source : \nBoschAA Facebook\n\n\nT\nhis cabin filter has a natural polyphenol layer made out of plants that has the ability to restrain \nviruses by decomposing the virus protein. Similarly, it has an antibacterial agent that prevents the growth of bacteria. Thus, reducing the invasion of virus and bacteria carried by the air flowing into the car cabin.\n\n\nOn top of that, it is woven and layered with an electrostatic charged material that removes fine particles and air pollutants as small as 2.5 microns. Essentially, the Bosch Aeristo Premium has a filtration efficiency of a PM2.5 filter. It is able to filter 98 per cent of fine air particles at 2.5 microns. To give a point of comparison, a strand of human hair is 50-70 microns in diameter which means the cabin filter filters out air pollutants that are naked to the eye.\n\n\nAs a bonus, this range of cabin filter is also fitted with an activated carbon layer that absorbs and neutralizes unpleasant smells and harmful gases such as smog, car exhaust or the ozone. The activated carbon is made from coconut shells that have higher filtration and absorption capacity than those made from wood or coal. On top of that, it also has an anti-allergy layer that has antifungal properties to filter common allergens in the air as well as prevent fungal and mold growth on the cabin filter.\n\n\nIn conclusion, if you do not remember when the last time your cabin was changed, it\u2019s best to get it checked. \nThe cabin filter should be replaced every year or every 15,000km, whichever comes first. We at \nCarsome\n, encourage you to make this one of your priorities the next time you take your car for its service. #CarsomeCares\n\n", "Haziq Asyraf\nA self-proclaimed foodie and gamer whose passion for food and games has recently extended to cars.", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

In Malaysia, it would be extremely convenient to have your own car to move around. But when it comes to getting a car loan, many do not fully understand how to calculate car loans and interests. But before we delve deeper into that, here are some basic terms you should know.\n\n\n\n\nCar Loans Terms\n\n\n\n\nInterest Rate: \nIt is the overall cost of taking out a loan. It depends on the base rate that is provided by the bank, which can go up and down depending on the country\u2019s economy.\n\n\nDown Payment\n: The upfront payment for the car that covers part of the cost, usually, 10% of the total cost for new cars and 20% for used cars.\n\n\nMargin of Finance\n: The proportion of the car\u2019s cost that the bank will lend to you.\n\n\nLoan Period\n: The total amount of months/years taken to pay off your loan.\n\n\nInstallment\n: The amount that you need to pay monthly to the bank to clear off your loan.\n\n\nGuarantor\n: Someone who is bound legally to pay off your loan if you are not able to do it.\n\n\n\n\nHow Does A Car Loan Work?\n\n\nGenerally, there are two types of \ncar loans\n and both these loans\u2019 interest rate depends on the base rate, the bank you choose and if you are getting a new car or a used car.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFixed rate loans \u2013 interest rate stays the same throughout the loan period.\n\n\nVariable rate loans \u2013 interest rate fluctuates according to the current Base Rate.\n\n\n\n\nBanks typically provide you a margin of finance up to 90% and the rest, would be paid via down payment by you. While it is easier for your short-term finances if you take out the largest margin of finance available, this also means you would be paying higher monthly installments and in the long run, a higher interest.\n\n\nAnother factor that might affect your installment and interest is the loan period. The longer the loan period, the smaller your monthly installment would be, but you would end up paying more in interest.\n\n\nHow to Calculate Car Loan\n\n\nExample: A RM 70,000 car loan with an interest rate of 3.5%.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMonthly Installment\n\n\nRM 2,148.61 (3 Years)\n\n\nRM 1,370.83 (5 Years)\n\n\nRM 852.31 (9 Years)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTotal Interest\n\n\nRM 7,350\n\n\nRM 12,250\n\n\nRM 22,050\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCar Loan Interest Rate\u00a0\n\n\nTo know how the installment and interest rate is calculated for your fixed-rate car loan,\u00a0 all you need to do is to determine these values:\n\n\n\n\nLoan Amount\n\n\nLoan Period\n\n\nInterest Rate\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThese are the formulas used to determine the total interest, monthly interest, and monthly installment for your loan. Using back the above example: A RM 70,000 car loan with an interest rate of 3.5% with a 5-year loan period.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCalculation Formula\n\n\nExample\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour total interest\n\n\ninterest rate/100 x loan amount x loan period\n\n\n3.5% x RM 70,000 x 5 = RM 12,250\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour monthly interest\n\n\ntotal interest / (loan period x 12)\n\n\nRM 12,250/ (5\u00d712) = RM 204.16\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour monthly installment\n\n\n(loan amount + total interest) / (loan period x 12)\n\n\n(RM 70,000 + RM 12,250) / (5\u00d712) = RM 1370.83\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBut when it comes to getting a car, you should also take into consideration all the other costs that might come up along the way. These costs include petrol, maintenance and repair, road tax, insurance, parking, and toll cost, among others. So do consider these costs when you are coming out with a budget for a new car. You can also check out Carsome\u2019s huge range of \nused quality cars\n if you want to cut some costs\n from your total budget.\n\n\n2021 Car Loan Moratorium\n\n\nAs introduced again under the PEMULIH stimulus package, a six months moratorium is offered from the 1\nst\n of July 2021 to the end of the year. Although it is largely similar to what was offered last year, this current moratorium does not offer the same eligibility requirements as the targeted repayment assistance, that was available from October last year.\n\n\nCar loans in Malaysia are mostly fixed-rate loans, which means, the interest rate for the loan has already been agreed upon upfront and this fixed amount is charged monthly throughout the loan repayment period. However, for this current moratorium, banks are allowed to set their own terms and conditions for how they want the loan to be paid back. Some pay impose interest accrual during this deferment period while others may not. Some of the banks that have agreed to accrue the car loan interest till the end of the year include Maybank, CIMB Bank, and Hong Leong Bank where the collected interest during this deferment period has to be paid off together with the final installment. \n\n", "Haziq Asyraf\nA self-proclaimed foodie and gamer whose passion for food and games has recently extended to cars.", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

The price used to change only a few times a year, then it was every month. From April 2017 onwards, the petrol price started changing every week. To keep yourself updated on the current petrol price, you can check it out \nhere\n. But after years of filling up our car tanks with petrol, how is the price of fuel determined every week? Do you know what calculation is used to calculate petrol price?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThere are many factors that determine the fluctuating price, but the greatest single factor influencing fuel price is the cost of crude oil. Do keep in mind that crude oil and petrol are not the same thing as petrol is produced from crude oil and according to the Malaysian government, it\u2019s not just the price of crude oil that affects the overall price of petrol but the price of producing petrol and it is calculated using the Automatic Pricing Mechanism (APM).\n\n\nWhat is Automatic Pricing Mechanism (APM)?\n\n\nAutomatic Pricing Mechanism (APM) is a formula that is used to calculate the price of fuel in Malaysia. Its function is to stabilize the price of petrol and diesel in Malaysia to a certain extent via a variable amount sales tax and subsidy, so the retail price only has to be changed if the difference in price exceeds the threshold of the tax and subsidy, at the discretion of the government. Here is the formula of the APM:\n\n\nPrice of MOPS + Operation Cost + Profit Margin for Oil Companies + Profit Margin of Petrol Dealers + Alpha = PRICE OF PETROL PER LITER\n\n\n\n\nIf you are confused on what these terms mean, do not worry, here\u2019s an explanation of each.\n\n\nMOPS \u2013 Which also stands for Means of Platts Singapore, is a calculation done by a company in Singapore called Platts. They provide different kinds of complex calculations and one of them is the price of refined oil.\n\n\nA buyer of a finished (refined) oil product will refer to the MOPS index as a better indicator/benchmark of world prices rather than crude oil prices. The MOPS price typically has a premium over the crude oil prices. This is why the Malaysian government uses MOPS to determine fuel prices rather than NYMEX crude oil prices. Unfortunately, it is hard to track MOPS prices as individuals because the data is only available to those who purchase it, unlike the publicly available charts from the NYMEX.\n\n\nOperation Cost \u2013 Multiple different costs (including transportation and marketing) which is a pre-set amount by the government at 9.54 cent per litre (Peninsular Malaysia), 8.98 cent per litre (Sabah), and 8.13 cent per litre (Sarawak).\n\n\nProfit Margin for Oil Companies \u2013 This is when the Oil companies make money. Pre-set by the government at 5 cent per litre (petrol) and 2.25 cent per litre (diesel).\n\n\nProfit Margin for Petrol Dealers \u2013 The petrol stations make more money per litre of fuel. Pre-set by the government at 12.19 cent per litre (petrol) and 7 cent per litre (diesel).\n\n\nAlpha \u2013 The difference between the MOPS price and the actual price that is transacted between oil companies and refineries. This is set at 5 cents per litre (petrol) and 4 cent per litre (diesel).\n\n\nNext comes sales tax and subsidies by the government. According to the Sales Tax Act 1972, the Malaysian government can collect a maximum sales tax of 58.62 cent per litre for petrol and 19.64 cent per litre for diesel. This takes place when the real price of petrol and diesel at the stations are lower than the fixed retail price. Then, the government can either take profit from this or revise the fuel price to be lower to remove the difference in price so that the savings can be for the people.\n\n\n\n\nApart from that, if the fixed retail price of the fuel is lower than the actual cost of the petrol and diesel at the pumps, the government can pay a subsidy of the same range. Now, the government gives a maximum subsidy of 30 cent per litre instead of a maximum allowable subsidy of 58.62 cent per litre. This 30-cent maximum subsidy is as part of an improved Automatic Pricing Mechanism, which is designed to stabilize fuel retail prices and allow industry players to manage expenditure in a more orderly manner.\n\n\nNow that you know how petrol price is calculated, you might be able to estimate the price weekly, but to make things easier for you, we also have an updated page that refreshes every week with the current petrol price.

To make it yours, you can accessorize your car to suit your needs. However, you should also get accessories that can help you during emergencies. Unlike in the olden days when car accessories were seen as a luxury, car accessory stores are almost on every corner of shop lots and malls.\u00a0\n\n\nWith 33.3 million registered vehicles\n in the country, the car accessory industry is a huge market many entrepreneurs are trying to tap into. In this article, we\u2019re not telling you to buy your run-off-the-mill car accessories like an air freshener or a floor mat, these accessories can save your life when the situation arises.\u00a0\n\n\nDash Cams from Car Accessory Stores\n\n\nIn the unfortunate event of a car crash or accident, footage recovered from the dashcam can be used as evidence to protect its owners and aid in the police investigation. An article by Paul Tan reports that there has been a recorded \n255,532\n road accidents from January to September 2021. How many accidental close calls have you experienced driving in Malaysia so far? If you lost count, don\u2019t blame yourself for it. In fact, Malaysia has even been rated the \n8th most stressful place\n to drive in!\u00a0\n\n\nStudies have shown that up to \n60% of the accidents\n on the road can be reduced if a dashcam is installed in a vehicle. An independent study further proves that humans tend to be more behaved and compliant if they are aware their actions are being recorded on camera. This is dubbed the Hawthorne Effect. This theory can be applied to owning a dashcam on the road as \nresearch\n has shown that drivers with dashcams installed tend to drive safer. Generally, dashcams can be bought from eCommerce sites or car accessory stores.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nTop 4 Best Dashcam Brands in Malaysia & How to Choose One\n\n\nJumper Cables\u00a0\n\n\nJump cables or \njumper cables\n can be a lifesaver if your car battery ever goes dead. Jumper cables are two reinforced wires;\u00a0 a positive and a negative cable. These cables come with crocodile clips on both ends that hook onto a car battery. You can get these from car accessory stores, depending on length and output for around RM200.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you do find your car with a dead battery, you may require assistance from another driver to perform a jump start. The term jump starting comes from using these cables to supply power to a car battery from an external source of power in which this case, another car with a live battery running. This process involves hooking your red cable (positive terminal) and black cable (negative terminal) to the car batteries. This process is fairly simple, it will take less than ten minutes as demonstrated in this guide \nhere.\u00a0\n\n\nPortable First Aid Kit\n\n\nJust like a first aid kit at home, stocking one for your car is just as important as any other accessory. In the unfortunate case of a car accident, a well-stocked first aid kit can be a lifesaver for the victims while waiting for emergency services to arrive. A decent, fifteen-item first aid kit should go no more than RM50 though you can find better-equipped ones if you spend a bit more. If a car accessory store does not have it, you can just go to the nearest pharmacy to get it.\u00a0\n\n\nWhile your first aid kit doesn\u2019t have to be fancy, it is important to stock up on some essential supplies. For example, a tourniquet can be used to stop heavy bleeding, a splint to hold broken bones together, and an iodine solution to prevent wounds from getting infected.\u00a0\n\n\nBlind Spot Mirror\n\n\nAs the name suggests, these small, fisheye rounded mirrors play a huge role in allowing you to see your vehicle\u2019s blind spots. For \ninexperienced drivers\n, blind spots are hidden areas that cannot be seen by the driver from the driver\u2019s seat even with its rear and side mirrors. The only way you can get a clear line of sight at your blind spots is to turn your head to the left and right accordingly.\u00a0\n\n\nPlenty of modern cars like Mazda and Toyota offer blind spot monitoring sensors that light up in your side mirrors if an object is not within your line of sight. However, for older cars, blind spot mirrors are simple, paste-it solutions that get the job done. Blind spot mirrors are the cheapest and easiest accessory to use in this article and cost no more than RM15 from any car accessory store.\u00a0\n\n\nCar Escape Tool\n\n\nIn extreme crashes, cars could get flipped upside down. A car escape tool is a small, metal-tipped hammer that can also come in the form of a keychain. This tool is designed to break open car windows and windshields safely to allow occupants to exit a crashed vehicle with just a little tap.\u00a0\n\n\nSome auto manufacturers have these given to owners for free and are usually found in the glove box of your car. Otherwise, a car escape tool can be bought from car accessory stores for a fairly cheap price. There are plenty of designs and options available, even custom-designed ones!\u00a0\n\n\nTire Pressure Monitor System\n\n\nA tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is a device that is installed on all four of your tires to monitor the tire pressure. Besides continuously feeding drivers with the information about all four tires, it \naids \ndrivers by warning them when their tire pressure gets exceedingly low. The device is commonly found in accessory shops but has also found its way pre-installed in most high-end vehicles today.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nCurrently, there are \ntwo types of TPMS\n available in the market. The most popular one, Direct TPMS has its sensors installed in the air chucks. These sensors are linked via Bluetooth to an external monitor mounted on your dashboard. The monitor will sound a warning if the air pressure in your tires drops below a certain level. Another type of TPMS is called an Indirect TPMS which works with your Anti-lock Braking System with its wheel speed sensors. Its commonly built into vehicles and will warn you through your dashboard when the air pressure in the tires runs low.\u00a0\n\n\nWhile these accessories can be quite pricey or a hassle to install, consider adding these to your car to ensure you and your occupants will stay safe when the situation arises. These accessories aren\u2019t a cure-it-all solution for your car; you still need to properly care for and maintain your car, especially your tires and batteries to ensure your car can safely serve you for years to come.\n\n\nWith that, we hope these accessories will come in handy in the future.\u00a0\n\n", "Tags\nCar Tips\nLearning Centre\nMaintenance", "Brian Wong", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

The \nMalaysian Department of Information\n reports that on average, temperatures in Malaysia can reach up to 32\u00b0C! Without our life-saving air conditioners, the blistering heat inside our vehicle can cause serious heat stroke to the occupants. In worse cases, \nfatalities have been reported\n in the past where children died of heat stroke after being left in a hot car for too long.

In hotter climates like Malaysia, \nrubber hoses\n, batteries, fans, and condensers have to work under heat stress. Combined with a running engine under hot weather, this further accelerates the wear and tear effects on our car air conditioner. Commonly, worn parts from the air conditioner involve O rings and rubber seals as they work by \nkeeping high-pressure air\n from the condenser straight into your cabin.\u00a0\n\n\nOtherwise, do send your car to a workshop if your car is running low on refrigerant. In most modern cars, \nR134a\n is the industry standard since 1994 for ongoing vehicles on the road due to its low flammability and being more eco-friendly.\u00a0\n\n\nClogged Filter in the Car\u2019s Air Conditioner\n\n\nDust is always omnipresent no matter how often we clean something. Dust occurs from the drying and flaking of particles from various sources like objects, organisms, and soil to smoke. Picture your car filter as the lungs of your vehicle. Without an air filter, the car will suck in all sorts of dirt and debris which can lead to \nserious breakdowns \nof your car engine! If an air conditioner has no filter, you\u2019ll be breathing in cancerous, polluted air.\u00a0\n\n\nOver time, our air filters can get clogged from particles accumulating in the microscopic netting inside the filters. A clogged air filter will make your entire car air conditioning system to put on strain hindering \nits efficiency\n in working properly. \nDepending on your vehicle\n, some cars come with paper filters for easier replacement and some are made with cloth or carbon to make washing easier.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nThe Importance of Cabin Air Filters\n\u00a0\n\n\nFaulty Cooling Fan/Radiator\n\n\nImage source: \nClearMechanic.com\n\n\nDid you know that your engine\u2019s cooling system and air conditioning system are \ntied together\n?\u00a0 To reduce the number of unnecessary components and save space in the engine bay, certain components are connected to more than one system. This comes at a cost of complexity \u2013 if one component fails, one or more features of the engine may fail together. In this case, our car air conditioning system is usually located sitting right behind our vehicle\u2019s radiator.\u00a0\n\n\nTo locate the radiator, all you need to do is find a big, thick silver panel that sits between the front bumper and the engine block of your car. These fans pull in the cold air as the car is being driven on the road to \naid in cooling the engine\n and in turn, cool the air conditioning radiator, compressor, and other vital components. Hence, check on your car\u2019s radiator at the nearest mechanic if you do find your car\u2019s air conditioner not working.\n\n\nCondenser Malfunction\n\n\nIn lieu of a faulty radiator, a malfunctioning condenser can cause our car air conditioner to blow hot wind at our faces. \nThe condenser\n is a heat exchanger. It cools the refrigerant that is heated by the compressor and evaporates the moisture into the cold air that flows through the cabin\u2019s vents.\u00a0\n\n\nIf there is a malfunction in the condenser, all your refrigerants will be put to waste as the radiator will turn them into liquid. A first tell-tale sign of a malfunctioning condenser is small puddles of water found on the ground where your car is parked; underneath the engine bay.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nThings to Check When you Service your Car\n\n\nChoose CARSOME Certified for Complete Peace of Mind\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a quality, pre-owned car with a tip-top and functioning air conditioner, look no further than \nCARSOME\n!

Cue chaos and pandemonium if we ever have to endure a day without it in the scorching and humid tropical weather here.\n\n\nSweltering, sweaty and oftentimes searing, the air-conditioning system in the car could very well be described as an essential, depending on who you ask. Let\u2019s just say it\u2019s more of a necessity than a luxury. Furthermore, the system also filters the air circulating in the cabin, ensuring it remains clean and healthy for the occupants.\n\n\nTo nobody\u2019 surprise, your car\u2019s air-conditioning system is quite a complex combination of components. While it\u2019s best left to the experts, learning a little about it might help troubleshoot if it doesn\u2019t flow cool air anymore or isn\u2019t functioning as optimally as before.\n\n\n\n\nHow Does It Work?\n\n\nSome of us might recall a lesson during science class back in school regarding a matter changing states. This is referred to as a phase change. A liquid such as water turning into a solid and becoming ice is an example of a phase change.\n\n\nPhase changes can be controlled by manipulating the heat stored by a type of matter. The fundamentals of your car\u2019s air-conditioning system operate based on the same principles of phase changing.\n\n\nThe air-conditioning system manipulates a refrigerant by means of pressure and temperature, alternating the medium between a liquid and gaseous state. It might seem counterintuitive for those with a basic understanding of chemistry as the refrigerant can be both superheated and low-pressure but this is why it\u2019s the perfect medium for cooling the air.\n\n\n\u00a0This is how the refrigerant functions within the air-conditioning system.\n\n\n\n\n The refrigerant enters the compressor as a low-pressure but superheated gas, its chemical composition allowing for the logic-defying state.\n\n\n The compressor pumps the refrigerant towards the condenser, where it is cooled and condenses into vapor before transitioning into a cool, high-pressure liquid. This phase change produces hot air which the condenser blows away via the external electric fan.\n\n\n From the condenser, the liquid refrigerant arrives at the metering device. The device lowers its pressure and the refrigerant once again reverts into the vapor state.\n\n\n The vapor enters the evaporator. Here, it absorbs heat from the space being cooled. The heat causes the vapor to boil and initiates another phase change back to a superheated low-pressure gas. This process produces cool air that\u2019s blown into the cabin by the blower.\n\n\n The superheated, low-pressure refrigerant makes its way into the compressor for the cycle to start all over again.\n\n\n\n\nRead More:\n\u00a0\nC\nar\n Engine Overheating: Here Are the Causes & What to Do When It Happens\n\n\nThe Components of an AC System\n\n\nAlthough on a much smaller scale, the air-conditioning system in a car comprises all the components found in the air-conditioner unit in your home, just much smaller of course.\n\n\nThe primary components are an evaporator, compressor, condenser, expansion device and a blower. Here we\u2019ll take a look at the core components and their functions.\n\n\n1. Compressor\n\n\nOften referred to as the heart of the system, the compressor\u2019s function is pretty self-explanatory. As the name suggests, it creates pressure within the system to convert the refrigerant from a vapor state back into liquid form, allowing it to continue flowing within the condenser. The compressor is powered directly from the engine\u2019s crankshaft via a pulley and belt.\n\n\n2. Condenser\n\n\nNext up is the condenser. It serves as a radiator to cool the refrigerant post compressor. Again, as the name suggests, it provides condensing (lowering temperature) to further cool the liquid refrigerant. The radiator fan or an electric fan in the engine bay helps the process.\n\n\n3. Expansion Valve\n\n\nAfter the condenser, the expansion valve functions to expand the high pressure, low temperature liquid refrigerant to release pressure in the system before it flows into the evaporator.\n\n\n4. Evaporator / Cooling Coil\n\n\nThis component resembles a radiator as well and is the piece that\u2019s often found behind the dashboard in the cabin. The evaporator takes heat from the cabin and converts the liquid refrigerant from the expansion valve into vapor. This phase change cools the air in the cabin.\n\n\n5. Receiver-Dryer\n\n\nLocated just before the compressor, the receiver or dryer is a safety device that prevents some of the refrigerant from flowing back into the compressor and causing damage. Therefore, this component converts all the remaining liquid refrigerant into vapor before it flows into the compressor to repeat the cycle.\n\n\n6. Refrigerant\n\n\nIf the compressor is the heart of the system, the refrigerant is very much the blood. It\u2019s a fluid with an extremely low boiling point and serves as a heat exchange medium.\n\n\nCommon Problems\n\n\nYour air-conditioning system isn\u2019t immune from issues. While the most common one would obviously be the air not being cold, the source of the issue could stem from a number of components.\n\n\nHence, it\u2019s a good idea to form a clearer understanding of some common issues with the system and how to accurately identify the source.\n\n\n\n\n1. The Air Isn\u2019t Cold at All\n\n\nUsually, this means a refrigerant leak. That\u2019s the easy part though. The tough part is finding the source of the leak as it could be anywhere along the system. Refrigerant leaks aren\u2019t easy to locate due to the nature of the medium being designed to evaporate when exposed to the atmosphere.\n\n\nA car air-conditioning specialist will probably use a refrigerant leak detector or a fluorescent leak tracer dye to identify the source of the leak. Once identified, fix it or replace the faulty component and off you go.\n\n\n2. The Air Is Cool but Not Cold\n\n\nThis is again likely related to the refrigerant, or rather a lack of it. A slow leak will see the system\u2019s pressure drop and prevent the clutch from activating the compressor\u2019s cycle.\n\n\nThe compressor\u2019s clutch is also prone to failure and will need to be refurbished. If it fails, the compressor can\u2019t be triggered to pressurize the system.\n\n\nOn the other hand, if the refrigerant levels are sufficient, it could mean a clogged condenser.\n\n\n3. No Air Blowing from the Vents\n\n\nThere\u2019s no clear-cut fix for this as there are a number of possibilities. It could be that the blower isn\u2019t receiving any electrical power or the blower itself has broken.\n\n\nBlocked intakes could also be the culprit. Air enters the cabin via two sources; vents below the windshield or intakes in the cabin for air that\u2019s recirculated within the cabin itself. If either of the intakes are clogged such as by leaves or debris, there will be very little to no air blown through the vents.\n\n\n4. The Air Smells Moldy\n\n\nIf the air from the vents has a moldy or foul scent to it, there\u2019s likely bacteria growth in the system. This one mostly affects older vehicles or those that always have the air-conditioning system on full blast as the extra moisture promotes bacterial growth.\n\n\nTry replacing the system\u2019s cabin filter for starters. It\u2019s an easy job and can even be done yourself depending on the car. If that doesn\u2019t eradicate the stench, an air-conditioning specialist will add an antibacterial chemical into the evaporator area that eliminates all the bacteria.\n\n\n5. The System Makes Weird Noises When Switched On\n\n\nThe air-conditioning system is relatively quiet when in use. In fact, the only noise should be the air being blown out the vents. Depending on the noise, it could be a small issue like a squeaky compressor accessory belt or a major one such as the compressor\u2019s clutch failing.\n\n\nThis one\u2019s best left to the experts. Let them identify the source of the errant sound and advise you on the next course of action.\n\n\n6. Water on the Front Footwell\n\n\nThere is a drain line along the evaporator or cooling coil behind the dashboard that\u2019s meant to collect moisture from condensation and channel it out of the vehicle. Over time, the drain line can become clogged. If this happens, the condensation will drip out and fall onto the carpeted floor in the front footwell.\n\n\nIf left unchecked, the water in the footwell will not only give off that wet carpet smell but also lead to rust on the floorboards. A specialist technician will identify the source of the clog and fix it accordingly.\n\n\nRead More:\u00a0\nWhat Is a Car Engine Overhaul and When to Do It\n\n\nPractise Regular Maintenance\n\n\nMost of us are sticklers with the engine\u2019s scheduled maintenance like oil changes and spark plugs replacements. Understandably, the air-conditioning system doesn\u2019t always get the attention it deserves but we implore you to change that mindset.\n\n\nJust like every other key system in your vehicle, the air-conditioning system requires periodic maintenance as well.\n\n\nFor starters, always run the system for a few minutes at least once a week. However, this being Malaysia we\u2019re pretty sure that\u2019s not an issue for most of us.\n\n\nNext up, remember to have the system inspected by an air-conditioning specialist at least annually. They\u2019ll give it a proper once-over and identify any components that require servicing or replacing.\n\n\nEach vehicle will have a recommended service interval by the manufacturer as well. This will cover aspects such as replacing the refrigerant and cabin filter as well as servicing the compressor if needed or fitting a new drive belt.\n\n\nLook after your car\u2019s air-conditioning system and it\u2019ll keep you cool for years to come.\n\n", "Devan S\nDevan believes written content is here to stay despite our depleting attention span and the rise of short videos.

But do you know how an alternator works and what are the signs of a malfunctioning alternator? Seeing how vital an alternator is in powering your car, knowing how to identify car alternator problem signs before they become major issues can be extremely helpful. After all, it could prevent you from getting stranded at the side of the road with a \nbroken-down car\n.\n\n\n\n\nWhat Is the Function of a Car Alternator?\n\n\nThe alternator works together with the battery to keep your car running. While the battery provides the initial power to start your car when it\u2019s turned off, the car alternator functions to keep most of the electrical parts powered while the engine is running. It powers components such as the radio, headlights, and power windows while your car is idling and moving around.\u00a0\n\n\nWhen the engine is running, it powers a drive belt that turns a pulley attached to the alternator\u2019s rotor shaft. This shaft then spins a set of magnets which generates alternating current (AC). The alternator\u2019s rectifier converts this AC power into direct current (DC) power which keeps the electrical components running and charges the car battery while on the road.\n\n\n6 Car Alternator Problem Signs\n\n\nWhile a car alternator usually lasts the car\u2019s lifetime, it can deteriorate and malfunction under certain circumstances. Factors such as normal wear and tear, damaged parts, exposure to water or heat, and overuse can cause your alternator to stop working. In general, your car warning lights indicate if there are issues with any components. However, there are other car alternator problem signs to look out for to determine if your alternator is about to give out.\n\n\n1. The Battery Warning Light Comes On\n\n\nWhen the battery \nwarning light\n on the dashboard lights up, it may not always indicate a malfunctioning battery. It could indicate a number of issues including issues with the car alternator, a loose battery cable, and more. This warning light connects to the vehicle\u2019s computer system which detects the voltage output from the alternator. It can light up when the voltage goes below or above the standard operating voltage of the alternator which is typically around 13 to 14.5 V. The battery warning light in most cars is shaped like a battery. However, some cars have the characters ALT (alternator) or GEN (generator) warning lights instead.\n\n\nRead: \nMore Car Warning Lights Explained\n\n\n2. Dim or Flickering Lights\n\n\nBesides a warning light, another car alternator problem sign is when the lights on your car go dim or start flickering. As you know, the alternator provides steady power to the electrical components including all the lights. That\u2019s why a malfunctioning alternator can affect the lighting of your car. If you notice the lights on your car get brighter when accelerating and dimmer when slowing down, it may indicate some damage to your car alternator.\u00a0\n\n\nAnother sign that your alternator isn\u2019t delivering enough power to your lights is if they are flickering. Although these issues don\u2019t seem major, they are reliable indications that your alternator may eventually stop working completely.\n\n\n3. Whining, Growling, or Grinding Sounds from the Engine\n\n\nWhile engine noises are normal, there are some sounds that may indicate your car alternator is going bad. These sounds are typically whining, growling, or grinding sounds from the engine. These sounds may indicate a number of problems with the moving parts of the alternator. They may be the result of a misaligned pulley, a worn-out belt, or other damaged parts. If you hear any odd sounds from your car, it\u2019s best to get it checked at the workshop.\n\n\n4. The Smell of Burning Rubber or Plastic\n\n\nFoul smells such as burning rubber or plastic wires can be a sign of damage to your alternator. Since the alternator\u2019s drive belt is constantly rotating and exposed to constant heat, friction, and tension, it may wear out and emit a smell like burnt rubber. If there are damaged wires or if the alternator is being pushed past its limit, it can also produce the smell of burning plastic. When a car alternator sends too much electricity through its wires, the wires can overheat, which produces the smell. Damaged wires also have a higher electrical resistance which may cause them to heat up excessively.\n\n\n5. Unable to Start the Car or Frequent Stalling\n\n\nWhen a car can\u2019t start up, the causes are usually a dead \nbattery\n or a bad alternator. If you\u2019re unable to start your car even if it has a new battery or that it\u2019s in good condition, the next most likely issue is a malfunctioning alternator. If your car frequently stalls while driving, it could mean that the alternator isn\u2019t sending enough power to the spark plugs and coils to keep the engine running.\n\n\nThere are ways to test if you have an issue with your battery or alternator. If you can start your car only to have it die immediately, it\u2019s usually a sign of an electrical failure; your car alternator may not be delivering enough power to charge your battery. However, if after jumpstarting your car, you\u2019re unable to start it up the next time with its own power, you most likely have a dead battery. To identify electrical issues in your car, you can consider getting a voltmeter. This device measures the voltage between two points on a circuit and you can use it to quickly test the voltage on your battery or alternator.\n\n\n6. Malfunctioning Electrical Components\n\n\nSince a car alternator functions to supply electricity to your car\u2019s electrical components, malfunctioning components may indicate a problem with your alternator. One example is when your power windows stop working or operate slower than usual. Other components that may be affected include the windshield wipers, power locks, and radio.\u00a0\n\n\nMost modern cars have onboard computers that are programmed to prioritize certain components when there isn\u2019t enough electricity. This means that when you have a malfunctioning alternator, the computer will cut power to non-essential equipment first such as the radio or folding side mirrors before cutting power to vital accessories like the headlights.\n\n\n\n\nCauses of a Faulty Alternator\n\n\nThe lifetime of an alternator usually depends on the load it has, its pulley, and drive belt. A typical alternator lasts the lifetime of the car. However, if you have an older vehicle, it\u2019s recommended to periodically check the voltage on its battery and alternator. Make sure it\u2019s around 13.5 V and that the alternator functions without odd noises. Below are several factors that can cause your car alternator to deteriorate faster than usual.\n\n\n\n\nFluid leakages into the alternator. Fluid such as engine oil or power steering fluid can leak into the alternator causing it to malfunction. To prevent this, it\u2019s recommended to \ncheck and service your car\n on time.\n\n\nExcessive idling with the use of multiple equipment such as radio and air conditioning can overwork the alternator. This puts a strain on the alternator and speeds up wear and tear.\n\n\nModern cars with numerous car accessories are more prone to having alternator malfunction. The electrical components such as heated seats, sunroof, navigation unit, and other components running concurrently can put a higher load on the car alternator.\n\n\nSince the alternator is located at the bottom of the engine, it\u2019s more exposed to water and road debris. These elements can enter and damage the alternator.\n\n\n\n\nCar Alternator Cost in Malaysia\n\n\nThe cost of repairing and replacing a car alternator depends on the model, make, year, and configuration of your car. It can cost anywhere from RM100 to RM300 for an alternator, with the labor cost of replacing it ranging from RM50 to RM100. The estimated costs of a Perodua Myvi alternator are RM165 (for a Myvi 1.0), RM185 (for a Myvi 1.3), and RM210 (for a Myvi 1.5). However, the price also depends on the type of alternator; whether it\u2019s an OEM, reconditioned, or original manufacturer\u2019s alternator. Original parts tend to be costlier than OEM parts.\n\n\nWe hope this article has helped you learn more about your car alternator and its functions, as well as help you identify any car alternator problem signs. If you notice any of the signs mentioned above, be sure to get them checked immediately and solve them to prevent unnecessary costs further down the road.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking to \nbuy a used car\n or \nsell your own\n, visit CARSOME for more information.

In fact, everything that\u2019s hidden from your field of vision is all the more important as it could very well be something you end up \ncolliding with\n.\n\n\nWhat\u2019s a Blind Spot?\n\n\nYou\u2019ve probably heard the term before, likely in driving school. Your driving instructor would have mentioned it while you were being taught to adjust your side-view and rear-view mirrors.\n\n\nOn a side note, that\u2019s also the primary reason your instructor would\u2019ve taught you to always glance over your shoulders to ascertain your surroundings and not relying solely on the side-view mirrors.\n\n\nNonetheless, what exactly does it mean?\n\n\nAs the name suggests, a blind spot is an area of the car\u2019s immediate surrounding that cannot be seen through the rear-view or side-view mirrors. Any car will have it, even the diminutive \nPerodua Axia\n.\n\n\n\n\nThe reason blind spots are so dangerous is that the area out of view can be large enough to hide another vehicle from your field of view.\n\n\nLet\u2019s delve into an example to better understand the immense risks without checking your blind spots on the road.\n\n\nSay you\u2019re stuck behind a slower car on the highway and haste needs to be made. You glance over to your right-view mirror and the coast appears clear. Cue hitting that indicator to signal your intended lane change to the right.\n\n\nJust as you\u2019ve turned the steering a little and your car\u2019s begun transitioning into the lane on the right, you hear a horn blaring from that side.\n\n\nIt\u2019s coming from a car on the right lane that\u2019s had to get on the brakes to avoid you turning right into it and causing a collision.\n\n\nYou quickly yank the steering to bring your car back into your current lane before giving a timid wave of the hand to the driver to apologize whilst wondering where on earth that car popped out from.\n\n\nThat car wasn\u2019t conjured out from the shadow realm, it was in your blind spot that was obscured from that quick glance into the side-view mirror.\n\n\nRead More: \nProper & Safe Driving Attire\n\n\nWhere Are the Blind Spots in a Car?\n\n\nMost cars have at least two main blind spots. They are the area behind your side-view mirrors and next to both your front and rear doors on each side of the car.\n\n\nAdditionally, the design of the vehicle can also create blind spots depending on the placement and thickness of the pillars. After all, if function dictated all car designs, it\u2019ll make for some pretty mundane form.\n\n\nIn most cars, the usual culprit are the A-pillars. The A-pillar is the upright pillar between the sides of the windscreen and the upper-front of the front doors that arches up into the roof. Depending on the design, the pillars could create a blind spot towards the sides of the fenders that prevents you from seeing oncoming cars or pedestrians as you exit a junction.\n\n\nIn larger \nSUVs\n, the C- and even D-pillars (usually on SUVs with a third row) can be rather wide, further contributing to the two primary blind spots mentioned above. Let\u2019s not even go into panel vans that further reduce the field of vision from their rear-view mirror.\n\n\n\n\nImage source: Edmunds.com\n\n\nWhen Should I Check My Blind Spots?\n\n\nAt the very same time your driving instructor introduced you to blind spots, he or she most likely drilled into you the habit of checking said blind spots each and every time prior to making a lane change or a turn.\n\n\nFor instance, before making a lane change you should glance into your rear- and side-view mirrors but your instructor would have taught you to also take a quick glance over your shoulder towards the side you\u2019re transitioning to. This move may help you pick out other cars, motorcycles, or even pedestrians depending on the situation.\n\n\nRead More: \nKeep Yourself Safe With These Items From Car Accessory Stores\n\n\nIs There a Way to Eliminate or Reduce Blind Spots?\n\n\nHuman evolution hasn\u2019t yet reached the stage of growing eyes on the back of our heads but there are ways to narrow the width of those blind spots.\n\n\nThere are now methods to adjust the side-view mirrors to reduce or even completely eliminate these spots. Here are the steps towards achieving that:\n\n\n\n\n It starts with the rear-view mirror. Do not attempt anything different with this. As the name suggests, this mirror\u2019s sole purpose is to give you a view of the rear. Once you\u2019ve adjusted yourself into the optimal seating position, move the mirror to give you the best and most direct view straight out the rear windshield. Don\u2019t attempt to tilt it towards the side to try and compensate for a view of traffic on either side of your car. That\u2019s the purpose of the side-view mirrors.\n\n\n Now, lean your head until it just touches the driver\u2019s side window. Then, adjust the mirror on that side until you can barely see the side of your car and nothing more. Do not push the mirror any wider until you cannot see the side of the car.\n\n\n Repeat the same process for the other side by leaning your head towards the middle of the car and adjusting the mirror on the opposite side until you can just barely see the left side of your car. Once you\u2019ve done this and straightened your head, you shouldn\u2019t be able to see the sides of your car. Do not panic! This is intentional as it gives you a much wider field of view.\n\n\n Your side-view mirrors are now positioned optimally to reduce and almost eliminate the two primary blind spots on each side. The final step is to ensure the effectiveness of the adjustments. As you\u2019re driving on a four-lane road or highway, keep to the rightmost lane and note any vehicle in the left lane approaching you to pass. Without tilting your head to either side, glance in the rear-view mirror and track the car as it gains on your left side. As it disappears from your rear-view mirror, glance to the left side-view mirror and you should be able to clearly see the car. Lastly, as it disappears from the side-view mirror, it should appear in your peripheral vision. The result is you\u2019ve successfully eliminated the blind spot on your sides as you\u2019ve been able to keep track of the car without turning over your shoulder. Try the same thing with the other side and make slight adjustments if you notice a blind spot for even a split second.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nRead More:\n \nTop Holiday Destinations for a Budget Vacation in Malaysia\n\n\n\n\nIs There Anything Else I Can Do to Reduce Blind Spots?\n\n\nMore and more modern vehicles are being equipped with BLIS (BLind spot Information System); first introduced by Volvo. The system uses a camera or sensor located under the housing of the side-view mirror to detect a vehicle in the blind spot and alert the driver by illuminating a warning light on the tip of the side-view mirror or on the inside of the car right by the mirror.\n\n\nOptionally, there are plenty of aftermarket solutions that utilize a convex blind spot mirror stuck on the edge of your side-view mirror. These curved mirrors give you a wider field of view that covers the blind spot.\n\n\nConclusion\n\n\nTo be a safe driver, your situational awareness needs to be at its highest level and one of the key components to that means being aware of the vehicles and space around your car while driving.\n\n\nEliminating your blind spots will create a wider field of view behind the wheel in case any emergency maneuvers are required.\n\n\nTherefore, it is paramount that you take some time to discover the blind spots in your usual driving position and learn to reduce or eliminate them by adjusting your mirrors according to the method recommended.\n\n\nIt might be a small step but it will play a huge role in making you a much safer driver on the road.\n\n", "Amarnath", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Berikut merupakan senarai barang untuk \ncamping\n atau\n checklist\n barang \ncamping\n yang mungkin anda perlukan untuk membantu menjadikan percutian anda lebih menyeronokkan.\n\n\n1. Beg Tidur, Selimut dan Bantal\n\n\nTilam (\ninflatable mattress\n), selimut dan bantal (\ninflatable camping pillow\n) merupakan antara peralatan \ncamping\n penting yang wajib ada semasa berkhemah. Biasanya, suhu di kawasan perkhemahan atau rekreasi lebih sejuk pada waktu malam dan awal pagi disebabkan oleh kawasan persekitaran yang dikelilingi tumbuh-tumbuhan. Oleh sebab itu, beg tidur, selimut atau bantal merupakan antara barang yang perlu dibawa untuk \ncamping. \nNamun sekiranya anda mempunyai ruang simpanan yang terhad, anda boleh mempertimbangkan beg tidur (\nsleeping bag\n) sahaja \u2013 ia boleh menjimatkan ruang dan boleh menjalankan fungsi tilam dan selimut sekali gus.\n\n\n2. Dapur Gas Mudah Alih\n\n\nSecara amnya, barangan dapur untuk perkhemahan atau \ncamping stove\n merupakan salah satu item wajib ada semasa berkhemah. Ia membolehkan aktiviti memasak dilakukan dengan lebih cepat dan mudah tanpa perlu menghidupkan api menggunakan kayu. Biasanya, saiz dan jenis \ncamping stove\n yang perlu dibawa bergantung pada saiz (bilangan ahli) dan ruang kereta anda. Anda mungkin memerlukan \ncamping stove\n yang lebih besar sekiranya melibatkan bilangan ahli yang lebih ramai. Anda boleh mempertimbangkan dapur gas boleh lipat dua pembakar (\ntwo-burner folding gas stove\n) atau dapur gas satu pembakar bergantung pada keperluan dan bilangan ahli perkhemahan anda.\n\n\nSelain itu, anda mungkin juga boleh mempertimbangkan peralatan memasak perkhemahan lain seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPinggan dan gelas;\n\n\nSudu dan garfu;\n\n\nSet memasak\n outdoor\n \u2013 kuali, periuk, sudip, senduk dan sebagainya;\n\n\nCerek air atau botol air;\n\n\nGas stove refill \u2013 \nsebagai persediaan sekiranya pemetik dapur gas rosak atau kehabisan gas semasa berkhemah;\n\n\nPek minuman dan makanan segera seperti maggi, milo, kopi, teh dan sebagainya;\n\n\nKerajang aluminium (\naluminium foil\n);\n\n\nSabun mencuci, span dan baldi;\n\n\nPlastik sampah.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. \nFire Starter\n\n\nApi boleh dikatakan salah satu elemen penting yang diperlukan semasa berkhemah \u2013 ia digunakan bertujuan untuk memasak atau memanaskan badan. Oleh sebab itu, penting untuk anda membawa bersama \nfire starter\n (peralatan wajib \ncamping\n) untuk memudahkan anda. \nFire starter\n secara amnya merujuk pada bahan mudah terbakar yang digunakan untuk membantu menyalakan api. Kayu api yang mungkin lembab disebabkan hujan atau embun mungkin menyukarkan anda untuk menyalakan api dengan mudah.\n\n\n4. Air Mineral Botol Besar\n\n\nSelain api, air juga merupakan antara peralatan wajib \ncamping\n. Air memainkan peranan penting terhadap tubuh badan manusia. Kekurangan air dalam badan boleh mengakibatkan dehidrasi yang boleh menyebabkan sakit kepala, sembelit, kejang otot dan mulut kering. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk membawa botol minuman bersaiz besar bergantung pada keperluan anda. Malah, sumber air bersih ini juga boleh digunakan untuk memasak, membasuh peralatan memasak atau untuk membersihkan badan. Sebagai langkah keselamatan, anda boleh mempertimbangkan penapis air mudah alih (\nportable water filter\n) untuk digunakan dalam situasi kecemasan.\n\n\n5. Lampu Suluh, Lampu Kepala LED\n\n\nSekiranya anda memilih untuk berkhemah di kawasan rekreasi, hutan atau pergunungan, sudah pasti sumber pencahayaan amat terhad. Anda mungkin perlu bergantung sepenuhnya pada sumber cahaya semula jadi seperti bulan atau unggun api. Oleh sebab itu, peralatan seperti lampu suluh atau lampu kepala LED penting sebagai sumber cahaya tambahan untuk digunakan semasa berkhemah. Di pasaran, terdapat pelbagai jenis lampu suluh dijual \u2013 anda mungkin boleh mempertimbangkan lampu suluh yang menggunakan tenaga solar.\n\n\n6. Kit Peralatan \nCamping\n\n\nKit peralatan \ncamping\n atau \noutdoor survival gear\n merupakan antara item yang boleh anda pertimbangkan untuk aktiviti perkhemahan. Dengan harga \nsurvival gear\n dalam pasaran sekitar RM100 hingga RM200, anda boleh memiliki beberapa peralatan \ncamping\n penting seperti tukul, pemutar skru, pisau, gunting, tali dan sebagainya.

Pakaian untuk \nCamping\n\n\nAnda disarankan untuk merancang pakaian untuk \ncamping\n yang perlu dibawa dengan teliti. Bawa pakaian yang bersesuaian dengan lokasi perkhemahan yang akan dituju. Selain itu, pemilihan pakaian untuk \ncamping\n yang sesuai juga bergantung pada cuaca dan aktiviti yang akan dilakukan. Pastikan anda juga membawa kasut yang tahan lasak dan selesa untuk digunakan. Bawa bersama selipar untuk memudahkan pergerakan di sekitar kawasan perkhemahan atau semasa mandi. Anda boleh merujuk\n checklist\n pakaian untuk \ncamping\n yang perlu dibawa seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBaju harian \u2013 seluar pendek atau panjang (bergantung pada keperluan anda);\n\n\nStokin;\n\n\nSeluar dan baju tidur;\n\n\nBaju panas atau \nsweater;\n\n\nBaju hujan;\n\n\nSelipar;\n\n\nKasut \nhiking\n atau kasut getah.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9. Barangan Penjagaan dan Kebersihan Diri\n\n\nAspek penjagaan dan kebersihan diri perlu dititikberatkan semasa melakukan aktiviti perkhemahan. Pastikan anda membawa peralatan penjagaan diri seperti sabun, berus dan ubat gigi, tuala mandi, tuala wanita, tisu basah dan lain-lain. Anda juga disarankan untuk membawa losen penghalau serangga dan pelindung matahari untuk melindungi kulit anda daripada panas matahari. Selain itu, anda juga boleh mempertimbangkan barangan keperluan\n camping\n peribadi lain seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMandian dan syampu \n\u2013 \nsekiranya ada kemudahan tandas awam;\n\n\nCecair pensanitasi tangan atau \nhand sanitizer;\n\n\nBerus gigi dan ubat gigi;\n\n\nSikat, tuala;\n\n\nPencuci muka;\n\n\nDeodorant\n.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10. \nCooler Box\n\n\nSekiranya anda melakukan \ncar camping\n di kawasan terpencil, anda digalakkan untuk membawa makanan \ncamping\n Malaysia yang tidak mudah rosak seperti roti, mentega kacang dan buah-buahan kering. Anda juga boleh mempertimbangkan makanan \ncamping\n mudah seperti kacang, biskut, sambal kering atau makanan dalam tin yang telah diproses. Namun sekiranya anda melakukan \ncar camping\n di kawasan yang menyediakan akses asas seperti tandas, bekalan kuasa elektrik dan sebagainya, anda boleh mempertimbangkan untuk membawa makanan yang disimpan di dalam kotak penyejuk atau \ncooler box\n.\n\n\nBagi anda yang memerlukan makanan berat dalam diet harian dan tidak boleh bertahan dengan hanya menikmati granola, biskut atau roti \u2013 \ncooler box\n merupakan penyelesaian yang ideal untuk anda semasa semasa berkhemah. Dengan \ncooler box\n, anda boleh membawa pelbagai jenis barangan makanan termasuk barangan mudah rosak seperti susu, telur, ayam, daging, ikan, sayur-sayuran dan sebagainya.\n\n\n\n\nMeskipun anda membawa pelbagai jenis barang untuk \ncamping\n, anda masih lagi perlu memastikan kereta \ncamping\n anda berada dalam keadaan teratur. Untuk akses barangan yang lebih mudah, anda boleh meletakkan setiap kategori barang keperluan \ncamping\n dalam bekas yang berbeza \u2013 barang wajib\n camping\n seperti khemah, makanan \ncamping \natau barang keperluan untuk berkhemah lain. Ia secara tidak langsung memudahkan anda untuk mengakses dan mengeluarkan barangan yang perlu digunakan.\n\n\nBarangan yang penting seperti seperti lampu, pengecas mudah alih (\npowerbank\n) atau kamera boleh disimpan di konsol tengah atau kompartmen hadapan untuk akses yang lebih mudah ketika memerlukannya.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nKereta Terbakar?

However, Malaysia is highly prone to landslides and floods which always make waves around the country whenever the monsoon season is around.\u00a0\n\n\nSource: \nIIUM Today\n\n\nIf your car has been flooded as of the reading of this article, we\u2019d like to offer our sincere condolences. Dealing with a flooded vehicle isn\u2019t easy if you have ever gotten caught in one. To some, a car may be the pride and joy of your life and to others, a necessary mode of transport. When the flood waters finally subside, you have a few options on how to deal with a flooded car.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nHow I Saved My Honda Jazz From Extensive Flood Damage\n\n\nSend It To The Mechanic For Repairs\n\n\nUnless the car chassis is wrecked and written off as a total loss by your insurance company, you can still repair a flooded car. However, bear in mind the exact cost to repair your car varies from make and model, damage condition, parts required, and manpower costs depending on the workshop. Japanese, Korean and domestic branded cars are generally \neasier and cheaper\n to repair. In comparison with continental brands, their replacement parts cost much higher. Even if you can afford them, the additional mechanical complexity of continental cars will warrant multiple visits to the workshop. Pay attention to car workshops around you if you live in a flood-prone area. What type of cars are always left there sitting in a workshop?\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-2t9XI8Vhc\n\n\nRepairing a flooded car is really an up-to-you decision. If the car holds sentimental value to you, sure, it\u2019s a good choice. However, bear in mind that when it\u2019s time to sell the car, the resale value of it will go much lower than the market price due to having a history of mingling in flood waters.\u00a0\n\n\nThe car chassis has plenty of nooks and crevices giving it a chance for water to accumulate inside. Even the most experienced workshop and car wash cannot dry it out completely and over time, the moisture will oxidize the car\u2019s chassis causing rust to accumulate. The good news is this process will take a long time and is not a 100% guarantee that rust will even occur if the excessive heat has caused the moisture to be dried out. So unless the car holds a huge sentimental value, it is not really advisable as it can be a money pit once the rust starts to appear.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nWhat is a Hydrolocked Car and Why It\u2019s Important to Learn About It\n\n\nClaim Insurance For your Flooded Car\n\n\nMalaysia is fortunate enough to be blessed with few natural disasters in the country. However, there are still some areas in the country that are prone to floods and landslides. This is where special perils \ninsurance\n comes in. For the uninitiated, \nspecial perils coverage\n is an additional add-on package to your \ninsurance plan\n should you get yourself a flooded car or any natural disasters in general. Do contact your insurance provider and ask about the special perils package.\n\n\nHowever, some may argue that \ncar insurance\n is unnecessary because they believe they are a safe driver and live far away from natural disaster-prone areas. If the situation comes where your car does get caught in a flood, you won\u2019t be getting the full value of your vehicle back. At most, you can only sell it to a used car dealer or a scrap yard for pennies. If your insurance provider has it, paying that extra for the special perils insurance goes a long way when another \nmonsoon season\n is just around the corner.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nHow To Spot a Flooded Car for Sale Before It\u2019s Too Late!\n\n\nIf you don\u2019t know which \ninsurance company\n provides one, here is a list of companies in Malaysia that offer them:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nEtiqa Malaysia\n\n\nAllianz Malaysia\n\n\nMSIG Malaysia\n\n\nAIA\n\n\nAIG Malaysia\n\n\n\n\nSell it For Scrap at a Junkyard or at a Salvage Auction\n\n\nWhen the worst has finally arrived, you may be looking for a final resting place for your beloved ride. At best, you have two choices \u2013 a used car dealer or a \nscrapyard\n. Even a car that is written off as a total loss still has use even in death. Ever heard of organ donors? Just like harvesting organs among registered deceased human donors, there are prospective buyers that may be looking for valuable parts in your wrecked vehicles. Selling a refurbished car to a used car dealer will not even guarantee you\u2019ll be getting your money back after dropping a small fortune at a workshop either.\u00a0\n\n\nAll you need is to locate the nearest scrap dealer that takes in cars of all conditions especially flooded ones and be clear up front to them that your car is a flooded car. Ask them for an evaluation of your vehicle and a workshop foreman will assess the value of the car based on the weight, the value of the metal, and other usable parts. In addition, you would also need to provide proof of ownership and any relevant documentation that you own the car. Once an agreed sum is reached, which won\u2019t be a lot given the car is a total write-off, your flooded car will be chopped up and stripped for parts.\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXMLlXXT_KI\n\n\nIn some cases, there are companies that provide a platform for others to bid on your flooded car and would pay handsomely depending on the make and model for parts or as a restoration project. \nPickles Malaysia\n, for example, offers this service and the payout will be much higher than sending your flooded car to any run-off-the-mill scrap yard.

More often than not, we will encounter a rain shower and damp roads while driving these few weeks.\n\n\nDuring this period, car maintenance and driver safety become much more important. You need to be a bit more diligent in maintaining your car, as well as paying more attention on the road in order to reach your destination safely.\n\n\nHere are some simple tips you can follow to make it through the rain unscathed.\n\n\nCaring for Your Car During the Rainy Season\n\n\nPark In a Covered Area\n\n\nWater is your car\u2019s worst enemy. It corrodes metal, attacks seals, and may lead to leaks. Parking your car outdoors leaves it exposed to the rain, leading to much accelerated wear and tear.\n\n\nThus, if possible, always park your car in a covered parking lot. Whether it is underneath your house\u2019s porch or in a basement parking lot, make sure your car stays dry and out of the rain.\n\n\nMaintain Your Tires\n\n\nYour tires make the difference between safely negotiating a corner and an accident. This is doubly more so in the rain.\n\n\nIn the wet, the grooves on your tires displace the water between the road and the rubber, ensuring grip. If the tires are worn, grip is reduced significantly. Hence, you need to check for tread wear and ensure your tires are inflated correctly to your car manufacturer\u2019s specifications.\n\n\nRead more: \nWhat you need to know about car tires\n\n\nCheck Your Windshield Wipers\n\n\nWithout your windshield wipers, you will be driving blind in a rainstorm. Thus, it is crucial they work as intended. They should clean evenly without any squeaking noises. Replace them if they do not.\n\n\nWhile doing that, you can also take this opportunity to ensure your windows are clean. Having maximum visibility is vital when driving in the rain, and clean windows are key to this.\n\n\nClean and Wax Your Car\n\n\nMaintaining a clean car not only looks nice, it also prolongs the life of the paintwork. Your car\u2019s paint is not just decorative \u2013 it also serves as protection for the metal underneath.\n\n\nUnfortunately, wet weather can wreak havoc on paint. To prevent that, you can \napply a layer of protective wax\n to your car. Wax acts as a water repellent, where mud and rainwater can easily roll off. This not only helps prevent corrosion, it will also help your car preserve its like-new shine.\n\n\nCheck Your Battery\n\n\nDriving in the rain can cause more battery drain. Humid weather can also cause corrosion to the battery terminals and drain it overnight.\n\n\nPay attention to signs like dimming lights, difficulty in starting the car etc as they indicate a stressed battery. You also need to be aware of increased electrical issues during the rainy season as water can corrode wiring easily.\n\n\n\n\nDriving Safely in the Rain\n\n\nTurn Your Lights On\n\n\nTurning your lights on during a downpour is not just for you, it\u2019s also for other drivers to see you. A good rule is that when your windshield wipers are on, turn your lights on as well.\n\n\nNote that you should not turn on your hazard lights. Hazard lights are only for when your car is stationary. Turning on hazards during the rain will only confuse other drivers, and rain driving is not a good time to be confused.\n\n\nSlow Down\n\n\nDriving slowly but steadily in the rain is key to getting home safely. Reducing your speed gives you time to react to anything happening around you, while being mindful of other drivers. Braking distances also increase in the wet, so cutting your speed is vital to stopping in time.\n\n\nStay Calm\n\n\nNo matter how heavy the rain gets, you need to stay calm and steady. Anxiety can lead to erratic driving and jerky movements, which may lead to your car spinning out of control. Stopping by the side of the road is an even bigger no-no, as reduced visibility and reduced grip will vastly increase the chance of crashing into a stationary vehicle.\n\n\nConcentrate Fully on Driving\n\n\nEven during normal conditions, you should be focusing on the road fully. When it rains, you need to dial that concentration up to 110%. Leave plenty of space between you and other drivers, and always expect the worst.\n\n\n\n\nGet a Rain-capable Car with Carsome\n\n\nWhen you buy a car with Carsome, you can expect the car to handle the rain as well as any other car.

Anda kena pasang car coating dahulu. Ramai yang tak tahu betapa pentingnya untuk pastikan cat kereta kekal tanpa pudar sepanjang anda memandu dan ramai juga yang tak tahu kepentingan car coating ini.\u00a0\n\n\nAntara perkara yang boleh menjejaskan nilai sesebuah kereta ialah cat kereta yang pudar. Kalau warna cat kereta anda pudar, maka nilai kereta anda akan jatuh teruk! Disebabkan itulah kalau anda nak jaga nilai kereta anda, berbelanjalah sedikit untuk lindungi lapisan cat kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nCara Cuci Kereta, Tips Cuci Enjin dan Polish Kereta dengan Betul\n\n\n\n\nKalau kereta baru keluar kedai, biasanya pada permukaan badan kereta sudah ada satu lapisan kemasan nipis untuk melindungi cat kereta. Tetapi lama-kelamaan lapisan kemasan itu akan hilang kerana terdedah dengan cuaca panas dan juga hujan yang boleh merosakkan warna cat kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nSelain daripada hujan dan panas, perkara-perkara ini pun boleh merosakkan lapisan cat iaitu:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCecair brek\u00a0\n\n\nNajis burung\u00a0\n\n\nSerangga\u00a0\n\n\nGetah pokok\n\n\nKopi dan air bergas\n\n\nMinyak kereta\n\n\nHabuk dan debu\n\n\nHujan \nasid\n\n\n\n\nKalau tidak dibersihkan dengan segera, ini boleh menyebabkan lapisan cat kereta pudar dan menggelupas. Tapi anda pun bukannya selalu ada masa nak bersihkan segala macam korotan yang melekat di kereta dan akhirnya cat kereta anda akan rosak.\u00a0\n\n\nKerana itulah, seawal mungkin anda kena pasang lapisan perlindungan untuk kereta anda. Dalam pasaran, ada bermacam jenis lapisan perlindungan yang boleh anda pilih. Daripada yang berharga murah sehinggalah ke harga premium.\u00a0\n\n\nBerikut merupakan senarai jenis-jenis perlindungan kereta yang ada di pasaran. Anda boleh pilih mana yang bersesuaian dengan bajet dan keperluan anda.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nCara Pemanduan Selamat Ketika Musim Hujan\n\n\n1. Paint Protection Film (PPF)\u00a0\n\n\n\u2018Paint Protection Film\u2019 atau PPF merupakan satu lapisan termoplastik jernih yang diperbuat daripada poliuretana. Walaupun diperbuat daripada plastik tetapi ia cukup kuat untuk melindungi kereta daripada calar, kotoran, dan cahaya matahari yang boleh merosakkan cat kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTempoh pemasangan untuk PPF ini juga tak lama dan anda boleh gunakan kereta anda terus tanpa perlu menunggu lama. Satu lagi sebab mengapa PPF ini menjadi pilihan ramai adalah ia mempunyai ciri \u2018self heal\u2019 atau ia akan terbaiki dengan sendiri jika ada tercalar. Apa yang anda perlu buat cuma menggunakan pistol haba untuk melekatkan kembali lapisan yang dan tercalar.\u00a0\n\n\nAntara kelebihan lain PPF ini ialah anda boleh pilih untuk pasang di keseluruhan kereta ataupun cuma sebahagian sahaja. Ada orang yang pasang PPF ini hanya pada bahagian hadapan kereta disebabkan bahagian itu lebih terdedah dan mudah untuk terkena calar.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau nak cakap tentang harga, PPF ini bermula daripada RM750 hinggalah RM3,000. Ini bergantung kepada model, ketebalan, dan bahagian kereta yang mana anda ingin pasang PPF ini.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Salutan Kaca (Glass Coating)\u00a0\n\n\nSalutan kaca (glass coating) ini tidak menggunakan walau sekeping pun kaca untuk menyalut kereta. Salutan ini dibuat daripada bahan silikon, bahan yang sama digunakan untuk membuat kaca. Sama seperti namanya, lapisan ini akan membuatkan kereta ini berkilat seperti kaca.\u00a0\n\n\nSalutan kaca ini akan terikat dengan cat kereta anda secara kimia menjadikannya kekal lama dan kotoran yang melekap pada kereta tidak akan menjejaskan warna cat. Ia juga\u00a0 tidak mudah tanggal.\u00a0\n\n\ncar wipers with red silicone coating sweep water from the car windshield 3d render against a cloudy sky\n\n\nSalutan kaca akan memberikan kemasan yang berkilat kepada kereta anda. Jadi, kalau kereta anda masuk kampung, satu kampung boleh cam kereta anda tau! Kereta anda akan menyinar dan menyilau.\u00a0\n\n\nHarga salutan kaca ini bermula daripada RM700 dan boleh meningkat hingga RM1,500 dan lebih bergantung kepada model kereta anda dan jenis kemasan yang ditawarkan oleh kedai.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Salutan Seramik (Ceramic Coating)\n\n\nSalutan seramik pun sama seperti salutan kaca, tiada sebiji pun pinggan seramik yang digunakan untuk disalut pada kereta anda. Sebenarnya salutan seramik ini juga dibuat daripada silikon tapi jenis yang berbeza iaitu silikon karbida.\u00a0\n\n\nSalutan ini juga akan melekap secara kimia pada cat kereta dan ia dicampur dengan sejenis cecair polimer untuk disalut pada kereta anda. Sebenarnya salutan seramik ini lebih kurang sama saja dengan salutan kaca dengan beberapa perbezaan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKalau anda mahukan air tak melekat pada cat kereta anda, salutan seramik adalah pilihan utama anda disebabkan salutan ini akan menjadikan permukaan kereta anda menjadi hidrofobik. Jadi, kereta akan jadi lebih mudah untuk dibersihkan.\n\n\nHarga bagi salutan seramik ini bermula daripada RM500 hingga lebih RM2,000. Harga ini berbeza mengikut berapa banyak lapisan yang ingin dipasang pada kereta anda. Ada juga kedai yang menawarkan salutan pada bahagian dalam kereta untuk kemasan yang lebih cantik.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Salutan Teflon (Teflon Coating)\n\n\nSama seperti salutan seramik dan juga salutan kaca, salutan teflon ini tidak menggunakan sebarang kuali tak melekat untuk dipasang pada kereta anda. Tetapi bahan yang digunakan dalam salutan ini sama seperti yang digunakan dalam kuali tak melekat.\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk memasang salutan ini, satu lapisan polimer fluro sintetik akan disemburkan pada permukaan kereta anda. Salutan ini akan membolehkan lapisan cat anda nampak berkilat dan apa saja kekotoran yang melekat pada kereta anda akan mudah dibersihkan.\u00a0\n\n\nSalutan ini juga akan terikat dengan cat kereta secara kimia menjadikan perlindungan yang optimum daripada unsur-unsur yang boleh merosakkan cat kereta. Harganya? Salutan ini boleh disembur pada kereta anda bermula daripada harga serendah RM800.\u00a0\n\n\nYang Mana Satu Idaman Kalbu?\u00a0\n\n\nAda bermacam jenis perlindungan yang ada dalam pasaran untuk kereta anda. Tapi nak pilih yang mana satu untuk kereta kesayangan anda? Tak apa kalau tak tahu, kami akan bantu anda untuk pilih \u2018coating\u2019 yang mana satu sesuai untuk anda.\u00a0\n\n\nAnda kena ingat, kesemua jenis lapisan car coating ini mempunyai satu persamaan, ia melindungi cat kereta anda. Tetapi rutin penjagaan tetap anda tak boleh tinggalkan untuk memastikan lapisan perlindungan kereta anda boleh bertahan lama.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKalau anda jenis yang kerap menggunakan kereta anda untuk tujuan kerja ataupun selalu memandu jarak jauh, kami menyarankan sama ada salutan seramik ataupun PPF yang tahan lasak serta boleh tahan lama.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda mahukan lapisan yang berkilat, maka salutan kaca adalah pilihan yang lebih sesuai untuk kereta anda memandangkan ia akan memberikan kemasan yang lebih cantik dan estetik.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \n10 Nasihat Terbaik Tentang Kereta daripada Ayah\n\n\nKalau anda nak tahu, salutan seramik dan salutan kaca sebenarnya mempunyai banyak persamaan, yang membezakan antara keduanya cumalah jenis bahan yang digunakan serta ketahanan terhadap bahan-bahan tertentu.\u00a0\n\n\nSalutan kaca tidak boleh dibasuh menggunakan bahan pencuci yang mempunyai pH yang terlalu berakali kerana ia boleh menjejaskan lapisan perlindungan yang dipasang. Oleh itu, rujuklah kedai tempat anda pasang car coating untuk penjagaan yang sesuai.\u00a0\n\n\nDan akhir sekali, pastikan pilih berdasarkan bajet yang anda ada. Janganlah pula anda beli perlindungan yang terlalu mahal tetapi bajet anda sangatlah ketat.

It can be caused by improperly parked cars, unseen obstacles, or falling debris hitting your car while you\u2019re driving.\n\n\nDents will lower your car\u2019s market value when you try to sell it in the future, so it\u2019s important to get it fixed. With a little bit of elbow grease and a couple of household items, you may be able to fix these accidental dents and it\u2019s actually easier than you think.\n\n\nLet\u2019s find out more about what type of dents that you can fix on your own and some simple steps that you can follow to repair them.\n\n\nDo note that there are various factors that determine the effectiveness of these tips such as the depth of the dent, material of the dented parts, as well as the severity of the dent so it might not work on all dent types and vehicles.\n\n\nDisclaimer: CARSOME would not be held liable or responsible for any damages to your private vehicle after following the information on our article or media.\n\n\nTypes of Dents\n\n\nRound Dents\n\n\nThe most common dent type is the round dent. It has a circular, dimple-like shape that is caused by soft or moderate impact from a large or spherical object on your car.\n\n\n\n\nWith a little bit of effort, you can easily fix round dents without having to worry about causing paint damage.\n\n\nCreased Dents\n\n\nWhen another object hits your car and it is dragged along the panel as your car continues moving, you will end up with a creased dent. You can identify this dent when you see a straight line at the bottom of the dent.\n\n\n\n\nUnless you have the necessary skill, it will be difficult to completely fix this type of dent. Other than having to strike the dent back into shape, you will also need to smoothen out the line caused by the dent using car body filler.\n\n\nExtreme Dents\n\n\nThis type of dent is usually created when your car hits a large object when moving quite fast. The result is a fairly deep dent with multiple creases in an irregular shape.\n\n\n\n\nGetting the affected panel back into its original shape is possible, but it will require a lot of work. And if the dent is too severe, it\u2019s best to replace the panel with a new one instead.\n\n\nDent, Dent, Go Away!\n\n\nUsing Boiling Water\n\n\nHeat is an important tool when you\u2019re trying to fix dents. The cheapest way you can obtain it is by using boiling water. This method works best on small to medium sized round and creased dents.\n\n\nSource: \nGiphy.com\n\n\nYou will need:\n\n\n\n\nBoiling water\n\n\nRubber gloves\n\n\n\n\nStep one\n: Carefully pour steaming hot water on the center of the dented area. After a while the dent should start to pop out on its own.\n\n\nStep two:\n If not, you would have to pop the dent out from the other side with your hands while wearing rubber gloves.\u00a0\n\n\nUsing a Plunger\n\n\nAside from using heat, you can also use a plunger to aid you in pulling out dents using its suction power. This method works best on small to medium sized round dents on a flat surface such as the side door panel, front hood, and boot.\n\n\nSource: \nhttp://justacarguy.blogspot.com/\n\n\nYou will need:\n\n\n\n\nA plunger\n\n\nBoiling water\n\n\n\n\nStep one\n: Pour boiling water over the dented area. The heat from the boiling water will make it more malleable.\n\n\nStep two\n: Position the plunger over the dent and ensure it is fixed properly before you start to pull. If the dented area is larger than the plunger, start from the edges first. If the dented area is smaller, place the plunger directly over it.\n\n\nStep three\n: Pull the plunger repeatedly in short quick motions until the dent is popped out. The plunger may move out of its position before the dent is flattened so all you need to do is position it properly and start again.\n\n\nUsing a Hair Dryer or Heat Gun\n\n\nAnother source of heat that you can use when trying to fix dents is a hair dryer or a hair gun. But you need to be extra careful while using this equipment as you could potentially melt or damage the car\u2019s panel while you attempt to fix the dents.\u00a0\n\n\nThis method works on small to large sized round and creased dents. You can also use this method to work on extreme dents but it will take a lot of effort and know-how to properly fix an extreme dent.\n\n\nSource: \nYagelski Youtube Channel\n\n\nYou will need:\n\n\n\n\nHeat gun or hair dryer\n\n\nRubber gloves\n\n\nCold water\n\n\n\n\nStep one\n: Set the heat gun or hair dryer on medium heat and apply heat to the dented area. Be sure to keep some distance from the car (about 10cm) or you will risk melting the panel or damaging the paint job.\n\n\nStep two\n: Once the dented area becomes flexible enough, push out the dent from the other side with your hands while wearing rubber gloves. Be extra careful as the surface will be quite hot.\n\n\nStep three\n: After the dent has popped out, you can pour ice cold water over the area to help it set quickly.\n\n\nThese tips that we highlighted should be effective when it comes to repairing most minor dents on your car. However, if these methods don\u2019t work, you might have a particularly stubborn dent that is best dealt by a professional instead.\n\n\nHopefully you will be able to get your vehicle looking as smooth and sexy as it did before.

You can encounter roadworks, breakdowns, getting lost after a wrong turn, a flat tire in the rain, and so on.\u00a0\n\n\nHaving the right car emergency kit in your car at all times will come in handy when you have to deal with the unexpected and keep you safe at the same time. \nBut make sure you plan your emergency car kit wisely. So, here are eight items to have in your emergency car kit before you drive out to your next destination.\n\n\nEight Must-Have Car Accessories in Your Emergency Kit\n\n\n1. Multi-PurposeWindow Hammer\n\n\nA multi-purpose window hammer is a safety device that can help in dire situations.\u00a0 Its primary use is for breaking through car windows and vertical glazing, which are usually tempered. In the event of a collision where you are unable to break through the doors, this window hammer can help you break free via your windows.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSome multi-purpose window hammers also come with a seat belt cutter and a small flashlight. Although, there are numerous hacks out there that use other objects found in a car to break windows, it is still best to bring along a window hammer as certain tempered windows require stronger force to break through them.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Fire Extinguisher\n\n\nA fire extinguisher is one of the most essential emergency items to have in your car at all times. Not only is it used to put out car fires, but it can also be used as a tool for self-defense.\u00a0\n\n\nMany car fires usually happen due to a short-circuit, and one kilogram (kg) of dry powder fire extinguisher is safe to be kept in any car. This extinguisher is ideally placed under the front passenger so that it is reachable in the event of an emergency and the price of one usually starts from RM70.\n\n\n3. First-Aid Kit\n\n\nNo one expects you to instantly turn into a medical hero in case of an emergency, but having a basic first aid kit in your car can surely help yourself and others. Not only would this kit help avoid the risk of more serious injuries, but in some cases, it can even save lives. Here are some of the items you should have in your first aid kit.\n\n\n\n\nMild antiseptic cleanser\n\n\nGauze pads\n\n\nCotton pads\n\n\nScissors\n\n\nAdhesive tape\n\n\nTriangular sling cloth\n\n\nCooling packs\n\n\nGloves\n\n\nBandages\n\n\nBand-aids\n\n\nThermometer\n\n\nMassage oil\n\n\nMedications such as paracetamols, pain-killers, and antihistamines\n\n\n\n\nFirst aid kits are usually available at any pharmacy for as low as RM30 and can go up to RM200 depending on the quality or brand.\n\n\n4. Jumper Cables\n\n\nCar batteries can drain out anytime and one of the common culprits is leaving the light on (external or internal) when the car is not running. But in the absence of any roadside emergency assistance, one way you can get your battery running again is by jump-starting it by connecting jumper cables to another car. How to use it is included in your car\u2019s manual, so do read it carefully because if it is done incorrectly, the damage it can bring to your car can be serious and costly.\n\n\n\n\nDepending on the type of cables that you buy, a set can cost you around RM50. You can also find jumper cables that use a certain \u2018powerbank\u2019 instead of another car to recharge the dead battery.\n\n\nRead also\n: \nHow to Maintain Your Car Engine During MCO\n\n\n5. Dashboard Camera\n\n\nA car\u2019s \u2018dashboard\u2019 camera is a must-have for cars that are not built-in with it. This camera records your journey and the incidents that happen along the way, especially if you are involved in a road accident \u2013 you can use the footage to review the incident, as well as provide evidence if another party is at fault.\u00a0\n\n\nSo, if there are no witnesses or street cameras around, the recording from your dashboard camera will be able to help you as you file a police report for a car collision, or if anything out of the ordinary occurs.\u00a0\n\n\n6. Water\n\n\nWater is usually the most common item that is always overlooked in a car\u2019s emergency kit. Not only are they thirst quenchers, but\n water can be a life-saver if your car breaks down by the roadside or in a remote area. Water is also useful for cleaning out wounds, topping up a nearly empty radiator, and for general cleaning duties in and around the car (like when birds start leaving their droppings all-around your windshield).\n\n\n7. Warning Triangle Kit\n\n\n\n\nWarning triangle kits are signboards with red reflective materials and are usually used in emergencies or when a car gets stranded by the roadside. They are placed on the side of the road (about 45 meters from the rear of a damaged car) as a warning sign to other road users. Countries in Europe such as Austria, Spain, France, Belgium, and Italy made it compulsory for use of warning triangles if your car has been involved in an accident or it breaks down \u2013 they can be fined if they neglect to use it during an emergency!\n\n\n8. Spare Tire, Jack & Wheel Level\n\n\nTires can deflate or burst at any time, anywhere so it\u2019s always best to \nkeep a properly inflated spare tire in your boot, as well as a jack and wheel lever so you can change a flat tire when needed.\n You can also use a brick as a wedging tool under the wheel on the opposite side of the car to provide extra stability when changing the tire.\n\n\nAlways Be Prepared & Stay Calm\n\n\nEmergencies on the road can happen in a split second at any time, just like how life throws you a curveball when you least expect it. How ready you are to face these emergencies is totally up to you.\u00a0\n\n\nWith these things in your emergency car kit, you are ready for any situation that might take place during your drive.\n\n\nBut, apart from this kit, having an emergency roadside assistance number is also important because you can ask for help with a simple phone call in the event of a breakdown. However, in the worst-case scenario, you can also dial for \nMalaysia Emergency Response Services (MERS) at\n 999\n \u2013 this number combines all five emergency agencies including the police or the fire and rescue department.\u00a0\n\n\nWith that, we hope you stay safe on your drives!\u00a0\n\n\nRead also: \n7 Things to Check after Your Roadtrip\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor any other used car services and news, do check Carsome out!

However, there may be times when the cooling system is unable to function as it should, which leads to engine overheating. This can be a major issue that not only affects the performance of your car but can also cause irreversible damage if not addressed promptly.\n\n\nAs a responsible car owner, it\u2019s crucial to understand the reasons behind engine overheating and know how to prevent it. In this guide, we will explore the common causes of engine overheating, signs to look out for, and practical tips to prevent this problem.\n\n\nReasons that Cause a Car Engine to Overheat\n\n\nIn an ideal situation, engines should run between 195 degrees and 220 degrees. This normal car engine temperature range ensures optimal functioning and efficiency, allowing the engine to perform at its best.\n\n\nHowever, your engine can overheat when there are problems with the engine components or the engine\u2019s cooling system. There are various reasons that can cause the engine temperature to rise above normal, such as a faulty engine coolant temperature sensor or a clogged radiator. Here are some of the most common causes of engine overheating.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nCar Care Tips and Why You Should Do It\n\n\n\n\nvia GIPHY\n\n\n1. Engine Overheats Because of Faulty Thermostat\n\n\nThe thermostat acts as a valve that regulates the flow of coolant into the engine. If the thermostat malfunctions, it can restrict the coolant flow, leading to overheating. Signs of a faulty thermostat include coolant leaks and frequent temperature fluctuations. If your engine temperature \nwarning light\n frequently comes on and off, it\u2019s advisable to check the thermostat.\n\n\n2. Engine Overheats Because of Faulty Radiator Fan\n\n\nThe radiator fan plays a critical role in cooling the coolant. If the radiator fan is faulty, it fails to dissipate the heat from the engine, resulting in overheating. Common issues that can cause a radiator fan failure include a faulty engine coolant temperature sensor, motor problems, damaged wiring, or a loose fuse. It\u2019s essential to address these issues promptly to prevent overheating.\n\n\n3. Engine Overheats Because of Dirty or Clogged Radiator\n\n\nRust buildup in the radiator pipes can obstruct the flow of coolant, reducing its ability to dissipate heat effectively. Additionally, when the radiator fins are clogged with dirt, leaves, or insects, the airflow is blocked, preventing proper cooling. Regular radiator maintenance is crucial to avoid these problems and prevent engine overheating.\n\n\n4. Engine Overheats Because of Broken Water Pump\n\n\nThe water pump is responsible for circulating the coolant through the cooling system to absorb heat from the engine. A broken water pump can disrupt the coolant flow, leading to overheating. Common issues with the water pump include a worn-out impeller or a loose connection between the impeller and impeller shaft. Regular inspection and maintenance of the water pump can help prevent a high engine temperature.\n\n\n5. Engine Overheats Because of Leaking Head Gasket\n\n\nThe head gasket seals the engine block and prevents the mixing of coolant and engine oil. A leaking head gasket can introduce gas from the cylinder into the cooling system, increasing pressure and pushing out coolant. Depletion of coolant eventually leads to engine overheating. Prompt detection and repair of a leaking head gasket are essential to prevent further damage.\n\n\n6. Engine Overheats Because of Leaking or Dried Up Radiator Coolant\n\n\nInsufficient coolant in the radiator hinders the cooling system\u2019s ability to dissipate excess heat from the engine. Coolant leaks can occur due to a faulty water pump, radiator leaks, damaged hoses, or a malfunctioning radiator cap. Low coolant levels without visible leaks may indicate coolant evaporation caused by a leaking head gasket or a faulty radiator cap.\n\n\n7. Engine Overheats Because of Trapped Air in The Cooling System\n\n\nAir bubbles can form in the cooling system, reducing its efficiency in regulating engine temperature. Incomplete radiator fill-up or improper coolant flush can lead to air bubble formation. Low coolant levels contribute to water evaporation, creating air bubbles. A radiator bleed can eliminate trapped air and restore the cooling system\u2019s functionality.\n\n\nRead More: \nTop Four Signs of a Malfunctioning Car Air Conditioner\n\n\n\n\nSigns that Your Engine is Overheating\n\n\nTo prevent irreversible damage to the engine, it\u2019s crucial to recognize the signs of an overheating engine. Keep an eye out for the following indicators:\n\n\n\n\nThe engine temperature gauge on your dashboard rises above the normal temperature. Some cars only have an engine temperature warning light that lights up when the engine temperature rises above normal.\n\n\nWhite smoke or water vapor rising from the engine bay.\n\n\nA burnt or acrid smell from the engine. A burnt smell is usually a sign of leaking engine oil while leaking radiator coolant usually smells sweet.\n\n\n\n\nWhat to Do When Your Car\u2019s Engine Overheats?\n\n\nIf you encounter an overheating engine, it\u2019s essential to take immediate action to prevent further damage. Follow these steps:\n\n\n\n\nStay calm\n: Panicking won\u2019t solve the problem. Maintain composure and focus on safely addressing the situation.\n\n\nStop at a safe location and turn off your engine\n: If you\u2019re driving on the highway, at a narrow road, or a busy intersection, pull over to a secure area and turn off the engine to prevent further damage. Driving while your engine is overheating can result in major damage to your engine or even \ncause a fire\n.\n\n\nAvoid opening the hood immediately: \nGive the engine time to cool down before opening the bonnet. Opening it too soon may expose you to hot vapor or smoke.\n\n\nAdd water and seek professional help:\n Once the engine has cooled down, you can add water to the radiator as a temporary measure. However, it\u2019s crucial to visit a nearby workshop for a comprehensive inspection and proper repairs. If you\u2019re unable to start the engine, contact a tow truck to transport your car to the workshop.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTips to Prevent Engine Overheating\n\n\nPrevention is always better than cure. By following these simple tips, you can minimize the risk of your car\u2019s engine overheating:\n\n\n\n\nRegularly check the coolant reservoir: \nEnsure that the coolant reservoir is properly topped off to maintain the cooling system\u2019s efficiency.\n\n\nClean the radiator:\n Inspect the radiator for any debris, such as dirt, leaves, or insects, that might obstruct airflow. Clean the radiator regularly to promote proper cooling.\n\n\nCheck the radiator cap:\n Verify that the radiator cap\u2019s spring is intact and properly maintains pressure within the system. A loose cap can result in coolant leakage and overheating.\n\n\nTiming belt maintenance:\n Timely inspection and maintenance of the timing belt are crucial. A faulty timing belt can lead to engine performance issues, including overheating.\n\n\nRegular maintenance:\n Adhere to your car\u2019s scheduled maintenance, allowing your mechanic to check the engine, fluid levels, and other components. Identifying and addressing issues in advance can prevent overheating and more severe problems down the line.\n\n\n\n\nBy implementing these preventive measures, you can ensure a safer and more reliable driving experience while minimizing the risk of engine overheating. Understanding the causes and signs of engine overheating is vital for any car owner.\n\n\nBy following proper maintenance procedures and promptly addressing any issues, you can keep your engine running smoothly and prevent the costly consequences of engine overheating.

Much to everyone\u2019s annoyed grimaces, these exhaust upgrades aren\u2019t just \ncommon on cars\n. Look no further than your neighborhood \u201cMat Rempits\u201d or \u201c\nkapcai motorcycles\n\u201d.\n\n\nVehicle exhaust has been the default, go-to upgrade for every entry-level motoring enthusiast around the world. In high-performance racing, however, an exhaust upgrade is deemed necessary as it adds numbers to a vehicle\u2019s performance on the track. But wait, you might ask \u2013 If every Ali, Muthu, and Ah Beng has a loud car exhaust out there, why are their cars still a slow crawl on the streets? An aftermarket car exhaust \ncan \nprovide performance\n \nif\n done right. Let\u2019s dive into the components of a car exhaust system and how it works first.\n\n\nRead More: \nTop \u201cAffordable\u201d Sports Cars in Malaysia Below RM200,000\n\n\nHow Does a Car Exhaust Work?\n\n\nEngine combustion happens when a rich fuel and oxygen mixture meet inside the combustion chamber of your car. Once the combustion process is complete, hazardous smoke is produced as a byproduct of the combustion and needs to be quickly expelled out of the engine for more oxygen to flow in. A car exhaust helps to redirect and eject all the smoke produced from the engine to the outside of the car, and the cycle continues.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nSwitching up Your Car Engine: Can You Do it in Malaysia Legally?\n\n\nComponents of a Car Exhaust\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExhaust Manifold\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you get to see a car\u2019s engine bay up close, you\u2019ll notice this large pitchfork-shaped tube connected to the cylinders inside the engine. Then all the tubes are merged into one pipe and it gets redirected to the undercarriage of the vehicle. That is the exhaust manifold \u2013 it redirects all the noxious smoke produced by the engine to the exhaust tips.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCatalytic Converter\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnless you\u2019re driving an electric car, all internal combustion-engined vehicles do produce some form of emission from the chemical fumes that came as a byproduct of gas-powered engines.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOxygen Sensor\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe oxygen sensor is a measuring instrument that monitors the emissions of all internal combustion engines. It measures the amount of oxygen expelled from the fumes of the vehicle\u2019s combustion chamber. Then, it sends a signal to the engine management system to adjust the right amount of fuel-to-air ratio in its mixture if it\u2019s either \ntoo lean or rich.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nResonator/Muffler\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA resonator or a muffler aids in reducing the amount of unwanted noise generated from the vehicle in \na higher or a particular RPM range\n. Housed right behind the exhaust pipes, its sole purpose for its introduction is to reduce the \nfinal number of decibels\n developed for noise pollution and driver comfort. Note that these two words tend to be used interchangeably.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExhaust/Tail Pipes\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe bread and butter of the whole system. Our tail or exhaust pipes are where the final stage of fume expulsion ends. These two words are commonly used interchangeably around the world. A pipeline is connected from the exhaust manifold to the pipes which acts as a drainage system. That\u2019s where the smoke and fumes exit the vehicle. In the aftermarket segment for vehicles, exhaust pipes or tips are highly sought after and customized by owners to their liking.\n\n\nDoes It Offer Performance?\n\n\nHere\u2019s the common misconception about exhaust modifications. If done correctly, aftermarket exhaust modifications \ncan\n \nincrease the performance of your vehicle. But, an exhaust upgrade alone won\u2019t just cut it if you\u2019re chasing horsepower. Adding bigger pipes to your system allows the engine to maximize airflow and expel fumes generated by the process of fuel combustion. Generally, factory exhausts come with restrictive, narrow pipelines. Often, these are made in poor or standard quality and are highly restrictive of airflow and noise. The stock exhaust is intended to pass sound and smoke emission laws worldwide.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nThe Mercedes-AMG A35 4Matic Sedan is your entry point to AMG Performance\n\n\nBenefits of Exhaust Upgrades\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIncrease horsepower due to better airflow\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChrisFix, an automotive DIY Content Creator on Youtube shows his Mustang\u2019s engine performance before and after installing an aftermarket exhaust.\n\n\nPicture yourself having a clogged nose from the flu. Blow all that snot out of your system and a huge whiff of fresh air that your lungs really needed. Stock exhausts usually come with plenty of filtration systems like the Catalytic Converter and Muffler from the factory as mentioned above. Most vehicles made after \n1974\n contain at least one catalytic converter. If your car has a dual-tipped exhaust, look down the undercarriage and you may find it comes with two. These are the \u201csnots\u201d inside your exhaust system and your engine is the lungs. By opting out of the factory catalytic converter, and muffler and reinforcing the exhaust manifold, your vehicle is going to sing like an orchestra on the road.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImprove the sound of your engine for that race car feel\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGenerally, plenty of inexperienced car owners or ricers (Radically Immature Car Enthusiasts) would just slap on a straight-pipe exhaust on their stock engines and proceed to call it a day. If you have been to enough car gatherings, you can tell which car owner is an experienced tuner or not judging by their exhaust of choice. A well-tuned car exhaust system would sound like a throaty roar that resonates with the corresponding modifications done to it, not like a fart can.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COSdZhr_9vs\n\n\nLaws on Car Exhausts\n\n\nIn Malaysia\n, all vehicles are bound Under Rule 103 of the Motor Vehicles (Construction and Use) Rules 1959 (LN 170/1959), it is an offense for owners to modify the exhaust pipe and silencer to generate a louder sound that may delight the driver but is a nuisance to others. Offenders when caught can potentially face up to an RM2,000 fine and/or be jailed for six months.\n\n\nFurthermore, \nUnder Section 64 (1)\n of the 1987 Road Transportation Act, a Road Transportation Officer can impound a vehicle for the purposes of identifying the operator, the vehicle, or halting a continuous offense.\u00a0\n\n\nHowever, enforcement of these laws has the same consistency as a working Slurpee Machine from 7-Eleven which is why all the Ali, Muthu, and Ah Bengs with loud exhausts are still out there.\n\n\nBonus: Consider a Valvetronic Exhaust if You\u2019re Still Adamant about That Race Car Feel\n\n\nIf you\u2019re still looking to get an exhaust upgrade and play safe within the confines of the law, why not consider a Valvetronic Exhaust? For the uninitiated, a Valvetronic Exhaust is a motorized vacuum pump that is installed where the Car Exhaust Resonator would be. This allows your car to be \nloud or quiet at will\n with a flip of a switch or a remote when necessary and adds power too.\u00a0\n\n\nThis video below will explain in further detail the types of Valvetronic Exhausts out in the aftermarket.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEX6KwRqafQ\n\n\nTo conclude, while exhaust modification can be a cheap and quick way to add horsepower, we urge our readers to do proper research on the right parts to buy. In addition, we strongly advise doing it within the confines of the law and being considerate to your neighbors and surroundings. Don\u2019t be a douchebag that annoys everyone from their good night\u2019s sleep.\n\n", "Tags\nCar Tips\nCars\nComparison\nDriving\nLearning Centre\nLifestyle\nMaintenance\nModifications", "Brian Wong", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Here Are the Top Women-Friendly Car Features to Consider", "By\n \nDevan S", "15/03/2023", "\n\n\n\n\n", "More women are buying cars yet many cars over the years have mostly catered to male customers. Automakers are realizing this and have started to include more women-friendly features in their cars, and that\u2019s a good thing. After all, these features can make the car ownership experience better for everyone, not only women.\u00a0\n\n\nMany of the features most valued for women make a car safer, more comfortable, and practical. So, whether you\u2019re a woman buying a car for yourself or a man buying one for the women in your life, here are the best car features for women.\n\n\n\n\n1. Advanced Safety Features\n\n\nMost modern cars have basic safety features such as \nABS\n (anti-lock braking system) and ESC (electronic stability control) as standard. While these are definitely essential, the best cars for women should have advanced features that improve their safety even further. Here are some safety features that make a car great for women:\n\n\n\n\nTraction control: \nDetects when any tire loses grip on the road and automatically applies the brakes or reduces the engine power so the tire(s) regain traction.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHill-start assist:\n Automatically holds the brakes when on an incline to prevent your car from rolling backward.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIntegrated dashcam:\n Records the external surroundings of your car to capture proof of any mishap on the road so you can protect yourself in case of an accident.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nTop Car Safety Features Invented by Women That May Have Saved Your Life\n\n\n2. Driver Assistance System\n\n\nAnother important feature of a women-friendly car is a driver assistance system. Driver assistance does just as the name suggests \u2013 it helps you in day-to-day driving be it on the highway or in stop-and-go traffic. These features include:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAdaptive cruise control:\n Automatically adjusts the speed of your car to match the car in front of you, making your drive more comfortable and safe.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLane keep assist:\n Warns you if you\u2019re unknowingly driving out of your lane. It can also help keep your car within the lane.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBlind spot monitors:\n Alerts you if there are vehicles in your car\u2019s blind spots, usually by lighting up a warning light on the side mirrors.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParking assistance:\n Besides the more common 360-degree camera, some cars have auto parking assist that can maneuver your car in and out of a parking spot like what the \nProton X50\n offers.\n\n\n\n\n3. Adjustable Seating\n\n\nMany drivers, especially women, have had difficulty getting into a comfortable driving position while still having good road visibility. That\u2019s why having seats with a wide range of adjustability is vital. You should be able to sufficiently raise and lower the seat and backrest until you\u2019re in a position where you have a good view of the road ahead with enough space for you to sit and reach the steering wheel and foot pedals.\u00a0\n\n\nMany modern cars have a powered driver\u2019s seat with adjustable lumbar support and a memory function that can save your preferred seating position so you can dial in the comfort to prevent fatigue. Also, the steering wheel should have sufficient adjustability to allow you a clear view of the instrument cluster.\n\n\n\n\nAn anti-theft hook in the Perodua Myvi\n\n\n4. Practical Storage\n\n\nWhether you need to carry multiple bags to work or have small items on you, you need spacious and practical storage spaces for your things. Cars like the \nPerodua Myvi\n and \nHonda Jazz\n are some of the best cars for women as they have ample storage space despite being compact cars. Both cars have several cubby spaces, multiple seating arrangements to accommodate items of various sizes, and most notably in the Myvi, an anti-theft hook where you can hang your handbag instead of leaving it on the passenger seat.\n\n\nRead More: \nNeed More Cargo Space in Your Car? Think outside the Box with a Roof Box\n\n\n5. Driver\u2019s Side Sun Visor Mirror\n\n\nThere may be times when you\u2019re rushing to work or traveling between meetings and you just don\u2019t have the time to touch up your hair or makeup. It\u2019s at these times that you\u2019ll be thankful to have a mirror on your sun visor. Not only is it convenient, but you won\u2019t need to crane your neck to look in the rearview mirror or readjust it when you need to keep your hair or scarf in place. Despite being just a small thing, a sun visor mirror is one of the most convenient features for your car.\n\n\n\n\n6. Hands-Free Powered Tailgate\n\n\nYou\u2019ve probably been on a grocery run, had your hands full with bags, and just wished someone could open the boot or tailgate for you. Luckily, more automakers are equipping their cars with a hands-free powered tailgate. Most hands-free tailgates open by you sweeping your foot under the rear bumper, allowing you to free up your hands be it for carrying your child or groceries. You can often set a maximum height to which the tailgate opens allowing you to easily reach it when closing it. Popular cars with this feature include the \nProton X70\n and \nToyota Corolla Cross\n.\n\n\n7. Run-Flat Tires\n\n\nNobody wants to get a flat tire while on the road, especially if you\u2019re a woman driving alone. And while there\u2019s no way to predict if you\u2019re going to get a puncture, having \nrun-flat tires\n can allow you to keep driving after your tire is punctured so you don\u2019t have to pull over and change it. Instead, you can safely drive back home or to a nearby workshop and get your tires changed there.\u00a0\n\n\nThis is a lifesaver especially if you frequently drive alone late at night when safety is an issue. Run-flats used to be installed only on luxury cars as they tend to be on the pricey side but you can now get them for as low as RM500 a piece. They might not be the cheapest tires but they\u2019re usually not that much more expensive than regular tires of the same size.\n\n\nHave a Hassle-Free Car Purchase with CARSOME\n\n\nBetween searching for the right car and dealing with all the paperwork, we know that buying a car can sometimes be a tiresome experience.

Looks like car mats do play an important part in determining your survival while driving.\n\n\nOver the years, there have been multiple reports of accidents that involved poorly fitted car mats that draped over pedals or got stuck under them \u2013 causing the victims to lose control of their vehicle.\n\n\nIt\u2019s always best to take necessary precautions when it comes to your safety. One way you can do this is by getting your \ncar floor mats professionally installed\n at TRAPO\u2019s hubs, preventing any safety hazards while driving in the future.\n\n\nHere are some easy tips that can help you avoid car floor mat related accidents from happening.\n\n\n1) Use Only One Layer of Car Floor Mat\n\n\nThere are a few types of car floor mats that you can purchase for your car \u2013 fabric floor mats, rubber mats, all-weather floor mats, nomad floor mats, and 3D floor mats. Since each of these mats has different protection properties, people sometimes stack multiple floor mats without considering the risk of doing so.\n\n\n\n\nBut with multiple layers of floor mats, you will not be able to ensure a secure placement and they could end up shifting around, endangering you while driving. One floor mat is more than enough to keep your car clean, as long as you take proper care of it.\n\n\n2) Clear The Area Around Your Pedals\n\n\nBelieve it or not, there are some people who cover the pedals of their car with another layer of floor mat in order to keep them clean and protect them from damage. However, this is very unsafe as you will not be able to properly reach and step on your pedals when they are covered.\n\n\n\n\nCar pedals and the area around them must be clear of any objects so you will be able to access them easily. With multiple layers of floor mats, some of them might shift around while you drive and will end up stuck under your pedals \u2013 causing you to lose control. This can be avoided by using TRAPO\u2019s \nfloor mat with strong anti-slip technology\n.\n\n\n3) Keep Your Car Floor Clean\n\n\nAnother reason that causes drivers to lose control of their car while driving is putting slippers, bottles, or handbags in the driver\u2019s foot space. These items will roll around when you\u2019re turning or braking when driving and they will block the pedals, causing you to lose control of your car.\n\n\n\n\nAlways clear out your car floor before you start driving, especially the driver\u2019s foot space area. You can also prepare small bins in the car to help you store small trash or a storage box that you can use to store your shoes, slippers, or handbags.\n\n\nInvesting in high-quality, professionally installed car mats, like those offered by TRAPO, can significantly reduce the risks associated with car floor mats. Their anti-slip technology and precise fit ensure that your mats stay in place, reducing the chances of accidents caused by floor mats.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for floor mats that are suitable for your car but not sure how to choose one, \nreach out to TRAPO\n for assistance. They have various car floor mats that will suit your needs and can provide you with a comfortable and secure ride.\n\n\nRemember, your floor mats can be the difference between a safe drive and a fatal accident.

Neither do we. Without a car head unit, our daily commute in the car would be boring and uneventful. Plus, it would also be difficult for us to navigate the road without access to traffic information.\n\n\nHere\u2019s what you need to know about a car head unit and we also list down four popular car head unit brands in Malaysia in case you\u2019re thinking of getting an upgrade.\n\n\nWhat Is a Car Head U\nnit\n?\n\n\nThe first audio system for cars called the \u201cmotorized victrola\u201d or also known as Motorola, was created back in 1930 and at that time it was only able to receive mono AM radio broadcasts. Today, we can find highly advanced audio systems in modern cars called the car head unit that can do more than just receive radio broadcasts and play music.\n\n\nUsually located in the center of your dashboard, the car head unit acts as the brain to your car\u2019s stereo system. It allows you to control the volume, adjust the equalizer, and tune the radio channels. With more advanced ones, you can issue voice commands, use a navigation app to help with your daily commute, make or answer phone calls, connect it to multiple cameras to help you park your car or reversing it, and even watch videos online.\n\n\nHow to Choose One for Your Car\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking to upgrade the generic head unit that is included in your car, there are various options available with a variety of interesting features for your consideration. But before you upgrade, here are some factors that you should look into.\n\n\n\n\nCompatibility\n\n\nAs cars get more advanced, you\u2019ll find that there are less buttons and knobs for features like climate control on the center console for modern cars. This is because most of the controls have been integrated into the car head unit.\n\n\nSo, it\u2019s important to look for a head unit that is compatible with all the integrated systems in your car and can support these functions or you\u2019ll risk losing access to them once you upgrade.\u00a0\n\n\nHigher RAM is Always Better\n\n\nYou will usually see the amount of Random Access Memory (RAM) as part of the head unit\u2019s listing. Just like phones, RAM enables the applications in the head unit to run smoothly without any lags or crashes. With a higher RAM, you will be able to run multiple apps in your head unit smoothly. We would recommend getting a head unit with at least 2GB of RAM.\n\n\nConnectivity Options\n\n\nWi-Fi, bluetooth, or wired, there\u2019s a lot of connectivity options that a car head unit offers. You can now sync your playlist to the head unit via Wi-Fi, connect your phone to the head unit via bluetooth to play music from Spotify, or you can also connect it to your phone via aux cable to play music.\n\n\n\n\nOn top of that, you also have to consider if the head unit supports either Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. You can achieve seamless connectivity between your phone and car head unit with these features. Without having to look at your phone, you can play music and use navigation apps on the car head unit itself.\n\n\nRead more: \nWant to Improve Your Ride?

Nonetheless, the path there hasn\u2019t always been as well lit as it is now. With recent technological advances in lighting, we can see more and more cars equipped with better headlights that make for a safer driving experience.\n\n\nAs things progress, there\u2019s been a huge leap forward that will see \u201csmart\u201d headlights that aren\u2019t just brighter but are capable of actively picking out or not illuminating certain subjects on the road. Here\u2019s all you need to know about car headlight technologies available on the market today.\n\n\nA Brief History of Headlights\n\n\nGenerally, modern headlight technologies can be split into four types. That\u2019s halogen, high-intensity discharge (HID) / xenon, light emitting diode (LED) and laser.\n\n\n\n\nThe very first headlights were acetylene gas headlamps and not grouped with the aforementioned four above. You might recall them from old movies in the early 1900s that saw the driver open the glass cover and lighting the element on fire. Yes, it was literally the incandescent light of a flame being vaguely reflected to attempt illuminating the road ahead.\n\n\nElectricity is a wonderful discovery though, and it has led to the introduction of the first halogen headlights by Italian carmakers in 1962. Although still very much an incandescent light, the bulb housed a small trace of bromide or iodine halogen that resulted in a brighter, yellowish glow.\n\n\nFrom there, the next step in automotive lighting was HID lights. Commonly referred to as xenon, it provided a brighter light and was more durable, lasting at least twice as long as a halogen system.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nAdaptive Cruise Control: How Does It Work & Can You Trust It?\n\n\nSoon came LED lights. Audi were the first to implement them in its Audi A8 as DRLs but Lexus is universally accepted as the first to actually implement LED lighting for the low beams in the headlights of their Lexus LS600h back in 2007.\n\n\nThe latest innovation in car headlight technology though, might sound like something out of science fiction; lasers. Yes, lasers. But fret not, you won\u2019t go blind if you accidentally look into them, as we\u2019ll explain why below.

Halogens are still very much in use on modern cars. Certain variants of the current Honda City come with halogens. It\u2019s by no means an inferior product. And given the amount of rain we receive, the yellowish beam is a little safer in those conditions as well.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nQ2: \nAre LED headlights still only used on more premium cars?\n\n\nA2:\n As technology develops, it becomes cheaper to produce. LEDs have since become less costly to produce and you can find them on a variety of entry-level models. The Perodua Bezza is the most affordable car in Malaysia with LED headlights. In fact, more and more affordable cars are equipped as standard with LED headlights. \nRemember, while it\u2019s good to have brighter headlights on your car, it\u2019s not the only aspect that makes for a safe car.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nQ3:\n Lasers? Sounds dangerous. Are you sure it won\u2019t slice me in half?\n\n\nA3:\n \nFor starters, you\u2019re not actually looking directly at the laser beam. Instead, multiple beams from high-powered diodes are fired through a series of mirrors within the headlight assembly that reflects and focuses the light into a lens filled with yellow phosphorus. The phosphorus creates a bright, intense white light that\u2019s safer for human eyes. You\u2019ll be fine.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nQ4: \nWhat other benefits do laser headlights have?\n\n\nA4:\n \nHere\u2019s where it gets interesting. The array of mirrors allows laser headlights to spotlight objects of interest such as pedestrians. \nWith the integration of a camera, it can even detect oncoming vehicles and automatically dim the beam on that vehicle to prevent blinding the driver.\n\n\nOn a cooler note, the high-power diodes can essentially turn the road surface into a head-up display as the array of mirrors project information like speed onto the road within the driver\u2019s field of view.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nQ5:\n Can I change the halogen bulb in my car to an LED?\n\n\nA5:\n \nYou sure can. There are plenty of aftermarket LED options that will easily replace a halogen bulb and you can even find one with a yellowish tone that\u2019s better in heavy weather. However, you must be sure to get one that mimics the light source of the halogen bulb so that the beam is identical and doesn\u2019t scatter wrongly to blind other drivers. \nIf you can\u2019t find an LED with an identical light source, you can always upgrade to a brighter halogen bulb that will emit a much brighter light.\n\n\nBuy CARSOME Certified for Peace of Mind\n\n\nHere at CARSOME, we believe in creating an end-to-end buying journey to eliminate the concerns common in a traditional used car buying experience. \nCARSOME Certified\n is the new standard of buying pre-owned cars backed up by our \n175-point inspection\n together with our \nCARSOME Certified Refurbishment Process\n.

Roads have been renamed, highways and MRT tracks have been erected, even the scenery of cars have changed.\n\n\nBut one name persists; a model name so widely known and commonly found today that it represents a large part of the Malaysian automotive culture, the \nPerodua Myvi\n. Introduced in 2005, \nPerodua\n recently announced that the nation\u2019s undisputed best-selling model was nearing its 1,000,000\nth\n production unit.\n\n\nA staggering figure indeed; even more mind boggling when you consider that this automotive standard of \u201cplatinum record sales\u201d was achieved in the span of just 12 years, making it the most produced Malaysian vehicle in history.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCredit: motortrend.com\n\n\nAs pompous as it sounds, this milestone places the \nPerodua Myvi\n in the production numbers of the Porsche 911 and the \nMazda\n MX-5 with both models rolling out their 1,000,000\nth\n\u00a0unit just recently, albeit taking just 12 years instead of the 911\u2019s 54 years and the MX-5\u2019s 27 years.\n\n\nThis goes without saying that their differences are night and day when it comes to vehicle categorisation, price and functionality, but even though statistics are all they have in common, the possibility to have achieved that just over a decade does speak volumes of the near-symbolic vehicle.\n\n\nAnd it isn\u2019t only because it is affordable, with sales spanning across 7 countries since 2006 including Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Indonesia, Brunei, Singapore, Fiji, Nepal and even as far as the United Kingdom, we think there\u2019s more than one reason beyond an affordable price tag that made the \nMyvi\n such a huge hit. Here\u2019s 3 other reasons we\u2019ve gathered, quite effortlessly, on what made the \nMyvi\n such a success to us savvy Malaysians.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nFuel / Cost Efficient & Reliability\n\n\n\n\nFitted with a 1.3-litre K3-VE DOHC EFI engine, the earlier \nMyvi\u2019s\n produced a meagre output of 86 horsepower with 116Nm. While they may not be mind-bending figures by a long shot, it was sufficient for a get-around-town vehicle that weighed just under a tonne at 980kg.\n\n\nTogether with the DVVT system which controls the opening and closing of the exhaust and intake valves; the improved and optimum engine efficiency is still widely praised. According to a quarter of the office, owners of a various range of \nMyvi\u2019\ns, some being over 10 years old, a full tank of fuel (usually of around 30 litres) can fetch between 350km \u2013 400km at least depending on transmission type and driving conditions.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCredit: lelong.my\n\n\nAnd that isn\u2019t the only low-cost factor the \nMyvi\n can brag about. The usual wear and tear parts do not cost an arm and a leg either. Take the brake pads for example \u2013\u00a0 a pair of them as you\u2019d only need for the front two wheels can set you back as little as RM 40 up to RM 200 depending on the make and quality. Tyres are one such other example; if you\u2019ve retained the standard 14-inch wheels, it costs somewhere between RM 130 to RM 180 per piece to replace, again depending on brand and preferences.\n\n\nDespite the hundreds of vehicles we transact a month, the least of these are, \nPerodua Myvi\u2019s\n; be it from any generation. This, to us, suggest that despite the inevitable drop in value as a car ages, owners seem to be more inclined to retain their \nMyvi\u2019\ns based on its reliability and as a worry-free means of getting around town without hiccups.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nPractical, Spacious & Versatile\n\n\n\n\nThe Myvi leaves no room for complaints on the lack of cabin space.\n\n\nWhen it comes to the two adjectives above, we\u2019d know that not many would argue that against the \nMyvi\n. It is relatively compact on the outside \u2013 making it a breeze to maneuvre through narrow and often congested city roads and commercial centres. And when you do get into tight spots at these famously congested areas, the \nMyvi\u2019s\n hatchback construction allows for an effortless squeeze.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nOn the inside, you get height adjustable steering, a decent stereo, and a total of four cup holders \u2013 before cup holders became what is now a social norm in the automotive society. At the same time, there was still an abundance of space on the inside. Practicality also extends to the doors where they were designed to open to a nearly 90-degree angle; to ensure the ease of loading and unloading cargo.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIt would happily accommodate a family of five in moderate comfort whether to the local neighbourhood restaurant or a 450km drive up to Kuala Kedah. With the rear seats folded either 60:40 or completely flat, the cargo space available could even be comparable to a minivan. Even if you don\u2019t, there\u2019s still more than enough room in the boot to fit at least 3 mid-sized duffle bags.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWell-Priced\n\n\n\n\nOver the years, the Myvi\u2019s interior have undergone significant changes, as with the relocated gear lever for easier reach.\n\n\nWhen it was first launched back in 2006, the Premium Automatic EZi model was priced at RM 51,000 and with that you have two airbags, ABS, heaps of space, and the bare necessities that make up a simplistic mode of transportation. Fast forward 12 years on, even with increased engine capacity (from 1.3 then to 1.5 currently) together with additional features, the Myvi ADVANCE Automatic still only sets you back RM 56,578.\n\n\nDue to the sheer number of used cars we transact every day at Carsome, we\u2019d even submit that part of the appeal of the Myvi is in its unquestionable \nRESALE VALUE\n. Invariably there would be Myvi\u2019s coming through our ranks and it\u2019s blatant how well the Myvi is when it comes to retaining its value. Take for example, a 2006 Myvi EZi still manages to retain 24 per cent of its original value and despite being 10 years old, its resale value has only been decreasing marginally as the years have progressed.\n\n\nUnsurprisingly, 1 out of 10 of you reading this would be an owner of the \nPerodua Myvi\n.

While minor scratches and dents on a used car are totally normal, having major accident damage can pose a danger to you and your passengers. To help you the next time you shop for a pre-owned car, here are six car inspection tips shared by the professional, skilled inspectors at CARSOME.\n\n\n\n\n[Image source: 3dbodyworks.com]\n\n\n1. Look for Mismatched Paint\n\n\nChecking for mismatched paint is one of the easiest car inspection tips. Usually, if a car has been in an \naccident\n, only the damaged area or panel is repaired. This can be done by either replacing the damaged panel or respraying the affected area. When checking for mismatched paint, remember to do it under good light. Also, you should only compare surfaces of the same material since different materials have different properties that can affect the paint color.\u00a0\n\n\nFor example, you can compare the paint on the door panel (metal surface) with the fenders or bonnet, but not with the bumpers since the bumpers are made of plastic. You also shouldn\u2019t compare the paint on the roof with other parts of the car as the paint there tends to fade faster as it is subjected to harsher sunlight on a daily basis.\n\n\n2. Check the Paint on the Edges of the Bonnet and Boot Lid\n\n\nOne simple car inspection tip is to check the edges of the bonnet and boot lid and feel for uneven or rough paint textures. If the bonnet and boot have been repainted after an accident, the paint on the edges tends to have a rough texture.\u00a0\n\n\nOn the other hand, the original factory paint should feel smooth and even. While having rough paint edges could indicate that the car has been in an accident, it could also be a sign that the owner repainted the car just to refresh its looks.\n\n\nRead More: \nSedan vs SUV: Does Size Really Matter?\n\n\n3. Check the Sealant around the Car\n\n\nMost manufacturers apply automotive seam sealant along the seams of the body parts of a car including the doors, bonnet, and boot lid of a car to bond the metal surfaces together. During your car inspection, check the edges of the car door and press down on the sealant layer which can be either in black or in the car\u2019s body color. \n\n\nThe original factory sealant should feel hard and dense, and can\u2019t be easily compressed with your fingers. If you can compress the sealant with your touch, chances are the car has undergone some repairs that require new sealant to be applied.\n\n\n\n\nSeam sealant on the edges of the boot opening\n\n\n4. Check for Bubbles Due to Dust Contamination\n\n\nCars with the original factory paint are generally smooth and blemish-free since they are painted in a dust-free car painting chamber. In contrast, most third-party paint shops don\u2019t have a properly enclosed painting chamber. When you repaint a car that has dust particles on the surface, tiny paint bubbles can form around the dust particles. \n\n\nThe bubbles can range in size from tiny to large, and are usually inconspicuous to the untrained eye so they may be difficult to spot. When trying to spot paint bubbles, do it in a well-lit area and keep a torch on hand.\n\n\n\n\nTiny paint bubbles due to dust contamination\n\n\nRead More: \nA Guide to the Easiest Car Colors to Maintain\n\n\n5. Look at the Welding Spots around the Car\n\n\nA car is made of multiple sheets of metal fused together with a process called spot welding. This process results in circular dents or spots around the car called welding spots. You can find the welding spots on certain metal surfaces of the car including in the engine bay and on the door frame underneath the rubber seal that surrounds the door.\n\n\n\n\nWelding spots in a car\u2019s engine bay\n\n\nThe factory welding spots on a car are always uniform in width and depth. However, If the car has suffered damage that requires repairs and extra welding, you may notice some welding spots that look out of place.\n\n\n6. Inspect the Car for Mud Stains\n\n\nInspecting a car for \nflood damage\n is difficult without a jack as you wouldn\u2019t be able to thoroughly inspect the car\u2019s undercarriage. However, you can check parts of the car such as around the door hinges and under the carpet for mud stains. These areas are harder to clean and tend to hold more mud. You can also pull the seatbelts till they\u2019re fully extended and look for stains on the end of them as these are usually overlooked.\n\n\nChoose CARSOME Certified for Complete Peace of Mind\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a quality pre-owned car, look no further than\n \nCARSOME\n.

In these instances, car insurance can help you by covering the cost of repairs both to your car and to the third party involved in the \naccident.\n\n\n\n\nIn Malaysia, motor insurance is a necessity and requirement by law when you purchase a vehicle as it\u2019s a way to protect you as a car owner. There are various types of car insurance in Malaysia and you also have the option to get additional protection from the inclusion of special perils coverage to windscreen protection.\n\n\nThe Types of Motor Insurance in Malaysia\n\n\nA motor vehicle insurance is a policy that protects vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, buses, and lorries from unforeseen risks such as theft, as well as damage from road accidents and special perils like floods. There are various factors to consider when you get motor insurance in Malaysia including your vehicle\u2019s value and age, as well as the road you drive on.\n\n\n\n\nThere are three types of motor insurance policies in Malaysia with varying coverage. The three main types are Third-Party Insurance Cover, Third-Party Fire and Theft Insurance Cover, and Comprehensive Insurance Cover.\n\n\nThird-Party Insurance Coverage\n\n\nIn Malaysia, third-party insurance coverage is the most basic vehicle insurance policy. If you get into an accident with someone, the third party in this coverage refers to the other individual. This coverage policy protects third parties or other individuals from injury or death. It includes damage or loss to a third party\u2019s property as a result of an accident caused by your vehicle. However, third-party insurance offers relatively limited coverage. This policy can only be used for third-party claims and cannot be used to make a claim for damage to your vehicle.\n\n\nTherefore, this policy is offered at a lower price as compared to other insurance policies. Insurance offered on old cars tends to be third-party insurance, but you can talk with your service provider if you wish to get a comprehensive policy instead. In Malaysia, every motor vehicle must have at least a third-party insurance policy to enable a vehicle to be used on the road. The use of valid insurance can also facilitate road tax renewal and prevent you from being fined.\n\n\nThird-Party Fire and Theft Insurance Coverage\n\n\nThird-Party Fire and Theft Insurance Coverage is somewhat similar to the third-party coverage but this policy also includes an additional protection policy that covers vehicle damage due to fire or theft. Just like third-party insurance, this policy protects the driver from third-party claims covering property loss or damage to third-party property, bodily injury, or death caused by your vehicle. Typically, this insurance coverage is more expensive than third-party insurance but cheaper than comprehensive insurance.\n\n\nComprehensive Insurance Coverage\n\n\nComprehensive insurance coverage is the most complete vehicle insurance policy. It offers the same coverage as third-party, theft, and fire insurance policies with additional coverage on your own vehicle, not limited to theft or fire only. In other words, this type of insurance not only protects the third party (other individuals) but also protects the first party (you).\n\n\nIn Malaysia, new cars purchased through bank loans are required to purchase a comprehensive insurance policy. However, you may not need this comprehensive policy if you own a car at a cheaper value (the estimated cost of repairs is not too large and can be self-financed) or own an old car.\n\n\nAdditional Car Insurance Coverage\n\n\nMost car insurance policies will offer extra optional coverage such as for special perils or windscreen protection, known as insurance riders. However, you may want to consider the additional coverage based on your lifestyle \u2013 for example, if you drive on rough terrains where you may be more susceptible to damages. Here are some additional protections you can consider:\n\n\n1. Protection for Additional Drivers\n\n\nIf your car is involved in an accident with someone other than you behind the wheel, you will have to pay a RM400 penalty when you submit an insurance claim. This penalty is called an unnamed driver excess. By adding additional drivers to your car insurance policy, you don\u2019t have to pay this penalty if they are involved in an accident while driving your car. Most insurance providers in Malaysia allow you to add the first additional driver\u2019s name for free.\n\n\nHowever, for every additional driver after that, you\u2019ll need to pay a RM10 fee which will be added to your insurance premium. The maximum number of drivers covered in a car insurance policy is generally set to five people, so if you were to add four drivers to your policy (other than yourself), you will have to pay an additional RM30 for it.\n\n\n\n\n2. Windscreen Protection\n\n\nThere is a high probability that you know an owner that has had a cracked or broken windscreen, windshield, or window from a stone chip while driving on the road. This additional premium extends the protection to all exterior glass on a vehicle including the front and rear windscreen, side window glasses, sunroof, and even the cost of any tint or security film that you have applied on the glass. The add-on only costs 15 percent of the insured windscreen value but is an excellent addition as it does not affect your NCD when making a claim.\n\n\n3. Special Perils Insurance Coverage\n\n\nIt\u2019s natural to think your vehicle would be safe from floods and landslides. But with the torrential rain that Malaysia receives, it would be a good idea to get a special perils coverage the next time you renew your motor insurance. A special perils coverage covers damage from floods, landslides, landslips, typhoons, hurricanes, storms, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, subsidence or sinking of the soil/earth, or other convulsions of nature.\n\n\nWater damage is not a cheap fix, especially if your vehicle gets fully submerged. If it involves mechanical parts and most of the interior fittings, the repairs could even cost you upwards of RM50,000. The cost of this special perils coverage add-on varies according to insurance providers but it generally only costs around 0.5 percent of the total vehicle premium. So, if the vehicle is insured for RM70,000, this will only set you back by RM350.\n\n\n4. Coverage on Accessories Fixed to Your Vehicle\n\n\nExpensive sound systems, high-end rims, and other accessories are not insured by your standard insurance plans. However, you can get them insured with an add-on that will cost 15 percent of the value of your accessories. While it may not seem like much, if you insure these items for RM10,000, the premium will set you back an additional RM1,500. It\u2019s best to check with your insurance provider on what is included in the coverage to make it easier to decide if it is worth adding.\n\n\n\n\n5. Strike, Riot, and Civil Commotion (SRCC) Protection\n\n\nStrike, riot, and civil commotion rarely occur in Malaysia. So your vehicle should be safe unless it is parked in a high-risk area, in a dark alley, or amidst a planned protest. Despite costing only 0.3 percent of the insured sum, this option is rarely taken by car owners. To be on the safe side, be wary of where you park your car next and stay up to date with the news in case there are planned protests.\n\n\n6. Legal Liability to and of Passengers\n\n\nThe legal liability to a passenger (LLTP) coverage protects you from legal liabilities suffered by your own passengers. This happens when your vehicle gets involved in an accident through your own fault and your passenger decides to take legal action against you for causing injury to them or their loved ones, or damage to their property. The LLTP usually costs about 25 percent of the premium of a basic third-party insurance policy.\n/>On the other hand, the legal liability of a passenger (LLOP) coverage protects you when a third party submits a claim against you for the action of your passengers. For example, this protects you should your passengers have an accident that involves a pedestrian, cyclist, or motorcyclist \u2013 such as if they open the car door and accidentally injure a passer-by. Compared to LLTP, LLOP is more affordable at RM7.50 per annum.\n\n\nOther Things to Know about Car Insurance Policies in Malaysia\n\n\n\n\nWaiver of Betterment\n\n\nBetterment is a portion of the cost that the policy owner has to pay when the damaged part of the car is replaced with a new original part. The older the vehicle, the higher the betterment rates, with this rate being zero for vehicles below five years old and 40 percent for vehicles above 10 years old. This only applies to a vehicle that is up to 15 years old.\n\n\nHowever, you can purchase a waiver of betterment to waive the betterment charges in the case of an accident. Should the third party be fully liable for causing the accident, he or she will not be responsible for the aging and depreciating value of the car. In practice, the non-moving parts of a car such as a car door, bonnet, mudguard, or boot cover, depending on the condition, will be repaired instead of replaced.\n\n\nAdded Services\n\n\nCertain insurance providers offer extra benefits such as free 24-hour towing and roadside assistance, depending on the policy. Some also have extra servicing office branches for any assistance you may require, such as to check with the offices for claims or any forms you may have to fill out. Another fairly recent added feature provided by insurance companies is a mobile app where you can check your policy details, among other things.\n\n\nPremiums\n\n\nPremiums are your payments to the insurance providers. Prior to the motor insurance de-tariffication in July 2017, the cost of an insurance policy is determined by the value and engine capacity of your vehicle. Now that motor insurance in Malaysia is de-tariffed, premiums are calculated based on the risk behavior of the consumers. Factors in this risk-based assessment are the driver\u2019s age, gender, occupation, residence, claim history, and the frequency of car use.\n\n\nNo Claim Discount (NCD)\n\n\nThe NCD is a discount provided when you do not make any insurance claims during a specified period. In Malaysia, the percentage of this increases year-on-year on the condition that no claim has been made. For private cars after the fifth year onwards, the rate is 55 percent. One thing not many people know is that in the event that the accident was caused by another party, you are able to claim your insurance without losing your NCD. Your NCD is only lost if there is someone claiming against you.\n\n\nClaims\n\n\nShould you decide to make a claim on your insurance for major damage, the \u201cOwn Damage Claim\u201d, and the \u201cNo-Fault Own Damage Claim\u201d are two types of claims you can make.\n\n\nAn Own Damage Claim is a claim on your own policy towards the loss or damages sustained by your vehicle in an accident. This claim will forfeit your NCD and reset it to 0 percent. As a standard procedure for making an \u201cOwn Damage Claim\u201d, you should:\n\n\n\n\nReport to the police within 24 hours, as required by law.\n\n\nSend your vehicle to an authorized workshop for immediate attention. Certain insurance companies have a list of panel-authorized workshops that will identify the cost and sort out the repairs.\n\n\nCollect the claim from your insurance company and sign accordingly.\n\n\n\u00a0Submit the following documents:\n\n\n\n\nOriginal police report;\n\n\nRepairer\u2019s or workshop\u2019s estimated cost of repairs; and\n\n\nCopies of your insurance policy, vehicle registration card, road tax disc, identity card,\u00a0 driving license of the vehicle owner and driver (if the driver is different), plus the hire purchase agreement (if applicable).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSame as an Own Damage Claim, a No-Fault Own Damage Claim is also a claim on your own policy. However, it doesn\u2019t forfeit your NCD as it\u2019s applicable when the accident your vehicle is involved in is not your fault. you will need to add on copies of the following documents where applicable:\n\n\n\n\nA signed declaration letter (for No-fault accident);\n\n\nThird party\u2019s police report; and\n\n\nPolice compound or findings. \n\n\n\n\nDo note that the procedures above depend on your insurance provider.\n\n\nAlso Read: \nHow to Renew Your Driving License\n\n\nA Comparison Between Each Coverage\n\n\nA \nwide range of car insurance options \nis offered in the market with various types of additional coverage according to your needs and budget. The price of these insurance depends on the type of policy or insurance company you decide on. However, you may want to consider the following when choosing the right car insurance for you:\n\n\n\n\nValue-added services such as \nemergency assistance\n at no extra charge;\n\n\nVehicle insurance renewal facility online or offline;\n\n\nUncomplicated claims process;\n\n\nAccessible and comprehensive panel workshop location; and\n\n\nEfficient customer service.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThird-Party Coverage\n\n\nThird-Party Fire and Theft Coverage\n\n\nComprehensive Coverage\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThird-Party Claims/Liabilities\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInjury\n\n\n/\n\n\n/\n\n\n/\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDeath\n\n\n/\n\n\n/\n\n\n/\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDamage to Third-Party Property\n\n\n/\n\n\n/\n\n\n/\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLost/Damage to Your Vehicle\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFire\n\n\nX\n\n\n/\n\n\n/\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheft\n\n\nX\n\n\n/\n\n\n/\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccident\n\n\nX\n\n\nX\n\n\n/\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDeath/Injury\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPassengers\n\n\nX\n\n\nX\n\n\nX\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCompensation by the insurer to the policyholder is standard practice after a vehicle theft or loss claim is made. The amount that will be received by the policyholder may adhere to one of three key factors, which are:\n\n\n\n\nThe market value of the vehicle at the time the damage or loss occurred;\n\n\nThe value agreed in the policy; or\n\n\nAny that is priced the lowest.\n\n\n\n\nAlso Read\n: \nHow to Renew Road Tax and Car Insurance Online\n\n\nHowever, a refund will be given by the insurance company to the policyholder based on the value agreed in the agreement regardless of the current market price or resale price.

It\u2019s one thing if your car shudders when it\u2019s parked and idling but when the jerking happens while you\u2019re driving at speed, it could take you by surprise and even cause you to lose control of your car. A jerking car could signify a number of issues from a dirty air filter to a clogged catalytic converter. And if left unchecked for too long, the issue could cause major, more costly problems.\n\n\n\n\nWhat It\u2019s Like When Your Car Is Jerking\n\n\nWhen your car jerks, it often feels like it\u2019s struggling to move forward even when you press down on the accelerator pedal. Depending on the severity of the problem, your car could have just minor shaking, or, in some cases even hesitate for a second and then lunge forward when you put your foot on the pedal.\u00a0\n\n\nIf your car is jerking while accelerating from a stop, it makes it hard to pick up speed and can be annoying especially in stop-and-go traffic. However, things can get dangerous if your car jerks when you\u2019re already driving at speed as you could suddenly slow down and cause a collision.\u00a0\n\n\nRead:\n \nWhat do Your Car Warning Lights and Indicators Mean\n\n\nWhat Can Cause a Jerking Car?\n\n\nA jerking car can be caused by a number of issues. While some are easily fixed like replacing a dirty air filter, some signs require more attention. Many issues that cause your car to jerk can trigger the \nCheck Engine Warning Light\n, so if you notice any of these, be sure to get your car checked.\n\n\nWorn Out or Damaged Spark Plugs\n\n\nSpark plugs are responsible for delivering the electric current from the ignition system to the combustion chamber. This \u201cspark\u201d ignites the mixture of fuel and compressed air which then moves the pistons in your engine cylinders. If you have faulty spark plugs, the fuel can\u2019t ignite properly and the cylinders will misfire. This misfiring can cause your car to jerk when accelerating, while maintaining speed as well as vibrate excessively when idling. Fortunately, you can fix this issue by replacing the spark plugs, which are generally affordable and should be part of your regular servicing schedule.\n\n\nDirty Air Filters\n\n\nThe air filter functions to prevent dirt and debris in the air from entering the engine. If it\u2019s dirty, it could restrict airflow to the engine, thus reducing the amount of oxygen that the engine gets. This causes an uneven oxygen-to-fuel ratio in the engine which leads to misfiring and car jerking. Oftentimes, the engine compensates for this by consuming more fuel to produce the same amount of power which then affects fuel economy. To prevent this, it\u2019s important to regularly replace your air filter during each \nscheduled service\n.\n\n\nDirty Fuel Filters\n\n\nLike an air filter, the fuel filter screens dirt and debris in the fuel. If it gets dirty, it could prevent enough fuel from getting to your engine causing jerking in your car. However, a dirty fuel filter could cause other issues including reduced engine performance especially under heavy acceleration, stalling while driving, and hard starting. If left unchecked, a dirty fuel filter could cause other parts of your fuel system to fail. For instance, your fuel pump could work harder to supply more fuel to the engine which may cause the pump to overheat and break down.\n\n\nClogged Fuel Injectors\n\n\nThe fuel injectors send a steady stream of fuel into your car\u2019s engine cylinders. When a fuel injector gets dirty, it won\u2019t be able to deliver the right amount of fuel to your engine quickly enough. In the end, the fuel won\u2019t get properly ignited which causes misfiring. Car jerking due to dirty fuel injectors is fairly rare, but fuel injector issues can lead to engine failure so it\u2019s important to check it out.\u00a0\n\n\nTo prevent clogged fuel injectors, you can regularly clean them with fuel injector cleaners \u2013 just pour the cleaner into your fuel tank according to the product instructions and you\u2019re done. You can also consult your mechanic to find out more about fuel injector cleaners that they recommend.\n\n\nRead: \nWhy Your Car Breaks Down & How to Get Help\n\n\nMalfunctioning Mass Airflow Sensor\n\n\nThe mass airflow (MAF) sensor measures the amount of air that your engine gets. This data is then used to adjust the amount of fuel that the fuel injector should supply to ensure the right oxygen-to-fuel ratio is maintained. With a defective MAF sensor, the fuel injector might end up sending the wrong amount of fuel to the engine, causing a host of problems.\u00a0\n\n\nYour car could end up jerking when accelerating or while maintaining high speeds. Your car could even have difficulty starting and could shake or stall while idling. If ignored for too long, a defective MAF sensor could cause your car to have reduced fuel efficiency and poor emissions. In extreme cases, it could cause the engine to seize, meaning it gets locked up and is unable to start. Depending on the extent of the damage, fixing a seized engine can be extremely difficult and expensive, so make sure you get your car checked if you encounter these problems.\n\n\n\n\nBlocked or Damaged Fuel Line\n\n\nA blocked or damaged fuel line could be another reason why your car is jerking. The fuel line transports fuel throughout your engine and when there\u2019s a cut or clog in the fuel line, there could be uneven fuel pressure to the engine. The low fuel pressure will cause your engine to misfire, which leads to jerking. If left unchecked, the leak from the damaged fuel line could even cause your engine to \ncatch fire\n.\n\n\nTransmission Issues\n\n\nThere are a number of transmission issues that can cause your car to jerk. If you have low transmission fluid, your car could shake or shudder when idling. You could also find your car jerking or lurching violently when accelerating from a standstill. Another issue that could cause your car to jerk is a malfunctioning transmission control unit (TCU). The TCU controls the shifting of your car as you accelerate so a malfunctioning one could cause your car to shift gears inconsistently or slowly which leads to your car jerking.\n\n\nClogged Catalytic Converters\n\n\nThe catalytic converter reduces the exhaust particles that your car emits. However, if it becomes clogged, it could cause an exhaust buildup which reduces airflow in your exhaust system. The obstructed airflow can cause jerking in your car and a number of other issues. Besides causing your car to jerk when accelerating, at speed, or while idling, a clogged catalytic converter could affect the fuel economy of your car and even increase your car\u2019s exhaust emissions. If you notice that your car is jerking, consuming more fuel, and spewing out more smoke, then you could have a clogged catalytic converter.\n\n\nWhile you can still drive a jerking car if the occurrences are minor or few and far between, more frequent and stronger jerking when maintaining speed could mean there are serious issues with your car. If you notice something off about your car, get it checked by a mechanic as soon as possible. Jerking may develop from a minor issue into a more major, costly issue. \n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for \nreliable used cars\n on a trusted platform, check out CARSOME.

When your car jerks, it often feels like it\u2019s struggling to move forward even when you press down on the accelerator pedal. Here are some common instances when a car can be jerking.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCar Jerking While Driving at a Constant Speed\n\n\nImagine driving while maintaining speed on the highway and your car engine suddenly jerks. It usually involves your car juddering abruptly before continuing like normal, or, in some cases even hesitating for a second and then lunging forward when you step on the accelerator.\u00a0\n\n\nThis can definitely be scary especially if there are other cars around you going at high speeds too. Common issues related to this include faulty fuel injectors or mass airflow sensors, or dirty filters.\n\n\n\n\nCar Jerking When Accelerating\n\n\nThe most common instance of a car jerking is when accelerating from a standstill. When this happens, a car usually hesitates to move when you step on the accelerator, accompanied by either a sudden lurch forward or juddering as though your car is struggling to move. Common problems contributing to engine jerking when accelerating include a faulty throttle cable, worn spark plugs, or faulty fuel injectors.\n\n\n\n\nCar Jerking While Idling\n\n\nSometimes, your car could jerk, shake, or rattle even at idle. Slight vibrations are normal, especially in an older car but excessive vibrations could be a sign of structural issues like worn-out bushings or damaged engine mounts.\u00a0\n\n\nThough not as common, you could also have your engine jerking or stuttering while idling, and feeling like it\u2019s out of breath. If your car jerks like this at a low RPM, you could have bad spark plugs or a worn throttle sensor.\n\n\n\n\nCar Jerking While Braking\n\n\nThis is an uncommon problem, though it could still be dangerous. A car that jerks while braking can abruptly jerk to a stop or shake rapidly before stopping. Your car might also have reduced stopping power which can lead to accidents especially if you\u2019re in a situation where you can\u2019t brake in time. If your car jerks when braking, you could have a warped brake rotor/disc or excessive debris on your brakes.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nWhat do Your Car Warning Lights and Indicators Mean\n\n\n\n\nWhat Can Cause a Jerking Car?\n\n\nA jerking car can be caused by a number of issues.

If you have worn or dirty brake pads, your brakes will usually produce a grinding or \nsquealing noise when you brake\n, accompanied by some vibration. If you have warped or damaged brake rotors, your car could jerk violently when braking, depending on the condition of the rotors.\u00a0\n\n\nYour car could also pulsate as you slow down due to the uneven rotors, taking more time to stop. These issues are especially dangerous as they result in reduced stopping power, which can lead to accidents.\n\n\nWhile you can still drive a jerking car if the occurrences are minor or few and far between, more frequent and stronger jerking when driving at constant speed could mean there are serious issues with your car.

If you\u2019re unfamiliar with it, leasing involves paying a monthly fee for a car for up to three years, and after the lease is over, having the option to either return it and end your lease, buy the car and own it, or choose another car to lease.\n\n\nWhile it sounds attractive, leasing a car may not be for everyone. So if you\u2019ve wondered whether you should buy or lease a car, here\u2019s a guide to help you make an informed decision.\n\n\n\n\nHow Does Leasing a Car Work?\n\n\nCar leasing allows you to drive a brand-new car for a specific length of time, usually between one and three years. Most Malaysian car leasing companies require you to pay an upfront fee before collecting the vehicle. Then, you pay a monthly fee over the duration of your lease.\u00a0\n\n\nThe monthly fees cover everything including the cost of leasing the car, road tax, insurance, and maintenance. Over the lease period, you use the car just as you would any car you own but you may have a limit to how far you can drive a month, depending on the leasing option you chose. At the end of the lease period, you can either return the car and lease a new one, or purchase the car for the guaranteed future value (GFV) that should be defined in your lease contract.\n\n\nRead More: \nCar Loan Got Rejected?

Here are the main pros and cons of both options to help you decide.\n\n\nPros of Leasing a Car\n\n\n\n\nPotentially lower overall cost:\n The monthly payments for leasing a car in Malaysia are higher than a typical car loan. However, as the leasing fees cover everything including road tax, insurance, and maintenance, you can potentially save money. This is especially true, for instance, if you lease an expensive continental car and it requires major repairs.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaintenance is taken care of:\n The leasing company is responsible for the scheduled maintenance of the vehicle during the lease duration. Therefore, you don\u2019t have to take the car to the workshop for servicing or repairs. Also, the warranty usually covers most of the cost.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDrive a new car every few years:\n After the lease is up, you have the option to purchase the car or return it and pick a new one to lease. If you enjoy driving a new ride with the latest technology, you can do so by leasing.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNo resale worries:\n Since you can just return the car after the lease is up, you don\u2019t have to worry about selling it. You only have to pay any end-of-lease fees, including for abnormal wear and tear and excess mileage.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCleaner credit score:\n By leasing a car, you won\u2019t have a car loan under your name and that means you\u2019ll have a cleaner credit score. This is great if you already have several debts to your name and plan to apply for a loan in the near future.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNo long-term commitment:\n Leasing means you won\u2019t be tied down by a long-term loan. That makes it a better choice if you\u2019re an expat who\u2019ll only be in Malaysia for a few years or if you have future plans that will affect your ability to service a car loan.\n\n\n\n\nCons of Leasing a Car\n\n\n\n\nYou don\u2019t own the car:\n One of the biggest drawbacks of leasing a car is that you have to return it when the lease expires unless you choose to purchase it. If you decide to return it, you won\u2019t have an asset in your possession.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNever-ending monthly payments: \nIf you decide to keep switching cars, you\u2019ll end up always paying to rent a car. At a certain point, you\u2019ll spend more on leasing a car than you would if you purchased one and kept it long-term.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMonthly mileage restrictions:\n Most car leasing companies have mileage restrictions on the car for the duration of the lease. However, they may also offer additional monthly mileage packages that you can pay for to get additional or unlimited miles on the car.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWear and tear fees: \nWhen you return the car after the lease is up, you\u2019ll have to ensure that it\u2019s in good condition. Otherwise, you may be charged for excess wear and tear. You may also be charged additional fees for excess mileage and unapproved modifications, if any. If you decide to end the contract early, you might need to pay an early termination fee.\n\n\n\n\nRead More:\n \nWhat to Do during a Tire Blowout and How to Avoid Crashing?\n\n\n\n\nPros of Buying a Car\n\n\n\n\nYou own the car:\n When you buy a car, you own it outright and it becomes an asset, albeit a depreciating one. You\u2019ll also form a long-term bond with your car \u2013 something you can\u2019t really do when you lease it. You can keep it for as long as you want and sell it at any time, or even give it to a family member. And if you do decide to sell it, you can still get some money back.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLower monthly payments:\n Even if you take a five-year loan on your car, you would have lower monthly payments compared to if you leased it. This, of course, doesn\u2019t include servicing and paying for unexpected major repairs. However, most cars you buy are covered by a warranty, including CARSOME Certified cars, which have a \none-year warranty\n.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou have total control:\n Since you own the car, you can drive it as much as you want and modify it in any way you see fit, though keep in mind some modifications may void your warranty.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNo special fees: \nAside from unexpected repairs, there are no special fees when you buy a car. You won\u2019t be charged for excess mileage, additional wear and tear, or if you need to let go of the car early for any reason. Some used car dealers may charge additional fees but at CARSOME, we\u2019re always upfront and don\u2019t charge any \nhidden fees\n.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheaper insurance: \nWhen you buy a car, the insurance goes down every year provided you don\u2019t claim from it. When you account for the reduced insured value of the car and the \nno-claim discount (NCD)\n on the insurance, you can save quite a bit on insurance the longer you own your car.\n\n\n\n\nCons of Buying a Car\n\n\n\n\nDepreciation:\n New cars generally \ndepreciate\n between 15 to 35 percent after the first year. If you like to change your car every few years, this is a disadvantage. However, if you plan to keep your car for years, its depreciation shouldn\u2019t matter as its service to you will most likely make up for it. On the other hand, if you decide to buy a used car, it would\u2019ve already gone through the worst of its depreciation.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou need a bigger down payment:\n Purchasing a car requires a down payment typically amounting to 10 to 20 percent of the car\u2019s value. The upfront fee of leasing a car in Malaysia is usually significantly lower than that.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou\u2019re responsible for repairs:\n When you own a car, you\u2019re responsible for taking it for its \nscheduled maintenance\n and for any unexpected repairs. Outside of the warranty period, you\u2019ll have to bear the costs on your own.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore effort to upgrade your car:\n \nUpgrading a car\n you own involves more work as you\u2019ll need to look for a suitable buyer or trade it in. That being said, pre-owned car platforms such as \nCARSOME\n can take your car at a reasonable price and even handle all the paperwork for you.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRestricted technology:\n Unless you upgrade your car after a few years, you can\u2019t enjoy the latest technology and features. Until you upgrade, you\u2019ll have to deal with dated styling and safety features.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCriteria\n\n\nLeasing\n\n\nBuying\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOwnership\n\n\nNo ownership \u2013 you pay to drive the car for a set timeframe.\n\n\nYou own the car and can keep it for as long as you want.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMonthly Payments\n\n\nThe monthly payments are usually higher than loan payments as the fees go towards maintenance, insurance, etc.\n\n\nLower monthly loan payments but these don\u2019t include maintenance and other additional costs.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCustomization\n\n\nYou\u2019re not allowed to customize a leased car as you have to return it the way you received it when the lease ends.\n\n\nYou can customize the car to your heart\u2019s content since you own it.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaintenance\n\n\nThe leasing company usually handles all the maintenance and repairs.\n\n\nYou\u2019re responsible for maintaining and repairing your own car.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDepreciation\n\n\nThe leased car doesn\u2019t depreciate but as you\u2019ll have to return it, you won\u2019t have any asset to your name.\n\n\nThe car depreciates in value but you\u2019ll still own it at the end of your loan tenure and you can decide to sell it.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdditional Fees\n\n\nThere might be additional fees to pay when you return the car such as for excessive wear and tear.\n\n\nThere are no additional fees when you buy a car other than unexpected repair costs.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEarly Termination\n\n\nEnding your lease early will incur a fee which should be detailed in the leasing contract.\n\n\nYou can sell your vehicle at any time, though you might need to top-up a bit of money to settle any loan balance.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLong-Term Cost\n\n\nThe long-term cost will eventually surpass that of buying a car if you keep renewing your lease.\n\n\nThere\u2019ll be no more monthly payments once you settle your car loan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMileage\n\n\nThere\u2019s usually a mileage limit on a leased car but you can pay extra for a higher limit.\n\n\nYou can drive as much as you want, though a lower-mileage usually contributes to better resale value.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTechnology and Features\n\n\nSince you have the option of upgrading your car every few years, you can always drive a new car with the latest features.\n\n\nYou\u2019re restricted to your current car\u2019s technology until you purchase a new car.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSo, Should You Lease or Buy a Car?\n\n\nIf you\u2019re unsure whether you should lease a car in Malaysia or just buy one, you first have to assess your goals, finances, and driving habits. Think about how much you can afford, how much you drive every month, and also if you want to own a car long-term.\u00a0\n\n\nHere are some scenarios where you may want to consider leasing over buying a car.\n\n\n\n\nYou want to upgrade your ride after every two or three years and don\u2019t want the hassle of settling your car loan and buying a new car.\n\n\nYou want a short- to medium-term car that you can drive without worrying about the upkeep and return when you no longer need it.\n\n\nYou\u2019re an expat who has difficulty securing a car loan, or you\u2019ll only be in the country for a few years.\n\n\n\n\nAnd here are reasons to buy a car instead of leasing one.\n\n\n\n\nYou want a long-term vehicle and prefer to own it yourself.\n\n\nYou plan to buy a reliable car with affordable maintenance, repair, and spare part costs, such as cars from Perodua, Proton, or Toyota. In this case, you\u2019ll probably save a lot more thanks to the car\u2019s reliability.\n\n\nYou plan to do a lot of driving be it for work, vacation, or e-hailing.\n\n\n\n\nWhether you decide to buy or lease a car, make sure you\u2019ve considered your needs and lifestyle. That way, you\u2019ll have an arrangement that truly works for you.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking to own a quality, affordable car, visit \nCARSOME\n to browse our large selection of cars from over 20 brands.

Once reserved for the upper echelons of premium vehicles, leather seats and upholstery have trickled down into even entry-level models.\n\n\nCar leather seats are plush and cosset you in a way that fabric just can\u2019t. Nonetheless, unlike fabric seats, they do require a little extra tender loving care to retain the soft and supple feel as well as prevent discoloration and cracking.\n\n\nJust like our skin, leather can turn dry and brittle with prolonged exposure to the heat and UV rays in our tropical weather. However, just like our skin, leather can be reconditioned to retain its soft finish and keep it looking fresh.\n\n\n\n\nExperts in interior car care recommend conditioning your car leather seats and upholstery every three months. Fortunately, it is a rather easy process and you can even whip up your own conditioning mixture with household items if you want to save a little money.\n\n\nBefore we delve into that though, we\u2019ll cover a little on some easy preventive measures to extend the lifespan of your leather interior. After all, prevention is better than cure, and not to mention fixing damaged leather seats will leave quite a hole in your pocket.\n\n\nPreventive measures\n\n\nPark in the Shade\n\n\nThe sun\u2019s UV rays are extremely harmful to your leather interior. Not only will the rays dry the surface and cause cracking, it will also lead to discoloration. If possible, always park in a shaded area to prevent prolonged exposure to UV rays and your car leather seats will be grateful.\n\n\nUse a Sunshade\n\n\nThe bigger the glass surface area, the more UV rays will enter your cabin and hit the leather seats. Use a sunshade when parked under the sun to reduce the amount of exposure to rays in the cabin.\n\n\nRead More:\n How to Clean & Disinfect Your Car\u2019s Cabin at Home\n\n\nLower the Window Slightly\n\n\nAt the same time, extreme temperatures in the cabin will dry out the leather seats. The heat from the sun reflects on the glass surface from inside and causes the cabin\u2019s temperature to spike above the ambient temperature by up to 15 degrees Celsius. Lower your windows slightly to help equalize the temperature inside.\n\n\nTint the Windows\n\n\nA \nquality tint for the windows\n can reduce the amount of UV rays that enters the cabin. This will result in a cooler cabin and less damage to the leather interior. Of course, a good tint can cost quite a bit of money but will be a solid investment in the long run.\n\n\nThe 5 Steps to Condition Your Car Leather Interior\n\n\n\n\nStep 1 \u2013 Vacuum Loose Dirt or Debris\n\n\nThe first step here is also the easiest. Grab your vacuum cleaner and make sure to only use the handheld upholstery attachment with the soft bristles to avoid scratching the leather. This is done to clean up as much dirt as possible, seeing that applying the conditioner onto the surface with debris present will be akin to rubbing abrasive contaminants into your leather finish.\n\n\nIf there are stubborn stains present, you can try applying some talcum powder. The powder functions as an absorbent to draw the moisture away from greasy or damp stains. Additionally, cornstarch works best on stains that are still new or moist. Just leave the substances on the stain for a few minutes before wiping with a damp microfiber cloth.\n\n\nRead More:\u00a0\nWrap VS Paint: A Guide to Refresh Your Car\u2019s Looks\n\n\nStep 2 \u2013 Apply the Conditioner\n\n\nAfter vacuuming, it is time to apply the leather conditioner. If the product comes in a spray bottle, apply quick bursts of it onto the surface from a distance of about 20cm away. If it is in liquid form, do not pour it onto the seat or surface but instead pour it onto a microfibre cloth and rub the cloth onto the surface.\n\n\nAlternatively, you can even whip up your own homemade leather conditioner from household items.\n\n\nThe key ingredient is white vinegar. With a pH value of 2.4, it is an efficient, yet gentle acid that can clean leather. To create the solution, mix three parts of vinegar with one part of distilled water. The water will further dilute the acidity of the vinegar. Pour it into a spray bottle and apply it to the leather surfaces but be cautious not to leave it on for too long. Just a couple of minutes is more than enough.\n\n\nStep 3 \u2013 Gently Rub the Conditioner into the Surface\n\n\nYou may use the same microfibre cloth that you applied the conditioner with or better yet, a new one. Delicately rub the conditioner into the leather surface in soft, circular motions. At the same time, the microfibre cloth will also be absorbing dirt and grime.\n\n\nIf you notice any stubborn stains, spray or pour a little more of the conditioner onto the microfibre cloth and gently rub the area until the spots are removed.\n\n\nOnce done, let the conditioner rest for two or three minutes.\n\n\nStep 4 \u2013 Wipe Away Excess Conditioner\n\n\nAfter allowing the conditioner to rest on the surface, use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe away the excess conditioner. This will also absorb any abrasive particles that were loosened during the earlier process.\n\n\nStep 5 \u2013 Buff the Leather Surface for a Shiny Finish\n\n\nFor the final step, you should grab a clean microfibre cloth or flip the previous one onto its dry side and buff the surface for a glossy sheen that\u2019s a sign of soft, supple leather. Buffing is akin to polishing the surface of the leather.\n\n\nAlthough very time-consuming, this step allows the softening and hydrating agents in the conditioner to penetrate every nook and cranny of the surface. This will go a long way in preventing cracking or discoloration from UV rays.\n\n\nBuy CARSOME Certified for Peace of Mind\n\n\nHere at CARSOME, we believe in creating an end-to-end buying journey to eliminate the concerns common in a traditional used car buying experience. \nCARSOME Certified\n is the new standard of buying pre-owned cars backed up by our \n175-point inspection\n together with our \nCARSOME Certified Refurbishment Process\n.

However, it doesn\u2019t mean that you have no chance of successfully applying for another loan. By understanding why your car loan was rejected, you can take steps to rectify your issues and improve the approval chances of future loan applications.\u00a0\n\n\nHere are the common reasons why car loans in Malaysia get rejected and what you can do to get your application approved.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIdentify Why Was Your Car Loan Rejected\n\n\nFirstly, it\u2019s important to identify why your loan application was rejected before applying again. Different banks may have different requirements when you apply for a car loan in Malaysia. So if the bank did not give you any reason for the rejection, it\u2019s a good idea to ask your banker or salesperson, and they should be able to find it out for you. Here are the most common reasons for your application to be denied.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nCar Loan Rejected as a Fresh Grad? Here\u2019s Why & How You Can Buy Your First Car\n\n\nPoor or No Credit Score\n\n\nA credit score refers to the \nCredit Tip-Off Service (CTOS) score\n that ranges between 300 and 850. It represents your creditworthiness and the likelihood that you will repay your debt, and is widely used by banks when assessing your loan application be it a property mortgage or car loan in Malaysia. CTOS obtains credit-related information from public sources such as the National Registration Department and the Malaysia Department of Insolvency to determine your credit score.\n\n\n\n\nImage source: CTOS\n\n\nSome information that CTOS looks at when calculating your credit score includes your payment history, other loans that you have, and your legal track record. While having a poor credit score is bad, not having one is equally damaging to your loan application. Without a credit score, the bank can\u2019t assess your creditworthiness and is less likely to give you the green light, even if you earn well.\n\n\nIncome Issues\n\n\nMost of the time, people think their applications get rejected due to insufficient income. However, your car loan can also be rejected if your income is irregular and hard to prove.\u00a0\n\n\nFor instance, you may be a self-employed contractor who gets paid directly by your clients, makes good money, and may not have payslips or proper documentation of your income. In this case, you might need to provide proof of income and bank statements for the previous year, as requested by your lender. If your statements don\u2019t match your claimed income, there\u2019s a high chance of your application being denied.\n\n\nLet\u2019s say you\u2019re a salesperson who relies on commissions, the lender might request several months\u2019 worth of payslips to confirm that you\u2019re getting a steady income. If your income looks sporadic, you might get rejected.\n\n\n\n\nHigh Debt Service Ratio\n\n\nThe debt service ratio (DSR) is the ratio of your debts to your household income. Basically, it\u2019s a measure of how much you owe compared to your income each month. Lenders use this ratio to determine if you can stay on top of your payments upon approval of your loan. Here\u2019s how to calculate your DSR.\n\n\n\n\nIf your DSR is too high, your car loan application is more likely to be declined. Most banks prefer you to have a DSR of 30 to 40 percent before approving your loan, though some may have a higher DSR limit.\n\n\nIncomplete Documents or Information\n\n\nWhen you apply for a car loan in Malaysia, you\u2019ll need to provide various documents and information to the lender including your address, payslips, bills, and bank statements. This is mostly to prevent fraud and determine if you are a genuine applicant.\u00a0\n\n\nEach lender may have its own requirements regarding how you submit the information and in what format. If the information you provide doesn\u2019t match your documentation or is incomplete, there\u2019s a higher chance of your application being rejected.\n\n\nRead More:\n \n5 Best CARSOME Certified Cars Under RM30,000\n\n\nYou Have Too Many Pending Loan Applications\n\n\nIt\u2019s common for buyers to \u201cshop around\u201d and apply for multiple car loans at once to have a higher chance of securing a loan. However, this practice can actually backfire and cause your applications to be rejected.\u00a0\n\n\nWhen banks assess your car loan application, they can check to see if you\u2019ve applied for other loans. And while there\u2019s nothing wrong with applying for multiple loans, having too many applications on your name may raise red flags on your authenticity. Keep your applications to two to three lenders at a time to avoid this risk.\n\n\n\n\nShort-Term Strategies to Secure a Car Loan\n\n\nOnce you have identified the reasons why your car loan was rejected, you can come up with a plan to improve your credit score and make it easier for you to secure loans. Here are some short-term actions you can take that can make your application look better and may even help you score a loan.\n\n\nGet Pre-qualified with Other Lenders\n\n\nWhen you get pre-qualified for a loan from a particular bank, you can know the loan amount and interest rate you are eligible to get from that bank. You can use this information to help you choose the car that better suits your finances or even negotiate with other banks. Getting pre-qualified doesn\u2019t involve locking in the rates and terms though, and they might change if you leave too much of a gap before finally applying for the loan.\n\n\nTo find out how much you can pre-qualify for, simply visit a bank and enquire about how much you can borrow based on your credit score. Before you buy a car from CARSOME, you can get a \npre-approved car loan\n which means you can secure a suitable loan first based on your income. After getting pre-approved, you can then select the car you want based on the loan amount that\u2019s approved for you.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More:\n \nBenefits of a Pre-approved Loan and How to Get It\n\n\nGet a Guarantor\n\n\nA guarantor is someone who is obligated to pay any outstanding debt if the principal borrower of the loan (the applicant) defaults on the loan. By having a strong guarantor in your loan application, you\u2019re more likely to succeed in your application, as you can show the bank that you have a safety net in terms of paying back the loan.\u00a0\n\n\nJust like how the bank assesses you, the borrower, it will also assess the guarantor\u2019s income, credit score, DSR, and more when reviewing your application. If the guarantor\u2019s creditworthiness is acceptable, you have a much better chance of having your car loan approved.\u00a0\n\n\nRemember that having a guarantor is not a ticket to buy a car without paying the loan. You should only choose a car that you can afford, so as to avoid defaulting on your loan and burdening your guarantor.\u00a0\n\n\nIncrease Your Down Payment Amount\n\n\nIf the issue is that your loan amount is too high, you can most probably fix it by reducing the loan amount you\u2019re applying for. And one way to do that is to pay a larger down payment on the car. If you can\u2019t acquire the amount you need immediately, you might need to save for a few extra months to accumulate the necessary down payment. That being said, if you require a car urgently, it might be a better idea to consider cheaper options, such as a \npre-owned car\n.\n\n\nApply from Other Lenders\n\n\nBeing rejected by one bank doesn\u2019t mean that all banks have the same view of your creditworthiness. It might just mean that you don\u2019t suit the specific requirements of that particular bank. If you believe you have good finances and have done everything you need to improve your credit score, you can approach two or three other lenders to apply for a car loan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nLong-Term Strategies for Future Loan Applications\n\n\nIf your car loan rejection is due to your financial profile, you may need to spend more time improving it before you can successfully apply for loans. Here are some long-term strategies you should take to make it easier for you to borrow in the future.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nHow to Transfer Car Ownership in Malaysia at JPJ & Online\n\n\nImprove Your Credit Score\n\n\nA good credit score is important to help you secure loans, and there are several ways to improve it.\n\n\n\n\nBuild credit history:\n If you don\u2019t have existing loans or credit cards yet, it\u2019s a good idea to apply for a credit card to build your credit history. Just remember to pay the credit card charges on time every month. You can also apply for other types of loans and be punctual with your payments. Over time, these will help improve your credit score.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet up to date with payments:\n If you are behind on payments on your credit card or other loans, you should do your best to get up to date with them. While it can be challenging to settle your outstanding debt, you can try to allocate more money each month to bring your account payments up to date. You can also contact your lenders to work out a new payment plan or do a balance transfer of your existing debt.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReduce your debt:\n Any existing loan you have affects your DSR. By reducing your debt, you\u2019ll improve your DSR and free up more income which you can use to pay for a new loan. If you have existing loans, you can pay them off in a lump sum and reduce your overall debt. You can also \nrefinance\n your existing loans if there are more affordable loans on the market with lower interest rates.\n\n\n\n\nIncrease Your Income\n\n\nThe next best thing you can do for your creditworthiness is to increase your income. That may be easier said than done but it\u2019s important to think about especially if you plan on purchasing property, upgrading your car, or saving up for your kids.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you foresee that there will be major changes that can reduce your income, such as starting a new career or furthering your education, it\u2019s best to have your loan approved first and then set up a plan for paying off your loan before starting your new venture.\n\n\nChoose CARSOME for Quality, Affordable Cars\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a quality car, check out \nCARSOME\n.

By taking up this loan, an individual is tied down to a formal written agreement where the borrower (car buyer) is indebted to pay the loan amount plus interest to the lender (banks, financial agents, etc.) over a specified period of time.\u00a0\n\n\nFor most of us, getting a car loan is unavoidable as most people wouldn\u2019t have enough cash for it. However, do note that if you fail to keep up with the loan payments, it may result in the \ncar being repossessed\n by the lender.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBasic Car Loan Terms to Understand\n\n\nHere are some basic car loan terms you should know before we dive deeper into this topic.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nInterest Rate\n: \nThis is the price you pay to borrow money from the bank. The car loan interest rates in Malaysia depend on the base rate that is provided by the bank, which can go up or down depending on the country\u2019s economy and decisions by Bank Negara.\n\n\nDown Payment\n: The upfront payment for the car that covers part of the cost.\u00a0 It is usually 10 percent of the total cost for new cars and 20 percent for used cars.\n\n\nMargin of Finance\n: The proportion of the car\u2019s cost that the bank will lend to you. Basically, this refers to how much the bank will be financing your car\u2019s cost.\u00a0\n\n\nLoan Period\n: The total amount of months or years taken to pay off your loan.\n\n\nInstallment\n: The amount that you need to pay monthly to the bank to clear off your loan.\n\n\nGuarantor\n: Someone who is bound legally to pay off your loan if you are not able to do it.\n\n\nRepossession:\n The lender (bank) takes away the car from a borrower when the latter fails to service the car loan installments in two consecutive months.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSo, What Are the Documents Required for a \nCar Loan in Malaysia?\n\n\nHere are the requirements and general documents you will need for a car loan application.\n But keep in mind that some banks may require additional documents when you apply for a loan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGovernment Employees/Civil Servants\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEligible for those 21 years old and above\u00a0\n\n\nValid Malaysian IC (for Malaysians) & driving license\n\n\nLatest three months payslips\u00a0\n\n\nLatest bank statement (depending on the bank)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrivate Sector Employees\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEligible for those 21 years old and above\u00a0\n\n\nValid Malaysian IC (for Malaysians) & driving license\n\n\nLatest three months payslips\u00a0\n\n\nEPF or bank statement\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSelf Employed Individuals\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEligible for those 21 years old and above\u00a0\n\n\nValid Malaysian IC (for Malaysians) & driving license\n\n\nLatest six months bank statement\n\n\nCopy of Company Registration (SSM)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGraduate/Young Professional Scheme\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEligible for those aged between 18 and 30\u00a0\n\n\nValid Malaysian IC (for Malaysians) and driving license\n\n\nJob Offer Letter (for applicants who\u2019ve been working for less than three months)\n\n\nA certified copy of degree/diploma certificate\n\n\nLatest three months payslip\n\n\nLatest bank statement (depending on the bank)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow Does a Car Loan Work in Malaysia?\n\n\nGenerally, there are two types of car loans. \nThe interest rates may vary between these two \nas it depends on the base rate, the bank you choose, and if you are getting a new car or a used car.\n\n\nTwo main types of car loans:\n\n\n\n\nFixed rate loans:\n The interest rate and monthly installments stay the same throughout the loan period.\n\n\nVariable rate loans:\n The interest rate is pegged against the Base Lending Rate (BLR). The BLR is a rate determined by the bank on the cost of borrowing money that will be lent out.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBanks typically provide you a margin of finance up to 90 percent, while the rest is considered as your down payment.\u00a0 But if you can afford it, paying a higher down payment will lessen your principal loan amount and interest.\n\n\nRead More: \nCar Loan Rejected as a Fresh Grad? Here\u2019s Why & How You Can Buy Your First Car\n\n\nAnother factor that might affect your installment and interest is the loan period. In Malaysia, the maximum repayment period for a car loan is nine years. The longer you stretch the repayment period, the less installment amount you\u2019ll pay per month, though at the expense of incurring more interest over the long run.\n\n\nExample:\n You take up a RM 70,000 car loan with an interest rate of 3.5 percent.\n The table below shows the total interest that will be accrued\n, as well as your monthly installment.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLoan Period\n\n\n3 Years\n\n\n5 Years\n\n\n9 Years\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMonthly Installment\n\n\nRM2,148.61\u00a0\n\n\nRM1,370.83\u00a0\n\n\nRM852.31\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTotal Interest\n\n\nRM7,350\n\n\nRM12,250\n\n\nRM22,050\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDo take note that car loans with a margin of financing of 100 percent do exist. Full loan financing is offered only by very few lenders and for specific buyers such as first-time car buyers.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCar Loan Installment & Interest Rates\n\n\nThe installment and interest rate that is calculated for your fixed-rate car loan is determined by these values:\n\n\n\n\nLoan amount;\n\n\nLoan period; and\n\n\nThe interest rate.\n\n\n\n\nThese are the formulas used to determine the total interest, monthly interest, and monthly installment for your loan.\n\n\n\n\nYour total interest\n = interest rate/100 x loan amount x loan period\n\n\nYour monthly interest \n= total interest / (loan period x 12)\n\n\nYour monthly installment \n= (loan amount + total interest) / (loan period x 12)\n\n\n\n\nLet\u2019s circle back to the same example where your car loan is at RM70,000 with an interest rate of 3.5 percent and a five-year loan period. Here is how your total interest, monthly interest and monthly installment will be calculated based on the formula above.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTotal Interest: \n3.5% x RM 70,000 x 5 = RM 12,250\n\n\nMonthly Interest\n = RM 12,250/ (5\u00d712) = RM 204.16\n\n\nMonthly Installment\n = (RM 70,000 + RM 12,250) / (5\u00d712) = RM 1370.83\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCar Loan Calculator\n\n\nCar hire purchase\n interest rates in Malaysia differ according to different factors which include the brand, model, the car\u2019s age (new or used), the financial status of the borrower, the total loan amount, the repayment period, and the borrower.\u00a0\n\n\nSo, it is always a good idea to make comparisons between several legal and official lenders to find the car loan with the lowest interest rate and terms that satisfy your needs. The easiest way to do that is by using a calculator like this \nused car loan calculator\n.\n\u00a0\n\n\nHere is a list of the car loan interest rates* in Malaysia for new and used cars from the ten major banks.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBank\n\n\nNew Car Loan Interest Rate\n\n\nUsed Car Loan Interest Rate\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRHB Bank\n\n\n3.18%\n\n\nUnavailable\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPublic Bank\n\n\n3.31%\n\n\n4.1%\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaybank\n\n\n3.40%\n\n\n4.25%\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHong Leong Bank\n\n\n3.24%\n\n\n3.78%\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCIMB Bank\n\n\n3.755%\n\n\n4.45%\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBank Muamalat\n\n\n2.95%\n\n\nUnavailable\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBank Islam\n\n\n2.35%\n\n\nUnavailable\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmBank\n\n\n3.05%\n\n\n3.66%\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAffin Bank\n\n\n2.92%\n\n\n3.00%\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBSN\n\n\n3.00\n\n\n3.80%\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*Based on individual bank\u2019s hire purchase loan information\n\n\n\n\nCheck out These Helpful Tips to Get Your Car Loan Approved\n\n\n\n\nHere are some things you should take note of if you don\u2019t want your application to get rejected.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDetermine what you can afford based on your monthly income:\n \nThis is the most important aspect of the car-buying process. You need to know the type of car you need and how much you can afford. The rule of thumb is to only spend 20 percent of your income on your car loan.\u00a0\n\n\nCheck your credit score\n: For those with a clean or non-existent credit history (zero loans and credit card payment record), the chances of your car loan being approved by the bank are very low. \nFor starters, you need to build a credit history for a minimum of six months such as by getting a credit card. This will show the bank that you can be a good paymaster. \nFor those with a poor credit history, you need to rectify your repayment habits by paying your loan or credit card on time, or in full because a poor credit score will lower your chances of getting your car loan approved.\n\n\nCompare car loan interest rates: \nSince banks have different terms and interest rates for new and second-hand car loans, it is important to research their interest rates. You can also apply to multiple banks and pick out the best offer.\u00a0\n\n\nGet a guarantor:\n If your credit score is low or non-existent, you can get a guarantor to strengthen your application. The guarantor, who is typically a close relative, will assume the same risks as the borrower.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAlways remember, when it comes to getting a car, you should also take into consideration all the other costs that might come up along the way. These costs include petrol, maintenance, repair, road tax, insurance, parking, and travel costs such as highway tolls, among others. So, make sure you consider these costs when budgeting a car!\n\n\nAlso Read: \nEverything You Need To Know About Car Insurance In Malaysia\n\n\n\n\nMalaysia Car Loan FAQ\n\n\n\n\nWhat is the minimum downpayment required when buying a car?\n\n\n\n\nThe minimum downpayment is usually 10 percent of the car\u2019s purchase price for new vehicles and 20 percent of the price for used vehicles. However, a lender may require a higher down payment or offer promotions with a lower or even zero down payment requirement.\n\n\n2. Can I change the monthly installment amount if I have financial difficulties?\n\n\nIf you are unable to pay your installment due to financial difficulties, you can discuss the matter with your bank. Do note that the decision to modify your loan payment terms is up to the bank\u2019s discretion.\n\n\n3. Do I still need to pay the monthly installments if my car is stolen?\n\n\nYes, because your loan does not cease with the theft of your car. However, you may claim the losses from your insurance provider, up to the market value of your car or the sum insured, whichever is lower. You can then use this insurance claim to settle your loan with the bank.\n\n\n4. Can I keep my car grant or vehicle ownership certificate (VOC) so I can renew my motor insurance and road tax?\n\n\nThe lender will keep the VOC until the loan has been settled in order to avoid potential inconveniences stemming from card damage, misplacement, or theft. Most banks will provide insurance and road tax renewal services to their borrowers, so you can apply for the renewal directly from your lender. Alternatively, you can apply for a motor insurance and road tax renewal\n\n\n5. How do I retrieve the vehicle ownership certificate (VOC) from the bank after I have settled my car loan?\n\n\nOnce you have settled your loan, you can call the bank to confirm that it has been settled and to find out at which branch your VOC is kept. You can then visit the particular branch to collect it.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking to buy an affordable, quality car, do check \nCARSOME\n out.

That said, our cars serve us daily and are subject to significant wear and tear both on the mechanical parts as well as on the exterior and interior trim. It\u2019s inevitable that your car\u2019s condition will decline over time but you can slow down the wear and tear on your car by following some basic car maintenance tips.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you\u2019ve been wondering how to take care of your car so it serves you for as long as possible, we\u2019ve got all you need to know.\n\n\n\n\n1. Observe a Proper Break-in Period\n\n\nEveryone wants a car that remains in top condition for as long as they own it. And the first step to do that when you buy a new car is to follow the break-in or run-in instructions provided by the manufacturer. Since the components in the car are new, driving more gently in the beginning will help the parts adjust and last longer.\n\n\n\n\nTypically, manufacturers will advise that you keep the engine revs to below 3,000 revolutions per minute (rpm) for the first 1,000 km and the speed to below 100 km/h, though be sure to refer to your owner\u2019s manual to be sure.\n\n\nAvoid sudden acceleration and braking as these will stress the engine components and brakes, thus wearing them out faster.\n\n\n\n\n2. Park in the Shade\n\n\nThe heat and UV rays from our hot tropical sun can damage your car\u2019s paint and interior, causing them to lose their luster and even crack over time. Fortunately, an easy car care tip to avoid sun damage is to park your car in the shade whenever possible.\u00a0 If you can\u2019t do so, you can use window shades to protect your dashboard and interior surfaces from the sun\u2019s rays and keep your car cooler for when you get back to it.\u00a0\n\n\nAnother thing you can do is to use a car cover. This will protect your whole car from the sun, moisture, dust, bird droppings, and items that might scratch your car such as pebbles and tree branches.\n\n\nRead More: \nTips to Keep Your Car\u2019s Paint Shining On a Budget\n\n\n\n\n3. Clean the Interior\n\n\nA simple but effective car maintenance tip that keeps your car looking new for years is to \nmaintain its interior\n. Be sure to vacuum and wipe down the interior surfaces every time you wash your car. Food particles and spilt drinks will attract insects and promote bacterial growth, which can lead to unpleasant odors, so pay attention to gaps in the seats and under the floor mats.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nUse the right vacuum wand head according to the surfaces you\u2019re vacuuming so you can clean more effectively. To clean the plastic surfaces, wipe them down with a mild solution of soap and water on a soft cloth. You can also use car interior cleaning solutions specially formulated for different materials.\n\n\n4. Maintain Your Leather Upholstery\n\n\nMany car owners are usually unsure of how to maintain their car\u2019s leather upholstery, and while leather seats are easy to clean and durable, they can still become soiled and damaged after a few years. If you often park in the hot sun and leave your upholstery unprotected, it can form cracks over time.\n\n\nBefore you vacuum your upholstery, make sure the tip of your vacuum wand has no rough surfaces that can scratch the leather. Then, use a leather cleaner to remove stains and apply some car leather protectant to protect the leather from stains and make it easier to clean in the future. You can also use three-in-one leather cleaners that remove stains, condition, and protect your upholstery while helping you save time.\n\n\n5. Fix Windshield Chips Early\n\n\nSmall windshield chips can develop into large cracks which, on a bad day, can lead to your windshield shattering. So if you notice small chips or cracks in your \nwindshield\n, take your car to a windshield repair shop.\u00a0\n\n\nIt\u2019s a lot cheaper than replacing the windshield and it keeps the damage from spreading, thus restoring the visual clarity and structural integrity of your windshield. It\u2019s generally agreed that chips of 2 cm in diameter and cracks of up to 30 cm in length can safely be fixed, but always check with the repair shop before you do it.\n\n\n\n\n6. Clean Your Engine Bay\n\n\nOne car care tip that will help your car run better for longer is to clean the engine. The grime and grease on the engine can trap heat, causing the engine to run hotter. Plus, a clean engine makes it easier for you to service it and check for leaks. Remember to work in a shaded area or when it\u2019s cool outside as the cleaning solution can dry up fast when it\u2019s hot out.\n\n\nBefore you start, use plastic bags to protect sensitive parts from water. These include the alternator, fuse box, distributor, air filter and intake, and other exposed electronics. Use a degreaser or soap water and several different-sized brushes to scrub the outer surface of the engine and its components. Then, rinse it down with low-pressure water to avoid getting any water into the engine, and wipe the surfaces dry with a clean cloth.\n\n\n7. Maintain Your Battery Regularly\n\n\nMost people don\u2019t consider the \nbatteries\n when thinking of how to take care of their car, especially since most cars now use dry-cell (maintenance-free) batteries. However, a dry-cell battery still needs some maintenance and you can do that by keeping it clean. Besides checking the battery voltage every time you service your car, keeping the battery terminals clean can prevent voltage from leaking, further increasing your battery\u2019s lifespan.\n\n\n\n\nFirst, wipe the battery case with a damp cloth, and if necessary, use a mild detergent. Keeping the battery case clean can prevent grease and corrosion from developing on the terminals.\n\n\nNext, loosen and remove the negative terminal (with the black cable or minus sign) and then remove the positive terminal (with the red cable or plus sign).\n\n\nUse a battery terminal brush, a toothbrush, or any small brush dipped in a cup of water mixed with a tablespoon of baking soda to brush the battery posts and terminal until they\u2019re clean. Once done, wipe them dry with a clean cloth.\n\n\nInspect the battery case and cables for damage and corrosion. If you have frayed or damaged wires, you need to replace them immediately. You can purchase replacement car battery wires from auto spare parts shops and on e-commerce sites, and it\u2019s fairly easy to replace the wires on your own, but you can always get a mechanic to do it for you if you\u2019re not sure how.\n\n\nLastly, reinstall the positive cable followed by the negative one, and spray a thin coating of WD-40 to prevent corrosion.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. Protect Your Paint with Wax\n\n\nYou might wash your car often enough but to properly protect your car\u2019s paint job, waxing it is your best bet. Car wax forms a barrier on the surface of the paint, protecting it against dirt, pollution, bird droppings, and oxidation, helping your car look better for longer.\n\n\nYou can choose from three types of car wax \u2013 paste, liquid, and spray wax. Paste wax provides the best shine and protection against the elements but requires the most time to apply. Liquid wax is easier to apply and lasts longer \u2013 up to a year. And while it doesn\u2019t give as good a shine as paste wax, it still provides good protection.\u00a0\n\n\nSpray wax is the easiest to apply on your car as you only need to spray it on and wipe it off. That being said, it doesn\u2019t provide as much protection and lasts about one to three months. To apply wax on your car, simply follow the instructions on the packaging.\n\n\nRead More: \nCar Polish or Wax \u2013 How to Maintain Your Car\u2019s Shine\n\n\n9. Be Mindful of How You Drive\n\n\nOne of the best habits to have when it comes to maintaining your car is to drive with care. By being mindful of how you drive, you will put less stress on all your car\u2019s components and slow down the wear and tear. Here are the driving tips you can follow to place less stress on your car:\n\n\n\n\nDon\u2019t rev your engine right after start-up:\n Since the engine temperature is still low and the engine oil hasn\u2019t had enough time to circulate in the engine, high revving after start-up can cause excessive friction and damage your engine.\n\n\nAccelerate slowly after start-up:\n Doing this allows the engine and engine oil to slowly get up to optimal operating conditions, thus reducing friction.\n\n\nAvoid idling to warm up your engine: \nWhile older cars with carburetors needed time to warm up, modern cars with fuel injection can be driven immediately after start-up. In fact, idling can damage your engine as it takes longer for the engine to reach operating temperature, resulting in more incomplete combustion.\n\n\nAvoid heavy acceleration and braking:\n Sudden acceleration and braking put more stress on your car\u2019s components. It might also cause uneven wear and tear leading to more frequent trips to the mechanic. Plus, aggressive driving will increase your fuel consumption.\n\n\nCombine multiple errands in one trip:\n Most of the wear and tear on the engine and drivetrain happens in the first few minutes of driving. By consolidating your short driving trips, you can start your car less often, thus reducing wear and tear.\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nStop Driving On An Almost-empty Fuel Tank Or Risk Damaging Your Fuel Pump\n\n\n\n\n10. Use the Right Type of Fluids\n\n\nAn important car maintenance tip is to not only change your car\u2019s fluids on time but to use the right type of fluids.\u00a0\n\n\nEngine Oil\n\n\nWhen choosing the right engine oil, follow the viscosity recommended in your owner\u2019s manual so you get optimal lubrication in your engine. If you use oil that is too thick, the engine needs to work harder. This generates more heat and consumes more fuel. If you use oil that is too thin instead, there won\u2019t be enough lubrication in the engine, leading to more wear and tear.\n\n\nTransmission Fluid\n\n\nWhen changing your transmission fluid, make sure you know what kind of transmission you have. There are now more variations of the automatic transmission with the most common being the conventional automatic transmission, dual-clutch transmission (DCT), and continuously variable transmission (CVT). Each type of transmission requires its own lubricant to function well, so pay attention when you replace your transmission fluid.\n\n\nCoolant\n\n\nMost cars only require a coolant change every 40,000 to 60,000 km, so it\u2019s not something we often think about when maintaining our cars. That being said, each car has its own coolant requirements so be sure to check your owner\u2019s manual for this requirement. If you need to top up your coolant at any point, don\u2019t mix coolants of different colors as they may have different formulations that could react with each other to damage your radiator and cooling system.\n\n\nTrade In Your Car with CARSOME\n\n\nWith these simple car care tips, we hope you now know how to take care of your car so it lasts as long as possible.

While you may also review the price, overall design, safety features, or its fuel consumption rate, there is one key factor that many overlook \u2013\u00a0 the car\u2019s depreciation value, also known as the future car market value.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKnowing the depreciation rate of your soon-to-be car is important because it helps you estimate its value within the next five years. So, here is what you need to know about the depreciation rate, including factors that affect the car market value, how the estimate of your car\u2019s depreciation rate, as well as the estimated buyout price of popular cars that are sold to Carsome.\n\n\nWhat does the Depreciation Rate of a Car Mean?\n\n\nThe depreciation rate of a car refers to the difference between the original value of a car at the time of purchase and the final value at the time of sale of that car.\u00a0\n\n\nUsually, the declining market value of a car depends on its daily use (wear and tear). In other words, if a car is used regularly, the depreciation rate is higher and that lowers down the current market value of a car.\u00a0\n\n\nHowever, the depreciation rate of a car also varies depending on the car model, brand, and the year it was manufactured \u2013 typically, the average depreciation rate is around 15 to 35 percent in the first year, while it can hike up to 50 percent when it reaches its fifth year and above.\n\n\nFor example: If you buy a Perodua Myvi for RM55,300 today, you will probably lose between 40 to 50 percent of its original value if you sell it in the next five years \u2013 this means you can sell it off for a price range between RM27,000 and RM33,000. This, of course, could fluctuate depending on your car\u2019s condition as well.\u00a0\n\n\nMeanwhile, according to automotive experts, selecting a car with a higher resale value is better (and more profitable) than selecting a fuel-efficient car. A medium-sized family car purchased three years ago may depreciate or lose an estimated RM12,559 off its original value today. Yet, the cost of petrol may cost more than this depreciation rate, based on a calculation of 12,000 miles per year, over a period of three years.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n10 Factors that Affect the Car Market Value\n\n\nHere are some factors that can affect the depreciation of cars in the market:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMileage\n \u2013 If a car is used regularly or if the mileage reading of a car is high, the higher the depreciation of the car.\u00a0 On average, the estimated mileage for a year is around 10,000 \u2013 12,000 km.\n\n\nReputation and Reliability\n \u2013 Some models or brands have a certain reputation that makes them popular among buyers. Therefore, the reliability rate of a particular brand or model can affect the depreciation rate of a car. Cars with a bad reputation (eg: model recalls) have a potential of depreciating even faster.\n\n\nConsumer\u2019s Choice\n \u2013 Just like fashion trends, consumers\u2019 choice of cars also changes according to situation and circumstances. As seen from the current automotive trend, it focuses more on the usage of SUV-like vehicles such as Proton X70 and X50. Popular car models usually have a lower depreciation rate.\n\n\nNumber of Owners\n \u2013 If a car has been sold or changed owners several times, this tends to affect the depreciation rate of that car.\n\n\nCar Condition\n \u2013 Certain damages to the vehicle\u2019s body, interior, and exterior features will also reduce the car market value.\n\n\nService History\n \u2013 \nMaintenance or services\n that are done regularly, or according to schedule ensures that the car is in good condition. This, in turn, slows down the depreciation rate of your car because it is maintained well. It is advised to keep records of the servicing schedule or receipts of expenses in the maintenance manual to show proof of proper maintenance.\n\n\nWarranty Period\n \u2013 Some car manufacturers offer a warranty period between five and seven years. A longer warranty period can indirectly be a bonus when selling your car.\n\n\nDesirability \n\u2013 Some car models offer a facelift version or an upgraded design every few years. So, if you purchase a recently upgraded car, the resale value of that car would be high as well.\n\n\nSize\n \u2013 Larger-sized cars tend to depreciate more compared to smaller-sized cars because they usually require larger maintenance costs (car servicing, spare parts) and expenses (fuel costs).\n\n\nFuel Efficiency \n\u2013 Typically, cars with fuel-saving technology are offered at a higher price as they are more popular among used car buyers.\n\n\n\n\nWhat is the Average Depreciation Rate of a Car?\n\n\nAlthough there are many factors that affect the depreciation rate, new cars generally depreciate faster than used cars regardless of the model or brand.\u00a0\n\n\nHere is a generic car depreciation timeline:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAfter one minute: \nAs soon as a new car is driven off from the sales center, it starts to depreciate somewhere between nine and 11 percent. For example, if you bought your car for RM60,000, driving it home for the first time lowers your car value by a whooping RM6,600.\u00a0\n\n\nAfter one year: \nBased on statistics, new cars experience the largest depreciation in the first 12 months of ownership. After a year, your car would have a depreciation rate of up to 20 percent from its original price.\n\n\nAfter five years:\n New cars typically depreciate between 15 to 25 percent annually until the fifth year. After the fifth year, the car loses about 60 percent of its original value.\n\n\n\n\nThe table below shows the estimated depreciation rate for cars in Malaysia. For this, we will use the actual selling price of a Perodua Myvi (RM55,300) as an example.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA New Perodua Myvi 1.5L AV\n\n\nPercentage of Depreciation Rate\n\n\nValue of Depreciation Rate\n\n\nCar Valuation After Depreciation\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice Before Purchase\n\n\n5%\n\n\nRM2,765\n\n\nRM52,535\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFirst 6 Months\n\n\n10%\n\n\nRM5,530\n\n\nRM49,770\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6 Months \u2013 1 Year\n\n\n15%\n\n\nRM8,295\n\n\nRM47,005\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1 Year \u2013 2 Years\n\n\n20%\n\n\nRM11,060\n\n\nRM44,240\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2 Years \u2013 3 Years\n\n\n30%\n\n\nRM16,590\n\n\nRM38,710\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3 Years \u2013 4 Years\n\n\n40%\n\n\nRM22,120\n\n\nRM33,180\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4 Years \u2013 5 Years\n\n\n50%\n\n\nRM27,650\n\n\nRM27,650\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore than 5 Years\n\n\nDetermined jointly between the owner and the insurer\n\n\n\u2013\n\n\n\u00a0Determined jointly between the owner and the insurer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is the Estimated Buyout Price of Cars at Carsome?\n\n\nWhile most new cars experience a significant drop in its depreciation rate, there are a few popular brands and models with a relatively lower depreciation rate.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBased on Carsome\u2019s Insight 2020,\n popular brands\n such as Perodua, Honda, and Toyota have a high reputation and reliability among consumers, therefore recording lower depreciation rates.\n\n\nMeanwhile, here are seven popular car models sold to Carsome in 2020\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Myvi\n\n\n\n\nIt is no surprise that Perodua Myvi ranked first in sales for the year 2020 (29,313 units), followed by Axia (28,107 units) and Bezza (25,416 units). This makes Myvi the best-selling Perodua model in Malaysia for the year 2020. In addition to that, Perodua Myvi recorded a high demand within the used car market. Basically, increased demand for Perodua Myvis in the new car market has a positive influence on their demand within the used car segment.\u00a0\n\n\nBased on Carsome\u2019s internal data, the depreciation for a five-year-old Perodua Myvi 1.5 AV is 33.44 percent or one-third of its original price. Hence, a new Perodua Myvi purchased at RM56,518 (excluding insurance) in 2015 can be resold at an average price of RM37,618 in 2019.\n\n\nIn fact, this car has a lower depreciation value compared to other Proton models in the market such as a Proton Iriz 1.6 Premium CVT, which was valued at RM59,731 in 2015 \u2013 this model later depreciated by 49.31 percent in 2019 to RM30,277.32.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n2. Honda City\n\n\nHonda Malaysia has maintained its \nnumber one position among the non-national car brands\n segment in Malaysia for six consecutive years. The Honda City model recorded the highest sales at roughly 34 percent. This new model, which comes with an attractive price package, received an encouraging response among buyers. Similar to the Perodua Myvi, this car also recorded a low depreciation rate of less than 50 percent in five years.\n\n\nAccording to Carsome Insight 2020, Honda City recorded an average resale value of between 68 and 75 percent of the original price of a new Honda City. With that, you will not suffer from major losses if you decide to sell or trade-in your old Honda City car.\n\n\n\n\n3. Nissan Grand Livina\n\n\nNissan Grand Livina recorded an average depreciation rate of 35 percent in the first three years of ownership. This low depreciation rate is \u2013 to some extent \u2013 influenced by the fuel consumption factor which is arguably low for such a large-sized car. Based on a Carsome survey, a used 2015 Grand Livina model can be purchased for around RM50,800 \u2013 which stems from a depreciation of about 49 percent from its original value (RM99,800).\n\n\nThe Nissan Grand Livina can be categorized as one of the best compact MPV models sold in Malaysia with a spacious interior that can accommodate seven people at a time, thus making a great vehicle for long-distance travel.\n\n\n\n\n4. Toyota Vios\n\n\nThe Toyota Vios is also arguably among the most used car models on the road. This compact sedan model has a variety of features and advantages that are comparable to its competitors from the same category, as well as class such as Honda City, Nissan Almera, and many more.\u00a0\n\n\nAccording to data from Carsome Insight, Toyota Vios recorded an average depreciation rate of around 35 percent in the first three years of ownership. For comparison, Vios (2016) recorded an average resale value \n\u200b\u200b\nof around 76 percent compared to the original price for three-year-old cars.\n\n\nIn fact, the Toyota Vios (2014) also recorded an average resale value of around 68 percent for a five-year-old car. This high resale value is indirectly driven by consumer trust in Toyota\u2019s brand, as well as the safety aspects offered by this model.\n\n\n\n\n5. Proton Saga\n\n\nProton car models recorded a depreciation rate of around 35 percent for the first three years of ownership. Based on data from Carsome Insights, Proton Saga retained 71 percent of its original value over a three-year period, which was better than the Perodua Myvi that only retained 65 percent of its original value over the same period.\u00a0\n\n\nHowever, the Proton Saga was only able to retain about 47 percent of its original value compared to the Perodua Myvi (53 percent of its original value) after five years. This situation is could potentially be influenced by external factors including the warranty (Saga offers a longer warranty than the Myvi) and safety features (Saga BLM/FLX is not equipped with stability control) offered by previous models. However, as noted above, the depreciation rate or resale value of a car can change depending on the type of model (latest model, enhanced safety features, and so on).\n\n\n\n\n6. Mercedes-Benz C-Class\n\n\nLuxury brands generally have a high car market value and lower depreciation rates than other brands. In Malaysia, Mercedes-Benz models have a higher resale value than other luxury brands such as BMW, Volvo, or Lexus.\u00a0\n\n\nMercedes-Benz C-Class is one of the bestselling models in Malaysia from the brand itself and recorded an average depreciation rate of around 40 percent in the first three years of ownership.\n\n\n\n\n7. BMW 3 Series\n\n\nIn addition to Mercedes-Benz, BMW is also one of the famous manufacturers of luxury cars. The driving quality, safety features, and luxurious elements fueled its high demand, especially in the used car market. On average, BMW models recorded an estimated depreciation rate of around 35 percent in the first three years of ownership.\n\n\nAs for the BMW 3 Series model, it recorded an estimated depreciation of up to 40 percent over the same period. This low depreciation rate is indirectly influenced by the factors of the brand, quality, comfort, and safety aspects offered by BMW.\n\n\nTips to Minimize the Depreciation Rate of a Car\n\n\nUnfortunately, you can\u2019t run away from the value of your car depreciating. However, here are some steps you can take to minimize and slow down the depreciation rate if you plan to sell your car.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKeep mileage readings low.\n\n\nFocus on the care aspect. Repair immediately if there is any damage.\n\n\nBuy a used car to avoid significant depreciation rates.\n\n\nAvoid excessive modifications such as spoilers, larger tires, flared wheel arches, etc.\n\n\nSell \n\u200b\u200b\nthe car at the right time before the brand introduces a facelift or upgraded model.\n\n\nChoose a \npopular car color\n.\u00a0 While you might like some bright colors for your car, that might not appeal to general buyers when you sell.\n\n\nDo a survey before buying a new car. Identify depreciation rates for similar models from the brand.\n\n\nMake the best choice when buying a car. A selection of metallic colored paint and leather elements is best for executive cars.\n\n\nRegular car maintenance.\u00a0 Keep a history of scheduled maintenance to give peace-of-mind to potential buyers.\n\n\n\n\nAlso read\n \u2013 \n1\n0 Tips to buy a Used Car\n \nand \nBest Time to Buy and Sell a Used Car\n\n\nFor any other used car services and news, do check Carsome out!

Mitos ini bahkan diuji oleh \nMythBusters\n oleh\n Discovery Channel \ndan telah dibukti sebagai palsu.\n\n\nWalaupun terdapat bukti saintifik mengenai hal ini, penggunaan telefon bimbit masih dilarang di stesen-stesen minyak di negara kita. Oleh itu, kita perlulah sentiasa peka dan patuh dengan undang-undang yang telah ditetapkan.\n\n\nMitos #2 \u2013 Panaskan Enjin Kereta Sebelum Memulakan Perjalanan\n\n\nMitos:\n Memandu kereta anda tanpa memanaskan enjin terlebih dahulu akan merosakkan enjin.\n\n\n\n\nKebenaran:\n Mitos ini sebahagiannya benar. Karburator pada kereta yang lebih lama perlu dipanaskan terlebih dahulu agar dapat berfungsi dengan baik. Tanpa ini, karburator tidak boleh mencapai tahap campuran udara dan bahan bakar yang tepat di dalam enjin, mengakibatkan enjin terhenti.\u00a0\n\n\nNamun, kereta moden kini dengan \nfuel injection\n elektronik tidak memerlukan pemanasan terlebih dahulu. Sekiranya anda perlu memanaskan enjin, anda boleh memandu perlahan untuk seminit atau dua sebelum menaikkan kelajuan.\n\n\nMitos #3 \u2013 Meletakkan Gear Kepada \u2018Neutral\u2019 Semasa Berhenti di Lampu Isyarat\n\n\nMitos:\n Tindakan meletakkan gear ke neutral di setiap perhentian lampu isyarat akan menjejaskan transmisi.\n\n\n\n\nKebenaran:\n Malangnya, mitos ini tidak ada jawapan pasti. Tetapi pakar kereta seperti Jason Fenske dari saluran YouTube \nEngineering Explained \nmengatakan bahawa tiada alasan untuk beralih ke neutral jika kereta tidak bergerak kerana ia tidak menjejaskan transmisi.\n\n\nSelain itu, artikel Joey Bernadez, Penyunting Teknikal Top Gear Filipina turut menyatakan bahawa beliau secara peribadi melakukan peralihan gear ke neutral sebagai tabiat. Tambah beliau lagi, tabiat ini sedikit sebanyak membantunya mempunyai kereta dengan had perbatuan melebihi 200,000km tanpa sebarang masalah.\n\n\nMitos #4 \u2013 Nilai Kenderaan dengan Status \ne-hailing\n Lebih Rendah\n\n\nMitos:\n Nilai jualan semula kereta \ne-hailing\n anda adalah lebih rendah berbanding kenderaan persendirian.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKebenaran:\n Sebenarnya tidak. Jika anda ingin\n\u00a0\nmenjual kereta lama\n anda kepada Carsome, nilai kenderaan anda bergantung kepada keadaan dan jarak perjalanannya seperti kenderaan persendirian lain. Walau bagaimanapun, anda akan diminta untuk menukar status kenderaan anda sebelum pemeriksaan Carsome. \nUntuk mengetahui dengan lebih lanjut, klik untuk \npanduan (dalam Bahasa Inggeris) langkah demi langkah sebelum \nmenjual kenderaan \ne-hailing\n anda kepada Carsome\n.\n\n", "Tags\nLifestyle", "Written by Carsome Editorial", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

This myth was even put to test by Discovery Channel\u2019s MythBusters and debunked as false.\n\n\nDespite scientific evidence proving this otherwise, the use of mobile phones is still prohibited at the station and you should follow the law.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWarming up your engine before driving\n\n\n\n\nThe myth:\n Driving your car without warming it up will damage the engine.\n\n\nThe truth:\n This myth is partially true. Carburetors in older cars need to warm up to work well. Without it, the carburetor won\u2019t be able to get the proper mix of air and fuel in the engine, resulting in the engine stalling.\u00a0\n\n\nHowever, modern cars now feature electronic fuel injection which does not require the wait. If you need to warm up your engine, drive off slowly for a minute or two before picking up speed.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nPutting your gear into neutral at a traffic light\n\n\n\n\nThe myth:\n Putting your gear into neutral at every traffic stop will increase wear and tear on the transmission.\n\n\nThe truth: \nUnfortunately, there isn\u2019t a definitive answer but experienced individuals like Jason Fenske from YouTube channel Engineering Explained have said that although there isn\u2019t much wear since the vehicle isn\u2019t moving, there really isn\u2019t any reason to shift to neutral at all. Comparably, an article written by Joey Bernadez, Technical Editor of Top Gear Philippines mentioned that he does it personally and has a car over 200,000km without any transmission issues.\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nYour car value is lower because it\u2019s an e-hailing vehicle\n\n\n\n\nThe myth:\n You will get a lower resale value for your e-hailing vehicle because it isn\u2019t a private vehicle.\n\n\nThe truth:\n No, you will not. The belief that you will get a lower price because it was previously used as an e-hailing vehicle is false.

With the monthly loan installments, maintenance costs, road tax, and insurance, it\u2019s easy to see how quickly the cost of owning a car can climb. Fortunately, the no claim discount (NCD), which is available to all car owners in Malaysia can help you save on your yearly car insurance premium. What\u2019s more, you can even transfer your NCD whenever you buy a new car, ensuring that you retain those savings.\n\n\nSo what exactly is an NCD and how do you transfer a car NCD in Malaysia? We\u2019ll discuss it further below.\n\n\n\n\nWhat Is a No Claim Discount (NCD)?\n\n\nNCD or a no claim discount, is a form of discount that is offered by insurance providers to you (the vehicle owner) if you haven\u2019t made any claims against your motor insurance policy in the past year. NCD is applied every time you renew your motor insurance, so the longer you go without claiming against your motor insurance, the more you save on your premium. This acts as an incentive to encourage \nsafe driving\n and indirectly helps to reduce the number of \nroad accidents\n.\n\n\nIn Malaysia, you can enjoy a maximum discount of up to 55 percent from your NCD if you don\u2019t claim against your insurance for six consecutive years and above. Here\u2019s how your NCD can be preserved and carried forward to the next year:\n\n\n\n\nNo claims have been made in the 12 months prior to the date of renewal of your motor insurance.\n\n\nNo accident claims have been made against your insurance policy by a third party in the past 12 months.\n\n\n\n\nHow to Calculate Your NCD Rate?\n\n\nThe NCD rate is set by Persatuan Insurans Am Malaysia (PIAM) and varies according to the type of vehicle. The different NCD categories in Malaysia are private cars, motorcycles, and commercial vehicles. The maximum discount obtainable is capped at 55 percent for cars and 25 percent for both motorcycles and commercial vehicles.

However, there are two conditions you need to fulfill before doing so.\n\n\n\n\nBoth vehicles must belong to the same owner:\n Both the old and new cars must be registered to your name and identity card. That means if you\u2019re buying a car or taking over a car from a family member, you have to change the ownership of the car at the Road Transport Department (JPJ) before transferring your NCD.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoth vehicles must be of the same type:\n You can only transfer NCD between vehicles of the same type, meaning from a private car to another car or from a motorcycle to another motorcycle. This is because the NCD rate varies between different vehicle types.\n\n\n\n\nSteps to Transfer Your NCD to a New Car in Malaysia\n\n\nTransferring your NCD to another car is actually an easy process. Here are the steps you have to follow to do it.\n\n\n\n\nPrepare the necessary documents including a copy of your MyKad and bank details.\n\n\nGo to the nearest branch of your car\u2019s insurance provider and fill up the form to transfer your NCD. You\u2019ll receive a copy of the form once your application has been approved.\n\n\nIf you have a remaining balance on your premium, you\u2019ll have to pay it before renewing your new car\u2019s insurance. You can usually make payments in cash or online.\n\n\nNext, you just need to renew the insurance for your new car and provide the necessary documents including the copy of the NCD transfer form mentioned in step 2.\n\n\nIf your insurance has expired, you can renew the insurance for your current/old car and reset its NCD to 0 percent. Then, present your old car\u2019s vehicle ownership certificate (VOC). Make sure it\u2019s the latest VOC which should display the highest NCD rate you have when renewing the insurance for your new car to transfer the NCD.\n\n\nDon\u2019t forget to double-check your new NCD rate and make sure all your information is accurately updated.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nHow to Claim Your 1-Year CARSOME Extended Warranty\n\n\nWhat Happens to Your NCD If You Get Involved in an Accident?\n\n\nIf you get into an accident and are at fault, you will get your NCD reset to 0 percent when you make a claim against your policy. However, getting involved in an accident won\u2019t necessarily reset your NCD as it depends on who is at fault and how the accident claims are settled. Here are some situations where being in an accident won\u2019t affect your current NCD.\n\n\n\n\nWhen you or the third party involved chooses to cover the repair costs on your own\n without claiming against your policy. This usually happens when the accident is minor and the repair cost is small. However, you can also choose to pay for the repairs out of pocket if the cost is lower than the savings you enjoy from your NCD. This is an option some drivers take especially if their basic insurance premium is high.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re involved in an accident and are not at fault\n. Once the police confirm that you\u2019re innocent after you make your police report, you can file a No-Fault Own Damage claim (NFOC) against the insurance provider of the third party involved.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you have additional coverage\n such as a windscreen cover, you can claim for a windscreen repair without it affecting your NCD. You can also get a \nspecial perils coverage\n which covers damage from floods, landslides, and other natural disasters.\n\n\n\n\nHow Much Can You Save with an NCD Transfer?\n\n\nThe amount you can save by doing a car NCD transfer depends on the value and insurance premiums of your cars. If you transfer the NCD from a lower-valued car to a higher-valued car, such as from a \nPerodua Myvi\n to a \nHonda Civic\n, you\u2019ll be able to save a good amount of money on your insurance premiums. Here\u2019s an estimated breakdown of what you\u2019d need to pay with and without doing an NCD transfer.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWithout Transferring Your NCD\n\n\nWith Transferring Your NCD\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInsurance premium of your old car (Perodua Myvi): RM800\n\n\nInsurance premium of your new car (Honda Civic): RM4,000\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Myvi: RM360 (RM800 \u2013 55% NCD)\n\n\nHonda City: RM4,000 (0%)\n\n\nPerodua Myvi: RM800 (0%)\n\n\nHonda City: RM1,800 (RM4,000 \u2013 55% NCD)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTotal premium: RM4,360\n\n\nTotal premium: RM2,600\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBased on the table above, you can save RM1,760 if you transfer the NCD from a Perodua Myvi to a Honda Civic. So, the next time you buy a car, make sure to transfer your NCD so you can enjoy better savings on your insurance premium.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nOther Things to Know About Your NCD\n\n\nIf you still have doubts about transferring your car NCD in Malaysia, here are the answers to some common NCD-related questions\n\n\n1. Can I transfer the NCD from my car to my motorcycle?\n\n\nNo, you can\u2019t transfer the NCD from one vehicle type to another.\n\n\n2. How much NCD do I have if I\u2019m buying a car for the first time?\n\n\nIf you\u2019re a first-time car buyer, you wouldn\u2019t have any NCD to your name. Therefore, your NCD rate will be 0 percent and will accumulate until you reach the maximum NCD of 55 percent, provided that you have not claimed against your insurance policy.\n\n\n3. Does my NCD expire? How long does it last?\n\n\nYour NCD won\u2019t expire if you renew your motor insurance every year and don\u2019t claim against your policy. However, if you skip renewing your motor insurance the next year, your NCD rate will drop one tier and continue dropping for every year that you skip your insurance renewal. For example, if you have a 55 percent NCD and skip renewing it next year, then the NCD will drop to 45 percent. If you don\u2019t renew your motor insurance, your NCD will continue to decrease until it eventually reaches 0 percent after about five years.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More:\n \nWhat to Do in a Car Accident\n\n\nWe hope this article on how to transfer your NCD can help you when you get a new car in the future.

The vibrant colors of car paint not only highlights the exterior appearance and its aesthetic value, but it also reflects the owner\u2019s personality, as well as character.\u00a0\n\n\nAccording to experts, it is said the colors you choose say a lot about your physical, mental, and emotional state. Similarly, the colors you dislike mirror your weaknesses and vulnerabilities.\u00a0\n\n\nBut as with most car modifications, there are always rules and legalities. So, if you are looking to change up your car\u2019s body paint, here are the need-to-knows.\u00a0\n\n\nCan You Change Your Car Paint Color Freely?\n\n\nChanging your car\u2019s paint color is definitely not an offense in Malaysia. In fact, you can change your car paint at any time. Based on the Road Transport Department\u2019s (JPJ) website, modifications that involve minor changes or installation of additional equipment, such as accessories, do not require an application beforehand \u2013 however, this is subject to the fact that the identity of the vehicle remains unchanged and these modifications do not interfere with vehicle safety features.\n\n\nHowever, modifications to the car paint color must be approved and declared by JPJ in line with Section (12) of the Road Transport Act 1987 \u2013 Inspection of Motor Vehicles and Information to the Director General. Every change to a vehicle, including the car paint, has to be reported to the nearest JPJ office within seven days for the application to be approved.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nAccording to the Director of the Automotive Engineering Department, JPJ, Datuk IR. Haji Mohamad Dalib, any changes made to certain parts of the vehicle must be reported to JPJ within seven days after these modifications are made.\u00a0\n\n\nSo, what are the procedures to change your car paint color?\n\n\n\n\nDecide what color you intend for your car. If you choose to paint it in multiple colors, the dominant color or the one that covers 60 percent of the car body will be considered the primary color of your car.\n\n\n\u00a0Bring your newly painted car to your nearest JPJ office for inspection and declaration.\n\n\nYou need to fill in the JPJ K8 form (Notice of Change of Vehicle Details and Registered Owner) and submit it to the officer on duty.\n\n\nJPJ officers will then check the paint color on your car before approval is given. Your paint job will then be updated in the MySikap system.\n\n\n\n\nThe best part? No fee is charged for this procedure.\n\n\nimage source: \nJPJ\u2019s official Facebook\n\n\nThe Importance of Making Modifications to your Car Paint with the Approval of JPJ\n\n\nPursuant to Section (12) of the Road Transport Act 1987, every vehicle owner who changes the color of the car will be handed an Inspection Direction Notice or PG1. The notice is given so that the owner declares to JPJ on the car color change. JPJ usually does not issue a summon because the owner changes the color of a vehicle. However, summons is issued when the owner ignores the Inspection Direction Notice or PG1.\n\n\nFor example, in a roadblock situation, if a JPJ officer stops your car and finds out that the color of your car is not the same as the information stated in their system, the officer will issue an inspection instruction letter that will require you to head down to the nearest JPJ office and make a declaration of color change and further review. If you fail to do, a summon will be issued for default of the Inspection Direction Notice and not for the change of paint color.\n\n\nIs Private Car Body Wrap Considered Illegal?\n\n\nIn addition to changing the car paint color, many drivers choose to do a body wrap or embellish their car using special stickers. This method is not only simpler and easier, but it is also more effective as it protects the original paint color of the car. However, just like changing the color of car paint, the use of body wrap can also be an offense under the same category as car paint it if is not declared beforehand.\n\n\nWill Your Car Insurance Claim be Affected?\n\n\nWhen it comes to \ninsurance claims\n, there are no implications that can be associated with the color change of the vehicle. Nevertheless, differences between the registration record and the current condition of the car may be a source of dispute or complication during an insurance claim. For example: if your vehicle is involved in an accident and the insurer finds that the color of the car stated in the registration record is not the same as the current paint color, there are chances that the insurer will not cover the loss as stated in the claim.\n\n\nFor now, your car paint color change application and declaration can only be done at any JPJ offices. To make this process easier, you can download and pre-fill the Notice of Change of Vehicle Details and Registered Owner (\nJPJ K8\n) form on JPJ\u2019s official website to avoid wasting time at JPJ\u2019s counters. For more information on this, you can always visit JPJ\u2019s website to get additional information.\u00a0\n\n\nRead also\n: \nThe Most Popular Car Color in Malaysia based on Carsome Insight 2020\n\n\nFor any other used car services and news, do check Carsome out!

While you\u2019re cocooned comfortably within the cabin, the layers of paint are battling the elements of our harsh tropical climate that will diminish its gleaming finish if left unchecked.\n\n\nUV rays from the sunlight, acid rain, airborne pollutants, and bird droppings are some of the contaminants that could ruin the paint, leaving it oxidized, scratched, or stained. If you leave these contaminants on the paint for too long, the damage might be irreversible.\n\n\nFortunately, maintaining your car\u2019s paint doesn\u2019t require a lot of money or expensive coatings. Some elbow grease and basic tools will go a long way in ensuring your car\u2019s paint will look like it just rolled off the showroom floor.\n\n\n\n\nHere are five tips that won\u2019t break the bank to keep your vehicle as shiny as the day it was made.\n\n\n1. Wash Your Vehicle Regularly\n\n\nThis one kind of seems like a given but we\u2019ll gladly repeat it. Wash your vehicle on a regular basis, at least once a week. Even if it doesn\u2019t appear dirty, there are always tiny dirt particles and pollutants from acid rain on the paint surface.\n\n\nIf you allow it to sit on the paint for too long, it will result in the pollutants slowly eating away or tarnishing the clear coat layer on top causing your paint to look dull.\n\n\nFor example, on a hot day, the clear coat expands at a molecular level and the uric acid from bird droppings will seep in. At night, the clear coat shrinks slightly and effectively seals the droppings inside. This will become corrosive to the paint.\n\n\nMost experts agree washing your car once a week is enough to keep the clear coat and paint surface clean of contaminants. If you do find bird droppings on your car but can\u2019t find the time to give it a wash, the best thing you can do is just remove the bird droppings first using a damp microfiber cloth and some car shampoo. Don\u2019t allow it to solidify on the paint for too long.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nA Guide to the Easiest Car Colors to Maintain\n\n\n2. Use the Right Method When Washing\n\n\nRemember, there\u2019s a right method in washing your car. Yes, that does sound like we\u2019re asking you to wash your vehicle yourself. After all, if you want something done correctly, you have to do it yourself, right?\n\n\nAlthough sending it to the neighborhood car wash is the easy way out, they tend to be a little harsh on the paint and the cloths are also of unknown provenance. If the cloths aren\u2019t cleaned properly, the debris stuck to them will cause more damage to the paint as they wipe over it.\n\n\nAn easy way to avoid this; and one that most cheap car wash businesses don\u2019t adhere to, is to always have the 2-bucket system. One bucket will hold the car shampoo and the other will be for rinsing the car.\n\n\nThat way, you can avoid transferring any debris into the rinsing bucket, keeping the water clean for when you rinse away the soap and debris on your car.\n\n\n\n\n3. Use the Right Products/Tools\n\n\nOnce your car\u2019s paint is damaged, it could cost quite a sum to restore it. A little initial investment will go a long way in maintaining the paint in the long run. With that in mind, always remember to use the right car cleaning products and tools when going about it.\n\n\nSome people might say you can use everyday household cleaning products such as dishwashing detergent to clean your vehicle. However, that is not true. Do not, under any circumstances, attempt this on your car\u2019s paint.\n\n\nDishwashing liquids contain harsh chemicals and strong concentrations of sodium that will harm the paint and could even cause it to chip if used all the time. Car shampoos on the other hand are specially formulated to gently clean your car and leave a very thin layer of lubrication that acts as an additional layer of protection.\n\n\nInvest in some decent car shampoo. It\u2019s not necessary to splurge on the most expensive one because on a fundamental level, most car shampoos perform the exact same function. We would, however, recommend getting one from a reputable brand and not those that come in recycled mineral water bottles sold online.\n\n\nTo go with the car shampoo, ensure you use microfiber cloths instead of regular rags. The rags can harden over time and scratch the surface more than clean it.\n\n\nRead More:\n Wrap VS Paint: A Guide to Refresh Your Car\u2019s Looks\n\n\n4. Apply a Layer of Car Wax Every 3 Months\n\n\nCar wax is a simple method to add a layer of protection over the paint. Although not as durable as ceramic coatings, wax is much easier to apply and is friendlier on the wallet too. Coatings form chemical bonds that are more resistant to heat, UV rays and environmental contaminants. Wax doesn\u2019t but still provides an extra layer of protection.\n\n\nFurthermore, wax will create a hydrophobic surface over the paint that acts to repel water. This will prevent acidic rain droplets from sticking to the paint and corroding the surface.\n\n\nLastly, wax also gives paint that irresistible sheen. If you ever noticed a vehicle having a wet, glossy finish, wax is probably the reason. In fact, a high-quality wax can even add some shine back to slightly faded paint jobs, making it look new.\n\n\nTherefore, applying a good layer of wax every 3 months should go a long way in keeping the paint looking new and you can even do it yourself.\n\n\n\n\n5. \nAvoid Parking under Direct Sunlight\n\n\nNow, we understand this is easier said than done for most people but if you do have the opportunity to park in a shaded area or out of direct sunlight, you will be doing a huge favor to your car\u2019s paint.\n\n\nNot only do UV rays from the sun damage the paint but it can also lead to discoloration of leather bits and turn plastic trims brittle. So, if you can find a covered parking spot, we highly recommend you make the most of it.\n\n\nIf you can\u2019t find a shaded parking spot, the next best move is to invest in a car cover and wrap up the car if it\u2019ll be parked under the sun for long periods of time. If that\u2019s too much effort, you can just use a sunshade to at the very least protect the interior.\n\n\nNow all these steps are meant to keep your vehicle\u2019s shiny paint continuously gleaming for years and rest assured, if your vehicle is CARSOME Certified, it\u2019s undergone extensive detailing at the expert hands of the CARSOME Certified Lab to bring out the glossy finish.\n\n\nAt the CARSOME Certified Lab, all vehicles will have dents or paint imperfections refurbished just like the manufacturer would. That means proper surface preparation and OEM paints for a factory-like finish.\n\n\nEverything is finished with a detailed wash for a pristine surface before delivery.\n\n\nBuy CARSOME Certified for Peace of Mind\n\n\nHere at CARSOME, we believe in creating an end-to-end buying journey to eliminate the concerns common in a traditional used car buying experience. \nCARSOME Certified\n is the new standard of buying pre-owned cars backed up by our \n175-point inspection\n together with our \nCARSOME Certified Refurbishment Process\n.

This set of numbers/alphabets might just be something that identifies your car but for some, their number plate brings real significance. Whatever it means to you, every car in Malaysia must have one.\n\n\nWhile the main reason for car plate numbers is to identify cars, car plate numbers are seen as a sign of status and symbol for those who would go to great lengths just to get the plate that they want. . Previously, people would have to depend on salesmen and runners to get their special vehicle registration numbers but now, to make things so much easier, you can simply buy these vehicle registration numbers manually at any JPJs or get it through their digital platform, MYSIKAP.\n\n\nFun Fact: The highest bidding recorded in Malaysia for one number is for the car plate number \u201cMalaysia 1\u201d which went up to RM 1, 111, 111. It even broke the previous record that was held by the number plate \u201cV1\u201d that was bid for RM 989,000.\n\n\nHere are three different ways you can get your preferred vehicle registration numbers.\n\n\n\n\n \u00a0 \n \nManually at JPJ \u2013 All you need to do is head on down to one of their many branches where you will be presented with a list of numbers that are currently on sale. Unique numbers still need to go through a rendering process but for normal numbers, you can get it as easily on the spot.\n\n\n \u00a0 \n \nMYSIKAP Online Platform \u2013 The process is quite similar to number 1, but this process is all done online. All you need to do is identify the number that you like, then proceed to the payment page to process your purchase.

However, just as you want to keep your car running reliably, you should also take care of its paint job. Maintaining your car\u2019s paint job will not only prevent corrosion and help you catch \nscratches or dents\n, it will also help your car retain more of its value.\u00a0\n\n\nThere are two methods to maintain the shine of your car \u2013 using car wax or polish. But many people aren\u2019t aware of the differences between the two and don\u2019t know how to polish or wax a car. So if you want to learn about the benefits of car polish versus wax and how to preserve your car\u2019s shine, read on.\n\n\n\n\nCar Polish Versus Wax\n\n\nOver time, a car\u2019s paint job will develop marks, scratches, and become duller due to oxidization. To fix this, you\u2019ll need car polish which is a mildly abrasive compound. It works by removing a very thin layer of the paint and any imperfections on it. As the polish is gently massaged across the car\u2019s paint, it removes the imperfections and smoothens the paint, restoring its original sheen.\n\n\nCar wax, on the other hand, improves the appearance of your paint by applying a layer of wax that fills in surface scratches in the paint. It also adds an additional protective layer that further smoothens and protects your car\u2019s paint job. Besides protecting your car\u2019s paint from \nscratches\n, the wax also prevents fading due to heat, ultraviolet rays, and other irritants. And of course, it adds a nice shine to your car\u2019s surface. If you\u2019ve just polished your car, waxing it afterward will improve the shine and make it last longer. Essentially, car polish removes imperfections and creates a shiny surface while wax protects and smoothens the paint\u2019s surface.\n\n\nWhen to Use Car Polish or Wax\n\n\nBefore deciding if you should use car wax or polish, you need to evaluate the condition of your car\u2019s paint job. First, thoroughly wash and dry your car. Then, check the surface of the paint and feel for any rough spots or scratches. If you can see or feel scratches and bumps, you need to polish your car as the blemishes are most likely below the surface of the paint. If the paint is smooth, you can just apply some wax as per the product\u2019s instructions.\u00a0\n\n\nTo really enhance and preserve the shine of your car\u2019s paint, you should wash, polish, and wax your car regularly. It\u2019s advisable to wax your car once every three months to protect your paint. If you keep that up, polishing your car once or twice a year should be enough to keep your car scratch-free. While you can get great results when you use both car polish and wax on your car, there\u2019s no hard and fast rule that you have to use them together. You can always use one over the other depending on your needs. However, avoid polishing your car too often as it could strip away excess paint and ruin your car.\n\n\nRead: \nA Guide to the Easiest Car Colors to Maintain\n\n\nTypes of Car Wax\n\n\nOther than deciding between car polish or wax, you also have different types of waxes to consider. There are more types of car waxes compared to polishes, and they each have their own pros and cons. While all car waxes add an additional protective layer to your car\u2019s surface, with so many types of waxes on the market, it can be tricky to decide on the right one for you. To help you decide what\u2019s best for your needs, below are some of the most common types of car waxes and their benefits.\n\n\nPaste Wax\n\n\nPaste wax is the oldest form of car wax and is most popular among car enthusiasts, especially old-school ones. Compared to other forms, it creates a glossier, brighter finish when applied resulting in a look that\u2019s hard to obtain with other types of waxes. It\u2019s also very strong and provides excellent protection against UV rays, debris, some chemicals, and light scratches.\u00a0\n\n\nHowever, it requires more time and attention to detail when applying it, making it trickier to use if you\u2019re new to waxing your car. Also, paste wax doesn\u2019t last as long as liquid wax. It wears thin quicker, so you\u2019ll need to reapply it after a few weeks, typically every 8 to 12 weeks. Paste wax also tends to be slightly costlier than other types, especially if it has natural ingredients like Carnauba wax and natural oils.\n\n\nLiquid Wax\n\n\nLiquid wax is the most commonly used type of wax as its texture makes it easier to apply than a paste. It functions the same as paste wax but tends to last longer \u2013 around 6 to 12 months. It doesn\u2019t provide the same level of protection as paste wax and doesn\u2019t give the same brilliant shine, but it\u2019s more than enough for most car owners. Liquid wax is perfect for those who want a wax that\u2019s easy to handle and lasts long. However, some liquid waxes can have a higher amount of abrasive particles, so be sure to read the label before buying one.\n\n\nSpray Wax\n\n\nSpray wax is designed to be a supplementary product to paste and liquid wax. Since you only need to spray it on your car and wipe it off, it takes significantly less time to apply than the other types. Spray wax can intensify the shine on a car that already has a high-quality finish, making it a great tool to touch up your car\u2019s paint finish before you wax your car with a paste or liquid wax again. While it offers some protection from the elements and is a lot easier to apply, it doesn\u2019t last as long as paste or liquid wax.\n\n\n2-in-1 Wash and Wax\n\n\nA 2-in-1 wash and wax combines a car shampoo and wax in one product, making it a good solution for car owners who don\u2019t have the time to wash, polish, and wax their car. It doesn\u2019t provide the same level of protection as a standalone wax and doesn\u2019t last as long but it can still help your car look shiny and new. If you wash your car regularly with a wash and wax, you can still keep your car clean and give its paint job extra protection.\n\n\n\n\nEasy Steps to Polish and Wax Your Car\n\n\nIf you\u2019ve always wondered how to polish or wax your car, here are the steps you should follow.\n\n\n\n\nFirstly, wash your car with water and car shampoo. Be sure to dry the car thoroughly with a soft dry cloth so as not to leave water spots. Whether you wash, polish, or wax your car, always do it in the shade or when it\u2019s not hot outside. When you wash your car under the sun or when it\u2019s hot, it can cause water spots to form on your car after it dries which will result in a dull paint finish after you polish it.\n\n\nAfter you wash your car, it\u2019s time to polish it. Put the polish on a suitable pad and apply it onto your car following the product\u2019s instructions. Always apply the polish panel-by-panel in a circular motion. You can polish your car by hand, though using a machine will take less time and effort.\n\n\nPolish the surface until the polishing compound disappears, leaving only the shiny paint behind. You can then move on and continue polishing the next area. Remember to stop polishing when the polish has disappeared as you may dull the finish if you continue polishing the already shiny paint.\n\n\nAfter polishing, it\u2019s best to wax your car to protect the finish and give it some extra shine. However, before you continue, you need to wash and rinse your car to remove any excess polishing compound that\u2019s left behind.\n\n\nAfter washing and drying your car, you can start waxing it. Put some wax on the pad or sponge that it came with and apply it to your car in a circular motion.\u00a0\n\n\nApply the wax to the whole car, one area at a time. Unlike with polish, you need to let the wax dry before buffing it off. Once it\u2019s dried, buff it off with a clean microfiber towel. Your car will now have a fantastic shine that can last for months.\n\n\n\n\nWe hope now you understand the differences between polish vs wax, and when to use them. You can use either one of them when you need to, but remember to use both polish and wax on your car every few months for the best results.\u00a0\nIf you\u2019re \nlooking for a used car\n in good condition or plan to \nsell your own\n, check out CARSOME.

You get the approval from the author under the terms the original author gets a cut of the marks gained in your homework goes into their overall grade. While we urge people not to try this in schools, this is a simple anecdote about how auto manufacturers like Proton and Perodua pulled off car rebadging. Take the all-new Toyota Veloz/Perodua Alza review from Carlist for example, which are both produced and sold locally based on the Daihatsu Xenia.\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhzhEq5UERs\n\n\nOfficially known as badge engineering or in layman\u2019s terms, car rebadging is when an auto manufacturer resells a car built by another company with a new badge under the promise of a cut of the sale. Often, these cars are not 100% badge and paste. They usually differ from a slight alteration in design or vary in specs. The closest examples we have in Malaysia are our local Proton and Perodua cars which were birthed from a joint development with Mitsubishi and Toyota/Daihatsu. Why do these companies simply rebadge someone else\u2019s car instead of building one from the ground up?\n\n\nRead More: \nA Brief History of Malaysia\u2019s Largest Automaker\n\n\nCar Rebadging Saves Cost on Development\u00a0\n\n\nMaking \nchar kuey tiow\n at home for a party is a tough and messy job. But if you order it from a hawker\u2019s catering services and take the credit, it makes all the difference. Researching and Developing (R&D) a brand-new engine and platform takes up a lot of effort, even more so for an aspiring car brand. Rebadging someone else\u2019s car while offering a cut of sales or via licensing, however, minimizes the risk of failure and loss of profits. In recent years some manufacturers have even joined hands in R&D-ing a new car from the ground up together as a shared platform like the Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ twins.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xvw0XOooC5E\n\n\nBefore we\u2019re quick to cast our judgment saying manufacturers are getting lazier these days, we need to understand that researching and building a car from the ground up is no easy feat for any auto manufacturer. It is also the fastest way for a young player in the auto industry to get a jumpstart to gain experience. Even if it\u2019s possible, the end product would be expensive for the average consumer these days like \nMazda\n which now positions its cars as a luxury brand. Mercedes Benz spends \n7.7 billion Euros\n on their R&D department in 2021, and that\u2019s just one of the many departments the German marque runs. What about manufacturing, labor, and other \noverhead costs\n? Rebadging saves costs for brands and the hassle of developing a car from the ground up.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nThe History of Proton\n\n\nMarket Localisation/Regional Brands\n\n\nAnother reason why auto manufacturers do car rebadging is due to market localization or selling under regional brands. Certain car brands are not widely available in other countries for a myriad of reasons like how most Mitsubishi cars were sold under Proton as a joint venture back in 1985. Daihatsu formed another joint venture with Perodua which gave them the sole rights to manufacture their cars on Malaysian soil with a new badge as Myvi, Axia, etc. Only Daihatsu\u2019s trucks and vans are sold here.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe Iconic Proton Saga as we know it.\n\n\n\n\nThe 4th generation Mitsubishi Mirage/Lancer Fiore which the Saga was based on\n\n\nTo avoid confusion and product differentiation, car brands will usually have a slight alteration to the design and specifications of the car depending on market localization. A quick instance is the Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ twins. Both cars are identically similar in terms of chassis, engine, and specification. But the key difference aside from the badges is the front grille design. The Toyota sibling has an upwards-facing trapezoid design while the Subaru has it rotated 180 degrees.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nToyota GT86. Note the trapezoid design on the front grille.\n\n\n\n\nSubaru BRZ. The front grille is rotated by 180 degrees on the other Toyobaru twin.\u00a0\n\n\nCloser to home, we have the \nToyota Veloz/Perodua Alza, both\n models produced locally here.\u00a0\nBoth can be easily identified via the front trapezoid grille design and other devils in the details.\n\n\n\n\nToyota Veloz\n\n\n\n\n2nd Generation Perodua Alza\n\n\nBut\u2026If Everyone Rebadges Their Cars, There Will Be No More Unique Cars Out There\n\n\nIf you are familiar with the fifth generation A90 Toyota Supra, it was met with mixed reactions, notably being a rebadged BMW Z4 from chassis to engine. Critics were met with a conflict of interest either praising it or dismissing it due to the fact it was a lazy move by Toyota\u2019s attempt to resurrect the iconic Supra lineup.\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oC8cvUb0kI\n\n\nCloser to home, Proton\u2019s new lineup of X50, X70, and recently, the X90 are just rebadged Geely cars. If more manufacturers just keep rebadging their cars, will there be anything unique anymore? Innovation would be dead by then.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nProton X50 in Malaysia\n\n\n\n\nGeely Binyue in China, which our Proton X50 is based on.\n\n\nRead More: \nDon\u2019t Know What Car to Choose? Here Are All the Brands We Have In Carsome\u2019s Inventory!\n\n\nTarnished Brand Image\n\n\nOnce upon a time in Italy, there was this little Italian auto manufacturer that made sports cars specifically for off-road rallying in the 1980s. This little brand is what rally enthusiasts know as Lancia. The Italian auto company had an incredible streak of line-ups designed to conquer the dirt roads during the golden era of rallying with the Lancia Stratos, Delta Integrale, and the 037. Bear in mind, these cars are not mass-produced vehicles available to the masses modified for rallying unlike a majority of their competitors; they were all designed from scratch. 10 victories and 45 seasons later, the Italian car manufacturer has decided the best course of action for the modern day is to just\u2026rebadge Chrysler cars and sell them for their entire lineup?\n\n\n\n\nLancia at its peak. Top left to right clockwise: Lancia Stratos, Delta HF Integrale, 037, and S4.\n\n\n\n\nLancia Grand Voyager today, which is a rebadge of the Chrysler Grand Voyager.\u00a0\n\n\nWhatever Lancia\u2019s corporate strategy was to adapt to the modern era is \nflopping hard\n like fish out of the water. What was once a motorsport powerhouse has been reduced to a former shell of itself living in the shadow of Chrysler/Stellantis cars. Lancia\u2019s poor fate serves as a dreadful lesson to all auto manufacturers about what happens when you don\u2019t innovate, it tarnishes your entire company\u2019s image. Today, Lancia cars are just barely getting by, with all their lineups immediately forgotten after an announcement of a new car. You won\u2019t be surprised to hear people ask \u2013 Lancia is still around?\u00a0\n\n\nEverything, Everywhere, All Recalled At Once\n\n\nAlthough rare, another downside of rebadging is if there is one fault caused by the original manufacturer, any models from the original manufacturer will be equally recalled back together. One notable incident happened in \nMalaysia\n with the \nProton Inspira\n, which is based on the 9th-generation Mitsubishi Lancer. The Lancer had to be recalled by the Japanese conglomerate due to a defect in the right-turn indicator switches with 20,300 affected units on Malaysian shores. Or another case in the United States where the 5th generation Toyota Supra was \nrecalled by BMW\n due to a failure in the brake assistance software. Poetic right?\n\n\nRead More: \nBuying a New Car? Here Are Some Mistakes You Should Avoid!\n\n\nThere is no perfect vehicle in this world. Even some of the most reliable or cost-efficient vehicles out there will eventually have an error or a lingering problem from the manufacturer.

Is it possible to \nreturn the car\n you bought?\n\n\nReturning Your Car: Can You Do It?\n\n\nGenerally, in Malaysia it is not possible to return your car after purchasing it from a dealership. After you\u2019ve signed the purchase agreement and the loan contract, there are currently no laws in Malaysia that legally binds the dealer to issue you with an exchange if you change your mind about the car you bought.\n\n\nBut depending on the dealer\u2019s policy, some dealers like CARSOME offer consumers a money-back guarantee for the car they bought to provide their customers with peace of mind.\n\n\nRead more:\n \n7 Car-Buying Tips to Score the Right Car for You\n\n\nCARSOME\u2019s 5-Day Money-Back Guarantee\n\n\nEvery CARSOME Certified car is eligible for the five-day money-back guarantee, which means if you change your mind about your car purchase, you can return the car to us within five days for a refund, with no questions asked!\n\n\n\n\nThe five-day money-back guarantee only applies if the car:\n\n\n\n\nHas not been modified or altered: \nThere should be no modifications made to the car\u2019s interior and exterior, everything should be in the same condition as when you received it. All the relevant original documents should be returned as well.\n\n\nHas traveled no more than 300km: \nThe travel distance of the car must be less than 300km.\n\n\nIs free from fines and summons: \nAny parking fees, traffic fines, or summonses that have been imposed to the customer within their five days of ownership must be paid by the customer before the car is returned.\n\n\nHas not been resold or transferred to someone else: \nThe owner of the car must be the same person who bought the car from CARSOME.\n\n\nIs returned within five days from the delivery date: \nIf you change your mind about your purchase, you have five days to return the car in order to get a refund.\n\n\n\n\nHow to Get a Car That\u2019s Right for You\n\n\nThere are dozens of car brands and hundreds of car models available to choose from so it may be a challenge to find one that\u2019s right for you. You might fall in love with a car at the first look, but after experiencing the car for a while, it may not bring the excitement that you expected from the driving experience.\u00a0\n\n\nHere are some tips to help you find a car that will suit your every need and prevent you from ending up in a situation where you may feel the need to return the car.\n\n\nRead more: \nFind the Right Car for You: Here Are 3 Questions to Consider\n\n\nKnow What You\u2019re Looking For\n\n\nBuying a car is not just about personal preference, you also need to consider if the car you\u2019re buying is suitable for your current and future needs. By comparing what you want and what you need in a car, you\u2019ll be able to narrow down your choice to a few makes and models, instead of going through every car available in the market.\n\n\nOn top of that, this also helps you determine your budget and how much you can spend on the car. Once you\u2019ve decided on the make and model you\u2019re interested in, you can start figuring out how much you need to prepare for down payment and estimate how much monthly installment you can afford.\n\n\nRemember to Test Drive\n\n\nIt is important to get behind the wheels of the car you\u2019re planning to purchase. This helps you get a feel of how the car drives, find out if the car is comfortable for you, and to see if the features of the car suits your driving needs.\n\n\n\n\nMost people tend to overlook the importance of a test drive but it is the only time where you can thoroughly check out the car and bond with it before you buy it. Don\u2019t skip the test drive if you want to make sure the car you\u2019re buying is safe, comfortable, and reliable for you.\n\n\nRead more:\n \nDo Not Test Drive a Car Without Reading This First!\n\n\nGet the Extended Warranty\n\n\nReliability is key when it comes to cars. If your car is protected, you can rest assured that you are making a reliable purchase. This is why it is important to invest in an extended warranty from the manufacturer if you have the budget to do so for your car.\n\n\nPurchasing an extended warranty for your car will help you save significantly when it comes to repairs in the future, especially if the repairs involve a major component. Another advantage of having an extended warranty is that it will help boost your car\u2019s resale value when you\u2019re trying to sell it in the future.\n\n\nRead more: \nHow to Buy a Used Car \u2013 10 Tips You Should Follow\n\n\nMake It CARSOME for Peace of Mind\n\n\nFinding a quality car that fits your needs is as easy as browsing our selection online via carsome.my or on our mobile application.

Think outside the Box with a Roof Box", "By\n \nAmarnath", "13/01/2023", "\n\n\n\n\n", "Modern cars come with plenty of boot space and a million cubby holes, meaning the average motorist and their occupants shouldn\u2019t have an issue finding a spot to store anything and the kitchen sink.\n\n\nHowever, if the need to increase storage space arises, you don\u2019t necessarily have to go purchase a larger car\u2026 unless of course you need extra space for humans.\n\n\nA car roof cargo box is a simple and easy way to boost the amount of storage space in your car. Almost any car can be fitted with one. However, before you run over to the \naccessory shop\n and throw your money on a roof box, it\u2019s probably wise to take into consideration the pros and cons of fitting one.\n\n\n\n\nAn important thing to take note of would be the factory-fitment of mounting points for a roof rack. Some cars are equipped with it and some aren\u2019t. It\u2019s not a deal breaker by any means, just that it determines the approach in getting the roof box fitted.\n\n\nIf your car has mounting points for a roof rack, the process of installing everything becomes a lot easier. You mount the roof rack and fit the roof box to it.\n\n\nHowever, if your car doesn\u2019t have mounting points for a roof rack, you\u2019ll need to get roof bars that clamp onto the door frame and the roof box mounts to that instead.\n\n\nRegardless of the method, always ensure that your car\u2019s roof rack and roof box are securely fastened with periodical checks to make certain nothing has loosened over time.\n\n\nRead More: \nCar Camping in Malaysia: Essential Supplies & Top Camping Spots to Visit\n\n\nWeight & Speed Limitations\n\n\nAnother cardinal factor to consider if you fit a roof box is the weight limit of your car\u2019s roof as well as the limited maximum speed.\n\n\nFirstly, each and every car has a factory-rated weight limit for the roof. You can\u2019t just throw everything and the kitchen sink on top of it without knowing the limit.\n\n\nThis information can be found in the owner\u2019s manual. If the manual in your car is missing, the info should be easily available online. For example, a 2020 \nHonda CR-V\n has a roof weight limit of 75 kg. Bear in mind that this number also includes the weight of the roof rack and roof box as well.\n\n\nIn general, most cars have a roof weight limit of around 60-80 kg but it\u2019s best to consult the owner\u2019s manual to be absolutely certain. As a best practice, store heavy items in the car\u2019s boot. The roof box is best for large but light items.\n\n\nNext up are the limitations in speed. Fitting a roof box will lower the car\u2019s aerodynamic efficiency and add a lot more surface area. This means your top speed will be limited but fret not as you\u2019ll still be able to hit highway speeds. Just avoid going beyond it to be cautious.\n\n\n\n\nPros of a Car Roof Box\n\n\n1. Extra Cargo Space without the Additional Footprint\n\n\nIn the case of fitting a roof box, you essentially get more cargo storage area without having to get a larger car. Furthermore, the need for extra cargo space usually crops up a handful of times a year, such as during \nbalik kampung\n trips. Hence, there isn\u2019t a need for a large vehicle all the time.\n\n\nThe roof box gives you the extra cargo space but within the footprint of a much smaller car. Additionally, it\u2019s also easily removable should you decide not to leave it there all the time.\n\n\n2. Better Weight Distribution\n\n\nIn other parts of the world, you might notice that smaller trailers are a common sight to increase cargo space. However, not only is it inconvenient when it comes to parking, it also puts a lot more load on the rear tires and suspension.\n\n\nA roof box might increase the center of gravity but it retains the weight distribution between the A-, B-, and C-pillars within the axles. This translates into much more predictable handling on the road.\n\n\n\n\nCons of a Car Roof Box\n\n\n1. Increased Fuel Consumption\n\n\nWhile some modern roof boxes are designed to be pretty streamlined and not be such an aero barrier, it\u2019s still increasing the frontal surface area of your car rather significantly.\n\n\nThis will mean a decrease in aerodynamic efficiency that should see your fuel consumption go up. In this case, if you don\u2019t have need for a roof box all the time, it might make sense to remove it and \nsave some fuel\n.\n\n\n2. Raised Height\n\n\nApart from the aforementioned elevated center of gravity, a roof box will also physically raise the height of your car. This might prevent you from entering multi-story parking lots or building basements.\n\n\nIf you live in a condo, it\u2019s a good idea to check the additional height a roof box will add before you fit it and discover that you can\u2019t park in your own home anymore.\n\n\nFurthermore, going through toll gantries will be an issue as well. You\u2019ll have to constantly remind yourself to take the heavy vehicle lane for lorries if your car and its roof box exceed the height limit at toll gantries.\n\n\nIf your car is too tall and you take the regular lane, you might end up completely destroying your roof box and all the cargo inside. That said, the embarrassment would still probably hurt more than the financial loss.\n\n\nRead More: \nWhy You Shouldn\u2019t Drive with an Almost Empty Fuel Tank\n\n\nConclusion\n\n\nA car cargo roof box can be the easiest solution if you find yourself needing extra cargo room once in a while. The simplicity of removing it also adds to the convenience as you don\u2019t have to drive around with it all the time.\n\n\nIf you do decide to go with one, remember to double-check the roof weight limit and the vehicle\u2019s new height once everything is installed.\n\n\nLooking for a quality pre-owned car?

Some time ago, the Takata Corporation issued a massive recall for all vehicles around the world that had their airbags installed due to \nnumerous fatalities\n involving faulty airbags. \nConsumerreports.org\n reported that as of 2021, 67 million vehicles worldwide have been greatly affected by this recall.\u00a0\n\n\nWith that being said if a driver or dealer is completely unaware of these recalls or intends to sell a faulty car to you, how do you know if the car safety features still work? How do you check for car safety features without a mechanic or tools involved? We\u2019ve got you covered in this article.\n\n\nRead More: \nBuying a Car? Here Are 17 Safety Features You Need\n\n\nStart with the visuals. Walk around the car.\u00a0\n\n\nModern cars have built-in sensors in the headlamps and grille. If the car you are buying has a forward collision sensor or adaptive cruise control, it will have a radar sensor built into the front. Take note if the bumper is replaced, misaligned, or has signs of damage \u2013 it usually means that the dealer has hastily replaced the bumpers on a car that has been in an accident and attempted to pass it off as accident-free. Moreover, those sensors would not work if the refurbishment process did not involve rewiring and reinstalling them back.\n\n\nBroken Seat Belt Buckle\n\n\nSeatbelts are prone to malfunctions too! The seat belt consists of three major components: The seat belt, the male buckle, and the female socket. This guide here won\u2019t be going too much into detail on how to check the car, but we do have some tricks to inspect the seat belt without using tools to disassemble it.\u00a0\n\n\nStart by yanking the seat belt hard. Put all your elbow grease and strength into pulling the seat belt like you\u2019re mimicking a car crash. A working seatbelt should tug itself sturdy and hard to \nprotect the occupant\n from a crash. Another way to check for a working seatbelt is to inspect the female socket. Unbeknownst to the previous owner or seller, dirt and debris can get caught inside the socket, or the socket is plain damaged and worn from years of use.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nDo the Airbags Still Work?\n\n\nAside from seatbelts, an airbag would determine whether you will be meeting your maker today if your car does get into an accident. To check\n if the airbags still work,\n insert the car keys and give the vehicle a half start. You should see all the indicator lights, including the airbag light.\u00a0\n\n\nIf the airbags are fine, the airbag indicator light should come on momentarily and go out. If the light stays on or flashes, there is a problem with the airbag system, it might be a sign of a faulty airbag system or it has been tampered with to pass on as mint.\u00a0\n\n\nWindshields\n\n\nDid you know your windshields are crucial for the deployment of your airbag? In the case of an accident, our vehicle windshields are designed to withstand impact. A windshield that is damaged or improperly installed may force the airbag out of the frame from a crash as \ndemonstrated here\n.\n\n\nFurthermore, grab a flashlight, and look around the glass. If the windshield has been cracked and repaired, you should be able to spot \nair bubbles, protrusions, or light cracks\n.\n An improperly installed or damaged windshield would have gaps on the side frames. Thus, we\u2019ve also \ncompiled a checklist\n to look out for in your windshield to see if it has been installed correctly:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWavy Patterns on the Windshield\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSource: \nAuto Glass Now Youtube Channel\n\n\nA properly installed windshield should be clear like water. Having wave-like patterns on your windshield means that there is light seeping through the sides of the windshield or poor-quality glass is used.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCar Cabin Sounds Like a Wind Tunnel\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour car cabin should not sound like it\u2019s going through a wind tunnel while driving at all \u2013 it should be kept to a bare minimum or barely audible. An improperly installed windshield would have all these problems, especially when driving at high speeds. It can be annoying to passengers and compromise a car safety system too.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nTop Four Signs of a Malfunctioning Car Air Conditioner\n\n\nTake the Car for a Test Drive\n\n\nThere really is no substitute for testing out the \nvehicle for yourself\n. As per customer service, you are usually entitled to have a test drive of the vehicle. If the car in question is modern in make, here\u2019s what to look out for in the car\u2019s safety features:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReverse Camera/Sensors\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis part is pretty much self-explanatory. Put the gear into Reverse and slowly back up to an obstacle. If the sensors still work, you should be able to hear a beeping noise or have a clear view of the vehicle\u2019s rear.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBlind-Spot Monitor/Assist/Sensor\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeveral high-end vehicles like Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW come with a high-end blind-spot monitor or sensor installed.\u00a0 If the vehicle has a blind-spot sensor built in by the manufacturer, there should be light blinking displayed in the side mirror. A lot of cars these days are armed to the teeth with sensors from bumper to rear. A shoddy dealer would have missed out on a spot or two.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheck Engine Light and Abnormalities\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe dreaded Check Engine Light. The bane of all mechanics and car owners alike. This little icon lighting up on your dashboard can \nmean many things\n.\n Ranging from catalytic converter failure, faulty alarm system, or simply one or more of the electronics inside the engine falling. Even a skilled mechanic cannot even find the root cause in a short period of time. Some shoddy dealers would outright try to disable the check engine light to hide any issues with the car.\n\n\nRead More: \nModern safety features you should have in your new car\n\n\nGet a detailed Book of the Vehicle\u2019s Service history\n\n\nAs the saying goes \u2013 The Devil\u2019s in the details. A well-kept and maintained car should have a proper paper trail that documents all its service history at its official service center. These service records or books are usually kept in the glove compartment, located in the front passenger seat as standard.\u00a0\n\n\nA vehicle that has been serviced on time and through authorized centers will be in better running condition than one that has been serviced infrequently. If a dealer cannot present a detailed service book, it\u2019s a sign you should run for the hills.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \n5 Signs Your Car is About to Break Down\n\n\nWorried About Shoddy Dealers?

Here Are 17 Safety Features You Need", "By\n \nHaziq Asyraf", "06/04/2022", "\n\n\n\n\n", "Spending extra money to add an advanced safety system when buying a car is a dilemma for many car buyers. But most people don\u2019t realize that these safety features are not just useful to help drivers park their car, but they also are for driver and passenger safety when driving.\n\n\nFor example, by utilizing various sensors and cameras, the car\u2019s safety system is able to detect potential collisions and alert the driver in order to prevent accidents. Car buyers should take the initiative to ensure their car has these crucial systems rather than just opting for the standard safety package.\n\n\n\n\nSo, here are 17.5 safety features that you should consider for your next car purchase.\n\n\n1. Airbags\n\n\nAnother key safety feature for cars is airbags. While they used to be just frontal airbags that pop out during a crash, these days most are advanced enough that they can detect the presence, weight, and seat position of the driver and front passenger to minimize injury chances when they pop out.\n\n\nNewer car models now also include side airbags and \u201cside curtain\u201d airbags that cover both front and rear side windows to shield car occupants when a side collision occurs, the car rolls over, and from flying debris.\n\n\n2. Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)\n\n\nABS prevents your tires from locking up and skidding when braking really hard. It does not function to shorten the stopping distance of the car, instead, it allows the driver to maintain steering control while braking so it can be maneuvered to safety.\n\n\n\n\nWhen the ABS system kicks in, it rapidly applies the brakes so you will feel a pulsing sensation on the pedal. Don\u2019t be alarmed when this happens, just push hard on the brake pedal and try as hard as you can to control the car.\n\n\n3. Forward Collision Warning (FCW)\n\n\nWith an FCW system, the car makes use of sensors to scan the road ahead of you. It will send a visual and audio alert from your dashboard if there is a hazard ahead.\n\n\nThis gives you time to brake and reduce your speed and/or swerve the car out of harm\u2019s way. However, the FCW system does apply brakes automatically for you.\n\n\n4. Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)\n\n\nAEB usually works together with FCW to sense objects ahead of you and send you an alert while driving. If you fail to brake in time, this system automatically slams on the brakes for you to prevent a collision and/or to reduce speed. Still, you shouldn\u2019t overly depend on this system to avoid a collision, it\u2019s always best to drive safely.\n\n\n5. Adaptive Headlights\n\n\nSome modern cars these days also include adaptive headlights, a fancy system that helps to better illuminate the roads when you\u2019re driving to provide better visibility. This system works by using bulbs that pivot according to the car\u2019s steering direction and sometimes speed. Some also include headlights that automatically switch between low and high beams in the presence of traffic to glare to other drivers.\n\n\n\n\n6. Brake Assist\n\n\nTo further cut down stopping distance when suddenly braking, some cars are equipped with a brake assist system. It applies maximum force to your brakes automatically when it detects drivers slamming their brake pedal.\n\n\n7. Traction Control\n\n\nTraction control is a great safety feature that is used to help your wheels gain more traction with the road when accelerating suddenly in a stopped or slowed position, up a slippery hill, or when driving in slippery road conditions. It makes driving smoother and helps drivers stay in control over their cars during rainy conditions.\n\n\n8. Electronic Stability Control (ESC)\n\n\nThe advanced version of the traction control system is the ESC system. Using a series of high-tech sensors, the system automatically helps the driver retain control of and stabilize the car when it veers off its intended path during hard steering maneuvers.\n\n\nIt was initially featured on luxury cars only but as automakers realize the importance of having one, all modern cars now have a form of ESC system equipped, with their own proprietary name. Although this system works very well in avoiding a rollover, you should always take note of the car\u2019s system limits. Push it too far and you will pay dearly.\n\n\n9. Adaptive Cruise Control\n\n\nStaying true to its futuristic and high-tech name, adaptive cruise control system use cameras, radar, sensors, or a combination of these systems to maintain a set distance between you and the car ahead while driving on the road.\n\n\nThis allows you to focus on what\u2019s happening around you while driving, instead of worrying about your speed and the space between your car and the car in front of you. A great feature to have, especially when you do a lot of driving in the city.\n\n\n10. Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)\n\n\nLKA\u00a0 system works just as the name suggests, it will send out an alert and gently try to steer you back into your lane if it detects that you are drifting out of it. However, it is only reliable when lane lines are clearly marked on the road.\n\n\n\n\n11. Lane Departure Warning (LDW)\n\n\nJust like the LKA system, the LDW system will send out a visual, audio, or vibration alert when it detects you steering out of your lane without your turn signals activated.\n\n\n12. Pedestrian Detection\n\n\nTaking the FCW system up a notch, the pedestrian detection system uses advanced sensors to alert the driver when it detects human movement in front of the car. For some cars, the system will also apply brakes automatically at a certain speed.\n\n\n\n\n13. Rear Cross Traffic Alert\n\n\nRear cross traffic alert system gives you an extra set of eyes at the back of your car that allows you to reverse your car safely. It uses sensors that will detect cars entering your path when reversing that will prompt you with a visual and audio warning so you can brake in time.\n\n\nSome modern cars are even capable of applying the brakes automatically when it detects an oncoming car. This is highly useful when reversing out of tight parking spaces.\n\n\n14. Back-Up Camera\n\n\nOne more safety feature that helps keep you safe when reversing is the back-up camera. They help you to see objects that are directly behind your car. The camera tends to be obscured by dirt so some high-end cars have a cleaning feature that is dedicated to the camera.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n15. Back-Up Warning\n\n\nUsually coupled with the back-up camera, the back-up warning system uses sensors to alert you if there are any objects directly behind your car when reversing. However, the sensors tend to be quite sensitive so it\u2019s always best to keep an eye out by using your rearview camera and mirror.\n\n\n16. Parking Sensors\n\n\nA very useful system that makes parking easier, the parking sensors alert you of an object\u2019s distance as you try to park your car. The faster the \u2018beep\u2019 sounds are, the closer you are to an object.\u00a0\n\n\n17.

They\u2019re now a lot faster, yet are more comfortable and safer. Did you know that many of the safety features in modern cars that we take for granted today were invented by women?\u00a0\n\n\nIn conjunction with International Women\u2019s Day, we take a look at the top car safety features created by visionary female inventors which have saved countless lives.\n\n\n\n\n1. Mechanical Turn & Brake Signals\n\n\nThe turn signals and brake lights are essential \nsafety features on our cars\n that we take for granted. Without them, we wouldn\u2019t know whether other drivers are turning or stopping, which could lead to major accidents. The first turn and brake signals were invented in 1914 by Florence Lawrence, a silent-film star.\u00a0\n\n\nWith her success in the film industry, she bought her own automobiles and developed a passion for them. This led her to work on improving the safety of vehicles at the time. After several years of experimenting, Lawrence created the first \u201cauto-signaling arms\u201d which would raise and lower a flag on the car\u2019s rear bumper to indicate which way the car would turn. She also implemented a \u201cstop\u201d sign that would pop up when using the brakes to indicate that the car was stopping.\n\n\nLawrence didn\u2019t patent her inventions, so not many people credit her for them. However, she certainly made a major contribution to the safety of modern cars.\n\n\nRead More: \nMalfunctions in Car Safety Features and How to Check Them Before It\u2019s Too Late!\n\n\n2. Brake Pads\n\n\nBertha Benz\n was the wife of Karl Benz, the automobile inventor and founder of Mercedes-Benz. Bertha was an investor in her husband\u2019s company but she was also arguably the one who sparked public interest in Karl\u2019s Patent-Motorwagen. To market the Motorwagen to the public as a means of personal transportation, she quietly took her two oldest sons on the morning of 5 August 1888 on a 100km drive.\n\n\nOn the drive, the vehicle\u2019s wooden brakes failed and Bertha asked a cobbler to install leather brake replacements, effectively creating the first replacement brake pads. Not only that, they successfully reached their destination in Pforzheim and managed to garner a lot of attention from the public on their road trip. Karl and Bertha Benz were both inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame, being the first married couple ever inducted.\n\n\nRead More: \nSquealing Brakes Are a Cry for Help. Bring It to a Stop before It\u2019s Too Late!\n\n\n\n\n3. Windshield Wipers\n\n\nMary Anderson, an American, was inspired to invent \nwindshield wipers\n after a trip to New York City. There, she noticed that tram drivers had to open their windows or stop the tram and get out to clear the frost on the windshield.\u00a0\n\n\nShe then went on to invent a windshield wiper that consisted of a hand-operated lever inside the vehicle that controlled a rubber blade on the outside of the windshield, much like what we have today. She was granted a patent for her invention in 1903, though this car safety feature was only commercially produced in 1913 when passenger cars were more common.\n\n\n4. Kevlar Tires\n\n\nMost of us are familiar with kevlar used in bulletproof vests. However, it was initially developed in the 1960s by \nStephanie Kwolek\n, a DuPont chemist tasked with developing a fuel-efficient alternative to steel reinforcements in car tires. Kevlar is now used in several safety features in modern cars including in kevlar-reinforced tires and brake pads. Thanks to her invention, Kwolek became the fourth woman to be inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 1995.\n\n\n5. Car Heater\n\n\nThis feature might not be as important in sunny, tropical Malaysia but the car heater is essential in four-season countries where it can be tough to travel in the winter. The car heater was invented in 1893 by Margaret Wilcox, a mechanical engineer. Her system simply directed air over the engine and this heated air is channeled into the cabin, providing warmth to its occupants. With this car safety feature, travelers of all ages from babies to the elderly can travel safely in the winter without falling sick or getting hypothermia.\n\n\nRead More: \nIs Your ABS Light On? Here\u2019s What\u2019s Causing It\n\n\n\n\n6. Wireless Transmission Technology\n\n\nThe first wireless technology was discovered by Austrian actress \nHedy Lamarr\n back in the Second World War. Lamarr worked with George Antheil to create radio frequency hopping that couldn\u2019t be jammed by Nazi forces. This system allowed the Allied forces to send secret codes that couldn\u2019t be detected by enemies.\n\n\nThis technology set the foundation for the Bluetooth, GPS (global positioning system), and Wi-Fi technology that we have today. Although patented in 1941, this technology only became widespread in the late 1990s when more devices were developed with wireless technology. Now, modern cars have built-in GPS that not only helps you navigate to your destination but also allows you to track and notify you of the location of your car.\n\n\nBonus: Female Crash Test Dummy\n\n\nYou might not know this, but until recently, most adult crash test dummies were modeled after adult males. These dummies measured 175cm tall and weighed 78kg, and while they have no doubt helped carmakers design safer vehicles, they didn\u2019t represent the build of the average woman. This meant that researchers couldn\u2019t gather enough data to accurately predict the injuries that most women might face in a car accident. In fact, a seat-belt-wearing woman in the front seat is \n17 percent more likely\n to be killed in a car crash than a seat-belt-wearing man.\n\n\nIn 2022, Dr. Astrid Linder and her team in Sweden designed a new crash test dummy to more accurately represent the average woman measuring 160cm tall and weighing 62kg. This replaces the old dummy which at 142cm and 48kg, is roughly the size of a 12-year-old girl. With this new crash dummy, carmakers can more accurately design their cars to be safer for more people.\n\n\nGet Peace of Mind with CARSOME Certified\n\n\nWe all know that safety is vital in a car. That\u2019s why each \nCARSOME Certified\n car is put through a strict 175-point inspection process and professionally refurbished. In fact, we ensure the tire tread depth and brake pad thickness of our cars are beyond international safety standards before listing them for sale.\u00a0\n\n\nFurthermore, all our cars come with a fixed price, no hidden fees, a five-day money-back guarantee, and a one-year warranty to give you additional peace of mind.\n\n\nSo what are you waiting for? \nVisit \nCARSOME\n to find the right car today or download our app from the \nGoogle Play Store\n or \nApple App Store\n.\n\n", "Devan S\nDevan believes written content is here to stay despite our depleting attention span and the rise of short videos.

The annual \nbalik kampung\n exodus where millions of Malaysians are looking forward to returning to their hometowns is soon to be happening. With that in mind, we might see a surge in road accidents this year as more people are beginning to ease up on COVID restrictions.\u00a0\n\n\nBeing prepared is essential for every long road trip. From driver to machine, both parties must be in tip-top condition before embarking on an endearing journey back home. Here\u2019s why you should send your car to a car service center before the long road trip to ensure a safer journey!\u00a0\n\n\nLong Distance Drives Stresses the Engine\n\n\nExcessive use without regular maintenance is going to \nstress the engine\n. An internal combustion engine (ICE) consists of hundreds of moving parts. Science has taught us that friction generates heat and heat generated from fuel combustion is going to strain your engine due to the metal expanding on a molecular level. Something\u2019s going to give without maintenance or with newer replacement parts or have its fluids topped up.\u00a0\n\n\nThere is no proper guideline or reference for how long a car can drive without maintenance. Generally, a car \ncan\n still keep going after its mileage has exceeded the \nrecommended mileage\n set by the manufacturer.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat would you need to keep an eye on during maintenance would be anything made out of rubber like \nhoses and wires\n. Additionally, your car needs to have its fluids topped up to keep it running smooth and lubricated like engine oil, brake, and transmission fluid, and coolant to protect the engine from overheating. Heat has always been the bane of every ICE engine which leads us to wear and tear of any critical parts.\u00a0\n\n\nMinimize Wear & Tear Parts\n\n\nWith regular servicing, your mechanic can tell you which parts are under stress and require a replacement. Ostensibly, your car can still run without replacing these intricate parts but the caveat is the risk of the engine breaking down or endangering your passengers. There\u2019s a huge misconception about car owners under the guise of \u2013 if the car can run, it\u2019s perfectly fine.\u00a0\n\n\nYou may think you save hundreds of Ringgit of service and maintenance costs by doing so. But when that car breaks down, replacing a whole engine will be much more expensive than any spare part! Sending your car for regular maintenance gives you a good track record on monitoring which part that might need a replacement in the future.\u00a0\n\n\nDon\u2019t be like this guy.\u00a0\n\n\nReduces Chances of Breaking Down While on The Road\n\n\nA car breaks down on the opposite side of the road\u2026\n\n\nHave you ever seen an accident or a car break down on the opposite lane, yet the lane that you\u2019re sitting in is the one that gets congested? Welcome to Malaysia. Nobody can explain why this phenomenon exists, but you can do your role in preventing traffic congestion on the other lane too!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u2026but why is the lane that you\u2019re in got jammed instead?\n\n\nA vehicle that gets sent to a car service center regularly can reduce the chances of getting your car broken down in the middle of traffic. Remember to swap out parts when necessary to prevent a breakdown during your annual road trip. Traffic is already bad as it is, let\u2019s do our part to not make it worse.\u00a0\n\n\nAs a rule of thumb, take your car for a short drive and a trip to the nearest car service center for a maintenance check. If your vehicle starts showing signs like overheating, smoky exhaust (on a petrol car), and a rough-sounding engine, it may be a sign your car is struggling to keep up. Don\u2019t be like that owner whose Axia went on for \ntwo whole years\n without any servicing before it finally gave up.\n\n\nThe Perodua Axia after running for two whole years straight with no service:\n\n\nSudden High Fuel Consumption\n\n\nIn addition to a rough-sounding engine, an unserviced car will have an abnormally \nhigh fuel consumption rate\n. High fuel consumption during city driving and slow traffic crawls is normal. But when it still even occurs while driving on empty roads, do take note if the engine starts sounding rough.\u00a0\n\n\nRough-sounding engines paired up with high fuel consumption means that the fluids that lubricate your car engine may need to be changed. Remember when we mentioned checking the viscosity of your engine oil earlier? That engine oil is what lubricates all the moving parts like pistons and crankshaft to keep it reciprocating smoothly. But what happens if they don\u2019t get changed?\n\n\n\n\nDodol, anyone?\n\n\nLike frying oil, the more often it\u2019s being used, the darker it gets. The effectiveness of the lubrication from the engine oil will dwindle due to soot, grime, and carbon build-up as a byproduct of the engine combustion adds viscosity. The more power the engine requires to run due to poor lubrication, the more fuel it will consume in the process. Also do take note if the engine oil levels are lower than usual, there might be a potential \nleak\n somewhere in the engine.\u00a0\n\n\nHow to Perform A Quick Car Service On Your Vehicle At Home:\n\n\nCheck the Engine Oil Level Via Dipstick\n\n\nLocate the dipstick inside the engine bay after opening the hood/bonnet. It should look like a circular-ring-like contraption. With a piece of tissue paper, take the dipstick out and wipe it on the tissue paper. Then, take a look at the color of the engine oil via the lower tip of the dipstick.\n\n\nHealthy engine oil should shine with a bronze-like color on the dipstick. If the oil starts to look like a smidge of oyster sauce, it\u2019s time to send it to a car service center. In addition, the dipstick has markings that tell you the engine oil level. If it\u2019s running low as indicated on the stick, you might need to top it off and check for oil leaks in the engine bay.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n \n@carsomemy\n\n\nHari ni pakar kami nak tunjuk cara-cara check minyak enjin yg paling senang untuk korang.

Start by giving the car a slight shake, then observe the water levels inside the battery.\u00a0\n\n\nDepending on the make and model, some disassembly via loosening some bolts may be required.\n\n\nIf your car battery does not come with a semi-transparent wall, you may have to inspect it manually. Take a screwdriver and open up the flaps on the top surface of the battery and peek inside. If the fluids are running low, use \ndistilled water\n to top it off. Do not use \ntap water \nor drinking water as it contains impurities that can harm the battery! Furthermore, do not fill it to the brim as it can cause spillage!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWiper Fluid and Blades\n\n\nLook for a cap with a window wiper icon etched onto it in the engine compartment. It should look like the image above. Top it off with tap water and close the lid. Alternatively, you can top it off with water mixed with dish detergent to clean off your windshield if it gets dirty.\u00a0\n\n\nA simple check on your wiper blades is to look for cracks on the rubber surface. Rubber hardens when exposed to heat and friction over time. When it rains, your wipers may not sweep water off your windshield efficiently as before. Replace the wiper blades if the rubber is starting to get brittle, hardened, or cracked.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nChanging Your Wipers: A Small Price To Pay For Your Safety\n\n\nCheck Brake Pads\n\n\n \nBrake pads\n are one of the few components that get neglected by many car owners. When it comes to DIY maintenance, most car owners would only focus on replacing engine fluids that keep the engine running. Your brake pads may have saved your life on one or multiple occasions more than you think!\u00a0\n\n\nA simple way to check the condition of your brake pads is to take a flashlight and shine through your brake calipers. You should be able to see a grey, sponge-like ceramic padding and take note of its condition. If plenty of ceramic padding is still visible, your brakes are still in good condition. Take your vehicle to a car service center if they look worn out.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nSquealing Brakes Are a Cry for Help. Bring It to a Stop Before It\u2019s Too Late!\n\n\nTire Threads and Air Pressure\u00a0\n\n\nAlternatively, you can use the 10-sen method to check your tire threads. If the girth of the threads is less than half the height of the coin, it\u2019s time to change tires.\u00a0\n\n\nThis is a simple check even your kids can do. More threads on a car tire provide more grip when you corner. If your car tire starts balding, consider getting them rotated first before buying a new set. Alternatively, some tires have a little \nnotch\n located inside the tire threads. If these notches are visible, it means your tires are balding.\u00a0\n\n\nYou can eyeball your tire pressure by looking at the tire condition. If it sits looking like it\u2019s slightly deflated, hop over to the nearest petrol station to inflate them back. Also, consider investing in a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) if you can as it can accurately tell you which tire needs to be topped up with air.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nWhat You Need to Know about Car Tires\n\n\nCheck the Coolant Level and Top Up If Necessary\u00a0\n\n\nWhen an engine overheats, the chances of it \ngoing kaput\n gets higher. An internal combustion engine has plenty of moving parts that have tight tolerances to failure. Furthermore, the heat produced from the friction of reciprocating parts and heat from combustion is going to make the parts expand and susceptible to damage.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nHere\u2019s How to Check the 6 Essential Car Oils & Fluids\n\n\n\n\nMake sure the engine is cold before touching the cap\n\n\nA quick way to check for engine coolant level is to locate a silver cap in the engine compartment. That houses the radiator, where all the liquid coolant is stored. Twist the cap counterclockwise, and peek inside. Top it off with more coolant or antifreeze if it\u2019s running empty.\u00a0\n\n\nStop By The Most Fashionable Car Service Center Before \nBalik Kampung\n!\n\n\nIf your engine needs a more thorough service, drop by the hottest service center in the Klang Valley!

Do you know the importance of this phrase to your car? To maximize the life and performance of your vehicle, you should maintain and regularly service your car to prevent any kind of mishaps down the road which can be both dangerous and costly.\n\n\n\n\nThere are all sorts of ways to kill a perfectly good vehicle, and one of the most common is to neglect basic maintenance. Driving too long on the same spark plugs, forgetting to change the oil, and turning a deaf ear to squealing brakes or mysterious clunking sounds can mean an early trip to the junkyard for your vehicle.\n\n\nTo make it easier for you to keep track of your car maintenance schedule, we have created a basic checklist on when and what to do when you service your car to help extend the life of it..\n\n\nCar Service \u2013 Short Term\n\n\n(can be done before you go on a long drive or every month)\n\n\nOils and Coolant Level\n \u2013 Before any trip, it\u2019s always best to look under your hood of your car to inspect the oil and coolant level while the engine is off. Low level of these fluids can lead to big damage to your engine or any unnecessary breakdowns along the way.\n\n\n\n\nAir Filter\n \u2013 The function of an air filter is to regulate the air flow into your engine and prevents any kind of nasties from entering your car. \nBy making sure that your air filter is working properly, you can improve your fuel efficiency, decrease your emissions, and help ensure the life of your engine. This can be done easily at home, so check your owner\u2019s manual for instructions and how often it needs to be changed.\n\n\nTire Pressure\n \u2013 The number marked on the tires is the maximum amount of pressure that tires can contain. If this capacity is exceeded, it may cause a tire blowout. On the contrary, low tire pressure may lead to wasted fuel and hotter tires.\n\n\n\n\nTire Rotation\n \u2013 The tread wear patterns on your tires may vary between the front and back tires, or even from one side of the tread to the other depending on your vehicle alignment, usage, and many other factors. Rotating them will help extend the service life by balancing the tread wear and help prevent vibration problems. This should be done at every 8,000 km.\n\n\n\n\nCar Lights\n \u2013 It is important that the lights on your vehicle are properly functioning, but oftentimes it can be easily overlooked. Ask for another person\u2019s help to finish this check. Sit in the car and turn on all the lights and signals and ask him or her if the lights are functioning properly. You can also park your car in front of a flat surface to check if both the headlights are working properly and are well-positioned.\n\n\nMotor Oil\n \u2013 Motor oil in your engine works in different ways \u2013 it lubricates the moving parts, helps act as a sealant against debris, cools the engine, reduces wear and tear, and helps prevent engine corrosion. Depending on your car and what kind of oil you are using, you may need to change both the oil and its filter every 3 months or at 10,000 km.\n\n\nCar Service \u2013 \nLong Term \n\n\nSpark Plugs\n \u2013 The spark plugs in your car are used to ignite the car and the air mixtures that eventually powers up your car. If these are not working properly, your engine might not be performing at its optimal capacity. You should have it checked professionally to replace any faulty spark plugs when you feel your engine is not performing properly. You can also get it changed at every 50,000 km.\n\n\n\n\nSerpentine Belt\n \u2013 This simple piece of rubber is essential in keeping your car running by powering peripheral devices such as your alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioner compressor. Visually inspect the belt to ensure that it is free of cracks or other wear and tear. Make sure to replace it based on your car\u2019s manufacturer\u2019s recommendation.\u00a0\n\n\nShock and Struts\n \u2013 The shocks and struts of your car\u2019s function to control the impact of speed bumps and holes on the roads are essential to your auto\u2019s steering system. These should be inspected by a professional every 100,000km or when you notice a decrease in smoothness or loss of control when driving.\n\n\n\n\nTransmission Fluid\n \u2013 Similar to your engine\u2019s oil, this fluid is a lubricant that keep all the moving parts inside your transmission working properly. No matter the transmission (\nmanual or auto\n), it is important to get this fluid checked and changed whenever necessary to avoid any costly damage down the road. You can either change it every two years or after driving 50,000 km -90,000 km.\u00a0\n\n\nTransfer Case Fluid\n \u2013 The transfer case is what shifts power from the transmission to the axles. You\u2019ll need to have the transfer case fluid checked according to the vehicle manufacturer\u2019s recommendations to make certain that it is properly filled and leak-free. This will require you getting under the vehicle, so bringing it into a professional is recommended when you service your car. You can also change this fluid at every 50,000 km. Do take note that this fluid is only applicable\n for 4 wheel drive cars.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCoolant Fluid\n \u2013 The radiator in your car is a vital component that helps keep your engine cool and functioning properly. Having your coolant system flushed regularly will help get rid of contaminants that can build up inside as well as ensure that your radiator is filled to a proper level. It is recommended you\u00a0change coolant\u00a0after the first 210,000\u00a0km\u00a0or 120 months, then every 30,000\u00a0km\u00a0or 24 months.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCar Service \u2013 Seasonal\n\n\n(every 6 months to 1 year)\n\n\nReplace Windshield Wipers\n \u2013 It is recommended that you change your wiper blades every 6-12 months. Windshield wipers are made from rubber, which is degradable, and becomes less effective over time. You should get into the habit of checking your wipers regularly and know what signs to look out for as they begin to wear out. Some of these signs include broken, split, cracked pieces of the rubber, wipers that show signs of steaks on your windshield, bent frames and weird noises when they drag across the glass.\n\n\n\n\nBattery Performance Check\n \u2013 Your car battery is one of the most important components for your vehicle to run. A car battery supplies large amounts of electrical current for the starter, engine, and other electronic accessories in the vehicle. Extreme temperatures affect the performance of the battery so regular battery testing will ensure that battery will perform when you need it to. Make sure to perform a battery check the next time you service your car.\u00a0\n\n\nNow that you know when and what you should do you service your car to maintain the performance of it, do follow these tips!

By properly absorbing the shock and vibration from the road, your car\u2019s shock absorbers and suspension system ensure a comfortable and safe ride for you and your passengers. That\u2019s why it\u2019s crucial to know how to look out for signs that your absorbers may be worn out and need replacing.\n\n\n\n\n4 Things to Know About Your Shock Absorbers\n\n\nWhen people talk about a car\u2019s suspension, they\u2019re usually referring to the shock absorbers. In the most basic terms, a shock absorber, or damper, is a tube containing a piston, hydraulic fluid, and occasionally high-pressure gas. These components work together to ensure a smooth ride, among other things. Below are some things you should know about shock absorbers.\n\n\n1. Function of a Shock Absorber\n\n\nThe shock absorbers absorb vibration and control the up/down movement of the shock springs. When the car wheel hits a bump, the fluid dampens the impact on the piston and smooths the movement of the piston and spring as they return back into place. This is important as it:\n\n\n\n\nEnsures the tire is always in contact with the surface of the road.\n\n\nProvides optimal brake performance.\n\n\nPrevents the vehicle from bouncing or swaying excessively.\n\n\nEnsures optimal steering response.\n\n\nEnsures a smooth, comfortable, and safe drive.\n\n\n\n\n2. How Long Do Shock Absorbers Last?\n\n\nLike every car part, shock absorbers are prone to fatigue and wear. Therefore, it\u2019s always important to pay attention to the quality of your ride and have your shock absorbers checked regularly. The lifespan of a shock absorber depends on several factors including your car\u2019s mileage, your driving style, road conditions, and more. But in general, shock absorbers are considered consumables, just like your car\u2019s \ntires\n and brake pads. Thus, it\u2019s a good idea to have them looked at around the 30,000-kilometer mark, and replaced at 50,000 kilometers.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nWhen Should You Get A Wheel Alignment and Balancing\n\n\n3. Types of Car Shock Absorbers\n\n\nThe two main types of shock absorbers on the market are hydraulic oil absorbers and gas-charged absorbers.\n\n\nHydraulic Shock Absorbers\u00a0\n\n\nA hydraulic shock absorber comprises a working cylinder or tube, a compression chamber containing air, and a piston rod that directs the hydraulic fluid (oil). It provides good performance on paved roads and under normal driving conditions making it suitable for regular passenger cars. On challenging surfaces and during extended aggressive driving, the oil in the shock absorber can start to boil and form bubbles which is called cavitation. Cavitation causes the viscosity of the hydraulic fluid to change which reduces the absorber\u2019s performance.\n\n\nGas-charged Shock Absorbers\n\n\nA gas-charged shock absorber has the same structure as a regular hydraulic one but has pressurized nitrogen gas instead of air in the gas chamber. The nitrogen gas compresses the oil which prevents cavitation, foaming and bubble formation, ensuring more consistent performance. Gas-charged absorbers are suitable for heavy and commercial vehicles, as well as sports cars that require nimble steering at high speeds.\n\n\n4. Gas-Charged or Hydraulic Shock Absorbers?\n\n\nGas-charged shock absorbers are getting more easily available, but should you get it for your car? Here are the differences between regular hydraulic oil shock absorbers and gas-charged shock absorbers.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDifferences\n\n\nHydraulic Absorber\n\n\nGas-charged Absorber\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice\n\n\nAffordable\n\n\nMore expensive\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVehicle Type\n\n\nSuitable for regular passenger cars\n\n\nSuitable for heavy and commercial vehicles, as well as sports cars\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGas Chamber\n\n\nFilled with air\n\n\nFilled with pressurized nitrogen gas\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCavitation (risk of hydraulic fluid foaming)\n\n\nMore likely to happen on rough terrain, causing a drop in performance\u00a0\n\n\nLess likely to happen, leading to consistent performance\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComfort\n\n\nThe absorber is softer, leading to better comfort\n\n\nThe absorber is stiffer, leading to a stiffer ride\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHandling\n\n\nAdequate handling for normal driving\n\n\nBetter handling at high speeds, eg. at the race track\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6 Signs of Worn or Faulty Shock Absorbers\n\n\nA worn shock absorber will not only cause a rough, uncomfortable ride, it will also negatively affect the vehicle\u2019s handling and braking performance. Furthermore, it could cause other components such as the \ntires\n and brakes to wear out prematurely. Here are the signs that you may have worn out shock absorbers.\n\n\n1. Vibrating Steering Wheel\n\n\nIt\u2019s normal for your steering wheel to vibrate when you drive over potholes or uneven surfaces. However, excessive vibration is a sign that your shock absorbers are worn out and can\u2019t dampen the vibration well enough. If your steering wheel vibrates even on a smooth, level road, your shock absorber could be significantly worn or damaged.\n\n\nBesides on uneven surfaces, you may also experience excessive vibration when driving on the highway at speed. Having to control a vibrating steering wheel is not only uncomfortable but it may limit your ability to steer your vehicle which could lead to an accident.\n\n\n2. Your Vehicle Shakes or Sways While Driving\n\n\nWith worn shock absorbers, the shock and vibration that your tire absorbs will also be transferred to the whole vehicle. As a result, your car might vibrate, bounce, or sway excessively, making it feel unstable on the road. This problem is usually intensified when you drive at high speeds. If your shock absorbers are significantly worn out, your car could bottom out when you drive over bumps and dips which can further damage your suspension system.\n\n\n3. Your Vehicle Rolls or Sways Excessively in Corners\n\n\nOne function of the shock absorbers is to ensure your car body stays in a neutral position when cornering. If you have a worn or faulty shock absorber, it can lose its ability to control the weight transfer rate when the car is cornering. This will increase body roll when you take a corner, especially at high speeds. It may also result in your car needing an increased steering input even when turning at low speeds.\n\n\n4. Uneven Tire Wear\n\n\nWhen your car bounces due to worn-out shock absorbers, it can put more pressure on your tires and accelerate the wear on them. A common type of tire wear caused by worn-out absorbers is cupping or scalloping. This refers to when you have high and low tread wear in random spots.\n\n\nThe worn parts are usually three to four inches in diameter and can cause a rumbling noise at high speeds or a harsh ride at lower speeds. If you notice cupping or scalloping on your tires, be sure to get your shock absorbers checked immediately.\n\n\n5. Excessive Nose Dive and Squat\n\n\nProperly functioning shock absorbers stabilize the movement of your suspension when you brake and accelerate. When your absorbers are worn out, your car\u2019s front end could dive while braking and the rear end could squat during acceleration. This is a serious issue as it can increase your stopping distance and place an excessive load on other suspension components.\n\n\nWhile it\u2019s not advisable to try it out on the open road, you can pay attention to how your car reacts under hard acceleration and braking the next time you drive. Alternatively, you can push down hard on the sides of your car. If it bounces several times before stopping, it\u2019s a sign of worn-out shock absorbers.\n\n\n6. Fluid Leak on the Shock Absorbers\n\n\nA sure sign of a faulty or worn-out shock absorber is when it\u2019s leaking fluid. If the seal is worn out, hydraulic fluid could leak out and reduce the performance of the shock absorber. Dirt can also enter into the tube and affect the ability of the piston to move as intended.\u00a0\n\n\nWhen you replace your faulty shock absorbers, it\u2019s advisable to check the condition of your coil springs as well. If the spring has changed shape or lost its elasticity, you should replace it.\n\n\nRead More: \nWhat Is a Car Engine Overhaul and When to Do It\n\n\nSigns of Worn or Faulty Shock Absorber Mounting\n\n\nThe shock absorber mounting, also called the top strut mount or shock mount, is the mount that connects the strut or shock absorber to the vehicle\u2019s body or frame. Besides ensuring the shock absorber stays in place, the mount also absorbs shocks, vibrations, and noise, preventing them from entering the cabin. The shock absorber mounting generally doesn\u2019t require maintenance but does need replacing if it\u2019s worn out. Some signs of a worn-out absorber mounting are:\n\n\n\n\nSqueaking, knocking, or clunking sounds when you drive over bumps or maneuver at low speed. Sometimes there may be noises when you turn the steering wheel while stationary.\n\n\nVisual signs such as signs of corrosion, tears or cracks in the rubber, and separation of the mount\u2019s rubber and metal parts.\n\n\nExcessive vibration, uneven tire wear, and poor steering return.\n\n\n\n\nThe shock absorbers and absorber mounting are important in ensuring your car\u2019s suspension system is able to function properly. Without them, you could have a very bumpy and dangerous ride, so if you notice any of the warning signs above, be sure to have your car checked immediately.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a safe and comfortable \npre-owned car\n, check out CARSOME.

As you walked to your car, you noticed something was off. Your car was sitting lower to the ground. Upon starting the car and putting a little pressure on the gas pedal, the exhaust growled louder than usual. After pulling your vehicle to the side and checking out your exhaust, you found out your catalytic converter is \nmissing\n!\n\n\n\n\nCar theft and stolen car spare parts in Malaysia usually go hand in hand in which most cases the car gets stolen first before it\u2019s stripped for parts. Occasionally, swift-handed thieves would just steal one part while leaving behind your vehicle.\n\n\nIf you drive a cheap, economy car, there is a higher chance it might get targeted due to a lack of safety features installed, unlike most continental cars. Here are the car spare parts that are commonly stolen from your vehicle and here\u2019s what you can do to prevent its theft.\n\n\nRead More: \nBest Items to Keep In Your Car for Your Self-Defense Kit!\n\n\nCatalytic Converter\n\n\nCatalytic converters in cars have been consistently stolen from vehicles no matter the vehicle\u2019s make and brand. For the uninitiated, a catalytic converter is prized among scrap thieves due to the precious metals used in it like platinum, rhodium, and palladium. Catalytic converters are used to filter out harmful exhaust gasses produced by the engine mandated by global emission laws. However, scrap thieves and drug junkies looking to make a quick buck soon discovered the precious metals inside a catalytic converter. If you\u2019re driving a \nhybrid car\n, the chances of getting it stolen are twice as high due to more precious metals used to accommodate higher standards of clean emissions produced.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nA quick search on e-commerce sites shows a used catalytic converter for a car goes for less than RM800 in Malaysia. Usually, the thief will hoist up the car with a car jack, then it\u2019s removed with a saw or blowtorch. A good way to prevent theft on your catalytic converter is to install an anti-theft device that locks it in place. In addition, investing in an \nanti-theft vehicle system\n such as a vibration-triggered vehicle alarm would deter anyone who tries to tamper with your car.\u00a0\n\n\nAlloy Rims\n\n\nAlloy wheels are a prime target for thieves because they are \neasy to remove\n and sell and most of all, untraceable. They\u2019re the easiest to steal out of this given news about tires and rims stolen in \nMalaysia\n.\n\n\nGenuine sport rims, depending on design and brand, could cost a \nsmall fortune\n on the resale market. Take the Volks Racing TE37 wheels for reference, Ray\u2019s \nofficial website\n says one set of 19-inch Rays TE-37 Ultra M-Spec wheels in bronze goes for 428,000 Yen (RM 14,058.58, excluding import taxes).\n\n\n\n\nAll you need is a few simple tools and a brave individual to steal your rims. To deter this, get wheel locks in place of your rim\u2019s lugnuts. Wheel locks are special lug nuts installed with a specialized key that is needed to remove them. They can be purchased at most auto parts stores or any e-commerce site in Malaysia.\n\n\nRead More: \n5 Popular Sport Rim Brands in Malaysia\n\n\nCar Engine and Batteries\n\n\nStolen car engines have also been reported missing around Malaysia. Car engines are also harvested for the precious car spare parts inside to be resold to \nworkshops\n. Older, discontinued, and high-demand vehicles like cheap economy cars tend to fall prey to car thieves.\n\n\nFurthermore, the lack of a safety system which is commonly absent in economy cars, makes your vehicle more prone to be stolen. A common way for thieves to steal an engine is to steal the whole car first. Then, it\u2019s driven to somewhere quiet where the parts-stripping process begins. Stolen engines and dismantled car spare parts are even harder to track down once it\u2019s harvested. It could be anywhere and in several different cars by the time you found your car back.\n\n\n\n\nRight alongside catalytic converters, car batteries are also highly stolen either for resale value or for precious metals like lead inside. Again, if you\u2019re driving an older car, there is a high chance your car battery is at risk of getting stolen for cheaper replacement parts. Some may also steal batteries due to necessity, such as those who need a working battery for their own vehicle but cannot afford to buy one. \n\n\nRead More: \nLemon Law to Protect Used Car Buyers in Malaysia?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCar Number Plate & Road Tax\n\n\nThieves steal car plate numbers to be used for nefarious purposes. These plates and road tax can be cloned by skilled criminals to assume your identity as a red herring for any investigative authorities. Furthermore, there are reports of people having their plate number and road tax stolen while having the summons and speeding tickets raked up under their name.\n\n\nIn other cases, a whole plate number and car may be \ncloned\n as robbery getaway vehicles or be sold as someone else with the false pretense of a street-legal vehicle. While it sounds straight up like a Hollywood heist film scenario, \u200creality is not too far off from fiction. If you do find your car plate number and road tax is stolen or know someone is using the identity of your vehicle, make a police report right away and contact your insurance company with the police report.\u00a0\n\n\nAs a general rule of thumb, the best way to prevent car theft is to park in a well-lit area, preferably one that has CCTV surveillance and guard patrols. Cheap, open-air parking may seem tempting, but it\u2019s where car thieves go on the prowl if they\u2019re looking for a victim ripe for the picking. If you do drive an older car, invest some money in a good anti-theft system like a vibration-activated alarm system or a kill switch. Moreover, getting good car insurance goes a long way if your car does get stolen, but do check if their packages cover stolen car parts.\u00a0\n\n\nAll in all, if you\u2019re a fellow car enthusiast like me, getting your beloved car stolen is something I would never wish \u200con my worst enemy. Beefing up your car\u2019s defense should be your number one priority to you, especially if it holds much sentimental value in your heart. \n\n\nRead More: \nEverything You Need to Know About Road Tax Renewal Online in Malaysia\n\n", "Brian Wong", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

However, there\u2019s still a significant supply shortage of new cars around the world. This has caused many automakers from \nPerodua\n to \nHonda\n unable to fulfill their backlog of orders stretching months, leaving consumers like us no choice but to wait.\u00a0\n\n\nSo what\u2019s causing this shortage of new cars and what should you do if you want a car now?\n\n\n\n\nSemiconductor Chip Shortage Disrupting New Car Supply\n\n\nThe main factor disrupting the global supply of new cars is the shortage of semiconductor chips or microchips. Since modern cars are packed with electronic components, they need a lot of microchips to keep everything running. Microchips function as the \u2018brain\u2019 of modern electronics and components such as the infotainment system, power windows, reverse camera, and safety equipment all need microchips to work.\n\n\nWhy Is There a Semiconductor Chip Shortage?\n\n\nWhen the pandemic started and demand for new cars dropped, car manufacturers stopped their order of semiconductor chips from suppliers. At the same time, other companies, especially consumer electronics firms were ordering more to keep up with demand. When countries opened up and the economy started to improve, automakers found it extremely difficult to obtain new microchips and had to wait at the back of the queue for them.\n\n\nAlso worsening the situation is the fact that semiconductor chip manufacturers require up to six months to restart production of a microchip and another three to five months to actually produce them. With the non-stop demand for semiconductor chips from all industries, car manufacturers and consumers have no choice but to wait it out.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nTop Car Upgrades to Improve Your Ride\n\n\nParts Supply Disruption\n\n\nAnother factor contributing to the car supply shortage is the disruption in the production of car parts. Part manufacturers and vendors were also somewhat affected by the pandemic with problems ranging from supply issues to COVID-19 infections among employees. This has slowed down car production among some car manufacturers, especially in Malaysia. That being said, the car parts supply is recovering in 2022, leaving the semiconductor chip shortage as the major issue causing delays in new car delivery.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nBuying a Car?

You don\u2019t necessarily need to know every word that is used in the car dictionary to know a car, but knowing them definitely doesn\u2019t hurt.\n\n\nCredit: Giphy\n\n\nAlso, knowing these terms would surely help you know your car better, or if you are in the market of buying or selling a car, you won\u2019t be as lost when the salesperson is trying to explain the details to you.\n\n\n\n\nHorsepower\n\n\n\n\nHorsepower or more commonly known as HP is a common unit of measurement of an engine\u2019s power. The term horsepower is used widely in the automotive world and it varies from vehicle to vehicle, country to country. One horsepower equals 75 kilogram-force meters \n[kgf\u00b7m]\n per second.\u00a0 When the number of horsepower is high, it means that the vehicle is powered to drive off at a faster speed. In a typical sedan, you can expect a 120-horsepower engine and a larger SUV would often carry a 200-horsepower engine. Smaller cars like Myvis would usually carry a 70-horsepower engine.\n\n\n\n\nMileage\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMileage refers to the distance needed by a vehicle to move using one 1L of fuel. For the mileage to be considered high or low, it really depends on the age of the car and the distance. In other terms, depending on the age of the car, mileage would be considered high if the distance driven is equal to or higher than 100, 000 km. If your car is at this mileage, usually the car would need some kind of servicing to replace certain mechanics of the car as well as the necessary oils and water. Old cars that are 15 years old with a mileage of 100, 000 km is way better compared to a 3-year-old car with the same mileage.\n\n\n\n\nVehicle Identification Number\n\n\n\n\nEvery car (any vehicle in general) has a vehicle identification number or known as VIN that is unique to its own. This number\u00a0 consists of 17 characters, a mixture of alphabets and numbers and is considered the car\u2019s own birth certificate. The VIN holds numerous information like the car\u2019s history record, the car\u2019s variety and model, the location it was manufactured in, its specifications and many more. The number can be found in different parts of the car including the driver\u2019s door, the dashboard, and under the front passenger\u2019s seat.\n\n\n\n\nAir Filter\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour car\u2019s air filter is considered a security guard for your car. Though it might not protect your car from robberies and break-ins, the air filter acts as a guard that filters out all the nasties that might enter your engine. The engine area needs an average of 9, 000 liters of air every minute and a clean air filter plays a crucial role in ensuring how efficiently an engine runs. If the air filter is filled with dirt, clean air can\u2019t get through and in turn affects the engine from doing its work of providing enough fuel power, hence affects the engine\u2019s overall power.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nOil Viscosity\n\n\n\n\nOil viscosity plays an important role in the maintenance of a car. In general, a vehicle\u2019s lubricant is classified based on the level of viscosity (the thickness of the oil), in regard to its efficiency at pouring at a specified temperature. Thinner oils have lower viscosity and pour more easily at lower temperature compared to thicker oils that have a higher viscosity. Thin oil reduces friction in engines and allows the engine to start faster during the cold weather. Thick oils are better at maintaining film strength and oil pressure at high temperatures and loads.\n\n\n\n\nCoolant\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCoolant ensures that your engine does not overheat during the warmer season and does not freeze during the colder season that can cause really bad damage to the engine (hence costing more in repairing it). Coolant also known as antifreeze is a combination of ethylene glycol and water and needs changing because the chemicals in this break down and become less effective over time. By not changing the coolant, damages include rush and sludge, damaging your car\u2019s cooling system and risk the possibility of the engine overheating.\n\n\n\n\nBrake\n\n\n\n\nThe function of brakes in a car do not need any introduction. It is to slow down a car so that the car can come to a halt safely and to avoid any kind of collision. On average, brake pads can last for at least 80, 000 kilometers. But, the efficiency of a brake also depends on the driving style, driving location, driving frequency and a number of other factors. Some car models would have sensors and signs that would remind the driver when the brake pad needs to be changed.But even without that, you can also take note on when to change it based on certain signs like noticing a weird sound from the brake or checking out the brake pad by yourself at the sides of the rim.\n\n\nWith these basic terms, you will surely be able to understand your car better. And for those who do not own a car just yet, knowing these terms and its meaning might actually come in handy whenever you decide to get one because they would help you understand that each car works differently, and you might be able to just find the one that suits you best.\n\n\n\n\nSo when you decide to buy a car, do check out Carsome\u2019s list of used new cars. The variety and quality of these cars will surely blow your mind, because some are better than new ones. If you are not sure why you should choose a used car, then you should totally check out this \narticle\n.

At first glance, it\u2019s only logical to think so. Recessions lead to more retrenchments, and desperation leads to crime. Though in reality, the \nstudies conducted\n seem to disapprove of this theory. Nonetheless, we should still not take this warning with a \ngrain of salt\n.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pryM7EFRO2A\n\n\nBack in 20\n21, \nMas Tina Abdul Hamid\n, the Vehicle Theft Reduction Council of Malaysia Berhad (VTREC) coordinator, said a \nvehicle is stolen\n every hour and 15 minutes in Malaysia. Although VTREC claims that the numbers have gone down over the years, in which proper enforcement and the lockdowns played a role, we might see a \nresurgence of car theft\n in Malaysia again.\u00a0\n\n\nOne fun fact \u2013 did you know that the first-generation Proton Wira is the most stolen car in Malaysia at one point? For two consecutive years, back-to-back, our local hero, the Wira still \nretains that spot\n longer than any country holding more than one World Cup Championship title. Ask any Proton spare parts supplier and they\u2019ll tell you that it\u2019s hard to get ahold of genuine parts for a 17-year-old car today. That\u2019s why any running Proton Wira\u2019s on the road survives by making do with Mitsubishi parts, which are more easily sourced from Japan and a no-brainer to install.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nHow to Avoid Getting Ripped Off When Buying or Selling a Car\n\n\nAfter the Wira, the runner-ups are followed by the Iswara and Toyota Hilux. In fact, victims of car theft involve workhorses and reliable cars. According to VTREC, the Toyota Vellfire is the only luxurious car to make it on this list dating back to 2020. Don\u2019t breathe a sigh of relief yet if your car isn\u2019t on the list. No one can be truly safe from car thieves. Here\u2019s how to prevent your car from getting stolen in Malaysia.\n\n\nKill Switch\n\n\nLike a switch on a battery-powered toy, a kill switch in your car is a cheap and effective aftermarket accessory \nyou can install\n that is linked to the car battery. Often these small kill switches can be hidden inside the car via creative ways by yourself or with a workshop foreman. These kill switches can be found on Malaysia\u2019s e-commerce platforms though they might take some skills and expertise to install.\u00a0\n\n\nCurrently, the \ntwo common types\n of kill switches are the ignition wire and battery connect\n kill switch\n. The ignition wire operates by grafting a wire into the connection. When the switch is off, the electrical currents that were supposed to send signals to the engine to start the car get cut off when the kill switch is activated. Only switching it back on allows the current to run smoothly.\u00a0\n\n\nA battery-connected kill switch is pretty straightforward as it\u2019s installed in the engine bay where the car battery is located. To engage and disengage the switch, you would need to pop the hood to flick it. While a battery-connected kill switch is well-discreet, popping the hood just to engage the switch every time you want to use the car can be a hassle. These simple kill switches can prolong the lifespan of your car battery when your car is in use, but would-be car thieves would also be left confused wondering why the car won\u2019t start. The only downside is if car thieves pull up in a tow truck, there\u2019s nothing you can do about it.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUhXLsrZiE0\n\n\nSteering Lock\n\n\nAnother inexpensive way you can theft-proof your car is a simple steering lock. This crude, club-like device \nlocks your steering \nand front wheels together via a long rod and can only be released with a key. Without it, car thieves would not be able to turn the steering wheel except for going straight. This humble steering lock is an inexpensive, straightforward, and sturdy design that can be bought from any hardware store or online. Its solid steel and metal construction make \nit an improvised weapon\n should a confrontation arise.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nBest Items to Keep In Your Car to Your Self-Defense Kit!\n\n\nRemote Car Starter\n\n\nPicture a push-to-start system in your car, but make it portable to carry around. Remote car starters have been around since the 1980s. It was designed with anti-car theft in mind by a car accessory store in Montreal, Canada. Today, this feature has made its way to \nhigher-end vehicles\n.\n The brand-new Civic for example comes with a remote car starter from the factory. In older vehicles, it\u2019s also a good investment to get a remote car starter to thwart car thieves. A good remote car starter set can be bought for less than RM300 online, with some systems designed for specific models in mind! Installing it, however, shouldn\u2019t cost you much with a trusted foreman. Safety aside, a remote car starter is one of the few ways you can modernize your daily driven classic with style like James Bond.\u00a0\n\n\nBe sure to check \non reviews\n on an aftermarket remote car starter though. There have been reports of thieves able to hack into a remote starter system, but most likely due to it running a cheap software program. After all, you\u2019re paying for what you get.\n\n\nGPS Trackers\n\n\nA jealous spouse\u2019s favorite, a GPS tracker is also a simple, foolproof way to keep track of where your vehicle is should it get lifted off the streets. These little high-tech devices are fitted with a SIM card and a subscription package that gives you live updates on where your car goes. In some premium insurance packages, it is even included as part of their services too! Once your car gets stolen, the insurance company will dial the police and send security personnel immediately to secure your car.\u00a0\n\n\nA GPS tracking system is probably the most expensive option on this list given there is a subscription plan instead of a one-time install. But, it also serves as the last line of defense if car thieves have managed to scoot off with your car.\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEWh0yV4Pf0\n\n\nTo conclude, we hope this suggestion from our list can help our readers beef up your car\u2019s security. As a rule of thumb, always park your car in brightly lit, guarded, and crowded areas where people can see you. At home, keep your car porch brightly lit and invest in a house alarm system to thwart thieves.

Analogies aside, the transmission is one of the key components of a vehicle as it\u2019s responsible for primarily transferring and also multiplying the force from the engine\u2019s crankshaft into motion directed towards the wheels.\n\n\nWithout it, not only would your vehicle be restricted to a very limited band of power and speed, it also wouldn\u2019t be able to go in reverse.\n\n\nThe multiple ratios in a transmission allow the engine\u2019s powerband to be distributed across a wider range of speeds. Lower gears multiply the torque for more grunt to get moving from a standstill or to climb inclines while the higher gears make cruising at highway speeds much easier without the engine running at a higher speed and burning more fuel.\n\n\nFurthermore, it also houses the reverse gear. Can you imagine life driving a vehicle that couldn\u2019t go in reverse? That\u2019s the stuff motoring nightmares are made of.\n\n\n\n\nTherefore, it\u2019s essential that you do your best to prevent abuse or cause unnecessary additional wear on the transmission to keep it operating at its best.\n\n\nThat said, many of us still carry some bad habits when it comes to operating the transmission in our vehicles. These could cause premature wear and in a worst-case scenario, transmission failure that would require a rebuild or expensive repairs.\n\n\nHere, we\u2019ve listed five common habits some motorists have that are damaging to the transmission and causing premature wear to it.\n\n\nShifting into an Opposite Direction Gear before Coming to a Stop or Engaging Park While Still Rolling\u00a0\n\n\nThis one seems pretty self-explanatory but we\u2019ll dive into the details anyways. If the vehicle is still slowly rolling forward and you engage Reverse; a gear meant to move the vehicle in the opposite direction, logic kind of dictates it can\u2019t be good for the transmission\u2026 and your logic would be spot on.\n\n\nSame goes for throwing it into Drive while it\u2019s rolling backward. You should always make a complete stop before selecting an opposite direction gear.\n\n\nThe reason behind this is Reverse doesn\u2019t usually have a synchromesh. A synchromesh allows two gears that are rotating at different speeds to engage together by forcing rev-matching through its efficient teeth-meshing. Reverse doesn\u2019t usually have this, which is why when you engage it if the car is moving slightly you will hear that painful sound of gears crunching.\n\n\nSo, if you engage a gear for the oppos\nite direction before a complete stop, the transmission band will need extra force to calm down before changing gears. That additional, unnecessary force is behind the increased wear.\n\n\nSimilarly, you shouldn\u2019t engage Park if the car is still rolling, even slightly. Engaging Park locks what is known as the parking pawl (like a pin) onto the transmission\u2019s output shaft, effectively locking it from moving.\n\n\nIf the vehicle is still rolling, engaging Park will induce extra force on the pawl and could cause failure. Hence, you should always come to a complete stop and engage the parking brake before putting it in Park. Think of Park as a failsafe to the parking brake that does all the heavy lifting when stationary.\n\n\nWhile some might argue that the additional wear is negligible, it still makes for good driving practice. After all, you don\u2019t press the accelerator and brakes at the same time, do you?\n\n\nFeathering the Accelerator to Keep the Car in Place on an Incline\n\n\nAgain, this isn\u2019t the transmission\u2019s job. If you\u2019re on an incline, you can leave it in Drive but you must be on the brakes to hold the vehicle in place. If you foresee being stationary on the incline for anything more than two minutes, you should put it in Neutral and engage the parking brake.\n\n\nFeathering the accelerator to keep the car balanced on an incline causes unnecessary slip in the clutch pack as it strains to hold the weight of the vehicle in place.\n\n\nAnd what does extra slip cause? Extra heat. Now, we all know that heat is the bane of any component in a vehicle, especially something as crucial as the transmission. Therefore, don\u2019t ever use the accelerator to hold a car in place on an incline as it\u2019ll cause extra wear to the clutch pack in the transmission.\n\n\nFurthermore, don\u2019t use Park to hold the vehicle on an incline as well. As we mentioned in the first point, that\u2019s going to damage the pawl. Holding the vehicle in place is the job of the parking brake.\n\n\n\n\nDon\u2019t Shift into Neutral at a Traffic Light Unless the Wait Is Long\n\n\nBack in the day, the motorized chariots our ancestors referred to as cars weren\u2019t that smart. Hence, they might have told you to shift into Neutral at traffic lights or in traffic to reduce the fuel consumption as the older torque converter automatics might still be lightly slipping and hence, consuming fuel (this doesn\u2019t apply to manuals for obvious reasons).\n\n\nModern transmissions are clever enough to handle that. They can cut the fuel to prevent that in a torque converter type of automatic or in the case of a dual-clutch transmission, can disengage the clutch pack completely to prevent driveline wear.\n\n\nThe reason we shouldn\u2019t shift into Neutral at traffic lights is to prevent driveline shock. Most traffic lights last no more than three minutes, making the fuel saved negligible. If you engage Neutral at every traffic light, you\u2019ll be subjecting the driveline to unnecessary shock when you re-engage Drive.\n\n\nThe exception to this rule is if the stop is on an incline. Then you should throw it in Park and use the parking brake.\n\n\nSo, with the exception of inclines, just keep it in Drive and stay on the brakes.\n\n\nAvoid Hard Launches or Heavy Acceleration from a Standstill\n\n\nMost of us are probably closet Fast & Furious fans. That\u2019s nothing to be embarrassed about, there\u2019s a secret racer within our inner child that lives for pedal-to-the-metal moments. However, it\u2019s best to leave the heavy launches and traffic light drag races to Vin Diesel and the rest of his film family.\n\n\nHaving a lead foot and pulling heavy launches from a standstill can be extremely damaging to the transmission. Not only will it result in higher temperatures but increased wear as well. Furthermore, that wear isn\u2019t limited to just the transmission seeing that the engine and brakes will be subjected to increased abuse to get the vehicle going and subsequently slow it down.\n\n\nLeaving the car next to you in the dust when the traffic light turns green isn\u2019t even worth the bragging rights. It\u2019s dangerous driving and also consumes more fuel.\n\n\nAlways use gradual acceleration to pull away from a standstill as it consumes the least amount of fuel and will be less strenuous on the transmission in the long run.\n\n\n\n\nSkipping Periodic Maintenance or Not Using the Right Lubricants\n\n\nAt the end of the day, the transmission requires periodic maintenance just like most other components on the vehicle. Given the many types of automatic transmissions on the market (torque converter, dual-clutch transmission, CVT), it\u2019s a given that they will require different methods of maintenance as well as replacement parts.\n\n\nFor example, the clutch packs in a dry-type DCT might require replacement at a certain mileage while the wet-types won\u2019t. The benefit of the wet-type DCT is the reduced wear on the clutch packs from the constant circulation of oil. This is why regular changing of transmission fluid in-line with the recommended maintenance interval is crucial to ensure optimum performance.\n\n\nSkipping a few thousand kilometers might seem inconsequential but the damage could already be done. The fluids in the transmission loses its viscosity over time, meaning it can\u2019t lubricate as well. This could lead to increased friction and wear.\n\n\nThat said, you should also never use transmission fluids or filters that aren\u2019t of the recommended variety or worse, of unknown provenance. Just because you find a cheaper deal for it online, you can\u2019t be sure if the fluid is an imitation product that doesn\u2019t meet the official specifications.\n\n\nYou might save a few bucks in the short term but end up with a hefty repair bill in the long run. Remember, don\u2019t be penny wise and pound foolish.\n\n\nEssentially good driving habits, which include proper maintenance, will help prolong the lifespan of wear and tear components in the transmission and the vehicle as a whole.\n\n\nBuy CARSOME Certified for Peace of Mind\n\n\nHere at CARSOME, we believe in creating an end-to-end buying journey to eliminate the concerns common in a traditional used car buying experience. \nCARSOME Certified\n is the new standard of buying pre-owned cars backed up by our \n175-point inspection\n together with our \nCARSOME Certified Refurbishment Process\n.

Considering that your journey will most likely be by car, Bosch has prepared some handy tips before you hit the road.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nServicing and Inspection\n\n\nThis should be a common practice for vehicle owners to follow before heading on a roadtrip. You can always keep track of your vehicle\u2019s service and maintenance schedule by referring to the service sticker placed on your windshield. Whether or not your car is due for a service soon, you should book an appointment with your service centre before you head out.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhy? If not for a fluid change like engine or transmission oil, you must also have your mechanic check your car\u2019s wipers, battery, brakes, coolant and brake fluid. It is important to replace or replenish any of these items if they are not at an optimum condition or level. Remember that detecting issues early can prevent unwanted problems.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nTyres\n\n\n\n\nIt is good practice to keep your tyre pressure in check fortnightly. This not only prevents uneven wear and tear, but also improves your vehicle\u2019s fuel economy and keeps you safe. If there are noticeable signs of wear or cracks on any sections of the tyre, it is good to head to your nearest mechanic or tyre specialist to get it fixed. Also don\u2019t forget to check and inflate your spare tyre!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nChild Car Seat\n\n\n\n\nIf you are travelling with a child, do fit a booster or child seat in your car. Ensure that the seat is anchored correctly and keep them fastened while you are at the wheel. For families with babies and toddlers, it is highly recommended to utilise a rear-facing car seat as research shows that it could reduce the risk of injury by more than 80% compared to a front-facing car seat during a head-on collision.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRoute Planning & Timing\n\n\n\n\nTo prevent being stuck in a traffic standstill, you could look at travel time advisories updated by highway concessionaires. With this info, you could plan your journey by leaving at the right time. If it involves you leaving early morning before sunrise or after midnight, do make sure you are well rested before hitting the road. If you are feeling sleepy or tired while driving, make sure to head to the closest R&R to get some rest.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSince you will be relying on your mobile phone for navigation or to contact someone during an emergency, do bring along a car charger or power bank to keep it fully charged.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nLuggage & Other Essentials\n\n\nOne of the best way to make your travels fuss-free is to pack light and easy \u2013 bring along what\u2019s only necessary for your getaway. Other essentials you should consider bringing along are two bottles of drinking water to stay hydrated and energy snacks to keep you awake. Besides that, it\u2019s also important to ensure your vehicle\u2019s emergency kit (travel-sized first aid kit, wheel jack, tools, spare tyre, torchlight, and reflective rain jacket) are in place and properly maintained. Other than that, you\u2019re good to go on your roadtrip!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nTL;DR\n\n\n\n\nKeep this image handy with you as a guide!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWant to go on a roadtrip with a new car?

If the vehicle is still slowly rolling forward and you engage Reverse; a gear meant to move the vehicle in the opposite direction, logic kind of dictates it can\u2019t be good for the transmission\u2026 and your logic would be spot on.\n\n\nSame goes for throwing it into Drive while it\u2019s rolling backward. You should always make a complete stop before selecting an opposite direction gear.\n\n\nThe reason behind this is Reverse doesn\u2019t usually have a synchromesh. A synchromesh allows two gears that are rotating at different speeds to engage together by forcing rev-matching through its efficient teeth-meshing. Reverse doesn\u2019t usually have this, which is why when you engage it if the car is moving slightly you will hear that painful sound of gears crunching.\n\n\nSo, if you engage a gear for the oppos\nite direction before a complete stop, the transmission band will need extra force to calm down before changing gears. That additional, unnecessary force is behind the increased wear.\n\n\nSimilarly, you shouldn\u2019t engage Park if the car is still rolling, even slightly. Engaging Park locks what is known as the parking pawl (like a pin) onto the transmission\u2019s output shaft, effectively locking it from moving.\n\n\nIf the vehicle is still rolling, engaging Park will induce extra force on the pawl and could cause failure. Hence, you should always come to a complete stop and engage the parking brake before putting it in Park. Think of Park as a failsafe to the parking brake that does all the heavy lifting when stationary.\n\n\nWhile some might argue that the additional wear is negligible, it still makes for good driving practice. After all, you don\u2019t press the accelerator and brakes at the same time, do you?\n\n\nFeathering the Accelerator to Keep the Car in Place on an Incline\n\n\nAgain, this isn\u2019t the transmission\u2019s job. If you\u2019re on an incline, you can leave it in Drive but you must be on the brakes to hold the vehicle in place. If you foresee being stationary on the incline for anything more than two minutes, you should put it in Neutral and engage the parking brake.\n\n\nFeathering the accelerator to keep the car balanced on an incline causes unnecessary slip in the clutch pack as it strains to hold the weight of the vehicle in place.\n\n\nAnd what does extra slip cause? Extra heat. Now, we all know that heat is the bane of any component in a vehicle, especially something as crucial as the transmission. Therefore, don\u2019t ever use the accelerator to hold a car in place on an incline as it\u2019ll cause extra wear to the clutch pack in the transmission.\n\n\nFurthermore, don\u2019t use Park to hold the vehicle on an incline as well. As we mentioned in the first point, that\u2019s going to damage the pawl. Holding the vehicle in place is the job of the parking brake.\n\n\n\n\nDon\u2019t Shift into Neutral at a Traffic Light Unless the Wait Is Long\n\n\nBack in the day, the motorized chariots our ancestors referred to as cars weren\u2019t that smart. Hence, they might have told you to shift into Neutral at traffic lights or in traffic to reduce the fuel consumption as the older torque converter automatics might still be lightly slipping and hence, consuming fuel (this doesn\u2019t apply to manuals for obvious reasons).\n\n\nModern transmissions are clever enough to handle that. They can cut the fuel to prevent that in a torque converter type of automatic or in the case of a dual-clutch transmission, can disengage the clutch pack completely to prevent driveline wear.\n\n\nThe reason we shouldn\u2019t shift into Neutral at traffic lights is to prevent driveline shock. Most traffic lights last no more than three minutes, making the fuel saved negligible. If you engage Neutral at every traffic light, you\u2019ll be subjecting the driveline to unnecessary shock when you re-engage Drive.\n\n\nThe exception to this rule is if the stop is on an incline. Then you should throw it in Park and use the parking brake.\n\n\nSo, with the exception of inclines, just keep it in Drive and stay on the brakes.\n\n\nAvoid Hard Launches or Heavy Acceleration from a Standstill\n\n\nMost of us are probably closet Fast & Furious fans. That\u2019s nothing to be embarrassed about, there\u2019s a secret racer within our inner child that lives for pedal-to-the-metal moments. However, it\u2019s best to leave the heavy launches and traffic light drag races to Vin Diesel and the rest of his film family.\n\n\nHaving a lead foot and pulling heavy launches from a standstill can be extremely damaging to the transmission. Not only will it result in higher temperatures but increased wear as well. Furthermore, that wear isn\u2019t limited to just the transmission seeing that the engine and brakes will be subjected to increased abuse to get the vehicle going and subsequently slow it down.\n\n\nLeaving the car next to you in the dust when the traffic light turns green isn\u2019t even worth the bragging rights. It\u2019s dangerous driving and also consumes more fuel.\n\n\nAlways use gradual acceleration to pull away from a standstill as it consumes the least amount of fuel and will be less strenuous on the transmission in the long run.\n\n\n\n\nSkipping Periodic Maintenance or Not Using the Right Lubricants\n\n\nAt the end of the day, the transmission requires periodic maintenance just like most other components on the vehicle. Given the many types of automatic transmissions on the market (torque converter, dual-clutch transmission, CVT), it\u2019s a given that they will require different methods of maintenance as well as replacement parts.\n\n\nFor example, the clutch packs in a dry-type DCT might require replacement at a certain mileage while the wet-types won\u2019t. The benefit of the wet-type DCT is the reduced wear on the clutch packs from the constant circulation of oil. This is why regular changing of transmission fluid in-line with the recommended maintenance interval is crucial to ensure optimum performance.\n\n\nSkipping a few thousand kilometers might seem inconsequential but the damage could already be done. The fluids in the transmission loses its viscosity over time, meaning it can\u2019t lubricate as well. This could lead to increased friction and wear.\n\n\nThat said, you should also never use transmission fluids or filters that aren\u2019t of the recommended variety or worse, of unknown provenance. Just because you find a cheaper deal for it online, you can\u2019t be sure if the fluid is an imitation product that doesn\u2019t meet the official specifications.\n\n\nYou might save a few bucks in the short term but end up with a hefty repair bill in the long run. Remember, don\u2019t be penny wise and pound foolish.\n\n\nEssentially good driving habits, which include proper maintenance, will help prolong the lifespan of wear and tear components in the transmission and the vehicle as a whole.\n\n\nBuy CARSOME Certified for Peace of Mind\n\n\nHere at CARSOME, we believe in creating an end-to-end buying journey to eliminate the concerns common in a traditional used car buying experience. \nCARSOME Certified\n is the new standard of buying pre-owned cars backed up by our \n175-point inspection\n together with our \nCARSOME Certified Refurbishment Process\n.

A vibrating car is annoying as it takes away the comfort when you drive and leaves you with back pain and soreness, especially after a long drive.\n\n\n\n\nThere are several issues that can explain why the car is in such a state and it is also a common warning sign that might lead to a much bigger problem, if it is not resolved early. Here are some components that you should pay attention to when you experience excessive vibrations while driving.\n\n\nTires\n\n\nTake a look at your tires first. They are commonly the cause of a car vibrating when driven at high speeds, for a few\u00a0 reasons.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOut of Balance Tires\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen the vibrations start to pick up after you start speeding, your tires are probably unbalanced. You can easily confirm this by looking for flat spots on your tires. The good news is, rebalancing your tires could easily fix this issue if the damage to your tires is minimal. Unfortunately, if they have been severely damaged, you might have to replace them altogether.\u00a0\n\n\nTo get your tires rebalanced, take your car to a workshop and the mechanic will inspect your tires for spots with unusual tire wear. A calibrated weight will be added to the tire on the opposite side of the spot to counteract the imbalance. It only costs RM4-5 per tire for a rebalance so get your tires checked or you might end up having to spend a fortune to replace them.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnderinflated Tires\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWithout enough air in your tires, the pressure on your tires will not be exerted uniformly. This causes your car to vibrate while moving at high speeds. The misaligned rotation will throw off the balance of your tires, leading to an uncomfortable and hazardous driving experience.\n\n\nRemember to properly inflate your tires to avoid excessive vibrations while driving or even a blowout.\n\n\nRead more: \nWhat You Need to Know About Car Tires\n\n\nBrakes\n\n\nIf your car only vibrates when you brake to slow down, the vibrations might be caused by faulty parts in your brakes.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWarped Brake Rotors\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen your brake rotors constantly go through heavy braking, it will become warped due to overheating. This causes it to dig into brake pads and causes vibrations when the brake is applied. Warped brake rotors should be replaced immediately to avoid any dangerous incidents from happening while you drive in the future.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrake Caliper Sticking\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA faulty brake caliper may cause vibration in the brake pedal and steering wheel when you attempt to brake. This can easily be confirmed when you smell a distinct burning odor whenever the car comes to a stop. If left alone, the effectiveness of your brakes will be reduced and you will not have enough stopping power when braking.\n\n\nOnce you confirm that your brakes are not working as intended, it is really important to get it serviced and replaced immediately.\n\n\nSteering\n\n\nAnother possible main culprit to that has been causing the vibrating problem could also be the steering system.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPower Steering\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoes your car drive fine on a straight road but starts to vibrate when turning a corner? You might have an issue with your power steering. When this happens, check your power steering fluid reservoir to determine if there is a leak. The reservoir can be found in the engine bay but its location differs according to car brands, however you can locate it easily since the reservoir\u2019s cap is labeled with \u2018Power Steering Fluid\u2019.\n\n\nThe power steering system requires adequate fluid for smooth steering. Without it you will not be able to keep full control over your car and turning the car will be very difficult, hence the vibrations.\n\n\nYou might risk damaging your power steering system if you continue driving if there is a leak. Immediately send your car to a workshop so they can have a look at it and provide you with the necessary fix.\n\n\nSuspension\n\n\nNotice your car vibrating abnormally even when you are driving at a low to medium speed? This could point to an issue with your car\u2019s suspension system.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMisaligned Suspension System\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContinuously driving over hard bumps or potholes can cause your suspension to accumulate damage. Once the damage is too great, it\u2019ll cause your suspension to misalign which would result in a slight vibration on the steering wheel.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLoose & Worn Components\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMost of the time, the cause of your car vibrating lies in the tires, but sometimes it can also be caused by loose and worn-out components in your suspension system.\n\n\nExcessive wear and tear to components like the ball joints, control arm bushings, or bearings are the main cause for this and the vibrations you experience could be a warning that your suspension system is in trouble.\n\n\nTalk to your mechanic and get these components checked to make sure everything is connected properly and any worn out ones to be replaced.\n\n\nEngine\n\n\nAn engine that rattles could be a nightmare for car owners, especially if accompanied by intense vibration from the engine compartment. You might want to take a look at these components if you notice your engine is shaking more than usual during idle or when driven.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFaulty Spark Plugs\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpark plugs help start your car and keep it running by creating electricity to ignite the mixture of air and fuel in the combustion chamber so the engine\u2019s piston can get in motion as well as continue running. When you step on the accelerator or when you reach a certain speed and your car starts to shake violently, your spark plug might have lost its spark \u2013 it can no longer create electricity effectively.\n\n\nWith a worn out spark plug, the cylinders in your engine could misfire when it\u2019s running or idling. Check your spark plugs to see if they need to be replaced and take a look at the wiring as well to make sure everything is properly connected or if a replacement is needed.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFailing Timing Belt\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVarious critical components of the engine depend on the timing to run smoothly. A slight crack or tear on the timing belt can cause your car\u2019s engine to vibrate. If the timing belt is loose or damaged, a number of belt-driven components such as the fan and piston will not be able to function properly, which will result in violent vibrations and rattling sounds. Be sure to do a visual inspection on the belt to see if it needs to be replaced.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorn Out Motor Mounts\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMotor mounts are responsible for supporting the engine to make sure it stays snug in its compartment in the engine bay as well as absorbing shocks when the car is moving. When they are damaged or worn out, this causes the engine to vibrate excessively when your car is idling or being driven.\n\n\nRead more: \nCar Engine Overheating: Here Are the Causes & What to Do When It Happens\n\n\nBuy a CARSOME Certified Car for Peace of Mind\n\n\nWhatever the cause it may be, if a vibrating car is left unchecked it will threaten the endurance and safety of your car. You have to address the problem before any severe issue that could lead to an unfortunate circumstance arises.\n\n\nBe sure to get a qualified mechanic to diagnose the problem so they can let you know what is actually affecting your car and what you can do to fix it.\n\n\nBut if you are looking to buy a car, or upgrade from your current one, CARSOME offers quality pre-owned cars that have been thoroughly inspected and professionally refurbished beyond standards to ensure your peace of mind.

Although it\u2019s for a brief moment, some of these warning lights do appear depending on the situation. Knowing what they mean can help you identify certain issues should they arise during your drive. In this three-part series, we cover 30 of the most popular dashboard and car warning lights and indicators that you might find in your car. For part one, we look at the most basic and important indicators on most vehicles today.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBrake warning indicator\n\n\n\n\nThis usually comes on when your handbrake is in use. If it is not in use and still comes up during a drive, pull to the side safely. The light could mean one of a few things including a low brake fluid level, ABS problems, worn brake pads, or one or two brake lights have failed.\u00a0\n\n\nCheck engine light\n\n\n\n\nThe check engine light is part of the car\u2019s computer diagnostics system. It could mean an overheat, low oil pressure, loose gas cap, a mechanical issue or an issue that needs immediate attention. In this situation, have your car checked by a mechanic soonest possible.\n\n\nCoolant temperature\n\n\n\n\nThe coolant temperature warning light indicates an overheated engine due to several causes including a low coolant level, coolant system problems, or a possible leak in the system. In such an event, stop the vehicle at a safe area and open the bonnet to cool down the engine.\n\n\nBattery problems\n\n\n\n\nThe battery light indicator comes on to point towards a possible recharging system problem. This could mean a battery that fails to charge, or alternator issues. It is best to stop the car or drive to the closest mechanic soonest possible before the battery fails completely, and the car is rendered immobile.\u00a0\n\n\nOil pressure warning\n\n\n\n\nIf this light comes on during a drive, you will need to stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible. The light coming on is a sign of a defective oil pump or that your engine oil is low.\u00a0\n\n\nTire pressure warning\n\n\n\n\nFor vehicles equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), this warning comes probably once a month when the tire pressure goes below the recommended limit. Just ensure that you have your tires checked when the warning appears as there could be a flat.\n\n\nHigh beam indicator\n\n\n\n\nTurn these on for the brightest lights on your car. Depending on the vehicle, this indicator may be accompanied with the letter \u2018A\u2019 or the word \u2018Auto\u2019 which turns the system off when there is an oncoming vehicle from a distance.\n\n\nFront and rear fog lamps\n\n\n\n\nOften confused with the low beam indicator, the best way to tell them apart is with the wavy line to indicate light passing through a fog. The best way to tell apart the front and rear fog lamps is with the symbol\u2019s lines. If the wavy lines is to the left of the symbol, it is the front fog lamp. If the wavy lines is on the right, it is the rear fog lamps.\n\n\nAirbag indicator\n\n\n\n\nThis symbol may be illuminated with the words \u2018Airbag\u2019 or \u2018SRS\u2019 which stands for \u201csupplemental restraint system\u201d. If it comes on, it could indicate a problem with one of the many airbags in the vehicle. Get it checked at your nearest service center.\n\n\nVehicle stability control off indicator\n\n\n\n\nWhile this system may come in various names including Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and more, it shows that the system has been deactivated. What the system does is help the driver maintain control of the vehicle when a loss of control is detected.\u00a0\n\n\nWatch out for \npart 2\n of this article to know more about car warning lights and indicators!\n\n\nRead below for more stories\n\n\nLet \nCARSOME\n Insights 2019 tell you \nwhen is the best time to buy or sell a used car\n.\n\n\nWhat are the \nmost popular car colors in Malaysia\n?\n\n\nLearn more about \n5 of the 175-inspection points at Carsome\n!\n\n\nSelling your car doesn\u2019t have to be complicated.

In part two, we cover symbols often seen in more advanced vehicle systems.\n\n\nBrake hold indicator\n\n\n\n\nThe brake hold indicator comes on to indicate that the system is applying the brakes automatically at a full stop. This feature is useful when driving at inclines, preventing the vehicle from rolling backwards when the brake pedal is lifted. The system releases automatically when the accelerator is pressed.\n\n\nAutomatic shift lock indicator\n\n\n\n\nCommonly found on most vehicles today, the automatic shift lock indicator illuminates to inform the driver that the brakes need to be depressed to start the engine or to get the gear it out of neutral.\n\n\nAuto start-stop indicator\n\n\nImage credit: BMW.com\n\n\nOn vehicles with auto start-stop systems, the system stops the engine at intervals to provide better fuel economy. The system by default will not be active when the engine has not reached the operating temperature. Should the driver want to, the system can be manually switched off or on.\n\n\nBlind spot information system\n\n\nImage credit: Citroen.com.mt\n\n\nOften seen on the vehicle\u2019s wing mirrors, the blind spot information system (BLIS) indicator monitors vehicles behind the left and right side during a drive. The system will illuminate and warn the driver should there be an oncoming vehicle not visible to the driver\u2019s view.\n\n\nCruise control system\n\n\nImage credit: Renault.com.tr\n\n\nJust like the speed limiter symbol seen above, the system allows the driver to set a constant speed during a drive. The feature switches off automatically when the brake pedal is depressed.\n\n\nSpeed limiter system\n\n\nImage credit: Renault.com.tr\n\n\nSometimes indicated with the letters LIM or possibly other symbols depending on the vehicle manufacturer, the speed limiter is good for driving on roads with strict road speed limits. When set, the system prevents the vehicle from accelerating beyond the set speed.\n\n\nLow brake fluid indicator\n\n\n\n\nDo get your vehicle checked soonest possible when this indicator appears. It means that your brake fluid levels are low, and they do drop further when your brakepads wear out. Drive to the nearest service center to get it checked.\n\n\nLow coolant level indicator\n\n\n\n\nDepending on the vehicle, this indicator is to warn the driver of a low coolant level. While it could be a faulty sensor, without sufficient coolant in the system, the engine will overheat and cause significant problems. Do get it checked at your nearest service center.\n\n\nOverdrive off indicator\n\n\n\n\nThe overdrive button usually located on your gear lever is to disable the highest gear. Doing so is useful when it comes to descending a mountainous road or climbing a hill to maintain the gear from upshifting.\n\n\nLow windshield washer fluid indicator\n\n\n\n\nNot all vehicles may have this indicator, but it is to alert the driver that the windshield washer fluid is low.\n\n\nWatch out for part 3 of this article!\n\n\nRead below for more stories!\n\n\nFind out more about \nPart 1 of car warning lights and indicators here\n!\n\n\nYour car tires are more important than you think. \nClick here\n for basic knowledge on car tires all car owners should know!\n\n\nLearn more about \ncar batteries, the myths, and how to improve its lifespan\n.\n\n\nSelling your car is now easy and straightforward.

In part three, we dive deep into indicators seen in diesel, four-wheel drive, and modern vehicles with active safety systems.\n\n\nAdaptive cruise control indicator\n\n\nImage credit: Parkers.co.uk\n\n\nYou might recognize part of this indicator which comes from the Cruise Control symbol from \nPart 2\u2019s list\n. The adaptive cruise control indicator is sometimes represented by the letters ACC and works in the same way as standard cruise control does. The difference comes from the radar sensor located at the front of the vehicle that adjusts the speed should the vehicle in front slows down.\n\n\nDriver attention monitor\n\n\nImage credit: Autoblog.com\n\n\nThis indicator is represented by the coffee cup. The system notifies the driver if it detects steering input is lost or diminished; indicating that the driver is drowsy or losing focus on the road./\n\n\nPower steering warning\n\n\n\n\nUsually, when this comes up, it is to inform the driver that the vehicle is lower on power steering fluid. Do check on fluid levels and top it off if necessary. As for modern vehicles with electric power steering, this symbol may be represented with the letters EPS (Electric Power Steering). If this happens, try to restart the engine as it may be an error. Should it continue, you may need to contact your service center to troubleshoot the warning.\n\n\nParking assist indicator\n\n\nImage credit: Skoda-auto.com\n\n\nModern cars with driver assistance systems have all-round sensors to help with parking in tight spaces. The system will warn audibly or have a camera system to show the distance between the vehicle and its surrounding.\n\n\nLane departure warning\n\n\nImage credit: Gmauthority.com\n\n\nVehicle safety is more important than ever as manufacturers include safety systems to improve driver habits. With the use of a camera to detect line markings on the road, this system warns the driver via sound, audible warnings or even steering vibrations that he or she has exited the lane without using the turn signal.\n\n\nCenter differential lock indicator\n\n\nImage credit: Bestcarinf.com\n\n\nThis feature on some 4\u00d74 vehicles allows the driver to lock the center differential so that the vehicle\u2019s wheels move in unison. This is especially useful when the wheels are stuck in mud or driving in rough terrain.\n\n\nRear differential lock indicator\n\n\nImage credit: Clubfrontier.org\n\n\nLike the system above, the rear differential lock focuses specifically on the rear wheels as opposed to all wheels. Understanding when to use the right differential lock is also important, as it may cause damage to the drivetrain depending on road conditions.

Modern diesel vehicles are fitted with a particulate filter to capture larger particles. Over time, the filter may clog up and reduce your vehicle\u2019s performance. To combat this, particle levels are monitored, and the indicator lights up to inform the driver to \u201cregenerate\u201d the filter by driving over 60 km/h for about 10 minutes to clear it up. Should the indicator continue to light up after extended periods, do head to your nearest service center to get it checked.\n\n\nGlow plug indicator\n\n\nImage credit: forums.tdiclub.com\n\n\nAs diesel engines do not have spark plugs, the engine will require heating up to help start the engine.

However, just like other parts of your engine, the water pump can fail, and when that happens, your car could suffer from reduced performance or even stop functioning. Fortunately, the symptoms of a car water pump failure are fairly easy to spot if you know what to look out for.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat Is a Water Pump?\n\n\nThe water pump in your car functions to pump the coolant into the engine and radiator so the engine remains at a safe and stable temperature while driving. When the water pump fails, there may be insufficient coolant running through the engine causing it to run too hot and overheat. This can lead to the failure of the engine gasket, cylinder head, and other components. If left unfixed, your engine could get so damaged that it requires an \noverhaul\n.\n\n\n5 Car Water Pump Failure Symptoms You Should Know\n\n\nA car water pump can last for 100,000 to 150,000 kilometers and is generally changed when you replace your timing belt. However, like all mechanical components, it can fail before its time if you don\u2019t regularly maintain your cooling system. By paying attention to the condition of your water pump, you can ensure that it functions properly and prevent damage to your engine. To help you do just that, here are five signs of water pump failure.\n\n\n1. Leaking Radiator Coolant\n\n\nThe water pump in your car has gaskets that properly seal the pump ensuring a consistent coolant flow. However, the gaskets can dry up over time causing them to crack, break, or wear out. When this happens, the coolant can leak from under the water pump, usually at the center front end of your car.\n\n\nIf you notice a leak under your car, it\u2019s worth getting it checked immediately as it\u2019s one of the symptoms of water pump failure. Do note that coolant can come in various colors such as green, yellow, and blue, so it helps if you know the color of your coolant so you can identify it if there\u2019s a leak.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nWhat Is a Car Alternator & the Signs That It Is Failing\n\n\n2. Deposit or Corrosion on the Water Pump and Engine Bay\n\n\nOne symptom of water pump failure is the formation of deposits on your water pump and the surrounding components. Deposits can form when small leaks on your water pump go unnoticed and the leaking coolant dries on surfaces after a long period of time. If left for too long, there can even be corrosion on the water pump and surrounding surfaces.\n\n\nHaving corrosion on or around the radiator is also a sign that there\u2019s an issue with your water pump and cooling system. If you notice deposits or corrosion, it could mean that you have a non-compatible or dirty engine coolant, mineral buildup in the cooling system, or air entering through a defective radiator pressure cap.\u00a0\n\n\nTo identify these issues before it\u2019s too late, it\u2019s recommended to inspect your engine bay every now and then to make sure there are no deposits or corrosion.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Loose Timing Belt & Squealing Noises\n\n\nMost car water pumps are driven by a timing belt. When the timing belt becomes loose, there could be a squealing noise from the water pump and belt while the engine is running. A loose timing belt can be caused by a worn-out pulley, axle, or bearing in the water pump, and typically requires a water pump replacement. Additionally, a loose timing belt can cause your check engine light to come on and create a rougher ride. If you notice any of these signs, you should get your car inspected by a mechanic immediately.\n\n\nRead More: \nHow to Check the 6 Essential Car Oils & Fluids\n\n\n4. Engine Overheating\n\n\nYour car\u2019s water pump\u2019s primary function is to cool down the engine. When it fails, it won\u2019t be able to effectively pump the coolant around the cooling system which can cause the engine to overheat. Driving with an engine that runs too hot impacts the performance of your car and could cause expensive damage to the engine. Plus, it\u2019s also dangerous as your engine could burst into flames. If your engine temperature gauge frequently goes above normal temperature or if the engine temperature \nwarning light\n comes on, it\u2019s a sure sign to get your car checked.\u00a0\n\n\n5. White Smoke from the Radiator\n\n\nAnother symptom of water pump failure is when your radiator starts spewing out steam or white smoke. This happens when your engine is overheating, thus turning the coolant into steam. If steam comes out of the engine while you\u2019re driving, immediately stop your car at a safe location, let the engine cool down, and try to get a mechanic. If necessary, get a tow truck to tow your car to the nearest workshop.\n\n\n\n\nWhat Are the Causes of Water Pump Failure?\n\n\nA water pump is an essential component of your engine and generally lasts years before needing a replacement. However, there are factors that can damage it and cause it to fail. Here are the most common causes of water pump failure.\n\n\n\n\nLow pressure in the cooling system which affects the operation of the water pump. This is usually caused by a faulty radiator pressure cap, leaking hose, clogged radiator, compromised seals, and low fluid levels.\n\n\nWorn out or cracked seal in the water pump which can cause leaks.\n\n\nTiming belt that is too tight which can exert excessive pressure on the water pump\u2019s shaft and bearings. This can cause the water pump components to break.\n\n\nIncorrect coolant water mixture or contaminated coolant which can cause deposits in the water pump.\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nHow CARSOME Certified Lab Refurbishes Pre-owned Cars\n\n\nHow Much Does It Cost to Replace a Car Water Pump?\n\n\nIf you notice any of the symptoms mentioned above, be sure to get your car checked by your mechanic as soon as possible. By taking early steps to fix issues with your water pump and cooling system, you can prevent other components from failing and save yourself a lot of trouble.\u00a0\n\n\nCompared to other repairs you may need to do, replacing your car\u2019s water pump is fairly affordable. You can find original equipment manufacturer (OEM) \nPerodua Myvi\n water pumps ranging from RM65 to RM100 while an original Perodua Myvi water pump generally costs RM200 and above. These prices do not include the labor cost of replacing the pump which starts from RM100. The price of a water pump varies according to several factors including the engine size, car age, model, and more.\n\n\nChoose CARSOME for Peace of Mind\n\n\nWhen you buy a \nCARSOME Certified car\n, you can rest assured that you\u2019re getting a car that has safety beyond standards, complete comfort, and refurbished aesthetics.

While these procedures seem trivial and are sometimes neglected by vehicle owners, they are actually crucial to a vehicle\u2019s tire and suspension health. Let\u2019s take a look at what is involved during wheel alignment and balancing, and also why they\u2019re important.\n\n\n\n\nWhat is Wheel Alignment?\n\n\nA car wheel alignment refers to the adjustment to the vehicle\u2019s suspension system so the angle between the suspension and wheels are correctly aligned. This is so the \ntires\n are able to make optimum contact with the road surface, ensuring a safe and comfortable drive. When adjusting the wheel alignment, a mechanic will adjust the vehicle\u2019s suspension to change three things \u2013 the wheel camber, toe, and caster. Here is what each of these mean:\n\n\n1. Camber\u00a0\n\n\nThis refers to the inward or outward angle of the tire when viewed from the front of the car. Too much negative camber (inward tilt) or positive camber (outward tilt) is a sign that the wheel alignment needs to be adjusted. Some things that can cause camber misalignment are worn ball joints, bushings, bearings, and other suspension parts. Improper camber can cause the tires to wear out faster on one edge and even cause the vehicle to pull to one side while driving.\n\n\n2. Toe\u00a0\n\n\nThis refers to how much your tires angle inward or outward when viewed from above the car. Toe-in alignment occurs when the tires are angled inwards, while toe-out alignment is when the tires are angled outwards away from the vehicle. Improper toe alignment can cause difficulty in turning or taking sharp corners, as well as reduce a vehicle\u2019s stability when driving at high speed.\n\n\n3. Caster\u00a0\n\n\nWhen viewed from the side of your vehicle, you can picture caster as a vertical axis (line) that runs straight through the center of your front wheels. You can also imagine it as the line from the top of the suspension to where it meets the wheel. The caster angle refers to the top to bottom angle of this line.\u00a0\n\n\nA zero/neutral caster is when the center of the wheel is positioned directly below the suspension mount. With a positive caster, the center of the wheel is positioned in front of the suspension mount and away from the driver. On the other hand, a negative caster is when the center of the wheel is positioned behind the suspension mount and closer to the driver. In general, a positive caster is desirable as it improves straight-line stability at speed as well as handling.\n\n\nSigns of Improper Wheel Alignment\n\n\nImproper wheel alignment can cause a number of issues including uneven tire wear. However, it can also put extra strain on your car\u2019s suspension and steering components, thus affecting the handling. If the wear and tear are easily observable, they\u2019ll also speed up the depreciation of your \ncar\u2019s value\n. Here are some signs that your car may need a wheel alignment.\n\n\n1. Uneven and excessive tire wear\n\n\nIf your wheel alignment is off, it could cause the tires on your car to rotate off-center which creates uneven friction between the tires and the road surface. As a result, your tires will develop excessive wear patterns on different parts of their surfaces. Misalignment can also cause one or more tires to wear out faster than the others. This not only incurs extra cost since you have to replace your tires earlier but is also dangerous since worn tires have reduced grip on the road.\n\n\n2. Vibrating steering wheel\n\n\nAnother sign that your wheels could be misaligned is if your steering wheel vibrates at high speeds. Misaligned wheels tend to not rotate unevenly, and this causes increased vibrations to travel up to the steering wheel. If the vibrations in your steering wheel are severe, it could be a sign that other serious issues such as a tire blowout or suspension problems are soon to follow.\n\n\n3. Car pulling to one side\n\n\nIf your car pulls to one side while you\u2019re trying to drive straight down a road, it means you have some kind of an alignment issue. The pulling effect can vary in severity but if left unchecked, it can get worse and even result in suspension-related problems.\n\n\nRead More: \n5 Reasons Your Car Breaks Down\n\n\n\n\nWhat is Wheel Balancing\n\n\nMost wheels do not have perfect weight distribution throughout their structure. During wheel balancing, your mechanic will check your wheels for any heavy spots and install a measured weight on the opposite side of the heavy spot to compensate for the imbalance. Unlike wheel alignment, the wheels are always removed from the car during balancing and balanced on a wheel balancer which checks for both static (non-moving) and dynamic (moving) balance.\n\n\nWhy Should You Balance Your Wheels?\n\n\nWheel balancing is important because wheels can lose their balance over time due to road conditions, existing tread wear, and uneven weight distribution on your vehicle. Any imbalance in your wheels can have a negative impact on the way your car drives, especially at high speeds. Wheel balancing ensures that the weight distribution on your tire and wheel assembly is perfectly balanced, thus eliminating vibrations when you drive. This ensures a smooth and comfortable ride as well as prevents excessive tire wear. Here are some signs that you have an imbalance in your wheels:\n\n\n\n\nTire noise\n\n\nVibrations in the steering wheel and problems with steering\n\n\nVibrations in the seat or floor\n\n\nUneven and fast tire wear\n\n\n\n\nWhen Should You Get Wheel Alignment and Balancing Done?\n\n\nBalancing is generally performed in conjunction with a wheel alignment, at about every 10,000 kilometers or when you take your car in for a scheduled \nservice\n. Wheel alignment and balancing are also done when you buy new tires. Having misaligned and imbalanced wheels will not only reduce the ride comfort in your car but could also cause accidents if they affect the steering and suspension components. So if you notice any of the signs mentioned above, be sure to get them checked.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking to \nbuy a used car\n that\u2019s free from wheel alignment and balancing issues, do check out CARSOME.

If your car has been going through a dry spell of sitting too long on your porch, you might have issues with the car won\u2019t start when you need it to. Even if you\u2019re not going anywhere, it is actually beneficial to start and leave your car idle from time to time to make sure all the vital components are still working. Here are the main causes your car won\u2019t start:\n\n\nDead Battery\u00a0\n\n\nDid you know that your car can drain its battery even if it has been sitting unused for a long time? Even when parked, electrical components like its internal clock, computers, and alarm system continue to run albeit on minimal capacity standing by. While this is perfectly normal on all vehicles, another way battery drain occurs is when the rubber casing on the electrical wires gets worn out and exposed, causing power consumption from the battery higher than usual. This term is known as \nparasitic drain\n on our vehicles.\u00a0\n\n\nOne way you can test out a dead battery at home is with a multimeter. It can be bought from any hardware store. If the cause of your car is the dead battery, you may need to find someone with a running car and some jumper cables to jump-start it. Jump-starting your vehicle is \nfairly easy\n as long as you have the proper tools for it. Furthermore, a dead battery that makes your car crank but won\u2019t start is usually where most of the problem lies.\n\n\nRead More: \nKeep Yourself Safe With These Items From Car Accessory Stores\n\n\nFaulty fuel pump\u00a0\n\n\nFuel pumps as the name imply supply fuel to your engine in order for combustion to happen. That\u2019s because \nmodern fuel injection systems\n operate under high pressure that needs constant maintenance. Currently, there are two types of fuel pumps available in the market \u2013 Mechanical and Electrical Pumps. The difference between the two is \u2013 mechanical pumps rely on moving parts to pump fuel into the engine while the other uses electric-powered pumps.\u00a0\n\n\nIn older cars, mechanical pumps are more prevalent but auto manufacturers are transitioning to electrical ones on more modern vehicles. The downside of electrical fuel pumps is they are more sophisticated than mechanical ones and are harder to diagnose. Moreover, electrical pumps have too much wiring and small motors to take apart if it needs servicing. If your fuel pump is found to be faulty, consider changing to a mechanical one as \nthey are more reliable\n. \nThe first sign of a soon-to-be-malfunctioning fuel pump would be hard starts or none on your vehicle, or there\u2019s a Check Engine light on your dashboard.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nWhen to Replace Your Fuel Pump\n\n\nDust Accumulation in Air Filter\n\n\nDust can also do a number to your vehicle. A \nclogged air filter\n is going to give your engine a rough start as fresh air is needed for fuel combustion to happen in the engine. Often, you can hear the engine misfire, rough idling, and hard starts happen when dirt and dust get mixed together with your fuel. If the filter isn\u2019t clean or replaced, soot will form and accumulate on the spark plug, prompting even more, heftier replacement parts on your vehicle!\u00a0\n\n\nYour vehicle\u2019s air filters are easily located in the engine bay after opening the bonnet. Depending on the manufacturer, they\u2019ll come in either a flat-board-like design or a cone-like shape. Fortunately, air filters are easier to replace and clean. When performing basic maintenance at home, do give your vehicle\u2019s air filter a deep clean from time to time. Make sure the filter and vehicle are \ncold enough\n before you start cleaning.\n\n\nCar Won\u2019t Start Due to a Faulty Starter Relay\n\n\nAnother factor to check if your car crank but won\u2019t start is due to a faulty starter relay. It is an ignition system designed to send power from the car battery to the car\u2019s solenoid. Once activated, it turns a shaft that carries a small pinion wheel that engages the flywheel, then the car is started. A failed starter relay can be attributed to the electrical motor getting short-circuited from exposed battery wiring, corroded circuits, wet relays, or simply old wiring that needs to be replaced.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you hear audible rapid clicks coming from the engine, it\u2019s a sign that the starter relay isn\u2019t being engaged by the key or push-start ignition, or it could simply be just a dead car battery. A starter relay is also fairly simple to \ndiagnose at home\n;\n all you need is a test light or test pen. The starter relay is usually located around the positive terminal of the car battery. Look out for a fuse box where cables and wires are plugged in. Then, make contact with the test pen while having someone else start the car. The test pen lights up if it\u2019s really the fault of a damaged starter relay.\u00a0\n\n\nExpired Gas in Your Gas Tank\n\n\nThe average lifespan of a vehicle\u2019s gas is usually up to a month. When your car is left sitting for a month, it could be the fault of the \nremaining gas inside the tank\n. If gas is left sitting for too long, the octane mixed in the gas will start degrading. Octane mixed in the fuel is what makes our gas combustible and also makes it volatile. Hence in Malaysia, RON97 is preferred by high-performance vehicles as it is a high-octane fuel.\u00a0\n\n\nGenerally, \ncars can still run on old gas\n if the vehicle can still be started. However, you won\u2019t be getting much performance out of your fuel. In addition, old fuel can damage your engine from prolonged usage. If you have a car that has been sitting for too long, consider siphoning the old gas that has been left sitting in the vehicle and top it off with fresh gas.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nDo Engine Oil Treatment & Fuel Additives Really Work?

Setelah terbukti saman tersebut dikeluarkan sebelum bertukar nama, anda tidak perlu membayar saman bagi pihak pemilik lama.\n\n\nNamun begitu, jika anda membeli kereta terpakai secara ansuran daripada kenalan anda, anda mungkin perlu berbincang dengan kenalan anda untuk menjelaskan saman tersebut untuk mengelakkan anda daripada tidak boleh memperbaharui cukai jalan.

Is the score determined by Bank Negara Malaysia\u2019s Central Credit Reference Information System (CCRIS)?\n\n\nA credit score is a single score that represents how good your credit health is. It is the most reliable way for you to tell how good your financial standing is, and it also gives you an indication of whether a bank will approve your applications for loans or cards.\n\n\nThere are many things that you may think affect your score that actually doesn\u2019t. Here are some of the most common credit score myths:\n\n\n\n\n1. My Age Determines My Credit Score\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMYTH\n\n\nFACT\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe younger I am, the lower my score will be.\n\n\nAge does not matter when calculating a credit score. Your credit score depends on various factors, such as payment history, credit mix and loan balance, length of credit history, new credit applications, and legal track record.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAge is not a consideration when you take a look at the breakdown of credit scoring. You may think that the younger you are, your credit score will be lower. In reality, it is not your age that matters, it is how well you manage your credits.\n\n\nFor example, using a \ncredit card\n and paying the bill in full every month can help you establish a healthy credit score even if you are young.\n\n\n2. My Spouse\u2019s Credit Score Affects Mine\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMYTH\n\n\nFACT\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMy credit score will take a hit if my spouse\u2019s score is poor.\n\n\nA credit score is based on individual assessment, not as a couple.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf your partner had financial difficulties in the past, don\u2019t let that stop you from marrying him or her! Your personal credit score will not be affected by your spouse\u2019s bad credit.\n\n\nHowever, when filling for joint credit, such as getting a joint \nhome loan\n, your joint score may be lower than your personal score and affect your ability to secure the loan.\n\n\n3. Avoiding Debt Altogether Keeps My Credit Score Healthy\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMYTH\n\n\nFACT\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMy credit score will be better if I am debt-free.\n\n\nYou actually need debt to establish your credit score.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhile living a debt-free life sounds like a good idea, it can actually make it harder to secure a loan when you need to. When creditors look for experience with debt management, they want to see that you can make consistent and on-time payments each month. It is to show that you are good at managing debts before they can decide to issue you the credit or loan. Having a history of doing so is the key to proving this.\n\n\nIt\u2019s alright to have debts. If you are capable of paying all your debts on time, it won\u2019t pose a problem to your credit score.\n\n\n4. You Only Need To Check Your Credit Score Once\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMYTH\n\n\nFACT\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI only need to check my credit score once.\n\n\nIt is advisable to check your credit score every three months.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne important portion that makes up your credit score is your credit history. This is one area that can easily impact your credit score, but it is also the area that you can quickly improve on. The information used in this section is generated from your \nCentral Credit Reference Information System (CCRIS) report\n.\n\n\nTherefore, your credit score will change over time as you improve on your payments. It could also get worse if you miss any! To be on top of your financial health, it is recommended to check your credit score once a year.\n\n\n5. Paying Off A Negative Record Means It Is Taken Off My Credit Report\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMYTH\n\n\nFACT\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe late or previously defaulted payment(s) will be immediately removed from my credit report once I have updated my payment(s).\n\n\nYour credit report, which your credit score is based on, stores your credit record for up to 12 months.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour credit report records up to one year of your credit history. Clearing off a debt does not mean negative credit records such as late payments are deleted from your credit report. They will be indicated as \u201cpaid\u201d instead.\n\n\nYour credit score considers your CCRIS report when computing a score. You can expect the negative record to have some effect until it is no longer shown in your report.\n\n\n6. If I Pay Off My Credit Card Balances On Time Each Month, I Will Have A Perfect Credit Score\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMYTH\n\n\nFACT\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA perfect credit score is guaranteed if you make prompt payment(s).\n\n\nYour payment history makes up 40% of your credit score only. There are also other factors considered in the computation of your score.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt is always encouraged that you pay off your credit card balances in full and on time each month. However, it does not necessarily secure an excellent credit score for you. Other factors are taken into consideration. Factors like your credit mix, credit utilization, credit history, legal track record, length of credit history, and if you are using too much of your credit limit.\n\n\nIf you charged RM9,000 on a card with a RM10,000 limit, your score will still reflect that you\u2019re using 90% of your available credit, even if you make payment promptly. Comparatively, if you charged RM5,000 on the same card, your score reflects that you\u2019re using only half of your available credit. You can offset this by \nrequesting for higher limits\n or using several different cards to pay bills each month.\n\n\nThe lower your debt-to-credit ratio is, the better your credit score will be.\n\n\n7. A Low Credit Score Affects My Credit Forever\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMYTH\n\n\nFACT\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA low credit score destroys my financial standing forever.\n\n\nYour credit score is based on your credit history of the last 12 months. Over time, you can improve your credit score by managing your debts effectively.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour credit score is not permanent and changes according to the progress of your credit management. Do what it takes to get healthy credit, and you will be offered better rates for your loans. Negative credit records in the past will matter less in time, as long as you are maintaining a higher score.\n\n\n8. Closing Credit Accounts Improves My Credit Score\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMYTH\n\n\nFACT\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClosing accounts that have already been paid in full will improve my credit score.\n\n\nTypically, closing your accounts may make your credit history seem shorter, hence hurting your credit score.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter paying off a \ncredit card debt\n, you may think that it\u2019s better to close the account. However, that move can actually hurt your credit score, because creditors look for experience with long-held accounts. If you have had that credit card for a long time, consider having it even after you paid it off, because it reflects well on your ability to manage credit over time.\n\n\n9. Lowering My Credit Limit Elevates My Credit Record\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMYTH\n\n\nFACT\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLowering my credit limit improves my credit score.\n\n\nLowering your credit limit increases the chances of hurting your credit score, as it becomes easier to utilize too much of your credit.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThinking of lowering your credit limit because you fear you might overspend and rack up a huge bill? Think again. By lowering your credit limit, you can hurt your credit score. You appear more credit-worthy if you are using only a small portion of your overall available credit, or having a low credit utilization ratio.\n\n\nIn fact, if your total debt on a card approaches the credit limit level, then your score is negatively affected. However, beware \u2013 having a high credit limit can tempt you to charge more on your card, so self-control is vital here.\n\n\n10. Amount Of Interest Paid On The Credit Accounts Affects My Credit Score\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMYTH\n\n\nFACT\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHigh interest rates are bad for my credit score.\n\n\nThe interest rates are insignificant to your credit score.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe amount of interest that you are paying on remaining balances for your credit accounts does not affect your score.\n\n\nA proven record of sound financial behavior and time will have the most significant impact on your score. It is wise to pay your bills on time, work to lower your debts, and ask that any inaccuracies be corrected.\n\n\nUnderstanding the real truth behind credit score myths will take you a long way in acquiring excellent scoring on your credit management. So, take time to take care of your credit score, and you will thank yourself when it is time to secure a big loan!\n\n\nThis article was originally published on \niMoney.my\n.\n\n", "Devan S\nDevan believes written content is here to stay despite our depleting attention span and the rise of short videos.

Tayar ganti? Cermin depan? Nombor plat? Apa yang anda periksa tu sebenarnya dah betul, tetapi sebenarnya anda dah tertinggal nak periksa satu lagi benda paling penting yang boleh menyelamatkan nyawa anda iaitu first aid kit ataupun peti kecemasan.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda beli kereta baharu, peti kecemasan (1si aid kit) ini kebiasaan akan didatangkan sekali beserta aksesori lain. Kalau anda membeli kereta pramilik, berkemungkinan peti kecemasan ini tidak ada sekali dan anda harus membelinya sendiri.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJangan anda abaikan peti kecemasan ini! Peti kecemasan ini boleh menyelamatkan nyawa seseorang jika anda tahu menggunakannya dengan betul.\u00a0\n\n\nTapi macam mana nak gunakan peti kecemasan dengan betul? Dahlah dalam itu ada banyak sangat peralatan, balutan, dan ubatan yang anda sendiri tak tahu. Tak mengapa, kali ini kami bantu anda untuk kenal peti kecemasan serta peralatan yang ada di dalamnya.\u00a0\n\n\nApa Yang Ada Dalam \nfirst aid kit\n/Peti Kecemasan?\u00a0\n\n\n1. Sarung Tangan Getah\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda merawat luka yang berdarah, adalah lebih baik untuk anda memakai sarung tangan getah perubatan. Ini antara sebabnya:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMengelakkan jangkitan daripada tangan anda. Tangan anda bukannya sentiasa bersih jadi penggunaan sarung tangan getah boleh mengurangkan jangkitan silang daripada bakteria pada tangan anda kepada luka yang sedang anda rawat.\u00a0\n\n\nMengelakkan jangkitan daripada mangsa. Mungkin anda akan merawat mangsa yang anda tidak kenal. Anda tak tahu apa penyakit yang mangsa ada. Mungkin penyakit berjangkit yang boleh berpindah kepada anda jika anda tak ambil langkah-langkah keselamatan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Plaster Luka\u00a0\n\n\nLuka kecil ialah kemalangan yang paling biasa dan kerap berlaku. Apabila luka terjadi disebabkan apa-apa kemalangan, anda tak digalakkan untuk membiarkan luka tersebut terdedah. Lebih elok kalau anda tampalkan luka tersebut menggunakan plaster luka yang ada di dalam peti kecemasan.\n\n\n\n\nCara nak guna pun mudah, pastikan kawasan luka tersebut telah dibersihkan dengan sapuan alkohol. Kemudian bolehlah lekatkan plaster luka dengan bahagian yang berkain ditekapkan terus pada kawasan luka.\u00a0\n\n\nPlaster luka ini ada pelbagai saiz. Jadi pilihlah saiz yang bersesuaian dengan luka yang ada. Pastikan juga plaster ini ditukar selang beberapa jam.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Kain Kasa \n(Gauze)\n\u00a0\n\n\nKadang-kadang berlaku juga luka yang agak besar dan plaster luka saja tak mencukupi untuk menutup luka yang ada. Untuk itu, anda memerlukan kain kasa ataupun \ngauze.\n Kain kasa ini didapati dalam dua bentuk iaitu yang sudah dipotong segi empat ataupun dalam bentuk gulungan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSelain digunakan untuk menutup kawasan luka, kain kasa ini juga boleh digunakan untuk menghentikan pendarah teruk. Caranya mudah. Ambil kain kasa dan pastikan anda ambil bilangan yang cukup. Kemudian anda boleh terus tekan pada luka pendarahan.\u00a0\n\n\nTeknik ini dinamakan \u2018\ndirect pressure\n\u2019 atau tekanan terus. Jika dibuat dengan betul, ia boleh menyelamatkan nyawa mereka yang cedera teruk.\u00a0\n\n\nKain kasa juga boleh digunakan untuk mengelap darah, menyapu cecair alkohol pada luka atau menyapu larutan ubat kuning pada luka.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Anduh\u00a0\n\n\nAnduh merupakan kain berbentuk segi tiga. Ia adalah satu peralatan yang paling versatil dan boleh digunakan untuk pelbagai tujuan. Kain anduh kebiasaan digunakan untuk menyokong anggota badan yang cedera.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBiasanya kain anduh digunakan untuk menggantungkan tangan yang cedera pada bahu. Pastikan puncak kain anduh dihalakan pada siku tangan yang cedera manakala kedua hujung kain diikat pada bahu mangsa. Tangan pula diletakkan di dalam gelungan kain yang terbentuk.\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gktf2RMGmlo\n\n\nIa juga boleh digunakan untuk mengikat splin pada anggota yang tercedera seperti kaki atau pergelangan tangan. Selain, ia juga boleh digunakan untuk membalut luka menggantikan kain kasa.\u00a0\n\n\n5. Pita Pembedahan (\nSurgical Tape\n)\n\n\nPita pembedahan (\nsurgical tape\n) merupakan sejenis pelekat yang tidak menyebabkan kerengsaan kepada kulit. Pita pembedahan digunakan untuk melekatkan kain kasa pada luka yang tidak serius.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAnda jangan pula lekatkan pita ini terus pada luka kerana ia boleh menyebabkan luka bertambah teruk! Jadi, gunakannya dengan betul untuk memberi kelegaan kepada mangsa.\u00a0\n\n\n6. Sapuan Alkohol/Cecair Alkohol\u00a0\n\n\nAlkohol dalam peti kecemasan boleh ditemukan dalam dua bentuk. Pertama dalam bentuk sapuan yang siap dipaketkan. Keduanya adalah dalam bentuk botol kecil. Alkohol ini fungsinya untuk membersihkan dan mensanitasikan luka daripada kekotoran.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSelepas dibersihkan dengan alkohol, luka tersebut boleh dibalut dengan kain kasa atau balutan \ncrepe\n.\u00a0\n\n\n7. Krim Panas\u00a0\n\n\nKrim panas atau analgesik ini boleh digunakan untuk meredakan kesakitan otot dan sendi. Andai kata anda terpaksa memandu jauh dan bahu anda terasa lenguh, anda boleh sapukan krim ini pada bahu atau anggota badan yang terasa lenguh.\u00a0\n\n\nJangan gunakan krim ini pada mereka yang terseliuh kerana ia boleh menyebabkan kecederaan menjadi lebih teruk dan kesakitan teruk kepada mangsa. Selain itu, jangan gunakan krim ini pada luka. Anda tak nak menahan sakit luka dan juga panas pada masa yang sama!\n\n\n8. Losyen@Krim Kalamin \n(Calamine)\n\n\nLosyen atau krim kalamin \n(calamine) \nini biasanya digunakan untuk merawat masalah kegatalan yang disebabkan oleh pelbagai punca. Antaranya seperti ruam panas, gigitan serangga, ataupun melecet.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSapukan saja pada anggota yang gatal dan biarkan ia kering. Pastikan permukaan kulit bersih sebelum losyen ini disapu.\u00a0\n\n\n9. Paracetamol (Panadol, Uphamol, dan Lain-lain Jenama)\n\n\nIni ialah ubat penahan sakit yang paling biasa dan paling selamat. Ia juga boleh didapati dengan mudah dan murah di kedai farmasi. Ia boleh digunakan untuk merawat demam, sakit kepala, pening kepala, dan juga migrain.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: Kosmo Digital\n\n\nTetapi, ubat ini haruslah diambil dengan dos yang betul. Paracetamol boleh diambil dua biji (1000mg) sekali makan. Ia boleh diambil selang empat hingga enam jam. Pengambilannya tidak boleh melebihi lapan biji dalam tempoh 24 jam. Ini adalah dos untuk dewasa.\u00a0\n\n\n10. Ubat Tahan Sakit (Painkiller)\n\n\nSelain paracetamol, peti kecemasan anda juga boleh dilengkapi dengan ubat penahan sakit yang lain seperti asid mefenamik \n(mefenamic acid)\n atau lebih kita kenali sebagai Ponstan (jenama). Ia biasanya digunakan untuk sakit yang teruk seperti sakit gigi ataupun untuk senggugut.\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nKalau ada mangsa yang terseliuh, ubat ini juga boleh diberikan untuk mengurangkan sakit akibat kecederaan. Ubat ini tidak boleh diberikan kepada kanak-kanak dan juga kepada mereka yang mempunyai masalah gastrik yang teruk.\u00a0\n\n\n11. Gunting\u00a0\n\n\nGunting digunakan untuk memotong kain kasa, pita \nmicropore\n, pembalut, pakaian mangsa, atau apa saja yang diperlukan untuk dipotong. Gunting di dalam peti kecemasan tidak seperti gunting biasa. Kalau anda nak tahu, beginilah rupa gunting untuk peti pertolongan cemas:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nGunting ini direka begini supaya ia tidak mencederakan pengguna serta mangsa yang dirawat. Ia mempunyai mata yang tidak tajam serta boleh digunakan pada pelbagai sudut. Matanya gunting ini tidak tajam dan boleh digunakan memotong pakaian atau balutan tanpa perlu risau ia boleh mencederakan kulit mangsa yang dirawat.\u00a0\n\n\n12. Penyepit Kecil\u00a0\n\n\nPenyepit kecil ini boleh digunakan untuk beberapa tujuan. Antaranya seperti membersihkan anggota yang terkena batu atau pasir. Penyepit ini juga boleh digunakan untuk mengeluarkan sesuatu daripada rongga seperti hidung atau telinga.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAnda juga boleh menggunakan penyepit ini untuk memegang kapas atau kain kasa semasa membersihkan luka. Jadi, anda tak perlu memakai sarung tangan getah untuk merawat seseorang.\u00a0\n\n\n13. Bebola Kapas\u00a0\n\n\nBebola kapas berguna untuk membersihkan luka, anggota yang tercedera, serta menyerap darah daripada luka. Kalau tiada kain kasa, bebola kapas juga boleh digunakan untuk menyapu alkohol atau ubat luka.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: Healthline\n\n\nPastikan bebola kapas yang telah digunakan ini dibuang dengan betul untuk mengelakkan pencemaran serta jangkitan silang kepada orang lain.\u00a0\n\n\n14. Ubat Kuning\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nUbat kuning atau \nacriflavine \nlotion ini digunakan untuk mensanitasi dan membersihkan luka. Ia juga digunakan untuk membasmi kuman pada kawasan luka sebelum dibalut.\u00a0\n\n\nAnda perlu berhati-hati dalam menggunakan larutan ini kerana ia sangat mudah mencemarkan pakaian dengan warna kuning yang sangat susah untuk ditanggalkan.\u00a0\n\n\nBukan Kereta Saja Yang Wajib Servis!\u00a0\n\n\nBetul! Bukan saja kereta ataupun komponen lain yang anda kena servis. Peti kecemasan dalam kenderaan anda juga WAJIB anda servis. Ikuti langkah ini untuk anda servis peti kecemasan anda.\n\n\n1. Periksa Ubat Yang Ada\n\n\nKeluarkan semua ubat yang ada di dalamnya. Periksa tarikh luput setiap ubat.

Ini Apa Yang Anda Boleh Buat Untuk Halau Tikus Dalam Kereta Anda", "By\n \nAhmad Azwadie Azman", "28/07/2023", "\n\n\n\n\n", "Halau tikus dalam kereta bukanlah satu tugas yang mudah. Tikus sering menjadi masalah yang menyusahkan dan boleh menyebabkan kerosakan kepada kenderaan. Tikus juga boleh mengotorkan kenderaan anda dengan najis dan air kencingnya beserta pakej bau busuk yang amat-amat tidak menyenangkan. Tikus juga boleh menyebarkan penyakit berbahaya seperti \nleptospirosis\n (kencing tikus).\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda perasan tikus dalam kereta, jangan panik! Terdapat beberapa cara yang boleh diambil untuk mengatasi masalah tikus dalam kereta ini.\n\n\n1. Kenal Pasti Kehadiran Tikus\n\n\nSalah satu petunjuk utama kehadiran tikus adalah adanya bau busuk atau bau pelik di dalam kereta anda. Tikus sering meninggalkan kotoran mereka di tempat-tempat yang tidak dilihat seperti ruang enjin atau bahagian bawah kerusi. Jika anda melihat sebarang tanda-tanda ini, adalah penting untuk bertindak segera.\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, perhatikan juga adanya kesan gigitan pada kabel-kabel atau bekas gigitan pada barangan yang ada di dalam kereta. Tikus mempunyai gigi yang kuat dan sering menggigit segala sesuatu yang mereka temui termasuk kabel elektrik. Ini boleh menyebabkan masalah elektrik pada kereta anda.\n\n\n2. Perangkap Tikus\n\n\nSatu cara adalah dengan menggunakan perangkap tikus. Terdapat pelbagai jenis perangkap tikus yang boleh dibeli dari kedai haiwan atau penjual racun serangga. Namun, penting untuk memastikan perangkap tersebut diletakkan di tempat-tempat yang sesuai dan berpotensi menjadi sarang tikus.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan\n: \nAksesori Kereta Paling Tak Berguna Yang Anda Tak Patut Beli!\n\n\n\n\nNamun, cara ini mungkin tidak digalakkan memandangkan ada kemungkinan untuk tikus mati di dalam kereta setelah terkena perangkap. Bau bangkai tikus yang lama ditinggalkan akan melekat pada bahagian kereta dan akan susah untuk dibuang.\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk itu, anda boleh memilih perangkap yang tidak membunuh tikus itu. ia ada banyak dijual secara dalam talian seperti \nDI SINI\n.\n\n\nSelain itu, perangkap tikus mungkin akan terkena kanak-kanak yang menganggapnya sebagai satu permainan. Jadi, berhati-hatilah jika anda memilih untuk menghalau tikus menggunakan kaedah ini.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Jaga Kebersihan Kereta\n\n\nSelain itu, adalah penting untuk menjaga kebersihan dalaman kereta. Pastikan makanan atau sebarang bahan makanan tidak ditinggalkan di dalam kereta, kerana ini akan menarik tikus datang dan membuat sarang di dalamnya. Bersihkan secara berkala dan pastikan tiada sisa makanan atau sampah dibiarkan berselerak.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan\n: \nJangan Simpan Barang Ini Dalam Kereta!\n\n\n\n\nWalaupun hanya secebis kecil makanan yang tertinggal, ia sudah mencukupi untuk menarik perhatian tikus memandangkan mamalia ini mempunyai deria bau yang sangat sensitif. Jadi, jangan biarkan kereta anda kotor!\u00a0\n\n\n4. Gunakan Penghalau Semula Jadi\n\n\nKetika menghadapi masalah tikus di dalam kereta, penghalau tikus semula jadi boleh menjadi pilihan yang berkesan. Dibandingkan dengan bahan kimia yang mungkin mempunyai kesan sampingan yang tidak diingini, penghalau tikus semula jadi adalah alternatif yang lebih selamat dan mesra alam.\n\n\n\n\nTerdapat beberapa kaedah penghalau tikus semula jadi yang boleh digunakan. Salah satunya adalah menggunakan minyak pati seperti minyak daun pudina atau serai wangi sebagai penghalau tikus. Tikus tidak menyukai bau-bauan ini dan akan mengelak daripada kawasan tersebut.\n\n\n5. Jangan Parkir Berhampiran Tempat Sampah\u00a0\n\n\nAda orang yang parkir kenderaan mereka berdekatan tempat sampah kerana ingin membuang sampah dengan mudah dan cepat. Tetapi ramai yang tak tahu ini mungkin boleh menjadi punca kehadiran tikus dalam kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\nTempat sampah sememangnya menjadi habitat utama bagi tikus-tikus ini. Jika anda parkir dekat dengan tempat sampah ini, tak peliklah jika ada tikus yang \u2018menumpang\u2019 sekali dalam kereta anda. Terutama sekali jika ada lubang yang cukup luas untuk ia masuk ke dalam kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nElakkan parkir berhampiran tempat pembuangan sampah walaupun cuma untuk sekejap\u00a0 saja.\u00a0\n\n\nSebagai kesimpulannya, halau tikus dalam kereta adalah satu cabaran yang perlu dihadapi. Dengan cara seperti perangkap tikus dan menjaga kebersihan dalaman kereta serta lain-lain cara yang disebutkan, kita boleh mengurangkan masalah tikus dalma kereta ini.\u00a0\n\n\nWalau bagaimanapun, jika masalah berterusan, adalah penting untuk mendapatkan bantuan pakar haiwan perosak untuk menyelesaikan isu ini dengan berkesan.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan\n: \nKereta Penuh Semut & Serangga Perosak? Ini Apa Anda Boleh Buat\n\n\nTak kisahlah apa kaedah dan tips yang anda ingin gunakan bagi menghalau tikus ini, pastikan ia tidak menggunakan apa-apa bahan dan alatan yang berbahaya kepada pemandu dan penumpang\n\n\nIngatlah bahawa menghalau tikus dalam kereta adalah penting untuk keselamatan dan keselesaan pemandu dan penumpang. Jadi, amalkan langkah-langkah ini secara konsisten untuk menjaga agar kenderaan anda bebas daripada tikus yang merosakkan!\u00a0\n\n\n*Artikel ini telah dihasilkan dengan bantuan Kecerdasan Buatan (AI) melalui panduan naratif yang jelas daripada penulis kami yang berbakat.

Alamak, nampaknya kereta anda mungkin dah dipenuhi dengan semut! Sebelum keadaan jadi lebih teruk, lebih baik anda cari cara untuk hilangkan semut dalam kereta dengan mudah.\n\n\nAda banyak langkah pencegahan yang boleh diambil untuk hilangkan masalah semut dalam kereta. Daripada menggunakan bahan semula jadi kepada racun semut yang paling berkesan, i\nni\n beberapa petua yang boleh anda amalkan.\n\n\nvia GIPHY\n\n\nCara untuk Hilangkan Semut Dalam Kereta\n\n\ni) Bersihkan Bahagian Dalam Kereta dengan Kerap\n\n\nMembersihkan bahagian dalaman kereta anda secara berkala adalah cara terbaik untuk menentang serangan semut. Sisa makanan dan minuman adalah punca utama yang menyebabkan kereta anda diceroboh oleh serangga kecil ini.\n\n\nvia GIPHY\n\n\nGunakan pembersih vakum untuk bersihkan setiap pelosok kereta anda dan fokus kepada bahagian yang biasanya orang terlepas pandang seperti celah-celah tempat duduk, kerusi bayi, dan karpet kereta.\n\n\nNak lagi bersih? Sembur setiap permukaan dalam kereta anda menggunakan semburan serai wangi daripada \nKleenso\n atau \nAfy Haniff\n dan lap menggunakan kain yang bersih. Selain memberi bau yang segar, ia akan menghilangkan kesan feromon yang biasanya digunakan oleh semut untuk mencari jalan pulang. Ini akan mengelirukan semut dan mereka akan merayau ke tempat lain pula.\u00a0\n\n\nii) Gunakan Racun Semut yang Sesuai\n\n\nAnda juga boleh gunakan bahan penghalau makhluk perosak semula jadi atau racun semut untuk menghalau semut daripada kereta anda. Antara bahan-bahan semulajadi yang boleh anda gunakan ialah kapas yang direndam dengan cuka, serbuk kayu manis, serbuk kopi, dan kulit buah sitrus seperti limau atau lemon.\n\n\nKesemua bahan ini mempunyai aroma yang kuat, jadi ia akan menghilangkan jejak bau yang digunakan oleh semut untuk mencari makanan. Tapi, ini bukan bermakna yang bahan ini boleh diletakkan begitu saja dalam kereta untuk menghalau semut. Ia perlu diletakkan berhampiran sarang mereka atau di tempat laluan semut, barulah ia berkesan.\n\n\n\n\nBahan semula jadi tak boleh nak tangani serangan semut dalam kereta anda? Cuba gunakan racun semut seperti \nAnt X\n untuk sesuatu yang lebih berkesan. Pilih umpan atau ubat semut yang direka khusus untuk kegunaan dalam rumah atau kereta dan letakkannya di laluan semut.\n\n\nSemut akan menganggap racun ini sebagai makanan lalu membawanya balik ke sarang. Ini membuatkan racun lebih berkesan kerana ia direka khusus untuk menghapuskan semut secara terus daripada sarangnya.\n\n\niii) Dapatkan Perkhidmatan Kawalan Makhluk Perosak\n\n\nKalau penggunaan racun semut juga tak boleh hilangkan semut dalam kereta, mungkin dah tiba masanya untuk anda menggunakan perkhidmatan kawalan makhluk perosak profesional untuk membantu anda.\n\n\nvia GIPHY\n\n\nMereka telah dilatih untuk menangani serangan makhluk perosak dan mempunyai kepakaran serta alat yang diperlukan untuk menghapuskan semut dari kereta anda dengan berkesan. Selain itu, mereka juga boleh memberikan panduan tentang cara pencegahan jangka panjang untuk elakkan semut kembali menyerang kereta anda pada masa hadapan.\u00a0\n\n\nTip untuk Elak Semut & Lipas Masuk Dalam Kereta\n\n\nUntuk mengelakkan semut dan lipas daripada menyusup ke dalam kereta anda, berikut adalah beberapa langkah pencegahan yang boleh anda lakukan.\n\n\nvia GIPHY\n\n\n\n\nElak tinggalkan sisa makanan atau minuman dalam kereta:\n Jika ada makanan atau minuman yang tertumpah dalam kereta, cepat-cepat bersihkan. Pastikan dalam kereta anda ada tong sampah untuk kumpulkan sampah supaya anda senang nak buang.\n\n\nTutup lubang yang membolehkan semut masuk dalam kereta: \nPeriksa jika terdapat sebarang ruang atau lubang terbuka di bahagian pintu dan badan kereta. Ia perlu ditutup menggunakan bahan pengedap atau penutup getah untuk mengelak semut atau serangga lain daripada masuk ke dalam kereta.\n\n\nJangan letak kereta di bawah pokok: \nElakkan letak kereta anda berhampiran kawasan yang biasanya ada semut seperti di bawah pokok, tempat buang sampah, tepi longkang, dan juga kawasan lembap.\n\n\n\n\nAda banyak cara yang boleh anda lakukan untuk halau semut yang bersarang dalam kereta anda. Dengan mengekalkan persekitaran yang bersih dalam kereta melalui pembersihan yang kerap, buang sampah di tempat yang sepatutnya, dan menggunakan bahan penghalau makhluk perosak semula jadi sudah cukup untuk melindungi kereta anda daripada ditawan oleh serangga kecil berkaki enam ini.\n\n\nKami harap dengan mengikuti panduan yang telah kami sediakan ini, anda boleh menikmati keadaan dalam kereta yang bebas semut dan lebih menyenangkan agar anda selesa untuk memandu di jalan raya.\n\n", "Haziq Asyraf\nA self-proclaimed foodie and gamer whose passion for food and games has recently extended to cars.", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Cara nak aktifkan balik cukai jalan adalah dengan memperbaharui atau \u2018\nrenew roadtax\n\u2019 dengan membuat pembayaran. Tapi ada syarat-syaratnya,\n \njelaskan dulu semua saman JPJ atau PDRM\n dan\n \nperbaharui insurans kenderaan\n tersebut baru boleh aktifkan semula cukai jalan.\n\n\nKalau anda tak hidupkan cukai jalan, anda boleh didakwa mengikut Seksyen 15(1) dan Seksyen 90(1) Akta Pengangkutan Jalan Raya (APJ) 1987 jika anda memandu kereta tanpa cukai jalan yang sah. Nak hidupkan balik cukai jalan tak susah pun, sekarang semua boleh buat secara \nonline\n termasuk pembayarannya cukai jalan.\n\n\nFaktor-faktor Yang Mempengaruhi Jumlah \nRoad Tax\n Kereta\u00a0\n\n\nApabila kita ingin menghidupkan semula \nroad tax\n kereta kita, jumlah bayaran sudah dikira siap-siap dalam sistem. Hanya perlu bayar, tak perlu nak kira pun untuk ada sekeping pelekat LKM.\n\n\nWalau bagaimanapun, penting juga untuk kita ketahui apa yang mempengaruhi jumlah bayaran cukai jalan, terutama apabila anda ingin membeli kereta.\n\n\nKita selalu sangka cukai jalan bergantung pada harga kereta. Lebih mahal kereta, lebih mahal cukai jalan. Tapi itu bukan faktor tunggal yang mempengaruhi pengiraan harga cukai jalan.\n\n\nCukai jalan di Malaysia bergantung kepada kapasiti enjin kenderaan, lokasi kenderaan secara geografi, jenis kenderaan, dan jenis pemilikan.\n\n\n1. Kapasiti Enjin (CC)\n\n\nLebih besar kapasiti enjin (CC), lebih mahal cukai jalannya. Logik ini adalah kerana ketika cukai jalan diperkenalkan, kerajaan ingin mengenakan cukai terhadap pemilik kenderaan berkapasiti enjin besar kerana pada zaman itu, kenderaan besar menyebabkan lebih banyak pencemaran berbanding kenderaan kecil.\n\n\n\n\nAnda mungkin musykil, kalau kereta elektrik yang tidak menghasilkan karbon, bagaimana pula? Untuk kereta elektrik, kadar cukai jalan ditentukan oleh saiz kapasiti bateri kereta elektrik. Ia disukat dalam unit kWh. Lebih tinggi nilai kWH, lebih mahal cukai yang dikenakan.\n\n\n2. Lokasi\u00a0\n\n\nKadar cukai jalan di Sabah dan Sarawak lebih murah untuk mengimbangi keadaan jalan raya dan pembangunan infrastruktur yang kurang elok berbanding di Semenanjung Malaysia. Ciri-ciri geografi dan permukaan jalan yang yang teruk menyebabkan ramai penduduk terpaksa menggunakan kenderaan pacuan empat roda.\n\n\nDi Labuan pula, enjin berkapasiti 1,000cc dan ke bawah akan dikenakan kadar tetap sebanyak RM20. Walau bagaimanapun, untuk enjin berkapasiti lebih 1,000cc, kadar cukai jalan yang dikenakan adalah 50% kurang dari kadar cukai jalan yang dikenakan di Sabah.\n\n\n3. Jenis Kenderaan\n\n\nJenis kenderaan yang dimaksudkan di sini hanya dua iaitu salun atau bukan salun. Kenderaan salun termasuk kenderaan jenis\n \nsedan\n,\n \nhacbek\n, \ncoupe,\n \nwagon\n atau berhud\n.\n\n\n\n\nKenderaan bukan salun pula adalah\n \nMPV\n,\n \nSUV\n,\n \ntrak pikap\n dan kenderaan komersial.\n\n\n4. Jenis Pemilikan\n\n\nJenis pemilikan merujuk kepada sama ada kenderaan itu adalah milik peribadi individu atau kenderaan milik syarikat. Sesebuah kereta yang berdaftar di bawah nama syarikat adalah dikelaskan sebagai kereta komersial. Cukai jalan yang perlu dibayar untuk kereta komersial adalah lebih mahal berbanding cukai jalan kereta persendirian.\n\n\nBerdasarkan faktor-faktor ini lah, cukai jalan sebuah BMW 318i 1.5T didapati sama jumlahnya dengan cukai jalan sebuah Perodua Myvi 1.5L walaupun BMW dianggap kereta kayangan manakala Myvi, kereta bajet.\n\n\nCara Kira Kadar Cukai Jalan Kereta\u00a0\n\n\nZaman serba moden ni, nak tahu jumlah cukai jalan yang perlu dibayar sangat mudah. Boleh \ncheck \ndengan penjual kereta, boleh buat carian dalam talian, atau tanya terus pada JPJ. Tapi pada yang ingin tahu, bagaimana jumlah tersebut diperoleh, di sini kami tunjukkan.\n\n\nUntuk buat pengiraan sendiri jumlah cukai jalan, apa yang anda perlukan adalah:\n\n\n\n\nTahu kapasiti atau sesaran enjin kenderaan, yang lebih dikenali sebagai CC\n\n\nGaris Panduan Pengiraan Kadar Lesen Kenderaan Motor (LKM)\n oleh JPJ\n\n\nKalkulator dan sedikit ilmu matematik\n\n\n\n\nContoh Pengiraan Pertama: Perodua Bezza 1.3\n\n\nMenurut jadual kira-kira di bawah (Semenanjung Malaysia),\n \nPerodua Bezza 1.3\n yang memiliki enjin berkapasiti 1300cc, kadar cukai jalannya adalah RM70 setahun.\n\n\nCara kiranya agak mudah kerana kenderaan berkapasiti 1600cc dan ke bawah dikenakan kadar yang tetap.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKapasiti Enjin\n\n\nKadar\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1000cc dan ke bawah\n\n\nRM 20.00\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1001cc hingga 1200cc\n\n\nRM 55.00\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1201cc hingga 1400cc\n\n\nRM 70.00\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1401cc hingga 1600cc\n\n\nRM 90.00\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTapi bagi kenderaan dengan kapasiti melebihi 1600cc pula macam mana? Di sini kita perlu tahu kadar asas dan kadar tetap, serta perlu membuat sedikit kira-kira.\n\n\nContoh Pengiraan Kedua:\n \nHonda Civic Type-R 2.0\n\n\nMenurut jadual pengiraan di bawah (Semenanjung Malaysia), Honda Civic Type-R 2.0 dengan kapasiti enjin 1,996cc, tertakluk pada kadar asas sebanyak RM280, dan kadar progresif sebanyak RM0.50 untuk setiap kenaikan satu cc. Dalam erti kata lain, setiap satu cc melebihi 1800cc dikenakan caj sebanyak 50 sen.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKapasiti Enjin\n\n\nKadar Asas\n\n\nKadar Progresif\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1601 hingga 1800cc\n\n\nRM 200.00\n\n\nRM 0.40 untuk setiap perbezaan cc berbanding 1600cc\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1801cc hingga 2000cc\n\n\nRM 280.00\n\n\nRM 0.50 untuk setiap perbezaan cc berbanding 1800cc\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2001cc hingga 2500cc\n\n\nRM 380.00\n\n\nRM 1.00 untuk setiap perbezaan cc berbanding 2000cc\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2501cc hingga 3000cc\n\n\nRM 880.00\n\n\nRM 2.50 untuk setiap perbezaan cc berbanding 2500cc\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMelebihi 3000cc\n\n\nRM 2,130.00\n\n\nRM 4.50 untuk setiap perbezaan cc berbanding 3000cc\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJumlah bayaran kadar progresif:\n\n\n1,996cc \u2013 1,800cc = 196cc\n\n\n196cc x RM0.50 = RM98\n\n\nUntuk mendapatkan jumlah bayaran cukai jalan, bayaran kadar progresif yang diperolehi ini ditambahkan dengan kadar asas mengikut kapasiti enjin kereta iaitu RM280.\n\n\n= RM98(kadar progresif) + RM280(kadar asas)\n\n\n= RM378\n\n\nBukanlah susah sangat nak kira cukai jalan di Malaysia ni rupa-rupanya. Yang lebih susah itu mungkin untuk membayar apabila tiba masanya. Ini membawa kita ke soalan selanjutnya, bagaimana cara nak bayar \nroad tax\n?\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nCara \u2018Renew\u2019 Roadtax atau Pembaharuan Cukai Jalan dan Insurans Secara Online\n\n\nCara Bayar \nRoad Tax \nKereta di JPJ & Online\n\n\nUntuk memperbaharui cukai jalan secara \nonline\n, anda boleh melakukannya di:\n\n\n\n\nBjak\n \n\u2013 Di sini anda bukan sahaja dapat \nrenew\n roadtax anda, tetapi juga \nrenew\n insurans kereta anda.\n\n\nMySikap\n \u2013 Platform digital untuk transaksi dalam talian JPJ seperti memperbaharui roadtax atau lesen, tukar hak milik kenderaan, semakan saman trafik, dan lain-lain.\n\n\nMyEG\n \u2013 MyEG online memiliki saluran elektronik yang menawarkan pelbagai perkhidmatan daripada pelbagai agensi kerajaan termasuklah JPJ.\n\n\nLaman web atau aplikasi mudah alih insurans seperti\n \nQoala\n dan\n \nPolicy Street\n \u2013 Tetapi anda hanya dapat melakukannya selepas anda memperbaharui insurans kereta anda di laman atau aplikasi mobil insurans tersebut.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTetapi bukan semua jenis kenderaan anda dapat \nrenew\n \nroad tax\n secara online.

Oleh sebab itu, setiap pengguna jalan raya di Malaysia wajib memiliki insurans kereta untuk melindungi pemandu atau pihak ketiga daripada sebarang risiko tuntutan kerosakan atau kerugian. Berdasarkan \nstatistik\n, Malaysia merekodkan kadar kematian jalan raya yang tinggi iaitu 23 orang bagi setiap 100,000 penduduk berbanding Indonesia dan Filipina. Malah, Malaysia turut merekodkan kadar kematian jalan raya ketiga tertinggi di dunia mengatasi India dan China.\n\n\n\n\nMemetik Laporan Bloomberg, Malaysia bakal menjadi antara negara paling berisiko semasa di atas jalan raya selepas Thailand dan Afrika Selatan. Di Malaysia, insurans kenderaan atau insuran kereta merupakan salah satu perlindungan wajib di bawah peruntukan undang-undang. Ia merupakan salah satu bentuk perlindungan yang disediakan oleh syarikat insurans untuk melindungi pemegang polisi insurans daripada sebarang insiden yang tidak diingini.\n\n\nInsurans Kenderaan: 9 Perkara Tentang Insurans Kereta Yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\nPerlindungan insurans bukan sahaja berfungsi meringankan beban kewangan sekiranya berlaku kemalangan atau kecurian, malah ia turut memainkan peranan melindungi pemegang polisi insurans daripada menjadi mangsa pemanduan berbahaya. Carsome menyenaraikan 9 perkara penting berkaitan insurans kereta seperti jenis insurans di malaysia, harga insuran kereta, perbandingan insurans kereta dan cara pilih insurans kereta terbaik untuk panduan dan rujukan anda seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Apa Itu Insurans Kereta?\n\n\nInsurans kenderaan berfungsi sebagai perlindungan jangka masa panjang. Secara amnya, insurans kenderaan bermotor adalah polisi insurans yang melindungi kenderaan seperti kereta, motosikal, bas dan lori daripada risiko luar jangka seperti kecurian dan kerosakan akibat kemalangan. Di Malaysia, terdapat tiga (3) jenis polisi insurans kereta yang tersedia dalam pasaran yang menawarkan pelbagai jenis perlindungan insurans kereta dengan syarat dan terma yang berbeza bergantung pada polisi syarikat insurans masing-masing.\n\n\n2. Jenis Insurans Kereta\n\n\nCarsome menyenaraikan jenis-jenis insurans di Malaysia untuk panduan anda merangkumi polisi perlindungan paling asas sehinggalah perlindungan paling lengkap:\n\n\na. Insurans Pihak Ketiga\n\n\nInsurans pihak ketiga merupakan polisi perlindungan insurans kenderaan paling asas \u2013 setiap kenderaan bermotor di Malaysia perlu memiliki sekurang-kurangnya polisi insurans pihak ketiga bagi membolehkan kenderaan digunakan di atas jalan raya. Dalam konteks perlindungan ini, pihak ketiga yang dimaksudkan merujuk pada individu lain yang terlibat sekiranya berlaku situasi luar jangka tertentu.\n\n\nPolisi insurans ini HANYA boleh digunakan untuk tuntutan pihak ketiga dan melindungi pihak ketiga daripada kecederaan atau kematian. Ia termasuk kerosakan atau kerugian ke atas harta benda pihak ketiga akibat kemalangan yang berlaku disebabkan oleh kenderaan anda. \nNamun begitu, insurans pihak ketiga menawarkan perlindungan yang agak terhad. Polisi insurans ini TIDAK boleh digunakan untuk membuat tuntutan kerosakan pada kenderaan anda.\n\n\nOleh sebab itu, harga insuran kereta bagi polisi jenis ini ditawarkan pada harga yang rendah berbanding polisi insurans lain.\n\n\nb. Insurans Pihak Ketiga, Kebakaran dan Kecurian\n\n\nJenis polisi insurans ini biasanya lebih mahal berbanding insurans pihak ketiga namun lebih murah berbanding insurans komprehensif. Ini kerana, polisi insurans ini merangkumi perlindungan tambahan yang melindungi kerosakan kenderaan akibat kebakaran atau kecurian. Sama seperti insurans pihak ketiga, polisi ini melindungi pemandu daripada tuntutan pihak ketiga merangkumi kecederaan dan kematian termasuk kerosakan atau kerugian ke atas harta benda pihak ketiga akibat kemalangan yang disebabkan oleh kenderaan anda.\n\n\nSelain perlindungan insurans seperti yang dinyatakan di (a), polisi ini juga melindungi kenderaan anda sekiranya terdapat cubaan mencuri atau kejadian kebakaran yang tidak disengajakan. Anda boleh membuat tuntutan jika pintu atau cermin kereta anda dikopak atau dipecahkan disebabkan oleh cubaan mencuri atau \nkereta terbakar\n secara tidak sengaja. Dalam erti kata lain, perlindungan tambahan ini HANYA melindungi kereta anda sekiranya dicuri, rosak akibat cubaan untuk mencuri atau kebakaran.\n\n\nc. Insurans Komprehensif\n\n\nInsurans komprehensif merupakan polisi perlindungan insurans yang paling menyeluruh. Ia menawarkan perlindungan yang sama seperti yang dinyatakan di (b), namun dengan polisi perlindungan tambahan ke atas kenderaan sendiri dan tidak terhad kepada insiden kecurian atau kebakaran sahaja. Dalam erti kata lain, jenis polisi insurans ini bukan sahaja melindungi pihak ketiga (individu lain) tetapi turut melindungi pihak pertama (anda). Secara amnya, polisi insurans (komprehensif) ini juga turut melindungi anda daripada kerugian harta benda dan kecederaan sekiranya berlaku kemalangan selain pihak ketiga.\n\n\nDi Malaysia, kereta baharu yang dibeli melalui pinjaman bank atau\n \nloan\n kereta\n diwajibkan untuk membeli jenis polisi insurans ini. Selain itu, pemilik \nkereta mewah dan berjenama\n juga disarankan untuk mendapatkan perlindungan insurans jenis ini. Ini kerana, pemilik biasanya perlu mengeluarkan kos pembaikan yang lebih tinggi berbanding \nkereta mampu milik\n yang lain sekiranya berlaku kemalangan.\n\n\n\n\n3. Insurans Kenderaan: Perlindungan Tambahan\n\n\nSelain itu, syarikat insurans di Malaysia juga biasanya menawarkan pelbagai pilihan perlindungan tambahan bergantung pada keperluan dan risiko pemanduan yang dikenal pasti. Anda boleh merujuk syarikat insurans pilihan anda untuk maklumat lanjut. Berikut merupakan antara perlindungan tambahan yang biasa diambil oleh pemilik kenderaan yang boleh anda pertimbangkan:\n\n\na. Pemandu Tambahan\n\n\nIa merujuk pada penambahan nama pemandu lain (seperti isteri atau anak) yang turut menggunakan kereta anda. Ia bagi memudahkan proses tuntutan sekiranya kemalangan berlaku ketika pemandu kedua menggunakan kenderaan. Kadar harga untuk pemandu tambahan kedua dan seterusnya biasanya ditetapkan seperti berikut (caj mungkin berbeza bergantung pada syarikat insurans):\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPemegang polisi \u2013 Percuma\n\n\nPemandu kedua \u2013 Percuma\n\n\nPemandu ketiga \u2013 RM10.6*\n\n\nPemandu keempat \u2013 RM21.20*\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nb. Perlindungan Pilihan\n\n\nSecara amnya, perlindungan komprehensif tidak mencukupi untuk melindungi kenderaan anda daripada sebarang risiko atau kemungkinan. Oleh sebab itu, kebanyakan pemilik kenderaan memilih untuk membeli perlindungan tambahan secara berasingan bergantung pada keperluan pemilik. Berikut merupakan antara perlindungan tambahan yang biasa ditawarkan oleh pemilik syarikat insurans dan takaful kepada pemilik kenderaan:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInsurans cermin kereta (\nwindscreen\n atau cermin hadapan) \u2013 biasanya 15% daripada nilai cermin hadapan;\n\n\nPeril khas \u2013 biasanya 0.25% daripada jumlah yang ingin dilindungi (\nsum insured\n);\n\n\nSRCC\n (Strike, Riot and Civil Commotion) \u2013 \nbiasanya 0.3% daripada jumlah yang ingin dilindungi;\n\n\nAksesori kereta \n\u2013\n biasanya 15% daripada nilai aksesori;\n\n\nLain-lain \n\u2013\n rujuk syarikat insurans anda untuk info lanjut.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Perbandingan Insurans Kereta\n\n\nDi pasaran, terdapat pelbagai jenis insurans kereta ditawarkan dengan pelbagai jenis perlindungan tambahan mengikut keperluan dan bajet. Biasanya, harga insurans kereta bergantung pada jenis insurans atau syarikat insurans yang dipilih. Namun begitu, anda boleh mempertimbangkan perkara berikut semasa pilih insurans kereta terbaik dan sesuai untuk anda:\n\n\n\n\nPerkhidmatan nilai tambah seperti bantuan kecemasan (\ntow truck\n) tanpa caj tambahan;\n\n\nKemudahan \npembaharuan insurans kenderaan secara\n online\n atau dalam talian;\n\n\nProses tuntutan yang tidak rumit;\n\n\nLokasi bengkel panel yang mudah diakses dan menyeluruh;\n\n\nPerkhidmatan pelanggan yang cekap.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKategori\n\n\nPihak Ketiga\n\n\nPihak Ketiga, Kebakaran dan Kecurian\n\n\nKomprehensif\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTuntutan/Liabiliti Pihak Ketiga\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKecederaan\n\n\n\u2713\n\n\n\u2713\n\n\n\u2713\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKematian\n\n\n\u2713\n\n\n\u2713\n\n\n\u2713\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKerugian/Kerosakan Harta Benda\n\n\n\u2713\n\n\n\u2713\n\n\n\u2713\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKerosakan/Kerugian Kenderaan Sendiri\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKebakaran\n\n\n\u2715\n\n\n\u2713\n\n\n\u2713\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKecurian\n\n\n\u2715\n\n\n\u2713\n\n\n\u2713\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKemalangan\n\n\n\u2715\n\n\n\u2715\n\n\n\u2713\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKecederaan/Kematian\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPenumpang\n\n\n\u2715\n\n\n\u2715\n\n\n\u2715\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiri Sendiri\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPembayaran ganti rugi oleh pihak insurans kepada pemegang polisi merupakan amalan standard setelah tuntutan kecurian kenderaan atau kerugian dibuat. Amaun bayaran yang akan diterima oleh pemegang polisi biasanya bergantung pada perkara-perkara seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\nNilai pasaran kenderaan semasa\n kerosakan atau kerugian berlaku; atau\n\n\nMengikut \nnilai yang dipersetujui dalam polisi\n; atau\n\n\nMana-mana yang lebih rendah\n.\n\n\n\n\nNamun begitu, bayaran balik biasanya akan diberikan oleh syarikat insurans kepada pemegang polisi berdasarkan nilai yang telah dipersetujui dalam perjanjian tanpa mengira harga pasaran semasa atau harga jualan semula.\n\n\n\n\n5. Polisi Insurans Kereta: Tips Beli Insurans Kereta di Malaysia\n\n\nCarsome menyenaraikan beberapa perkara berkaitan insurans kereta yang boleh anda fahami untuk mengelakkan anda daripada tertipu. Berikut beberapa tips yang anda perlu tahu sebelum beli insurans kereta yang sesuai mengikut keperluan dan bajet anda.\n\n\na. Semak Nilai Pasaran Semasa Kereta\n\n\nSemak harga pasaran semasa atau\n current market value\n kereta anda. Ia adalah penting untuk memastikan kenderaan anda diinsuranskan secukupnya kerana ia akan memberi kesan kepada amaun yang boleh dituntut sekali gus mengelakkan kekurangan atau lebihan bayaran. Anda boleh memeriksa nilai pasaran kereta menggunakan\n laman web \nini.\n\n\na.i. Kekurangan Bayaran Insurans\n\n\nSekiranya anda menginsuranskan kereta anda lebih rendah berbanding nilai pasaran, anda akan dianggap bersedia untuk menanggung sendiri perbezaan nilai tersebut sekiranya berlaku kerugian atau kerosakan. Anda hanya akan menerima bayaran sama seperti amaun yang diinsuranskan oleh syarikat insurans.\n\n\nDalam kes tertentu, syarikat insurans juga berhak untuk mengenakan denda atau penalti semasa proses penaksiran nilai tuntutan jika nilai kereta yang diinsuranskan lebih rendah daripada nilai pasaran semasa.\n\n\na.ii. Lebihan Bayaran Insurans\n\n\nSekiranya anda menginsuranskan kereta anda lebih tinggi berbanding nilai pasaran, pampasan maksimum yang akan diterima adalah bergantung pada nilai pasaran semasa kenderaan. Pemegang polisi tidak boleh mendapat keuntungan daripada tuntutan insurans kereta melebihi atau lebih tinggi daripada nilai pasaran semasa diinsuranskan.\n\n\nb. Semak Nilai atau Peratusan \nLoading\n Polisi Insurans\n\n\nPeratusan\n loading\n atau dalam bahasa biasa merujuk pada caj tambahan yang dikenakan ke atas premium asas sesuatu risiko. Setiap syarikat insurans biasanya meletakkan kadar\n\u00a0loading\n yang berbeza meskipun ia merujuk pada kategori risiko yang sama. Sesetengah syarikat insurans mengenakan kadar \nloading\n sekitar 15 hingga 35 peratus bergantung pada garis panduan yang ditetapkan oleh syarikat. Sebagai pemilik kenderaan, anda berhak untuk memilih insurans yang menawarkan kadar \nloading\n yang lebih rendah atau tanpa \nloading\n.\n\n\nKadar \nloading\n biasanya ditentukan berdasarkan faktor-faktor biasa seperti umur, tabiat pemanduan, kapasiti enjin, sejarah serta kekerapan tuntutan sebelumnya. Kadar ini dikenakan bertujuan untuk memastikan ia setimpal dengan risiko yang akan ditanggung oleh syarikat insurans.\n\n\nc. Beli Insurans Secara Terus dari Syarikat Insurans\n\n\nSelain itu, anda juga disarankan untuk mendapatkan insurans secara terus daripada ejen yang berpengalaman atau syarikat insurans yang dipercayai. Ia bertujuan untuk memastikan anda mendapat perlindungan dan nasihat yang tepat dan betul. Pembelian insurans kereta secara terus daripada ejen yang sah juga dapat membantu anda sekiranya anda berdepan dengan situasi tuntutan dan dapat mengelakkan anda daripada ditipu oleh ejen yang tidak berdaftar. Selain itu, polisi insurans yang diambil secara terus daripada syarikat insurans juga biasanya tertakluk pada diskaun sehingga 15 peratus bergantung pada jenis polisi yang dipilih.\n\n\n6. Cara Pilih Insurans Kereta Terbaik\n\n\nProses pilih insurans kereta terbaik dan sesuai dengan keperluan anda tidaklah sesukar yang dijangka lebih-lebih lagi jika anda sudah mengetahui aspek dan perkara asas yang perlu dipertimbangkan. Carsome menyenaraikan 5 tips asas pilih insurans kenderaan terbaik untuk panduan anda seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Tentukan Kaedah Pembelian\n\n\nAnda boleh memilih sama ada untuk membeli insurans kereta secara terus melalui syarikat insurans atau melalui ejen insurans bebas yang dipercayai bergantung pada kesesuaian atau pilihan anda.\n\n\n2. Tentukan Jumlah, Jenis Perlindungan Insurans Kereta\n\n\nAnda boleh menyemak \nnilai pasaran kereta\n anda secara \nonline\n untuk mengetahui anggaran jumlah perlindungan insurans yang anda perlukan. Selain itu, pertimbangkan juga faktor-faktor lain seperti kekerapan pemanduan, lokasi pemanduan dan lokasi tempat tinggal (jenayah kecurian, risiko banjir dan sebagainya) sebelum memilih jenis perlindungan insurans yang bersesuaian.\n\n\n3. Dapatkan Sebut Harga Insurans Kereta\n\n\nSetiap syarikat insurans menawarkan sebut harga yang berbeza bergantung pada jenis polisi insurans yang ditawarkan. Anda juga boleh mengubah suai (\ncustomize\n) jenis polisi yang anda perlukan bergantung pada keperluan anda. Namun begitu, semakin banyak penambahan yang anda lakukan, semakin tinggi harga insurans yang perlu dibayar. Biasanya, proses mendapatkan sebut harga memerlukan butiran berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNama penuh pemilik kereta;\n\n\nNombor kad pengenalan pemilik kereta;\n\n\nNombor telefon;\n\n\nAlamat e-mel;\n\n\nAlamat tempat tinggal;\n\n\nNombor pendaftaran kereta\n;\n\n\nJenis kereta;\n\n\nModel kereta.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Banding Harga Insurans Kereta\n\n\nDi Malaysia, kadar premium insurans kereta dikawal selia dan ditetapkan oleh Bank Negara Malaysia. Oleh sebab itu, ada sesetengah polisi perlindungan mempunyai kadar premium yang sama meskipun daripada syarikat insurans yang berlainan. Namun begitu, anda masih boleh membandingkan harga insurans kereta ini bagi mendapatkan harga yang terbaik dan kompetitif.\n\n\nSetiap syarikat insurans menawarkan kelebihan dan kekurangan yang tersendiri bergantung pada jenis insurans dan perlindungan yang dipilih. Sebagai contoh, Syarikat ABC mungkin menawarkan polisi yang lebih mahal berbanding syarikat DEF, namun ia mungkin mempunyai tahap kepuasan tuntutan pelanggan yang lebih tinggi. Ini bermaksud, insurans syarikat ABC lebih berbaloi untuk dimiliki meskipun ditawarkan pada harga yang lebih mahal.\n\n\n5. Buat Pilihan Sesuai\n\n\nBandingkan insurans kereta dan pilih polisi insurans yang terbaik selari dengan keperluan anda. Teliti segala kelebihan dan kekurangan, ambil kira pandangan awam (\npublic review\n) dan sebagainya sebelum membuat keputusan.\n\n\nSelain beli insurans secara terus melalui syarikat insurans atau ejen, anda juga boleh memperbaharui cukai jalan dan insurans kereta anda secara \nonline\n. Anda boleh rujuk langkah-langkah\n perbaharui cukai jalan dan insurans kereta secara \nonline\n di sini.\n\n\n\n\n7. Harga Insurans Kereta\n\n\nHarga insurans kereta biasanya berubah setiap tahun mengikut harga pasaran semasa kereta anda. Harga insurans yang dibayar juga bergantung pada jenis polisi insurans dan perlindungan tambahan yang dipilih. Selain itu, harga insurans kereta juga turut dipengaruhi oleh faktor-faktor lain seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Jumlah Perlindungan Kereta/Nilai Pasaran Kereta\n\n\nNilai pasaran semasa kereta akan berkurangan dari tahun ke tahun. Jumlah perlindungan semasa yang lebih rendah akan mempengaruhi nilai insurans kereta yang ditawarkan. Semakin rendah nilai perlindungan, semakin murah insurans kereta.\n\n\n2. Tahun Pembuatan Kereta\n\n\nHarga insurans kereta turut berkait rapat dengan tahun pengeluaran kereta. Harga insurans untuk model kereta tahun 2019 adalah lebih mahal berbanding model kereta tahun 2014. Dalam erti kata lain, harga insurans untuk \nkereta lama\n \nbiasanya lebih murah berbanding kereta baharu.\n\n\n3. Diskaun Tanpa Tuntutan atau NCD Kereta\n\n\nKadar diskaun tanpa tuntutan atau \nno claim discount\n (NCD kereta) adalah berlainan mengikut kelas kenderaan. Bagi kereta persendirian, \nkadar NCD kereta\n adalah sekitar 25 hingga 55 peratus jika pemilik kenderaan tidak membuat sebarang tuntutan ganti rugi daripada syarikat insurans sepanjang pemilikan. Secara amnya, pemilik kenderaan layak menerima diskaun sehingga 25 peratus jika tiada sebarang tuntutan dibuat dalam tempoh 12 bulan pertama.\n\n\nIa diikuti dengan 30 peratus diskaun untuk tahun kedua, 38.33 peratus (tahun ketiga), 44 peratus (tahun keempat) dan 55 peratus untuk tahun kelima dan seterusnya. Berikut merupakan contoh perbandingan kadar bayaran untuk dua model kereta yang sama dengan kadar NCD berbeza seperti berikut:\n\n\nSituasi 1:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNilai Pasaran Semasa Kereta: RM40,000\n\n\nNilai NCD yang Diterima: 25%\n\n\nJumlah yang Perlu Dibayar: RM938\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSituasi 2:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNilai Pasaran Semasa Kereta: RM40,000\n\n\nNilai NCD yang Diterima: 55%\n\n\nJumlah yang Perlu Dibayar: RMRM368\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, anda juga boleh\n \ntransfer\n NCD kereta lama ke kereta baru \ndengan syarat kereta baharu atau \nkereta terpakai \nyang dibeli didaftarkan di bawah nama dan nombor kad pengenalan pemilik yang sama untuk menikmati kadar insurans yang lebih rendah.\n\n\n4. Jenis Insurans Kereta\n\n\nHarga insurans kereta turut dipengaruhi oleh jenis insurans kereta yang dipilih. Di Malaysia, terdapat tiga jenis insurans kereta yang ditawarkan kepada pemilik kenderaan:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nkomprehensif;\n\n\npihak ketiga;\n\n\npihak ketiga, kebakaran dan kecurian.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Faktor Lokasi\n\n\nFaktor lokasi juga memainkan peranan dalam mempengaruhi harga insurans kenderaan. Secara amnya, harga insurans kereta di Semenanjung adalah lebih mahal atau lebih tinggi berbanding harga insurans kereta di Sabah dan Sarawak. Faktor ini disebabkan oleh nilai pasaran kereta dan penilaian risiko yang lebih tinggi di Semenanjung Malaysia berbanding di Sabah dan Sarawak.\n\n\n6. Kapasiti Enjin Kereta\n\n\nKapasiti enjin kereta juga turut menentukan harga insurans yang perlu dibayar. Semakin tinggi kapasiti enjin kereta, semakin tinggi harga insurans kereta. Harga insurans Perodua Myvi 1.5 biasanya lebih mahal berbanding harga insurans Perodua Axia 1.0.\n\n\nInsurans Kereta Terpakai: Pastikan kereta yang dibeli bebas daripada \ntunggakan saman \natau disenarai hitam. Dapatkan salinan cover note daripada pemilik sebelumnya untuk periksa kadar NCD dan kenal pasti sama ada \nkereta yang ingin dibeli pernah kemalangan\n atau tidak.\n\n\n8. Cara Kira Insuran Kereta\n\n\nSecara amnya, jumlah premium yang perlu dibayar adalah berbeza bergantung pada jumlah yang diinsuranskan, model kereta, sejarah tuntutan sebelumnya, kadar NCD kereta sedia ada dan beberapa faktor lain yang perlu dipertimbangkan. Andaikan anda memiliki Perodua Myvi 1.5L yang berusia 5 tahun, dengan amaun diinsuranskan sebanyak RM30,000, kadar NCD kereta 30 peratus dan manfaat tambahan kerosakan cermin depan. Berikut merupakan contoh pengiraan harga insurans kereta untuk rujukan anda:\n\n\nJumlah Premium Komprehensif = Premium Kasar + Perlindungan Tambahan (jika ada) + 6% SST + Duti Setem\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPremium Asas: RM1,069.00\n\n\nTolak 30% NCD Kereta: RM320.70\n\n\nTambah Manfaat Tambahan (Cermin Hadapan): RM75 (untuk perlindungan RM500.00)\n\n\nTolak 10% Diskaun: RM82.33\n\n\nSST 6%: RM44.46\n\n\nTambah Duti Setem: RM10.00\n\n\nJumlah Premium Perlu Dibayar: RM795.43\n\n\n\n\nNota: pengiraan adalah anggaran semata-mata, mungkin meningkat atau bertambah mengikut situasi\n\n\n\n\n9. Perbezaan Insurans Takaful vs Insurans Konvensional\n\n\nSelain insurans konvensional, anda juga mempunyai pilihan untuk memperbaharui perlindungan insurans menggunakan insurans takaful. Insurans takaful secara amnya terbuka untuk semua dan tidak terhad kepada pengguna Islam sahaja. Ini bermaksud, individu bukan Muslim juga boleh mendapatkan perlindungan takaful.\n\n\na. Apa Itu Insurans Takaful?\n\n\nInsurans takaful merujuk kepada pelan insurans yang memiliki ciri-ciri patuh Shariah. Ia merujuk kepada konsep insurans Islamik yang berasaskan kerjasama bersama iaitu segala risiko dan dana dikongsi bersama antara pemegang polisi dan syarikat insurans. Insurans takaful diperkenalkan sebagai alternatif kepada insurans komersial sedia ada di Malaysia khusus untuk pengguna yang beragama Islam.\n\n\nb. Ciri-ciri Takaful\n\n\nBerikut merupakan ciri-ciri takaful untuk panduan anda:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerkongsian risiko \u2013 risiko ditanggung oleh syarikat insurans termasuk semua pihak di bawah perlindungan takaful;\n\n\nPolisi \nno claim cashback\n \u2013 jika tiada tuntutan dalam tempoh perlindungan, pemegang polisi layak menerima rebat tunai daripada syarikat takaful;\n\n\nPatuh Shariah \u2013 mematuhi undang-undang Shariah tanpa transaksi yang meragukan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInsurans takaful kenderaan dikategorikan sebagai produk takaful am. Insurans takaful menawarkan perlindungan yang menyeluruh yang melindungi pemegang polisi dan pihak ketiga daripada kerugian dan kecederaan akibat kemalangan, kecurian dan kebakaran.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInsurans Takaful\n\n\nInsurans Konvensional\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBerdasarkan konsep kerjasama\n\n\nBerdasarkan faktor komersial sahaja\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTertakluk kepada undang-undang Shariah dan undang-undang kerajaan\n\n\nTertakluk kepada akta dan undang-undang diwartakan kerajaan sahaja\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWang pemegang takaful hanya boleh dilaburkan dalam pelaburan patuh Shariah sahaja\n\n\nWang pemegang polisi boleh dilabur dalam semua bentuk pelaburan, tidak tertakluk pada pelaburan patuh Shariah sahaja\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBebas dari unsur Riba\u2019, Gharar (ragu-ragu) dan Masyir (perjudian)\n\n\nMungkin mengandungi unsur Riba\u2019, Gharar (ragu-ragu),dan Masyir (perjudian)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBerdasarkan konsep perkongsian risiko oleh semua pihak di bawah perlindungan yang telah dipersetujui bersama\n\n\nRisiko ditanggung sepenuhnya oleh syarikat insurans selepas bayaran dibuat oleh pemegang polisi\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSemoga perkongsian ini dapat membantu anda memilih polisi insurans kereta terbaik untuk kereta anda.

Banyak perkara yang perlu dititikberatkan sebelum anda berjaya menjual kereta anda dengan tawaran harga yang lebih tinggi daripada pembeli. Ikuti tip di bawah untuk memberikan anda gambaran awal perkara yang perlu anda pertimbangkan sebelum menjual kereta anda kepada mana-mana platform jual beli kereta terpakai.\n\n\nServis Kereta Lama Anda Seperti Kereta Baharu!\n\n\nPerkara pertama yang perlu anda pertimbangkan sebelum mengambil keputusan menjual kereta lama anda kepada mana-mana platform kereta terpakai adalah dengan menyelenggara kereta anda terlebih dahulu. Namun begitu, ia bergantung pada bajet dan tahap kerosakan kereta anda. Semakin baik keadaan kereta anda, semakin tinggi nilai jualan yang bakal diterima. Anda juga disarankan untuk menyimpan segala bukti transaksi, dokumen berkaitan dan resit kos pembaikan sekiranya diminta oleh bakal pembeli anda.\n\n\n#1 Pemeriksaan Enjin/Kereta\n\n\nTukar minyak enjin atau minyak hitam jika perlu. Kos untuk menukar minyak hitam dan minyak enjin kenderaan tidaklah terlalu mahal. Perkara ini mungkin boleh dijadikan \n\u2018selling point\u2019\n yang baik dan meningkatkan potensi pembeli untuk membeli kereta anda. Selain itu, pastikan paras cecair dalam tangki mencukupi dan tambah jika perlu. Gantikan pengelap cermin depan dan belakang jika ia tidak lagi berfungsi dengan baik. Periksa juga lampu brek, lampu kereta dan mana-mana komponen lain jika perlu. Bersihkan terminal bateri anda jika terdapat karat padanya.\n\n\n#2 Tayar Baharu/Tekanan Udara dalam Tayar\n\n\nPastikan tekanan udara dalam tayar anda mencukupi. Jika perlu, anda juga disarankan untuk menukar tayar kereta anda jika keadaan tayar sudah botak, bengkak atau merekah. Jika bajet anda tidak mengizinkan, anda boleh menggantikan tayar sedia ada kereta anda dengan tayar terpakai yang berkualiti. Namun begitu, pastikan ciri-ciri keselamatan tayar masih lagi dipatuhi.\n\n\n#3 Badan Kenderaan\n\n\nKesan kemik atau calar pada badan kenderaan anda mungkin tidak menjejaskan kualiti pemanduan tapi boleh memberi impak terhadap persepsi pembeli ke atas kereta anda. Jika bajet masih mencukupi, baiki kerosakan-kerosakan ini. Untuk lebih menjimatkan, anda boleh baiki sendiri kesan kemik atau calar ini menggunakan teknik DIY. Namun begitu, elakkan pembaikan \u2018asal siap\u2019 kerana ia akan menjejaskan kualiti luaran kereta anda dan boleh menyebabkan anda hilang pembeli berpotensi.\n\n\n\n\nCuci Kereta Lama Anda Seperti Kereta Baharu!\n\n\nSelain enjin dan badan kenderaan, antara perkara lain yang perlu anda pertimbangkan ialah bahagian dalaman kereta anda. Simpan semua barangan peribadi anda yang disimpan di dalam kereta sebelum ini seperti kasut, baju, GPS, pemain MP3 dan lain-lain. Pastikan semua barangan peribadi anda dikeluarkan daripada kereta anda sebelum anda menjualnya. Kereta yang kemas bukan sekadar sedap mata memandang, malah boleh dijadikan sebagai kayu ukur bahawa anda seorang yang menjaga kereta anda sepanjang berkhidmat dengan anda.\n\n\n#1 Bersihkan Bahagian Dalaman Kereta\n\n\nVakum segala habuk dan debu yang terlekat di semua sudut kereta anda termasuk pada papan pemuka \n(dashboard)\n dan bahagian-bahagian tersembunyi lain pada kereta anda. Selain itu, kebanyakan kusyen kereta juga terdedah kepada kotoran degil, kesan kulat, tumpahan makanan, muntah anak dan sebagainya. Anda mungkin boleh mendapatkan bantuan pakar yang menyediakan perkhidmatan mencuci kusyen kereta untuk kesan yang lebih optimum.\n\n\n#2 Basuh dan Gilap Kereta\n\n\nPenjagaan kereta adalah sangat penting lebih-lebih lagi jika ia merupakan kenderaan dan aset pertama anda setelah bertungkus-lumus bekerja. Sebelum ke mana-mana \npusat penilaian kereta\n, anda juga disarankan untuk membasuh dan menggilap kereta anda. Luaran kereta yang bersih dan kemas lebih sedap mata memandang! Untuk \n\u2018extra point\u2019\n, sembur pewangi kereta sebagai sentuhan akhir sebelum melakukan proses penilaian kereta! Manalah tahu, bau kereta yang wangi menarik hati penilai untuk memberikan harga yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\n#3 Baiki Kerosakan-kerosakan Kecil\n\n\nBaiki kerosakan-kerosakan kecil pada kenderaan anda, jika ada. Bersihkan kesan kotoran minyak pada engsel pintu, pastikan sistem audio berfungsi dengan baik atau tali pinggang keledar boleh digunakan. Perkara-perkara kecil seperti ini akan membantu meningkatkan pengalaman bakal pembeli kereta, sekaligus meningkatkan peluang anda untuk menjual kereta kesayangan anda pada harga yang lebih tinggi. Anda juga boleh gantikan barangan-barangan kecil pada kereta yang hilang di mana-mana kedai aksesori kereta.\n\n\nTerlalu banyak perkara yang perlu anda fikirkan sebelum menjual kereta lama anda? Jangan risau, segala penat-lelah anda mungkin berbaloi dengan tawaran harga yang anda mungkin dapat. A\nnda juga boleh kunjungi \npusat pemeriksaan \nCARSOME di seluruh Malaysia untuk dapatkan tawaran harga terbaik!

Mengetahui jenis palam pencucuh yang terbaik untuk kereta anda adalah penting untuk memastikan prestasi optimum pemanduan.\u00a0\n\n\nPalam pencucuh\n adalah salah satu bahagian penting dalam sistem pembakaran enjin kereta. Terdapat beberapa jenis palam pencucuh yang biasa digunakan dalam pasaran seperti palam pencucuh tembaga nikel, palam pencucuh platinum, dan palam pencucuh iridium.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nTanda Coil Plug Kereta Rosak Yang Ramai Tak Tahu!\n\n\nDalam artikel ini, kita akan membincangkan pelbagai jenis palam pencucuh dan kegunaannya supaya anda boleh memastikan kereta anda dapat dipandu dengan lancar dan cekap.\u00a0\n\n\nJenis-jenis Palam Pencucuh Yang Ada Dijual\u00a0\n\n\nTerdapat pelbagai jenis palam pencucuh yang dijual di pasaran. Apa yang membezakannya ialah logam yang digunakan pada bahagian elektrod. Mengenal pasti jenis palam pencucuh dalam kereta anda adalah penting untuk penyelenggaraan dan servis yang betul.\u00a0\n\n\n1. Palam Pencucuh Nikel Tembaga\n\n\nPalam pencucuh tembaga nikel merupakan jenis palam pencucuh yang paling biasa digunakan kerana harganya yang murah dan boleh bertahan untuk 20,000-30,000 km.\n\n\n\n\nSumber: Parts Europe\n\n\nElektrod palam pencucuh nikel tembaga ini diperbuat daripada nikel manakala bagi teras dalaman pula diperbuat daripada tembaga. Disebabkan tembaga mempunyai takat lebur yang rendah, ia mempunyai ketahanan yang rendah terhadap haba yang tinggi.\u00a0\n\n\nIa paling mudah didapati dan juga dijual pada harga yang murah.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Palam Pencucuh Platinum\n\n\nPalam pencucuh platinum pula menggunakan elektrod yang diperbuat daripada platinum, sejenis logam mahal yang tahan lasak. Palam pencucuh platinum mempunyai jangka hayat yang lebih lama daripada palam pencucuh tembaga nikel, dan juga menghasilkan percikan dengan haba yang lebih tinggi. Ini dapat mencegah pengumpulan karbon pada elektrod.\n\n\n\n\nSumber: Bosch Auto Parts\n\n\nPalam pencucuh platinum ada dua jenis: \nplatinum tunggal\n dan \ndwiplatinum\n. Palam pencucuh platinum biasa hanya memiliki elektrod tengah yang diperbuat daripada platinum dengan elektrod bumi diperbuat daripada nikel. Palam pencucuh dwiplatinum memiliki lapisan platinum pada kedua-dua elektrod tengah dan bumi.\u00a0\n\n\nPalam pencucuh platinum mempunyai beberapa kelebihan, antara lain:\n\n\n\n\nMempunyai jangka hayat yang lebih lama daripada palam pencucuh tembaga atau nikel, hingga 100,000 km.\n\n\nMenghasilkan haba yang lebih tinggi, yang dapat mencegah pengumpulan karbon pada elektrod.\n\n\nMeningkatkan prestasi enjin dengan menghasilkan percikan api yang lebih kuat dan stabil.\n\n\nMengurangkan penggunaan bahan api dengan meningkatkan pembakaran campuran udara dan petrol.\n\n\nMengurangkan pelepasan karbon dengan mengurangkan pembaziran bahan api.\n\n\n\n\n3. Palam Pencucuh Iridium\n\n\nPalam pencucuh iridium merupakan palam pencucuh yang paling mahal boleh didapati dalam pasaran. Nak tahu berapa harganya? Paling murah pun berharga RM120 untuk satu palam. Ada juga jenama lain yang dijual pada harga lebih RM200!\u00a0\n\n\nKenapa harganya mahal? Ia diperbuat daripada iridium, sejenis logam yang amat keras dan mahal. Selain terkenal dengan kekerasannya, ciri utama yang menjadikan iridium antara bahan terbaik sebagai bahan elektrod untuk palam pencucuh adalah takat lebur yang sangat tinggi iaitu mencecah 2,500\u2103.\n\n\n\n\nPalam pencucuh iridium mempunyai hujung yang sangat kecil lantas mengurangkan pengumpulan karbon di situ. Hasilnya, kurang pelepasan karbon dihasilkan dan jangka hayat yang lebih lama.\u00a0\n\n\nPalam pencucuh iridium juga lebih tahan lama iaitu sebanyak sehingga 150,000 km sebelum perlu ditukar.\u00a0\n\n\nPanduan Pilih Palam Pencucuh\u00a0\n\n\nAda banyak jenis tapi yang mana satu yang sesuai untuk kereta anda? Tak susah pun nak pilih palam pencucuh yang mana sesuai untuk kereta anda. Anda boleh ikuti panduan ini:\u00a0\n\n\n1. Rujuk Manual Kereta\u00a0\n\n\nCara paling mudah nak tahu palam pencucuh yang manakah sesuai untuk anda adalah dengan merujuk manual yang disediakan pengeluar kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nYa, buku itu tebal (sangat) tetapi ia merupakan rujukan utama anda untuk apa saja yang berkaitan dengan kereta anda termasuklah nak pilih palam pencucuh apa untuk kereta anda. Jadi, jangan buang buku manual kereta anda! Simpan di tempat yang mudah untuk anda capai.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Tahu Tabiat Pemanduan Anda\n\n\nBerapa kerap anda memandu? Adakah anda memandu dalam jarak yang jauh? Atau anda cuma memandu dalam bandar dan kerap berhenti?\u00a0\n\n\nAnda kena tahu macam mana corak dan tabiat pemanduan anda sebelum memilih palam pencucuh yang mana satu untuk kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSebagai contoh, jika anda kerap memandu dalam jarak yang jauh dengan kerap maka untuk prestasi yang lebih mantap, palam pencucuh dengan ketahanan haba yang tinggi.\u00a0\n\n\nTak berbaloi jika anda membeli palam pencucuh yang mahal tetapi anda jarang menggunakan kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Berapa Bajet Anda?\n\n\nKalau anda ada dompet yang tebal dan tak kisah langsung pasal bajet, anda boleh beli dan pasang palam pencucuh paling mahal yang ada dijual.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTetapi, jika anda cuma seorang rakyat marhaen (seperti penulis) dan jarang gunakan kereta atau gunakan kereta untuk pemanduan jarak sederhana, guna sajalah palam pencucuh biasa. Kereta anda tetap boleh berfungsi seperti biasa.\u00a0\n\n\nMahal Atau Murah, Yang Penting Beli Yang Ori!\u00a0\n\n\nTak kisahlah sama ada anda nak beli palam pencucuh tembaga nikel ataupun iridium, yang penting adalah untuk anda beli palam pencucuh yang asli dan bukannya yang tiruan.\u00a0\n\n\nNak lagi selamat? Beli daripada wakil penjual yang sah atau tukar di pusat servis yang bertauliah untuk jaminan ketulenan alat ganti.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan\n: \nOri atau Palsu?

Ia memerlukan penyelenggaraan secara berkala bagi memastikan keselamatan dan keselesaan sepanjang pemanduan. Jika aspek penyelenggaraan seperti tekanan angin tayar, tahap kehausan tayar, ia berpotensi untuk pecah atau pancit yang boleh membahayakan dan mengakibatkan risiko kehilangan nyawa.\n\n\n\n\nTayar Kereta Tiba-tiba Pecah, Bocor atau Pancit? Cara Tukar Tayar Kereta dengan Betul dan Mudah\n\n\nJika tayar kereta pancit atau bocor ketika sedang memandu, anda perlu bertenang \u2013 kawal stereng dengan kemas dan brek perlahan-lahan. Ikuti panduan langkah demi langkah berikut untuk menggantikan tayar yang pecah, bocor atau pancit.\n\n\nLangkah 1: Berhenti di Lokasi yang Selamat\n\n\nJika tayar kereta anda tiba-tiba bocor atau pancit semasa pemanduan, berhentikan kereta anda di lokasi yang selamat seperti di bahu jalan atau di kawasan tumpuan ramai. Jika boleh, elakkan berhenti di kawasan yang sunyi. Sebelum menukar tayar, pastikan kereta diletakkan di kawasan yang landai dan stabil. Permukaan jalan yang tidak rata boleh menyebabkan badan kereta anda terjatuh atau tergelincir daripada\n \njack\n kereta\n.\n\n\nUntuk keselamatan anda, hidupkan lampu kecemasan dan letakkan segi tiga amaran atau\n warning triangle kit\n sekurang-kurangnya 45 meter dari arah belakang kenderaan anda.\n\n\nLangkah 2: Sediakan Peralatan yang Diperlukan\n\n\nSebelum memulakan proses tukar tayar kereta yang pancit, keluarkan tayar \nspare\n atau tayar ganti serta peralatan-peralatan lain yang diperlukan daripada kereta anda. Jika tidak pasti, anda boleh merujuk manual kereta anda untuk mengetahui lokasi penyimpanan peralatan ini dalam kereta anda. Namun biasanya peralatan ini disimpan di bahagian belakang bawah pelapik ruang but kereta anda.\n\n\nPeralatan untuk Tukar Tayar \nSpare\n\n\nBerikut merupakan antara peralatan yang diperlukan untuk menukar atau menggantikan tayar kereta:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJack\n kereta\n\n\nSpanar atau \nlug wrench\n\n\nTayar \nspare\n\n\nKunci nat tayar (jika menggunakan\n sport rim\n)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLangkah 3: Longgarkan Nat Tayar\n\n\nGunakan \nlug wrench\n untuk menanggalkan nat atau skru tayar. Namun begitu, seperti dinyatakan di atas, pastikan anda meletakkan kereta anda dipermukaan yang rata terlebih dahulu untuk mengelakkan kereta daripada terjatuh atau tergelincir daripada\n jack\n kereta ketika proses penukaran tayar dilakukan.\n\n\nLangkah 4: Jack Kereta\n\n\nJika tidak pasti, rujuk manual untuk mengetahui lokasi yang sesuai untuk meletakkan \njack\n kereta. Biasanya, \njack\n kereta diletakkan di kedudukan yang berhampiran dengan tayar kereta anda. Jangan \njack\n kereta anda terlalu tinggi untuk mengelakkan risiko kereta terjatuh atau tergelincir\u2013sekadar mencukupi sehingga tayar kereta boleh dipusingkan.\n\n\nLangkah 5: Tukar Tayar Kereta\n\n\nTanggalkan atau keluarkan nat kereta dengan melawan arah jam (\nanticlockwise\n). Kemudian, tarik keluar tayar daripada kereta. Gantikan dengan tayar\n spare\n dan ketatkan nat tayar kereta semula.\n\n\nLangkah 6: Ketatkan Nat Tayar\n\n\nTurunkan semula kereta anda. Kemudian, pijak \nlug wrench\u00a0\ndengan kaki untuk memastikan cengkaman skru kuat dan selamat. Anda juga disarankan untuk mengetatkan nat tayar dalam secara pepenjuru (\ndiagonal\n).\n\n\nLangkah 7: Gantikan Tayar \nSpare\n dengan Segera\n\n\nSetelah menukar tayar kereta anda kepada tayar ganti, anda disarankan untuk menukar terus tayar kereta anda. Ini kerana tayar ganti hanya boleh bergerak secara purata sejauh 80 km hingga 113km pada kelajuan maksimum 80km/j.\n\n\nSecara amnya, memandu dengan laju atau melebihi jarak yang disyorkan semasa menggunakan tayar spare boleh meningkatkan risiko kemalangan seperti tayar pecah dan sebagainya. Oleh itu, anda disarankan untuk mempertimbangkan perkara-perkara berikut untuk keselamatan anda.\n\n\n\n\nSelamatkah Memandu Menggunakan Tayar \nSpare\n?\n\n\nTayar\n spare\n atau turut dikenali sebagai tayar ganti, tayar donat atau tayar simpanan merupakan antara istilah lain yang biasa didengari. Ia merupakan tayar kecil yang disediakan untuk membantu anda sekiranya anda berada dalam situasi kecemasan seperti tayar bocor, pecah atau pancit. Secara umumnya, tayar \nspare\n ini berfungsi menggantikan tayar kereta sedia ada buat sementara sekiranya berlaku situasi kecemasan bagi membolehkan anda membawa kenderaan ke bengkel berdekatan untuk menampal atau menukar tayar baharu.\n\n\nMengapa Tayar \nSpare\n Lebih Kecil Berbanding Tayar Biasa?\n\n\nTayar \nspare\n biasanya menggunakan rim berwarna kuning atau hitam dengan saiz yang lebih kecil atau kurang lebar berbanding tayar biasa (bergantung pada model kereta anda). Berikut merupakan faktor tayar ganti dihasilkan dalam saiz yang lebih kecil berbanding tayar kereta sedia ada:\n\n\n1. Menjimatkan Ruang\n\n\nTayar \nspare\n biasanya dihasilkan dalam saiz yang lebih kecil bagi menjimatkan ruang penyimpanan dalam kenderaan anda. Jika tayar ganti mempunyai saiz yang sama dengan tayar sedia ada, anda mungkin menghadapi masalah ruang penyimpanan yang terhad. Dalam erti kata lain, semakin kecil saiz tayar ganti kereta anda, semakin besar ruang yang boleh dijimatkan sekali gus membolehkan anda memaksimumkan ruang simpanan dalam kereta anda. Biasanya, tayar ganti diletakkan di bahagian belakang bawah pelapik ruang but kereta anda.\n\n\n2. Mengurangkan Berat\n\n\nSaiz tayar \nspare\n yang kecil ini bukan sahaja membantu menjimatkan ruang dalam kereta, malah dapat mengurangkan berat kereta anda. Tayar ganti biasanya diperbuat daripada bahan yang lebih ringan, tidak seperti tayar komersial yang dijual di pasaran. Saiz tayar ganti yang lebih ringan ini secara tidak langsung dapat mengurangkan berat kereta secara keseluruhan. Kereta dengan bebanan yang lebih berat biasanya akan memberi kesan negatif terhadap penggunaan bahan api.\n\n\n3. Menurunkan Harga\n\n\nSeperti dinyatakan di atas, tayar \nspare\n biasanya diperbuat daripada bahan yang lebih ringan dan kecil. Ini bermaksud, ia tidak memerlukan kos yang tinggi untuk dihasilkan. Kos penghasilan yang rendah ini secara tidak langsung tidak akan menambahkan kos untuk pemilikan kereta dan memberi kesan langsung kepada harga jualan kereta di pasaran.\n\n\nTips Pemanduan Semasa Menggunakan Tayar\n Spare\n\n\nSecara amnya, tayar \nspare\n tidak sesuai untuk digunakan bagi pemanduan jarak jauh dalam tempoh yang lama. Ia berfungsi untuk penggunaan sementara untuk membolehkan anda bergerak ke kedai tayar atau bengkel untuk menukar atau menggantikan tayar anda sekiranya berlaku situasi tayar bocor, pecah atau pancit. Jika anda memandu menggunakan tayar ganti, amalkan tips pemanduan berikut untuk keselamatan anda sepanjang pemanduan:\n\n\n1. Pengendalian Kereta Mungkin Terjejas\u2013Sistem Brek, Stereng dan Tayar\n\n\nPenggunaan tayar \nspare\u00a0\nsememangnya selamat dan tidak membahayakan. Namun begitu, jika anda mengambil masa yang lama sebelum menggantikan tayar baharu, ia mungkin boleh memberi kesan\u00a0kepada prestasi brek, stereng dan tayar kereta anda. Malah, kereta juga berpotensi untuk senget kereta saiz tayar ganti biasanya lebih kecil berbanding tayar kereta sedia ada.\n\n\n2. Pandu Perlahan dan Berhati-hati\n\n\nTayar \nspare\n berfungsi untuk penggunaan sementara dan tidak direka untuk penggunaan yang lama dan pemanduan laju. Oleh itu, anda disarankan untuk tidak memandu melebihi 80 km/j sebagai langkah keselamatan. Selain itu, anda juga disarankan untuk memandu di laluan paling kiri semasa menggunakan tayar ganti.\n\n\n3. Periksa Tekanan Angin Tayar \nSpare\n\n\nTekanan angin yang disarankan untuk tayar \nspare\n ialah sekitar 60 PSI. Oleh itu, pastikan anda memeriksa angin tayar ini secara berkala untuk mengelakkan tayar ganti kempis semasa ingin digunakan.\n\n\n4. Kecekapan Sistem Keselamatan Tidak Efisien\n\n\nSemasa menggunakan tayar \nspare \nanda disarankan untuk tidak memandu dengan terburu-buru atau tergesa-gesa. Ini kerana, sistem kawalan kestabilan elektronik atau sistem kawalan cengkaman mungkin tidak berfungsi dengan optimum seperti penggunaan tayar biasa.\n\n\n\n\nSemoga perkongsian ini dapat membantu anda sekiranya anda berada dalam situasi tayar kereta pecah, bocor atau pancit.

World Environment Day provides an excellent opportunity to reflect on our actions and find ways to make a positive impact.\n\n\nOne effective method to decrease our carbon footprint is by embracing \nused cars\n. Not only does this choice offer financial benefits, but it also contributes significantly to environmental conservation.\n\n\nLet\u2019s explore the advantages of buying used cars and how they can help Malaysians in reducing our carbon footprint.\n\n\nWhat is Carbon Footprint?\n\n\nBefore delving into the benefits of used cars, it\u2019s essential to understand the concept of a carbon footprint. A carbon footprint refers to the total amount of greenhouse gasses, primarily carbon dioxide, released into the atmosphere as a result of human activities.\n\n\n\n\nThese activities include transportation, energy consumption, and industrial processes. Reducing our carbon footprint is crucial for combating climate change and protecting the environment for future generations.\n\n\nHow is Carbon Footprint Measured?\n\n\nThe carbon footprint of an individual or organization is calculated by considering their direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions. It includes emissions from various sources such as electricity usage, transportation, manufacturing, and waste disposal.\n\n\nBy quantifying our carbon footprint, we can identify areas where we can make changes to reduce our impact on the environment.\n\n\nImportance of Reducing Carbon Footprint\n\n\nReducing our carbon footprint is vital for several reasons. First and foremost, it helps mitigate climate change. The excessive release of greenhouse gasses, especially carbon dioxide, is the primary cause of global warming. By reducing our carbon emissions, we can slow down the pace of climate change, preserving natural resources and ecosystems.\n\n\nFurthermore, decreasing our carbon footprint improves air quality, leading to better human health. Many greenhouse gasses contribute to air pollution, which can have detrimental effects on respiratory and cardiovascular health.\n\n\nBy adopting sustainable practices, such as choosing used cars over new ones, we can reduce emissions and promote cleaner air.\n\n\nThe Impact of Cars on Carbon Footprint\n\n\nCars play a significant role in contributing to carbon emissions and, consequently, our carbon footprint. The transportation sector is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions globally. In Malaysia, where car ownership is prevalent, the impact is particularly significant.\n\n\n\n\nIt is crucial to acknowledge the environmental consequences of our transportation choices and seek alternatives that are more eco-friendly.\n\n\nContribution of Cars to Carbon Emissions\n\n\nThe combustion of fossil fuels in cars releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. The emissions from cars contribute to air pollution, smog formation, and climate change.\n\n\nThe higher the fuel consumption of a vehicle, the more significant its carbon emissions will be. Therefore, finding ways to reduce fuel consumption is paramount in decreasing our carbon footprint.\n\n\nEnvironmental Impact of New Cars\n\n\nWhile purchasing a new car may seem appealing, it\u2019s important to consider the environmental impact. The production of new cars requires significant amounts of energy and raw materials, resulting in high carbon emissions even before they hit the road.\n\n\nThe Benefits of Buying Used Cars\n\n\nBuying used cars\n offers several advantages, both for individuals and the environment. Let\u2019s explore the benefits of choosing used cars over new ones.\n\n\nSave More With Used Cars\n\n\nOne of the most appealing aspects of buying a used car is the savings that it offers. Used cars are generally more affordable than new ones, making them an attractive option for budget-conscious individuals.\n\n\n\n\nBy opting for a used car, you can save money on the purchase \nprice and potentially lower insurance premiums. These cost savings can be redirected towards other essential expenses or invested in sustainable accessories for your car such as environmentally-friendly window tints, eco-friendly tires, or car mats made from recyclable materials.\n\n\nExtended Lifespan & Reduced Waste\n\n\nAnother advantage of buying used cars is their extended lifespan. Well-maintained used cars are known to be reliable for many years. By purchasing a used car instead of a new one, you will contribute to reducing waste and the environmental impact associated with the disposal of old cars.\n\n\nHow To Reduce Carbon Footprint In Malaysia\n\n\nNow that we understand the benefits of used cars, let\u2019s explore the steps that we can take to decrease our carbon footprint when we choose used cars.\n\n\nChoose Fuel-Efficient Cars\n\n\nWhen buying a used car, it\u2019s crucial to conduct thorough research to identify fuel-efficient models. Look for cars that offer the best fuel efficiency ratings or even hybrid/electric options that consume less fuel or operate on alternative energy sources.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nConsider additional factors such as engine size, transmission, and weight, as these can impact fuel-efficiency.\n\n\nPerform Regular Maintenance & Tuning\n\n\nTo ensure optimal fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, it\u2019s important to prioritize regular maintenance and tuning for your used vehicle. Schedule routine maintenance checks, such as oil changes, air filter replacements, and tire rotations.\n\n\nRegular tuning and maintenance not only improve fuel efficiency but also enhance the overall performance and lifespan of the vehicle.\n\n\nCarpooling & Alternative Transportation Options\n\n\nIn addition to choosing a fuel-efficient used car, consider alternative transportation options to further reduce your carbon footprint. Carpooling with family members, colleagues, or neighbors can significantly decrease the number of cars on the road, resulting in lower emissions.\n\n\n\n\nAdditionally, utilizing park and ride facilities can also be an effective strategy when you\u2019re looking for alternative transportation options. These facilities provide convenient parking spaces where individuals can leave their cars and transfer to public transportation, such as buses or trains, for the remainder of their journey. By using park and ride facilities, you can reduce traffic congestion, promote sustainable transportation, and contribute to a greener environment.\n\n\nRead more:\n \nEverything You Need to Know About Congestion Charge\n\n\nSteering Towards a Sustainable Tomorrow\n\n\nAs we commemorate World Environment Day, it\u2019s crucial to reflect on our individual actions and their impact on the environment. A great way for Malaysians to contribute to reducing our carbon footprint is by embracing used cars.\n\n\nNot only do used cars offer significant cost savings, but they also contribute to lower emissions. By following the steps outlined in this article, such as researching fuel-efficient models, practicing regular maintenance, and exploring alternative transportation options, Malaysians can make a positive impact on the environment and play their part in environmental conservation.\n\n\nBy choosing used vehicles, we can collectively work towards a greener future, promoting sustainable transportation choices and preserving the planet for generations to come.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a quality pre-owned car that has been professionally refurbished to guarantee safety, comfort, and a refurbished aesthetics, you definitely can\u2019t go wrong with CARSOME Certified cars!\n\n\nEvery car also comes with an extended one year warranty, five days money back guarantee, and a fixed price with no hidden fees.

After all, you\u2019ll need a car to commute to class, attend club activities, and hang out with friends. While there are numerous cars available on the market, it can be challenging to find a car that\u2019s safe and comfortable while being affordable at the same time.\u00a0\n\n\nTo help you find the right car, here are six of the best cars for students. And the best thing is, they\u2019re all available on \nCARSOME\n.\n\n\nQualities to Look Out for in a Car\n\n\nWhether you\u2019re a student looking for a car or whether you\u2019re choosing a car for your college-going son/daughter, there are several criteria you should consider. Besides the price of the car, you also need to prioritize comfort and safety. Here are some things to consider to help you choose the right car.\n\n\n\n\nPrice:\n Look for a car that\u2019s within your budget. Do also keep in mind the ownership cost of the car including the insurance, road tax, fuel, toll, and other expenditures you\u2019ll have to bear. To get more options at better prices, you can also consider second-hand cars such as the ones we have at CARSOME.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEase of maintenance:\n Look for a car that\u2019s reliable and easy to maintain to minimize trips to the workshop. The car should also have affordable spare parts and consumables (such as engine oil and transmission oil) to ensure an economical ownership experience.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFuel efficiency:\n The best car for a student should be fuel-efficient especially if it\u2019ll be used daily. If you drive a fuel-guzzling D-segment car to campus every day, even if it\u2019s a short distance, you\u2019d be surprised at how much you\u2019ll have to spend refueling it.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPracticality:\n A college student\u2019s car should be practical in the sense that it\u2019s easy to maneuver around town, with enough space for passengers, and enough power for daily commutes.\n\n\n\n\nSafety:\n All modern cars now come with basic safety features such as dual airbags, anti-lock braking systems (ABS), electronic brake distribution (EBD), and multiple parking sensors. Therefore, there\u2019s no reason to get one without these features. If you have some extra budget and want a more future-proof car, you can even get one with advanced \nsafety features\n such as an advanced driver assistance system (A.D.A.S) that includes adaptive cruise control (ACC), rear cross-traffic alert (RCTA), and more.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nBring on the Budget: Buying a Car for Your Teen\n\n\n1. Perodua Axia (RM20,400 \u2013 RM37,400)\n\n\n\n\nA 2017 Perodua Axia G 1.0 sold for RM31,400 on CARSOME\n\n\nThe \nPerodua Axia\n is the go-to choice for many parents buying a car for their college-going kids. It\u2019s affordable, compact, easy to maintain, and is a certified Energy Efficient Vehicle that sips fuel. The Axia is powered by a 1.0L engine with electronic fuel injection (EFI) and Variable Valve Timing-Intelligent (VVT-i) making it a reliable, fuel-efficient, and easy-to-drive car.\n\n\nIts compact size allows for easy maneuverability around town and easy parking on campus where parking spaces are scarce. That said, don\u2019t let it fool you \u2013 it also has a decently sized cabin and a 260L boot. All the seats, even the front passenger seat, can fold down allowing students to carry large items home during the semester break.\u00a0\n\n\nThe Axia has a 4-Star ASEAN NCAP Safety Rating with all the necessary safety features. Higher-range variants even have vehicle stability control (VSC), traction control (TC), and Perodua\u2019s Advanced Safety Assist (A.S.A) 2.0 for peace of mind. With its affordable price and wealth of features, the Perodua Axia is undoubtedly among the best cars for students.\n\n\n2. Perodua Bezza (RM33,700 \u2013 RM48,900)\n\n\n\n\nA 2017 Perodua Bezza X 1.3 sold for RM40,900 on CARSOME\n\n\nIf the Axia is too small, you might want to consider its larger sibling, the \nPerodua Bezza\n. This compact sedan is affordable and economical like the Axia but has a more refined interior and a large 508L boot making it a great car for students whose campuses are out of state. The Bezza also offers flexibility with its powertrain as it\u2019s offered in a 1.0L or 1.3L engine.\n\n\nOther amenities in the Bezza include a handphone slot and USB charging port for rear passengers, a luggage net in the boot, and a multipurpose compartment on the driver\u2019s side. Like its smaller sibling, the Bezza also has the same advanced safety features with a 5-Star ASEAN NCAP Safety Rating. That\u2019s one star more than the Axia.\n\n\n3. Proton Iriz (RM27,400 \u2013 RM50,900)\n\n\n\n\nA 2021 Proton Iriz Premium 1.6 CVT sold for RM49,900 on CARSOME\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a more solidly built hatchback that\u2019s comfortable and stable on the highway, the \nProton Iriz\n won\u2019t disappoint. The Iriz comes with either a 1.3L or 1.6L engine giving it enough power for daily commutes and weekend road trips. Proton\u2019s signature ride and handling allow the Iriz to handle corners well and feel planted on the road like a bigger car. That means better passenger comfort.\n\n\nIt\u2019s also equipped with up to six SRS airbags, traction control, and hill hold assist (HHA), while the Executive and Active variants have the addition of front parking sensors and a reverse camera. Overall, the Proton Iriz is easy and affordable to maintain, with a decent fuel economy of around 14.5 km/L. The refined ride quality and affordability of the Iriz make it one of the best cars for students and young adults entering the workforce.\n\n\nRead More:\n \n6 Industry Secrets Shared by CARSOME Inspectors\n\n\n4. Proton Saga (RM17,900 \u2013 RM32,400)\n\n\n\n\nA 2016 Proton Saga Standard 1.3 sold for RM25,400 on CARSOME\n\n\nAs Malaysia\u2019s first national car, the \nProton Saga\n is a well-loved icon. After numerous updates over the years, the Saga remains an affordable sedan that\u2019s great for students and \nfamilies\n alike. The third generation Proton Saga is has a 1.3L engine with options of a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission.\n\n\nNotable features on the Saga include three USB charging ports, Eco Drive Assist to help you minimize fuel consumption, a spacious 480L boot with folding rear seats, and a smartphone mirror-link via USB. Although it\u2019s a budget sedan, the Proton Saga is equipped with a decent amount of safety features including two SRS airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), and hill hold assist (HHA).\n\n\n5. Perodua Myvi (RM22,900 \u2013 RM54,900)\n\n\n\n\nA 2021 Perodua Myvi X 1.3 sold for RM47,900 on CARSOME\n\n\nAs the best-selling car in Malaysia, the \nPerodua Myvi\n is also a contender for the best car for students.

The \nMalaysian Department of Insolvency (MDI)\n reported that car loans are the second largest contributor to bankruptcy among Malaysians. Across the span between \n2018 \nand 2022, out of 49,133 cases of bankruptcy reported, 14.39% are caused by poor financial planning and the high cost of car loans.\u00a0\nHowever, cases have consistently decreased from 3,392 in 2018 to 441 in 2022. MDI\u2019s data shows that car loans ranked only fourth as the cause of bankruptcy cases as of 2022. It seems more Malaysians, especially fresh graduates are slowly learning the consequences of poor financial planning the hard way.\u00a0\n\n\nThe cold, bitter truth for Malaysians is, our nation is abhorrently a car-centric country. Public transportation is underdeveloped and unreliable, which forces the hands of many white and blue-collar workers alike to fork out half their pay just to get from point A to B reliably.\u00a0\n\n\nBuying a brand-new car with your hard-earned money is seen as a symbol of success. Some people will go to lengths to impress others but are unable to keep up with the monthly installments. They either get declared bankrupt or forced to sell their car to someone else under \nsambung bayar\n.\n\n\nWhile this writer laments that financial literacy should be an essential class taught in schools, we can, however, learn from the mistakes of those who fell into the brand-new car trap. Getting a used car as a fresh graduate does not have all the glam and glory of a brand-new one, but it can get the job done for a fraction of the cost. Furthermore, with the rumors of a car price hike going around, there is no harm to prepare before the storm. Here\u2019s why used cars are future-proof for a fresh graduate.\u00a0\n\n\nLow Initial Cost\n\n\nPutting aside the elephant in the room, getting a used car shaves off a huge fraction of the initial cost to purchase a car. According to Carlist.my, a new car can \nlose up to 30% of its value\n in the first year of ownership. This means that a fresh graduate who buys a new car could be left with a vehicle that is worth significantly less than what they paid for it. If they need to sell the car for any reason, they may find that they are unable to recoup their investment. This can lead to financial hardship and even bankruptcy.\n\n\nBrand-new cars, even locally assembled Complete Knockdown Units (CKD) are still expensive despite today\u2019s standards of living. According to \nGlassdoor\n, fresh graduate salaries in Malaysia are still stagnant with an average of RM2,500 as of 2023. Getting a used car can mitigate this problem as cars are always a depreciating asset.\u00a0\n\n\nBy getting a used car as a fresh graduate, you reap more or less the same benefits of a brand-new car but with a cheaper downpayment, installments, and even \ninsurance\n. As my parents used to say \u2013 start small, then slowly work your way up until you can afford a better upgrade. Moreover, some car brands and dealers even offer extended warranties. Do your own diligent research or ask any reputable used car dealer.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nHow to Claim Your 1-Year CARSOME Extended Warranty\n\n\nExisting Information on Make And Model is Widely Available Online\n\n\n\n\nImage Source: Carlist\n\n\nHere\u2019s a problem when it comes to newer cars even I still struggle with sometimes \u2013 what will happen to a brand new car once the warranty wears off? Newer cars these days seem to fall for this trend as there are reports of cars being sold immediately due to their unreliability after the \u201choneymoon\u201d period is over. If your new car starts to have issues, there will be little to no information online as such problems have yet to be documented by other owners.\u00a0\n\n\nPeople always advise to never buy a car that is more than five years old (unless it\u2019s a Toyota, as time after time again they have \nproven its reliability\n) or a used continental car, but such statements can be a two-way street. There are reliable cars, be they older than ten years or running continental cars out there. You just need to look for a reputable dealer and a \nmeticulous owner\n. Even if you still managed to get yourself a used continental, and your car starts showing some problems, some brands and models have dedicated communities online to assist you. Forums like \ntoyotanation.com\n, \nbimmerforums.com\n, and \nbenzworld.org\n can provide you with all the input you need from experienced owners of said model.\u00a0\n\n\nSome brands like BMW are aware of this problem and have extended warranties even on used ones, so be sure to check with the dealer about it.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nCar Loan Rejected as a Fresh Grad? Here\u2019s Why & How You Can Buy Your First Car\n\n\nCheaper on Maintenance Due to Plenty of Aftermarket Support\u00a0\n\n\nFor fresh graduates, you\u2019d want something that is \ndurable and reliable\n all for a bargain price. Our suggestion is to get a domestic or Japanese-branded car in the used market. Japanese automakers are known for their simplicity in design and rigorous testing before they are released to the public. \nToyota tests its cars\n in extreme environments to ensure that they perform well under all conditions. Such tests help identify potential issues before the cars are released to the market, thus reducing the risk of mechanical issues later on. Domestic branded cars are also cheap and reliable for fresh graduates as mechanically, they share the same DNA as their Japanese cousins at Toyota, Daihatsu, and Mitsubishi.\u00a0\n\n\nThe Toy0- I mean, Perodua Myvi shares the same parts as their Japanese cousins.\n\n\nParts for these cars are a no-brainer to source in Malaysia in addition, these parts can be installed plug-and-play at any workshop. Did you know you can source \nMitsubishi parts\n and use them in a Proton or Daihatsu parts in a Myvi? As a fresh graduate, it\u2019s important to pick a car that is easy to maintain and cheap to own to give you peace of mind during your daily commute. Buying a used continental or a brand new one may have a much more \u201cwow\u201d factor to impress your family and peers. But in the long run, you\u2019ll waste too much time looking for car spare parts, leaving your car aside till you save up for it.\n\n\nNeed vs Want\n\n\nThere is a Chinese idiom that says \u2013 ride a cow to find a horse. As a fresh graduate, buying a used car is a financially safer option as it allows them to lower their total cost of ownership, and have greater flexibility in \nmanaging their finances\n. Once you get a higher salary later down the line, then maybe you can consider upgrading to a much better car.\u00a0\n\n\nAt the end of the day, the choice is really up to your budget, preference, and the plans you have with it. If you\u2019re someone who\u2019s into \nmodifying cars\n like me, it is best to start off with a used model as it has a lower initial cost which allows me to have more budget to buy more parts. If you\u2019re looking for a car as a mere transport to get to places reliably, why splurge so much money on a brand new car just to impress the wrong crowd? As such, fresh graduates should consider their financial situation and budget it out thoroughly before making a major purchase decision.\u00a0\n\n\nThis article was originally published by \nWapcar\n.\u00a0\n\n", "Tags\nBuying a Car\nCars\nCARSOME Certified\nComparison\nCosts\nDriving\nLearning Centre", "Brian Wong", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Here Are the Cars with the Best Resale Value in Malaysia", "By\n \nCarsome Author", "05/11/2019", "\n\n\n\n\n", "*First published on 5 November 2019, updated on 6 May 2022 to reflect the latest information.\n\n\nWhen it comes to \npurchasing a car\n in Malaysia, many buyers look at the car\u2019s resale value. Since buying a car in Malaysia can be quite costly, you can get the most value out of it by minimizing its depreciation. To do that, you have to pick the car with the best resale value so that when you sell it off, you can get a better price for it.\u00a0\n\n\nAs a general rule, a new car loses approximately 20 percent of its value in the first year and 15 percent every subsequent year until the fifth year. After 10 years, a car can generally sell for 10 percent of its original value. However, the resale value of a used car depends on various factors including its popularity, reliability, and maintenance cost, so the depreciation rate can vary from car to car.\n\n\nTo help you decide on your next car, we\u2019ve compiled the top five pre-owned cars with the best resale value in Malaysia after five years. Do note that the prices listed are estimated based on average resale prices in the current market.\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Myvi\n\n\nThe \nPerodua Myvi\n has consistently been the best-selling car in Malaysia since it was launched. Besides its practicality, affordability, and low maintenance cost, the Myvi has the best resale value compared to other cars in Malaysia.\u00a0\n\n\nThe third-generation Myvi launched in 2017 and introduced a host of modern safety features including Perodua\u2019s Advanced Safety Assist (A.S.A) suite which was a first for a car at this price point. The range-topping 2017 Perodua Myvi Advance has a 1.5-liter engine, leather interior, and the most extensive safety suite in the lineup. It retails for RM55,300 when it was newly launched.\n\n\n2017 Perodua Myvi 1.5 Advance\n\n\n\n\nPrice of new Perodua Myvi 1.5 Advance in 2017 = RM55,300\n\n\nResale value today = RM42,000 to RM47,000\n\n\nEstimated depreciation over five years = 15.0 to 24.1 percent\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHonda Civic\n\n\nThe \nHonda Civic\n is another car that enjoys a high resale value in Malaysia. After all, it\u2019s one of the most popular C-segment vehicles both among car enthusiasts and the average driver. The tenth-generation FC Honda Civic was launched in 2016 and features various improvements including an aggressive fastback silhouette and a new 1.5-liter turbocharged engine.\n\n\nOther notable features on the Civic include a large, 519-liter boot, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, an improved continuously variable transmission (CVT), and paddle shifters. The range-topping turbocharged Civic 1.5 TC-P produces 173 PS of power and 220 Nm of torque. Priced at RM 131,833 new in 2017, this car still maintains one of the best resale values in Malaysia.\n\n\n2017 Honda Civic 1.5 TC-P\n\n\n\n\nPrice of a new Honda Civic 1.5 TC-Premium in 2017 = RM131,833\n\n\nResale value today = RM92,000 to RM107,000\n\n\nEstimated depreciation over five years = 18.8 to 30.2 percent\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nHow to Improve Your Car\u2019s Market Value\n\n\n\n\nHonda City\n\n\nThere is a reason why the \nHonda City\n is one of the best-selling foreign cars in Malaysia. This B-segment sedan offers modern styling, a spacious interior, and good performance in an affordable package. That\u2019s why it also enjoys a good resale value and high demand on the secondary market. The sixth-generation Honda City was launched in 2014 and received a facelift in 2017 with upgraded styling and features.\u00a0\n\n\nPowered by a 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine producing 120 PS of power and 145 Nm of torque, it also has hill-start assist, electronic stability control, and emergency stop signal as standard. The range-topping City 1.5 V was priced at RM92,000 new in 2017 and has six airbags, full LED lighting, and an impressive eight-speaker setup. Thanks to its modern styling and extensive features, the Honda City takes the top spot as the non-national B-segment car with the best resale value in Malaysia.\n\n\n2017 Honda City 1.5 V\n\n\n\n\nPrice of new Honda City 1.5 V in 2017 = RM92,000\n\n\nResale value today = RM56,000 to RM68,000\n\n\nEstimated depreciation over five years = 26.1 to 39.1 percent\n\n\n\n\n\n\nToyota Corolla Altis\n\n\nThe 11th generation \nToyota Corolla Altis\n sedan that was launched in Malaysia back in 2014 received a facelift for 2017 which included several upgrades. Besides the iconic Toyota reliability, the 2017 model introduced seven airbags and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) as standard across the range.\u00a0\n\n\nThe top-spec Corolla Altis 2.0 V is powered by a 2.0-liter engine with 143 PS of power and 187 Nm of torque mated to a seven-speed CVT. It also has LED projector headlamps with DRLs, a seven-inch touchscreen head unit with DVD and Smartphone link, cruise control, and push-start ignition. It was originally priced at RM134,865 in 2017. However, it can now be had for less than RM100,000 making it a second-hand car with excellent resale value.\n\n\n2017 Toyota Corolla Altis 2.0 V\n\n\n\n\nPrice of a new Toyota Corolla Altis 2.0 V in 2017 = RM134,865\n\n\nResale value today = RM 80,000 to RM90,000\n\n\nEstimated depreciation over five years = 33.3 to 40.7 percent\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nHow to Know When It\u2019s Time to Sell Your Car\n\n\n\n\nToyota Vios\n\n\nAs a close competitor of the Honda City, the \nToyota Vios\n is another affordable B-segment sedan. Launched all the way back in 2013, this Vios received some updates in 2015 that included keyless entry and push start, a black leather interior, and door scuff plates. Although it\u2019s not as well equipped as the 2017 facelifted Honda City, the Vios was priced from RM74,154 for the base manual J variant to RM93,530 for the TRD Sportivo variant.\n\n\nThe Vios is powered by the trusty 1NZ-FE 1.5-liter engine producing 109 PS of power and 141 Nm of torque. The most popular G variant is priced at RM 87,096 new and has blue front footwell illumination, security and solar tint film, an upgraded 6.1 touchscreen infotainment system, and a reverse camera. If you\u2019re looking for a reliable car with good resale value, you can\u2019t go wrong with the Toyota Vios.\n\n\n2017 Toyota Vios 1.5 G\n\n\n\n\nPrice of a new Toyota Vios 1.5 G in 2017 = RM87,096\n\n\nResale value today = RM50,000 to RM64,000\n\n\nEstimated depreciation over five years = 26.5 to 42.6 percent\n\n\n\n\nWhat Determines Your Car\u2019s Resale Value\n\n\nYour car model might have the best resale value in Malaysia, but that doesn\u2019t guarantee you can sell it at the price you want. After all, its price also heavily depends on the car\u2019s condition, among other things. Here are the four main factors that \naffect your car\u2019s resale value\n.\n\n\n\n\nIts condition:\n Keeping your car in good condition can give it a better price. Scratches, chips, and odors can reduce a car\u2019s price, so it\u2019s best to keep your interior and exterior as clean and damage-free as possible. Before putting your car up for sale, do a thorough clean-up of your car to make it more presentable to potential buyers.\n\n\nMileage:\n A car with high mileage is more likely to have a lower resale value due to the wear and tear on its parts. To offset this, it\u2019s important to have your car regularly serviced.\n\n\nMaintenance history:\n While sending your car for regular servicing is important, proper documentation of your maintenance history is equally important to preserve its market value. With proper documentation, you have proof that your car is well maintained and with quality parts.\n\n\nAftermarket modifications:\n Modifying your car with aftermarket parts may improve your car\u2019s performance and driving experience. However, most used car buyers and dealers prefer to buy a car with factory original parts as non-original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts can wear out faster and lead to other problems. If you want your car to have the best resale value, it\u2019s best to avoid aftermarket modifications.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThere you have it, our top pre-owned cars with the best resale value in Malaysia. If you\u2019re looking to sell your car or check your value, you can use our \ncar price estimator\n.\u00a0\n\n\nSell Your Car Easily with Carsome\n\n\nSelling your pre-owned car through Carsome is not only convenient but you can expect honest prices too. Here is how to sell your car with us:\n\n\n\n\nBook an appointment:\n You first need to \nschedule an appointment\n online to have your car professionally inspected.

Apart from the vaccine for Covid-19 that might be ready next year, there will also be some new rollouts from the automotive industry! Here are the top 5 cars launching in 2021.\n\n\n\n\nCars Launching in 2021\n\n\nPerodua D55L 2021\n\n\nimage source : paultan.org\n\n\nApart from \nBezza\n facelift and \nMyvi\n\u2019s new color choices, we didn\u2019t see new models from Perodua this year. But that\u2019s about to change in 2021 with their latest compact SUV that is set to launch next year. It is said to take its place above the Myvi in the local line up and it will be Perodua\u2019s next product that will draw in massive sales figures, as seen in the popularity of SUVs in Malaysia. It is currently known as the D55L, as they haven\u2019t figured out a suitable name for this car just yet.\n\n\nHonda City Hatchback 2021\n\n\nimage source: indianautosblog.com\n\n\nAs we all know, Malaysians have absolutely loved their \nHonda City\n ever since its introduction in 1996. You might not know this, but Honda City was actually created as a hatchback and this is the version which will be introduced in Malaysia next year. The City Hatchback line-up is powered by the same engine used by its sedan sibling, with a 1.0 litre (998 cc) VTEC Turbo three-cylinder delivering 122 PS at 5,500 rpm and 173 Nm of torque from 2,000 to 4,500 rpm. The mill, which works with E20 gasohol, is paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that drives the front wheels. This car is said to be a direct competition to Toyota Yaris, one of the most famous Hatchbacks in Malaysia.\n\n\nToyota Harrier 2021\n\n\nimage source: Toyota\n\n\nThe all new Toyota Harrier has been revealed in Japan in June this year and is said to be available throughout Asia including Malaysia in 2021. Being the 4\nth\n generation Harrier, this car gains a fresh front fascia with sharp LED headlights and taillights, where height has been lowered 30mm to compliment that as well as having an almost sloping roof design. This car is also powered by a four cylinder that produces 169hp and 207nm (153lb-ft) of torque, with power sent to the front wheels only, but AWD is optional.\n\n\nVolkswagen Golf GTi 2021\n\n\nimage source: autoevolution.com\n\n\nVolkswagen Malaysia might launch 3 different car models next year, but the one that has got all of us excited is the 8\nth\n Generation Volkswagen Golf GTi. For the very first time, this car will be assembled locally and will have a sticker in its front mirror that says, \u201cAssembled and Inspected by Hicom\u201d. Since it is assembled here, the price of this iconic German car would be much cheaper compared to the others in this line. \nWhile its general shape remains the same, the new GTI comes packed full of new technologies, greater overall refinement, and more power under its hood than ever.\n\n\nToyota Corolla Cross 2021\n\n\n\n\nThe all new Toyota Corolla Cross made its first global debut in Thailand back in July, and Malaysians cannot wait for this car to be released in Malaysia next year. This car is developed based on the concept of \u201cCorolla Meets SUV\u201d and despite having\n Corolla\n as part of its name, this SUV has truly little in common with the sedan in terms of exterior styling. We only get to see some parts of the Corolla as the SUV\u2019s dashboard, centre stack and centre console are pretty much identical to its sedan sibling. Toyota says the Corolla Cross offers ample interior space for up to five passengers and up to 487 litres of space with a puncture repair kit (440 litres with a temporary spare tyre). This car will be available in 4 variants \u2013 1.8 Sport, Hybrid Smart, Hybrid Premium and Hybrid Premium Safety.\n\n\nSome of the other upcoming cars that will be releasing in 2021 include:\n\n\n\n\nBMW 5 Series 2021\n\n\nHonda Civic 2021\n\n\nLexus LS 2021\n\n\nMazda CX-9 2021\n\n\nMazda MX-30 2021\n\n\nNissan Kicks 2021\n\n\nNissan Navara 2021\n\n\nProton Iriz 2021\n\n\nProton Persona 2021\n\n\nVolvo S90 2021\n\n\n\n\nNow that you know which cars are launching in 2021, you might want to sell off your current car to make some extra space in your garage for the new addition. \nSell your car\n to Carsome.

This is why every CARSOME Certified car needs to pass a stringent 175-point inspection to ensure they are free from major accident and flood damage.\n\n\n\n\nHere are the four pillars of our 175-point inspection that ensures you will get quality pre-owned cars that you can trust when you choose CARSOME Certified cars.\n\n\nExterior Inspection\n\n\nOur 175-point inspection begins with the inspection of the car\u2019s exterior, where our professional inspectors will carefully inspect the car\u2019s body panels, doors, rims, tires and wheels, as well as its lights and mirrors.\n\n\nDuring this inspection our inspector will be paying close attention to its chassis or engine number. By verifying that the car\u2019s serial number has not been tampered with, we can ensure that it is not a cloned car and has not been declared a total loss vehicle.\n\n\nOn top of that, another important aspect of this inspection is to check the integrity of a car\u2019s chassis. Here, our inspectors will focus on the car\u2019s joints during the inspection to determine whether the car has been in an accident and has had its key areas repaired or tampered with.\n\n\nInterior Inspection\n\n\nAfter the exterior inspection is complete, our inspector will proceed to inspect the car\u2019s interior. This inspection involves all the interior amenities, safety belts, audio and alarm systems, air conditioning system, carpet, door locks and the luggage compartment.\n\n\n\n\nOur inspector will keep an eye on the instrument panel for any flashing or illuminated warning signs, while going through all the knobs and buttons to make sure everything is working properly.\n\n\nThe air conditioning system will also be given priority during this inspection. It should properly circulate cold air and if it doesn\u2019t, our inspector will mark it during the inspection so it will be repaired at our CARSOME Certified Lab.\n\n\nShort Road Test\n\n\nAside from inspecting the exterior and interior of the car, our professional inspectors will also take the car out for a short road test. This is an important part of the inspection to find out if the car\u2019s engine is working properly. Our inspectors will be on the lookout for any warning signs such as excessive vibrations or noises and unusual smells coming from the car when it is being driven.\n\n\n\n\nThis test is also intended to check the car\u2019s steering operation. The car\u2019s steering response should be perfect, where the steering should be able to turn to full lock in both directions without making any noises.\n\n\nUndercarriage Inspection\n\n\nLastly, our inspector will inspect the undercarriage of the car. This inspection involves looking out for any signs of fluid leaks, the exhaust system, brakes, tires, transmission and suspension.\n\n\n\n\nOur inspector will evaluate each component during this inspection to ensure that it adheres to our CARSOME Certified standards. Most of the parts in the undercarriage are subjected to constant wear and heavy stress, so this inspection aims to establish that all the parts are in good working condition.\n\n\nChoose CARSOME Certified for Complete Peace of Mind\n\n\nBesides ensuring quality in CARSOME Certified cars, we push our standards further to elevate our promise of peace of mind. This is why every CARSOME Certified car comes with the following:\n\n\n\n\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \nFive-day money-back guarantee:\n If you change your mind, you can return it within five days for a refund.\n\n\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \nOne-year warranty:\n We have the utmost confidence in our cars and will give you an extended warranty of up to one year.\n\n\n\n\nNow that we\u2019ve shared the key pillars of CARSOME\u2019s inspection points, you can rest assured that you will enjoy a quality pre-owned car that you can trust when you buy a CARSOME Certified car.\n\n\nSo, if you\u2019re ready to experience a CARSOME Certified car, we\u2019re always ready to help.

Both motors are propelled by an eight-speed Steptronic transmission.\n\n\nWhat\u2019s New?\n\n\n\n\nThe Le denotes the brand\u2019s longer wheelbase version of the 7 Series. And with the 740Le, is 14cm longer to provide that spacious interior.\n\n\nDrivers of the new 740Le will be able to experience the \u2018Adaptive\u2019 mode which was first introduced in this current G12 generation and is also present in the new G30 BMW 5 Series. The mode is an addition to the standard Eco Pro, Comfort and Sport modes in BMW\u2019s of today. This mode adapts with the transmission that is connected to the navigation system which registers driving behaviour and preconditions the vehicle for the road ahead. Here when Sport mode is activated with the Driving Experience Control switch, the ride height lowers 10mm at high speed.\n\n\nOn top of that, the brand\u2019s all-wheel xDrive system usually found in the SUV range is also the first to be introduced in a sedan model for the Malaysian market.\n\n\nTechnology\n\n\n\n\nFeatured with the 740Le is the brand\u2019s Laserlight technology that has a luminous intensity that is 10 times greater than conventional light sources. The result is an up to 600 metre visual range compared to others like LED units.\n\n\n\n\nBut of course, a luxury vehicle of today isn\u2019t complete without the status data through the Display Key. Through the Display Key, drivers can check the fuel tank levels, current vehicle range, central locking with windows and glass roof, as well as activate the air conditioning and ventilation. With the 740Le, check the electrical charge status as well. And with this, the Display Key can be charged wirelessly in the 740Le.\n\n\nLuxuries\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe magic happens very much inside the cabin of the new 7 Series. Here for the front driver and passenger, a welcome light carpet illuminates in front of the doors, while all occupants will enjoy the Ambient lighting inside the car. Look towards the sky, and the panoramic Sky Lounge glass roof features over 15,000 LED light elements.\n\n\n\n\nFor rear passengers, the removable 7-inch Touch Command control unit located on the centre rear console can access comfort and entertainment functions. But of course it doesn\u2019t stop there, the electrical adjustability of seats are available for all passengers \u2013 with lumbar support for the front, and eight massage programmes for the rear.\n\n\nThe Cost?\n\n\n\n\nA mere RM598,800 on the road without insurance that comes with BMW Malaysia\u2019s 5 Year Unlimited Mileage Warranty, free scheduled service program and BMW tyre warranty programme.\n\n\nHave you checked out the new BMW 5 Series yet? \nClick here\n for our coverage of the new BMW 5 Series!\n\n\nAlso \nclick here\n for A Brief History of the BMW 5 Series in an easy to read Infographic!\n\n", "Tags\nBuying a Car\nDriving\nLifestyle", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

The depreciation rate depends on the car\u2019s daily wear and tear, model, brand, and age of the car. The rate is the steepest in the first year of car ownership and continues to grow the longer you hold on to the car \u2013 typically, the \naverage depreciation rate of a car is around 15 to 35 percent in the first year,\n \nwhile it\n can hike up to 50 percent when it reaches its fifth year and above.\n\n\nFor example: You purchased a Perodua Myvi for RM55,300 five years ago. Today, your car would have lost between 40 and 50 percent of its original value. Therefore, its current value is roughly between RM27,000 and RM33,000. This, of course, could fluctuate depending on your car\u2019s condition as well.\u00a0\n\n\nSo, if you are planning to sell your car, you are advised to sell it within the first five years, as this is when the car depreciates the most. Now, the next question you should ask yourself is how you want to go about selling your car. Do you want to sell it privately or to a used car e-commerce platform such as Carsome?\n\n\nPro tip!\u00a0 Although factors such as the car\u2019s mileage, reputation, reliability, service history, and the overall condition of the car may affect the depreciation rate of the car, it does not mean you cannot increase the market value of it. Maintaining and servicing your car also plays a role in determining its selling price.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nShould You Sell Your Car Privately or to Carsome?\n\n\nSelling it privately is when you handle everything yourself \u2013 from putting up your car listing, determining your car\u2019s price, and so forth. However, this route has more cons than pros because it can be quite a tedious process.\u00a0\n\n\nAlthough you can have full control over the price of the car and negotiations with the buyer, there are disadvantages to this route.\u00a0\n\n\nHere are some cons of selling your car privately.\n\n\n\n\nYou spend more time and effort on your own to find a suitable buyer.\n\n\nYou might not find a buyer that wants to buy at your price and you may end up being lowballed because you are unaware of your car\u2019s actual current value.\n\n\nYou are not protected from a legal standpoint as you would have to take time to learn all about the necessary legal procedures.\u00a0\n\n\nThere is quite a fair bit of paperwork involved \u2013 such as ownership transfers, loan applications, and so forth \u2013 that you will have to handle yourself.\n\n\n\n\nMeanwhile, Carsome eliminates the pain points in the traditional used car selling process by offering effective solutions for both customers and used car dealers.\n\n\nIn fact, Carsome offers 100 percent free inspection and over 2,400 dealers all over Malaysia that promise an experience that is safe, easy, and efficient. So, to show you how efficient Carsome is, here are two ways you can choose to sell your car to Carsome!\n\n\nWith Carsome you can expect:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nA thorough 175-point inspection:\n All cars sold to Carsome go through a 175-point inspection, where skilled inspectors will assess your car to find out its current value;\u00a0\n\n\nGreat selling price\n: Carsome will offer you a price on-the-spot for your car. If you are not happy with the offer, you can opt for live bidding where dealers nationwide will bid for your car. If the bidding is successful, you may get a higher price for your car.\n\n\nFast payment: \nY\nou can get paid in one hour; and\n\n\nWorry-free transactions:\n Reliable and fuss-free process as everything from paperwork to legalities is handled by Carsome.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nRead:\n \nHow are Carsome Cars Reconditioned?\n\n\n\n\nSelling Your Used Car to Carsome: Get a Price On-The-Spot or Opt for Carsome\u2019s Live Bidding\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSo, if you are looking to sell your car, here is how you can do that with Carsome.\u00a0\n\n\nStep one: Make an appointment online\n\n\nHead over to \nCarsome\u2019s website\n and enter your details into the form on the page \u2013 it\u2019s not a lengthy process, we promise! A Carsome representative will contact you within 24 hours to confirm your details and schedule an appointment. We also offer a \nhome inspection\n as well during the Movement Control Order (MCO) period where we will come to you!\n\n\nStep two: Get your car inspected\n\n\nWhen you bring in your car to Carsome\u2019s Inspection Center, make sure to bring along \nrelevant documents such as the Vehicle Ownership Certificate and MyKad, among others\n.\n\u00a0\nThe home inspection is no different \u2013 you should also prepare these documents prior to the appointment.\u00a0\n\n\nYour car will then be inspected for free by our highly-trained inspectors. They are well-equipped to provide a complete car condition report that covers an extensive 175-point inspection process. It only takes 30 minutes. Your car will also be checked for any signs that it has been in a major accident, as well as for floods, frame, or fire damage.\n\n\nStep three: Accept the on-the-spot offer or opt for live bidding\n\n\nOnce the inspection is done, an on-the-spot offer will be given for your car \u2013 this means that our inspector will tell you the price of your car. Alternatively, you can also proceed with Carsome\u2019s live bidding \nwhere our nationwide network of dealers will bid for your car.\u00a0\n\n\nOn-the-spot offer\n\n\nIf you choose to accept our inspector\u2019s offer, you have a maximum of five days to hand in your car, including all the relevant documents to us. You can also sell it immediately as well during your appointment, and we will process everything for you. You will receive the full payment via online transfer within one hour, subject to terms and conditions.\n\n\nCarsome live bidding\n\n\nIf you don\u2019t want to settle on the price offered for your car just yet, you can put it up for live bidding. What happens is that we will set it up for bidding, where car dealers can view and bid for your car. Your car will be live on our bidding site at the earliest available slot where more than 2,400 verified used car dealers in Malaysia will place their bids. \nThe initial bid amount will be discussed and agreed upon between you (the seller) and Carsome prior to the live bidding session.\u00a0 \nAdditionally, you will receive an email or SMS where you can view the live bidding session for your car.\u00a0\n\n\nIf your car receives bids, you will then be given 24 hours to accept or reject the bid-offer. If you accept, you will be given five days to prepare all the necessary documents and hand over the car to us.\n\n\nNow, what happens when your car does not receive any bids? If your car does not receive any bids the first time, you will be offered two options.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOption one: \nIf your car did not receive any bids from the first session, it will be automatically scheduled for the next available bidding session, usually on the same day or the following day. The subsequent starting bid price will be five percent less than the previous starting bid price for each subsequent bid session. Should there be no bids after the second attempt and you still want to proceed with a sale, we recommend contacting your inspector-in-charge. Please note that our offered price may differ depending on the situation*.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImportant note!\n A new offer price may be provided upon your request should there be no bids after the first or second attempt. The new offer price will differ from the original offer price prior to bidding.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOption two: \nIf you are still keen on selling your car, you can\n \naccept our initial offer within three days from the inspection date.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStep four: Let Carsome handle the paperwork and get paid in one hour.\n\n\nOnce you have decided on the final price of your car, all the paperwork and legalities will be handled by us when you hand over your car. The remaining loan settlement will be made and the final payment will be paid directly to your bank account via online transfer.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDifferences between On-The-Spot Offer and Carsome Bidding\n\n\nAt Carsome, our customers\u2019 happiness is our main priority. By offering you an easy and convenient process when you sell your car, we elevate the experience to a whole new level \u2013 this is why we offer these two routes when it comes to making sure you get the best price for your car.\u00a0\n\n\nThis is a quick rundown of the two different methods.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn-the-Spot Offer\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarsome\u2019s Bidding\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe final price offered by the inspector is based on the inspection report.\u00a0\n\n\nThe price offered is based on the bids given by Carsome\u2019s network of used car dealers.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull payment for the car will be received within one hour via online transfer.\u00a0\n\n\nFull payment for the car will be received depending on the bidding period via online transfer.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOnce you accept the offer, \nyou will be given five days to prepare all the necessary documents and hand over the car to us.\n\n\nOnce you accept the bid, \nyou will then be given 24 hours to consider the offer. If you accept, you will be given five days to prepare all the necessary documents and hand over the car to us.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor personal cars, you will not be charged an inspection and transaction fee if you accept the offer. For company-registered cars, certain fees will be charged where applicable.\u00a0\n\n\nWhen you put your car up for bidding, no fee will be charged. However, a handling fee of RM500 will be charged upon successful handover.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThese are Some of the Highest Bidded Cars That Were Sold to Carsome\n\n\n\n\nBased on Carsome\u2019s 2020 Insights, Perodua was the most popular brand sold to Carsome. This local automotive brand also received the highest number of bids ever recorded on Carsome\u2019s live bidding platform. This was followed by Proton, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan.\u00a0\n\n\nBased on car models, Perodua Myvi dominated the top charts with the highest number of bids followed by Proton Saga, Toyota Vios, Honda City, Perodua Viva, Perodua Alza, and Perodua Axia.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSell Your Used Car To Carsome for a Fuss-Free Experience\n\n\nBefore you sell your car, it\u2019s always important to get a proper valuation done to get the market value of your car. Without a proper valuation, there are chances that you might get lowballed by shady dealerships because you are unaware of your car\u2019s actual current value and you might lose out on the best price for your car.\u00a0\n\n\nAt Carsome, a proper and stringent inspection is done on your car to ensure we value your car correctly. Carsome\u2019s inspection comprises of 175-inspection points which are assessed by our certified inspectors to ensure our offer is the best price, based on the condition of your car. To top it off, you can potentially get 20 percent higher than the market price if you put it up for live bidding.\u00a0\n\n\nNot only that, our transactions are transparent and fuss-free. As soon as you hand in your car, we\u2019ll handle all the paperwork and your payment can be done in one hour \u2013 it is that easy! Not only do you get the best deal for your old, beloved car, Carsome takes the experience to a whole new level.\u00a0\n\n\nSo, if you\u2019re ready to let go of your cars \u2013 whether to just \nsell your used car\n off or trade it in for a new one \u2013 we\u2019ve got you covered.

This public holiday is also known as \u201c\nHari Pekerja\n\u201d or \u201c\nHari Buruh\n\u201d in the Malay language. On this day, many Malaysians take the opportunity to relax and have fun with family and friends.

From handling hundreds of customers on a daily basis to arranging financing applications, and inspecting and refurbishing vehicles, these are the stories of unsung heroes of CARSOME that keep us going.\u00a0\n\n\nAt CARSOME, we are grateful for the work of our colleagues at CARSOME Certified Lab (CCL), Inspection Centers, and Automall who play crucial roles in providing high-quality cars and services to our customers. In conjunction with Labor Day, we\u2019ve interviewed some key staff who are the backbone of our outlets. Come see how their work drives CARSOME forward!\n\n\nRead More: \nWhat is It Like Working as a Woman in the Car Industry?\n\n\nA Day at CARSOME Inspection Center\n\n\nBefore the journey starts at CARSOME, all cars begin their life at the Inspection Centers (IC), where our car inspectors stationed here will conduct thorough assessments and inspections on every vehicle, take note of their condition including damages, and go for a quick test drive. Then, they will compile a report with their findings before appraising the vehicle\u2019s value to the customer. Once the inspection is done, and the customer accepts the payout, the car is then passed onto CARSOME Certified Lab for refurbishment.\u00a0\n\n\nAll CARSOME Certified Cars are carefully inspected by our vehicle inspectors to ensure we take in cars of quality standards. They ensure that all cars are carefully inspected before moving on to refurbishment. Without their careful inspection, the cars we take in will lack quality and CARSOME will not be known for what it is today.\n\n\nReaching out to the staff at the Inspection Center (IC) about a message they would like to pass on to other staff members of CARSOME, they had plenty to say. First and foremost, taking care of your mind and body goes a long way. Being stationed on the ground is a grueling and tiring process. Treasure the little time off work that we have and spend it with your friends, family, and loved ones. If you\u2019re single, there is also no harm in spending some alone time by yourself too! Maintaining a healthy body and mind is akin to having a well-oiled machine and it can take you to greater heights with the right work mindset.\u00a0\n\n\nFurthermore, the inspectors also advised keeping your cars clean, routinely serviced, and use only original parts if anything in the car needs to be replaced.\u00a0\n\n\nThe Inner Workings of CARSOME Certified Lab\n\n\nAt CCL, it is the largest, state-of-the-art car refurbishment center operated in Southeast Asia. The center is manned by highly skilled technicians and specialists who are able to work on up to 30 of the most popular brands in the region.\u00a0\n\n\nTo start off, we interviewed some QC (quality control) staff for their job responsibilities here \u2013 A Quality Control staff member, assistant Lead Consultant, and Consultant Leader about their roles here in CCL. They work hard to ensure that each car that comes in for an inspection is carefully inspected and professionally refurbished to maintain quality.\u00a0\n\n\nWhen a car comes in for inspection, the assistant Lead Consultant assigns an inspector to perform a 175-point inspection of the vehicle before writing a report. Then the report is used to get a quotation to estimate how much it will cost to refurbish the car. After the car is refurbished, the Consultant Leader assigns another inspector and someone from Quality Control to inspect the vehicle one more time to ensure it is roadworthy.\n\n\nWithout their trained eye and professional inspection, the quality of the cars we have in our inventory will be severely compromised. It is through their hard work of conducting thorough inspections to make sure every car we sell is a \nvehicle of quality\n to give you peace of mind with every purchase!\u00a0\n\n\nIf there\u2019s one message the CCL staff would like to pass on to all car owners reading this, they urge you to send your vehicle in for its monthly service and keep it clean at all times. This makes their jobs much easier and allows your car to be appraised at a higher price when sold to CARSOME!\n\n\nRead More: \n6 Tips to Prepare for a Recession as a Car Owner\n\n\nOur Friendly Sales Team at Our CARSOME PJ Automall\n\n\nAt Automall, our Sales Consultants guide customers in their journey to choosing the right vehicle that suits their budget and needs.

Here\u2019s what goes through during our 175-point inspection.\n\n\nExterior Inspection\n\n\nOur professional inspector will assess the car\u2019s exterior structure to make sure that nothing has been tampered with and they adhere to our CARSOME Certified standards:\n\n\n\n\nEngine number\n\n\nBody panels and bumpers\n\n\nDoors, hood and boot\n\n\nGlass and outside mirrors\n\n\nExterior lights\n\n\nRims, tires and wheels\n\n\n\n\nDuring this inspection our inspector will focus on the chassis or engine number to verify that it has not been tampered with, so we can ensure that it is not a cloned car and has not been declared a total loss.\n\n\nHere, our inspector will also keep an eye out for signs of repair on the body panels, distinct welding joining marks on the joints, as well as rusts or mold that indicates water damage to make sure that the car is absolutely free of major accidents and flood damage.\u00a0\n\n\nInterior Inspection\n\n\nAfter that, the inspection focuses on the car\u2019s interior to ensure everything works properly.

If there are issues with the air conditioning system, it will be noted by our inspector to be fixed when the car goes through our CARSOME Certified Refurbishment Process.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More:\n \nA Guide to Car Warning Lights and Indicators\n\n\nUndercarriage Inspection\n\n\nUp next, our inspector will inspect the undercarriage of the car. This inspection involves looking out for any signs of fluid leaks and damages on the exhaust system, brakes, tires, transmission and suspension.\n\n\nOur inspector will evaluate each component during this inspection to ensure that it adheres to our CARSOME Certified standards. Most of the parts in the undercarriage are subjected to constant wear and heavy stress, so this inspection aims to establish that all the parts are in good working condition.\n\n\nShort Road Test\n\n\nThe last part of the inspection involves a short road test with our inspector. This is an important part of the inspection to find out if the car\u2019s engine, transmission system, and brakes are working properly.\u00a0\n\n\nOur inspectors will be on the lookout for any warning signs such as excessive vibrations or noises and unusual smells coming from the car when it is being driven.

This has provided consumers an opportunity to look for something different on four wheels. While many who grew up in the 1970s and 80s remember Volvo\u2019s as angular and boxy (from their 200, 700 and 900 series), their growing portfolio of future-driven vehicles today is testament to the brand\u2019s return to the spotlight for design, safety and performance.\n\n\n\n\nIn this article\u2019s focus, we take an in depth look into the current facelifted S60 T6 which was unveiled to the local market last year. What are the differences and how has it improved from the second generation S60 when it was launched here in 2011? We list down the five most interesting points of the new S60.\n\n\nIt Features the T6 Drive-E Engine\n\n\nUncle Ben was right when he told us about great power and great responsibility.\n\n\nWhat is the Drive-E engine? Well to cater to the combination of power and fuel economy, Volvo\u2019s solution to this is the brand\u2019s Drive-E engines that begin with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that becomes a T5 with turbocharging. For the T6, Volvo adds on a supercharger on top of the existing turbocharger for even more performance. For the current line-up of vehicles? The T5 engines produce 240 hp and the T6, a menacing 302 hp. On the company\u2019s latest XC90 SUV, the T6 is uprated to 316 hp.\n\n\nBut how does it feel on the S60? The torque comes in early at 2,100 rpm, but with the amount of power available, it makes the 1,649 kerb weight S60 T6 achieve a 5.9-second century sprint time. Let\u2019s just say that you don\u2019t need your foot down at the accelerator to feel the full power of the car.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIt\u2019s Sporty Minimalist\n\n\nHere the themes of the digital instrument display of Elegance, Performance and Eco.\n\n\nHere\u2019s an interesting thing you won\u2019t find on most cars. The digital instrument display panel has themes of Elegance, Performance and Eco that changes the look and feel of the digital gauge and indicators. While all themes feature a vertical tachometre gauge, Elegance and Performance comes paired with a temperature gauge, Eco features an Eco Guide of an instantaneous and average value of fuel economy, and a Power Guide that provides an indication of available and utilised engine power with the Performance theme.\n\n\n\n\nMost interesting of these is the intelligent camera system called Road Sign Information that detects the road speed signs and displays it through the central speedometer until the next speed limit appears. This allows the driver to have a glance at the current speed limit at any time.\n\n\nIt\u2019s Loaded with Technology\n\n\nThe radar system that has pedestrian and cyclist detection with full auto brake.\n\n\nSo Volvo\u2019s today are packed with sensors and features that aim to prevent or actively intervene should a collision be imminent. But more than that, the brand have also included interesting tech that assist the driver. Most prominently is the Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Aid and Park Assist. The first two uses the radar and camera system to detect the distance between the vehicle ahead, as well as to keep the car within the road lines. The latter most uses the sensors on the exterior to provide semi-autonomous parking within a spot.\n\n\nIt\u2019s Safe like a Volvo\n\n\n\n\nThere is a difference between active and passive safety systems, and although the S60 features a host of both, the current facelifted S60\u2019s systems aren\u2019t as audible and visual as it was in the pre-facelifted model. But of course some of the warnings can be switched off if the driver finds it distracting.\n\n\nIf you\u2019ve been living under a bunker for years, Volvo is known for its innovative safety systems, including the invention of the three-point safety belt, side impact and whiplash protection, blind spot information, city safety, and pedestrian detection with full auto brake amongst others.\n\n\nIt\u2019s the Best Value Sedan for Features and Performance\n\n\nHere the company\u2019s outgoing floating centre still features a numberpad for connectivity with mobile phones and the preset buttons for Park Assist, Auto Start Stop and Lane Keeping Aid amongst others.\n\n\nAt RM238,888 without insurance, the S60 T6 trumps almost everything else in the current market segment for a sedan with 306 hp. Not only is it fast, its feature packed safety systems and unique styling sets it apart from other continental marques. But is it without flaws? Of course not.

From handling the day-to-day affairs of the company to executing corporate strategy, Jiun Ee was focused on cash flow and profitability alongside co-founder and Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Eric Cheng.\n\n\nTeoh Jiun Ee, Carsome Co-founder and Director of Carsome Academy\n\n\nThese days, Jiun Ee, or JT as he\u2019s better known within the industry, is also spending his time as Carsome Academy Director. Carsome Academy is a human capital development center and technical institute, where graduates can attain accredited technical certifications that are recognized both internally and externally from Carsome.\n\n\nFrom Carsome\u2019s early days to becoming Malaysia\u2019s first unicorn, let\u2019s explore Jiun Ee\u2019s journey from taking a seed of an idea to establishing Carsome and its Academy.\n\n\nThe Beginning of a Great Idea\n\n\nPrior to starting Carsome, Jiun Ee worked in media and advertising. In fact, that was where he got to know Eric. From there, the ambitious duo started to talk about business ideas.\n\n\n\u201cEric is five years older than me, but at the time he was way more successful. I was driving a Myvi, while he was already driving a Mercedes. I wanted to be like him. So that\u2019s where our partnership started.\n\n\n\u201cSince we were in advertising, we were engaged with many different industries. Back then, we thought about everything from tourism to technology,\u201d said Jiun Ee.\n\n\nThe seed of the idea that would become Carsome was planted when Jiun Ee\u2019s sister faced problems buying a new car.\n\n\n\u201cWe had to go to multiple dealerships, talk to different people and further negotiate with them all to find the best price for a car. That was the biggest pain point for us, and we realized that this was a space that we could start in and disrupt the market.\n\n\n\u201cI think of Eric as one of my mentors as my story with Carsome began with him. The great thing about our partnership is that we have the same vision from the beginning. We obviously have had our highs and lows, but that is what being business partners is all about,\u201d he said.\n\n\nDriving Onwards & Upwards into the Used Car Industry\u00a0\n\n\nAs can be expected from any startup, Carsome\u2019s beginnings were not easy. At first, Carsome attempted to solve the problem of price comparison by becoming a middleman. \u201cWe wanted to help the customer and the salespeople at the same time. Our approach was to not only help customers get the best price, but also to help salespeople drive traffic to their doors,\u201d said Jiun Ee.\n\n\nBut that plan was scuppered when a major car brand told their dealers not to work with Carsome. \u201cWe were considered a brokerage by the brand, and their internal rules discouraged brokering. That was a big hit for us as most of the traffic coming into our website at the time were for that brand\u2019s sports utility vehicle (SUV). We had to rethink our whole business model,\u201d he said.\n\n\nEric and Jiun Ee soon learned that they could pivot easily to the used car market. \u201cOne of our observations was that people trading in a used car for a new car also faced the same issues \u2013 which was how to get the best price for the used car. And this market had even less rules than the new car market. One inspector might rank a car as Grade A, while another could rank the exact same car as Grade B. Essentially, there are no rules.\n\n\n\u201cIt also surprised me that inspections took only 30 minutes. We could earn more in this half hour compared to the months of waiting lists for new cars. So we decided to move our resources to the \u2018sell\u2019 part.\n\n\n\n\n\u201cWhen we expanded to Indonesia and Thailand, we took one and a half years to study the market. We also noticed that the \u2018selling\u2019 side is as critical in these markets. With a few tweaks, we duplicated the model regionally and that\u2019s where we are now. Using that idea, we built a full-fledged ecosystem for the used car market,\u201d he explained.\n\n\nFrom there, Carsome expanded by opening more inspection centers, hiring more inspectors and standardizing their inspection report.\n\n\n\u201cWe also found that as the team grew, we needed to open up more positions, like supervisors and operation specialists. That\u2019s how we started to learn that we needed to hire the right people to do the right jobs,\u201d he said.\n\n\nThe People Factor: Carsome Academy\u2019s Inception\n\n\nThough its business is primarily online, Carsome was not spared from the lockdown. Jiun Ee explained, \u201cWe wanted to scale but we could not move because of the lockdown.\u201d\n\n\nHence, Eric and Jiun Ee reviewed the business and found that there was still a gap in terms of people. \u201cWe were always concentrating on scaling the business, and we forgot about our basics, which is people,\u201d he explained.\n\n\n\u201cWhen we saw the business, we realized that we needed to train our people, especially the inspectors. Because when you look at it, there\u2019s actually no accreditation for motor vehicle inspectors. There\u2019s no certified program in the market for this as well. Seeing how important the inspectors are for our business, that\u2019s where the idea of Carsome Academy came about.\n\n\n\u201cNo other institution or company has this kind of SKM-level program. So we took this opportunity to build Carsome Academy \u2013 the course structure, the accreditation, even the center in Kelana Jaya from scratch. It was a challenge setting it up in the middle of a pandemic but we came through.\n\n\n\u201c2020 has been a blessing in disguise for us as we could take our time to set up the Academy properly. Although it has been a slow process at times, we are the first and so far the only company to offer such a program,\u201d he said.\n\n\nMore than Just an Academy\n\n\nCarsome Academy is more than just a stepping stone to becoming a skilled technician. It also has a social impact element as well.\n\n\n\u201cYoung Malaysians with only a PT3 qualification can join us for one year of training. The first three months are classroom theory, and the next nine months will be on-the-job training. They will be sent to our retail centers to learn with their mentors. After that year, they can earn an SKM Level 3 certification in motor vehicle inspection.\n\n\nCarsome Academy students undergoing training\n\n\n\u201cWhat\u2019s special is that we can place graduates immediately in Carsome, and they can draw a respectable salary. What\u2019s more, if they work with us for two years, once the third year starts we will reimburse the tuition fees back to them. In effect, it is like a free education, where all you need is commitment,\u201d said Jiun Ee.\n\n\nJiun Ee also explains that the Academy also helps the Carsome brand indirectly. \u201cWith Carsome Academy, we can build the gold standard in automotive practice. We are able to shout it out loud to the Southeast Asian market that our standard is the exact standard of service you get. By being the first mover in this field, it actually benefits the Carsome brand immensely,\u201d he explained.\n\n\nBut more than anything, Carsome Academy has been Jiun Ee\u2019s passion project. \u201cMy dream is actually to open a football academy, because I\u2019m crazy about football,\u201d laughed Jiun Ee. \u201cCarsome Academy is the next best thing. Right now, we probably can have 100 students per year. I\u2019m not satisfied with that. I want to do more \u2013 at least 500 students. Human development is the way forward, and I\u2019m proud to be championing that.\u201d\n\n", "Devan S\nDevan believes written content is here to stay despite our depleting attention span and the rise of short videos.

Plus, the entire process can be daunting as well \u2013 it is hard to know where to start, especially if it is your first time and with the amount of paperwork, as well as the back and forths.\n\n\nThat\u2019s why at Carsome, giving you a hassle-free journey when you buy a Carsome Certified car is among our highest priorities. \n\n\n\n\nThis rings especially true with our 175-point inspection that makes sure every car sold to us is free from major accident, frame, flood, or fire damage.\n\n\nSo, here\u2019s how we give you Carsome Certified cars. \n\n\nCarsome\u2019s 175-Point Inspection\n\n\nAll Carsome Certified cars must pass our 175-point inspection \u2013 the gold standard when it comes to pre-owned cars. The inspection involves a few guidelines that guarantee all cars within our inventory are free from major accidents, as well as frame, fire, and flood damage. In fact, Carsome Certified cars are like one in a hundred, as it is carefully selected with our stringent 175-point inspection.\u00a0\n\n\nFollowing our inspection, the car will then arrive at our Carsome Certified Lab, where it goes through our Carsome Certified Refurbishment Process.\n\n\nSo, here is what we inspect to ensure we give you quality pore-owned cars.\n\n\nMajor Inspection\n\n\nOur professional inspector will assess the main components of the car\u2019s structure \u2013 the chassis, the car\u2019s pillars, the frame, the roof panel, among others.\n\n\nWe will look for distinct signs of repair or replacement on any welding joining marks for the components mentioned as it notes that the car has been in a major accident.\n\n\nNo Major Accident\n\n\nOn top of that, we will also look at the seatbelts and airbags as well to see if they are working well or have been replaced. These features are designed to work effectively only once and they are usually replaced after an accident happens.\n\n\nThis inspection ensures that the car has not been involved in any major accidents since these key components are involved when repairing a car that has been damaged severely.\n\n\nNo Fire Damage\n\n\nAlthough fire damage sounds like a major issue that you will be able to recognize at a glance, this is not usually the case, especially if it has been repaired and covered up.\n\n\nThis is why we inspect all the rubber, plastic, and wiring components in the engine room, cockpit area, and cargo bay for distinct burn marks or signs of melting. These things can lead to or can be the result of a car fire.\n\n\nNo Flood Damage\n\n\nFlood damage is particularly harmful to cars. Not only does it lead to mold and rust, but it also damages the electrical system, engine, and transmission which will render the car dangerous for driving.\n\n\nSigns of flood damage are difficult to spot, but our inspectors are trained to examine all nooks and crannies of the car including the door panels, trims, steering couplings, and air filters to ensure that there are no damp spots or rust marks.\n\n\nRead:\n \nDangers of Buying a Flood Affected Car\n\n\nExterior Inspection\n\n\n\n\nBesides looking at the usual wear and tear of the car, the exterior inspection is done to visually identify if the car has had any major damage.\n\n\nThe main points of interest when conducting exterior inspection include bolts and nuts, base color, sealant, bumpers, lights, as well as rims, and wheels. Our inspectors are trained to ensure that these components adhere to our Carsome Certified standards.\n\n\nAny scratches or dings on the body will be included in the inspection report along with a clear photo so customers are informed about the condition of the car they\u2019re buying. This is also done so that these flaws can be repaired when the car goes through refurbishing later.\u00a0\n\n\nRead:\n \nCar Maintenance: How to Protect Your Car from the Sun\n\n\nInterior Inspection\n\n\nThe next part of our 175-point inspection deals with the interior of the car. Our inspector will conduct a thorough inspection on all the interior components and amenities of the car including all the buttons, knobs, gauges, locks, as well as the audio system and the air conditioning system.\n\n\nIn order to adhere to our Carsome Certified standards, these components should be in proper working order and in good condition. This includes making sure the air conditioning blows cold air, the power window button works, the audio system functions properly, etc.\n\n\nShould there be any issues with the interior components such as the air conditioning, it will be included in the inspection report to be repaired when the car goes through refurbishing.\n\n\nEngine Inspection\n\n\n\n\nThis is a vital part of our 175-point inspection process. The engine is a crucial component and our skilled inspectors take extra care in making sure that it works properly.\n\n\nDuring engine inspection, our skilled inspectors will ensure they verify the engine number first as it provides important information about the car itself \u2013 what kind of engine it is, how to maintain it, to check the legitimacy of the car, etc.\n\n\nAfter it has been verified, our inspectors will proceed to check the oil and fluid levels in the engine to identify if there are any leaks in the engine. Engine leaks can accelerate the wear and tear of the engine which will lead to major damage.\n\n\nIn order to provide our customers with quality pre-owned cars, the engine oil, and the oil filter are replaced, if required, after the inspection.\n\n\nRead: \n8 Common Causes of Car Accidents in Malaysia\n\n\nUnderbody Inspection\n\n\n\n\nAnother essential part of our 175-point inspection is the underbody inspection. During this inspection, our instructors will be looking at the undercarriage of the car to look for signs of rust, leaks, or recent repairs.\n\n\nThe focus of this inspection would be components such as the transmission system, the suspension system, the exhaust system, the brakes, among others. They should be in proper working condition to adhere to our Carsome Certified standards.\n\n\nRoad Test Inspection\n\n\nOur inspection also involves a road test conducted by our inspectors. The car will be taken for a short drive to identify any problems with its important parts such as the engine, steering system, brakes, suspension, transmission, gearbox, etc.\n\n\nDuring the test, our inspectors ensure that the mechanisms mentioned above are in smooth working condition while also keeping an eye out for any abnormal noises, vibrations, or faulty mechanical issues that are affecting the car while it moves.\n\n\nAny issues found during the inspection will be included in the inspection report and they will be raised and fixed during refurbishing so you will end up with a safe and comfortable car that\u2019s fun to drive with.\n\n\nA Hassle-Free Buying Experience\n\n\nCarsome makes the buying process as transparent, seamless, and convenient as possible.\n\n\nWhen buying a car through Carsome, there are no hidden fees.

The new Jazz now features Push Start Button with Smart Entry and a minimum of 15-inch alloy wheels as standard across all variants. While upgrades are mostly aesthetic with additional features for all variants, Honda\u2019s new sporty Hybrid Jazz should be on everyone\u2019s shopping list for a new hatchback, here\u2019s why.\n\n\nFirst and Only Debut Outside of Japan\n\n\nCredit: Honda\n\n\nMalaysia has become the first and only country outside of Japan to get the third generation Jazz Hybrid. For Honda in Malaysia, Hybrid vehicles isn\u2019t new to the brand. In fact, it has been 10 years since the brand introduced the Civic Hybrid to the Malaysian market, and since then, have seen other models that include the Insight, CR-Z and the previous generation Jazz Hybrid that was locally assembled until the end of its generation cycle in 2014.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIt Features A New Sport Hybrid i-DCD System\n\n\nCredit: Honda\n\n\nThe i-DCD stands for Intelligent Dual-Clutch Drive Hybrid system, and unlike its predecessor, is one that is touted to provide excellent acceleration for a sportier driving experience. The new Hybrid System is powered by a lithium-ion battery that has 1.5 times more electricity storage than before, yet is more compact in size. What separates the Jazz Hybrid with the standard Jazz is that although both combustion engine\u2019s are 1.5-litres, the one in the Hybrid is a DOHC i-VTEC unit. When electric motor and combustion engine comes together, the system delivers up to 135 horsepower, equivalent to a 1.8-litre engine.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCredit: Honda\n\n\nUnlike the previous generation IMA hybrid system, the new Jazz Hybrid allows for more independent functioning of the electric motor which allows the car to run more on EV mode.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIt Was Tested In Malaysia for Two Years\n\n\nCredit: Honda\n\n\nTo ensure that the Jazz Hybrid meets the standards for local driving styles and conditions, the Malaysian Honda R&D facility tested the Jazz Hybrid for 2 years over 7,000km on Malaysian roads across various road conditions.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIt Comes With A Compact 7-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission\n\n\nHere the electric motor is so small that it fits inside the transmission case. \nCredit: Honda\n\n\nDual clutch transmissions basically automate gear changes using two clutches while retaining the structure, low power loss and strong acceleration of a conventional manual transmission. The immediacy of the gear changes are thanks to the use of two clutches that are paired with odd and even-numbered gears. Honda has managed to reduce the size of the DCT unit by designing the first gear as a planetary gear, decreasing its size in relation to the constant mesh gears.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWell-equipped and Safe\n\n\nSeen here is the new Jazz interior. The Hybrid variant features a different meter cluster and shifter.\nCredit: Honda\n\n\n\n\nThe new Jazz Hybrid will be available in one variant that shares the same specifications as the E grade petrol Jazz but with Cruise Control included. Here the new Jazz has a 5-star Asean NCAP safety rating, with brake assist and ABS as standard, while vehicle stability assist, emergency stop signal and hill start assist made available across E, V and Hybrid variants.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHonda\n\n\nJazz 1.5L\n\n\nJazz Hybrid\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPower\n\n\n118 hp\n\n\n108 hp (combustion engine)\n\n30 hp (electric motor)\n\n135 hp (combined)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTorque\n\n\n145Nm at 4,600 rpm\n\n\n134Nm at 5,000 rpm (combustion engine)\n\n160Nm at 0 to 1,313 rpm (electric motor)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEngine Capacity\n\n\n1.5-litre 4-cyl SOHC i-VTEC\n\n\n1.5-litre 4-cyl DOHC i-VTEC\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTransmission\n\n\nContinuous Variable Transmission (CVT)\n\n\n7-Speed Dual-Clutch\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice\n\n\nRM 74,800 (S), RM 81,000 (E),\n\nRM 88,400 (V)\n\n\nRM 87,500\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWarranty for both the new Jazz and Jazz Hybrid is 5 years with unlimited mileage at 10,000km service intervals, while the warranty on the Lithium-ion battery on the Jazz Hybrid will be 8 years.

You\u2019ve decided that enough is enough with that thing you call driving over the past year. Road statistics state that with every following year, traffic related accidents and deaths just keep rising. What can you do to be a better driver? Apart from being more responsible, you could follow these five easy steps to instantly become a better driver.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nKnow The Speed Limit\n\n\nCredit: Inautonews\n\n\nWe know it\u2019s difficult to follow the speed limit at times when there\u2019s hardly any traffic on roads. Hey, it\u2019s even difficult for us sometimes. But knowing the limit, being responsible and owning up to your mistakes is being the bigger person in the end. Blasting down the motorway at 160 km/h when the limit is 80 km/h is lunacy even in light traffic. Oh and if you\u2019ve happened to hit someone, own up to it instead of committing a hit and run crime. If convicted, you\u2019re looking at imprisonment of up to one to five years, and from RM4,000 to RM15,000 fine depending on the section as depicted in the Malaysian Road and Transport Act.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nLet\u2019s be honest. Who doesn\u2019t want to get to our destinations in the shortest time possible? The fact is, we all do. The harsh truth to this is that speeding only increases the possibility of an accident or getting a speeding ticket. If you\u2019re speeding while accommodating extra passengers and other cars on the road, it transfers unnecessary risk and danger to them as well.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCut Off Distractions\n\n\nKeep your eyes on the road, my friend.\n\n\nTexting while driving is one of the worst driving behaviours that you can have. \u201cYou are always only one text away from an accident\u201d, as they say. In fact, during an episode of \nDiscovery Channel\u2019s Mythbusters\n, they concluded that talking on your mobile phone is more dangerous than driving intoxicated. Your cell phone is not the only distraction though, as fidgeting with your car\u2019s multimedia unit, trying to catch Pokemon\u2019s on the go, and even drinking coffee while on the move is dangerous. The dangers of texting is gaining a lot of attention, but distracted driving remains an underlying issue in general.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nOne-handed driving shall be avoided at all costs, it is extremely dangerous behaviour and never recommended.\n\n\nOther things which might not seem like a distraction, also do contribute to accidents. This includes searching for a coin or a card stuck between the corners of the car seat and fiddling with the mirrors while driving (which should have been done before beginning your journey). Always remember to use your turn signals, have proper driving etiquette and be a defensive driver instead of an offensive one.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAdjust your Mirrors to Cover Blind Spots\n\n\nOne of the worst scenarios on the road is getting into an accident due to the blind spots when driving. How do we curb this issue? According to \nCar and Driver\n, although various carmakers have come up with blind-spot detection systems (BLIS) for their cars\u2019 side mirrors (\nCar and Driver\n illustrates the perfect car mirror setup in an infographic below that could prevent lane change mishaps). Lane change mishaps usually happen when a driver isn\u2019t paying full attention to oncoming traffic from the left and the right before switching lanes.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCredit: Car and Driver\n\n\nThe idea was first published in 1995 by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), who published an article on how mirrors are ought to be adjusted in preventing blind spots. SAE suggested that adjusting the side mirrors far enough outwards that the viewing angle just overlaps the vision in the cabin\u2019s rear view mirror could prevent these blind-spot mishaps.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSubjective\u00a0tip: If you can see your car in the side mirrors, it points out the need to adjust it accordingly.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nKeep Your Hands on the Wheel at All Times\n\n\nThose who took driving lessons years ago would have been taught by their driving instructors to keep their hands at the 10 and 2 positions on the steering wheel. But these guidelines have changed to keep up with modern vehicles with airbags. The reason for the new recommended 9 and 3 positions is due to the fact that during an accident, it is less likely that the airbag deploying with your hands on the wheel at 9 and 3 will cause it to slam it against your head. Also it\u2019s a proper driving wheel position taught during \ndriver training programmes\n.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nNot only the 9 and 3 hand positions are more ergonomic to hold, it is less straining on the arms should you be driving for long hours at the 10 and 2 position. Remember that power is nothing without control.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nParking with Accuracy and Precision\n\n\nIt helps to know a few tricks when doing our regular parallel, reverse and forward parking. For some Parallel parking is one of the hardest skills to master, without a doubt.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: T W White & Sons\n\n\nThe infographic above by TW White & Sons show the basics for parallel, reverse and forward parking.\n\n\nSo there you have it. Five ways that you could become a better driver instantly by changing your habits and knowing what to do.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThese are 7 simple ways to improve your visibility on the road!

Most new cars come with a five-year warranty with varying mileage coverages.\u00a0\n\n\nCar insurance, on the other hand, covers the cost of damage to your car or injury if you\u2019re involved in a road accident, or if your car is affected by other causes such as theft, fire, or other natural disasters.\u00a0\n\n\nWhile all cars are legally required to have insurance coverage before being allowed on the road, a car warranty is usually provided to new cars in case of manufacturing defects. Therefore, most used cars don\u2019t come with warranties unless their principal warranty is still intact. With a CARSOME Certified car, you can enjoy warranty coverage even on a used car.\n\n\n\n\nWhat Is Included in the CARSOME Extended Warranty Program?\n\n\nUnlike other extended car warranties in Malaysia, the CARSOME Extended Warranty Program (EWP) comes at no extra cost and is available on all\n \nCARSOME Certified\n cars. The warranty program is provided by Allianz and comprises two plans \u2013 the Gold plan which is automatically applied to all our cars and the Platinum plan which can be purchased as an optional upgrade. \nAlso worth noting, our used car extended warranty plans cover the whole of Malaysia\n.\n\n\nThese warranty plans have varying coverages but both will cover your car for one year or 20,000 kilometers (whichever comes first). Both of these plans have a RM50,000 maximum coverage per policy and a RM10,000 maximum limit per claim.\n\n\nRead More:\n Want to Buy Recon Cars in Malaysia?

It takes 30 minutes or less for our professional and certified inspectors to conduct a thorough 175-point inspection before we can evaluate the price of your car. We put together five important points that are key to assess the condition of your vehicle.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe road test inspection \u2013 steering operation\n\n\n\n\nOne of the tests is to check the vehicle\u2019s steering operation.\n \nExcessive free play steering happens when the steering wheel can be turned by an inch or over without any movement in the wheels. Without a steering that is precise, the driver won\u2019t be able to control the car accurately during an emergency. By default, there should only be a quarter of an inch of free play in a car\u2019s steering response.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe undercarriage inspection \u2013 engine mounts\n\n\n\n\nThe engine mount is the part that holds the engine to the chassis of the vehicle. Other than securing the engine in place, its purpose is to help reduce engine vibrations and provide a smoother drive. Most of the time, engine mounts wear or break due to age and need to be replaced. A sign of engine mounts that need replacing is when there\u2019s excess noise and vibration that can affect other components under the hood.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe exterior inspection \u2013 cut & joint vehicle\n\n\n\n\nOne of the most important inspection points is to check the integrity of a vehicle\u2019s chassis. The cut and joint exterior inspection looks at whether the vehicle has been in an accident and repaired at key areas. This is done to check if the Road and Transport Department of Malaysia (JPJ) has approved the repairs.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe exterior inspection \u2013 tampering of chassis or engine number\n\n\n\n\nA vehicle that has been in a major accident will also be inspected for its chassis or engine number. This is to ensure that the repaired vehicle hasn\u2019t been cloned or revived from being a total loss. This verification is to confirm that the repaired vehicle has been approved by the authorities and possess serial numbers that tally with the vehicle\u2019s registration card.\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe interior inspection \u2013 power window controls\n\n\n\n\nPower window failures are a common occurrence in almost every aged vehicle. Whether it is a non-functioning switch, jammed motor or malfunction, a fix and replacement of these parts is considered an additional cost to the next owner. Considering there are four windows in your car, it is definitely something to take note of before sending in your car for inspection.\n\n\nNow that we\u2019ve shared a few Carsome inspection points, taking better care of your car will certainly pay off.

Most car components work on friction, flammable liquid, and complicated electric wiring. Because of this, one of the most common threats in a car is fire.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTable of Contents\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7 Causes of Car Fires in Malaysia\n\n\nWhat Should You Do If Your Car\u00a0 Catches Fire?\n\n\nHow to Avoid Your Car from Catching Fire?\n\n\nHow to Use a Fire Extinguisher\n\n\nYour Life Matters Most in Case of a Fire\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccording to\u00a0 \n2018 statistics from the Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia\n on motor vehicles that caught on fire, there were a total of 2,834 cases involving all types of transportation vehicles with 1,724 involving burning cars. There are many reasons for a car fire, the main cause would be negligence in complying with the maintenance and safety aspects of a car.\n\n\n\n\n7 Causes of Car Fires in Malaysia\n\n\n\u00a0The maintenance and safety aspects of a car are unique to your car model and make.\u00a0 If you understand the correct specifications, it can prevent and reduce the risk of your catching on fire. Here are some other factors that might lead to a car catching on fire.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n1. Petrol Leaks\n\n\nPetrol leaks are one of the most common causes of car fires in Malaysia. Fuels such as petrol or diesel are vital materials that are highly flammable. Fires can occur if there is a fuel leak, coupled with the presence of oxygen and small sparks from the car\u2019s wiring system that are loose or damaged. Fuel-induced fires are usually caused by the following situations:\n\n\n\n\nDamaged and unmaintained fuel lines.\n\n\nFuel injectors that are leaking or damaged.\n\n\n\n\n2. Electrical System Failure\n\n\nElectrical system failures are also a common cause of car fires. Car batteries, for example, serve to supply electrical power to starter motors and ignition systems. Despite its small size, a 12-volt car battery is capable of producing hydrogen gas during charging and has the potential to cause an explosion. In other words, batteries and starter cables are able to carry enough electricity to ignite and cause a fire.\n\n\nApart from that, a broken light bulb can also cause a fire because the filaments of the headlights can heat up and reach up to 1,400-degree Celsius. If not repaired immediately, it could potentially cause a short circuit and fire.\n\n\n3. Engine Overheating\n\n\nEngine overheating is a normal occurrence that happens among older cars, especially if the owner neglects its maintenance. Overheating usually occurs due to failure or damage to the radiator, fan relays, radiator leaks, or damage to the water pump. Engine overheating coupled with flammable liquids found in the engine such as black oil, automatic transmission oil, hydraulic brake fluid, and coolant is a dangerous formula that can cause a fire.\n\n\nThe exhaust manifold (the passage where the exhaust gas comes out from the combustion chamber into the exhaust piping system) on a hot engine can reach up to 500-degree Celsius. This temperature is high enough to ignite a fire in the event of a leak in any part of the engine.\n\n\n4. Car Accessories\n\n\nInstallation of car accessories such as car dash cams that do not follow the correct installation guidelines can cause fires while on the road. Installation that is not done properly according to the camera specifications can cause a short circuit and in certain situations, can lead to a costly repair. So make sure your car accessories are installed by an experienced technician as amateur repairs and installations can pose unwanted hazards that can be damaging to you.\n\n\nAlso Read\n: \nMake Sure to Have These Items in Your Car Emergency Kit\n\n\n5. Dangerous Goods\n\n\nMost car owners would not think twice about items that are stored in their cars. Did you know that some of these items can be dangerous and lead to your car catching on fire? Here are some flammable items you are advised to not store in your car:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAerosol Cans\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTypically, cans of hair sprays, deodorants, spray paints, and other similar items would feature storage temperature recommendations on the sides of the cans. This is because such cans are extremely sensitive to any temperature changes. If the aerosol can is stored at a high-temperature location (hot or cold weather) for too long, the contents in it can expand and potentially cause an explosion that could be the cause of a fire. If your car is parked in an open area, avoid leaving these items in the car.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLighter\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDespite their small size, lighters can cause fires if left exposed to high temperatures in a car. Temperatures in cars parked in open areas can reach up to 60-degree Celsius or more and this heat can indirectly cause these small plastic tubes to expand, as well as explode, potentially posing a fire risk.\n\n\nAlthough the probability for a lighter to cause a fire is slim, it is always best to be mindful. Avoid storing flammable items or liquids in the car especially during hot weather.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElectronic Goods\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSmartphones are one of the necessities for many nowadays. Along with the development of technology, the use of electronic goods such as power banks is also becoming more widespread as they are used to supply additional power to smartphones especially during emergencies. However, if these power banks are not stored properly, they can cause danger and injury \u2013 if it is left in the car, there are chances of it overheating and exploding.\n\n\nAvoid leaving a power bank or any other electronic gadgets including mobile phones, tablets, cameras, electronic cigarettes (vape), or any items containing batteries in the car as high temperatures can pose a risk of fire.\n\n\n6. Smoking While Driving\n\n\nThe act of smoking while driving is a common sight in Malaysia. However, smoking in a car may cause a fire. You can probably imagine the scenario of a truck driver throwing cigarette butts out through a window but there is a possibility that cigarette butts thrown out of the window enter another vehicle which may collide with flammable objects and cause a\u00a0 fire. Therefore, avoid driving while smoking especially if you carry flammable items with you.\n\n\n7. Accidents\n\n\nMost vehicles today are equipped with a crush zone that protects important vehicle interiors such as fuel tanks, car engines, batteries, and other risky components in the event of an accident.\u00a0 However, depending on the impact of the collision and the situation during the accident, the crush zone also has the potential to suffer damage. Car components such as batteries and alternators are damaged due to an accident. For example, it may emit sparks and hit certain parts that contain flammable liquids that might have leaked and cause other car components to burn.\n\n\n\n\nWhat Should You Do If Your Car\u00a0 Catches Fire?\n\n\nCar fires can spread quickly especially if the car is moving because of the wind that supplies oxygen for faster combustion.\u00a0 \nIf this unfortunately happens to you while on the road,\u00a0 take the following safety measures:\n\n\n\n\nSlow down and stop your car on the road shoulder.\n\n\nTurn off the car engine and pull the handbrake before you get out of your car \u2013 the engine combustion system would still be running if the engine is not turned off, thus causing the fire to spread rapidly.\n\n\nRemove the seat belt. If the seat belt cannot be removed, cut the seat belt using a multifunctional hammer.\n\n\nExit the car immediately or unlock car doors or windows for the rescue team or others to help you out.\n\n\nIf your car door or window cannot be opened, kick or break the windshield to get out of the car.\n\n\nCover your mouth and nose with a lid or cloth (if any) to prevent you from inhaling harmful fumes.\n\n\nOnce you\u2019ve successfully exited, make sure everyone is at least 30 meters from the burning car.\n\n\nNever go back to the car to get personal items.\n\n\nCall the emergency line (999) for further assistance.\n\n\nThe act of trying to control or extinguish the fire yourself can be difficult especially if you are unable to locate the source of the fire. So, avoid trying to fan out the flames for your safety.\n\n\nHowever, if you can locate the source of the fire and have a fire extinguisher in your car, stand at a safe distance to use the fire extinguisher.\n\n\nDo not open the bonnet or boot if the source of the fire is there. The presence of additional oxygen can cause the fire to become more intense.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Avoid Your Car from Catching Fire?\n\n\nHere is the roundup of safety tips and guidelines that can prevent your car from catching fire:\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0Turn off the engine while refueling.\n\n\nAvoid smoking while carrying flammable items in the car.\n\n\nDo not leave flammable items or electrical items, such as power banks and electronic cigarettes, in the car especially if the car is parked in the open.\n\n\nAvoid installing additional car accessories that do not follow permitted specifications.\n\n\nPerform car maintenance according to schedule to replace worn and damaged car components.\n\n\nThe public, especially car owners, are also advised to keep fire extinguishers in their vehicles as a precautionary measure to prevent such fire incidents from happening.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Use a Fire Extinguisher\n\n\nThe best way to use a fire extinguisher is as follows:\n\n\n\n\nThe fire extinguisher barrel must be used in an upright position.\n\n\nMake sure you stand at least 1.5 meters from the source of the fire and not against the wind direction.\n\n\nAvoid standing too close \u2013 the high air pressure in the barrel allows spraying of this powder to be done safely from a distance of 1.5 meters.\n\n\nRemove the pin on the handle.\n\n\nAim the nozzle towards the fire.\n\n\nPress the lever at the top.\n\n\nSwipe the nozzle left and right repeatedly until the flame is extinguished.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour Life Matters Most in Case of a Fire\n\n\nThere are many reasons why a car catches fire but in the end, your safety and the safety of those in the car matters the most. If you are not unsure of what to do in the event of a fire, make sure to leave your car as fast as possible. Do not try to reach for any belongings as that might slow you down. Remember that apart from your life, everything else is replaceable.\n\n\nAlso Read\n: \nHow to Protect Your Car From The Sun\n\n\nFor any other used car services and news, do check Carsome out!

However, there are various factors to consider and it can be overwhelming due to the different specifications each brand holds.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBut one of the main decisions you will have to make is whether you should invest in a Completely Built Up (CBU) or Completely Knocked Down (CKD) car. Currently, under the PENJANA initiative, new CKD cars are fully exempted from the sales tax, while CBU cars get 50 percent off the sales tax.\u00a0\n\n\nNevertheless, you should not make a commitment solely based on the percentage of the sales exemption. Instead, it is best to fully understand the difference between a CBU and CKD unit before making your final decision.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat is a CBU Car?\n\n\nCBU cars are made in foreign countries and are imported in Malaysia as fully operating vehicles. Such imported cars usually come with heavy excise duties, which can range between 60 and 105 percent that essentially hike up the final price of the car.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nASEAN AFTA and ATIGA\n\n\nNevertheless, thanks to a pact called the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) and the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA) between ASEAN countries, not all CBU cars are sold with a high price point.\u00a0\n\n\nWith this pact, cars made in ASEAN countries do not come with import duties. For example, certain Honda and Toyota cars that are made in Thailand are not subject to the same import duties as the cars that are made in Germany.\n\n\nMost Favoured Nation (MFN)\n\n\nFor cars that are imported from the WTO Member Countries (like Austria, Germany, New Zealand, United States, and more), an\n MFN tax\n \u2013 a normal non-discriminatory tax is charged on imports which is 30 percent.\u00a0\n\n\nImport Duty and Local Taxes on CBU Passenger Cars\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImport Duty\n\n\nLocal Taxes\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEngine Capacity (CC)\n\n\nMost Favoured Nation (MFN)\n\n\nASEAN ATIGA\n\n\nExcise Duties\n\n\nSales Tax (Before SST Exemption)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBelow 1,800\n\n\n30%\n\n\n0%\n\n\n75%\n\n\n10%\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1,800 \u2013 1,999\n\n\n30%\n\n\n0%\n\n\n80%\n\n\n10%\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2,000 \u2013 2,499\n\n\n30%\n\n\n0%\n\n\n90%\n\n\n10%\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbove 2,500\n\n\n30%\n\n\n0%\n\n\n105%\n\n\n10%\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn summary, these are the main things to note about CBU cars:\n\n\n\n\nCBU cars are imported as a fully furnished assembled unit\n\n\nFor non-ASEAN countries, there is a higher import duty of 30% for CBU models\n\n\nYou can purchase a CBU car as soon as it is launched and released\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat is a CKD Car?\n\n\nCKD (Completely Knocked Down) cars, on the other hand, refer to cars that are assembled at a local manufacturing company. Usually, models that are sold in Malaysia are locally assembled and this allows them to qualify for the government\u2019s incentives, as well as exemptions on excise duties. Basically, this means cheaper cars for Malaysians.\n\n\n\n\nBut why do CKD manufacturers get better tax incentives? It\u2019s all about the economic benefits. In brief, to assemble a car kit that is sent from the brand\u2019s original manufacturing country, local manufacturers would need proper machinery, space, and workers to put the (CKD) car together. This, in turn, provides more job opportunities for locals and positively contributes to the country\u2019s economy.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nWhen did Malaysia introduce CKD cars?\n\n\nBefore Malaysia achieved independence in 1957, Malaysians could only purchase imported cars (CBUs) until 1960. The local government then began paying more attention to the country\u2019s automotive industry and by 1967, local businesses started collaborating with foreign car brands to launch the CKD industry.\u00a0\n\n\nWith the advancement in local technology throughout the years, including the collaboration between foreign brands and locally assembled plants, Malaysia started producing its own car which we now know as our national brand, Proton.\n\n\nBrands that paved the CKD industry in post-independent Malaysia were Swedish Motor Assemblies (now known as Volvo Car Manufacturing Malaysia) and Capital Motor Assembly (now known as Tan Chong Motors), who started making cars towards the end of 1967.\n\n\nHere are the factories that assemble cars (CKD) in Malaysia.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCKD Car Factories\n\n\nCar Models\n\n\n\n\n\n\nToyota Assembly Services in Shah Alam and Bukit Raja\n\n\nInnova, Fortuner (Shah Alam)\n\n\nVios, Yaris (Bukit Raja)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGo Automotive Manufacturing in Gurun, Kedah\n\n\nHaval \u2013 H1, H2\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHicom Automotive Manufacturers in Pekan, Pahang\n\n\nVolkswagen \u2013 Tiguan, Tiguan Allspace, Passat, Arteon, Vento\n\n\nMercedes-Benz \u2013 C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, GLC-Class\n\n\nMitsubishi- XPander\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHonda Malaysia in Pagoh, Melaka\n\n\nHonda \u2013 City, Jazz, Civic, Accord, BR-V, HR-V, CR-V\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInokom Corporation in Kulim, Kedah\n\n\nBMW \u2013 2 Series, 3 Series, 5 Series, 6 Series GT, 7 Series, X1, X3, X4, X5\n\n\nHyundai \u2013 Ioniq, Santa Fe\n\n\nMazda \u2013 CX-5, CX-8\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNaza Automotive Manufacturing in Gurun, Kedah\n\n\nPeugeot \u2013 3008, 5008\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerodua in Rawang, Selangor\n\n\nMyvi, Alza, Aruz, Toyota Rush (PMSB subsidiary)\n\n\nAxia, Bezza (PGMSB subsidiary)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProton in Shah Alam and Tanjung Malim\n\n\nSaga, Exora (Shah Alam)\n\n\nX70, X50, Persona, Iriz (Tanjung Malim)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTan Chong Motor Assemblies in Segambut and Serendah\n\n\nNissan \u2013 Almera, X-Trail, Serena\n\n\nMitsubishi \u2013 ASX, Outlander\n\n\nSubaru \u2013 XV\n\n\nRenault -Captur\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVolvo Car Manufacturing in Shah Alam, Selangor\n\n\nXC40, s60, XC60, S90, XC90\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCBU vs CKD: Which is Better?\n\n\nMalaysians have always been obsessed about where their cars are made as some may assume that fully imported vehicles (CBU) are better in quality than locally assembled cars (CKD).\u00a0\n\n\nHowever, we now understand that the main differences are merely in the price point \u2013 both CKD and CBU cars are on par in terms of quality because they are assembled to meet the strict global manufacturing standards and subject to strict quality checks, whether locally or overseas.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHere\u2019s a quick fun fact \u2013 Malaysian assembled cars (CKD) are also being exported to other foreign countries such as:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Myvi to Singapore\n\n\nMINI Countryman S to Thailand\n\n\nMercedes-Benz C 180 to the Philippines\n\n\nMazda CX-5 to Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines\n\n\nVolvo Cars to Indonesia, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.\n\n\n\n\nSince CKD cars qualify for government incentives and tax reliefs, some locally assembled cars are more affordable than the imported units. For example, the Mercedes-AMG C 43 sedan, when it was first introduced as an imported unit, was priced at RM499,888. But now that it is locally assembled at Mercedes-Benz Malaysia\u2019s plant in Pekan, the price is RM421, 888 \u2013 generating a large difference of RM 78,000 in price.\u00a0\n\n\nOne beneficial factor of CKD models is the availability of spare parts \u2013 these parts are readily available as the center is able to source it from local vendors who supply these manufacturing companies.\n\n\nIn some cases, the parts used in CKD cars may actually be better than CBU ones. Locally-assembled BMWs, for example, have a different cooling system and rubber components compared to imported or reconditioned models. Also, these local cars benefit from different \u2018hot climate package\u2019 specifications components which cater to Malaysia\u2019s driving conditions.\u00a0\n\n\nSo, the next time you buy a car, the \u201cmade in\u201d title should not be your deciding factor. No matter if it is CKD or CBU, neither is better than the other. It all boils down to the model of the car that you want. Just remember, with a CKD car, you will end up saving more.\n\n\nFor any other used car services and news, do check Carsome out!

So much so that in its lifetime of seven generations since 1974, the Golf has not only been in the top three list of the annual European Car of The Year Award for every generation since 1975 but won twice, in 1992 and 2013. The latter was further highlighted with its win of the coveted World Car of The Year Award for the Mk 7. While the original Golf has its status as being an iconic hatchback, the brand\u2019s more powerful GTI has its own cult following.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIt is in Lake W\u00f6rthersee every year that thousands of GTI owners and fans flock to that shore in Austria to celebrate the quintessential hot hatchback. The annual gathering held since 1981 in Reifnitz is aptly named the \nW\n\u00f6rthersee GTI Treffen \nor W\u00f6rthersee Meeting, which even features a 1.5-metre stone scale replica of a Mk 2 GTI. Just earlier this year, over 200,000 gathered at the small town to show love of the hot hatch that is celebrating its 40\nth\n anniversary in 2016.\n\n\nAs a group, we managed to get together to do a tribute video in celebration.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe GTI Story\n\n\n\n\nWhen Volkswagen first introduced the Mk 1 Golf to the world in 1974, the popularity of a hatchback was still in the early stages. VW named the Golf after Golfstrom or German for gulfstream, and served as a replacement for the Beetle with the recipe of a front-engined, front-wheel drive car. Designed by legendary designer Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign, the Golf was so well received that in just two years, one million VW Golf\u2019s would have rolled out of the production line.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAnton Konrad, former Head of Volkswagen Group is considered one of the fathers of the GTI.\n\n\nBut for VW, the standard Golf wasn\u2019t enough. They wanted to make a hatchback that was comfortable enough for the everyday, and yet could be taken to the track. So the formula was simple \u2013 to squeeze in a 1.6-litre mechanical fuel-injection engine with a few external tweaks that exudes a car worthy to call the Gran Turismo Injection or GTI.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThus began the hot hatch era that compelled a host of other manufacturers to the field. The Mk 1 GTI is a distinguishable vehicle with its tartan fabric seats, \u2018spittoon\u2019 steering wheel and golf ball gear knob, but most of all, the specification comparisons of the original versus the current serves as an example that despite the advancements the current Mk 7 GTI has achieved, the original Mk 1 GTI served as a truly magnificent vehicle of its time.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVolkswagen\n\n\nGolf GTI Mk 1\n\n\nGolf GTI Mk 7\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPower\n\n\n108 hp\n\n\n227 hp\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTorque\n\n\n140 Nm at 5,000 rpm\n\n\n350 Nm at 1,500 to 4,600 rpm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n0 to 100 km/h\n\n\n9.2-seconds\n\n\n6.4-seconds\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTop Speed\n\n\n185 km/h\n\n\n250 km/h\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n\n\nFor Mk 2, the GTI became a status symbol in its 16-valve engine that made the GTI capable of a 208 km/h top speed. With its red grille, twin headlights and more aggressive bumpers, the Mk 2 was the introduction to the signature GTI styling evident even in today\u2019s Mk 7 model. It is amazing that with the popularity of the GTI, it has taken less time for VW to introduce subsequent generations after the Mk 2.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n\n\nJust two generations and 17 years between them, the Mk 3 was born in 1991 with rounder lines and won the 1992 European Car of the Year award. The Mk 4 model soon came seven years later that many felt was lacking the flair of a modern GTI to bring itself into the 21\nst\n century. Despite having 10 engine versions, the Mk 4 GTI didn\u2019t manage to catch the crowd.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n\n\nThe Mk 5 was marketed as the GTI that was \u2018For boys who have always been men\u2019 and set it into a course of hot hatches that had 197 horsepower. The Mk 5\u2019s two-litre TFSI also brought VW\u2019s dual clutch transmission to the mass market and allowed it to sprint from a standstill to under 7-seconds.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe only way VW could up the ante was in its Mk 6 GTI which delivered even more power and a higher top speed. This made it achieve up to 232 hp with the Edition 35 anniversary model and in also a first, had the first ever GTI Cabriolet.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n\n\nToday the Mk 7 is the Golf that has won over many. It was not only crowned European Car Of The Year but also World Car Of The Year 2013. GTI characteristics of the honeycomb grille, red brake calipers on the outside and further accentuated by the checked pattern seats and classic golf ball gear knob. In terms of today\u2019s power, the latest GTI Clubsport takes the standard GTI to another level. An increase from the standard 2.0-litre TSI engine, the Clubsport\u2019s output is rated at 257 hp with an interesting overboost or power up to 286 hp for short periods as opposed to the common torque boosts.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSo after seven generations, the Golf and GTI are at its current renaissance with a bright future paved for the original hot hatchback. Walter de Silva, VW\u2019s former Head of Design said, \u201cOne of the keys to the Golf\u2019s success lies in its continuity. There are a handful of cars with a design that, like the Golf\u2019s, has been refined, tweaked and enhanced down the decades and thus become timeless.\u201d\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAnd what a time it is to be living in. Here\u2019s to half a century of the Golf.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n", "Tags\nCars\nLifestyle", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Situasi cermin tiba-tiba pecah ini boleh berlaku sama ada ketika memandu atau semasa kereta ditinggalkan di kawasan tempat letak kereta.\n\n\nBiasanya, cermin depan kereta retak atau cermin kereta belakang pecah disebabkan terkena batu, keadaan cuaca yang tidak menentu, dan faktor-faktor semasa yang lain. Secara amnya, cermin kereta bukan sahaja berfungsi memberi perlindungan daripada hujan, angin, atau habuk, tetapi turut memainkan peranan penting dalam mengurangkan risiko kecederaan kepada pemandu dan penumpang sekiranya berlaku kemalangan kereta.\n\n\nCermin kereta menyumbang sehingga 34 peratus daripada keseluruhan integriti struktur kereta. Ia berfungsi mengelakkan bumbung kereta daripada remuk teruk dan menghempap pemandu atau penumpang semasa kemalangan. Pemasangan cermin kereta yang betul juga sangat penting bagi memastikan beg udara kereta berfungsi dengan baik selain membantu mengurangkan risiko kecederaan yang lebih serius akibat kemalangan.\n\n\nCermin kereta yang retak, pecah, atau tidak dipasang dengan betul tidak dapat berfungsi dengan baik dan ini akan mengurangkan keberkesanannya dalam melindungi pemandu dan penumpang.\n\n\n7 Punca Cermin Kereta Retak, Cermin Pecah yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\nKebanyakan kereta moden hari ini dilengkapi dengan tiga lapisan cermin keselamatan yang dikatakan lebih kuat dan selamat berbanding cermin biasa. Secara amnya, cermin depan kereta diperbuat daripada kaca bajaan yang telah melalui proses pemanasan yang teliti untuk menguatkan lagi struktur kaca.\n\n\nIa secara tidak langsung menjadikannya tahan lasak dan tidak mudah pecah. Meskipun begitu, rekahan atau retakan kecil pada cermin kereta masih boleh berlaku sekiranya berlaku situasi-situasi yang tak dijangka seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Cermin Kereta Retak Akibat Terkena Batu Atau Objek Asing\n\n\nObjek keras seperti batu, kayu, pasir dan sebagainya boleh menyebabkan cermin kereta retak atau pecah. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk memperlahankan kenderaan anda dan tidak mengekori belakang lori atau kenderaan berat yang membawa bahan pembinaan seperti batu kerikil, tanah, pasir atau kayu terlalu rapat. Ini kerana, meskipun objek-objek yang dibawa oleh lori ini biasanya bersaiz kecil, tetapi jika ditambah dengan faktor kelajuan ketika anda berada di jalan raya, ia dapat mengakibatkan kerosakan pada cermin depan kereta anda dengan mudah.\n\n\n\n\nJika boleh, anda disarankan untuk memotong kenderaan berat yang membawa barangan berisiko dan elakkan memandu di belakang kenderaan berat terlalu rapat. Jaga jarak ideal dengan kenderaan di hadapan anda untuk mengurangkan risiko ini berlaku kepada anda. Selain itu, ada juga situasi cermin kereta retak yang diakibatkan oleh batu yang melantun daripada kerja-kerja pemotongan rumput di tepi jalan.\n\n\nCara \nClaim \nCermin Kereta Pecah Akibat Terkena Batu Semasa Pemotongan Rumput\n\n\nSekiranya anda berdepan dengan situasi cermin kereta retak atau pecah akibat terkena batu disebabkan aktiviti pemotongan rumput, berikut antara langkah-langkah yang boleh anda lakukan untuk buat tuntutan:\n\n\n\n\nAmbil gambar cermin yang retak atau pecah dan simpan sebagai bukti untuk digunakan semasa proses tuntutan insurans kereta;\n\n\nDapatkan butiran peribadi pemotong rumput seperti nama, nombor kad pengenalan dan syarikat beliau bekerja. Catatkan juga lokasi, tarikh dan masa kejadian;\n\n\nHubungi syarikat kontraktor dan dapatkan nama serta lokasi bengkel panel syarikat insurans berdaftar;\n\n\nBuat laporan polis dalam tempoh masa 24 jam. Nyatakan dalam laporan butiran peribadi pemotong rumput termasuk nama syarikat kontraktor, lokasi, tarikh dan masa kejadian berlaku;\n\n\nSetelah selesai, bawa laporan polis ke bengkel panel insurans berdekatan anda untuk mendapatkan penggantian cermin kereta secara percuma.\n\n\n\n\n2. Dahan Pokok Patah, Jatuh Menghempap Cermin Kereta\n\n\nAda sesetengah pemilik kereta yang memilih untuk meletakkan kereta di bawah pokok untuk berteduh daripada cuaca panas. Namun begitu, perbuatan ini sebenarnya agak berisiko. Jika cuaca tiba-tiba berubah menjadi buruk \u2013 contohnya seperti hujan lebat atau ribut, ia boleh menyebabkan dahan pokok patah lalu jatuh menghempap cermin kereta anda.\n\n\n3. Cermin Kereta Pecah Disebabkan Cuaca Panas\n\n\nSecara amnya, setiap bahagian cermin kereta mempunyai kadar pengecutan dan pengembangan yang berbeza \u2013 kadar pemanasan di bahagian tepi cermin biasanya lebih cepat berbanding bahagian tengah cermin.\n\n\nOleh sebab itu, kenderaan yang dibiarkan terdedah kepada cahaya matahari secara berpanjangan berisiko mengalami cermin kereta retak atau cermin tiba-tiba pecah. Ini kerana, bahan logam pada rangka kereta berpotensi memanaskan bahagian tepi cermin dengan lebih cepat sekaligus menyebabkan keretakan.\n\n\nElakkan daripada meletakkan kereta di bawah panas terik pada jangka masa panjang. Anda disarankan untuk meletakkan kereta anda di kawasan tertutup atau di kawasan teduh yang selamat.\n\n\n4. Cermin Tiba-tiba Pecah Disebabkan Perubahan Suhu\n\n\nSelain daripada cuaca panas, perubahan suhu secara mendadak boleh menyebabkan cermin kereta retak atau pecah secara tiba-tiba. Meskipun situasi sebegini amat jarang berlaku, anda disarankan untuk berhati-hati dan mengamalkan langkah pencegahan yang sesuai.\n\n\nPerubahan suhu secara tiba-tiba daripada cuaca panas terik (suhu tinggi) kepada cuaca hujan (suhu rendah) boleh meningkatkan risiko keretakan cermin dan menyebabkan cermin pecah dan retak secara tiba-tiba. Berikut merupakan antara kesilapan-kesilapan biasa yang dilakukan oleh pemilik kereta yang boleh menyumbang kepada masalah cermin tiba-tiba retak:\n\n\n\n\nMeletakkan kereta di kawasan terbuka pada hari panas untuk tempoh masa yang lama.\n\n\nMenghidupkan penyaman udara pada suhu tinggi sebaik sahaja menghidupkan enjin kereta semasa suhu di dalam kereta masih panas.\n\n\nMembasuh kereta atau cermin depan dengan air sejuk semasa cuaca panas.\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, cuaca panas juga berpotensi menyebabkan retakan kecil sedia ada menjadi lebih besar lebih-lebih lagi jika kereta dibiarkan di kawasan terbuka. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk sentiasa berhati-hati dan peka dengan suhu persekitaran semasa untuk mengelakkan cermin kereta retak atau rosak.\n\n\n5. Cermin Kereta Pecah Kerana Kelemahan atau Kecacatan Struktur Cermin\n\n\nKeretakan atau kerosakan cermin kereta juga boleh berlaku disebabkan oleh kelemahan atau kecacatan pada struktur cermin itu sendiri. Masalah kerosakan produk atau komponen tertentu kereta pada fasa pengeluaran merupakan masalah biasa yang sering berlaku.\n\n\n\n\nUmumnya, produk seperti cermin kereta akan melalui proses pembuatan dan penilaian tertentu sebelum diluluskan untuk memasuki pasaran. Namun begitu, adakalanya sesetengah produk yang diluluskan tidak mencapai standard yang ditetapkan disebabkan oleh pelbagai faktor seperti terlepas pandang atau sebagainya.\n\n\nTegasan sisa atau residual stress yang tertinggal semasa proses pembuatan misalnya boleh menjejaskan dan melemahkan struktur cermin kereta sekaligus meningkatkan potensi cermin retak. Dalam erti kata lain, proses pembuatan yang tidak dilakukan dengan teliti boleh menyebabkan struktur cermin kereta menjadi lemah dan mudah retak.\n\n\n6. Pemasangan yang Tidak Berkualiti Meningkatkan Risiko Cermin Pecah & Retak\n\n\nSelain kelemahan struktur, kerosakan cermin kereta juga boleh berlaku disebabkan oleh kualiti pemasangan yang kurang baik. Meskipun faktor cermin kereta retak disebabkan oleh kualiti pemasangan merupakan situasi yang jarang berlaku, anda disarankan untuk menggunakan perkhidmatan mekanik yang berpengalaman untuk mengurangkan risiko ini.\n\n\nSekiranya cermin kereta tidak dipasang dengan betul dan longgar, ia boleh bergegar dan akan memberi tekanan pada cermin. Oleh sebab cermin kereta juga memberikan sokongan pada struktur kereta, tekanan pada struktur dalaman kereta boleh mengurangkan kekuatan cermin kereta anda. Tekanan pada cermin secara tidak langsung menyebabkan cermin kereta anda berisiko untuk pecah.\n\n\n7. Cermin Retak Seribu Disebabkan Kemalangan\n\n\nSekiranya anda pernah terlibat dalam kemalangan jalan raya sebelum ini, ia mungkin salah satu punca cermin kereta anda retak atau rosak. Cara terbaik untuk melindungi cermin kereta anda daripada keretakan dan kerosakan yang berpunca daripada kemalangan adalah dengan memandu secara berhati-hati dan sentiasa peka dengan keadaan sekeliling setiap masa. Selain kemalangan, cermin kereta pecah atau retak boleh berlaku disebabkan perlanggaran dengan objek lain seperti burung atau batu yang melantun daripada tayar kenderaan lain semasa memandu di lebuh raya.\n\n\nMalah, terdapat situasi di mana cermin kereta pecah disebabkan terkena bola golf atau bola hoki. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk tidak meletakkan kenderaan di kawasan tempat letak kereta yang berhampiran dengan padang golf, hoki atau lokasi lain yang berpotensi mendatangkan bahaya kepada cermin kereta anda.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nProses Tuntutan Insurans Kereta dan Cara Claim Insurans Kemalangan\n\n\nCara untuk Elakkan Cermin Retak, Cermin Pecah\n\n\nPengetahuan mengenai cara untuk mengurangkan risiko cermin kereta pecah atau retak dapat mengelakkan anda daripada menanggung kos penggantian cermin kereta yang lebih mahal. Berikut merupakan tips yang boleh anda ikuti untuk panduan dan rujukan anda:\n\n\n1. Jaga Jarak Selamat\n\n\nSemasa memandu di lebuh raya atau jalan raya biasa, pastikan anda menjaga jarak yang selamat dengan kenderaan di hadapan yang membawa muatan barangan seperti batu atau kayu. Percikan batu, pasir atau serpihan kayu yang jatuh daripada lori yang sedang bergerak boleh menyebabkan cermin kereta pecah atau retak. Amalkan peraturan 12 saat semasa mengekori kenderaan-kenderaan dengan muatan barangan seperti lori atau treler ini.\n\n\n2. Pandu dengan Berhati-hati\n\n\nSelain mengurangkan risiko kemalangan, memandu dengan berhati-hati mengikut had laju dan peraturan yang ditetapkan juga dapat mengurangkan risiko cermin kereta retak atau pecah akibat terkena objek atau sebarang serpihan yang terpelanting atau terbang. Pandu dengan berhati-hati dan jaga jarak yang selamat, terutamanya semasa memandu di belakang kenderaan besar atau dalam kawasan pembinaan.\n\n\n3. Elakkan Cuci Kereta Pada Waktu Tengah Hari\n\n\n\n\nElakkan \ncuci kereta\n pada waktu tengah hari \u2013 perubahan suhu yang mendadak boleh meningkatkan risiko cermin kereta retak atau pecah. Cermin kereta yang panas yang terkena air (suhu sejuk) lebih tinggi risiko untuk retak atau pecah. Selain itu, elakkan daripada meletakkan kenderaan anda di bawah cahaya matahari terik. Jika boleh, parking kereta anda di tempat yang teduh atau di kawasan yang berbumbung.\n\n\n4. Sentiasa Periksa Cermin Kereta\n\n\nSekiranya anda mendapati cermin kereta anda mempunyai kesan serpihan, retak atau pecah, lakukan pembaikan dengan segera. Kerosakan kecil sebegini boleh dilakukan dengan melakukan proses refilling atau repairing. Jika diabaikan, kerosakan kecil ini boleh menjadi lebih teruk dan serius sekali gus memaksa anda untuk menggantikan keseluruhan cermin kereta.\n\n\nCermin Kereta Perlu Digantikan? Ini Cara \nClaim \nInsurans Cermin Kereta & Harga Cermin Kereta\n\n\nSekiranya cermin kereta anda rosak, retak atau pecah, anda boleh melakukan \ntuntutan daripada penyedia insurans\n dengan syarat anda mempunyai perlindungan tambahan ini. Di bawah perlindungan ini, anda akan diberi pampasan terhadap kos yang diperlukan bagi menggantikan cermin kereta yang retak atau pecah disebabkan oleh kemalangan, terkena batu, dipecahkan (akibat rompakan, samun) atau sebagainya bergantung pada polisi anda. Anda hanya perlu menyediakan dokumen-dokumen (salinan, asal) seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\nKad pengenalan pemilik\n\n\nLesen memandu\n\n\nGeran kereta\n\n\nSalinan polisi insurans yang masih sah\n\n\n\n\nBawa kereta anda ke bengkel panel untuk menguruskan penggantian cermin kereta. Namun begitu, jika anda tidak mempunyai insurans tambahan untuk perlindungan cermin kereta, anda perlu mengeluarkan belanja sendiri untuk membaiki cermin kereta yang rosak.\n\n\n\n\nHarga Cermin Kereta di Pasaran Malaysia\n\n\nDi sini kami sediakan senarai harga cermin kereta di pasaran Malaysia untuk rujukan anda seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSenarai Harga Cermin Kereta\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModel\n\n\nAnggaran Harga Cermin Kereta\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Myvi\n\n\nRM600 \u2013 RM700\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProton Wira\n\n\nRM700 \u2013 800\n\n\n\n\n\n\nToyota Vios\n\n\nRM800 \u2013 RM2,000\n\n\n\n\n\n\nToyota Alphard\n\n\nRM3,000\n\n\n\n\n\n\nToyota Yaris\n\n\nRM1,500\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Kancil\n\n\nRM500\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProton Waja\n\n\nRM800\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProton Iswara\n\n\nRM700\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Kelisa\n\n\nRM500\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHonda Civic FD\n\n\nRM1,500 \u2013 2,000\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Axia\n\n\nRM500\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Bezza\n\n\nRM700\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHonda City\n\n\nRM1,000 \u2013 RM1,200\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHonda Jazz\n\n\nRM1,000 \u2013 RM1,500\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHonda HR-V\n\n\nRM1,500 \u2013 RM3,000\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHonda BR-V\n\n\nRM1,500\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHonda Accord\n\n\nRM1,000 \u2013 RM2,500\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk maklumat lanjut mengenai harga cermin kereta yang perlu dibayar bagi jenama dan model kereta yang lain, anda boleh layari \nlaman web ini\n.\n\n\nBagaimana Jika Anda Perlu Pecahkan Cermin Kereta Anda?\n\n\nApabila berada dalam situasi kecemasan, anda mungkin terpaksa \nmemecahkan cermin kereta anda\n untuk menyelamatkan nyawa anda atau orang lain.

Contrary to belief, changing a flat tire isn\u2019t as scary and complicated as you think it is. Here\u2019s a step-by-step guide on how to change your flat tire with a spare one.\u00a0\n\n\nStep 1: Pull Over Somewhere Safe\u00a0\n\n\nIf you realize your tire is starting to run flat while driving, quickly turn on your hazard lights or signal indicators and slowly move your vehicle to the side of the road \u2013 getting your car out of the way should be your top priority. Make sure to watch out for oncoming traffic.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nStep 2: Making Sure the Car Stays in Place Before Changing Out the Flat Tire\n\n\nOnce your car is safely parked at the side of the road, put your gears into Park (P) or Neutral (N), then engage the handbrake. Most cars should have their spare tire and tools at the boot of the vehicle underneath the tarp. Your car should have the following items:\n\n\n\n\nspare tire;\n\n\nwheel jack;\n\n\nwheel chocks; and\n\n\na lug wrench or breaker bar. \n\n\n\n\nOn certain car models, you may have a set of instructions imprinted somewhere within on how to replace a flat tire. If not, it\u2019s okay \u2013 we\u2019ll list down the steps on how to change it yourself.\n\n\nNow, get the wheel chocks. They should look like door wedges but for car tires. Wedge these wheel chocks at the front wheels of your car first to prevent it from rolling away.\u00a0\n\n\nStep 3: Loosen the Lugnuts\u00a0\n\n\nIf your car has any hubcaps, your vehicle should come with a removal tool to lift the piece off. Then, loosen the lug nuts with the breaker bar or lug wrench before lifting the car first because you might accidentally move the whole car while it\u2019s on the jack. Don\u2019t remove the lugnuts yet!\u00a0\n\n\nTake your time during this process. You don\u2019t need to rush this like a Formula 1 Pit Crew. Also, pay no attention to the busybodies of Malaysian traffic that slowed down just to have a look.\n\n\n\n\nStep 4: Jack & Lift the Wheel\u00a0\n\n\nFind a jacking point. It\u2019s usually located at the lower side of the vehicle, in between the wheel arches and doors. Usually, it\u2019ll have a small wedge or some form of mounting slot.\u00a0 Insert the wheel jack in and lift it up. Make sure it\u2019s high enough for the wheel to be lifted above the tarmac before removing the wheel entirely.\u00a0\n\n\nRemove the lug nuts that you have loosened earlier once this step is completed.\u00a0\n\n\nStep 5: Remove the Old Wheel & Bring in the New\u00a0\n\n\nRemove the wheel once all the lug nuts are removed. Grab the new wheel from the trunk, and align the screw holes on the wheels with the lug bolts. Make sure the new wheel sits all the way in on the lug bolts before tightening the lug nuts back on clockwise. Screw in the lug nuts tightly otherwise that spare wheel might come off during your drives.\n\n\nStep 6: Viola! You\u2019re Done\u00a0\n\n\nOnce the wheel sits firm, and all the lug nuts are tightened, you should be all set! Now pack up your tools back in your trunk and it\u2019s time to head to the nearest workshop to get your proper wheel changed. If that is not an option at the moment, do stop and check your mounted spare wheel approximately every 50km or so to make sure it\u2019s still mounted properly.\u00a0\n\n\nRead more: \nLooking for New Wheels? Here\u2019s a Guide on Run-flat Tires\n\n\n\n\nHow to Perform Maintenance on Your Tires at Home\n\n\nTo ensure your tires remain in tip-top condition, one should do some maintenance and check-up from time to time on your wheels. A simple tire pressure check during your next trip to the petrol station goes a long way. In addition, when your car is parked, take note of any foreign objects or debris such as rocks, dirt, or sometimes even nails wedged in between the threads. You can use a metal wire or a small screwdriver to remove them.\n\n\nRead More: \nWhat You Need to Know About Car Tires\n\n\nAt CARSOME, we always make sure our vehicles go through a rigorous 175-point inspection to ensure all our cars are free from major accidents and flood damage.

Does it still wipe as well as it did on the first day? What about inconsistent wipes? If any of these questions come up frequently, it is certainly time to change those wipers. Living in a climate that is perpetually hot and raining makes it crucial for owners to change their wipers. This is where \nBosch\u2019s Advantage wipers\n come in.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nA Bosch Automotive Aftermarket survey has revealed that 35 per cent of Malaysian drivers spend an average of RM 21 \u2013 RM 40 on wiper blades. This is followed by 28 per cent and 15 per cent spending RM 41 \u2013 RM 60 and RM 80 \u2013 RM 120 respectively. From the survey, it was also revealed that 70 per cent of Malaysian drivers viewed wipers as very important for driver and passenger safety. However, 53 per cent of drivers polled indicated that they stretched the lifespan of their wipers beyond 23 months; while only 32 per cent changed their wiper blades every year. Bosch recommends drivers to inspect the condition of their wiper blades regularly after the six-month mark, and to replace them once every year. \u201cWhile many wipers today can last up to a year, we highly recommend inspecting the wiper blades every six months for wear and tear,\u201d said Pang Yoon Kong, country manager of Bosch Automotive Aftermarket Malaysia.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBosch Wiper Blade Hook Installation\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe Bosch Clear Advantage wiper is equipped with a hassle-free quick clip adapter that enables drivers to replace the wiper blades conveniently in just one step. The wiper blade\u2019s rubber is also coated with graphite to reduce friction between the blade and the windscreen for a smooth and quiet wiping performance. In addition, the flat blade wiper is equipped with a mono Evodium steel spring that spans the entire length of the blade, creating a uniform pressure throughout the wiper blade against the windscreen.\n\n\nFor more information or locate a Bosch authorised dealer for wipers today, visit \nBosch Malaysia\n.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDo you have a car to sell?

But since everyone is so done with this year, it would be great if we can just relive the year 2019 or skip to 2021 already. This year was literally one tragedy after another.\u00a0 We started the year with the bushfire, while that was still hot, the world was scared of the possibility of World War III, then a pandemic happened, and the world went to a complete halt.\n\n\nsource : Giphy\n\n\nMost countries closed their borders as everyone was asked to stay indoor due to the lockdown to curb the spread of the virus. Nearly everyone was somehow affected, physically, mentally as well as financially.\n\n\nBut rather than wallowing in all that negativity and getting depressed, get up, breathe in the fresh air, and think happy thoughts because 2020 is also filled with happiness and joy in so many ways.\u00a0 And speaking of happiness, we came across this beautiful campaign by Nando\u2019s where they want to \u201cRecelebrate 2020\u201d to encourage everyone to stay positive.\n\n\nimage source : Nando\u2019s Facebook\n\n\nIt has been a tough year with most of us not being able to spend time celebrating special occasions with family and friends be it festive celebrations, birthdays, anniversaries, and others.\u00a0 But \nNando\u2019s \u201cRecelebrate 2020\u2019\n reminds everyone that it\u2019s never too late for joy and celebration and we thought, why not celebrate all the goodness that happened this year?\n\n\nQuarantined Creativity\n\n\nOn 18\nth\n of March 2020, we all went into a lockdown mode because of the Movement Control Order. (MCO). While some got bored with all that time, others got creative in the kitchen and some even took the time to learn a new skill. The creat\nive isolation ball started rolling with \nDalgona Coffee\n \u2013 a kind of coffee that is whipped to perfection, both in taste and in visual.\n\n\nimage source: rojakdaily.com\n\n\n It moved on to Milo Cake and Milo Ice-cream using the Milo 3-in-1 sachets, which was literally the best thing ever since every Malaysian loves their Milo. Then, when we ran out of bread in the supermarkets and all the other small grocery shops, baking supplies started running out as everyone was baking their own bread. At one point, everyone started buying cream cheese as well to make the burnt cheesecake. At this point, literall\ny every household was doing something creative in their kitchen and forgot about the despair that came with Covid-19.\n\n\nimage source: discoverkl.com\n\n\nApart from those who thrived in the kitchen, there were also those who get creative with their hands and started learning new soft-skills like watercolor brush painting, modern calligraphy, soap and bath bombs, scented candles, polymer-clay jewelries, and even to the extent of making their own skincare and makeup which produced both joy and happiness.\n\n\nDrive-in Movie Theaters\n\n\nAs the country starts to recover from the m\nonths of lockdown, social distancing and sanitary precautions are to be taken extra seriously. Although movie theaters are open now and follow all the SOPs stated by the government, the fear of Covid will always be there (at least till the cure is found), so your other alternative is Drive-In Cinema which is way safer.\u00a0\n\n\nimage source: vulcanpost.com\n\n\n We currently have two, the one in KL called \nNescafe M-Junction Drive-In Cinema\n and another in Ipoh called the \nCasuarina Sini-Drive\n. Drive-in movie theaters have the advantages of viewing while being in our own private vehicle. So there is already a built-in social distancing as cars are parked at least 6 feet away from each other and proper \nSOPs are followed to make it a safe and fun experience.\n\n\n#KitaJagaKita\n\n\n#KitaJagaKita is an initiative born out of wanting to help those who are in need during the uncertain times surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic. It was heartwarming to see Malaysians of all walks of life, step up during these uncertain and testing times to help o\nne another get through the lockdown and pandemic. Hanna Alkaf, the founder of this campaign, wanted a platform that would make it easier for people to donate or volunteer their services to those who need it.\n\n\nimage source : buzzkini.com\n\n\nShe knew she wasn\u2019t the only one who felt helpless at home and together with a group of friends, they created the #\nKitaJagaKita\n website, a one stop shop that matches people and organizations with those who might need help (affected individuals, groups, medical community) via various civil society initiatives. One thing that we can conclude from the #KitaJagaKita movement is that helping others makes everyone truly happy.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nThe New Way of Buying a Cars\n\n\nMoving onto the world of automobiles, we at Carsome recently launched The New Way of Buying Cars.

Unlike Singapore whose vehicles are bound by the Certificate of Entitlement (COE), over here, a car does not cease to exist unless we deem it unworthy of being so, whether mechanically or financially.\n\n\nWhat\u2019s the fate then for a car that\u2019s past its prime and road worthiness? What are the options for an owner looking to dispose a heap of well-aged metal?\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSimply Give It Away \n\n\n\n\nSell off your 20-year old car you\u2019d pocket a few thousand, give it to your 18-year old nephew and he\u2019d cherish your generosity for life.\n \nCredit\n: Autoblog\n\n\nCars which have surpassed the 20-year milestone, is most likely seasoned beyond its prime. In its state of existence, it\u2019s probably not worth more than RM 10,000 and options are usually limited to it being used as a spare vehicle or being sold for cheap. Better yet, for the finally privileged, you might choose to give it away.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell It Privately Online or To Used Car Dealers\n\n\n\n\nWe don\u2019t have to remind you of this hilarious advertisement\n.\n Credit\n: YouTube\n\n\nSelling an old faithful through one of the many classifieds websites or used car dealers are the more common way to go.

Selling off a 1990\u2019s Corolla may only see it fetch a little more than RM 5,000 but selling off its engine alone will see a return of more than RM 1,500. And that\u2019s excluding the gearbox, doors, seats and trims etc.\n\n\nThere are many pages on Facebook and classified websites to advertise such parted out items, but be prepared to play the waiting game.

They also highlighted that if a car is still deemed to be of some use, satisfactory prices would be offered.\n\n\nFrom the to-be-scrapped vehicle, various components and items such as batteries, carburettors, or seats will usually be salvaged for refurbishment. The rest, such as the doors and body of the car, are typically sold for material.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell It via Carsome\n\n\n\n\nSelling a car may sound as easy as offloading a thoroughly worn out, old pair of shoes but the reality of it isn\u2019t as simple. Dealing with countless of \u201cprospective\u201d buyers, long queues at Puspakom and even longer ones at JPJ are one of the many perils of off-loading your own vehicle.\n\n\nWe offer an alternative way of selling your car, the 21\nst\n century way if you will.

Mini Trash Can\n\n\nKeeping your car clean and organized can prevent bacterial growth and keep pests such as cockroaches away. Plus, a \nclean interior\n is just so much nicer to be in and look at.

If not, the car will never be under your name even if you have paid the full purchase price of the car.\n\n\n3. \nWhat happens if I don\u2019t pay for the outstanding summonses at all?\n\n\nA few things will happen namely, you won\u2019t be able to renew your road tax and driver\u2019s license, your name will be blacklisted in documents relating to your vehicle and worst case scenario a letter of demand will be issued against you, in which you will be required to go to the Magistrates Court to clear your name from being blacklisted and also settle the outstanding summonses.\n\n\nOutstanding Summonses Can Stop a Car Sale\n\n\nDo note that if there are outstanding summonses on a used car, \nJPJ\n will not transfer the used car to your name as the previous owner has yet to pay his / her traffic summons. This is something to look into when buying a used car.

Jika sebelum ini, kebanyakan daripada kita mungkin selesa menggunakan pengangkutan awam seperti kapal terbang, kereta api atau bas. Namun selari dengan amalan norma baharu, pengguna pengangkutan awam kini lebih selesa menggunakan kereta sendiri untuk meluangkan masa hujung minggu dengan bercuti atau \nroad trip\n bersama keluarga. Meskipun aktiviti \nroad trip\n kedengaran menyeronokkan, banyak perkara yang perlu dititikberatkan sebelum memulakan perjalanan antaranya servis atau \ncheck\n kereta sebelum dan selepas perjalanan.\n\n\n\n\nServis dan\n check\n kereta sebelum \nroad trip\n\n\nServis dan\n check\n kereta selepas \nroad trip\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPemeriksaan dan Penyelenggaraan Kereta Sebelum \nRoad Trip\n\n\nSecara amnya, anda disarankan untuk memeriksa dan menyelenggara kereta sebelum memulakan perjalanan. Ia bertujuan untuk memastikan perjalanan yang akan ditempuh lebih selamat dan selesa tanpa sebarang masalah mekanikal seperti kerosakan enjin atau enjin kereta \noverheat, \ntayar pecah atau bocor dan sebagainya. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk\n cek\n kereta sebelum jalan jauh untuk mengelakkan perkara-perkara tidak diingini daripada berlaku. Perkara-perkara sebegini bukan sahaja boleh membazirkan masa anda, malah ia boleh merosakkan mood percutian anda.\n\n\n1. Tukar Minyak Hitam Kereta Anda\n\n\nSebelum memulakan perjalanan, pastikan anda memeriksa minyak hitam kereta anda. Jika tarikh penyelenggaraan minyak hitam seterusnya sudah hampir, segera tukar minyak hitam kereta anda. Perjalanan jauh boleh meningkatkan tekanan pada kereta anda sekali gus meningkatkan risiko kerosakan. Berikut merupakan panduan untuk anda memeriksa paras minyak hitam kereta anda:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPastikan enjin kereta dimatikan, buka bonet hadapan kereta anda;\n\n\nCabut \ndipstick\n dan bersihkan sisa minyak padanya menggunakan kain atau tisu;\n\n\nMasukkan semula\n dipstick\n ke dalam minyak hitam, kemudian keluarkannya semula;\n\n\nPerhatikan paras minyak hitam kereta anda \u2013 paras minyak hitam yang ideal berada di antara dua tanda pada \ndipstick. \nSekiranya paras minyak hitam rendah, tambah segera mengikut kesesuaian.\n\n\nPeriksa juga tahap kepekatan minyak hitam \u2013 minyak hitam yang berada dalam keadaan baik akan berwarna lut sinar dan sedikit kuning atau kehijauan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNamun begitu, menambah atau \ntop up\n minyak hitam baharu ke dalam minyak hitam sedia ada tidak sama seperti menggantikan minyak hitam sepenuhnya. Ini kerana, endap cemar atau \nsludge\n daripada minyak sedia ada masih terkumpul dan tidak dibersihkan. Jika boleh, \ntukar minyak hitam\n dan gantikan penapis minyak hitam.\n\n\n2. Periksa Tahap Bendalir Kereta\n\n\nSecara amnya, kenderaan bergantung pada bendalir tertentu seperti minyak pelincir, cecair cucian cermin atau cecair penyejuk untuk berfungsi secara optimum. Cecair penyejuk atau \ncoolant\n misalnya, memainkan peranan penting mengelakkan enjin kereta terlampau panas atau \noverheat. \nMalah, tahap bendalir yang mencukupi secara tidak langsung dapat mengurangkan dan mengelakkan kereta rosak secara tiba-tiba yang berpotensi menyebabkan kemalangan.\n\n\nAnda boleh merujuk manual pemilik sekiranya anda tidak pasti dengan tahap bendalir yang disarankan untuk kereta anda. Berikut merupakan antara komponen kereta yang perlu diperiksa untuk perjalanan jauh:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMinyak gear \u2013 lakukan pemeriksaan sama seperti anda memeriksa paras minyak hitam kereta;\n\n\nCecair penyejuk boleh mengelakkan kereta anda \noverheat\n terutamanya semasa pemanduan jarak jauh untuk jangka masa yang lama;\n\n\nMinyak brek untuk prestasi brek yang selamat;\n\n\nCecair stereng kuasa atau \npower steering\n untuk pengendalian yang lancar.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Periksa Tayar Kereta\n\n\nRamai dalam kalangan pemilik kenderaan yang memandang ringan aspek penjagaan tayar kereta. Tayar kereta merupakan satu-satunya komponen penting kereta yang bersentuhan dengan permukaan jalan raya. Ini bermaksud, sedikit kerosakan pada permukaan atau dinding tayar boleh memberi kesan yang ketara terhadap keselesaan dan keselamatan semasa pemanduan. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk memastikan tayar kereta berada dalam keadaan terbaik sebelum memulakan perjalanan \u2013 kerosakan pada tayar kereta boleh menjejaskan prestasi dan cengkaman brek, kawalan serta pengendalian kereta.\n\n\ni. Tekanan Angin Tayar Kereta\n\n\nAnda juga disarankan untuk memastikan tekanan angin tayar kereta adalah mencukupi sebelum memulakan perjalanan. Tayar kereta yang berada dalam keadaan baik (tekanan angin tayar mencukupi, tidak botak atau haus) boleh mengurangkan risiko kemalangan dan membantu meningkatkan penjimatan bahan api. Umumnya, tekanan angin tayar yang berlebihan boleh menyebabkan tayar pecah atau tayar pancit. Tekanan angin tayar yang berkurangan pula boleh meningkatkan penggunaan bahan api dan boleh menyukarkan pengendalian.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nTekanan Angin Tayar Kereta, Cara Isi Angin Tayar Kereta dengan Betul\n\n\nii. Tahap Kehausan Tayar\n\n\nSelain tekanan angin tayar kereta, anda juga disarankan untuk mengenal pasti sebarang potensi atau risiko kerosakan pada tayar seperti tayar kereta kena paku, bunga tayar haus, tayar bengkak, tayar botak, tayar makan dalam atau sebagainya. Keadaan tayar yang tidak sempurna seperti tayar botak atau bunga tayar haus boleh membahayakan dan mengganggu pemanduan anda lebih-lebih lagi semasa hujan.\n\n\nPermukaan jalan yang basah dan licin ditambah pula dengan cengkaman tayar yang berkurangan boleh menyebabkan kereta hilang kawalan sekiranya anda menekan pedal brek secara tiba-tiba. Malah, tayar botak atau bunga tayar haus juga meningkatkan risiko tayar pancit atau pecah.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nTayar Makan Dalam, Tayar Botak atau Bunga Tayar Haus? Punca Kerosakan Tayar yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\n4. Pastikan Lampu Kereta, \nSignal\n Kereta Berfungsi dengan Baik\n\n\nSebelum memulakan perjalanan, penting untuk anda memastikan semua lampu kereta termasuk \nsignal\n kereta menyala dan berada dalam keadaan baik. Lampu kereta yang berada dalam keadaan baik, terang dan tidak rosak membantu membolehkan anda melihat dengan jelas selain memudahkan pemandu kenderaan lain melihat kereta anda dengan lebih jelas terutamanya pada waktu malam. Anda disarankan untuk mengesan sama ada terdapat kerosakan pada\u00a0lampu kereta anda (lampu depan, lampu belakang, lampu undur, lampu brek dan\n signal kereta\n).\n\n\nMinta bantuan ahli keluarga atau rakan untuk menghidupkan enjin, menghidupkan suis lampu atau menekan brek sementara anda memeriksa di sekeliling kenderaan anda.\u00a0Selain itu, anda juga disarankan untuk menyediakan mentol lampu ganti (\nspare bulbs\n) sebagai langkah berjaga-jaga sekiranya mentol \nlampu kereta\n anda terbakar atau mati secara tiba-tiba semasa perjalanan.\n\n\n5. Periksa Bateri Kereta\n\n\nJika bateri kereta anda tidak ditukar untuk suatu tempoh tertentu (lebih setahun), periksa sama ada bateri kereta anda masih lagi berada dalam keadaan baik. Jika bunyi\n \nstarter\n kereta \nanda perlahan, ia mungkin menandakan hakisan pada bateri atau bateri kereta anda sudah kong atau lemah. Selain itu, sekiranya anda berdepan situasi \nenjin kereta tak boleh\n start\n secara tiba-tiba semasa berhenti di kawasan rehat atau mengisi minyak contohnya, ia mungkin menandakan voltan\n bateri kereta kong\n \natau sudah lemah. Anda juga boleh melakukan \njumper\n bateri kereta\n untuk menghidupkan enjin kereta anda.\n\n\n6. Pastikan Peralatan Kecemasan Mencukupi, Berfungsi\n\n\nSelain itu, anda juga disarankan untuk menyediakan peralatan atau kit kecemasan semasa \nroad trip\n. Ia sebagai langkah berjaga-jaga sekiranya berlaku perkara yang tidak diingini sepanjang perjalanan. Pastikan kereta anda sekurang-kurangnya dilengkapi dengan peralatan yang boleh membantu anda sekiranya berlaku insiden yang tidak diingini seperti\n tayar pancit \natau kereta tak boleh \nstart\n tiba-tiba. Anda boleh menyediakan \nchecklist\n item wajib ada dalam kit kecemasan seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKit peralatan untuk menukar tayar \nspare\n termasuk\n jack\n kereta \u2013 pastikan tekanan angin tayar\n spare\n diperiksa dan diisi sebelum perjalanan;\n\n\nPemutar skru, playar, spanar pelbagai saiz dan peralatan lain yang diperlukan;\n\n\nKabel \njumper;\n\n\nPita pembalut;\n\n\nTelefon mudah alih, lampu suluh dan \npowerbank\n;\n\n\nSarung tangan;\n\n\nAir minuman botol;\n\n\nBaju hujan;\n\n\nFirst aid kit\n.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBawa bersama segi tiga amaran (\nwarning triangle kit\n) untuk digunakan sekiranya kereta anda tiba-tiba mati dan tersadai di jalan raya. Segi tiga amaran berfungsi sebagai peringatan dan amaran berjaga-jaga kepada pemandu dan pengguna jalan raya yang lain bahawa mereka sedang menghampiri kenderaan yang sedang berhenti disebabkan kerosakan atau kemalangan. Selain itu, anda juga boleh mempertimbangkan item tambahan lain seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCecair pensanitasi tangan atau \nhand sanitizer;\n\n\nPelitup muka;\n\n\nSarung tangan pakai buang;\n\n\nTisu basah antiseptik.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nTukul Cermin, \u2018Dashcam\u2019 serta Aksesori Kereta Lain Yang Perlu Ada dalam Kereta\n\n\n7. Basuh Kereta\n\n\nSelain aspek penyelenggaraan, anda juga disarankan untuk membasuh kereta anda sebelum memulakan perjalanan. Meskipun ia kedengaran remeh dan tidak penting, Saranan \nmembasuh atau mencuci kereta\n ini membantu:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeningkatkan kadar kebolehlihatan cermin kereta yang lebih jelas. Ini kerana, bendasing seperti debu, tahi burung dan sebagainya dibersihkan daripada cermin kereta sekali gus meningkatkan jarak penglihatan;\n\n\nMengenal pasti mana-mana komponen kereta yang rosak seperti tayar kereta, \nwiper\n kereta\n dan sebagainya \u2013 anda akan meneliti satu persatu bahagian kereta semasa membasuh kereta. Oleh itu, ia membantu anda mengenal pasti komponen kereta yang rosak atau memerlukan perhatian dengan lebih mudah.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. Pandu Uji Kereta Anda\n\n\nAnda juga disarankan untuk menghidupkan kereta, memandu di kawasan perumahan anda dan mengenal pasti sebarang perbezaan kecil yang dialami oleh kereta anda. Ini termasuk\n bunyi kereta\n, stereng atau tayar kereta bergegar atau sebarang tanda-tanda kerosakan yang lain yang dirasai semasa memandu. Berikut merupakan antara tanda-tanda lain yang perlu diberikan perhatian:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStereng kereta tak \ncenter\n di jalan yang lurus menandakan masalah pada \nalignment\n kereta anda;\n\n\nBunyi ketika brek menandakan pad brek kereta anda sudah haus. Anda disarankan untuk gantikan pad brek jika perlu. Pad brek perlu digantikan jika pad brek berbunyi atau digunakan melebihi 80,000 km sejak kali terakhir ia ditukar.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJika anda merasakan ada sesuatu yang tidak kena pada kereta anda, segera bawa kereta ke bengkel untuk pemeriksaan. Ia bukan sahaja dapat mengelakkan kemalangan atau insiden yang tidak diingini semasa perjalanan, tetapi juga dapat mengelakkan kos pembaikan yang lebih tinggi sekiranya melibatkan kerosakan enjin yang serius atau sebagainya.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPemeriksaan dan Penyelenggaraan Kereta Selepas \nRoad Trip\n\n\nSeperti diketahui umum, aspek pemeriksaan dan penyelenggaraan kereta sebelum memulakan perjalanan jauh amat penting. Meskipun begitu, pemeriksaan dan penyelenggaraan kereta selepas perjalanan juga memainkan peranan yang sama penting untuk keselesaan dan keselamatan anda. Berikut merupakan perkara yang perlu dititikberatkan selepas\n road trip\n untuk panduan dan rujukan anda:\n\n\n9. Cuci Kereta, Bersihkan Bahagian Dalam Kereta\n\n\nSelepas \nroad trip\n, bahagian luar kereta biasanya dipenuhi dengan kekotoran seperti lumpur, debu atau serangga yang melekat pada cermin kereta. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk \ncuci kereta\n setelah tiba di rumah anda \u2013 cuci sendiri kereta atau bawa ke kedai cuci kereta. Selain itu, bahagian dalam kabin kereta biasanya akan kotor atau bersepah selepas \nroad trip\n \u2013 bersihkan bahagian dalam kereta terutamanya sisa atau lebihan makanan yang anda makan sepanjang perjalanan. Sisa makanan yang tidak dibersihkan akan menjemput kehadiran \nlipas\n, semut atau serangga lain. Malah, sisa makanan atau air yang tertumpah juga boleh menyebabkan kereta berbau busuk dan hapak.\n\n\n10. Bawa Kereta ke Bengkel (Jika Perlu)\n\n\nMeskipun kereta anda diselenggara dan diperiksa sebelum perjalanan, ia tidak bermaksud kereta anda tidak terdedah kepada risiko kerosakan. Kereta rosak merupakan situasi luar jangka yang boleh berlaku kepada sesiapa sahaja\u00a0 \u2013 risiko kereta rosak lebih rendah sekiranya anda servis kereta sebelum perjalanan. Sekiranya kereta anda rosak semasa perjalanan, anda disarankan untuk membawa kereta ke bengkel berdekatan untuk pemeriksaan lanjut setelah tiba di lokasi yang ditujui. Ini sebagai langkah berjaga-jaga dan mengenal pasti kerosakan-kerosakan lain yang mungkin berlaku.\n\n\ni. Kereta Rosak Tepi Jalan? Apa yang Perlu Anda Lakukan?\n\n\nSelain itu, bagi anda yang mungkin berdepan situasi kereta rosak tepi jalan, ini merupakan panduan yang boleh anda ikuti:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKawal diri anda untuk kekal tenang dan tidak panik;\n\n\nNyalakan lampu kecemasan atau \nhazard light\n dan pasang segi tiga amaran;\n\n\nJika kerosakan boleh dilakukan sendiri seperti tukar tayar pecah misalnya, baiki dengan segera supaya ia tidak merosakkan mood percutian anda. Anda boleh merujuk panduan \ntukar tayar kereta\n, \ncara\n jumper\n kereta\n dan panduan masalah kerosakan kereta \ndi sini;\n\n\nNamun jika kerosakan ini sesuatu yang tidak boleh dilakukan sendiri, anda disarankan untuk mendapatkan bantuan unit ronda lebuh raya atau hubungi syarikat insurans kereta anda;\n\n\nCatat maklumat penting seperti lokasi (kilometer lebuh raya ada tersedia di bahagian tepi lebuh raya), jenis kerosakan, jenis kenderaan dan nombor plat kenderaan anda untuk rujukan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11. Lakukan Pemeriksaan dan Penyelenggaraan\n\n\nAsasnya, anda mungkin menikmati masa yang berkualiti bersama keluarga sepanjang perjalanan anda. Namun ia mungkin sesuatu yang memenatkan bagi kereta anda. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk menyelenggara dan memeriksa kereta anda setiap kali selepas perjalanan jauh. Dengan cara ini, anda dapat membaiki sebarang kerosakan yang mungkin timbul sepanjang perjalanan selain dapat meningkatkan keselamatan dan keselesaan pemanduan. Selain itu, ia juga dapat menjimatkan kos pembaikan yang lebih mahal sekiranya berlaku kerosakan lain yang lebih serius.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \n15 Perkara Yang Perlu Diberi Perhatian Semasa Servis Kereta Anda\n\n\nMeskipun pemeriksaan dan penyelenggaraan tidak menjamin kereta anda sentiasa berada dalam keadaan baik, ia sekurang-kurangnya boleh membantu mengelakkan anda daripada menghabiskan masa percutian anda di bengkel kereta.

That\u2019s why it\u2019s always a good idea to pay attention to unusual noises from your car be it while driving or stationary. Typical car noises that could signify problems include buzzing, ticking, humming, and other odd noises from the engine or other parts of the car.\u00a0\n\n\nIf these noises are only a one-off occurrence, they might be nothing to worry about but if they persist, they are most likely a sign that something is wrong.\n\n\n\n\nCommon Car Noises & What They Mean\n\n\nKnowing the common problem noises in a car can help you identify what\u2019s wrong and fix it early. By doing so, you\u2019ll be able to prevent the issue from getting worse and avoid racking up higher repair costs. Here are some of the common car noises and the like problems causing them.\n\n\n1. Squealing Noise from the Engine Bay\n\n\nA squealing noise from the engine is usually caused by a loose or worn serpentine belt. This belt powers various parts in the engine including the alternator, water pump, power steering, aircon compressor, and radiator fan. If a faulty serpentine belt can\u2019t power up the alternator, it can\u2019t charge the battery so you wouldn\u2019t have enough power for some functions including starting the engine and powering the lights.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you notice a consistent squealing noise from the engine accompanied by lights or electronics that don\u2019t function as they should, it\u2019s most likely time to get your alternator fixed or replaced.\n\n\n2. Ticking Noise from the Engine Bay\n\n\nIf you hear a ticking noise from the engine, you could have a low \nengine oil\n level or a faulty timing belt. However, if you check your engine oil and see that it\u2019s at a normal level, the source of the noise is most likely the timing belt. The timing belt connects the camshaft to the crankshaft and helps the engine pistons and valves move at exact timings. This ensures proper combustion and allows exhaust gasses to exit the engine.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you notice ticking coming from the engine bay, it\u2019s likely caused by a damaged, loose or worn timing belt that is hitting against the timing belt cover as it spins. Take your car to a workshop for immediate inspection as a damaged timing belt can affect the performance and efficiency of your car. If you leave it unchecked, the timing belt could snap leading to extensive engine damage and a hefty repair bill.\n\n\nRead More: \nCommon Car Issues That Can Catch You by Surprise\n\n\n3. Popping, Hissing, or Ticking Noises from the Exhaust\n\n\nUsually, a faulty \nexhaust\n system can be identified through the sounds it produces. Interestingly, every sound produced by the exhaust system indicates different symptoms and problems faced by your car. Most exhaust problems can be detected while revving the engine so you may need to listen for noises from your car\u2019s exhaust while driving to be sure. Take your car to the workshop if you detect any strange sounds to avoid more serious damage. Here are some common problematic noises associated with a car\u2019s exhaust system.\n\n\n\n\nChugging sound:\n This sound is similar to a steam train chugging along its track. If you notice your exhaust chugging, you could have a clog somewhere in the exhaust.\n\n\nHissing sound:\n There may be a leak in the exhaust system, or a clog in the exhaust could be forcing the fumes to escape out of other orifices.\n\n\nRattling sound:\n The exhaust could be misaligned or there could be loose mounting brackets.\n\n\n\n\n4. Squealing or Grinding Noises When Using the Brakes\n\n\nSquealing or grinding noises usually indicate that one or more of your brake pads are worn down. \nSquealing brakes\n happen when the wear indicator becomes exposed on a thinning brake pad and grinds on the brake rotor, thus producing a screeching noise. If you hear this noise while braking, get your brake pads checked and replaced immediately.\n\n\nRead More: \nHow To Know If Your Brakes Are Failing? Here Are 8 Signs To Look Out For\n\n\n\n\n5. Clicking Sound While Turning\n\n\nIf a clicking sound occurs while turning, especially through sharp turns or while making a U-turn, it may indicate a problem with the CV (constant velocity) joint of your car. The CV joint is an important part of the drive shaft or propeller shaft of your car. It provides flexibility in wheel movement, efficiently transfers power to your car\u2019s wheels, and ensures that they rotate at a consistent speed.\n\n\nIf this component is worn or damaged, it could leak oil, which will then affect the smoothness of the axle\u2019s movement. If you notice this noise, get your CV joint checked immediately as you could end up with a much higher repair bill if you need to replace the entire car axle.\n\n\n6. Thudding or Thumping Noises from the Car Tires\n\n\nYour tires can produce a thumping or thudding noise when they have uneven surfaces. This can be caused by low air pressure in the tires or uneven wear. If this situation occurs, first check your car\u2019s tire pressure and ensure it\u2019s at the level recommended by the manufacturer. However, if the noise persists even after inflating the tires, you should check your tires for irregular surfaces such as bumps or bald spots.\u00a0\n\n\nUneven wear on your tires is mostly caused by poor \nwheel alignment\n. In the long run, this could result in reduced comfort on the road, higher fuel consumption, as well as increased wear and tear on the tires and suspension components.\n\n\nRead More: \nUpsizing Your Car\u2019s Tires: Is Bigger Always Better?\n\n\n7. Clunking Noise While Driving\n\n\nIf your car makes a clunking noise when it goes over bumps, you could have damaged or \nworn-out shock absorbers\n. Check your car immediately if you detect a clunking noise while driving because if not fixed immediately, it can affect the car\u2019s suspension, steering, and braking systems. In addition to the noise, you can also detect signs of shock absorber damage with the following signs:\n\n\n\n\nExcessive steering vibration while driving.\n\n\nExcessive body roll when going through corners.\n\n\nThe car bounces while driving, especially on uneven roads and bumps.\n\n\nUneven tire wear.\n\n\nFluid leaking from the shock absorbers.\n\n\nExcessive nose dive when braking and bouncing at the rear when accelerating.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. Buzzing or Humming Noise from the Bottom of the Car\n\n\nIf you notice a buzzing or humming noise from your car, it may indicate several different component problems. If you detect this noise, pay full attention to allow you to help the mechanic diagnose your car problem better. Buzzing in a car is usually caused by a lack of lubricants, transmission system damage, or worn wheel bearings, so it can be hard to determine the exact cause. However, if you hear a humming noise from your car\u2019s wheels when accelerating, you most likely have worn wheel bearings.\n\n\nWhat you can do is pay full attention before, during, and after you hear this sound. Take note of what it sounds like, where it\u2019s coming from, and when during your drive it occurs. Share as much information as possible with your mechanic to allow for a thorough and detailed inspection.\n\n\n9. Scratching Noise from the Car Wipers\n\n\nIf your windshield wipers produce scratching or scraping noises when you use them, it\u2019s a definite sign to replace your wipers. Scratching noises from the wipers mean that the \nwiper blade\n has worn out or is damaged, causing the metal frame to scrape against the windshield.\n\n\nAlthough the quality, durability, and lifespan of your wipers depend on the type and material, most wipers generally last from six months to a year before deteriorating. Therefore, it\u2019s important to observe the condition of your wiper blades and replace them on time. A damaged or worn car wiper will not only scratch and damage your windshield but is unable to keep your windshield clear in the rain. This reduces visibility and ultimately endangers your life.\n\n\nChoose CARSOME for Peace of Mind\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a quality pre-owned car without the odd noises, check out our inventory on \nCARSOME\n.

With the lack of knowledge that is required when the process happens, and the uncertainty of value that comes with the disconnect between dealers and sellers, how can a consumer improve the situation? We are here to help. Read on as we list a few points that could better equip you when the need arises.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nKnowing Your Car and Overall Value\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The most important thing that is needed to begin the car-selling process is knowing what car you are driving in detail. The point of \u2018in-detail\u2019 refers to your car model, model variant, model features, transmission, powertrain figures, service schedule, colour, age, modifications, replacements and more. Contrary to popular belief, quite a number of sellers lack such basic knowledge when asked by third parties. By knowing what model variant you drive, you would also be able to find out the estimated value of your vehicle just by doing a little research and making a few phone calls.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nService Records\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: \nThe Nrma\n\n\n\n\n\n    Most car makers today provide a factory warranty of about 5 years on a new car. Depending on the manufacture, some provide free labour depending on the service interval. Servicing your vehicle at the manufacturers authorised service centres and at recommended intervals and mileage are also key. This ensures that your vehicle warranty remains intact should there be an issue with your vehicle within the warranty period. Whether you sell your vehicle within warranty or after, the service records are a good indication to the next buyer that your car has been serviced following the maintenance schedule.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nCleaning and Upkeep\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit:\n HireRush.com\n\n\n\n\n\n    Whether you are selling to a private buyer, dealer or trading it off, having a clean and upkept car both inside and out will provide a more than pleasant experience for the parties involved. While some say it doesn\u2019t have any effect on the actual value of the car mechanically, we beg to differ. Differences are stark when comparing a car that has been cleaned and up kept with car care products versus one that isn\u2019t.\n\n\n\n\n    Note: Should you decide to go the extra mile in getting the best price for your vehicle, putting in the effort to repaint your vehicle, change new tyres, spark plugs, battery and more, could get you extra brownie points for your sale. While you\u2019ll definitely fetch a better price, it usually is calculated in the final sale.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nInsurance Refund and No-Claims Discount\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: \nConfused.com\n\n\n\n\n\n    It is important to remember to cancel your insurance premium the moment you sell your car. This will allow you to enjoy better returns on your policy. If you are getting a new car, remember to get an endorsement letter from your insurance company on the No-Claims Discount entitlement that you currently have. This will allow you to transfer the accumulated NCD you have on the next vehicle.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nSettling your Hire Purchase Loan\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: \nAccounting Plus of Wayne, Nebraska\n\n\n\n\n\n    Selling your car is easy when the vehicle is fully owned by you. But when you are still servicing your loan, and are interested to sell your car, do you know that it can be settled by the next interested owner? To make full payment, going to any bank branch is possible. Ensure that the next party settles the payments. If you are advertising your vehicle via classifieds, you could secure the prospective buyers interest by requesting for a non-refundable deposit irrespective of loan approval.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nHow can you prevent these mistakes?

Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW Group)\n\n\n\n\nBMW is a German automaker that started out as a producer of airplane engines in 1916. Now, it owns three brands producing vehicles from entry-level luxury with MINI to super luxury vehicles with Rolls-Royce. Popular cars in Malaysia under this group include the\n BMW 3 Series\n, 5 Series, and \nMINI Countryman\n. Here are the car brands in the BMW Group:\n\n\n\n\nBMW\n\n\nMINI\n\n\nRolls-Royce\n\n\n\n\n2. Daimler AG\n\n\n\n\nDaimler AG is another German Automaker responsible for the luxury German car brand, Mercedes-Benz. It was formerly named Daimler-Benz and Daimler-Chrysler before settling on Daimler. Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler invented the automobile independently of each other in 1886.\u00a0\n\n\nBenz started Benz & Co. in 1883 which later became Benz & Cie in 1899, while Daimler founded Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (DMG) in 1890. In 1926, these two companies merged to form the Daimler-Benz Corporation and the rest was history. Daimler also owns Smart, a brand producing compact EVs (electric vehicles). Popular cars under the brand include the \nMercedes-Benz A180\n and C200. Brands in the Daimler AG portfolio include:\n\n\n\n\nMercedes-Benz\n\n\nSmart\n\n\n\n\n3. Ford Motor Company\n\n\n\n\nFord was founded by Henry Ford on 16 June 1903 as an American automobile company. It\u2019s one of the largest and most profitable companies globally. With the Ford family still having a majority voting power in the company, it\u2019s also one of the largest family-controlled companies in the world. Besides Lincoln, Ford\u2019s luxury vehicle division, the company also owns Troller, a Brazilian car brand that produces off-road vehicles. Popular models under this American car brand now include the \nFord Fiesta\n, \nRanger\n, and Mustang. Brands in its portfolio include:\n\n\n\n\nFord\n\n\nLincoln Motor Company\n\n\nTroller\n\n\n\n\n4. General Motors\n\n\n\n\nGeneral Motors or GM is one of the largest American automakers. In fact, it was the largest automaker in the world for 77 years before Toyota took the top spot in 2008. All names under GM are American car brands that we don\u2019t really see in Malaysia other than Chevrolet.

A new car depreciates about 10% the moment you hit the gas pedal and another 20% of the value is gone within the first year. Even worse, 3 years down the road, the car is now worth only 60% of what you paid in the beginning. A less depressing alternative that would definitely not leave a huge debt over your head is buying a used car instead.\n\n\n\n\nBuying a used car is a smart financial move since it is way cheaper than a new one and you might be lucky enough to find your dream car with lower mileage calculation and in a perfect condition at a steal.\n\n\nBut before you strut down to your nearest used car dealer, here are some things that you need to consider before you take the road less traveled.\n\n\n\n\n \u00a0 \n \nDetermine Your Financial Budget\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBefore anything, you should determine how much you are willing to spend on the car. You should take into consideration your other financial commitments, your daily usage, monthly savings, and the emergency stash. Apart from these, you should also look out for ownership cost, not just the price of the car. Once you are sure that you would be able to cover the maintenance fee in the long run (as most used cars would have run out of its warranty period) and would still be able to provide for yourself, you are now ready for the next step.\n\n\n\n\n \u00a0 \n \nDefine What You Want\n\n\n\n\nWhen you choose a car, do you know exactly what you want from a car? Are you looking for a Sedan, a Hatchback or an MPV? How many people should be able to sit in it comfortably? What should the mileage be?What type of engine are you looking for? Do you have a specific colour you want your car to be in?\u00a0 What are some features of a car that you cannot live without? You should also research the brand, the model, and the price range of the car that you have in mind before you walk into a used-car dealership. Do ensure to know exactly what you want so that you are not lost when you are presented with a multitude of choices.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n \u00a0 \nTest Drive the Used Car\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is perhaps the most important part of before you buy a car. Spending some time behind the wheels will help you determine if you really like the car. Make sure to drive it adequately, not just around the parking lot but also out on the road. Drive it on the highway to test the speed, drive it on different road terrains to check out its durability. Other than that, you should also test all the accessories on the car. If something is not functioning, you would want to factor in the price of it as well which is why test driving the car is one of the most crucial steps in buying a used car.\n\n\n\n\n \u00a0 \n \nReview the Car\u2019s History Report\n\n\n\n\nIf you are planning to buy the used car from a close friend or family who can vouch for its history, you can totally skip this step. But if you are buying it from a dealer, make sure to ask for the car\u2019s history report.\u00a0 This report would provide you vital information like the amount of accidents it has been in and how severe it was, if the odometer has been rolled back or even if the car has been declared total loss by the insurance company. At Carsome, you are able to find this report online when you are finalizing the car deal.\n\n\n\n\n \u00a0 \n \nGet the Car Inspected\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHaving the car inspected by a trustworthy mechanic definitely needs to be part of the buying process to give you a peace of mind on the car that you are getting. You might be able to give the car an external evaluation but that is not enough. A mechanic will be able to get under the car (like literally) and run some extensive tests. We at Carsome ensure that all cars go through 175 inspection points before they are put on sale. Whatever defects will be available in the car\u2019s history report.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n \u00a0 \n \nTime = Money\n\n\n\n\nIf you need a car right now, one way to go is to check out Carsome\u2019s experience center. Think retail stores, but for cars. Once you have picked out your car and are done with the test drive, here comes the hassle-free part. You can either choose to pick out your car at our experience center or get it delivered to your doorstep (only Klang Valley area for now!). We take things to a whole new level with our 5 days money back guarantee feature. If you are not satisfied with your car within 5 days, you will be refunded the total amount in 24-hours (terms and conditions applied).\n\n\nThere are a lot of things to consider as you go about buying a used car, but it surely is a wise decision to make. As said before, a used car is an affordable vehicle that can provide you the transportation means you need to move from point A to point B. It might not be new but since it is affordable and the condition of the car is also great, you will be leaving with both a new used car and a peace of mind of not having a huge debt over your head. So before you decide on buying a car, do check out Carsome for a huge range of quality assured used cars and hassle free services.

Vehicles will be charged when they go through a barrier at the edge of a city, or as they progress through zones inside a city.\n\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re wondering how toll collection is different from congestion charging, here\u2019s your answer. Toll collection is meant to fund the cost of road upkeep and management, as well as to construct new facilities for the road. Meanwhile, congestion charge ultimately aims to reduce traffic congestion and promote the use of public transport.\n\n\nRead more: \nToll Rates in Malaysia for Popular Highways from PLUS to LPT\n\n\nHow Does the Congestion Charge Work?\n\n\nWith congestion charge in effect, a private vehicle owner will be charged when entering a designated area during a specified period, usually for peak hours. The charge imposed can fluctuate like Singapore\u2019s Electronic Road Pricing system \u2013 it could be raised or lowered according to traffic levels on the road, or it could be a pay per day charge with unlimited entry per day as practiced in London.\n\n\nPublic transportation vehicles and public institution vehicles such as ambulances or fire engines are exempt from paying the congestion charge. In London, residents living in the Congested Charge zone qualify for a 90 percent discount. While private vehicles owned by the disabled as well as electric and plug-in hybrid cars qualify for a 100 percent discount.\n\n\nCongestion charging is not a new system, it has been implemented in various cities around the world such as Singapore, London, Stockholm and many others. Let\u2019s take a look at how Singapore successfully adopted congestion charging in their effort to manage traffic jams.\n\n\nThe Area Licensing Scheme & Electronic Road Pricing: Singapore\u2019s Answer to Congestion\n\n\nIn order to reduce the heavy traffic congestion in the Central Business District (CBD) back in 1975, Singapore initially introduced the Area Licensing Scheme (ALS) as an effort to manage traffic in the area.\n\n\nWith this scheme, the CBD was designated into a Restricted Zone (RZ) during peak hours and all vehicles traveling inside the area during this period are required to purchase and display a special area license that costs S$3 (RM9.46) per day or S$60 (RM189.20) per month.\n\n\nAfter the successful implementation of ALS, the scheme was updated to the Electronic Road Pricing system (ERP) in 1998. With the new system implementation, road users will be automatically charged through an In-Vehicle Unit (IVU) when they pass through ERP gantries during their operational hours.\n\n\n\n\nThe ERP charge ranges from S$0.50 (RM1.58) to S$3 (RM9.48), and it changes according to the time of day and the location you\u2019re currently traveling within. Higher rates will be applied during peak hours \u2013 between S$0.50 to S$3 from 7am to 10am and 5.30pm to 7pm. While no charge will be incurred during non-peak hours \u2013 from 10am to 5pm and 7pm to 10:30pm.\n\n\nBased on \nthis report\n, with the implementation of the ALS system, Singapore was able to lower their traffic congestion by 45% and when the ERP system was introduced, they managed to bring their traffic congestion level down by another 15%. This proves that congestion charge does work to combat traffic congestion, provided with a complete infrastructure to support it and a high level of compliance from the public.\n\n\nWith this, we hope we\u2019ve answered some, if not all of the questions you have regarding congestion charge. If the implementation of congestion charge truly is the only feasible way to manage and reduce traffic congestion in the future, let\u2019s hope it happens with all the right infrastructures prepared.\n\n", "Haziq Asyraf\nA self-proclaimed foodie and gamer whose passion for food and games has recently extended to cars.", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

What\u2019s not to love about electric vehicles? They\u2019re better for the environment, they\u2019re cheaper to operate, and they\u2019re just plain cool. Automakers are all putting their chips in \u200celectric vehicle technology, and it\u2019s only a matter of time before EVs are the dominant force in the automotive market. The \nInternational Energy Agency (IEA)\n predicts that by 2030, 60% of the vehicles sold globally will be electric, and demand for built-in home chargers will surge drastically.\u00a0\n\n\nAs of to date, EVs are still in their infancy stage with only a handful of models available in the Malaysian market. The high cost of entry is still a turnoff for a lot of consumers, but as battery technology continues to improve and costs continue to fall, it\u2019s only a matter of time before EVs are the new normal. If you\u2019re looking to make the jump from an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle to an EV, this short and simple guide will help you crunch some numbers on the ownership of one.\u00a0\n\n\nInitial Cost\n\n\nThe hefty initial cost of EVs currently brands itself as toys for the rich. Nonetheless, to encourage more people to buy EVs in Malaysia, the government has extended the exemption of import duties on CBU electric vehicles till 2024 and is offering a rebate of up to RM30,000 for locally assembled EVs. However, even the cheapest EV offered in the market, the 2022 Ora Good Cat costs under RM140K. In contrast, there is a myriad of other petrol-powered cars on the market to choose from, with some economy cars going for much less than that. But what about the road tax? Are EVs subjected to road taxes even if they don\u2019t run on a single drop of oil?\n\n\nHow is Road Tax Calculated for EVs\n\n\nIs road tax for EVs cheaper than ICE cars in Malaysia? As we all know, road taxes for ICE cars are calculated using \ncubic centimeters (CC)\n. For EVs, on the other hand, it is calculated by \nkilowatt (kW) output\n. Here\u2019s a table we compiled from JPJ\u2019s data.\n\n\nFor \ncompany and privately owned saloons (sedans)\n with a power output of 80 kW and below:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMotor Output\n\n\nRates\n\n\n\n\n\n\n50 kW and below\n\n\nRM 20\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbove 50 kW to 60 kW\n\n\nRM 44\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbove 60 kW to 70 kW\n\n\nRM 56\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbove 70 kW to 80 kW\n\n\nRM 72\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s quite simple for cars with under \u200c80 kW of output. However, for higher-powered cars above 80 kW, a base rate and a progressive rate of 0.05 kW from the base output are imposed into the road tax\u2019s calculations:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOutput\n\n\nBase Rate\n\n\nProgressive Rate\n\n\n\n\n\n\n80 \u2013 90 kW\n\n\nRM 160\n\n\nRM 0.32 for every 0.05 kW increase from 80 kW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n90 \u2013 100 kW\n\n\nRM 224\n\n\nRM 0.25 for every 0.05 kW increase from 90 kW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n100 \u2013 125 kW\n\n\nRM 274\n\n\nRM 0.50 for every 0.05 kW increase from 100 kW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n125 \u2013 150 kW\n\n\nRM 524\n\n\nRM1.00 for every 0.05 kW increase from 125 kW\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbove 150 kW\n\n\nRM 1024\n\n\nRM1,024, and RM1.35 for every 0.05 kW increase from 150 kW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou can read more from Carput \nhere\n and from paultan.org \nhere\n for a more in-depth look at how it works.\u00a0\n\n\nRecharging\n\n\nRefueling and \nrecharging\n are other concerns for ICE cars and EVs. Petrol cars refuel in just a few minutes, while EVs may take around 20 minutes to reach full charge with a DC (direct current) fast charger. In addition, unlike ICE cars, EV batteries need meticulous care, as we\u2019ll explain below. But first, it is important to understand the types of EV chargers out there.\n\n\nRead More: \nHow to Charge Your EV in Malaysia\n\n\nAlternating Current Charging (AC)\u00a0\n\n\nAC charging is the most common type of charging for EVs and is often referred to as \nLevel 1 or Level 2 charging\n. Level 1 charging can be done via a standard household electrical outlet in your home and would take around 8 to 20 hours to reach a full charge depending on your vehicle\u2019s battery size. Level 2 charging, on the other hand, uses a dedicated 240-volt outlet and can take anywhere from four to eight hours to reach a full charge. \u200cAC charging may be a convenient choice; however, the limitations of an AC charger would require the installation of a dedicated charging outlet at home.\u00a0\n\n\nAccording to \nCarput\n, installing such a device would cost around RM3,000 \u2013 RM5,000 for a 7kW and RM5,000 \u2013 RM7,900 for a 22kW one excluding the labor costs to install and the renovations required to upgrade from a single-phase to a \nthree-phase wiring system\n if your house does not have the necessary infrastructure.\u00a0\n\n\nFurthermore, a dedicated charging outlet can only be installed in a landed house. This option is \nnot available\n if you\u2019re staying in an apartment in Malaysia, as the decision to install an EV charger is up to the apartment developer or management body. AC charging may be slow, but it\u2019s the best way to preserve the lifespan of your battery, unlike DC charging.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDirect Current Charging (DC)\n\n\nDC charging is a faster and more powerful alternative that can fully charge an EV in as little as 30 minutes. This type of charging is often referred to as Level 3 or fast charging as it uses direct current to charge the battery. These types of chargers are not commercially available to be installed in homes; rather, they can be found at dedicated public charging stations.\n\n\nDC charging stations\n are an ideal option for long-distance travel or for those needing a quick charge on the go. The downside of DC charging, however, is that relying too much on it can hurt the lifespan of your EV\u2019s battery, which is the costliest part to replace out of the whole car, which we will get to later.\u00a0\n\n\nHere\u2019s a quick and simple comparison of the current recharging rates for EVs and RON95 prices.\n\n\n\n\nRON95 \u2013\u00a0 RM2.05 per liter\n\n\nElectric \u2013 60 sen per kilowatt\n\n\n\n\nAs of to date, a handful of charging stations have been built around the Klang Valley area. If pay-per-use is too much of a hassle, companies like ChargeNow offer subscription packages at RM240 a year. Even Shell has \u200ca subscription model for their own charging stations. If \nRM835\n for a yearly subscription sounds too much for you, you can opt for a pay-as-you-go option with RM4 to unlock the charging bay and a rate of RM20 for every five minutes of charge. Petronas\u2019 Gentari fast chargers offer a rate of RM2.20 per minute and ChargeNow, exclusive to BMW owners, offers an RM240 annual subscription.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTires & Maintenance\n\n\nWhat about tires? Did you know that you can\u2019t just use the same tires used in ICE cars? EV tires are specially designed to be stiffer, heavier, and have more contact on the road. They also run quieter than regular tires. These do not come cheap. EVs typically run on 19 \u2013 21 inch tires. With such a large diameter and specialized compound, you\u2019ll spend around \nRM10,000 \nto replace the tires on a Kia EV6! As of to date, the only way to get original OEM tires for EVs is via the dealership you bought your vehicle from and they cost a pretty penny. Be careful of driving near construction sites!\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nHybrid Cars Might Be the Only Way Petrol Engines Can Survive in the Future\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRepairs & Servicing\u00a0\n\n\nIf an EV breaks down, do you go to an electrician or a mechanic? As of now, EVs require almost \nzero maintenance\n on the motor itself. A conventional ICE car has hundreds of parts that must work together, while an electric motor typically has less than 20. The fewer moving parts involved, the easier the \nmaintenance\n is. EVs don\u2019t require oil changes, spark plugs, or timing belts, which can save money and time.\n\n\nThe only wear and tear aspects of an EV would be the brake pads, tires, and eventually, the battery. Brake parts are only required to be changed once every five years and the tires need to be rotated once in a while to ensure proper alignment. The Achilles heel of all EV owners is battery replacement, which is also the most expensive part of the whole EV production. However, with an estimated lifespan of \n10 years or 160,000km\n before battery degradation sets in, how much can you expect to fork out for a replacement?\u00a0\n\n\nLet\u2019s take the Tesla Model S, for example. Owners in North America have reported that without a warranty, a full battery replacement can cost around USD 20,000 (RM 87,101.27)! This article by \nDSF\n goes into more detail about repairing and maintaining a Tesla if you have bought a reconditioned model in Malaysia.

Now, it\u2019s arguably the most popular vehicle type as more and more drivers prefer the taller driving position and commanding road view that an \nSUV\n provides.\n\n\nWith more of these vehicles coming into the market, you now have terms like crossovers or CUVs (crossover utility vehicles). In the debate of crossover versus SUV, some would argue that the \nHonda HR-V\n is not an SUV, but a crossover as it\u2019s built on a regular tarmac-biased passenger car platform, and only a ladder frame vehicle like the Toyota Fortuner can be called an SUV. But does it matter? Since 90 percent of SUVs today are based on passenger cars, we may need to reconsider what an SUV is.\n\n\n\n\nHere\u2019s What Honda Has to Say about Crossovers vs SUVs\n\n\nTo find out the difference between a crossover and an \nSUV\n, our friends at WapCar spoke to Yoshitomo Ihashi, Large Project Leader of the 2022-generation Honda HR-V. He said around 10 years ago, the body style of a vehicle closely resembles its category, be it an SUV or a minivan. Now, it\u2019s getting mixed so SUVs started being called crossovers.\n\n\nHe also said that people would start referring to a high-rider vehicle with sporty styling as a crossover. However, Honda and its development team view the Honda HR-V as a compact SUV, as the concept of the vehicle is to provide the value and practicality of a compact SUV.\n\n\n\n\nThe key design element of the HR-V is its sloping, coupe-like side profile with hidden rear door handles and a fastback-style low roofline. This, combined with its passenger car-based, front-wheel drive platform would logically put it in the crossover category but that\u2019s not what it\u2019s called by its creators.\n\n\nIn other words, there is no strict definition of a crossover as it doesn\u2019t actually exist in the automotive industry. In fact, you can use it interchangeably with the term SUV to refer to any high ground clearance, urban-biased passenger vehicle.\n\n\nThe Origin of the SUV\n\n\nTo learn what an SUV is, we need to look at when the term SUV was coined in the late \u201880s by marketers at Jeep, the American automaker. Here\u2019s how the term SUV became popular.\n\n\n1980\u2019s\n\n\n\n\nJeep introduced the Jeep Cherokee as an SUV to differentiate it from the rugged 4\u00d74 Jeep Wrangler truck. However, the term didn\u2019t really catch on.\n\n\n\n\n1990\u2019s\n\n\n\n\nFord\n adopted the term for its new Ford Explorer SUV to differentiate it from the off-road-biased Ford Bronco. The Explorer was a success and the term SUV surged in popularity since then.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Ford Explorer is what made SUVs popular in the 1990\u2019s\n\n\nSimilar to when SUV was coined to differentiate softer, more comfortable trucks from their off-road cousins, the term crossover was created to refer to ever-softer, smaller SUVs.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you think the usage of the terms crossovers and SUVs is confusing, it turns out that automakers\u2019 marketing teams in different parts of the world are free to use the terms that suit their local market better, just like the examples in this list.\n\n\n\n\nThe Honda Passport\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVehicle\n\n\nMarketing Terms Used\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFifth-Generation \nHonda CR-V\n\n\nUSA: Crossover\u00a0\n\n\nJapan: SUV\n\n\nThis generation CR-V was called a crossover in the USA to differentiate it from the more rugged Honda Passport.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSixth-Generation Honda CR-V\n\n\nUSA: SUV\n\n\nJapan: SUV\n\n\nFor the sixth generation 2023 CR-V, Honda USA decided to stick with the SUV category.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMazda CX-5\n\n\nUSA: Crossover SUV\n\n\nUK: SUV\n\n\n\n\n\n\nToyota Fortuner\n\n\nMalaysia: SUV\n\n\nThailand: PPV (pick-up passenger vehicle)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHonda HR-V\n\n\nUSA: Crossover SUV\n\n\nMalaysia: Compact SUV\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBMW X-Series\n\n\nWorldwide: SAV (sports activity vehicle)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBesides these more \u201cconventional\u201d SUV terms, you also have categories like SUV-coupes for vehicles like the \nMercedes-Benz\n GLC Coupe, and SUV-convertibles for models like the \nVolkswagen\n T-Roc Cabriolet.\n\n\n\n\nVolkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet\n\n\nDo They Matter Anymore?\n\n\nBuyers used to shop for cars according to segments but that\u2019s no longer the case. And manufacturers have also largely stopped marketing their products according to segments, especially in the \nSUV and Crossover category\n.\n\n\nThe easiest example for this is the Honda HR-V and \nToyota Corolla Cross\n. The HR-V is built on the same B-segment platform as the \nHonda City\n and City Hatchback, yet many SUV buyers in Malaysia compare it with the Corolla Cross, which is built on Toyota\u2019s C-segment platform. Buyers these days look at whether a vehicle can fit their lifestyle, its features, and its price. Ultimately, vehicle categories are largely just marketing terms and it\u2019s up to you to decide what you want.\n\n\nThis article was originally published on wapcar.my and has been adapted by CARSOME.\n\n", "Devan S\nDevan believes written content is here to stay despite our depleting attention span and the rise of short videos.

Ini antara sebab kenapa semakin ramai pemandu mula mencari dashcam yang terbaik untuk kereta mereka.\n\n\nSebuah dashcam mungkin tidak akan menyelamatkan kereta anda daripada kemalangan tetapi sekurang-kurangnya ia boleh merekod apa yang terjadi untuk menjamin keselamatan anda, membuktikan yang anda tidak bersalah, dan ia mungkin boleh menyelamatkan kewangan anda juga.\n\n\nBerikut merupakan empat jenama dashcam yang terbaik di Malaysia dan cara untuk anda memilih dashcam yang sesuai untuk kereta anda.\n\n\n1. \n70Mai\n (RM175-RM619)\u00a0\n\n\nDengan pelbagai ciri menarik, paparan yang jelas dan harga yang berpatutan menjadikan 70Mai sebagai jenama paling popular bagi dashcam di Malaysia. Ia menawarkan pelbagai jenis dashcam daripada untuk model pemula sehinggalah ke model premium dengan resolusi 4K dan sistem bantuan pemandu, jenama ini dah cukup untuk memenuhi keperluan anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n70mai Dashcam Pro Plus+ A500S Car Recorder\n\n\nAntara model yang paling laris, \n70mai Dashcam Pro Plus+ A500S Car Recorder\n yang mempunyai sistem GPS terbina dalam, \nAdvanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS)\n dan juga paparan resolusi super tinggi 1944p, semuanya dengan harga serendah RM309!\u00a0\n\n\n2. \nDDPai\n (RM149-RM1799)\u00a0\n\n\nSebuah jenama dashcam mewah yang memfokuskan kepada rekaan yang bergaya untuk serasi dengan kereta anda dan kualiti visual yang tiada tandingan, dashcam DDPai mempunyai kualiti visual yang tiada tandingan dan merupakan peralatan mengagumkan yang semua kereta wajib ada.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDDPai Z40 1944 Dash Cam\n\n\nPada harga cuma RM249, \nDDPai Z40 1944 Dash Cam\n merupakan model yang paling banyak dicari dengan semua ciri asas seperti resolusi definisi tinggi penuh 1944p, monitor IPS, dan fungsi rakaman tanpa henti. Kalau anda sedang mencari ciri tambahan seperti GPS terbina dalam dan Sense Reality Function, anda kenalah berbelanja lebih sedikit untuk model yang lebih canggih \u2013 \nDDPai X2S Pro Dashcam\n.\n\n\n\n\nDDPai X2S Pro Dashcam\n\n\n3. \nGOQ\n \n(RM75-RM288)\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk mereka yang sedang berjimat, dashcam jenama GOQ menawarkan semua ciri wajib dalam model yang tak terlalu mahal tanpa menurunkan kualiti. Harga yang berpatutan ini menyebabkan anda terpaksa melupakan ciri canggih seperti GPS terbina dalam dan rakaman waktu malam.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nGOQ D90 3-Way Record Camera Dashcam\n\n\nGOQ D90 3-Way Record Camera Dashcam\n merupakan model yang paling berjaya dan ia dilengkapi dengan lensa depan sudut luas 170 darjah, kamera depan resolusi 720p, dan G-Sensor yang membolehkan dashcam mula merakam secara automatik apabila ia mengesan perlanggaran. Pada harga RM89, ia jenama yang sangat dicari mereka yang mempunyai bajet yang ketat tetapi mahukan dashcam yang berkualiti.\u00a0\n\n\n4. \nVIOFIO\n \n(RM404-RM1719)\u00a0\n\n\nDaripada kamera aksi kepada dashcam, VIOFO ingin mencipta produk yang premium, mudah digunakan, dan berguna untuk kegunaan ramai. Kekal dengan imej jenama mereka, mereka menawarkan dashcam kelas pertengahan hinggalah kelas premium dengan rekaan yang kemas dan sistem yang berinovasi, sesuai untuk kegunaan harian anda.\n\n\n\n\nV\nIOFO A129 Pro Duo 4K Dual Dash Cam\n\n\nModel VIOFIO yang terbaik sekali, \nV\nIOFO A129 Pro Duo 4K Dual Dash Cam\n berharga RM936 tetapi apa yang anda akan dapat ialah kamera depan dengan resolusi berdefinisi Ultra Tinggi 4K, sensor imej Sony Exmor R Starvis berserta dengan sambungan Wi-Fi menggunakan aplikasi VIOFO yang membolehkan anda memuat turun rakaman terus ke telefon anda untuk dikongsi atau disunting.\u00a0\n\n\nCara Memilih Dashcam\n\u00a0\n\n\nKualiti Imej\n\n\nSekalipun anda ada rakaman sesuatu kemalangan daripada dashcam terbaik di Malaysia, ianya tidak berguna jika imej rakaman tersebut kabur dan anda tidak boleh melihat nombor pendaftaran kereta yang terlibat.\u00a0\n\n\nInilah sebabnya mengapa anda perlu memilih dashcam dengan resolusi sekurang-kurangnya 720p untuk memastikan anda mendapat imej yang jelas. Kalau anda ada bajet lebih, dashcam dengan resolusi 2K atau 4K akan memberikan anda imej yang lebih jelas yang boleh membantu anda menang andai kata berlaku perang mulut selepas kemalangan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTambahan lagi, dashcam dengan resolusi tinggi memerlukan ruang simpanan yang lebih besar untuk menyimpan video anda. Jadi, jangan kedekut dengan kad memori. Rakaman satu minit dalam 4K memerlukan saiz memori kira-kira 450MB, jadi sangat disarankan untuk anda mendapatkan kad memori dengan saiz simpanan 128GB. Lagipun anda tak mahu kehilangan rakaman berharga di saat ia diperlukan.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nPilihan Lekapan\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk melekapkan dashcam anda, ada tiga cara yang boleh digunakan, bergantung kepada pilihan lekapan yang datang dengan dashcam anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPelekat\u00a0\n\n\nLekapan yang paling biasa adalah menggunakan pelekat, biasanya pelekat dua sisi diletakkan pada permukaan dashcam dan pada cermin depan. Kaedah lekapan ini adalah\u00a0 yang paling kuat dan paling tahan lama tetapi kalau nak lekatkannya anda kena pastikan untuk melekatkannya dengan betul.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nMelekapkan pada sudut yang betul menggunakan pelekat agak susah dan anda juga boleh mengotorkan cermin depan anda jika pelekat terpaksa dipasang banyak kali. Tapi jika anda buat dengan betul, dashcam anda tidak akan kelihatan ketara tidak seperti menggunakan kaedah lain.\u00a0\n\n\nCawan Sedut (Suction Cup)\u00a0\n\n\nCara kedua untuk melekapkan dashcam anda adalah dengan menggunakan tapak yang disambungkan kepada cawan sedut (suction cup) yang dilekapkan pada cermin depan. Cawan sedut sangat fleksibel untuk digunakan dan anda boleh laraskan ia untuk mendapatkan sudut rakaman yang betul.\u00a0\n\n\nWalau bagaimanapun, lekapan ini tidak tahan lama dan ia memerlukan ruang yang banyak pada bahagian cermin depan. Lama-kelamaan, kekuatannya akan berkurangan dan sambungan yang memegang dashcam akan jadi makin longgar menyebabkan dashcam anda jatuh terkulai jika tidak dipasang dengan betul.\u00a0\n\n\nDisambungkan Pada Cermin Pandang Belakang.\u00a0\n\n\nCara ketiga yang anda boleh gunakan untuk melekapkan dashcam adalah menggunakan pendakap untuk memasang dashcam anda pada cermin pandang belakang. Melekapkan dashcam anda menggunakan kaedah ini sangat senang dan ia tidak akan nampak ketara kerana bersambung dengan cermin pandang belakang anda.\u00a0\n\n\nTetapi kelemahan yang paling besar adalah sudut pandangan dashcam anda akan terhad kepada sudut cermin pandang belakang. Dengan cara ini, anda tak boleh mendapatkan rakaman dengan betul apa yang terjadi di hadapan anda. Cara ini paling sesuai digunakan untuk dashcam yang mempunyai sudut rakaman yang luas.\u00a0\n\n\nMod Parkir (Parking Mode)\n\n\nSesetengah dashcam mempunyai Mod Parkir (Parking Mode) yang membolehkan dashcam merakam secara automatik apabila ada pergerakan dikesan ketika kereta diparkir dan enjin dimatikan. Ia bertindak seperti kamera pengawasan yang menggunakan G-sensor atau pengesan pergerakan untuk memulakan rakaman.\u00a0\n\n\nKelemahan ciri ini adalah ia boleh menyebabkan dashcam menggunakan kuasa bateri secara kerap. Untuk mengelakkan bateri kereta cepat habis semasa menggunakan fungsi ini, anda boleh buat sambungan terus kepada kotak fius kereta anda dengan menggunakan bateri luaran untuk menghidupkan dashcam anda.\u00a0\n\n\nKetersambungan (Connectivity)\u00a0\n\n\nAntara ciri yang patut anda lihat semasa memilih dashcam adalah pilihan ketersambungan (connectivity). Kebanyakan dashcam memerlukan anda untuk mendapatkan rakaman menggunakan kad memori sahaja, manakala ada dashcam yang tersedia dengan sambungan bluetooth atau Wi-Fi terbina dalam untuk memudahkan anda mengambil rakaman.\u00a0\n\n\nApa yang anda perlu buat cumalah sambungkan telefon anda kepada dashcam menerusi aplikasi (bergantung kepada jenama) dan anda boleh melihat dan menguruskan video dalam masa sebenar. Walaupun dashcam dengan fungsi sebegini biasanya mahal, tetapi anda boleh mengakses rakaman dengan cepat, yang sangat-sangat berguna ketika kecemasan.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda memasang dashcam yang paling canggih sekalipun, ia tetap tidak boleh menghalang kemalangan daripada berlaku. Ingatlah untuk sentiasa memandu dengan berhati-hati. Patuhi had laju, gunakan lampu isyarat dan fokus ke atas jalan ketika memandu.\u00a0\n\n\nDengan ini, kami berharap anda boleh mendapatkan dashcam terbaik di Malaysia dengan ciri yang bersesuaian dengan keperluan anda.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nTerlibat dalam Kemalangan?

Rather, it is a state of mind. You, the driver, must always consciously think about minimizing the risks of the road every time you get behind the wheel. Defensive driving is closely related to safe driving.\n\n\nA defensive driver does not just concentrate on his or her driving. Rather, he or she will anticipate what other drivers are doing. Coupled with awareness of the surroundings, chances of an accident happening are greatly reduced. Defensive driving can even save on fuel costs by driving smoothly and steadily.\n\n\n\n\nWhile better driving does come with experience, everyone should learn the basics of defensive driving, especially younger drivers. Youths \naccounted for almost 50 per cent\n of the 14,308 road accident death cases recorded in two years from 2019.\n\n\nHere are seven basic tips for you to get into the defensive driving mindset.\n\n\n 1. \nFocus on Driving\n\n\nEvery time we get behind the wheel, life throws a million little distractions at us. Your phone, your spouse, children in the back, they serve to distract you from the real task at hand \u2013 driving. Remember, you\u2019re piloting a two-ton metal machine at potentially fatal speeds, so full concentration is needed.\n\n\nTry and do this the next time you get behind the wheel. Adjust your seat to a comfortable position, put your phone away to avoid possible distractions, and settle in to focus on the journey ahead.\n\n\n 2. \nMake Sure Your Passengers are Secure\n\n\nEvery time you get in the car, your passengers\u2019 lives are in your hands. The least you can do is ensure they buckle up, so you can focus and drive with peace of mind. The passengers should also avoid distracting the driver.\n\n\nFor babies and young children, it is mandatory by law to strap them in suitable child safety seats in the car. The \nmandatory child seat laws\n have been in force in Malaysia since 1 January 2020.\n\n\nFor child seats, the standard for securing them in the car is called ISOFIX. In Malaysia, \nmost cars made after 2014\n have the ISOFIX system in place.\n\n\n3. \nBe Aware of What\u2019s Happening Around You\n\n\nWhen you\u2019re in a car, your spatial awareness is impaired by the car\u2019s bodywork. That\u2019s why the rear and side mirrors are there. By knowing what\u2019s around you at all times, you can take evasive action if needed at any time. In particular, you need to pay attention to your car\u2019s \nblind spots\n to avoid collisions when changing lanes.\n\n\nWhen driving, knowing what\u2019s behind you is also a crucial element of defensive driving. For example, if you\u2019re on the right lane of the highway, and a much faster vehicle is approaching behind you, you will need to give way in a smooth, controlled manner.\n\n\n4. \nKnow What\u2019s Happening Ahead of You\n\n\nThis isn\u2019t just about the approaching car behind you. Defensive drivers will always look at least three or four cars ahead of them. This way, you can anticipate if the traffic will be slow, if there are any obstructions ahead, or even if a driver is acting recklessly ahead. You can then adjust your driving accordingly, while being smooth in the process.\n\n\nFor example, if a collision happens in front of you, you know that you can quickly evade to the side if required. This is doubly so if someone is driving recklessly ahead of you, and \ntragic accidents like this\n can be prevented.\n\n\n\n\n5. \nAlways Assume the Worst\n\n\nDefensive driving is built around the assumption that other road users can and will make the worst decisions possible. You have no control over what they do, and you can\u2019t trust anyone but yourself on the road.\n\n\nThis means giving other drivers a wide berth, overtaking quickly and decisively if need be. When changing lanes, always use your signals and make your intentions clear ahead of time. Always assume that the other driver will make the riskiest moves possible.\n\n\n6. \nAlways Leave a Space Around You\n\n\nThis is closely related to the point above. Always leave a three-second gap to the vehicle in front of you, and try not to drive neck-and-neck with another car beside you. Leaving a space gives you time and space to react to any sudden changes, while also allowing for a smoother drive as you don\u2019t need to brake or accelerate suddenly.\n\n\nIn traffic jams, you can drive closer, but you should also try to keep your distance. This is particularly useful if you\u2019re queuing on an incline as cars ahead may roll back slightly. Keeping your distance also means you can coast instead of stopping and starting as traffic inches forward. This can potentially avoid any fender bender or a car pile-up accident in traffic congestion.\n\n\n7. \nKeep a Level Head\n\n\nWe\u2019ve all encountered that one driver who we dearly want to scream obscenities at. But that is absolutely the opposite of the defensive driving mentality. No matter who is wrong or right, \ngetting upset can get someone killed.\n So stay calm, put the incident behind you, and continue driving safely. If you suspect you are being deliberately tailgated or followed, drive to the nearest police station.\n\n\nFocus and Drive Safe with Carsome\n\n\nAt Carsome, we know that the road is full of dangers. That is why we ensure all our cars are safe, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing, so you can focus on the road while staying safe.\n\n\nEvery Carsome Certified car is curated and thoroughly inspected with our stringent 175-point inspection to ensure the car is free from major accidents, as well as frame, fire, or flood damage.

Have this design in a little hatchback, paired with a four-cylinder petrol or hybrid engine (there is a diesel variant in India) and you\u2019ll get yourself a powerful pocket rocket around the corners.\u00a0\n\n\nFurthermore, it has a spacious interior thanks to its Honda Ultra Seat feature that allows you to fold the seats in multiple configurations to allow more space for cargo of different shapes and sizes. In a sense, the Honda Jazz is still a popular car in Malaysia today due to it being a fancy, foreign-branded Myvi with the features of a luxury crossover. When it was first launched, the Jazz can be had for around RM72,000 but resale prices for a used Honda Jazz have been holding up well around RM50,000 and above.\u00a0\n\n\nBrowse Here: \nHonda Jazz for Sale\n\n\n2. Proton Arena\n\n\nThe Proton Arena has been discontinued since 2009 but used cars have a huge cult following domestically and internationally. Essentially, it is a Proton Wira chassis turned into a coupe utility truck called a ute. Ute is slang for utility or pickup trucks derived from Australia and South Africa. Till today, the Arena still stands as the only truck-based passenger car manufactured by the tiger-emblemed marque.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe new Geely Laroi RD6 EV \nPickup truck\n. A worthy successor to the Arena?\u00a0\n\n\nHowever, driving the Arena isn\u2019t all sunshine and rainbows. Being a derivative of the Proton Wira, the caveat of this ute was that it had a severely underpowered, carburated, and naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine from Mitsubishi. The engine, designed for a passenger car, proved to be too underpowered to carry any heavy cargo. What\u2019s worse is that the Arena only scored a one-star rating in the \nANCAP crash test\n. Domestic sales have been poor but conversely, it did quite well as a cheap workhorse in \ncountries that favor utes\n like Australia, the UK, and South Africa, where the small pickup was dubbed the Proton Jumbuck.\u00a0\n\n\nThe Mitsubishi-sourced 4G15 engine proved to be too underpowered to haul cargo like a true pickup truck.\u00a0\n\n\nThere is salvation found in the \nProton Arena\n in Malaysia; it thrives in the aftermarket scene. More than a decade since its discontinuation, there is a small community trying to revive the ute subculture in Malaysia. To rectify the weak stock powertrain inside, owners love to swap in a much more powerful turbocharged Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution engine and an aftermarket bumper for looks.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCommon aftermarket modifications for the Arena. It can be usually found with a Lancer Evo 2-3 bumper and a 4G63T engine swap. Source: \nMekanika\n\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nBest Sleeper Cars You Can Own for a Bargain!\n\n\n3. Proton Satria/Satria Neo\u00a0\n\n\nAlmost a decade after its discontinuation, the Satria siblings still remain one of the most popular sporty hatchbacks you can own. Just like all early \nProton\n models, the first-generation Satria is essentially a \nMitsubishi Mirage Cyborg\n in DNA, but the Satria Neo, the younger sibling takes the cake.\n\n\nThe first-generation Satria is based on the Mitsubishi Mirage Cyborg, which is why you see plenty of owners converting their cars to resemble it.\u00a0\n\n\nIt was built from theground up by Proton with handling tuned by Lotus Cars. If you don\u2019t know who Lotus is, they are a British sports car manufacturer with an ethos of building performance machines with pure handling over raw power in mind. You can see where this is going.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nProton used to own Lotus cars from 1997 to 2017 before they both were sold to Geely.\n\n\nThe end result was a car designed by and for car enthusiasts. Handling has been reported as nothing less than spectacularly well. The naturally aspirated Campro engine cranks out a commendable 125 PS and 150 Nm. It could make the century sprint in 10.5 seconds in 2009 which was quite the feat for Malaysia\u2019s automotive engineering.\u00a0\n\n\nThat reputation helped make it one of the most popular sporty cars in Malaysia. Nowadays, mint Proton Satrias and Satria Neos in their top-spec variants are highly revered and sought after by collectors to modify for the hills.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Perodua Kembara\n\n\nOne could argue that the Perodua Kembara \nwalked\n so the \nPerodua Ativa\n could run. While both are different in lineage, it did kickstart the demand for a bite-sized SUV in the domestic market. Unlike other 4WD cars of that time, the Kembara was a relatively affordable passenger car compared to the likes of the \nToyota Hilux\n and the \nMitsubishi Triton\n.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe Kembara would eventually evolve into the Toyota Vel- I mean the Perodua Aruz.\u00a0\n\n\nThis little compact 4WD was quite the feat during its heyday. It\u2019s a rebadged Daihatsu Terios underneath, thus making spare parts easy to source. The Perodua Kembara was a cheaper alternative for those who need a 4WD as a cheap workhorse. You can still see Kembaras being used at \nfarms\n, in rural areas, or in the jungle, where they are still being put to good use. Used cars such as the Kembara in good condition still go around for less than RM30,000 these days.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nShould Fresh Grads Get a Used Car As a Safer Bet?\n\n\n5. Suzuki Swift\n\n\nAlmost 10 years after its discontinuation and after Suzuki Motors pulled out of the Malaysian market, this Japanese hatchback is still highly sought after. This five-door hot hatch enjoys a wide variety of aftermarket support for owners trying to crank out more power out of its naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine.\u00a0\n\n\nTwo variants were offered when they were being made in Malaysia. It can be had with a 1.4L or a 1.5L four-cylinder, naturally aspirated engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. This small and compact configuration nets you 100 PS and 133 Nm of torque. The \nSuzuki Swift\n is also being praised for its lightweight and stellar handling when taken to the hills.\u00a0\n\n\nNowadays, the first and second-generation CKD Swift rarely serves as an everyday passenger car. There is a high chance you might see these cars modified for the track and the streets of Ulu Yam and Genting Road. The third generation Swift is not sold here officially although it\u2019s brought in by Naza Eastern Motors with an automatic transmission and a turbocharger.\n\n\n\n\nWill the \nSuzuki Swift\n see a price hike due to demand in the future? Only time can tell. For now, the Swift remains the dark horse of hot hatches that can be bought for a bargain in the used market.\u00a0\n\n\nBrowse Here: \nSuzuki Swift for Sale\n\n", "Tags\nBuying a Car\nCar Types\nDriving\nLearning Centre\nSell Car", "Brian Wong", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Here\u2019s All You Need to Know", "By\n \nDevan S", "05/07/2022", "\n\n\n\n\n", "As car owners, we all do our best to maintain our cars, be it by taking them for regular servicing or by using quality parts and products. Besides your engine oil and other usual consumables you put in your car, there are also additives marketed as being able to improve the performance and reliability of your car. In fact, many workshops and auto parts stores carry automotive additives such as fuel additives and engine oil treatments, but do they really work? Let\u2019s find out.\n\n\nWhat are Automotive Additives?\n\n\nAdditives are substances added to fuels, engine oils, transmission fluids, and coolants to improve their performance. Since additives play an important role in modern \ncar fluids\n, most fluids in your car already have additives added to them by the manufacturer.\u00a0\n\n\nAdditives can have different functions depending on the type of fluid they are added into. Some of their functions include improving the corrosion resistance, cleaning effect, and lubricative properties of engine oils, and even preventing fuels from depositing carbon and sludge in the engine. Examples of automotive additives that you can add to your car yourself include fuel octane boosters, engine oil treatments, and coolant additives.\n\n\n\n\nAdditives in Engine Oils\n\n\nAn example of how we use additives in our cars is when we decide on \nengine oils\n. Engine oils are divided into three types \u2013 regular mineral oil, semi-synthetic, and fully synthetic oil. Regular engine oil is essentially refined, crude oil without additives. Semi-synthetic oil is refined oil with artificial additives, while fully-synthetic oil is fully man-made and designed with additives from the ground up.\u00a0\n\n\nThe additives in a semi-synthetic and fully synthetic oil help the oil to better lubricate and protect your engine against friction and corrosion. These additives also help the engine oil last longer which is why synthetic oils can last for up to 10,000 kilometers compared to 5,000 kilometers for mineral oils. To provide extra protection to your engine, you can opt to add an engine oil treatment when you change your oil.\n\n\nFuel Injector Cleaner\n\n\nA fuel injector cleaner, also called a fuel decarbonizer by some manufacturers, is the most popular type of car additive. It\u2019s designed to dissolve contaminants and carbon build-up around the fuel injector to keep the fuel flowing smoothly into the engine. Fuel injector cleaners are available from various major brands including Liqui Moly and X-1R, and usually need to be poured into the fuel tank every 5,000 kilometers or so. Here are some advantages of using a fuel injector cleaner in your car.\n\n\n\n\nSmoother combustion in the engine.\n\n\nImproved fuel consumption.\n\n\nReduced exhaust emissions.\n\n\nExtends the lifespan of the fuel injectors and throttle body.\n\n\n\n\nWhile fuel injector cleaners do work, they may not be as effective in new cars as their fuel injection system would still be in good condition. Therefore, it\u2019s best to use this fuel additive after running your car for several thousand kilometers.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nThings to Check When You Service Your Car\n\n\nFuel Octane Booster\n\n\nSimilar to a fuel injector cleaner, an octane booster is a fuel additive that you pour into the fuel tank. It functions to increase the octane rating of your fuel to eliminate engine knocking if you drive a car that has a high compression ratio. Here\u2019s a brief explanation of octane rating and compression ratio.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nOctane rating: \nRefers to the measure of a fuel\u2019s stability. Petrol and diesel fuels contain a mix of hydrocarbons including iso-octane, heptane, and other compounds. The higher the amount of iso-octane, the more resistant the fuel is to spontaneous combustion. Therefore, petrol with a higher octane rating or RON (research octane number) is more resistant to spontaneous combustion or knocking. This can result in increased fuel efficiency and improved engine lifespan.\n\n\nCompression ratio:\n Refers to the ratio between the maximum and minimum engine cylinder volume when the piston is at the bottom and top of its stroke respectively. Based on the engine stroke animation below, imagine that the engine cylinder has a volume of 10 cc (cubic centimeters) when the piston is at the bottom, and 1 cc when the piston is at the top. That gives us a compression ratio of 10:1. Engines with a high compression ratio are able to compress more air in the cylinder which produces a stronger combustion and more power. However, a high compression engine also requires high-octane fuel since low-octane fuel is more prone to spontaneous combustion.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnimation of an engine stroke [Image source: Giphy]\n\n\nShould You Use Fuel Octane Boosters?\n\n\nLuxury and high-performance cars usually have engines with a high compression ratio, and therefore, need fuel with a higher octane rating to prevent spontaneous, hence incomplete combustion which leads to pinging or knocking in the engine.\u00a0\nIf your car has high-performance parts, an octane booster can also increase the horsepower of your car without the risk of your engine exploding. Although this fuel additive can be useful for some cars, most of us would not benefit from it since most cars in Malaysia are able to run perfectly fine on RON 95 petrol. However, if you drive a luxury or high-performance car, you can most likely benefit from using an octane booster\n\n\nEngine Oil Treatment\n\n\nMost \nengine oils\n already have additives in them to help provide maximum protection to your engine. However, the oil can degrade over time and lose its additives preventing the oil from performing its function optimally. Engine oil treatments solve this problem by ensuring the additives in the engine oil last longer, thus improving the oil\u2019s performance. Here are some additives included in engine oil treatments and what they do.\n\n\n\n\nDetergents:\n Help to neutralize oils, deposits, impurities, and acids, turning them soluble so they don\u2019t turn into sludge in the engine.\n\n\nViscosity Index Improvers:\n Help maintain the engine oil viscosity through varying engine temperatures so the oil can flow optimally and protect the inner surfaces of the engine.\n\n\nAnti-wear agents:\n Coat the surfaces of the engine, protecting it from wear and tear. As they repel water and neutralize acids, they also slow down corrosion.\u00a0\n\n\nLubricating agents:\n Enhances the lubricative properties of the engine oil, slowing down engine wear and tear. Lubricants are one of the most important components of engine oil treatment products.\n\n\n\n\nThe additives in an engine oil treatment can reduce engine wear and tear, improve fuel economy, and prolong engine life. However, similar to a fuel injector cleaner, you\u2019re less likely to experience these benefits in a brand new car as its engine would still be in top condition.\n\n\nRead More:\n \n5 Reasons Your Car Breaks Down & How to Get Help\n\n\n\n\nEngine Coolant Additive\n\n\nWe all know that an engine coolant is essential to keep the engine running at optimal temperatures and prevent \noverheating\n. However, regular coolant may not always be able to cool the engine down enough, especially if the car is frequently driven hard, such as on the race track. A coolant additive uses chemicals called surfactants to keep an engine cooler.\u00a0\n\n\nThe surfactants reduce the surface tension of the water and coolant in the radiator, preventing the formation of bubbles. This allows the solution to remain in liquid form even under high heat which improves the coolant\u2019s ability to absorb and transfer heat away from the engine. While engine coolant additives do work, most cars can function just fine without them. Most of the time, you can keep your engine running at optimal temperatures just by ensuring that you have sufficient coolant in your reservoir.\n\n\nTransmission Fluid Treatment\n\n\nThe transmission fluid functions to lubricate the \ntransmission system\n and allow for smooth gear shifting. It also already contains detergents, lubricants, and protectants that keep the transmission in good working condition. A transmission fluid treatment contains additional chemicals that can reduce the operating temperature in the transmission, promote smooth shifting, and reduce transmission seal deterioration. However, not everyone can benefit from a transmission fluid treatment.\n\n\nMost vehicles are simply used for daily commuting and the occasional road trips, which don\u2019t put a heavy strain on the transmission, and therefore, don\u2019t require transmission fluid treatments. That being said, these automotive additives can benefit some vehicles, mainly older vehicles with high mileage, and vehicles that are frequently used to tow or carry heavy loads.\n\n\nMany modern lubricants and automotive fluids already contain synthetic additives that do a good enough job of protecting the inner workings of your car. That being said, some vehicles, especially older ones, can definitely benefit from automotive additives. Whether you\u2019re considering treating your car with a fuel additive or engine oil treatment, do consult your mechanic and get their advice.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nMistakes to Avoid When Buying a New Car\n\n\nChoose CARSOME Certified for Peace of Mind\n\n\nCheck out CARSOME if you want a quality car.

So, they\u2019re still new tires but just a few years old.\n\n\nThat shouldn\u2019t be an issue, right? After all, tires don\u2019t have an expiry date\u2026 do they?\n\n\nWell, unlike milk going sour overnight, your tires aren\u2019t going to turn rock solid and disintegrate but rubber itself can harden, causing its properties to deteriorate in the process.\n\n\nIs It Safe to Purchase Old Tires?\n\n\nDepending on the date of manufacturing, some tires can already be expired when you purchase them. Unused tires should only be stored for a maximum of six years before being considered \u201cexpired\u201d and unsafe for use. The reasoning behind this is dependent on the rubber compound and not the depth of the tire treads themselves.\n\n\nSo, even if the tire is brand new but has exceeded six years, you should probably avoid it.\n\n\nPrior to the year 2000, tires came with a recommended storage limit of not more than 10 years from the manufacturing date. Nonetheless, modern guidelines have seen that term shortened to just six years with the caveat that the tires are stored indoors, away from the harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun.\n\n\nRead More: \nWhat to Do during a Tire Blowout and How to Avoid Crashing?\n\n\nDoes This Apply to the Tires Currently on My Car?\n\n\nUnfortunately, they do. Many owners mistakenly assume that the tire\u2019s lifespan is determined by the depth of its tread. While this is true if the treads wear out, the lifespan is equally dependent on the age of the tires as well.\n\n\nRubber begins to oxidize when exposed to the elements and will begin to harden, causing its ability to grip to degenerate. Therefore, even if the treads are still deep, the tire should be replaced if it has exceeded the recommended lifespan.\n\n\nTo quote Bridgestone Malaysia:\n\n\n\u201cLow mileage is not really the issue if the cars are used irregularly but tire aging is. Tire aging occurs if a car is parked for a long period, the rubber will oxidize causing hairline cracks.\u201d\n\n\n\n\nThis aging gets even worse if the car is regularly parked under direct sunlight without shelter, being exposed to UV rays. Further accentuating the rubber\u2019s aging is a lack of use. If the car is used regularly, the movement will help delay the aging process.\n\n\nThe reason for this is due to the tire\u2019s movement causing the antioxidant or antiozonant on the rubber to bleed to the outer surfaces of the tire tread and sidewall. As this is done, the antioxidants will form a protective layer that deters premature aging.\n\n\nRead More: \nRun-Flat Tires: A Complete Guide\n\n\nSo, Can I Buy Older Tires That Are Still New?\n\n\nWell, depending on the manufacturing date and how said tires were stored, the short answer is yes. As long as the tires haven\u2019t exceeded six years of age and were kept indoors, you can purchase them.\n\n\nAs for low-mileage cars, it\u2019s recommended you replace them after 5 years regardless of the tread depth as past that age, most tires are considered \u201cexpired\u201d. Do try and drive them at least once a week as the regular rotation will slow down the aging process of the rubber.\n\n\nHowever, if your tire\u2019s age is past 3 years, it\u2019s recommended you regularly check them for hairline cracks on the side walls. If you spot these cracks, you should replace them as soon as possible and avoid long distances.\n\n\nRead More: \nUpsizing Your Car\u2019s Tires: Is Bigger Always Better?\n\n\nHow Do I Check the Age of My Tires?\n\n\nThis one is easy. To know the date of manufacturing, look out for the 4-digit DOT code on the sidewall. The first 2 digits indicate the week while the last 2 digits are the year.\n\n\nFor example, if the number is 2519, this means the tire was made during the 25th week of the year 2019.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nConclusion\n\n\nAvoid tires that are more than six years old and be sure to replace the pieces on your car after five years. To extend the tire\u2019s lifespan, try to drive the car at least once a week; even if it\u2019s your family\u2019s second or third car.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a quality pre-owned car, check out \nCARSOME\n today.

A few more kilometers down the road and your car begins sputtering before dying, leaving you both stranded by the road.\n\n\nEssentially, there are two types of people when it comes to filling up their car\u2019s fuel tank; those that get range anxiety the moment the gauge drops below half and those that drive with the fuel warning light blinking like the end of the world was around the corner, not the nearest petrol station.\n\n\nFor those that fall in the latter category, not only is this bad for your passengers\u2019 anxiety but it\u2019s also damaging to your car and could lead to a large repair bill down the road.\n\n\nLet\u2019s take a look at some of the reasons you might want to repent your ways and not drive until the last drop of fuel anymore.\n\n\n\n\n1. Wearing Out The Fuel Pump\n\n\nThe purpose of the fuel pump is, as the name suggests, to pump fuel towards the engine. However, you should be aware that the fuel in the tank also functions as a lubricant and cooling agent for the pump as it flows around it.\n\n\nWhen you continuously drive until the fuel level in the tank is low before refueling, the pump doesn\u2019t get enough lubrication and cooling. This will lead to extra wear and overheating of the pump, causing premature \nfuel pump failure\n and a hefty replacement bill.\n\n\nRead More: \nWant to Save Fuel? Here Are the Most Fuel-Efficient Cars in Malaysia\n\n\n2. Kicking Up Deposits & Sludge From The Bottom\n\n\nFuel contains plenty of chemicals and additives within, which means contaminants and sludge will make their way into the tank. Over time, these deposits will settle at the bottom of the tank and turn into sludge.\n\n\nIf you constantly run with the fuel tank empty, it\u2019s likely the pump will suck up fuel from the bottom of the tank together with the sludge. While the fuel filter will trap most of the sludge, some will make their way to the engine and clog your injectors.\n\n\nThis means poor fuel economy and an engine that runs rough. Eventually, it may even cause more serious issues that require expensive repairs.\n\n\n3. Air In The System\n\n\nIt\u2019s called a fuel pump for a reason and not an air pump. If there isn\u2019t sufficient fuel in the tank, the pump will end up pumping air into the system. If air enters the fuel system, the worst case scenario would be catastrophic damage to the engine as the fuel injectors inject less fuel into the cylinder, causing detonation.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nDo Engine Oil Treatment & Fuel Additives Really Work?\n\n\n\n\n4. Danger Of Stalling At Any Moment\n\n\nThis one is more of a danger to you than your car\u2019s mechanicals itself. By running the tank on empty, you risk stalling on the road and becoming and instant hazard to other motorists. Imagine if you stalled going uphill with fast-moving vehicles coming up behind you? You might not have enough momentum to make it to the emergency lane.\n\n\nFurthermore, a stalled vehicle means the brakes and power steering also lose all their assistance, making it even more difficult to steer or stop the vehicle from rolling back, which could lead to an accident.\n\n\nRead More: \nHow To Know If Your Brakes Are Failing? Here Are 8 Signs To Look Out For\n\n\nWhat Is The Best Practice For Refueling?\n\n\nMost experts agree it\u2019s safe practice to refuel when the gauge hits the quarter mark. Not only will this prevent damage to the fuel system, it means in the event of an emergency, you\u2019ll always have a decent amount of fuel in the car to drive with.\n\n\nIn the event that you\u2019re running low on fuel and you can\u2019t find a petrol station, it\u2019s best to have some knowledge of your car\u2019s reserve fuel levels to better estimate how much further you can drive.\n\n\nDifferent vehicles have different configurations for their fuel tank and gauge but in general, the warning light will come on when there\u2019s anywhere between 7 to 11 liters of fuel left in the tank.\n\n\nThis is also highly dependent on the type of vehicle. Smaller econoboxes will have smaller tanks, so the reserve levels should be lower. A gargantuan \nSUV\n with a larger tank might have the light come on with about 15 liters of fuel left.\n\n\nAnother factor to consider and understand is your car\u2019s mileage. If you drive a thirsty car, you\u2019re definitely not driving another 70 kilometers but maybe eke out another 50 kilometers with some luck.\n\n\nAgain, it\u2019s also dependent on your driving style, which part of the city you\u2019re in, and your car\u2019s fuel consumption in general.\n\n\nMost modern cars also have a display with the estimated distance in regard to the amount of fuel left. While these displays are pretty accurate, they\u2019re still estimates and shouldn\u2019t be taken at face value.\n\n", "Amarnath", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Even more so, nobody really takes into account the technology involved in these items. People tend to forget that without these guides, driving at night can be very daunting, and yet accidents are on the steady rise.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    So here are some alarming facts. According to the general statistics from the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS), 2016 recorded the highest ever road crashes in Malaysia at 521,466. Of that number, there were 7,152 deaths \u2013 marking the first time the figure has gone past 7,000 in the research\u2019s past 20 years.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The statistics are alarming and is most certainly a cause for concern. Although common reasons for accidents include reckless, inattentive, drunk driving and ignoring traffic rules, many forget that low visibility at night is just as dangerous to drivers. Because 90 per cent of driver decisions are made based on visual information, the combination of vehicle headlights and road lights can cause several visual problems.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    This is where road lines; road signs; and truck conspicuity (reflective) markings come in. Did you know that in all these markers, there are three main technologies for making road signs brighter at night \u2013 encapsulated glass beads, truncated micro prismatic cube-corner optics, and fully reflective micro prismatic cube-corners? While the most common (truncated micro prismatic cube-corner optics) sign sheetings are only able to reflect about 32 per cent of light back to its source, the one offered by 3M can reflect about 58 per cent of light back towards its source and doubling the brightness of road signs.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Similarly, highly visible retroreflective pavement paint include highly refractive microcrystalline ceramic optical elements that enables these markings to be more resistant to harsh roadway conditions and provide clear visibility in both dry and wet conditions.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The brand also plays a part in conspicuity tape on heavy commercial good vehicles that increases their visibility to other road users. This benefits other road users that drive at night, allowing them to see these heavy vehicles stationary in a dark spot, turning or crossing roadways in bad weather or low light conditions.\n\n\n\n\n    Because not all products are made the same, the brand\u2019s extensive research and development allows for the production of the best solutions for specific problems.

We think that your ability to see out and around the vehicle, to anticipate what\u2019s ahead and happening around you is just as vital. Car\u2019s with stickers and soft toys littered all over the dashboard, front and rear windscreens are not an uncommon sight on our Malaysian roads and the dangers of it are often only noticed seconds before an accident happens.\n\n\nWe think more people need to be aware of the huge consequences of the little discrepancies our vehicles can pose. So here are 7 simple steps you can take to ensure that your visibility from behind the wheel, and of what\u2019s ahead and around the vehicle, is as clear as it can possibly be.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nClean & Angle Those Headlamps Appropriately.\n\n\n\n\nYou see this in a lot of older cars \u2013 headlamps looking dull and cloudy. This affects the light your headlamps are able to project and in turn on your ability to see further ahead. Scrubbing them with a cloth and some toothpaste is a quick fix that most would recommend. It would also be practical for those who own vehicles with height adjustable headlamps to ensure that they angle them appropriately so that the beam gets projected as far as possible.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nPanoramic Rear View Mirrors\n\n\nYou know what we\u2019re talking about! We\u2019re quite sure you know at least a friend or an auntie or uncle that has that accessory, which doesn\u2019t cost more than RM50 for a decent one, clipped onto their rear-view mirror.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nNotice how much larger, the panoramic rear view mirror is able to reflect the sides of the vehicle?\u00a0\n\n\nAnd it actually makes a whole of difference! As it offers a wider range of view, you\u2019re able to minimise your blind spots as the mirror extends further sideways than the original mirrors.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nMake Sure Your Front And Rear Windscreens Are Clean And Clear.\n\n\n\n\nHow many of us still wash our own cars? As it turns out, within our premises alone, 9 out of 10 of our colleagues don\u2019t. You should at least pay attention to the windscreens though, both front and back. You don\u2019t need experts to tell you why clean and clear windscreens are important for your visibility.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAdjust Your Side Mirrors.\n\n\n\n\nMost of us are used to seeing the flanks of our own vehicles in the side mirror. However, sources have advocated adjusting the mirrors so far outward that the viewing angle of side mirrors just overlaps the reflection of the rear view mirror. It is said that one should adjust the driver\u2019s side mirror by resting their head against the driver\u2019s side window and adjusting the mirror so that they can just see the sides of their car.\n\n\nOnce that\u2019s done, move to the center of the vehicle and turn the passenger side mirror so that one can just see the side of one\u2019s car from the center of the vehicle. This arrangement is suppose to negate a car\u2019s blind spot, thus eliminating the need to glance over your shoulder to safely change lanes. Although, we always recommend double checking first before changing lanes, just to be safe.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nKeep A Distance From The Car In Front\n\n\nWe all are guilty of this; like WE ALL. Inconsiderate drivers are aplenty and will never seize to exist; but that doesn\u2019t mean we should tailgate so closely to the car in front. What if they decided to slam on the brakes?\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIf you were further away from the vehicle in front, wouldn\u2019t you think that you would\u2019ve had enough time to avoid that projectile? \nCredit: pakwheels.com\n\n\nKeep a car length, better yet two car lengths for good measure so that you can safely gauge and anticipate any mishaps that might occur up ahead.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nKeep That Dashboard Clear Of Obstructions.\n\n\n\n\nPerfume bottles, tissue boxes, air fresheners hanging from the rear view mirror, excessive \u201cRecaro\u201d stickers and those leafy things that never stop swaying, take them all away from the dashboard. Not only can they obstruct your view of what\u2019s ahead, the movements can distract your attention behind the wheel too.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWear Some Glasses!\n\n\nDon\u2019t be in denial people, get those eyes checked and put those glasses on!\n\n\nWe are almost certain that a small minority of our readers can relate to this. You may think the slight imperfection in your vision is no cause for concern and that there\u2019s no necessity to opt for a pair of glasses.

Having a defined vision to anticipate what might happen ahead of you can prove to be a worthy tool behind the wheel, apart from the competency to drive.

If you are travelling home by car this Chinese New Year, we have prepared a quick checklist below for you to take note before your long drive.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nTire check and vehicle service\n\n\nThis first tip is compulsory for all vehicles. Sending in your car for a service is not only crucial before your long journey, but also helps in extending the lifespan and health of your vehicle.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTires\n\n\n\n\nYour tires are the only connection your car has with the road. Tire grip is the most critical element when it comes to an emergency. Check your tires according to the wear indicator and ensure that your tire pressure is at its optimum at least once a fortnight. The best time to top up with air is in the early morning or at night when the tire\u2019s temperature is cooler. Also, don\u2019t forget to check your spare in the trunk!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrakes\n\n\n\n\nBrake pads are not the only component that is involved in stopping your car. Do also check your brake fluid and make sure it is at its recommended levels.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEngine Oil\n\n\n\n\nIt is a standard procedure that your engine oil change happens according to your scheduled service. If you have recently sent in your car for service, you can also carry out checks on your own. The easiest way to do so is with the oil dipstick which commonly has a yellow or orange handle. Do remember to perform the inspection after your car has settled for several hours to get a more accurate reading.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWipers\n\n\n\n\nMost windscreen wipers lose their consistency after a year due to wear and from the heat and sunlight we get all year round. If your wipers are skipping, scraping or show signs of cracking, \nit is time to change\n. For compatibility, do note the size and hook type on your wipers before you purchase.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLights\n\n\n\n\nThe lights on your car are most essential for night driving. Perform a full check on your headlamps, high beams, rear lights, brake lights, third brake lights, your turn signals and even the hazard lights.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBattery\n\n\n\n\nDepending on what vehicle you drive, the lifespan of a standard car battery lasts an average of two years. Early signs of a weak battery are when the engine struggles slightly during a start. To \nprevent getting stuc\nk\n with a dead battery\n, you should get it checked at any service center or use an analog or digital multi-meter to test the battery\u2019s charge level.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nGet enough rest and plan your journey\n\n\nIf you are the designated driver, do remember to get enough sleep before your road trip. Even so, do exercise caution when it comes to driving in the afternoon after a meal, as you could also doze off at the wheel. If you start to feel tired, do not force yourself to continue, get the next driver to take over. You can plan your journey via navigation apps such as Waze or Google Maps.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTop up your Touch \u2018n Go card\n\n\nDo remember to have enough credit in your Touch \u2018n Go card. More so, you could \nlink your card with PayDirect via Touch \u2018n Go\u2019s eWallet app\n or use \nRFID\n if you have that installed.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPhone charger and powerbank\n\n\nIf you rely on your cellphone for navigation, do ensure it is fully charged the night before your journey. To be safe, do bring along a car charger or a power bank just in case. You never know when you need one for emergencies.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPractice patience and prudence on the road\n\n\nIf you are traveling with your loved ones, do remember that everyone else on the road has their destinations as well. Practice patience, courtesy and defensive driving when heading home this Chinese New Year.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRead below for more stories!\n\n\nAre you looking for passenger car tires with shorter wet braking distance when worn? \nMichelin\u2019s XM2 Plus tires\n are the answer.\n\n\nDid you know that from 1 January 2020, it is mandatory to strap your children into child car seats?\u00a0\nClick here\n\u00a0\nfor more on the ruling, certified labels and how to select the right car seat for your child.\n\n\nSome modern car safety features could save you from serious accidents.

For those who are not so familiar with the weather in Malaysia, we have two seasons \u2013 Hot Sun and Cool Rain, and towards the end of the year, we get more rain than usual because of the monsoon season. For those who drive, the heavy downpours can be quite tricky to maneuver, due to low visibility to slippery roads. Here are some important safety tips when driving in the rain!\n\n\n\n\n7 Tips to Keep You Safe\n\n\nCheck your Tires and Windshield Wipers\n\n\nIt\u2019s always a good idea to just double check your \ntires\n and wipers before you drive off into the rain. Your tires ideally should not be bald as the treads on the tires should have a depth of at least 2 mm because anything lower than this can cause your car to aquaplane as the tires lose the right traction and ability to grip on the road.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nThe windshield wipers\u2019 condition should be checked every 6 months to ensure they are able to wipe the water off your screen so that your view of the road is clear. The sun and the dry weather can cause them to dry out and crack so checking them is really important.\n\n\nSpeeding = Absolute NO\n\n\nGIF source: Giphy.com\n\n\nThis comes without saying because no matter what the circumstances are, you don\u2019t want to speed during a heavy downpour and put yourself and others in jeopardy. You should always lower your speed when it rains, and the road is wet. If you need to be somewhere at a certain time, you can always leave earlier than usual to give yourself ample time on the road so that you don\u2019t feel any need to rush if it rains.\n\n\nTurn on your Headlights\n\n\n\n\nEven if it rains during the day, it can affect the visibility on the road, which is when you should turn on your \nheadlights\n immediately. Not only will you be able to see the road better, but it also gives an indication to other drivers that your car is there and moving. But no matter how heavy the rain in, if your car is moving, the emergency light should NOT be on! For those who might not know this, emergency light is turned on when your car is at a complete stop to alert other drivers.\n\n\nTwo Hands on the Wheel\n\n\n\n\nYou are taught to drive with both hands on the wheel with a reason, so that you have total control of your car! This comes in especially handy when you are driving in the rain with strong wind. You need to grip your steering wheel firmly with two hands so that you can avoid your car from drifting off the road as it is really easy when the road is slippery.\n\n\nKeep a Safe Distance\n\n\n\n\nRemember the 9 seconds rule that you were taught when you were taking your driver\u2019s examination? To refresh your mind, the 9 seconds rule refers to the distance between your car and the car in front of you. Why 9 seconds you ask? Because if the car hits the brakes suddenly, you will have ample time to react and stop your car before anything happens. Like we said, the risk of accidents happening during a heavy downpour is way higher so you should always stay at a safe distance when you are driving.\n\n\nAvoid using Cruise Control\n\n\n\n\nThis is a great feature that should only be used when the weather is dry as it increases the risk of losing control of your car in wet conditions. Cruise Control allows your car to drive at a constant speed, so when it rains, it will be really difficult for you to slow down which will only make things worse. Your car will also speed up if you aquaplane when you have the Cruise Control turned on.\n\n\nKeep Calm if Aquaplaning Occurs\n\n\n\n\nAquaplane is when a layer of water builds up between the tires of your car and the road which leads to you losing control of your car. You can usually tell if you are aquaplaning, your steering wheel will feel light and unresponsive and you will be able to hear displaced water roaring against the inside of the car\u2019s wheel arches. So if this were to happen, you need to keep calm and try your best not to hit on the brakes as it will only cause your car to skid. What you should do is gently remove your foot from the gas pedal and allow your car to slow itself until the tires are back in contact with the road. You can then brake gently and correct your trajectory.\n\n\n\n\nNow, these are just a few tips to stay safe when driving in the rain. The ultimate tip is to always stay vigilant on the road, no matter rain or shine. We at \nCarsome\n want you to stay focused when you drive so that you can reach your destination safe and sound. #CarsomeCares.\n\n", "Haziq Asyraf\nA self-proclaimed foodie and gamer whose passion for food and games has recently extended to cars.", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

From starting with an L license all the way to obtaining your CDL license, here\u2019s what you have to do.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for a driving course\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact the driving institute of your choice. The admin officer at the institute will explain the fees required to get a driving license, and the course structure, and help you schedule your first class.\n\n\n2. Attend the KPP01 Theoretical Course\n\n\nThe\u00a0 KPP01 is a theoretical classroom course that will teach you about road signs and laws, driving etiquette, defensive driving, and more. The class takes 6 hours on a single day. You are advised to dress neatly when attending this course.\n\n\n3, Law Theory Computer Test\u00a0\n\n\nAfter attending the KPP01 course, you need to sit for a law theory computer test which takes 45 minutes. The minimum passing score for this test is 42/50. You\u2019ll need to sit for a repeat test if he/she fails.\n\n\n4. Collect Your L License\n\n\nWithin a week after passing the computer test, you can collect your L (Learner Driving License) license. Oftentimes, you can also have your assigned instructor deliver it to you. With an L license, you can only \ndrive cars displaying the L plate owned by driving schools under the supervision of a driving school instructor.\n\n\n5. Attend the KPP02 and KPP03 Practical Driving Course\u00a0\n\n\nOnce you have obtained your L License, your driving instructor will coach you to drive on the course at the driving institute (KPP02) and on the road (KPP03). If you are applying for the D license (manual car), you will learn how to drive a manual car and how to change gears with a clutch. Alternatively, you can also opt for the DA class license (automatic car), where you will learn how to drive an automatic transmission vehicle.\u00a0\n\n\nOnce the driving instructor is confident that you are capable of completing the road test, they will schedule your test. Your driving test will include a slope test, a 3-point turn, reverse parking, parallel parking, and driving on the open road. If you\u2019re applying for a motorcycle license, you\u2019ll also have to attend the KPP02 and KPP03 classes on a dedicated motorcycle riding course.\n\n\n6. Attend the JPJ Practical Test\u00a0\n\n\nNext, you have to sit for the JPJ Practical Test. The test involves two stages \u2013 driving on the circuit while being observed by JPJ officers stationed at the test stations, and an on-the-road driving test accompanied by a JPJ officer in the passenger seat. If you pass the JPJ Practical Test, you will be eligible for a P driving license. Otherwise, you will have to re-sit the test.\n\n\n7. Collect Your P License\u00a0\n\n\nAfter you\u2019ve passed the practical test, you\u2019ll be awarded a P license (PDL). You\u2019ll need to drive with this license for two years before being able to upgrade it to a CDL or a \u2018full license\u2019. Just make sure you don\u2019t get into trouble and rack up demerit points or you\u2019ll risk losing your P license. If that happens you\u2019ll have to go through the whole process again.\u00a0\n\n\nThere are no special rules for P license holders other than you also need to display the P sticker on the top left front windscreen and top right rear windscreen of your car. Once the two-year probationary period is over, you can upgrade to a CDL license at any JPJ office.\n\n\n\n\nHow Much Does a Driving License Cost in Malaysia?\n\n\nThe cost of a driving license varies by state and location of the driving institute. However, the Licensing Committee of Driving Institutes (JKPIM) \u200b\u200bunder the management of JPJ has set the maximum amount for tuition and practical driving training fees for all driving institutes.\u00a0\n\n\nThis ensures the price of driving licenses in Malaysia has a maximum cap and is consistent in each state. It also ensures that everybody can afford to obtain a driving license. Below are the prices of driving licenses available in Malaysia.

Ia dapat membuktikan bahawa pemilik sebelumnya telah menjaga dan menyelenggara kereta tersebut dengan baik.\n\n\nPerkara lain yang perlu anda periksa adalah nombor casis dan nombor enjin supaya ia sama dengan nombor yang tertera pada geran. Jika ianya tidak sama, anda mungkin akan membeli kereta yang telah dicuri dan/atau kereta yang telah dibaiki secara semberono.\n\n\nPeriksa Kereta\n\n\nPemeriksaan kenderaan bermotor mungkin memerlukan kemahiran teknikal tertentu, tetapi anda juga boleh melakukan beberapa langkah pemeriksaan yang ringkas untuk memastikan bahawa anda tidak ditipu, tanpa memerlukan pengetahuan mekanikal yang mendalam.\n\n\nSalah satu langkah pemeriksaan yang ringkas tetapi penting yang boleh anda lakukan ialah kerosakan pada bahagian casis kereta. Periksa sama ada panel badan kereta sejajar antara satu sama lain pada bahagian kiri dan kanan kereta. Periksa juga jika warna cat adalah sama.\n\n\nMenyelaraskan, mengimpal, dan mengecat kembali casis yang telah kemek akibat kemalangan merupakan kerja pembaikan yang sangat sukar. Kesan pembaikan yang melibatkan kemalangan besar biasanya dapat dilihat melalui jurang yang tidak konsisten dan warna cat yang tidak sepadan antara bahagian pintu dan fender kereta.\n\n\nDengan cara ini, anda boleh memastikan bahawa anda tidak ditipu supaya membeli kenderaan yang telah terlibat dalam kemalangan.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nTips Kenal Pasti, Cara Semak Kereta Pernah Kemalangan\n\n\n\n\nPandu Uji Kereta\n\n\nSebelum anda membeli kereta, sangat penting untuk anda memandu ujinya terlebih dahulu. Jika penjual kelihatan ragu-ragu untuk membenarkan anda memandu uji, ini menunjukkan bahawa mungkin terdapat masalah dengan kereta itu.\n\n\nInilah sebabnya CARSOME sentiasa mengalu-alukan anda untuk membuat tempahan sesi pandu uji \u2013 cuma pilih kereta yang anda minat dan jadualkan sesi pandu uji anda secara dalam talian dengan kami.\n\n\nJangan lepaskan peluang untuk pandu uji kereta. Dengan berbuat demikian, anda boleh mengetahui sendiri sebarang kerosakan mekanikal yang ada pada kereta tersebut. Seperti biasa, anda perlu pastikan bahawa kereta tersebut berjalan dengan baik, gear bertukar dengan lancar, dan semua komponen elektronik berfungsi dengan baik.\n\n\nAnda juga boleh menggunakan pengalaman pandu uji tersebut sebagai kelebihan untuk anda \u2013 sebarang kerosakan kecil boleh digunakan sebagai alasan untuk menurunkan harga kereta.\n\n\nBerhati-hati Dengan Bayaran Tersembunyi\n\n\nAkhir sekali, anda mungkin akan menerima kejutan yang tidak diingini berkaitan dengan bayaran tersembunyi sebaik sahaja anda bersetuju untuk membeli kereta. Kadang-kala, perbezaan harga yang diiklankan dan harga \non-the-road\n boleh mencecah sehingga ribuan ringgit.\n\n\n\u201cBayaran\u201d ini termasuk bayaran insurans dan bayaran pengendalian kertas kerja untuk anda. Sebenarnya, menyelesaikan kertas kerja semasa membeli kereta adalah sangat memenatkan jika ia merupakan kali pertama anda melakukannya. Tetapi masa dan usaha yang dilibatkan mungkin tidak berbaloi dengan harga yang diberikan oleh penjual yang tidak jujur.\n\n\nIngat, selagi anda masih belum menandatangani sebarang dokumen, anda berhak untuk menarik diri daripada proses jual beli tersebut.\n\n\nApabila Menjual Kereta\n\n\nKetahui Nilai Kereta Anda\n\n\nMengetahui berapa nilai jualan kereta anda dapat melancarkan lagi proses menjual kereta. Sama seperti menjual kereta, anda boleh menyemak nilai pasaran kereta anda dengan merujuk penilaian oleh syarikat insurans.\n\n\nDengan cara ini, anda boleh mengelak dari menerima tawaran yang terlalu rendah atau ditipu untuk menerima tawaran yang tidak masuk akal.\u00a0\n\n\nSelain daripada itu, anda boleh menempah sesi pemeriksaan dengan CARSOME, di mana pemeriksa terlatih kami akan mengendalikan pemeriksaan 175-titik ke atas kereta anda sebelum menawarkan harga pasaran untuk kereta anda.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nNak Jual Kereta? 17.5 Perkara untuk Naikkan Nilai Kereta Anda\n\n\nKetahui Keadaan Kereta Anda\n\n\nOleh kerana kereta anda dipandu secara harian, kadang kala ia akan menghadapi masalah yang tidak dapat dilihat. Masalah yang biasa timbul termasuk sistem suspensi yang telah haus, kerosakan pada komponen enjin, atau pada kotak gear.\n\n\nOleh itu, sebelum menjual kereta anda, menghantar kereta anda untuk diperiksa oleh pemeriksa kenderaan yang dipercayai seperti pemeriksa profesional dari CARSOME adalah idea yang baik.

Walau bagaimanapun, jika anda pergi ke kedai lain untuk melakukan pemeriksaan, ia mungkin akan menelan belanja sebanyak beberapa ratus ringgit.\n\n\nApa yang penting, dengan mengetahui keadaan kereta anda, anda dapat mengelak daripada ditipu oleh pembeli yang mungkin menipu anda tentang kerosakan yang tidak wujud untuk menurunkan harga kereta.\n\n\n\n\nBerhati-hati Semasa Pandu Uji\n\n\nKita sering mendengar berita tentang kecurian kereta yang berlaku kepada penjual. Dengan mengambil langkah keselamatan yang ringkas, anda boleh mengurangkan kemungkinan berlakunya kejadian ini secara drastik.\n\n\nLangkah yang boleh anda lakukan termasuklah berada di dalam kereta semasa sesi pandu uji, bukan sahaja untuk keselamatan, tetapi juga untuk menjawab sebarang pertanyaan daripada pembeli.\n\n\nSebaik-baiknya, bawa juga ahli keluarga atau rakan yang boleh dipercayai untuk sesi pandu uji. Lebih ramai, lebih selamat. Untuk langkah keselamatan tambahan, anda boleh menyimpan kad pengenalan atau lesen memandu pembeli sebagai langkah berjaga-jaga.\n\n\nJual & Beli Kereta Dengan CARSOME Untuk Ketenangan Fikiran\n\n\nPengalaman Membeli Yang Sangat Mudah\n\n\nBagi mereka yang tidak biasa membeli atau menjual kereta, ia boleh menjadi pengalaman yang menakutkan.

Electric vehicles like cars, motorcycles, scooters, and buses are not only environmentally friendly but are also cheaper in the long run. The electricity \ncost\n to power them is generally low, especially in Malaysia, and they are cheaper to maintain since they don\u2019t have a combustion engine with hundreds of moving parts. Not only that, but you also get to enjoy a quieter, more enjoyable driving experience.\n\n\nWith two-wheelers being a popular mode of transportation in Malaysia, we\u2019re also seeing more electric scooters and motorcycles on our roads. Here are the advantages of owning an electric motorcycle or e-motorcycle in Malaysia, and the top two-wheeled EVs available to us now.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTable of Contents\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nE-Scooters: Making Commuting Easy\n\n\nWhy Electric Motorcycles are Better than Conventional Ones\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstant Torque & Power\n\n\nProvides More Comfort\n\n\nTuning & Updates\n\n\nConvenient to Run & Maintain\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElectric Motorcycle Road Tax Rate in Malaysia\n\n\nElectric Motorcycles in Malaysia Right Now\n\n\n\n\nBlueshark R1 & R1 Lite\n\n\nSur-Ron Light Bee X\n\n\nBMW CE 04\n\n\nEbixon TailG\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nE-Scooters: Making Commuting Easy\n\n\nAs Malaysia moves toward greater mobility for all, different transportation modes are cropping up, offering commuters more options to help get them to where they need to be. One of them is the electric scooter (e-scooter), often available via scooter-sharing apps such as Beam. \n\n\n\n\nYou will be able to find these e-scooters all around town, especially near public train and bus stations around commercial areas, and even famous tourist spots. Increasingly, someone on a scooter will cruise past you on the pavement. To access one of these scooters, all you need to do is download the app, find the designated parking spots for these scooters, and scan the QR code on it to unlock and ride it.\n\n\nElectric scooters or e-scooters are mainly used for commuting, especially in Klang Valley. They connect people from one station to another, from home to your workplace, and also help tourists who wish to see everything Kuala Lumpur has to offer. As traffic can be terrible during rush hours and weekends in Kuala Lumpur, these scooters are the faster, better alternative to motorcycle taxis, taxis, and cars.\n\n\nNote: e-scooters are not allowed to be used on public roads as it is dangerous and could cause accidents. Violators caught riding one on public roads or highways can be fined RM300 for the first offense and RM1,000 or three months jail for subsequent offenses. If you have to use an e-scooter on public roads, you will need to apply for a special license from JPJ. You are still allowed to ride in gazetted areas such as playgrounds and permitted areas around shopping centers.\n\n\nRead More: \nOra Good Cat: Why It\u2019s One of the Most Important EVs in Malaysia\n\n\n\n\nWhy Electric Motorcycles are Better than Conventional Ones\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstant Torque & Power\n\n\nWhile gas-powered engines take longer to power up and reach peak torque, requiring the engine to be spinning at high rpm (revolutions per minute), electric motors can output their peak power and torque instantly from 0 rpm and maintain consistent power and torque through the entire rpm range too. In the real world, that means electric motorcycles have better acceleration which is useful when overtaking and climbing a hill, especially in heavy traffic.\n\n\nRead More: \nAll the EV Charging Station Apps For A Greener Road Trip\n\n\n\n\nProvides More Comfort\n\n\nCompared to conventional ones, electric motorcycles don\u2019t vibrate or shake while riding or when you are stopped at a red light. Yes, there are many gas engines that provide additional counter-balances that reduce vibrations, but that adds complexity and cost without totally eliminating the vibration. You also don\u2019t have to worry about accidentally burning yourself on the hot exhaust header.\n\n\n\n\nTuning & Updates\n\n\nOne of the best parts about owning an electric motorcycle is it\u2019s easier to customize its performance to suit your needs. Some bikes have an inbuilt performance profile customizer where you can adjust the power and behavior of the motor. Then there are also electric motorcycles that can be tuned by plugging them into a laptop. Compared to petrol-powered motorcycles, there are no carburetors to mess with, and no engine timing or injector profiles to adjust.\n\n\nMost electric motorcycles also receive regular over-the-air (OTA) updates bringing new features, improved rideability, safety, and other goodies, similar to how you\u2019d update your smartphone. That way, your bike can stay relevant for longer and continuously improve itself.\n\n\nRead More: \nH\nybrid Cars in Malaysia: Here\u2019s Everything You Need to Know\n\n\n\n\nConvenient to Run & Maintain\n\n\nWith an electric motorcycle, you don\u2019t have to worry about running out of fuel. You can easily use your own charging station in your house or garage to charge your bike\u2019s batteries. And since electric motorcycle batteries are much smaller than those in electric cars, they take a shorter time to charge, often three to five hours depending on the battery capacity.\u00a0\n\n\nSome electric motorcycles in Malaysia, like the Blueshark R1 even have compact, removable batteries that you can swap with a fresh battery at a battery swapping station. Maintaining an electric motorcycle is generally easier and cheaper than a conventional one since there are fewer parts to maintain. And that can offset the higher price of electric motorcycles in Malaysia.\n\n\n\n\nElectric Motorcycle Road Tax Rate in Malaysia\n\n\nThere\u2019s a boom of EVs in Malaysia including motorcycles, as evident with the increasing availability of electric motorcycles here. Other than the advantages of riding an EV motorcycle, the Malaysian government has provided tax incentives and free \nroad tax\n for all EVs \u2013 motorcycles and cars included.\n\n\nAll electric motorcycles in Malaysia currently enjoy free road tax until the end of 2025. After that, their road tax will be charged according to their motor output in watts (W) as displayed below.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElectric Motorcycle Motor Output*\n\n\nRoad Tax Rate\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUp to 7,500 W\n\n\nRM2\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7,501 W \u2013 10,000 W\n\n\nRM9\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10,001 W \u2013 12,500 W\n\n\nRM12\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12,501 W \u2013 25,000 W\n\n\nRM30\n\n\n\n\n\n\n25,001 W \u2013 40,000 W\n\n\nRM40\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOver 40,000 W\n\n\nRM42\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n* 1,000 W equals to 1 kW or 1.36 PS.\n\n\n\n\nElectric Motorcycles in Malaysia Right Now\n\n\nWhether you call them electric motorcycles, e-motorcycles, or e-bikes, there\u2019s no denying their appeal and advantages over petrol-powered ones. Here are some of the most exciting electric motorcycles currently available or coming soon to Malaysia.\n\n\n\n\n1.

Every weekend, there seems to be a brand new EV released either from China or in Malaysia. The current state of the automotive industry has been drastically shifting itself to a camaraderie of an electrical lineup. As of January 2022, \nPaultan.org reports\n that only 274 EVs have been sold in Malaysia despite having tax incentives and exemptions offered by the government which you can \nread more about here\n.\n\n\nOne current feature pioneered by EVs in all of their cars is the \nself-driving feature\n. For the uninitiated, Self-Driving or Autopilot, similar to the ones used in big airplanes, is software installed to autonomously assist the driver in getting from Point A to B based on the location provided. This feature was first pioneered by Tesla in their models and sequentially, other manufacturers like Kia, Mercedes, and Volvo started following suit too. EVs and Electric Self-Driving Cars are soon going to be the norm. However, is Malaysia really prepared to embrace EVs yet? Let\u2019s take a look at this one incident that happened in the country a while back.\u00a0\n\n\nSetting the Stage for Electric Self-Driving Cars\n\n\nEarlier in March this year when the Malaysia/Singapore Border recently opened up, a couple from Singapore recorded their entire road trip from \nSingapore all the way to Penang\n, with their Tesla on Autopilot. The dealbreaker for this whole event is the driver did not have their hands on the steering wheel as depicted in the photo. This was not the first isolated case around the world. Electric Self-Driving Cars have been making waves due to people abusing the feature be it for \nconvenience\n, or for \nnefarious purposes\n.\u00a0\n\n\nAlthough we do not have laws to regulate Electric Self-Driving Cars, the couple was still under investigation by the police as quoted by Bukit Aman Chief Assistant Director of Traffic Investigations and Enforcement (JSPT) Superintendent Dr. Bakri Zainal Abidin according to \nGuangming Daily. \n\u00a0He further stressed that the Land Traffic Act 1959 insists that drivers must drive well, be careful and concentrate. Thus, a driver must be of sound mind, while having their hands on the steering wheel for the whole journey.\u00a0\n\n\nWhile there are no laws that govern autonomous driving, Superintendent Dr. Bakri Zainal told the reporters at Guangming Daily that hands-free driving can make the driver and occupants completely oblivious to their surroundings. Furthermore, he added that Tesla\u2019s Autopilot system is not completely foolproof. He also quoted an incident where a couple from California was killed in a car crash when the autopilot system failed.\n\n\nElectric Self Driving Cars still remain \na novelty\n among Malaysian drivers due to their relatively new introduction onto Malaysian roads. However, a new debate arises on electric self-driving cars, how well would they fare on our roads? First off, let\u2019s start by discussing the driving habits most Malaysian drivers exhibit.\u00a0\n\n\nMalaysian Driving Habits Make it Difficult to Adopt Self-Driving Cars\n\n\nIf there\u2019s one thing Malaysia is famous for, it\u2019s our driving habits. Time and time again, Malaysia has been ranked globally by firms and research institutions as one of the top 10 most dangerous countries to drive in. I mean, have you driven in Klang or Penang before?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n1. Malaysia ranks as the eighth most dangerous country to drive in, according to a study conducted by driver\u2019s education firm Zutobi.\n\n\nThe study, which analysed 52 countries, gave Malaysia an overall safety score of only 5.63 out of 10. \nhttps://t.co/GregaEQuze\n \npic.twitter.com/m6aE6Fsnlz\n\n\n\u2014 BFM News (@NewsBFM) \nMay 14, 2022\n\n\n\n\nThe \nMinistry of Transport reports\n that on average, 18 people are killed in road accidents daily. This can be backed by looking no further than the number of accidents captured by dashcam videos that surface on Malaysian Facebook daily. In addition, Malaysian Daily recently reported that at least \n42% of our drivers do not feel safe\n on the road. Let\u2019s be honest, how many drivers are still seen with a phone in their hand and speeding despite all the harsh warnings and \npunishments\n? Or better yet, how many motorcyclists are still \nriding carefreely\n on the road?\u00a0\n\n\nHowever, this goes both ways for Electric Self-Driving Cars too. There are numerous fatalities reported from \nTesla\u2019s Autopilot System crashing\n and killing two people in the United States. As of this year, the Washington Post reports 273 fatalities were caused by Tesla\u2019s Autopilot system. Clearly, our current technology isn\u2019t as perfect as we thought it would be. Now picture a malfunctioning Tesla Autopilot meeting a bad driver together on our roads. Like Mentos in a bottle of coke, it\u2019ll spell a recipe for disaster.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nPeculiar and Dangerous Driving Habits in Malaysia\n\n\nEndless Potholes like No Tomorrow\n\n\nIt\u2019s also no secret that Malaysian roads have more holes than a slice of Swiss cheese. Occasionally, these potholes can \nclaim fatalities\n from unsuspecting motorcyclists. Unless you\u2019re someone of \nimportant status\n who suffers an injury from tripping over one, don\u2019t expect them to be fixed anytime soon. To make matters worse, as of 2020, \nThe Star reported\n that there are more than 50,000 potholes reported by Waze users in Selangor alone! Given that this was two years ago, it\u2019s safe to say those numbers have increased by now.\u00a0\n\n\nFor Electric Self-Driving Cars, Tesla recently just rolled out a software update on their cars to detect potholes and adapt to them. With its Active Suspension System, Tesla states that the car will automatically adjust its ride height if it detects rough road conditions ahead. Note that this feature is only available to models with Adaptive Suspension installed like the \nnew Model S and Model X.\n\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lixk_x5AVyQ\n\n\nSelf-driving cars don\u2019t even \ntry to avoid potholes\n; they just drive slowly over them.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat is the future for Electric Self-Driving Cars in Malaysia?\n\n\nWill Electric Self-Driving Cars be fully utilized in Malaysia? We really can\u2019t tell from these challenges.

Friction between your car\u2019s tyres and the road? That\u2019s a good thing. Without it, your car wouldn\u2019t be able to move or come to a halt.\n\n\nOf course, friction isn\u2019t required everywhere in a vehicle. A case in point would be the engine. Friction between the piston and the cylinder wall isn\u2019t a good thing. It produces excessive heat and doesn\u2019t allow the engine to run smoothly.\n\n\nThis is precisely why \nengine oil\n is necessary. It reduces the frictional forces between the engine\u2019s internal parts and allows them to move smoothly. Less wear and reduced heat from friction mean a happy engine.\n\n\n\n\nIn addition to engine oil, you might have read online about engine oil additives that, as the name suggests, is mixed together with the oil to complement its function and raise performance.\n\n\nHowever, the jury is still out on whether engine oil additives are necessary and actually bring benefits or are they just automotive snake oil. Here, we\u2019ll take a look at the types of engine oil additives on the market as well as the pros and cons.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nHow to Check the 6 Essential Car Oils & Fluids\n\n\nPurpose of Oil Additives\n\n\nThe general consensus is that engine oil itself already contains all the necessary chemical compounds to perform its intended duty. Therefore, the question arises \u2013 why the need for engine oil additives?\n\n\nSimply put, we don\u2019t believe that the branded engine oil additives in the market are actually bad for your engine or cause harm. However, the benefits, if any, are difficult to distinguish and could come at a cost in other areas of the oil\u2019s performance.\n\n\nBear in mind though that oil additives aren\u2019t regulated in the same manner that engine oils are.\n\n\nOil additives are purported to augment the engine oil\u2019s formula and improve a particular aspect of the engine\u2019s performance such as improving fuel consumption or providing better wear protection.\n\n\nYou might be wondering why a new engine might need this and you\u2019d be right to question that. This brings us to the part about selecting the right additive if you\u2019re going down that route.\n\n\nBefore that, let\u2019s take a look at the most common types of additives in the market.\n\n\nTypes of Additives\n\n\n\n\n1. Viscosity Index Improvers\n\n\nAs the name suggests, this additive will chemically alter the oil\u2019s viscosity to maintain more consistency. Cold and hot temperatures can cause the oil\u2019s viscosity to vary and the additive\u2019s purpose here is to try and maintain said viscosity within the stated performance range.\n\n\n2. Anti-wear Additives\n\n\nHere, the engine oil additive will form a protective coating on the surface of the engine\u2019s internals to reduce wear and tear. The anti-wear agents are usually zinc and phosphorus. Besides providing anti-wear protection, it also neutralizes acids and prevents condensation and oxidation that further reduces the oil\u2019s ability to lubricate.\n\n\n3. Detergents\n\n\nAs the oil runs within your engine, it will absorb impurities and acids that will form solid deposits on the surface of the internal parts. This is never a good thing and it creates rough surfaces between the moving parts. The additive here serves to make the impurities soluble so they don\u2019t stick to the affected surfaces.\n\n\n4. Lubricating Additives\n\n\nThe majority of the wear in an engine happens during a cold start. As the oil isn\u2019t up to operating temperature yet, it wouldn\u2019t be able to properly coat the surfaces and hence, additional wear is incurred. This additive clings to the surface of the internals and reduces friction as well as wear during a cold start.\n\n\nRead More:\u00a0\nThings to Check When You Service Your Car\n\n\nDoes My Car Really Need an Engine Oil Additive?\n\n\nNew cars with modern oils will likely not require an additive. However, using the right one could help increase the engine\u2019s lifespan as well as reduce wear and tear in the long run.\n\n\n\n\nOn older vehicles that have likely surpassed the six-figure mark in terms of mileage, there\u2019s likely a drop in performance and an increase in fuel consumption. While an additive won\u2019t turn back time, it could slow down the clock and drop the rate of damage so your engine will run a little longer before requiring any major work. It\u2019s no cure but more of a band-aid solution at this point.\n\n\nTherefore, if you\u2019re using an older vehicle with plenty of kilometers on the clock, you can consider an engine oil additive if a certain aspect of your engine\u2019s performance is lacking.\n\n\nWhich Oil Additive Is Right for My Car?\n\n\nFirst things first, using an oil additive doesn\u2019t mean you can stretch the period between scheduled oil changes as recommended by the manufacturer. Furthermore, you also shouldn\u2019t switch to a lesser oil with the mindset that the additive will improve its performance to match a much more premium option and save some Ringgit.\n\n\nWith that out of the way, you can consider an additive if your older vehicle is showing signs of wear and tear. As we mentioned earlier, it might help stretch the engine\u2019s lifespan a little longer at most.\n\n\nBear in mind though that the long-term side effects aren\u2019t fully documented. For instance, if you pick one of the four types of additives detailed above, it might alter other aspects of the oil and reduce performance in some of those segments.\n\n\nAgain, we\u2019re not saying that all additives do that but results are few and far between for anything to be set in stone.\n\n\nConclusion\n\n\nTo sum it up, the majority of engine oil additives aren\u2019t damaging to your engine but given the lack of tangible evidence that they bring benefits, it\u2019s probably best to just keep away from them.\n\n\nInstead, spend that money on getting a more premium oil in the first place that should get the job done just fine. Cheap oils will lack some of the chemicals that function in the same manner as adding in the additive so a proper, premium oil will have all the right chemicals and characteristics to protect your engine.\n\n", "Amarnath", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

If you didn\u2019t, it is important to learn up. Engine oil lubricates the engine\u2019s moving parts so that it reduces the effects of heat, and wear and tear of an engine\u2019s parts. Of course it also protects the engine against corrosion and rusting, cools the engine\u2019s operating temperature and helps remove contaminants such as impurities from fuel and soot from incomplete combustion.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    While this may be common knowledge, a recent survey by Bosch Automotive Aftermarket Malaysia that polled 1,036 Malaysian drivers found that 60 per cent of them do not keep a regular schedule for engine oil maintenance.\n\n\n\n\n    Pang Yoon Kong, Country Manager of Bosch AA Malaysia mentions that following to the routine oil change is vital for both the performance and health of your vehicle. If not, this could pose a long term problem, with the most common being engine overheating and worse, a very costly engine replacement. \u201cThe standard interval for oil change is every 8,000 km or six months whichever comes first for fully synthetic, and 5,000 km or six months for all other types of oils and older vehicles. Ultimately, we strongly advise following the vehicle manufacturer\u2019s recommended service interval and engine oil specifications,\u201d said Pang.\n\n\n\n\n    \u201cIf you notice significant engine clanking noises, higher engine oil consumption than usual, or that the colour of the engine oil has turned black during a dipstick check despite the oil level still being high, please get your car inspected immediately. These are tell-tale signs of engine problems that may be caused by multiple factors aside from a simple leaky gasket,\u201d he added.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    There are three types of engine oils \u2013 mineral, semi-synthetic, and fully-synthetic. Mineral oils are generally derived from refined crude oil, while fully-synthetic oils are man-made in the lab; semi-synthetic oils are a blend of the two. Every engine is different; therefore, it is important to use the appropriate grade of engine oil based on the car engine\u2019s specifications as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    How can you avoid disruptions to your travel plans when on the road? Bosch insists on having Malaysians check their engine oil levels regularly with a service schedule on their oil change.

Namun begitu,\u00a0jika tersilap langkah atau tanpa tips beli kereta terpakai yang betul, ia boleh menyebabkan anda terikat dengan liabiliti hutang jangka masa panjang.\n\n\nBanyak perkara yang difikirkan sebelum membeli kereta antaranya kos penyelenggaraan, komitmen bulanan, kos minyak dan sebagainya. Namun begitu, membeli kereta terpakai tidaklah semudah yang disangka lebih-lebih lagi jika tiada pengetahuan yang betul. Carsome membantu anda dengan menyenaraikan 10 tips beli kereta terpakai yang boleh anda ikuti.\n\n\n\n\nTips, Perkara yang Perlu Anda Tahu Sebelum Beli Kereta Terpakai\n\n\nKereta terpakai \u2013 tidak kira apa jua jenama, jika kena dan betul caranya boleh menjadi suatu pelaburan jangka panjang yang menguntungkan. Namun begitu, jika tersilap langkah ia boleh menjadi suatu beban kewangan yang mungkin boleh mengganggu aliran kewangan dan merugikan anda:\n\n\n1. Tetapkan Bajet\n\n\nTip yang paling penting sebelum anda membuat keputusan untuk beli kereta \nsecond hand\n atau kereta terpakai ialah dengan menetapkan bajet yang bersesuaian mengikut tahap kewangan dan kemampuan anda. Anda boleh mengetahui jenis model bersesuaian yang boleh dibeli berdasarkan bajet yang anda tetapkan seperti kereta terpakai yang boleh dibeli pada \nharga bawah RM100,000\n. Atau, anda juga boleh menetapkan had bayaran bulanan pinjaman yang mampu dibayar seperti RM400-RM500 sebulan dengan tempoh bayaran sehingga lima (5) tahun bergantung pada jumlah komitmen bulanan sedia ada anda.\n\n\nTips Beli Kereta Terpakai \u2013 Formula Gaji Beli Kereta\n\n\n1. Pastikan harga kereta tidak melebihi gaji tahunan anda. Jika anda bergaji RM2,700 \u2013 harga kereta yang boleh dibeli mestilah tidak melebih RM32,400 (RM2,700 X 12 bulan).\n\n2. Ansurans bulanan tidak melebihi 15% daripada gaji bulanan anda. Jika lebih rendah, lebih baik. Dengan gaji RM2,700, ansuran bulanan yang ideal adalah antara RM400-RM500 sebulan.\n\n3. Beli kereta mengikut keperluan, bukan mengikut kehendak.\n\n\nSelain itu, anda boleh gunakan\n kalkulator pinjaman\n atau \nloan calculator\n untuk membantu anda menganggarkan bayaran bulanan mengikut bajet yang ditetapkan.\n\n\n2. Survei \nOnline\n\n\nDalam zaman yang serba canggih ini, maklumat berkaitan kereta terpakai kini boleh didapati secara dalam talian tanpa perlu ke premis kereta terpakai. Anda boleh layari pelbagai platform dalam talian yang menawarkan urusan \njual beli kereta terpakai\n. Anda juga turut disarankan untuk tidak terus menuju ke premis kereta terpakai tanpa melakukan tinjauan secara \nonline\n terlebih dahulu. Ini kerana, \nskill\n atau kemahiran memujuk yang dimiliki oleh penjual kereta terpakai mungkin boleh \u2018memukau\u2019 anda tanpa anda sedari sekali gus membuatkan anda membuat keputusan tanpa memikirkan had bajet yang telah ditetapkan.\n\n\nSelain itu, platform dalam talian juga membolehkan anda menetapkan \u2018\nfilter\n\u2019 mengikut kesesuaian dan keperluan anda. Anda hanya perlu masukkan bajet yang anda tetapkan dan sistem akan memaparkan pilihan model kereta terpakai yang berada dalam lingkungan bajet anda sahaja.\n\n\n3. Tetapkan Usia Kereta\n\n\nSama seperti bajet, menetapkan had usia kereta terpakai yang ingin dibeli ialah antara tips beli kereta terpakai yang anda perlu tahu. Misalnya, dengan bajet sebanyak RM20,000, anda akan disajikan dengan pelbagai pilihan kereta terpakai yang boleh anda miliki. Oleh itu, untuk mengelakkan anda daripada rambang mata, kecilkan skop pilihan kereta terpakai dengan menetapkan usia kereta (seperti usia kereta tidak melebihi 5 tahun). Namun begitu, jika tiada model kereta yang dipaparkan yang menepati pilihan anda, sesuaikan carian mengikut keadaan dan pilihan anda. Untuk rekod, 79% kereta yang dijual kepada Carsome berusia antara 6 hingga 8 tahun. Manakala, 6% terdiri daripada kereta terpakai yang berusia antara 3 hingga 5 tahun dan 15% untuk kereta terpakai yang berusia antara 9 hingga 11 tahun.\n\n\n\n\n4. Had Perbatuan/\nMileage\n\n\nSecara amnya, semakin tinggi nilai perbatuan semakin rendah nilai jualan sesebuah kereta terpakai. Jika anda ingin membeli kereta terpakai, pastikan anda memilih kereta dengan had perbatuan yang rendah atau sederhana. Namun semestinya, had perbatuan ini adalah tertakluk pada bajet dan usia model kereta yang ingin dibeli.\n\n\n5. Periksa Sejarah Kereta\n\n\nPastikan anda periksa sejarah kereta sebelum membuat keputusan untuk membeli mana-mana kereta terpakai. Kebiasaannya, kereta terpakai yang dijual pada harga yang lebih murah berbanding harga pasaran mungkin ada sejarah tersendiri yang tersembunyi. Selidik terlebih dahulu sama ada kereta yang ingin dibeli pernah ditenggelami banjir, banyak kali bertukar pemilik (3-5 orang), pernah terlibat dalam kemalangan besar atau mempunyai had perbatuan terlalu tinggi.\n\n\nElakkan diri anda daripada ditipu. Bahagian luaran kereta mungkin tampil cantik dan sempurna, namun ragam sebenar kereta biasanya hanya boleh diketahui selepas beberapa bulan menggunakannya.\n\n\n\n\n6. Dapatkan Jadual Servis\n\n\nKereta yang diservis secara konsisten mengikut jadual yang ditetapkan menunjukkan kereta yang ingin dibeli berada dalam jagaan yang baik. Jika boleh, cari pemilik kereta yang setia menggunakan perkhidmatan pusat servis jenama masing-masing. Ini kerana, pusat servis merekodkan sejarah servis menggunakan buku atau sistem tersendiri. Maklumat penyelenggaraan kereta adalah penting untuk mengetahui dengan lebih mendalam mengenai kereta yang ingin dibeli sama ada maklumat berkaitan jenis alat ganti yang pernah ditukar atau rekod kerosakan besar seperti kotak gear atau enjin.\n\n\nAnda juga boleh meminta pertolongan rakan-rakan (jika ada) yang bekerja di pusat servis untuk memeriksa rekod servis pemilik terdahulu di dalam sistem. Selain itu, anda juga boleh meminta rekod penyelenggaraan atau resit alat ganti daripada pemilik sebagai bukti jika pemilik berurusan di bengkel biasa.\n\n\n7. Periksa Bahagian Luar dan Dalam Kereta\n\n\nMembeli kereta terpakai bukanlah seperti membeli sayur-sayuran atau buah-buahan di pasar malam. Anda perlu sedikit cerewet sebelum membuat keputusan. Ini kerana, setelah anda membeli kereta tersebut, tiada lagi yang boleh anda lakukan apatah lagi menyesali keputusan yang telah dibuat. Periksa sama ada terdapat sebarang kerosakan atau kecacatan tidak kira di bahagian dalaman atau luaran kereta yang ingin dibeli.\n\n\nCuba untuk berunding bagi mendapatkan diskaun jika anda mengesan sebarang kerosakan dan pemilik tidak ingin mengeluarkan sebarang kos untuk membaikinya \u2013 cat semula badan kereta memerlukan kira-kira RM2,000 hingga RM4000 bergantung pada model kereta. Upah ketuk badan kereta untuk membaiki kesan kemek pula boleh memakan kos serendah RM150 dan ke atas mengikut tahap kemek. Manakala, kotoran pada kusyen yang perlu dicuci boleh menelan belanja sehingga RM200.\n\n\n\n\n8. Periksa Kelengkapan dan Peralatan Asas Lain\n\n\nPastikan anda periksa kelengkapan dan peralatan asas kereta seperti signal, \nwiper\n, lampu, soket dan sebagainya berada dalam keadaan baik. Jika anda tidak berpuas hati dengan kualiti kereta terpakai yang ingin dibeli, cari kereta terpakai lain sehinggalah anda menjumpai kereta terpakai yang setanding dan berbaloi dengan harga yang dibayar. Tidak salah untuk lebih berhati-hati dan berkira-kira sebelum membuat keputusan besar terutamanya melibatkan pembelian kereta sebegini. Selain itu, anda juga boleh periksa perkara-perkara berikut sebelum membuat keputusan:\n\n\n\n\nLampu tinggi dan rendah, lampu kabus, lambu kabin dan lampu amaran (\nhazard light\n);\n\n\nPenyaman udara;\n\n\nHon kereta;\n\n\nRadio dan pemain cakera padat (CD) atau skrin sentuh;\n\n\nPemegang pintu dan kompartmen hadapan kereta;\n\n\nSuis \npower window\n, cermin sisi;\n\n\nSoket 2.4V atau palam pencucuh;\n\n\nPicu tangki minyak, bonet dan but kereta;\n\n\nTali pinggang keledar dan pelaras tempat duduk;\n\n\nTayar simpanan dan kotak alatan;\n\n\nIndikator pada panel meter menyala dan terpadam (beg udara, enjin, ABS dan sebagainya).\n\n\n\n\n9. Periksa Enjin\n\n\nSetelah berpuas hati dengan bahagian luaran dah dalaman kereta \u2013 periksa enjin. Sekiranya anda kurang berpengetahuan terutamanya melibatkan perkara berkaitan teknikal, minta bantuan rakan anda yang mahir mengenainya atau rakan anda yang bekerja sebagai mekanik kereta untuk mengelakkan anda daripada ditipu. Jika tidak, anda juga boleh ke mana-mana bengkel berdekatan dan minta pertolongan daripada mekanik untuk membantu anda memeriksa kereta yang ingin dibeli (bayaran dikenakan bergantung pada mekanik).\n\n\nMekanik kereta mempunyai pengetahuan yang luas mengenai kereta sehinggakan ada di antara mereka yang mendengar bunyi enjin sahaja sudah memadai untuk mengetahui kerosakan yang berlaku pada kereta. Namun begitu, jika anda ingin periksa sendiri kereta anda, perkara-perkara berikut mungkin boleh dijadikan panduan:\n\n\n\n\nPeriksa sama ada terdapat kesan minyak bocor;\n\n\nRadiator berada dalam keadaan baik, buka penutup untuk melihat tahap kekeruhan air radiator;\n\n\nTiada kabel sambungan elektrik yang reput atau terputus;\n\n\nTiada komponen yang tertanggal, haus atau rosak;\n\n\nPeriksa minyak enjin.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10. Pandu Uji\n\n\nTidak kira sama anda anda berunding terus dengan pemilik atau penjual kereta terpakai, anda mempunyai hak untuk memandu uji kenderaan yang ingin dibeli. Minta kebenaran pihak penjual untuk pandu uji kereta yang ingin dibeli untuk memberikan anda kepuasan dan keyakinan sebelum membuat keputusan:\n\n\n\n\nUji brek kereta secara perlahan dan lakukan brek kecemasan. Kenal pasti jika ada sebarang bunyi pelik semasa membrek;\n\n\nUji stereng semasa selekoh (selekoh tajam atau selekoh biasa). Kenal pasti sama ada terdapat sebarang bunyi semasa membelok atau memutar stereng;\n\n\nPandu uji di kawasan yang tidak rata. Ia bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti sebarang bunyi seperti pada bahagian kompartmen dan sebagainya;\n\n\nPandu dalam pelbagai kelajuan untuk menguji bunyi angin, gegaran enjin atau stereng dan sistem suspensi kereta;\n\n\nUji gear kereta \u2013 jika transmisi manual (gear 1-5/6), manakala jika transmisi automatik \u2013masukkan gear D4, D3 atau D2 termasuk R. Pastikan gear bergerak lancar dan tidak tersekat-sekat.\n\n\n\n\nKami berharap perkongsian tips beli kereta terpakai ini dapat membantu anda untuk membuat keputusan dan memudahkan urusan pembelian kereta terpakai anda. Namun begitu, jika anda ingin \nmembeli kereta terpakai\n \ndengan mudah, layari laman web\n Carsome \nuntuk info lanjut.

This could be from vehicle to vehicle, cars with pedestrians, trucks with motorcycles and much more. Off late, there have been many recorded accidents in Malaysia with the latest news as a tragedy that has shocked the nation. These are accidents that could have been avoided, as many are caused by human error and the complete lack of responsibility on affected parties.\n\n\nWhat are the main causes for car accidents? Read on to agree.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSpeeding & Speeding in The Rain\n\n\n\n\nAny motorway in Malaysia is not a licensed race track for anyone to drive over the limit on, even more so when it rains and visibility is low. Speed limit is 110km/h on expressways and 90km/h on federal roads and could be at 50 or 60km/h on various other roads. You can be fined up to RM300 for going over 40km/h on top of any speed limit, and risk accumulating demerit points which can see your license revoked up to six months on your first offence or your license revoked at a third offence. Worse yet, if your license is suspended and you attempt to drive and get pulled over, you will incur a RM1,000 fine or a six-month prison sentence. Remember, you\u2019re not on the set of the next Fast and Furious movie. Speeding not only kills, but it also affects families on both parties. Remember the Myvi-Pajero accident?\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDriving Drunk or Under the Influence\n\n\n\n\nWe probably don\u2019t have to tell you why this is important. When you\u2019re intoxicated, you shouldn\u2019t operate machinery \u2013 whether it be an electric saw or a car. And when we say that many drive and ride drunk after hours, it is so common until the inevitable happens. Should you incur a breathalyser test and found to be over the prescribed limit of 35 microgrammes of alcohol in 100ml of breath, it is RM1,000 or up to RM6,000 and jail of up to 12 months. You\u2019d probably be wondering how much is 35 microgrammes or more? It is approximately about a little over two cans of beer or two glasses of wine. This also depends on the physique of the individual and alcohol tolerance. Take a taxi or get someone to drive you. It\u2019s not worth it. Also remember that effective 1 December 2017, the legal age limit for alcohol has been raised to 21.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nUsing the Phone While Driving\n\n\n\n\nThis one comes almost as a no brainer. Why? Because using the phone while driving is one of two things. The first is that it distracts the driver from paying full attention on the road, and secondly is because it takes one hand off the wheel. In fact, an experimental test by the Mythbusters themselves proved that using the phone while driving came out worse than driving under the influence because of the main two reasons above. Your calls and texts can wait. Oh and also using your mobile phone while waiting at the traffic lights is also a no-no.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBeating the Red Light\n\n\n\n\nThe Amber light is not an indicator to speed up as many drivers are used to. It\u2019s for drivers to slow down. A well-publicised accident a few years ago in Singapore involving a Ferrari that crashed into a taxi took the lives of three people is one that saddens us. And when you realise that almost half a million summonses were issued in 2015 for beating the red light in KL, you start to realise how common the offence is. The risks aren\u2019t worth it seriously.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nChanging Lanes without Signalling\n\n\n\n\nThe reason why all vehicles have built in signals is not for show. It\u2019s to provide the vehicles around you an indication on where you are intending to move to. Think of it, would you rather get into an accident when the only cause was not using that turn signal?\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDriving an Unmaintained Vehicle\n\n\nCredit: aamcocolorado\n\n\nThis is more of the lack of vehicle maintenance which could in turn cause an accident. Cars are machines that need to be upkept to ensure they\u2019re at their best. If your tyres are balding, get them replaced. Check your brake fluid, turn signals and the works especially if your vehicle is equipped with the latest in tech as all these could fail over time.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIrresponsible Pedestrians\n\n\n\n\nShortcuts causes accidents. Only cross the road when there\u2019s a pedestrian crossing available and prevent yourself from jaywalking. It doesn\u2019t end well when a moving car meets pedestrian. Seriously.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDriving Without Good Judgment\n\n\n\n\nBeing a defensive driver will most probably prevent you from getting into accidents in the first place. Always be alert to anticipate accidents \u2013 whether it be a child running across the street, an oncoming vehicle beating the red light, or even vehicles at blind spots and corners.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWe at Carsome believe in road safety and responsible driving always.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nJust as being a defensive driver important, improving your visibility on the road is just the same. \nClick here\n to find out 7 Simple Ways To Improve Your Visibility On The Road.\n\n", "Tags\nDriving\nTips", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

It may seem cool and all but once you have to drive through rural areas, that\u2019s where \nrange anxiety\n kicks in.\u00a0\n\n\nOur EV charging station infrastructure is arguably still in its infancy stage with a lack of proper development. However, this seems to be changing. More charging stations are being built as part of the government\u2019s initiative to encourage \nEV ownership\n in Malaysia.\u00a0\n\n\nLuckily for EV owners, there are several apps available in Malaysia that can help make your \nbalik kampung\n journey smooth and \nstress-free\n. Here are all the EV charging station apps available to help you find EV chargers on your journey home.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nOra Good Cat: Why It\u2019s One of the Most Important EVs in Malaysia\n\n\n\n\nPlugshare\n\n\nBuilt around a community-based app, Plugshare allows user-generated input to build up a database of EV charging stations around the world. With its expansion to Malaysia, EV owners can now plan their trips around the country, especially for \nbalik kampung\n trips to rural areas. Plugshare allows users to locate nearby charging stations, and charging availability. It also allows users to check in/out and leave a review on the charging station.\n\n\n\n\nBeing a community-driven EV charging station app, you may come across power sockets located in someone\u2019s home if they\u2019re inclined to share them. But nevertheless, the ability to update the app with the precise location of the charging station is a huge bonus. For example, someone has left precise instructions on where to locate the EV charging station at our headquarters office for convenience.\u00a0\n\n\nAs of to date, there is no payment feature available on the app yet. Users will have to pay directly at the charging stations with their cards or via ChargeEV; another app.\u00a0\n\n\nA Better Route Planner (ABRP)\u00a0\n\n\nA Better Route Planner (ABRP) is a free trip-planning, EV charging station app that works just like Google Maps available on IOS and Android. The amount of user-friendly customization allows personalized input based on your vehicle\u2019s make and model even down to your \nbattery charge\n.\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThis writer is too broke to afford a Tesla Model 3 so let\u2019s just pretend I drive one here\u2026\n\n\nHow it works is if you leave your home with an 86% charge on a Tesla Model S, the app would estimate you will arrive at your destination with a 67% battery capacity. This will be beneficial to plan for your trip.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe charger locating feature can be unresponsive at times. I find using the desktop version of the app is much better.\n\n\nABRP also provides real-time information about rates and charger availability to let you plan your trip efficiently. If you have other EVs in the family, a premium subscription plan is available to register multiple EVs and save your trips for convenience.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nThe Cost of Owning & Driving an EV in Malaysia\n\n\nJomCharge\n\n\nJomCharge is a home-developed EV charging app that lets you locate and pay to recharge your vehicle. Similarly to ABRP, JomCharge has all your make and models of EVs. With its in-app map, it\u2019s easy to locate a charging station and the app will take you there via Google Maps or Waze. It also has a QR scan function synced up to your card of choice and lets you know which station down to the socket is occupied for your convenience.\u00a0\n\n\nJomCharge also offers a loyalty program that rewards users with points for every charging session, which can be redeemed for discounts or free charging sessions in the future. The app is available for free on both iOS and Android devices.\n\n\nRead More: \nWill Electric Self-Driving Cars Be Feasible in Malaysia?\n\n\nChargeEV\n\n\nChargeEV is another popular EV charging station app in Malaysia that offers a wide network of charging stations across the country. It allows users to search for charging stations, check availability, and pay for charging sessions directly through the app just like JomCharge.\u00a0\n\n\nChargeEV also offers a subscription-based membership program that provides additional benefits such as discounted charging rates and priority access to charging stations. The app is available for free on both iOS and Android devices.\n\n\nRead More: \nWhy It\u2019s Important to Service Your Car Before a Long Road Trip\n\n\nParkEasy\u00a0\n\n\nParkEasy is an oddball on this list because it\u2019s a parking app that also lets you reserve EV charging stations. It allows users to reserve parking spots with charging facilities in advance, ensuring that a charging station will be available upon arrival. ParkEasy also provides real-time information on charging station availability and pricing, making it easy for EV owners to plan their trips during Hari Raya. The app is available for free on both iOS and Android devices, with options to pay for parking and charging sessions directly through the app.\n\n\n\n\nNow you can hog parking slots \u201clegally\u201d!\n\n\nHowever, the caveat of this app is it\u2019s only useful around cities and metropolitan areas. Do use this with caution if you\u2019re taking a road trip to rural areas.\u00a0\n\n\nHonorable Mention\n\n\nSetel\u00a0\n\n\nSetel used to offer their app as a cashless method to pay for your fuel but recently they added a feature that locates EV Charging stations due to high demand. Just like any other EV Charging app, it tells you of the station and charger\u2019s occupancy. It also uses a built-in map feature that guides you to the nearest station via Google Maps (no Waze integration, sadly).\u00a0\n\n\nWhat makes Setel stand out from other apps is you can still pay for the charge in advance while it is occupied. You can do this for any EV charging station as long as it\u2019s part of the \nGentari EV\n network in Malaysia.\u00a0\n\n\nEveryone is excited to see their families safe and sound, with comfort in their hearts knowing that their children arrive safely back home. Please remember to obey traffic rules, and keep in mind that road accidents tend to surge during festive seasons.\u00a0\n\n\nConversely, if you\u2019re not ready for the EV lifestyle, there\u2019s always a wide variety of petrol cars from \nCARSOME\n!

Hanya 30 tahun jarak masa antara penciptaan kedua-dua kenderaan ini!\u00a0\n\n\n Sumber: Mercedez Benz\n\n\nKereta berkuasa petroleum pertama dicipta oleh Karl Benz pada tahun 1855 manakala kereta elektrik pertama dicipta oleh \nGustave Trouv\u00e9\n pada tahun 1881. Kedua-dua kenderaan ini terus mengalami evolusi namun penggunaan kereta berkuasa petroleum lebih meluas kerana:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nLebih mudah untuk mengisi petrol daripada menukar atau mengecas bateri.\n\n\nBateri pada zaman itu sangat besar dan tak sesuai untuk dipasang pada kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nKereta berkuasa petroleum lebih tahan lama.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKereta membakar petroleum dan mengeluarkan asap yang mengandungi gas karbon yang berbahaya kepada alam sekitar. Pelepasan gas karbon ini telah menyebabkan krisis cuaca yang membimbangkan. Anda boleh baca di berita dan media sosial tentang betapa bercelarunya cuaca sejak bermulanya dekad 2020-an.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSedar dengan perkembangan ini, kereta elektrik (EV) mula dipopularkan kembali. Kononnya EV ini lebih mesra alam kerana tidak mengeluarkan sebarang gas karbon ke persekitaran. Seterusnya tidak menyebabkan pencemaran kepada alam sekitar.\u00a0\n\n\nTapi betul ke apa yang dikatakan ini?\u00a0\n\n\nBetul Ke EV Mesra Alam?\u00a0\n\n\nKereta memerlukan tenaga untuk digerakkan. Antara bahan bakar paling banyak digunakan ialah petroleum. Pembakaran petroleum ini membebaskan gas karbon yang sangat berbahaya kepada alam sekitar. Gas karbon boleh menyebabkan berlakunya \npemanasan global dan perubahan cuaca\n.\u00a0\n\n\nLapisan ozon yang semakin menipis boleh menyebabkan bencana cuaca paling buruk kepada manusia! Perasan tak cuaca makin bercelaru sejak dua hingga tiga tahun kebelakangan ini? Itulah antara kesan pelepasan gas karbon. Manusia? Sudah tentu akan ikut terjejas bersama alam sekitar!\n\n\n\n\nKereta merupakan antara kenderaan yang paling banyak membakar petroleum. Penggunaan petroleum ini menyumbang kepada sehingga 4.6 tan metrik untuk setiap kereta. Ada lebih kurang 1.45 bilion kereta di seluruh dunia. Jadi, anda kiralah sendiri berapa banyak gas karbon dilepaskan ke alam sekitar setiap tahun.\u00a0\n\n\nKerana itulah EV dilihat sebagai antara alternatif terbaik kepada kereta berkuasa petroleum. EV didakwa tidak mengeluarkan gas karbon menjadikan ia lebih mesra alam. Tapi, betul ke ia lebih mesra alam?\u00a0\n\n\nJawapannya, ya dan juga tidak. Memang tak dinafikan EV ini tidak mengeluarkan langsung gas karbon semasa digunakan kerana ia menggunakan tenaga elektrik untuk menggerakkan motornya.\u00a0\n\n\nTetapi, kuasa elektrik EV ini disimpan di dalam bateri yang perlu dicas. Nak cas bateri EV ini memerlukan tenaga elektrik daripada soket tenaga. Jadi, bagaimana tenaga elektrik ini dijana?\u00a0\n\n\nDi Malaysia, elektrik dijana dengan beberapa kaedah. Melalui loji petroleum, gas asli, arang batu, hidroelektrik, dan juga solar. Penjanaan elektrik menggunakan arang batu mengeluarkan paling banyak gas karbon. Jadi, apa guna memandu EV jika tenaga elektrik dijana masih lagi menghasilkan gas karbon? Sama saja kan?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, bateri yang digunakan dalam EV bukanlah seperti bateri biasa. EV menggunakan bateri litium ion. Untuk menghasilkan bateri ini, beberapa unsur nadir diperlukan iaitu litium, kobalt, \ndan \nbeberapa unsur lain.\u00a0\n\n\nProses melombong unsur-unsur ini juga merosakkan alam sekitar dan mencemarkan sumber air. Untuk memproses unsur-unsur mentah ini kepada bateri juga boleh menyebabkan pencemaran alam sekitar.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDisebabkan inilah, kereta EV ini tidaklah sepenuhnya boleh dikatakan sebagai mesra alam. Walaupun tidak mengeluarkan gas karbon, ia masih mempunyai jejak karbon sepanjang proses untuk menghasilkannya.\u00a0\n\n\nMalah ada kajian yang mengatakan bahawa kereta berkuasa petrol sebenarnya lebih mesra alam jika nak dibandingkan dengan menggunakan EV.\u00a0\n\n\nMasa Depan EV\u00a0\n\n\nTidak dinafikan, EV mungkin akan menjadi antara pengangkutan utama di masa depan. Kenapa? Ini kerana petroleum merupakan sumber tenaga tak boleh diperbaharui dan bekalan petroleum akan habis juga suatu hari nanti.\u00a0\n\n\nWalau bagaimanapun, masalah-masalah pencemaran ketika menghasilkan EV ini masih lagi menjadi penghalang untuk menyakinkan orang ramai akan kebolehpercayaan EV ini untuk mengambil alih fungsi kenderaan berkuasa petroleum sepenuhnya.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSekarang, pelbagai kajian dijalankan untuk mewujudkan proses penghasilan bateri EV yang lebih mesra alam termasuklah mengitar semula bateri litium ion yang telah luput tenaganya tanpa perlu melombong bagi mendapatkan bekalan litium baharu.\u00a0\n\n\nDengan kemajuan teknologi yang ada sekarang ini, tak mustahil semua ini boleh dicapai dalam masa beberapa tahun saja.\u00a0\n\n\nMasalah Kedua EV: Kereta Untuk Bangsa Kayangan Saja?\u00a0\n\n\nApabila disebut tentang EV, dua benda akan muncul di kepala kebanyakan orang; pertama, mesra alam; kedua, mahal. Mahalnya bukan sedikit, tapi mahal \u2018gila\u2019!\u00a0\n\n\nAnda boleh tengok mana-mana jenama EV yang ada dalam pasaran. Harga kebanyakannya bukan mampu milik tapi hanya mampu tengok saja. Antara yang paling murah? Harganya hampir mencecah RM160,000 iaitu model \nOra Good\n daripada China.\n\n\n\n\nSumber: SoyaCincau\n\n\nMalah jenama EV paling terkenal iaitu \nTesla\n, harga bagi Model 3 bermula RM298,000. Yang paling mahal? Model X pada harga mencecah lebih RM800,000! Harga yang terlalu mahal bagi kenderaan jenis SUV.\u00a0\n\n\nSebenarnya, harga EV memang mahal. Bukan saja di Malaysia, malah di kebanyakan negara lain. Ada sebab mengapa EV ini dijual mahal berbanding kereta berkuasa petroleum:\u00a0\n\n\n1. Bahan Mentah\u00a0\n\n\nBahan utama dalam membuat bateri bagi EV ini ialah unsur nadir seperti litium, nikel, dan juga kobalt. Proses melombong unsur-unsur memerlukan kepakaran, peralatan serta sumber yang banyak. Sumber-sumber ini pula harganya tak murah! Inilah yang menjadi antara penyumbang terbesar kepada harga EV yang mahal.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Tiada Pengilang/Kilang Pemasangan Di Malaysia\n\n\nHampir kesemua EV yang ada di Malaysia diimport daripada luar negara. Seperti yang semua orang tahu, kereta yang diimport ke dalam Malaysia adalah lebih mahal kerana cukai serta duti yang perlu dibayar kepada kerajaan Malaysia.\n\n\n\n\nMelainkan ada pengeluar kereta yang mahu membuka kilang pemasangan di Malaysia, mungkin harga EV ini mungkin akan menjadi murah sedikit (sedikit sajalah).\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nKereta EV Kini Bukan Lagi Untuk Golongan Kayangan\n\n\n3. Teknologi\u00a0\n\n\nApabila anda membeli sebuah EV, anda bukan hanya membayar untuk bahan mentah saja. Tetapi anda juga sebenarnya membayar untuk teknologi dan kajian yang digunakan untuk menghasilkan EV.\u00a0\n\n\nAnda tak boleh ambil rangka kereta biasa, pasangkan bateri dan motor selepas itu, dah siap EV. Bukan begitu! Banyak kajian perlu dilakukan untuk memastikan EV yang dibeli mampu berfungsi dengan baik tanpa membahayakan penumpang. Antara kajian dan penyelidikan yang dibuat termasuklah bateri, motor, reka bentuk, kuasa, dan lain-lain lagi.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAda banyak lagi faktor yang menyumbang kepada harga mahal EV tetapi ini merupakan antara yang mudah difahami dan anda boleh kaitkan sendiri.\u00a0\n\n\nBila Agaknya EV Boleh Jadi Murah?\u00a0\n\n\nBanyak teknologi, yang asalnya sangat mahal dan hanya boleh dimiliki oleh golongan tertentu kini sudah menjadi sesuatu yang boleh dimiliki pada harga yang berpatutan. Contohnya? Kereta itu sendiri. Dahulunya hanya dibeli oleh orang kaya, kini boleh dibeli oleh hampir semua orang.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMaka, tak pelik pun jika satu hari nanti EV ini boleh menjadi kereta yang berpatutan dan boleh dimiliki oleh hampir semua orang. Sekarang ni harganya mungkin mahal kerana teknologi yang ada pun masih lagi baharu.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nKereta Elektrik Murah dan Berbaloi Bawah RM100,000\n\n\nNamun, teknologi EV akan makin berkembang dan tak mustahil selepas ini, lebih banyak EV yang akan dikeluarkan. Yang lebih murah dan berpatutan untuk dibeli oleh orang ramai.\u00a0\n\n\nMaka, selepas ini kebergantungan masyarakat dunia kepada kereta berkuasa petroleum juga boleh dikurangkan nanti.\u00a0\n\n\nTahun ini juga, kerajaan Malaysia telahpun meluluskan pemotongan cukai jalan dan juga duti eksais import bagi semua EV dalam bajet 2022. Ini menjadikan harga EV di Malaysia boleh jadi murah sedikit dengan pemotongan yang dibuat oleh kerajaan ini.\n\n\nCARSOME Tak Jual EV Lagi Tapi\u2026\u00a0\n\n\nBuat masa sekarang, kami belum lagi menjual EV tetapi kami masih ada pilihan kereta pramilik berjenama lokal dan juga import. Beli kereta pramilik pun salah satu langkah untuk memulihara alam sekitar!\u00a0\n\n\nPilih kereta idaman anda daripada 30 jenama kereta yang ada merangkumi pelbagai jenis kenderaan.

Since you are going to own it for at least a few years, you definitely want a car that meets your needs and wants.\u00a0\n\n\nThis is why test-driving a car before purchasing it is vital to find out if it\u2019s the right fit for you. To help you maximize your test-driving experience, here is a complete guide on how to test-drive a new or used car including what to do in unexpected circumstances. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTable of Contents\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy Should You Test Drive a Car?\n\n\nQuestions You Should Ask Before a Test Drive\n\n\nA Checklist of What You Should Do Before, During & After a Test Drive\n\n\nMistakes You Want to Avoid During a Test Drive\n\n\nHow Long & Where Should You Test Drive?\n\n\nHow to Avoid Buying High-Risk Cars?\u00a0\n\n\nNow, What Happens if the Test-Driven Car Gets into an Accident?\u00a0\n\n\nTest-Drive with Confidence with CARSOME\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy Should You Test Drive a Car?\n\n\nWhen buying a car, you always have the option to request a test drive. This is when you can \ninspect the car\n up close and experience it first-hand by driving it. The sales representative will most likely be with you during the test drive, and as you go about driving the car, you can ask questions about it, or address any concerns you may have. \n\n\nYou can tell a lot about a car during a test drive, especially when driving at different speeds, varying terrains, and while taking corners. Just remember to drive carefully and obey road laws so you don\u2019t end up ruining an expensive car like getting into an accident while test-driving a Mercedes-Benz.\n Here are two main reasons why you should test drive a car.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaking sure the car suits your lifestyle: \nGiven that a car is arguably one of the largest financial commitments you might make, you definitely want a car that suits you. When you take a car for a test drive, it gives you the opportunity to understand and feel what the car is like to drive. You can also check for items such as the boot space, the practicality of fitting in car seats (for children), and so forth.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nYou can check the car\u2019s condition or performance:\n Driving a car is very different from viewing it. There are certain factors you may not spot during a car viewing as some issues may only come to light in the form of noises during the drive, or in the handling of the steering wheel. This is especially important when you are buying a used car as some dealerships might not disclose if the car has faulty parts.\n\n\n\n\nBy test-driving the car, you have the opportunity to understand and experience it for yourself. If the price of a car is too good to be true, it most probably has some issues.\n\n\nNow, here are some things you should do before you head down to your nearest car dealership for a test drive.\n\n\n\n\nQuestions You Should Ask Before a Test Drive\n\n\nHere\u2019s what you need to ask yourself before you decide on purchasing a car.\n\n\n1. \nDoes the Car Suit My Lifestyle & Needs?\n\n\nWhen you pick a car (new or used), it is important to know what it is that you want from the car; if it will be used for your whole family, picking up your kids from school, bringing your pets around, to go to outdoor activities, etc. A test drive would be the perfect opportunity to answer these questions.\n\n\n2. Is There Enough Room for a Child Seat or for the Kids to Sit? \n\n\nIf you have a family, the car will need to be comfortable for the front and rear passengers. If you are able to, bring your family along with you on your test drive and check if there\u2019s any room for child seats. Make sure everyone is seated comfortably and there is enough legroom because the last thing you want while driving is to feel a jab in the back of your seat from your kid\u2019s knee. \n\n\nRead also\n: \nTo Buy or Lease a Car: What Is the Best Choice for You?\n\u00a0\n\n\n3. How Is the Performance of the Car?\n\n\nWhen you take the car out for a test drive, take it through different terrains, including the highway. Pay attention to how the car steers, how it shifts gears, accelerates, brakes, and turns.\n\n\nYou should also ask about the car\u2019s fuel efficiency. One way to determine it is by how much petrol is needed for a 100 kilometers drive. In general, five to eight liters per 100 kilometers would be considered a good fuel efficiency, while eight to 10 liters per 100 kilometers would be average, and more than 10 liters per 100 kilometers would be considered a relatively low fuel efficiency. \n\n\n4. Can the Car Be Parked Easily?\n\n\nParking starts and ends every journey. Buying a car that\u2019s easy to park will save you a lot of future frustration and time. So do take this into consideration, including the parking situation around your home and work. \nTry parking the car during your test drive and see how easy or difficult it is.\n New cars now come with updated technology features like parking assist that help you to park well with the help of cameras and sensors.\n\n\n5. Does the Car Have Any Deal Breakers?\n\n\nAfter taking the car out for a test drive, think about anything you didn\u2019t like about it. Minor details like how easily you get in and out of the car (especially if you are tall or have special needs), or even the comfort of the seats might be a point of contention later on.\n\n\n\n\nA Checklist of What You Should Do Before, During & After a Test Drive\n\n\n\n\nBuying a car can be both an exciting and an intimidating process. \nHere\u2019s how to test drive a car be it new or used,\n with a checklist that can help you make sense of your test drive and everything you need to do before, during, and after one.\n\n\nRead More: \nCommon Hidden Fees When Buying a Used Car in Malaysia\n\n\nBefore Picking Out A Car\n\n\nDo your research before heading down to your nearest dealership. You can read reviews online, join forums and find buyer\u2019s guides on the specific car that you want which will be enough to provide you with the information you need about the car.\n\n\nBefore Getting in a Car\n\n\nYou should check:\n\n\n\n\nIf there are any signs of rust around the underside, wheel arches, and exterior body.\n\n\nIf there are any signs of dents and scratches.\n\n\nIf the exhaust pipe is in good condition and is supported correctly and firmly.\n\n\nthe color of the exhaust smoke.\n\n\nIf all the lights and indicators are working properly.\n\n\nThe condition of the tires. Are they worn out? If they have less than 3mm tread thickness, they need to be changed.\n\n\nThe engine, including if the oil is filled up to the correct level, or if there are any signs of corrosion or leakage.\n\n\nAny cracks on the hoses and belts.\n\n\nThe service and inspection report to know the health of the car.\n\n\nThe complete paperwork for the car.\n\n\n\n\nBefore Starting the Engine\n\n\n\n\nMake sure the infotainment, including the audio system, works well. Listen for any muffled or dull sound as that might indicate a spoiled system.\n\n\nCheck the mileage. Does that mileage make sense for the age of the car?\n\n\nCheck if the air conditioners, windows, locking system, windshield wipers, and side mirrors work perfectly.\n\n\nKeep an eye out for the warning lights. Do they switch off after the engine starts? Do any warning lights come on \nwhile test-driving the car\n?\n\n\n\n\nDuring the Test Drive\n\n\n\n\nDoes the car accelerate when you need it to?\n\n\nIs the steering wheel moving smoothly? If the car drifts to one side when you are driving, that might be a result of uneven tire pressure or a problem with the suspension.\n\n\nKeep an eye on the temperature gauge and see if there are any signs of overheating.\n\n\nIf it is a manual car, is the clutch easy to engage? Can you change the gears easily and does the car jerk when you change them?\n\n\nFor automatic cars, does the gear lever \u2018self-center\u2019 over the correct gear, or do you have to do it manually?\n\n\nWhen braking, does the car come to a complete stop immediately, or is there too much effort needed to stop it? Do you hear unusual sounds when you brake?\n\n\nTest the handbrake, preferably on a hill.\n\n\nDrive over speed bumps to see how the car handles uneven surfaces. Listen out for unusual knocks and clunks.\n\n\n\n\nAfter the Test Drive\n\n\n\n\nWait a few minutes after switching off the car and restart it again while the engine is still hot. If it fails to start, there is definitely something that needs fixing, which could be expensive such as the fuel injector.\n\n\nWas it a comfortable drive? Is it suitable for your everyday needs? Is there enough leg space for everyone who would be sitting in your car?\n\n\nDo not make a decision straight away. If possible, it is always a good idea to test drive at least three times to familiarize yourself with the car and to keep your options open.\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nBring on the Budget: Buying Your First Family Car\n\n\n\n\nMistakes You Want to Avoid During a Test Drive\n\n\nHere are some common mistakes that you can avoid when you head down to test drive a car \nbe it new or used.\n\n\n1. Meet the Owner/Enter the Dealership without a Plan.\n\n\nBefore meeting the owner of the car or entering a dealership, it\u2019s best to do proper research about the car that you want to purchase. Know what the car is worth, how much are you willing to spend for the car and its repairs, and know exactly why you want that car. Do not let the salesperson dissuade you by showing you something else.\n\n\n2. Buying the car without a Proper Budget\n\n\nWhen you are setting the budget for your new car, instead of just taking into consideration the market value of the car and your total loan amount, you should also consider the annual maintenance cost of the car and emergency repair costs.\n\n\n3. Not Taking the Time to Think About Your Purchase\n\n\nWhenever you purchase anything, you should never rush into it. You don\u2019t have to test drive every car that is available at the dealership but it\u2019s important to take some time to make your decision after evaluating potential alternatives.\n\n\n\n\nHow Long & Where Should You Test Drive?\n\n\nNow is your chance to see how the car performs and whether you can detect any problems with its drivetrain, steering, suspension, brakes, or other important features. When it comes to how long you should take a car for a test drive, you should drive them for as long as possible and over different types of road surfaces, as well as in various driving conditions.\n\n\nMost dealers would have a pre-set route that they\u2019ll suggest you take which will typically take around 15 to 30 minutes. But don\u2019t be afraid to ask for a longer time period if you feel like you need it. Some dealers might even offer special extended test drives that might last between 24 and 48 hours from time to time.\n\n\nNow, where should you test drive the car? Unless you live and work right in the city, there is a chance that you will be driving on different terrains on a daily basis. So, when you take a car for a test drive, you should take it out for a drive in the city, on the highway, and even on small country roads. Test the car\u2019s handling by driving at different speeds, then test the brakes at different speeds.\n\n\nWhen You Test Drive on a Road with Stop-And-Go Traffic:\n\n\n\n\nMake sure to notice how the brake feels when you come to a complete stop.\n\n\nListen to any grinding or squeaky noises which is an indication of a worn-out brake pad.\n\n\nHow does it handle potholes and rough roads? You should drive slowly and listen for any rattling or knocking sounds which is a clear indication of steering problems.\n\n\nHow is the car when you make a 90-degree turn? Does it navigate smoothly without swaying left and right uncontrollably? Resistance or pulling in the steering can be a sign of problems in the suspension.\n\n\n\n\nWhen You Drive on a Highway Where You Can Speed Up:\n\n\n\n\nDoes your car accelerate quickly and drive smoothly from gear to gear? If the car jerks between each gear change, that is a sign of an engine or transmission problem.\n\n\nCarefully switch lanes a few times to see how the car reacts to different speeds.\n\n\nListen carefully to any squeaky, whiny sounds behind the sound of the engine. That might be a sign of a faulty belt or brake pad.\n\n\nDrive up and down a hill to check the brakes.\n\n\n\n\nWhen You Practice Parallel Parking:\n\n\n\n\nMake sure the car shifts smoothly from drive to reverse. If the car jerks or makes a grinding noise when shifting gears, it can be a sign of bad transmission.\n\n\nHow responsive is the car? When you are in reverse gear, do the gas and brake pedals feel different?\n\n\nHow does the car fit in a regular parking space?\n\n\n\n\nNow that you know what you need to do before, during, and after a test drive as well as the location you should test drive a car, you should know how to differentiate between a good used car and a high-risk used car. \nHere are what to look for when test-driving a used car so \nyou can avoid buying high-risk cars.\n\n\n\n\nHow to Avoid Buying High-Risk Cars?\u00a0\n\n\nHere Are Some Tell-Tale Signs of a High-Risk Car:\n\n\n\n\nCheck for \nsigns that the car you are test-driving has been in a fire\n. A fuse that blows more than once is a sign of a compromised component linked to an electrical issue.\u00a0\n\n\nOil spills under the hood from a leaky gasket.\n\n\nFluid leaks under the car.\n\n\nYou can smell petrol when you are not refueling.\u00a0\n\n\nThere is a rapid change in fuel level, oil levels, or overall temperature.\u00a0\n\n\nBroken or loose engine hose.\n\n\nThe smell of burning plastic or rubber when you enter the car.\n\n\nCracked or loose wiring with exposed metal.\n\n\n\n\nSigns That the Car You are Test Driving Has Been in a Flood:\n\n\n\n\nDamp or musty smell when you enter the car.\n\n\nPale and sticky engine oil.\u00a0\n\n\nDirt such as debris, grass, sand, and silt build up in unusual places such as inside the glove compartment, between the engine, in the boot, under the spare tire, in between the seating cracks, and under the dashboard.\n\n\nAny form of rust or corrosion on the metal elements (screws, door hinges, hood springs, exterior frame).\n\n\nWarning lights that are foggy from the water that may be retained inside.\n\n\nBubbles on the external body may indicate an unusual paint job to cover rust\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nDangers of Buying a Flood-Affected Car\n\n\nHow You Can Find Out If a Car Has Been in a Major Accident:\n\n\n\n\nCheck the paintwork for any inconsistencies as these can be signs of covering up accident marks.\u00a0\n\n\nCheck for any mismatched or third-party spare parts that may have been used to lower the cost of previous repairs.\u00a0\n\n\nAre there any gaps between the doors? Do you have to slam it hard for it to shut or can you stick your fingers between the fender and the door when closed? Since parts can get misaligned after an accident, they might not fit perfectly again after being fixed.\n\n\nDoes the car pull to one side when driven? This is a sign of a misaligned wheel alignment.\u00a0\n\n\nCheck the tire for uneven tire wear.\n\n\nDo you see any welding marks on the exterior of the car?\n\n\n\n\nYou will want to avoid buying a car with these signs as you could be forking out high repair costs to fix some significant damages.\n\n\n\n\nNow, What Happens if the Test-Driven Car Gets into an Accident?\u00a0\n\n\nYou might remember a Mercedes-Benz AMG E43 getting into an accident during a test drive in Malaysia some time ago. Although that is due to the driver\u2019s careless driving, you could still get into a collision even if you were extra careful during your test drive. So, what happens if you get into an accident?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAn accident involving a Mercedes-Benz on a test-drive\n\n\nYou Don\u2019t Have to Pay For Small Damages\n\n\nIf the damage is minimal such as a small scratch or a minor dent, the dealership would usually cover the repair cost.\n\n\nYou are usually covered under fleet insurance that is used for new, unregistered cars. This insurance will cover all the small damages no matter who is at fault.\u00a0\n\n\nRemember not to sign any liability waiver as that will make you responsible for any damage done during the test drive. Always read any document that might require your signature before a test drive, and always address any concerns you might have prior to that.\u00a0\n\n\nYou Will Have to Pay For Major Damages\n\n\nFor major accidents such as if the car overturns, or one side of the car is completely damaged, you are e responsible for covering the cost.\n\n\nYou will have to make a police report first and the police will determine who is at fault for the accident.\n\n\nIf you are found responsible for the accident, your personal car insurance policy will cover the damage. But if you don\u2019t have insurance and this would be your first car, you would have to fork out your own money.\n\n\nWhat If It Is Another Driver\u2019s Fault?\n\n\nIf another driver hits the car, the dealership will handle the accident reporting and claims will be made on that driver\u2019s insurance.\n\n\nIf the test-driven car is faulty, the dealership will take full responsibility for the repairs. If anyone is injured, the dealership\u2019s insurance company will have to compensate for it too.\n\n\nAlways remember to consult your insurance agent first before admitting to any fault. \n\n\n\n\nTest-Drive with Confidence with CARSOME\n\n\nWhen you\u2019re shopping for a car with CARSOME, you can come in for a test drive any day of the week \u2013 just \nbook an appointment\n and the car will be waiting for you.

There are four main things that are usually considered when determining a vehicle\u2019s price \u2013 modifications, mileage, maintenance, and condition of the car.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nModifications\n\n\nCredit: shoppmlit.com\n\n\nWho doesn\u2019t wish for a higher resale value for their car? If your answer is a resounding yes, then you should probably think twice between planning your mods. Is there a difference between a tuned and modified vehicle? We understand that not all vehicles that came stock have great speakers, or cool tail lamps. But do note that when it comes to selling your vehicle, it will take time for the mechanic to reinstall the stock parts that were replaced. This incurs additional time and money that could not be in your favour.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe modern day electrical configurations are built-up faster, but certainly not the most reliable.\u00a0 \nCredit: Fountain Gate Auto Electrics\n\n\nPresently, the electrical and electronic modifications to your vehicle may include alarms, sounds systems, lighting systems and additional gadgetry you could think of. The reason that mods are not recommended is because of the chances of something going marginally wrong. This is as simple as voiding the warranty of your vehicle as the modifications put in replaces the stock parts as intended by the manufacturer. Of course it may improve the performance and outlook of your vehicle, but that also means that there could be a chance that these parts may cause other parts to fail. Such examples include installing brighter head and tail lamp bulbs that could melt or burn the plastic housings of the unit. Sound familiar?\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nMileage\n\n\n\n\nWhy does mileage matter in the used car market? When a car hits a certain amount of distance travelled, it needs to have its regular service and maintenance. Although it might seem that a car of lower mileage is the holy grail of \u2018newer and better upkept\u2019 vehicles, it does not apply to cars that sit idle for long periods of time. A mechanical and electrical product needs to be used from time to time for it to be working optimally.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nA standard 1993 Volvo 240 Wagon.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\nCredit: \nbringatrailer.com\n\n\nThere is a myth that lower clocked vehicles are in a better condition, and it mostly rings true.\u00a0This is where a proper maintenance record of your vehicle\u2019s service will ensure a higher resale value. But do be wary of individuals that attempt to \u201crenew\u201d their vehicle\u2019s odometre by turning them backwards to make it seem their vehicle is evidently newer. Why is this done? Because there is a difference between a car that has done 50,000 km and one that has gone 100,000 km. Buying any used car has an element of risk because \u2018the more mileage the a car has clocked, the more likely there is a part about to go.\u2019 We recommend getting a trusted mechanic with experience when it comes to buying a used vehicle.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Condition of the Interior and Exterior\n\n\nA picture of a car from the scrapyard. I think it serves to say your vehicle shouldn\u2019t look like this.\n\n\nA cracked or broken windscreen that will need a replacement.\n\n\nIf you take a step back and compare the condition of your car when you first bought it, there is certainly a difference. Parts that have been in contact with your hands, the air and the weather contribute to the age as a whole. However, with enough care and concern, wiping down parts on a frequent basis, can preserve the clean and new look over time. We believe in the motto that \u201cif you take care of your car, your car will take care of you.\u201d\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nMaintenance Records\n\n\nCars are never easy to maintain. It is advisable to keep your maintenance records and papers throughout the lifetime of the vehicle. These records help you to prove that it has been serviced according to the schedules required; ensuring its good upkeep.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCredit: Wikiphoto\n\n\n\u00a0According to \nwikiHow\n, there are easy steps of maintaining your vehicle as well.

Bookings by the way, have been exceeding expectations. Flagged off by Nazman Yusoff, Head of Naza Kia Malaysia, the drive saw us journey through a series of highways, small towns and twisty \u201ckampung roads\u201d en route to a resort in Janda Baik.\n\n\nPerformance\n\n\n\n\nAnd almost instantly upon getting behind the wheel, you\u2019d notice the abundance of performance lurking beneath the hood; home to the potent 2.2-liter turbo diesel engine with 193 horsepower and 440Nm of torque on the taps from as low as 1,750 rpm.\n\n\n\n\nAnd the eagerness was apparent from the journey out of the city centre leading up to Gombak. The wealth of torque simply allowed the sizeable MPV to breeze out of junctions and away from standstill traffic with as little as a nudge on the throttle.\n\n\n\n\nEven on the open roads, using the overtaking lane to overcome traffic ahead didn\u2019t prove much of a challenge for such a hefty machine. The Kia wasn\u2019t fazed either when we ventured out beyond recommended speed limits, momentarily.\n\n\n\n\nThat said, we can\u2019t say where the limits are for the mighty diesel engine \u2013 you\u2019re not supposed to be driving an MPV that fast anyways, or with any vehicle for that matter. With weight on its side, stability was apparent at cruising speeds.\n\n\n\n\nWhile we wouldn\u2019t claim the Grand Carnival to be a Fiesta ST of MPV\u2019s, it holds its own composure, throughout the long sweeping bends of the Karak Highway. The brakes held up well, but as always with a vehicle this size, it\u2019s wise to anticipate braking earlier.\n\n\nComfort\n\n\n\n\nPossibly the strong suit of the Grand Carnival, NVH levels were noticeably low even at higher speeds and for the same reason, allowed all 6-speakers to prove their worth without interference.\n\n\n\n\nWe should point that the Reverse Camera display wasn\u2019t really proportionate to the size of the centre console but it\u2019s clarity more than made up for it. Acknowledging this, we were enlightened by Kia over the fact that it was simply just standard CBU equipment; although an improvement to it is not ruled out.\n\n\n\n\nAutomatic sliding doors are available on both sides of the Carnival, which could be closed by way of pulling the door handles (as usual) or simply pushing a button, placed on either side of the B-pillars.\n\n\n\n\nThe driver too can enjoy such a luxury, with an array of buttons and switches positioned overhead to automatically open the doors and boot; which can be closed automatically from the back as well.\n\n\nSpace\n\n\n\n\nSpace was aplenty no matter where you were in the Carnival. Even with second row passengers sitting in a reclined position, there was plenty more room for a lanky 5\u201911 passenger to forget he or she is seated at the third row.\n\n\n\n\nThe lack of third-row air-con controls found in the Carnival was compensated with a foot vent; which seemingly makes it impossible for you to run out of chills anywhere in the Kia. The luxury of air-con controls though is afforded to second row passengers.\n\n\n\n\nWhat you\u2019d also not run out of, is the seemingly boundless space the cargo area can accommodate. Freeing up space where the spare tyre would normally be in other cars, made it obvious that more storage was available.\n\n\n\n\nThe seats in the Grand Carnival were flexible too; with lever and pull straps, which can be folded, stacked and \u201cdunked\u201d into the floor to create a wide-open space which we suspect can rival commercial vans \u2013 it\u2019s all pretty clever stuff.\n\n\n\n\nGiven the brief time we had with the Carnival, it was impossible to thoroughly assess the vehicle in and out, but on our first impressions, it was a real funfair.

Paired with these numbers is also an unfortunate increase in road accidents. The first half of 2019 recorded 281,527 road accidents compared to 274,556 in 2018, an increase of 2.5% or 6,971 additional cases.\n\n\nIn line with Bosch Automotive Aftermarket Malaysia\u2019s \u2018Drive for Life\u2019 campaign that advocates for safer cars and safer roads, they have come up with five handy tips to help you in the event of an accident.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAssess your situation\n\n\n\n\nDepending on the severity of the accident, first, calmly assess yourself for injuries before checking your passengers. If everyone is safe, move your vehicle to the emergency lane and assemble the warning triangle behind your car. Have your passengers wait by the side of the road behind a barrier if possible. Should you feel threatened or intimidated, call the police and inform them of the accident and your location.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAssess your vehicle\n\n\n\n\nTake photos of the damages on your car and the other vehicles involved, as this will help should there be potential disputes. You should then exchange the following information with the other drivers:\n\n\n\n\nCar plate number, road tax, vehicle model and color\n\n\nDriver\u2019s name, IC number and contact details\n\n\n\n\nAlthough exchanging personal information is essential, it can be dangerous for women to disclose this information with a stranger. If you are uncomfortable in doing so, provide the contact details of a close male friend or family member.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nFollow and understand procedures\n\n\n\n\nLodge a police report within 24 hours unless you require medical attention. Once you file a statement, the police officer will take photos of your car and your case will be assigned to a traffic investigating officer.\n\n\nWhen it comes to insurance claims, you will need a copy of the police report which will detail the party at fault and photos of the accident scene.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nService your car regularly and use quality car parts\n\n\n\n\nAbout 20 per cent of road accidents are caused by poor condition of vehicles and roads. While it is not a significant figure, it is always better to be safe than sorry. Regular upkeep of your car and the use of quality car parts can increase its reliability, performance and safety, as well as keep you from being in unwanted situations.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nToo much information?

Namun begitu, kita boleh melakukan persediaan untuk menghadapi sebarang kemungkinan yang tidak dapat dielakkan. Percaya atau tidak, kebanyakan situasi kerosakan kereta berlaku di kawasan yang gelap, semasa berkeseorangan dengan penerimaan signal telefon yang teruk! Sekiranya anda memandu atau memiliki kenderaan, anda disarankan untuk menyediakan aksesori kereta dan peralatan keselamatan penting ini dalam kereta anda sebelum bergerak ke mana-mana destinasi sebagai langkah pencegahan sekiranya berlaku insiden kecemasan.\n\n\n9 Aksesori Kereta dan Peralatan Keselamatan Wajib Ada dalam Kenderaan\n\n\nKegagalan anda menyediakan aksesori kereta ini dalam kereta anda mungkin menyukarkan anda sekiranya berlaku sebarang situasi kecemasan. Oleh sebab itu, CARSOME menyenaraikan 9 aksesori kereta yang perlu ada di dalam kenderaan anda sebelum anda memulakan perjalanan untuk membantu memberi sedikit kelegaan jika berlaku situasi sebegini kepada anda.\n\n\n\n\n1. Tukul Cermin Pelbagai Fungsi\n\n\nAlat keselamatan seperti \ntukul cermin\n perlu ada dan disimpan dalam kenderaan anda. Alatan ini mampu menyelamatkan nyawa sekiranya berlaku perkara yang tidak diingini seperti kereta anda terhumban ke dalam laut atau sungai. Kebiasaannya, jika kenderaan anda terjunam ke dalam sungai, pintu tidak boleh dibuka disebabkan oleh tekanan air yang sangat kuat. Oleh itu, tukul cermin diperlukan untuk memecahkan cermin supaya anda dapat segera keluar dan menyelamatkan diri.\n\n\nKebanyakan tukul cermin yang dijual di pasaran pada ketika ini boleh didapati secara \u2018tiga dalam satu\u2019 atau \u2018enam dalam satu\u2019 bergantung pada keperluan anda. Ia turut dilengkapi dengan pemotong tali pinggang keledar dan lampu suluh kecil. Elakkan diri anda daripada terpedaya dengan hero filem yang mampu memecahkan cermin tanpa menggunakan sebarang objek. Ia mungkin berkesan, namun tidaklah sepantas dan semudah yang digambarkan.\n\n\n2. Alat Pemadam Api\n\n\nAlat pemadam api merupakan salah satu komponen penting yang perlu ada dalam semua kenderaan. Ia bukan sahaja boleh digunakan untuk memadamkan kebakaran yang melibatkan kereta anda, malah ia juga boleh digunakan untuk membantu mereka yang memerlukannya. Banyak kebakaran yang berlaku melibatkan kenderaan moden hari ini adalah disebabkan masalah litar pintas. Alat pemadam api 1 kg jenis serbuk kering (\ndry powder\n) sesuai digunakan untuk kenderaan persendirian. Alat ini sesuai diletakkan di bawah tempat duduk penumpang hadapan kerana ia senang dicapai jika berlaku kecemasan.\n\n\nElakkan daripada meletakkan pemadam api di dalam but atau di bawah tempat duduk pemandu. Ia boleh bergolek ke bahagian pedal yang mungkin boleh membahayakan anda. Alat pemadam api 1 kg dijual di pasaran pada harga bermula RM70, manakala alat pemadam api 2 kg (sesuai untuk kenderaan besar seperti lori tiga tan) dijual di pasaran pada harga bermula RM85.\n\n\n3. Peti Pertolongan Cemas\n\n\nKebanyakan orang tidak mengendahkan kepentingan peti pertolongan cemas di dalam kenderaan terutamanya melibatkan perjalanan jarak jauh yang memakan masa. Peti pertolongan cemas memainkan peranan yang penting terutama bagi mereka yang berkeluarga dan mempunyai anak kecil. Alat bantuan kecemasan ini bukan sahaja dapat mengelakkan risiko kecederaan yang lebih teruk, malah dalam kes-kes tertentu boleh menyelamatkan nyawa. Berikut merupakan antara barangan yang perlu ada dalam peti bantuan kecemasan:\n\n\nKandungan dalam Peti Pertolongan Cemas\n\n\nBerikut merupakan kandungan yang perlu ada dalam kit pertolongan cemas dalam kereta anda:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPembersih antiseptik ringan\n\n\nKain kasa pengelap\n\n\nKapas\n\n\nGunting\n\n\nPita pelekat\n\n\nKain anduh tiga segi\n\n\nPek penyejuk segera\n\n\nSarung tangan\n\n\nPlaster\n\n\nTermometer\n\n\nMinyak/Minyak angin\n\n\nUbat-ubatan ringan seperti panadol, ubat tahan sakit\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeti pertolongan cemas boleh didapati di mana-mana farmasi berdekatan anda dengan harga serendah RM30 hingga RM200 bergantung pada kualiti atau jenama. Namun begitu, anda disarankan untuk membeli peti pertolongan cemas bersaiz kecil supaya mudah disimpan di dalam kereta anda.\n\n\n\n\n4. Kabel \n\u2018Jumper\u2019\n Kereta\n\n\nBateri kereta boleh mati tanpa mengira tempat dan masa. Oleh itu, untuk elakkan anda daripada tersadai di satu-satu lokasi dalam masa yang lama, anda boleh menggunakan kabel \n\u2018jumper\u2019 \nkereta sebagai alternatif untuk menghidupkan kembali kereta anda. Namun begitu, jika anda tidak pasti cara penggunaannya, anda boleh semak panduan pengendalian kabel \n\u2018jumper\u2019\n kereta yang disertakan dalam buku panduan manual kenderaan anda. Kabel ini boleh dibeli di mana-mana kedai aksesori kereta atau mana-mana platform dalam talian dengan harga sekitar RM50. Malah, ada juga kabel \n\u2018jumper\u2019\n kereta jenis mudah alih di pasaran yang hanya menggunakan \n\u2018powerbank\u2019\n \u00a0khas tanpa perlu menggunakan kuasa daripada kenderaan lain.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nCara \nJumper\n Bateri Kereta yang Betul, Senang dan Selamat\n\n\n5. Kamera \n\u2018Dashboard\u2019 \natau \n\u2018Dashcam\u2019 \nKereta\n\n\nKamera\n \u2018dashboard\u2019\n atau \n\u2018dashcam\u2019\n kereta merupakan salah satu komponen penting yang perlu ada dalam setiap kenderaan. Ia berfungsi untuk merakamkan perjalanan anda dan kejadian-kejadian yang berlaku terutamanya jika anda terlibat dalam kemalangan jalan raya. Adakalanya, pemandu lain tidak mengakui kesalahan yang mereka lakukan dan meletakkan kesalahan tersebut di bahu anda. Faktor ini juga didorong oleh ketiadaan kamera jalan raya atau saksi yang sudi tampil membantu. Oleh itu, untuk mengelakkan perkara ini daripada berlaku, anda disarankan untuk memasang kamera \n\u2018dashcam\u2019\n pada kereta anda supaya jika situasi seperti ini berlaku, anda ada bukti yang boleh mengukuhkan hujah anda.\n\n\n6. Air Minuman Botol\n\n\nSelain itu, air minuman botol juga perlu disimpan di dalam kereta untuk digunakan semasa kecemasan seperti menambahkan air ke dalam radiator atau sebagainya. Ia penting terutamanya melibatkan perjalanan jauh yang memakan masa. Bukan itu sahaja, anda juga disarankan untuk menyimpan botol kosong di dalam kenderaan anda. Botol kosong ini boleh digunakan untuk mengisi minyak jika kenderaan anda kehabisan minyak secara tiba-tiba.\n\n\nNamun begitu, anda disarankan untuk menyimpan botol air di tempat yang selamat dan terlindung daripada cahaya matahari. Botol air boleh menghasilkan haba daripada cahaya matahari yang boleh menyebabkan kebakaran. Kita tidak mahu botol air yang ingin digunakan semasa kecemasan menjadi punca situasi kecemasan yang lain. Elakkan juga daripada meminum air daripada botol minuman ini kerana botol minuman yang terdedah kepada cahaya matahari boleh menghasilkan bahan kimia berbahaya yang boleh membahayakan kesihatan anda.\n\n\n\n\n7. Segi Tiga Amaran\n\n\nSegi tiga amaran (\nwarning triangle kit\n) biasanya digunakan dalam situasi kecemasan atau kerosakan. Papan tanda dengan bahan pantulan merah ini biasanya diletakkan di sisi jalan (kira-kira 45 meter dari arah belakang kenderaan yang rosak atau kemalangan) sebagai tanda amaran kepada pengguna jalan raya yang lain. Negara-negara di Eropah seperti Austria, Sepanyol, Perancis, Belgium dan Itali mewajibkan penggunaan segi tiga amaran dalam situasi kecemasan atau kemalangan. Malah, pemandu boleh dikenakan kompaun jika tidak menggunakan alatan ini semasa kecemasan atau kemalangan.\n\n\n8. Tayar Ganti dan \n\u2018Jack & Lug Wrench\u2019\n \n\n\nKerosakan tayar semasa dalam perjalanan disebabkan oleh tayar yang tidak diselenggara dan dijaga dengan baik boleh membantutkan perjalanan. Malah, ia turut menjejaskan dan merosakan mood percutian anda. Oleh sebab itu, penting untuk anda sediakan payung sebelum hujan. Tayar ganti atau \n\u2018spare tyre\u2019\n merupakan komponen penting sekiranya anda ingin memulakan perjalanan jarak jauh. Lakukan pemeriksaan secara berkala untuk memastikan tayar ganti anda berada dalam keadaan baik dan boleh digunakan.\n\n\nPeriksa tekanan angin dan tahap kehausan bunga tayar anda. Tukar tayar ganti anda jika ia berada dalam keadaan yang tidak memuaskan. Selain itu, pastikan kelengkapan untuk menukar tayar ganti seperti \n\u2018jack & lug wrench\u2019\n tersedia dalam kenderaan anda. Pastikan alatan-alatan ini berada dalam keadaan baik dan boleh digunakan. Jika anda menggunakan rim \nsport\n, pastikan nut khas untuk membuka rim ada bersama anda.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nPunca Kerosakan Tayar Kereta Yang Patut Anda Tahu\n\n\n9. Alat Pengecas atau \n\u2018Powerbank\u2019\n \n\n\nSentiasa bawa \n\u2018powerbank\u2019\n bersama-sama anda sebelum memulakan perjalanan jarak jauh. Adakalanya semasa kecemasan, telefon bimbit akan kehabisan bateri dan kita memerlukan sumber kuasa untuk mengecasnya. Oleh itu, penting untuk anda pastikan yang anda bawa bersama \n\u2018powerbank\u2019\n yang telah dicas penuh sebelum memulakan perjalanan. Ini sekali gus membantu memudahkan anda untuk mendapatkan bantuan daripada pihak berkenaan, jika perlu.\n\n\nWalaupun sesetengah model kereta mempunyai \n\u2018built-in charger\u2019\n sebagai ciri standard, anda perlu juga memikirkan kebarangkalian lain yang boleh menghalang anda daripada menggunakannya. Oleh itu, penggunaan \n\u2018powerbank\u2019\n merupakan alternatif terbaik untuk anda. Kami mengharapkan tip ini dapat membantu memudahkan perjalanan anda dan mengelakkan perkara-perkara luar jangka menjejaskan pengalaman pemanduan anda.\n\n\n\n\nSemoga perkongsian senarai aksesori penting kereta ini diharap dapat membantu anda sekiranya anda menghadapi masalah semasa berada di jalan raya. Sentiasa beringat dan berwaspada sepanjang pemanduan untuk mengelakkan sebarang insiden atau kejadian yang tidak diingini. Apa yang penting, pandu dengan cermat dan sentiasa berhati-hati di jalan raya.\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda sedang mempertimbangkan untuk\n\u00a0\nmenjual kereta lama\n\u00a0\ndan berminat untuk mendapatkan\n\u00a0kereta terpakai baharu\n, layari laman web CARSOME untuk info lanjut.

But the truth is, with a public transportation system that fails to be punctual and reliable, getting to work through a vehicle of their own has become a necessity for blue and white collared workers daily.\n\n\nThen again, looking for a vehicle isn\u2019t easy, or cheap. With a decent vehicle costing almost RM 50,000 new, repayments and the works would entail even more cost in the long run. This is where purchasing a second-hand car comes into view.\n\n\nWhere do you begin, and how do you look for a good second-hand car? Here are FIVE tips that will help you in your search.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThere are plenty of choices to go around and even more availability to suit anyone\u2019s needs. Why should you buy a second-hand car? Depending on the situation, it could be the option that makes the most sense. For example, based on the model, a brand-new Japanese or continental car would have an average 20 or 30 per cent depreciation respectively per year. The details are as follows.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Cost of New vs Used\n\n\nCredit: Honda Malaysia\n\n\nHere, a 2-year-old Honda City or Toyota Vios which would originally cost about RM 92,000 brand new, would have a second-hand value of between RM 60,000 to RM 65,000, that translates to about RM 27,000 or more in savings.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nInterest Rates\n\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re thinking about the interest rates, it\u2019s true that it would be higher than a brand-new vehicle (3.6 to 4 per cent compared to 2.7 to 3.3 per cent). However, after you do the math, the savings are still substantial.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n1) Check The Car\u2019s Historical Details\n\n\nCredit: barnfinds.com\n\n\nTo start things off, you should ensure that the vehicle you\u2019re getting is accident free, with a reasonably low mileage, is still under warranty, and has a record of service. This ensures the vehicle hasn\u2019t been aged too quickly via high mileage and have been mechanically maintained well through service.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n2) Check For Car\u2019s Sound And Feel\n\n\nCredit: Flickr\n\n\nThis is where it becomes tricky. Sounds to pay attention to include engine noise, absorbers when going over bumps, and the drive shaft when turning the steering wheel. But this also includes feel and experience as well. A car\u2019s gearbox on speed change and jerks can be easily noticed, but certain parts require a trained eye and ear to identify faults in parts like the steering rack and radiator.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n3) Estimate The Car\u2019s Worth Based On Year, Condition And Price\n\n\nEstimating the car\u2019s worth is based on its condition and depreciation. Hence, it is good to do some research before heading out to check on one. If a car\u2019s price sounds too good to be true, it probably is.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n4) Buy From A Reputable Dealer\n\n\nNot all dealerships and salesmen are honest. The one that has your best interests at heart should provide you some advice on the vehicle you\u2019re interested in, which will best suit your needs, and is of good value.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n5) Get A Trained Car Inspector\n\n\nCredit: aamcocolorado\n\n\nKnowing a trained person who can search, see and notice the faults within a vehicle is valuable. If you can, get them to follow you during the inspection or meet up so that they can spot the flaws within the vehicle if present.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n6) Bonus Tip: Cover Your Car!\n\n\nAfter you have got everything in your checklist ticked, be sure to have a \nComplete and Comprehensive Car and Motor Insurance from Allianz\n. This protects your car against liabilities to other parties for injuries, accidental fire or theft of your car.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThis article was produced in partnership with Allianz Malaysia.\n\n", "Carsome Author", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

You can be as careful with your car as you can be, but you can never know when you might drive around a tight corner, motorcyclists scratching your car as they drive through during traffic jams, freewheeling shopping carts, other cars ramming into your car and thousand other scenarios that might cause a dent or scratch on you car.\n\n\n\n\nSo if you are reading this article, your car might want to fix the dents and scratches on your car. Here are some DIYs fixes that can be done at home to get your car looking presentable, but truth be told, this is not workshop quality. If these scratches or dents are bad, then you don\u2019t have a choice but to visit the workshop and get them done nicely. But for those small ones, these DIYs would surely do the job.\n\n\nDIY fixes for Dents and Scratches\n\n\nScratches\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSandpaper \u2013 \nIf the scratch is just over the first or second layer of paint, all you need to get them off is a 3000-grit wet sandpaper and some water. First, clean the area so that there is no dirt around the area. Drip some water over the scratch and rub it with the sandpaper lightly in a circular motion. Do remember to put the sandpaper over a wooden block so that the force is evenly distributed. Continue doing it until the scratches are gone and apply a coat of polish over it to finish it off properly.\n\n\nScratch Remover Cloth\n \u2013 A scratch remover cloth is basically an abrasive cloth with some micro-metal rubbing powder sprinkled over it. It works exactly like the sandpaper, but just less messy and this cloth is easier to deal with. All you need is some water and this cloth will do the work for you.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nToothpaste\n \u2013 Every household would surely have a tube of toothpaste or more in their bathroom. All you need to remove that annoying paint scratches on your car is a pea-sized dab of toothpaste and a damp cloth. \nRub the toothpaste over the scratch in a circular motion as you see the scratch disappear like magic. Tip: Tooth Whitening paste works best in this case as it\u2019s most abrasive.\n\n\nRubbing Compound\n \u2013 Mostly whenever your car rubs lightly with another car\u2019s bumper, the paint from the other car sticks onto your car. Now, you might think that it\u2019s a scratch but thankfully it is not. All you need to do is remove that layer and use a rubbing compound to cut through it. Clean the area, take a dab of paint correction rubbing compound and rub over the area in a circular motion using a cloth. In just a few minutes you will not even notice imperfection.\n\n\n\n\nDents\n\n\n\n\nBoiling Water \u2013 \nThis is an old age technique that works till this very day on dented bumpers. You need two pots, one with boiling water, and the other with cold water. What you need to do is then pour the hot water over the dent to make the dented bumper malleable enough so that you can push it out from the inside. Next, pour the cold water over it to cool down the area.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHair Dryer\n \u2013 If you are afraid of burning yourself with the hot water, another similar alternative is using a hair dryer as the concept is pretty similar. Heat up the dented area enough so that you can pop out the dent.\n\n\nPlunger\n \u2013 You\u2019ll need a plunger that\u2019s smaller than the dent, and if the dent is pretty small, you can even use a suction cup from your in-car mobile phone holder. You need a little water on both the plunger or the suction cup and the car to help create a seal. Push it all the way down to get the air out and pull hard. The dent will pop right out!\n\n\n\n\nIf these DIYs to fix dents and scratches didn\u2019t help in getting the job done, then the only other way to take it to a professional body shop and get it done up perfectly. But according to most people, this DIYs does the job of removing obvious dents and scratches pretty well. Another way is to sell off your current car for another car at \nCarsome\n!

Nonetheless, it all depends on the depth of the damage as well.\n\n\n\n\nUnderstanding Your Car\u2019s Paint Layers\n\n\nBefore you get to work, it\u2019s best you understand the many layers that make up the paint and the protective layers over the panels of your car\u2019s body.\n\n\nTypically, the layers comprise the following:\n\n\n\n\nMetal\n \u2013 This is basically the bare metal surface of the body panels or shell of the vehicle.\n\n\nPrimer\n \u2013 The first layer over the metal would be the primer and its main purpose is to prepare the metal surface for painting. Primer fills in rough surfaces and smoothens them over but more importantly, it helps the paint bond to the surface better and prevents slipping, peeling, or flaking. This layer is usually a flat gray color.\n\n\nPaint\n \u2013 As the name suggests, the paint is laid over the primer and is what gives the car its color. Usually, premium marques will apply more layers of paint for a deeper, richer finish.\n\n\nClear coat\n \u2013 Clear coat is the first line of defense for your paint against the environment. It\u2019s the transparent layer over the paint that enhances the look of the paint by giving it that glossy finish.\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nCan You Change Your Car Paint Color in Malaysia?\n\n\nInspecting the Scratch\n\n\nFirst things first, you\u2019ll need to determine if the damage is confined to purely cosmetic or if the metal surface has been dented. If it\u2019s the latter, we\u2019ve got some bad news for you.\n\n\nNo amount of remedying the paint is going to fix the dent. This signals the time to whip out that cold, hard cash for the experts.\n\n\nTo check for a dent, gently rub your hand over the scratch to examine if the damage is constrained purely to the layers over the metal or if there\u2019s an indentation as well. Unfortunately, it doesn\u2019t take much force to deform the metal. If you feel a little depression in the metal, the damage is, quite literally, beyond skin deep.\n\n\nOnce you\u2019ve established that the surface metal is unscathed, the next step would be to make out how many layers were compromised.\n\n\nIf you notice some gray within the damaged area, this indicates that the scratch is quite deep and has penetrated until the primer. We\u2019d recommend having this handled by the experts. If you attempt to fix it yourself and don\u2019t get the primer right, the paint won\u2019t stick properly after repainting or the surface won\u2019t be perfectly smooth.\n\n\nIf there\u2019s no indication of gray, this likely means the scratch isn\u2019t very deep, and the odds of fixing this at home increase tremendously.\n\n\nRead More: \nWrap vs Paint: A Guide to Refresh Your Car\u2019s Looks\n\n\n\n\nSteps to Repair the Scratched Paint\n\n\nAnother step before embarking on attempts to repair your car\u2019s paint would be to understand paint transfer. This means that during contact with the other surface, paint from either side was transferred over to the other due to friction during the contact.\n\n\nIf you notice bits of color from the other surface on your car\u2019s paint, it could very well mean the original paint underneath is still very much salvageable.\n\n\n\n\nWash the affected area with water to remove any dirt or residue. Attempting to repair a dirty surface could result in more scratches.\n\n\nLeaving the area wet, continue spraying water onto the contact patch and rub lightly with a microfiber cloth to see if the foreign color comes off. If water alone doesn\u2019t get it off, apply some polish onto the microfiber and gently rub following the grain of the scratch.\n\n\nFailing which, next would be to swap the polish with some mild rubbing compound. You can purchase this at petrol stations or home hardware shops like Mr. DIY. Go for the higher grit rating in the 2000 \u2013 3000 range as it wouldn\u2019t be as abrasive. In most cases, this should remove the foreign paint and smoothen out the scratch.\n\n\nIf you discover that the paint on your car has been cut, clean the area with water and wipe it dry with a microfiber cloth. Next, take some fine-grit sandpaper (2000 grit or higher) and gently sand it in the direction of the scratch. This step will smoothen out the clear coat or paint surface leading to it appearing much better.\u00a0\n\n\nFollowing this, go with a clean microfiber cloth and some mild rubbing compound but be sure to put your back into it. The additional force coupled with the compound will further smoothen out the scratch and begin to bring back the shine in the clear coat\u2026 if it hasn\u2019t been completely peeled off.\u00a0\n\n\nThen, finish it off with some \npolish\n. The basic idea is to slowly transition from the rougher fine-grit sandpaper towards less abrasive compounds before ultimately ending with polish to complete the DIY repairs. By now, the area will look much cleaner and less blemished than before.\n\n\nLast but not least, apply some wax over the area to further restore the clear coat\u2019s sheen and give it that wet, glossy look like a freshly detailed car.\n\n\n\n\nThese steps will help you remove most scratches from your car\u2019s paint and keep it clean. However, if you have more severe scratches and dents exposing the metal, you should get them looked at by a professional sooner rather than later to prevent the formation of rust on the metal.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a quality and affordable pre-owned car, visit \nCARSOME\n today or download our app from the \nGoogle Play Store\n or \nApple App Store\n.\n\n", "Amarnath", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

In the recent news, we\u2019ve seen really bad cases of flood due to the non-stop heavy downpour on the East Coast of Malaysia, mainly in Kelantan, Terengganu, and Pahang.\u00a0 So, what do you do if you have to drive through these flooded roads? Also what happens if your car is caught in the flood? Continue reading to find out everything you need to know when it comes to cars and flood.\n\n\n\n\nHow to Drive Through Flooded Roads (If Necessary)\n\n\nIf you are ever caught in a flooded road, the first thing to do is check your map to see if there are any other routes you can take to reach your destination without passing through the flood. If not, here are some driving tips in such times of duress.\n\n\nAlways Keep your Car in a Running and Moving \u2013 \nOne thing you should never do is bring your car to a total stop during a flood. You should always keep your car moving slowly but at a constant, steady speed without accelerating too much as that might cause water to seep into the vital parts of the car like through the exhaust. This can be really dangerous as it can cause damage to your engine. Remember to always drive in a lower gear, as anything beyond second gear can cause the car to stall.\n\n\nKeep Revving the Engine\n \u2013 If you think the level of flood is low enough to pass through, drive your car on first gear and continuously rev the engine while you drive. This revving will stop the water from entering the engine and prevent stalling or seizing of the engine.\n\n\n\n\nDo Not Restart Your Car if it Stops\n \u2013 If your car is stalled in water, make sure you do not restart your engine immediately. If you restart your car immediately, you may cause additional stress on the engine\u2019s connecting rods which might lead to them breaking apart. Restarting your engine can also cause water to leak into the electrics, which may cause a fire.\n\n\n\n\nSwitch on Your Lights and Turn Off the Air Conditioning\n \u2013 Your headlights will not only help you see the road better, but it also alerts other cars around you of your presence. The lights might also help you guess how deep the water-logged roads are. After your lights are on, make sure to turn off the air conditioning system as the rising water level could quite easily damage the fan that sits in the engine compartment.\n\n\nDo Not Panic\n \u2013 If you panic, you cannot think straight on what to do next which can be really dangerous, and this might cause an accident. Always remain calm and try your best to exit your car in a safe manner. The pressure of the water outside might prevent your doors from opening, so if this happens, try using force by pushing the door with both your legs. If that does not work, you can use your headrest or something else to break one of the door\u2019s window to escape safely.\n\n\nWhat to do if Your Car is Submerged in Flood Water\n\n\nCheck the Water Level\n \u2013 The first thing you need to do if your car was submerged in the flood water is wait for the water to recede before checking the condition of your car. Flooded water usually leaves traces of mud on the surface of your car, especially the exterior of the car. Checking this is important to assess the possibility of damage whether the flood water has submerged the entire car and has entered the engine and other parts of the car.\n\n\n\n\nDo Not Start Your Engine\n \u2013 If a flood has submerged your entire car including the cabin and engine space, never start your car\u2019s engine because that can cause a short circuit. Major components such as engines and gear systems can be damaged by the flood waters. All you need to do is to remove the battery of your car and call a mechanic or tow it to your service center.\n\n\nCheck the Engine/Gearbox\n \u2013 Once your car is at the workshop, do check the engine and the gearbox. Check the dipstick of your car. If it exceeds the actual amount, this means your engine has been flooded. Your engine oil and gear oil might have been mixed with water, so it\u2019s safer to remove them and replace them with new ones. You should flush it 3-5 times depending on your mechanic\u2019s advice, as water that is mixed with engine oil / gearbox fluid can affect the performance of your car.\n\n\nFlush the Petrol (If Needed)\n \u2013 If the petrol tank is positioned on the lower side of your car, it increases the probability of flood water entering the tank. You then should remove the petrol that has been mixed with water to avoid more serious damage to your engine. Do check with your mechanic on how this process should be done.\n\n\nRemove and Dry Components of Your Car\n \u2013 Any removable components in the car such as the radio should be removed and dried properly. Wash your car with a heavy jet especially the engine and brake parts. However, never spray water towards the air filter holes and lubricating oil lids. In addition, clean the dirt on the interior part of your car like the cushions to avoid any kind of nasty odor. You can use the help of a professional cushion cleaner to get this job done effectively.\n\n\nWe hope this article will be able to help you if you ever get stuck in a flooded road. Do remember it\u2019s always safer to leave your car if the flood starts to get worse as your life is much more important to us.

If anyone recalled during the Taman Sri Muda floods, vehicle thefts have been reported by opportunistic scavengers looking to turn these vehicles into scrap or to be sold for a quick buck. Such a case has found its first victim as \nFuntastiko reports\n a man purchased a used Toyota Yaris without knowing it was a flooded car until it was too late. This begets the question: how \ndo you spot a flooded car\n offered by a dealer?\n\n\nRead More: \nHow to Drive Through Flooded Roads\n\n\nFirst Impressions, Surface level\n\n\nCheck the Inner Trimmings of the Vehicle\u2019s Seat Belt\n\n\nNo matter how well-done a shoddy refurbishment for a flooded car is, there are still some intricacies that tend to be \noverlooked\n. If you are suspicious that you\u2019re viewing a flooded car, give the seatbelt a yank till it cannot be pulled any further. If this is a flooded car, the inner trimmings of the seatbelt tend to be damp and sometimes caked in dirt and mud.\n\n\nSniff and look around for a damp or mildew smell.\u00a0\n\n\nFlood water usually contains all sorts of nasty stuff that it can pull up from anywhere. Once the water subsides, flood-affected areas seen in pictures are commonly caked in mud and dirt. If you have never been to a flood site, picture the smell being just like damp soil that occurs after heavy rain. This odor is known as a mildew smell. Pull up all the floor carpets to check for wet and dampness around the car. Also, do take note if the cabin of the vehicle is bombarded with plenty of air fresheners.\n\n\nStart the Car. It\u2019s That Simple.\n\n\nA foolproof way to test the vehicle on the spot is as simple as starting the engine. If you hear clicking noises from the car, it\u2019s a sign that the starter relay is either faulty or water damaged.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nVehicle Left Sitting and Your Car Cannot Start its Engine? These Might be the Culprits.\n\n\nDevil\u2019s in the Details.

(Source: \nScotty Kilmer\n)\n\n\nAssuming the dealer did not change the engine oil, take out the dipstick and observe it. A flooded car will either have a milky or damp dipstick. This is a sign that water has successfully seeped into the combustion chamber.\n\n\nCheck the Color of the Engine Oil\n\n\nSource: \nqmotor\n\n\nProper running engine oil will always be brown or black like your ex\u2019s heart. If water has seeped into the engine, the engine oil will look brownish, chocolate milk in color since oil and water do not mix well. We apologize if we may have ruined your favorite beverage with this image.\u00a0\n\n\nRusty or Brand New Screws and Springs\n\n\nCheck underneath the metal hinges and screws under the car seats. Flooded cars tend to have plenty of rust or mud residues hidden in the intricacies of the vehicle. On some occasions, a hardworking shoddy dealer will attempt to replace any rusty bolts and screws with brand new ones. Always ask the dealer what happened to the old parts and why they need to be replaced to get a better picture of the vehicle\u2019s background.\n\n\nDamp or Brand New Air Filters\n\n\nLook out for the yellowish line on the filter. (Source: \nBoost Brothers\n)\n\n\nJust like metal parts, keep an eye out for still-damp or brand-new air filters located inside the air filter box. Soaked air filters have a visible water line to indicate how badly the water level affected this vehicle.

Here are the dangers of buying a flooded car and signs you can look out for to avoid buying one.\n\n\nWhy Are Flooded Cars Dangerous\n\n\nHealth Issues\n\n\nA major problem for a car that has been flooded and was not cleaned properly is that it could lead to dangerous health issues.\n\n\nThe primary reason being floodwater is not exactly clean. It carries unseen germs and waste which could lead to unpleasant smells and unhealthy bacteria lingering within the nooks and crannies of your car.\n\n\nNot to mention, the damp condition of the car could cause mold to develop, which in turn will cause respiratory problems to the driver and the passengers if left unattended.\n\n\nEngine Problems\n\n\n\n\nEngine and floodwater are not a good combination. When floodwater reaches the engine, it contaminates the oil that keeps mechanical components inside the engine running smoothly and it could also damage the components in your engine.\n\n\nAll these could lead to accelerated wear and tear, which could result in unforeseen accidents in the future. Trying to fix a submerged car usually is very costly and there is no guarantee that it will be able to run without issues in time to come.\n\n\nVoided Warranty\n\n\nUsually, a manufacturer\u2019s warranty offers protection from certain mechanical and electrical issues with your car. They are not designed to cover you from natural occurrences such as flooding.\n\n\nWhen a car is involved in a flood, the warranty will be voided. Without a warranty, fixing a car could be expensive and you might need to spend more money to purchase an extended warranty package for the said car.\n\n\nSigns a Car Has Been Flooded\n\n\nBad Odor\n\n\nThe easiest way to tell if the car has been exposed to large amounts of water is by sniffing it. A car\u2019s interior has lots of water-absorbing components like the carpet, seats, sponges in the door trims, and many more.\n\n\nUnless proper steps have been taken to completely clean and dry these components, residual flood water will still be trapped inside them, causing musty smells and accelerating the growth of mold and fungi.\n\n\nIf you can detect damp, moldy aromas all over the car and you can see mildew forming on the window, you\u2019re probably looking at a flood-affected car.\n\n\nFaulty Electronics\n\n\n\n\nModern cars are usually equipped with lots of electronic parts that allow the car to run in optimum condition. However, when a car is flooded, these parts will definitely be affected since they\u2019re prone to water damage.\n\n\nBe sure to check every electrical part such as headlights, power window, radio, and others to see if they\u2019re working properly and make sure that no warning lights are on when the engine is running as well as when you are driving the car.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re facing issues with any of them, a further investigation might be needed.\n\n\nRust All Over\n\n\n\n\nAnother major sign that shows a car has been flooded is excessive rusting. Normally, some parts of the car will be affected by rust, but flooding will accelerate and spread the development of rust.\n\n\nYou should check for rust under the interior carpets, the seat railings, and the space where the spare tire is located as well. These spots are usually affected when a car is flooded and without proper drying and cleaning, will lead to the formation of rust.\n\n\nRead: \nHow to Drive Through Flooded Roads\n\n\nStay Flood Free with Carsome Certified Cars\n\n\nIt may be difficult to ensure the car you\u2019re buying is in top-notch condition but with Carsome, the process of buying a pre-owned car is made as transparent, seamless, and convenient as possible.\n\n\nAll Carsome Certified cars have gone through an extensive 175-point inspection that is conducted by our certified inspectors.

Why? Because we thought that this year would be the year that total modernization takes place, where the whole world becomes futuristic with robots, flying cars and advanced floating cities.\n\n\n\n\nBut what we got in 2020 is nothing close. Rather, we got forest fires, a pandemic, ongoing wars, and the biggest economic crisis ever! But fret not, because behind every dark cloud is a silver lining, or a flying car, you never know.\n\n\nThough we may not be filling our skies with flying vehicles in the near future, Japan has actually made the dream of driving a flying car possible with the introduction of SD-03, an electrical vertical takeoff and landing vehicle.\n\n\nJapan Makes the Flying Car Dream Come True\n\n\nThe only way we would ever be able to fly on our own (especially now with Covid-19 and social distancing) without Tinkerbell\u2019s magic flying dust is with a flying car and thanks to Japan\u2019s modern technology, we MIGHT not need airplanes any longer. SkyDrive is one of the many companies in Japan that are trying their best to roll out the very first flying car into the world\u2019s automobile market. Their \nsuccess prototype SD-03\n made headlines when it flew off the ground and stayed up in the air for 4 minutes straight.\n\n\n\n\nThe vehicle has one seat and operates with eight motors and two propellers on each corner. It lifted about 3 meters (about 10 feet) into the air and was operated by a pilot, as mentioned by the company. There were various prototypes designed 5 years ago with fixed wings but the SD-03 is one of the most compact in size and lighter in weight compared to the others. It uses eVTOL which is a method of taking off and landing vertically from destination A to destination B. The usage of a flying car is also said to decrease the congestion rate in airports and highways in the future.\n\n\nTomohiro Fukuzawa, the CEO of SkyDrive, hopes that the success of the flying car would convince the general public that this can be made into a mode of transportation in the future that is both secured and safe at the same time. He also hopes that the car might be fully operational for the automobile market in 2023.\n\n\nMalaysia, Wawasan 2020, and Flying Cars\n\n\nNow, going back to Malaysia and the year 2020 being all futuristic. If you don\u2019t know why there were lots of memes floating around social media about flying cars on the first day of 2020, it all started back in 1991 when Malaysian Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad unveiled Vision 2020 (or better known as Wawasan 2020) which outlined several policies that looked to enhance the economic, social well-being, education, political stability and psychological balance of Malaysians.\n\n\nimage source: Mashable SE Asia\n\n\nBut why floating cars you might ask? Back in the 90s when the \u2018Wawasan 2020\u2019 was announced, it also made its way to the schooling system and students were asked to describe their take on this. Majority would describe it mainly with flying cars, robots, and futuristic cities (one that would look similar to Wakanda).

This collaboration aims to market, conduct operations, and maintain Super Drones in the country in the long run. The Super Drone uses a 16-blade fan configuration to provide the ability to fly and land vertically. This model can carry two passengers at a time.\n\n\nMalaysia\u2019s first flying car prototype will be driven by local technology. It is built by a Japanese-based Malaysian company that specializes in aerospace, drones, UAVs, and national cars. The project, which is expected to cost around one million ringgit, was developed for the transport agriculture, medical and security sectors. The UAS EHang 216 Super Drone (EH216) is expected to make its first flight to the Maldives following a failure to obtain flight test approval from the Civil Aviation Authority of Mal\naysia (CAAM).\n\n\n\n\nSo, what do you think? Do you think you would be able to drive or ride a flying car in the future? Before that, you would need to sell off your current car to make space for that, and the best place to sell it off is to Carsome. \nCarsome\n is the one stop center that buys and sells quality cars without much hassle.

Here's Why & How You...", "Car Loan Rejected as a Fresh Grad? Here\u2019s Why & How You Can Buy Your First Car", "By\n \nCarsome Author", "26/11/2022", "\n\n\n\n\n", "\n\nCongratulations, you\u2019ve made it! Now that you are officially a fresh graduate, the rest of your future is here. With that, you might have secured a job and are now on the lookout for your first car.\n\n\nHowever, getting your loan approved as a fresh graduate can be difficult because of stringent bank criteria. Here are five common reasons why banks may be rejecting your car loan application.\n\n\nRelated article: \nHow are Car Loans and Interests Calculated?\n\n\n1. You Don\u2019t Have a Credit Score\n\n\nWhen applying for a car loan, you\u2019ll definitely hear the terms \nCentral Credit Reference Information System\n \n(CCRIS)\n \n\u00a0or \nCredit Tip-Off Service (\nCTOS)\n.\u00a0 CCRIS is managed by the Credit Bureau of Bank Negara Malaysia, whereas CTOS is a private agency. Most financial institutions in Malaysia use both CTOS and CCRIS reports to evaluate your credit health.\u00a0\n\n\nHowever, CCRIS does not calculate a credit score, instead, it lists your credit information from financial service providers including insurance brokers, telecommunication companies and of course, banks. This just means they can see every financial commitment you have.\u00a0\n\n\nOn the other hand, CTOS generates a credit score as a three-digit number. Your \ncredit score\n is generated by calculating the percentages of the following:\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0your payment history;\n\n\n\u00a0other loan amounts;\n\n\n\u00a0length of credit history;\n\n\n\u00a0new credit applications; and\n\n\n\u00a0your legal track record\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe higher you score, the better \u2013 any number below 651 is viewed as below average and it might dent your overall application. You can view the CTOS\u2019 credit scorecard \nhere\n.\u00a0\n\n\nAs a fresh graduate, you may not have a credit score as you do not have any loans under your name. So on the CTOS scale, your credit score falls under \u201cNo score\u201d. Because of this, banks are unable to determine your financial status and decide if you can afford the loan. Hence, banks are more wary of lending to you because they have no assurance that you will be able to repay the loan amount.\u00a0\n\n\n2. You Are Newly Employed & Cannot Supply the Required Documents\n\n\nWhen applying for a car loan, you will need to present your financial documents which include payslips for employed individuals. Most banks require at least six months of employment history to ensure you have stable income to finance the loan.\u00a0\n\n\nUnfortunately, as a fresh graduate, you might have just scored your first job which means you have to wait at least six months before applying for a loan. Other supporting documents required include your Employee Provident Fund (EPF) statements, which you won\u2019t have unless you have been employed before.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Your Debt Service Ratio (DSR) is Too High\n\n\nBut let\u2019s say you have been employed for at least six months but in the months prior to that, you took up a credit card \u2013 this will then be reflected in your CCRIS and CTOS reports. From there, banks will refer to these credit obligations as your monthly financial commitments. They will then calculate your Debt Service Ratio (DSR) to find out if you can afford another loan (the car loan you applied for).\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThis DSR is important because it can make or break your application \u2013 in essence, it measures if you have enough cash on hand to sustain a lifestyle after deducting your monthly commitments. Every DSR limit is different in each bank. For example, if a bank\u2019s DSR limit was 70 percent, any DSR percentage above 70 would most likely be rejected, or subject to closer review. A \nhealthy DSR\n would be between 30 and 40 percent.\u00a0\n\n\nThe DSR is calculated by dividing your monthly financial commitments (loans, credit cards, etc.) with your total monthly income.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Your Guarantor\u2019s Documents Are Not Strong Enough\n\n\nOne way to strengthen your loan application is by using a guarantor. A \nguarantor\n is someone who will be legally bound to settle any outstanding amount if the principal borrower (the loan applicant) defaults.\u00a0\n\n\nBanks are more likely to approve your application if you have a strong guarantor because if anything happens, the guarantor will be obligated to settle any unpaid portion of the loan. So, if you have tried to apply with a guarantor but your loan was still rejected, it may also be because your guarantor was not strong enough.\u00a0\n\n\n\u201cStrong\u201d in this sense refers to your guarantor\u2019s financial status and if they can afford the commitment should you (the loan applicant) fail to comply with the repayment terms. A guarantor will need to submit their income documents as well for the bank to ensure his or her financial standing is acceptable.\u00a0\n\n\n5. Car Loan Approvals Are Tougher During the Pandemic\n\n\nOn top of the reasons above, banks have become stricter in car loan approvals. \nMalaysian Automotive Association (MAA) president Datuk Aishah Ahmad\n said applicants are faced with longer approval times because lenders are adding on to the criteria required for approval. This includes whether the potential borrower is working from home, or what type of industry they are involved in.\u00a0\n\n\nSadly, this makes it harder for graduates, especially now, to finance a car \u2013 those who have just scored their first job may need to forego their plans on owning a car during these times. But fortunately, most banks in Malaysia now offer graduate schemes that you can apply for if you\u2019re buying your first car as a fresh graduate and CARSOME also has a product specially for graduates to finance their first car easily.\n\n\nYou Can Try to Apply For a Graduate Scheme\n\n\nAs a fresh graduate, it will be quite impossible for you to prepare all the required documents needed to apply for a conventional car loan. Apart from that, you\u2019ll also need to fulfill other loan requirements such as submitting your latest pay slip and preparing at least 10 percent of the down payment for the car you want to buy.\n\n\nBut with a graduate scheme, you can own a vehicle without having to prepare a hefty down payment, submitting various documents, or a high minimum wage. If your application is approved, you\u2019ll be able to finance up to 100 percent of the car price with a loan tenure of up to nine years but with an interest rate that is slightly higher compared to conventional car loans \u2013 around 0.10 to 0.20 percent higher (normal interest rates will vary from 2.8 to 4.5 percent).\n\n\nHere\u2019s a list of local banks that provide graduate schemes if you\u2019re interested in applying for one:\n\n\n\n\nCIMB \u2013 \nFirst Car Financing\n\n\nBank Muamalat \u2013\n \nMuamalat Auto Grad Scheme\n\n\nBank Rakyat \u2013 \nVehicle Financing-i (An Naqlu 2) \u2013 Graduate Scheme\n\n\nMaybank \u2013\n \nMy First Car Plan\n\n\nBank Islam \u2013\n \nVehicle Financing-i GradONE\n\n\n\n\nEligibility\n\n\nTo be eligible to apply for the graduate scheme, you must be:\n\n\n\n\nMalaysian\n\n\nAged between 20 to 35 years old*\n\n\nMust be a graduate with a minimum qualification of Diploma or Degree*\n\n\nApplication must be made within five years from the date of graduation*\n\n\nMinimum wage of RM1,800 and above*\n\n\nMust earn a fixed salary*\n\n\nOnly applicable for new national car purchase\n\n\n\n\n*Requirements may differ based on the bank and their terms and conditions.\n\n\nRequired Documents\n\n\nIf you\u2019re eligible to apply for a graduate scheme loan, here\u2019s a list of all the documents you need to prepare for your application:\n\n\n\n\nCopy of MyKad\n\n\nCopy of Driving Licence\n\n\nCopy of Certified Diploma/Degree or transcript\n\n\nCopy of Employment Offer Letter\n\n\nCopy of latest three months salary slip (if applicable) and/or copy of latest three months bank statement (if applicable)\n\n\n\n\n*\nRequirements may differ based on the bank and their terms and conditions.\n\n\n**Banks reserve the right to request for additional documents.\n\n\nOr You Can Get Your First Car With CARSOME Capital\n\n\nBanks perceive that fresh graduates carry a higher financial risk compared to borrowers from older age groups. This is why their loan applications have a higher chance to be rejected. Hence, CARSOME Capital has launched a hassle-free solution where fresh graduates, or those with a minimum of a Degree within five years of graduation, can now secure their first car.\n\n\n\n\nThis is because \nCARSOME Capital\n allows \ngraduate applicants aged up to 35 years old\n to apply with just their Employment Letter of Offer!\u00a0\n\n\nYou can also apply for a loan tenure of up to nine years which means you can have a more affordable monthly payment amount. Here are the full requirements:\n\n\n\n\nApply with an Employment Letter of Offer: \nAll it takes is showing your offer letter. This is to prove you will have income to support the loan repayment. This is great for graduates who have just accepted their first job, or have just recently secured a new job, as you don\u2019t have to provide up to six months of income documentation as you would with a conventional bank.\u00a0\n\n\nHold at least a Degree certification:\n You are eligible as long as it is within five years from your graduation date.\u00a0\n\n\nYou only need a comfort guarantor: \nYou can apply with your\n \nparents as a comfort guarantor. This is different from the conventional guarantor that common banks require. For CARSOME Capital, you can supply any form of income from your comfort guarantor with no minimum requirement.\u00a0\n\n\nDriver\u2019s License and Identification Card (NRIC): \nYou will need to provide your NRIC and driver\u2019s license. Your parents also need to submit their NRICs as a comfort guarantor.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTo top it off, you can conveniently repay your loan amount via Jompay. However, you can only apply for this auto-financing option when you buy a CARSOME Certified car.\u00a0\n\n\nBuy a CARSOME Certified Car for Quality Assurance\u00a0\n\n\nAll CARSOME Certified cars have passed our strict 175-point inspection to make sure it is free of major accidents, frame or flood damage.

There are plenty of misconceptions out there when it comes to what you can and should do in order to save fuel while driving your car, with some even being borderline ridiculous.\n\n\nIn this article, we\u2019ve aimed to shed some light on the truth about fuel consumption and debunk some of the most common myths surrounding it. By understanding the truth, you can make informed decisions about your car\u2019s fuel consumption, save money, and reduce your environmental impact.\n\n\nMyth 1: Premium Fuel is Always Better for Fuel Consumption\n\n\nOne of the most widely spread car myths in Malaysia is that premium fuel is always superior when it comes to fuel consumption. However, this is not entirely accurate. Premium fuel is only necessary for high-performance vehicles that require higher octane ratings. If you\u2019re driving a car that is designed to run on regular petrol, using premium fuel can actually reduce fuel efficiency and potentially harm the engine.\n\n\n\n\nSo, if you drive a Perodua Myvi, it\u2019s probably better for you to fuel up with RON 95 instead of the pricier RON 97. Better yet, it\u2019s always best to follow the car manufacturer\u2019s instructions to find out the best fuel to use for your car.\n\n\nMyth 2: Manual Transmission Cars are Always More Fuel Efficient\n\n\nWhen it comes to fuel efficiency, many people believe that manual transmission cars are always the better choice. However, the reality is a bit more complicated.\n\n\nWhile it\u2019s true that manual transmission cars can often achieve better fuel efficiency than their automatic counterparts, this isn\u2019t always the case. Modern cars with automatic transmissions have become much more efficient in recent years, with some even surpassing their manual counterparts in terms of fuel economy.\n\n\n\n\nFurthermore, the difference in fuel efficiency between manual and automatic transmissions can vary depending on a number of factors. For example, driving habits, traffic conditions, and vehicle weight can all impact how much fuel a car consumes. In some cases, an automatic transmission may actually be the more fuel efficient option.\n\n\nNowadays, automatic transmission cars have become more advanced and efficient, frequently offering better fuel economy than manual transmission cars. Moreover, some modern automatic transmission cars also come with eco-friendly driving modes that further improve fuel efficiency.\n\n\nMyth 3: Turning off the Air Conditioning Improves Fuel Consumption\n\n\nMalaysia is renowned for its hot and humid weather conditions, which is why it\u2019s a common practice for Malaysians to immediately turn on their car\u2019s air conditioning to its maximum power as soon as they get into the vehicle.\n\n\nWhile it\u2019s true that setting the air conditioning to the highest setting can result in a slight increase in fuel consumption due to the added load on the engine, this shouldn\u2019t deter drivers from using it, especially given the sweltering temperatures in Malaysia.\n\n\nIn fact, the difference in fuel consumption is negligible and shouldn\u2019t be a significant concern for drivers. Therefore, it\u2019s highly recommended that drivers continue to use their car\u2019s air conditioning system to stay cool and comfortable while driving, despite any minor impact on fuel consumption.\n\n\n\n\nThe benefits of staying cool and comfortable while driving in Malaysia\u2019s hot and humid weather far outweigh any minor increase in fuel consumption that may result from using the air conditioning. Plus, most modern vehicles now come with an automated climate control setting that automatically regulates the optimal temperature in the car accordingly. So, don\u2019t hesitate to crank up the air conditioning and enjoy your drive!\n\n\nRead more: \nKeeping Your Car\u2019s Air-Conditioning Cool & Problems to Look Out For\n\n\nMyth 4: Idling the Engine Is Better than Restarting\n\n\nHow often do you find yourself in a situation where you need to choose between idling the engine or turning it off completely? It\u2019s a pretty common situation in Malaysia and we\u2019re pretty sure everyone has experienced it, at least once.\n\n\nAnother widespread car myth in Malaysia is that idling the car engine consumes less fuel than restarting it. However, this is not true for modern cars. Restarting the engine consumes less fuel than idling for extended periods. Therefore, it is best to switch off the engine when the car is stationary for more than a minute to conserve fuel and reduce carbon emissions.\n\n\nWatch this video from the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources that explains how this actually works:\n\n\n\n\nMyth 5: It\u2019s Better to Fill Up Your Tank in the Morning\n\n\nAnother fuel-related myth that is popular among Malaysian drivers is that it\u2019s better to fill up their car\u2019s fuel tank in the morning when the fuel is cooler and denser, resulting in more fuel for their money.\n\n\n\n\nHowever, this is not true. The temperature difference between morning and afternoon is negligible, and modern fuel pumps have mechanisms that compensate for temperature changes, so the amount of fuel you receive will be the same regardless of the time of day.\n\n\nMyth 6: Adding Additives to Your Fuel Improves Fuel Economy\n\n\nDoes adding \nfuel additives\n to your car\u2019s fuel tank help to improve fuel economy? While some additives such as detergents, corrosion inhibitors, octane boosters, and cetane improvers may improve engine performance or reduce emissions, they are not likely to improve fuel economy in a significant way.\n\n\n\n\nIn fact, using the wrong type or amount of additive can even harm your engine or reduce its efficiency. So, it\u2019s best to stick to using high-quality fuel from reputable sources and follow your car manufacturer\u2019s recommendations for maintenance and fuel usage.\n\n\nMyth 7: Adding a Spoiler to Your Car Makes It More Aerodynamic for Better Fuel Efficiency\n\n\nThe higher or wider the spoiler you install, the better the aerodynamics of your car will be, thus will help you to save more fuel. But is it really true that adding a spoiler to your car can improve its aerodynamics and fuel efficiency?\n\n\n\n\nUnfortunately, this is not always the case. Spoilers are designed to create downforce and improve traction at high speeds, but they can also increase drag and reduce fuel efficiency. In fact, \nadding a spoiler\n to a car that is not designed to benefit from one can actually decrease its overall performance and fuel economy.\n\n\nIt\u2019s important to remember that car design and aerodynamics are complex topics, and adding aftermarket parts like spoilers or body kits can have unintended consequences. Before making any modifications to your car, it\u2019s best to consult with experts or your mechanic and do your research to ensure that you\u2019re making a wise investment that will improve your car\u2019s performance and efficiency, rather than harm it.\n\n\n(Bonus) Myth 8: New Car Smell Is Dangerous for Your Health\n\n\nEverybody loves the smell of a new car. But, a common myth surrounding the distinctive \u201cnew car smell\u201d that comes from the interior of a new car is that it is dangerous to breathe in and may even cause health problems! While it is true that some of the chemicals used in car manufacturing can be harmful, the level emitted from a new car\u2019s interior is typically very low and not likely to cause significant harm.\n\n\n\n\nTo minimize any potential risks, it\u2019s recommended to ventilate your car well when you first purchase it and to avoid sitting in your car for extended periods of time when it\u2019s parked in direct sunlight. It\u2019s also a good idea to take precautions to reduce your exposure to other potential toxins in your car\u2019s interior. You can do this by keeping your car well-ventilated, avoiding smoking or using air fresheners that contain harmful chemicals, and choosing car interiors that are made from low volatile organic compound materials or have been treated to reduce emissions.\n\n\nIn conclusion, by understanding the truth about fuel consumption and dispelling common everyday myths, you can make informed decisions that help you save money and reduce your environmental impact. Don\u2019t fall for these common myths and always do your research before making any decisions that could affect your car\u2019s fuel efficiency and performance.\n\n\nRemember that not everything you hear about cars is true, and it\u2019s always best to do your research and consult with experts to get accurate information first.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking to sell your old car or upgrade to a new one, head over to \ncarsome.my\n or \ndownload our mobile app\n and browse through our CARSOME Certified cars that have been refurbished professionally to ensure safety beyond standards, complete comfort, and refurbished aesthetics.\n\n", "Haziq Asyraf\nA self-proclaimed foodie and gamer whose passion for food and games has recently extended to cars.", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Dari aspek teknikal, thermostat kereta berfungsi mengawal aliran cecair penyejuk atau \nair \ncoolant\n dalam enjin. Ia sekali gus membolehkan sistem enjin mengekalkan suhu yang betul dan enjin berada dalam keadaan stabil dan baik dalam pelbagai situasi. Dalam kebanyakan situasi, thermostat kereta rosak boleh menyebabkan masalah kerosakan enjin yang serius seperti \ntemperature\n kereta naik\n \natau enjin kereta \noverheat\n.\n\n\n\n\n3 Perkara Penting yang Perlu Anda Tahu Tentang Thermostat Kereta\n\n\nSecara teknikal, sistem thermostat kereta tidaklah terlalu kompleks. Ia merupakan antara komponen yang paling ringkas dan mudah. Ini bermaksud, sebarang kerosakan pada komponen ini yang boleh didiagnosis dan dibaiki sendiri. Oleh sebab itu, Carsome menyenaraikan tiga (3) perkara penting yang perlu pemilik kereta ketahui tentang thermostat kereta termasuk fungsi thermostat, tanda thermostat rosak dan anggaran kos penggantian thermostat kereta untuk panduan dan rujukan anda.\n\n\nFungsi Thermostat Kereta\n\n\nFungsi thermostat kereta adalah untuk mengawal masukan amaun cecair penyejuk atau air \nradiator kereta\n yang memasuki ruang enjin. Thermostat kereta akan terbuka dan membenarkan cecair penyejuk mengalir memasuki ruang enjin untuk membantu mengekalkan prestasi enjin. Ia secara tidak langsung menyejukkan ruang dalaman enjin dan menghalang \nenjin kereta\n \noverheating\n. Secara amnya, haba panas daripada enjin akan menyebabkan ruang dalaman enjin menjadi semakin panas lebih-lebih lagi semasa enjin beroperasi.\n\n\n4 Tanda-tanda Thermostat Rosak\n\n\nKebanyakan masalah kerosakan thermostat kereta boleh dikenal pasti dengan mudah. Sekiranya anda mengesan sebarang tanda thermostat rosak atau kebocoran thermostat, gantikan komponen ini dengan segera. Ini kerana, thermostat kereta yang rosak berpotensi menjejaskan fungsi dan memberi kesan terhadap pengoperasian enjin, dan jika dibiarkan boleh memberi kesan kepada komponen-komponen penting lain dalam kereta. Carsome menyenaraikan empat (4) tanda thermostat rosak untuk panduan dan rujukan anda seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Bahan Penyejuk atau Air Radiator Bocor\n\n\nSalah satu simptom penting atau tanda thermostat rosak yang palik ketara ialah kebocoran cecair penyejuk atau air radiator bocor. Biasanya, masalah kebocoran air radiator berpunca disebabkan komponen thermostat ini tersekat atau tertutup. Seperti semua sedia maklum, air radiator dialihkan ke dalam radiator kereta untuk menyejukkan ruang enjin. Namun begitu, kerosakan thermostat menyekat laluan air radiator sekali gus menyebabkan air radiator melimpah keluar dari perumah thermostat. Kebocoran air radiator yang ketara boleh dilihat melalui tompokan bendalir pada bahagian bawah kereta terutamanya semasa kereta berhenti.\n\n\n2. \nTemperature\n Enjin Lebih Tinggi (atau Lebih Rendah) Berbanding Biasa\n\n\nSecara teknikal, tokok suhu enjin akan berada pada paras yang optimum semasa anda start kereta anda. Walau bagaimanapun, bacaan tokok suhu enjin atau\n temperature gauge\n pada kereta akan naik lebih tinggi daripada biasa atau jarum berada dalam zon merah jika terdapat sebarang kerosakan pada thermostat kereta. Masalah ini mungkin berpunca daripada aliran cecair penyejuk ke radiator kereta yang tersekat atau terganggu yang menyebabkan suhu enjin kereta meningkat secara mendadak dan ketara.\n\n\nBagi sesetengah\n model kereta baru\n, \nlampu amaran enjin\n \nakan menyala menandakan kemungkinan berlaku masalah atau kerosakan pada bahagian enjin kereta anda. Lakukan pemeriksaan segera dan jangan teruskan pemanduan jika lampu amaran ini menyala untuk mengelakkan kerosakan yang lebih serius.\n\n\n3. Penggunaan Bahan Api Lebih Tinggi\n\n\nSelain itu, tanda thermostat rosak juga boleh dikesan melalui peningkatan\n penggunaan bahan api\n \nyang lebih ketara berbanding biasa. Secara teknikal, thermostat kekal tertutup apabila enjin kenderaan dihidupkan sehingga ia mencapai suhu tertentu yang ditetapkan. Ia membolehkan suhu operasi enjin berada pada paras yang optimum dengan lebih cepat. Walau bagaimanapun, kerosakan pada thermostat (\nthermostat stuck open\n) boleh menyebabkan enjin tidak dapat mencapai suhu yang optimum ditetapkan. Ia secara tidak langsung menyebabkan kenderaan memerlukan penggunaan bahan api yang lebih tinggi untuk mencapai paras suhu operasi enjin yang optimum.\n\n\n4. Bunyi Bising, Berdentum dalam Ruang Enjin\n\n\nSelain itu, anda juga boleh mengesan tanda-tanda kerosakan komponen kereta melalui bunyi yang kedengaran daripada ruang enjin seperti \nbunyi berdengung, bunyi bersiul\n dan sebagainya. Enjin kereta yang menghasilkan bunyi-bunyi pelik berbanding kebiasaan menandakan terdapat masalah pada komponen tertentu kenderaan. Dalam konteks thermostat, tanda kerosakan thermostat boleh dikesan melalui bunyi aneh dan bising yang menyerupai bunyi ketukan (\nknocking\n), mendidih (\nboiling\n) atau membobok (\ngurgling\n).\n\n\nBunyi sebegini biasanya menandakan kerosakan dan kegagalan thermostat atau komponen-komponen lain yang berkaitan yang berpotensi menjejaskan fungsi dan prestasi enjin kenderaan. Untuk lebih kepastian, lakukan \npemeriksaan dan penyelenggaraan kereta\n secara menyeluruh untuk mengelakkan kos pembaikan dan kerosakan yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\nKos Penggantian Thermostat Kereta\n\n\nSecara amnya, kos penggantian atau harga tukar thermostat kereta tidak menelan belanja dan kos yang tinggi. Harga penyelenggaraan atau penggantian sebenar biasanya bergantung pada model dan jenis kenderaan anda. Secara purata, harga tukar thermostat kereta adalah sekitar RM50 hingga RM100 atau mungkin lebih rendah bergantung pada lokaliti.\n\n\nSelain itu, sekiranya anda ingin\n beli kereta terpakai\n yang berbaloi, selamat dan berkualiti, layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

Anda dah pun membeli kereta CARSOME Certified! Seronok tak? Lagi seronok apabila kereta yang anda beli itu sebenarnya dilindungi oleh waranti percuma selama setahun! Waranti ini adalah untuk ketenangan minda dan jiwa anda ketika memandu kereta CARSOME Certified.\u00a0\n\n\nSemua kereta CARSOME Certified dilindungi oleh waranti percuma iaitu \nProgram Waranti Lanjutan CARSOME (\nExtended Warranty Program\n \u2013 EWP)\n. Ada dua jenis waranti yang ditawarkan iaitu Pelan Emas dan juga Pelan Platinum. Pelan Emas merupakan pelan yang didatangkan kepada semua kereta CARSOME Certified yang anda beli.\u00a0\n\n\nApa bezanya antara dua pelan ini? Komponen kereta yang dilindungi. Pelan Platinum yang berbayar melindungi lebih banyak komponen kereta termasuklah komponen yang dilindungi dalam Pelan Emas.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nApa yang dilindungi oleh Pelan Emas? Komponen seperti enjin, pendingin hawa, dan juga transmisi, antara komponen yang sangat mahal jika perlu dibaiki. Bagi Pelan Platinum pula, semua komponen yang dilindungi oleh Pelan Emas beserta sistem bahan api, stereng, sistem penyejukan enjin, dan juga bantuan di atas jalan.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nProgram waranti ini disediakan oleh Allianz dan terdiri daripada dua pelan \u2013 Pelan Emas (\nGold\n) yang terpakai secara automatik untuk semua kereta kami dan pelan Platinum yang boleh dibeli sebagai pelan naik taraf pilihan.\u00a0\n\n\nWaranti ini akan melindungi komponen kereta anda selama setahun atau 20,000 kilometer atau yang mana sampai dahulu. Bagi perlindungan pula, maksimum perlindungan yang ditawarkan ialah sebanyak RM50,000 maksimum dan RM10,000 minimum bagi setiap tuntutan.\u00a0\n\n\nTetapi\u2026\n\n\nAnda nak tahu tak, ada beberapa kes di mana anda tak boleh nak tuntut waranti CARSOME apabila ada komponen kereta yang dilindungi rosak?\u00a0\n\n\nBerkemungkinan besar kerosakan yang terjadi itu akibat kecuaian yang sepatutnya boleh dielakkan. Jadi, untuk mengelakkan anda daripada tak boleh nak tuntut waranti, ini merupakan perkara yang anda patut jangan buat!\u00a0\n\n\n1. Menggunakan Kereta Untuk Tujuan Lain\u00a0\n\n\nKereta secara umumnya digunakan untuk mengangkut penumpang serta mungkin beberapa barangan peribadi yang tak besar dan berat. Tetapi, ada juga pemandu yang menggunakan kereta mereka untuk mengangkut barangan yang berat dan besar yang diletakkan di bahagian penumpang.\u00a0\n\n\nJika ada sebarang kerosakan komponen diakibatkan oleh perbuatan mengangkut barangan itu, waranti tidak boleh dituntut. Ini kerana kereta tersebut telah digunakan bagi mengangkut barangan selain daripada mengangkut manusia.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIni biasa dibuat oleh mereka yang berniaga atau mereka yang menghantar barang. Mereka tiada kenderaan yang sesuai untuk mengangkut barangan berat.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nAnda bukan saja tidak boleh menuntut waranti jika ada komponen yang rosak, malah anda berkemungkinan boleh disaman kerana ia merupakan kesalahan trafik \u2013 menggunakan kereta bagi membawa barangan yang tidak sesuai dalam kenderaan.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n2. Ubah Suai Komponen\u00a0\n\n\nWaranti CARSOME ini melindungi komponen tertentu jika ia mengalami kerosakan. Tetapi, jika komponen yang dilindungi ini diusik atau diubah suai untuk meningkatkan prestasi kereta, ia akan membatalkan waranti bagi komponen tersebut.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJika komponen yang dilindungi tersebut rosak, sama ada akibat ubah suai ataupun sebab berkaitan, anda tidak boleh menuntut waranti bagi kerosakan yang telah terjadi.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, jika anda ingin menukar sebarang komponen terutama komponen yang dilindungi, sila hubungi pihak insurans dahulu untuk dapatkan nasihat.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Kerosakan Komponen Akibat Tidak Servis Kenderaan\u00a0\n\n\nKereta ialah mesin yang sangat rumit. Ia memerlukan servis yang berkala bagi memastikan ia boleh berfungsi dengan lancar dan baik. Kegagalan untuk mematuhi jadual servis kereta boleh menyebabkan kerosakan pada komponen kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nJika berlaku kerosakan pada komponen yang dilindungi disebabkan kegagalan untuk servis kereta mengikut jadual, anda tidak boleh menuntut waranti. Ini kerana kerosakan yang terjadi adalah disebabkan oleh kecuaian anda sendiri.\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, jangan pernah tertinggal sekalipun untuk servis kereta anda sepanjang waranti masih lagi aktif ya! Kalau tidak, nanti anda tak boleh nak tuntut waranti untuk kerosakan tersebut.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Komponen Rosak Sebab Salah Guna Petrol\u00a0\n\n\nKereta bergerak menggunakan petrol. Itu fakta. Kebanyakan kereta di Malaysia menggunakan petrol jenis RON95 untuk bergerak.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKalau anda salah isi petrol ke dalam kereta anda, contohnya anda tersalah isi dengan diesel dan terjadinya kerosakan pada komponen yang dilindungi, waranti yang ada tidak akan melindungi kerosakan yang terjadi.\u00a0\n\n\n5. Membaiki Sendiri Komponen Yang Rosak\u00a0\n\n\nJika ada komponen kereta yang rosak, terutama sekali komponen yang dilindungi, jangan baiki sendiri! Terus bawa kereta anda ke bengkel panel yang disenaraikan oleh pihak insurans.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJika anda cuba membaiki kerosakan tetapi akhirnya kerosakan komponen tersebut menjadi lebih teruk, waranti akan terbatal dan anda tidak lagi boleh menuntut waranti yang ada.\u00a0\n\n\nDisebabkan itulah, jangan memandai-mandai cuba untuk membaiki sebarang kerosakan yang terjadi. Hantarkan terus ke \nbengkel\n dengan segera.\u00a0\n\n\n6. Kereta Digunakan Untuk Berlumba\u00a0\n\n\nKereta yang anda beli itu hanya digunakan untuk kehidupan seharian. Pergi dan balik kerja. Mungkin pergi jalan-jalan hujung minggu. Paling teruk pun, balik kampung jauh-jauh. Tapi jangan gunakan kereta yang dibeli untuk berlumba!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJika anda gunakan kereta anda untuk apa-apa bentuk perlumbaan dan berlaku kerosakan terhadap komponen yang dilindungi, anda tidak boleh menuntut waranti. Jadi, pastikan kereta hanya digunakan untuk tujuannya saja.\u00a0\n\n\n7. Odometer Diusik\u00a0\n\n\nOdometer merupakan alat yang digunakan untuk mengukur jarak yang telah dipandu oleh kereta. Ia juga mengukur had laju serta daya kilas semasa kereta sedang bergerak. Pada odometer juga ada terpampang beberapa lampu amaran untuk keadaan sistem tertentu seperti brek ABS dan sebagainya.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nOdometer ini tidak boleh diusik. Kerana ia mengandungi maklumat penting seperti perbatuan yang boleh digunakan untuk mengenal pasti keadaan kereta. Odometer biasanya diubah untuk mengubah perbatuan kereta supaya apabila ia dapat dijual dengan harga yang tinggi.\n\n\nJika odometer telah diusik dan perbatuan yang terpampang pada odometer adalah berbeza dengan rekod servis kereta, waranti akan terbatal.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n8. Kerosakan Disebabkan Bencana Alam\u00a0\n\n\nSetiap tahun, Malaysia akan dilanda beberapa bencana alam bencana yang berlaku secara berkala.\u00a0\n\n\nAntara bencana alam yang dimaksudkan seperti r\nibut, banjir, kilat, puting beliung, ribut kilat, hujan lebat, tsunami, penenggelaman bumi, tanah runtuh, runtuhan cerun, hujan batu, aliran lumpur, ribut pasir, dan lain-lain bencana alam.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAda bencana yang menjadi teruk hingga ia boleh merosakkan kenderaan yang terlibat. Untuk pengetahuan anda, jika komponen kereta anda rosak akibat bencana alam, waranti anda akan terbatal dan tidak boleh dituntut lagi.\u00a0\n\n\nJaga Kereta Anda Elok-Elok!\u00a0\n\n\nKereta anda merupakan antara komitmen kewangan paling besar yang anda ada. Jika ada sebarang kerosakan, nak membaikinya juga bukan murah. Ada kerosakan yang memakan belanja hingga ribuan ringgit untuk membaikinya!\u00a0\n\n\nJangan buat perkara yang tak sepatutnya dengan kereta anda. Jika ada sebarang kerosakan, pastikan ia dihantar ke bengkel kereta yang diiktiraf. Paling penting, jangan buat perkara-perkara di atas jika anda tak mahu waranti kereta anda terbatal!\u00a0\n\n\nKereta CARSOME Dengan Waranti CARSOME Barulah Selamat!\u00a0\n\n\nKereta terpakai tiada waranti? Itu zaman dahulu punya cerita! Kini, kereta pramilik CARSOME Certified dilindungi dengan waranti selama setahun. Warantinya pula PERCUMA!\u00a0\n\n\nSelain daripada waranti percuma, kereta CARSOME Certified juga diberikan dengan jaminan berikut:\u00a0\n\n\nHarga tetap:\n Harga yang anda lihat di CARSOME merupakan harga sebenar kereta tanpa bayaran tersembunyi jadi anda tahu berapa yang anda bayar.\u00a0\n\n\nJaminan pulangan tunai dalam lima hari:\n Jika anda membeli kereta CARSOME Certified dan ingin mengubah fikiran, anda boleh mengembalikannya dalam masa lima hari untuk dapatkan pulangan balik tunai.

Secara amnya, \ngearbox\n kereta berfungsi mengawal tork dan kelajuan kereta termasuk sistem klac kereta, sekali gus menjamin \nkeselamatan\n sepanjang pemanduan. Walau bagaimanapun, \ngearbox\n kereta terdedah kepada risiko kerosakan tertentu. Oleh sebab itu, penting untuk pemilik kenderaan mengetahui masa yang sesuai untuk menyelenggara atau menukar \ngearbox\n kereta, serta mengenal pasti sebarang tanda \ngearbox\n kereta auto rosak (atau\n gearbox\n manual) untuk mengelakkan kerosakan yang lebih serius.\n\n\n\n\n7 Tanda \nGearbox\n Kereta Auto Rosak (atau \nGearbox\n Manual Rosak) yang Perlu Diketahui\n\n\nSecara amnya, kegagalan atau kerosakan \ngearbox\n kereta boleh dikenal pasti melalui tanda yang ditunjukkan. Oleh sebab itu, penting untuk pemilik kenderaan mengetahui simptom asas kerosakan \ngearbox\n kereta yang mungkin berlaku. Berikut merupakan tanda \ngearbox\n kereta auto rosak untuk panduan dan rujukan anda:\n\n\n1. Minyak Gear Kurang, Enjin Kereta \nOverheat\n dan Berbau Hangit\n\n\nBau hangit atau hangus yang terhasil daripada ruang enjin menandakan ada komponen dalam kereta yang tidak berfungsi dengan baik dan memerlukan perhatian segera daripada anda. Namun biasanya, bau hangit atau hangus daripada ruang enjin menandakan \ngearbox\n kereta bermasalah \u2013 masalah ini berpunca disebabkan paras minyak\n gearbox\n yang rendah atau minyak\n gearbox\n bocor.\u00a0Apabila minyak \ngearbox\n bocor atau berkurangan, geseran yang berlebihan akan berlaku sekali gus menyebabkan enjin menjadi terlalu panas dan terbakar\n\n\nMeskipun begitu, dalam sesetengah keadaan, \nenjin kereta berbau hangit\n \nboleh berlaku disebabkan masalah-masalah lain seperti plastik atau teras pemanas yang mencair, bendalir antibeku yang menitik dalam ruang enjin. Sekiranya anda mengesan enjin kereta anda berbau hangit atau hangus, lakukan pemeriksaan dan diagnosis lengkap dengan segera untuk mengetahui punca sebenar dan mengelakkan kos pembaikan yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\n2. Bunyi Bergeser, Bunyi Hentakan \u201cDuk\u201d Semasa Menukar Gear\n\n\nSekiranya anda mendapati ada bunyi bising semasa anda menukar gear semasa memandu seperti bunyi berdengung atau bunyi hentakan, ia merupakan tanda \ngearbox\n kereta anda rosak dan perlu diselenggara. Bunyi-bunyi pelik seperti \nbunyi dentang (\nclunking\n) atau bunyi berdengung (\nhumming\n)\n besar kemungkinan berlaku disebabkan oleh kotak gear kereta yang bermasalah. Biasanya, masalah bunyi pelik ini berpunca daripada paras minyak \ngearbox\n yang rendah atau jenis minyak \ngearbox\n yang tidak sesuai digunakan dalam kereta anda.\n\n\nDalam sesetengah keadaan, bunyi bergeser berlaku disebabkan oleh proses pertukaran gear yang tidak betul. Namun sekiranya masalah ini berlanjutan, segera bawa ke bengkel kereta untuk pemeriksaan lanjut.\n\n\n3. Gear Tidak Responsif, \nFreeplay\n yang Lama Semasa Tukar Gear\n\n\nGearbox\n kereta yang berada dalam keadaan baik biasanya tidak akan menghadapi masalah peralihan gear dan proses peralihan gear boleh dilakukan dengan mudah tanpa sebarang masalah. Namun sekiranya gear kereta anda memberikan respons yang agak lambat, teragak-agak atau tidak memberikan sebarang respons langsung, ia bermaksud \ngearbox\n kereta anda mungkin menghadapi masalah serius yang memerlukan penyelenggaraan segera. Sebagai contoh, anda masukkan gear tiga namun respons pertukaran gear daripada gear dua kepada gear tiga lebih lambat dan tidak selancar biasa.\n\n\nBagi kereta dengan transmisi manual, peralihan gear yang tidak responsif ini biasanya disertai dengan lonjakan RPM dan bunyi enjin yang tidak selari dengan kelajuan kenderaan. Meskipun begitu, anda disarankan untuk menjalankan pemeriksaan lanjut sekiranya berdepan situasi sebegini untuk mengenal pasti punca masalah dengan lebih tepat.\n\n\n4. Lampu Amaran Enjin Menyala\n\n\nKebanyakan model kereta moden hari ini dilengkapi dengan sensor yang memainkan peranan penting dalam memicu amaran sekiranya mengesan sebarang permasalah dalam ruang enjin. Namun begitu, ramai dalam kalangan pemilik kenderaan mengambil mudah \nlampu amaran kereta\n (biasanya berkelip-kelip berwarna merah) yang menyala pada \ndashboard\n kereta. Umumnya, sistem sensor akan menyalakan lampu amaran enjin sekiranya mendapati berlaku kelewatan sentakan atau gegaran yang mungkin tidak disedari. Oleh sebab itu, pemilik kenderaan disarankan untuk bawa kereta ke bengkel dengan segera untuk pemeriksaan lanjut untuk ketenangan fikiran.\n\n\n5. Minyak \nGearbox\n Kereta Bocor\n\n\nSecara asasnya, kenderaan dilengkapi dengan enam (6) jenis bendalir utama \u2013 \nminyak hitam kereta\n, \nair \ncoolant\n, minyak \npower steering\n, minyak brek, minyak \ngearbox\n kereta dan\n \nair \nwiper\n kereta\n. Setiap bendalir ini memainkan peranan tersendiri; jika bocor atau tidak diselenggara mengikut jadual ia boleh mengganggu dan menjejaskan fungsi enjin. Minyak \ngearbox\n misalnya senang dikenal pasti jika berlaku kebocoran \u2013 minyak \ngearbox\n biasanya berwarna merah dan berbau manis (atau kadang-kala berwarna lebih gelap dan berbau tengik jika tidak ditukar atau diselenggara).\n\n\nAnda disarankan untuk sentiasa periksa paras minyak \ngearbox\n dalam kereta menggunakan \ndipstick\n yang tersedia. Jika paras minyak \ngearbox\n rendah, besar kemungkinan berlaku kebocoran minyak \ngearbox\n kerana minyak \ngearbox\n tidak terbakar seperti minyak enjin. Meskipun kebocoran minyak \ngearbox\n tidaklah terlalu serius, anda disarankan untuk lakukan pemeriksaan dengan segera untuk mengelakkan kerosakan pada komponen kereta lain yang boleh menelan belanja yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\n6. Gear Kereta Tak Masuk, Tersekat-sekat\n\n\nKenderaan yang menghadapi masalah gearbox atau berdepan risiko kerosakan biasanya mengalami kesukaran untuk tukar gear kereta dari gear P kepada D atau sebaliknya \u2013 poses pertukaran gear terasa terganggu, tersekat dan tidak lancar. Jika anda berdepan masalah pertukaran gear yang tidak lancar sebegini, segera bawa kereta anda ke bengkel untuk pemeriksaan lanjut. Kerosakan ini boleh menjadi lebih serius dan boleh menyebabkan kos pembaikan yang lebih tinggi jika tidak dibaiki dari awal.\n\n\n7. Gear Kereta Tergelincir\n\n\nSecara teknikal, kenderaan bergantung sepenuhnya pada input luaran untuk melakukan penukaran gear. Dalam konteks kereta manual misalnya, pemandu kereta menentukan setiap peralihan gear menggunakan tombol gear dan klac kereta. Bagi kereta automatik pula, pemandu melakukan penukaran gear dengan menggerakkan tombol gear ke R untuk undur, N untuk gear neutral atau D untuk bergerak. Jika anda mendapati gear kereta anda tergelincir tanpa sebarang input luaran, ia sangat berbahaya untuk pemanduan dan berpotensi merosakkan enjin kereta anda. Biasanya, isu gelinciran gear berlaku disebabkan oleh minyak gear yang kurang atau jalur transmisi yang sudah haus.\n\n\n\n\n6 Tips Penjagaan \nGearbox\n Kereta Auto, Elakkan Kerosakan dan Kos Pembaikan Tinggi\n\n\nKos pembaikan \ngearbox\n kereta boleh menelan belanja yang tinggi, namun semestinya bergantung pada model dan usia kereta anda. Oleh sebab itu, penting untuk anda menyelenggara\n gearbox\n kereta untuk mengelakkan kos pembaikan dan penyelenggaraan yang tinggi dan mahal. CARSOME menyenaraikan enam (6) aspek penjagaan penting \ngearbox\n kereta untuk untuk meningkatkan jangka hayat dan mengurangkan risiko kerosakan transmisi kereta seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Periksa Minyak \nGearbox\n Secara Berkala\n\n\nAnda disarankan untuk sentiasa memeriksa paras minyak \ngearbox\n kereta anda \u2013 jika paras minyak rendah, besar kemungkinan berlaku kebocoran dalam sistem transmisi kenderaan anda. Minyak \ngearbox\n kereta biasanya berwarna merah terang, jernih dan berbau manis. Namun sekiranya ia bertukar keruh, berwarna gelap atau berbau busuk, anda mungkin perlu tukar minyak \ngearbox\n kereta anda dengan segera.\n\n\n2. Jangan Tukar Gear Semasa Kereta Masih Bergerak\n\n\nSelain itu, pastikan kenderaan anda berhenti sepenuhnya sebelum anda menukar gear kereta anda. Sebagai contoh, jika anda ingin undurkan kereta, pastikan kereta berhenti sepenuhnya sebelum anda memasukkan gear R, begitu juga sekiranya anda ingin bergerak ke hadapan. Tabiat pemanduan sebegini boleh memberi tekanan berlebihan pada transmisi kereta dan boleh memberi kesan yang serius pada\n gearbox\n kereta anda.\n\n\n3. Tukar Tayar Ganti dengan Segera\n\n\nApabila \ntayar kereta pancit\n atau bocor, ada sesetengah pemilik kenderaan yang menggunakan tayar ganti untuk tempoh yang lama sebelum menukarnya semula kepada tayar asal. Meskipun isu penggunaan tayar ganti ini nampak kecil, ia sebenarnya memberi impak yang ketara terhadap prestasi \ngearbox\n kereta. Saiz tayar ganti yang tidak sepadan atau tabiat memandu dengan tayar ganti untuk tempoh yang lama boleh memberi tekanan yang tidak perlu pada \ngearbox\n kereta. Malah, ia juga berpotensi merosakkan komponen penting kereta seperti \nalignment\n tayar kereta\n.\n\n\n4. Gunakan Minyak Gearbox yang Sesuai\n\n\nMinta nasihat daripada mekanik atau rujuk manual pemilik untuk menentukan jenis minyak gearbox yang sesuai untuk digunakan oleh kenderaan anda. Penggunaan jenis minyak \ngearbox\n yang sesuai dapat mengelakkan dan mengurangkan risiko kerosakan transmisi kereta. Jenis minyak gear yang tidak sesuai boleh menyebabkan geseran berlebihan berlaku, berpotensi menghasilkan haba dan menyebabkan bau hangus atau terbakar. Secara amnya, minyak EP120 sesuai untuk kereta auto, manakala minyak EP90 pula sesuai untuk kereta manual.\n\n\n5. Lakukan Pemeriksaan, Penyelenggaraan Konsisten\n\n\nBagi memastikan \ngearbox\n kereta sentiasa berada dalam keadaan optimum, lakukan pemeriksaan dan penyelenggaraan mengikut saranan yang disyorkan. Kebiasaannya, anda perlu lakukan servis \ngearbox\n kereta auto (tukar minyak dan sebagainya) setiap 20,000 kilometer. Bagi kereta manual pula, anda disarankan untuk lakukan penyelenggaraan setiap 40,000 kilometer. Selain itu, anda disarankan untuk lakukan pemeriksaan berikut untuk optimumkan prestasi kotak gear kereta anda:\n\n\ni. Lakukan\n flushing\n setahun sekali\n\n\nProses penukaran atau\n flushing\n minyak kotak gear kereta sebaiknya dilakukan oleh profesional. Anda boleh rujuk manual pemilik, namun secara umumnya, anda disarankan untuk lakukan \nflushing\n sekurang-kurangnya sekali setahun.\n\n\nii. Tukar penapis transmisi secara konsisten\n\n\nSesetengah model kenderaan dilengkapi dengan penapis transmisi. Penapis ini perlu digantikan dari semasa ke semasa untuk menjalankan fungsinya dengan lebih baik. Anda disarankan untuk tukar penapis setiap kali proses \nflushing\n dilakukan.\n\n\niii. Periksa transmisi kereta secara berkala\n\n\nPemeriksaan transmisi (paras minyak, warna dan bau) sekurang-kurangnya setahun sekali merupakan salah satu langkah pencegahan yang sangat digalakkan. Pemeriksaan secara berkala sebegini boleh membantu mengesan sebarang kebocoran atau risiko kerosakan yang boleh memberi impak kepada prestasi kotak gear kereta.\n\n\n6. Panaskan Enjin Sebelum Mula Memandu\n\n\nBagi memastikan gearbox kereta sentiasa berada dalam keadaan baik, pastikan anda memanaskan enjin kenderaan sekurang-kurangnya beberapa minit sebelum anda mula memandu terutamanya pada awal pagi. Elakkan \nstart\n enjin kereta\n dan terus memandu tanpa memanaskan enjin terlebih dahulu. Meskipun impaknya tidaklah terlalu ketara, ia merupakan langkah pencegahan yang lebih murah berbanding kos pembaikan \ngearbox\n rosak yang lebih mahal.\n\n\nSelain itu, sekiranya anda ingin \nbeli kereta terpakai\n yang berbaloi, selamat dan berkualiti, layari laman web CARSOME untuk info lanjut. CARSOME merupakan \nplatform jual beli kereta terpakai\n yang menawarkan pelbagai pilihan kereta terpakai yang berkualiti, terbaik dan selamat dengan harga yang berpatutan.

If you can recall the bus accident in Genting Highlands back in 2013, the bus was discovered to be driving fast at 50kmph \nabove the speed limit\n.\u00a0\n\n\nDriving up a steep road can give off Need for Speed video game vibes. But remember, these roads are windy and challenging to the uninitiated. There are many sharp turns and steep inclines that require you to slow down. Here\u2019s how to drive up Genting Highlands the proper way:\u00a0\n\n\nDrive and Brake Slowly\n\n\nBefore you take your car up the road, try and play around with the brakes to make sure they still have enough bite to grip your wheels to a full stop. Do a quick inspection on your brake\u2019s padding to ensure they are still in good condition.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhen driving through Genting Highlands\u2019 roads, it\u2019s best to drive at a slow and steady pace. If you have seen race cars on the track before, you\u2019ll notice their brakes glow red from heat friction under extensive braking at high speeds. Ordinary car brakes are not designed to handle that. Excessive high-speed braking on stock brakes will cause the padding to wear out faster and seriously damage your braking system.\u00a0\n\n\nKeep Your Car\u2019s Transmission in Low Gear\u00a0\n\n\nAt the foot of Genting Highlands, you\u2019ll come across a large sign warning drivers to stick to low gears. Whether you\u2019re driving with an automatic or a manual transmission, lower gears have higher revolutions per minute (RPM) which gives your car the performance it needs to climb uphill. Conversely, sticking to lower gears while going downhill can also help slow down your car without needing to ride the brakes. Do not put your gears in neutral as this disconnects the engine from sending rotational power to the wheels. This increases your chance of spinning out of control.\u00a0\n\n\nWhen going up and down the hill. Maintain a slow, consistent pace that you are comfortable with. Don\u2019t forget to use your signals and honking to alert other drivers too. As a driver, it\u2019s also important to stay on high alert as there are many blind spots on each hairpin. If you do have to overtake someone, take note you should never overtake at a corner. You might not be able to see what\u2019s in front of you like crossing animals or cyclists.\u00a0\n\n\nBe Prepared For Sudden Weather Changes\n\n\nWeather up in the mountains is highly unpredictable and prone to sudden changes. This is due to the mountains having strong winds. That\u2019s why it gets \ndamp\n and colder the higher you climb. In case your windshield and windows get fogged up from the temperature change, crank up the heat from your car\u2019s climate control or disengage the AC\u2019s inner circulation button.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n \n@carsomemy\n\n\nTahu tak selama ni mungkin anda salah guna aircond kereta anda?

This Time is a Porsche 996 GT2\n\n\nGet Ample Amounts of Sleep Before the Journey\n\n\nIf you\u2019re one of those who cannot sleep due to excitement before a holiday trip, one may think drinking enough coffee can brute force yourself to stay awake. However, you might want to consider this \u2013 the \nRoyal Malaysian Police\n reports throughout 2020 to 2021, there have been 1,305 fatal cases of car accidents attributed to microsleep.\u00a0\n\n\nFor those who don\u2019t know what microsleep is, it is a sudden, temporary moment where you fall asleep uncontrollably. With the amount of steep and winding roads up there in Genting Highlands, microsleep can make any driver wake up in another realm above. Get someone else to drive for you if you really can\u2019t stay awake any longer.\u00a0\n\n\nPlease Stop Racing Up There.\u00a0\n\n\nA huge portion of Genting Highland accidents occur due to Takumi Fujiwara (from Initial D, for the unfamiliar) wannabes sending tofu up the mountain. How many crashes, fatalities, and innocent bystanders have to get involved before enough is enough? Every now and then, there is always another dashcam footage of street racers losing control or being overconfident with their skills up there.\n\n\nStreet racing is extremely illegal in Malaysia, and so is weaving through traffic dangerously, which is often seen in Genting Highlands accident footages. According to Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, drivers can be imprisoned for up to ten years or fined up to RM20,000. Additionally, Section 42(3) states that anyone convicted shall be banned from possessing a driving license for up to two years. Think twice if you\u2019re planning to take your \nCivic\n to visit Ulu Yam International Circuit.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIf there is a need to satisfy that racing itch, take all your activities to a legal and sanctioned track or a virtual simulator instead.\u00a0\n\n\nAll in all, as a petrolhead myself, there is nothing wrong with cruising up Genting Highlands so long as safety and traffic laws are observed. A six-speed manual rower or an automatic can still be fun to cruise around so long as safe driving habits are observed. Remember, there is nothing worth winning at the end of the race.\u00a0\n\n", "Tags\nAccident\nDriving\nLearning Centre\nLifestyle\nMaintenance", "Brian Wong", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Oh no, your car might be infested with ants! If left unchecked, you might need to say goodbye to tapao-ing food or going to the drive-through in your car lest the pests get to it first. Before the situation worsens, it\u2019s better to find out how to get rid of the ants in your car.\n\n\nYou can take several preventive steps to eliminate ants and other pests such as cockroaches in your car. From using natural ingredients to heavy-duty ant poisons, here are some car pest control tips you can practice.\n\n\nHow to Get Rid of Ants in Your Car\n\n\n1. Clean Your Car\u2019s Interior Regularly\n\n\nCleaning your car regularly\n is the best way to counter ant and pest infestations. Food and drink residues are the primary causes of your car being invaded by insects, so keeping your car clean makes it unattractive to pests.\n\n\nUse a vacuum cleaner to clean the nooks and crannies in your car, focusing on usually overlooked areas, such as seat crevices, baby seats, and carpets.\n\n\nWant an even cleaner result? Spray the interior of your car with a fragrant surface cleaner such as a lemongrass spray from Kleenso or Afy Haniff and wipe it down with a clean cloth. Besides providing a fresh scent, it will eliminate the pheromone trails typically used by ants to find their way home. This will confuse the ants, and they will wander off elsewhere.\n\n\n2. Use Natural Ant or Pest Repellent\n\n\nYou can also use natural insect repellent to keep ants away from your car. Some natural ingredients you can use include cotton balls soaked in vinegar, cinnamon powder, coffee grounds, and citrus fruit peels such as lime or lemon.\n\n\nAll of these ingredients have strong aromas that will disrupt the scent trails ants use to find food. However, this doesn\u2019t mean you can simply place these ingredients anywhere in your car to repel ants. They need to be placed near their nests or along ant trails for them to be effective.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIf you have a cockroach problem in your car, you can dilute one part vinegar in four parts water with a few drops of tea tree oil and spray the mixture on the surfaces in your car to repel cockroaches. You can also keep pandan leaves, cinnamon powder, and citrus fruit peels in your car.\n\n\nRead More: \n5 Cheap Car Accessories from Daiso to Spruce up Your Car\n\n\n3. Use Ant Poison\n\n\nIf natural ingredients can\u2019t solve the ant infestation in your car, try using ant poison like Ant-X. Choose ant baits or ant poison specifically designed for indoor or car use, and place them at areas with high ant traffic, or just follow the directions on the packaging.\n\n\nAnts will perceive this poison as food and carry it back to their nest. This makes the poison more effective as it is designed to get rid of the source of the ant infestation in your car. If you have other pests such as cockroaches, it\u2019s best to use pest control products specifically designed for them.\n\n\n4. Get Help from a Pest Control Specialist\n\n\nIf ant poison fails to eliminate ants in your car, it may be time for you to seek professional pest control services to assist you.\n\n\n\n\nThey have been trained to handle pest infestations and have the expertise and necessary tools to effectively eradicate ants and other pests from your car. Additionally, they can provide guidance on long-term car pest control methods to avoid ants from re-infesting your car in the future.\n\n\nRead More: \nTips for Keeping your Car\u2019s Leather Soft and Supple\n\n\nTips for Preventing Ants & Cockroaches from Settling in Your Car\n\n\nJust getting rid of the pests isn\u2019t enough if you don\u2019t practice the necessary preventive measures. Here\u2019s how you can prevent ants and cockroaches from reinfesting your car.\n\n\n\n\nDon\u2019t leave food or drink scraps in your car:\n If you spilled any food or drink in your car, clean them up immediately. It\u2019s a good idea to have a bin in the car so you can easily throw food wrappers, scraps, or tissues without dirtying your vehicle.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCover up possible ant entry holes:\n Check for any gaps or open holes in the doors and body of your car. They should be sealed with suitable insulation or rubber seals to prevent ants or cockroaches from entering the car.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDon\u2019t park underneath trees:\n Avoid parking your car near areas that usually have ants, such as under trees, near trash bins, beside drains, and damp areas. This can greatly reduce the chances of pests entering your car.\n\n\n\n\nThere are many ways you can repel ants that have nested in your car. By maintaining a clean interior with regular cleaning, properly disposing of your trash, and using natural insect repellents, you can effectively protect your car from being overrun by these six-legged creatures.\n\n\nWe hope these tips on how to get rid of ants in your car can help you keep your car pest-free and make it a pleasant space to be in, be it on your daily commute or long road trips.\n\n\nLooking for a quality used car?

From turn signals to misuse of the emergency lanes, driving in Malaysia is more or less a dogfight on tarmac that needs patience and a calm attitude to travel the distance. Although drivers should always put on a defensive when on the road, minor or major accidents happen on a daily basis with drivers not knowing the basics \u2013 obstacle avoidance, turning the steering wheel, emergency braking, oversteer, understeer and more.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Experience\n\n\n\n\nAt the recent BMW Driver Training Programme, certified expert driving instructors guided a group of participants for a day of driving exercises that allows drivers to master the challenges of everyday driving. Armed with a fleet of BMW 120i M Sport\u2019s, the exercises for the day included proper steering methods, emergency braking, and avoidance.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBMW driving instructor KK Wong explaining the methods at\u00a0theory class before the practice exercises.\n\n\nBefore we begin to delve deeper into the driving, here are six steps that every driver should take notice before starting the vehicle.\n\n\nInstructor Chris Chong explaining the proper driving and seating position before heading out.\n\n\nStep One \u2013 Height\n\nYour seating position should allow you to see the car bonnet in front of you. The height positioning can be easily gauged by the space of four-fingers rested on your head vertically to the car roof.\n\n\nStep Two \u2013 Leg\n\nThe position of your leg and foot should be able to fully depress the brake pedal. There should be a bend in your knee when the brake pedal is fully depressed, as this would allow more force to be applied when executing a full emergency stop.\n\n\nStep Three \u2013 Seat\n\nA proper seating position should be one that isn\u2019t with too much incline. The car seat should fully support your upper body and back. Also remember to be seated fully in, where your posterior should be at the back of the seat.\n\n\nStep Four \u2013 Steering Wheel\n\nAfter seated at the proper position, stretching your arms out together, you should be able to rest your wrists on the top of the steering wheel with a slight bend in your elbows.\n\n\nStep Five \u2013 Head Rest\n\nThe head rest supports your head and prevents a whiplash during a collision, should be positioned at the same level as your head.\n\n\nStep Six \u2013 Seat Belt\n\nBuckle up. Enough said.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nLets take a look at some videos of the exercises that happened at the BMW Driver Training Programme.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nLeft and Right Steer\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0Steering properly is key. No dish-washing, hamster wheeling, or cool kid rollin\u2019 here.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCross Arm Steering Technique\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0Notice the opposing arm reaching for the opposite end of the wheel as it is turned.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSlalom Practice Exercise\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0Left\u2026 right\u2026 left, right, left.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nEvasive Lane Change Braking\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0It might seem easy, but this was one of the most difficult exercises for the day.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0Quick steering movements is needed for this exercise. It\u2019s a quick left, right and straightening of the car, then hard on the brakes.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nEmergency Braking Avoidance\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0Travelling at over 60 km/h, then hard on the brakes.\n\n\nOne of the most important points to emergency braking is the distance needed for the car to achieve a complete stop. When a car travels at 60 km/h and the driver slams hard on the brakes, it takes an approximate 12-metres from the point of braking, for the vehicle to come to a complete stop.\n\n\nWhat is most interesting however, is the reaction time and distance travelled from before the brakes are depressed. Assuming the vehicle is travelling at 60 km/h, and that the driver requires 1-second to slam on the brakes, the vehicle would have continued to travel every 16.6 metres ahead for every 1-second reaction taken.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nUndersteer\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0The best way to prevent understeer and go through a corner, is to enter at the right speed and take the car through smoothly.\n\n\nUndersteer happens when the front tires of the vehicle reaches the limit of grip. The car will then run wide at a corner. Understeer is the result of entering a corner too fast, braking into a corner, or accelerating through a corner.\n\n\nBy understanding why you\u2019ve lost traction will help you correct it. For example, i\nf you\u2019ve entered too fast into a corner, lightly brake to reduce your speed. If you\u2019re braking into a corner, the driver should reduce the braking force, which would allow steering input to return to the front wheels. If you\u2019re accelerating through a corner and understeer, you should reduce the power and correct the steering angle.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nOversteer\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0Too much power and you will oversteer, especially in a rear-wheel drive vehicle.\n\n\nOversteer happens when the rear tyres of the vehicle reach the limit of its grip, causing the rear-end to swing out. Oversteer is the result of entering a corner too fast, accelerating too soon and braking into or half-way into a corner.\n\n\nHow to combat this, is to know that when the rear-end of the vehicle begins to come out, steer into the skid. As the back end starts to come around, quickly turn the wheel so the front tyres are pointing into the direction you want to travel. As the car begins to come back to place, straighten the wheel. The key for this is to always look into the direction you\u2019re heading to.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nFull Power with Counter Steer\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0Sliding with pure beauty and control.\n\n\nWhat do you think? A big thanks to instructors KK Wong, Kenneth Chiew, Ching Eu Earn and Chris Chong for the dedication and expertise. But most of all, the key lesson in driving is to always be a defensive driver, use your turn signals when necessary, and allow room between yourself and the car in front of you. Also be considerate and remember that power is nothing without control.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nFollow up with our experience with \nBMW\u2019s Intensive Driving Training programme here\n.\n\n", "Carsome Author", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

The Driver Training Programme in essence, is a course that was introduced by the BMW Group in 1977 as an initiative to provide drivers a way to improve their skills, reactions and awareness on the road, at the track, and showcase the potential of BMWs cars. For BMW Malaysia, 2018 marks their 12\nth\n year organising the Driver Training Programme.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Drivers in the experience are placed under the guidance of certified instructors, where various course exercises conducted throughout the day are designed to educate drivers both in theory and practical. \nThe Advanced course\n taught us the proper driving and seating position, practical exercises in typical traffic and hazard conditions, as well as emergency and targeted braking manoeuvres amongst others.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Only drivers that have completed the \nAdvanced Driver Training\n programme are able to progress to the Intensive module, where drivers learn even more challenging manoeuvers and techniques, as well as professional guidance on basic racing skills on the track. Equipped with a fleet of BMW 420i\u2019s, the two-day event at the Sepang International Circuit was our playground for the weekend.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Before undergoing practical exercises, drivers had to learn theoretical basics of driving, including proper steering and seating positions. But two of the most important ones \u2013 Braking and Forces on the tyre, best explains the dynamics of a vehicle where it matters most. Here\u2019s what we learnt.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nBraking \u2013 Understanding Reaction Times and Stopping Distances\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Stopping distances and the obstacle ahead is most crucial in emergency braking situations. Considering a total distance of 62 metres is available before hitting a brick wall, a vehicle travelling at 100 km/h would require just 34 metres* of stopping distance when the brakes are applied fully.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    However, this distance does not include the reaction time that the driver needs to slam on the brakes. Assuming the driver takes 1-second to hit the brakes, the vehicle would have travelled an additional 28 metres before braking. Here the reaction distance of 28 metres and braking distance of 34 metres equals the actual stopping distance of 62 metres. Thus the driver would have stopped just in time before hitting the brick wall.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: korkortonline.se\n\n\n\n\n\n    This is where a driver\u2019s lapse in reaction time makes a startling difference. Should the driver just take an additional 0.2-seconds reaction to hit the brakes, the vehicle travelling at 100 km/h would have travelled an extra 5 metres in distance and hit the brick wall at the speed of 38 km/h.\n\n\n\n\n    (*Stopping distances vary differently across all vehicles depending on brakes and tyres)\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nDriving Physics and Forces On The Tyre\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Standard physics tells us that when we drive along a right corner, a lateral force exists on the grip and traction that the tyre has on the road. The forces acting on the centre of gravity that goes on the opposite is known as the centrifugal force.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The most important part in understanding the limit of the forces on the tyre, is understanding the Kamm Circle, or better known as the Traction Circle. The simplest explanation to the traction circle is knowing that tyres are responsible for the traction that\u2019s required to move the vehicle \u2013 allowing for acceleration, braking and cornering. Here the driver needs to know that there is a limit to the amount of grip or force that can be applied to the tyre.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    By using the diagram above, the limit of available grip is represented by the red circle. In this scenario, a driver that is executing a right-hand corner needs to know the proper steering angle (lateral force) to match the limits of acceleration so that the tyres maintain its maximum available grip.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Should too much steering and speed be taken into a corner, grip is lost, and the vehicle would begin to run wide. Situations such as this is known as understeering. Understanding a vehicle\u2019s physics and the traction circle is why racing drivers are great at what they do because they\u2019re able to take the grip to the limit. But what happens when a driver reaches the outer limits of braking?\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nBrake In Corner exercise\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstructors Kitson and Ivan explaining the dynamics of Brake in corner exercise.\n\n\n\n\n\n    One of the practical exercises aptly named Brake In Corner, provided us participants the experience of safely executing emergency braking whilst going into a corner. In vehicles that aren\u2019t equipped with Cornering Brake Control, the load shift caused by braking can reduce traction on the wheels on the side towards the inside of the bend. The load imbalance results in a loss of directional control, which would cause the vehicle to skid out of the curve.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    How Cornering Brake Control helps in this situation is by distributing brake pressure to the left and right side of the brakes or by reducing pressure to the rear axle even if the driver brakes outside the normal range of ABS.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDrivers are required to travel 80 km/h towards the first cone, conduct a full emergency brake, and then slowly ease off the brakes whilst going through the corner before coming to a complete stop.\n\n\n\n\n\n    In the video above, we can see the differences between a situation that would arise without Cornering Brake Control and the subsequent clips of a successful Brake In Corner exercise.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nDouble Lane Change exercise\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHere drivers are required to maintain a 100 km/h speed until mid-course, conduct a lane change, and then full on emergency brake upon straightening the vehicle.\n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    What did we learn in the end? A lot of which is better experienced than explained. Apart from equipping one\u2019s self in various emergency situations, the Intensive module allowed us to learn the classic racing line around Sepang \u2013 braking, apex and acceleration points.

Founded by Frank Seiberling in 1898 and named after Charles Goodyear, inventor of vulcanised rubber, the company today makes tyres for various vehicle types including automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, SUVs, race cars, aeroplanes and more.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nGoodyear\u2019s innovation heritage dates back to the tyres on the Ford Model T, the first mass-produced car in 1908, the first pneumatic aviation tyres in 1909 and the first tyres on the moon with NASA astronauts in 1971. But it wasn\u2019t just tyres for cars. After introducing the first aviation tyres, the brand expanded to create the first retreadable aircraft tyres in 1927. By the 1980s, Goodyear launched the first FAA-approved radial tyres for commercial aircraft.\n\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to Formula 1, Goodyear is also the most dominant in the sports\u2019 history \u2013 with more starts, wins, and constructors\u2019 championships than any other tyre supplier.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat about today? In its commitment to product responsibility and sustainability, the brand has established its first commercial use of a new soybean oil-based rubber compound. The tread compound using soybean oil is a naturally derived, cost-effective, carbon-neutral and renewable. This new approach also keeps the rubber compound pliable in changing temperatures, which is an achievement in maintaining and enhancing the vehicle\u2019s grip on the road surface.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSimilarly, Goodyear has also began using silica derived from rice husk ash (which is environmentally-friendly and a cost-effective alternative to the chemical compound) to enhance traction and treadwear in selected consumer tyres.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhat\u2019s next?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt present, the brand\u2019s sensor-equipped intelligent tyres can continuously measure and record vital data that allows fleet operators to manage tyre services. With a future focus on tyres with a 360-degree experience for consumers and higher levels of autonomy, the brand demonstrated their latest prototype at this year\u2019s Geneva Motor Show.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car through Carsome today and find out how easy it is to connect yourself to 900 dealers with our bidding platform!\n\n", "Tags\nDriving\nLifestyle", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Selepas beberapa tahun pula, kereta tersebut mungkin telah kehilangan sehingga separuh daripada nilai asalnya.\n\n\n\n\nSebelum menjual kereta anda, anda perlu mempertimbangkan perkara yang boleh dilakukan untuk meningkatkan nilai jualan semula kereta anda. Berikut adalah 17.5 perkara yang anda boleh buat untuk memastikan anda mendapat nilai jualan semula yang lebih tinggi bagi kereta anda.\n\n\n1. Beli Kereta dengan Nilai Jual Semula yang Tinggi\n\n\nUsaha menjaga nilai penjualan semula kereta anda bermula sebelum anda memiliki sebuah kereta lagi. Untuk menjamin nilai jual semula kereta anda di masa hadapan, anda harus membeli model atau jenama kereta yang mempunyai nilai susut yang rendah.\n\n\nSebaiknya, carilah jenama kereta yang popular, boleh dipercayai, dan menawarkan akses mudah ke pusat servis. Beberapa model yang mempunyai nilai jual semula yang tinggi di Malaysia adalah Perodua Myvi, Honda Civic, dan Toyota Vios.\n\n\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nModel Kereta dengan Susut Nilai Rendah, Resale Value Tinggi di Malaysia\n\n\n2. Pilih Kereta dengan Ciri Keselamatan yang Sesuai\n\n\nOleh kerana memiliki kereta merupakan pelaburan sepanjang hayat, anda perlu memilih kereta yang dilengkapi dengan ciri keselamatan yang sesuai. Ini akan membantu anda kekal selamat semasa memandu dan ia juga dapat menambah nilai jualan semula kereta anda di masa hadapan!\n\n\nBayangkan jika suatu hari nanti, kerajaan mewajibkan semua kereta yang dijual untuk mempunyai Sistem Brek Anti-Kunci (ABS) atau peringatan tali pinggang keledar. Ketiadaan sistem berikut akan menyebabkan harga kereta anda turun dengan drastik.\n\n\nIa juga mampu menambah daya tarikan kereta anda apabila tiba masanya untuk menjual. Jika kereta anda dilengkapi dengan ciri-ciri keselamatan seperti kamera belakang, sensor letak kereta, dan sistem amaran titik buta, ia mungkin dapat dijual dengan harga yang lebih tinggi berbanding kereta yang tidak mempunyai sistem-sistem tersebut.\n\n\nBeberapa sistem keselamatan yang boleh anda pertimbangkan adalah Sistem Brek Anti-Kunci (ABS), Brek Kecemasan Automatik (AEB), dan Kawalan Kestabilan Elektronik (ESC).\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nTip Pembelian Kereta untuk Keluarga dan Ciri Keselamatan Yang Perlu Dipertimbangkan\n\n\n3. Panjangkan Tempoh Waranti\n\n\nWaranti merupakan perkara terakhir yang difikirkan orang ramai apabila hendak menjual kereta, tetapi ia merupakan faktor penting yang dapat menentukan harga urusan jual beli kereta, sama ada baru atau terpakai. \n\n\nSekiranya anda mampu untuk memanjangkan tempoh waranti bagi kereta anda, anda sangat digalakkan untuk berbuat demikian, terutamanya jika ia dijamin merangkumi komponen utama seperti enjin dan transmisi.\n\n\nMelanjutkan tempoh waranti akan memberi ketenangan fikiran kepada anda dan pemilik yang akan datang, lebih-lebih lagi apabila berlaku kerosakan yang tidak dijangka.\n\n\n4. Pilih Warna yang Sesuai\n\n\nAdakah anda merancang untuk menghias kereta anda dengan warna dan grafik yang menjolok mata? Walaupun ia mungkin dapat menjadikan kereta anda sebagai sebuah karya seni yang unik, tidak semua orang akan berkongsi idea yang sama dengan anda.\n\n\nKereta dengan warna yang terang seperti merah, ungu, atau kuning biasanya mempunyai nilai jual semula yang lebih rendah kerana warna-warna seperti ini sukar untuk dijaga. Lebih-lebih lagi dengan keadaan cuaca yang panas dan lembap di Malaysia, ia mungkin akan mula pudar selepas beberapa tahun.\n\n\nSebaiknya, pilih lah warna asas seperti putih, hitam atau perak. Kereta dengan warna-warna ini mempunyai nilai jualan semula yang lebih baik kerana ia senang dijaga, mudah dibersihkan, dan juga dapat menyembunyikan kesan calar dengan baik.\n\n\n\n\n5. Pandu Dengan Cermat\n\n\nSalah satu kaedah terbaik untuk menjaga nilai jual semula kereta anda adalah dengan mengamalkan pemanduan yang cekap. Memandu secara agresif akan memberi tekanan kepada kereta anda dan ini akan mempercepatkan proses kehausan komponen kereta anda.\n\n\nTabiat memandu yang baik akan memastikan kereta anda sentiasa berada dalam keadaan yang elok. Ia juga dapat mengurangkan jumlah penyelenggaraan pada komponen seperti brek dan tayar untuk jangka masa panjang.\n\n\nSelain itu, pemanduan selamat dapat mengelakkan daripada berlakunya kemalangan. Kemalangan besar akan mengurangkan nilai kereta anda secara drastik, terutamanya jika berlaku kerosakan pada kerangka kereta. Ini akan membuat kereta anda lebih sukar untuk terjual kerana ia akan muncul dalam laporan sejarah kereta anda.\n\n\n6. Pastikan \nMileage\n Rendah\n\n\nFaktor lain yang membantu menjaga nilai jualan kereta anda adalah \nmileage\n yang rendah. \nMileage \nyang tinggi pada sebuah kereta menandakan bahawa komponen kereta tersebut telah mula merosot disebabkan penggunaan berpanjangan.\n\n\nWalaupun kereta anda berada dalam keadaan yang sangat baik, setelah \nmileage\n kereta melebihi 100,000 kilometer, nilai jualan semula akan menurun secara mendadak. Sekiranya anda terfikir untuk menjual kereta anda, masa yang paling sesuai untuk melakukannya adalah apabila \nmileage\n mencecah sekitar 80,000 hingga 90,000 kilometer. Lebih rendah, lebih bagus.\n\n\nSecara purata, pemandu di Malaysia mampu mencapai jarak perjalanan sejauh 28,188 kilometer setahun. Selepas ini, anda mungkin perlu mempertimbangkan semula keputusan untuk memandu kereta anda jika ada perjalanan jarak jauh.\n\n\n\n\n7. Lakukan Penyelenggaraan Secara Berkala\n\n\nSatu lagi cara terbaik dan paling mudah untuk menjaga nilai jualan semula kereta anda adalah dengan melakukan penyelenggaraan secara berkala. Anda cuma perlu mengikuti jadual penyelenggaraan yang telah ditetapkan dan memastikan bahawa ia dilakukan di pusat servis yang sah.\n\n\nMenjaga kereta anda dengan betul dapat menjimatkan wang anda untuk jangka masa panjang dengan mengelakkan kos pembaikan yang tidak perlu. Sehubungan dengan itu, pembeli juga akan lebih cenderung untuk menawarkan harga yang lebih tinggi bagi sebuah kereta dengan sejarah penjagaan yang baik.\n\n\n\n\n8. Cari Tempat Letak Kenderaan yang Selamat\n\n\nKetika hendak meletak kereta, anda perlu mencari tempat yang sesuai dan selamat. Seeloknya, cari tempat yang teduh untuk melindungi cat kereta daripada pudar kerana terdedah di bawah cahaya matahari yang panas dan pada keadaan yang lembap apabila hujan. Pada waktu yang sama, elakkan juga dari meletakkan kereta anda di bawah pokok kerana ia akan mengundang kotoran seperti najis burung dan daun kering.\n\n\nDapatkan ruang yang sesuai untuk meletakkan kereta anda dan elakkan dari meletak kereta bersebelahan dengan kenderaan besar dan berat kerana ruang yang sempit mungkin akan mendatangkan kerosakan seperti calar kepada kereta anda.\n\n\n\n\n9. Ubahsuai Secara Sederhana\n\n\nMengubahsuai kereta memang seronok, tetapi jika pembeli yang ingin membeli kereta anda tidak meminati pengubahsuaian yang telah anda lakukan, ia akan memberi impak negatif kepada harga jualan kereta anda.\n\n\nRim yang besar, kit turbo, atau sistem stereo mewah mungkin akan menurunkan harga jualan kereta anda, terutama sekali jika bahagian-bahagian ini mendatangkan masalah kepada kereta.\n\n\nSekiranya anda benar-benar berminat untuk mengubahsuai kereta anda, dapatkan aksesori yang yang berguna dan boleh menambah nilai jualan kereta anda di masa hadapan seperti sistem infotainmen yang moden, pemasangan filem penapis haba pada tingkap kereta, dan tempat duduk kulit.\n\n\nMelakukan terlalu banyak pengubahsuaian juga akan menyebabkan kereta anda kurang diminati oleh pembeli, jadi cuba untuk kekalkan keadaan kereta seperti yang asal, sehampir yang boleh.\n\n\n\n\n10. Sentiasa Bersihkan Bahagian Luaran\n\n\nBakal pembeli akan membuat tawaran mengikut penampilan luaran kereta yang dijual. Jadi, kereta yang kelihatan bersih dapat menarik harga yang lebih mahal!\n\n\nDengan cucian yang cermat, anda dapat menjaga warna kereta dan keadaan luaran kereta untuk jangka masa panjang. Sekiranya anda mampu, dapatkan servis salutan lapisan nano seramik untuk hasil yang lebih baik.\n\n\nPenjagaan bahagian luaran kereta secara berkala juga dapat membantu mengekalkan warna kereta, menghilangkan cela, dan mencegah pudar.\n\n\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nCara Cuci Kereta, Tips Cuci Enjin dan Polish Kereta dengan Betul\n\n\n11. Bersihkan Juga Bahagian Dalaman\n\n\nSelain daripada bahagian luar, menjaga kebersihan bahagian dalaman kereta anda juga penting untuk menarik minat para pembeli.\n\n\nMerokok dan membawa makanan yang berbau di dalam kereta boleh menyebabkan bau yang tidak menyenangkan melekat di dalam kereta anda. Kereta yang berbau busuk pasti tidak akan menarik minat pembeli.\n\n\nMakan di dalam kereta juga merupakan salah satu tabiat utama yang mengakibatkan kereta menjadi kotor. Selain daripada membuat kereta anda bersepah, anda juga akan meninggalkan kotoran dan sisa makanan di dalam kereta, yang menyebabkan kereta anda akan dipenuhi lipas dan semut.\n\n\nElakkan perkara ini dengan membersihkan bahagian dalaman kereta dengan kerap dan gunakan juga penyegar udara di dalam kereta memastikan kesegaran berpanjangan.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nTip Pembersihan dan Pembasmian Kuman Kabin Kereta\n\n\n12. Periksa Lampu Amaran\n\n\nSekiranya terdapat simbol tertentu yang menyala di \ndashboard \nkereta anda, anda harus segera memeriksanya kerana ia menunjukkan terdapat masalah dengan kereta anda.\n\n\nMengabaikan lampu amaran yang menyala boleh menyebabkan lebih banyak masalah di masa hadapan dan ia juga akan memberi peluang kepada pembeli untuk mengurangkan tawaran mereka ke atas kereta anda. \nDengan hanya satu lawatan ke pusat servis, anda dapat mengelakkan hal tersebut daripada berlaku.\n\n\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nJangan Teruskan Pemanduan Jika 3 Lampu Amaran Kereta Ini Menyala!\n\n\n13. Gantikan Komponen yang Telah Rosak\n\n\nSalah satu perkara utama yang menyebabkan harga kereta anda menurun ialah tidak menggantikan komponen yang anda dapati bermasalah.\n\n\nSebagai contoh, \npower \nwindow yang tidak berfungsi, lampu hadapan yang malap, tombol yang tidak lagi beroperasi, atau nat tayar kereta yang hilang. Tidak kira sekecil mana pun, sebarang komponen yang bermasalah perlu diganti.\n\n\nIa dapat membantu anda mengelak dari kerosakan yang lebih besar dan juga meningkatkan nilai jualan semula kereta.\n\n\n\u00a014.\u00a0 Jaga Rim dan Tayar\n\n\nTayar dan rim merupakan salah satu komponen penting yang perlu diberi perhatian kerana ia antara ciri-ciri pertama yang dilihat oleh pembeli semasa menilai harga kereta.\n\n\nJika ia kelihatan buruk dan tidak terjaga, ia memberi tanggapan bahawa kereta anda tidak dijaga dengan baik dan telah melalui penggunaan yang berat.\n\n\nPastikan bahagian tayar dan rim telah dibersihkan dan digilap sebelum anda menjual kereta anda. Sekiranya terdapat kerosakan, gantikan dengan yang baru supaya ia tidak mempengaruhi harga kereta anda.\n\n\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nCara Penjagaan, Tip Beli Tayar Kereta yang Terbaik dan Selamat di Malaysia\n\n\n15. Baiki Semua Kesan Lekuk dan Calar\n\n\nSelepas bertahun-tahun dipandu, kereta anda pasti akan mempunyai kesan calar dan kesan lekuk. Hal ini akan membuatkan kereta anda kelihatan kurang menarik di mata pembeli.\n\n\nKalau dibiarkan sahaja, kerosakan kecil ini akan mengakibatkan masalah yang lebih besar seperti karat pada bahagian badan kereta anda. Hantar kereta anda ke kedai pakar \nauto body repair\n untuk memperbaiki kesan calar dan kesan lekuk supaya harga kereta anda tidak jatuh mendadak.\n\n\n16. Hantar Kereta Untuk Servis Perincian\n\n\nSebelum berjumpa dengan bakal pembeli, hantarlah kereta anda ke kedai perincian kereta untuk dibersihkan dan dikilatkan. Pembeli akan lebih tertarik dengan kereta yang kelihatan bersih dan berkilau, seperti baru sahaja keluar dari bilik pameran.\n\n\nSelain itu, keadaan kereta yang cantik juga akan meyakinkan pembeli bahawa kereta anda dijaga dengan baik. Ini akan membuat mereka lebih yakin dengan keputusan mereka untuk membeli kereta tersebut.\n\n\n\n\n17. Sediakan Dokumentasi yang Perlu\n\n\nAkhir sekali, proses pembelian yang lancar dapat dicapai dengan menyediakan dokumen-dokumen yang betul. Ia juga dapat membantu anda meyakinkan pembeli bahawa kereta itu adalah milik anda secara sah dan anda telah melakukan penyelenggaraan yang diperlukan dengan betul.\n\n\nMenyimpan fail yang teratur dengan borang pendaftaran kereta, geran kereta, sejarah pemilikan, invois servis, buku log servis, dan lain-lain membolehkan anda untuk mendapat kelebihan dalam proses tawar-menawar ketika menentukan harga jualan.\n\n\n17.5. \nJual kepada CARSOME dengan 175-Titik Pemeriksaan yang Terperinci\n\n\nSekarang, adakah anda sudah bersedia untuk menjual kereta anda?

Mahalnya harga kereta \nsecond hand\n kat CARSOME ni! Lagi murah kat kedai lain!\u2019\u00a0\n\n\n\u2018Kenapa harga kat CARSOME ni macam mahal sikit eh?\u2019\u00a0\n\n\nBetul ke kereta \nsecond hand\n yang CARSOME jual ini mahal? Ramai yang kata kereta yang CARSOME jual ini mahal. Siap ada yang kata lagi baik beli yang baharu terus.\u00a0\n\n\nIni bukan nak kata kami masuk bakul angkut sendiri tetapi sebenarnya harga kereta yang kami jual ini sebenarnya sangat berpatutan dengan keadaan kereta. Kenapa kami kata macam itu? Nanti kami bagitahu tapi sebelum itu, mari kami bocorkan sedikit rahsia macam mana kami tetapkan harga untuk kereta kami.\u00a0\n\n\nHarga Kereta CARSOME Mahal?\n\n\nBukan hanya kereta terpakai saja, apa saja yang dijual dan didagangkan, ia dijual pada harga pasaran. Siapa yang tetapkan harga pasaran? Ada macam-macam faktor tapi kalau kami ceritakan, ia akan jadi artikel yang tak berapa nak menarik melainkan anda nak belajar kembali ekonomi dan perniagaan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSama seperti produk dan servis yang ada dalam pasaran, harga kereta kami juga mengikut harga pasaran. Kami memantau harga pasaran semasa setiap model kereta yang kami ada. Kami akan meletakkan harga yang rendah sedikit daripada harga pasaran supaya ia tidak menjadi beban kepada pelanggan memandangkan\u00a0 kereta yang kami jual ini merupakan kereta pramilik.\u00a0\n\n\nJadi akan ada lebih banyak pilihan yang ada untuk anda pada harga yang jauh lebih kompetitif beserta dengan jaminan kereta berkualiti untuk setiap kereta CARSOME. Kalau anda nak beli kereta untuk keluarga, kami ada macam-macam pilihan untuk itu. Nak beli kereta premium, jangan risau! Kami ada kereta yang sesuai untuk kemahuan dan kehendak anda.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \n4 Cara Mudah Untuk Kenal Pasti Kereta Terpakai yang Terbaik Bagi Pembeli Kali Pertama\n\n\nKereta Myvi Second Hand Mahal, Betul Ke?\u00a0\n\n\nAda orang kata, kereta model sekian sekian mahal disebabkan model dan varian. Jadi, ramai yang takut nak membeli kereta-kereta model dan varian ini.Sebagai contoh, kereta Myvi yang dikatakan harganya agak \u2018keras\u2019 walaupun cuma kereta terpakai.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTak berapa nak tepat sebenarnya. Macam yang ditulis di atas, harga kereta adalah berdasarkan harga pasaran semasa. Jika harga pasaran tinggi, maka harganya akan jadi tinggi sedikit. Model dan jenis kereta bukan antara faktor utama yang mempengaruhi harga kereta. Keadaan kereta, laporan servis, serta banyak lagi faktor yang boleh mempengaruhi harga kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nAnda boleh tengok penyenaraian bagi kereta Myvi di \nlaman CARSOME \nini. Anda sendiri boleh nilai sama ada harga yang ada di CARSOME adalah berpatutan sesuai dengan keadaan kereta atau anda merasakan ia tak sepatutnya diletakkan dengan harga seperti itu.\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, jangan percaya dengan cakap-cakap orang yang kebanyakannya tidak berasas. Melainkan ia datang daripada mereka yang berada dalam industri. Jika tidak, anggap saja ia sebagai pendapat peribadi yang tidak boleh dibuktikan kebenarannya.\u00a0\n\n\nKenapa Anda Kena Pilih CARSOME Kalau Nak Beli Kereta Second Hand?\n\n\nBerbalik kepada persoalan, betul ke kereta yang CARSOME jual ini mahal? Beli daripada penjual lain atau beli baharu lagi berbaloi? Okey, mari sini kami kongsikan sesuatu kepada anda.\u00a0\n\n\nKesemua kereta CARSOME ini, sama ada yang anda lihat dalam laman web ataupun di aplikasi kami, harganya adalah TETAP. Harga yang anda lihat itu adalah harga mati. Apa yang anda nampak, itulah yang anda akan bayar nanti pada akhirnya. Tiada harga atau caj tambahan yang akan ditambah nanti melainkan anda ingin menambah \nwaranti lanjutan CARSOME\n.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHarga kereta CARSOME telah termasuk dengan:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n Pemeriksaan PUSPAKOM\n\n\n Waranti satu tahun\n\n\n Yuran pemprosesan pinjaman\n\n\n Permindahan hak milik kenderaan\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJadi, harga yang anda lihat di laman web CARSOME sebenarnya sangat-sangat berpatutan sesuai dengan jaminan kualiti yang dijanjikan untuk semua kereta CARSOME.\u00a0\n\n\nBeli Kat Kedai Kereta \nSecond Hand\n Lain Lagi Murah?\n\n\nAda juga yang kata, \u2018Harga kereta \nsecond hand\n kat kedai lain lagi murah daripada CARSOME. Lagi baik beli kat sana terus!\u2019\u00a0\n\n\nKami tak nafikan fakta ini. Banyak kedai dan pusat jualan kereta terpakai yang menjual kereta agak murah berbanding dengan harga yang kami tawarkan. Tetapi kebanyakan masanya, harga yang anda lihat itu bukanlah harga akhir yang anda akan bayar!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHarga yang anda lihat itu berkemungkinan besar cuma harga asas kereta. Ia belum lagi termasuk dengan pelbagai lagi caj-caj lain. Antara caj lain yang tidak dimasukkan sekali dalam harga akhir seperti:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n Harga pemeriksaan kereta\n\n\n Pemeriksaan PUSPAKOM\n\n\n Yuran pemprosesan pinjaman\n\n\n Yuran dokumen kereta\n\n\n Caj \nrunner\n untuk segala macam urusan dan pemerolehan dokumen\n\n\n\n\nIni cumalah antara caj serta bayaran yang biasa dikenakan oleh sebahagian besar penjual kereta terpakai di luar sana. Kadang-kadang akan ada lagi bayaran lain yang tiba-tiba masuk ke dalam harga kereta menjadikan harga akhir yang anda terpaksa bayar adalah jauh lebih mahal berbanding harga yang anda lihat pada awalnya.\u00a0\n\n\nBeli Kereta Baharu Lagi Bagus?\n\n\n\u2018Alah! Harga pun lebih kurang harga kereta baharu. Lagi baik beli kereta baru!\u2019\u00a0\n\n\nKami tak nafikan, beli kereta baharu ada banyak kelebihannya. Tetapi jika anda perlukan kereta dengan cepat, anda boleh lupakan hasrat untuk dapatkan kereta baharu lagi-lagi kereta bajet. Kereta bajet terutama daripada jenama seperti Proton dan Perodua mendapat tempahan yang terlalu banyak!\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan\n: \nDaripada Beli Motor, Baik Beli Axia E Spec Dengan Harga RM22,000!\n\n\n\n\nAda banyak laporan mengatakan bahawa ada orang terpaksa berada dalam senarai menunggu sehingga selama setahun untuk sesuatu model kereta. Adakah anda sanggup untuk menunggu selama berbulan-bulan hanya untuk memiliki kereta anda?\u00a0\n\n\nDisebabkan itu, kereta terpakai masih lagi menjadi pilihan memandangkan anda tidak perlu berada dalam apa-apa senarai menunggu bagi membeli apa-apa model kereta. Stok bagi kereta terpakai ini sentiasa tersedia untuk dibeli pada bila-bila masa.\u00a0\n\n\nDi CARSOME, jika anda berminat dengan kereta yang ada, anda cuma perlu bayar yuran tempahan untuk menempah kereta yang anda mahu. Setelah sesi pandu uji, anda boleh teruskan dengan urusan pembelian. Namun, jika anda berubah fikiran, anda boleh batalkan tempahan dan yuran tempahan akan dikembalikan*.\u00a0\n\n\n*Tertakluk kepada Terma dan Syarat\n\n\nHarga Kereta CARSOME Ni Murah Ke Mahal?\u00a0\n\n\nItulah dia.

Apa yang anda nampak, itulah yang anda akan bayar. Melainkan anda ingin menambah waranti lanjutan CARSOME, maka ya harganya akan jadi mahal sedikit.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nIni Jawapan Kepada Soalan Tentang Jual Dan Beli Kereta CARSOME Yang Anda Kena Tahu!\n\n\nSelain itu, kesemua kereta CARSOME Certified juga telah menjalani pemeriksaan 175-titik dan pembaikpulihan yang profesional merangkumi pembaikan am dan mekanikal, termasuklah baik pulih badan dan cat kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nPemeriksaan 175-titik ini merangkumi keseluruhan kereta sehingga ke casis kereta. Ini untuk memastikan kereta yang kami jual ini bebas daripada kemalangan teruk dan juga kerosakan akibat banjir dan juga kebakaran.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSelain daripada pemeriksaan 175-titik, kesemua kereta kami telah melalui proses baik pulih yang dibuat di CARSOME Certified Lab. Proses ini menjamin kereta yang kami jual menepati keselamatan melebihi standard, keselesaan sepenuhnya, dan juga estetik yang dibaik pulih.\u00a0\n\n\nInilah caranya bagaimana kami mampu menawan lebih 300,000 pelanggan sepanjang hampir lapan tahun kami beroperasi di Malaysia.

Ini telah menyebabkan berlakunya peningkatan dalam pemilikan kereta elektrik dengan Tesla menguasai pasaran tersebut.\n\n\nDengan pelancaran Tesla Model Y di Malaysia baru-baru ini, kami yakin ramai yang ingin tahu lebih lanjut mengenai model-model lain yang dikeluarkan oleh Tesla dan juga harga pasaran bagi model-model tersebut.\n\n\nTesla Model X\n\n\nPertama sekali, mari kita kenali model kereta elektrik paling mahal dari Tesla iaitu \nTesla Model X\n. Model X merupakan model yang paling unik keluaran Tesla kerana ia mempunyai sistem pintu \u2019\u2019Falcon Wing\u201d yang berengsel di bumbung, membuatkannya kelihatan seperti kenderaan \nfuturistik\n dan lebih \nsporty.\n Ia juga merupakan sebuah kereta elektrik bergaya kenderaan utiliti sukan (SUV) yang datang dengan kabin yang sangat luas dan lima tempat duduk.\n\n\nGambar oleh Kevin Burnell daripada \nPexels\n.\n\n\nSemua model Tesla datang dalam beberapa trim atau varian dan Model X mempunyai dua trim iaitu Model X Standard dan Model X Plaid. Tesla Model X Standard dijual pada harga US$98,940 (RM452,601.03). Ia dilengkapi dengan \ndual motor powertrain\n dan boleh mencapai kelajuan tertinggi 240 km/sejam dengan jarak operasi kira-kira 560 km.\n\n\nTrim Tesla Model X Plaid pula adalah versi yang lebih berkuasa yang dijual pada harga US$108,490 (RM496,287.50). Jarak operasi untuk trim ini sedikit rendah iaitu lebih kurang 536 km, tetapi ini disebabkan ia dilengkapi dengan \ntri-motor powertrain\n yang berupaya mencapai kelajuan tertinggi 240 km/sejam.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrim untuk Model X\n\n\nHarga Jualan (Anggaran)\n\n\nJarak (Anggaran)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModel X Standard\n\n\nUS$98,940 (RM452,601.03)\n\n\n560 km\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModel X Plaid\n\n\nUS$108,490 (RM496,287.50)\n\n\n536 km\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTesla Model S\n\n\nSelepas Tesla Model X, \nTesla Model S\n merupakan model kereta elektrik kedua termahal keluaran Tesla.

Dikuasai oleh \ndual-motor powertrain, \nia mampu beroperasi dengan jarak anggaran sehingga 652 km dan ia juga mampu mencapai kelajuan tertinggi sehingga 240 km/sejam. Boleh dikatakan bahawa kereta elektrik model ini adalah sangat berbaloi untuk dimiliki.\n\n\nJika anda inginkan sesuatu yang lebih pantas dan tak keberatan untuk membayar lebih mahal, anda boleh memilih trim Model S Plaid yang dijual pada harga US$108,490 (RM496,287.50). Dilengkapi dengan \ntri-motor powertrain\n yang berkuasa tinggi, ia dapat mencecah kelajuan tertinggi sehingga 322 km/sejam dengan jarak operasi kira-kira 637 km.\n\n\nTesla juga mendakwa bahawa Model S Plaid mampu bergerak dari 0-60 mph dalam hanya 1.99 saat, menjadikan kereta elektrik ini antara yang terpantas di dunia!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrim untuk Model S\n\n\nHarga Jualan (Anggaran)\n\n\nJarak Pemanduan (Anggaran)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModel S Standard\n\n\nUS$88,490 (RM404,797.50)\n\n\n652 km\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModel S Plaid\n\n\nUS$108,490 (RM496,287.50)\n\n\n637 km\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTesla Model Y\n\n\nDipasarkan sebagai sebuah SUV, \nTesla Model Y\n didatangkan dengan lima tempat duduk dan menawarkan ruang yang besar seperti Tesla Model X, tetapi ianya ditujukan untuk mereka yang mencari kereta SUV elektrik pada harga yang lebih berpatutan.\n\n\nGambar oleh \nTyler Casey\n daripada \nUnsplash\n.\n\n\nDijual pada harga bermula daripada RM199,000, trim Model Y Standard mampu mencapai kelajuan tertinggi sehingga 217 km/sejam dengan bantuan \ndual-motor all-wheel drive \ndan boleh dipandu sejauh 430 km. Anda juga boleh mendapatkan trim Model Y Long Range dengan kelajuan tertinggi sama pada harga RM246,000 dengan jarak operasi kira-kira 533 km.\n\n\nJika anda mahukan sesuatu yang lebih \nsporty,\n anda boleh dapatkan trim Model Y Performance. Dengan harga jualan RM288,000, ia merupakan varian dengan kuasa lebih tinggi kerana mampu mencapai kelajuan tertinggi sehingga 250 km/sejam dengan jarak operasi kira-kira 514 km.

Naik turun harga minyak terkini yang dikemas kini pada setiap hari Rabu semestinya menjadi tanda tanya terutamanya buat anda yang memiliki kereta sendiri. Carsome mengemas kini artikel harga minyak petrol semasa pada setiap hari Rabu setiap minggu untuk rujukan anda.\n\n\nHarga Minyak Petrol Minggu Ini 27 Julai \u2013 2 Ogos 2023\n\n\nHarga minyak bagi minyak RON 95, RON 97 and diesel akan dikemaskini pada waktu petang setiap hari Rabu dan diguna pakai bermula dari hari Khamis 12:00 AM hingga minggu berikutnya (Rabu 11:59 PM). Berikut adalah harga minyak bagi minggu ini:\n\n\nRON 95:\u00a0\nRM2.05 (tiada perubahan)\n\n\nRON 97:\u00a0\nRM3.37 (tiada perubahan)\n\n\nDiesel:\u00a0\nRM2.15 (tiada perubahan)\n\n\nHarga minyak petrol di Malaysia dipengaruhi secara langsung oleh harga pasaran minyak yang telah diproses (\nrefined oil\n) iaitu \nMean of Platts Singapore\n (MOPS) dan kadar pertukaran ringgit berbanding dolar Amerika Syarikat berdasarkan purata bulan sebelumnya. Mekanisme penentuan harga ini ditentukan melalui sistem apungan terkawal atau \nmanaged float \nyang ditentukan oleh \nAutomatic Pricing Mechanism\n (APM).\n\n\nMekanisme Penentuan Harga Minyak Automatik atau \nAutomatic Pricing Mechanism\n (APM)\n\n\nHarga minyak yang dijual di pasaran Malaysia tidak akan dipengaruhi oleh perubahan harga kos minyak harian. Sistem ini juga memastikan perbezaan harga minyak antara harga kos dan harga jualan dapat diserap melalui penggunaan subsidi dan pengecualian cukai jualan.\n\n\nKelebihan Mekanisme Penentuan Harga Minyak Automatik\n\n\n\n\nmembantu menyelaras, mengawal harga minyak petrol di dalam pasaran Malaysia;\n\n\nmengurangkan aktiviti pengawalan stok minyak oleh pihak pengusaha;\n\n\nmengelakkan rakyat daripada terkesan dengan sebarang perubahan harga minyak dunia.\n\n\n\n\nBermula Mac 2017, kerajaan Malaysia telah mengumumkan harga runcit petrol dan diesel melalui kaedah pengapungan terkawal secara mingguan. Kaedah penetapan ini turut dikuatkuasakan oleh Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Hal Ehwal Pengguna (KPNHEP) melalui warta Perintah Kawalan Harga dan Antipencatutan (Penentuan Harga Runcit Maksimum bagi Petrol dan Diesel). \nKaedah penetapan baharu\n \nini menjadikan tempoh pengiraan purata kos harga minyak lebih singkat dan membolehkan trend harga runcit yang lebih stabil berbanding kaedah penentuan harga bulanan yang diguna pakai sebelum ini.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSenarai Harga Minyak Petrol Terkini 2023\n\n\nCarsome turut menyenaraikan senarai lengkap harga minyak petrol di Malaysia untuk panduan anda.

soalan-soalan lazim berkaitan minyak petrol bagi menjawab persoalan-persoalan lazim yang biasa diajukan oleh para pelanggan kami.\n\n\n1. Apakah maksud RON dalam pengkelasan petrol?\n\n\nRON merupakan singkatan bagi \nResearch Octane Number\n (Nombor Oktana Penyelidikan) yang merujuk pada kaedah penarafan bahan api yang berlainan bergantung pada keupayaannya menentang pencucuhan automatik (\nauto-ignition\n) atau ketukan enjin (\nengine knocking\n). Semakin tinggi nilai RON, semakin mahal harga jualan petrol. Namun begitu, RON yang lebih tinggi bukanlah bermaksud lebih kuasa tetapi ia menentukan tahap ketahanan dan keupayaan bahan api untuk menahan kemampatannya sebelum terbakar. Secara asasnya, enjin yang lebih berkuasa memerlukan RON yang lebih tinggi. Periksa manual kenderaan anda untuk menentukan RON yang sesuai dengan enjin anda.\n\n\n2. Apakah perbezaan antara RON95 dan RON97?\n\n\nAngka pada RON95 atau RON97 hanya menunjukkan bilangan cabang hidrokarbon. Semakin tinggi bilangan cabang, semakin tinggi tahap pemampatan yang diperlukan untuk meledakkan bahan bakar. Apabila nisbah mampatan tinggi, kuasa kuda per berat enjin juga tinggi sekali gus memberikan prestasi enjin yang lebih tinggi. Namun begitu, RON97 dikatakan lebih bersih kerana kandungan sulfur yang rendah dan dapat menghalang pembentukan sulfur dioksida yang boleh menyebabkan jerebu. Malah, penggunaan RON97 juga dikatakan dapat mengurangkan impak pencairan ais di kutub utara.\n\n\n3. Bolehkah saya menggunakan petrol RON95 pada Enjin RON97?\n\n\nJika bahan api dengan daya ketahanan yang kurang digunakan pada enjin bertekanan tinggi, maka bahan api akan terbakar lebih awal sebelum dinyalakan oleh palam pencucuh. Ia sekali gus akan mengurangkan prestasi enjin dan mungkin akan merosakkan enjin anda.\n\n\n4. Bolehkah saya menggunakan petrol RON97 pada Enjin RON95?\n\n\nJika bahan api dengan RON tinggi digunakan pada enjin berkuasa rendah, ia tidak akan memberikan apa-apa kesan negatif dan tidak akan menambah baik prestasi dan keupayaan enjin anda. Namun begitu, petrol RON97 dijual pada harga yang lebih mahal di pasaran. Oleh itu, ia secara tidak langsung mungkin boleh menjejaskan kemampuan perbelanjaan bulanan dan sedikit merugikan anda. RON97 biasanya digunakan untuk enjin mampatan lebih tinggi dan disyorkan untuk kereta 2,500cc dan ke atas.\n\n\n5. Manakah yang lebih bagus antara RON95 dan RON97?\n\n\nKedua-dua RON95 dan RON97 mempunyai kandungan kuasa yang sama bagi setiap liter. Perkara yang membezakan kedua-dua jenis minyak ini ialah ketahanannya terhadap suhu dan tekanan tinggi tanpa menyebabkan letupan sebelum palam pencucuh menyala. Penggunaan RON97 dalam enjin biasa tidak akan menambahkan kuasa sesuatu enjin kerana kandungan hidrokarbon adalah sama dalam kedua-dua petrol. Penggunaan RON95 dalam enjin berprestasi tinggi pula akan menyebabkan enjin mengalami masalah pengurangan kuasa dan kecekapan enjin.\n\n\nNamun begitu, pengguna dicadangkan untuk menggunakan RON95 untuk pemanduan santai dan RON97 untuk pemanduan agresif. Selain itu, anda juga dinasihatkan untuk mempertimbangkan kapasiti enjin dan tahap kemampuan anda sebelum memutuskan minyak yang sesuai untuk enjin anda.\n\n\n6. Apakah RON yang sesuai digunakan untuk kereta saya?\n\n\nSecara ringkasnya, anda disarankan untuk menggunakan bahan api dengan indeks RON yang disyorkan oleh pengeluar kereta anda. Jika pengeluar kereta mengesyorkan RON95 untuk model kereta anda, ini bermakna minyak petrol jenis ini boleh digunakan tanpa masalah. Penggunaan bahan api yang disyorkan oleh pengeluar kereta akan memberikan prestasi yang terbaik untuk kenderaan anda.\n\n\n7. Antara minyak petrol Shell, Petron, Petronas atau Caltex, manakah yang lebih baik?\n\n\nSesetengah pengeluar seperti Petronas, Shell, Caltex atau Petron mencampurkan bahan aditif ke dalam petrol mereka. Bahan aditif ini berfungsi sebagai pemangkin untuk meningkatkan nilai RON, melancarkan proses pembakaran, menjamin kebersihan enjin daripada enapan karbon dan fungsi-fungsi lain bergantung pada pengeluar. Setiap enjin kereta berbeza dan hasil penggunaan minyak daripada sesuatu jenama bahan api mungkin berbeza mengikut model. Oleh itu, anda disyorkan untuk membuat pilihan jenis minyak yang tepat selari dengan kehendak, jenis kenderaan, cara penggunaan dan gaya pemanduan anda.\n\n\n8. Bolehkah mencampurkan minyak petrol daripada jenama yang berbeza?\n\n\nSetiap jenama petrol mempunyai formulasi yang berlainan untuk produk petrol masing-masing. Namun begitu, perbezaan itu tidaklah sebegitu ketara berbanding penggunaan petrol RON95 dalam enjin khusus untuk RON97. Ini bermakna, selagi anda menggunakan jenis petrol yang bersesuaian seperti yang disarankan oleh pengeluar kereta anda, tiada masalah untuk anda mencampurkan petrol daripada jenama berlainan.\n\n\n9. Adakah penggunaan RON97 lebih menjimatkan berbanding RON95?\n\n\nPenggunaan mana-mana jenis RON untuk kereta anda tidak akan memberikan sebarang penjimatan yang ketara. Walau bagaimanapun, penggunaan RON97 dikatakan dapat memberi sedikit penjimatan terutamanya memandu di kawasan berbukit. Ini kerana, pemanduan dalam keadaan sebegini dalam tempoh yang lama akan meningkatkan suhu dalam enjin sekali gus menyebabkan ketukan enjin berlaku. Petrol jenis ini berupaya melengahkan pemasaan nyalaan dan membantu mengoptimumkan operasi enjin. Namun begitu, dengan harga RON97 yang sedikit mahal di pasaran, penjimatan penggunaan bahan api ini mungkin tidak menjimatkan dompet anda.\n\n\n\n\nSejarah Harga Minyak Petrol Malaysia

Apart from an awesome \nroad trip playlist\n,\u00a0 all you need to do is to add an element of surprise and mystery to it and the best way to do it is with ghost stories and haunted places. Whether you believe in it or not is another story, but spooky stories bring a whole lot of excitement and thrill to your whole journey.\n\n\nRead more:\n \nCar Maintenance Checklist for Your Road Trip: 9 Things to Check Before & After Your Drive\n\n\nMalaysia is known for having numerous haunted roads and places but while it is often said that you shouldn\u2019t experiment with what is unseen, this does not stop thrill-seeking ghostbusters from making a visit just to make contact with the unknown.\u00a0 So, if you are easily spooked, this is the time for you to hit the exit button on your browser. You have been warned!\n\n\nFamous Haunted Road & Haunted Places in Malaysia\n\n\n1. Kellie\u2019s Castle in Perak\n\n\nKellie\u2019s Castle is located in Batu Gajah Perak and just like the Taj Mahal in India, this castle was built as a symbol of love from William Kellie Smith to his wife. This castle is an architectural gem as it combines both Moorish and Western elements in its construction. But it was never completed as Kellie Smith died of pneumonia in Europe back in 1926.\n\n\n\n\nThis castle has an eerie reputation with the discovery of four hidden tunnels under the house where over 70 construction workers died from the Spanish Flu while working on them. Some have even seen Smith\u2019s restless spirit roaming around a balcony that is now called \u201cGhostly Cloister Balcony\u201d. It is also said that his six-year-old daughter has been seen wearing an all-white ensemble and running around her abandoned bedroom.\n\n\nAs tourists have often gotten themselves lost in the tunnels while exploring, these tunnels are officially off-limits for all visitors today. But that didn\u2019t stop many from getting that eerie and spooky feeling when visiting this uncompleted mansion.\n\n\n2. Batu Maung War Museum in Penang\n\n\nThe Batu Maung War Museum in Penang,\u00a0 also known as the Ghost Hill (for the massacres that happened here), used to be a fort for the British army back in the 1930s. But after World War II, the Japanese army took over the site and made it into a place where they locked up prisoners from war. It is said that a lone soldier named Tadashi Suzuki carried out gruesome beheadings and tortured over 100 prisoners with his samurai sword here.\n\n\nimage source: \nSAYS.com\n\n\nThis museum was also included in a National Geographic documentary as one of the 10 top scariest places to visit in Asia as some of its attractions display plastic corpses and recreate realistic beheading experiences for tourists.\n\n\nNot only does this place send shivers down your spine, but it is also said that visitors have heard the sound of human screams echoing from the prison room while others have seen visions of Suzuki wandering the tunnels in this museum.\n\n\n3. The Notorious Karak Highway\n\n\nKarak Highway is famously known in Malaysia as the most haunted highway that gives you goosebumps. This highway connects Kuala Lumpur to Genting Highlands and was built back in 1970 but opened to the public in 1977. This highway that stretches for 60 kilometers is long, dark, windy, and is prone to accidents which often results in death. The largest crash that happened here took place in 1990, known as the 1990 Highway Crash, where a bus carrying passengers collided with a lorry, an FRU truck, two taxis, and six cars, leaving 17 people dead. So, it does not come as a surprise that there are numerous horror stories that came upon this particular highway. Here are some infamous horror stories believed to haunt Karak Highway.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Lost School Boy\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere are different sightings about people having seen a young schoolboy wandering the roadside of the dark Karak highway, looking lost and desolated. Do not ever stop if you come across a boy like this as he is looking for his dead mom, and would continue asking \u201chave you seen my mother?\u201d repetitively.\u00a0\n\n\nAccording to the legend, there was once an accident here that involved a young boy in his school uniform and his mother who was driving. She was thrown out of the car upon impact while the son remained in the passenger\u2019s seat with glass from the windscreen pierced into his eyes. Until today, it is said that he is still walking around that highway looking for his beloved mother.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Yellow Volkswagen Beetle\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe sighting of any yellow Volkswagen (VW) Beetle can be a common occurrence on any road but if you see one on the Karak Highway, you should definitely be worried. It is said that this yellow Volkswagen will first block your lane and move slowly, making you overtake it. Once you\u2019ve done that and continue driving along, there are chances of you seeing the yellow VW again, again driving as slow as possible. You will then be forced again to overtake this slow car but after a short while, the same VW appears again. So, as long as you overtake it, you will keep seeing it in front of you again and again, and again.\n\n\nimage source: \nSAYS.com\n\n\nThere are also stories about how there is no one driving the car and it appears to be driving in reverse. So, if you ever notice a yellow VW Beetle on the Karak Highway, it\u2019s best not to overtake it as it might keep appearing in front of you and cause an unwanted accident.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Flying Pontianak\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccording to many motorists that passed through the Karak Highway, they have seen a pontianak flying on the highway. As the legend goes, this pontianak is believed to be a woman who died during childbirth and is looking for revenge. She especially targets men and tears off their internal organs. These motorists claimed that this pontianak comes in the form of a beautiful young woman in white that is able to make heads turn. She is usually at the side of the road asking for a lift.\n\n\nWhile no one knows if this story involves an otherworld entity or an actual psychotic murderer, it\u2019s best to not stop for anyone or anything especially at night on the Karak Highway.\n\n\nAvoid Any Paranormal Sightings with These Driving Tips\n\n\nNo matter if you are a firm believer or a skeptic when it comes to eerie ghost stories and paranormal activities, these stories are sure to make your hair stand or give you goosebumps. But, if you are easily scared, driving on a dark road alone might freak you out.\u00a0\n\n\nSo, just to be on the safe side, it\u2019s always wise to travel when it is still bright outside or when the sun is still up. After all, it is said that ghosts or any other unusual sightings only happen at night.\n\n\nRead more:\n \n9 Easy Tips to Make Your Long Road Trip More Comfortable\n\n\nNevertheless, in order to avoid getting stranded on an empty and lonely highway, it\u2019s always best to check your car before you embark on your trip for a safe journey.

Up until a few years ago, most of us with our iPhone\u2019s and Samsung\u2019s would\u2019ve never expected the Oppo\u2019s and Xiaomi\u2019s to be as impressive as they are.\n\n\nAnd likewise with their cars. While vehicle\u2019s bearing Chinese stamps aren\u2019t new in the Malaysian automotive scene, they\u2019ve not seemed to have been as well received as their smartphones. But seeing as how their production standards have improved from fake iPhones to iPhone competitors, we\u2019ve been curious as to how their vehicle-manufacturing sector has fared.\n\n\nThe Haval M4 was a car we\u2019ve been looking to get our hands on, and spend a weekend with for the longest time. When the time came, we were fortunate to get our hands on the range-topping M4 Elite that comes with a host of accessories. Here\u2019s what we thought about the M4 given the brief period it spent under our watch.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nEngine, Transmission & Performance\n\n\n\n\nThe M4\u2019s 1.5-litre VVT four-cylinder engine output figures are at 103 hp with around 138 Nm of torque on the taps. Performance was delivered rather smoothly without leaving you wanting, bearing in mind that it\u2019s only just a 1.5-litre engine after all. That being said, unfortunately, performance was not uncompromised. You see power is delivered with the synergy of both a potent engine and an efficient transmission. But unfortunately the M4 Elite fell short with the latter.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIn an age where manufacturers strive within every inch of their expertise to engineer smoother, more efficient gearboxes, evidently with the CVT\u2019s and DSG\u2019s of today, the AMT unit in the M4 seemed to have stood somewhere between an old manual gearbox and a conventional automatic transmission. We felt it still needs a bit of work as it felt a little too slow to react.\n\n\nWhether its overtaking or coming out of a junction with the M4, the components in the transmission felt like it was having a meeting to deliberate on whether to upshift or to downshift. Subsequently then executed by a learner driver who was still learning the ropes of a manual gearbox and the clutch \u2013 a vein-popper for those who are in a hurry.\n\n\nThat being said, it\u2019s not an unbearable shortcoming. The M4 just needs a little getting used to. It requires finesse and encourages smoothness with the throttle, but once you get a hang of it, and with a little more feedback behind the car\u2019s \u201ctiptronic\u201d mode, gear shifts become less erratic.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBrakes, Suspension & Ride Quality \n\n\n\n\nThe brakes were pretty good to say the least; they were progressive and easy to modulate but yet offered sufficient bite and braking performance should you decide not to run the red light.\n\n\nThe combination of McPherson independent suspensions in the front and semi-independent suspensions at the rear provided plenty of controllability and ride comfort as the M4 Elite easily swept past bends and uneven surfaces with little to no drama. Even at hard braking, the M4 Elite was able to hold its footing and slow down effectively without any jitters.\n\n\nWhen maneuvering through less than favourable road surfaces, the M4 Elite ironed out all the bumps and humps well as you\u2019d expect from a car with a RM 70-odd thousand price tag. In fact, we\u2019ve reviewed a couple cars recently that were three times its price, but were less refined as the M4 Elite when it came to ride comfort.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nInterior\n\n\n\n\nThe interior was a real surprise package. It felt roomy due to its high roof line and had adequate insulation for minimal road and tire noise. However, leg room wise, we felt the M4 Elite could\u2019ve done better. Theoretically a five-seater, but in reality the M4 Elite would\u2019ve probably fared better with only 4 passengers.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat we\u2019d also like to point out is the fact that the rear seats felt a little too upright, with no adjustments available to lean further back. It may be comfortable enough for a short drive, but we\u2019re not sure if the same could be said for an 18-hour long \u201cbalik kampung\u201d trip.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe interior could have been completed with common car features such as backseat pockets, door panel storage spaces and cupholders for a car such as this, but seemed to be omitted by the manufacturer. Present with the Elite variant model, were leather seats and a leather-wrapped arm rest, which was probably the softest, most comfortable arm rest out there, but was lacking structure, akin to leaning your arm on an intoxicated person.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAs for the driver, while the high seated position provided a clear view ahead, it could be a setback for taller individuals as there weren\u2019t any height adjustment features. The Smart Tag which was cleverly integrated into the rear-view mirror and the Digital Video Recorder (DVR) as Haval calls it, were additional features in the M4 only found in this Elite variant.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAnother feature only available in this variant was the Around View Mirror which were made up of four cameras \u2013 one placed in each corner of the car, to project a 360-degree view of the car from the top and also intelligently projects either the left or the right side of the car onto the touch screen display according to your indicators.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nExterior\n\n\n\n\nWhile some may argue that certain quarters of the M4\u2019s exterior could\u2019ve been done with more curves and bulges, there\u2019s no denying that this car projects a stronger presence than others within its price range.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAnd there\u2019s certainly no overlooking the M4\u2019s front end; with the Elite variant that we reviewed, came with a Honeycomb front grill that stood out along with the Poly-Eclipse Projector headlamps and the Daytime Running Lights that provided a blend of luminous that more than adequately lit the path ahead.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe same can\u2019t be said about the rear though as its lackluster design just somehow made the front end look disproportionate with the back. Although, the refinement from the inside was clearly extended to the exterior with the way the door closes, the sound that it makes; is comparable to a car more than twice its value. Oh, and there were rear fog lamps too!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhat We Thought\n\n\n\n\nDespite shortcomings and setbacks, it\u2019s still fair to say that Haval is headed in the right direction with the M4 and they\u2019ve surely made our anticipation for the recently launched H2 even stronger.\n\n\nWhat we felt though, was that more attention could have been paid to the basic aspects of the car, like having a less erratic transmission or allocating a bigger boot, than with add-ons like the DVR, the AVR, built-in SmartTag and hood vents that most car owners in this price bracket would\u2019ve happily done without.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThis is because overall, the M4 Elite was a rather pleasant little package considering the price it is sold at; it turned heads, everything was adequate and worked well but it only takes one less than efficient component to disorient the attractiveness of the whole ensemble.\n\n\nWe\u2019re thoroughly looking forward to the impact Haval would have on our local automotive industry; if this is what they\u2019re making now, imagine what they could produce in the next 5-10 years.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nFind out what makes \nAlex Yoong\n tick both on and off the track!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nFor the best offers on the Haval M4 Elite, fill in the request form below!\n\n\n\nYour browser does not support iframes.\n\n\n\n", "Tags\nBuying a Car\nCars\nReviews", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Is it comparable to Japanese models and other segment strongholds like the Toyota Vios for example? Considering the segment and price differences, how does the Advance-variant Bezza fare in terms of features, practicality and sheer value for money against an entry-level J-variant Toyota Vios? Could you really get the same value, perhaps more, for less?\n\n\nWe\u2019ve laid out these facts for you to consider and decide.\n\n\nEngine & Performance \n\n\n\n\nWhile the Toyota Vios comes with a 1.5-litre engine which is about 200cc more compared to the Bezza\u2019s 1.3, the similarities are that both have twin cams. But the similarity ends there as the Bezza\u2019s new engine comes with a Dual VVT-I valve mechanism which has variable timing on both the inlet and exhaust cams as opposed to the Vios\u2019 single VVT-i which only operates for the inlet. As a result, despite a smaller engine, the Bezza performance can be assumed to be no less inferior to that of the Vios.\n\n\nBut performance, even fuel efficiency doesn\u2019t rely on the engine alone as there are various determining factors such as the weight of the car. And speaking of weight, the Bezza is a featherweight at only 930kg while the Vios comes in at 1065kg. This is where the extra 13bhp that the Vios produces compared to mere 94bhp of the Bezza\u2019s could be offset by the extra weight that it carries.\n\n\nWhile good fuel efficiency is pretty much set in stone with both cars, the Vios should technically go further as its strapped with a much bigger tank (at 42-litres) in comparison to the Bezza\u2019s 36-litre tank.\n\n\nInterior, Dimensions & Safety\n\n\nWhile they\u2019re both blatantly spacious cars, it seems like, on the surface as least, the Bezza is a taller car at 1510mm in height compared to the Vios\u2019 1475mm which could perhaps translate into more head room for some of you who might be vertically-privileged.\n\n\n\n\nOn the other hand, for those who aren\u2019t able to see past the dashboards, the driver\u2019s seat of the Bezza allows for height adjustments while the Vios\u2019 unit is fixed. Speaking of seat adjustability, another notable feature of the Bezza is that its rear seats are capable of 60:40 split folding while the Vios\u2019 isn\u2019t.\n\n\n\n\nSafety wise, while they both come with Dual Front airbags, Toyota\u2019s Vios comes with an Impact Absorbing Body and Head & Side Impact Protection Structures while the Bezza stands out with Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control and Hill-Start Assist features. Without trying to sound one-sided, you can see that with the Anti-Snatch hook, no doubt a simple feature, that Perodua have gone the extra mile by looking into the smallest details.\n\n\nExterior & Chassis\n\n\nOn the outside, not only does Bezza matches up to the Vios by offering Halogen headlamps, it trumps the Vios by offering fog lamps as well. That said, the Bezza falls short at the back with no rear fog lamps compared to the Vios but makes up for it by offering LED rear lamps instead of the Vios\u2019 halogen unit. Structurally, while the Bezza shares similarities with the Vios in that it applies McPherson struts in the front and Torsion Beams at the rear, the Vios does one better with stabilizer bars.\n\n\nCreature Comforts & Other Features\n\n\n\n\nBoth the Vios and Bezza do not fall short of features in this aspect as both cars are equipped with Smart Entry, Push Start, Remote Trunk release and Electric Power Windows. Also, while the Bezza\u2019s comes with a steering with Audio Controls and Auto Start/Stop System, the Vios doesn\u2019t. Also, the Bezza offers leather seats in its interior while the Vios makes do with Fabric units.\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerodua vs Toyota\n\n\nBezza 1.3 Advance\n\n\nVios 1.5 J\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEngine Capacity\n\n\n1.3-litre Dual VVT-i\n\n\n1.5-litre VVTi\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPower\n\n\n94 hp\n\n\n107 hp\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTorque\n\n\n121 Nm @ 4,000rpm\n\n\n141 Nm @ 4,200rpm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSafety Features\n\n\nHill Start Assist, Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, Brake Assist, Electronic Brake Force Distribution\n\n\nElectronic Brake Force Distribution, Brake Assist\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrices for the Vios 1.5 J variant starts from RM 81,880\u00a0while the Perodua Bezza 1.3 Advance variant starts from RM 50,800. While many would argue that it would only make sense for a Japanese-engineered vehicle to cost more, but with the high cost of living, and a clear RM 30,000 difference between the two, the choice should be clear for those whom are trying to squeeze every bit of their Ringgit for the most value.\n\n\nHave you thought of the\n things that affect your car\u2019s resale value\n?\n\n\nRead about our\n Renault Captur review\n here!\n\n\nFor the best new car offers, fill in the request form below!\n\n\n\nYour browser does not support iframes.\n\n\n\n", "Tags\nBuying a Car\nCars\nComparison\nReviews", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

But with an overwhelming response from industry followers on the resemblance in size and to an extent, their prices, we decided to once again break conventions and compare two cars from two different segments to see which car provides the most value for money.\n\n\nOn paper, at least.\n\n\nSo who pulled off the decisive check mate? As usual, we lay it out for you to have the final say.\n\n\nEngine, Transmission & Performance\n\n\n\n\nCredit: proton.com.my\n\n\nEngine capacity wise, there seems to be no competition. The Bezza Advance houses a snug little \n1.3-litre Dual VVTi \nengine while the Persona Premium brings more to the table with a \n1.6-litre VVT\n. To an extent, engine capacity does influence performance; a bigger engine is technically supposed to produce more power but we\u2019re not Americans.\n\n\nCredit: perodua.com.my\n\n\nThe differences in engine capacity could possibly be offset by the fact that the Bezza\u2019s 1.3-litre engine comes with a Dual VVTi system, providing variable-valve timing for both the inlet and exhaust cams in contrast to the Persona\u2019s single VVTi that only has variable-valve timing for the inlet cam. Both cars have taken different approaches in delivering the power too; with the Bezza running on a conventional \n4-speed Automatic transmission\n while the \nPersona adopts a CVT gearbox\n.\n\n\nAs a result, despite almost a 300 c.c. deficit, the \nBezza\u2019s output 94 horsepower\n and \n121Nm of torque \nisn\u2019t too far off the \n107 horsepower\n and \n150Nm of torque\n the Persona is capable of. A drag race between the two, no doubt irrelevant, should be interesting to watch!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nFuel Eco-nomy\n\n\nIt is claimed that the 1.3-litre, 4-speed automatic Advance-variant Bezza is capable of \n22 km/litre\n with its \nEco Idle System\n on while the 1.6-litre CVT Premium-variant Persona supposedly does \n17.9 km/litre\n (\nconverted from 5.6-litre/100km\n) with its \nEco Drive Assist System\n. Their respective weight could be a factor in this performance equation as the Bezza weighs in at only \n930 kg \n(kerb weight) against the Persona\u2019s \n1,210 kg\n (kerb weight).\n\n\nSafety, Brakes & Chassis\n\n\n\n\nAn illustration of the Persona\u2019s six airbags. \nCredit: proton.com.my\n\n\nOn the braking front, both deploy ventilated discs in the front while at the rear, they\u2019ve adopted drum brakes. They appear to be equally matched with safety features too; providing \nTraction Control\n, \nVehicle Stability Control\n, \nABS with EBD\n, \nBrake Assist\n, \nHill-Start Assist\n, \nPre-tensioner Seat Belts and ISOFIX with Top Tethers\n.\n\n\nHowever, the Persona standouts out from the \nBezza\u2019s dual front air bags\n by offering as many as \nsix-airbags\n including side and curtain airbags.\n\n\nInterior & Gadgetry\n\n\n\n\nThe Persona\u2019s dual-tone interior. \nCredit: proton.com.my\n\n\nOn the inside, it\u2019s clear who has the more superior interior just on first impression alone. While the Bezza sports a \nfull black interior with semi-bucket leather seats\n, the Persona offers a tad more vibrancy with \ndual-tone semi-sculptured leather upholstery\n along with Titanium Chrome finishing for a touch of class.\n\n\nBoth would easily house 5 passengers comfortably with ample leg room at the rear. Similarities also extend to the four speakers that both car\u2019s house within its interior. The Persona however goes up one from the Bezza with its sheer number of cupholders; \nseven\n as opposed to the \nBezza\u2019s four\n, with two cupholders in the front and two bottle holders at the back.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIllustration of the Bezza\u2019s Smart-Link system. \nCredit: perodua.com.my\n\n\nBoth offer steering switches to operate and control the Infotainment systems that comes with \nNavigation\n and \nReverse Camera\n. That said, while the Bezza offers a \nSmart-Link\n feature which sadly only caters to Android phones, the Persona stands out with two additionals; it\u2019s \nWIFI-enabled\n and comes with a rather obsolete DVD player.\n\n\n\n\nSpeaking of obsolete, the days of sharing one USB port and cable to charge four phones in a car are over. The Bezza offers a \n5V/2A rear USB slot\n while the \nPersona impressively doubles up\n on that.\n\n\nExterior\n\n\n\n\nSide profile of the Persona Premium (Top) and Bezza Advance (Bottom).\n\n\nWe shall refrain from the describing the individualistic design of each car; pictures alone should sufficiently speak for itself.

But of course to many, this is seen as the competition of the Perodua Bezza that was launched a few months earlier. With both cars aiming to cater, impress and please pretty much the same audience, we wondered, how would a new car-buying consumer pick between the two?\n\n\nSo here we are again, without any controversial cross segment comparisons, putting it out there for you to decide; beginning with\u2026\n\n\nPrice\n\n\nIs there a price difference? Yes, there is a price difference around RM 5,000. The Proton Saga Premium, which is the highest spec for the model is priced at RM 45,800 while the Bezza Advance just tips the scale over the RM 50,000 thousand mark at RM 50,800. Just on price alone, the winner is clear.\n\n\nDimensions\n\n\nHere the size differences between the two can be seen in height and length which have been worked to proper dimensions.\n\n\nBetween the two, the \nProton Saga is essentially 181 mm longer, 69 mm wider and 19 mm shorter\n than the Perodua Bezza. The wheelbase is also 10 mm longer than the Bezza. In theory, the centre of gravity is essentially better in this respect. In terms of comfort? We like them both and interior design is subjective to the individual. While it might not be a point for some, there is also an inch difference for both vehicle\u2019s rim size, with \n15-inch 185/55\n on the Proton Saga Premium and \n14-inches 175/65\n on the Perodua Advance.\n\n\nPerformance\n\n\nIn terms of output, they\u2019re identical. With a standard 1.3-litre engine, both are capable of an output of\n 94 horsepower\n. However, in terms of torque, the Bezza literally goes one up from the Saga by offering 1 extra Nm of torque more than the \nSaga\u2019s 120 Nm\n. On numbers its the same. The similarities on paper though, ends there. Until we do a test drive comparison, we\u2019ll be able to tell which feels more refined, quieter and better overall. We\u2019re somehow convinced though that the new Saga will have a better handling and a quieter cabin.\n\n\n\n\nAt \n101 horsepower per tonne\n, it\u2019s noticeably higher than the Saga\u2019s \n87 horsepower per tonne\n, which could be contributed by the 175 kg weight deficit it has over the Saga\u2019s 1,075 kilogram kerb weight. As such, in specifications alone, the Bezza would prevail between the two in terms of performance as it has to deal with less weight with the same amount of output.\n\n\nCredit: Perodua\n\n\nIn terms of transmission choices, this is where many would be subjective on the differences a CVT vs a conventional automatic has. But which is better? Technologically wise, the\u00a0benefits of a CVT transmission on the Saga trumps the traditional four-speed automatic on the Bezza.\n\n\nThe Bezza, as Perodua\u2019s first EEV sedan is claimed to be capable of \n22 km/litre\n which we assumed is a result of the Eco Idle System, essentially an Automatic Stop-Start system while the Saga, with Proton\u2019s Eco Drive Assist is capable of \n18.5 km/litre\n (converted from the claimed 5.4 litres/100km).\n\n\nSafety and Security\n\n\nThe necessity of keeping up with the times have definitely reflected on these two cars as they\u2019re both packed with driving aids that would give cars of a more superior segment a decent run for its money. A great two thumbs up for Proton and Perodua.\n\n\nBoth come with \nDual Front Air Bags\n, \nABS with EBD\n, \nElectronic Stability Controls\n, \nBrake Assist\n, \nTraction Control\n, \nHill-Start Assist \nand \nISOFIX\n for the little ones in the back seat. As for the grown-ups up front, the Saga only offers seat belt reminders for the driver while the Bezza\u2019s system is inclusive of the front passenger as well.\n\n\n\n\nThe Saga Premium is provided with 15-inch rims as opposed to the Bezza Advance\u2019s 14-inch.\n\n\n\n\nWhile the Bezza\u2019s reverse camera is projected on the headunit, the Saga\u2019s offers a different twist to the process by appearing in the rear-view mirror. How cool is that? Credit: proton-edar.com.my\n\n\nWhat we liked, that indicates Proton and Perodua are both moving with the times, is that not only are they equipped with rear sensors, they\u2019re also fitted with the same at the front. The rigidity of both the Saga and Bezza\u2019s shell have also been enhanced although in safety ratings, the Bezza has earned a \n5-star ASEAN NCAP Safety Rating\n, 1 more than the 4 afforded to the Saga.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is also good to note is that Proton\u2019s initiative to increase the rigidity of the latest Saga compared to the model it replaces is very welcomed. This certainly increases occupancy safety when it comes to more severe accidents.

However, the recent \nheat wave\n has been particularly intense and scorching. When temperatures soar, it doesn\u2019t just affect our bodies but also our cars.\n\n\nSo, while you try to stay hydrated and cool, let\u2019s not forget about your trusty vehicles. In this article we\u2019ll give you tips on how to protect your car and yourself during a heat wave in Malaysia.\n\n\nProtect Your Car\u2019s Battery\n\n\nCar batteries are often the first to suffer during a heat wave. High temperatures can cause the \nbattery to overheat\n, which can lead to damage or even failure. To prevent this, park your car in a shaded area or in a covered parking lot if possible. You can also invest in a car battery blanket or insulator to protect it from the heat.\n\n\nCheck Your Tyres\n\n\nDid you know that extreme heat can cause your tires to expand and \nblow out\n? Before hitting the road, make sure your tires are properly inflated and in good condition. Your wallet will thank you for avoiding an unexpected tire blowout. You should also avoid parking on hot concrete or asphalt for long periods of time, as this can damage the rubber and cause the tires to age faster.\n\n\n\n\nKeep Your Car\u2019s Interior Cool\n\n\nCar interiors can become unbearably hot during a heat wave, making it uncomfortable to drive or ride in. To keep your car cool, use sunshades on the windshield and side windows, and park in a cool, shaded area. You can also tint your windows or invest in a windshield cover to block out the sun\u2019s rays.\n\n\nRead more:\n \nChoosing the Right Car Window Tint in Malaysia: Here\u2019s Everything You Should Know\n\n\nKeep Your Car Maintained\n\n\nIt is very important to keep your car well-maintained during a heat wave. Make sure your radiator is functioning properly and your coolant levels are topped up. Check your car\u2019s \nair conditioning system\n and have it serviced if necessary.\n\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re not sure about how to maintain your car or don\u2019t have the tools to do so, why not \nbook an appointment\n at our CARSOME SERVICE CENTER? Our professional mechanics are experienced in handling all kinds of car-related issues, including air conditioner maintenance. We also offer comprehensive car inspections, oil changes, brake services, and more.\n\n\nAs the temperature rises during a heat wave, it\u2019s crucial to ensure that your car is well-maintained. Neglecting your car\u2019s maintenance can result in breakdowns, leaving you stranded in the sweltering heat. Now, let\u2019s talk about how you can keep yourself cool during this heat wave.\n\n\nStay Hydrated\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s easy to forget to drink water when you\u2019re busy, but staying hydrated is crucial during a heat wave. Bring a water bottle with you wherever you go and make sure to drink water regularly, even if you don\u2019t feel thirsty. Dehydration is no joke!\n\n\nAvoid the Hottest Hours\n\n\nThe sun is at its strongest between 11 am and 4 pm, so try to stay indoors or in shaded areas during those hours. If you must be outside, wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing, a hat, and sunglasses. And don\u2019t forget to slather on some sunscreen!\n\n\nStay in Air-Conditioned Areas\n\n\nIf you don\u2019t have air conditioning at home, head to a mall, library, or cinema to cool off. Or, visit a friend or family member who has air conditioning. You can catch up on your favorite TV shows while staying cool and comfortable.\n\n\nTake Cool Showers or Baths\n\n\n\n\nvia GIPHY\n\n\nWhen the heat gets too much, take a refreshing shower or bath to cool down. Cool water can help lower your body temperature and leave you feeling refreshed. Plus, it\u2019s an excuse to take a break and pamper yourself!\n\n\nCheck on Vulnerable Groups\n\n\n\n\nvia GIPHY\n\n\nDon\u2019t forget to check on the elderly, young children, and pets during a heat wave. These groups are more vulnerable to heat-related illnesses and may need extra care. Make sure they have access to cool and shaded areas, plenty of water, and are not left in hot cars.\n\n\nThe scorching temperatures can be uncomfortable, but with these tips, you can protect your car and yourself during the heat wave in Malaysia. Stay hydrated, keep your car\u2019s battery, tyres, and interior cool, and keep your car well-maintained to avoid any unwanted surprises on the road as well as to reduce the risk of damage caused by the sun\u2019s rays.\n\n\nBy taking these simple precautions, you\u2019ll be able to stay cool and drive safely during this challenging time. Don\u2019t forget to share this article with your friends and family to help them protect themselves and their cars during a heat wave.

We\u2019re Not High On This One.", "body": ["", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n", "Search", "Home\nAutomotive\nWeed Oil As Car Fuel?

Weed oil, or hemp oil as it\u2019s commercially known is being developed as an alternative fuel. The research and development into biofuel or biodiesel have been going on for more than a century. For the uninitiated, \nhemp oil is the byproduct made from the seeds of the cannabis plant, while Cannabidiol Oil (CBD) is extracted from the leaves. In terms of usage, hemp oil is favored in industrial properties due to its long-chain fatty acids called mono-alkyl esters present in the oil. On the other hand, CBD oil has a huge presence in the medical line to aid epilepsy, anxiety, and sleep disorders. And if you\u2019re wondering\n, Tetrahydrocannabinol o\nil (THC) is the one that sends you to \u201cgreater heights\u201d spiritually.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kgg0zpckGRU\n\n\nAlternative sources for biodiesel have been in research for more than a century with soybean oil, palm, rapeseed, and peanut oil in internal combustion engines after the discovery of emissions caused by burning fossil fuels. Hemp was originally cultivated from the seeds of the cannabis plant for the fiber it yielded for clothing, compost, and animal feed but research into hemp oil or \u201chempoline\u201d has been around since the 18th century. However, strict legislation for marijuana has set the research and development of hemp oil in limbo for a long time. Only in 1997 did Ireland and other Commonwealth countries begin to produce licensed industrial hemp which kickstarted back the development of hemp oil.\u00a0\n\n\nEffectiveness of Hemp Oil in Internal Combustion Engines\n\n\nIt is also important to note biodiesel as of now is not ready yet to be used on its own; it has to be mixed with petroleum as an additive for it to work properly. To date, hemp oil yields an abundant source of ethanol that cars need to run; they are easy to farm and harvest yet research into it is limited and inconclusive. \nHere are the advantages of hemp oil that makes it a potential alternative fuel source.\n\n\nHemp Oil Works Similarly to Petroleum and Self-Lubricates the Engine\n\n\nA study published by the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that hemp oil contains a high source of energy and low sulfur content, making it a potential alternative fuel source for internal combustion engines. In addition, the low viscosity of hemp oil means it can self-lubricate the engine with no carbon build-up like how petrol and diesel would do.\n\n\nNo Modifications Needed For an Engine to Run on Hemp Oil\n\n\nAnother study published by the University of G\u00e4vle, Sweden found that hemp oil can be used as a biofuel without any modifications to the \nengine\n, unlike contemporary sources of biofuel. In some cases, a whole new dedicated engine may be required to run biofuel smoothly or had to be mixed in with petrol or diesel. The study has also found that hemp oil produces lower emissions of carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons compared to conventional fossil fuels.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIf Hemp Oil Is That Beneficial, Why Isn\u2019t It Being Used Commercially?\n\n\nWith all the benefits of industrial hemp oil that has a high yield, high octane fuel, easy to use and source, with little to no smoke emissions produced, why isn\u2019t it being produced commercially yet? Or better yet, why isn\u2019t hemp oil or other forms of biodiesel being used as the fuel of the future? The answer lies in \nvarious bureaucracies\n in governments worldwide and competition in the industry.\u00a0\n\n\nLegalities Behind It\n\n\nLet\u2019s face it, the legality of cannabis is still up for debate however, one cannot deny the industrial benefits it brings to the world. From medical to culinary and industrial, the ubiquitous nature of the cannabis plant yields too many benefits to be ignored. Much of the perception of this infamous plant has changed over the past few years in the west with many states opening up to its use for industrial and recreational purposes. Closer to home, Malaysia still has staunch laws prohibiting the use of cannabis. According to \nMalaysia Now\n, anyone found in possession of 200g of marijuana is presumed to be trafficking illegal drugs and could face the death sentence, while those in possession of 50g or less face imprisonment of up to 10 years.\n\n\nThere is a silver lining for industrial hemp to be kickstarted in Malaysia. Talks about legalizing hemp oil in the country with limitations for medical and industrial use have been going around after witnessing the successful results of our Thai neighbors. Thailand last year has just legalized the recreational use of cannabis with great success in the country, boosting tourism and their economy with it. As of today, there is a \nstrong rally\n for the legalization of medical hemp oil in the country but it\u2019ll take time for our country\u2019s government to warm up to the idea.\n\n\nCompetition with Hydrogen Cars and EVs\n\n\nAnother reason hemp oil isn\u2019t widely adopted and researched is that there is a huge competition with EVs and Hydrogen cars. The race to find a replacement for fossil fuel cars has been tough and it seems EVs are \nslowly winning the competition\n even though the race has just started. Hydrogen cars, on the other hand, are somewhat being sidelined but car brands like Toyota, Hyundai, and Mercedes are slowly looking into the technology albeit \nhydrogen vehicles\n may need more time to be researched before they can be a sustainable option.\n\n\n\n\nThe Hydrogen & Battery EV Toyota Corolla AE86 at the 2023 Tokyo Auto Salon\n\n\nWith these two options at hand, it\u2019s quite hard for biofuel to be a viable choice for industrial and commercial use. The adoption of hemp oil also has one more challenge that stops it from being adopted around the world \u2013 it\u2019s costly to produce and refine it.\u00a0\n\n\nCost to Refine Hemp Oil\n\n\nConspiracy theories aside, hemp oil is indeed expensive to produce and refine. While the cannabis plant has many advantages such as being \neasy to plant\n, requiring little to no maintenance on plant growth, and can be planted in any terrain, refining industrial hemp is a \ncostly process\n that hinders most prospects from doing it. Moreover, hemp oil, just like any other source of alternative fuel, requires an \nabundant amount of land\n to have an industrial yield.\u00a0\n\n\nHemp oil is also \nexpensive and requires a lengthy process\n to refine unlike soybean oil and peanut oil due to the specialized equipment and skills required for the job. To refine enough hemp oil for commercial use, especially in our cars would require a massive operational facility, even more so than a fossil fuel refinery. This technology and plant are still relatively new to Malaysia but if there\u2019s one source of potential biofuel to be adopted in the country, it would be palm oil.\n\n\nThe Abundance of Palm Oil In Malaysia\n\n\nIf there is a source of organic product that has an abundance in Malaysia, it would be palm oil. Unbeknownst to many, Malaysia and Indonesia are both the world\u2019s biggest palm oil producers and exporters. The \nMalaysian Palm Oil Industry\n claims that in 2020, Malaysia accounted for 25.8% and 34.3% of the world\u2019s palm oil production and exports, respectively. Furthermore, according to the \nJournal of Oil Palm Research\n, the palm oil industry generated RM108.52 billion in revenue for Malaysia as of 2021. With such a profitable industry, there\u2019s little chance hemp oil and plantations would get a foothold here.\n\n\nRefined palm oil for biofuel has been exported to Europe and \ngrown nearly 400%\n between 2008 to 2018. However, claims of deforestation, labor exploitation and \nhabitat loss\n caused the European Union to \nban palm oil\n which halted the industry\u2019s growth.\u00a0\n\n\nWould you be choosing biofuel as a sustainable means of transportation? Do you think hemp oil or industrial cannabis can revolutionize the reputation of this infamous plant? Let us know!\u00a0\n\n\nDisclaimer\n\n\nCARSOME does not condone any illegal activities among our readers such as the purchase, possession, and consumption of cannabis in Malaysia. In accordance with the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, any individual caught with 200 grams of cannabis will be given the death penalty.\u00a0\n\n", "Brian Wong", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Traffic is hectic, and distractions are all around us, and other drivers or pedestrian\u2019s driving behaviour affect us too. A recent Ford survey found that an alarming number of young drivers who admitted using risky behaviour while driving, such as speeding and even watching videos on mobile. Below are 5 practical driving tips to help you be a better new driver:\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBuckle Your Belts\n\n\nWearing a seat belt is Rule #1, you just can\u2019t take that away. There are many drivers and passengers that just refuse to wear a seat belt, especially in the backseat as well. One of the common excuse given for avoiding seatbelts is not wanting to wrinkle clothes! Other reasons are that some people just prefer the comfort of not wearing seatbelts or tied down by something.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWell, did you know that you can reduce your chance of injury by half in an accident, more so reduce the risk of death by 45 percent? Seatbelts are very important, don\u2019t just count on your airbags.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nKnow Your Car\n\n\n\n\nEvery car is different and functions almost differently. Understanding how to use your head lights, windshield wipers and temperature controls, would help you to get through tough situations on the road.\u00a0To add on, many cars today are equipped with driver-assist technologies like Forward Collision Alert or Lane Departure Warning System to help keep you safe on busy roads. Familiarize yourself with your car\u2019s technological system will go a long way in ensuring a safer ride.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBeware of Distractions\n\n\n\n\nThe list of distractions that could potentially affect our driving experience on the road are aplenty. From phone alerts, social media, lack of sleep, loud music, or even to meddle with the vehicle\u2019s media system, it causes accidents. Distracted driving is directly linked to a large number of accidents and fatalities on the road. Focus on the road, it is best to leave distractions behind for a fully safe & careful driving experience\n\n\nAccording to Ford\u2019s 2017 survey on distracted driving,\u00a054 percent of drivers in Asia Pacific stated that they try not to use their phones while driving \u2013 but they do anyway. These distracted moments while driving may be a matter of life and death, with extreme risks we certainly do not want to take.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDefensive Driving\n\n\n\n\nAre you often the aggressor or the more defensive one on the road? Aggressive driving behaviour may include: making frequent or unsafe lane changes, failing to signal, tailgating or disregarding traffic controls. Practical defensive driving tips include the use of turn signals, keeping two hands on the steering wheel. For the regular driver, it\u2019s better not to engage with aggressive drivers as it only encourages them further. Follow the speed limit and stay within the lane, it\u2019s not a race.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nUnexpected Weather\n\n\nPractice driving in bad weather in a safe, secluded location to see how your traction, braking and steering are functioning at various speeds. Strong winds or driving on flooded roads are common occurrences on Malaysian roads.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHere are a few strategies for driving through the rainy season: make sure to replace windshield wipers before the rains start and check your tyres that they have adequate tread and properly inflated. Also, turn on your headlights to ensure optimum vision on the road ahead. Take it slow, as driving at high speeds on slipper roads can cause your car to lose traction and skid.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nMore tips on how to improve your driving skills? \nClick here\n to read more!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell today with Carsome.

Accidents can happen anywhere and even to the most careful and best of drivers. Just because you are a defensive driver, it doesn\u2019t mean that the guy next to you is. Here are some points to help you understand a little more about car insurance.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCoverage\n\n\n\n\nInsurance plans are separated by three main types, Third-Party Cover, Third-Party Fire and Theft Cover, and Comprehensive Cover. Additional coverage for your car may include death or bodily injury due to a motor accident, liability against claims from the passengers in your vehicle, or even loss or damage arising from acts of nature, such as flood, storms and landslides. Most insurance policies will offer additional coverage options which you can select, if you often drive around certain areas in which your vehicle may be more susceptible to damage from Mother Nature.\n\n\nOther additional options for coverage include windshield breakage, which will help you replace it in the case of damage.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAdded Services\n\n\nCertain insurance providers may provide some extra benefits, depending on the policy. They may also have extra servicing branches to help you out should you need to check with the offices for a claim or collect a form. When you\u2019re purchasing insurance for your car, you may want to consider these services.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nPremiums\n\n\n\n\nPremiums are your payments to the insurance providers. The cost of every insurance policy is determined by a few factors. This includes the market value of the car, the size, capacity, coverage as well as the number of drivers per car. Now that insurance is heading to detarrification, premiums will be based on the risk behaviour of the consumers.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nNo Claim Discount\n\n\nThe No Claim Discount (NCD) is a discount provided to you when you do not make any insurance claims during a specified period. This means that you will have to be careful to avoid accidents caused by you. In Malaysia the percentage of this increases year-on-year on the condition that no claim has been made. For private cars after the fifth year onwards, the rate is 55%. One thing not many might know, but in the event that the accident was not your fault, you are able to claim your insurance without losing your NCD. Your NCD is only lost if there is someone claiming against you.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nClaims\n\n\n\n\nShould you decide to make a claim on your insurance for a major damage, the \u201cOwn Damage Claim\u201d, and the \u201cNo-Fault Own Damage Claim\u201d, is one that depends on the cause of the damage or accident.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAs a standard procedure for making an \u201cOwn Damage Claim\u201d, you should:\n\n\n\n\nReport to the police within 24 hours, as required by law.\n\n\nSend your vehicle to an authorised workshop for immediate attention. Certain insurance companies have a list of panel authorised workshop which will identify the cost and sort out the repairs.\n\n\nCollect the claim from your insurance company and sign accordingly, and submit the following documents:\n\n\nOriginal police report\n\n\nRepairer\u2019s or workshop\u2019s estimated cost of repairs\n\n\nCopies of your insurance policy, vehicle registration card, road tax disc, identity card and driving license of the vehicle owner and driver (if the driver is different), and hire purchase agreement (if applicable)\n\n\n\n\nFor \u201cNo-Fault Own Damage Claims\u201d, you will need to add on copies of the following documents where applicable:\n\n\n\n\nSigned declaration letter (for No-fault accident)\n\n\nThird party\u2019s police report\n\n\nPolice compound/findings\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDo note that the procedures above depend on your insurance provider.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nClick here\n for 5 tips to help you become a better driver.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car to Carsome today!

According to a report from Autocar UK, it said that about 6,000 units of the A110 has been sold worldwide, with 400 in Japan alone.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCredit: Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA)\n\n\nFirst revealed in August, the A110 S is built to be a more focused sports car that joins the Pure and Legende variants. According to Alpine\u2019s Chief engineer, Jean-Pascal Dauce, the objective of the S variant was to intensify the engine\u2019s character and power deliver. It is characterised by high-speed stability and handling precision.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPower now has increased by 40 PS over the existing versions of the A110. The 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine remains but has been boosted to deliver more performance. Output is now 292 PS with torque at 320 Nm and available from 2,000 to 6,400 rpm. Drive is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed Getrag dual-clutch transmission. A brake-based e-differential system (brake torque vectoring) ensures that the A110 S delivers very sharp and immediate drive away from a corner with minimal wheelspin.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nUpdates mechanically includes new anti-roll bars, stiffer coil springs and dampers. Ride height has also been lowered, but the A110 S is said to still be an everyday car despite the new chassis setting. As for styling elements, the A110 S is distinguishable from the model range with flag details on the rearmost pillars in carbon fibre and orange, black Alpine script across the rear, orange brake calipers and version specific \u201cGT Race\u201d wheels with a dark finish.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nMitsubishi Mi-Tech Concept\n\n\nCredit: Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA)\n\n\nMitsubishi says that the Mi-Tech Concept was built to be a small plug-in hybrid electric SUV that embodies the brand statement of \u201cDrive Your Ambition\u201d. The buggy type design adopts Mitsubishi\u2019s signature Dynamic Shield front look with a satin plated colour at the centre of the grille and a bold hexagon with the T-shaped tail lamps at the rear.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCredit: Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA)\n\n\nWhat makes the Mi-Tech Concept interesting is its drivetrain. Inside is a lightweight compact gas turbine engine-generator in place of the traditional gasoline engine. The gas turbine has its flexibility to run on a variety of fuels such as diesel, kerosene and alcohol which can be selected depending on the regions. Further, its exhaust is clean so it responds to environmental and energy issues.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe Mi-Tech Concept also has Mitsubishi\u2019s S-AWC Integrated Vehicle Dynamics Control System to a Quad Motor 4WD System with front and rear Dual-Motor Active Yaw Control units. This makes it possible to transmit the optimal driving force to all four wheels if two are spinning out.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSubaru Levorg Prototype\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Levorg Prototype at this year\u2019s Tokyo Motor Show is essentially a preview to the second-generation model. It is an all-new car that is based on the Subaru Global Platform with a full inner frame construction which provides a better driving experience.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTechnologies will include the next generation EyeSight \u2013 with renewed stereo camera to scan a wider viewing angle in combination with four radars located in the front and rear bumpers. It senses 360-degree around the vehicle and has expanded a range of pre-collision braking operation to cover crossing and turning at an intersection of low visibility. Newly developed is also a precise locator to detect vehicle position by utilizing information from GPS, combining HD map data to reduce speed before going into a curve to assist hands-free driving in traffic congestion.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlso new is a 1.8-litre horizontally-opposed direct-injection turbo engine with lean-burn technology that balances acceleration and environmental performance at a high level. Unfortunately, there are no interior images at the moment. The production version is scheduled to go on sale in Japan second quarter of 2020.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nToyota Mirai Concept\n\n\n\n\nThe next-generation Mirai fuel cell electric vehicle has been totally re-designed and improved on all aspects. The first-generation launched in 2014 with about 10,000 cars sold globally. This proved that hydrogen power was another way to diversify energy resources and yet have clean emissions. The all-new Mirai is bigger than its predecessor and has substantial improvements in driving performance.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe fully-redesigned fuel cell system including its fuel cell stack delivers substantially improved performance. This includes targeting a 30 per cent increase in driving range (of about over 600 km) over the current generation thanks to increased hydrogen storage capacity, among other measures.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInterior wise, the cabin comes equipped with a 12.3-inch wide screen on the centre console and instrument panel that embraces the driver. This is a simple modern space that creates warmth and comfort. The use of Toyota\u2019s New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform allows for five seats instead of four on the current gen Mirai.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCredit: Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA)\n\n\nMore details of the new Mirai will be available at a later date, with a scheduled launch starting in 2021.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nJust in case you missed it, Honda also introduced the \nall-new 4th generation Jazz\n at the Tokyo Motor Show.

A window tint not only provides privacy when you\u2019re in your vehicle, but also protects you from glare, heat, and harmful UV rays. With a wide range of tint films in the market, how does one go about selecting the \u201cright\u201d one? Here\u2019s a guide to help you choose the right solar car window tint according to your needs.\n\n\nWhat Should You Know About Tinting Your Car Windows?\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nVisible Light Transmission (VLT)\n\n\nVLT levels are normally represented in percentage which is equivalent to the percentage of visible light that enters the vehicle window. In other words, with 30 percent VLT, 70 percent of visible light is filtered out while only 30 percent of visible light enters the cabin. The lower the percentage of VLT, the darker the window film since there is less light entering the cabin.\u00a0\n\n\nTotal Solar Energy Rejection (TSER)\n\n\nTSER measures the amount of heat that a window tint film blocks out. The heat entering a car through the window comprises 44 percent visible light, 53 percent infrared radiation (IR), and three percent ultraviolet rays. TSER takes into account this ratio to give a more accurate heat rejection value in car tint films. The higher the TSER value, the more heat and solar energy the film is able to block out.\n\n\nAlthough having a high heat rejection generally causes the price of a car window tint to increase, car window tints are getting more affordable. In Malaysia, the price of a standard car window tint that blocks out 60 to 95 percent of heat can now range from RM500 to RM1,000.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nThings to Check Before and After a Road Trip\n\n\nUltraviolet (UV) Rays\n\n\nUV rays are a spectrum of electromagnetic waves produced by the sun. Although most of the UV rays are already absorbed by our atmosphere, their concentration outdoors is still high enough to damage our skin and eyes. UV protection is a vital feature in a car window tint, so pay attention to how much UV protection the product provides. Fortunately, most modern window tint films already block out at least 99 percent of UV rays.\n\n\nThings to Consider when Choosing a Car Window Tint Film\n\n\nThere are various factors to consider when choosing a window tint for your car. Besides just considering the VLT and heat rejection capabilities of a tint film, it\u2019s important to also look at factors such as the quality of the tint film, warranty, and more.\n\n\nTint Film Quality\n\n\nImage source: truckparadise.com\n\n\nLow-grade, cheap tint films are more prone to color changes, bubbling, warping, and peeling. When any of these happen, you might get reduced performance from your car window tint which translates to more heat in the car.\u00a0\n\n\nWhile low-grade car window tints in Malaysia could cost below RM500, they often don\u2019t last as long and don\u2019t provide the same level of heat protection and security as quality window tints. Depending on the available features on a tint film and its type, the price of a high-quality car window tint in Malaysia can range from RM500 to RM5,000.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nGuide to the Easiest Car Colors to Maintain\n\n\nBasic Protection Features\n\n\nAs mentioned above, exposing your skin to the sun can lead to skin problems and even skin cancer. To prevent that, it is crucial to carefully select a quality window tint that provides the protection you need.\u00a0\n\n\nA basic quality tint film will have UV protection and heat rejection features, while more advanced films even have anti-theft protection making the window hard to break. Most standard car window tints already block out 99 percent of UV rays. So, most of the time, you will only have to consider how dark you want your windows to be and how much heat you want to keep out of your car.\n\n\nSecurity Car Window Tints\n\n\nBesides protecting you from harmful UV rays, car window tints can also prevent your windows from shattering into tiny pieces during an impact. Security films can hold broken glass pieces together and keep them from going airborne which may cause collateral damage and hurt you when an accident or robbery happens.\u00a0\n\n\nSecurity films can prove helpful if you often park in a secluded or crime-prone area as it makes it more difficult and time-consuming for the robber to smash your car windows. Do note that security films are not designed to be totally impenetrable \u2013 this is so that rescue operations can take place should you be in a situation where you are trapped in the car.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTinting Warranty\n\n\nMost quality car window tints come with a minimum five-year warranty from the manufacturer. In case the film has a defect or starts peeling within the warranty period, the warranty allows you to replace your tint film free of charge. This is also why it is important to only purchase auto films from legitimate authorized dealers.\u00a0\n\n\nBefore getting your car windows tinted, check the brand\u2019s website for the list of authorized dealers around you. This is to ensure that you will still be covered by your warranty even if that outlet is no longer in business. You should also compare the length and coverage of the warranty as some brands provide a longer warranty period.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nWhat Do Road & Safety Sign Boards in Malaysia Mean?\n\n\nTypes of Car Window Tints in Malaysia\n\n\nBefore choosing a window tint for your car, you should know what are the types of tint films available in Malaysia and their features. Since different types of tint films have different features, durability, and price, this is an important factor to consider.\n\n\n1. Dyed Window Tint\n\n\nA dyed window tint film comprises several layers of dyed film. The dye in the film affects the color, light transmission, and heat rejection of the film. This is the most basic type of tint film and is generally the most affordable. However, it is also more prone to fading and might need replacing after several years. If going for a\n\n\n\u00a0dyed window tint, ask the dealer how long it can last and also what is covered in the warranty.\n\n\n2. Metalized Window Tint\n\n\nMetalized window tints are popular due to its fairly affordable price and proven quality. A metalized film contains tiny metallic particles that act to reflect heat, light, and UV rays. It generally performs better than dyed tint films and is more scratch-resistant. However, the metallic particles in the film can interfere with GPS and mobile phone signals, RFID Tags, and even your auto gate signal.\u00a0\n\n\nAnother issue with metalized films is corrosion. Corrosion happens when metal is exposed to water and air, causing a chemical reaction. It affects the appearance of the film and even the heat rejection performance. Over time, the color of the tint might change to purple or brown which eventually affects visibility.\n\n\n3. Hybrid Window Tint\n\n\nA hybrid window tint film combines dyed films with metallic particles (usually titanium). It provides the benefits of both dyed and metalized tint films while being more cost-effective and causing less interference to radio signals than metalized films.\n\n\n4. Carbon Window Tint\n\n\nA carbon window tint film contains carbon particles and is a step up from metalized tint films. A carbon film is more effective at blocking light and heat, without causing radio signal interference. It also adds a matte look to your windows which gives your car a unique aesthetic. However, carbon window tints tend to cost more than metalized ones.\n\n\n5. Ceramic Window Tint\n\n\nCeramic window tint films are considered the best in the market. They are made with nano-ceramic technology and outperform other types of tint films. A ceramic tint film has better UV ray rejection, sun glare reduction, visibility, and heat rejection. It also causes no radio signal interference and has added structural strength, making it a better choice for security window tints. That being said, ceramic window tints are a premium product which means they have higher prices than other tint films.\n\n\nRead More\n: \nWhat to Know Before Upgrading Your Car\n\n\nCar Window Tinting Rules & Regulations in Malaysia\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIn 2019, the Road Transport Department (JPJ) has updated the regulations on car window tinting. With the current\n\u00a0regulations, vehicles are allowed to have 70 percent VLT on for the windscreen, 50 percent VLT on the front side windows, and unrestricted VLT on the rear windows. However, a darker film does not necessarily reflect heat better than a clear film. Heat rejection is calculated based on TSER. So, when choosing a film to cool your car, keep in mind that a darker tint doesn\u2019t mean better heat rejection.\n\n\nChoose Carsome for Peace of Mind\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a reliable, quality car, check out \nCarsome\n.

In the company\u2019s 2016 annual report, the brand set out to be the leader in electrified vehicles, set by an initial goal to sell 100,000 electrified units by the end of 2017, which it did. Fast forward to 2020, and the group already has over half a million electrified vehicles on the road worldwide. While most of the sales are hybrid vehicles, the shift to all-electric is gradually increasing. At its current portfolio, the BMW Group already has two all-electric models currently on sale \u2013 the BMW i3 and Mini Electric. With the BMW iX3 due to be launched this year, and another two by 2021, the brand\u2019s introduction of the Concept i4 is looking to change the electrification landscape once it goes into production next year. Recently unveiled, these are the highlights and a peek into BMW\u2019s first-ever all-electric sedan.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nExterior\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBMW unveils the brand\u2019s new look for the first time on 3\nrd\n March 2020. The new logo for communications also provides the basis for the two-dimensional and transparent badge on the Concept i4.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith its four doors, the Concept i4 offers not only a high level of practicality but also a much larger interior than the car\u2019s dynamic proportions would suggest.\n\n\nCrisp, smooth lines and taut volumes form a modern sculpture and create a clear surfacing language.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe modern exterior paint shade Frozen Light Copper reprises a color shade displayed by the BMW Vision iNEXT and showcases the interplay of surfaces to visually stunning effect.\n\n\nBlue elements in the front end, flanks and rear all point to the car\u2019s BMW i origins. They shine a spotlight on the signature BMW \u2018I\u2019 icons and bring the technology to the fore.\n\n\nSeveral aerodynamic measures help to maximize the car\u2019s electric range. The most distinctive features alongside the blanked-off kidney grille and clear aero lips are the wheel rims designed exclusively for the Concept i4.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe prominent, blanked-off kidney grille creates a bridge between the past and future of the brand. With no combustion engine to require cooling, it serves as an \u201cintelligence panel\u201d that houses various sensors. The grille teases the technology behind the scenes with a design reserved exclusively for this model.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBMW i Blue diffuser elements in the rear end indicate the presence of a pure-electric drive system and reference the design of the BMW i Vision Dynamics.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nInterior\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the front of the cabin, the new BMW Curved Display teams up with the steering wheel to reveal a unique expression of driver-focused design. The display will be used in the production versions of the BMW iNEXT and BMW i4.\n\n\nAlmost all operating functions \u2013 even climate control \u2013 are integrated into the BMW Curved Display as part of an overall approach centered on reducing the number of controls to the minimum.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe understated use of different materials and the necessary arrangement of controls creates a modern yet also luxurious ambiance.\n\n\nThe central control panel replaces a traditional gear lever with a toggle-type shifter. Elements such as the iDrive Controller and seat memory buttons in the doors are finished in a crystal glass.\n\n\nThe cloth or leather combination for the seats \u2013 composed of microfiber with line graphics and natural leather tanned using olive leaf \u2013 sets a high-quality and sustainable seal on the interior.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe rear compartment offers unexpected levels of headroom and legroom for a coupe. The cut-out in the head restraints is a classy detail that references sporty BMW models from the current line-up.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nUser Interface\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThree different Experience Modes within the Curved Display enable users to explore the various facets of the electric drive system. They provide a look ahead in terms of visuals to the next-generation operating system for BMWs from 2021.\n\n\nThe visual differentiation between the three Experience Modes (\n\u201cCore\u201d, \u201cSport\n\u201d and \n\u201cEfficient\u201d\n) spans everything from how the user experiences the display and graphics to how the interior is presented. Ambient lighting in the dashboard, doors and below the display indicate the technical adjustments taking place.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u201cEfficient\u201d mode debuts an \u201cAssisted Driving View,\u201d which opens deeper insights into the car\u2019s technology, such as how it communicates with its surroundings.\n\n\nWorld-famous composer Hans Zimmer worked together with BMW sound designer Renzo Vitale under the brand name BMW IconicSounds Electric to develop the acoustic flavor of the Concept i4. Audio accompaniments to opening the door and starting the car are part of its soundscape.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhat to expect\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFifth-generation BMW eDrive technology is a defining feature of the BMW i4 and therefore also of future electric mobility. The electric motor, power electronics, charging unit and high-voltage battery are all-new developments enabling the BMW Group to take another significant step forward in the field of electrified drive systems.\n\n\nThe electric motor developed for the i4 generates maximum output of up to 530 hp, which ranks it alongside a current BMW V8 combustion engine. Its immediate power delivery gives the i4 standout performance attributes and exceptional efficiency.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe version of the battery developed for the i4 impresses with its extremely slim construction and optimized energy density. It weighs roughly 550 kilograms, has an energy content of around 80 kWh and achieves an operating range of up to 600 km.\n\n\nSeries production of the new BMW i4 will begin in 2021 at the BMW Group\u2019s main plant in Munich, Germany. Approximately 90% of the existing production equipment in the body shop can be incorporated into the process, i.e., adapted to manufacture the i4. However, the remaining 10% \u2013 especially the machinery involved in building the rear structure \u2013 will need to be made. The company is investing a total of around 200 million euros in Plant Munich to bring series production of the BMW i4 to fruition.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe new logo\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter 23 years, BMW unveils new corporate identity for online and offline communication purposes. The brand says that the new logos are better suited visually to the digital age.\n\n\nThe logo is two-dimensional and conveys openness and clarity. The change is to reflect BMW\u2019s transition from focusing purely on automotive to technology and connections.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe new logo is a new media branding and will be used in addition to the existing logo. However, it won\u2019t be used on vehicles or in the exterior and interior labeling of the brand\u2019s dealerships.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZumk8qqA_c\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRead below for more stories!\n\n\nBMW has introduced the latest \n320i Sport and X1 M Sport facelift\n \nin the market!

Read on and check out the highlights of the new 3 Series sedan.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe new 3 Series sedan is codenamed G20 and is 76 mm longer, 16 mm wider and 1 mm taller than its F30 predecessor. Wheelbase has been increased 41 mm.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe body structure and suspension mountings has received increased stiffness. Overall body rigidity has been increased up to as much as 50 per cent.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew shock absorber technology has been developed for the new 3 Series sedan. The lift-related dampers are part of the car\u2019s standard chassis and provides a major contribution balance of sportiness and comfort.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe weight of the new 3 Series sedan has been reduced up to 55 kg less than the predecessor.\n\n\n\n\nNotice the differences in bumper, head lights and wheel sizes between the Sport line and M Sport.\n\n\n\n\nAerodynamics for the 320d variant has been reduced from 0.26 to 0.23. This is contributed from the almost completely sealed underbody, aerodynamically optimised wheels and the use of Air Curtains at the front and the latest generation of active air flap control on the kidney grille and lower air intake. Drag for the 330i is 0.24 cd.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull-LED headlights come as standard, with the optional new U-shaped daytime running lights that draw out the hexagonal curved design from the brand\u2019s latest generational and concept vehicles.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nA front look at both Sport and M Sport versions showcase the differences in the bumpers and DRL designs on the head lamps.\n\n\n\n\nDifferentiating the Sport, Luxury line and M Sport models, the front end bumper design are characteristic of the outer air intakes, with the horizontal T shape on the former, and the distinctly larger and muscular designs on the latter. The T-shape element design, also seen on the rear bumper for the Sport and Luxury line, was originally developed by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) for the intake air in jet engines and later became a feature for classical racing cars.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe side look features a distinct dynamic contour line near the side skirts that guides the eye to the rear wheel arches. Look higher and the rear doors have a new interpretation of the Hofmeister kink with the element of the window frame now integrated into the C-pillar.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe new 3 Series\u2019 rear LED tail lamps are 3D in shape, with the new L-shape with darkened light units provide a wider look.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe new design language for the interior is in full effect, one that brings the styles from the Concept 8 and X7 over for practical application. From the driver\u2019s point-of-view, the digital instrument cluster has been redesigned to feature geometric bands on the outer edges. This allows the centre to focus more on navigation and routing. Joining this is BMW\u2019s next generation Live Cockpit Professional running OS 7.0 and intelligent personal assistant included.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe debut of the Intelligent Personal Assistant is a digital character that is able to aid the driver and passengers via voice command. With further updates, the system will be able to learn routines, habits and will be able to apply them accordingly. This includes favourite settings, navigation, adjust on-board entertainment and more.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe centre instrument panel now features buttons and displays for the air conditioning and central air vents into a grouped unit. At arm rest, the centre console also has redesigned control panel, where the Start-Stop button, newly designed gear selector lever, iDrive controller, Driving Experience Control and electromechanical parking brake.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Sport and M Sport steering wheels have been updated for the latest 3 Series. Notice the blue contrasting stitching on the upholstery and the Aluminium mesh effect on the latter.\n\n\n\n\nBMW\u2019s Head-Up Display is now 70 per cent larger than the outgoing model, with information of speed, speed limits, overtaking restrictions, Check Control message, status indicators and warnings from the assistance systems, detailed route guidance and turn instructions, and telephone and entertainment lists.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA complete trim look now joins the new generation, with elegant open-pore wood options and finishes including Aluminium Mesh Effect.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEngines and transmissions more likely for the Malaysian market include the 320i four-cylinder 2.0-litre TwinPower Turbo petrol developing 184 hp with 300 Nm of torque from 1,350 to 4,000 rpm. Century sprint of 7.2-seconds, with an average fuel consumption of 6.0 to 5.7-litres per 100 km and CO2 figures of 137 to 129 gm per km. The more powerful 330i outputs 258 hp with peak torque of 400 Nm from 1,550 to 4,400 rpm. Sprint time is 5.8-seconds with 6.1 to 5.8-litres per 100 km fuel consumption and CO2 figures of 139 and 132 gm per km. The exhaust treatment system includes a particulate filter to reduce emissions of particulate matter. Transmission is an Eight-Speed Steptronic.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMid-2019 will see the introduction of the 330e PHEV model which would provisionally provide up to 60 km of electric range and have a fuel consumption of 1.7-litres per 100 km and CO2 figures of 39 gm per km.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTechnologies that are part of the new 3 Series include Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go helps to maintain the chosen cruising speed but also a safe distance from the vehicles ahead. The operational speed range can be done from zero to 210 km/h with the maximum length of time between stops extended to 30 seconds. The systems sensors also now registers the movement of vehicle ahead of the immediate vehicle.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStandard safety includes Collision and Pedestrian Warning with City Braking and Lane Departure Warning. The former is the latest version with cyclist detection.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Driving Assistant Professional (DAP) optional package includes Steering and lane control assistant, using the trifocal camera to read road markings and vehicles driving ahead. It is able to assist the driver and keep the vehicle within the detected lane, and also guide the vehicle through narrow channels such as roadworks. Part of DAP also has evasion aid for pedestrians, Priority warning and Wrong-way warning, and Cross-Traffic alert.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOptional Comfort Access will allow users to employ a Digital Key via NFC technology to unlock the vehicle through smartphone. For example, when the door handle has been opened, the engine can be started when the phone has been placed in the wireless charging or smartphone tray. BMW Digital Key is available for all NFC-enabled Samsung Galaxy smartphones on Android 8.0 and above. Alternatively, BMW\u2019s Key Card can offers the same functionality.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nTL;DR\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car through Carsome and you could get up to 20 per cent higher in market price through our bidding platform!\n\n", "Tags\nCars\nLifestyle\nNews", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

As Malaysians, we should strive to be better as 2020 was originally slated to be the year for \u2018Wawasan 2020\u2019 (Vision 2020). What better way to kick off this year than to be better drivers on the road?\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTo start, we as adults often neglect to strap ourselves in; even at the back. In fact, the use of the seatbelts for rear passengers has been enforced by the government over a decade ago in the 2008 amendment for the 1987 Land Transport Act and comes with a RM 300 fine. Unknown to many, not wearing the seat belt is also among the most severe in the list of traffic offences that can be broken down into several categories:\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCategory 1\n \u2013 Offences that contribute to high rates of road accidents, traffic jams and taxi-related offences.\n\n\nCategory 2\n \u2013 Active offences and closely related offenses related to driver\u2019s bad behaviour and technical errors in vehicles that may contribute to road accidents.\n\n\nCategory 3\n \u2013 Passive offences that are closely related to technical errors of the vehicle which may increase the risk of accident to others as well as offences that render the vehicle unsafe.\n\n\nCategory 4\n \u2013 Other offences other than Categories 1,2 and 3 (which do not contribute to road accidents).\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nImage credit: The Borneo Post\n\n\nHowever, the prices of fines are not only based on the category and severity of the traffic offence. Depending on what you commit, the timing of payment is also a factor. To be better informed and more responsible drivers, the following list of traffic misdemeanours may surprise you.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nTraffic offences with discounts of up to 50% if you pay early\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nInstalling \u201ccurtains\u201d on your vehicle windows (Category 4 Offence)\n\n\n\n\nWe find this one a little strange, but the reason behind this one is due to curtains being a permanent fixture. The law states that curtains are only allowed on busses, caravans and vans used to transport passengers. As an alternative, motorists are encouraged to use sunshades instead.\n\n\n1 \u2013 15 days = RM 100\n\n16 \u2013 30 days = RM 150\n\n31 \u2013 60 days = RM 250\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nParking your vehicle less than 10 feet/ 3 metres from a fire hydrant (Category 3 Offence)\n\n\n\n\nDepending on circumstances, emergency service personnel can move your vehicle without your permission during an emergency if your car is obstructing the hydrant.\n\n\n1 \u2013 15 days = RM 100\n\n16 \u2013 30 days = RM 150\n\n31 \u2013 60 days = RM 250\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nNon-functioning third brake light (Category 3 Offence)\n\n\n\n\nHere\u2019s a fun fact. Did you know that the third brake light in vehicles was only mandatory in the United States since 1986 and in Malaysia since 1995? The history of the Centre High Mounted Stop Lamp (Third Brake Light) goes back to 1977, when research into traffic safety found that the use of the third brake light resulted in over 50% reduction of rear-ended accidents. The reason for this is simple \u2013 by mounting a third brake light on a higher central position, it provides the driver with a clearer view of several vehicles ahead and a quicker reaction time to braking.\n\n\n1 \u2013 15 days = RM 150\n\n16 \u2013 30 days = RM 200\n\n31 \u2013 60 days = RM 300\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThrowing litter out of your vehicle (Category 2 Offence)\n\n\n\n\nAs adults, we need to be more mindful of the environment and to also educate our children on this as well. Nobody likes a litterbug.\n\n\n1 \u2013 15 days = RM 150\n\n16 \u2013 30 days = RM 200\n\n31 \u2013 60 days = RM 300\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nStopping your vehicle at a pedestrian crossing (Category 2 Offence)\n\n\n\n\nAs drivers we often neglect the space between junctions and traffic lights. This often leads to the matter above. This comes with the following fines depending on the payment period.\n\n\n1 \u2013 15 days = RM 150\n\n16 \u2013 30 days = RM 200\n\n31 \u2013 60 days = RM 300\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAnd some serious offences that you shouldn\u2019t be committing\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nOvertaking from the left (Category 1 Offence)\n\n\n\n\nBoth vehicles and motorcycles are frequently seen committing this offence. Often ignored by road users, there\u2019s also a very valid reason as to why overtaking from the left is wrong and dangerous. Due to our right-hand drive, it is harder for drivers to look at the left side of the vehicle than the right. So please be more responsible and stop doing this.\n\n\n1 \u2013 15 days = RM 300\n\n16 \u2013 30 days = RM 300\n\n31 \u2013 60 days = RM 300\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDriving against traffic on a \u2018\nJalan Sehala\u2019\n/ One Way Street (Category 1 Offence)\n\n\n\n\nWe can\u2019t say more than there\u2019s a high risk of you causing an accident when you\u2019re driving against traffic. You\u2019re going the wrong way buddy.\n\n\n1 \u2013 15 days = RM 300\n\n16 \u2013 30 days = RM 300\n\n31 \u2013 60 days = RM 300\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nFalling asleep while driving & using the mobile phone while driving (Category 1 Offence)\n\n\n\n\nWhile most are guilty of mobile phone use, drowsy driving is worse than drunk driving, and both are among the top contributors to traffic accidents and fatalities. While caffeine and energy drinks are a quick fix to restlessness, the only way to solve tiredness is by having proper sleep. If you are driving a long distance and find yourself dozing off, pull over to the nearest rest stop and get a nap.\n\n\n1 \u2013 15 days = RM 300\n\n16 \u2013 30 days = RM 300\n\n31 \u2013 60 days = RM 300\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWant to know more about the list of traffic offences in Malaysia? \nClick here\n to visit the Road Transport Department (JPJ) website to download the list of new compound rates for traffic offences.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRead below for more stories!\n\n\nDid you know that from 1 January 2020, it is mandatory to strap your children into child car seats? \nClick here\n for more on the ruling, certified labels and how to select the right seat for your child.\n\n\nInterested in the all-new 2019 Toyota Corolla? \nHere\u2019s all you need to know\n.\n\n\nGetting a new car includes getting car insurance. \nDo you know what your car insurance covers?\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIt\u2019s the new year!

Cars included the 911 GT3 Cup race cars from the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia, all 8 generations of the 911 including the latest 992, the 919 Hybrid, 918 Spyder and even a peek at the Mission E 1:3 scale model that is the concept designation for the upcoming all-electric Porsche Taycan.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n \n\n\nEngaging programmes included the Porsche Driving Experience where participants took part in lane change braking exercises as well as a slalom challenge. Parents with children also signed up their kids for the Porsche Junior Experience programme. The brand also took the opportunity to introduce new products and solutions in the form of the Macan S and a 360 Leasing programme.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nPorsche Macan S\n\n\n \n \n\n\nThe introduction of the Macan S joins the local Porsche line up. Underneath the hood lies a new 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 engine developing 354 hp and a torque of 480 Nm, a 14 hp and 20 Nm increase compared to its predecessor. Updates include the LED lightbar at the rear, and a lighting system that features full LED technology as standard.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n\n\nThe Porsche Active Stability Management (PASM) active damper control system has been modified to adapt to the new model\u2019s features, the height-adjustable air suspension with optimised rolling pistons and new shock absorber hydraulics and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus are optionally available to improve the model\u2019s driving dynamics and handling further.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWith increase in power comes better brake response. A change in pedal feel and immediacy is noticeable, with the driver being able to feel a very precise pressure point. Larger front brake discs in diameter and thickness positively influences the driving dynamics of the Macan S.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe Macan S is now open for booking and starts from \nRM 625,000\n inclusive of the Premium Package as standard and a 4-year warranty and maintenance package, including parts and labour.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nPorsche 360 Leasing programme\n\n\n\n\nThis new programme is an alternative to conventional ownership models via financing and provides customers and companies the financial flexibility to drive away with a new Porsche every three years with only a 10% or 25% refundable security deposit (for company lease of individual lease respectively) based on the selected vehicle value. Customers are only required to pay the monthly lease rental during the three-year lease tenure, which provides customers the opportunity to invest of save their funds that would otherwise be spent on owning the entire cost of the car.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAt the end of the lease term, customers have the option to either upgrade their current leased Porsche model to another to enjoy a different driving experience, or upgrade to the latest model in the same range. Those who also want to extend their lease or potentially have ownership on the current model can also do so or decide to return the leased car without worry on the residual value or additional commitments.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBest of all, as part of the ownership, cars under the 360 Leasing come with warranty and maintenance package that includes service, parts and labour by an authorised Porsche Service Centre. A full comprehensive insurance package for all drivers, inclusive of windscreen and natural disaster cover and road tax is also included.\n\n\nWhat do you think?\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nHave you checked out BMW\u2019s latest X7 SUV yet? \nClick here\n for more information!\n\n\nOr delve in \nMercedes-Benz\u2019 latest GLE 450 AMG here\n!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car through Carsome!

The S90 T8 features the company\u2019s highest Inscription trim interior, and joins the current S90 range of T5 and T6 engines in their Momentum and R-Design trims respectively. We conclude that the T8 is the best offering and you should look to get one. Why? Read on to find out.\n\n\nIt Features the T8 Twin Engine AWD Powertrain\n\n\n\n\nThe T8 Twin Engine as it name implies, is a combination of an internal combustion engine and electric power. The combustion engine here is the supercharged and turbocharged T6 engine at the front, which joins a 65kW electric motor at the rear with 240 Nm of peak torque. Synergized, the hybrid unit produces 407 hp and 640Nm of torque through all-wheel drive in Power mode, while Pure mode drives the rear wheels exclusively from the electric motor. The T8 marks the beginning of Volvo\u2019s hybrid powertrain for the future. Just a few months ago, the brand announced that every Volvo launched from 2019 will feature an electric motor, underlining the company\u2019s commitment to minimising its impact on the environment.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nImpressive Acoustics on the Move\n\n\n\n\nBritish audio company Bowers & Wilkins collaborated with Volvo Cars in the development of the car\u2019s premium audio system, and it certainly can be heard. Here the company\u2019s innovative Kevlar drivers and Nautilus tweeters are positioned on all doors and the rear, as well as B&W\u2019s tweeter-on-top located at the dashboard \u2013 the latter most is placed to reduce the reflections from the windscreen. A ventilated subwoofer was a world\u2019s first in the XC90 and is now also in the S90. In total, the B&W system in the S90 features 19-speakers driven by a highly-efficient amplifier with a total of 1,400 Watts of power.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nInscription Interior Trim\n\n\n\n\nIt is very rarely we get to see car interiors that provide a true sense of visual beauty matched with straightforward functionality. The meticulous detail in materials is especially evident in the Inscription trim that takes finesse to a ten. The comfort seats are upholstered in nappa leather, the interior inlay is finished in a linear walnut (but can be further customised with a dark flame birch or metal mesh aluminium depending on market). To finish it with a touch of class, the centre console features a handmade crystal gearshift made exclusively for the brand by Orrefors, a Swedish glassworks company founded in 1898.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nMore All-Electric Range\n\n\n\n\nVolvo claims that the S90 T8 will provide up to 50km all-electric driving range when the batteries are fully charged. If the numbers are right, it means that this plug-in hybrid has the furthest all-electric range than any other PHEV currently sold by other manufacturers locally. As mentioned previously in the powertrain section, when it comes to the pure electric mode, the electric motor drives the rear-wheels exclusively, while the combustion engine drives the front. In hybrid and power modes, a mix of economical and AWD does it magic to provide the best as needed.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIt\u2019s Priced Right\n\n\n\n\nThis can be viewed in various ways, but we feel that the T8\u2019s starting price of RM368,888 for the Inscription and RM388,888 for the Inscription Plus is priced rather well for a car of this class and size. In fact, the closest competitor, the Mercedes-Benz E350e is priced from RM392,888 is even more than the highest specified T8 Inscription Plus variant. Best of all, anyone ordering the T8 before November 2017 will get RM20,000 off the on the road prices for both variants \u2013 that\u2019s RM348,888 and RM368,888 respectively!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat do you think?

Here Are the Common Hidden Fees When Buying a Used Car in Malaysia", "By\n \nDevan S", "20/07/2022", "\n\n\n\n\n", "New cars depreciate in value the minute they leave the car dealership, sometimes by up to 20 percent in the first year alone. That\u2019s why buying a used car can often save you a good amount of money. That being said, many buyers who buy a used car end up paying a lot more than the listed price of the car, thanks to the hidden fees imposed by the dealer.\u00a0\n\n\nThese can include the Puspakom fees, car service costs, and processing fees for the used car. And the worst thing is, the fees are often inflated to drive up their profit.\u00a0\n\n\nHere are the common hidden fees you might encounter when buying a car from a used car dealer.\n\n\n\n\n1. Puspakom Inspection Fee\n\n\nBefore transferring the ownership of a vehicle from the seller to the buyer, it needs to pass an inspection at Puspakom to certify that it\u2019s in good condition and safe to drive on the road. Below are the two types of inspections.\n\n\n\n\nB5 inspection:\n This is the standard ownership of transfer inspection that\u2019s done to determine that the vehicle is safe, lawful, and is not a cut-and-joined or \u201c\nkereta potong\u201d\n vehicle. The\n B5 inspection\n costs RM30.\n\n\nB7 inspection:\n This is a more comprehensive inspection for hire-purchase vehicles, and is required on top of the B5 inspection when you take up a loan to buy the car. It covers additional inspection points including emissions, tire alignment, brakes, and speedometer inspection. The B7 inspection costs RM60.\n\n\n\n\nFor most used car buyers, the Puspakom inspection fee should total up to RM90 which includes the B5 and B7 inspection fees. However, some dealerships charge buyers up to RM500.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nWe Bust 5 Misconceptions about Pre-owned Cars\n\n\n2. Loan Processing Fee\n\n\nThe used car loan processing fee usually includes document handling fees, the car loan stamp duty, and the cost of dealing with the bank. While the loan stamp duty charged by most banks is only RM20, some used car dealerships charge up to RM600 in loan processing fees. They might also call it an agreement fee, or even charge you two separate loan processing and agreement fees.\u00a0\n\n\nTo avoid paying an unnecessarily high loan processing or agreement fee, ask your dealer for a breakdown of what\u2019s included in the fee. If it seems exorbitant, you can negotiate it down or consider buying from more reputable dealers such as CARSOME. CARSOME only charges a minimal amount in loan processing fees and already includes it in the price of the car, which means that the price you see on the CARSOME website is the final price.\n\n\n3. Ownership Transfer Fee\n\n\nThe vehicle ownership transfer fee is the fee you need to pay to the Road Transport Department (JPJ) when transferring ownership of any vehicle in Malaysia. In the case of personal cars, the cost is RM100 and applies to individuals who are buying used cars. It\u2019s worth noting that this fee also applies to vehicle ownership transfers that don\u2019t involve financial transactions, such as transfers between family members.\u00a0\n\n\nAt some used car dealerships, you can get charged as much as RM500 for a vehicle ownership transfer, which is five times the cost set by JPJ. While it\u2019s understandable that they may need to pay their runners to handle the process at JPJ, you shouldn\u2019t be required to pay RM500 for it.\n\n\nRead More:\n \n5 Benefits of Getting a Pre-approved Car Loan\n\n\n\n\n4. Car Servicing Fee\n\n\nWhen buying a used car, you may be asked to pay a car servicing fee to cover the maintenance costs of the car borne by the dealer. This covers things such as the engine oil change, brake pad change, battery replacement, and other \ncar servicing\n costs. While it\u2019s considered the dealer\u2019s responsibility to replace the fluids and consumables in the car before handing it over to the customer, many used car dealers charge up to RM1,000 in hidden car servicing fees.\n\n\nAt CARSOME, we put all our cars through a 175-point inspection and carry out a professional refurbishment that covers mechanical and general repairs, as well as paint and body work. Even with the refurbishment cost, \nCARSOME Certified\n cars are still competitively priced and do not carry any hidden refurbishment costs \u2013 it\u2019s something we take upon ourselves to give you quality pre-owned cars that are above standards.\n\n\n5. Sales & Services Tax (SST)\n\n\nSST is a tax that\u2019s only applicable to new cars. However, that hasn\u2019t stopped some used car dealers from applying SST to the price of their cars. If you are told to pay SST while buying a used car, don\u2019t do it!\u00a0\n\n\nWith some used car dealers charging hidden fees such as tax and processing fees, you could end up paying as much as RM4,000 to RM5,000 on top of the car\u2019s listed price.\u00a0\n\n\nThat\u2019s why we hope this list can help you avoid the hidden fees and make better decisions when choosing a used car dealer.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nHow to Sell Your Car with an Existing Loan\n\n\nGet Honest Prices When You Buy CARSOME Certified\n\n\nUnlike many used car dealers, CARSOME doesn\u2019t charge any hidden fees on our cars.

He started as an apprentice mechanic at a workshop in his teenage years. He then started a business called Tokai Seiki producing engine components. In 1946, he started a company that designed and built motorcycles called the Honda Technical Research Institute where its first products were motorized bicycles equipped with a 50 cubic centimeters (cc) engine.\u00a0\n\n\nIn 1949, Soichiro Honda incorporated Honda Motor Co. Ltd. and produced the first complete Honda motorcycle which was the D-Type, also known as the Honda Dream. It wasn\u2019t until 1963 that Honda would produce its first production automobile which was the T360 mini pick-up truck powered by a 356 cc four-cylinder engine. The T360 was followed by the S500, a compact sports car that was the predecessor of the modern S660 and S2000.\n\n\nGrowing a Global Presence\n\n\nBy 1964, Honda became the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. It also continued to expand its automobile production and exports globally. In 1986, Honda launched its luxury brand, Acura, in America. Its initial offerings, the Acura Legend executive sedan and Integra compact car were successful and resulted in the brand selling more cars than Mercedes-Benz and BMW in 1987.\u00a0\n\n\nHonda then introduced the iconic Honda NSX supercar in 1990 which was the first car to have an all-aluminum monocoque body with a mid-engined 3.0-liter V6 power plant and variable-valve timing. With the NSX, Honda showcased its ability to produce an affordable and reliable supercar that punches way above its weight. The company continues to produce vehicles that provide great value for money and complement the buyer\u2019s lifestyle such as the Honda Jazz and CR-V.\n\n\n\n\nHonda N360 [Image Source: Wapcar.my]\n\n\nHonda\u2019s Journey in Malaysia\n\n\nHonda first arrived in Malaysia in 1958 thanks to Tan Sri Loh Boon Siew. After he saw Honda motorcycles during his trip to Japan in 1957, he was impressed and sought to convince Soichiro Honda to allow him to import them to Malaysia. He was successful and became one of the first overseas Honda motorcycle distributors, opening his first showroom in Penang selling the Honda C100 SuperCub.\n\n\nIn 1960,\u00a0 Kah Motor Co Sdn Bhd was incorporated with the introduction of the first Honda car showroom in Kuala Lumpur. Two years later, another showroom was opened in Penang to keep up with demand. In 1967, Kah Motor introduced the N360, a small, two-door, four-passenger car with an air-cooled 354-cc engine. Honda later brought in the \nCivic\n in 1972 which was a fastback sedan with a 1,169-cc four-cylinder engine and advanced features such as front disc brakes, wood-trimmed dashboard, and optional air-conditioning.\n\n\nView listing:\n CARSOME Certified Honda Civics for sale\n\u00a0\n\n\nImmediately after that, the company was revamped as Oriental Holdings Sdn Bhd, and appointed as the assembler of Honda cars in Malaysia. Oriental continued to produce Honda cars and later also auto parts including car and motorcycle engines for the OEM (Original Equipment Market) and REM (Replacement Market).\n\n\n\n\nHonda Melaka Plant [Image Source: Piston.my]\n\n\nLaunching a New State-Of-The-Art Honda Plant\n\n\nOn 30 January 2003, Honda officially launched its new manufacturing plant in Pegoh, Melaka. It covers an area of 80 acres with 13 acres of total built-up area and had an annual production capacity of 50,000 units. The first vehicle to roll out from the plant was the second-generation Honda \nCR-V\n. Later in the same year, the plant also produced the \nHonda \nCity\n, \nCivic\n, and \nAccord\n, all popular cars in their segments.\n\n\nView listing: \nCARSOME Certified Honda Citys for sale\u00a0\n\n\nView listing: \nCARSOME Certified Honda Accords for sale\n\n\nThe Melaka Manufacturing Plant played a major role for Honda not only in Malaysia but also for the region as it became Honda\u2019s fourth Constant Velocity Joint (CVJ) components factory in the world. This means it made CVJ components for assemblers in other countries including Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, India, and Pakistan.\n\n\nThe Road to Producing a Million Units\n\n\nIn 2007, the plant celebrated a major milestone: the production of its 100,000th car within five years of its operation, which was a Honda Civic. After starting the operation of the second manufacturing line at the Melaka plant in 2014, Honda increased its annual production capacity to 100,000 units.\u00a0\n\n\nHonda continued to introduce new vehicles to keep up with the evolving lifestyle of its consumers. Brand new cars that Honda premiered over the years include the \nHonda HR-V\n in 2015, \nBR-V\n in 2017, and City hatchback in 2021. In 2022, the company finally reached the 1,000,000 production units milestone which signified the trust they had from Malaysian consumers. Just like with its 100,000th car in 2007, Honda celebrated this milestone with the all-new Honda Civic FE.\n\n\nView listing: \nCARSOME Certified Honda HR-Vs\n\n\nView listing: \nCARSOME Certified Honda BR-V\n\n\nOver the years, Honda has captured the Malaysian market with cars that fit every lifestyle. Even now, it continues to enhance the overall experience of owning a Honda by expanding its hybrid technology, VTEC turbocharged engines, Honda Sensing safety suite, and Honda Connect app.\n\n\n\n\nGet a CARSOME Certified Honda Today\n\n\nWith our large selection of \nCARSOME Certified Honda\n cars, you can be assured that any Honda you buy is in great condition following our strict 175-point inspection.

Enjin dan Kadar Penggunaan Minyak\n\n\nHonda City merupakan salah satu model kereta sedan paling popular di Malaysia.

Selain itu, enjin jenis ini menjanjikan nisbah mampatan yang lebih tinggi, geseran yang lebih rendah dan pembakaran bahan api yang lebih baik. Ia sekali gus memberikan penjimatan penggunaan bahan api yang lebih efisien dan memberikan lebih kilometer bagi setiap liter petrol. Penggunaan bahan api bagi varian manual adalah sekitar 21.7 km/l dan 22.0 km/l bagi varian automatik empat kelajuan. Malah, varian automatik juga dikatakan lebih menjimatkan kerana didatangkan dengan \nEco Idle\n (sistem henti melahu).\n\n\n2.

Keselesaan\n\n\nSelama bertahun-tahun, Honda City utuh menjadi penanda aras dengan menawarkan keselesaan dan ruang kabin yang luas serta teknologi termaju yang sentiasa menjangkau jangkaan pelanggan berbanding segmen sedan lain. Honda City generasi terbaharu ini memberi fokus kepada keselesaan dengan menawarkan ruang kabin dan ruang kaki yang lebih besar dan luas sekali gus memberi keselesaan yang optimum bukan sahaja kepada pemandu dan penumpang hadapan, malah turut menjanjikan keselesaan kepada penumpang tempat duduk belakang. Malah, Honda City turut menawarkan kapasiti but yang paling luas dalam kelasnya \u2013 536L dan mampu memuatkan barangan bersaiz besar.\n\n\nMeskipun merupakan sedan kompak \nentry-level\n, Perodua Bezza juga tidak ketinggalan dalam menjanjikan keselesaan kepada penggunanya.

Keselamatan\n\n\nHonda City turut menawarkan ciri keselamatan terbaik. Dua varian teratas Honda City 2020 dilengkapi dengan enam beg udara yang sememangnya mendahului kelas. Manakala, dua varian seterusnya dilengkapi dengan empat beg udara dan model ini turut menerima penarafan lima bintang bagi ujian ASEAN NCAP. Sama seperti Honda, Perodua juga tidak berkompromi dalam aspek keselamatan. Perodua Bezza telah menjalani ujian pelanggaran dan menerima penarafan lima bintang daripada dari ASEAN NCAP untuk model 1.3L Advance.

Ruang dalaman yang luas dan praktikal dengan dilengkapi pelbagai teknologi pintar terkini pada harga yang berbaloi sememangnya sebuah pelaburan jangka panjang yang menguntungkan sesuai untuk keluarga kecil anda. Namun begitu, jika anda menginginkan sebuah kereta idaman dengan spesifikasi yang hampir sama dengan bajet yang terhad \u2013 Perodua Bezza adalah jawapannya. Meskipun ditawarkan dengan tawaran harga yang lebih murah, model ini turut menawarkan sistem keselamatan dan kawalan kestabilan yang setanding, penggunaan bahan api yang menjimatkan serta ruang kabin yang selesa.\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda sedang mempertimbangkan untuk menjual kereta lama anda untuk memberi ruang kepada Honda City 2020 atau pun Perodua Bezza 2020 baharu anda, anda boleh mempertimbangkan untuk menjual kereta lama anda di \nCarsome\n.

The Honda City Hatchback is set to make its appearance in Malaysia sometime this year but before that, here are the specifications of the Honda City in comparison to the Sedan and the Hatchback.\n\n\n*Note: comparison and price are based on Honda City Hatchback that is \nreleased in Thailand\n.\n\n\nHonda City Sedan VS Honda City Hatchback Specifications\u00a0\n\n\nExterior Dimension\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHonda City Sedan\n\n\nHonda City Hatchback\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLength\n\n\n4,553mm\n\n\n4,345mm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWidth\n\n\n1,748mm\n\n\n1,748mm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHeight\n\n\n1,467mm\n\n\n1,488mm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWheelbase\n\n\n2,600mm\n\n\n2,589mm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccording to the dimensions, the Honda City Hatchback is relatively smaller which is expected as it is similar to other hatchbacks \u2013 it can pack as much as humanly possible into the smallest space available.\u00a0\n\n\nHowever, the sedan might be the perfect car for families due to the spacious build as it can comfortably fit up to 5 adults comfortably.\u00a0\n\n\nMeanwhile, the hatchback is better suited for working adults and first-time car owners, who need a simple, no-hassle car that is small enough to navigate through Malaysian roads. Plus, it is much easier to drive and park a small hatchback especially in tight corners and small spaces.\u00a0\n\n\nExterior Features\n\n\nThe front profile of both cars look similar as they share the same headlamp, grille, bumper, and bonnet design. The same characteristics continue down the sides as well, where a prominent line goes above both the car\u2019s door handles, connecting both the front and backlighting units.\n\n\n\n\nOn the hatchback, the roofline is way longer to meet the roof spoiler that is placed just above the boot lid with a steep rear window. It also has its own tail light and rear bumper design.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHonda City Sedan\n\n\nHonda City Hatchback\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHalogen projector headlamps\n\n\nLED projector headlamps\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLED daytime running lights\n\n\nDaytime running lights\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLED rear combination lights\n\n\nLED rear tail lamps\n\n\n\n\n\n\n16-inch alloy wheels with 185/60 profile tires\n\n\n15-inch alloy wheels\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPower adjustable and folding side mirrors with turn signals\n\n\nPower adjustable and folding side mirrors with turn signals\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShark fin antenna\n\n\nShark fin antenna\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBody-color door handles\n\n\nBody-color door handles\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKeyless entry\n\n\nKeyless entry\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Honda City Sedan and Honda City Hatchback mostly have the same features but one obvious difference that can be seen in these cars is the size of the alloy wheels.\u00a0\n\n\nThere are huge advantages to having alloy wheels aside from it being very stylish. Large alloy wheels, as seen on the Honda City Sedan, fills in the wheel arches better and are more in proportion with the rest of the exterior body. They have more road contact, wider thread, and stiffer sidewalls, which directly contribute to better cornering and handling.\u00a0\n\n\nInterior Features\n\n\n\n\nJust like the exterior, the interior features of the Honda City Hatchback are pretty similar to its Sedan sibling. The dashboard is fitted with an eight-inch touchscreen \u2018Advanced Touch\u2019 head unit and large air vents, while on the center stack, there are controls for the air-conditioning system, a power outlet, USB ports, and a mini storage unit.

You can get literally everything that is in a four-door sedan plus so much more in an SUV, so it does not come as a surprise why more people have chosen to buy an SUV. Nearly all automotive brands have an SUV (or more) in its list of cars, so it does take something extra special for a certain car to stand out. And thanks to the new facelift that the \nHonda HR-V\n received, this car has everything it needs to be in the SUV spotlight, from it\u2019s sporty new looks to its extra safety features.\n\n\n\n\nHere are some of the things that we absolutely loved about the Honda HR-V.\n\n\nA car Built for Everyone\n\n\nWhen we say that the HR-V is for everyone, we totally mean it! This SUV is manufactured in different variants to suit the different needs of consumers and their driving style. If you are looking for a fuss-free compact SUV for grocery runs and to pick up the kids from school, the Honda HR-V is perfect for you. It comes with a 1.8-litre petrol engine and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). It also comes equipped with paddle shift, smart entry with push start button and cruise control.\n\n\n\n\nLooking for something that is good to the earth as well as has fuel efficiency? Then the new facelifted variant Honda HR-V Hybrid is just the one for you. Being the very first hybrid compact SUV in Malaysia, this car runs on the Sport Hybrid i-DCD system that ensures optimum fuel efficiency and an exhilarating performance. The HR-V Hybrid is powered by a high-power lithium ion battery and a 1.5-litre DOHC i-VTEC engine with direct injection, which, when put together, is the equivalent of a vehicle with a 2.0-litre engine. On the inside, the HR-V Hybrid features a cutting-edge Shift By Wire gearstick designed specifically for Honda Hybrid vehicles and also a 3D Illuminated Meter Cluster that shows your car\u2019s energy flow and consumption.\n\n\nIf you want a car that stands out just like your personality, you should look out for the Honda HR-V RS. This car has all the normal HR-V features but with some extra flair like full leather upholstery with ivory finishing, an eight-way driver power seat (also available in the V variant), stylish anti-slip sport pedal and on the outside, sport type front grille and mesh type front fog garnish.\n\n\nSexy Exterior\n\n\nWith the new facelift, like we said, there is no doubt that the \nHonda\n HR-V is one sexy, sporty SUV. The RS variant features a styling redesign that focuses more on its sporty appeal with chrome front grille, more angular auto LED headlights complete with LED daytime running lights that gives it a meaner front end. The side and the roof and the roofline are noticeably curvier too. These beautiful changes make the HR-V a sportier, sedan-like, rather than a boxy-SUV. Also, another thing that caught our eye is the 18-inch dual tone alloy wheel which gives it the extra sexiness.\n\n\nSpacious Interior\n\n\nA SUV is just a sedan if it\u2019s not for its ample space, and the Honda HR-V is the SUV that is known for its extremely spacious cabin. This car literally has all the space you need in terms of legroom and boot-space. When you fold the rear-seats up, you can get 437L of spacious boot-space, and if the seats are folded away, the number goes up to 1,032L.\n\n\n\n\nAlthough the HR-V Hybrid variant (404 litres with seats up, 991 litres with them down) takes up a little bit more space, it is still more spacious compared to other compact SUVs in the segment.\n\n\nAdvanced Safety Features\n\n\nThe Honda HR-V comes with the advanced safety features you can expect from a classy SUV: \nsix airbags, multi-angle rear-view camera, Electric Parking Brake, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) feature and your usual Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) and the Auto Brake Hold (ABH) function.\n\n\n\n\nOn the V and RS variants, the Honda HR-V also features LaneWatch system that helps you reduce blind spots on the passenger side so that you can change lanes safely.\n \nAny time you flick your signals, the cameras will turn on at the multi-entertainment display, so that you know when\u2019s the perfect time for you to switch lanes.\n\n\nIn conclusion, if you are looking for a SUV, the Honda HR-V should totally be in your list of choices due to the above reasons. For a more affordable option, you can check out used HR-Vs on \nCarsome\n.

Although this car is not the same with its predecessors in many ways (hint: sportier outlook), we can still see some of the classic HR-V features sprinkled here and there. It is also revealed to be a hybrid only variant.\n\n\nImage Source : \nHonda.co.jp\n\n\nMoving on to the exterior styling of this car \u2013 Marketed in Japan as Vezel, the Honda HR-V 2021 is very much different from the classic HR-V, as it is more coupelike with a forward leaning rear hatch. It also looks wider and more angular thanks to the tall, wide headlights and the more vertical nose and with the numerous diagonal lines gone, this car looks way cleaner compared to the classic. You won\u2019t be able to see the \u201cSolid Wing Face\u201d slatted grille as the slats appear to blend into the body work to \u201cenhance the sense of unity with the body\u201d.\n\n\nImage Source : \nHonda.co.jp\n\n\nInside, the design is based on the HMI (Human Machine Interface) concept. The meter and audio panel are laid out in a way that while you drive, you can also still enjoy the view. The switches are also arranged in a position that can be reached naturally without moving too much, enabling a smooth drive without interruption to the line of sight and flow of movement. Comfort is taken to a whole new level with the latest HR-V. Passengers are given a clear view of everything, inside and out and with the Panorama Roof with Natural Light (non-opening) and rear air conditioning vents, you will feel as if the inside and outside of the car are one.\n\n\nImage Source : \nHonda.co.jp\n\n\nPulling from the old HR-V again, the back seat still has the versatile split fold-down and flip-up functions. Exact dimensions for the interior and exterior have not been provided, though, so we\u2019re not sure how much larger the new HR-V is.\n\n\nThis 2021 HR-V will be powered by the same 1.5 litre DOHC i-VTEC petrol engine and CVT as its previous models although the exact numbers are yet to be released. It will also feature the e:HEV hybrid powertrain which uses an electric motor to do most of the driving and the petrol engine to charge the battery.\n\n\nImage Source : \nHonda.co.jp\n\n\nIn Japan, where it is said to be released in April, this car will feature Honda Sensing suite of safety features. Some of the features that have been improved in terms of performance includes autonomous emergency braking, lane keeping assist and traffic sign recognition. There\u2019s no exact date on when we would be able to see this latest HR-V in Malaysia, but the excitement of seeing this car soon is enough to keep us going.\u00a0\n\n\nHybrid Cars Vs Petrol Cars\n\n\nIn the past, petrol was our only option to fuel up our cars, but now, we have more choices. You can now purchase cars that are powered by electricity or vehicles that use both electricity and traditional fuel like petrol, also known as hybrid cars. In this article, we will be making a comparison of the Honda HR-V which is available in both variants \u2013 Normal petrol-powered car and a Hybrid car.\n\n\n\n\nBut before that, do you know that no type is better than the other as each of this type has its own disadvantages and advantages. Here are just a few.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdvantages\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDisadvantages\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHybrid Cars\n\n\nThe main advantage of driving hybrid cars is that they are more environmentally friendly. As these cars combine fuel with electric, they have lower emissions than regular petrol cars do. Also, they tend to have better gas mileage too. Offering the power of a regular engine, but more energy efficient, hybrids are great for the environment. Not only that, but you can also save on the cost of fuel.\n\n\nWhile hybrid cars have their advantages, these cars have a couple of disadvantages too. Firstly, as hybrid cars are smaller and more lightweight, they do not tend to handle as well as regular petrol cars do. Hybrids are also more costly to buy and maintain than regular cars are and as hybrids are built to be more efficient and economical, they are not as fast as regular cars.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPetrol Cars\n\n\nPetrol vehicles are the most popular cars on the market. They\u2019ve been around the longest and offer many benefits over all the other type of cars. The main advantage of petrol cars is that they are generally cheaper to purchase and maintain and also tend to handle better and are extremely efficient when it comes to speed.\n\n\nPetrol is quite expensive, so fueling a patrol car is usually more expensive. The main disadvantage, however, of petrol cars is that they are not particularly energy efficient, and they are not particularly good for the environment either.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHonda HR-V VS Honda HR-V Hybrid\n\n\nEngine and Performance\n\n\nHonda HR-V\n \u2013 This car is perfect if you are looking for a fuss-free compact SUV for grocery runs and to pick up the kids from school.

In fact, the new A-Class showcases Mercedes\u2019 new design language called \u2018Sensual Purity\u2019 which follows on seen recently in the 2019 CLS.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSportiness, dynamism and emotion is what the brand is calling the exterior \u2013 progressive front design with a low bonnet, flat LED headlamps with chrome elements and torch-like daytime driving lamps and that diamond radiator grille that highlighted the previous generation\u2019s design.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n360-look at 2019 A-Class Edition 1\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAerodynamics\n\n\n\n\nAt the rear, the tail lamps provide a wider look with slimmer looking designs to bring home the new hatchback look and feel. Together with the new streamlined shape, aerodynamics has been improved as well. Cd figure is now from 0.25, thanks to a list of aerodynamic improvements including aero lip in the bonnet\u2019s joint to the front apron, improved shape of the rear exhaust silencer and heat shield, as well as front and rear wheel spoilers optimised to achieve low airflow losses around the wheels. In addition, the wheel arches are insulated from the engine compartment.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nInterior\n\n\n\n\nThe interior has been modernised and revolutionised with digital displays and luxury. The wide visual and spaciousness of the dashboard is thanks to the continuity of the wing shaped design that is from the front door, across the dashboard to the other door. The clean look of the free standing widescreen display\u2019s are also a treat, one that will incorporate the combination of 7 or 10.25-inch displays. Other completely new design elements to note are the turbine inspired air vents, new steering wheel, door handles, door-pulls, and touchpad. Oh and check out the lighting accents above!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nEngines\n\n\nMercedes-Benz new M282 engine.\n\n\nThree engine variants of the A-Class will be available at launch, including two new petrol engines of a 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder outputting 163 hp on the A200, a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder with 224 hp on the A250 and a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel delivering 116 hp on the A180d. All will be mated to a 7G-DCT dual clutch transmission. It is good to note that the new 1.4-litre unit is the first four-cylinder Mercedes engine to feature cylinder shutoff where the intake and exhaust valves of the second and third cylinder are closed between 1,250 and 3,800 rpm. The remaining cylinders then operate under higher loads.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nMercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX)\n\n\n\n\nMBUX allows for the best natural language you could have with a car. Simply say \u2018Hey Mercedes\u2019, and its artificial intelligence system will be able to respond to you. It is a much personalised experience as the multimedia system MBUX creates a truly emotional connection between the vehicle, driver and passengers. As the system is a learning one, MBUX is the beginning of perfecting a virtual assistant for every Mercedes-Benz.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe user experience is now operated by touchscreen, touchpad (optional) on the centre console and touch control buttons on the steering wheel. In Fullscreen Mode, the entire area of instrument cluster is used for displaying Assistance, Journey or Navigation. The Mercedes me app also holds online content such as current gas station prices or availability of parking spaces in multi-storey car parks.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIntelligent Drive\n\n\n\n\nThe A-Class is now able to drive semi-autonomously in certain driving situations with a taste of the very latest driving assistance systems similar to that from the brand\u2019s flagship S-Class. To execute this, it has improved camera and radar systems allowing it to see up to 500 metres ahead of traffic.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nActive Distance Assist DISTRONIC\n supports the driver in route-specific situations, and predictively adjusts the speed when approaching bends, junctions or roundabouts. This paired with Active Steering Assist is able to support the driver in normal driving by accessing throttle and brake with steering up to 130 km/h. While the assumptions that Active Steering Assist can only work following road lines and markings, it is rather the opposite. The system can stay active even if lane markings are unclear.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTo add on, there is \nActive Emergency Stop Assist\n. Active Emergency Stop Assist brakes the vehicle in its lane to a standstill if the system detects no driver reaction while driving with Active Steering Assist turned on. When there is no steering wheel movement over a predefined period, the system informs the driver via visual and audible prompt to place the hands on the steering wheel.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nActive Lane Change Assist\n support steering into the neighbouring lane. When the driver activates the indicator, the lane change to the left or right is only supported within ten seconds if the sensor system does not recognise any vehicles in the safety area. Depending on a range of operation criteria\u2019s, Active Lane Change Assist works between 80 to 180 km/h.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDriving Assistance Systems\n\n\n\n\nThe latest driving assistance system in the A-Class includes \nActive Speed Limit Assist\n to detect speed sign limits detected by the camera apart from adjusting to speeds stored in the navigation system.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nMap Based Speed Adaption\n\n\n\n\nIf Active Distance-Assist DISTRONIC of the Driving Assistance Package is turned on, the speed will be adapted automatically to route events in the navigation ahead such as curves, T-crossings, roundabouts or toll booths and turns.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBlind Spot Assist with warning function\n is now installed to warn about vehicles and bicycles moving past when opening the doors. When the vehicle is at a standstill, it also issues a visual warning in the exterior mirror that a vehicle is driving past in the critical area. The object driving past must be moving at more than 7 km/h.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nEvasive Steering Assist\n helps the driver to avoid a pedestrian detected within a speed range of 20 to 70 km/h. Should the driver initiate the manoeuvre, the system provides assistance by calculating steering torque to support the movement and avoid the pedestrian.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nGlobal Premiere Presentation\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImages and videos are copyright of Daimler and Mercedes-Benz.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car through Carsome today!

At first glance,\u00a0 the car has gone through a huge make-over with a sleeker and sportier look compared to its predecessor. The 2022 Honda HR-V currently offers two variants, a hybrid, and a turbocharged petrol engine.\u00a0\n\n\nThe \nHonda HR-V\n, known as the Vezel in Japan and China debuts as the third generation in Malaysia. The initials for HR-V are short for Hi-rider Revolutionary vehicle according to Honda.\n\n\nLet\u2019s begin with the exterior of the brand new HR-V. The 2022 model has ditched its sporty, rounded look and opted for a clean, boxy, well-defined outline. Honda claims they gave the new HR-V a new body language dubbed \u201cAmped Up Design\u201d as seen with the red pulse that stands out on the front bumper beneath the new grille design. The iconic coupe-like design which debuted in the second generation is retained in this generation along with its hidden rear door handles. It also looks taller and boxier, with a wider wheel arch to boot.\u00a0\n\n\nMoving on to the front, the HR-V has ditched its wing patterned grille and opted for a modern, woven pattern-like grille. In fact, the new HR-V grille is the biggest compared to Honda\u2019s outgoing models at the moment. Its front lights are now more pronounced and sleeker in design. Onto the rear, Honda has updated the design with a full LED lightbar, a huge step up from its predecessor. To give the HR-V its sleek, coupe-like appearance, Honda has designed the rear hatch to be slanted in contrast to the 2021 model which had just a plain flat boot lid.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More:\n \nSedan Vs SUV\n\n\nThe new HR-V\u2019s interior seems to have a straightforward and passenger-oriented design compared to its 2021 model. In the previous design, the leather upholstery is more prominent towards the driver seat, with a chunk of leather protruding out from the dashboard. In addition, the buttons and air vents are all designed to be easily accessible to the driver, but not for passengers. The panoramic, removable sunroof is still retained from the 2021 model.\n\n\n\n\nIn this new model, Honda has opted for a simpler design, with passenger comfort in mind. Gone are the days of scattered buttons on the dashboard as the 2022 model decides to keep everything in simple and minimalistic in black, unlike the second-gen HR-V which has a black-on-red tone interior.\u00a0\n\n\nThe eight-inch infotainment system which was previously built into the dashboard, slanted towards the driver is now installed at a higher position for a better view of passengers. This new HR-V also has its first air diffusion system that is only located on the side air-con vents for cooling.\n\n\nMoving onto the rear seats, just like the 2021 model, the new HR-V retains its versatile fold-down seats to maximize boot space. Dimensions-wise, the 2022 HR-V sits a bit taller and wider compared to the 2021 model by 20mm in height, length, and width. The new model has also gained some weight, sitting at 1403kgs in contrast with its 2021 model weighing in at 1257kgs.\n\n\nImage Source: Paul Tan Automotive News\n\n\nThe engine options for the 2022 model include a 1.5L turbocharged, 1.5L naturally aspirated, and on the range-topping model, a 1.5L hybrid engine while the 2021 model was only available with a naturally aspirated unit. For the new 1.5L turbocharged petrol engine, it has gained more power, topping at 180PS and 240Nm while the 2021 model fairs at 152PS and 190Nm.\u00a0\n\n\nTransmission-wise, the 2022 model only comes with CVT and eCVT transmission while the 2021 model gets a better choice, with a DCT and a seven-speed transmission to send power to the front wheels.\u00a0\n\n\nHybrid Cars Vs Petrol Cars\n\n\nIn the past, petrol was our only option to fuel up our cars, but now, we have more choices. You can now purchase cars that are powered by electricity or vehicles that use both electricity and traditional fuel like petrol, also known as hybrid cars. In this article, we will be making a comparison of the Honda HR-V which is available in both variants \u2013 Normal petrol-powered car and a Hybrid car.\n\n\n\n\nBut before that, do you know that no type is better than the other as each of this type has its own disadvantages and advantages. Here are just a few.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdvantages\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDisadvantages\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHybrid Cars\n\n\nThe main advantage of driving hybrid cars is that they are more environmentally friendly. As these cars combine fuel with electric, they have lower emissions than regular petrol cars do. Also, they tend to have better gas mileage too. Offering the power of a regular engine, but more energy efficient, hybrids are great for the environment. Not only that, but you can also save on the cost of fuel.\n\n\nFirstly, as hybrid cars are smaller and more lightweight, they do not tend to handle as well as regular petrol cars do. Hybrids are also more costly to buy and maintain than regular cars are and as hybrids are built to be more efficient and economical, they are not as fast as regular cars.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPetrol Cars\n\n\nPetrol vehicles are the most popular cars on the market. They\u2019ve been around the longest and offer many benefits over all the other types of cars. The main advantage of petrol cars is that they are generally cheaper to purchase and maintain, tend to handle better, and are extremely efficient regarding speed.\n\n\nPetrol is quite expensive, so fueling a patrol car is usually more expensive. The main disadvantage, however, of petrol cars is that they are not particularly energy efficient, and they are not particularly good for the environment either.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHonda HR-V VS Honda HR-V Hybrid\n\n\nEngine and Performance\n\n\nHonda HR-V Naturally Aspirated\n\n\nThis compact SUV is the perfect choice for grocery runs and work commutes. It comes with a 1.5L Naturally Aspirated, four-cylinder, 16 valve DOHC i-VTEC engine \u2013 offering 121 PS at 6600 RPM and 145 Nm of torque spinning at 4300 RPM. All this power is put through a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) sending power to the front wheels. It also comes with auto headlights, a smart entry with a push-to-start button and cruise control.\n\n\nHonda HR-V Turbo\n\n\nFor those performance chasers, the 1.5L turbocharged variant comes in two models. One as petrol and a PHEV hybrid turbo model. The petrol variant can be had with a four-cylinder, 16 valve DOHC VTEC Turbo engine \u2013 Offering 181 PS at 6000 RPM and 240 Nm of torque at 4500 RPM. Just like the Naturally Aspirated variant, it sends power through the front wheels with a CVT and has similar features to the naturally aspirated model but with Paddle Shifters and a Sport Mode button.\n\n\nHonda HR-V Hybrid\n\n\nThe third model can be had with a combined Atkinson Cycle 4 cylinder, 16 valve DOHC i-VTEC engine and an electric motor. For the petrol engine, it cranks out 107 PS at 6400 RPM, and 131 Nm at 5000 RPM; the electric motor cranks out an additional 131 PS at 8000 RPM and 253 Nm at 3500 RPM. It runs on an eCVT transmission sending power to the front wheels just like its two brothers. It also shares similar features with its turbocharged variant with the exception of its missing paddle shifters.\u00a0\n\n\nPrice, Warranty and Colour\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHonda HR-V\n\n\nHonda HR-V Turbo\n\n\nHonda HR-V Hybrid\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice\n\n\nRM114,800\n\n\nRM134,800\n\n\nRM140,800\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWarranty\n\n\n5 Years Warranty (with Unlimited Mileage)\n\n\n5 Years Warranty (with Unlimited Mileage)\n\n\n5 Years Warranty (with Unlimited Mileage)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nColours\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLunar Silver Metalic\n\n\nPlatinum White Pearl\n\n\nMetroroid Gray Metalic\n\n\nRuse Black Metalic\n\n\nIgnite Red Metalic\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLunar Silver Metalic\n\n\nPlatinum White Pearl\n\n\nMetroroid Gray Metalic\n\n\nRuse Black Metalic\n\n\nIgnite Red Metalic\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLunar Silver Metalic\n\n\nPlatinum White Pearl\n\n\nMetroroid Gray Metalic\n\n\nRuse Black Metalic\n\n\nIgnite Red Metalic\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInterior and Exterior\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHonda HR-V\n\n\nHonda HR-V Turbo\n\n\nHonda HR-V Hybrid\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExterior\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNon-painted black front/rear lower bumpers and side sill\n\n\nBody-coloured side mirror cover\n\n\nBody-coloured outer door handle\n\n\nLED headlights\n\n\nLED Lightbar tail lamps\n\n\nDaytime running lights\n\n\nShark fin antenna\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNon-painted black front/rear lower bumpers and side sill\n\n\nBody-coloured side mirror cover\n\n\nBody-coloured outer door handle\n\n\nLED headlights\n\n\nLED Lightbar tail lamps\n\n\nDaytime running lights\n\n\nShark fin antenna\n\n\nLED Foglamps\n\n\nTailpipe chrome finisher\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNon-painted black front/rear lower bumpers and side sill\n\n\nBody-coloured side mirror cover\n\n\nBody-coloured outer door handle\n\n\nLED headlights\n\n\nLED Lightbar tail lamps\n\n\nDaytime running lights\n\n\nShark fin antenna\n\n\nLED Foglamps\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInterior\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEight-inch infotainment system\n\n\nSmart entry/push button start\n\n\nSteering wheel audio controls\n\n\nUrethane, three-spoke Steering Wheel\n\n\nAuto air-conditioning\n\n\nCruise control\n\n\nUSB and hands-free telephone connectivity\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEight-inch infotainment system\n\n\nSmart entry/push button start\n\n\nSteering wheel audio controls\n\n\nLeather, three-spoke steering wheel\n\n\nPaddle shift\n\n\nAuto air-conditioning\n\n\nCruise control\n\n\nUSB and hands-free telephone connectivity\n\n\nSport Mode button\n\n\nPower Seats\n\n\nRear USB Charger\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEight-inch infotainment system\n\n\nSmart entry/push button start\n\n\nSteering wheel audio controls\n\n\nLeather, three-spoke steering wheel\n\n\nAuto air-conditioning\n\n\nCruise control\n\n\nUSB and hands-free telephone connectivity\n\n\nSport Mode Button\n\n\nPower Seats\n\n\nRear USB Charger\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSafety\n\n\nElectric Parking Brake\n\n\nThe 2022 Honda HR-V still retains all the safety systems from its predecessor with the advanced safety features you can expect from a classy SUV: six airbags (four airbags in the naturally aspirated variant), multi-angle rear-view camera, Electric Parking Brake, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) feature and your usual Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) and the Auto Brake Hold (ABH) function.\n\n\nHonda Lane Watch Camera\n\n\nHonda\u2019s Lane Sensing feature also made a return to the 2022 model but is only available for the turbo and hybrid variants. LaneWatch system that helps you reduce blind spots on the passenger side so that you can change lanes safely. Any time you flick your signals, the cameras will turn on at the multi-entertainment display, so that you know when is the perfect time for you to switch lanes.\n\n\nMulti-angle rearview camera\n\n\nBased on the comparison here, all 3 variants are almost identical in specification and looks. The difference between the naturally aspirated, turbo, and hybrid variants all offer something for everyone. Whether you are looking for a daily drive, performance, or fuel efficiency, it all boils down to deciding which one is the best. For performance and fuel efficiency aficionados, try opting for the turbo or hybrid model. But, if you\u2019re looking for something that is reliable and gets the job done for cheap, why not get the naturally aspirated one instead?\u00a0\n\n\nBuy or Sell Your Honda HR-V on CARSOME Today\n\n\nLooking to sell your old HR-V to us?

Why Is This So Common?", "By\n \nBrian Wong", "18/05/2023", "\n\n\n\n\n", "Life Imitates Nature\u00a0\n\n\nIt\u2019s a common sighting in parking lots and car meets. From Honda Jazz converted to look like a Honda Fit or a Proton Wira converted to look like a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 3. All of these conversions often look the part without having the performance, and in a way, are very much like a peacock\u2019s bright, flamboyant tail.\n\n\nThe peacock\u2019s large, fan-like flamboyant tail is often in bright, attractive colors and ornately decorated patterns. These are just one of the few evolutionary traits of animals that adapt to attract a potential mate.\n\n\nLaws of the jungle dictate the survival of the fittest but certain species reproduce by having desirable traits such as thick manes, color, and feather patterns. The caveat of such a feature is these tail feathers serve no other purpose other than looks.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat does this have to do with cars? Car up-badging resembles a peacock flourishing its feathers \u2013 all form but no function. Look no further than your local Honda Jazz to Honda Fit conversion, Proton Wira to Mitsubishi Lancers, BMW 318is to an M3, and the list goes on. There is a huge scene where car owners convert their cars to resemble another simply for looks.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s important to note that the \nJabatan Pengangkutan Jalanraya\n (JPJ) strictly prohibits this. According to JPJ, the modification of a vehicle with body parts/body kit installation changes the vehicle\u2019s identity is illegal, and can be fined.\u00a0\n\n\nYes, up-badging your Proton Wira to become a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 3 and similarly can get you fined\n\n\nYet the million-dollar question still remains \u2013 Why are there still so many people converting their Proton Wiras and other cars out there even if it\u2019s against the law? There is an underlying complex issue that is driving this among Malaysians.\u00a0\n\n\nSocial & Country Infrastructure\u00a0\n\n\nShowing up in a presumably expensive vehicle commandeers a better \nsocial image\n among your family and peers. The aphorism \u2013 fake it till you make it holds true and dear; even in vehicles. A simple badge with the right modifications can fool the untrained eye.\u00a0\n\n\nEver since our automotive industry experienced rapid growth in the 70s, the possession of a private vehicle is seen as a status symbol desired by many. Furthermore, in a car-centric country like Malaysia, \nfresh graduates\n would be pressured to buy a car upon \nentering the workforce\n just to commute to work. Having a car with a higher specification or brand can signal their \nsocial status\n among their peers.\n\n\nAnother reason why converted cars are revered is that imported vehicles have high import duties imposed on them. By up-badging or converting a locally-produced car, Malaysians can get a car that looks and feels like an imported car, but at a fraction of the cost. Even though cars are expensive in Malaysia, this doesn\u2019t stop people from nurturing a thriving car culture here that revolves around modifying cars.\u00a0\n\n\nNot all red-badged Hondas are Type-Rs by the way.\n\n\nThe \nHonda Jazz\n is another perfect candidate in this scenario. In Japan and some parts of the world, this five-door hatchback is called the Honda Fit. However, Malaysian owners are fond of swapping or up-badging the Jazz to its Japanese counterpart.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhile there is nothing wrong (ethics-wise) with doing so, what\u2019s wrong with owning a Honda Jazz? Is it that shameful to own something that is sold in Malaysia? In a developing country like Malaysia, the possession of luxurious goods is seen as a symbol of success and wealth; buying local goods doesn\u2019t get all the glam and glory of an imported one. This is why local and Complete Knockdown Units (CKD) cars are seen as \u201clow-class\u201d according to some people.\u00a0\n\n\nUnderstandably, the concept of wealth remains subjective. However, that doesn\u2019t stop people from masquerading themselves. Personally, I think it will be cooler to see someone drive and own a mint-condition Proton Wira and a Honda Jazz than a highly modified one.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nThe History of Proton\n\n\nDesperation Breeds Innovation\n\n\nIt\u2019s no secret that Proton and Mitsubishi car parts \ncan be interchanged\n with each other. Though in older Proton vehicle owners\u2019 defense, Proton has ceased \nOEM support\n for their older models. This is why the Proton Wira still retains the number one spot for the \nmost stolen car\n in Malaysia for years. Lack of spare parts in the market forces owners to outsource from Japan and other countries.\u00a0\n\n\nThere is a saying that goes \u2013 desperation breeds innovation. Unintentionally, grafting Mitsubishi Lancer Evo parts on a Proton Wira has led to a thriving and innovative community in Malaysian car culture. Some have managed to convert the Proton Wira to all-wheel drive (AWD) and shorten the wheelbase to resemble the real deal.\u00a0\n\n\nAt the end of the day, we don\u2019t have the right to say how one should dress up their vehicle. Taste is subjective after all. However, should you wish to swap in parts or badges from another make and model, do consult local laws first before doing so.\u00a0\n\n\nThis article was originally written by Wapcar \u2013 \nLess than RM 3k to convert from a Proton Inspira, here\u2019s how to tell a fake Evo X\n\n\n*Disclaimer: CARSOME does not condone any illegal modifications on your vehicle.

With such a wide range of selections, you\u2019ll eventually get a mix-mash of different cultures merged into one. One such example can be found among \nHonda\n enthusiasts. You may have heard people calling the tenth-generation Honda Civic sedan, the Honda \nketam\n. Other models may range from Honda dolphin, Honda \nmayat,\n and Honda \njerung\n. The new generation of Honda enthusiasts must be wondering \u2013 how and where do these cars get their nicknames from?\u00a0\n\n\nHonda Civic EG6/ Honda Dolphin\n\n\nMalaysia has been blessed with an abundance of seafood choices in our cuisines. Perhaps being spoiled by so many selections is why we colloquially name some of our cars based on fishes. The Honda Dolphin got its name from the Honda Civic EG hatchback. It is a three-door economy hatchback from the fifth-generation Civic produced from 1991 to 1995. The name Honda dolphin, came about due to a local colloquial nickname supposedly the silhouette and the sloping nose design of the car resembles the head of a dolphin. \n\n\nThis hatchback stands out as a fan favorite not just for its powerful and high-revving, naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, but also for its sleek looks. The Honda Dolphin served as a gateway for a platform offering affordable horsepower with excellent handling capabilities on the road and track. Aftermarket options are endless ranging from \nengine swaps\n to wide-body kits to gander from.\u00a0\n\n\nIts portrayal in Initial D, Fast and Furious, and the Kanjozoku racing gangs in Japan caused demand to soar through the roof. Mint, factory-conditioned Honda Dolphins are worth a small fortune to hardcore Honda enthusiasts in Malaysia because of this.\u00a0\n\n\nHonda Civic EF/ Honda \nMayat\n \n\n\nMalaysia is not strange to superstitions, even in cars. Some communities can be drastic in their measures. From strongly against having the number four plastered anywhere on their car, to avoiding buying certain vehicle segments because it resembles something \ninauspicious\n. Perhaps belief is the biggest reason why \nstation wagons\n aren\u2019t popular here due to their association with funeral hearses. But nevertheless, the fourth-generation Honda Civic EF hatchback is commonly referred to as the Honda \nmayat\n in Malaysia. The term \u201c\nMayat\n\u201d refers to a corpse in Bahasa Malaysia.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe Honda Mayat got its name due to its angular and boxy design, which some say resembles a coffin on four wheels. This fourth-generation Civic was produced from 1988 to 1991 and had a distinct square-shaped design commonly found on Japanese bubble economy-era cars.\u00a0\n\n\nHonda Accord SV4/ Honda \nJerung\n\n\nDid you know we have sharks in tropical Malaysian waters and on the streets? No, not loan sharks, but the seventh-generation Honda Accord. You might see them as just another cheap old Honda sedan on the road. This seventh-generation Accord was the big brother of the Civic and was produced from 2002 to 2008 locally in Malaysia.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe name, Honda \njerung\n comes from the shark in Bahasa Malaysia, and this sedan got its nickname due to its streamlined body design. Under the hood can be had with two power plants \u2013 a 2.0L and a 2.2L naturally aspirated, four-cylinder engine that is famous for its high revving capabilities in stock form. However, the caveat of the \njerung\n\u2019s stock engine is a lack of spare parts available which is why owners perform engine swaps to the more famous K and B-series engines.\u00a0\n\n\nAlthough not as popular as their coffin and crustacean cousins, the Honda \njerung\n does provide an edge in motorsports and it is still considered to be a desirable \nmodern classic\n today.\u00a0\n\n\nHonda Civic FC/ Honda \nKetam\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Ketam Civic is the latest nickname bestowed to the tenth generation of the \nHonda Civic\n. Unlike the two previous predecessors in which nicknames were only given to the hatchback models, the nickname stuck with the sedan offering in Malaysia. Oddly enough, the Civic gets its crustacean title due to its taillights resembling\u2026 prawns? It is unknown why Honda \nketam\n struck on, perhaps with \nketam\n sounding much better to pronounce. Other sources say the silhouette of the sedan looks like the exoskeleton of a crab and the taillights resemble a pair of crab claws.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIt should be called Honda \nudang\n. Why do people call it Honda \nketam\n instead?\u00a0\n\n\nNevertheless, the \nHonda \nketam\n isn\u2019t just famous for its merits. The tenth generation is the first Civic in its line to bear a \nturbocharged engine\n from the factory. Furthermore, unlike its predecessors, Honda has revamped their brand image into a semi-luxury brand. Gone were the days when their cars were viewed as a cheap economy car brand trying to enter Formula 1. The crab is the go-to choice if you can\u2019t afford a Mercedes C-Class or a BMW 3-series.\u00a0\n\n\nEven after decades since the Civic dolphin, mayat and, jerung\u2019s discontinuation, these cars still turn heads on the streets and parking lots. Their value is also increasing due to demand as these old cars are overengineered for their time plus it reminds owners of the old cars their parents used to drive.\n\n\nWith the 11th generation Civic now released, what would you call it to join the club of 20,000 Hondas Under the Sea?

However, when it comes to understanding both terms, plenty of people, even car enthusiasts can get it mixed up. If horsepower is a standard measurement in all vehicles, what does torque stand for? We\u2019ll explain it below.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is Horsepower\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHorsepower, similarly to torque is a measurement unit used to indicate how much power an engine can output. It is also measured to determine how fast work can be done by an engine. In theory, the higher the \nhorsepower\n, the more power is sent to the wheels and the faster a car can go. However, there are other elements that play a role in your horsepower such as a vehicle\u2019s weight. A heavier car needs more horsepower to move \u2013 if both cars produce the same horsepower, the lighter one out of the two will accelerate the fastest.\u00a0\n\n\nIn addition, your vehicle drivetrain also plays a factor in your horsepower output. Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) cars suffer from an issue called \ndrivetrain loss\n. This can be attributed to the mechanical works of the vehicle. Once an engine dishes out energy, it gets transferred to the flywheel, transmission, driveshaft, and axels; losing a handful amount of power in the process. Generally, manufacturers display an engine\u2019s horsepower on paper and not at the wheels. To measure the true horsepower of your vehicle, it\u2019s best to take it to a dynamometer test at a tuning workshop.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is Torque\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn the other hand, \ntorque\n is a measuring unit used to determine the amount of force applied to rotate an object around an \naxis\n. Commonly displayed in pound-feet (\nlb-ft\n) or newton meters (\nnM\n), torque is everywhere when there is motion. Even something as mundane as twisting a doorknob to opening a jar lid has a small traceable amount of torque. In the \nautomotive industry\n, torque is measured based on the force the driveshaft is subjected to. Torque has a correlation with the number of revolutions per minute (\nRPM\n) it produces. The higher the torque, the higher the RPM.\u00a0\n\n\nTorque is generated from the engine pistons reciprocating up and down on the engine\u2019s crankshaft. This motion causes the crankshaft to rotate or spin rigorously. The power is then sent to the wheels through the engine transmission and the drivetrain. Often, this gets confused with either one being the latter when it comes to measuring the output of a vehicle and commonly confused with horsepower.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBonus: What is Revolutions per Minute (RPM)\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRevolutions per minute (RPM) is an \nangular frequency\n used to measure how an object can rotate around its axis per minute. For example, if an object spins around its axis for one minute, it has 60 RPM as there are sixty seconds in a minute. In car engines, RPM is measured by how fast an engine\u2019s crankshaft rotates in a minute.\n\n\nRPM is usually shown to the driver through the tachometer installed in the car and is increased the longer the driver keeps their foot down on the throttle. Your vehicle\u2019s RPM will accelerate with RPM and then slowly decrease due to your gearbox and transmission upshifting to \nlower gear ratios\n in favor of top speed rather than acceleration.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow Do the Two Differ from Each Other\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA common misconception between these two terms is they are the same. While both are important factors to indicate your vehicle performa\nnce, these terms are closely related but have \nslight differences\n. It\u2019s best to consider both numbers in your car if you\u2019re looking for performance.\n\n\nWhen choosing a car, horsepower is a good reference for how much a car can dish out in acceleration but torque will be showing you how much RPM the car is capable of producing when you hit the throttle. For example, a sports car has high horsepower, yet it struggles to tow a trailer. A truck, on the other hand, has a lower horsepower, but it can tow a trailer due to its high torque engine.\n\n\nIn simple terms, torque is the capacit\ny to do work, horsepower is how quickly a task can be accomplished. That\u2019s why the performance of sports cars is usually measured in horsepower while trucks and other utility vehicles are measured in torque.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhich is More Important if You\u2019re Looking for Power\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGenerally, horsepower should be what you\u2019re looking for in a sports car, and torque should be used for heavy-duty vehicles like trucks. A sports car is akin to a marathon athlete while a truck is akin to a heavy-lifter. A marathon athlete cannot lift 80 kgs, but a heavy-lifter can, and it goes vice versa for running a marathon. If a car has too much torque, the driver would have difficulty controlling the vehicle when they hit the throttle. Similarly, if a car has too much horsepower, it would be too fast and unstable for public roads. Thus, it is \nimportant to \nprioritize one for the other when choosing or modifying your car.\n\n\nIf you do enjoy speed and do not usually carry a lot of passengers, consider this \n2017 BMW 3 30E M SPORT\n for sale at CARSOME!

As we move on into different phases of life, our lifestyle changes accordingly. And as we aspire to build a better life for us and our families, we would be upsizing what we own as well.\n\n\n\n\nHere, we focus on when you should upsize your house and your car \u2013 likely two of the most valuable things you would own. Before taking the upsizing plunge however, you should take stock of your financial situation and decide if you can afford it. If your finances allow it, taking the plunge will lead to a more comfortable, elevated quality of life.\n\n\n1. Your Family is Growing\n\n\nOne of the most common reasons for upsizing is family. The equation is simple: more people equals more space needed. When you welcome children into your life, you will naturally need more space to raise them.\n\n\nThus, it will make more sense to upsize your car as well as your living space. You will need more rooms to accommodate the little ones, as well as cargo space in the car to move them about.\n\n\n2. Your Finances are Improving\n\n\nIf you can afford to upsize your home right now, it might be a good idea to do so. Doing it now will get the stress of moving out of the way, and you can still keep the house even if your finances aren\u2019t looking so good a few years down the line.\n\n\nTo mitigate that, you can rent out your previous home for some steady income. At the same time, you may also want to upsize your car, especially if you\u2019ve been using it for some time. Getting a car upgrade means less headaches down the road while getting a more comfortable ride with the advances in automotive technology.\n\n\n3. Your Priorities Have Changed\n\n\nRight now, working from home is fast becoming the norm. Some people find telecommuting much more preferable to working in the office, preferring to work in their pyjamas while being no less productive.\n\n\nIf you are one of them, you might want to consider adding an extra room to your house so you can work more effectively. \nAccording to Christena Nippert-Eng\n, a sociologist and professor at Indiana University, Bloomington, dividing work and life between different areas of the house is a good strategy to adopt to reduce work stress.\n\n\nAt the same time, you might want to reconsider the use of your car. If you\u2019re upsizing your home, this might be a good time to consider \u2018resizing\u2019 your car. You may consider switching to a smaller runabout for errands close to home, or even get rid of the car altogether.\n\n\nUpsizing with Carsome & Mah Sing: Sell Your Car & Get RM5,000 Off a Mah Sing Property\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking to upsize and sell your old car, Carsome makes the process of selling hassle-free, and you can get paid in one hour*.

There are various answers to this, however all of them are still bound by the fact that depreciation still takes place year on year.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Whether you purchased a new or used vehicle, depreciation has taken place the moment it left the showroom. The only difference between the two, is that the used vehicle, depending on its age, brand and popularity has probably depreciated at least 10 to 55 per cent of its original price within year one to five. Because of this, there has been a debate about selling your vehicle and how it has depreciated in value significantly after five years.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    So the question is: when should you sell? Well, some say that it is better to change your car every three to five years; while others say that the longer the vehicle is used, the more value you gain when evaluating it from a financial standpoint. However, the latter only applies should you decide to keep the vehicle for over 10 years (which then also depends on maintenance, wear and tear costs).\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit:\n\u00a0Trinn Suwannapha / World Bank Photo Collection\n\n\n\n\n\n    This is where most say that the five-year period is generally a good indication to sell your vehicle. Here in Malaysia, it is the general benchmark of the used car market to evaluate car prices as the following sixth year depreciation tends to level off.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nEnsure Your Vehicle Is Maintained Regularly\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: Wikiphoto\n\n\n\n\n\n    \u2026and when required.

Also remember that keeping your car interior clean helps to upkeep the original look over time. Apart from vacuuming corners and seats, you could also go the extra mile to protect your interior surfaces from fading and cracking with car care products. As for the exterior, the elements of sun, rain and bird droppings will affect the coat. Owners that are truly meticulous about their paintwork ensures that they wash their cars with various cloths, keep note about the car body temperatures and will never send their vehicles to the five-minute corner car wash.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nMileage\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nvia GIPHY\n\n\n\n\n\n    This is rather contradictory. How is it possible to maximise the value of your car when mileage is a factor and you have to drive it? It is all a matter about care and fair use. The truth is, a car needs to be moved, mechanical parts need to work in order for things to keep at its best. So on average, a good average mileage is 15,000 to 20,000 km per year travelled.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat can you do?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Maximising the value of your car requires some care for the details. The more attentive you are to your car, the higher the chance you will be able to fetch a higher price when you sell. Even if you do not intend to sell, taking care of your car means that it will eventually take care of you. After all, wouldn\u2019t you prefer to purchase a used vehicle that has been well taken care of by its previous owner?\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nShould you sell your car privately or through us?

That, my friends, is what forced induction does to you. What started off as a novelty for performance seekers to an everyday appliance for fuel efficiency and economy.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat is a Turbocharger?\n\n\nPrior to the invention of turbochargers, superchargers were invented first to accommodate more power to aircraft engines at higher altitudes. Early patents for turbochargers have also been found to be used in steam engines. Turbochargers eventually worked their way into land transportation by use in cargo trucks and later, into passenger-oriented vehicles and motorsports. Turbochargers are a highly sought-after upgrade by automotive and motoring enthusiasts alike.\u00a0\n\n\nToday, turbochargers are a main staple among automotive manufacturers. Be it for performance cars or simply for improving gas mileage. Turbochargers are also used to provide extra power for smaller engines and displacement for more economical purposes. Motoring enthusiasts even go to the lengths to retrofit a turbocharger system to a naturally aspirated engine for the thrill of performance and chasing horsepower.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nSquealing Brakes Are a Cry for Help. Bring It to a Stop before It\u2019s Too Late!\n\n\nHow Does A Turbocharger Work?\n\n\nIn the automotive industry, a \nturbocharger\n, or turbo for short, is a \nforced induction\n device. A snail shell-like turbine forces compressed air into the engine via the flow of exhaust gasses, through an intercooler, then introduces cold, oxygenated air into the engine, hence the term forced induction. Contrary to popular belief, a turbocharger isn\u2019t just a device; it\u2019s a whole \nconstruction of a system\n.\u00a0\n\n\nA bog-standard turbocharger consists of three main sections \u2013 The turbine, the compressor, and the center housing/Rotating Assembly (CHRA). However, the entire turbocharger system can consist of more components:\n\n\nThe Turbo\n\n\n\n\nTurbine\n\n\nCompressor\n\n\nCenter Housing/Rotating Assembly (CHRA)\n\n\n\n\nThe Whole System\n\n\n\n\nIntercooler\n\n\nWastegate\n\n\nBlow-off Valve\n\n\nPiping and Manifolds\n\n\nHot/Cold Side Piping\n\n\n\n\nPetrol engines need oxygen to combust fuel. But what happens when the vehicle or the driver requires more power? Manufacturers in the olden days compensate by adding a larger displacement or more cylinders to their engines. The larger the engine, the larger the total volume of air and fuel mixture pushed through the engine and by the cylinders. This is commonly known as Cubic Centimeters (CC). Hence, it\u2019s pretty common to see displacement in cars ranging from small, four-cylinder, 1.5 Liter (1499 CC) engines in Hondas, to a behemoth 8.3 Liter (8,285 CC) V10 engine found in the Dodge Viper.\u00a0\n\n\nHigher displacement dishes out more power. While this may seem good, a weekly trip to the gas station and its annual road tax will make you weep to the bank. Higher displacement engines also take up a lot of weight from the engine size, not to mention the fuel needed to store in capacity. For engines with turbo or forced induction systems, however, it can offer up to a similar performance close to high displacement engines, while being lighter in weight.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrCwmpjR77U\n\n\nDo All Cars with Turbochargers Gain Performance and Fuel Economy?\n\n\nYes, it does. Even if performance is not a priority, having a turbocharged engine will do wonders for your fuel economy. For example, the current ongoing Perodua Ativa boasts a small, 1.0 Liter, three-cylinder engine, yet Wapcar reports that the fuel consumption of \nthe Perodua Ativa\n is 5.29L/100km. In comparison, the \nHonda Jazz in Malaysia\n reports fuel consumption of 6.7 L/100 km for a naturally aspirated, 1.5 Liter, four-cylinder engine.\u00a0\n\n\nTurbochargers are also \npopular\n among auto manufacturers due to their \nlow-emission output\n. Without going too much into \nmechanical engineering\n, the more air is sucked into the engine, fuel combustion is improved, thus providing more power while reducing the amount of unburnt fuel wasted and expelled. This is known as Volumetric Efficiency.\n\n\nObviously, the bigger the turbo, the more fuel-efficient the car becomes. But when you have a car that comes with super big turbos, that is another whole new territory on its own \u2013 performance cars.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgLAgCJZdYo\n\n\nPros and Cons of Turbochargers\n\n\nPros\n\n\n\n\nHuge increase in horsepower\n\n\nImproved fuel consumption and economy by mixing more air into the fuel\n\n\nThe sound of the turbo flutter when you up/downshift your gears\n\n\nReduced exhaust emissions compared to naturally aspirated engines\n\n\n\n\nCons\n\n\n\n\nMechanical complexity and cost due to additional parts involved\n\n\nTurbocharged engines wear out faster than naturally aspirated engines due to mechanical stress.\n\n\nPowersurge from tampering with the boost controls. For inexperienced drivers, this can lead to fatal accidents.\u00a0\n\n\nWithout proper care for the intercoolers, turbochargers can suffer from overheating.\n\n\nTurbo lag occurs among vehicles with larger turbos due to the larger turbine that is built into it.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nWhat to Do During a Tire Blowout and How to Avoid Crashing?\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StzxurC95-E\n\n\nTypes of Turbocharger Setups\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSingle Turbo\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSingle turbos are the most common type of forced induction among auto manufacturers. Often, single turbos are preferred by manufacturers as they are simple and the most cost-effective way to maximize performance out of a small engine. They are commonly found in ranging from small, three-cylinder economy cars to medium and large luxurious vehicles.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTwin Turbo\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs opposed to single turbo engines, a twin-turbo setup is similar to it albeit with two turbos working in tandem together. Twin-turbo engines can be had with two different setups \u2013 sequential or parallel patterns; these setups are commonly found in performance-oriented vehicles from six-cylinder engines to V-shaped patterned engines.\u00a0\n\n\nIn short, sequential twin-turbo setups will have two turbochargers\u2014usually, a small one and a larger one behind it, hence the sequential setup. In lower RPM the small turbo spools up faster to minimize turbo lag. When higher RPM is introduced, a valve opens up that allows the air pressure produced from the smaller turbo to feed the bigger one. Bi-turbo is also used interchangeably with sequential twin-turbo setups. Mercedes Benz for example has multiple famous bi-turbo badges and lineups.\u00a0\n\n\nFor parallel patterned turbos, they are placed side-by-side of each other. Parallel patterned twin turbos, unlike sequential turbos, share the workload equally to provide a boost to the engine. Parallel patterned turbos are favored by V-patterned engines as it delivers air pressure equally to each cylinder bank of the V-patterned engine. Parallel turbos also greatly provide more benefits than sequential due to less piping for the intake manifold required and being simpler to install.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xV0DDJJPjyU\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTwin Scroll Turbo\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis setup is uncommon among auto manufacturers. Twin scroll turbo setups are two airflow channels located inside a single turbo housing as opposed to a single channel. Each air channel inside a twin-scroll turbo is spun by two or more cylinders to power a central turbine in order to reduce spool times or turbo lag. To deconstruct how it works, say a twin-scroll turbo is attached to a four-cylinder engine. Cylinder one and four sends exhaust pressure to the first channel while cylinder two and three flows through the second one.\u00a0\n\n\nIn theory, a twin-scroll turbo setup offers much more performance than a standard single-turbo setup. The only flaw of twin-scroll turbos is the mechanical complexity and cost involved in it, hence, its rarity in application.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7JTRRlSEYI\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVariable Geometry Turbo (VGT)\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis setup is even rarer in petrol engines but commonly found in diesel engines. \nVGT Systems\n serves as a middle-ground solution for turbo sizes. Bigger turbos take longer to spool, hence experiencing turbo lag. Smaller turbos on the other hand overheat quickly and cannot dish out as much performance compared to larger turbos. Diesel engines have lower exhaust temperatures and are highly prone to engine failure. VGT systems rectify this by controlling the engine exhaust flow through the turbine wheel by using a row of vanes. For the uninitiated, vanes are similar to fan blades. They are a set of broad blades attached to a rotating axis such as a wheel that is propelled by air pressure.\n\n\nAccording to \nGarrett\u2019s page\n, at low RPMs, the vanes in a VGT system close and restrict exhaust flow into the turbine by an actuator. The turbo still spools but provides a controlled and minimal boost to the engine. When higher RPMs are introduced, the vanes open up and spool up the turbine, even more, giving the engine the power it needs. Its innate complexity and cost make it rare among passenger-oriented vehicles.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElectrically Assisted Turbochargers (EAT)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEAT systems are a relatively new design in the market. Unlike traditional turbocharger systems which solely rely on the flow of exhaust gasses, the spooling of the turbine is now aided by an electrical motor or generator to eliminate turbo lag. BorgWarner was the first to test this mechanism in the early 1990s. Mercedes Benz and Volvo have experience with EAT systems in their vehicles and it has a considerable amount of success in \nFormula 1\n. With the sad grunts of car enthusiasts at every brand-new law for electrical vehicles implemented, it\u2019s unknown whether this technology will take off. Porsche, however, has some ideas in mind with their brand new EAT system in this video below.\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piaB84MYjWs\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWith that, we hope that this article has explained well the types of turbochargers out there.

Compare that to the monthly installment of RM 300-RM 600 per month for a used car. That\u2019s about RM 5,000 to RM 7,000 a year in savings if you choose a used car that is less than 10 years old and has a mileage of less than 100,000 km priced at RM 60,000. If this is not a steal, then we don\u2019t know what is anymore!\n\n\nIf you want to go down the road with a used car (which is better than a new car in so many ways), here are 10 tips you can follow before you buy your new used car!\n\n\nSet a Budget\n \u2013 The most important tip when it comes to buying a used car is to set a reachable budget according to your financial ability. You can find different car models that can be purchased based on your set budget. Let\u2019s say your budget is RM 50,000. You can get a monthly loan from as low as RM 300 to RM 500 for 5 to 7 years depending on your monthly commitment.\n\n\n\n\nHow to Calculate Your Total Loan based on your Pay.\n\n\n\n\nMake sure the price of the car does not exceed your annual pay. If you earn RM 2,700 monthly, the price of your used car must not exceed RM 32,400 (RM 2,700 x 12 months).\n\n\nThe monthly payment should be more than 15% of your total salary. So, the ideal amount for a salary of RM 2,700 would be between RM \n \n300 to RM 500 per month.\n\n\n\n\nMake sure you get a car according to your need and your financial ability, not based on your wants and dreams. To make life easier, you can use Carsome\u2019s loan calculator to help you gauge your monthly allocation based on your budget.\n\n\nSurvey Online\n \u2013 In this modern age and time, every information is right at your fingertips. No more travelling far to a used dealership to survey for used cars because there are various online platforms like Carsome that offer used car trading services. It is also best not to go directly to a physical dealership without doing proper research online. You might get swooned by their smooth-talking skills and get something which is above your budget.\n\n\nOther than that, online car trading platforms also allow you to set \u201cfilters\u201d according to your set budget and needs which makes it easier to pick out cars that are within your budget.\n\n\nCheck the Car\u2019s Age\n \u2013 Just like the budget, setting the age limit of a used car is also an important tip to know. For example, with a budget of RM20,000, you will be presented with a variety of used cars that you can purchase. If you already have an estimated age of a used car that you want, you can then set the filter to narrow down your search according to it (eg \u2013 cars not more than 5 years). You can find the average age of cars that was sold the most to Carsome was between 6-8 years.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCheck the Mileage\n \u2013 \nIn general, if the mileage of a used car is high, this would affect the value of the car. You want to choose a car with a low-medium mileage as that makes it easier for you to feel confident when it comes to quality. Low to medium mileage used cars often \noffer quality that is near to what you would find in a brand-new car. But do keep in mind that this also depends on the age of the car. Buying a higher mileage but newer car is better than buying an older car with low mileage as components in a car deteriorate over time regardless of how far it has driven.\n\n\nCheck the History of the Car\n \u2013 Make sure you check the history of the car before you decide on any used car. Usually, used cars sold at a price that is lower than the market price may have its own hidden history. Find out in advance whether the car you want has been involved in any major accidents, any major overhauling, if it has been flooded, how many times it has changed owners, etc as all this would affect the maintenance of a car in the long run. Avoid getting deceived by the perfect outer appearance of the car.\n\n\nRecord of the Car\u2019s Service Schedule\n \u2013 Used cars that are serviced consistently according to its schedule gives an indication that the car is in a good shape. If it is possible, you should look out for car owners who service their car at their respective brand\u2019s service centers.\n\n\n\n\nThese service centers would have a proper record of all service done to the car. This maintenance information is particularly helpful when you want to find out in depth about the used car that you want to purchase, be it information related to spare parts or major damages to engines and other parts of the car.\n\n\nCheck the Exterior and Interior of the Car \n\u2013 You should check out for any dents, bumps, or defects on and inside the car that you are planning to buy because if there are any, getting these fixed can be quite tiresome and costly. What you can do is try to negotiate for a discount if you detect any damage on the car that the owner does not wish to repair.\n\n\n\n\nTake in mind the repair cost \u2013 repainting the car\u2019s body is about RM 2,000 to RM 5,000, to remove a dent from the car starts from RM 150 and this is based on how deep the dent is. Meanwhile to deep clean your seats can cost up to RM 200 based on the material.\n\n\nInspect the Other Parts of the Car\n \u2013 Here\u2019s what you should look out for when you are inspecting all additional parts of the car.\n\n\n\n\nHigh and low lights, fog lights and hazard lights.\n\n\nAir conditioner.\n\n\nCar horn.\n\n\nRadio and compact disc (CD) player or touch screen.\n\n\nCar door handles and compartments.\n\n\nPower window switch, side mirrors.\n\n\n2.4V socket or spark plug.\n\n\nTrigger oil tanks, bonnet, and car boots.\n\n\nSeat belts and seat adjusters.\n\n\nStorage tires and toolbox.\n\n\nDashboard indicator lights.\n\n\n\n\nCheck the Engine of the Car\n \u2013 Once you are satisfied with the exterior and interior of the car, the next step is to check the engine. If you are not so well versed with the engine of a car, especially when it comes to technical matters, do seek the help of a trusted mechanic.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJust by listening to the engine of a car, they would know exactly what is wrong with it and would be able give you proper advice on the car that you want to purchase. But if you want to do it yourself, here is a guide that you can follow \u2013\n\n\n\n\nCheck for any leakage of oils.\n\n\nTo check the radiator condition, open the top cover to inspect the murkiness of the radiator water.\n\n\nCheck the connection cables if there are any damages or if it is disconnected.\n\n\nMake sure no components are detached, worn out or damaged.\n\n\nCheck the engine oil.\n\n\n\n\nTest Drive the Car\n \u2013 No matter from where you get your used car, whether it\u2019s from a dealer or an owner, you have every right to test drive the car before you purchase it.\n\n\n\n\nTest driving would give you the ultimate satisfaction and help you decide if you would like to purchase that car. Here\u2019s are some tips for test driving a used car \u2013\n\n\n\n\nTest the car brakes. Identify if there are any strange sounds during braking.\n\n\nTest the steering wheel during turns (sharp turns or normal turns). Look out for strange noises when you turn.\n\n\nTest drive in uneven terrains. This is to check the tires, suspensions, and gears.\n\n\nDrive at various speeds to put the engine to test.\n\n\nMake sure the car gears move smoothly no matter if it\u2019s automatic or manual.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe hope these 10 tips will help you when you start looking out for a used car. But if you want to make your life easier, you can always \nbuy your new used car\n at Carsome.

But did you know that maintaining your car\u2019s oils and fluids is one of the most important aspects of car maintenance? Keeping your car\u2019s fluids at the proper level will not only increase your car\u2019s longevity but make it safer to drive. In this article, we\u2019ll look at how to check the various car fluids from the engine oil to the brake fluid.\n\n\n\n\nEngine Oil\n\n\nThe engine oil is probably the most important car fluid. Since the pistons and other \nengine \ncomponents move thousands of times a minute, they face extreme friction. Engine oil prevents serious damage to the engine by lubricating the various components while the car is running.\u00a0\n\n\nThere are three types of engine oils on the market: mineral, semi-synthetic, and fully-synthetic. While all engine oils should be able to do the job, they differ in their effectiveness and lifespan. In terms of cost, mineral oils are the cheapest, followed by semi-synthetic, and fully-synthetic oils being the costliest. Mineral oils also require a change every 5,000 kilometers, while semi-synthetic and fully-synthetic oils should be changed every 7,000 and 10,000 kilometers respectively.\n\n\nHow to Check Your Engine Oil\n\n\nChecking the engine oil is easy and is something every car owner should know how to do. To start, locate the engine oil dipstick which should be near the top of the engine. Make sure the engine is cold or has been turned off for at least 10 minutes to get an accurate reading. Then, pull the dipstick out and wipe it clean with a cloth or paper towel. Reinsert the dipstick and pull it back out to check the engine oil level.\n\n\nThere are minimum and maximum oil level markers on the dipstick. It\u2019s best to have the oil level to be close to maximum. If it\u2019s near or below the minimum, add more engine oil as driving with low engine oil can damage your engine. If you have a low engine oil level, it\u2019s best to get your car checked as it could indicate that your engine is burning oil or leaking.\n\n\nCheck Your Car Engine Oil Color\n\n\nBesides the engine oil level, checking its condition is equally important. While checking, look at the color of the oil on the dipstick, if it\u2019s yellow or a light amber color, that\u2019s good news. If it\u2019s dark brown or black, it\u2019s time to change your oil. However, if the oil has a milky color, you could have coolant leaking into the engine.\n\n\nAnother thing you should check is whether there are foreign particles in the oil. To check it, touch the oil on the dipstick. If it\u2019s smooth, you\u2019re all good. However, if it feels gritty, that could mean your engine components are wearing down and getting deposited in the engine oil.\n\n\n\n\nRadiator Coolant\n\n\nThe radiator coolant is another vital car fluid as it prevents your engine from \noverheating\n. The coolant absorbs all the heat produced by the combustion and friction in the engine and dissipates it through the radiator. The coolant replacement interval varies between cars, so it\u2019s best to refer to your owner\u2019s manual but in general, it averages from 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers.\n\n\nHow to Check Your Radiator Coolant\n\n\nTo check your car\u2019s radiator coolant, you have to locate the radiator coolant reserve or overflow tank. This tank is located just beside the radiator and has a hose at the top connecting it to the radiator. Check the tank to make sure the coolant level falls between the minimum and maximum indicators on the tank. If the level is low, just fill the tank with coolant up to the top. However, make sure that you add the right type of coolant. If you\u2019re not sure, you can check your owner\u2019s manual.\n\n\nWhile it\u2019s uncommon, some cars may come without a radiator coolant reserve tank. If that\u2019s the case, open the radiator cap and make sure that the coolant is filled to the top. Remember to always check the coolant water when your engine is cool as the pressure can build up in the radiator when it\u2019s hot, and you can burn yourself if hot coolant sprays out.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nA Guide to Car Warning Lights and Indicators\n\n\n\n\nBrake Fluid\n\n\nBrake oil or fluid is essential to prevent accidents as it helps your car to stop when needed. When you step on the brake pedal, a plunger pressurizes the brake fluid in the brake lines. The fluid transfers the force to your brake pads which then clamp onto the brake rotors, slowing down your car. Over time, brake fluid can leak and lead to a spongy brake pedal feel. Water could also enter the brake lines resulting in corrosion in the braking system and reduced braking performance.\n\n\nHow to Check Your Brake Fluid\n\n\nThe brake fluid reservoir is located in the engine bay, usually at the rear of the engine compartment. You can usually identify the brake fluid cap by the brake fluid text and brake symbol on the cap. When checking your brake fluid, make sure the level is between the minimum and maximum indicators.\u00a0\n\n\nYou can top up the car brake fluid if it\u2019s below the minimum line but make sure it\u2019s compatible with your car. Also, check that the fluid is clean and translucent. If it\u2019s dark and cloudy, you should get it replaced at a workshop. Replacing brake fluid requires a fluid flush, so it\u2019s best to get it done professionally.\n\n\n\n\nTransmission Fluid\n\n\nThe gears, clutches, and valves in a transmission work together to provide smooth gear shifts so you can drive comfortably at any speed. Being an essential car fluid, the transmission fluid lubricates and cools the components inside the transmission so that it works smoothly. If you have low transmission fluid levels, or if it\u2019s deteriorated, your car could have rough shifting, noises during shifting, and random jerking or surging while driving. It\u2019s generally advised to change the transmission fluid every 60,000 kilometers.\n\n\nHow to Check Your Transmission Fluid\n\n\nChecking the \nmanual or automatic transmission\n fluid involves the same process. Some cars have a transmission fluid dipstick while others require a mechanic to check it. If your car has this dipstick, it should be located near the rear of the engine bay, where the transmission meets the engine. Keep the engine running while you check the fluid it needs to be at operating temperature to get an accurate reading. You should also check your owner\u2019s manual whether to keep your car in Park or Neutral gear while taking the reading.\u00a0\n\n\nIf your engine is warm enough, you can check the oil level on the dipstick and make sure that it\u2019s within the minimum and maximum levels. If the level is low, you can add more fluid. After checking that you\u2019ve added enough, shift the gear selector through all the gears with your foot on the brake. This will help the new transmission fluid to travel through the whole transmission and coat each component. Transmission fluid is typically red and translucent when new. If it\u2019s dark, gritty, or cloudy, it\u2019s a sign that it should be changed.\n\n\n\n\nPower Steering Fluid\n\n\nMost modern cars have a hydraulic power steering system that uses fluid to make turning the steering wheel easy at any speed. When you\u2019re low on power steering fluid, the steering could feel heavy or jerky to turn which impacts your car\u2019s maneuverability. The recommended replacement interval for the power steering fluid is every 50,000 to 100,000 kilometers depending on the vehicle, so be sure to check your owner\u2019s manual.\n\n\nHow to Check Your Power Steering Fluid\n\n\nChecking the power steering fluid is similar to checking other car fluids. Most vehicles have a power steering fluid reservoir with a cap that says \u2018power steering fluid\u2019. It\u2019s usually located at the rear end of the engine bay near the driver\u2019s side. You then need to check the fluid level and make sure it\u2019s between the minimum and maximum markings on the reservoir.\u00a0\n\n\nYou can top up the fluid level if it\u2019s low, but make sure to use the fluid type specified for your vehicle. Power steering fluid is usually red, pink, or yellow in color when new and turns brown or black when it ages. If you have a dark colored power steering fluid, it\u2019s a good time to get it replaced.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nA Guide to Wheel Alignment and Balancing\n\n\n\n\nWindshield Washer Fluid\n\n\nA clear windshield is essential for safe driving, so maintaining your windshield washer fluid is important. You can check your windshield washer fluid by locating the reservoir with the windshield symbol on its cap. If the fluid level is low, you can simply add new washer fluid into the reservoir until it\u2019s full and close the cap.\u00a0\n\n\nWindshield washer fluids are available at auto supply stores and petrol stations, and some even contain special additives to keep your windshield clearer in the rain. But in a pinch, you can make your own windshield washer fluid at home by diluting a few drops of shampoo with water. \nNow that you know how to check the various car oils and fluids, you can make sure they\u2019re in good condition without waiting for problems to arise.\n\n\nChoose CARSOME Certified for Quality Pre-owned Cars\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a \npre-owned car\n in top condition, check out the large selection of cars at CARSOME. \nEach of our cars is put through a 175-point inspection to ensure they\u2019re free from major accidents and flood damage.

That being said, each family has different needs and budget so you have to vet your choices wisely.\u00a0 That\u2019s why we have picked some of the best family cars in Malaysia for a wide range of users, from the young newlyweds to the larger families with extended relatives. We also highlight some of the top safety features that a car should have to ensure you and your family are safe on the road.\n\n\nTop Safety Features to Have In a Family Car\n\n\n\n\nThere can be various hazards on the road that can cause accidents, and while older cars generally have safety features for the driver and front passenger, they are not enough for the whole family. Fortunately, car safety technology has made tremendous progress over the years that there are now numerous features designed to protect all occupants and even other road users. Before we take a look at the best family cars available in Malaysia, here are some car safety features you should look out for.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCar Seat Support\n \u2013 Most cars make it fairly easy to get car seats in and out, but if you have multiple young kids at home, you will want to know how many car seats can fit in one row. Most cars made after 2002 come with the built-in ISOFIX system for easy car seat installation.\n\n\nCollision Warning\n \u2013 These come in various forms and the function of it is to alert you when you\u2019re too close to someone in front of you or if you\u2019re moving in too quickly. They work not just for other cars, but also for pedestrians who are crossing in front of you. Some will even automatically apply the brakes.\n\n\nBlind Spot Monitor\n \u2013 Using sonar sensors in the rear bumpers or sometimes cameras in the exterior mirrors, blind-spot monitoring systems watch adjacent lanes and can alert you to other vehicles that might be in the driver\u2019s blind spot or hidden by the car\u2019s roof pillars. The warning light goes off when someone is in your blind spot.\n\n\nParking Sensors\n \u2013 Sonar sensors in the rear bumpers that let you know when you are getting too close to other vehicles, shopping carts, or anything else above a certain height.\n\n\nLane Departure Warning\n \u2013 When you start to slip out of your lane, but your turn signal is not on, this will gently turn your steering wheel back and alert you.\n\n\nAdaptive Cruise Control\n \u2013 You can set your maximum speed for Cruise Control and your car will speed up or slow down to keep pace with the car in front of you. In many modern cars, the cruise control can even work in stop-and-go traffic.\n\n\n\n\nBest Family Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV): Honda CR-V\n\n\n\n\nThe \nHonda CR-V\n is one of the best-selling SUVs in the country and it\u2019s easy to see why. It has a spacious, refined interior, large cargo capacity, and Honda\u2019s best safety technology \u2013 all in a modern, sharp package. A new Honda CR-V starts from RM139,912.53 for the base model powered by a 2.0L engine and from RM162,910.18 for the top-range four-wheel-drive model powered by a 1.5L turbocharged engine.\n\n\nThis five-seater SUV is equipped with features that make traveling as a family easy. Some noteworthy features that make the CR-V one of the best family cars in Malaysia include all-around LED lights with auto-leveling headlights, dual-zone auto air conditioning, USB charging ports for the front and rear passengers, active noise cancellation to reduce noise in the cabin, six airbags, and the Honda SENSING safety suite. The boot also has a wide aperture, low floor, and hands-free power tailgate for easy loading and unloading.\n\n\nBesides the regular safety features, Honda SENSING includes Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), a multi-view camera system, and more. Cargo space is generous in the CR-V at 522-liters which is expandable to 1,084-liters with the rear seats folded down.\n\n\nBest Value Seven-Seater: Perodua Aruz\n\n\n\n\nThe \nPerodua Aruz\n is the best family car in Malaysia for those looking for an affordable seven-seater. Based on the Toyota Rush, this SUV is a great budget option starting from only RM68,526. It\u2019s powered by a 1.5L Dual VVT-i engine producing a maximum power of 102 PS and 133 Nm to the rear wheels which is not the highest in the segment, but adequate for most people.\n\n\nAs a seven-seater SUV, the Perodua Aruz prioritizes the comfort of the rear passengers with air conditioning vents and 12 V power sockets at the rear. There\u2019s also an anti-snatch hook similar to the one found on other Perodua models, Hill-Start Assist (HSA), an integrated Driving Video Recorder (DVR) or dashcam, and a best in class fuel economy of 6.4 L/100 km. Families with children will appreciate the seat belt reminder for all seats, one-touch power windows with jam protection, and Perodua\u2019s Advanced Safety Assist 2.0 suite.\u00a0\n\n\nFor those of you with furry family members, the foldable second-row seats offer plenty of space for your pets to sit and even stretch their legs. Plus, with the foldable third-row seats, you can expand the 213-liter boot to fit all your luggage and your pet\u2019s supplies. All in all, the Perodua Aruz provides excellent value for money with its fuel economy, space, as well as comfort and safety features.\u00a0\n\n\nBest Family Sedan: Honda Accord\n\n\n\n\nFor users who want a large sedan that\u2019s comfortable for the family and has a sleek, stunning look, the \nHonda Accord\n is the answer. The current Honda Accord uses a 1.5L turbocharged engine found in the Honda Civic and CR-V that\u2019s tuned for more power, as well as torque. It starts from RM178,203 and packs a lot of tech and premium finishing in a refined package. The cabin is designed to be quiet and comfortable allowing for pleasant drives in town and on the open road.\u00a0\n\n\nThere are plenty of features to satisfy the driver and occupants including a wireless charger up front, two USB ports at the front and rear respectively, dual auto air conditioning, side door sunshades for rear passengers, six airbags, and a complete safety suite including Honda SENSING.\u00a0\n\n\nThe 1.5L turbocharged engine provides a very respectable 201 PS of power and 260 Nm of torque with a fuel consumption of only 6.3 L/100km. With the performance, refinement, and safety that it provides, the Honda Accord is a top contender for the best family car in Malaysia.\n\n\nRead: \nSafety Features You Should Have in Your Car\n\n\nBest Value Family Car: Proton Persona\n\n\n\n\nBudget-conscious drivers who want a comfortable, spacious sedan that drives well should consider the \nProton Persona\n. For a starting price of RM45,800 for the base Standard model and RM55,800 for the Premium one, the Persona offers great value as a family car. It has a decent cabin with leatherette seats on the Premium model, an 8-inch touchscreen display infotainment with Proton\u2019s latest GKUI interface, 4G and Wi-Fi connectivity and six USB ports throughout the cabin.\u00a0\n\n\nSafety is crucial in a family car and the Premium model of the Proton Persona offers six airbags, along with ABS, EBD, Brake Assist (BA), ESC, Traction Control System (TCS), Hill Hold Assist (HHA), and a reverse camera. Its 1.6L engine produces 109 PS of power and 150 Nm of torque. Coupled with Proton\u2019s ride and handling, the Persona is stable to drive at speeds, even in the corners.\u00a0\n\n\nThe cargo space is large at 520-liters, expandable by folding down the 60:40 split rear seats. Overall, the Proton Persona is a great family car at its price point; it\u2019s practical, comfortable, and being a Proton, is affordable to maintain.\n\n\nKing of Practicality: Nissan Serena\n\n\n\n\nThe \nNissan Serena\n is easily among the most practical and feature-packed seven-seater MPVs available in the market. Users who have a large family and children will appreciate the thought that\u2019s been put in the design of this family car. Prices for a new Nissan Serena start at RM140,226 for the base 2.0L Highway Star model. What makes the Nissan Serena great for parents with children is its rear hands-free powered sliding doors with kick sensors. Parents can just do a kicking motion under the door while holding their little child or bag of supplies and the door will open to reveal a wide opening that\u2019s very easy to get in and out of.\n\n\nThe rear seats are spacious and multi-adjustable with each having USB charging ports for all members of the family. There\u2019s also a ceiling-mounted monitor to keep the rear passengers entertained on any trip. The boot is big enough to fit several small suitcases and is expandable by folding the rear seats. Another feature that highlights the practicality of the Nissan Serena is its tailgate which can be opened in two ways. Users can either open just the top half to access the boot, or open the whole tailgate. This is especially useful when the vehicle is reverse-parked against a wall.\u00a0\n\n\nIn terms of safety, the Nissan Serena doesn\u2019t disappoint as a family car. It has six airbags including full-length curtain airbags, Intelligent Around View Monitor (IAVM), Intelligent Moving Object Detection (IMOD), and other conventional safety features. As a C-segment MPV, the Serena has a surprisingly small turning radius of 5.5 m and a decent 6.6 L/100km fuel consumption. With all these features, it\u2019s easy to see why the Nissan Serena is one of the best family cars in Malaysia.\n\n\nNow that you know what the best family cars in Malaysia are, we hope you can find the right one for your family.

I\u2019ve seen a husband stuffing a family of four in a Subaru BRZ, a two-door coupe; and a university student owning a \nFord Ranger Raptor\n, but doesn\u2019t haul cargo nor go offroading. That being said, the latter can still have some practical use down the road.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nOftentimes prospecting new and used car buyers can get caught up in the chasm between needs and wants when buying a car. In this article, let\u2019s explore the ideas/tools to help you streamline your decision-making process.\u00a0\n\n\nThat car can\u2019t be practical when the kids grow up one day.\n\n\nMaslow\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs\n\n\nSource: \nsimplypsychology.org\n\n\nMaslow\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs is a theory that suggests human needs can be arranged in a pyramid structure. At the base are the most basic physiological needs, such as food, water, and shelter. Then, people move up to safety needs, like security and stability. After that, they seek love and belongingness needs, such as friendships and relationships. Further up the pyramid are self-esteem needs, which include feelings of self-worth and respect. At the top of the pyramid is self-actualization, which is the desire for personal growth, creativity, and fulfillment. According to Maslow, people must satisfy lower-level needs before moving up to higher ones.\n\n\nThis brings us back to our decision-making process when choosing a car. Auto manufacturers and sales representatives are quick to sell the prestigious status of owning a certain brand and model. But how many people are able to maintain that kind of lifestyle? You should check your Debt Service Ratio (DSR) first.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat Is DSR?\u00a0\n\n\nFor prospecting used car buyers, it\u2019s important to calculate your Debt Service Ratio (DSR) to determine how much you can afford to spend on a car. \nDSR\n is a method used by banks to calculate your ability to pay the installment for a loan. Here\u2019s an example of how the DSR formula works.\u00a0\n\n\nTo calculate your own DSR, you start by calculating your nett income (monthly income subtracting EPF/SOCSO contributions). Then, divide the sum of your monthly commitments + by the installment you are going to pay for e.g. house loan/car loan. Multiply the figure by 100% and that is the ratio of your debt to your income.\u00a0\n\n\nNow one thing to keep in mind: \nDSR requirements\n may vary for each bank. Some banks may accept as high as 80% while others as low as 50%. Once you have a rough estimation of your budget based on your DSR, here are a few more additional points to consider towards choosing your used car.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \n7 Car-Buying Tips to Score the Right Car for You\n\n\nUnderstand Your Needs\n\n\nConsider Make, Model, & Segment First\n\n\nNow begins the step of choosing your car. There\u2019s no harm in starting with a local selection of used cars as a fresh graduate or a university student. However, if your budget allows more room to wiggle, then you can move up to used Japanese vehicles. It is also important to consider the kind of lifestyle you have before choosing the right make or model. A university student buying a Ranger Raptor as their first car is peculiar but there\u2019s nothing wrong with that; but what is the point if the owner isn\u2019t going to haul cargo or go offroading? Conversely, a family husband buying a sports car for family use is impractical.\u00a0\n\n\nHere\u2019s a recommended guideline from us that can streamline the decision-making process of choosing a used car \u2013 If you\u2019re a fresh graduate or student, pick a small, economy car. A pickup truck or an MPV for heavy-duty work, and a hot-hatch or a sports car if you\u2019re a thrill seeker who can afford it. Lastly, a luxury car should only be considered if you have excess money to spend.\n\n\nRead More: \nWhy Aren\u2019t Station Wagons Popular in Malaysia?\n\n\nThen, the Price & Budget According to Specs\n\n\nOften, many car owners experience \nbuyer\u2019s remorse\n one month after owning the car. There are many reasons this could happen, notably, a lack of proper research into the vehicle. Don\u2019t bite more than you can chew, as our elders would say. That\u2019s why car loans remain one of the \nbiggest causes of bankruptcies\n in Malaysia.\u00a0\n\n\nSometimes we let our inner child cloud our judgment when making a big purchase. We might think if we push our budget just a little bit more, we can afford something better. The hubris of this kind of purchase is going to bite you back when it comes to servicing your car and buying replacement parts, like when you buy a used Mercedes-Benz in Malaysia without being able to afford it.\u00a0\n\n\nSome variants can be more expensive or cheaper than others due to more features added to the vehicle. Manual transmission variants, although rare, are still the cheapest variant you can buy. For the wallet-conscious consumer who doesn\u2019t mind rowing their own gears, the stick shift model will serve just fine.\u00a0\n\n\nObligatory #savethemanuals support.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nWhy the Manual Transmission is Dying.\n\u00a0\n\n\nAddressing Your Wants\u00a0\n\n\nA Sporty Car for a Not-So Sporty Lifestyle\n\n\nGetting the latest hot-hatch or sports car on the market may sound like a dream. But what happens when you start a family and the commitments pile up? Choosing a car in the right segment is going to save you a huge hassle in the long run. Ask yourself this when going shopping for a car \u2013 how will this vehicle be \npractical for me\n in the next six months to five years? Shelving an old interest is a heavy-hearted decision but you can always go back to it when things get better. Remember, a car is always a depreciating asset to own.\n\n\nIf you still want something fun to get around with while being a practical grocery-getter, consider getting a hatchback, station wagon or a sedan. These segments serve as the middle ground between practical and fun to drive. As a petrolhead myself, I would advise you to get a sports car or a vanity vehicle for the weekends when you have the money to burn after you\u2019ve sufficiently increased your income.\u00a0\n\n\nLook Into Aftermarket Support & Reliability\u00a0\n\n\nLocal cars are generally a safe bet. But, if you\u2019re looking into used cars, it\u2019s best to dig through a model\u2019s history first. If you recall, the \nProton X50\n and \nX70\n owners had a dry spell of spare parts in Malaysia during the COVID lockdowns in China. One tip when choosing a used car is to research the availability of spare parts for said vehicle before buying.\u00a0\n\n\nFirst-Gen Toyota Mark X\n\n\nSecond-gen Lexus IS250\n\n\nThese two cars share the same engine and transmission, thus sourcing parts is easier for maintenance.\n\n\nConversely, aftermarket parts support for used Continental cars, especially the newer models is still widely available although expensive to purchase. Again, it\u2019s important to take your budget into account to maintain the car.\u00a0\n\n\nLastly, How Will This Purchase Affect People around Me?\n\n\nUnless you\u2019re buying a car just for yourself, it\u2019s also important to consider who else might be using your car. If I buy a manual sports car, will anyone in my family know how to drive one? What about an SUV with high ground clearance? Can my aging parents climb in easily? Don\u2019t let your desires for a five-minute glory cloud your judgment.\u00a0\n\n\nTo conclude, don\u2019t be quick to make reckless decisions that can cost you a fortune. Take your time to consider your options, finances, and situation. Then, start researching which car serves as the middle ground to suit your requirements. Do you strictly want a workhorse, a family car, or a fun ride? Start from there, and work your way till you find your match made in heaven.\u00a0\n\n\nNow that you have an idea of what to look for in a used car, start browsing for your used car via our official CARSOME app!

With the Lunar New Year drawing closer, you might be tempted to buy a car to impress your relatives this season or to last throughout the year. For staunch followers and those new to the \nworld of Feng Shui\n, did you know you can channel it into your car this \nYear of the Rabbit\n?\n\n\nKeep Your Car Uncluttered and Clean\n\n\nCleanliness and cockroach infestation aside, there is also a logical reason why Feng Shui masters tell you to keep your car clean all the time. Clutteredness is a sign of stagnation and will slow you and your progress down in life. Like a clogged drain, Feng Shui masters claim that good luck for the Year of the Rabbit will be blocked if you do not take the initiative now to clean up your car! If you need to transport items, keep the same colored bins in your trunk to have a good flow of luck.\u00a0\n\n\nIt\u2019s also important to keep the exterior of your car clean at all times. Not only is it presentable to others, but a dusty and dirty window won\u2019t allow you to clearly see available opportunities this year. That, and hazards on the road.\u00a0\n\n\nHang a Crystal Ball For Protection From Bad Energy\n\n\nIf you can splurge a little, hanging a small crystal ball can draw good energy and repel bad ones for this Year of the Rabbit. Aside from looking like a pretty disco ball, in the world of Feng Shui, crystal balls represent pleasant, smooth, and constant motion. Crystal balls are believed to repel negative energy from the faceted surface and draw in gentle ones.\u00a0\n\n\nHanging a small, 20mm diameter crystal ball in your car, preferably on the rearview mirror will repel all the negative energy (and hopefully bad drivers) on the road while constantly drawing in good, gentle ones.\u00a0\n\n\nPut Coins in Your Car to Draw in Wealth\u00a0\n\n\nPutting loose change in your cup holders, glovebox, and side door pockets will come in handy should you need it. But in a cashless society today, physical coins seem obsolete. However, when it comes to Feng Shui for your car, masters, and sifus will tell you to keep them there as it is. Having money in your car at all times will remind you you always have money wherever you go and wealth will always be with you. Do top it back if you use the coins.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \n9 Things to Check Before & After Your Drive\n\n\nPick the Right Color For Your Car Based On Your Zodiac Sign\n\n\nDid you know picking the right color for your car based on your birth year can boost your luck? According to Feng Shui sifus, each year, the animal in the Chinese Zodiac has a corresponding element change; and choosing the right Feng Shui car color based on the Five Elements enhances the fortune it brings. The Five Elements (Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth) all have their own distinctive colors.\n\n\nSay this year is the year of the Fire Monkey, for example, you can either get a red car to fuel the flames of passion or a green car as green symbolizes wood that fuels the fire!\u00a0\n\n\nA famous Malaysian Feng Shui Master, \nJoey Yap\n, foretells that this year is the Year of the Water Rabbit, so why not get a blue-colored car to match? Even if the car that you purchased doesn\u2019t have the corresponding color, you can always make an appointment with a paint shop. If you\u2019re not sure what to choose, here\u2019s a list of auspicious \ncar Feng Shui colors\n to choose from!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRed\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRed is a powerful and vibrant choice. Often, red is associated with good luck, prosperity, and wealth around the world and not just in Chinese culture. Red also symbolizes a burning passion, love, and happiness. Overall red brings out the positive energy and passion in your car, hence it\u2019s a popular choice among car owners. If you\u2019re gifting a car to a loved one this year, make it red to show your passion and love for them!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGreen\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGreen may seem like an odd choice for your car\u2019s color. However, green is not only good for the eyes, but it also symbolizes growth, abundance, health, balance, and stability. Overall, green represents peace of mind and steadiness in life. In Feng Shui, green is used to create a peaceful atmosphere wherever you go.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBlue\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBlue, like the ocean, symbolizes vibrant transformations and the constant movement of the seas. It also represents personal clarity and inspiration in our endeavors. For anyone in the creative field, getting a blue-colored car will keep the creative juices flowing this Year of the Rabbit.\n\n\nRead More: \nWhy Committing a Fashion Faux Pas behind the Wheel Means Being Safer on the Road?\n\n\nChoose a Good Pickup Date and Plate Number for Your Car\u00a0\n\n\nIn the Chinese community, choosing the right date and the \nright car plate number\n based on Feng Shui goes a long way as the \nnumber\n phonetics can represent auspicious sounds (\u5409\u5229 j\u00edl\u00ec). This is known as Chinese numerology and here\u2019s \nhow it works\n for this Year of the Rabbit.\n\n\nRead More: \nHow To Bid For Your Favorite Car Plate Number\n\n\nGo For These\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Number Two (\u4e8c)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Chinese numerology, pairings are seen as auspicious. \u4e8c (\u00c8r) is commonly associated with doubles, \u53cc (Shu\u0101ng). It\u2019s used to signify twice the joy, happiness, and wealth for others and is a Chinese calligraphy favorite to be decorated at homes. Consult more with a master for advice on the best car plate number for feng shui.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Number Eight (\u516b)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNumber eight, \n\u516b (B\u0101)\n bears similar phonetics to \u53d1 (f\u0101), which often is paired as a verb to \u53d1\u8d22 (f\u0101c\u00e1i), getting rich. If you\u2019re getting a used car for business, setting the pickup date and plate number with an eight is a sign of a thriving business.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Number Nine (\u4e5d)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMighty number nine, \u4e5d (ji\u01d4) sounds like \u4e45 (ji\u01d4), which stands for longevity and eternity. Get a number nine paired up with another number on your car\u2019s plate and car collection date to symbolize your car\u2019s running reliability and your endeavors running successfully for eternity.\u00a0\n\n\nAvoid These\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Number Four (\u56db)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNumber four has been associated with the bane of misfortune in Chinese culture. Four in Mandarin, \u56db (S\u00ec) sounds like death, \u6b7b (S\u01d0). So avoid number four at all costs or substitute it with 3A. In addition, showing the number four in the Chinese community is a sign of disrespect, so avoid these numbers on your car for potentially fatal accidents.\u00a0\n\n\nHowever, number four can be used as a double-edged sword. In Chinese internet slang, the arrangement, 1314 can be interpreted as\n \u4e00\u751f\u4e00\u4e16 \n(y\u012b s\u0101n y\u012b s\u00ec) which stands for one life, one world. 1314 is also often paired with romantic phrases in Mandarin. If you\u2019re buying a car for your significant other, what better way to \nexpress your love\n than with the best car plate number for feng shui?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Number Five (\u4e94)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMambo Number Five here should also be avoided on your pickup date and your plate number. The number, \u4e94 (w\u01d4) sounds like \u545c (w\u016b) which buzzes like someone whining and grumbling in Mandarin. Who wants a whiner in life?\u00a0\n\n\nGetting a specific plate number is arguably the hardest and most expensive part of this guide as it\u2019s common for Malaysians to bid absurd amounts of money for them. But if you can afford it, a good plate number can also yield bragging rights and channel in the positive energy that is much needed for 2023. That said, you can still buy from the current running numbers for as low as RM300, which means you can actually get an auspicious plate number for your car at a reasonable price.

Coupled with the hundreds, or even thousands of car models available on the market, it\u2019s easy to be overwhelmed by the options you have to go through. To help you find the right car for your needs, we compiled three simple but essential questions you should ask yourself.\n\n\n\n\n1. What is Your Budget?\n\n\nThe most important factor to consider before buying a car is your budget. Key factors to consider when buying a car include:\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0the price of the car;\n\n\n\u00a0the monthly loan repayment amount; and\n\n\nthe ownership cost which includes the fuel, maintenance, insurance, road tax, and even toll costs.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAs a general rule of thumb, it\u2019s recommended that you spend no more than 15 percent of your monthly income on your monthly loan repayment.\u00a0\n\n\nTo help you estimate how much you\u2019ll need to spend on your loan repayment, you can use CARSOME\u2019s Financing Tool.

Simply select a car on our website that you like and scroll down the page to use the tool.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nExample of CARSOME\u2019s financing prediction tool on a car listing\n\n\n2. Do You Want a National or Imported Car Brand?\n\n\nWhen it comes to deciding between car brands, most Malaysian buyers will consider these three options: local car brands, Asian or Japanese brands, and continental brands.\u00a0\n\n\nBut before deciding on a brand, it\u2019s important to identify your lifestyle, your purpose for owning a car, and how much the car\u2019s brand matters to you. Below is a breakdown of some of the top car brands to help you decide which is right for you.\n\n\nMalaysian Car Brands\n\n\nMalaysia\u2019s two national car brands, \nProton\n and \nPerodua\n, have taken the top spot as best-selling cars in the country for good reason \u2013 they are affordable, reliable, and easy to maintain. While local cars have previously been regarded as low quality with limited features, cars such as the \nPerodua Myvi\n and \nProton X50\n prove that local carmakers are stepping up their game.\u00a0\n\n\nCurrent models now have exciting designs, high build quality, and even advanced safety features such as Perodua\u2019s Advanced Safety Assist (A.S.A) suite of safety features.\n\n\nAsian Car Brands\n\n\nAsian car brands such as Japanese and Korean brands are very common on Malaysian roads as they offer a good balance of affordability and quality. These brands are also known for being market leaders in introducing new vehicle features and technologies to the average consumer.\u00a0\n\n\nVehicles from brands such as Toyota and Honda are also well known for their reliability and fuel efficiency. Popular Asian car brands include \nToyota\n, \nHonda\n, \nNissan\n, and \nHyundai\n.\n\n\nContinental Car Brands\n\n\nThese refer to European automotive brands such as \nBMW\n and \nVolvo\n. Some of the best continental car brands come from countries such as Germany, France, and The United Kingdom. While continental car brands are more expensive than others, they also tend to have quality, high-powered engines, luxurious designs, and advanced features.\u00a0\n\n\nDue to the larger engines found in many luxury continental cars, they also tend to have higher fuel consumption. Some popular continental car brands include BMW, \nMercedes-Benz\n, \nVolkswagen\n, \nMini\n, and \nAudi\n.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nPre-owned Cars Misconceptions Busted\n\n\n3. What Car Body Style Would Fit Your Needs?\n\n\nOne important factor to consider before buying a car is the body type of the car that best fits your needs. The ideal car needs to have enough passenger room and cargo space, and also be able to handle\u00a0\n\n\nSedan\n\n\nA \nsedan\n or saloon is the most traditional type of car. It typically has four doors, seating for five people, and a decently sized boot. These characteristics make the sedan a great all-rounder as it\u2019s able to fit almost anyone\u2019s needs. Sedans also have a lower center of gravity which allows them to be stable on the road, especially when taking corners. Further contributing to the versatility of sedans is their wide range of sizes. From the compact Perodua Bezza to the spacious Honda Accord, you can\u2019t go wrong with a sedan.\n\n\nHatchback\n\n\nA typical \nhatchback\n has similar passenger space as a sedan but with a squared-off rear roof resulting in smaller boot space. A hatchback is great for city and short-distance driving as it has a compact size making it easy to maneuver in traffic and tight spaces.\u00a0\n\n\nBeing compact and lightweight, hatchbacks also tend to have good fuel economy, which is why cars like the Perodua Axia and Myvi are so popular in Malaysia. Other hatchbacks worth checking out include the Proton Iriz, Suzuki Swift, and Toyota Yaris.\n\n\nSports Utility Vehicle (SUV)\n\n\nSUVs\n have been all the rage in recent years thanks to their spaciousness and higher ground clearance. Many drivers also like the commanding view of the road that comes with the tall ride height of an SUV. However, since many SUVs are heavy and have a higher center of gravity, they tend to have higher fuel consumption and are less stable when taking corners at speed.\u00a0\n\n\nWhile most modern SUVs are designed for city driving, some, such as the Subaru Forester can handle light off-roading. Popular SUVs include the Honda HR-V, Honda CR-V, and Mazda CX-5.\n\n\nMulti-Purpose Vehicle (MPV)\n\n\nMPVs\n are people carriers and are designed to carry six or more passengers without sacrificing comfort. With their large passenger and cargo space, MPVs are perfect for large families or for families who go on frequent road trips and value their luggage space.\u00a0\n\n\nYou could even fit an extra monitor or two in an MPV so your rear passengers can enjoy their favorite shows while on the road. MPVs range from more budget-friendly options like the Proton Exora to luxury vehicles such as the Toyota Alphard.\n\n\nPickup Truck\n\n\nPickup trucks\n are the ultimate utility vehicle. They are not only designed to carry large cargo on their open cargo bed but can also handle various terrains including muddy roads and tougher off-road terrains.\u00a0\n\n\nMany pickup trucks have all-wheel or four-wheel drive to make off-road driving easier which is why they are popular with people who frequently travel out of the city. Besides the Toyota Hilux, popular pickup trucks in Malaysia include the Mitsubishi Triton and Nissan Navara.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nDifferent Car Body Styles Explained\n\n\nFind Your Ideal Car Easily with CARSOME\u2019s Car Finder Tool\n\n\nBy knowing what to consider before buying a car, we hope you can better narrow down your car choices.\u00a0\n\n\nBut to make it easier for you, we have launched CARSOME\u2019s Car Finder Tool on our website, which helps recommend the right cars for you based on your answers to three simple questions.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCARSOME\u2019s Car Finder Tool on our website \u2013 highlighted in red.\u00a0\n\n\nYou can find this tool on our website\u2019s homepage.

Some common problems include bad starter motors, seized engines, dead batteries, and corroded hoses that are all affected by time and the environment.

The positive terminal has either a red cover or a \u201c+\u201d symbol on it.\n\n\nConnect the black clamp to the negative terminal of the live car\u2019s battery.

If the engine does not start, keep the other car running for a few more minutes and try again.\n\n\nOnce the car starts, remove the clamps in reverse order, black clamp from the grounded surface, black clamp from the good battery\u2019s negative post, red clamp from the dead battery, red clamp from the good battery.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCar Battery Replacement\n\n\nA dead car battery is the next most common reason why your car won\u2019t start. You can easily solve this problem by replacing your car battery with a new one.\n\n\n\n\nHere are the steps:\n\n\n\n\nRemove the \nold car battery\n by removing the negative cable from the negative terminal (the one with the \u201c-\u201d sign and remove the positive one from the positive terminal (the one with the \u201c+\u201d). If you are using a metal tool, make sure it does not get in contact with the terminal as that can cause a spark.\n\n\nLoosen the battery hold-down, connectors, and/or fasteners that secure the battery in place.\u00a0\nLift the battery out and in a safe spot.\n\n\nUsing a skinny wire brush and some water or baking soda, clean the clamps before you add the new battery. Try to remove any corrosion, dirt, or debris from the clamps. You can also clean the battery terminals to clear it of build-up.\n\n\nPut the new battery into the holder and secure the battery.\n\n\nReconnect the positive terminal and the negative terminal.\n\n\nTest your car by cranking up the engine or turning on the electronics.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nReplace Your Petrol\n\n\nJust like milk, your petrol can also turn bad if it is left for too long. Petrol has a shelf-life of about six months, so do take note of the last time you filled up your tank. If you need to replace the petrol in your tank, here is how you can do it:\n\n\n\n\nUsing a fuel transfer pump, slide the pump\u2019s hose into the gas tank\u2019s input opening behind the filler cap and pump a small amount of petrol into a clear container.\n\n\nLet the petrol sit for approximately five minutes so it can settle.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you see the petrol separating into discernible layers or contains particulates, that means it has gone bad.\n\n\nRemove as much as possible using the pump and replace it with new petrol.\n\n\nYou will likely have to crank up your engine a few times to flush out the remaining petrol through the system.\n\n\n\n\nRead also: \nLatest Petrol Price in Malaysia\n\n\nChange Your Starter Motor\n\n\nIf your car still does not start after your have jump started it or replaced its battery, you might need to change the starter motor. As placements differ according to car model, you\u2019ll have to do a little investigative homework to determine the starter motor location and what you need to do to replace it.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDisconnect the battery terminals and locate the engine\u2019s starter motor using your car\u2019s manual or by looking for official guides online.\n\n\nRemove any parts necessary to access the starter motor. Take a picture of the parts in their original location before disconnecting so that you remember where to put them back after.\n\n\nDisconnect any connections running to the starter motor.\u00a0\n\n\nRemove the starter motor and replace it with a new one.\n\n\nReconnect any connections to the new starter that you removed from the old starter and replace any parts you removed to access the starter.\n\n\nReconnect the battery terminals and crank up the engine. It might not fire right away, so you might want to give it a few tries until it starts.\n\n\n\n\nAs the old adage goes, \nprevention is better than cure\n. In this case, the best thing for you to do is to maintain your car even though you are not driving it as often.\n\n\nHow to Maintain a Non-Moving Car\n\n\n1. Start Your Car Once A Week\n\n\nIf you have not driven your car all week, you are advised to start the engine and leave it running for 10 minutes. This is to keep your car\u2019s battery charged and ensure that the car\u2019s alternators and other components function properly. Do not turn on the air conditioner or car infotainment system during this period to maximize the battery charging process.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Clean the Interior of Your Car\n\n\nMake sure no trash or food waste is left inside your car especially if you leave your car for a long period of time. This not only invites pests such as cockroaches and ants, it also causes an unpleasant foul odor that could linger on in your car. In warm and humid climates such as we have here in Malaysia, car interiors could be susceptible to molding. Having a dehumidifier in your car could help to keep your car mold-free.\n\n\n3. Increase Air Pressure of Tires\n\n\nLeaving your car for long periods of time can cause flat-spotting of the tires. Flat-spotting causes the tires to lose its shape and this will cause your steering wheel to vibrate when you drive. To prevent this from happening, increase the air pressure by 3 PSI if you are not planning to drive your car for a long time. You can also drive your car forward and backward once every few days to rotate the tires to avoid the risk of flat-spotting.\n\n\n\n\nWe hope that this guide has helped you become more informed on how to maintain your car during this lockdown period. The most important thing to do is to keep your car \u201calive\u201d by starting it every week and if you were unable to, we hope that the tips to re-start your car have helped.

Here's What's Causing It", "Is Your ABS Light On? Here\u2019s What\u2019s Causing It", "By\n \nDevan S", "02/03/2023", "\n\n\n\n\n", "ABS (anti-lock braking system) is one of the most important and ubiquitous \nsafety features\n in modern vehicles. Almost all modern cars have it save for the most budget of models, making it almost as important as seatbelts. ABS typically kicks in during emergencies to ensure that the tires don\u2019t lock up while braking, preventing the car from skidding and getting into an accident. While most car owners would have no problems with their ABS, there\u2019s still a chance it can malfunction. And that is when the ABS warning light comes on.\u00a0\n\n\nSo what could cause the ABS light to come on, and is it dangerous to keep driving with it on? Let\u2019s find out.\n\n\n\n\nWhat is ABS?\n\n\nThe anti-lock braking system or ABS is the system that prevents the driver from locking the car\u2019s brakes and wheels, especially in emergency situations. If you apply excessive pressure on the brakes, such as in an emergency, it can cause the wheels and axles to stop rotating completely. With the wheels locked up and the car still moving at high speed, your vehicle could lose control and skid off the road or into oncoming traffic.\u00a0\n\n\nWhen the driver presses the car\u2019s brakes, ABS monitors the wheels\u2019 rotation to detect if they\u2019re going to slip. If it detects a slip, the system will pump the brakes at certain intervals to prevent the wheels from locking up, thus reducing the risk of the car skidding or sliding off the road.\u00a0\n\n\nGenerally, ABS doesn\u2019t stop the car faster or display improved braking performance. Rather, it\u2019s an automatic system that helps us better control the braking in emergencies so we can still maneuver the car and avoid a collision.\n\n\nRead More: \nMalfunctions in Car Safety Features and How to Check Them Before It\u2019s Too Late!\n\n\nWhy is Your ABS Warning Light On?\n\n\nThe ABS warning light on the car dashboard usually indicates a problem with the ABS. However, other issues unrelated to the ABS can also cause the light to come on such as problems with related components or sensors.\u00a0\n\n\n1. Non-functional ABS Module\n\n\nProblems with the ABS module are among the most common things that cause the ABS light to come on. A corroded ABS module prevents the system from receiving information from the speed sensors on the car\u2019s tires, ultimately causing the \nwarning light\n to come on. Additionally, the ABS shares several important components with the vehicle\u2019s traction control system (TCS) which functions to ensure all four wheels of the car rotate smoothly.\n\n\nIf the TCS detects a problem, such as irregular wheel rotation, it will cut off power from the engine until the traction returns to normal. Because both systems use the same control module and diagnostic system, damage to the TCS can affect the ABS as well. This means that any problem with the TCS can cause the ABS light to come on. Therefore, it\u2019s a good idea to also check the TCS in your car if the ABS light is on.\n\n\nRead More: \nA Guide to Car Warning Lights Part 2\n\n\nSymptoms of a Malfunctioning ABS Module:\n\n\n\n\nThe brake pedal becomes less responsive over time, whereby you need to press the brake pedal harder to stop the car.\n\n\nThe check engine light can come on since a fault in the ABS can be stored in the engine control module, triggering the check engine light.\n\n\nA clicking or cracking sound, especially when pressing the brakes.\n\n\nThe brakes lock up during regular driving.\n\n\n\n\n2. Low Brake Fluid\n\n\nThe brake fluid plays a crucial role in the vehicle\u2019s braking system, especially in controlling the brake pressure in the anti-lock brake system. A hydraulic brake system, for example, transfers force through the brake fluid to the brake pads, causing the brake pads to grip the brake rotors, thus stopping the car.\u00a0\n\n\nTherefore, you need adequate brake fluid to ensure the brakes function properly. Brake fluid leaks are a common issue that can trigger the ABS light, and while the light might be annoying, having low brake fluid is dangerous as it may reduce your car\u2019s stopping power or cause your \nbrakes to fail\n altogether.\n\n\nSymptoms of Low Brake Fluid\n\n\n\n\nThe brakes become less responsive, causing the car to take longer to stop.\n\n\nA scraping or grinding sound, similar to the sound produced by worn brake pads.\n\n\n\n\n3. Malfunctioning Vehicle Speed Sensor\n\n\nModern car wheels are equipped with a speed sensor that monitors the wheels\u2019 rotation and sends information about each wheel\u2019s rotational speed to the ABS. If the speed sensor detects one of the tires moving at an abnormal speed, the system will increase the brake pressure on that tire, allowing the tire to move at a normal speed, just like the other tires. In other words, it will maintain the speed of all tires.\n\n\nHowever, if there\u2019s any issue with the speed sensor, such as dirt or damage, it may not function well, affecting its ability to transmit such critical information to the ABS, causing the ABS light to come on.\u00a0\n\n\nSymptoms of a Malfunctioning Speed Sensor\n\n\n\n\nThe traction control light illuminates.\n\n\nThe car takes a long time to stop, even though the ABS warning light is not on.\n\n\nThe car loses control or traction, especially when braking hard.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Unresponsive Hydraulic Pump or Valve\n\n\nThe ABS controls the wheel speed via the hydraulic brake system. If one of the car tires moves at a different speed than the others, the speed sensor will detect it and alert the ABS. It will then activate the hydraulic brake pump to increase the brake fluid pressure to balance the tires\u2019 speed allowing the tires to maintain traction on the road surface.\n\n\nHowever, if the hydraulic pump or valve is damaged and not functioning properly, the ABS can\u2019t do its job, causing the ABS warning light to illuminate. Both of these components are usually worn or damaged due to dirt or metal shavings in the brake fluid. That\u2019s why you should always check the brake \nfluid level\n and condition every time you service your car\u2019s brakes.\n\n\nSymptoms of a Malfunctioning Hydraulic Pump/Valve\n\n\n\n\nReduced brake performance that can worsen over time.\n\n\nInconsistent brake performance \u2013 sometimes good and sometimes weak.\n\n\nBrake fluid leakage from the master cylinder or firewall in the engine bay.\n\n\nIf there\u2019s a leak, air will enter the brake system causing the brakes to feel spongy.\n\n\n\n\n5. Blown Fuse\n\n\nThe ABS light comes on if there\u2019s a malfunction in the system. This includes blown fuses and damaged wires connecting the speed sensor and controller. Like any other electrical component in a car, the ABS is equipped with its own fuse \u2013 and fuses are prone to blowing up. If the fuse blows, the system will send a warning signal that usually activates both the ABS light and the engine warning light. Therefore, it\u2019s a good idea to check your fuse first if you notice both warning lights are illuminated.\n\n\nMake sure the fuse is not blown or burnt before spending time inspecting other parts of your car or replacing unrelated components. On most modern cars, you\u2019ll find the fuse box in the engine bay.\n\n\nRead More: \nStop Driving On An Almost-empty Fuel Tank Or Risk Damaging Your Fuel Pump\n\n\nIs It Safe to Drive When the ABS Warning Light Is On?\n\n\nIn general, you can still continue driving even if your car\u2019s ABS light is on. This is because your car\u2019s brakes still function as usual and can still slow your vehicle down. However, your car\u2019s tires are at risk of getting locked under heavy braking and that limits your maneuverability in emergencies. Therefore, you should always try to fix the issue as soon as possible if your ABS light comes on.\n\n\nWhat to Do When the ABS Light Comes On?\n\n\nThe ABS light indicates an issue with the ABS and in some instances, the braking system. Therefore, if you notice the light illuminating while driving, you should drive more carefully and avoid aggressive braking. Find a safe place to park your car and turn off the engine for a moment. Then, restart your engine.\n\n\nJust like any other electrical equipment (your computer or phone), restarting the system allows it to recheck all the sensors giving it a chance to detect any damage or abnormalities with the ABS. This method can usually help fix the ABS light issue. However, in some cases, it may not work. If the light is still on after you restart your car, Drive to a nearby workshop so a mechanic can inspect your car and give you a solution on how to fix the ABS light problem. Remember to drive slowly and avoid heavy braking to be safe.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhile an illuminated ABS light is rarely a good thing, there are times when it routinely lights up. Here\u2019s when the ABS light should and shouldn\u2019t light up.\u00a0\n\n\nNormal: ABS Light Comes On and Off After Switching on the Car Battery\n\n\nThe ABS system will perform a self-check every time you start your car. After you turn on the engine, the ABS light will illuminate for a few seconds before turning off. However, if the ABS light is on longer than usual, it\u2019s highly likely that your car\u2019s ABS is experiencing a problem that requires immediate attention.\n\n\nAbnormal: ABS Light Suddenly Comes On While Driving\n\n\nAs mentioned above, an ABS light that illuminates while you\u2019re driving often signifies an issue with the ABS or braking system. That said, you can still carefully drive your car to get it checked at a nearby workshop.\u00a0\n\n\nIf, however, the ABS light comes on along with the brake warning light, it\u2019s a sure sign that you have an issue with your brakes. When this happens, you shouldn\u2019t continue driving but instead, park at a safe spot and get a tow truck to tow your car to the nearest workshop to get it checked. Driving with the brake warning light on is very risky and could lead to an accident as your brakes could fail at any time.\n\n\nTrade-In Your Car at CARSOME for a RM1,500 Rebate\n\n\nThe warning lights on your dashboard are there to alert you of any issues in your car.

With temperatures reaching up to 34 degrees Celsius, the scorching weather can take a toll on your car\u2019s exterior and interior, especially if your car is parked out in the open under direct sunlight.\n\n\n\n\nHow Can the Sun & Heat Affect Your Car Maintenance?\n\n\nMaking sure your car\u2019s interior and exterior are well-maintained is the key to keeping its worth over time. You may think your car is already in its best condition because of \nregular servicing\n, but the heat from the sun can severely damage your car. Here are some examples of damage your car may face from the sun.\n\n\n\n\nThe paint starts to fade or dries up and begins to flake.\n\n\nCracks start to form in the dashboard, seats, and steering wheel.\n\n\nThe interior upholstery and carpets start fading their original color.\n\n\nBelts, as well as hoses in and around the engine start to break and detach.\n\n\nFluid levels in the engine dry up.\n\n\nTires start losing air pressure.\n\n\nAirbags, which are one of the major safety systems in a car, become faulty due to extreme heat.\n\n\n\n\nFaded upholstery or cracked and damaged interior features can affect the resale value of your car later on when you decide to sell it.\u00a0\n\n\nOn the other hand, faulty airbags, or low-pressure tires due to the heat from the sun can put you and others in the car at risk of injury or death in the event of an accident.\n\n\n\n\nHere\u2019s How You Can Protect Your Car From the Scorching Sun\n\n\nCars also need protection from the harmful UV rays that the sun emits. So, here are some practical ways you can protect your car during hot, humid days.\n\n\nHow to Protect the Exterior of Your Car\n\n\n\n\nPark your car under the shade:\n\u00a0 Look for a shaded parking lot as it will definitely help your car cool down and keep the paintwork from fading off or flaking.\n\n\nWash, wax, and polish your car: \nWashing your car frequently helps get rid of dirt, debris, and even dried dead bugs that might be stuck to the external surface due to the heat. Waxing and polishing are basically similar to giving your car sunscreen to protect it from harmful rays. It not only protects the paintwork but also gives your car added protection from the sun.\n\n\nCheck your tire pressure:\n If your car has been under the sun for a long time, the chances of your tires blowing out is high due to increased heat and temperature. So, before you drive out, get your tires checked if they are inflated or lack air pressure.\n\n\nCooling system: C\nar engines are known to perform well under high temperatures but there are chances of it getting overheated. If this happens, your engine and the metal components around it can get damaged, leading to a costly repair. Most cars have an in-built cooling system but this heatwave might override that.. So, do get your car checked occasionally and add in the coolant if needed.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Protect the Interior of Your Car\n\n\n\n\nWindshield protectors: \nWindshield protectors are one of the best ways to protect your dashboard and the steering wheel from cracking due to the sun. It will act as a protective barrier against the sun and the front interior of your car. The windshield protector can also lower down the temperature in the cabin if the car is parked under the sun.\n\n\nGet your car windows tinted:\n Tinted windows are known to block thermal rays that sunlight passes heat into your car. Some tints can block up to 70 percent of heat from entering your car\u2019s cabin but do check the Road Transport Department (JPJ)\u2019s regulations for the legal percentage of tinting you are allowed to apply on your car.\n\n\nUse seat covers:\n Not only do seat covers help keep your seat clean from unwanted stains but these covers also protect your seats from wear and tear while keeping your seat cool under the scorching hot sun.\n\n\nLeave your windows down a little: \nIf you have no choice but to leave your car under the sun, you should wind down your windows to circulate air within. This can help reduce the internal temperature of your car and prevent damages to, your upholstery as well as dashboard.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProtect Yourself & Your Car From the Current Heatwave\n\n\nCars are not built to be sunproof and neither are you. So,\u00a0 take care of yourself by keeping hydrated and protect your car from the sun. With this, this heat will not turn into a hefty repair bill for your car. Always remember, prevention is always better than cure!\n\n\nRead Also\n: \nHow to Maintain Your Car During MCO\n\n\nFor any other used car services and news, do check Carsome out!

If you are caught driving without a valid license, you could be fined by the police or JPJ officers. Below we list some frequently asked questions about driving licenses in Malaysia.\n\n\nWhat happens if I forget to renew my license?\n\n\nIf you get caught driving with an expired driving license, a fine will be imposed. The amount that you will have to pay up depends on how long your driving license has expired. Here are the penalties for driving with an expired license.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuration of License Expiry\n\n\nPenalty\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1 \u2013 15 days\n\n\nRM150\n\n\n\n\n\n\n16 \u2013 30 days\n\n\nRM200\n\n\n\n\n\n\n31 \u2013 60 days\n\n\nRM300\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCan I renew an expired driving license?\n\n\nYes, you can renew your license as usual by visiting the post office or JPJ offices as well as on MyEG. However, If your driving license has expired for three years or more, it becomes totally invalid. You can no longer renew it and you will have to go through the whole hassle of getting a new license from the very beginning. Here is what you need to do:\n\n\nIf you try to renew your driving license after three years, you will have to go to the nearest JPJ office where you will be issued an eRayuan letter to obtain the \u201cL\u201d driving license (where you will have to pay RM 30). Then, you will have to re-sit the practical driving test. \n\n\nOnce you pass these examinations, you still won\u2019t be able to get your full license and will be given a two-year probationary license (P License). So to avoid all this, do check your license regularly to make sure it hasn\u2019t expired.\n\n\nHow do I convert my Probationary Driving License (PDL) to a Full Competent Driving License (CDL)?\n\n\nTo convert your PDL to a CDL, you need to visit a JPJ office. The process can take as little as a few minutes and requires you to:\n\n\n\n\nVisit your nearest JPJ office.\n\n\nFill in form JPJ L1.\n\n\nGet a number and wait for your turn.\n\n\nAt the counter, notify the officer that you want to convert your P license to a Full license.\n\n\nProvide your MyKad and P license, and state the license validity that you want (between one to five years)\n\n\nYou can provide a white background photo of yourself measuring 25 mm x 32 mm if you wish to change the picture on the license.\n\n\n\n\nCan I renew my expired PDL?\n\n\nThe P license has a validity of one and you can renew it within a year of its expiry date. If your P license has expired for more than a year, you need to send an appeal to JPJ to renew it.\n\n\nHow long does a Learner Driving License (LDL) last?\n\n\nYour L license needs to be renewed every three or six months while you are still learning to drive. However, its validity cannot exceed two aggregate years from the date the license was issued. If your L license exceeds two years, you will need to repeat all your classes and tests to acquire a new L license.\n\n\nWe hope this article will prove useful the next time you need to renew your driving license. To prevent your license from expiring, try to check its expiry date every once in a while and you\u2019ll surely be able to stay out of trouble.\u00a0\n\n\nChoose Carsome Certified for Peace of Mind\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a quality \npre-owned car\n,\n check out the large selection of cars at Carsome.

Since its announcement by Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke last year, the ministry has been conducting awareness programmes throughout 2019 for public education before the mandatory requirement on 1\nst\n January 2020.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAs an official guide to the new mandate, the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) has developed and released the \nBuku Garis Panduan Kerusi Keselamatan Kanak-Kanak di Malaysia\n (Child Restraint System Guideline in Malaysia). In this article, we will cover the requirements stated in the guidebook, as well as detail the important things to note when selecting a Child Restraint System (CRS) seat for your child.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCertified and Approved Child Restraint System Labels\n\n\n\n\nMalaysia\u2019s membership to the World Forum for Harmonisation of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) and signing of the 1958 Agreement \u2013 requires the certification process for each approval of technical standards on products or automotive systems.\n\n\nHence, under the contracting state of WP.29, Malaysia has the obligation to proclaim the UN Rules into the national legislation namely the Motor Vehicles Rule (construction and use) 1959 under the Malaysian Road Transport Act 1987.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThere are two approved child restraint systems under the UN Regulation.\n\n\n\n\nUN Regulation No. 44\n\n\n\n\nThese CRS systems are classified into five weight groups. For children up to 13 kg, the CRS are rearward facing. For groups up to 18 kg, these CRS systems have integrated harness system or impact shield that uses the passenger 3-point seat belt. Heavier children up to 36 kg will mostly use the vehicle\u2019s safety belt for restraining.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nUN Regulation No. 129\n\n\n\n\nThe CRS systems under UN Regulation No. 129 are called \u201ci-Size\u201d systems classified according to the size of the child. Rearward facing systems are mandatory for new-borns up to 15 months old. \u201ci-Size\u201d CRS uses the ISOFIX anchorage points and either a top tether or a support leg for enhanced stability. These systems can be used universally on seats marked with the \u201ci-Size\u201d symbol. The approved label also indicates the suitable weight of the child.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAn example of rear seats with top tether anchors.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAs seen above, MIROS has indicated the label examples that have the UN Regulation certificate of approval from Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) through the UN Type Approval \u2013 E52.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nFurthermore, MIROS will include specific QR Labels that will provide a more detailed guide on use, marketing and enforcement of the product.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nTypes of Child Car Seats\n\n\nThere are several things to note when getting a car seat for your child. While most car seats usually come with an age bracket, it is more important to know the weight and size of your child because all children are different. Additionally, do take the measurements of the seat to see if it is the right size for your car.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRearward Facing Seats\n\n\n\n\nInfants up to the age of 2 should only be seated in seats that face the rear. Seats such as these provide better protection for the baby\u2019s head, neck and spine compared to the forward-facing types. Should you want to put your child at the front passenger seat, do ensure that your vehicle is able to deactivate the front passenger airbag for safety.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nForward Facing Seats\n\n\n\n\nThese seats come with harnesses that limit the child\u2019s forward movement in the seat should there be an accident. Similarly, there are also tether straps that can be hooked to the back of the rear passenger seat. The MIROS guidebook states that most vehicles sold in Malaysia after 2015 come with ISOFIX points at the rear seats and top-tether points as standard for your child\u2019s seat.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBooster Seats\n\n\n\n\nThe purpose for booster seats is for children who have outgrown the child seat but aren\u2019t fully able to use the seat belt yet. These seats come in ages for 4 to 12 and should go across the child\u2019s pelvis, chest and shoulder. The lap belt should go over the pelvic region with the diagonal over the shoulder and not the neck.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThis image description from Volvo Cars showcase the two symbols associated with ISOFIX.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nMIROS Installation Guide According to Child Car Seat Type\n\n\n\n\nKeep an eye out for warnings such as these and deactivate your airbag when required.\n\n\nRearward Facing Seats\n\n\n\n\nChild Car Seats in the Group 0/0+ must be placed and installed facing the rear.\n\n\nRearward facing seats must not be placed in the front passenger seat that has an active airbag (An active airbag is one that cannot be deactivated).\n\n\nRearward facing seats can only be installed at the front passenger seat IF the vehicle does not have a front passenger airbag OR when it can be disabled. Refer to the vehicle manual to disable the airbag.\n\n\nA 3 point or 5-point harness has to be used for Group 0/0+ according to the type of car seat.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nForward Facing Seats\n\n\n\n\nForward facing seats are encouraged to be placed at the rear passenger seats.\n\n\nIf it is necessary to place the child seat at the front, adjust the car seat furthermost from the airbag (according to the vehicle manual).\n\n\nFor Group 1 child seats, the 5-point harness that comes included with the seat must be used.\n\n\nFor Group 2 child seats, it is encouraged to use a 5-point harness.\n\n\nFor Group 3 child seats, the 3-point seat belt must be used together with the seat.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nClick here to download\n the MIROS Child Restraint System Guideline.

Other than that, you should also ensure that the water level in the necessary areas are filled up, replace the front and back wipers if they are not functioning smoothly, check the brake light and all the other lights if they need changes and lastly, remove any dust and dirt that might be stuck to the inner parts of your car. These changes can be great selling points to increase the chances of your car being bought over at a higher price.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0 \nExamine your tire\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDo ensure that the air pressure in all your 5 tires are enough and if these tires are in bad condition, you should totally get new ones. Or you can replace them with good quality used tires that can also be found on sale. But do ensure that the elements of safety when it comes to tires are complied with.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExamine the body of your car\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThough a little dent and scratch might not do anything to your driving style, but it surely has a big impact on your car\u2019s resale value. If your finances allow it, you should touch up your car\u2019s body so that there are no more dents or scratches. But if you are on a budget, you can always \n\u201cDIY\u201d to fix these details.\n\n\nWash the old into a NEW\n\n\nOther than your engine, your tires and the body of the car, some of the other things you should take into consideration to hike up the resale value of your car is to clean up the insides of your car. Stash away all your personal belongings that you have in your car like your shoes, clothes, GPS, cables, and wires, among others. Ensure all these things are out of your car before you drive it up to your nearest dealership. A neat and clean car is not only pleasant to the eye but speaks a lot about your personality and character as well.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClean the insides of your car\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVacuum away the nasties, the dust, and the hidden dirt from all the nooks and corners of your car including the dashboard. You can also go one level higher and hire a deep cleaning service to wash your car\u2019s seat that is surely filled with stubborn dirt, mold, food droppings, and or even your baby\u2019s puke.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWash and shine your car\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBefore you drive up to the nearest dealership to get your car sold off, you should send your car for wash and polish. When your car is clean from the inside and shines like a diamond on the outside, it makes everyone happy. For extra brownie points, spray some car refresher for some final touches before you send in your car for evaluation. Who knows, that refreshing scent might just be your shining light in getting a higher price for your car (just kidding).\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFix up the minor details\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnother thing that you can do is repair all the minor hookups that your car might have like cleaning up the oil stains from the door hinges, ensure the audio system is functioning well, or even checking if the seatbelt is functioning smoothly. These small details will surely help you sell off your beloved car at a higher price.\n\n\n\n\nIf you do all of the above and want the best price for your car, you should sell your car at Carsome. Carsome is a one-stop website that provides selling and buying services and you will definitely be offered a price that no one else will be able to offer you for your car.

These spare parts are usually the safest option because these items are intended for the specific car model and come with the manufacturer\u2019s guarantee. The only downside is these parts are generally the most expensive type.\u00a0\n\n\nAuthorized service centers tend to use genuine spare parts when they service or repair your car. For example, you can expect genuine parts at a Honda or Proton service center.\n\n\nOEM Spare Parts\n: \nOEM refers to Original Equipment Manufacturer and these spare parts are usually supplied by an external manufacturer. \nIn the debate of OEM versus original spare parts, the answer is \u2013 they are identical except for the fact that OEM parts are manufactured by a different party and packaged in a box with the name of the OEM manufacturer.\u00a0\n\n\nThat said, many OEM manufacturers actually supply the parts to automakers for use in their cars.\n OEM spare parts usually cost less than genuine spare parts. At times, you can use them without invalidating the car\u2019s warranty.\u00a0\n\n\nAlso Read: \n5 Cheap Car Accessories from Daiso to Spruce up Your Car\n\n\nAftermarket Spare Parts\n: \nAftermarket spare parts are also called replacement or pattern parts that are designed for cars as a more affordable alternative to genuine spare parts. Aftermarket companies or manufacturers would frequently buy the rights to manufacture spare parts using a template (pattern) from the original manufacturer.\u00a0\n\n\nSome aftermarket car parts are designed to provide extra performance and durability, and are preferred by users intending to modify their cars. That said, aftermarket spare parts range from budget-friendly to performance-oriented, so the quality differs based on the company that manufactures them and what they are intended for.\n\n\n\n\nWhat Exactly Are Fake Car Parts?\n\n\nOriginal Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and aftermarket companies make spare parts for cars in accordance with the safety and quality standards of the automotive industry. Fake parts, on the other hand, are usually made with subpar materials and have a lower build quality. They may look and feel like real parts and are labeled as genuine or OEM but they just don\u2019t have the quality.\u00a0\n\n\nSince most of these parts are way cheaper than the original ones, they do not comply with the safety standards set by the industry to lower the cost of production, hence putting more drivers at risk.\n\n\n\n\nSo, How Are These Fake Car Spare Parts Dangerous?\n\n\nSince the fake parts do not meet the safety and quality standards of the automotive industry, having these parts in your car can lead to breakdowns, engine failures, and even accidents. Here are some of the dangers of using different fake spare parts.\n\n\nEngine Failure or Fire\n\n\nimage source: Toyota\n\n\nParts like spark plugs, serpentine belts, valves, oil filters, etc. are just some of the vital parts for the engine and the drivetrain to perform properly. \nFake car parts may not fit well with your engine and might wear out faster,\u00a0 which can not only lead to engine failures but also short circuits and fires.\n\n\nWindshield Related Injuries\n\n\nWindshields\n that are recommended by OEMs follow a certain safety standard such as the load-bearing capacity. This is the maximum ability of a material (in this case the windshield) \nto take a load before it breaks or fails\n.\u00a0\n\n\nCounterfeit windshields that do not follow these safety standards might just crack or break under load which can be really dangerous to the occupants in the car. Fake windshield wipers would also not work as effectively as an original one during a heavy downpour as many fake windshield wipers are not designed to exactly match the curve and shape of your windshield. \n\n\nBrake Failure\n\n\n\n\nimage source: Hyundai\n\n\nA brake pad is an essential part of the brake system in a car. A fake brake pad is known to wear out unevenly and rather quickly compared to an original brake pad. While that might only be an additional unwanted cost to your overall service, some \nfake brake pads\n with poor-quality materials would cause noisy brakes.\u00a0\n\n\nBrake pads\n can accumulate dust as they wear, which, if allowed to build excessively, may cause excessive vibration, reduced performance, and squealing when the brake is applied or let off. Compared to original and OEM products, fake brake pads can wear faster or fail suddenly leading to \nbrake failure which can be really dangerous.\n\n\nCompromised Structural Integrity\n\n\nFake body panels do not align or match well with the crumple zones and pillars of a car. In the event of a collision, the body panels that do not sit well can pose a threat by getting severely dented and harming the occupants of the car.\n\n\nReduced Tires\u2019 Stringency\n\n\nimage source: \nChinadaily.com\n\n\nTires are one the most important parts of a car because they hold the weight of the car and are the only component that has direct contact with the road.\n \nFake tires\n tend to lose composure especially under high loads and have bad tire treads which can be really hazardous especially at high speeds.\n\n\nWith so much risk involved when using counterfeit spare parts, how can you make sure your spare parts are genuine? Let\u2019s find out!\n\n\n\n\n6 Ways to Spot A Fake Car Part\n\n\nimage source: \nnst.com.my\n\n\nSince counterfeit car parts are everywhere, here are some of the tell-tale signs of a counterfeit product.\n\n\n1. Packaging\n\n\nFake products are usually packed in cheap, \nflimsy packaging compared to authentic spare parts that are packed in high-quality packaging and shipped with care\n. To spot a fake, compare packages and study the small detailing like the printing, the material of the box, its thickness, etc.\n\n\n2. Serial Numbers or Holograms\n\n\nAll OEM manufacture parts with their own specific serial numbers or holograms which can be used to trace it back to the original manufacturer. Some OEM serial numbers might be printed in high quality straight on the box or on the spare part itself while a fake would have the numbers on a sticker.\n\n\n3. Typos\n\n\nLook closely at the printing on both the package and the instructions. If there are typos, grammatical errors, or misspellings, inspect the part carefully. It may be a counterfeit.\n\n\n4. Incomplete Instructions\n\n\nWhen you read the instruction manual of a spare part, make sure it makes sense. A counterfeit spare part would usually have a missing step, a missing diagram, a confusing sentence, or even a wrong diagram.\n\n\n5. Mismatched Parts\n\n\nCompare the new part that you bought to the old part and look out for differences in color, weight, changes in dimension, etc. OEM and genuine car parts tend to have consistent build quality. So a simple difference like mismatched fasteners might also be a sign of a fake spare part.\n\n\n6. Cheaper Price\n\n\nGenuine spare parts are usually costlier because of their quality. So, if you are sold a spare part at a price that is extremely cheap, the chances for it to be fake are extremely high. Most genuine parts also come with a warranty package, so do ask for the warranty details when you purchase a spare part.\n\n\n\n\nAvoid Fakes & Deal with Trusted Mechanics, Repair Shops, or Reputable Suppliers\n\n\n\n\nIf you get your spare parts from a mechanic or a repair shop, always deal with highly regarded suppliers because they have a reputation to protect and would not tarnish it with fake parts. \nYou can either bring your car to an authorized service center or check online on the manufacturer\u2019s official website for a list of suppliers who sell genuine spare parts.\u00a0\n\n\nYou can also find mechanics \nwho are licensed to sell genuine or OEM parts so you don\u2019t have to worry about your car being fixed with fake parts. If you\u2019re sourcing the parts yourself such as by looking for genuine Proton parts online, make sure you purchase from reputable sellers.\n\n\nWe hope you now know more about finding genuine parts for your car including what OEM means and how to better spot fake parts\n. Since counterfeit or fake spare parts are designed to replicate \ngenuine \nparts, differentiating a fake one from a real one can be a real hassle. With cheap fake spare parts, you might think you are saving in terms of \ncost\n.\u00a0\n\n\nThe actual truth is, you would be spending more money on frequent repairs and replacements, not to mention how hazardous they can be. So, at the end of the day, always remember the clich\u00e9 statement \u201cif it\u2019s too good to be true, it probably is\u201d as this rings especially true when it comes to fake spare parts.\n\n\nAlso Read: \nSwitching up Your Car Engine: Can You Do it in Malaysia Legally?\n\n\n\n\nGet Quality, Honest Service at CARSOME Service Center\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a reputable service center to service or repair your car, check out the \nCARSOME Service Center\n.

You've stuck us in a jam!\"\n\n\n\n\n\n    Does the above sound familiar? They are usually uttered in the car by your passengers; better known as 'back-seat drivers'. But don't get us wrong, no. Not all passengers are back-seat drivers, and not all passengers are 'bad' back-seat drivers. There are good suggestions, and bad ones. Those that need to navigate the driver, and the others. Yet in all this, the driver becomes the one in the middle of the conversation and arguments, bringing risk to the drive, and worse, distracting the driver.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Distracted driving is a major issue that spreads around the world, most of the attention today has been directed at drivers and mobile phones. Yet, one of the top distractions may be the passengers. Researchers have found that passenger's behaviour is just as crucial as the driver\u2019s when it comes to safety. An \nearly study\n showed that drivers with passengers were 60 per cent more likely to have a crash resulting in serious injury compared to when driving alone. Passengers play an important role as they can influence driver behaviours both positively and negatively. For example, while women may not be perpetrators of risky driving, the presence of a man in the passenger\u2019s seat was more likely to cause women to practice risky driving than if traveling with another woman. Drivers also tend to be less observant and less able to anticipate hazards when there are passengers in a vehicle.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n5 Easy Pointers On Becoming A Good Passenger\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBe a helpful co-pilot\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s vital to take an active role during the driver by navigating, answering the phone, warning of approaching hazards and keeping the driver company.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDon\u2019t distract the driver\n\n\n\n\n\n    If you expect the driver to focus on the road, do your part to minimize distractions. Don\u2019t talk loudly on the phone, constantly change the music or comment on their driving. This may affect them mentally.\n\n\n\n\n\nStay Awake\n\n\n\n\n\n    Sleeping passengers can increase the chance of the\u00a0\ndriver falling asleep\n\u00a0\nas well. If needed, swap drivers during long journeys so everyone can take a short nap when tiredness sets in.\n\n\n\n\n\nKeep Kids Safe\n\n\n\n\n\n    Avoid meltdowns by being prepared with a snack, book or other activities for children. Your \u201cprevious cargo\u201d \u2013 everyone in your car \u2013 should be safely secured with seat belts and age-appropriate car seats to minimize distractions and maximize safety.\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeak Up\n\n\n\n\n\n    You have the right to tell drivers to stop putting your lives in danger if they are driving recklessly or engaging in risky behaviour.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    In a nutshell, instead of creating or contributing to a problem on the road, you can take more responsibility as an engaged co-pilot. Stay calm, help the driver to navigate on the road. Also remember, the next time a driver takes a wrong turn, be the perfect passenger and offer kind words and patient navigation. This ensures a safe on-the-road experience for both the driver and passenger.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nA driver's role is not to be taken lightly.

Some might confuse it with an \nelectric vehicle (EV)\n \u2013 which is not entirely wrong \u2013 but it\u2019s not an all-electric vehicle.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nOne of the main perks of hybrid cars is their fuel efficiency. If you like the idea of going on long drives without stopping to refuel, a hybrid car is a great choice to have.\u00a0\n\n\nBut how exactly does it operate and what are the advantages of owning a hybrid car? Well, just read on because we\u2019ll be covering everything you need to know. Let\u2019s get started.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat is a Hybrid Car?\n\n\nA hybrid car, which is also commonly known as a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), uses more than one means of propulsion \u2013 it combines a petrol or diesel engine with an electric motor, capturing energy via regenerative braking. Think of it this way: it\u2019s a two-in-one car, which leads to its name \u2013 hybrid.\n\n\nWith hybrid cars, you can choose to power your engine from the electric motor, the gas engine or both. Using both engines at the same time results in less petrol usage, which equals better fuel efficiency.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe electric motor of a hybrid car is powered by an additional high-voltage battery pack; this is different from a car\u2019s conventional 12-volt battery. The hybrid\u2019s battery pack is refilled by capturing energy from deceleration that is typically burned off by the brakes in petrol cars.\u00a0\n\n\nCar brands and manufacturers utilize different hybrid designs to accomplish different purposes, such as maximizing your car\u2019s fuel consumption, or reducing the overall cost of the vehicle.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nHere\u2019s a quick fun fact\n: the Toyota Prius was the first series-produced hybrid vehicle in 1997. However, hybrid drive systems are actually much older; the first car that combined petrol and electric engines was the \u201cLohner-Porsche Mixte Hybrid\u201d, built by Ferdinand Porsche. It was a 16-horsepower gasoline engine working together with a generator to provide electricity that charged the battery and turned the wheels.\n\n\nDifferent Types of Hybrid Systems\n\n\nThere are three main types of systems that hybrid cars use today which are the Parallel Hybrid, Series Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid.\u00a0\n\n\nParallel Hybrid\n\n\nThis is the most common hybrid system used by most brands, whereby the electric motor and the petrol engine are connected in a common transmission to combine both power sources. The type of transmission and the size of the petrol engine are the two main driving factors that determine how a parallel hybrid will accelerate, sound, and feel.\u00a0\n\n\nThis transmission can either be automatic, manual, or Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Common brands that use the parallel hybrid system include Toyota, Lexus, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, and Honda.\n\n\nSeries Hybrid\n\n\nIn this system, the electric motor provides the thrust, while the petrol engine recharges the battery. There is no physical mechanical connection between the engine and the petrol. This results in a driving experience that is pretty similar to an electric car with smoother, and more powerful acceleration.\u00a0\n\n\nWhen the battery is more utilized in a system, compared to its petrol counterpart, there\u2019s typically less vibration when the petrol engine starts or during acceleration.\n\n\nPlug-In Hybrid\n\n\nA plug-in hybrid adds more power to the conventional hybrid concept with a much larger battery pack. Just like an EV, this battery pack must be fully recharged using an external source \u2013 either from your home or at public charging stations.\u00a0\n\n\nThanks to the huge amount of energy stored, the plug-in hybrid has an extended all-electric driving range, which can significantly reduce the fuel consumption rate. If you deplete the all-electric power that is stored in the battery pack, the car will revert back to being a normal hybrid car.\n\n\nComponents Found in Normal Hybrid Cars\n\n\n\n\nBattery (auxiliary):\n In a hybrid car, the auxiliary battery provides electricity to start the car before the battery is engaged.\n\n\nDC/DC converter:\n This device converts higher-voltage DC power from the traction battery pack to the lower-voltage DC power required to ignite the car and recharge the auxiliary battery.\n\n\nElectric motor:\n This generates electricity from the rotating wheels while braking before transferring that energy back to the battery pack. Some cars use motor generators that perform both the drive and regeneration functions.\n\n\nExhaust system:\n The exhaust system channels the exhaust\u2019s emissions from the engine out through the tailpipe. A three-way catalyst is designed to reduce carbon emissions within the exhaust system.\n\n\nFuel filler:\n A nozzle from a fuel dispenser attaches to the receptacle on the car to fill the tank.\n\n\nFuel tank (petrol):\n This tank stores petrol in the vehicle until it is required by the engine.\n\n\nPower electronics controller:\n This unit manages the flow of electrical energy delivered by the traction battery, controlling the speed of the electric traction motor and the torque it produces.\n\n\nThermal system (cooling):\n This system maintains a proper operating temperature range of the engine, electric motor, power electronics, and other components.\n\n\nTraction battery pack:\n It stores electricity for use by the electric traction motor.\n\n\nTransmission:\n The transmission transfers mechanical power from the engine and/or electric traction motor to drive the wheels.\n\n\n\n\nWhat Types of Hybrid Cars are there?\n\n\nHybrids differ according to their levels of electrification.\n\n\n\n\nMicro Hybrid: \nMicro hybrid cars use what is known as a \u201cstart-stop system\u201d that is purely driven by the internal combustion engine (petrol engine). The regenerative braking technology helps to stop the engine when the cars come to halt and restarts it when the driver accelerates. In many driving classifications, micro hybrids are not listed as a hybrid concept as it uses only the petrol engine to power up the car.\n\n\nMild Hybrid (MHEV)\n: Mild hybrid, unlike the micro hybrid, has an electric motor in its drive system but it never works on its own as it helps the internal combustion engine boost the vehicle during acceleration. Because of the higher voltage, a mild hybrid car can recharge more braking energy compared to the micro hybrid, while these cars consume up to 15 percent less fuel than conventional petrol cars.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull Hybrid (PHEV)\n: This type of car has electric motors and internal combustion engines that work together. You can also choose to use the full-electric mode, but it only allows short trips of a few kilometers. Compared to the mild hybrids, full hybrid cars use high-voltage traction batteries with several hundred volts that work together with the petrol engine to power up the car. Full hybrid cars are known for their cost-efficient fuel savings of more than 20 percent compared to conventional petrol cars.\n\n\n\n\nAdvantages of Owning a Hybrid Car\n\n\nCompared to conventional cars or EVs, there are quite a few advantages of owning a hybrid car.\n\n\n\n\nFuel consumption varies between 15 and 50 percent lower than other car types but this depends on the type of car that you choose. This is especially great in cities with frequent traffic jams.\u00a0\n\n\nSince the fuel consumption is way lower, this results in lower emission of CO2. Hence, making it more environmentally friendly.\u00a0\n\n\nDrives are smooth and more efficient as less energy is lost because the energy from braking, as well as acceleration is captured, and reused.\n\n\nWith hybrid cars, long-distance trips are more fuel-efficient as their driving range is better than a fully electric car.\n\n\nCompared to a conventional drive system, acceleration is increased by 10 to 20 percent. An internal combustion engine needs higher speeds for more torque, while a hybrid is able to accelerate with the electric motor.\n\n\nApart from plug-in hybrids, the vehicles do not have to be charged with electricity. So, drivers do not have to search for a charging station.\n\n\n\n\nDisadvantages of Owning a Hybrid Car\n\n\nHowever, there are also some disadvantages to owning a hybrid.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThey are not as environmentally friendly as plug-in hybrids or electric cars.\n\n\nYou may not get as many discounts or incentives when you buy a hybrid as the government is encouraging customers to purchase an all-electric car or a PHEV.\u00a0\n\n\nServicing and maintenance charges can be higher. Because there are two engines and there is quite a bit of tech in those engines, maintenance costs can be higher.\n\n\nAlso, you may find your local garage doesn\u2019t service or maintain hybrid cars because of the different technology.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMost Affordable Hybrid Cars in Malaysia\n\n\nHonda Jazz Hybrid \u2013 RM87,000\n\n\n\n\nThe Honda Jazz\n Hybrid is powered by a naturally-aspirated 1.5 liter DOHC four-cylinder petrol engine and a 22 kW electric motor, which collectively produces 137 PS and 170 Nm of torque. There is also a 0.86 kWh lithium-ion battery to store power, and a seven-speed dry dual-clutch transmission.\n It is said that the fuel consumption for the Honda Jazz Hybrid is at an impressive 25 km/l.\n\n\nHyundai Ioniq Hybrid Plus \u2013 RM115,888\n\n\n\n\nThe Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid Plus is powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder GDI Kappa engine and a 44PS electric motor which produces a total output of 141PS and 265Nm of maximum torque. The drive is sent to the front wheels via a six-speed automatic dual-clutch transmission, while the electric motor is powered by a lithium-ion polymer traction battery. Thanks to this awesome powertrain package, the fuel consumption for this car is at an impressive 25.6 km/l.\n\n\nNisssan Serena S-Hybrid \u2013 RM120,524\n\n\n\n\nThe Nissan Serena S-Hybrid\n is actually a mild-hybrid that is powered by a \n2.0L (MR20DD) Twin CVTC engine and a \u2018micro hybrid\u2019 system, which utilizes the alternator as a torque assist motor (up to 1.9kW of power), paired with a CVT-type gearbox with Adaptive Shift Control (ASC). The maximum power output is 150 PS at 6,000rpm, with a maximum torque of 200 Nm at 4,400 rpm. The fuel consumption rate for this car stands at 14.2 km/l.\n\n\nSo, should You Own a Hybrid Car?\n\n\nIt is a known fact that vehicles powered by petrol and diesel engines tend to produce a lot of CO2, which is really harmful to the environment while greener cars like electric cars tend to have a short driving range and battery life.\u00a0\n\n\nOne of the main purposes of hybrids is to create a more environmentally friendly alternative to conventional cars. With petrol engines and electric motors working together, hybrid cars can contribute to a greener planet without compromising on the driving range and performance.\n\n\nPlus, it is relatively more fuel-efficient. However, hybrid cars are also high-maintenance to up-keep as the servicing and maintenance charges for these vehicles are higher. Spare parts also might not be readily available.\u00a0\n\n\nSo, when it comes to a hybrid car, the choice is totally up to you. If you want a car that is fuel-efficient and reduces carbon emissions but doesn\u2019t want a car that needs to be plugged in to be recharged, then the hybrid car is the one you should pick.\u00a0\n\n\nRead more:\n 2021 Third Gen Honda HR-V\n and \nHow Far can Your EV go before stopping at these Electric Vehicle Charging Stations\n.\n\n\nFor any other used car services and news, do check Carsome out!

We\u2019ll cover everything you need to know, including the best hybrid cars in Malaysia right now. Let\u2019s get started.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTable of Contents\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is a Hybrid Car?\n\n\nWhat Are the Different Types of Hybrid Car Systems?\n\n\nWhat are the Types of Hybrid Cars?\n\n\nKey Components in Hybrid Cars\n\n\nAdvantages of Owning a Hybrid Car\n\n\nDisadvantages of Owning a Hybrid Car\n\n\nWhat is the Lifespan of a Hybrid Car Battery?\n\n\nBest Hybrid Cars in Malaysia\n\n\nShould You Get a Hybrid Car?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is a Hybrid Car?\n\n\nA hybrid car, also commonly known as a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), uses more than one means of propulsion \u2013 it combines a petrol or diesel engine with an electric motor. Its electric motor is powered by an additional high-voltage battery pack that\u2019s separate from the car\u2019s conventional 12-volt battery.\u00a0\n\n\nThis battery pack is usually recharged via regenerative braking which is when the kinetic energy from braking is converted into electrical energy and sent to the battery. However, it can also be automatically charged by the engine as you drive or by plugging the car into a wall charging outlet.\n\n\n\n\nDepending on the situation, a hybrid car can be propelled exclusively by the gas engine or hybrid motor, or by both at the same time. By using both mills or only the hybrid motor at a time, a hybrid vehicle can improve its fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, which is what makes hybrid cars attractive.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nCar Batteries: How to Extend the Lifespan & Prices in Malaysia\n\n\nHere\u2019s a quick fun fact\n: the Toyota Prius was the first series-produced hybrid vehicle introduced in 1997. However, hybrid drive systems are actually much older; the first car that combined a petrol and an electric engine was the \u201cLohner-Porsche Mixte Hybrid\u201d, built by Ferdinand Porsche in 1899. It had a 16-horsepower gasoline engine working together with a generator to provide electricity that charged the battery and turned the wheels. It was actually well-received and over 300 units were produced.\n\n\n\n\nWhat Are the Different Types of Hybrid Car Systems?\n\n\nThere are three main types of systems that hybrid cars use today which are Parallel, Series, and Series-parallel hybrid systems. Each system delivers power to the wheels differently and is used in different types of hybrid vehicles.\n\n\nParallel Hybrid\n\n\nThis is the most common hybrid system used by most brands, whereby the electric motor and the combustion engine are connected to the transmission independently. In stop-and-go traffic, the electric motor provides power while at highway speeds, the internal combustion engine takes over. However, both the engine and electric motor can move the car during harder acceleration.\u00a0\n\n\nIn a parallel hybrid drivetrain, the battery relies on regenerative braking to recharge the battery as there\u2019s no separate generator to do it. The type of transmission and the size of the combustion engine are the two main driving factors that determine how the car will accelerate, sound, and feel.\u00a0\n\n\nSeries Hybrid\n\n\nIn this system, the electric motor provides all the thrust, while the combustion engine recharges the battery. There is no physical mechanical connection between the engine and the transmission. This results in a driving experience that is similar to an electric car with a smoother, and more powerful acceleration.\u00a0\n\n\nSince the engine only generates electricity to charge the battery and assist the electric motor, vehicles with this drivetrain are called range-extended electric vehicles.\n\n\nSeries-parallel or Power-split Hybrid\n\n\nA series-parallel hybrid system combines the advantages of both a series and parallel drivetrain. This system typically has a large battery and powerful electric motor that can drive the wheels like in a series hybrid system. Additionally, the engine can be used to both drive the wheels and charge the battery pack.\u00a0\n\n\nHybrid cars with this system tend to use the electric motor in stop-and-go traffic and when accelerating from a standstill, and use the combustion engine at highway speeds. Oftentimes, you can also drive a few kilometers using only the electric motor. When necessary, the engine can send power to the generator which will then charge the battery. Toyota is famous for using this drivetrain in their hybrids including the Toyota Prius.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat are the Types of Hybrid Cars?\n\n\nHybrid cars differ according to their levels of electrification and the kind of hybrid system that they use. Here are the common types of hybrid cars you can find in Malaysia.\n\n\nMild Hybrid (MHEV)\n\n\nA mild hybrid car has an electric motor in its drive system but it never works on its own. Instead, the system helps to reduce the burden on the engine by giving it a small boost during acceleration and helping power some of the car\u2019s electrical systems such as the air conditioning.\u00a0\n\n\nMild hybrid cars generally have parallel hybrid systems with a 48-volt battery and are recharged by regenerative braking and power from the engine. These cars generally consume up to 15-percent less fuel than conventional petrol cars and include examples like the \nHonda\n Insight, Honda CR-Z, and the \nMercedes-Benz C 200\n.\n\n\nFull Hybrid (FHEV)\n\n\nThis type of car has an electric motor and internal combustion engine that work together or independently to drive the wheels. You can also choose to use the full-electric mode, but it only allows short trips of a few kilometers. Compared to mild hybrids, full hybrid cars use high-voltage traction batteries with several hundred volts that work together with the petrol engine to drive the car.\u00a0\n\n\nFull hybrid cars are known for fuel savings of 20 to 50 percent compared to conventional petrol cars. While they can use a parallel or series drivetrain, most modern hybrids use the series-parallel drivetrain for its obvious advantages. Examples of full hybrid cars include the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid, Honda City RS Hybrid, and Honda HR-V RS Hybrid.\n\n\nPlug-In Hybrid (PHEV)\n\n\nA plug-in hybrid adds more power to the conventional hybrid concept with a much larger battery pack. Just like a proper EV, a PHEV can be recharged using an external source \u2013 either from your home or at public charging stations.\u00a0\n\n\nThanks to the huge amount of energy stored, the plug-in hybrid has an extended all-electric driving range, which can significantly reduce the fuel consumption rate. Most PHEVs are propelled primarily by their electric motor with the engine functioning as a range extender to recharge the batteries. However, some PHEVs can also run with power from the engine. Examples of PHEVs include the Chevrolet Volt, BMW i8, and the \nBMW 330e\n.\n\n\n\n\nMicro Hybrid\n\n\nA micro hybrid car does not qualify as a proper hybrid car as it is exclusively driven by an engine. The micro hybrid here refers to a start-stop system that shuts off the engine when the car stops in traffic and restarts it when the driver accelerates. It also uses regenerative braking to charge the car\u2019s regular 12V battery. A micro hybrid system generally grants a car up to 10 percent of fuel savings. An example of a vehicle that uses this system is the \nNissan Serena\n.\n\n\nRead More: \nWant to Save Fuel?

Hybrid cars offer maximum fuel savings in city driving, which is when the electric motor is used the most.\n\n\nSince the fuel consumption is way lower, this results in lower carbon dioxide emissions. Hence, making it more environmentally friendly.\u00a0\n\n\nYou get a smoother, quieter drive, especially in city driving.\n\n\nLong-distance trips are more comfortable and don\u2019t induce range anxiety like in a full EV as you can still refuel normally. With the still limited charging infrastructure, owning a hybrid car in Malaysia is a better choice for most drivers.\n\n\nCompared to a conventional drive system, acceleration is increased by 10 to 20 percent as the electric motor is programmed to kick in when accelerating. Unlike an ICE, an electric motor has instant torque.\n\n\nApart from plug-in hybrids, the vehicles do not have to be charged with electricity. So, drivers do not have to search for a charging station.\n\n\nThey are just as easy to maintain as conventional ICE cars, with the hybrid components requiring minimal servicing.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDisadvantages of Owning a Hybrid Car\n\n\nHowever, there are also some disadvantages to owning a hybrid car.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThey are not as environmentally friendly as full EVs and still emit exhaust gases.\n\n\nYou may not get as many discounts or tax incentives when you buy a hybrid as the government is encouraging customers to purchase full EVs or PHEVs. That said, hybrid cars are currently a lot more affordable than proper EVs.\n\n\nRepairing or replacing the components in the electric drivetrain (hybrid battery, inverter, and hybrid control computer) can be very expensive. However, the costs have significantly reduced over the years. Furthermore, modern hybrid components from companies like Toyota are known for being reliable throughout the life of the vehicle.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat Is the Lifespan of a Hybrid Car Battery?\n\n\nHybrid car batteries have a reputation for being prone to malfunction, though that\u2019s largely a myth. Battery technology has progressed tremendously over the years and while some manufacturers claim that their hybrid batteries can last over 160,00km, there are many cases of Toyota Prius batteries lasting well past that mileage with this \nPrius taxi clocking over 1,000,000km\n without issues.\n\n\nManufacturers such as Toyota even offer warranties of up to 10 years and unlimited mileage for their hybrid components which include the battery. That shows their confidence in their hybrid technology. However, most warranties would state that they\u2019re only valid as long as you service your vehicle at authorized workshops, so make sure you read the fine print of your hybrid car warranty.\n\n\n\n\nBest Hybrid Cars in Malaysia\n\n\nToyota Corolla Cross Hybrid (RM139,991.00)\n\n\n\n\nThe \nToyota Corolla\n Cross Hybrid is an SUV powered by a 1.8L DOHC four-cylinder engine coupled with an electric motor producing a combined power output of 122PS. Although that doesn\u2019t sound like much, this SUV actually has plenty of usable power in all driving conditions thanks to its two power sources. Power is delivered to the wheels via a smooth e-CVT (continuously variable transmission) making the Corolla Cross Hybrid very pleasant to drive. Its fuel consumption is rated at 23.2 km/L which is very economical for a vehicle of this size.\n\n\nHonda HR-V RS Hybrid (RM140,800)\n\n\n\n\nThe \nHonda HR-V\n Hybrid, launched in 2022 utilizes a 1.5L DOHC four-cylinder engine paired with a powerful electric motor which gives the SUV a total output of 215PS and a claimed fuel consumption of 24.4 km/L. With an e-CVT and a sport mode available, the Honda HR-V can provide an exhilarating drive even though it\u2019s a hybrid. Its futuristic design, efficient powertrain, and typical Honda reliability make this one of the best Hybrid SUVs in Malaysia.\n\n\nHonda City RS Hybrid (RM108,800)\n\n\n\n\nThe \nHonda City\n Hybrid is available in both sedan and hatchback forms, and shares the same powertrain as the Honda HR-V Hybrid, albeit with slightly less power. It has a 24.4 km/L claimed fuel consumption like its SUV cousin, though being around 150kg lighter than the HR-V, you can expect better performance in the City. The City Hybrid offers excellent value as the cheapest hybrid car in Malaysia.\n\n\nBMW 330e M Sport (RM249,849)\n\n\n\n\nA 2018 BMW 330e M Sport sold for RM147,900 on CARSOME\n\n\nThe \nBMW 330e\n M Sport is a luxurious plug-in hybrid sedan that delivers on performance. With its 2.0L turbocharged engine and electric motor, it produces 252PS of power and 420 Nm of torque making it a proper high-performance sedan. Its fuel consumption is rated at 15.2 km/L, though that is a worthwhile trade-off considering the power it has. It also has a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission that gives it a sporty driving response.\n\n\n\n\nShould You Get a Hybrid Car?\n\n\nIt is a known fact that traditional ICE vehicles produce a lot of carbon dioxide, which is harmful to the environment, while full EVs tend to have a limited driving range and suffer from a lack of charging infrastructure in Malaysia.\n\n\nHybrid cars offer a great environmentally friendly alternative to conventional cars as they provide better fuel economy and less harmful emissions while also being quite affordable. With the engine and electric motor working together, hybrid cars can contribute to a greener planet without compromising driving range and performance.\n\n\nUnlike their negative reputation, modern hybrid cars are very reliable and just as easy to maintain as other cars. If you want a fuel-efficient car with lower emissions without needing to worry about recharging it, then a hybrid car is a great choice.\n\n\nRead more:\n\u00a0 \nHow Far Can Your EV Go Before Stopping at These Electric Vehicle Charging Stations\n\n\nThis content was originally published on 7/4/2021.

While EVs were historically very expensive, these cars were actually very reasonably priced, largely thanks to the \nexemption of duties\n and other incentives for EVs announced for Budget 2022.\n\n\nAs a result, we can expect the adoption of EVs to ramp up in the next few years. And with more EVs on the road, there\u2019s also a need for better EV charging solutions in Malaysia beyond shopping mall parking lot chargers. That being said, do you know how to charge an electric car and what are the types of charging stations available in the country?\n\n\n\n\nAC vs DC Charging for Your EV\n\n\nMost of us know that the electricity supplied from the grid to our homes is in alternating current (AC). AC is used as it\u2019s cheaper to generate, suffers less energy loss than direct current (DC), and can be easily stepped up or down with the use of transformers. Yet, in the case of EVs, there are two charging methods at our disposal \u2013 AC and DC charging. So, which EV charging option is better?\n\n\nHow AC Charging Works\n\n\n\n\nThe AC charger (wallbox) can be installed at home and in communal spaces like in apartment parking lots. It\u2019s the preferred type of EV charger for electric car owners as it\u2019s cheap and easy to install.\n\n\nIt sends AC power from the grid directly to your EV.\n\n\nYour car\u2019s onboard current converter converts the AC power from the wall outlet to DC to charge the batteries.\n\n\nAC charging is less demanding on the grid but has a slower charging rate and typically takes eight hours to charge your car batteries to 80 percent.\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nEverything You Need to Know about Hybrid Cars\n\n\nImage source: wallbox.com\n\n\nHow DC Charging Works\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDC chargers, also called fast chargers, convert AC from the grid to DC before it enters the vehicle. This means the power directly enters the battery, bypassing the car\u2019s converter.\n\n\nIt uses a more robust system to convert the power to DC and is therefore much larger than an AC wallbox.\n\n\nA DC charger can send more power into the car and charge your EV battery to 80 percent in a much shorter time than an AC charger.\n\n\nThis also means it\u2019s more expensive to install and operate, which is why EV charging operators usually charge users by the minute.\n\n\nWith their cost and size, DC chargers are more suited for \nhighway rest stops\n where faster charging can help travelers charge their cars quickly.\n\n\n\n\nHere are the differences between AC and DC charging summed up.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAC Charger\n\n\n\n\nDC Charger\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlternating\n\n\nCurrent Type\n\n\nDirect\n\n\n\n\n\n\nType 2\n\n\nPort type\n\n\nCCS2\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDone by the car\u2019s converter\n\n\nConversion to DC\n\n\nHappens in-charger\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUp to 22kW\n\n\nMax Charging Rate (in 2022)\n\n\nUp to 360kW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7 to 15 hours\n\n\nTypical charging time (from 0 to 80 percent)\n\n\nLess than 1 hour\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheap (depends on your home electricity tariff)\n\n\nCharging Cost\n\n\nExpensive (depends on the charging station rate per minute)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHome\n\n\nIdeal for\n\n\nDedicated fast-charge stations in public\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe EV Charging Situation in Malaysia\n\n\nOwning an EV requires you to plan your charging diligently and incorporate it into your lifestyle.

Apartment developers may also set up chargers on their property for the residents.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\nInstalled in the owner\u2019s home, or some developers may install in the apartment common areas.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUsage Cost\n\n\nAccording to TNB electricity bill charges.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCharging Rate\n\n\nConsistent.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCharge Time\n\n\nPredictable but slow.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConvenience\n\n\nYes, you can just plug your car in and not worry about taking up others\u2019 space. Most EV owners charge their cars overnight at home.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPublic Chargers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCharger Type\n\n\nBoth AC and DC chargers are available.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSetup Cost\n\n\nSet up by EV charging service providers such as ParkEasy, ChargEV, and JomCharge. Some luxury car manufacturers have also sponsored these charging stations.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\nMost public chargers are found in developed, affluent areas, while paid DC chargers are found in some shopping malls and along highway rest stops.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUsage Cost\n\n\nCharged per hour or minute and can vary depending on the service provider.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCharging Rate\n\n\nNot set \u2013 each charging station has its own rate which can vary greatly\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCharge Time\n\n\nFast but not as predictable as charging at home\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConvenience\n\n\nNot in 2022 \u2013 there are still very limited public charging stations in Malaysia.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow do We Handle EV Charging in Malaysia?\n\n\nUntil a fully fleshed-out nationwide electric vehicle charging solution is implemented and the charging network sufficiently mature, pre-planning is at the core of every EV owner\u2019s daily motoring routine.\u00a0\n\n\nTo counter \u2018range anxiety\u2019 among EV owners, automakers have been trying to squeeze in bigger and bigger batteries into their EVs, which inevitably increases cost.\n\n\nSolutions to Drive EV Adoption\n\n\nAlthough battery technology will no doubt improve, bringing the cost down, the future of EV adoption in Malaysia won\u2019t necessarily be won by cars capable of traveling further on a single charge, but by providing ample EV AC charging facilities, especially in urban areas.\u00a0\n\n\nThat said, DC charging stations will also play a major role for long-distance travelers on the highway. For a heftier by-the-minute fee, they essentially allow EV users to quickly replenish their car\u2019s battery in about the same time as a bathroom break and a cup of coffee, making them perfect for highway rest areas.\u00a0\n\n\nSo, are you ready for\n \nthe EV life\n? Or are you going to give it a few more years for the EV charging infrastructure in Malaysia to improve?\n\n\nThis article was originally published on carlist.my and has been adapted by CARSOME.\n\n", "Devan S\nDevan believes written content is here to stay despite our depleting attention span and the rise of short videos.

Make Your Choice with This Quick Guide", "Hybrid or Petrol? Make Your Choice with This Quick Guide", "By\n \nHaziq Asyraf", "13/04/2022", "\n\n\n\n\n", "There are countless choices when it comes to cars these days, so it might be quite overwhelming to choose which one to buy, especially if you are buying a car for the first time.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re someone who just wants a ride that can drive well and is easy to maintain, a petrol car should be right up your alley. But if you are in favor of cleaner tech and would like to incorporate renewable energy into your daily life then hybrid cars are for you.\n\n\n\n\nNo matter which car type you have in mind, each has its own benefits and disadvantages that you take into account before making your choice. Here are some key factors that you can consider when choosing between both types of cars.\n\n\nBenefits of Petrol Cars\n\n\nWide Price Range\n\n\nTo start things off, one of the major benefits of petrol cars is that they are available in various price ranges. This makes them easily accessible to anyone who is looking to buy a car.\n\n\nPlus, you don\u2019t have to worry about a high initial price when buying a petrol car because no matter what kind of car you are looking for, there will always be a model or make that is priced within your budget.\n\n\nFast & Furious\n\n\n\n\nAnother reason why petrol cars are more popular is that they are faster and have more power. It is a fact that petrol cars are more responsive and they also have a generally better feel for performance when driving.\n\n\nNot to mention, there is an abundance of aftermarket parts available for petrol engines if you are looking to soup up your car for more power, and you can easily find proper mechanics or technicians to help with that.\n\n\nRefuel Anywhere\n\n\n\n\nYou can find petrol stations anywhere. This makes petrol cars a great choice for long-range traveling as you can definitely find a place to refuel, no matter where you are in the world.\n\n\nAlso, with some modern and efficient petrol engines, you are now able to get even more mileage than what we used to be able to get before. This further cements the benefit of owning a petrol car in this day and age.\n\n\nDisadvantages of Petrol Cars\n\n\nUnstable Fuel Price\n\n\nOne major disadvantage for petrol cars is that fuel price is very unpredictable these days. In Malaysia, petrol prices are updated weekly so you always have to be on the lookout especially if you want to get the most out of your car without having to pay too much for petrol.\n\n\nRead: \nWeekly Petrol Price for RON95, RON97 & Diesel in Malaysia\n\n\nNeeds Regular Maintenance\n\n\nMaking sure your petrol car runs without issues requires constant maintenance. This is quite typical for internal combustion engines (ICE) as they have a lot of moving parts that undergo a lot of stress when the car is moving.\n\n\nWithout regular maintenance, the parts in the engine will deteriorate faster due to wear and tear, thus leading to a costly breakdown or even an accident.\n\n\nBenefits of Hybrid Cars\n\n\nFuel Efficiency\n\n\nWhen talking about hybrid cars, they are usually preferred by many due to their fuel efficiency. There are three types of hybrid cars \u2013 a \nMicro Hybrid that\n uses a \u201cstart-stop system\u201d that is purely driven by the internal combustion engine (petrol engine)\n, a Mild Hybrid (MHEV)\n that has an electric motor in its drive system to help the internal combustion engine boost the vehicle during acceleration\n, and a Full Hybrid (PHEV) that\n has an electric motor and an internal combustion engine that work together\n.\n\n\nA full hybrid car is said to be able to save more than 20 percent fuel usage when compared to a conventional petrol car since it runs on a combination of a petrol engine and an electric motor with a large battery pack. This means you are able to drive on pure electric power for a specified range before the combustion engine kicks in to share the load.\n\n\nThis makes them a very attractive option for car buyers especially when you live in city areas and when fuel prices are unstable.\n\n\nGreat for City Driving\n\n\n\n\nHybrid cars run on their electric motors first when moving from a standstill or at a lower speed. If you\u2019re stuck in stop-start traffic, you will take advantage of the electric engine until a specified range before the petrol engine takes over when the battery pack is out of power, or when you\u2019re driving at a higher speed.\n\n\nTheir electric motor also provides better acceleration compared to traditional combustion engines. Hence, they are highly suitable for \u201cstop and go\u201d city driving conditions with frequent traffic jams.\n\n\nIt also has a smooth driving experience since less energy is lost because when you are braking as well as accelerating, the energy produced is captured and reused to recharge the battery pack in a process called regenerative braking.\n\n\nNo Range Anxiety\n\n\nCompared to an electric vehicle which solely depends on electricity to keep the engine running, hybrid cars have an electric motor that works together with the petrol engine to power up the car.\n\n\nWhen the battery is low on power, the petrol engine takes over to keep the car running. As long as you can reach a charging station or gas station when the fuel tank gets too low, you don\u2019t have to worry about being stranded alone.\n\n\nNot to mention, the refueling cost of a hybrid car is also much lower compared to a conventional petrol car. Take the new Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid for example. With a petrol tank capacity of 36 liters, a full tank of RON95 will set you back at around RM73.80.\n\n\nCompare that to another car in the same segment, the Honda HR-V E which comes with a whopping 50 liter tank that will cost you around RM102.50 for a full tank of RON95.\n\n\nIn this Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid road trip vlog by Autobuzz, they managed to travel from Selangor to Ipoh to Penang on a single full tank! By the time they arrive in Penang, they still had a quarter tank of fuel left. Very economical and impressive for an SUV. You can watch the video \nhere\n.\n\n\nIf you love going on road trips, you might want to consider a hybrid from now on.\n\n\nDisadvantages of Hybrid Cars\n\n\nExpensive to Buy\n\n\nGetting into the hybrid car scene is quite difficult for a lot of people as they are generally more expensive to buy. They are built to be more complex than your conventional petrol car and also feature more technology than the ones you commonly see in a petrol car.\n\n\nBattery Replacement is Expensive\n\n\n\n\nTo top it off, the bane of every hybrid car owner would be to change the car\u2019s battery pack once it is damaged. A hybrid car\u2019s battery pack replacement could cost you thousands of ringgits, not to mention that you would need to replace the battery at an establishment with the proper expertise or you might risk damaging your car in the process.\u00a0\n\n\nFor example, a Toyota Prius\u2019s battery is expected to last between eight to ten years, depending on usage. So you don\u2019t have to worry about replacing the battery if your car is fairly new. However, when the time comes to replace the battery pack, you will be expected to fork out around RM7,000 for a new one, and that does not include the labor charge yet, which could bump up the price a few hundred ringgits more.\n\n\nRead: \nEverything You need to know about Hybrid Cars\n\n\nLooking for Your Dream Car?

After all, the market is dominated by battery-powered electric vehicles (BEVs) and hybrid vehicles. While hydrogen cars are seen as just as environmentally friendly as a regular BEV, they somehow flew under the radar of manufacturers and consumers.\u00a0\n\n\nSo why don\u2019t hydrogen cars get more love and will we ever adopt hydrogen cars in Malaysia? Let\u2019s find out below.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTable of Contents\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow Do Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars Work?\n\n\nHow Is Hydrogen Gas Produced?\n\n\nMain Components of Hydrogen Cars\n\n\nAdvantages of Hydrogen Cars\n\n\nDisadvantages of Hydrogen Cars\n\n\nTop Hydrogen Cars\n\n\nWill Hydrogen Cars Replace Battery Electric Cars?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow Do Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars Work?\n\n\nHydrogen fuel cell cars are a type of fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) as they use hydrogen fuel cells to power their electric motors. They are largely similar to a BEV except that they run on a different power source.\u00a0\n\n\nIn a hydrogen car, compressed hydrogen gas from the gas tank is sent to the fuel cell stack where the gas goes through reverse electrolysis and combines with oxygen from the atmosphere. This process produces electrical energy and clean water. The electrical energy is then sent to the motor which drives the wheels and moves the car. The water, on the other hand, is sent to the exhaust pipe where it\u2019s expelled from the car.\n\n\n\n\nImage source: Hyundai\n\n\nWhat Happens in the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Stack\n\n\nThe structure of the fuel cell is similar to a battery. The hydrogen enters the anode where it comes in contact with a catalyst, which is usually platinum. This catalyst promotes the separation of hydrogen atoms into a hydrogen ion and an electron.\u00a0\n\n\nThe hydrogen then passes through an electrolyte membrane to reach the cathode while the electron travels through the circuit, producing electricity to power the motor. At the end of the circuit, the electrons combine with the hydrogen ions and oxygen to form water as a byproduct.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHow Is Hydrogen Gas Produced?\n\n\nHydrogen gas doesn\u2019t naturally exist in the environment. Therefore, it needs to be produced with man-made methods. The two most common hydrogen production methods are steam-methane reforming and electrolysis.\u00a0\n\n\nSteam-Methane Reforming\n\n\nThis is the most commonly used method to produce hydrogen as it is low-cost and easy to do at scale. In steam-methane reforming, pressurized, high-temperature steam (700 to 980 degrees Celsius) reacts with methane in the presence of a catalyst to produce hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and a small amount of carbon dioxide.\u00a0\n\n\nThe methane used in this process mostly comes from fossil fuel natural gas, and only a small amount of it comes from biogas or renewable natural gas. Since this process produces greenhouse gasses, it\u2019s also not environmentally friendly.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nEverything You need to know about Hybrid Cars\n\n\nElectrolysis\n\n\nThis process uses electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases. You probably remember this experiment from your high school science class. The only components required in this process are water, electricity, and a catalyst. However, that doesn\u2019t mean this method is environmentally friendly as most electrolysis processes still use energy from coal plants. To get a truly \u201cgreen\u201d hydrogen production method, hydrolysis needs to be done with renewable energy.\n\n\n\n\nHow a hydrogen car is powered [Image source: BMW]\n\n\n\n\nMain Components of a Hydrogen Car\n\n\n\n\nBattery pack:\n Similar to full EVs, hydrogen cars have a lithium-ion battery pack that stores electricity to power the motor. However, it typically contains fewer lithium-ion cells and a lower voltage than a BEV battery pack since most of the power comes from the hydrogen fuel cell. This battery pack can be recharged via regenerative braking or with excess electricity from the fuel cell.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHydrogen fuel tank:\n This tank stores hydrogen gas in a highly pressurized environment until it\u2019s needed by the fuel cell. Passenger hydrogen cars typically hold around 5kg of hydrogen gas in their tanks.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFuel Cell Stack:\n This is where hydrogen and oxygen gases are used to generate electricity. The fuel cell contains membrane electrodes where reverse electrolysis occurs, which combines hydrogen and oxygen, producing electricity and water as a byproduct.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFuel tank neck:\n This is the receptacle where you pump hydrogen gas from a gas station into. Unlike in a traditional petrol car, the hydrogen gas pump nozzle needs to stay locked onto the fuel tank neck while refueling as you\u2019re dealing with pressurized gas.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElectric motor:\n It uses power from the fuel cell and battery pack to drive the vehicle\u2019s wheels. The motor in a hydrogen car works very much the same way as one in a BEV or hybrid car.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThermal cooling system: \nSimilar to a cooling system in a BEV, it cools the fuel cell, electric motor, power control unit, and other components, maintaining an optimal operating temperature for all the components.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPower control unit:\n It manages the flow of electrical energy provided by the fuel cell and battery pack to control the speed and torque of the car.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDC/DC converter:\n It converts the high voltage DC power from the lithium-ion battery pack and fuel cell to low-voltage DC power to recharge the auxiliary battery and power other vehicle electronics.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExhaust pipe:\n After the chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen produces electricity and water, the water is expelled from the vehicle via the exhaust pipe.\n\n\n\n\nRead More:\n \nDo Engine Oil Treatment & Fuel Additives Really Work?\n\n\n\n\nAdvantages of Hydrogen Cars\n\n\nLong Driving Range\n\n\nThe most attractive advantage of hydrogen cars is their longer range when compared to BEVs. Hydrogen cars can generally travel around 600km before needing refueling while the average EV can only travel between 300 to 400km before needing to be recharged.\n\n\nProduces Zero Emissions\n\n\nA hydrogen car produces no greenhouse gases. Instead, it only produces water as a byproduct which either gets expelled out of the car as you drive or gets stored in a tank that you can empty yourself.\n\n\nQuick Refueling\n\n\nRefueling a hydrogen car is similar to a traditional car. All you need to do is drive up to a hydrogen gas station, connect the hose to your car, and wait for your tank to fill up. This only takes around five minutes compared to recharging a BEV which can take up to a few hours.\n\n\n\n\nImage source: Toyota\n\n\nHydrogen Fuel Cells are Lightweight\n\n\nA hydrogen car fuel cell is generally more lightweight than a lithium-ion battery pack. It also occupies less space and has a greater energy storage density. Because of this, many experts and companies consider hydrogen to be a better option for commercial vehicles, especially large, long-haul trucks.\u00a0\n\n\nA fully battery-powered commercial truck would require a large number of battery packs making it significantly heavier than diesel trucks. Hydrogen fuel cells can provide clean energy without bumping up the weight of these trucks.\n\n\n\n\nDisadvantages of Hydrogen Cars\n\n\nPrices are Expensive\n\n\nAt the moment, hydrogen cars are still very expensive, especially compared to most ICE cars. For instance, the Toyota Mirai costs around $50,000 in the USA while the Toyota Corolla starts at only $20,000. Additionally, refueling hydrogen cars is also costly with a kilogram of hydrogen gas costing on average $15 (RM68) at the pump. With the Mirai being able to travel around 600km on 5.6kg of hydrogen, that means that you would need RM380 worth of hydrogen to drive that distance.\n\n\nLimited Refueling Stations\n\n\nThere are very limited hydrogen refueling stations even in markets where hydrogen cars are sold. Therefore, hydrogen car owners may find it difficult to refuel their cars. As of 2022, the USA has only 107 hydrogen refueling stations while Japan has 166 stations.\n\n\nSafety Concerns over Hydrogen Tanks\n\n\nMany people are still concerned about the safety of storing this highly flammable gas in their cars. However, all hydrogen cars have to satisfy strict safety requirements to ensure that accidents do not happen. Manufacturers such as \nToyota\n pack their hydrogen tanks with advanced safety features including using a tough carbon fiber-reinforced plastic layer to hold the gas in.\u00a0\n\n\nThere are also failsafes to ensure the hydrogen is safely released into the atmosphere if, for example, the fuel cell overheats or if the car is involved in an accident.\n\n\nEnvironmental Impact of Hydrogen Production\n\n\nWhile hydrogen cars are clean, the bulk of the hydrogen used globally is produced from natural gas with processes that result in greenhouse gases. That said, many governments and energy companies are finding ways to produce green hydrogen using sustainable methods including extracting it from water (electrolysis) using renewable energy.\u00a0\n\n\nIn fact, even Malaysia is in on the action as \nSarawak is set to be a green hydrogen production and export hub\n. Some of the hydrogen will even be used to power autonomous rapid transit vehicles in the state.\n\n\nRead More: \n5 Habits That Are Actually Damaging Your Car\u2019s Transmission\n\n\n\n\nTop Hydrogen Cars\n\n\nAlthough hydrogen fuel cell technology hasn\u2019t been widely used in passenger cars, there have been quite a number of hydrogen vehicles produced over the years. Here are vehicles that are either available or in development.\n\n\nToyota Mirai\n\n\n\n\nThe \nToyota\n Mirai was first manufactured in 2014 and is arguably the most well-known hydrogen car in the world. It\u2019s mainly sold in Japan, the USA, Canada, and some parts of Europe. The Mirai has a 142.2L Toyota Fuel Cell System with a 170kW electric power output. This power is delivered to the electric motor which produces 182PS of power and 406.7Nm of torque giving the Mirai a century sprint of 0 to 100 km/h time of 9.2 seconds.\u00a0\n\n\nIt also has three hydrogen fuel tanks, with a total capacity of 5.6kg giving it a maximum range of 646km on a full charge. While these figures look impressive, the Mirai is priced starting from $49,500 (RM225,398) in the USA, making it too expensive for most consumers.\n\n\nHyundai Nexo\n\n\n\n\nThe \nHyundai\n Nexo is a hydrogen fuel cell SUV first introduced in 2018 and is currently available in South Korea, the USA, the UK, and Australia. It has 163.2PS of power and 395Nm of torque making it a very capable vehicle. Its driving range varies from 569km to 611km depending on the variant you choose. Considering that the Nexo has a curb weight of around 1,700kg, its range is impressive indeed. The price of the Hyundai Nexo starts at $59,435 (RM270,577) in the USA.\n\n\nRenault Master Van H2-Tech\n\n\n\n\nRenault has a sizeable selection of light electric commercial vehicles and started producing hydrogen commercial vans in 2019. At the World Hydrogen Summit and Exhibition 2022, they introduced the Renault Master Van H2-Tech which adds a hydrogen drivetrain to their existing battery-powered Master ZE van.\n\n\nThe Master Van H2-Tech has the same 33kWh battery and 76PS electric motor as its battery-powered cousin, with the addition of a 30kW fuel cell and four 1.5kg hydrogen tanks. The new van boasts a range of up to 500km compared to less than 160km in the Master ZE. The hydrogen drivetrain is placed on the van\u2019s roof, which allows for a low loading height for cargo of up to 12 cubic meters in volume.\n\n\nHyperion XP-1\n\n\n\n\nThe Hyperion XP-1 is a hypercar 10 years in the making, and yes, it\u2019s powered by hydrogen. Not much technical information is available on the XP-1 other than that it has a lightweight titanium carbon monocoque frame, a compact high-capacity hydrogen storage system using space flight technology, and an all-wheel drive powertrain. It boasts a 1,600km driving range on a single charge, a century sprint time of 2.2 seconds, and a top speed of 354 km/h.\u00a0\n\n\nThe XP-1\u2019s main advantages over battery electric performance cars are its low-weight hydrogen drivetrain. It has a curb weight of only 1,274kg, less than a McLaren 720s\u2019 1,467kg. For comparison, Tesla\u2019s flagship Model S Plaid weighs 2,160kg with around 500kg of that being its battery pack, while only having a range of 640km. The XP-1 is scheduled to go into production in 2022 or 2023 and shows a promising future for hydrogen cars.\n\n\nHyundai N Vision 74\n\n\n\n\nThe \nHyundai\n N Vision 74 is an experimental hydrogen sports car, also referred to as a rolling lab by Hyundai. It uses both hydrogen and a 62.4kWh battery pack to power its dual electric traction motor. Both motors are fitted on the rear axle and together, they produce 670PS of power and 900Nm of torque.\n\n\nHyundai\u2019s mission with the N Vision 74 is to develop a hydrogen performance car with an optimized cooling system that ensures performance in heavy track use. To achieve this, they use individual cooling systems for each fuel cell stack, battery, and power electric module. Performance-wise, this hydrogen car can reach speeds of over 250 km/h and travel over 600km on a single charge.\n\n\n\n\nWill Hydrogen Cars Replace Battery Electric Cars?\n\n\nWhile hydrogen-powered cars show some potential in being a viable option for us, hydrogen cars and gas refueling are still prohibitively expensive for most consumers. Due to the rapid advancements in the BEV sector, BEVs are also years ahead of their hydrogen counterparts.\u00a0\n\n\nThat said, several companies such as \nToyota\n and \nHyundai\n along with hydrogen manufacturers and governments are paving the way to improve hydrogen technology. At least for now, the advantages of hydrogen work better for larger commercial vehicles compared to passenger cars. This means that hydrogen FCEVs can exist alongside BEVs albeit in different vehicle segments.\u00a0\n\n\nPlus, most countries, including Malaysia, already have some level of EV recharging infrastructure. That\u2019s why it\u2019s unlikely that we\u2019ll see hydrogen passenger cars here any time soon. That being said, we don\u2019t know what the future holds, so never say never!\n\n", "Devan S\nDevan believes written content is here to stay despite our depleting attention span and the rise of short videos.

The current facelifted model has been significantly improved with new looks and features, so much so it is often mistaken as an all-new Elantra. The revamped model is available as a single 2.0 Executive variant in Malaysia, effectively downsizing the offerings on sale.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nPre-facelift Sixth Generation Hyundai Elantra\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nStyle\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe don\u2019t blame you if you find it hard to spot the similarities with the pre-facelift model. Hyundai decided to redesign the C-segment sedan without traces of the predecessor. Angular lines anchor the new looks throughout \u2013 triangular headlights, fog lights, and taillights that supplement the new hood, front fascia and fenders, grille, trunk and rear fascia. The result of the modern styling comes with an overall length increase of 70 mm to a total of 4,620 mm.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn the inside, the cabin largely remains the same, apart from a refresh to the driver instrument cluster design, a new multifunctional steering wheel with control buttons and a new center climate control layout that joins the leather seats and soft-touch dashboard.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nFeatures \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs standard, the Elantra does come with a Smart Key with push start, rear air conditioning vents, a rear-view camera, manual head lamp leveling, Hyundai\u2019s Smart Trunk and the 7-inch touchscreen unit with USB, Bluetooth, voice recognition and compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSafety\n\n\n\n\nThe new Elantra comes with six airbags as standard, as is the passive safety list that includes ABS, ESC, Downhill Brake Control, Brake Assist, Vehicle Stability Management and Hill Start Assist Control. However, what often is unspoken is that the vehicle structure has been built with 53% of advanced high-strength steel, giving it a stiffer torsional rigidity and 25.3% greater bending strength.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDriving experience\n\n\n\n\nThe 2.0-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine outputs 150 hp and 192 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. The engine is mated to Hyundai\u2019s 6-speed automatic transmission with power going to the front wheels. Hyundai has tuned the ride and handling to lean more towards comfort and is a carryover in mechanics from the pre-facelift. At speeds, there is a slight body roll during a turn in, but when kept with the momentum of going through bends, the Elantra manages to keep its composure together. The 2.0 engine and transmission deliver more than adequate power when you put your foot down.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe choice of Eco, Normal, Sport and Smart driving modes are a standard affair apart from the latter. Smart mode essentially switches to the most suitable driving mode based on the driver\u2019s input, while Sport is more hesitant to upshift. When it comes to sedans within this segment, the Elantra drives better than most.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBuy?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe new Elantra is a reliable vehicle for someone who likes the new design and the standard features that come with the single variant on sale. However, at its current price of \nRM109,888\n on-the-road without insurance, the Elantra faces fierce competition with other more feature-filled vehicles. These include the Honda Civic 1.8, Proton X70 Executive, and even the brand\u2019s own Ioniq Hybrid. The Ioniq HEV Plus variant while priced at RM115,888 is a RM6,000 premium on top of the Elantra. For the price, it comes with a host of active safety features, including Lane Keeping Assist, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control to warrant the price difference. What we feel the Elantra needs to entice the crowd better is the addition of more equipment and more power previously available in the 1.6 Turbo variant.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRead below for more stories!\n\n\nAre you interested in a 7-seater car in Malaysia?

While that might not mean much to some, the Euro NCAP safety rating system is essentially more comprehensive in the passive and active safety categories, in comparison to others including those from the United States, Australian and ASEAN region. The reason for the full five stars also boils down to the standard equipment of robust crash avoidance technology which is one of the main highlights the Ioniq Hybrid offers. How then does the Ioniq fare in comfort and performance, and should you even consider the Ioniq Hybrid as your next vehicle? Read on to find out.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDesign\n\n\n\n\nThe Ioniq\u2019s futuristic design was the main concentration for the brand\u2019s designers when styling the vehicle. The fluid shape and clean lines emphasise the aerodynamic properties of the Ioniq, and with exterior panels that are designed to flex (which improve aerodynamics further), the Ioniq\u2019s drag coefficient figure is an impressive 0.24 Cd. This places it on par with the current generation Toyota Prius.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nOn the front, the Ioniq\u2019s C-shaped LED lamps join the LED daytime running lights at the base of the bumper. Focus on the centre and the sensors for the vehicle is housed in the emblem right in the middle of the brand\u2019s signature hexagonal grille. The grille itself is functional with an integrated active air flap for better aerodynamics.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nHere the interior blue character trim is present in all vehicle exterior colours.\n\n\nJust like the sleek exterior, the interior also captures the futuristic appeal with simple and functional lines that separate the Ioniq from the brand\u2019s range of models. For the local market, the blue character line present throughout the cabin \u2013 steering wheel, seat piping and air con vents truly provides some personality to the Hybrid name.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe boot is spacious with 750-litres of luggage space.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nEngineering\n\n\n\n\nBy balancing body weight and structural rigidity, the brand\u2019s engineers looked at the combination of aluminium and ultra-high strength steel at various areas. The focus on weight reduction was one of the concerns that arose during the development of the Ioniq. And so aluminium was used in the hood and tailgate which reduces the weight by 12.4 kg compared to conventional steel, and also the cargo screen cover \u2013 which cut its weight by a quarter compared to those in Hyundai\u2019s other models.\n\n\nOne of the strengths of the Ioniq also lies in its lower centre of gravity. With the vehicle\u2019s hybrid battery positioned just under the rear passenger seat, the combination with the multi-link rear suspension provides a better ride and off-road traction. In fact, the centre of gravity height is lower to that of the current Mk 7 Golf GTi.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSafety & Technology\n\n\n\n\nWhat makes the Ioniq Hybrid stand out from literally other vehicles in its class is the availability of active and passive safety features for the price point. Granted that the full on list of features are available on the higher HEV Plus variant, the features on offer are the Blind Spot Detection, Lane Keeping Assist and Departure Warning, Autonomous Emergency Braking, and Smart Cruise Control Systems, all of which provide additional safety on top the standard 7-Airbags, ABS, BA, HAC, ESC and VSM.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nPerformance & Driving Impression\n\n\n\n\nTo start with figures, the Ioniq\u2019s 1.6-litre GDI engine uses the Atkinson cycle and is rated at 104 hp with 147 Nm of torque and is then assisted with an additional electric motor with 43 hp and 170 Nm. Combined, the output produces 139 hp at 265 Nm. But best of all though, all this is mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission that\u2019s silky smooth and as Hyundai\u2019s reasoning, makes the Ioniq fun to drive.\n\n\nWe couldn\u2019t agree more. In regular driving, the Ioniq does everything an Eco car is supposed to, with quite a bit of pedal travel to get it up to speed. From a standstill, you do realise the electric motor doing the get-go and is seamless enough that the integration with the combustion engine goes unnoticed. But push it harder and activate Sport mode, and the Ioniq surprisingly does the opposite.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDespite driving quite aggressively, the Ioniq is leaps above in handling for a Hybrid vehicle.\n\n\nInstantly it changes the characteristics of the driving. The revs pull for longer and throttle becomes easier to push forward. What we expected with the inclusion of the DCT gearbox was a faster shift up and down, but the time it takes on driver input and shift engagement seemed a little slow. But when putting this into everyday usability, it makes more sense that Hyundai slowed things down to accommodate gearbox durability in the long run. What we wished for though, was the inclusion of paddle shifters. Stopping power is quite commendable with the brakes biting hard when needed, but does feel a little spongy. We believe it is due to the brake energy recuperation in the unit.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow does it ride? A lot stiffer than we expected, but not too much. Due to the placement of the Hybrid battery and the lengths the brand went through to make the Ioniq quick to drive, just note that it is leaps beyond what we expected a car of this class and purpose to perform at slaloms and corners.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nVerdict\n\n\n\n\nThis car has stunned everyone in the industry and we truly didn\u2019t expect this as well. Read reviews everywhere and you have journalists and those who have driven the Ioniq to say that it is one of the most interesting cars that Hyundai Malaysia has sold locally. Yes there may be thoughts that \u201cit\u2019s a hybrid\u201d or \u201cit has a DCT gearbox\u201d. But rest assured that the company has gone to lengths to test the transmission in various road conditions globally including \u2013 high speed at the German Autobahn, heavy traffic in Seoul, long distance cruising in the USA, high temperatures in the Middle East, cold conditions in Eastern Europe and high humidity and rough roads in China.\n\n\nWhat do we really think? With the HEV priced at RM100,328 and the HEV Plus at RM110,828 without insurance, the Ioniq Hybrid is a no brainer for a ridiculously feature packed vehicle at a price point that just smashes everything else.\n\n", "Tags\nCars\nDriving\nReviews", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Where cars were once simply a means of transportation, they will ultimately become personal living spaces, customised to meet the customer\u2019s needs and individualised to fulfil our desires.\n\n\nThough still in its early stages, self-driving technology is becoming increasingly common, and could radically transform the way we get from A to B. Autonomous driving will transform the look and feel of our vehicles and make journey far more convenient.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCustomers\u2019 mindsets are continuously changing and switching their focus to the sharing economy, as well as hassle-free mobility solutions. The automotive industry must therefore adapt accordingly. Brands like Hyundai are not meant to be simply car manufacturers, but should also transition into service providers who provide holistic solutions to what individual customers need.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe Autonomous Ioniq\n\n\nThe Hyundai IONIQ is already a world-first, as it offers drivers a choice of three electrified powertrains in one bodytype. Now, Hyundai is using it to test Level 4 autonomous driving technologies on European roads. Different cars are capable of various levels of self-driving on a scale of 0-5:\n\n\n\n\nLevel 0\n \u2013 All major systems are controlled by humans.\n\n\nLevel 1\n \u2013 Certain systems, for example cruise control or automatic breaking, can be controlled by the car.\n\n\nLevel 2\n \u2013 At least two simultaneous automated functions such as acceleration and steering are offered by the vehicle. However, humans are required to ensure safe operation.\n\n\nLevel 3\n \u2013 The car is able to manage safety functions under certain conditions, but the driver is expected to take over when alerted.\n\n\nLevel 4\n \u2013 The car is fully autonomous in some driving scenarios, though not all. This level can be referred to as highly automated.\n\n\nLevel 5\n \u2013 The car is completely autonomous in every situation.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAutonomous driving technology offers even more benefits to drivers when it is integrated with the needed infrastructure. Intelligent traffic lights, for example, can communicate with autonomous cars. This has the potential to make roads safer and ease congestion.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe goal of the Autonomous Ioniq research vehicle is to keep self-driving systems as simple as possible. This has been accomplished by using the production car\u2019s Smart Cruise Control\u2019s forward-facing radar, blind-spot detection radars in the corners of the vehicle and Lane Keeping Assist camera, which are integrated with LiDAR technology.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHyundai is one of the few companies who have already started development of Level 4 autonomous driving in the C-segment. In coming years, Hyundai Motor Group will further invest to accelerate their development.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAlready now the company cooperates with Aurora. This move will strengthen the strategic partnership formed between the companies in 2018, under which Hyundai, Kia and Aurora have been collaborating on self-driving technologies on Hyundai\u2019s flagship fuel cell vehicle, Nexo. With the new investment, the companies have agreed to expand research to a wide range of models and to build an optimal platform for Hyundai and Kia\u2019s autonomous vehicles.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u201cWith the Level 4 Autonomous Ioniq research vehicle, we are already thinking one step ahead by looking at how the car industry, technology and infrastructure have to change in order to be fit for future mobility. Hyundai will continue to invest in autonomous driving technologies to speed up their development,\u201d says Andreas-Christoph Hofmann, VP Marketing & Product at Hyundai Motor Europe.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nClick here\n for our review and impressions of the Hyundai Ioniq in Malaysia!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car to Carsome!

The local line-up comes in a 2.4-litre petrol and 2.2-diesel engines with two variants of Executive and Premium. Visually, the exterior design is bold, athletic and has a wide stance. The front showcases Hyundai\u2019s signature cascading grille and is complemented by the composite light \u2013 a mix of functional lamps at the front which includes LED DRLs, headlights and foglights. Look at the brand\u2019s current SUVs \u2013 Kona, Nexo and Palisade, and the design language connects.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMove to the side and the sleek roof line and bold side character line runs from the headlights to the taillights to form a fluid design. The rear lights are LED brake units and sport a 3D graphical look (akin to the navigational deflector on a Star Trek Enterprise ship). Separate from this is the reverse, signal and fog lights integrated in the rear bumper.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe model we reviewed is the 2.4-litre Theta II MPi Premium variant. It outputs 170 hp and 225 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm and is mated to a six-speed automatic, with power going to the front wheels. Unfortunately the local petrol units do not come with Hyundai\u2019s variable AWD (HTRAC) system. The AWD system is only reserved for the diesel variants locally.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInside, the Santa Fe is truly special. Hyundai has brought the latest generation to another level when it comes to refinement. For the front driver and passenger, the dashboard design has been sculpted to provide a dual cockpit layout.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe layered style wraps the door trim and upper dashboard together before it opens up to the central unit that connects the air vents, driver cluster and steering wheel. Premium materials of leather cover these parts while the pillar, sun visor and roof trims are wrapped in a stylish grey deluxe cloth.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor the unit tested, the one-tone black interior is garnished in a tactile metallic pattern trim. For owners, there\u2019s a choice of a Black or Burgundy interior (optional extra) for the Premium variants.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to the feature list, there\u2019s plenty to go by. The 7-inch infotainment unit has AUX, USB, Bluetooth with Voice Recognition and is also compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere are two 12W power sockets (one at the front console, and one in the luggage area), four USB A ports (two in the front, and two in the second row) and a Qi charger at the centre front cubby. As for comfort and driver assistance, there\u2019s dual-zone air conditioning, auto lights and wipers, cruise control and the convenience of a one touch access to the third-row seats. The third-row passengers also have access to the button on the second row seat shoulder.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSide seat controls for the front passenger seat make it easy for the second row to adjust more leg room.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAs for leg room on the second and third row, it can be comfortable for the two at the rear most with some allowance in the middle. We say that it is certainly better than other seven-seaters in the market.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHyundai\u2019s Smart Trunk feature is enabled here as well, and when locked, only requires the key to be nearby the trunk area for auto access.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nLuggage space of 547-litres with 3rd row folded opens up to 1,625-litres with the 2nd row down.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nButtons at the trunk make it easy to collapse the second row seats.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe local spec cars also do get a good amount of standard safety \u2013 Six-airbags together with ESC, ABS, Downhill Brake Control, Hill-start Assist Control, Brake Assist Systems, Traction Control and Vehicle Stability Management. The Premium variants add on Rear Occupant Alert, Blind Spot Warning, and Rear Cross Traffic Warning. What we think would be a great addition to this has to be the Safe Exit Assist for the rear doors, and of course autonomous emergency braking.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat\u2019s it like to drive? Comfortable. The petrol variant has enough power for the standard day-to-day commute and even with a full passenger load of seven. The ride is nice is pliable without being too soft, and translates well inside the cabin.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nManoeuvring the Santa Fe is impressively sharp, allowing for almost anyone to place it well. This is thanks to the light steering and overall set up. Nonetheless, the latest generation has grown from its predecessor (80 mm longer, 10 mm wider and 65 mm longer wheelbase), and is undoubtedly a larger car. The bulk of it comes when you realise it takes up over the length and almost a full width of a standard parking lot. Yet with the driving aids of all round sensors and reverse camera, parking shouldn\u2019t be too much of a daunting task.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHow do we conclude? The new Santa Fe has been certainly a good experience for us. We can\u2019t believe the lengths Hyundai has taken to insert that premium feel, but it has worked in leaps. The price of \nRM 189,888\n for the Premium petrol puts this alongside other SUVs in the range, but very few are full fledged seven-seaters. Go ahead, check it out and take it for a drive.

From having the Guinness World Record for the fastest street-legal production car in the world for the Veyron Super Sport to the recent fastest 0-400-0 km/h run of 41.96 seconds for the Chiron, it seems that Bugatti (now under the ownership of Volkswagen AG) has got quite a knack for building record breaking speed machines.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nLook back the years and you wouldn\u2019t be wrong, the youngest son of Carlo Bugatti, Ettore was drawn to mechanical arts at an early age, winning a gold medal at the 1901 Milan trade fair for his car design. Through time, work and opportunity, Ettore soon made a name for himself when he designed a 1400cc 4-cylinder car and displayed it at the 1910 Paris Automobile Show, it was this time that the name Bugatti soon came into the world stage.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe 1930 Bugatti Type 35 B/T. \nCredit: The Revs Institute\n\n\nAfter World War I, Ettore continued to build and race cars. Through various events and wins, Bugatti soon made a name as a manufacturer of racing cars for private entrants.\n\n\nIt was not until 1924, that a design and manufacture of a car that would break records unlike any other would take shape of the Type 35. From 1927 to 1931, the Blue cars from Bugatti dominated the racing scene. Their fine workmanship and ability to be a racing model competitively provided an added appeal.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCredit: Giphy\n\n\nThe Type 35 featured a stunning streamlined teardrop-shaped bodyshell. It was also a commercial success as Bugatti then sold the Grand Prix model to prosperous privateers, laying the foundation for Molsheim\u2019s Golden Age or otherwise known as \u2018the golden age of Ettore\u2019s creations\u2019. It had to be said however, that the Bugatti Type 35 was the only car from the period that could be driven on both public roads and racetracks.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n11th March 1933: Racing driver R L Bowes in his Type 35B Bugatti car during the Weybridge Senior Mountain Handicap race at Brooklands in Surrey which Bowes won the race with an average speed of 114.5 km/h. \nCredit: J A Hampton/ Getty Images\n\n\nThe Type 35 was the most successful of the Bugatti racing models. It was so phenomenally successful that it won over 1,000 races in its time \u2013 part of which was the Targa Florio for five consecutive years, from 1925 through 1929.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nView from the driver\u2019s cockpit. \nCredit: Sports Car Digest\n\n\nIf Ettore Bugatti had designed only one car, the Type 35B would be enough to make him utterly immortal.

Called the \u201cType 35T\u201d, it shared the 2.3 L with a longer 100 mm stroke. The engine was an SOHC three-valve design and produced 60 hp. It is the same engine used in the Type 40. The Type 35B had 138 hp and a total of 45 examples were made. A British racing green Type 35B driven by William Grover-Williams also triumphed and won the 1929 French Grand Prix at Le Mans.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCredit: Classic Driver\n\n\nThe eight-cylinder Type 35 introduced in 1924, is the most aesthetically satisfying racing car ever made. It represented the high point of Bugatti\u2019s production, as it came at a time when his factory\u2019s meticulous craftsmanship and hand assembly could produce a significantly superior performance. Bugatti later sought to keep up with the industrialised output of his rivals, and the cars leaned towards a larger build. Yet, the lightness, poise and accuracy of the Type 35B were never to be recaptured ever since.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Pur Sang Bugatti Type 35 Replica\n\n\nCredit: Drew Phillips\n\n\nAs fewer than 100 examples of the Type 35 were made, they are rare and expensive classics only sold through auctions today. Just last year, a 1925 Type 35 Grand Prix sold at an auction for $2.6-million. But as rare as these record breaking machines are, there is a company today that hand-builds Type 35 replicas right down to a tee, and they are known as Pur Sang.\n\n\nKnown in the old days of equestrian circles as a genuine thoroughbred, Pur Sang is the name of the Argentinian company that builds these replicas today.

It is in this progress that distances now are counted in minutes instead of kilometres. But how did we get here? From the early 1800s of Francois Isaac de Rivas\u2019 vehicle to the petrol and diesel engines of Nikolaus Otto and Rudolf Diesel, the automobile has seen iterations from Karl Benz\u2019 production vehicle to Ransom E. Olds\u2019 modern assembly line. Yet without the accessibility and mass production of Henry Ford\u2019s Model T, we wouldn\u2019t have the automotive industry with over a billion different vehicles on roads.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWho started the Ford Model T?\n\n\nHenry Ford with the first car he built, and the 10 millionth Model T. \nCredit: Ford\n\n\nHenry Ford (1863 \u2013 1947) was an intuitive engineer from Detroit who acquired a deep understanding of manufacturing techniques. Before the Model T, cars were a rarity on the road and was reserved as a luxury item for the affluent. In 1908, the Ford Model T cost $825 or $18,000 in today\u2019s dollars, which began as one of the early cars in mankind\u2019s history.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nMade for the ordinary people\n\n\nModel T assembled at Highland Park Plant. \nCredit: Ford\n\n\nWith determination and hard work, Ford produced the 10 millionth Model T by 1924.\u00a0\nCredit: Ford\n\n\n1926 Ford Model T assembly line.\n \nCredit: History.com\n\n\nThe car had 22 hp, four-cylinder engine and was pioneered by French race-car makers. Weighed just 544 kilograms, it could go as fast as 64 km per hour running simply on gasoline. There when oil prices dipped in early 20\nth\n century, Ford kept prices low by building just one model.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCredit: History.com\n \n\n\nFord developed a system of interchangeable parts that reduced waste, and made it easy for unskilled workers to assemble the Ford models that started a chain for the Ford Model T. Henry Ford introduced the moving-chassis assembly line in 1913, cutting the 12 hour time to build a full vehicle to a mere 2 hours and 30 minutes. It started a revolution, where workers built motors and transmissions on rope-and-pulley powered conveyor belts that carries the chassis, body parts, little bits and pieces that hasten the entire manufacturing process.\n\n\nThanks to the speed of manufacturing, in 1925, the cost of a Model T could be had for just under $300.\n\n\n\u00a0 \n \n\n\nWhat the Americans wanted\n\n\nBy the 1920s, many Americans weren\u2019t just interested in a durable, well-made car. They wanted something different; something that they could be proud of. Americans wanted optimal speed, luxury and most of all, a simple car that could transport them to their intended destination. This changed the use of horse and carriage to motorised transportation.\n\n\nCredit: Giphy\n \n\n\nThe flexible, well-sprung Model T was most at home when driven in the unmade rural roads and most city roads of the time.\n\n\n\u00a0 \n\n\nDriving the Ford Model T \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n\nThe Model T is the first vehicle that provided the base for motorised transport application at its infancy. Considering that over 15 million Model T\u2019s were made, driving the Model T with its three pedals, solitary hand brake and throttle lever in the modern day would be truly complex. Imagine that the center pedal would engage the reverse gear, with the right pedal; the brake.\n\n\n\u00a0 \n \n \n\n\nCredit: Ford\n \n\n\nOn application, stepping on the pedal all the way to the left, move the throttle lever to \u201cgive it the gas\u201d and gently move the floor lever forward. Once it\u2019s moving, move the right lever up, let off the left pedal to give it more gas to shift into high.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWorldwide Admiration for Fordism\n \n \n\n\nHenry Ford, the man who defined and transformed the middle class of America. \nCredit: Ford\n\n\nThe assembly lines that Ford put in place included things such as timing employees with stopwatches, shaping up their overall punctuality and accuracy at work. Then in 1913, Ford had to employ over 40,000 new hires just to reclaim 13,000 workers back on the job. In order to reduce his employee\u2019s turnover rate, Ford decided to pay his employees more just so they wouldn\u2019t quit. It was a plan that did not seem to make any sense at that very moment, but it certainly helped in keeping productivity up and beyond the expectations of Henry Ford.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThousands of job seekers descended upon the Highland Park Ford plant after Henry Ford announced his $5 per day wage\n. \nCredit: Ford\n\n\nThe Model T had a great significance as a symbol and advertisement for Ford\u2019s production-line techniques and became a phenomenon worldwide. Thus, the eighteenth-century Scottish philosopher Adam Ferguson wrote, \u2018Mechanical arts succeed best under a total suppression of sentiment and reason\u2019. Ford and his methods impressed both Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin which may have given inspiration for the birth of Volkswagen in later years.\n\n\n\u00a0 \n\n\nVolkswagen has been around for decades and took pride too in building cars for the people. \nClick here\n to read about the 40th anniversary of the Golf GTI.\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDo you have a car to sell?

However, a look at the T87's shape, and you could have an idea why.\n\n\n\n\n    Although mostly unknown, Tatra ranks among one of the oldest automobile manufacturers in the world, with its story beginning as far back as 1897. It was in Koprivnice in Moravia (today known as Czech Republic) that the company was started by Hans Ledwinka in 1930.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    Through cooperation with various figures including Paul Jaray, who worked at Luftschiffbau Zeppelin and had experience with the aerodynamic design of airships, the T87 was actually the successor to the T77.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: Gie\u0142da klasyk\u00f3w\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit:\n\u00a0\nGie\u0142da klasyk\u00f3w\u00a0\n \n\n\n\n\n\n    Together with design engineer Erich Ubelacker, they decided that properly streamlined bodywork would be the important part of technical development. Ledwinka was a genius for a man of his time, excelling in automotive design and introduced the modern day standard items such as four-wheel brakes and independent suspension, way before many others.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow Did Tatra Began?\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: RM Sothebys\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBefore taking the route to become a carmaker, Tatra built carriages and wagons for decades \u2013 its foundations in 1850. Thanks to its history, it is the world\u2019s third oldest carmaker after Mercedes-Benz and Peugeot. In 1999, the company stopped production of passenger cars and went into manufacturing trucks, which they still do today. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDesign Concept\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: Hemmings Daily\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: Hemmings Daily\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe production of the T87 began in 1936 and reached new heights as it was basically a simpler and more affordable model. Its shorter wheelbase of 124-inches and Bauhaus-style seating inside provided comfortable seating for six too. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe T77 and T87 are considered to be one the first vehicles to be developed in a wind tunnel. The result is a minimisation of air resistance, maximisation of speed and a reduction of fuel consumption. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAircraft-Like Engine\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: Hemmings Daily\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe engine is basically a small aircraft engine. In the 1930s, Ledwinka began working with his son Erich Ubelacker to build Tatra sedans with air-cooled, rear-mounted V8 engines. Powering the T87 is a 2.9 litre air-cooled overhead cam V8 that produces 85 hp, which is mechanically alike the aircraft and Zeppelin engine. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: Hemmings Daily\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn realizing Paul Jaray\u2019s idea (the Hungarian designer of the Graf Zeppelin to construct the Type T77), a rear engine was needed in which Ledwinka liked because it made for an unusual and quiet front interior, dispensed with the propeller shaft between the front engine and rear wheels. Low floor, with greater leg space, fewer power losses and higher efficiency. The early 850cc Tatra with rear engine had a close resemblance to the first prototypes for The KdF-Wagen, Volkswagen. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDrivetrain\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs Jay Leno wrote on \nPopular Mechanics\n\u00a0of the high-mileage cruiser of the \u201830s, he felt that his \"T87 was mechanically different from any other automobile he has ever owned. A rigid tubular-backbone chassis, two crown-wheel gears (one on each rear-axle shaft that pivots around a pair of differential spur gears). To equalize weight distribution, two spare tyres are placed in the front. Besides, since the engine and gearbox are at the rear, the 87 is still heavy on the tail-end and tends to spin easily.\" \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch Jay Leno go for a spin in his\n 1938 Tatra T87\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u2026together with a Lamborghini Miura. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: Dark Roasted Blend\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDue to the enormous pressure from Hitler to develop the KdF-Wagen in a short period and on a budget, it was clear that the original VW Beetle was heavily inspired by Tatra, using several of its patents. Just before World War 2, the company had a many legal claims against VW. However before a settlement was completed by Ferdinand Porsche, Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia and gained control over the Tatra factory. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDriving It \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\"Driving a Tatra produces the uneasy exhilaration which may be got from shampooing a lion.\u201d\n \u2013 Gordon Wilkins \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPost-War Vehicle\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nHans Ledwinka alongside the Tatra T87 that he designed and constructed.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: Sextant Blog\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia, Hans Ledwinka was imprisoned for six years, then later sent back to Austria.

While original 2CVs came with an air-cooled 375cc two-cylinder engine, the 9 hp could even hit over 60 km/h. Later upgrades boosted power to 14 hp and by the 1970s, had a 602cc engine with 33 hp.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    Thanks to the clever design of the suspension, the basis of it allowed the car to be driven as spiritedly and cornered sharply that it was also impossible to roll a 2CV, due the narrow front tyres and long-travel suspension.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit:\u00a0\ndreamaticl.com\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit:\n Top Gear\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n    It was a car that is as basic as could be.

Alfa's Giulietta Sprint is a sports car produced by the brand from 1954 to 1965, where throughout the years produced saloon, coupe, spider and estate versions.\n\n\n\n\n    The final design of the car is a Franco Scaglione signature who was at Bertone, the 2-door coupe with a front mounted engine that transmits power through the rear wheels. The first Giulietta in the Sprint coupe form was introduced at the 1954 Turin Motor Show. There was one thing Alfa didn't expect, it's popularity.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Giulietta Sprint coupe's first appearance at the 1954 Turin Motor Show.\u00a0 Credit: \nPetrolicious\n\n\n\n\n\n    The sporty Giulietta Sprint was originally made as a teaser in preparation for the Giulietta saloon that was to be launched the next year. This meant that only 12 of the original Sprint units were registered in 1954 because they were completely unique builds.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: \nPetrolicious\n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    Because of the successful reception of the Giulietta Sprint at the Motor Show, Alfa received more than 700 orders alone at the event. This was a complete surprise (and a definite success), because the price of the Giulietta Sprint at the time was more than 1.7-million lire. Considering a television set cost 180,000 lire at the time, the Sprint was a luxury.\n\n\n\n\n    Thanks to Bertone's attractive design that came with the Giulietta, the body shop also gained popularity. To meet demands, Bertone opened a new plant on the outskirts of Turin in 1960, turning his shop into an industry.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: \nClassic Driver\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit:\u00a0\nClassic Driver\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit:\u00a0\nClassic Driver\n\n\n\n\n\n    The car's proportions \u2013 3,980 mm in length, 1,540 mm in width and 1,320 mm in height, the Giulietta Sprint\u2019s profile made it look like it was born and built to race.

In order to maintain a good resale value for your car in the future, it\u2019s important to take care of your car regularly.\n\n\nHere are some tips that will help you take care of your car and why you should do it.\n\n\nTips to Take Care of Your Car\n\n\n\n\nFollow Maintenance Schedule\n\n\nThe easiest way to take care of your car is by following the maintenance schedule that has been set by the manufacturer. This serves as a regular health check-up for your car, and since it\u2019s done by trained technicians, it helps you avoid potentially costly repairs and extend the life of your car by making sure it runs smoothly.\n\n\nBe sure to keep the maintenance records and receipts as it will help you keep track of what has been changed and what needs to be changed. These will also help prove that your car has been well taken care of when the time comes to sell.\n\n\n\n\nCheck Oil & Other Fluids\n\n\nYour car depends on several oils and fluids such as engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid in order to run properly. These oils and fluids need to be checked on a regular basis to keep an eye out for any leaks that will cause damage to your engine.\n\n\nIf there is leakage, identifying the color of the leaking liquid when you report it to the service center, or your mechanic, will help determine where it is coming from. This also will help speed up the repair process.\n\n\nWash Your Car Frequently\n\n\nThis may seem trivial but keeping your car clean is very important. Your car\u2019s exterior is exposed to the sun\u2019s heat, heavy rain, dusty winds, and bird droppings frequently. This will result in damage to your car\u2019s body and paint, which will reduce the value of your car drastically.\n\n\nRegularly washing your car helps prevent corrosion on the body and preserves the paint as well. For improved protection, get your car waxed regularly as well and it will make a difference when the time comes to sell your car.\n\n\n\n\nTake Care of Your Tires\n\n\nSince tires are the main component that connects your car to the ground, it\u2019s important to check on them frequently. \nCheck the pressure of your tires at regular intervals and try to keep their pressure according to the levels recommended by the manufacturer.\n\n\nIt\u2019s also important to rotate your tires to extend their life since tires will wear down differently depending on the car, speed, as well as the road it is used on. \nDriving around with worn-out and underinflated tires are dangerous and will compromise your safety while traveling.\n\n\nCheck on Your Lights\n\n\nAfter driving your car for a while, you might notice that some of your lights may have gotten dull or they might not be working at all. Proper working lights for your car are crucial to ensure your safety by making you visible to other drivers on the road while driving.\n\n\nIf you have a faulty bulb, notify the service center or your mechanic to get it fixed. For dull lights, cleaning the lenses or replacing dim bulbs should keep it functional. But be sure to use proper bulbs so you don\u2019t blind other drivers on the road.\n\n\nRead:\n \nThinking of Selling Your Car? Here Are 17.5 Things to Improve Your Car\u2019s Value\n\n\nReasons to Maintain Your Car\n\n\nSlow Down the Depreciation Rate\n\n\nThe more you use your car, the more it will depreciate in value. Regularly maintaining your car helps to secure a higher resale value when you want to sell it in the future.\n\n\nFollowing the recommended maintenance schedule ensures the car is cared for and is in good working condition, while it also provides you with a pleasant driving experience.\n\n\nWhen the time comes to sell your car, being able to prove that the car has been well maintained allows you to obtain a better price for it.\n\n\n\n\nReduce Repair Costs\n\n\nUnexpected repairs can be expensive but with regular checkups, they can be avoided. Routine car maintenance allows you to spot and fix any minor issues before they turn into major problems that might cost you thousands to repair.\n\n\nFollowing the maintenance schedule ensures your car stays in optimum condition and it also costs considerably less than a major repair. Don\u2019t forget to keep the maintenance records as well since it will help retain the resale value of your car.\n\n\nMaintain Vehicle Safety\n\n\nThe main reason to take care of your car regularly is to ensure your car is safe to drive. With regular maintenance, it ensures that all the parts of your car are working well and are in proper condition at all times.\n\n\nYou and your family will be spending a substantial amount of time in your car, so a well-maintained car is important to allow you to drive with peace of mind, either for a short trip or a long journey.\n\n\nRead: \nHow Your Neglect Affects Your Car\u2019s Resale Value\n\n\nSell to Carsome for the Best Price Offer\n\n\nSelling your car for the first time can lead to many headaches associated with the long-winded process.

But this may not be the case.\n\n\n\n\nGenerally, the value of a new car depreciates nearly 20 percent after its first year. After a few years, you might end up with a car that has lost up to half of its original value. Before you sell your car, it\u2019s important to consider what can be done to increase your car\u2019s resale value. Here are 17.5 things that you can do to improve your car\u2019s resale value.\n\n\n1. Buy a Car with Good Resale Value\n\n\nTaking good care of your car\u2019s resale value begins even before you own a car. To guarantee a good resale value, you should buy a model or brand that retains its value.\n\n\nIt\u2019s best to look for a reputable brand that is popular, reliable, has great features, as well as has easy access to service centers.\n\n\nSome models that are known to hold their resale value very well in Malaysia include the Perodua Myvi, Honda Civic, and Toyota Vios.\n\n\n\n\nRead:\n Cars in Malaysia that hold the Highest Resale Value after 5 years\n\n\n2. Pick a Car with Proper Safety Features\n\n\nSince owning a car is a lifelong investment, it\u2019s best to choose a car that comes with proper safety features. This will help you stay safe when driving while retaining the resale value of your car in the future!\n\n\nImagine that in the future, the government requires all cars being sold to have anti-lock braking systems (ABS) or seat belts reminders equipped. The absence of such systems would cause the price of your car to drop significantly in the future.\n\n\nThis also works to add appeal to your vehicle when the time comes to sell. For example, if your car is equipped with a reverse camera, parking sensors as well as a blind-spot warning system, it will attract a higher price compared to other cars without these systems.\n\n\nSome must-have safety systems include Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) to name a few.\n\n\nRead:\n Modern Safety Features You Should Have in Your New Car\n\n\n3. Opt for a Longer Warranty\n\n\nPeople hardly think about the warranty when it comes to selling a used car but it\u2019s actually an important bargaining chip.\n\n\nIf you can extend the warranty of your current car, it\u2019s a great idea to take up the offer, especially if it is guaranteed to cover major components such as the engine and transmission.\n\n\nThe extension will provide you and the future owner of your vehicle peace of mind when it comes to unexpected breakdowns.\n\n\n4. Go for Plain Colors\n\n\nIs your car covered in funky colors and striking graphics? While you might consider your car as a unique piece of art, not everyone will share the same idea as you. After all, art is subjective.\n\n\nVehicles in bright colors like red, purple, or yellow usually have a lower resale value since these colors tend to be quite difficult to take care of. Under Malaysia\u2019s hot and humid weather, it won\u2019t take long for the colors to fade.\n\n\nVehicles in basic colors such as white, black, and silver are known to hold their resale value well since they\u2019re easy to maintain and clean. Plus, they hide scratches well too.\n\n\n\n\n5. Drive Safely\n\n\nOne of the best ways to maintain the resale value of your car is to drive it carefully and efficiently. Aggressive driving puts a lot of stress on your car, which in turn speeds up the wear and tear of the car\u2019s components.\n\n\nProper driving habits keep the car in good working condition. This can also reduce the amount of maintenance on components like the brakes and tires in the long run.\n\n\nOn top of that, safe driving helps to prevent an accident from happening. A major accident will drastically reduce the value of your car, especially frame damage is involved.\n\n\nThis will make it even more difficult to sell your car in the future since it will show up in your vehicle history report.\n\n\n6. Keep the Mileage Low\n\n\nAnother important factor that helps maintain your car\u2019s value is low mileage. A high mileage indicates a car has been through a lot of wear and tear.\n\n\nEven in mint condition, once your car\u2019s mileage exceeds 100,000 kilometers, the resale value will drop considerably. If you\u2019re thinking about selling your vehicle, it\u2019s best to do it around the 80,000 to 90,000 kilometer mark.\n\n\nAn average Malaysian driver covers 28,188 kilometers in a year. Next time when a long-distance trip comes to mind, you might want to reconsider driving your car to avoid any unnecessary mileage as well as wear and tear.\n\n\n\n\n7. Regular Maintenance\n\n\nThe next best way to preserve the resale value of your car is by getting under the hood regularly. Also, it\u2019s one of the easiest things to do on this list.\n\n\nAll you need to do is follow the manufacturer\u2019s scheduled maintenance and ensure that it is done at authorized service centers.\n\n\nTaking proper care of your car will help avoid unnecessary repairs and save you money in the long run. Moreover, buyers are more than willing to offer extra money for a car with a well-maintained history.\n\n\n\n\n8. Park Properly\n\n\nMalaysia\u2019s weather is hot, humid, and unpredictable. The same can be said about Malaysian parking lots as well. When it comes to parking, you have to watch where you park and what you park next to.\n\n\nTry to park under the shade to protect the paint from fading under the sun. But stay away from trees since you can end up with leaves and bird droppings on your car.\n\n\nTry to park in a lot with a good amount of space for your car. Also, try to stay away from parking next to big or bulky vehicles since these can result in scratches and bumps on your car.\n\n\n\n\n9. Modify Moderately\n\n\nModifying your car with aftermarket parts seems fun, but only if you can find a buyer that appreciates your work.\n\n\nGiant rims, turbo kits, or high-end stereos may lower the resale value of your car in the future, especially if these parts cause problems with the car.\n\n\nIf you really want to spruce up your car, try accessories that add value and are useful in the long run such as a modern infotainment system, proper window tints, or leather seats.\n\n\nAdding too many customizations will cause future buyers to look the other way so try to keep it as close to stock as possible.\n\n\n\n\n10. Keep the Exterior Squeaky Clean, Always\n\n\nA clean-looking car is a valuable car. If you\u2019re going to sell your car, potential buyers will judge the exterior first and whatever price they offer will be based on how clean the exterior looks.\n\n\nA proper wash once every month will do wonders for your car in the long run. If you can afford to pay for some extra care, apply a coating like ceramic nano coating on your car too.\n\n\nRegular washing and coating will help to preserve the color of your car, remove blemishes, and prevent fading as well.\n\n\n\n\n11. Keep the Interior Clean Too\n\n\nAside from the exterior, it\u2019s just as important to keep the interior of your car clean. A well-kept interior will appeal to buyers more.\n\n\nBad odors can stick to the car interior like invisible glue. Habits like smoking and carrying pungent food in the car can lead to hard-to-remove, stubborn odors.\n\n\nStains and crumbs are also a major deal-breaker for car buyers too. Eating in the car is never a good idea, usually resulting in messy stains and worse, roach or ant infestation.\n\n\nRegularly vacuuming the interior will help keep everything clean, while using proper cleaners will maintain the look of interior plastics as well as leather. Investing in air fresheners will also do wonders for your car.\n\n\nRead:\u00a0\nTips on Cleaning and Disinfecting Your Car\u2019s Cabin\n\n\n12. Check Those Warning Lights\n\n\nIf there is any particular symbol that lights up on your car\u2019s dashboard, you should check them immediately since it indicates an issue with your car.\n\n\nIgnoring warning lights can lead to more problems in the future and this gives future buyers an opportunity to decrease their offer to purchase the car.\n\n\nA simple trip to the service center can solve the underlying issue highlighted by the warning light.\n\n\n\n\nRead:\u00a0\nA Guide to Car Warning Lights and Indicators\n\n\n13. Replace Damaged Components\n\n\nIf you discover any damaged components on your car, it\u2019s best to replace them no matter how minor. They could be the reason you end up with a price that is lower.\n\n\nIt could be a faulty power window, dim headlights, a cracked rim, a knob that doesn\u2019t turn, or maybe even a missing nut on the wheels. Dealing with these issues when they occur could help you save money from a major repair and improve the car\u2019s resale value.\n\n\n14. Take Care of the Rims & Tires\n\n\nTires and rims are critical items that should be paid attention to since car buyers will pay a lot of attention to them. If they look old and worn-out, it gives the impression that the car is not properly maintained and has been through heavy usage.\n\n\nBe sure to clean and shine them properly so they look like new before you decide to sell your car. If there\u2019s any damage, it\u2019s best to replace them.\n\n\n\n\nRead:\n\u00a0\nWhat You Need to Know about Car Tires\n\n\n15. Fix All Dents & Scratches\n\n\nAfter years of driving your car around, you will inevitably accumulate dents and scratches all over the car. Dents and scratches, no matter how small, will make your car seem unappealing to buyers.\n\n\nIf left alone, these small flaws could lead to major damage like rust. You can easily avoid putting off potential buyers by sending your car to an auto body shop to fix the unsightly dents and buff out scratches.\n\n\n16. Send Your Car for Detailing\n\n\nBefore meeting your potential buyer, it\u2019s best to send your car for proper detailing. Buyers will be more attracted to a car that looks clean and showroom shiny.\n\n\nOn top of that, when the car looks its best, it also tells the buyer that your car has been properly maintained. This will give them more confidence in their decision to purchase the car.\n\n\n\n\n17. Prepare Proper Documentations\n\n\nA proper business deal can only happen with the proper documentation. These papers will help convince your potential buyer that the car is legally owned by you and all the maintenance it went through did indeed happen.\n\n\nKeeping an organized file containing the registration papers, vehicle grant, ownership history, service invoices, service logbook, etc. can be used as a bargaining chip.\n\n\nRead:\u00a0\nLost Your Grant?

But don\u2019t lose hope just yet as the government is considering restarting interstate travel in Malaysia with SOPs in the very near future.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nOpening of State Borders \u2013 Interstate Travels with Sops\n\n\nOn 3 September 2021, Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin stated that Malaysians could be allowed to travel interstate with SOPs in the near future. He urged everyone to be patient as the ministry is ironing out the finer details and SOPs before presenting the plan to the National Security Council (MKN).\u00a0\n\n\nWhat\u2019s hindering the lifting of the interstate travel ban is an uneven vaccination rate. While Malaysia has seen some of the fastest vaccination rates in the entire world, there are still states that are lagging. That being said, the vaccination rate is expected to reach 90 percent across all states by the end of October 2021.\u00a0\n\n\nOn 22 September 2021, the Special Committee on Pandemic Management agreed to the opening of tourism centers, islands, and tourist areas as well as interstate travel throughout Malaysia when the adult population vaccination rate reaches 90 percent. In anticipation of this, The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture has already put into place a travel bubble to Langkawi as a Tourism Recovery Plan initiative.\n\n\nLangkawi Opening as a Pilot Destination:\u00a0 What You Need to Know\n\n\nAs an initiative under the Tourism Recovery Plan, the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture has announced that Langkawi will be opened again as a pilot destination to fully vaccinated local tourists, starting from 16 September 2021. The Langkawi travel bubble will be used as a starting point for reviving other domestic tourism destinations and international borders. This is coupled with a comprehensive list of interstate travel SOPs to ensure everyone\u2019s safety. Finally, Malaysians can travel interstate.\n\n\nSOPs for the Langkawi Travel Bubble\n\n\n\n\nAll travelers aged 18 and above and children aged between seven to 17 have to take an RT-PCR or RTK-Antigen test prior to their trip.\u00a0\n\n\nAll travelers must be fully vaccinated for at least 14 days. Children below the age of 18 who are not vaccinated must travel with fully vaccinated parents.\u00a0\n\n\nTourists are required to show their Covid-19 Vaccine E-Certificate when requested by authorities.\u00a0\n\n\nInterstate travels are to be made via flight or land services. Those who wish to travel by land will have to book their transportation via a tour agency.\u00a0\n\n\nMost tourist attractions and activities (with the exception of spas) will be allowed to operate. This includes nature parks, aquariums, zoos, museums, galleries, theme parks, and a variety of activities such as watersports, jungle trekking, hiking, camping, island hopping, and more.\n\n\nFacilities in hotels and homestays such as swimming pools, gyms, and lounges will also be allowed to open as usual.\n\n\n\n\nMore than 10,000 people have traveled to Langkawi in the first week, with single-digit positive Covid-19 case numbers reported during pre-departure tests every day which led to the ministry declaring the travel bubble a success.\u00a0\n\n\nSimilar to Langkawi, the ministry is planning to expand interstate travels with SOPs and reopen several tourist destinations to fully vaccinated tourists soon. The locations include Genting Highlands, Cameron Highlands, Fraser\u2019s Hill, and Janda Baik. Island destinations like Pulau Redang, Pulau Pangkor, Pulau Tioman and states like Melaka will also be reopened. Out of these destinations, three destinations have been shortlisted to reopen on the 1st of October which are Melaka, Pulau Tioman, and Genting Highlands.\u00a0\n\n\nLive Update: Current Malaysian Interstate Travel SOPs\n\n\n\n\nAs more restrictions are eased for fully vaccinated individuals, here are the current SOPs for interstate travel in Malaysia as announced by MKN.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nInter-district travel is allowed for fully vaccinated individuals. The 10-kilometer travel radius restriction has also been lifted.\n\n\nVehicles can also be seated at full capacity (per its seating capacity) provided all passengers are fully vaccinated.\n\n\nLong-distance married couples, as well as parents and guardians who have children under the age of 18, are allowed interstate travel subject to PDRM confirmation.\n\n\nTourism activities are allowed, but only within the same state and for fully vaccinated individuals. Hotel and homestay operators must ensure that their guests show their COVID-19 digital vaccination certificate or card.\n\n\n\n\n#KitaJagaKita: Stay Safe No Matter Where You Are\n\n\nAlthough you may be fully vaccinated, you are still susceptible to the Covid-19 virus and can transmit it to others that you come into contact with. No matter where you are, do not take this virus lightly and always follow the authorities\u2019 advice including interstate travel SOPs strictly. As we move into a new norm of Covid-19 being endemic, let\u2019s continue to do our part in preventing its spread.\u00a0\n\n\nStay safe! #CarsomeCares.\u00a0\n\n", "Haziq Asyraf\nA self-proclaimed foodie and gamer whose passion for food and games has recently extended to cars.", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

At some point when selling a car has been necessary, we've all had or consulted a friend for advice. Why not a car dealer first? Reasons could be convenience, hassle of haggling, a friend wanted to take it off our hands or just that it made sense to do so. Despite this, very few do actually sell cars to their buddies; because it has to be certain that the car is in good condition to benefit your friend and most of all, not put the friendship at bay.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nCan It Be A Win-Win Situation?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Executive chairman of Alibaba Group Jack Ma once said, \"When selling to close friends and family, no matter how much you\u2019re selling, they'll always feel you\u2019re earning their money, no matter how cheap you sell to them, appreciation is far and few.\"\n\n\n\n\n    There's truth to that statement, as the question of \"how much did they earn rather than how much have I saved\" will linger in their minds. Most of the time, many do not look into time and effort needed during a transaction.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: Driveo\n\n\n\n\n\n    This comes to the point \u2013 \u2018Do you treat your friend as a sales client or merely a friend?\u2019. In many cases, if you\u2019re looking to make money by having your car pitched to and sold to your friends, you run the risk of detaching friendships. This would mean years of friendships coming apart due to disagreements in the process of selling a car to your friend. What about other options?\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nGetting End User Pricing\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    One of the plus sides in selling to a friend is that you would obtain an end user price for the sale, instead of going through any middle-men or third-party distribution. There would be less haggling, and you could trust your friend that he or she parts with the vehicle, still in good condition.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nSelling On A Car Website\n\n\n\n\n\n    There are other options out there. Car classifieds where you have to put your car up for sale and wait for various prospective buyers to call you. You could also head to a few car dealers and hope to get the best price for your car. But there's also Carsome. Here are some of the perks that Carsome offers when you sell with us.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nDeal in 24 Hours\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    With Carsome, you can sell your car within 24 hours should you choose to accept the final offer after inspection. Otherwise, there is an option to put your vehicle up for a three-hour bidding where 900 dealers across Malaysia will have access to bid for your car. At the end of the bidding, you have 24 hours to decide whether to accept the highest bid offer.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nNo Hassle with Paperwork\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: Giphy\n\n\n\n\n\n    One of the troublesome parts of selling a car is the paperwork. Think of the process at Puspakom and JPJ where you'll need the B5 or K3 forms to get things going. Fret not, as Carsome handles all the necessary procedures including ownership transfer and payment. You will only deal with Carsome and there will be no third party involved.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nAlmost Instant Payment \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    With a normal transaction, you can choose either cash on delivery, cheque or online transfer.

Here are a few factors that are frequently brought up.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nThe \u201cBefore-The-End-of-The Calendar-Year\u201d Factor\n\n\n\n\n\n    A surprisingly significant number of car owners intend to sell their cars because of this. This is as a turn of the new year would\u2019ve deemed their cars to have aged another year and that supposedly will have drastic effects on the value that the vehicle holds.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRemember this funny uncle from the MyEG advertisements? \nCredit: Screenshot from YouTube\n\n\n\n\n\n    As absurd as it sounds, even if your brand new vehicle was registered, say in May 2016, the car would\u2019ve been evaluated as a 1-year old car when its sold in January 2017. We\u2019re wondering, has anyone ever experienced this?\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nThe \u201cBefore-A-New-Model-Is-Released\u201d\n\n\n\n\n\n    Apparently if you want to sell your car, say for example a 3\nrd\n generation Toyota Vios, it\u2019s best to do so as soon as possible before a new, facelifted model is out as a new release would\u2019ve deemed it to be of lesser value.\n\n\n\n\n    Is there any validity to that perception?\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nThe \u201cAfter-5-Years\u201d Factor\n\n\n\n\n\n    And it gets even more absurd. Often times you hear uncles or aunties, friends or family saying, \u201c5 years old already? Time to sell, problems will start arising\u201d. If only we got a Ringgit every time we heard that slanderous statement being thrown around. Or are we wrong for calling that statement a slanderous one?\n\n\n\n\n    Does a car\u2019s physical condition actually deteriorate that quickly? Wouldn\u2019t it also depend on the way the vehicle has been treated and cared?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Even if it were true, those who can afford this financially-unviable proposition are too few and far between.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nThe \u201cBefore-It\u2019s-10-Years-Old\u201d Factor\n\n\n\n\n\n    When a car\u2019s age hits the 10-year mark, the vehicle in question is supposedly no longer eligible for a bank loan. This would ultimately leave your car\u2019s value to potential buyers, a bit of a hassle. Because they would've to acquire it in cash which understandably forces them to shy away.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Sure, we can understand why banks would be reluctant to approve loans for cars beyond a certain age but is that\n strictly true\n? While we maneuver through this grey area of car loans, we\u2019re pretty sure there are considerations given to individuals of varying circumstances.\n\n\n\n\n    Why would banks not be assured to do business with a person who is of a significant net worth, looking to buy a car that\u2019s nearing or surpassed the 10-year mark, knowing that they\u2019re perfectly capable of repayments? We'd love for some bankers to enlighten everyone on this situation.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nThe \u201cAfter-the-Warranty-has Expired\u201d Factor\n\n\n\n\n\n    Ah the warranties; it\u2019s all about the warranties nowadays isn\u2019t it? Not only does its duration and coverage affect our judgment when buying a new vehicle but it also seems to have an effect when it is time to sell.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: mandfauto.com\n\n\n\n\n\n    Most would opt to sell after the warranty, which is normally when the 5-year period, is over \u2013 with the concern of having to fork out large sums of money for repairs, should major components such as turbo\u2019s, gearbox\u2019s or even engine\u2019s, fail.\n\n\n\n\n    On the other hand, wouldn\u2019t it also affect the buyer\u2019s decision knowing he or she isn\u2019t covered by the warranty anymore? So we\u2019re curious, would the end of a warranty determine your decision to sell a car?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nIt's easier to sell your car than you think!

Istilah biasa berkaitan kereta ini membolehkan anda berkomunikasi dengan orang lain dan menjadikan anda seorang yang (nampak seperti) profesional semasa anda menjual kereta terpakai atau membeli kereta baharu.\n\n\n7 Istilah Biasa Komponen Kereta Yang Anda Perlu Tahu\n\n\nKredit: \nGIPHY\n\n\n1. Kuasa Kuda (\nHorsepower\n)\n\n\nKuasa kuda atau hp merupakan nama bagi unit ukuran bukan metrik kuasa. Istilah kuasa kuda digunakan secara meluas dalam industri kejuruteraan sebagai unit ukuran kuasa maksimum bagi enjin pembakaran dalaman kenderaan seperti kereta. Semakin tinggi bilangan nombor bermaksud semakin banyak kuasa dan keupayaan untuk menolak kereta ke kelajuan yang lebih pantas.\n\n\n2. Jarak Perbatuan (\nMileage\n)\n\n\nPerbatuan merujuk kepada jarak yang diperlukan oleh sesebuah kereta untuk bergerak menggunakan satu liter bahan bakar. Perbatuan dianggap tinggi atau rendah bergantung pada usia kenderaan dan tempoh masa penggunaan di atas jalan raya. Dalam erti kata lain, bergantung pada usia kereta \u2013 perbatuan dianggap tinggi jika jaraknya hampir atau melebihi 100,000 kilometer. Sekiranya sudah mencapai jarak ini, biasanya minyak atau cecair kereta serta alat ganti kenderaan jangka panjang perlu digantikan.\n\n\nKereta lama yang berusia 15 tahun dengan jarak perbatuan sebanyak 100,000 kilometer berada dalam keadaan yang lebih baik berbanding kereta yang berusia 3 tahun dengan jarak yang sama.\n\n\n\n\n3. Nombor Pengenalan Kenderaan (\nVehicle Identification Number\n, VIN)\n\n\nSetiap kenderaan mempunyai nombor pengenalan kenderaan yang unik dan tersendiri. VIN, boleh dianggap sebagai sijil lahir kereta dan terdiri daripada gabungan 17 aksara (nombor dan angka). Nombor ini boleh memberikan banyak maklumat mengenai kereta ini seperti sejarah rekod kenderaan, varian kenderaan, lokasi pengeluaran, spesifikasi dan sebagainya. Nombor ini boleh didapati di beberapa lokasi dalam kenderaan anda seperti pada papan pemuka, panel pintu pemandu dan bawah tempat duduk hadapan.\n\n\n4. Penapis Udara (\nAir Filter\n)\n\n\nPenapis udara boleh diibaratkan seperti pengawal keselamatan bagi kereta anda. Ia berfungsi menapis semua \u2018penceroboh\u2019 daripada memasuki ruang dalaman enjin. Ruang enjin memerlukan secara purata 9,000 liter udara setiap minit. Justeru, penapis udara yang bersih penting dalam mengekalkan kecekapan fungsinya. Apabila penapis udara menjadi terlalu kotor, ia akan menyebabkan bekalan udara kepada enjin berkurangan lalu menyebabkan proses pembakaran menjadi kurang cekap, sekali gus menghalang enjin daripada menghasilkan kuasa yang sepatutnya.\n\n\nPenapis udara yang kotor akan mengurangkan kuasa enjin, namun sama sekali tidak akan menjejaskan kadar penggunaan bahan api kenderaan.\n\n\n\n\n5. Kelikatan Minyak Enjin (\nOil Viscosity\n)\n\n\nKelikatan minyak enjin memainkan peranan yang penting dalam penjagaan kereta. Secara amnya, minyak pelincir kereta diklasifikasikan berdasarkan tahap kelikatan, iaitu merujuk kepada kemampuan minyak tersebut mengalir di bahagian dalam enjin anda. Semakin tinggi angka kelikatan, semakin tinggi kepekatan sesuatu jenis minyak dan semakin tinggi tahap alirannya. Contohnya, minyak pelincir 5W-40: 5W merujuk nombor indeks yang menunjukkan tahap aliran dalam suhu sejuk. Angka 40 pula merujuk tahap aliran minyak dalam keadaan suhu panas.\n\n\nUntuk memastikan tahap kelikatan yang sesuai dengan kereta anda, rujuk buku manual pengguna kereta anda. Anda juga boleh merujuk pada penutup minyak enjin pada kereta anda juga. Terdapat dua jenis minyak pelincir di pasaran iaitu kelikatan tunggal (\nsingle viscosity\n) dan kelikatan pelbagai (\nmulti-viscosity\n).\n\n\n6. Penyejuk (\nCoolant\n)\n\n\nCoolant\n atau penyejuk kereta memainkan peranan penting dalam memastikan enjin anda tidak mengalami masalah kepanasan melampau semasa cuaca panas dan membeku dalam cuaca sejuk yang boleh menyebabkan kerosakan teruk ke atas enjin. Penyejuk ini perlu digantikan secara berkala kerana kualiti perencat karat terbina dalam akan merosot dan merosakkan mana-mana bahagian yang bersentuhan dengannya. Oleh itu, anda disarankan untuk sentiasa memeriksa buku manual anda untuk mengenal pasti tempoh masa yang sesuai untuk menggantikannya.\n\n\n\n\n7. Brek (\nBrake\n)\n\n\nFungsi brek pada sesebuah kenderaan tidak perlu diperkenalkan lagi. Secara amnya, brek berfungsi memperlahankan kereta supaya dapat berhenti dengan selamat dan mengelakkan daripada pelanggaran dengan kenderaan lain atau pejalan kaki. Secara purata, pad brek boleh bertahan sehingga 80,000 kilometer. Namun begitu, ketahanan brek bergantung kepada cara pemanduan, lokasi pemanduan, kekerapan pemanduan dan beberapa faktor lain.\n\n\nSesetengah model kenderaan mempunyai sensor dan penunjuk yang akan memberitahu anda waktu yang sesuai untuk penukaran pad brek. Namun begitu, anda masih boleh mengenal pasti tanda-tanda lain seperti bunyi kuat dari bahagian brek kereta atau melihat sendiri melalui celahan rim untuk mengesan kehausan pad brek.\n\n\nKredit:\n \nGIPHY\n\n\nNamun begitu, jika anda sedang mempertimbangkan untuk menaik taraf kereta lama dan masih memikirkan platform terbaik untuk \nmenjual kereta lama\n anda, anda bolehlah mempertimbangkan\n \nCARSOME\n!

So, what is it? The \nstandard\n cruise control is a system that allows the driver to set the car to maintain a fixed speed without the driver\u2019s input. This is great for long road trips as it reduces fatigue.\n\n\nAdaptive\n cruise control (ACC), on the other hand, is a more advanced cruise control. As the name suggests, adaptive cruise control \nadapts\n to the traffic environment around you. In addition to setting a fixed speed, \nadaptive cruise control \nallows you to set the distance to maintain from the car in front of you. It\u2019s a lot smarter than standard cruise control because it even works during traffic jams. This means that the system will automatically stop the vehicle entirely when it is required to.\n\n\nThere are many \ndifferent types of adaptive cruise controls (ACC)\n using different types of sensors, but the most common ones are radar-based and camera-based sensors. The radar-based sensors are usually positioned in front of the car, usually on a plastic slab. The camera-based sensors on the other hand, are positioned on the back of the vehicle\u2019s rear-view mirror, behind the windshield.\n\n\nBenefits of Adaptive Cruise Control\n\n\n\n\nReduce fatigue, especially during stop-and-go traffic conditions.\n\n\nImproves comfort while driving.\n\n\nHelps drivers to comply with the speed limit, especially on longer journeys.\n\n\nLowers the chances of collisions by controlling your speed and distance from the car in front of you.\n\n\n\n\nHow to Activate or Deactivate the System\n\n\nThe ACC system can be activated or deactivated by using the operational controls on the steering wheel.\u00a0\n\n\nHow to Set the Speed\n\n\nYou can set the speed using the\n +/-\n buttons or when you\u2019re already at the desired speed, just press a button to set it at a fixed speed. Usually, the button has a \nspeedometer\n icon or the \u201c\nSET\n\u201d wording or sometimes the \u201c\nMAIN\n\u201d wording. You can also consult your owner\u2019s manual to learn more about the cruise control function of your car.\n\n\n\n\nCruise control button with speedometer icon\n\n\n\n\nCruise control button with \u201cSET\u201d wording\n\n\n\n\nCruise control button with \u201cMAIN\u201d wording\n\n\nHow to Set the Distance\n\n\nYou can set the distance using the button that has a car and three bars icon. Each bar usually represents one car, so three bars represent three cars\u2019 distance away from your car.\n\n\nUnderstand the Limitations of the Feature\n\n\nDo note that adaptive cruise control (ACC) has its limitations because it cannot cover all driving situations. Here are a few limitations to keep in mind.\n\n\n\n\nACC may not assist in close cut-in scenarios.\n\n\nACC does not detect people or animals.\u00a0\n\n\nACC does not operate properly if the sensors are hindered by dirt, fog, stickers, etc.\n\n\nACC does not operate properly if the sensors are damaged due to a collision.\n\n\nACC does not operate properly on steep downhill roads or curved roads.\n\n\nACC is not a collision-avoidance system; it cannot brake for you if the system doesn\u2019t detect the car in front that suddenly brakes.\n\n\n\n\nWhen Is It Safe to Activate?\n\n\n\n\nDuring long journeys like taking a road trip outstation.\n\n\nWhen you are certain that there is a long stretch of a straight road.\n\n\nWhen your tires are balanced and aligned correctly.\n\n\nWhen your tires have the recommended air pressure.\n\n\nWhen the sensors are not hindered by dirt, fog, stickers, etc.\n\n\nWhen the sensors are not damaged.\n\n\nWhen there is stop-and-go traffic.\n\n\n\n\nWhen Is It Not Safe to Activate?\n\n\n\n\nPoor visibility caused by heavy rain\n\n\nRepeated curved roads\n\n\nRepeated steep roads\n\n\nMisalignment of tires\n\n\nInsufficient tire air pressure\n\n\nOn slippery roads where human intervention may be required if the car loses control or in any other demanding driving conditions.\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nThe Importance of Car Tires\n\n\nHere Are a Few Examples of Cars with Adaptive Cruise Control \nAvailable\n on CARSOME\n\n\n\n\nProton X70\n\n\nHonda Civic\n\n\nHonda CR-V\n\n\nHonda Accord\n\n\nLexus ES250\n\n\n\n\nCheck out our CARSOME Certified Cars with cruise control \nhere\n.\n\n\nAdaptive Cruise Control Should Not Be Mistaken for Autopilot\n\n\nDespite the benefits of adaptive cruise control (ACC), it is recommended to always keep your eyes on the road as the unexpected can always happen. Although ACC can adapt to the traffic environment, it is not a self-driving vehicle and \nmerely acts as a driver\u2019s assistant\n.\n\n\nBuy CARSOME Certified for Peace of Mind\n\n\nHere at CARSOME, we believe in creating an end-to-end buying journey to eliminate the concerns of a traditional used car buying experience. \nCARSOME Certified\n is the new standard of buying pre-owned cars backed up by our \n175-point inspection\n together with our \nCARSOME Certified Refurbishment Process\n.

Selling a car usually entails a few things that is usually long and tiresome. You\u2019d want an easy way to have the least amount of hassle that is involved in the process of selling a car. What isn\u2019t easy? Going through the classifieds and waiting for a buyer, visiting dealerships for the best price, and worst of all, haggling when the going gets tough.\n\n\nWith Carsome, all of the above gets simpler. Read on to find out how.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nResearching for the best price\n\n\nThe Conventional Way\n\n\nHere\u2019s is how it usually works. You\u2019d head on to a classified site to check for the price of the car you\u2019re looking to sell (eg. Perodua Myvi). But the prices you find online are in fact prices that have been set based on its current market value for new owners to purchase at, not the market trade in price that usually a dealer would take in at.\n\n\nThe issue that arises from this is that car prices are dependent on various factors like age, mileage, condition, service record, demand and more. All of which are unique with every individual vehicle.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe Carsome Way\n\n\nAt Carsome, you\u2019d only need to fill in your car\u2019s manufactured year, brand, and model with engine capacity and transmission type, and we\u2019ll return your request with a call on a quotation value of your car.\n\n\nHow do we calculate the price of your car? To date we have over 4,700 cars sold, and have a comprehensive market knowledge and data to evaluate cars realistically. While you might feel that the prices we estimate your car to be low, these prices are numbers that have yet to be assessed by our team of inspectors.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nHave it inspected \n\n\n\n\nThe Conventional Way\n\n\nThere is no assured way to find out the true condition of your vehicle without a trained mechanic or proper equipment at hand. Assuming you engage with your friendly neighbourhood mechanic, you\u2019d still require a fee to compensate him for his services.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Carsome Way\n\n\nWith Carsome, the process is simpler and more efficient. Once you\u2019ve scheduled an appointment with us, our trained inspectors will do a 162-point check on your vehicle at our Inspection Centre\u2019s (which will take 15 to 30 minutes) and put together a report that compiles an estimation of your car\u2019s value at its present state.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nTransaction and Procedures\n\n\nCredit: Linkedin\n\n\nThe Conventional Way\n\n\nWe all do think about the dreaded steps that comes with selling that car. Car registration cards, loans to pay off, these are just the few things. Don\u2019t forget the time taken at Puspakom (Malaysian Computerised Vehicle Inspection Centre) for an inspection, and furthermore at JPJ (Road and Transport Department), you\u2019ll have your patience tested before it even all begins.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe Carsome Way\n\n\nShould you decide to sell your vehicle with us, you can sit back and relax. Should you proceed with our bidding system, we\u2019ll send you a link for you to view your vehicle as it bidded by over 800 dealers in real time. Should you decide to sell, you\u2019ll only need the necessary documents such as Original Registration Card, AP Forms or Purchase Invoice and we\u2019ll do the necessary paperwork right before your eyes!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCredit: Giphy\n\n\nSelling a car isn\u2019t as easy as it looks. It takes time, patience and effort for the seller to go through the necessary before it is eventually sold.\n\n\nBut don\u2019t despair, we\u2019ve made it easy the 21st century way to sell your vehicle, and have many happy customers that can attest to. The only thing you\u2019d need to come to terms with, is letting it go of a vehicle you\u2019ve grown accustomed to and emotionally with, and making way for something new.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhat do you need when selling your car? \nClick here\n to find out the documents required!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nHave no regrets \nselling your car\n through Carsome today! \nFill up the form below\n for a quotation on your vehicle\u2019s price!\n\n", "Carsome Author", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Tapi kalau terpaksa hadap kesesakan yang sama hampir setiap hari, ia boleh memberikan kesan buruk bukan hanya kepada badan, tetapi juga kepada minda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKemurungan dan Kegelisahan Itu Wujud\u00a0\n\n\nProfesor Madya Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Ahmad Zahari, pakar psikiatri di Universiti Malaya berkata bahawa isu kesihatan mental seperti kemurungan dan kegelisahan boleh berlaku jika anda selalu terperangkap di dalam kesesakan trafik.\u00a0\n\n\nSeperti yang dilaporkan oleh \nThe Star\n, Dr. Muhammad berkata,\u201dTekanan akan makin bertambah jika seseorang itu sering lambat untuk ke tempat kerja dan diberikan teguran atau amaran oleh majikan yang boleh memberi kesan kepada emosi dan produktiviti kerja.\u201d\u00a0\n\n\nJika anda ambil tahu lagi tentang isu kesihatan mental ini, anda juga akan tahu bahawa ia boleh menjejaskan kesihatan fizikal juga. Masalah seperti tekanan darah tinggi, sakit jantung, kencing manis, kabur penglihatan, dan pelbagai lagi masalah kesihatan boleh muncul jika ia tidak diberikan perhatian.\u00a0\n\n\nWaktu Pejabat Kena Kembali Anjal\u00a0\n\n\nSepanjang Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) yang disebabkan oleh COVID-19, banyak syarikat telah menjadi lebih anjal dalam penetapan tempat dan masa kerja. Waktu kerja normal di pejabat telah diolah semula supaya anda dan rakan sekerja anda yang lain kekal selamat dan dilindungi.\u00a0\n\n\nIni menyebabkan beberapa perkara. Pertama sekali, walaupun pekerja tidak berada di pejabat seperti kebiasaannya tak bermakna kerja tidak disiapkan. Sebenarnya, ada perusahaan yang lebih berkembang walaupun dengan penetapan kerja yang anjal dari segi masa dan tempat.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nUntuk sebahagian orang, ianya satu kemudahan apabila tak perlu bangun awal pagi dan keluar rumah sebelum matahari terbit. Hanya semata-mata supaya mereka dapat sampai ke pejabat di Kuala Lumpur sebelum jam 9:00 pagi. Kalau tak, mereka dianggap lambat oleh majikan mereka.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\u00a0\nMana Lagi Jimat: Pandu Sendiri Atau Naik Pengangkutan Awam?\n\n\nKeluar Awal Atau Sangkut (Lama) Atas Jalan\u00a0\n\n\nSaya sendiri tinggal di Bangi dan pejabat saya terletak di Mid Valley (bukan di tengah Lumpur pun) dan saya perlu keluar rumah seawal 6:30 pagi hanya semata-mata untuk elak tersangkut dalam kesesakan teruk selepas plaza tol Sungai Besi.\n\n\nRamai orang bergantung kepada jalan ini untuk ke tempat kerja dan kesesakan menjadi bertambah teruk selepas perintah kawalan pergerakan ditamatkan oleh kerajaan Malaysia untuk memasuki fasa endemik.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSekarang, banyak syarikat telah kembali kepada masa kerja normal yang bermakna ramai orang yang nak elak tersangkut dalam kesesakan jalan yang semakin teruk kini terpaksa keluar sebelum matahari terbit dan pulang ke rumah apabila hari dah gelap. Ini sangat menyedihkan untuk mereka yang dah berkeluarga,\u00a0 dan itu akan memburukkan lagi keadaan kesihatan mental.\u00a0\n\n\nApa Yang Boleh Dibuat?\n\u00a0 \n\n\nTak nak tersangkut dalam kesesakan jalan memerlukan pengurusan masa yang mantap. Bangun awal, siapkan semuanya lebih awal seperti menyediakan sarapan dan menghantarkan anak ke sekolah, dan keluar bekerja sebelum jalan mula sesak adalah penting.\u00a0\n\n\nSyarikat dan perusahaan pula boleh dan sepatutnya meneruskan dengan waktu kerja anjal yang diamalkan seperti mana sebelum memasuki fasa endemik. Strategi yang sama yang digunakan syarikat konsesi lebuh raya yang menyarankan waktu terbaik untuk keluar pada musim perayaan.\u00a0\n\n\nTimbalan Menteri Sumber Manusia, Datuk Awang Hashim mengatakan bahawa pekerja di Malaysia boleh memohon untuk \nAturan Kerja Fleksibel\n daripada majikan masing-masing bermula 1 September 2022 tetapi ia telah ditangguh ke tahun 2023.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSelain daripada waktu kerja yang anjal, sistem giliran juga boleh digunakan tetapi ia perlu dipertimbangkan dan disesuaikan dengan operasi perniagaan syarikat. Ia boleh dilaksanakan dengan perancangan dan kira-kira yang betul.\u00a0\n\n\nKita dah pernah buat sebelum ini, kenapa kita tak boleh ulang kembali atau cuma teruskan dengan aturan anjal ini?\u00a0\n\n\n\u201cKesihatan mental anda ialah segalanya \u2013 dahulukan ia.

Kematian yang disebabkan tidur dalam kereta yang sedang hidup dengan pendingin hawa yang terpasang. Sudah banyak kes ini terjadi dan dilaporkan tetapi masih ada lagi segelintir orang kita yang masih lagi melakukan amalan ini.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: Kosmo\n\n\nPunca Kematian Semasa Tidur dalam Kereta\u00a0\n\n\nApa sebenarnya punca utama kematian semasa tidur dalam kereta? Pendingin hawa ke? Bukan!\u00a0\n\n\nPunca biasa kematian semasa tidur dalam kereta ialah kebocoran gas karbon monoksida (CO) yang masuk ke dalam ruang dalaman kereta. Tapi, dari mana pula datangnya gas karbon monoksida ini?\u00a0\n\n\nMungkin ramai yang tidak mengetahui bahawa pembakaran enjin kereta akan melepaskan beberapa gas karbon seperti karbon dioksida dan juga karbon monoksida. Sepatutnya, kedua-dua gas ini akan disalurkan keluar melalui \nekzos kereta\n.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTetapi boleh juga terjadi apabila adanya kerosakan yang menghasilkan lubang pada mana-mana bahagian bawah badan kereta atau sistem ekzos menyebabkan gas karbon ini yang sepatutnya disalurkan keluar masuk ke dalam ruang kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nGas karbon monoksida ini tidak menyebabkan bahaya yang jelas jika dihidu dalam persekitaran terbuka. Menurut Institut Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Pekerjaan Negara (NIOSH) dan Persatuan Kesihatan dan Keselamatan Pekerjaan (OSHA), dos selamat gas karbon monoksida ini untuk manusia cumalah 9ppm (bahagian per juta).\u00a0\n\n\nBahaya sangat ke gas karbon monoksida ini? Ia sangat-sangat berbahaya! Terutama sekali jika anda terhidu untuk jangka masa yang lama dalam ruang yang tertutup.\u00a0\n\n\nBerapakah dos yang bahaya untuk manusia? 200ppm cukup untuk berbahaya jika terdedah untuk beberapa jam manakala pendedahan kepada 800ppm dos karbon monoksida selama beberapa minit sahaja sudah cukup membawa maut!\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nYang paling menakutkan ialah, keracunan karbon monoksida ini tiada simptom yang jelas kerana gas itu sendiri yang tidak berbau dan tidak berwarna. Tahu-tahu, dah \u2026. Kami pun tak sanggup nak habiskan ayat ini.\n\n\n\u201cKalau macam tu, kita buka sikit tingkap kereta masa tidur. Mesti selamat kan macam tu?\u201d\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSebenarnya, jika anda buka tingkap sedikit semasa enjin kereta sedang dihidupkan pun tidak menjamin keselamatan anda. Sekalipun tingkap dibuka sedikit, gas karbon monoksida tetap ada kerana ia sentiasa masuk ke dalam kereta melalui lubang selagi mana enjin masih lagi hidup.\n\n\nCara Nak Elakkan Kebocoran Gas Karbon Monoksida\u00a0\n\n\nSekalipun anda tidak tidur dalam kereta pun, kebocoran karbon monoksida dalam kereta tetap berbahaya kepada pemandu dan penumpang. Anda kena ingat yang tiada simptom kesihatan yang jelas jika anda mengalami keracunan gas karbon monoksida ini!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIni merupakan antara tanda-tanda awal yang anda boleh kenal pasti jika anda terkena keracunan gas karbon monoksida:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSakit kepala\u00a0\n\n\nMual\u00a0\n\n\nSusah bernafas\n\n\nSerangan jantung\n\n\nSawan\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIni kami kongsikan beberapa cara yang anda boleh amalkan untuk mengelakkan terjadinya kebocoran gas karbon monoksida ini:\u00a0\n\n\n1. Beli dan Letakkan Pengesan Gas Karbon Monoksida\u00a0\n\n\nAnda sebenarnya boleh beli pengesan gas karbon monoksida ini dan letakkannya di dalam kereta anda. Ia mudah dibeli di platform seperti Shopee seperti model di bawah:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nkalau anda nak beli pengesan seperti ini, ia ada dijual \nDI SINI\n.\n\n\nAda pelbagai jenis pengesan gas ini dijual. Ada yang murah dan ada juga yang agak mahal sedikit. Anda boleh beli mana-mana sesuai dengan keperluan dan bajet anda.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Lepas \nAccident\n, Terus \nRepair\n!\u00a0\n\n\nAntara punca gas karbon dioksida boleh bocor ke dalam ruang kereta adalah adanya lubang pada bahagian kereta terutamanya pada bawah kereta. Lubang yang kecil saja sudah mencukupi untuk membolehkan gas karbon monoksida ini masuk ke dalam kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSalah satu punca wujudnya lubang ini adalah kemalangan terutamanya pada bahagian bawah kereta. Jadi, jika terjadinya kemalangan yang menyebabkan kerosakan terutama pada bahagian bawah kereta, anda perlu baikinya dengan cepat!\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan\n: \nOri atau Palsu? Macam Mana Nak Bezakan Alat Ganti Kereta yang Anda Beli?\n\n\nKewujudan lubang kecil itu mungkin akan diabaikan kerana adanya kerosakan yang tidak dibaiki dengan betul.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Periksa Sistem Ekzos Dengan Kerap\u00a0\n\n\nRamai yang ambil ringan tentang sistem ekzos terutama jika kereta lama. Ekzos yang lama boleh berkarat dan menjadi nipis. Besi sistem ekzos yang nipis boleh menjurus kepada kebocoran sistem ekzos lalu menyebabkan ada gas karbon monoksida yang boleh masuk ke dalam kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJadi, periksa sistem ekzos anda secara berkala terutamanya jika anda memiliki kereta lama ataupun kereta anda pernah mengalami kemalangan sebelum ini. Jika ada apa-apa bahagian yang perlu dibaiki, anda boleh terus tukar untuk mengelakkan bencana seperti ini berlaku kepada anda dan juga keluarga anda.\u00a0\n\n\nRancang Perjalanan Anda\n\n\nUntuk mengelakkan anda kena tidur semasa dalam perjalanan yang panjang, seeloknya rancanglah perjalanan anda. Elakkan memulakan perjalanan panjang pada waktu malam. Pastikan badan anda mendapat rehat yang secukupnya sebelum memulakan perjalanan. Periksa juga kenderaan anda sebelum memulakan perjalanan untuk mengelakkan kecelakaan terjadi.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nJalan Sesak Boleh Sebab Masalah Kesihatan Mental Yang Teruk!\n\n\nNamun, jika anda terpaksa juga untuk tidur semasa dalam perjalanan, ini apa yang boleh kami sarankan:\u00a0\n\n\n1. Tidur di Tempat Yang Selamat\u00a0\n\n\nAnda boleh berehat dan tidur di mana-mana hentian rehat dan rawat (RnR) sepanjang perjalanan anda. Tetapi, anda tidak digalakkan untuk tidur di dalam kereta. Bagi yang beragama Islam, anda mungkin boleh tidur di dalam surau. Pastikan anda tidak mengganggu jemaah lain untuk solat di situ. Bahagian penjuru yang jauh daripada mimbar merupakan antara lokasi terbaik.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: Sharing is Power\n\n\nJika tiada, anda boleh pilih untuk tidur di kawasan terbuka seperti di pondok rehat yang ada banyak dibina di kawasan RnR. Tak perlu malu dan segan keran anda bukannya melakukan kesalahan. Pastikan di kawasan tersebut ada ramai orang.\u00a0\n\n\nJika anda ingin tidur di tempat-tempat ini, jangan bawa dompet anda. Cukup sekadar bawa kad pengenalan, kunci kereta, serta sedikit tunai jika perlu.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Tidur di Hotel\u00a0\n\n\nJika anda ada sedikit lebihan wang dan masa, apa salahnya untuk anda tidur di hotel. Tak perlu hotel yang mahal-mahal. Menginap di hotel bajet pun dah mencukupi. Anda boleh datang terus ke hotel berdekatan anda atau buat tempahan melalui apa-apa aplikasi hotel yang ada.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: Booking.com\n\n\nApalah sangat duit yang anda bayar untuk bilik hotel jika nak dibandingkan dengan jaminan keselamatan yang anda akan dapat. Selesa pun selesa!\u00a0\n\n\nBoleh Ke Tidur Dalam Kereta Yang Tak Dihidupkan?\u00a0\n\n\nSebenarnya, tidur dalam kereta yang tidak dihidupkan juga boleh. Tetapi cara ini kami tidak galakkan atas sebab keselamatan dan juga keselesaan.\u00a0\n\n\nAnda boleh tidur dalam kereta yang enjinnya dimatikan dan tingkap ditutup. Pada waktu malam mungkin boleh dibuat tetapi sanggupkah anda buat begini pada waktu tengah hari atau petang dengan suhu persekitaran yang sangat panas? Suhu dalam kereta boleh menjadi lebih panas daripada luar kereta yang boleh menyebabkan anda boleh terkena dehidrasi!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSekalipun anda buka tingkap pun, persekitaran dan suhu kereta yang panas akan menyebabkan ketidakselesaan. Melainkan anda sanggup untuk berpanas dan berpeluh dalam kereta, maka itu terpulanglah kepada anda.\u00a0\n\n\nDaripada segi keselamatan pula, membuka tingkap samalah memberi peluang kepada penjenayah dan orang yang berniat jahat mengambil kesempatan terhadap anda. Terutama sekali jika anda tidur di kawasan yang sunyi meskipun di kawasan RnR.\u00a0\n\n\nDisebabkan itulah, kami tidak menggalakkan anda untuk tidur dalam kereta walaupun enjin tidak dihidupkan.\u00a0\n\n\nDengan tips dan perkongsian daripada kami ini, diharapkan anda boleh sentiasa berhati-hati terutama jika anda ingin memandu untuk perjalanan jauh. Semoga anda sentiasa selamat sepanjang perjalanan anda!\u00a0\u00a0\n\n", "Ahmad Azwadie Azman", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Namun, dalam kesibukan menghadapi kehidupan seharian, agak mudah untuk kita terlepas pandang aspek \nkeselamatan kanak-kanak\n, terutama sekali apabila memilih untuk meninggalkan mereka sendirian dalam kereta.\n\n\nSetiap tahun, ada sahaja kes-kes menyedihkan di mana kanak-kanak kehilangan nyawa mereka kerana \nditinggalkan secara tidak sengaja di dalam kereta\n. Oleh itu, di sini kami ingin menekankan kesan negatif yang mungkin berlaku apabila kanak-kanak ditinggalkan dalam kereta dan juga tips untuk bantu anda mengelakkan perkara tersebut.\n\n\nApa Kesannya Jika Kanak-Kanak Ditinggalkan Bersendirian Dalam Kereta?\n\n\nSerangan Strok Haba & Dehidrasi\n\n\nMalaysia terkenal dengan iklim tropika, di mana \ncuaca panas\n dan cerah sepanjang tahun. Tahukah anda bahawa suhu dalaman kereta yang diparkir boleh meningkat sehingga 10 darjah Celsius dalam hanya beberapa minit sahaja? Cuaca panas Malaysia akan menjadikan ruangan kereta yang tertutup berfungsi seperti ketuhar dan akan memerangkap haba secara berterusan.\n\n\n\n\nApabila suhu meningkat terlalu tinggi, ianya sangat memudaratkan bagi kanak-kanak kerana badan mereka tidak mampu menyeimbangkan haba seperti badan orang dewasa dan akibatnya mereka berisiko diserang strok haba yang akan mengancam nyawa.\n\n\n\n\nvia GIPHY\n\n\nIni akan membawa kepada dehidrasi yang akan memberi kesan buruk pada kesihatan mereka. Kehilangan cecair dari badan boleh menyebabkan ketidakseimbangan elektrolit dan menjejaskan fungsi organ penting dalam badan seperti hati, buah pinggang, dan juga otak. Pada tahap yang paling teruk, ia boleh membawa kepada kematian!\n\n\nRisiko Berlaku Kecederaan & Kemalangan\n\n\nPernah terjadi satu kemalangan yang tular dalam Facebook di Singapura pada \nOgos 2022\n, di mana seorang \nbudak lelaki yang ditinggalkan dalam kereta\n BMW X3 dengan enjin dihidupkan telah memandu kereta tersebut lalu melanggar sebuah kereta Lexus yang diparkir di hadapannya! Ini merupakan salah satu insiden yang mungkin berlaku apabila kita meninggalkan kanak-kanak sendirian di dalam kereta tanpa pengawasan orang dewasa.\n\n\n\n\nKanak-kanak sebenarnya boleh belajar tentang konsep asas pemanduan seperti menghidupkan kereta, memecut, dan membrek secara tidak langsung hanya dengan memerhatikan tabiat pemanduan ibu bapa mereka.\n\n\nJadi, apabila mereka tidak diawasi semasa di dalam kereta, mereka pasti akan cuba meniru perbuatan yang selalu dilakukan oleh ibu bapa tanpa mengetahui akibatnya.\n\n\nTindakan Undang-Undang Akan Dikenakan Terhadap Ibu Bapa\n\n\nUndang-undang di Malaysia\n melarang ibu bapa meninggalkan kanak-kanak seorang diri di dalam kereta. Ia adalah satu kesalahan yang serius dan boleh membahayakan keselamatan dan kesejahteraan kanak-kanak.\n\n\nMengikut Akta Kebajikan Kanak-kanak 2001, orang dewasa bertanggungjawab perlu memastikan keselamatan kanak-kanak dijaga dengan baik. Meninggalkan kanak-kanak seorang diri di dalam kereta boleh menyebabkan bahaya seperti kepanasan, kekurangan oksigen, atau risiko diculik. Kesalahan ini boleh dihukum dengan denda, penjara, atau kedua-duanya sekali.\n\n\n\n\nvia GIPHY\n\n\nOleh itu, penting bagi semua ibu bapa dan penjaga kanak-kanak di Malaysia untuk mematuhi undang-undang ini dan sentiasa mengutamakan keselamatan dan kesejahteraan anak-anak kita yang tercinta.\n\n\nTip Untuk Menjamin Keselamatan Kanak-Kanak\n\n\nKami yakin tiada ibu bapa atau penjaga di luar sana yang mahu meninggalkan anak-anak mereka bersendirian di dalam kereta, melainkan dalam keadaan yang terdesak.\n\n\nDi sini kami senaraikan beberapa penyelesaian praktikal untuk membantu anda menjamin keselamatan anak-anak anda.\n\n\n1. Gunakan Perkhidmatan E-Hailing atau Pengasuh Dalam Talian\n\n\nSama ada nak beli kereta terpakai atau nak beli barangan runcit, semuanya boleh dilakukan melalui telefon pintar anda. Jadi, apa kata anda gunakan kemudahan teknologi ini untuk membantu anda menjalani aktiviti harian bersama anak-anak anda dengan selamat?\n\n\nDengan perkhidmatan e-hailing atau pemandu persendirian seperti \nGrab\n atau \nBuddy Driver\n, anda boleh dapatkan khidmat pemandu yang telah berdaftar dan boleh dipercayai untuk membawa anda dan anak anda ke mana-mana tempat yang ingin dituju.\n\n\nMalah, jika anda memerlukan perkhidmatan penjagaan kanak-kanak yang selamat, anda juga boleh gunakan aplikasi jagaan bayi dalam talian seperti \nKiddocare\n atau \nSitly\n untuk menempah pengasuh berdaftar yang berkelayakan untuk membantu menjaga anak-anak semasa anda menyelesaikan urusan harian anda.\n\n\n2. Bina Sistem Sokongan Antara Ibu & Bapa\n\n\nKomunikasi dan sokongan sesama ibu bapa adalah penting dalam memastikan keselamatan anak-anak. Tugas menjaga anak-anak tidak seharusnya diberikan kepada satu pihak sahaja.\n\n\n\n\nIbu bapa yang bertanggungjawab, saling membantu antara satu sama lain, dan sentiasa bersikap terbuka dalam hal menguruskan keluarga akan memastikan tugas menjaga anak-anak lebih lancar, selamat, dan seronok untuk dilakukan bersama. Jadi, jangan segan untuk bantu pasangan anda dan saling ingat-memperingati antara satu sama lain.\n\n\nMembina rangkaian sokongan bersama ibu bapa lain juga penting untuk mencipta sistem di mana para ibu bapa boleh membantu antara satu sama lain apabila diperlukan. Ini akan menjamin keyakinan anda dalam usaha untuk menjamin keselamatan kanak-kanak.\n\n\n3. Letak Kunci Kereta Di Tempat Selamat\n\n\nDalam usaha anda untuk menjamin keselamatan anak-anak, satu perkara penting yang boleh anda lakukan adalah dengan meletakkan kunci kereta di tempat yang selamat daripada kanak-kanak.\u00a0\n\n\nSimpan kunci kereta di tempat tinggi atau dalam laci yang berkunci agar ia sukar untuk dijumpai oleh anak-anak. Tapi, jangan sampai anda pula yang susah nak cari kunci kereta! \n\n\nPaling penting, jangan sekali-kali tinggalkan anak anda bersendirian di dalam kereta, sama ada kunci ada atau tidak.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nAwasi Anak-Anak Anda Setiap Masa!\n\n\nIngatlah, sebagai ibu bapa dan penjaga, kita wajib bertanggungjawab atas keselamatan anak-anak kita. Meninggalkan mereka sendirian dalam kereta adalah tindakan yang sangat berisiko dan boleh membawa kepada kehilangan nyawa dan kerosakan harta benda.\n\n\nSebelum buat apa-apa keputusan, utamakan keselamatan kanak-kanak terlebih dahulu. Ayuh kita sama-sama berusaha untuk lindungi anak-anak kita daripada bahaya yang boleh dielakkan ini.\n\n\nArtikel ini telah dihasilkan dengan bantuan Kecerdasan Buatan (AI) melalui panduan naratif yang jelas daripada penulis kami yang berbakat.

Jom Tebak Mitos Kereta Yang Selalu Anda Dengar!", "By\n \nAhmad Azwadie Azman", "07/06/2023", "\n\n\n\n\n", "Sebagai pemandu, mesti anda pernah dengar banyak mitos yang disebarkan oleh kawan-kawan anda ataupun anda baca dan dengar daripada media sosial. Contohnya, kalau nak kereta lagi laju kena pasang spoiler ataupun kalau tingkap kereta dibuka semasa dipandu, kereta akan gunakan lagi banyak petrol.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAda sebahagian mitos ini nampak macam betul dan ada juga yang nampak macam mengarut. Anda pun jadi kurang pasti. Kadang-kadang apa yang disebarkan di media sosial dan yang keluar daripada mulut kawan anda itu, bukannya semua boleh pakai!\u00a0\n\n\nDisebabkan itu, kami di CARSOME akan membantu anda untuk kenal pasti sama ada petua dan tips ini cuma mitos palsu atau benar-benar berkesan.\u00a0\n\n\nMitos 1 \u2013 Kereta Yang Dibiarkan Melahu (\nIdling\n) Boleh Rosakkan Enjin!\u00a0\n\n\nIni yang paling biasa kita dengar. Sebenarnya ada perbalahan sama ada patut atau tidak kereta dibiarkan melahu (\nidling\n) setelah enjin dihidupkan? Ada juga yang berpendapat, tak mengapa untuk membiarkan kereta melahu.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda nak tahu, sebenarnya amalan membiarkan kereta melahu setelah dihidupkan adalah tidak bagus untuk kereta anda. Ia boleh menjejaskan banyak aspek kereta seperti prestasi enjin, kecekapan minyak, serta keadaan enjin itu sendiri.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nEnjin yang dibiarkan melahu lama, kecekapan penggunaan minyaknya akan terjejas. Minyak yang dibakar tidak dimanfaatkan untuk menggerakkan enjin. Untuk jangka masa panjang? Mungkin anda terpaksa keluarkan belanja lebih untuk isi petrol kerana ia lebih cepat habis berbanding pada mula-mula anda memandu kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nDaripada segi prestasi enjin, perbuatan membiarkan kereta melahu ini boleh menyebabkan komponen enjin rosak. Ia boleh menyebabkan kerosakan pada gasket kepala, palam pencucuh, dan silinder enjin. Seperti mana yang anda tahu, kalau terjadi kerosakan pada enjin, kos nak membaikinya bukan murah. Mungkin boleh mencecah empat angka kos membaiki enjin ini!\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, kalau anda sayangkan kereta anda, dan juga dompet anda, jangan biarkan kereta melahu terlalu lama selepas dihidupkan. Kalau anda memandu kereta moden, enjin kereta tak perlu dipanaskan. Terus bergerak perlahan-lahan sejurus kereta dihidupkan untuk memelihara enjin kereta anda supaya ia tahan lama.\n\n\nMitos 2 \u2013 Tutup \nAircond \nKereta, Boleh Jimat Minyak?\u00a0\n\n\nIni satu lagi tips yang selalu kita dengari daripada mulut orang terutama otai-otai yang sudah lama memandu. Ia adalah memandu dengan tidak menghidupkan pendingin hawa. Kata mereka, ini akan \nmenjimatkan penggunaan minyak\n kalau anda tutup \naircond\n kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, betul atau tidak tips ini? Ia tidak tepat sebenarnya. Mari kami terangkan mengapa dan kenapa.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nYa betul bahawa untuk membolehkan pendingin hawa berfungsi, ia memerlukan tenaga yang dijana oleh enjin kereta. Penggunaan pendingin hawa boleh menyebabkan enjin terpaksa membakar lebih petrol. TETAPI, ia pada kadar yang sangat sedikit. Ya, sangat sedikit perbezaannya!\u00a0\n\n\nKalau kita nak tengok bagaimana penggunaan pendingin hawa boleh menjejaskan penggunaan minyak, kita kena nilai pelbagai faktor lain. Antaranya model kereta, jenis kereta, jenis pemampat udara yang digunakan, suhu kereta apabila ia dihidupkan, cara penggunaan pendingin hawa, dan lain-lain.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau nak jawab sama ada menutup pendingin hawa boleh menjimatkan minyak atau tidak, jawapannya ya tetapi penjimatan yang berlaku itu sangat sedikit dan sangat susah nak dibuktikan jika dikira sekalipun.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nMacam Mana Nak Kekal Sejuk Sepanjang Musim Panas Ini\n\n\nJadi, anda boleh pasang pendingin hawa semasa memandu tanpa risaukan ia akan menggunakan lebih banyak petrol. Kalau anda tak nak menghidupkan pendingin hawa pun tak mengapa, pilihan di tangan anda.\u00a0\n\n\nMitos 3 \u2013 Nak Kereta Lagi Laju Kena Pasang \nSpoiler\n?\n\n\nRasanya anda mesti pernah lihat di atas jalan raya kereta yang dipasang spoiler. Ada kereta, spoiler yang dipasang betul-betul tinggi. Mungkin ingin pergi terbang ke bulan barang kali. Tetapi, betul ke kalau pasang spoiler kereta boleh bergerak lebih laju?\u00a0\n\n\nSebelum itu, mari kita kenali apa itu spoiler. Spoiler merupakan aksesori kereta yang dipasang pada but atau belakang kereta. Jadi, apa fungsinya? Kalau anda tahu apa fungsi spoiler kereta, anda mesti akan terkejut!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: Motoqar\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nBahasa Pomen yang Anda Kena Tahu Kalau Tak Nak Kena Tipu\n\n\nFungsinya langsung tiada kaitan dengan meningkatkan kelajuan kereta. Ia digunakan untuk meningkatkan kestabilan kereta terutamanya semasa membelok. Bagaimana ia berfungsi? Perbezaan tekanan udara yang lebih tinggi di atas spoiler berbanding bawah spoiler dengan tekanan udara yang lebih rendah akan menekan kereta ke bawah untuk pemanduan yang lebih stabil. Spoiler ini menggunakan prinsip Bernoulli untuk berfungsi.\n\n\nIni semua berlaku pada kelajuan tinggi. Jadi, jika anda hanya memandu pada kelajuan tak sampai pun 200km/j ke atas ataupun kereta anda tak digunakan untuk berlumba, tak usahlah pasang spoiler pada kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\nIa tidak berfungsi pada kelajuan kereta yang biasa. Ia cuma satu pembaziran yang tak perlu. Untuk estetik, mungkin kereta akan kelihatan lebih \n\u2018hensem\u2019\n. Itu saja.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nMitos 4 \u2013 Bau Kereta Baharu Sebenarnya Boleh Membunuh?\u00a0\n\n\n\u201cUish! Bau kedailah kereta baru ni!\u201d\n\n\nKalau anda baru saja beli kereta, inilah antara ayat yang biasa kawan-kawan anda akan ucapkan. Memuji dalam memerli mungkin. Memang kereta baharu akan mengeluarkan bau unik yang digemari sesetengah orang.\u00a0\n\n\nTetapi, anda nak tahu tak sebenarnya bau yang datang daripada kereta baharu ini sebenarnya berbahaya dan mungkin boleh membunuh anda! Bauan yang anda hidu daripada kereta baharu itu sebenarnya campuran beberapa bahan kimia iaitu sebatian organik meruap (VOC).\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nVOC ini digunakan untuk menghasilkan gam, cat serta pelarut cat, dan macam-macam lagi bahan yang digunakan untuk membina kereta. VOC ini boleh mengakibatkan kesan buruk kepada sebahagian individu seperti pening kepala, loya, dan juga sakit kepala. Kesan-kesan ini juga berbeza mengikut individu.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nAksesori Kereta Paling Tak Berguna Yang Anda Tak Patut Beli!\n\n\nAntara bahan yang terkandung di dalam VOC ini antaranya formaldehid. Seperti yang semua orang tahu, formaldehid ini merupakan karsinogenik atau boleh menyebabkan kanser jika badan manusia terdedah kepadanya.\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, apa yang boleh kita buat untuk tak nak terkena kesan buruk bau kereta baharu ini? Jawabnya, tiada apa yang boleh dibuat melainkan menunggu VOC ini hilang dengan sendirinya.\u00a0\n\n\nJika anda terdedah dengan VOC untuk seketika saja, anda mungkin tidak akan terkesan dengannya. Namun, jika anda menghidunya berterusan untuk tempoh masa yang lama, ia mungkin akan menyebabkan beberapa masalah kesihatan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAntara mereka yang akan terkesan dengan kesan buruk VOC daripada bau kereta baharu ini ialah kanak-kanak dan juga perempuan mengandung. Apa yang anda boleh buat adalah memastikan kanak-kanak dan wanita mengandung tidak berada terlalu lama dalam kereta baharu.\n\n\nTetapi jika anda sihat tanpa sebarang penyakit atau tidak mengandung, bau kereta baharu ini sepatutnya kurang berbahaya. Namun, jika simptom berlarutan, sila jumpa doktor dengan segera.\u00a0\n\n\nSedikit tips untuk anda, jika anda terpaksa berada lama di dalam kereta baharu disebabkan memandu jauh, apa yang anda boleh buat adalah dengan menurunkan tingkap supaya bau itu boleh keluar semasa memandu.\u00a0\n\n\nIni merupakan sebahagian mitos tips kereta yang mungkin anda selalu dengar. Anda cuma tak pasti sama ada ia betul atau tidak. Sekarang, kami dah jelaskan kepada anda dan harapnya anda boleh ambil tahu tentang kesahihan mitos ini.\u00a0\n\n\nBeli Kereta Dengan Senang?

Ini Risiko yang Mungkin Anda Hadapi", "By\n \nAhmad Azwadie Azman", "09/03/2021", "\n\n\n\n\n", "Kereta sambung bayar merujuk proses penjualan kereta dengan hutang pinjaman yang masih belum dijelaskan kepada pihak ketiga oleh pemilik asal kereta tanpa melibatkan pertukaran hak milik. Pemilik baharu hanya perlu meneruskan bayaran ansuran bulanan yang dipersetujui kepada pihak bank bagi pihak pemilik asal. Selain penjual kereta, skim kereta sambung bayar ini juga menguntungkan pihak pembeli. Ini kerana, pihak pembeli kereta sambung bayar hanya perlu membayar kos keseluruhan dan amaun deposit yang lebih rendah berbanding pembelian kereta baharu atau terpakai.\n\n\nSecara amnya, pembiayaan pinjaman kenderaan oleh institusi kewangan memudahkan pembeli kereta untuk memiliki kenderaan. Kenderaan yang masih dalam pembiayaan tidak boleh dipindah milik atau diberikan kepada pihak ketiga tanpa persetujuan pihak institusi kewangan. Pertukaran hak milik hanya boleh dilakukan setelah menjelaskan baki keseluruhan pinjaman. Skim kereta sambung bayar biasanya dilakukan untuk mengelakkan proses jual beli kereta yang rumit atau pemilik asal memerlukan wang tunai segera.\n\n\n\n\n5 Sebab Perlu Elakkan Jual Beli Kereta Sambung Bayar\n\n\nPembelian kereta baharu atau terpakai memakan kos yang tinggi apatah lagi jika mengambil kira faktor-faktor lain seperti kos penyelenggaraan, \ninsurans kereta, cukai jalan\n \nserta kos minyak petrol yang semakin meningkat. Meskipun terdapat pilihan pengangkutan awam untuk digunakan, ia bukanlah suatu alternatif yang praktikal jika mempertimbangkan aspek lokasi, masa dan sebagainya. Selain kereta baharu dan terpakai, ramai dalam kalangan pembeli kereta yang memilih untuk membeli kereta sambung bayar.\n\n\nSkim kereta sambung bayar tidak membebankan poket, lebih mudah dan tidak memeningkan kepala lebih-lebih jika pembeli mempunyai rekod pinjaman yang tidak melayakkannya untuk mendapatkan pinjaman bank.\n\n\nRisiko kepada Penjual\n\n\nUrusan jual atau beli kereta sambung bayar terdedah kepada pelbagai risiko. Berikut merupakan risiko-risiko yang mungkin anda hadapi jika anda menjual kereta sambung bayar kepada pihak ketiga:\n\n\n1. Pemilik Baharu Tidak Menjelaskan Bayaran Ansuran Bulanan\n\n\nKebiasaannya, pembeli yang memilih untuk membeli kereta sambung bayar memiliki rekod kewangan yang teruk dan telah disenaraihitamkan oleh institusi kewangan. Oleh itu, mereka berpotensi untuk tidak membayar ansuran bulanan kepada pihak bank seperti yang dijanjikan. Jika bayaran bulanan tidak diterima oleh pihak bank (pemilik baharu tidak menjelaskan bayaran ansuran bulanan seperti dijanjikan), pihak institusi kewangan akan meminta pemilik asal untuk menjelaskan amaun bayaran yang tertunggak.\n\n\nSeperti pembiayaan pinjaman berdaftar yang lain, kegagalan menjelaskan bayaran bulanan seperti dijanjikan boleh menjejaskan skor kredit CCRIS dan CTOS peminjam. Kedua-dua laporan kredit CCRIS dan CTOS akan menunjukkan kemampuan peminjam untuk membuat bayaran semula komitmen kewangan sedia ada. Jika laporan kredit menunjukkan peminjam gagal membuat bayaran balik tepat pada masa, ia berpotensi menjejaskan peluang dan boleh menyukarkan proses permohonan pinjaman daripada institusi kewangan pada masa akan datang.\n\n\nSelain itu, kegagalan membayar balik ansuran bulanan juga boleh menyebabkan pihak bank memulakan prosedur tarik kereta anda. Jika ini berlaku, pemilik asal perlu menanggung kos-kos yang terlibat. Malah, kereta yang ditarik hanya boleh diambil semula selepas semua bayaran yang tertunggak dijelaskan. Kegagalan pemilik asal menjelaskan tunggakan boleh menyebabkan kenderaan dilelong dan pemilik asal perlu menanggung dan menjelaskan baki hutang yang kurang kepada pihak bank. Sekiranya kereta gagal dikesan, pihak bank juga akan mengemukakan Notis Saman Tuntutan kepada pemilik asal dan jika masih gagal, pihak bank berhak untuk menfailkan Notis Kebankrapan ke atas pemilik asal.\n\n\nDalam sesetengah kes, ada pembeli kereta sambung bayar yang menjual semula kereta yang dibeli kepada pihak ketiga untuk mengaut keuntungan atas angin. Cara ini secara tidak langsung boleh memberi masalah kepada pemilik asal sekiranya pihak ketiga tidak melakukan pembayaran seperti dijanjikan. Jika pembayaran tidak dibuat kepada pihak bank, ia mungkin menyukarkan pihak pemilik asal untuk membuat untutan daripada pembeli.\n\n\n\n\n2. Saman Atas Kenderaan oleh Pemilik Baharu\n\n\nKereta yang dipersetujui untuk sambung bayar masih dianggap sebagai hak milik pemilik asal. Meskipun terdapat penjanjian sambung bayar telah dibuat antara pemilik asal dan pembeli baharu, perjanjian yang dilakukan adalah tidak sah kerana kenderaan masih dimiliki oleh pemilik asal secara sah. Oleh itu, pemilik asal bertanggungjawab sepenuhnya terhadap kereta yang dijual selagi nama pemilik asal tidak ditukar. Jika terdapat saman yang dikeluarkan kepada pembeli semasa menggunakan kereta tersebut, segala saman dan tindakan undang-undang akan dikenakan terhadap pemilik asal sahaja.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeksyen 38 Akta Sewa Beli 1967\n \u2013 Sesiapa yang menjual barang-barang yang dibeli secara perjanjian sewa beli tanpa kebenaran daripada pemunya adalah melakukan kesalahan di bawah Akta ini dan jika didapati bersalah boleh dihukum dengan denda tidak melebihi RM10000 atau dipenjarakan tidak melebihi 3 tahun atau kedua-duanya sekali.\n\n\nSeksyen 46 Akta Sewa Beli 1967\n \u2013 Sesiapa yang melanggar peruntukan-peruntukan di bawah Akta ini dan jika didapati bersalah boleh dihukum dengan denda tidak melebihi RM3000 atau dipenjarakan tidak melebihi 6 bulan atau kedua-duanya sekali.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAkta yang diperuntukkan bertujuan untuk melindungi dan mengatasi masalah serta risiko yang bakal dihadapi oleh penjual atau pembeli kereta sambung bayar. Ia juga bertujuan untuk mengelakkan penganiayaan terhadap pembeli oleh pihak penjual kereta.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nCara \u2018Check\u2019 Saman Trafik, JPJ dan AES Secara Online\n\n\n3. Kenderaan Terlibat Kes Jenayah, Kemalangan\n\n\nSkim kereta sambung bayar bukanlah satu pilihan yang bijak dan boleh memakan diri. Sekiranya pihak ketiga menyalahgunakan kenderaan untuk kegiatan jenayah, pemilik asal perlu bertanggungjawab dan menanggung segala risiko yang mungkin timbul. Pemilik asal berpotensi untuk disiasat oleh pihak berkuasa atau dipanggil untuk memberi keterangan. Malah, dalam kes-kes tertentu, pemilik asal mungkin dituduh bersubahat dan boleh didakwa di mahkamah.\n\n\nSelain itu, skim kereta sambung bayar tidak membolehkan pemilikan kereta dipindahkan kepada nama pembeli baharu. Oleh itu, jika berlaku kemalangan \ntotal lost\n, pembeli baharu tidak dilindungi oleh polisi insuran kenderaan tersebut. Kos ganti rugi akan diberikan secara terus kepada pemilik asal kenderaan yang sah. Ia sedikit sebanyak akan merugikan pihak pembeli lebih-lebih lagi setelah mengeluarkan belanja setiap bulan untuk membayar ansuran kereta. Walaupun nama pembeli baharu boleh ditambah sebagai pemandu kedua dalam polisi insurans, masalah lain boleh timbul jika pemilik asal meninggal dunia.\n\n\n\n\nRisiko kepada Pembeli\n\n\nSelain itu, berikut merupakan risiko-risiko yang mungkin anda hadapi jika anda membeli kereta sambung bayar:\n\n\n4. Pemilik Asal Meninggal\n\n\nSekiranya pemilik asal meninggal dunia, kereta tersebut biasanya akan dipindah milik kepada waris secara automatik. Pihak waris berhak untuk tidak meneruskan urusan dan menuntut kembali kereta yang dijual oleh pemilik asal. Meskipun anda mempunyai surat perjanjian atau laporan polis, urusan jual beli kereta sambung bayar ini adalah salah di sisi undang-undang. Pihak waris boleh menuntut kembali kereta yang telah dijual tanpa mengira kos yang telah dikeluarkan untuk membayar ansuran bulanan setiap bulan.\n\n\nPembeli tidak disarankan untuk membeli kereta selagi nama pemilik asal tidak ditukarkan kepada nama pembeli. Proses pertukaran nama memerlukan pemilik asal untuk hadir sendiri ke Kaunter Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ). Namun begitu, pemilik asal perlu melakukan \npemeriksaan kereta di PUSPAKOM\n sebelum proses pertukaran hak milik boleh dilakukan di mana-mana cawangan JPJ.\n\n\n5. Pemilik Asal Menuntut Semula Kenderaan\n\n\nDari aspek undang-undang, pemilik asal memiliki kuasa mutlak terhadap kereta yang dijual selagi nama pemilik tidak ditukar. Walaupun ada perjanjian antara pemilik asal dan pemilik baharu, pemilik asal boleh meminta balik kenderaan pada bila-bila masa. Malah, pemilik baharu juga tidak mempunyai hak untuk menuntut kenderaan berkenaan sekiranya pemilik asal ingin menuntut kembali kereta yang dijual. Meskipun pembeli sudah melangsaikan hutang ansuran seperti dijanjikan, ia juga tidak bermakna pemilik asal akan menukar nama pemilikan kereta kepada nama pembeli.\n\n\nAda sesetengah kes pemilik asal menuntut kembali kereta, melarikan diri dan melaporkan kecurian kereta setelah habis dibayar oleh pembeli. Ia sekali gus memaksa pembeli untuk menyerahkan kembali kereta yang telah dibayar untuk mengelakkan tindakan undang-undang. Secara amnya, pemilik asal kenderaan juga bukanlah pemilik sah kenderaan. Kenderaan yang dibeli menggunakan kemudahan pembiayaan kewangan tidak menjadi milik pembeli selagi belum dilunaskan secara total.\n\n\nDalam konteks pembiayaan kewangan, pembeli hanyalah penyewa atau pemilik sementara, manakala pihak bank merupakan pemilik sebenar kenderaan. Oleh itu, pemilik sementara tidak berhak untuk menjual kereta kepada pihak ketiga tanpa kebenaran dan pengetahuan pihak bank.\n\n\n\n\nOleh itu, elakkan membeli atau menjual kereta sambung bayar meskipun anda mempunyai hubungan yang rapat dengan pembeli atau penjual. Untuk mengelakkan risiko yang mungkin anda perlu tanggung, anda boleh pertimbangkan untuk\n membeli kereta terpakai\n \natau \nmenjual kereta lama\n \nanda di Carsome. Dengan lebih 175 titik pemeriksaan, kereta yang dijual di Carsome adalah berkualiti, dipercayai dan mampu milik.

Ini disebabkan oleh proses yang panjang dan memerlukan banyak usaha \u2013 seperti melawat ke pusat jualan, menyelesaikan kertas kerja yang banyak serta menghantar kereta untuk pemeriksaan.\u00a0\n\n\nKebanyakan pembeli atau pemilik kereta terpakai kini lebih cenderung untuk menggunakan platform dalam talian untuk urusan jual beli kereta kerana kemudahan yang ditawarkan, proses yang singkat dan akses mudah untuk pilihan yang pelbagai.\n\n\nBerikut merupakan lima sebab mengapa rakyat Malaysia menjauhkan diri daripada kaedah jual beli kereta secara tradisional.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTable of Contents\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSukar untuk Mencari Kereta Terpakai Berkualiti\n\n\nSusah Nak Cari Tempat\n\n\nProses Yang Terlalu Banyak\n\n\nKesukaran dalam Membuat Rundingan\n\n\nPerkhidmatan Selepas Jualan (After Sales Service)\n\n\nCarsome Je Lah! Untuk Ketenangan Fikiran yang Lengkap\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. Sukar untuk Mencari Kereta Terpakai Berkualiti\n\n\nMembeli kereta melibatkan belanja yang besar. Ini adalah salah satu sebab kenapa ramai yang lebih memilih untuk memiliki kenderaan terpakai.\n\n\nNamun, mencari kereta terpakai yang berkualiti selalunya akan memakan masa atas pelbagai faktor, salah satunya mungkin kerana proses pemilihan yang kurang telus. Penjual kereta akan menawarkan kereta berkualiti tinggi yang telah menjalani pemeriksaan tetapi anda tidak akan mendapat kepastian tentang kualitinya melainkan laporan pemeriksaan disertakan sekali dalam tawaran.\n\n\nInilah sebabnya mengapa platform dalam talian seperti Carsome hanya menawarkan kereta terpakai yang telah lulus pemeriksaan menyeluruh 175-titik mengikut standard yang tinggi dan dilakukan oleh tenaga kerja yang terlatih.\u00a0\n\n\nDi samping itu, kereta yang dijual oleh Carsome dilengkapi dengan laporan terperinci pemeriksaan 175-titik penuh dan ada sesetengah yang disertakan dengan pandangan 360 darjah untuk memberikan anda laporan pemeriksaan yang telus apabila anda membeli kereta dalam talian dengan kami.\n\n\n\n\n2. Susah Nak Cari Tempat\n\n\nBayangkan, anda sudah jumpa pusat jualan kereta yang menjual kereta idaman anda atau mahu membeli kereta yang anda mahu jual mengikut harga yang telah anda tetapkan, tetapi ia terletak di daerah lain, atau mungkin di negeri lain! Tiada siapa yang mahu menghabiskan masa mereka untuk mencari dan berurusan di pusat jualan kereta.\n\n\nSelain itu, mencari pusat penjualan kereta terpakai yang menawarkan kereta terpakai berkualiti yang memenuhi kehendak anda juga akan menghabiskan masa yang banyak kerana anda mungkin perlu mengunjungi beberapa pusat jualan sambil membuat perbandingan harga.\n\n\nBegitu juga kalau anda mahu menjual kereta anda. Anda perlu menggunakan sumber yang banyak untuk mencari pembeli atau pusat jualan yang mahu membeli pada harga yang berpatutan.\n\n\n\n\n3. Proses Yang Terlalu Banyak\n\n\nApabila bercakap tentang membeli atau menjual kereta terpakai secara tradisional, tidak dapat dinafikan bahawa proses yang perlu anda lalui sangat banyak!\n\n\nJika anda merancang untuk menjual kereta secara tradisional, anda perlu mencari pembeli atau pusat jualan yang menawarkan harga yang sesuai dengan harga anda. Anda juga perlu mencari pusat pemeriksaan yang berwibawa untuk menilai harga kereta anda, tetapi ini juga berisiko kerana anda mungkin tidak pasti sama ada pusat pemeriksaan tersebut diperakui atau tidak.\n\n\nProses membeli kereta terpakai juga banyak. Anda perlu pergi ke pusat jualan, periksa kereta dengan teliti untuk memastikan kualitinya, dan berurusan dengan penjual bagi mendapatkan harga yang sesuai.\n\n\nSekiranya anda tidak yakin dengan kemampuan anda untuk menilai kereta yang mahu dibeli, anda perlu mendapatkan bantuan daripada ahli keluarga atau rakan yang anda percaya dan lebih berpengetahuan.\n\n\n\n\nSeterusnya anda perlu meneliti hal-hal berkaitan kertas kerja pula. Jika anda membeli kereta terpakai, ada banyak kertas kerja yang perlu anda sediakan semasa berurusan dengan pihak bank dan pusat jualan untuk melancarkan proses pembelian.\n\n\nKalau anda mahu menjual kereta, ada banyak kertas kerja yang perlu dilakukan di pelbagai tempat seperti menyiapkan salinan geran, menyelesaikan borang pertukaran nama di Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ), mengisi borang pemeriksaan kenderaan di PUSPAKOM, dan sebagainya. Semua ini akan memerlukan masa yang banyak dan juga wang.\n\n\nWalaupun pusat jualan kereta akan menawarkan untuk meringankan beban ini, biasanya anda akan dikenakan bayaran yang agak mahal, kerana mereka perlu mengambil kira kos bayaran permohonan dan juga kos khidmat \nrunner\n. Tambahan pula, harga ini biasanya tidak termasuk dalam harga paparan kereta.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Kesukaran dalam Membuat Rundingan\n\n\nSetelah lama mencari, akhirnya anda jumpa juga kereta terpakai yang mahu dibeli atau pusat jualan yang sesuai. Kini anda harus menghadapi tugas yang paling berat, iaitu membuat rundingan.\n\n\nWalaupun bagi seseorang yang mempunyai pengetahuan dan pengalaman luas dalam bidang membeli atau menjual kereta, berunding merupakan bahagian paling sukar dalam usaha untuk menyelesaikan proses jual beli.\n\n\nTerdapat banyak faktor yang boleh mempengaruhi rundingan anda seperti sikap anda, serta kelemahan atau kecacatan yang terlihat pada kereta tersebut. Ditambah dengan perkara lain yang perlu difikirkan semasa proses pembelian, anda akan memerlukan semua bantuan yang boleh anda dapat.\n\n\nOleh itu, adalah lebih baik jika anda dapat membawa orang lain untuk membantu anda berunding, terutamanya ahli keluarga atau rakan yang boleh dipercayai dan lebih berpengetahuan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Perkhidmatan Selepas Jualan (After Sales Service)\n\n\nPelanggan zaman kini mengharapkan perkhidmatan selepas jualan (After Sales Service) yang setimpal dengan harga yang mereka bayar, terutama sekali dalam pembelian kereta.\n\n\nApabila membeli kereta dengan pusat jualan kereta, mereka akan menawarkan pakej perkhidmatan selepas jualan yang menarik, tetapi agak sukar jika anda mahu mendapatkan perkhidmatan selepas jualan yang dapat memenuhi keperluan anda.\n\n\nIni adalah kerana pakej tersebut mungkin dijual dengan harga yang agak mahal atau pakej tersebut hanya boleh digunakan di bengkel atau pusat servis tertentu sahaja.\n\n\nBegitu juga dengan j\nahawa usaha membeli dan menjual kereta secara tradisional dipenuhi dengan pelbagai kesusahan. Bahkan, anda juga mungkin pernah melalui perkara-perkara di atas dalam usaha anda membeli atau menjual kereta dengan cara tradisional.\u00a0\n\n\nInilah sebabnya mengapa Carsome diwujudkan \u2013 sebagai jalan penyelesaian untuk menghilangkan kerumitan ini dan untuk menyediakan perkhidmatan jual beli kereta terpakai yang selamat, mudah dan dipercayai.\n\n\n\n\nCarsome Je Lah!

Lebih-lebih lagi kalau kereta yang mereka miliki masih lagi ada baki ansuran pinjaman yang perlu dibayar setiap bulan. \nAnda sebenarnya boleh \njual kereta yang masih belum habis bayar\n, tapi prosesnya agak susah, terutama sekali kalau anda tak ada pengalaman menjual kereta sendiri.\n\n\nDi sini kami jelaskan langkah-langkah yang perlu dilakukan jika anda mahu \nmenjual kereta\n yang masih ada lagi baki pinjaman.\n\n\n\n\nCari Pembeli Tunai\n\n\nSituasi paling senang bila nak jual kereta anda adalah dengan mendapatkan pembeli yang boleh membayar untuk kereta anda secara tunai. Ini bukan sahaja dapat membuatkan proses jadi lebih mudah, malah lebih murah.\n\n\n\n\nCuma tetapkan harga kereta anda dan pembeli akan bayar jumlah yang dah dipersetujui kepada anda. Anda hanya perlu lakukan \nPemeriksaan Tukar Milik B5 PUSPAKOM\n yang memerlukan bayaran \nRM30\n dan kemudian anda perlu buat penukaran hak milik di mana-mana Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) dengan bayaran \nRM100\n sahaja.\n\n\nDah selesai! Dengan bajet serendah \nRM130\n, anda boleh dapatkan sejumlah wang untuk selesaikan baki pinjaman anda \u2013 mungkin dengan baki yang mencukupi untuk beli kereta yang baharu!\n\n\nTETAPI, pihak bank biasanya hanya membenarkan anda menjual kereta atau menukarnya selepas \nLIMA \ntahun \u2013 untuk tempoh pinjaman kereta selama \nsembilan \ntahun, dan selepas \nEMPAT\n hingga \nLIMA\n tahun \u2013 untuk tempoh pinjaman kereta selama \ntujuh \ntahun.\n\n\nSemak dulu perjanjian pinjaman anda kerana sesetengah bank akan mengenakan denda atau penalti untuk penyelesaian pinjaman awal kerana kebanyakan pinjaman datang dengan tempoh terkunci. Oleh itu, anda perlu mengetahui tempoh masa yang sesuai dan jumlah peratusan denda yang akan dikenakan sekiranya anda ingin menyelesaikan hutang pinjaman kereta secara sekaligus.\n\n\nMacam Mana Dengan Pembeli yang Menggunakan Pinjaman?\n\n\nApabila berurusan dengan pembeli yang menggunakan pinjaman daripada bank untuk beli kereta anda pula, prosesnya akan jadi sedikit sulit. Anda perlu lakukan \nP\nemeriksaan Sewa Beli B7 PUSPAKOM\n yang memerlukan bayaran \nRM60 \ndan akan mengambil masa yang lebih lama untuk diproses.\n\n\nPembeli pula perlu memohon pinjaman daripada pihak bank dan ia perlu diluluskan sebelum anda boleh selesaikan urus niaga tersebut. Proses ini juga akan mengambil masa yang lama memandangkan bank pembeli perlu menjelaskan pinjaman bank anda juga.\n\n\nPerlu diingati bahawa proses ini hanya boleh dilakukan jika nilai jualan kereta anda lebih tinggi daripada baki pinjaman anda. Untuk dapatkan anggaran nilai jualan kereta anda, boleh pergi ke mana-mana penjual kereta terpakai dan semak anggaran harga jualan mereka.\n\n\nMacam mana pula kalau nilai jualan kereta anda tak cukup untuk tampung baki pinjaman yang tertunggak? Sebagai contoh, kereta anda dijual pada harga RM50,000, tetapi pinjaman anda masih berbaki RM60,000 lagi. Jika perkara ini berlaku, anda perlu menambah RM10,000 untuk menjual kereta anda.\n\n\nKenapa Kena Tambah Duit Masa Jual Kereta?\n\n\nSebelum proses menjual kereta anda boleh diselesaikan, pihak bank perlu memastikan yang pinjaman anda telah dijelaskan sepenuhnya. Inilah sebabnya anda perlu tambah duit kalau harga jualan kereta anda tidak mencukupi untuk selesaikan baki pinjaman kereta.\n\n\n\n\nApabila bayaran tambahan RM10,000 telah diselesaikan, barulah pihak bank boleh menguruskan kertas kerja yang diperlukan untuk menjual kereta anda. Melainkan anda ada wang yang cukup untuk jelaskan baki pinjaman anda beserta dengan kadar faedah atau denda yang dikenakan \u2013 jika ada, pengedar kereta terpakai adalah pilihan terbaik untuk menjual kereta anda.\n\n\nJika anda memilih untuk jual dengan pengedar kereta terpakai, anda ada pilihan untuk selesaikan pinjaman anda sepenuhnya. Tetapi, kebanyakan pengedar kereta terpakai biasanya akan mengenakan bayaran pemprosesan yang boleh mencecah sehingga RM5,000 untuk menampung kos-kos berikut:\n\n\n\n\nBayaran invois\n\n\nBayaran pemprosesan\n\n\nBayaran perjanjian\n\n\nBayaran JPJ\n\n\nBayaran PUSPAKOM\n\n\nBayaran caj perkhidmatan\n\n\nKos servis kereta\n\n\n\n\nJual Kereta Anda Kepada CARSOME Dengan Cepat, Mudah, & Selamat\n\n\nApabila menjual kereta, anda pasti mahu pilih cara yang paling menjimatkan masa, tenaga, dan juga wang.

Your car battery needs to be replaced at least every two years and its voltage needs to be checked from time to time to ensure optimal performance.\n\n\nIf you have ever been in a situation where it\u2019s difficult to start your engine, especially in the morning, this indicates that your battery\u2019s voltage might be too weak and it might need to be replaced. Worst case scenario, you may need to jump-start your car\u2019s battery to be able to start your engine.\n\n\n\n\nWhen jump-starting the battery, you are advised to practice the proper safety measures. Most car models sold in the market today use various electronic components in the car\u2019s internal system. Any mistake can cause short circuits to important car components such as the transmission control unit (TCU) which would be dangerous for your car.\n\n\nThings to Pay Attention to before You Jump-Start Your Car Battery\n\n\nHere are some things that you definitely need to pay attention to before you jump-start your car\u2019s battery, especially if you are doing this for the first time:\n\n\n\n\nRefer to the car\u2019s user manual. Jump-starting is actually not recommended for some car models since they have a sensitive circuit;\n\n\nDo not jump-start a car battery that is rusty, cracked, damaged, and leaking;\n\n\nDo not jump-start a dry battery;\n\n\nIf you plan to jump-start your car battery by hooking it to another battery, make sure the voltage of the \u2018donor\u2019 car is the same or bigger than yours;\n\n\nConnect the alligator clip on the right place according to the right sequence;\n\n\nMake sure the \u2018donor\u2019 car battery is in good condition;\n\n\nDo not touch the car\u2019s body or the alligator clip during the jump-start process.\n\n\n\n\nRead more: \nCar Batteries: How to Extend the Lifespan & What are The Prices of Car Batteries in Malaysia\n\n\nWhat You Need to Know before You Jump-Start a Car Battery\n\n\nIn addition to that, you also need to know some basic things about your car battery before you attempt to jump-start it. Generally, car batteries are equipped with two terminals, namely the positive terminal and the negative terminal:\n\n\n\n\nPositive terminal\n \u2013 the positive terminal is usually larger than the negative terminal. Marked with \u2018POS\u2019 or \u2018+\u2019, this terminal should be connected to the positive clip of the jumper cable which is red in color;\n\n\nNegative terminal\n \u2013 the negative terminal of the battery is usually marked with \u2018NEG\u2019 or \u2018-\u2018, and this terminal will be connected to the negative clip of the jumper cable which is black in color.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEquipment Required to Jump-Start Your Car\n\n\nBefore you start the process of jump-starting your car, you will need the following tools:\n\n\n\n\nJumper cables: \nJumper cables are thick electric cables with serrated clips on both ends that\u2019s called crocodile clips a.k.a alligator clips because of its shape that looks like an alligator\u2019s or crocodile\u2019s jaw. The cables are usually distinguished by color \u2013 red indicating positive (+) and black indicating negative (-) polarity.\n\n\nPower source:\n You can use either a portable battery or another car\u2019s battery as a power source to jump-start your own car battery. Portable batteries allow you to jump-start your car battery as long as it has enough charges and they are usually equipped with a special jumper cable.\n\n\n\n\nRead more:\n \nKeep Yourself Safe With These Items From Car Accessory Stores\n\n\nThe Proper Way to Jump-Start Your Car\n\n\nIf your car\u2019s engine fails to start, you might have an issue with your car battery. If you\u2019re not sure how to properly jump-start your car when this happens, don\u2019t worry \u2013 here\u2019s how you can do it safely:\n\n\n\n\n1) Turn Off the Engine\n\n\nIn a situation that requires you to jump-start your car battery with the help of a \u2018donor\u2019 car, you need to make sure that the electrical equipment and systems of both cars such as headlights, radios and so on are turned off.\n\n\n2) Park Properly\n\n\nAfter that, the \u2018donor\u2019 car needs to be parked as close as possible to your car \u2013 best to position the cars so that they face each other, so that the jumper cables can easily reach the negative and positive terminals of both cars. However, you have to make sure that the two cars do not touch each other. Otherwise it may lead to other unwanted dangerous situations.\n\n\n3) Remove the Keys\n\n\nMake sure the engine of both cars is turned off, the key has been removed, and the front hood has been opened.\n\n\n4) Connect the Red Jumper Cable to the Positive Terminal\n\n\nConnect the clip of the jumper cable carefully. Start by connecting the positive terminal of the car jumper cable to the positive terminal of the \u2018donor\u2019 car battery. The positive terminal usually has a red plastic cover with a plus (+) symbol. After that, connect the other end of the jumper cable to the positive terminal of the car battery that needs jump-starting.\n\n\n5) Connect the Black Jumper Cable to the Negative Terminal\n\n\nThen, connect the black jumper cable clip to the negative terminal of the \u2018donor\u2019 car battery. After that, connect the other end of the jumper cable clip to an unpainted metal object of the car that won\u2019t start such as the front bonnet metal rod.\n\n\n6) Start the Engine\n\n\nStart the engine of the \u2018donor\u2019 car.\n\n\n7) Wait a Moment\n\n\nWait for a few minutes. Then, try to start the engine of the car you\u2019re trying to jump-start. If it still won\u2019t start after a few tries, the battery might not be the problem. When this happens, it\u2019s best to get a mechanic to look at your engine since the problem may be caused by a faulty alternator, Electronic Control Unit (ECU), starter, or spark plug.\n\n\n8) Let the Engine Run\n\n\nIf you can get the engine running, let both car engines run for 5-10 minutes.\n\n\n9) Disconnect the Jumper Cables\n\n\nTurn off both cars\u2019 engines and then carefully disconnect the jumper cable in reverse order \u2013 disconnect the black cable from the car with the weak battery first, followed by the \u2018donor\u2019 car, and remove the red cable from the car with the weak battery first, followed by the \u2018donor\u2019 car. Make sure the clips don\u2019t touch one another, or either car, as you disconnect them.\n\n\n10) Test Drive\n\n\nAfter the jumper cable is removed, drive the car in normal traffic conditions for about 30 minutes to recharge the battery.\n\n\nSince your car\u2019s battery plays a vital role in your car\u2019s overall performance, taking the proper course of action is important when a problem arises with your battery. We hope this guide will help you to jump-start your car safely in the future.\n\n", "Haziq Asyraf\nA self-proclaimed foodie and gamer whose passion for food and games has recently extended to cars.", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Kad Touch \u2018n Go\n\n\nMeskipun kerajaan menyasarkan penggunaan RFID sebanyak 60 peratus menjelang akhir 2022, penggunaan kad Touch \u2018n Go dan Smart Tag Touch \u2018n Go masih boleh digunakan sehingga penghujung 2023. Kad Touch \u2018n Go merupakan kad prabayar yang menggunakan teknologi tanpa sentuh atau \ncontactless technology\u00a0\nyang dibaca melalui frekuensi radio dan perisian kad pintar. Di Malaysia, kad Touch \u2018n Go merupakan salah satu kaedah pembayaran popular untuk \nbayaran caj tempat letak kereta\n \ndan boleh digunakan untuk pembayaran tol di hampir semua lebuh raya di Malaysia.\n\n\nSelain itu, ia juga digunakan sebagai \nCommon Ticketing System\n (CTS) untuk pengangkutan awam utama di sekitar Lembah Klang seperti Monorel, LRT, KTM, MRT dan bas. Kad ini juga turut diterima sebagai salah satu kaedah pembayaran di kedai-kedai runcit, kedai serbaneka dan pasaraya-pasaraya.\n\n\nTempat Beli Kad Touch \u2018n Go\n\n\nAnda boleh beli kad Touch \u2018n Go di stesen minyak terpilih atau mana-mana lokasi lain yang mengambil bahagian.\n\n\nTempat Tambah Nilai Touch \u2018n Go\n\n\nAnda boleh tambah nilai kad Touch \u2018n Go anda di lebih daripada 14,000 lokasi tambah nilai di seluruh Semenanjung Malaysia, antaranya:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKiosk Layan Diri;\n\n\nStesen Minyak;\n\n\nFarmasi;\n\n\nPasaraya Besar;\n\n\nPeruncit/\nRetailer;\n\n\nKedai Serbaneka/Pasaraya Kecil;\n\n\nPejabat POS;\n\n\nMesin ATM;\n\n\nKaunter Khidmat Pelanggan Lebuhraya;\n\n\nLain-lain lokasi.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Smart Tag Touch \u2018n Go\n\n\nSmart Tag Touch \u2018n Go merujuk pada Sistem Pembayaran Automatik Rangkaian Tol (atau \nToll Network Automatic Payment Systems\n). Ia merupakan peranti \non-board\n sistem kutipan tol elektronik jarak jauh (maksimum 1.5 meter) yang digunakan bersama-sama dengan kad Touch \u2018n Go. Ia menggabungkan komunikasi inframerah yang dihubungkan dengan penerima inframerah yang dipasang pada bahagian atas plaza tol. Peranti ini membolehkan pengguna melalui lorong khas Smart Tag tanpa perlu berhenti.\n\n\nMana Nak Beli Smart Tag 2021/2022?\n\n\nSecara amnya, pihak Touch \u2018n Go telah mengumumkan bahawa mereka telah menghentikan jualan Smart Tag bagi memperkenalkan dan memberi laluan kepada teknologi RFID kepada pengguna lebih raya. Penamatan jualan peranti ini bagaimanapun tidak memberi kesan kepada peranti Smart Tag sedia ada pengguna. Ini bermaksud, pengguna masih boleh menggunakan peranti Smart Tag seperti biasa di hampir kesemua lebuh raya Malaysia.\n\n\nMeskipun begitu, sekiranya anda merancang untuk beli Smart Tag ini buat masa ini, anda disarankan untuk tidak berbuat sedemikian. Ini kerana, lorong kad Touch \u2018n Go dan Smart Tag akan dihentikan dan digantikan secara berperingkat dengan kad RFID Touch \u2018n Go menjelang penghujung tahun 2023.\n\n\nRFID vs Smart Tag: Beza RFID dengan Smart Tag\n\n\nSecara amnya, peranti Smart Tag digunakan bersama-sama dengan kad Touch \u2018n Go \u2013 ia mengaplikasikan isyarat teknologi inframerah. Manakala, kad RFID pula menggunakan teknologi frekuensi radio yang disambungkan dengan eWallet Touch \u2018n Go berdaftar \u2013 caj bayaran tol akan ditolak daripada kredit akaun eWallet Touch \u2018n Go.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeranti Smart Tag Touch \u2018n Go\n\n\nTag RFID Touch \u2018n Go\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0Menggunakan peranti \non-board\n\n\nMenggunakan pelekat\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiletakkan pada \ndashboard\n kereta\n\n\nDilekatkan pada \ncermin depan kereta\n/\nlampu depan kereta\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMenggunakan signal inframerah\n\n\nMenggunakan signal frekuensi radio\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMemerlukan kuasa bateri untuk beroperasi\n\n\nTiada menggunakan bateri/peranti tambahan\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDigunakan bersama-sama kad Touch \u2018n Go\n\n\nDisambungkan dengan eWallet Touch \u2018n Go\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBayaran tol ditolak daripada kad Touch \u2018n Go\n\n\nBayaran tol ditolak daripada eWallet Touch \u2018n Go\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTidak memerlukan pendaftaran atau pengaktifan\n\n\nMemerlukan \npendaftaran/pengaktifan dalam eWallet Touch \u2018n Go\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoleh digunakan oleh mana-mana kenderaan\n\n\nHanya boleh digunakan pada kenderaan yang berdaftar sahaja\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBayaran tol menerusi RFID membolehkan pelanggan atau pengguna lebuh raya menambah nilai akaun eWallet Touch \u2018n Go melalui pindahan secara dalam talian atau\n online transfer\n. Bagi pengguna Smart Tag pula, pengguna perlu menambah nilai kad Touch \u2018n Go secara fizikal sama ada melalui mesin ATM, kiosk Touch \u2018n Go, pusat khidmat pelanggan atau stesen minyak yang terpilih.\n\n\nKelebihan RFID Touch \u2018n Go Berbanding Smart Tag Touch \u2018n Go\n\n\nSecara amnya, RFID Malaysia merupakan salah satu langkah awal ke arah pelaksanaan Sistem Tol Aliran Bebas Pelbagai Lorong (MLFF) selaras dengan hasrat kerajaan untuk mendigitalisasikan dan memodenkan kaedah bayaran tol. Ia bukan sahaja memainkan peranan dalam mengurangkan kesesakan di plaza tol, namun turut menambah baik sistem pengurusan lalu lintas.\n\n\n\n\nKos pemasangan RFID lebih murah dan mampu milik berbanding peranti Smart Tag. Tag RFID ini dijual pada harga RM35 berbanding peranti Smart Tag yang boleh menelan belanja sehingga RM135* bagi setiap unit.\n\n\nBateri peranti Smart Tag perlu digantikan secara berkala. Peranti ini sering berdepan masalah kuasa bateri yang lemah yang merupakan masalah biasa yang sering dihadapi oleh pemilik peranti ini, sekali gus menyumbang kepada kesesakan di plaza tol.\n\n\nPelanggan atau pengguna boleh menambah nilai akaun eWallet Touch \u2018n Go secara \nonline.\n Ia secara tidak langsung mengelakkan masalah baki tidak mencukupi terutamanya semasa waktu puncak. Malah, baki akaun eWallet Touch \u2018n Go juga boleh diperiksa melalui aplikasi.\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda sedang mempertimbangkan untuk \njual model kereta lama \ndan berminat untuk membeli dan memiliki \nkereta terpakai\n, layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

Ini Perkara Penting Tentang Loan Kereta yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n), tetapi tiga perkara utama yang akan menentukan jumlah bayaran bulanan anda adalah jumlah pinjaman, tempoh pinjaman, dan juga kadar faedah.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nPanduan Lengkap Jual Beli Kereta Terpakai di Malaysia\n\n\nJumlah pembayaran bulanan biasanya boleh dikira dengan mendarab kadar faedah dengan jumlah keseluruhan pinjaman anda dan juga tempoh pinjaman (bilangan tahun). Oleh itu, semakin lama tempoh pinjaman anda, semakin banyak jumlah bayaran anda, sementara kadar faedah yang rendah pula dapat mengurangkan jumlah bayaran. Inilah sebabnya ramai orang mencari bank yang menawarkan kadar faedah yang rendah untuk membuat pinjaman.\n\n\nPromosi Hebat Akhir Tahun!

Jika anda menggunakan lebuh raya di Malaysia, anda perlu melalui sekurang-kurangnya satu plaza tol (atau mungkin lebih) sebelum anda tiba ke destinasi anda. Bergantung pada lebuh raya yang anda lalui, anda boleh bayar harga tol sama ada melalui \nkad Touch n\u2019 Go, SmartTAG atau RFID\n. Di Malaysia, Projek Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan (PLUS) dan Lebuhraya Pantai Timur (LPT) merupakan antara salah satu lebuh raya yang popular di Malaysia. Kadar tol PLUS dan kadar tol LPT ditentukan berdasarkan jarak perjalanan, jenis serta kelas kenderaan.\n\n\n\n\nTol Malaysia: Kadar Tol Lebuh Raya Malaysia\n\n\nSelain jalan persekutuan, jalan negeri dan jalan perbandaran, lebuh raya Malaysia turut memainkan peranan penting dalam sistem perhubungan negara. Hampir kesemua lebuh raya di Semenanjung Malaysia mengenakan kadar tol atau harga tol tertentu ke atas kenderaan yang menggunakannya mengikut jarak perjalanan, kategori dan kelas kenderaan. Biasanya, kadar bayaran tol ini digunakan untuk menyelenggara, menjaga dan membina lebuh raya baharu atau sedia ada. Lebuh raya Malaysia mengamalkan dua sistem bayaran tol iaitu sistem terbuka dan sistem tertutup:\n\n\n\n\nSistem terbuka \u2013 pengguna perlu membayar mengikut kadar bayaran tol di plaza tol tertentu dalam lingkungan jarak yang ditetapkan oleh sistem;\n\n\nSistem tertutup \u2013 pengguna mengambil tiket semasa memasuki lebuh raya di plaza tol masuk. Bayaran akan dikenakan semasa pengguna melalui plaza tol keluar mengikut kadar bayaran tol yang ditetapkan. Tol Malaysia seperti tol PLUS, tol LPT mengaplikasikan sistem tertutup \u2013 kadar tol PLUS ditentukan mengikut jarak perjalanan.\n\n\n\n\nProjek Lebuhraya Utara Selatan (PLUS): Kadar Tol Utara Selatan\n\n\nLebuh raya di Malaysia memainkan peranan penting dalam sistem perhubungan negara. Ia menghubungkan satu kawasan ke satu kawasan yang lain bertujuan untuk memendekkan masa perjalanan. Projek Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan (PLUS) misalnya, merupakan antara lebuh raya yang popular di Malaysia. Ia merupakan projek lebuh raya capaian terkawal kebangsaan yang pertama yang menghubungkan utara dan selatan Semenanjung Malaysia. Lebuh raya ini menghubungkan lapan buah negeri di bahagian barat Semenanjung Malaysia antara Bukit Kayu Hitam, Kedah dengan Johor Bahru, Johor. Ia sekali gus menjadikan Lebuhraya Utara Selatan (PLUS) sebagai lebuh raya terpanjang di Malaysia dengan panjang keseluruhan 847.7 kilometer.\n\n\nSenarai Harga Tol PLUS\n\n\nLebuh raya PLUS mengaplikasikan sistem transaksi tol sistem tertutup \u2013 pengguna perlu mengambil tiket semasa memasuki lebuh raya di plaza tol masuk dan membayar sejumlah bayaran di plaza tol keluar. Melalui tol sistem tertutup ini, kadar tol PLUS atau harga tol PLUS ini ditentukan berdasarkan jarak perjalanan.

Lebuh raya ini merupakan sambungan daripada Lebuhraya Kuala Lumpur-Karak, menghubungkan laluan dari Pantai Barat Semenanjung Malaysia ke Pantai Timur Semenanjung Malaysia. Lebuh raya ini menghubungkan tiga buah negeri di semenanjung iaitu Selangor, Pahang dan Terengganu dan merupakan alternatif yang lebih cepat berbanding jalan lama Kuala Lumpur-Kuantan dan Lebuhraya Jerangau-Jabor.\n\n\nSenarai Harga Tol LPT, Harga Tol LPT2\n\n\nSama seperti Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan, Lebuhraya Pantai Timur juga mempunyai sistem tol tertutup. Ini bermaksud, pengguna perlu mengambil tiket semasa memasuki lebih raya dan membayar mengikut kadar tol LPT atau kadar tol LPT2 semasa keluar daripada lebuh raya. Sama seperti kebanyakan tol sistem tertutup lain, kadar tol Lebuhraya Pantai Timur atau \nLebuhraya Pantai Timur toll rate \nditentukan berdasarkan jarak perjalanan, jenis serta kelas kenderaan.

With travel restrictions lifted in this new normal, more people are traveling across the country for vacations, work, or to visit family.\u00a0\n\n\nBut before you begin your journey,\u00a0 you should check your car to ensure you don\u2019t stumble upon mishaps on your drives. Having a checklist for your long drive can help you ensure that your car is in good working order and safe to drive.\u00a0\n\n\nSo, let\u2019s check out the things you should have on your car road trip maintenance checklist \u2013 before and after your trip.\n\n\n\n\nCar Maintenance Checklist Before Your Road Trip\n\n\nIt\u2019s generally recommended that you check and service your car before a long drive as driving long distances can put a lot of stress on your car. If you have existing mechanical problems, low fluids, or worn-out parts, your car is more likely to face issues on the road such as overheating or a punctured tire. These can be prevented by having a car maintenance checklist for your long drive.\n\n\n1. Check Your Engine Oil\n\n\nThe \nengine oil\n is essential for smooth engine operation, and checking it before your road trip should be at the top of your checklist. If your next engine oil change date is not far off, just have it changed. Old engine oil may not be in the best condition and can increase the risk of damage to your engine, especially on long drives.\n\n\nIf your engine oil service date is still far off, simply check the engine oil level and condition by checking the dipstick on your engine. Your engine oil level should be between the minimum and maximum markers on the dipstick. If it\u2019s below the minimum marker, simply top it up with some new engine oil. You should also ensure that the engine oil has a yellow or light amber color. If it\u2019s dark brown or black, it\u2019s best to change your oil.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nA Guide to Car Warning Lights & Indicators\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n2. Check Other Car Fluids\n\n\nBesides the engine oil, there are other car fluids responsible for keeping your car running optimally. You can refer to your car owner\u2019s manual for the service intervals of the various fluids and the specifications of the fluids your car needs. When checking the fluids, make sure that they are at the right levels and conditions.\u00a0\n\n\nWhile most car fluids are easy to inspect, some are harder to access and need to be inspected at the workshop. Here are the fluids to have on your long drive car checklist:\n\n\n\n\nTransmission fluid: \nEnsures that your gearbox can change gears smoothly on the road.\n\n\nCoolant: \nKeeps the engine running at a safe temperature and prevents overheating. Your engine is under a lot of strain on long drives, so having proper coolant levels is essential.\n\n\nBrake fluid: \nEnsures that your brakes have enough bite to stop your car whenever you need to.\n\n\nPower steering fluid:\n Keeps your steering responsive and smooth.\n\n\nWindshield washer fluid:\n Used to clean your windshield. If its level is low, you can mix a few drops of shampoo with water and add it to the windshield washer fluid reservoir.\n\n\n\n\nRead More:\n \nA Guide to Car Warning Lights & Indicators\n Part 2\n\n\nRead More:\n \nA Guide to Car Warning Lights & Indicators\n Part 3\n\n\n3. Check the Car Tires\n\n\nCar tires\n are the main contact points with the road and should be checked, both before and after your road trip. Firstly, make sure your tires are properly inflated. Poorly inflated tires will not only affect your comfort, fuel economy, and handling but could puncture on the road, \nleaving you stranded\n. Also, do check the tire treads and sidewalls for any particles lodged in them. These can be really dangerous as they can cause a flat tire.\n\n\nIf you are not sure how much pressure your tires need, you can find the manufacturer\u2019s recommended tire pressure for your car on the sticker by the driver\u2019s door, or in your car owner\u2019s manual. Also, make sure the treads on your tires are not worn out. You can check the tread wear indicators which are spread evenly through the main grooves in the tire. If the indicators are flush with the tread level, which is when the remaining depth is approximately 1.6 millimeters, it\u2019s time to change your tires.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n4. Check the Car Battery\n\n\nAnother component to check before your long drive is the \nbattery\n. Pay attention to the sound of the starter, if it sounds slow when you turn the key, it can indicate that you have a faulty starter or are in need of a new battery. If you haven\u2019t changed your battery in around a year and a half to two years, maybe it\u2019s time to replace it as well.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you have a multimeter, you can check the health of your battery at home. The normal battery reading is 12 to 13 volts when the engine is off and between 13.5 to 14.5 volts when the engine is running. If you don\u2019t have a multimeter, you can test your electrical system by starting your car and turning on the headlights. If they are dim but get brighter when you rev the engine, it means your lights are running off the battery and that the alternator is not producing enough current at idle.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n5. Ensure Your Car Lights & Turn Signals are Working\n\n\nThe car lights and signals are important in ensuring a safe drive and should not only be on your long drive car checklist, but ideally, be regularly checked. Due to how important having functioning lights on your car is, you can get summoned if you are caught driving with blown lights on your car. Car lights and signals include headlights, reverse lights, indicators, and taillights. If one of them is not working properly, it is advisable to have it replaced in pairs. To be extra safe, you can prepare several spare bulbs in case any of your lights stop working during your road trip.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n6. Prepare a Car Emergency Kit\n\n\nEvery car should have an emergency kit, especially when on a road trip. An emergency kit not only includes a first aid kit, but other items that can help you in sticky situations while on the road such as when you have a flat tire or when your car won\u2019t start. Here is a checklist of what to have in your car\u2019s emergency kit:\n\n\n\n\nTire changing tools including a spare tire and tire jack.\n\n\nWarning triangle kit.\n\n\nToolbox with basic tools such as screwdrivers, pliers, spanners, of varying sizes, and other tools.\n\n\nBattery jumper cable.\n\n\nDuct tape or cellophane tape.\n\n\nGloves in case you need to handle dirty, hot, or dangerous items.\n\n\nUmbrella and raincoat.\n\n\nMobile phone, flashlight, and power bank.\n\n\nBottle of water.\n\n\nFirst aid kit.\n\n\nTowels.\n\n\n\n\n7. Check the Brakes\n\n\nYour brake pads tend to be subjected to a lot of wear on road trips, especially if you drive to hilly areas like Genting Highlands. While the best way to check your brake pads is to remove the wheels, you can still do a quick check without taking them off. Look behind the wheel and check the thickness of the brake pad \u2013 the minimum thickness should be six millimeters.\n\n\nYou should also check the surface of your brake discs. If they have a lot of uneven and deep grooves similar to a vinyl record, they might need replacing. However, do note that a visual inspection like this is not the most accurate. Below we have more tips on how to check your brake pads.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCar Maintenance Checklist For After Your Trip\n\n\n8. Check & Clean the Interior\n\n\nAn important thing to have on your checklist after a long trip is to check your car\u2019s interior for dirt, clutter, and odor. \nClean your car\u2019s cabin\n area by removing the trash that might have been stored in your car. You should also clean your seats, carpets, dashboard, and steering wheel to remove dirt before disinfecting and sanitizing the interior space.\n\n\nCleaning Tools and Materials\n\n\n\n\nVacuum Cleaner:\n A vacuum with an extension hose and hand-held attachment will come in handy to clean the carpets, seats, and hard-to-reach nooks. It\u2019s always best to vacuum the interior of your car of all the dust and small particles before you apply any cleaning product.\n\n\nChemical Cleaning Products:\n You will need some specialty products to clean different interior surfaces like vinyl, plastic, upholstery, and carpeting. You can find most of these products at large supermarkets, automotive product stores, and petrol stations.\n\n\nBrushes and Applicators: \nDifferent-sized brushes can help in cleaning dust from air vents and other hard-to-reach places. You might also need sponges or rags to apply and wipe off dust and cleaning products\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n9. Clean the Exterior\n\n\nAfter a long drive, your car\u2019s exterior needs a cle\nan-up as well. After all, letting dirt accumulate on your car can ruin its paintwork in the long run. What you can do is either send your car for a car wash or do it yourself to get rid of the mud, dirt, and dust on your car\u2019s finish.\n\n\nDo remember to use proper car shampoo or car cleaning products as they are designed to be safe on your car\u2019s paint. Also, if you have bumped your car on your trip and see a dent or scratch on your car that is not too deep, you can\n fix them at home\n with some basic products that are easy to find.\n\n\nWhat to Check After Driving On Different Terrains\n\n\nMalaysia has diverse terrains that can be both a joy and a challenge to drive on. Driving on certain surfaces can strain your car and expose it to dirt or damaging contaminants. So, here are some tips on what to check on your car after your road trip on different terrains.\u00a0\n\n\nHilly Roads\n\n\nWhen you drive on hilly roads, the brakes and gearbox are put under a lot of strain which is why it\u2019s always important to check on them again once you\u2019re back. Check the wear and tear on your brake pads and your brake and transmission fluids levels. Also, pay attention to the transmission warning light and the way your car feels when the gear shifts. If the gear shifts feel odd, immediately get your car checked.\n\n\nWet or Muddy Roads\n\n\nWhen you \ndrive on wet or muddy roads\n, your tires and suspension system can face increased resistance and shock causing them to be damaged and go out of alignment. Therefore, be sure to check the condition and pressure of your tires, and if necessary, take your car to the workshop to get your wheels realigned. You should also thoroughly clean all surfaces of your car as dried mud gets tougher to clean the longer you leave it on.\n\n\nSandy Roads\n\n\nHaving sand on your car after driving by the beach can cause so\nme issues in the long term. The surface of your car and rims can get scratched and the paint can become dull due to the coarse sand. The best way to clean your car is to go to a professional car wash where they use a powerful water jet so they don\u2019t scratch your car when getting rid of the sand on the exterior.\u00a0\n\n\nPlus, the sand can get into the nooks and crannies of your car without you \nnoticing. Fortunately, you can just use a vacuum cleaner to suck the sand out or a damp microfiber cloth to wipe the sand off.\n\n\nLooking for a Road Trip-Worthy Car? Choose Carsome Certified\n\n\nChecking your car before and after a long drive can ensure that you have a comfortable and safe drive, and we hope this checklist can help you prepare for your next road trip.

Berdekatan Pili Bomba\u00a0\n\n\nFungsi pili bomba ini untuk membekalkan air untuk digunakan oleh pihak bomba bagi memadamkan kebakaran. Disebabkan itu, kawasan di sekeliling pili bomba sepatutnya dikosongkan untuk memudahkan pihak bomba menggunakannya jika berlaku sebarang kecemasan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: Zarith Safety\n\n\nJika ada kenderaan yang diletakkan berhampiran pili bomba tersebut, ia akan menyukarkan ahli bomba untuk menggunakannya. Bayangkan kerosakan yang berlaku kerana kebakaran terjadi yang sepatutnya boleh dielakkan jika pili bomba boleh digunakan.\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, sebelum parkir kereta anda, perhatikan keadaan sekeliling. Jika anda parkir berhampiran pili bomba, alihkan kereta anda segera.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Kawasan Bahagian Kecemasan Hospital\u00a0\n\n\nJika anda berkunjung ke hospital sama ada untuk pemeriksaan kesihatan ataupun melawat mereka yang sedang sakit, pastikan anda parkir kenderaan anda di parkir pelawat. Tidak kiralah sama ada hospital kerajaan ataupun swasta.\u00a0\n\n\nLaluan hospital terutama ke bahagian kecemasan merupakan jalan keluar masuk ambulans yang membawa pesakit yang kritikal. Jika pergerakan ambulans ini terhalang disebabkan oleh kenderaan yang diparkir, mungkin ada nyawa yang boleh melayang!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: Berita Harian\n\n\nDisebabkan itulah anda tidak boleh memarkir kenderaan anda di tempat lain selain daripada\u00a0 di parkir pelawat. Ini supaya laluan dalam hospital tidak dihalang oleh kenderaan lain dan kenderaan hospital seperti ambulans boleh bebas keluar masuk terutama untuk kes-kes kecemasan.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nMana Lagi Jimat: Pandu Sendiri Atau Naik Pengangkutan Awam?\n\n\nJadi, parkirlah di tempat yang telah disediakan. Selagi mana anda tidak ada kecemasan, anda boleh parkir jauh sedikit dan biarlah kawasan hospital lancar untuk kemudahan petugas kesihatan keluar masuk hospital.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Parkir OKU\u00a0\n\n\nKawasan ini tak perlu disebut lagi. Polemik \nparkir OKU\n yang disalah guna telah menjadi isu yang seperti tidak akan selesai.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nYang parkir di kawasan parkir khas OKU masih lagi ramai. Kerana apa? Kurangnya penguatkuasaan oleh pihak berkuasa dan juga pemilik premis. Jika anda bermoral dan berperikemanusiaan, anda tidak akan terfikir pun untuk parkir di situ.\u00a0\n\n\nJangan pentingkan diri dan parkir saja di tempat lain yang telah disediakan. Golongan OKU ini sepatutnya diberikan kemudahan untuk bergerak dengan lebih mudah dengan parkir OKU ini.\n\n\n4. Hadapan Bangunan Elektrik TNB\u00a0\n\n\nBangunan yang dimaksudkan ialah bangunan substesen elektrik Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) yang mengawal kuasa elektrik ke sesuatu kawasan. Kebiasaan bangunan ini mempunyai kawasan keluar masuk yang agak besar dan menjadi sasaran mereka yang inginkan parkir yang mudah.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMeletakkan kenderaan di hadapan pintu keluar masuk bangunan substesen TNB ini sebenarnya menyusahkan petugas TNB untuk masuk ke dalam bangunan tersebut. Jika laluan masuk mereka dah dihalang, macam mana mereka nak masuk untuk membaiki kerosakan yang berlaku? Oleh itu, jangan pernah terfikir pun untuk parkir di laluan masuk bangunan substesen TNB.\u00a0\n\n\n5. Parkir Sewaan Khas/Parkir Rizab\u00a0\n\n\nBiasanya di kawasan perniagaan, anda akan lihat beberapa parkir kereta yang warnanya berbeza daripada parkir biasa. Kebiasaannya warna garisan parkir ini ialah merah berbanding kuning bagi parkir biasa.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: Automachi\n\n\nParkir ini merupakan parkir sewaan khas yang telah disewa oleh pemilik bangunan atau kedai berhampiran daripada majlis perbandaran. Parkir ini digunakan oleh untuk kenderaan pemilik perniagaan ataupun pelanggan bagi perniagaan tersebut.\u00a0\n\n\nJika anda tidak ingin berurusan dengan perniagaan tersebut, maka anda tak boleh parkir kereta anda di situ. Mungkin anda boleh parkir selepas waktu perniagaan tapi pastikan anda mengalihkan kereta anda keesokan harinya kalau tak nak jadi seperti pemilik kereta ini:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n \n@abangjoi\n\n\nTak susah pun.

Walau bagaimanapun, masih terdapat kekurangan bekalan kereta baharu yang ketara di seluruh dunia. Ini telah menyebabkan banyak pengedar kereta seperti Perodua dan juga Honda tidak dapat memenuhi pesanan tertunggak mereka selama berbulan-bulan, hingga menyebabkan pengguna seperti kita tiada pilihan lain selain menunggu.\n\n\nJadi apa yang menyebabkan kekurangan bekalan kereta baharu ini berlaku dan apakah yang perlu anda lakukan jika anda perlukan kereta sekarang?\n\n\n\n\nKekurangan Cip Semikonduktor Mengganggu Bekalan Kereta Baharu\n\n\nFaktor utama yang mengganggu bekalan kereta baharu global adalah kekurangan cip semikonduktor atau mikrocip. Memandangkan kereta moden dipenuhi dengan komponen elektronik, ia memerlukan banyak mikrocip untuk memastikan semuanya berfungsi dengan baik. Mikrocip berfungsi sebagai \u2018otak\u2019 pada komponen elektronik moden dan komponen seperti sistem infotainment, tingkap kuasa, kamera undur, dan peralatan keselamatan semuanya memerlukan mikrocip untuk berfungsi.\n\n\nMengapa Berlakunya Kekurangan Cip Semikonduktor?\n\n\nApabila pandemik COVID-19 bermula dan permintaan terhadap kereta baharu menurun, pengedar kereta menghentikan pesanan cip semikonduktor mereka daripada pembekal. Pada masa yang sama, syarikat lain, terutamanya firma elektronik pengguna pula memesan lebih banyak untuk memenuhi permintaan. Apabila negara dibuka dan ekonomi mula bertambah baik, pengedar kereta mendapati amat sukar untuk mendapatkan mikrocip baharu dan terpaksa menunggu agak lama untuk mendapatkan bekalan.\n\n\nLebih memburukkan keadaan, pengeluar cip semikonduktor memerlukan sehingga enam bulan untuk memulakan semula pengeluaran mikrocip dengan tambahan tiga hingga lima bulan lagi untuk menghasilkannya. Dengan permintaan tanpa henti daripada pelbagai industri, pengedar kereta dan juga pengguna kini tiada pilihan lain selain daripada menunggu.\n\n\nGangguan Bekalan Alat Ganti\n\n\nFaktor lain yang menyumbang kepada kekurangan bekalan kereta baharu adalah gangguan dalam pengeluaran alat ganti kereta. Pengeluar dan vendor bahagian kereta juga agak terjejas kerana dibelenggu masalah akibat pandemik ini seperti isu bekalan dan juga jangkitan COVID-19 dalam kalangan pekerja.\n\n\nIni telah memperlahankan pengeluaran kereta dalam kalangan pengedar kereta, terutamanya di Malaysia. Walau bagaimanapun, bekalan alat ganti kereta kini semakin pulih pada 2022 dan ini menjadikan kekurangan cip semikonduktor sebagai isu utama yang menyebabkan kelewatan dalam penghasilan kereta baharu.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nTip Pembelian Kereta untuk Keluarga dan Ciri Keselamatan Yang Perlu Dipertimbangkan\n\n\nApa Yang Boleh Anda Lakukan Jika Anda Perlu Membeli Kereta\u00a0\n\n\nJika anda ingin membeli kereta baharu, anda perlu menunggu beberapa bulan untuk mendapatkannya. Bagi model popular seperti Perodua MyVi, anda mungkin perlu menunggu hingga enam ke dua belas bulan untuk mendapatkan kereta anda. Jadi jika anda sudah bersedia untuk mendapatkan kereta baharu, bincang dahulu dengan ejen jualan anda untuk mendapatkan gambaran umum tentang masa menunggu untuk kereta anda sebelum membuat tempahan.\n\n\n\n\nBeli Kereta Pramilik\n\n\nSebagai alternatif, anda boleh membeli kereta pramilik dan mendapatkannya dalam masa beberapa hari. Walaupun kereta pramilik tidaklah begitu glamor seperti kereta baharu, membeli kereta pramilik dapat membantu anda menjimatkan banyak wang kerana ianya telahpun susut nilainya. Ia juga tidak bermakna anda akan membeli kereta yang telah rosak.\n\n\nMemandangkan kereta lazimnya kehilangan 20 peratus daripada nilainya pada tahun pertama dan sehingga 60 peratus pada tahun kelima, agak mudah untuk mencari kereta pramilik yang bagus dengan jarak perbatuan yang rendah pada harga yang berpatutan. Selain itu, CARSOME mempunyai kereta pramilik CARSOME Certified dengan kualiti yang dijamin kerana setiap kereta telah lulus pemeriksaan 175-titik yang ketat serta telah dibaik pulih untuk memastikan ia dapat berfungsi dengan baik.\n\n\nBaiki & Selenggara Kereta Yang Anda Miliki\n\n\nJika anda ingin mencari kereta baharu kerana kereta lama anda mempunyai masalah mekanikal yang kecil, anda boleh membaiki dan menyelenggara kereta itu dan menggunakannya terlebih dahulu sementara menunggu bekalan kereta baharu kembali pulih. Sudah tentu anda perlu mengambil kira keadaan kereta anda juga, jika ia akan menelan perbelanjaan yang terlalu tinggi untuk dibaiki atau ia tidak boleh dipandu dengan baik, adalah lebih baik untuk anda membeli kereta pramilik sekarang.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nCara Menjaga Kereta Anda dan Mengapa Ia Perlu Dijaga\n\n\nBeli Kereta CARSOME Certified Tanpa Perlu Menunggu\n\n\nDengan pelbagai pilihan kereta CARSOME Certified kami yang sedia untuk dipandu, anda boleh membeli dan memandu kereta idaman anda dalam masa beberapa hari sahaja.

Tapi kalau kemalangan kereta semasa PANDU UJI itu yang tak biasa kita semua dengar!\u00a0\n\n\nSebelum anda membeli sesebuah kereta, antara perkara paling penting yang perlu dibuat ialah menguji kereta yang ingin dibeli dalam \nsesi pandu uji\n. Tujuan pandu uji adalah untuk bakal pembeli mengetahui prestasi dan keadaan kereta sebelum membuat keputusan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTetapi, apa boleh buat. Kemalangan boleh terjadi semasa anda memandu kereta sendiri ataupun kereta pandu uji yang bukan milik anda. Walaupun jarang berlaku, tetapi ada kebarangkalian ia akan terjadi. Mungkin anda sendiri yang menjadi mangsa, siapa tahu kan?\u00a0\n\n\nKemalangan semasa pandu uji, siapa yang nak kena bertanggungjawab sebenarnya? Adakah anda kena tanggung segala kerosakan yang terjadi pada kereta yang bukan milik anda itu? Adakah anda kena beli kereta yang dah rosak itu?\u00a0\n\n\nKemalangan Pandu Uji, Siapakah Yang Salah Sebenarnya?\u00a0\n\n\nSebenarnya ia bergantung kepada tahap kerosakan dan kemalangan yang bagaimana anda terlibat. Tak lupa juga, siapa yang menyebabkan kemalangan itu dan siapa yang terlibat dalam kemalangan itu. Ini semua faktor yang akan menentukan sama ada dompet anda akan \u2018koyak rabak\u2019 atau anda akan terselamat.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau kemalangan yang melibatkan kereta pandu uji ini, siapa yang akan menanggung kos baik pulih kereta? Kalau nak tahu siapa yang sepatutnya bertanggungjawab, kita kena tengok tahap kerosakan yang dialami oleh kereta pandu uji serta siapa yang mengakibatkan kemalangan tersebut.\u00a0\n\n\nKerosakan Tak Serius\u00a0\n\n\nKatakanlah anda sedang memandu uji, dan anda terlibat dalam kemalangan kecil yang menyebabkan kerosakan kecil sahaja seperti calar, maka anda tak perlu membayar kerosakan yang berlaku.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIni kerana pengedar kereta sudahpun mempunyai insurans berkumpulan bagi semua kereta untuk pandu uji. Insurans ini sudah cukup untuk melindungi kerosakan kecil yang disebabkan oleh kemalangan yang tidak begitu serius.\u00a0\n\n\nKemalangan Dengan Kerosakan Serius\u00a0\n\n\nWalau bagaimanapun, jika \nkemalangan\n menyebabkan kerosakan yang sangat teruk dan menyebabkan kereta pandu uji menjadi rugi keseluruhan, kita kena tengok beberapa faktor lain. Seperti apa? Contohnya siapa yang menyebabkan kemalangan tersebut.\u00a0\n\n\nWalau apapun, jika terjadi kemalangan, tidak kisah siapa pun yang bersalah, perkara pertama yang anda wajib buat ialah buat laporan \npolis\n. Kalau kereta rosak sampai tak boleh dipandu, hubungi syarikat insurans atau syarikat konsensi lebuh raya untuk sebarang bantuan penundaan kereta yang telah rosak.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKalau yang menyebabkan kerosakan teruk itu ialah anda sendiri, yang memandu dengan tidak berhati-hati, maka kos baik pulih harus ditanggung oleh anda. Untuk ini, anda ada dua pilihan untuk membayar kos ganti rugi.\u00a0\n\n\nPertama, anda boleh keluarkan duit anda sendiri. Kalau anda daripada golongan T20, mungkin ini tiada masalah untuk anda. Tapi bagaimana anda tiada duit yang cukup? Jangan risau, ada lagi jalan penyelesaian.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKedua, anda boleh gunakan insurans kereta anda yang sedia ada untuk menanggung kereta pandu uji yang telah anda rosakkan dan musnahkan. TETAPI, jika jumlah kerosakan melebihi jumlah polisi insurans, mungkin anda terpaksa mengeluarkan juga duit anda sendiri untuk mencukupkan jumlah ganti rugi.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda tiada insurans kereta sedia ada dan ini merupakan pembelian kereta anda yang pertama, anda mungkin terpaksa bergolok gadai untuk membayar jumlah kerosakan yang telah anda buat.\u00a0\n\n\nTapi, Kalau Bukan Anda Yang Salah?\u00a0\n\n\nEntah siapa yang salah\u2026 \ud834\udd1e\n\n\nTetapi andai kata bukan anda yang menyebabkan kemalangan tersebut. Anda cumalah mangsa keadaan. Yang menjadi punca ialah kereta atau kenderaan lain yang menyebabkan anda terlibat dalam kemalangan. Jadi, macam mana kalau ini terjadi?\n\n\nKalau untuk kes ini, jika pihak polis telah selesai membuat siasatan dan mendapati anda tidak bersalah, maka anda tak perlu risau. Pihak ketiga yang menyebabkan kemalangan itu yang WAJIB menanggung kos baik pulih kereta pandu uji yang anda pandu.\u00a0\n\n\nSatu lagi keadaan iaitu kemalangan tersebut disebabkan oleh kereta yang anda sedang uji itu mengalami kerosakan sebelum pandu uji lagi, maka dalam kes ini juga, anda tak perlu risau kerana pengedar yang akan menanggung kos kerosakan yang berlaku. Silap hari bulan, kos perubatan anda juga perlu mereka tanggung jika anda cedera dalam kemalangan.\u00a0\n\n\nBerita baiknya, anda langsung tak perlu nak susah-susah uruskan kerana pihak pengedar kereta itu sendiri yang akan menguruskan urusan tuntutan insurans ini. Ini kerana anda hanya mangsa keadaan yang tidak bersalah.\u00a0\n\n\nJangan Seronok Sangat!\u00a0\n\n\nMeskipun cuma kereta pandu uji, anda tetap kena buat seperti ia ialah kereta anda sendiri. Disebabkan itu, sentiasalah berhati-hati semasa memandu uji. Anda tidak akan tahu apa yang menanti sepanjang perjalanan memandu uji tersebut.\u00a0\n\n\nMemang seronok untuk memandu uji lagi-lagi untuk membeli kereta yang anda idamkan tetapi anda kena kawal diri anda dan kawal stereng kereta yang anda sedang pandu uji itu. Jangan jadi seperti kes pemandu hilang kawalan akibat terlalu seronok memandu kereta idamannya:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nNak Test Drive Sebelum Beli Kereta CARSOME? Kenapa Tak Boleh?

Anda bukan sahaja perlu tahu \ncara periksa kereta terpakai\n untuk pastikan ia dijamin berkualiti dan sesuai untuk kegunaan harian anda, malah harganya juga perlu sesuai dengan bajet anda.\n\n\nNak cari kereta terpakai yang terbaik mengikut bajet yang anda ada memang penting, tapi ia mungkin agak sukar untuk dilakukan jika anda kurang berpengalaman dan tidak mempunyai kenalan yang boleh membantu anda dalam perkara tersebut.\n\n\nJangan risau! Di sini kami senaraikan empat cara mudah yang anda boleh gunakan untuk kenal pasti kereta terpakai yang berbaloi untuk anda beli.\n\n\n1. Lihat Bahagian Luaran\n\n\nMula-mula sekali, anda perlu periksa bahagian luar kereta. Pusing keliling kereta beberapa kali dan pastikan yang badan kereta tidak mempunyai kesan kemik atau calar yang melampau. Jika anda ternampak sebarang kesan karat pada badan kereta, ia menunjukkan bahawa kereta itu tidak diselenggara dengan baik dan mungkin mempunyai masalah lain.\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, lihat keadaan tayar kereta untuk sebarang kerosakan dan pastikan yang ketebalan bunga tayar berada pada tahap optimum, iaitu melebihi 2mm. Jika terdapat kesan haus yang tidak sekata pada tayar, ia menunjukkan bahawa mungkin terdapat masalah pada sistem suspensi atau pada penjajaran tayar kereta.\n\n\n2. Teliti Komponen Dalaman\n\n\nKemudian, anda perlu meneliti bahagian dalaman kereta. Di sini anda perlu pastikan komponen elektrik seperti tingkap, lampu, radio dan semua butang dan tombol yang berada di dalam kereta berfungsi dengan baik. Jika terdapat sebarang lampu amaran yang menyala pada papan pemuka, kereta tersebut mungkin ada kerosakan yang perlu diperbaiki.\n\n\n \n\n\nSekiranya anda melihat kesan haus dan lusuh yang ketara pada bahagian tempat duduk dan karpet kereta, ini menunjukkan bahawa bahagian dalaman kereta mungkin tidak diselenggara dengan baik.\n\n\n3. Periksa Enjin Kereta\n\n\nEnjin merupakan jantung kepada kereta, jadi anda perlu memberi perhatian yang lebih apabila memeriksanya. Kalau boleh, hidupkan enjin dan dengar jika ada sebarang bunyi atau gegaran luar biasa pada bahagian enjin. Kereta yang telah diselenggara dengan baik mempunyai enjin yang boleh berjalan dengan lancar, tanpa bunyi yang pelik.\n\n\n\n\nSemasa enjin dihidupkan, pastikan yang tiada sebarang kesan kebocoran pada bahagian tersebut. Jika ada kesan minyak, cecair, atau penyejuk yang keluar daripada bahagian enjin, ia bermakna yang enjin kereta tersebut mungkin bermasalah.\n\n\n4. Pandu Uji Sampai Puas\n\n\nAkhir sekali, anda wajib \npandu uji kereta tersebut\n. Gunakan peluang ini untuk merasai pengalaman pemanduan kereta, di samping mengenal pasti jika terdapat sebarang masalah pada kereta yang tak boleh dikesan secara luaran.\n\n\nSemasa pandu uji, anda perlu memastikan yang komponen penting seperti enjin, brek, stereng, sistem pendingin hawa, dan sebagainya berfungsi dengan baik. Kereta terpakai yang berbaloi untuk dibeli haruslah berada dalam keadaan baik dan menawarkan pemanduan yang selesa, macam kereta CARSOME Certified kami yang telah melepasi pemeriksaan 175-titik yang teliti dan telah dibaik pulih secara profesional!\n\n\n\n\nKesimpulannya, kereta terpakai adalah pilihan terbaik jika anda mahu menjimatkan wang, tetapi penting untuk anda mengenal pasti jika kereta berbaloi untuk dibeli atau anda mungkin akan menyesal nanti. Pastikan anda periksa bahagian luar, dalam, dan enjin sepuas hati anda dan pandu uji kereta sebelum buat keputusan.\n\n\nNak cara yang lebih mudah? Dapatkan sahaja kereta pramilik di CARSOME!

Biasanya tayarlah punca kereta bergegar lagi-lagi semasa dipandu laju untuk beberapa sebab.\u00a0\n\n\n.\n\n\nTayar Tak Seimbang\u00a0\n\n\nApabila ada gegaran setelah anda mula memecut, kemungkinan besar tayar anda tidak seimbang. Mudah saja nak pastikan iaitu dengan mencari titik haus pada tayar anda. Yang bagusnya, masalah ini boleh selesai dengan menyeimbangkan semula tayar anda andai kata masalah ini tidak terlalu serius. Namun jika tayar dah rosak teruk, anda mungkin terpaksa menggantikannya semua sekali.\n\n\nUntuk menyeimbangkan semula tayar anda kembali, bawa kereta anda ke bengkel dan mekanik akan memeriksa tayar anda untuk mencari bahagian yang hausnya tidak sekata. Pemberat \nakan ditambah pada bahagian bertentangan tayar untuk menyeimbangkannya kembali. Kosnya cuma RM4-5 setiap tayar untuk penyeimbangan semula jadi periksa tayar anda atau anda mungkin terpaksa keluarkan belanja yang besar untuk tukar tayar baharu.\u00a0\n\n\nTayar Tak Cukup Angin\n\n\nKalau tayar tak cukup angin, tekanan pada tayar akan jadi tidak sekata. Ini akan menyebabkan kereta anda akan bergegar apabila ia bergerak laju. Putaran yang tak sejajar akan menyebabkan tayar menjadi tidak seimbang dan mengakibatkan anda rasa tak selesa dan tak selamat ketika memandu.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSentiasa ingat untuk pam tayar anda dengan tekanan angin yang sesuai untuk mengelakkan gegaran yang berlebihan ataupun tayar meletup semasa memandu!\u00a0\n\n\nBrek\u00a0\n\n\nKalau kereta anda cuma akan bergegar ketika membrek, gegaran tu mungkin berpunca daripada bahagian brek yang rosak.\u00a0\n\n\nRotor Brek Yang Meleding\u00a0\n\n\nApabila rotor brek sentiasa ditekan dengan kuat ketika membrek, ia akan menjadi meleding kerana terlalu panas. Ini menyebabkan rotor brek akan \u2018memakan\u2019 pad brek dan mengakibatkan gegaran apabila brek ditekan. Rotor brek yang meleding sepatutnya diganti segera untuk mengelakkan kemalangan berlaku ketika memandu di masa akan datang.\u00a0\n\n\nAngkup Brek (Brake Caliper) Melekat\u00a0\n\n\nAngkup brek (brake caliper) yang rosak boleh menyebab gegaran pada pedal brek dan stereng apabila anda cuba nak membrek. Apabila ini terjadi, anda terbau seperti sesuatu sedang terbakar apabila kereta dah berhenti. Kalau dibiarkan, brek anda akan hilang cengkaman dan kuasa membrek akan jadi kurang.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda dah tahu brek kereta anda sudah tak berfungsi seperti yang sepatutnya, jangan lupa untuk servis dan gantikannya dengan segera.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nBrek Kereta Tak Makan? 9 Tanda Brek Kereta Rosak atau Bermasalah yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\nStereng\u00a0\n\n\nAntara punca lain yang boleh menyebabkan masalah gegaran ini ialah sistem stereng\n\n\nKemudi Kuasa (Power Steering)\u00a0\n\n\nPernah tak terjadi, kalau anda memandu di jalan lurus semuanya okay saja tapi apabila anda nak membelok, kereta mula bergegar? Kalau pernah, mungkin kemudi kuasa (power steering) yang bermasalah. Kalau ini terjadi, periksa takungan cecair kemudi kuasa anda untuk sebarang kebocoran. Takungan boleh dijumpai di ruang enjin tetapi kedudukannya berbeza mengikut model kereta, tetapi anda boleh mencarinya dengan mudah memandangkan penutup takungan akan berlabel dengan \u2018Power Steering Fluid\u2019.\u00a0\n\n\nKemudi kuasa memerlukan cecair yang cukup untuk pemanduan yang lancar. Kalau tak cukup, anda boleh hilang kawalan kereta anda dan anda akan rasa sangat susah ketika nak membelok dan seterusnya menyebabkan gegaran.\u00a0\n\n\nAnda berisiko untuk merosakkan sistem kemudi kuasa jika anda meneruskan pemanduan dengan kebocoran yang. Segera hantarkan ke bengkel supaya mekanik boleh periksa dan baiki apa yang rosak.\u00a0\n\n\nSistem Suspensi\u00a0\n\n\nAnda perasan tak yang kereta anda akan bergegar lain macam apabila dibawa pada kelajuan rendah hingga sederhana? Ini mungkin berpunca daripada sistem ampaian (suspension) kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSistem Suspensi Yang Tak Sejajar (Misaligned)\u00a0\n\n\nKerap terlanggar lubang dan bonggol boleh menyebabkan suspensi kereta anda rosak. Kalau dah rosak teruk, ia boleh menyebabkan suspensi kereta tak sejajar lalu berlakulah gegaran pada stereng.\u00a0\n\n\nKomponen Yang Dah Haus Dan Longgar\u00a0\n\n\nSelalunya punca kereta anda bergegar ialah tayar tetapi kadang-kadang ia juga boleh disebabkan oleh komponen yang dah longgar dan haus dalam sistem suspensi kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\nKomponen seperti sendi bebola (ball joints), sesendal lengan kawalan (\ncontrol arm bushing) ataupun bearing\n yang dah terlalu haus dan lusuh boleh menjadi punca dan gegaran yang terjadi boleh jadi satu petanda yang sistem suspensi anda sedang rosak.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBerbincanglah dengan mekanik dan periksa komponen ini untuk memastikan semuanya masih bersambung dengan betul dan gantikan mana yang telah haus.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nCara Menjaga Kereta Anda dan Mengapa Ia Perlu Dijaga\n\n\nEnjin\u00a0\n\n\nEnjin yang berdetar(rattles) boleh menjadi mimpi buruk kepada pemilik kereta terutamanya jika ia datang sekali dengan gegaran yang kuat daripada bahagian enjin. Anda mungkin nak periksa bahagian-bahagian ini kalau anda perasan enjin anda bergegar lebih daripada yang sepatutnya semasa tidak bergerak ataupun sedang dalam pemanduan.\u00a0\n\n\nPalam Pencucuh (Spark Plug) Rosak\n\n\nPalam pencucuh (spark plug) membantu menghidupkan enjin kereta anda dan memastikan ia kekal hidup dengan mencipta percikan elektrik untuk mencucuh campuran udara dan bahan api dalam kebuk pembakaran supaya omboh enjin boleh bergerak dan terus hidup. Apabila pedal pecut dipijak atau apabila anda mencapai satu kelajuan tertentu dan kereta anda bergegar teruk, palam pencucuh anda mungkin dah rosak kerana ia tidak lagi boleh menghasilkan percikan elektrik dengan baik.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDengan palam pencucuh yang telah rosak, silinder dalam enjin mungkin akan semput ketika ia hidup atau tidak bergerak. Periksa palam pencucuh dan kalau perlu, terus tukar. Periksa juga pendawaian untuk memastikan semuanya masih bersambung dengan betul atau kalau ada yang perlu ditukar.\u00a0\n\n\nTali sawat yang rosak\n\n\nPelbagai komponen penting enjin bergantung kepada tali sawat untuk berfungsi dengan lancar. Kalau tali sawat retak sedikit saja, ia boleh menyebabkan enjin kereta anda bergetar. Jika tali sawat longgar atau rosak, beberapa komponen seperti kipas dan omboh (piston) tidak dapat berfungsi dengan betul menyebabkan gegaran dan bunyi berdetar. Pastikan periksa tali sawat kalau-kalau ia perlu ditukar.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPendakap Motor Longgar\n\n\nPendakap motor berfungsi menyokong enjin untuk memastikan ia kekal pada kedudukannya dalam ruang enjin dan menyerap hentakan apabila kereta sedang bergerak. Apabila pendakap ini rosak atau sudah haus, ini akan menyebabkan enjin bergegar dengan teruk apabila kereta tidak bergerak atau sedang dipandu.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nDrama Kereta: Elakkan Kesilapan Berikut Semasa Membeli Kereta Terpakai\n\n\nBeli Kereta CARSOME Certified Untuk Ketenangan Minda\n\n\nTak kisahlah apapun puncanya, kereta yang bergegar jika tidak diperiksa boleh memberi kesan kepada ketahanan dan keselamatan kereta.

Don\u2019t Forget About the After-Sales Service", "By\n \nAhmad Azwadie Azman", "23/04/2021", "\n\n\n\n\n", "\n\nThinking of buying a used car? Great! However, there are a lot of preconceived notions about purchasing used cars, specifically when it comes to the question of their roadworthiness.\u00a0\n\n\nBut used cars are reliable if you purchase them from a trusted platform such as Carsome. This is because each car in Carsome\u2019s inventory undergoes stringent checks before it qualifies to be sold on the website.\u00a0\n\n\nOf course, there are various factors you should take into account before you make your final decision \u2013 this includes the after-sales service.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat is After-Sales Service?\u00a0\n\n\nAfter-sales service is just like its name \u2013 it is the service you receive after you make a purchase. This service is important with every product or service you buy into as you may need some maintenance after your purchase and also, it gives you a peace-of-mind.\u00a0\n\n\nNevertheless, there are many types of after-sales service if you look at a general perspective. But after-sales service for used cars can be quite specific as it includes maintenance or repairs.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nAfter-sales services for second-hand cars generally come in packages that are promoted as cheaper alternatives than, say, if you were to take your car to a mechanic.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nWhat is a Good After-Sales Service Package?\u00a0\n\n\nA good after-sales service package would include these key items.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWarranty: \nThis is a documented \u2018promise\u2019 made to a customer where the company will repair or replace any damages, as well as issues encountered within the specified warranty period.\u00a0\n\n\nRepairs:\n This may come with the warranty, where if a specific part of the car stumbles upon a technical issue or requires repair during the warranty period, the company will cover the costs with a fix or a replacement.\u00a0\n\n\nMaintenance: \nThe upkeep of a used car is equally important to repairs \u2013 think of it as damage prevention. The secret to making sure your car is continuously roadworthy is making sure you send it for regular servicing or checks. This can include work such as cleaning your air filters or checking your car\u2019s condition.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat Type of After-Sales Service Does Carsome Offer?\n\n\nCarsome thrives on providing solutions for people looking for a good quality used car. We know that buying a used car comes with risk which is why our fleet of second-hand vehicles have passed a 175-point inspection to ensure it is free of fire, flood, frame, or major damage.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBut to give more assurance to our customers, our Carsome Promise cars come with a one-year warranty, and a five-day money-back guarantee. The one-year warranty covers any issues with a 24-hour claim and customer support. Meanwhile, the money-back guarantee allows a full refund for customers that want to return their car \u2013 this is provided that it is returned within five days after purchase.\u00a0\n\n\nShould You Take an After-Sales Service Package?\n\n\nIn short, yes. Although Carsome provides a five-day money-back guarantee and a one-year warranty, purchasing an after-sales service package gives you a cheaper alternative when making sure your car is kept in a roadworthy condition.\u00a0\n\n\nTypically, checks on cars by mechanics are much more costly and they charge per specific service.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAlthough warranties are included, this is only used when something in the car goes wrong. However, these issues are avoidable with proper maintenance, which is provided by the affordable after-sales service packages.\u00a0\n\n\nGrab Carsome\u2019s Special After-Sales Package\u00a0\n\n\nIf you are looking to maintain your existing car or purchase a new ride, Carsome is offering an after-sales service package in collaboration with Lim Tayar.\u00a0\n\n\nThe after-sales voucher, which retails for RM189.20, will be even more affordable for the first 100 customers with an early bird price of only RM160!

Kalau anda nak tahu, pantang kereta ni mudah sangat untuk dibuat. Dan untuk anda yang tak ada ilmu tentang kereta, jangan risau. Panduan ini sangat-sangat mudah untuk semua orang ikuti.\u00a0\n\n\n1. Pandu Dengan Cermat\n\n\nUntuk 1000 km yang pertama, pandu kereta anda dengan cermat. Janganlah pula anda tekan pedal minyak sampai lantai dan pandu terlalu laju. Penting juga untuk anda tidak pandu kereta anda terlalu jauh dalam tempoh yang lama.\u00a0\n\n\nSepanjang tempoh berpantang, cuba pandu kereta anda dengan pelbagai variasi kelajuan tetapi dalam jarak yang tak terlalu jauh. Janganlah anda pandu kereta anda cuma untuk pergi kedai atau ambil anak sekolah. Berpada-padalah dalam memandu sepanjang tempoh berpantang ni.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBila anda pandu kereta dengan cara ini, anda tak beri terlalu banyak tekanan kepada enjin. Enjin kereta masih lagi baharu dan jika ia dah \u2018dilenjan\u2019 habis-habisan, enjin anda mungkin akan mengalami kerosakan.

Ruang toleran ini satu kebiasaan untuk memastikan kereta boleh berfungsi dengan baik.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda dah \u2018lenjan\u2019 enjin kereta anda awal-awal, ruang toleran dalam enjin ni boleh menyebabkan kerosakan pada bahagian enjin. Sebab itulah ada kes kereta bergegar teruk walaupun kereta baru saja keluar kedai.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nKalau Kereta Anda Bergegar Semasa Memandu, Cuba Periksa 5 Komponen Ini\n\n\n2. Jangan Bawa Beban Berat!\u00a0\n\n\nKereta baharu kan? Mesti jadi tarikan semua orang. Kawan-kawan, keluarga, mak, ayah, datuk, nenek, dan satu kampung. Kereta baharu kan? Bau kedai pun tak hilang lagi. Jadi mesti akan ramai yang nak merasa naik kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\nBoleh saja kalau anda nak bawa saudara-mara ke, keluarga ke, atau kawan-kawan anda naik kereta baru anda tapi anda kena ingat! Jangan bawa beban yang banyak sangat sepanjang tempoh pantang ni.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDalam tempoh \u2018break-in\u2019 ni, enjin kereta akan mengalami proses pendasaran atau \u2018bed-in\u2019. Dalam erti kata lain, enjin anda masih lagi \u2018manja\u2019 dan tak boleh menerima beban yang terlalu banyak. Kalau tak, bersedialah untuk keluarkan belanja yang banyak untuk baiki enjin kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Yang Panas Tu Selalunya Bagus.\u00a0\n\n\nAnda kena ingat satu perkara, enjin yang panas ialah enjin yang paling bagus. Jadi, dalam tempoh \u2018break-in\u2019, pastikan enjin anda cukup panas sebelum memulakan apa-apa perjalanan.\u00a0\n\n\nCara yang betul untuk panaskan enjin adalah dengan memandu dalam jarak yang dekat di sekitar rumah anda. Jangan pandu terlalu laju. Kalau anda nak panaskan enjin kereta, jangan biarkan kereta hidup tapi tak bergerak. Itu boleh mendatangkan masalah kepada enjin dan juga menyebabkan pembaziran petrol.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nTemperature Kereta Naik: Apa yang Perlu Dilakukan Jika Enjin Kereta Overheat?\n\n\nCuba mulakan perjalanan dengan perlahan. Biarkan enjin kereta anda panas perlahan-lahan. Pandu seketika berdekatan rumah anda sebelum memasuki lebuh raya dan perlahan-lahan tingkatkan kelajuan anda.\u00a0\n\n\nJangan terus pandu laju dengan enjin yang sejuk. Ia akan menjejaskan prestasi enjin anda. Nanti tak pasal-pasal kereta baharu anda tu kena masuk bengkel sebab enjin ada masalah.\u00a0\n\n\nSayangkan Anak Tangan-tangankan, Sayangkan Kereta Tolonglah Pantang!\u00a0\n\n\nWalaupun teknologi enjin dah makin maju, tempoh \u2018break-in\u2019 masih lagi satu proses yang sangat penting untuk pastikan enjin boleh berfungsi dengan sebaiknya sepanjang masa. \u2018Break-in\u2019 period juga boleh memanjangkan ketahanan enjin dan bahagian kereta yang lain.\u00a0\n\n\nBenda mudah saja. Jangan buat lebih-lebih dengan kereta baru anda. Jangan bawa laju-laju. Jangan bawa jauh-jauh. Jangan pandu lama-lama. Panaskan enjin kereta dengan betul.

Anda boleh lihat dan buat perbandingan sendiri sebelum membeli!\u00a0\n\n\n*Senarai ini tidak mengikut turutan.\u00a0\n\n\n1. Perodua Bezza\u00a0\n\n\nSemenjak ia diperkenalkan pada tahun 2016, kereta keluaran Perodua ini terus menjadi pilihan rakyat Malaysia. Sehingga Januari 2022, sebanyak 190,291 buah Perodua Bezza telah dijual di Malaysia!\u00a0\n\n\nPopulariti Perodua Bezza ini bukan hanya di Malaysia tetapi juga menular sehingga Sri Lanka. Di Sri Lanka, model Bezza ini merupakan \nmodel sedan yang paling laku di sana\n!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKenapa Perodua Bezza ini menjadi pilihan rakyat Malaysia? Antara ciri utama yang selalu diperkatakan oleh orang ramai adalah penjimatan minyak. Bayangkan, dengan hanya seliter minyak anda boleh mendapat perjalanan sejauh minimum 22km ataupun 4.5liter/100km.\u00a0\n\n\nSelain itu, Perodua juga tidak ketinggalan meletakkan pelbagai fungsi keselamatan dalam Perodua Bezza bagi menjamin keselamatan penumpang dan pemandu seperti:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPre-Collision Warning\n (PCW) \u2013 memberi amaran kepada pemandu jika ia mengesan halangan di hadapan.\n\n\nPre-Collision Brake\n (PCB) \u2013 jika PCW tidak disedari oleh pemandu, brek utama akan diaktifkan bagi memberhentikan kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nForward Movement Warning\n (FDA) \u2013 memberitahu pemandu jika kenderaan di hadapan sudah bergerak.\u00a0\n\n\nPedal Misoperation Control\n (PMC) \u2013 mengawal enjin kereta sekiranya pedal minyak ditekan secara tiba-tiba. Kamera stereo akan menggeser objek di hadapan kereta kira-kira empat meter daripada kereta dan sistem ini akan menahan enjin dan kereta agar tidak boleh bergerak ke hadapan\n\n\nAnti-lock Braking System\n (ABS) \u2013 membolehkan pemandu mengawal kenderaan dengan lebih baik semasa brek ditekan.\u00a0\n\n\nElectronic Brake Force Distribution\n (EBD) \u2013 sistem yang membolehkan brek ditekan pada kadar yang sama untuk keempat-empat tayar supaya kereta boleh dikawal dengan lebih selamat.\u00a0\n\n\nTraction Control\n \n(TRC) \u2013 sistem ini boleh membantu kereta tidak tergelincir semasa membelok terutama di atas jalan licin.\n\n\nU.S. Security System 2.0\n\n\nHill Climb Assistance\n (HSA)\n\n\n\n\nSelain daripada ciri keselamatan dan jimat minyak, antara sebab lain mengapa Bezza ini menjadi antara model kereta yang boleh dipercayai ialah ruang butnya yang sangat luas. Berapa luas? 508 liter. Anda nak pindah rumah pun boleh dengan Bezza ini!\n\n\nPaling penting, semua ini anda boleh dapat pada harga bermula \nRM34,580\n sehingga \nRM49,980\n. Harga sedan yang paling murah dalam pasaran Malaysia!\u00a0\n\n\nNak beli Perodua Bezza? Anda boleh beli Bezza pramilik \nDI SINI\n.\u00a0\n\n\n*Kesemua ciri di atas adalah berdasarkan Perodua Bezza 2020\n\n\n2. Perodua Myvi\u00a0\n\n\nModel kereta ini telah memenangi hati rakyat Malaysia untuk sekian lama. Punyalah hebat model ini sampaikan ia telah menjadi antara model kereta paling laris untuk 15 tahun (2006-2020) berturut-turut!\u00a0\n\n\nModel apakah ini? Dah tentulah \nMyvi\n! Raja Jalanan atau \u2018King of the Road\u2019. Apabila sesuatu model kereta itu dah berjaya rangkul anugerah kereta paling laris, dah tentulah ciri kereta tersebut yang menjadikan ia menjadi antara model yang paling boleh diharapkan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAntara sebab mengapa model ini masih menjadi pilihan ramai ialah ia sangat tahan lama. Anda mungkin boleh menemukan model pertama yang masih lagi boleh dipandu dan masih lagi dalam keadaan yang bagus walaupun telah berusia lebih satu dekad!\u00a0\n\n\nBagi model 2022, ia berkongsi beberapa ciri keselamatan yang hampir sama dengan Perodua Bezza seperti \nPre-Collision Warning\n \n(PCW), \nPre-Collision Brake\n (PCB), dan lain-lain. Selain itu, Myvi 2022 turut dilengkapi dengan ciri lain seperti \nLane Keep Control\n \n(LKC), \nBlind Spot Monitor\n (BSM), dan \nRear Cross-Traffic Alert\n \n(RCTA).\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk mereka yang baru bekerja, Myvi adalah pilihan terbaik. Ciri keselamatan yang terbaik di samping ruang dalaman yang luas berbaloi dengan harga yang dibayar. Bermula pada harga \nRM46,500\n hinggalah \nRM59,900\n. Cukup berbaloi dengan segala ciri yang ditawarkan.\u00a0\n\n\n3. PROTON Saga\u00a0\n\n\nSaga merupakan kereta nasional pertama dilancarkan pada tahun 1985. Ia merupakan antara kereta ikonik yang menjadi identiti Malaysia, menandakan Malaysia antara negara yang terkehadapan dalam industri permotoran di wilayah Asia.\u00a0\n\n\nSetelah lebih 30 tahun berada dalam pasaran, ia masih lagi dijual dengan beberapa naik taraf dibuat untuk membolehkan kereta ini menjadi lebih selamat dan boleh diharapkan untuk semua pemandu di Malaysia.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAntara sebab mengapa kereta Saga ini tetap menjadi pilihan pemandu Malaysia adalah kerana alat ganti model ini sangat mudah untuk dijumpai dan dibeli. Ianya juga murah dan tidak berlu ditempah khas.\u00a0\n\n\nSemenjak dilancar pada tahun 1985, model ini terus berevolusi dan banyak ciri terkini telah ditambah termasuklah ciri-ciri keselamatan seperti:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeg udara berkembar hadapan\n\n\nAnti-lock Braking System\n (ABS)\n\n\nElectronic Brake Force Distribution\n (EBD)\u00a0\n\n\nSistem penggera\u00a0\n\n\nPelumpuh Enjin (\nImmobilizer\n)\u00a0\n\n\nBrake Assist\u00a0\n\n\nJangkar \nISOFIX\n \u2013 untuk memudahkan pemasangan tempat duduk kanak-kanak.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*berdasarkan Saga model 2022\n\n\nSebagai sedan dengan harga yang sangat berpatutan, \nPROTON Saga\n sangatlah sesuai sebagai kereta keluarga. Pada harga bermula \nRM34,800\n sehinggalah \nRM44,800\n, harga ini sangat berpatutan berbanding ciri yang ditawarkan oleh kereta sedan ini.\u00a0\n\n\n4. \nPerodua\n Alza\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda sedang mencari kereta dengan tujuh tempat duduk yang anda boleh harapkan, mungkin Perodua Alza anda boleh pertimbangkan.\u00a0\n\n\nPerodua Alza\n bukanlah kereta yang baharu dalam pasaran. Ia telah dilancarkan pada tahun 2009. Perodua Alza ini merupakan model MPV pertama keluaran Perodua. Pada tahun 2022, model terkini dilancarkan semula dengan pelbagai ciri beserta rekaan baharu.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKalau nak cakap soal harga, ia agak berpatutan bagi sebuah kereta MPV tujuh tempat duduk. Bagi model terkini, ia bermula pada harga \nRM62,500\n hinggalah \nRM75,500\n. Dengan harga ini, ia boleh dijadikan alternatif kepada kereta MPV import dan premium yang jauh lebih mahal.\u00a0\n\n\nModel baharu Perodua Alza tahun 2022, ini ciri keselamatan yang telah disediakan:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nEnam beg udara\u00a0\n\n\nPedal \nMisoperation Control\n (PMC)\u00a0\n\n\nFungsi \nFollow Me Home \n\u2013 \nlampu kereta akan terus menyala sekalipun kenderaan telah dimatikan. Ia akan kekal hidup untuk 10 hingga 15 saat untuk membolehkan pemandu berjalan ke rumah jika keadaan sekeliling gelap.\u00a0\n\n\nLane Keep Control\n \n\u2013 \nsistem ini akan membolehkan anda untuk kekal dalam laluan. Jika kenderaan anda terkeluar sedikitpun daripada laluan, stereng kereta akan bergegar untuk mengingatkan pemandu.\u00a0\n\n\nBlind Spot Monitoring \n\u2013\n fungsi yang membolehkan anda melihat dengan lebih jelas ke arah titik buta kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Alza boleh menjadi satu pelaburan yang menguntungkan lagi-lagi jika anda merancang untuk membina keluarga yang besar atau jika anda mempunyai keluarga yang besar. Ruangnya yang sangat luas sangat selesa terutama bagi anak kecil.\u00a0\n\n\n5. PROTON Persona\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda nak cari sedan, jenama terbaik dan paling boleh diharap ialah PROTON. Selain daripada PROTON Saga, PROTON Persona juga merupakan antara model kereta yang boleh dijamin terbaik untuk anda.\u00a0\n\n\nPROTON Persona\n juga bukanlah model baharu. Ia telah dilancarkan pada tahun 2007 dan telah berada di dalam pasaran lebih 13 tahun dan ia masih lagi menjadi pilihan rakyat Malaysia untuk kereta sedan yang berpatutan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPROTON telah melancarkan model terbaharu model Persona 2022 dan kereta ini telah mendapat pelbagai penambahbaikan yang lebih baik daripada model sebelum ini iaitu model 2019.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau bercakap soal keselamatan, PROTON memang tak ambil mudah tentang ini dan telah menaik taraf model Persona terkini ini. Antara ciri-ciri keselamatan yang ada termasuklah:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nEnam beg udara\u00a0\n\n\nAnti-lock Braking System\n (ABS)\n\n\nElectronic Brake Force Distribution\n (EBD)\u00a0\n\n\nTraction Control\n (TRC)\u00a0\n\n\nKawalan keseimbangan\u00a0\n\n\nHill Start Assist\n\n\n\n\nModel Persona ini masih lagi menjadi pilihan bagi kereta jenis sedan. Memandangkan harganya yang sangat berpatutan bagi model asas. Anda boleh dapatkan model Persona ini bermula pada harga \nRM45,800\n untuk model asas sehingga \nRM55,800\n bagi model premium.\u00a0\n\n\nKereta \u2018Lejen\u2019 Yang Masih Pujaan Ramai\u00a0\n\n\nKesemua kereta yang disenaraikan merupakan kereta yang telah berada dalam pasaran lebih daripada 10 tahun. Untuk sesebuah model kereta untuk berada dalam pasaran selama itu bukanlah perkara yang mudah. Kerana itulah model ini merupakan kereta bajet 2022 yang paling boleh diharapkan!\u00a0\n\n\nModel-model ini merupakan bukti bahawa tak semestinya kereta model luar negara saja yang boleh diharap. Kereta berjenama tempatan juga ada kelebihannya malah ada yang setaraf dengan model luar negara.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nOPR & Pinjaman Kereta: Cara Tangani Kenaikan Pinjaman\n\n\nDiharapkan bacaan ini boleh membantu anda membuat pilihan kereta yang terbaik untuk diri anda. Kerana membeli kereta merupakan komitmen jangka masa panjang jadi pilihan kereta yang terbaik yang boleh memberikan nilai terbaik dengan harga yang anda bayar.\u00a0\n\n", "Amarnath", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Bagi sebuah kenderaan baharu yang berharga sekitar RM60,000, kenderaan anda susut nilai kira-kira RM6,600 dalam masa satu saat! Secara amnya, kereta di Malaysia mengalami susut nilai terbesar dalam tempoh 12 bulan pertama pemilikan iaitu antara 10 hingga 20 peratus daripada nilai asal jualan.\n\n\nAdakah kadar susut nilai sesebuah kenderaan boleh dikurangkan? Adakah nilai jualan semula atau \nresale value\n tinggi merupakan salah satu faktor penting yang perlu dititikberatkan sebelum membeli kereta baharu idaman? \nResale value\n atau nilai jualan semula yang tinggi merupakan salah satu perkara yang perlu dipertimbangkan sebelum membeli kereta pertama anda lebih-lebih lagi jika anda merupakan individu yang sering bertukar-tukar kereta mengikut \ntrend\n dan tidak merancang untuk menggunakan sesebuah kereta dalam jangka masa yang panjang.\n\n\n\n\nApa Itu \n\u2018Resale Value\u2019\n?\n\n\nSecara amnya\n, resale value \nmerujuk pada nilai jualan semula kereta dalam pasaran \nkereta terpakai\n jika anda mengambil keputusan atau mempertimbangkan untuk menjual atau menukar kereta anda selepas tempoh masa tertentu. Secara amnya, kereta baharu akan susut nilai sebanyak 20% pada tahun pertama, 15% pada tahun kedua dan seterusnya sehingga tahun ke-10. Sesebuah kereta biasanya hanya bernilai kira-kira 10% daripada nilai asal selepas 10 tahun.\n\n\n10 Faktor yang Mempengaruhi \n\u2018Resale Value\u2019\n Kereta Anda\n\n\nKadar susut nilai kereta merupakan suatu perkara yang tidak boleh dielakkan. Kebiasaannya, tinggi rendah nilai jualan semula atau \nresale value\n sesebuah kenderaan dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor. Faktor-faktor ini secara tidak langsung meningkatkan kadar susut nilai dan menjejaskan nilai jualan semula atau \nresale value\n yang tinggi untuk kereta anda. CARSOME menyenaraikan 10 faktor yang mempengaruhi nilai jualan semula untuk panduan anda seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Warna Kereta\n\n\nSecara amnya, warna kereta boleh mempengaruhi nilai jualan semula kereta anda. Dalam erti kata lain, citarasa pembeli yang berbeza dengan anda boleh menyebabkan harga jualan kereta anda lebih rendah berbanding warna kereta popular. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk membeli kereta dalam warna-warna asas seperti putih, hitam, kelabu atau perak untuk mengelakkan nilai jualan semula yang lebih rendah. Malah, kereta dalam variasi warna metalik cenderung untuk memiliki \nresale value\n yang lebih tinggi berbanding warna-warna lain.\n\n\nSelain itu, warna-warna lain seperti hijau, emas, merah hati atau ungu boleh dikatakan bukan dalam kategori spektrum warna popular. Warna-warna sebegini biasanya tidak mendapat permintaan yang tinggi dalam pasaran terutamanya pasaran \nkereta terpakai\n. Berdasarkan data daripada CARSOME Insights, warna akromatik (putih dan perak) merupakan warna kereta paling popular bagi tahun 2020 di Malaysia, diikuti dengan warna hitam, kelabu dan biru.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nApakah Warna Kereta Paling Popular di Malaysia?\n\n\n2. Jenama dan Model\n\n\nSelain itu, reputasi model dan jenama tertentu turut mempengaruhi nilai jualan semula kereta. Di Malaysia, model kereta daripada jenama dengan reputasi yang baik seperti \nPerodua\n, \nHonda\n dan \nToyota\n \nmemiliki \nresale value\n yang tinggi berbanding model jenama-jenama lain seperti \nBMW\n, \nVolvo\n, Lexus,\n Proton\n, \nNissan\n,\n Mazda\n, \nHyundai\n dan \nPeugeout\n. Model-model ini dikatakan mempunyai kos penyelenggaraan yang lebih tinggi (contohnya, alat ganti yang lebih mahal dan sukar diperoleh) sekali gus mempengaruhi permintaan jualan yang lebih rendah dalam pasaran.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nApakah Jenama dan Model Kereta Paling Popular di Malaysia?\n\n\n3. Keadaan Dalaman dan Luaran Kereta\n\n\nKebanyakan pembeli turut mempertimbangkan faktor keadaan dalaman dan luaran sesebuah kenderaan yang ingin dibeli. Keadaan dalaman dan luaran yang baik menandakan pemilik sebelum ini mementingkan aspek penjagaan dan penyelenggaraan. Jika ruang dalaman kereta berada dalam keadaan baik tanpa sebarang kerosakan, semakin tinggi\n resale value\n kereta anda. Meskipun kesan calar atau kemik tidak menjejaskan prestasi keseluruhan kereta, namun bagi sesetengah pembeli, kecacatan pada kereta ini mungkin menjejaskan nilai kosmetik atau estetika sesebuah kereta.\n\n\nMalah dalam kes tertentu, \ncalar atau kemik\n \nboleh menyebabkan karat atau kerosakan pada badan kenderaan sekali gus akan mempengaruhi harga jualan kereta. Ini kerana, pembeli kereta perlu mempertimbangkan kos pembaikan tambahan yang perlu ditanggung.\n\n\n4. \nMileage\n atau Perbatuan\n\n\nKenderaan yang kerap digunakan dan memiliki jarak tempuh yang tinggi biasanya memiliki \nresale value\n yang lebih rendah. Semakin tinggi mileage kereta, semakin banyak komponen kereta atau kos penyelenggaraan yang bakal ditanggung oleh pemilik baharu.\u00a0Bacaan \nmileage\n yang tinggi secara tidak langsung boleh menyebabkan peningkatan kos yang tinggi untuk penyelenggaraan seperti penggantian tayar kereta haus, \nkerosakan pada \nabsorber\n, pad brek dan sebagainya.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nTip Meminimumkan Kadar Susut Nilai\n\n\n5. Rekod, Kos Penyelenggaraan dan Alat Ganti\n\n\nKereta yang melalui proses \npenyelenggaraan secara berkala\n terutamanya di pusat servis atau ejen berdaftar biasanya menarik minat pembeli untuk menawarkan nilai yang lebih tinggi berbanding biasa. Biasanya, kereta yang diselenggara di pusat servis berdaftar mempunyai rekod di dalam sistem sekali gus memudahkan bakal pembeli untuk menyemak sama ada rekod penyelenggaraan adalah benar seperti yang dinyatakan. Selain itu, ia turut membuktikan penggunaan alat ganti yang tulen dan berkualiti.\n\n\nKos penyelenggaraan dan ketersediaan alat ganti yang murah di pasaran juga mempengaruhi \nresale value\n semasa kereta anda. Dalam erti kata lain, akses mudah kepada alat ganti di pasaran sedikit sebanyak meningkatkan nilai jualan semula kereta. Model Perodua merupakan salah satu model popular dengan \nresale value tinggi\n disebabkan oleh kos dan ketersediaan alat ganti yang lebih murah dan mudah untuk diperoleh.\n\n\n6. Usia Kereta\n\n\nSelain itu, usia kereta juga merupakan antara perkara yang akan dipertimbangkan semasa urusan \njual beli kereta\n anda. Biasanya, kereta model lama yang lebih berusia mempunyai nilai jualan yang lebih rendah berbanding kereta model terkini. Berbeza dengan kereta antik atau koleksi edisi terhad, kereta jenis ini biasanya mempunyai kadar susut nilai yang lebih rendah. Malah dalam sesetengah kes, nilai semasa kereta jenis ini boleh meningkat disebabkan permintaan yang tinggi dalam pasaran.\n\n\nSelain itu, usia kereta juga turut mempengaruhi urusan-urusan lain berkaitan\n pinjaman atau \nloan\n bank\n. Bank biasanya menawarkan kadar faedah yang lebih tinggi dan margin yang lebih rendah untuk kereta yang lebih berusia.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nMasa Paling Berbaloi dan Terbaik untuk Jual Kereta Lama\n\n\n7. Pengubahsuaian atau Modifikasi Kenderaan\n\n\nMeskipun dalam sesetengah situasi pengubahsuaian kereta boleh meningkatkan nilai jualan semula, namun ia tidak bermaksud pengubahsuaian tidak memberi kesan negatif terhadap nilai jualan semula kenderaan. Biasanya, pengubahsuaian melibatkan tempat duduk (naik taraf ke tempat duduk kulit), penambahan teknologi keselamatan terkini meningkatkan nilai jualan semula kereta.\n\n\nNamun begitu, kereta dengan pengubahsuaian berlebihan seperti kereta direndahkan sehingga menyukarkan pemanduan di kawasan berbonggol, penggunaan lampu neon dan lain-lain biasanya menyebabkan nilai jualan semula jatuh dengan ketara.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nTip Pengubahsuaian atau Modifikasi Kereta\n\n\n8. Penjimatan Bahan Api\n\n\nTurun naik\n harga pasaran minyak atau bahan api\n \njuga turut mempengaruhi nilai jualan semula kereta anda. Kereta dengan penjimatan bahan api yang optimum biasanya menawarkan \nresale value\nyang lebih tinggi berbanding model kereta yang tidak cekap penggunaan bahan api. Jika dilihat dalam pasaran kereta terpakai buat masa ini, \nmodel Myvi terpakai \ndijual pada harga yang tinggi, malah dalam sesetengah situasi tiada perbezaan harga yang ketara berbanding model Myvi baharu.\n\n\nPenggunaan bahan api yang rendah secara tidak langsung menjadikan model Myvi terpakai antara pilihan utama pengguna sekali gus menjadikan kadar susut nilainya lebih rendah berbanding model-model lain di pasaran.\n\n\n9. Populariti\n\n\nSelain itu, kuantiti unit terjual juga turut mempengaruhi nilai jualan semula sesebuah model kenderaan. Perodua Myvi merupakan kenderaan paling laris di Malaysia sejak 2006 dan mencatatkan kadar susut nilai yang lebih rendah berbanding model lain di pasaran. Semakin laris sesebuah model kenderaan, semakin tinggi \nresale value\n sesebuah kenderaan. Selain itu, populariti sesebuah model kenderaan juga bergantung pada faktor demografik sesuatu kawasan sekali gus memberi kesan terhadap \nresale value\n sesebuah kenderaan.\n\n\nTrak atau SUV lebih laris dijual di Sabah atau Sarawak, manakala model kompak atau sedan lebih laris di kawasan bandar. Kereta mewah atau \nsport\n pula kurang laris di kawasan pedalaman. Dalam konteks sebegini, ia semestinya melibatkan faktor pilihan pengguna atau persepsi \u2013 contohnya, penduduk di bahagian bandar memilih kereta yang lebih kecil atau kereta kompak disebabkan oleh faktor penjimatan minyak, ruang tempat letak kereta yang sempit dan sebagainya.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \n5 Model SUV Paling Laris di Malaysia\n\n\n10. \nTrend\n Semasa\n\n\nNilai jualan semula turut dipengaruhi oleh\n trend\n pengguna semasa \u2013 semakin tinggi permintaan sesebuah model kereta baharu di pasaran, semakin tinggi harga pasaran kereta terpakai model tersebut. Namun begitu,\n trend\n ini biasanya tidak tetap dan boleh berubah mengikut keadaan. Sebagai contoh, \ntrend\n SUV popular di Malaysia ketika ini. Namun ia tidak bermaksud\n trend\n ini kekal dan tidak berubah. Populariti SUV boleh beralih kepada model jenis lain pada bila-bila masa dan peralihan kepada model jenis lain ini berpotensi untuk menyusutkan nilai jualan semula kereta anda.\n\n\n7 Model Kereta dengan \n\u2018Resale Value\u2019 \nTinggi Selepas 5 Tahun di Malaysia\u00a0\n\n\nPasaran kereta terpakai di Malaysia kian berkembang dari semasa ke semasa.

Namun begitu, kereta \nsport\n dengan transmisi manual menawarkan nilai jualan semua yang lebih tinggi.

Berdasarkan statistik, \nNorway\n mempunyai paling ramai pengguna kereta elektrik per kapita iaitu sebanyak 55 kereta elektrik bagi setiap 1,000 orang penduduk pada 2018. Kadar per kapita yang tinggi ini didorong oleh polisi kerajaan yang mengalakkan penggunaan kereta elektrik dalam kalangan penduduknya menjelang 2025. Norway memberi pengecualian cukai import yang sangat tinggi selain mengecualikan caj pembayaran tol dan \nparking\n kereta\n. Selain itu, negara ini turut membenarkan penggunaan laluan bas oleh pemilik kereta elektrik.\n\n\nSelain Norway, pengeluar automotif tempatan China seperti BAIC, Geely, \nNIO\n juga semakin aktif melancarkan kereta elektrik tempatan. Persaingan antara pengeluar automotif tempatan ini secara tidak langsung menawarkan lebih banyak pilihan kereta elektrik yang lebih murah dan berbaloi kepada pengguna. Berbanding negara-negara lain, Malaysia boleh dikatakan agak ketinggalan dalam pasaran kereta elektrik.

Walau bagaimanapun, perlu diingati bahawa promosi ini akan tamat pada 30 April 2022 \u2013 jadi jangan lepaskan peluang ini!\n\n\nMasih tidak pasti apa yang perlu anda lakukan untuk menaik taraf kereta anda? Untuk menghilangkan keraguan anda dan membantu anda membuat keputusan, berikut adalah beberapa tip untuk anda.\n\n\nSenaraikan Keperluan Hidup Anda\n\n\nMemilih kereta bukanlah satu keputusan yang boleh dibuat mengikut perasaan kerana kemungkinan besar anda akan menggunakan kereta yang sama untuk beberapa tahun yang akan datang. Untuk memudahkan anda, tulis jawapan anda bagi soalan-soalan berikut.\n\n\n\n\nBerapa lamakah anda merancang untuk menggunakan kereta ini?\n\n\nAdakah anda sering membuat perjalanan yang jauh?\n\n\nApakah purata jarak perbatuan anda setiap bulan dan bagaimanakah keadaan lalu lintas di laluan yang biasa anda gunakan?\n\n\nBerapakah bilangan maksimum penumpang kereta anda?\n\n\nAdakah anda merancang untuk berkeluarga dalam tempoh beberapa tahun akan datang? Sekiranya ya, berapa orang anak yang anda inginkan?\n\n\nApakah ciri-ciri yang perlu ada pada kereta anda?\n\n\nApakah jumlah maksimum barangan yang ingin dimuatkan dalam but kereta anda?\n\n\n\n\nDengan menjawab soalan berikut, anda boleh mengecilkan skop pencarian anda dengan memahami keperluan anda untuk memiliki sebuah kereta.\n\n\nSebagai contoh, jika anda merancang untuk mempunyai anak dalam masa tiga tahun akan datang dan anda berhasrat menggunakan kereta ini selama enam tahun, mungkin anda memerlukan kereta yang lebih besar seperti kenderaan pelbagai guna (MPV) atau kenderaan utiliti lasak (SUV) untuk memastikan keselesaan keluarga anda.\n\n\nJom Buat Bajet\n\n\nDari segi kewangan, kereta memakan belanja yang banyak. Oleh itu, anda perlu membahagikan bajet anda. Berikut adalah beberapa cara mudah untuk menentukan bajet anda.\n\n\n\n\nMasukkan ke dalam bajet bulanan anda: \nKebanyakan pembeli kereta akan memilih untuk mengambil pinjaman kereta yang bermakna amaun pembayaran balik pinjaman tersebut akan ditambah kepada komitmen kewangan bulanan anda. Oleh itu, senaraikan komitmen bulanan anda untuk mengetahui sekiranya anda boleh menampung kos tersebut.\n\n\nKaedah bajet 50/30/20: \nKaedah bajet 50/30/20 adalah satu peraturan belanjawan yang sangat bagus untuk diguna pakai. Kaedah ini secara dasarnya meletakkan keperluan anda (bayaran kereta, utiliti, pinjaman) sebagai 50 peratus daripada pendapatan bulanan anda, manakala 30 peratus adalah diperuntukkan bagi kehendak anda (membeli-belah, makan) dan 20 peratus lagi adalah simpanan anda.\n\n\nBayaran pendahuluan:\n Satu lagi faktor yang perlu dipertimbangkan ialah bayaran pendahuluan sebanyak 10 peratus yang perlu dibayar untuk membeli kereta tersebut. Sekiranya anda menukar beli kereta anda, anda boleh mengimbangi jumlah keseluruhan kos kereta yang anda ingin beli dengan menggunakan wang hasil tukar beli kereta untuk menjelaskan bayaran pendahuluan.\n\n\nTempoh pinjaman kereta anda\n: Bagi pinjaman kereta di Malaysia, anda boleh memanjangkan tempohnya sehingga sembilan tahun. Tetapi, tempoh pinjaman kereta yang lebih panjang bermakna anda perlu menanggung faedah yang lebih tinggi, dan oleh kerana nilai kereta anda akan menyusut, anda mungkin membayar lebih daripada nilai kereta anda. Oleh itu, jika anda mampu menampung tempoh pinjaman yang lebih pendek, itu adalah lebih baik.\n\n\n\n\nCari Jenis Kereta yang Sesuai untuk Anda\n\n\nSelepas mengenal pasti keperluan anda dan juga bajet yang bersesuaian, anda boleh mula memilih jenis kereta sebelum anda meninjau jenama kereta yang anda mahukan. Berikut adalah empat jenis kereta biasa untuk pilihan anda.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMPV\n: MPV merupakan pilihan popular bagi keluarga di Malaysia kerana ia mempunyai ruang yang banyak untuk menyimpan barang, sama ada di dalam but atau di bawah tempat duduk. Bagaimanapun, ruang yang luas ini biasanya datang dengan binaan kereta yang besar dan bersegi. MPV yang popular di Malaysia antaranya adalah \nNissan Grand Livina\n dan \nPerodua Alza\n.\n\n\nKenderaan Utiliti Lasak (SUV)\n: SUV juga terkenal dengan ruang yang luas dan juga terdapat model yang didatangkan dengan tujuh tempat duduk. Bagaimanapun, SUV lebih sesuai untuk kegunaan lasak kerana ia mempunyai kemampuan pacuan empat roda. Antara SUV yang popular di Malaysia adalah \nHonda BR-V\n dan \nProton X70\n.\n\n\nSedan\n: Kereta jenis sedan adalah pilihan yang paling popular kerana binaannya yang kompak yang dapat memuatkan sehingga lima orang di dalamnya. Sedan bukan sahaja bagus dari segi ekonomi bahan api, tetapi juga prestasi pemanduan, ciri-ciri keselamatan dan pengendalian. Kenderaan kompak ini boleh dikendalikan dengan lebih mudah di selekoh, serta senang untuk membelok dan memasuki tempat letak kereta berbanding model kereta yang lebih besar. Bagaimanapun, ruang but mungkin terhad kepada satu ruang kecil di antara jarak roda, bergantung kepada model kereta. Antara kereta sedan yang popular di Malaysia termasuklah \nHonda City\n dan \nPerodua Bezza\n.\n\n\nHatchback\n: Ada kalanya, kereta jenis hatchback adalah lebih besar daripada sedan. Perbezaan utama antara kedua-dua jenis kereta ini ialah badan kereta yang mencerun ke bawah pada bahagan hadapan dan bahagian belakang pula dinaikkan untuk memberikan ruang simpanan barang. Tempat duduk penumpang bagi model-model tertentu mungkin agak kecil, lebih-lebih lagi untuk keluarga yang mempunyai lebih daripada dua orang anak. Namun begitu, hatchback merupakan pilihan yang baik sebagai kereta pertama anda dan juga untuk kegunaan di bandar.

The air pollution here is so bad that it is resulting in adverse health consequences. The three main sources of the air pollution here are nasty emission from vehicles in the city, open burning, and haze in the rural and border areas as well as industrial discharge in areas with lots of factories. An API reading from 0 to 50 is good while 51 to 100 is moderate, 101 to 200 is unhealthy, 201 to 300 very unhealthy, and 301 and above is deemed hazardous. The highest API reading recorded in Malaysia was in 1997 when Kuching encountered an API reading of 860, leading to a state of emergency which was declared for 10 days due to the very bad condition of haze. \n\n\nDo you know, Kuala Lumpur was ranked the seventh most polluted city in the world, according to Switzerland-based pollution mapping service AirVisual? T\nhis is where cabin air filters and car air purifiers come in helpful when travelling in a car in Malaysia.\n\n\nNote : You can check Malaysia\u2019s daily API readings \nhere\n.\n\n\nWhat Are Cabin Air Filters?\n\n\n\n\nCommonly confused with the engine air filter, the cabin air filter is an especially important car part that filters the air flowing from outside the vehicle into the car cabin through the air conditioning system. It not only improves the air quality you breathe in your car but also simultaneously increases hygiene in the car itself.\n In a much simpler term, cabin air filters work as a mask for your car as it stops any nasty pollutants from entering your car and infecting you and your loved ones.\n\n\nAccording to studies, in-car air quality can be up to 15 times more polluted than the air outside the car. \nAnd once it is inside the car, it is surely entering your lungs. Cabin air filters should also be changed regularly for it to work efficiently. As these filters are the one that stops the exterior air of the road from entering the interior air of your car and block a lot of smog and dirty exhaust let out by other vehicles on the road, constantly changing out this filter stops these pollutants from making its way into the car\u2019s cabin and into your lungs.\n\n\nWhat are Air Purifiers?\n\n\nA car air purifier works the same way a home purifier works. It purifies the air in your car and gets rid of all the pollutants in your vehicle. It fills the interior with negative ions that traps and eliminates any type of pollutants in your car including dust, pollen, bacteria, viruses, formaldehyde and even cigarette smoke.\n\n\n\n\nDifferent Types of Car Air Purifiers\n\n\nHEPA\n \u2013 HEPA air purifier systems pass air through small physical filters that collect dust, allergens, pet dander, and most other airborne contaminants. After circulating through the system, it pushes out the clean air. With a HEPA system, you would have to change the filter occasionally for it to work effectively.\n\n\nIonizers\n \u2013 Ionic air purifiers release electrically charged ions that stick themselves to particles within your car and make them too heavy to keep floating around. With ionic systems, you will notice you\u2019ll probably have to vacuum a little bit more often. Once the particles drop from the weight of the ions, they have to go somewhere and that is usually inside your car floor, walls or plate inside the purifier.\u00a0\n\n\nBenefits of Using Air Purifiers\n\n\nReduce air particles and allergens \u2013 \nThe main goal of an air purifier is to make the air you breathe in your car healthy and clean. Most systems that you buy are said to clean the air by 99.9%.\n\n\nMake breathing easier \u2013 \nPeople with respiratory problems, such as chronic bronchitis or asthma, will notice a difference in the quality of air inside their vehicle. But you do not need to have a breathing disease to know when your car has clean air, and your lungs will thank you for it.\n\n\nReduce bacteria \u2013 \nAre you constantly falling sick, just one time after another? You may never think your car would have something to do with it. If so, you would be wrong. Since you spend the most of your time in a car, you are definitely inhaling lots of nasties into your lungs.\u00a0 That is a lot of build-up of bacteria if you do not give your car a regular cleaning.\u00a0\n\n\nReduce odor \u2013 \nMost car air purifiers have been shown to reduce cigarette odors, pet odors, food odors, new car smell, etc. Ionic purifiers have shown the most improvement in odor elimination versus the HEPA systems.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nIn conclusion, to keep your lungs healthy, constantly changing out your cabin air filters or investing in a proper air purifier system to keep the air in your car clean and safe.

Faktor-faktor seperti berat kenderaan, jenis laluan dan tabiat pemanduan boleh mempengaruhi penggunaan bahan api sekali gus meningkatkan perbelanjaan anda.\n\n\nKetahui cara pemanduan yang boleh mempengaruhi penggunaan bahan api anda, kaedah penjimatan yang boleh anda lakukan untuk mengurangkan perbelanjaan, masa dan penggunaan petrol anda. Carsome menyenaraikan tujuh (7) tabiat pemanduan berikut untuk panduan anda:\n\n\n1. Berat Berlebihan\n\n\nMuatan kereta berlebihan yang tidak dikeluarkan daripada kereta seperti kasut, basikal, alatan peribadi yang bersaiz besar boleh menyebabkan kereta menjadi lebih berat berbanding biasa. Muatan kereta yang berat berpotensi meningkatkan penggunaan bahan api kerana enjin perlu bekerja lebih keras untuk bergerak. Elakkan daripada menyimpan terlalu banyak barangan dalam ruang simpanan atau tempat duduk belakang, atau keluarkan jika tidak diperlukan untuk memaksimumkan ekonomi bahan bakar.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n 9 Item Penting Kenderaan Yang Anda Perlu Ada\n\n\n2. Pemanduan Jarak Dekat\n\n\nJarak pemanduan boleh mempengaruhi penggunaan bahan api anda. Sekiranya anda melakukan perjalanan pendek, kereta anda tidak mempunyai masa yang mencukupi untuk pemanasan sepenuhnya. Selain itu, proses menghidupkan enjin dan memanaskan enjin juga memakan sebahagian besar petrol. Untuk elakkan pembaziran bahan api sebegini daripada berlaku, lakukan semua urusan perkara sekali gus dalam satu perjalanan pergi balik untuk memaksimumkan kecekapan bahan api.\n\n\n3. Laluan Pemanduan Berbukit, Tidak Rata\n\n\nMemandu di jalan raya yang berbatu, berbukit atau tidak rata boleh menyebabkan penggunaan bahan api meningkat lebih tinggi berbanding penggunaan laluan biasa. Laluan jalan sebegini meningkatkan rintangan sekali gus menyebabkan kenderaan memerlukan lebih banyak tenaga untuk bergerak.\n\n\n4. Kesesakan Lalu Lintas\n\n\nKesesakan lalu lintas membawa kesan buruk kepada enjin dan ekonomi bahan bakar anda. Penggunaan brek, pedal minyak (situasi biasa dalam kesesakan) boleh menyebabkan tangki minyak anda surut lebih cepat berbanding biasa. Elakkan situasi ini dengan menggunakan perkhidmatan pengangkutan awam atau rancang waktu dan laluan perjalanan dengan lebih baik.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nBalik Kampung Minggu Ini? Ini Tip Penting untuk Pemanduan Selamat!\n\n\n5. Kelajuan yang Tinggi\n\n\nSelain itu, pemanduan yang agresif pada kelajuan yang tinggi juga mempercepatkan penggunaan bahan bakar kereta anda. Kajian menunjukkan penggunaan brek yang kerap, pemanduan pada kelajuan yang tinggi mengurangkan ekonomi bahan bakar sebanyak 33 peratus. Semakin laju pecutan kereta anda, semakin cepat pembakaran bahan api. Jika anda memandu dengan kelajuan 80 km/j atau lebih, kadar rintangan udara menjadi lebih tinggi sekali gus meningkatkan penggunaan bahan api.\n\n\n6. Tingkap Kereta Diturunkan\n\n\nSecara amnya, menurunkan tingkap kereta semasa pemanduan tidaklah memberi kesan yang signifikan dalam kelajuan perlahan. Namun, dalam situasi kelajuan yang tinggi, pemanduan dengan tingkap kereta diturunkan akan meningkatkan rintangan angin sekali gus menyebabkan kereta menggunakan lebih tenaga untuk bergerak. Oleh itu, elakkan menurunkan tingkap kereta semasa pemanduan laju untuk mengelakkan penggunaan bahan api yang tinggi.\n\n\n7. Aspek Penyelenggaraan\n\n\nAspek penyelenggaraan merupakan antara perkara yang perlu diberi perhatian untuk mengurangkan perbelanjaan bahan api. Sebagai contoh, \npenapis udara kereta\n yang tersumbat boleh menjejaskan sistem, mempengaruhi prestasi enjin dan meningkatkan penggunaan bahan bakar. Selain itu, sekiranya tayar kenderaan mulai haus atau tidak sekata, ia juga sedikit-sebanyak mengurangkan jarak tempuh bahan api anda. Oleh itu, pastikan tekanan angin tayar berada dalam keadaan baik, gantikan tayar yang telah haus dan periksa penjajaran atau\n aligment\n kereta jika perlu.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nCara Penjagaan, Tip Beli Tayar Kereta yang Terbaik dan Selamat di Malaysia\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda sedang mempertimbangkan untuk \nmenjual kereta lama\n \ndan berminat untuk mendapatkan \nkereta terpakai baharu\n, layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

Meski kita dah berhati-hati, masih akan ada risiko untuk kita dilanggar atau pun melanggar.\u00a0\n\n\nKebiasaannya, yang melanggar itu yang salah. Tapi akan ada beberapa keadaan yang kereta yang dilanggar itu sebenarnya salah dan yang melanggar itu cumalah mangsa keadaan. Macam mana boleh jadi macam ni?\u00a0\n\n\nKalau kereta yang dilanggar itu melakukan kesalahan seperti memandu melulu tanpa memberikan isyarat. Faktor ini boleh mempengaruhi bayaran ganti rugi yang terpaksa dibayar oleh yang melanggar.\u00a0\n\n\nSebab itulah pentingnya dashcam kereta. Supaya kita boleh terselamat dalam situasi sebegini dan anda akan terlindung sekiranya anda cuma mangsa keadaan.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \n4 Jenama Dashcam Terbaik di Malaysia & Cara Untuk Pilih Yang Sesuai Untuk Anda\n\n\nJadi, kalau anda yang menjadi mangsa perlanggaran, apa nak kena buat?\u00a0\n\n\nJangan Panik\n\n\nDalam apa saja perkara yang anda buat, walau apapun yang berlaku, jangan sesekali panik. Walaupun anda yang menjadi mangsa, jangan sesekali panik. Panik hanya akan menyebabkan badan kita tidak berfungsi dengan betul dan membuat pertimbangan yang salah.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKerana itulah banyak kes orang pukul orang hanya kerana terlanggar sedikit keretanya. Kalau anda mula panik, orang yang melanggar anda pun akan ikut panik juga. Akhirnya? Tiada solusi yang terbaik boleh diusahakan.\u00a0\n\n\nKekal Tenang Dan Jangan Mulakan Konfrontasi\u00a0\n\n\nKenderaan anda baru dilanggar. Ya, anda berhak untuk marah. Tapi marah saja takkan boleh selesaikan masalah yang dah pun terjadi. Kereta anda dah pun kemik. Marah takkan baiki kerosakan yang ada.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau kemalangan terjadi di tengah jalan, cuba usahakan untuk alihkan kenderaan ke tepi jalan. Kalau tak boleh, cuba berbincang dengan berhati-hati dan sentiasa perhatikan trafik yang datang.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nTakut Kena Buli? Ini Cara Untuk Berdepan Dengan Pembuli Jalan Raya\n\n\nKeluar daripada kenderaan dengan tenang dan pergi bersemuka dengan orang yang melanggar anda. Jangan bawa apa-apa seperti kunci stereng. Nanti anda dianggap nak menyerang pula. Anda tak nak bermalam dalam lokap polis disebabkan ini.\u00a0\n\n\nBerbincanglah dengan beradab walaupun kita yang menjadi mangsa.\u00a0 Kekal tenang supaya satu solusi boleh dicapai.\u00a0\n\n\nAmbil Gambar\u00a0\n\n\nKeluarkan telefon anda dan ambil gambar kemalangan yang dah terjadi sebagai bukti. Pastikan gambar yang diambil jelas dan menampakkan situasi yang terjadi:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGambar jarak dekat yang menampakkan kerosakan pada kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\nGambar jarak jauh yang menampakkan pelanggaran yang telah terjadi. Pastikan kedua-dua kereta ada dalam gambar.\u00a0\n\n\nCukai jalan. Ini yang orang selalu lupa disebabkan panik. Gambar cukai jalan si pelanggar untuk bukti. Kalau si pelanggar tiada cukai jalan, anggap sajalah anda dah menang kes ini.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u2018Settle Luar\u2019 atau Laporkan Kepada Polis?\u00a0\n\n\nIni yang selalu orang ramai keliru dan tak tahu nak pilih yang mana satu. Sama ada nak selesaikan di situ juga ataupun melibatkan polis dan juga insurans. Sebenarnya, ia bergantung kepada siapa yang melanggar anda dan juga tahap kerosakan kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n Kalau kerosakan kereta anda setakat kemik yang tak menjejaskan kereta, boleh saja anda nak selesaikan di situ juga. Nak lebih mudah, bawa kereta anda dan si pelanggar ke bengkel terdekat supaya mekanik boleh buat anggaran kerosakan dan anda boleh buat tuntutan terus daripada si pelanggar. \n\u00a0Kalau si pelanggar sanggup nak bayar kerosakan, bagus untuk anda. Anda tak perlu lagi nak pergi ke balai polis untuk buat laporan. Anda juga tak perlu berurusan dengan pihak insurans.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Kalau kerosakan yang terjadi menyebabkan kereta langsung tak boleh nak gerak, anda hubungi insurans untuk hantarkan trak tunda. Jangan gunakan servis longkai! Minta trak tunda untuk tunda hingga ke balai polis untuk dibuat laporan bagi tujuan tuntutan insurans.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nNak lebih terjamin dan selamat, tanpa mengambil kira tahap kerosakan, buat laporan polis adalah pilihan terbaik untuk anda dan si pelanggar. Pergi ke balai polis terdekat. Buat laporan dan seorang pegawai penyiasat akan mengambil kes anda untuk penilaian dan penyiasatan.\u00a0\n\n\nSiasatan Polis\n\n\nLaporan polis ini wajib dibuat oleh kedua-dua yang melanggar dan juga mangsa langgar. Seorang pegawai penyiasat akan ditugaskan untuk mengambil kes anda bagi penilaian dan penyiasatan siapa yang bersalah.\u00a0\n\n\nPegawai penyiasat akan menemu bual anda dan juga si pelanggar. Ceritalah daripada A sampai Z apa yang dah terjadi. Kalau perlu anda lukis, lukislah untuk memberikan gambaran tepat tentang apa yang dah terjadi.\u00a0\n\n\nPegawai penyiasat juga akan memeriksa kenderaan yang terlibat. Selepas sesi temu bual, keputusan siasatan hanya akan diketahui sekitar seminggu hingga dua minggu.\u00a0\n\n\nSelepas selesai, jangan lupa minta salinan laporan daripada balai dan pastikan salinan itu telah diakui sah oleh mana-mana pegawai.\u00a0\n\n\nAyuh Ke Bengkel!\u00a0\n\n\nDah selesai urusan di balai, masanya untuk bawa kereta anda ke bengkel. Nak pilih bengkel yang mana? Mana-mana bengkel panel untuk insurans kereta anda. Kalau tak tahu, hubungi syarikat insurans anda untuk bantuan mencari bengkel terdekat.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSekali lagi, bergantung kepada tahap kerosakan dan pukul berapa ketika itu, berkemungkinan kereta anda akan bermalam di bengkel. Seperti biasa, beberapa dokumen diperlukan untuk tujuan tuntutan insurans.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\ni) Salinan kad pengenalan\n\n\nii) Salinan lesen memandu\n\n\n\n\niii) Salinan geran kereta\n\n\niii) Salinan nota perlindungan (\ncover note\n) insurans\n\n\n\n\niv) Salinan laporan polis yang telah diakui sah\n\n\n\n\nKalau orang lain yang menggunakan kereta anda, sertakan sekali salinan kad pengenalan dan lesen memandu pemandu yang terlibat.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nCara Untuk Menuntut Waranti Lanjutan 1 Tahun CARSOME\n\n\nUntuk permulaan, anda mungkin terpaksa menggunakan NCD insurans kereta anda dahulu sebelum boleh dituntut setelah keputusan siasatan keluar. Tapi kalau anda sanggup tunggu sehingga laporan siasatan siap, terpulang pada anda.\u00a0\n\n\nSiapakah Yang Salah?\u00a0\n\n\nKeputusan siasatan biasanya akan keluar dalam masa satu hingga dua minggu. Anda juga boleh membuat susulan untuk siasatan anda daripada pihak polis jika ia mengambil masa terlalu lama.\u00a0\n\n\nLaporan kedua dan ketiga akan dikeluarkan oleh pegawai penyiasat. Jangan lupa dapatkan salinan dan juga pastikan salinan tersebut diakui sah oleh mana-mana pegawai.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nUntuk buat tuntutan semula, anda boleh hubungi pihak insurans dan pihak insurans akan bimbing anda untuk buat tuntutan semula. Pastikan simpan segala macam dokumen yang anda ada termasuklah laporan polis dan juga gambar kemalangan untuk memudahkan proses tuntutan.\u00a0\n\n\nJangan Habiskan NCD Insurans Anda!\u00a0\n\n\nKenapa kami tekankan anda untuk buat laporan polis? Kerana untuk memudahkan anda membaiki kereta anda yang rosak, tanpa perlu menuntut insurans anda sendiri. Kalau anda dah tuntut insurans untuk membaiki kerosakan yang bukan disebabkan anda, anda dah bazirkan NCD insurans kereta anda sendiri.\n\n\nApa itu NCD? NCD atau No-Claim Discount merupakan diskaun yang diberikan oleh syarikat insurans sekiranya anda tidak membuat sebarang tuntutan untuk kerosakan yang berlaku untuk tahun sebelumnya.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda dah buat tuntutan untuk kerosakan yang anda sendiri tak buat, bukan ke anda dah rugi? Anda terpaksa membayar insurans untuk tahun berikutnya lebih mahal. Disebabkan itulah anda jangan jadi terlalu baik kerana ia boleh membebankan anda sendiri!\u00a0\n\n\nApa Nak Buat Kalau Si Pelanggar Tak Bagi Kerjasama?\u00a0\n\n\nKatakanlah yang melanggar anda itu langsung tak memberikan kerjasama kepada anda untuk menyelesaikan perkara ini, apa nak kena buat?\u00a0\n\n\nKalau ini yang berlaku, anda tak perlu takut. Kekal tenang dan jangan termakan dengan provokasi yang dibuat. Paling penting, ambil gambar kejadian untuk bukti. Kalau tak sempat, terus rakam video. Pastikan semua butiran yang disebutkan sebelum ini (nombor plat, cukai jalan, kereta si pelanggar, dan keadaan kereta anda selepas dilanggar) ada dalam video anda.\n\n\n\n\nLangkah yang sama anda boleh ambil. Buat laporan polis dan hantar ke bengkel untuk dibaiki. Anda boleh tunggu keputusan siasatan atau terus pergi ke Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan untuk mengetahui apa syarikat insurans kereta si pelanggar menggunakan video yang anda dah rakam.\n\n\nBawa semua laporan dan bukti kemudian hubungi syarikat insurans anda atau insurans si pelanggar untuk membuat tuntutan semula.\u00a0\n\n\nBenda Boleh \nSettle\n!\u00a0\n\n\nDiharapkan anda boleh tahu apa yang sepatutnya anda buat anda kata anda terlibat dengan kemalangan selepas ini. Yang penting, jangan panik.

Ini Perkara Penting Perlu Tahu Tentang Kereta Lelong", "By\n \nAhmad Azwadie Azman", "15/12/2021", "\n\n\n\n\n", "Pembelian \nkereta terpakai\n \nmelalui sesi lelong kereta merupakan salah satu cara terbaik dan ideal untuk membeli kereta terpakai pada harga yang rendah. Biasanya, pembelian kereta lelong daripada \ndealer\n kereta atau penjual kereta terpakai persendirian ditawarkan pada harga permulaan yang lebih murah. Namun begitu, \ncara beli kereta terpakai\n \nmelalui sesi lelong kereta ini dikatakan lebih berisiko dan pembeli terdedah kepada kerugian luar jangka lain. Ia merupakan pilihan yang terbaik untuk pembeli yang ingin membeli kereta dengan faktor kewangan yang terhad, individu yang tidak layak mendapatkan \nloan\n kereta\n \natau ingin mendapatkan kereta kedua pada harga yang murah.\n\n\n\n\nKereta Lelong: Prosedur Bank Lelong Kereta atau Kereta Lelong JPJ yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\nSecara amnya, kenderaan akan dilelong oleh pihak bank atau pihak JPJ sekiranya pemilik kenderaan gagal menjelaskan hutang pinjaman kereta selepas beberapa bulan. Pihak bank biasanya akan melelong kenderaan anda untuk melangsaikan hutang sedia ada yang tertunggak. Hasil lelongan tersebut akan diserahkan kepada pihak bank dan sebarang lebihan baki (setelah ditolak baki hutang dengan bank) akan diserahkan kepada anda. Namun begitu, terdapat beberapa prosedur tertentu yang perlu dipatuhi sebelum pihak bank boleh menarik kereta dan melelong kereta:\n\n\n1. Notis Jadual Keempat\n\n\nSecara amnya, Notis Prapenarikan Kereta atau Notis Jadual Keempat akan dihantar kepada pemilik kereta dan penjamin sekiranya pemilik gagal menjelaskan bayaran balik pinjaman kereta. Notis pertama ini akan dihantar sebagai amaran bahawa pihak bank berhasrat untuk menarik kereta dan memberi tempoh selama 21 hari kepada pemilik untuk melakukan tindakan sewajarnya. Selepas notis pertama, pihak bank akan mengeluarkan notis kedua biasanya selepas 14 hari notis pertama dikeluarkan.\n\n\n2. Penarikan Kereta\n\n\nSelepas 21 hari penerimaan Notis Jadual Keempat, pihak bank berhak menarik kereta sekiranya pemilik masih gagal menjelaskan baki hutang pinjaman yang tertunggak. Namun begitu, pihak bank tidak boleh menarik kereta jika:\n\n\n\n\nPemilik telah membayar lebih daripada 75 peratus daripada keseluruhan pinjaman kecuali dengan surat dan kebenaran daripada mahkamah;\n\n\nKenderaan berada dalam kawasan kediaman berpagar;\n\n\nPenarikan dilakukan pada hari cuti umum atau selepas jam 9 malam;\n\n\nEjen penarik kereta perlu memiliki kad autoriti Ejen Perolehan Semula (EPS) daripada KPDNKK. JIka ejen penarik kereta hadir lebih dari seorang, kesemua daripada mereka perlu menunjukkan kad tersebut. Jika gagal, pemilik boleh membuat laporan polis ke atas ejen penarik kereta.\n\n\n\n\n3. Notis Pemberitahuan Selepas Penarikan Kereta\n\n\nSelepas kereta berjaya ditarik, pihak bank biasanya akan menghantar notis pemberitahuan kepada pemilik memaklumkan bahawa mereka berjaya memperoleh kereta tersebut. Pemilik juga akan menerima Notis Jadual Kelima yang menyatakan jumlah yang perlu dibayar termasuk amaun yang perlu dilangsaikan (termasuk yuran dan caj tambahan lain daripada pihak bank).\n\n\n4. Notis Pelupusan Kereta\n\n\nSekiranya pemilik masih lagi gagal menjelaskan baki hutang pinjaman yang tertunggak selepas 21 hari penerimaan Notis Jadual Kelima, pemilik akan menerima notis pelupusan kenderaan. Biasanya, proses pelupusan kereta akan dilakukan secara lelong atau melalui jualan persendirian.\n\n\n5. Bank Lelong Kereta\n\n\nBiasanya, pihak bank akan lelong kereta selepas 14 hari notis pelupusan kenderaan diterima oleh pemilik. Harga kereta lelong biasanya ditawarkan pada harga permulaan yang lebih rendah berbanding nilai pasaran semasa. Hasil daripada jualan lelong ini akan digunakan untuk membayar tunggakan baki hutang pinjaman dengan pihak bank. Jika ada lebihan, wang akan diserahkan kepada pemilik. Namun jika hasil jualan lelong masih tidak mencukupi, pemilik perlu melunaskan baki hutang tersebut.\n\n\n\n\nRisiko Beli Kereta Lelong yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\nBaru-baru ini,\n hasrat tiga beradik\n untuk memiliki kereta terpakai yang bakal dilelong oleh Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) pada harga murah musnah apabila ditipu oleh seorang wanita yang menyamar sebagai pegawai JPJ. Wanita itu mendakwa terdapat pelbagai jenis kereta bakal dilelong dengan pelbagai tawaran harga dan mangsa diarahkan untuk memasukkan sejumlah wang ke dalam akaun peribadi bagi tujuan tempahan.\u00a0Carsome menyenaraikan empat (4) risiko pembelian kereta lelong untuk panduan dan rujukan anda seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Tiada Waranti, Dijual \u2018Seadanya\u2019\n\n\nKereta lelong biasanya dijual tanpa sebarang waranti atau jaminan kualiti tidak seperti kebanyakan kereta baharu atau kereta terpakai yang dijual melalui \npengedar kereta terpakai\n. Anda perlu menanggung semua kos pembaikan dan penyelenggaraan sebaik sahaja anda menandatangani surat perjanjian kereta anda. Ini bermaksud, jika berlaku sebarang kerosakan seperti\n kereta tiba-tiba rosak\n atau tayar kereta tercabut semasa memandu pulang, anda mungkin tidak dapat melakukan sebarang tuntutan.\n\n\nSelain itu, kereta lelong biasanya dijual \u2018seadanya\u2019 atau\n as is\n. Oleh sebab itu, pembelian kereta lelong biasanya terdedah kepada risiko yang lebih tinggi. Ini kerana, kereta tidak boleh dipandu uji dan tiada jaminan waranti daripada penjual. Jika anda mendapati sebarang kerosakan selepas membeli kereta lelong, anda tiada jalan lain selain bertanggungjawab sepenuhnya terhadap kereta yang dibeli.\n\n\n2. Nilai Bidaan Lebih Tinggi Berbanding Sepatutnya\n\n\nSecara amnya, situasi semasa pembelian kereta lelong berbeza berbanding pembelian kereta di ruang pameran kereta atau platform jual beli kereta terpakai. Kereta lelong biasanya melalui proses pembidaan yang sangat pantas dan kompetitif. Kebanyakan pembeli kereta lelong mudah terbawa-bawa dengan perasaan, persekitaran dan situasi semasa. Oleh sebab persekitaran yang kompetitif, adakalanya bakal pembeli cenderung untuk membida harga kereta yang lebih tinggi berbanding nilai pasaran semasa kereta. Ia sekali gus menggagalkan tujuan asal pembelian kereta lelong untuk mendapatkan kereta terpakai pada harga yang lebih murah.\n\n\ni. Lakukan Survei di Internet\n\n\nSebelum anda menyertai proses lelong kereta, ketahui harga pasaran semasa kereta yang ingin dibeli. Anda boleh lakukan carian secara dalam talian untuk mengetahui nilai pasaran semasa kereta anda. Di Malaysia, terdapat beberapa \nplatform jual beli kereta terpakai\n \nyang boleh membantu anda mengetahui nilai pasaran semasa kereta anda untuk mengelakkan anda terlebih bida atau \noverbidding\n.\n\n\nii. Tanyakan kepada Ahli Keluarga, Kenalan\n\n\nProses pembelian kereta lelong merupakan suatu proses yang menakutkan dan memenatkan; pastikan anda kekal fokus dan profesional semasa proses lelong kereta dilakukan. Selain itu, anda disarankan untuk bertanyakan rakan, ahli keluarga bagi mendapatkan gambaran jelas mengenai proses lelong kereta yang akan dilakukan. Dapatkan gambaran awal keadaan kereta yang biasa dibeli melalui proses lelong kereta. Pastikan anda mempunyai semua fakta atau maklumat lengkap sebelum membuat pembelian. Jika tersilap langkah, kos pembaikan yang lebih tinggi atau kerosakan kereta yang serius mungkin menghantui anda.\n\n\niii. Tetapkan Bajet\n\n\nElakkan diri anda daripada terganggu dengan suasana dan persekitaran pembidaan yang kompetitif. Tetapkan amaun harga jualan maksimum yang akan dibida \u2013 pastikan kos yang dibida tidak melebihi harga jualan semasa kereta anda. Tetapkan bajet anda dan kekal tenang untuk mengelakkan anda daripada berbelanja melebihi kemampuan dan nilai pasaran semasa kereta yang ingin dibeli.\n\n\n3. Terdedah Kepada Risiko Penipuan dan Helah Penjual\n\n\nAnda disarankan untuk sentiasa berhati-hati terutamanya jika anda memilih untuk membeli kereta lelong. Lakukan pemeriksaan yang menyeluruh untuk mengenal pasti sama ada \nkereta pernah terlibat kemalangan\n, \nkereta pernah ditenggelami banjir\n atau mengalami apa-apa kerosakan struktur utama. Selain itu, lakukan pemeriksaan nombor VIN kereta. Pastikan nombor pada cermin depan sama dengan nombor VIN pada keseluruhan bahagian kereta yang lain. Periksa juga bahagian dalam kabin dan kenal pasti sama ada terdapat sebarang kesan air, lumpur atau bau hapak. Ia merupakan tanda-tanda biasa kereta tenggelam banjir.\n\n\n4. Kos Pembaikan dan Penyelenggaraan yang Lebih Tinggi\n\n\nJika anda mempunyai peralatan lengkap untuk pembaikan serta kemahiran asas penyelenggaraan automotif, kereta lelong mungkin pilihan yang ideal untuk anda. Namun jika sebaliknya, anda mungkin perlu pertimbangkan kos tambahan yang perlu anda belanjakan untuk kos pembaikan dan penyelenggaraan di bengkel yang mungkin menelan belanja yang lebih tinggi. Ambil kira kos pembaikan biasa bagi model yang anda beli termasuk kos tersembunyi yang mungkin perlu ditanggung. Sebelum membuat pembelian, pastikan anda bersedia untuk menanggung kos tersebut.\n\n\n\n\nBeli Kereta Carsome Certified Untuk Ketenangan Fikiran\n\n\nKonklusinya, pandu uji dan pemeriksaan kereta secara menyeluruh sebelum membeli kereta terpakai merupakan langkah penting yang perlu dilakukan.

Lagipun, kita semua tidak diajar tentang ini di sekolah.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nContoh kesilapan? Perkara seperti berbelanja mewah melebihi kemampuan sama ada membeli-belah sampai tak ingat dunia atau terjebak dalam komitmen kewangan jangka panjang.\u00a0\n\n\nBeringat Sebelum Berbelanja\n\n\nSemestinya, selain daripada pemilikan rumah, kereta juga berada dalam senarai utama komitmen kewangan yang mahal kita ambil dalam kehidupan, lebih-lebih lagi memandangkan kita cenderung untuk membuat membuat pinjaman bagi mendapatkannya.\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSebenarnya, kalau kita tengok pada komitmen sedia ada, kita cenderung untuk menukar kereta lebih kerap berbanding rumah, bertukar sewa beli*. Tak peliklah kalau ada \u2018pakar\u2019 kewangan (yang syok sendiri) menganggapnya sebagai amalan yang kurang bahaya (kepada kewangan kita).\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nCara Mudah Nak Jual Kereta Yang Masih Ada Baki Pinjaman\n\n\nWalau bagaimanapun, selain daripada keperluan berkenderaan dalam kehidupan seharian, kita sebagai manusia biasa tetap ada keinginan dan kemahuan sendiri. Apabila kita terlihat kereta yang kita suka dan terdetik (atau teracun) untuk nak membelinya walaupun kita sendiri sudah memiliki kereta yang sudah memenuhi keperluan, namun percayalah, kita akan terasa \u2018gatal tangan\u2019 nak tandatangan perjanjian sewa beli baharu.\u00a0\n\n\nHati anda kena kuat untuk tak termakan hasutan untuk membeli Proton X50 versi Andalan (Flagship) yang anda sebenarnya mampu dan sebaliknya terus memilih PERODUA Axia E (MT) yang cukup untuk bawa anda daripada titik A ke titik B.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAntara tahun 2013 dan 2017 sahaja, lebih 100,000 warga Malaysia telah diisytiharkan muflis dan 60% daripada mereka berumur antara 18 dan 44 tahun, menurut Buku Maklumat Perangkaan Malaysia 2018.\u00a0\n\n\nKetika itu, jualan kereta di Malaysia ada turun naiknya tetapi tetap konsisten pada antara 550,000 dan 600,000 kenderaan baharu dijual. Kalau diselidiki lebih lagi mendedahkan peningkatan permintaan (dan juga jualan) untuk kereta yang lebih mahal daripada jenama berkelas tinggi seperti Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, dan Porsche untuk model baharu dan juga versi terpakai.\u00a0\n\n\nBiar Papa Asal Bergaya\u00a0\n\n\nDalam tempoh ini juga, Mazda juga boleh dikatakan sangat berjaya dalam pasaran apabila mereka memasarkan kereta yang memenuhi kehendak pasaran massa dengan cita rasa tinggi. Kenapa warga Malaysia berumur bawah 50 tahun lebih cenderung membelanjakan duit mereka pada kereta yang mereka tak perlu dan tak semestinya mampu?\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nAWAS! Hati-hati Dengan Kos Tersembunyi Ini Kalau Anda Nak Beli Kereta Terpakai\n!\n\n\n\n\nMenyokong dakwaan ini ialah laporan daripada Jabatan Insolvensi Negara (MDI) yang menyatakan bahawa menjelang Disember 2018, ada 303,415 kes muflis yang sedang diuruskan secara keseluruhannya. Antara punca utama yang diberitahu oleh Pengarah Jabatan Insolvensi Malaysia, Datuk Anas Ahmad Zakie, pinjaman sewa beli untuk membeli kenderaan berada di tempat kedua pada 24.73 peratus di belakang pinjaman peribadi pada 27.76 peratus kadar muflis.\u00a0\n\n\nDi bawah pimpinan Perdana Menteri Najib Razak pada tahun 2016, sebagai tambahan kepada penggubalan semula Akta Insolvensi, kerajaan telah mengenakan kriteria yang lebih ketat untuk kelulusan pinjaman sewa beli untuk menangani mereka yang ingkar membayar pinjaman yang semakin meningkat.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTetapi, langkah tersebut dilihat tidak berjaya menangani masalah ini dengan baik menyebabkan Menteri Kewangan pada masa itu, Lim Guan Eng mengetengahkan di peringkat awam tentang kadar celik kewangan yang rendah dalam kalangan belia Malaysia.\u00a0\n\n\nPada tahun 2019, panduan Belanjawanku yang dikritik hebat telah dikeluarkan oleh Kumpulan Simpanan Wang Pekerja (KWSP), yang dilihat memberikan pencerahan kepada rakyat untuk merancang kewangan dalam kehidupan melalui merancang dengan cermat segala perbelanjaan bulanan dan masih lagi boleh menyimpan wang untuk waktu kecemasan dan juga simpanan jangka masa panjang.\u00a0\n\n\nTanpa membincangkan maklumat lain untuk kekal relevan, ia meletakkan 17% daripada perbelanjaan bulanan untuk \u2018Pengangkutan\u2019 yang termasuk pengangkutan awam dan juga kenderaan sendiri (termasuk petrol).\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nMana Lagi Jimat: Pandu Sendiri Atau Naik Pengangkutan Awam\n?\n\n\nJangkaan Tak Logik\u00a0\n\n\nKWSP meletakkan pendapatan median untuk individu dewasa bujang secara kasarnya pada RM2,500 hingga RM3,000, bermakna mereka hanya ada antara RM561 hingga RM770 untuk dibelanjakan bagi membeli kereta jika mereka betul-betul memerlukannya beserta kos petrol, penyelenggaraan dan juga tol. Ini pun sebenarnya tak banyak memandangkan pendapatan median pada enam tahun lepas untuk mereka yang tinggal di Lembah Kelang hanyalah RM3,313 seperti yang dikeluarkan oleh Jabatan Perangkaan Malaysia.\u00a0\n\n\nKini, di tahun 2022 (ketika artikel ini ditulis), tak banyak pun perubahan yang berlaku dengan Malaysia masih lagi menunjukkan peningkatan gaji yang (sangat) sedikit, tak selari dengan kadar inflasi. Kereta menjadi lebih mahal dan model yang besar menjadi lebih popular yang\u00a0 juga dijual dengan harga yang lebih mahal.\u00a0\n\n\nTak percaya? Perhatikan saja Proton dan PERODUA, dua model paling popular keluaran mereka ada yang berharga lebih RM90,000 dan model terkini yang diperkenalkan oleh PERODUA \u2013 Ativa, merupakan kenderaan terbesar yang dikeluarkan PERODUA dijual pada harga yang lebih mahal berbanding model sebelumnya.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKita pun sebenarnya patut dipersalahkan juga. Kita sendiri nak ciri canggih yang lagi \u2018berbaloi\u2019 dan mengeluh apabila pengeluar kereta tak memasukkan ciri keselamatan (aktif) yang canggih tetapi kita pula mahukan pelbagai pilihan ketersambungan, telekomunikasi maklumat jarak jauh, pengemudian satelit, pengecasan nirwayar, pembesar suara mewah, dan juga keutamaan memasang bumbung matahari yang mungkin tidak akan digunakan langsung.\u00a0\n\n\nBerita baik (kononnya), Jabatan Insolvensi Malaysia (MDI) telah melaporkan bahawa ada penurunan jumlah kes muflis sejak 2019 disebabkan pelbagai langkah yang dikuatkuasakan oleh kerajaan biarpun dijejaskan oleh wabak COVID-19.\u00a0\n\n\nPada tahun 2021, hanya 6,554 kes yang telah diisytiharkan berbanding 12,051 kes pada 2019. Sekali baca macam bagus, kan?\u00a0\n\n\nTakkan Tak Nampak Kot?\u00a0\n\n\nNamun, kesudahan seperti ini tidak akan kekal lama melihatkan bagaimana biarpun ketika musim pandemik ini, Jabatan Insolvensi Malaysia telah menaikkan kadar nilai ambang untuk permohonan muflis kepada RM100,000, dua kali ganda daripada nilai RM50,000 yang telah ditetapkan selepas 2017. Sebelum itu, ianya cuma RM30,000.\u00a0\n\n\n\u2018Langkah sementara\u2019 ini masih berkuatkuasa sehingga 31 Ogos 2021 tetapi ia hampir dikuatkuasakan sebagai dasar jangka masa panjang melalui penggubalan semula Akta Insolvensi 1967. Had untuk memohon muflis kerap kali dinaikkan, ini bermakna seseorang perlu mempunyai tiga kali ganda nilai hutang untuk layak memohon status muflis bermula tahun 2020 dan seterusnya berbanding pada tahun 2016. Ini ialah satu kegilaan yang tak masuk akal.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWalau bagaimanapun, dalam pembentangan Bajet 2023, nilai ambang untuk memohon muflis ini akan diturunkan kepada RM50,000 sahaja apabila Akta Insolvensi 1967 ini akan digubal semula pada tahun 2023.\n\n\nPatutlah jumlah kes muflis yang direkodkan oleh Jabatan Insolvensi makin menurun walaupun telah berlakunya kemelesetan ekonomi pada 2020, kadar penggangguran yang makin tinggi, peningkatan kos sara hidup, dan peningkatan kuasa beli rakyat Malaysia yang sedikit.\n\n\nMoratorium pinjaman, pelbagai skema pengeluaran duit KWSP dan pelbagai lagi bantuan kewangan daripada kerajaan telah membantu mengurangkan kesan buruk akibat musim pandemik tetapi mungkin langkah paling tak bijak dan melulu yang boleh dibuat ketika musim penjimatan ini ialah dengan membeli kereta baharu untuk beraya setelah sekian lama Aidilfitri tidak disambut selama dua tahun.\u00a0\n\n\nApa agaknya yang akan dikeluarkan oleh Jabatan Insolvensi Malaysia pada tahun 2022 atau adakah semuanya akan disembunyikan oleh pemesongan lain dan akan menaikkan nilai ambang bagi permohonan muflis lagi.\u00a0\n\n\n*Artikel ini merupakan terjemahan semula daripada artikel \u201c\nAre Pricier Cars Leading To A Bankruptcy Bubble Among Young Malaysians\n\u201d yang diterbitkan di Carlist.my.

Malah, jumlah \njualan kenderaan baharu\n meningkat satu peratus kepada 604,287 unit pada 2019 berbanding 598,598 pada tahun 2018.\n\n\nKereta Mewah Baharu lwn. Kereta Mewah Terpakai?\n\n\nNamun begitu, di sebalik pertumbuhan yang positif pasaran kereta baharu, kereta mewah terpakai juga tidak ketinggalan menjadi pilihan pengguna yang ingin mendapatkan pilihan kereta mewah terpakai yang berkualiti dengan tawaran harga yang lebih murah berbanding biasa. Kereta mewah terpakai boleh didapatkan di pasaran kereta terpakai dengan harga jauh lebih murah berbanding asal. CARSOME menyenaraikan 4 jenama kereta mewah terpakai paling laris pada tahun 2019 yang boleh anda pertimbangkan.\n\n\n\n\n#1 BMW \u2013 3 Series, 5 Series, X3 dan X5\n\n\nBayerische Motoren Werke\n atau \nBavarian Motor Works\n (BMW) merupakan antara jenama kereta mewah terpakai popular yang menjadi pilihan pengguna. BMW merupakan syarikat automotif Jerman yang diasaskan oleh Franz Josef Popp pada tahun 1917. Ia kini berada dalam kelasnya yang tersendiri sebagai pengeluar kereta mewah berjenama dan eksklusif. Jenama ini mendapat permintaan yang tinggi walaupun dalam pasaran industri kereta terpakai disebabkan oleh kualiti pemanduan, ciri keselamatan dan elemen kemewahan yang ditampilkan. Malah, jualan untuk kereta baharu BMW telah menyumbangkan jualan sebanyak 9,300 unit kenderaan pada tahun lalu dengan 2,514 unit adalah daripada model BMW 3 Series, BMW 330e M Sport (1,000 unit) dan BMW 5 Series (lebih 2,000 unit).\n\n\nBMW X3 misalnya, menggunakan enjin 4-silinder BMW TwinPower Turbo 2.0L yang menjana 252 kuasa kuda (hp) dan tork 350 meter Newton (Nm) dengan kotak gear transmisi automatik 8 kelajuan \nSteptronic Sport\n. Kenderaan utiliti sukan (SUV) ini mudah dipandu dan mesra pengguna, dilengkapi dengan panel instrumen pelbagai fungsi 12 inci dengan teknologi \nBMW Black Panel\n yang menggantikan kluster paparan meter versi lama. Selain paparan maklumat seperti navigasi, model ini juga turut dilengkapi dengan tiga mod pemanduan: \nECO PRO\n, \nCOMFORT\n, dan \nSPORT\n.\n\n\nBahagian luaran yang \ntrendy\n dan \nsporty\n serta bahagian dalaman yang moden dan ekslusif menjadikan model ini antara model yang mendapat tempat dalam kalangan pengguna kereta terpakai. Tawaran harga yang lebih murah berbanding model baharu dengan ciri yang sama semestinya menjadikan \nkereta BMW terpakai\n \npilihan yang terbaik untuk menjimatkan wang.\n\n\n\n\n#2 Mercedes-Benz \u2013 C-Class, E-Class dan S-Class\n\n\nSelain itu, jenama \nMercedes-Benz\n \njuga berada dalam kelasnya yang tersendiri. Jenama ini popular dan mendapat permintaan yang tinggi dalam kalangan pengguna kereta terpakai. Jenama ini bukan sahaja melambangkan kemewahan dan kemegahan pemiliknya, ia memberi gambaran keselesaan dan kemantapan prestasi jentera dari Jerman ini. Model Mercedes-Benz C-Class generasi keempat, C250 AMG Line dengan kod nama W205 sudah memadai untuk membuktikannya. Siri baharu Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2019 ini tampil dengan reka bentuk, prestasi dan keselamatan yang dipertingkatkan. Untuk rekod, model C-Class merupakan model yang paling laris dari Mercedes-Benz Malaysia.\n\n\nModel ini didatangkan dengan pelbagai penambahbaikan untuk gaya pemanduan yang lebih optimum. Mercedes-Benz C-Class C250 AMG Line merupakan model pertama yang menggunakan platform\n Modular Rear Architecture\n (MRA). C250 AMG Line tampil lebih \nsporty\n dan garang dengan gabungan kit badan AMG. Model Mercedes-Benz 2019 ini menggunakan transmisi kotak gear\n 9G-Tronic Automatic\n yang merupakan kotak gear automatik dengan sembilan nisbah gear, pertama seumpamanya di dunia bagi segmen premium.\n\n\nSelain itu, model ini menggunakan enjin 2.0L atau 1,991 cc yang mampu menghasilkan tujahan terbaik. Ia turut dilengkapi \nLED Intelligent Light System\n,\n Adaptive Highbeam Assist\n dan sistem multimedia dengan paparan skrin 8.4 inci\n COMAND Online\n.\n\n\n\n\n#3 Land Rover \u2013 Freelander dan Discovery\n\n\nLand Rover Discovery merupakan kenderaan utiliti sukan (SUV) generasi kelima yang dikuasakan dengan enjin diesel 3.0 liter V6. Ia tampil dengan kuasa 254 kuasa kuda (hp) dan tork 600 meter Newton (Nm) yang dipadankan dengan sistem transmisi automatik ZF lapan kelajuan. Ia sekali gus menawarkan proses penukaran gear yang lancar dan penggunaan bahan api yang optimum. Enjin ini juga berupaya menghasilkan prestasi lebih jitu dengan kuasa pecutan dari 0 hingga 100 kilometer sejam (km/j) dalam masa 8.1 saat, 3.1 saat lebih pantas berbanding generasi terdahulu.\n\n\nDiscovery juga dilengkapi dengan sistem infotainmen \nInControl Touch Pro\n dengan ciri akses pelbagai aplikasi, navigasi satelit dan kawalan kenderaan melalui skrin paparan sentuh 10 inci resolusi tinggi. Reka bentuk model ini juga lebih dinamik berbanding model terdahulu, tampil lebih \nsporty\n dan moden. Menariknya, model ini dilengkapi dengan sistem \nsuspension\n udara empat penjuru yang meningkatkan kualiti pengendalian dalam apa jua keadaan pemanduan.\n\n\nModel ini menyajikan prestasi pemanduan yang memberangsangkan, keupayaan kuasa yang mantap untuk pengalaman pemanduan yang lebih responsif dan lancar. Maka tidak hairanlah model ini juga mendapat permintaan yang tinggi dalam kalangan peminat \nkereta mewah terpakai\n.\n\n\n\n\n#4 Volvo \u2013 XC90\n\n\nJenama Volvo sememangnya terkenal dengan ciri keselamatan terbaik serta kemantapan pengendalian sejak awal penghasilan kereta ini 92 tahun yang lalu. Volvo merupakan antara jenama pengeluar kenderaan yang paling selamat di dunia dan mempunyai kelompok pengikutnya yang tersendiri. Elemen keselamatan, keselesaan penumpang, kualiti kenderaan menjadi teras utama penghasilan kereta terbaik selari dengan jenamanya. Maka tidak hairanlah, walaupun \nkereta Volvo terpakai\n, ia masih mendapat permintaan yang sangat tinggi dalam kalangan peminatnya. Volvo XC90 misalnya, sebuah kenderaan utiliti sukan (SUV) tujuh kerusi premium versi\n hibrid plug-in\n (PHV).\n\n\nModel ini menjanjikan keselesaan pemanduan yang optimum di atas jalan raya. Ruang dalaman dengan tempat duduk balutan kulit hitam memberi keselesaan untuk pemanduan yang lama dan jauh. Jentera ini juga turut dilengkapi dengan sistem infotainmen \nSensus Connect\n, skrin sentuh sembilan inci serta sambungan \nApple CarPlay\n dan \nAndroid\n. Volvo XC90 terkenal dengan sistem teknologi yang canggih seperti \nAdaptive Cruise Control,\n \nCity Safety with Front Collision Warning\n, dan \nPedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake\n. Selain itu, model ini turut dilengkapi \nLane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Aid\n dan \nBlind Spot Information System (BLIS)\n.\n\n\nXC90 menggunakan enjin petrol empat silinder turbo 2.0 liter. Enjin ini mampu menghasilkan kuasa maksimum 254 kuasa kuda (hp) pada 5,500 putaran per minit (rpm) dan tork maksimum 350 meter Newton (Nm) pada 1,500rpm hingga 4,800rpm. Kombinasi kuasa itu mampu menghasilkan pecutan 7.9 saat pada 100 kilometer per jam (km/j) dengan kelajuan maksimum 215km/j. Kadar penjimatan bahan api bagi model kereta ini ialah 7.9 liter per 100km, sesuai dengan saiz kenderaan yang boleh memuatkan tujuh penumpang ini.\n\n\n\n\n#5 Lexus \u2013 RX 300 dan NX 300\n\n\nLexus merupakan antara jenama kereta mewah terpakai yang mendapat permintaan yang tinggi dalam pasaran. Model \nLexus\n sentiasa tampil dengan pengalaman pemanduan yang menarik, rekaan yang inovatif dan futuristik. Kenderaan utiliti sukan (SUV) seperti model Lexus RX mula memasuki pasaran pada tahun 1998. Model RX 300, contohnya, hadir dengan tiga varian iaitu \nPremium, Luxury\n dan\n F Sport\n. Pintu but bagi varian Luxury dan F Sport boleh dibuka dengan hanya meletakkan kaki di bawah bampar. Malah, ruang dalaman kereta ini dilengkapi dengan skrin paparan sentuh bersaiz 12.3 inci dengan sokongan \nApple CarPlay\n dan \nAndroid\n.\n\n\nModel ini turut menampilkan pembaharuan dan penambaikan reka bentuk. Ia dilengkapi dengan gril hadapan baharu, lampu hadapan dengan bentuk lebih tajam dan lampu nyalaan siang (DRL). Reka bentuk luaran tampil dengan imej garang, sesuatu yang cukup unik bagi sebuah SUV mewah. Model RX 300 dijana oleh enjin 2.0 liter petrol dengan pengecas turbo\n twin-scroll\n Dual-VVT-iW untuk menghasilkan 235 kuasa kuda (hp) pada 4,800 hingga 5,600 rpm dan tork 350 meter Newton (Nm) pada 1,650 hingga 4,000 rpm.

Kebanyakan daripada mereka berlumba-lumba untuk menghasilkan dan membuktikan keupayaan mereka dalam menghasilkan kereta yang paling laju di dunia. Berdasarkan rekod, \nBenz Patent Motorwagen\n merupakan kereta pertama yang diiktiraf di sebagai kereta terpantas di dunia. Model kereta yang dibina pada tahun 1898 ini mencatatkan kelajuan tertinggi sebanyak 12 mph sebelum dicabar oleh Jaguar XK120 setengah abad kemudian.\n\n\n\n\n7 Kereta Paling Laju di Dunia 2021 yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\nKedudukan dan takhta kereta paling laju di dunia biasanya akan bertukar tangan saban tahun. Berikut merupakan senarai tujuh (7) kereta paling pantas di dunia setakat hari ini untuk panduan dan rujukan anda:\n\n\n7. Bugatti Chiron | 261 mph\n\n\nBugatti Chiron yang diperkenalkan pada tahun 2016 merupakan model pengganti bagi Bugatti Veyron standard yang ditamatkan selepas 10 tahun pengeluaran. Chiron boleh dikatakan model kereta super \nsport\n paling berkuasa, terpantas, paling mewah dan eksklusif di dunia yang dihasilkan oleh Bugatti. Model kereta ini dinamakan sempena Louis Chiron, pemandu Bugatti dalam Kejuaraan Eropah pada awal tahun 1930-an. Ia sekali gus memberi inspirasi kepada Bugatti untuk menamakan model kereta ini sempena nama beliau.\n\n\n\n\nBugatti Chiron mencatatkan rekod kelajuan tertinggi iaitu 261 mph atau 420 km/j. Selain itu, model ini juga turut menampilkan enjin kuad turbo W16 yang dikemas kini yang mampu menghasilkan 1,184 kuasa kuda.\n\n\n6. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport | 268 mph\n\n\nSebelum Hennessey dan Koenigsegg mendominasi kelompok kereta paling laju di dunia, kebanyakan model kereta keluaran Bugatti mengungguli kelompok ini. Tidak seperti pesaing yang lain, Bugatti memanfaatkan kelebihan pelaburan masa dan sumber daripada rizab tunai syarikat induknya, Volkswagen. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport dihasilkan dalam jumlah yang terhad iaitu sebanyak 30 unit sahaja.\n\n\n\n\nSuper Sport ini menampilkan kuasa kuda 184 lebih tinggi dan ciri aerodinamik yang lebih baik berbanding Veyron standard yang hanya menghasilkan 1,001 kuasa kuda. Ia sekaligus membolehkan model kereta ini mencapai 267 mph untuk menjadikan Veyron Super Sport sebagai kereta pengeluaran terpantas di dunia pada tahun 2010.\n\n\n5. Hennessey Venom GT | 270 mph\n\n\nHennessey Venom GT mencipta rekod kelajuan tertinggi rasmi yang baharu mengatasi Bugatti Veyron. \nSupercar\n yang berpangkalan di Lotus ini menampilkan enjin turbo berkembar 7.0 liter V8 dan 1,244 kuasa kuda. Model ini mencatatkan rekod kelajuan tertinggi iaitu 270.4 mph atau 435 km/j. Sebelum menghasilkan Venom GT, pengeluar model kereta ini iaitu Hennessey Performance Engineering hanya mengubahsuai kereta sukan atau \nsport car\n. Ini bermaksud, model Venom GT merupakan kereta pertama keluaran sendiri yang dibina berasaskan platform Lotus Exige.\n\n\nMeskipun \nGuinness Book of World Records\n memperakui rekod kelajuan yang dicatatkan oleh model ini, ia menerima kritian daripada pelbagai pihak. Terdapat pertikaian rekod kelajuan tertinggi yang diambil kerana ia tidak berdasarkan purata dua percubaan dalam arah yang bertentangan.\n\n\n4. Koenigsegg Agera RS | 278 mph\n\n\nBerikutan kejayaan Agera R, Koenigsegg memperkenalkan model Agera RS pada tahun 2017. Ia sekali gus menjadikannya kereta terpantas di dunia dengan kelajuan purata 277.9 mph atau 447 km/j. Meskipun rekod ini hanya bertahan kurang daripada dua tahun, Agera RS masih mendominasi beberapa petanda aras dalam dunia automotif\u2013tempoh pecutan dari 0 hingga 200 mph, pembrekan dari 200 hingga 0 mph dan berhenti sepenuhnya.\n\n\n\n\nModel kereta ini menampilkan enjin yang sama dengan model sebelumnya iaitu V8-5 liter dengan caj turbo berkembar. Ia berupaya menghasilkan 1,350 kuasa kuda, 210 lebih tinggi berbanding Koenigsegg Agera R. Tidak seperti Bugatti, Koenigsegg tidak menghasilkan Agera RS edisi terhad sebagai simbolik untuk meraikan pencapaiannya. Namun begitu, kesemua 25 unit kereta ini dihasilkan dengan warna, pengeluaran kuasa yang berbeza dengan mana-mana model lain.\n\n\n3. Hennessey Venom F5 | 301 mph\n\n\nHennessey Venom F5 merupakan salah satu kereta paling laju di dunia yang pernah direkodkan. Nama model kereta ini diambil daripada nama puting beliung paling pantas, sesuai dengan kelajuan dan kuasa luar biasa yang ditampilkan oleh model ini. Venom F5 menampilkan enjin berkembar dengan caj turbo buatan Amerika. Ia menampilkan 2,000 kuasa kuda sekali gus membolehkannya mencapai kelajuan tertinggi 484 km/j atau 301 mph.\n\n\n\n\nModel ini juga mampu memecut daripada 0 hingga 100km/j atau 0 hingga 60mph dalam masa kurang daripada dua saat. Venom F5 yang dibina untuk memecahkan rekod dunia yang disandang oleh penyandang terdahulu bukan sahaja menampilkan kelajuan, malah gaya, harga dan ciri eksklusif yang memukau.\n\n\n2. Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ | 304 mph\n\n\nBugatti Chiron boleh dikatakan antara kereta paling laju di dunia dengan kelajuan sekitar 261 mph. Namun begitu, firma Perancis ini ingin memecahkan rekod baharu dengan menghasilkan Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, versi yang dipertingkatkan daripada versi sebelumnya. Model kereta ini menampilkan enjin yang lebih berkuasa berbanding Bugatti Centodieci \u2013 1,578 kuasa kuda yang dikatakan 99 kali lebih berkuasa berbanding Chiron standard. Selain itu, nisbah gear dengan kotak gear juga dikatakan lebih panjang dengan pakej aerodinamik yang dipertingkatkan. Ia secara tidak langsung menambahkan panjang kereta hampir 10 inci.\n\n\nMeskipun model kereta ini masih dikategorikan sebagai sebuah prototaip pragengeluaran, ia mencatatkan rekod dunia sebagai\n supercar\n paling laju. Model kereta ini merekodkan kelajuan tertinggi sebanyak 304 mph atau 491 km/j. Rekod ini memadai untuk mengesahkan kedudukan dalam \nGuinness Book of World Records\n. Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ juga merupakan kereta pertama yang berjaya mencapai kelajuan setinggi ini.\n\n\n1. SSC Tuatara | 316 mph\n\n\nShelby SuperCar atau SSC yang berpusat di Amerika Utara telah menghasilkan sebuah \nsupercar\n yang dilengkapi dengan inovasi automotif terkini dan terhebat. Pada Oktober 2020, SSC mengesahkan bahawa Tuatara merupakan kereta paling laju di dunia dan berjaya mencapai kelajuan 331 mph atau 530 km/j. Tuatara yang mendapat namanya daripada sejenis reptilia di New Zealand menampilkan reka bentuk yang elegan dan moden. Ia dikuasakan oleh\n flat-plane-crank\n 5.9 liter motor V-8 turbo berkembar dan mampu menjana 1,750 kuasa kuda.\n\n\n\n\nMelalui ujian pemanduan di lebuh raya tertutup berhampiran Pahrump, Nevada \u2013 SSC Natura berjaya merekodkan perjalanan pergi balik dengan masing-masing mencatatkan 330 mph dan 301 mph. Ia sekali gus menjadikan purata perjalanan dua hala sebanyak 316 mph dan melayakkan SSC Tuatara menjadi kereta paling laju di dunia, sekurang-kurangnya buat masa ini.\n\n\nSelain itu, sekiranya anda merancang untuk\u00a0\nmembeli kereta terpakai\n\u00a0\natau\u00a0\nmenjual kereta terpakai\u00a0lama\n\u00a0anda, layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

Ia menjadi kegilaan pemilik kenderaan hari ini dan mendapat permintaan yang tinggi dalam pasaran tidak kira pasaran \nonline\n mahupun \noffline\n. Lambakan pelbagai pilihan aksesori kereta sedikit sebanyak mendorong pemilik kenderaan untuk memiliki aksesori kereta yang bersesuaian dengan karakter dan personaliti peribadi. Namun begitu, kebanyakan daripada pemilik kenderaan hanya memikirkan nilai estetika kereta semata-mata. Pemasangan aksesori kereta yang berbahaya, tidak sesuai dan tidak selamat boleh mendatangkan risiko kecederaan dan kehilangan nyawa.\n\n\n\n\n7 Aksesori Kereta Boleh Membahayakan Nyawa Pemandu dan Penumpang\n\n\nPenggunaan aksesori tambahan yang tidak sesuai menyebabkan bahaya seperti kemalangan, terbabas dan sebagainya. Oleh sebab itu, penggunaan aksesori tambahan yang sesuai boleh membantu mengelakkan insiden sebegini daripada berlaku. Carsome menyenaraikan 7 aksesori kereta yang biasa dijual dalam pasaran namun perlu dielakkan untuk rujukan dan panduan anda:\n\n\n1. Memasang Aksesori Pendawaian Elektrik\n\n\nKebanyakan pemilik kenderaan memasang pelbagai jenis aksesori pendawaian elektrik dalam kereta seperti speaker, pemain LCD atau DVD dan sebagainya. Secara amnya, aksesori ini boleh didapati dengan mudah secara online dengan julat harga yang berbeza. Pelbagai pilihan aksesori yang tersedia pada harga yang berpatutan secara tidak langsung menarik minat pemilik kenderaan untuk memasang aksesori sebegini pada kereta tanpa memikirkan kualiti, ketulenan, waranti dan jaminan ketahanan produk.\n\n\nKebiasaannya, pemasangan aksesori elektrik seperti pembesar suara dan penggantian set lampu depan kereta baharu memerlukan pengubahsuaian pendawaian tambahan. Namun begitu, jika pendawaian elektrik tidak dilakukan mengikut spesifikasi yang betul, ia boleh menyebabkan pemanasan dan meningkatkan risiko kereta terbakar. Umumnya, kenderaan berisiko untuk terbakar sekiranya pendawaian sistem elektrik kereta tidak dilakukan dengan betul.\n\n\nPenggunaan aksesori yang tidak berkualiti dan tidak mengikut spesifikasi juga boleh meningkatkan risiko kebakaran. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk membeli aksesori kereta yang tulen, selain mendapatkan perkhidmatan pendawaian elektrik profesional untuk mengelakkan kejadian litar pintas.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nKereta Terbakar? Punca dan Cara Elakkan Kebakaran Kereta\n\n\n2. Menggunakan Karpet Kereta yang Tidak Sesuai\n\n\nKarpet kereta atau getah pelapik kaki merupakan salah satu aksesori kereta yang biasa digunakan oleh kebanyakan pemilik kenderaan. Ia berfungsi mengelakkan kekotoran daripada kasut seperti lumpur atau pasir melekat dan mengotorkan lantai kereta. Namun begitu, penggunaan karpet kereta yang tidak mengikut saiz yang betul dan sesuai boleh membahayakan nyawa anda. Kebanyakan karpet kereta atau getah pelapik kaki yang biasanya dijual dalam pasaran tidak dipotong mengikut saiz yang sesuai dengan lantai kenderaan anda.\n\n\nPenggunaan karpet kereta atau getah pelapik kaki jenis OEM ini perlu dielakkan kerana ia berpotensi untuk tersangkut di bahagian pedal brek atau pedal minyak.\u00a0Terdapat beberapa insiden yang pernah berlaku membabitkan karpet kereta tersangkut yang menyebabkan kenderaan hilang kawalan. Baru-baru ini, berlaku insiden sebuah kereta \nProton Saga\n \nhilang kawalan lalu merempuh sebuah\n Honda City\n serta tiga buah gerai makanan di Jalan Taman Mesra, Kajang. Kejadian tersebut berpunca daripada karpet kereta yang \ntersangkut\n di bawah pedal brek.\n\n\nSekiranya anda ingin menggunakan aksesori ini, anda disarankan untuk menggunakan aksesori asli yang dijual oleh pengedar kereta. Meskipun ditawarkan pada harga yang sedikit mahal, ia menawarkan kualiti yang lebih premium dan direka khusus untuk lantai kereta anda. Ia sekali gus menjamin keselamatan dan mengurangkan risiko karpet kereta tersangkut dan sebagainya.\n\n\n3. Pelapik Stereng atau \nSteering Cover\n yang Licin\n\n\nOleh sebab itu, pemasangan aksesori seperti \nsteering cover\n yang tidak sesuai boleh menjejaskan prestasi dan fungsi stereng kereta. Tidak dinafikan, \nsteering cover\n boleh menyerlahkan bahagian dalaman kereta dengan elemen mewah dan eksklusif. Malah, pengguna juga boleh menyesuaikan \nsteering cover\n dengan warna yang sesuai mengikut pilihan. Meskipun begitu, penggunaan aksesori sebegini adalah tidak digalakkan lebih-lebih lagi jika tidak mengikut spesifikasi yang betul dan menggunakan material yang tidak berkualiti. Ini kerana, ada sesetengah material yang licin dan tidak memberi cengkaman yang diperlukan.\n\n\nPenggunaan \nsteering cover\n dengan material yang tidak sesuai boleh menyebabkan tangan tergelincir daripada stereng. Ia secara tidak langsung boleh menyebabkan kenderaan hilang kawalan dan terbabas. Sekiranya anda ingin menggunakan\n steering cover\n untuk stereng kereta anda, beli material yang bersesuaian yang tidak licin dan menyerap peluh. Anda juga disarankan untuk mendapatkan aksesori sebegini daripada pengedar kereta anda kerana ia biasanya mempunyai jaminan kualiti dan waranti untuk keselamatan anda.\n\n\n\n\n4. Memasang \nTinted\n Lampu Kereta\n\n\nSelain itu, kebanyakan pemilik kenderaan memilih untuk menggelapkan lampu depan dan belakang dengan \ntinted\n gelap. Meskipun cara ini menjadikan kereta tampil lebih \nsporty\n, garang dan menarik, namun sebenarnya ia boleh membahayakan nyawa anda dan juga orang lain. Lampu kereta yang digelapkan (\nsmoked\n) boleh meningkatkan risiko kemalangan kerana ia mengurangkan kadar intensiti cahaya sekali gus menjadikannya lebih samar, gelap dan kelam. Perbuatan \ntinted\n lampu kereta boleh mengganggu tahap ketelusan pencahayaan dan mengurangkan jarak penglihatan pemandu. Malah, ia juga boleh menyukarkan tahap ketelusan pencahayaan terutamanya pada waktu malam.\n\n\nTinted\n lampu kereta juga mengurangkan kadar kebolehlihatan lampu kereta terutamanya semasa menekan brek, menggunakan signal, menyalakan lampu hazard dan sebagainya. Ia dalam masa yang sama menyukarkan kenderaan anda dilihat oleh kenderaan lain terutamanya pada waktu malam. Oleh sebab itu, sebarang pengubahsuaian atau penambahan aksesori tambahan kereta yang berisiko membahayakan nyawa anda perlu dielakkan untuk keselesaan dan keselamatan anda sepanjang pemanduan.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nAksesori Lampu Kereta yang Menjadi Kesalahan, Pilihan Lampu Halogen, Lampu HID atau Lampu LED?\n\n\n5. Menggunakan \nDummy Buckle\n Tali Pinggang Keledar\n\n\nTali pinggang keledar merupakan peranti keselamatan penting dalam kenderaan. Ia berfungsi melindungi pemandu dan penumpang daripada situasi berbahaya seperti kemalangan atau kereta tiba-tiba berhenti mengejut. Tali pinggang keledar dapat mengelakkan pemandu dan penumpang daripada terpelanting dan tercampak keluar daripada kenderaan atau terhantuk pada bahagian dalaman kereta sekiranya kenderaan terlibat kemalangan atau terbalik. Ia sekali gus dapat mengurangkan impak kemalangan dan mengelakkan risiko kematian atau kecederaan serius.\n\n\nOleh sebab itu, pemasangan aksesori tambahan seperti \ndummy buckle\n pada tali pinggang keledar adalah tidak digalakkan. Menurut Institut Penyelidikan Keselamatan Jalan Raya Malaysia (\nMIROS\n), penggunaan \ndummy buckle\n atau alat nyah aktif penggera tali pinggang keledar boleh memberi kesan buruk dan menjejaskan prestasi sebenar peranti ini. Penggunaan aksesori ini juga memberi impak perlanggaran yang sama seperti tidak memakai tali pinggang keledar. Malah, penggunaan aksesori ini juga boleh menyebabkan beg udara tidak berfungsi semasa kemalangan.\n\n\n6. Meletakkan Hiasan \nDashboard\n Kereta dan \nParcel Tray\n\n\nJika tali pinggang keledar merupakan sistem perlindungan utama untuk pemandu, beg udara pula merupakan sistem perlindungan sekunder sekiranya berlaku kemalangan. Namun begitu, kebanyakan pemilik kenderaan gemar meletakkan aksesori tambahan dan hiasan kecil pada\n dashboard\n kereta. Secara amnya, pemasangan hiasan \ndashboard\n kereta seperti pelapik (\ndashboard covers\n) boleh menjejaskan prestasi beg udara dan membahayakan nyawa anda. Sekiranya dalam situasi kecemasan, hiasan dan aksesori tambahan sebegini boleh menghalang beg udara daripada kembang sepenuhnya.\n\n\nObjek-objek hiasan dan aksesori pada\n dashboard\n kereta juga boleh melantun dan mencederakan anda dan penumpang. Semasa kemalangan, tali pinggang keledar akan diketatkan dan beg udara akan diaktifkan dalam masa yang sama. Kelajuan beg udara mengembang semasa diaktifkan boleh mencecah 100 km/j hingga 300 km/j bergantung pada kelajuan dan impak kemalangan.\u00a0Selain itu, jika anda perhatikan di bahagian belakang (\nparcel tray\n) kenderaan lain semasa memandu, kebanyakan pemilik kenderaan meletakkan aksesori seperti bantal, \nsoft toy\n, kotak tisu dan sebagainya.\n\n\nMeskipun ia membuatkan kereta anda tampil lebih menarik, ia boleh membahayakan anda. Ini kerana, ia menghalang pandangan belakang melalui cermin pandang belakang. Dalam kes yang lebih buruk, objek-objek ini mungkin terpelanting dan mencederakan anda dan penumpang disebabkan oleh impak kemalangan yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\n7. Menggunakan Rim, Tayar Kangkang\n\n\nPengubahsuaian melampau seperti pemasangan rim dan tayar kangkang kini menjadi trend terbaharu dalam kalangan pemilik kenderaan di Malaysia. Penggunaan rim atau tayar yang terkeluar dari ruang roda atau turut dikenali sebagai\n hellaflush\n ini berpotensi menyebabkan risiko kemalangan dan kehilangan nyawa. Selain itu, penggunaan aksesori tayar ini juga meningkatkan penggunaan bahan api, mengurangkan kecengkaman tayar dan menjejaskan kecekapan tayar semasa membrek terutamanya pada permukaan jalan yang basah.\n\n\nKajian oleh Institut Penyelidikan Keselamatan Jalan Raya Malaysia (MIROS) juga turut menunjukkan penggunaan tayar sebegini boleh menyebabkan tayar pecah terutamanya pada kelajuan tinggi. Kenderaan yang menggunakan rim dan tayar kangkang perlu melalui pengubahsuaian tertentu. Ia biasanya akan menggunakan rim yang lebih lebar berbanding saiz tayar. Selain itu, \nsistem suspensi kereta\n \ndan sudut kamber (\ncamber\n) kereta juga turut akan diubah untuk menjadikan kereta lebih rendah.\u00a0Ia sekali gus menyebabkan tayar terkeluar daripada ruang roda dan berkedudukan senget menyebabkannya kelihatan seperti terkangkang.\n\n\nPengubahsuaian melampau terutamanya pada sistem suspensi dan sudut kamber ditambah dengan beban yang berlebihan boleh menyebabkan kerosakan yang serius pada \nabsorber kereta\n \ndan komponen sistem suspensi kereta yang lain. Menurut \nPolis Diraja Malaysia\n, trend mengubah suai tayar kangkang boleh dikenakan tindakan mengikut Seksyen 6 Akta Pengangkutan Jalan 1987 dan Peraturan 138 Kaedah-Kaedah Lalu lintas Jalan 170/59. Jika disabit kesalahan, pengguna boleh dikenakan hukuman denda tidak melebihi RM2,000 atau penjara tidak lebih daripada enam bulan.\n\n\n\n\nLindungi diri dan keluarga anda. Elakkan pengubahsuaian atau pemasangan aksesori kereta yang boleh membahayakan diri anda, keluarga dan orang lain. Selain itu, sekiranya anda merancang untuk \nmembeli kereta terpakai\n\u00a0atau\u00a0\nmenjual kereta terpakai\n\u00a0lama\n anda, layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

Malah jika dilihat pada hari ini, kereta generasi moden ternyata lebih maju dan hebat dengan pelbagai penambahan \nspesifikasi\n \ndan lain berbanding kereta generasi pertama dahulu. Daripada penggunaan tenaga stim sehinggalah tenaga elektrik, hari ini kita melangkah setapak lebih jauh dengan pengenalan kereta pandu sendiri. Namun persoalan yang timbul, adakah kereta pandu sendiri hanyalah sebuah fantasi yang diangankan atau sebuah realiti yang boleh dibanggakan?\n\n\n\n\nKereta Pandu Sendiri: Adakah Ia Selamat?\n\n\nKenderaan pandu sendiri kini giat dibangunkan oleh syarikat-syarikat besar dunia seperti Tesla, Google dan Uber. Ia merupakan sesuatu yang sememangnya dinanti-nantikan untuk menembusi pasaran tempatan tidak lama lagi. Namun begitu, masih ramai yang meragui keupayaan teknologi kenderaan pandu sendiri ini. Adakah pengenalan teknologi baharu ini selamat untuk digunakan di Malaysia? CARSOME menyenaraikan 5 sebab teknologi kereta pandu sendiri ini masih belum bersedia untuk digunakan di Malaysia.\n\n\n#1 Sistem Sensor \n(Sensor System)\n\n\nKereta pandu sendiri dilengkapi dengan pelbagai jenis sensor untuk membantu kenderaan melihat dan mengesan objek-objek lain di jalan raya. Kereta pandu sendiri dilengkapi \nkamera\n untuk membantu mengenal pasti objek dan \nradar\n yang mengesan objek, menjejaki kelajuan dan arah kenderaan lain. Selain itu, ia turut dilengkapi \nlidar\n yang menggunakan laser untuk mengukur jarak antara objek dan kenderaan. Sensor ini akan menghantar maklumat ke sistem kawalan kereta sebelum membuat keputusan sama ada perlu memecut atau menekan brek.\n\n\nKenderaan pandu sendiri memerlukan sensor yang tepat yang boleh mengesan objek, jarak, kelajuan dan sebagainya dalam pelbagai keadaan dan cuaca tanpa penglibatan manusia. Di Malaysia contohnya, cuaca dan keadaan trafik yang tidak menentu, budaya vandalisme pada papan tanda boleh mempengaruhi ketepatan bacaan sensor. Kemalangan maut yang berlaku melibatkan\n Tesla\n menunjukkan masih terdapat jurang besar yang perlu diperbaiki sebelum dapat menghasilkan sebuah kenderaan pandu sendiri yang selamat.\n\n\n\n\n#2 Kecerdasan Buatan \n(Artificial Intelligence)\n\n\nKereta pandu sendiri menggunakan kecerdasan buatan untuk memproses data daripada sensor. Data yang diterima akan diproses oleh sistem komputer yang akan membantu membuat keputusan. Algoritma ini membantu mengenal pasti objek yang dikesan oleh sensor dan mengelaskan objek mengikut kategori tertentu \u2013 pejalan kaki, papan tanda dan sebagainya. Sistem kawalan kereta ini kemudiannya akan menggunakan maklumat ini untuk menentukan tindakan susulan yang perlu diambil seperti menekan brek atau melencong untuk mengelakkan daripada melanggar objek yang dikesan.\n\n\nDengan penambahbaikan yang berterusan, teknologi ini mungkin berkesan dan boleh berfungsi dengan baik pada masa akan datang. Kenderaan mungkin tidak lagi memerlukan pemandu untuk mengerakkannya. Namun buat masa ini, algoritma yang digunakan tidak dijamin keberkesanan dan keselamatannya. Malah, tiada penstandardan khusus tentang cara kecerdasan buatan ini perlu dilatih, diuji atau disahkan.\n\n\n#3 Sistem Jalan Terbuka \n(Open Road)\n\n\nDi kawasan sekitar Lembah Klang misalnya, lebuh raya dan jalan raya baharu bertambah setiap masa ekoran penambahan bilangan kenderaan di atas jalan raya saban tahun. Kereta tanpa pemandu ini berkemungkinan akan melalui jalan baharu dan berhadapan dengan objek yang belum pernah ditemui dalam mana-mana sesi latihan sebelum ini. Ia sekali gus akan menyukarkan proses pengecaman objek yang boleh menjejaskan keberkesanan sistemnya.\n\n\nJusteru itu, kereta pandu sendiri tertakluk pada kemas kini dan naik taraf perisian yang berterusan setiap masa. Tanpa kemas kini yang berterusan, versi perisian sedia ada tidak lagi akan disokong oleh versi perisian terkini. Malah, sikap pemandu di Malaysia juga menjadi salah satu faktor yang perlu dititikberatkan:\n\n\n\n\nAdakah teknologi ini dapat mengesan pemandu yang gemar \n\u2018mencilok\u2019\n dalam trafik sesak?\n\n\nAdakah ia berupaya mengesan kereta yang membelok secara tiba-tiba tanpa memberi signal?\n\n\n\n\nSikap pengguna jalan raya di Malaysia sendiri telah menunjukkan tahap kebersediaan kita terhadap teknologi baharu. Jika sikap pengguna jalan raya masih berada di tahap sama, kereta terbang pun tidak akan mampu membantu mengurangkan risiko kemalangan.\n\n\n\n\n#4 Peraturan\n (Regulation)\n\n\nPeraturan dan standard yang mencukupi untuk sistem kenderaan pandu sendiri tidak lagi wujud dalam mana-mana industri buat masa ini. Standard keselamatan semasa untuk kenderaan sedia ada mengandaikan kehadiran manusia dalam kenderaan yang akan mengambil alih kenderaan sekiranya berpotensi berlaku kemalangan. Terdapat standard antarabangsa untuk sistem kenderaan pandu sendiri yang menetapkan keperluan yang relevan namun masih tidak menyelesaikan masalah sensor, kecerdasan buatan dan operasi-operasi lain yang dinyatakan di atas. Dengan undang-undang sedia ada, terdapat beberapa persoalan yang timbul:\n\n\n\n\nSiapakah yang bertanggungjawab jika berlaku nahas jalan raya yang melibatkan kenderaan tanpa pemandu?\n\n\nAdakah Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) akan mengeluarkan lesen memandu percubaan ke atas kenderaan tanpa pemandu?\n\n\nAdakah terdapat prosedur operasi standard yang perlu dipatuhi sebelum kerajaan membenarkan kenderaan ini berada di atas jalan raya?\n\n\n\n\nTanpa peraturan dan standard yang diperakui, tiada kenderaan tanpa pemandu (sama ada selamat atau tidak) dibenarkan berada atau menggunakan jalan raya terbuka.\n\n\n#5 Penerimaan Sosial \n(Social Acceptability)\n\n\nBanyak kemalangan berprofil tinggi yang melibatkan kereta tanpa pemandu semasa pandu uji dijalankan. Baru-baru ini, terdapat kemalangan yang melibatkan jenama\n Tesla\n \ndan beberapa jenama\n \nmodel kereta\n lain. Penerimaan sosial bukan sahaja melibatkan isu pemilik kereta pandu sendiri semata-mata, tetapi turut melibatkan individu lain yang berkongsi jalan yang sama. Masyarakat awam perlu terlibat dalam keputusan berkaitan pengenalan dan penerimaan kenderaan pandu sendiri. Tanpa penerimaan ini, risiko penolakan masyarakat terhadap teknologi ini amatlah tinggi.\n\n\nMalah, tanpa kerjasama yang menyeluruh yang menjadikan kereta ini selamat untuk dinaiki, ramai yang akan mempersoalkan aspek keselamatan walaupun ia dikatakan mampu membantu mengurangkan risiko kemalangan akibat kecuaian.\n\n\n\n\nApakah model kenderaan tanpa pemandu yang anda nanti-nantikan? Adakah anda merasakan Malaysia sudah bersedia untuk mengaplikasi teknologi kenderaan tanpa pemandu ini? Jika anda sedang mencari \nkereta terpakai idaman\n \nanda (bukan kenderaan tanpa pemandu), mulakan carian anda di \nCARSOME\n, platform jual beli kereta terpakai terbaik di Malaysia!

{"url": "https://www.carsome.my/news/item/kereta-persendirian-pasang-siren", "title": "Boleh Ke Kereta Persendirian Pasang Siren?", "body": ["", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n", "Search", "Home\nBM\nBoleh Ke Kereta Persendirian Pasang Siren?", "Boleh Ke Kereta Persendirian Pasang Siren?", "By\n \nAmarnath", "11/10/2022", "\n\n\n\n\n", "Pernah terjadi tak? Kita dalam perjalanan dan tiba-tiba kita terdengar bunyi siren daripada belakang. Kita pun bersedialah nak bagi laluan. Tunggu punya tunggu, rupa-rupanya itu kereta biasa yang bukan kereta anggota penguatkuasa pun. Tak pasal-pasal kena scam kat situ!\u00a0\n\n\nSebelum kita pergi lagi jauh, lampu berpusing-pusing berwarna biru atau merah atau jingga yang anda nampak di atas kenderaan penguatkuasa itu bukanlah siren tapi lampu mata arah atau \nbeacon\n. Bunyi kuat yang keluar daripada kenderaan semasa lampu mata arah terpasang itulah yang dipanggil siren.\n\n\n\n\nKebiasaannya siren dan lampu pandu arah ini dipasang pada kenderaan agensi penguatkuasa seperti polis, bomba, Jabatan Pertahanan Awam, JPJ, pihak berkuasa tempatan dan lain-lain. Kenderaan seperti ambulans juga ada dipasang siren dan lampu pandu arah ini.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nJangan Elak Bayar Tol Kalau Anda Tak Nak Menyesal\n\n\nLampu pandu arah pula ada dua bentuk iaitu memanjang dan dipasang secara kekal dan bentuk bulat silinder yang boleh dipasang sementara menggunakan magnet di atas kenderaan. Biasanya untuk kenderaan penguatkuasa, lampunya berwarna biru dan merah.\u00a0\n\n\nApa tujuannya? Menurut JPJ, \n\u201cPenggunaan lampu ini adalah untuk memberitahu pengguna-pengguna jalan raya yang lain bahawa mereka perlu memperlahankan kenderaan, berhati-hati dan berwaspada semasa berada di kawasan tersebut.\u201d\n \n\u00a0\n\n\nLagi-lagi agensi penguatkuasa atau agensi kesihatan yang sedang mengerjakan urusan kecemasan, lampu mata arah dan siren ini sangat-sangat membantu memastikan mereka tiba di lokasi kejadian dengan lebih cepat.\u00a0\n\n\nNak Senang Sampai Menyusahkan Orang\n\n\nBaru-baru ini telah tular beberapa video menunjukkan kereta peribadi yang menggunakan siren dan lampu mata arah ini untuk kegunaan peribadi semasa jalan sesak. Ini telah menimbulkan kemarahan netizen sekalian yang menyifatkan tindakan itu tidak bertanggungjawab dan mementingkan diri sendiri.\u00a0\n\n\nAda juga yang keliru kerana menyangka bunyi siren yang didengari itu datang daripada kereta penguatkuasa atau ambulans dan memberi laluan tanpa sebarang kecurigaan. Rupa-rupanya ia hanya kereta biasa yang mungkin memasang siren secara haram.\u00a0\n\n\nSeperti video di bawah ini:\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqiNyr9yFFg\n\n\nSudahlah memasang siren yang boleh mengelirukan orang ramai, berhenti pula di tepi jalan sehingga mengganggu lalu lintas yang boleh mendatangkan bahaya kepada orang lain. Mereka ini merasakan lebih hebat daripada undang-undang itu sendiri.\u00a0\n\n\nDan juga seperti video ini:\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnwef42zCxw\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIni cumalah sebahagian daripada puluhan video yang memaparkan segelintir pengguna jalan raya yang mementingkan diri sendiri. Atau dalam bahasa kasarnya, \u2018seperti jalan tu ayah dia yang punya\u2019.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda nak tahu lagi, siren dan lampu pandu arah ini sangat mudah untuk didapati dan dibeli. Ia ada dijual di kedai aksesori kereta. Harganya juga tidak mahal dan boleh pasang terus pada kereta. Mungkin disebabkan inilah ramai yang memasang siren dan lampu pandu arah pada kereta masing-masing tanpa kebenaran pihak berkuasa.\u00a0\n\n\nTapi adakah siren dan lampu mata arah ini hanya boleh digunakan oleh penguatkuasa dan ambulans sahaja? Anda tahu tak sebenarnya ada banyak lagi kenderaan lain yang dibenarkan untuk menggunakan siren dan juga lampu pandu arah ini.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nUbah Suai Kereta Haram Di Malaysia\n\n\nBoleh Nak Pasang Lampu Mata Arah Tapi\u2026\n\n\nAntara lampu mata arah dan siren, hanya lampu mata arah saja yang boleh dipasang pada kenderaan lain selain daripada kenderaan penguatkuasa. Siren pula TAK BOLEH LANGSUNG dipasang pada kenderaan selain daripada kenderaan penguatkuasa.\u00a0\n\n\nKenderaan apa yang boleh dipasang lampu mata arah? Menurut \nPanduan Permohonan Lampu Mata Arah (kemas kini Ogos 2022)\n, ini syarat yang telah ditetapkan oleh JPJ:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n Kenderaan berkenaan telah didaftarkan sebagai kenderaan kegunaan syarikat.\u00a0\n\n\n Hanya pemilik atau setiausaha syarikat sahaja yang berhak membuat permohonan ini.\u00a0\n\n\nKenderaan kegunaan persendirian tidak dibenarkan memasang dan menggunakan alat tersebut.\n\n\n\n\nIni pula jenis kenderaan yang dibenarkan untuk memasang lampu mata arah ini:\u00a0\n\n\n1.

Bandar sebesar Kuala Lumpur jadi lumpuh disebabkan banjir setelah hujan turun tak berhenti selama beberapa jam. Ekoran itu, beberapa jalan utama ditutup dan ramai orang terperangkap. \nKuala Lumpur dah tenggelam\n!\u00a0\n\n\nRamai yang tak dapat pulang kerana kereta mereka tak boleh bergerak dalam air banjir yang semakin naik. Tetapi ada juga yang berani meredah air banjir dengan kereta mereka. Ada yang berjaya, ada juga yang gagal. Hasilnya? Ada kereta yang terperangkap dalam banjir.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: ISMAweb\n\n\nKereta bukanlah satu mesin yang boleh sesuka hati didedahkan atau dicampakkan ke dalam air. Walaupun besar, kereta mempunyai banyak komponen dan bahagian yang sangat-sangat sensitif dengan kelembapan dan air. Terutama sekali komponen elektronik.\u00a0\n\n\nSekarang jom kita tengok apa ciri yang perlu ada pada sesebuah kereta bagi membolehkan ia meredah banjir dengan selamat tanpa perlu ke bengkel selepas ini.\u00a0\n\n\n1. Kereta Yang Tinggi\u00a0\n\n\nKalau air masih tak tinggi, ada peluang untuk anda meredah banjir. Itupun kalau kereta anda tinggi. Berapa tinggi kereta yang boleh meredah banjir? Sekurang-kurangnya lebih dua kaki. Ada beberapa model kereta yang sebenarnya boleh meredah banjir tanpa masalah.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nModel kereta seperti \nHilux \nmempunyai tinggi yang cukup untuk meredah air lebih 600 mm. Sebenarnya, apa saja kereta jenis pacuan empat roda dan trak boleh mengharungi air banjir tanpa sebarang masalah.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Pam Minyak Kalis Air.\u00a0\n\n\nAntara komponen sensitif yang boleh rosak teruk sekiranya ada air yang masuk ialah pam minyak. Komponen ini terletak berhampiran tangki minyak dan berfungsi mengepam petrol ke enjin. Pam minyak ini dikawal oleh ECU kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \n5 Tanda ECU Kereta Rosak dan Punca ECU Kereta Rosak Yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\n\n\nApabila pam minyak ini dimasuki air, ia akan mengepam sekali air ke dalam kebuk enjin dan boleh menyebabkan kerosakan yang sangat teruk dan mahal untuk dibaiki. Ini boleh terjadi sekiranya pam minyak direndam terlalu lama di dalam air.\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, anda boleh cari kereta yang mempunyai pam minyak yang kalis air supaya sekalipun anda terpaksa meredah air banjir, kereta anda takkan rosak kerana air banjir.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Komponen Elektrik Kalis Air\u00a0\n\n\nMusuh utama komponen elektrik ialah air dan kelembapan. Air akan membuatkan komponen elektrik cepat berkarat. Anda tak nak memandu dengan komponen yang berkarat sebab ia boleh menyebabkan bencana kepada anda dan penumpang.\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, kalau anda nak meredah air banjir, carilah kereta yang ada komponen elektrik kalis air. Mungkin pada setiap sambungan wayar, ada salutan yang boleh mengelakkan air meresap masuk ke dalam wayar yang menyebabkan wayar berkarat.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Bateri Kalis Air\u00a0\n\n\nKomponen yang menjadi nyawa dalam sebuah kereta ada baterinya. Tanpa bateri, kereta takkan boleh dihidupkan kerana sumber elektrik diperlukan untuk memastikan palam pencucuh boleh dihidupkan untuk memastikan enjin boleh berfungsi.\u00a0\n\n\nTetapi, bateri juga merupakan antara komponen sensitif yang tidak boleh didedahkan kepada kelembapan dan air, terutamanya air banjir. Bateri sepatutnya boleh bertahan selama tiga hingga lima tahun tetapi jika didedahkan kepada kelembapan, ia tidak akan bertahan lama.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKalau anda sayangkan kereta anda, anda boleh mempertimbangkan untuk menukar kepada bateri kalis air. Harganya tak jauh beza berbanding bateri biasa yang dijual. Jadi, anda tak perlu risau bateri kereta anda rosak kalau ia terdedah kepada air atau kelembapan.\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, Kereta Apa Yang Ada Semua Ciri-ciri Ini?\u00a0\n\n\nSebenarnya, tidak ada kereta yang dibina khusus untuk meredah air banjir yang dalam. Trak, lori, dan pacuan empat roda pun tidak akan terselamat seandainya ia terperangkap dalam air banjir yang dalam.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nKereta 4\u00d74 Pickup Truck atau \u2018Hailak\u2019 Paling Popular 2021 di Malaysia\n\n\n\n\nKalau anda nak kereta anda selamat, lebih baik anda jangan beranikan diri dan ambil risiko meredah air banjir dengan kereta anda. Kecuali anda ada duit yang banyak untuk baiki kerosakan yang bakal terjadi atau beli kereta baharu terus.\u00a0\n\n\nLagi-lagi kalau kereta anda merupakan kereta premium yang \u2018manja\u2019 dan tak boleh didedahkan dengan air banjir. Harga alat ganti kereta jenis ini juga tidak murah dan kita tak bincang lagi tentang kos upah dan pembaikian.\u00a0\n\n\nYang Lebih Penting Daripada Kereta Anda\n\n\nAnda nak tahu tak kereta yang seberat dua tan itu sebenarnya sangat mudah untuk dihanyutkan oleh air banjir yang cuma setinggi 30 cm sahaja? Meskipun sarat dengan muatan, kereta masih lagi boleh dihanyutkan oleh air banjir sekiranya arus cukup kuat.\u00a0\n\n\nDisebabkan itulah, sangat-sangat tidak digalakkan untuk anda meredah air banjir kerana dikhuatiri kereta anda boleh dihanyutkan oleh air banjir daripada kawasan cetek ke banjir yang lebih dalam.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBanyak kejadian yang melibatkan orang meninggal dunia di dalam \nkereta yang dihanyutkan oleh air banjir\n dan anda tak nak termasuk dalam jumlah mangsa yang meninggal dunia akibat bencana banjir!\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nPerkara Yang Anda Perlu Lakukan Sekiranya Kereta Terjunam Ke Dalam Air\n\n\nJaga nyawa anda dahulu sebelum anda kisahkan tentang kereta anda. Seandainya anda terperangkap di dalam banjir. Jangan sesekali cuba untuk meredah air banjir terutama sekali jika air banjir tinggi lebih 30 cm.\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk musim monsun dan musim hujan yang sedang berlangsung ini, sila jaga diri anda terutama sekali jika anda terpaksa memandu dalam hujan. Sentiasa peka dengan amaran cuaca dan banjir dan rancang perjalanan anda supaya anda tidak terperangkap di dalam banjir.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nCara Pemanduan Selamat Ketika Musim Hujan\n\n\nCARSOME Menjamin Ketenangan Minda Anda\u00a0\n\n\nDi CARSOME, kami sentiasa dibanjiri oleh pelbagai pilihan kereta daripada puluhan jenama kereta terkenal.

Fasal pengecualian ini seperti disalah guna oleh syarikat penyedia servis parkir untuk tidak bertanggungjawab walaupun anda sebagai pengguna telah pun membayar untuk parkir di situ.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nHati-hati! Kereta Sewa Murah Kini Jadi Sasaran Pencuri Kereta. Axia Pun Dah Tak Selamat!\n\n\nJadi, andai kata anda dah parkir di situ dan katakanlah kereta anda dirosakkan atau dicuri semasa diparkir di situ, maknanya pengurusan parkir tidak akan bertanggungjawab untuk sebarang kerosakan yang telah berlaku terhadap kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\nTapi bergunakah fasal pengecualian ini dalam melindungi tempat parkir daripada bertanggungjawab terhadap kereta yang diletakkan di premis mereka? Tak juga.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTahukah anda bahawa sebenarnya sudah ada kes tuntutan daripada syarikat penyedia parkir daripada mangsa yang keretanya dicuri?\u00a0\n\n\nKes ini pun dah berlaku lama dahulu, pada tahun 2016. Di antara sebuah syarikat sewa kereta (plaintif) dan juga syarikat penyedia parkir (defendan).\u00a0\n\n\nKronologi Kes\u00a0\n\n\nIni bermula apabila seorang warga Perancis menyewa sebuah kereta daripada syarikat sewa kereta dan kereta yang disewa itu diparkir di sebuah bangunan perumahan.\n\n\nDua hari kemudian, mangsa keluar untuk beredar tetapi terkejut kerana kereta yang diparkir hilang. Sudah tentu mangsa akan kaget kerana kereta yang dipandu itu bukan miliknya tetapi kereta yang cuma disewa.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBagaimana kereta tersebut boleh melepasi palang yang ada di pintu keluar? Selepas melihat rakaman CCTV, kereta tersebut melepasi palang dengan mengikut rapat kereta lain yang keluar daripada kawasan parkir. Palang keselamatan juga turun terlalu perlahan sehingga pencuri berjaya melepasi palang dengan kereta mangsa.\u00a0\n\n\nDisebabkan pihak pengurusan bangunan tidak mahu bertanggungjawab dengan kehilangan ini, syarikat kereta sewa bertindak menyaman pengurusan tempat parkir kerana mengabaikan aspek keselamatan hingga menyebabkan ada kereta yang dicuri.\u00a0\n\n\nFasal Pengecualian \u2018Lesen\u2019 Nak Larikan Diri\n\n\nJadi, apa kesudahan kes ini?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSetelah lebih setahun, mahkamah akhirnya membuat keputusan mengarahkan defendan untuk membayar sejumlah ganti rugi kepada plaintif. Hujahnya? Agak panjang tapi apa yang boleh kami ringkaskan adalah:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n Mahkamah mengabaikan fasal pengecualian kerana ia tidak adil kepada pengguna. Pelanggan plaintif juga tidak perasan akan fasal ini menyebabkan fasal ini tidak sah.\n\n\n Palang keselamatan yang mengambil masa untuk tertutup menyebabkan pencuri berjaya lari. Ini berpunca daripada kecuaian defendan.\u00a0\n\n\n Telah wujudnya hubungan bailor-baili di mana baili (syarikat pengurusan) wajib menjaga harta milik bailor (syarikat kereta sewa) hingga ia dituntut kembali oleh bailor.\u00a0\n\n\n Tiada bukti menunjukkan bahawa bailor tidak lalai dalam memastikan keselamatan tempat parkir.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAtas sebab hujah-hujah ini, mahkamah telah membuktikan bahawa adanya kecuaian daripada pihak syarikat pengurusan dan fasal pengecualian bukan lagi pilihan yang ada untuk mereka lari daripada tanggungjawab.\u00a0\n\n\nPeraturan Yang Langgar Akta Pengguna?\n\n\nTak kiralah apa yang terjadi, sama ada kereta anda dirosakkan (oleh orang atau disebabkan bencana alam) atau hilang semasa diparkir di kawasan parkir persendirian, frasa pengecualian ini tidak sepatutnya dijadikan alasan untuk pengusaha tempat parkir untuk lepas tangan selepas apa yang terjadi.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIngat lagi lapan hak pengguna? Ia merupakan hak yang boleh dituntut oleh pengguna apabila mendapatkan perkhidmatan atau membeli sesuatu barangan. Rujuk kepada hak kedua di mana:\u00a0\n\n\n\u2018\nPengguna berhak untuk dilindungi daripada barangan, proses pengeluaran dan perkhidmatan yang boleh membahayakan kesihatan atau kehidupan.\u2019\n\n\nHak ini termaktub berdasarkan Akta Perlindungan Pengguna 1999 \nyang memperuntukkan bahawa mana-mana syarikat yang menawarkan perkhidmatan kepada pengguna hendaklah memastikan keselamatan yang munasabah kepada pengguna, jika tidak pihak tersebut boleh didenda dan terdedah kepada tindakan saman sivil oleh pengguna.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nWanita Jangan Keluar Rumah Atau Memandu Kalau Tak Buat Perkara Ini!\n\n\nHak ini juga menjamin pengguna daripada menjadi mangsa \u2018buli\u2019 kepada perniagaan atau syarikat yang cuba untuk lari daripada tanggungjawab memastikan pengguna berasa selamat sepanjang mendapatkan atau menggunakan sebarang servis atau produk.\u00a0\n\n\nJika ada kejadian seperti kecurian atau kerosakan kereta di tempat parkir persendirian, jangan berdiam diri! Minta nasihat guaman daripada mana-mana peguam ataupun daripada \nJabatan Bantuan Guaman Malaysia\n. Anda juga boleh buat tuntutan daripada Tribunal Tuntutan Pengguna Malaysia jika nilai tuntutan anda kurang daripada RM50,000.\u00a0\n\n\nCara Untuk Jaga Kereta Sepanjang Diparkir\u00a0\n\n\nKita tak boleh bergantung sepenuhnya kepada pengurusan parkir untuk menjaga kenderaan anda. Jadi, apa yang anda boleh buat? Nampak gayanya anda kena adakan inisiatif sendiri untuk pastikan kereta anda selamat di mana saja ia diparkir.\u00a0\n\n\nApa yang boleh anda buat? Anda boleh ikuti langkah ini:\u00a0\n\n\n1. Pasang Peranti Penjejak\u00a0\n\n\nPeranti penjejak boleh digunakan untuk menjejak di mana kenderaan anda berada. Harganya bergantung kepada keperluan anda. Ada yang dijual serendah RM10 seunit di laman Shopee. Ada juga yang lebih canggih di mana ia bukan saja boleh menjejak keduduk kenderaan anda, malah ia boleh memberitahu anda sekiranya kenderaan anda dihidupkan tanpa kunci anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAntara peranti penjejak yang popular? Apple Airtag (bukan ditaja). Harganya juga agak berpatutan dengan ciri yang mudah untuk digunakan.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau tak mampu, beli saja yang murah dan letakkan di bahagian kereta yang sukar untuk dicapai. Jangan risau, kebanyakan alat penjejak ini tidak memerlukan bateri untuk berfungsi. Asalkan ia bersambung dengan telefon pintar anda, anda boleh mengesan kenderaan anda di mana-mana saja pada bila-bila masa.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Sorokkan Barangan Berharga\u00a0\n\n\nSama ada anda akan parkir lama atau sekejap, jangan tinggalkan barangan berharga seperti komputer riba atau beg tangan di dalam kereta sehingga ia kelihatan daripada tingkap kereta. Bawa sekali dengan anda sekalipun anda ingin singgah sekejap.\u00a0\n\n\nIa mungkin akan menarik perhatian pencuri. Nanti tak pasal-pasal tingkap anda berlubang dan pecah dan semua barang berharga yang anda simpan dirembat oleh pencuri!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAnda boleh letakkannya di bahagian yang tersorok seperti di bawah kerusi ataupun di dalam but kereta. Yang penting, jangan letakkan di bahagian tempat duduk sehingga ia boleh kelihatan daripada tingkap kereta.\n\n\n3. Pasang Tint Tingkap\n\n\nSelain daripada mengurangkan suhu kereta, tint tingkap juga sebenarnya boleh mengelakkan kejadian pecah kereta daripada berlaku. Selain menjadikan tingkap tidak boleh dilihat tembus, tint tingkap juga sebenarnya boleh mengukuhkan cermin tingkap kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCermin tingkap kereta akan jadi lebih susah untuk dipecahkan kerana telah diperkuat oleh tint tingkap. Sudah tentu jenis tint tingkap juga memainkan peranan. Kalau anda pasang tint tingkap berjenama dan premium, jaminan perlindungan itu akan ada. Tapi kalau anda pasang tint tingkap yang berharga RM30 untuk empat tingkap, jangan mimpilah ia akan bertahan lama.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Pastikan Insurans Kereta Anda Turut Lindungi Kejadian Kecurian\n\n\nPeriksa kembali premium insurans kereta anda. Pastikan ia turut melindungi kereta anda sekiranya ia dicuri (yang bukan disebabkan kecuaian anda). Jika belum, jika anda ingin perbaharui insurans kereta yang baharu, pastikan anda tambahkan sekali.\u00a0\n\n\nWalaupun mungkin premium insurans anda akan jadi sedikit mahal, sekurang-kurangnya ia boleh menyelamatkan anda sekiranya kereta anda dicuri.\u00a0\n\n\n5. Parkir di Tempat Yang Cerah Dan Elakkan Kawasan Yang Tersorok\u00a0\n\n\nPilih tempat parkir anda dengan betul. Jangan parkir di tempat yang agak jauh dan gelap.

Sekiranya berdepan situasi sebegini, kebanyakan pemilik kenderaan menjadi panik dan tidak dapat berfikir dengan baik. Biasanya apabila kereta mati tiba-tiba, pelbagai kemungkinan lain akan terlintas dalam fikiran \u2013 kos pembaikan, punca kerosakan dan macam-macam lagi. Perkara pertama yang perlu anda lakukan apabila kereta rosak tepi jalan ialah berfikir dan bertindak dengan cepat untuk mengelakkan sebarang risiko bahaya.\n\n\n\n\n4 Langkah Penting Perlu Anda Lakukan Jika Kereta Rosak Tepi Jalan\n\n\nApakah yang perlu anda lakukan jika kereta rosak tepi jalan? Apakah yang perlu dilakukan untuk mengelakkan kerosakan ini menjadi lebih serius? Secara amnya, situasi kereta rosak merupakan salah satu situasi yang menjengkelkan lebih-lebih lagi anda sedang dalam perjalanan untuk bercuti panjang. Bayangkan dalam keterujaan untuk \ncuti panjang hujung minggu\n, tiba-tiba sahaja\n tayar kereta pancit\n atau \nenjin kereta berasap \nsudah semestinya ia akan mengganggu mood percutian anda. CARSOME menyenaraikan empat (4) langkah penting sekiranya kereta mati tiba-tiba yang boleh anda amalkan seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Perlahankan Kenderaan, Berhenti di Lokasi Selamat\n\n\nSekiranya anda mengesan sesuatu yang tidak kena pada kereta anda, perkara pertama yang perlu dititikberatkan ialah keselamatan anda serta penumpang. Segera berhentikan kereta anda di bahu jalan dengan selamat atau kawasan yang mudah dilihat (tidak terlindung).\u00a0Jika boleh, berhentikan kereta anda di lokasi tumpuan ramai seperti stesen minyak atau kawasan cerah (jika kerosakan berlaku pada waktu malam) untuk keselamatan anda.\n\n\nNyatakan Lokasi Anda\n\n\nSetelah anda berhentikan kereta, segera naikkan brek tangan dan maklumkan lokasi anda dengan segera kepada ahli keluarga atau kenalan anda. Kenal pasti sebarang \npapan tanda\n, penanda aras atau persimpangan jalan berhampiran anda. Anda mungkin memerlukan maklumat ini untuk menghubungi bantuan.\n\n\n2. Pastikan Kenderaan Anda Boleh Dilihat\n\n\nSelepas anda berjaya berhentikan kenderaan di lokasi yang selamat, anda perlu pastikan kenderaan anda boleh dilihat dan tidak terlindung daripada pandangan pemandu lain. Anda boleh amalkan langkah-langkah berikut bagi membantu pemandu lain menyedari kehadiran anda, mengakses situasi bagi memberi ruang yang diperlukan kepada mereka untuk bertindak sekiranya berlaku situasi yang tidak dijangka.\n\n\nNyalakan Lampu \nHazard\n\n\nLampu bahaya atau \nhazard lights\n boleh bertindak sebagai amaran kepada pemandu lain bahawa kenderaan anda sedang mengalami masalah atau kerosakan. Tekan butang besar berbentuk segi tiga berwarna oren atau merah yang biasanya boleh didapati pada bahagian konsol tengah \ndashboard\n kereta untuk mengaktifkannya.\n\n\nBuka Bonet Depan Kereta\n\n\nBonet hadapan kereta yang terbuka juga boleh bertindak sebagai isyarat kecemasan kepada pemandu lain bahawa kereta anda sedang rosak atau mengalami kemalangan. Meksipun begitu, pastikan anda berada di lokasi yang selamat dan sesuai untuk berbuat demikian.\n\n\nPakai Jaket Pantul Cahaya\n\n\nJika anda mempunyai jaket atau pakaian pemantul cahaya, pastikan anda memakainya semasa anda berada di luar kenderaan terutamanya pada waktu malam. Pakaian sebegini boleh membantu pemandu lain untuk melihat anda dengan lebih jelas. Selain itu, pastikan anda berada atau berdiri di kedudukan yang mudah dilihat, tidak terselindung dan sebagainya.\n\n\nKit Kecemasan Wajib Ada\n\n\nSebelum memulakan perjalanan, pastikan anda menyediakan kit kecemasan yang boleh membantu anda sekiranya kereta tiba-tiba mati di tepi jalan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpanar, \njack\n kereta\n dan kelengkapan biasa yang sesuai untuk situasi kerosakan kecil seperti tayar bocor, pecah;\n\n\nPeti pertolongan cemas untuk merawat luka kecil;\n\n\nMakanan ringan seperti air botol, bar granola, gula-gula, buah-buahan kering dan sebagainya;\n\n\nItem-item wajib ada dalam kereta\n \nseperti kabel \njumper\n, \npowerbank\n dan sebagainya.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLetakkan Segi Tiga Amaran atau Kon\n\n\nSelain itu, segera letakkan segi tiga amaran (warning triangle kit) kira-kira 45 meter dari arah belakang kereta anda. Tanda amaran ini berfungsi untuk memberi amaran ada kecemasan atau kerosakan di hadapan kepada pemandu lain, dan membolehkan pemandu lain untuk memperlahankan kenderaan dan berjaga-jaga, atau bertindak jika perlu.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \n11 Checklist Servis Kereta Sebelum dan Selepas Road Trip yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\n3. Segera Dapatkan Bantuan\n\n\nSekiranya kereta mati tiba-tiba, kekal tenang dan jangan panik untuk mengelakkan anda ditipu atau dimanipulasi oleh sesetengah pihak yang mungkin mengambil kesempatan ke atas kesusahan anda. Anda boleh mempertimbangkan pertolongan daripada pihak-pihak berikut:\n\n\nPihak Polis\n\n\nHubungi pihak polis untuk dapatkan bantuan terutamanya apabila kereta anda rosak di tengah jalan atau menghalang lalu lintas yang boleh menyebabkan kemalangan atau perlanggaran. Ia bagi membolehkan pegawai berkaitan dikerahkan ke lokasi bagi mengawal aliran lalu lintas dengan segera.\n\n\nPeronda Lebuh Raya, atau PLUS Ronda\n\n\nSekiranya kereta rosak di lebuh raya, hubungi PLUS Ronda bagi mendapatkan perkhidmatan lori tunda. Pengguna lebuh raya boleh menggunakan perkhidmatan lori tunda oleh pengendali lebuh raya secara percuma ke plaza tol berhampiran. Anda boleh lakukan perkara berikut sekiranya berdepan situasi ini:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHubungi talian hotline pengendali lebuh raya \u2013 cth: Nombor telefon PLUS RONDA, Lebuhraya PLUS: 1800 88 0000;\n\n\nMaklumkan lokasi kilometer (tanda kilometer biasanya terletak di bahagian tepi sepanjang lebuh raya);\n\n\nNyatakan jenis kenderaan, \nnombor pendaftaran kenderaan\n termasuk jenis kerosakan kereta;\n\n\nNyatakan juga nombor telefon untuk dihubungi.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSyarikat Insurans\n\n\nSetelah kereta anda selamat ditunda oleh syarikat konsesi lebuh raya plaza tol terdekat, segera hubungi syarikat \ninsurans kereta\n anda untuk mendapatkan perkhidmatan lori tunda percuma ke bengkel kereta terdekat atau bengkel panel insurans berhampiran. Biasanya, pihak insurans menetapkan jarak percuma sehingga 200km atau lebih, bergantung pada polisi insurans kereta anda.

Kenal Pasti Masalah, Kerosakan\n\n\nSekiranya kereta anda berhenti di lokasi yang selamat atau berada dalam jarak yang selamat dari jalan raya, lakukan penilaian masalah atau punca kerosakan kereta anda. Keluar melalui pintu yang bertentangan dari jalan raya atau melalui pintu tempat duduk penumpang, jika perlu. Lakukan pemeriksaan pantas untuk mengenal pasti punca kereta tiba-tiba mati atau rosak seperti berikut:\n\n\nLihat \ud83d\udc40\n\n\nPerhatikan sama ada terdapat sebarang \npaku pada tayar kereta\n, \nenjin kereta berasap\n atau minyak hitam bocor pada bahagian bawah kereta. Perhatikan juga sama ada \nlampu amaran kereta\n pada \ndashboard\n berkelip-kelip atau menyala tidak seperti kebiasaan.\n\n\nDengar \n\ud83d\udc42\n\n\nKenal pasti sebarang bunyi pelik pada kereta anda \u2013 \nbunyi dentung, bunyi bergesel, bunyi berdengung atau bunyi bersiul \nmisalnya menandakan ada masalah serius berlaku pada kereta anda. Bunyi yang tidak normal ini secara tidak langsung memberi amaran kerosakan komponen tertentu dalam kenderaan.\n\n\nBau \ud83d\udc43\n\n\nSalah satu kaedah yang biasa dilakukan untuk mengenal pasti masalah kereta adalah melalui bau. \nKereta bau terbakar\n, \nkereta bau hangit\n menandakan kemungkinan masalah enjin atau pembakaran dalaman enjin yang tidak baik, selain kemungkinan \nbrek kereta rosak\n.\n\n\n\n\nTips Anda Boleh Amalkan untuk Elak Kereta Tiba-tiba Mati, Kereta Rosak Tepi Jalan\n\n\nSecara amnya, kereta yang diselenggara secara berkala boleh membantu mengelakkan kerosakan dan masalah yang tidak dijangka. Cara terbaik untuk mengelakkan situasi kereta tiba-tiba mati adalah dengan menyelenggara atau melakukan servis kereta secara berkala. Lakukan pemeriksaan \nparas minyak hitam\n, \nminyak \ngearbox\n kereta\n, brek pad kereta, \ntekanan tayar kereta\n, \nlampu kereta\n antara lain terutamanya \nsebelum melakukan aktiviti \nroadtrip\n.\n\n\nSimpan rekod penyelenggaraan\n yang dilakukan dalam buku rekod penyelenggaraan kereta anda. Rekod sebegini penting bagi mengelakkan anda daripada terlupa disebabkan oleh rutin kehidupan yang sibuk. Ia juga boleh membantu anda kekalkan \nharga jualan kereta yang tinggi\n lebih-lebih lagi jika anda ambil keputusan untuk\n jual kereta lama\n anda.\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda ingin\n beli kereta terpakai\n, anda disarankan untuk biasakan diri anda dengan panduan lengkap dan \ntips beli kereta terpakai\n \nuntuk mengelakkan anda daripada tertipu atau beli kereta terpakai tidak berkualiti.

Apabila pemilik kereta perasan ada sesuatu yang tak kena (biasanya apabila kereta yang disewakan tidak dipulangkan mengikut masa), penjenayah sebenarnya dah kaya dengan menjual kereta yang dicuri di pasaran gelap tempatan dan luar negara dan sempat lagi untuk hilangkan jejak mereka.\u00a0\n\n\nKereta Besar Dan Kecil \u2013 Makin Banyak Yang \u2018Hilang\u2019\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk sekian lamanya, modus operasi sebelum ini hanya menyasarkan \nkereta mewah\n dan nampaknya sindiket ini sudah mula menyasarkan kereta yang biasanya dimiliki oleh orang ramai.\n\n\n\n\nSumber: Kereta Sewa Kota Bharu\n\n\nPada awalnya, hanya syarikat kereta sewa saja yang menjadi mangsa sindiket ini dan kemudiannya pemilik kereta persendirian yang mendaftarkan kereta mereka sebagai \nkereta sewa\n k\ne beberapa laman dan aplikasi untuk menyewakan kereta mereka kepada orang yang tidak dikenali turut menjadi mangsa. Ada laporan yang menyatakan sebuah Perodua Axia dicuri oleh penyewa yang telah mengubah suainya untuk mengelakkan daripada dikesan sebelum dijual di negeri lain.\u00a0\n\n\nKenapa Masih Berleluasa?\u00a0\n\n\nSebenarnya, risiko jenayah ini agak rendah (selagi tidak ditangkap) bagi si penjenayah. Kalau bagi persoalan kenapa kegiatan ini masih berleluasa di Malaysia, jawapannya cukup mudah \u2013 permintaan yang makin meningkat.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKereta yang dicuri ini akan dilabel dengan gelaran seperti \u2018piang\u2019, \u2018JT\u2019 atau \u2018Jalan Terus\u2019, \u2018lari bank\u2019 dan risiko tinggi memandu kereta ini terus ditutup dengan harga runtuh yang ditawarkan sindiket ini.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\u00a0\nIni Merupakan Kawasan Parkir Yang Diharamkan Tapi Masih Ramai Yang Degil!\n\n\nPemikiran seperti ini sangat tidak digalakkan tapi permintaan daripada keinginan untuk memiliki kereta menyebabkan penjenayah mengambil kesempatan dalam situasi ini. Ada juga sindiket yang menawarkan \u2018manfaat tambahan\u2019 seperti pertukaran maklumat, tukar nombor pendaftaran, geran baharu, dan banyak lagi untuk mengelakkan kereta ini ditarik atau dikesan pihak berkuasa.\u00a0\n\n\nCumanya bagi sebahagian orang, biarpun memandu dan memiliki kereta ini ada risiko kerana dianggap \u2018barang panas\u2019 tetapi dengan harga yang ditawarkan bagi kereta ini, ia adalah satu tawaran yang susah nak ditolak. \u2018Nak hidup, pandai-pandailah\u2019, kata orang.\u00a0\n\n\nApa Tindakan Pihak Berkuasa?\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk kebanyakan kes, \npihak berkuasa\n akan bertindak terhadap sebarang laporan kereta curi. Mengikut laporan \nThe Star\n, ada syarikat sewa kereta yang berhadapan dengan situasi yang genting apabila cuba mendapatkan kembali kereta sewa milik mereka telah dicuri.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBerdasarkan laporan, proses untuk melaporkan kereta yang telah dicuri sebenarnya tak mudah kerana pemilik kereta diarahkan untuk berurusan terlebih dahulu dengan penyewa (baca:pencuri) kerana telah melanggar kontrak ketika menyewa kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nSekarang, anda boleh mencari dengan mudah kereta curi ini yang diiklankan dalam talian dan juga secara terang-terangan di media sosial dengan label \u2018piang\u2019, \u2018JT, \u2018Jalan Terus, \u2018lari bank\u2019, dan banyak lagi. Dan ya, ada orang yang membeli kereta ini walaupun sangat berisiko tinggi untuk memiliki kereta ini.\u00a0\n\n\nApa Yang Kita Boleh Buat?\n\n\nSama seperti perkara lain dalam perniagaan, kita boleh putuskan bekalan jika kita hapuskan permintaan. Tiada permintaan bermakna tiada pembekalan. Pihak berkuasa dan kerajaan juga sepatutnya lebih tangkas dalam menangani kes-kes ini.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWalaupun kereta curi ini dijual pada harga yang tak masuk akal murahnya, ia langsung tak berbaloi dengan risiko membayar denda atau dipenjarakan seterusnya menjahanamkan hidup anda kerana tindakan melulu yang dibuat. Nasihat kami? Beli saja kereta pramilik berkualiti yang sah seperti kereta CARSOME Certified.\u00a0\n\n\nSeperti kata pepatah, \u2018Buat baik berpada-pada, buat jahat jangan sesekali\u2019!\n\n\n\u00a0\n*Artikel ini merupakan terjemahan daripada artikel asal \u201c\nCar Thieves Targetting Rental Cars, Including Affordable Models\n\u201d yang diterbitkan di laman Carlist. \n\n", "Ahmad Azwadie Azman", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Masalah sebegini biasanya terjadi secara tiba-tiba.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSenarai Kandungan\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKenapa Kereta Tak Boleh \nStart\n?\n\n\nKereta Tak Boleh \nStart\n \u2013 Baiki Sendiri Kereta\n\n\nKedudukan Gear Kereta\n\n\nBateri Kereta Habis \n\n\nBateri Kereta Kong\n\n\nKereta Tak Boleh \nStart\n \u2013 Hantar Ke Bengkel\u00a0\n\n\nAlternator\n\n\nPalam Pencucuh\n\n\nCrank Sensor Rosak\n\n\nECU Rosak\n\n\nStarter\n Rosak\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStart Kereta Tak Hidup: \nKenapa Kereta Tak Boleh \nStart\n?\n\n\nSituasi kereta tak boleh \nstart\n atau kereta sukar dihidupkan merupakan antara masalah yang biasa berlaku. Secara amnya, banyak punca yang boleh menyebabkan masalah kereta tak boleh \nstart\n berlaku.\u00a0\n\n\nDalam kes-kes tertentu, situasi ini disebabkan oleh masalah biasa yang boleh dibaiki dengan sendiri. Namun dalam situasi permasalah yang sedikit \ncomplicated\n, anda perlu menghantar kereta ke bengkel untuk diperiksa.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPunca kereta tak boleh \nstart\n boleh dibahagikan kepada dua jenis iaitu\u2013 boleh dibaiki sendiri di rumah atau perlu diperiksa di bengkel.\n\n\nKereta Tak Boleh\n Start \u2013 \nBaiki Sendiri Kereta\n\n\nJika kereta anda tidak boleh dihidupkan, anda boleh periksa sendiri kereta anda untuk mengetahui punca-puncanya. Berikut merupakan antara punca kereta sukar untuk dihidupkan yang boleh dilakukan sendiri secara DIY di rumah:\n\n\n1. Gear Pada Kedudukan \u2018D\u2019\n\n\nWalaupun kedengaran agak kelakar, kes sebegini biasa berlaku dalam kalangan pengguna kereta. Mereka beranggapan bahawa kereta mereka sukar untuk dihidupkan disebabkan oleh masalah bateri \u2018kong\u2019, tetapi sebenarnya disebabkan oleh kedudukan gear yang salah.\u00a0\n\n\nSituasi sebegini biasa berlaku kerana pemandu tergesa-gesa atau ingin cepat sehingga terlupa meletakkan gear pada kedudukan \u2018P\u2019 semasa parkir kereta. Jika anda menggunakan kereta dengan transmisi automatik dan kereta anda tiba-tiba tidak boleh dihidupkan, perkara pertama yang boleh anda lakukan ialah periksa kedudukan gear kereta anda terlebih dahulu untuk kepastian.\n\n\n2. Bateri Kereta Habis atau Lemah\n\n\nBateri kereta berfungsi membekalkan kuasa elektrik untuk menghidupkan enjin kereta. Kebanyakan kereta moden hari ini dilengkapi dengan pelbagai peralatan elektronik seperti sensor, radio, skrin LCD dan sebagainya yang meningkatkan penggunaan bateri kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nMasalah kereta tak boleh \nstart\n biasanya berpunca daripada bateri kereta telah habis atau sudah lemah. Biasanya, bateri kereta akan menunjukkan\n \ntanda bateri kereta\n semakin melemah selepas 12 hingga 15 bulan penggunaan.\n\n\nAnda boleh tahu punca kereta tak boleh\n start\n melalui bunyi yang dihasilkan \u2013 kereta tak boleh dihidupkan bunyi \u2018tik\u2026tik\u2026\u2019 atau \u2018tak\u2026tak\u2026\u2019. Masalah bateri ini berlaku mungkin disebabkan oleh pemilik kenderaan terlupa untuk mematikan lampu kereta atau kereta telah tersadai lama.\u00a0\n\n\nWalau bagaimanapun, sekiranya bateri masih lagi baharu tapi kereta tetap tak boleh\n \ndihidupkan (kurang daripada setahun), anda mungkin boleh cuba untuk \njump start\n bateri kereta. Pastikan anda mengamalkan\n \ncara \njumper\n bateri kereta yang betul\n \nuntuk mengelakkan litar pintas.\n\n\n3. Bateri Rosak\n\n\nAda kemungkinan situasi ini berlaku disebabkan oleh bateri rosak . Biasanya, bateri kereta diberikan waranti minimum selama setahun atau 25,000 km. Sekiranya penggunaan bateri kurang daripada setahun dan jarak pemanduan kurang daripada 25,000 km, anda boleh menuntut waranti bateri daripada bengkel atau pusat servis. Anda disarankan untuk menyimpan resit pembelian sebagai bukti untuk proses tuntutan waranti.\n\n\nTetapi sekiranya bateri kereta sudah lama (lebih daripada setahun), besar kemungkinan bateri kereta anda perlu digantikan kerana sudah habis. Anda boleh mencabut bateri kereta dan mengecas bateri kereta tersebut di bengkel berdekatan.\u00a0\n\n\nWalaupun telah dicas, bateri yang sudah berusia akan menjadi lemah semula selepas beberapa hari. Dapatkan nasihat mekanik anda. Mekanik akan memeriksa sama ada bateri kereta perlu digantikan atau tidak dengan menggunakan alatan khas.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nTanda Bateri Kereta Kong, Tip Penjagaan Bateri Kereta Anda Perlu Tahu\n\n\nKereta Tak Boleh\n Start \u2013 \nBawa Kereta ke Bengkel untuk Pemeriksaan\n\n\nNamun begitu, jika kerosakan yang ada terlalu serius, anda disarankan untuk membawa kereta anda ke bengkel berdekatan untuk pemeriksaan lanjut. Cara ini juga dapat mengelakkan anda daripada mengeluarkan belanja yang lebih besar sekiranya kerosakan yang lebih serius berlaku.\n\n\n1. Alternator Rosak\n\n\nJika bateri kereta anda telah \u2018habis\u2019 walaupun anda baru sahaja menggantikan bateri baharu, besar kemungkinan alternator kereta anda sudah rosak. Secara amnya, alternator memainkan peranan yang penting dalam sistem operasi kenderaan, ia berfungsi membekalkan cas elektrik kepada komponen kereta seperti radio, lampu, \nwiper\n dan sebagainya selain mengecas semula bateri dan menukarkan tenaga mekanikal kepada tenaga elektrik.\n\n\nTanda Alternator Rosak\n\n\nBerikut merupakan antara tanda-tanda yang boleh membantu anda mengesan alternator kereta yang rosak:\n\n\n\n\nLampu amaran simbol bateri menyala.\n\n\nLampu utama atau lampu hadapan kereta menjadi malap.\n\n\nBateri kereta kong.\n\n\nBunyi pelik tidak seperti kebiasaan di bahagian enjin atau terdapat bau getah terbakar.\n\n\nTiada masalah kerosakan atau sambungan terminal bateri yang longgar, tetapi bateri masih kehilangan kuasa.\n\n\n\n\nAlternator yang rosak boleh menyebabkan kereta tidak boleh dihidupkan. Bawa kereta anda ke bengkel atau kedai bateri berhampiran untuk pemeriksaan. Bacaan\n \nvoltan\n \ndan arus elektrik akan dilakukan untuk mengetahui sama ada alternator kereta berada dalam keadaan baik atau tidak \u2013 \nundervoltage\n atau\n overvoltage\n menandakan tahap kerosakan alternator kereta anda.\n\n\n2. Palam Pencucuh atau \nSpark Plug\n Rosak\n\n\nPalam pencucuh atau\n spark plug\n boleh dianggap sebagai \nunsung hero\n dalam komponen kereta. Ia merupakan komponen penting dalam sistem pembakaran kereta yang berfungsi menyalakan campuran udara dan bahan bakar dalam silinder enjin kereta anda sekali gus membolehkan kereta anda boleh dihidupkan dan bergerak.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJika kereta anda tidak boleh dihidupkan, ini bermakna palam pencucuh mungkin mengalami masalah. Pemeriksaan \nspark plug\n secara berkala penting untuk mengelakkan kerosakan yang lebih serius. Harga untuk penggantian \nspark plug\n kereta bergantung pada jenis dan model kereta.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nNikel Atau Iridium: Palam Pencucuh Yang Mana Sesuai Untuk Kereta Anda\n\n\nBerikut merupakan antara tanda-tanda yang boleh membantu anda mengesan kerosakan \nspark plug\n kereta anda:\n\n\n\n\nPembakaran enjin tidak stabil terutama semasa berhenti (\nidling\n).\n\n\nEnjin berbunyi bising dan tidak seperti kebiasaan.\n\n\nEnjin sukar untuk dihidupkan terutamanya pada waktu pagi.\n\n\nPenggunaan bahan api yang tinggi.\n\n\nEnjin mengalami pembakaran yang tidak sekata (\nmisfires\n).\n\n\nKuasa pecutan berkurangan, enjin semput.\n\n\n\n\nKebiasaannya, penggantian komponen ini akan dilakukan setelah mengambil kira saranan daripada mekanik terutamanya apabila keadaan elektrod pada \nspark plug\n terlalu berminyak atau tebal dengan karbon. Secara purata, jangka hayat \nspark plug\n boleh bertahan sehingga 45,000 km atau perlu digantikan setiap empat hingga lima kali penyelenggaraan enjin.\u00a0\n\n\nNamun begitu, jangka hayat ini mungkin berkurangan bergantung pada cara pemanduan. Cara pemanduan yang lebih agresif boleh menyebabkan pembentukan minyak dan karbon yang lebih cepat berbanding pemanduan biasa.\n\n\n3. \nCrank Sensor\n Enjin Kereta Rosak\n\n\nSecara amnya, \ncrank sensor\n merupakan komponen elektronik yang digunakan dalam enjin pembakaran dalaman sama ada petrol atau diesel untuk memantau kedudukan dan kelajuan putaran\n crankshaft\n. Maklumat ini akan digunakan oleh sistem pengurusan enjin (\nEMS\n) untuk mengawal suntikan bahan bakar atau pemasaan sistem pencucuhan dan parameter enjin yang lain.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nOleh sebab itu, kegagalan pada sensor ini untuk menghantar isyarat dan maklumat yang tepat boleh menyebabkan proses pembakaran enjin terganggu sekali gus menyebabkan enjin kereta sukar untuk dihidupkan.\n\n\n4. ECU Kereta Tidak Berfungsi dengan Baik\n\n\nElectronic Control Unit\n (ECU) atau Unit Kawalan Elektronik kereta merupakan peranti kecil yang tersedia dalam kenderaan yang bertanggungjawab untuk mengawal fungsi-fungsi tertentu. Ia berfungsi mengawal sistem penting kenderaan antaranya kawalan enjin dan stereng kereta, tingkap kuasa, kunci pintu dan sebagainya termasuk beg udara dan sistem keselamatan asas seperti brek kecemasan automatik. Dalam erti kata lain, ECU kereta memainkan fungsi yang sama seperti CPU dalam komputer.\n\n\n\n\nSumber: How Stuff Works\n\n\nTanda ECU Kereta Rosak\n\n\nECU boleh diibaratkan seperti otak kereta yang berfungsi sebagai pusat kawalan yang mengawal aktiviti komponen elektronik kereta. Berikut merupakan antara tanda-tanda ECU kereta rosak untuk panduan dan rujukan anda:\n\n\n\n\nKereta sukar untuk dihidupkan.\n\n\nPeningkatan penggunaan bahan bakar atau petrol.\n\n\nKuasa enjin berkurangan.\n\n\nLampu amaran \ncheck engine\n menyala.\n\n\n\n\n5. Masalah \nStarter \nKereta Rosak\n\n\nStarter\n atau \nstarter\n kereta merupakan peranti elektrik yang digunakan untuk memutarkan (\ncrank\n) enjin pembakaran dalaman untuk memulakan operasi enjin dengan kuasanya sendiri. Sebaik sahaja enjin beroperasi, enjin akan memutuskan sambungan dengan komponen ini dan bergantung sepenuhnya pada proses pembakaran kereta. Ini bermaksud, \nstarter\n kereta secara amnya berfungsi menghidupkan kereta dan menggerakkan\n \npiston dalam sistem pembakaran dalaman sehingga dapat beroperasi sendiri.\n\n\n\n\nSumber: Dubizzle\n\n\nKebiasaannya, bahagian enjin kereta akan menghasilkan bunyi \ncrank\n semasa kereta dihidupkan. Jika bunyi ini tidak kedengaran, besar kemungkinan \nstarter\n kereta anda mungkin sudah rosak dan perlu digantikan. Anda boleh mengesan tanda-tanda awal kerosakan\n starter\n kereta seperti berikut:\n\n\nTanda \nStarter \nKereta Rosak\n\n\nBerikut merupakan antara simptom\n starter\n kereta yang rosak untuk membantu memudahkan urusan anda:\n\n\n\n\nTiada pergerakan enjin atau apa-apa berlaku semasa enjin kereta dihidupkan. Dalam erti kata lain, kereta boleh \ndihidupkan \ntapi tak berfungsi\u2013 ada bunyi\n starter\n diaktifkan, tetapi enjin tidak beroperasi.\n\n\nKereta tak boleh\n start\n, tetapi lampu pada meter \ndashboard\n menyala.\n\n\nKereta menghasilkan\n \nbunyi pelik\n semasa dihidupkan \u2013 kereta tak boleh \nstart\n bunyi \u2018tik\u2026tik\u2026\u2019 atau kereta tak boleh \nstart\n bunyi \u2018tak\u2026tak\u2026\u2019.\n\n\nBahagian enjin kereta berasap atau berbau terbakar semasa menghidupkan enjin.\n\n\n\n\nSemoga perkongsian ini dapat membantu mengurangkan situasi panik atau setidak-tidaknya dapat menenangkan fikiran anda sekiranya berdepan dengan situasi kereta tidak boleh \nstart\n pada masa yang akan datang.\u00a0\n\n\nSekiranya anda berdepan dengan masalah ini nanti, apa kata anda hantarkan saja kereta anda ke Pusat Servis CARSOME jika anda berada di Ampang atau di Petaling Jaya.\u00a0\n\n\nKenapa Pusat Servis sepatutnya jadi pilihan anda? Pusat Servis CARSOME menjanjikan perkara berikut setiap kali anda datang untuk servis atau baiki kereta anda:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMekanik bertauliah\n\n\nAlat ganti tulen\n\n\nPengebilan telus\n\n\n\n\nBuat tempahan sekarang atau hadir terus ke cawangan Pusat Servis CARSOME di \nAmpang\n dan juga di \nPetaling Jaya\n sekarang!\u00a0\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda sedang merancang untuk\n \nmenjual kereta lama\n atau\n \nmembeli kereta terpakai\n, anda boleh \nmuat turun aplikasi CARSOME\n untuk info lanjut.

Antara kerugian yang terpaksa dihadapi adalah apabila ada kereta yang ditenggelami air banjir dan ada yang tak boleh dibaiki lagi. Ada juga \nkos membaiki kereta yang rosak disebabkan banjir\n lebih mahal daripada kereta itu sendiri! Tak ramai yang ada kereta untuk redah banjir yang sesuai.\n\n\n\n\nDi kawasan yang selalu terjadinya banjir, memiliki kereta seperti sedan, coupe, dan kompak adalah seperti satu perjudian. Kalau air naik terlalu tinggi, mungkin kereta yang rendah berisiko tinggi untuk ditenggelami air dan dan menyebabkan kereta boleh rosak teruk.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nTak \u2018Pantang\u2019 Punca Kereta Cepat Rosak\n.\n\n\nDisebabkan itulah, bagi mereka yang tinggal berhampiran kawasan yang mudah untuk terkena bencana banjir, anda mungkin patut mempertimbangkan menukar kereta anda kepada kereta yang lebih sesuai untuk menghadapi banjir.\u00a0\n\n\nAntara kereta untuk redah banjir yang sesuai ialah pacuan empat roda atau 4\u00d74. Mengapa trak pacuan empat roda sangat sesuai digunakan di tempat yang bencana selalu banjir berlaku? Ini antara sebabnya:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n1. Enjin Yang Berkuasa\u00a0\n\n\nDalam suasana banjir, keadaan jalan raya akan sama ada ditenggelami air ataupun diselaputi lumpur. Kereta sedan biasa tidak mampu untuk meredah jalan sebegini. Kerana itulah, trak pacuan empat roda sangat sesuai untuk keadaan sebegini.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPacuan empat roda biasanya dilengkapi dengan enjin yang lebih berkuasa.

Namun begitu, kita boleh melakukan persediaan untuk menghadapi sebarang kemungkinan yang tidak dapat dielakkan.\n\n\n\n\nBiasanya, kebanyakan situasi kereta rosak mesti akan berlaku bila anda memandu seorang diri ataupun ketika melalui kawasan gelap dengan liputan rangkaian telefon yang teruk. Sebab inilah anda disarankan untuk menyediakan aksesori kereta dan peralatan keselamatan dalam kereta anda sebelum bergerak ke mana-mana destinasi sebagai langkah pencegahan sekiranya berlaku insiden kecemasan.\n\n\n9 Aksesori Kereta & Peralatan Keselamatan yang Wajib Ada dalam Kenderaan\n\n\nKegagalan menyediakan aksesori kereta yang betul mungkin akan menyukarkan anda sekiranya berlaku sebarang situasi kecemasan. Oleh sebab itu, CARSOME menyenaraikan\u00a0 sembilan aksesori kereta yang perlu ada di dalam kenderaan anda sebelum anda memulakan perjalanan untuk membantu memberi sedikit kelegaan jika berlaku situasi sebegini kepada anda.\n\n\n1. Tukul Cermin Pelbagai Fungsi\n\n\nAlat keselamatan seperti \ntukul cermin\n adalah salah satu alatan penting yang anda perlu simpan dalam kereta. Ia boleh menyelamatkan nyawa anda sekiranya berlaku perkara yang tidak diingini seperti kereta anda terhumban ke dalam laut atau sungai.\n\n\n\n\nDalam situasi tersebut, kebiasaannya pintu kereta tidak boleh dibuka disebabkan oleh tekanan air yang tinggi. Oleh itu, tukul cermin diperlukan agar anda boleh memecahkan cermin dengan mudah untuk segera keluar dan menyelamatkan diri.\n\n\nJanganlah mudah terpengaruh dengan tindakan hero-hero filem aksi yang boleh memecahkan cermin kereta dengan senang tanpa menggunakan sebarang alatan. Silap-silap, tangan anda yang akan pecah nanti.\n\n\nKebanyakan tukul cermin yang dijual di pasaran disertakan dengan pelbagai fungsi yang memudahkan usaha anda untuk menyelamatkan diri. Contohnya seperti \nTukul Keselamatan Kereta 4 Dalam 1\n ini yang turut dilengkapi dengan pemotong tali pinggang keledar, lampu LED, dan juga lampu kecemasan.\n\n\n2. Alat Pemadam Api\n\n\nKebanyakan punca utama kebakaran yang melibatkan kenderaan moden adalah disebabkan masalah litar pintas. Jadi, \nalat pemadam api\n adalah aksesori keselamatan penting yang perlu ada dalam semua kenderaan. Ia bukan sahaja boleh digunakan untuk \nmemadamkan kebakaran\n yang melibatkan kereta anda, malah ia juga boleh digunakan untuk membantu mereka yang memerlukannya.\n\n\n\n\nJenis alat pemadam api yang disyorkan untuk diletakkan dalam kereta anda adalah jenis serbuk kering dalam saiz kompak dengan berat maksimum sehingga dua kilogram. Lokasi yang sesuai untuk meletakkan alat pemadam api adalah di bawah tempat duduk penumpang hadapan kerana ia senang dicapai jika berlaku kecemasan. Elakkan daripada meletakkan pemadam api di dalam but atau di bawah tempat duduk pemandu. Ia boleh bergolek ke bahagian pedal yang mungkin boleh membahayakan anda.\n\n\n0.5Kg Firebeater Auto Fire Extinguisher Portable Car Home\n ini memang sesuai untuk diletakkan dalam kereta anda kerana harganya sangat berpatutan, saiznya yang kecil dan cara penggunaan yang mudah.\n\n\n3. Kit Pertolongan Cemas\n\n\nKit pertolongan cemas bukan sahaja perlu ada di dalam rumah anda, anda juga perlu sediakan satu dalam kereta anda, lebih-lebih lagi kalau anda banyak melakukan perjalanan jarak jauh.\n\n\nIa memainkan peranan yang penting apabila berlaku kemalangan terutama bagi mereka yang berkeluarga dan mempunyai anak kecil. Kit pertolongan cemas ini bukan sahaja dapat mengelakkan risiko kecederaan yang lebih teruk, malah dalam kes-kes tertentu boleh menyelamatkan nyawa.\n\n\nKit pertolongan cemas asas\n boleh didapatkan di mana-mana farmasi atau pun secara dalam talian dengan harga serendah RM40 hingga RM200, bergantung kepada kandungan ubat di dalamnya. Tetapi, ia selalunya disertakan dengan ubat-ubatan yang sesuai untuk kegunaan umum, dan bukan ubat yang sesuai untuk mereka yang ada masalah kesihatan tertentu.\n\n\n\n\nSebab itulah anda disarankan untuk menyediakan kit pertolongan cemas mengikut keperluan kesihatan anda untuk disimpan di dalam kereta. Mudah sahaja, anda cuma perlu dapatkan beg yang tahan lasak, kalis air dan ada ruang yang mencukupi macam beg \nPortable Travel First Aid Kit Medical Bag Emergency Kit Waterproof Medicine Storage\n ini.\n\n\nLepas dah ada beg, boleh dapatkan barang-barang penting dalam yang kami senaraikan di bawah ni:\n\n\n\n\nPembersih antiseptik\n\n\nKain kasa pengelap\n\n\nPembalut gulung\n\n\nKapas\n\n\nGunting\n\n\nPita pelekat\n\n\nKain anduh tiga segi\n\n\nPek penyejuk segera\n\n\nSarung tangan getah\n\n\nPlaster\n\n\nMinyak angin\n\n\nAntasid\n\n\nAspirin atau ubat penahan sakit yang lain\n\n\n\n\n4. \nJumper Cable\n\n\nBateri kereta boleh mati secara tiba-tiba tanpa mengira tempat dan masa. Oleh itu, untuk elak daripada tersadai di satu-satu lokasi disebabkan bateri kereta yang tak berfungsi, anda perlu sediakan \njumper cable \ndi dalam kereta supaya anda boleh mengecas semula bateri kereta anda.\n\n\nKalau anda tidak pasti cara nak gunakan \njumper cable\n ni macam mana, anda boleh semak caranya dalam buku panduan kenderaan anda, ataupun anda boleh rujuk artikel \nCara Jumper Bateri Kereta yang Betul, Senang dan Selamat\n kami.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJumper cable\n boleh dibeli di mana-mana kedai aksesori kereta atau mana-mana platform dalam talian dan harganya juga tak mahal. Anda boleh dapatkan \njumper cable \n300 Amp Heavy Duty Solid Thick Jumper/booster Start Cable For Car & Lorry 2.5m\n ini daripada harga serendah RM38.\u00a0\n\n\n5. Kamera Papan Pemuka atau \nDashcam\n\n\nLagi satu aksesori penting yang perlu ada dalam kereta anda adalah kamera papan pemuka atau \ndashcam\n. Ia berfungsi untuk merakam perjalanan anda dan sangat berguna untuk mendapatkan bahan bukti jika anda terlibat dalam kejadian yang tidak diingini seperti kemalangan jalan raya.\n\n\nAdakalanya, pemandu lain tidak mengakui kesalahan yang mereka lakukan dan meletakkan kesalahan tersebut di bahu anda. Faktor ini juga didorong oleh ketiadaan kamera jalan raya atau saksi yang sudi tampil membantu. Oleh itu, untuk mengelakkan perkara ini daripada berlaku, anda disarankan untuk memasang \ndashcam \npada kereta anda supaya jika situasi seperti ini berlaku, anda ada bukti yang boleh membuktikan bahawa anda tidak bersalah dan mengukuhkan hujah anda.\n\n\n\n\nSalah satu dashcam terbaik yang anda boleh dapatkan untuk kereta anda adalah \n70mai A800s 4K Dash Cam\n pada harga RM504. Ia adalah model yang popular kerana dilengkapi dengan ciri yang canggih seperti resolusi sehingga 4K, Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), dan juga mod Parking.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \n4 Jenama Dashcam Terbaik di Malaysia & Cara Untuk Pilih Yang Sesuai Untuk Anda\n\n\n6.\n Jerry Can\n\n\nMesti ramai pemandu di luar sana yang simpan botol air plastik dalam kereta kan? Tapi tahukah anda bahawa botol plastik sebenarnya tak selamat untuk disimpan dalam kereta? Ia boleh mendedahkan air yang disimpan kepada bahan kimia berbahaya jika terdedah kepada cahaya matahari terlalu lama dan ia juga tidak sesuai digunakan untuk menyimpan minyak kalau kereta anda kehabisan minyak.\n\n\n\n\nSebenarnya adalah lebih selamat untuk anda simpan\n jerry can \ndi dalam kereta kerana ia diperbuat daripada bahan sesuai digunakan untuk menyimpan cecair seperti air dan juga minyak.\n\n\nAnda boleh dapatkan\n jerry can\n di mana-mana kedai pertukangan yang berhampiran atau anda juga boleh dapatkannya secara dalam talian seperti \n5L 10L 20L Fuel Tank Petrol Tank Oil Tank Auto Shut Off Gasoline Container\n ini daripada harga RM55 hingga RM97.\u00a0\n\n\n7. Segi Tiga Amaran\n\n\nSegi tiga amaran (\ntriangle emergency warning sign\n) biasanya digunakan dalam situasi kecemasan atau kerosakan. Papan tanda dengan bahan pantulan merah ini biasanya akan diletakkan di sisi jalan (kira-kira 45 meter di belakang kenderaan yang rosak atau dalam kemalangan) sebagai tanda amaran kepada pengguna jalan raya yang lain.\n\n\nNegara-negara di Eropah seperti Austria, Sepanyol, Perancis, Belgium dan Itali mewajibkan penggunaan segi tiga amaran dalam situasi kecemasan atau kemalangan. Malah, pemandu boleh dikenakan kompaun jika tidak menggunakan alat ini semasa kecemasan atau kemalangan.\n\n\n\n\nKalau segi tiga amaran yang ada dalam kereta anda dah rosak, anda boleh gantikannya dengan\n Car Warning Safety Road Sign Emergency Reflective Triangle Kit\n ini daripada Shopee. Harganya pun tak mahal, cuma RM5.90 sahaja.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nPapan Tanda Jalan Raya di Malaysia dan Maksud yang Mungkin Anda Tidak Tahu\n\n\n8. Tayar Ganti, Jek Kereta & \nLug Wrench\n\n\nKerosakan tayar semasa dalam perjalanan disebabkan oleh tayar yang tidak diselenggara dan dijaga dengan baik akan membantutkan perjalanan anda. Malah, ia juga akan menjejaskan dan merosakkan mood percutian anda.\n\n\nSebelum memulakan perjalanan jarak jauh, sentiasa periksa keadaan tayar ganti kereta anda. Tayar ganti selalunya berada di bahagian but belakang kereta anda dan ia perlu diperiksa agar ia mempunyai tekanan angin yang mencukupi, keadaan bunga tayar masih lagi tebal dan tiada sebarang kerosakan pada tayar tersebut.\n\n\n\n\nDi samping itu, pastikan kelengkapan untuk menukar tayar ganti seperti jek kereta dan \nlug wrench\n tersedia dalam kenderaan anda. Alatan tersebut perlu berada dalam keadaan baik dan boleh digunakan. Untuk menggunakan jek kereta dengan lebih mudah, anda boleh dapatkan \nAVOSKY Car Scissor Auto Jack Ratchet Wrench\n ini pada harga RM9.90 sahaja. Jika anda menggunakan rim sport, pastikan nat khas untuk membuka rim sentiasa ada dalam kereta anda.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nPunca Kerosakan Tayar Kereta Yang Patut Anda Tahu\n\n\n9. Bank Kuasa atau \nPowerbank\n\n\nSelalunya, bila berada dalam situasi kecemasan, masa tu lah bateri telefon bimbit kita akan habis. Inilah sebabnya kenapa kita perlu sentiasa bawa \npowerbank \nbersama-sama terutama sekali bila dalam perjalanan jarak jauh.\n\n\nWalaupun sesetengah model kereta mempunyai \nbuilt-in charger\n sebagai ciri standard, anda perlu juga memikirkan kebarangkalian lain yang boleh menghalang anda daripada menggunakannya. Oleh itu, \npowerbank \nadalah alternatif terbaik untuk anda.\n\n\n\n\nJangan lupa untuk sentiasa pastikan yang \npowerbank\n anda telah dicas penuh sebelum memulakan perjalanan. Ini dapat memastikan telefon anda mempunyai bateri yang cukup untuk menghubungi pihak yang berkenaan dan mendapatkan bantuan, jika perlu.\n\n\nSebagai persediaan menghadapi kecemasan di jalan raya, anda boleh dapatkan \n99800mah Emergency Jumper Power Bank Car Powerbank\n ini yang boleh digunakan untuk mengepam tayar kenderaan, mengecas telefon bimbit dan juga untuk \njump start \nkereta jika ia kehabisan bateri. Harganya pun sangat berpatutan, cuma RM111.11 sahaja!\n\n\nKami harap artikel ini dapat membantu memudahkan perjalanan anda dan mengelakkan perkara-perkara di luar jangkaan daripada menjejaskan pengalaman pemanduan anda. Sentiasa beringat dan berwaspada sepanjang pemanduan untuk mengelakkan sebarang insiden atau kejadian yang tidak diingini. Yang penting, pandu dengan cermat dan sentiasa berhati-hati di jalan raya.\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda sedang mempertimbangkan untuk menjual kereta lama dan berminat untuk mendapatkan kereta terpakai berkualiti, boleh layari \ncarsome.my\n atau \nmuat turun aplikasi mudah alih kami\n.\n\n\nCARSOME adalah platform jual beli kereta terpakai dengan sehingga 30 pilihan jenama kereta yang sesuai untuk mana-mana gaya hidup.

Kita tak boleh pesan kereta sesuka hati macam, \u2018Bang, nak \nToyota Raptor\n 2 kilo!\u2019. Bukan! Ia merupakan komitmen kewangan selama tujuh hingga sembilan tahun. Jadi, apabila anda memutuskan untuk membeli kereta, anda harus fikir masak-masak, model dan jenama kereta apakah yang anda nak beli.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nApabila dah fikirkan kereta apa yang anda mahu, langkah seterusnya ialah dengan mencari pusat pengedar dan membuat sesi pandu uji. Tapi, biasalah kan? Bila dah seronok sangat nak pandu uji, kita akan mudah terlupa dengan beberapa perkara penting yang sepatutnya dibuat semasa \npandu uji\n.\u00a0\n\n\nIni antara kesilapan biasa yang sebenarnya boleh menyebabkan anda menyesal tak dibuat semasa sesi pandu uji.\u00a0\n\n\n1. Fikir Dulu Nak Pandu Uji Kereta Apa\u00a0\n\n\nSeperti yang dikatakan awal-awal tadi, membeli kereta ialah satu \nkomitmen kewangan\n untuk tempoh tujuh hingga sembilan tahun. Anda kena fikirkan betul-betul dan tetapkan berapa yang anda boleh bayar untuk tempoh tersebut.\u00a0\n\n\nKemudian anda senaraikan model kereta yang sesuai dengan bajet yang anda itu. Di pusat pengedar kereta, hanya pandu uji untuk kereta yang anda senaraikan saja. Jangan cuba-cuba nak pandu uji kereta lain. Contohnya, anda di pusat pengedar PERODUA nak pandu uji kereta Bezza saja tapi anda boleh pula terpandu uji kereta Ativa selepas kena \u2018racun\u2019 dengan wakil penjual.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWalaupun sekadar pandu uji saja tapi ada kemungkinan anda akan terbeli kereta lain yang lagi mahal daripada kereta harga berpatutan yang sepatutnya anda beli. Mungkin faktor lebih mewah dan canggih menyebabkan anda tergoda untuk membelinya.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nFaham, susah nak tolak godaan wakil penjual yang berkata, \u201cAlah bang, tambah sikit lagi boleh dapat kereta yang ni\u2026\u201d. Jangan! Kuatkan semangat dan tahan nafsu walaupun anda mampu.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Rancang Perjalanan Pandu Uji\u00a0\n\n\nSebelum memulakan sesi pandu uji, anda bertanyalah kepada wakil penjual setakat mana jarak yang dibenarkan untuk memandu uji. Kebiasaannya jarak yang biasa ialah lima hingga 20km. Bergantung kepada ketetapan pusat pengedar kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nIni kesilapan pertama yang dibuat. Hanya memandu di satu jenis jalan saja dan tidak mencuba memandu di pelbagai jalan seperti di lebuh raya. Ini mungkin akan menyukarkan anda untuk menilai prestasi kereta di permukaan jalan yang berbeza.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPandulah kereta pandu uji tersebut di pelbagai permukaan jalan. Mungkin memandu di jalan biasa dan kalau boleh, cuba pula pandu di lebuh raya jika ia berdekatan dengan pusat jualan. Jangan lupa cuba juga pandu di selekoh dan bulatan.\u00a0\n\n\nBarulah anda tak tersilap buat pilihan apabila nak membeli kereta nanti.\n\n\n3. Tak Periksa Keadaan Luaran Kereta\u00a0\n\n\nRamai orang terutama mereka yang ingin membeli kereta terpakai tidak melakukan ini sebelum pandu uji iaitu memeriksa keadaan fizikal kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau nak beli kereta baharu, kereta yang anda pandu uji adalah berbeza dengan kereta yang anda akan dapat nanti selepas pembelian. Tetapi bagi kereta terpakai, kereta yang anda pandu uji itulah kereta yang anda akan dapat.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKalau anda nak beli kereta baharu, kereta yang anda pandu uji adalah berbeza dengan kereta yang anda akan dapat nanti selepas pembelian. Tetapi bagi kereta terpakai, kereta yang anda pandu uji itulah kereta yang anda akan dapat.\n\n\nKenapa kena periksa sebelum buat pandu uji? Sekurang-kurangnya anda tahu keadaan sebenar kereta seperti bahagian mana yang kemik dan calar atau tak sempurna dan anda boleh maklumkan kepada penjual.\u00a0\n\n\nJangan periksa selepas pandu uji. Kemungkinan penjual kereta akan mendakwa kemik dan calar yang ada itu terjadi semasa sesi pandu uji. Jadi, berhati-hatilah sebelum membuat keputusan dan periksa kereta keseluruhannya.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Tidak Memeriksa Rekod Servis Kereta\n\n\nSetiap kereta akan diservis setelah tempoh tertentu. Setiap kali ia diservis, ia akan direkodkan dalam buku servis kereta yang disertakan oleh pengeluar kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda nak beli kereta terutama sekali kereta terpakai, jangan lupa untuk periksa buku rekod servis ini. Daripada sini banyak maklumat yang boleh diketahui tentang keadaan kereta sebelum ia dijualkan kepada anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJika penjual tidak memberikan buku servis meski anda sudah memintanya, sudah tentu ada sesuatu yang tak kena dan anda mungkin boleh mencari penjual lain. Jangan abaikan keselamatan kereta hanya kerana inginkan kereta yang dijual pada harga yang lebih murah.\n\n\n5. Memandu Melulu Hingga Membahayakan Pengguna Lain\u00a0\n\n\nAnda kena ingat, kereta yang anda sedang pandu uji ini bukannya kereta milik anda. Sila pandu dengan berhati-hati. Kemalangan boleh berlaku di mana-mana saja tanpa mengira masa dan keadaan.\u00a0\n\n\nHanya kerana anda sudah memandu bertahun-tahun dan berasa yakin, anda boleh jamin tiada apa yang boleh berlaku. Ada pemandu yang terlalu yakin dan terus \u2018lenjan\u2019 kereta pandu uji sehingga kereta menjadi rosak.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAda juga yang terlampau seronok semasa sesi pandu uji. Yalah, yang dipandu uji itu kereta idaman. Terlalu seronok dan \u2018sedap\u2019 memandu hingga lupa diri tertekan minyak dan terus terbabas tepi jalan seperti kes \ntest drive kereta Mercedes hingga terbabas yang pernah tular dahulu.\n\n\nMeskipun cuma kereta pandu uji, buatlah seperti kereta anda sendiri. Kalau rosak teruk, anda juga yang terpaksa membayar ganti rugi.\u00a0\n\n\n6. Menilai Keselesaan Kereta\u00a0\n\n\nWalaupun namanya sesi pandu uji, tapi tak bermakna anda cuma perlu pandu kereta itu. Ada banyak lagi yang perlu anda nilai sepanjang sesi pandu uji.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAntaranya seperti keselesaan kerusi, panel hiburan yang ada, ruang kaki, kesesuaian stereng, dan juga \nruang dalaman\n. Mungkin apa yang dipamerkan di dalam bilik pameran tidak sama dengan ketika merasainya sendiri semasa memandu.\u00a0\n\n\nPeriksa Sebelum Beli\u00a0\n\n\nAda kepentingannya kenapa semua perkara ini perlu dibuat semasa sesi pandu uji. Supaya anda tahu apa yang anda akan beli. Kerana seperti yang dinyatakan awal-awal penulisan, kereta ini merupakan komitmen kewangan yang akan mengikat anda selama tujuh hingga sembilan tahun. Bayangkan anda terpaksa membayar kereta yang anda sendiri tak suka.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nJika anda memeriksa dengan teliti kereta yang anda ingin miliki, anda sedikit sebanyak sudah tahu kelebihan dan kekurangan yang ada pada kereta tersebut.

The platform is exclusively built for the development of EVs, including the chassis of the vehicles which encompasses the battery, motor and power electric system. In layman terms, this platform aims to pioneer the EV industry to ensure these new-age vehicles are able to deliver performance according to today\u2019s driving lifestyles.\u00a0\n\n\nHere\u2019s a fun fact: the E-GMP is also shared by Hyundai\u2019s IONIQ 5 \u2013 a compact crossover that was launched in February this year. Since the car is built on the same platform, perhaps we can expect the same underpinnings of Hyundai\u2019s IONIQ 5, which is a 72.6 kWh usable battery, a driving range of 410 kilometers and its acceleration speed of 5.5 seconds when going from zero to 100 kilometer per hour.\n\n\nThe Spacious Dimensions of the Kia EV6\n\n\nThe EV6 stands at 4,680 mm long, 1,880 mm wide, 1,550 mm tall, and has a massive wheelbase of 2,900 mm. The result of all these numbers equals a huge amount of space for passengers. As for cargo space, the rear truck can fit 520 liters, or 1,300 liters with the rear seats folded. That\u2019s not all, since there\u2019s no combustion engine under the front hood, you\u2019ll find an extra 20 liters storage compartment which is nice.\n\n\nThe All-Powerful Kia EV6 Battery Performance\n\n\nCustomers will have a choice of two different configurations \u2013 a 58-kWh or 77.4-kWh high-voltage battery, plus single-motor RWD or dual-motor AWD\u2014exactly like the\u00a0Hyundai IONIQ 5.\n\n\nThe EV6 with the smaller battery uses a 125-kW (168-hp) rear motor and the AWD variants add a front motor for a total output of 173 kW (232 hp), This allows the car to go from 0 to 100 km/h at 6.2 or 5.2 seconds depending on the drivetrain. When this EV is fitted with a larger battery, it gets a more powerful rear motor rated at 168 kW (225 hp), and with AWD, the dual-motor setup delivers a combined 239 kW (321 hp).\n\n\nThe most exciting part of this car comes in the form of a variant called EV6 GT that serves up 430 kW (577 hp) and 546 lb-ft of torque, enabling 0-100 km/h sprints in a mere 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 260 km/h. It is also announced that the driving range of this car is up to 510 km with a single charge, and in Malaysia, that\u2019s the approximate distance from Melaka to Perlis.\n\n\nThe EV6 is compatible with 400V and 800V fast-charging stations and doesn\u2019t require additional components or adaptors. In the best scenario, you can expect to charge the battery from 10-80 percent of its capacity in just 18\u00a0minutes, with less than 4.5 minutes required to get roughly 100 km back.\n\n\nThe exterior specs of Kia EV6 is seemingly sporty\n\n\n\n\nThe exterior takes on a sporty-athletic crossover design and is the first vehicle to make use of Kia\u2019s new design philosophy known as \u201cOpposites United,\u201d which compromises of these five pillars:\n\n\n\n\nBold for Nature;\n\n\nJoy for Reason;\u00a0\n\n\nPower to Progress;\u00a0\n\n\nTechnology for Life; and\n\n\nTension for Serenity.\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIn appearance, its design is minimalistic, but yet incorporates outlandish detailing such as large front headlights atop its muscular fender, coupled with a small front-bottom grille. The back tail lights are fitted with a full-length light bar that plunges from the top of the boot and towards the tire arches. It also has a chrome strip that appears to support the lightbar.\n\n\nThe Interior specs of Kia EV6\n\n\nThe interior applies the same design philosophy as its exterior, with the minimalistic-sporty themed features making its way throughout the interior. The dashboard area features a large infotainment screen and a digital driver display with separate controls for the air-conditioning.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe minimalistic is carried out with a rotary dial gear that replaces the stick gear, located behind the push-start button. \nFor the driver, the dual-spoke steering wheel is reminiscent of what you will find in older cars, while Kia has stated that recycled plastics are used in some of its fabrics to promote \u201cgreater openness in the cabin.\u201d\n\n\nThe EV6 is Coming Soon\n\n\nThe 2022 Kia EV6 will be manufactured in South Korea and sold globally during the second half of 2021. Further details about when it will be sold in Malaysia including the prices and other specs will be revealed closer to the launch, so do stay tune.\n\n\nREAD MORE:\n Check out the \nRolls Royce Bespoke Black Badge Cullinan \u2013 A Customized Masterpiece \nand \nElectric Cars in Malaysia\n\n\nFor any other used car services and news, do check Carsome out!

Locally, the hatch doesn\u2019t quite get the attention it deserves based on its pricing point, segment and competition. Considering it was launched just months before the current Perodua Myvi, the economics of positioning didn\u2019t quite put it in the same area as Malaysia\u2019s number one hatchback. And as with the general taboo that comes with the less than favourable brand perception, the Rio takes quite some negativity before anything else.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBut the new Rio shouldn\u2019t be dismissed so easily. The Korean brand has significantly improved their little hatchback that at its current fourth generation, is one of the more mature compact cars available. Let us explain further.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIn terms of exterior design, the new Rio moves away from the 3\nrd\n generation\u2019s rounder corners. In fact, the current styling is very much in-line with the brand\u2019s portfolio of vehicles (ie Picanto, Cerato and Optima). At the front, the visual width has been increased thanks to the slimmer and wider Kia \u2018tiger-nose\u2019 grille. Flanking the central grille is the new head lamps with U-shaped LED DRLs.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWith the overall trimmer shape, the new Rio has a 10 mm longer wheelbase with an overall 15 mm longer and 5 mm wider than the predecessor and is also 5 mm lower than before. Rear combination LED lamp units are stylish with the three streaks and what\u2019s also rather unique for a standard fit for hatchbacks of this class in Malaysia are the 17-inch alloys.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nInside the interior is well thought of and intuitive. It comes with the overall placement of buttons, ergonomics and the angle in which it faces the driver. At the centre of it all, the floating human-machine interface (HMI) is one that we feel brings home the gold standard for basic touchscreen infotainment systems. The only caveat is that somehow Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is omitted in this system, but is included in the brand\u2019s smaller Picanto. To justify the sticker price, the Rio comes with rain sensor wipers, sunroof, rear view camera, keyless entry with push start, six airbags and front and rear fog lamps on the outside.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWe think Kia has done a good job with the new Rio. The 1.4-litre unit outputs 99 hp and 133 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm mated to a 4-speed automatic. Going round in the city is adequate and the combination does the job when needed, however when put into longer distance, we feel that the transmission really needs a little more kick to showcase the car\u2019s real capabilities. Unfortunately, for our market, we don\u2019t get the six speed manual or automatic.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHowever, the ride, comfort, is admirable for what it is, and the suspension and steering provide enough feedback to put this better than the other common hatchback offerings we have locally (apart from the Mazda 2). In fact, we dare say that the Rio\u2019s structural build is stiff enough that a fast drive across long distances could be done one handed without feeling the loss of stability.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSo how do we conclude? The Rio has come a long way from its second generation introduction in Malaysia over a decade ago. Today, it is an evidently good looking hatch that has undergone massive maturity in a global stage. We feel it stands proudly amongst other local offerings that include the Perodua Myvi, Honda Jazz, VW Polo and Mazda 2. Should you get it? If you\u2019re looking for something different to stand out of the crowd, but yet has enough appeal to stand the test of time, the Rio needs a closer look.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nLooking for an SUV that drives really well? \nMazda\u2019s latest CX-5\n ticks that box!\n\n\nContinental SUV perhaps? \nClick here\n to find out why Volvo\u2019s XC60 is the best featured SUV you can buy today!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car through Carsome and connect yourself to over 900 dealers nationwide!\n\n", "Tags\nCars\nDriving\nReviews", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

The latest third generation Picanto has been on sale locally since early 2018, with promises in being the most versatile car in its class. All this comes with an exciting new design and a high-tech new cabin. Marketed as a city car, the new Picanto is proof that size is not a factor when considering the performance and convenience it brings. What makes the Picanto such a popular car? Read on as we delve into Kia's latest A-segment hatchback and conclude our findings.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nYouthful and Exciting Character\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Designed at the brand's centres in both Namyang, Korea and Frankfurt, Germany, the 2018 Kia Picanto brings a more youthful and energetic character to the A-segment. With the wheelbase extended to 2,400 mm and the front wheels pushed further out to the corners for a 25 mm shorter front overhang, this new hatch is better in looks as it is underneath.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    At the front, the \u201cTiger Nose\u201d upper grille design and the large grille below feature a glossy black finish with chrome trimming. Welcome add ons here is the projection headlamps with LED indicators and LED daytime running lights while the shark-fin antenna on the roof is a stylish replacement to the existing aerial.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The character of the new Picanto is defined by distinctive lines along the side skirts, shoulder and around the wheel arches, and sculpted body surfacing. What that does is a creation of a more confident on-road design and \u2018stretching\u2019 the car for greater ride stability. The new model actually adopts Kia\u2019s wide C-pillar as a design motif, which stands more upright than the previous model.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nInterior\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The interior looks much more premium; the cabin is completely revamped. Inside the new Kia Picanto, the car\u2019s dashboard layout has been moved upwards by 15 mm which provides greater knee and leg space for front passengers. In terms of interior space, there\u2019s much more rear legroom than the predecessor. Not to mention, the whole look including the updated steering wheel and meter cluster updates and matures the new baby Kia.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReverse camera with guidelines isn't a huge feature, but on a A-segment hatch like the Picanto? We like!\n\n\n\n\n\n    Compared to the previous car, the dashboard layout has been centralised, which moves many of the car\u2019s control further up into the driver\u2019s line of sight. The 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support which also includes an extensive range of features.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    In terms of the little details, the Picanto\u2019s new seats also features the same seat-base materials and construction found in larger Kia models, such as the new Optima.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nDriving Impressions\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    We found this nippy hatch to be definitely built for the city and was able to tackle anything we threw at it. Its Kappa 1.2-litre engine manages a decent 83 hp at 6,000 rpm and 122 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. Thanks to the practical 4-speed transmission, the Picanto is able to clock in 6.7 litres/100 km combined and the fuel tank capacity amounts up to 35 litres. When you put your foot to the gas, the 4-speed auto transmission does take some time to get up to speed but cruising at motorway speeds of 100 km/h is easy. Although untested by us, some reviewers have taken this pocket wonder close to 180 km/h.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The longer wheelbase and shorter front overhang of the car helps to reduce \u2018nose dive\u2019 under braking without stiffening the suspension during the drive. This has also improved ride quality and stability on all roads. In terms of NVH levels (noise, vibration and harshness) of the Picanto is greatly reduced, producing a quietest-in-class 39 decibels of noise when idle. It also records 68 decibels at a steady cruise.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    In terms of ride, the medium-hard absorber and suspension settings is very handy during high-speed corners. In terms of handling, the Macpherson strut at the front and torsion beam at the rear points to a greater ride stability, and more enjoyable handling responses. On tackling winding roads, or highway, the car\u2019s nimbleness allows it to navigate smoothly too.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nPracticality\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Boot capacity of 255 litres (from 200 litres in the previous model) is class leading and its cargo capacity in total to 1,010 litres.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The rear seats now reclines from 25 to 27 degrees, which gives passengers a more relaxed posture. Also, with more prominent side bolsters on the rear bench, it adds comfort and support during corners.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nOverall Safety\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The third-generation Picanto is the safest A-segment car Kia has ever made. The body is made up of 44 per cent Advanced High Strength Steel that adds up to its robustness. The tensile strength of the vehicle has improved by 12 per cent. Also, the new stronger steel has been used to reinforce the floor pan, roof rails and engine bay, strengthening the core structure of the car, making it a safe car despite its size.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Its primary safety features include six-airbags, rear-view reverse camera, rear parking sensors, Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist System (BAS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC). What is added to the package includes Traction Control (TRC), Hill-Start Assist Control and ISOFIX child seat anchor mounting points. Oh the Picanto also has a 5-star safety rating from the European New Car Assessment Programme.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nFinal Thoughts\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    As a whole, the new Kia Picanto has definitely improved over its predecessor by quite a margin. Among those it includes improved body control, more room interior wise, and it handles and feels like a car much larger than it is. One thing's for sure, the small Picanto is big on the stuff that matters most. We think this warrants a closer look when it comes to vehicle's in this class.

Hati-hati Dengan Kos Tersembunyi Ini Kalau Anda Nak Beli Kereta Terpakai!", "By\n \nAmarnath", "01/09/2022", "\n\n\n\n\n", "Kereta baharu akan mengalami susut nilai sebaik saja keluar daripada kedai. Kadang-kadang susut nilai tu sehingga 20% pada tahun pertama sahaja. Disebabkan itulah \nmembeli kereta terpakai\n boleh menjimatkan anda. Tetapi ramai juga pembeli kereta terpakai akhirnya terpaksa membayar lebih daripada harga yang dipamerkan untuk kereta terpakai disebabkan oleh kos-kos tersembunyi yang dikenakan oleh penjual.\u00a0\n\n\nAntaranya seperti bayaran Puspakom, kos servis kereta, dan bayaran pemprosesan untuk kereta terpakai. \nDan yang paling tak masuk akal, harga bayaran-bayaran ini dinaikkan dengan sengaja untuk mengaut keuntungan berlipat kali ganda\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nCARSOME Certified: Taraf Baharu Pembelian Kereta Pramilik\n\n\nBerikut merupakan bayaran tersembunyi yang biasa anda akan jumpa apabila membeli kereta daripada penjual kereta terpakai.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n1. Bayaran Pemeriksaan Puspakom\n\n\nSebelum kenderaan ditukar milik daripada penjual kepada pembeli, ia perlu menjalani dan melepasi pemeriksaan di Puspakom untuk mengesahkan bahawa ia berada dalam keadaan yang baik dan selamat untuk dipandu di atas jalan. Terdapat 2 jenis pemeriksaan:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPemeriksaan B5\n: Ini merupakan pemeriksaan standard untuk tukar milik yang bertujuan untuk menentukan sama ada kenderaan tersebut selamat, sah, dan bukannya kereta potong. Pemeriksaan B5 ini berharga RM30.\u00a0\n\n\nPemeriksaan B7:\n Pemeriksaan ini lebih menyeluruh untuk kenderaan sewa beli, dan ia perlu dibuat selain daripada pemeriksaan B5 apabila anda ingin memohon pinjaman untuk membeli kereta tersebut. Ia termasuklah pemeriksaan tambahan merangkumi pengeluaran, penjajaran tayar, brek, dan pemeriksaan meter laju. Pemeriksaan B7 ini berharga RM60.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nPerkara Yang Anda Perlu Tahu Mengenai Pemeriksaan PUSPAKOM\n\n\n\n\nBagi kebanyakan pembeli kereta terpakai, bayaran pemeriksaan Puspakom sepatutnya cuma berharga RM90 untuk pemeriksaan B5 dan B7. \nTetapi ada pembeli yang terpaksa membayar sehingga RM500 semasa membeli kereta terpakai.\n\n\n2. Bayaran Pemprosesan Pinjaman\n\n\nBayaran pemprosesan pinjaman ini biasanya merangkumi bayaran pengendalian dokumen, duti setem pinjaman kereta, dan kos berurusan dengan bank. Kebiasaannya bayaran duti setem untuk pinjaman hanyalah RM20 oleh kebanyakan bank tetapi ada \n\u00a0ada pembeli yang dikenakan bayaran sehingga RM600 dalam urusan pembelian kereta terpakai\n. Jadi, ada pembeli yang terpaksa membayar bayaran pemprosesan pinjaman dan bayaran perjanjian.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nCara Mengelakkan Ditipu Semasa Membeli atau Menjual Kereta\n\n\n\n\nUntuk mengelakkan daripada dikenakan bayaran pemprosesan pinjaman atau perjanjian yang mahal, minta penjual untuk senaraikan apa yang ada dalam bayaran yang dikenakan. Kalau terlalu mahal, anda boleh berunding untuk mengurangkan bayaran atau beli saja daripada penjual dengan reputasi yang lebih baik seperti CARSOME. CARSOME mengenakan bayaran pemprosesan pinjaman yang rendah dan ia sudah termasuk sekali dalam harga kereta menjadikan harga yang dipamerkan di laman web CARSOME adalah harga tetap.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Bayaran Tukar Milik\n\n\nBayaran tukar milik kenderaan ialah yuran yang perlu dibayar kepada Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) apabila ingin menukar pemilikan apa-apa kenderaan di Malaysia. Bagi kereta persendirian, kosnya RM100 dan ia wajib bagi mereka yang ingin membeli kereta terpakai. Perlu diketahui juga bahawa bayaran ini juga dikenakan kepada pertukaran milik kenderaan yang tidak melibatkan transaksi jual beli seperti tukar milik antara ahli keluarga.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAda sebahagian penjual kereta terpakai yang mengenakan bayaran sehingga RM500 untuk pertukaran milik kenderaan, lima kali ganda daripada bayaran yang dikenakan oleh JPJ. Memang kos lain perlu diambil kira seperti wakil untuk menguruskan proses pertukaran di JPJ, tetapi anda tak sepatutnya perlu membayar sehingga RM500 untuk urusan ini.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nKereta Dah Habis Bayar? Prosedur e-Batal JPJ untuk Keluarkan Nama Bank pada Geran Kereta\n\n\n\n\n4. Bayaran Servis Kereta\u00a0\n\n\nApabila membeli kereta terpakai, anda mungkin perlu membayar bayaran servis untuk kos-kos menyelenggara yang ditanggung oleh penjual. Ini termasuklah penukaran minyak enjin, penukaran pad brek, bateri baharu, dan lain-lain kos servis kereta. Meskipun semua servis kereta ini merupakan tanggungjawab penjual kereta untuk menukar bendalir dan barang guna-habis dalam kereta sebelum diserahkan kepada pelanggan, banyak penjual kereta terpakai yang mengenakan bayaran tersembunyi sehingga RM1,000 untuk bayaran servis sahaja.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDi CARSOME, kesemua kereta kami telah menjalani pemeriksaan 175-titik dan pembaikpulihan yang profesional merangkumi pembaikan am dan mekanikal, termasuklah baik pulih badan dan cat kereta. Sekalipun dikira sekali kos baik pulih, harga kereta CARSOME Certified masih lagi berpatutan dan tidak ada kos tersembunyi untuk pembaikan \u2013 ia adalah sesuatu yang kami pastikan supaya kami boleh menyediakan kereta pramilik yang melebihi taraf.\u00a0\n\n\n5. Cukai Jualan & Perkhidmatan (SST)\u00a0\n\n\nCukai Jualan dan Perkhidmatan (SST) ialah cukai yang hanya terpakai untuk kereta baharu sahaja. Walau bagaimanapun, ada penjual kereta terpakai yang turut mengenakan SST dalam harga kereta yang mereka jual. Kalau anda diminta untuk membayar SST semasa membeli kereta terpakai, jangan bayar!\u00a0\n\n\nDengan pelbagai bayaran tambahan seperti cukai dan bayaran pemprosesan, anda mungkin terpaksa membayar sehingga sebanyak RM4,000 hingga RM5,000 bersama dengan harga kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nKerana itulah kami mengharapkan panduan ini boleh membantu anda daripada dikenakan bayaran tersembunyi dan membantu anda membuat keputusan pembelian kereta lebih baik.\u00a0\n\n\nBayar Dengan Harga Tetap Apabila Anda Membeli Kereta CARSOME Certified\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSebuah Toyota Yaris G 1.5 2021 yang disenaraikan di CARSOME Certified\n\n\nTidak seperti kebanyakan penjual kereta terpakai, CARSOME tidak mengenakan sebarang bayaran tersembunyi pada semua kereta kami. Harga di laman web kami sudah termasuk cukai jalan, bayaran Puspakom, bayaran pemprosesan pinjaman, dan juga bayaran tukar milik. Jadi, anda boleh yakin yang harga yang dipaparkan adalah apa yang anda akan bayar. Anda juga boleh periksa sendiri laporan pemeriksaan 175-titik untuk setiap kereta supaya anda tahu keadaan kereta dan nilaikan sendiri harganya.\u00a0\n\n\nSebagai tambahan, setiap kereta CARSOME Certified disertakan dengan jaminan kualiti memandangkan kami menjalankan pemeriksaan 175-titik dan proses pembaikpulihan secara profesional. Dengan CARSOME Certified, anda akan tahu bahawa setiap kereta kami adalah bebas daripada \nkemalangan teruk\n dan kerosakan banjir di samping mempunyai keselamatan melebihi taraf, keselesaan sepenuhnya, dan estetik seperti baharu.\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk ketenangan minda, anda juga boleh menikmati jaminan pulangan wang dalam 5 hari dan waranti satu tahun untuk setiap setiap kereta CARSOME Certified.\u00a0\n\n\nKunjungi CARSOME hari ini untuk kereta pramilik yang berkualiti tanpa sebarang caj tersembunyi.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n", "Tags\nkereta second hand\nkereta terpakai\nPuspakom", "Amarnath", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Ini Perkara Penting yang Boleh Anda Lakukan", "By\n \nAhmad Azwadie Azman", "27/07/2021", "\n\n\n\n\n", "Kehilangan kunci kereta adalah salah satu pengalaman yang paling menjengkelkan dan menyakitkan hati. Sebagai pemilik kereta, anda mungkin pernah atau bakal berdepan situasi kunci kereta anda hilang tanpa mengetahui sama ada anda terlupa tempat letak atau dicuri tanpa anda sedar. Jika dahulu, kehilangan kunci kereta bukanlah suatu isu yang besar kerana ia boleh digantikan dengan mudah. Namun kini, bukan sahaja kereta yang menjadi semakin canggih, kunci kereta juga turut tidak ketinggalan sekali gus menjadikannya suatu masalah besar jika hilang.\n\n\n\n\nApa yang Boleh Anda Lakukan Sekiranya Kunci Kereta Hilang?\n\n\nKehilangan kunci kereta secara amnya menyebabkan anda tiada akses kepada kereta anda. Ia bukan sahaja boleh memeningkan dan menggusarkan anda, malah dalam kes tertentu, anda tidak boleh bergerak ke mana-mana sehinggalah anda menemui atau menggantikan kunci kereta yang telah hilang.\n\n\n1. Jangan Panik, Cari Kunci Kereta Anda\n\n\nTerlalu panik dan bertindak dengan melulu tidak akan membantu anda menemui kunci kereta anda yang telah hilang. Pastikan anda kekal tenang\u2013terlalu panik tidak akan membantu anda dan menghindarkan anda daripada berfikir dengan betul dan waras. Ambil ruang untuk bertenang dan fikirkan rancangan atau penyelesaian kepada masalah yang dihadapi dengan wajar. Ingat kembali lokasi dan masa terakhir anda melihat atau memegang kunci kereta anda.\n\n\nLokasi-lokasi Biasa Tertinggal Kunci Kereta\n\n\nPeriksa kawasan sekitar anda dan dan luangkan masa untuk mencari kunci kereta anda yang hilang sehingga anda benar-benar yakin bahawa anda kehilangannya.\n\n\ni. Kunci Kereta Tertinggal dalam Kereta\n\n\nDalam sesetengah keadaan, anda mungkin tertinggal kunci kereta anda di dalam kereta anda. Jika anda pasti kunci kereta tertinggal di dalam kereta, minta bantuan tukang kunci untuk membantu membuka pintu kereta anda. Biasanya, tukang kunci mempunyai peralatan yang lengkap yang boleh membantu anda mendapatkan semula kunci kereta tanpa merosakkan kereta anda.\n\n\nii. Celah-celah Sofa atau dalam Poket Seluar\n\n\nAnda juga boleh memeriksa bahagian celah sofa atau dalam poket seluar terakhir yang anda pakai. Kunci kereta anda mungkin terjatuh daripada poket seluar anda semasa anda duduk atau masih berada dalam poket seluar terakhir yang anda pakai. Periksa lokasi-lokasi sebegini untuk kepastian.\n\n\niii. Bakul atau Bekas Mainan Anak-anak\n\n\nMeskipun kedengaran agak kelakar, kunci kereta yang hilang biasanya dijumpai dalam bekas atau bakul mainan anak-anak. Kunci sama ada kunci rumah atau kunci kereta boleh dikatakan sebagai objek mainan \nkegemaran anak kecil\n\u2013kunci biasanya diperbuat daripada logam, berkilat dan menghasilkan bunyi berpotensi menarik perhatian si kecil.\n\n\n2. Sediakan Maklumat Kereta Anda\n\n\nSekiranya anda masih tidak menemui kunci kereta anda dan anda pasti akan kehilangan kunci kereta tersebut, sediakan maklumat yang berkaitan untuk memudahkan urusan anda. Maklumat berkaitan kereta penting untuk mendapatkan kunci ganti yang sesuai daripada pengedar atau tukang kunci kereta. Anda perlu mendapatkan \nvehicle identification number\n (VIN) \natau nombor pendaftaran kenderaan, model dan tahun buatan, nombor pendaftaran kereta, maklumat pengenalan peribadi dan lokasi semasa anda.\n\n\nTip Pro: Sekiranya anda mengesyaki bahawa kunci kereta anda dicuri dan tidak hilang, anda perlu melaporkan perkara tersebut kepada pihak polis untuk siasatan dan semakan lanjut.\n\n\nKesemua maklumat ini diperlukan untuk memastikan bahawa kereta yang kehilangan kunci tersebut benar-benar milik anda. Malah, butiran kenderaan diperlukan supaya kunci ganti dapat diprogramkan semula mengikut spesifikasi kunci asal.\n\n\n3. Buat Kunci Kereta Ganti\n\n\nKehilangan kunci kereta boleh memeningkan kepala lebih-lebih lagi sekiranya anda berada dalam situasi tergesa-gesa ingin ke tempat kerja atau ada urusan kecemasan yang perlu diselesaikan segera. Jika anda berdepan situasi sebegini, anda boleh mempertimbangkan untuk buat kunci kereta ganti atau penggantian kunci kereta hilang melalui alternatif yang tersedia seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPusat pengedaran kereta\u2013lebih mahal berbanding perkhidmatan tukang kunci, tidak sesuai untuk situasi kecemasan;\n\n\nDIY sendiri\u2013memerlukan peralatan dan pengetahuan tertentu untuk melakukannya untuk mengelakkan kerosakan yang lebih serius;\n\n\nPerkhidmatan tukang kunci\u2013lebih cepat, efisien dan menjimatkan berbanding perkhidmatan pusat pengedaran kereta.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApakah Jenis Kunci Kereta yang Telah Hilang?\n\n\nSebelum menggantikan kunci kereta yang hilang, anda perlu mengetahui jenis kunci kereta anda. Berikut merupakan antara jenis kunci kereta yang biasa digunakan untuk panduan dan rujukan anda:\n\n\ni. Kunci Kereta Tradisional\n\n\nSekiranya kunci kereta jenis ini hilang, anda boleh mendapatkan bantuan daripada tukang kunci untuk membuat kunci kereta ganti untuk kereta anda. Mekanisme bagi kunci jenis ini biasanya tidak terlalu rumit\u2013anda boleh menyelesaikan masalah kehilangan kunci jenis ini dengan mudah. Namun begitu, dalam kes-kes tertentu, anda perlu menukar silinder kunci pencucuh atau \nignition lock\n yang baharu sekiranya ia tidak sepadan dengan kunci ganti yang dihasilkan oleh tukang kunci.\n\n\nMeskipun begitu, situasi ini jarang berlaku kerana kereta model lama dan kunci kereta tradisional biasanya bersifat mekanikal dan tidak terlalu kompleks.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nii. Kunci Kereta Boleh Lipat\n\n\nKebanyakan pengeluar kereta hari ini beralih kepada mekanisme kunci lipat. Secara amnya, kunci kereta boleh lipat membolehkan anda melipat (mekanisme sama seperti pisau lipat) sekiranya tidak digunakan dan anda hanya perlu menekan butang kecil sekiranya ingin menggunakan kunci. Ia secara tidak langsung memberikan lapisan keselamatan dengan transponder yang diprogramkan sekali gus dapat mencegah kecurian. Namun begitu, anda mungkin tidak dapat menghidupkan kereta tanpa transponder tersebut jika kunci kereta anda hilang.\n\n\nAnda boleh menghadapi masalah sekiranya anda kehilangan kunci kereta jenis ini. Biasanya, penggantian kunci jenis ini dikatakan lebih mahal berbanding kunci fob biasa. Dalam situasi sebegini, anda mempunyai dua pilihan yang boleh anda pertimbangkan:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPertama\u2013anda boleh masuk ke dalam kereta dan menghidupkan kereta menggunakan kunci ganti (jika ada);\n\n\nKedua\u2013anda perlu menunda kereta anda ke wakil pengedar berdekatan bagi mendapatkan kunci ganti yang telah diprogram semula untuk kereta anda.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\niii. Kunci Transponder\n\n\nKunci jenis ini dikatakan lebih moden berbanding kunci tradisional. Umumnya, kunci transponder dilengkapi dengan cip terbina dalam (\nbuilt-in chip\n) yang akan menghantar isyarat kepada ECU bahawa kunci yang betul sedang digunakan. Ia secara tidak langsung membolehkan enjin kereta dihidupkan dengan mudah. Jika anda hilang kunci kereta jenis ini, hubungi tukang kunci yang mahir dengan jenis kunci tersebut.\n\n\nBiasanya, tukang kunci memiliki kunci ganti yang mempunyai cip yang sama dengan kunci kereta asal. Harga untuk \nduplicate\n kunci jenis ini biasanya lebih mahal berbanding kunci kereta tradisional.\n\n\n\n\niv. Kunci Kereta dan Fob Luaran\n\n\nSekiranya kereta anda menggunakan kunci kereta dengan fob luaran dan fob tersebut hilang, anda masih boleh masuk ke dalam kereta anda menggunakan kunci kereta anda. Namun begitu, anda perlu mendapatkan bantuan tukang kunci untuk membuat kunci ganti bagi menghidupkan kereta anda sekiranya anda kehilangan kunci kereta. Dalam situasi anda hilang kedua-dua kunci kereta dan fob, anda boleh menggantikan kunci kereta terlebih dahulu sebelum menggantikan fob.\n\n\n\n\nv. Kunci Pintar\n\n\nHampir kesemua kereta moden yang dihasilkan hari ini dilengkapi dengan sistem kemasukan tanpa kunci atau\n keyless entry\n di dunia butang \npush start\n. Dalam erti kata lain, peningkatan kebergantungan terhadap teknologi dan sistem elektronik akan meningkatkan kos yang perlu ditanggung sekiranya berlaku kehilangan kunci. Jika kunci pintar atau \nsmart key\n kereta anda hilang, anda tiada pilihan lain selain mendapatkan kunci ganti atau membawa kereta anda ke wakil pengedar terdekat untuk mendapatkan kunci ganti yang sepadan untuk kereta anda.\n\n\nDalam kes-kes tertentu, anda mungkin perlu menunggu stok dengan lebih lama sekiranya pengedar tidak mempunyai kunci pintar yang sepadan untuk kereta anda.\n\n\nSoalan Lazim Berkaitan Kunci Kereta Hilang\n\n\nCarsome menyenaraikan soalan-soalan lazim yang biasa ditanya sekiranya berlaku kehilangan kunci kereta seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Apakah maklumat yang perlu ada sekiranya kunci kereta saya hilang?\n\n\nPemberian maklumat yang lengkap kepada tukang kunci atau pengedar kereta mengenai kunci kereta yang hilang seperti jenis kunci kereta membolehkan proses penggantian kunci kereta dapat dilakukan dengan lebih baik dan berkesan. Anda perlu menyediakan maklumat seperti berikut untuk memudahkan proses penggantian kunci kereta:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModel dan tahun buatan;\n\n\nNombor plat kereta\n \natau nombor pendaftaran kenderaan;\n\n\nNombor pengenalan kenderaan atau\n vehicle identification number\n (VIN);\n\n\nLokasi semasa;\n\n\nMaklumat pengenalan diri.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Bolehkah saya mendapatkan kunci pendua untuk menggantikan kunci asal yang hilang?\n\n\nSecara amnya, anda boleh mendapatkan kunci pendua tanpa kunci asal. Kebanyakan tukang kunci hari ini dilengkapi dengan peralatan dan teknologi yang diperlukan bagi membolehkan mereka memprogram atau menetapkan semula kunci kereta yang sama dengan kunci kereta asal yang telah hilang.\n\n\n3. Berapakah tempoh masa yang diperlukan untuk mendapatkan kunci pendua?\n\n\nBiasanya, proses penggantian kunci memakan masa antara 10 hingga 30 minit. Namun begitu, ia bergantung pada jenis kunci dan tahap kerumitan sistem transponder kereta.\n\n\n4. Berapakah harga\n duplicate\n kunci kereta atau kos yang diperlukan untuk menggantikan kunci kereta yang hilang?\n\n\nKos penggantian kunci kereta yang hilang boleh menelan belanja antara RM100 hingga RM300 (atau mungkin lebih) bergantung pada jenis model kenderaan anda dan kerumitan proses penggantian secara keseluruhan. Namun begitu, kos penggantian melalui perkhidmatan tukang kunci biasanya jauh lebih rendah berbanding perkhidmatan pengedar kereta anda. Anda disarankan untuk mendapatkan sebut harga daripada beberapa vendor terlebih dahulu untuk kepastian.\n\n\n\n\nSemoga perkongsian maklumat ini dapat membantu anda sekiranya anda berdepan dengan situasi kehilangan kunci kereta anda. Seperti yang biasa didengari, mencegah lebih baik berbanding mengubati\u2013anda disarankan untuk sentiasa berwaspada dan berhati-hati untuk mengelakkan kunci kereta anda daripada hilang yang boleh menyebabkan anda menanggung kos penggantian dan perbelanjaan yang tidak perlu.\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda sedang merancang untuk\u00a0\nmenjual kereta lama\n\u00a0atau\u00a0\nmembeli kereta terpakai\n, anda boleh layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

Apabila ia berlaku, anda mungkin akan berada dalam keadaan panik memikirkan apa yang patut anda lakukan seterusnya.\n\n\n\n\nDengan mengambil langkah yang betul selepas terlibat dalam kemalangan, anda boleh mengelak daripada berlakunya kejadian yang tidak diingini. Berikut adalah perkara-perkara yang perlu anda lakukan jika anda terlibat dalam kemalangan kereta.\n\n\nSelepas Berlakunya Kemalangan\n\n\nBertenang & Periksa Diri Anda untuk Sebarang Kecederaan\n\n\nTarik nafas dalam-dalam, tenangkan diri anda, dan cuba nilai keadaan di dalam kereta anda terlebih dahulu. Periksa sama ada terdapat sebarang kesan kecederaan pada diri anda dan juga orang lain yang berada di dalam kereta. Penting bagi anda untuk kekal tenang dalam keadaan tersebut agar anda boleh buat keputusan yang waras dengan mudah dan pantas jika diperlukan.\n\n\nAlihkan Kereta Anda ke Lokasi Selamat\n\n\nJika kerosakan kereta anda tidak terlalu teruk dan ia masih boleh dipandu, hidupkan lampu kecemasan dan cuba alihkan kereta anda ke bahu jalan atau lorong kecemasan untuk mengelakkan kesesakan jalan raya atau daripada berlakunya lagi satu kemalangan.\n\n\n\n\nPeriksa Bahagian Luaran Kereta Anda\n\n\nSebaik sahaja anda telah pastikan semuanya selamat, keluar dari kereta anda dan pastikan bahawa pihak lain yang terlibat dalam kemalangan tersebut juga berada dalam keadaan selamat. Jika anda dapati mereka mengalami kecederaan teruk, terus hubungi talian kecemasan untuk meminta bantuan. Setelah itu, periksa tahap kerosakan pada kereta anda dengan berjalan mengelilingi kereta anda dan melihat bahagian yang rosak.\n\n\nAmbil Gambar & Saling Bertukar Maklumat Perhubungan\n\n\nSebagai bukti, ambil gambar kerosakan pada kereta anda yang diakibatkan oleh kemalangan. Selain daripada itu, jangan lupa untuk turut mengambil gambar lain seperti lokasi kemalangan dan kesan tayar pada jalan raya. Gambar-gambar ini penting dan dapat menyelamatkan diri anda jika anda dipersalahkan atas kemalangan yang bukan disebabkan oleh anda.\n\n\nJangan lupa juga untuk mencatatkan butiran pemandu dan kenderaan yang terlibat dalam kemalangan tersebut. Ini termasuk:\n\n\n\n\nPlat nombor kereta\n\n\nModel dan warna kereta\n\n\nNama pemandu, alamat, dan nombor telefon\n\n\nNombor kad pengenalan pemandu dan nombor lesen memandu\n\n\nNama saksi, alamat, dan nombor telefon\n\n\n\n\nPersetujuan dengan Pihak Terlibat\n\n\nBergantung kepada tahap kemalangan, anda boleh mencapai persetujuan dengan pihak lain yang terlibat dalam kemalangan untuk menyelesaikan perkara tersebut sesama sendiri, terutamanya jika ia tidak melibatkan kerosakan yang teruk. Dalam kebanyakan kemalangan kecil, pemandu biasanya akan bersetuju untuk membayar ganti rugi tanpa perlu melibatkan pihak polis.\n\n\nTetapi, perlu diambil perhatian bahawa jika kos pembaikan anda lebih rendah daripada tahap yang telah ditetapkan, anda mungkin tidak dapat membuat tuntutan insurans. Jika tahap kerosakan terlalu teruk, anda harus membuat laporan polis.\n\n\nSelepas Kemalangan\n\n\nBuat Laporan Polis\n\n\nAnda perlu membuat laporan polis dalam masa 24 jam selepas kemalangan untuk memastikan laporan tersebut sah. Jangan lupa bawa bersama lesen memandu dan kad pengenalan anda.\n\n\nPegawai yang bertugas di balai polis akan mencatatkan butiran kemalangan dan juga butiran peribadi anda. Kemudian setelah siasatan dilakukan, pegawai polis tersebut akan membuat kesimpulan tentang siapa yang bertanggungjawab atas kemalangan tersebut dan akan mengeluarkan saman. Saman tersebut perlu dibayar dalam masa sebulan.\n\n\nTuntutan Insurans\n\n\nHubungi ejen insurans anda atau talian bantuan insurans anda secepat mungkin jika anda perlu membuat tuntutan insurans. Jika anda didapati bersalah dalam kemalangan tersebut, adalah lebih baik jika anda mengelak daripada membuat tuntutan insurans (jika kerosakan tidak teruk) kerana ia akan menjejaskan Diskaun Tanpa Tuntuan anda (No-Claim Discount \u2013 NCD).\n\n\n\n\nPihak insurans akan menanyakan soalan mengenai kemalangan tersebut dan akan menasihati serta membantu mengatur trak tunda untuk menghantar kereta anda ke bengkel panel yang terdekat. Kegagalan menghantar kereta anda ke bengkel panel akan menyebabkan anda tidak dapat membuat sebarang tuntutan atas kerosakan akibat kemalangan tersebut.\n\n\nMereka juga akan menghantar pelaras kerugian untuk menilai kerosakan pada kenderaan anda dan untuk mengetahui siapa yang bertanggungjawab atas kemalangan. Apabila keputusan sudah dibuat, syarikat insurans akan dimaklumkan tentang jumlah yang anda boleh tuntut daripada kemalangan itu. Tuntutan boleh dilakukan sama ada melalui syarikat insurans anda atau daripada syarikat insurans pihak yang satu lagi.\n\n\nHantar Kereta Anda ke Bengkel Panel\n\n\nJika anda bercadang untuk melakukan tuntutan insurans untuk kerosakan yang dialami oleh kereta anda, anda perlu menghantar kereta anda ke bengkel panel yang telah ditetapkan oleh syarikat insurans anda. Jika anda tidak berbuat demikian, tuntutan insurans anda mungkin tidak akan diluluskan.\n\n\nPerkara yang Perlu Dielakkan jika Terlibat dalam Kemalangan Kereta\n\n\nKemalangan kereta boleh menyebabkan anda menjadi panik dan cemas, terutama sekali jika ia merupakan kali pertama anda terlibat dalam kemalangan.

Ramai yang bagi testimoni kononnya inilah produk terbaik di Malaysia.\u00a0\n\n\nKali ini, kami akan tengok sama ada \u2018barang-barang\u2019 atau aksesori yang kononnya hebat ini adakah sehebat yang dikatakan ataupun cuma \u2018sembang kencang\u2019 dan langsung tak berguna (atau lagi teruk, boleh jahanamkan kereta anda).\u00a0\n\n\nMinyak Enjin Yang Meragukan\u00a0\n\n\nWapcar pernah keluarkan artikel tentang perbuatan \nmencampurkan minyak enjin\n dan juga \nmembeli minyak enjin dari pasar raya\n, tapi yang ini mungkin paling teruk sekali. Ia adalah membeli \nminyak enjin\n yang meragukan dan mendakwa macam-macam tapi sebenarnya boleh merosakkan enjin kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAda satu jenama minyak enjin ini yang mendakwa minyak enjin keluarannya boleh meningkatkan kuasa enjin sebanyak 35% dan menambah baik penggunaan minyak sebanyak 35%.\u00a0\n\n\nRasanya tak perlu lagi nak cakap berbelit-belit kerana syarikat minyak terkemuka pun tak pernah buat dakwaan macam ini. Kenapa? Sebab ia langsung tak logik!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nNak dijadikan cerita lagi, ada pengguna minyak enjin jenama ini yang merana kerana enjin kenderaan mereka rosak. Sekali lagi kami tekankan, jangan berkira kalau nak beli minyak enjin. Kalau tak pasti, beli saja jenama yang terkenal atau beli daripada stesen minyak.\u00a0\n\n\nAlat \u2018Tune\u2019 Enjin Harga RM30\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nDengar nama pun macam tak logik, bukan? Anda beli aksesori ini pada harga RM30, cucuk pada kereta dan ia boleh jimatkan penggunaan minyak sebanyak 15% dan tingkatkan kuasa \nenjin\n sebanyak 35%. Macam mana itu? Alat ini akan mengarahkan ECU (otak kereta anda) untuk ubah fungsi pancitan minyak. Mula-mula sekali, ia ialah idea yang tak masuk akal.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBeginilah, anda dinasihatkan untuk tidak memasang apa-apa alat elektronik yang akan mengganggu fungsi enjin kereta anda. Lagipun, takkanlah anda boleh percaya alat yang berharga RM30 boleh ubah fungsi enjin kereta anda yang jauh lagi mahal?\u00a0\n\n\nAnda kena ingat, pembuat kereta dah melaburkan banyak masa untuk menala kereta keluaran mereka untuk mencapai tahap penggunaan minyak yang kuasa yang betul, untuk memenuhi keperluan pengguna yang pelbagai. Takkanlah mereka tak mampu nak \u2018tune\u2019 enjin kereta keluaran mereka sendiri.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPaling tidak pun, alat ini tidak berfungsi. Paling teruk? Fungsi enjin anda betul-betul berubah dan enjin terus rosak.\u00a0\n\n\nKad Jimat Minyak\n\n\nMacam tak logik kan tapi ya, produk macam ini memang wujud. Kad sebesar kad kredit biasa ini menjanjikan pengurangan penggunaan minyak sebanyak 30% dan ia dijual pada harga cekik darah sebanyak RM130. Macam mana ia berfungsi?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMenurut buah mulut penjual, \u201cPetrol ini cecair mudah terbakar dengan atom aktif yang boleh menyebabkan kebocoran dan pembaziran dengan kerap apabila penutup tangki minyak dibuka. LA Genius Saver berfungsi mengawal pembaziran melalui gelombang yang dihasilkan daripada kad ini. Gelombang ini mengawal wap petrol yang keluar daripada penutup tangki dan memberikan penjimatan sebanyak 30%.\u201d\u00a0\n\n\nTambahan lagi, menurut video di bawah, kad jimat minyak ini boleh memecahkan molekul petrol daripada mikron kepada nano-mikron untuk mencegah pengewapan. Nanti dulu! Apa benda ni?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKami nak tegaskan di sini: pembuat kereta dah habiskan bajet jutaan ringgit menyempurnakan enjin pembakaran dalaman, menjadikan ia bukan sahaja berkuasa tetapi juga jimat minyak. Sama juga bagi syarikat minyak yang melaburkan banyak duit untuk menjadikan formulasi minyak mereka betul untuk menjimatkan penggunaan minyak.\u00a0\n\n\nDah pasti kalau syarikat ni tahu tentang teknologi untuk menjimatkan penggunaan minyak, seperti kad jimat minyak ini, mesti mereka dah guna, bukan? Kalau tidak, kenapa mereka tak hebahkan teknologi ini? Itu bermakna kad jimat minyak ini sebenarnya tak berguna.\u00a0\n\n\nTiub Penambah Kuasa\n\n\nTurut dikenali sebagai \u2018surbo\u2019 atau \u2018turbo mini\u2019, tiub ini didakwa boleh:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMeningkatkan prestasi enjin\n\n\nMenambah baik pecutan\n\n\nPenggunaan minyak yang lebih baik\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSemua ini hanya dengan memasang tiub biasa pada saluran servo vakum brek kereta anda (amaran #1), melalui pancarongga pengambilan atau \nintake manifold \n(amaran #2), pada harga kurang daripada RM80. Apa yang tiub ini buat cumalah tingkatkan aliran udara ke dalam kebuk pembakaran.\u00a0\n\n\nSekali lagi, soalan panas yang sepatutnya ditanyakan, kenapa jurutera langsung tak fikirkan solusi untuk tingkatkan aliran udara? Takkanlah mereka tak tahu benda ini semasa belajar?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSementara itu, ada orang lain yang cukup pandai untuk cipta tiub ini dan jual pada harga yang lebih murah. Takkan mereka ini baik sangat?\u00a0\n\n\nAnda tak sepatutnya memasang atau mencabut saluran servo brek kereta (tak perlu nak diterangkan kot sebab ada perkataan \u2018brek\u2019 di situ), apa lagi nak usik pancarongga pengambilan (intake manifold)? Ada benda yang anda tak sepatutnya usik dalam bahagian enjin dan sistem brek merupakan antara yang anda tak patut usik.\u00a0\n\n\nAksesori Cucuk Dan Pasang Untuk Kurangkan Asap\n\n\nYang terakhir sekali ialah aksesori kecil tapi bergaya yang anda boleh pasangkan pada pangkal 12V kereta anda. Manfaatnya? Macam biasa, boleh jimatkan minyak dan beri lebih kuasa tapi bukan setakat itu saja.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPenjual mendakwa alat ini \u2018membantu kereta keluarkan \nasap\n yang lebih bersih dan mengurangkan pelepasan karsinogenik yang menyebabkan perubahan cuaca global. Hasilnya kurang pencemaran dan udara yang lebih bersih.\u2019\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAnda nak tahu tak betapa terseksanya pengeluar kereta nak patuhi peraturan pengeluaran asap? Kenapa pengeluar kereta tak gunakan teknologi ini, dalam alat yang berharga cuma RM8? Mungkin sebab\u2026, ia langsung tak berguna untuk kurangkan asap kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau benda ini betul-betul berfungsi, tak perlulah \nVolkswegen didenda sebanyak 31.3 bilion Euro\n (kurang lebih RM155 bilion) kerana skandal penipuan pelepasan asap kereta mereka.\u00a0\n\n\nKesimpulan\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk kali entah ke berapa, kami tetap nak ulang lagi benda ini. Kalau ada produk yang nampak saja bagus, belum tentu ia betul-betul bagus. Juga, enjin pembakaran dalaman dah lama wujud dan disempurnakan dari masa ke semasa.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u201cBang, macam silap minyak je tu?\u201d\n\n\nMenggunakan atau menambahkan \u2018barang\u2019 yang disenaraikan ini tidak akan menambahkan kuasa sebanyak 30% atau menjimatkan minyak secara tiba-tiba. Pembuat kereta dan syarikat minyak takkan mampu buat benda macam ini sebabnya ia mustahil untuk dicapai.\u00a0\n\n\nAnda pula macam mana? Pernah tak cuba produk-produk macam ini? Berkesan tak? Kami nak tahu pengalaman anda.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel ini merupakan terjemahan daripada artikel \u201c\nUseless car accessories that do nothing but waste your money\n\u201d yang diterbitkan di laman Wapcar.\n\n", "Tags\naksesori kereta\nscam", "Ahmad Azwadie Azman", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Ia memainkan peranan penting dalam memastikan keselamatan pemandu dan penumpang sepanjang pemanduan. \nSistem brek antikunci atau lebih dikenali sebagai sistem ABS kereta berfungsi mengelakkan tayar daripada terkunci semasa menggunakan brek terutamanya dalam situasi kecemasan.\n \nI\na\n memastikan tayar tidak terkunci semasa anda membrek dan tayar kereta sentiasa bersentuhan dengan jalan. \nSekiranya tayar kereta terkunci, ia boleh menjejaskan pengendalian kereta \u2014 tayar kereta boleh tergelincir dan meningkatkan risiko kemalangan seperti terbabas.\n\n\n\n\nBiasanya, lampu ABS menyala sekiranya sistem brek antikunci kereta anda menghadapi masalah. Jika lampu amaran ini menyala, anda disarankan untuk melakukan pemeriksaan dengan segera. Dengan cara ini, anda dapat mengelakkan sebarang risiko kerosakan atau kemalangan yang lebih serius daripada berlaku.\u00a0\n\n\nApa itu Sistem Brek Antikunci?\n\n\nSistem brek antikunci atau \nanti-lock brake system\n (ABS kereta) merujuk pada sistem yang digunakan untuk mengelakkan pemandu daripada mengunci brek kereta terutamanya dalam situasi kecemasan. Tekanan berlebihan pada brek boleh menyebabkan gandar dan tayar kereta berhenti berputar sepenuhnya. Jika tayar berhenti berputar namun kereta masih lagi bergerak dalam keadaan laju, ia boleh menyebabkan kenderaan hilang kawalan lalu terbabas. Situasi ini secara tidak langsung boleh menyebabkan kecederaan yang serius atau risiko kehilangan nyawa.\n\n\nKetika pemandu menekan brek kereta, sistem ABS akan menetapkan aliran minyak yang disalurkan ke kedua-dua paksi penggerak bergantung pada sistem komputer kereta. Dengan cara ini, ia dapat mengelakkan tayar kereta daripada terkunci dan mengurangkan risiko kereta daripada tergelincir atau terbabas. Secara amnya, sistem ABS tidak menghentikan kereta dengan lebih cepat atau mempamerkan prestasi pembrekan yang lebih baik berbanding sistem brek tradisional. Ia merupakan sistem automatik yang mempraktikkan prinsip pembrekan yang lebih cekap, pantas dengan kawalan pengendalian yang lebih baik.\n\n\nPenggunaan sistem ABS berupaya meningkatkan jarak membrek dengan ketara, menawarkan pengendalian yang lebih baik dan\u00a0mengurangkan risiko kemalangan dan kecederaan yang serius.\n\n\n5 Punca Lampu ABS Menyala\n\n\nLampu ABS menyala pada \ndashboard\n kereta mungkin menandakan masalah pada sistem kereta yang memerlukan perhatian yang serius daripada anda.\u00a0Umumnya, banyak punca yang menyebabkan lampu ABS menyala dan ia tidak semestinya disebabkan oleh sistem ABS. Adakalanya, lampu ABS menyala disebabkan oleh masalah lain yang berlaku pada komponen atau \nsensor\n yang berkaitan. Carsome menyenaraikan lima punca biasa yang menyebabkan lampu ABS menyala seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Modul ABS Tidak Berfungsi\n\n\nModul sistem brek antikunci boleh membentuk kakisan (\ncorrosion\n) selepas sesuatu tempoh penggunaan. Biasanya, masalah pada modul ABS (\nABS module\n) merupakan salah satu sebab paling biasa yang menyebabkan lampu ABS menyala. Modul ABS yang berkarat menghalang sistem mendapatkan maklumat dari\n sensor\n kelajuan yang terdapat pada tayar kereta dan akhirnya menyebabkan lampu amaran menyala pada \ndashboard\n kereta.\u00a0Selain itu, sistem ABS turut berkongsi beberapa komponen penting dengan sistem kawalan cengkaman kenderaan. Sistem kawalan cengkaman secara amnya berfungsi memastikan keempat-empat roda kereta berpusing dengan lancar.\n\n\nJika ia mengesan sebarang masalah seperti pusingan roda yang tidak teratur, ia akan memutuskan kuasa daripada enjin sehingga kawalan cengkaman kembali normal. Oleh sebab kedua-dua sistem ini menggunakan modul kawalan dan sistem diagnostik yang sama, kerosakan pada sistem kawalan cengkaman boleh memberi kesan pada sistem ABS kereta. Ini bermaksud, sebarang masalah pada sistem kawalan cengkaman boleh menyebabkan lampu ABS menyala. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk memeriksa kereta anda terlebih dahulu untuk mengetahui punca sebenar lampu ABS menyala. Ia boleh menyala disebabkan oleh kerosakan pada sistem kawalan cengkaman atau kerosakan pada sistem ABS itu sendiri.\n\n\nSimptom Modul ABS Rosak:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPedal brek menjadi kurang responsif dari semasa ke semasa \n\u2014 \nperlu menekan pedal brek dengan lebih keras untuk menghentikan kereta.\n\n\nLampu amaran enjin atau lampu ABS akan menyala pada\n dashboard\n.\n\n\nBunyi metal \ncracking\n terutamanya semasa anda menekan brek.\n\n\nBrek terkunci meskipun semasa pemanduan biasa.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Minyak Brek Kurang\n\n\nMinyak brek memainkan peranan penting dalam sistem brek kenderaan terutamanya dalam mengawal tekanan brek dalam sistem brek antikunci. Sistem brek hidraulik misalnya, menggunakan kekuatan silinder yang menekan cecair untuk menutup pad brek bagi menghentikan kereta. Oleh sebab itu, anda memerlukan kuantiti minyak brek yang mencukupi dalam brek sistem untuk memastikannya berfungsi dengan baik. Kebocoran minyak brek merupakan masalah yang biasa berlaku yang menyebabkan minyak brek berkurangan dan berada pada tahap yang rendah. Ia secara tidak langsung mengurangkan kuantiti sebenar yang diperlukan oleh sistem dan boleh menjejaskan prestasi sistem brek. Biasanya, lampu amaran ABS akan menyala sekiranya sistem kereta mengesan permasalahan.\n\n\nSimptom Minyak Brek Kurang\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPedal brek menjadi kurang responsif berbanding biasa \n\u2014 \nkereta mengambil masa yang lama untuk berhenti.\n\n\nBunyi\n scraping\n atau\n grinding\n sama seperti bunyi yang dihasilkan oleh pad brek yang haus.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. \nSensor\n Kelajuan Kereta Rosak\n\n\nTayar kereta biasanya dilengkapi dengan\n sensor\n kelajuan yang berfungsi mengira kadar pergerakan tayar. Maklumat tentang kadar kelajuan setiap pusingan tayar ini kemudiannya akan dihantar kepada sistem brek antikunci. Sekiranya\n sensor\n kelajuan kereta mengesan salah satu tayar kereta bergerak pada kelajuan yang tidak normal, sistem kereta akan meningkatkan tekanan minyak brek pada tayar berkaitan. Ia sekali gus membolehkan tayar tersebut bergerak pada kelajuan normal sama seperti tayar yang lain. Dalam erti kata lain, ia akan menyesuaikan dan mengalihkan kuasa ke bahagian tayar yang lain untuk mengimbanginya.\n\n\nNamun begitu, sekiranya terdapat sebarang masalah pada\n sensor\n kelajuan seperti kotor atau rosak, ia mungkin tidak dapat berfungsi dengan baik dan menjejaskan keupayaannya untuk menghantar maklumat penting sebegini kepada sistem kereta. Oleh sebab itu, sistem ABS akan menyalakan lampu pada\n dashboard\n sekiranya mengesan masalah ini sebagai amaran kepada pengguna.\n\n\nSimptom Sensor Kelajuan Rosak\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLampu kawalan cengkaman menyala.\n\n\nKereta mengambil masa yang lama untuk berhenti, meskipun lampu amaran ABS tidak menyala.\n\n\nKereta hilang kawalan atau cengkaman terutamanya ketika membrek dengan kuat.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Pam atau Injap Hidraulik Tidak Responsif\n\n\nSecara amnya, sistem ABS mengawal tekanan minyak brek melalui pam hidraulik. Sekiranya salah satu tayar kereta bergerak pada kelajuan yang berbeza berbanding tayar kereta yang lain, \nsensor\n kelajuan akan mengesannya dan memberi amaran kepada sistem brek antikunci. Sistem kereta kemudiannya akan mengaktifkan pam hidraulik untuk meningkatkan tekanan minyak brek bagi mengimbangi kelajuan tayar dan membolehkan tayar mengekalkan cengkaman pada permukaan jalan.\n\n\nNamun sekiranya pam atau injap hidraulik rosak dan tidak berfungsi dengan baik, ia boleh menyebabkan lampu amaran ABS menyala. Kedua-dua komponen ini biasanya haus atau rosak disebabkan oleh kotoran atau \nmetal shaving\n dalam minyak brek bergantung pada penggunaan. Anda disarankan untuk periksa tahap minyak brek setiap kali anda menyelenggara brek kereta untuk memastikannya sentiasa berada dalam keadaan baik.\n\n\nSimptom Pam/Injap Hidraulik Rosak\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrestasi brek menurun dan semakin teruk dari semasa ke semasa.\n\n\nPrestasi brek yang tidak menentu \u2014 adakalanya baik dan adakalanya seperti kehilangan kuasa.\n\n\nMinyak brek bocor sama ada dari bahagian silinder atau \nfirewall\n di bahagian dalam kereta.\n\n\nSekiranya bocor, minyak brek akan berkurangan dan menyebabkan udara masuk ke dalam sistem \u2014 menyebabkan brek terasa \nspongy\n.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Fius Terbakar\n\n\nLampu amaran biasanya akan menyala sekiranya sistem komputer kereta mengesan sebarang kerosakan atau masalah pada mana-mana bahagian dan komponen kereta. Lampu ABS kereta akan menyala sekiranya fius terbakar atau terdapat wayar rosak antara \ncontroller\n dan \nsensor\n sistem. Sama seperti komponen elektrik kereta yang lain, sistem ABS dilengkapi dengan fiusnya yang tersendiri dan terdedah kepada risiko kerosakan seperti terbakar. Sekiranya fius terbakar, sistem akan mengaktifkan isyarat amaran kepada pengguna. Lampu ABS serta lampu amaran enjin akan menyala untuk memberitahu pengguna mengenai masalah kerosakan pada bahagian ini.\n\n\nOleh sebab itu, anda mungkin boleh mempertimbangkan untuk memeriksa kotak fius terlebih dahulu memandangkan komponen ini mudah terbakar sekiranya lampu amaran ini menyala. Pastikan fius tidak meletup atau terbakar sebelum anda menghabiskan masa mengenal pasti punca kerosakan atau menggantikan komponen atau bahagian lain yang tidak berkaitan. Biasanya, fius terletak dibahagian panel fius di bawah \ndashboard\n kereta.\n\n\nSimptom Fius Terbakar\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLampu ABS menyala secara tiba-tiba tanpa simptom yang berkaitan seperti yang dinyatakan di atas.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdakah Selamat Memandu Sekiranya Lampu ABS Menyala?\n\n\nSecara amnya, anda masih boleh meneruskan perjalanan meskipun lampu ABS kereta anda menyala. Ini kerana, sistem brek kereta anda masih berfungsi seperti biasa dan masih boleh digunakan untuk memperlahankan kenderaan anda. Namun begitu, keupayaan dan kemampuan anda untuk menghentikan kereta terutamanya dalam situasi kecemasan adalah terhad dan anda terdedah kepada risiko tayar kereta terkunci. Tayar yang terkunci boleh menjejaskan kualiti dan prestasi pengendalian.\n\n\nApa yang Perlu Dilakukan Sekiranya Lampu ABS Menyala?\n\n\nLampu ABS menyala pada \ndashboard\n kereta menandakan terdapat kemungkinan sistem brek antikunci kereta anda rosak atau mengalami masalah. Ini bermaksud, sekiranya anda perlu menekan brek dengan cepat dalam situasi kecemasan, prestasinya mungkin tidak secekap dan sepantas yang anda mahukan. Malah, ia mungkin boleh menyebabkan risiko kecederaan dan kemalangan yang lebih serius. Sekiranya lampu ABS kereta anda menyala, perkara pertama yang boleh anda lakukan ialah mencari tempat yang selamat untuk berhenti dan matikan enjin untuk seketika. Kemudian, hidupkan semula enjin kereta anda.\n\n\nSama seperti peralatan elektrik yang lain (komputer atau telefon), mula semula sistem atau \nsystem restart \nmembolehkan sistem memeriksa semula semua \nsensor\n untuk mengesan sebarang kerosakan atau ketidaknormalan dalam sistem ABS. Biasanya, cara ini boleh membantu menyelesaikan masalah lampu ABS menyala. Namun begitu, dalam sesetengah keadaan, cara ini mungkin tidak membantu. Jika lampu ABS masih menyala setelah anda mula semula sistem, bawa kereta anda ke bengkel atau pusat servis berdekatan untuk pemeriksaan lanjut. Berhati-hati dan brek perlahan-lahan sekiranya perlu. Elakkan brek secara agresif atau cepat.\n\n\nNormal: Lampu ABS Menyala dan Terpadam Selepas Kereta Dihidupkan\n\n\nSistem ABS akan menjalankan pemeriksaan kendiri (\nself-check\n) setiap kali anda menghidupkan enjin. Setelah enjin dihidupkan, lampu ABS akan menyala seketika sebelum terpadam. Ia biasanya mengambil masa dalam dua hingga empat saat bergantung pada jenis kereta anda. Namun begitu, sekiranya lampu ABS menyala lebih lama berbanding biasa, besar kemungkinan menandakan sistem ABS kereta anda menghadapi masalah yang memerlukan pemerhatian segera.\n\n\nTidak Normal: Lampu ABS Menyala Secara Tiba-tiba Semasa Sedang Memandu\n\n\nSekiranya lampu ABS menyala secara tiba-tiba semasa anda sedang memandu, besar kemungkinan sistem kereta mengesan terdapat masalah dengan sistem brek antikunci kereta anda. Seperti dinyatakan di atas, meskipun lampu amaran ini menyala, sistem brek kereta masih lagi berfungsi seperti biasa dan berada dalam keadaan baik. Namun begitu, keupayaan anda untuk menghentikan kereta dalam situasi kecemasan adalah terhad dan boleh membahayakan nyawa anda. Lakukan pemeriksaan segera di bengkel atau pusat servis kereta berdekatan untuk keselamatan anda.\n\n\nNamun begitu, sekiranya lampu ABS menyala beserta lampu amaran brek \u2014 anda tidak digalakkan untuk meneruskan perjalanan anda. Lampu amaran brek menyala menandakan masalah pada sistem brek kereta yang mungkin boleh menjejaskan kemampuan kereta anda membrek dengan lebih baik. Dapatkan bantuan lori tunda untuk membawa kereta anda ke bengkel atau pusat servis berdekatan sekiranya kedua-dua lampu amaran brek dan lampu ABS menyala.\n\n\nJangan abaikan lampu amaran yang menyala pada \ndashboard\n kereta anda. Pengabaian aspek penting ini bukan sahaja boleh menyebabkan kos pembaikan dan penggantian yang lebih tinggi, malah boleh menjejaskan\n nilai \ntrade-in\n atau jualan semula kereta\n anda.\u00a0Sekiranya anda ingin\u00a0\nmembeli\n \nkereta\u00a0\nsecond hand\n\u00a0\natau\n\u00a0\nmenjual kereta terpakai\n, layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

Secara amnya, terdapat beberapa jenis lampu amaran kereta yang biasa ditemui, dan biasanya setiap jenis lampu amaran ini dibezakan mengikut kategori warna bergantung pada tahap keseriusan masalah \u2013 merah, amber, hijau dan biru.\n\n\n\n\nSecara amnya, lampu amaran bertindak sebagai orang tengah antara kereta dan pemilik kenderaan. Ia berfungsi menyampaikan mesej tertentu kepada pemilik sekiranya berlaku sesuatu yang tidak kena pada mana-mana komponen kereta. Biasanya, lampu amaran akan menyala buat beberapa saat setelah enjin kereta dihidupkan dan akan terpadam setelah beberapa ketika. Namun sekiranya ia masih menyala setelah beberapa ketika, ia mungkin menandakan masalah tertentu pada mana-mana komponen kereta anda.\n\n\nApa Tanda Lampu Amaran Kereta Menyala dan Apa Tindakan yang Perlu Saya Lakukan?\n\n\nSecara amnya, lampu amaran pada \ndashboard\n kereta terdiri daripada setiap warna yang berbeza yang menandakan tahap keseriusan masalah. Lampu amaran berwarna hijau dan biru menandakan ada fungsi tertentu kereta yang sedang digunakan seperti lampu depan atau fungsi \ncruise control\n. Lampu amaran berwarna amber pula menandakan risiko bahaya atau amaran tahap rendah \u2013 anda masih lagi boleh meneruskan pemanduan seperti biasa. Namun begitu, anda disarankan untuk memeriksa dan menyelenggara kereta anda secepat mungkin untuk kepastian.\n\n\nLampu \ndashboard\n menyala berwarna merah pula menandakan tahap keseriusan masalah dan risiko bahaya tahap tinggi. Dalam erti kata lain, ia menandakan terdapat masalah atau kerosakan serius pada komponen utama kereta. Ini bermaksud anda tidak boleh boleh mengambil mudah dan mengabaikannya \u2013 berhentikan kereta anda di lokasi yang selamat. Jika kereta masih boleh dipandu, segera bawa kereta anda ke bengkel berdekatan untuk pemeriksaan lanjut. Lampu amaran kereta seperti lampu amaran suhu enjin, lampu amaran minyak enjin, lampu amaran brek tangan merupakan antara lampu amaran kereta (tahap serius) yang sering ditemui.\n\n\nOleh sebab itu, penting untuk anda memahami punca lampu minyak enjin menyala (termasuk lampu amaran brek tangan dan lampu amaran suhu enjin) serta langkah pencegahan yang boleh anda lakukan. Jika diabaikan, masalah kecil ini boleh menjadi lebih besar dan menyebabkan kos pembaikan dan penyelenggaraan yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\nCepat Berhenti! Jangan \nDrive\n Kereta Anda Sekiranya 3 Lampu \nDashboard\n Menyala\n\n\nLampu amaran yang menyala pada \ndashboard\n kereta boleh membantu anda mengenal pasti sebarang masalah atau punca kerosakan kereta yang mungkin boleh menjejaskan keselamatan anda. Lampu amaran berwarna merah misalnya, menandakan kereta anda menghadapi masalah atau kerosakan pada mana-mana komponen utama yang memerlukan pemeriksaan dan pemerhatian segera. Panduan berikut boleh membantu anda memahami tiga simbol penunjuk amaran berwarna merah yang biasa anda temui pada \ndashboard\n kereta anda:\n\n\n\n\n1. Lampu Amaran Suhu Enjin\n\n\nJika anda mendapati lampu amaran suhu enjin menyala (atau lampu \noverheat\n menyala) pada \ndashboard\n kereta anda, anda disarankan untuk segera memeriksa kereta anda meskipun anda tidak mengesan sebarang permasalahan semasa memandu. Ini kerana, penunjuk amaran ini biasanya menyala sebagai amaran terhadap masalah atau kerosakan yang mungkin berlaku pada bahagian enjin kenderaan. Ia mungkin menyala disebabkan oleh kerosakan pada \nsensor\n amaran atau permasalahan lain yang memerlukan pemerhatian serius.\n\n\nPunca Lampu Amaran Suhu Enjin Menyala:\n Enjin kereta \noverheat\n atau terlalu panas.\n\n\nApa Yang Perlu Dilakukan:\n Berhentikan kereta di lokasi selamat. Matikan enjin dan biarkan enjin kereta sejuk buat seketika untuk mengelakkan kerosakan enjin yang lebih serius.\n\n\nPunca Enjin Kereta\n Overheat\n\n\nEnjin kereta \noverheat\n biasanya berlaku disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor. Oleh sebab itu, pemeriksaan segera perlu dilakukan untuk mengesan punca kerosakan dan mengelakkan kerosakan yang lebih serius. Berikut merupakan antara punca biasa yang menyebabkan enjin kereta \noverheat\n:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCecair penyejuk kereta yang rendah.\n Kebanyakan kereta moden hari ini dilengkapi dengan sistem penyejukan bagi menghalang kereta daripada mengalami kepanasan lampau. Kandungan cecair penyejuk yang rendah boleh menyebabkan enjin kereta \noverheat\n.\n\n\nSistem penyejukan bocor.\n Kebocoran cecair penyejuk boleh berlaku disebabkan oleh penutup radiator yang longgar atau kebocoran pada bahagian dalaman atau luaran sistem.\n\n\nThermostat\n tidak berfungsi. \nFungsi \nthermostat\n kereta adalah untuk mengawal suhu kereta. Jika komponen ini rosak, ia biasanya akan memaparkan bacaan salah (\nfalse reading\n) dan jika dibiarkan boleh menyebabkan enjin kereta berasap.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Lampu Amaran Brek Tangan\n\n\nSelain tanda seru (!), ada sesetengah model kereta memaparkan huruf \u2018P\u2019 pada \ndashboard \nkereta sebagai tanda oenunjuk amaran brek tangan menyala. Lampu amaran brek tangan biasanya akan menyala sekiranya anda tidak melepaskan brek tangan kereta anda dengan sempurna. Ia biasanya akan terpadam setelah brek tangan dilepaskan sepenuhnya. Namun sekiranya lampu ini masih lagi menyala setelah brek tangan kereta anda dijatuhkan atau menyala secara tiba-tiba semasa memandu, berhentikan kereta anda dan minta bantuan dengan segera.\n\n\nJika lampu amaran ini menyala semasa anda memandu, ia mungkin berlaku disebabkan oleh paras cecair minyak brek yang terlalu rendah atau disebabkan oleh\n sensor\n pad brek yang telah rosak. Dalam sesetengah keadaan, ia mungkin juga berlaku disebabkan oleh permasalahan pada sistem brek kereta anda. Jika pedal brek terasa\n spongy\n atau tenggelam sepenuhnya ketika ditekan \u2013 ia menandakan masalah kritikal pada sistem brek yang memerlukan pembaikan segera.\n\n\nPunca Lampu Amaran Brek Tangan Menyala:\n Brek tangan tidak dilepaskan sepenuhnya atau paras cecair minyak brek terlalu rendah.\n\n\nApa Yang Perlu Dilakukan:\n Jika lampu amaran ini berkelip-kelip atau menyala kemudian terpadam setelah beberapa ketika, bawa kereta anda ke bengkel secepat mungkin untuk pemeriksaan.\n\n\n\n\n3. Lampu Amaran Tekanan Minyak Enjin\n\n\nLampu amaran minyak enjin merupakan salah satu lampu amaran yang memerlukan pemerhatian serius anda. Kenapa lampu minyak enjin menyala? Biasanya, lampu amaran tekanan enjin ini akan menyala sekiranya sistem mengesan sebarang permasalahan pada sistem tekanan minyak enjin. Secara amnya, tekanan minyak enjin yang dijana oleh pam minyak (\nfuel pump \nkereta) memastikan minyak enjin diedarkan ke seluruh bahagian enjin mengikut kuantiti yang diperlukan. Masalah seperti kebocoran, \nfuel pump\n kereta rosak\n atau kuantiti minyak enjin yang terlalu sedikit boleh menyebabkan lampu minyak enjin menyala.\n\n\nPunca Lampu Minyak Enjin Menyala:\n Paras minyak enjin terlalu rendah atau permasalahan pada sistem tekanan minyak enjin.\n\n\nApa Yang Perlu Dilakukan: \nBerhentikan kereta di lokasi selamat, matikan enjin dengan segera dan hubungi mekanik kereta anda untuk pemeriksaan lanjut bagi mengelakkan kerosakan yang lebih serius.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nLampu ABS Menyala? 5 Punca, Perkara Yang Perlu Anda Tahu Mengenai Lampu ABS\n\n\nSecara amnya, anda disarankan untuk memberi perhatian yang serius terhadap lampu \nwarning\n kereta\u00a0anda. Selain dapat mengelakkan kos pembaikan yang lebih tinggi dan kerosakan kereta yang lebih teruk, ia juga dapat menjamin keselamatan anda sepanjang pemanduan.

Oleh sebab itu, penting untuk anda memastikan lampu kereta sentiasa berada dalam keadaan baik dan selamat. Lampu kereta yang berada dalam keadaan baik bukan sahaja boleh meningkatkan darjah kebolehlihatan, tetapi turut mengurangkan risiko kemalangan jalan raya. Menurut \nKajian Keselamatan Jalan Raya Malaysia\n (MIROS), sebanyak 4,636 jumlah kematian dilaporkan pada tahun 2020 akibat kemalangan jalan raya.\n\n\n\n\nJenis Lampu, Fungsi Lampu Kereta\n\n\nSecara amnya, kebanyakan kereta dilengkapi dengan beberapa jenis lampu dan setiap daripadanya memainkan fungsi dan peranan yang tersendiri. Bagi anda yang mungkin tidak biasa dengan jenis lampu dan fungsi lampu kereta, Carsome menyenaraikan maklumat berikut untuk rujukan dan panduan anda:\n\n\n1. Lampu Hadapan Kereta\n\n\nSetiap kenderaan dilengkapi dengan dua jenis lampu depan atau \nheadlights \u2013 \nalur rendah (\nlow beam\n) dan alur tinggi (\nhigh beam\n). Kedua-dua lampu ini membolehkan pemandu melihat jalan raya dengan jelas selain memberi isyarat kepada pemandu lain tentang kewujudan kenderaan anda terutamanya dalam keadaan persekitaran yang gelap.\n\n\n\n\nLampu rendah memberikan pencahayaan hadapan dan lateral dalam jarak pendek sekitar 5 meter. Penggunaan lampu ini biasanya digunakan dalam situasi pemanduan biasa pada waktu malam. Lampu ini juga tidak menyilaukan pengguna jalan raya yang lain.\n\n\nLampu tinggi kereta memberikan pencahayaan yang lebih cerah dengan jarak jangkauan melebihi 10 meter. Penggunaan lampu ini boleh menyebabkan silau kepada pengguna jalan raya yang lain. Anda disarankan untuk menggunakan lampu tinggi sekiranya tiada kenderaan lain di hadapan sama ada di laluan sama atau laluan bertentangan.\n\n\n\n\nJenis Mentol Lampu: Lampu Halogen, Lampu HID atau Lampu LED?\n\n\nUmumnya, terdapat pelbagai jenis lampu kereta yang dijual di pasaran yang boleh dijadikan pilihan. Oleh sebab itu, Carsome menyenaraikan jenis lampu kereta yang biasa digunakan di Malaysia untuk panduan dan rujukan anda. Maklumat ini secara tidak langsung boleh membantu anda membuat keputusan yang tepat memilih jenis mentol lampu yang boleh memberi keuntungan jangka panjang kepada anda.\n\n\nLampu Depan Halogen\n\n\nLampu depan halogen merupakan antara jenis mentol lampu yang paling banyak digunakan di Malaysia. Hampir 80 peratus daripada keseluruhan kenderaan hari ini menggunakan lampu depan halogen. Lampu halogen ini juga dikatakan lebih murah dan lebih mudah untuk digantikan. Namun begitu, jenis lampu halogen ini tidak mempunyai jangka hayat yang lama. Ia juga menggunakan banyak tenaga dan merekodkan penggunaan bateri kereta yang tinggi.\n\n\nLampu HID Kereta\n\n\nHigh-Intensity Discharge\n atau lampu HID merujuk pada teknologi yang menghasilkan cahaya dengan mengalirkan arus antara dua elektrod dalam mentol lampu dengan gas terion. Secara amnya, terdapat pelbagai variasi atau jenis lampu HID dalam pasaran \u2013 Xenon adalah jenis lampu HID paling popular yang digunakan untuk lampu depan. Lampu HID menghasilkan sinaran cahaya dua kali lebih terang berbanding lampu halogen, dan sedikit lebih terang berbanding lampu LED.\n\n\nLampu HID dikatakan lebih cekap tenaga berbanding lampu halogen, namun kurang cekap berbanding lampu LED. Oleh sebab cahaya yang dihasilkan lampu HID sangat terang, ia berpotensi menyebabkan silau kepada pemandu lain.\n\n\nLampu LED Kereta\n\n\nLampu LED merupakan antara alternatif lain selain lampu halogen dan lampu HID. Ia dikatakan lebih cerah, lebih tahan lama dan tidak menggunakan banyak tenaga berbanding lampu HID. Penggunaan lampu jenis ini juga dikatakan semakin popular disebabkan oleh jangka masa penggunaan yang lebih lama. Oleh sebab lampu ini dikatakan boleh bertahan lebih lama, ia biasanya dijual pada harga yang lebih mahal berbanding lampu halogen dan lampu HID.\n\n\nNamun begitu, jika mengambil kira aspek ketahanan, kecekapan dan pencahayaan yang lebih baik, harga yang ditawarkan adalah berbaloi dan setanding dengan kualiti yang ditawarkan. Malah, lampu LED juga tidak menyebabkan silau yang ketara seperti lampu HID.\n\n\n2. Lampu Belakang\n\n\nLampu belakang atau \ntaillights\n menghasilkan cahaya lampu berwarna merah dan akan menyala sekiranya lampu depan dinyalakan. Ia membolehkan pemandu lain yang berada di belakang menyedari kewujudan kenderaan di hadapan. Selain itu, ia juga membolehkan mereka merancang jarak yang selamat dengan kenderaan di hadapan terutamanya semasa pemanduan pada waktu malam. Pilihan warna merah sebagai lampu belakang didorong oleh hasil kajian sains dan teknikal sifat warna merah, dan merujuk pada fenomena pembiasan cahaya. Dalam erti kata lain, warna merah boleh dilihat dari jauh meskipun dalam cuaca hujan, kabus, ribut atau berlaku perubahan suhu udara.\n\n\n3. Lampu Pencahayaan Siang\n\n\nSeperti namanya, lampu pencahayaan siang atau \ndaytime running lights\n berfungsi untuk penggunaan pada waktu siang. Lampu pencahayaan siang biasanya akan menyala secara automatik sebaik sahaja enjin kereta dihidupkan. Lampu jenis ini tidak menggantikan fungsi lampu depan kerana ia akan menyala tanpa mengaktifkan fungsi lampu belakang. Ia direka untuk memudahkan pengguna lain melihat kenderaan anda terutamanya ketika lampu depan tidak dinyalakan.\n\n\n4. Lampu Kabus\n\n\nLampu kabus atau\n fog lights\n dipasang lebih rendah pada bahagian hadapan kereta. Ia bertujuan untuk mengelakkan cahaya daripada memantul semula dan menyilaukan pemandu. Penggunaan lampu kabus adalah digalakkan semasa cuaca berkabus, jerebu, ribut atau hujan lebat kerana ia dapat membantu meningkatkan tahap kebolehlihatan pemanduan. Ini kerana, lampu depan biasanya tidak berupaya membantu meningkatkan jarak penglihatan disebabkan oleh sebaran cahaya yang terhad terutamanya dalam keadaan cuaca sebegini.\n\n\nBagi lampu kabus belakang pula, ia dicipta untuk meningkatkan tahap kebolehlihatan kereta. Ia membolehkan\u00a0kereta anda mudah dilihat oleh pemandu dari arah belakang. Lampu kabus belakang dikatakan lebih cerah berbanding lampu kabus depan atau kira-kira 30 kali ganda lebih cerah berbanding lampu biasa. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk menggunakan lampu kabus dalam situasi tertentu sahaja untuk mengelakkan silau kepada pengguna jalan raya yang lain.\n\n\nMeskipun kedua-dua lampu kabus menggunakan simbol lampu amaran yang hampir sama, anda boleh membezakan kedua-duanya melalui warna seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\nhijau untuk lampu kabus depan;\n\n\nkuning untuk lampu kabus belakang.\n\n\n\n\n5. Lampu\n Signal\n Kereta\n\n\nLampu \nsignal\n kereta biasanya terletak bersebelahan lampu hadapan dan lampu belakang. Ia akan memberi isyarat berkelip sekiranya digunakan sebagai amaran kepada pengguna atau kenderaan lain bahawa anda akan memperlahankan kenderaan untuk membelok ke kini atau kanan.\n\n\n6. Lampu Brek\n\n\nSama seperti lampu belakang, lampu brek yang menyala semasa brek ditekan turut berwarna merah. Lampu brek akan menyala sekiranya brek ditekan menandakan anda sedang memperlahankan atau memberhentikan kenderaan anda. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk sentiasa memeriksa keadaan lampu brek termasuk lampu brek ketiga. Lampu brek perlu sentiasa berada dalam keadaan baik untuk keselamatan anda semasa berada di jalan raya. Umumnya, lampu brek tak menyala boleh berlaku disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\nLampu brek tak menyala boleh berpunca daripada mentol lampu yang terbakar, mentol tidak dipasang dengan baik, sambungan wayar yang tidak kemas atau disebabkan oleh kerosakan fius.\n\n\nSatu lampu brek tidak menyala \u2013 besar kemungkinan disebabkan mentol lampu terbakar, gantikan dengan mentol lampu baharu.\n\n\nKedua-dua lampu brek tidak menyala \u2013 besar kemungkinan disebabkan oleh kerosakan fius, bawa ke bengkel berdekatan untuk pemeriksaan lanjut.\n\n\n\n\n7. Lampu \nHazard\n\n\nLampu bahaya atau \nhazard lights\n akan menghasilkan isyarat berkelip serentak di bahagian kiri dan kanan. Ia berfungsi untuk memberi amaran kepada pemandu lain bahawa kenderaan anda sedang mengalami masalah atau kerosakan. Selain itu, anda juga boleh menyalakan lampu \nhazard\n sekiranya anda menyedari terdapat bahaya di hadapan untuk memberi amaran kepada pemandu lain bahawa anda sedang memperlahankan kenderaan anda. Jika boleh, elakkan penggunaan yang tidak wajar seperti menyalakan lampu \nhazard\n semasa hujan lebat.\n\n\n8. Lampu Undur\n\n\nLampu ini biasanya berwarna kuning keputihan, ia akan menyala untuk memberi amaran kepada kenderaan lain bahawa kenderaan anda akan bergerak ke belakang dan memberi isyarat kepada kenderaan di belakang untuk menjaga jarak yang selamat dengan kereta anda.\n\n\n9. Lampu Dalam Kereta\n\n\nLampu ini terletak di bahagian dalam ruang kabin kenderaan. Ia digunakan untuk mencerahkan ruang kabin bagi membolehkan pemandu atau penumpang menetapkan navigasi, mencari barang dan sebagainya dengan selamat. Lampu dalam kereta biasanya berwarna kuning redup supaya kadar kecerahannya tidak mengganggu pandangan kenderaan belakang. Lampu ini juga tidak boleh digunakan untuk jangka masa panjang kerana ia boleh menyebabkan bateri kereta anda lemah.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nTanda Bateri Kereta Kong, Tip Penjagaan Bateri Kereta Anda Perlu Tahu\n\n\n\n\nLampu \nSpotlight\n Kereta, Lampu Mata Arah, Lampu Berkelip, Lampu Putih yang Dibenarkan JPJ?\n\n\nPengubahsuaian kereta\n \ndengan menambahkan aksesori kereta tertentu sememangnya menambahkan nilai estetika kereta. Namun begitu, pengubahsuaian kereta merupakan suatu tindakan yang menyalahi undang-undang yang mungkin boleh menyebabkan anda disaman atau dikompaun jika tidak mengikut spesifikasi yang betul. Carsome menyenaraikan jenis penggunaan lampu kereta yang tidak dibenarkan oleh JPJ untuk panduan dan rujukan anda:\n\n\n1. Lampu Putih\n\n\nLampu HID atau lampu putih yang dipasang secara aksesori (retrofit) dengan kuasa yang melebihi standard yang ditetapkan adalah tidak dibenarkan. Ini kerana, lampu putih berpotensi mengganggu jarak penglihatan dan boleh membahayakan pengguna jalan raya yang lain. Secara amnya, lampu HID atau \nHigh Intensity Discharged\n menggunakan gas Xenon dan tidak menggunakan filamen. Pemasangan lampu ini secara aksesori adalah tidak dibenarkan namun tertakluk kepada peraturan-peraturan tertentu. Lampu putih yang dibenarkan JPJ tertakluk pada penukaran keseluruhan sistem lampu dan mendapat akreditasi daripada badan yang diberi kuasa seperti SIRIM.\n\n\nMengikut peraturan lampu kereta JPJ, kenderaan yang menggunakan lampu HID yang dipasang secara aksesori boleh dikenakan tindakan di bawah Kaedah 94 Kaedah-kaedah Kenderaan Bermotor (Pembinaan dan Kegunaan) 1959. Pemilik kenderaan yang bersalah boleh didenda di bawah seksyen \n119(1) APJ 1987\n sehingga RM2,000 atau penjara bagi tempoh tidak lebih 6 bulan.\n\n\n2. Lampu Berkelip\n\n\nPenggunaan aksesori lampu tambahan yang berkelip-kelip selain\n signal\n kereta juga adalah tidak dibenarkan. Ia bukan sahaja mengganggu fokus pengguna jalan raya yang lain tetapi boleh menyebabkan silau yang meningkatkan risiko kemalangan. Kebanyakan pengguna hari ini cenderung mengubah suai lampu brek biasa kepada lampu brek berkelip-kelip. Selain salah di sisi undang-undang, pengubahsuaian sebegini juga boleh membuatkan tekanan darah pengguna atau pemandu di belakang naik mendadak.\n\n\n3. \nSmoke\n Lampu Kereta atau Lampu Digelapkan\n\n\nSelain penggunaan cahaya lampu yang terlalu cerah, lampu yang digelapkan (\nsmoked\n) sehingga menjadi terlalu samar, gelap atau kelam turut menjadi satu kesalahan. Lampu kereta malap atau digelapkan sama ada menggunakan pelekat, lapisan filem gelap (\ntinted\n lampu kereta) atau semburan cat boleh mengganggu tahap pencahayaan. Penggunaan lampu yang digelapkan boleh mengganggu tahap ketelusan pencahayaan pada waktu malam dan boleh menjadi lebih teruk pada waktu siang.\n\n\nIni kerana, cahaya matahari mengurangkan kadar kebolehlihatan lampu terutamanya semasa anda menekan brek, menggunakan \nsignal\n dan sebagainya. Pengubahsuaian sebegini boleh menyukarkan pengguna lain untuk menganggarkan jarak dan kedudukan sebenar kereta anda sekali gus boleh membahayakan nyawa anda dan ahli keluarga anda.\n\n\n4. Lampu \nSpotlight\n Kereta\n\n\nSecara amnya, pemasangan lampu \nspotlight\n hanya dibenarkan pada \nkenderaan jenis 4\u00d74\n untuk penggunaan semasa aktiviti \noff-road\n sahaja dan hendaklah ditutup apabila digunakan di atas jalan raya. Ia mestilah berwarna putih atau \namber,\n dan hanya boleh dipasang di bahagian hadapan kenderaan sebagai tambahan kepada lampu sedia ada. Selain itu, pemasangan lampu \nspotlight\n pada bahagian atas bumbung kenderaan adalah tidak dibenarkan.\n\n\n5. Lampu Mata Arah\n\n\nKenderaan persendirian tidak dibenarkan sama sekali menggunakan lampu mata arah atau \nbeacon light\n. Lampu mata arah merupakan lampu penanda amaran pelbagai warna dan dikategorikan sebagai komponen aksesori yang dipasang pada bahagian bumbung sesebuah kenderaan. Menurut Kaedah 24, Kaedah-kaedah Kenderaan Motor (Lalulintas Jalan) 1959, kenderaan Polis, Bomba, Ambulans dan JPJ sahaja yang dibenarkan mendapat hak haluan trafik (\npriority over traffic\n). Meskipun begitu, ia tertakluk kepada pengecualian dengan kebenaran Ketua Pengarah JPJ Malaysia.\n\n\nTips Penjagaan dan Penggunaan Lampu Kereta\n\n\nKebanyakan lampu kereta mengalami masalah kekuningan atau kekaburan akibat terdedah kepada sinaran cahaya matahari. Sebagai pemilik kereta, anda disarankan untuk mempraktikkan aspek penggunaan dan penjagaan seperti berikut untuk memanjangkan jangka hayat lampu kereta anda:\n\n\nPemeriksaan Berkala\n\n\nAnda disarankan untuk sentiasa memeriksa lampu kereta anda supaya ia sentiasa berada dalam keadaan baik. Lakukan pemeriksaan secara berkala untuk memastikan komponen lampu kereta sentiasa berada dalam keadaan baik. Lampu kereta malap atau lampu tinggi kereta tidak menyala merupakan antara kerosakan lampu kereta yang boleh mengurangkan tahap kebolehlihatan kereta anda terutamanya pada waktu malam.\n\n\nKenali Jenis Lampu, Fungsi Lampu Kereta\n\n\nAnda juga disarankan untuk mengenali jenis lampu yang tersedia pada kereta anda. Misalnya, anda perlu elakkan penggunaan lampu tinggi sekiranya kenderaan lain berada di hadapan anda atau penggunaan lampu kabus semasa pemanduan biasa \u2013 penggunaan lampu tinggi atau lampu kabus dalam situasi yang tidak sesuai boleh menyebabkan silau kepada pemandu lain.\n\n\nCoating\n Lampu Kereta\n\n\nElakkan penggunaan \npolish\n berasaskan bahan kimia yang boleh menghakis. Anda boleh melindungi lampu kereta dengan menggunakan bahan lapisan atau \ncoating\n lampu yang sesuai dan tidak merosakkan. \nCoating\n lampu kereta dapat memanjangkan jangka hayat lampu dan mengelakkan lampu kereta menjadi kusam, kabur atau kekuningan. Selain itu, ia juga dapat memberi sebaran cahaya yang lebih terang sekali gus mengurangkan risiko kemalangan akibat cahaya lampu kereta malap atau kurang terang.\n\n\nPenting untuk anda memastikan keadaan dan prestasi lampu kenderaan berada dalam keadaan baik khususnya sebelum memulakan perjalanan. Semoga panduan ini sedikit sebanyak membantu anda memahami fungsi lampu kereta, jenis lampu, peraturan lampu kereta JPJ dan sebagainya.

Pemeriksaan Pemanduan \n\u2013 \nStereng\n\n\nSalah satu pemeriksaan yang dilakukan ialah pemeriksaan stereng. Stereng dengan terlebih \n\u2018free play\u2019\n berlaku apabila stereng dapat dipusingkan satu inci atau lebih tanpa sebarang pergerakan pada roda kereta. Tanpa stereng yang tepat, pemandu tidak boleh mengawal kereta dengan baik jika berlakunya kecemasan. Secara asalnya, \n\u2018free play\u2019\n sepatutnya hanya boleh mempunyai tindak balas maksima sehingga 0.6cm.\n\n\n\n\n2. Pemeriksaan Bahagian Bawah Kereta \u2013 \nMounting\n Enjin\n\n\nCagakan atau \nmounting\n enjin adalah bahagian yang menyokong enjin ke casis kereta. Selain memberi sokongan kepada enjin, tujuan\n mounting\n adalah untuk mengurangkan gegaran enjin dan memberi pengalaman memandu yang lebih lancar. Majoriti \nmounting\n enjin kenderaan haus atau rosak kerana usia. \nMounting\n enjin perlu diganti apabila terdapat bunyi dan getaran berlebihan yang boleh menjejaskan komponen lain di dalam teluk enjin.\n\n\n\n\n3. Pemeriksaan Bahagian Luar Kereta \u2013 Kereta Potong Sambung\n\n\nSalah satu titik pemeriksaan kenderaan yang paling penting adalah untuk memeriksa integriti casis kenderaan. Pemeriksaan bahagian luar dan sendi adalah untuk meneliti jika kenderaan tersebut telah mengalami kemalangan dan diperbaiki. Pemeriksaan ini juga untuk mengesahkan sama ada Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) telah meluluskan pembaikan tersebut.\n\n\n\n\n4. Pemeriksaan Bahagian Luar Kereta \u2013 Nombor Casis atau Enjin\n\n\nSemua kenderaan yang telah mengalami kemalangan dan telah dibaiki akan diperiksa nombor casis dan enjinnya. Ini adalah untuk mengesahkan bahawa kenderaan yang dibaiki tidak diklon atau dikembalikan daripada \n\u2018total loss\u2019\n. Pengesahan ini penting untuk memastikan proses pembaikan telah diluluskan oleh pihak berkuasa dan boleh dipadankan dengan kad pendaftaran kenderaan.\n\n\n\n\n5. Pemeriksaan Bahagian Dalam Kereta \u2013 Kawalan Tingkap Kereta\n\n\nKegagalan fungsi tingkap kereta adalah kejadian yang biasa berlaku kepada kenderaan yang berusia. Walaupun hanya sekadar suis atau motor tingkap yang tidak berfungsi, penggantian bahagian ini dianggap sebagai kos tambahan kepada pemilik seterusnya. Memandangkan terdapat empat tingkap di dalam kereta anda, adalah lebih baik jikalau tingkap yang rosak itu diperbaiki sebelum ia diperiksa di Carsome.\n\n\n\n\nPerkongsian 5 daripada 175 titik pemeriksaan \nCarsome\n ini diharap dapat membantu anda untuk menjaga keadaan kereta anda. Keadaan kereta yang baik sedikit sebanyak dapat membantu anda mendapatkan tawaran harga yang lebih tinggi untuk kereta terpakai anda jika anda mengambil keputusan untuk menjual kereta anda.

Voltan bateri kereta perlu diperiksa dari semasa ke semasa dan perlu digantikan sekurang-kurangnya setiap dua tahun untuk mengekalkan prestasinya pada tahap yang terbaik. Jika anda pernah berada dalam situasi seperti enjin kereta sukar untuk dihidupkan terutamanya pada waktu pagi, ini menandakan \nvoltan bateri\n \nkereta anda sudah lemah dan bateri kereta anda perlu digantikan. Namun begitu, dalam kes-kes tertentu, anda mungkin memerlukan bantuan\n jumper\n bateri kereta untuk menghidupkan enjin kereta anda.\n\n\nAnda disarankan untuk mempraktikkan langkah-langkah dan aspek keselamatan yang betul semasa\n jumper\n bateri kereta. Banyak model kereta yang dijual di pasaran pada hari ini menggunakan komponen elektronik dalam sistem dalaman kereta. Jika tersilap langkah, ia boleh menyebabkan kerugian atau kerosakan yang lebih serius seperti litar pintas pada komponen penting kereta seperti TCU (unit kawalan transmisi) atau risiko bahaya lain.\n\n\n\n\nPerkara Perlu Diberi Perhatian Sebelum \nJumper\u00a0\nBateri Kereta\n\n\nSebelum\n jumper\n bateri kereta anda, berikut merupakan antara perkara-perkara yang perlu diberi perhatian terutamanya jika anda baru pertama kali melakukan proses ini:\n\n\n\n\nBaca buku manual pemilik yang dibekalkan. Sesetengah model kereta tidak disarankan untuk melakukan \njump start\n disebabkan oleh sistem litar yang sensitif;\n\n\nJangan \njump start\n bateri kereta yang berkarat, retak, bocor atau rosak;\n\n\nJangan\n jump start\n bateri kering;\n\n\nJika anda meminta bantuan kereta lain, pastikan saiz bateri kereta \u2018penderma\u2019 tersebut adalah sama atau lebih besar daripada saiz bateri anda;\n\n\nSambungkan klip buaya di tempat yang betul mengikut sususan yang betul;\n\n\nPastikan bateri kereta \u2018penderma\u2019 berada dalam keadaan baik, tidak lemah;\n\n\nPastikan anda tidak menyentuh bahagian badan kereta atau klip buaya semasa \njumper\n bateri kereta.\n\n\n\n\nPerkara Perlu Anda Tahu Sebelum \nJumper\u00a0\nBateri Kereta\n\n\nSelain itu, anda juga perlu mengetahui \nperkara asas mengenai bateri kereta\n berikut sebelum memulakan proses \njumper\n bateri kereta anda. Secara amnya, bateri kereta dilengkapi dengan dua terminal iaitu terminal positif dan terminal negatif:\n\n\n\n\nTerminal positif \u2013 terminal positif biasanya lebih besar berbanding terminal negatif. Ia ditandakan dengan \u2018POS\u2019 atau \u2018+\u2019, terminal ini akan disambungkan dengan klip positif kabel\n jumper \nkereta yang berwarna merah;\n\n\nTerminal negatif \u2013 terminal negatif pada bateri biasanya ditandakan dengan \u2018NEG\u2019 atau \u2018-\u2018, terminal ini akan disambungkan dengan klip negatif kabel \njumper\n kereta yang berwarna hitam.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeralatan Diperlukan untuk \nJumper \nBateri Kereta\n\n\nAnda hanya memerlukan dua peralatan berikut sebelum anda memulakan proses \njump start\n bateri kereta anda:\n\n\n\n\nKabel \njumper\n kereta \u2013 \nkabel jumper\n kereta biasanya panjang, tertebat dengan klip bergerigi pada kedua-dua bahagian hujung. Kabel ini juga turut dikenali sebagai \u2018klip buaya\u2019 kerana bentuknya yang kelihatan seperti kepala buaya. Klip buaya dibezakan melalui warna \u2013 hitam atau merah yang menunjukkan kutub positif (merah) atau negatif (hitam).\u00a0\n\n\nSumber kuasa \u2013 anda boleh menggunakan sama ada \nbateri mudah alih\n atau bantuan kereta lain sebagai sumber kuasa untuk menghidupkan enjin kereta anda. Bateri mudah alih digunakan untuk \njumper \nbateri kereta tanpa memerlukan bantuan kereta lain. Bateri jenis ini biasanya dilengkapi dengan kabel \njumper\n khas.

Pengecualian cukai jalan sehingga 100 peratus, pelepasan cukai pendapatan individu sehingga RM2,500 merupakan antara insentif dalam Bajet 2022 yang diumumkan oleh kerajaan.

Tapi, kalau anda seorang yang lemah semangat, inilah masanya untuk anda beralih ke artikel lain yang lebih bermanfaat untuk anda, seperti \nkuiz penumpang balik kampung\n kami ini.\n\n\n1. Lebuhraya Karak\n\n\nDibuka kepada orang awam pada tahun 1977, Lebuhraya Karak, juga dikenali sebagai Terowong Karak, menghubungkan Kuala Lumpur dengan Genting Highlands melalui jalan raya sepanjang 60 kilometer yang berliku-liku. Terdapat banyak kemalangan ngeri yang pernah berlaku di situ dan ini menjadikannya terkenal di seluruh dunia sebagai jalan raya yang paling berhantu!\n\n\nBerikut adalah beberapa cerita seram yang menghantui lebuhraya Karak.\n\n\nMisteri Volkswagen Kuning di \nHighway \nKarak\n\n\nSemua orang pasti pernah mendengar seseorang menyebut tentang Volkswagen kuning yang berhantu apabila bercerita tentang \nhighway \nKarak. Kereta berhantu ini biasanya akan muncul di belakang kereta anda dan akan memaksa anda memberi laluan agar ia dapat memotong. Selepas anda berbuat demikian, ia akan muncul semula di belakang kereta anda secara tiba-tiba!\n\n\n\n\nRamai yang mengatakan bahawa jika anda cuba melihat kelibat pemandunya, anda akan mendapati tiada sesiapa yang berada di dalam kereta tersebut!\n\n\nHantu Budak Sekolah di Highway Karak\n\n\nSatu lagi kisah seram yang terkenal dalam kalangan orang ramai adalah penampakan kelibat seorang budak sekolah yang merayau-rayau mencari ibunya di tepi jalan sekitar \nhighway \nKarak pada waktu malam. Jangan sekali-kali berhenti jika anda ternampak kelibat ini!\n\n\n\n\nMenurut cerita orang tempatan, pernah terjadi sebuah kemalangan di kawasan itu yang mengorbankan seorang budak lelaki yang memakai baju sekolah dan juga ibunya yang sedang memandu. Dalam kemalangan itu, ibunya telah tercampak keluar daripada kereta manakala budak lelaki itu pula terperangkap di dalam kereta dengan matanya tertusuk kaca daripada cermin hadapan! Sehingga hari ini, ramai yang berkata dia masih menghantui lebuhraya itu dan menunggu untuk bersatu kembali dengan ibunya.\n\n\n2. Jalan Kulai \u2013 Kota Tinggi\n\n\nJalan yang menghubungkan bandar Kulai dan Kota tinggi ini dikelilingi oleh deretan pokok kelapa sawit dan ia juga melalui sebuah tanah perkuburan yang dikenali sebagai Nirvana Memorial Park. Jika anda menggunakan jalan ini pada waktu malam, keadaannya memang sangat gelap disebabkan ketiadaan lampu jalan. Biasanya, selepas jam satu atau dua pagi tiada lagi kereta yang lalu lalang menggunakan jalan ini. Jadi kami sarankan agar anda berhati-hati apabila melalui jalan ini.\n\n\nAda banyak kisah dan gangguan mistik yang dialami oleh para pemandu di jalan ini dan salah satunya adalah penampakan kelibat seakan-akan pontianak di tengah jalan yang boleh anda saksikan di video di bawah.\n\n\n\n\n3. Jalan Kuala Klawang \u2013 Genting Peras\n\n\nLaluan ini merupakan laluan wajib bagi peserta Le Tour de Langkawi disebabkan ia sebuah laluan berbukit dan mempunyai lebih 240 selekoh yang menjadikannya sangat mencabar! Selain itu, jalan lama yang menghubungkan Kuala Lumpur dan Jelebu ini juga amat digemari para penunggang motosikal yang mahukan cabaran dalam perjalanan mereka.\n\n\nDisebabkan laluan ini berada di kawasan berbukit, keadaannya pada waktu malam memang sangat gelap dan sunyi. Banyak buah mulut daripada para penunggang motor dan pemandu yang menggunakan jalan tersebut pada waktu malam yang menyatakan kewujudan makhluk-makhluk halus seperti pontianak dan langsuir yang kerap mengganggu mereka, seperti sorotan kisah daripada halaman Facebook ini.\n\n\n\ufeff\n\n\n4. Jalan Gombak Lama\n\n\nIni adalah jalan yang popular dalam kalangan mereka yang suka berbasikal dan juga berjoging. Kawasannya yang berhutan menjadikannya pilihan terbaik bagi orang yang mahu beriadah dengan bertemankan keindahan alam semulajadi dan suasana pagi yang hening. Tetapi, tahukah anda yang laluan ini sebenarnya pernah popular sebagai tempat pembuangan mayat sekitar tahun \n2016\n dan \n2017\n?\n\n\nMungkin disebabkan oleh kejadian-kejadian ini,\u00a0 lokasi ini mempunyai pelbagai kejadian dan kisah angker yang menakutkan dan menjadi kegemaran para pemburu kejadian mistik. Lihat sahaja video di bawah ini yang dirakam semasa usaha menarik kereta mangsa kemalangan yang terjatuh ke dalam gaung di jalan ini. Di saat-saat akhir video, kelihatan kelibat makhluk berjari panjang yang mengeluarkan sesuatu daripada kereta tersebut. Memang menyeramkan!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nView this post on Instagram\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nA post shared by mStar (@mstaronlineofficial)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmalkan Tips Pemanduan Ini untuk Mengelak Daripada Diganggu atau Disampuk\n\n\nTak kiralah jika anda mempercayai dunia mistik ataupun seorang yang was-was mengenainya, kami pasti cerita-cerita mengenai lokasi ini akan membangkitkan rasa seram dalam diri anda. Jika anda seorang yang lemah semangat, memandu secara bersendirian di tempat yang gelap dan sunyi adalah sesuatu yang patut dielakkan sama sekali.\n\n\n\n\nOleh itu, untuk menjamin keselamatan dan ketenangan jiwa anda, kami cadangkan agar anda memandu pada waktu pagi atau tengah hari apabila matahari masih terang. Lagipun, perkara-perkara paranormal ini cuma akan berlaku pada waktu malam sahaja.\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda tidak mahu terkandas di jalan raya yang sunyi dan sepi seorang diri, periksa kereta anda terlebih dahulu sebelum memulakan perjalanan.

Ini Apa Yang Anda WAJIB Tahu Tentang \u2018Lemon Law\u2019.", "By\n \nAhmad Azwadie Azman", "08/09/2022", "\n\n\n\n\n", "Apabila kita beli kereta, kita dah ikat diri kita sendiri dengan komitmen kewangan yang sangat besar. Bayangkan, bayaran ansuran saja ada yang sampai beribu ringgit (bergantung kepada model) untuk tempoh sembilan tahun maksimum!\u00a0\n\n\nKalau kita dah bayar sebanyak tu untuk sembilan tahun, kita mestilah mahukan kereta yang dibeli berkualiti dan tahan lama, kan? Tapi macam mana kalau baru saja kita nak berseronok dengan kereta baharu dan tiba-tiba kereta rosak. Kereta yang rosak adalah sangat berbahaya!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIni bukan cerita rekaan! Kalau anda rajin buat carian di media sosial, terlalu banyak keluhan daripada pembeli yang kereta mereka tidak berfungsi seperti yang dijanjikan pengeluar. Ini belum termasuk komponen penting yang gagal berfungsi untuk melindungi pemandu ketika kemalangan.\u00a0\n\n\nAduan telah dibuat tetapi tak semua aduan itu disambut. Ada yang masih lagi tergantung dan pembeli seperti dah hilang harapan untuk mendapat ganti rugi akibat kecuaian pengeluar dan penjual kereta!\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nAnda Rasa Anda Tahu Segalanya Tentang Kereta? Jom Bongkar Beberapa Mitos Kereta\n\n\nTak ada ke undang-undang yang boleh melindungi pembeli dan juga pengguna kereta terutamanya kereta terpakai ini? Jadi di sinilah \u2018Lemon Law\u2019 ni memainkan peranan untuk melindungi pengguna dan pembeli kereta terutamanya kereta terpakai.\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, apa sebenarnya \u2018lemon law\u2019 ni?\u00a0\n\n\n\u2018Lemon Law\u2019 Yang Tiada Kaitan Dengan Lemon\n\n\n\u2018Lemon law\u2019 ini tiada kaitan langsung dengan buah lemon tetapi \u2018lemon\u2019 ini istilah merujuk kepada kenderaan atau peralatan yang rosak. \u2018Lemon Law\u2019 ini merupakan undang-undang negeri yang diasaskan di Amerika Syarikat. Tujuan asalnya adalah supaya pembeli kereta menerima pampasan seandainya produk yang dibeli rosak berkali-kali dan gagal berfungsi seperti yang dijanjikan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u2018Lemon Law\u2019 ini bukan saja terpakai untuk kereta tetapi juga untuk produk lain yang selalu rosak. Kebiasaannya pengguna boleh menuntut pampasan sekiranya produk yang dibeli tidak berfungsi seperti yang dijanjikan dalam tempoh tertentu seperti enam bulan di Amerika Syarikat.\u00a0\n\n\nTapi Di Malaysia Kan Dah Ada Akta Perlindungan Pengguna?\u00a0\n\n\nYa, betul. Di Malaysia sudah pun ada undang-undang yang melindungi pengguna dan pembeli daripada unsur-unsur ketidakadilan dalam urusan jual beli iaitu Akta Perlindungan Pengguna. Dalam akta ini juga menekankan tentang hak-hak pengguna iaitu:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHak untuk mendapatkan keperluan asas.\u00a0\n\n\nHak untuk mendapatkan keselamatan.\u00a0\n\n\nHak untuk mendapatkan maklumat.\u00a0\n\n\nHak untuk membuat pilihan.\u00a0\n\n\nHak untuk bersuara.\u00a0\n\n\nHak untuk mendapatkan ganti rugi.\u00a0\n\n\nHak untuk mendapatkan pendidikan pengguna.\u00a0\n\n\nHak untuk mendapatkan alam sekitar yang sihat dan selamat.\n\n\n\n\nMemandangkan kita dah pun ada Akta Perlindungan Pengguna ni, jadi kita sebenarnya tak perlukanlah pun \u2018Lemon Law\u2019 ni kan? Tak semestinya. \u2018Lemon Law\u2019 yang dilaksanakan sebenarnya boleh menjadi perlindungan tambahan kepada akta yang sedia ada khusus untuk pembeli dan pengguna kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nWaranti Tak Cukup Nak \u2018Cover\u2019 Kerosakan?\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nSemua kereta yang dibeli sama ada baharu ataupun terpakai dilindungi oleh waranti. Jika ada kerosakan sepanjang tempoh waranti masih aktif, kereta yang rosak akan dibaiki dan kosnya ditanggung oleh pengeluar atau penjual kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nTetapi ada juga kes di mana walaupun kerosakan telah pun dibaiki tetapi muncul pula kerosakan lain atau pun kerosakan lama yang berulang, menunjukkan mungkin kerja-kerja membaiki pun tak boleh selamatkan kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAnda kena ingat bahawa kereta itu adalah mesin yang dipasang oleh manusia, jadi mesti ada kesilapan dan kecacatan di mana-mana bahagian yang pembeli sendiri tak tahu pada kereta mereka.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nCara Menjaga Kereta Anda dan Mengapa Ia Perlu Dijaga\n\n\nMaka di sinilah \u2018Lemon Law\u2019 memainkan peranan melindungi pengguna. Sekiranya kerosakan begini berlaku dalam tempoh tertentu, pengeluar wajib memberikan ganti rugi jika kerosakan ini disebabkan kesilapan pemasangan oleh pihak pengeluar dan jika perlu, menggantikannya dengan unit lain yang setara.\u00a0\n\n\nMalaysia Dah Ketinggalan?\u00a0\n\n\nDi Asia, antara negara yang dah menguatkuasakan \u2018Lemon Law\u2019 ini termasuklah Korea Selatan, Jepun, China, Filipina dan juga jiran kita iaitu Singapura. Singapura menggabungkan \u2018Lemon Law\u2019 ini dalam \nAkta Perlindungan Pengguna Singapura (Perdagangan yang Adil) (CPFTA) 2004\n. Antara hak pengguna yang dilindungi:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMembuat tuntutan bagi produk yang rosak (juga dikenali sebagai lemon) yang dibeli dalam tempoh 6 bulan.\n\n\nMeminta penjual produk yang rosak untuk membaiki, mengganti, membayar balik atau mengurangkan harga produk yang rosak (tertakluk kepada keadaan tertentu).\n\n\nMemastikan produk yang rosak dibaiki dalam tempoh masa yang munasabah dengan kos ditanggung penjual.\n\n\nMemastikan produk yang rosak diganti dalam tempoh masa yang munasabah dengan kos ditanggung penjual.\n\n\nMeminta pengurangan harga ketika produk itu disimpan atau mengembalikan produk untuk bayaran balik jika penjual gagal untuk membaikinya.\n\n\n\n\nJadi, Malaysia ketinggalan ke? Tak juga kerana Akta Perlindungan Pengguna masih lagi melindungi hak pengguna cuma akta ini melindungi kesemua pengguna secara amnya. Tidak ada undang-undang khusus untuk pembelian kereta ini.\u00a0\n\n\nHarapan Baru Penguatkuasaan \u2018Lemon Law\u2019 Di Malaysia?\u00a0\n\n\nBaru-baru ini, Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Hal Ehwal Pengguna (KPDNHEP) menerusi menterinya, Datuk Seri \nAlexander Nanta Linggi memberikan gambaran bahawa \u2018Lemon Law\u2019 sedang dipertimbangkan untuk dikuatkuasakan di Malaysia.\u00a0\n\n\nKementerian tersebut kini sedang mengkaji untuk menambah baik undang-undang pembelian kereta terpakai termasuklah memperkenalkan \u2018Lemon Law\u2019. Ini untuk melindungi pengguna dan pembeli daripada ditipu dan menanggung rugi membeli kereta terpakai yang rosak.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWalaupun masih lagi di peringkat penelitian serta pengumpulan maklum balas daripada pemain industri, marilah kita sama-sama berharap bahawa \u2018Lemon Law\u2019 ini boleh dilaksanakan supaya para pembeli kereta ini boleh dilindungi hak mereka.\u00a0\n\n\nJadi lepas ni, kalau nasib kita tak baik sebab dah terbeli \u2018lemon\u2019, akan ada undang-undang yang akan \u2018cover\u2019 dan jaga anda, dan hak kita untuk mendapatkan ganti rugi juga tidak akan dinafikan oleh penjual dan pengeluar kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nDapatkan Kereta CARSOME Certified Untuk Ketenangan Minda Anda\n\n\nKereta CARSOME Certified telah melalui proses pemeriksaan 175-titik untuk memastikan anda mendapat kereta pramilik berkualiti dengan keselamatan melebihi taraf, keselesaan sepenuhnya, dan estetik yang dibaik pulih.

At face value, this implies that the fluid or lubricant in the gearbox doesn\u2019t have to be replaced for the entire lifespan of the car.\n\n\nNonetheless, much in the same way that Thanos believed wiping out half of all life rather than doubling the amount of resources would prevent the extinction of resources, the term \u201clifetime\u201d is wide open for interpretation and debate.\n\n\nWhat Do Carmakers Mean by \u201dLifetime\u201d?\n\n\n\n\nTo the layman, a lifetime might be mistaken as forever. That\u2019s a mistake. Forever implies until the end of time whereas lifetime infers that the existence of something is finite and will cease at some point.\n\n\nStill, at the risk of evoking the wrath of Aristotle, Gandhi, and Friedrich Nietzsche, let\u2019s not fall down the rabbit hole that\u2019s existence but circle back to lifetime transmission fluids.\n\n\nRead More: \n5 Habits That Are Actually Damaging Your Car\u2019s Transmission\n\n\nMost transmission fluids such as ATF (automatic transmission fluid), CVT fluid, DCT fluid or manual transmission fluid require replacement after the car has clocked a certain amount of mileage. Therefore, \u201clifetime\u201d transmission fluids wouldn\u2019t need to be replaced at all, right?\n\n\nAgain, back to the definition of \u201clifetime.\u201d It implies there\u2019s an end to the car\u2019s life, or a point when it becomes obsolete.\n\n\nThat\u2019s due to the fact that modern cars are all designed with planned obsolescence in mind, meaning that the carmakers consider them obsolete after a certain mileage has been clocked.\n\n\nCorresponding with that, they designed the transmissions; usually traditional torque converter automatics, with a sealed case that doesn\u2019t cater to replacing the fluids within.\n\n\nFor example, the scheduled maintenance list for a 2015 \nMazda 2\n doesn\u2019t carry a suggested interval for the ATF\u2019s replacement. As such, the official service center won\u2019t perform an ATF replacement, even if requested by the owner.\n\n\nOf course, the owner can opt to have an independent workshop carry out the task but that would likely result in the warranty being voided.\n\n\nIn fact, some carmakers that implement a lifetime transmission fluid in their vehicles design the transmission case in such a way as to prevent easy access to replace the fluid.\n\n\n\n\nCircling back to the definition of \u201clifetime,\u201d it\u2019s generally understood to be the span of the car\u2019s warranty. That\u2019s approximately 5 years or 100,000 km, though the timeline and mileage can vary depending on the make and model.\n\n\nFor argument\u2019s sake, the carmaker will argue that the \u201clifetime\u201d claim is completely accurate as once said car surpasses 5 years or 100,000 km, it\u2019s considered obsolete by their definition.\n\n\nObviously, most car owners don\u2019t exactly replace their rides after 5 years. Not everyone has been able to cultivate the fabled money tree in their gardens yet.\n\n\nRead More: \nAuto vs Manual Transmission\n\n\nShould You Replace Your Transmission Fluid?\n\n\nThe pertinent question now is, how will the transmission fluid in the case stand up to the vehicle\u2019s use following the end of this period?\n\n\nRegardless of the type of transmission, all fluids within the case will degrade over time under the heat and sheer forces exerted by the gears. That means the fluid will lose its ability to properly lubricate the transmission\u2019s internals over time.\n\n\nThis is precisely the reason most specialist, independent workshops strongly recommend you replace the transmission fluid regularly in cars that come with a \u201clifetime\u201d fluid. Prevention is better than cure, so keep the fluids fresh before they degrade to the point that the transmission experiences catastrophic failure.\n\n\nFurthermore, depending on the type of vehicle or your usage of it, these specialist workshops will suggest a shorter interval. It might seem like an unnecessary cost on your end but don\u2019t be penny-wise but pound-foolish. If your transmission fails, that might leave you needing lubrication for yourself.\n\n\nRead More: \nWhat Is a Car Engine Overhaul and When to Do It\n\n\n\n\nHow transmission fluid is drained\n\n\nIf you\u2019re fretting over how these workshops will replace the fluid due to the sealed case, well, that\u2019s why we pay them\u2026 They\u2019re the experts.\n\n\nWhile it might not be as simple as unscrewing a drain plug and letting the old fluid out, even these sealed transmissions will have been designed with accessible service points for technicians.\n\n\nThe reason for this is that if the center were to carry out a transmission rebuild or perform major work, they would definitely replace the fluid due to the possibility of contamination. So, yes, there will be a way. It\u2019s just not made easy by design.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re unsure of the type of fluid in your transmission or its lifespan, just check the owner\u2019s manual. Most types that require a replacement will be within the 80,000 to 100,000 km range.\n\n\nFurthermore, if your car has an ATF dipstick, you can \ncheck the condition of the fluid yourself\n. ATF is usually red in color and turns darker as it degrades with use.\n\n\nConclusion\n\n\nTo sum it up, \u201clifetime\u201d transmission fluids fall squarely under the carmaker\u2019s definition of what said lifetime\u2019s span is and not as long as the car runs.\n\n\nAmong the fluids in a car, the transmission fluid undergoes extreme forces. Therefore, it\u2019s paramount that the transmission fluid doesn\u2019t lose too much of its properties due to degradation.\n\n\nSo, even if your car comes with a \u201clifetime\u201d transmission fluid, it\u2019s recommended to have it inspected by an independent workshop to ensure optimum levels of performance. If you\u2019re worried about voiding the warranty, have that inspection done as soon as the warranty period is over.\n\n\nAt CARSOME, when we \nrefurbish\n a pre-owned car, we make sure all the parts, including the lubricants, are in good condition. Otherwise, we\u2019ll replace them to ensure an optimum service life for the car\u2019s parts.

Perkara yang sama juga berlaku dalam dunia automotif di mana anda boleh dapatkan\n \nalat ganti kereta palsu\n yang dijual secara terbuka dengan sangat mudah.\n\n\n\n\nBerbanding dengan Pengilang Peralatan Tulen (OEM) dan alat ganti \naftermarket \nyang bereputasi, alat ganti palsu mungkin lebih cepat rosak atau gagal berfungsi langsung kerana ia jarang melalui ujian jaminan keselamatan dan kualiti yang diwajibkan untuk alat ganti OEM.\n\n\nJadi, macam mana kita nak bezakan yang palsu daripada yang asli?\n\n\nPerbezaan Antara Alat Ganti Tulen, OEM & \nAftermarket\n\n\nSebelum kita membincangkan macam mana nak bezakan alat ganti palsu dengan alat ganti tulen, kita harus terlebih dahulu memahami pelbagai jenis pengeluar alat ganti yang sah dalam pasaran.\n\n\nAlat Ganti Tulen\n\n\nAlat ganti tulen, juga dikenali sebagai Peralatan Tulen (OE), ialah alat ganti kereta yang asalnya dipasang pada kenderaan semasa proses pembuatannya. Alat ganti ini biasanya merupakan pilihan paling selamat kerana ia dicipta khusus untuk model kereta tersebut dan disertakan dengan jaminan daripada pengeluar. Satu-satunya kelemahan alat ganti ini adalah harganya yang biasanya agak mahal.\n\n\nAlat Ganti OEM\n\n\nOEM merujuk kepada Pengilang Peralatan Tulen dan ia biasanya dikeluarkan oleh pengilang luar. Perkara yang membezakan antara alat ganti OEM dengan alat ganti tulen adalah ia dikeluarkan oleh pihak lain dan didatangkan di dalam bungkusan yang memaparkan nama pengeluar barangan OEM tersebut. Harga alat ganti OEM juga lebih murah daripada alat ganti tulen dan kadang kala, anda boleh menggunakannya tanpa membatalkan waranti kereta anda.\n\n\nAlat Ganti \nAftermarket\n\n\nAlat ganti \naftermarket \nmerujuk kepada alat ganti kereta alternatif yang dijual pada harga yang lebih berpatutan berbanding alat ganti tulen. Syarikat atau pengilang alat ganti \naftermarket\n biasanya akan membeli hak untuk mengeluarkan alat ganti menggunakan templat daripada pengeluar asal. Kualitinya juga berbeza berdasarkan syarikat yang mengeluarkan alat ganti \naftermarket \ntersebut.\n\n\nApa Sebenarnya Alat Ganti Palsu?\n\n\nPengilang Peralatan Tulen (OEM) dan syarikat alat ganti \naftermarket \nmembuat alat ganti untuk kereta mengikut piawaian keselamatan dan kualiti industri automotif. Alat ganti palsu pula mungkin kelihatan dan terasa seperti yang tulen, tapi komposisi bahan yang digunakan untuk membuat alat ganti ini jauh bezanya daripada alat ganti tulen.\n\n\nMemandangkan kebanyakan alat ganti seperti ini boleh didapati pada harga jauh lebih murah daripada yang tulen, ia tidak mematuhi piawaian keselamatan yang ditetapkan oleh industri untuk mengurangkan kos pengeluaran dan boleh mendatangkan bahaya kepada lebih ramai pemandu yang menggunakannya.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nKereta Rosak? Kos Alat Ganti atau Spare Part Kereta yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\nJadi, Apa yang Bahaya Mengenai Alat Ganti Palsu?\n\n\nMemandangkan alat ganti palsu tidak memenuhi piawaian keselamatan dan kualiti industri automotif, menggunakan alat ganti ini di dalam kereta anda boleh menyebabkan kerosakan, kegagalan enjin, dan juga mengakibatkan kemalangan.\n\n\nBerikut adalah beberapa sebab mengapa menggunakan alat ganti palsu boleh mendatangkan bahaya kepada anda.\n\n\n\n\nKegagalan Enjin atau Kebakaran\n\n\nKomponen seperti palam pencucuh, tali pemacu (\nserpentine belt\n), injap, dan penapis minyak adalah antara komponen-komponen penting yang memastikan enjin dan pemacu berfungsi dengan baik.\n\n\nMenggunakan alat ganti palsu yang mungkin tidak sesuai dengan enjin anda bukan sahaja akan mengakibatkan kegagalan enjin tetapi juga boleh menyebabkan litar pintas dan kebakaran.\n\n\nKecederaan Akibat Cermin Depan\n\n\nCermin depan yang disyorkan oleh OEM telah dihasilkan mengikut piawaian keselamatan tertentu seperti kapasiti menggalas beban. Kapasiti menggalas beban ialah keupayaan maksimum material (dalam kes ini cermin depan) untuk menahan muatan sebelum ia gagal berfungsi.\n\n\nCermin depan tiruan yang tidak mengikut piawaian keselamatan ini mungkin akan terus retak atau pecah apabila terdedah kepada beban dan boleh membahayakan penumpang di dalam kereta. Pengelap cermin depan palsu juga tidak akan berfungsi dengan baik seperti yang tulen semasa hujan lebat kerana banyak pengelap cermin depan palsu tidak direka dengan lengkung dan bentuk yang sesuai untuk cermin depan anda.\n\n\nKegagalan Brek\n\n\nPad brek adalah antara bahagian paling penting dalam sistem brek dalam kereta. Jika anda menggunakan pad brek palsu, ia mungkin akan haus dengan tidak sekata dan agak cepat berbanding dengan pad brek yang tulen.\n\n\n\n\nAnda mungkin menganggap yang ia cuma perbelanjaan tambahan yang anda perlu bayar untuk perkhidmatan servis yang seterusnya, tetapi sesetengah pad brek palsu yang diperbuat daripada bahan berkualiti rendah akan menyebabkan brek kereta anda menghasilkan bunyi bising.\n\n\nPad brek akan menghasilkan habuk apabila digunakan. Jika habuk ini dibiarkan terkumpul ia boleh menyebabkan getaran dan bunyi nyaring yang kuat apabila brek digunakan atau dilepaskan. Ini boleh membawa kepada kegagalan brek yang boleh menjadi sangat berbahaya.\n\n\nIntegriti Struktur Tergugat\n\n\nPanel badan palsu biasanya tidak sejajar atau sepadan dengan baik pada zon renyuk dan tiang kereta. Sekiranya berlaku perlanggaran, panel badan yang tidak berada dalam kedudukan baik boleh membahayakan penumpang di dalam kereta apabila ia kemek dengan teruk.\n\n\nKetegangan Tayar Dikurangkan\n\n\nTayar adalah salah satu komponen kereta yang paling penting kerana ia menanggung berat kereta dan merupakan satu-satunya komponen yang menghubungkan kereta anda dengan jalan raya.\n\n\n\n\nTayar celup atau tayar palsu cenderung kehilangan keteguhan terutamanya apabila menanggung beban yang tinggi dan mempunyai bunga tayar yang tidak baik yang boleh menjadi sangat berbahaya terutamanya pada kelajuan tinggi.\n\n\nApabila menggunakan tayar palsu, anda perlu berhati-hati kerana ia boleh meletup secara tiba-tiba dan serpihannya boleh membahayakan pengguna jalan raya yang lain. Dengan begitu banyak risiko yang ada dengan penggunaan alat ganti palsu, macam mana anda nak pastikan alat ganti anda adalah tulen? Kami ada caranya!\n\n\n6 Cara untuk Kenal Pasti Alat Ganti Palsu\n\n\nMemandangkan alat ganti kereta palsu berada di mana-mana sahaja, berikut adalah beberapa tanda-tanda yang boleh bantu anda kenal pasti alat ganti palsu.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n1. Bungkusan\n\n\nAlat ganti palsu biasanya dibungkus di dalam bungkusan yang murah dan nipis berbanding dengan alat ganti tulen yang dibungkus di dalam bungkusan yang berkualiti tinggi dan dihantar dengan berhati-hati. Untuk kenal pasti bungkusan yang palsu, bandingkan pembungkusan dan kaji perincian kecil seperti kualiti cetakan, material kotak, ketebalan, dan sebagainya.\n\n\n2. Nombor Siri atau Hologram\n\n\nSemua pengilang OEM mengeluarkan alat ganti dengan nombor siri atau hologram khusus mereka sendiri yang boleh digunakan untuk mengesan pengeluar asal. Sesetengah nombor siri OEM mungkin dicetak terus pada kotak atau pada alat ganti itu sendiri manakala untuk alat ganti palsu ia akan dicetak pada pelekat.\n\n\n3. Kesilapan Ejaan\n\n\nLihat dengan teliti pada cetakan pada bungkusan dan arahan yang disertakan. Jika terdapat kesilapan ejaan atau tatabahasa, periksa alat ganti tersebut dengan teliti. Ia mungkin alat ganti tiruan.\n\n\n4. Arahan yang Tidak Lengkap\n\n\nApabila anda membaca manual arahan alat ganti, pastikan ia masuk akal. Alat ganti palsu biasanya mempunyai arahan yang tidak lengkap, ayat yang mengelirukan, dan gambar rajah yang hilang atau salah.\n\n\n5. Bahagian yang Tidak Sepadan\n\n\nBandingkan alat ganti yang anda beli dengan alat ganti lama dan perhatikan jika terdapat perbezaan warna, berat, dimensi, dan sebagainya. Perbezaan mudah seperti pengetat yang tidak sepadan menunjukkan yang anda mungkin telah membeli alat ganti yang palsu.\n\n\n6. Harga Lebih Murah\n\n\nAlat ganti tulen biasanya lebih mahal kerana kualitinya. Oleh itu, jika anda membeli alat ganti pada harga yang sangat murah, kemungkinan bahawa ianya palsu adalah sangat tinggi. Kebanyakan alat ganti tulen juga disertakan dengan pakej waranti, jadi dapatkan butiran waranti apabila anda membeli alat ganti.\n\n\nElakkan Alat Ganti Palsu & Pilih Pengilang yang Dipercayai\n\n\nMemandangkan alat ganti palsu direka bentuk dengan meniru alat ganti tulen, memang susah nak bezakan yang palsu daripada yang asli. Ditambah dengan harganya yang murah, anda mungkin fikir yang anda boleh menjimatkan kos apabila menggunakannya.\n\n\n\n\nHakikatnya, anda mungkin akan membelanjakan lebih banyak wang untuk pembaikan dan penggantian yang kerap disebabkan oleh kualiti alat ganti yang tidak terjamin, dan ia juga mungkin akan membahayakan keselamatan anda.\u00a0\n\n\nInilah sebabnya anda digalakkan untuk menggunakan alat ganti tulen atau OEM walaupun harganya mungkin sedikit mahal. Apa salahnya jika berbelanja lebih sedikit untuk mendapatkan alat ganti yang dihasilkan mengikut piawaian kualiti dan keselamatan industri automotif demi menjamin keselamatan dan keselesaan pemanduan anda.

The reason being is that car loans make car ownership much more affordable as you are able to repay the hefty price of the car in monthly payments.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhile that sounds simple enough, there is one thing you should take note of \u2013 the loan\u2019s interest rate. Here\u2019s what you need to know about car loan interest rates and how you can get the lowest interest rate when you buy a quality used car with Carsome.\u00a0\n\n\nReady to buy a car? Head to \ncarsome.my/buy-car\n \nnow to find your dream ride.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat Are Car Loan Interest Rates?\n\n\nAnytime we take out a loan from the bank, we are essentially \u201cborrowing\u201d money and then paying it back in monthly instalments. In doing so, banks will charge an interest rate, which is basically the cost of taking a loan out from a bank \u2013 this is reflected as a percentage of the total loan amount.\u00a0\n\n\nHowever, varying banks give different interest rates and there are other factors you need to consider when choosing the right bank to take a car loan with (check out \nA Guide to Car Loans & Interest Rates\n), but the three main things that will determine your monthly repayment are the loan amount, loan period, and interest rate.\u00a0\n\n\nAlso read:\n \nHow are Car Loans and Interests Calculated?\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe monthly repayment amount is calculated by multiplying the interest rate with your loan amount, and loan period (number of years). Therefore, the longer your loan period, the more you pay, while a lowered interest rate also lessens the amount. This is why many look for a bank that offers the lowest interest rate.\u00a0\n\n\nEnd the Year with the Best Deal\n: Super Low Interest Rate from Public Bank for Carsome Customers\n\n\nSo, we just talked about how a lower interest rate is much better because you do not have to fork too much \u2013 after all, the cost of a car itself is already heavy enough. Usually, car loan interest rates range between 2.5% to 3.6%.\u00a0\n\n\nBut because we want car ownership to be much more affordable for you, we\u2019ve partnered up with Public Bank Berhad to offer a \nsuper low interest rate\n \nfor Carsome customers from as low as 0.99%*\n! \n\n\n\n\nHowever, the interest rate offered will vary slightly, depending on the loan tenure and amount but one fact remains the same \u2013 it is still super low!\u00a0\n\n\nHere are the interest rates according to the loan period.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLoan Period (months)\n\n\n\n\n36\u00a0\n\n\n48\n\n\n60\n\n\n72\n\n\n84\n\n\n96\n\n\n\n\n108\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInterest Rates\n\n\n\n\n0.99% \u2013 2.19%\n\n\n2.68%\n\n\n\n\n2.88%\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor loan periods that are five years or less, Carsome customers are eligible to get super low rates depending on their loan amount, which are \n0.99%\n for RM30,000 to RM40,000, \n1.99%\n for RM40,001 to RM50,000, and \n2.19%\n for RM50,001 and above, \nwhile six to seven years are at\n 2.68%\n, and eight to nine years are at \n2.88%\n. \nThis special promotion is valid until 31 December 2021.\n\n\nDo take note that this special super low interest rate promotion is only valid for the purchase of Carsome Certified cars.\u00a0\n\n\nBuy a Carsome Certified Car for Peace of Mind\u00a0\n\n\nAll Carsome Certified cars have passed our strict 175-point inspection to make sure it is free of major accidents, frame, or flood damage.

From getting plenty of sleep before you hit the road, to staying hydrated and snacking on healthy foods, follow these tips to help make your trip more enjoyable. And don\u2019t forget \u2013 safety comes first. Drive responsibly and always obey traffic rules.\n\n\nGet Plenty of Sleep before You Set Out\n\n\nWhether you\u2019re driving to a neighboring state or taking a long road trip, it\u2019s important to get plenty of sleep before you set out.\n\n\nSleeping for at least eight hours the night before your trip will help you feel more rested and prepared for the journey ahead. If you can, try to take a short nap (20-30 minutes) before you start driving. This will help to keep you alert and refreshed. Just be sure not to oversleep.\n\n\nAnd remember, while caffeine can help you stay awake, it\u2019s important to drink it in moderation. Too much caffeine can make you feel more jittery and anxious, which is the last thing you want on a long road trip.\n\n\nMake Sure That Your Vehicle Is Clean and in Its Best Condition\n\n\nWashing your car before a long road trip can help protect it from dirt and road grime. If you have time, you should also wax the car to give it an extra layer of protection.\n\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s also important to check your engine oil and coolant levels before you hit the road. Make sure that your tires are properly inflated too. You don\u2019t want to have a flat tire in the middle of nowhere.\n\n\nFinally, fill up your gas tank so that you don\u2019t have to stop for gas too often. By taking these steps, you can help ensure that your vehicle is in good condition for the journey ahead.\n\n\nDrink Lots of Water to Keep Your Body Hydrated throughout Your Trip\n\n\nWhen you\u2019re on a long road trip, it\u2019s important to stay hydrated so your body can function properly. Adults should drink around eight glasses of water per day, and it\u2019s best to drink water at regular intervals during long drives.\n\n\nDehydration can cause a number of problems, including headaches, fatigue, and dizziness. The weather is always hot in Malaysia so it\u2019s especially important to stay hydrated when you\u2019re traveling.\n\n\nIn addition to drinking plenty of water, you can also eat foods that are high in water content to stay hydrated. Fruits and vegetables like watermelon, cucumber, and tomatoes are good choices.\n\n\nHealthy Treats Will Help Keep You Feeling Great\n\n\nWhen it comes to snacks, go for something that will give you sustained energy rather than a sugar rush. Protein-rich snacks like nuts and seeds, as well as fruits and vegetables, will help keep you feeling fuller for longer. And if you\u2019re craving something sweet, reach for dark chocolate instead of candy or cake.\n\n\n\n\nAnother important thing to remember when packing snacks for your road trip is to choose items that won\u2019t go bad quickly. Dried fruits and vegetables are a great option, as they\u2019ll last longer than their fresh counterparts. And if you\u2019re worried about getting hungry while driving, pack some snacks that can be easily eaten with one hand so you don\u2019t have to take your eyes off the road.\n\n\nBy following these tips, you\u2019ll be sure to have a more comfortable and enjoyable road trip!\n\n\nPlan Your Long Drive around When You Feel at Your Most Energetic and Alert\n\n\nWhen planning your long drive, it\u2019s important to consider when you\u2019ll be at your most energetic and alert. For some people, this may be early in the morning, while for others it may be later in the evening.\n\n\nIt\u2019s also important to avoid driving during high-traffic times. If you can, leave during off-peak hours to avoid getting stuck in traffic. Checking the weather report before you begin your journey is also a good idea.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re driving on a highway, take advantage of R&R stops along the way. Resting for a few minutes every two hours or so can help you stay alert and refreshed for the rest of the drive. This will give you a chance to stretch your legs, use the restroom, and grab a bite to eat if you need it.\n\n\nTake Scenic Routes to Make Your Road Trip More Interesting\n\n\nWhen planning your journey, it\u2019s important to consider the scenic routes. If you\u2019re driving through unfamiliar territory, make a note of landmarks and attractions. This will help you stay on track and avoid getting lost. It\u2019s also important to take into account the opening and closing hours of R&R stops, gas stations, restaurants, and cafes. If you\u2019re driving late at night or early in the morning, you might not be able to stop for food or a break.\n\n\n\n\nBudgeting for tolls, parking, and accommodation fees is also important when planning your road trip. You don\u2019t want to be caught off guard by unexpected expenses. And finally, be sure to share your travel itinerary with a friend or family member in case of any emergencies.\n\n\nCurate Your Favorite Road Trip Music Playlist on Spotify to Keep You Entertained\n\n\nSpotify is a great way to keep yourself entertained on a long road trip. You can create custom playlists for your trip, and there are even some Spotify features that are specifically designed for road trips. Here are some tips for creating the perfect road trip playlist on Spotify:\n\n\n\n\nChoose a variety of songs from different genres. You don\u2019t want to get sick of hearing the same type of music over and over again, so make sure to mix things up. Include some of your favorite songs, as well as some new songs that you\u2019ve been wanting to check out.\n\n\nKeep the playlist updated throughout your trip. As you discover new songs that you like, add them to the playlist so you can listen to them again later. And if there are any songs that you start getting sick of, feel free to delete them from the playlist.\n\n\nDon\u2019t forget to share the playlist with your friends or fellow road-trippers! Spotify makes it easy to share playlists with others, so be sure to share your road trip playlist with your travel companions. This way, everyone can enjoy the music during the drive.\n\n\nMake sure to download the playlist before you leave so you can listen offline. This is especially important if you\u2019re going to be driving through areas with spotty cell service.\n\n\n\n\nStay Comfortable for the Entire Duration of Your Trip with Comfy Clothes\n\n\nWhen embarking on a long road trip, comfort should be one of your top priorities. After all, you\u2019ll be spending hours in the car, and you want to make sure you\u2019re as comfortable as possible. Here are some tips on how to dress comfortably for a long road trip:\n\n\n\n\nWear natural fabrics:\n Synthetic fabrics like polyester can make you sweat more than natural fabrics like cotton. So, if you\u2019re planning on spending a lot of time in the car, it\u2019s best to opt for clothing made from natural fabrics.\n\n\nWear layers:\n Layering your clothing is a great way to stay comfortable while on a long road trip. You can add or remove layers as needed, depending on the temperature inside and outside the car.\n\n\nWear light colors: \nLight-colored clothing helps reflect heat, keeping you cooler in Malaysia\u2019s warm weather.\n\n\nWear closed-toe shoes:\n Shoes with closed toes help keep your feet from getting too hot.\n\n\n\n\nMost Importantly, Drive Safely and Abide by Traffic Rules\n\n\nSpeeding is one of the leading causes of accidents in Malaysia, so it\u2019s important to always drive according to the speed limit. If you\u2019re feeling tired, pull over at an R&R and take a quick nap.\n\n\nIt\u2019s also important to never use your phone while driving, as this will distract you from the road ahead. And finally, always wear your seatbelt to help protect yourself in case of an accident.\n\n\n\n\nKeeping yourself and others safe on the road is essential. Be prepared, and if life gets in the way (as it often does), remember that nothing is worth a fatal road accident.\n\n\nSo, ensure your safety on the road by planning for your road trip wisely.\n\n\nThis article was originally published at \nmy.trapo.asia\n.\n\n", "Tags\nCar Tips\nRoad Trip\nTips", "Haziq Asyraf\nA self-proclaimed foodie and gamer whose passion for food and games has recently extended to cars.", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

If given a choice, Malaysians would happily give their cars new coating and a new colour. The survey further revealed that 56 per cent of car owners were adventurous in their choice of colours and are generally receptive towards non-conventional colours such as yellow, purple, pink, orange, green, red and blue.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe survey encompasses 21 per cent female and 79 per cent male respondents from the age of 20-39.

Is there an underlying reason behind it? Other key insights tabled in the survey showed that 57 per cent of Malaysians prefer compact vehicles while 25 per cent prefer sport utility vehicles (SUV) or multipurpose vehicles (MPV).\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nTrend Colours for Mobility 2018/19 \n\n\nElaborating on the inspiration behind Trend Colours for Mobility, Mr Eugene Yong, Senior Marketing Manager of Nippon Paint Malaysia Group commented, \u201cPreferences, choices and style outlines individuals\u2019 character and personality.

Do you need one?\n\n\n\n\n    These questions are easy and straightforward, but unfortunately the cost involved in getting a car isn\u2019t. This was the discussion at the recent roundtable with Bosch Automotive Aftermarket, Allianz Insurance and RinggitPlus.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The session was to discuss and provide insights into financial planning, vehicle protection and car maintenance factors; cost benefits when purchasing a car. But does affording a car involve just the downpayment and instalments? According to Hann Liew, Founder of RinggitPlus, the individual must first ask if getting a car is a need; and if they can afford it.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this slide, the total cost of ownership based on a RM 50,000 car is an additional 30 per cent on top of the car in its 5\nth\n year. Add in depreciation, running costs, interest and maintenance and you have quite a bit of payments to make.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nThis might be a surprise to you, but even an individual on a RM 4,000 monthly salary should only afford a RM 37,000 car based on the 20 per cent monthly total cost of ownership rule.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    So should you then look at a used car instead of purchasing new? Either or, your vehicle will need insurance. When looking at an insurance perspective, Sazali from Allianz stated that used cars usually have a lower insurance premium compared to new cars.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this chart, the average vehicle depreciation value after 10-years of a RM 50,000 new car is a whopping 68 per cent.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nHere the table for insurance premiums are based on continental, local or Japanese models showcase the differences in percentage. Detariffication factors are also one that will affect premiums based on the individual.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    What about maintenance? This cost factor is also occasionally ignored, but it doesn\u2019t have to be a burden. \u201cIf you\u2019d like to better optimise your car maintenance budget, either DIY in the upkeep of some auto parts such as changing your own wiper blades or opt for reputable brands for auto spare parts as they can lower your car maintenance cost by 25 to 50 per cent\u201d, said Go Boon Wah, Marketing Manager, Bosch Automotive Aftermarket Malaysia.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    Optimising the car maintenance budget are points that Bosch has put together. These are:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        Understanding your car (Eg. If car starts sluggishly, it could be time for a battery change)\n    \n\n\n\n        Work with trusted workshops (Based on reputation and word of mouth recommendations)\n    \n\n\n\n        Regular Maintenance (Faulty parts will cause other parts to work harder, leading to further breakdown)\n    \n\n\n\n        DIY (Purchase wipers online and fix it yourself to save on labour cost)\n    \n\n\n\n        Choose quality-assured auto parts (Save average 47% if you purchase Bosch quality auto parts)\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this table example, the prices for services at regular workshop versus Original Equipment (OE) service centres are compared.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    So the takeaway? Owning a car in Malaysia is no walk in the park. It takes commitment in knowing the long term costs involved, the incurred depreciation, insurance, and maintenance savings that you will gain in the long run.

Itulah tanggapan pertama anda apabila melihat lori pikap Isuzu D-Max X Terrain 2023 yang baru sahaja dilancarkan pada bulan Februari lalu. Ia dilengkapi dengan pelbagai ciri-ciri moden dan kelihatan lebih garang berbanding model sebelumnya.\n\n\nTapi untuk seorang gadis kecil molek seperti Nadia yang dah biasa memandu kereta sedan, adakah mungkin untuk dia berubah arah kepada sebuah lori pikap \u2013 kenderaan yang sinonim dengan kemaskulinan?\n\n\nJom kita ikuti pengalaman Nadia memandu Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain 2023 buat kali pertama.\n\n\nWarna Kelabu yang Bergaya & Kemasan Dalaman yang Mewah\n\n\nPada pandangan pertama, lori pikap gergasi ini kelihatan sangat kukuh, kuat, dan mungkin hanya sesuai untuk orang yang lasak, tetapi ia tidaklah terlalu menakutkan seperti yang Nadia jangkakan.\n\n\nSumber: \npickuptruck.isuzu.net.my\n\n\nWarna baharu Islay Gray Mica yang ditawarkan oleh Isuzu menyuntik imej bergaya kepada lori pikap D-Max ini, ditambah pula dengan tayar serba rupa bumi \n(all-terrain wheels) \nyang dipasang pada rim aloi 18 inci berwarna kelabu gelap, ia pasti akan menarik perhatian orang ramai apabila dipandu di jalan raya.\n\n\nBukan itu sahaja, kemasan dalaman dengan warna unik Caf\u00e9 Brown yang menawan juga membuat Nadia terasa seperti berada dalam kereta sedan mewah, bukannya dalam sebuah lori pikap. Isuzu D-Max baharu ini juga dilengkapi dengan pelbagai ciri-ciri mesra pengguna seperti pencahayaan ambien, skrin infohibur dengan paparan sembilan inci yang mempunyai sokongan Apple Car Play dan Android Auto, pengecasan tanpa wayar, port USB-C, dan banyak lagi.\n\n\nBagi Nadia, pengalaman memandu Isuzu D-Max ini sangat mengujakan dan tak ubah seperti memandu kereta sedan \u2013 ia dilengkapi dengan enjin diesel turbo 3.0 liter yang menawarkan daya pecutan dan kuasa yang tinggi sehingga dia terlupa bahawa dia sebenarnya sedang memandu sebuah lori pikap!\n\n\nPemanduan\n \nyang Sangat Selesa\u00a0\n\n\nBiasanya, keselesaan bukanlah ciri utama yang dikehendaki oleh penggemar lori pikap. Tetapi bagi Nadia, Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain ini sebenarnya sangat selesa! Rekaan tempat duduknya telah diperbaharui agar lebih ergonomik dan ia dibalut dengan kulit berwarna hitam yang berkualiti tinggi.\n\n\nSumber: \npickuptruck.isuzu.net.my\n\n\nJadi, memang tiada masalah kalau anda mahu memandu D-Max ini di atas lebuh raya untuk jarak jauh seperti nak pergi melancong atau balik ke kampung halaman. Namun, bagaimana pula prestasinya kalau ia dipandu di atas jalan yang tidak berturap?\n\n\nWalaupun ini adalah kali pertama Nadia cuba memandu di atas jalan yang tidak berturap, tetapi dia mampu melakukannya dengan mudah dan tenang hasil bantuan sistem arahan rupa bumi pintar 4\u00d74 (\nIntelligent Terrain Command 4\u00d74 System\n) dan kunci pembezaan belakang (\nrear differential lock)\n yang ada pada Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain.\n\n\nNama pun kenderaan 4\u00d74, jadi tak hairanlah jika Nadia mampu mengendalikan lori pikap tersebut dengan lincah dan bersahaja tanpa sebarang kerisauan memandangkan Isuzu D-Max ini mampu menakluki apa saja jenis muka bumi yang anda mahu tempuhi.\n\n\nNak Parkir Pun Mudah Walaupun Saiz Besar\n\n\nSatu sebab yang membuatkan ramai teragak-agak untuk dapatkan lori pikap adalah saiznya yang sangat besar. Lebih-lebih lagi apabila mengambil kira keluasan petak parkir di Malaysia yang hanya cukup-cukup makan sahaja.\n\n\nSumber: \npickuptruck.isuzu.net.my\n\n\nNadia berjaya memarkir Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain tersebut pada cubaan pertama tanpa perlu bersusah payah hasil bantuan kamera pandangan belakang, sensor parkir kereta, dan monitor pandangan keliling 360 darjah (Around View Monitor) yang ada pada lori pikap tersebut.\n\n\nApa pula pandangan Nadia mengenai ruang kargo Isuzu D-Max? Pada mulanya dia merasakan yang ianya satu ruang besar yang disia-siakan dan pintu belakangnya juga tidak menarik perhatian. Walau bagaimanapun, Nadia berpendapat yang ruang tersebut sangat berguna untuk perjalanan jarak jauh dan trip membeli-belah ke IKEA.\n\n\nKesimpulannya, Nadia telah berjaya membuktikan yang lori pikap Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain adalah sebuah kenderaan yang sangat sesuai untuk digunakan oleh para wanita di luar sana walaupun ia nampak menggerunkan dan sering dikaitkan dengan sifat maskulin.\n\n\nPerlu diingat, perkara paling penting yang perlu diambil kira semasa anda memilih kereta adalah jika ia memenuhi keperluan harian anda. Tak kiralah jika pendapat umum mengatakan yang sesebuah kereta hanya sesuai untuk golongan atau jantina tertentu, jika ia sesuai dengan bajet anda dan ia mempunyai ciri-ciri yang anda perlukan, teruskan sahaja dengan pilihan anda. Ia mungkin akan jadi keputusan terbaik yang anda pernah buat!\n\n\n\n\nJika anda sedang mencari \nlori pikap pramilik berkualiti\n, layari \ncarsome.my\n atau\n muat turun aplikasi kami\n untuk dapatkan lori pikap idaman anda hari ini!\n\n\nArtikel ini ditulis berdasarkan video \u201c\nHow the 2023 Isuzu D-Max Changed My Mind About Pick Up Trucks (First Timer Impressions)\n\u201d yang diterbitkan di laman Youtube Wapcar.\n\n", "Haziq Asyraf\nA self-proclaimed foodie and gamer whose passion for food and games has recently extended to cars.", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Every year, this festivity is celebrated by bringing newness to every aspect, driving us to buy new clothes, furniture, decor, and more.\n\n\nBut newness does not always have to be something completely brand-new \u2013 instead, newness represents the gesture, the concept of where something that is new to us, comes into our lives \u2013 just like buying a used car.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nSo, this Chinese New Year, we at Carsome are celebrating our loved ones who have made sacrifices, believed in our dreams, and put us ahead of them so we could have our dreams come true; their love is the greatest prosperity we will have.\u00a0\n\n\nWhile it is impossible to put a price on the care and sacrifices they have made, we believe in giving rewards from our hearts, to enrich their lives, just like they did ours. So, here\u2019s to the ones that gave us tremendous love.\u00a0\n\n\nA Mother\u2019s Love Knows No Bounds\n\n\n\n\nOur mothers weren\u2019t always moms \u2013 they were once travelers, entrepreneurs, and dreamers who were eager to reach for the stars. But when we came along, they gladly exchanged their passionate life for a journey through motherhood, to bring us up.\n\n\nIt wasn\u2019t an ordinary journey either. During the early years, there was no time off for them. They went through countless sleepless nights, just to keep us safe and secure. We were always their number one priority, on top of any other. Then when our tiny self grew up and started chasing dreams, they inspired us to always do better.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nThe largest and most impactful sacrifices in our lives are made by our mothers. She deserves her dreams. Show her your appreciation by giving her newness with the gift of a car for her to go on the passionate adventure she has always wanted.\n\n\nFather Knows Best\n\n\n\n\nDads are not just dads, they are our everything as we grow up \u2013 they are our drivers, our handymen, our teacher, and many more. Their extensive role is a huge responsibility that others might see as a burden.\n\n\nBeing the pillar of the family, our father\u2019s role is to nurture us to be our better selves and to prepare us for the real world. In doing so, there are countless moments where they \nhave\n to give up on their dreams to ensure that our needs are fulfilled \u2013 like that time your father had to forgo buying a new car because you needed a laptop for school or to simply put food on the table.\n\n\nDespite all the weight they had to carry and the sacrifices they had to make, they always came through for us. This time, let\u2019s put the spotlight on our fathers for everything they\u2019ve done for us and fulfill their lifelong dreams by giving them their dream car.\n\n\nYour Significant Other Is Forever\n\n\n\n\nMarried life is not easy. A strong marriage relies on two people giving their all to make things work. With so many roles that need to be fulfilled, there are moments where our spouse will have to sacrifice something to make us happy.\n\n\nRemember that day when you were supposed to be on a trip with your family but a sudden and unavoidable meeting came up? It was our spouse who gallantly helped calm down the kids and patiently took care of them throughout their tantrums while we \nfinished\n up with work.\n\n\nPerhaps it\u2019s time to surprise them with something crazy for all their hard work and their dream car sounds like a brilliant idea.\n\n\nSister, Sister\n\n\n\n\n\u201c\nBlood runs thicker than water\u201d \u2013 no other statement ever could explain the relationship we have with our sister. Sisters are our partner and our dearest ally who never fails to be there to support us when we are at our lowest.\n\n\nThey understand us more than anyone and they know what needs to be done to make things right when the whole world is not on our side. No matter what happens, our sisters would continue to drive us to greater heights.\n\n\nNow is our chance to return the favor, to thank them for everything that they have done for us. It\u2019s always better to level up together, especially when you gift her a like-new car.\n\n\nA Brother\u2019s Sacrifice\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAnnoyingly important, that\u2019s what brothers are. Our mistakes will never slip past their judgmental eyes, but when assistance is required, they never hesitate to watch our backs.\n\n\nThroughout our lives, our brothers are the closest role model we have, aside from our parents \u2013 they can be our greatest friend. They will always encourage us to chase our dreams as our parents do, and they\u2019re even willing to give up theirs just to support us towards success.\n\n\nFor everything they have done, it is time for us to show gratitude to our dearest brothers with the car they have always wanted.\n\n\nReward Your Loved Ones This Chinese New Year\n\n\nThis Chinese New Year, Carsome is giving Ong-tastic deals for you to buy a car for you or the loved ones who have given you the greatest prosperity of all \u2013 love.\u00a0\n\n\nFor our Carsome Chinese New Year, we are giving you an Ong-tastic deal. \nNow, you can\n \nget a \nspecial, limited Carsome Ang Pow \nin the form of \nTouch \u2018n Go eWallet credit\n \nworth RM888\n for the first 100 customers and the rest will receive \nRM288\n when you \nbook a Carsome Certified ca\nr\n with us from \n1 January to 15 February 2022\n.\n\n\nSo, go on, give your loved ones the gift they deserve as we promise you true quality for our Carsome Certified car that has passed a 175-inspection and come with a fixed price, one-year warranty, and five-day money-back guarantee.

The new Cayenne promises to be more Porsche and more Cayenne than ever. It will not only continue its excellent balance of performance and practicality, but expands on a wider range of standard equipment as well.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe new Cayenne is now up to 65 kilograms lighter thanks to its intelligent lightweight construction. The car remains perfectly suitable for off-road usage despite its shift on focus on performance and comfort. It houses a more powerful turbo engine, new eight-speed Tiptronic S gearbox, and new chassis. The innovative Porsche Advanced Cockpit display and control concept allows total connectivity that takes both sportiness and comfort to the next level.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u201cThe Cayenne has also been digitalised and networked to provide another level of digital connectivity to the cockpit. This is how the Cayenne makes the Porsche experience even more fascinating but remains as a genuine sports car for five,\u201d said Arnt Bayer CEO of Sime Darby Auto Performance.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAvailable in two variants, the Cayenne has a three-litre turbo engine that gives an output of 340 hp, or 40 hp more than the previous model. The Cayenne S on the other hand is capable of speeds of up to 265 km/h, the 2.9-litre V6 biturbo engine produces a menacing 440 hp. Also, equipped with the optional Sport Chrono Package, the new Cayenne S does a century sprint in less than five seconds.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nModelled heavily on the iconic 911 sports car, the Cayenne SUV features mixed tyres and rear-axle steering for the very first time. In turn, its on-road capabilities is improved by the active all-wheel drive as standard, Porsche 4D Chassis Control, three-chamber air suspension, the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) electronic roll stabilisation system, and the newly developed high-performance Porsche Surface Coated Brake (PSCB).\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe new Cayenne is now available for pre-order.

Our windshield wipers play a huge role in protecting vehicle occupants. However, because of constant changes in outdoor elements, it deteriorates the rubber and silicone squeegees that make our wipers tick.\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBut with proper care, the lifespan of our windscreen/windshield wipers would last an average of six to twelve months. The best practice is to do a check-up every six months and replace your windshield wipers once a year. Lack of proper care can cause the wiper squeegees to harden, and sometimes have rust buildup on the wiper arms themselves.\u00a0\n\n\nNow, here\u2019s how your wipers deteriorate over time and ways to make sure your wipers stay in tip-top condition.\u00a0\n\n\nHow Our Window Wipers Deteriorate Overtime\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriction in Motion\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEver wondered how our rubber erasers turn from a rubber brick to a little ball over time? That\u2019s friction in play. Friction is the bane of all wear and tear, especially on rubber surfaces. Friction also generates heat due to the rubber molecules dragging on the surface. This friction turns into energy, and energy turns into heat during this process. That\u2019s how rubber materials, such as the ones on windshield wipers, get worn out after prolonged usage.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Damages of Sunlight\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe process of rubber hardening and crumbling after a prolonged exposure to heat is called Rubber Degradation. This phenomenon is caused by a chain hardening of rubber molecules from sunlight and UV rays. The heat from sunlight dries up any moisture in the rubber squeegee. For a tropical climate like our country, this is a major threat to our windshield wipers as it is mostly sunny in Malaysia. \n\n\nRead More: \nHow does sunlight harden rubber\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMinerals Inside Rainwater\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOutdoor elements would really further accelerate the wear and tear of your windshield wipers. If you live near an industrial area, the smog and air pollution accumulated in the region eventually will come back down as acid rain. Cars that are frequently parked outside near industrial areas will eventually have many parts corroded. The acidic chemicals in the rainwater will burn and deteriorate the rubber materials in the squeegee.\n\n\nHow to Preserve and Maintain Wipers\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRunning Wipers on Dry Windshield\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTry not to engage your wipers on a dry windshield. Due to the abrasive nature of rubber and silicone, any slight friction will start wearing out the blades. Furthermore, it makes an awful sound coming from the wipers while driving. At the end of the day, why would you use your wipers during a dry spell anyway?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUse WD40 to Clean Up Wiper Blades\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring drives, all sorts of contaminants will accumulate on the windshield wipers. From dust to smog particles, all these will spread on your windshield with a little bit of moisture. A little maintenance with WD40 and dry cloth can help remove residues.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you had a father that was a handyman at home, you find this iconic blue spray can of lubricant around the house. WD40 has been eponymous everywhere from household to industrial workshops as a jack of all trades lubricant.\u00a0\n\n\nStart by spraying some WD40 on the cloth and grasp the wiper blade firmly. Then, wipe all the grime that is sitting on the wiper and squeegee it out. You\u2019ll notice the cloth turns black from all the excess gunk that is sitting on the wiper blades the whole time. In addition, any leftover WD40 left on the wiper blades is now hydrophobic from the lubrication of the WD40\n\n\nWatch here: \nHow to clean your wiper blades with WD40\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheck for Rust and Corrosion on the Wiper Arms, Joints, and Claws\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMost automotive manufacturers use aluminum as the industry standard for windshield wipers. While aluminum doesn\u2019t rust easily, it\u2019s still a highly reactive metal. This means that prolonged exposure to UV Rays, acid rain, and other corrosive elements will eventually chew through your windshield wipers just like any other metal over time.\n\n\nDo check in from time to time on your wiper blades for any paint chipping too. The paint adds another extra layer of protection to the aluminum arms. Get a fresh coat of paint when needed, otherwise, you may have to replace the whole arm due to rust.\u00a0\n\n\nRead more: \nChanging Your Wipers: A Small Price to Pay For Your Safety\n\n\nRead more: \nAluminum Isn\u2019t Rust-Proof as You Think\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPark Your Vehicle in the Shade\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf possible, try to keep your car under a shade. Remember when we mentioned the damages sunlight can cause earlier? Parking under the bare tropical heat can accelerate the lifespan of your car wipers. If you work near an industrial area, the acid rain that pours down will also damage any vital part of your wipers.\u00a0\n\n\nBefore you know it, you\u2019ll also be exposing the metal frame inside the wiper arms that holds the rubber squeegee together; in worst cases, it might even scratch your windshield! So, park your vehicle under a tree, a roof, or a basement. Not only can you keep your vehicle cool, but also protect many vital parts of your car from the elements.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheck-In on Wiper Fluid\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDon\u2019t forget the wiper fluid too! Wiper fluids too are essential to keep your car wipers running. Wiper fluids not only help with cleaning your windshield on the road, but it also aids as a lubricant for the motor that keeps the wipers moving.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you can\u2019t have access to specialized wiper fluid from a hardware store, you can make one at home! All you need is to mix some soap and water, then fill the mixture into the wiper fluid reservoir. It\u2019s that simple.\u00a0\n\n\nWatch here: \nHere\u2019s how to make your own wiper fluid\n\n\nWhere to Buy Replacement Wipers Should You Need Them Changed\n\n\nShould the day comes when you need to get a pair of new wipers, they are commonly sold in hardware stores and auto accessories shops. Moreover, you can also get them online through Shopee and Lazada if there are no shops in your area. The average cost for a pair of new wipers can be varied depending on size and including labor costs should you decide to get them installed in an auto accessory shop. Just ask the friendly shopkeeper for a price quote.\u00a0\n\n\nRead more: \nTypes of Windshield Wipers used in cars.\n\u00a0\n\n\nTaking care of your windshield wiper and car, in general, will benefit you greatly if you intend to sell your car in the future.

Apakah perkara yang perlu dilakukan semasa servis kereta? Berapa kerap servis kereta perlu dilakukan? Perkara ini merupakan permasalahan biasa yang sering dialami dan menggusarkan pemilik kereta.\n\n\n15 \nChecklist\n Servis Kereta Yang Anda Perlu Tahu\n\n\nUntuk memudahkan anda, Carsome menyenaraikan 15 panduan dan perkara asas mengenai servis kereta untuk anda yang mungkin baru pertama kali memiliki kereta atau kurang arif berkenaan proses servis kereta. Dengan mengetahui perkara asas sebegini, anda bukan sahaja dapat memastikan kereta anda berada dalam keadaan baik, malah mengelakkan pertambahan kos terutamanya jika berlaku kerosakan yang lebih serius.\n\n\n\n\nServis Kereta Jangka Pendek\n\n\nPenyelenggaraan perlu dilakukan mengikut tempoh masa yang ditetapkan untuk memastikan kenderaan berada dalam keadaan selamat dan baik. Kebiasaannya, penyelenggaraan kereta jangka pendek dibuat setiap 5,000 km atau setiap tiga bulan bergantung pada keadaan semasa kereta dan kekerapan pemanduan. Anda boleh mempertimbangkan perkara-perkara berikut untuk servis kereta jangka pendek:\n\n\n\n\n1. Paras Minyak dan Cecair Penyejuk\n\n\nPeriksa paras minyak (minyak enjin atau minyak gear) dan paras cecair penyejuk dalam kereta anda. Pastikan ia berada pada paras yang disyorkan terutamanya sebelum memulakan perjalanan jarak jauh. Kandungan minyak enjin, minyak gear atau cecair penyejuk yang rendah boleh menyebabkan kerosakan pada bahagian enjin jika dibiarkan. Jika tidak pasti, anda boleh rujuk manual pemilik untuk mendapatkan info lanjut mengenai paras minyak dan cecair penyejuk yang sesuai untuk kereta anda.\n\n\n2. Penapis Udara\n\n\nPenapis udara berfungsi mengawal aliran udara yang masuk ke dalam enjin dan membantu mengelakkan serpihan atau bendasing daripada memasuki dan merosakkan bahagian enjin. \nCar air filter\n atau penapis udara kereta yang berada dalam keadaan baik bukan sahaja dapat membantu memanjangkan jangka hayat enjin, malah turut membantu meningkatkan kecekapan bahan bakar dan mengurangkan kadar pelepasan asap berbahaya yang boleh mencemarkan udara. Untuk lebih menjimatkan, anda boleh membersihkan dan memeriksa \npenapis udara\n kereta \nsendiri di rumah. Rujuk manual pemilik jika tidak pasti.\n\n\n3. Keadaan Tayar\n\n\nPeriksa keadaan tayar sekurang-kurangnya sekali setiap dua minggu atau sebelum memulakan perjalanan jarak jauh. Tayar yang rosak atau tidak berada dalam keadaan baik boleh menyebabkan risiko kecederaan atau kemalangan yang mungkin boleh meragut nyawa. Selain itu, periksa tekanan tayar dari semasa ke semasa. Jika tekanan angin dalam tayar lebih rendah daripada yang ditetapkan, ia boleh meningkatkan penggunaan bahan api dan mengurangkan cengkaman antara tayar dan permukaan jalan. Namun begitu, jika tekanan angin berlebihan, kehausan bunga tayar yang tidak sekata boleh berlaku. \nTekanan tayar kereta\n yang disyorkan biasanya dilekatkan pada pintu bahagian pemandu kereta.\n\n\n4. Lampu Depan, Signal, Brek dan Undur\n\n\nPastikan lampu depan kereta anda termasuk lampu suluh rendah (\nlow beam\n), lampu suluh tinggi (\nhigh beam\n) dan lampu kabus depan berfungsi dan berada dalam keadaan baik. Sekurang-kurangnya sekali sebulan, Hidupkan lampu depan dan belakang, lampu brek, signal kereta \u2013\u00a0periksa sama ada mentol lampu depan dan belakang di kedua-dua bahagian menyala dan tidak terbakar. Berjalan di sekeliling kereta anda atau minta bantuan rakan, pasangan atau anak untuk berdiri di belakang kereta anda semasa anda memeriksanya.\n\n\n5. Minyak Hitam dan Penapis Minyak\n\n\nMinyak hitam kereta berfungsi untuk membersihkan, menyejukkan, melicinkan pergerakan dan mengelakkan kerosakan pada bahagian enjin. Anda disarankan untuk menggantikan dan menukar \nminyak hitam kereta\n secara berkala supaya tidak menjejaskan prestasi dan ketahanan enjin. Ambil kira faktor-faktor lain seperti tahap kelikatan minyak pelincir, jenis minyak pelincir dan jenis enjin kereta dan sebagainya sebelum memilih minyak enjin yang sesuai untuk kereta anda. Kebiasaanya, minyak hitam dan penapis minyak ditukar setiap tiga bulan atau 3,000 batu bergantung pada jenis kereta, jenis minyak dan cara penggunaan.\n\n\n6. Tekanan Tayar\n\n\nKebanyakan pemandu kurang memberikan perhatian terhadap tekanan angin tayar yang bersesuaian. Tekanan angin tayar yang tidak sesuai seperti terlalu rendah atau berlebihan (terlalu keras) boleh menjejaskan keselesaan sepanjang pemanduan. Malah, dalam kes-kes tertentu ia boleh menyebabkan kemalangan. Jika tekanan angin terlalu rendah, ia boleh menyebabkan kebocoran dan jika tekanan angin terlalu tinggi, ia boleh menyebabkan \naquaplanning\n terutamanya semasa musim hujan. \nTekanan angin dalam tayar\n \nbergantung pada jenis kereta dan jenis tayar yang digunakan \u2013 periksa maklumat tekanan tayar pada bahagian pintu depan sebelah tempat duduk pemandu.\n\n\nServis Kereta Jangka Panjang\n\n\nPenyelenggaraan jangka panjang pula biasanya dilakukan setiap 30,000 atau setahun sekali bergantung pada prestasi dan keadaan kereta. Carsome menyenaraikan enam perkara berkaitan servis kereta jangka panjang yang boleh anda pertimbangkan:\n\n\n\n\n1. Palam Pencucuh\n\n\nSpark plug\n atau palam pencucuh sangat penting bagi sistem nyalaan enjin sesebuah kenderaan. Palam pencucuh merupakan peralatan elektrik yang dipasang pada silinder enjin petrol yang berfungsi membakar campuran udara dan bahan api melalui bunga api elektrik. Sekiranya palam pencucuh tidak berfungsi dengan baik, enjin akan kehilangan kuasa dan tidak dapat beroperasi pada kapasiti maksimum. Lakukan pemeriksaan profesional dan gantikan jika terdapat sebarang kerosakan pada palam pencucuh.\n\n\n7 Tanda \nSpark Plug \nKereta Rosak\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKenderaan terasa berat semasa memecut;\n\n\nEnjin sukar dihidupkan terutamanya pada waktu pagi;\n\n\nPembakaran enjin tidak sekata;\n\n\nPenggunaan bahan api yang berlebihan;\n\n\nBunyi enjin lebih bising daripada biasa;\n\n\nAda gegaran setelah enjin dihidupkan;\n\n\nKuasa enjin tidak stabil.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Cecair Penyejuk\n\n\nCoolant\n atau cecair penyejuk merupakan sejenis bendalir berasaskan air yang digunakan semasa pembakaran dalam enjin bertujuan untuk menyejukkan enjin dan mengelakkan situasi panas lampau (\noverheating\n). Cecair penyejuk akan dikitarkan ke blok enjin menerusi radiator dan berfungsi sepanjang pengoperasian enjin sekali gus memastikan enjin sentiasa berada pada suhu yang optimum. Kegagalan melakukan servis radiator dan menggantikan \ncoolant\n mengikut jadual boleh menyebabkan masalah lain seperti \noverheat\n, kebocoran pada hos, radiator tersumbat akibat pengumpulan karat dan kerosakan-kerosakan lain yang boleh memakan belanja yang lebih besar. Rujuk manual pemilik untuk mengetahui kadar kekerapan penukaran cecair penyejuk yang disyorkan.\n\n\n3. Minyak \nGearbox\n\n\nSetiap kereta mempunyai jangka hayat minyak \ngearbox\n yang berbeza bergantung pada jenis, spesifikasi kereta. Namun kebiasaannya, minyak\n gearbox\n ditukar pada setiap 20,000 km. Penukaran minyak\n gearbox\n mengikut masa dapat meningkatkan jangka hayat \ngearbox\n kereta anda. Sama seperti minyak enjin, minyak \ngearbox\n berfungsi sebagai pelincir yang membantu memastikan semua bahagian berfungsi dengan baik.

While it protects the occupants from the elements of the outdoors, ironically, it endangers the passengers during a car crash when jagged shards of glass start flying in the cabin.\n\n\n\n\nNowadays, tempered glass has become the global standard for windshields in the automotive industry. The glass is made by treating regular glass panels through heat and chemical means to reinforce its strength. This puts the glass under stress and breaks it into smaller, round chunks rather than jagged and serrated shards when shattered.\u00a0\n\n\nOur vehicle windscreens tend to be the most overlooked part of vehicle maintenance. Fortunately, maintaining a car windshield is easier than you think. Many car owners roll with the pretense of \u201cIf there\u2019s no crack on the glass, then it\u2019s all good.\u201d But mitigating visible damage on the windscreen is one thing as having a clear windscreen is also crucial in ensuring a safe driving experience on the road.\u00a0\n\n\nHence, here are five tips for maintaining your car\u2019s windscreen.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nThe Difference Between Windshield Glass & Regular Glass\u00a0\n\n\n1. Avoid Slamming Car Doors as it Affects Your Car\u2019s Windscreen\n\n\nDoor slamming is one of the common issues overlooked by car owners. Anyone can relate to the times you received a mouthful from your parents or friends because you slammed the car door too hard. Slamming car doors can cause pre-existing chips and cracks to grow over time.\u00a0\n\n\nHow does the motion of slamming doors affect the cracks? If you have come across videos of people attempting to shatter glass with vibrations, it\u2019s more or less the same theory. Glass has a natural resonance and tends to vibrate with frequency. The motion of slamming doors over time will accelerate cracks on the windscreen over time or worse, dislodge the whole windscreen from the frame.\u00a0\n\n\nWatch Here: \nHow Glass Shatters From Vibrations\n\n\n2. Do Regular Cleaning & Proper Maintenance\n\n\nInstead of using a regular cloth, try opting for a microfiber cloth for your car washes. Microfiber, as the name implies, is an ultrafine synthetic fiber. A single strand of microfiber is typically smaller than a strand of human hair and is denser in cloth fibers than a regular cloth. The end result leaves the surface streak-free with every wipe. It\u2019s also free from lint. Cloth lint is the small fiber strands that get worn out of the cloth with use over time.\u00a0\n\n\nA regular cloth can retain more water and holds more contaminants invisible to the naked eye. The main culprits like sand and small stones can cause micro-scratches on your windshield -when a little light shines on it, it\u2019ll be quite an irritating sight to see. After all, who likes scratches on their car?\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nHere Are the Things You Need to Know Before Choosing an Auto film for Your Car\n\u00a0\n\n\n3. Get Wax & Ceramic Coating Treatment\n\n\nThere are plenty of services out there where you can get your car waxed and ceramic coated in Malaysia. While it can be expensive, most automotive enthusiasts or people who want to keep their car\u2019s value in tip-top condition would opt for these choices. Ceramic coatings don\u2019t usually come in traces of ceramic in them per se. Instead, these coatings are made of graphene and liquid polymer to protect paint and car surfaces from scratches and dirt.\u00a0\n\n\nGetting a layer coated on your windscreen can prevent scratches from marring. In addition, it makes your car\u2019s windscreen hydrophobic \u2013 watching those water droplets roll down the screen while getting a clear view of the road during downpours can be pretty satisfying.\n\n\n4. Take Care of Your Wipers with Daily Maintenance\n\n\nWindshield wipers are also essential too! The rubber padding on the wipers will wear out gradually with use over time. In extreme cases, excessively worn wipers can expose the metal parts of the wiper arm scratching your windscreen.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nTips on Maintaining Your Car\u2019s Windshield Wipers\n\n\nWithout proper friction from the wipers, anything lodged in between the wipers can scratch your glass every time you engage them. Worn-out windshield wiper blades also have difficulties sweeping water off your windshield during heavy rain. If you park your car frequently under a tree, watch out for pollen, dead twigs, and leaves building up on the wipers! Neglecting to remove residue that nests on your wiper blades can scratch and damage your windscreen when you engage the wipers.\u00a0\n\n\nSimple windshield wiper maintenance can be done by checking for signs of damage on the wiper arms. Worn and improperly installed wipers can damage your windscreen when in use.

Instead of lugging heavy camping gear on foot and tiring yourself out, it involves you driving your car right up to your campsite with all the gear you need.\n\n\nCompared to traditional camping in the jungle, car camping offers a more easy-going camping experience that\u2019s great for the whole family. If you\u2019ve been thinking about going car camping in Malaysia, here\u2019s a list of essential camping supplies and top camping spots you can visit in the country.\n\n\n\n\nWhat is Car Camping?\n\n\nCar camping doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you camp in your car. Instead, it involves carrying all your camping supplies in the car and driving right up to your campsite, and working out of your car, so you can grab the items you need when you need them.\u00a0\n\n\nSince you don\u2019t really have to limit how much you carry, car camping is a lot more comfortable than traditional camping \u2013 you can pack everything you need from fresh ingredients in cooler boxes to comfy pillows and blankets. With the convenience of car camping, you can focus on enjoying your time relaxing, cooking, and hiking with your friends. In fact, if you choose the right campsite, you can even camp with your children and senior parents.\n\n\nCar Camping Essentials List\n\n\nWhen going car camping in Malaysia, you can bring almost everything you can think of along with you. However, you\u2019re still limited by how much you can carry in your vehicle, be it a \nhatchback\n, \nsedan\n, or \nmultipurpose vehicle (MPV)\n. To help you prepare for your next car camping excursion, here\u2019s a list of the essential supplies you should prepare.\n\n\n1. Tent\n\n\nWhile you could sleep in your vehicle if you really wanted to, getting a good tent can ensure that you remain as comfortable as possible while camping. Choose a tent that\u2019s easy to set up and waterproof to shelter you from rain. Be sure to note the size of your tent as it will depend on the number of people that will sleep in it.\u00a0\n\n\nBesides the usual camping tent, you can even get a rooftop tent or a car tent that attaches to the boot opening at the rear. When shopping for a car tent, make sure that it\u2019s compatible with your vehicle as some tents may be designed for larger vehicles like \nsports utility vehicles (SUVs)\n and \nMPVs\n instead of sedans and hatchbacks.\n\n\n\n\nHere\u2019s what a rooftop car tent looks like\n\n\nRead More: \n7 Defensive Driving Tips That May Just Save Your Life\n\n\n2. Sleeping Bag, Pillow & Blanket\n\n\nWhether you decide to sleep in your car or in a tent, you need some sleeping gear to stay comfortable. When you camp outdoors, the temperature at night and in the early morning can be too cold. Therefore, it\u2019s important to pack an inflatable mattress, pillows, and a blanket.\u00a0\n\n\nThat said, if you want to carry a lighter load, you can just pack a sleeping bag since it takes up very little space and can double up as a mattress and blanket. While some sleeping bags have foldable hoods that you can use as a pillow, it\u2019s a good idea to bring a compact camping pillow for extra comfort. You should also pack some foldable mats that you can lay on the ground to get the picnic feel during meals.\n\n\n3. Cooking Supplies\n\n\nPart of the fun of going car camping in Malaysia is cooking with your group. And since you can pack more in your vehicle, you should bring enough cooking supplies if you plan on cooking a decent feast. The most crucial cooking supply would be a camping stove. Be sure to select the right stove depending on the size of your group. If you have a larger group, you can consider a double-burner gas stove. Here are the important cooking supplies you\u2019ll need while camping:\n\n\n\n\nCamping stove and camping grill;\n\n\nOutdoor cookware \u2013 pans, pots, spatulas, kitchen tongs, etc.;\n\n\nGas stove refill canister;\n\n\nAluminum foil to wrap your food during grilling;\n\n\nDishwashing soap, sponge, and a pail to do the dishes;\n\n\nGarbage bag to throw your food waste;\n\n\nInstant foods and drinks such as instant noodles, coffee, etc.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Eating Utensils\n\n\nOf course, you also need utensils to eat the feast you prepare. Pack enough utensils for your group and maybe a few extra items just in case. Since camping is all about enjoying and appreciating nature, avoid bringing disposable utensils if you can help it. Also, stick to plastic or stainless steel plates and cups to avoid breaking any. Essential utensils you shouldn\u2019t miss include:\n\n\n\n\nSpoons, forks, and ladles;\n\n\nPlates and cups;\n\n\nContainers to eat your meal out of. You can also use these to serve the food and pack them if you have leftovers.\n\n\n\n\nRead More:\n \nCar Interior Cleaning Tips\n\n\n5. Cooler Box\n\n\nSince most car camping sites are easily accessible, it\u2019s easier to bring more ingredients to cook. A cooler box allows you to store fresh ingredients such as meats and vegetables without them spoiling. You can also store cool drinks and ice cubes which you\u2019ll definitely need after returning from hiking or playing in the river. However, don\u2019t forget to pack dry foods that you can quickly whip up into a meal such as bread, butter, biscuits, nuts, and dried fruits.\n\n\n6. Lightweight Clothes\n\n\nBeing in a tropical country, it\u2019s recommended that you pack lightweight clothes when camping. Also, pack clothes according to the activities that you have planned for your trip. For instance, if you plan on going hiking, be sure to pack proper hiking shoes, socks, and pants that sufficiently protect your legs from the elements.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you only plan to hang out at your campsite and go down to the beach or river (if any), some lightweight clothes, slippers, and extra towels will do you good. Of course, don\u2019t forget to bring a sweater or jacket for when the night gets cold, and a waterproof parka in case it rains.\n\n\n7. Fire Starter\n\n\nBeing able to start a fire is crucial to enjoying your time camping. You\u2019ll need it to cook, to start a campfire, and to warm you up at night. To ensure that you can start a fire without fail, you\u2019ll need a firestarter. A firestarter is a block of material that burns very easily which you use to start a campfire. Firewood that\u2019s left outside can become damp as a result of coming in contact with morning dew or rain, which makes a firestarter an essential camping supply.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nBest Family Cars in Malaysia\n\n\n\n\n8. Large Water Bottle\n\n\nSome car camping spots in Malaysia provide basic necessities including running water, shower stalls, electricity, and may even sell mineral water bottles. However, you should still bring along enough water to stay hydrated. You can also pack a portable water filter to use in emergencies or when you run out of drinking water.\n\n\n9. Toiletries\n\n\nKeeping good hygiene is important when you go camping as you\u2019ll be outdoors and doing physical activities during your stay. To help you keep clean and feeling fresh, pack sufficient toiletries including soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, towels, wet wipes, deodorant, and anything else that you need. It\u2019s also a good idea to pack insect repellent and sunscreen as you\u2019ll be outdoors most of the time.\n\n\n10. First Aid Kit\n\n\nIt always pays to be prepared, so be sure to pack a first aid kit when camping. While a basic first aid kit is usually enough, you can choose to bring a larger, better-equipped kit when car camping since you\u2019ll have the space. Camping outdoors can expose you and your group to unexpected risks such as minor cuts, bruises, and insect bites, so it\u2019s a good idea to learn how to treat these injuries.\u00a0\n\n\nRemember that a first aid kit is supposed to be a first response measure in an emergency. In case of more serious injuries such as a burn or fracture, bring the patient to the clinic or hospital after the first aid treatment.\n\n\n11. Outdoor Camping Survival Kit\n\n\nAn outdoor survival kit can prove helpful in a number of situations from helping you fix a broken tent to building an emergency shelter in the woods. A decent survival kit can range in price from under RM100 to over RM200 depending on its size and quality, but you can typically get a lot out of a RM100 kit.\u00a0\n\n\nImportant items that a kit should have include scissors, a knife, compass, tactical pen, flashlight, paracord, and whistle. Other helpful items you should consider packing for your car camping trip include:\n\n\n\n\nDuct tape;\n\n\nLighter;\n\n\nSafety pins;\n\n\nMachete or axe;\n\n\nFirewood.\n\n\n\n\nRead More:\n \nBest Off-Road Cars in Malaysia: From Trucks to SUVs\n\n\n\n\n12. Flashlight or Headlamp\n\n\nSince the lighting at most camping spots will most likely be limited, bring along a flashlight or headlamp to help you see in the dark. You can use it to see better when you need to grab supplies out of your car or when you go hiking at predawn hours. For lighting up your campsite, you can leave an electric camping lantern by your table or sitting area.\n\n\n13. Other Helpful Accessories\n\n\nBesides the camping essentials listed above, there are other items you can bring to improve your car camping experience. Here are some accessories you can consider:\n\n\n\n\nCamping chair:\n While you could sit on a mat or a log, a camping chair is just more comfortable. Plus, sitting on an actual chair is easier on the joints.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoot organizer:\n A boot organizer is extremely useful to keep your boot organized when you have many small items in your car. You can organize your toiletries, electronics, food, and anything else you\u2019re bringing.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoard games:\n These can keep you occupied when you\u2019re not doing any physical activity, such as after dinner. Games are also a great way to entertain kids.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortable speaker or instruments:\n Having some music on your camping trip can lift everyone\u2019s spirits and bring people closer together. Or, you can bring a guitar and have a mini concert or camp sing-along.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWaterproof bag:\n Unless you have someone taking care of your items when you go hiking or have any water activity, you\u2019ll need to bring your electronics and valuables with you. To keep them dry, store them in a waterproof bag and bring them along when you\u2019re out and about.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortable power supply:\n A power bank or portable generator is important especially if your campsite doesn\u2019t have electricity. With a power bank, you can charge your phone, lamp, speakers, and portable fan.\n\n\n\n\nTop Car Camping Spots in Malaysia\n\n\nThere are a lot of camping spots in Malaysia that are friendly to beginners and families with kids, which make these spots perfect for car camping. Here are some popular campsites you can check out for your next car camping trip.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nState\n\n\nCar Camping Spots\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPenang\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAra Peak Penang;\n\n\nPantai Monyet (Monkey Beach), Teluk Bahang;\n\n\nThe Hill Relaxing Camp, Balik Pulau.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerak\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSungai Bil Cool Spring, Tanjung Malim;\n\n\nPos Kuala Mu, Sungai Siput;\n\n\nGesau Riverfront, Slim River.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKelantan\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLalang\u2019s Chalet & Campsite and Lata Keding, Ayer Lanas.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPahang\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDangau Tahza Janda Baik;\n\n\nABC Camp, Janda Baik;\n\n\nLaman Tahza @ Janda Baik.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNegeri Sembilan\n\n\n\n\n\n\nH&N Campsite, Port Dickson;\n\n\nBliss Eco Garden, Lenggeng;\n\n\nBroga Leisure Homestay, Lenggeng;\n\n\nHutan Lipur Ulu Bendul, Tanjung Ipoh.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSelangor\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHammocks By The River, Hulu Langat;\n\n\nAman Dusun Orchard & Farm Retreat, Hulu Langat;\n\n\nHulu Langat Home Stay Eco Farm, Hulu Langat;\n\n\nUbiPadi Leisure, Hulu Langat;\n\n\nRefreshing Springs Resort, Kerling;\n\n\nThe Nest @MAEPS, Seri Kembangan;\n\n\nPusat Rekreasi Sungai Congkak, Hulu Langat;\n\n\nSungai Pelek Sepang Private Campsite.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSarawak\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPesang Begu Car Camping Picnic, Siburan;\n\n\nPermata Pugu Camping Site, Lundu;\n\n\nAndong Beach Campground, Kuching;\n\n\nKampung Pesang River Lodge, Siburan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSabah\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPogun Jo Campsite, Kota Kinabalu;\n\n\nSondot View Camp; Kota Belud;\n\n\nPolumping Melangkap View Camp; Kota Belud.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGo Anywhere with a Quality CARSOME Certified Car\n\n\nWe hope this list of car camping spots and essentials can help you better plan your next car camping trip.

It is called the Sungai Yu Eco Viaduct and is located in Section 3F1 of the CSR, between Kampung Kubang Rusa to Sungai Yu. There are three elevated stretches of road, also known as Eco Bridges in this Eco Viaduct system.\n\n\nAdvanced Pavement Technology\n\n\nThe roads in Package 3 also contain continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP). This type of pavement is more resistant to large cracks and can last up to 30 years with only minimal maintenance. The production of this pavement costs more than conventional pavements as it also needs to be produced by imported German machines. That said, its advantages outweigh the costs in the long term.\n\n\nBenefits of the Central Spine Road\n\n\n\n\nThe CSR Mempaga Roundabout connecting Mempaga, Bentong, Sertik, and Lebu\n\n\nThe CSR provides an important travel route for travelers from all over Peninsular Malaysia as it will shorten the travel time from the south including from Kuala Lumpur and Bentong to the north.\u00a0\n\n\nAdditionally, the Simpang Pelangai junction south of Bentong will be a vital exit, especially for travelers heading south. It will enable road users to travel to the south through Negeri Sembilan without entering Kuala Lumpur. This can greatly reduce the travel time besides easing the \ncongestion in the Klang Valley\n as well.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nTips on Maintaining Your Car\u2019s Windshield Wipers\n\n\nEasing Congestion in Local Towns\n\n\nBesides that, the CSR will also help free up roads in surrounding towns, especially in Bentong during the holiday season, as travelers usually need to drive through Bentong town to go up north.\u00a0\n\n\nFurther benefiting the community, the Bentong Bypass shortens the travel time for the local community by cutting the distance between Bentong and Kampung Mempaga from 30 kilometers to 12 kilometers, and travel time from 45 to only 20 minutes.\u00a0\n\n\nConnecting Local Tourist Destinations & Businesses\n\n\nOther than shortening the travel time for travelers on business and \u201cbalik kampung\u201d \nroad trips\n, the CSR helps to connect various important landmarks. This can help drive the local economy and boost tourism.

Malaysia\u2019s Petrol Subsidy Explained", "By\n \nDevan S", "24/03/2022", "\n\n\n\n\n", "Currently, oil prices are \nat a five-year high\n as a result of geopolitical tensions. This has translated into rising fuel prices at the pump around the world.\n\n\nIn case you\u2019re wondering, our neighbors in Thailand are indeed paying roughly RM6 for a liter of RON95 petrol, or \n47.36 baht per liter\n (at the time of writing).\n\n\nThat\u2019s because Thailand is not a major oil producer, and thus petrol prices closely follow market prices. On the other hand, Malaysia is a major oil producing and exporting country. So, it stands to follow that Malaysia\u2019s economy should do better when global oil prices are high, right?\n\n\n\n\nThe Fuel Subsidy Explained\n\n\nPetrol prices at Malaysian pumps are \namong the lowest in the world,\n thanks to a generous fuel subsidy scheme.\n\n\nThe government subsidizes RON95 petrol and diesel, while RON97 petrol is unsubsidized. The price of petrol at the pump is calculated using the Automatic Pricing Mechanism (APM), which is a managed float system that, in theory, \nshould change every week\n as it follows the market price of crude oil.\n\n\nTo give an idea of how much the government is subsidizing our fuel habit, let\u2019s take a look at the table below:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFuel\n\n\nPrice at the pump per liter (RM)\n\n\nMarket price per liter (RM est.)\n\n\nGovernment subsidy per liter (RM est.)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRON95\n\n\n2.05\n\n\n3.70\n\n\n1.65\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiesel\n\n\n2.15\n\n\n4.00\n\n\n1.85\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRON97\n\n\n4.00\n\n\n4.00\n\n\n0.00\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*Prices as cited by Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz \nin Parliament on 10 March 2022\n.\n\n\nRead More: \nHow to Calculate Petrol Price in Malaysia\n\n\nMalaysians Lose When Oil Prices are High?\n\n\nThere have been discussions about whether to change or end the fuel subsidy scheme.\n\n\nFirstly, the fuel subsidy in Malaysia is an untargeted subsidy scheme, meaning that everyone enjoys the subsidy regardless of whether they are rich or poor. Take a look at these two drivers:\n\n\n\n\nLisa drives a \nMercedes-Benz C200.\n Every time she goes to the petrol station, she fills 50 liters of RON95 at RM2.05 per liter. She does this four times a month as she commutes to work and goes to shopping malls. In a month, she pays RM410 at the pump, while the government pays RM330 in subsidy.\n\n\nJane drives a \nPerodua Axia.\n Every time she goes to the petrol station, she fills 20 liters of RON95 at RM2.05 per liter. She does this twice a month as she mainly uses public transport, plus she has a smaller car. In a month, she pays RM82 at the pump, while the government pays RM66 in subsidy.\n\n\n\n\nWith this, we can see that those who drive bigger cars enjoy more subsidies than those who drive less. \nA targeted subsidy was to be implemented\n on 1 January 2020 to curb this inefficiency, but it was shelved due to the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\n\nSecondly, the subsidy is costing Malaysia more money every time oil prices rise \u2013 money which can be put towards other, beneficial projects. According to a \nCGS-CIMB research report and The Star,\n it is estimated that for every US$1 (RM4.18) per barrel average increase in oil prices, it will cost the government around RM780 million in fuel subsidies (based on the price of RON95 petrol and diesel at RM2.05 and RM2.15 per liter respectively).\n\n\nFinance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz has also said that the subsidy cost in 2022 \nwill add up to RM28 billion\n if no intervention happens.\n\n\nWill the Fuel Subsidy End? What Can You Do About It?\n\n\nIt is expected that the current fuel subsidy system in place will not change, at least in the short term \u2013 this means we still get to enjoy prices that are lower than the actual market rate. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to much economic suffering, and the government will want to maintain the fuel subsidy to ease the burden on the \nrakyat\n.\n\n\nHowever, the subsidy is clearly unsustainable in the long run. Indonesia, another major oil producer, bit the bullet and \nreformed its fuel subsidy program in 2015.\n It has used the money saved on subsidies to focus on other forms of social protection and infrastructure development.\n\n\nFurthermore, as the world moves from fossil fuels to renewables, ending fuel subsidies will also encourage people to drive less or use more eco-friendly cars. Low fuel prices are something we can\u2019t enjoy forever, and we could end up paying RM5 or even RM6 for a liter of RON95 petrol in the near future, like our Thai neighbours do now.\n\n\nHaving said that, here are some tips you can do to save fuel and do your part.\n\n\nMaintain Your Car Regularly\n\n\nRegular maintenance helps a lot with saving fuel. A well-maintained engine works more efficiently and can get the most power out of a given amount of fuel. On the other hand, a poorly maintained engine will build up sludge and corrosion, making it difficult for the engine to work properly.\n\n\nRead More: \nHow to Take Care of Your Car & Why You Should\n\n\nCheck Your Tire Pressure\n\n\nUnderinflated tires will have more rolling resistance, leading to increased fuel consumption. A \nUnited States Department of Energy study\n showed that for every 1 pound per square inch (psi) drop in pressure, you can expect your mileage to lower by 0.4 percent. Underinflated tires can also lead to uneven tire wear and even pose a safety risk.\n\n\nRead More: \nWhat You Need to Know About Car Tires\n\n\nDrive Smoothly\n\n\nBy avoiding sudden acceleration and braking, you can improve your fuel efficiency. Hard movements are inefficient on the engine, not to mention dangerous for other road users. To improve your smoothness on the road, practice \ndefensive driving techniques that may also save your life.\n\n\nChoose an Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV)\n\n\nIn Malaysia, EEVs are \nvehicles that meet a set of specifications\n for carbon dioxide emissions (gCO2/km) and fuel consumption (L/100km). This standard includes conventional petrol/diesel vehicles, hybrids, as well as electric vehicles.\n\n\nCurrently, many popular models on the road are EEVs, including:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA 2020 Perodua Axia sold for RM32,400 on Carsome\n\n\nThe \nPerodua Axia\n is the king of fuel parsimony. With a 1.0-liter engine and a featherweight 860 kilogram body, Perodua claims fuel efficiency of 21.6 kilometers per liter (km/l). It\u2019s a popular choice for city commuters due to its small size and fuel frugality.\n\n\n\n\nA 2021 Proton Saga sold for RM37,900 on Carsome\n\n\nThe nation\u2019s favourite sedan, the \nProton Saga\n is a favored choice for those travelling long distances due to its boot space and stability at highway speeds. Its 1.3-liter engine, paired with a Hyundai-sourced four-speed automatic gearbox achieves a claimed fuel efficiency of 15 km/l.\n\n\n\n\nA 2019 Honda HR-V sold for RM97,400 on Carsome\n\n\nThe \nHonda HR-V\n is an example of a sports utility vehicle (SUV) that\u2019s also an EEV. Honda claims a fuel efficiency of 15.1 km/l, helped by features like cruise control, Econ mode, and a sleek aerodynamic design.\n\n\n\n\nFocus & Drive Safe with Carsome\n\n\nAt Carsome, we are committed to leaving the world a better place than we found it \u2013 and that includes saving the environment by helping you to save fuel. We carry a large range of EEVs to aid you in your petrol-saving journey.

The borders opened on 1 April 2022 and you can now travel from Malaysia to Singapore without testing for COVID or quarantining. The same also applies when you return to Malaysia.\u00a0\n\n\nSo if you\u2019ve been wanting to make a trip to Singapore, now is the time when you can finally do that. Here we\u2019ve outlined the things you should know before making your quarantine free travel to Singapore.\n\n\n\n\nHow Can I Travel via Land to Singapore?\n\n\nWith the reopening of the border, you can travel from Malaysia to Singapore by private transport, be it in a car or on a motorcycle. You can also use the designated vaccinated travel bus services (VTBS).\u00a0\n\n\nThe VTBS replaces the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) Bus Services and will continue to serve travelers while the Malaysian and Singaporean authorities are working to restore the cross-border public bus services. You can travel to Singapore without needing to take a COVID-19 test if you are:\n\n\n\n\nA fully vaccinated individual above the age of 12.\n\n\nA non-fully vaccinated child aged 12 and below.\n\n\n\n\nRead More:\n \nThings to Check After Your Road Trip\n\n\nChecklist for Your Land Travel from Malaysia to Singapore\n\n\nBefore going on your road trip to Singapore, there are several things that you need to prepare besides your passport. Here are the items you need for quarantine-free travel to Singapore.\n\n\n1. Prepare Your COVID-19 Vaccination Documentation\n\n\nFirstly, you need to be fully vaccinated and have proof of vaccination in the form of a Digitally Verifiable Vaccination Certificate (DVC), which, in this case, is the digital vaccination certificate on your MySejahtera app. Be mindful that being fully vaccinated includes a complete two-dose vaccination status.\n\n\nYou then need to verify your vaccination status on the \nVaccination Check Portal\n. Upon verification, you\u2019ll be issued a vaccination certificate acceptance letter which may be used if requested at the Singapore immigration or during airline, ferry, and bus boarding.\n\n\n2. Obtain a Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) Autopass Card\n\n\nIf you\u2019re driving from Malaysia to Singapore in a foreign-registered (ie. Malaysian) vehicle, you need to have a valid Autopass card and an approval email from the Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA).\u00a0\n\n\nThe Autopass Card serves as a Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) for both cars and motorcycles. It\u2019s used to pay the entry and exit fees in Singapore as well as to record your vehicle\u2019s entry into Singapore. You can only apply for the Autopass Card on the \nLTA\u2019s OneMotoring website\n by navigating to Digital Services, Apply for VEP / Autopass Card. Do note that the VEP approval email is only valid for 14 days. Also, make sure to have valid road tax and vehicle insurance.\n\n\n3. Fill In Your SG Arrival Card\n\n\nAll travelers to Singapore including from Malaysia needs to fill in the \nSG Arrival Card (SGAC)\n declaration online. The SGAC is a declaration of your travel and health details that needs to be filled up to three days prior to entering Singapore. You can submit your arrival information as an individual and as a group of up to 10 people, making it easy if you\u2019re traveling with your family or in a group of friends.\n\n\n4. Install the TraceTogether App\n\n\nThe \nTraceTogether\n app is a contact tracing mobile app similar to Malaysia\u2019s MySejahtera. It will help you check in to locations and make for a smoother quarantine-free trip in Singapore. You can install and set up the app following \nthis guide\n but do note that you only need to activate the app after clearing immigration. Children aged six or below are exempted from installing TraceTogether.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nDefensive Driving Tips That Could Save Your Life\n\n\n\n\nWe hope this article will help you better prepare for your trip to Singapore. While you sort out your documents, don\u2019t forget to check your car and service it, if necessary.

If you\u2019re excited to finally visit Thailand again, here\u2019s a handy Thailand travel guide with the requirements to enter the country.\n\n\n\n\nLatest Travel Guidelines for Traveling from Malaysia to Thailand\n\n\nMost countries around the world are already accepting travelers with minimal restrictions and that includes Thailand.\u00a0\n\n\nPrior to 1 October 2022, only vaccinated adults, unvaccinated adults with negative COVID-19 test results, vaccinated children traveling alone, and unvaccinated children traveling with vaccinated parents were allowed unrestricted entry into Thailand.\u00a0\n\n\nHowever, with Thailand now transitioning to the endemic phase, it has removed COVID-19-related restrictions for international travelers entering the country.\u00a0\n\n\nHere are the latest measures announced by the Thai Center of COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) that all international travelers should note:\n\n\n\n\nTravelers entering Thailand will \nno longer need to show their COVID-19 vaccination certificates or COVID-19 test results\n to enter.\n\n\nIf you are found to be\n COVID-19 positive with mild or no symptoms\n and are not part of the at-risk group, you will \nno longer need to self-isolate\n. However, you are strongly encouraged to follow distancing, mask-wearing, handwashing, and temperature-checking (DMHT) measures for five days.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you are in the high-risk group, and are COVID-19 positive, you\u2019ll need to self-monitor for 10 days and take a rapid antigen testing (ATK) on day five and day 10.\n\n\nYou\u2019re \nstill encouraged to wear masks in crowded areas\n, though it\u2019s no longer mandated. However, the public is still urged to follow the DMHT measures.\n\n\nTravelers from countries/territories that are entitled to visa exemption (like Malaysia), can now stay in Thailand for up to 45 days (increased from 30 days). This is effective from 1 October 2022 to 31 March 2023.\n\n\nTravelers who are eligible for a Visa on Arrival can stay in the country for up to 30 days (increased from 15 days).\n\n\n\n\nRead More:\n \nTravel Requirements to Singapore\n\n\nWhat are the Approved Vaccines?\n\n\nWhile Thailand no longer has restrictions for unvaccinated travelers, it\u2019s always good to be vaccinated for protection against the virus. Here\u2019s a list of the COVID-19 vaccines approved in Thailand. A good thing to note \u2013 all the vaccines administered in Malaysia are approved by Thailand\n.\n\n\n\n\nCoronaVac (Sinovac)\u00a0\n\n\nAstraZeneca (Vaxzevria, Covishield)\u00a0\n\n\nPfizer-BioNTech (Comirnaty, Tozinameran (INN))\n\n\nJanssen (Johnson & Johnson)\u00a0\n\n\nModerna (Spikevax)\u00a0\n\n\nCOVILO (Sinopharm, Hayat-Vax)\u00a0\n\n\nSputnik V\u00a0\n\n\nCovaxin\u00a0\n\n\nNovavax (Nuvaxovid) / Covovax\u00a0\n\n\nMedigen\n\n\nTURKOVAC / ERUCOV-VAC\n\n\nSputnik Light\u00a0\n\n\nCansinoBio (Ad5-nCov / Convidecia)\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThings to Prepare for Travel to Thailand\n\n\nBefore you travel from Malaysia to Thailand, it\u2019s important to prepare the necessary documents to be permitted entry. Here are all the documents you\u2019ll need to enter the country.\n\n\n\n\nPassport with six months remaining validity\n\n\nVisas for travelers from countries that are not included in Thailand\u2019s \nVisa Exemption List\n. Malaysia is on the list so you won\u2019t need a Visa when traveling to Thailand.\n\n\nBorder pass\n if you reside in Kedah, Perlis, Kelantan, or Hulu Perak District, and are crossing the land border into Thailand. If you have a border pass, you can enter Thailand without a passport but can only travel within Southern Thailand for three days.\n\n\nA valid Malaysian driver\u2019s license or an International Driving Permit if you plan to drive in Thailand. Also, if you bring your vehicle across the border, you need to declare your vehicle with the Customs authority upon entry and before leaving the country.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThailand On-Arrival Requirements\n\n\nThere are very minimal travel restrictions in Thailand but do expect to undergo a mandatory entry screening when you arrive which includes a body temperature check. You\u2019ll also need to present the required documents mentioned above to the Immigration / Health Control Officer during the check.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re unvaccinated and don\u2019t have a negative COVID-19 test result with you, or if your negative test result is older than 72 hours, the Health Control Officer at the point of arrival may require you to undergo a COVID-19 test. Any expenses incurred as a result will be your responsibility so make sure you have a recent negative test result on hand.\n\n\nOn 15 July 2022, the Thai government stated that it\u2019ll collect a \n300-baht (roughly RM37) tourism fee\n from all foreigners entering Thailand via air in the near future, though it\u2019s yet to be confirmed when. This fee will serve as insurance coverage of up to 500,000 baht per person for 30 days.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More:\n \nThings to Check Before & After Your Road Trip\n\n\n\n\nSafe Travels with a CARSOME Certified\n\n\nWe hope this article will help you prepare for your trip to Thailand.

It\u2019s been a really long wait ever since Proton teased its release this year\u2014and this Independence Day, Proton showed off its fleet of cars in a Merdeka greeting video.\u00a0\n\n\nThat aside, it\u2019s expected to be a more compact and affordable SUV that\u2019s based on the Geely Binyue (which is 1.5-litre turbocharged with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, and produces 177ps and 255Nm of torque).\n\n\nRumour also has it that it will be priced below RM100,000. Like the X70, the X50 could have premium features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, Autonomous Emergency Braking and Blind Spot Information System.\n\n\nPerodua D55L SUV\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPhoto credit: \nany5354\n\u00a0\n\n\nPerodua is also set to release the Perodua SUV D55L this year, this SUV is based on the Daihatsu Rocky, which has a new Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) and a 1.0-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder engine and a CVT-type automatic\u2014in other words, bigger and better.\n\n\nOther than that, it also features a 2525mm wheelbase and 369-litre luggage capacity. It is likely that the SUV will be sold with the familiar 1.5-litre powertrain seen in the current Perodua Myvi.\n\n\nProton Saga (Anniversary edition)\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPhoto credit: \ncarsifu\n\n\nProton revealed this Saga Anniversary version on the 35th birthday of the iconic Proton Saga. This 1.3-litre Premium AT variant is priced at RM39,300 and it comes in black with accents of yellow.

So, here are some local legends within the market that have stayed in our hearts.\u00a0\n\n\n5 Malaysian Cars That Are Never Forgotten\n\n\nThe Little Almighty: Perodua Kancil\n\n\nimage source: \nPaultan.org\n\n\nLet\u2019s start off the list with the car that literally taught many of us how to drive for the first time. Before the famous \nPerodua Myvi\n came into the picture, this little hatchback ruled the Malaysian roads ever since its introduction on August 29, 1994. Priced at just RM25,000 then, Perodua Kancil became Malaysia\u2019s most affordable car and enjoyed rapid success.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nBeing the first choice for most graduates and those looking for a car that wouldn\u2019t break the bank, Perodua Kancil became a sweet reminder of our driving school with the heavy unassisted steering wheel, the rough gear shift, and the oh-so-hard-to-understand clutch pedal that made it 100 times more difficult on the driving school slope.\n\n\nThis tiny hatchback is the perfect reminder of the phrase \u2013 \u201cnever forget your roots\u201d as it paved the way for all the other kei-cars that were introduced after that such as the Perodua Kembara, Perodua Kelisa, and Perodua Kenari. Today, even though the Kancil has been replaced by the Perodua Axia, it will forever hold a dear place in the hearts of many Malaysians.\u00a0\n\n\nThe Unforgettable First: Proton Saga\n\n\nimage source: PROTON\n\n\nProton Saga \u2013 the car that practically paved the way for the automotive industry in Malaysia. \nPROTON, the brainchild of former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, made Malaysia proud when it rolled out its very first car, the \nProton Saga\n on 9\n July 1985 which catapulted Malaysia into one of the very few countries with car-making capabilities.\u00a0\n\n\nThis \ntimeless Proton Saga\n \nthat has seen way more facelifts than any other car will always be the Malaysian car just because of the fact that it was the country\u2019s first car. The car embodies everything that a saga should be as the name of the car is also an abbreviation of the words \n\u2018\nsafety\u2019, \u2018achievement\u2019, \u2018greatness\u2019, and \u2018ability\u2019.\n\n\nEver since its introduction 36 years ago, this car has certainly come a long way. The number of improvements, enhancements, and refinements that have gone into the making of these Sagas has indeed worked out well. It indeed has powered through both the test of time and technology against other valuable competitors.\n\n\nThe Hero: Proton Wira\n\n\nimage source: \nDrivemag.com\n\n\nProton Wira was Proton\u2019s second-ever model after the Proton Saga but that didn\u2019t stop this model from quickly becoming a crowd favorite. Launched in 1993, this model took four years to develop and although it looked quite similar to the Mitsubishi Lancer, Proton gave a few exterior changes to localize its design.\n\n\nThe Proton Wira was the sedan must-have in the nineties as it represented the future for the automotive industry as seen in its technologically innovative features. Today, although this model is no longer manufactured, it is one of the most popular models among car thieves because of its spare parts such as the dashboard, instrument panel, control panels, cushions, speedometer, handbrake level, steering wheel, and other smaller items. As many of these parts are no longer in production, it is hard for people to buy the components in the market, especially in the brand\u2019s official centers.\n\n\nThe Compact Classic: Perodua Kelisa\n\n\n\n\nIt is a known fact that Malaysians unite when there are negative remarks against anything our country produces. This was especially evident when Jeremy Clarkson, one of the hosts from Top Gear criticized the Perodua Kelisa on national television, calling it a hell-like car for him in 2016. His comments united Malaysians from all over that even the Malaysian government made a statement about it.\n\n\nBut thanks to that, Perodua Kelisa also became a sensation in Malaysia even after it stopped production. This Kelisa, which was launched in 2001, was originally planned to be a replacement to the Perodua Kancil as this model was fitted to perform better than the Kancil. But just like any other middle child that is sandwiched between the first Malaysian affordable hatchback that is the Perodua Kancil and the must-have Malaysian car, Perodua Myvi, the Perodua Kelisa started losing its hold in our automotive industry.\n\n\nBut let\u2019s not forget how Proton Kelisa was also known as the Malaysian Mini due to its amazing packaging, the big interior space compared to its exterior dimension, and its reliability which drove the sales up a notch somewhere between 2006 and 2007.\n\n\nThe Local Luxe: Proton Waja\n\n\n\n\nIn the year 2000, after 15 years of dominating the Malaysian automotive market, PROTON released the Proton Waja. Looking at how all the previous PROTONmodels were manufactured based on Mitsubishi and Citroen lineups, our then prime minister challenged PROTONto to make something of their own design, and in August 2020, Malaysia\u2019s first homegrown car was launched which was the Proton Waja.\n\n\nThe Proton Waja appeared very contemporary and modern but despite it being an original Malaysian design, underneath the hood, it was still powered by a Mitsubishi engine. This car was greatly praised for its ride and handling, but just like any other model, the Waja came with some downsides such as how the weight of the car w affected the fuel economy or the power window failure.\n\n\nDespite that, while the Proton Waja was still in production between 2000 and 2012, it has sold over 292,000 units in Malaysia which makes this car a crowd favorite as well.\u00a0\n\n\nWith the advancement of technology and new automotive trends, PROTON and Perodua had no choice but to stop the production of most of these cars. But even though some of them are no longer manufactured, seeing these cars on the road will always bring back sweet nostalgic memories.\u00a0\n\n\nRead also\n: \nClassic Cars You Should Invest In for Their Appreciation Value\n\n\nFor any other used car services and news, do check Carsome out!

Anda cuba untuk menghidupkan enjin kereta berkali-kali namun ia tidak memberi kerjasama dan masih tidak mahu hidup. Semasa berdepan dengan situasi sebegini, ramai pemilik kenderaan beranggapan ia berlaku disebabkan oleh bateri kereta kong. Namun sebenarnya, situasi sebegini boleh berpunca daripada alternator rosak lebih-lebih lagi jika bateri kereta masih baru atau baru sahaja ditukar.\n\n\n\n\nApa itu alternator? Apa fungsi alternator kereta? Alternator merupakan penjana kuasa elektrik dalam kenderaan dan merupakan komponen utama dalam sistem pengecasan kenderaan. Secara amnya, alternator berfungsi menjana tenaga elektrik untuk digunakan oleh aksesori-aksesori kenderaan seperti lampu, \naircond\n kereta\n dan lain-lain lagi. Selain itu, alternator juga berfungsi memastikan pengecasan bateri berjalan lancar bagi membantu menghidupkan kenderaan.\n\n\n6 Tanda Alternator Kereta Rosak\n\n\nSecara amnya, kereta berinteraksi dengan pemilik dalam pelbagai cara. Lampu amaran pada \ndashboard\n kereta merupakan salah satu cara kereta berkomunikasi menandakan ada sesuatu yang tidak kena pada mana-mana komponen penting kereta. Selain lampu amaran, berikut merupakan antara tanda alternator rosak untuk panduan dan rujukan anda:\n\n\n1. Lampu Amaran Bateri Menyala\n\n\nKebanyakan kereta moden hari ini dilengkapi dengan pelbagai jenis \nlampu amaran\n pada \ndashboard\n kereta \u2013 lampu amaran ini akan menyala sekiranya sistem mengesan sebarang masalah atau isu tertentu yang sedang dihadapi. Dalam kes alternator rosak misalnya, lampu amaran bateri akan menyala sekiranya sistem mengesan masalah pada alternator. Lampu amaran bateri pada \ndashboard\n kereta biasanya berbentuk seperti bateri \u2013 ada sesetengah model kenderaan memaparkan abjad ALT (alternator) atau GEN (generator).\n\n\nRamai pemilik kenderaan beranggapan lampu amaran bateri menyala disebabkan oleh masalah berkaitan bateri semata-mata. Namun sebenarnya, ia boleh menyala disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor lain antaranya kabel bateri yang longgar atau kerosakan alternator. Lampu amaran ini dihubungkan dengan sistem komputer kenderaan untuk mengesan kapasiti keluaran voltan dari alternator. Secara teknikal, alternator menjalankan fungsi optimum pada kapasiti keluaran voltan tertentu \u2013 biasanya sekitar 13-14.5 voltan. Ia akan menyala sekiranya kapasiti voltan yang dihasilkan melebihi had voltan standard atau kurang daripada kapasiti voltan sepatutnya.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nJangan Teruskan Pemanduan Jika 3 Lampu Amaran Kereta Ini Menyala!\n\n\n2. Lampu Kereta Malap, Berkelip-kelip\n\n\nSelain lampu amaran, salah satu tanda alternator rosak ialah\n lampu kereta\n menjadi malap atau kurang cerah. Seperti sedia maklum, alternator berfungsi menghasilkan dan membekalkan sumber tenaga eletrik kepada kenderaan. Jika prestasi alternator merosot, ia memberi impak yang ketara terhadap kecerahan lampu kereta. Oleh sebab itu, jika anda mendapati cahaya lampu kereta menjadi lebih terang semasa memecut atau lebih malap semasa memperlahankan kelajuan, ia merupakan petanda serius kerosakan alternator. Alternator yang berfungsi dengan baik tidak akan menjejaskan kecerahan lampu kereta dalam keadaan standard.\n\n\nLampu yang berkelip-kelip juga menunjukkan masalah pada alternator kereta anda. Ia berlaku disebabkan oleh kapasiti voltan dalam alternator yang lemah, tidak sekata dan turun naik. Meskipun isu sebegini kelihatan seperti gangguan kecil, anda disarankan untuk bawa kereta ke bengkel untuk pemeriksaan lanjut. Lampu berkelip-kelip atau malap merupakan petunjuk penting alternator sedia ada tidak lagi mampu menjana kuasa elektrik yang mencukupi.\n\n\n3. Enjin Kereta Bunyi Kasar, Pelik\n\n\nSecara asasnya, kereta menghasilkan pelbagai jenis bunyi \u2013 sesetengah bunyi yang dihasilkan oleh enjin kereta adalah normal, manakala sesetengah bunyi yang lain menunjukkan masalah serius pada kereta anda. Alternator rosak atau tidak berada dalam keadaan baik akan menghasilkan bunyi menderam (\ngrowling\n) atau berkeriut (\ngrinding\n). Seperti sedia maklum, alternator merupakan komponen kompleks dengan beberapa bahagian yang berputar untuk menghasilkan arus elektrik. Jika salah satu bahagian ini haus atau rosak, ia akan menghasilkan bunyi-bunyi tertentu. Jika anda mendengar bunyi berkeriut misalnya, ia mungkin petanda anda perlu menggantikan alternator sedia ada. Bawa kereta anda ke bengkel untuk pemeriksaan lanjut. Bunyi berkeriut biasanya terhasil disebabkan oleh \ncrankshaft pulley\n atau tali sawat yang telah haus.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nKereta Bunyi Berdengung, Bersiul? Masalah Bunyi Kereta Biasa Berlaku yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\n4. Kereta Bau Getah Terbakar, Kereta Bau Hangit\n\n\nSelain mengesan kerosakan alternator melalui bunyi, anda juga boleh mengesan masalah alternator rosak melalui bau. Bau getah terbakar atau wayar yang terlalu panas merupakan antara dua situasi yang sering berlaku yang menandakan kerosakan alternator. Secara asasnya, alternator bekerja bersama-sama dengan sistem tali sawat yang kompleks \u2014 jika tali sawat tidak boleh berputar dengan bebas, bau seakan-akan getah terbakar atau hangit akan terhasil disebabkan oleh haba yang berlebihan. Malah, kedudukan tali sawat yang terletak berdekatan enjin dan terdedah kepada bebanan berterusan secara tidak langsung meningkatkan risiko haus dan menghasilkan bau getah terbakar yang tidak menyenangkan.\n\n\nSekiranya anda mengesan bau pelik seperti getah terbakar semasa enjin dihidupkan, ia mungkin menandakan alternator sedang \noverheat\n atau tidak berada dalam keadaan baik. \nPulley\n yang sudah rosak akan mengganggu kelancaran pergerakan tali sawat dan menyebabkannya menjadi semakin panas. Ia sekali gus menyebabkan kereta bau getah terbakar atau kereta bau hangit.\n\n\n5. Kereta Tak Boleh \nStart\n\n\nMasalah \nkereta tak boleh \nstart\n boleh berlaku disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor antaranya \nbateri kereta kong\n atau alternator kereta rosak. Sekiranya anda telah cuba menghidupkan enjin kereta berkali-kali namun ia masih tidak boleh dihidupkan meskipun anda baru sahaja menggantikan bateri atau bateri masih lagi berada dalam keadaan baik, besar kemungkinan kereta tak boleh \nstart\n berpunca daripada alternator kereta yang sudah rosak. Alternator rosak tidak dapat membekalkan arus elektrik yang mencukupi untuk membantu mengecas bateri kereta. Ia sekali gus menyebabkan kereta tak boleh \nstart\n disebabkan kekurangan kuasa.\n\n\nBateri Kong atau Alternator Rosak?\n\n\nSekiranya berdepan situasi kereta tak boleh start, kebanyakan pemilik kenderaan tidak pasti sama ada bateri kong atau alternator yang perlu digantikan. Jika anda berdepan situasi sebegini, hidupkan kereta anda. Jika enjin berjaya dihidupkan namun mati serta-merta selepas itu, ia menandakan kereta anda menghadapi masalah elektrik \u2014 alternator mungkin tidak membekalkan arus mencukupi untuk mengecas bateri. Namun sekiranya enjin kereta berjaya dihidupkan, tetapi kemudian tidak boleh dihidupkan semula menggunakan kuasanya sendiri, besar kemungkinan bateri kereta anda rosak dan perlu digantikan.\n\n\nAnda juga boleh mempertimbangkan voltmeter untuk mengetahui sama ada bateri kereta atau alternator yang bermasalah. Voltmeter merupakan alat yang digunakan untuk mengukur perbezaan elektrik antara dua titik pada litar. Ia juga merupakan cara terpantas untuk mengesan kerosakan alternator kereta.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nTanda Bateri Kereta Kong, Tip Penjagaan Bateri Kereta Anda Perlu Tahu\n\n\n6. Komponen Elektrik Tidak Berfungsi Seperti Biasa\n\n\nMemandangkan alternator merupakan sumber utama kuasa elektrik di dalam kereta, kegagalan komponen elektrik berfungsi seperti biasa merupakan antara petanda lain kerosakan alternator. Jika anda mendapati komponen elektrik kenderaan seperti \npower seats\n atau \npower windows\n tidak beroperasi seperti biasa atau beroperasi dengan lebih perlahan, besar kemungkinan ia disebabkan oleh alternator kereta. Komponen elektrik lain yang mungkin terjejas disebabkan oleh alternator antaranya \npower locks\n, \nwiper\n kereta\n dan \nheated seats\n. Tanpa sumber kuasa yang mencukupi, komponen elektrik ini biasanya tidak akan berfungsi seperti kebiasaan atau berhenti berfungsi secara tiba-tiba.\n\n\n\n\nPunca Alternator Rosak, Bermasalah\n\n\nJangka hayat alternator biasanya tidak menentu \u2013 ada alternator kereta tidak memberikan sebarang masalah kepada pemilik sepanjang hayat kereta. Namun secara umumnya, jangka hayat alternator biasanya bergantung pada bebanan alternator, \npulley\n serta tali sawat. Ada sesetengah alternator rosak selepas 50,000 km, manakala ada sesetengah alternator yang lain berfungsi seperti biasa sejauh 150,000 km tanpa sebarang masalah. Jika kereta anda sudah berusia, anda disarankan untuk memeriksa kapasiti voltan pengecasan \u2013 memadai sekitar 13.5 voltan dan beroperasi dengan lancar tanpa sebarang bunyi bising.\n\n\nCarsome menyenaraikan faktor-faktor lain yang boleh mempengaruhi kerosakan alternator kereta rosak dengan lebih cepat seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\nKebocoran cecair pada alternator biasanya boleh menjejaskan prestasi keseluruhan alternator kereta. Biasanya, \nminyak enjin kereta\n atau cecair stereng kuasa atau \npower steering\n\u00a0boleh masuk ke dalam alternator sekali gus menyebabkan kegagalan dan menjejaskan fungsinya.\n\n\nTabiat pemanduan juga berpotensi menjejaskan dan memendekkan jangka hayat alternator. Sebagai contoh, jika enjin dibiarkan melahu (\nidling\n) dan dalam masa yang sama pelbagai aksesori kereta seperti radio digunakan, ia boleh meningkatkan bebanan alternator sekali gus meningkatkan risiko haus dan lusuh dengan lebih cepat.\n\n\nKereta moden yang dilengkapi dengan pelbagai \naksesori kereta\n seperti unit GPS, \nheated seats\n, \npower windows\n dan lain-lain terdedah kepada risiko alternator rosak yang lebih tinggi. Kesemua item elektrik ini perlu dikuasakan oleh alternator sekali gus meningkatkan bebanan yang perlu ditanggung.\n\n\nAlternator kereta terletak di bahagian bawah enjin \u2013 lokasi ini terdedah kepada risiko kerosakan disebabkan oleh air dan garam. Kedua-dua elemen ini boleh masuk ke dalam alternator dan menyebabkan kerosakan alternator.\n\n\n\n\nHarga Alternator Kereta\n\n\nDari segi harga, kos penggantian dan pembaikan adalah berbeza bergantung pada tahun, model dan konfigurasi enjin kereta anda.

But our roads have their own reputation, specifically within the capital city of Kuala Lumpur with its never-ending, bumper-to-bumper traffic congestion.\u00a0\n\n\nFor those who grew up in Malaysia, we have all definitely come across different driving habits which can take a dangerous turn.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nHere Are 8 Unique Malaysian Driving Habits\n\n\n1. The Power of the Hand\n\n\nBefore getting our driver\u2019s license, we are taught to signal manually with our hands when the car\u2019s indicator lights malfunction. These signals are used to indicate if we are turning left, right, or when changing lanes. But in Malaysia, our hands are also used when we show kindness to another driver, pedestrian, or motorist. Some common situations when we would use our hands are:\n\n\n\n\nWhen another driver slows down to give way to your car or when you allow another car to cut into your lane, you or the other driver would carry up their hand as a thank you sign.\n\n\nWhen a pedestrian wants to cross a busy road, they would carry up their hand to signal oncoming cars to slow down or stop.\n\n\n\n\n2. Any Spot is a Parking Spot\n\n\n\n\nAny sidewalk in Malaysia, especially nearby banks or shop lots, is a parking spot. Double parking is also a common sight in Malaysia, however, it is advised to put your name and number on your windshield so other drivers can contact you to move your car when required.\n\n\n3. Busybody Drivers\n\n\nIf something unusual is happening on the road, there would definitely be a traffic jam because Malaysian drivers tend to slow down to view the commotion.\u00a0 Some even stop the car to take pictures and record videos to be uploaded on social media without realizing the domino effect that we\u2019ve caused. If the accident wasn\u2019t enough to cause traffic, nosy drivers definitely made it worse by slowing down to take a peek. Hence, if you are not stopping to help, please continue driving to avoid contributing to the traffic congestion.\n\n\n4. Emergency Lane Abusers\n\n\nThere is a reason why emergency lanes are created \u2013 for emergencies. Things like rushing home to watch the upcoming football match or when you are late to a client meeting are definitely not an emergency.\u00a0 The emergency lane should only be used for cars that have broken down and for official authorities like the police, Fire and Rescue Department, and ambulance to move swiftly on highways.\u00a0 You never know whose life you are putting at risk by blocking the emergency lane from vehicles with real emergencies.\n\n\n5. Signal Lights & Hazard Light Abusers\n\n\nWe have come across drivers who neglect to use their indicator lights which can be frustrating. Although you may forget to turn on your indicator lights, or what is commonly known as \u201csignal lights\u201d, making it a habit when turning or changing lanes can avoid dangerous car collisions. Practicing safe driving by following the road rules, such as using your car\u2019s indicators, is important as it serves as communication between you and other drivers. Other drivers are not mind readers to know when and where you would make your next turn, so you let them know with the signal lights. Additionally, hazard lights act as a warning to other drivers that you are in the midst of an emergency situation. For example, you can turn it on in the event your car has broken down in the middle of the road or as you pull over on the road shoulder.\n\n\n6. Impatient Drivers\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nYour patience is often tested when you come across an impatient driver \u2013 most of us would have probably encountered being tailgated or more commonly known as \u201ccucuk\u2019 in Malaysia by a rushing driver or drivers who honk the second the traffic light turns green. Although we may be rushing, it is best to be mindful of other drivers on the road. Practicing a little kindness and patience on the road can go a long way. Not only will you avoid fights, but you can also avoid accidents from happening.\n\n\n\u00a0Remember, the best practice is to distance your car at least two to four seconds from the car in front of you to avoid any form of collision.\n\n\n7. Roadblock Announcers\n\n\nThere are many reasons for the use of headlights and the official use of them is to improve visibility. Headlights are switched on when it\u2019s getting dark outside, usually from sunset to sunrise or during bad weather conditions such as during a heavy downpour or when passing through a foggy area. But in Malaysia, headlights are also used for a very special reason- no notify drivers on the opposite side of the road of an upcoming or \nroadblock \nor \nspeed trap. \n\n\nHowever, you should never be flashing your headlights to warn other road users of a speed trap ahead as this is actually illegal and you may get into trouble if you are caught doing so!\n\n\n8. Steering Wheel Lock Is Also for Protection\n\n\nA steering wheel lock is a heavy metal rod that stops your steering wheel from moving. This tool is an added protection for your car from theft. While there are many different types of steering wheel locks out there like the enclosed lock, and the wheel-to-pedal-lock, the most common one that can be seen in Malaysian cars is the traditional lock that looks like a baseball bat with hooks at the end. Many Malaysians, especially young, single drivers also use this metal tool as a form of self-defense. It can be used to scare away creeps or perverts from coming and harming you or your car. There are also cases where steering locks were used to make a point during a \nroad rage\n \nagainst other drivers.\n\n\nDriving Habits: Drive Safely & Courteously For a Better Future\n\n\nRemember to practice safe driving and be mindful of other drivers.\u00a0 While we may be guilty of having several of these driving habits, practicing politeness, courteousness, and patience on the road while we drive bring us one step closer to road safety.\n\n\nAlso Read\n: \nHow to Stay Safe When Driving in The Rain\n\n\nFor any other used car services and news, do check Carsome out!

Mengambil masa anda untuk mempertimbangkan pilihan model, harga, dan lain-lain adalah keputusan yang bijak sebelum membelanjakan wang hasil titik peluh anda.\n\n\n\n\nTetapi, ada juga masa yang tertentu di mana anda boleh dapatkan tawaran terbaik semasa membeli kereta. Jadi, jika anda sedang memikirkan untuk membeli sesebuah model kereta dan masa yang diperkatakan sudah menjelang tiba, apa salahnya jika anda teruskan dengan keputusan tersebut kan?\n\n\nPada Hujung Bulan\n\n\nSeperti kebanyakan perniagaan, pengedar kereta dan eksekutif jualan mempunyai sasaran jualan bulanan yang perlu dicapai. Apabila hujung bulan semakin hampir, mereka mungkin akan menawarkan pelbagai promosi kepada anda, terutamanya jika sasaran jualan mereka masih belum dicapai.\n\n\nTawaran yang diberikan mungkin datang dalam bentuk diskaun atau hadiah percuma seperti servis percuma atau baucar petrol. Taktik yang anda boleh gunakan untuk dapatkan promosi ini adalah dengan memandu uji kereta yang anda minati pada awal bulan, ambil sedikit masa untuk pertimbangkan pembelian anda dan kemudian datang semula pada hujung bulan untuk membelinya.\n\n\nPada Hujung Tahun\n\n\nSama seperti sasaran jualan akhir bulan, pengedar kereta juga mempunyai sasaran jualan akhir tahun untuk dicapai. Bonus akhir tahun merupakan insentif yang sangat lumayan bagi pengedar sehingga mereka sanggup menawarkan diskaun yang melampau untuk menarik pembeli.\n\n\nTambahan pula, anda mungkin boleh menerima tawaran hebat bagi kereta model lama kerana ia perlu dijual segera untuk memberi ruang kepada model yang lebih baharu. Jika anda agak fleksibel mengenai warna dan kemasan yang ditawarkan, anda boleh dapatkan tawaran yang sangat baik bagi model yang lama, terutama sekali jika ia akan diganti dengan model baharu tak lama lagi.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nPromosi Bulanan Carsome\n\n\nSemasa Musim Perayaan\n\n\nPengedar dan jenama kereta selalunya akan menjalankan promosi istimewa apabila musim perayaan kian hampir. Antara sambutan perayaan yang dipenuhi dengan promosi dari pengedar kereta termasuklah Hari Raya, Tahun Baharu Cina, dan juga Hari Kemerdekaan.\n\n\nJualan musim perayaan ini akan menawarkan diskaun untuk menarik perhatian pembeli, dan ia sememangnya berbaloi terutama sekali jika anda berminat untuk membeli kereta. Kalau boleh, adalah lebih baik jika anda bertahan sehingga ke akhir tahun untuk menikmati tawaran yang lebih menarik.\n\n\nJika Anda Memerlukan Kereta, Buat Perancangan Terlebih Dahulu\n\n\nMasa yang terbaik untuk membeli kereta adalah apabila anda yakin dan pasti yang anda memerlukan kereta baharu. Sebagai contoh, jika kereta yang anda sedia ada sudah uzur, masanya sudah tiba untuk anda menukarnya. Atau jika bilangan ahli keluarga anda semakin bertambah, dan kereta \nhatchback \nanda kini terlalu sempit untuk memuatkan tiga anak dan juga pasangan anda.\n\n\n\n\nApabila anda cuba untuk dapatkan kereta baharu dengan tergesa-gesa, anda membiarkan diri anda terdedah kepada tekanan mental. Anda mungkin tidak dapat berfikir dengan jelas dan memanfaatkan tawaran yang ada kerana anda terlalu mahukan sebuah kereta.\n\n\nDitambah pula dengan keadaan terkini pasaran kereta baharu, di mana pengeluaran berkurangan disebabkan pandemik dan masalah bekalan semikonduktor bermaksud pelanggan akan menghadapi masalah seperti masa menunggu yang lama untuk mendapatkan kereta, kenaikan harga kereta, atau kedua-duanya sekali.\n\n\nKeadaan ini dijangka akan berlarutan selama beberapa bulan lagi sementara rantaian bekalan mula kembali ke normal. Ini adalah salah satu sebab mengapa membeli kereta terpakai adalah alternatif yang bijak \u2013 kereta sudah tersedia untuk anda dan ia juga jauh lebih berpatutan berbanding dengan kereta baharu.\n\n\nJika anda memulakan proses pembelian lebih awal, anda boleh pilih model yang anda mahukan, tetapkan bajet, dan dapatkan pembiayaan jika perlu.

Namun begitu, terdapat banyak faktor lain yang perlu dipertimbangkan mengikut situasi dan keadaan semasa. Kebanyakan pakar berpendapat usia kereta lima (5) tahun merupakan masa yang sesuai dan terbaik untuk menjual kereta lama anda. Ini kerana, kebanyakan kereta yang berusia kurang daripada lima (5) tahun biasanya jarang bermasalah atau mengalami kerosakan-kerosakan besar.\n\n\nPandemik Covid-19 yang melanda dunia hari ini juga sedikit sebanyak mengubah pola kehidupan dunia. Trend permintaan terhadap kereta terpakai juga dilihat semakin meningkat. Ini kerana, rata-rata pembeli mencari alternatif lain yang lebih selamat untuk mengelakkan penggunaan pengangkutan awam yang sesak terutamanya semasa pandemik. Permintaan terhadap kereta terpakai yang tinggi ini secara tidak langsung meningkatkan nilai jualan semula kereta berbanding sebelum ini lebih-lebih lagi jika kereta lama masih berada dalam keadaan baik.\n\n\n\n\nTukar Kereta Lama Selepas 5 Tahun?\n\n\nMasa yang ideal dan terbaik untuk jual kereta lama anda semestinya bergantung pada pertimbangan peribadi dan faktor ekonomi semasa anda. Namun begitu, Carsome menyenaraikan beberapa perkara berikut yang boleh membantu anda membuat keputusan.\n\n\n1. Susut Nilai Kereta\n\n\nSusut nilai merupakan kaedah perakaunan yang merujuk kepada pengurangan nilai aset dari semasa ke semasa bergantung pada faktor fizikal, penggunaan dan sebagainya. Secara amnya, kereta baharu mengalami susut nilai sebanyak 20 peratus pada tahun pertama. Ia diikuti dengan 15 peratus pada tahun kedua dan 10 peratus pada tahun berikutnya. Kereta yang berusia kurang daripada lima tahun biasanya mengalami anggaran susut nilai antara 40 hingga 50 peratus bergantung pada keadaan semasa kereta.\n\n\nSusut nilai merupakan salah satu perkara yang perlu dipertimbangkan sebelum, semasa dan selepas anda memiliki kereta. \nKadar susut nilai kereta\n biasanya dipengaruhi oleh faktor penjagaan merangkumi aspek penyelenggaran enjin, bahagian luaran, dalaman dan lain-lain. Kereta berusia lima (5) tahun dan ke bawah biasanya mempunyai kadar susut nilai yang lebih rendah berbanding kereta yang berusia lima (5) tahun dan ke atas.\n\n\nContoh Pengiraan Susut Nilai Perodua Myvi\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHarga Kereta Baharu: RM58,500\n\n\nKadar Susut Nilai: 49 peratus\n\n\nJumlah Susut Nilai: RM28,665\n\n\nHarga Perodua Myvi (5 Tahun): RM29,835\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSecara purata, anggaran kadar susut nilai bagi kereta yang berusia lima (5) tahun dan ke atas biasanya melebihi 50 peratus. \nMileage \natau kadar perbatuan merupakan salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi kadar susut nilai. Semakin tinggi kadar perbatuan kereta anda, semakin rendah nilai semasa kereta anda. Pembeli kereta terpakai berpendapat kadar perbatuan yang tinggi boleh meningkatkan risiko kerosakan pada bahagian struktur, mekanikal atau komponen kereta. Ia sekali gus boleh meningkatkan kos pembaikan tambahan yang perlu ditanggung oleh bakal pemilik baharu.\n\n\n\n\n2. Waranti Kereta\n\n\nSetiap kereta baharu biasanya hadir dengan jaminan waranti yang dikeluarkan oleh syarikat pengeluar kenderaan. Kebanyakan kereta yang dijual di pasaran pada hari ini dilengkapi dengan jaminan waranti selama lima (5) tahun. Jaminan ini merangkumi perlindungan teknikal, elektrikal dan mekanikal yang bertujuan untuk melindungi hak pengguna sekiranya berlaku sebarang kerosakan semasa pembuatan. Jaminan waranti ini secara tidak langsung dapat menjimatkan wang pembeli sekiranya berlaku sebarang kerosakan dalam tempoh jaminan waranti.\n\n\nNamun begitu, anda perlu mematuhi spesifikasi atau syarat yang ditetapkan sepanjang tempoh waranti untuk memudahkan urusan tuntutan sekiranya berlaku sebarang kerosakan dan mengelakkan waranti daripada terbatal. Kereta yang berusia lima (5) tahun dan ke atas pula biasanya tidak lagi dilindungi oleh jaminan waranti. Oleh itu, anda mungkin perlu mengeluarkan belanja yang lebih besar sekiranya berlaku sebarang kerosakan pada mana-mana komponen penting kereta. Kos penggantian atau penukaran komponen kereta biasanya lebih mahal untuk pembaikan kereta yang lebih berusia.\u00a0Meskipun terdapat sesetengah pengeluar yang menawarkan skim lanjutan waranti, ia semestinya melibatkan penambahan kos yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\n3. Kos Pembaikan\n\n\nKebiasaannya, kebanyakan pemilik kereta mengambil keputusan untuk menjual kereta sebagai jalan terakhir setelah kereta yang dimiliki mengalami kerosakan atau kegagalan teknikal. Kereta yang berusia kurang daripada lima (5) tahun (atau kira-kira 60,000 km hingga 80,000 km) biasanya tidak mengalami sebarang kerosakan komponen dan sistem yang serius. Ia sekali gus dapat menjimatkan wang anda daripada mengeluarkan belanja yang besar untuk melakukan \nmajor service\n terhadap kereta anda. Oleh itu, ia merupakan tempoh masa yang sesuai dan terbaik untuk jual kereta lama anda.\n\n\nFikirkan dari perspektif pembeli \u2013 sebilangan besar pembeli tidak mahu membeli kereta terpakai yang memerlukan kos pembaikan tambahan atau kos penyelenggaraan yang membebankan. Sudah semestinya kebanyakan pembeli kereta terpakai beranggapan adalah lebih baik untuk beli kereta baharu jika kereta terpakai yang dibeli memerlukan perbelanjaan untuk pembaikan yang lebih besar. Jika tiada kerosakan serius pada komponen kereta,\n penyelenggaraan kereta\n dilakukan secara berjadual dan konsisten dan sistem berfungsi dalam keadaan baik, besar kemungkinan anda dapat menjual kereta lama anda dengan lebih cepat dan mudah dengan tawaran harga yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\nNamun begitu, jika anda perlu mengeluarkan belanja yang lebih besar setiap bulan dan meluangkan lebih banyak masa di bengkel kereta \u2013 ini mungkin masa yang sesuai dan terbaik untuk jual kereta lama anda. Kereta yang lebih berusia biasanya memerlukan belanja yang lebih mahal terutamanya untuk membaiki komponen-komponen utama yang telah rosak seperti enjin, penggantian \ntiming belt\n, tayar, pad brek dan sebagainya. Ada sesetengah pengguna yang cenderung untuk tidak menjual kereta lama kerana berpendapat kereta lama tidak memerlukan kos \npembaharuan cukai jalan\n yang tinggi. Meskipun begitu, perlu diingat, dalam sesetengah keadaan kereta lama boleh menjadi beban kewangan dan menjejaskan keselamatan jika terlalu kerap rosak.\n\n\n\n\n4. Kos Bahan Bakar/Petrol\n\n\nKereta moden biasanya dilengkapi dengan teknologi cekap bahan api dan tenaga. Ia sekali gus mengurangkan kadar pelepasan pengeluaran dan menyumbang kos operasi bahan api yang lebih rendah. Perodua merupakan antara pengeluar \nkenderaan cekap tenaga (EEV)\n nombor satu di Malaysia. Jenama ini telah berjaya mengeluarkan lebih 500,000 unit kenderaan cekap tenaga dan bahan api setakat hari ini. Untuk diiktiraf sebagai EEV, sesebuah kenderaan perlu mencapai kecekapan bahan api yang diuji mengikut piawaian UNECE R101 berdasarkan beratnya tanpa muatan.\n\n\nModel-model keluaran Perodua seperti Axia, Bezza dan Myvi baharu mampu mencapai kecekapan bahan api melebihi 20 kilometer seliter. Berdasarkan prestasi atas kertas, Myvi baharu misalnya, mencatatkan ekonomi bahan api sebanyak 20.1 km bagi setiap liter (\nPerodua Myvi baharu varian 1.5L\n). Dengan mengambil kira purata 1,000 km setiap bulan dan kelajuan standard, berikut merupakan anggaran kos perbelanjaan petrol selama lima tahun.\n\n\nKos Penggunaan Petrol Bagi Tempoh Lima (5) Tahun\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHarga Petrol: RM2.05/liter* (\nHarga Minyak Petrol RON95\n)\n\n\nJumlah Perbatuan: 1,000km x 12 bulan x 5 Tahun = 60,000km\n\n\nJumlah Perbelanjaan Penggunaan Petrol: RM6119.25\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*Pengiraan dibuat berdasarkan harga petrol semasa, dan kos ini mungkin bertambah atau berkurang bergantung pada penggunaan sebenar dan perubahan harga minyak\n\n\nNamun begitu, kos ini mungkin meningkat bagi kereta yang berusia lima (5) tahun dan ke atas. Ini kerana, prestasi kecekapan tenaga dan bahan api semestinya selari dengan usia kereta dan tidak sehebat seperti lima tahun pertama. Komponen-komponen tertentu kereta seperti rim dan tayar mungkin perlu digantikan dan diselenggara untuk memastikan kecekapan yang berterusan. Mengikut kajian, saiz tayar dan rim yang tidak sesuai atau berat boleh menyebabkan penambahan penggunaan minyak sehingga 10 peratus\n\n\n5. Naik Taraf Teknologi Lebih Canggih\n\n\nKebanyakan pengeluar kereta hari ini bukan sahaja menekankan aspek prestasi semata-mata, tetapi turut menekankan aspek teknologi dan keselamatan yang memudahkan pemanduan. Kereta baharu biasanya dilengkapi dengan sistem dan teknologi bantuan pemanduan yang canggih untuk keselesaan dan keselamatan sepanjang pemanduan. Teknologi seperti sistem kemasukan tanpa kunci (\nkeyless system\n), \nkawalan pemanduan adaptif (ACC), \nkawalan titik buta, beg udara, amaran praperlanggaran merupakan antara teknologi yang diterapkan dalam kereta moden hari ini.\n\n\nDalam tidak sedar, teknologi kereta hari ini menjadikan pemanduan di jalan raya menjadi lebih selamat selain membantu mengelakkan kemalangan dan mengurangkan risiko kecederaan semasa perlanggaran. Justeru itu, anda mungkin boleh mempertimbangkan untuk menjual kereta lama anda untuk naik taraf teknologi yang lebih baik. Kereta lama anda mungkin tidak dilengkapi atau kekurangan aspek keselamatan terkini seperti dinyatakan yang boleh menjadikan pemanduan anda lebih selamat.\n\n\nTeknologi tambahan ini bukan sahaja memberikan kelegaan semasa memandu, malah boleh bertindak sebagai \u2018mata\u2019 ketiga sekali gus mengurangkan risiko kemalangan dan kecelakaan. Ada sesetengah pemilik kereta lama berpendapat teknologi-teknologi sebegini boleh dipasang secara berasingan di kedai-kedai aksesori. Namun begitu, pemasangan aksesori ini adakalanya boleh menelan kos yang lebih tinggi. Malah, penggunaan pelbagai aksesori tambahan terutamanya yang tidak mengikut spesifikasi yang sesuai dan selamat boleh menyebabkan risiko kecederaan atau kematian.\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, boleh pertimbangkan untuk\n\u00a0\nmembeli kereta terpakai\n\u00a0atau\u00a0\nmenjual kereta lama\n\u00a0\nanda di Carsome.

Bayangkan, anda nak cepat beredar setelah selesai urusan tapi tiba-tiba ada kereta yang halang laluan kereta anda. Memburukkan lagi keadaan, nombor telefon pemilik langsung tak dipamerkan di cermin hadapan. Arrghh, stres!\n\n\nParkir berganda ini boleh terjadi di macam-macam tempat, termasuklah di kawasan perumahan. Di kawasan kampung pun boleh terjadi masalah macam ini!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: NST\n\n\nParkir berganda ini sudah menjadi masalah besar negara. Biasanya disebabkan oleh segelintir yang malas nak parkir jauh sedikit daripada tempat tujuan, maka mereka terus parkir di hadapan parkir sedia ada, menghalang kereta yang diparkir di tempat yang sepatutnya.\u00a0\n\n\nAkibatnya? Macam-macam. Jalan sesak akibat laluan sempit dan pemandu yang naik gila kerana tak boleh keluar. Sampai yang bergaduh dan bertumbuk pun banyak kali terjadi. Cuma antara tular atau tidak saja di media sosial.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nTakut Kena Buli? Ini Cara Untuk Berdepan Dengan Pembuli Jalan Raya\n\n\nDouble Parking Itu Haram\u00a0\n\n\nYa, menurut undang-undang Malaysia, parkir berganda ialah salah di sisi undang-undang. Ini termaktub dalam Akta Pengangkutan Jalan Raya (APJ) 1987. Lebih tepat? \nSeksyen 48(1) yang menyatakan bahawa:\u00a0\n\n\n\u201cJika mana-mana pemandu sesuatu kenderaan motor menyebabkan atau membenarkan kenderaan motor itu dihentikan di mana-mana jalan dalam apa-apa kedudukan atau apa-apa keadaan atau apa-apa hal keadaan yang mungkin menyebabkan bahaya, galangan atau kesusahan tidak berpatutan kepada pengguna jalan yang lain atau kepada lalu lintas, dia melakukan suatu kesalahan dan apabila disabitkan boleh didenda tidak kurang daripada satu ribu ringgit dan tidak lebih daripada lima ribu ringgit atau dipenjarakan selama tempoh tidak kurang daripada satu tahun atau kedua-duanya.\u201d\n\n\nSenang cerita, bukan hanya \ndouble parking\n, tetapi kalau anda parkir kenderaan anda dalam keadaan yang boleh membahayakan lalu lintas sekali pun, anda boleh didenda tak lebih RM5,000 atau penjara setahun atau kedua-duanya sekali.\u00a0\n\n\nAda video tular pengguna yang terperangkap bersama anak kecil kerana kereta mereka disekat akibat parkir berganda. Mereka terpaksa menunggu lama sebelum pemilik kenderaan tiba dan mengalihkan kereta yang diparkir. Bayangkan penantian yang mereka tempuhi hanya disebabkan oleh orang lain yang mementingkan diri sendiri.\n\n\n\n\nHanya kerana ingin mudah dan cepat, orang lain yang terpaksa menanggung derita.\u00a0\n\n\nJangan Panggil Polis Biasa Untuk \nSettlekan\n!\u00a0\n\n\nKereta anda langsung tak boleh nak gerak dah. Pemilik kereta yang halang anda pun langsung tak nampak bayangnya. Lagi teruk, nombor telefon tak dipamerkan. Anda pula ada urusan penting lain selepas ini. Jadi apa anda boleh buat?\u00a0\n\n\nSebenarnya, masalah ini ada penyelesaiannya. Dan tak, pecahkan tingkap kereta orang bukan salah satu daripada pilihan yang ada!\u00a0\n\n\nAda dua pihak yang anda boleh hubungi untuk selesaikan masalah \ndouble parking \nini\n\n\n1. Polis Trafik\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda kena hadap masalah ini, anda sepatutnya buat laporan terus ke balai polis trafik berdekatan. Atau hubungi terus balai polis trafik yang berdekatan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: Harian Metro\n\n\nApabila berkaitan dengan isu kesalahan jalan raya, jika anda buat laporan kepada polis biasa, ia tetap akan dipanjangkan kepada polis trafik juga. Ingat ya, balai polis cawangan trafik dan bukannya balai polis biasa.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nBezanya antara polis biasa dengan polis trafik ialah, polis biasa menguatkuasakan undang-undang awam manakala polis trafik pula menguatkuasakan undang-undang jalan raya.\u00a0\n\n\nDisebabkan kes double parking ini melibatkan kereta dan jalan raya, maka polis trafiklah yang sepatutnya anda hubungi apabila terjadinya kes-kes sebegini. Anda boleh Google untuk mencari nombor telefon balai polis trafik terdekat. Jangan pula anda hubungi talian 999 melainkan ada kecemasan (yang melibatkan nyawa) di situ.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan/Majlis Perbandaran\u00a0\n\n\nPihak kedua yang boleh anda hubungi untuk masalah parkir berganda ini ialah pihak berkuasa tempatan atau majlis perbandaran di tempat anda berada. Jangan pula anda tersangkut di Hulu Langat tapi anda hubungi Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL).\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nHubungi terus bahagian penguatkuasaan trafik dan nyatakan bahawa ada kereta yang telah menghalang laluan anda dan anda ada perkara mustahak untuk diselesaikan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: DBKL\n\n\nSetelah aduan dibuat, pihak majlis perbandaran akan terus ambil tindakan. Ia mungkin akan mengambil masa sedikit tapi sekurang-kurangnya tindakan akan diambil kepada si pesalah. Pemilik kereta tadi? Mungkin akan \ndikompaun\n dan terpaksa membayar lagi untuk mengeluarkan keretanya.\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, tak perlu nak pecahkan apa-apa pun untuk selesaikan masalah ini. Cukup hubungi pihak berkuasa yang berkaitan untuk selesaikan. Negara kita ada undang-undang. Jadi, gunakan hak anda sebagai warga Malaysia untuk melaporkan sebarang kesalahan yang terjadi lebih-lebih lagi jika anda sendiri merupakan mangsa.\u00a0\n\n\nJangan Langgar Atau Pecahkan Kereta Orang!\u00a0\n\n\nIngat! Walau betapa sakit hati atau marah pun ada kalau ada kereta lain halang laluan anda, jangan terus ikutkan rasa marah nak pecahkan cermin tingkap kereta tersebut. Jangan sesekali! Kerana dah terang-terangan ia salah di sisi undang-undang.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: Kosmo\n\n\nBukan saja salah, anda terpaksa menanggung kos ganti rugi mengikut kerosakan yang anda dah buat. Jangan sesekali bertindak di luar kawalan. Dah banyak kes tular kereta dirosakkan hanya kerana ia menghalang laluan kereta lain.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nJangan Sampai Dilanggar Atau Melanggar Sebab Titik Buta!\n\n\nHubungi pihak berkuasa jika anda menjadi mangsa dalam situasi seperti ini.

Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk memerhatikan atau mendengar dengan teliti sama ada terdapat sebarang tanda-tanda kerosakan atau bunyi yang pelik kedengaran sebelum menghidupkan sistem radio atau semasa memandu kereta anda. Biasanya, kereta akan menghasilkan bunyi berdengung, bunyi bersiul dan bunyi-bunyi lain sekiranya terdapat sebarang masalah pada komponen tertentu kereta yang boleh menjejaskan fungsi dan prestasinya.\n\n\n\n\n8 Masalah Bunyi Kereta yang Biasa Berlaku dan Tanda Kerosakan Kereta\n\n\nPengetahuan mengenai masalah bunyi yang biasa dihasilkan oleh kereta anda seperti bunyi nyaring, berdengung dan sebagainya sedikit sebanyak dapat membantu anda mengenal pasti masalah dan cara yang boleh anda lakukan untuk mengatasinya. Ia secara tidak langsung dapat membantu mengelakkan anda daripada menanggung kos pembaikan yang lebih tinggi sekiranya dibiarkan. Berikut merupakan antara masalah bunyi kereta yang biasa berlaku dan cara yang boleh anda lakukan untuk mengatasi masalah ini.\n\n\n1. Bunyi Nyaring daripada Bahagian Bonet Kereta\n\n\nBunyi nyaring atau \nscreeching sound\n ini biasanya berlaku berpunca daripada\n timing belt\n kereta yang telah longgar atau haus. \nTiming belt \natau tali sawat pemasaan secara amnya mengawal sistem asas dalam kenderaan. Ini termasuk alternator, pam air dan stereng kuasa, kompresor penyaman udara dan kipas radiator. Jika anda mendapati bunyi pelik yang berpunca daripada bahagian bonet kereta, besar kemungkinan ia adalah disebabkan oleh masalah \ntiming belt\n yang telah rosak, longgar atau haus. Bawa kereta anda ke bengkel untuk pemeriksaan dengan segera\u2013\ntiming belt\n yang rosak boleh menjejaskan prestasi komponen-komponen lain dalam kenderaan.\n\n\n2. Ekzos Kereta Menghasilkan Bunyi Meletup, Berdesis atau Ketak-ketik\n\n\nBiasanya, sistem ekzos yang rosak dapat dikenal pasti melalui bunyi-bunyi yang dihasilkan. Apa yang menarik, setiap bunyi yang dihasilkan oleh sistem ekzos menandakan simptom dan masalah berbeza yang dihadapi oleh kereta anda. Bawa kereta anda untuk penyelenggaraan dan pembaikan jika anda mengesan sebarang bunyi pelik untuk mengelakkan kerosakan yang lebih serius. Berikut merupakan masalah bunyi yang biasa dikaitkan dengan sistem ekzos kereta untuk panduan anda:\n\n\n\n\nChugging sound\n/bunyi meletup\u2013kemungkinan sistem ekzos kereta tersumbat.\n\n\nHissing sound\n/bunyi berdesis\u2013kemungkinan berlaku kebocoran dalam sistem ekzos.\n\n\nRattling sound\n/bunyi ketak-ketik\u2013masalah penjajaran atau \nalignment\n kereta.\n\n\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nTanda-tanda Sistem Ekzos Kereta Anda Mungkin Bocor dan Bermasalah\n\n\n3. Bunyi Menciut atau Bergeser Semasa Menekan Brek\n\n\nBunyi menciut (\nsquealing sound\n) atau bergeser (\ngrinding sound\n) besar kemungkinan menandakan masalah pada sistem brek kereta anda\u2013bunyi dihasilkan kerana angkup atau \ncalliper\n bergeser dengan rotor. Secara amnya, sistem brek kereta memainkan peranan penting untuk keselamatan dan keselesaan anda sepanjang pemanduan. Oleh itu, bawa kereta anda ke bengkel dengan segera untuk pemeriksaan dan penggantian pad brek sekiranya anda mengesan bunyi ini.\n\n\n4. Bunyi Berkertik Semasa Melakukan Pusingan\n\n\nJika bunyi berkertik atau \nclicking sound\n ini berlaku terutamanya semasa melalui selekoh tajam atau semasa membuat pusingan U, ia mungkin menandakan masalah pada bahagian \nCV joint\n kereta anda. \nCV joint\n merupakan salah satu bahagian penting dalam \ndrive shaft\n atau aci pacu kereta anda. Ia memberikan fleksibiliti pada pergerakan roda, memindahkan kuasa dengan cekap ke roda kereta anda dan memastikan ia berputar pada kelajuan yang selari.\n\n\nJika komponen ini haus atau telah rosak, ia akan kehilangan minyak yang boleh menjejaskan kelancaran pergerakan gandar.\u00a0Anda disarankan untuk menggantikan \nCV joint\n dengan segera sekiranya anda mengesan bunyi ini. Ia dapat mengelakkan anda menanggung kos pembaikan yang lebih besar sekiranya perlu menukar keseluruhan gandar kereta.\n\n\n5. Bunyi Berdetap-detup daripada Tayar Kereta\n\n\nTekanan angin dalam tayar\n yang rendah boleh menyebabkan kereta menghasilkan bunyi berdetap-detup atau \nthudding noise\n. Jika situasi ini berlaku, periksa tekanan angin tayar kereta dan pastikan ia berada pada tahap yang disyorkan oleh pengeluar. Namun begitu, jika bunyi masih ada meskipun anda telah mengisi tekanan angin dalam tayar kereta, anda disarankan untuk memeriksa penjajaran kereta anda.\n\n\nPenjajaran kereta yang tidak baik bukan sahaja menyebabkan bunyi berdetap-detup, malah boleh menyebabkan tayar haus dengan lebih cepat sekali gus menyebabkan pemanduan yang tidak selesa. Malah, tekanan tayar rendah dan tidak diselenggara secara berkala juga boleh menyebabkan penggunaan bahan api yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nCara Penjagaan, Tip Beli Tayar Kereta yang Terbaik dan Selamat di Malaysia\n\n\n6. Bunyi Dentang Semasa Pemanduan\n\n\nMasalah bunyi ini mungkin berlaku disebabkan oleh \nabsorber\n kereta atau penyerap hentakan kereta yang telah rosak atau tidak berada dalam keadaan baik. Lakukan pemeriksaan kereta dengan segera jika anda mengesan bunyi dentang atau \nclunking noise\n semasa pemanduan. Jika tidak dibaiki dengan segera, ia boleh memberi kesan terhadap pengendalian, sistem stereng dan brek kereta. Selain bunyi, anda juga boleh mengesan t\nanda-tanda kerosakan \nabsorber\n melalui tanda-tanda berikut:\n\n\n\n\nGetaran berlebihan pada stereng semasa memandu.\n\n\nBody roll\n berlebihan semasa melalui selekoh.\n\n\nKereta melantun dalam jangka masa yang lama.\n\n\nKehausan tayar yang tidak sekata pada tayar kereta.\n\n\nAbsorber\n kereta mengalami kebocoran.\n\n\nNose dive\n berlebihan semasa brek dan bahagian belakang terjongket semasa memecut.\n\n\n\n\n7. Bahagian Bawah Kereta Menghasilkan Bunyi Berdengung\n\n\nJika anda mendapati kereta anda menghasilkan bunyi berdengung\u2013bunyi ini mungkin menandakan beberapa masalah komponen yang berbeza. Sekiranya anda mengesan bunyi ini, beri perhatian sepenuhnya untuk membolehkan anda membantu mekanik mendiagnosis masalah kereta anda dengan lebih baik. Namun begitu, kereta yang menghasilkan bunyi berdengung biasanya disebabkan oleh kekurangan bahan pelincir, kerosakan sistem transmisi atau \nbearing\n tayar yang telah haus.\n\n\nApa yang anda boleh dilakukan\u2013tumpukan perhatian sepenuhnya sebelum, semasa atau selepas bunyi ini kedengaran. Kongsikan maklumat sebanyak mungkin kepada mekanik anda untuk membolehkan pemeriksaan yang teliti dan terperinci dilakukan. Tanpa pemeriksaan menyeluruh, punca sebenar masalah mungkin tidak dapat dikenal pasti.\n\n\n8. Bunyi Geseran daripada \nWiper\n Kereta\n\n\nTahap kualiti, ketahanan dan jangka hayat sesebuah \nwiper\n kereta adalah bergantung pada jenis \nwiper\n kereta yang dipilih. Jika anda mengesan bunyi geseran atau \nscraping noise\n terutamanya semasa menggunakan pengelap cermin kereta, gantikan dengan pengelap cermin kereta yang baharu secepat mungkin. \nWiper\n kereta yang sudah rosak atau haus bukan sahaja berpotensi mencalarkan atau merosakkan cermin hadapan kereta, malah boleh membahayakan nyawa pemandu dan penumpang. Ini kerana, penggunaan pengelap cermin yang rosak boleh mengurangkan jarak penglihatan terutamanya semasa pemanduan dalam hujan.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nTips Penjagaan, Cara Memilih Pengelap Cermin atau Wiper Kereta Terbaik\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, sekiranya anda merancang untuk\n\u00a0\nmembeli kereta terpakai\n\u00a0atau\u00a0\nmenjual kereta terpakai\u00a0lama\n\u00a0\nanda, layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

To think that Mazda ended that eighth generation to begin the current Mazda renaissance since 2003, has been nothing less than spectacular. The reason behind this is incredibly evident. If you look at the previous generation 3 and its current, everything from its design, feel, and execution has been a leapfrog product that\u2019s placed Mazda in the global spotlight ahead of their Japanese counterparts.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIn Malaysia, the current generation Mazda 3 is one we\u2019ve seen since its launch in 2014, where its first introduction was brought in fully imported from Japan, launched again in its CKD form a year after, and just received a facelift earlier this year. The nip and tuck although minor, showcases that the finer touches do enhance the look of the car. Oh and Mazda has also introduced and included G-Vectoring Control (GVC) with this new edition.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nUpdated Design\n\n\nThe Mazda 3 is known as the Axela in Japan. Here you can see the differences in the facelift.\n\n\nOn the overall, Mazda has aimed to improve the look with a wider and more mature approach and it has been executed well. At the front, the new changes emphasizes a wider horizontal face for a greater sense of width. The bolder front grille now connects to the headlamps. The smaller fog lamps at the bottom have been redesigned and now is integrated into the chrome strip for a more streamlined look. LED headlamps are now more pronounced and compare the logos and you might even notice a difference between the two.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe inside cabin features a new steering wheel design, and the centre console has been reworked to to free space \u2013 replacing the manual handbrake pull with an electronic one and making way for more cupholders. Instrument panel fonts have been refined, and the Active Driving Display also now features info in full-colour.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nUp-close Look\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHere the settings for safety on the Mazda 3 includes Smart City Brake Support, BLIS and Lane Departure Warning.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Drive\n\n\n \n\n\nThe positioning of how the driver is, in relation to most of the equipment and how the car is sized, is quite a delight for us when we were behind the wheel. Drivers will notice how the wing mirrors are placed further in from its usual placement where the door meets the A-pillar. This of course brings the sides closer and more connected to the surroundings, making it easier for the driver to better see through the visual obstructing A-pillars.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nOff late, Mazda has been heavily talking about their concept of \nJinba Ittai\n, a Japanese phrase that translates directly as having the horse and rider as one. How they\u2019ve successfully managed to take this experience further is including G-Vectoring Control that is now standard on all their cars post-2017.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat GVC does is a reduction in pitch and roll when taking a corner. What Mazda has done is tie the power steering and engine control computers together with the GVC algorithm that reduces power output during cornering and acceleration (which usually pitches the car back). The result puts a little more weight on the front tyres, which makes steering response more direct and consistent. The change is subtle, and did make us feel more confident behind the wheel. We could go into and out of a corner much quicker thanks to how GVC improved the response of the car.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nVerdict\n\n\n\n\nTruthfully, it isn\u2019t hard to tell that Mazda is a brand focused on making cars for enthusiasts. Why? They\u2019re the only Japanese car company at present that markets heavily about driving experience and \nJinba Ittai\n. We like the updated 3. With a more matured look and feel, the company has made the best Mazda 3 yet. And with the recent preview of the KAI concept at the recent Tokyo Motor Show, we couldn\u2019t be more excited for what\u2019s coming next.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIf you\u2019ve tried selling your car and find it difficult, look no further!

Since the previous generation model, the company has been striving to build a vehicle that allows the driver to have an emotional connection with and not one that is just a means for transport.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe result in its fourth try is the all-new Mazda 3, which Mazda says has been designed to evoke a feeling of joy and exhilaration in the driver, no matter the circumstance. The evolved Kodo design language for the latest generation is one that expresses the essence of Japanese aesthetics. We test-drive the 2.0-L High Plus sedan variant and detail the things that make the new Mazda 3\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSculpting the exterior design\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMazda has employed a \u2018less is more\u2019 design language in the new front and rear lamps.\n\n\nA refinement of the body design is seen in both the sedan and hatchback models with dynamic styling. The sculpting of the body and the way the light reflects off the surface remains in constant flow.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nPerfecting the interior design and layout\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMazda\u2019s designers moved the gear lever and infotainment controls forward so that the operation on either the entertainment or driving position is easier and at a more natural angle.\n\n\nSimilar adjustments were made to the cup holders. By repositioning them ahead of the gear lever instead of behind as on the previous generation, Mazda says that the driver can easily reach for the drink while focusing on the road ahead.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA more optimum driving position is possible thanks to an additional 10 mm of movement on the telescopic steering, with an adjustment range of 70 mm. More support towards the thighs are standard now with a forward seat cushion tilt, ensuring that less fatigue happens when sitting.\n\n\nWhile interior insulation has improved and is certainly more refined than the previous, the way the engine noise sounds from the cabin is rough.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nStaying connected and improving the digital look\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe driver instrument cluster is a new 7-inch unit that provides straightforward and important information. As with the positioning of the instrument cluster and the active driving display (heads-up display), the driver is able to focus easier on the warnings and indicators.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe instrument cluster joins the all-new 8.8-inch widescreen central infotainment display with split-screen view. The graphics has been updated to offer a minimalist look. The unit comes compatible as standard with Apple CarPlay.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nPower and driving dynamics\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPower comes from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine that outputs 162 hp and 213 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. The unit is mated to Mazda\u2019s six-speed SkyActiv Drive transmission with power going to the front wheels.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nG-Vectoring Control Plus is improved from the standard GVC by including brake control to improve handling and grip. While exiting a corner, GVC Plus applies light braking force to the outer wheels, stabilizing the drive and helps restore the car to a straight line.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDriving dynamics is thoroughly enjoyable as it improves from the previous generation, but with certainly more poise and refinement. The placement is sharp when going around corners, making it easy to control. Ride comfort is superior over its predecessor with Mazda certainly placing this as a premium segment compared to its closest competitors.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRead below for more stories!\n\n\nPerhaps something bigger like the Mazda CX-5 SUV? \nClick here\n for our test drive impressions!\n\n\nWhat about the \nMazda 6\n instead?

It\u2019s been a long time coming since the first generation launched back in 2012. While the previous version had various introductions (launched with 2.0 CBU, with CKD a year later, and a 2.5 in 2014), this time the all-new SUV is locally assembled at Mazda\u2019s Inokom plant in Kulim, Kedah.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThere are five variants with three-engine options available here. Two units are 2.0-litre versions, a single 2.5-litre petrol and two top ranging 2.2-litre diesels \u2013 one of which has all-wheel drive. As we\u2019ve reviewed this 2.5-litre, we will list down the best parts that stands out, but also at the end, share which variant is best for you. Shall we begin?\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Drive\n\n\n\n\nThe first thing you\u2019ll notice when driving around in the CX-5 (or any current generation Mazda for that matter), is how easy it is to accustom yourself with the layout, switches and positioning. As with driving, the accuracy of the steering thanks to the magic of G-Vectoring Control (GVC) and the availability of effortless power makes the CX-5 truly a joy to drive. With this 2.5-litre version, there\u2019s plenty of power that when you floor it, despite the weight, it just takes off the line. Think Japanese simplicity matched with BMW steering precision and you\u2019ll be close to what Mazda\u2019s are about today.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat GVC does is a reduction in pitch and roll when taking corners. Mazda\u2019s engineers tied the power steering and engine control computers together with a GVC algorithm to reduce power output during cornering and acceleration. The result puts more weight on the front tyres, making steering more responsive and direct. If you haven\u2019t driven a Mazda, generally gravitate towards Japanese cars and like to drive, the CX-5 will certainly surprise you.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nInterior\n\n\n\n\nThe strengths of the cabin is down to the fact that Mazda believes in simplicity. Overall feel is premium enough if you\u2019re not too detailed about every corner. But what we like and think is the plus point is that the Mazda-esque look is signature from model to model, keeping that interior DNA relevant across the board.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHowever, simplicity in its best depends heavily on the features available, and while this 2.5-litre variant has most of the audio connectivity of CD, MP3, GPS, and Reverse Camera amongst others, somehow we wanted more. We believe that with the update of the Infotainment system to incorporate Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, it would provide sufficient extras to the unit.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIn terms of the meter cluster, unfortunately only the full-coloured LCD version that provides various information to assist the driver is fitted on the 2.2-litre diesels. Oh and Mazda\u2019s Active Driving Display isn\u2019t available throughout the new CX-5.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nConveniences are aplenty though. There\u2019s two USB ports at the front and another two at the rear centre armrest. Rear seats are also 40-20-40 split with two stage reclining seatbacks. Even with the seats up, boot capacity is 442-litres, open to 1,342-litres with them down.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0Here\u2019s a Brief Look at the all-new CX-5 with variants and features.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nVerdict\n\n\n\n\nEvery variant offered by Mazda Malaysia seems to hit the spot here. The entry variant is the introduction into the CX-5 range, one that comes with the least amount of features compared to the rest (such as the omission of all the Advance Safety Technology) but is still RM 7,795 cheaper than the closest new mid-sized SUV competition. As for the 2.0 GLS and 2.5 GLS, specifications are identical except for the engine. For the diesels, both variants are at their best, which includes the full safety systems and the option of two or all-wheel drive.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSo what do we think? The new CX-5 has a lot going for it. Although some might argue that the competitor has a lot more in terms of interior details and comfort, Mazda\u2019s SUV here is one catered for owners that prioritise driving over the other details. So which is best for you? Well this is a simple one. Should you be already interested in the CX-5, it is without a doubt that your choice has gravitated towards what Mazda has to offer at present \u2013 an SUV with good looks, but most of all, great driving dynamics for the everyday.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nClick here\n to check out our review of Mazda\u2019s smaller 3 sedan with GVC!\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car through Carsome and find out how easy it is to connect yourself to over 800 dealers nationwide!\n\n", "Tags\nCars\nDriving\nLifestyle\nReviews", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

The first-ever mid-engine Corvette has been improved in performance, technology, craftsmanship and luxury. While you might digress on the fact that the latest Corvette wouldn\u2019t concern you because it is primarily for left hand drive markets, we\u2019re here to tell you that they\u2019re making this one right hand drive too.\n\n\nNow that we have your attention, read on to find out everything you need to know about the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nStructure\n\n\n\n\nCorvette\u2019s structure is built around its backbone: the center tunnel. This enables a light, stiff structure to serve as the foundation for the suspension system to perform in an optimized manner. By removing unwanted body compliance, Corvette customers will experience the ultimate in ride performance with outstanding lateral grip capabilities. The car has a solid, connected-to-the-road feel with minimal vibrations at high speeds or on long road trips.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe tunnel-dominant approach offers many advantages, including:\n\n\n\n\nImproved torsional rigidity with a solid, connected feel on both the road and track.\n\n\nOutstanding ingress/egress for a mid-engine vehicle. Unlike some competitors, there\u2019s no need for oversized rocker panels to bear structural and load weights, making it easier to enter and exit the vehicle.\n\n\nExcellent stability due to a low center of gravity and outstanding handling.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPreservation of Corvette\u2019s beloved standard removable roof panel, which can easily be stored in the rear trunk.\n\n\nA front storage compartment that can fit an airline-spec carry-on and a laptop bag.\n\n\nAvailability in both left- and right-hand-drive variants \u2014 a first for Corvette.\n\n\nSmart packaging with improved cabin comfort, including an additional inch of rearward seat travel and almost double the reclining angle.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nPerformance\n\n\n\n\nThe 2020 Stingray\u2019s heart is Chevy\u2019s next-generation 6.2L Small Block V-8 LT2 engine, the only naturally aspirated V-8 in the segment. It will produce 495 horsepower and 637 Nm of torque when equipped with performance exhaust \u2014 the most horsepower and torque for any entry Corvette. The LT2 has been designed to deliver excellent low-end torque and high-end power.\n\n\nFor the first time ever, the base Stingray will use an engine-mounted dry sump oil system and three scavenge pumps for improved track performance.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDuring serious track driving, oil volume remains high to avoid diminished performance. The new Stingray\u2019s lateral capability is greatly improved, so the LT2\u2019s dry sump lubrication system had to be redesigned to provide exceptional engine performance even at lateral acceleration levels exceeding 1G in all directions.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nA lightweight, 3.2mm-thick glass panel on the rear hatch allows owners to show off the engine. This panel features a cantilevered trailing edge to evacuate heat from the LT2 engine compartment.\n\n\nOther notable engine characteristics include:\n\n\n\n\nJewel-like setting in the rear compartment, visible through the rear glass hatch.\n\n\nEvery part, including the exhaust system\u2019s wires, tubes, routing fasteners, coolant hoses, exhaust manifold and even the bolts and fasteners, is built with appearance in mind. All engine components were given careful consideration just like the exterior, and even the heat shields are textured.\n\n\nA brand-new block and vent system. The centerline of the crankshaft sits an inch lower to the ground where it mates to the transaxle for better handling.\n\n\nLow-profile oil pan that reduces mass.\n\n\nOil cooler capacity increased by 25 percent.\n\n\nStandard edge Red valve covers.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTransmission\n\n\nPaired with Chevrolet\u2019s first eight speed dual-clutch transmission, the transmission is uniquely designed with\u00a0TREMEC\u00a0to provide the best of both worlds: a spirited, direct connected feeling of a manual and the premium driving comfort of an automatic. The double-paddle de-clutch feature even allows the driver to disconnect the clutch by holding both paddles for more manual control.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDesign\n\n\n \n\n\nTrue to its aeronautical and racing roots, the 2020 Stingray\u2019s canopy-forward stance was inspired by F22s, F35s and other modern fighter jets and Formula One racing. Other classic Corvette signatures adapted to the Stingray include a distinctive face that communicates the purpose of the vehicle\u2019s mission, a classic horizontal crease, aggressive front fenders and familiar positioning of the dual-element headlamps.\n\n\n\n\nLow profile headlamps designed around all-new projectors.\n\n\nCompletely hidden door, hood and hatch releases do not disrupt the sculpted design.\n\n\nLarge side air intakes for engine cooling and aerodynamic performance.\n\n\nA-pillar shape that communicates speed and assists in visibility.\n\n\nLarge rear hatch that showcases the engine with seven air vents.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuad exhaust tips located on the vehicle\u2019s outboard ends.\n\n\nDual-element LED taillamps with animated turn signals.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n\n\nMid-Engine Layout Benefits\n\n\n\n\nBetter weight distribution, with the rear weight bias enhancing performance in a straight line and on the track.\n\n\nBetter responsiveness and sense of control due to driver positioning closer to the front axle, almost on top of the front wheels.\n\n\nThe fastest 0-100 time of any entry Corvette ever \u2014 under three seconds when equipped with Z51 Performance Package.\n\n\nA race car-like view of the road due to lower positioning of the hood, instrument panel and steering wheel. Excellent forward sightlines throughout the vehicle for both driver and passenger.\n\n\nAn enhancement of Corvette\u2019s traditional utility strengths, with dual trunks for a total of 356-litres of cargo volume, ideal for luggage or two sets of golf clubs\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n \n\n\nInterior \u2013 Materials, Quality and Craftsmanship\n\n\n\n\nA cockpit that has not only migrated forward by 16.5 inches, but envelops the driver, conveying the high performance and aeronautic theme\n\n\nVertical climate controls and ultra-thin vents minimize the height of the instrument panel, creating a low, spacious interior.\n\n\nA new, squared-off, two-spoke, small diameter steering wheel that enables an unobscured view of the 12-inch reconfigurable cluster display\n\n\nHand-wrapped, cut-and-sew leather components with thick press stitching.\n\n\nGenerous use of real metal.\n\n\nStainless steel speaker grilles with Bose Performance Series audio system.\n\n\nCarbon fiber trim on the GT2 and Competition Sport Seats.\n\n\nThe choice of either real aluminum or real carbon fiber for console and door trim plates.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n \n\n\nCustomers can create their own design statement, with the most personalisation options ever for Corvette:\n\n\n\n\n12 exterior colors \u2014 Torch Red, Arctic White, Black, Blade Silver Metallic, Shadow Gray, Ceramic Matrix Gray, Long Beach Red, Elkhart Lake Blue and Sebring Orange \u2014 plus three all-new colors: Rapid Blue, Zeus Bronze and Accelerate Yellow.\n\n\nSix interior color themes: Jet Black, Sky Cool Gray, Adrenaline Red, Natural/ Natural Dipped, Two-Tone Blue and Morello Red.\n\n\nSix seat belt colors: Black, Blue, Natural, Torch Red, Yellow and Orange.\n\n\nTwo optional stitch packages: Yellow and Red.

Pelancaran ini juga secara tidak langsung menandakan permulaan industri automotif nasional di Malaysia. Proton Saga merupakan cetusan idea daripada Perdana Menteri ke-4 Malaysia, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad pada tahun 1979. Bermula dengan hanya sebuah lakaran impian pada sehelai kertas kosong, ia kini menjadi salah satu daripada kebanggaan negara. Bukan itu sahaja, ia juga turut membantu Proton menghasilkan lebih daripada 4 juta kenderaan sejak ditubuhkan.\n\n\n\n\nProton Saga merupakan sebuah jenama kereta tempatan yang sinonim dengan rakyat Malaysia. Model paling laris keluaran Proton dan boleh dikatakan sebagai jenama tempatan paling mampu milik\n dibina berasaskan model Mitsubishi Lancer Fiore. Ini selepas pengeluar kereta Jepun ini bersetuju mewujudkan usaha sama dengan HICOM (Perusahaan Industri Berat Malaysia Berhad) untuk menghasilkan kereta pertama buatan Malaysia.\u00a0\n\n\nKereta Saga: Daripada Permainan \nScrabble\n Menjadi Kereta Pertama Kebanggaan Negara\n\n\nProton Saga mendapat namanya daripada \n\u2018Pertandingan Menamakan Kereta Nasional\u2019\n \nyang dianjurkan oleh Proton. Pertandingan tersebut mendapat sambutan yang menggalakkan daripada orang awam dengan lebih daripada 100,000 penyertaan diterima. Penyertaan daripada Staf Sarjan Ismail Jaafar dari Pulau Pinang telah dipilih sebagai pemenang pertandingan tersebut. Beliau menamakan kereta nasional pertama Malaysia sebagai \u2018Saga\u2019 \u2013 akronim bagi Safety (Keselamatan), Achievement (Pencapaian), Greatness (Keunggulan) dan Ability (Kebolehan).\n\n\nIlham menamakan kereta pertama Malaysia sebagai \u2018Saga\u2019 muncul ketika beliau bersama rakan-rakannya bermain permainan \nScrabble\n. Tambah beliau, nama \u2018Saga\u2019 juga mudah untuk dituturkan dalam bahasa lain dan tidak mengandungi konotasi negatif dalam bahasa Melayu atau bahasa Inggeris sekali gus menjadikannya satu nilai tambah yang baik. Staf Sarjan Ismail Jaafar juga turut menerima model yang sama sebagai hadiah kemenangannya.\n\n\nProton Saga Edisi Ulang Tahun ke-35\n\n\nSaga meraikan ulang tahun ke-35 tahun ini sekali gus menandakan dan membuktikan 35 tahun kemampuan negara dalam menghasilkan kereta buatan sendiri. Sempena Ulang Tahun Proton Saga ke-35 ini, Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional (Proton) memperkenalkan model Saga Edisi Ulang Tahun. Model kereta pertama yang dikeluarkan pada tahun 1985 ini terhad kepada 1,100 unit sahaja. Ia tampil secara eksklusif dalam warna hitam dan kuning pada kemasan bahagian dalaman dan luaran. Saga Edisi Ulang Tahun dijual di pasaran pada harga RM39,300.\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, Proton turut menawarkan pilihan aksesori tambahan sempena pelancaran model Edisi Ulang Tahun seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\nskirting\n hadapan dan sisi berwarna kuning (\nfront skirting, side skirting\n);\n\n\nvisor;\n\n\npenebat pada hud (\nhood insulator\n);\n\n\npenutup bonet belakang (\ntrunk lid cover\n);\n\n\ntalam bonet belakang (\nboot tray\n).\n\n\n\n\nSelama 35 tahun dalam industri automotif tempatan, pelbagai kejayaan telah dicapai dan pelbagai usaha inovatif dilakukan untuk pengguna dan pelanggan setia sehingga menjadikan model Saga pilihan utama pengguna di Malaysia selari dengan penjenamaan Proton sebagai kereta rakyat Malaysia.\n\n\nGenerasi Model Proton Pertama di Malaysia\n\n\nKereta Saga boleh dikatakan sebagai produk terbaik Proton yang terus menjadi siulan dan bualan ramai. Populariti yang dikecapi sejak pertama kali dilancarkan 35 tahun lalu membuktikan model ini kekal relevan dan menjadi pilihan rakyat Malaysia. Maka tidak hairanlah sejak pelancaran pertamanya, Proton Saga menyumbang sebahagian besar daripada hasil jualan Proton. Selain itu, CARSOME turut menyenaraikan generasi-generasi Saga di Malaysia untuk panduan anda seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\nProton Saga (1985 \u2013 1992)\n\n\nSaga generasi pertama dilancarkan pada 1983 dan diasaskan daripada model Mitsubishi Lancer Fiore. Model ini dilengkapi dengan enjin 1.3L 4G13 Orion II dan 1.5L 4G15 Orion II, masing-masing dijual pada harga RM17, 575 and RM19,000 pada ketika itu. Model Saga 1.5S pertama dimiliki oleh Tun Dr. Mahathir yang menghadiahkan kereta pertama tersebut kepada isterinya, Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah.\n\n\nProton Saga Aeroback (1987 \u2013 1992)\n\n\nModel ini tampil dengan \nfacelift\n baharu dan menampilkan model kereta versi \nhatchback\n pada tahun 1987. Saga versi \nhatchback\n ini dikenali dengan nama Proton Knight pada mulanya sebelum dikenali sebagai Proton Saga Aeroback.\n\n\nProton Saga Iswara (1992 \u2013 2006)\n\n\nPada 15 Ogos 1992, model \nfacelift\n baharu Saga telah dilancarkan dan dinamakan sebagai Proton Saga Iswara. Nama model ini diambil sempena nama spesis rama-rama di Sarawak. Saga Iswara dilengkapi dengan enjin Orion 1.3L dan 1.5L dan sangat popular dalam kalangan pemandu teksi di Malaysia. Malah, kebanyakan model kereta ini juga diubah suai menjadi kenderaan gas asli (\nnatural gas vehicle\n, NGV).\n\n\nProton Saga LMST (2003 \u2013 2008)\n\n\nSaga LMST (\nLotus Meter Saga Trim\n) \nhatchback\n diperkenalkan pada 2003 berasaskan platform yang sama dengan model sebelumnya. Model ini tampil dengan bahagian dalaman yang lebih moden seperti papan pemuka baharu, panel instrumen dan kluster meter dengan paparan digital yang terdiri daripada odometer, tolok bahan bakar dan tolok suhu. Selain itu, model ini juga turut menjalani pengubahsuaian dan naik taraf di bahagian luaran.\n\n\nSaga LMST menampilkan enjin karburator 1.3L 4G13 Mitsubishi yang disesuaikan untuk menghasilkan 83 bhp. Pada penghujung tahun 2006 pula, Proton menaik taraf bahagian luaran model kereta ini dan hanya boleh didapati dalam dua pilihan warna \n\u2013 \nhitam dan oren terhad bagi enjin 1.3L 4G13. Pada 4 Mac 2007, Proton melancarkan model \nfacelift\n terakhir bagi Saga generasi pertama; Saga LMST Edisi Merdeka ke-50.\n\n\nModel ini hampir sama dengan Saga LMST 2006 dan dijual dengan harga yang lebih rendah sebagai simbol penghargaan Proton kepada pelanggan mereka. Saga generasi pertama merupakan model Proton yang paling berjaya dan paling lama dalam pasaran bagi semua model Proton setakat ini iaitu selama 23 tahun.\n\n\nProton Saga BLM (2008 \u2013 2010)\n\n\nSaga generasi kedua atau turut dikenali sebagai Saga BLM (\nBase Line Model\n) telah dilancarkan pada 18 Januari 2008. Saga BLM merupakan model pertama yang menggunakan logo korporat baharu Proton dan dilancarkan dengan 3 pilihan varian: N-Line, B-Line dan M-Line dengan harga antara RM31,498 hingga RM39,998 semasa pelancarannya. Kesemua varian ini dikuasakan dengan enjin 1.3 liter CamPro IAFM.\n\n\nProton Saga FL (2010 \u2013 2011)\n\n\nSaga FL (singkatan bagi \nfacelift\n) diperkenalkan pada 30 November 2010 di \nThai International Motor Expo 2010\n. Saga FL tampil dengan luaran yang lebih menarik seperti perubahan pada bampar belakang, gril, rim dan lampu depan. Namun begitu, spesifikasi teknikal dan dalaman model ini tidak banyak berubah daripada versi \nfacelift \nsebelum ini. Model ini juga turuy menampilkan sistem audio Clarion baharu yang turut disertakan port USB dan AUX.\n\n\nProton Saga FLX (2011 \u2013 2016)\n\n\nSelepas 8 bulan pelancaran Saga FL, jenama automotif tempatan ini memperkenalkan Saga FLX. Model ini dipacu oleh enjin CamPro IAFM+ dengan sokongan beg udara, sistem brek antikunci (\nanti-lock braking system\n, ABS) dan pengagihan daya brek elektronik (\nelectronic brakeforce distribution\n, EBD). Saga FLX ini dikatakan lebih baik berbanding model Saga FL sebelum ini terutamanya untuk pemanduan jarak jauh dan turut dilengkapi dengan kit badan, \nspoiler\n pada penutup ruang belakang dan rim aloi enam bilah bersaiz 14 inci.\n\n\nProton Saga Generasi Ketiga (2016 hingga sekarang)\n\n\nSaga generasi ketiga diperkenalkan pada 28 September 2016 sebagai pengganti rasmi Saga generasi kedua. Saga generasi ketiga ini dibina berasaskan platform Saga FLX dan berkongsi enjin VVT 1.3L yang sama dengan Iriz. Proton telah mereka semula sepenuhnya reka bentuk luaran, malah bahagian dalaman turut diperbaharui dengan reka bentuk dalaman yang lebih baik. \nASEAN NCAP\n\u00a0\ntelah menganugerahkan penarafan keselamatan sebanyak 4 bintang untuk model Saga baharu ini\n\n\nSaga, Produk Kebanggaan Buatan Malaysia\n\n\nProton Saga kini melangkah lebih jauh sejak pertama kali diperkenalkan 35 tahun yang lalu dan kini menjadi salah sebuah jenama tempatan yang dipercayai. Selain menawarkan harga yang berpatutan, kos pemilikan yang rendah juga secara tidak langsung menjadikannya model pilihan utama pembeli kereta. Malah, jika dinilai jumlah tempahan yang diterima saban tahun, model ini membuktikan ia berada dalam kelasnya yang tersendiri dan terpahat dalam sanubari rakyat Malaysia. Hari ini, model ini mengekalkan kedudukannya sebagai model terlaris dan paling popular dalam rangkaian jenama Proton.\n\n\n\n\nPenambahbaikan demi penambahbaikan dilakukan bagi meningkatkan kualiti dan prestasinya dalam usaha untuk menjadikan jenama ini bukan sahaja diterima dalam kalangan masyarakat malah kekal relevan dan menjadi buah mulut pengguna untuk sekurang-sekurangnya 35 tahun akan datang.

For the C-Class range, it is the pinnacle of AMG performance. The S features the top of the range power \u2013 outputting 503 hp and 700 Nm of torque from 2,500 to 5,000 rpm from the 4.0-liter biturbo V8 engine. Power is sent to the rear wheels, with a listed century sprint acceleration from a standstill in a mere 3.9-seconds. When there\u2019s enough road, the Coupe will reach an electronically limited top speed of 290 km/h. As Mercedes has updated the C 63 range with better looks and improved internals, we take the C 63 S out for a spin and share with you the features that took us to driving nirvana.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe transmission now uses a 9-speed AMG Speedshift unit\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe AMG Speedshift MCT 9G transmission has been tuned specifically for the new model with a wet start-off clutch to save weight and optimises the driver\u2019s accelerator pedal response.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe driver can double-declutch or engage the multiple downshift function in \u2018Sport\u2019 and \u2018Sport +\u2019 drive modes, enabling quicker responses and more power moving down gears.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAMG Dynamics truly something special\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere are six drive modes available \u2013 Slippery, Comfort, Sport, Sport +, Race and Individual.

But apart from knowing that AMG\u2019s are more powerful versions of standard Mercedes\u2019, how did it start, and how much of AMG is part of its history?\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIn a brief history, AMG was started by two engineers \u2013 Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher who at the time was working in the Development Department at Daimler-Benz; shared an interest in motorsports. Unfortunately, the company discontinued all racing activities, and Aufrecht and Melcher wanting to continue on with their interest, founded AMG after their names and the location of the garage where they first worked, in Gro\u00dfaspach (pronounced Grossaspach) in 1967.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThrough the tinkering of engines for performance, winning races, and creating history, the popularity of AMG spread to tuned cars even on the road; with the badge quickly becoming a sensation. With demand steadily rising, they soon moved to its current home in Affalterbach in 1976.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIt was at Affalterbach in 1986 that global recognition was brought into attention \u2013 the brand had developed a 5.0-litre V8 engine in an E-Class coupe, better known as \u201cThe Hammer\u201d. Years of close cooperation followed, and with high demand and a greenlight to develop AMG versions of Mercedes\u2019 road cars, the badge today is ever popular with the three-pointed star.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDon\u2019t forget that this list doesn\u2019t include all engine types. Thats a lot of AMGs.\n\n\nToday, AMG badged Mercedes\u2019 have grown in variety and numbers. In fact, in its current line-up, despite having six distinct badge numbers 35, 43, 45, 53, 63 and 65, there are further variants of the engines within the same number. While we won\u2019t go deep into the range, the engine in the 45 AMGs are considered as the customer\u2019s entry point into the world of performance Mercedes-Benz (This has been overtaken by the new entry 35 model in the new A-Class; with plans to improve and uprate the current 45 versions).\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSo with the small history lesson aside, we\u2019ve arrived at the Mercedes-AMG GLA 45. At first thought, it\u2019ll be natural to think that the GLA 45 would end up to be a strange AMG choice, but after spending some time with it, we think this is the entry AMG to get. However, we do know the facelift was launched in 2017 and we are now in 2019, so let us explain.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nFollowing the brand\u2019s one man, one engine, this one was handbuilt by Ronny Heibner.\n\n\nThe AMG in focus here is the facelift AMG GLA 45 4Matic, which underneath has a 2.0-litre turbo that outputs 375 hp and 475 Nm of torque mated to a 7-speed AMG Speedshift Dual-Clutch transmission. Power is driven to all wheels through the 4Matic system with a century sprint time stated at 4.4-seconds. It stands 15 mm lower than the standard GLA and has all the bells in the suspensions to set it apart from the vanilla sibling.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAesthetically, this facelifted GLA 45 now comes with high performance LED headlamps with a distinct DRL strip (opposed to chiclets before), bodykit with new air intake grilles with a front splitter which helps in aerodynamics.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nInside the cabin does feel a little dated, and follows on from the same layout as seen in the 2013-2014 A-Class and GLA when it was first introduced. Of course the AMG treatment here does distinguish it from the other GLAs with the AMG Performance steering wheel, Recaro bucket seats with adjustable side and thigh bolsters, centre console gear shifter, the floating 8-inch display, the customary red accents throughout the cabin and seatbelts, on top of many others. Most of all, how does it drive?\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe engine in the GLA 45 is an amazing one. The brand has effectively managed to boost power to impressive numbers and yet provide a linear acceleration and power delivery. Of course the driving experience is quite a treat for the senses the moment the engine comes alive. Taking the car easy requires a little more throttle at the get go, but of course there\u2019s plenty more even at half pedal. In fact, there\u2019s more than enough power available that we couldn\u2019t even fully bring it down on our daily drives.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAdrenaline driven accelerations are met with the audible satisfaction of loud pops on upshifts and the crackle when lifting off, and it all comes together better when you do the shifts on your own. Taking sharp corners is where you can tell the AMG-ness shines \u2013 with little roll, confidence to speed up increases and directions change quick. When you\u2019re ready to slow down, the brakes bite eagerly and work so well that it takes a tap just to get things to a halt.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAfter using the GLA 45 as our daily driver we came to this conclusion. In its current offering locally, the GLA 45 is certainly a powerhouse machine that is purpose built for the track. You can have massive amounts of fun because it can be menacing and yet down to earth for you to use as a daily car. The only areas we think that would put away the potential buyer is the interior layout, which still features the old design language and the fact that the newer AMG A 35 is quite literally around the corner. Although it isn\u2019t the same, we do think that its relative size, value and its pure driving nature is a win. Besides, the next GLA is still a long while away.

On top of offering just a hatchback body style like the past three generations, Mercedes also took to create a sedan for the fourth-generation model and introduce it to the global market. In Malaysia, the A-Class sedan comes in the same two variants as the hatchback \u2013 an A 200 Progressive line and A 250 AMG line. What separates the A 200 sedan from the A 250 hatchback we reviewed last year? This is what we found out.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThere are several firsts and highlights for an entry Mercedes-Benz\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApart from the obvious body type, the sedan shares the same wheelbase as the hatchback and in measurements, is 130 mm longer and 6 mm taller than its smaller sibling.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn an effort to keep the crown of having the most aerodynamic passenger car in the market (previously held by the CLA), Mercedes set to equal the co-efficient drag figure of 0.22, but because of the smaller frontal area of 2,19m\u00b2 compared to the CLA, the A-Class sedan takes over the crown.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMBUX is the new Mercedes-Benz User Experience multimedia system that showcases the brand\u2019s all-new system and makes its debut in the A-Class. MBUX is customizable, adapts to the user and has the ability to learn. The user experience is now operated by a touchscreen, touchpad on the center console or touch control buttons on the steering wheel. Locally, both A-Class types in Malaysia are equipped with the highest specified two 10.25-inch displays.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe engine might be small, but it delivers more than enough power\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnderneath the hood of the A 200 sedan lies a 1.3-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that delivers 163 hp and 250 Nm of torque from 1,620 to 4,000 rpm. It is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Foot down from a standstill and the A 200 can reach the century sprint in 8.1-seconds.\n\n\nFuel economy is stellar. In our four-day test drive, we only used less than half of the 51-liter fuel tank before returning the keys. The rated fuel economy is 5.4-liters per 100 km.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe interior is the biggest evolution for the A-Class\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMercedes-Benz went all the way with the redesign of the A-Class cabin. It takes inspiration from the brand\u2019s flagship models and offers a premium look and feel unlike its predecessors.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe wing-shaped design of the main dashboard now extends from door to door at the front, offering a visual continuity. The turbine air vent designs from the E-class coupe is introduced and the overall visual appeal is modern and luxurious.\n\n\nCabin ambient lighting with 64-colors also bring the mood and luxury to the interior with preset colors and even color schemes.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMBUX is the latest generation of the brand\u2019s multimedia system. It is a leap forward in user interface and user experience with customizable easy access shortcuts. However, the highlight for MBUX has to be the intelligent voice control via the keyword \u201cHey Mercedes\u201d. With this, the driver will have a digital assistant, somewhat like Siri on iOS devices and will be able to change the ambient temperature and set navigation locations among other functions. It\u2019s great but might need a little getting used to.\n\n\nCabin insulation is quiet to the engine start and idling. However, once bumps and cracks form or if you push the engine hard, it comes into the cabin and it can feel a little less refined\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDriving is sharp and precise\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTurn in is the most impressive Mercedes we\u2019ve driven in a while. It behaves just like the A 250 hatchback we reviewed previously albeit with a less refined suspension. The size, and the way the A 200 behaves is rather impressive for an entry-level Mercedes and is certainly a welcome one for us.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe front changes direction quick and you can get up to speed fast with the midrange power thanks to the turbo. Once you\u2019ve felt the way the A 200 picks up speed once you get things going, it puts quite a smile on your face.\n\n\nGear changes are smooth and does the job well but has a tendency to upshift for better fuel economy. The result is good mileage when you need it, but can be irritating when its between a quick crawl in traffic.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRead below for more stories!\n\n\nAre you interested in the Mercedes-Benz A 250 hatchback instead? \nClick here\n for our test drive impressions!\n\n\nPerhaps something bigger for the family?

Apart from showcasing the company\u2019s latest design language with an incredible drag coefficient figure of 0.25, the headlining aspect of the new A-Class is its revolutionary interior design and technology.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIncorporating two 10.25-inch widescreen displays for the instrument cluster and infotainment, the modernisation of the cabin is meant to be a precedent for all-new Mercedes-Benz cars that followed. The product offensive has been strongly proactive, as there are now as many as 16 models in the company\u2019s portfolio that feature a widescreen display (whether current or earlier iterations).\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe reason for such a positioning in the entry-level Mercedes is not a surprise. Since the introduction of the previous generation A-Class in 2012, the average age of drivers owning a new A-Class in Europe is more than 10 years less than drivers in the brand\u2019s preceding model series. In China, one in three customers were under the age of 30. More so in Europe in 2017, more than 60% of A-Class customers previously drove a competing brand. This also goes without saying that Mercedes-Benz is also expanding the compact segment around the A-Class to another three, from the current five.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n\n\nFocusing on the A 250 AMG Line, first impressions are very positive (to be honest we were very excited about this car). Styling wise has been a mix of opinions but we feel that Mercedes is following a set language for the current generation \u2013 sleeker headlamps with DRLs and the shark nose front. In terms of size, the new A-Class is larger in all areas, including an increase of 127 mm in length and 30 mm in wheelbase.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nUnderneath the A 250 lies a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged unit that outputs 224 hp and 350 Nm from 1,800 to 4,000 rpm and is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch (7G-DCT) transmission. Drive goes to the front wheels.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe interior as previously mentioned is the highlight of the new A-Class. The dual 10.25-inch displays immediately become the centre of attention, with the design elements of the turbine air-vents, door pulls, cleaner centre console and the lighting accents.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe possibility of the simplified centre console is thanks to the introduction of Mercedes\u2019 MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience), which places most controls and information within the infotainment unit. Input is now operated through the touchscreen, touchpad and touch control buttons on the steering wheel. The latter most corresponds to displays input according to the touchpad left or right position. As the system is a learning one, MBUX also has the artificial intelligence system of \u2018Hey Mercedes\u2019 and can help you with audio, climate and navigation.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe instrument cluster has various themes and can be customised based on the available data options.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDriving and everyday impressions\n\n\n \n \n \n\n\nThe new A-Class experience is very much refreshing because everything here is brand new. The design of switches and knobs like the seat adjustment, gear stalks are familiar but new. Button placements have been made more cohesive and simpler to use than the previous generation.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAs for the use of Mercedes\u2019 latest MBUX, the system is straightforward and a next step up from the latest Comand APS NTG 5.5 available in the widescreen W213 E-Class. Input can be done from either the touchscreen display, central touchpad, or steering wheel touchpad. However, one thing we realised during extended use is that the system at one point will require the use of the touchscreen display for more detailed input. Depending on the situation, the driver won\u2019t be able to proceed with just the touchpad while on the move.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe driving experience here is certainly a step up from any Mercedes-Benz car we\u2019ve driven off late. Foot down, there\u2019s plenty of power from the engine for you to catch up in a convoy or overtake on the highway. Gear shifts are seamless and smooth from the 7-speed DCT when in auto, and if needed when paired with the paddle shifters, driving is a real joy around the bends. The winning recipe for the new A-Class is certainly the immediacy in changing direction and how accurate the nose points in relation to the steering input. We are certainly impressed with what Mercedes has done for this generation A-Class in relations to drivability.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nVerdict\n\n\nThe ambient light colours really pop at night.\n\n\nIf we had to put down things we felt could\u2019ve been improved, there are a few. First comes from the glossy reflective surface on the dual display, where during day, it can become distractive and hinder visibility. And second comes from the accidental input to the central touchpad that can happen when getting something from the console area.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n\n\nWhat else? Not much really. The A 250 as a premium hatchback is certainly the best that Mercedes has made and, in our opinion, the best anyone can get for hatchback\u2019s within this range. Best of all, those who want a little more boot space, there\u2019s the A-Class sedan that\u2019s available as well. But if you\u2019re looking for more power, you might have to wait for the AMG A 35, A 45 or A 45S.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nPrefer a C-class with some power?

This is also matched with a drag of less than 0.49 m\u00b2, a figure that\u2019s also important for the achievement. The company also states that this new honour defends the one set by the CLA Coupe.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe purpose for a low drag coefficient contributes to lower fuel consumption under everyday conditions. To achieve this figure, the A-Class sedan was optimised to the smallest details by multiple computation loops, computer-aided engineering and measurements in the brand\u2019s own wind tunnel in Sindelfingen. In a side note, the blower in the wind tunnel can generate wind speeds as high as 265 km/h and is so precise that it is possible to show the influence of tyre markings in aerodynamics.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe small improvements that led to the new record included a reduction of the frontal area, extensive sealing such as the headlamp surroundings, almost complete underbody panelling of engine bay, main floorpan and parts of the rear axle and diffuser.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe car\u2019s rims and tyres also went through aerodynamic fine-tuning, with front and wheel spoilers optimised to route the air around the wheels in its most efficient.

From engines to stop-start systems, weight and transmissions, automakers are innovating the best they can to improve those figures.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    One of the more important factors in this area is the science that involves aerodynamics. Because of this, automakers are ever conscious in building sleeker vehicles. Cars which have been sculpted to have a lower drag coefficient (Cd), or in layman\u2019s terms, one that has a lower drag force when it moves through the air. Simple science tells us that when there is more resistance opposing a vehicle in motion, it takes more energy to go against those forces. More energy equals higher consumption. This is where Mercedes-Benz comes in.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nYou could mistake the front of the A-Class sedan with the CLA Coup\u00e9.\n\n\n\n\n\n    Zooming in on the everyday production car, Mercedes-Benz currently holds the first and second spot in the aerodynamics crown \u2013 represented by the A-Class sedan with a Cd value of 0.22 and the new CLA Coup\u00e9 which achieves a 0.23 Cd and defends the previous record set by its predecessor.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    In an aim to perfect aerodynamics of their vehicles, Dr Teddy Woll, Head of Aerodynamics at Mercedes-Benz has made it one of his main missions to search for mobility that is most efficient. It is no wonder then, why Dr Woll recently met up with Ironman Jan Frodeno, a triathlete who is known to be a perfectionist when it comes to looking for the tiniest technical advantage. In the complex triathlon world, the cycling leg is by far the most dependent on optimum technique \u2013 in particular on the aerodynamics of a cyclist and their bicycle.\n\n\n\n\n    In a recent interview conducted by Daimler Communications, Dr Teddy Woll and Jan Frodeno spoke about how aerodynamics is viewed from both an athlete's point of view, and in Mercedes-Benz vehicles.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is the significance of aerodynamics as far as you are concerned?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom left: Jan Frodeno and Dr Teddy Woll.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJF: \nAerodynamics plays a really fundamental role in the central part of a long-distance triathlon, the 180 km cycle ride. In particular, at the World Championships in Hawaii we have to fight against strong gusts of wind as well as the wind resistance. This makes the issue especially complex. And you need to know that it's not just the aerodynamics of the wheel that makes the difference, it's the decisive interplay between the bike and its rider. Because the body causes around 80 percent of the contact surface for the wind. It's definitely worth a few hours in the wind tunnel to find the ideal seat position.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDTW: \nAerodynamics are an intelligent way of cutting fleet consumption and also help to close the gap between certified and actual consumption. As the wind resistance grows with the square of the speed, a cd value reduction brings advantages above all at a higher speed. An aerodynamic design is also so important because the vehicles' frontal area is tending to increase: people are getting taller, the battery in electric vehicles needs space and lots of customers prefer an SUV. We are all the prouder that in the new compact cars we have managed for the first time to cut the cd figure yet again and also made the frontal area smaller, in spite of wider wheels and more space in the vehicle.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to the aerodynamics of the bicycle or car, what kind of ballpark figures are we talking about?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJF: \nAnyone out for a leisurely ride on a touring bike has a Cd value of around 0.7 m\u00b2. A mountain biker has about 0.6 m\u00b2, a racing biker 0.5 m\u00b2. With me \u2013 in combination with a helmet, the pre-determined seat position and an aerodynamically optimised bike \u2013 a Cd figure of 0.21 m\u00b2 was measured. So anyone riding a Dutch bike has to overcome three times the resistance, and at as much as nine times the resistance at twice the speed!\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDTW: \nOur best is currently the A-Class Saloon. With a cd value of 0.22 it achieves the current world record amongst series vehicles and has a frontal area of around 2.19 m\u00b2. This adds up to a drag coefficient of 0.49 m\u00b2. Two people in an A-Class are therefore much more aerodynamic then two racing bike riders \u2013 despite triple the frontal area.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nIs it possible to put the benefit of better aerodynamics in figures?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJF: \nAs the external circumstances are permanently changing, it is so difficult to quantify it in absolute terms. But one thing is clear: the less energy I need the faster I can cycle \u2013 or I can save energy for the marathon to come. So we cyclists measure aerodynamics in watts \u2013 the power we have to generate in order to overcome the wind resistance \u2013 or how many watts we can save at a target speed of, say, 45 km/h.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDTW: \nIf it is possible to cut the cd figure by one hundredth, so for example 0.24 to 0.23, the fuel consumption in the customer average falls by one tenth of a litre, at a motorway speed of 140 km/h by approx. 0.2 litres per 100 kilometres or 5 grams of CO2 per kilometre. Today there is no measure that cuts this much consumption at such low costs. To achieve the same saving with lightweight-construction measures in real traffic we would have to reduce the weight of our cars by at least 50 kilograms, and at a motorway speed of 140 by as much as 200 kg.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat improvement have you achieved in the course of your career?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJF: \nIn the last few years we have concentrated on working on the bike itself with my bike partner Canyon and we have improved the handlebars and the cockpit. We also tinkered with my seat position and developed a new helmet too. This all resulted in successes. But you also always have to keep an eye on the biomechanics. Because you also have to put power on the pedal too and above all in an Ironman you have to be able to stay in the seat position for 4 hours. It doesn't help one bit if you save 10 W of air resistance in the wind tunnel but the position is then so \"uncomfortable\" that your performance decreases by 20 W or you can't run properly afterwards. Finding this balance and the perfect point between aerodynamics and biomechanics is our biggest challenge.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nA look at the interior of the A-Class sedan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDTW: \nWe also have a conflict of interests with different demands when it comes to a vehicle \u2013 that's why not every model is always more aerodynamic than its predecessor. But generally speaking we have made huge progress in the last few years. One spectacular example is the leap the SUVs have made, from the first M-Class with cd 0.40 to the new GLE, which achieves a new best cd figure in the segment, 0.29. In this period the saloons have clocked up an improvement of some 20\u00a0percent. In recent years we have made great progress thanks to the digitisation of the development process, as calculations are very much faster and much more refined. Digital vehicle models nowadays have over 100 million cells, and can produce results overnight with a precision of over 99 percent. Not that long ago, this same simulation would have taken 6 months and would have been very imprecise. Then there is the fact that today we collaborate very well with our colleagues from Design and we have developed a huge mutual understanding. And it certainly makes us proud that we are setting the trend for the entire car industry in this field.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nAnd where are the improvements taking place?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJF: \nTake a look at my current racing bike. My partners at Canyon really took care of every last detail. For instance, my Speedmax CF SLX has a tailor-made cockpit: in order to keep the frontal area as small as possible Canyon milled a special attachment that sits in the centre of the stem. And Continental made me a special tyre with the low rolling resistance of the GrandPrix TT and the reduce wind resistance of the GrandPrix 4000 S2: through the profile in the tread the wind dissipates faster, which saves one to two W compared with the smooth tread of the TT.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDTW: \nThis encompasses three areas \u2013 the air flow through the engine compartment, the air flow around and within the front wheels, and the underbody. These measures include, for example, the latest generation of active radiator shutters, a complex interplay between 3D wheel spoilers, slotted wheel arch liners and aero wheels, fully trimmed underbodies and also the active level control system on some vehicles. But we take a close look at every nook and cranny of the vehicle, from the front apron with all its edges and apertures to the small spoiler lips in the lenses of the tail lights, to perfect the breakaway of the air flow at the rear.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nWill the development then continue or has the end of the road been reached?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJF: \nDevelopment is always ongoing as long as weirdos like me are so obsessed with every detail. If you want to win you have to be better than the rest. And this means that if you stand still you fall behind. We constantly have to learn, measure, buy, develop \u2013 and start all over again.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDTW: \nAnd that is precisely our attitude too. Our company motto \"The best or nothing\" amounts to the same thing. Of course we are gradually approaching an asymptotic limit if we do not dramatically change the appearance of our cars, e.g. by making them much longer and sleeker, and equipping them with slim rear ends and narrow wheels. Fortunately, however, we can always still find details where improvements are possible \u2014 both in the wind tunnel and, increasingly often, on the computer. After all, aerodynamics is the most efficient way to even more efficiency.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to learn about the improvements made to the \nA-Class sedan\n.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnd here for more about the all-new \nCLA Coup\u00e9\n.\n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nSell your car through Carsome when you're ready to buy that shiny new ride!\n\n", "Tags\nCars\nDriving\nLifestyle", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

With 638 units of the CLA, we couldn\u2019t help but calculate that 12 units of the CLA are sold per week last year. To begin 2017, let us open the year with the brand\u2019s sporty models as we highlight and test the facelifted CLA 250 Sport 4Matic Coup\u00e9 and the SLC 300 AMG Convertible.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTogether these two sporty offerings are updates of current vehicles that are leaders in their vehicle\u2019s class. Both feature new bumpers and a diamond radiator grille as standard on top of numerous enhancements to the interior. For the CLA, its updates although minor accentuate the Coup\u00e9 a step further. At the front, the new signature swooping lower intake is joined by LED High Performance headlamps that illuminates with a colour temperature that is closer to daylight than regular xenon headlamps. As the eyes swoop to the rear end, the newly designed LED tail lamps go together with tailpipe trim panels that stay flush into the bumper.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe interior opens into new seat covers, trim parts and chrome-plated controls. The details surrounding the switches in the doors and the stowage compartment in the centre console has been meticulously looked at. The freestanding central display is an 8-inch unit with a new glass cover and with the new steering wheel design, has red needles on top of new styled dials. The brand\u2019s signature Audio 20 system remains and is used to control a host of infotainment options \u2013 audio, driving modes and phone.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nLike the CLA, the SLC is also a definite crowd puller. Updated with the brand\u2019s new nomenclature which sees the previous SLK renamed to SLC \u2013 as the relationship the roadster\u2019s shared technology with the C-Class. Historically, the original SLK which was launched in 1996 became popular with its retractable hardtop (Vario-roof as it is called) and has been instrumental in paving the way for other convertible hardtop cars along the way.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat sets apart the new SLC from the previous SLK is certainly the new front and rear end that has been updated to showcase the brand\u2019s current signature look. From the steeply raked diamond radiator grille to the striking air intakes and distinctive headlamps, the front-end design elongates the look of the arrow-shaped bonnet and accentuates the SLC. At angles, it is reminiscent of its larger sibling the SL and the menacing AMG GT.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIt takes approximately 18 seconds for the roof to go down or up.\n\n\nAs the eyes move towards the side profile, the roadster silhouette comes into shape, bringing the ventilation grills that draw the rising beltline and sweeping roof merge with the rear to showcase the muscular wings, tail lamps with LED and a new bumper with black diffuser.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the cabin, those familiar with the pre-updated interior will notice the subtle yet significant changes. Firstly, the new-generation sports steering wheel with a flat bottom design and paddle shifters is joined by a new gear lever, a small brushed aluminium piece embossed with the SLC name. Like the CLA, the SLC comes equipped with the Audio 20 accompanied by a 7-inch display but with navigation pre-installed. Surprisingly for a car this size, there are many storage compartments within the cabin that allows quite a fair bit of items to be tucked away when needed.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAnd talking about space, the highlighting factor of boot space is a whopping 335-litres of luggage allowance. While that doesn\u2019t seem like much, it does trump the current Ford Focus hatchback which only comes in at 316-litres. The only snag about all this though, is the roof protector which houses the convertible hardtop. When down, the roof protector can\u2019t be tucked away \u2013 which poses to be a hassle when removing larger items like a golf bag.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDriving and Lifestyle Impressions\n\n\n\n\nFor what its worth, the 4Matic system on this 250 Sport certainly provides awe inspiring confidence behind the wheel. Off the line, the acceleration is relentless when put in Sports mode (thanks to the 7-speed dual clutch gearbox), but can be economical when in Eco mode \u2013 placing revs when cruising at 100km/h around 1,800rpm. At tight narrow bends, it handles like an FF through the tight narrow bends and when necessary, the brakes clamp on hard with good modulation and a progressive feel. Both the brakes and chassis is very assuring even under sudden braking manoeuvres.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nLifestyle wise, the CLA could be a challenge for drivers used to the standard central positioned gear lever, which here is replaced by the brand\u2019s standard stalk unit. And also while there is respectable legroom for a vehicle this compact, the low-rear roofline which is a by-product of the coup\u00e9 design could pose as an issue to taller occupants.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe driving experience of the SLC stays true to its roots. We say this to the fact that not only are there multiple modes available from the Dynamic Select which modifies the engine, transmission, steering, suspension and sound through the sports exhaust (which in turn enables the driver to feel the sensory feedback the SLC provides) but also one that allows for a range of lifestyles. Almost everything here is taken a step further than the CLA, but with stickier tyres, quicker engine management with gear changes from that truly special 9-speed G-Tronic transmission. Enter into Sports Plus mode and gear changes are actuated in mere miliseconds when you want it to.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhen needed, the panoramic Magic Sky Control glass roof of the SLC can tint and clear the glass at the touch of a button.\n\n\nTop down or up, you could be driving it by the countryside, in the city, on the track, and on truly technical roads, you can have a good amount of fun up the twistys of Bukit Tinggi, or by the coastal roads of Batu Ferringhi.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMercedes-Benz\n\n\nCLA 250 Sport 4Matic\n\n\nSLC 300 AMG\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPower\n\n\n215 hp\n\n\n241 hp\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTorque\n\n\n350 Nm at 1,200 to 4,000 rpm\n\n\n370 Nm at 1,300 to 4,000 rpm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEngine Capacity\n\n\n2.0-litre Turbocharged 4 cyl\n\n\n2.0-litre Turbocharged 4 cyl\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTransmission\n\n\n7-Speed Dual Clutch Automatic\n\n\n9G-Tronic (9-Speed Automatic)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLitre/100km (Combined)\n\n\n6.8\n\n\n5.8\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCO2 Emissions (Combined)\n\n\n160 g/km\n\n\n134 g/km\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice\n\n\nRM 278,888\n\n\nRM 468,888\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nVerdict\n\n\n\n\nYou can\u2019t go wrong with either one of these handsome coup\u00e9 and cabriolet pair.

With this generation, Mercedes-Benz decided to take a more streamlined approach aesthetically. The result is one that sits between the flagship W222 S-Class and W205 C-Class. Together they share design elements that drive and represent the brand\u2019s core sedan range.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe W213 E-Class in Malaysia has actually seen multiple updates since its official launch in 2016. Apart from the local assembly in 2017, the current E introduced the E 350e plug-in hybrid, updated the trim range in 2018 and announced the E 300, and once more early this year with a refresh to new engines and an E 350 AMG Line variant. Are there significant differences to the 2019 update? Will an engine change improve the experience? Mercedes-Benz Malaysia loaned us the E 200 Sportstyle for a weekend. We will compare it with our original impressions back in 2017.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhen we first experienced the E 200 and E 250 two years ago, the technology and design blew us away. Somehow the brand took what they learnt in the S-Class and C-Class and packaged for the future.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nGone were the analogue dials and traditional buttons, and in were a streamlined layout that made the user interface easier to navigate.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nFor the 2019 update, minor upgrades have been made to the previous iterations. Now with the Sportstyle badge, the E 200 comes with new 18-inch five spoke alloys and additional chrome on the front bumper similar (apart from the grille) of the E 250 Exclusive Line before.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInside there are some goodies to keep up with the brand\u2019s newer cars. The steering wheel for one is the latest seen in the latest C-Class and A-Class models that feature a redesigned touchpad, audio, cruise control switches. Trim now is a light carbon-grain aluminium with an open-pored black ash wood centre console.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne thing key eyes will notice in the centre console is the omission of the Comand touchpad that hovers above the navigational wheel. On the plus side, the E 200 gains a Qi wireless charger inside the centre cubby and the infotainment unit now also comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEverything remains including the two 12.3-inch widescreen displays that dominate the dashboard, the 64-colour ambient lighting and of course the comfortable Artico leather upholstery.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe biggest change here is certainly the new engine. The new twin-scroll turbocharged 2.0-litre unit now outputs 194 hp and 320 Nm of torque 1,650 to 4,000 rpm. Century sprint is achieved in 7.5-seconds and is mated to the same 9G-Tronic automatic transmission.\n\n\nDriving impressions are still as positive like before. It\u2019s comfortable to drive and is easy to move and direct but it\u2019s not as what you would expect from their AMG line of vehicles. After all, the E-Class has always meant to be an executive sedan aimed at comfort over sportiness. That being said, the Agility Control suspension stiffens up the ride in Sport mode for a little more confidence around bends. As for power, the new engine does seem to make the car feel lighter than it is, despite this being the entry E 200.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat\u2019s our verdict? Was there anything more that we wanted? Yes definitely. For a Mercedes that has Keyless Start, the lack of the smart entry on doors (Keyless Go) make it a little counterproductive considering that the driver still needs to take out the key to unlock and lock the vehicle. As for the sound system, the lack of Burmester isn\u2019t a dealbreaker. Sound is still good and customisable and wouldn\u2019t really affect most listeners unless you\u2019re an audiophile.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTruthfully the E 200 is still a great entry for the E-Class and is more than equipped to satisfy anyone looking for an executive sedan. As far as we\u2019re concerned, the additional features does make it better than its rivals on certain aspects. After all, the E 200\u2019s strongest point is still its interior design, comfort levels and the fact that it holds its appeal as a Mercedes-Benz.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nClick here\n for out impressions of the latest A-Class!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car to Carsome today!

Its origins date back to the 1950s, where the development of the original Mini by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and designer Sir Alec Issigonis carved a distinct identity for the small car.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSir Alec Issigonis with the Austin Seven.\n\n\n\n\nThe design of the original Mini in the next 40 years received three main updates that saw cosmetic changes and modernisations. Within the years, body variations were added to the line-up, including estate, pick-ups, vans and even an open top buggy called the Mini Moke.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBy the turn of the new millennium and under the current ownership of BMW, the renaissance of a new Mini takes form. Today, the head of Mini\u2019s exterior design is at the helm of Thomas Sycha, who has taken up the role since 1\nst\n July 2019. This interview from Mini\u2019s news syndication talks about Sycha\u2019s passion for design and how Mini\u2019s design could be like in the future.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhy did you become a car designer? \n\n\nTS: Ever since I\u2019ve been able to think, I\u2019ve always drawn things \u2013 from cartoons and houses to automobiles. I was particularly fascinated by the varying characters and forms of expression that vehicle design can convey. I grew up in Poland, where the profession of automobile designer didn\u2019t exist at the time. That\u2019s why I started by studying architecture. I wanted to work creatively and design something. The desire to turn my passion into a profession stayed with me. Back then, I came across pictures of Marcello Gandini\u2019s designs for Bertone in the press by chance. Futuristic, powerfully wedge-shaped vehicles from the 1970s, the Fiat X 1/9; and Autobianchi A112 Bertone Runabout, which he had drawn in very architectural perspectives. As a young architecture student I tried out the same thing \u2013 and it was immediately clear to me that that was what I wanted to do. I found out which universities offered degrees in automotive design. There weren\u2019t very many: London, Los Angeles and Pforzheim. I chose Pforzheim \u2013 and was accepted there.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat inspires you? \n\n\nTS: I find inspiration in different experiences, in moments when you feel like you\u2019re facing the imaginary future. One example is when I first visited Zaha Hadid\u2019s BMW plant in Leipzig: I was impressed by the expressiveness and emotion that the building contains. Although at first glance it is \u201conly\u201d concrete, there is so much it promises. It has a sense of expectation or promise that there is a future in which emotion and technology can be combined. I am also touched by the beauty of technical masterpieces from the past \u2013 whether boats, vehicles or other machines. When I see old mechanical engineering art, I immediately feel like reaching for a pen and drawing something myself. The suspension of a vintage Bugatti is pure inspiration for me. It is also inspiring to be able to create something new, as is the very process itself \u2013 i.e. drawing per se. In the BMW Group and specifically for Mini, I get to work in a team in which a great deal of creative work is produced. The drawings on the walls in our studio alone are a daily source of inspiration.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat is the key to creating a vehicle design that won\u2019t capture the spirit of the times until five years into the future? \n\n\nTS: As an automotive designer, you actually have to live a few years ahead of your environment in terms of the work you do. The vehicles we\u2019re currently working on are the brand\u2019s future. So we ask ourselves: what kind of character should they have? How do we create a \u201cwow\u201d effect? And what is aesthetic? We see that aesthetic appeal and taste are often part of a process that thrives on disruptions. So we want to create precisely these disruptions, which are then seen as new, innovative and ground-breaking. Being able to capture this requires a mixture of experience and talent \u2013 and that\u2019s what we seek to draw on at Mini.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat is typical of Mini as far as you are concerned? \n\n\nTS: Mini has two sides for me: on the one hand, the brand has a powerful connection with its history and British origins. On the other hand it is also modern and innovative. This is precisely what makes the Mini identity so fascinating as I see it. Mini is likeable, positive and open. This makes it easy for any driver to establish a direct relationship with the product. At the same time, Mini is self-confident and individual. For me, this combination makes the vehicle and the brand unique. Of course, it also results in high customer expectations \u2013 and rightly so. As a design team, we see it as our task to continually fill the space between tradition and modernity with new life in an authentic way.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nTimo Makinen and Paul Easter in the Mini-Cooper at the 1965 Monte Carlo Rally.\n\n\nWhat will a Mini look like in the future? \n\n\nTS: The future is something positive for me. That\u2019s what drives us all here. A lot is changing and in a state of flux \u2013 I see great opportunities in this that can be drawn on for the purpose of good design. Mini already has various characters that will continue to change. There is a whole Mini family. We\u2019re always thinking about what else might be added. I strongly believe that a Mini will retain its sympathetic expression. To exaggerate somewhat: even if it were to become a self-driving box, the experience in a Mini would always be very personal and radiate sympathy. Just what form that would take is what we\u2019re working on. The Mini experience has to be charged with optimism: when you see your Mini again in the morning, you instantly sense that it\u2019s probably going to be a good day. To be specific \u2013 for me, Mini will definitely remain emotional in the future, despite the ubiquitous process of digitalisation, or indeed precisely because of it. Interaction with a Mini will be personal and above all positive. It will make you smile. Perhaps a Mini will welcome its driver from the outside in the future \u2013 because it has active media projection surfaces on its exterior. The interior will also offer completely new possibilities for personalisation through digitalisation.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nYou were involved in pre-development and helped create the new design language for BMW, among other things. To what extent will you renew exterior design with Mini? \n\n\nTS: Ongoing development of a brand\u2019s design style is always a process \u2013 not something that is decided on overnight and then implemented. With every project, you take one step at a time, consistently driving the renewal forward. Demands in terms of individual mobility are constantly growing: as designers, our everyday work is defined by challenges such as legal requirements and the prerequisites of new technologies. Autonomous driving and the integration of the sensors and connectivity required are examples of this. But we also have to take account of ecological and social developments that have an impact on the design of the future. What is important here is that Mini must continue to be recognisable in hallmark fashion but in line with contemporary style. As you can imagine, that\u2019s no minor undertaking.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe Mini brand recently launched the first all-electric Mini, the Mini Cooper SE. Does the exterior design of a Mini with electric drive differ from one with a conventional combustion engine? \n\n\nTS: Electric mobility represents a technological leap that involves completely different technical requirements. The drive system is relatively small, but the energy storage system is still very large. This means we have significantly different requirements in terms of installation space here, which at the same time give us the opportunity to rethink the car\u2019s proportions. And of course, we want to continue to create a typical Mini style. The Mini Cooper SE already shows the direction this might take, as a first small step. It combines the familiar Mini face with a refreshed aesthetic that appears cleaner and quieter. Its front section is almost completely closed since there are no components that need to be cooled and no other components that need cooling elsewhere as compared to the combustion model. The clear, generous surfaces give it a modern look. At the same time, they improve aerodynamics, thereby increasing range.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat do you want for the future of Mini design and how do you see your role as Head of Exterior Design Mini? \n\n\nTS: I hope that people will continue to talk about Mini icons in the future. Just as the Mini is already an icon today, the Mini of the future should also have this quality. I would like a Mini to still be immediately and authentically recognisable, trigger positive emotions and perhaps also have an impact on other design areas. So generally speaking: the challenge is to retain the iconic character traits of a Mini and translate them into the new technophile world \u2013 so that a Mini doesn\u2019t become a soulless, self-propelled capsule in the future. I have the privilege of being able to work on this as part of a highly motivated international team, and I seek to give these creative minds the opportunity to develop their ideas, turning them into reality in the form of products. After all, the greatest experience for a designer is to actually see their own design in a vehicle on the road. That\u2019s what I want to contribute to.\n\n\nMini News Syndicated\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nGet up to speed with \nthe latest range of four-door Mini\u2019s in Malaysia\n.\n\n\nIs the 5-door Mini Cooper S hatch still a pure Mini? \nClick here\n for our review.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nTrade-in your car for a new Mini!

(Not to mention giving false hope to others who thought that they have found a free spot.)\n\n\nIn all seriousness, Perodua seems to continue going strong despite the current economic climate that we are in.\n\n\nThe recent July has recorded 23,203 vehicles sold, the highest so far for 2020.

The update, introduced last year, features added equipment and an additional RM18,000 on top of the standard RM250,888 retail price. We take the Countryman PHEV Wired for a spin and list the five most exciting features we experienced with this electrified Mini.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nFeatures update\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Wired package comes with a list of add-ons to the Countryman PHEV. The upgrades include an 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment unit that comes compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay (up from the 6.5-inch unit in the standard variant), a Heads-up display that projects essential driver centric information to a screen on the dashboard, three new USB Type C ports that join a single Type-A port, a wireless Qi charger in the center armrest, a 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, and 19-inch Edged Spoke rims.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Wired package comes with 19-inch Edged spoke rims (left), while the standard PHEV features the Yours Masterpiece rims (right).\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nElectrified power\n\n\n\n\nPropelling the Countryman PHEV is a main 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder petrol unit that outputs 134 hp and 220 Nm of torque that drives the front wheels. An electric motor further assists the combustion engine with 87 hp and 165 Nm of torque that drives the rear wheels.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn unison, the total system output is 221 hp and 385 Nm, one that goes through a six-speed Steptronic automatic transmission and Mini\u2019s ALL4 all-wheel drive for the best traction at all weather conditions. Accelerating hard from a standstill will propel this PHEV to the 100 km/h sprint in just 6.8-seconds. Because the PHEV can drive solely on battery power, the 7.6 kWh lithium-ion battery can provide the driver with an all-electric driving range of 40 km.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nLoaded infotainment unit\n\n\n\n\nOne of the joys of the infotainment unit here is not only the larger display, but also the addition of wireless Apple CarPlay that comes as standard with the Wired package. Thanks to the BMW Professional system underneath the Mini Connected software, user interface and experience is easy to navigate and made fun with Mini\u2019s colorful themes and animations.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBecause the Mini Connected system comes with a built-in 4G SIM, the Countryman PHEV includes Intelligent Emergency Call, Concierge Service as well as Remote and eDrive Services that work with Mini\u2019s Connected app. The app provides several remote access features to the car, including options to set climatization, check the lock and unlock statuses, flash headlights, honk the horn and check battery levels amongst others.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDriving dynamics and day-to-day use\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs with most PHEV\u2019s, the vehicle set up prioritizes on electric driving on the get-go, and a power assist when performance is required. With a fully charged battery, the driver can toggle to Max eDrive mode and head to the destination emissions-free, provided it is within accumulated battery range. Driving dynamics of the Countryman PHEV is, in part very similar to the \nCountryman Sport we\u2019ve reviewed\n \u2013 firm and confident with sharp steering and a level of connectedness to the road that Mini is known. The addition of the Heads-up display does keep that focus on the road, a feature that we often praise and look for in \u00a0When it comes to recharging the battery, it takes a mere three hours and a half via a standard three-pin domestic wall socket.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIs it electrifying?\n\n\n\n\nThe picnic bench folds out from under the trunk.\n\n\nWithout a doubt, we dare say that the PHEV Wired is a genuinely wholesome Mini Countryman offered in the market today. However, we are conflicted with recommending the Wired package that costs an RM18,000 premium over the RM250,888 standard Countryman PHEV retail price. As an alternative, if the Mini ownership and experience is one that takes priority over the hybrid powertrain, the Countryman Sports variant priced at RM248,888 is a solid choice.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Mini Countryman background\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Mini Countryman requires no introduction. It represents the brand\u2019s first venture into the compact crossover category and the first modern Mini to come with four-doors. The \nMini Countryman Plug-In Hybrid and Countryman Sports\n variants are the second-generation models on sale in Malaysia. These Countryman variants are locally assembled, which makes Malaysia the first market in the world after the Netherlands to produce these cars.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRead below for more stories!\n\n\nAre you looking at a Mini with more doors? \nClick here\n for our review of the 5-door Cooper S hatch!\n\n\nAre you interested in a 7-seater car in Malaysia?

Five years today, the look has grown on us, and now understand why Mini wanted the extra doors. For a company that styles their cars very differently from the rest of the industry, we can\u2019t fault Mini for wanting to expand their portfolio to suit a wider audience. Does the extra doors make the Cooper hatch finally more convenient? And has it messed with the signature Mini ride and handling? Read on to find out.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe facelifted mid-cycle (LCI) Mini Cooper S 5-door that we tested is the second body variant of the current third-generation hatchback launched back in 2013. The benefits of the 5-door hatch comes down to the increased wheelbase of 72mm which translates to a 61mm more interior width and an additional 15mm of headroom. Boot space totals 278-litres which is 67-litres more than the 3-door sibling.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nLocally as of publication, Mini Malaysia offers the Mini 3-door and 5-door hatchback only in the Cooper S form. Facelifts are commonly known to just feature styling updates and minor tweaks but for this updated model, Mini has put a little extra in. Mechanically the Cooper S features the 2.0-litre 4-cylinder TwinPower turbo engine developing 192 hp and 280 Nm of torque at 1,250 to 4,600 rpm. It is mated to a new 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and a new gear lever for operation. Mini says that they have saved a total of 8 kg by using a carbon fibre reinforced plastic for the engine cover. The claimed century sprint time? 6.8-seconds from a standstill.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe styling updates to the facelift is substantial enough in key areas to tell the facelift apart from before. At the front, the new Mini logo has been reinterpreted to be a two-dimensional flat design with more emphasis on the wings.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt is joined with the new LED headlights that now has a full circle DRLs, and also the Union Jack design taillamps at the rear.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nNot to forget the Mini logo projection on the driver\u2019s side that comes from the wing mirror. To wrap up the exterior package, the 5-door comes with the John Cooper Works Aerodynamic Kit and is paired with 17-inch high-gloss JCW Track rims in black.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBecause the Mini brand is all about individuality and uniqueness, owners will also have the add-on option on the Mini Yours Customised accessories that enables custom components like side scuttles, LED Door Sill Finishers, LED Door Projector and Cockpit Fascias that can be retrofitted to the cars.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n \n\n\nInside, the Mini experience greets you with the JCW treatment on the Steering wheel, Chrome line interior, Leather cross punch upholstery with Alcantra in the centre pads, Black checkered interior surface, and Anthracite headliner.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe infotainment is a 6.5-inch touchscreen unit with additional input from the iDrive-like controller and comes with USB and Bluetooth but unfortunately lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support. Those unfamiliar with Mini\u2019s will be thrilled with the colourful infotainment bezel and ambient lighting more visible at night.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n\n\nThe only quirk we think needs a little work is the adjustable handrest in the centre console that gets in the way of the handbrake.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n \n\n\nOur day-to-day experience with the 5-door has spoilt us. The youthful Mini style attracts almost everyone we\u2019ve showed the car to \u2013 young and old. The brand both post and pre-renaissance always had that magnetic nimbleness and agility, not forgetting its status as an icon.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe Cooper S is no slouch on the road. Power is plentily available from the low end thanks to the turbo and has a wide band for you to pull away when needed. This is assisted with the help from the new 7-speed dual clutch that is very smooth in operations and immediate when paired with the paddle shifters. Steering and handling is very Mini-esque and familiar, with its slightly weighted use but one that is direct, sharp and grips with every turn and corner.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe feel of the 5-door is just as great to drive as the 3-door without compromises, and we dare say a little more comfy compared to the smaller one. Oh and the additional doors at the back? They are smaller than the usual rear-doors on compact cars, but offer definite convenience for the rear-passengers when it comes to getting in and out. As for rear legroom, as long as the passenger or driver in front is of average height, it\u2019s not as bad as looks.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n\n\nAs we conclude, the Mini Cooper S 5-door offers the same dynamics and passion as the 3-door version but with more convenience and practicality of the added space and doors. Curiously enough, the JCW aerokit only comes on the exterior of the 5-door and not on the 3-door car. At a price of RM 259,888 which is RM 10,000 premium on top of the 3-door version, it still is a great choice for those looking at the classic Mini Cooper hatchback. But if it still comes difficult to justify the practicality and size of getting a hatchback like this, Mini still has the \nCountryman Cooper S Sport\n, which at a price of RM 248,888 gets you all the maxi Mini without the drawbacks.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nClick here\n for our impressions of the Mini Cooper S Countryman Sport!\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nEyeing that Mini?

MINI Malaysia solidifies its portfolio of locally assembled vehicles with two new vehicles within the Countryman range.\n\n\nAccording to Harald Hoelzi, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia, the MINI Countryman, assembled in Malaysia was introduced for the first time in 2018. It was an important milestone for the brand as Malaysia became the first market in the world outside the Netherlands to locally assemble the best-selling MINI vehicle. The MINI Countryman serves as the biggest and the most versatile member of the MINI model family. As the first model with an exterior length of more than four meters, four doors, a large tailgate, five seats and all-wheel drive, the MINI Countryman laid the foundations for the brand\u2019s phenomenally successful advance into the premium compact segment. The New MINI Countryman sees a significant optimization in terms of space, versatility, functionality, and ride comfort, with its progressive character reflected in a model variant with a plug-in hybrid drive.\n\n\nThe Latest MINI Countryman Variants\n\n\nExterior\n\n\nBoth the New MINI Cooper S Countryman and the New MINI Cooper SE Countryman now feature the MINI ALL4 Exterior Optic. The differentiated front and rear bumpers with decorative elements and sump guard in aluminum matt provide a rugged look to the new variants. These two variants also feature auto LED headlights with cornering lights, bonnet stripes, roof rails and side sills.\n\n\nThe Union Jack Rear Light now represents an abstract interpretation of the Union Jack, with a more block-designed triangular surface, resulting in stronger lighting. The New MINI Cooper S Countryman is equipped with 19\u201d MINI Turnstile Spoke with Run Flat Tires while the MINI Cooper SE Countryman is equipped with the 19\u201d MINI Yours British Spoke with Run Flat Tires.\n\n\nThese two variants also feature Piano Black Exterior Optic where the headlight surrounds, rear lights, radiator grille, door handles, model lettering on the tailgate and side scuttles are finished in high-gloss black instead of chrome.\u00a0 Owners can also enjoy the convenience of Comfort Access with Easy Opener, as well as take a brake from a long drive on the Picnic Bench which is available in both variants.\n\n\nInterior\n\n\nMoving on to the inside, both the variants feature:\n\n\n\n\n5\u201d digital instrument cluster\n\n\nThe updated 8.8\u201d touchscreen display with MINI Navigation System\n\n\nHead Up Display\n\n\n12-speaker Harman Kardon HiFi Loudspeaker System\n\n\nBuilt-in 4G SIM card with Intelligent Emergency Call, MINI TeleServices, Remote Services and MINI Concierge Service.\n\n\n\n\nSafety\n\n\nThe MINI Cooper S Countryman and the MINI Cooper SE Countryman now include a Driving Assistant system as standard. Like a second pair of eyes, the camera-based driving assistance package enables digital high-beam assistant, speed limit information, person warning with light city braking function and approach control warning with light city braking function. The person warning and approach control warning will warn and safely brake in a speed range of approximately 10 km/h to 60 km/h. At higher speeds, it will warn the driver of potential collisions with vehicles ahead while preconditioning the brakes for a faster brake response and shorter braking distance. The braking functions help to reduce the impact speed if an accident cannot be avoided.\n\n\nEngine and Performance\n\n\nMINI Cooper S Countryman\n\n\nA 2-litre MINI TwinPower Turbo engine sits at the heart of this car, enabling the vehicle to produce 192 hp and 280 Nm of torque which enables it to go from 0-100 km in just 7.5 seconds. This MINI variant is capable of a top speed of 226 km/h and is paired with a 7-Speed Dual Clutch Sports Automatic Transmission. Additionally, the coasting function is available in both MID and GREEN driving modes for the MINI Cooper S Countryman, allowing it to roll along at idling speed, free of any engine braking effect and at minimum fuel consumption.\n\n\nMINI Cooper SE Countryman\n\n\nThis variant is a plug-in hybrid that is powered by a 1.5 litre MINI TwinPower Turbo engine and an electric motor, producing a combined power of 224 hp and 385Nm of torque and is capable of going from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.8 seconds. The top speed of the MINI Cooper SE Countryman is 194 km/h.\n\n\nThe New MINI Cooper SE Countryman features the latest eDrive technology which includes a high-voltage lithium battery with a gross energy content of 10 kWh, providing the new plug-in hybrid a maximum electrically powered range of 48 kilometres. Additionally, the ALL4 all-wheel drive system provides a noticeable boost in terms of traction, driving stability and agility. With its fast and precise electronic control, the system ensures need-based distribution of power between the front and rear wheels in all road surfaces and weather conditions. The cutting-edge eDrive technology in the New MINI Cooper SE Countryman provides owners with three modes \u2013\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAUTO eDrive uses the intelligent energy management system to find the perfect balance between the TwinPower Turbo engine and electric motor.\n\n\nMAX eDrive provides pure electric driving pleasure at speeds up to 120km/h.\n\n\nSave Battery mode, which kicks in automatically when the battery charging status is low. The petrol engine is mainly used in this mode to charge the battery or maintain its charging status at 90%.\n\n\n\n\nThe New MINI Cooper SE Countryman can be charged at home by connecting it to a power socket via the home charging cable, which comes standard with the vehicle. Depending on the voltage of the household power grid, it takes approximately 5 hours @ 2.3kW to charge from 0-100%. Alternatively, the plug-in hybrid vehicle can be charged in one of over 300 public charging facilities across Malaysia, using the public charging cable. The 0-100% charging time with the Public Charging Station is approximately 3 hours 15 minutes @ 3.7kW.\n\n\nMINI Malaysia will provide every MINI Cooper SE Countryman owner with a complimentary MINI Public Charging Cable and a one-year free subscription of unlimited charging at all ChargEV stations nationwide.\n\n\nColors\n, Price and Warranty\n\n\nThese variants are 6 different colors \u2013 Chili Red, White Silver, Island Blue, Thunder Grey, British Racing Green and Sage Green. Both the New MINI Countryman variants are covered by MINI Malaysia\u2019s 5 Years Roadside Assistance program, available for all new MINI vehicles with a comprehensive list of services.\n\n\n\n\nThe New MINI Countryman variants will be available at all authorised MINI dealerships nationwide from today onwards or make booking on the \nMINI Online Shop\n.\n\n\nLooking to get the MINI Copper Countryman variants ? \nSell your car\n\u00a0for the best price, fast payment and no paperwork only at Carsome.\n\n", "Haziq Asyraf\nA self-proclaimed foodie and gamer whose passion for food and games has recently extended to cars.", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

The new generation Cooper hatchback designed by Frank Stephenson was the start of an all-new stand-out design that had a thing for circular shapes and rounded edges. Of course the theme hasn\u2019t changed since then. Mini soon rolled out the Cooper S, an \u201cestate\u201d Clubman model in 2008, a convertible a year later, and the first ever five-door crossover called the Countryman in 2011.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe first generation Mini Countryman. A lot has changed since.\n\n\nThe Countryman at the time, was a great choice for Mini lovers who wanted more space and doors without detracting too much from the Cooper design and that much loved \u2018maximum go-kart\u2019 feel and handling. Yet, considering that the brand now has a range that includes a hardtop, hatchback, convertible, coupe, roadster, clubman, and even five-doors on the Mini hatch, is it customary for any new Mini owner to get the hatch before exploring the range?\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCould you choose the Countryman over the standard Cooper hatchback? We test out Mini\u2019s latest Cooper S Countryman Sports and reach a verdict.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nLaunched about eight months ago in Malaysia, alongside the Cooper S E Countryman (better called the Countryman PHEV), the Countryman Sports and the plug-in are the first Countryman vehicles assembled locally. This makes Malaysia the first market in the world outside of the Netherlands to assemble these cars.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat Mini Malaysia has done with the Countryman line-up with the Sports and PHEV is replace the original Cooper and Cooper S launch models with better feature packed vehicles. Customer choices since are either a PHEV Mini, or the Countryman Sports which is Cooper S flavoured.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIn terms of looks, we think the new second gen Countryman trims the plump with a leaner look compared to its predecessor. Here the Countryman Sports comes as standard with the John Cooper Works Aerodynamic kit. This wraps the front and rear bumpers with a more aggressive look (the front bumper has brake cooling ducts), slaps on a rear diffuser and finishes things off with 19-inch JCW Course Spoke alloys.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nInside, the treatment is peppered with JCW door sills, JCW steering wheel with paddle shifters, and is decked in the Mini Yours Piano Black trim and Cross Punch leather seats.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat did we like? Between the current offerings of the Countryman E and Sports, the latter gets more kit compared to the electrified model. These include the 8.8-inch touchscreen display running on the Mini navigation system professional, 12-speaker Harman Kardon sound system and a larger Mini touch controller. What we absolutely liked about the infotainment system is that it includes split-view, a fast and intuitive user experience and the icing on the cake is that it\u2019s one of the first in the world to wireless Apple CarPlay.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nInfotainment System & Distinct Mini Theme\n\n\nThere\u2019s a lot to love here since the system is very responsive and is essentially BMW\u2019s Professional unit that\u2019s Mini flavoured.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nFor those unfamiliar with the colours and lights in a Mini cabin, the interior colour themes can be cycled through which also corresponds with the ring around the infotainment system.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe ring is also an indicator across various applications including adjusting the audio volume.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIn terms of specifications, the Countryman Sports has a 2.0-litre turbo engine delivering 192 hp with 280 Nm of torque from 1,350 to 4,600 rpm mated to an 8-speed automatic. The exhaust note does have a deep grunt to it on engine start, and is pumped in through the speakers. Even on cruising speeds, you can get it to growl, but with the driving modes of Green, Mid and Sport, you can get the sound down with the modes.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nOur driving experience with the Countryman Sport is greatly positive. Sound is the first thing you\u2019ll notice when the engine starts, with that grunt continuing on when cruising at motorway speeds. The sound is rather prominent, as it is pumped in through the speakers. It gets throatier in sport mode should the driver want to get things loud. In terms of driving and cornering, Mini does get things right despite the increased size. The steering is a little on the weighted side for our liking, but still, the drive is something that will be a joy for casual or even the discerning of drivers.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe ride, thanks to the JCW badge and nature, is a little on the hard side because of the sports suspension. But it shouldn\u2019t be a deterrent as damping is still easy over bumps and cracks. Not to forget the Head-up Display that puts the driving a priority as well.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWho is the Countryman Sports for?\n\n\n\n\nTruthfully, you couldn\u2019t go wrong with any Mini model currently on sale. The reason is due to the fact that Mini designs are so uniquely different from everyone else in the automotive industry, the ownership is what makes the Mini experience worth it.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHaving gone through the Mini range, we feel that the Countryman is a great entry point into the Mini world as we feel it is the most practical Mini (in terms of size) for 4 adults and small luggage for a weekend. And with the latest Sport, it has enough equipment to make everything worthwhile.\n\n\nSo if you are into the Mini lifestyle, vehicle design, like standing out with colours, the Mini range is certainly happy to welcome you into their family.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nInterested in the Countryman PHEV instead? \nClick here\n for the launch rundown!\n\n\nPrefer the smaller Mini hatch?

This decision requires consideration of all financial aspects, including your financial state after you make your purchase such as\n \nmonthly loan installments\n, road tax, insurance, the cost of petrol, maintenance, and emergency repairs.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTable of Contents\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMistake 1: Thinking Used Cars Are Low in Quality\n\n\nMistake 2: Not Doing Your Research when Buying a New Car\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nMistake 3: Not Knowing Your Needs & Wants in a Car \n\n\nMistake 4: Buying a Car through Love at First Sight\n\n\nMistake 5: Not Checking the Car\u2019s History Report when Buying a Used Car\n\n\nMistake 6: Not Test Driving the Car\n\n\nMistake 7: Not Factoring in Other Costs When Buying a Car on Finance\n\n\nMistake 8: Buying a Car on Long-Term Financing\n\n\nMistake 9: Not Understanding the Auto-Finance Contract\n\n\nMake Sweet Memories With Your First Car\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSo, before you head down to your nearest new or used car dealership, here are some mistakes you should avoid on your journey to buying your new car.\n\n\n\n\nMistake 1: Thinking Used Cars Are Low in Quality\u00a0\n\n\nThere is a common misconception about buying a car \u2013 that used cars are unreliable and risky. This is why many car buyers tend to choose a brand new car over a used car as they think used ones are of poor quality and plagued with maintenance issues.\u00a0\n\n\nBut that\u2019s not true as used cars can be an excellent option. Not only are they more affordable, but used cars have also gone through their steepest (first five years) depreciation. This means by the time you purchase the car, it will suffer a slower depreciation. Its lower value also means that it has a lower used car loan amount and it requires a cheaper insurance coverage. Here are some of the differences between buying a new car and a used car for your comparison.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew Car\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUsed Car\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDepreciation Rate\n\n\nDepreciates faster (especially in the first five years).\n\n\nDepreciates slower (the car has gone through the steep depreciation)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOverall Cost\n\n\nRequires you to spend more on service and maintenance.\n\n\nDo not require you to spend as much as the car chosen has been maintained well.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInsurance Coverage\n\n\nHigher coverage.\n\n\nLower coverage.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBut before you head down to a used car dealership, you have to determine your budget including your used car loan amount, what you want in a car, and if the car suits your needs\n\n\n\n\nMistake 2: Not Doing Your Research When Buying a New Car\n\n\nBesides getting advice or recommendations from friends and family, it\u2019s best to do your own research as well. This means shortlisting the brands you want, the type of car you need, as well as other important factors such as boot space! There are different aspects to a car that you would have to factor in when you shop for the right car such as fuel economy, engine capacity, cabin space, safety features, and price.\u00a0\n\n\nThere are plenty of articles and guides online on these important factors and even how to buy a car in Malaysia. Here are some of our guides that you can check out:\n\n\n\n\n10 Tips to Follow Before Buying a Used Car\n\n\nA Guide to Car Loan and Interest Rates in Malaysia\n\n\nCar\u2019s Market Value and Depreciation Rate\n\n\n\n\nYou can also check out \nour\n \ncar reviews\n as a place to start. But always remember to base your research on your needs and wants when buying a car.\n\n\n\n\nMistake 3: Not Knowing Your Needs & Wants in a Car\n\n\nYou shouldn\u2019t base your decision based on just how the car looks. Instead, plan out your budget and lifestyle needs. For instance, is the car for your family, are you buying a vehicle for work purposes, what terrains will you be driving on frequently, how much space do you need in the car, do you need the latest car, and so on. With these answers in mind, you can narrow down your car when you visit a car dealership, and you won\u2019t be easily tricked into buying a car that\u2019s beyond your budget and needs. Avoid getting persuaded to buy a brand new car or the latest car just because it\u2019s cool, unless of course, it\u2019s within your budget and plans to begin with.\n\n\nSo, when buying a car in Malaysia, consider your needs first, and everything else as extra.\n\n\n\n\nMistake 4: Love at First Sight\n\n\nHave you ever set your eyes on a car and thought, that\u2019s the car I want, even without knowing anything about it? Sure, it looks stunning and you might look good driving it, but what good would a two-seater car be when you have a growing family, or what good is an SUV if it\u2019s just going to be a burden on your finances. Before you buy a car, always base it back to your needs, as you can always upgrade your car when you have the funds later on.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0Mistake 5: Not Checking the Car\u2019s History Report When Buying a Used Car\n\n\n\n\nA car that appears to be in good condition doesn\u2019t always reflect the actual situation or the health of the car. This is why it\u2019s important to check its history report, or the inspection report (Carsome discloses all details of its 175-point inspection on its listing!).\u00a0 The history report shows you how well the car is maintained and if it has been serviced according to its schedule. \n\n\nThe inspection report would also show you if the car has been through any major accidents or has any frame damage. If you are not sure of what to look at when purchasing a car, bring along someone who is well-versed with cars to help you go through the reports.\n\n\n\n\nMistake 6: Not Test Driving the Car\n\n\nBefore you jump to buy the car, be sure to test drive it first. Test driving the actual car would allow you to test, examine and identify the overall quality of the car.\u00a0\n\n\nIf possible, you should also test two or more cars that are similar in year, model, and make as they can vary in ride quality, performance, cabin noise, as well as options, among others. Whether you\u2019re test driving a new car or a second-hand one at a used car dealership, pay attention to how it drives, sounds, and smells as you drive it. Anything unusual might mean that the car has some issues.\n\n\nRead:\n\u00a0\nYour Ultimate Guide to Test Driving a Car\n\n\n\n\nMistake 7: Not Factoring in Other Costs When Buying a Car on Finance\n\n\nWhen you buy a car, your overall budget should include more than the price of the car and what its monthly payment would be. You should also include costs like interest rates, additional warranties, maintenance costs, emergency services, petrol fees, yearly road tax, and insurance to your overall budget to get how much you would spend on your car throughout your ownership. Whether you\u2019re buying your first car or have owned several before, this is a crucial step to avoid any financial disasters.\n\n\n\n\nMistake 8: Buying a Car on Long-Term Financing\n\n\nBuyers, especially first-time car buyers are often attracted by longer car financing terms because of its lower monthly payments or zero-down-payment offers. However, and this applies to both used and new cars in Malaysia, be wary as these offers would tie you down to a higher interest amount. Though a longer loan term lowers your monthly loan payments, it indirectly increases the overall cost that needs to be paid.\n\n\nFor example, Ali buys a used car on finance for RM100,000. He takes a loan with a three percent interest rate and a 10 percent down-payment (RM10,000). Here is a breakdown of how much Ali would have to pay if he took a five-year versus a nine-year loan repayment period.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLoan Repayment Period\n\n\n\n\n5 Years\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9 Years\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLoan Calculation Formula\n\n\nTotal Cost of Loan + (Total Cost of Loan x Interest Rate x Years) /Months\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRM90,000 + RM13,500 (RM90,000 x 3% x 5) / 60 Months (5 Years x 12 Months)\n\n\nRM90,000 + RM24,300 (RM90,000 x 3% x 9) / 108 Months (9 Years x 12 Months)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMonthly Installments\n\n\nRM1,725.00\n\n\nRM1,058.33\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTotal Interest Paid\n\n\nRM13,500.00\n\n\nRM24,300.00\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom the calculations above, you can see that Ali would be paying RM10,800 more in interest if he takes out a nine-year car loan, compared to a five-year car loan \u2013 that\u2019s 80 percent higher in interest to fork out! That being said, you should always consult someone who\u2019s well versed in this matter and do your own research first.\n\n\n\n\nMistake 9: Not Understanding the Auto-Finance Contract\n\n\nIf you\u2019re unfamiliar with how to buy a car in Malaysia, it always includes signing various documents or contracts outlining the details of the purchase. It\u2019s always best to make sure you read and understand everything in the documents before signing them. If you buy your car on finance, this will help you avoid complications regarding your car loan down the road.\n\n\n\n\nMake Sweet Memories With Your Car\n\n\n\n\nBuying a car,\n \nwhether new or used, is truly an exciting experience, so take the time to do your research and buy the car that fits your needs and budget. If you\u2019re afraid or unsure of what you\u2019re doing, bring someone along who has been through the experience with you, and pay attention to the mistakes listed above.\n\n\nTo make things easier, you can always check out Carsome\u2019s huge inventory of quality used cars. Covering 175 inspection points, used cars sold by Carsome are Carsome Certified, with no major accidents, frame, or flood damage.

Walaupun ada sebahagian petua ini terbukti berkesan tetapi ada juga petua yang telah disahkan palsu oleh pakar tetapi masih ada lagi orang yang amalkan sehingga viral di media sosial!\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nIni merupakan sebahagian daripada petua jimat minyak yang terbukti TIDAK berkesan jadi mudahlah anda tak mengamalkannya untuk menjimatkan masa dan tenaga anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMitos 1: Kena Panaskan Enjin Kereta Dulu. Tak Boleh Terus Jalan Lepas Dah Hidupkan Enjin! \u2013 PALSU!\u00a0\n\n\nSemua kereta zaman kini mempunyai enjin pancitan minyak (\nfuel-injected\n) dengan komponen Unit Kawalan Elektronik (ECU) untuk mengawal kemasukan campuran udara dan juga bahan api dengan optimum ke dalam enjin apabila ia dihidupkan. Ia juga boleh mengawal nisbah bahan api dan udara apabila enjin semakin panas jadi tak perlu pun untuk biarkan kereta melahu (\nidle\n) supaya enjin menjadi panas sebelum memandu.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nLebih baik sebenarnya untuk anda terus memandu dengan perlahan selepas enjin kereta dihidupkan. Apabila suhu enjin sudah cukup panas (lampu biru penanda suhu tidak lagi menyala apabila tolok suhu mencapai suhu optimum), barulah anda boleh memandu laju sedikit. Cuma janganlah terus tekan pedal minyak sampai lantai di awal-awal pemanduan. Tenang saja, mula memandu dan kereta anda akan tahan lama.\u00a0\n\n\nMitos 2: Kasi Goyang Sikit Kereta Untuk Buang Angin! \u2013 Palsu!\u00a0\n\n\nOh ya, teknik goyang dan goncang kereta semasa isi minyak. Sebab mengapa kereta digoncangkan adalah untuk membuang semua buih udara di dalam tangki minyak, secara teorinya.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPengeluar kereta telah mereka tangki minyak kereta supaya ia boleh menampung jumlah udara dan bahan api yang betul. Kalau anda isi minyak sampai penuh, ia akan memberi kesan buruk kepada injap udara dan lubang saliran yang berfungsi untuk mengelakkan bahan api kereta menjadi tercemar.\u00a0\n\n\nMitos 3: Pam Minyak Dah Berbunyi \u2018Klik!\u2019? Boleh Sambung Isi Lagi! \u2013 PALSU!\u00a0\n\n\nKita sambung daripada poin sebelum ini bahawa kalau terlebih isi minyak boleh merosakkan Sistem Pelepasan Sejatan (\nEvaporative Emission System-EVAP\n) yang berfungsi menyimpan dan menyingkirkan wap bahan api. Nama pun \u2018wap\u2019 jadi jika ada apa-apa cecair yang masuk ke dalam sistem EVAP ini berpunca daripada terlebih isi minyak, kos membaikinya bukan murah.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIsi minyak sehingga terdengar bunyi \u2018klik\u2019 daripada nozel pam menandakan tangki dah penuh sangat digalakkan. Apabila dengar bunyi \u2018klik\u2019, terus berhenti. Jangan risau dengan pam bahan api dan jangan sesekali isi minyak sampai penuh dengan buang segala gelembung udara di dalam tangki. Jangan sesekali cuba.\u00a0\n\n\nMitos 4: Minyak Yang Lagi Mahal Lagi Tahan Lama! \u2013 PALSU!\u00a0\n\n\nMungkin anda pernah terdengar cakap-cakap orang yang mereka ini gunakan minyak RON 95 untuk pemanduan biasa dengan kereta biasa tapi tukar kepada RON 97 untuk perjalanan jauh. Ada juga yang amalkan isi minyak RON 97 untuk perjalanan harian walaupun tak memandu kereta berprestasi tinggi atau kereta mewah.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJika kereta anda merupakan kereta standard tanpa sebarang ubah suai seperti ada turbo atau omboh bertekanan tinggi yang boleh \u2018tekan-tekan preggy\u2019, bahan api dengan rating oktana yang rendah yang dicadangkan oleh pengeluar kereta adalah selamat untuk pemanduan biasa bagi perjalanan jauh dan juga dekat. Isi minyak RON 97 atau lebih tinggi tidak akan buatkan kereta anda berjalan dengan lebih lancar ataupun jimat minyak. Anda takkan berjimat langsung!\n\n\nLain ceritanya jika anda memiliki kereta lama yang tidak mempunyai sensor ketukan atau ECU yang sempurna tetapi bagi kebanyakan kereta moden yang bukan kereta berprestasi tinggi atau telah diubah suai, guna saja minyak dengan nombor RON yang minimum dan sesuai untuk kereta anda pun sudah mencukupi.\u00a0\n\n\nMitos 5: Isi Minyak Waktu Malam, Boleh Dapat Lebih Sikit Minyak! \u2013 PALSU!\u00a0\n\n\nKita semua pernah buat benda ni, sekurang-kurangnya sekali \u2013 isi minyak pada waktu malam kerana ia lebih sejuk dan minyak tidak akan tersejat. Ini telah dibuktikan palsu banyak kali tapi kami tetap akan jelaskan sekali lagi kepada anda semua tentang ini.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKesemua minyak disimpan di bawah tanah di mana suhu persekitaran tidak akan memberikan kesan kepada keadaan minyak. Suhu minyak tetap sama sekalipun anda isi minyak pada hari yang paling panas. Kalau anda isi minyak 10 liter, maka anda tetap akan dapat 10 liter minyak daripada pam minyak.\u00a0\n\n\nBeli Kereta Jimat Minyak daripada CARSOME (Ini Bukan Mitos!)\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda nak memandu dengan jimat, beli saja kereta yang jimat minyak dari awal. Ada banyak pilihan kereta cekap tenaga yang ada untuk anda.\u00a0\n\n\nAda kereta cekap tenaga (EEV) seperti \nPerodua Axia\n hinggalah kepada kereta separa hybrid dan juga kenderaan hybrid elektrik pasang masuk (PHEV), sama ada yang baharu ataupun terpakai, bergantung kepada bajet anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nNak pilihan kereta pramilik yang terbaik, hanya CARSOME pilihan terbaik untuk anda!

Akibatnya, banyak mitos dan buah mulut yang timbul mengenainya. Walaupun sesetengah daripadanya adalah berasaskan fakta, kebanyakan dari mitos dan cerita tersebut langsung tidak munasabah.\n\n\nBersama kami membongkar mitos kereta terpakai yang biasa anda dengari di sini untuk meningkatkan keyakinan anda semasa membeli kereta terpakai.\n\n\n\n\nKereta Terpakai Adalah Kereta Buruk\n\n\nTidak dinafikan bahawa ada yang menjual kereta mereka kerana ia sudah lama. Tetapi, ramai orang menjual kereta mereka bukan kerana ia sudah menjadi besi buruk, sebaliknya mereka mungkin cuma mahu menaik taraf kepada kereta yang lebih besar atau mahu membeli kereta yang lebih kecil untuk menjimatkan kos.\n\n\nKereta moden telah direka untuk digunakan selama bertahun-tahun lamanya, jadi jangan teragak-agak untuk mempertimbangkan kereta terpakai yang mungkin baru berumur beberapa tahun.\n\n\nKereta Terpakai Tidak Selamat Seperti Kereta Baharu\n\n\nKereta terpakai mempunyai semua ciri keselamatan moden seperti beg udara sisi, brek antikunci, dan kawalan kestabilan. Kebanyakan ciri-ciri ini telah diwartakan wajib untuk disertakan dalam kereta-kereta baharu. Keselamatan juga merupakan salah satu ciri yang diutamakan oleh pengedar kereta selama bertahun-tahun. Jadi, melainkan anda membeli kereta yang sudah berusia puluhan tahun, anda tidak perlu risau tentang keselamatan.\n\n\nKereta Dengan Jarak Perbatuan Tinggi Adalah Tidak Elok\n\n\nWalaupun jarak perbatuan tinggi bermaksud kereta sudah berjalan jauh, ia tidak bermakna anda perlu mengelakkan kereta tersebut. Jarak perbatuan yang tinggi mungkin menunjukkan bahawa pemilik kereta lebih banyak melakukan pemanduan di lebuh raya, yang kurang memberi tekanan kepada kereta berbanding dengan pemanduan di bandar. Selagi kereta diservis dengan kerap, jarak perbatuan yang tinggi tidak akan memberi anda masalah.\n\n\nKereta Terpakai Rendah Nilainya\n\n\nIni adalah mitos yang langsung tidak betul. Anda mungkin pernah dengar bahawa kereta baharu akan hilang nilainya sebaik sahaja ia keluar dari pusat pengedar. Walhal, kereta terpakai sebenarnya mempunyai nilai yang baik kerana cuma pemilik asal yang menerima kesan susut nilai, yang boleh mencapai sehingga 20% pada tahun pertama. Penyusutan nilai ini merupakan tawaran hebat bagi anda sebagai seorang pembeli kereta terpakai.\n\n\n\n\nHarga Kereta Terpakai Berbeza-beza\n\n\nMemang benar bahawa harga kereta terpakai akan berbeza bergantung kepada tahun, jarak perbatuan, dan keadaan kereta walaupun antara model yang sama. Namun, dengan adanya platform kereta terpakai dalam talian, pengguna kini lebih berpengetahuan dan hal ini disedari oleh pihak pengedar kereta terpakai. Oleh itu, terdapat banyak insentif untuk membuat penyeragaman harga. Syarikat insurans juga menggunakan penetapan harga yang standard berdasarkan tahun dan model untuk mengira harga premium insurans.\n\n\nNamun begitu, \npandemik COVID-19 telah mendorong peningkatan harga kereta terpakai\n kerana keperluan untuk memandu semakin meningkat dan bekalan kereta baharu pula semakin berkurangan.\n\n\nAnda Tidak Boleh Memohon Pembiayaan untuk Kereta Terpakai\n\n\nDalam permohonan pembiayaan kenderaan, tiada perbezaan ketara antara kereta terpakai dengan kereta baharu. Seperti semua pinjaman, pihak bank akan menyemak gaji dan skor kredit anda untuk menentukan kelayakan anda dalam mendapatkan pinjaman serta kadar faedah yang akan dikenakan.\n\n\nCarsome menawarkan pembiayaan untuk kereta Carsome Certified melalui \nCarsome Capital\n, yang dapat mengurangkan beban kewangan pemilikan kereta dengan tempoh pinjaman sehingga sembilan tahun dan margin pembiayaan yang tinggi.\n\n\nTiada Waranti untuk Kereta Terpakai\n\n\nIni tidak semestinya benar. Kereta baharu biasanya disertakan dengan waranti selama lima tahun. Jika ia dijual lebih awal daripada tempoh itu, anda masih boleh memanfaatkan baki tempoh waranti yang masih ada.\n\n\nUsah Risau Tentang Mitos Bila Anda Carsome Je Lah\n\n\nDi Carsome, kami bukan sahaja menepis mitos, kami juga mengamalkan ketelusan dengan setiap kereta yang kami jual. Semua kereta yang disenaraikan di Carsome disertakan dengan gambar yang terang dan jelas, manakala kereta yang terpilih turut disertakan dengan pandangan 360 darjah untuk bahagian dalaman dan luarannya.

Much in the same light as the Incredible Hulk, driving on Malaysian roads, especially during rush hour, can be an extremely infuriating experience that evokes anger within us.\n\n\nThis is precisely the reason a good infotainment system is necessary these days. It can be an excellent balm as it keeps us entertained and connected while on the road. After all, music soothes the savage beast, doesn\u2019t it?\n\n\nNonetheless, it\u2019s pertinent to remember that infotainment is a portmanteau word formed from the blending of information and entertainment.\n\n\nThe humble entertainment source in a vehicle has had to rapidly expand to include all the necessary information related to the vehicle, its subsystems, and be connected to our smart devices as well.\n\n\n\n\nSimply put, connectivity is now the foundation of a vehicle\u2019s infotainment and has risen in importance to become a key consideration for many car buyers. After all, many of the non-mechanical functions such as music, navigation, and calls are all controlled via the infotainment system.\n\n\nNowadays, most new cars come equipped with some sort of in-house developed infotainment interface but many of them lack the user-friendliness and simplicity that most users desire.\n\n\nThe primary purpose of a good infotainment system has to be user-friendliness and minimizing distractions. Drivers need to be able to access the key functions quickly without taking their eyes off the road.\n\n\nFurthermore, most of us carry a smartphone with us at all times anyway and the device is essentially the nerve center for all the aforementioned functions. Logically speaking, the smartphone should be the best interface for a vehicle\u2019s infotainment.\n\n\nEnter Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.\n\n\nRead More:\u00a0\nWhat is a Car Head Unit & 4 Best Brands in Malaysia\n\n\nWhat Are Android Auto and Apple CarPlay?\n\n\nAs the name implies, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are software developed to harness the apps on your smartphone and interface them with the vehicle\u2019s infotainment screen. Generally, it places an emphasis on the core apps used when on the road, such as navigation (Google Maps or Waze), music (Spotify), calls, and voice recognition (Google Assistant or Siri).\n\n\nThis is very different from mirroring your smartphone on the vehicle\u2019s screen as Android Auto and Apple CarPlay present the apps in a layout that aims to reduce distraction from driving and is easily accessible.\n\n\nHow Do They Function?\n\n\nIf the vehicle already comes equipped with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support, accessing it is as simple as plugging in your phone via a wired USB connection. This will launch the program or prompt you to activate it if you wish to.\n\n\nRecently, wireless connections for both have been developed but you\u2019ll need to check if the version you have supports it.\n\n\nThe smartphone itself needs to be able to support either program as well. Any Android device running on Android 10 or 11 should have it fitted as standard. Fret not if your Android device is running on an older version of the operating system though, you can install it manually by downloading the right Android application package (APK) and running it on the smartphone. Be sure to download the file from a trusted source and not load up a virus on your device. Alternatively, if Android Auto is supported in your region, the Google Play Store will carry it.\n\n\nFor iPhones, anything running iOS 7.1 or newer will have Apple CarPlay.\n\n\nRead More:\u00a0\nKeeping Your Car\u2019s Air-Conditioning Cool & Problems to Look Out For\n\n\n\n\nWhat Are Their Benefits?\n\n\nConnectivity is a key aspect of almost every facet of our lives and most of it is done via our smartphones. This also applies to driving or being on the road. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay fundamentally make it easier, but more importantly, safer, to access apps closely related to driving.\n\n\nThis comprises Google Maps or Waze for navigating, Spotify for music and so much more. As mentioned before, digital voice assistants like Google Assistant and Apple\u2019s Siri can now make interfacing with your apps an almost hands-free experience.\u00a0\n\n\nRemember when we mentioned earlier that the best infotainment interfaces are ones that minimize distractions and the time that you take your eyes off the road? Thus far, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay appear to be the best at that.\n\n\nSeeing that our smartphones are constantly updated with the latest versions of the operating system or apps, you\u2019ll most likely always have the latest and best versions of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay on hand. On the other hand, an in-house infotainment interface from the carmaker wouldn\u2019t be as straightforward as systems that don\u2019t have over-the-air updates (OTA) will likely require a visit to an authorized service center to do so.\n\n\nMy Car Didn\u2019t Come with Either One. Can I Upgrade to It?\n\n\nSeeing that Android Auto and Apple CarPlay require licensing from the developer, it used to be available only on more premium vehicles. However, we love ourselves some economies of scale, and over time, more carmakers have begun to integrate the interface in their vehicles.\n\n\nNow, you can find entry-level vehicles such as the \nHonda City\n and \nToyota Vios\n that support Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.\n\n\nIf your vehicle didn\u2019t come with either one or is a much older model that has a traditional single-DIN or double-DIN head unit, there are aftermarket options you can upgrade to.\n\n\nFirstly, we\u2019ll elaborate on vehicles that don\u2019t support either interface but come with an in-house infotainment interface. The aftermarket does have options that allow installation of the software into the vehicle\u2019s infotainment system. This isn\u2019t something that is possible for all vehicles so you\u2019ll need to shop around and find a reputable party that can verify if it\u2019s possible and carry out the necessary coding. If this isn\u2019t possible, you\u2019ll have to install an aftermarket head unit that supports it.\n\n\nFor vehicles with a more traditional DIN head unit, the aftermarket does sell double-DIN players that support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The reason most of the aftermarket options are double-DIN sized is to accommodate the touchscreen display.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nHow to Choose the Right Car Window Tint in Malaysia\n\n\nHow Much Will It Cost to Upgrade?\n\n\nGenerally, going with an aftermarket double-DIN head unit won\u2019t be on the affordable end of the pricing spectrum as licensing fees see these head units easily surpass the RM1,500 mark and are usually closer to RM2,000.\n\n\nOn the chance your vehicle\u2019s existing infotainment can support aftermarket installation of the software, things could be a lot easier on the wallet with prices ranging in the hundreds depending on the requirements.\n\n\n\n\nWhat about Those Android Head Units for Sale Online?\n\n\nYou\u2019re probably referring to Android Automotive. As confusing as the names can be, this is very different from Android Auto in the sense that Android Automotive is a base Android platform running directly on your vehicle\u2019s hardware that serves as the vehicle\u2019s infotainment system.\n\n\nThink of the open-source system as an operating system for your vehicle\u2019s infotainment housed directly in your vehicle. It\u2019ll support all Android apps.\n\n\nThe primary difference between Android Auto and Android Automotive is that the former was designed with safety, minimal distraction, and user-friendliness in mind. Its user interface makes the usage of your phone apps while driving much easier.\n\n\nOn the other hand, the latter might be akin to having your Android smartphone integrated into the vehicle but it isn\u2019t as easy to navigate while driving.\n\n\nNonetheless, being open source means that Android Automotive head units are much more affordable, usually under RM500.\n\n\nConclusion\n\n\nSo, in the end, it boils down to the cardinal question of \u201cIs Android Auto and Apple CarPlay really necessary?\u201d\n\n\nBased on our experience, the answer is a resounding yes. Seeing that connectivity is fundamental to the driving experience and the source of said connectivity is via the smartphone, having an interface designed around easy usability while driving is paramount to safety and convenience.\n\n\nYou\u2019ll be fine without it but if possible, it\u2019s best to have it.\n\n\nCARSOME has a wide selection of pre-owned cars that are equipped with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay for a smooth journey.

The Mitsubishi XPANDER is the car to look out for as it has a bit more space and practicality of an SUV but at an affordable price.\n\n\nWhy the Mitsubishi XPANDER Is Perfect for You\n\n\nThough we might not know when exactly will the Mitsubishi XPANDER be launched in Malaysia, just seeing it live in Mid Valley during its teaser preview on the 8\nth\n to the 13\nth\n of September was enough to make our heart skip a beat in excitement.\n\n\n\n\nThis car, being the very first car to be manufactured locally by the brand, is created to fight against the Honda BR-V, its worthy competitor. It was originally built and introduced in Indonesia back in 2018 and was supplied to various ASEAN countries like Thailand, Philippines, and Vietnam. It has also sold over 256, 000 models ever since which is not surprising as it is again, affordable, comfortable, and practical.\n\n\nSome great aspects of this car that would make the public pick this rather than the versatile Honda include:\n\n\nSize \u2013 \nThe obvious first reason. Just looking at the Mitsubishi XPANDER, and you would be able to see that it is not only wider but is also longer and taller than the Honda BR-V. This generally bigger SUV converts into bigger interior space and its long wheelbase allows 7 people to sit in it comfortably.\n\n\n\n\nThis XPANDER is 4,475 mm long, 1,750 mm wide, and 1,730 mm tall and it is 205 mm above ground, which makes it elevated enough to handle potholes and bumpy roads. It also has a larger boot, and the back seats can be folded down to make more space.\n\n\nEngine\n \u2013 Powering the Mitsubishi XPANDER is a 1.5-litre in-line 4 DOHC, 16-valve with MIVEC engine churning out a maximum power of 105 PS at 6000 rpm and a peak torque of 141 Nm at 4000 rpm. The engine has a good power delivery, which suits the SUV\u2019s character. The refinement level is also good. \nFor transmission, it is mated to a 4-speed automatic gearbox or a 5-speed manual that sends the power to the front wheels. Speaking about the fuel economy, the 1.5-litre unit returns an impressive mileage of 22.9 kmpl.\n\n\nExterior\n \u2013 Comparing it to its rival, the XPANDER will definitely win in a beauty contest. The front of the car looks like a baby Mitsubishi Triton thanks to the facelift that it would be receiving, giving Malaysians the latest updated vehicle.\n\n\n\n\nThe sporty aura of this car can be seen from the Dynamic Shield front grille, sleek daytime running lights and the edgy front bumper. The bumper is also embedded with headlamps and this combined with the LED tail lamps gives the car a more futuristic look.\n\n\nTechnology\n \u2013 The Mitsubishi XPANDER is built with a large 7inch infotainment system with a touchscreen display that features USB, AUX, Bluetooth and MirrorLink connectivity. The new Malaysian model is also expected to have Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. The 6 speakers\u2019 sound system with 2 tweeters gives you a chance to blast your music out loud without compromising on the quality. Other technologies that can be found include a 360-degree camera, GPS navigation system, push to start/stop button, and 12V power outlet in the center console.\n\n\nSafety\n \u2013 \nLike all the other Mitsubishi models, the XPANDER is also a tough car built on Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) body with enhanced collision safety performance. The Malaysian-spec XPANDER would most likely receive a whole lot of safety features including dual SRS airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist, hill start assist, active stability & traction control, parking sensor, ISOFIX child anchor, Immobilizer with security alarm, auto door relock system and lane change turn signal system.\n\n\nSumming up, you cannot get a better SUV that is packed with all the above goodies than the \nMitsubishi\n XPANDER. If you would like to be the first one to know when the car will be officially sold in Malaysia, you can fill up a form on the \nMitsubishi website\n with your contact details.

Honda Civic, Perodua Alza dan beberapa model lain merupakan antara model kereta yang dijangka akan memasuki pasaran tempatan tahun ini.\n\n\n\n\nTahun Baru, Kereta Baru: 5 Model Kereta Baru yang Dijangka Akan Dilancarkan Tahun 2022\n\n\nCarsome menyenaraikan lima (5) model kereta baru 2022 yang akan membuat kemunculan pada tahun 2022 ini. Semoga perkongsian ini dapat membantu anda sekiranya anda merancang untuk membeli kereta baru 2022 dan menjual kereta lama anda.\n\n\n1. Kereta Perodua Baru: Perodua Alza\n\n\nModel generasi kedua ini bakal menggantikan model \nPerodua Alza\n generasi pertama yang dibina berasaskan platform Daihatsu Boon Luminas. Meskipun model Alza generasi pertama telah melalui beberapa fasa \nfacelift\n atau naik taraf kosmetik setelah lebih 12 tahun bertapak dalam pasaran tempatan, ramai dalam kalangan peminat Perodua Alza masih menanti-nantikan kehadiran model baharu ini. Model \nPerodua Alza D27A\n generasi baharu ini dikatakan bakal dilengkapi dengan enjin 1.5 dual VVT-i, transmisi Dual Mode CVT dan dibina berasaskan platform Daihatsu New Global Architecture \u2013 turut berkongsi platform yang sama dengan Toyota Avanza dan Daihatsu Xenia.\n\n\nPelancaran model kereta terbaru Perodua Alza ini pada mulanya dijadualkan pada suku pertama 2022. Namun begitu, pelancarannya telah ditunda kepada suku kedua 2022 disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor antaranya masalah kekurangan bekalan komponen dan cip komputer daripada pembekal.\n\n\n2. Honda Baru 2022: Honda BR-V\n\n\nBerdasarkan spesifikasi untuk pasaran Indonesia, model Honda BR-V ini dikuasakan oleh enjin empat silinder 1.5 litre i-VTEC dengan DOHC. Enjin ini berupaya menghasilkan 121 PS pada 6,600 rpm dan 145 Nm tork pada 4,300 rpm. Model SUV kompak baharu ini dijangka bakal memberi saingan sengit kepada model popular Malaysia seperti Perodua Aruz, Toyota Rush dan Mitsubishi Xpander. Model \nHonda BR-V\n baharu ini juga turut dijangka akan dilengkapi dengan teknologi \nHonda Sensing\n seperti ciri brek kecemasan autonomi, kawalan pemanduan adaptif, bantuan pengekalan lorong dan banyak lagi.\n\n\nSelain itu, model ini juga turut mencatatkan skor ujian keselamatan ASEAN NCAP yang baik. Harga Honda BR-V 2022 dianggarkan dijual pada harga sekitar RM 86,726 hingga RM 93,420 (tidak termasuk\n cukai jualan kereta (SST)\n atau mungkin lebih tinggi bergantung pada situasi pasaran semasa.\n\n\n3. Proton Baru 2022: Proton X90\n\n\nTerdapat desas-desus dalam kalangan peminat automotif bahawa \nProton\n X90 akan membuat kemunculan pada tahun ini. Ia berdasarkan kelibat \nGeely\n Haoyue atau Geely Okavango (nama untuk pasaran antarabangsa) yang dilihat dipandu uji di jalan-jalan utama di ibu kota baru-baru ini. Model ini dikatakan bakal menjadi asas bagi model Proton X90 baharu. Haoyue merupakan model SUV tujuh tempat duduk (turut menampilkan varian lima tempat duduk) terbesar dalam \nlineup\n Geely. Berdasarkan spesifikasi untuk pasaran Filipina, Geely Haoyue dikuasakan oleh enjin 1.5 liter turbo tiga silinder. Model kereta ini dijual di Filipina pada harga sekitar 1,208,000 peso (RM102,000) hingga 1,328,000 peso (RM112,100).\n\n\n4. Kereta Toyota Baru: Toyota Avanza\n\n\nToyota\n Avanza generasi ketiga telah dilancarkan di Indonesia menggantikan model generasi kedua yang sudah pun lebih sedekad berada dalam pasaran. Model MPV baharu ini dibina berasaskan platform Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) yang turut menyokong model-model kereta lain seperti Toyota Raize, Daihatsu Rocky dan \nPerodua Ativa\n. Apa yang menarik, \nToyota Avanza\n generasi baharu ini merupakan varian pertama yang menggunakan pacuan roda hadapan \u2013 model generasi sebelum ini menggunakan pacuan roda belakang sahaja.\n\n\nSelain itu, ia turut menampilkan pilihan enjin yang sama dengan varian sebelum ini. Model ini dilengkapi dengan enjin empat silinder DOHC 1NR-VE 1.3 liter aspirasi semula jadi dengan Dual VVT-i. Ia berupaya menghasilkan 98 PS pada 6,000 rpm dan 121 Nm tork pada 4,200 rpm.

Perodua D55L 2021\n\n\nKredit: \npaultan.com\n\n\nSUV kompak baharu \nPerodua\n ini bukan lagi rahsia. Perodua D55L (bukan nama rasmi) dijangka akan menjadi produk jenama kereta nasional tempatan yang akan menarik jumlah jualan yang positif berdasarkan populariti model SUV semasa hari ini. Model kereta yang sepatutnya membuat kemunculan pada tahun ini ditangguhkan kepada tahun 2021 ekoran \nPerintah Kawalan Pergerakan\n \n(PKP) yang dijalankan di Malaysia bermula Mac lalu. Perodua mendedahkan model ini akan dibina berdasarkan \nDaihatsu New Global Architecture\n (DNGA) yang menjadi asas kepada model \nRocky\n (Perodua D55L dijangka akan menggunakan platform yang sama dengan \nRocky) \ndan Toyota Raize baharu.\n\n\nTarikh pengumuman model ini masih lagi menjadi tanya tanya. Malah, jangkaan harga model Perodua D55L ini dipasaran masih lagi misteri. Namun begitu, ia dijangka dijual pada harga sekitar RM50,000 \u2013 lebih kurang sama dengan harga Perodua Myvi. Ia secara tidak langsung memberi kepelbagaian pilihan model kepada pengguna dan peminat jenama Perodua ini.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nSUV Perodua Ativa Dilancarkan \u2013 Harga Bermula RM61,500, Lebih Murah daripada Harga Tentatif\n\n\n2. Honda City Hatchback 2021\n\n\nKredit: \npaultan.com\n\n\nHonda City \nHatchback\n telah membuat kemunculan di pasaran Thailand baru-baru ini. Model ini tampil dalam tiga varian iaitu varian S+, SV dan RS. Model ini dijangka dijual di pasaran Thailand pada harga 599,000 baht hingga 749,000 baht (kira-kira RM80,536 hingga RM100,703). Honda City \nHatchback\n ini dikuasakan oleh enjin 1.0 liter (998 cc) VTEC Turbo 3 silinder yang dapat menjana 122 PS pada 5,500 rpm dan 173 Nm tork dari 2,000 hingga 4,500 rpm.\n\n\nSelain itu, terdapat khabar angin yang mengatakan bahawa Honda Jazz generasi keempat tidak lagi akan memasuki pasaran Malaysia dan model Honda Jazz akan digantikan dengan Honda City \nHatchback\n ini. Jika benar, Honda City di Malaysia boleh didapati dalam dua segmen \u2013 \nhatchback\n dan sedan sama seperti model Mazda 2. Dengan mengambil kira harga jualan semasa model Honda City \nHatchback\n di Thailand, ia mungkin dijual pada harga bermula RM80,000 hingga RM100,000 bergantung pada jenis varian.\n\n\n3. Proton Persona 2021\n\n\nKehadiran \nProton X50\n dalam keluarga baharu Proton semestinya suatu pencapaian yang boleh dibanggakan. Selepas perlancaran Proton X50 baru-baru ini, Proton kini bersedia untuk menampilkan Proton Persona 2021 kepada rakyat Malaysia. Berdasarkan kemunculan versi \ncamouflage\n Proton Persona 2021 baru-baru ini, Proton Persona baharu dijangka akan melalui perubahan pada rupa kosmetik dengan rekaan bampar dan lampu belakang baharu. Manakala, dari aspek teknikal pula, Proton Persona 2021 akan menggantikan transmisi CVT dengan transmisi automatik 4 kelajuan jenis \ntorque converter \nsekali gus\u00a0menjadikan model ini model kedua yang melalui perubahan transmisi selepas model\n Saga 2019\n.\n\n\nBuat masa ini, kami masih belum dapat mengesahkan harga model ini akan dijual. Namun begitu, jika mengambil kira harga model Proton Persona sedia ada di pasaran, Proton Persona 2021 mungkin dijual dalam lingkungan harga antara RM40,000 hingga RM60,000.\n\n\n4. Volkswagen Golf GTi 2021\n\n\nKredit: \npaultan.com\n\n\nVolkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia\n (VPCM) mengesahkan bahawa Volkswagen Golf generasi kelapan baharu akan dilancarkan di Malaysia tidak lama lagi. Perancangan model VW Golf Mk 8 untuk memasuki Malaysia tertunda disebabkan oleh pandemik Covid-19 selain Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan dan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan Bersyarat yang dikenakan di sesetengah kawasan di Malaysia ketika ini. Berbanding model Golf biasa, Mk8 GTi dijangka akan tampil lebih garang dan agresif \u2013 paip ekzos bulat berkembar di setiap sisi, lebih \nsporty\n dengan lampu kabus berbentuk X, \nspoiler\n atap yang lebih panjang dan bampar belakang. Volkswagen Golf GTi 2021 secara rasmi dilancarkan di UK dengan harga bermula RM203K \u2013 semestinya harga yang sangat berbaloi untuk memiliki model ini.\n\n\nModel Golf baharu ini juga menjadi model \nVolkswagen\n \npertama yang akan menggunakan logo Volkswagen yang dikemas kini. Logo Volkswagen baharu tampil dengan 2 dimensi berkontra tinggi yang tampil lebih elegan bersesuaian dengan era digital kini. Ia membolehkan logo ini tampil lebih baik di semua platform digital atau fizikal.\n\n\n5. Toyota Corolla Cross 2021\n\n\nKredit:\n toyota.co.th\n\n\nTidak sampai sebulan selepas pelancaran Toyota Corolla Cross di Thailand, SUV segmen C ini kini dilancarkan di Indonesia. Model ini tampil dalam dua varian iaitu petrol dan hibrid dengan spesifikasi yang hampir sama untuk kedua-dua model. Model petrol tampil dengan enjin empat silinder 2ZR-FE Dual VVT-i\u00a0 yang berkuasa menghasilkan 140 PS pada 6,400 rpm dan tork 172 Nm pada 4,000 rpm. Enjin ini digabungkan dengan transmisi CVT. Manakala, model hibrid pula menggunakan versi enjin kitaran \nAtkinson\n, 2ZR-FXE . Ia mampu menghasilkan 98 PS pada 5.200 rpm dan 142 Nm pada 3.600 rpm. Enjin ini dipadankan dengan motor elektrik yang menghasilkan 72 PS dan 163 sekali gus menghasilkan jumlah output sistem sebanyak 122 PS.\n\n\nToyota Corolla Cross 2021 merupakan varian SUV pertama bagi jenama ini.\u00a0 Dengan pertumbuhan berterusan pasaran SUV di Malaysia, Corolla Cross merupakan antara pilihan terbaik untuk anda yang ingin memiliki model segmen popular ini. Dengan mengambil kira harga Toyota Corolla Cross 2021 yang ditawarkan di Thailand dan Indonesia, ia dijangka dijual di Malaysia pada harga bermula dari RM131,000 hingga RM142,700.\n\n\n6. Proton Iriz 2021\n\n\nSelain Proton Persona, \nProton Iriz\n juga turut dijangka akan merancakkan lagi industri automotif tahun 2021. Menurut sumber, Proton tidak akan memperkenalkan sebarang model baharu tahun hadapan. Namun sebaliknya, Proton hanya akan memfokuskan pada kemas kini barisan model sedia ada. Proton Iriz 2021 dijangka tampil dengan \u2018rupa\u2019 dan transmisi baharu \u2013 Proton akan menggantikan transmisi CVT bagi model Iriz sama seperti Proton Persona.\n\n\nDalam kebanyakan \nspyshot\n yang dijalankan, Proton Persona 2021 dijangka akan menampilkan \nhead unit\n terapung yang lebih besar berbanding \nhead unit\n model sebelumnya. Ia mungkin akan menggunakan \nGeely Key User Interface\n (GKUI) terbaharu seperti yang diguna pakai pada model Proton X50 2020. Maka, tidak mustahil Proton Iriz 2021 juga akan menerima kemas kini yang sama seperti Proton Persona 2021. Harga Proton Iriz 2021 dianggarkan akan dijual di pasaran Malaysia dengan harga bermula RM35,000 hingga RM50,000 bergantung pada jenis varian.\n\n\n7. Toyota Harrier 2021\n\n\nKredit: \nglobal.toyota\n\n\nToyota akan melancarkan model Toyota Harrier 2021 baharu yang dijangka akan tiba di Malaysia tidak lama lagi. Setakat hari ini, Toyota Harrier merupakan model SUV paling popular di Malaysia dan merupakan model SUV terpakai paling laris mengalahkan model SUV daripada Mercedes-Benz dan BMW. Toyota Harrier 2021 dijangka tampil lebih kemas dengan ciri yang diperbaik dan sistem keselamatan Toyota terkini. Model di bawah UMW Toyota ini dijangka akan memberi saingan yang hebat terutamanya dalam kategori SUV di Malaysia tahun hadapan.\n\n\nToyota Harrier 2021 baharu ini akan dilengkapi dengan \nToyota Safety Sense\n \u2013 sistem keselamatan prapelanggaran yang dapat mengesan pejalan kaki pada waktu siang dan malam, penunggang basikal pada waktu siang. Selain itu, ia turut dilengkapi dengan\n Intelligent Clearance Sonar\n dengan \nParking Support Brakes\n yang membantu mengurangkan kerosakan akibat perlanggaran semasa memandu dalam kelajuan rendah di tempat letak kereta. Harga Toyota Harrier terkini yang dijual di Malaysia adalah antara RM256,396 hingga RM234,510. Justeru, anda boleh menjangkakan sedikit peningkatan harga bagi model Toyota Harrier 2021 ini di pasaran Malaysia.\n\n\nSenarai Model Kereta Paling Dinantikan Mengikut Jenama\n\n\nCarsome turut menyenaraikan model kereta lain yang turut dijangka akan mewarnai pasaran automatif tempatan tahun 2021 mengikut jenama.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJenama\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModel\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBMW\n\n\n5 Series 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6 Series GT 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHonda\n\n\nCity Hatchback 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCivic 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLexus\n\n\nLexus LS 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMazda\n\n\nBT-50 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCX-9 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMX-30 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMercedes-Benz\n\n\nC-Class 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nS-Class 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nE-Class 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGLA 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMG\n\n\nHS 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZS EV 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNissan\n\n\nGrand Livina 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKicks 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNavara 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSerena 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerodua\n\n\nPerodua D55L 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProton\n\n\nIriz 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPersona 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSubaru\n\n\nSubaru XV 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nToyota\n\n\nCamry 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCorolla Cross 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFortuner 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHarrier 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVolkswagen\n\n\nArteon 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGolf GTi Mk8 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPolo 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVolvo\n\n\nVolvo S90 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAudi\n\n\nA3 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQ7 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFerrari\n\n\nFerrari Roma 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJaguar\n\n\nJaguar F-Type 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLand Rover\n\n\nLand Rover Defender 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPorsche\n\n\nPorsche 911 Turbo 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKami di Carsome akan terus mengemas kini senarai ini dengan lebih banyak maklumat dari semasa ke semasa.

But many new safety features come with specific names and jargons, and that could be a challenge for new car buyers to understand. While it is best to have it all for preventive safety, some could be more important to you than others.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAt Carsome, we have put together a list of car safety features listed in the \nAustralia NCAP (ANCAP) safety website\n that will make your life easier in preventing and lessening the chances of you getting into a major accident. You can also learn more from the website on many other safety features not listed here.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nVehicle Stability Control (VSC)\n \u2013 Also known as Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), or Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), this safety system stabilizes your vehicle during an emergency avoidance. During such an event, the sensors in the vehicle, including ABS, steering and throttle, come together to assess the potential skid, cutting power and applying the necessary brakes to counteract the slide. In short, VSC is present to assist and prevent you from spinning out of control.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBrake Assist (BA)\n \u2013 Often confused with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist works in tandem with ABS. Previous research found that most drivers lack applying full force when it comes to an emergency stop. Brake Assist helps the driver with a stronger braking force when the system detects the immediacy on the brake pedal. Together with ABS, both technologies are meant to stop the vehicle quickly and with better control.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTraction Control System (TCS)\n \u2013 Just like ABS is meant to prevent the wheels from locking during hard braking, TCS stops your wheels from slipping during acceleration. In surfaces with low traction, the system will intervene to provide the best balance of throttle for traction.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBlind Spot Warning System\n \u2013 In most cars with this feature, lights and sensors located underneath and on the side mirrors indicate to the driver of an oncoming vehicle situated on either side of their blind spot. The system is commonly paired with an audible alert if the driver attempts to move into the oncoming vehicle\u2019s path.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCredit: Volvo Cars\n\n\nAutomatic Emergency Braking (AEB)\n \u2013 This system is often paired with a forward collision warning to warn the driver of an imminent crash. AEB will then automatically apply the brakes when the system realizes the danger to prevent or reduce the severity of an impact. Furthermore, some manufacturers also include pedestrian detection.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCredit: Volvo Cars\n\n\nRear Cross-Traffic Alert\n \u2013 The system utilizes the reverse sensors in the car to notify the driver if there is an oncoming vehicle out of the driver or rear camera view.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCredit: Volvo Cars\n\n\nActive Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)\n \u2013 This is a more advanced system that commonly uses forward-facing cameras to detect road lines. When the system detects that the car is swerving away from its lane without the turn signal activated, the system would first warn the driver via a steering wheel vibration or audible alert, and then automatically brake one side of the vehicle to bring it back into the lane.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRead here for more stories!\n\n\nAll the features above are commonly available in modern-day Volvos, including the latest XC60 T8 SUV. \nRead here for our review\n!\n\n\nSimilarly, Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid is also the most affordable car on the market to feature these safety features. \nFind out more about the Ioniq here\n!\n\n\nSelling your car is easier than you think!

Tak pasal-pasal anda yang terpaksa undur balik keluar dari lorong untuk ke lorong tambah nilai.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIni cumalah sebahagian kecil daripada masalah yang timbul semenjak pembayaran bagi tol di lebuh-lebuh raya seluruh Malaysia menggunakan Touch \u2018n Go sahaja.

Setelah lebih 20 tahun, kerajaan akan mempertimbangkan semula monopoli Touch \u2018n Go bagi pembayaran tol di seluruh negara.\u00a0\n\n\nJaminan ini diberikan oleh Perdana Menteri, \nDatuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim\n ketika acara #TemuAnwar bersempena \nYouth Empowerment Fair 2023 \nyang berlangsung pada 19 Mac 2023 yang lalu apabila ada soalan berkenaan monopoli Touch \u2018n Go daripada salah seorang pengunjung di situ.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSebenarnya, cadangan untuk menggunakan kaedah pembayaran lain selain daripada Touch \u2018n Go pernah diusahakan oleh PLUS tetapi sehingga sekarang, tiada perkembangan terkini berkenaan usaha tersebut.\u00a0\n\n\nNamun, selepas pengumuman oleh Perdana Menteri Malaysia minggu lalu, nampaknya ada perkembagan terkini apabila Kementerian Kerja Raya dengan gesaan daripada Kementerian Pengangkutan akan menyediakan sistem pembayaran terbuka bagi tol menjelang penghujung September ini.\u00a0\n\n\nLebuh raya yang akan melaksanakan sistem pembayaran terbuka ini ialah:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nLebuhraya Sungai Besi\n\n\nLebuhraya Baru Pantai\n\n\nLebuhraya Bertingkat Ampang \u2013 Kuala Lumpur\n\n\nLebuhraya Koridor Guthrie\n\n\nJambatan Pulau Pinang\n\n\nDamansara-Puchong (LDP)\n\n\nSkim Penyuraian Trafik KL Barat (SPRINT)\n\n\nLebuhraya Shah Alam (Kesas)\n\n\nTerowong SMART\n\n\nLebuhraya Kuala Lumpur-Putrajaya (MEX)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTiada Lagi Palang Tol Lagi Tahun 2025?\u00a0\n\n\nTol tanpa palang dan pondok? Ya!

If you\u2019re wondering \u201cshould I buy a car?\u201d, there are various factors to think about before taking the plunge. After all, owning a car is a big commitment and responsibility.\u00a0\n\n\nTo help you decide if it\u2019s a good time to buy a car, here are some questions to think of before you decide.\n\n\n\n\n1. How Much Do You Commute for Work?\n\n\nMost people spend most of their time on the road commuting to work or school. So when you ask yourself if you should buy a car, you should take into account how much time you spend commuting to work, and if you need a car for it.\u00a0\n\n\nYou should also consider if there are alternatives that are more affordable and convenient. Do you live close to public transportation? Can you walk to your office or ride a bike? If you have other convenient alternatives, you might not need to invest in a new car. However, if you don\u2019t have access to other alternatives and travel to the office frequently, driving can save you a lot of time and effort.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nHow You Can Apply for a Pre-approved Loan\n\n\n2. Do You Travel Long Distance?\n\n\nAnother question to ponder before deciding if it\u2019s a good time to buy a car now is whether or not you regularly travel long distances. If you enjoy regular road trips on the weekend, have to travel outstation for work, or even travel interstate to visit your hometown, it\u2019s a good idea to own a good car.\n\n\nWhile transport options for long-distance traveling are plenty, it can be taxing especially if you do it regularly. Plus, if you travel with your family and friends, the cost of buying individual tickets can climb quite fast.\u00a0\n\n\nThat said, traveling long distances can quickly increase the mileage on your car and accelerate its wear and tear, leading to a higher chance of parts failing. If you travel frequently, consider investing in a quality car. Besides getting a brand new car, you can also consider getting a used car in good condition and low mileage.\n\n\nRead More: \nDIY Tips to Improve Your Car\u2019s Resale Value\n\n\n3. Do You Drive Other People Around?\n\n\nIt\u2019s easy to rely on public transport if you live alone and don\u2019t travel that often. However, commuting and traveling can get tricky if you have multiple people in your household. If you need to send your kids to school or a childcare center or even go grocery shopping with the family, driving is a more comfortable and convenient option. If you\u2019ve been wondering \u2018should I buy a car now?\u2019 consider the needs of your family or better yet, have a talk and decide with them.\n\n\n4. Can You Afford the Costs of Owning a Car?\n\n\nBefore deciding if you should buy or upgrade your car, you should first know if you can afford it. Other than the upfront downpayment cost and monthly \ncar loan\n, there are also the fuel, maintenance, insurance, and road tax cost to consider. As a rule of thumb, it\u2019s recommended to spend 15 percent of your income on transportation to avoid burdening yourself financially.\n\n\n5. Do You Have a Car? What Is Its Condition?\n\n\nIf you already have a car, you may be considering selling it because you don\u2019t need it anymore or because you\u2019re looking to upgrade. However, before \nselling your car\n, think about these points:\n\n\n\n\nYour car\u2019s reliability:\n Reliability and safety are top priorities in a vehicle. If your car malfunctions frequently, it can affect your comfort and safety while driving. Furthermore, many older cars lack even basic safety features that we now consider necessary in modern cars.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaintenance costs:\n If your vehicle breaks down frequently, then it\u2019s a sure sign to upgrade your car. Having two or more major breakdowns a year can be costly and sometimes even exceed the value of your car.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour lifestyle:\n Your lifestyle changes over the years and so does what you need in a car. If you\u2019re starting a new family or even a new job that requires more frequent traveling, you might find that your current vehicle doesn\u2019t suit your lifestyle anymore. In that case, it may be time to upgrade to a car with more space and better safety features.\n\n\n\n\nRead More:\n \nA Complete Guide on Buying and Selling Used Cars\n\n\nEnjoy Up to RM13,000 off When You Buy a CARSOME Certified Car\n\n\nIf you\u2019re planning to upgrade your car, now is the time because you can enjoy up to RM13,000 off* when you buy a CARSOME Certified car this May.

This extension applies to all targeted repayment assistance schemes that was previously announced mainly \u2013\n\n\n\n\nindividuals who have lost their jobs in 2020/2021 can apply for a payment relief period of 3 months any time on or before 30 June 2021.\n\n\nIndividuals who are still employed but with a reduction in income can apply for a lower instalment amount.\n\n\nIndividuals from the m40 income group who are recipients of Bantuan Prihatin National (BPN) can request for self-declarations.\n\n\nIndividuals from the B40 income group who are recipients of Bantuan Prihatin National (BPN) can request for a 3 months deferment of installment or reduce the instalment payment by 50% for 6 months.\n\n\n\n\nOther individuals who are facing financial difficulties when it comes to loan repayment are also advised to contact their respective banks to ways or packages that will help their circumstances.\n\n\nRepayment Assistance during MCO\n\n\n2020 has surely been an eventful year, and it\u2019s not even over. We are surely done with this year and if we could just skip to 2021, we would. From the forest fires to the deadly virus that has literally brought the whole world to a stop, 2020 is nothing but miserable. And for those who are affected financially by this pandemic, do not fret, because behind every dark cloud, is a silver lining. For those who do not know, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) granted a moratorium on loan repayments (including hire purchase or more commonly known as car loans) for 6 months from the 1\nst\n April to 31\nst\n September 2020. This is done to relieve those who are going through temporal financial constraints during these unprecedented times.\n\n\nMoratorium 101\n\n\n\n\nBut what does moratorium mean? It is a temporary suspension of an activity or law until future consideration allows the lifting of the suspension \u2013 if and when the issue has been resolved. A moratorium is usually imposed by a government, by the regulators or by a business itself and is often placed in response to help those who are in temporary financial hardship due to (in this case) a pandemic.\n\n\nWhen Covid-19 started affecting the livelihood of many individuals by salary cuts, forced unpaid leaves and retrenchments, Bank Negara Malaysia decided to make things easier for everyone by announcing the 6 months moratorium on personal loans and financing an initiative under the Prihatin Rakyat Economic Stimulus Package, as announced by our prime minister.\n\n\n\n\n So, in simple terms, from April to September 2020, you do not need to worry about your monthly loan payments and the banks will not penalize you for it. As the country starts recovering after the MCO, the government also decided to extend the moratorium period for another 3 months till the end of the year for a few targeted groups:\n\n\n\n\n \u00a0 \nIndividuals that have lost a job and is still looking for one\n\n\n \u00a0 \nIndividuals that have their salary deducted due to Covid-19\n\n\n\n\nHow are Car Loans Affected?\n\n\nBut for those who were confused about the various statements about the additional interest that would be charged for hire purchase loans or car loans, on May 6\nth\n the Finance Minister himself announced that no additional charges will be applied to deferred instalment payment during the entire six month moratorium period (meaning you will still continue paying the same amount, just extended by another 6 months).\n\n\nNow that the 6\nth\n month is coming to an end, what do you need to do now? For those who have chosen to take up the moratorium in April and will not be extending it until the end of the year, you have two options.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0 \nPay off the 6 months loan moratorium in a lump sum\n\n\n\n\nThough accrued charges will not be charged whether you decide to pay off in one large sum or to continue with your installment at your usual amount, paying it off will help you cover not only the pending loan, but also the ever increasing interest. If your finances were not affected by the pandemic, you should count your blessings and pay up with the money that you have saved.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTake the loan moratorium and extend loan tenure by 6 months\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor those with finances that were impacted by Covid-19, your best option is to conserve your cash flow and yet do not have to worry about the additional interest. After the 6 months, you will continue the same monthly repayment amount, but your loan tenure will be extended by 6 months, without any additional interest accrued.\u00a0\n\n\nFor example, if you were paying RM 300 (including interest) and your car payment is supposed to end in Sept 2020, you will pay RM 300(including interest) in October 2020 and your loan will end in March 2021.\n\n\n\n\nIf you are one of those who are looking to sell (for the extra cash) or buy a car (with the extra cash), you should totally check out Carsome.

Namun begitu, lanjutan ini merupakan skim bantuan pembayaran balik bersasar sama seperti yang diumumkan sebelum ini.\n\n\n\n\nIndividu yang hilang pekerjaan dan masih belum mendapat pekerjaan pada tahun 2020 atau 2021. Individu terjejas boleh memohon pengecualian pembayaran untuk tempoh tiga bulan pada bila-bila masa pada atau sebelum 30 Jun 2021.\n\n\nPemohon atau peminjam yang masih bekerja namun mengalami pengurangan pendapatan berbanding biasa. individu yang masih bekerja tetapi mengalami pengurangan sumber pendapatan boleh memohon untuk mengurangkan jumlah ansurans bulanan selari dengan pengurangan pendapatan.\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, peminjam atau pelanggan yang menghadapi kesukaran untuk membuat pembayaran balik pinjaman dinasihatkan untuk menghubungi pihak bank untuk berbincang mengenai pakej bantuan pembayaran balik yang sesuai mengikut keadaan yang dihadapi.\n\n\nPerintah Kawalan Pergerakan: Moratorium Pinjaman Kereta\n\n\nTahun 2020 merupakan tahun yang sukar buat kita semua. Banyak insiden-insiden besar berlaku seperti letusan Gunung Berapi Taal di Filipina, kebakaran hutan di Australia, banjir besar di Indonesia dan banyak lagi. Namun, insiden yang paling memberi kesan kepada kita semestinya pandemik Covid-19. Virus ini yang pertama kali dikesan di Wuhan telah merebak ke beberapa negara lain dalam masa yang singkat. Ia bukan sahaja memberi impak kepada kesihatan rakyat malah turut menjejaskan ekonomi dan kesejahteraan rakyat. Ramai rakyat hilang pekerjaan dan hilang mata pencarian, malah ada perniagaan yang gulung tikar.\n\n\nBertitik tolak daripada itu, kerajaan Malaysia telah memperkenalkan moratorium pinjaman untuk membantu meringankan beban kewangan rakyat Malaysia. Ia sekali gus dapat membantu individu serta Perusahaan Kecil dan Sederhana (PKS) yang terjejas teruk ekoran pelaksanaan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) Mei lalu.\n\n\nMoratorium 101: Apa Itu Moratorium?\n\n\n\n\nMenurut \nBank Negara Malaysia\n, moratorium merujuk kepada penangguhan sementara bayaran balik pinjaman (pokok dan faedah/keuntungan) untuk jangka masa yang terhad. Peminjam yang mempunyai pinjaman yang memenuhi syarat tidak perlu membuat apa-apa bayaran balik dan tiada caj bayaran lewat akan dikenakan. Bayaran balik yang tertangguh akan disambung semula selepas tempoh penangguhan berakhir 30 September ini.\n\n\nMoratorium pinjaman bank dijalankan di Malaysia susulan wabak pandemik Covid-19 yang telah melanda dunia pada ketika ini. Pandemik Covid-19 ini secara tidak langsung menjejaskan sumber pendapatan isi rumah dan memberi impak kepada sektor ekonomi. Untuk rekod, hampir 2.4 juta pekerjaan atau 15.7 peratus daripada keseluruhan sektor tenaga kerja terjejas dan memerlukan bantuan daripada kerajaan. Malah menurut \nKajian Khas Kesan COVID-19 Terhadap Individu dan Ekonomi\n \noleh Jabatan Perangkaan Malaysia, hampir separuh daripada 168,182 responden hilang pekerjaan kesan daripada wabak itu.\n\n\nKerajaan dan Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) telah memperkenalkan moratorium yang memberikan penangguhan bayaran balik pinjaman selama enam bulan kepada peminjam terjejas. Dalam tempoh ini, anda tidak perlu membayar mana-mana hutang pinjaman anda tanpa dikenakan sebarang penalti oleh pihak bank. Selain itu, kerajaan juga telah melanjutkan tempoh moratorium dan bantuan bank bersasar selama tiga bulan yang lebih bertumpu kepada beberapa kumpulan sasar:\n\n\n\n\nIndividu yang hilang pekerjaan dan masih belum mendapat pekerjaan\n\n\nIndividu yang masih bekerja namun mengalami pengurangan pendapatan berbanding biasa\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdakah Pembiayaan Pinjaman Kereta Terjejas?\n\n\nMenteri Kewangan, Tengku Zafrul Aziz menyatakan bahawa tiada caj tambahan akan dikenakan untuk pembayaran ansuran yang tertangguh selama enam bulan dalam tempoh moratorium. Anda hanya perlu membayar jumlah ansuran yang sama, cuma tempoh pinjaman anda akan dilanjutkan selama enam bulan lagi.\n\n\nTempoh moratorium bayaran balik pinjaman yang diputuskan selama enam bulan sebelum ini akan berakhir September ini. Apakah yang perlu anda lakukan? Jika anda tidak memohon \nlanjutan moratorium\n untuk tempoh tiga bulan akan datang, anda boleh mempertimbangkan dua pilihan tersebut:\n\n\n#1 Bayar tunggakan pinjaman enam bulan sekali gus\n\n\nJika sumber pendapatan anda tidak terjejas teruk, anda boleh menjelaskan tunggakan pinjaman sekali gus. Anda bukan sahaja dapat melangsaikan hutang anda dengan lebih cepat, malah dapat membantu membekalkan aliran tunai dan modal kepada pihak bank demi kelangsungan ekonomi negara.

Here Are the Most Fuel-Efficient Cars in Malaysia", "By\n \nDevan S", "26/01/2022", "\n\n\n\n\n", "For many Malaysians, fuel efficiency is one of the top factors to consider when buying a car. In fact, it\u2019s even more important now with the rising price of goods and fluctuating fuel prices. While fuel-efficient cars used to only be compact cars with small engines, current technology has allowed car manufacturers to improve the fuel consumption on even their large \nsports utility vehicles (SUVs\n)\n and luxury vehicles. Let\u2019s take a look at some of the most fuel-efficient cars you can buy in Malaysia right now.\n\n\nAffordable and Economical \u2013 Perodua Axia\n\n\n\n\nThe \nPerodua Axia\n is undoubtedly the car that most Malaysians think of when they\u2019re looking for an affordable, fuel-efficient car. It has a 1.0-liter engine with both manual and automatic transmission options. The base E variant with the manual transmission has a fuel consumption of only 4.4 L/100 km while the automatic variants consume slightly more fuel at 4.6 L/100 km. The price of the Perodua Axia ranges from RM23,367 to RM41,427 making it an affordable car for Malaysians from all walks of life. It also has a four-star ASEAN NCAP Safety Rating with all the basic safety features you\u2019d expect in a modern car.\n\n\nBest Fuel-Efficient Sedan \u2013 Perodua Bezza\n\n\n\n\nLike the Axia, the \nPerodua Bezza\n offers excellent value for money. Coupled with an affordable price tag, it\u2019s also one of the most fuel-efficient cars in Malaysia. The Perodua Bezza is available in two engine configurations. The 1.0-liter variant has a fuel consumption of 4.4 L/100 km while the 1.3-liter variant has a slightly higher fuel consumption of 4.7 L/100 km. With a price ranging from RM33,456 to RM48,356, this car offers a five-star ASEAN NCAP Safety Rating, a large 508-liter boot, and also Perodua\u2019s Advanced Safety Assist (A.S.A.) on the range-topping 1.3 AV variant. If you\u2019re looking for an affordable car with excellent fuel economy but need more luggage space than what the Axia offers, the Perodua Bezza is your answer.\n\n\nBest Value Fuel-Efficient Car \u2013 Perodua Myvi\n\n\n\n\nImage Source: \nPerodua\n\n\nAs the best-selling car in Malaysia, the \nPerodua Myvi\n offers a lot of value with its A.S.A. safety suite, six airbags, a five-star ASEAN NCAP Safety Rating, and spacious interior. The 2022 facelifted version of the Perodua Myvi receives a new Dual-Mode Continuously Variable Transmission (D-CVT) which improves fuel efficiency and overall performance. It now returns a very respectable fuel consumption of 4.7 L/100 km with its Eco Idle System. It has a starting sales price of RM45,700 up to RM58,800.\n\n\nThe Fuel-Sipping SUV \u2013 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid\n\n\n\n\nImage Source: \nToyota\n\n\nThe Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid offers the space and commanding road view of an SUV with a fuel efficiency of a compact car. It\u2019s powered by a 1.8-liter Atkinson-cycle engine paired with an electric motor that delivers 122 PS of total power. That setup gives it a fuel consumption of 4.3 L/100 km making it one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs in Malaysia. The Corolla Cross Hybrid is locally assembled which enables it to have a very reasonable price of RM136,550. Furthermore, it\u2019s built on the same platform as the \nToyota Corolla sedan\n \u2013 the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform which gives it a low center of gravity, improved interior space, and excellent road comfort.\n\n\nBest Value Hybrid Car \u2013 Honda City RS Hybrid\n\n\n\n\nImage Source: \nHonda\n\n\nThe \nHonda City\n RS Hybrid has been around since 2017. And with the update it received in 2020, its 1.5-liter Atkinson-cycle engine and electric motor pairing now has an impressive fuel efficiency of 3.6 L/100 km. The Honda City RS also boasts a max torque of 253 Nm for brisk acceleration whenever you need it \u2013 that\u2019s more than even many D-segment cars. Plus, it also advanced safety features such as multi-angle rearview cameras and the Honda SENSING safety suite. With a starting price of RM105,950, the Honda City RS offers excellent value especially if you\u2019re looking for a feature-packed, fuel-efficient car.\n\n\nHow To Improve Your Car\u2019s Fuel Efficiency\n\n\nThe fuel efficiency of your car depends on various factors from your tire pressure to your engine\u2019s condition. Many of these factors are controllable, so improving your car\u2019s fuel efficiency is actually not that hard to achieve. Here are some small changes that can help you gain some fuel savings in the long run.\n\n\n\n\n1. Keep Your Tires Properly Inflated\n\n\nUnderinflated \ntires\n have higher rolling resistance which means they face more friction when they rotate on the road. This leads to more energy needed to move the tires which in turn increases your fuel consumption. Having your tires be underinflated by 10 pounds per square inch (psi) could reduce your fuel efficiency by up to 10%, so make sure you follow the manufacturer\u2019s recommended tire pressure when inflating your tires. You can usually find this information on the label behind the driver\u2019s door or in your owner\u2019s manual.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Perform Regular Maintenance\n\n\nEven the most fuel-efficient car becomes a gas guzzler if it\u2019s not properly maintained. If you have a dirty air filter and engine oil, or worn-out spark plugs, your fuel efficiency and engine performance can drop. What\u2019s worse, skipping a \nscheduled service\n can cause other components in your car to wear out faster. To save fuel and ensure your car runs smoothly throughout its lifetime, do follow the maintenance schedule recommended by your car manufacturer.\n\n\n3. Limit Engine Idling\n\n\nIdling, whether at the traffic light or while waiting for someone wastes fuel. It also creates pollution and speeds up wear and tear in the engine. To address this, many new vehicles feature a stop-start system that automatically shuts the engine when the car comes to a stop and restarts it when the driver accelerates or releases the brake. If your car doesn\u2019t have this feature, you can save fuel by turning off your engine when you have to stay parked somewhere.\n\n\n4. Keep To the Speed Limit\n\n\nYour engine needs to work harder to fight wind resistance while cruising down the highway. And your car could consume up to 15 percent more fuel at 100 km/h and burn even more than that at higher speeds. However, that doesn\u2019t mean you should drive as slow as possible, as driving at speeds below 50 km/h and at a lower gear is inefficient and also causes your car to burn more fuel. If you\u2019re not in a rush and would like to save some fuel on the highway, keeping a steady speed of between 70 and 90 km/h could help you achieve optimal fuel consumption. You should also avoid sudden acceleration and hard braking as these increase fuel consumption.\n\n\n5. Remove Excess Weight\n\n\nCarrying excess weight in your car can cause your engine to work harder and consume more fuel. The extra things also take up the space that you could need for carrying groceries and passengers. To improve your fuel efficiency, it\u2019s best to clear your car of any unnecessary clutter be it extra backpacks, books, or tools.\n\n\nThere you have it, we hope you now understand more about your car\u2019s fuel efficiency and how to improve it. Buying the latest, most fuel-efficient car can save you some money in the long run. However, you can also save a lot in the form of the car\u2019s purchase cost by buying a quality \nused car\n from reputable platforms like CARSOME. \n\n\nWe put all our cars through a comprehensive 175-point inspection to ensure they\u2019re free of major accidents and flood damage, and are in good working condition. \n\n\nAdditionally, each CARSOME Certified car includes\n\n\n\n\nFixed prices without any hidden fees. Our prices already include the road tax, Puspakom inspection fee, ownership transfer fee, and loan application fee.\n\n\nA five-day money-back guarantee in case you change your mind.\n\n\nA one-year warranty to ensure further peace of mind.\n\n\n\n\nWith over 20 car brands available on our website, we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll be able to find the perfect car with us.

Ia berfungsi membekalkan arus elektrik untuk menghidupkan enjin dan menyimpan muatan elektrik untuk digunakan semasa enjin tidak beroperasi. Namun begitu, ramai pemilik kereta tidak mempunyai pengetahuan asas mengenai bateri kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJenis Bateri Kereta\n\n\nSecara umumnya, terdapat beberapa jenis bateri yang dijual di pasaran. \nCarsome menyenaraikan info-info dan tip penting mengenai bateri kereta yang anda perlu tahu seperti berikut.\n\n\n1. Bateri Sel Basah atau Bateri Sel Kering\n\n\nBateri basah memerlukan penyelenggaraan secara berkala seperti penambahan air suling (\ndistilled water\n) ke dalam bateri. Tahap air bateri perlu berada pada tahap yang disyorkan untuk mengelakkan jangka hayat bateri lebih pendek berbanding biasa. Kekerapan penambahan air suling bergantung pada keadaan cuaca dan penggunaan (perjalanan jauh atau penggunaan kerap), biasanya sekali dalam 4-6 minggu.\n\n\nBerbeza dengan bateri kering (atau turut dikenali sebagai\n \u2018maintenance free\u2019\n), bateri jenis ini tidak memerlukan sebarang penyelenggaraan. Pemilik kereta hanya perlu memastikan sambungan terminal berada dalam keadaan baik dan terminal bateri diperiksa dari masa ke masa untuk mengelakkan sebarang kakisan pada terminal bateri. Kebiasaannya, bateri sel kering dijual pada harga lebih mahal berbanding bateri sel basah.\n\n\n2. Bateri Gel\n\n\nBateri kereta biasanya mempunyai jangka hayat sekitar dua tahun atau kurang. Namun begitu, bateri jenis gel mampu bertahan sehingga 5-10 tahun bergantung pada penggunaan. Bateri gel merupakan bateri bebas penyelenggaraan sepenuhnya dan dilengkapi dengan gel elektrolit yang lebih tebal sekali gus menjadikan bateri ini lebih selamat, mesra alam dan dapat menahan dua kali lebih banyak kitaran pengecasan dan pelepasan (sehingga 400). Bateri ini memakan kos yang agak tinggi setanding dengan tempoh jangka hayatnya \u2013 3-4 kali lebih mahal berbanding bateri bebas penyelenggaraan lain.\n\n\n\n\n3. Bateri \nAbsorbed Glass Mat\n (AGM)\n\n\nBateri jenis \nAbsorbed Glass Mat\n (AGM) menggunakan pelapik kaca poros yang bertindak seperti span yang berfungsi memerangkap elektrolit yang berbentuk cecair atau gel. Kelebihan bateri ini ialah bateri jenis ini bebas kebocoran hasil daripada penggunaan teknologi pengkapsulan asid dan mempunyai jangka hayat yang lebih lama berbanding bateri biasa. Selain itu, bateri jenis ini mempunyai kadar rintangan yang lebih rendah dan kadar tidak balas terhadap perubahan yang lebih cepat selain berfungsi dengan baik pada suhu sejuk. Sudah semestinya, semua manfaat positif ini datang dengan harga yang lebih tinggi berbanding bateri bebas penyelengaraan yang biasa dijual dipasaran.\n\n\n7 Tip Penjagaan Bateri Kereta Pemilik Kereta Wajib Tahu\u00a0\n\n\nSama seperti komponen kereta yang lain, bateri kereta perlu diperiksa dan diselenggara secara berkala untuk mengekalkan kualiti dan prestasi pada tahap yang terbaik. Carsome menyenaraikan 7 tips penjagaan bateri kereta sebagai panduan anda:\n\n\n1. Periksa aras air bateri\n\n\nPeriksa tahap air dalam bateri kereta (penggunaan sel basah) anda setiap 3 bulan atau setiap 5000km. Sekiranya anda kerap memandu jauh, periksa tahap air dalam bateri dengan lebih kerap untuk memastikan tahap air kekal berada pada tahap yang sesuai.\n\n\n2. Bersihkan terminal bateri\n\n\nTerminal bateri menghubungkan sistem elektronik kereta dan bateri kereta anda. Jika terminal bateri longgar, ketatkan segera. Ini kerana ia akan menyebabkan garam-garam hijau terbentuk di sekeliling permukaan logam terminal sekali gus menjejaskan ketersambungan bateri.\n\n\n3. Periksa penebat bateri\u00a0\n\n\nSesetengah model kenderaan dilengkapi dengan sarung penebat yang berfungsi melindungi bateri kereta daripada kepanasan haba enjin. Bateri yang terdedah kepada suhu panas akan menyebabkan jangka hayat bateri menjadi lebih pendek.\n\n\n4. Guna bateri yang berkualiti\n\n\nBateri yang berkualiti mempunyai jangka hayat yang lebih baik \u2013 dalam kes tertentu, bateri boleh bertahan melebihi 2 tahun jika dijaga dan digunakan dengan baik. Bateri kereta yang berkualiti juga kebiasaannya disertakan waranti dan jaminan.\n\n\n5. Elak guna minyak sebarangan pada terminal bateri\u00a0\n\n\nPenggunaan minyak seperti minyak gris yang tidak sesuai pada kepala bateri boleh menyebabkan kepala bateri berkarat. Malah, jika digunakan secara berlebihan, ia boleh melemahkan kuasa dan menjejaskan prestasi bateri.\n\n\n6. Matikan sistem elektronik jika enjin tidak dihidupkan\n\n\nJika anda mematikan enjin kereta anda, pastikan semua peralatan elektronik kereta seperti \naircond\n kereta\n, lampu atau radio dimatikan. Ia secara tidak langsung dapat mengekalkan kuasa bateri untuk tahan lebih lama.\n\n\n7. Periksa kuasa bateri secara berkala\n\n\nBacaan normal bateri kereta yang \u2018sihat\u2019 adalah antara 12-13 Volt ketika enjin tidak dihidupkan, manakala antara 13.5-14.5 Volt jika enjin dihidupkan. Jika kuasa bateri berada di bawah 13.5 Volt atau melebihi 14.5 Volt ini, besar kemungkinan terdapat masalah pada \nalternator\n kereta anda.\n\n\nSaiz & Harga Bateri Kereta\n\n\nHarga bateri kenderaan yang dijual dipasaran adalah bergantung pada jenama (Century, Bosch, Yokohama, GP Yamasaki, Aokly, Yuasa, Hitachi dll.), jenis dan saiz. Berikut merupakan senarai anggaran harga bateri kenderaan yang dijual di pasaran mengikut saiz untuk panduan anda. Harga yang dipaparkan adalah tertakluk kepada perubahan mengikut trend pasaran semasa.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaiz Bateri\n\n\nHarga Bateri\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNS40ZL\n\n\nRM120-RM170\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNS60\n\n\nRM140-RM180\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNS70\n\n\nRM190-RM245\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDIN55\n\n\nRM190-RM245\n\n\n\n\n\n\n55D23L\n\n\nRM190-RM245\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTanda Bateri Kereta Kong atau Lemah\n\n\nWalaupun tiada cara untuk mengetahui sama ada bateri kenderaan anda telah dinyahcas atau sebaliknya, anda boleh mengesan tanda-tanda awal bateri kereta \nkong\n yang ditunjukkan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nStarter\n sedikit berat semasa menghidupkan kereta atau kereta mengambil masa yang lebih lama daripada biasa untuk hidup;\n\n\nKereta anda memerlukan bantuan \njump start\n terutamanya pada waktu sejuk (waktu pagi atau semasa hujan). Jika anda perlu melakukan \njump start\n lebih kerap dalam tempoh kurang seminggu, ini bermaksud bateri kereta perlu digantikan atau air perlu ditambah (sel basah);\n\n\nKotak bateri kelihatan sedikit kembung atau membengkak. Perkara ini disebabkan bateri telah mencapai tahap maksimum dan tidak lagi dapat menerima cas daripada \nalternator;\n\n\nBerbau tengik atau berasid. Kebiasaannya, bau ini dapat dihidu apabila bonet kereta dibuka. Namun, dalam sesetengah kes bau tersebut juga dapat dihidu di dalam kabin kereta;\n\n\nAlarm\n berbunyi secara tidak menentu turut menandakan bateri kereta anda \u2018kong\u2019 dan tidak berada dalam keadaan baik. Walaupun begitu, anda disarankan untuk memeriksa \nremote\n atau sistem \nalarm\n kereta terlebih dahulu untuk pengesahan;\n\n\nPenunjuk meter minyak menjadi tidak menentu, tidak seragam dan tidak seperti biasa. Dalam situasi biasa, meter akan menunjukkan jarak sebanyak 115km\u00b1 dengan 3 bar minyak, tetapi jika bateri \u2018kong\u2019, meter hanya menunjukkan jarak sebanyak 50km\u00b1 sahaja. Perkara ini biasa berlaku bagi kereta berjenama Perodua;\n\n\nTetapan jam dan radio perlu dipratetapkan semula setiap kali kenderaan dihidupkan, ia menunjukkan bateri anda sudah lemah dan perlu digantikan.\n\n\n\n\nPunca Utama Bateri Kereta Kong\n\n\nTerdapat banyak faktor yang menyebabkan bateri kereta \u2018kong\u2019. Carsome menyenaraikan beberapa punca utama yang menyebabkan bateri kereta \u2018kong\u2019:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLitar pintas/sel mati dalam bateri;\n\n\nEnjin kereta tidak dihidupkan untuk tempoh yang lama;\n\n\nKerosakan pada bahagian \nalternator\n;\n\n\nSistem pendawaian yang tidak betul oleh penjual aksesori pihak ketiga;\n\n\nPemasangan aksesori kereta yang berlebihan;\n\n\nLampu kereta, radio tidak dimatikan semasa enjin dimatikan;\n\n\nFaktor penyelenggaraan \u2013 terminal bateri kotor, berkarat atau longgar.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTip Bateri Kereta Tahan Lebih Lama\n\n\nPenyelenggaraan kereta yang betul dapat mencegah kerosakan dan memanjangkan jangka hayat bateri kereta. Carsome turut menyenaraikan tips untuk memastikan bateri kenderaan anda tahan lebih lama.\n\n\n1. Parkir Kereta Di Tempat Yang Teduh\n\n\nCuaca di Malaysia biasanya lebih panas berbanding negara-negara Eropah. Suhu cuaca yang tinggi mempercepatkan tindak balas kimia dalam bateri dan akhirnya melepaskan cas dengan lebih cepat sekali gus memendekkan jangka hayatnya. Oleh itu, cara terbaik untuk memanjangkan jangka hayat bateri anda ialah dengan meletakkan kenderaan di tempat yang lebih teduh.\n\n\n2. Cabut Bateri Kereta Jika Kereta Ditinggalkan Lama\n\n\nKereta biasanya sukar untuk dihidupkan jika ditinggalkan dan tidak dihidupkan dalam tempoh yang lama.\n\u00a0Untuk mengelakkan situasi sebegini daripada berlaku, anda disarankan untuk mencabut soket terminal negatif (penutup kabel hitam) pada bateri anda. \nNamun, jika anda bimbang akan keselamatan kenderaan anda (penggera tidak diaktifkan jika bateri dicabut), anda boleh meminta pertolongan jiran atau rakan terdekat untuk menghidupkan kereta anda. Malah, jika anda perlu bekerja dari rumah (\nwork from home\n), \nhidupkan kereta\n anda selama 10 minit sekurang-kurangnya setiap dua hari.\n\n\n\n\nBolehkah Bateri Yang Telah Dinyahcas Dicas Semula?\n\n\nRamai pemilik kenderaan berpendapat bahawa bateri yang telah dinyahcas boleh dicas semula jika kenderaan dipandu. Pendapat ini adalah salah. Sebenarnya, pengecasan yang berterusan sebegini akan menurunkan kapasiti bateri dan memendekkan jangka hayatnya dengan lebih cepat. Satu-satunya cara untuk mengembalikan cas bateri dengan sekata adalah dengan menggunakan pengecas pelbagai peringkat. Sekiranya anda tidak memandu kereta dengan kerap, hidupkan kereta setiap hari atau pandu kereta di sekitar taman anda sekurang-kurangnya seminggu sekali.\n\n\n\n\nCara\n Jumper \nBateri\u00a0Kereta\n\n\nNamun begitu, dalam kes-kes tertentu, anda mungkin perlu\n jumper\n bateri kereta anda. Situasi ini mungkin berlaku apabila anda terlupa untuk mematikan lampu kereta anda atau kadar voltan bateri yang lemah. Ikuti cara \njumper\n bateri kereta dengan cara yang betul \ndi sini\n.\n\n\nKitar Semula Bateri Lama Kereta untuk Tunai\n\n\nAnda mungkin tertanya-tanya apakah yang boleh dilakukan dengan bateri lama yang telah digantikan? Bagi kebanyakan orang, perkara yang biasa dilakukan adalah tinggalkan sahaja di kedai bateri setelah menukar bateri baharu. Tetapi sebenarnya, anda juga boleh menjual bateri lama anda untuk tunai. Syarikat pengurusan sisa pepejal, Alam Flora baru-baru ini berkongsi di Facebook mengenai inisiatif kitar semula untuk sisa buangan domestik melalui \n3R On Wheels\n dan \nBuy Back Centres\u00a0\nyang boleh ditemui di Putrajaya, Cyberjaya dan Kuala Lumpur.\n\n\nSetakat 1 April 2019, pusat ini telah menerima hampir 20 item termasuk bateri kenderaan yang diterima pada harga RM1 bagi setiap kilogram dan harga ini adalah tertakluk pada perubahan kadar pasaran semasa. Anda juga boleh ikuti \nFacebook\n dan \nTwitter\n Rasmi Alam Flora untuk mengetahui jadual terkini \n3R On Wheels\n. Selain itu, anda juga boleh \n\u2018trade in\u2019\n bateri lama anda kepada bateri baharu dengan pihak bengkel. Kebanyakan pihak bengkel menerima \n\u2018trade in\u2019 \nbateri lama pada harga sekitar RM10-RM15 bergantung kepada pihak bengkel.\n\n\nPenjagaan kenderaan yang baik (termasuk penjagaan bateri kereta) boleh meningkatkan harga jualan yang lebih tinggi jika anda membuat keputusan untuk \nmenjual kereta lama\n anda. Anda boleh mempertimbangkan CARSOME untuk menguruskan proses berkaitan jual beli kereta lama anda.

While the Fast and Furious franchise began as a proper car film, and later into an action film, car chase scenes in these movies naturally do not focus very much on the essence that older films had. With so much trust on special effects and green screens, practical car scenes are hard to come by nowadays. But look back in the 70s and later and you'll find some of the greatest moments in film history that consists of good old-fashioned straight to the cut chase with a lot of shattered glass, tyre squeals and shocked audiences. Read on as we have put a few of the best movie car chase scenes from the past few decades.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nShort Time (1990)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The first in this list is a comedy action film that kicked off the 1990s. As the title suggests, Detective Simpson is a man who receives news that he only has two weeks to live. This seven-minute car chase scene involves Chevrolet, Pontiac and Plymouth's in Seattle.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nJade (1996)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*\nViewer discretion is advised for a violent hit and run accident scene.\n\n\n\n\n\n    Before David Caruso put on his shades for CSI: Miami, he was in this mid-1990s erotic thriller. The movie\u2019s sequence sees a Ford Thunderbird and Taurus car chase through downtown San Francisco.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Raid 2 (2014)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    Something a little closer to home is an Indonesian sequel to The Raid. Directed by Gareth Evans, this car sequence used very unique and interesting camerawork to layout the action within the vehicle and around it. In the end, a lot of scenes were shot practical, with cameramen strapped to the vehicle to provide the end result.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nJust in case you've not seen the best, here are the gold standards that we love\u2026\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRonin (1998)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    This chase sequence is widely regarded as one of the best, if not the best car chase sequence ever filmed. In fact, there are two sequences here. The late John Frankenheimer was an amateur racer and had plenty of experience staging car scenes. In the film, car brands represented are a 76' Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL, 95' Citroen Xantia and XM, and 98' Audi S8 in the first sequence.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The latter street chase features a E34 BMW M5 and Peugeot 406 in the bustling streets of Paris. The main chase was conducted in a motorway against traffic which involved 300 other stunt drivers.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nAgainst All Odds (1984)\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    This makes it high up our list thanks to the cars and overall dynamics of the scene. Here Jeff Bridges and James Woods take on each other in Los Angeles' Sunset Boulevard with a Porsche 911 Cabriolet and Ferrari 308 GTSi.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    What do you think?

The world\u2019s largest race car manufacturer has a record 19 wins at the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans, and with this, a string of race cars that dominated racetracks. In this Top 5 series from Porsche, we look at the most exclusive models that have achieved record prices at auction.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n5) Porsche 917/30 Spyder\n\n\n\n\nPorsche enthusiasts know that the 917/30 is one of the most powerful race cars that the brand has ever produced. The engine powering this lightweight 850 kg race car was a 5.4-liter twin-turbocharged flat 12-cylinder engine that output as much as 1,500 hp on dyno testing and could reach the 160 km/h mark in just 3.9-seconds. The blue and yellow livery with the \u201cDie Hard\u201d logo won fans of the Can-Am (Canadian American Challenge Cup), and this specific 917/30 with the chassis number 004 sold for US$3 million at an auction in 2016.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n4) Porsche 550A Spyder\n\n\n\n\nCredit: Karissa Hosek\n\n\nThe Porsche 550 was a racing car like no other. In production between 1953 to 1956, the 550 has the nickname \u201cthe giant killer\u201d back in the day, because it was able to beat other racecars with more significant engines. Despite having a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder boxer engine designed by Dr. Ernst Fuhrmann, power was rated up to 135 hp and could achieve an impressive top speed of 240 km/h. The 550A, an improved version of the 550, was introduced at the end of 1956 and had engineering improvements and redesigns that made it win in the biggest of competitions. This 1958 Porsche 550A Spyder bearing the chassis number 550A-0145 went through Bonham\u2019s auction in early 2018 and sold for US$5.17 million.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n3) Porsche GT1 Strassenversion\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Porsche GT1 debuted in 1996 as a means for Porsche to return to the international racing scene. The cars used were usually heavily modified versions of the brand\u2019s available production models, but Porsche purpose-built the GT1, only using the front and rear headlamps with its road-going models. This Strassenversion (Street version) of the GT1 race car is one that was built in 1998 and came with a 3.2-liter twin-turbocharged flat-6-cylinder engine producing 537 hp and capable of accelerating to 100 km/h from a standstill in 3.6-seconds. It is indeed rare to see cars like these ever on sale at auctions, but this specific one sold for US$5,665,000 in March 2017. The price tag represented a significant appreciation since the previous unit fetched only US$1,175,000 in 2012.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n2) Porsche 956\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe specific 956 with chassis number 003 was one of only 10 entered for competition by the factory team. More so, 003 was the most successful 956 of them all. Behind the hands of legends including Jacky Ickx, Al Holbert and Derek Bell, it dominated the 1982 World Sportscar Championship season with four wins out of eight races, as well being the outright winner of the 1983 24 Hours of Le Mans. Apart from the 2.65-liter flat-6-cylinder engine that output an estimated 630 hp, what made the 956 stands out from the other race cars is also its first application of downforce in racing, and its 6 minutes 11.13-second lap record of the Nurburgring Nordschleife. The achievement stood unbroken for 35 years before \nPorsche reset it again in 2018 with their latest 919 Hybrid Evo\n. The final auction price? The 956-003 sold for US$10.12 million in 2015.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n1) Porsche 917 K\n\n\n\n\nThe 917 is the model that gave Porsche its first overall wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970-71. However, the 917 K bearing the chassis number 024 that sold for over US$14 million in 2017 wasn\u2019t a star in motorsport but was instrumental in \u201cLe Mans,\u201d the 1971 film starring Steve McQueen. When filming concluded, Jo Siffert, a Porsche factory test driver, bought the 024. The vehicle changed hands to a collector in France in 1978 and resurfaced almost a decade later in a warehouse before it was purchased and restored. Underneath the hood of the legendary Porsche lay a 5.0-liter V12 engine that produced around 560 hp to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRead below for more stories!\n\n\nLearn more about the Porsche Macan S and recap last year\u2019s \nPorsche Sportscar Together Day in Malaysia\n here!\n\n\nWant to know more about the history of the BMW 3 Series? \nClick here\n for a historical infographic!\n\n\nInterested in Toyota\u2019s new Vios? \nFind out why it\u2019s the best Vios yet\n!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nLooking to sell your car with a service that is professional, convenient and fast?

Pomen is currently only available in Klang Valley, Ipoh, Kedah, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, and Johor.\n\n\nThe app can be downloaded on both Apple App Store and Google Play.\n\n\nDrive an Electric Car? Here is Car Charging App You Need ChargEV\n\n\nimage source: \nevstation.my\n\n\nFor electric cars, knowing where your nearest charging stations are important if you don\u2019t want your car to run out of power and leave you stranded by the roadside. ChargEV is a mobile app that provides the \nlocation of the nearest EV charging stations\n, the charging speed as well as price. Though electric cars are not as popular as conventional cars in Malaysia, you can find over 300 ChargEV charging stations all over the country. Additionally, there are also over 60 Petronas stations located along major highways that are equipped with chargEV charging stations for the convenience of customers. ChargEV is compatible with brands like Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Tesla, Nissan, BMW, and Volvo.\n\n\nThe app can be downloaded on both Apple App Store and Google Play.\u00a0\n\n\nDownload E-Hailing Apps if You Need a Ride\n\n\nE-hailing apps are the next best thing compared to taxis or public transportation. If you think these apps are only for those without a car, think again. Instead, these apps can save you so much time and money when it comes to moving around in high-traffic areas. For example, if you want to grab a quick bite,\u00a0 heading to the airport, or even if you don\u2019t want to be stuck in a tiring traffic jam, let someone else drive you with these e-hailing apps.\n\n\nGrab\n\n\nGrab is a common, everyday app used in Malaysia that first started out as a service that offers rides, lifts, and on-demand taxi service with flat rate fees based on the car, the city, as well as the wait times. If you\u2019ve been cheated or rejected by local taxis, Grab allows you to book a ride from your mobile application by inputting your location and destination. Then, you wait for your ride and pay for it through the app or by cash \u2013\u00a0 everything is stated up front in the app, including the driver\u2019s name, the card\u2019s information, and the fees. Now, you can even order food, groceries and do deliveries via this Grab.\n\n\nThe app can be downloaded on both Apple App Store and Google Play.\n\n\nMyCar\n\n\nMyCar is pretty similar to Grab and is sometimes a cheaper alternative as well. While Grab might charge you three times more during rush hours, peak hours, and heavy downpours, MyCar\u2019s charges are always fixed. One of the downsides that some might face when ordering a MyCar ride is the long waiting time as this app does not have that many drivers around.\n\n\nThe app can be downloaded on both Apple App Store and Google Play.\n\n\nDo remember to charge your battery before you leave or carry along a power bank with you, as some of these mobile\u00a0apps are known to drain your battery. We hope these apps will be able to help you drive with ease and confidence.\u00a0\n\n\nAlso Read\n: \nRoad and Safety Sign Boards in Malaysia\n\n\nFor any other used car services and news, do check Carsome out!

Bampar hadapan GT dengan kemasan jaring sarang lebah (\nhoneycomb mesh grill\n) melengkapkan \n\u2018look\u2019\n luaran kereta ini. Rekaan bampar ini diinspirasikan daripada model Myvi GT yang dipamerkan semasa Pameran Motor Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur (\nKuala Lumpur International Motor Show\n) pada tahun 2018.\n\n\nBampar belakang pula masih mengekalkan rupa bentul asal dengan sedikit pengubahsuaian, diserlahkan dengan kemasan bahagian luar model menampilkan \ndiffuser \ndengan muncung corong ekzos Akrapovi\u010d berkembar dan spoiler daripada AMG dengan nisbah potongan 1:1. Bahagian hud depan pula tampil dengan rekaan hud \ncustom\n jenis Mugen, dikemaskan dengan kemasan karbon. Bahagian lampu hadapan turut digelapkan untuk menjadikan Myvi \nmodified\n ini tampil lebih \nsporty\n dan garang, dilengkapkan dengan \nskirt universal\n yang menyempurnakan rekaan keseluruhannya.\n\n\nKredit: \n@heijiworks7\n\n\nRim kereta ini daripada BBS FI-R bersaiz 17 inci, manakala tayar daripada jenama Continental dengan ukuran saiz 205/45/17. Selain itu, bahagian-bahagian tertentu kereta ini dihiasi dengan kemasan karbon seperti di bahagian lampu sisi dan pemegang pintu. Sekali pandang, Myvi\n \u2018modified\u2019\n ini memang cun habis! Bahagian dalaman kereta tampil lebih kemas dengan balutan karbon pada papan pemuka termasuk stereng, tombol gear serta di bahagian perapi tingkap.\n\n\nTempat duduk hadapan pula ditukar kepada tempat duduk jenis separa lekuk \n(semi bucket seat)\n berwarna hitam daripada SSCUS! Ia juga tampil dengan tali pinggang keledar berwarna merah melengkapkan imej \nsporty\n di bahagian dalam kereta ini. Model Myvi ini juga dipasang \nsunroof\n yang menyerlahkan lagi karakter pemilik kenderaan. Ia turut dilengkapi dengan s\nhadow 4 speed throttle controller\n, sistem audio\n subwoofer\n, \nsuspension\n boleh laras ZERONE SS550 dan banyak lagi!\n\n\nKredit: \n@heijiworks7\n\n\nTip Asas Pengubahsuaian Kereta yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\nSebelum anda melakukan sebarang pengubahsuaian pada kereta, anda dinasihatkan untuk mempertimbangkan rancangan jangka panjang kereta yang diubah suai tersebut. Ini bermaksud, anda perlu mengambil kira sama anda kereta yang diubah suai akan digunakan untuk tempoh masa yang lama atau akan dijual selepas tempoh masa tertentu. Oleh sebab itu, CARSOME menyenaraikan 4 tip pengubahsuaian kereta yang boleh anda pertimbangkan sebelum anda melakukan sebarang pengubahsuaian pada kereta anda.\n\n\n\n\nSetiap kereta terpakai yang dijual kepada CARSOME akan melalui\n pemeriksaan Puspakom\n. Anda boleh rujuk garis panduan pemeriksaan daripada\n Puspakom \ndan garis panduan daripada \nCARSOME \nuntuk maklumat lanjut.\n\n\nCARSOME menerima kereta \nmodified\n terpakai namun tertakluk pada keadaan-keadaan tertentu. Penukaran rim tayar, pengubahsuaian \nbody kit\n seperti bampar dan lain-lain mungkin boleh membantu meningkatkan nilai jualan kereta anda.\n\n\nPenukaran daripada enjin asal kepada enjin berprestasi lebih tinggi adalah tidak digalakkan. Pihak \ndealer\n biasanya menolak kenderaan yang melalui pengubahsuaian enjin kerana penukaran kepada enjin asal melibatkan kos yang besar. Selain itu, terdapat risiko kerosakan enjin yang perlu dipertimbangkan.\n\n\nPemasangan \nsunroof\n pada kenderaan turut dibenarkan, namun masih tertakluk pada keadaan dan kelulusan daripada Puspakom.\n\n\n\n\nKredit: \nPaultan\n\n\nPerodua Bakal Hasilkan MYVI GT?\n\n\nKehadiran model konsep baharu Perodua Myvi GT semasa acara \nKuala Lumpur International Motor Show\n (KLIMS) secara tidak langsung berjaya membuatkan pengunjung teruja. Myvi generasi ketiga dengan spesifikasi lengkap yang lebih \nsporty\n berbanding model standard dijangka bakal menjadi antara model kereta paling laris dijual di Malaysia.\u00a0Rekaan Myvi GT tampil lebih menarik dengan rekaan bampar dan kit badan dengan ciri-ciri yang lebih \nsporty\n, agresif dan garang. Ia sekali gus menambahkan lagi nilai kosmetik model Myvi sedia ada. Model ini dijangka menampilkan rim bersaiz 17 inci lima jejari berkembar berwarna hitam dengan tayar Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalian RE003.\n\n\nSelain itu, model ini turut menampilkan rekaan garisan pada bahagian badan, \nskirting\n yang lebih memukau, pad brek Brembo dan suspensi boleh laras. Ruang dalaman pula diserlahkan dengan stereng rata yang diperbuat daripada gentian karbon dan tempat duduk \nbucket\n dengan balutan Alcantara. Namun begitu, enjin Myvi GT dijangka masih lagi mengekalkan enjin standard Myvi. Meskipun menerima respon yang positif, pihak Perodua masih lagi mengkaji kerelevenan, harga dan aspek-aspek lain sebelum melancarkan model ini.\n\n\nKredit: \nPaultan\n\n\nAdakah anda #TeamModified atau #TeamStandard?

But that\u2019s about to change as revealed in their statement for what they have in store for the near future. This change came in the form of the \nLF-Z Electrified\n concept, which previewed the company\u2019s big plans to lead the EV industry by 2025, the year by which they have promised all Lexus models will offer some sort of electrification.\n\n\n\n\nFeatures of the Lexus LF-Z Electrified\n\n\nThe LF-Z Electrified is a BEV concept vehicle that is symbolic of Lexus\u2019s brand transformation and incorporates driving performance, styling, and advanced technology set to be realized by 2025.\n\n\nBattery and Performance of the Lexus LF-Z Electrified\n\n\nThe Lexus LF-Z is powered by two electric motors (one in the front axle and the other at the rear axle) that deliver a combined output of 400 kW (536 hp) and 700 Nm of torque. This EV provides a driving range of around 600 km on a single charge and is capable of 150 kW of fast charging.\n\n\n\n\nThe distribution of drive force between the front and rear wheels is managed by DIRECT4 technology which allows the drive force of the high-torque motors to be controlled freely, enabling the vehicle\u2019s posture to be finely controlled according to human senses and inputs. In addition, by controlling the front and rear drive wheels independently, the system can provide the appropriate drive system \u2013 e.g. front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive \u2013 for each driving situation. The system controls the distribution of driving force through the seamless orchestration and calculation of accelerator pedal application and steering wheel operation, resulting in powerful acceleration and exhilarating cornering performance that aligns near-perfectly to the\n\ndriver\u2019s will.\n\n\nThe result, according to Lexus, is acceleration and cornering performance that is aligned to what the driver wants. It also enables the LF-Z to get from zero to 100 km/h in just 3 seconds and has a top speed of 200 km/h.\n\n\nThe LF-Z Electrified evolves the \u201cLexus Driving Signature,\u201d a unique Lexus driving experience that aims for a linear response that is faithful to the driver\u2019s intentions, including the feeling of seamlessly connecting deceleration, steering and acceleration in all driving situations. The LF-Z Electrified achieves an ideal balance and inertia by optimally positioning the battery and motors. The electrification technology allows for innovative packaging and design, and raises the Lexus Driving Signature to an even higher level by significantly evolving the basic performance of the vehicle.\n\n\nBy orienting the battery assembly longitudinally under the floor of the vehicle, the chassis becomes more rigid and the vehicle\u2019s center of gravity is lowered for improved dynamics. In addition, this design helps mitigate vibrations and unpleasant noises from penetrating the passenger cabin. The Lexus DNA of quietness and ride comfort has evolved dramatically yet remains.\n\n\nExterior Features of the Lexus LF-Z Electrified\n\n\nThe LF-Z Electrified aims for a simple and captivating shape rooted in strong proportions and a distinctive appearance. Specifically, the overall form, which starts low in the front and peaks toward the rear, as suggestive of a BEV, is composed of a continuous silhouette centered on a smooth cabin. Large-diameter wheels that transmit the power of the high-power electric motors to the road surface are situated as much as possible at the vehicle\u2019s four corners for a wide stance with a low center of gravity. . The accentuation of the doors fluently transitions from the front wheels to the rear wheels, which are surrounded by shiny, projecting, flare-shaped molding.\n\n\n\n\nIn the rear, a clean and simple horizontal design combines with the molding that emphasizes the projecting wheels to express a powerful stance in support of a torque-strong driving force. Also, horizontally displaying \u201cLEXUS\u201d in the continuous slender rear combination lamp contributes to styling that, along with the front of the vehicle, symbolizes the next generation of Lexus.\n\n\nInterior Features of the Lexus LF-Z Electrified\n\n\nMoving on to the inside of the car, the cockpit was designed based on the new concept of \u201cTazuna\u201d (\u201ctazuna\u201d is Japanese for \u201crein\u201d). Inspired by the relationship between horse and rider, who communicate through a single rein, steering wheel-mounted switches and the vehicle\u2019s head-up display have been highly coordinated to create a space in which various functions, such as the navigation system, audio system, and driving mode selection, can be performed while concentrating on driving and without movement of the driver\u2019s line of sight or need to operate complicated switches.\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.lexus.com/LF-Z-Electrified/The%20Future%20of%20Space_1400x580.mp4\n\n\nWhile the cockpit is a key focal point, the low positioning of the instrument panel relative to the vehicle occupants and other measures are used to express a refreshing minimalism and a space that offers true Omotenashi. The entire interior has been made a clean and high-quality space by a form that seamlessly connects the cowl to the front doors and on to the rear doors. Also, a panoramic roof uses long plates of glass that bring about a feeling of openness, emphasizing the minimalist environment. It is also equipped with entertainment functions such as dimming for privacy and shade, or illumination to reflect the passing night sky. In the center of the roof is a touch panel that connects the front and rear seats and is used for communication between passengers. The reclining rear seats are equipped with a massage function, bringing a soothing and peaceful time to all passengers when traveling.\n\n\nThe next generation Mark Levinsoni audio system can reproduce a concert hall-like audio experience. With the next-generation sound management function, active noise cancellation facilitates interaction or privacy amongst passengers, providing a quiet and comfortable interior space.\n\n\nWhile the augmented reality head-up display, gauges, touch display, and other information-provision functions are grouped into a single module, driving system functions are concentrated around the steering wheel. This suggests the direction of next-generation Lexus interior styling, with expanded forward visibility and the driver being naturally invited to look forward.\n\n\n\n\nAdvanced Features of the LF-Z Electrified\n\n\nIn the LF-Z Electrified, Artificial Intelligence (AI), which learns the driver\u2019s preferences and behavioral characteristics, provides constant support to the driver. Voice communication contributes to improved operability while driving. The voice recognition system uses the latest AI to recognize, learn, and adapt to a\n\ndriver\u2019s habits and preferences, supporting with tasks such as determining driving routes and making restaurant reservations. Such interactivity between AI and driver leads to a fruitful dialogue, thus improving the overall ownership and driving experience, adding color to the customer\u2019s life as a lifestyle concierge.\n\n\nThe use of a digital key allows family and friends to access the car without having to hand over a conventional key, in addition to operating the vehicle with a smartphone, such as opening and closing the door locks. Also, by enabling service providers to access the car via the digital key, it will be possible to provide vehicle-linked services such as package delivery to the car or car sharing, making life with a car even richer.\n\n\n\n\nThe E-Latch system makes door opening and closing smoother and safer. When boarding, the retractable door handle automatically appears above the vehicle\u2019s surface when a driver or passenger approaches with key in hand. The door can be unlocked and opened smoothly by touching the sensor inside the handle. When\n\nexiting the vehicle, the door can be opened by pressing the door-opening switch. An added benefit: LF-Z Electrified\u2019s sensors scan the surrounding environment for oncoming and adjacent traffic prior to passenger egress to provide an additional layer of passenger safety.\n\n\n\n\nREAD MORE: \nWhat is the Driving Range of EVs?

Although numerous new cars were announced, their launch had to ultimately be delayed. This was due in big part to the COVID-19 disruptions as well as the worldwide silicon chip shortage. However, car manufacturers have continued to push through to bring their latest and best cars to us, especially in the latter half of 2021. With 2022 here, we can expect some exciting new cars to be launched in Malaysia, from local favorites to cutting-edge \nelectric vehicles\n (EVs). Below are some of the most anticipated cars we can expect to see in 2022.\n\n\n\n\nImage source: \nMazda\n\n\nMazda\u2019s New EV \u2013 Mazda MX-30\n\n\nThe Mazda MX-30 is Mazda\u2019s first electric vehicle (EV). It debuted at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show and was reportedly planned for a 2020 launch in Malaysia. However, the launch was pushed back due to COVID-19 disruptions. It will now be launched here in 2022 as confirmed by Bermaz Auto to its shareholders and partner banks.\n\n\nThe Mazda MX-30 has a 35.5 kWh battery that powers a motor, producing 145 PS of power and 264 Nm of torque with a range of up to 224 km. Although its range is on the lower side, it can charge up to 80% within 30 to 40 minutes with a 40 kW DC charger. This will be enough range for a daily commute within the Klang Valley. \nMazda\n produces some of the best driver\u2019s cars and if its price is right, the Mazda MX-30 can be an exciting new electric car for Malaysians.\n\n\n\n\nImage source: \nKia Media\n\n\nKorea\u2019s Most Exciting EV \u2013 Kia EV6\n\n\nAnother new electric car to look out for in 2022 is the Kia EV6. It\u2019s the first EV from \nKia\n, developed on the Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), same as the \nHyundai\n Ioniq 5. The Kia EV6 will reportedly be launched in the third or fourth quarter of 2022 which allows it to take advantage of Malaysia\u2019s proposed EV tax exemption. The EV6 is available in several powertrain configurations.\u00a0\n\n\nThe base variant with a 58 kWh battery and a rear electric motor produces 170 PS of power and 350 Nm of torque while having a range of 394 km. The range-topping GT model, on the other hand, has a 77.4 kWh battery and outputs 584 PS of power and 740 Nm of torque. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds and has a range of 424 km.\n\n\nRead: \nWhy EVs are The Future\n\n\n\n\nImage source: \nFacebook\n\n\nHonda\u2019s Updated Seven-Seater \u2013 Honda BR-V\n\n\nThe all-new second-generation \nHonda BR-V\n was announced to the world in September 2021 but its prices were revealed later in November at the Gaikindo Indonesia Auto Show 2021 (GIIAS). The price of the seven-seater \nsport-utility vehicle (SUV)\n ranges from IDR 275.9 million (RM80,500) up to IDR 339.9 million (RM99,200) in Indonesia. This price range is close to the current price of the BR-V in Malaysia though it will be subject to our market condition and taxes. Powering the new 2022 car is a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder DOHC engine producing 121 PS of power at 6,600 rpm and 145 Nm of torque at 4,300 rpm. Finally, the 2022 Honda BR-V gets Honda\u2019s SENSING safety suite which includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist System, Collision Mitigation Braking System, and more.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nImage Source: \nGeely\n\n\nProton\u2019s Large SUV \u2013 Proton X90\n\n\nBased on spy shots of a large SUV test-driving on Malaysian roads in late 2021, there are rumors that \nProton\u2019s\n new car in 2022 could be the X90. Based on the Geely Haoyue (or the Geely Okavango in international markets), the Proton X90 is a seven-seater SUV. Its powertrain is not confirmed for the Malaysian market, but based on the Geely Okavango sold in the Philippines, it may have a 1.5-liter 3-cylinder turbocharged engine producing 192 PS of power at 5,500 rpm and 300 Nm of torque from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm.\u00a0\n\n\nIt also has a whopping 2,050-liters of boot space with the second and third-row seats folded down. Prices in the Philippines range from 1,208,000 PHP (RM99,000) to 1,328,000 PHP (RM108,400). Looking at how the \nProton X50\n and \nX70\n were well-received in the market, the new Proton X90 has the potential to be one of the bestselling cars in Malaysia for 2022.\n\n\n\n\nImage source: \nToyota\n\n\nPerodua\u2019s Long-Awaited Update \u2013 Perodua Alza\n\n\nThe first generation \nPerodua Alza\n is one of the top-selling \nfamily cars\n in Malaysia. That said, it has been in the market for over 12 years and is long overdue for an update. This compact \nmulti-purpose vehicle (MPV)\n was based on the Daihatsu Boon Luminas and has gone through numerous minor updates. However, due to the platform\u2019s age, the first-generation Alza is lacking in the more advanced safety features seen in other new cars in Malaysia.\u00a0\n\n\nWith the new 2022 Perodua Alza D27A, we can expect advanced features such as LED lights all-around, a new dual-mode continuously variable transmission (D-CVT), and \nPerodua\u2019s\n latest Advanced Safety Assist (ASA). The second-generation Perodua Alza will be built on the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) which also underpins the \nToyota Avanza\n which the new Alza will be based on. The launch date of the new car isn\u2019t confirmed, though it\u2019s likely to be in the second quarter of 2022.\n\n\nNew Cars You Can Book This Chinese New Year\n\n\nChinese New Year is just around the corner and purchasing a new car is a great way to usher in this new season of prosperity. If you\u2019re looking to buy a new car this year but would rather not wait months just for it to be launched, there are some that you can book right now. Below are some new 2022 cars in Malaysia that are open for booking.\n\n\n\n\nImage source: \nHonda\n\n\n2022 11th-Generation Honda Civic\n\n\nThe 2022 \nHonda Civic\n, which is the 11th-generation FE model is available for booking. While complete details of the car were not shared, Honda did preview the range-topping RS model powered by an updated 1.5-liter VTEC turbocharged engine. This engine produces 182 PS of power at 6,000 rpm and 240 Nm of torque from 1,700 to 4,500 rpm.\u00a0\n\n\nThe new Civic sports a more refined and mature look compared to the 10th-generation model, an overall cleaner and upmarket interior, as well as the latest \nHonda\n SENSING safety suite. Prices for the new Honda Civic are not confirmed though it\u2019s highly likely that it\u2019ll only be available in a 1.5-liter turbo configuration. The Honda Civic has been the bestselling C-segment car in Malaysia so if you\u2019re looking for a superb \nsedan\n, you can\u2019t go wrong with the 2022 version.\n\n\n\n\nImage source: \nToyota\n\n\n2022 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid\n\n\nThe Toyota Corolla Cross has been available in Malaysia since 2021, but the hybrid version was only announced and made available for booking in October of the same year. The Corolla Cross Hybrid sits on the same Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform as the Corolla Cross and \nCorolla sedan\n meaning that it has the same comfort and road stability as its siblings. It\u2019s powered by a 1.8-liter petrol engine paired with an electric motor for a total output of 122 PS.\u00a0\n\n\nWith the TNGA platform, the Corolla Cross Hybrid manages to store its battery under the rear seats to retain an impressive 440-liter of boot space, which is often sacrificed in other hybrid vehicles. It also has \nToyota\u2019s\n Vehicle Telematics System (VTS), Toyota Safety Sense driver assistance system, and more. The price of the Corolla Cross Hybrid starts from RM137,000.\n\n\n\n\nImage Source: \nPerodua\n\n\n2022 Perodua Myvi Facelift\n\n\nThe \nPerodua Myvi\n, Malaysia\u2019s best-selling car, received a new facelift in November 2021 and it introduced a host of improvements. The new car got a revised exterior, a new D-CVT, updated ASA 3.0, and other new quality-of-life updates to make it an even better car. Although it retains the same engine, the new transmission helps provide a 5% improvement in fuel economy and a 20% quicker acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h.\u00a0\n\n\nIt also gets a new Power button that gives the car more power, useful for overtaking on the highway. Inside, it gets an updated meter cluster, a new steering wheel, new fabric and leather seats, as well as layout improvements for ease of use. Prices for the Myvi range from RM45,700 to RM58,800 making it a suitable choice for any budget.\n\n\nRead:\u00a0\nTop Sold Used Sedans in Malaysia\n\n\nWith all the new cars lined up to be launched, 2022 is shaping up to be an exciting year for car buyers and enthusiasts. The number of new launches means you get to choose from some of the best new cars in Malaysia with the latest technologies instead of facelifts with minor updates.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you\u2019d prefer to \nbuy a second-hand car\n, CARSOME has some excellent options for you.

Tayar kereta yang berkualiti memainkan peranan untuk keselesaan pengendalian, kawalan stereng serta cengkaman tayar yang lebih baik. Meskipun begitu, ramai dalam kalangan pemilik kereta tidak kira lelaki mahupun perempuan mengabaikan aspek penjagaan tayar yang baik dan selamat. Penjagaan tayar yang betul dapat mengelakkan insiden-insiden yang mungkin boleh membahayakan nyawa anda sepanjang pemanduan.\n\n\n7 Cara Penjagaan Tayar Kereta Anda Perlu Tahu\n\n\nCarsome menyenaraikan 7 cara penjagaan tayar dan pengetahuan asas berkaitan tayar yang perlu diketahui untuk panduan anda:\n\n\n\n\n1. Pemilihan Saiz Tayar Kereta\n\n\nJika anda sukakan kereta dengan penampilan standard, anda mungkin tidak kisah dengan saiz rim kereta anda. Namun begitu, bagi pemilik yang gemar mengubah suai atau \nmodified\n kereta, rim tayar merupakan antara aksesori kereta yang akan ditukar. Penggunaan saiz tayar yang tidak bersesuaian dengan saiz rim boleh memberi kesan terhadap tayar dan kereta anda.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \n1\n0 Jenis \u2018Sport Rim\u2019 atau Rim Tayar yang Popular di Malaysia\n\n\n2. Tekanan Angin Tayar Kereta\n\n\nPeriksa tekanan angin tayar sekurangnya-kurangnya sebulan sekali atau setiap dua minggu. Tekanan angin tayar yang tidak sesuai boleh menyebabkan pemanduan kurang selesa selain terdedah kepada kerosakan, cengkaman dan kawalan pemanduan yang tidak baik. Tekanan angin tayar yang betul dapat menjimatkan bahan api, menguatkan cengkaman tayar atas jalan, mengelakkan kehausan tayar yang tidak sekata dan meningkatkan jangka hayat tayar.\n\n\nCara Memeriksa Tekanan Angin Tayar Kereta\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParkir kereta di kawasan yang rata, pastikan tayar berada dalam keadaan lurus;\n\n\nLukis satu garisan di atas bunga tayar;\n\n\nPandu perlahan-lahan sehingga garisan hilang;\n\n\nSekiranya garisan hilang dengan sekata pada keseluruhan tayar, ia menandakan tekanan angin bersesuaian;\n\n\nJika garisan hilang pada bahagian tengah, ia menandakan tekanan angin berlebihan atau terlalu keras;\n\n\nJika garisan hilang pada bahagian sisi, ia menandakan tayar kekurangan angin\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnda boleh merujuk pelekat maklumat tayar yang biasanya terdapat pada pintu sebelah pemandu untuk mengetahui kadar tekanan angin tayar yang bersesuaian. Pelekat ini memaparkan maklumat mengenai ukuran tayar, spesifikasi serta tekanan yang sesuai untuk kesemua tayar termasuk tayar ganti. Selain itu, \nanda disarankan untuk meningkatkan tekanan tayar anda sebanyak 3 PSI jika anda meninggalkan kenderaan anda untuk suatu tempoh masa yang lama. Ia bertujuan untuk mengelakkan masalah bintik mendatar atau\n flat-spotting\n. Masalah ini biasa berlaku apabila kereta dibiarkan tidak bergerak untuk jangka masa yang panjang.\n\n\nSecara amnya, terdapat dua jenis bintik mendatar \u2013 sementara dan separa kekal. Sebilangan besar kes bintik mendatar ini adalah sementara dan boleh dirasai melalui getaran pada stereng. Namun begitu, getaran ini akan hilang apabila tayar telah mencapai suhu yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nPunca Kerosakan Tayar Kereta Yang Patut Anda Tahu\n\n\n3. Tukar Silang Kedudukan Tayar\n\n\nSelain mengisi tekanan angin yang bersesuaian untuk tayar kereta, anda juga disyorkan untuk menukar kedudukan tayar atau \ntyre rotation\n secara berkala. Cara ini berkesan untuk memastikan \nkehausan tayar yang seragam\n \npada keempat-empat tayar. Selain itu, cara ini juga dapat membantu memanjangkan jangka hayat dan mengurangkan risiko kerosakan tayar kereta. Anda disarankan untuk melakukan pertukaran silang ini sekurang-kurangnya setiap enam bulan sekali atau setiap 10,000 km hingga 13,000 km.\n\n\n4. \nAlignment\n dan\n Balancing\n Tayar\n\n\nAnda disarankan untuk melakukan \nalignment\n dan\n balancing\n tayar setiap tiga bulan bergantung pada keadaan tayar kereta anda. Proses\n alignment\n tayar penting untuk memastikan kereta berada dalam keadaan baik dan memastikan cengkaman tayar yang optimum semasa di atas jalan raya. Manakala, proses \nbalancing\n pula merujuk proses tayar diseimbangkan dengan meletakkan timah atau pemberat pada tayar.\n\n\n\n\nCara Mengesan \nAlignment\n Tayar Kereta Bermasalah\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKetika memandu, cuba lepaskan stereng anda seketika. Sekiranya stereng kereta dilepaskan dan kereta bergerak lurus, ia menandakan \nalignment\n anda berada dalam keadaan baik. Namun begitu, jika stereng dilepaskan dan kereta bergerak ke kiri atau ke kanan, ia menandakan\n alignment\n kereta anda bermasalah dan perlu diservis segera;\n\n\nParkir kereta dan pastikan tayar hadapan berada dalam keadaan lurus. Jika kedudukan stereng tidak selari dengan kedudukan tayar, ia mungkin menandakan masalah \nalignment\n;\n\n\nKehausan bunga tayar yang tidak sekata turut menandakan masalah \nalignment\n kereta. Lakukan servis dengan segera untuk mengelakkan berlaku perkara yang tidak diingini atau kos servis yang lebih besar.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCara Mengesan\n Balancing\n Tayar Kereta Bermasalah\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStereng bergegar dengan kuat apabila anda memandu dengan had kelajuan antara 80km/j hingga 100km/j, ia menandakan balancing kereta anda bermasalah.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Kod Tayar Kereta\n\n\nSetiap tayar yang dijual di pasaran memaparkan maklumat terperinci mengenai jenis, saiz, tahap bebanan, kelajuan yang boleh ditampung serta minggu dan tahun pembuatan tayar. Maklumat ini secara tidak langsung boleh membantu anda membuat pilihan tayar yang sesuai dan selamat. Jika anda perasan, terdapat nombor dan angka pada bahagian sisi tayar. Apakah maksud gabungan angka dan huruf ini?\n\n\n\n\nJika diperhatikan pada tayar di atas, terdapat nombor 175/65 R15 (84 H). Ketahui penerangan terperinci yang disediakan dalam jadual di bawah:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpesifikasi Kod Tayar Kereta\n\n\nPenerangan\n\n\n\n\n\n\n175\n\n\nSaiz kelebaran tayar (mm)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n65\n\n\nPeratusan ketinggian dinding tayar\n\n\n\n\n\n\nR\n\n\nRadial\n\n\n\n\n\n\n15\n\n\nDiameter saiz rim (inci)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n84\n\n\nIndeks had muatan (kg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nH\n\n\nIndeks kelajuan maksimum (km/j)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDi Malaysia, semua tayar yang dijual dan selamat digunakan di atas jalan raya perlu memiliki kod tayar kereta yang memaparkan minggu dan tahun pengeluaran. Berdasarkan gambar di atas, ia menandakan tayar ini dibuat pada minggu ke 25 tahun 2019. Oleh itu, jika anda ingin menukar tayar baharu, pastikan anda memeriksa tahun pembuatannya terlebih dahulu. Beli tayar keluaran terbaharu atau daripada tahun pengeluaran semasa untuk mengelakkan jangka hayat tayar tidak bertahan lama.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSimbol Kelajuan\n\n\nIndeks Kelajuan Maksimum (km/j)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nS\n\n\n180 km/j\n\n\n\n\n\n\nT\n\n\n190 km/j\n\n\n\n\n\n\nU\n\n\n200 km/j\n\n\n\n\n\n\nH\n\n\n210 km/j\n\n\n\n\n\n\nV\n\n\n240 km/j\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZ*\n\n\n240+ km/j\n\n\n\n\n\n\nW\n\n\n270 km/j\n\n\n\n\n\n\nY\n\n\n300 km/j\n\n\n\n\n\n\n(Y)\n\n\n300+ km/j\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCatatan: Pada mulanya, simbol Z* diseragamkan untuk melabelkan kadar kelajuan yang melebihi 240 km/j. Namun begitu, simbol W dan Y mula diperkenalkan apabila terdapat penghasilan kereta dengan kelajuan yang lebih pantas.\n\n\nSelain itu, tayar kereta juga turut memaparkan tahap kelajuan dan bebanan yang boleh ditampung. Tayar yang dipandu melebihi had kelajuan yang ditetapkan boleh meningkatkan penggunaan bahan bakar. Manakala, berat bebanan yang berlebihan boleh menyebabkan kerosakan tayar dengan lebih cepat.\n\n\n\n\n6. Cara Pemanduan\n\n\nAmbil kira faktor-faktor seperti permukaan jalan atau cara pemanduan sebelum memilih jenis tayar yang sesuai untuk kenderaan anda. Selain itu, pertimbangkan aspek-aspek lain seperti kos tayar, keselesaan, ketahanan, prestasi dan penjimatan bahan api.

Kehausan Bunga Tayar\n\n\nPemeriksaan tayar seperti tahap kehausan tayar boleh mencegah dan mengurangkan risiko kemalangan jiwa yang boleh meragut nyawa anda. Ketahui dua langkah mudah untuk periksa tayar seperti yang disenaraikan di bawah:\n\n\ni. Indikator Bunga Tayar Haus\n\n\nKebanyakan pemilik kereta tidak menyedari bahawa tayar dilengkapi dengan bar indikator haus yang membolehkan pemeriksaan kadar kehausan bunga tayar diperiksa dengan berkesan. Kebiasaannya, terdapat bar kecil melintang di bahagian tengah bunga tayar yang menandakan kedalaman minimun bunga tayar. Semakin rapat bunga tayar dengan bar tersebut, semakin haus tayar anda.\n\n\nii. Kerosakan Tayar\n\n\nSelain kadar kehausan bunga tayar, periksa juga keadaan tayar \u2013 perhatikan tanda-tanda kerosakan seperti koyakan, hirisan, bonjolan atau kebocoran tayar. Jika anda menyedari sebarang ketidaknormalan pada bahagian kereta anda, bawa kereta anda ke mana-mana bengkel berhampiran anda. Tayar yang tidak berada dalam keadaan baik boleh menyebabkan kenderaan hilang kawalan dan risiko kemalangan jiwa.\n\n\n\n\nSemoga perkongsian mengenai penjagaan tayar kereta ini dapat membantu anda sebelum membeli atau menggantikan tayar yang sesuai untuk kenderaan anda.

Here are the Top New Cars in 2023", "By\n \nDevan S", "27/02/2023", "\n\n\n\n\n", "The Malaysian auto industry has enjoyed exciting growth in the last year as our economy recovers from the pandemic, and this year looks to be even better. With numerous new car launches expected in 2023, Malaysians look set to be spoilt for choice. From \nToyota\n to \nMercedes-Benz\n, here are the top new cars in Malaysia for 2023.\n\n\n1. Toyota\n\n\n\n\nOne of the biggest car companies in the world, \nToyota\n, has some exciting new car releases in Malaysia for 2023. In February alone, Toyota launched six exciting vehicles with three full-fledged Gazoo Razing (GR) \nsports cars, \ntwo vehicles with the GR Sport trim, and the new-generation Toyota Vios.\n\n\n3 Manual Sports Cars in A Year?!\n\n\nThe GR86 is the successor to the GT86 that was released in 2012 and comes with a host of improvements including a larger 2.4-liter naturally aspirated boxer engine, an overall stiffer chassis, and suspension tuning to make it much more fun.\u00a0\n\n\nThe GR Corolla, on the other hand, comes with the same 1.6-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine as the GR Yaris but with 300 horses under the hood. Plus, it\u2019s only available with a manual gearbox. The GR Supra has been in Malaysia for a few years but it now comes with an optional manual gearbox \u2013 something that fans have demanded since the car first came out. Finally, the Supra can be driven how it\u2019s meant to be driven.\n\n\n\n\nToyota GR Sport Vehicles\n\n\nComing to the GR Sport line of vehicles, Toyota launched the Hilux GR Sport and \nCorolla Cross\n GR Sport. Both vehicles retain their powertrains with The Hilux GR Sport\u2019s being a 2.8-liter four-cylinder engine and the Corolla Cross GR Sport\u2019s being a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated mill. Both vehicles receive more aggressive styling, GR badging both inside and out, and slight tweaks in the chassis to give them sportier handling.\n\n\nFinally, the All-New Toyota Vios\n\n\n\n\nLastly, Toyota has announced the all-new \nToyota Vios\n on 24 February. It\u2019s built on the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) making it a truly next-generation vehicle. The Vios is called the Yaris Ativ in Thailand, and if what\u2019s offered in Thailand is anything to go by, you can expect a long list of improvements in terms of exterior styling, interior trim, tech, and safety features. Toyota is even developing a hybrid powertrain for its A and B segment vehicles so we can expect to have a Toyota Vios hybrid, though it\u2019s not clear if that will be this year.\n\n\nRead More: \nUsed Third-Gen Toyota Vios Buying Guide\n\n\n2. Honda\n\n\n\n\nHonda\n has released several new cars in recent years with \nthe \nHonda City\n, \nCivic\n, and \nHR-V\n, but we can still expect some exciting new Honda cars in 2023 for Malaysia. Honda is expected to launch the updated \nBR-V\n and an all-new mini SUV \u2013 the Honda WR-V possibly in March.\u00a0\n\n\nThe seven-seater 2023 Honda BR-V will have a more mature, upscale styling similar to the 2022 HR-V. And while it has the same 1.5-liter engine as before, it should come with better fuel economy. Next up, the Honda WR-V is a new SUV that could give the popular \nPerodua Ativa\n a run for its money. It has the staple 1.5-liter engine used in other Honda models and if prices in Indonesia are anything to go by, the WR-V could be cheaper than the City when it comes to our shores.\n\n\n\n\nWhile the Honda Civic Type-R was recently launched in other markets in late 2022, there\u2019s no news if we\u2019ll get it this year. Equipped with the same 2.0-liter turbocharged engine as before, with various other improvements to the powertrain, it puts out 319 PS of power. If we do get the Honda Civic Type-R in Malaysia in 2023, it will probably be closer to the fourth quarter of the year.\n\n\n3. Perodua\n\n\n\n\nPerodua\n has been pumping out best-sellers in the past few years and this year seems to be no different. In fact, Perodua\u2019s new car for 2023 was just launched in February and it\u2019s the next-generation \nPerodua Axia\n.\u00a0\n\n\nWhile it still comes with the same 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine as before, unlike the turbocharged engine in the Daihatsu Ayla and Toyota Agya that our neighbor, Indonesia gets, the Axia still enjoys some major improvements. It has a brand new DNGA platform, a new D-CVT (dual-mode continuously variable transmission), larger dimensions with a bigger boot, and better tech overall.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Proton\n\n\n\n\nThe Geely Haoyue which the Proton X90 is based on\n\n\nProton\n has been a little quiet in the last two years when it comes to brand-new model launches, and that\u2019s mainly due to setbacks caused by the pandemic. However, It\u2019s finally going to launch two long-awaited vehicles, namely the Proton X90 seven-seater SUV and the \nPersona\n-replacing Proton S50 sedan.\n\n\n\n\nThe Geely Emgrand which the Proton S50 is based on\n\n\nBoth vehicles have been spotted testing on the road in full camo numerous times over the past year, so we expect their launches to be imminent. The X90 is based on the Geely Haoyue, while the S50 is based on the Geely Emgrand.\u00a0\n\n\nIf the \nProton X70\n and \nX50\n are anything to go by, we can expect Proton\u2019s new cars for 2023 to have upmarket styling, refinement, and be jam-packed with tech features including smartwatch connectivity. With the Proton X Watch, you can remotely unlock your car\u2019s doors, start the engine, turn on the aircon, and more. That said, if you want the X Watch, you\u2019ll have to cough up RM1,499 to purchase it as it\u2019s currently not included with Proton cars.\n\n\nRead More: \nProton Saga or Perodua Bezza: Best Used Entry Sedan\n\n\n5. Chery\n\n\n\n\nChery isn\u2019t a brand many Malaysians pay attention to, but it has recently made a comeback in Malaysia, especially with its preview of the Chery Omoda 5 late last year. The Omoda 5 brings aggressive styling with a one-piece diamond grille, a swooping fastback-style roofline, and sharp edges. Technical specifications for the Malaysian version of this car aren\u2019t available yet but it could come with a 1.6-liter turbo engine paired with a seven-speed DCT (dual-clutch transmission) producing 195 PS and 290 Nm of torque \u2013 very impressive indeed. As it\u2019ll be fully locally assembled, it might have an enticing price as well.\n\n\n6. Mercedes-Benz\n\n\n\n\nA new car that took Malaysia by surprise in 2023 is the \nMercedes-Benz\n EQS500 4Matic CKD. It\u2019s the company\u2019s first locally assembled electric vehicle (EV) in Malaysia and is RM50,000 cheaper than the fully imported EQS 450+, though, at RM648,888, it\u2019s not affordable by any means. The EQS 500 4Matic has two electric motors giving it 443 PS of power and all-wheel-drive capabilities. It also has a huge 107.8 kWh battery pack for a 696 km driving range.\n\n\n7. Nissan\n\n\n\n\nNissan\n announced their new car in Malaysia for 2023 over Valentine\u2019s Day with a rather cheeky post and what they\u2019ve revealed is the 2023 Nissan Leaf. The new Leaf will be an updated version of the 2019 Leaf with minor design updates including new colorways, wheels, and tech updates. Although there\u2019s not a lot of information on the updated Nissan Leaf, you can expect it to come in two versions; one with a 148 PS motor and 270 km of range, and a more powerful one with a 215 PS motor and a 385 km range.\n\n\nRead More: \nThe Rise Of Chinese Made Cars In Malaysia and Around the World\n\n\nIs 2023 the Best Year to Buy an EV?\n\n\nIn the past, EVs in Malaysia were prohibitively expensive for most people but that has changed with the introduction of affordable EVs in late 2022. Two Chinese EV automakers that have been making waves with their affordable offerings are Great Wall Motor Malaysia (GWM) and BYD.\n\n\n\n\nGWM currently offers the Ora Good Cat electric hatchback in two variants \u2013 one with a driving range of 400 km and the other with 500 km. Prices range from RM140,000 to RM170,000 making the Ora Good Cat one of the most affordable EVs in Malaysia.\n\n\n\n\nBYD, on the other hand, has an electric crossover \u2013 the BYD Atto 3. It\u2019s available in two variants with driving ranges of 410 km and 480 km respectively. Being a crossover, it\u2019s slightly larger than the Ora Good Cat, offering up to 1,340 liters of boot space with the rear seats folded down. Prices for the BYD Atto 3 range from RM150,000 to RM170,000.\n\n\nFind Your Dream Car on CARSOME!\n\n\nNew cars may be exciting to own but they can also be significantly more expensive than their used counterparts.

China boleh dikatakan memiliki pasaran pengguna dan potensi pertumbuhan kenderaan terbesar di dunia. Malah, China kini sedang melebarkan sayap dalam usahanya untuk menjadi antara peneraju teknologi kereta elektrik terbaik dunia. Selain China, Norway juga merupakan antara negara yang memiliki paling ramai pemilik kereta elektrik diikuti oleh California, Belanda dan Sweden.\n\n\nPelbagai usaha dilakukan oleh kerajaan China untuk menyokong industri kereta elektrik seperti mengagihkan subsidi kerajaan buat pemain industri, sekatan yang lebih longgar dan pembangunan infrastruktur yang lebih baik. Kemunculan pelbagai jenis kereta elektrik di pasaran ini sekali gus memberi lebih banyak pilihan buat pengguna yang ingin memiliki kereta elektrik.\n\n\n\n\nNIO, Syarikat \nStart-up\n Kereta Elektrik China\n\n\nNIO merupakan syarikat automobil yang berpangkalan di Shanghai yang memainkan peranan penting dalam penghasilan dan pembangunan kereta elektrik di China. Syarikat ini ditubuhkan pada November 2014 oleh William Li, Pengerusi Bitauto dan NextEV. Selepas dilancarkan, banyak syarikat menyatakan hasrat untuk melabur termasuk Tencent, Temasek, Baidu, Sequoia, Lenovo dan TPG. Malah, lebih menarik, model pertama NIO iaitu kereta sport NIO EP9 dilancarkan pada hari yang sama jenama ini ditubuhkan.\n\n\nTeknologi Kereta Elektrik NIO\n\n\nNIO Pilot merupakan sistem separa autonomi tahap dua SAE yang menawarkan ciri ADAS (\nAdvanced driver-assistance systems\n). Teknologi ini dilancarkan semasa pengenalan model kereta elektrik NIO ES8. Teknologi ini telah dikemas kini beberapa kali sepanjang tahun 2018 dan 2019, malah turut menampilkan beberapa ciri baharu yang ditambah baik seperti kawalan pengekalan lorong, kawalan pemanduan adaptif, \nlane departure warning\n, brek keselamatan automatik, \nhighway pilot, traffic jam pilot, auto lane change\n dan banyak lagi.\n\n\nSuite sensor NIO Pilot terdiri daripada kamera hadapan \ntrifocal\n, 5 radar, 12 sensor ultrasonik dan kamera monitor pemandu. NIO merupakan pengeluar kereta pertama yang melancarkan model kereta elektrik menggunakan cip penglihatan \nMobileye\u2019s EyeQ4\n. Selain itu, NIO juga turut membangunkan teknologi kecerdasan buatan atau \nartificial intelligence \n(AI) yang dikenali sebagai NOMI yang merupakan sistem AI dalam kenderaan pertama seumpamanya. NOMI dikatakan boleh mengaktifkan sistem navigasi kereta, mengawal muzik dan boleh mengambil gambar \nselfie\n\u00a0atau swafoto penumpang di dalam kabin.\n\n\nModel Kereta Elektrik NIO\n\n\nBerikut merupakan antara model kereta elektrik terkini, model akan dilancarkan dan model konsep yang dimiliki oleh NIO:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNama Model\n\n\nSpesifikasi\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModel Terkini\n\n\nEP9\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJenis Badan: Coupe\n\n\nKelas: Kereta\n Sport\n (S)\n\nPintu: 2\n\n\nTempat Duduk: 2\n\n\nBateri: \nIndirectly Water-Cooled Electric Motors\n\n\nPengeluaran: 2016 \u2013 sekarang\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEC6\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJenis Badan: SUV\n\n\nKelas: Saiz Pertengahan (J)\n\n\nPintu: 5\n\n\nTempat Duduk: 5\n\n\nBateri: Bateri Lithium-Ion\n\n\nPengeluaran: 2020 \u2013 sekarang\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nES6\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJenis Badan: SUV\n\n\nKelas: Saiz Pertengahan (J)\n\n\nPintu: 5\n\n\nTempat Duduk: 5\n\n\nBateri: Bateri Lithium-Ion\n\n\nPengeluaran: 2019 \u2013 sekarang\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nES8\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJenis Badan: SUV\n\n\nKelas: Full-size (J)\n\n\nPintu: 5\n\n\nTempat Duduk: 6\n\n\nBateri: Bateri Lithium-Ion\n\n\nPengeluaran: 2018 \u2013 sekarang\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModel Akan Dilancarkan\n\n\nEF9\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJenis Badan: Minivan\n\n\nKelas: Minivan (M)\n\n\nPintu: 5\n\n\nTempat Duduk: 7/8\n\n\nBateri: Bateri Lithium-Ion\n\n\nPengeluaran: 2022 (jangkaan)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nES3\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJenis Badan: SUV\n\n\nKelas: Subkompak (J)\n\n\nPintu: 5\n\n\nTempat Duduk: 5\n\n\nBateri: Bateri Lithium-Ion\n\n\nPengeluaran: 2022 (jangkaan)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nET5\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJenis Badan: Sedan\n\nKelas: Kompak (C)\n\n\nPintu: 4\n\n\nTempat Duduk: 4\n\n\nBateri: Bateri Lithium-Ion\n\n\nPengeluaran: 2021 (jangkaan)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nET7\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJenis Badan: Sedan\n\n\nKelas: Saiz Pertengahan (E)\n\n\nPintu: 4\n\n\nTempat Duduk: 4\n\n\nBateri: Bateri Lithium-Ion\n\n\nPengeluaran: 2021 (jangkaan)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModel Konsep\n\n\nET Preview\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJenis Badan: Sedan\n\n\nKelas: Saiz Pertengahan (E)\n\n\nPintu: 4\n\n\nTempat Duduk: 4\n\n\nBateri: Bateri Lithium-Ion\n\n\nPengeluaran: 2019 (\npreviewing upcoming model\n)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEve\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJenis Badan: \nStation Wagon\n\n\nKelas: Kenderaan Autonomi Kompak (C)\n\n\nPintu: 2\n\n\nTempat Duduk: 4\n\n\nPengeluaran: 2017 (\npreviewing a possible upcoming model\n)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRekod Dunia \u2013\n NIO EP9 Supercar\n Elektrik Terpantas di Dunia\n\n\nModel kereta elektrik NIO EP9 memegang lima rekod pusingan terpantas bagi kategori kereta berkuasa elektrik di trak lumba \nN\u00fcrburgring Nordschleife, Circuit Paul Ricard, Circuit of the Americas\n\u00a0dan \nShanghai International Circuit.\n\n\n\n\nNIO \n\u2013 \nTesla China\n Lancarkan Sedan Pertama, ET7\n\n\nSyarikat\n start-up\n kereta elektrik China, NIO melancarkan kereta elektrik sedan pertama menampilkan teknologi pandu sendiri yang dikatakan mampu menandingi Tesla.

The Nissan Sentra, also known as Nissan Sylphy, here in Malaysia, is the brand\u2019s best-selling car of all time.\n\n\n\n\nThe last two generations of Nissan Sentra have followed a simple formula: a spacious interior, a smooth ride, great gas mileage, and low prices. For many, this was certainly a winning formula. But the 2020 Nissan Sentra was exclusively designed to compete with Honda\u2019s latest Civic thanks to its new improvements and styles which overrides its previous models in so many ways.\n\n\nWhat\u2019s New for Nissan Sentra?\n\n\nThe 2020 Nissan Sentra received a total overhaul so that means new looks, new dimensions, new interior design and materials, new driving dynamics and new performance specs.\n If you were considering a Sentra, this is the one you want. The new platform paired with multi-link rear suspension, and Nissan\u2019s subtle brake-activated Active Ride Control leads to a car that\u2019s much nicer to drive than the one it replaces. The interior design and material quality represent significant improvements over the old car. The cabin is also practical, with ample charge ports and cubbies.\u00a0 There are three trim levels available which are the Sentra S (base level), Sentra SV (mid-level) and Sentra SR (premium).\n\n\nPerformance and Fuel Economy\n\n\nThe new 2020 Nissan Sentra gets a new 2.0L four-cylinder engine that produces 149 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. The only transmission choice is a CVT and has totally forgo the manual transmission gear. One difference that you will definitely notice is the slow pickup as it drags itself from 0 to 60 km/h in 9.2 seconds, which is 1-2 seconds slower than its competitor. \nEPA fuel economy estimates are 28-29/37-39 mpg city/highway, depending on the trim.\n\n\nExterior\n\n\n\n\nThe new Sentra is about 2 inches wider and 2 inches lower than its predecessor. The changes are instantly evident. Wider, lower vehicles look inherently sportier than taller, narrower ones, and Nissan took full advantage of these proportions. The headlights are low and slimmer compared to the older models and they stretch out towards the centre of the car, where the black and chrome grille reaches down almost to the ground. The grille is smaller, and it integrates more smoothly with the headlights.\n\n\nInterior\n\n\n\n\nThe 2020 Sentra\u2019s interior is an improvement from the previous version, with more inspired design and better materials that give it an altogether more upmarket and sportier feel than before. A lower driver\u2019s seat with more aggressive bolstering makes it more driver focused. We like the mix of materials on offer \u2014 which can be complemented by contrasting stitching and orange or charcoal accents \u2014 instead of vast, boring stretch plastic. There are cloth upholstery options, as well as a leatherette and even a tan leather option with quilted stitching. Heated seats and steering wheel are also available.\n\n\nA 7-inch touchscreen is standard equipment in the S trim, while the SV and SR have 8-inch units. This car still features buttons for the important audio and HVAC functions, and all come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. In addition to two standard USB ports (one front, one rear), the SV and SL trims gain a USB-C port as well. It still has analog gauges, with a digital information display in the centre of the instrument panel. It offers available adaptive cruise control and can be had with the ultra-helpful \u201cAround View\u201d 360-degree parking camera.\n\n\nSafety\n\n\nJust like all the other Nissan sedans, Nissan Sentra 2020 is made with Nissan Safety Shield 360, a suite of six driver-assistance features including blind-spot monitoring, and automated braking assistance. \nThe base model S comes with forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, forward and reverse automatic emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. Lane departure warning, automatic high beams, and a rear-view camera are also standard. The SV gets adaptive cruise control, while the SR adds a surround-view parking system and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror.\n\n\nIn conclusion, the new Nissan Sentra is the car that you need as it redefines luxury at an affordable price. If you are looking to upgrade your car, you can always sell off your current car to us at \nCarsome\n. You can also check out our range of quality used Nissan cars as your next upgrade.

It has consistently been one of the most popular passenger cars. In fact, this calendar year, it\u2019s number-one in its class in Japan, with more than 33,000 units sold so far\u201d, he said.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Locally assembled, the new Serena is powered by a 2.0L direct-injected twin-CVTC four-cylinder petrol engine. It\u2019s power output stands at 148 hp at 6,000 rpm with a torque of 200 Nm at 4,400 rpm. The unit is paired to XTRONIC CVT with Adaptive Shift Control (ASC). Adoption of the new Dual Arm Tensioner (DAT) works to maintain optimal tensile force on the belt to reduce friction, reduce power lost and increase fuel efficiency.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Improvements have been given to engine, resulting in a 2.8 per cent improvement in power to weight ratio. It also has the best-in-class fuel economy of 14.2 km/ litre which is a 13 per cent fuel economy improvement over its predecessor, thus providing the all-new Serena S-Hybrid an Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) status.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The locally assembled MPV also offers new technologies beginning with \nHands-Free Dual Power Sliding Door \nwhich operates by a simple quick kick below the door to open or close in case your hands are full. \nDual Back Door\n can be opened easily in tight parking space, also \nCapless Fuel Filler\n makes refuelling more convenient, and there are\u00a0\n7 USB-Powered Ports\n for each passenger\u2019s electronic device charging needs.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The modern and premium interior of the vehicle is a plus for both drivers and passengers.

And since the last pandemic, that\u2019s already becoming a norm, especially among younger shoppers. While many would think that online shopping is limited to smaller items like food, clothes, and electronics, we are also actually buying more cars online than ever before.\u00a0\n\n\nSo is this just a temporary post-pandemic trend, or is it here to stay? We say 2023 is when buying your car online becomes the norm, and here are reasons it\u2019s not going anywhere.\n\n\n\n\nThe Rise of Online Car Platforms\n\n\nOne of the main reasons for the shift to buying cars online is the increasing availability of online platforms. Besides reputable online platforms such as \nCARSOME\n, car manufacturers and dealerships are starting to have their own online platforms as well. These allow you to browse the cars, compare different models, customize your vehicle, and even complete the entire purchase process without stepping foot in a physical dealership. Safety concerns during COVID-19 also drove more car buyers to shop online and take advantage of the features of these online platforms.\n\n\nRead More:\n Here\u2019s How You Can Buy a Car Without Leaving Your Home\n\n\nConvenience\n\n\nThe next factor driving consumers to buy their cars online is the convenience it offers. You are now able to shop for cars from the comfort of your own home, so you don\u2019t need to spend hours visiting multiple dealerships, trying to find the right car at the right price.\n\n\nInstead, you can compare prices, features, and reviews from multiple sources, and make a more informed decision. For buyers who\u2019re looking to buy a used car online, CARSOME has other helpful features and services such as 360-degree views of the car, a loan calculator, and even doorstep delivery. All these can further help to reduce the need for in-person visits.\n\n\nAccess to a Variety of Cars\n\n\nAnother benefit of buying cars online is the easy access to a wide variety of cars and brands. You aren\u2019t limited by geographic location when you buy online and therefore can look at a wider selection of cars from multiple platforms or dealerships. This can be especially beneficial for consumers in rural areas or for those looking for a specific make or model that may not be available at a local dealership. For instance, CARSOME has over 1,000 models from close to 30 car brands, and they\u2019re all available for you to purchase.\n\n\nRead More: \nBuying a Pre-owned Car: Here Are Important Checks to Spot a Quality Car\n\n\n\n\nChallenges\n\n\nNow, online car purchasing doesn\u2019t come without its challenges. Here are some notable concerns that you may have with it and the solutions that online car platforms offer.\n\n\nTransparency\n\n\nSome consumers may be concerned about the difficulty in verifying the condition of a car online and are wary of possible hidden fees. Whether you buy a new or used car, you\u2019d want to feel out the car in person and see if it really fits your needs, personality, and lifestyle. Fortunately, most online platforms, including CARSOME, provide detailed information on the car including its specifications and inspection report.\u00a0\n\n\nOf course, independent platforms and carmakers still have showrooms that you can visit to view and test drive the car you\u2019re interested in. Most online car-selling platforms also outline what you get with the car and exactly how much you need to pay for it, so you don\u2019t need to worry about hidden fees.\u00a0\n\n\nAt CARSOME, all the prices listed on our website are fixed and already include the road tax, \nPUSPAKOM\n inspection fee, loan processing fee, ownership transfer fee, and one-year warranty. So the price you see is exactly what you need to pay.\n\n\nRead More: \nCARSOME Certified 101: Everything You Need to Know\n\n\nLack of Personal Interaction\n\n\nAnother concern for consumers who\u2019re buying a car online is the risk of having a cold, impersonal buying experience. The good news is, you won\u2019t need to worry about that. Businesses know how important it is to provide a pleasant shopping experience to their customers, and it\u2019s no different in the auto industry.\n\n\nOnline platforms provide plenty of human support to guide you and answer your questions. In fact, it\u2019s just like having a consultation at a car showroom except that it may not be the first step in your car-buying journey. When you buy a car from CARSOME, our consultants will guide you every step of the way including attending to you during your test-drive, helping you with the paperwork, and finally arranging the delivery of your car.\n\n\n\n\nYou can choose to complete the whole car-buying process online or take a hybrid approach and inspect the car in person first. And no matter which approach you take, it\u2019s certain that the online experience is now a big part of buying a car. As online shopping continues to grow among consumers, buying cars online is also becoming the preferred way to own a car. \n\n\nVisit \nCARSOME\n to find the right car today or download our app from the \nGoogle Play Store\n or \nApple App Store\n.\n\n", "Devan S\nDevan believes written content is here to stay despite our depleting attention span and the rise of short videos.

Similarly, an uninformed car owner and his cash could very well be split apart by an unscrupulous service adviser at a service center.\n\n\nThe latest snake oil being slung in service centers and workshops is an oil filter magnetic trap that\u2019s often recommended by the foreman or service advisers.\n\n\n\n\nWhat Is an Oil Filter Magnetic Trap?\n\n\nIf you\u2019ve not heard of the device before, it\u2019s a magnet that fits around or under the oil filter on the engine. Purportedly, the magnet will isolate metal particles within the oil as it flows through the filter and keeps said particles trapped within the filter. This keeps the oil cleaner from residue and should therefore improve the life expectancy of the engine.\n\n\nNow you might be thinking, \u201cIsn\u2019t that the primary purpose of the oil filter itself?\u201d And you\u2019d be right.\n\n\nMost of the people pushing these oil filter magnets are banking on the fact that it usually costs under RM100 and you\u2019d therefore not think twice about giving it a go. After all, even if it doesn\u2019t function, it\u2019s not going to cause actual harm, right?\n\n\nRead More:\n \nEngine Oil Additives: Do They Really Work?\n\n\nIn theory, the principle behind it isn\u2019t wrong. A magnet powerful enough should hold the metal particles within the oil filter instead of allowing them to flow back out into the engine.\n\n\nNonetheless, the chief function of the oil filter is to prevent that from happening anyways. We know redundancy is a good thing but if the oil filter isn\u2019t doing its job, all the oil filter magnets in the world aren\u2019t going to prevent your engine from undergoing catastrophic failure.\n\n\nWithin an internal combustion engine\u2019s block and head is a maze of passageways for the oil to circulate around and lubricate all the necessary moving components to reduce wear and prevent friction.\n\n\nThe oil is picked up from the oil sump at the bottom of the engine and pumped through the oil filter by the oil pump before it circulates and returns to the sump.\n\n\nAny contaminants within the oil such as metal particles or residue will be trapped within the filter.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nWhat to Do Before Starting a Car That Has Been Left Sitting for Months\n\n\n\n\nWhy a Magnetic Trap Won\u2019t Work\n\n\nA magnet on the exterior of the filter won\u2019t be contributing anything to the filter\u2019s functionality due to the fact that the impurities will get trapped in the filter element and remain there because of the positive pressure generated by the oil flowing through.\n\n\nThe oil pressure required within the engine to ensure proper lubrication ranges from around 10 PSI at idle to well over 60 PSI as revs approach the redline. That\u2019s almost double the air pressure in the tire.\n\n\nAdditionally, there just isn\u2019t any substantial data on the effectiveness of these magnets. Obviously, the people selling these magnets will conjure up plenty of evidence to back their claims but there\u2019s a distinct lack of evidence from neutral parties to justify the magnets.\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2DMoBukc98&t=45s\n\n\nAmong the many pieces of evidence presented by the sellers of these magnets will be similar to the demo above. The magnet on the bottle will attract the metal particles within the oil and hold them in place.\n\n\nIn fact, this very demonstration to showcase its functionality works against it and proves how flawed the device is.\n\n\nFor starters, the oil filter isn\u2019t empty like the bottle on the inside.

If there are metal particles in your engine oil, you will most likely have bigger problems regarding your engine that might even require an \noverhaul\n.\n\n\nAnd trust\u2026 no amount of magnets in the world will fix that.\n\n", "Amarnath", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Just turn on your hazard lights, slowly pull over at the road shoulder, pull up your emergency brake and call for help.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBut of course, your car may also break down as it stays idle \u2013 a situation that we are currently faced with during the pandemic \u2013 for many reasons.\u00a0\n\n\nSo, here are five common reasons that may have caused your car breakdown\n\n\n\n\nFlat or faulty battery: \nIf you are unable to start your car, this could be due to a faulty or a flat battery. The battery is what charges up the starter motor to turn on the alternator in order to power your car. This could be due to incidents such as accidentally leaving on your lights when your engine is turned off, or it could be electrical problems as your battery may be old and requires a replacement.\u00a0\n\n\nFaulty alternator or alternator belt: \nThe alternator is an electric generator in your car that charges the battery. A tell-tale sign that your alternator is the main cause of your car breakdown is if you are not able to start your car, or your headlights are dim when your car is idling. It could also be your alternator belt, also known as a serpentine belt, which spins around the vehicle to keep components such as the alternator and power steering pump running effectively. If your ignition warning light begins flickering and the temperature of your car\u2019s engine rises quickly, this could be due to a broken alternator belt.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nFlat tire:\n This is when your tire or tires lose air, causing it to deflate. Driving with a flat tire is risky as it can cause wheel or internal structural damage that will affect the handling or control over your vehicle. There are many reasons for a flat tire, it could be that you\u2019ve driven over a sharp object which has pierced your tire or even, an over-inflated tire which has blown out.\n\n\nEngine overheating: \nAn overheated engine can seriously damage your car. The components that are made to cool your car will fail if the car produces more heat that it can handle. This can cause the cooling system to leak and trigger issues in the radiator. If you continue to drive an overheated car, it can cause components such as the cylinder heads to warp and decrease your car\u2019s power, as well as excessive oil burning. It can also affect the belts, wiring and sensors.\u00a0\n\n\nOut of fuel: \nThis can happen especially if you\u2019re stuck in a long traffic jam without a petrol station in sight. So, just put on your hazard light and pull over slowly to the road shoulder to call for assistance.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThere are many other reasons why you may be having car troubles and to pinpoint the actual causes, it\u2019s best you contact a mechanic before you tamper with anything.\u00a0\n\n\nMake a Booking on the POMEN App for Car Services & Breakdowns\n\n\nWhile you may be scouring the internet for a list of nearby mechanics, there is an easier solution \u2013 downloading the POMEN App. POMEN is a roadside assistance service mobile application that connects you to nearby workshops.\n\n\n\n\nThe app provides services for car breakdowns, battery problems, tire replacements, as well as car servicing and maintenance \u2013 whenever and wherever you need it.

Manakala, mereka yang mempunyai pinjaman berkadar tetap pula tidak terkesan dengan kenaikan OPR yang diumumkan baru-baru ini.\n\n\nJadi, kalau anda nak tahu kenapa OPR perlu dinaikkan dan apa yang anda boleh buat kalau bayaran pinjaman kereta anda terkesan, teruskan membaca.\n\n\nApa Itu Kadar Dasar Semalaman (OPR) & Kenapa Anda Perlu Ambil Tahu\n\n\nKadar Dasar Semalaman atau \nOvernight Policy Rate\n (OPR) merujuk kepada kadar faedah yang ditetapkan untuk pinjaman oleh sebuah institusi kewangan daripada institusi kewangan yang lain dalam tempoh semalaman.\n\n\nApabila OPR rendah, kadar faedah juga lebih rendah dan ini akan menggalakkan rakyat Malaysia untuk berbelanja dan memohon pinjaman sekaligus dapat merangsang pertumbuhan ekonomi negara.\n\n\nManakala lebih tinggi OPR, lebih tinggi kadar faedah yang perlu dibayar apabila meminjam wang dengan pihak bank. Jadi ini akan menyebabkan rakyat Malaysia lebih cenderung untuk mengurangkan permohonan pinjaman wang dan juga perbelanjaan harian mereka.\n\n\n\n\nOPR dinaikkan atas beberapa sebab, antaranya adalah atas tanda-tanda pemulihan semula situasi ekonomi Malaysia, terdapat tanda-tanda bahawa inflasi di Malaysia akan meningkat, kadar perbelanjaan yang tinggi dalam kalangan rakyat Malaysia \u2013 sebanyak 18 peratus, dan lain-lain lagi.\n\n\nJadi sebenarnya tujuan OPR dinaikkan bukanlah untuk menambah beban perbelanjaan anda, tapi ia penting untuk memastikan keadaan ekonomi negara kita sentiasa sihat. Ia memastikan kadar perbelanjaan rakyat Malaysia kekal pada tahap yang sihat iaitu tujuh peratus, memastikan kesejahteraan aliran tunai negara dan juga untuk meningkatkan simpanan tunai negara.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nBeli Kereta Pertama?

You might think that a car is just a mode of transport that takes you from point to point B. But it\u2019s not just that. For some, it might be a hobby while for others a car is seen as a sign of status. But owning a car has become quite common these days in most parts of the world and some people even have more than one car. Are you one of those who\u2019s on the fence about owning your own car? Here are some reasons why we think owning a car is the best thing ever.\n\n\n6 Advantages of Owning a Car\n\n\nIndependence\n\n\n\n\nWhen you have your vehicle, it means that you don\u2019t have to rely on anyone else for your travelling needs. If you are using public transportation, there is always that brewing tension in your head whether you will reach on time or you will miss the bus or train all together . But with a car, you won\u2019t have to adjust your schedule to accommodate anyone or anything. You can go anywhere, anytime you want.\n\n\nConvenience\n\n\n\n\nIt is essential to understand that with independence comes satisfaction. Having a car means that you are the only person who knows what to do at the right time and place. For instance, when you want to go, you go. There is no more waiting for others to make plans. Driving your vehicle makes your life more convenient as it is yours to decide.\n\n\nFreedom\n\n\nPart of owning your own vehicle is enjoying the convenience but at the same time, you can also experience your own freedom. With ride-shares or public transportation, you don\u2019t have the freedom to travel as far as you want. When you have your own car, you will have much more freedom to apply for new jobs, move or even visit family and friends who live in faraway lands without having to worry about your travel means.\u00a0\n\n\nRoad-Trips\n\n\n\n\nThe biggest advantages of having your own car is planning a trip or sometimes even going on an unplanned trip or long drive. Sure, you may have taken some with friends or family, but now, you do not have to rely on anyone anymore. Having a car at such times is more practical.\u00a0 You can decide when and where you want to go all on your own.\u00a0 You can also explore the roads off-the-grid more in your own vehicle.\n\n\nRoad trips will also save you a lot more money if you have a family. Instead of paying for several expensive plane tickets, now you can just load everyone up into your brand-new vehicle and start driving.\n\n\nYou = Your Car\n\n\nPeople often describe fashion as a mode of expression. But we express ourselves through our cars too. We all think of ourselves in a certain way and the vehicles we buy reflect that persona. And if you think that a hot pink with Pokemons all over the hatchback is the best way to show people who you are, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nMemories\n\n\n\n\nPeople spend plenty of time in their car during commutes, either getting stuck in a traffic jam, driving long-distance or even just waiting for someone in your car. With that being said, those with cars would definitely have some sweet memories of their car that they really cherish. Think back to getting your first vehicle and all the good (or bad) experiences that you went through with it. Or you can think back even farther, to driving somewhere special with your family or friends.\u00a0\n\n\nWe make lots of memories in our vehicles, and they become part of our history whether we like it or not.\n\n\nSo, if you are planning on getting yourself a car, why not go down the road of used cars from \nCarsome\n?\u00a0 \nUsed cars got their own advantages and you can read about them \nhere\n.

This causes your car to lose its value over time and exposes it to damage and rust.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re planning to give your car an external facelift to make it look like new once again, there\u2019s plenty of options around for you. You can either paint it to look like it just came out of the dealership or you can get it wrapped in a custom design.\n\n\n\n\nThere are a lot of factors that you should consider before you decide to refinish your car. Before you decide which option is best to give your car that fresh look it needs, let\u2019s find out the benefits and differences of both options.\n\n\nPainting Your Car\n\n\nA fresh paint job used to be the primary option for those looking to spruce up their car. You can choose to fully restore the original color of your car or paint it in a different color with a specific finish such as a solid finish, metallic, or pearlescent to achieve your desired look.\n\n\n\n\nHere are some things you should consider before choosing to paint your car.\n\n\nTypes of Car Paint\n\n\nAcrylic Paint\n\n\nFor older or antique vehicles, the paint type that it mainly uses is the acrylic paint. This paint is less expensive compared to the more modern urethane paint, is very easy to apply, but it does not last as long as it is prone to fading after prolonged exposure.\n\n\nThere are three types of acrylic paint:\n\n\n\n\nAcrylic enamel:\n A very durable acrylic paint that forms a hard shell as they dry and lasts longer, but it is very difficult to apply.\n\n\nAcrylic lacquer:\n This paint type is inexpensive and very easy to apply, but it has the shortest lifespan among other acrylic paints and its chemical composition makes it illegal in certain countries.\u00a0\n\n\nAcrylic urethane:\n A mix of both acrylic and urethane paint with benefits of both, such as easy application and a long lifespan.\n\n\n\n\nUrethane Paint\n\n\nA modern paint type that has become the industry standard for most vehicles today, urethane paints are quite expensive but it lasts very long, provides a better looking finish, and is highly durable too.\n\n\nRead more: \nChanging Your Car Paint Color in Malaysia\n\n\nPaint Finishes\n\n\nChoosing the next color for your car can be dizzying, especially when you have to consider what type of finish you want to create the desired appearance you want for your car.\n\n\nHere are a few types of finishes available in the market that you can choose from.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSolid\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBy default, most cars come in a solid or gloss finish, usually in basic colors like red, white, or black. Solid finishes are easy to produce, inexpensive, and can be maintained easily.\n\n\nThe application process consists of three layers and it begins with a primer, then the paint itself, and finally a layer of lacquer. Although most manufacturers these days opt to use a \u201ctwo-pack\u201dpaint that mixes both the paint and lacquer together.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMetallic\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe presence of a small amount of aluminum powder in metallic paint will make your vehicle shine bright under the sunlight. Although it looks great, this paint finish attracts dirt easily and it is also quite expensive.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPearlescent\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPearlescent paint is similar to metallic paint, but it uses ceramic crystals instead to reflect and refract sunlight to create a unique and spectacular luster that stands out. This paint does not come cheap and it is also costly to repair but the glamorous look that it brings helps to preserve the value of your car.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatte\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is the most expensive finish that you can get for your car. It will cost you thousands and it only comes in shades of black, gray, or silver. Maintaining this type of finish is also very troublesome. They require regular cleaning using specialized shampoos and cleaners while bird droppings have to be cleaned immediately or you\u2019ll risk damaging the finish.\n\n\nWrapping Your Ride\n\n\nAutomotive wrap is a very popular choice among car enthusiasts who are looking to make their car look more dapper. There are numerous types of eye-catching\u00a0 colors, designs, and finishes that you can choose to wrap your car in, and if you can stretch out your budget, you can even get one that\u2019s custom made just for you!\n\n\nThe main reason why automotive wraps are gaining popularity these days is because they are said to be an affordable alternative to paint. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about automotive wraps.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVinyl Wrap\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA flexible and thin film made from \npolyvinylchloride (\nPVC) that\u2019s only four \nmil \nthick, vinyl wraps come in an assortment of colors, textures, and finishes. Vinyl wrap is purely cosmetic and is used to alter the look of your car without damaging the paint job of your car.\n\n\n\n\nDepending on the design, vinyl wrap is typically used to cover the whole car or parts of the car to protect the original paint and maintain the looks of your car without having to go through a laborious process.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlastic Protection Films (PPF)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnlike vinyl wraps, PPF are used to add a layer of extensive protection to the surface of your car. Typically eight \nmil\n\u00a0thick, this transparent film will protect your car\u2019s paint from scratches, scuffs, stone chips, bird droppings, and UV damage. PPF usually comes in two options \u2013 glossy and matte.\n\n\n\n\nSome high end PPF also has a self healing coating that enables the film to automatically repair very minor scratches caused by stone chips using the sun\u2019s heat or with a heat gun.\u00a0\n\n\nWrap VS Paint: Which Should You Consider for Your Car?\n\n\nNow that you are aware of the choices available for you when it comes to car paint and wrap, here are a few things you should consider before choosing to paint or wrap your car.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCost\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe average cost to repaint a sedan could reach anywhere from RM2,000 to RM15,000, depending on the size of the car and choice of finish. The more expensive finish requires more time, work, and attention to make sure it comes out perfect.\n\n\nMeanwhile, the cost to wrap a sedan ranges from RM1,400 to RM2,500 for basic wrap applications. Complex designs will cost more, but it\u2019s a small price to pay if you plan to keep the original paint of your car in mint condition for years to come.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDurability\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA car\u2019s paint protects the metal surface of the car from further damage such as scratches, rust, and dents. But after three to five years of being driven, the paint will start to fade and you will also start to notice chips, scuffs, and scratch marks on the paint surface, exposing the metal underneath to further damage.\n\n\nWraps add an external barrier to your paint job that protects it from stone chips, scratch marks, and bird droppings, in addition to protecting the original paint of your car from prolonged sun exposure. Unless the wrap tears, your car\u2019s paint will stay protected and it will still display its initial shine after the wrap is removed..\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProcess\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPainting a car involves a lengthy process that includes taking the car apart, stripping off the old paint as well as preparing the surface of the car by fixing imperfections such as scratches, dents, and rusts to ensure the new paint job is able to achieve a smooth look.\u00a0\n\n\nConsidering the time needed to apply paint, putting on multiple coats, and waiting for it to dry, the whole process of painting a car could take weeks and even months, but the end result ensures that the car looks brand new, like it just came out of the dealership.\n\n\nCompared to the lengthy process of painting a car, the process of wrapping a car is fairly straightforward. It only involves measuring all the panels that you plan to wrap and cleaning the car\u2019s surface thoroughly before you proceed to wrap it.\n\n\nWithin two to seven days, your car can be fully wrapped and ready to go so you don\u2019t have to wait long to show off the sweet new decals you just got on your car.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nRead more:\n \nFix Dents and Scratches On Your Car\n\n\nWith that, we hope you are now able to decide on the best method to revamp your car\u2019s looks.\n\n", "Haziq Asyraf\nA self-proclaimed foodie and gamer whose passion for food and games has recently extended to cars.", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Maknanya, kalau nak rasa selamat dan selesa semasa memandu, anda kena periksa balik apa baju dan kasut apa yang dipakai.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau tak tahu lagi tentang kepentingan memakai pakaian yang betul ketika memandu, ingat kembali tatacara pemakaian ketika sedang belajar memandu dan melaksanakan ujian memandu yang anda lalui untuk memperoleh \nlesen P\n anda.\u00a0\n\n\nJabatan Pengangkutan Jalan Raya (JPJ) bukannya sengaja nak menyusahkan anda. Tatacara pemakaian yang dikuatkuasa oleh JPJ ketika sesi pembelajaran dan amali ujian memandu sebenarnya merupakan amalan memandu yang selamat.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMacam Mana Selipar Boleh Ganggu Pemanduan Anda\n\n\nJom lihat contoh mudah bagaimana pemakaian boleh menjejaskan pemanduan anda, lihat kasut yang anda pakai, terutama selipar atau sandal yang dilarang ketika anda menjalani ujian amali dan teori untuk kelas memandu.\u00a0\n\n\nSebenarnya, lagi selamat untuk memijak pedal dengan kaki yang berkasut kerana kedudukan kaki atas pedal sepatutnya ialah tumit kaki di atas lantai kereta dan tapak kaki anda yang mengawal tekanan pada pedal dengan buku lali kaki sebagai pangsi.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda pakai selipar atau sandal, ia boleh tergelincir dan boleh tersangkut di bawah pedal menyebabkan anda sukar untuk memijak pedal.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSama juga dengan kasut tumit tinggi. Memandu sambil memakai kasut tumit tinggi berbahaya dan boleh menyebabkan kemalangan. Jika anda memakai kasut tumit tinggi, tumit kaki anda akan terangkat daripada lantai dan anda tak boleh nak mengagak berapa banyak tekanan untuk pijak pedal kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\nDisebabkan itulah, saudari-saudari sekalian, sangat-sangat digalakkan untuk anda menyimpan sepasang kasut sarung di dalam kereta untuk dipakai semasa memandu jika anda ada memakai kasut tumit tinggi ketika keluar.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMemandu Berkaki Ayam Satu Kesalahan?\n\n\nJadi, adakah memandu dengan memakai selipar/sandal atau memandu dengan berkaki ayam merupakan satu kesalahan? Sebenarnya, ya dan juga tidak. Tidak ada jawapan ringkas yang sebenar jadi mari kita bincang dengan lebih lanjut.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda memandu kenderaan anda sendiri, anda tidak akan disaman jika anda memandu sambil memakai selipar/kasut atau berkaki ayam. Tetapi, pemandu kenderaan komersial dan juga pemandu e-panggil bukan sahaja diwajibkan memakai kasut bertutup tetapi juga diwajibkan untuk memakai seluar panjang.\u00a0\n\n\nPemandu kenderaan komersial (teksi, bas, lori, van) yang ditangkap memakai selipar/sandal atau memakai seluar pendek boleh disaman. Pemandu kenderaan ini dikategorikan di bawah lesen Kenderaan Barangan (GDL) dan juga lesen \nPerkhidmatan Kenderaan Awam\n (PSV).\u00a0\n\n\nSamannya agak mahal, sebanyak RM150 untuk kesalahan tidak memakai pakaian yang ditetapkan.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda nak tahu, undang-undang berkaitan kasut bertutup untuk pemandu PSV jatuh di bawah Akta Pengangkutan Awam Darat (\nPelesenan dan Kelakuan Pemandu, Konduktor dan Penumpang) pindaan 1991.\n\n\n\n\nJadi, Kasut Apa Yang Sesuai Untuk Pemanduan Yang Lebih Selamat?\u00a0\n\n\nIni membawa kita ke persoalan utama iaitu \u2018berbahayakah memandu dengan kaki ayam?\u2019.\n\n\nKembali kepada kenyataan nak \u2018rasa\u2019 pedal untuk tekan minyak dengan betul, sebenarnya agak logik jika memandu berkaki ayam merupakan cara yang bagus kerana kaki anda akan terasa lebih peka memandangkan tiada sebarang lapisan tambahan pada tapak kaki anda.\u00a0\n\n\nWalau bagaimanapun, kalau dilihat kembali, sebenarnya lebih banyak keburukan daripada kebaikan. Selain daripada rasa sentuhan pada pedal, memandu berkaki ayam ini sebenarnya tiada manfaat langsung.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSebenarnya, mengapa JPJ mencadangkan untuk tidak berkaki ayam adalah kerana semasa kecemasan, anda nak memastikan kaki anda sentiasa terlindung andai kata ruang kaki pemandu hancur remuk atau jika anda perlu untuk keluar segera selepas kemalangan berlaku. Andai katalah terjadi kemalangan, takkanlah anda nak keluar ke jalan yang penuh dengan serpihan besi dan kaca tajam dengan berkaki ayam, betul tak?\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda memakai kasut semasa memandu, kaki anda akan dilindungi andai kata jika ruang kaki hancur atau anda perlu keluar daripada kereta. Lagipun, tiada siapa yang ada masa nak meraba-raba mencari dan memakai kasut selepas terjadinya kemalangan.\u00a0\n\n\nLagipun, pedal yang basah disebabkan peluh daripada kaki boleh menyebabkan kaki anda terlepas daripada pedal ataupun terpijak pedal secara tiba-tiba. Ini memang betul boleh menyebabkan kemalangan.\u00a0\n\n\nWalau bagaimanapun, harus diingatkan juga yang bukan semua kasut sesuai untuk memandu. Kasut dengan tapak yang tebal dan keras boleh menyukarkan pemandu untuk menekan pedal atau untuk merasai respon pedal.\u00a0\n\n\nKasut yang terbaik untuk memandu sepatutnya mempunyai tapak yang tak terlalu tebal atau terlalu nipis, boleh mencengkam dan cukup fleksibel untuk menekan pedal.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTapak kasut yang terlalu tebal akan menyebabkan anda tak rasa sentuhan pada pedal, kalau terlalu nipis pula, tapak kaki akan jadi sakit apabila menekan brek kecemasan jika anda terpaksa pijak pedal dengan melulu dan kuat. Kalau tiada cengkaman daripada tapak kasut, kaki anda mungkin boleh terlepas daripada pedal, sama seperti memandu memakai selipar/sandal atau berkaki ayam. Jika tapak terlalu keras pula, sukar untuk anda pangsikan buku lali untuk menekan pedal.\u00a0\n\n\nPakaian Lain Untuk Pemanduan Selamat\n\n\nWalaupun nampak remeh, ada sebabnya mengapa JPJ menggalakkan pemakaian yang betul semasa memandu.\u00a0\n\n\nSama seperti pemakaian kasut, logik yang sama boleh digunakan bagi pemakaian seluar panjang. Ia akan melindungi betis daripada calar semasa kemalangan.\u00a0\n\n\nDi bahagian tengah badan, baju berkolar boleh menghalang \ntali pinggang keledar\n daripada menyebabkan lecet pada bahagian leher semasa kemalangan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKeseluruhannya, anda nak badan anda ditutup tetapi kekal selesa sepanjang pemanduan. Kenapa kena selesa? Ini untuk mengelakkan pergerakan lengan atau kaki anda terhalang andai kata anda terpaksa membetulkan kedudukan kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\nJuga, jeans ketat tanpa regang juga boleh menghalang pergerakan kaki. Seluar boleh regang lebih mudah untuk pergerakan kaki, terutama sekali jika anda terpaksa keluar daripada kereta selepas kemalangan.\u00a0\n\n\nDisebabkan itulah, melecet boleh dihalang dengan lapisan pakaian pada kaki dan lengan tetapi pakaian seperti jaket kulit keras sangat tidak sesuai. Ia menghalang pergerakan siku ketika memusingkan stereng. Oleh itu, sesuatu yang ringan dan memudahkan pergerakan badan adalah lebih digalakkan.\n\n\n\n\nKesedaran sekeliling juga sesuatu yang patut anda ambil kira. Kawasan titik buta pada bahagian sisi anda boleh dikurangkan dengan menoleh sekali sebelum menukar laluan atau membelok. Tambahan lagi, semasa memandu terutamanya, penting untuk anda sedar akan kenderaan atau ruang di bahagian sisi anda. Dengan menoleh, anda boleh tahu apa yang ada di sekeliling anda.\u00a0\n\n\nKerana itu, selendang tebal boleh menghalang pergerakan leher anda untuk menoleh. Ia seolah-olah pendakap leher yang menghalang pergerakan. Kalau anda perlu untuk pakai selendang, pilih yang nipis dan ringan yang tidak menghalang pergerakan leher. Tambahan, ia boleh melindungi kulit di bawah leher andai kata kemalangan terjadi dan tali pinggang keledar menjerut leher anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKesemua undang-undang yang dikuat kuasa ini bukan hanya untuk menjamin keselamatan anda, tetapi juga untuk pengguna jalan raya yang lain juga.

Perodua myvi gt concept at kuala lumpur motorshow.", "Sempena sambutan Hari Malaysia yang lalu, WapCar telah menerbitkan satu video temu ramah bersama beberapa rakyat Malaysia secara spontan yang dilakukan oleh \nAdrian\n dan \nGreg\n untuk mendapatkan pandangan mereka mengenai \nkereta nasional\n.\n\n\nArtikel ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan video ini dengan lebih lanjut.\n\n\nBila Sebut Tentang Kereta Nasional, Apa Yang Rakyat Malaysia Fikirkan?\n\n\nSoalan pertama yang ditanyakan oleh Adrian dan Greg menyentuh mengenai pandangan pertama para peserta mengenai kereta Malaysia.\n\n\nJawapan yang mereka berikan semuanya sama, masing-masing menyebut jenama dan model kereta buatan Malaysia seperti \nProton\n, \nPerodua\n, dan juga Proton Saga dan Perodua Myvi. Sebagai rakyat Malaysia, tak sah lah kalau kita tak kenal \njenama dan model kereta buatan Malaysia\n kan?\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, rata-rata daripada mereka setuju yang harga kereta nasional lebih murah dan hampir semua rakyat malaysia mampu memilikinya. Malah, kualiti kereta nasional kini boleh dikatakan setaraf dengan kereta-kereta import, dan ia jauh lebih baik jika dibandingkan dengan kereta nasional yang dihasilkan pada tahun-tahun awal pengeluarannya.\n\n\nNamun, ada juga yang menyatakan bahawa kereta nasional masih dipandang rendah walaupun pelbagai penambahbaikan dah dibuat.\u00a0\n\n\nAdakah Rakyat Malaysia Mahu Memiliki Kereta Nasional?\n\n\nUntuk segmen kedua pula, Adrian dan Greg bertanya jika mereka mahu membeli atau memiliki kereta nasional. Menurut jawapan yang diberikan oleh peserta mereka semua mahu membeli kereta jenama Malaysia, lebih-lebih lagi jika mereka tidak mempunyai bajet yang banyak.\n\n\n\n\nAntara sebab-sebabnya adalah terdapat pelbagai pilihan yang boleh dipertimbangkan dengan bajet yang kecil seperti \nPerodua Myvi\n \ndan \nProton Saga\n untuk mereka yang cari kereta pertama, serta \nPerodua Alza\n dan \nPerodua Aruz\n untuk mereka yang dah berkeluarga.\n\n\nTambahan pula, dalam video tersebut semuanya bersetuju yang kereta nasional kini lebih moden dan lebih tahan lasak, jadi sebab itulah kita dapat lihat lebih ramai rakyat Malaysia memilih kereta nasional.\n\n\nKomen Untuk Pengeluar Kereta Nasional\n\n\nDalam segmen terakhir pula, para perserta ditanya jika mereka mempunyai sebarang komen yang mahu ditujukan kepada pengeluar kereta nasional. Berikut adalah komen-komen yang disuarakan oleh mereka.\n\n\nSalah seorang peserta menyatakan yang pengeluar kereta nasional perlu cuba untuk menawarkan kereta pada harga yang lebih rendah, ada yang menggalakkan pengeluar kereta nasional untuk \nmelestarikan proses pembuatan kereta\n mereka, ada juga yang mencadangkan bahawa mereka perlu cuba menghasilkan kereta \nsport!\n\n\nYang paling penting, seorang peserta memberi komen bahawa pengeluar kereta nasional perlu menambah baik sistem dalaman kereta mereka dengan menambah sistem Apple CarPlay dan Android Auto agar setanding dengan kereta import.\n\n\n\n\nSatu lagi komen yang menarik perhatian kami menyatakan bahawa pengeluar kereta nasional perlu menghasilkan lebih banyak alat ganti agar kereta yang mengalami kerosakan dapat dibaiki dengan segera tanpa perlu menunggu stok alat ganti yang baharu.\n\n\nBerdasarkan pendapat spontan yang diperolehi daripada orang awam dalam video tersebut, boleh dikatakan yang rakyat Malaysia bangga dengan kereta nasional dan ramai juga yang akan mempertimbangkan kereta nasional jika mereka mahu membeli kereta.\n\n\nKereta nasional mungkin ada sedikit ketidaksempurnaan, tapi anda tak boleh nafikan yang Proton dan Perodua telah berusaha sebaik mungkin untuk memastikan mereka boleh kekal relevan dan mampu bersaing dengan jenama daripada luar negara yang menawarkan kereta yang lebih moden dan canggih.\n\n\nLihat sahaja pencapaian mereka menerusi \nPerodua Myvi\n, \nPerodua Ativa\n, \nProton X50\n, dan \nProton X70\n. Model-model ini membuktikan bahawa kereta nasional mempunyai daya saing yang tinggi dan boleh dibandingkan dengan kereta import.\n\n\nKalau anda tengah cari kereta terpakai berkualiti untuk dijadikan kereta pertama, kedua, ketiga atau keempat, boleh layari \ncarsome.my\n atau \nmuat turun aplikasi CARSOME\n untuk pilih kereta yang anda mahukan.\u00a0\n\n\nKami ada model-model kereta nasional yang popular seperti \nProton Saga\n, \nProton Iriz\n, \nPerodua Myvi\n, dan \nPerodua Alza\n yang telah dibaik pulih secara profesional untuk memastikan anda boleh dapat kereta pramilik berkualiti dengan keselamatan melebihi taraf, keselesaan sepenuhnya, dan estetik yang telah dibaik pulih.

Apa Prosedurnya?", "By\n \nAmarnath", "26/10/2022", "\n\n\n\n\n", "Sejak pintu sempadan Malaysia-Thailand mula dibuka bermula April 2022, rakyat Malaysia mula berpusu-pusu untuk memasuki Thailand menggunakan jalan darat. Yalah, setelah dua tahun sempadan ditutup, mereka yang kaki bercuti ni tak nak lepaskan peluang untuk kembali melakukan rutin tahunan mereka masuk Thailand untuk berlibur.\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk masuk ke Thailand, ada beberapa cara seperti menggunakan tren ETS, kapal terbang, bas, dan lain-lain. Yang biasa dibuat adalah menggunakan tren dan bas kerana ia lebih mudah. Tetapi ada juga rakyat Malaysia yang pilih untuk pandu kereta masuk Thailand.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDengan pandu kereta masuk Thailand, ia lebih mudah kerana anda tak perlu bergantung kepada pengangkutan awam dan anda bebas untuk bergerak tanpa perlu menunggu. Anda juga boleh membawa lebih banyak keperluan seperti baju tanpa perlu memikul atau menarik beg yang berat.\u00a0\n\n\nTetapi macam mana nak pandu kereta masuk Thailand ? Apa dokumen nak kena sediakan sebelum masuk Thailand? Susah ke prosedurnya? Di sini kami akan kongsikan caranya untuk masuk ke Thailand menggunakan kereta anda sendiri.\u00a0\n\n\nPintu Masuk Ke Thailand\u00a0\n\n\nAda beberapa pintu sempadan untuk pandu masuk ke Thailand. Bergantung kepada ke mana anda nak pergi, anda boleh pilih mana-mana pintu yang anda nak.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWang Kelian \u2013 Perlis\n\n\nPadang Besar \u2013 Perlis\n\n\nBukit Kayu Hitam \u2013 Kedah\n\n\nBukit Berapit \u2013 Perak\u00a0\n\n\nRantau Panjang \u2013 Kelantan\n\n\n\n\nAnda boleh pilih mana-mana pintu masuk yang anda suka tetapi untuk mereka yang nak pergi ke Hat Yai, boleh pilih untuk masuk menggunakan pintu Bukit Kayu Hitam. Kebanyakan pintu sempadan dibuka setiap hari dari 6:00 pagi hingga 10:00 malam.\u00a0\n\n\nDokumen Yang Diperlukan\u00a0\n\n\n1. Pasport\u00a0\n\n\nIni dokumen wajib kalau nak masuk mana-mana negara asing. Kalau tak ada pasport, boleh buat dulu di mana-mana pejabat imigresen Malaysia. Dengan buku merah keramat ini, anda dah boleh keluar masuk mana-mana negara yang anda suka.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBagi yang dah ada pasport, tahniah! Tapi sebelum nak masuk negara orang, pastikan pasport anda masih lagi aktif dan belum tamat tempoh. Bala besar kalau anda dah sampai di pintu sempadan tapi pasport dah tamat tempoh. Tak pasal-pasal kena \u2018cancel\u2019 percutian anda.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Sijil Pemilikan Kenderaan\u00a0\n\n\nSijil pemilikan kenderaan atau dalam bahasa mudahnya geran kereta ni wajib untuk dilampirkan sekali semasa anda nak masuk ke Thailand. Kalau tak ada geran, boleh pergi ke mana-mana pejabat Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) untuk cetak salinan geran kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nPermohonan Geran Kereta Original Hilang dan Cara Dapatkan Geran Baharu\n\n\nTapi macam mana kalau anda pandu kereta yang bukan milik anda? Mudah saja! Pastikan juga ada geran dan surat akuan sumpah yang sah yang ditandatangan oleh pemilik kereta tu sendiri. Kalau tak, kereta mungkin akan disita! Nanti tak pasal-pasal kena jalan kaki nak balik Kuala Lumpur.\n\n\n3. Insurans Kereta Thailand\u00a0\n\n\nNak masuk Thailand, anda kena beli insurans kereta Thailand. Jangan nak memandai-mandai guna insurans kereta negara Malaysia ya. Takut kena halau balik nanti.\u00a0\n\n\nInsurans ini boleh dibeli daripada agensi pelancongan yang ada di sepanjang jalan menuju ke pintu sempadan seperti di Changlun atau Rantau Panjang. Kalau ada apa-apa masalah, anda boleh tanya agensi pelancongan ni. Jadi jangan malu tau. Malu bertanya sesat jalan!\u00a0\n\n\nInsurans ni juga boleh dibeli di kaunter ketika anda nak isi borang pengisytiharan di kaunter imigresen. Anda boleh beli untuk enam bulan, setahun atau seminggu. Kalau untuk seminggu, harganya cuma RM20.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nBeli Kereta Baru Tapi Tak Tahu Cara Pilih Insurans Kereta Terbaik? Info Lengkap Insurans Kereta Di Sini\n\n\nCara Nak Masuk Ke Negara Thailand\u00a0\n\n\nSeperti biasa, anda akan melepasi dua imigresen iaitu imigresen Malaysia dan juga imigresen Thailand. Proses yang mudah di imigresen Malaysia tetapi sedikit sukar di imigresen Thailand. Ada beberapa borang penting yang wajib anda isi iaitu borang pengisytiharan selain daripada dokumen-dokumen di atas kalau anda nak bawa masuk kenderaan sendiri ke Thailand.\u00a0\n\n\nBorang dimaksudkan ialah \nsimplified custom declaration\n dan borang ketibaan. Bonus untuk anda, ada agensi pelancongan yang turut memberikan servis mengisi borang ini sebelum masuk ke sempadan jadi ia lebih mudah untuk anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nProses ini akan mengambil masa jika anda merupakan pengunjung yang kali pertama nak masuk ke Thailand. Ini disebabkan mereka akan memasukkan data anda ke dalam sistem. Jadi, jangkakan kelewatan sedikit ketika di fasa ini.\u00a0\n\n\nSebelum mengesahkan kemasukan, pegawai imigresen akan meminta anda untuk mengesahkan kenderaan anda yang mana satu. Setelah selesai, barulah pasport dan borang anda akan dicop dan anda boleh nikmati masa anda di Thailand!\u00a0\n\n\nPeringatan Mesra!\u00a0\n\n\nIni kami senaraikan beberapa peringatan mesra untuk anda yang baru nak berjinak-jinak mengembara ke negara gajah putih ini:\u00a0\n\n\n1. Vaksin Covid-19\n\n\nAntara dokumen lain yang perlu anda sertakan ialah borang vaksin Covid-19 anda. Ini anda boleh muat turun daripada aplikasi MySejahtera.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBermula 1 Julai 2022, Thailand telah memansuhkan keperluan insurans $10,000 jadi anda tak perlu dah nak beli insurans yang mahal sebelum masuk ke Thailand. Tiada ujian saringan Covid-19 juga diperlukan untuk masuk ke Thailand tetapi sebagai langkah berjaga-jaga, buatlah saringan sendiri menggunakan kit ujian RTK.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Penantian di Kaunter Imigresen\n\n\nProses di imigresen Thailand mungkin akan mengambil masa sedikit lama lagi-lagi jika anda pertama kali nak masuk Thailand menggunakan kenderaan Malaysia. Jadi, kalau anda ada penumpang, pastikan anda dah maklumkan awal-awal. Kalau ada anak kecil, pastikan mereka ini selesa sepanjang proses menunggu.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n3. Jangan Lupa Pulangkan Borang Kastam\n\n\nIngat tak borang kastam yang anda dah isi di kaunter imigresen Thailand semasa nak masuk? Anda kena pulangkan satu lagi salinan sebelum anda masuk Malaysia semula. Kalau anda tak pulangkan semua, anda mungkin akan didenda ikut jumlah hari anda berada di Thailand dan prosesnya akan jadi lagi susah bila nak masuk semua ke Thailand lagi selepas ini.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Pandu Seperti Manusia di Thailand\n\n\nSebagai manusia yang berakal, anda seharusnya memandu mengikut peraturan yang telah ditetapkan tak kiralah di mana anda berada. Peraturan jalan raya wujud kerana satu tujuan saja, untuk pastikan anda selamat semasa memandu atau menggunakan jalan raya, tak kira di mana anda berada.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPeraturan di Thailand mungkin sedikit berbeza tetapi kebanyakan masih sama. Kalau anda disaman dan saman itu tak dibayar, anda mungkin tak boleh atau susah nak masuk ke Thailand lagi selepas ini.\u00a0\n\n\nDiharapkan dengan tips ini anda boleh tahu tentang proses untuk membawa masuk kenderaan anda sendiri ke Thailand. Jangan lupa untuk jaga diri anda dan pandu selamat sepanjang anda berada di sana!\u00a0\n\n\n\n", "Tags\nmelancong\nThailand\ntravel", "Amarnath", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Hujung bulan Januari, RapidKL ada mengumumkan \nperubahan jadual LRT aliran Ampang-Sri Petaling\n yang terkesan akibat kerosakan pada tiang utama.\n\n\nPaling serius, bulan November tahun lalu laluan \nLRT aliran Kelana Jaya terpaksa ditutup selama seminggu\n disebabkan oleh komponen elektronik sistem kawalan tren automatik yang tidak berfungsi dengan baik.\n\n\n\n\nLebih menyedihkan, \nMenteri Pengangkutan Anthony Loke berkata\n bahawa gangguan perkhidmatan LRT ini akan terus berlaku sehingga suku ketiga 2023 sementara pihak Prasarana berusaha untuk memperbaiki mutu perkhidmatan mereka.\n\n\nRasanya ramai di luar sana yang dah buat keputusan untuk mula memandu sendiri tahun ini disebabkan pengalaman buruk dengan LRT tapi saya yakin ada yang masih lagi ragu-ragu kerana tak mahu buat perubahan drastik dalam perbelanjaan harian mereka.\n\n\n\n\nJadi di sini, saya kongsikan pengalaman saya sendiri dalam merancang perbelanjaan perjalanan harian saya sebagai panduan anda.\n\n\nNaik Pengangkutan Awam Lagi Murah?\n\n\nSaya sekarang tinggal di Shah Alam dan bekerja di Mutiara Damansara. Dengar saja Shah Alam, pasti ramai yang boleh bayangkan kesesakan teruk yang perlu saya tempuh di Lebuhraya Persekutuan untuk pergi dan balik dari kerja.\n\n\nInilah sebabnya saya lebih suka menaiki LRT. Walaupun terpaksa berhimpit dengan penumpang lain, tapi saya tak perlu menghadapi tekanan kesesakan jalan raya dan kerenah pemandu lain yang menyakitkan hati.\n\n\nDengan pengangkutan awam, saya mengambil masa lebih kurang dua jam untuk pergi ke tempat kerja. Perjalanan saya setiap hari bermula dengan memandu ke stesen LRT CGC Glenmarie kerana itulah stesen LRT yang paling hampir dengan rumah saya.\u00a0 Dalam sebulan saya sediakan RM200 untuk isi minyak kereta bagi memandu ke situ.\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk kadar bayaran tempat letak kereta pula, ianya tak terlalu mahal, kerana saya gunakan \nfasiliti Park N\u2019 Ride yang diuruskan oleh pihak MyRapid\n.\n Harganya cuma RM4 sahaja sekali masuk, jadi untuk sebulan saya perlu bayar dalam RM100 (RM4 x 25 hari).\n\n\n\n\nKalau saya pilih untuk menaiki bas pula, saya perlu menggunakan \nbas pengantara T774\n yang boleh dinaiki di stesen bas berhampiran Giant Hypermarket Seksyen 13. Stesen ini paling sesuai untuk saya kerana saya boleh meletakkan kereta secara percuma di kawasan letak kereta yang disediakan di situ. Bayaran yang dikenakan untuk menaiki pas pengantara cuma RM1 sahaja dan tempoh perjalanan pula biasanya dalam 25 ke 35 minit semasa waktu puncak. Jadual kekerapan bas juga agak baik pada waktu puncak, dengan satu bas setiap 15 ke 25 minit.\n\n\nDengan menaiki bas, kos perjalanan saya selama sebulan cuma RM25 \u2013 RM1 x 25 hari, ditambah pula dengan duit minyak berjumlah RM200 untuk sebulan. Keseluruhannya, saya cuma perlu berbelanja RM225 sahaja. Tetapi, masa yang saya perlukan untuk pergi ke tempat kerja boleh mencecah sehingga dua ke tiga jam!\n\n\n\n\nLain pula ceritanya kalau saya tiada kereta atau bas mengalami kerosakan \u2013 saya perlu gunakan perkhidmatan e-panggilan Grab. Pada waktu puncak saya perlu membayar sehingga RM25 \u2013 bergantung kepada kadar yang ditetapkan oleh Grab, untuk pergi ke stesen LRT dari rumah saya. Balik ke rumah juga memerlukan bayaran yang sama. Untuk seminggu saya perlu membelanjakan RM250 dan untuk sebulan pula boleh mencecah sehingga RM1,000!\n\n\nSelepas menaiki LRT, saya perlu bertukar ke MRT pula untuk pergi ke Mutiara Damansara dari KL Sentral. Dengan \nPas Perjalanan My50,\n saya hanya perlu membayar RM50 sebulan untuk menggunakan semua perkhidmatan LRT, MRT, Monorel, dan BRT selama 30 hari tanpa had.\n\n\n\n\nIni adalah jadual pecahan perbelanjaan bulanan saya jika menaiki LRT:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKos Perbelanjaan Bulanan\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMemandu ke LRT\n\n\n\n\nGrab\n\n\n\n\nMenaiki Bas\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerjalanan\n\n\nRM200\n\n\nRM1,000\n\n\nRM225\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTempat Letak Kereta\n\n\nRM100\n\n\n\u2013\n\n\n\u2013\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPas Perjalanan LRT\n\n\nRM50\n\n\nRM50\n\n\nRM50\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJumlah Keseluruhan\n\n\nRM350\n\n\nRM1,050\n\n\nRM275\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMelihat kepada jadual di atas, kos perjalanan harian saya jika menggunakan Grab dan LRT sangat tinggi, mencecah sehingga RM1,000! Sebab ini saya elakkan terlalu bergantung kepada perkhidmatan Grab.\n\n\nDengan memandu sendiri sambil menggunakan LRT, dalam sebulan saya cuma perlu belanja RM350 untuk kos pergi dan balik kerja. Tapi jika LRT mengalami masalah dan saya perlu cari alternatif lain, perbelanjaan pengangkutan saya akan naik mendadak. Contohnya semasa LRT aliran Kelana Jaya ditutup selama seminggu pada bulan Disember tahun lepas, kos perjalanan saya naik sehingga RM500 pada bulan itu!\n\n\nMahal ke Kalau Memandu Sendiri?\n\n\nSebelum naik LRT ke tempat kerja, saya memandu untuk beberapa bulan untuk biasakan diri dengan perjalanan yang perlu saya hadapi. Ini adalah pecahan perbelanjaan bulanan saya apabila memandu sendiri ke tempat kerja.\n\n\nPerjalanan dari rumah saya ke tempat kerja memakan masa satu jam 30 minit dan sebulan saya perlu sediakan lebih kurang RM200 untuk isi minyak kereta. Saya gunakan Lebuhraya Persekutuan jadi saya boleh jimatkan sedikit perbelanjaan tol kerana tiada bayaran tol diperlukan.\n\n\n\n\nSatu perbelanjaan penting yang perlu diambil kira apabila memandu ke tempat kerja adalah bayaran tempat letak kereta dan ini akan menelan belanja paling banyak. Saya perlu bayar RM8 sehari dan untuk sebulan saya perlu sediakan dalam RM200.\n\n\nKeseluruhannya, saya membelanjakan dalam RM400 sebulan jika saya memandu sendiri ke tempat kerja. Dan saya tidak tidak pernah membelanjakan lebih daripada jumlah ini untuk kos perjalanan saya. Walaupun perbezaannya tidaklah terlalu banyak berbanding dengan menaiki LRT \u2013 dalam RM50, tapi saya boleh katakan yang kedua-duanya ada kelebihan tersendiri.\n\n\nKelebihan Menaiki Pengangkutan Awam & Memandu Sendiri\n\n\nApabila menaiki pengangkutan awam saya tak perlu menghadapi tekanan fizikal dan mental semasa menempuh kesesakan di jalan raya. Ia juga menjadikan saya lebih sihat kerana saya banyak berjalan untuk pergi ke stesen LRT dan tempat kerja. Purata kiraan langkah harian saya boleh mencecah sehingga 10,000 langkah! Kawasan tempat kerja yang dilengkapi dengan laluan berbumbung juga memudahkan perjalanan saya.\n\n\nDengan memandu sendiri, saya tak perlu risau tentang jadual perjalanan yang perlu diikuti \u2013 saya bebas menentukan masa untuk pergi dan balik dari kerja. Saya juga selesa di dalam kereta saya sendiri, tanpa perlu bersesak di dalam tren yang terlalu penuh jika berlaku kelewatan atau kerosakan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPilihan di Tangan Anda\n\n\nSebelum pilih yang mana satu paling sesuai untuk anda, bandingkan kos, kelebihan, dan kekurangan yang anda perlu hadapi terlebih dahulu. Dalam sesetengah keadaan, mungkin lebih senang untuk memandu sendiri tapi dalam situasi lain, menaiki pengangkutan awam mungkin boleh membantu anda menjimatkan wang dalam jangka masa panjang \u2013 semuanya bergantung kepada keperluan anda.\n\n\nKesimpulannya, hanya anda yang boleh memutuskan pilihan mana yang paling sesuai untuk gaya hidup anda, jadi kami harap anda boleh gunakan maklumat ini untuk buat keputusan yang paling sesuai untuk anda.\n\n\nKalau anda sedang cari kereta terpakai berkualiti untuk kegunaan harian, buat pilihan bijak dan dapatkan kereta CARSOME Certified yang telah diperiksa dengan teliti dan dibaik pulih secara profesional.\n\n\n\n\nKereta terpakai adalah pilihan terbaik untuk kurangkan kos pengangkutan kalau anda merancang untuk memandu sendiri. Harganya lebih murah dan bayaran ansuran bulanan juga lebih rendah.

Dalam erti kata lain, proses pandu uji membolehkan bakal pembeli menilai sendiri kualiti, keupayaan dan prestasi kenderaan yang diuji sebelum membuat keputusan.\n\n\nKebaikan Pandu Uji\n\n\nPembelian kereta merupakan antara komitmen kedua terbesar yang biasanya dilakukan oleh rakyat Malaysia selepas pembelian rumah. Oleh sebab itu, pandu uji merupakan langkah terbaik dan tepat yang tidak boleh diabaikan bagi membantu anda membeli kereta yang terbaik, berkualiti dan selamat.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPandu uji membolehkan anda merasai sendiri pengalaman memandu kereta yang ingin dibeli sekali gus menjamin kepuasan anda sebagai pembeli dan kualiti kereta yang ditawarkan.\n\n\nAnda boleh menentukan kualiti, keupayaan dan prestasi kenderaan yang diuji adalah berbaloi dengan harga yang ditawarkan.\n\n\nProses ini juga membolehkan anda memeriksa setiap inci kereta dan mengenal pasti sama ada terdapat sebarang kerosakan yang perlu diperbaiki.\n\n\nAnda juga boleh\u00a0mengesan sebarang tanda-tanda \nred flag\n pada kereta tersebut semasa pemanduan. Perkara ini penting untuk mengelakkan anda daripada menanggung kos yang lebih tinggi untuk penyelenggaraan.\n\n\nPandu uji boleh mengelakkan anda daripada ditipu. Ada sesetengah penjual kereta terpakai yang mungkin menyembunyikan maklumat sebenar untuk melariskan stok sedia ada. Jika tidak berhati-hati, anda mungkin terbeli \nkereta yang pernah ditenggelami banjir\n, terlibat dalam kebakaran atau \nkemalangan serius\n.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerkara yang Perlu Dipertimbangkan Semasa Pandu Uji Kereta Terpakai\n\n\n\nSekiranya anda dalam proses untuk mendapatkan kereta terpakai yang baharu untuk menampung bilangan ahli keluarga yang kian bertambah, senarai semak ini mungkin boleh membantu anda membuat keputusan yang tepat. Anda boleh mempertimbangkan perkara-perkara berikut sebelum membeli kereta baharu untuk anda:\n\n\ni. Adakah kereta ini memenuhi keperluan dan kehendak gaya hidup?\n\n\nSebelum membeli kereta terpakai yang baharu, anda perlu memahami keperluan dan kehendak gaya hidup anda. Namun begitu, anda disarankan untuk mempertimbangkan bajet semasa anda untuk mengelakkan anda daripada berbelanja melebihi had kemampuan. Anda mungkin boleh pertimbangkan faktor-faktor ini sebelum membuat keputusan:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKereta ini sesuai digunakan untuk aktiviti harian seperti mengambil anak-anak di sekolah, membeli barangan keperluan?\n\n\nRuang yang ditawarkan mencukupi untuk menampung bagasi atau barangan keperluan lain \nroad trip\n atau balik kampung?\n\n\nAdakah ruang dalaman mencukupi untuk memuatkan barangan sukan kegemaran seperti \nclub\n golf, basikal atau peralatan sukan \noutdoor \nyang lain?\n\n\nKereta ini sesuai dengan sifat kerja anda yang perlu ke luar daerah setiap masa?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDengan cara ini, anda bukan sahaja dapat membeli kereta yang sesuai mengikut citarasa anda, malah tidak membebankan anda dari aspek kewangan dan emosi (sekiranya tersilap beli) jangka panjang. Ia juga dapat mengelakkan anda daripada membeli kereta yang salah dan tidak sesuai dengan keperluan dan kehendak anda.\n\n\nii. Adakah ruang dalaman selesa untuk anak dan ahli keluarga lain?\n\n\nKereta yang baik bukan hanya memfokuskan keselesaan pemandu dan penumpang hadapan tetapi turut memberi keutamaan kepada keselesaan penumpang tempat duduk belakang. Oleh itu, pastikan ruang belakang dan ruang kaki cukup selesa dan luas untuk anak-anak atau penumpang lain kereta anda. Jika boleh, bawa bersama anak-anak anda semasa pandu uji untuk merasai sendiri pengalaman sebenar.\n\n\nJika ruang kaki dan ruang belakang sempit, besar kemungkinan lutut atau kaki penumpang belakang akan bergesel dengan bahagian belakang anda sepanjang pemanduan. Malah, ambil kira ruang untuk \ntempat duduk keselamatan kanak-kanak\n atau bagasi tambahan jika perlu.\n\n\niii. Bagaimanakah prestasi keseluruhan kereta ini?\n\n\nSemasa memandu uji kereta yang ingin dibeli, perhatikan prestasi kereta dari aspek pemanduan dan pengendalian semasa memecut, melalui selekoh, membuat pusingan dan semasa membrek. Jika anda tidak berpuas hati dengan kualitinya, anda mungkin boleh mempertimbangkan alternatif lain yang tersedia. Perkara ini penting untuk memastikan keselamatan dan keselesaan anda serta keluarga semasa pemanduan.\n\n\nSelain itu, tanyakan kepada perunding jualan mengenai prestasi kenderaan dari segi kecekapan bahan api untuk lebih kepastian. Biasanya, kereta bersaiz kompak menawarkan kadar bahan api yang lebih cekap berbanding kereta bersaiz besar.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nKereta Jimat Minyak, Harga Murah Berbaloi Bawah RM50K Pilihan Rakyat Malaysia\n\n\niv. Adakah kereta ini mempunyai saiz yang sesuai, sistem dan teknologi yang anda inginkan?\n\n\nJika kawasan kejiranan atau ruang pejabat anda mempunyai ruang parkir kereta yang terhad, pertimbangkan faktor seperti saiz kereta sebelum membuat keputusan. Memiliki kenderaan yang senang untuk diparkir bukan sahaja menjimatkan masa, malah boleh memudahkan urusan anda. Jika masalah sebegini merupakan keutamaan anda dalam memilih kereta, anda boleh mempertimbangkan model kereta terkini dengan teknologi pintar seperti parking assist yang mungkin dapat membantu anda.\n\n\nv. Adakah kereta ini mempunyai \u2018kelemahan\u2019 yang mengganggu keputusan anda?\n\n\nProses membeli atau mendapatkan kereta boleh dikatakan sebagai suatu komitmen dan pelaburan jangka panjang yang sangat besar. Oleh itu, anda disarankan untuk menjadi seseorang yang sangat kritikal dalam membuat keputusan. Ambil masa untuk berfikir sebelum membuat keputusan dan kenal pasti sama ada terdapat apa-apa perkara yang mengganggu anda \u2014 keselesaan, keselamatan, prestasi dan sebagainya. Dalam tidak sedar, adakalanya perkara-perkara kecil sebegini boleh menjadi punca pergaduhan atau ketidakpuasan hati di kemudian hari.\n\n\n\n\nApa yang Perlu Anda Lakukan Sebelum, Semasa dan Selepas Pandu Uji?\n\n\n\nSama ada anda membeli kereta baharu atau kereta terpakai, pandu uji kereta adalah perkara penting yang perlu dilakukan dalam membantu anda membuat keputusan pembelian yang tepat. Malah, menumpukan perhatian terhadap perkara-perkara kecil yang berlaku di dalam atau di luar kereta anda semasa pandu uji juga boleh mengelakkan anda daripada sebarang kekecewaan atau masalah di kemudian hari.\n\n\nPerkara yang Perlu Anda Lakukan Sebelum Pandu Uji Kereta\n\n\nBerikut merupakan antara perkara yang perlu anda lakukan sebelum memandu uji kereta pilihan anda:\n\n\n\n\nTeliti kenderaan yang memenuhi kriteria dan bajet anda \n\u2013\n lakukan tinjauan atau baca \nulasan mengenai kereta\n secara dalam talian bagi membantu memberikan gambaran awal.\n\n\nCari pengedar di kawasan anda dan tetapkan janji temu. Bawa bersama lesen memandu dan bukti insurans anda untuk memudahkan urusan.\n\n\nSebelum pandu uji kereta, beri ruang kepada perunding jualan untuk menerangkan ciri-ciri, spesifikasi, butang kawalan dan keupayaan kereta sebelum pemanduan. Ini kerana, setiap kereta daripada jenama yang berbeza biasanya mempunyai susun atur papan pemuka yang berbeza dan tersendiri.\n\n\nSebelum memasuki kereta, periksa perkara-perkara asas berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTanda-tanda seperti karat di bahagian bawah kereta, sekitar tayar dan luar badan kereta.\n\n\nTanda-tanda seperti kemik, remuk atau calar.\n\n\nPaip ekzos berada dalam keadaan baik, tidak berkarat atau bocor.\n\n\nPerhatikan warna asap yang keluar daripada paip ekzos.\n\n\nPastikan semua lampu dan penunjuk berfungsi dengan baik.\n\n\nTayar kereta berada dalam keadaan baik, tidak haus atau botak.\n\n\nBahagian enjin \n\u2013\n pastikan minyak enjin, minyak hitam berada pada tahap yang sesuai, periksa sama ada terdapat kesan kebocoran, kakisan atau kerosakan.\n\n\nPeriksa sekiranya terdapat sebarang keretakan pada hos dan tali sawat.\n\n\nPeriksa laporan pemeriksaan dan servis lengkap untuk mengetahui tahap kesihatan sebenar kereta yang ingin dibeli.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSemasa memasuki ruang dalaman kereta, perhatikan sama ada ruang kepala mencukupi dan sesuai dengan ketinggian anda \n\u2013 \nadakah anda perlu membongkok semasa memasuki ruang dalaman kereta?\n\n\nLaraskan tempat duduk dan sesuaikan sehingga ia berada pada kedudukan yang ideal untuk anda \n\u2013 \nadakah ruang kepala cukup selesa dan darjah penglihatan mencukupi terutama di bahagian stereng kereta?\n\n\nLaraskan cermin sisi, cermin pandang belakang. Kenal pasti sama ada kereta ini mempunyai titik buta yang besar yang boleh mengehadkan penglihatan anda sepanjang pemanduan.\n\n\nPerhatikan sama ada jarak perbatuan atau \nmileage\u00a0\nadalah sepadan dengan usia kereta \n\u2013\n jika tidak, minta penjelasan daripada perunding jualan.\n\n\nPeriksa sama ada sistem penyaman udara, tingkap, sistem penggera, \nwiper\n kereta, dan komponen-komponen lain termasuk sistem audio berfungsi dengan baik.\n\n\n\n\nPerkara yang Perlu Anda Lakukan Semasa Pandu Uji Kereta\n\n\nBerikut merupakan antara perkara yang perlu anda lakukan semasa memandu uji kereta pilihan anda:\n\n\n\n\nPastikan anda boleh melihat dengan jelas ke semua arah terutamanya di bahagian luar tingkap belakang tempat duduk anda.\n\n\nJika pandu uji kereta dengan transmisi manual, periksa sama ada terdapat sebarang masalah pada bahagian klac atau gear kereta.\n\n\nUntuk kereta automatik, perhatikan sama ada tuas gear \nself-center\n di atas gear yang betul atau sebaliknya.\n\n\nPerhatikan sama ada kereta melencong ke kiri atau ke kanan semasa pemanduan. Ia mungkin disebabkan oleh tekanan udara yang tidak mencukupi atau masalah pada sistem suspensi.\n\n\nBeri perhatian khusus kepada pengukur suhu (\ntemperature gauge\n) dan perhatikan sama ada terdapat tanda-tanda kepanasan lampau (\noverheating\n).\n\n\nBeri perhatian terhadap lampu amaran lain \n\u2013 \nadakah ia padam selepas enjin dihidupkan atau masih menyala semasa dalam pemanduan?\n\n\nPerhatikan sama ada kereta anda mengambil masa yang lama untuk berhenti sepenuhnya atau anda perlu menekan brek dengan kuat untuk memberhentikan kereta.\n\n\nLakukan ujian brek tangan di kawasan berbukit.\n\n\nLakukan pandu uji di kawasan jalan tidak rata atau berbonggol untuk menguji pengendalian dan prestasi pemanduan kereta, kenal pasti sama ada terdapat sebarang bunyi dihasilkan semasa pemanduan.\n\n\nBeri perhatian kepada prestasi pemanduan terutamanya pada bahagian stereng. Kenal pasti sama ada bahagian stereng bermasalah seperti tidak boleh dipusingkan dengan lancar atau sebagainya.\n\n\nBeri perhatian terdapat bunyi pada bahagian tayar semasa pemanduan.\n\n\nKenal pasti tahap kebisingan dalam ruang kabin \n\u2013 \nadakah anda perlu bercakap dengan penumpang lain dengan kuat?\n\n\nUji sistem kawalan suhu dalam kereta dan kenal pasti sama ada bilangannya mencukupi dan sesuai dengan saiz kereta.\n\n\nJika ada, periksa sama ada sistem navigasi atau kamera pandangan belakang kereta berfungsi dengan baik.\n\n\n\n\nPerkara yang Perlu Anda Lakukan Selepas Pandu Uji Kereta\n\n\nBerikut merupakan antara perkara yang perlu anda lakukan selepas memandu uji kereta pilihan anda:\n\n\n\n\nSelepas memandu uji, fikir semasak-masaknya sebelum membuat keputusan. Meskipun kereta yang anda cuba mempunyai kesemua ciri yang anda cari, jangan buat keputusan dengan terburu-buru.\n\n\nCara terbaik yang boleh anda praktikkan ialah memandu uji sekurang-kurangnya tiga kereta untuk mempelbagaikan pilihan anda dan membolehkan anda memilih kereta yang terbaik.\n\n\nMinta kepastian daripada perunding jualan terhadap sebarang kekeliruan yang mungkin ada:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdakah kereta ini dilindungi oleh waranti?\n\n\nBagaimanakah jadual penyelenggaraan kereta?\n\n\nApakah komponen-komponen yang perlu diperbaiki dalam masa terdekat untuk membolehkan anda merancang perbelanjaan anda?\n\n\nBerapakah anggaran kadar caj penyelenggaraan di pusat servis?\n\n\nAnggaran kos insurans kereta dan alat ganti?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmbil masa selama yang anda inginkan sebelum membuat keputusan, minta pandu uji kali kedua jika anda tidak pasti dengan keputusan anda.\n\n\nPertimbangkan keputusan anda \u2013 adakah ia selesa untuk dipandu dan menepati keperluan dan kehendak anda?\n\n\n\n\nKesilapan yang Biasa Dilakukan Semasa Pandu Uji Kereta Terpakai\n\n\n\nAntara kesilapan biasa yang dilakukan oleh bakal pembeli kereta terpakai ialah \ntidak membuat perancangan yang rapi\n sebelum memandu uji kereta idaman. Anda disarankan untuk melakukan perancangan yang teliti \nterutamanya dari segi bajet dan kemampuan kewangan semasa anda. Ketahui nilai pasaran semasa kereta anda dan kereta yang ingin dibeli, anggaran wang pendahuluan yang diperlukan, kemampuan komitmen bulanan sedia ada dan lain-lain lagi.\n\n\nIa secara tidak langsung dapat membantu memudahkan urusan pinjaman kereta anda dan mengelakkan anda daripada \nberbelanja melebihi kemampuan\n anda. Perlu diingatkan, hutang pinjaman kereta biasanya memakan masa antara lima hingga ke sembilan tahun bergantung pada pilihan anda. Oleh itu, anda mungkin tidak mahu terikat dengan komitmen bulanan yang besar untuk jangka masa panjang.\n\n\nSelain itu, jangan\n terburu-buru dalam membuat keputusan\n. Pastikan anda mempertimbangkan segala pilihan yang ada dan berfikir sedalam-dalamnya sebelum membuat keputusan. Namun begitu, ia tidak bermaksud anda perlu memandu uji kesemua kereta yang tersedia. Anda disarankan untuk mencuba beberapa buah kereta pilihan anda, pertimbangkan kebaikan dan keburukan setiap kereta sebelum membuat keputusan.\u00a0Malah, cara ini juga membantu anda menilai keputusan dan potensi alternatif yang lain yang ada.\n\n\nSelain itu, kebanyakan pembeli \nmengambil ringan atau terlupa untuk mencuba sistem teknologi atau aksesori kereta\n yang ada semasa memandu uji. Cuba sambungkan telefon anda dengan aplikasi \nBluetooth\n atau caj bateri telefon anda menggunakan \nbuilt-in charger\n yang tersedia. Ia secara tidak langsung dapat memastikan semua aksesori penting dalam kereta boleh digunakan dan berfungsi dengan baik.\n\n\nBerapa Lama Tempoh Masa yang Sesuai untuk Pandu Uji Kereta?\n\n\n\nPandu uji kereta secara amnya dilakukan bertujuan untuk membantu anda mendapatkan maklumat tambahan selain merasai pengalaman sebenar memandu kereta yang ingin dibeli. Oleh itu, ambil masa selama yang anda inginkan untuk membantu menyakinkan anda. Umumnya, kebanyakan pengedar kereta menetapkan laluan untuk pandu uji yang hanya akan mengambil masa sekitar 15 hingga 30 minit bergantung pada keadaan jalan dan trafik semasa.\n\n\nMeskipun begitu, jika anda memerlukan masa yang lebih lama untuk membantu anda membuat keputusan, anda boleh memaklumkan perkara sedemikian kepada perunding jualan anda.\u00a0Biasanya, pihak pengedar tidak akan menolak permintaan pelanggan untuk memandu uji kereta dengan lebih lama. Malah, ada sesetengah pengedar yang menawarkan tempoh pandu uji lanjutan selama 24 hingga 48 jam bergantung pada situasi.\n\n\nPandu Uji Kereta dengan Latar Geografi Berbeza\n\n\n\nSelain itu, anda juga disarankan untuk memandu uji kereta di lokasi-lokasi yang berbeza untuk mengetahui tahap prestasi kenderaan yang ingin dibeli. Pertimbangkan lokasi pandu uji seperti di kawasan luar bandar, lebuh raya, jalan raya biasa, kawasan berbukit dan sebagainya. Anda juga disarankan untuk memandu uji di jalan yang berbonggol, mempunyai selekoh tajam, berlubang, tidak rata dan lain-lain untuk mengenal pasti prestasi pengendaliannya.\n\n\ni. Uji Pemanduan di Lebuh Raya\n\n\nPemanduan di lebuh raya membolehkan anda memeriksa kadar kelajuan dan pecutan, menguji keupayaan brek, gegaran atau kadar kebisingan dalam ruang kabin. Anda juga boleh memeriksa perkara berikut semasa pandu uji di lebuh raya dilakukan:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPastikan kereta memecut dengan lancar selepas pertukaran gear dilakukan. Jika enjin kereta seperti teragak-agak, ia mungkin menandakan masalah pada komponen kereta yang perlu dipertimbangkan.\n\n\nKenal pasti titik buta kereta anda \u2013 tips ini juga boleh digunakan semasa pandu uji kereta baharu.\n\n\nTukar lorong semasa dalam kelajuan tinggi untuk melihat respons pengendalian stereng.\n\n\nPastikan stereng tidak melencong ke kiri atau ke kanan \u2013 ia menandakan masalah suspensi atau penjajaran.\n\n\nKenal pasti sama ada terdapat bunyi pelik (\nsqueaks, whines or rattles\n) di bahagian enjin kereta.\n\n\nJika boleh, uji kemampuan, kestabilan dan keselamatan kenderaan anda semasa menaiki atau menuruni bukit.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nii. Uji Pemanduan di Jalan Raya\n\n\nSelain itu, pemanduan di jalan raya dua lorong membolehkan anda mengenal pasti keupayaan untuk memintas kenderaan lain, kadar kelajuan dan pecutan serta tempoh masa yang diambil sebelum kenderaan memecut. Anda juga boleh memeriksa perkara berikut semasa pandu uji di jalan raya:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKenal pasti masa yang diambil untuk brek kereta anda berhenti sepenuhnya.\n\n\nDengar sama ada terdapat sebarang bunyi pelik (\ngrinding or squeaking noises\n) yang berlaku semasa menggunakan brek \u2013 mungkin\u00a0menandakan pad brek kereta anda telah rosak atau haus.\n\n\nPandu perlahan semasa melalui lubang atau jalan tidak sekata untuk mengenal pasti sama ada terdapat bunyi (\nrattles or knocks\n) yang mungkin menandakan masalah pada bahagian stereng.\n\n\nLakukan pusingan 90 darjah untuk menguji stereng kereta \u2013 tidak berat dan berfungsi dengan lancar.\n\n\nBeri perhatian terhadap sistem suspensi kenderaan semasa melalui jalan raya berbatu atau berlubang.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\niii. Uji Pemanduan di Kawasan Tempat Letak Kereta\n\n\nAnda juga boleh menguji dan memeriksa kualiti kereta yang ingin dibeli dengan meletakkan kereta anda di tempat letak kereta selari atau\n parallel parking\n:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPastikan stereng tidak keras dan kereta boleh dikendalikan dengan baik semasa meletakkan kereta.\n\n\nGear kereta bertukar daripada D (gear jalan) kepada R (gear undur) dengan lancar. Jika kereta tersentak atau mengeluarkan bunyi (\ngrinding noise\n) semasa menukar gear, ini menandakan sistem transmisi yang buruk.\n\n\nBeri perhatian kepada tahap responsif kereta anda \u2013 pedal minyak dan pedal brek menunjukkan prestasi yang sama dalam kedudukan gear yang berbeza.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, anda juga disarankan untuk memandu uji di lokasi yang sama seperti pemanduan harian anda. Sebagai contoh, jika anda memandu menggunakan lebuh raya setiap hari, anda mungkin boleh mempertimbangkan idea untuk memandu uji kereta baharu anda di lebuh raya berdekatan. Ia bertujuan mengenal pasti kesesuaian kereta selain menguji pengendalian dan prestasi kereta dalam situasi penggunaan harian yang sebenar.\n\n\n\n\nCara Elakkan daripada Beli Kereta Berisiko Tinggi\n\n\n\nKebiasaanya, kereta yang berisiko tinggi dan tidak berkualiti seperti kenderaan yang pernah ditenggelami banjir, kemalangan atau terbakar mempunyai tanda-tanda yang tersendiri. Carsome menyenaraikan tips seperti berikut untuk membantu mengelakkan anda daripada menanggung kos pembaikan yang lebih tinggi pada masa akan datang.\n\n\nTanda-tanda Kereta Tenggelam Banjir\n\n\nBerikut merupakan antara perkara yang boleh anda pertimbangkan untuk mengelakkan anda daripada membeli kereta yang ditenggelami banjir:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTutup tingkap dan pintu kereta \n\u2013\n jika anda mengesyaki bau lembap, hapak atau bau seakan-akan lumpur, ia mungkin menandakan kereta ini pernah ditenggalami air.\n\n\nLakukan pemeriksaan terhadap minyak atau cecair dalam kereta. Kebiasaannya, warna minyak yang ditenggelami air akan menjadi sedikit pucat berbanding biasa.\n\n\nAda kotoran (seperti lumpur, pasir atau keladak) di bahagian yang tidak sepatutnya seperti kompartmen kereta, tayar ganti kereta, celah-celah enjin, papan pemuka dan pendawaian.\n\n\nKomponen berasaskan logam seperti skru, engsel pintu, \nspring\n hud dan lain-lain berkarat atau reput.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nKereta Tenggelam Banjir? Ini 5 Perkara Yang Anda Perlu Tahu\n\n\nTanda-tanda Kereta Terlibat Kemalangan\n\n\nBerikut pula merupakan antara perkara yang boleh anda pertimbangkan untuk mengelakkan anda daripada membeli kereta yang terlibat dalam kemalangan:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJurang panel di bahagian-bahagian tertentu jauh lebih kecil/lebih besar berbanding bahagian-bahagian lain \n\u2013 \nbesar kemungkinan menandakan kereta ini pernah terlibat dalam kemalangan. Ia turut menandakan pembaikan dan penyelenggaraan kereta tidak dilakukan dengan betul selepas kemalangan.\n\n\nBahagian tertentu kereta yang dicat semula dan terdapat perbezaan tona warna kereta. Tanyakan kepada pemilik atau penjual mengenai sejarah kereta yang ingin dibeli.\n\n\nNombor siri cermin hadapan berbeza dengan nombor siri yang tertera pada cermin sisi keempat-empat bahagian. Tanyakan kepada pemilik atau penjual punca utama cermin kereta digantikan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nTips Kenal Pasti, Cara Semak Kereta Pernah Kemalangan\n\n\nTanda-tanda Kereta Pernah Kebakaran\n\n\nBerikut pula merupakan antara perkara yang boleh anda pertimbangkan untuk mengelakkan anda daripada membeli kereta yang terlibat dalam kebakaran:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFius kereta yang terbakar lebih daripada sekali menandakan terdapat masalah yang ketara berkaitan sistem elektrik kereta.\n\n\nTerdapat tumpahan minyak di bahagian bawah hud daripada gasket yang bocor.\n\n\nAnda boleh menghidu bau petrol yang kuat semasa memandu atau terdapat bau seperti plastik atau getah terbakar semasa anda memasuki kereta.\n\n\nPendawaian yang tidak kemas atau longgar dengan logam yang terdedah/Hos enjin rosak atau longgar.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nKereta Terbakar? Punca dan Cara Elakkan Kebakaran Kereta\n\n\nJika anda mengesan tanda-tanda sebegini pada\n kereta terpakai yang ingin dibeli\n, pastikan anda tidak terburu-buru dalam membuat keputusan. Ini kerana, kos pembaikan berkaitan kereta yang ditenggelami banjir, pernah mengalami kemalangan besar dan kebakaran adalah sangat tinggi dan mungkin boleh membebankan kemampuan kewangan anda.\n\n\nApa yang Perlu Anda Lakukan Jika Berlaku Kemalangan Semasa Pandu Uji?\n\n\n\nSecara amnya, anda disarankan untuk sentiasa memandu dengan berhati-hati tidak kiralah semasa memandu kereta sendiri atau kereta pandu uji untuk mengelakkan perkara-perkara buruk seperti kemalangan daripada berlaku. Ini kerana, terlibat dalam kemalangan semasa memandu uji boleh menjadi suatu mimpi buruk untuk anda.\n\n\nKos Pembaikan Ditanggung oleh Pihak Pengedar\n\n\nKebiasaannya pihak pengedar akan menanggung kos pembaikan jika berlaku kemalangan yang melibatkan kerosakan kecil seperti calar atau kemik. Kereta yang digunakan untuk pandu uji biasanya dilindungi oleh insurans \nfleet\u00a0\nyang berfungsi melindungi kereta baharu atau kereta yang tidak berdaftar. Sekiranya situasi kemalangan berlaku, insurans ini akan melindungi semua kerosakan kecil tanpa mengira pihak yang bersalah.\n\n\nNamun begitu, anda masih disarankan untuk memahami segala terma dan syarat yang dinyatakan sebelum bersetuju dan berhati-hati semasa menandatangani apa-apa dokumen seperti\n liability waiver\n sebelum pandu uji. Jika anda menandatangani dokumen sebegini, ini bermaksud anda memahami risiko yang akan berlaku dan bersetuju untuk bertanggungjawab sekiranya berlaku sebarang kerosakan atau kemalangan semasa pandu uji kereta.\n\n\nKos Pembaikan Ditanggung oleh Anda\n\n\nDalam situasi-situasi tertentu seperti kemalangan besar yang menyebabkan kenderaan pandu uji terbalik, remuk atau rosak teruk akibat perlanggaran\u2013anda perlu bertanggungjawab sepenuhnya ke atas kerosakan ini. Anda perlu laporkan insiden ini kepada pihak polis bagi membolehkan pihak polis menyiasat insiden ini bagi mengenal pasti individu yang bertanggungjawab terhadap kemalangan yang berlaku.\n\n\nJika anda didapati bersalah, segala kos berkaitan pembaikan akan dituntut daripada polisi insurans kereta peribadi anda. Namun begitu, ia tertakluk pada amaun perlindungan kereta anda. Anda juga mungkin perlu mengeluarkan kos pembaikan daripada akaun simpanan anda sekiranya anda tidak mempunyai insurans kereta sedia ada.\n\n\nKos Pembaikan Ditanggung oleh Pihak Ketiga\n\n\nJika ada kenderaan lain yang melanggar kereta pandu uji atau selepas siasatan mendapati anda tidak dipertanggungjawabkan ke atas kemalangan yang berlaku, kos pembaikan kereta akan ditanggung oleh pihak ketiga. Secara amnya, pihak ketiga akan menanggung kos pembaikan sekiranya:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPemandu lain melanggar kereta anda\n \u2013 Jika ia merupakan kemalangan yang disebabkan oleh pemandu lain, pihak pengedar kereta biasanya akan menguruskan segala urusan berkaitan. Laporan kemalangan dan tuntutan insurans akan dibuat terhadap pihak yang melanggar. Namun begitu, sekiranya anda mengalami kecederaan disebabkan oleh kemalangan ini, anda perlu menanggung kos rawatan sendiri sama ada melalui insurans kereta persendirian (\nuninsured motorist coverage\n) atau insurans kesihatan yang anda miliki.\n\n\nKereta pandu uji yang rosak\n \u2013 Jika kemalangan disebabkan oleh kerosakan kereta, pihak pengedar kereta biasanya akan bertanggungjawab terhadap segala kos pembaikan dan kos-kos lain yang terlibat. Ini termasuk memberi pampasan terhadap apa-apa kecederaan yang dialami oleh mana-mana individu yang terlibat dalam kejadian itu.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSebelum pandu uji kereta, dapatkan pengesahan daripada pengedar sama ada kenderaan yang ingin dipandu uji dilindungi oleh insurans atau tidak. Malah, anda juga disarankan untuk merujuk ejen insurans atau perunding jualan anda untuk maklumat dan kepastian lebih lanjut untuk mengelakkan daripada sebarang insiden yang tidak diingini.\n\n\n\n\nPandu Uji Kereta Terpakai dengan Carsome Promise\n\n\n\nKonklusinya, pandu uji sebelum membeli kereta terpakai merupakan satu langkah penting yang perlu dilakukan.

Ketika inilah anda boleh merasai pengalaman memandu kereta tersebut. Penjual akan semestinya berada bersama anda sepanjang sesi pandu uji dan semasa anda memandu uji kereta, anda boleh tanya soalan-soalan supaya anda faham segalanya tentang kereta tersebut serta sebarang kemusykilan yang anda ada.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAnda boleh tahu bermacam perkara semasa sesi pandu uji terutamanya ketika memandu pada kelajuan yang pelbagai di permukaan jalan yang berbeza, atau memasuki simpang, dan sebagainya. Ini dua sebab mengapa anda wajib memandu uji kereta:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMemastikan kereta sesuai dengan gaya hidup anda\n: Disebabkan kereta ini merupakan antara komitmen kewangan terbesar yang anda akan buat, anda semestinya mahukan kereta yang sesuai dengan anda. Ketika sesi pandu uji, anda berpeluang untuk faham dan merasai pengalaman memandu kereta tersebut. Anda juga boleh memeriksa ciri seperti ruang but, bilangan tempat duduk, dan lain-lain.\u00a0\n\n\nPeriksa keadaan dan prestasi kereta\n: Memandu kereta dengan meninjau kereta adalah pengalaman yang sangat berbeza. Ada beberapa perkara yang anda tidak akan perasan ketika meninjau kerana masalah seperti bunyi pelik ketika memandu ataupun masalah pengendalian stereng hanya akan muncul ketika pandu uji. Ini sangat penting terutamanya ketika anda membeli kereta terpakai kerana ada penjual yang mungkin tidak memberitahu bahagian kereta mana yang telah rosak.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDisebabkan itulah, anda sepatutnya menjangkakan kereta yang anda beli berbaloi dengan harga yang ditawarkan. Dengan pandu uji, anda berpeluang mengetahui dan merasai dengan memandu sendiri kereta yang anda ingin beli.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nPanduan Lengkap Loan Kereta: Apa yang Anda Perlu Tahu Tentang Pinjaman Kereta\n\n\nNak tahu apa yang anda sepatutnya buat sebelum pergi ke pusat jualan untuk pandu uji? Ini apa yang anda boleh buat:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSoalan yang Sepatutnya Anda Tanya Sebelum Pandu Uji\u00a0\n\n\nSebelum membeli kereta, ini soalan-soalan yang anda perlu tanya diri anda sendiri dahulu.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n Adakah Kereta Ini Sesuai Dengan Gaya Dan Keperluan Hidup Saya?\n\n\n\n\nApabila membeli kereta (baharu atau terpakai), penting untuk anda tahu dulu untuk apa kereta anda akan digunakan \u2013 adalah ia akan digunakan untuk seisi keluarga, mengambil anak daripada sekolah, untuk membawa haiwan peliharaan, aktiviti luar, atau lain-lain? Pandu uji boleh menjawab semua soalan ini.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n Cukup Ke Ruang Untuk Tempat Duduk Kanak-kanak Atau Untuk Anak-anak Duduk?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJika anda berkeluarga, kereta yang dibeli sepatutnya cukup selesa untuk penumpang hadapan dan juga penumpang belakang. Kalau boleh, bawa sekali keluarga anda untuk sesi pandu uji. Dan periksa juga ada tak ruang mencukupi untuk tempat duduk kanak-kanak. Pastikan semua orang dapat duduk dengan selesa dengan ruang kaki yang mencukupi sebab anda tak nak rasa tak selesa kerana lutut penumpang belakang menekan kerusi pemandu dan dirasai oleh anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n Macam Mana Dengan Prestasi Kereta?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nApabila anda memandu uji, pandulah melalui pelbagai permukaan jalan termasuklah lebuh raya. Perhatikan pengendalian kereta, pertukaran gear, pecutan, dan juga brek serta bagaimana ia membelok.\u00a0\n\n\nAnda juga patut tanya tentang penggunaan minyak kereta. Contohnya, berapa banyak minyak diperlukan untuk memandu sejauh 100km. Kebiasaannya, lima hingga lapan liter untuk setiap 100km sudah cukup tetapi kalau melebihi 12 liter untuk setiap 100km, penggunaan minyak boleh dianggap tidak cekap.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n Kereta Senang Diparkir?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSetiap perjalanan dimulakan dan berakhir dengan parkir. Membeli kereta yang mudah diparkir boleh menjimatkan banyak masa dan boleh mengelakkan rasa kecewa nanti. Jadi, pertimbangkan faktor ini termasuklah keperluan untuk parkir di tempat kerja dan rumah anda. Kereta baharu kini dilengkapi dengan ciri canggih seperti sistem bantu parkir yang boleh membantu anda memarkir dengan betul dengan bantuan kamera beserta pengesan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n Ciri Yang Anda Tak Suka?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSetelah selesai pandu uji, fikirkan apa yang anda tak suka tentang kereta tersebut. Butiran kecil seperti mudah tak nak keluar masuk kereta (terutama jika anda seorang yang tinggi atau memerlukan bantuan) atau keselesaan kerusi mungkin boleh diambil kira nanti.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSenarai Semak Apa Yang Patut Anda Buat Sebelum, Semasa, & Selepas Pandu Uji\n\n\n\n\nMembeli kereta lebih-lebih lagi kereta terpakai boleh jadi perkara yang menyeronokkan atau menakutkan. Ini merupakan senarai semak yang boleh membantu anda semasa pandu uji dan segalanya yang perlu anda buat sebelum, semasa, dan selepas pandu uji.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \n4 Cara Mudah Untuk Kenal Pasti Kereta Terpakai yang Terbaik Bagi Pembeli Kali Pertama\n\n\nSebelum Memilih Kereta\u00a0\n\n\nSelidik dahulu kereta yang anda nak beli sebelum melawat ke pusat jualan. Anda boleh baca ulasan dalam talian, menyertai ruang perbincangan, dan mencari panduan membeli bagi kereta yang anda ingini untuk dapatkan maklumat tentang kereta yang anda mahukan.\u00a0\n\n\nSebelum Masuk Ke Dalam Kereta\u00a0\n\n\nAnda sepatutnya periksa:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJika ada sebarang kesan karat di bawah kereta, lingkungan tayar, dan juga badan kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nJika ada sebarang kesan lekukan dan calar.\u00a0\n\n\nJika keadaan paip ekzos dipasang dengan betul dan kuat.\u00a0\n\n\nWarna asap kereta yang keluar daripada ekzos.\u00a0\n\n\nJika semua lampu dan lampu isyarat kereta berfungsi.\u00a0\n\n\nKeadaan tayar. Adakah ia sudah haus? Jika bunga tayar kurang daripada 3mm, ia perlu ditukar.\u00a0\n\n\nBahagian enjin dengan minyak enjin perlu diisi pada tahap yang betul atau jika ada sebarang kesan karat atau bocor.\u00a0\n\n\nSebarang kesan merekah pada hos dan tali sawat.\u00a0\n\n\nLaporan servis dan pemeriksaan kereta untuk mengetahui tentang keadaan kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nDokumen yang lengkap untuk kereta (cukai jalan, insurans, dsb).\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSebelum Menghidupkan Enjin\n\n\n\n\nPastikan sistem maklumat hibur termasuklah audio berfungsi dengan baik. Dengarkan sebarang bunyi yang tenggelam atau tidak jelas yang menjadi tanda audio yang telah rosak.\u00a0\n\n\nPeriksa perbatuan. Adakah perbatuan yang direkodkan rasional dengan keadaan kereta?\u00a0\n\n\nPeriksa jika pendingin hawa, tingkap, sistem kunci, bilah pengelap cermin, dan cermin sisi berfungsi dengan sempurna.\u00a0\n\n\nPeriksa juga untuk lampu amaran. Ada yang mati sejurus enjin dihidupkan? Ada yang hidup semasa pemanduan?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSemasa Pandu Uji\n\n\n\n\nAdakah kereta memecut apabila anda menekan pedal minyak?\u00a0\n\n\nAdakah stereng berpusing dengan lancar? Jika kereta melencong ke satu sisi semasa anda memandu, ia mungkin disebabkan tekanan tayar tak sekata atau masalah pada suspensi.\u00a0\n\n\nPerhatikan tolok suhu untuk sebarang tanda peningkatan suhu.\u00a0\n\n\nBagi kereta manual, adakah cekam (\nclutch\n) boleh ditekan? Bolehkah anda menukar gear dengan senang dan adakah kereta menyentak semasa pertukaran gear?\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk kereta automatik, adakah tuil gear berada pada kedudukan yang betul atau anda perlu membetulkannya secara manual?\u00a0\n\n\nApabila membrek, adakah kereta berhenti sepenuhnya atau anda perlu menekan pedal brek dengan kuat barulah kereta berhenti? Ada dengar sebarang bunyi pelik semasa anda membrek?\u00a0\n\n\nUji brek tangan, sebaiknya di bukit.\u00a0\n\n\nPandu di atas bonggol kelajuan untuk merasai pemanduan di atas permukaan jalan tak rata. Dengarkan juga untuk sebarang bunyi ketukan atau dentangan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSelepas Pandu Uji\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTunggu beberapa minit sebelum mematikan kereta dan hidupkan semula sementara enjin masih lagi panas. Jika ia tidak hidup, pasti ada masalah yang serius yang anda nak elak kerana ia mungkin berpunca daripada pemancit bahan api.\u00a0\n\n\nAdakah ia sesi pemanduan yang selesa? Adakah ia sesuai dengan keperluan harian anda? Adakah cukup ruang kaki bagi semua penumpang yang akan menaiki kereta anda?\u00a0\n\n\nJangan buat keputusan terus. Yang terbaik adalah untuk memandu uji kereta sebanyak tiga kali bagi membiasakan diri anda dengan kereta dan memastikan anda sentiasa ada pilihan yang lain.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKesilapan yang Mahu Dielakkan Semasa Pandu Uji\u00a0\n\n\nIni merupakan antara kesilapan yang anda mahu elakkan semasa anda memandu uji kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBertemu Dengan Pemilik/Berkunjung Ke Pusat jualan tanpa perancangan\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSebelum bertemu dengan pemilik atau berkunjung ke pusat jualan, selidik dahulu kereta yang anda ingin beli. Ketahui berapa harga kereta, berapa banyak anda boleh bayar untuk kereta serta pembaikan yang ada dan kenal pasti mengapa anda nak membeli kereta tersebut. Jangan termakan dengan pujuk rayu jurujual untuk membeli kereta yang lain.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTidak Membuat Bajet Yang Betul\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKetika menyediakan bajet bagi kereta baharu anda, selain daripada mengambil tahu tentang harga pasaran dan jumlah pinjaman, anda juga sepatutnya buat kira-kira bagi penyelenggaraan kereta dan juga untuk sebarang\u00a0 kerosakan yang mungkin berlaku.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTidak Mempertimbangkan Dengan Sebaiknya Kereta Yang Ingin Dibeli\n\n\n\n\nApa saja yang anda nak beli, jangan terlalu terburu-buru untuk membuat keputusan. Tak perlulah pandu uji setiap kereta yang dijual tetapi yang penting ialah anda mengambil masa untuk mempertimbangkan sebelum membuat keputusan untuk membeli.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBerapa Lama & Di Mana Nak Pandu Uji?\u00a0\n\n\nInilah masanya untuk menilai kereta yang anda pilih dan anda boleh mengesan sebarang masalah dengan rangkaian pemacu (\ndrivetrain\n), pemanduan, suspensi, brek, atau lain-lain bahagian penting pada kereta. Berkenaan berapa lama sepatutnya anda memandu uji kereta, anda sepatutnya memandu seberapa lama yang boleh dan di beberapa jenis permukaan jalan dan juga keadaan memandu yang berbeza.\u00a0\n\n\nKebanyakan pusat jualan mempunyai laluan yang telah ditetapkan dan mereka akan cadangkan kepada anda laluan ini yang kebiasaannya mengambil masa 15 hingga 30 minit. Tetapi jangan takut untuk meminta untuk memanjangkan sesi pandu uji jika anda perlukannya.\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, di mana anda mahu pandu uji kereta? Jika anda tinggal dan bekerja di bandar, anda semestinya akan memandu di pelbagai keadaan jalan sepanjang hari. Jadi, jika anda ingin\u00a0 memandu uji, anda sepatutnya memandu di dalam kawasan bandar, di atas lebuh raya, dan juga di jalan luar bandar/kampung. Uji pengendalian kereta pada pelbagai kelajuan dan jangan lupa\u00a0 untuk menguji kecekapan brek.\u00a0\n\n\nKetika Anda Memandu Di Atas Jalan Dengan Trafik Tak Menentu\n\n\n\n\nPastikan untuk perhatikan sensasi brek apabila anda berhenti.\u00a0\n\n\nDengarkan untuk sebarang bunyi berkeriut atau berdecit yang menjadi tanda pad brek yang telah haus.\n\n\nBagaimana pemanduan melalui lubang jalan dan jalan tak rata? Anda sepatutnya memandu perlahan dan mendengar untuk sebarang bunyi berdentang atau ketukan yang menandakan masalah pada stereng.\u00a0\n\n\nKeadaan kereta ketika membelok selekoh tajam? Adakah ia bergerak dengan lancar tanpa bergoyang? Sebarang rintangan atau sentakan mungkin petanda masalah pada suspensi.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKetika Memandu Di Lebuh Raya Di Mana Anda Boleh Memecut:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAdakah kereta anda memecut dengan laju dan bergerak lancar daripada gear ke gear? Jika kereta menyentak ketika bertukar gear, itu merupakan petanda masalah enjin.\u00a0\n\n\nMenukar laluan dengan berhati-hati beberapa kali untuk mengetahui tindak balas kereta pada kelajuan yang berbeza.\u00a0\n\n\nDengar untuk sebarang bunyi berdecit, bising di sebalik bunyi enjin. Ia mungkin tanda tali sawat yang rosak atau pad brek.\u00a0\n\n\nMendaki bukit untuk memeriksa brek.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKetika Anda Parkir Sisi\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPertukaran kepada gear undur yang lancar. Jika kereta tersentak atau mengeluarkan bunyi berdentang ketika menukar gear, ia mungkin tanda masalah transmisi.\u00a0\n\n\nBagaimana dengan tindak balas kereta? Ketika kereta dalam gear undur, adakah pedal minyak dan brek terasa \u2018lain\u2019?\u00a0\n\n\nMuat ke kereta dalam ruang parkir biasa?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSekarang anda pun dah tahu apa yang perlu dibuat sebelum, semasa, dan selepas pandu uji dna juga di mana anda boleh pandu uji kereta, jadi anda kini boleh membezakan antara kereta terpakai yang bagus dan juga kereta terpakai berisiko tinggi. Ini caranya untuk anda mengelakkan daripada terbeli kereta berisiko tinggi.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBagaimana Untuk Elakkan Terbeli Kereta Berisiko Tinggi?\u00a0\n\n\nNak Tahu Tanda-tanda Kereta Berisiko Tinggi? Ini Tanda-tandanya:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPeriksa untuk tanda-tanda jika kereta anda pernah mengalami kebakaran. Fius yang terbakar lebih daripada sekali ialah tanda bahawa komponen elektrik yang telah rosak.\u00a0\n\n\nTumpahan minyak pada bahagian enjin daripada gasket yang bocor.\u00a0\n\n\nAda kebocoran cecair di bawah kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nAnda boleh terbau petrol bukan pada masa mengisi minyak.\u00a0\n\n\nAda perubahan langsung pada tahap minyak, tahap petrol, dan suhu enjin.\u00a0\n\n\nHos enjin yang longgar atau rosak.\u00a0\n\n\nBau plastik atau getah terbakar ketika anda memasuki kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nWayar elektrik yang merekah atau longgar mendedahkan besi di dalam wayar.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTanda-tanda Kereta Yang Anda Uji Pernah Ditenggelami Banjir\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBau hapak dan pengap ketika memasuki kereta\u00a0\n\n\nMinyak enjin yang berwarna pucat dan menjadi melekit.\u00a0\n\n\nKotoran seperti debu, lumpur, pasir, dan selut memenuhi beberapa tempat seperti dalam kotak simpanan papan pemuka, di antara enjin, di dalam but, di bawah tayar simpanan, di celah tempat duduk, dan di bawah papan pemuka.\u00a0\n\n\nSebarang karat atau hakisan pada bahagian besi (skru, engsel pintu, spring hud, bingkai badan luaran).\u00a0\n\n\nLampu amaran yang berkabut daripada air yang masih terperangkap di dalamnya.\u00a0\n\n\nAda gelembung muncul pada cat kereta menandakan ia dicat dengan tidak kemas untuk menutup kesan karat.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMacam Mana Nak Tahu Kereta Yang Dibeli Pernah Mengalami Kemalangan Teruk? Ini Caranya:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPeriksa cat kereta untuk kesan cat yang tak rata menunjukkan ada usaha untuk menutup kesan kemalangan.\u00a0\n\n\nPeriksa untuk sebarang alat ganti pihak ketiga atau yang tak sepadan di bawah hud yang mungkin digunakan untuk pembaikan yang murah.\u00a0\n\n\nAda sebarang ruang sela di antara pintu? Anda terpaksa menolak pintu dengan kuat bagi menutup pintu atau anda boleh masukkan jari di antara dapra (\nfender\n) dan pintu apabila pintu tertutup? Memandangkan ada bahagian yang boleh tercabut selepas kemalangan, memasangnya kembali bukanlah kerja yang mudah.\u00a0\n\n\nKereta yang tidak bergerak lurus ketika memandu? Itu mungkin tanda kerosakan jajaran kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nPeriksa tayar untuk kehausan tayar yang tak sekata.\u00a0\n\n\nNampak sebarang kesan kimpalan pada bahagian badan kereta?\n\n\n\n\nJika ada tanda-tanda ini pada kereta yang anda pandu uji, elakkan daripada membelinya kerana kos untuk membaiki kereta sebegini sangat mahal.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nKesilapan Biasa Yang Pembeli Selalu Buat Semasa Pandu Uji\n\n\n\n\nPandu Milik Kereta CARSOME Certified\n\n\nKenapa ramai yang memilih CARSOME?

Anda boleh memeriksa Maklumat Tekanan Tayar atau Tire and Loading Information yang tersedia di bahagian tepi sebelah tempat duduk pemandu.\n\n\nSelain itu, anda juga disarankan untuk memeriksa dan mengisi angin tayar kereta anda sekurang-kurangnya sebulan sekali atau sekali setiap dua minggu. Tekanan angin tayar kereta yang sesuai dapat membantu meningkatkan kualiti pemanduan dan tahap cengkaman tayar yang lebih baik.\n\n\nKesan Tayar Kurang Angin Terhadap Pemanduan Anda\n\n\nTekanan angin tayar kereta yang terlalu rendah boleh meningkatkan penggunaan bahan api, menjejaskan prestasi pemanduan serta pengendalian kenderaan terutamanya di jalan raya yang berselekoh.\n\n\nManakala, tekanan angin tayar kereta yang terlalu tinggi boleh mengurangkan cengkaman tayar dan mengakibatkan tayar bengkak atau pecah.

Punca Kerosakan Tayar yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\nCara Kenal Pasti Masa Terbaik Tukar Tayar Kereta\n\n\n\n\nRamai dalam kalangan pemilik kereta yang tidak mengambil serius kepentingan keadaan tayar dan memandang mudah aspek penjagaan tayar kereta. Secara amnya, anda disarankan untuk ganti atau tukar tayar kereta sekiranya ia menunjukkan tanda-tanda dan simptom kerosakan seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Bunga Tayar Haus\n\n\nTayar kereta biasanya dilengkapi dengan indikator yang menunjukkan tahap kehausan bunga tayar atau \ntread-wear indicator\n (TWI). Penunjuk yang biasanya terletak di antara bunga tayar ini membolehkan anda mengenal pasti tahap kehausan bunga tayar kereta anda.\n\n\nJika penunjuk ini berada selari atau searas dengan bunga tayar, ia menandakan tayar kereta anda perlu digantikan dengan segera. Tayar kereta yang haus tidak selamat untuk digunakan terutamanya semasa pemanduan dalam hujan.\n\n\nTIPS: PENUNJUK TWI BOLEH DIKENAL PASTI MELALUI SIMBOL ANAK PANAH, LOGO ATAU PERKATAAN TWI PADA BAHAGIAN TEPI DINDING TAYAR.\n\n\n2. Tayar Kereta Merekah\n\n\nKeadaan dan prestasi tayar secara lazimnya akan merosot bergantung pada kekerapan penggunaan dan tabiat pemanduan. Biasanya, tayar kereta akan merekah di bahagian tepi disebabkan oleh faktor persekitaran seperti cuaca dan faktor luaran lain seperti tekanan angin tayar kereta yang berlebihan atau tidak mencukupi. Jika anda mendapati terdapat rekahan pada bunga tayar dan dinding tayar \u2013 tukar tayar kereta anda secepat mungkin.\n\n\n3. Tayar Lama\n\n\nDi Malaysia umumnya, semua tayar yang sah dan selamat untuk digunakan di jalan raya mestilah mempunyai \nkod tayar kereta\n yang memaparkan maklumat seperti jenis, saiz, tahap bebanan, kelajuan maksimum serta minggu dan tahun pembuatan.\n\n\nSeperti dinyatakan di atas, prestasi tayar akan merosot dari semasa ke semasa meskipun kereta anda jarang digunakan. Kebanyakan pakar berpendapat tayar kereta perlu digantikan setiap dua hingga tiga tahun bergantung pada penggunaan anda.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nSelamat Ke Tayar Buatan Tahun 2019? Bila Tayar Lama Ni Akan Luput?\n\n\n4. Tayar Kurang Mencengkam\n\n\nJika anda mendapati keadaan tayar masih baik (kedalaman bunga tayar, usia tayar dan sebagainya masih selamat) namun kualiti cengkaman tayar kereta anda tidak begitu baik terutamanya semasa membrek, ini merupakan petanda bahawa anda perlu menggantikan tayar lama anda kepada tayar baharu.\n\n\n5. Tayar Bengkak\n\n\nJika kereta anda mengalami gegaran yang luar biasa pada bahagian stereng semasa pemanduan pada kelajuan tinggi, ia mungkin disebabkan oleh masalah jajaran (\nalignment\n) atau penyeimbangan (\nbalancing) \npada bahagian tayar kereta.\n\n\nNamun begitu, jika anda mendapati gegaran berlaku semasa pemanduan pada kelajuan rendah, ia mungkin berpunca daripada tayar bengkak, atau \nshifted belt\n yang berlaku pada tayar.\n\n\nSecara amnya, punca tayar bengkak boleh disebabkan masalah dalam proses pembuatan atau akibat pelanggaran dengan objek asing di atas jalan seperti batu, besi, paku atau keadaan jalan yang berlubang dan berbonggol.\n\n\n6. Tayar Rosak\n\n\nDalam sesetengah situasi, \ntayar kereta bocor atau pancit\n tidak lagi boleh ditampal untuk digunakan semula dan perlu digantikan dengan tayar baharu. Biasanya, tayar yang rosak teruk perlu dilupuskan demi keselamatan dan keselesaan pengguna.\n\n\nBerikut merupakan tanda-tanda kerosakan pada tayar yang tidak selamat untuk ditampal untuk panduan anda:\n\n\n\n\nDinding tayar rosak teruk kerana memandu semasa tayar tiada angin atau bocor.\n\n\nLubang kebocoran terlalu besar \u2013 kebocoran yang disebabkan oleh paku atau skru biasanya terutamanya di bahagian bunga tayar masih boleh diselamatkan.\n\n\nKebocoran berlaku di bahagian dinding tayar\u2013lokasi sensitif dan tidak digalakkan untuk ditampal disebabkan oleh tekanan yang tinggi.\n\n\nKekerapan kebocoran turut memainkan peranan, sesetengah syarikat tayar tidak membenarkan tampalan dilakukan lebih daripada dua kali dengan jarak minimum 16 inci antara satu-satu lokasi tampalan.\n\n\n\n\nJika anda pertimbangkan untuk tukar tayar kereta anda disebabkan tanda-tanda yang disenaraikan di atas, berikut merupakan tips dan panduan memilih jenis tayar dan saiz tayar terbaik untuk kereta anda.\n\n\nTip Memilih Jenis, Saiz Tayar Kereta Terbaik\n\n\nJenis dan saiz tayar kereta yang sesuai dan terbaik untuk kereta anda bergantung sepenuhnya pada model kereta dan tabiat pemanduan anda. Sekiranya anda menggunakan kereta untuk pemanduan jarak dekat seperti menghantar anak ke sekolah atau ke pasar untuk membeli barangan keperluan \u2013 \ntayar jenis ekonomi dan kos rendah\n mungkin boleh dipertimbangkan.\n\n\n\n\nNamun begitu, jika anda lebih banyak menghabiskan masa dengan memandu di jalan raya atau lebuh raya, tayar dengan faktor keselesaan yang tinggi dan kadar penggunaan bahan api yang rendah mungkin lebih sesuai untuk anda.\n\n\nBagi pemandu kereta mewah atau kereta \nsport\n, anda mungkin boleh mempertimbangkan faktor-faktor lain seperti kecekapan pengendalian, cengkaman dan kelancaran pemanduan sebelum memilih tayar kereta yang terbaik untuk anda.\n\n\nJenis Tayar Kereta Terbaik\n\n\nPemilihan jenis tayar kereta yang terbaik mungkin boleh memeningkan anda lebih-lebih lagi jika ia merupakan pembelian pertama anda. Oleh itu, CARSOME menyenaraikan tiga jenis bunga tayar kereta yang biasa digunakan di Malaysia untuk pertimbangan anda:\n\n\n1. Bunga Tayar Directional\n\n\nKelebihan tayar dengan bunga tayar jenis ini adalah seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\nTayar jenis ini hanya boleh digunakan berpandukan arah yang disyorkan. Rujuk bahagian sisi tayar untuk kepastian. Lazimnya, tayar depan di bahagian kiri hanya boleh ditukarkan (\nrotate\n) dengan tayar belakang di bahagian kiri sahaja.\n\n\nIa didatangkan dengan reka bentuk V\u2013sesuai untuk permukaan jalan yang basah kerana rekaan ini akan mengalirkan air keluar melalui bahagian bawah tayar.\n\n\nTayar jenis ini biasanya mengeluarkan bunyi yang agak bising.\n\n\n\n\n2. Bunga Tayar Symmetrical\n\n\nKelebihan tayar dengan bunga tayar jenis ini adalah seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\nTayar jenis ini menampilkan corak bunga tayar yang hampir sama di keseluruhan tayar.\n\n\nIa merupakan jenis bunga tayar yang biasa digunakan dalam kalangan pemilik kereta kerana tayar jenis ini dikatakan lebih senyap, tahap lama dan lebih menjimatkan.\n\n\nTayar jenis ini boleh ditukarkan dengan tayar dari kesemua arah \u2013 kiri, kanan, belakang, depan.\n\n\nMeskipun begitu, prestasi tayar jenis ini pada permukaan yang basah tidak sebaik tayar directional.\n\n\n\n\n3. Bunga Tayar Asymmetrical\n\n\nKelebihan tayar dengan bunga tayar jenis ini adalah seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\nTayar jenis ini biasa digunakan dalam kalangan pemilik kereta sport atau kereta mewah.\n\n\nIa menampilkan kombinasi bunga tayar yang berbeza di bahagian dalam dan luar tayar.\n\n\nTayar jenis ini mempunyai kadar cengkaman yang kuat dan baik pada semua permukaan\u2013kering atau basah.\n\n\nIa juga menjadikan pemanduan lebih stabil terutamanya di kawasan selekoh\n\n\nNamun begitu, kos untuk tayar ini dikatakan lebih mahal berbanding tayar-tayar jenis lain.\n\n\n\n\nSaiz Rim Dan Tayar Kereta Terbaik\n\n\nSecara amnya, saiz tayar kereta yang sesuai adalah bergantung pada spesifikasi kereta anda. Anda boleh merujuk manual kereta anda untuk lebih kepastian. Namun begitu, saiz rim dan tayar kereta yang lebih besar daripada saiz standard biasanya boleh digunakan untuk kereta anda.\n\n\nSebagai contoh, dengan saiz standard 15 inci, anda boleh menukar rim kereta kepada rim bersaiz 16 atau 17 inci. Anda tidak digalakkan untuk menggunakan \nrim kereta\n yang terlalu besar kerana ia boleh bergesel terutamanya semasa melalui jalan yang tidak sekata atau berbonggol.\n\n\nSelain itu, pastikan saiz tayar bersesuaian dengan saiz rim. Ambil kira diameter dalaman dan lebar tayar sebelum membeli tayar yang sesuai. Jika tayar terlalu lebar atau terlalu kecil untuk rim kereta, ia boleh meningkatkan risiko kerosakan pada tayar. Malah, saiz rim kereta yang besar juga mengurangkan kuasa pecutan dan meningkatkan kos penggunaan bahan api.\n\n\nLangkah Mudah Periksa Tayar Kereta untuk Keselamatan Anda\n\n\nMeskipun pemeriksaan tayar sebelum memulakan perjalanan boleh dianggap sebagai suatu perbuatan yang remeh, namun sebenarnya ia mampu menyelamatkan nyawa anda sekiranya berlaku situasi kecemasan. Anda disarankan untuk mengamalkan langkah-langkah keselamatan mudah seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Periksa Kerosakan Tayar\n\n\nJalan raya boleh diibaratkan seperti medan perang untuk tayar kereta anda. Ia mengandungi pelbagai jenis barangan berbahaya seperti skru, serpihan logam, kaca dan batu tajam yang menunggu masa untuk melekat pada tayar kereta anda. Oleh itu, pastikan anda memeriksa tayar kereta anda secara berkala dan kenal pasti sebarang tanda-tanda kerosakan atau koyakan pada tayar kereta yang boleh menyebabkan kebocoran.\n\n\nTayar kereta dilengkapi dengan indikator yang menunjukkan tahap kehausan bunga tayar. Ia sekali gus membolehkan anda memeriksa dan mengetahui keadaan semasa bunga tayar kereta anda. Selain itu, dalam sesetengah keadaan, bunga tayar botak atau tayar kereta haus menandakan masalah-masalah tertentu pada bahagian kereta yang memerlukan pemeriksaan serius daripada anda.\n\n\n2. Periksa Bacaan AnginTayar Kereta\n\n\nPeriksa bacaan angin tayar kereta anda. Tekanan angin tayar kereta yang ideal dapat membantu menjimatkan kos dan mengurangkan risiko kemalangan sepanjang pemanduan. Tekanan angin tayar yang bersesuaian juga dapat:\n\n\n\n\nMeningkatkan jangka hayat dan ketahanan tayar kereta dengan lebih lama;\n\n\nMelancarkan dan memberi keselesaan sepanjang perjalanan;\n\n\nMenjimatkan bahan api dan menjamin lebih kilometer untuk kereta anda;\n\n\nMenguatkan cengkaman tayar di atas jalan;\n\n\nMengurangkan pelepasan karbon dioksida ke udara.\n\n\n\n\nSemoga perkongsian ini dapat memberi anda lebih informasi mengenai tekanan angin tayar kereta dan tips memilih tayar kereta yang terbaik untuk kereta anda. Memastikan tayar kereta sentiasa dalam keadaan yang baik dan tekanan angin tayar berada pada tahap yang betul adalah sangat penting untuk menjamin keselamatan anda dan juga penjimatan kos pemilikan kereta untuk jangka masa panjang.\n\n\nJika anda merancang untuk membeli kereta terpakai atau menjual kereta lama anda, boleh layari \ncarsome.my\n atau \nmuat turun aplikasi mudah alih kami\n untuk dapatkan kereta pramilik berkualiti yang telah dibaik pulih secara profesional!\n\n\nSetiap kereta CARSOME Certified dijual pada harga tetap tanpa sebarang bayaran tersembunyi dan didatangkan dengan waranti lanjutan selama satu tahun bersama jaminan pulangan wang dalam lima hari untuk memastikan ketenangan minda anda.\n\n", "Carsome Author", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

That\u2019s why if you commit a traffic offense on Malaysian roads, you can get summoned for it. Each traffic offense carries a different \u2018saman\u2019 or summons rate with parking violations having lower rates than more serious offenses such as speeding and running a red light. In this article, we highlight the compound and summons rates in Malaysia from parking offenses to more serious ones.\n\n\n\n\nTraffic Offense Categories in Malaysia\n\n\nTraffic offenses in Malaysia are grouped into four categories. The categories denote the severity of the offenses with Category 1 being the most serious offenses and Category 4 being minor offenses. If you are caught committing these offenses you can be summoned by the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) or Land Transport Department (JPJ) officers. Below are the categories of traffic offenses in Malaysia:\n\n\n\n\nCategory 1:\n Offenses categorized as the primary \ncauses of road accidents\n and traffic congestion, and are a high risk to the safety of road users.\n\n\nCategory 2:\n Offenses relating to the negative behavior of the driver and vehicle technical issues that actively contribute to road accidents, traffic congestion, and risk to public safety.\n\n\nCategory 3: \nVehicle technical issues that passively contribute to road accidents, traffic congestion, and risk to public safety. Also includes offenses that render a vehicle unsafe.\n\n\nCategory 4:\n Other road offenses that do not contribute to accidents, traffic congestion, and do not pose a public safety risk.\n\n\n\n\nCompound and Summons Rates in Malaysia: Rates for PDRM, JPJ Summons, and Parking Compounds\n\n\nThe compound and summons rates for traffic offenses vary according to the severity of the offense. While getting a police summons is never pleasant, you can pay a lower rate if you settle it earlier. This is thanks to the standardized compound system, which applies to most traffic offenses including parking compounds issued by councils like Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).\u00a0\n\n\nWith this system in place, if you settle your summonses as early as possible (within 15 days), you only need to pay 50 percent of the full amount, or even lower in some cases. So whether you receive a parking \u2018saman\u2019 or speeding fine, paying it off early can help you save a lot of money.

Pesalah juga boleh dikenakan denda antara RM30,000 hingga RM50,000 dan hilang kelayakan lesen minimum 7 tahun bagi sabitan kali pertama. Manakala, bagi sabitan kali kedua dan seterusnya, pesalah boleh dipenjara minimum 10 tahun atau maksimum 15 tahun, denda antara RM50,000 hingga RM100,000 dan hilang kelayakan lesen selama 10 tahun.\n\n\nSeksyen 45: Keadaan Menjaga Kenderaan Motor Semasa Berada di Bawah Pengaruh Minuman yang Memabukkan atau Dadah\n\n\nBagi Seksyen 45, pindaan dilakukan dalam Subseksyen (1) yang memperuntukkan hukuman penjara tidak melebihi 2 tahun, denda antara RM1,000 hingga RM5,000 dan hilang kelayakan lesen tidak kurang daripada 2 tahun bagi sabitan kali pertama.

Pesalah juga turut berdepan hukuman penjara selama tempoh tidak melebihi 5 tahun dan denda tidak kurang daripada RM20,000 dan tidak lebih daripada RM50,000 sekiranya disabitkan dengan kesalahan yang sama kali kedua dan seterusnya. Individu yang disabitkan di bawah seksyen ini boleh hilang kelayakan lesen memandu selama tempoh tidak kurang daripada 2 tahun untuk sabitan kali pertama dan tidak kurang daripada 5 tahun untuk sabitan kali kedua dan seterusnya.\n\n\nSelain itu, bagi kesalahan mengikut Seksyen 45B (Ujian Nafas) dan Seksyen 45C (Pengadaan Spesimen bagi Analisis) dipinda kepada penjara tidak melebihi 2 tahun dan denda tidak kurang daripada RM10,000 dan tidak lebih daripada RM30,000. Manakala sabitan kali kedua dan seterusnya akan dikenakan hukuman penjara tidak melebihi 5 tahun dan denda tidak kurang daripada RM20,000 dan tidak lebih daripada RM50,000. Individu yang disabitkan kesalahan di bawah seksyen ini akan hilang kelayakan lesen memandu selama tempoh tidak kurang daripada 2 tahun (sabitan kali pertama) dan tidak kurang daripada 5 tahun (sabitan kali kedua dan seterusnya).\n\n\n\n\nAkta Pengangkutan Jalan (Pindaan) 2020 baharu itu diharap dapat dapat memberikan kesedaran kepada orang ramai khususnya pengguna jalan raya terhadap pematuhan undang-undang. Ia sekali gus dapat memupuk sikap pengguna jalan raya yang berhemah selain memastikan jalan raya di negara ini \nkekal selamat\n.\n\n", "Ahmad Azwadie Azman", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Bagi yang tak biasa dengan cuaca di Malaysia, di sini ada dua musim \u2013 musim panas dan musim hujan, dan menuju hujung tahun, kita akan dilanda hujan lebat kerana kedatangan musim monsun.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBagi mereka yang memandu, keadaan hujan lebat mungkin akan menyukarkan pemanduan kerana penglihatan yang terhad dan keadaan jalan yang licin. Jadi, berikut adalah beberapa tips keselamatan yang boleh anda ikuti semasa memandu ketika hujan!\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nTip Penjagaan & Pemanduan Kereta Semasa Musim Hujan\n\n\n7 Tips Untuk Anda Kekal Selamat\n\n\nPeriksa Tayar & Pengelap Cermin Depan\n\n\n\n\nAntara amalan yang bagus dibuat adalah memeriksa tayar dan pengelap sebelum anda memulakan perjalanan ketika ujan. Tayar kereta anda tak sepatutnya botak di mana bunga tayar anda perlu mempunyai ketebalan sekurang-kurangnya 2mm kerana apa-apa yang lagi nipis daripada ini boleh mengakibatkan kereta anda boleh menyatah air (aquaplaning) disebabkan tayar kehilangan cengkaman di atas jalan.\u00a0\n\n\nPengelap cermin depan\n pula sepatutnya diperiksa setiap 6 bulan untuk memastikan ia boleh mengelap air daripada cermin depan untuk penglihatan lebih jelas. Cuaca panas juga boleh menyebabkan pengelap kering dan merekah jadi pemeriksaan berkala sangat-sangat penting.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nCara Menjaga Kereta Anda dan Mengapa Ia Perlu Dijaga\n\n\nMemandu Laju = JANGAN!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTak kisahlah apa yang terjadi sekalipun, anda tak boleh memandu laju semasa hujan lebat kerana ia boleh membahayakan anda dan pemandu lain. Anda sepatutnya mengurangkan kelajuan\u00a0 semasa hujan dan jalan basah. Kalau anda perlu sampai awal, anda boleh berlotak lebih awal sedikit supaya anda tak perlu bergegas di atas jalan sekiranya hujan.\u00a0\n\n\nHidupkan Lampu Depan\n\n\n\n\nSekalipun kalau hujan di waktu siang, ia boleh menjejaskan penglihatan di atas jalan jadi anda perlu memasang lampu depan anda dengan segera. Ia bukan sahaja dapat membantu anda melihat dengan lebih jelas, tetapi juga boleh memberi isyarat kepada pemandu lain yang anda berada di situ dan sedang bergerak.\n\n\nTapi tak kira berapa lebat pun hujan dan jika kenderaan anda sedang bergerak, lampu kecemasan sepatutnya TIDAK dipasang! Bagi mereka yang tidak tahu, lampu kecemasan hanya boleh dipasang ketika anda memberhentikan kereta anda untuk memberi isyarat kepada pemandu lain.\u00a0\n\n\nPegang Stereng Dengan Dua Tangan\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAnda diajar untuk memegang stereng dengan kedua-dua belah tangan untuk satu sebab, supaya anda boleh mengawal kereta anda! Cara ini betul-betul berguna lagi-lagi apabila anda sedang memandu dalam keadaan hujan lebat dengan angin yang kuat.\n\n\nAnda perlu memegang stereng dengan kemas menggunakan kedua-dua tangan anda untuk mengelakkan kereta anda daripada tergelincir di atas jalan dengan mudah memandangkan jalan licin.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nKereta Bunyi Berdengung, Bersiul? Masalah Bunyi Kereta Biasa Berlaku yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\nJaga Jarak Dengan Kereta Depan\n\n\n\n\nIngat tak peraturan 12 saat yang anda belajar semasa mengambil \nlesen memandu\n? Cuma nak ingatkan kembali, peraturan 12 saat merujuk kepada jarak anda kereta anda dengan kereta di depan anda.\u00a0\n\n\nKenapa 12 saat? Kerana sekiranya tiba-tiba kereta hadapan menekan brek, anda akan ada masa yang mencukupi untuk bertindak dan menghentikan kereta anda sebelum apa-apa terjadi. Seperti yang kami katakan, risiko untuk kemalangan berlaku semasa hujan lebih tinggi jadi anda haruslah menjaga jarak selamat semasa memandu.\u00a0\n\n\nElakkan Guna Kawalan Pandu (Cruise Control)\n\n\n\n\nKawalan Pandu (Cruise Control) merupakan fungsi pemanduan yang sepatutnya hanya digunakan ketika jalan kering kerana jika digunakan semasa hujan, anda berisiko untuk hilang kawalan semasa memandu.\n\n\nKawalan Pandu membolehkan kereta anda dipandu pada kelajuan tetap, tapi ketika hujan, susah untuk anda memperlahankan kereta anda yang boleh membuatkan keadaan jadi lagi buruk. Kereta anda juga akan memecut jika ia menyatah air ketika anda mengaktifkan fungsi Kawalan Pandu dan ini akan membahayakan nyawa anda sebagai pemandu.\u00a0\n\n\nTenang Jika Satah Air (Aquaplane) Berlaku\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSatah air (aquaplane) terjadi apabila satu lapisan air terbina di antara tayar dan permukaan jalan yang membolehkan anda kehilangan kawalan ketika memandu. Ketika satah air terjadi, anda boleh perasan apabila stereng anda terasa ringan dan tidak responsif dan anda akan dengar bunyi air memasuki ruang tayar kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\nJika ini terjadi, anda perlu kekal tenang dan cuba untuk tidak menekan \nbrek\n \nkerana ia akan menyebabkan kereta anda menggelincir. Apa yang perlu anda buat adalah alihkan kaki daripada pedal minyak dan biarkan kereta anda perlahan dengan sendiri sehingga tayar menyentuh jalan kembali. Anda kemudiannya boleh menekan brek dengan perlahan-lahan dan membetulkan kedudukan kenderaan anda.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nTekanan Angin Tayar Kereta, Cara Isi Angin Tayar Kereta dengan Betul\n\n\n\n\nIni adalah beberapa tips untuk kekal selamat semasa memandu di dalam hujan. Tips yang paling berkesan adalah sentiasa memandu dengan cermat di atas jalan, tak kiralah sama ada cuaca hujan atau panas. Kami di CARSOME ingin anda sentiasa fokus ketika memandu supaya anda boleh sampai di destinasi dengan selamat. \n#CARSOMECares\u00a0\n\n", "Tags\nhujan\nkemalangan\nkereta\nmonsun\nmusim hujan di Malaysia", "Amarnath", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

From the three main types of coverage, selection of value, added services, and special perils, insurance companies provide additional options to the policy to help include coverage to areas that are not part of the standard plan. But what are the optional plans? Read on as we cover several choices that you might not know of, but could come in handy.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWindscreens, windows or sunroof\n\n\n\n\nThere is a high probability that you know an owner that has encountered a stone chip on their vehicle while driving on the road. Whether the incident cracked the windscreen, this additional premium extends the coverage to all exterior glass on a vehicle. This includes the front and rear windscreen, side window glasses, sunroof and even the cost of any tint or security film that you have applied on the glass. The add-on only costs 15% of the insured windscreen value but is an excellent addition as it does not affect your No-Claims Discount when making a claim.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nFlood, typhoon, storm and landslides\n\n\n\n\nIt is natural to think your vehicle would be safe from floods and landslides. But with the torrential rain that Malaysia receives, you will be better off ticking this (part of the \u2018special perils\u2019 section) the next time you renew your motor insurance. Water damage is not a cheap fix and could cost you a significant sum especially if it involves mechanical parts. However, this add-on only costs 0.5% of the premium. So, if the vehicle is insured for RM70,000, this will only set you back by RM350.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAccessories fixed to your vehicle\n\n\n\n\nWhether it is an expensive sound system, high-end rims and infotainment units, these items are not insured by your standard insurance plans. However, you can get these accessories insured with an add-on that will cost 15% of your annual coverage. While it may not seem like much, if you insure these items for RM10,000, the premium will set you back an additional RM1,500. It is best to check with the insurance provider on what is included, as it will be easier to decide on if it is worth adding.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nStrike, riot and civil commotion\n\n\n\n\nStrike, riot and civil commotion rarely occur in Malaysia, especially in tourist spots in the city. Your vehicle should be safe unless it is parked in open space, by the roadside, in a dark alley or amidst a planned protest. Despite costing only 0.3% of the insured sum, this option is seldom chosen unless you think it is necessary. To be on the safe side, be wary of where you park your car next.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nLegal liability to and of passengers\n\n\n\n\nLegal liability \nto a passenger\n comes into view when your passenger decides to take legal action on you for causing damage to their property or injury to a loved one. For example, accidentally driving into a gated home and colliding with the passenger\u2019s mother. While the former is less likely to happen, the legal liability add-on \ncoverage of a passenger\n extends to them should they have an accident that involves a pedestrian, cyclist or motorcyclist \u2013 such as opening the car door that accidentally injures the passers-by.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBetterment charges waiver\n\n\nThis only applies to a vehicle that is up to 15 years old. The older the vehicle, the betterment rates will be higher. Should the third party be fully liable for causing the accident, he or she will not be responsible for the ageing and depreciating value of the car. In practice, non-moving parts of a car such as the car door, bonnet, mud guard or boot cover, depending on the condition, will be repaired instead of replaced.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRead below for more stories!\n\n\nWhat is an Agreed vs Market Value in car insurance? \nRead here to find out\n!\n\n\nBefore you sell your car, you will need a \nPuspakom B5 report\n.

Sekarang ia bukan sekadar mimpi kerana ia akan menjadi kenyataan apabila projek sistem pembayaran terbuka di plaza tol akan beroperasi tak lama lagi!\u00a0\n\n\nPihak Kementerian Kerja Raya telah mengusahakan inisiatif agar pihak konsesi tol dan lebuh raya untuk menambahkan sistem pembayaran terbuka bagi kemudahan pengguna jalan raya.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nAkhirnya Selepas 20 Tahun!

Pembayaran terbuka ini menawarkan pilihan kepada pengguna jalan raya untuk mengguna cara pembayaran lain bagi melalui tol. Kalau sebelum ini, ada dua bentuk pembayaran saja diterima iaitu secara tunai ataupun menggunakan kad Touch n\u2019 Go. Dengan sistem pembayaran ini, bayaran menggunakan kad debit dan kredit juga akan diterima bagi bayaran di plaza tol.\n\n\n\n\nSebelum ini, kami ada menjangkakan projek sistem pembayaran terbuka ini akan diperkenalkan di plaza tol \nlebuh raya\n tertentu menjelang September 2023.

Adakah ini bermakna ramai yang akan menggunakan kad debit dan kredit untuk membayar tol?\u00a0\n\n\nPada pendapat kami, anda boleh gunakan apa saja bentuk pembayaran yang anda mahu tetapi tak salah kan kalau anda ada \u2018\nback up\n\u2019 andai kata salah satunya tak berfungsi. Katakanlah anda lebih suka gunakan kad debit dan kredit, jadikanlah Touch n\u2019 Go itu sebagai alternatif sekiranya ada kecemasan berlaku seperti kehilangan kad bank. Dan juga sebaliknya.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nApa pun, ini merupakan perkembangan terbaik bagi pengguna jalan raya pada tahun ini setelah bertahun-tahun terpaksa bersabar dengan pilihan pembayaran yang terhad. Ini akan mewujudkan persaingan yang sihat antara penyedia kemudahan untuk berlumba-lumba menyediakan manfaat yang terbaik bagi pengguna jalan raya.\u00a0\n\n\nPada akhirnya, anda sebagai pengguna jalan raya juga akan memperoleh macam-macam manfaat nanti!\n\n\nApa pendapat anda?

Apa Tu?\n\n\nPenceroboh tol merujuk kepada pemandu yang menggunakan lebuh raya tanpa membayar tol yang telah dikenakan ke atas kenderaan mereka.\u00a0\n\n\nWalaupun sebelum ini ada banyak rakaman dashcam mengenai kejadian pencerobohan tol yang tular, kita jarang mendengar jika ada sebarang tindakan yang diambil ke atas mereka.\n\n\nSumber: \nChannel Youtube mypromoMY\n\n\nDi sini kami ingin menjelaskan lebih lanjut tentang cara untuk kenal pasti jika anda sedang berhadapan dengan penceroboh tol, macam mana nak laporkan penceroboh tol kepada pihak yang berwajib, dan apa hukuman yang bakal diterima oleh penceroboh tol.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nKadar Bayaran Tol Malaysia 2021: Kadar Tol PLUS, Kadar Tol LPT dan Cara Semak Kadar Tol\n\n\nCara Nak Kenal Pasti Penceroboh Tol\n\n\nAda beberapa cara untuk kenal pasti kalau anda sedang diekori penceroboh tol semasa melalui plaza tol.\n\n\nCucuk Rapat Sangat\n\n\nSumber: \nChannel Youtube Ragam Pengguna Jalan Raya\n\n\nBila nak lalu plaza tol, cuba perhatikan kenderaan di belakang anda. Kalau kenderaan tersebut mengikut belakang kereta anda dengan terlampau rapat, besar kemungkinan pemandu tu sedang cuba nak elak daripada membayar tol.\u00a0\n\n\nPecut Laju Semasa Keluar Tol\n\n\nSelain daripada mencucuk rapat, penceroboh tol juga akan memecut laju semasa keluar daripada plaza tol. Selalunya palang tol akan mengambil sedikit masa sebelum diturunkan, ini kerana ia mempunyai sensor yang akan memberitahu palang untuk turun sepenuhnya hanya selepas sesebuah objek melepasi tol tersebut.\n\n\nSumber: \nChannel Youtube Viral Entertainment 2018\n\n\nApabila pemandu di belakang mengekori dengan rapat sambil memecut laju, sensor palang akan menganggap bahawa ada satu objek yang sedang melalui tol, dan ini memberi peluang kepada penceroboh tol untuk lolos dari plaza tol tanpa perlu membayar tol.\n\n\nApa Perlu Buat Bila Jumpa Penceroboh Tol\n\n\nHubungi Pihak Lebuh Raya\n\n\nJika anda terserempak penceroboh tol di plaza tol atau pernah menjadi mangsa mereka, anda disarankan untuk menghubungi pihak lebuh raya untuk melaporkan kejadian tersebut.\n\n\nAnda boleh mendapatkan nombor-nombor bagi lebuh raya yang berkenaan di laman web Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia di \nsini\n.\n\n\n\n\nUntuk membuat laporan, anda perlu memberikan butiran berikut bagi membantu semakan oleh pihak lebuh raya:\n\n\n\n\nNombor pendaftaran kereta\n\n\nMasa\n\n\nTarikh\u00a0\n\n\nLokasi\n\n\n\n\nHantar Rakaman Dashcam\n\n\nLebih senang kalau nak buat laporan mengenai penceroboh tol kalau anda ada pasang dashcam di dalam kereta.

Muka merah. Lesu yang teramat sangat. Semua ini juga merupakan salah satu tanda bahawa kita semua tak tahan dengan gelombang musim panas. Kesudahannya, kita akan pasang kuat-kuat \npendingin hawa\n kereta apabila anda masuk ke dalam kereta tapi itu bukanlah perkara yang bagus untuk pendingin hawa kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\nLebih kurang seperti badan kita sendiri, bangun saja daripada tidur terus buat tekan tubi 50 kali takkan membawa manfaat kepada badan anda. Samalah juga dengan hidupkan pendingin hawa sekuat-kuatnya apabila anda masuk ke dalam kereta yang berjam-jam diparkir di bawah panas matahari.\u00a0\n\n\nKita akan telusuri beberapa petua asas untuk memastikan pendingin hawa kereta anda boleh kekal sejuk, sesejuk kutub selatan untuk tempoh masa yang lama.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n1. Servis\u00a0\n\n\nSama seperti enjin kereta anda, servis untuk sistem penghawa dingin kereta tak boleh diabaikan. Ia perlu diselenggara dan arahan \npenyelenggaraan\n akan dicatatkan dalam manual kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nMalah, pemeriksaan tahunan oleh \npusat servis kereta bertauliah\n atau pakar pendingin hawa lain sangat digalakkan. Kalau kita abaikan ini, maka akan timbul macam-macam masalah dengan pendingin hawa kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSemua komponen dalam sistem pendingin hawa terdedah kepada haus dan lusuh maka penyelenggaraan berkala adalah perlu walaupun pendingin hawa masih sejuk.\u00a0\n\n\nAntara penyelenggaraan yang biasa adalah menukar cecair penyejuk, menyelenggara pemampat udara dan menukar penapis kabin menurut senarai penyelenggaraan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPada masa yang sama, minta juga juruteknik untuk lakukan ini:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMelaraskan tali pemacu dan takal.\u00a0\n\n\nMemeriksa untuk sebarang kebocoran pada saluran, hos, dan komponen\u00a0\n\n\nMembersihkan sirip \npemeluwap (\ncondenser\n)\n\n\nNyahbau dan bersihkan sistem pendingin hawa\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Letak Kereta Di Tempat Yang Teduh\u00a0\n\n\nCara yang paling mudah untuk sejukkan ruang kereta adalah untuk pastikan kereta tak panas dahulu. Ya, cakap saja memang senang tapi kalau boleh dan ada peluang, carilah parkir yang teduh dan bertutup.\u00a0\n\n\nMenghalang cahaya matahari kepada permukaan cermin boleh mengelakkan ruang kereta menjadi panas dan terasa seperti sauna ketika anda memasuki kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKalau anda tak berjaya dapatkan tempat yang teduh, anda boleh beli peredup. Kami dah rasa keberkesanan peredup dan anda pun wajib beli. Tambahan lagi, kalau tingkap kereta anda ada visor, anda boleh biarkan sedikit ruang terbuka untuk membolehkan udara panas keluar tanpa bimbang tempias air hujan masuk ke dalam.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n3. Keluarkan Udara Panas Sebelum Pasang Pendingin Hawa\u00a0\n\n\nKatakanlah anda gagal cari tempat teduh dan terpaksa parkir juga di bawah panas untuk beberapa jam, tolong tahan diri dan jangan hidupkan pendingin hawa sekuat-kuatnya apabila anda hidupkan kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nApa yang boleh anda buat, alihkan udara panas dalam ruang kereta untuk keluarkan sebanyak mana udara panas yang boleh. Cara yang paling cepat adalah dengan menurunkan tingkap penumpang hadapan sebelum membuka dan menutup pintu bahagian pemandu dengan tingkap tertutup beberapa kali. Ini akan menolak udara panas dengan cepat.\u00a0\n\n\nAtau, kalau anda tak ada masa untuk berbuat demikian, anda boleh buka tingkap dan pandu dulu untuk sekejap sebelum menghidupkan pendingin hawa.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n4. Jangan Pasang Aircond Kuat Sangat!\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nApabila dah keluarkan sedikit udara panas daripada dalam kereta, masa untuk hidupkan pendingin hawa tapi setkan pada kelajuan rendah dan hidupkan mod \u201caircond fresh\u201d (butang mod \u2018Fresh ada di bawah).\n\n\n\n\nSuhu dalam kereta masih lagi panas jadi hidupkan mod \u201cfresh\u201d akan mengalirkan udara sejuk dari luar masuk ke dalam. Tambahan lagi, pendingin hawa akan berfungsi dengan lebih baik semasa anda memandu kerana pemampat udara akan berfungsi dengan lebih laju dengan kelajuan putaran enjin.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda dah rasa udara yang keluar daripada saluran ialah lebih sejuk, tukar pula kepada mod \u2018recirculate\u2019 (gambar seperti bawah) bagi membolehkan pendingin hawa menyebarkan semula udara sejuk di dalam kereta melalui pengering/penerima supaya udara sejuk disalurkan kembali ke dalam kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDengan membiarkan ruang dalaman kereta menjadi sejuk secara semula jadi sebelum menghidupkan pendingin hawa, setiap komponen dalam sistem ini akan berfungsi pada kadar yang lebih perlahan dan membolehkan ia tahan lebih lama.\u00a0\n\n\nDiharapkan petua ini boleh dimanfaat supaya pendingin hawa kereta anda boleh bertahan lama tanpa kerosakan yang serius.\u00a0\n\n\n*Artikel ini merupakan terjemahan daripada artikel \u201cHow to keep your air-conditioning as cool as a cucumber in this heatwave?\u201d yang diterbitkan di laman \nWapcar\n.\n\n", "Ahmad Azwadie Azman", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Semestinya, dengan kekerapan hujan turun ketika ini, kita pasti akan mengalami keadaan jalan raya yang basah dan licin apabila sedang memandu.\n\n\nDalam tempoh ini, penyelenggaraan kereta dan keselamatan pemandu perlu diperhatikan dengan lebih teliti. Anda perlu lebih rajin sedikit dalam usaha menyelenggara kereta anda, serta memberi lebih perhatian apabila memandu di jalan raya untuk sampai ke destinasi dengan selamat.\n\n\nBerikut adalah beberapa tip mudah yang boleh anda ikuti untuk menjaga dan memandu kereta dengan baik dan selamat semasa musim hujan.\n\n\n\n\nMenjaga Kereta Anda Semasa Musim Hujan\n\n\nLetak Kereta Di Kawasan Berbumbung\n\n\nAir adalah musuh ketat bagi kereta anda. Ia boleh menghakis logam, merosakkan getah pengedap, dan juga menyebabkan berlakunya kebocoran. Meletakkan kereta anda di luar menyebabkan ia terdedah kepada hujan, yang akan mengakibatkan bahagian dan komponen kereta anda lebih cepat lusuh dan rosak.\n\n\nOleh itu, letakkanlah kereta anda di tempat letak kereta yang berbumbung kalau boleh. Sama ada di kawasan letak kereta di anjung rumah anda atau di tempat letak kereta bawah tanah, pastikan kereta anda sentiasa kering dan tidak terdedah kepada hujan.\n\n\nJaga Tayar Anda\n\n\nTayar anda memainkan peranan penting semasa memandu di jalan raya, lebih-lebih lagi dalam keadaan hujan. Ia membolehkan anda mengambil selekoh dengan selamat atau boleh mengakibatkan kemalangan jika tidak dijaga.\n\n\nDalam keadaan jalan yang basah, bunga tayar anda berfungsi untuk menyesarkan air bagi membolehkan tayar anda mencengkam permukaan jalan raya dengan lebih baik. Jika tayar anda haus, cengkaman tayar akan berkurangan dengan ketara. Oleh itu, anda perlu sentiasa memeriksa keadaan bunga tayar dan memastikan tekanan angin tayar anda mengikut spesifikasi pengedar.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nTekanan Angin Tayar Kereta, Cara Isi Angin Tayar Kereta dengan Betul\n\n\nPeriksa Pengelap Cermin Depan Anda\n\n\nTanpa pengelap cermin depan, anda tidak akan dapat memandu kereta dengan baik dalam keadaan hujan ribut. Jadi adalah sangat penting untuk memastikan ia boleh berfungsi dengan baik. Pengelap cermin depan anda harus dapat mengelap air hujan dengan rata tanpa sebarang bunyi berdecit. Jika tidak, ia perlu diganti.\n\n\nSemasa memeriksa pengelap cermin, anda juga boleh mengambil peluang ini untuk memastikan cermin tingkap anda bersih. Cermin tingkap yang bersih dapat membantu anda untuk mendapatkan jarak penglihatan yang maksimum apabila memandu semasa hujan.\n\n\nBersihkan Dan Lindungi Kereta Anda\n\n\nMembersihkan kereta anda bukan sahaja membuatkannya kelihatan lebih cantik, malah ia juga membantu memanjangkan hayat cat kereta anda. Cat kereta anda bukan hanya sekadar hiasan \u2013 ia juga berfungsi sebagai lapisan perlindungan bagi bahagian logam di bawahnya.\n\n\nMalangnya, cuaca basah boleh merosakkan cat kereta anda. Untuk mengelakkannya, anda boleh mengenakan lapisan lilin pelindung pada kereta anda. Lapisan lilin ini akan bertindak sebagai penghalau air, yang akan menghalang air hujan dan lumpur daripada menghakis cat kereta anda. Ini bukan sahaja dapat membantu mengelakkan hakisan, malah ia juga akan membantu kereta anda mengekalkan kilauan seperti baharu.\n\n\nPeriksa Bateri Kereta\n\n\nMemandu semasa hujan akan menyebabkan bateri kereta anda lebih cepat habis. Cuaca lembap juga boleh menyebabkan hakisan pada terminal bateri dan boleh memendekkan jangka hayat bateri.\n\n\nBeri perhatian terhadap tanda-tanda seperti lampu yang malap, kesukaran menghidupkan kereta, dan seumpamanya kerana ia menunjukkan yang bateri anda mungkin kekurangan cas. Anda juga perlu memberi lebih perhatian terhadap sebarang isu-isu elektrikal semasa musim hujan kerana air boleh merosakkan sistem pendawaian kereta.\n\n\n\n\nMemandu Dengan Selamat Semasa Musim Hujan\n\n\nPastikan Lampu Anda Dihidupkan\n\n\nMenghidupkan lampu kereta semasa hujan lebat bukan sahaja dapat membantu anda semasa memandu, ia juga memudahkan pemandu lain untuk melihat anda. Ingat, jika anda perlu menghidupkan pengelap cermin kereta anda, lampu anda juga perlu dihidupkan.\n\n\nSila jangan hidupkan lampu kecemasan semasa memandu dalam hujan. Lampu kecemasan hanya boleh digunakan jika kereta anda tidak bergerak. Menghidupkannya semasa memandu dalam hujan akan mengelirukan pemandu lain dan mungkin boleh mengakibatkan kemalangan.\n\n\nPandu Perlahan\n\n\nSemasa hujan, anda perlulah memandu dengan perlahan agar dapat sampai ke destinasi dengan selamat. Dengan mengurangkan kelajuan, anda akan mempunyai masa untuk bertindak balas terhadap apa-apa yang berlaku di sekeliling anda, di samping dapat memberi perhatian terhadap pemandu lain di sekeliling anda. Jarak membrek juga akan bertambah dalam keadaan jalan basah, jadi memperlahankan kereta anda adalah sangat penting agar anda boleh berhenti dengan selamat.\n\n\nPandu Dalam Keadaan Tenang\n\n\nTak kira betapa lebatnya hujan, anda perlu berada dalam keadaan tenang dan stabil ketika memandu. Kebimbangan boleh menyebabkan pemanduan anda menjadi tidak menentu dan juga pergerakan yang mengejut, yang boleh menyebabkan kereta anda berpusing di luar kawalan. Berhenti di tepi jalan juga sangat merbahaya, kerana jarak penglihatan dan cengkaman jalan yang berkurangan akan meningkatkan peluang untuk kereta yang berhenti dilangar oleh kereta lain.\n\n\nBeri Tumpuan Sepenuhnya Pada Pemanduan\n\n\nDalam keadaan biasa, anda harus fokus sepenuhnya pada jalan raya. Apabila hujan, anda harusmemberikan\u00a0 fokus sehingga 110% semasa memandu. Jangan lupa untuk tinggalkan ruang yang secukupnya antara anda dan pemandu lain sentiasa bersiap sedia untuk menghadapi apa jua perkara.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nKereta Tenggelam Banjir?

Considering the brand already has the CX-3, CX-5, CX-8, CX-9 and CX-4 on the way, we think the brand has placed more focus into these vehicles and placed their sedans on a slight hold. Considering that their current flagship 6 has been around since 2012, the 6 has been facelifted twice, with this being the most recent in August 2018.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe first facelift in 2015 saw a minor nip and tuck on the exterior, but it was the interior that took the update to the current and simplistic layout on the brand\u2019s latest cars. As for the latest, the exterior does have a sharper look. The new front grille is deeper set with a new mesh which provides a more characteristic stance. The chrome surround now cradles the front headlamps and can also be seen at the rear tail lamps, where the central chrome unit now merges into the lamps as opposed to above it.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nInside the cabin is all-new, with only the steering wheel and small trim pieces carried over from the 2015 facelift. The highlight here has to be the horizontally stretched dashboard which has been simplified in Mazda\u2019s own way. In fact, we like the minimalist centre console in line with their current layout, which features the 8-inch MZD Connect Infotainment System with Navigation, climate control and CD player slot followed by the gear shifter, electric parking brake switch, and the commander control unit. What\u2019s missing in the 2.2-Diesel we reviewed is the Sport Mode drive selection switch, only available on the petrol powered range.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe sole diesel sedan variant locally is specified just the same as the 2.5-litre sedan and touring models. Here the full feature list includes Cruise Control, Paddle Shifters, Active Driving Display, 360 View Monitor, 11-speaker Bose Sound System, the i-Activsense Safety Suite which has Lane Departure Warning System, Lane Keep Assist System, Driver Attention Alert, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Front and Rear Smart City Brake Support as the highlights.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat we\u2019re especially thrilled about comes down to a few things. First has to be Mazda\u2019s Skyactiv-D diesel engine that has a compression ratio that\u2019s almost as low as their petrol engines. This is the reason why the brand\u2019s diesels are one of the cleanest globally, even meeting strict Euro 6 standards. Here the diesel engine outputs 188 hp and 450 Nm of torque at 2,000 rpm. Fuel consumption has been rated officially at 5.2-litres/ 100 km and combined CO2 emissions at 133 g/km.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to driving impressions, the diesel really pulls away, and thanks to the automatic transmission, does the rowing smooth as you go along. Sound insulation within the cabin is quiet as with all current Mazda\u2019s but due to its diesel nature, you\u2019ll hear it when the windows are down. The brand as with the improvements have also nailed in the driving position, with the feel and confident chassis set-up the highlight of the experience. It is very manoeuvrable and precise for a vehicle of its size, largely assisted by the presence of GVC and does best to keep its composure at its comfort setting.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nGeneral convenience comes second, and the inclusion of a Head-up Display is one that puts the focus on the road. The list of displayed information includes a Current Speed Limit with Warning, BLIS with Lane Departure Warning, Navigation with Approach Indicator, Current speed, Cruise Control and Lane Keep Assist. For external convenience, we could not fathom why other manufacturers have not included Walk Away Lock as a standard feature.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nNow comes the part where we think needs improvement. The quality of the reverse and 360 cameras. Resolution is certainly lacking in the units, so much so it is difficult to see crisp details of what was around. That aside, it gets the job done. Furthermore, we also thought that the MZD Connect Infotainment System needs an update in interface. But seeing as the all-new 2019 Mazda 3 will come featured with the next gen system, it is only time that it\u2019ll get a fresh new look.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n\n\nSo how do we conclude? Mazda\u2019s latest 6 in Malaysia is still the best flagship sedan the brand has to offer here. Specification wise, it has everything a proper flagship sedan needs and more. We highly recommend the drive, the looks and the features. However, there is only one small problem, the price. Current prices for the 2.0, 2.5 and 2.2D sedan are RM 167,216, RM 204,724 and RM 213,427 respectively. In terms of complete features, the petrol 2.5-litre is identical to the 2.2 diesel, which we see would be the most logical choice for most buyers. Nonetheless, with Toyota\u2019s recent launch pricing for the new Camry at RM 189,900, the Mazda 6 is almost RM 15,000 more expensive and poses a tough competition despite having similar features between each other. Add in Volkswagen\u2019s Passat to the mix, and things become a little more hazy. What will consumers choose?\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWant to know what we think about the \nCX-5\n and \nMazda 3\n? Look no further!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nLife is short! Get that Mazda you\u2019ve always had your eye on!

As a new car owner, it is helpful to know the options and types of coverage that comes with your insurance policy. Below are some tips on the things to consider when purchasing your car insurance.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nTypes of Coverage\n\n\n\n\nThere are three types of car insurance plans (in ascending order): Third-Party Cover, Third-Party Fire and Theft Cover, and Comprehensive Cover. It is recommended that you choose a Comprehensive Cover that provides complete protection including coverage for bodily injuries and in the event of death, damage to third parties\u2019 properties, accidental or fire damages to your car and even vehicle theft. Should you have an older vehicle, you can opt for a Third Party coverage and if you happen to own a vintage or classic car that you only drive on weekends, you can go for a Third Party, Fire and Theft policy.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAlways choose Agreed Value\n\n\n\n\nIt is common to have your car insurance premium to be determined by the estimated market value. However, in a partially de-tariffed environment, it could also be determined by age and location. When selecting the value of your vehicle, it is better to choose the Agreed Value. By doing so, it alleviates hassle to the policyholder during a claim as it ensures the vehicle\u2019s value isn\u2019t under or over-insured.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhat are Special Perils?\n\n\n\n\nThese are known add-ons that cover situations like floods, landslides, storms and more. While it is common to assume that you don\u2019t live in a flood-prone area, sometimes it is better to be safe than sorry. It is good to survey the market and go for the better plans that sometimes provide special offers. You should also consider adding a windshield cover to your policy.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAdded Services?\n\n\nAn excellent added service is the free-of-charge motor accident assistance that comes with the insurance purchase. The support may include first response units, towing assistance, vouchers, and even vehicle delivery.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRead below for more stories!\n\n\nWhat is an Agreed vs Market Value in car insurance? \nRead here to find out\n!\n\n\nBefore you sell your car, you will need a \nPuspakom B5 report\n. Do you know what it is?\n\n\nIf you are looking for a premium 7-seater SUV in Malaysia, \nfind out more about the latest Hyundai Santa Fe\n.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nLooking to sell your car with a service that is professional, convenient and fast?

Pada 2017, seorang tenaga pengajar \nKolej Vokasional Besut\n \nmaut selepas kereta yang dinaiki terjunam ke dalam parit dan mangsa disyaki lemas kerana terperangkap di dalam kereta. Selain itu, pada 2019, sebuah kenderaan SUV Mazda CX-5 terhumban ke dalam laut di \nJambatan Pulau Pinang\n. Malah, lebih memilukan mangsa masih berada di tempat duduk pemandu dan memakai tali pinggang keledar semasa dijumpai.\n\n\n\n\nSudah semestinya, tiada sesiapa pun yang mahu terperangkap atau berada dalam situasi sebegini apatah lagi sehingga boleh meragut nyawa. Malah, mungkin ramai yang tidak mengetahui perkara yang perlu dilakukan sekiranya anda berada dalam situasi sebegini. Ikuti 3 tip yang \nCarsome\n kongsikan di bawah untuk panduan anda.\n\n\nPanduan Keselamatan Jika Kereta Terjunam ke Dalam Air\n\n\nBerikut merupakan tip yang boleh membantu anda sekiranya kereta anda terjunam ke dalam air:\n\n\n1. Jangan Panik\n\n\nMasa dan kecekapan anda untuk bertindak adalah kunci untuk selamat sekiranya anda berada dalam situasi sebegini. Kereta yang terjunam ke dalam air tidak kira sama ada laut, tasik atau pun sungai mengambil masa untuk tenggelam dan tidak akan tenggelam serta-merta. Kekal tenang \u2013 ia memberi anda ruang untuk berfikir dan bertindak untuk menyelamatkan diri.\n\n\n2. Tanggalkan Tali Pinggang Keledar, Buka Tingkap\n\n\nJangan buka pintu kereta anda. Ia akan menyebabkan lebih banyak air masuk ke dalam kereta dan menyebabkan kereta anda tenggelam dengan lebih cepat. Sebaliknya, buka tingkap, tanggalkan tali pinggang keledar dan keluar dari kereta anda secepat mungkin. Jika anda lambat bertindak, tekanan air akan menyebabkan tingkap dan pintu anda tidak boleh dibuka dan anda perlu memecahkan cermin kereta untuk keluar. Namun begitu, anda tidak disarankan untuk memecahkan cermin hadapan kerana cermin hadapan dicipta untuk menahan impak dan tekanan \u2013 sukar untuk dipecahkan dan memakan masa.\n\n\nSebaliknya, pecahkan cermin di bahagian sebelah pemandu atau penumpang. Gunakan kaki anda untuk menendang di bahagian atas cermin atau anda juga boleh tanggalkan\n headrest\n\u00a0daripada tempat duduk anda dan ketuk di bahagian ruang antara cermin dan pintu. Anda juga boleh menggunakan \nsteering lock\n atau \ntukul cermin pelbagai fungsi\n \n(jika ada) untuk memecahkan tingkap. Aksesori ini boleh didapati secara dalam talian atau di mana-mana kedai aksesori.\n\n\n\n\nAksesori seperti ini sangat berguna ketika kecemasan. Ia boleh disimpan di bahagian kompartmen hadapan kereta anda. Malah, dalam kes tertentu sekiranya tali pinggang keledar anda tersangkut dan tidak boleh ditanggalkan, alatan ini juga boleh digunakan untuk memotong tali pinggang keledar.\n\n\n3. Keluar dari Kereta Secepat Mungkin\n\n\nSelepas pecahkan cermin, tarik nafas sedalam-dalamnya dan berenang keluar ke kawasan yang selamat. Sekiranya anda bingung dan tidak tahu arah yang perlu dituju, cari buih atau gelembung udara dan ikut arah gelembung tersebut.\n\n\nPerkara Yang Perlu Dielakkan Ketika Kenderaan Sedang Tenggelam\n\n\n\n\nJangan gunakan telefon bimbit untuk membuat panggilan kecemasan. Ini merupakan kesilapan yang biasa dilakukan semasa berada dalam situasi sebegini. Malangnya, ini bukanlah masa yang sesuai untuk membuat panggilan kecemasan kerana pasukan kecemasan mungkin mengambil masa yang agak lama untuk tiba ke lokasi kejadian sekali gus meningkatkan risiko kecelakaan kepada anda. Menurut kajian, anda hanya ada 30 hingga 60 saat sahaja untuk menyelamatkan diri dari kenderaan yang sedang tenggelam.\n\n\nJangan buka pintu kereta anda. Arus air akan masuk dengan lebih cepat ke dalam kereta sekali gus menyebabkan kereta anda tenggelam dengan lebih cepat. Malah, arus air yang lebih deras yang memasuki ruang kabin kereta juga akan menyukarkan anda untuk keluar dari kereta. Sebaliknya, buka tingkap dan segera keluar.\n\n\nJangan tunggu kereta tenggelam sepenuhnya (untuk menyamakan tekanan air di bahagian dalam dan luar kereta). Ia merupakan salah faham yang perlu dielakkan kerana di saat tekanan air di bahagian dalam dan luar kereta adalah sama, ia mungkin sudah terlewat dan terlambat untuk menyelamatkan diri. Malah, rasa panik secara tidak langsung memendekkan masa anda menahan nafas di dalam air.\n\n\n\n\nWindow of Opportunity\n | 30-60 Saat untuk Keluar dari Kereta yang Tenggelam\n\n\nBerdasarkan ujian keselamatan yang dilakukan oleh sekumpulan penganalisis, purata masa yang diperlukan oleh seseorang yang berada di dalam kenderaan yang sedang tenggelam untuk menyelamatkan diri ialah antara 30 hingga 60 saat.\n\n\n\n\nBuka tali pinggang keledar;\n\n\nTurunkan tingkap;\n\n\nKeluar dari kenderaan.\n\n\n\n\nMelalui ujian yang dilakukan menggunakan sebuah kenderaan dengan empat orang penumpang termasuk pemandu, masa yang diambil untuk kesemua penumpang menyelamatkan diri adalah kira-kira 20 saat selepas \u2018bertarung\u2019 dengan arus deras yang masuk melalui tingkap kereta.\n\n\n\n\nKereta dengan Penumpang | Apa yang Perlu Dilakukan dan Siapa yang Perlu Diselamatkan?\n\n\nMenyelamatkan diri sendiri dari kenderaan yang sedang tenggelam amatlah sukar, apatah lagi jika ia turut melibatkan penumpang yang lain. Perkara pertama yang boleh anda lakukan jika berada dalam situasi sebegini ialah pastikan penumpang kekal tenang, terkawal dan terangkan kepada mereka perkara yang perlu dilakukan. Jika kenderaan anda mempunyai penumpang kanak-kanak, selamatkan kanak-kanak yang paling tua terlebih dahulu dahulu diikuti dengan kanak-kanak paling muda. Prosedur ini dapat meningkatkan peluang untuk selamat bagi kesemua penumpang dalam kereta. Jika ada anak kecil, tarik mereka ke hadapan dan tolak keluar melalui tingkap hadapan diikuti oleh anda.\n\n\nTeori dan cara yang disenaraikan mungkin tidak semudah yang disangka terutamanya jika kita berada dalam situasi kecemasan. Namun begitu, tindakan yang betul pada masa yang sesuai mungkin boleh menyelamatkan nyawa anda dan orang tersayang. Kekal selamat dan pastikan anda dan kenderaan anda berada dalam keadaan baik terutamanya semasa musim hujan dan banjir ini.\n\n", "Carsome Author", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Pastikan anda mempunyai dokumen-dokumen yang diperlukan seperti penyata bank, penyata gaji, penyata KWSP dan lain-lain sebelum memohon pinjaman.\n\n\nFaktor-faktor seperti gaji bulanan, tempoh perkhidmatan, dan rekod kredit akan dipertimbangkan semasa menilai kelayakan pinjaman. Apabila anda menilai kelayakan pinjaman dengan bijak, anda dapat memaksimumkan peluang kelulusan serta mendapatkan pinjaman dengan kadar faedah yang terbaik.\n\n\n3. Membuat Perbandingan Antara Institusi Kewangan\n\n\nSekarang ini, terdapat pelbagai institusi kewangan yang menawarkan pinjaman kereta. Jadi, jangan terburu-buru membuat keputusan! Lakukan penyelidikan menyeluruh dan bandingkan tawaran pinjaman daripada beberapa bank atau institusi kewangan.\n\n\nPertimbangkan kadar faedah, yuran pengendalian, dan syarat-syarat pinjaman sebelum membuat keputusan akhir. Banyak bank juga menawarkan \nkalkulator pinjaman kereta\n dalam talian yang memudahkan anda untuk mengira ansuran bulanan dan jumlah keseluruhan yang perlu anda bayar.\n\n\nDengan membuat perbandingan yang teliti, anda dapat memilih pinjaman kereta yang menawarkan syarat-syarat terbaik dan menjimatkan kos secara keseluruhan.\n\n\n4. Pilih Pinjaman Kereta Dengan Kadar Faedah Terendah\n\n\nKadar faedah (seperti kadar faedah tetap, boleh ubah, rata) secara tidak langsung mempengaruhi kos keseluruhan pinjaman anda. Oleh sebab itu, anda dinasihatkan untuk memilih pinjaman kereta yang menawarkan kadar faedah pinjaman kereta terendah.\n\n\nKadar faedah rata atau flat interest rate merupakan kadar faedah yang biasa digunakan untuk pinjaman peribadi atau pinjaman sewa beli (loan kereta). Secara amnya, kadar faedah rata dikira berdasarkan jumlah pinjaman pokok (jumlah asal pinjaman) sepanjang tempoh pinjaman. Berikut adalah formula pengiraan kadar faedah pinjaman kereta:\n\n\n\n\n(Jumlah Pinjaman Asal x Bilangan Tahun Pinjaman x Kadar Faedah Setahun) \u00f7 Bilangan Ansuran (Bulan) = Faedah Dibayar Setiap Bulan\n\n\n(RM50,000 x 5 x 7%) \u00f7 60 = RM292\n\n\n\n\n5. Kepentingan Pelan Bayaran Yang Bijak\n\n\nSemasa dalam proses mendapatkan pinjaman kereta, anda juga perlu mengambil kira pelan bayaran yang paling berkesan untuk anda.\n\n\nElakkan daripada terjebak dengan pinjaman jangka masa yang panjang sehingga sembilan tahun hanya kerana ansuran bulanan yang lebih rendah. Walaupun ansuran bulanan yang rendah boleh mengurangkan beban kewangan anda pada awalnya, tapi anda mungkin akan membayar lebih banyak faedah dalam jangka masa yang panjang.\n\n\nJadi, berfikirlah secara kritis tentang keupayaan kewangan anda dan cuba memilih jangka masa pinjaman yang sesuai. Mungkin sukar untuk memberikan jawapan yang tepat, tetapi jika anda merasa bahawa anda mampu membayar ansuran bulanan yang sedikit lebih tinggi, pilih jangka masa yang lebih pendek untuk menjimatkan jumlah faedah yang perlu anda bayar.\n\n\nIstilah Pinjaman Kereta Yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\nUntuk membantu anda memohon dan menguruskan pinjaman kereta dengan bijak, kami menyenaraikan beberapa istilah berkaitan yang biasa digunakan semasa urusan permohonan pinjaman seperti berikut agar anda tahu dengan lebih jelas apa itu loan kereta:\n\n\n1. Margin Pembiayaan Atau Margin of Financing\n\n\nMargin pembiayaan merujuk pada jumlah pinjaman yang dinyatakan sebagai peratusan daripada nilai keseluruhan kereta. Kebanyakan pinjaman kereta di Malaysia mempunyai \nmargin pembiayaan\n maksimum sebanyak 90 peratus dan memerlukan anda untuk membayar sekurang-kurangnya 10 peratus bayaran pendahuluan kepada penjual kereta.\n\n\nSebagai contoh, jika anda ingin mendapatkan kereta baharu yang berharga RM100,000, pihak bank akan bersetuju untuk meluluskan pinjaman sebanyak RM90,000 kepada peminjam (90 peratus X RM100,000).\n\n\nNamun begitu, ada sesetengah institusi kewangan yang turut menawarkan margin pembiayaan maksimum 100 peratus. Margin ini biasanya terhad kepada peminjam tertentu berdasarkan faktor-faktor semasa lain seperti pembelian kereta pertama dan sebagainya.\n\n\n2. Kadar Interest Pinjaman Kereta\n\n\nKadar interest pinjaman kereta biasanya dikenakan lebih tinggi untuk harga kereta yang lebih rendah manakala bagi kereta yang mahal harganya, kadar faedah yang lebih rendah akan dikenakan.\n\n\nSelain itu, kadar faedah juga berbeza berdasarkan kadar rujukan di setiap bank dengan mengambil kira faktor-faktor lain seperti jumlah dan tempoh pinjaman, sejarah kredit peminjam, serta usia kereta.\n\n\nKadar faedah pembiayaan untuk loan kereta baharu biasanya antara 2.3 peratus hingga 3.5 peratus. Manakala kadar faedah pembiayaan untuk loan kereta terpakai biasanya antara 3.5 peratus hingga 4.2 peratus.\n\n\n3. Penjamin Kereta Atau Guarantor Kereta\n\n\nSesetengah bank mungkin memerlukan penjamin atau guarantor untuk memohon pinjaman kereta, terutamanya jika anda memohon pinjaman untuk kali pertama, jumlah pinjaman yang dimohon agak tinggi, atau jika anda mempunyai rekod kredit yang tidak baik.\n\n\n\n\nPenjamin adalah seseorang yang akan bertanggungjawab untuk membayar balik pinjaman jika anda gagal untuk melakukannya. Pastikan anda memahami tanggungjawab dan komitmen yang terlibat jika memilih untuk menggunakan penjamin kereta.\n\n\nBerikut adalah syarat umum untuk menjadi penjamin kereta yang biasanya ditetapkan oleh pihak bank:\n\n\n\n\nBerusia 18 tahun ke atas;\n\n\nMemiliki keadaan mental yang stabil dan berkeupayaan untuk memahami tanggungjawab, dokumen penjamin, serta tanggungjawab sebagai penjamin;\n\n\nTidak dipaksa untuk menjadi penjamin \u2013 harus bersetuju secara sukarela tanpa paksaan, penipuan, atau kesilapan;\n\n\nTidak berstatus muflis.\n\n\n\n\nPerlu diingati bahawa walaupun penjamin anda memenuhi semua syarat ini, tidak bermakna bahawa pinjaman anda akan terus diluluskan. Pihak bank tetap akan menilai faktor-faktor tambahan lain seperti jumlah pendapatan, komitmen bulanan, rekod dan sejarah kredit, dan lain-lain.\n\n\n4. Tempoh Pinjaman & Bayaran Balik\n\n\nDi Malaysia, tempoh pembiayaan maksimum pinjaman kenderaan yang dibenarkan untuk kereta terpakai adalah selama tujuh atau sembilan tahun, bergantung kepada beberapa faktor-faktor seperti tahun buatan kereta dan jumlah pinjaman yang dimohon.\n\n\nManakala, tempoh pembiayaan maksimum untuk kereta baharu adalah selama sembilan tahun. Namun begitu, semakin lama tempoh pembiayaan, semakin tinggi kadar faedah yang perlu ditanggung. Ini bermaksud, anda terikat dengan kadar faedah pinjaman yang lebih tinggi dalam jangka masa panjang serta risiko-risiko lain seperti inflasi dan sebagainya.\n\n\nFaktor Mempengaruhi Kadar Interest Pinjaman Kereta\n\n\nKadar faedah adalah salah satu faktor penting yang perlu anda pertimbangkan sebelum memohon pinjaman kereta. Setiap bank mungkin akan menawarkan kadar faedah yang berbeza, berdasarkan jenis pinjaman yang anda pilih.\n\n\nSecara amnya, kadar faedah merujuk pada bayaran tambahan yang dikenakan terhadap amaun pinjaman bank sama ada untuk kereta baharu atau kereta terpakai. Kadar interest loan kereta biasanya berbeza bergantung pada perjanjian dan faktor-faktor lain seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\nModel Kereta:\n Nilai dan model kereta sama ada kereta second hand (kereta terpakai) atau kereta baharu boleh mempengaruhi kadar faedah pinjaman kereta anda. Kadar interest kereta terpakai biasanya sekitar tiga hingga lima peratus bergantung pada jenama dan harga.\n\n\nSkor dan Sejarah Kredit:\n Skor kredit merupakan faktor penentu kadar faedah pinjaman kereta anda. Skor dan sejarah kredit yang baik memberi keyakinan kepada pihak bank tentang kemampuan anda membayar balik pinjaman kereta tanpa sebarang masalah. Namun jika skor kredit lemah, bank biasanya menawarkan kadar interest pinjaman kereta yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\nStatus Kewangan:\n Ia merujuk pada pendapatan bulanan dan kemampuan anda untuk membayar balik pinjaman yang diluluskan oleh pihak bank. Sekiranya pendapatan bulanan anda tinggi, kadar interest pinjaman kereta biasanya lebih rendah. Jika sebaliknya, anda mungkin akan dikenakan kadar interest pinjaman kereta yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\nPolisi Bank:\n Sesetengah bank mungkin mengenakan peraturan dan polisi tambahan yang mungkin mempengaruhi kadar interest pinjaman kereta anda. Anda disarankan untuk membaca perjanjian dengan teliti atau bertanyakan pegawai bank anda untuk penjelasan lanjut.\n\n\nTempoh Pinjaman:\n Tempoh bayaran balik pinjaman secara amnya memberi kesan terhadap kadar interest yang dikenakan oleh pihak bank. Dalam erti kata lain, semakin panjang tempoh pinjaman anda, semakin tinggi kadar interest pinjaman kereta anda.\n\n\n\n\nPastikan anda membandingkan kadar faedah yang ditawarkan oleh beberapa bank sebelum membuat keputusan. Anda boleh menggunakan kalkulator pinjaman kereta dalam talian untuk membantu anda mengira jumlah ansuran bulanan dan jumlah keseluruhan yang perlu anda bayar semasa tempoh pinjaman.\n\n\nKelayakan Gaji Beli Kereta dan Syarat Loan Kereta\n\n\nBerikut merupakan antara syarat-syarat kelayakan yang perlu anda ikuti bagi memudahkan urusan permohonan pinjaman atau loan kereta idaman anda:\n\n\n1. Lesen Memandu\n\n\nLesen memandu merupakan antara syarat kelayakan minimum yang melayakkan anda untuk memohon pinjaman kenderaan. Namun begitu, institusi kewangan seperti Ambank atau Bank Rakyat membolehkan permohonan pinjaman kenderaan dilakukan tanpa lesen dengan syarat gaji pokok mestilah melebihi RM3,000.\n\n\n2. Kelayakan Gaji Beli Kereta\n\n\nSetiap bank mengenakan syarat gaji minimum yang berbeza untuk setiap permohonan pinjaman mengikut garis panduan yang ditetapkan. Bagi anda yang ingin memohon pinjaman untuk membeli kereta, anda mestilah berumur tidak kurang daripada 18 tahun dan tidak melebihi umur persaraan semasa tempoh pembiayaan tamat dengan gaji bulanan minimum sekurang-kurangnya RM1,500 dan ke atas.\n\n\n3. Penjamin Kereta atau Guarantor Kereta\n\n\nJika gaji anda kurang daripada syarat gaji minimum yang ditetapkan oleh pihak bank, penjamin atau guarantor kereta diperlukan untuk menyokong permohonan pinjaman kenderaan anda. Penjamin kereta mestilah dari kalangan ibu atau bapa atau pasangan (suami/isteri) yang bekerja dan gaji penjamin hendaklah melebihi RM2,000.\n\n\n4. Penyata Bank/Penyata KWSP atau EPF\n\n\nKedua-dua dokumen ini perlu untuk membuktikan pendapatan bulan pemohon selain melihat kemampuan pemohon untuk membayar balik pinjaman mengikut jadual seperti yang telah dipersetujui dalam perjanjian.\u00a0\n\n\n5. Skim Graduan\n\n\nSkim ini diperkenalkan khusus untuk graduan yang baru habis belajar atau baru mula bekerja dengan syarat umur mestilah tidak melebihi 30 tahun semasa permohonan dibuat. Bagi melayakkan pemohon untuk membuat pinjaman menggunakan skim ini, pemohon perlu mengemukakan dokumen-dokumen sokongan seperti surat tawaran kerja, transkrip dan sebagainya.\n\n\nPinjaman Kereta atau Pembiayaan Kenderaan Skim Graduan\n\n\nSecara amnya, skim graduan merujuk kepada perkhidmatan pinjaman untuk pemilikan kenderaan yang ditawarkan oleh pihak bank kepada mana-mana individu yang baru memasuki alam pekerjaan untuk memiliki kereta pertama.\n\n\nPihak bank biasanya menawarkan kadar pinjaman 100 peratus daripada harga jualan untuk tempoh pembiayaan antara empat hingga sembilan tahun dengan margin pembiayaan antara RM30,000 hingga RM150,000 bergantung pada kelayakan.\n\n\ni. Syarat Loan Kereta Skim Graduan\n\n\nKebiasaannya, bank menetapkan syarat-syarat kelayakan untuk loan kereta skim graduan seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\nWarganegara Malaysia;\n\n\nBerumur antara 20-30 tahun;\n\n\nTerbuka kepada graduan yang bekerja dalam sektor kerajaan atau swasta;\n\n\nMempunyai diploma atau ijazah daripada institusi yang diiktiraf oleh kerajaan;\n\n\nPinjaman terhad untuk pembelian kereta baharu sahaja, tidak termasuk \nkereta second hand\n.\n\n\n\n\nii. Syarat Kelayakan Gaji Beli Kereta Skim Graduan\n\n\nSelain itu, pemohon yang berminat untuk memiliki kereta menggunakan skim graduan ini juga perlu melepasi syarat kelayakan gaji beli kereta seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\nIndividu bekerja di sekitar Lembah Klang \u2013 gaji minimum bersih selepas potongan KWSP (RM1,800 dan ke atas);\n\n\nIndividu bekerja di lokasi-lokasi selain Lembah Klang \u2013 gaji minimum bersih selepas potongan KWSP (RM1,500 dan ke atas);\n\n\nKelayakan dikira berdasarkan gaji pokok (basic) dan elaun tetap tidak termasuk kerja lebih masa (overtime) atau komisen.\n\n\n\n\nNamun begitu, syarat kelayakan gaji ini biasanya berbeza bergantung pada jenis bank atau institusi kewangan yang dipilih. Anda disarankan untuk merujuk kepada pihak bank untuk maklumat lanjut.\n\n\nProses Loan Kereta: Kepentingan Downpayment Kereta\n\n\nDownpayment atau deposit kereta merujuk kepada jumlah wang yang perlu anda bayar kepada pengedar kereta semasa anda membuat pembelian. Ia adalah sejumlah wang yang dipindahkan sebagai jaminan pembelian dan untuk mengikat perjanjian \npembelian kereta\n.\n\n\n\n\nKebiasaannya, peminjam perlu mengemukakan bayaran pendahuluan atau downpayment kereta sebanyak 10 peratus. Deposit ini biasanya dibayar kepada pihak bank atau pengedar kereta ketika anda memulakan proses pembelian kereta tersebut.\n\n\nKelebihan Membayar Deposit Kereta\n\n\n1. Mengurangkan Jumlah Pinjaman\n\n\nDengan membayar deposit kereta yang mencukupi, anda akan mengurangkan jumlah pinjaman yang perlu anda ambil daripada institusi kewangan. Ini bermaksud anda akan membayar bunga yang lebih rendah dan menjimatkan wang dalam jangka masa panjang.\n\n\n2. Memperbaiki Peluang untuk Mendapatkan Pinjaman\n\n\nMembayar deposit kereta yang memadai juga dapat meningkatkan peluang anda untuk mendapatkan pinjaman daripada institusi kewangan. Pengurangan jumlah pinjaman memberikan keyakinan kepada pihak pemberi pinjaman bahawa anda mempunyai keupayaan kewangan yang mencukupi untuk membayar ansuran bulanan.\n\n\n3. Mempercepatkan Proses Kelulusan\n\n\nDalam beberapa kes, pembayaran deposit kereta yang mencukupi boleh mempercepatkan proses kelulusan pinjaman. Pihak pemberi pinjaman akan melihat bahawa anda mempunyai komitmen yang kukuh terhadap pembelian kereta dan anda bersedia untuk melibatkan diri dalam urusan kewangan yang penting.\n\n\nBila Perlu Bayar Deposit Kereta?\n\n\nMasa yang tepat untuk membayar deposit kereta adalah bergantung kepada keadaan dan keperluan anda. Berikut adalah beberapa situasi di mana pembayaran deposit kereta biasanya berlaku:\n\n\n1. Semasa Membuat Tempahan\n\n\nJika anda membuat tempahan untuk kereta yang baru, pengedar kereta mungkin memerlukan pembayaran deposit untuk mengesahkan tempahan anda. Ini memberi mereka keyakinan bahawa anda serius untuk membeli kereta tersebut dan menjaga kepentingan kedua-dua pihak.\n\n\n2. Semasa Menandatangani Perjanjian Pembelian\n\n\nApabila anda menandatangani perjanjian pembelian kereta dengan pengedar, biasanya anda akan diminta untuk membayar deposit sebagai sebahagian daripada keseluruhan jumlah pembelian. Ini adalah titik di mana pembelian kereta menjadi sah secara undang-undang dan memastikan bahawa kedua-dua pihak mempunyai kepentingan yang dilindungi.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nKaedah Pembayaran Beli Kereta Terpakai di Malaysia\n\n\nProses Loan Kereta: Dokumen untuk Beli Kereta\n\n\n\n\nSelain daripada mengambil kira kadar faedah, satu lagi proses penting dalam permohonan pinjaman kereta adalah menyediakan dokumen yang diperlukan. Di sini kami senaraikan dokumen yang diperlukan memudahkan urusan permohonan pembiayaan sewa beli kereta anda.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDokumen Beli Kereta (Kategori Peminjam)\n\n\nDokumen Diperlukan\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPenjawat/Pekerja Kerajaan/Kakitangan Awam\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSalinan kad pengenalan (MyKad);\n\n\nSalinan lesen memandu;\n\n\nPenyata akaun bank gaji (bergantung pada bank);\n\n\nSalinan slip gaji 3 bulan terkini.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPekerja Swasta\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSalinan kad pengenalan (MyKad);\n\n\nSalinan lesen memandu;\n\n\nPenyata akaun bank gaji (bergantung pada bank);\n\n\nSalinan slip gaji 3 bulan terkini;\n\n\nPenyata KWSP.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIndividu Bekerja Sendiri/Peniaga\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSalinan kad pengenalan (MyKad);\n\n\nSalinan lesen memandu;\n\n\nPenyata akaun bank 6 bulan terkini;\n\n\nSalinan pendaftaran syarikat (SSM).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSkim Graduan\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSalinan kad pengenalan (MyKad);\n\n\nSalinan lesen memandu;\n\n\nSurat tawaran pekerjaan (bagi pemohon yang baru berkhidmat atau kurang daripada 3 bulan);\n\n\nSalinan transkrip ijazah atau diploma yang disahkan;\n\n\nSalinan slip gaji 3 bulan terkini \u2013 bergantung pada keperluan oleh pihak bank;\n\n\nPenyata akaun bank terkini \u2013 bergantung pada keperluan oleh pihak bank.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPelajar\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSalinan kad pengenalan (MyKad);\n\n\nSalinan lesen memandu;\n\n\nKad pelajar;\n\n\nDokumen penjamin kereta \u2013 ibu, ayah, saudara terdekat yang masih bekerja.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTips untuk Elakkan Loan Kereta Ditolak\n\n\nBagi memudahkan dan melancarkan urusan permohonan pinjaman bank untuk pembeli kereta, kami senaraikan beberapa tip yang dapat membantu mengelakkan permohonan anda ditolak oleh pihak bank.\n\n\n1. Periksa Laporan Kredit CCRIS & CTOS\n\n\nSemak rekod pinjaman sedia ada sebelum memohon pinjaman kredit baharu. Pastikan hutang kad kredit atau pinjaman PTPTN dibayar mengikut jadual untuk mengelakkan skor kredit yang teruk. Di Malaysia, segala rekod kredit peminjam dan maklumat berkaitan pinjaman anda seperti sejarah pembayaran, tunggakan dan sebagainya direkodkan dalam Credit Reference Information System atau CCRIS dan CTOS (Credit Tip-Off Service).\n\n\n\n\nAnda boleh \nmendapatkan maklumat kedudukan kredit semasa anda\n dengan hadir sendiri ke Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) atau memuat turun secara dalam talian melalui portal CTOS secara percuma.\n\n\n2. Semak Kelayakan Gaji Beli Kereta\n\n\nInstitusi kewangan atau bank menetapkan kelayakan gaji bersih minimum untuk permohonan pinjaman kenderaan adalah serendah RM1,500 dan ke atas. Selain itu, kelayakan gaji yang dikira layak untuk pemohon Skim Graduan untuk lepasan ijazah atau diploma mestilah tidak kurang daripada RM1,000 selepas ditolak bayaran bulanan kereta dan caruman KWSP/SOCSO.\n\n\nJika kurang, anda mungkin memerlukan penjamin kereta (ibu atau bapa/suami atau isteri) bagi menyokong permohonan anda.\n\n\n3. Kenal Pasti Komitmen Bulanan Anda\n\n\nSelain itu, had penggunaan kredit sedia ada yang tinggi juga boleh menyebabkan permohonan pinjaman anda tidak diluluskan. Kebiasaannya, pihak bank akan menilai komitmen bulanan untuk mengenal pasti kecekapan anda mentadbir urus kewangan dan mengetahui kemampuan anda untuk membayar balik hutang pinjaman tanpa sebarang masalah.\n\n\nKomitmen bulanan yang ideal mestilah tidak melebih 70 peratus daripada jumlah pendapatan termasuk pinjaman kenderaan baharu yang dipohon. Untuk kira jumlah loan kereta anda, boleh gunakan \nkalkulator pinjaman kereta\n di pautan ini.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Status atau Jenis Pekerjaan Pemohon\n\n\nStatus pekerjaan pemohon seperti status jawatan (tetap atau kontrak) juga memainkan peranan dan merupakan salah satu faktor yang dipertimbangkan semasa pihak bank memproses permohonan pinjaman kereta.\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda mempunyai perniagaan sendiri yang didaftarkan di bawah SSM, anda perlu sediakan penyata syarikat sekurang-kurangnya bagi tempoh enam bulan terkini. Kebiasaannya, pendapatan anda secara individu hanya dikira sebanyak 20 peratus daripada jumlah keseluruhan pendapatan masuk setiap bulan.\n\n\n5. Ada Lesen Memandu Lebih Baik\n\n\nSelain itu, pemilikan lesen memandu juga secara tidak langsung membantu memudahkan proses permohonan dan dokumentasi pinjaman kereta anda. Namun begitu, ada sesetengah institusi kewangan yang menawarkan serta membenarkan permohonan pinjaman atau loan kereta dilakukan tanpa lesen memandu dengan syarat gaji pokok mestilah RM3,000 dan ke atas. Anda boleh merujuk pegawai bank anda untuk kepastian.\n\n\nTanpa sebarang panduan, memilih, memohon, dan menguruskan pinjaman kereta dengan bijak mungkin kelihatan seperti tugas yang menakutkan. Namun, dengan pengetahuan yang betul dan perancangan yang teliti, anda pasti dapat melakukannya dengan mudah.\n\n\nPastikan anda mengetahui keperluan kewangan anda, menilai kelayakan pinjaman, membuat perbandingan antara institusi kewangan, serta mengurus dan menguruskan pinjaman dengan bijak. Dengan melakukan langkah-langkah ini, anda akan dapat memilih pinjaman kereta yang tepat, melindungi kewangan anda, dan meraih kereta impian anda tanpa sebarang masalah yang tidak perlu.\n\n\nArtikel ini diterbitkan secara asalnya pada 10/09/2021 dan ia telah dikemaskini pada 23/05/23 bagi memastikan maklumat yang terkini.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nBoleh Beli Kereta Pakai App Je Dengan CARSOME?

Dengan suhu purata Malaysia sekitar 28\u02daC hingga 35\u02daC hampir sepanjang tahun, ia sedikit sebanyak mendorong pengguna kereta untuk memasang cermin gelap untuk keselesaan dan keselamatan sepanjang pemanduan. Secara amnya, terdapat pelbagai jenis\n tinted\n kereta yang dijual dipasaran hari ini dengan julat harga yang berbeza mengikut pilihan dan keperluan anda.\n\n\nTinted\n Kereta: Apa itu VLT \nTinted\n, IR \nTinted\n dan UV \nTinted\n?\n\n\nBagi anda yang mungkin tidak biasa dengan perkara-perkara berkaitan \ntinted\n kereta ini, istilah-istilah seperti VLT, IR dan UV mungkin kedengaran janggal bagi anda. Oleh sebab itu, CARSOME menyenaraikan perkara-perkara berikut sebagai rujukan dan panduan anda:\n\n\n1.\u00a0Peratusan Ketelusan Cahaya atau \nVisible Light Transmission \n(VLT)\n\n\nPeratusan Ketelusan Cahaya atau \nVisible Light Transmission \n(VLT) merujuk pada kadar peratusan cahaya yang dapat menembusi \ncermin kereta\n anda. Jika anda menggunakan \ntinted\n kereta dengan peratusan ketelusan cahaya sebanyak lima peratus, warna \ntinted\n kereta anda akan menjadi lebih gelap berbanding penggunaan \ntinted\n cermin kereta dengan tahap ketelusan cahaya sebanyak 80 peratus. Peratus \ntinted\n kereta ini menunjukkan amaun cahaya yang dibenarkan untuk melaluinya. Semakin rendah peratus \ntinted\n kereta (nilai VLT \ntinted\n), semakin gelap tingkap cermin kereta anda kerana semakin sedikit amaun cahaya yang dapat menembusinya.\n\n\n2. Sinaran Inframerah atau \nInfrared \n(IR)\n\n\nSinaran inframerah atau \nInfrared \n(IR \ntinted\n) pula merujuk pada jumlah haba yang dapat menembusi cermin kereta anda. Secara amnya, tahap kepanasan atau haba di bahagian dalaman kereta apabila dibiarkan di bawah terik matahari bergantung sepenuhnya pada nilai IR \ntinted\n yang digunakan. Semakin tinggi nilai IR \ntinted\n, semakin kurang tahap kepanasan di bahagian dalam ruang kabin kenderaan. Namun begitu, nilai IR \ntinted\n yang tinggi biasanya akan mempengaruhi harga \ntinted\n kereta anda.\n\n\n3. Sinaran Ultraungu atau \nUltraviolet (\nUV)\n\n\nSinaran ultraungu atau \nultraviolet\n (UV) merujuk pada bahagian spektrum gelombang elektromagnet yang dipancarkan oleh matahari. Sinar UV yang berlebihan boleh memberi kesan negatif terutamanya pada bahagian kulit atau mata anda. Sama seperti kandungan nilai SPF pada produk kecantikan wanita, nilai UV \ntinted\n kereta menunjukkan peratusan UV yang boleh menembusi cermin kereta anda. \u00a0Semakin tinggi peratusan UV \ntinted\n dicatatkan, semakin tinggi kualiti \ntinted\n kereta anda. Kebanyakan pengusaha pusat aksesori dan pusat \ntinted\n kereta menawarkan kadar peratus \ntinted\n (nilai UV\n tinted\n) sebanyak 99 peratus.\n\n\n\n\nFaktor Yang Perlu Dipertimbangkan Sebelum Pilih \nTinted\n Kereta\n\n\nCahaya matahari bukan sahaja menyebabkan silau dan menjadikan pemanduan tidak selesa, malah ia juga memancarkan sinaran ultraungu atau sinar UV yang boleh merosakkan kulit dan mata. Oleh sebab itu, penting untuk anda memilih \nbrand tinted\n kereta terbaik dan sesuai untuk kereta anda. Berikut merupakan cara pilih jenama \ntinted\n kereta terbaik dan faktor-faktor lain yang boleh anda pertimbangkan sebelum memilih\n tinted\n kereta.\n\n\n1. Perlindungan Asas\n\n\nPastikan anda memilih \ntinted\n kereta berkualiti yang mempunyai ciri perlindungan asas seperti perlindungan UV (\ntinted\n UV) dan penangkis haba. Kebanyakan pengeluar atau pengedar produk \ntinted\n cermin biasanya mengiklankan pelbagai retorik menarik untuk melariskan produk jualan mereka. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk melakukan kajian lanjut di internet untuk mendapatkan kepastian. Secara amnya, terdapat pelbagai jenis \ntinted\n kereta dengan pelbagai ciri perlindungan asas dijual di pasaran. Harga \ntinted\n kereta biasanya antara RM100 hingga RM1000 atau mungkin lebih bergantung pada jenis \ntinted\n kereta, model atau saiz kereta.\n\n\n2. Penggunaan Bahan Api\n\n\nSelain itu, \ntinted\n kereta terbaik dan berkualiti dapat meminimumkan sinaran cahaya matahari daripada menembusi cermin kereta anda. Ia sekali gus dapat mengurangkan dan menjimatkan penggunaan bahan api untuk menyejukkan ruang kabin kereta anda. \nTinted\n kereta bergred tinggi dapat menangkis haba daripada diserap masuk ke dalam ruang kabin kereta. Ia biasanya ditetapkan mengikut kadar \nTotal Solar Energy Rejected\n (TSER). TSER secara amnya merujuk pada jumlah haba yang dapat dihalang oleh \ntinted\n cermin kereta. Semakin tinggi nilai TSER, semakin banyak jumlah haba dapat dihalang daripada memasuki ruang kabin.\n\n\n3. Keselamatan\n\n\nSesetengah \ntinted\n cermin kereta yang dijual di pasaran dilengkapi dengan ciri keselamatan yang dapat menahan serpihan \ncermin kereta yang retak atau pecah\n daripada berderai apabila terkena seseuatu impak. Selain itu, penggunaan cermin gelap juga dikatakan dapat mengurangkan risiko jenayah dan meningkatkan masa yang diperlukan oleh penjenayah untuk memecah masuk kereta anda. Meskipun begitu, ia tidak bermaksud penggunaan\n tinted\n menyebabkan pengguna tidak terdedah langsung kepada risiko cermin pecah\u2013ia masih boleh dipecahkan terutamanya jika mengambil kira akses semasa situasi kecemasan oleh pasukan keselamatan seperti kemalangan dan sebagainya.\n\n\n4. Jaminan dan Waranti\n\n\nSelain itu, \ntinted\n kereta bergred tinggi juga biasanya didatangkan dengan jaminan perlindungan dan waranti daripada pihak pengeluar. Ini bermaksud, anda boleh membuat tuntutan kerosakan sekiranya \ntinted\n cermin yang anda gunakan rosak dalam tempoh jaminan yang ditetapkan. Anda juga disarankan untuk membandingkan tempoh dan perlindungan waranti yang ditawarkan kerana setiap jenama \ntinted\n kereta menawarkan jaminan perlindungan yang berbeza. Kenal pasti produk\n tinted\n kereta yang berkualiti termasuk perkhidmatan selepas jualan (\nafter sales service\n) yang baik.\n\n\n\n\nCara Pilih \nTinted\n Kereta Terbaik dan Berkualiti\n\n\nFaktor harga \ntinted\n bukanlah perkara pertama yang perlu diberi perhatian semasa memilih cermin gelap yang baik atau berkualiti. Pemilihan \ntinted\n kereta merupakan perkara yang subjektif kerana setiap individu mempunyai pilihan, bajet dan keperluan yang berbeza. Namun biasanya, cermin gelap yang dijual pada harga yang murah di pasaran biasanya berisiko untuk menggelembung dan pudar dengan lebih cepat.\u00a0Berbeza dengan cermin yang dijual pada harga lebih premium di pasaran, ia biasanya menawarkan kualiti, jangka hayat, perlindungan dan jaminan keselamatan yang lebih baik. Anda masih boleh mempertimbangkan perkara berikut sebelum pilih\n tinted\n kereta yang terbaik untuk anda:\n\n\n\n\nIR\n tinted\n \n\u2013\n Semakin tinggi kadar peratus IR, semakin kurang haba dalam kenderaan. Ia sekali gus menyebabkan suhu dalam kabin kenderaan semakin sejuk dan jimat penggunaan bahan api. Sekiranya anda mencari \ntinted\n kereta yang boleh menyejukkan suhu dalam kabin kenderaan dengan lebih baik, pilih\n tinted\n kereta dengan kadar peratus IR yang tinggi berbanding kadar VLT. Namun begitu, \ntinted\n kereta dengan IR yang tinggi biasanya dijual pada harga yang lebih mahal.\n\n\nUV \ntinted\n \n\u2013\n Semakin tinggi kadar peratus UV, semakin sedikit kadar tembusan sinaran UV dalam kenderaan. Ia secara tidak langsung mengurangkan risiko pada kesihatan kulit (kanser kulit, penuaan) dan merendahkan suhu dalam kenderaan. Kebanyakan produk \ntinted\n cermin premium biasanya menawarkan perlindungan UV sehingga 99 peratus.\n\n\nVLT \ntinted\n \n\u2013\n Semakin rendah kadar peratus VLT, semakin kurang sinaran cahaya matahari menembusi cermin kenderaan. Ini bermaksud, cermin kereta menjadi semakin gelap dan pemanduan menjadi lebih selesa kerana kurang silau. Namun begitu, anda disarankan untuk mempertimbangkan\n spec tinted\n JPJ 2021 dan tidak melebihi peratus\n tinted\n kereta yang dibenarkan untuk mengelakkan anda daripada disaman.\n\n\n\n\nJenis \nTinted\n Kereta Terbaik di Malaysia\n\n\nTinted\n kereta berfungsi memberikan perlindungan tambahan daripada sinaran UV yang berbahaya. Ia juga boleh memberi lebih keselesaan semasa memandu lebih-lebih lagi jika mengambil kira cuaca pada waktu siang di Malaysia. Secara amnya, terdapat pelbagai jenis \ntinted\n JPJ 2021 yang dijual di pasaran:\n\n\n1. \nTinted\n Jenis Celup (\nDyed Window Tint Film\n)\n\n\nTinted\n cermin jenis ini biasanya terdiri daripada beberapa lapisan filem yang dicelup yang bertindak menyerap cahaya matahari yang menembusi tingkap. Anda boleh menyesuaikan tahap kegelapan \ntinted\n kereta mengikut pilihan anda. Ia merupakan \ntinted\n cermin yang biasa digunakan kerana ia dikatakan lebih murah berbanding jenis-jenis \ntinted\n kereta yang lain. Namun begitu, \ntinted\n jenis ini mempunyai kemampuan menghalang sinaran matahari yang terhad dan cenderung untuk pudar dan perlu diganti selepas beberapa ketika.\n\n\n2. \nTinted\n Jenis Logam (\nMetalize Window Tint Film\n)\n\n\nTinted\n jenis ini mengandungi partikel logam mikro yang bertindak memantulkan cahaya matahari. Umumnya, \ntinted\n cermin jenis ini juga dikatakan lebih efektif berbanding penggunaan\n tinted\n kereta jenis celup. Selain itu, ia juga tahan calar dan berupaya memberi perlindungan tambahan pada cermin kereta anda\u2013kurang risiko cermin berderai sekiranya berlaku kemalangan atau impak besar yang lain. Namun begitu, penggunaan\n tinted\n cermin jenis ini boleh mengganggu isyarat radio atau GPS.\n\n\n3.\n Tinted\n Jenis Hibrid (\nHybrid Window Tint Film\n)\n\n\nIa merupakan gabungan antara \ntinted\n cermin jenis celup dan logam\u2013terdiri daripada beberapa lapisan filem yang dicelup, diselang-seli dengan lapisan logam nipis (biasanya titanium). \nTinted\n kereta jenis hibrid merupakan versi \ntinted\n cermin jenis celup dan logam yang ditambah baik. Ia mempunyai impak gangguan radio yang lebih sedikit berbanding \ntinted\n kereta logam. Namun begitu, harga\n tinted\n kereta jenis hibrid ini lebih mahal berbanding \ntinted\n cermin jenis celup dan lebih murah jika dibandingkan dengan \ntinted \ncermin jenis logam.\n\n\n4. \nTinted\n Jenis Karbon (\nCarbon Window Tint Film\n)\n\n\nTinted\n cermin jenis karbon tidak mudah pudar berbanding kebanyakan \ntinted\n kereta yang lain. Ini kerana, ia diperbuat daripada zarah fiber karbon dan dikatakan lebih efektif menghalang cahaya matahari berbanding \ntinted\n cermin jenis celup atau logam. Ia mempunyai kemasan \nmatte\n jika dilihat dari luar\u2013sekali gus menyebabkan ramai pengguna memilih \ntinted\n jenis ini untuk tampil lebih estetik. Ia juga mempunyai ciri penebat yang sangat baik dan dikatakan mampu mengurangkan haba dari matahari dan menaikkan suhu dalaman kenderaan sekitar 40 peratus.\n\n\nOleh sebab itu, harga \ntinted\n kereta jenis karbon dijual pada harga yang lebih tinggi dalam pasaran. Meskipun lebih mahal, ia semestinya berbaloi dengan jangka hayat dan kualiti yang ditawarkan.\n\n\n5. \nTinted\n Jenis Seramik (\nSeramic Window Tint Film\n)\n\n\nTinted\n cermin jenis ini berupaya menghalang hampir 99 peratus sinaran UV. Selain itu, ia juga dikatakan lebih tahan lama berbanding \ntinted\n cermin jenis celup atau logam, tidak mudah pudar dan tidak mengganggu isyarat radio. \nTinted\n cermin kereta jenis seramik dikatakan lebih efektif dalam menghalang haba dan cahaya daripada matahari sekali gus berupaya mengurangkan hampir separuh suhu dalaman kereta.\n\n\nSama seperti \ntinted\n cermin jenis logam, \ntinted\n cermin jenis seramik ini juga berupaya meningkatkan ketahanan cermin. Ia menjadikan cermin kereta lebih tahan lasak dan tidak berderai sekiranya pecah. Selain itu, ia juga berupaya mengurangkan tahap silau tanpa perlu meningkatkan peratus \ntinted\n kereta. \nTinted\n jenis seramik ini biasanya dijual pada harga yang lebih premium dalam pasaran.\n\n\nPeratus \nTinted\n Kereta JPJ 2021: Peraturan Cermin Gelap untuk Kereta di Malaysia\n\n\nPengguna jalan raya di Malaysia tertakluk pada peraturan kenderaan dan undang-undang jalan raya yang ditetapkan oleh Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ). Peraturan ini termasuk peratusan kadar ketelusan cahaya kenderaan motor. Berikut merupakan peraturan cermin gelap 2021 bagi cermin kenderaan motor bermula Mei 2019 untuk panduan dan rujukan anda:\n\n\n\n\nPindaan baharu ini membolehkan cermin gelap di bahagian tempat duduk penumpang belakang dan cermin utama belakang kenderaan \ntanpa penetapan kadar peratusan VLT\n dengan syarat kenderaan tersebut dilengkapi dengan cermin sisi pandang belakang di kedua-dua bahagian. Kadar peratusan VLT untuk cermin utama hadapan dan cermin sisi tempat duduk pemandu dan penumpang hadapan pula ditetapkan sama seperti peratusan sedia ada \n\u2013 \nVLT 70% untuk cermin utama hadapan, VLT 50% untuk cermin sisi tempat duduk pemandu dan penumpang hadapan.\n\n\nNamun begitu, peraturan baharu ini tidak terpakai untuk kenderaan motor yang didaftarkan sebagai kenderaan awam dan kenderaan perdagangan.\n Kenderaan ini hanya dibenarkan untuk memiliki kadar ketelusan cahaya tidak kurang dari 70%.\n\n\nPermohonan Kelulusan Penggunaan Cermin Gelap\n\n\nPemasangan cermin gelap dibenarkan kepada individu tertentu di bawah subkaedah 11(1)(a) dan 11(1)(b), Kaedah-Kaedah Kenderaan Motor (Penggunaan Kaca atau Bahan Lutsinar Lain)(Pindaan) 2019.

It has produced numerous iconic cars such as the Kancil and \nMyvi\n. These cars are not only economical but versatile enough to appeal to a very large range of drivers, from teenagers to commuters to retirees. Almost every Malaysian family has or has had a Perodua in their garage which speaks to just how much Malaysians love them. Let\u2019s take a look at the history of Perodua and the cars it has produced over the years.\n\n\n\n\nPerodua: How It Started\n\n\nPerodua was established in 1993 as Malaysia\u2019s second national automaker. As it was first kept secret from the public, the company was first referred to by the codename \u201cM2\u201d prior to being announced. So as not to compete with \nProton\n, Perodua initially focused on bringing compact, A-segment hatchbacks to Malaysian users.\u00a0\n\n\nOn 1st August 1994, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, the Prime Minister at the time, officiated the opening ceremony of the first Perodua factory in the country. And only 28 days later, the first Perodua Model, the Kancil, rolled down the assembly line, and the rest was history. The Kancil was well received by the public, and was the car that fueled Malaysia\u2019s fascination with compact hatchbacks. Since the introduction of the Perodua Kancil, Perodua has continued to produce compact cars, including the best-selling Myvi as well as other vehicles from \nsedans\n to \nsports utility vehicles (SUVs)\n.\n\n\nSince its establishment, Perodua has partnered with Japanese carmaker, Daihatsu which held a 20 percent stake in the company at launch. Daihatsu provided the designs and main components for Perodua\u2019s cars from the engines to transmissions. This meant that all Perodua cars had Daihatsu technology. While all its cars are derived from models in Daihatsu\u2019s lineup, Perodua has injected more of its design into its cars in recent years. In fact, the third-generation Perodua Myvi, launched in 2017, was entirely designed and made in Malaysia, which is an important milestone for the company.\n\n\nPerodua has two manufacturing plants which are located in its 522-acre headquarters in Sungai Choh, Rawang. Located here are Perodua\u2019s first facility \u2013 the Perodua Manufacturing Sdn Bhd (PMSB) plant and the second facility which officially opened in 2016 \u2013 the Perodua Global Manufacturing Sdn Bhd (PGMSB) plant. Both plants can produce up to 320,000 vehicles a year. Besides its vehicle manufacturing plants, Perodua also has two plants located in Sendayan TechValley near Seremban. They supply engines and transmissions not just for Perodua, but also for its partners Daihatsu and Toyota, showing just how far the company\u2019s technical abilities have come since 1994.\n\n\nRead More: \nThe Evolution of the Perodua Myvi\n\n\nPerodua Car Models Over the Years\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Kancil\n\n\nPerodua\u2019s first car was the Perodua Kancil which was based on the Daihatsu Mira L200. It was first produced in 1994 and was a small five-door \nhatchback\n with either a 660 cubic centimeter (cc) or an 850 cc engine. Thanks to its compact design and affordability, the Kancil quickly became a favorite among Malaysians including mothers who use it to send their kids to school. It was also the default learning car used in driving schools across the country.\u00a0\n\n\nEarlier iterations of the Kancil had basic styling with boxy head and tail lights. Over the years, it received several facelifts that gave it more rounded lights as well as incremental engine and interior styling improvements. The Kancil finally ceased production in 2009 to give way to the Perodua Viva.\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Rusa\n\n\nThe Perodua Rusa was the company\u2019s second vehicle that was manufactured between 1996 and 2007. It was a microvan based on the Daihatsu Zebra. It originally has a 1.3-liter engine that was upgraded to a 1.6-liter in 1997. The Rusa was available with two, five, and seven-seat configurations. This made it a versatile and affordable van both for families and for drivers who needed a freight vehicle.\u00a0\n\n\nThe sliding rear doors also contributed to its popularity among mobile food van operators. Perodua halted the production of the Rusa in 2007 and has not added a new van to their lineup. This has caused a situation in which the prices of the used Rusa are actually going up due to demand for a microvan with sliding doors, which so far no other manufacturer has fulfilled.\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Kembara\n\n\nThe Perodua Kembara was based on the Daihatsu Terios J100 A-segment \nsports utility vehicle (SUV)\n. It was manufactured between 1998 and 2007 and was the first locally manufactured SUV. It had a 1.3-liter engine and a short wheelbase of only 2,420mm, unlike some markets which had a variation of the Terios with a 2,500mm and 2,750mm wheelbase. The Kembara came with both rear-wheel and four-wheel drive making it a great choice for buyers who need to do some off-road driving. Unlike current SUVs, the Kembara had traditional SUV styling with a boxy shape and spare tire fixed on the rear hatch door.\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Nautica\n\n\nThe Perodua Nautica was only manufactured between 2008 and 2009. As a rebadged short-wheelbase Daihatsu Terios J200, it was the successor to the Kembara. It had a 1.5-liter DVVT engine and full-time four-wheel drive. While it was a great car on its own, the Nautica was a fully imported completely built up (CBU) unit from Japan. A strange outlier in Perodua\u2019s history, only its bumpers were assembled in Malaysia. This gave it a high price tag, on par with the larger Toyota Rush at the time. This contributed to its low sales numbers which eventually caused it to be discontinued in 2009.\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Kenari\n\n\nThe Perodua Kenari is another iconic car from Perodua. It was based on the second-generation Daihatsu Move minicar or Kei car as it is known in Japan. It was manufactured from 2000 to 2009 and was offered with a 990 cc engine. Although it\u2019s in the same segment as the Kancil, the Kenari has slightly larger dimensions besides the larger engine. The Kenari had a tall roof which gave it a quirky, boxy shape that, to many owners, is one of its endearing features. Like the Rusa, prices of used Kenaris are also going up due to its compact and quirky nature.\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Kelisa\n\n\nThe Perodua Kelisa was based on the Daihatsu Mira L700 and was manufactured from 2001 to 2007. Although it\u2019s based on the same platform as the Kancil, it was sold alongside the Kancil until they were both replaced by the Perodua Viva in 2007. Compared to the Kancil, the Kelisa had an overall rounded shape with softer body lines and rounded lights. It was slightly larger than the Kancil and it was available in an 847 cc as well as a 989 cc engine. And like the Kancil, it\u2019s just as economical and easy to drive around town. In fact, these characteristics make the Perodua Kelisa a highly sought-after car even now.\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Myvi\n\n\nThe \nPerodua Myvi\n is no stranger to the Malaysian automotive industry. After all, it\u2019s the best-selling car in Malaysia. Based on the Toyota Passo/Daihatsu Boon, the Perodua Myvi is a B-segment hatchback that was first produced in 2005. It was initially available with a 1.0 and 1.3-liter engine alongside a five-speed manual and four-speed automatic transmission. Now in its third generation, it\u2019s available with a 1.3 and 1.5-liter engine, alongside a five-speed manual and continuously variable transmission (CVT) transmission.\u00a0\n\n\nLike other Peroduas, the first and second-generation Myvi was largely based on Japanese models with minor styling changes. However, the third-generation Myvi is fully designed in-house with Daihatsu and Toyota only providing the engines and technical advice. The Myvi is also the first Perodua to be equipped with the Advanced Safety Assist (A.S.A) which is Perodua\u2019s active driver assistance system (ADAS).\n\n\nA Perodua Viva sold for RM15,400 on CARSOME\n\n\nPerodua Viva\n\n\nThe \nPerodua Viva\n was manufactured from 2007 to 2014 and was the replacement of the Kancil and Kelisa. This A-segment hatchback was based on the seventh generation Daihatsu Mira. It came with various improvements over its predecessors including a larger, 1.0-liter engine, larger dimensions, and better interior refinement. However, it was still available with the 660 and 850 cc engines like its predecessors. Production of the Perodua Viva ended in 2014 and it was replaced by the Axia.\n\n\nA Perodua Alza sold for RM39,900 on CARSOME\n\n\nPerodua Alza\n\n\nThe \nPerodua Alza\n is a B-segment \nmulti-purpose vehicle (MPV)\n that was launched in 2009. It is based on the Daihatsu Boon Luminas and is powered by a 1.5-liter engine. As a compact B-segment MPV, the Alza sits in its segment without any clear competitors. It has a low ride height like a sedan or hatchback but is able to fit seven people. These characteristics have helped it to become the best-selling MPV in Malaysia in 2010. In fact, it continues to enjoy good sales despite being over ten years old. That being said, Perodua has announced that it will launch the second-generation Alza in 2022 which will be based on the 2021 Daihatsu Xenia and Toyota Avanza.\n\n\nA Perodua Axia sold for RM25,900 on CARSOME\n\n\nPerodua Axia\n\n\nThe \nPerodua Axia\n is the successor to the Perodua Viva. It was launched in 2014 and is based on the Daihatsu Ayla and Toyota Agya. Unlike its predecessor, the Axia is only available with a 1.0-liter engine paired with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. While it shares the same platform as its Japanese counterparts, the Axia has extensive unique design elements and is not just a rebadge.\u00a0\n\n\nIt is also the first Perodua to be certified as an Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV). The Axia received two facelifts: the first in 2017 and the second in 2019. And like its predecessor the Kancil, the Axia is now the default choice of learning car for driving schools all across Malaysia.\n\n\nA Perodua Bezza sold for RM35,400 on CARSOME\n\n\nPerodua Bezza\n\n\nThe \nPerodua Bezza\n is an A-segment \nsedan\n that was launched in 2016 and built on top of the Perodua Axia platform. For its development, Perodua lead the design and development of the upper body structure. The Bezza marks several firsts for the company including it being Perodua\u2019s first sedan, first major in-house design, and the first Perodua to feature Vehicle Stability Control (VSC). In fact, the Bezza is the first Perodua not to be based on an existing Daihatsu or Toyota model. The Bezza is available with a 1.0 and 1.3-liter engine, and like the Axia, is an EEV.\n\n\nA Perodua Aruz sold for RM62,000 on CARSOME\n\n\nPerodua Aruz\n\n\nThe \nPerodua Aruz\n is a B-segment SUV based on the Toyota Rush and was launched in 2019. It is a seven-seater SUV with a 1.5-liter engine and rear-wheel drive. Although Perodua assembles both the Perodua Aruz and Toyota Rush, both vehicles have distinct differences in exterior and interior styling, equipment, and safety features. That said, the Aruz has Perodua\u2019s A.S.A safety suite like the Bezza and Myvi.\n\n\nA Perodua Ativa sold for RM69,900 on CARSOME\n\n\nPerodua Ativa\n\n\nThe \nPerodua Ativa\n is a B-segment SUV based on the Daihatsu Rocky. It was launched in 2021 and sits below the Aruz in terms of size. The Perodua Ativa has several new features not found in previous Perodua models. These include a new 1.0-liter turbocharged engine and a new CVT transmission. Furthermore, it\u2019s the first Perodua to be built on the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) platform. The Ativa has a shape and size that is reminiscent of the Kembara. However, it only comes in front-wheel drive making it a road-oriented SUV. The Ativa is so popular that waiting lists for it are now up to 4 months depending on the variant.\n\n\nBy offering innovative and economical cars that appeal to the Malaysian market, Perodua has rightly justified its place as the country\u2019s largest car manufacturer. In fact, it still continues to develop value-added features such as its A.S.A safety suite and EEV lineup. \n\n\nGet a CARSOME Certified Perodua for Peace of Mind\n\n\nWith our large selection of CARSOME Certified \nPerodua cars\n, you can rest assured that any Perodua you buy is in great condition and free from damage.

Meskipun sudah lebih 12 tahun dalam pasaran, model yang dibina berasaskan platform Daihatsu Boon Luminas ini pernah melalui beberapa naik taraf kosmetik atau\n facelift\n.

Menurut vendor Perodua, Sapura Industrial Berhad (SIB), syarikat itu kini sedang membangunkan beberapa komponen penting untuk MPV baharu Perodua ini. Selain itu, ia juga dalam masa yang sama turut akan membekalkan \nCase Differential Assembly\n kepada Akashi Kikai Industri Malaysia.\n\n\nSyarikat ini merupakan vendor tahap 1 yang membekalkan transmisi kepada model Perodua yang dijangka untuk pengeluaran besar-besaran pada Disember 2021. Ia sekali gus memberi petunjuk besar terhadap kemunculan model pengganti Perodua Alza D27A sedia ada.

Harga atas jalan termasuk\n pengecualian cukai kereta (SST)\n untuk model ini bermula RM61,500 hingga RM72,000 di Semenanjung Malaysia. Harga ini lebih rendah berbanding harga tentatif yang diumumkan sebelum ini iaitu RM62,500 hingga RM73,400, tawaran harga ini sah sehingga Jun 2021. Sejak tahun lalu, spekulasi mengenai nama model terbaharu Perodua ini menjadi tanda tanya. Ia akhirnya terjawab hari ini apabila Perodua mengumumkan nama Ativa sebagai nama rasmi SUV kompak Perodua ini. Nama Ativa diambil daripada bahasa Portugis yang membawa maksud \naktif, \ndipilih bersesuaian dengan gaya hidup aktif di bandar.\n\n\n\n\nSUV Perodua Ativa D55L Dilancarkan Secara Rasmi ke Pasaran Malaysia\n\n\nMenurut Presiden dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Perodua, Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad, Perodua menerima 5,000 tempahan bagi Perodua Ativa sejak ia dibuka 19 Februari lalu. Ativa merupakan kenderaan dengan pengecas turbo dan model pertama Perodua yang menggunakan Transmisi Boleh Laras Berterusan (CVT). Kesemua teknologi yang ditampilkan oleh Perodua menjadikannya Kenderaan Cekap Tenaga (EEV) kelima Perodua dan berupaya menyumbang kepada kecekapan bahan api sehingga 18.9 kilometer per liter (km/l).\n\n\nEnjin Perodua Ativa \u2013 DNGA, Turbo dan CVT\n\n\nPerodua Ativa D55L merupakan sebuah SUV kompak segmen B yang menggunakan platform terkini \nDaihatsu New Global Architecture\n (DNGA). Ia dikuasakan oleh enjin turbo 1.0 liter yang dipadankan dengan enjin CVT \u2013 model kereta pertama Perodua yang dilengkapi dengan enjin cas turbo dan menggunakan Transmisi Boleh Laras Berterusan (CVT) bagi menggantikan kotak gear automatik empat kelajuan sebelum ini. Gabungan enjin ini dijangkakan akan menyumbang kepada penjimatan \nharga minyak\n sebanyak 18.9 km/l, terbaik dalam kelasnya.\n\n\nKredit: \npaultan.org\n\n\nIa turut menampilkan enjin 1KR-VET 1.0 liter turbo, DOHC VVT tiga-silinder \u2014 keluarga enjin yang sama dengan yang digunakan dalam model Perodua Axia dan Bezza, tetapi dengan tambahan pengecas turbo yang semestinya menampilkan banyak perbezaan berbanding model-model sebelum ini. Enjin ini berkuasa menghasilkan 98 PS pada 6,000 rpm dan 140 Nm tork dari 2,400 rpm hingga 4,000 rpm. Ia memperlihatkan 30 PS dan 50 Nm lebih baik jika dibandingkan dengan unit enjin yang sama tanpa turbo. Selain itu, enjin 1.0L turbo ini juga mampu memberikan prestasi enjin yang sama seperti enjin Myvi 1.5L.\n\n\nDimensi Perodua Ativa\n\n\nPanjang Perodua Ativa ialah 4,065 mm dengan lebar 1,710 mm \u2013 ia 70 mm lebih panjang berbanding Rocky sekali gus menjawab persoalan mengapa Perodua mentakrifkan SUV ini sebagai SUV kompak Segmen B (Rocky daripada Segmen A). Dari aspek ketinggian pula, Perodua Ativa mempunyai tinggi 1,635 mm \u2013 ia 15 mm lebih tinggi berbanding model asasnya. Manakala, jarak antara roda ialah 2,525 mm.\n\n\nJika dibandingkan saiz Ativa dengan mana-mana model Perodua sedia ada, Perodua Ativa 170 mm lebih panjang dan 22 mm lebih sempit, jarak roda 25 mm lebih panjang berbanding Perodua Myvi. Namun begitu, jika dibandingkan dengan SUV Proton X50 \u2013 Ativa 265 mm lebih pendek, 90 mm lebih sempit dengan jarak roda 75 mm lebih pendek.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nPerodua Ativa D55L vs Proton X50 \u2013 SUV Baharu Manakah Pilihan Anda?\n\n\nKredit:\n paultan.org\n\n\nMeskipun Ativa dikatakan lebih kecil berbanding SUV segmen B biasa, ia menampilkan ruang but yang lebih luas iaitu 369 liter, lebih besar berbanding Proton X50 (330 liter). Lantai but Ativa tersedia dalam dua tahap \u2013 lantai paling rendah (369 liter) manakala lantai atas (303 liter). Saiz but ini juga dikatakan lebih besar daripada ruang but Myvi (277 liter). Selain itu, Perodua juga turut menyediakan tayar ganti saiz penuh dengan rim sebenar.\n\n\nCiri Keselamatan Perodua Ativa\n\n\nPerodua Ativa atau Perodua D55L yang merupakan model pertama di bawah rangka tindakan \nPerodua Smart Build\n ini dijangka akan menerajui gaya, keselamatan, teknologi, kelengkapan dan nilai Perodua. Ia dilengkapi dengan Sistem Bantuan Pemanduan Selamat (ASA) 3.0 dalam semua varian. Teknologi terkini ini mampu beroperasi pada kelajuan yang lebih tinggi (pertama kali diperkenalkan dalam Perodua Aruz pada 2019) dan mampu mengesan kenderaan dua roda (pengesanan pejalan kaki ditambah dalam ASA 2.0) berbanding versi semasa. Ini merupakan satu berita baik buat peminat jenama Perodua kerana hanya varian tertinggi menerima sistem ASA dalam kebanyakan model Perodua sebelum ini.\n\n\nKredit: \npaultan.org\n\n\nVarian tertinggi Perodua Ativa D55L, varian AV dijangka hadir dengan Kawalan Pengekalan Lorong (LKC), Paparan Titik Buta (BSM), Amaran Trafik Melintas Belakang (RCTA) dan Kawalan Pemanduan Adaptif (ACC). Manakala, kesemua varian Perodua Ativa D55L ini juga turut dilengkapi dengan enam beg udara SRS (\nfront, side, curtain\n), ABS, EBD, BA, VSC, \nEmergency Stop Signal, Hill Hold Assist\n dan cangkuk tempat duduk kanak-kanak ISOFIX. Ciri-ciri ini dikatakan lebih baik berbanding \nProton X50\n \nyang hanya dilengkapi dengan empat beg udara dan ciri-ciri keselamatan ADAS hanya tersedia untuk varian RM103k \nFlagship\n.\n\n\nSpesifikasi dan Harga Perodua Ativa\n\n\nKesemua varian Perodua Ativa menggunakan lampu utama dan lampu belakang LED sama seperti Myvi. Varian X iaitu varian paling asas menerima tambahan \nAuto High Beam\n (AHB) yang akan diaktifkan pada kelajuan 30 km/j dan ke atas. Sistem ini berfungsi mematikan lampu tinggi sekiranya mengesan kenderaan dari arah bertentangan. Varian H dan AV pula menampilkan A\ndaptive Driving Beam\n (ADB) yang merupakan sistem lampu pintar yang melaraskan LED dan mengawal cahaya agar tidak menyilaukan pemandu dari arah hadapan.\n\n\nSelain itu, ia turut didatangkan dengan lampu isyarat \nsequential\n, lampu selekoh \u2013 menerangi sudut kiri atau kanan mengikut arah stereng dipusingkan dan menyala semasa kereta berundur untuk menerangi persekitaran.

Bagi sistem infotainmen pula, tiada sambungan \nApple CarPlay\n atau\n Android Auto\n disediakan.

Perodua D55L atau Perodua Ativa dikatakan merupakan model tercanggih keluaran Perodua setakat ini, ditawarkan dalam tiga pilihan varian \u2013 X, H dan AV dengan anggaran harga sekitar \nRM62,500\n hingga \nRM73,400\n. Kenderaan utiliti sukan (SUV) Perodua Ativa D55L ini dijangka dilancarkan pada 3 Mac 2021, 8 malam. Carsome menyediakan perbandingan spesifikasi antara model Perodua Ativa D55L dan Proton X50 untuk panduan anda berdasarkan varian tertinggi kedua-dua model.\n\n\nKredit: \npaultan.org\n\n\nPerbandingan Spesifikasi Perodua Ativa D55L vs Proton X50\n\n\nKedua-dua model Perodua Ativa D55L dan Proton X50 bukan daripada kelas persaingan yang sama. Perbandingan spesfikasi ini adalah sekadar untuk memudahkan anda sekiranya anda sedang mempertimbangkan untuk memiliki mana-mana SUV tempatan Perodua Ativa D55L atau Proton X50 ini. Malah, perbandingan spesifikasi yang dibuat bukanlah perbandingan epal dengan epal \u2013 kedua-dua model SUV ini merupakan model kereta daripada kelas yang berbeza. Perbandingan spesifikasi yang dinyatakan juga adalah berdasarkan spesifikasi tidak rasmi Perodua Ativa D55L kerana ia masih belum dilancarkan secara rasmi.\n\n\n1. Harga\n\n\nHarga merupakan salah satu faktor yang perlu dipertimbangkan sebelum membeli kereta idaman. Sebelum membuat keputusan untuk membeli sesebuah kereta, harga yang akan dibayar mestilah berbaloi dengan spesifikasi, ciri keselamatan yang dimiliki. Perodua Ativa D55L (varian tertinggi, AV) dijangka dijual pada harga pasaran \nRM73,400\n, manakala Proton X50 (Varian tertinggi, 1.5 TGDI Flagship) dijual pada harga \nRM103,300\n. Kedua-dua harga yang dinyatakan ini merupakan harga atas jalan tanpa insurans termasuk \npengecualian cukai kenderaan (SST)\n. Jika dibandingkan dari segi harga, Perodua Ativa D55L ditawarkan pada harga yang jauh lebih murah, lebih-lebih lagi jika mengambil kira ciri keselamatan dan spesifikasi yang ditawarkan oleh Perodua. Namun begitu, ia bukanlah suatu perbandingan yang adil kerana perbezaan harga yang ditawarkan merujuk pada pasaran sasaran atau \ntarget market\n pihak pengeluar.\n\n\n2. Prestasi Enjin\n\n\nDari segi keupayaan prestasi enjin pula, kedua-dua model ini dilengkapi dengan enjin turbo 3 silinder. Meskipun kedengaran agak sama, kedua-dua enjin ini menampilkan perbezaan dari aspek prestasinya. Proton X50 mempunyai kapasiti enjin yang lebih besar (1.5 liter turbo) berbanding Perodua Ativa D55L dengan kapasiti enjin 1.0 liter turbo. Enjin Perodua Ativa D55L ini sama seperti enjin yang digunakan dalam Perodua Axia dan Bezza \u2013 enjin Perodua Ativa D55L dikuasakan dengan enjin turbo.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Ativa D55L\n\n\nProton X50\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnjin\n\n\n1.0L Turbo DOHC 3 Silinder\n\n\n1.5L Turbo DOHC 3 Silinder\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTransmisi\n\n\nCVT\n\n\nDCT 7 Kelajuan\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKuasa\n\n\n98PS/ 6,000 rpm\n\n\n177PS/ 6,000 rpm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTork\n\n\n140Nm/ 4,000 rpm\n\n\n255Nm/ 4,000 rpm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPenggunaan Bahan Api\n\n\n5.3L/100km\n\n\n6.4L/100km\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKuasa Pecutan (0-100 km/j)\n\n\n\u2013\n\n\n7.9 Saat\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnjin Perodua X50 dibangunkan dengan kerjasama Geely dan Volvo. Manakala, enjin turbo terbaharu Perodua ini dibangunkan dengan kerjasama Daihatsu dan Toyota. Perodua Ativa D55L menampilkan transmisi D-CVT, Proton X50 pula menampilkan transmisi dwiklac atau\n dual-cluth\n. Dari segi prestasi atas kertas, semestinya transmisi\n dual-cluth\n Proton X50 jauh lebih baik berbanding trasmisi D-CVT Perodua. Namun begitu, ia masih terlalu awal untuk dibincangkan kerana Perodua Ativa D55L masih belum dilancarkan dan masih belum dapat dipastikan prestasi pemanduannya.\n\n\nKredit: \npaultan.org\n\n\n3. Dimensi dan Saiz\n\n\nPerodua Ativa D55L merupakan model SUV segmen B yang kecil \u2013 ia dibina berdasarkan model Daihatsu Rocky dan Toyota Raize, dipasarkan di pasaran sebagai SUV segmen A. Jika dibandingkan dari aspek saiz, Proton X50 lebih tepat untuk menggambarkan saiz SUV segmen B yang sebenar. Perodua Ativa D55L mempunyai ukuran dimensi 335 mm lebih pendek, 105 mm lebih sempit dan mempunyai jarak roda 75 mm lebih pendek jika dibandingkan dengan Proton X50.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Ativa D55L\n\n\nProton X50\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPanjang\n\n\n3,995 mm\n\n\n4,330 mm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLebar\n\n\n1,695 mm\n\n\n1,800 mm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTinggi\n\n\n1,620 mm\n\n\n1,609 mm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJarak Roda\n\n\n2,525 mm\n\n\n2,600 mm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBerat\n\n\n970 kg\n\n\n1,370 kg\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRuang But\n\n\n369 liter\n\n\n330 liter\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWalaupun Perodua Ativa D55L dikatakan lebih kecil berbanding Proton X50, model ini dikatakan mempunyai ruang but yang lebih besar iaitu 369 liter \u2013 39 liter lebih besar berbanding Proton X50. Ruang but yang lebih besar penting untuk individu yang sudah berkeluarga dan boleh memuatkan lebih banyak barang untuk lebih keselesaan terutamanya semasa perjalanan jarak jauh. Malah, saiznya yang lebih kecil juga memberi kelebihan dari aspek penggunaan bahan api. Perodua Ativa D55L dikatakan mempunyai kadar penggunaan bahan api yang lebih rendah dan lebih baik iaitu sebanyak 18.9km bagi setiap liter berbanding \nProton\n X50.\n\n\nNamun begitu, Proton X50 memiliki kelebihan dari segi output berbanding Perodua Ativa D55L. Enjin turbo berkapasiti 1.5 liter turbo 3 silinder berkuasa menghasilkan 148 hp dan 226 Nm dengan suntikan bahan bakar \nport\n atau 175 hp dan 255 Nm dengan suntikan bahan bakar langsung.\n\n\n4. Ciri dan Spesifikasi Keselamatan\n\n\nSelain itu, Perodua Ativa D55L juga turut mencuri tumpuan apabila hadir dengan ciri dan spesfikasi keselamatan terbaik dengan harga yang lebih mampu milik. Walaupun Proton X50 juga turut dilengkapi dengan ciri dan spesifikasi keselamatan yang hampir sama, Perodua Ativa D55L semestinya lebih berbaloi untuk dimiliki pada harga yang lebih murah. Dengan harga pasaran bawah RM80,000, kesemua ciri dan spesifikasi keselamatan ini dilengkapi dalam SUV baharu ini berbanding perlu berbelanja melebihi RM100,000 untuk memiliki ciri dan spesifikasi keselamatan yang sama untuk Proton X50.\n\n\nSpesifikasi Keselamatan Perodua Ativa D55L\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdvanced Safety Assist\n (ASA);\n\n\nLane Departure Warning\n (LDW) dan \nLane Departure Prevention\n (LDP);\n\n\nKawalan Pemanduan Adaptif (ACC);\n\n\nKawalan Pengekalan Lorong (LKC);\n\n\nBantuan Titik Buta (BSM);\n\n\nFront/Rear Corner Sensor;\n\n\nKamera Undur;\n\n\nRear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA);\n\n\nAdaptive High Beam (AHB);\n\n\nEnam (6) beg udara SRS;\n\n\nABS dan EBD (dengan BA);\n\n\nKawalan Kestabilan Kenderaan (VSC);\n\n\nEmergency Stop Signal \n(ESS);\n\n\nHill Hold Assist\n (HHA);\n\n\nSistem ISOFIX.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpesifikasi Keselamatan Proton X50\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnam (6) beg udara SRS;\n\n\nKawalan Kestabilan Elektronik (ESC);\n\n\nAutonomous Emergency Braking\n (AEB);\n\n\nKawalan Pemanduan Adaptif (ACC) dengan fungsi \nStop and Go;\n\n\nKawalan Pemanduan Pintar (ICC);\n\n\nBantuan Pengekalan Lorong (LKA);\n\n\nLane Departure Warning\n (LDW);\n\n\nSistem Maklumat Titik Buta (BLIS);\n\n\nIntelligent High Beam Control\n (IHBC);\n\n\nSistem Pemantauan Tekanan Tayar (TPMS);\n\n\nAuto Park Assist\n (APA);\n\n\nKamera 360.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nProton X50 SUV 2020: Spesifikasi Lengkap, Harga Bermula Serendah RM79,200\n\n\nPerodua Ativa D55L menampilkan pilihan warna eksklusif seperti \n2-Tone Special Metallic\n (dengan bumbung hitam) \u2013 \nPearl Delima Red\n dan \nPearl Diamond White\n; \nSpecial Metallic\n \u2013 \nPearl Delima Red\n dan \nPearl Diamond White; Metallic\n \u2013 \nCobalt Blue, Granite Grey\n dan \nGlittering Silver\n.

Honda has officially launched the all-new Honda WRV in Malaysia. Dubbed the Winsome Runabout Vehicle, will this compact, seven-seater SUV win the hearts of Malaysians?\u00a0\n\n\nCurrently, the WRV\u2019s competitor in Malaysia is the Perodua Ativa which has been reigning in the B-segment SUV market since 2021. Here\u2019s a side-by-side comparison to see if the brand-new WRV or a used Perodua Ativa is right for you.\n\n\nRead more: \nThe Cheapest Urban SUV but Is It for You?\n\n\nHonda WRV Exterior\u00a0\n\n\nThe front profile is reminiscent of the 2022 Honda HRV with its slim, trapezoidal, headlights and a weave-like hexagonal grille design. The front and rear bumpers are equipped with skid plates, which is an interesting feature considering this is commonly found on trucks.\u00a0\n\n\nMoving onto the side, the Honda WRV has a conjoined plastic skirt trim that extends from the front to the rear. The side profile of the WRV has much more aggressive flared fender arches, giving it a much more fierce design compared to this boxier cousin, the Honda HRV.\n\n\nHere are the dimensions of the brand-new Honda WRV compared to the roadgoing Perodua Ativa:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Ativa\n\n\nHonda WRV\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLength\n\n\n4,605 mm\n\n\n4,060 mm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWidth\n\n\n1,710 mm\n\n\n1,780 mm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHeight\n\n\n1,635 mm\n\n\n1,608 mm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWheelbase\n\n\n2,525 mm\n\n\n2,485 mm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTire Size\n\n\n205/60 R17\n\n\n215/55R17\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nHonda HR-V, The SUV you never knew you Needed\n\n\nHonda WRV Interior\u00a0\n\n\nStepping inside the car and you\u2019ll find similar design cues from various Honda models in Malaysia. The steering and the dashboard design are carried over from the FC/10th generation Honda Civic. On the other hand, the gear knob looks similar to the sixth-generation Honda City. For what it\u2019s worth, the WRV bags a bargain with its luscious cabin space and excellent driver-oriented ergonomics for comfort. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Ativa\n\n\nHonda WRV\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInfotainment System\n\n\n7-inch touchscreen\n\n\n7-inch Audio touchscreen display\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAirbags\n\n\n6\n\n\n4\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNumber of Seats\n\n\n5\n\n\n7\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoot Volume\n\n\n380L\n\n\n303-369L\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEngine Specifications\n\n\nWhile the Ativa wins in size, the Honda WRV triumphs in raw power. Inside the Honda WRV lies a naturally aspirated, four-cylinder engine similarly found on the ongoing Honda City.\u00a0 The four-cylinder engine currently makes 121 PS and 145 Nm. All the power is sent to the front wheels via a CVT transmission. Unlike its Indonesian counterpart, there is no hybrid variant at launch, perhaps Honda will follow up with a facelift version sometime soon. Standard-issue brakes across all variants are two front disc brakes and two drum brakes on the rear.\u00a0\n\n\nHere is the reported performance of the Honda WRV compared with the Perodua Ativa:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Ativa\n\n\nHonda WRV\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEngine\n\n\nTurbocharged three-cylinder\u00a0\n\n\nNaturally aspirated four-cylinder\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFuel Capacity\n\n\n1.0L\u00a0\n\n\n1.5L\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHorsepower (PS)\n\n\n98\n\n\n121\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTorque (NM)\n\n\n140\n\n\n145\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTransmission\n\n\nCVT\n\n\nCVT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSafety Features\u00a0\n\n\nThe all-new Honda WRV has a few tricks up its sleeve to woo Malaysian buyers. First off, you get your basic hill start assist, ISOFIX, front/rear reverse cameras, and vehicle stability assist (VSC). Power steering, traction control, and anti-lock braking system (ABS) come standard across all ranges.\u00a0\n\n\nNow onto the additional safety features not found in the Perodua Ativa, the Honda WRV has a rear seatbelt warning, walk-away auto lock, and Honda Lane Watch. The Honda WRV also gets the signature Honda SENSING treatment. This driver assistance technology comes with lane departure warning, road departure mitigation, lane keep assist system, forward collision warning, collision mitigation braking system, auto high beam, adaptive cruise control, and lead car departure notification system.\u00a0\n\n\nRead more: \nDolphins, Coffins, Sharks and Crab Hondas?

Bagi sesetengah individu, memiliki kenderaan sendiri tidak kiralah sama ada kereta baru atau kereta terpakai kini bukan lagi suatu kehendak tetapi suatu keperluan lebih-lebih lagi jika tinggal di kawasan dengan rangkaian pengangkutan awam yang terhad. Kereta baru atau kereta terpakai mempunyai kebaikan dan keburukan yang tersendiri. Perkara yang paling utama sebelum membeli dan memiliki kereta idaman adalah mengenal pasti kemampuan kewangan masing-masing untuk mengelakkan diri daripada terbeban dengan bebanan hutang. Carsome berkongsi dengan anda kereta baru dan terpakai yang boleh anda miliki dengan nilai wang yang hampir sama iaitu sebanyak RM50K.\n\n\nPerodua Myvi Baru vs. Toyota Vios Terpakai\n\n\nPerodua Myvi baru yang merupakan penerima \nanugerah Kereta Nilai Terbaik untuk Wang\n atau \nBest Value-for-Money Car of the Year\n menawarkan julat harga yang menarik dan berpatutan untuk bakal pemilik kereta. Kereta \nhatchback\n segmen B ini boleh didapati pada harga sekitar RM41,000 hingga RM53,000 bergantung pada varian. Harga permulaan \nPerodua Myvi baru\n 1.3L ialah RM41,000 manakala harga Perodua Myvi 1.5L pula bermula pada RM50,000 dan ke atas.\n\n\n\n\nSpesifikasi Standard dan Ciri Keselamatan Myvi Baru\n\n\nPerodua Myvi telah mendominasi segmen kereta paling laris pilihan pengguna di Malaysia. Model Myvi generasi baru meneruskan momentum model sebelumnya dengan pilihan enam (6) beg udara SRS, Kawalan Kestabilan Kenderaan (\nVehicle Stability Control\n), Kawalan Cengkaman (\nTraction Control\n), \nSistem Brek Antikunci (\nAnti-lock Braking System\n) dengan Pengagihan Brek Elektronik (\nElectronic Brake-force Distribution\n).\n\n\nSelain itu, Perodua Myvi baru turut dilengkapi dengan Bantuan Pemanduan Selamat (Advanced Safety Assist 2.0) yang merujuk pada ciri keselamatan yang membantu mengurangkan kemalangan pada kelajuan perlahan dan sederhana. Ciri keselamatan ini bertindak balas melalui kamera stereo yang dipasang pada cermin depan. ASA 2.0 mempunyai 4 fungsi keselamatan seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmaran Prapelanggaran (\nPre-Collision Warning\n, PCW) \u2013 sehingga 30 km/j\n\n\nBrek Prapelanggaran (\nPre-Collision Braking\n, PCB) \u2013 sehingga 30 km/j\n\n\nAmaran Pergerakan Hadapan (\nFront Departure Alert\n)\n\n\nKawalan Kesilapan Pedal (\nPedal Misoperation Control\n)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCiri-ciri ini secara tidak langsung mengatasi semua pesaing dalam kategori \nhatchback\n segmen B sedia ada di pasaran seperti Proton Iriz.\n\n\n\n\nNamun begitu, bagi anda yang mungkin sedang mempertimbangkan kereta terpakai dalam lingkungan bajet yang sama dengan harga Perodua Myvi baru, anda mungkin boleh mempertimbangkan Toyota Vios sebagai pilihan anda. \nToyota Vios\n \ngenerasi ketiga baru dijual di pasaran pada harga bermula RM77,200 dan ke atas. Varian paling tinggi dijual pada harga bermula RM87,300 dan harga ini adalah harga atas jalan tidak termasuk insurans.\n\n\nNamun begitu, Toyota Vios terpakai yang berusia kurang daripada lima (5) tahun boleh didapati pada harga sekitar Rm40,000 hingga RM50,000 bergantung pada jenis varian dan tahun pengeluaran.

This iconic B-segment hatchback is well-loved by Malaysians as proven by its sales numbers over the years. In fact, it was the best-selling car in Malaysia between 2006 and 2013, which is eight consecutive years! It reached an impressive milestone of passing 1 million units sold in 2017 and was again Malaysia\u2019s best-selling car in 2020.\n\n\nBack when it was first introduced in 2005, the Perodua Myvi was an outlier in a market dominated by sedans. However, its compact form, spacious interior, and affordable price quickly made it a household name among Malaysians and the rest was history.\n\n\nFirst Generation Perodua Myvi (M300) \u2013 Where It All Started\n\n\n\n\nImage source: \nFacebook\n\n\nThe first generation \nPerodua Myvi\n was based on the M300 Daihatsu Boon or Sirion. It was a new addition to \nPerodua\u2019s\n lineup which mainly consisted of smaller A-segment cars at the time. The Myvi was first offered in two engine options; a 1.0L 3-cylinder and a 1.3L 4-cylinder engine. Prices started from RM41,000 for the 1.0L version and from RM45,000 for the 1.3L version. Both engine options had Dynamic Variable Valve Timing (DVVT) and electronic fuel injection (EFI). The 1.0L version produced a maximum power of 43 kW and a maximum torque of 88 Nm while the 1.3L engine produced a maximum power of 64 kW and a maximum torque of 116 Nm.\n\n\nJust like the current generation car, the Myvi back then had a deceivingly compact body yet was spacious inside which made it the perfect car for use on Malaysian roads. It also had a soft exterior styling with rounded curves that made it look cute and approachable for many Malaysians from all walks of life. Notable features at the time included an immobilizer system, dual airbags as standard, anti-lock braking system (ABS), and a pedestrian-safe body construction.\n\n\nIconic First Gen Facelift\n\n\n\n\nIn 2008, the Perodua Myvi received a facelift with modified front and rear bumpers, grille, new alloy rims, dashboard, instrument panel design, fabric seats, and a new infotainment system with MP3/WMA, USB, and Bluetooth support. The facelifted versions continued to be the best-selling cars in Malaysia and Perodua later launched three special edition Myvis in this generation with mostly cosmetic updates; a \u201cSpecial Edition\u201d in October 2008, an \u201cExclusive Edition\u201d in October 2009, and a \u201cLimited Edition\u201d in July 2010. Out of the three, the first \u201cSpecial Edition\u201d has to be the most recognizable with its iconic orange paint job, darker headlights, and a full body kit with a rear spoiler.\n\n\nSecond Generation Myvi (M600)\n\n\nIn 2011, Perodua launched the second generation \nMyvi\n, this time based on the M600 Daihatsu Boon. However, Perodua injected its own design into the car with sharper headlights and taillights, a redesigned front bumper, and sharper wheel arches giving it a sportier and classier look.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThis generation brought a host of improvements with the biggest being an upgrade to the engine options. The 1.0L engine was replaced with a 1.3L and 1.5L engine both with DVVT and EFI. The 1.5L produced more power at 75 kW and more torque at 136 Nm. \nPerodua\n also created new taglines for its cars, with \u201c\nLagi Best\u201d\n \nfor the Myvi 1.3 and \n\u201cLagi Power, Lagi Best\u201d\n \nfor the Myvi 1.5. Although the external length of the Myvi was reduced this generation, Perodua managed to increase the interior length by 15 mm retaining the Myvi\u2019s exceptional practicality.\n\n\nBesides dual SRS airbags, this generation Myvi had 3-point Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) seatbelts instead of the 2-points in the previous generation. It also had ISOFIX as standard, ABS, and electronic brake distribution (EBD). The Myvi also received upgraded equipment and features inside the cabin. The two biggest interior changes were the redesigned instrument cluster and center dashboard. The new instrument cluster now had a large central speedometer that\u2019s easy to read at a glance and the center dashboard now housed the automatic gear lever. The higher range variants featured a new 6-inch touchscreen display audio system.\n\n\nSecond Gen Myvi Facelift\n\n\n\n\nThe second-generation Myvi later got a mid-life facelift in 2015 with more style and equipment upgrades. Outside, it received design touch-ups on the front grille, bumpers, and wheels, while the interior saw a host of upgrades. For instance, the range-topping Myvi 1.5 Advance received a multimedia infotainment system with navigation and a reverse camera as well as leather-wrapped semi-bucket seats. Also new are front corner sensors, anti-snatch hooks, and a retractable cup holder below the driver\u2019s right air conditioning vent.\u00a0\n\n\nThe facelifted 1.5L variants even received projector headlights with guide lights, which was a first for a Malaysian-made B-segment car. Even with all these features, the Myvi was priced from RM41,500 to RM59,000, providing excellent value and further cementing its position as the best-selling car in Malaysia.\n\n\nThird Generation Perodua Myvi (M800) \u2013 The Best Yet\n\n\n\n\nThe third-generation \nPerodua Myvi\n was launched in November 2017 and was probably the most awaited version, for good reason. It\u2019s the first Myvi to be designed fully in-house by \nPerodua\n with \nToyota\n and Daihatsu only providing the engines and technical advice. It has totally revamped styling with Perodua\u2019s new design language and is longer, wider, and lower than the outgoing model. It\u2019s priced from RM41,292 to RM52,697 meaning it\u2019s just as affordable as ever.\n\n\nThe third-generation Myvi is offered with 1.3L and 1.5L engine options with double overhead camshaft (DOHC) and dual variable valve timing (Dual VVT-i). The engines are also tuned by Perodua to improve fuel efficiency which enabled them to acquire an Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) certification, previously only available on the \nAxia\n \nand \nBezza\n. Although it\u2019s more fuel-efficient than the previous generation, these engines have\u00a0 better performance with the 1.3L producing 70 kW of power and 121 Nm of torque, while the 1.5L engine produces 76 kW of power and 136 Nm of torque.\n\n\nRead: \nEverything You need to know about the Third Gen Perodua Myvi\n\n\nIntroducing Even More Safety Features\n\n\nThe most significant changes in the Myvi are new safety features. Four airbags now come as standard while higher variants get six of them. Also standard on all variants are ABS, EBD, brake assist (BA), vehicle stability control (VSC), and traction control (TRC), another first for Malaysian-made B-segment cars. The range-topping 1.5 AV model gets Perodua\u2019s Advanced Safety Assist (A.S.A.) which includes Pre-Collision Warning (PCW), Pre-Collision Braking (PCB), Front Departure Alert (FDA), and Pedal Misoperation Control (PMC). All these features helped the Myvi obtain a five-star ASEAN NCAP (New Car Assessment Program) rating making it a great car for families. And of course, the Myvi still boasts a spacious interior and new 60:40 folding rear seats for extra boot space.\n\n\nThird Gen Myvi 2022 Facelift\n\n\n\n\nThe mid-life facelift for the third-gen Myvi was unveiled on 18 November 2021 which added even more improvements to Malaysia\u2019s best-selling car including the much-awaited Perodua Smart Drive Assist (PSDA) which is available on all variants except the base 1.3L G. PSDA includes Advanced Safety Assist 3.0 (A.S.A. 3.0), Adaptive\u00a0 Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Blind Spot Monitoring System (BMS), and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)Notable updates on the exterior are vertical LED daytime running lights (DRLs) on the front bumper, a more angular bumper with sharper lines similar, and a slightly reworked rear bumper. There\u2019s also a new color option for the top-spec 1.5 AV which is Cranberry Red.\n\n\nThe facelift cost Perodua RM50 million to develop and sees a slight price bump over the outgoing model. There are five variants; the base 1.3 G, 1.3 G with PSDA, 1.5 X, 1.5 H, and 1.5 AV with prices ranging from RM45,700 to RM58,800. It retains the same engine as before but with a new continuously variable transmission (CVT) which helps to improve fuel economy to 4.8 L/100 km.\n\n\nInside, the 1.5 AV Myvi gets black and red leather seats while other variants get updated fabric seats. There\u2019s also a new meter cluster with a colored digital multi-info display, a larger 6.9-inch infotainment screen, refreshed trim, and a new Power Mode button on the steering wheel. The Power button, carried over from the Ativa, gives the car a slight boost in acceleration, perfect for overtaking on the highway. The range-topping 1.5 AV gets an integrated driving video recorder (dashcam) as standard.\n\n\nThe \nPerodua Myvi\n has gone through many improvements over the years. And the third-generation car with its sleek styling, EEV certification, and long list of safety features, is easily the best value Myvi yet. It has been among the best-selling cars in Malaysia since its debut and if it continues to innovate and punch above its weight, the Myvi will keep on being a favorite for many Malaysians.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for \nsecond-hand cars\n but are not sure where to start, check out CARSOME!

Notably, its reputation for causing a lot of ruckus in the country. Colloquially, the Myvi has been dubbed as Malaysia\u2019s First Supercar as a joke. Have you ever noticed when we break the news about a car accident to someone else, we are quick to assume there\u2019s a Myvi involved?\u00a0\n\n\nTo add salt to the wound, there\u2019s a Facebook group called \nMyvi Buat Hal Apa Hari Ini?\n (What Mischief is the Myvi Up To Today?) making waves from user-generated content documenting the shenanigans of Myvi drivers. Dare I say, the Perodua Myvi is the Ford Mustang of Malaysia.\n\n\n\n\nOk, perhaps we may be overselling here but if you\u2019re in the car community long enough, I\u2019m sure you have seen enough memes about Ford Mustangs \ngetting into accidents\n. Our Myvis here has gotten a similar reputation. Mustangs in the US are infamous for crashing due to user error operating a cheap, rear-wheel drive (RWD), high-torque V8 engine at the hands of an inexperienced driver. On the other hand, Myvis are famous for, well, just about the same as the Mustang. But how can a little three, four-cylinder engine inside a little economy car go toe-to-toe with an American-built V8 coupe? We have to understand the Perodua Myvi\u2019s background and platform first.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WoAPdNGvvQ\n\n\nRead More: \nHow Does A Turbocharger Work and How Does It Benefit My Car?\n\n\nA Short History of the Platform\n\n\nLike all Malaysian cars that are rebadged, the Perodua Myvi started as the Daihatsu Boon in Japan in 2004 for the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM). The Boon, or Sirion in Indonesia and other markets was to fit the niche for an everyday-driven city car. This B-segment hatchback came to Malaysian shores all the way back in May 2005 as a \njoint venture\n between Perodua and Daihatsu. According to Perodua, Myvi is a portmanteau of My Vehicle, My Vision.\u00a0\n\n\nClockwise from top left to right: Perodua Myvi, Toyota Passo, Subaru Justy, Daihatsu Boon\n\n\nWhen Perodua first launched the Myvi, it was met with \npositive feedback\n from the public and reviews. Priced at just under RM52,000 in 2005, it was a car designed by Malaysians for Malaysians. Most Malaysians at that time only had the Proton Saga, Wira, or the Perodua Kancil. But when Proton\u2019s sedans are too large, and the Perodua Kancil\u2019s 660cc engine capacity is too small to travel between interstates, the Myvi serves its role as the middle ground. Proton tried to take a slice of the cake with the Savvy and Iriz but its Achilles heel was they both \nchugged petrol like water\n, leaving the Myvi triumph in the local B-segment hatchbacks.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nThe Evolution of the Perodua Myvi\n\n\nIt Was So Cheap, Everyone Can Afford It\n\n\nPurchasing a Perodua Myvi is a pathway to many abilities some drivers would consider unnatural. It had everything we Malaysians could have asked for \u2013 low price, excellent fuel economy, reliability, and loaded with a full suite of safety features. You can thank Toyota for putting their Midas touch on it. Parts in the aftermarket are all easy to source, and a no-brainer to install as long as it\u2019s from the Daihatsu and Toyota families.\n\n\nIt became the best-selling car in Malaysia for \n12 consecutive years\n straight! As of 2021, Perodua has reported the company has sold a total of \n1.3 million units\n from their sales report. Even in the used market, the Myvi still retains a very high resale value. No domestic branded car has achieved such a feat.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO2AwrbtK4M\n\n\nThe Perodua Myvi has cemented itself as the de-facto choice for plenty of Malaysians who just want to get their own transport at an affordable price. If you want a small car that is cheap and gets the job done, you get a Myvi. It\u2019s a no-brainer decision. Every Ali, Muthu, and Ah Chong soon got their hands on one. Just like the Mustang in America, any high school student with a driving license can afford it due to how cheap it is over there.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nHere Are the Cars with the Best Resale Value in Malaysia for 2023!\n\n\nThe Inner Workings of the Perodua Myvi\n\n\nSmall Engine with Big Dreams\u00a0\n\n\nAll three generations are powered by either a 1.0L three-cylinder engine or a 1.4L-1.5L four-cylinder engine with the latter being more common on the streets. Across all three generations, the Myvi averages around 85 hp/120 Nm to 102 hp/136 Nm, nailing the century sprint in just under 12 seconds. The Myvi\u2019s can be had with either a five-speed manual, a four-speed automatic, and recently, a Dual Mode Continuous Variable Transmission (D-CVT) although the stick shift has been phased out for the third generation.\u00a0\n\n\nIf that doesn\u2019t seem impressive compared to the Mustang\u2019s powerful V8 engine, we need to understand fast cars aren\u2019t all just numbers. \nColin Chapman\n, the founder of Lotus cars believes in the philosophy of lightweight cars being competitive when racing against powerful or heavy cars by being fast in corners.\u00a0\n\n\nModern engines, and occasionally with the aid of turbocharging can help \nsmall engines pack a punch\n giving big displacement engines a run for their money. Unlike its Japanese cousins, the Myvi gets no turbo for the Malaysian market. However, it\u2019s uncommon for people to swap in the turbocharged Daihatsu Boon\u2019s engine or install a bolt-on turbo kit to make extra power. Similar to the Mustang, a quick search online or consult an aftermarket specialist and you\u2019ll find all sorts of ways to make power on a budget.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgHCNWTQGrs\n\n\nLightweight Chassis and Geographical Difference\n\n\nPerhaps the Perodua Myvi\u2019s triumph card is that the whole car weighs just under 1020 kgs, allowing the little hatchback to be nimble around corners. Moreover, a lighter car means the engine doesn\u2019t need to work that hard to get it moving. Maybe that\u2019s why the Myvi is such a sought-after platform for car tuners to send it up Genting or \nSepang Circuit.\n A lightweight car and a small, capable engine is a match made in heaven for \nfuel efficiency\n and excellent handling.\u00a0\n\n\nAlas, it\u2019s important to note that these two cars are built and designed in two vastly different geographical locations. If we compare cars made in Asia and cars made in America, they both differ in design language and purpose. Asian cars are made to be small and efficient, with an emphasis on handling to drive in a country with a small land mass while American cars are built large to have enough fuel capacity to navigate around a country with a massive land mass. The Ford Mustang is just a beefed-up, rear-wheel drive Myvi with a larger displacement and output.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/U_Tgg7eL7GI\n\n\nIn short, the reason why Myvi got so famous for causing trouble is because of how cheap and easy it is for anyone to buy one and modify it. Pairing up with a high sales volume and statistically, the chances of seeing one getting caught in the web would be equally high.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking to get a supercar yourself, feel free to peruse our collection of Perodua Myvi for sale here at CARSOME!\n\n\nBrowse Here: \nPerodua Myvi For Sale\n\n\nDisclaimer: CARSOME does not condone any illegal activities such as street racing, driving dangerously, and installing illegal modifications in your car.\u00a0\n\n\nThis content was originally posted on \nWapcar\u2019s Tiktok\n.\u00a0\n\n", "Tags\nCar Review\nDriving\nLearning Centre\nModifications\nMyvi\nPerodua\nTop Cars", "Brian Wong", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Fuel efficiency is admirable, and Perodua has always made it a point to include timely technology updates with the model as the years go by.\u00a0\n\n\nWithout a doubt, the Myvi is one car that knows what drivers like \u2013 and that also includes having an attractive price tag.\n\n\nMyvi price: value for money\u00a0\n\n\nAmong the many awards this car has won, one such was the \u2018best Value-for-Money Car of the Year\u2019 at the annual Frost & Sullivan Malaysia Excellence Awards.\u00a0\n\n\nThe price of Perodua Myvi is a sensible and economical choice for potential car owners. In general, the Myvi falls under the B-segment hatchback category and has a price range of RM 41,000 \u2013 RM 53,000 \u2013 the starting price tag is for a brand new 1.0 litre model, while 1.3 litre versions essentially range from RM45,000 and above.\u00a0\n\n\nOf course, the Myvi price fluctuates according to the variant, features, specs and whether it is new or used.\n\n\nMyvi Price Vs Features \n\n\nMyvi Price for Year 2020, on the road without insurance + the 2020 sales tax exemption.\n \u00a0\n\n\nThe Perodua Myvi received an update in 2020, and with it comes some new Myvi prices.\u00a0\nThe cheapest Myvi price is now the manual variation with the base 1.3 G MT engine \u2013 sold at RM41, 292. Next in line are the auto variations, with the 1.3 G priced at RM43, 029, while the 1.3 X is sold at RM44,959.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe highest model in the 1.3 engine litre variation also comes with the option of having Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) 2.0 with it \u2013 this feature is a suite of driver assistance safety systems. It includes Pre-Collision Warning (PCW, up to 30 km/h), Pre-Collision Braking (PCB, up to 30 km/h), Front Departure Alert and Pedal Misoperation Control. Just pay RM2,000 more \u2013 so RM46,959 in total \u2013 and you get to enjoy these extra safety features with your Myvi 1.3 X.\u00a0\n\n\nThe ASA 2.0 comes as a standard for all 1.5 engine litre variants across the range. The price for a Myvi 1.5 H is RM50,530 and, lastly, the top 1.5 AV is sold at RM52,697. The main difference between the two is that the latter comes with enhanced and luxury finishing \u2013 namely leather seats and steering, reverse camera, touchscreen head unit with navigation and SmartLink. A beautifully leveled-up Myvi of sorts.\n\n\nUsed Myvi Price\u00a0\n\n\nLooking to enjoy premium features and finishing, along with advanced safety, at an even more beautiful and affordable Myvi price? We\u2019ve got four words for you: consider buying used Myvi cars.\n\n\n\n\nTake a look at \nCarsome\u2019s list\n and you\u2019ll find several units of Myvis for sale \u2013 and at good deals too. Used car prices are determined by several factors, such as the condition of the car, age, mileage, length of warranty, and so forth. While the exact numbers or percentage for a secondhand Myvi, here is a rough guide:\n\n\n\n\nA used 2011 Myvi SXi 1.3 \u2013 Manual is sold for RM9,888 onwards, as compared to its original Myvi price of RM43,900.\n\n\nSecondhand 2014 Myvi cars with 1.3L engines are currently sold from RM29,000 onwards, almost half of its original Myvi price of RM43,000 and above.\n\n\nA used 2018 Myvi with 1.5L engine can be bought from RM33,800 onwards, as compared to its original Myvi price of RM51,800\n\n\n\n\nCheaper price options, but still boasting the benefits of a Myvi? Yes!\n\n\nWhether you decide to be the proud owner of a brand new 2020 Myvi or go the more economical, wallet-friendly route and opt for an older and used Myvi, rest assured this Malaysian icon will not disappoint.

Model ini suatu ketika dahulu boleh dilihat di mana-mana dan biasanya digunakan oleh golongan peniaga kecil untuk menjaja di tepi jalan atau meniaga di pasar malam. Van kompak ini merupakan hasil pembuatan semula versi tempatan yang dipasarkan untuk penggunaan komersial dan persendirian, dan boleh memuatkan antara 2 hingga 7 orang bergantung pada jenis varian.\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Rusa: Mikrovan Pertama Keluaran Automotif Tempatan\n\n\nPerodua Rusa direka berdasarkan model Daihatsu Zebra dan Daihatsu Hijet Maxx. Mula dilancarkan pada 6 Mac 1996, Perodua Rusa ialah model van pertama yang dihasilkan oleh syarikat pengeluar automotif tempatan Malaysia, Perodua. Model pertama Rusa menampilkan enjin 1.3 liter, diikuti oleh model enjin 1.6 liter pada 14 Mei 1997. Perodua Rusa menampilkan tiga pilihan varian:\n\n\n\n\nCX \u2013 1.3 liter, versi dua tempat duduk;\n\n\nEX \u2013 1.3 liter, versi lima tempat duduk;\n\n\nGX \u2013 1.6 liter, versi tujuh tempat duduk.\n\n\n\n\nKebiasaannya, varian CX digunakan sebagai kenderaan barangan, manakala varian EX dan GX digunakan sebagai kenderaan persendirian. Pada mulanya, logo asal van ini ialah seekor rusa sebelum ia digantikan dengan logo rasmi Perodua.\n\n\nSpesifikasi Perodua Rusa\n\n\nPerodua Rusa merupakan hasil\n rebadge\n daripada model kereta jenama Jepun yang merupakan hasil kerjasama antara Perodua dan Daihatsu. Ia menampilkan ciri-ciri yang hasil sama seperti Daihatsu Zebra dan perbezaan yang ketara dapat dilihat antaranya pada bahagian lampu depan. Dari segi prestasi dan keupayaan enjin pula, Carsome menyenaraikan spesifkasi lengkap Perodua Rusa seperti berikut untuk panduan anda:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Rusa\n\n\nCX\n\n\nEX\n\n\nGX\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKapasiti Tempat Duduk\n\n\n2\n\n\n5\n\n\n7\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJenis Enjin\n\n\nEnjin petrol HD-C, in-line 4 silinder\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOutput Maksimum\n\n\n54 kW (73 PS) pada 6,000 rpm\n\n\n60\u00a0kW (82\u00a0PS) at 5,600 rpm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTork Maksimum\n\n\n92 Nm at 3200 rpm\n\n\n115 Nm at 3200 rpm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTransmisi\n\n\n5 MT\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKapasiti Tangki Minyak (liter)\n\n\n47\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKelajuan Maksimum (km/j)\n\n\n133\n\n\n143\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPenggunaan Bahan Bakar (liter) \u2013 Kelajuan seragam 90 km/j\n\n\n12.7\n\n\n13.2\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Ruza \u2013 Gambaran Ilustrasi Digital Perodua Rusa Generasi\u00a0Terbaharu?\n\n\nMeskipun kebanyakan pengguna hari ini beralih kepada penggunaan MPV atau SUV yang lebih moden dan besar seperti seperti Toyota Avanza, Proton Exora dan Perodua Alza, model ini masih lagi popular dan digunakan sehingga ke hari ini. Perodua Rusa cukup sinonim dalam kalangan peniaga pasar malam, ia menampilkan ruang belakang yang luas yang boleh menempatkan dan memuatkan bermacam-macam jenis barangan pelbagai saiz. Malah, pelancaran mikrovan Daihatsu Gran Max generasi baharu di Jepan secara tidak langsung mencetuskan khabar angin mengenai kemunculan semula Perodua Rusa dalam pasaran tempatan.\n\n\nBerdasarkan ilustrasi digital Theophilus Chin, Rusa baharu dibina berdasarkan Daihatsu Gran Max 2020 yang memasuki pasaran Jepun pada 4 September 2020. Menariknya, model ini dipasang di kilang milik P.T. Astra Daihatsu Motor di Indonesia. Daihatsu Gran Max 2020 baharu dibina berdasarkan model Daihatsu Hijet dan Zebra (model pertama Rusa dibina berdasarkan kedua-dua model ini).\n\n\nKredit: \nInstagram\n\n\nIlustrasi Digital Theophilus Chin, Pereka Kenderaan Maya Tempatan\n\n\nSelain itu, beliau turut menggantikan huruf \u2018s\u2019 kepada \u2018z\u2019, sama seperti anagram Perodua Aruz. Perodua Ruza baharu ini menampilkan ciri-ciri SUV moden dengan rekaan yang lebih unik. Model ini dijanakan oleh enjin 2NR-VE 1.5 liter, enjin yang sama turut digunakan oleh model \nPerodua Aruz\n \ndan Myvi. Ia turut digandingkan dengan pilihan transmisi manual lima kelajuan dan automatik empat kelajuan. Selain itu, ia juga menawarkan pilihan pacuan roda hadapan dan pacuan semua roda bergantung pada jenis varian yang dipilih.\n\n\nKredit: \ndsf.my\n\n\nBahagian bampar hadapan diperkemas dengan menampilkan rupa hadapan yang lebih ranggi, gril panel hitam yang lebih besar serta logo Perodua untuk menyuntik gaya kenderaan komersial ringan. Selain itu, pemegang pintu depan dan belakang pula disesuaikan dengan warna badan kenderaan, tidak mengunakan kemasan hitam seperti Daihatsu Gran Max. Di bahagian sisi pula, Perodua Ruza dilengkapi dengan rim\n sport\n dengan kemasan dwitona, skirt sisi dan pelapik pada sisi pintu.\n\n\nBahagian belakang pula tidak banyak beza dengan model asal \u2013 ada perbezaan pada bahagian logo, emblem serta kemasan berwarna hitam pada bar belakang. Lampu belakang juga tampil lebih garang dengan bentuk yang tajam. Tidak dinafikan, pelancaran Perodua Ruza merupakan suatu berita gembira terutamanya dalam kalangan peniaga-peniaga kecil. Malah, tidak keterlaluan jika dikatakan sehingga saat ini masih belum ada mikrovan tempatan yang mampu milik dijual di pasaran.\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda sedang mempertimbangkan untuk \nmenjual kereta lama\u00a0\ndan berminat untuk \nmendapatkan\u00a0kereta terpakai\n baharu, layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

In 2001, he made history as the first Malaysian and second South-East Asian to drive in Formula 1 with the European Minardi F1 team.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSince then Alex has participated in the A1 GP, 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup and currently in his fifth year at the Audi R8 LMS Cup \u2013 a current back-to-back champion for 2014 and 2015 with the Audi TEDA Racing Team. But for Alex, it isn\u2019t just motor sports. Coming from a family active in sports, he and his younger siblings took home a total seven medals at the Singapore SEA Games last year. With lots more in store for him in the future, Alex shares with us briefly on how he began in motor sports.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCongratulations on your back to back Audi Cup win. What message would you give to Malaysians interested to pursue a career in motor racing?\n\n\nAY: Be very nice to your parents if you want to pursue a career in Motorsports. It\u2019s pretty damn expensive and you\u2019ll need their help.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTell us how growing up was for you, and how you got yourself into a racing driver?\n\n\nAY: My Dad got me into racing as he was running the Shah Alam track at that time. Was very fortunate really, because which young boy didn\u2019t want to be a race car driver?\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhat gets you going on the track?\n\n\nAY: I love competing. It\u2019s all I\u2019ve ever wanted to do and as far as competition goes, nothing is as intense as racing a full field of speeding race cars.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat sparked the passion for cars?\n\n\nAY: I don\u2019t have a passion for cars as much as people think. Competition is what really whets my appetite.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\u201cI like a realistic approach to motor racing. I always approach each race and practice session with the goal to be the fastest. It\u2019s about focusing on the driving and getting the car right. If the results happen and I win, it\u2019s great.\u201d \u2013 Alex Yoong\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat car is your current favourite?\n\n\nAY: Audi R8 is pretty much my favourite. But in only Pink.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDo you have a practice or workout regime to prepare yourself before starting a race?\n\n\nAY: You have to be fit to compete like any other sport so it\u2019s important to make sure your regime preps you. This ensures that you peak at the right time. Namely in the race itself. Also make sure you pee as late as possible. A full bladder when the engine is revving while waiting for the lights to turn green is not fun.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nImages are copyright of Audi R8 LMS Cup\n\n", "Tags\nCars\nLifestyle", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

The new SUV, which was launched early last month, brings the vehicle\u2019s introduction to Malaysia early, ahead of Europe and China. At the recent launch, we managed to speak with Christophe Dupont, Managing Director of Renault Design Asia on the design language of the brand\u2019s current line-up. For the French automotive brand, the Koleos was designed and engineered in South Korea amongst the company\u2019s network of design studio\u2019s around the world.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe new Renault Koleos showcases the brand\u2019s latest design language also seen in the brand\u2019s current Megane and Talisman. Please share with us the details of this new style.\n\n\nCD: In 2009, our new design director Laurens Van Den Acker clarified the brand promise at Renault which paved the foundation for the new design. We are a human centric brand, and we make cars to make our customers\u2019 lives better as it is in our tagline \u201cPassion For Life\u201d. Historically, our cars have been innovative, practical and people oriented. The translation for the current design language is to make things simple, sensual and warm.\n\n\n\n\nFor the new Koleos, we already had two flagship D-segment cars \u2013 the Espace and Talisman which provided the framework for designing the Koleos. Except we also wanted it to bear the traditional SUV design cues as well. While the Talisman is handsome and elegant, Espace being forward looking and iconic, the Koleos is powerful, athletic and robust. Although each car share a similar design language, each has its own personality and flavour.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhere does the brand get its inspiration for its car designs?\n\n\nCD: When we design, we try to achieve three goals \u2013 modernity, functionality and identity. I feel that the combination of these three traits is what makes a great design. Modernity because a new product has to look fresh, contemporary and up to date. But it also can be achieved with leveraging new technologies, fabrication techniques and new technical solutions. This is what makes it the car of today.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nFunctionality is there because the product has to be used by people. If it doesn\u2019t function, it lacks a good design. Identity is what gives the soul and character to a product. When it comes to identity, I feel that it is the most challenging because compared to modernity and functionality, it is the emotional area of design.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nHow do you nurture the creativity of your designers at Renault?\n\n\nCD: We have a very multicultural design community, with over 30 nationalities represented in design. We think that this enhances the creativity of our organisation on a global level. On top of making sure our designers are passionate about cars, we also ensure that they are open to other design areas like product, fashion and architecture. We frequently send them out on trend missions, organised in groups of about 10, going out to major events in the art sector outside the field of automotive. They then return with trend inspirations that they can infuse into the designs.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to cars of the future, there seems to be a minimalist look to it across manufacturers. What are your thoughts on the future of car designs?\n\n\nCD: With regards to electric car designs, if you decide to put an electric drivetrain into a vehicle that was initially designed to be with a fuel-combustion engine, then there wouldn\u2019t be any freedom to express this change of technologies. But on the other hand, if you set out to design a car from the ground up, then you have a chance to modify the architecture of the vehicle to express more visibly the different drivetrains. For example, our Zoe is quite different compared to the mainstream line-up. But at the same time, it could be a fuel-combustion engine car, but this is taken with a different approach. We wanted to make this difference visible.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat do you think about Renault\u2019s latest Koleos?

The pop up on Waze app users will remind them of the 50 most accident-prone spots across Peninsula Malaysia which has been crowdsourced and contributed to provide better safety for drivers all around Malaysia. In light of this partnership, we speak to Edward Ling, Business Manager of Waze Malaysia on this partnership and why Waze commands a lead in navigation for users locally.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPlease tell us about your collaboration with Shell Malaysia on this Accident Spots-Alert and the aim for this partnership.\n\n\nIn the past we have collaborated with very specific advertising campaigns with Red Bull and Shell. But we decided this year to take the partnership to the next level. There were discussions on safety which was a big thing for Shell. So I was thinking that we could use some Waze data to emphasize this. We have met with government authorities like MIROS and year after year, all the road safety campaigns for Malaysia have not be successful as there have been increasing number of road deaths. We thought that two market leaders should do something since we have the ability to. So we decided to partner in this. We will evaluate the success of the campaign. There is a possibility that we can continue on for the next festive season of the next year.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe locations of accidents are based on historical accident data submitted by Waze users. How do you filter the data?\n\n\nYes there is a methodology where they aggregate the data and also the quality of it. We have a team which intelligently analyses data, filter out the fake reports and conclude the validation of the top 50 locations based on the volume of accidents. It is not necessarily fatalities which always have been a focus in the past. A lot of people don\u2019t realise that fatalities in vehicles are very serious, but the fact that accidents themselves however minor should be a concern to anyone on the road. That is why we aggregate the majority and all the accidents to come up with the top 50 accident spots. Within the app, we will send you a message or prompt that\u2019s relevant at the time \u2013 to drink some coffee, stay focussed, don\u2019t be distracted etc.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat does Waze actually do?\n\n\nYou can compare us to traditional GPS systems. But, the advantage for Waze is that we crowdsource for real time traffic. With Waze, as long as you launch your app and you have internet connectivity, it will download all the necessary data. Should you lose connectivity, like driving to a place that\u2019s remote or without much data, the previous downloaded data still remains accurate until you reconnect, and will redownload new updates. One of the misconceptions is that you can\u2019t continue on your journey without data, but this is wrong. As long as you initially fired up the app with a connection, the downloaded data will remain till the following data update. We don\u2019t have any collaborations with telco companies, but there is one that doesn\u2019t charge you for Waze data usage.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nHow do you decide on the importance of updates?\n\n\nWe are a community based app. A lot of feedback we get is from users. There is a group of map editors or any member of the public that chooses to be committed has the access to beta versions of Waze. They have the ability to provide feedback on our next build. So that\u2019s how we\u2019re able to determine which function we should launch first. But having said that, due to the huge number of ideas, we have to prioritise the most important first.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nEdward Ling, Business Manager of Waze Malaysia with Alex Lim, Marketing Manager for Shell Lubricants Malaysia and Singapore.\n\n\nWaze\u2019s acquisition by Google in 2013 brings both companies together as strong providers of navigation services. In your opinion, what are the benefits that Waze has over other navigation providers?\n\n\nThe main benefit of Waze is real time traffic. The founders of Waze made the app because they realised that traditional GPS systems just bring you to the fastest and shortest route. But the fastest is not necessarily determined as traditional GPS hardware does not receive any traffic data.We work very closely with Google Maps and provide this data to them which is used to colour roads by traffic conditions. On the other hand, in countries where Waze isn\u2019t popular, we take location information from Maps, which is usually added by the community. It is a cross collaboration which works very well and yet provides individual specific purposes.\n\n\nWaze is very specific for driving. While Google Maps can also be used for driving, you can also look at hotels, go for a walk, and even call Uber or Grab. We are very committed to drivers and that is what we\u2019ll continue to do.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nYou shouldn\u2019t panic if you\u2019ve just been in an accident, \nclick here\n to find out the Things To Do After Getting Into An Accident!\n\n", "Tags\nCars\nDriving\nEvents\nLifestyle", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

This year our very own Malaysian actor, producer and director Hans Isaac joins the line-up of six celebrities from around the region to test their skills, endurance and smarts in a variety of automotive challenges. Joining Hans this year for the show is Singaporean actor and comedian Munah Bagharib, Filipino Actors Diego Loyzaga and Xian Lim, Thai-Australian actor Matthew Deane and wife, Thai actress Lydia Sarunrat. We speak with Hans on this seasons\u2019 Celebrity Car Wars and his experience with cars.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat\u2019s different with this season compared to the previous two with Andrea Fonseka and Harith Iskander?\n\n\nHI: The program is set-up so that it\u2019s spontaneous. So every season is different and unique. For ours, it was the competitiveness between each other. But we weren\u2019t rude; we were professional; became friends; spent time together. The entertainment of us teasing each other and the unscripted nature of the programme makes it fun.\n\n\nFor example, at one of the challenges, we had a Jeepney race. What made it difficult was that the cars were owned by everyday Filipinos who uses the vehicles for a living. In the driver seat, there were tupperwares of his lunch and food. The driver also mentioned that he eats his lunch prepared by his wife, in between traffic lights. All these made me realise how fortunate we are. Knowing that these guys had to make a living out of their cars, I drove his car as carefully as I could because I didn\u2019t want to spoil someone else\u2019s livelihood.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat\u2019s your fondest memory and what does it mean to have a car?\n\n\nHI: Well like everybody, I couldn\u2019t afford one, hence why I always wanted one. When I got my first car, it was the start to my life. It got me to places that would allow me to earn a living, move my career forward and my direction in life. It\u2019s very important for a guy or girl to have a car. The freedom to move around is important to me. But the thing is, everytime you have a car, there\u2019s always looking forward for something better.\n\n\nBut it isn\u2019t about owning a car, it was about saying I\u2019ve moved forward and I can be able to have some luxury in life and it doesn\u2019t burden you.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTell us about your first car.\n\n\nHI: I had my first car when I was 20. It was the first Proton Saga with the small hubcaps. It was white. The price of the car was RM17,500. I wanted the RM19,000 variant but my dad said no. The car was a form for me taking responsibilities, which was what my dad did to me. We went to the shop and he put a couple thousand in deposit and told me that from today, the car was my responsibility. You\u2019ll have to pay for the gas, service, and if you damage it, it\u2019s yours (to bear). He believed we had to earn everything ourselves. I was proud of the car.\n\n\nAfter the Proton, I had saved a little bit, sold it and got myself a Mazda Lantis.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat would you like to drive?\n\n\nHI: I would love to drive in a Formula 1, a F2 or F3 single seater car. The set-up is very different than what we race on the track. So I was hoping (on CCW) that we would be doing a single seater race. I hope if they do, they\u2019ll invite me back next season for an episode.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat\u2019s your general advice for Malaysians on the road?\n\n\nHI: Be patient. Don\u2019t always think that being in front of somebody is better. Allow people to move into lanes. Take your time, it\u2019s ok to give way to someone. Also when you\u2019re angry or not in a good mood, don\u2019t drive. It is a cultured mindset that needs to change about traffic, laws, pedestrians on the road.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCelebrity Car Wars Season 3 is on History Asia, Astro Channel 575, every Sunday from 9\nth\n September 2018.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car through Carsome today and get the best prices through our bidding platform!\n\n", "Tags\nCars\nEvents\nLifestyle", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, the brand apart from tyres, also manufactures industrial rubber and chemical products, sporting goods, and other diversified products.\n\n\nIn Malaysia, Bridgestone Tyre Sales Malaysia is an affiliate of Bridgestone Corp and was set up in 2000 to provide exceptional customer service and provide quality products for Malaysians. We speak to Joe Takekawa, Managing Director for Bridgestone Malaysia on the status of the brand within the region, partnerships and sustainability.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nYou have a few range of tyres for passenger cars, mainly Potenza, Turanza and Ecopia among others. Where are the standings for each model, and how does each model contribute in total sales for Bridgestone SEA or APAC?\n\n\nJT:\n I would say ECOPIA tyres contributes the most in total sales for Bridgestone Asia Pacific markets.\u00a0 When ECOPIA was first launched in Asia Pacific in 2009, it was a new brand consisting of a single product, and made up 2% of the region\u2019s passenger car tyre sales.\n\n\nFrom 2012 to 2013 new ECOPIA products targeting a wider range of vehicles were introduced, leading to ECOPIA making up more than 20% of the region\u2019s replacement passenger tyre sales. Five years following its launch, ECOPIA passenger car tyres achieved sales of more than 10 million in the Asia Pacific region.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBridgestone in terms of global ranking, comes up top compared to other brands. What do you think contributes to the success of the company to make it a market leader?\n\n\nJT:\n Bridgestone operates businesses around the world and covers a broad range of business activities in multiple sectors. All these business activities are connected and demand consistency between Global/Regional strategies, while offering a unique portfolio of opportunities to develop initiatives that secure our competitive advantage not only in short-term but also in the mid-to-long term.\n\n\nThrough these opportunities and initiatives, we have identified four basic pillars on which to build up our competitive advantage in the China and Asia-Pacific Region. They are Brand, Business operations including go-to-market aggressive channel strategies, People and Corporate Social Responsibility. Let me take this opportunity to dwell a bit on two of them: Brand and People.\n\n\n\n\nBrand: Our strong commitment is to deliver our Brand promise in terms of products, services, and quality. The focus will be always on end-users/customers\u2019 requirements and expectations, with the target of creating added value for them through continuous innovation. In doing so we will capitalize our Brand portfolio (Bridgestone, Firestone, Dayton) by tailoring the relevant balance of performance-to-cost ratio in line with market segmentation.\n\n\nTo promote our products and services portfolio, we will also leverage the tremendous platform provided by our Olympic Top Partnership status contracted with the International Olympic Committee until year 2024 (We are the first and only Tyre & Rubber Company in the history so far). We already have in the pipeline initiatives and plans that will communicate a strong and effective brand message that will resonate across the Asia-Pacific region.\n\n\nPeople: Leadership style and Talent Management development are at the top of our agenda. We must have the right people on board and the right people on the right seats. The development of local talents to become capable of global management will also be in the forefront of our HR strategy. We are committed to capitalizing on the incredibly rich diversity that this region offers by promoting tailored training and education programs, while progressively assigning regional talents to key positions within the organization.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBridgestone has been popular supplying tyres for Formula 1 since the 90s and stopped in 2010. As of currently, the brand\u2019s only motorsport participation is in the Super GT championship. Are they any plans to continue motorsport participation of any sort? Both globally or through local races in Malaysia?\n\n\nJT:\n Bridgestone supports numerous teams, drivers, and riders in a variety of events from top-level races to grassroots motorsports. Among branding and marketing initiatives through various sports events, Bridgestone views motorsports as an important communication platform that is directly linked to its tyre business. Participating in motorsports, Bridgestone aims to create higher competitive tyres while working together with car and motorcycle manufacturers and other related parties to contribute to the development of the automobile industry and motorsport culture.\n\n\nThrough on-track knowledge and experience during tough and competitive top-level races, Bridgestone is able to enhance its tyre development capability.\n\n\nIn Japan, Bridgestone will supply tyres to teams competing in the SUPER GT for cars as well as in the All Japan Road Race Championship and the Suzuka 8hours Endurance Race for motorcycles. Bridgestone will also supply tyres to teams participating in FIM* Endurance World Championship series (EWC) which is the world\u2019s foremost series of endurance motorcycle races held in Europe and Japan.\n\n\nIn addition, as the official tyre supplier, Bridgestone will continue to provide Firestone brand tyres to the IndyCar Series in North America.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBridgestone also supports various grassroots motorsports, including the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing 86/BRZ Race, the ROADSTER Party Race III, and gymkhana races.\n\n\nThese are examples of Bridgestone\u2019s activities to increase the number of car fans. Through these grassroots motorsports, Bridgestone hopes to deliver enjoyable driving experiences. Moreover, Bridgestone continues to supply tyres to cars competing in N\u00fcrburgring 24 Hours Endurance Race held in Germany that gathers crowds of more than 200,000 spectators.\n\n\nBridgestone will primarily supply POTENZA brand tyres for car races and BATTLAX brand tyres for motorcycle races in pursuit of collaborative victory with teams, drivers, and riders.\n\n\nAlso in 2017, Bridgestone continuously supports the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge (October 8 to 15), a solar car race of teams from around the world competing on a route that spans across Australia. The company provides environmental technologies to support the student engineers taking part in this grueling race, which covers a 3,000 km course stretching from the north to the south of Australia.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nTyres are quite a difficult product to recycle. As a tyre company that has a focus on environmental concerns, what are Bridgestone\u2019s efforts to improve tyre waste? Are there interests to produce a tyre based on previous recycled tyres?\n\n\nJT:\n It is projected (by the WBCSD Tyre Industry Project) that approximately one billion used tyres will emerge worldwide each year. Reducing the environmental impact of used tyres is a common issue within the tyre industry.\n\n\nBridgestone has been involved in the Tyre Industry Project of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), which was established in 2006. As the tyre and rubber company, the Company has worked toward building a sustainable society in cooperation with other companies in the industry. This project aims to develop an effective management system for used tyres by encouraging related industries and governments in various countries to appropriately manage used tyres and reduce their environmental impact through the publication of \u201cEnd-of-Life Tyres (ELT): A Framework for Effective ELT Management Systems\u201d and disclosure of survey results.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJapan Automobile Tyre Manufacturers Association (JATMA) and many others in the tyre industry are working toward reducing (controlling the emergence of used tyres) and recycling used tyres, which is vital for the development of a society that recycles. More specifically, they implement monitoring of reduction factors focusing on making tyres lighter and longer lasting, monitoring of tyre recycling status and measures against illegal accumulation and dumping of waste tyres. According to a JATMA survey, the 2016 recycling rate of used tyres in Japan was 91%. Bridgestone contributes to reducing the environmental impact of used tyres in Japan through joint activities with JATMA.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nProjects in this region \n\n\nOperation of Facilities Oriented toward Recycling of Used Tyres\n\n\nBridgestone Tyre Japan Co., LTD. (BTJ) operates the Bridgestone Tyre Recycle Center Osaka. The center combines functions of a retread tyre*1\u00a0manufacturing facility and an intermediate used tyre*2\u00a0treatment facility in a single location, and it enables collection*3\u00a0of customers\u2019 used tyres, and reuse and recycling of all collected tyres. The center won the 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) Promotion Council President\u2019s Prize at the Fiscal 2015 3R Promotion Merit Awards in Japan. We will continue to work to use resources in a more sustainable way.\n\n\nTyres that are reused by replacing tread rubber\n\n\nCrushing of waste tyres that cannot be re-tread\n\n\nCollection areas include Osaka Prefecture and parts of Kyoto, Hyogo, Shiga and Wakayama Prefectures The Group also collects discarded tyres in accordance with established laws/regulations and procedures.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAustralia / New Zealand: Tyre Recycling \u2013 More Important Than You Think\n\n\n\n\nAt Bridgestone, we take the responsible disposal of end-of-life tyres very seriously and are 100% committed to helping increase the rate of tyre recycling here in Australia. And when so many useful things can be created using recycled tyres, why wouldn\u2019t you?\n\n\nRecycled tyres are often used to replace, enhance or extend the quality of materials across many markets including:\n\n\nRunning tracks and sporting grounds\n \u2013 Incorporating recycled rubber into running tracks assists with impact absorption, increases performance and reduces injury risks. It can also be placed under synthetic grass on sporting grounds, making it a softer place to fall.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBrake pads\n \u2013 Thanks to some relatively new technology now available in Australia, recycled rubber crumb can be repurposed to produce asbestos-free brake pads. These aren\u2019t as noisy and have improved wearability.\n\n\nBuilding insulation\n \u2013 For building purposes, recycled granulated rubber can be rolled into noise-reducing insulation. It\u2019s commonly used in units and apartments, both under flooring and in the walls.\n\n\nMatting and non-slip surfaces\n \u2013 A range of hard-wearing, long lasting matting products can be made from recycled rubber, including non-slip door mats and commercial workshop and kitchen mats. Recycled rubber granules can also be used to create marine non-slip surfaces, such as walkways on boats.\n\n\nCivil engineering\n \u2013 Recycled tyres are often used in civil engineering jobs, such as road and drain construction. Producing road surfaces using recycled rubber improves performance, reduces noise and increases the life span of our roads.\n\n\nFuel for energy recovery\n \u2013 Recycled rubber can be used to power the production of cement, steel and even paper!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nLooking to get a new car?

The Audi brand as it is known today, was one rebirthed after its current parent company Volkswagen acquired the name in 1965 and further merged it with NSU Motorenwerke AG in 1969, officially bringing the Audi brand into the modern era.\n\n\nSince then, the company has progressed over the years with involvement in motorsports like rallying, touring and the 24 Hours of Le Mans \u2013 the latter most being its greatest achievement with 13 manufacturer wins to date since 2000. Of course these recognition wins are, in part and parcel of the brand\u2019s renowned quattro all-wheel drive system that shined in two dozen WRC victories thanks to Audi\u2019s Quattro cars in various world rally events from 1981 to 1985.\n\n\n\n\nToday Audi has progressed technologically on its range of vehicles including the brand\u2019s latest introduction of its flagship second generation Q7 locally. With seven seats and a whole range of gizmo\u2019s inside, here\u2019s a review of the great quattro Audi.\n\n\nExterior\n\n\n\n\nIn dimensions, Audi\u2019s latest Q7 is a tad shorter and slimmer than its predecessor at 5.05 metres in length and 1.97 metres in width, but height has remained the same. Compared to the smoother lines and rounded edges on the previous, the current is evidently bolder with sharper lines that show off its athletic appeal. On the front, the singleframe grille with horizontal crossbar is wider and lower than before. With the LED headlights and daytime running lights paired as eyes on the Q7, the units with the turn signals form a double light guide arrow that is the brand\u2019s latest light signature for Audi\u2019s family identity.\n\n\n\n\nAt the rear, the instantly recognisable steeply raked D-pillars across the Q range is seen, accompanied by the tail lamps with the double arrow shape. Within the tail light units, a visual showcase of its three-dimensional appearance becomes a techno feast for the eyes. At dusk, the trapezoidal shaped lights when switched on, takes on a character of their own \u2013 with the signal lamps dynamically illuminating themselves inside-out.\n\n\nInterior\n\n\n\n\nOn the inside, Audi Q7 welcomes the occupants into Audi\u2019s latest design language across panels and lines, with the use of premium materials that sets it in a class of its own. Sophisticated elegance is a word we\u2019ll use to describe the interior, heavily injected with technological features from the 21\nst\n century.\n\n\n\n\nOn the dashboard, the complete horizontal line for the air-con vents is formed to be a singular unit, separated only by the respective sections. The centre vent is a functioning unit that can be activated by a button on the dash. The use of aluminium and leather is apparent here, with its application clearly used to highlight the various operational areas such as the shifter, knob and buttons.\n\n\nFeatures and Safety\n\n\n\n\nThe S-line package that was included in the reviewed unit featured the S-line front and rear bumpers, five-spoke design rims on the exterior, and the seat upholstery in perforated Alcantara with the S embossing on the backrests with the S-line steering wheel within the cabin as the most evident upgrades on a longer list of items.\n\n\nThe three-spoke leather steering wheel in the S-line package.\n\n\nBut the closest attention to detail that stood out most for us is the capacitive aluminium switches within the centre console that reacts to the electrical impulses within the fingertips (similar to that of modern touch-screen phones.) The interior ambient lighting that runs through the door panels, centre console and dashboard aluminium trim is most noticeable at night. Customisable from the vehicle\u2019s settings, an option of white, red, blue, green or orange can be chosen, or cycle through the preset drive-select modes.\n\n\nThe Q7 has four-zone climate control. Here\u2019s the rear vent units.\n\n\nStandard features like hold assist, cruise control, speed limiter, rear parking system with camera and the 360-view of the vehicle is joined with Audi\u2019s pre-sense basic and city safety systems. Pre-sense basic is a preventive measure that tightens the front seat belts, and closes the sunroof and windows while pre-sense city observes the road and warns or applies the automatic emergency brakes should it be necessary.\n\n\nPark assist is also available, and as standard with the latest systems, can automatically steer the Q7 into and out of parallel or perpendicular-parking spots on either side.\n\n\nThe two centre seats on the third row are electrically operated, and can be collapsed fully for a wider boot area.\n\n\nThe Virtual Cockpit and MMI\n\n\nSeen here is the virtual cockpit in its infotainment view, where it opens up to utilize the complete display. At places of interest, the map displays 3D building images.\n\n\nAudi\u2019s headlining virtual cockpit is easily the singular most important feature for the brand since its introduction seen in the latest Mk3 TT. Replacing the traditional analog needles for tacho and speedometer combo, the 12.3-inch display has a resolution of 1440 by 540 pixels that is capable of recalculating the needle of the counter 60 times a second (similar to the refresh rate on display monitors). The driver is able to switch between a classic or infotainment view that provides a wider centre view for navigation, phone, music or a traditional view of larger instruments in full size.\n\n\n\n\nAccompanying the virtual cockpit display for the driver is the 8.3-inch MMI monitor located on the dashboard. Input for the menus are through a glass trackpad, rotary control and two switches for the basic shortcuts to four menus. For a clean look, the MMI monitor can be retracted at any time.\n\n\nDriving Experience\n\n\nThe steering wheel has a range of buttons that can be used to control menus on the virtual cockpit.\n\n\nDriving the Q7 was a treat for the senses. On paper the 3.0-litre 333 hp engine delivers 440 Nm of torque, and while we\u2019re usually not big on numbers, the pulling power alone thrilled us. The standstill to 100 km/h on paper takes just 6.3-seconds, a feat of possibilities that stumped us considering the unladen weight of the vehicle already stands at slightly over two tons.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDrive select modes that are available on the Q7. Notice the ride height modes on the bottom right that displays the vehicle\u2019s height.\n\n\nNoticeable at first is Audi Q7\u2019s weight and size, but after the vehicle quickly grows on the driver, becomes a convenient luxury all-road cruiser. In standard fashion for vehicle\u2019s with dynamic drive select modes, this all-wheeler has options for efficiency, comfort, auto, dynamic, allroad and individual, where the latter most allows the driver to set a basic vehicle response including engine and suspension settings (important to note here, that the individual mode on the Q7 differs on the S range of Audi vehicles that allows a more detailed tuning option.) Throttle response together with ride height and mapping changes with the different modes, as do steering when required.\n\n\nThe electronic shifter on the Q7, seen here with the perforated leather of the S-line package.\n\n\nDynamically the Audi Q7 performs magnificently like a four-by-four drizzled with honey and cream, smoothly gliding through gear changes, and effortlessly moving through the air as if through a vacuum. The drive is still characteristically Audi, as it provides that refinement in all situations, with the engine management, electronics, sensors and actuators working in harmony yet is able to provide significant feedback to the driver.\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAudi\n\n\nQ7 with S-line package\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPower\n\n\n333 hp\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTorque\n\n\n440 Nm at 2,900 to 5,300 rpm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEngine Capacity\n\n\n3.0-litre V6 petrol\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTransmission\n\n\n8-speed tiptronic\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLitre/100km (Combined)\n\n\n7.9\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCO2 Emissions (Combined)\n\n\n183g /km\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice\n\n\nRM 602,900\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWrap Up\n\n\n\n\nWe\u2019d like to go continuously detailing on this review, but we\u2019d really have to end. Audi Q7 in a few words is a feast for the senses. As the company continues to take their vehicles on a path of technological refinement that many are heading to, we can\u2019t stress enough that while its necessary to innovate, carmakers should always focus on the one thing that matters most. A car that\u2019s made for drivers everywhere.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n", "Tags\nCars\nDriving\nReviews\nTest Drive", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

While many only remember Volvo\u2019s as these boxy vehicles, the brand also introduced us to smooth lines 30 years prior, with the Amazon and the P1800. But the brand isn\u2019t forgotten. Today Volvo in the new millennium has made a comeback to sexy curves seen in the S60, V40, XC60 and XC90, to praise and awe. And while some might see the brand\u2019s current designs as a leap into the future, they do hold an evolutionary aspect with heritage to its Scandinavian roots. We speak to Jonathan Disley, Vice President of Design for Volvo Cars China on the design cues and attention to detail that goes into its vehicle\u2019s today.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe interior of Volvo\u2019s new S90 sedan and V90 estate.\n\n\nThe saying \u201cform follows function\u201d is greatly spoken of when it comes to design. How is this expressed when it comes to Volvo cars?\n\n\nJD: I think form following function is a very Scandinavian way of dealing with things designed in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. For example, some items like a wooden chair is made in a way that it doesn\u2019t look forced. This is done so that it looks like it\u2019s using its natural ability true to its materials. So for example wood, if you bent it more, it would looked forced. If you treated it in a different way, you can make it look incoherent. A lot of the things we do is about form following function. A lot of it is simplified back to its basic things. It\u2019s a normal process for us and something we don\u2019t think about but it comes naturally when we\u2019re designing.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nA couple of examples is when you look at the exterior of the S90, it is extremely beautiful because there is nothing forced on that exterior. The section of the body is the way it is, to allow the hinge points but also for all the pieces inside \u2013 the structure, the crash beams and more. But the curvature just allows it to look great. If you make a material too flat, it doesn\u2019t look strong. If you make it look big, it looks too heavy. So the material itself has to look correct and have a balance. You can make a piece of material look really cheap or expensive by the way it is bent. Getting an understanding on what those curvatures are and its forms, is what \u2018form follows function\u201d mean.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSeen here is the brand\u2019s Concept Coupe grille, that although shapes the future, is inspired by the grille slits of the P1800. Both feature 23 grille slits, which is also seen in the new S90.\n\n\nA lot of Volvo\u2019s design follows the ethos of minimalistic Scandinavian design. Is minimalistic design difficult to achieve?\n\n\nJD: It is extremely difficult to achieve. It has a lot to do with the way you use the materials that stays honest to its nature. I think a lot of the time, you can make things look simple, but if you don\u2019t have the right materials, it becomes really cheap. In the past, you have a very simple design, but you need to have the correct finishing, colours, balance, surfaces to make it all work. If you take for example, a kitchen or home appliance that is high end, it is a very utilitarian piece that has to function. But to simplify it, you can only do it if you have high quality materials. If you don\u2019t use those materials, it automatically becomes cheap looking. It\u2019s the same with watches. Some smartwatches are cool high tech items, but in terms of touch and material, it doesn\u2019t feel premium. The watch and the way it works is a unique piece of design, but it doesn\u2019t compare with a well-made luxury timepiece. You need to make something look exclusive to be exclusive. Perception is everything I think.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Thor\u2019s Hammer design seen in the Concept Coupe is now the signature of the brand\u2019s line-up. It is named after the Scandinavian God of Light.\n\n\nWould you be able to share the lengths you\u2019ve gone as a designer on a part of a Volvo that people greatly take for granted? Parts which people don\u2019t realise has gone through countless hours of work?\n\n\nJD: Usually the bone of contention has been the infotainment system. Like I\u2019ve mentioned before, it has been about where to place a button. If you do it right, it automatically feels like it\u2019s always been there. But if you do it wrong, you can really have problems. With the S60 or S80 before, you had a row of buttons, and each of those buttons had to be a certain section and had to have a distance between buttons, of a certain volume and radii, pushing distance, and it goes on. Everybody wants to be at the middle section, because that is the least distance from your eyes to the road. A car is extremely complicated to do and design. And a car\u2019s interior is a few thousand parts compared to the hundreds of parts in the exterior. Every single piece has to go together. The customer won\u2019t ever think about the complexity that goes into every single car.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat designs have you taken inspiration from while growing up as a designer? Designers that you admire?\n\n\nJD: Growing up as a designer, cars have always been an inspiration for me. Architecture is an amazing thing and Zaha Hadid was an amazing person who broke rules. But I think what\u2019s happening nowadays is that there are so many creative students out there. That for me is amazing. The guys that are coming up and getting into design are certainly going to pave the way with whatever is coming up next. But the thing is, there are geniuses like Zaha Hadid, but in general, inspiration for me is taking something everyday from a different source. It\u2019s so fast and continuous today, when compared to getting inspiration from person to person in the past. Thomas Ingenlath, our Senior VP of Design is an inspiration because he instinctively knows when something is right. We will at times disagree with each other but he has a good eye at finding the right balance. And I really respect that with his knowledge and taste as a designer. There are very few people I\u2019ve met that has that.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nVolvo\u2019s iconic P1800 of the 1960s.\n\n\nHaving been at Volvo for 16 years, you\u2019ve been able to see the evolution of the brand. Where does it go from now?\n\n\nJD: I think the biggest evolution is the different owners Volvo\u2019s had. When it was privately owned, Volvo was a bigger company than some automakers. But at the time, they didn\u2019t develop fast enough. Volvo has had some amazing times in its history. With our current owners Geely, it is extremely good times because they trust us to deliver amazing products. We have the freedom to work on things that customers can benefit from. And with Geely, they have allowed us to lead the way. They\u2019re really savvy and trust us to do the best we can do. The cars we\u2019re doing and those you\u2019ll see this year are incredible.\n\n", "Tags\nCars\nDriving\nLifestyle", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

The technology is a simple yet effective safety system that prevents the wheels from locking \u2013 allowing the driver to maneuver the vehicle even under hard braking. On the safety front, the company has been instrumental in many of the core safety systems which includes the traction control system (TCS) and electronic stability program (ESP). While these technologies are available in vehicles today, what about motorcycles?\n\n\nWe speak to Klaus Landhaeusser, General Manager, Automotive Sales Original Equipment SEA for Robert Bosch on the importance of ABS for motorcycles and the reduction of greenhouse gas emisssions for the ASEAN region.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nEarlier last year, the figures released by Bosch revealed that Malaysia\u2019s adoption rate for anti-lock braking systems are lower than that of neighbouring countries Indonesia and Thailand. How can Bosch as the pioneer for ABS technology and a leader in automotive equipment help advise the Malaysian people or the local auto industry to take this more seriously?\n\n\nKL:\n Malaysia has one of the highest road traffic fatalities in the ASEAN region and more than 60 per cent of road accidents affect motorcyclists. Add that to the 18 fatalities per day that was recorded in 2015 because of road accidents, it is evident that immediate action is necessary to tackle this problem. Bosch has the technology to help reduce the number of road accidents not just in Malaysia, but globally as well.\n\n\nOur recent accident research shows that roughly one fourth accidents could be prevented if the motorcycle is equipped with antilock braking system (ABS). ABS prevents the wheels from locking up which allows riders to remain in control of the motorcycle and react more quickly without fear in a critical situation while braking.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nFurthermore, by 2021, approximately 160 million two-wheelers will be produced annually, roughly one-third more than today. Nearly 90 per cent of these will be built in China, India, and Southeast Asia. As we cannot put a cost on safety and because one life lost is one too many, we are bringing our ABS technology to all classes and markets. In 2016, we released the ABS 10, a variant that is designed specifically to meet the requirements of emerging markets. With its compact dimensions and weighing just 450 grams, this system is easier for manufacturers to integrate into mopeds for price-sensitive customers.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWorldwide, more and more countries are promoting motorcycle ABS. Throughout the EU, all newly sold motorized two-wheelers with more than 125 cc displacement must be fitted with an antilock braking system as of 2017. Starting in October 2018, Japan will be mandating ABS for new type approvals for motorcycles with more than 125\u00a0cc. Brazil and Taiwan, too, have already passed laws mandating ABS in the future. With safety advancements readily available, it is necessary for the local regulators and the automotive industry to follow suit to keep up with the rest of the world on safety standards.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat we feel is lacking \u2013 awareness on safety technologies and advancements. Which is why we are working closely with various stakeholders including the New Car Assessment Program for South East Asian Countries (ASEAN NCAP) and the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) to create awareness on motorcycle ABS. We recently organised a live motorcycle demonstration during the ASEAN NCAP Stop The Crash Campaign in Sepang, to provide insights on motorcycle ABS and how it can potential deter unwanted road accidents.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWe have come a long way in terms of vehicle safety and technological systems. Based on a list of available automotive safety systems, how much further do we have to go to make vehicles that is truly safe for passengers everywhere?\n\n\nKL:\n Studies show that 80 per cent of traffic accidents in Malaysia are caused by human error. Hence, reducing the human element is key. In future, autonomous cars present a potential solution to eliminate this human error component. Until the technology and market is mature for usage, Bosch is continuing its efforts in this region to promote vehicle safety systems that help drivers during critical situations such as the motorcycle antilock braking system (ABS), motorcycle stability (MSC) and electronic stability program (ESP) for cars, amongst many more.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhat are your top 3 favourite Bosch automotive safety systems and why?\n\n\nKL:\n Firstly, it is the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), which already includes ABS. ESP intervenes and assists a vehicle to gain stability during a forthcoming accident. Most fatal accidents are side collisions which happen when a vehicle skids and ESP drastically reduces such risk. ESP has helped me countless times in avoiding accidents during sharp corners and avoiding sudden cars appearing at junctions. This is important to me since my regular passengers are my wife and kids.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSecondly, it would be the e-Call systems. Time is essential during accidents in ensuring the victims receive immediate help as soon as possible, otherwise the result might be fatal. The system will analyse the vehicle sensor signals to elaborate the severity of the accident, and will contact the nearest authorities with the precise location. Hence, victims of the accident get a quicker response time, especially by accidents in secluded areas.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThirdly, it is the Side-View-Assist (SVA)/Lane Keeping Support (LKS). Changing lanes in Malaysia can be difficult especially when motorcycles often weave between the lanes or when a car suddenly speeds up hindering you from switching lane. I find this most useful, so that we as drivers can be alerted much earlier if any vehicles are approaching from our in a blind spot and LKS can support by counter steering if we misjudged the situation. In case of tiredness or unintended change of lanes, the LKS system helps to counter steer to keep you in the lane. Both systems can help avoid accidents altogether.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBased on your previous works in your profile, you have advised ASEAN governments on the reduction of CO2 and green-house gas emissions, how has that advice grown since? And where would your goal to an emissions free future begin?\n\n\nKL:\n The Malaysian government has taken an encouraging step to reduce 40 per cent greenhouse gas emission (GHGE) by (2005 level) by 2020. We see a lot of potential and positive actions in the market. Fuel companies have voluntarily switched to Euro 5 diesel before the official implementation date on 2020 and Euro 4 is now available for Ron97 petrol. These fuel standard implementations will reduce more GHGE emission from vehicles.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHowever, the most used RON 95 petrol is still of Euro 2 standard. As a strong commitment from Malaysia government, legislating Euro 4 fuel standards would be essential in order to reach the self-set target by 2020. Additionally, the majority of the global automotive market have already mandated with Euro 4/5 standards. One might agree that for Malaysia moving the same standards would be essential for additional future export business.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMalaysia is also moving in the right direction towards the production of electric vehicles (EV). Demand of electricity will increase substantially if low emission vehicle such as EV is successfully introduced. Hence, before large scale implementation, it\u2019s important that the energy source has to be shifted from fossil to renewable energy (i.e. solar or water) in order not to move the emissions from transportation towards energy production. Only by the shifting towards renewable energy, electrification can lead to lower emissions. The experience in other markets has shown that adopting a technology neutral vehicle taxation scheme, based on emissions or fuel consumption, would spark the adoption of cleaner vehicles / technologies.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhen it comes to driving in Malaysia, what message would you like the Malaysian public to know when it comes to safety?\n\n\nKL:\n There is still a lack of public awareness on vehicle safety features and habits of safe driving needs to be strengthen. It surprises me that most Malaysians would not be willing to spend any additional money on safety features but rather on comfort and design features. I could myself witness that in many cases when cars are equipped with safety features they are mostly not fully utilised.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAs an example, many new vehicles now comes with a child seat lock or seatbelt, however very often I could see children jumping around in the cars without being buckled-up. Even though seatbelts are mandatory, I saw many passengers not utilising this life saving equipment. Such simple safety devices can protect you and your loved ones and have saved so many lives during critical traffic incidents.\n\n\nMy recommendation to Malaysians is therefore:\n\n\n\n\nThink twice before purchasing your next vehicle. Spend money on safety features than on beautification (i.e. spoilers or sound systems). Never forget that the value of yours and your loved one\u2019s life is priceless. Better be safe than sorry!\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhat do you think?

In 2016, the brand launched 17 model and variants and sold 11,779 vehicles or a nine per cent improvement over 2015\u2019s record year. But that didn\u2019t stop the brand. This year\u2019s third quarter performance marked a total of 8,771 vehicles sold with 19 new models and variants launched in 2017. This brings the brand\u2019s current vehicle line-up locally to over 50 variants in the Malaysian portfolio.\n\n\nAs we end 2017, we speak to Mark Raine, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Passenger Cars at Mercedes-Benz Malaysia on their vehicle line-up, PHEV\u2019s and outlook for 2018.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMBM ended 2016 with another record year with 17 models launched, sold almost 12,000 vehicles and followed on this year with 19 models. How do you decide which models to focus on and continue to grow the current line-up in the MBM portfolio?\n\n\nMR: We look at the market carefully and analyse where the future trends might be. We make cars available in Malaysia through market requirements based on customers who would like to purchase vehicles in specific segments. For instance, it is a decision at this moment that we\u2019re not offering station wagons because we see that market covered in our SUV range which in concept are similar. For our Dream Car range, we want to offer the biggest variety of dream cars \u2013 coupe\u2019s, cabriolets, roadsters and performance AMG\u2019s. For me this is important because we are the premium market leader and need to have that variety for the high-end customers to choose from. This is also part of our commitment to being a luxury brand and offer that choice.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDo you feel that with a vast portfolio of cars, there is a risk of one product outshining another?\n\n\nMR: For us, we want to sell as many cars as possible of the Mercedes-Benz brand, and for me the goal is to make customers happy. The first step to making customers happy is by offering the right product. If we\u2019ve provided the customer with the choice and allow them to decide that they\u2019ve the right vehicle, the customer will be happy and we\u2019ve done a good job. Of course there is also the buying, aftersales and service experience.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSince your introductions of the C350e and E350e, what are your thoughts about the adoption of PHEV\u2019s and the local recharging infrastructure?\n\n\nMR: With our C350e, we were one of the first to launch a plug-in hybrid in Malaysia. We started off with the S400 Hybrid, a conventional hybrid that was followed up 10 months later with the E300 BlueTec Diesel Hybrid and now are in our third wave of Plug-in hybrids. PHEVs are fairly new to the market but the infrastructure is starting to be established. The government has a very concrete plan together with Greentech Malaysia in terms of rolling out the charging infrastructure. Our dealers are equipped with fast charging wallboxes which the customers can opt to purchase one for their house. It is still in progress and developing in the right direction, and I\u2019m happy with that.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe brand\u2019s current line-up of cars are growing popular amongst the younger generation thanks to the strong presence it commands. Other than just the product, how does Mercedes-Benz Malaysia continue to keep existing and attract younger clientele over from your competitors?\n\n\nMR: For me it\u2019s not a tradeoff, it\u2019s complementary. We\u2019ve dissected our product portfolio into four groups \u2013 compact cars, limousines, SUV\u2019s and Dream Cars. When we do an event that engages with the compact car customers, it is different than with the launch of an E-Class. The former mentioned, like the Urban Hunting event is very targeted and edgy, aimed at the younger generation, while the E-Class is more subdued, conservative and according to our customers needs and desires.\n\n\nWe also have successful platforms like our Mercedes Trophy Golf Series. That targets a more traditional customer. But we are also adding new platforms like the Mercedes-Benz Driving Experience that is across the range, targeting Dream and Performance cars.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nOn a lighter note, what has been the best advice you\u2019ve ever received from your mentors?\n\n\nMR: I\u2019ve been encouraged to think independently, to be critical, but at the same time, have an approach of integrity, knowing what is right and having that internal compass of doing the right thing for the right reasons and yet not stop to be daring.\n\n\nOne individual mentor in the company has supported me over the past years in terms of progressing my career has had a huge portion of my success. I think it\u2019s always healthy to have trusted individuals like my family, wife and father who has given me guidance, provided me feedback and reflected together with me. The ability to reflect on your personal behaviours, performance and knowing what\u2019s good and needed to improve is also a crucial ability.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhich is your favourite Mercedes-Benz vehicle of all time? Why?\n\n\nMR: I have not a favourite car, it\u2019s a few. I\u2019m a huge fan of the CLS and was driving the CLS shooting brake before coming to Malaysia. I think it\u2019s the perfect symbiosis between a traditional E-Class limousine and a coupe. I love the design and progressiveness of that car. I also like the S-Class Coupe, GLC Coupe and the GTS as well.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat are your plans for 2018 in Malaysia?\n\n\nMR: The past three years have been exciting, with 2015 being hugely successful, 2016 was a firework of new products and the segment of our premium SUV range, and 2017 with the eight AMG\u2019s alone are mindblowing. But I\u2019m most excited about 2018 cause we\u2019re gonna have new and revised products in all of our four product groups. We\u2019ve got hugely exciting things happening with the brand and I\u2019m very excited and optimistic.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car fast, fair and free today!

From the humble spark plug, to the comfort of switching on the vehicle\u2019s lights and being able to start the vehicle inside the cabin is one of the many things that Bosch has made possible since a century ago. Fast forward to automobiles of today, and you have more advanced systems like ESP, Traction Control, Airbags, Start-Stop system provide economical and safe solutions to every drive.\n\n\nWhat separates Bosch from the rest? We speak to Pang Yoon Kong, Country Manager for Bosch Automotive Aftermarket Malaysia on how he grew up with cars, and what\u2019s next for the multinational company.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhat makes Bosch special?\n\n\nYK: Bosch is a very unique company. A foundation company where 97 per cent is held by the Robert Bosch Foundation. We determine our own future strategic moves. It is also unique in a sense that the company is focused in one thing \u2013 that our innovations must enhance the quality of life. That is where our focus is. The next three key areas that we are targeting are connected mobility, autonomous driving and electro mobility. We are very future driven. We believe we have the software and hardware at both ends, and the engineering to connect it all together.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhat should Malaysians learn when it comes to driving on the road?\n\n\nYK: Malaysians should typically pay attention to the parts of their cars when it is replaced. Knowing how to replace them isn\u2019t important, but they should be conscious to know which parts go into their vehicles. We advocate quality parts, and Malaysians should make cautious decisions in knowing what goes in. We believe in doing so, car drivers can be safe on the road. This can reduce road accidents and fatalities when it comes to festive seasons. It is sad to know that every year more Malaysians are losing their lives on the road. It saddens us that it could be faulted by not having a quality part.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat is the most innovative Bosch part in a car?\n\n\nYK: That has to be the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) or Vehicle Stability Control (VSC). To be honest, I had a close encounter at a corner on the highway once. I wasn\u2019t driving fast, but because the road was wet, the ESP actually saved me from knocking into the car ahead, it also saved me from hitting the divider. I had my wife and two children with me at the time. I appreciate that technology very much. I felt very comfortable after that.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIs being in Bosch part of a growing up passion for automotive?\n\n\nYK: The first car I had was a Proton Wira, I loved it, it was very durable. I moved on to quite a few cars after that. I had a Mazda Lantis, Hyundai Sonata, Volkswagen Golf and even a Naza Ria. Those are the cars that were in my life. If you would to ask me about my favourite car however, it would be Porsche Boxster or Spyder.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAny lessons for Malaysians when it comes to using quality parts for your car?\n\n\nYK: Start with Bosch. We produce quality and really reliable parts. With the Advantage Wipers, they would fit 90 per cent of Asian cars easily. Don\u2019t save on dollars and cents when it comes to safety. That is our key message.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nYou mentioned about Autonomous Driving, where do you see the automotive industry as a whole heading to in the next 10 years?\n\n\nYK: We foresee that by 2030, autonomous driving will be a key mobility and we are focused into it. We at Bosch in general have the capability to do so and are pushing towards that. Car manufacturers themselves are looking and are keen into it as well. So that is the future.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhat do you think about the advancements of Bosch\u2019s products and how they have enriched our lives?

Developed with close to a zero sulfur content, the new Power Diesel Euro 5 contains less than 10 parts per million (ppm) of sulfur in comparison with the current Euro 2M rating with 500ppm. How will it benefit your vehicle and why should you choose diesel? We speak to Philip Chee, Fuel Specialist at Chevron on the improvements the brand\u2019s latest diesel and also the differences between diesel and biodiesel.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nPlease share with us the benefits and a brief explanation of Caltex\u2019s Power Diesel Euro 5 as compared to the previous versions of diesel available on the Malaysian market.\n\n\nPC:\n Currently for our Power Diesel Euro 5 as compared with our Euro 2M diesel, you will definitely feel the difference. The Power Diesel with Techron D has a formulation that is proven to control deposits, help maintain fuel injector cleanliness and enhance engine performance.\n\n\nThe Euro 5 implementation is to reduce exhaust emissions that result in lower levels of harmful emissions and cleaner and better air quality. This improvement of Euro 5 is without a doubt much better than what we have currently at Euro 2M. It is the best diesel we\u2019ve ever produced.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat is your take on diesel cars of today versus the ones made in the 1990s?\n\n\nPC: \nDiesel engines have long been touted as being too large, loud, and inefficient and have become infamous for the plume of soot and smoke that shoots out of the tailpipe upon starting. However, with new technology being developed in Europe, diesel engines are quickly becoming known for their new clean and more dependable nature.\n\n\nNew composite materials and a better understanding of the mechanics behind engines have allowed engineers to develop engines which transform more of the energy in the fuel into mechanical energy. This also allows for a reduction in the amount of energy that is lost as heat.\n\n\nExhaust after-treatment technologies (post-combustion) such as filters and catalytic converters are used in the exhaust pipe to trap particulate matter that escapes from the cylinder. The NOx and particulate matter emissions can be brought down to near the level of hybrid cars with a combination of fine filters and catalytic converter technologies.\n\n\nDiesel engines also provide a lot more power as well as lower fuel consumption than their gasoline counterparts.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n(Centre) Shahid Ahmed, Country Chairman of Chevron Malaysia with Philip Chee, Fuel Specialist at Chevron.\n\n\nWith the introduction of Euro 5 diesel, emissions will be improved as well. What are the general figures of emission improvements for Euro 5 versus Euro 2 diesel?\n\n\nPC: \nThe Euro 5 emissions standard imposes a sulphur requirement on Caltex Power Diesel at 10ppm (max) as compared to the Euro 2 emissions standard requirement on Euro 2M diesel at 500ppm (max).\n\n\nWith a reduction in sulphur content by a factor of more than 50, we believe Caltex Power Diesel with Techron D can help reduce emissions and pollutants in the environment.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRecently there are talks of an introduction of B10 Biodiesel to the Malaysian market. What is the difference between diesel and biodiesel?\n\n\nPC: \nBiodiesel\u00a0is a form of fuel\u00a0manufactured using feedstocks such as vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled restaurant greases. In Malaysia, the feedstock used is palm oil.\n\n\nBiodiesel\u00a0is\u00a0made\u00a0through a chemical process called transesterification and the resultant methyl ester (biodiesel) has a slightly different physical property as compared to diesel e.g. higher density & viscosity, lower stability etc.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhat do you think about the availability of Euro 5 Diesel\u2019s in Malaysia?

From tableware and lights, to kitchen and bathware, his studio has a long list of exquisite design credentials which include the Jawaher Villas Riyadh, The Fontenay Hamburg, and now in Malaysia, the AIRA Residence.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBut for PB, his style isn\u2019t only reserved for the living space. His automotive collaboration with Land Rover is one that started a decade ago. In the recent unveiling together with a unique black-on-black 5.0-litre Supercharged Range Rover Sport priced at an exclusive RM1.29 million. We speak with the illustrious designer on his collaboration with the British four-wheel-drive manufacturer and how he looks at design.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPlease share with us how did the collaboration with Land Rover start in 2006?\n\n\nPB:\n\u00a0The longstanding collaboration between Studio Piet Boon and Land Rover dates back to 2006. Ten years ago in search for a suitable brand partner, the Dutch Director Benelux \u2013 Marc Bienemann \u2013 approached Studio Piet Boon as he believed the studio\u2019s philosophy of balancing functionality, aesthetics and individuality matched Land Rover\u2019s brand values; performance, luxury and excellence. Piet Boon has been a brand ambassador ever since and vice versa. Over the years Piet Boon has designed over ten limited editions, varying from a Range Rovers to Defenders and from Range Rover Sport\u2019s to Evoque\u2019s. The latest edition to the one-of family is the \u2018Last Defender by Piet Boon\u2019.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHow would you describe one of the most common design traits of a Piet Boon design?\n\n\nPB:\n\u00a0High-end timeless design, quality and our philosophy of balancing functionality, aesthetics and individuality.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nOf all the various designs you\u2019ve collaborated with Land Rover, which is your favourite and why?\n\n\nPB:\n I don\u2019t particularly have a favourite, because to me, each edition is unique in its own way.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAt the recent unveiling of the AIRA Residence, guests were also treated to an up-close look at a black-on-black Range Rover Sport. How would you say your designs on the AIRA has trickled into the Range Rover? Or perhaps vice versa?\n\n\nPB:\n\u00a0I am very much part of the selection process when it comes to determining the materials and other details. I also prefer to use locally sourced materials as much as we can. Luxury, to me, is in the details \u2013 materials used, graphic patterns, design. Everything is well-thought and carefully selected. Quality is key in luxurious designs.\n\n\nI also associate luxury living with bespoke living. It is an extension of YOU \u2013 your personality and what drives you. For AIRA, we managed to blend our concept of spatial arrangements with the East-Asian way of living. For this we researched the Malay culture, way of living and interior customs.

And which designers did you look up to?\n\n\nPB:\n When working on a project, the process of looking for inspiration is mostly the same. Essentially we have to understand the concept and then we listen to and watch the world around us and are inspired by what we hear, see and feel. People we meet, nature, food, cultures, colours etc. are just a few examples.\n\n\nAs an international multidisciplinary design studio, we call the world our workplace.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHow different is it designing for products vs for property and automotive? Are there a specific set of rules that you\u2019d stick to as a designer?\n\n\nPB:\n\u00a0For me, the challenge arises in harmonizing between function and aesthetic. Once you have found the balance, everything else will fall into place.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhich automotive designer or special partnerships do you have a liking to?

And for the first time, the remaining push-to-passes available for each driver is visible on each side of the cars through an LED display (which flashes when in use). Furthermore, a weight success ballast system provides a challenge for the drivers as the race winner will have to drive with an extra 50 kg in their car (35 kg for 2nd place and 20 kg for 3rd) for the following race.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nFor this year\u2019s first leg, three-time Cup Champion and Malaysian racing driver Alex Yoong takes an unexpected spin on Round 1 but regained a win for Round 2. Overall, Belgian Alessio Picariello maintains a 14-point championship lead ahead of Alex Yoong.\n\n\nPresent at the race as well was Audi Sport\u2019s current CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, who managed to spend time with the media in a Q&A session (together with Bernd Goeres, Director of Audi Sport customer racing Asia) about his former position at Lamborghini, and his plans for Audi Sport. The following Q&A was conducted by various media\u2019s during the group session.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSeen here is Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Audi Sport GmbH and Bernd Goeres, Director of Audi Sport customer racing Asia at the race.\n\n\nThe R8 Cup has been around for six years now, and its roughly been about five to six tracks per season. Are there any intentions to bring it out of Asia or expand it to include more tracks?\n\n\nBG:\n We always plan the season ahead of time, and we have already begun planning for next year. For us the focus is in Asia because of our base in mainland China, so the Chinese market is important for us. But we always look where there are interesting race tracks. For us this is very important for our drivers. For example, we have already gone to Abu Dhabi once, so expanding is possible. What is interesting for us is how we can use this market to have a good programme for race drivers on a race track.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nStephan Winkelmann with three-time R8 LMS Cup Champion, Alex Yoong.\n\n\nWhere do you see hybrid technology heading in the Audi Sport brand?\n\n\nSW:\n I think performance cars have to change and decide whether the next step will be an evolutionary or revolutionary approach. It depends on the steps you take when heading towards making a better electric vehicle because sooner or later the difference between cars of today, and the future, has to be explained to customers. It\u2019s a matter of battery technology, weight of the car, keeping up with the top speed, range and infrastructure. One day, a customer will be asking for a sports car where sustainability will be part of the everyday. Because of the new generation, mindset, and legislation of things will influence the way we look at a car of tomorrow. But there will be a difference between the first electric cars and the last of the combustion engine cars. It is very important to explain what you\u2019re going to do, and why you are going to do it.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRound 2 of the race podium is (from left) Alessio Picariello, Alex Yoong and Mitch Gilbert.\n\n\nHow do you decide which models become Audi Sport models?\n\n\nSW:\n It depends on the segments and body styles. You skip the ones which are not made to be performance cars, but you also have to look carefully into the growing segments and the models which give prestige to a brand. Then there is a scarcity and priority, and for me, size, bodystyle and segment matters. For example we believe SUV\u2019s will be more important for the Audi Sports line, the limousines and other types of cars.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhere do you see innovation heading to?\n\n\nSW:\n Audi is known for Vorsprung durch Technik, we invest in the future, which means investing in the latest technology. We have to pick the things which are paramount for the success of tomorrow, and that which is making a difference as a brand. We then decide which is the right thing to do. As an example, if you look at Ur-Quattro versus the Quattro of today, you have a big difference. We have to create new things, believe in the future to be as good as the present and the past. Because if you can only repeat what you do best, you will be recognised as someone who is running out of ideas.\n\n", "Tags\nCars\nEvents\nLifestyle", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

His interest in cars began when he was five, when his father Tengku Tan Sri Mahaleel would take him along for drives. It was this that Tengku Djan would eventually grow his interest in motor racing. Today, nicknamed \u2018The Prince of Drift\u2019, Tengku has numerous awards and recognition in the world of drifting, where his fifth placement in the D1 Grand Prix World All-Star Tournament in 2006 put Malaysia on the map in the world of drifting and has since partnered with Bridgestone. We speak with Tengku Djan Ley briefly on his journey thus far.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nHow did your partnership with Bridgestone come about?\n\n\nTDL: \nOur partnership goes back to the inaugural D1 Grand Prix Malaysia 2006. Malaysia\u2019s first professional drift series hosted by Japan\u2019s premier drifting series. I managed to win the 5 round championship and represented Malaysia in the D1 Grand Prix World All-Star Tournament at the end of 2006 where we finished 5th. We have been in partnership ever since.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAs a drifter, the tyres that are on your car allow you to be at your best. \u00a0Please share with us how Bridgestone has been part of your success.\n\n\nTDL: \nYes. Tyres are crucial in any discipline. Be it 4 wheel or 2 wheel, race or simply travelling to work daily. It is the only component which connects the car to the road. Bridgestone tyres provides me with a high level of grip and steering connectivity which is crucial in motor racing in both wet and dry conditions. The tyres consistency is unmatchable, giving me the confidence to push hard when it matters.\n\n\nEvery drift championship i have won, i have done it on Bridgestone Potenza tyres since 2006.\n\n\nD1 Grand Prix Malaysia 2006\n\n\nFormula Drift Singapore 2008\n\n\nFormula Drift Asia 2009\n\n\nFormula Drift Asia 2010\n\n\nDrift All Star Thailand Series 2011\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThere are numerous car accidents and deaths that happen yearly during festive seasons in Malaysia. What is the most important advice do you have for drivers who must do long distance drives?\n\n\nTDL:\n Most important is to check your tyre pressure regularly. This will help maintain the tyres at its optimal condition. Rotating tyres between the front and back regularly will also help even out the wear on all 4 tyres. You can do this during your vehicle\u2019s periodic service.\n\n\nYou should also visually check your tyres from time to time to ensure you have enough thread. There are tyre indicators that will help you check thread depth visually. This is important as the tendency to aqua planning is high due to monsoon rain in this region.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat advice do you have for anyone interested to participate in motorsports in Malaysia?\n\n\nTDL:\n Do it in a controlled and organised manner. Do not take motorsports to the street. There\u2019s a lot of info via social media to help you get started in motorsports. From karting to grassroots time trails, there are many types. And once you feel confident you have the Malaysian Speed Festival which is the stepping stone to professional motorsports.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhat has been your proudest moment in your career?\n\n\nTDL: \nFinishing 5th in the D1 Grand Prix World All-Star Championship back in 2006. That single event has put Malaysia on the map of drifting and still talked about until today.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat do you see yourself doing in motorsports, in years to come?\n\n\nTDL: \nNot too sure to be honest. I\u2019m still very active driving or racing right now but slowly branching out to some level of driver training, race car consultancy and race car development. I can\u2019t be behind the wheel forever and yes, I would love to part with my knowledge with other Malaysians who share the same aspirations as me.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nImages are copyright of their owners and sourced from Tengku Djan\u2019s princeofdrift.com website.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking to trade in your car for that new ride, fill in the form below for a free valuation and sell your car through Carsome today!\n\n", "Tags\nCars\nDriving\nLifestyle", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

It was not until 1898 that the company was incorporated and renamed Nippon Paint. This marked the birth of a full-scale modern paint industry in Japan. In Malaysia, the brand has established itself since 1967, and today is the top third brand in the refinish market of automotive coatings.\n\n\n\n\n    Nippon Paint entered the automotive OEM market in the mid-70s, and was the first Paint manufacturer to supply the Pearl system to the OEM segment for mass production cars during the late 1980s automotive boom.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nHere the pull test is meant to determine the adhesion strength of the paint to the surface layer.\n\n\n\n\n\n    To reflect the Asian continent that is rich in diversity, the brand has focused not just on innovating colours, but products as well. The industry first Cyglaz automotive paint features a strong molecular structure that has better scratch, chemical and gasoline resistance, as well as innovative self-healing properties.\n\n\n\n\n    We speak to Eugene Yong, Senior Marketing Manager for Automotive at Nippon Paint Malaysia and question about car care and the brand's future in paints.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nEugene Yong (right), Senior Manager Automotive, with Ong Eng Keong (left), Assistant GM of Industrial Unit of Nippon Paint Malaysia.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the various survey\u2019s done by the brand, do you think generally Malaysians select their car\u2019s colour based on their personality, or one that would be easier to clean, or even based on its resale value?\n\n\n\n\n\n    EY: Based on a recent survey we had carried out, 71% of Malaysian car owners would choose to \nchange their car colour if they were given a choice\n. In fact, they would may select a car colour to suit their individual personality and preference. In another finding, 56% of Malaysians would prefer to respray their cars in non-conventional and vibrant colours which could be an interesting reflection of Malaysian\u2019s take on colours for their cars \u2013 probably due to the unique exposure to a rich mix of multicultural heritage.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    On the other end of the spectrum, however, are the practical side of Malaysians who believe that a hassle-free maintenance is ideal for their busy lifestyle. Hence, there are some who would prefer Black as a to-go-to colour to conceal dirt marks but being at risk of having to deal with obvious scratch marks. There is also another group of individuals who believe that White would be a better colour to conceal scratch marks and willingly send their car for frequent washes to remove the obvious dirt marks. Looking at the pros and cons of both conventional colours, it\u2019s no wonder that silver and grey are seen to be popular OEM colour choices among Malaysians.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat are the common misconceptions people have about taking care of their car\u2019s paint?\n\n\n\n\n\n    EY: Getting a new car detailed frequently, from the point of purchase is a necessity. Thorough cleaning and reconditioning of the interior and exterior of the car, from top-to-bottom goes a long way in protecting the coating of a car. However, frequent polishing may cause the opposite effect for the car paint, which is the thinning of the already present protective clear coating. This exposes the car\u2019s coating to even higher risks of being damaged by environmental factors such as stone chips and constant Ultra Violet (UV) Ray exposure.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuite a lot of Malaysians have cars that have scratches, stone chips and etc, what is your advice to conceal these defects?\n\n\n\n\n\n    EY: Over a period of time driving on the road, the surface coating of the car may experience fine scratches and swirl marks, gloss drops, stains from bird droppings and petrol marks. Experiencing scratches and chipping for car coatings are inevitable. These marks may be quite unsightly, depending on the severity of the damage. There are various aftermarket solutions that could solve the issue of fine scratches and stone chips through part replacements of the car. Unfortunately for marks that are deep, it would most likely have damaged the paint film. The best way to remove these deep and severe marks is by repainting the surface of the car to give it a brand new look, free of blemish. It may be a costly option but on the bright side, it is an excellent opportunity to change the colour of the car with Nippon Paint\u2019s Trend Colour for Mobility to reflect the true personality of the owner!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs The Coatings Expert, what are your tips and advice for general paint car care especially in Malaysia, where there\u2019s heat, rain and exposure to nature all year round?\n\n\n\n\n\n    EY: Always remember that car paint in its original form has a fair standard of durability in maintaining the overall condition of the car paint including its gloss and protection. It is advisable to conduct regular cleaning of the car to remove dirt and other stubborn marks on the surface of the car. Polish a car only when it is absolutely necessary, at a maximum of only 4 times a year. If the damage is too deep into the protective clear coating, it would be a good time to reconsider respraying the car. Not only will the car look brand new, it would also have greater resale value.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    It is recommended to always use quality coating products to ensure a smoother finish and longer lasting coating especially in humid weathers such as Malaysia\u2019s.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat about washing tips? Cloths, soaps, and polishing?\n\n\n\n\n\n    EY: When it comes to washing cars, remember to wash only when necessary with quality cleaning solutions and clean microfiber towels. Avoid over polishing of the car, as it thins the existing protective clear coating of the car.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is the future of paints, and what is Nippon Paint aiming to achieve in the near future?\n\n\n\n\n\n    EY: Leveraging on Nippon Paint\u2019s Trend Colour for Mobility, we will continue to innovate car colour solutions to meet the changing needs of consumers.\u00a0 The Research and Development team is constantly developing products to cater to the demands of both car owners and applicators in terms of quality and efficiency.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    From a marketing perspective, we are always working towards ensuring that Nippon Paint is always in the consumer\u2019s top of mind for automotive refinish. To further reinforce our position apart from our competitors, Nippon Paint is actively involved in automotive events such as Auto Fest which took place in 2016 and Malaysia Commercial Vehicle Expo (MCVE) in 2017.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Apart from driving sales for our car paint, it has always been our focus to inspire car owners to take on car repainting as a culture, to encourage them to explore various colour possibilities for their cars and for us to continuously introduce better and more innovative automotive solutions which are relevant for our consumers.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nDid you know that given a chance, 71 per cent of Malaysian owners would change their car colour. \nClick here\n to check out Nippon Paint's Trend Colours for Mobility 2018/19.\n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nSell your car through Carsome and connect yourself to over 800 used dealers through our bidding platform!\n\n", "Tags\nCars\nColour\nLifestyle", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Let\u2019s get you up to speed! Curious about how fuel prices are calculated in Malaysia? The formula used to calculate the price of fuel is called the Automatic Pricing Mechanism (APM) formula- so prices are updated weekly based on this formula. Bookmark this page for weekly up-to-date prices and information!\n\n\nFuel Prices for This Week: 27 July \u2013 2 August 2023\n\n\nThe weekly fuel prices in Malaysia for RON 95, RON 97, and diesel are updated every Wednesday evening and take effect on Thursday starting 12:00 AM till the following week (Wednesday 11:59 PM). Below are the\u00a0 updated fuel prices for this week:\n\n\nRON 95:\u00a0\nRM2.05 (no change)\n\n\nRON 97:\n RM3.37 (no change)\n\n\nDiesel:\n RM2.15 (no change)\n\n\nPetrol FAQs\n\n\nWe\u2019ve also compiled some of the frequently asked questions about petrol, its differences, and its prices.\u00a0\n\n\n1. Should I wait for the changes in petrol price before filling my car up?\u00a0\n\n\nWhile this might help you save a few bucks every other week when the price goes down, the oil price in Malaysia is determined by the global market which makes it difficult to gauge the cost in the long run.\u00a0\n\n\n2. What is RON?\n\u00a0\n\n\nIn Malaysia, you can find two different types of petrol used in cars, RON 95 and RON 97. People usually think RON has something to do with the quality of petrol which translates into the different prices between them both. But RON is just an abbreviation of Research Octane Number (RON) which signifies the branches of the hydrocarbons.\n\n\n3. \nWhat is the difference between RON 95 and RON 97?\n\n\n\n\nThe numbers just signify the number of branches of hydrocarbons. The higher the number of branches, the higher the level of compression needed to detonate the fuel. When the compression ratio is high, the horsepower per engine weight is also higher which in turn, gives you a high-performing engine.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Which RON should I use for my car?\n\n\nEvery car is manufactured with a minimum compression ratio, and the best way to know which fuel type best suits your car is to check it up with your service center. Generally, fuels with a higher number of octane (eg: RON97) are used in high-compression, high-performance engines. Filling a vehicle with a lower RON than the one specified by the car manufacturer may lead to pre-ignition, a scenario that could ruin the car engine in the long run or even result in an explosion.\n\n\n5. Can I use RON95 for my RON97 car?\u00a0\n\n\nYou can still fill your RON97 car with RON95 and your car will still run. But, it will not run effectively and cause a whole lot of damage to the engine in the long run which translates to more expenditure to repair it up.\u00a0\n\n\n6. Can I use RON97 for my RON95 car?\u00a0\n\n\nUsing RON97 in a RON95 car does not bring any harm to your car but it might end up hurting your wallet as RON97 is generally more expensive. You would not gain anything in terms of additional performance as your car\u2019s engine is made for RON95. RON97 is used for higher compression engines and is recommended for cars of 2,500cc and above.\u00a0\n\n\n7. What is the difference between Petrol and Diesel Petrol?\n\n\nThese both are made from the same base, mineral oil. The only difference is the way they are refined. Diesel petrol is said to be easier in refining and it also produces more energy during combustion.\u00a0\n\n\n8. What is the difference between Petrol and Diesel Engines?\u00a0\n\n\nOther than the obvious difference which is the petrol price, the one that sets these two apart is the way combustion happens. A petrol engine mixes fuel with air and gets compressed by pistons and this compressed mixture is ignited by the spark plugs to move the pistons.\u00a0\n\n\nDiesel engines on the other hand compress the air before adding fuel. High compression of air creates high temperature and heat that is used to combust the diesel fuel when it is added, so no spark plugs are needed to ignite the combustion.\u00a0\n\n\n9. Are cars powered by Diesel engines more efficient?\u00a0\n\n\nAs each liter of diesel produces more energy than petrol, it is said to be more efficient. And being more efficient means requiring less amount of diesel fuel to produce the same amount of power as petrol.\u00a0\n\n\n10. Which is better \u2013 RON95, RON97, or Diesel?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBetween these three types of fuel, none is superior to the other.

The e-tron showcases the brand\u2019s technological glimpse into the future via an all-electric SUV. Whether it\u2019s standing still or on the move, the e-tron is expressive in the sill area, electric tailboard and the light grey Singleframe at the front. Underneath, the most important part of the car takes place.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The e-tron is powered by two powerful electric motors that are CO2-neutral and virtually silent. A new generation of the quattro drive, the electric all-wheel drive, ensures excellent traction and dynamics. It ensures the continuous and variable regulation of the ideal distribution of drive torque between the two axles \u2013 within a fraction of a second.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The sporty character and transverse dynamics is thanks to the low and central position of which the battery system is installed. Packed with a 95 kWh battery pack, it provides the e-tron a range that is suitable for long distances. While the figure isn\u2019t disclosed yet, estimates put it at about 400 km. Audi also mentions that the battery can be recharged to 80 per cent in 30 minutes using a 150 kW charger.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Recuperation of energy from the electric motors is during far more than 90 per cent of all decelerations. It taps its maximum recuperation potential in combination with the integrated electrohydraulic brake control system. This makes Audi the world\u2019s first carmaker to use such a system in an electrically powered series production vehicle.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    In line with the aerodynamic efficiency, one of the noticeable highlights are the world\u2019s first optional virtual exterior mirrors in a production model. They not only reduce aerodynamic drag, but also take digitalisation to a new level.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    A vehicle of the future needs to be well connected. And the e-tron truly is. From navigation with the e-tron route planner, which displays the appropriate route with the required charging points, automated billing at the charging station, and all the way to remote control via smartphone, there\u2019s never a need to worry about power.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Further equipped with the high-end media centre MMI navigation plus including LTE Advanced and a Wi-Fi hotspot as standard, the car has standard efficiency assist that promotes an economic driving style by displaying predictive information and performing automatic recuperation.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nTL:DR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here\n to check out Audi's latest Q3!\n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nSell your car through Carsome and sit back and relax to fast, fair and free car selling the 21st century way!\n\n", "Tags\nCars\nLifestyle", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

The facelift came in four years later, and just a couple months back, the second gen reached our shores. Unlike the rounded style of the previous, the new compact SUV is without a doubt a crowd puller.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nLED sequential scrolling front headlamps pull the eyes towards the silhouette of the roofline. This opens up to the rear\u2019s 3D Claw Effect tail lamps. What the exterior attracts, is nothing compared to the interior of the new 3008.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe stunner comes from inside the new 3008. The brand\u2019s award winning i-Cockpit design is clearly a winner in futuristic and minimalist design. It is sophistication that feels tactile and premium, and one that is not just for the purpose of display. Buttons have been placed easily engaged, and the analogue world has been left behind to make way for the 21\nst\n century digital.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTwo variants are available here in Malaysia, the Active and top ranging Allure. Both variants are mechanically identical, powered by a 1.6-litre Twin Scroll Turbo High Pressure (THP) four-cylinder unit developing 165 hp with 240 Nm of torque from 1,400 rpm. The differences that separate the Active versus the Allure is the addition of LED headlamps with levelling, powered driver\u2019s seat with memory and LED cabin mood lighting for the interior.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThose interested will be thrilled to know that the safety features of Six Airbags, Hill Descent Control, Hill Start Assist, ESP, ABS, EBD, Brake Assist, DSC, Lane Departure Warning, Advanced Grip Control driving modes and most of the highlighting features are also available on both.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThings to know\n\n\n\n\nBefore we head into the driving impressions, there are a few things to note about the new 3008. The new steering wheel is smaller than usual. It features a flat top and bottom design, and takes about a day of driving to get used to, due to the angular sides of the wheel.\n\n\nGlove box space is limited due to the left hand drive conversion but there\u2019s a large 11-litre storage compartment in the centre armrest that can fit a medium sized handbag, or if you\u2019re going to a party, keep your drinks cold.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAmbient lighting in the Allure cabin is only illuminated for the front passengers. The lighting design only covers the doors, centre console and cup holders, omitting those seated at the back. A plus point for the multimedia front is the addition of Apple Carplay and Android Auto in the unit, which also happens to be a touchscreen.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDriving Impressions\n\n\n\n\nThe button feel does feel premium. Steering response is good, and due to the size of the wheel, manages to make it feel more sedan-like albeit seated higher as opposed to a larger SUV. I think you\u2019d know where we\u2019re going from here. Overall driving can be engaging with Sport mode active, and with little body roll, the suspension isn\u2019t too much of a pillow that it does soak up the unevenness with enough ply for it to be comfortable all round.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThanks to the digital display, you\u2019d get a nice touch of different designs in the form of Personal, Dials and Minimal to suit your style. While we weren\u2019t in conditions to try out the different Advanced Grip Control modes, it is good to note that the system is still two-wheel drive, with the system using traction to regulate torque and braking for best grip. We did however test the Hill Assist Descent Control that controls the throttle while going downhill.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nVerdict\n\n\n\n\nThe 3008 is Peugeot\u2019s latest and best we\u2019ve driven yet. It drives admirably well for a compact SUV and we like the whole style, vibe and feature offering the brand is headed to. Safety is uncompromised with a full five-star Euro NCAP rating and considering it\u2019s been awarded as the 2017 European Car of the Year, we can\u2019t fault almost five dozen judges that have gone round with last year\u2019s shortlist. Best yet, with the price of RM 155,888 for the Allure, there\u2019s quite a good healthy competition in the market for SUV\u2019s that provides consumers more options than just the usual few.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhat do you do after getting into an accident?

Pewangi kereta sudah menjadi aksesori wajib ada dalam hampir setiap kereta yang ada. Sebenarnya, kalau tiada pewangi kereta pun tak mengapa tetapi untuk perjalanan yang lebih selesa, ramai yang beli dan letakkan dalam kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nAda pelbagai jenis pewangi kereta yang dijual. Ada yang perlu diletakkan pada gril saluran pendingin hawa. Ada juga anda cuma perlu diletakkan di bahagian bawah radio kereta. Ada juga pewangi ini dijual dalam bentuk tin semburan. Kalau ada bau busuk, terus sembur dan kereta anda terus wangi!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: Times of India\n\n\nAnda nak tahu tak sebenarnya pewangi kereta ini boleh jahanamkan kereta anda! Bukan setakat jahanamkan kereta anda, pewangi kereta ini juga boleh memudaratkan kesihatan anda kerana ia diperbuat daripada bahan kimia yang berbahaya.\u00a0\n\n\nEh, kejap!\u00a0\n\n\nTakkanlah benda kecil boleh jahanamkan kereta dan jejaskan kesihatan pemandu serta penumpang? Tapi macam mana pewangi kereta boleh menyebabkan kerosakan dan jejaskan kesihatan?\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nElakkan Kereta Anda Berbau Busuk Dengan 8 Tips Mudah Gila Ini!\n\n\nNak tahu jawapannya?

Punca hakisan? Cecair pewangi kereta yang bocor dan jatuh di atas papan pemuka.\u00a0\n\n\nKebiasaannya ini terjadi kepada mereka yang menggunakan pewangi kereta jenis cecair. Sama ada yang digantung pada cermin pandang belakang ataupun yang disangkutkan pada gril pendingin hawa.\n\n\n\n\nSiapa suka pakai car perfume jenis liquid macam Ambi Pur tu, hati-hatilah ye.

Ia tidaklah menjejaskan fungsi papan pemuka tapi ia menyebabkan papan pemuka dipenuhi tompok-tompoh hakisan.\u00a0\n\n\nKenapa jadi begini? Kebanyakan pewangi kereta jenis cecair mengandungi alkohol serta bahan kimia lain yang boleh menyebabkan hakisan jika terkena pada plastik.\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk mengelakkan pewangi kereta bocor, sila buka pembungkusan dengan berhati-hati dan ikuti arahan penggunaan dengan betul.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Merosakkan Pendingin Hawa\u00a0\n\n\nPewangi kereta ada banyak jenis. Kebanyakan yang dipakai oleh pemandu Malaysia merupakan jenis cecair. Ada yang digantung pada cermin pandang belakang. Ada juga yang jenis diletakkan pada gril lubang pendingin hawa.\u00a0\n\n\nKepada mereka yang menggunakan jenis diletakkan pada gril pendingin hawa, berhati-hati kerana ia boleh menyebabkan kerosakan pada gril lubang pendingin hawa tersebut.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nMacam Mana Nak Kekal Sejuk Sepanjang Musim Panas Ini\n\n\nGril pendingin hawa cumalah beberapa keping plastik nipis yang tak kuat. Jika anda tolak dengan menggunakan jari pun ia boleh tercabut. Anda fikir apa akan jadi jika pewangi kereta yang berat diletakkan di situ?\u00a0\n\n\nDalam jangka masa panjang, ia boleh merosakkan bahagian gril pendingin hawa. Bila gril plastik akan longgar menyebabkan ia susah untuk dilaraskan bagi menyejukkan kereta dan penumpang.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Tak Mesra Kanak-Kanak\u00a0\n\n\nPewangi kereta, tak kira apa saja jenis sama ada jenis gel atau cecair, ia sebenarnya tak selamat untuk kanak-kanak. Jika cecair atau gel pewangi kereta ini terkena kulit kanak-kanak yang lembut, ia boleh menyebabkan kerengsaan, gatal-gatal, serta ketidakselesaan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nYang paling teruk boleh berlaku? Kanak-kanak akan mencapai pewangi kereta dan memasukkannya ke dalam mulut mereka. Cecair dan gel pewangi kereta mengandungi bahan-bahan kimia berbahaya yang boleh menyebabkan pelbagai komplikasi jika ditelan.\u00a0\n\n\n4.

Adakah dia sekadar mengada-ngada atau dia sebenarnya memang pening dengan bau pewangi kereta anda?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: The Guardian\n\n\nPewangi kereta mengandungi VOC atau sebatian organik mudah meruap seperti formaldehid.\u00a0 Pada kadar yang sedikit, ia tidak akan menyebabkan kesan yang teruk tetapi bagi sebahagian orang, ia cukup untuk menyebabkan pening kepala dan mual.\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, jika anda baru pasang pewangi kereta baharu dan mula rasa tak sedap badan selepas itu, ia mungkin berpunca daripada pewangi kereta yang anda baru beli. Selain itu, cecair pewangi kereta juga boleh menyebabkan kerengsaan dan juga gatal-gatal jika terkena pada kulit.\u00a0\n\n\n5. Menghalang Pandangan Pemandu\u00a0\n\n\nPewangi kereta terutama jenis yang digantung pada cermin pandang belakang sebenarnya boleh menyusahkan pemandu terutama jenis yang lebar. Ia boleh menghalang pandangan pemandu untuk melihat ke bahagian kiri bagi menukar laluan.\u00a0\n\n\nPemandu terpaksa menolak dahulu halangan (pewangi kereta) untuk mendapatkan pandangan yang jelas. Ini akan menyebabkan pemandu mengambil masa yang lama untuk membuat keputusan dan boleh menyebabkan kemalangan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKesimpulannya, pewangi kereta ini merupakan satu aksesori yang tak diperlukan pun sebenarnya melainkan keadaan mendesak. Seperti ada tumpahan makanan yang berbau dan kereta perlu dibersihkan secepat mungkin untuk digunakan.\u00a0\n\n\nMungkin menggunakan semburan pewangi pun sudah cukup, tapi pastikan anda jangan simpan semburan aerosol pewangi di dalam kereta kerana ia boleh menyebabkan kemalangan seperti \nkes tin aerosol meletup dalam kereta\n beberapa tahun lepas.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nJangan Simpan Barang Ini Dalam Kereta!\n\n\nCara Nak Pastikan Kereta Anda Tak Berbau Busuk\u00a0\n\n\n\u2018Tapi, kereta saya senang nak naik bau busuk.

Kalau tak, nanti tak selesalah masa memandu!\u2019\u00a0\n\n\nSebenarnya, ada banyak cara untuk anda pastikan kereta tak berbau busuk tanpa perlu bergantung kepada pewangi kereta. Ia bergantung kepada tahap kerajinan anda serta kesedaran yang anda ada untuk ini.\u00a0\n\n\nIkuti cara mudah ini untuk pastikan kereta anda tidak berbau busuk walaupun tanpa pewangi kereta:\u00a0\n\n\n1. Gunakan Pewangi Semula Jadi\n\n\nAnda tahu tak, bahan-bahan seperti biji kopi, daun pandan, dan juga rempah ratus boleh digunakan untuk menyingkirkan bau busuk dalam kereta anda. Ia mudah didapati seperti daripada kedai Aceh berdekatan rumah anda ataupun ia dah ada pun dalam rumah anda!\u00a0\n\n\nDaun pandan merupakan cara paling biasa digunakan. Beli saja beberapa helai, mungkin anda boleh ketuk sedikit untuk mengeluarkan aromanya, dan terus letak dalam kereta anda! Anda boleh letakkannya di bawah kerusi dan juga di dalam but kereta. Jangan lupa untuk keluarkan daun pandan tersebut apabila ia dah kering dan gantikannya dengan daun baharu.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: Neuroversiti\n\n\nSelain itu, anda juga boleh buatkan uncang kain yang diisikan dengan rempah seperti kayu manis dan juga lada hitam untuk menghilangkan bau kereta. Biji kopi yang dikisar sederhana halus (\nmedium grind\n) juga boleh digunakan bagi tujuan ini.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Bersihkan Sisa Makanan Secepat Mungkin\n\n\nAntara punca utama kereta berbau busuk ialah sisa makanan yang dibiar lama dalam kereta. Sisa makanan ini boleh membusuk jika tidak dibersihkan dengan segera lebih-lebih lagi sisa makanan yang basah.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSisa makanan juga boleh menarik kehadiran lipas ke dalam kereta anda. Lipas yang membiak di dalam kereta boleh menjadi punca bau busuk yang tidak terkawal.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Jangan Merokok!\u00a0\n\n\nSelain daripada merosakkan paru-paru, merokok juga boleh menyebabkan kereta anda berbau. Asap rokok boleh diserap oleh busa di dalam kerusi dan meninggalkan bau kuat nikotin bercampur tar dalam kereta anda.\n\n\n\n\nJika anda nak merokok, berhenti untuk merokok di mana-mana perhentian. Ini boleh mengelakkan kerusi kereta anda menyerap asap rokok dan menyebabkan bau busuk.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Bersihkan Kereta dengan Kerap\u00a0\n\n\nApabila ada masa lapang terutama di hujung minggu, apa kata anda luangkan masa sejam dua untuk mengemas dan membersihkan kereta anda. Buang sampah yang ada. Vakum habuk yang ada di dalam kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nApabila kereta anda bersih, tidak akan ada bau busuk yang akan timbul daripada kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\n5. Buat Cuci Perinci Secara Berkala\u00a0\n\n\nCuci perinci atau \ndetailing \nini merupakan cucian yang menyeluruh luar dan dalam kereta. Bagi bahagian dalam kereta, bahan pencuci khusus akan digunakan bagi membersihkan dan mencuci bahagian tersebut. Disebabkan itu, harganya cuci perinci ini agak mahal berbanding cucian biasa.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDisebabkan harganya yang agak mahal, anda tak perlu buat dengan kerap cuci perinci ini. Mungkin boleh buat cuci perinci ini sekali atau dua kali setahun. Selepas cuci perinci ini, barulah kereta anda terasa seperti baru keluar kedai!\u00a0\n\n\nNak Beli Ke Tak Nak Pewangi Kereta?\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, perlu atau tidak pewangi kereta ini?\u00a0\n\n\nIa sebenarnya bergantung kepada keperluan anda. Jika anda sukakan bauan yang menenangkan daripada pewangi kereta sepanjang memandu, tak salah untuk anda membeli. Pastikan anda mengikuti arahan yang ada pada pembungkusan produk.\u00a0\n\n\nJika anda ada anak kecil yang sedang membesar, mungkin anda nak elakkan beli pewangi kereta kerana ia boleh memudaratkan jika anak anda tertelan pewangi kereta tersebut.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: Volant\n\n\nJika pewangi kereta yang anda gunakan dah merosakkan papan pemuka kereta anda, buang terus dan ikuti tips yang kami kongsikan di atas. Ia lebih murah dan praktikal untuk diamalkan.\u00a0\n\n\nDiharapkan tips ini boleh membantu anda menjadikan kereta anda lebih wangi tanpa perlu bergantung kepada pewangi kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n*\nPenafian\n: Penulisan ini hanyalah pendapat peribadi penulis.

It is one of the earliest and portable methods used by people to light the way in the dark. When it came to lightings in transportation, oil lamps and lanterns were used in horse carriages, and even in the earliest motorized vehicles.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nFor Mercedes-Benz, the inventor of the automobile, the use of light has not only been the purpose of being a vehicle\u2019s light source but also for convenience and design. Today, the brand uses lights in all sorts of innovative ways, including using it as a mode of communication to other road users. This article from Daimler\u2019s news syndication looks at the history of the company\u2019s milestones in vehicle lighting.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nMercedes-Simplex 40 PS\n\n\n1886:\n Like their technical predecessor, the horse-drawn carriage \u2013 the world\u2019s first cars \u2013 were equipped with candlelit lanterns offering just a few meters of visibility. Driving in the dark was therefore, something of an adventure. Petroleum and carbide lamps shone a little more light into the dark, as did the introduction in around 1910 of the first (battery-powered) electric headlamps, which became increasingly prevalent in the 1920s. The advantage is that electric headlights meant an end to tiresome lighting and extinguishing. Later versions could even switch between primary and dipped beam. Initially, the headlamps were lowered by means of a mechanically actuated, movable ring over the bulb.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nMercedes-Benz 500 K Special Roadster, 1934.\n\n\n1934:\n Mercedes then unveiled Bilux lights in the 500 K (W29) model. These combined the main beams and dipped beam in a reflector. To this end, the dual-filament bulb produced two beams of different strengths and angles.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nMercedes-Benz 380 SL, 1971 to 1989\n\n\n1971:\n The Mercedes SL (R107) marked the introduction of the H4 bulb in cars. It was the first bulb to feature halogen technology for primary and dipped beam and immediately doubled visibility.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nMercedes-Benz W210 series of 1995\n\n\n1995:\n Xenon headlamps with dynamic range control in the E-Class (W210). Xenon gas-discharge lamps were a brilliant idea in every sense of the word. They tripled light emission compared with halogen lamps, lasted longer, consumed less power and produced a light color more similar to that of daylight, which made driving at night less strenuous. There was less dazzling of other road users thanks to dynamic range control.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nMercedes-Benz CL of 1999\n\n\n1999:\n The Mercedes CL (C215) featured bi-xenon technology in which the main beam is based on gas discharge for the first time.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n2003:\n The bi-xenon headlamps are enhanced by the active light function in the E-Class (W211).\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n2006:\n Mercedes unveiled its Intelligent Light System (ILS) in the E-Class (W211): an adaptive headlamp system with variable light distribution, which adapts to the weather, light and driving conditions automatically.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nMercedes-Benz CLS 350\n\n\n2010:\n The first dynamic LED headlamps in the CLS (C219). Like bi-xenon headlamps, the new light system features the tried-and-trusted Intelligent Light System, which has five light functions configured for typical driving or weather conditions: country mode, motorway mode, extended foglamps, active light function and cornering lights. The lighting specialists at Mercedes-Benz were also able for the first time to combine this LED technology with the already innovative Adaptive Highbeam Assist, which resulted in an all-new level of safety at night.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nClick here for Part 2\n of Piercing the dark: Mercedes-Benz\u2019s vehicle lighting has come a long way\n\n\nSource: Daimler News Syndication\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRead below for more stories!\n\n\nIf you are looking for Mercedes-Benz SUVs, you\u2019re in luck; the\u00a0\nlatest Mercedes GLC facelift range\n\u00a0is here!\n\n\nFind out why the entry-level \nMercedes-Benz E200 Sportstyle\n is still very much a wholesome executive sedan.\n\n\nDo you have unpaid traffic summonses? \nThe police are offering 50% discount until February 1\n! \n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car to Carsome and upgrade your ride to a Mercedes-Benz!\n\n", "Tags\nLifestyle", "Written by Carsome Editorial", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

From 1886 to 2010, the brand has gone from candlelight, to carbide lamps and bulbs. Part 2 looks at the present-day use of lights in Mercedes-Benz vehicles that go beyond just lighting the way.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n2013:\n Around 100 years after the introduction of electric vehicle lighting, the current S-Class (W222) became the world\u2019s first vehicle to do without bulbs entirely. It was the first car to feature solely LED lights as standard. The multi-level functionality of the rear lamps represented another world premiere: out of consideration for any road users behind, the brake lights and turn indicators were dimmed at night or while waiting at traffic lights.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2014:\n The CLS (218 model series) marked the debut of Multibeam LED headlamps. When it comes to the number of pixels, the same is true of LED headlights as of display screens: the higher the number of pixels, the higher the resolution and the more detailed the image. A high number of pixels also allows greater dynamism in the display. In terms of perception, this leads to an apparent increase in precision and brilliance. There are 24\u00a0high-performance LEDs per headlamp. Four control units per vehicle calculate the ideal light pattern 100\u00a0times per second and activate each LED individually, dimmable in 255 stages. Despite tremendous capacity, the precision main-beam module fits into the palm of one\u2019s hand. Each of the 24 high-performance LED chips are no more significant than the cross-section of a grain of rice.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n2015:\n The Mercedes-Benz F 015 Luxury in Motion research vehicle, which gave an insight into autonomous driving in the future, communicated visually with its surroundings. The aim was to ensure that, when the car was driving itself, other road users were aware of its intentions. Displays at the front and rear featured a communication matrix comprising three-dimensional, bar-shaped LED modules, together with two outer blocks made up of large LED bars. A slim LED light strip above the rear display was used for visualizing driving-specific functions such as braking, indicating and the current driving mode of the F 015. When the vehicle starts, the LED blocks in the two communication displays lit up in sequence. The F 015 used the color of its lights to indicate what driving mode it was currently in \u2013 blue stood for autonomous and white for manual.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n2016:\n World premiere of Multibeam LED headlamps with 84 pixels in the E-Class (W213). Each headlight now has 84 individually controlled high-performance LEDs rather than 24, meaning that they are exceptionally bright and precise, illuminating the road ahead with a previously unsurpassed, precision-controlled distribution of light \u2013 without dazzling other road users. \nClick here for our review of the E200 Sportstyle\n.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n2016:\n In the same year, Mercedes-Benz demonstrated what the future of vehicle headlamps looked like thanks to Digital Light. Maximum-performance dazzle-free continuous main beam in HD quality allowed pioneering driver assistance and communication with other road users. In each headlight there were chips with over a million micro-reflectors, i.e., a total of over two million per vehicle. Guiding lines projected onto the road surface, extended pedestrian marking and extended distance marking made it easier to navigate through difficult driving situations such as at road works, when pedestrians approached, or if the distance to the vehicle in front was too short.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n2018:\n Multibeam LED with 18 individually controlled high-performance LEDs are now also available in the A-Class and, therefore, in all Mercedes-Benz vehicle segments.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe entire outer skin of the vehicle becomes a communication medium. Various turquoise light signals on the vehicle indicate to pedestrians and surrounding traffic that the vehicle is operating in autonomous mode.\n\n\n2018:\n 360-degree light signaling unveiled on a \u201ccooperative S-Class.\u201d As an automated vehicle, it uses suitable light signals to inform people of what it intends to do. The continuous view shows that the car is in automatic driving mode, whether moving or stationary. On the other hand, slow flashing means the vehicle is braking, while fast flashing indicates that the car would shortly be running.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Experimental Safety Vehicle (ESF) 2019 uses light signals to communicate its intentions; it can also warn others of dangers it has detected. Both helps to created \u201cinformed trust\u201d between an automated vehicle and its surroundings.\n\n\n2019:\n The ESF 2019 safety research vehicle also communicates with other road users using light signals, as responsible motorists also regularly give signals like \u201cI have seen you,\u201d \u201cI will stay here,\u201d \u201cAttention, tailback\u201d or \u201cI\u2019ll give way to you\u201d to other road users. The ESF 2019 uses visible light signals in turquoise to do the same, thereby instilling confidence through information. Communication takes place via the large front panel, LEDs in the sensor unit on the roof, in the exterior mirror indicator repeaters and the third brake lamp, and via projections onto the rear window. Animations and symbols are used in relaying warnings and messages.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n2019:\n Unveiled at the Frankfurt International Motor Show, the Vision EQS is another highlight of innovative light development from Mercedes-Benz. The digital front grille allows a new level of precise signaling. With a total of 940 individual LEDs in a three-dimensional space, the light signals with which the vehicle communicates with its surroundings to create a fascinating impression of depth. Further highlights of the Vision EQS include the new Digital Light headlamps, each with two holographic lens modules. The lighting creates an almost unlimited number of display possibilities, providing an outlook on the future use of lighting by Mercedes-Benz. It also shows that the light of the future will also be necessary for man-machine communication and, therefore, a key element in the fields of safety, aesthetics and design.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nClick here for Part 1\n of Piercing the dark: Mercedes-Benz\u2019s vehicle lighting has come a long way\n\n\nSource: Daimler News Syndication\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRead below for more stories!\n\n\nThe \n2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA\n is bigger better and more SUV than before!\n\n\nThe sleek and powerful \nMercedes-AMG GT R and GT C\n are the quintessential cars for the track!\n\n\nAre you looking to sell your E-Hailing Vehicle?\u00a0\nHere\u2019s what to do first\n.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nUpgrade your ride to a Mercedes-Benz for the new year!

Inilah Punca & Cara Anda Boleh Membeli Kereta sebagai Graduan Baru", "By\n \nAhmad Azwadie Azman", "27/07/2021", "\n\n\n\n\n", "\n\nTahniah, anda telah berjaya! Sekarang anda secara rasminya seorang graduan, dan masa depan anda bermula di sini. Sebagai graduan, anda mungkin telah mendapat pekerjaan dan sekarang mahu membeli kereta pertama anda.\n\n\nWalau bagaimanapun, sebagai seorang graduan baharu, mendapatkan kelulusan pinjaman mungkin sukar disebabkan oleh kriteria bank yang ketat. Berikut ialah lima sebab yang biasa mengapa bank mungkin menolak permohonan pinjaman anda.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n1. Anda Tiada Skor Kredit\n\n\nApabila anda memohon pinjaman kereta, anda pasti akan mendengar istilah\u00a0 \nCentral Credit Reference Information System (CCRIS)\n \natau \nCredit Tip-Off Service (\nCTOS)\n.\u00a0 CCRIS diuruskan oleh Biro Kredit Bank Negara Malaysia,manakala CTOS pula merupakan sebuah agensi swasta. Kebanyakan institusi kewangan di Malaysia menggunakan kedua-dua laporan CTOS dan CCRIS untuk menilai kedudukan kredit anda.\u00a0\n\n\nWalau bagaimanapun, CCRIS tidak mengira skor kredit, sebaliknya sistem ini menyenaraikan maklumat kredit anda daripada pembekal perkhidmatan kewangan termasuk broker insurans, syarikat telekomunikasi dan sudah pastinya bank. Ini bermakna mereka boleh melihat setiap komitmen kewangan anda.\u00a0\n\n\nCTOS sebaliknya menjana skor kredit sebagai satu nombor dengan tiga digit. \nSkor kredit\n anda dihasilkan dengan mengira peratusan yang berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0sejarah pembayaran anda;\n\n\n\u00a0amaun pinjaman lain;\n\n\n\u00a0tempoh sejarah kredit;\n\n\n\u00a0permohonan kredit baharu; dan\n\n\n\u00a0rekod prestasi undang-undang anda.\n\n\n\n\nLebih tinggi skor, lebih baik kedudukan anda \u2013 sebarang nombor bawah 651 dianggap sebagai kurang daripada purata dan mungkin menjejaskan permohonan anda secara keseluruhan. Anda boleh melihat kad skor kredit CTOS \ndi sini\n.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSebagai graduan baharu, anda mungkin tidak mempunyai skor kredit disebabkan anda tidak memiliki sebarang pinjaman bawah nama anda. Pada skala CTOS, skor kredit anda berada dalam \u201cTiada skor\u201d. Oleh yang demikian, bank tidak dapat menentukan status kewangan anda dan juga membuat keputusan sama ada anda mampu membayar balik pinjaman atau tidak. Bank akan lebih berhati-hati untuk memberi pinjaman kepada anda disebabkan mereka tiada jaminan bahawa anda boleh membayar balik jumlah pinjaman.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Anda Baru Mendapat Kerja & Tidak Boleh Menyediakan Dokumen yang Diperlukan\n\n\nSemasa memohon pinjaman kereta, anda perlu menunjukkan dokumen kewangan termasuk slip gaji untuk individu yang bekerja. Kebanyakan bank memerlukan sejarah pekerjaan selama sekurang-kurangnya enam bulan untuk memastikan anda mempunyai pendapatan yang stabil untuk membiayai pinjaman.\u00a0\n\n\nMalangnya sebagai graduan baharu, anda mungkin baru mendapat pekerjaan yang pertama. Ini bermakna anda perlu menunggu sekurang-kurangnya enam bulan sebelum boleh memohon pinjaman. Dokumen sokongan yang diperlukan termasuklah penyata Kumpulan Wang Simpanan Pekerja (KWSP) yang anda tidak akan miliki melainkan anda sudah bekerja sebelum ini.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Debt Service Ratio (DSR) Terlalu Tinggi\n\n\nKatakanlah anda telah bekerja sekurang-kurang selama enam bulan tetapi dalam bulan-bulan sebelum itu, anda telah mengambil kad kredit. Ini akan ditunjukkan dalam laporan CCRIS dan CTOS anda. Daripada laporan tersebut, bank akan merujuk kepada kewajipan kredit ini sebagai komitmen kewangan bulanan anda. Mereka kemudiannya akan mengira DSR anda untuk mengetahui sama ada anda mampu membayar pinjaman yang lain (pinjaman kereta yang anda mohon).\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDSR ini penting disebabkan ia boleh menentukan keputusan permohonan anda. Secara asasnya, nisbah ini mengukur sama ada anda mempunyai wang tunai dalam tangan yang cukup untuk mengekalkan gaya hidup selepas menolak komitmen bulanan anda. Setiap had DSR adalah berbeza mengikut bank. Sebagai contoh, jika had DSR bank ialah 70 peratus, sebarang peratusan DSR melebihi 70 berkemungkinan besar akan ditolak atau tertakluk pada semakan yang lebih ketat. \nDSR yang sihat\n adalah antara 30 dan 40 peratus.\u00a0\n\n\nDSR dikira dengan membahagikan komitmen kewangan bulanan anda (pinjaman, kad kredit dan sebagainya) dengan jumlah pendapatan bulanan anda.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Dokumen Penjamin Anda Tidak Cukup Kukuh\n\n\nSalah satu cara untuk mengukuhkan permohonan pinjaman anda adalah dengan menggunakan penjamin. \nPenjamin\n ialah seseorang yang akan terikat secara undang-undang untuk menjelaskan sebarang amaun yang tertunggak jika peminjam utama (pemohon pinjaman) gagal membayar hutang.\u00a0\n\n\nBank lebih cenderung untuk meluluskan permohonan anda sekiranya anda mempunyai penjamin yang kuat. Ini disebabkan sekiranya berlaku sesuatu, penjamin berkewajipan untuk menyelesaikan sebarang bahagian pinjaman yang belum dibayar. Oleh itu, jika anda telah berusaha untuk memohon dengan penjamin tetapi pinjaman anda masih ditolak, ini mungkin berpunca daripada penjamin anda yang tidak cukup kuat.\u00a0\n\n\n\u201cKuat\u201d merujuk kepada status kewangan penjamin anda serta kemampuan mereka memberikan komitmen sekiranya anda (pemohon pinjaman) tidak mematuhi syarat pembayaran balik. Penjamin perlu menyerahkan dokumen pendapatan mereka selain bank akan memastikan kedudukan kewangan mereka dapat diterima.\u00a0\n\n\n5. Kelulusan Pinjaman Kereta Lebih Sukar Semasa Wabak\n\n\nAtas sebab-sebab di atas, kelulusan pinjaman kereta oleh bank menjadi semakin ketat. \nPresiden Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) Datuk Aishah Ahmad\n berkata pemohon menghadapi tempoh mendapatkan kelulusan yang lebih panjang disebabkan pemberi pinjaman menambah kriteria yang diperlukan untuk kelulusan. Ini termasuklah sama ada bakal peminjam bekerja dari rumah dan jenis industri yang diceburi oleh mereka.\u00a0\n\n\nSituasi ini menyukarkan lagi para graduan untuk membiayai kereta. Mereka yang baru mendapat pekerjaan yang pertama mungkin terpaksa melupakan rancangan mereka untuk memiliki kereta. Mujurlah Carsome melancarkan produk yang khusus untuk graduan membiayai kereta dengan mudah.\u00a0\n\n\nAnda Masih Boleh Membeli Kereta Pertama Anda dengan Carsome Capital\n\n\nOleh sebab penolakan permohonan pinjaman untuk graduan, Carsome Capital telah melancarkan penyelesaian yang mudah dan bebas dari masalah di mana graduan baru, atau mereka yang mempunyai sekurang-kurangnya Ijazah dalam tempoh lima tahun selepas tamat pengajian, kini dapat membeli kereta pertama mereka.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIni disebabkan Carsome Capital menerima \npemohon graduan yang berumur hingga 35 tahun\n untuk memohon hanya dengan Surat Tawaran Pekerjaan mereka!\u00a0\n\n\nAnda juga boleh memohon tempoh pinjaman sehingga sembilan tahun. Ini bermakna bayaran bulanan merupakan jumlah yang anda mampu bayar. Berikut adalah syarat-syarat lengkap:\n\n\n\n\nMemohon dengan Surat Tawaran Pekerjaan: \nAnda hanya perlu menunjukkan surat tawaran anda. Ini bagi membuktikan bahawa anda akan mempunyai pendapatan untuk menyokong pembayaran balik pinjaman. Kaedah ini sesuai untuk graduan yang baru sahaja mendapat pekerjaan pertama, atau baru-baru ini memperoleh pekerjaan baru, kerana anda tidak perlu menyediakan dokumentasi pendapatan sehingga enam bulan seperti yang anda lakukan dengan bank konvensional.\u00a0\n\n\nMemiliki sekurang-kurangnya sijil Ijazah:\n Anda layak selagi permohonan dalam masa lima tahun selepas tarikh tamat pengajian.\u00a0\n\n\nAnda hanya memerlukan seorang penjamin keselesaan: \nAnda boleh memohon dengan ibu bapa anda sebagai penjamin keselesaan. Ini berbeza dengan penjamin konvensional yang diperlukan oleh bank biasa. Untuk Carsome Capital, anda boleh memberikan sebarang bentuk pendapatan dari penjamin keselesaan anda tanpa syarat minimum.\u00a0\n\n\nLesen dan Kad Pengenalan Pemandu (KP): \nAnda perlu menyediakan KP dan lesen memandu anda. Ibu bapa anda juga perlu menyediakan KP mereka sebagai penjamin keselesaan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSeterusnya, anda boleh membayar balik jumlah pinjaman anda dengan mudah melalui Jompay. Walau bagaimanapun, anda hanya boleh memohon pilihan pembiayaan automatik ini apabila anda membeli kereta dengan Sijil Carsome.\u00a0\n\n\nBeli Kereta dengan Carsome Certified untuk Jaminan Mutu\u00a0\n\n\nSemua kereta Carsome Certified telah melepasi pemeriksaan 175 poin kami yang ketat untuk memastikan kenderaan bebas daripada kemalangan besar atau kerosakan kerangka atau kerosakan banjir.

Kini anda sudah bergelar seorang graduan dan anda perlu melalui alam pekerjaan pula selepas ni.\n\n\n\n\nBila fikir tentang pekerjaan, dah tentu lebih mudah untuk anda cari dan pergi kerja kalau ada sebuah kereta kan? Lebih-lebih lagi bila ada platform yang menawarkan cara pembelian kereta yang mudah, selamat, dan terjamin macam \nCARSOME\n.\n\n\nTapi, sebagai seorang graduan baharu, nak dapatkan kelulusan pinjaman kereta mungkin sukar disebabkan oleh kriteria ketat yang ditetapkan oleh pihak bank. Berikut adalah lima sebab mengapa pihak bank mungkin menolak permohonan pinjaman kereta anda kalau anda seorang graduan baharu.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n1. Anda Belum Ada Skor Kredit\n\n\nBila buat permohonan pinjaman \u2013 sama ada kereta atau rumah, anda pasti akan mendengar istilah \nCentral Credit Reference Information System (CCRIS)\n atau \nCredit Tip-Off Service (CTOS)\n. CCRIS diuruskan oleh Biro Kredit Bank Negara Malaysia, manakala CTOS pula merupakan sebuah agensi swasta. Kebanyakan institusi kewangan di Malaysia menggunakan kedua-dua laporan CTOS dan CCRIS untuk menilai kedudukan kredit anda.\n\n\nWalau bagaimanapun, CCRIS tidak mengira skor kredit, sebaliknya sistem ini menyenaraikan maklumat kredit anda daripada pembekal perkhidmatan kewangan termasuk broker insurans, syarikat telekomunikasi dan juga bank. Ini bermakna mereka boleh mengakses setiap komitmen kewangan anda.\n\n\nManakala menurut penjelasan daripada \nartikel iMoney ini\n, CTOS pula menjana skor kredit anda melalui sistem pemarkahan tiga digit \u2013 yang dihasilkan daripada pengiraan lima faktor yang berikut:\n\n\n\n\nsejarah pembayaran anda;\n\n\namaun pinjaman lain;\n\n\ntempoh sejarah kredit;\n\n\npermohonan kredit baharu; dan\n\n\nrekod prestasi undang-undang anda.\n\n\n\n\nLebih tinggi skor kredit, lebih baik kedudukan kewangan anda \u2013 sebarang nombor di bawah 651 dianggap sebagai kurang daripada purata dan mungkin menjejaskan permohonan anda secara keseluruhan. Anda boleh melihat kad skor kredit CTOS \ndi sini\n.\n\n\n\n\nSebagai graduan baharu, anda mungkin tidak mempunyai skor kredit disebabkan anda tidak memiliki sebarang pinjaman di bawah nama anda. Ini akan menyebabkan skor kredit anda jatuh kepada \u201cTiada skor\u201d.\n\n\nOleh yang demikian, pihak bank tidak dapat menentukan status kewangan anda dan mereka akan lebih berwaspada untuk memberi pinjaman kepada anda disebabkan mereka tiada jaminan bahawa anda boleh membayar balik pinjaman.\n\n\n2. Anda Baru Dapat Kerja & Tidak Boleh Menyediakan Dokumen yang Diperlukan\n\n\nSemasa memohon pinjaman kereta, pelbagai dokumen berkaitan kewangan anda perlu disediakan termasuk slip gaji bagi individu yang bekerja. Kebanyakan bank memerlukan sejarah pekerjaan selama sekurang-kurangnya enam bulan untuk memastikan anda mempunyai pendapatan yang stabil untuk membiayai pinjaman.\n\n\nMalangnya sebagai graduan baharu, anda mungkin baru sahaja mendapat pekerjaan pertama. Ini bermakna anda perlu menunggu sekurang-kurangnya enam bulan sebelum boleh memohon pinjaman.\n\n\nDi samping itu, anda juga mungkin masih belum memiliki dokumen sokongan yang diperlukan seperti penyata \nKumpulan Wang Simpanan Pekerja (KWSP)\n, melainkan jika anda dah pernah bekerja sebelum ini.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Debt Service Ratio (DSR) Terlalu Tinggi\n\n\nKatakanlah anda dah bekerja lebih daripada enam bulan tetapi dalam tempoh tersebut anda ada memohon dan menggunakan kad kredit. Maklumat ini akan ada dalam laporan CCRIS dan CTOS anda.\n\n\nMerujuk kepada laporan tersebut, bank akan mengambil kira perbelanjaan ini sebagai komitmen kewangan bulanan anda. Mereka kemudiannya akan mengira DSR anda untuk mengetahui sama ada anda mampu untuk membayar pinjaman yang lain (pinjaman kereta yang anda mohon).\n\n\n\n\nDSR ini penting disebabkan ia boleh menentukan keputusan permohonan anda. Secara asasnya, nisbah ini bertujuan untuk mengukur sama ada anda mempunyai aliran tunai yang mencukupi untuk menanggung gaya hidup anda selepas menolak komitmen bulanan yang ada.\u00a0\n\n\nSetiap had DSR adalah berbeza mengikut bank.Sebagai contoh, jika had DSR bank ialah 70 peratus, sebarang peratusan DSR melebihi 70 berkemungkinan besar akan ditolak atau akan tertakluk kepada semakan yang lebih ketat. \nDSR yang sihat\n adalah antara 30 dan 40 peratus.\n\n\nDSR dikira dengan membahagikan komitmen kewangan bulanan anda (pinjaman, kad kredit dan sebagainya) dengan jumlah pendapatan bulanan anda.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Dokumen Penjamin Anda Tidak Cukup Kukuh\n\n\nSalah satu cara untuk mengukuhkan permohonan pinjaman anda adalah dengan menggunakan penjamin. \nPenjamin\n ialah seseorang yang akan terikat secara undang-undang untuk menjelaskan sebarang amaun yang tertunggak jika peminjam utama (pemohon pinjaman) gagal membayar hutang.\n\n\nBank lebih cenderung untuk meluluskan permohonan anda sekiranya anda mempunyai penjamin dengan status kewangan yang kukuh. Ini penting kerana, jika sesuatu berlaku kepada peminjam utama, pihak bank boleh mendapatkan penjamin untuk menyelesaikan sebarang bahagian pinjaman yang belum dibayar.\n\n\nJadi, jika permohonan pinjaman anda masih ditolak walaupun dengan kehadiran seorang penjamin, ini mungkin bermakna penjamin anda tidak menepati syarat yang telah ditetapkan oleh pihak bank.\n\n\n5. Kelulusan Pinjaman Kereta Lebih Sukar Semasa Pandemik\n\n\nTambahan pula, dengan pandemik yang sedang melanda dunia sekarang, kelulusan pinjaman kereta kini sudah menjadi semakin ketat.\n\n\nPresiden Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) Datuk Aishah Ahmad\n berkata pemohon menghadapi tempoh mendapatkan kelulusan yang lebih panjang disebabkan pemberi pinjaman menambah kriteria yang diperlukan untuk kelulusan. Ini termasuklah sama ada bakal peminjam bekerja dari rumah atau pejabat dan juga jenis industri yang diceburi oleh mereka.\n\n\nSituasi ini menyukarkan lagi usaha graduan baharu untuk dapatkan pembiayaan kereta. Mereka yang baru sahaja dapat pekerjaan pertama mungkin terpaksa melupakan rancangan untuk memiliki kereta.\n\n\nWalaupun begitu, masih ada harapan bagi para graduan baharu kerana ada beberapa bank di Malaysia yang menawarkan skim graduan yang boleh digunakan untuk memohon pinjaman bagi mendapatkan kereta pertama dan CARSOME juga ada melancarkan produk yang khusus bagi membantu graduan mendapatkan pinjaman kereta dengan lebih mudah.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nBeli Kereta Pertama? Ini Perkara Penting Tentang Loan Kereta yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\nAnda Boleh Cuba Memohon Skim Graduan\n\n\nSebagai graduan baharu, agak sukar kalau anda nak sediakan semua dokumen yang diperlukan untuk memohon pinjaman kereta biasa. Selain itu, anda juga perlu memenuhi syarat-syarat pinjaman yang lain seperti mengemukakan slip gaji terkini dan menyediakan sekurang-kurangnya 10 peratus bayaran pendahuluan untuk kereta yang ingin dibeli.\n\n\nTetapi dengan skim graduan, anda boleh memiliki kenderaan tanpa perlu menyediakan bayaran pendahuluan yang tinggi, mengemukakan pelbagai dokumen, atau gaji minimum yang tinggi. Jika permohonan anda diluluskan, anda boleh mendapatkan pembiayaan sehingga 100 peratus daripada harga kereta dengan tempoh pinjaman sehingga sembilan tahun tetapi dengan kadar faedah yang lebih tinggi sedikit berbanding pinjaman kereta konvensional \u2013 sekitar 0.10 hingga 0.20 peratus lebih tinggi (anggaran kadar faedah biasa adalah daripada 2.8 hingga 4.5 peratus).\n\n\nBerikut ialah senarai bank tempatan yang menyediakan skim graduan jika anda berminat untuk memohon:\n\n\n\n\nCIMB \u2013 \nFirst Car Financing\n\n\nBank Muamalat \u2013\n \nMuamalat Auto Grad Scheme\n\n\nBank Rakyat \u2013 \nVehicle Financing-i (An Naqlu 2) \u2013 Graduate Scheme\n\n\nMaybank \u2013\n \nMy First Car Plan\n\n\nBank Islam \u2013\n \nVehicle Financing-i GradONE\n\n\n\n\nKelayakan\n\n\nUntuk layak memohon skim graduan, anda mestilah memenuhi syarat-syarat berikut:\n\n\n\n\nWarganegara Malaysia\n\n\nBerumur antara 20 hingga 35 tahun*\n\n\nMestilah graduan dengan kelayakan minimum Diploma atau Ijazah*\n\n\nPermohonan hendaklah dibuat dalam tempoh lima tahun dari tarikh tamat pengajian*\n\n\nGaji minimum RM1,800 dan ke atas*\n\n\nMempunyai pendapatan tetap*\n\n\nHanya sah untuk pembelian kereta nasional baharu\n\n\n\n\n*\nSyarat kelayakan akan berbeza-beza mengikut bank dan terma dan syarat skim yang telah ditetapkan.\n\n\nDokumen Yang Diperlukan\n\n\nJika anda layak memohon skim graduan, berikut adalah senarai dokumen yang anda perlu sediakan untuk permohonan anda:\n\n\n\n\nSalinan MyKad\n\n\nSalinan Lesen Memandu\n\n\nSalinan Diploma/Ijazah Sarjana Muda atau transkrip yang disahkan*\n\n\nSalinan Surat Tawaran Pekerjaan*\n\n\nSalinan slip gaji tiga bulan terkini (jika berkenaan) dan/atau salinan penyata bank tiga bulan terkini (jika berkenaan)**\n\n\n\n\n*Dokumen yang diperlukan mungkin berbeza mengikut bank dan terma dan syarat yang telah ditetapkan.\n\n\n**Bank berhak meminta dokumen tambahan.\n\n\nAtau Anda Juga Boleh Memohon Pinjaman CARSOME Capital\n\n\nUntuk membantu graduan baharu yang tidak berjaya mendapatkan pinjaman kereta, \nCARSOME Capital\n adalah penyelesaian yang mudah, khas bagi mereka yang mempunyai sekurang-kurangnya Diploma atau Ijazah Sarjana Muda untuk membeli kereta pertama mereka dalam tempoh lima tahun selepas tamat pengajian.\n\n\n\n\nBagi yang berminat nak memohon pinjaman kereta dengan CARSOME Capital, permohonan dibuka kepada graduan yang berumur hingga 35 tahun.

This, however, will be carried out in stages taking into account RFID usage rates. With the new RFID lanes, Malaysian highway users can enjoy a smoother journey with contactless payment at the toll plazas. In fact, the RFID technology can process toll payments even with vehicles traveling at 30 km/h.\u00a0\n\n\nThe RFID lanes implementation is in line with the Intelligent Transport System (ITS) Blueprint which includes the Multi-Lane Free Flow. This blueprint aims to provide a more convenient, safe, and fast service experience for users.\n\n\nWhat is RFID?\n\n\nRFID is a form of wireless communication that uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags as well as transfer data.

Your RFID funds are stored in the Touch \u2018n Go eWallet.

While there are a lot of similarities between automatic and manual transmissions, there are also plenty of differences. So, which one is better, automatic or manual? Let\u2019s find out.\n\n\n\n\nHow Does the Transmission System Work?\n\n\nThe transmission is one of the most complicated components in your car and comprises a series of gears housed in a metal box. Since the engine can only operate within a limited range of speeds, the transmission has to slow down or speed up the revolutions from the engine. By changing gears, the transmission can adjust the power and torque delivered to the wheels when the vehicle is traveling at any given speed.\n\n\nDifferent gears operate within a certain gear ratio and in lower gears, the available power and torque are increased for acceleration. However, in higher gears, the gear ratio provides less power and torque while allowing for a smoother drive when already at high speed. Automatic and manual transmissions work in almost the same way but they do have different components and come with different pros and cons.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nWhat to Do When Your Car Overheats\n\n\nNow that Malaysia allows one to hold a license for automatic transmission cars only, the question has become even more relevant \u2013 which one is better, a manual or an automatic car? There is no right or wrong when it comes to this question. Before going deeper into that, let\u2019s discuss how these gears work in a car.\n\n\nManual Transmission\n\n\nIn a manual transmission, you use the gear lever to shift gears as you accelerate and decelerate. The gear lever is located on the center console and is linked to the transmission. Besides the gear lever, a manual car also has a clutch pedal which is located to the left of the brake pedal.\u00a0\n\n\nPressing on the clutch pedal disengages the clutch that connects the engine and transmission, allowing you to change gears. After you change gears with the gear lever, letting go of the clutch pedal reengages the clutch which reconnects the engine to the transmission. This allows power to be sent through the transmission to the wheels.\n\n\nAutomatic Transmission\n\n\nAn automatic transmission works the same as a manual transmission, except that it changes gears automatically when you drive. Instead of the conventional mechanical clutch, an automatic gearbox uses automatic transmission fluid (ATF) inside of a torque converter to connect the engine to the transmission.\u00a0\n\n\nThe ATF is used to lock and unlock the planetary gear set which is responsible for setting up the correct gear ratios. Besides applying pressure in the transmission to change the gears, the ATF is also responsible for cooling and lubricating the automatic transmission system.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nIs Your Car Jerking? Here Are the Possible Causes\n\n\nContinuously Variable Transmission CVT)\n\n\nA CVT is a type of automatic transmission that does not have individual gears but instead uses a belt or chain attached to an engine pulley and a transmission pulley. Depending on the engine speed, a computer will adjust the size of the pulleys relative to each other.\u00a0\n\n\nWhen you\u2019re accelerating and need more torque, the transmission pulley becomes larger than the engine pulley, so the transmission can convert the high engine rpm to more power and torque. As the vehicle speed increases, the engine pulley gets larger than the transmission pulley allowing for a smoother drive and better fuel economy at higher speeds.\n\n\nAutomatic Or Manual Transmission: Which Is Better?\n\n\n\n\nManual Transmission\n\n\nThe manual transmission has been around for decades before the automatic transmission became more common in passenger cars. However, with the rapid development of automatic transmissions, most passenger cars are only available as automatics. So what are the pros and cons of a manual transmission? First, let\u2019s take a look at its benefits.\n\n\n\n\nCheaper: \nOn average, a manual car generally costs less than an automatic car of the same model. Other than the scheduled transmission fluid change, it also requires less maintenance and is generally cheaper to maintain and repair.\n\n\nBetter fuel efficiency:\n Overall, manual transmissions are less complex, weigh less, and have more gears than automatic ones allowing for better fuel efficiency in the higher gears. The end result is that you get more kilometers out of the petrol you pump in than you would with an automatic. Manual transmissions have been known to save drivers between 5% and 15% on their fuel costs.\n\n\nLess likely to be stolen:\n With the increasing number of automatic transmissions on the road, many thieves would not have learned how to drive a manual. Additionally, manual cars are generally less sought after. If a thief decides to mark your manual car to steal it, there\u2019s a good chance that the transmission would be able to change their mind.\n\n\nBetter control:\n Automatic transmissions are designed to choose the best gear for any situation, but they tend to make a mistake on the side of caution, shifting to too high of a gear and wasting engine power. At the same time, they are built to respond to conditions as they are encountered, which doesn\u2019t allow for drivers to either anticipate an oncoming condition or to purposely select a lower gear for an added boost of power. Manual transmissions give drivers greater control over the vehicle.\n\n\n\n\nRead More:\n \nHere Are the Most Fuel-Efficient Cars in Malaysia\n\n\n\n\nSome of the downsides of driving a manual transmission car include\n\n\n\n\nMore difficult to drive: \nLearning to drive a manual car often takes more time as you have to learn how to operate the clutch pedal and shift gears when you drive. It can also be challenging to drive in a hilly area since you could easily stall your vehicle if you\u2019re not careful.\n\n\nHeavy-traffic driving:\n Driving in heavy traffic conditions can be difficult due to constant stopping/starting and manual gear changes.\n\n\nLess Variety:\n Most cars manufactured now are automatic due to the fact that automatic cars are easier to drive and have a better demand. For car models that do have a manual version, it also tends to be in a lower trim level which may lack certain features, making it an even less appealing option.\n\n\n\n\nAutomatic Transmission\n\n\nAutomatic cars have practically replaced manual cars, especially among regular drivers. After all, automatic cars are easier to master and cause less fatigue in stop-and-go traffic. Here are some benefits of an automatic transmission.\n\n\n\n\nEasier to use:\n Most drivers take time to practise and learn to coordinate their limbs in order to control a manual transmission car. In an automatic car, the transmission changes the gears automatically. This makes an automatic car much easier for people to handle.\n\n\nNo stalling on the hill:\n If you\u2019re a less experienced driver, you may find that navigating steep inclines in a manual transmission is difficult, especially if you\u2019re attempting to do so from a dead stop. Automatic transmissions take care of this issue, enabling your car to run without stalling on the hill.\n\n\nEasier during heavy traffic:\n More work goes into accelerating, decelerating, and stopping a manual transmission car. Since you need to constantly manipulate the clutch pedal in heavy traffic, your legs can get fatigued when you drive during rush hour. Automatic transmissions allow the driver to move through heavy traffic without having to do more than push a single pedal.\n\n\n\n\nSome of the downsides of driving an automatic transmission car include\n\n\n\n\nExpensive: \nA new automatic car is generally more expensive than a manual car and the upkeep can be quite costly as automatic transmissions are more complex with a variety of working parts.\n\n\nNot as fuel-efficient:\n In the past, automatic cars tend to consume significantly more fuel than their manual counterparts. However, with advances in technology, modern automatic cars are getting just as fuel-efficient as manual ones.\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nTires: How to Tell a Quality Used Car from a Lousy One\n\n\n\n\nContinuously Variable Transmission (CVT)\n\n\nA car with a CVT offers a similar driving experience to one with a conventional automatic transmission but there are still some noticeable differences between the two. First, here are the benefits of a CVT.\n\n\n\n\nFuel efficient:\n Since a CVT uses a pulley system to continuously adjust the gearing ratio, it\u2019s able to keep the engine revving at lower revolutions per minute (rpm). This contributes to a better fuel consumption compared to both conventional automatic and manual transmissions.\n\n\nSmoother to drive:\n A CVT doesn\u2019t \u201cshift gears\u201d in the conventional sense. Therefore, you get a smoother ride in a car with CVT.\n\n\nEasy to drive:\n A car with CVT is just as easy to drive as a conventional automatic car since you don\u2019t need to shift gears while driving.\n\n\n\n\nNext, here are the cons of driving a car with CVT.\n\n\n\n\nIt may be noisier:\n Earlier iterations of the CVT tend to have more engine drone compared to other transmissions. Some drivers will also experience a \u201crubber band\u201d effect under a sudden throttle input. This results in a delayed acceleration even when the engine revs higher.\n\n\nIt is costly to repair:\n CVT gearboxes tend to be more expensive to repair and replace. However, by regularly servicing the transmission and replacing the CVT fluid on time, you can ensure that it runs for years without issues.\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nHow Pre-owned Cars Are Refurbished at the CARSOME Certified Lab\n\n\nChoose CARSOME for Peace of Mind\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a reliable, quality car, check out \nCARSOME\n.

Original rims or also known as aftermarket rims, are rims that are created by authorized companies for consumers who want to enhance the looks as well as the performance of their car.\n\n\nMeanwhile, replica rims are a copy of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket rims that are sold for a fraction of the original price while claiming to be at least 90% similar to its original counterpart.\n\n\n\n\nIt is important to be able to differentiate between the two rims so that you can avoid being scammed into paying full price for a replica rim. Here\u2019s how you can differentiate between an original rim and a replica rim.\n\n\nThe \u2018Made in \u2026\u2019 Stamp\n\n\nFor most original rims, especially the ones that are from Japan, there will be a \u2018Made in Japan\u2019 stamp on the outside and the inside of the rim, along with a production sticker to prove the authenticity of the rim.\n\n\nOn the other hand, when it comes to replica rims, the stamp and production sticker is not usually present. But if it is available, the quality of the stamp and print is usually a bit blurry and messy.\n\n\nDifference in Craftsmanship\n\n\nWhen you compare an original rim with a replica rim side by side, you\u2019ll see that the original rims are superior in terms of finish and color. Original rims have a brighter color and a shinier finish compared to replica rims which usually will come in a washed out color and a dull finish.\n\n\nRead more: \nTires: Fastest & Easiest Way to Tell a Quality Used Car from a Lousy One\n\n\nOriginal Rims vs Replica Rims \u2013 Which One is For You\n\n\nWhen choosing a rim, you may be wondering if you should buy original rims or replica rims for your car. Here are two factors that you should consider when deciding on your purchase.\n\n\nBudget\n\n\nBefore deciding to buy the most stylish rim you can find for your car, it\u2019s important to determine your budget first. A budget is crucial in order to help you decide what kind of rim you can afford to buy and if you should go for a brand new rim or a used one instead.\n\n\nFor example, a brand new, original 18 inch Advanti Hybris rim is sold at around RM3,280 per set. You can get a used one for between RM2,000 and RM1,500, depending on its condition.\n\n\nSafety\n\n\nBefore buying any type of car accessories, it is important to consider if the accessory is safe for your car. When it comes to buying rims, you also must take into account your driving style, road condition, and your car type, to make sure you will choose the right rim for your car.\n\n\nOriginal rims have gone through a detailed research process before being sold on the market. This is because it is designed to survive various types of driving and weather conditions as well as to ensure its durability. While replica rims are mostly safe to use, it is recommended that you always be alert and cautious since it may not have gone through the same quality control program as its original equivalent.\n\n\nIn a nutshell, choosing a good sport rim is not just about considering the quality of the rim or its brand, you also need to take into account other factors such as your car type, your budget, and your personal preference when it comes to choosing a rim design.\n\n\nWith that, we hope this guide will help you choose a sport rim for your new ride.

A Porsche 996 was beginning to accelerate after exiting the toll before it swiveled out of control, crashing into a Toyota Hilux in the opposite lane. As of this writing, there\u2019s no word on both drivers\u2019 conditions. But, it\u2019s safe to assume both walked out unscathed albeit with a huge deduction to their NCDs and one less Porsche on the street.\n\n\nOur condolences to the poor Porsche driver for needing to bear a huge amount of repair costs. However, as the viral video gets shared around, people have been asking how did the Porsche manage to swivel out of its lane? Did the Porsche lose control as it accelerated? First off, let\u2019s begin by talking about the Porsche in the picture.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nMeet the 5 most expensive Porsches ever sold at auction\n\n\nIntroducing the Porsche 996 GT2\n\n\nThe Porsche involved in the crash was presumably a 1997 \u2013 2006 Porsche 996. Although the authenticity of its GT2 specification is up to debate, we\u2019ll leave it to your speculations. Nevertheless, it\u2019s important to talk about the Porsche in the picture and why they are historically known as \u201c\nWidowmakers\n\u201d.\u00a0\n\n\nPorsche\u2019s core philosophy in their cars has always been using mid-engine, rear-wheel drive for all their 911 generation of cars. This particular generation of Porsche can be had with a 3.4 L \u2013 3.6 L naturally aspirated or turbocharged flat-six engine. Mated with either a five-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission that sends at least 484 PS and 596 Nm. Being a boxer engine, it has an incredible 5,700 RPM to match and does the century sprint in 3.6 seconds (Per 996 GT2 Specs), an impressive feat for a car made by 1999\u2019s standards.\u00a0\n\n\nImage Source: \nTop Speed.com\n\n\nFor the uninitiated, Mid-engine, Rear-wheel drive cars (MR) are vehicles with their engines and drivetrain mounted on the rear end. MR vehicles have a performance advantage in traction and acceleration compared to contemporary front-engine, rear, and front-wheel drive cars. However, this comes at a cost of poor weight distribution which causes a tendency to oversteer and crashes easily.\u00a0\n\n\nAside from Porsches, a handful of MR vehicles are available, such as Lamborghini\u2019s, the infamous Toyota MR2 lineups, and Pontiac Fieros. Even modern Porsches, despite all the driver assists, are prone to this issue as demonstrated on this \n2019 Porsche 911 Prototype\n at the Nurburgring.\u00a0\n\n\nNow it\u2019s hard to put the finger on the cause of the crash here. Some blame hydroplaning due to wet road conditions or just simply Porsche\u2019s iconic Snap Oversteer in action. Before we get into what snap oversteer is, we need to explain what\u2019s understeer and oversteer in vehicles first.\n\n\nRead More: \nPorsche 919 Evo Sets All-Time Fastest N\u00fcrburgring Nordschleife Lap Record!\n\n\nOversteer vs Understeer\n\n\nUndersteer\n\n\nSource: Initial D\n\n\nUndersteer occurs when your vehicle isn\u2019t turning as desired while cornering at high speeds. For example, when you turn your steering wheel to a sharp right, the whole car only turns slightly or still goes in a straight line, and the car crashes. Understeer is a common issue with front-wheel drive cars, but it can happen to rear-wheel and all-wheel drive too. To counter understeer, lift off the throttle to reduce speed and allow the front tires to regain traction. Additionally, braking early before taking the corner will further mitigate this problem from happening.\u00a0\n\n\nOversteer\n\n\nSource: Initial D\n\n\nIf understeer is common among front-wheel drive cars, then oversteer is prevalent among rear-wheel drive vehicles. Oversteer occurs when the rear wheels lose grip from using too much power needed while cornering, and the car crashes. Similarly, just like understeer, slow down by gently lifting the throttle of your car if you think the vehicle is about to turn more than expected or beginning to lose grip on the rear wheels. In the motoring world, oversteering is widely regarded as the basic principle for drifting. Cue the Eurobeat music.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat is Snap Oversteer?\n\n\nSource: \nMR2 Australia Youtube\n\n\nNow we got both principles explained, it\u2019s time to explain what snap oversteer did to that Porsche. Snap oversteer is a phenomenon in MR cars when the driver lifts off the throttle mid-cornering. What follows after, is all the weight at the rear of the vehicle gets sent to the front of the car in a quick motion; while making the rear suddenly light in weight. For vehicles, less weight applied on the wheels equates to lesser grip exerted \u2013 this sends the Porsche spinning out of control from all the weight and grip present at the front.\u00a0\n\n\nAlthough officially, it is dubbed as lift-off oversteer, the term snap oversteer tends to be applied when the vehicle in question is an MR layout. We suspect this Porsche accelerated too hard on wet roads and the following events transpired. There is a whole lot of physics to explain but this article we found \nhere\n puts it better and in detail.\u00a0\n\n\nHow Can I Counter Snap Oversteer?\n\n\nStart With Your Modifications\n\n\nA saying that is as old as time; prevention is better than cure. Or in this case, a total loss of your vehicle. If you do own an MR vehicle, consider applying the following modifications:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReducing the Ride Height of the Vehicle\u2019s Rear\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLowering the vehicle\u2019s ride height can increase the \ncenter of gravity\n \u2013 by shifting the weight and grip of the car to the rear. When more grip is applied to the rear of an MR vehicle, this lowers the chances of snap oversteer.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSoften the Rear Suspension of the Vehicle\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA softer suspension will provide a \nmore mechanical grip\n as opposed to a stiffer one. It reacts to irregularities on the road faster than stiffer springs; while offering minimal contact loss on the road. If you have aftermarket coilovers installed in your MR Vehicle, consider softening them to add more grip.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdjust Your Rear Camber Angle for More Negative Camber and Toe-in\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor those who don\u2019t know what negative camber is, look no further than your local modified cars with their tires angled at 45 Degrees.\n \nContrary to belief, negative camber, when done right, can provide \nincreased handling\n to your vehicle under heavy cornering. Toe-in, on the other hand, is when both \nwheels on the rear axle\n are closer together on the front; and further apart from the rear. Having some amount of toe-in can provide more \ngrip and stability\n to the rear of your MR vehicle.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStiffen up the Front Sway Bars (Anti-roll Bars)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSway bars or anti-roll bars are \naftermarket parts\n installed at the wheel axles that prevent your car from rolling around while turning. When you take a corner, the weight of the car gets shifted to the opposite direction of where your car is turning due to \ncentrifugal force\n. This is what causes your vehicle to rock like a boat during turns. Having a stiff anti-roll bar or sway bar installed can resist torsions allowing the car to \ncorner smoothly\n.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConsider Increasing the Vehicle\u2019s Downforce by Adding an Aero Kit\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHaving a big spoiler isn\u2019t just all for show either. All vehicles produce a \ncertain amount of airlift\n when cruising. In the case of high-performance cars, an aero kit or a spoiler can aid in \naerodynamics\n by providing an ample amount of \ndownforce\n that keeps the car planted on the road while at high speeds.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nHorsepower vs Torque, Which Is More Important for Your Car?\n\n\nNow We Talk About Technique\n\n\nBrake and Slow Down in a Straight Line\n\n\n\n\nBefore you can rush into a corner, bear in mind that an MR vehicle will behave very differently compared to other contemporary front-engined cars out there. Braking while cornering or accelerating too fast is how you turn your MR Porsche into a spinning Beyblade that will collide with the nearest wall, tree, or another car. By braking in a straight line, dropping a few gears, and feathering the throttle, it keeps the car steady while maintaining the \nweight balance\n it needed to prevent it from spinning out.\u00a0\n\n\nGo Gently on the Steering Wheel as Possible\n\n\n\n\nOnce your car has slowed down, you\u2019re going to need to turn the steering wheel as easily as it goes. Yanking the steering wheel too hard or without slowing down adequately is what causes understeer to happen. Oversteer follows after due to the rear weight being rapidly transferred to the front.\u00a0\n\n\nIf the Car Starts to Oversteer\u2026..\n\n\n\n\nIn the unfortunate case when the car starts to oversteer, do not let go of the throttle! Releasing your foot from the throttle is the quickest way to send the rear weight to the front that will spin out of control. Maintain your current pressure on the throttle and immediately counter-steer in the opposite direction. Once your vehicle straightens out, apply brakes and do a self-assessment of the vehicle\u2019s condition. Another simple way to counter this is to let go of the steering wheel while maintaining pressure on the throttle and let the car do the rest. Release your foot\u2019s pressure on the throttle if the vehicle has straightened up.

We conceivably hope that both parties can sort this accident out with a mutual agreement and make this incident a point of reference to inexperienced drivers for those who wish to own an MR vehicle in the future.\u00a0\n\n", "Tags\nCar Tips\nCars\nDriving\nLearning Centre\nNews", "Brian Wong", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

However, a pre-owned car can actually prove to be a great purchase if you buy the right one.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a car but are on the fence about buying one pre-owned \u2013 think again. Here are some busted misconceptions that prove pre-owned cars in Malaysia are worth the purchase.\n\n\n\n\nMyth 1: Used Cars Always Come in Bad Condition\n\n\nTruth: There are good quality pre-owned cars, if you know where to look.\u00a0\n\n\nThe perception is that used cars are old and riddled with problems. But while some car owners sell off their cars due to them being too old, many people actually do so to upgrade or downsize their vehicles because their needs have changed. Therefore, many used cars are only a few years old and are in relatively good condition. In fact, with \nproper maintenance\n, many modern vehicles can run without a hitch well past the 100,000-kilometer mark.\u00a0\n\n\nAlthough many used car dealerships do inspect and mildly refurbish the cars they sell, at \nCARSOME we take it up a notch with our detailed 175-point inspection that ensures every car is free of major accident and flood damage. Only a limited number of cars that satisfy our strict requirements get the \nCARSOME Certified\n seal of quality and are dubbed as roadworthy.\n\n\nFurthermore, all CARSOME Certified cars are professionally refurbished with a five-step process that covers:\n\n\n\n\nA stringent selection:\n We only select cars that have passed our 175-point inspection.\n\n\nMechanical and general repairs:\n We follow global safety standards during our repairs and even go beyond that when it comes to tire tread depth and brake pad thickness. We also use tools such as an Onboard Diagnostic Scanner (ODS) to service electronic issues.\n\n\nBody and paint:\n We carry out a three-step high-performance paint correction process and use only quality OEM paints. Following that, polishing is carried out with protective wax.\n\n\nDetailing:\n For the final touch, we carry out an exterior wash including the engine bay and an interior deep clean of the car.\n\n\nA final quality check\n:\n Lastly, we inspect every part of the car according to our strict standards.\n\n\n\n\nAfter going through our highly-detailed five-step refurbishment process, every car delivers safety beyond standards, complete comfort, and refurbished aesthetics.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRead More:\n \nCARSOME Certified Lab \u2013 Here\u2019s How CARSOME Refurbishes Pre-owned Cars\n\n\nMyth 2: Used Cars Don\u2019t Come With Warranty for Peace of Mind\n\n\nTruth: Not all! There may be leftover warranty coverage or just buy from CARSOME to enjoy a one-year warranty regardless.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nNew cars generally have a manufacturer\u2019s warranty of up to five years and if the owner sells it within the warranty period, the new buyer can still enjoy the leftover warranty coverage. Even if you purchase a used car with expired warranty coverage, most dealerships offer a limited warranty of several months on their pre-owned vehicles.\u00a0\n\n\nWe know the importance of a warranty, which is why every CARSOME Certified car comes with a one-year extended warranty that further elevates our promise of peace of mind.\u00a0\n\n\nMyth 3: You\u2019re Stuck with the Used Car You Bought No Matter What\n\n\nTruth: This is only true if you go the conventional way because there are pre-owned cars that come with a money-back guarantee.\n\n\nIn most cases, you won\u2019t be able to return a car that you\u2019ve bought, be it a new or used \ncar\n as the dealer isn\u2019t legally obligated to issue you a refund. However, under special circumstances, some dealerships do allow you to return the car if you\u2019re unhappy or if it has major issues. This is where CARSOME does it differently.\n\n\nCARSOME offers a five-day money-back guarantee on all cars, no questions asked. So if you change your mind or if you realize that it\u2019s not the best fit for you, you can return it for a\u00a0 refund.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nTips for Buying a Used Car\n\n\nMyth 4: You Have to Deal with Shady Dealers & Hidden Fees\n\n\nTruth: Hidden fees tend to exist with conventional used car buying, but platforms such as\u00a0 CARSOME practice fixed prices that are already all-inclusive.\u00a0\n\n\nMany people don\u2019t put in enough research when shopping for a used car. As a result, they may end up paying more than what the car is worth and even pay hidden fees imposed by conventional used car dealerships. This is why to get a good deal on a used car, you should research the original retail price of the car, compare prices at different dealerships, and check out the vehicle\u2019s market value online. You should also get a breakdown of other costs before finalizing the purchase.\u00a0\n\n\nBut, uncovering the price of a car can be quite a hassle in itself. So, to combat this, \nCARSOME not only ensures quality but our pre-owned cars are priced fairly according to their conditions with fixed prices and no hidden fees \u2013 the price you see on our website, is exactly the price you will pay. The listed price already includes the road tax, one-year warranty, ownership transfer fee, Puspakom inspection fee, and the loan processing fee.\u00a0\n\n\nAdditionally, you can access a full 175-point inspection report on the car and get a 360-degree unedited view of it on our website before you even visit our CARSOME Experience Center for a free test drive. We know transparency is important to you and we don\u2019t compromise.\n\n\n\n\nMyth 5: There Aren\u2019t Many Quality Pre-owned Cars & the Buying Process is a Nightmare\n\n\nTruth: It\u2019s not that hard to buy a pre-owned car. This is only true if you look at the wrong place \u2013\u00a0 you just need to know where to shop.\u00a0\n\n\nThese days, buying a used car in Malaysia is just as easy \u2013 if not easier \u2013 as buying a new one. Although you still have to submit the necessary paperwork such as your identification and financial documents, you don\u2019t need to wait months to get your car because it is readily available. These days, the wait for a new car can be up to several months, depending on the car you are looking for.\n\n\nAdditionally, when you buy a used car, it opens up the doors to an abundance of choices as many makes and brands are ready for test drives.\n On top of that, when you buy with CARSOME, you can shop whichever way is convenient to you. You can browse our large selection of cars of up to 30 car brands on our website or app and book a free test drive at a nearby CARSOME Experience Center. When you\u2019re ready to purchase, we\u2019ll handle all the paperwork for you. Then, you can pick up your car or even opt for it to be delivered to your doorstep.\n\n\nCARSOME Certified is More Than Just a Seal of Quality\u00a0\n\n\nAs you have read, many misconceptions about pre-owned cars are just not true. In fact, buying a pre-owned car in Malaysia can be a great choice, especially if you buy a CARSOME Certified car.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBy purchasing from CARSOME, you can enjoy a hassle-free process because CARSOME Certified is more than just a seal of quality \u2013 it is a new standard of buying a pre-owned car that offers peace of mind every step of the way\n.\u00a0 So if you\u2019re looking to \nbuy a pre-owned car\n or even \nsell yours\n, do check out CARSOME now!\u00a0\n\n\nRead More:\n CARSOME Certified \u2013 The New Standard of Buying Pre-owned Cars \n\n", "Devan S\nDevan believes written content is here to stay despite our depleting attention span and the rise of short videos.

That\u2019s right \u2013 pre-approved car loans do exist and there are a few advantages to this compared to conventional loans that require a longer wait time with a risk of possible rejection. Let us explain.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat is a Pre-approved Car Loan?\u00a0\n\n\nIt is exactly as its name \u2013 it is a car loan that has been approved prior to you even choosing a car you want.

That way, you will be able to shop for a car, knowing your exact affordability. \nFor example, you apply for a pre-approved car loan and get pre-approved for RM80,000. Hence, you can start shopping for a car within this limit. However, it does not mean you have to utilize the entire RM80,000. Instead, you can shop within the limit, calculate the monthly repayment amount, and set a realistic budget that fits your lifestyle.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAvoid disappointment\n: Since you have your car loan pre-approved, the process is much easier for you to secure a car. This is because you do not have to wait for your loan to get approved, which would be the case if you were to go the conventional route where you choose a car before applying for a loan. With pre-approval, you already know that you have the necessary financing to buy a car, avoiding potential loan rejection as you already know how much you can afford.\n\n\nDrive away almost immediately: \nThis ties in with point number two \u2013 after you choose a car, you can get it within a matter of days as you do not have to wait for loan approval.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nGet a Carsome Certified Car with a Pre-approved Car Loan with Carsome Capital\n\n\nNow, Carsome is all about providing our customers an end-to-end journey, with a completely seamless process that is made even better with the introduction of Carsome\u2019s pre-approved car loan.

When a recession hits, the most common consequences include rising inflation and unemployment, along with difficulty securing loans, which can all impact our ability to pay our bills.\n\n\nNow, while many economies around the globe have contracted in the past year, some experts agree that \nMalaysia is unlikely to enter a recession\n thanks to our economic diversification. With that being said, though, it\u2019s always wise to prepare for the worst and protect ourselves.\u00a0\n\n\nAnd that\u2019s what this article is here for \u2013 to provide you with some steps on what to do to prepare for a recession in case it hits us. So let\u2019s look at simple tips on how you can strengthen your finances and reduce your car expenses.\n\n\n\n\n1. Take Stock Of Your Finances & Create A Monthly Budget\n\n\nThe first step in preparing for a possible economic recession is to examine your monthly spending and adjust your budget. Knowing how much money is flowing into and out of your bank account can help you gauge where you stand financially and identify the best course of action to face a recession.\n\n\nWrite down your net income and expenditure every month, as well as how much you have in savings right now. Identify the categories you spend the most money on and see if they\u2019re really necessary or if you can cut down on some of them. If most of your income is going towards car expenses or eating out, you might want to filter out things that you can spend less on so you can be more aware of your spending. Once you\u2019ve looked at your expenses in detail, create or tweak your monthly budget and prioritize essential bills, expenses, and savings.\n\n\nRead More: \nPrepare Your Car for the Rainy Season with a Car Rain-Repellent Coating\n\n\n2. Pay Down Your Credit Card Debt\n\n\nA credit card can be a real lifesaver when you\u2019re short on cash, but if you depend on it too much and fail to settle your monthly bills in full, you\u2019ll end up with a mountain of credit card debt. Most credit cards in Malaysia have a high-interest rate, with the average being 15 percent per annum. And the monthly bills can snowball very quickly if you carry them forward every month. So if you have a habit of paying off only the minimum payment on your credit card bill, it\u2019s time to change that.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re already carrying your credit card debt forward regularly, it\u2019s a good idea to slow down spending with your card and pay off the balance as soon as possible first. That way, you\u2019ll be free of high-interest debt. Next, limit your credit card use and be sure to pay off your bill every single month.\n\n\n\n\nIf your credit card debt is too high to settle in a few months, you can consider applying for a low-interest balance-transfer plan. This allows you to transfer your high-interest credit card debt to a low-interest payment plan with up to a 36-month payment term.\n\n\nRead More: \nWhy Right Now is the Best Time to Get a Pre-owned Car\n\n\n3. Increase Your Emergency Savings\n\n\nAfter freeing up your budget, the next step to prepare for a recession is to boost your emergency savings. Most experts recommend having a minimum of six months worth of your salary saved up to help you with your daily expenses and bills in case of financial emergencies.\u00a0 These include everything from car expenses to mortgages and groceries. If you haven\u2019t already started building an emergency fund, the best time to start is now.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Keep Your Car in Top Condition\n\n\nOwning a car is one of the most expensive commitments most people have but it\u2019s also a necessity. To minimize the car ownership cost and prevent your car from becoming a liability, keeping it working as efficiently as possible is your best bet.\u00a0\n\n\nMake sure you follow your car\u2019s maintenance schedule provided by the manufacturer and use quality parts when you service it. You should also regularly \ncheck the fluid levels\n and other components such as the windshield wipers, air conditioner, battery, air filter, brakes, lights, and tires. Doing so will allow you to catch issues early and prevent malfunctions that are costly to repair. Lastly, keep your tires properly inflated as this can help you save fuel and \nprolong the life of your tires\n.\n\n\n5. Postpone Getting Non-essential Modifications & Accessories\n\n\nIt\u2019s totally understandable that you\u2019d want to spice up your car with mods and accessories to make it your own. After all, you probably drive it every day, spending hours behind the wheel each week. You might be eyeing that new infotainment system or aftermarket wheels but they do not actually make your car run better or keep it from breaking down.\u00a0\n\n\nTherefore, it\u2019s best to put off non-essential modifications like these, especially when you\u2019re trying to prepare for a possible recession. Instead, put that money into your emergency fund or in a low-risk investment, at least until the economy improves. With all that being said, it\u2019s still important to identify when a modification or repair is essential so be sure to consult your mechanic before you decide to postpone or proceed with anything.\n\n\nRead More: \nMost Fuel-Efficient Cars & How to Improve Fuel Efficiency\n\n\n\n\n6. Find Ways to Save on Driving Expenses\n\n\nWhile you can\u2019t reduce your \ncar loan\n payment, you can definitely find ways to reduce your driving expenses and other car ownership costs to have more cash on hand. Here are several tips to help you do that.\n\n\n\n\nTry to carpool to work. This saves you a lot of money and can also greatly reduce the wear and tear on your vehicle. You can find carpool buddies among people at your office, in your neighborhood, or even use carpool platforms such as \nWeRide\n where you can find recurring and one-off carpool buddies.\n\n\nPractice fuel-saving habits such as accelerating gently, maintaining a steady speed on the highways, avoiding sudden braking, and not overloading your car with random items.\n\n\nAvoid keeping your engine running when you\u2019re parked as it not only wastes fuel but also increases wear and tear on your engine and air conditioning system.\n\n\nGroup your errands together into one trip to avoid making multiple unnecessary trips and spending more on fuel. Also, plan the route for your errands to keep your mileage down.\n\n\nAvoid driving during peak hours to minimize the time you spend in traffic. If your workplace allows flexible working hours, it\u2019s a good idea to enter and leave your office later when most of the traffic has subsided. You can also practice this when you have to drive outstation such as on a work trip or vacation.\n\n\n\n\nWe hope these tips will help you be better prepared to face a possible economic downturn. With that said, being financially prudent and practicing good driving habits are things that can help us no matter the economic situation, so feel free to incorporate them into your daily life!\n\n\nChoose CARSOME for Affordability and Quality\n\n\nIf you need a car for your daily commute but are worried about preparing for a possible recession, your best bet is to find a quality, affordable pre-owned car like what we offer at \nCARSOME\n.

In 2019 alone, there were \n201 bicycle accidents\n in Malaysia with 107 of them being fatal, 35 serious injuries, and 59 light injuries.\n\n\nWhile many cyclists are making Putrajaya a cycling hub on weekends thanks to its relatively clear traffic and thus, safer roads, we should also be aware of how to drive around cyclists on busier roads. So, in conjunction with World Bicycle Day this 3rd June, here are seven safety tips for drivers to share the road with bicycles.\n\n\n1. Check Your Blind Spots\n\n\nWhen driving, it\u2019s important to always \ncheck your blind spots\n before changing lanes or making turns. This is especially important when driving near cyclists, as they tend to be much smaller and harder to spot. Make sure to do a thorough check of your blind spots before changing lanes or making a turn. By being aware of your blind spots, you\u2019ll not only contribute to reducing the number of bicycle accidents in Malaysia, but will be better able to avoid accidents with other motor vehicles as well.\n\n\n2. Give Cyclists Space\n\n\nAs a driver, you should give cyclists enough space when sharing the road. Make sure to leave around 1.5 meters of space between your car and the bicycle when passing it. This will leave enough space for both of you to react in case of unforeseen circumstances such as if another vehicle suddenly merges into the lane or if there is debris on the road. It\u2019s also important to be aware of cyclists when making turns or changing lanes so you can keep enough distance between your car and them.\n\n\nRead More: \nStay Out of a Pile-up Accident with These Tips\n\n\n3. Slow Down Around Bicycles\n\n\nWhen driving around bicycles on the road, it\u2019s important to always remember that they are vulnerable road users. As a motorist, you should reduce your speed when passing cyclists in order to give them extra room and time to react. This will also reduce the wind pressure that could push a cyclist to the side as you pass them by. Plus, it\u2019ll give you more time to react in case the cyclist unexpectedly comes in your way.\n\n\n4. Don\u2019t Cut in Front of Them\n\n\nWhen driving, always maintain a safe distance between your car and any bikes that are on the road. It\u2019s easy to expect a bicycle to stop on a dime for us, but bicycles can actually carry some speed and require enough time to stop, just like other vehicles. Treat bicycles like other vehicles and let them pass before cutting into a lane or junction. Give riders plenty of time and space to navigate the streets safely, and always use your turn signal when changing lanes.\n\n\n\n\n5. Avoid Driving in Bicycle Lanes\n\n\nIt\u2019s important for drivers to be aware of the presence of cyclists on the road and to respect their right to share the roadway. Bicycle lanes are designed for cyclists and should be avoided by drivers. When driving, always be mindful of bicycle lane markings and avoid crossing into them unless absolutely necessary, or when directed by a traffic sign or signal.\n\n\nRead More: \n3 Easy Tips to Avoid Car Mat-Related Accidents\n\n\n6. Check for Bicycles Before Exiting Your Car\n\n\nWhen exiting your car, make sure to check for any bicycles in the vicinity that may be riding alongside you. Be mindful of cyclists when you open your door, as they may be in the blind spot of your mirror and could be injured if you open the door without checking first. That being said, you should always practice this anyway since other cars and motorcycles could run into your door if you open it without checking.\n\n\n7. Be Alert to Their Signals\n\n\nBe aware of the cyclists sharing the road with you and stay alert to their signals. Cyclists are smaller and less visible than cars, so it\u2019s important to be on the lookout for them. Cyclists often use hand signals to indicate when they\u2019re turning or stopping, so be sure to pay attention to these signals in order to avoid collisions. If possible, make eye contact with them when at junctions so you both can communicate your intention to each other and avoid a bicycle-car accident.\n\n\nNo matter how experienced a driver you are, it\u2019s important to be extra cautious and aware when sharing the road with bicycles. By following these safety tips, you can help reduce the number of bicycle-car \naccidents\n. And who knows, with more awareness of bicycles, we might be able to improve our road infrastructure to be safer for everyone, from pedestrians to motorists alike.

However, the traditional process of \nselling a car\n isn\u2019t as clear cut as getting paid and handing over your keys \u2013 there are various other steps involved, including the dreaded paperwork.\n\n\n\n\nIt involves posting an ad for your car on online marketplaces or walking into a used car dealership to get a quote. You\u2019d also have to send it for repairs, clean it up thoroughly, and prepare all the required documents needed for the selling process.\n\n\nBut even after going through all that, you might have issues finding a proper interested buyer. This is where CARSOME steps in to make your life easier. We provide you with the trusted way to \nsell your car\n that is easy, hassle free, and most importantly safe, because we will assist you throughout the selling process.\n\n\n\n\nHere\u2019s what you need to know about the process involved and the documents needed when selling your car.\n\n\nRelated article:\n \nA Complete Guide on Buying or Selling Used Cars in Malaysia\n\n\nWhat Is the Car-Selling Process Like in Malaysia?\n\n\nThe process is much simpler if you have settled your car loan fully. But if you haven\u2019t, it can be quite a tedious process if you are going the traditional route \u2013 which is selling your car personally. \n\n\nThe Traditional Way of Selling Your Car\n\n\n\n\nSet your selling price: \nYou will need to find out how much your car is worth \u2013 this depends on factors such as your car\u2019s model, make, year, condition, and many others. You can estimate the price using online evaluators or find out how much other sellers are listing a car that is similar to yours on online marketplaces as a guide. However, do note that the price varies between cars despite being the same model, make, and year as it takes into account your car\u2019s current condition as well.\u00a0\n\n\nFind a buyer: \nOnce you\u2019ve determined your selling price, you have to understand that this may not be the final price you will sell it for as it depends on your negotiations with the buyer. You can look for a car dealer who can also check the value of your car (but this might be risky as he or she could undervalue your car\u2019s worth), or you can advertise your car online or put up a \u2018For Sale\u2019 sign up on your car.\n\n\nCheck your car loan:\n If you haven\u2019t settled your car loan, you will need to check the outstanding balance with the bank. In the best case scenario, the agreed price between you and the seller should cover your outstanding balance otherwise you would have to fork out the additional cost. For example, if you sell your car for RM30,000 but have an outstanding balance of RM40,000 with the bank, you will need to fork out an additional RM10,000 to settle your bank loan. \n\n\nGet the car inspected:\n Once you and the buyer have agreed to a price, you will need to get your car inspected at PUSPAKOM. This is to make sure your car is safe to drive and to confirm that the car has not been stolen and is not a cloned car. They will also make sure the car\u2019s specs follow the legal standards and is free of any illegal fittings, such as over-tinted windows. However, take note of how the buyer intends to pay for the car as cash payment is much easier to process and requires the\n \nB5 Puspakom Ownership Transfer Inspection\n, while the\n \nB7 Puspakom Hire Purchase Inspection Report\n is required if the seller intends to take a car loan to cover the cost. For more information on this, you can refer to our \nHow to Sell Your Car with an Existing Loan\n article.\n\n\n\n\nThe Following Documents are Needed When Selling Your Car:\n\n\n\n\nBoth parties\u2019 Identification Card (IC)\n\n\nOriginal Vehicle Registration Card\n\n\nB5 or B7 Inspection Report from PUSPAKOM\n\n\nJabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) K3 Form\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSell Your Car Quickly, Safely & Conveniently to CARSOME\n\n\nSelling a car the traditional way will have multiple back and forths that can drag on for days, if not weeks. That is, if the buyer doesn\u2019t back out of the deal.\n\n\n\n\nBut, when you sell your car to CARSOME, we will handle everything during the selling process for you, including the paperwork, and your car will be out of your hands in less than 24 hours*.

Namun begitu, masih ramai yang belum mengetahui ada perkara yang perlu dilakukan setelah\n loan\n kereta habis bayar. Jika anda sudah melangsaikan baki pinjaman kereta, anda disarankan untuk melakukan prosedur e-Batal JPJ. Prosedur e-Batal JPJ merujuk pada proses menukar nama pemilik kereta atau mengeluarkan nama bank daripada \ngeran kereta asal\n kepada nama anda.\n\n\nKredit: \nFacebook\n\n\nSecara amnya, kenderaan yang masih terikat dengan bayaran ansurans bulanan masih lagi menjadi hak milik bank atau institusi kewangan. Dalam erti kata lain, kereta yang dibeli bukanlah hak milik anda sepenuhnya selagi hutang pinjaman anda belum dilangsaikan sepenuhnya. Oleh sebab itu, anda perlu \nmenukar status hak milik kenderaan\n kepada nama anda setelah \nloan\n kereta anda berjaya diselesaikan. Geran kereta perlu mendapat pengesahan \u201cBatal Melalui Sistem\u201d bagi membolehkannya menjadi hak milik anda sepenuhnya.\n\n\nApa Yang Perlu Anda Lakukan Setelah \nLoan\n Kereta Habis Bayar?\n\n\nSekiranya anda membeli kereta melalui pinjaman bank, frasa \u201cHak Milik Dituntut oleh: XXXX\u201d biasanya tertulis pada geran kereta anda. Ini bermaksud, kereta anda adalah hak milik bank atau institusi kewangan selagi anda belum melangsaikan hutang pinjaman anda. Oleh sebab itu, anda perlu mengeluarkan status hak milik bank daripada geran kereta anda dengan melakukan proses e-Batal JPJ.\n\n\nSyarat Utama Prosedur e-Batal JPJ\n\n\nSecara amnya, anda perlu menjelaskan baki hutang pinjaman kereta anda terlebih dahulu sebelum melakukan proses e-Batal JPJ. Jika baki hutang pinjaman kereta masih ada, anda disarankan untuk menjelaskannya sebelum anda boleh memindahkan hak milik dari pihak bank kepada nama anda.\n\n\ne-Batal Maybank dan e-Batal CIMB: Tukar Hak Milik \nLoan\n Kereta Habis Bayar\n\n\nSekiranya anda telah menyelesaikan atau sudah menjelaskan baki bayaran pinjaman kereta, anda boleh merujuk proses e-Batal JPJ seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Selesaikan Baki Bayaran, Terima Geran Kereta Asal\n\n\nBiasanya, setelah anda menjelaskan bayaran terakhir, anda akan menerima geran asal daripada syarikat pengeluar kenderaan yang anda berurusan.\n\n\n2. Dapatkan Surat Pelepasan daripada Bank\n\n\nHubungi pihak bank dan tanyakan sama ada surat pelepasan telah dikeluarkan oleh pihak bank atau institusi kewangan bagi meneruskan prosedur pembatalan. Surat pelepasan ini menandakan pihak bank telah melepaskan tuntutan terhadap kereta anda. Biasanya, pihak bank akan menghantar terus surat pelepasan ini kepada pihak JPJ.\n\n\n3. Hadir ke Mana-mana Cawangan JPJ\n\n\nJika surat pelepasan sudah dikeluarkan, hadir ke mana-mana cawangan JPJ berhampiran anda untuk mematikan, mengeluarkan dan/atau membatalkan hak milik bank peminjam daripada geran asal kenderaan. Nyatakan kepada pegawai bertugas anda ingin melakukan pembatalan pada geran kereta yang sudah habis bayar. Ambil nombor giliran dan tunggu sehingga giliran anda dipanggil. Prosedur ini biasanya tidak memakan masa yang lama \u2013 kurang daripada lima minit atau mungkin lebih bergantung pada situasi dan keadaan semasa.\n\n\n4. Proses Selesai\n\n\nPastikan terdapat cop e-Batal pada geran kereta mengikut prosedur yang ditetapkan oleh JPJ. Sekiranya anda menerima cop ini, ia bermaksud kereta anda telah menjadi hak milik anda sepenuhnya.\n\n\n\n\nProses e-Batal JPJ merupakan salah satu prosedur yang mudah dan penting untuk dilakukan.

Atas faktor ini, ramai dalam kalangan pemilik kereta mengambil keputusan untuk menukar warna cat kereta mengikut ekspresi, gaya dan keperibadian pemilik. Berdasarkan data daripada Carsome Insights, warna akromatik (putih dan perak) merupakan \nwarna kereta paling popular\n bagi tahun 2020 di Malaysia, diikuti dengan warna hitam, kelabu dan biru.\n\n\nSecara amnya, penukaran warna cat kereta bukanlah menjadi suatu kesalahan.

Haji Mohamad Dalib, apa-apa perubahan yang dilakukan terhadap bahagian tertentu kenderaan perlu dilaporkan kepada JPJ dalam tempoh tujuh hari selepas perubahan dilakukan. Dalam erti kata lain, apa-apa perubahan boleh dilakukan dengan syarat mendapat kebenaran terlebih dahulu daripada pihak JPJ untuk mengelakkan masalah lain kepada pemilik pada masa akan datang.\n\n\nPanduan Tukar Warna Cat Kereta atau Warna Kenderaan JPJ\n\n\nCarsome menyediakan prosedur lengkap untuk tukar warna kenderaan atau cat kereta berikut untuk rujukan anda:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerkara pertama yang perlu dilakukan sebelum mendapatkan kelulusan pengubahsuaian ialah cat kenderaan anda terlebih dahulu. Jika anda mengecat kenderaan lebih daripada satu warna, warna yang paling banyak atau warna dominan dianggap sebagai warna utama kenderaan;\n\n\nSetelah proses mengecat kenderaan selesai, hadir ke pejabat JPJ untuk pemeriksaan dan kemas kini maklumat;\n\n\nAnda perlu mengisi borang JPJ K8 (\nNotis Pertukaran Butir-Butir Kenderaan dan Pemunya Berdaftar), kemudian, \nserahkan kepada pegawai JPJ yang bertugas;\n\n\nPegawai JPJ akan memeriksa warna pada kenderaan anda sebelum kelulusan diberikan. Jika lulus, maklumat anda akan dikemas kini dalam sistem MySikap;\n\n\nTiada bayaran akan dikenakan untuk prosedur ini.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKredit: \nJabatan Pengangkutan Jalan\n\n\nAdakah \nBody Wrap\n Kereta Persendirian Turut Menyalahi Undang-undang?\n\n\nSelain menukar warna cat, kebanyakan pemilik kereta juga memilih untuk melakukan \nbody wrap \natau membalut kereta dengan menggunakan pelekat khas. Cara ini bukan sahaja lebih mudah dan senang, malah lebih efektif dalam melindungi warna asal kenderaan. Namun begitu, sama seperti menukar warna cat kereta, penggunaan \nbody wrap\n juga turut menjadi kesalahan dalam kategori yang sama.\n\n\nBerdasarkan Seksyen (12) Akta Pengangkutan Jalan 1987, setiap pemilik kenderaan yang menukar warna kereta perlu diberi suatu Notis Arah Periksa atau PG1. Notis tersebut diberikan supaya pemilik mengisytiharkan kepada JPJ mengenai perubahan warna kenderaan yang dilakukan. Pihak JPJ biasanya tidak mengeluarkan saman atas sebab pemilik menukar warna sesebuah kenderaan. Namun begitu, saman dikeluarkan apabila pemilik ingkar Notis Arah Periksa atau PG1.\n\n\nSebagai contoh, dalam situasi sekatan jalan raya, pegawai JPJ memeriksa sebuah kenderaan dan mendapati warna kenderaan yang ditahan tidak sama dengan maklumat yang dinyatakan dalam sistem. Biasanya, pegawai akan mengeluarkan surat arahan pemeriksaan yang memerlukan permilik kenderaan untuk hadir ke pejabat JPJ untuk membuat pengisytiharan perubahan warna dan semakan lanjut. Sekiranya pemilik gagal hadir, saman akan dikeluarkan atas kesalahan ingkar Notis Arah Periksa dan bukannya disebabkan oleh penukaran warna kenderaan.\n\n\nKepentingan Melakukan Modifikasi dengan Kelulusan JPJ\n\n\nSecara asasnya, anda boleh menukar warna asal kereta anda kepada apa jua jenis warna sekalipun asalkan anda memaklumkan perubahan ini kepada pihak JPJ. Jika tidak memaklumkan penukaran warna cat kereta, anda mungkin berpotensi untuk dikenakan saman. Malah, dalam kes tertentu, anda mungkin boleh dikenakan saman untuk dua kesalahan trafik yang berbeza. Sebagai contoh, sekiranya anda memandu kenderaan melebihi had laju, anda akan menerima saman kesalahan trafik tersebut (\nsaman \nspeedtrack\n atau AES\n). Jika pihak polis mendapati warna kereta yang disaman adalah berbeza dengan rekod JPJ sedia ada, anda mungkin juga akan menerima saman kerana menukar warna cat kenderaan tanpa kebenaran.\n\n\nDaripada aspek tuntutan insurans pula, tiada implikasi yang boleh dikaitkan dengan penukaran warna kenderaan. Namun begitu, perbezaan antara rekod pendaftaran dan keadaan semasa kereta mungkin boleh menjadi sumber pertikaian atau komplikasi semasa \ntuntutan insurans\n. Contohnya, jika kenderaan anda terlibat dalam kemalangan dan pihak insurans mendapati warna kereta yang dinyatakan dalam rekod pendaftaran tidak sama dengan warna semasa kenderaan, besar kemungkinan pihak insurans tidak mahu menanggung kerugian yang dialami oleh pemilik.\n\n\n\n\nBuat masa ini, urusan permohonan penukaran warna ini hanya boleh dilakukan di kaunter JPJ. Untuk memudahkan urusan, anda boleh memuat turun borang \nNotis Pertukaran Butir-Butir Kenderaan Dan Pemunya Berdaftar (JPJ K8) \ndi portal rasmi \nJabatan Pengangkutan Jalan Malaysia\n \nterlebih dahulu untuk mengelakkan kesesakan di kaunter JPJ.\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda sedang mempertimbangkan untuk\n\u00a0\nmenjual kereta lama\u00a0\ndan berminat untuk mendapatkan\n\u00a0\nkereta terpakai baharu\n, layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

With the advancement of technology and the introduction of AI (Artificial Intelligence), you would expect our roads to be filled with autonomous cars, but why aren\u2019t there any?\n\n\n\n\nEveryone is extremely curious of how it would be to be in a car that steers and accelerates itself automatically but despite extraordinary efforts from leading automobile manufacturers like Tesla, Ford, Audi and Volvo who are trying to pave the way with their technology, autonomous cars are still out of reach.\n\n\nYou can buy a car that can detect collision by braking automatically, or one that helps you stay in your lane, but these features are far from making it a self-driving car. So in the near future for Malaysia, is the autonomous car a thing to look forward to or is it just a dream?\n\n\nHow Exactly does an Autonomous Car work?\n\n\nThe idea behind a self-driving car is fairly simple. Take a car, fix it up with cameras on all corners to track all the objects around it and have the car react if it\u2019s about to steer into one. Teach in-car computers the rules of the road and set them off to navigate to their own destination. Though following a list of rules is what driving is all about, it is not enough to drive as well as human\u2019s do as we do things like make eye contact with other drivers when in a junction to determine who goes first, react to different weather conditions and also make judgement calls that would be difficult for an AI to do in a hard-and-fast-rules. Some other things include training the car\u2019s computer to build a picture of where other cars, cyclists, pedestrians, and obstacles are and where they are currently moving. Though some of these things might seem easy, they are surprisingly complex.\n\n\nAutonomous Cars: Are they Safe?\n\n\nMany are still doubtful on how efficient the technology of a self-driving car is. Would this type of car be safe to be driven on Malaysian roads? Here are 5 reasons why the said car would not be possible currently to be driven in Malaysia.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \u00a0 Sensor System in an Autonomous Car\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA self-driving car is equipped with different sensors, camera and radars that would help a car \u201csee\u201d and track different objects on the road, and to trace the direction and speed of other vehicles. It is also fitted with Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) that uses laser lights to measure the distance between the car and objects around the car. It would then send the information to the car\u2019s control system to decide if it would need to speed up or to brake.\n\n\n\n\nBut in Malaysia, with the uncertain traffic and weather conditions as well and the vandalism culture that is known for spoiling the road signs, these factors can affect the reading accuracy of the sensors which would deem unsafe for this kind of cars here.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \u00a0 Artificial Intelligence\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAutonomous car uses artificial intelligence to process the data accumulated from the sensors which will be processed and next steps that should be taken will be determined. This algorithm will identify and categorize objects according to different categories \u2013 pedestrians, roads signs and others which will then determine which action should be taken next, whether to brake or to accelerate.\n\n\n\n\nBut at this current time, the algorithm that is used does not guarantee its effectiveness and safety. In fact, there is no specific standardization of how this artificial intelligence will be trained, tested, or validated.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \u00a0 \n Open Road System\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Malaysia, especially in the Klang Valley region, a new road, or a new highway emerges every single time due to the increasing number of vehicles on the road every year. The autonomous car might drive on a new road and encounter an object that it might not have seen in any of the previous training sessions. It will thus complicate the process of identifying objects that can affect the effectiveness of the system. As such, self-driving cars are subject to constant updates and upgrades at all times. Without continuous updates, existing software will not be able to support the latest road versions.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0 \nRoad Regulations\n\n\n\n\nRoad regulations and driving standards for self-driving cars are yet to exist in the automotive industry at the current time. There are international regulations set for self-driving car systems that have relevant requirements but still do not solve the problems of sensors, artificial intelligence and other operations mentioned above. With existing laws, some questions that might arise include:\n\n\n\n\n \u00a0 \n \nWho is responsible in the event of a road accident involving an autonomous car?\n\n\n \u00a0 \n \nWill JPJ issue a trial driving license for those with an autonomous car?\n\n\n \u00a0 \n \nAre there any standard operating procedures that need to be followed before the government allows these cars to be on the road?\n\n\n \u00a0 \n \nSocial Acceptability\n\n\n\n\nSocial acceptance does not only involve the issue of autonomous car owners alone but also involves other individuals who share the same road. The public should be involved in decisions on the identification and acceptance of self-driving cars. Without this, the risk of society\u2019s rejection towards this technology is extremely high. In fact, without the comprehensive cooperation that makes this car a safe one, many will question the safety aspect even though it is said to be able to reduce the risk of accidents due to negligence.\n\n\nWith all these factors, do you think Malaysia is ready for its first autonomous car? What brand or model car are you looking forward to? If you are looking for your dream car (not an autonomous car for now), start your search on \nCarsome\n, the best platform that buys and sells cars in Malaysia.

Cara Tukar Nama Kereta \nOwner\n Meninggal Dunia\n\n\nSecara amnya, proses tukar nama kereta\n owner\n meninggal dunia boleh menjadi sedikit rumit jika pemilik asal tidak meninggalkan sebarang wasiat terhadap harta yang ditinggalkan. Jika situasi ini berlaku, waris perlu membuat permohonan terlebih dahulu di Unit Pembahagian Harta Pusaka Kecil atau Pejabat Tanah bagi menetapkan individu yang berhak terhadap harta yang ditinggalkan. Carsome menyenaraikan panduan lengkap cara tukar nama kereta jika penama pada geran kereta atau pemilik asal (\nowner\n kereta) meninggal dunia seperti berikut untuk rujukan dan panduan anda:\n\n\n1. Pembahagian Harta Pusaka Kecil\n\n\nJika pemilik asal tidak meninggalkan sebarang wasiat, waris boleh membuat permohonan pembahagian harta pusaka kecil terlebih dahulu. Langkah-langkah permohonan harta pusaka kecil boleh didapati \ndi sini.\n Setelah proses pengagihan harta selesai, pihak waris akan menerima surat perintah pembahagian ke atas setiap pemilikan harta yang ditinggalkan oleh pemilik asal berdaftar yang telah meninggal dunia.\n\n\nWaris yang memperoleh kenderaan atas nama si mati perlu melakukan proses tukar nama kereta (tukar hak milik kenderaan) menggunakan surat perintah pembahagian sebagai bukti pengesahan atau sokongan pemilikan baharu.\n\n\nPembaharuan cukai jalan atau road tax kereta bagi kenderaan yang masih berdaftar atas nama pemilik yang telah meninggal dunia hanya boleh diperbaharui SEKALI SAHAJA untuk tempoh enam (6) bulan oleh waris terdekat. Setelah tamat tempoh enam (6) bulan, pembaharuan cukai jalan ke atas kenderaan tersebut TIDAK lagi boleh dilakukan.\n\n\nWaris disarankan untuk membuat permohonan tukar hak milik kenderaan dengan segera sebelum cukai jalan tamat tempoh bagi mengelakkan sebarang kesulitan atau masalah lain yang tidak dapat dielakkan. Bagi proses pembaharuan cukai jalan kenderaan (\nowner\n kereta meninggal dunia), urusan pembaharuan cukai jalan hanya boleh dilakukan di kaunter JPJ sahaja.\n\n\n2. Pemeriksaan Puspakom untuk Tukar Hak Milik\n\n\nSebelum proses tukar nama motor atau tukar nama kereta dilakukan, semua kenderaan persendirian perlu menjalani pemeriksaan mandatori di Puspakom. Bagi urusan pemeriksaan Puspakom tukar nama ini, waris perlu membawa kenderaan dan geran asal ke Puspakom untuk pemeriksaan. Setelah selesai, pihak Puspakom akan mengeluarkan\n Laporan B5 Puspakom\n yang akan digunakan semasa proses tukar hak milik kenderaan di JPJ.\n\n\nWaris disarankan untuk menyelesaikan urusan Permohonan Pembahagian Harta Pusaka Kecil terlebih dahulu sebelum menjalani pemeriksaan tukar nama kereta di Puspakom. Ini kerana, urusan pembahagian harta mungkin mengambil masa yang lebih lama berbanding tempoh sah laku laporan B5 Puspakom yang hanya boleh diguna pakai dalam tempoh 30 hari sahaja daripada tarikh pemeriksaan.\n\n\n3. Proses Tukar Nama JPJ\n\n\nSetelah pengesahan milikan baharu kenderaan diterima daripada pentadbiran pusaka atau perintah mahkamah, dan waris telah mendapat kelulusan pemeriksaan tukar hak milik kenderaan (Laporan B5) daripada Puspakom \u2013 waris boleh memulakan proses tukar nama kereta di mana-mana cawangan Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan berdekatan.

Ia merupakan jenama tempatan pertama yang setanding dengan jenama-jenama lain dalam industri pembuatan automotif. Selepas kereta \nProton Saga\n generasi pertama dilancarkan pada 1985, ia menjadi model ikonik syarikat automotif tempatan dan memikat hati jutaan pengguna di Malaysia. Walaupun sudah berdekad lamanya mewarnai industri automotif tempatan, model ini masih kekal menjadi salah satu model terbaik pengeluar kereta nasional ini.\n\n\nProton Saga merupakan model paling laris pilihan pengguna keluaran Proton.\n\n\nMenariknya, model Saga terkenal dengan julukan \u2018kereta kebal\u2019 disebabkan oleh reka bentuk modelnya yang berbentuk segi empat seakan-akan kereta kebal. Bukan itu sahaja, struktur model ini juga dikatakan lebih kukuh setanding dengan jenama-jenama lain!\n\n\nJenama Kereta Pilihan Keluarga No. 1 di Malaysia\n\n\nSetelah jenama Perodua diperkenalkan, kedudukan syarikat ini sebagai jenama automotif tempatan pilihan pengguna perlahan-lahan diambil alih oleh Perodua. Namun begitu, syarikat automotif tempatan ini kekal menjadi jenama pilihan kedua terlaris dan jenama kereta pilihan keluarga nombor satu di Malaysia. Malah, pengenalan kereta Proton Iriz pada tahun 2014 juga merupakan satu penanda aras terbaik Proton untuk memintas kedudukan \nPerodua\n \nsebagai jenama terbaik dan menjadi pesaing rapat bagi model paling laris Perodua, Myvi.\n\n\nProton Iriz kini dikatakan mampu mencabar populariti Perodua Myvi.\n\n\nDan sempena sambutan Hari Merdeka baru-baru ini, Proton telah menayangkan video eksklusif berdurasi \n40-saat\n yang memaparkan model-model terbaharu mereka seperti model X70 dan model X50 yang merupakan mini SUV yang paling dinantikan rakyat Malaysia untuk tahun ini. Jadi, bagaimana kedudukan Proton buat masa ini?\n\n\nPada bulan Julai baru-baru ini, Proton mencatatkan jualan sebanyak 13,216 unit! Ia bukan sahaja jualan tertinggi pada tahun 2020, malah merupakan jualan bulanan tertinggi sejak Jun 2012! Pencapaian ini merupakan sesuatu yang boleh dibanggakan dengan mengambil kira suasana ekonomi yang agak sukar buat masa ini.\n\n\nSaga, Model Paling Laris\n\n\nProton Saga merupakan model paling laris terjual iaitu sebanyak 5,421 unit, diikuti dengan X70 (3,087 unit). Manakala Persona dan \nExora\n masing-masing mencatatkan 3,043 unit dan 792 unit. Menurut CEO, Li Chunrong, Proton akan melipatgandakan usaha untuk memintas jenama Perodua dan menjadi jenama pilihan nombor satu di Malaysia.\n\n\n\n\n\u201cBagi kami, perkara pertama yang perlu dipertimbangkan adalah untuk berkembang di Malaysia terlebih dahulu. Cara kami untuk memacu perniagaan kami menjadi lebih stabil adalah sangat penting. Sangat mudah untuk membelanjakan wang, tetapi sangat sukar untuk menjana wang.\n\n\nKami ingin menjadi jenama No 1 di Malaysia terlebih dahulu, kemudian menerokai pasaran Asia. Tetapi kami tidak mahu berhenti setakat ini sahaja. Sekarang kami sudah berada di Brunei, bukan sekadar model biasa sahaja, tetapi juga X70\u201d. \u2013 Li Chunrong dalam temubual bersama \nThe Edge\n\n\n\n\nWalau bagaimanapun, persaingan yang sihat antara jenama-jenama besar seperti ini amatlah dialu-alukan kerana ia secara tidak langsung menguntungkan pembeli.

The reason for this is its representation of Malaysia as a symbol of achievement back in 1985, when it was first unveiled.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWith invitation extended to Mitsubishi Motors from then Prime Minister Tun Mahathir Mohamad, it only took a mere two years from the partnership discussions with Mitsubishi in 1981, before the final prototype vehicle was complete \u2013 based on a Mitsubishi Lancer Fiore.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo garner more hype and confidence on the new Proton Saga, weeks before the official launch, Proton set out on a \u2018Sagarama\u2019 nationwide drive that included a \u2018Sagathon Rally\u2019 in Sabah-Sarawak. The endurance run involved 12 Proton Sagas and 37 participants over a drive of 1,111 km on mountain roads to prove the durability of Malaysia\u2019s first national car. The cars proved well, with a completion of a 4,109 km drive in total without issues.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAn abbreviation for Safety, Achievement, Greatness and Ability, the Saga quickly became the talk of the town and it made car ownership for Malaysians more accessible. Those searching for a cheaper Japanese alternative under RM 20,000 became a realistic dream. Priced at RM 17,757 and RM 19,005 for the 1.3 and 1.5 variants respectively, the 1985 Saga eventually gained a second bodystyle \u2013 Saga Aeroback, two years later.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n\n\nFurther iterations of the Saga continued years on. The first generation received a second facelift in 1990 which updated the engine to a 12-valve Megavalve unit. The Saga Iswara came not too long after, had multiple editions and stayed for just over a decade before a significant refresh done in 2003 modernised the Saga hatchback.\n\n\n \n\n\nFor 22 years, the first-generation Saga was finally replaced with a second-generation car in 2008 that came with smoother lines and a 1.3-litre Campro engine with IAFM (Integrated Air Fuel Module) that improved torque at lower revs. Today the Saga at its third generation is still relevant and important in Proton\u2019s vehicle portfolio. For example, over 3,000 Saga\u2019s found a home this April, a number unseen since last year\u2019s tax-holiday period.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n\n\nFor those still sceptical of Proton\u2019s build quality today, the brand\u2019s current partner Geely has enhanced the vehicle production line by introducing the company\u2019s Global Customer Product Audit (GCPA) process.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWith the GCPA, Proton is able to identify and rectify any possible issues related to design, parts quality and manufacturing aspects related to a vehicle even before it reaches the showroom. With Geely also implementing GCPA as part of its manufacturing process, Proton has a target to aim for in its aim to improve the quality of its products.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat happens to the Saga from here? With the introduction of the facelift model just around the corner, the Saga is certainly in no risk of being replaced. With the launch of the X70 and updates to the Persona and Iriz, Proton is certain to keep it as a model continues to make Malaysians proud.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWant to know more about Proton\u2019s latest 2019 Iriz and Persona? \nClick here\n for the rundown!\n\n\nAlso \nclick here\n for the latest updated Exora!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car through Carsome and you could get up to 20% higher than average trade in price!\n\n", "Tags\nLifestyle", "Written by Carsome Editorial", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

The car was based on a Mitsubishi model, The Lancer Fiore, after the Japanese car manufacturer agreed to a joint venture with Hicom or also known as Heavy Industries Corp of Malaysia Bhd to produce Malaysia\u2019s first car. Before long, The Saga quickly maneuvered its way into the hearts of many and made itself Malaysia\u2019s favourite car.\n\n\nA game of Scrabble is all it Took\n\n\nFun fact, Proton Saga got its name from a contest conducted by PROTON called \u201cName the National Car Contest\u201d. From a plethora of entries, the name that created history was submitted by Staff Sergeant Ismail Jaafar from Penang who saw the name while playing a game of scrabble.\n\n\n\n\nSaga is also an abbreviation of the words \u2018safety\u2019, \u2018achievement\u2019, \u2018greatness\u2019 and \u2018ability\u2019 which is exactly what the car embodies. The name \u2018Saga\u2019 could also be easily pronounced by different languages and was without any negative connotation in both Bahasa Malaysia and English which is another plus point.\n\n\nCelebrating Proton Saga\u2019s 35\nth\n Anniversary\n\n\nThis year, this car celebrates its 35\nth\n anniversary since its first creation and to commemorate that, PROTON launched the Saga Anniversary Edition in a first ever virtual launch over social media (why social media? Because MCO happened) on the 9\nth\n of July 2020, marking the 4, 150, 035\nth\n Proton Saga to roll off the line. This anniversary edition is limited to 1,100 units only and is made exclusively in black with yellow highlights on both the exterior and interior of the car.\n\n\nimage source : Proton\n\n\nNot only that, as a thank you for supporting the series for the past 35 years, Proton also released the anniversary accessories edition with includes Front Skirting, Side Skirtings, Door Visors, Hood Insulators, Trunk Lid Cover and Boot Tray.\n\n\n35 years down the line, this car has literally gone through a heap load of changes to cater the varying demands of the people. But deep down in the core of its creation, Proton Saga\u2019s stays loyal to its concept which is to provide the most affordable car yet does not compromise on its ability and greatness. Now, lets drive down memory lane and see some of the other great Sagas\u2019 creation that were made along the line.\n\n\n\n\nProton Saga (1985 \u2013 1992)\n\n\n\n\nBased on the 1983 Mitsubishi Lancer Fiore, this car is powered by the 1.3L 4G13 Orion II engine and introduced a 1.5L 4G15 Orion II powered engine at RM 17, 575 and RM 19,000 respectively. Fun Fact \u2013 Tun Dr. Mahathir was the first one to buy the 1.5S Proton Saga as a gift for his wife Datin Seri Dr. Siti Hasmah.\n\n\n\n\nphoto source : Proton\n\n\n\n\nProton Saga Aeroback (1987 -1992)\n\n\n\n\nThe car gets a facelift and joins the hatchback family with the Proton Saga Aeroback which was introduced in 1987 offering mild mechanical and beauty upgrades.\n\n\n\n\nProton Saga Iswara (1992-2006)\n\n\n\n\nOn the 15\nth\n of August 1992, Proton Saga Iswara was launched and another fun fact \u2013 this car was named after the great Helen butterfly of Sarawak. The Saga Iswara got major alteration in both its exterior and interior. It was also equipped with the Orion 1.3L and 1.5L engines and was the preferred choices for Malaysia\u2019s taxis.\n\n\n\n\nProton Saga LMST (2003-2008)\n\n\n\n\nThe Proton Saga LMST went through 3 different upgrades. In 2003, this Saga had a major transformation in its interior and exterior modifications and improvements. It featured the 1.3L 4G13 Carburettor engine and was tuned to produce 83 bhp. In late 2006, this car had another exterior upgrade and was only available in two colours \u2013 black and orange. The last upgrade came in 2007 when PROTON launched the final facelift model of the first-generation Proton Saga, the Merdeka Anniversary Edition. It was sold at a fraction of price as a symbol of PROTON\u2019s gratitude to their customers.\n\n\n\n\n \nProton Generation 2 (Saga BLM) (2008 \u2013 2010)\n\n\n\n\nOut with the old, in with the new with the second-generation Saga or also known as Proton Saga BLM. It was first designed to be available with a 1.6L CamPro engine that produced 110 horsepower. The 1.3L CamPro variant was later introduced and these two were the first models to bear PROTON\u2019s new corporate logo.\n\n\n\n\nProton Saga FL (2010 \u2013 2011)\n\n\n\n\nProton Saga FL came with a mild facelift and the name \u2018FL\u201d stood for facelift. It received mostly exterior changes especially the rear bumper, grille, rims and head lamps. This car also featured the new Clarion audio system that came with USB and AUX ports.\n\n\n\n\nProton Saga FLX (2011-2016)\n\n\n\n\nAdding to the line, PROTON introduced the FLX, where the \u2018X\u2019 stands for extra. This Saga FLX is equipped with the updated CamPro IAFM+ engine, 2 airbags, anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD). Other upgrades included body-colored bodykit, bootlid spoiler and 14-inch six-spoke alloy wheels.\n\n\n\n\nThe Saga Third Generation (2016 to present)\n\n\n\n\nThe third generation Saga is the newer and cooler replacement to the second-generation Proton Saga. Its body is based on the FLX but the exterior and the interior has been totally re-vamped. This car is powered by the Iriz\u2019s 1.3L VVT engine and CVT combination which has further refined for improved fuel efficiency and smoother driving experience.\n\n\n\n\nProton Saga, a Proud Malaysian Product\n\n\nThis car has certainly come a long way since the introduction of the first Saga, thirty-five years ago. The amount of improvements, enhancements and refinements that have gone into the making of these Sagas have indeed worked out well, against both the test of time and technology as well as against their valuable competitors. Seeing the ever-increasing booking volume, this car proves that it had made a lasting impression in the hearts of many and will never see an end in its journey, at least not in the near future.

Should You Choose A Proton Saga Or Perodua Bezza?", "By\n \nAmarnath", "29/12/2022", "\n\n\n\n\n", "If you\u2019re in the market for a used entry-level \nsedan\n that still qualifies for a loan, our in-house clairvoyant predicts that your shortlist will likely comprise the \nProton Saga\n and \nPerodua Bezza\n.\n\n\nWhile foreshadowing the future can be tiring, it\u2019s easy work to see why this pair aren\u2019t just the top two choices but likely the only two as well. Priced around the \nRM30k mark\n and with plenty of practicality, that\u2019s plenty of bang for the buck.\n\n\nOn paper, it\u2019s easy to assume the duo would be going neck-to-neck, what with naturally-aspirated 1.3-liter engines and 4-speed automatics driving the front wheels together with relatively identical levels of equipment.\n\n\nHowever, they both appeal to very different demographics and further inspection reveals plenty of traits unique to either one. The reason behind this lies with \nProton\n and \nPerodua\n both adopting completely different preferences in the development of each model.\n\n\n\n\nProton Saga\n\n\nPros \u2013 Ride & handling, comfort.\n\n\nCons \u2013 Thirsty on fuel, not as spacious.\n\n\nA cursory browse on CARSOME reveals that the pricing of a 2016 \nSaga\n starts at the RM29,000 mark. In comparison, a Bezza of the same year starts at a staggering RM36,000. Of course, this covers the flagship variants or close to them. Based on this fact alone, the Saga goes one ahead by being the most affordable by a mile.\n\n\nAffordability alone weighs heavily in the decision to purchase a used entry-level sedan as in all honesty, a smaller budget is the primary reason people go for used. Considering that the Saga has depreciated the most between the two, it weighs favorably should you consider selling it down the road as you wouldn\u2019t lose as much.\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nCan Your Car Tires Expire?\n\n\nAdditionally, one factor that the Saga can\u2019t be disputed in is the ride and handling. Protons are famed for their impressive handling and the Saga hasn\u2019t been left out. For the money you fork out, the little sedan can really run rings around the Bezza.\n\n\nFurthermore, comfort also leans in favor of the Saga. While the cabin isn\u2019t as spacious as the Bezza, it is a much nicer ride on the road.\n\n\nOne cardinal aspect to keep in mind would be the transmission. If you\u2019re going for an automatic Saga and the budget allows, try to go for a 2019 unit that carries the much more refined Hyundai-sourced 4-speed torque converter slushbox,\n\n\nUnits prior to that came with the Punch CVT (continuously variable transmission) that was not as good and contributed to a higher fuel consumption figures.\n\n\nThis brings us to the Saga\u2019s downside. One aspect that it loses out on would be in terms of fuel consumption. Real-world figures place the Bezza ahead when it comes to sipping fuel.\n\n\nBezza owners reported an average fuel consumption of around 6.7 L/100 km while Saga owners returned an average fuel consumption closer to the 7.3 L/100 km mark.\n\n\nRead More: \nBattle of the People\u2019s Cars: Best B-Segment Cars in Malaysia\n\n\nPerodua Bezza\n\n\nPros \u2013 Better creature comforts, fuel efficient.\n\n\nCons \u2013 Jarring ride, fixed steering column.\n\n\nPerodua and fuel efficiency are pretty much synonymous. They know how to develop an engine that sips fuel. The sophisticated dual VVT-i engine in the \nBezza\n leaves the ancient Campro VVT mill in the Saga in its fumes.\n\n\nCoupled with features such as Eco Idle (auto start/stop) and a curb weight very much on the lighter side, it\u2019s little surprise the Bezza is king at the petrol pumps.\n\n\n\n\nIn the cabin, the Bezza is a much more well-equipped machine. You\u2019ll find keyless entry and push-start that might seem menial on paper but can make the ownership experience much more pleasant. Lest we forget, cabin room in the Bezza is available in abundance and that stretches into the boot space as well with 508-liter on offer against the Saga\u2019s 420-liter capacity.\n\n\nHowever, no car is perfect and the Bezza loses out on the road to the Saga\u2019s stellar ride and handling. Many have pointed out the Bezza\u2019s crashy ride, especially those that have taken a ride in one courtesy of ride-sharing apps.\n\n\nLastly, the Bezza\u2019s architecture comes from the Axia and this means it loses out on an adjustable steering column, which the Axia isn\u2019t equipped with as well.\n\n\nConclusion\n\n\nAs you can see, there\u2019s a distinct difference in the type of buyers for each model. Those with a family will likely need something more spacious and easier on the wallet to run, indicating the \nBezza\n.\n\n\nHowever, someone that needs a first car and wants something a little fun to drive without much need for extreme practicality will favor the \nSaga\n.\n\n\nWeigh up the pros and cons before deciding but keep in mind the Saga of an equivalent year will always be priced lower than the Bezza and if budget is the primary deciding factor, there\u2019s your answer.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a quality pre-owned car, check out \nCARSOME\n today.

The refreshed brand comes with the ambition to move towards a global and modern automotive company.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe tiger emblem found on Proton cars will be updated to a more stylised representation in silver to represent Malaysia\u2019s pride. The new logo omits the shield seen in the previous and features the tiger\u2019s head, symbolising Proton moving forward like an arrow-head.

This is seen currently in its X70, Persona and Iriz which include the innovative \u201cHi Proton\u201d voice controls.

To achieve this, the brand says that it is adopting a global view to succeed as a modern automotive manufacturer that is in-step with global development trends.

Jenama Proton kini bukan lagi jenama tempatan yang boleh diperlekehkan dan dipandang rendah. Proton kini bukan sahaja mendapat tempat dalam kalangan rakyat Malaysia, malah jenama nasional ini mula mengorak langkah di pasaran luar negara seperti di Brunei dan beberapa negara lain. Model-model popular Proton seperti \nSaga\n, Wira, \nPersona\n, \nIriz\n merupakan antara model Proton yang mencatatkan nilai jualan yang tinggi di Malaysia.\n\n\nKredit: \npaultan.org\n\n\nModel-model kereta \nProton\n generasi terkini seperti\n Proton X70\n dan\n Proton X50\n \nsemestinya membuka lembaran dan sejarah baharu dalam arena automotif negara. Proton kini menampilkan barisan produk baharu yang berkualiti dan berteknologi tinggi yang setanding dengan jenama automotif antarabangsa yang lain. Meskipun kebanyakan pengguna hari ini beralih kepada model Proton keluaran terbaharu, model-model lama seperti Wira masih lagi mendapat tempat terutamanya dalam kalangan generasi muda.\n\n\nProton Wira Sedan, Aeroback: Kerjasama Proton-Mitsubishi\n\n\nProton Wira merupakan kereta yang dihasilkan oleh pengeluar kereta tempatan, Proton antara tahun 1993 hingga 2009. Ia merupakan model salun 4 pintu (\nfour-door saloon\n) dan model \nhatchback\n lima pintu yang dibina berasaskan platform Mitsubishi Lancer.\n\n\nProton Wira Sedan, Proton Wira Aeroback\n\n\nProton Wira Sedan merupakan model kereta Proton yang kedua selepas Proton Saga. Model kereta ini cukup sinonim terutamanya dalam kalangan penggemar pengubah suai kereta. Ia mula dilancarkan pada 21 Mei 1993 dan merupakan versi yang lebih besar berbanding model pertama Saga dan Saga Iswara. Wira merupakan model kereta sedan empat pintu yang dibina berasaskan model generasi keempat Mitsubishi Lancer 1991/Colt.\n\n\nModel yang memiliki casis yang sama seperti Mitsubishi Evo I hingga III merupakan hasil kerjasama antara Proton-Mitsubishi 1996-1998. Hasil kerjasama ini juga membuktikan ketahanan dan kejayaan model ini sehinggakan masih banyak model kenderaan ini digunakan di jalan raya pada hari ini. Model ini juga turut dieksport ke UK dengan pelbagai nama antaranya Proton 400 Series, Proton Persona dan Proton Natura.\n\n\nVarian \nhatchback\n lima pintu, Proton Wira Aeroback pula dilancarkan pada tahun 1995 sebelum ditukarkan menjadi Proton Gen 2 pada tahun 2004. Varian Proton Wira sedan pula ditukarkan kepada Proton Persona pada tahun 2007. Proton Wira dikeluarkan dalam 5 kapasiti enjin iaitu 1300 liter, 1500 liter, 1600 liter, 1800 liter dan 2000 liter (diesel) dan kekal menjadi satu-satunya model Proton yang tersedia dalam enjin diesel.\n\n\nSelain itu, Proton Wira juga merupakan kereta Proton yang pertama dihasilkan dalam konfigurasi pemanduan sebelah kanan (RHD) dan pemanduan sebelah kiri (LHD).\n\n\nProton Hentikan Pengeluaran Alat Ganti Wira\n\n\nRamai yang beranggapan bahawa model ini kini lebih sesuai dijadikan tukun atau besi buruk disebabkan oleh rangka model ini yang kini berusia. Malah, keputusan Proton untuk menghentikan pengeluaran alat ganti untuk model ini sedikit sebanyak menggusarkan pemilik model kereta ini. Menurut pengeluar alat ganti Proton OEM, pihaknya beranggapan bahawa pengeluaran alat ganti bagi model lama seperti Wira dilihat sudah tidak lagi berbaloi. Tambah pihaknya lagi, Proton buat masa ini hanya ingin memfokuskan penghasilan alat ganti untuk model keluaran Proton yang baharu sahaja.\n\n\nKredit: \npaultan.org\n\n\nNamun begitu, ia tidak menjadi masalah buat pengguna atau pemilik model ini. Banyak alat ganti yang dijual di pasaran untuk model kenderaan lain boleh digunakan pada model ini. Malah, kehadiran pelbagai enjin potong dari Jepun juga secara tidak langsung memberi pilihan dan alternatif lain kepada pemiliknya. Ia sekali gus menjawab persoalan mengapa model ini masih lagi popular di Malaysia meskipun Proton sudah menghentikan penjualan alat gantinya.\n\n\nUntuk rekod, model ini merupakan antara model kereta paling laris yang pernah dihasilkan oleh Proton. Sebanyak 952,215 model Wira terjual sepanjang 16 tahun pengeluarannya dari tahun 1993 hingga 2009. Bagi pemilik jentera ini, rupa kosmetik model ini memainkan peranan sebagai \u2018penambah rasa\u2019 untuk tampil lebih garang dan \nsporty\n. Model ini juga terkenal dengan julukan \u2018Evo Jadian\u2019 kerana kebanyakan pemiliknya cenderung untuk mengubah suai model ini kepada rupa \nJapan Domestic Market\n (JDM).\n\n\nIni kerana, kos mengubah suai model ini kepada model Evo lebih murah berbanding memiliki jentera asli Evo yang semestinya menelan belanja yang lebih mahal. Pemilik hanya perlu memotong sedikit panel bahagian belakang model Wira ini sebelum mengimpalnya semula dengan rupa asli Evo I-III.\n\n\nKredit: \npaultan.org\n\n\nProton Wira Terpakai atau \nSecond Hand\n\n\nBerdasarkan tinjauan, \nProton Wira terpakai\n \n tahun 2002 dijual di platform jual beli kereta terpakai dalam talian pada harga di bawah RM6000. Ia secara tidak langsung menjadikan model kereta ini antara model kereta sedan terpakai yang berbaloi untuk dimiliki dan mampu milik. Untuk anda yang berkeluarga kecil, model ini sudah memadai untuk dimiliki berbanding model-model sedan terpakai yang lain. Malah, harga yang ditawarkan untuk model\n Proton Wira terpakai\n \njauh lebih murah berbanding model sedan lain.\n\n\nSelain itu, Wira juga menawarkan ruang dalaman dan but belakang yang lebih selesa dan luas. Ruang yang luas ini boleh memuatkan bagasi dan barangan keperluan lain yang semestinya ideal untuk perjalanan jauh. Namun apa yang pasti, model ini membuktikan keunggulannya dalam kelas dan kelompoknya yang tersendiri. Keupayaannya untuk bertahan setelah hampir 30 tahun di dalam industri merupakan suatu kejayaan dan pencapaian yang boleh dibanggakan oleh Proton.\n\n\nKredit: \npaultan.org\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda sedang mempertimbangkan untuk \nmenjual kereta Wira lama\n \ndan berminat untuk mendapatkan \nkereta terpakai baharu\n, layari laman web CARSOME untuk info lanjut.

While we don\u2019t have talking robot cars just yet, autonomous vehicles are actually very much a part of our daily lives.\n\n\nWhether you realize it or not, more cars are being built with some level of autonomous driving ability. And while they can\u2019t shuttle us where we need to be and park themselves, cars are getting better at staying within the lanes, self-driving in stop-and-go traffic, and even preventing collisions.\n\n\n\n\nWhat is Autonomous Driving?\n\n\nVehicle automation doesn\u2019t just mean that a car can drive itself from point A to point B, but rather, is a suite of technologies that give a car varying levels of self-driving capability. There are six levels of autonomous driving which range from a car with no automated driving features to one that can drive itself without human intervention.\n\n\nCars with autonomous driving technology use sensors and cameras to detect the road and objects around them, and then take preprogrammed actions based on what is detected.\u00a0\n\n\nThese sensors, such as stereo cameras, radar, and ultrasonic sensors send information to the onboard camera to allow the car to \u201csee\u201d its surroundings. It can then use the information to perform actions like staying in the lane while cruising on the highway, parallel parking, and more.\n\n\nThe levels of driving automation on a vehicle are defined by the \nSociety of Automotive Engineers (SAE)\n and they are categorized based on how many dynamic driving tasks (DDT)\u00a0 are handled by the car\u2019s onboard artificial intelligence (AI). The more self-driving an autonomous vehicle can handle without human intervention, the higher its autonomous driving level.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAutonomous Driving Level\n\n\nMonitoring\n\n\nSystem Driving Ability\n\n\nExample of Features\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLevel 0 (No Automation)\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe human driver must supervise the system and monitor the surrounding environment.\n\n\nThe human manually controls all driving tasks.\n\n\n\u2013 Automatic emergency braking\u00a0\n\n\n\u2013 Blind spot warning\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeve 1 (Driver Assitance)\n\n\nThe system provides steering \nOR\n brake/acceleration support.\n\n\n\u2013 Adaptive cruise control\n\n\nOR\n\n\n\u2013 Lane centering\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLevel 2 (Partial Automation)\n\n\nThe system provides steering \nAND\n brake/acceleration support.\n\n\n\u2013 Adaptive cruise control\n\n\nAND\n\n\n\u2013 Lane centering\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLevel 3 (Conditional Automation)\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe autonomous driving system monitors the surrounding environment for you.\n\n\nThe system can drive the vehicle under limited conditions but you MUST take over if it can\u2019t.\n\n\n\u2013 Traffic jam assist\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLevel 4 (High Automation)\n\n\nThe system can drive the vehicle under limited conditions and can safely park the vehicle if the conditions are not met.\n\n\n\u2013 Geofenced robotaxis (only works in a certain locality)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLevel 5 (Full Automation)\n\n\nThe system can drive the vehicle under all conditions.\n\n\n\u2013 Fully self-driving car\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLevel 0: No Automation\n\n\nVehicles in this level have no autonomous driving capabilities and are fully controlled by a human driver. Cars in this category typically have no driver assistance features so when a driver loses control of the car, they are responsible for regaining control of it. Most cars on the road are still at Level 0, though more manufacturers are equipping even their budget cars with driver assistance features like the advanced safety assist (A.S.A) seen on \nPerodua\n cars.\n\n\nRead More: \nEverything You Need to Know About Hybrid Cars\n\n\nLevel 1: Driver Assistance\n\n\nAt autonomous driving Level 1, the vehicle is equipped with basic driver assistance that controls either the throttle or lane steering but not both at once. One feature at this level is adaptive cruise control (ACC) where the car can control the speed of the car while keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front.\u00a0\n\n\nSince the driver still has to monitor other aspects of driving and control the steering, Level 1 is also called a \u201chands on\u201d autonomous system. Other features you can expect on a Level 1 car include automatic emergency braking (AEB) and lane departure warning. Some cars may also have basic parking assistance at this stage.\n\n\nLevel 2: Partial Automation\n\n\nIn Level 2 automation, also called \u201chands off\u201d, the system is able to fully control the vehicle\u2019s acceleration, braking, and steering. However, the driver still needs to monitor the driving and be prepared to take control at any time should the system fail to handle the situation. In fact, some cars may have cameras in the cabin that monitor the driver\u2019s eyes to make sure they are paying attention to the road.\n\n\nADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) incorporate Level 2 capabilities to improve the \nsafety of a car\n. Features available at this stage include a more capable ACC combined with lane keep assist that can operate at higher speeds and a more advanced self-parking feature.\u00a0\n\n\nThe most advanced self-driving system currently on the market is Level 2, which includes Tesla\u2019s Autopilot. That said, other manufacturers also implement Level 2 automation which you can find on cars like the Perodua Ativa and \nHonda Civic\n.\n\n\nLevel 3: Conditional Automation\n\n\nLevel 3 autonomous driving is called an \u201ceyes off\u201d system as it allows the driver to have their attention on something other than the road. This system is designed to mostly operate on clearly defined roads that require minimal complex maneuvering, like on highways.\u00a0\n\n\nHowever, the driver should be prepared to take control of the vehicle in an emergency. The system can also notify the driver to take control in tricky situations such as when there are roadworks, failing which, the car will slow down and stop at the roadside to reduce the risk of an accident.\n\n\n\n\nSensors in level 3 autonomous Audi A8\n\n\nAutonomous vehicles at this stage have more advanced sensors to detect changes in the surroundings and are more capable of maneuvering in traffic and merging lanes. Audi planned to release the world\u2019s first Level 3 autonomous vehicle in 2019 in the \nAudi\n A8, but a lack of approval from global regulators prevented Audi from implementing the system.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nMalfunctions in Car Safety Features and How to Check Them Before It\u2019s Too Late!\n\n\nLevel 4: High Automation\n\n\nLevel 4 autonomous driving, or \u201cmind off\u201d is practically full automation and doesn\u2019t require the driver to pay attention, meaning you could safely sleep in a Level 4 car. However, self-driving is mostly only supported in geofenced areas (usually in the city) or under special circumstances such as on an open highway drive.\n\n\nA Level 4 vehicle can stop itself without relying on a human driver. Therefore, if the vehicle detects anomalies on the road that it\u2019s not designed to handle or if it exits the area it\u2019s programmed to operate in, it will prompt the driver to take control or, if ignored, will safely park itself.\u00a0\n\n\nThis level of automation is mostly used in public transport services like self-driving robotaxis from companies like Cruise and Waymo. In fact, Waymo even offers its \nrobotaxi service for airport trips in Phoenix\n, Arizona. Sadly, Level 4 robotaxis are still unavailable in Malaysia.\n\n\n\n\nLevel 5: Full Driving Automation\n\n\nThe final stage of autonomous driving is Level 5, or full driving automation. Level 5 cars can drive anywhere under any condition, safely. They don\u2019t require human intervention and may not even have a steering wheel or pedals. These cars will be controlled by advanced computers and AI, and possibly be connected to various online traffic systems to ensure they are as safe as possible on the road.\n\n\nTesting on fully self-driving cars is continuously being carried out by companies like Tesla and Waymo but we are still at least several years away from having them on our roads. That said, autonomous driving features are improving every year and are finding their way into more cars giving us better, safer cars.\n\n\nWhile fully autonomous vehicles are not available on the market yet, you can find plenty of quality cars with level 2 ADAS on CARSOME.\u00a0\n\n\nSo what are you waiting for?

Sistem penyaman udara yang baik yang dapat menyejukkan ruang kabin kereta amatlah penting terutama sekali apabila berhadapan dengan \ncuaca panas\n di Malaysia. Bayangkan jika anda ingin keluar membeli barangan dapur pada waktu tengah hari ditambah pula dengan prestasi \naircond\n kereta anda yang tidak lagi sejuk seperti biasa semestinya boleh merosakkan mood dan menyebabkan ketidakselesaan.\n\n\nDi bandar-bandar besar misalnya, membuka tingkap semasa memandu bukanlah satu pilihan yang bijak lebih-lebih lagi pada waktu puncak kerana anda terdedah kepada risiko jenayah dan pencemaran. CARSOME menyenaraikan 3 punca utama \naircond\n kereta anda tidak mengeluarkan angin sejuk sebagai panduan anda.\n\n\n\n\nPunca \nAircond\n Kereta Tak Sejuk\n\n\n#1 Kekurangan Bahan Penyejuk\n\n\nJika \naircond\n kereta anda tidak lagi mengeluarkan angin sejuk, ini menandakan sistem \naircond\n kereta anda perlu dicaj semula. Ini bermaksud, anda perlu menambah bahan penyejuk atau \nrefrigerant\n tambahan ke dalam sistem \naircond\n kereta anda untuk membolehkannya mengeluarkan angin sejuk seperti biasa. Anda juga boleh mendapatkan bantuan pihak profesional untuk menjimatkan masa sekali gus dapat memastikan proses penyelenggaraan yang dilakukan mengikut spesifikasi yang betul.\n\n\n#2 Kebocoran Bahan Penyejuk\n\n\nKebiasaannya, kebocoran bendalir bahan penyejuk sukar untuk dikesan disebabkan oleh bendalir bahan penyejuk akan tersejat ke udara dengan cepat. Mekanik profesional biasanya menggunakan alatan khusus untuk mengesan tanda-tanda tekanan bahan penyejuk yang rendah dalam sistem. Namun begitu, terdapat tanda-tanda berlaku kebocoran bendalir bahan penyejuk dalam penyaman udara kereta anda:\n\n\n\n\nTerdapat bunyi semasa penyaman udara kereta dihidupkan;\n\n\nKitaran penyaman udara \non \natau \noff\n\u00a0dengan kerap;\n\n\nTerdapat bunyi daripada sistem penyaman udara (semasa enjin dimatikan);\n\n\nTerdapat sisa-sisa minyak di sekitar hos dan aksesori paip penyaman udara.\n\n\n\n\n#3 Kegagalan Motor Kipas\n\n\nSelain itu, antara punca yang menyebabkan \naircond\n kereta tak sejuk adalah disebabkan oleh kegagalan motor kipas yang terletak di bahagian depan motor kenderaan. Penting untuk anda sentiasa memastikan motor kipas anda sentiasa berfungsi dan berada dalam keadaan baik. Motor kipas yang berfungsi bukan sahaja dapat memberikan keselesaan kepada anda malah mengoptimumkan penyejukan terutamanya di bahagian enjin kereta anda.\n\n\nAnda juga boleh melakukan \nvisual checking \ndengan cara membuka bonet depan semasa enjin dihidupkan untuk memastikan sama ada kipas ini berfungsi atau tidak. Jika kipas tidak berfungsi, kemungkinan besar berlaku kerosakan pada fius, geganti (\nrelay\n) atau motor kipas.\n\n\n\n\nTips Penjagaan \nAircond\n Kereta\n\n\nPenjagaan penyaman udara atau\n aircond\n kereta merupakan salah satu perkara yang perlu dititikberatkan selain daripada penjagaan enjin kereta. Penyelenggaraan sistem penyaman udara penting untuk memastikan ia sentiasa berada dalam keadaan baik dan memuaskan. CARSOME kongsikan 4 tip penjagaan\n aircond\n kereta yang boleh anda praktikkan dalam kehidupan seharian anda.\n\n\n#1 Jadualkan Pemeriksaan Profesional Secara Berkala\n\n\nUntuk memastikan sistem \naircond\n kereta anda sentiasa berada dalam keadaan baik, anda disarankan untuk menyelenggara sekurang-kurangnya setahun sekali. Ia penting supaya anda dapat mengenal pasti sebarang masalah yang dihadapi oleh sistem \naircond\n kereta anda. Komponen-komponen penting penyaman udara seperti \ncooling coil \ndan pemampat (\ncompressor\n) juga perlu melalui proses pembersihan dan pemeriksaan setiap tahun supaya dapat mengekalkan prestasi dan memanjangkan jangka hayatnya.\n\n\n#2 Bersihkan Penapis Udara\n\n\nBagi kebanyakan kereta moden hari ini, penapis udara biasanya terletak di ruang kompartmen pada papan pemuka di bahagian tempat duduk penumpang hadapan. Ruang kompartmen ini mudah untuk ditanggalkan sekali gus memudahkan anda untuk mengeluarkan dan membersihkan segala kotoran yang terlekat padanya. Penapis udara mungkin perlu dibersihkan menggunakan air atau digantikan bergantung pada keadaan penapis udara anda. Anda juga perlu pastikan penapis yang dibersihkan benar-benar kering sebelum memasukkannya semula ke dalam ruang kompartmen.\n\n\n\n\n#3 Buang Daun Kering atau Objek Asing\n\n\nPeriksa bahagian gril luar kereta terutamanya di bahagian cermin hadapan. Buang daun kering atau serpihan-serpihan objek lain yang terdapat padanya. Dengan cara ini, anda bukan sahaja membersihkan bahagian luaran kereta anda malah turut dapat mengelakkan daun-daun kering atau objek-objek asing ini daripada disedut masuk ke dalam sistem \naircond\n kereta anda dan menyebabkannya tersumbat. Selain itu, buka hud kereta anda dan periksa \ncondenser\n. Buang serpihan atau objek asing yang terdapat padanya yang boleh menjejaskan prestasinya.\n\n\n#4 Hidupkan Aircond Kereta Anda Secara Berkala\n\n\nBuat masa ini, ramai dalam kalangan kita yang bekerja dari rumah ekoran Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan Bersyarat (PKPB) di semua kawasan di Semenanjung Malaysia kecuali Pahang, Kelantan dan Perlis. Selain menghidupkan enjin kereta, anda juga disarankan untuk menghidupkan penyaman udara kereta anda sekurang-kurangnya seminggu sekali selama 10 minit. Putarkannya ke kelajuan kipas tertinggi dengan tetapan paling sejuk. Dengan cara ini, anda dapat membantu mengekalkan tekanan gas dan memastikan pemampat (\ncompressor\n) berfungsi dan berada dalam keadaan baik.\n\n\n\n\nLangkah-langkah ini diharap dapat membantu anda mengekalkan prestasi sistem \naircond\n kereta anda. Pastikan langkah-langkah ini dipatuhi supaya dapat mengelakkan anda daripada mengeluarkan belanja yang besar untuk menggantikannya jika berlaku kerosakan yang lebih serius.\u00a0Selain itu, jika anda sedang mencari \nkereta terpakai dengan harga yang berbaloi dan mampu milik\n, layari laman web \nCARSOME \nuntuk info lanjut.

Jadi, apa sebenarnya punca kereta tersengguk-sengguk ini?\u00a0\n\n\nPunca kereta tersengguk-sengguk ini ada beberapa sebab sama ada penapis udara yang kotor ataupun pengubah bermangkin tersumbat. Jika dibiarkan lama-lama, pelbagai masalah lain boleh timbul di kemudian hari.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJadual Kandungan\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMacam Mana Rasanya Kereta Tersengguk-Sengguk Ini?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKereta Tersengguk Ketika Dipandu\n\n\nKereta Tersengguk Ketika Memecut\n\n\nKereta Tersengguk Ketika Kereta Tak Bergerak (Idle)\u00a0\n\n\nKereta Tersengguk Ketika Membrek\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApa Punca Kereta Tersengguk-Sengguk?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPalam Pencucuh Yang Rosak atau Haus\n\n\nPenapis Udara Kotor\n\n\nPenapis Minyak Kotor\u00a0\n\n\nPemancit Minyak (Fuel Injector) Tersumbat\u00a0\n\n\nSensor Aliran Udara Tak Berfungsi\u00a0\n\n\nSaluran Petrol Tersumbat\u00a0\n\n\nMasalah Transmisi\u00a0\n\n\nPengubah Bermangkin (Catalytic Converter) Tersumbat\n\n\nBrek Bermasalah\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVisit a CARSOME Service Center to Fix Your Jerking Car\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMacam Mana Rasanya Kereta Tersengguk-Sengguk Ini?\u00a0\n\n\nKereta anda boleh tersengguk sama ada ketika kereta sedang bergerak ataupun kereta sedang berhenti. Apabila ia tersengguk, kereta akan jadi susah untuk bergerak ke depan walaupun pedal minyak dah ditekan. Ini mungkin punca mengapa kereta anda boleh tersengguk-sengguk:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKereta Tersengguk Ketika Dipandu\n\n\nBayangkan anda sedang memandu pada kelajuan yang tetap di atas jalan raya dan tiba-tiba kereta anda tersengguk. Apa yang berlaku adalah kereta anda akan bergegar dengan kuat sebelum kembali normal atau dalam kes lain, terhenti seketika sebelum tiba-tiba kereta anda meluru ke depan apabila anda menekan pedal minyak.\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIni boleh jadi menakutkan lagi-lagi jika ada kereta lain berhampiran anda yang sedang memecut laju. Penyebab masalah ini termasuklah pemancit minyak (\nfuel injector\n) yang rosak atau sensor aliran udara yang bermasalah ataupun penapis udara yang kotor.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKereta Tersengguk Ketika Memecut\n\n\nIni yang banyak terjadi iaitu kereta tersengguk ketika mula bergerak setelah berhenti. Apabila ini terjadi, kereta jadi susah untuk bergerak walaupun anda dah pijak pedal minyak dan kemudian tiba-tiba kereta meluru ataupun \nkereta jadi bergegar\n walaupun tadi kereta susah nak bergerak. Punca bagi masalah ini adalah disebabkan \nkabel pendikit (throttle cable)\n rosak, palam pencucuh dah haus ataupun pemancit minyak rosak.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKereta Tersengguk Ketika Kereta Tak Bergerak(\nIdle\n)\u00a0\n\n\nKadang-kadang, kereta anda boleh tersengguk, bergegar, berdetar walaupun tidak bergerak. Kalau bergegar sedikit itu mungkin biasa terutama bagi kereta lama tapi jika kereta bergegar teruk, ia mungkin berpunca daripada masalah struktur seperti sesendal yang dah haus atau pendakap enjin yang dah rosak.\u00a0\n\n\nWalaupun jarang berlaku, selain daripada bergegar dan tersengguk, enjin kereta anda juga boleh semput. Jika kereta anda dalam keadaan begini pada RPM yang rendah, mungkin ia disebabkan palam pencucuh atau sensor pendikit yang rosak.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKereta Tersengguk Ketika Membrek\u00a0\n\n\nMasalah ini jarang berlaku tetapi ia tetap berbahaya. Kereta yang tersengguk ketika membrek boleh bergegar dengan teruk semasa berhenti. Kereta anda mungkin sudah kekurangan daya untuk berhenti yang boleh menyebabkan kemalangan lagi-lagi jika anda tak boleh berhentikan kereta anda apabila diperlukan. Jika kereta anda tersengguk ketika membrek, cakera/rotor brek kereta anda mungkin dah meleding atau ada serpihan pada brek kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nApa Punca Kereta Tersengguk-Sengguk?\u00a0\n\n\nKereta tersengguk boleh disebabkan oleh pelbagai punca. Walaupun ada yang boleh dibaiki seperti menukar penapis udara, ada punca yang perlu diberikan lebih perhatian. Banyak punca yang menyebabkan kereta anda tersengguk boleh mencetuskan lampu amaran enjin, jadi ini merupakan antara tanda yang boleh anda kesan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPalam Pencucuh Yang Rosak atau Haus\n\n\nPalam pencucuh berfungsi mencetuskan arus elektrik daripada sistem pencucuhan ke kebuk pembakaran. \u2018Cucuhan\u2019 ini yang mencetuskan pembakaran campuran udara termampat dan bahan api yang kemudiannya menggerakkan omboh dalam silinder enjin. Jika palam pencucuh rosak, bahan api tidak boleh dicucuh dengan betul dan silinder tidak akan bergerak.\u00a0\n\n\nAn auto mechanic holds an old, dirty sparkplug over a car engine he is tuning up.\n\n\nSilinder yang tidak bergerak inilah yang menyebabkan kereta anda tersengguk apabila kereta mula bergerak sambil mengekalkan kelajuan kereta dan juga gegaran ketika kereta tidak bergerak. Mujur masalah ini boleh diatasi dengan menukar palam pencucuh yang tidak mahal dan sepatutnya ditukar ketika servis kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPenapis Udara Kotor\n\n\nPenapis udara berfungsi mengelakkan kotoran dan serpihan dalam udara daripada memasuki enjin. Jika ia kotor, aliran udara jadi tersekat lalu mengurangkan jumlah oksigen yang masuk ke dalam enjin. Ini menyebabkan nisbah oksigen-kepada-petrol di dalam enjin jadi tak seimbang yang menyebabkan enjin tak hidup. Hasilnya, kereta anda akan tersengguk dan tersentak terutamanya ketika kereta bergerak.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKebanyakan masanya, enjin boleh mengatasi masalah ini dengan membakar lebih petrol untuk menghasilkan jumlah tenaga yang sama tetapi ini akan menjejaskan kecekapan petrol. Untuk mengelakkan ini terjadi, penting untuk menukar penapis udara setiap kali kereta diservis.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPenapis Minyak Kotor\u00a0\n\n\nSama seperti penapis udara, penapis minyak menyaring sebarang kotoran dan serpihan dalam petrol. Jika ia kotor, ia boleh menyekat minyak untuk masuk ke dalam enjin menyebabkan kereta anda tersengguk. Walau bagaimanapun, penapis minyak yang kotor juga boleh mencetuskan masalah lain seperti mengurangkan prestasi enjin ketika kereta dipecut, enjin mati ketika memandu, dan kereta susah nak dihidupkan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJika tidak diperiksa, penapis minyak yang kotor boleh menyebabkan komponen lain dalam sistem bahan api gagal berfungsi. Contohnya, pam minyak terpaksa bekerja lebih keras untuk menyalurkan lebih banyak minyak kepada enjin yang boleh menyebabkan ia menjadi panas dan rosak.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPemancit Minyak (\nFuel Injector\n) Tersumbat\u00a0\n\n\nPemancit minyak berfungsi mengalirkan minyak pada kadar yang sama ke dalam silinder enjin kereta. Apabila pemancit minyak tersumbat, ia tidak dapat menyalurkan petrol pada jumlah yang betul dan tepat. Hasilnya, petrol tak dapat dibakar dengan betul dan menyebabkan enjin tak hidup. Kereta tersengguk disebabkan pemancit minyak tersumbat jarang-jarang berlaku tetapi masalah pemancit minyak ini boleh menyebabkan masalah kegagalan enjin jadi, jangan abaikannya.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nUntuk mengelakkan pemancit minyak tersumbat, ia boleh dicuci dengan pencuci pemancit petrol \u2013 cuma perlu tuangkan pencuci tersebut ke dalam tangki minyak mengikut arahan pada pembungkusan dan dah siap. Anda juga boleh merujuk kepada mekanik terdekat untuk tahu lebih lanjut mengenai pencuci pemancit petrol yang disarankan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSensor Aliran Udara Tak Berfungsi\u00a0\n\n\nSensor aliran udara mengukur jumlah udara yang masuk ke dalam enjin kereta anda. Data ini kemudiannya digunakan untuk mengawal aliran minyak yang dialirkan oleh pemancit petrol supaya nisbah oksigen-petrol yang betul dikekalkan. Jika sensor aliran udara rosak, pemancit minyak akan mengalirkan jumlah minyak yang kurang tepat ke dalam enjin yang boleh\u00a0 menyebabkan pelbagai masalah.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKereta anda mungkin akan tersengguk ketika bergerak atau ketika memecut. Kereta anda pun mungkin akan jadi susah untuk dihidupkan serta boleh bergegar dan mati ketika tak bergerak. Jika dibiarkan, sensor aliran udara yang rosak boleh menyebabkan kereta menggunakan minyak yang banyak dan tak cekap minyak.\u00a0\n\n\nDalam kes yang lebih ekstrim, ia boleh menyebabkan enjin mati \u2013 ia jadi tersangkut dan tak dapat dihidupkan. Bergantung kepada tahap kerosakan, membaiki enjin yang tak boleh dihidupkan adalah sangat sukar dan mahal, jadi terus bawa kereta anda untuk diperiksa jika masalah ini berlaku!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSaluran Petrol Tersumbat\u00a0\n\n\nSaluran petrol yang tersumbat atau rosak boleh menjadi punca kereta anda tersengguk. Saluran petrol\u00a0 mengalirkan petrol ke keseluruhan enjin dan kalau ada kebocoran atau saluran ini tersumbat, ia akan menyebabkan tekanan petrol tak sekata dalam enjin. Tekanan petrol yang rendah boleh menyebabkan enjin anda susah untuk dihidupkan yang menjadi punca kereta anda tersengguk. Jika tidak diperiksa, kebocoran daripada saluran petrol yang rosak boleh menyebabkan enjin anda terbakar!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMasalah Transmisi\u00a0\n\n\nAda beberapa isu dengan transmisi yang boleh menyebabkan kereta anda tersengguk. Jika cecair transmisi rendah, kereta anda boleh bergegar dan bergetar semasa tidak bergerak. Ia juga boleh menyebabkan kereta anda tersengguk dan tersentak dengan kuat semasa bergerak daripada berhenti, terutamanya sejurus anda menghidupkan kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIsu lain yang boleh menyebabkan kereta anda tersengguk seperti kerosakan unit kawalan transmisi (TCU). TCU mengawal perubahan yang terjadi dalam kereta anda semasa ia bergerak jadi kerosakan pada TCU boleh menyebabkan ada kesukaran untuk menukar gear yang menyebabkan kereta anda tersengguk.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPengubah Bermangkin (\nCatalytic Converter\n) Tersumbat\n\n\nPengubah bermangki berfungsi mengurangkan partikel dalam asap ekzos kereta anda. Namun, jika ia tersumbat, ia boleh menyebabkan ada mendapan ekzos yang mengurangkan aliran udara ke dalam sistem ekzos. Aliran udara yang terganggu ini boleh menyebabkan kereta tersengguk dan juga masalah-masalah lain.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSelain daripada menyebabkan kereta anda tersengguk semasa sedang bergerak, memecut, dan juga ketika tidak bergerak, pengubah bermangkin yang tersumbat boleh mengurangkan kecekapan minyak dan juga meningkatkan asap ekzos yang dikeluarkan. Jika anda perasan kereta tersengguk, \u2018makan\u2019 banyak minyak, keluarkan asap luar biasa banyak, atau ada bau asap ekzos yang busuk, itu mungkin tanda pengubah bermangkin kereta anda dah tersumbat.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBrek Bermasalah\u00a0\n\n\nJika kereta anda tersengguk atau bergegar dengan teruk ketika membrek kereta, semestinya puncanya datang daripada brek. Jika pad brek kereta anda dah haus atau kotor, brek kereta akan menghasilkan bunyi berdetir atau berdecit apabila ditekan yang diikuti dengan sedikit gegaran. Jika rotor brek rosak atau meleding, kereta anda boleh tersengguk dengan kuat ketika membrek, bergantung kepada keadaan rotor.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKereta anda juga boleh bergetar semasa anda memperlahankan kereta disebabkan rotor brek yang tak rata menyebabkan kereta mengambil masa yang lama untuk berhenti. Ini sangat berbahaya kerana kereta yang lambat berhenti boleh menyebabkan kemalangan.\u00a0\n\n\nWalaupun kereta yang tersengguk masih lagi boleh dipandu jika penyebabnya tidak serius namun lama-kelamaan jika senggukan itu menjadi lebih kuat ketika memandu pada kelajuan yang sama, itu bermakna ada sesuatu yang tak kena dengan kereta anda. Kereta tersengguk boleh berpunca daripada sebab yang kecil yang boleh mengakibatkan masalah yang lebih besar kemudian.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKereta Anda Tersengguk?

Penggunaan dan pemilihan tayar yang sesuai boleh memberi kesan kepada prestasi, keselesaan dan kelancaran sepanjang pemanduan. Oleh sebab itu, penjagaan dan penyelenggaraan tayar secara berkala penting untuk mengelakkan risiko kemalangan yang boleh meragut nyawa. Kerosakan tayar kereta tidak boleh diambil mudah\u2013bunga tayar haus, tayar botak, tayar makan dalam, tayar makan luar, tayar bengkak adalah antara jenis kerosakan tayar yang biasa berlaku yang perlu diberi perhatian.\n\n\n\n\nMasalah Tayar Kereta: 5 Jenis Kerosakan Tayar Kereta\n\n\nMasalah tayar kereta boleh mengakibatkan risiko kemalangan dan kecederaan. CARSOME menyenaraikan lima (5) punca dan jenis kerosakan \ntayar kereta\n\u00a0\nyang perlu anda tahu untuk panduan dan rujukan anda:\n\n\n1. Bunga Tayar Haus Melintang\n\n\nJika tayar kereta anda menunjukkan tanda-tanda bunga tayar haus secara tidak sekata, ia mungkin menunjukkan tayar anda mengalami masalah yang dikenali sebagai \u201c\ncupping\n\u201c. Secara umumnya, masalah \u201c\ncupping\n\u201d atau juga dikenali sebagai \u201c\nscalloped tires\n\u201d merujuk pada pelbagai masalah suspensi kenderaan. Suspensi kenderaan yang rosak menyebabkan berat kenderaan menjadi tidak sekata sekali gus menyebabkan lebihan berat tertumpu pada sebahagian tayar sahaja.\n\n\nBunga tayar haus secara tidak sekata biasanya dikaitkan dengan masalah pada bahagian sistem suspensi yang perlu diberi perhatian yang serius. Komponen suspensi seperti penyerap kejutan (\nshock absorber\n), topang (\nstrut\n), sesendal (\nbushing\n) dan lain-lain berpotensi untuk haus selari dengan jarak perjalanan kenderaan.\n\n\n2. Tayar Botak Tepi\n\n\nTekanan angin tayar yang bersesuaian penting dalam memastikan kelancaran perjalanan, keselamatan pemanduan serta ketahanan tayar. Tekanan angin tayar yang terlalu kurang menyebabkan tayar menjadi haus atau botak tepi. Selain itu, tekanan angin tayar yang terlalu kurang juga boleh meningkatkan penggunaan bahan api, menjejaskan prestasi pemanduan dan pengendalian kenderaan terutamanya semasa melalui jalan raya yang berselekoh.\n\n\n3. Bunga Tayar Haus atau Tayar Botak Tengah\n\n\nAngin tayar berlebihan akan menyebabkan bunga tayar haus atau tayar botak di bahagian tengah. Tekanan angin tayar yang terlalu tinggi boleh menyebabkan cengkaman tayar pada jalan berkurangan. Ia sekali gus boleh mengakibatkan tayar bengkak atau dalam kes yang lebih serius boleh menyebabkan tayar pecah. Periksa label tekanan angin tayar di bahagian pintu pemandu jika anda tidak pasti amaun tekanan angin yang bersesuaian dengan kenderaan anda. Tekanan angin tayar yang berlebihan atau berkurangan bukan sahaja menyebabkan kehausan tayar yang tidak sekata malah boleh menjejaskan prestasi dan keselesaan sepanjang pemanduan.\n\n\n4. Tayar Haus, Tayar Botak Secara Tidak Sekata\n\n\nKerosakan secara rawak atau \u2018\npatchy spot\u2019\n adalah disebabkan oleh masalah pengimbangan (\nbalancing\n). Secara amnya, \nbalancing\n merujuk pada proses pengimbangan tayar supaya tayar dapat berputar dengan baik dan tidak bergegar. Tayar yang tidak seimbang boleh dikesan apabila anda merasa getaran pada stereng atau kenderaan anda tidak bergerak secara lurus. Anda disarankan untuk melakukan penyelenggaraan \nbalancing\n tayar sekurang-kurangnya setiap enam bulan untuk memastikan kualiti dan memanjangkan jangka hayat tayar.\n\n\n5. Tayar Makan Dalam\n\n\nSelain itu, punca tayar makan dalam adalah disebabkan oleh masalah penjajaran atau \nalignment\n kereta yang tidak betul. \nAlignment\n merupakan proses meluruskan semula kedudukan tayar agar selari dengan sudut roda stereng. Kedudukan tayar kereta yang tidak betul boleh mengakibatkan tayar makan dalam dan kehausan tayar berlaku secara tidak sekata. Dalam sesetengah keadaan, kerosakan bahagian tayar kereta ini juga boleh menyebabkan risiko kerosakan komponen-komponen lain pada kereta.\n\n\nTip Keselamatan Tayar Kereta CARSOME\n\n\nAspek keselamatan berkaitan tayar tidak boleh dipandang ringan. Penyelenggaraan tayar secara berkala dapat mengurangkan kos pembaikan, meningkatkan jangka hayat tayar dan menjamin keselamatan anda terutamanya semasa berada di jalan raya. Berikut merupakan perkara yang boleh anda pertimbangkan untuk memastikan \nkeadaan tayar\n \nanda tetap berada dalam keadaan terbaik:\n\n\n\n\nPemeriksaan pengimbangan dan penjajaran (\nbalancing and alignment\n) sekurang-kurangnya dua kali setahun dapat mengurangkan risiko kerosakan pada tayar.\n\n\nTekanan angin tayar\n \nyang bersesuaian dapat mengurangkan faktor kemalangan dan menjimatkan penggunaan bahan api. Lakukan pemeriksaan sekurang-kurangnya sebulan atau seminggu sekali untuk memastikan tekanan tayar sentiasa berada dalam keadaan yang baik.\n\n\nKedudukan tayar perlu ditukar (\ntire rotation\n) secara berkala kerana ia dapat membantu meningkatkan jangka hayat tayar untuk prestasi yang lebih optimum. Kebiasaannya, kedudukan tayar disyorkan untuk ditukar setiap 5,000 hingga 8,000 km bergantung pada penggunaan.\n\n\n\n\nTip Pro: Tekanan angin tayar yang biasanya tertulis pada bahagian sisi tayar menandakan tekanan angin maksimum yang mampu ditampung oleh tayar. Ia bukan bermaksud tekanan yang bersesuaian untuk tayar.\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, sekiranya anda merancang untuk\u00a0\nmembeli kereta terpakai\n\u00a0\natau\u00a0\nmenjual kereta terpakai\n\u00a0\nlama anda, layari laman web CARSOME untuk info lanjut.

Punca dan Cara Elakkan Kebakaran Kereta", "body": ["", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n", "Search", "Home\nBM\nKereta Terbakar? Punca dan Cara Elakkan Kebakaran Kereta", "Kereta Terbakar? Punca dan Cara Elakkan Kebakaran Kereta", "By\n \nAhmad Azwadie Azman", "27/05/2021", "\n\n\n\n\n", "Menurut statistik kebakaran kenderaan bermotor oleh \nJabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia\n pada 2018, terdapat sebanyak 2,834 kes kebakaran kenderaan direkodkan melibatkan semua jenis pengangkutan darat dengan 1,724 daripada jumlah keseluruhan kes melibatkan kes kereta terbakar. Bagaimana dan mengapa kebakaran kereta boleh berlaku? Secara realitinya, kebakaran kereta merupakan kejadian dan insiden yang boleh dielakkan. Kebakaran biasanya berlaku disebabkan oleh kelalaian atau kecuaian pemilik kenderaan dalam mematuhi aspek penyelenggaraan dan keselamatan kereta.\n\n\n\n\n7 Punca Kebakaran Kereta di Malaysia\n\n\nAspek penyelenggaraan dan keselamatan kereta mengikut spesifikasi yang betul dapat membantu mengelakkan dan mengurangkan risiko kereta anda daripada terbakar. Secara amnya, kebakaran kereta boleh berlaku disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Kebocoran Bahan Api\n\n\nKebocoran bahan api merupakan salah satu penyebab kebakaran kenderaan yang paling biasa berlaku di Malaysia. Bahan api seperti \npetrol atau diesel\n \nmerupakan bahan mudah terbakar yang penting untuk kereta. Kebakaran boleh berlaku sekiranya ada kebocoran bahan api, ditambah pula dengan kehadiran oksigen dan percikan api kecil daripada sistem pendawaian kereta yang telah longgar atau rosak. Kebakaran yang disebabkan oleh bahan api biasanya disebabkan oleh situasi berikut:\n\n\n\n\nSaluran bahan bakar yang rosak dan tidak diselenggara;\n\n\nSistem penyambungan dan suntikan bahan api (\nfuel injection\n) yang tidak betul dan bocor.\n\n\n\n\n2. Kegagalan Sistem Elektrik\n\n\nKegagalan sistem elektrik juga merupakan penyebab kereta terbakar yang paling biasa dilaporkan. Bateri kereta misalnya, berfungsi membekalkan kuasa elektrik kepada motor penghidup dan sistem penyalaan. Meskipun bersaiz kecil, bateri kereta 12 voltan berupaya menghasilkan gas hidrogen semasa pengecasan dan berpotensi menyebabkan letupan. Dalam erti kata lain, bateri dan kabel pengecaj (\nstarter cables\n) berupaya membawa arus yang mencukupi untuk menghidupkan api dan menyebabkan kebakaran sekiranya berlaku kerosakan.\n\n\nSelain itu, mentol lampu yang pecah juga boleh menyebabkan kebakaran kerana filamen lampu hadapan boleh memanas dan mencecah suhu sehingga 1,400 \u00b0C. Jika tidak dibaiki dengan segera, ia berpotensi menyebabkan litar pintas dan kebakaran.\n\n\n3. Enjin Terlampau Panas (\nOverheating\n)\n\n\nKejadian enjin\n overheating\n merupakan situasi normal yang berlaku dalam kalangan kereta lama, lebih-lebih lagi jika pemilik mengabaikan aspek penyelenggaraan. \nOverheating\n biasanya berlaku disebabkan oleh kegagalan atau kerosakan \nrelay \ndan kipas radiator, kebocoran radiator atau disebabkan oleh kerosakan pam air (\nwater pump\n). Enjin yang terlampau panas ditambah pula dengan bahan cecair mudah terbakar yang terdapat dalam enjin seperti \nminyak hitam\n, minyak transmisi automatik, cecair brek hidraulik dan penyejuk (\ncoolant\n) merupakan elemen lengkap yang boleh menyebabkan kebakaran.\n\n\nPancarongga ekzos (atau \nexhaust manifold\n \u2013 laluan untuk gas ekzos yang keluar dari kebuk pembakaran masuk ke dalam sistem paip ekzos) pada enjin yang panas boleh mencecah suhu sehingga 500\u00b0C. Suhu ini cukup tinggi untuk menyalakan api sekiranya berlaku kebocoran di mana-mana bahagian dalam enjin.\n\n\n4. Aksesori Kereta\n\n\nPemasangan atau pendawaian aksesori kereta seperti \ndashcam\n kereta yang tidak mengikut piawaian yang betul juga boleh menyebabkan kebakaran semasa di jalan raya. Pemasangan yang tidak dilakukan dengan baik mengikut spesifikasi yang betul ini boleh menyebabkan litar pintas dan dalam situasi tertentu, boleh menyebabkan kerugian (kereta terbakar dan sebagainya) kepada pemilik. Oleh itu, pastikan aksesori kereta anda dipasang oleh juruteknik yang berpengalaman. Pembaikan dan pemasangan amatur boleh mendatangkan bahaya yang tidak diingini yang boleh merugikan anda.\n\n\n5. Barangan Berbahaya\n\n\nKebanyakan pemilik kenderaan mengambil mudah mengenai barangan yang disimpan di dalam kereta. Sesetengah barangan yang disimpan adalah berbahaya dan berisiko tinggi sehingga boleh menyebabkan kebakaran. Justeru itu, anda disarankan untuk mengelakkan daripada menyimpan barangan mudah terbakar di dalam kereta anda:\n\n\nBarangan Mudah Terbakar yang Tidak Sesuai Ditinggalkan, Disimpan di dalam Kereta\n\n\nBagi sesetengah individu, kereta bukan sahaja berfungsi sebagai salah satu kaedah pengangkutan, tetapi turut berfungsi sebagai tempat simpanan sementara barangan keperluan harian. Namun begitu, tidak semua barangan sesuai ditinggalkan dalam kereta. Berikut merupakan antara barangan mudah terbakar yang tidak sesuai disimpan di dalam kereta:\n\n\ni. Tin Aerosol\n\n\nKebiasaannya, tin penyembur rambut, deodoran, cat semburan dan barangan lain seumpamanya menampilkan cadangan suhu penyimpanan di bahagian sisi tin. Ini kerana, tin sebegini sangat sensitif terhadap sebarang perubahan suhu. Sekiranya tin ini di simpan di tempat bersuhu tinggi (cuaca panas atau sejuk) terlalu lama, kandungan didalamnya boleh mengembang. Ia secara tidak langsung berpotensi menyebabkan letupan yang mungkin menyebabkan kebakaran jika dibiarkan.\n\n\nJika kereta diletakkan di kawasan terbuka, elakkan daripada meninggalkan barangan ini di dalam kereta dan bawa barangan ini bersama anda.\n\n\nii. Pemetik Api\n\n\nMeskipun bersaiz kecil, pemetik api boleh menyebabkan kebakaran jika dibiarkan terdedah kepada cuaca panas di dalam kenderaan. Suhu di dalam kenderaan yang diletakkan di kawasan terbuka boleh menjangkau sehingga 60 \u00b0C atau lebih. Haba panas dalam kenderaan ini secara tidak langsung boleh menyebabkan tiub plastik kecil ini mengembang dan meletup dan berpotensi mendatangkan risiko kebakaran.\n\n\nMeskipun kebarangkalian untuk pemetik api menyebabkan kebakaran kenderaan adalah tipis, namun tidak salah sekiranya beringat-ingat. Elakkan menyimpan barangan atau cecair mudah terbakar di dalam kereta terutamanya semasa cuaca panas.\n\n\niii. Botol Plastik\n\n\nBotol plastik yang mengandungi air membiaskan cahaya matahari dan berpotensi untuk menyalakan api terutamanya pada bahagian tempat duduk atau objek mudah terbakar lain. Memetik kajian David Richardson dari \nJabatan Kebakaran Midwest\n, Amerika Syarikat, botol air boleh menghasilkan haba dan sinaran matahari yang menembusi botol berisi air boleh bertindak sama seperti penggunaan kaca pembesar. Dalam erti kata lain, botol berisi air yang dibiarkan di dalam kereta sudah memadai untuk menghasilkan percikan api yang boleh menyebabkan kebakaran.\n\n\nSelain itu, botol air yang ditinggalkan di dalam kereta juga boleh menghasilkan \nbispenol A\n (BPA) \u2013 sebatian kimia berbahaya yang biasanya ditemui dalam plastik jernih yang boleh menyebabkan kanser. Oleh itu, elakkan daripada meninggalkan botol air di dalam kereta anda untuk mengelakkan risiko kebakaran dan penyakit berbahaya.\n\n\niv. Barangan Elektronik\n\n\nTelefon pintar merupakan salah satu keperluan yang dimiliki oleh semua individu masa kini. Seiring dengan perkembangan teknologi ini, penggunaan barangan elektronik seperti \npowerbank\n juga semakin meluas untuk membekalkan kuasa tambahan pada telefon pintar terutamanya semasa kecemasan. Namun begitu, jika tidak disimpan dengan betul, ia boleh mendatangkan bahaya dan kecederaan. \nPowerbank\n jika dibiarkan di dalam kereta boleh menyebabkannya menjadi terlalu panas dan berpotensi untuk meletup.\n\n\nElakkan daripada meninggalkan \npowerbank\n atau apa-apa peralatan elektronik termasuklah telefon bimbit, tablet, kamera, rokok elektronik (\nvape\n) atau apa-apa barangan yang mengandungi bateri di dalam kereta kerana suhu yang tinggi boleh mendatangkan risiko kebakaran.\n\n\n6. Memandu Sambil Merokok\n\n\nPerbuatan memandu sambil merokok merupakan situasi yang biasa dilihat di jalan raya. Namun begitu, jika aspek keselamatan diabaikan, ia mungkin boleh menyebabkan kebakaran. Anda mungkin boleh membayangkan senario seorang pemandu lori yang membuang puntung rokok melalui tingkap. Ada kemungkinan puntung rokok yang dicampak keluar daripada tingkap memasuki ruang belakang kenderaan yang sarat dengan barangan seperti kayu serta objek mudah terbakar lain \u2013 kebakaran boleh berlaku. Oleh itu, elakkan daripada memandu sambil merokok terutamanya jika anda membawa barangan mudah terbakar bersama anda.\n\n\nBaru-baru ini juga tular di \nmedia sosial\n mengenai insiden kereta meletup dan terputus dua sehingga mengorbankan pemandunya dipercayai akibat mangsa merokok dalam kenderaan yang sarat dengan mercun bola.\n\n\n7. Kemalangan\n\n\nKebanyakan kenderaan hari ini dilengkapi dengan zon remuk yang melindungi bahagian dalaman kenderaan yang penting seperti tangki minyak, enjin kereta, bateri dan komponen berisiko lain terutamanya semasa kemalangan. Meskipun begitu, bergantung pada impak perlanggaran dan situasi semasa kemalangan, bahagian ini mungkin turut berpotensi mengalami kerosakan. Komponen kereta seperti bateri dan alternator yang rosak disebabkan kemalangan misalnya, mungkin mengeluarkan percikan api lalu terkena pada bahagian-bahagian tertentu yang mengandungi cecair mudah terbakar yang telah bocor lalu menyebabkan komponen kereta yang lain terbakar.\n\n\nMengikut statistik\n Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia\n, sebanyak 2,512 kes kebakaran disebabkan kemalangan direkodkan pada tahun 2018.\n\n\nApa yang Anda Perlu\u00a0Lakukan Sekiranya Kereta Anda Terbakar?\n\n\nJika kereta yang anda naiki terbakar disebabkan oleh kemalangan atau lain-lain situasi, kekal tenang dan jangan panik. Kebakaran kenderaan dapat merebak dengan cepat terutama jika kenderaan bergerak kerana angin akan membekalkan lebih banyak oksigen untuk pembakaran yang lebih cepat. Anda disarankan untuk melakukan langkah-langkah keselamatan berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerlahankan dan berhentikan kenderaan anda di bahu jalan.\n\n\nMatikan enjin kereta, tarik \nhandbrake\n dan tukarkan gear kepada P sebelum anda keluar daripada kereta anda \u2013 sistem pembakaran enjin masih berjalan jika enjin tidak dimatikan sekali gus menggalakkan api merebak dengan lebih cepat.\n\n\nTanggalkan tali pinggang keledar. Jika tali pinggang keledar tidak dapat ditanggalkan, potong tali pinggang keledar menggunakan\n tukul cermin pelbagai fungsi\n.\n\n\nSelamatkan diri anda dan ahli keluarga (jika ada), segera keluar daripada kereta atau buka kunci pintu kereta atau tingkap untuk memudahkan orang lain atau pasukan penyelamat untuk menyelamatkan anda.\n\n\nJika pintu atau tingkap kereta anda tidak boleh dibuka, tendang atau pecahkan cermin untuk keluar daripada kereta.\n\n\nTutup mulut dan hidung anda dengan tudung atau kain (jika ada) untuk mengelakkan anda daripada tersedut asap yang berbahaya.\n\n\nSetelah berjaya keluar, pastikan anda dan ahli keluarga (jika ada) berada sekurang-kurangnya 30 meter daripada kereta yang terbakar.\n\n\nJangan sesekali kembali ke kereta untuk mendapatkan barangan peribadi.\n\n\nHubungi talian kecemasan 999 untuk bantuan lanjut.\n\n\nTindakan mencuba untuk mengawal atau memadamkan api sendiri mungkin sukar lebih-lebih lagi jika anda tidak dapat mengesan sumber api \u2013 elakkan berbuat sedemikian untuk keselamatan anda.\n\n\nNamun begitu, jika anda dapat mengesan sumber api dan mempunyai alat pemadam api yang sesuai, berdiri pada jarak yang selamat dan aktifkan alat pemadam api.\n\n\nJangan buka bonet atau but jika sumber api berpunca dari situ. Kehadiran oksigen tambahan boleh menyebabkan api menjadi lebih marak.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTips dan Panduan Keselamatan Elakkan Kereta Terbakar\n\n\nCarsome turut menyenaraikan tips dan panduan keselamatan berikut untuk mengelakkan kereta anda daripada terbakar:\n\n\n\n\nMatikan enjin kenderaan semasa mengisi minyak;\n\n\nElakkan merokok semasa membawa barangan mudah terbakar;\n\n\nJangan tinggal barangan mudah terbakar atau barangan elektrik seperti \npowerbank\n dan rokok elektronik di dalam kereta terutamanya jika kereta diletakkan di kawasan tempat letak kereta terbuka;\n\n\nElakkan pemasangan atau pendawaian aksesori tambahan kereta yang tidak mengikut spefikasi yang dibenarkan;\n\n\nLakukan penyelenggaraan kereta mengikut jadual yang ditetapkan untuk menggantikan komponen kereta yang usang dan rosak.\n\n\n\n\nOrang ramai terutamanya pemilik kereta juga turut dinasihatkan untuk menyimpan \nalat pemadam api\n \ndalam kenderaan sebagai langkah pencegahan untuk mengelakkan insiden kebakaran sebegini daripada berlaku semasa di jalan raya.\n\n\nCara Menggunakan Alat Pemadam Api\n\n\nAlat pemadam api jenis ABC (1 kg) sesuai digunakan untuk kereta, manakala alat pemadam api jenis ABC (2 kg) sesuai digunakan untuk kenderaan besar seperti lori tiga tan. Kebiasaannya, alat pemadam api jenis ABC ini dijual di pasaran pada harga sekitar RM70 hingga RM85.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTong alat pemadam api mestilah digunakan dalam keadaan tegak.\n\n\nPastikan anda berdiri sekurang-kurangnya 1.5 meter dari punca api dan tidak melawan arah angin.\n\n\nElakkan berdiri terlalu dekat \u2013 tekanan udara yang tinggi dalam tong membolehkan penyemburan serbuk ini dilakukan dengan selamat dari jarak 1.5 meter.\n\n\nCabut pin di bahagian pemegang.\n\n\nHalakan nozel ke bahagian pangkal api.\n\n\nTekan tuil di bahagian atas.\n\n\nLayangkan nozel ke kiri dan ke kanan secara berulang sehingga api padam.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda sedang mempertimbangkan untuk \nmenjual kereta lama\u00a0\ndan berminat untuk\n\u00a0\nmendapatkan\u00a0kereta terpakai\n\u00a0baharu, layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

Kalau kereta tak dibaiki, apapun tak boleh buat.\n\n\n\n\nSebenarnya, pusat servis kereta yang macam mana orang Malaysia ni impikan? Mungkin ini antara apa yang mereka nak ada:\u00a0\n\n\n1. Tempat Menunggu Dengan \nAircond\u00a0\n\n\nJaranglah ada pusat servis yang sejuk dan nyaman. Biasanya pusat servis kereta ini, suasananya panas dan sangat-sangat tak selesa. Kalau nak bagi sejuk pun, bengkel akan pasang kipas besar yang bunyinya memekakkan telinga tapi tak sejuk mana pun.\n\n\n\n\nKan best, kalau ada pusat servis yang ada ruang khas untuk pelanggan menunggu kereta siap dibaiki.

Which One Is for You?", "By\n \nCarsome Author", "19/07/2018", "\n\n\n\n\n", "\n\nThis topic is largely controversial as it opens up the debate on which system is better. However if looked at both objectively with facts and real world tests, it is certain that both systems do have their advantages and disadvantages in various situations. What do you think? Inspired by \nCarThrottle\u2019s article\n, we list the facts for both below and open up the debate for you.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nquattro\n\n\n\n\nAudi\u2019s motorsport history is also the birth of quattro. The first Audi Ur-quattro car was one presented at the 1980 Geneva Motor Show. The coupe-like rear design seemed like a strange shape at the time, but was used as an inspiration by many carmakers years on. When the car made its debut at the 1981 Monte Carlo Rally, it made headlines for overtaking another car that started a minute before. Many victories including two drivers and manufacturers\u2019 titles with Ur-quattro in the WRC cemented the brand\u2019s presence and the importance of quattro.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe quattro system differs from model to model and isn\u2019t the same across the board. Depending on quattro type, the all-wheel drive system differs in torque split between models. While most of the system is a 50:50 split between the two axles under normal driving conditions, the brand\u2019s S and RS models are more rear-biased. With splits including 60:40 and 15:85 on the Audi R8.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere are quattro systems which are longitudinally mounted and those which are transversely mounted. Depending on the drive set up, most rear-bias uses torsen differential while front-wheel drive uses the haldex system.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nLongitudinally mounted engines with torsen differentials transfer torque between front and rear axles mechanically with stability control. This allows each wheel to spin differently depending on each corners\u2019 slippage condition. The centre differential locks when a wheel slips on either axle and torque is transferred from the slipping axle to the one with traction.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhile benefits of the torsen differential is its mechanical and always active nature, the brand is moving towards the haldex system with its quattro with ultra-technology for improved efficiency.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nYet, the drawbacks of the torsen\u2019s diff is that if an axle has no traction, there is no resistance to send to the other side of the car.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nxDrive\n\n\n\n\nBMW\u2019s first car to feature four-wheel drive is the 1985 E30 325 ix Allrad that debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It was the all-wheel drive E30 that was the talk among journalists at the time, a car that improved traction in adverse weather conditions but was also dynamic in handling through corners.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe xDrive system is standard with a rear-bias nature, and can be found on all of the brand\u2019s models from the 1-Series to the upcoming 8-Series. Today the brand\u2019s xDrive merges hybrid drive and even front wheel drive with the current second generation X1.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe xDrive is a multi-plate clutch system compared to viscous coupling types seen in other all-wheel drive cars. The system is capable of sending 100 per cent of torque to one axle, with an electronically controlled clutch system that varies torque every hundred milliseconds.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhen paired with the dynamic stability control, the drive is capable of braking inside wheels when turning to provide better cornering.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBecause xDrive doesn\u2019t use hydraulic viscous coupling and relies on electrical responses, transitioning from high to low traction surfaces are quicker and with more torque.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDue to the nature of the rear-wheel drive in xDrive systems, the electronics will always intervene to provide a safety net for the vehicle. However the rear-bias maintains the driving feel of a BMW.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIf you\u2019re confused how differentials work, watch this.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nHave you tried our bidding system to sell your car?

Here Are the Top 13 Questions to Ask at the Dealership", "By\n \nDevan S", "05/07/2023", "\n\n\n\n\n", "Whether you\u2019re in the market for a new or used car, you\u2019ll want to ask the right questions when visiting your dealership. Choosing the right car is an important decision that can affect both your lifestyle and wallet \u2014 and knowing what to ask beforehand can help you get it just right. From questions about price ranges, safety features, financing options, and more, here are some key questions that will ensure you\u2019re making an informed purchase when buying your ideal car!\n\n\n1. How Much Is the Car?\n\n\nOne of the most important questions you should ask your dealer when buying a car is how much it costs. This may seem like an obvious question, but it\u2019s important to get a clear understanding of the total cost of the vehicle, including any fees or taxes. By asking this question upfront, you can avoid any surprises later on and make sure that you are getting a fair deal.\u00a0\n\n\n2. How Long Is the Warranty & Does It Cover Any Maintenance?\n\n\nWhen purchasing a car, it\u2019s important to consider the warranty that comes with it. A car is a significant investment, and you want to ensure that you\u2019re protected in case anything goes wrong. One of the most crucial questions to ask when buying a car is the length of the warranty and what kind of maintenance it covers, if any.\u00a0\n\n\nNew cars typically come with free labor charges for the first few scheduled services so you don\u2019t need to worry about the initial labor charges of servicing your car. A car warranty typically covers repairs for a certain period after purchase, which can vary depending on the manufacturer or dealership.\u00a0\n\n\nWarranty for Used Cars\n\n\nWhile used cars typically don\u2019t come with a warranty, you can ask the dealership if they have an extended warranty program. All \nCARSOME Certified cars\n come with a one-year Gold Warranty Plan as standard that covers the engine, transmission, and air conditioning. For even more protection, you can upgrade to the Platinum Plan to cover more components for extra peace of mind.\n\n\nRead More: \nHow to Claim Your 1-Year CARSOME Extended Warranty\n\n\n3. What Are the Safety Features Available?\n\n\nWhen it comes to buying a car, safety is one of the most important factors to consider. Fortunately, modern technology has made significant advancements in \ncar safety features\n, providing drivers and passengers with added protection on the road. From airbags to lane departure warning, there are a variety of safety features available that can help prevent accidents and minimize injuries in the event of a collision.\u00a0\n\n\nMost modern cars come with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that include autonomous assistance features such as adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, and even parking assist. So be sure to find out the features that the car has before you settle on it.\n\n\n\n\n4. What Other Features Does It Have?\n\n\nWe often focus on the main features like engine performance and safety. However, there are other features that can greatly enhance our experience while driving. For instance, smaller details such as the location and accessibility of the charging port or cup holder can make a big difference for you and your passengers.\u00a0\n\n\nConnectivity features such as wireless Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, on the other hand, can help you easily control your navigation and music without fumbling with your phone. These seemingly minor features can actually make a big difference in the day-to-day use of your vehicle.\u00a0\n\n\n5. Can I Test-Drive the Car?\n\n\nIt\u2019s important to make sure that the car you\u2019re interested in is the right fit for you. One way to do this is by \ntaking the car for a test drive\n and seeing if it feels comfortable and suits your needs. Fortunately, most dealerships offer the opportunity to take a test drive before making a purchase. This allows you to get behind the wheel, experience how the car handles on the road, and see if it meets your expectations.\n\n\nDuring a test drive, you can ask questions about features and specifications that matter to you. If you\u2019re buying a used car, this is the opportunity to find out if the car has any engine, mechanical, or handling problems as well. Don\u2019t be afraid to ask for one \u2013 it could save you from making an expensive mistake down the road.\n\n\n6. Do You Have the Car\u2019s Maintenance History?\n\n\nWhen it comes to purchasing a used car, one of the most important pieces of information to gather is the car\u2019s maintenance history. This refers to the service records and repairs that have been performed on the vehicle throughout its lifetime. Having access to this information can provide valuable insights into the car\u2019s overall condition and help you make an informed decision about whether or not to buy it.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n7. Has It Been in Any Accidents?\n\n\nOne of the most important questions to ask before buying a used car is whether or not it has been in any accidents. Accidents can cause damage to the car that may not be immediately visible, but can have long-lasting effects on its performance and safety. As a result, it\u2019s important to find that out before making a purchase.\u00a0\n\n\nAll cars sold on CARSOME have been thoroughly inspected by our qualified inspectors to rule out major accident, fire, and flood damage, so you can rest assured when you buy a CARSOME Certified car.\n\n\n8. Does It Have Any Problems or Damages?\n\n\nIt\u2019s normal for a car to encounter problems and damages over its lifetime. From minor paint damage to more serious mechanical issues, these are problems that can appear in a used car. When buying a used car, make sure you determine if it has any defects, and the severity of them, if any. A car with minor cosmetic damages such as small scratches or faded interior upholstery isn\u2019t really a dealbreaker as these things don\u2019t affect its safety and performance. In fact, they could be points to help you lower the car\u2019s price.\n\n\nAccessing the Inspection Report of CARSOME Cars\n\n\nAt CARSOME, all cars come with a comprehensive report covering the condition of 175 inspected points including critical mechanical components such as the brakes, engine, and steering. You can find this report on each of our listings or simply request our CARSOME Consultants to help you with it.\n\n\n\n\nExample of the inspection report on CARSOME\u2019s car listing page\n\n\n9. What\u2019s the Age & Mileage of the Car?\n\n\nThe age and mileage are two of the most important factors that determine a used car\u2019s value. Its\u00a0 age and mileage can have a significant impact on its condition, performance, and overall worth. While some buyers may be hesitant to purchase a car with high mileage, others may see it as an opportunity to get a good deal.\n\n\nWhile the age and mileage of a car are important considerations, they don\u2019t make or break a car. As long as a car is properly maintained and driven responsibly, it can last for well over 100,000km and still serve you well. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to view the car in person and take it out for a test drive. A test drive will allow you to evaluate the way it drives and notice things you wouldn\u2019t if you just inspected the car without driving it.\n\n\nRead More: \n6 Car Inspection Industry Secrets Shared by CARSOME Inspectors\n\n\n10. Are There Additional Fees?\n\n\nIn addition to the cost of the car itself, there may be additional fees you need to consider before making your purchase. Since most buyers will be taking a loan to purchase their car, the most common fee you\u2019ll encounter is the loan processing fee. This fee can vary depending on your lender and loan terms, so be sure to ask about it.\n\n\nExtra Fees on Used Cars?\n\n\nIf you buy a used car you\u2019ll also face an ownership transfer fee and PUSPAKOM inspection fee. Many used car dealers only add on these fees after you decide to purchase the car making them additional costs you should be aware of.\u00a0\n\n\nFor a more straightforward purchasing process, shop on reputable used-car platforms such as CARSOME. We offer fixed prices on all our cars, without hidden fees. That means you won\u2019t be blindsided by unwanted fees that\u2019ll disrupt your budget.\u00a0\n\n\n11. Do You Have Any Discounts or Promotions?\n\n\nWhen it comes to purchasing a new car, every penny counts. That\u2019s why car manufacturers and dealerships often offer a variety of promotions to help you with your purchase. Be sure to ask the dealer for any available discounts or promotions as you never know what\u2019s the latest available deal.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a used car from CARSOME, you can look out for the latest promotions on our website or app. You can also ask the CARSOME Consultant at our Experience Centers for available deals to get even more savings when you buy from us.\n\n\n\n\n12. Are There Special Financing Terms?\n\n\nBuying a car is a significant investment, and finding the right financing option can make all the difference. Fortunately, many car dealerships and lenders offer special financing terms to help you get behind the wheel of your dream car without breaking the bank.\n\n\nCar financing deals can include promotions such as low-interest rates, cashback offers, or easier loan approvals. These can help you save money on your car loan and even help make it easier for you to secure a loan.\n\n\nShopping for the best car loan can be a tedious process. That\u2019s why at CARSOME, our friendly consultants can help you handle all the paperwork for your loan application and let you know of any available financing promotions so you get the best deal possible.\n\n\n13. Can You Deliver the Car to Me?\n\n\nIf you live far from a car dealership or don\u2019t have the convenience of collecting your car in person, you can often ask the dealership to deliver the car to you. Be sure to ask them if that\u2019s an option and if it comes with any cost. When you buy from CARSOME you can choose to collect your car in person at your chosen Experience Center or opt for a home delivery where we\u2019ll deliver the car to your doorstep at absolutely no cost!\n\n\nExperience the Trusted Way to Buy a Car at CARSOME\n\n\nBuying a vehicle at CARSOME is more than just about choosing and booking your car online.

Oleh sebab itu, sebarang simptom atau tanda-tanda radiator kereta rosak perlu diberi perhatian yang serius untuk mengelakkan kerosakan komponen enjin lain yang lebih serius daripada berlaku. Aspek penjagaan radiator perlu diberi perhatian yang serius \u2013 jika diabaikan, ia boleh menyebabkan kos penyelenggaraan, penggantian atau pembaikan yang lebih tinggi. Meskipun begitu, kebanyakan pemilik kenderaan mengambil mudah aspek penjagaan radiator dan adakalanya tidak menyedari ada sesuatu yang tidak kena pada komponen ini.\n\n\nPerkara Perlu Tahu Mengenai Radiator Kereta: Apa itu Radiator, Fungsi Radiator?\n\n\nSecara amnya, fungsi radiator adalah untuk menyejukkan enjin dan menghalang enjin daripada terlampau panas atau\n overheating\n. Enjin kereta dilengkapi dengan air \ncoolant\n (cecair penyejuk) atau air radiator yang memainkan peranan penting dalam menyerap haba panas daripada enjin dan memindahkannya ke radiator untuk proses penyejukan. Setelah sejuk, bendalir ini kemudiannya akan dihantar semula ke enjin dan proses ini akan berterusan sehinggalah suhu dalam enjin kekal stabil dan sejuk.\n\n\n\n\n6 Simptom atau Tanda Radiator Kereta Rosak\n\n\nEnjin pembakaran dalaman menghasilkan banyak haba semasa beroperasi \u2013 kerosakan radiator secara tidak langsung boleh menyebabkan enjin kereta berasap dan menjadi terlalu panas. Radiator yang rosak atau tidak berfungsi dengan betul boleh menyebabkan beberapa masalah serius yang lain. CARSOME menyenaraikan enam (6) tanda radiator rosak untuk rujukan dan panduan anda seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Enjin Kereta \nOverheat\n\n\nJika enjin kereta\n overheat\n meskipun dalam keadaan pemanduan biasa, ia merupakan petanda ada kerosakan serius berlaku pada radiator kereta anda. Radiator merupakan satu-satunya komponen dalam kenderaan yang berperanan penting dalam memastikan enjin kekal sejuk \u2013 jika enjin terlalu panas, ia boleh mendatangkan risiko kerosakan lain. Enjin kereta pada asasnya merangkumi pelbagai komponen bergerak lain yang memastikan prestasi kereta kekal berada dalam keadaan baik.\n\n\nOleh sebab itu, kerosakan pada sistem penyejukan enjin boleh meningkatkan geseran sekali gus mengakibatkan pengumpulan haba. Pengumpulan haba yang berlebihan boleh menyebabkan sesetengah komponen dalam kereta rosak dan mungkin memerlukan penggantian segera.\n\n\n2. Tangki Simpanan Air Radiator Selalu Kurang, Air Radiator Kering\n\n\nKebocoran dalam sistem penyejukan kereta boleh memberi impak yang ketara terhadap prestasi keseluruhan kereta. Masalah tangki simpanan air radiator selalu kurang atau air radiator kering biasanya dikaitkan dengan kerosakan radiator itu sendiri, atau masalah pada hos dan blok enjin. Jika anda mengesan ada kebocoran air\n coolant\n atau air radiator pada kereta anda, segera bawa kereta anda ke bengkel untuk pembaikan segera. Biasanya, kebocoran radiator boleh dilihat dengan jelas melalui pemeriksaan visual \u2013 air\n coolant\n atau air radiator bocor meninggalkan tompokan bendalir berwarna kuning terang, hijau atau merah di bahagian bawah kereta.\n\n\nRadiator Kereta: Tanda Radiator Bocor\n\n\nRadiator kereta membantu mengurangkan suhu panas dalam enjin kereta. Namun begitu, kebocoran radiator boleh menyebabkan ia tidak dapat melaksanakan fungsinya dengan baik. Enjin kereta yang terlalu panas boleh menyebabkan berlaku kerosakan besar pada enjin. Oleh sebab itu, penting untuk anda mengenal pasti tanda-tanda radiator bocor untuk mengurangkan risiko kerosakan serius pada kereta anda.\n\n\ni. Ada Tompok Air di Bawah Kereta\n\n\nRadiator yang mengalami kebocoran biasanya akan meninggalkan lopak atau tompok air di bahagian bawah kereta anda. Jika anda perhatikan kawasan \nparking\n kereta anda dan ada tompokan atau tumpahan bendalir, ia menandakan ada kebocoran bendalir. Untuk kepastian, gunakan tuala kertas atau kain bersih berwarna putih dan sapukan pada tompok air tersebut. Perhatikan warnanya \u2013 tompokan berwarna hijau menandakan potensi kebocoran air \ncoolant \natau air radiator.\n\n\nii. Air\n Coolant\n, Air Radiator Kering\n\n\nKebanyakan kenderaan moden hari ini dilengkapi dengan sistem amaran elektronik yang berfungsi memberi amaran kepada pemilik sekiranya berlaku sebarang masalah pada sistem kereta. Lampu amaran suhu enjin misalnya berfungsi memberi amaran sekiranya berlaku masalah pada sistem enjin. Jika lampu amaran ini menyala, segera periksa paras air \ncoolant\n atau air radiator kereta.\n\n\nJika air radiator kering, segera tambah. Namun sekiranya lampu amaran ini menyala semula setelah beberapa hari (atau minggu), ia menandakan ada kebocoran radiator berlaku. Air radiator tidak akan kering dengan cepat melainkan ada risiko kebocoran pada mana-mana bahagian dalam enjin anda.\n\n\n\n\niii. Ada Keretakan Nyata, Radiator Berkarat\n\n\nSelain itu, anda juga disarankan untuk memeriksa komponen dalam hud depan kereta anda secara berkala sekurang-kurangnya sebulan sekali. Ia bertujuan untuk memastikan komponen dalam enjin berada dalam keadaan baik. Periksa paras air radiator atau kenal pasti sama ada terdapat sebarang tanda-tanda kerosakan seperti karat, keretakan atau kakisan pada radiator kereta anda.\n\n\n3. Cecair Penyejuk Berubah Warna, Berselut\n\n\nAir\n coolant\n atau air radiator biasanya berwarna kuning terang, hijau atau merah. Jika warna air radiator ini nampak berbeza berbanding biasa seperti luntur, bertukar kepada warna seakan-akan warna karat atau warna minyak, ia menandakan ada bahan cemar lain dalam radiator kereta anda. Karat daripada radiator misalnya boleh menyebabkannya bercampur dengan air radiator\u00a0yang bersih lalu menjadikan warnanya lebih keruh atau berbeza berbanding warna asal.\n\n\nAir \ncoolant\n atau air radiator yang kotor atau berselut boleh memberi kesan yang ketara kepada prestasi radiator. Ia boleh menyebabkan proses kitaran dalam enjin terganggu sekali gus meningkatkan risiko enjin \noverheat\n.\n\n\n4. Paras Air\n Coolant, \nAir Radiator\u00a0Rendah\n\n\nTangki simpanan air radiator selalu kurang atau air radiator kering biasanya dikaitkan dengan masalah radiator bocor. Jika anda mendapati anda perlu menambah air \ncoolant\n atau air radiator dengan kerap berbanding biasa atau lampu amaran \nlow coolant\n menyala pada \ndashboard\n kereta anda, besar kemungkinan radiator kereta anda menghadapi masalah kebocoran. Segera bawa kereta anda ke bengkel untuk pemeriksaan lengkap.\n\n\nAnda juga boleh memeriksa sendiri paras air radiator di rumah. Air radiator kering atau paras air\n coolant\n yang rendah boleh menyebabkan enjin kereta\n overheat\n atau menjadi terlalu panas.\n\n\n5. Sirip Radiator Tersumbat, Rosak\n\n\nRadiator direka untuk memaksimumkan penyejukan dalam enjin kereta \u2013 radiator dibantu oleh tiub sirip nipis di bahagian depan yang berfungsi memindahkan air \ncoolant\n atau air radiator yang panas semasa enjin beroperasi. Kipas radiator akan mengalirkan udara luar ke kawasan sirip ini untuk menurukan suhu air radiator sebelum dipindahkan semula ke dalam enjin. Jika tiub ini tersumbat atau rosak disebabkan oleh serangga, kotoran, daun kering atau lain-lain, aliran udara akan terjejas dan tersumbat sekali gus menjejaskan fungsinya untuk menyejukkan air radiator.\n\n\nBiasanya, sirip radiator yang rosak atau tersumbat akan menyebabkan kerosakan radiator. Anda juga boleh memeriksa sendiri komponen ini secara fizikal \u2013 buka hud depan dan periksa sama ada terdapat kerosakan atau keretakan pada bahagian ini.\n\n\n6. Bacaan Tokok Suhu Enjin Tinggi\n\n\nOleh sebab radiator berfungsi menghalang enjin daripada menjadi terlalu panas, enjin kereta yang \noverheat\n menandakan ada sesuatu yang tidak kena pada radiator kereta anda. Perhatikan bacaan tokok suhu enjin atau \ntemperature gauge\n pada kereta anda sama ada lebih tinggi daripada biasa atau jarum berada dalam zon merah. Bagi sesetengah model kereta baharu, suhu enjin terlampau panas boleh dikesan melalui \nlampu amaran suhu enjin\n \u2013 jika lampu amaran ini menyala, ia menandakan ada kemungkinan masalah atau kerosakan pada bahagian enjin kenderaan anda. Suhu operasi normal untuk enjin kereta adalah sekitar 195 \u00b0F dan 220 \u00b0F.\n\n\nDalam erti kata lain, radiator berfungsi menyejukkan air \ncoolant\n atau air radiator yang panas daripada enjin \u2013 jika radiator rosak, ia boleh menyebabkan masalah yang serius pada enjin. Oleh sebab itu, jika kereta anda menunjukkan sebarang tanda-tanda radiator rosak seperti enjin kereta \noverheat\n, air radiator kering atau masalah-masalah lain seperti \nlampu amaran suhu enjin menyala\n, bawa kereta anda ke bengkel dengan segera untuk pemeriksaan lanjut.\n\n\n\n\nJangka Hayat Radiator Kereta\n\n\nRadiator boleh bertahan lama asalkan aspek penjagaan kenderaan diberi perhatian yang serius oleh pemilik kenderaan. Kebanyakan radiator kereta boleh bertahan sehingga lebih 150,000 km atau kira-kira 10 tahun. Meskipun begitu, terdapat beberapa faktor yang mungkin mempengaruhi jangka hayat radiator dan berpotensi untuk rosak sebelum waktunya:\n\n\n1. Radiator Tersumbat\n\n\nRadiator perlu terdedah kepada aliran udara, ia sering diletakkan di hadapan atau belakang kenderaan dan sentiasa terdedah kepada unsur-unsur. Ini boleh menyebabkan serpihan dan kotoran merosakkan dan menyumbat tiub. Pendedahan yang berpanjangan kepada unsur-unsur ini atau terutamanya keadaan yang kotor boleh menyebabkan radiator rosak lebih cepat daripada biasa.\n\n\n2. Kegagalan Kejuruteraan\n\n\nKegagalan kejuruteraan atau kualiti \nalat ganti kereta\n yang kurang baik bukanlah salah satu faktor popular yang menyebabkan kerosakan komponen berlaku sebelum waktunya. Namun begitu, kebanyakan komponen kereta termasuk radiator terdedah kepada risiko sebegini. Kegagalan kejuruteraan yang melibatkan radiator biasanya dikaitkan dengan kebocoran bendalir.\n\n\n3. Kerosakan Penutup Radiator\n\n\nSistem penyejukan kereta merupakan komponen kereta yang bertekanan. Jika penutup radiator atau mana-mana penutup kedap (\nseal\n) rosak, ia boleh mendatangkan masalah dan menjejaskan prestasi enjin. Penutup radiator yang\u00a0haus atau tidak kemas boleh menjejaskan fungsi radiator dan keseluruhan sistem penyejukan kereta.\n\n\n4. Masalah \nGasket\n Kepala\n\n\nGasket\n kepala atau \nhead gasket\n merupakan salah satu komponen penting dalam sistem enjin. Kegagalan komponen ini boleh menyebabkan beberapa punca masalah lain antaranya menyebabkan \nenjin panas lampau atau\n overheating\n. Ini kerana, \ngasket\n kepala yang rosak menyebabkan masalah kebocoran pada bahagian enjin yang memberi impak terhadap nisbah mampatan. Ia sekali gus menyebabkan tangki simpanan air radiator selalu kurang dan menyebabkan air radiator kering.\n\n\nKos Penggantian Radiator Kereta\n\n\nKos penggantian atau harga tukar radiator kereta biasanya menelan belanja sekitar RM100 hingga RM500 bergantung pada jenama, jenis model, saiz dan kualiti radiator. Radiator biasa dengan teras aluminium dan tangki plastik untuk \nPerodua Myvi\n dijual dalam pasaran pada harga sekitar RM130 hingga RM150. Malah, harga ini mungkin berbeza bergantung pada jenis radiator sama ada komponen\n original\n daripada kilang, jenis OEM atau terpakai. Kos buruh yang dikenakan juga berbeza bergantung pada model kereta. Bagi sesetengah model kereta yang mempunyai akses mudah kepada radiator, kos buruh biasanya lebih rendah. Namun bagi sesetengah model kereta yang lebih rumit dan kompleks seperti \nAudi\n atau \nPorsche\n, ia biasanya menelan kos buruh yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\nSelain itu, sekiranya anda ingin \nbeli kereta pramilik berkualiti dengan keselamatan melebihi taraf, keselesaan sepenuhnya, dan estetik yang dibaik pulih\n, layari laman web CARSOME untuk maklumat lanjut.

While most accidents we see are fender benders involving two vehicles, multi-car pile-up crashes certainly do occur, especially on highways.\n\n\nRear-end collisions are the most common type of high-speed car accident in Malaysia, especially during festivals and school holidays. Though as more of us are now going on \nroad trips\n every weekend, we may see more accidents on the road. That\u2019s why it\u2019s even more important to know how to avoid getting into a pile-up car accident.\n\n\n\n\nWhat Is a Pile-up Car Accident?\n\n\nA pile-up accident is one the most dangerous types of car accidents and occurs when the initial collision doesn\u2019t give the vehicles coming from behind enough time to react, causing vehicles to then pile up on top of each other. On a highway with fast-moving traffic, this can lead to extensive damage to the vehicles and severe injuries.\n\n\nHow Does a Pile-up Accident Happen?\n\n\nA pile-up accident is most likely to occur on a curve or after the peak of an uphill slope. These two spots on the road naturally act as obstacles that block your view of the road in front. Only after you round the corner or go past the peak can you see the road in front and sometimes, that\u2019s too late.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nOftentimes, drivers would approach the curve or peak of an incline only to suddenly meet with standstill traffic or a slower vehicle. Since their view is obstructed, they often don\u2019t react in time and crash into the vehicle in front. This starts a chain reaction causing multiple vehicles to pile up.\n\n\n\n\nThough less common, pile-ups can even happen on a straight, unobstructed road for any number of reasons. Though some of the most common causes are due to tailgating or when your brakes and tires don\u2019t have as much traction when it rains.\n\n\nRead More: \nInvolved In a Car Accident? Here\u2019s What You Need To Do!\n\n\nHow to Avoid Getting into a Pile-up Crash on the Road\n\n\nBeing in a vehicle pile-up can be fatal. However, you can protect yourself by \ndriving defensively\n and being more aware of your surroundings. Here are some tips you can use to avoid rear-end car collisions that ultimately lead to pile-ups:\n\n\n\n\nPay attention not only to the car right in front of you, but also to the road beyond it and to the cars behind you. This trains situational awareness so you can quickly assess your surroundings and react in time.\n\n\nWhen approaching a blind corner or peak of an incline, slow down and keep more distance from the car in front of you. This is also so you can quickly escape if you realize you\u2019ll be in a dangerous position.\n\n\nIf you think you\u2019re queueing at a risky part of the road that might be prone to an accident, you can also turn on your hazard lights, like what drivers in Germany do. As a local driving custom in Germany, the last car in a traffic queue activates its hazard lights to warn other drivers until another car joins the queue, and so on.\n\n\nUpon seeing slow or stand-still traffic after a corner or peak, gradually slow down to a halt instead of suddenly braking. If you\u2019ve slowed your car down sufficiently as mentioned in the previous point, you\u2019ll have more time to come to a halt, making it easy for the car behind you to act accordingly.\n\n\nPay attention to the car behind you. If it\u2019s following you closer than you\u2019d like, you should keep even more distance from the traffic in front of you and slow down gradually so the tailgater can follow suit.\n\n\n\n\nHere\u2019s an example of how not keeping enough distance on the highway can cause a pile-up accident:\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7m-_l-McQo\n\n\nTest Your Situational & Driving Awareness\n\n\nYou can test your driving awareness with a simple practice. While driving, guess the speed you\u2019re doing without looking at your speedometer. If you can do this, you have a good understanding of your car which will help you react better in unexpected situations.\u00a0\n\n\nModern cars, with their improved NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) insulation makes us less sensitive to the higher speeds we\u2019re driving at. That said, with enough effort to be aware of it, you can learn how to control your car better including knowing how to stop effectively while driving.\n\n\nWhat About Your Car\u2019s Safety Features?\n\n\nAdvanced safety features such as \nadaptive cruise control (ACC)\n and autonomous emergency braking (AEB) do help prevent car accidents in Malaysia. However, as these systems use a visual or radar-based system to detect obstacles in front of your car, they still have limitations in what they can do. For starters, this system can\u2019t see what\u2019s past a corner or beyond a hill making it your responsibility to slow down when approaching these hazardous spots.\n\n\n\n\nHere are the conditions in which your AEB may not be able to operate:\n\n\n\n\nWhen driving on a sharp curve or slope.\n\n\nWhen accelerating, braking, or steering while pre-collision braking is engaged.\n\n\nWhen the distance between your car and the obstacle is too close.\n\n\nWhen driving against intense light such as strong sunlight or high beams from oncoming vehicles.\n\n\nWhen visibility is poor due to bad weather such as heavy rain and fog.\n\n\nWhen an insufficient amount of the obstacle\u2019s surface area overlaps with the stereo camera\u2019s/radar\u2019s field of view, such as if it\u2019s not directly in front of your car.\n\n\nWhen driving in dark or dim conditions such as at night or in a tunnel.\n\n\nWhen driving on a bumpy, uneven, or slippery surface.\n\n\nWhen the obstacle is too small, low, or irregularly shaped, such as a platform trailer or traffic cone.\n\n\nWhen the obstacle suddenly appears in front of your car, like when another vehicle suddenly cuts in front of you.\n\n\nWhen the stereo camera/radar is obstructed by dirt.\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nTop Car Safety Features Invented by Women That May Have Saved Your Life\n\n\nHave Peace of Mind with CARSOME\n\n\nSafe driving practices is key to avoiding a rear-end collision on the road but a car that\u2019s in good condition can still help you stop and react more quickly when you need to.

Besides increasing the possibility of \nfloods\n, regular downpours reduce visibility on the road and cause your car to be caked with dirt or mud.\u00a0\n\n\nOne thing you can do to make it easier to drive and care for your car in the rainy season is to use a car rain-repellent coating. This hydrophobic coating ranges in price and performance and is supposed to keep water from sticking to your car.\u00a0\n\n\nSo should you use car rain-repellent coatings? Let\u2019s find out.\n\n\nHow Does a Rain-Repellent Car Coating Work?\n\n\nA rain-repellent coating is a solution that you apply to your car windows or body panels to protect the surface from rain and dirt. Once applied properly, it will adhere to the surface and create a hydrophobic or water-resistant barrier on the surface which prevents water and other residues from sticking to your car\u2019s surface.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you\u2019ve seen water droplets forming beads on a windshield and just rolling off, that is the work of a rain-repellent coating.\u00a0\n\n\nThis microscopic layer can be made of different materials such as silicone polymers, ceramic, and glass. And while they all function in a similar way, each material has different functions, cost, and durability. A rain-repellent coating can last anywhere from a few weeks up to over a year depending on its formula and how often you subject your car to the rain.\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nFive DIY Tips to Increase Your Car\u2019s Value\n\n\nAdvantages of Using Rain-Repellent Coatings\n\n\nUsing a rain-repellent coating can give you multiple benefits, especially in the rainy season. Here are some of them.\n\n\n1. Improves Visibility in the Rain\n\n\nHaving a water-repellent coating on your windshield will prevent water from pooling and obscuring your vision in the rain, ultimately preventing an accident while driving. Any decent coating should work both in slow traffic and at highway speeds so you should be able to drive with good visibility in all conditions except the heaviest of downpours.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Keeps Surfaces Looking Cleaner for Longer\n\n\nAs it adds a hydrophobic layer of protection to your car, a coating can keep dirt and water stains from sticking to your car, which we can often see during rainy seasons. And if there are water stains on your windshield, you can often easily rinse them off thanks to the hydrophobic layer underneath. There are rain-repellent coatings available for both glass and body panels so make sure you use the correct one to provide the proper protection to your car.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More:\n \nCARSOME Certified 101\n\n\n3. Prolongs the Life of Your Wipers\n\n\nSince you will need to use your windshield wipers less if you have a coating on your windshield, your wipers will be subjected to less wear and tear. And when you do use them, they\u2019ll face less friction on the windshield leading to \nlonger-lasting wipers\n.\n\n\n4. Protects Surfaces from Damage\n\n\nWhile most rain-repellent coatings aren\u2019t designed to protect your car\u2019s surfaces from scratches and other damages, they can still protect your car. The thin layer that the coatings form can prevent dirt and dust from sticking to your car and also give some protection against chemicals and oils on the road.\u00a0\n\n\nThe dirty water from the road splashing onto your car when you drive in the rain can contain mud, oils, and chemicals that can stick to your paint and windows. Most coatings can prevent these impurities from sticking to your car, including to your windshields.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nHow to Choose the Right Car Window Tint\n\n\n\n\nTypes of Hydrophobic Car Coatings\n\n\nBasic Coatings for Windows\n\n\nThere\u2019s no shortage of water-repellent coatings for car windows on the market. These products are mostly designed to protect glass windows and your side mirrors against water, dirt, oil, and some chemicals, and function to keep your windows clean. However, you can find professionally applied window coatings at car detailing shops that are more durable and scratch-resistant.\n\n\nSince rain-repellent window coatings come at various price points, you should note that their performance can vary widely according to the brand and price of the product. Most off-the-shelf window coatings generally last up to two months but you can find products such as the Gtechniq G1 that claims to last up to two years.\u00a0\n\n\nPopular brands of window coatings in Malaysia include Rain-X, Waxco, Glaco, and Gtechniq. Applying these coatings on your windows usually only takes a few minutes, and it\u2019s as easy as following the instructions on the bottle.\n\n\nGlass Coating\n\n\nA glass coating is made of silicon dioxide. It\u2019s usually applied to the whole car to protect the paint from damage. A glass coating has excellent durability as well as UV (ultraviolet) and chemical resistance. It\u2019s also more resistant to water spots so you\u2019re less likely to have a patchy paint job on your car.\u00a0\n\n\nGlass coatings contain a resin that glues the coating to your car paint. While it gives durability and extra thickness to the coating, this resin is less resistant against extremely acidic or alkaline cleaners, so keep that in mind if you decide to choose a glass coating. It also has a slightly matte finish.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nFive Easy Steps to Protect Your Car\u2019s Windshield\n\n\nCeramic Coating\n\n\nA ceramic coating contains silicon carbide and offers similar protection to a glass coating. Ceramic has better hydrophobic properties and a shinier finish, though it\u2019s slightly less resistant to UV rays and chemicals. Compared to glass, a ceramic coating doesn\u2019t need a resin to adhere\u00a0 to the paint, and is, therefore, more resistant to acidic and alkaline cleaners. Ceramic coatings are often slightly cheaper than glass coatings.\u00a0\n\n\nIs Professional Car Detailing Better than Off-The-Shelf Products?\n\n\nThe short answer is, yes \u2013 the professional coating you get at a car detailing shop provides better overall protection for your car. Not only does it repel water but it also provides additional physical, chemical, and UV protection.\u00a0\n\n\nThat\u2019s not to say that off-the-shelf DIY rain-repellent coatings are not good. They\u2019re mostly designed to be water-repellent and do a good job for the price. As long as you apply the coating regularly, you\u2019ll be able to keep your windows and paint job clean from blemishes.\n\n\nCoatings may keep your windshield and paint job clean but a good refurbishment can really make a car sparkle,\u00a0 and that\u2019s what you get with a \nCARSOME\n pre-owned car. With our professional refurbishment, you can rest assured that every CARSOME Certified car has excellent aesthetics besides being safe and comfortable.\u00a0\n\n\nVisit \nCARSOME\n to find your dream car or download our app from the \nGoogle Play Store\n or \nApple App Store\n today!\n\n", "Tags\nRain", "Devan S\nDevan believes written content is here to stay despite our depleting attention span and the rise of short videos.

During the challenge, Ho-Pin Tung fully utilized its advanced 296 hp Ingenium petrol and 114 hp electric motor to hike up the road section of the challenge. The performance SUV then showed its all-terrain credentials by climbing the steep staircase to the natural rock arch.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPreviously, the PHEV model made its debut racing against two-time open-water swimming world champion Keri-anne Payne and endurance athlete Ross Edgley in Devon, UK. Among those impressive exploits include a 2,170m descent of the legendary Inferno downhill course in M\u0171rren, Switzerland, a record-setting hill-climb at Pikes Peak, USA and even crossing the \u2018Empty Quarter\u2019 desert in the Arabian Peninsula.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nJust weeks ago, the BMW M5 drifted hours and hours into the record books!

To clear your doubts and help you make your decision for a better drive \nbalik kampung\n, here are some pointers. \n\n\nList Down Your Lifestyle Needs\n\n\nChoosing a car should not be done on a whim as you\u2019ll probably end up driving the same car for several years. So, take into account your current lifestyle and future goals. To make it easier for you, jot down your answers to the following questions.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHow long do you intend to drive this car?\u00a0\n\n\nDo you often go on long-distance drives?\u00a0\n\n\nWhat is your monthly average mileage and what kind of traffic condition do you usually drive in?\n\n\nWhat is the maximum number of people that you need to fit in your car?\n\n\nAre you planning to have a family in the next few years? If so, how many kids?\u00a0\n\n\nWhat are the safety features that your car must have?\u00a0\n\n\nWhat is the maximum amount of items that you need to fit in your car\u2019s boot?\n\n\n\n\nBy doing this, you can narrow down your search by understanding your exact needs for a car. For example, if you are planning to have kids in three years and intend to drive this car for six years, you may want a larger car from the get-go such as a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) \u00a0or a sports utility vehicle (SUV) to fit your family journeys.\u00a0\n\n\nLet\u2019s Budget It Out\n\n\nLet\u2019s talk money \u2013 cars can take up a huge chunk of finances so you\u2019ll need to break down your budget. Here are some quick pointers when setting your budget.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdd it into your monthly budget:\n A majority of car buyers will opt for a car loan because of the hefty price tag, which means the loan repayment amount will be added to your monthly financial commitments. So, list down your monthly commitments including your utility bills, general necessities or fees, as well as other loans you may have, and outline if you can sustain the cost.\u00a0\n\n\nThe 50/30/20 budget method: \nWhen it comes to your personal finances, the 50/30/20 budget method is a good rule to follow. This method basically rounds up your needs (which include car payments, utilities, loans) as 50 percent of your monthly income, while 30 percent should be your wants (shopping, dining) and 20 percent goes into your savings.\u00a0\n\n\nAffording the down payment:\n Another factor is the 10 percent down payment you need to pay upfront for the car. If you are trading in your car for a new one, you can offset the overall car costs and also use that cash to pay for the down payment.\n\n\nYour car loan term:\n When it comes to car loans, you can stretch it up to nine years in Malaysia. However, a longer car loan term means higher interest and your car will depreciate over time so you may be paying more than your car\u2019s worth. So, if you can sustain a shorter loan term, go for it. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFind a Car Type That Suits You\n\n\nNow that you have your lifestyle needs listed out and your budget, it\u2019s time to choose a car type before you look into car brands. These are the common four types to choose from.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMPV\n: MPVs are an extremely popular choice for families in Malaysia because of their larger build and spacious interiors. It allows for plenty of storage space, whether in the boot or even under the seats. But with space comes a larger and boxy car build that you\u2019ll need to think about when you take on those corners. Popular MPVs in Malaysia include the \nNissan Grand Livina\n and \nPerodua Alza\n.\u00a0\n\n\nSport Utility Vehicle (SUV)\n: An SUV is also known for its space and there are seven-seater models. However, the main differentiator between an SUV and an MPV is that SUVs are built better for outdoor terrains such as rocky routes or off-road adventures because of their four-wheel drive capabilities. Popular SUVs in Malaysia include the \nHonda BR-V\n and \nProton X70\n.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSedan\n: Also known as a saloon car, a sedan is one of the most common car models that you\u2019ll see on the road. It is popular for its compact build which typically features two rows of seats that can fit up to five people (including the driver). Sedans also have great fuel economy, as well as relatively good driving performance, safety, and handling features. Additionally, sedans are compact vehicles that can maneuver corners, turns, and parking spaces better than larger car models. However, the boot space is something to consider as it is usually a small space in between the wheelbase \u2013 this, of course, depends on the car model. Some sedans may carry great boot space for small families. Popular sedans in Malaysia include \nHonda City\n and \nPerodua Bezza\n.\n\n\nHatchback\n: A hatchback can vary depending on what you\u2019re comparing it to. At times, it can be larger than a sedan. The key difference is that the body build slopes downwards in the front and the back area is lifted for storage space. However, the passenger seats in some models may be relatively small, especially for families with more than two children. Nevertheless, hatchbacks are great as first cars, city cars, and even executive cars. Popular hatchbacks in Malaysia include the \nHonda Jazz\n and \nPerodua MyVi\n.\n\n\n\n\nBuy a Carsome Certified Car & Enjoy More Savings with Carsome Berkat Aidilfitri\n\n\nIf you have been contemplating upgrading your current car, or buying a car in general, consider buying Carsome Certified cars.

Thankfully this has worked, and it is seen in the company\u2019s current \nXC90\n, \nS90\n, \nXC60\n and upcoming \nS60\n \u2013 all of which feature new class-leading technologies that highlight Volvo\u2019s commitment to safety.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWith this we have a host of connectivity, powertrain as well as safety and semi-autonomous drive features that puts Volvo\u2019s new cars at the forefront. But is this the car for you? We recognise the stigma behind Estate and Wagon body vehicles in Malaysia, but with strong points that come with the V90, we will attempt to squash that mindset that surround vehicles like these.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIt\u2019s An Estate With Heritage\n\n\n\n\nMost carmakers provide an Estate option for their vehicles in Europe because it is rather popular within the region. But few companies can claim the same heritage as Volvo Cars when it comes to the design and manufacture of family estates. From the first loved Volvo \nDuett\n in the 1950s, to the \nAmazon\n that followed and the \n145\n that solidified the Volvo estate characteristics, the brand has over 60 years of estate heritage the world over.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIt Looks Better Than The Sedan\n\n\n\n\nWe know this one is subjective. And trust us when we say that we\u2019ve accounted for the stigma and mindset that comes with driving an Estate that is commonly regarded as \u201chearse vehicles\u201d \u2013 which has to stop. With such beautiful lines and perfect proportions, we had such a great time admiring the sheer shape of the V90. We dare say that the V90 is the best looking Estate on sale in Malaysia, period.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nScandinavian Minimalist\n\n\n\n\nThere is a difference between Scandinavian design and Minimalist design. While the former is one that refers to the use of natural material and minimalist shapes that is usually the purposeful use in Scandinavian countries, Minimalist design refers very much to the use of industrial materials in forms that flow and emphasis on simplicity and function by design. Here Volvo has merged both for their new range of vehicles.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHaving spoken to \nVolvo Cars\u2019 VP of Design Jonathan Disley on the S90\n, he mentions that it boils down to the way materials are used that stays honest to its nature. The material itself has to look correct and have a balance. \u201cIf you make a material too flat, it doesn\u2019t look strong. If you make it look big, it looks too heavy.\u201d A look into the new V90\u2019s interior and you have an idea what Volvo has produced.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIt Is Ridiculously Practical\n\n\n\n\nThe reason why Estates are popular in Europe is because they\u2019re convenient. How so? Estates are essentially sedans with a hatchback for easy unloading. The rear end is usually flat that makes it easier for storage. Cars with boot lids require lifting the cargo into the boot. What else is convenient? Integrated booster seats for children at the rear passenger seats, intuitive smartphone-like infotainment system with a vast list of options as well as voice and steering wheel controls to match the digital driving display.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe T5 Variant Has More Than Enough Power\n\n\n\n\nLocally, variant options for the V90 are the T5 Momentum or T6 R-Design. What are the differences between the T5 and T6? Apart from the looks and accessories, there\u2019s the addition of a supercharger in the T6. However, the standard T5\u2019s output is still plenty powerful at 254 hp and 350 Nm of torque from 1,500 to 4,800 rpm. How powerful? Let\u2019s just say that there\u2019s more than enough power on this thing to run the Autobahn in time for dinner. On paper, the T5 produces even more than on the Mercedes E 300, albeit acceleration times of course. Imagine what the T8 could do.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nVerdict\n\n\n\n\nWe like the V90. After just spending a few days with it, it has grown on us so much with its practicality, good looks (how it looks different) and Swede style that we think there\u2019s a great alternative to the German three. With a pledge that in 2020, no one will be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo as well as a commitment to electrify all-vehicles from 2019, you know they\u2019re looking forward into the future.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe all-new XC60 is finally here. \nClick here\n to keep up to speed on the launch.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCarsome Je-lah!

Here\u2019s What You Need to Know", "By\n \nDevan S", "10/03/2023", "\n\n\n\n\n", "When it comes to buying a car in Malaysia, especially luxury cars, you\u2019ll hear the term recon cars or reconditioned cars fairly often. In fact, recon cars such as the Toyota Alphard, \nToyota Harrier\n, and \nMercedes-Benz GLA250\n are well sought after by Malaysian buyers as they can be over RM50,000 cheaper than an official brand-new unit sold by local authorized dealers.\n\n\nIf you\u2019ve been considering buying a recon car in Malaysia but aren\u2019t sure if it\u2019s right for you, we\u2019ve got the details you need.\n\n\n\n\nWhat Is a Recon Car\n\n\nHowever you spell it, a recond or recon car is a used car imported from countries such as Japan and the United Kingdom and sold by recon or used car dealers. These are often luxury or performance cars as they tend to be harder to find in Malaysia. Dealers usually acquire these cars from overseas suppliers or in auctions in the original country and refurbish them to fix any issues they have and ensure they comply with local laws.\n\n\nBeing used cars, recon cars are significantly cheaper than their brand-new counterparts. And while choosing a recon car allows you to save a good amount of money, do note that its mechanical components, user interface, and features are designed for its original market. That means if you buy a reconditioned \nToyota Harrier\n from Japan, expect the infotainment system\u2019s interface to be in Japanese instead of English.\n\n\nHow to Check a Recon Car\u2019s Condition\n\n\nAny recon car imported into Malaysia would have gone through an inspection in its home country and another inspection by the recon car dealer that you purchase it from. If possible, request an inspection report to find out its mileage and if there is significant damage to the car. Otherwise, you can purchase a report from providers such as \nscrut.my\n or \nrecond.my\n by providing them with the VIN (vehicle identification number) of the car.\n\n\nWhile a reputable dealer would only sell you a car that\u2019s of good quality, some unscrupulous dealers could roll back the odometer or pass off a car that\u2019s been damaged in an accident as an undamaged car.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat to Inspect on a Recon Car\n\n\nIt\u2019s hard to determine if the mileage displayed on a recon car is accurate. However, seeing as the overall condition of a car often correlates to its mileage, you can check if the mileage has been tampered with by inspecting other components. Pay more attention to the thickness of the brake disc and the condition of the tires. If the \nbrake discs\n aren\u2019t as thick as you expect them to be or if the \ntires\n are more worn down than the displayed mileage would suggest, then the mileage could have been rolled back.\n\n\nAlso, inspect the overall condition of the exterior and interior of the vehicle. If the condition is not as you expect, especially on a low-mileage car, then it\u2019s worth looking at the car in more detail.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat\u2019s the Loan Interest Rate for Recon Cars in Malaysia?\n\n\nRecon cars in Malaysia are sold either as unregistered or registered cars. An unregistered car is imported into Malaysia and is listed by a dealer without registering it at JPJ. Therefore, it\u2019s considered brand-new, so the purchasing process and loan interest rates for it is the same as a new car. This also means it would have a lower interest rate than a loan for used cars.\u00a0\n\n\nA registered car, however, is usually a used recon car that has had a Malaysian owner and has been registered, so it\u2019s considered a used car. That means you\u2019d need to pay a slightly higher interest rate which is typically more than three percent.\n\n\nMore Recon Car Tips\n\n\nBuying a recon car poses certain risks compared to buying a used car that was officially sold in Malaysia. Here are more things you should know about recon cars.\u00a0\n\n\nDo Recon Cars Come with a Warranty?\n\n\nRecon cars typically don\u2019t come with a warranty as opposed to some used cars sold here that still carry a principal warranty from the manufacturer. That said, some recon car dealers do provide their own warranty on the cars. Otherwise, you\u2019ll have to purchase a warranty package from third-party warranty providers.\n\n\nOn the other hand, reputable used car platforms like CARSOME provide a one-year comprehensive warranty on all \nCARSOME Certified cars\n for extra peace of mind.\n\n\nIs There an After-Sales Service for Recon Cars?\n\n\nThe after-sales service for a recon car really depends on the dealer selling the car. Some dealers may only provide you support for up to a week or a month, while others may provide longer-term support such as servicing or warranty claims. That\u2019s why whether you buy an imported recon car or a local used car, choosing the right dealer is essential.\n\n\n\n\nHow to Choose the Right Recon Car\n\n\nOther than having an interface in Japanese, a recon car can carry more risk especially if you buy from unscrupulous dealers. Here are tips to ensure you buy a quality recon car:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nFirst, find the right dealer. The best way to do this is by reading reviews and finding out about a certain dealer through word-of-mouth.\u00a0\n\n\nDon\u2019t be enticed by recon cars that are supposedly accident-free and low mileage, but sold for very cheap. If you think the car is a steal, it\u2019s probably too good to be true.\n\n\nWhile an inspection report is helpful in telling you about the initial condition of the car, you should still thoroughly inspect the car yourself. If possible, bring along someone who knows what to look for, such as a mechanic. However, if you don\u2019t have a mechanic friend, check out these \ncar inspection tips shared by our CARSOME inspectors\n.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nA recon car can help you save money over buying a new car and gives you the opportunity to own exotic and luxury cars that you just can\u2019t otherwise. However, choosing the wrong recon car could mean major headaches and a big blow to your wallet. That\u2019s why you should be as thorough as possible in researching and inspecting a car before putting down your hard-earned money on it.\n\n\nThis article is adapted from the video \u201cRecon Car 101: Everything You Need To Know About Recon Cars\u201d published by Carlist.my.\n\n", "Devan S\nDevan believes written content is here to stay despite our depleting attention span and the rise of short videos.

Kebiasaannya, pembiayaan semula pinjaman seperti \nrefinance\n kereta dilakukan bertujuan untuk mengurangkan beban kewangan sedia ada dan memanfaatkan tawaran kadar faedah yang lebih rendah berbanding \npinjaman\n sebelum ini lebih-lebih lagi jika aliran kewangan individu terganggu disebabkan oleh situasi ekonomi semasa seperti hilang punca pendapatan, pemotongan gaji dan sebagainya.\n\n\nApa Itu Pembiayaan Semula Pinjaman Kenderaan atau \nRefinance\n Kereta?\n\n\nPembiayaan semula pinjaman atau \nrefinance loan\n kereta merujuk kepada urusan permohonan pinjaman baharu daripada pihak bank atau institusi kewangan untuk menjelaskan baki pinjaman kereta sedia ada. Secara amnya, pembiayaan semula dilakukan bertujuan untuk mengurangkan amaun bayaran ansuran setiap bulan, menjimatkan perbelanjaan dan memperbaiki aliran tunai semasa. Ini kerana, pembiayaan semula biasanya menawarkan kadar faedah yang lebih rendah dengan tempoh masa pembayaran yang lebih lama.\n\n\n\n\nMengapa \nRefinance\n Kereta Perlu Dilakukan?\n\n\nKeputusan untuk melakukan pembiayaan atau penstrukturan semula pinjaman semestinya bergantung pada keperluan individu dengan menilai aspek-aspek lain seperti kedudukan kewangan semasa, tujuan pembiayaan dilakukan dan faktor-faktor lain yang dirasakan perlu. Anda mungkin boleh mempertimbangkan perkara-perkara berikut sebelum mengambil keputusan untuk melakukan pembiayaan semula pinjaman kereta anda:\n\n\n1. Kadar Faedah Pinjaman Menurun\n\n\nLazimnya, turun naik kadar faedah pinjaman bergantung sepenuhnya pada situasi ekonomi semasa. Perubahan atau penurunan kadar faedah pinjaman meskipun hanya sekitar 2 hingga 3 peratus memberi kesan penjimatan yang lebih besar terhadap pinjaman anda. Contohnya, jika jumlah pinjaman asal anda adalah sebanyak RM103,337.50, dengan mengambil kira kadar faedah sebanyak 7 peratus dengan jangka masa pinjaman 60 bulan \u2013 anda perlu membayar jumlah keseluruhan pinjaman kira-kira RM122,773.22.\n\n\nSelepas setahun, baki pinjaman semasa anda adalah sekitar RM86,803.50. Namun begitu, jika anda mengambil keputusan untuk melakukan pembiayaan semula atau \nrefinancing\n, anda boleh mendapatkan pinjaman baharu (berdasarkan baki semasa) dengan kadar faedah yang lebih rendah dan kompetitif dengan tempoh pembayaran yang lebih pendek. Ini bermaksud, anda akan membayar hutang pembiayaan semula baharu dengan harga bulanan yang lebih rendah sekali gus lebih menjimatkan berbanding kadar pinjaman asal.\n\n\n2. Situasi Kewangan Semasa Bertambah Baik\n\n\nPihak institusi kewangan biasanya mengambil kira beberapa faktor lain sebelum menentukan kelayakan anda untuk mendapatkan pinjaman. Biasanya, kadar pinjaman ditentukan oleh faktor-faktor seperti skor kredit bagi tempoh 12 bulan terkini dan nisbah debt-to-income (DTI). Nisbah DTI biasanya dikira dengan membahagikan jumlah pendapatan bulanan dengan komitmen bulanan sedia ada anda.\n\n\nDalam erti kata lain, situasi kewangan semasa yang baik boleh membantu anda mendapatkan pembiayaan semula pada kadar yang lebih kompetitif berbanding sebelum ini. Tahap kesihatan kredit yang baik serta nisbah DTI yang rendah boleh melayakkan anda mendapatkan pembiayaan semula dengan lebih mudah.\n\n\n3. Terima Tawaran Pinjaman yang Lebih Baik\n\n\nJika anda menerima tawaran pembiayaan yang lebih baik berbanding pinjaman sedia ada, anda mungkin boleh mempertimbangkan untuk melakukan pembiayaan semula pinjaman kenderaan ini. Walaupun turun naik kadar faedah atau keadaan kewangan semasa tidak meningkat dengan ketara, tawaran pinjaman dengan kadar faedah yang lebih rendah dapat menjimatkan dan mengurangkan komitmen bulanan anda.\n\n\n4. Hadapi Masalah Kewangan, Pembayaran Balik Bermasalah\n\n\nSekiranya anda menghadapi masalah kewangan yang mengganggu jadual pembayaran balik anda, anda mungkin boleh pertimbangkan untuk mendapatkan pembiayaan semula pinjaman dengan kadar faedah yang lebih rendah. Jika tidak, anda juga boleh mempertimbangkan pinjaman dengan tempoh masa pembayaran yang lebih lama untuk mengurangkan amaun pembayaran bulanan anda.\n\n\nSelain itu, anda juga mungkin boleh berunding dengan pihak institusi kewangan untuk melanjutkan tempoh pembayaran anda. Namun begitu, tempoh pembayaran yang lebih lama bermaksud anda terikat dengan kadar faedah yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nWajarkah Anda Keluarkan i-Sinar KWSP? \u2013 Kebaikan dan Keburukan\n\n\n\n\nCara \nRefinance\n Pinjaman Kereta Anda\n\n\nPembiayaan semula pinjaman biasanya boleh dilakukan dalam beberapa senario tertentu. Selain dapat menurunkan kadar faedah dan mengurangkan amaun pembayaran ansuran bulanan, anda juga boleh memilih sama ada ingin memendekkan atau memanjangkan tempoh masa pembayaran balik pinjaman. Carsome menyediakan cara untuk \nrefinance\n pinjaman kereta anda seperti berikut untuk memudahkan anda:\n\n\n1. Sediakan Dokumen Diperlukan\n\n\nSekiranya anda memutuskan bahawa membiayai semula pinjaman anda adalah pilihan yang tepat untuk anda, sediakan dokumen yang diperlukan oleh pihak institusi kewangan seperti berikut untuk melancarkan urusan permohonan anda:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaklumat peribadi seperti kad pengenalan dan lesen memandu anda;\n\n\nPerakuan pendapatan seperti slip gaji, surat pengesahan pekerjaan (\nproof of employment\n) atau borang penyata cukai pendapatan;\n\n\nMaklumat pendaftaran kereta seperti geran, insurans, nombor VIN, dan jarak perbatuan (\nmileage\n);\n\n\nButiran pinjaman sedia ada \u2013 jumlah bayaran bulanan dan baki semasa, tempoh bayaran, kadar faedah pinjaman sedia ada.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Periksa Skor Kredit\n\n\nAntara salah satu syarat untuk mendapatkan kadar faedah yang terbaik ialah anda perlu memiliki skor kredit yang baik. Periksa laporan kredit anda sebelum melakukan permohonan pembiayaan semula anda. Anda boleh memeriksa skor kredit anda dengan merujuk Bank Negara Malaysia, Agensi Kaunseling dan Pengurusan Kredit serta agensi-agensi lain yang berkaitan secara percuma.\n\n\nSekiranya anda mempunyai rekod pembayaran balik yang baik dan telah membuat semua pembayaran pinjaman sedia ada mengikut jadual selama satu tahun atau lebih, skor kredit anda mungkin berada dalam keadaan baik sekali gus memudahkan urusan pembiayaan semula diluluskan.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nCara Daftar, Semak Status Laporan CCRIS dan CTOS Secara Online Percuma\n\n\n3. Lakukan Permohonan\n\n\nSelain itu, anda juga disarankan untuk memohon pembiayaan semula daripada beberapa institusi kewangan supaya anda boleh membandingkan kadar faedah dan kelebihan yang ditawarkan sekali gus membantu anda mendapatkan pembiayaan baharu dengan kadar faedah yang lebih rendah dan kompetitif. Namun begitu, anda disarankan untuk mengemukakan kesemua permohonan pembiayaan semula pinjaman anda dalam tempoh yang sama (14 hari). Ini kerana, pertanyaan serupa dalam tempoh masa yang sama biasanya dikelompokkan dan dianggap sebagai satu permohonan sekali gus mengurangkan impak pada skor kredit anda.\n\n\n4. Anggarkan Nilai Semasa Kenderaan\n\n\nSecara amnya, susut nilai kereta turut memainkan peranan dalam menentukan status permohonan anda sama ada diluluskan atau tidak berjaya. Kebiasaannya, ramai dalam kalangan pemilik kenderaan mendapati nilai semasa kereta adalah lebih rendah berbanding baki semasa hutang pinjaman. Jika situasi sebegini berlaku, besar kemungkinan permohonan pembiayaan semula anda akan ditolak.\n\n\nUntuk memudahkan urusan, anda boleh menganggarkan kedudukan semasa atau nilai pasaran wajar kereta anda dengan menggunakan kalukalator pembiayaan semula yang tersedia secara \nonline\n. Jika nilai semasa kereta lebih tinggi daripada baki hutang sedia ada, pembiayaan semula pinjaman mungkin keputusan yang sesuai untuk anda.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nSusut Nilai Kereta \u2013 Berapa Anggaran Nilai Semasa Kereta Anda?\n\n\n5. Mengenal Pasti Tempoh Pinjaman\n\n\nSelain perkara-perkara yang dinyatakan di atas, anda juga boleh mempertimbangkan aspek-aspek berikut sekiranya anda mengambil keputusan untuk melakukan \nrefinance\n pinjaman kereta anda:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTempoh pinjaman lebih singkat \u2013 Jika anda sudah terbiasa dengan amaun bayaran tertentu, anda boleh mengekalkan amaun yang sama untuk menjelaskan baki hutang anda sekali gus menjadikan tempoh bayaran balik pinjaman yang lebih pendek. Selain itu, cara ini juga boleh menjimatkan wang anda kerana anda terikat dengan kadar faedah bank yang lebih rendah.\n\n\nTempoh pinjaman yang lebih lama \u2013 Jika anda mempunyai bajet yang terhad, dan pembiayaan semula ini dilakukan untuk memberi ruang untuk anda \u2018bernafas\u2019, anda boleh memanjangkan tempoh pinjaman untuk mengurangkan bayaran ansuran bulanan anda. Meskipun cara ini akan menyebabkan anda terikat dengan kadar faedah yang lebih tinggi untuk jangka masa panjang, cara ini adalah lebih baik daripada merosakkan sejarah pembayaran dan skor kredit anda.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Lengkapkan Proses\n\n\nIsi segala dokumen yang diperlukan dan lengkapkan permohonan dengan institusi kewangan yang dipilih, kemudian serahkan segala dokumen untuk proses selanjutnya. Setelah permohonan \nrefinance\n kereta selesai, anda secara amnya terikat dengan dokumen pinjaman dan kadar faedah baharu dengan tempoh masa tertentu berdasarkan pilihan anda. Institusi kewangan yang dipilih akan menjelaskan baki pinjaman lama bagi pihak anda dan anda akan melakukan pembayaran pinjaman baharu dengan kadar yang lebih rendah.\n\n\n\n\nPembiayaan semula kereta memang tidak dinafikan dapat menjimatkan wang anda. Namun begitu, penjimatan wang tidak semestinya bermaksud ia merupakan pilihan yang terbaik untuk dilakukan. Anda disarankan untuk menangguh permohonan pembiayaan semula jika senario sebegini berlaku kepada anda:\n\n\n\n\nAnda telah melunaskan sebahagian besar jumlah pinjaman kereta anda. Ini bermaksud, pinjaman baharu akan menyebabkan anda terikat dengan kadar faedah baharu yang mungkin merugikan anda. Buat pertimbangan sewajarnya.\n\n\nKereta anda sudah usang atau mempunyai jarak perbatuan/\nmileage\n yang tinggi. Lazimnya, kereta susut nilai dengan lebih cepat berbanding aset-aset lain. Oleh itu, kebanyakan penyedia perkhidmatan kewangan tidak menawarkan pembiayaan semula sekiranya kereta telah melepasi had perbatuan tertentu atau berusia lebih daripada tujuh tahun.\n\n\nDalam sesetengah kes, pembiayaan semula ini boleh menyebabkan anda perlu membayar faedah tambahan selain prinsipal sedia ada. Selain itu, anda juga mungkin dikenakan yuran pembiayaan semula. Lakukan pengiraan sebelum melakukan permohonan pembiayaan semula untuk mengelakkan kerugian di pihak anda.\n\n\nSelain itu, anda juga perlu menangguhkan permohonan pembiayaan semula sekiranya anda berhasrat untuk memohon lebih banyak permohonan kredit pada masa akan datang. Pembiayaan semula boleh memberi kesan negatif kepada kedudukan kredit anda dan menjejaskan skor kredit semasa anda.\n\n\n\n\nKebaikan dan Keburukan \nRefinancing\n\n\nPembiayaan semula secara amnya membantu menjimatkan wang anda bergantung pada situasi kewangan semasa anda. Jika kadar faedah yang ditawarkan lebih rendah atau situasi kewangan semasa anda telah bertambah baik, anda disarankan untuk mendapatkan pinjaman dengan kadar faedah yang lebih baik. Carsome menyenaraikan kebaikan dan keburukan \nrefinance\n pinjaman kereta untuk panduan anda seperti berikut:\n\n\nKelebihan Pembiayaan Semula\n\n\n1. Mengurangkan faedah pinjaman\n\n\nKadar tetap dan kadar boleh ubah \npinjaman sewa beli\n merupakan antara istilah biasa yang ditemui sekiranya anda ingin membeli kenderaan melalui pinjaman bank.

Mengurangkan komitmen kewangan bulanan\n\n\nPelan pembiayaan semula pinjaman ini memberi manfaat tambahan terutamanya kepada individu dengan komitmen kewangan bulanan yang tinggi. Pembiayaan semula kewangan akan menyebabkan tempoh pembayaran menjadi lebih panjang dengan amaun ansuran bulanan yang lebih kecil.\n\n\n3. Pakej pembiayaan yang sesuai mengikut kemampuan\n\n\nSecara amnya, pembiayaan semula memberikan pilihan kepada peminjam untuk memilih pakej pembiayaan yang sesuai mengikut kedudukan kewangan individu dan keadaan pasaran ekonomi semasa. Peminjam biasanya tertakluk pada kadar faedah yang tetap sepanjang tempoh pinjaman sekiranya memilih kadar faedah tetap. Namun begitu, jika peminjam memilih kadar faedah boleh ubah, kadar faedah yang dikenakan adalah tertakluk pada perubahan ekonomi semasa.\n\n\n\n\nKeburukan Pembiayaan Semula\n\n\n1. Meningkatkan bebanan hutang\n\n\nPilihan pembiayaan semula pinjaman ini merupakan satu alternatif yang tepat untuk menambah baik aliran tunai terutamanya buat individu yang berhadapan dengan masalah kewangan. Tempoh pembiayaan yang dipanjangkan secara tidak langsung menjadikan amaun ansuran bulanan yang lebih rendah. Namun begitu, sekiranya lebihan wang tidak digunakan dengan bijak, ia hanya akan menambah bebanan hutang sedia ada kerana peminjam perlu membayar jumlah keseluruhan faedah jangka masa panjang yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\n2. Menanggung kos liabiliti tambahan\n\n\nSelain itu, pembiayaan semula pinjaman terutamanya untuk kenderaan juga boleh dikatakan sangat berisiko. Selain perlu menanggung peningkatan kos \nharga petrol\n \ndan \nkadar tol\n, peminjam juga perlu berhadapan dengan liabiliti tambahan seperti kos penyelenggaraan kenderaan terutamanya selepas 3 hingga 5 tahun pemilikan. Ini kerana, kenderaan biasanya akan mula mengalami masalah selepas tempoh 4 hingga 5 tahun yang secara tidak langsung akan mempengaruhi aliran tunai pengguna.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nBilakah Masa Terbaik Untuk Beli Atau Jual Kereta Terpakai?\n\n\nSecara kesimpulannya, pembiayaan semula pinjaman kenderaan atau \nrefinance\n kereta mempunyai kelebihan dan kelemahan yang tersendiri. Namun begitu, ia merupakan suatu alternatif yang sesuai untuk pengguna jika aspek-aspek lain seperti kedudukan kewangan semasa, tujuan pembiayaan dipertimbangkan. Selain itu, lakukan tinjauan, perbandingan dan kaji keberkesanan pembiayaan semula ini kepada pengguna untuk tempoh jangka panjang.\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda sedang mempertimbangkan untuk \nmenjual kereta lama\n dan berminat untuk mendapatkan \nkereta terpakai baharu\n, layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

Hence, a lowered interest rate means you pay the bank less.\u00a0\n\n\nRefinancing a car loan usually involves two types of loans, namely vehicle loans or housing loans. Now, before you decide on whether this is for you, you will need to understand the minor details.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat does Car Loan Refinancing Mean?\n\n\n\n\nCar loan refinancing refers to the process of applying for a new loan from a bank or financial institution to settle the balance of an existing car loan. What this basically means is that you\u2019ll be applying for a new loan to pay off your remaining balance but with a lower interest rate, which means reduced monthly installments and less money out of your pockets. Refinancing also has longer repayment periods.\u00a0\n\n\nIs There a Need to Refinance Your Car?\n\n\nThe decision to refinance a car solely depends on your needs. You should consider financial factors such as your current financial status, the purpose of the refinance, your monthly cash flow, among others.\u00a0\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\nYou may also want to consider the following before deciding to refinance your car loan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDecreasing Loan Interest Rates\n\n\n\n\nTypically, fluctuations of interest rates depend entirely on the current economic situation. Even if the interest rate decreases between two and three percent, you would definitely save a lot on your loan. For example, if your original loan is RM103,337.50 with an interest rate of seven percent and a loan term of 60 months, the total loan amount you would be paying is RM122,773.22.\n\n\nAfter a year, your loan balance should be around RM86,803.50. If you decide to refinance, you can get a new loan (based on the current balance) with a lower interest rate and a shorter repayment period. This means you will pay off the new refinancing debt at a lower monthly amount, which saves you much more in the long run.\n\n\n\n\nCurrent Financial Status\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nFinancial institutions usually consider a number of other factors including your credit score for the past 12 months, and your debt-to-income ratio (DTI). The DTI ratio is usually calculated by dividing your total monthly income by your existing monthly commitment.\n\n\nIn other words, if you are currently financially stable, this can help you refinance your loan at a more competitive rate.\u00a0 Good credit health and a low DTI ratio, will allow you to secure a better refinancing loan as banks are much more confident in your repayment ability.\n\n\n\n\nDelay in Repayment\n\n\n\n\nIf you are undergoing financial problems that are interfering with your loan repayment schedule, you may want to consider getting a loan refinancing with a lower interest rate. If not, you can also consider refinancing your car loan with a longer repayment period to help you cope with your monthly installments. But do keep in mind that with a longer repayment period, comes higher interest rates.\n\n\n\n\nHow to Refinance Your Car Loan\n\n\nIf you are thinking about refinancing your car loan, here is what you will need to do.\u00a0\n\n\n1.Required Documents\n\n\n\n\nPersonal information such as your identity card and driver\u2019s license.\n\n\nProof of income such as payslips, proof of employment, or income tax return forms.\n\n\nCar registration information such as a grant, insurance, VIN number, and mileage.\n\n\nDetails of the existing loan \u2013 monthly installment, current balance, payment period, and interest rate of an existing loan.\n\n\n\n\n2.Check Your Credit Score\n\n\nCheck your credit score report before applying for loan refinancing you can check your credit score by getting it from Bank Negara Malaysia, Credit Counseling and Management Agency, or other relevant agencies for free.\n\n\nIf you have a good monthly repayment record and are diligent with making your payments on time for more than a year, you probably have great credit health. Hence, with that,\u00a0 your loan refinancing can be easily approved.\n\n\n3.Make an Application\n\n\nYou are also advised to apply for a refinancing loan from multiple banks or financial institutions so that you can compare their interest rates and advantages. However, make sure to submit all your loan refinancing applications within the 14-day period.\n\n\n4.Estimate the Current Value of the Car\n\n\nIn general, car depreciation also plays a role in determining the status of your application. Many car owners find that the current value of the car is lower than the current balance of the loan. If this happens, it may affect your refinancing application negatively as there is a possibility of rejection.\n\n\nTo make things easier, you can estimate the current value or the market value of your car by using a refinancing calculator available online. If the current value of the car is higher than the existing loan balance, you may then go ahead and apply for a refinance for your car loan.\n\n\n5.Identify the Loan Period\n\n\n\n\nShorter loan period \n\u2013 For a shorter loan repayment period, you can choose to keep paying that same amount as your previous loan to clear off your debt faster,\n\n\nLonger loan period\n \u2013 If you are cash-strapped with a limited budget, and your main reason for refinancing is done to reduce your financial burden, you can opt for a longer repayment period as this will lower your monthly installment. Of course, as we have mentioned, a longer repayment period means you\u2019ll be paying a higher interest rate.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n6.Submit Your Documents\n\n\nFill in all the required documents and complete the application from your chosen banks or financial institution and submit it. . When you have all your bank loan offers, choose one that matches your needs such as a lower interest rate or a longer repayment period \u2013 this all depends on you.\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0Once a car loan refinancing application is complete, you will be required to start paying your monthly installments according to the new refinance terms while the bank will settle the balance of your old loan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAdvantages and Disadvantages of Refinancing Your Car Loan\n\n\nAdvantages\n\n\n\n\nReduced interest rates \u2013 \nLower interest rates can decrease your monthly payment and the total interest you pay during your loan period. If your current loan\u2019s interest rate is higher than the rates you might qualify for, consider a refinance. Lowering your payment by even one or two percent can make a difference and save you money in the long run.\n\n\nReduce the weight of your financial commitments\n \u2013 This loan refinancing plan provides additional benefits especially to individuals with high monthly financial commitments. Since refinancing your car loan will help you clear off your existing loan with a lower interest, you can use the extra money for your other commitments.\n\n\nA financial commitment that fits you\n\u2013 In general, refinancing gives you the option to select the appropriate financing package according to your financial needs. You will be given a fixed interest rate throughout the term of the loan if you choose a fixed interest rate. However, if you choose a variable interest rate, the interest rate charged is subject to the country\u2019s current economic changes.\n\n\n\n\nDisadvantages\n\n\n\n\nIt could increase your overall debt\n \u2013 This loan refinancing option is a great alternative to improve cash flow especially for individuals facing financial difficulties. The extended financing period indirectly results in a lower monthly installment amount. However, a longer repayment period causes higher interest rates and that will result in you paying much more than you should.\u00a0\n\n\nIncur additional liability costs \u2013 \n\u00a0Loan refinancing especially for cars is very risky. Apart from having to bear the rising cost of \npetrol prices\n and toll rates, you also have to face additional liabilities such as maintenance costs especially after three to five years of ownership. This is because vehicles will usually start to experience problems after a period of four to five years which will indirectly affect your cash flow.\n\n\n\n\nSo, Should You Refinance Your Car Loan?\n\n\nRefinancing your car loan has both advantages and disadvantages. Nevertheless, it is an alternative that could resolve your financial burden or lessen your financial commitment.\u00a0\n\n\nHowever, whether you should be doing it, is up to you. Make sure you take into consideration your current financial status and the purpose of the refinance. Make sure to do your own research, compare the various bank loans, and study the refinancing terms before you make your final decision.\u00a0\n\n\nRead also\n: \nWhat is Your Car Market Value & its Depreciation Rate in Malaysia?\n\n\nFor any other used car services and news, do check Carsome out!

Dengan lebih daripada setengah juta unit terjual di seluruh negara, Perodua Axia generasi pertama merupakan antara kereta yang popular di Malaysia dan bagi Perodua juga.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWalaupun \nAxia D74A (Axia 2023)\n baharu jauh lebih baik berbanding model lama, ramai yang\u00a0 tak berpuas hati kerana harga jualannya yang agak mahal. Oleh itu, bagi mereka yang inginkan kereta terpakai dengan bajet yang kecil, anda mungkin boleh pertimbangkan Perodua Axia terpakai.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nUlasan Perodua Axia 1.0 AV 2023 Daripada Geng WapCar\n\n\nKetika artikel ini ditulis, CARSOME kini memiliki lebih 100 unit Axia generasi pertama untuk dijual dengan harga bermula daripada RM27,000.\u00a0\n\n\nAxia \u2013 Kecil-Kecil Cili Api\n\n\n\n\nDibuat untuk menggantikan Perodua Viva pada 2014, Perodua Axia generasi pertama merupakan kereta tahap permulaan yang begitu cepat menarik perhatian warga Malaysia. Berbanding model sebelum ini, Axia menawarkan ciri-ciri wajib ada bagi kebanyakan pembeli muda tetapi pada masa yang sama mampu dimiliki oleh rakyat Malaysia.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAda enam varian yang ditawarkan dengan hanya satu pilihan enjin iaitu 1.0 liter 1KR-DE 3 silinder yang menghasilkan 67 PS/90 Nm. Unit bukan DVVT digandingkan bersama transmisi manual lima kelajuan atau empat kelajuan bagi varian automatik.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKemudiannya pada tahun 2017, Perodua Axia ini dinaik taraf dengan penampilan yang lebih \nsporty\n seiring dengan pelancaran Perodua Bezza yang baharu. Axia versi \nfacelift \njuga diperkenalkan dengan enjin 1.0 liter yang diperbaharui dengan DVVT. Kuasa kereta ini meningkat kepada 68 Ps dan 91 Nm.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nDengan Bajet RM50K, Mana Lagi Berbaloi Untuk Anda Beli? \u2013 Perodua Axia AV 2023 Atau Myvi 1.3 G Dengan PSDA?\n\n\n\n\nPada tahun 2019, Perodua Axia ini mengalami naik taraf kedua dengan dilengkapi ciri keselamatan yang terkini iaitu ASA (\nAdvance Safety Assist\n) 2.0 pada varian tertinggi AV dan juga Kawalan Keseimbangan Kenderaan (VSC) pada kebanyakan varian.\u00a0\n\n\nBercakap tentang varian, naik taraf pada 2019 juga menyaksikan pengenalan varian terbaharu dalam barisan model Axia iaitu Axia Style. Varian dengan penampilan seperti \ncrossover\n.\u00a0\n\n\nNak Beli Varian Yang Mana?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJika anda nak memiliki Axia generasi pertama terpakai, kami cadangkan untuk dapatkan model pasca-2017 yang telah dinaik taraf berbanding model sebelum varian \nfacelift\n diperkenalkan. Selain daripada enjin DVVT yang lebih jimat minyak, model pasca-2017 juga dilengkapi dengan pelbagai ciri keselamatan dan ciri lain untuk kemudahan pengguna.\n\n\n\n\nUntuk itu, yang terbaik bagi varian pasca-2017 ialah Axia AV dengan AEB yang diperkenalkan pada 2019. Varian ini menawarkan ciri keselamatan terkini dengan ADAS sebagai standard. Varian kedua terbaik ialah Axia SE 2017 yang menawarkan dua beg udara, ABS, dan juga VSC.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nModel facelift 2017 telah membetulkan masalah yang ada pada kumpulan pertama Axia termasuklah butang untuk mematikan pengesan parkir, \nsmart entry\n, dan juga pemegang pembuka pada pintu but berbanding keperluan untuk membuka but dari dalam kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nMasalah Yang Ada Pada Axia\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Axia tak banyak ragam sama seperti kebanyakan model Perodua yang lain. Model baharunya dijual dengan harga berpatutan dan kos penyelenggaraan juga tak mahal.\u00a0\n\n\nWalau bagaimanapun, masalah yang sering terjadi ialah pendakap enjin yang perlu ditukar selepas kira-kira 100,000km pemanduan. Ia berharga kira-kira RM900 bagi tiga pendakap beserta kos upah.\n\n\n\n\nDisebabkan Malaysia ini negara beriklim panas, penting untuk kereta memiliki pendingin hawa yang bagus dan anda kena ingat, apabila dah tiba masa untuk menukar pemampat dan gegelung penyejuk, ia boleh menelan kos lebih kurang RM1,200.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAkhir sekali macam biasa, penukaran tayar dan memandangkan Axia menggunakan tayar nipis sebagai standard, menukar tayar Axia tak mahal. Kosnya kira-kira RM150 bagi sebuah tayar berjenama terkenal.\u00a0\n\n\nKesimpulan\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Axia generasi pertama lebih daripada sekadar kereta walaupun ditambah dengan beberapa ciri tambahan. Tetapi ia dah lebih daripada cukup untuk bawa kita daripada titik A ke titik B beserta dengan penggunaan minyak yang bagus.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDengan harga kurang RM30,000, anda boleh dapatkan kereta yang boleh diharapkan dan ada ruang yang cukup untuk penumpang.

Of the three, Renault\u2019s Captur is undoubtedly the most popular. Officially launched in Malaysia late 2015, the Captur had been locally-assembled in Segambut, Kuala Lumpur, since April 2017 and received a \nfacelift in 2018\n. Renault recently announced its latest version of Captur that builds on the original\u2019s success \u2013 striking body colours, straightforward interior and up to date technologies.\n\n\n\n\nAs crossovers go, we think the upgraded Renault Captur certainly looks better than before. Renault updated the style to bring the Captur in line with its next-generation design.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe front now looks more streamlined with the C-shaped Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) at the bumper sides and a redesigned centre grille.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe rear tail lamps now come with LED light guides to give them a little more character especially when lit.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the cabin, the Captur strikes a unique yet straightforward appeal. Hard plastics and trims are in monotones of black, grey and silver which join the black combination leather seats. The driver instrument cluster design merges both digital and analogue displays for that sportiness while the elevated seating position allows for a good view ahead for drivers.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor those unfamiliar with Renault interiors, the Captur would be a unique experience as several button positions go beyond the standard convention. Renault repositioned the placement and operation of the Speed Limiter/ Cruise Control, which is usually operable from the steering stalk or through the steering wheel. In Captur, the Speed Limiter/ Cruise Control is activated from the lower console, while the speed setting, resume and off buttons are on the left and right sides of the steering wheel.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat about the audio and phone controls you might ask? It is a separate stalk located behind the steering with push and pull buttons.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSimilarly, the menu cycle for the driver instrument cluster is placed at the right stalk.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe infotainment unit that comes with the Captur is a 7-inch touchscreen system with online and offline navigation as well as connectivity options. The unit comes with several apps included and a straightforward layout optimized for Android users.\n\n\n\n\nDriver assistance systems and features include auto headlights with auto wipers, reverse camera, walkaway door lock and, front and rear fog lamps. Safety-wise, there are four airbags, Electronic Stability Control, Anti-Slip Regulation, ABS, Emergency Brake Assist, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, Hill Start Assist, and Isofix points for your child seats.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nUnderneath the hood lies the same powertrain as the pre-facelift. It is a 1.2-liter four-cylinder turbocharged unit that produces 118 hp and 190 Nm of torque at 2,000 rpm. The engine is mated to an EDC 6-speed dual-clutch transmission that transmits power to the front wheels. Renault states the Captur can achieve a 5.4-litre fuel economy per 100 km.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe driving experience for us is mostly positive. Standard motorway cruising is thoroughly pleasant, with ride quality and damping taking in the cracks without being very harsh. However, because the Captur is still relatively a basic Renault, you will get the occasional rattle from the idling and hearing it in the cabin. That said, it is easy to drive and place on the road, and when you want that extra boost, the Captur picks up some speed you would not expect. The only thing we felt needed some work is the occasional jerks from the transmission from the get-go, but if you move with speed, it is quite a smooth operator.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHow do we conclude? After a weekend with the Captur, we feel that this compact crossover deserves a little more attention than it is getting. With the global announcement of the new generation already made, it is timely then that \nRenault\u2019s new subscription service\n will provide drivers just what they need with the outgoing model \u2013 some freedom from long-term loans.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe only qualms we have is in the feature department. We think the addition of front parking sensors and a center armrest in the cabin would help drastically. The latter is available with the Captur Plus model. The Plus also adds other additional creature comforts and conveniences for RM5,320 on top of the RM107,980 retail price.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nRenault sweetens the deal by offering subscription service, which is available from RM1,299 per month. The subscription service provides better flexibility in owning a car and protects consumers from car depreciation. Consumers can choose from a choice of either 1-year or 2-year subscription. The subscription fee includes insurance, road tax and maintenance.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRead below for more stories!\n\n\nAre you looking to sell your E-Hailing Vehicle? \nHere\u2019s what to do first\n.\n\n\nIf SUVs are your thing, \nSubaru\u2019s fifth generation Forester is now available in Malaysia\n.\n\n\nAre you looking for a practical sedan? \nToyota\u2019s all-new Corolla\n looks excellent and deserves a closer look.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIt\u2019s the new year!

A faulty fuel pump could cause your car to lose power and accelerate erratically which could lead to an accident. If left unsolved, it could even cause severe damage to other parts of your engine. By knowing what to look out for when diagnosing a faulty fuel pump, you can know when to replace your fuel pump and prevent costly engine damage.\n\n\n\n\nWhat Does a Fuel Pump Do?\n\n\nIn most vehicles, the fuel pump is located in the fuel tank, and it\u2019s a vital component that delivers a steady amount of fuel from the tank to the \nengine\n. With the help of sensors, fuel pumps in modern vehicles are able to adjust the amount of fuel that is sent to the engine. This ensures that your engine produces enough power when you need it while also being more efficient.\n\n\nModern vehicles are equipped with electric fuel pumps while older vehicles have mechanical pumps. In your car, the fuel is pumped from the tank, through the fuel filter, and into the fuel rail, before the injectors spray it into the engine cylinders. Here are the different types of fuel pumps used in cars.\n\n\n1. Mechanical Fuel Pump\n\n\nMechanical fuel pumps are found in older cars and have a simpler construction. This type of pump utilizes the energy produced by the engine to move a diaphragm on the exterior of the pump which creates a pressure difference (also called a positive displacement) that pushes the fuel out of the tank. Since most issues with a mechanical fuel pump are related to the diaphragm, they tend to be easier to identify and fix.\n\n\n2. Electric Fuel Pump\n\n\nAn electric fuel pump is located in the fuel tank and uses an electromagnetic motor to push the fuel to the engine. Compared to a mechanical pump, an electrical one has more components making it more difficult to diagnose and fix. Below are the types of electric fuel pumps commonly used in vehicles.\n\n\n\n\nIn-tank pump:\n Most modern vehicles use in-tank pumps. Since the pump is located in the fuel tank, it has better protection against shock and extreme temperatures.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInline pump:\n This type of pump is located between the fuel tank and engine, either below the car or on the fuel rail in the engine. Since it\u2019s not located in the fuel tank, an inline pump is easier to replace than an in-tank one.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRotary vane pump:\n A rotary vane pump works in the same way as a mechanical pump in that it uses positive displacement to deliver the fuel. The pump has a rotor, which is mounted eccentrically (off-center) inside the pump. When the blades rotate in the rotor, fuel is pushed out of the pump.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow a rotary vane pump works [Source: Giphy]\n\n\n\n\nGerotor pump:\n A gerotor pump also uses positive displacement principle but has different components. It has two interlocking gears \u2013 an internal drive gear and an external driven gear. As the two gears rotate, they produce a positive displacement at the discharge port which pushes the fuel out.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow a gerotor pump works [Source: pumpschool.com]\n\n\nRead More:\n \nTop Family Cars in Malaysia\n.\n\n\nSigns of a Faulty Fuel Pump\n\n\nAlthough mechanical and electrical fuel pumps have different components, they both produce similar symptoms when they are faulty. If you notice the signs below while driving, it\u2019s time to check your fuel pump as it\u2019s highly likely that your pump may be malfunctioning.\n\n\nLoss of Power during Acceleration\n\n\nAccelerating, especially from a standstill state, requires a lot of power and generally forces a car\u2019s fuel pump to work harder to deliver more fuel to the engine. If you notice that your car is sluggish when accelerating, it could be a sign that your fuel pump is unable to keep up with the engine\u2019s demand.\n\n\nCar Jerking at High Speeds\n\n\nWhen your fuel pump is unable to supply enough fuel to the engine while driving at high speeds, it causes an imbalance in the fuel-to-air ratio in the engine. This can cause the engine to skip several power strokes, which is when the engine pistons are pushed down in the cylinder as a result of fuel combustion. The power stroke rotates the crankshaft and wheels which then propel the vehicle forward. As a result of the skipped power strokes, \nyour car might jerk\n at high speeds.\n\n\nCar Struggling when Climbing up Hills or Carrying Cargo\n\n\nDriving up a hill or carrying heavy loads will cause your engine to burn more fuel but if your fuel pump is unable to supply enough fuel, the engine won\u2019t be able to produce enough power. If left unchecked, this could cause your car to stall putting you in a dangerous situation.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nSigns of a Faulty Gearbox\n\n\nYour Car Is Unable to Start\n\n\nYour engine requires fuel even during start-up, so if you can\u2019t start your car, it could have a faulty fuel pump. To confirm if this problem is caused by the fuel pump, you can check the pressure in the fuel line with a fuel pressure gauge.\u00a0\n\n\nIf the reading is zero, your fuel pump is most likely not working. Other than a faulty fuel pump, issues with the spark plugs, \nbattery\n, \nalternator\n, or fuse box could also prevent your car from starting up, so it\u2019s worth getting a professional mechanic to do a proper inspection.\n\n\nSudden Increase or Decrease in Engine Speed (Surging)\n\n\nSurging happens when your engine speed suddenly goes up or down even when you hold the pedal down steadily. A faulty fuel pump can cause an engine surge when it doesn\u2019t maintain consistent pressure in the fuel line. If you notice surging in your engine, it\u2019s a sign that the fuel pump is unable to produce enough pressure consistently.\n\n\nSigns of a Faulty Fuel Pump Relay\n\n\nA fuel pump relay is usually located in the fuse box in the engine bay. It functions as the switch that controls the power supplied to the fuel pump. If the relay is faulty, your fuel pump might not be getting the power it needs and therefore will not function as it should.\n\n\nDifficulty Starting Your Engine\n\n\nA faulty fuel pump relay can cause the pump to stop sending fuel to the engine. When that happens, you may not be able to start your engine. However, as mentioned above, issues with starting your car can be caused by other problems, so it\u2019s best to have a professional check your car.\n\n\nEngine Performance Issues\u00a0\n\n\nThe fuel pump relay may stop functioning all at once or gradually. If the relay fails slowly, you might notice your engine performance drop gradually or occasionally. This can cause your engine to stall on occasion.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nCar Upgrades You Can Get to Improve Your Ride\n\n\n\n\nUseful Things to Know About Your Car Fuel Pump\n\n\nBesides knowing the signs of a faulty fuel pump, you should also understand how to maintain it and when to replace it. These tips can help you prolong the life of your fuel pump and help you be prepared for unexpected issues with your pump.\n\n\nWhen Should You Replace Your Fuel Pump?\n\n\nLike other vehicle components, a fuel pump goes through regular wear and tear. That being said, it can generally last over 150,000 kilometers before showing signs of wear.\n\n\nHow to Maintain Your Car Fuel Pump?\n\n\nThere are a couple of things you can do to prolong the life of your fuel pump, including:\n\n\n\n\nReplacing the fuel filter according to the manufacturer\u2019s recommendations:\n A dirty or clogged fuel filter creates extra pressure in the fuel line. This increased pressure can strain the pump and speed up wear and tear.\n\n\nFill up your tank with enough fuel:\n Since most fuel pumps are in-tank pumps, they rely on the fuel to keep them cool. If you leave your fuel on low for too long, it could cause your fuel pump to heat up and become damaged.\n\n\n\n\nHow Much Does It Cost to Replace a Fuel Pump?\n\n\nA fuel pump is a relatively affordable component to replace ranging in price from RM50 to well above RM300. For instance, a fuel pump for older cars such as a \nProton\n Wira or Waja could start from RM50, while a \nPerodua Myvi\n fuel pump typically costs RM150 and above. However, the price varies depending on the model and year of the car, as well as the brand of the pump.\n\n\nChoose CARSOME Certified for Complete Peace of Mind\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a quality pre-owned car, look no further than \nCARSOME\n.

Here are Signs to Replace Your Timing Belt or Chain", "By\n \nDevan S", "14/07/2023", "\n\n\n\n\n", "The timing belt or chain of a vehicle is part of the engine timing system \u2013 a system that synchronizes the movement of the crankshaft and camshaft to ensure proper combustion. Manufacturers that most commonly use timing chains in their vehicles include \nBMW\n, \nNissan\n, and \nPerodua\n. On the other hand, most \nProton\n, \nHonda\n, and \nHyundai\n vehicles tend to have timing belts.\n\n\nBoth the timing belt and chain are essential engine components that ensure your car can run optimally. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to keep an eye on them if you don\u2019t want to incur expensive repairs. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about timing belts and chains from the lifespan to signs you need a new timing belt.\n\n\nWhat Does a Timing Belt or Timing Chain Do?\n\n\nA car\u2019s timing belt or chain has the same function, which is to synchronize the motion of the camshaft and crankshaft. In turn, these two components control the movement of the engine valves and pistons during combustion, ensuring precise timing. Since the engine components move at thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm), this is important to ensure efficient combustion so the engine can produce enough power without being damaged.\n\n\nTiming Belt vs Timing Chain\n\n\nAlthough they both work the same way, many vehicle owners are of the opinion that timing chains are better as they typically last the vehicle\u2019s lifetime. On the other hand, some prefer timing belts as they cost less to replace. If the timing system is an important consideration for you, here are the main differences between a timing belt and chain.\n\n\n1. How They Work\n\n\nGenerally, a timing belt is made of rubber and doesn\u2019t require lubricating to enhance its performance because it is already compact and streamlined. However, the timing belt is equipped with teeth that grip the gears during operation. If these teeth become detached or worn out, the belt can slip off the gears, thereby affecting its performance. A slipped timing belt can cause the engine to lose power, and the engine operation becomes rougher compared to normal situations.\n\n\nUnlike a timing belt, a timing chain looks and works similarly to a bicycle chain and requires lubrication to reduce friction and vibrations. Therefore, proper maintenance of \nengine oil\n is crucial if your vehicle uses a timing chain. Regular maintenance and timely oil changes can extend the lifespan of the timing chain. Other factors that can cause a car\u2019s timing chain to become damaged or worn out more quickly are:\n\n\n\n\nUsing oil with the wrong viscosity\n\n\nUsing low-quality engine oil\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nFrom Engine Oil to Coolant: Here\u2019s How to Check the 6 Essential Car Oils & Fluids\n\n\n\n\n2. Lifespan\n\n\nThe lifespan of a timing chain is typically longer than that of a timing belt. It doesn\u2019t need to be replaced as long as it doesn\u2019t exhibit any signs of damage such as loud noises. Additionally, the lifespan of a timing chain is said to be at least 400,000km. However, this depends on how you use, maintain, and care for your vehicle.\n\n\nA timing belt\u2019s lifespan is generally around 100,000km. However, this can vary depending on the type and model of the car. For example, the timing belt of a \nProton Saga\n or Proton Waja needs to be replaced every 90,000km to 100,000km. The timing belt of a \nHonda CRV\n is said to last up to 160,000 km, subject to usage and maintenance.\n\n\n3. Operation Noise Level\n\n\nSince a timing belt is coated with a rubber or polymer layer that absorbs vibrations, it operates more quietly than a timing chain. This makes it a highly popular choice among car manufacturers. However, advancements in modern timing chain designs have also made it fairly quiet, turning it into the preferred choice for many car manufacturers, especially luxury automakers.\n\n\nModern timing chain designs are said to be more robust. They produce less friction and vibrations, resulting in a quieter operation compared to previous designs. Additionally, the engine compartment design with the latest technology also plays a role in reducing noise issues in most modern car models that use a timing chain.\n\n\n4. Replacement Cost\n\n\nTiming belts are usually significantly cheaper than timing chains as they\u2019re made of rubber or a polymer material, whereas timing chains are made of metal. That said, the price of a timing belt or chain depends on the type and model of the car it\u2019s made for. The labor cost to change a timing chain is typically more than it is to change a timing belt.\u00a0\n\n\nCars with bigger or more complicated engines will also incur a higher replacement cost. On average, replacing your timing belt or chain should cost between RM200 to RM500. As an example, replacing the timing belt on a \nProton Persona\n costs around RM310 including the labor charge.\n\n\n5. Maintenance\n\n\nBoth timing belts and chains are disposable parts that should be replaced at the end of their lifespan. Timing belts have a fixed lifespan, and since they\u2019re made of rubber, they can crack or have wear and tear on their teeth. If you use a timing belt past its maximum lifespan, it could snap, causing severe damage to your engine.\n\n\nOn the other hand, a timing chain tends to last throughout your vehicle\u2019s lifetime, so you probably won\u2019t need to fix or replace it unless there are unexpected problems. To maintain a timing chain, just ensure you replace your engine oil regularly. This keeps the chain lubricated to slow down wear and tear.\n\n\n\n\nSigns to Replace Your Timing Belt or Chain\n\n\nProblems with your car\u2019s timing belt or chain shouldn\u2019t be ignored as they can lead to more serious problems. If the belt or chain breaks while the engine is running, it could cause severe damage to your engine, which could be costly to repair. Therefore, pay attention to the way your engine sounds while driving and do check on your engine components every time you service your car. Here are possible signs that you need a new timing belt or chain.\n\n\n1. Rough Engine Sound\u00a0\n\n\nA timing belt can break on its own without any sign. However, one common symptom of a timing belt problem is \nabnormal noises\n coming from the engine, most notably squealing or ticking noises. To confirm a damaged timing belt, sprinkle water on it while the engine is running. If the noise disappears after it gets wet, it\u2019s a sign that the car\u2019s timing belt is damaged and needs to be replaced.\n\n\nIn contrast, a timing chain will produce specific sounds when damaged. It will generate a loud rattling noise after starting the engine. The sound tends to be more audible when the engine is heating up and will disappear after some time. However, this sound is also commonly associated with low engine oil pressure. If you hear strange noises, check the engine oil level first. If it\u2019s normal, it\u2019s highly likely that your car\u2019s timing chain has an issue.\n\n\n2. Abnormal Engine Combustion\n\n\nA worn or damaged chain or belt can cause the engine pistons and valves to not move in sync leading to abnormal or incomplete combustion. Since the air and fuel mixture doesn\u2019t ignite at the right time, you get less power and fuel efficiency out of the engine. It could also cause carbon buildup in the engine, and in certain cases, cause engine damage. If you notice odd sounds from the engine accompanied by a drop in power, you should get your engine checked immediately.\n\n\n3. Check Engine Light Turns On\n\n\nThe check engine \nwarning light\n illuminates when the car\u2019s engine sensor detects a potential issue with the engine or exhaust system. This light usually comes on when you turn on your car and goes off after a few seconds. If it stays on even after your engine is running, you could have a problem with the engine. However, if there are odd sounds from the engine as well, there\u2019s a higher likelihood that you have a worn or damaged belt or chain.\n\n\nWe hope this guide can help you familiarize yourself with the differences between a timing belt and chain, as well as know when and if you need to replace them.\u00a0\n\n\nService or Repair Your Car at a CARSOME Service Center\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking to service or repair your car, check out our \nCARSOME Service Centers\n, located in Ampang and Petaling Jaya.

Many misplace it due to negligence, theft, or even because of unfortunate causes such as flood or fire.\u00a0\n\n\nSo if you can\u2019t find your car grant, don\u2019t panic \u2013\u00a0 here are three ways you can replace it. \u2013\u00a0\n\n\nFirst, What is a Car Grant & Why is it Important?\n\n\nA car grant is a document that carries the registration of a car and is issued by the Road Transport Department (JPJ). It is done to establish a link between the car and the owner, or the car\u2019s driver.\u00a0 From June 2016, the old Registration Certificates (RC) -or more commonly known as a grant or car \u2018geran\u2019 among Malaysians \u2013 was replaced by the Vehicle Ownership Certificate (VOC) in an effort to streamline and broaden the department\u2019s online services.\n\n\nimage source: \nJPJ\u2019s Official Website\n\n\nThe VOC is similar to the car grant as it carries all the relevant vehicle and ownership details online. Though the physical document will not be needed during the \nrenewal of road tax\n or changing of vehicle ownership, you will need the grant if you are selling your car. In this case, you will need to surrender the original certificate.\n\n\nSo, without further ado, here are the steps on getting a new car grant.\n\n\n\n\n1. Getting a New Car Grant at the JPJ Counter\n\n\nYou can get a copy of the original or produce a new car grant at any JPJ office near you for RM50. All you (the registered owner) need to do is:\n\n\n\n\nStep 1:\nBring your identity card (MyKad) and other required documents (we\u2019ve listed them down below for easy reference).\n\n\nStep 2:\nFill in and complete the JPJ K7 form.\n\n\nStep 3\n: Submit your MyKad and the completed JPJ K7 form to the officer on duty.\n\n\n\n\nAfter the verification process, you will receive a copy of the original grant as required.\n\n\nApart from the registered owner, the application of getting a new copy of the Vehicle Ownership Certificate (VOC) can only be done by any authorized government agencies, company, organization officers, or beneficiaries only.\u00a0\n\n\nHere are the documents you need.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApplication by registered owner\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOwnership Grant Checklist Form\n\n\nTwo copies of the completed JPJ K7 Forms.\n\n\nOriginal Identity Card (MyKad) for identification.\n\n\nRequired Fees.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApplication by the owner\u2019s representative\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGrant Copy Checklist Form\n\n\nTwo copies of the completed JPJ K7 Forms\n\n\nAn official letter from the Government Agency/Company/Organization\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nRequired fees\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApplication by the official beneficiary\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGrant Copy Checklist Form\n\n\nTwo completed JPJ K7 Forms\n\n\nCopy of Identity Card (MyKad) of the registered owner\n\n\nCopy of the beneficiary\u2019s Identity Card (MyKad)\n\n\nSupporting documents explaining why the registered owner of the vehicle is unable to appear in person for the consideration of the State Director or authorized officer\n\n\nSupporting documents proving the relationship between the beneficiary and the registered owner\n\n\nIf the registered owner of the vehicle has died, the JPJK7 form must be signed by the beneficiary who has been appointed by the Court or the Small Heir/Executor/Executrix/Administrator who has been appointed by the Court in the Letter of Administration or Grant of Probate.\n\n\nRequired fees\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Getting a New Car Grant at the \nJPJ Kiosk\n\n\nBesides requesting a grant at the counter, you can also get a copy of the car grant from one of the 36 JPJ kiosks available throughout Malaysia.\u00a0 The steps are pretty straightforward. Here\u2019s how.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nStep 1: Insert your MyKad and place your right thumb on the fingerprint scanner.\n\n\nStep 2: Select Vehicle Ownership Certificate (VOC).\n\n\nStep 3: Review the relevant information displayed..\n\n\nStep 4: Enter your payment details to proceed to the payment page.\n\n\nStep 5: You will be charged RM50 (for the original car grant) for each successful transaction.\n\n\nStep 6: Select a receipt printout (if necessary)\n\n\n\n\n3.Getting a New Car Grant from the Bank\n\n\nThis method is for those who have never gotten an original grant from the bank that you got your car loan from. You can request for the original car loan from your bank in accordance with the Hire Purchase Amendment Act 2010 which requires the bank to submit a VOC to the requestor when applied in writing.\n\n\nHere is how you do it.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nStep 1:\n Visit the bank that your car loan is under.\n\n\nStep 2:\n Complete the required forms.\n\n\nStep 3:\n Submit your identity card (MyKad) to the officer on duty.\n\n\nStep 4\n: After the verification process (fingerprint scan), the officer on duty will hand you over the original car grant.\n\n\nStep 5: \nIf you want to get a copy of the grant for the insurance claims, all you need to do is make a quick call to the car loan\u2019s bank and once it is confirmed, a copy of the grant will be sent to you via email.\n\n\n\n\nMake sure you keep your VOC safe with these tips!\n\n\nOnce you have your new car grant, try to make sure you don\u2019t lose it again as although the VOC is accessible online, you will still need your car grant if you intend to sell off your car.\u00a0\n\n\nSo, here are some handy tips on keeping your car grant safe:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKeep it in a folder\n\n\nMake several copies to keep\n\n\nLabel & organize your car documents\n\n\n\n\nWith that, we hope the process goes smoothly. Also, bear in mind that with the current procedures in place due to the lockdown, make sure you call in to check in case you\u2019ll need to set an appointment before your JPJ or bank visits.

The impact can damage, strain, or weaken your tires, thus leading to a blowout or flat tire when you travel further down the road.\n\n\nIf you happen to hit a pothole, it\u2019s always best to find a safe place to stop so you can inspect your tires for damage, even if it does not show any signs of being flat. Check the structure of your tire for any bulge or tears and immediately schedule for a tire change.\n\n\nBent or Cracked Rims\n\n\nThe next victim to feel the brunt when you hit a pothole are the rims. Cars these days are mostly equipped with aluminum or alloy wheels and they are more susceptible to dents, especially when hitting a pothole at high speeds.\n\n\nBent rims will become distorted, which may lead to cracks as well. This causes your steering wheels to vibrate when driving and you also will not be able to control your car properly.\n\n\nAlignment & Suspension Damage\n\n\nAnother effect of hitting a pothole is that it could potentially damage your car\u2019s suspension and alignment.\u00a0\n\n\nThis could result in premature wear and tear on your strut and shock absorbers, which will make your car bounce excessively while being driven.\u00a0\n\n\nAfter hitting a pothole, if you notice your car veering off center while driving, that means your car\u2019s alignment has been affected and this will cause your tires to wear out quickly.\n\n\nRead more:\n \n7 Defensive Driving Tips That May Just Save Your Life\n\n\nReporting Potholes\n\n\nBack in 2020, Jabatan Kerja Raya Malaysia posted a statement on \nFacebook\n that listed 11 ways the public can officially lodge their complaints regarding damaged roads and roads with potholes.\n\n\nThe statement also mentioned that, \u201cevery complaint regardless of federal road, state road or council road, will be channeled to the relevant parties for immediate action.\u201d\n\n\nHere are the 11 ways you can submit a complaint to JKR.\n\n\n\n\nJKR Care website (\nhttps://aduan.jkr.gov.my/\n)\n\n\n\n\nVisit the link above.\n\n\nClick on \u2018Daftar Aduan\u2019.\n\n\nProceed to fill in your complaint along with your details then submit.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSistem Pengurusan Aduan Awam (SISPAA) JKR (\nhttps://kkr.spab.gov.my/eApps/system/index.do\n)\n\n\n\n\nVisit the link above.\n\n\nClick on \u2018Aduan/Maklum Balas Baharu\u2019.\n\n\nProceed to fill in your complaint along with your details then submit.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSistem Pengurusan Aduan Awam (SISPAA) Biro Pengaduan Awam (\nhttps://pcb.spab.gov.my/eApps/system/index.do\n)\n\n\n\n\nVisit the link above.\n\n\nClick on \u2018Aduan/Maklum Balas Baharu\u2019.\n\n\nProceed to fill in your complaint along with your details then submit.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBy phone calls: 1-300-888-557 or 03-2618 8401/8402\n\n\nComplaint email: \naduan.jkr@1govuc.gov.my\n\n\nCommunication email: \nkomunikasi.jkr@1govuc.gov.my\n\n\nThrough newspaper/media\n\n\nMalaysia Government Call Centre (MyGCC) \u2013 by calling 03-8000 8000 / emailing 80008000@mygcc.gov.my / visiting MYGCC\u2019s \nFacebook\n, \nTwitter\n, \nInstagram\n / \nwebsite\n.\n\n\nLetters addressed to JKR \u2013 Urus Setia Aduan JKR, Bahagian Komunikasi Korporat (BKK), Cawangan Dasar dan Pengurusan Korporat, Ibu Pejabat JKR Malaysia, Tingkat 30, Blok G, Jalan Sultan Salahuddin, 50480 Kuala Lumpur\n\n\nVerbal complaint by visiting JKR office.\n\n\nUse the \u2018Respons Rakyat\u2019 app that you can download from the \nApple Store\n and \nPlay Store\n.\n\n\n\n\nAdditionally, you can also lodge a complaint regarding potholes through the following methods as well.\n\n\n\u2018DBKL Potholes Complaints\u2019 WhatsApp for Kuala Lumpur\n\n\nIf you\u2019re driving around in Kuala Lumpur and you see any potholes or damages on the road that requires immediate attention, you can directly notify Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur of its location through the mentioned WhatsApp service on this number \n011-6239 6652\n or through this link \nhttps://wa.link/jobdg3\n.\n\n\nIn this \nFacebook post\n where this service was announced, all you have to do is take a photo of the pothole you\u2019re reporting and send it to the WhatsApp number above along with its location so DBKL can immediately send a repair team.\u00a0\n\n\nUsing Waze Reports for Potholes & Other Road Hazards in Selangor\n\n\nIf you\u2019re living in Selangor, the state government has been working together with Waze to gather information regarding potholes and other road hazards from the public.\u00a0\n\n\nReporting is very easy as well. All you have to do is get your passenger to tap the \u2018Report\u2019 icon when you see a pothole or any hazard on the road, select \u2018Hazard\u2019, then tap \u2018On Road\u2019, followed by \u2018Pothole\u2019 and then tap \u2018Send\u2019 to submit your report. You can also include a photo and a comment with your report, if needed.\n\n\nLookout for Potholes & Other Road Hazards While Driving\n\n\nAlways be on the lookout for potholes or road hazards \u2013 they can be quite dangerous if neglected for too long. So, when you\u2019re driving and if you\u2019re able to, please do your part by reporting them to the authorities so they can be taken care of for the safety of all road users.\n\n\nAnd if you do spot a pothole ahead while driving, slow down and try to carefully drive around it.

Keep up the good work!\n\n\nHowever, if you have been unable to make your loan payments lately, don\u2019t simply ignore the problem and hope it will go away. Before you know it, your car might be repossessed.\n\n\n\n\nFailing to pay for your car loan puts you at risk of getting your car repossessed by the bank. It\u2019s common sense that if you fail to pay for your loan, your asset will be repossessed, but sometimes life happens and you get a kick in the back in the form of a repossession notice from the bank.\n\n\nHow does this happen?\n\n\nThe Process of Repossession\n\n\nThe car repossession process does not happen immediately when you miss a payment. Typically, you will only be served a repossession notice after you\u2019ve missed two successive payments.\n\n\nHere\u2019s the timeline for the repossession of your vehicle.\n\n\n\n\nSources:\n\n\nHire Purchase Act 1967, Attorney General\u2019s Chambers\n\n\nCode Of Ethics For Permit Holder On Repossession, Association of Hire Purchase Companies Malaysia\n\n\nIf you are unfortunate enough to have that happen to you, you should know that:\n\n\n\n\nRepossessors must get your consent first before entering your premises.\n\n\nRepossessors must not use any strong force or oppressive measures to repossess the car.\n\n\nRepossessors must have a standard notice that delivers information such as the address and telephone number you should contact.\n\n\nRepossessors must give you reasonable time to remove your personal items and belongings.\n\n\n\n\nBefore the repossessor tows away your vehicle, he or she must produce:\n\n\n\n\nLegal permit to repossess your car.\n\n\nHis/her MyKad or I/C.\n\n\nThe repossession order issued by your bank or the court order.\n\n\n\n\nIf you fall victim to the oppressive measures taken by the repossessors or if your rights have been wrongfully infringed during repossession, make a complaint to the bank that repossessed the car. You may also complain to the Association of Hire Purchase Companies Malaysia to seek support.\n\n\nAfter the repossessors fulfill all of the above, your car will be towed away and kept within a premise by the bank.\n\n\nWhat to Do If Your Car Is Repossessed?\n\n\nIf panicking is on top of your list of what to do after your vehicle has been taken away, take a deep breath and consider your options. It\u2019s not the end of the world if you know what to do, and act quickly. You will receive a 21-day notice to take action before the bank moves on to the next step.\n\n\nHere are your options after your car has been repossessed:\n\n\n\n\nSource: \nA Guide To Hire Purchase, Association of Hire Purchase Companies Malaysia\n\n\nFailing to do any of this after 21 days, your car will be sent for auction.\n\n\nWhat Happens in the Auction?\n\n\nIn this worst-case scenario, your car will have to be auctioned off to pay off the debt that you owe. Auction prices are based on a forced sale value, which means it will be lower than the prevailing market value. Instead of the sale price going up during the auction, the price will actually reduce at each subsequent bid carried out until the car is finally sold.\n\n\nThis means, if your car is only sold in the subsequent auction, the proceeds from the auction may not be enough to cover your outstanding loan and other out-of-pocket expenses that were incurred in the process.\n\n\nIn this case, the bank will continue to demand the rest of the payment from you. You will also need to bear the auction expenses as well and any other fees related to the repossession, so it will be a major loss for you.\n\n\nHow Can You Avoid the Drama?\n\n\nThe best way to avoid the whole sticky situation is, of course, to pay your loan on time. But if you\u2019re facing financial difficulties, here are some things that you can do:\n\n\n\n\nIf you know you\u2019re having cash flow problem, you can discuss with the bank to restructure your car loan. The bank may revise your monthly payments and/or extend the tenure to ease your burden. Although the bank is not obligated to revise your finances, there\u2019s no harm in trying. This is best done early on, so you won\u2019t be slapped with a repossession notice.\n\n\nIf you can\u2019t pay back what you owe and the bank refuses to revise your monthly payments, your best option at this stage is to sell your car before it gets to the repossession stage. Remember, selling a car is not done overnight. So, you need to ensure you have enough time to dispose of your vehicle and settle your loan with the bank before repossession kicks in.\n\n\n\n\nTake note that if you have paid more than 75% of your car loan, the bank cannot repossess your car unless they get a court order. Repossession is only valid if you owe the bank more than 75% of the car loan and you have defaulted on your loan twice, consecutively.\n\n\nFor those who have yet to buy a vehicle and get a loan from the bank, there are many factors you need to consider to keep your vehicle from being repossessed a few months or years down the line. First of all, make sure that the vehicle you buy is one that you can afford, and not just based on the loan you are eligible for. You want to be able to repay your loan so that you never default, or have financial issues. So take note of how much you can really repay monthly, and work from there.\n\n\nHaving an emergency fund is also crucial to cover your loan repayment just in case you lose your job or you\u2019re going through a rough patch financially. Plan out how much you will need to have in your emergency fund, not just for your car loan, but also for your other financial commitments.\n\n\nA repossessed car will affect your credit rating, which will make it harder for you to get any loans or mortgages in the future. As with any credit facility, you need to consider the repercussions of the worst-case scenario. Will you be able to weather through a job loss, financial downturn, or pay cut?\n\n\nWhatever the situation is, always know your rights when you\u2019re sent the letter of repossession and take action accordingly. Most importantly, focus on paying off your loan to ensure nothing bad happens to your finances and your vehicle.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for an affordable car with low monthly payments, check out \nCARSOME\n.

You can\u2019t just stop in the middle of the road and leave it there, though many Malaysians seem to believe otherwise.\n\n\nUnfortunately, the parking lesson is limited to only parallel parking and not other types of parking that you\u2019ll encounter out in the wild west of Malaysian roads. These include perpendicular parking (commonly referred to as reverse parking or forward parking) and angle parking.\n\n\nThe reasoning behind the focus on parallel parking might be due to the fact that it\u2019s the most difficult type and requires more focus as well as an understanding of properly positioning the car.\n\n\n\n\nNonetheless, the most common type of parking you\u2019ll encounter is perpendicular parking. As the name suggests, it means that either the front or rear of the car is positioned perpendicular (90 degrees) to the edge. It\u2019s the most efficient use of space, though angle parking is the easiest in terms of ingress and egress from the parking spot.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nHow to Renew Your Driving License in Malaysia\n\n\nReverse or Forward Parking?\n\n\nThere are only two ways to position your car in a perpendicular parking box. You either reverse in, meaning the rear of the car is against the curb, or you drive in head first, leaving the front closest to the curb.\n\n\nIn places like Japan, there\u2019s an unwritten rule that you may only reverse park for perpendicular spots.\n\n\nHowever, there\u2019s no such rule in Malaysia, meaning you\u2019re free to use whichever you\u2019re comfortable with. Certain places, though, will display \u201creverse parking only\u201d signs and it\u2019s best you obey them.\n\n\nStill, you must be thinking, \u201cIs there any distinct difference between either one, or which of the two is best?\u201d\n\n\nWell, let\u2019s break it down.\n\n\n\n\nAdvantages of Forward Parking\n\n\n1. Quicker entry\n\n\nIf you\u2019re running late, forward parking saves you plenty of time as you just drive into the spot and jump out.\n\n\n2. Easier for the inexperienced driver\n\n\nInexperienced drivers might find it easier as you\u2019re viewing the spot directly and not relying on intimidating side-view mirrors to maneuver. For new drivers, reverse parking can be a little disorienting as they\u2019ve yet to fully understand the positioning of the car based on the mirror\u2019s reflection.\n\n\n3. Clearer access to the boot\n\n\nSome perpendicular lots might be against a wall. This leaves little to no space if you\u2019re going to grab stuff from the boot. Forward parking will see the boot facing out of the lot, meaning easier access to the boot.\n\n\nRead More: \nChanging a Flat Tire Is Easier than You Think\n\n\n\n\nAdvantages of Reverse Parking\n\n\n1. Better maneuverability\n\n\nYou might not know this, but\u00a0 cars are more maneuverable when driven in reverse. This means that it\u2019s actually much easier to reverse into a perpendicular parking spot.\n\n\nThis is due to the fact that a car pivots around the wheels that don\u2019t steer. Seeing that a car\u2019s front wheels turn, that means it can execute a tighter turning radius in reverse. Hence, easier maneuverability.\n\n\nA simple example of this would be with forklifts. Ever notice that forklifts steer via the rear wheels? This allows precise maneuvering and sharp turns for safer loading of the weight in the front.\n\n\nPlus, you might as well get better at reversing because even with forward parking, you\u2019ll need to reverse to exit the parking space. If you choose to reverse out after forward parking, you run the risk of not being able to safely see if there\u2019s oncoming traffic as well. Backing out into traffic is inherently more dangerous.\n\n\nSo, either way, you\u2019re going to be reversing. It\u2019s just a matter of when, not if.\n\n\n2. Better view (\nwith a rearview camera\n)\n\n\nMost modern cars come with a reverse camera. This gives you a much clearer and wider view of the rear as you reverse into the parking spot. By driving in head first, you might not be able to judge low objects such as the curb, small animals, or tree stumps.\n\n\nThe more comprehensive view offered by a reverse camera means you can avoid knocking into the aforementioned low objects.\n\n\nRead More: \nBuying a Car? Here Are 17 Safety Features You Need\n\n\n3. Safer, quicker, and easier to exit\n\n\nWhen it\u2019s time to exit the parking spot, it\u2019s a pretty much straightforward affair of looking for oncoming traffic and just driving off. You won\u2019t have to rely on mirrors and second-guess yourself while watching out for oncoming cars like you would if you opted for forward parking.\n\n\nFurthermore, in an emergency situation, a reverse-parked car is much easier to head off as you\u2019ll likely be exiting towards the direction that you\u2019re driving off to.\n\n\n4. Easier access to engine bay\n\n\nIf you\u2019re the DIY type or like to carry out minor maintenance work on your car, clear access to the engine bay is paramount. In the very same manner that forward parking allows for easier access to the boot, the same applies to reverse parking for the engine bay.\n\n\nSummary\n\n\nReverse parking might be a little harder to get accustomed to, especially for new drivers. Nonetheless, even with forward parking, you\u2019ll eventually have to throw it into Reverse to get out of the parking spot.\n\n\nTherefore, the safest conclusion would be to practice reverse parking and get the hang of it. Once you do, you\u2019ll realize that it does carry more advantages over forward parking.\n\n\nStill, there might be situations that require you to park a certain way. In that case, it\u2019s best to go with the safest or most obvious option.\n\n\nWhichever way you go with, remember to park well within the marked parking box because nobody likes being made famous on the Stupid Parking Idiots Facebook page.\n\n", "Devan S\nDevan believes written content is here to stay despite our depleting attention span and the rise of short videos.

However, that doesn\u2019t mean you don\u2019t need to put some thought into getting the right one that suits your needs.\n\n\nHere are five factors you should put on your checklist before you decide.\n\n\n1. The Amount You Pay for the Policy\n\n\nIn the past, motor insurance premiums were regulated by a tariff structure that was controlled by Bank Negara Malaysia. The liberalization of motor insurance in Malaysia since 2017 has seen local insurance providers gradually implementing \nrisk-based pricing\n.\n\n\nThis means the providers are able to introduce a wider range of products with more flexible pricing. You should shop around and compare the products in the market because there\u2019s every chance that you\u2019ll find a \nslight\n variation in the premiums between one car insurer and the next.\n\n\nTip:\n Some car insurers now offer their policies fully online, making it easier for you to compare, apply, buy, and file your claims online. Get a quote for car insurance through CARSOME Capital \nhere\n.\u00a0\n\n\nAlso, some car insurance companies may charge you an additional premium if you\u2019re under 25. Even though the difference might be small, you\u2019ll still benefit financially by making a comparison first before you decide.\n\n\n\n\n2. The Value-Added Services You Enjoy\n\n\nWhen your car breaks down or becomes immobile after an accident, the last thing you need is trying to figure out what telephone number to call to get some help, which is where that value-added towing/roadside service provided by your car insurance company comes into place.\n\n\nIn Malaysia, most car insurers have some form of towing/roadside assistance service, though there are still some that do not. If you\u2019re not good with cars, it may be to your benefit to go with a car insurer that provides such a service.\n\n\nDid you know?\n\n\nAll CARSOME Certified cars come with a warranty for the first year, which includes roadside assistance.\u00a0\n\n\nNote:\n Even among car insurers that do provide towing/roadside service, the terms and conditions as well as the extent and coverage of the service are bound to be different. You\u2019ll want to find one that fits your needs the most.\n\n\n3) The Network of Panel Workshops\n\n\nWhen you get into an accident, you will need to get your car repaired at a panel workshop in order to make a claim on your insurance policy. If your car insurer has a limited network of panel workshops serving your area, the simple task of sending your car to a workshop would be harder.\n\n\nCar insurers that have a nationwide presence may be more suited for motorists who need to travel frequently to out-of-town locations. However, some people may prefer the personal touch of their local insurance provider which may have limited coverage outside certain states.\n\n\nFor peace of mind, you may want to prioritize the car insurers with larger networks of panel workshops in your area.\n\n\n4) Takaful vs Conventional Car Insurance\n\n\nBoth Takaful and conventional car insurance work on similar basic principles, namely: they both require you to pay for coverage and in return, offer protection in the event of an accident.\n\n\nThe biggest difference, however, is that a Takaful product works in accordance with Shariah principles, whilst conventional car insurance usually does not. If Shariah compliance is an important consideration for you, you may wish to consider only car insurers that do offer Takaful products.\n\n\nMajor car insurers in Malaysia that do provide Takaful car insurance can be found \nhere\n.\n\n\n5) Reputation & Service Level\n\n\nAs with all services you pay money for, you will want to opt for a car insurance provider that has a good track record and exceptional service level.\n\n\nSome ways you could go about finding out about service levels include chatting with people who have previously made claims on their car insurance policies, or surfing through online forums and reading what the common folks are saying.\n\n\nWhen you are faced with an emergency, some people may prefer dealing with a familiar agent rather than an anonymous call center. Others may prefer to file their claims without any fuss using online channels while others choose to have someone do it for them. It\u2019s always best to find the car insurance provider that best suits your needs when it comes to such personal preferences.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for an affordable, quality car, check out \nCARSOME\n.

Is the C 43 for you? This is what we aim to answer.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe current generation C-Class is quite the headliner. When Mercedes unveiled it in 2014, it became the premium compact sedan unmatched on a visual level (much like how the brand has done it again recently for the new A-Class interior). The C-Class represented a bold departure from its predecessor \u2013 distinctly sculpted exterior with a cabin that quite literally puts the \u2018class\u2019 into \u2018C-Class\u2019.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe C 43 represents the highest of the available four-door C-Class\u2019 available locally with performance numbers to match. Underneath the hood lies a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 that now outputs 385 hp and 520 Nm of torque from 2,500 to 5,000 rpm, and is mated to a 9-speed AMG Speedshift transmission. Power goes to the 4Matic all-wheel drive system with a 31:69 torque bias to the rear until it\u2019s needed at the front.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe new C 43 is better than ever. This is evident in the interior updates that has surprisingly made the experience more fluid and deserving of a sedan of this nature. This revision has brought the new steering wheel with touch controls, full-digital 12.3-inch instrument cluster and also a larger 10.25-inch central infotainment unit to the cabin that is widely praised for its comfort, lines and looks.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe central infotainment unit is a widescreen display and now runs on the newer Comand Online system which is easier to use than on the pre-facelift C-Class. Menu selection is now more linear from the home screen which is certainly a boost in the UI department.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBut the icing on the cake has to be the digital instrument cluster that has not only display themes of Classic, Sport and Supersport, but the options to customize the data from either the central portion and tachometer (Classic and Sport), or at either side (Supersport).\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAs with AMGs, the person behind the wheel is the most important factor that defines the badge, and the C 43 doesn\u2019t disappoint. What we liked here is the fact that the C 43 is as much a daily driver like its non-AMG siblings are. The differences in what the AMG does is essentially in the sharpening of the steering, immediacy of the engine response, and everything mechanically that is there to pay homage to the Aufrecht and Melcher duo. So whether it is cruising home on Comfort mode or setting it to Sport + when the curvy B-roads come up, the C 43 has that personality to keep you happy at all times.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nUsing it as a daily driver for a week proved to be highly satisfying. The included Blind spot information system, Lane departure warning and assist, as well as the 360-camera view with Active Park Assist made it easier to move around traffic, but that isn\u2019t the main part of why anyone gets an AMG. On Comfort mode, the C 43 is easily the best mode for the everyday in terms of how the power is delivered, but when put on Sport or Sport +, it opens the power more forcefully. When paired with these modes and in manual, downshifts can be felt a little more perceptively with some jerks when decelerating, or accelerating to the limit and lifting off before engaging the following speed. Other than that, there\u2019s more than enough power to put down when the driver wants to.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDid we like the C 43? Yes, definitely. Having tested the GLA 45 before this, the C 43 is more comfortable, less aggressive and is the everyday sedan. The only thing that we\u2019re disappointed with, is that the V6 in the C 43 will most likely be the last vee-arrangement of its kind in the C, as the brand is looking to replace it with an in-line unit in the future. With that in mind and the fact that Mercedes already has a newer 43 in the form of the AMG GT 43 4-door Coup\u00e9, numbers are looking to change when it comes to the next AMG C-Class. One thing\u2019s for sure, with the introduction of the AMG 35 now as the baby AMG, the next AMG flavoured C-Class will definitely have more power and dressings on the side.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWant to know more about the updated Mercedes-Benz E-Class range in Malaysia? \nClick here!\n\n\nOr \nclick here\n to check out the new 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 AMG Line!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car through Carsome and get the best price through online bidding!\n\n", "Tags\nCars\nDriving\nReviews", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Whether it is food, furniture, or even cars, getting things sold online is easy but comes with risks. We list the common risks for those who want to sell their cars online and provide you a better solution.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRevealing too much personal information\n\n\n\n\nMost online marketplaces will require the seller to provide contact information, such as email address or mobile number. Many sellers say that they often receive bogus emails or texts; out of the many inquiries, there are only a few genuinely interested buyers. There are also bigger risks that come in the form of overfriendly buyers who may want to view the car you are selling at your own home, putting you and your family at risk of a home invasion or assault.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nGetting a deal too good to be true\n\n\n\n\nYou\u2019ve probably heard of this one. A potential buyer offers a higher-than-usual market value for your car. He or she then proceeds to request for your bank account number for the transfer. When the transfer is supposedly done, the buyer then sends you the receipt of the transaction, but requests an activation fee for the full transfer. They proceed to send you their bank account number, hoping that you\u2019ll fall for the scam.\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nScammers pretending to be someone else\n\n\n\n\nScammers may take advantage of the situation by masquerading as a dealer or employee of a car inspection service and reach out to you to conduct an inspection of your car. They may request cash upfront before or during the inspection as a fee. This is a telltale sign that you might be targetted by a scammer.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIs there a better way to sell your car without risks? Yes!\n\n\n\n\nSelling your second-hand car through Carsome can be done in 4 simple steps:\n\n\n\n\nMake a 2-minute appointment booking online at \nCarsome\u2019s website\n and wait for Carsome\u2019s customer service personnel\u2019s confirmation.\u00a0\n\n\nSend your car to one of Carsome\u2019s inspection centers at the scheduled date and time for a 30-minute inspection process.\u00a0\n\n\nOnce the inspection is complete, Carsome may quote you a selling price, which you can accept on the spot or choose to put your car up for online bidding.\n\n\nUpon agreement of sale and receipt of all documents, Carsome will manage all the necessary paperwork on the same day and pay you in 1 hour (\nterms & conditions apply\n) upon completion of ownership transfer.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s that easy and risk-free!\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAlthough selling to Carsome does not come with any risk, the process of submitting an appointment has to be done through Carsome\u2019s official website, or to our hotline at 1800-82-3388.\u00a0 Alternatively, you can reach out to Carsome through \nFacebook\n or \nInstagram\n, but ensure that you\u2019re on the official accounts to avoid scammers or posers.\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRead below for more stories!\n\n\nSelling your e-hailing vehicle doesn\u2019t have to be difficult. \nClick here\n to find out more!\n\n\nAre you a \nnon-Malaysian selling your vehicle or an owner with a Police or Army ID\n?

Time after time again, the media has been relentlessly trying to stir moral panic by citing drunk driving as the leading cause of fatal road accidents. But are they really true?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIn reality, a \nPolis Diraja Rakyat Malaysia\n (PDRM) statistical report ranging from July 2011 and 2021 shows that only 69 cases of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs have been recorded as fatal. In fact, driving under influence does not even come close to the top 5 causes of road fatalities in Malaysia. Here are the main causes of fatal road accidents and what we can do to avoid them.\n\n\n1. Careless Mistakes\n\n\nOne of the leading causes of road fatalities is\u2026our own careless mistakes? PDRM\u2019s data reveals that at least 19,570 fatal road accidents occur due to drivers crashing their own cars. There are all sorts of mistakes, mainly a \npoor sense of judgment\n by drivers or just plain recklessness. How many times have you encountered one or more hooligans driving on the streets like it\u2019s their grandfather\u2019s road?\u00a0\n\n\nTexting and driving is also another reckless behavior on the road. Hop on to any dashcam groups on Facebook and you\u2019ll find yourself an abundant amount of horrific, and sometimes comedic examples of reckless drivers caught red-handed. Drivers like these will make you question \u2013 How in the world did they get their driving license? The lack of empathy and proper understanding of our traffic laws leads to ignorance. Arrogance and ego can be a deadly cocktail of wanton disaster.\u00a0\n\n\nAccording to traffic laws \nSection 41\n of the \nRoad Transport Act 1987\n \u2013 Any person who, by the driving of a motor vehicle on a road recklessly or at a speed or in a manner which having regard to all the circumstances (including the nature, condition, and size of the road, and the amount of traffic which is or might be expected to be on the road) is dangerous to the public, causes the death of any person shall be guilty of an offense\u2026\u201d.\u00a0\n\n\nSo, before you respond to that text on the phone, remember that you\u2019re driving a 1000 kg weapon on four wheels; you can kill someone with that.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Entering/Exiting Slip Roads Recklessly\n\n\nWhen we were children our parents used to tell us \u2013 Look left and right before crossing the road. What happened to that advice? Another common cause of fatal road accidents in Malaysia is entering or \nexiting slip roads\n recklessly, be it not crossing when the roads are properly or at the hands of other reckless drivers. As of July 2021, PDRM\u2019s data reports that 6590 deaths occur from accidents on the slip road.\u00a0\n\n\nThe sight of oncoming traffic speeding up the moment you gave a signal has been far too common. When drivers do not give way to oncoming traffic or fail to merge properly, you can cause a traffic pile-up. Unfortunately, unless more Malaysians learn how to give way, we can only be wary of traffic when entering and exiting slip roads. Drive slow, remember to always give a signal before merging, and check for oncoming traffic.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Not Staying In Your Lane Properly\u00a0\n\n\nWith 6587 deaths in the span of ten years, \nstraying away from your lane\n has become the third leading cause of fatal road accidents on Malaysian Roads. This also slightly ties back to drivers making careless mistakes by getting distracted or texting while driving. Oftentimes, some road drivers do not realize that they are out of their lane due to poor visibility and road conditions in rural areas.\u00a0\n\n\nNowadays, we have some cars that come with Lane Assist Systems, especially on modern Mazdas and Toyotas. Drivers can mitigate this by ensuring they are alert and focused on the road, regularly checking their mirrors, and using their signals when changing lanes. Moreover, try to shadow the car ahead to see if it\u2019s staying in the lane.\u00a0\n\n\nOvertaking/Undertaking Other Cars on the Highway\n\n\nOvertaking or undercutting is another common cause of \nfatal road accidents\n in Malaysia. With 6560 drivers having tried and failed horribly, it\u2019s the fourth leading cause of road fatalities in the country. This happens when drivers attempt to\n overtake\n another vehicle, be in the slow or fast lane, without enough space, or when cut in front of another vehicle without warning. On top of that, some drivers even try to tailgate slow cars in the fast lane. While two wrongs don\u2019t make a right here, It\u2019s best to remember the four-second rule of keeping your distance while driving.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you have to overtake or undertake someone, always give yourself and the car in front of you some space before doing so. Also, always use your signals when changing lanes, and avoid cutting in front of other vehicles. Use the side, and rearview mirrors to make sure your surroundings are clear before cutting through. Watch out for your blind spots too.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Unaware of Their Surroundings on the Road\n\n\nLack of situational awareness has caused 6336 fatalities, putting it in fifth place. Just like drivers making careless mistakes, there is no shortage of drivers or motorcyclists caught on dashcam groups. Much to the entertainment (and sometimes frustration of many), more drivers need to be aware of their surroundings the moment they drive. We can\u2019t expect Jesus to take the wheel for us.\u00a0\n\n\nHowever, some fatalities from poor situational awareness can\u2019t be fully blamed on the driver. At times, road visibility may be poor due to weather conditions or driving in a new area for the first time. I\u2019ll admit I too make some mistakes and get lost driving in new places, but paying attention to my surroundings has gotten me out unscathed. In the case of driving somewhere unfamiliar or with poor visibility, always drive slowly, so you can brake easier in case anything happens, and pay attention to your surroundings attentively.\n\n\nHonorable Mention: Microsleep\u00a0\n\n\nWhile this isn\u2019t a leading case of road fatalities, the sudden rise of road accidents caused by microsleep should be honorably mentioned. Microsleep is similar to how we fall straight into sleep but it differentiates by people dozing off for a short period, mostly lasting for a few seconds when they are exhausted or sleep-deprived. Someone falling into microsleep on the road for a mere few seconds can be their ultimate demise.\u00a0\n\n\nNow that Malaysia has transitioned to an endemic state recovering from the fight with Covid-19, more and more office workers have been recalled back to the office, only to face the dreadful traffic jam on their daily commute to and from the office. For some workers or long-distance travelers after a long, exhausting day, they are much higher at risk of falling into microsleep. That few seconds of dozing off may be fatally dangerous.\u00a0\n\n\nTo mitigate microsleep, we urge you to get at least eight hours of sleep at home the night before. In addition, get some coffee or tea as a kicker to stay away before and during the journey. If you\u2019re feeling tired, try not to push it further and stop by the nearest petrol station or somewhere safe to get some shut-eye or a 30-minute power nap. Conversely, you can also blast some loud music and wind down the windows to get some fresh air.\u00a0\n\n\nA wise person who\u2019s frequents sanctioned track racing once told me \u2013 A car isn\u2019t just a vehicle, it\u2019s also a deadly weapon in the wrong hands. Just like one would do with a gun, one should be sound of mind and remain hyper-alert when using it.\u00a0\n\n\nThis article was originally published on\n Wapcar\u2019s news page\n.\u00a0\n\n", "Tags\nAccident\nCars\nDriving\nFlood tips\nLearning Centre", "Brian Wong", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Some mandatory signs which fall under this same category also have blue backgrounds and white pictograms.\n\n\n2. Warning Road Signs \n(\nRed, Yellow, or Black)\n\n\n \n \n\n\nThese warning signs are to provide information on road conditions in front of or adjacent that could be dangerous to road users.

Information Road Signs (Blue & White)\n\n\n\n\nInformation road signs are the ones that you would see most frequently used in Malaysia as they provide road users with general information about the road that they are using and the road ahead. These signs are usually in blue and white.\n\n\n5.

One wrong move and these dangerous actions could spell disaster for both the bully and you.\n\n\nSource: Tenor.com\n\n\nIf you encounter a road bully employing any of these tactics on you, stay calm and try to keep your distance from them. If they\u2019re driving too close to you, change your lanes, slow down safely and let them pass.\n\n\nREAD:\n \n7 Defensive Driving Tips That May Just Save Your Life\n\n\nThe Driver is Yelling Insults & Making Rude Gestures\n\n\nAnother aggressive behavior among road bullies is the use of verbal insults and rude gestures. These include yelling, hurling profanities, throwing rude gestures, and such. They might even flip you off as they pass your car.\u00a0\n\n\nIt\u2019s best to ignore these when they happen. You might be tempted to stoop down to their levels and retaliate, but it might lead to unnecessary situations. So, keeping your calm and continuing driving as usual is the best course of action.\n\n\nActions You Can Take When Confronted\n\n\nStay Calm\n\n\nIt\u2019s easy to panic when someone is targeting you while driving dangerously and recklessly. If you find yourself in such a situation, it\u2019s important to stay calm and do not respond to the situation aggressively.\n\n\nSource: Tenor.com\n\n\nTake a few deep breaths and keep your wits about you while you drive. Better yet, consider apologizing to the other driver or raise up one of your hands as a gesture to offer a sincere apology \u2013 this might pacify the driver. Otherwise, if the situation gets out of hand, drive cautiously to the nearest police station to seek help.\u00a0\n\n\nKeep Your Distance\n\n\nAlways keep your distance when confronted by a road bully. You don\u2019t have to speed up or weave through the traffic like an action movie star to get away from them. It\u2019s better to drive safely or according to the speed limit and steer away to allow the road bully to pass.\n\n\nStay Inside Your Car\n\n\nIf you have to stop for whatever reason with a road bully in your proximity, never step out of your car without someone you can trust. Make sure you park your car in a public space. Even if the road bully tries to damage your car, stay inside your car and keep your doors locked.\u00a0\n\n\nIf it escalates to a more worrisome situation, dial 999 to contact the police.\n\n\nSource: Tenor.com\n\n\nTake Note of Their Details\n\n\nA normal encounter with a road bully rarely escalates into something dangerous. But when it does, it\u2019s very helpful if you could pay close attention to the driver\u2019s details.\u00a0\n\n\nTry to remember important details such as:\n\n\n\n\nthe plate number;\n\n\ncar model; and\n\n\ncar color.\n\n\n\n\nYou can also record a video of the road bully in action as evidence of the situation if you opt to take legal action.\u00a0\n\n\nDrive Safely Always\n\n\nRemember, the best way is to remain calm when dealing with road bullies and keep your cool to avoid escalating the situation.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you sense or foresee possible danger, head to the nearest police station or dial 999 for help.\n\n\nNevertheless, if you are looking to buy a car, you can check out our quality refurbished Carsome Certified pre-owned cars that offer safety beyond standards, complete comfort, and refurbished aesthetics.\u00a0\n\n\nWith that, we wish you many safe journeys ahead.\u00a0\n\n\nBrowse for your dream car at \ncarsome.my\n and drive a Carsome Certified car today.\n\n", "Haziq Asyraf\nA self-proclaimed foodie and gamer whose passion for food and games has recently extended to cars.", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

As we\u2019ve all been in lockdown since March, some of us might miss long road trips for food, scenery and adventure. While nothing can replace the long drives and adventures, we hope this little kit will help keep the adventurer in you excited for the future!\n\n\n\n\nWhen you are preparing for a road trip, a whole lot of decisions need to be made. You have to decide if you want to go solo, with your friends or family. Then comes the location, where you would be staying, how long the road trip will take, where you are going to stop along the way and what needs to be prepped in your car for the journey. Now comes the most important decision \u2013 what music you will be jamming out to! As we all know, that is serious business. This playlist determines the overall mood of your road trip which in turn makes it a whole lot more memorable.\n\n\nAs good things must be shared, we have compiled 3 different playlists that caters for everyone with the best road trip songs to sing your heart out to along your adventure.\n\n\nJammin to the 90s\n\n\n\n\nThe 90s is one era most of us would love to relive. Though we would not want to go through the dial-up Jaring Internet or using the phone booth, this era had some great music that was energizing and exciting which is exactly what your road trip must be. Some of the highlights from this \nplaylist\n are songs from Spice Girls, Ricky Martin, Vanilla Ice, Will Smith and of course, the Backstreet Boys.\u00a0\n\n\nOldies but Goodies\n\n\n\n\nOld cassette tapes and CD discs might not be in trend any longer, but you can still jam to some of the best classic tunes from this \nplaylist\n. Who needs the \u201cI Spy With My Little Eye\u201d game when you can jam and pay tribute to the greatest old hits from Bruce Springsteen, Jolly Parton, Billy Joel, The Beatles and more?\u00a0\n\n\nCurrent Favourites\n\n\n\n\nThe current favourites \nplaylist\n features great songs from The Weeknd, Harry Styles, Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish and more. These songs are literally the best songs to jam to on any road trips they remind you of everything, the first time your crush said hi, your first outing with your close friends, your first breakup, your trip to the beach and many more which you would surely want to sing out loud during your road trip.\u00a0\n\n\nRoad Tripping at Home\n\n\n\n\nWhile the CMCO is here to stay for a while, there is absolutely no need for you to put the playlist on pause because here are other ways you can enjoy them at home.\n\n\nFood\n\n\nMissing the famous Char Kuey Teow in Penang, Banana Leaf Rice in Klang or Nasi Kerabu in Kelantan? You can pick one or two menus you might have on your previous road trip and make it at home all while jamming out to the songs in the background. You can always DIY it or get the exact recipe online. You never know, you might just become the next MasterChef! But, if cooking is not your forte, you can always order food from the various online food delivery services that deliver straight to your doorstep.\n\n\nFriends/Family\n\n\nDuring this lockdown, you might not get the chance to meet your loved ones often. So gather those that you would be taking along on your road trip virtually via Zoom, Skype or any other preferred online video calling services. You can eat together virtually, play some games, share your deepest, darkest secrets, or even have a virtual karaoke session with the road trip playlist.\n\n\nWe hope these playlists will keep you going till your next real road trip. Play it anytime you want, anywhere you want all while adhering to the given SOPs. Let\u2019s fight this virus together so that the curve can be flattened, and things can go back to how it was before.\n\n\nLooking to sell your car or buy a new car? \nCarsome\n is open as usual, with strict SOPs in place!

The longest operating car on record is a 1904 model owned by Thomas Love Jr. of Perth, Scotland.\n\n\nIn addition to cars, Rolls-Royce also builds engines for airplanes.\n\n\nThe Rolls-Royce vehicle manufacturing division was separated from its parent company in 1973 and became the popular Rolls-Royce Motors.\n\n\nMost Rolls-Royce models use BMW technology and components which are then rebuilt to Rolls-Royce specifications and standards.\n\n\nUnlike many other car brands, Rolls-Royce engines are still manually assembled by engineers\n\n\nThe Rolls-Royce Phantom took two months to complete because it was done manually. It had 200 aluminum parts and 300 alloy steel parts.\u00a0\n\n\nAs Rolls Royce offers nearly 44,000 existing color options for their cars, some customers face difficulty in choosing their ultimate color palette.\u00a0\n\n\nThe Spirit of Ecstasy statue first came into use in 1922. Today, it features modern technology that allows it to be hidden inside the front grille to prevent theft.\u00a0\n\n\nRolls-Royce alloy rims are always placed in a vertical position.

In an open letter from the Chairman and CEO of Rolls-Royce, the decision was made based on customer demand and the drive to innovate.\n\n\n\n\nTaking on the project name as Cullinan, the development had a checklist of characteristics that it needed to have. It goes without saying that apart from the brand\u2019s promise of effortless luxury, it had to be a high-bodied car with an all-new aluminium architecture, and most of all, a car that can cross any terrain.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnd cross terrain it did. Just before launch, Rolls-Royce together with National Geographic showcased a series called \u201cThe Final Challenge\u201d, it was meant to document the Cullinan on an extreme around-the-world durability test. Beginning in the Highlands of Scotland to the deserts of the Middle East and the toughest terrains in the United States, the Final Challenge is one that aims to establish the new SUV to the early years of the brand. This was the time when its two founding fathers, Charles Rolls and Henry Royce used their adventures with the original Ghost as testament to the cars\u2019 durability and engineering excellence. The result? Top honours in the rigourous Scottish Reliability Trials, London-to-Edinburgh Event and the Alpine Trials.\n\n\n\n\nWe must readily admit that we have never seen the words \u201ctested to destruction\u201d, ever been used in any press release or marketing material for any automotive brand or vehicle until now.\n\n\n\n\nKnowing that the engineering team finetuned the stance and height of the Cullinan to ensure that it was able to ford rivers and traverse rough ground, without compromising the on-road capability is testament to what the brand wanted with its first-ever SUV. It has certainly paid off. Having spent a few hours behind the wheel and as a passenger in the world\u2019s most luxurious SUV, this is what we experienced.\n\n\n\n\nThe Rolls-Royce name is one that is synonymous with quality and luxury. Their over 110 year of car making experience has earned them the reputation of being the best, and with that, the association of a robustly well-made product. Their cars till today are put together by hand, and while robots are used to paint the base coat on the vehicle\u2019s body, the process of spraying, polishing, and finishing is done by hand.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nUnderstanding this attention to detail is the first step needed when viewing the exterior of the Cullinan.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nOf all the exacting areas that you\u2019ll be able to notice with the Cullinan, one part that still humbles us is the coachline that runs across the beltline of a Rolls. The optional finishing touch in the Bespoke department, the coachline is meticulously hand painted by Mark Court, who does each five-metre pinstripe line by hand using brushes made from ox and squirrel hair.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDespite this, Court\u2019s position as master painter can include works from calligraphy, coat of arms, figurines and more. As an example, a one-of-one Bespoke Rolls-Royce Ghost \u2018KoChaMongKol\u2019 introduced in 2016 had elephant motifs on the car\u2019s bodywork to celebrate Thailand\u2019s most auspicious and revered animal. All this is more impressive considering that Court is the sole person in all of Rolls-Royce responsible for all these works.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe moment you enter the cabin, the quality of materials throughout the vehicle is majestic to another degree. Door handle pulls, structural trims and buttons are all to the touch, weighted metal pieces that have been intricately polished, while upholstery on this opulent SUV is the use of \u2018Box-grain\u2019 leather \u2013 high-end leather used in the Italian fashion industry to make luggage and handbags.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nInterior colour of Scivaro Grey with Black and Mandarin have been selected for the unit we reviewed, together with veneered open pore Blackwood and Chevron Wood for that touch of warmth. As for the floor lining? Thick carpet with even thicker lambswool floor mats that felt like a misdeed to have our shoes on.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDriving off in the Cullinan is an experience in itself \u2013 a smooth and effortless cruise that Rolls-Royce calls the \u2018magic carpet ride\u2019. How all this comes together is in the combination of the incredibly stiff chassis, abundance in power from the 563 hp V12 engine, 8-speed satellite aided transmission and the self-levelling air suspension system. But what makes this experience very different from the get-go is the absence of outside noise. Here the silence in the car is thanks to over 100 kg of soundproofing in the body that isolates the occupants from outside noises.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDid we go off-road in the Cullinan? Unfortunately, no. Nevertheless we don\u2019t doubt the capabilities of the SUV going off the beaten path. Should the driver decide to visit areas without tarmac present, it can be done easily with the sole \u2018Off Road\u2019 button that activates all-wheel drive for optimum performance, raises the suspension by 40 mm. The suspension has a 40 mm increase and decrease in height, a total of 80 mm, it can sit lower to make it easier for entry and egress.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe individual seats specified on the test Cullinan come with a fixed rear centre console that houses a drinks cabinet \u2013 Rolls-Royce decanter, whisky glasses, champagne flutes and a mini fridge. This also goes without saying that the seats have massage and ventilation functions built right in. Together with the Rear Theatre configuration with touchscreen displays and the 18-speaker Bespoke audio system, sitting at the rear is truly special.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nFor the tech driven, there\u2019s a whole list of equipment including a TV tuner, DAB tuner, Night Vision, Head Up Display, Surround View, USB C ports and more. As for the safety front, there\u2019s the standard assistance list and the following: Cornering Brake Control, Brake Standby, Limit Range Feedback, Drive-off Assistant, Yaw Moment Compensation, Rear Axle Slip Angle Control and Dynamic Handling Total Drive Torque Intervention, many of which we have yet to comprehend.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIt needs to be understood that almost every Rolls-Royce that leaves the factory is bespoke. This comes from the fact that stems from what the brand represents, the customisation options, and the detail that goes into building each car. For the great Sir Henry Royce once said, \u201cStrive for perfection in everything you do. Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it.\u201d\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWant to know more about the Cullinan? \nClick here\n to find out!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n", "Tags\nCars\nDriving\nLifestyle\nReviews", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Do they drive the same as regular tires? Can you install them on your car? In this article, we\u2019ll answer these questions and help you determine if you should get run-flat tires.\n\n\n\n\nWhat are Run-Flat Tires?\n\n\nA run-flat tire is designed to be safe to use even after it suffers a puncture. That means if your tire gets punctured, you won\u2019t need to stop by the side of the road, which can lead to a risky situation. Instead, run-flat tires have just enough sturdiness to get you to a workshop and get it changed.\u00a0\n\n\nHow Do Run-Flat Tires Work?\n\n\nRun-flat tires have thicker, stiffer, reinforced sidewalls with multiple layers of rubber and heat-resistant cord. When a \nregular tire\n gets punctured, it deflates and loses its shape. As a result, it doesn\u2019t provide enough cushioning between the road and wheel. If you continue to drive with a flat tire, the rubber can break off and totally expose the metal of the wheel which can cause even more damage to your car.\u00a0\n\n\nWhen a run-flat tire gets punctured and loses air, it doesn\u2019t deflate like a regular tire. Instead, the reinforced sidewalls of the tire provide structural support and help it keep its shape so you can keep driving. While most cars do not come with run-flat tires by default, more modern cars, especially luxury brands come with them installed. Since you\u2019ll barely notice any deflation on a run-flat tire, vehicles fitted with these tires from the factory usually have a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that detects air pressure loss and alerts the driver about it.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nA Guide to Car Warning Lights\n\n\n\n\nImage Source: \nDunlop\n\n\nHow to Identify Run-Flat Tires\n\n\nModern cars that come with run-flat tires don\u2019t have a spare tire in the boot. So if you notice that you don\u2019t have a spare tire, your car could have run-flats. BMW and Lexus are manufacturers that most commonly fit run-flat tires across their range\u00a0\n\n\nYou can also identify a run-flat tire based on the code written on the tire sidewall. However, since there is no standard code for this type of tire, it can vary between manufacturers. Below are some of the codes found on run-flat tires.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrand\n\n\nRun Flat Tire Code\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBridgestone\n\n\nRFT (Run-Flat Tire)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDunlop\n\n\nDSST (Dunlop Self Supporting Tire)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContinental\n\n\nSSR (Self Supporting Run Flat)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMichelin\n\n\nZP\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGoodyear\n\n\nEMT (Extended Mobility Tire)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPirelli\n\n\nRSC (Run-flat System Component) or just printed \u2018Run Flat\u2019\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYokohama\n\n\nRF (Run Flat)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice of Run Flat-Tires in Malaysia\n\n\nRun-flat tires are more expensive than regular tires. Like regular tires, they vary in price depending on their brand, size, and other factors. Also, they generally come in sizes of 17-inches and above which means they are designed for luxury and larger cars. The price of run-flat tires in Malaysia can range from RM700 to over RM1500 per tire. However, you may be able to find cheaper options when you buy older, unused tires. Tires that are two to three years old and have been stored properly indoors are generally fine to use and offer good value if you can get them at a discounted price.\n\n\nHow Long Do Run-Flat Tires Last?\n\n\nRun-flat tires are made of the same materials and have a similar tread pattern or construction as conventional tires, so they should last as long as regular tires. That said, the lifespan of any tire can vary depending on your driving habits, climate, road condition, and how well you maintain your tires.\u00a0\n\n\nIt\u2019s recommended to replace your tires every six years, though you may need to replace it earlier if you have worn tire treads or damaged tires. To extend the lifespan of your tires, make sure to maintain the right pressure and rotate them once every six months or every 10,000 kilometers.\n\n\n\n\nRun-Flat Tire Tips\n\n\nAlthough run-flat tires last as long as regular tires and require the same amount of care, there are some things you should know when using them.\n\n\nDriving on Run-Flat Tires\n\n\nThe main purpose of run-flat tires is to allow you to drive safely to a location where you can replace your tires in the event they get punctured. This prevents you from having to stop your car on the road and replace your tires in a risky environment. That said, punctured run-flat tires have limited mileage and have to be replaced immediately.\u00a0\n\n\nOnce punctured, you have to reduce your driving speed. Check your tire manufacturer\u2019s specification for the maximum speed and distance you should be able to drive on. Most run-flats can run for a maximum speed of 80 km/h for up to 80 kilometers. You shouldn\u2019t repair a run-flat tire as its structural strength may have been compromised after a puncture. However, you can temporarily patch up small punctures like how you would on regular tires.\n\n\nCan You Fit Run-Flat Tires on Older Vehicles?\n\n\nWhile you can install run-flat tires on older vehicles, you may need to make some changes to your \nvehicle\u2019s suspension\n. Since these tires are stiffer, they can contribute to a stiffer ride. Since you probably won\u2019t notice a puncture when you drive on run-flat tires, you should install a TPMS to alert you in case of a puncture. This will let you know that you need to drive within the limits of your punctured tire and get it replaced immediately.\n\n\nCan You Replace Run-Flat Tires with Regular Tires?\n\n\nOn a vehicle fitted with original equipment (OE) run-flat tires, the manufacturer has adjusted the suspension to suit the tires. Therefore, it\u2019s often not recommended to install regular tires on vehicles designed to use run-flats. That said, it is indeed possible. If you do choose to replace your run-flats with regular tires, be sure to choose tires with the correct size, speed rating, and load index. You should also replace all four tires and not mix run-flats with regular tires. Also, don\u2019t forget to carry a spare tire and tire changing kit in your vehicle.\n\n\nRead More: \nCar Care and Driving Tips for The Rainy Season\n\n\nPros and Cons of Run-Flat Tires\n\n\nRun-flat tires can be extremely helpful in case your tire gets punctured on the road. However, they may not be for everyone. Here are the pros and cons of using run-flat tires.\n\n\nPros:\n\n\n\n\nAllows you to drive on a flat tire: \nYou don\u2019t have to stop at the side of the road or get out in the rain to change a punctured tire.\n\n\nHas better stability after a blowout:\n Unlike a regular tire, a run-flat tire can maintain its shape following a blowout and still support the weight of your car. This gives you near-normal steering and handling so you can get to a nearby workshop.\n\n\nLowers vehicle weight:\n Since there\u2019s no need to carry a spare tire and tools, the overall weight of the vehicle is reduced. You\u2019ll also have more space in the boot.\n\n\n\n\nCons:\n\n\n\n\nHigher costs:\n Run-flat tires tend to cost more than regular ones, averaging around 25 percent more.\n\n\nNo spare tire:\n While you can drive your car to a nearby workshop to get its tires changed in case of a puncture, it can be a problem if you ever need a spare tire.\n\n\nHarsher ride quality:\n The stiffer sidewalls on these tires result in a harsher ride. That said, cars that come with run-flat tires from the factory are tuned by the manufacturer to offset the harsh ride.\n\n\nLess choice available:\n Run-flat tires aren\u2019t as widely used as regular tires so they are not as widely available. They also tend to come in larger sizes. While you shouldn\u2019t have problems finding the tire you need in the city, you might need to pre-order them a few days ahead if you\u2019re in a small town.\n\n\nHard to diagnose a puncture:\n It\u2019s hard to tell if your tires are low on air when you have run-flats. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to have a working TPMS on board and check your tire pressure frequently.\n\n\n\n\nRun-flat tires are great on the off-chance that you encounter a flat tire while on the road. That said, whichever type of tires your car is fitted with, remember to keep your tires properly maintained and they\u2019ll serve you well.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a \npre-owned car\n with excellent value, check out CARSOME. Our CARSOME Certified cars have gone through a 175-point inspection and professional refurbishment to ensure that every part of the car, including the tires, is in good condition. During the refurbishment process, we ensure that the tires on our cars have a minimum tread depth of 2.2 millimeters, or we\u2019ll switch them out. This surpasses global safety standards by 25%.\n\n\nEach CARSOME Certified car even comes with a five-day money-back guarantee and a one-year warranty for your peace of mind.\n\n", "Devan S\nDevan believes written content is here to stay despite our depleting attention span and the rise of short videos.

Mari kami perkenalkan sebuah syarikat tempatan yang boleh menjadikan EV ni bukan lagi satu angan-angan.\u00a0\n\n\nSebuah syarikat teknologi di Malaysia, EV Innovations memulakan satu inisiatif untuk menjadikan EV ini bukan lagi hanya boleh digunakan oleh golongan atasan tetapi juga untuk semua golongan.\u00a0\n\n\nDan untuk permulaan, EV Innovations ini telah memperkenalkan projek MyKar, projek menukar kereta yang menggunakan petrol kepada EV. Dan antara model kereta yang ditukarkan ialah si kecil Perodua Axia.\u00a0\n\n\nBukan EV Yang Pertama\n\n\n\n\nSebenarnya Axia Elektrik yang dihasilkan oleh EV Innovations ini bukanlah yang pertama. Axia Elektrik atau MyKar 3.0 ini merupakan model ketiga (sebab itu namanya MyKar 3.0). Sebelum ini mereka telah menukar Honda Jazz untuk model pertama (MyKar 1.0) dan juga Proton Arena untuk model seterusnya (MyKar 2.0)\u00a0\n\n\nOh ya, kalau anda lupa macam mana rupa Proton Arena, ini gambarnya:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: WapCar\n\n\nDan ini pula Honda Jazz yang telah ditukarkan kepada EV. Macam Tesla Model X pun ada, kan?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: WapCar\n\n\nBuang Yang Lama, Pasang Yang Baharu\u00a0\n\n\nTapi macam mana EV Innovations ni ubah kereta yang gunakan petrol kepada EV? Secara konsepnya mudah saja. Mereka buang semua komponen yang tak perlu. Enjin, motor, kotak gear, tangki minyak, transmisi dan pasang yang baru.\u00a0\n\n\nApa yang mereka pasang? Motor elektrik, sistem pengurusan bateri (BMS), bateri lithium fosfat, wayar yang berjela-jela panjangnya, dan lain-lain komponen lain untuk membolehkan sebuah EV bergerak.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDan dah pasti, proses ubah suai ni tak percuma ya. Menurut EV Innovation, mengubah suai kereta ini menelan kos sebanyak RM50,000. Mungkin agak mahal tetapi dengan pengeluaran massa, EV Innovation memberitahu kemungkinan kos ini boleh dikurangkan hingga lebih separuh.\u00a0\n\n\nKelebihan Berbanding Beli EV Baharu\n\n\nSeperti yang dikatakan sebelum ini, EV Innovation kini sedang menumpukan daripada segi penyelidikan dan pembangunan untuk membangunkan kit EV. Dengan kit EV ini, apa sahaja kereta boleh ditukarkan menjadi EV.\n\n\n1. Tak Perlu Beli Kereta Baharu\n\n\nSecara mudahnya begini, dengan adanya kit EV ini, anda tak perlu lagi beli EV baharu. Di. Anda masih memandu kereta yang sama cuma kini ia menggunakan tenaga elektrik. Kos ubah suai juga lebih murah daripada harga EV baharu.\u00a0\n\n\nOh ya, EV juga tak perlukan servis major yang mahal. Jadi, anda perlu belanjakan RM0.00 untuk kos servis kereta. Tiada minyak enjin perlu ditukar. Mungkin sedikit pemeriksaan rutin untuk pastikan semua bahagian kereta dalam keadaan baik. Itu saja yang diperlukan.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Stesen Minyak? Apa Tu?\u00a0\n\n\nDan antara kelebihan menggunakan EV ini ialah ia lebih menjimatkan berbanding kereta yang menggunakan petrol. EV Axia Elektrik oleh EV Innovation ini mempunyai kapasiti bateri sebanyak 23 kWh dengan jarak pemanduan sebanyak 220km.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Harga Lebih Murah Dari Dinner Plate KFC.\u00a0\n\n\nAndaikan kos penggunaan elektrik sebanyak RM0.50 untuk setiap kWh, bermakna setiap caj penuh dengan jarak pemanduan sejauh 220km ini hanya menelan kos sebanyak RM11.50. Cuba anda bayangkan berapa liter petrol boleh dibeli dengan harga RM11.50?\u00a0\n\n\nSama seperti gajet yang lain, kereta ini juga boleh dicas pada waktu malam. Tapi pastikan anda jangan lupa nak hidupkan palam. Kalau tak, mungkin bateri kereta akan \u2018kong\u2019 di tengah jalan!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTapi Selamat Ke Guna EV Ni?\u00a0\n\n\nSetakat ini, EV sangat-sangat selamat digunakan kerana ia telah pun dilengkapi dengan pelbagai ciri keselamatan. Kalau anda nak tahu, teknologi EV ni sebenarnya bukanlah teknologi yang baharu.\u00a0\n\n\nIa telah wujud lebih 150 tahun daripada tahun 1832 lagi. Perkembangan teknologi EV merentasi zaman telah menjadikan ia lebih selamat sekarang. Ini termasuklah kit EV dan MyKar hasil inovasi daripada EV Innovation ini.\u00a0\n\n\nMenurut \nEV Innovations\n , sistem pengurusan tenaga elektrik dalam kit EV mereka sangat efesien dan selamat. Jika kereta dicas dan ia telah penuh, sistem pengurusan bateri (Battery Management system-BMS) akan serta merta menghentikan cas ke bateri kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPengecasan bateri juga lebih selamat kerana EV Innovation turut akan menyediakan stesen pengecas yang boleh menjadikan proses pengecasan kenderaan lebih selamat. Anda boleh saja cas menggunakan palam kuasa biasa di dinding rumah anda. Tapi lebih selamat kalau anda cas melalui stesen kuasa yang diberikan.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan : \nKereta Elektrik Murah dan Berbaloi Bawah RM100,000\n\n\nYang Tak Best Tentang EV\n\n\nSebenarnya, ada beberapa kekurangan jika anda memiliki EV ini termasuklah kereta yang ditukar menggunakan kit EV daripada EV Innovation ini. Antara yang paling jelas adalah jika pemilik tinggal di kawasan perumahan tinggi seperti apartmen dan kondominium.\u00a0\n\n\nIni menyukarkan untuk memasang stesen pengecas untuk mengecas EV mereka. Kerana apa? Perumahan seperti kondominium dan apartmen ini hanya mempunyai tempat letak kereta komunal yang dikongsi beramai-ramai dengan penduduk lain.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWalaupun pemilik dah ada tempat letak kereta sendiri, ini masih lagi sukar memandangkan tempat letak kereta ini diuruskan oleh pihak pengurusan perumahan jadi, akan ada kesukaran sedikit seperti siapa yang akan menanggung kos elektrik yang digunakan.\u00a0\n\n\nTetapi, benda boleh dibawa bincang. Mungkin pemilik boleh berbincang dengan pihak pengurusan perumahan tentang pemasangan stesen kuasa ini dan mungkin pemilik yang akan menanggung kos elektrik yang digunakan di kawasan tempat letak kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nLepas Ni, Anda Tak Perlu Lagi Berangan Kalau Nak Pakai EV\n\n\nDengan usaha daripada syarikat seperti EV Innovation ini, nak pakai EV kini bukan lagi angan-angan. EV kini boleh digunakan oleh semua golongan masyarakat. Dengan ini juga kita boleh mengurangkan pengeluaran karbon daripada asap kenderaan dengan penggunaan EV yang lebih meluas.\u00a0\n\n\nYang paling penting, anda boleh berjimat apabila menggunakan EV. Ucapkan selamat tinggal kepada petrol dan dapatkan penjimatan yang banyak sambil menyelamatkan alam sekitar.\u00a0\n\n\nBeli Kereta Dengan Ketenangan Minda Hanya Di CARSOME\n\n\nCARSOME mungkin belum lagi menjual kereta EV tapi apa yang kami boleh janjikan adalah kesemua kereta kami telah menjalani pemeriksaan 175-titik dan pembaikpulihan yang profesional merangkumi pembaikan am dan mekanikal, termasuklah baik pulih badan dan cat kereta. Sekalipun dikira sekali kos baik pulih, harga kereta CARSOME Certified masih lagi berpatutan dan tidak ada kos tersembunyi untuk pembaikan \u2013 ia adalah sesuatu yang kami pastikan supaya kami boleh menyediakan kereta pramilik yang melebihi taraf.\u00a0\n\n\nDapatkan kereta idaman anda di \ncarsome.my\n!\n\n", "Tags\nEV\nkereta elektrik\nTesla", "Amarnath", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

That means being dressed comfortably but more importantly, safely,\u00a0 by paying attention to the clothes and shoes you drive in.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re still scratching your head as to the importance of proper dressing while operating a vehicle, just look back at the dress code strictly enforced during your driving course and the subsequent driving examination you underwent before receiving your \u201cP\u201d \nlicense\n.\n\n\nThe Road Transport Department (JPJ) isn\u2019t out to make life difficult for you. The dress code it enforces during the theoretical and practical segments of the driving test does reflect safe driving practices while behind the wheel.\n\n\n\n\nHow Your Footwear Affects Your Driving\n\n\nAs an easy example of how your clothes affect your driving, let\u2019s look at the shoes you drive in, specifically the prohibition of slippers or sandals when you take your theory or practical test during the driving course.\n\n\nSimply put, it\u2019s a lot safer to be operating the pedals with shoes because the correct position of your feet on the pedal should be with the heel resting on the floor and the ball of your feet modulating pressure on the pedal with your ankle functioning as the pivot.\n\n\nIn the case of slippers or sandals, open footwear such as those are able to move around independently of your feet and could get stuck under the pedal or provide insufficient feedback to your feet.\n\n\nRead More: \nHow to Drive Safely Through a Flooded Road\n\n\nThe same goes for high heels. Driving whilst wearing high heels are dangerous and could lead to a crash. If you\u2019re wearing high heels, your foot\u2019s heel will be elevated from the floor and you won\u2019t be able to properly judge the amount of pressure to apply on the pedal.\n\n\nTherefore, ladies, it\u2019s highly recommended that you keep a simple pair of slip-on shoes in the car for driving if you\u2019re sporting some high heels for a night out.\n\n\nIs Driving Without Shoes Illegal?\n\n\nSo, does that mean driving with slippers/sandals or driving without shoes is illegal? Well, yes and no. There\u2019s no real short answer here so let\u2019s delve into the details.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re operating a private vehicle, you can\u2019t be fined for driving with slippers/sandals or barefooted. However, drivers of commercial vehicles as well as e-hailing drivers are not only required to wear covered shoes but long pants as well.\n\n\nThe latter can be fined if they are caught operating commercial vehicles (taxi, bus, lorry, van) or doing e-hailing duties in slippers/sandals or if wearing shorts. Drivers of these vehicles fall under the Goods Driving Licence (GDL) or Public Service Vehicles (PSV) license categories.\n\n\nIt can be quite a \nhefty fine\n as well at RM150 if caught without the proper attire.\n\n\nJust in case you\u2019re curious, the law regarding covered shoes for PSV drivers falls under the Public Service Vehicles (Licensing and Conduct of Drivers, Conductors, and Passengers) Rule 1959.\n\n\nRead More: \n7 Defensive Driving Tips That May Just Save Your Life\n\n\n\n\nSo What Are the Best Shoes for a Safer Drive?\n\n\nThis brings us to the fundamental question of \u201cIs driving barefooted dangerous?\u201d\n\n\nCircling back to the point of \u201cfeeling\u201d the pedal to gauge the appropriate pressure, it\u2019s logical that barefooted would be the best method as there\u2019s no extra layer underneath your sole\u00a0 to desensitize the feedback.\n\n\nNonetheless, from a broader perspective, the cons outweigh the pros. Tactile feel apart, there isn\u2019t really anything else going for barefooted driving.\n\n\nIn fact, the reason JPJ recommends not driving barefooted is in the event of an emergency, you\u2019ll want as much protection around your feet in case the footwell caves in or if you need to make a quick exit right after an \naccident\n. In the case of the latter, you wouldn\u2019t want to jump out on the road with debris and probably shards of glass barefooted, would you?\n\n\nIf you have shoes on while driving, your feet will be protected if the footwell caves in or if you need to hop out. After all, nobody will have time to flail about looking for their shoes or putting them on in the event of an accident.\n\n\nFurthermore, wet pedals or perspiration from your feet could cause your soles to slip off the pedal or apply sudden jolts of pressure. This could certainly lead to a crash.\n\n\nHowever, it\u2019s pertinent to point out that not all shoes are suitable for driving as well. Shoes with thick or stiff soles would make it difficult to modulate the pedal or receive tactile feedback.\n\n\nThe best shoes to drive in shouldn\u2019t have a sole that\u2019s too thick or too thin, have enough grip from the sole and be flexible enough for ample modulation.\n\n\nToo thick of a sole and you\u2019ll lose that tactile feel, too thin and it might hurt if you have to apply maximum braking force in an emergency. If there\u2019s no grip from the sole, your leg could slip off the pedal, much like driving with slippers/sandals or barefooted. If the sole is too stiff, it\u2019ll be difficult to pivot your foot from the ankle to modulate the pedal.\n\n\nOther Clothes That Help Promote Safe Driving\n\n\nAlthough it might seem trivial from a surface level, there\u2019s a reason behind the encouragement of proper attire while driving by JPJ.\n\n\nFrom the footwear, the very same logic can be applied to wearing long pants. It adds a slight layer of protection from scratches in the event of a crash to your calves.\n\n\nMoving further up the torso, a collared T-shirt would also prevent the seatbelt from causing abrasions on your neck during a hard impact.\n\n\nEssentially, you\u2019ll want to be well-covered but also comfortable behind the wheel. The reasoning behind the latter is to prevent restrictive clothing from slowing down the movement of your arms or legs if the need for sudden corrective inputs is required.\n\n\n\n\nSimilarly, tight jeans without any stretch would hamper movement of the legs. Pants with some stretch in them would be easier to move about, especially if you need to jump out of the car quickly post-impact.\n\n\nHaving said that, a layer of clothing over your legs or arms would be helpful in preventing abrasions, though something like a stiff leather jacket isn\u2019t what we have in mind. It hinders movement of the elbows when executing full turns of the steering wheel. Therefore, something lighter with more freedom of movement is always going to be safer.\n\n\nRead More: \nHow to Check Malfunctions in Car Safety Features Before It\u2019s Too Late!\n\n\nPeripheral awareness is another important factor to consider. The area of a blind spot on your side can be reduced with a quick glance to said side before changing lanes or making a turn. Furthermore, while driving in general, it\u2019s absolutely imperative that you be aware of the vehicles or space on your sides. A quick glance would make you aware of what\u2019s there and what isn\u2019t.\n\n\nSticking with that, thick scarfs would restrict your neck\u2019s movement in making a quick glance. It almost feels like a neck brace to a certain extent. If you need to wear one, opt for a thin, light scarf that doesn\u2019t constrict neck movement. Additionally, it goes a long way in keeping the skin on your neck safe if a crash happens and the seatbelt holds you back.\n\n\nAll these laws are implemented not only for your safety but for that of other road users as well. It\u2019s definitely not because JPJ wants to make your life difficult.\n\n\nTherefore, remember that when you\u2019re behind the wheel, it\u2019s better to dress for comfort and safety than fashion and form.\n\n\nAt CARSOME, we put all our cars through a stringent 175-point inspection and professional refurbishment to ensure their safety and comfort.\u00a0\n\n\nSo if you\u2019re looking for a safe and quality car, visit \nCARSOME\n today or download our app from the \nGoogle Play Store\n or \nApple App Store\n!\n\n", "Amarnath", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Illness, disease, for overtime working concept.", "Duduk terlalu lama dalam posisi yang sama tanpa pergerakan aktif terutamanya semasa memandu boleh meningkatkan risiko sakit belakang. Individu yang berulang-alik bekerja dengan kereta atau menghabiskan banyak masa di jalan raya akibat \ntraffic jammed\n dan sebagainya terdedah kepada risiko ini. Menurut kajian yang diterbitkan oleh\n International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health\n, individu yang terdedah kepada getaran seluruh badan atau \nwhole-body vibration\n seperti pemandu kereta berisiko sakit belakang dua kali ganda lebih tinggi berbanding individu lain.\n\n\n\n\nSakit belakang semasa memandu mungkin tidak memberi impak yang signifikan kepada anda hari ini. Namun jika dipertimbangkan kesan jangka panjang, ia mungkin boleh boleh mengganggu aktiviti seharian dan menyebabkan ketidakselesaan. Tekanan pada tulang belakang semasa duduk dikatakan lebih besar berbanding semasa berdiri. \nTekanan\n \nyang dikenakan pada tulang belakang ketika duduk terutamanya semasa memandu dikatakan lebih besar berbanding duduk untuk makan, bekerja dan menonton televisyen. Ini kerana, semasa memandu anda terdedah kepada daya dan tekanan lain semasa memecut, memperlahankan kenderaan dan sebagainya.\n\n\nTips Kurangkan Sakit Belakang Semasa Memandu Jauh, \nTraffic Jammed\n\n\nFaktor-faktor luaran seperti posisi duduk, reka bentuk kerusi yang tidak baik menambahkan risiko sakit belakang lebih-lebih lagi jika memandu terlalu lama. Carsome menyenaraikan tips sebelum, semasa dan selepas memandu yang boleh anda pertimbangkan untuk mengurangkan impak sakit belakang terhadap diri anda.\n\n\ni. Sebelum Memandu\n\n\nSebelum memulakan perjalanan, amalkan langkah pencegahan yang betul untuk mengelakkan sakit belakang sekiranya perlu memandu untuk tempoh yang lama. Pastikan posisi kerusi, pemandu dan komponen lain dalam kereta berada dalam keadaan yang sesuai. Jika aspek sebegini diabaikan, ia boleh\u00a0meningkatkan risiko sakit belakang.\n\n\nSudut Kerusi Kereta\n\n\nOptimumkan kedudukan kerusi kereta\u00a0 anda \u2013 laraskan kedudukan kerusi secara menegak dengan sudut kerusi yang disyorkan antara 100 hingga 110 darjah. Dengan cara ini, anda boleh menyandarkan belakang badan anda sepenuhnya pada kerusi anda. Elakkan sudut kerusi yang lebih condong daripada sudut yang disyorkan. Ia boleh menyebabkan postur kepala dan leher yang tidak selesa yang mungkin boleh menjejaskan kualiti pemanduan anda.\n\n\nLaraskan Kerusi Kereta Mengikut Keperluan\n\n\nAnda juga disarankan untuk mengubah kedudukan kerusi kereta sama ada ke hadapan atau ke belakang mengikut keperluan anda. Namun begitu, pastikan jarak antara kerusi kereta dan pedal kereta adalah ideal (tidak terlalu jauh atau tidak terlalu dekat). Jarak yang tidak ideal boleh menyebabkan ketidakselesaan \u2013 pastikan lutut anda sedikit bengkok sekitar 90 darjah ketika menekan klac atau semasa menekan pedal brek.\n\n\nKedudukan Stereng, Penyandar Kepala dan Cermin Sisi\n\n\nPastikan kerusi kereta berada pada kedudukan yang selesa dan cukup dekat dengan stereng bagi memastikan postur badan bahagian atas tidak membongkok semasa memandu. Anda seharusnya boleh merehatkan pergelangan tangan anda pada stereng tanpa perlu menggerakkan atau membongkokkan badan anda ke hadapan. Selain itu, laraskan kedudukan stereng (tinggi atau rendah) bergantung pada keselesaan anda.\n\n\nBagi penyandar kepala atau \nheadrest\n pula, laraskan kedudukan sehingga bahagian tengah kusyen berada betul-betul di bahagian tengah belakang kepala anda. Cermin sisi juga perlu dilaraskan mengikut kesesuaian sehingga anda boleh melihat pandangan belakang dengan hanya mengerakkan mata tanpa perlu menggerakan badan anda. Cara ini juga dapat membantu anda mengamalkan tabiat duduk yang betul.\n\n\nSokongan Lumber atau \nLumbar Support\n\n\nSelain itu, anda juga boleh mempertimbangkan pembelian aksesori kerusi kereta tambahan seperti kusyen kereta (\nlumbar support cushion\n).\u00a0Kebanyakan kerusi kereta hari ini menampilkan reka bentuk yang tidak ergonamik, sokongan lumber yang tidak mencukupi dan tidak sesuai dengan bentuk badan. Penggunaan aksesori sebegini dapat membantu memberi kelegaan dan menanggani masalah sakit belakang terutamanya semasa perjalanan jauh atau lama.\u00a0Anda juga boleh mendapatkan penyelesaian mudah dengan membuat sokongan lumber anda sendiri \u2013 menggulung baju dan meletakkannya di bahagian belakang badan anda.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nii. Semasa Memandu\n\n\nDuduk dalam satu posisi untuk satu tempoh masa yang lama di dalam kereta boleh menyebabkan sakit belakang dan kekejangan otot. Jika anda perlu memandu jauh atau tersekat dalam \ntraffic jammed\n, rancang perjalanan anda seperti lokasi R&R yang perlu anda singgah. Jika perlu, keluar dari kereta supaya anda dapat melakukan regangan ringkas. Pergerakan sebegini mampu merangsang peredaran darah yang membekalkan nutrien dan oksigen ke bahagian tulang belakang anda.\n\n\nKosongkan Poket Belakang\n\n\nIni merupakan perkara yang biasa yang sering dilakukan oleh golongan pemandu lelaki. Anda disarankan untuk mengeluarkan item daripada poket belakang anda seperti dompet, telefon bimbit, kunci dan sebagainya semasa memandu. Ini kerana, tabiat duduk dengan item-item ini masih tersimpan di poket belakang boleh menyebabkan kedudukan yang tidak asimetri semasa duduk. Ia sekali gus boleh menyebabkan kerosakan pada saraf-saraf utama di bahagian pinggul.\n\n\nItem seperti dompet misalnya, jika tidak dikeluarkan daripada poket semasa duduk boleh memberi tekanan kepada saraf. Ketidakseimbangan pada sistem saraf, tulang dan otot ini secara tidak langsung boleh menyebabkan sakit belakang atau sakit pinggang. Ia mungkin tidak memberi impak yang ketara pada peringkat permulaan, namun ia boleh menjadi lebih buruk dari semasa ke semasa yang boleh menjejaskan kualiti kesihatan tulang belakang anda.\n\n\nBerhenti Seketika untuk Berehat\n\n\nUbah kedudukan duduk semasa memandu setiap 20 minit bagi menukar tekanan pada tulang belakang anda. Jika anda perlu memandu untuk tempoh masa yang lebih lama, anda disarankan untuk berhenti seketika untuk berehat sekurang-kurangnya setiap dua jam. Cara ini bukan sahaja dapat membantu menjaga kesihatan tulang belakang anda, malah dapat mengurangkan keletihan dan meningkatkan tahap tumpuan.\n\n\nBerhenti rehat seketika di mana-mana stesen minyak atau kawasan R&R berdekatan anda. Lakukan regangan ringkas seperti berdiri, berjalan, bongkok ke hadapan, condong ke belakang untuk mengurangkan tekanan pada bahagian tulang belakang anda.\n\n\nHidupkan Pemanas Kerusi\n\n\nSekiranya kereta anda dilengkapi dengan pemanas kerusi atau \nheated seats\n, aktifkan ciri ini sepanjang perjalanan anda. Secara amnya, fungsi ciri ini adalah sama seperti pad pemanasan yang tersedia di rumah \u2013 memastikan aliran darah berjalan lancar, mengurangkan tekanan pada sendi dan otot sepanjang pemanduan. Kebanyakan kereta moden hari ini dilengkapi dengan kerusi yang boleh dipanaskan yang boleh membantu\u00a0mengurangkan kekejangan otot dan meredakan tekanan di bahagian belakang badan anda.\n\n\nJika perlu, bawa \nheat pack\n sekiranya perlu memandu jauh. Balut dengan tuala dan letakkannya di bahagian belakang badan anda untuk memberikan sedikit kelegaan semasa memandu.\n\n\n\n\niii. Selepas Memandu\n\n\nKebanyakan daripada anda mungkin memilih untuk berehat sebaik sahaja sampai ke destinasi setelah seharian memandu. Namun begitu, anda disarankan untuk melakukan regangan ringkas terlebih dahulu untuk mengurangkan risiko sakit belakang setelah berjalan jauh.\n\n\nLakukan Regangan\n\n\nRegangan ringkas seperti \nbrisk walk, side pull, thoracic rotations, roll downs\n dan sebagainya boleh untuk mengurangkan risiko sakit belakang. Regangan mudah dapat membantu meningkatkan peredaran darah dan mengurangkan impak sakit belakang. Anda boleh cuba senamam untuk sakit belakang seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGenggam sambil menyilangkan jari antara tapak tangan kiri dan kanan, kemudian luruskan kedua-dua tangan ke atas, kiri, kanan dan ke hadapan. Pastikan anda berada dalam keadaan tegak bagi meredakan tekanan pada tulang belakang. Lakukan regangan ini selama 3 sesi, 10 saat setiap sesi.\n\n\nTundukkan kepala anda ke bawah, kemudian pusingkan kepala anda dari kanan ke kiri/kiri ke kanan sekurang-kurangnya selama 5 saat sebanyak tiga kali.\n\n\nNaikkan bahu ke atas dan turunkan semula bahu anda dengan perlahan-lahan. Tarik dan hembus nafas dalam masa yang sama.\n\n\nPusingkan badan ke kiri dan ke kanan dan tahan selama 10 saat \u2013 jika terdengar bunyi \u2018krak\u2019 semasa melakukan langkah ini, ia merupakan sebahagian daripada regangan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiharap perkongsian tips ini dapat membantu mengurangkan risiko sakit belakang semasa memandu. Umumnya, sakit belakang, sakit pinggang atau kekejangan otot merupakan perkara biasa yang sering dihadapi setelah memandu untuk tempoh masa yang lama. Namun begitu, jika gejala ini masih berlanjutan selama beberapa hari atau lebih, dapatkan nasihat perubatan dengan segera. Sekiranya anda ingin\u00a0\nmembeli\u00a0kereta\u00a0\nsecond hand\n\u00a0\natau\n\u00a0menjual kereta terpakai\n, layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

Although I managed to survive the disaster and my car also managed to float through it \u2013 albeit with some cosmetic damage, it still haunts me even after almost a year has gone by. And now, as the accursed date grows nearer, I am forced to relive the most horrible experience I\u2019ve had to go through in my entire life. Here\u2019s how the story went.\n\n\n\n\nThe date was 18 December 2021 and it had rained non-stop since the previous two days. At first I didn\u2019t think too much about it, but when I went out of my house to observe the situation, I realized that the rainwater is stagnating and it\u2019s not flowing anywhere.\n\n\nMy gut was telling me that something bad will happen and boy was I right. As I headed over to check out a nearby drain in the evening, my heart sank. The huge drain was filled to the brim with water and the continuous rain was making it worse. At that moment, there was only one thing I could think of \u2013 a flood is coming, and it\u2019s coming very soon.\n\n\n\u53f0\u98a8\u3000\u30bf\u30a4\u30d5\u30a6\u3000\u305f\u3044\u3075\u3046 GIF \nfrom \nStorm GIFs\n\n\nI steeled my resolve to face what was coming and I started thinking about all the things I need to save. And then I saw it, my Honda Jazz that was parked in the yard, drenched in the rain. I instantly knew that I needed to save my car first.\n\n\nSo here\u2019s what I did in order to save my car from extensive flood damage.\u00a0\n\n\nGrabbed All the Important Items & Documents\n\n\nFirst and foremost, I grabbed all the important items and documents that I have in the car such as the service logbook, owner\u2019s manual, tools, as well as all my personal belongings.\n\n\nThe documents are important so it\u2019s a no-brainer that they need to be saved first. As for the tools, I figured that I should take them out of the car since they\u2019re made out of metal and if they\u2019re left to soak in flood water, it might cause them to rust, rendering them unusable.\n\n\nTravel Late GIF \nfrom \nTravel GIFs\n\n\nUnfortunately that day, I did not have the time to take out the spare tire from my boot. But luckily I immediately took the spare tire out after the flood to wipe it clean and dried it, so it wasn\u2019t really damaged even after being submerged in flood water for more than two days.\u00a0\n\n\nMoved My Car to a Higher Ground\n\n\nAs water on the road remained stagnant while the rain continued to pour, I was sure that very soon the water level would start to rise and my car would be flooded. I frantically racked my brain in order to figure out what I should do, but this was my first time dealing in this situation so I wasn\u2019t able to come up with anything.\n\n\nThe rain showed no signs of stopping and a few concerned residents in the area have started to move their car to higher ground. This gave me the idea to do the same as well, since my car was parked by the road.\n\n\nIt was impossible for me to get my car to an elevated parking space as it was already late, so I decided to park my car on top of the raised sidewalk as it is the only elevated surface that I could find nearby. And it\u2019s way better than leaving my car on the roadside.\n\n\n\n\nLater that night, my decision proved to be very effective since although the water level had risen considerably, it only covered the car\u2019s exhaust. Water did get inside the car but it only filled the floor of my car. At least that\u2019s better than having water in the engine.\n\n\nDisconnected the Battery\n\n\nIn my effort to look for things to do to save a car from being flooded, an advice I found online stated that I should disconnect the car battery. Since this was pretty easy to do, I immediately grabbed the tool required \u2013 a small wrench, then went straight to my car, popped the hood open and started disconnecting the negative terminal and the positive terminal from the battery. I then stored the battery somewhere safe and dry.\u00a0\n\n\nSource:\n yourmechanic.com\n\n\nApparently, disconnecting the battery is important as it helps to prevent the electronic components in the flooded car from short circuiting as well as to protect electronic components like the Engine Control Unit (ECU) if the water level gets too high.\n\n\nAs the water level continued to rise later that night, the other cars that did not have their batteries disconnected started blaring off their alarms, most likely due to the water causing a small short circuit in their electronic systems. It was really hard for me to sleep that night with all the car alarms going off. I\u2019m sure this was the case for everyone in the area as well.\u00a0\n\n\nSealed Everything\n\n\nAnother tip that I came across online was to ensure that every hole or opening on the car is sealed, especially those that are close to the ground, such as the exhaust. This also includes the windows and any forms of vents that are present on the car.\n\n\nI immediately made sure that all the windows were sealed shut and all the doors were tightly closed and I proceeded to lock my car to secure it. The only opening left to deal with was the exhaust. I then covered the exhaust opening with a few plastic bags that I layered together and wrapped it up tightly using a few rubber bands to prevent water from going into the exhaust.\n\n\n\n\nIf too much water gets into the exhaust, it is possible for the water to be sucked into the engine when you try to start your car, causing irreversible damage that will cost you thousands to fix, so it is best to seal everything just to be safe.\n\n\nAfter Two & A Half Days, The Nightmare Was Finally Over\n\n\nTwo and a half days later, the flood water finally started to subside. It was a major relief for me and everyone in the area as we were stuck in our homes without any water and electricity the whole time during this incident.\n\n\nI was one of the lucky ones, since I managed to escape with little to no damage to my car during the flood. Flood water managed to get into my car but only my floors and carpets were affected. It took me one whole week to properly clean it, dry it out, and get rid of the musty smell it left behind after being drenched in flood water for more than two days.\n\n\nOnce things calmed down, I called Wak Mat, our family mechanic, over to diagnose my car and assess if there\u2019s any damage to the car after the flood. He confirmed that there was no water in the engine and it was able to start with no issues. Wak Mat advised me to flush out all the fluids that are currently in the engine to replace them with new ones just as a precaution. It cost me around RM400 to replace the engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and steering fluid. But at that time I was willing to sell my soul to the devil just to get my car up and running if needed.\n\n\n\n\nvia Gfycat\n\n\nI also sent my car for a detailing service to properly wash off all the mud and grime that was stuck on the car\u2019s body and under the carpets. This was important to make sure the car was thoroughly cleaned so that any parts affected by the flood do not rust. I had to fork out around RM450 for a complete cleaning service that included exterior cleaning, interior cleaning, seat and carpet cleaning, as well as engine cleaning. A small price to pay to keep my car sparkling clean again.\n\n\n\n\nvia GIPHY\n\n\nThis year, the monsoon season has been quite subtle for us in Shah Alam so far. But whenever it pours heavily for an extended period of time in the area, I\u2019m sure a small sense of dread creeps up inside of everyone here. But we\u2019ve made preparations this time, and only time will tell if what we did was enough.\n\n\nLooking back at this incident, there was one thing that I regretted the most. Like I mentioned earlier, I realized that a flood was coming before it happened \u2013 I noticed the signs and I was aware of the situation. But somehow, it didn\u2019t occur to me to take necessary precautions until it was too late. There are a few elevated parking spaces nearby that I can park my car at, and if I had made the decision earlier, my car wouldn\u2019t have been flooded.\n\n\nTeam Rocket James GIF\nfrom \nTeam Rocket GIFs\n\n\nAnother lesson I learned from the incident was to include special perils in my insurance package. Special perils inclusion used to be the last thing in my mind when I\u2019m renewing my car insurance. I mean, what could go wrong? I have never been involved in any natural disaster before and my car has always been protected at home. But the flood last year changed me. It\u2019s better to be prepared for something rather than not prepare at all.\n\n\nThe monsoon season is far from over. My only advice for everyone is, be alert of your surroundings and make sure to keep up with the latest news, especially when it comes to natural disasters.\n\n\nStay safe and take care, everyone.\n\n", "Haziq Asyraf\nA self-proclaimed foodie and gamer whose passion for food and games has recently extended to cars.", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

It is a short flight from Kuala Lumpur or a four-hour drive. The capital city, George Town, is the second largest city in Malaysia and home to a UNESCO heritage listed town centre. Penang is the state to visit this school holidays if you want to know more about Malaysian heritage or if you want to go on a food hunt.

The cases in Ipoh are also not at an alarming stage but to be safe, wear your mask wherever you go and maintain proper social distancing.\n\n\nBut before you embark out on your road trip, you should check your car to make sure you have a safe trip to your destination.\u00a0\n\n\nCheck Your Car Checklist\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nChange your car\u2019s engine oil\n\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s always best to check your engine oil level before you go on a trip and if it needs to be changed, its best to change it before the trip itself as long trips can be stressful on your vehicle.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCheck your car\u2019s fluids\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nMake sure to check the various fluid levels in your car and make sure they are all topped off, including the oil, coolant, windscreen wash levels and brake fluids. This is an efficient way to avoid unnecessary breakdowns that could lead to possible accidents.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCheck your car\u2019s battery\n\n\n\n\nIf the battery has not been changed for many years, check whether it can work well or not. If the sound of your starter is sluggish, it may indicate corrosion or a dying battery. Go change it as soon as possible.\n\n\n\n\nCheck your tires\u2019 air pressure\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe number marked on the tires is the maximum amount of pressure that tires can contain. If this capacity is exceeded, it may cause a tire blowout. On the contrary, low tire pressure may lead to wasted fuel and hotter tires.\n\n\n\n\nCheck your tires\u2019 wear and tear\n\n\n\n\nApart from air pressure, checking whether your \ntires\n can last the whole journey is also important. Ensure the tread is 1/16th\u201d or 1.6mm because worn-out tires may blow out during long trips.\n\n\n\n\nCheck your car\u2019s air filter\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe car\u2019s performance and efficiency will be improved if the supply of \nclean air\n to the engine is plentiful.\n\n\n\n\nMake sure your car\u2019s lights and signals are working\n\n\n\n\nIt is important to make sure all the signals are functional to avoid the accidents. Ask for another person\u2019s hand to finish this check. Sit in the car and turn on all the lights and signals and ask him or her if the lights are functioning properly.\n\n\nIf your car does not fulfill these requirements before you set out on our roadtrip, it\u2019s time for an upgrade, and there is no better time to do it then now because you won\u2019t ever see a discount for a car like the one we have at Carsome!\n\n\n\n\nCarsome\u2019s\u00a0 Exciting Year End Sales!\n\n\nEnjoy a new used car at a price you have never seen before!

However, purchasing a car involves more than just selecting one that you like and paying for it. To get a car that\u2019s right for you, you need to consider several factors and do your research. After all, you wouldn\u2019t want a car that doesn\u2019t fit your needs or is riddled with problems.\n\n\nThat\u2019s why we\u2019ve compiled a list of seven car-buying tips to help you score the right car according to your needs.\n\n\n\n\n1. Determine Your Budget\n\n\nThe first thing to do when buying a used car in Malaysia is to determine how much you are willing to spend on the car. The rule of thumb is to spend no more than 15 to 25 percent of your income on your monthly car payment. Apart from that, you should also consider the ownership costs which include the fuel, toll, parking, and maintenance costs. Once you are sure that you\u2019ll be able to cover the ownership costs and potential repair costs after the warranty is over, you are ready for the next step.\n\n\n2. Define Your Requirements\n\n\nWhen buying a car, you should list down what you want from it. Things to consider include the passenger and cargo space that you need, the fuel economy of the car, its color, and features that you cannot live without. You should also research the brand, model, and price range of the car that you have in mind before you browse on car marketplaces such as \nCARSOME\n. By having a list of requirements, you can avoid feeling overwhelmed when you\u2019re presented with the multitude of choices available on the market.\n\n\n3. Consider Several Cars\n\n\nIf you have a specific car in mind, you can review other vehicles in the same segment so you don\u2019t miss out on better choices. For example, if you\u2019re thinking of getting a sports utility vehicle (SUV), research other SUV choices within your budget. You might even find a vehicle that better fits your needs that you weren\u2019t aware of.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you need help finding the right car, you can check out the Car Finder Tool right on \nour website\n. All you have to do is answer three simple questions and the tool will recommend a selection of cars that fits your requirements.\n\n\n\n\nCARSOME\u2019s Car Finder Tool highlighted in red\n\n\n4. Review the Car\u2019s Service History\n\n\nWhen buying a used car in Malaysia it\u2019s important to check the car\u2019s service history. A car that has been regularly serviced is more likely to have its components in better condition. It\u2019ll be easier to plan for major services after you buy the car since you already know its complete service history.\u00a0\n\n\nThat being said, you should also ask for an accident repair history to get vital information like the number of accidents the car has been in and their severity, if the odometer has been rolled back, or even if the car has been declared a total loss by the insurance company.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More:\n \nIndustry Secrets Shared by CARSOME Inspectors\n\n\n5. Inspect the Exterior & Interior of the Car\n\n\nBe sure to inspect the whole car and look out for dents, defects, scratches, and rust. While minor damages will not affect the safety and performance of a car, it\u2019s important to catch major defects before finalizing your purchase. Important things to look at include the paint finish, uneven gaps between the body panels, and mold in the cabin.\u00a0\n\n\nYou should also make sure that all the doors, lights, turn signals, and interior electronics are functioning as they should. If any of the \nwarning lights\n on the instrument cluster are on, get them checked before you make your purchase. At CARSOME, we have set a new standard in the industry by providing you with the complete 175-point inspection report so you know the exact condition of our cars both inside and out.\n\n\n6. Inspect the Engine\n\n\nAnother vital car-buying tip is to inspect the \nengine\n. Check all the fluids, wires, and hoses in the engine and make sure they\u2019re not damaged. Also, look out for leaks, and mismatched screws or nuts and bolts as these could indicate that the engine bay has suffered some damage. If you\u2019re not confident in inspecting the engine bay, bring along a friend or a mechanic who\u2019s more familiar with a car engine to help you.\n\n\n7. Test Drive the Used Car\n\n\nThis is perhaps the most important part of buying a used car. Spending some time behind the wheels will help you determine the condition of the car. Spend enough time on the road, not just driving around the parking lot. Drive it on the highway to test the speed, and on different roads to check out its handling and comfort. Pay attention to the sound and smell of the car while you drive. If there\u2019s excessive creaking or hissing noises, or burnt odors, the car could have some damage to the engine.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More:\n \nBest Dashcam Brands in Malaysia & How to Choose One\n\n\nScore Your Dream Car with CARSOME\n\n\nBy following these car-buying tips, we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll be able to score the right car for you.

Chunky peanut butter or smooth peanut butter? Does pineapple belong on pizza? Now, Sedans versus Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV), does size matter?\u00a0\n\n\nAccording to an \narticle\n by Paul Tan, the sales of SUVs are skyrocketing by 43 percent in Malaysia. In fact, take a look at your surroundings \u2013\u00a0 do you notice that there are more\u00a0 SUVs on the road in Malaysia these days? It is estimated that soon, 1 in every 3 vehicles sold in Malaysia will be SUVs.\n\n\nRead more: \nN\nearly 30% of New Cars Sold in Malaysia are SUVs\n\n\nFor those who prefer sedans or smaller vehicles, you may be pressured by your peers and family members to get a bigger car rather than something smaller like a Vios. This begs the question, is an SUV better than a sedan? Or is it the other way around? We break it down for you to make a better decision.\u00a0\n\n\nPros of Sedans\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLower Center of Gravity for Better Handling\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSedans, for starters, have lower ground clearance. Being closer to the ground, anyone who has a medical condition in their knees or has elderly family members will have no issue getting in and out of the vehicle.\u00a0\n\n\nIn addition to that, since it has a lower center of gravity and is lighter in weight, you can expect the ride to nimble around corners. But how does a lower ride offer good handling you ask? It\u2019s just physics in action.\u00a0\n\n\nThe center of gravity is where most of the weight of the car resides. It\u2019s what makes your vehicle grip the road. A thumb rule of vehicle design is, that the lower the center of gravity, the higher the stability of the car. Picture this, a taller bottle is easier to tip over than a shorter bottle. When you apply force to the bottle, the weight of the bottle gets transferred towards the direction where momentum is applied.\u00a0 A taller bottle would have an unstable center of gravity, thus unable to transfer the momentum while gripping onto the surface properly.\u00a0\n\n\nRead more: \nCenter of Gravity for Cars\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTires and Wheels\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s no secret that big tires come at a hefty price. For example, a \nused Proton X70\n wears 19-inch shoes. A set of \n19-inch Goodyear Assurance MaxGuard\n tires is going for around \nRM647\n. While a \nused Toyota Corolla Altis\n wears 17-inch shoes. Meanwhile, a set of \n17-inch Goodyear Assurance TripleMax 2 Tires\n goes for around \nRM30\n.\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSee the price difference between the two? A 17-inch wheel costs half of what a set of 19-inch wheels would go for! And we haven\u2019t started talking about the rims and brakes, that\u2019s a horror story for another time to your wallet. For the aficionados of tasteful mods, you\u2019d get more options in wheel choices compared to 19-inch wheels. Now, go ahead and start browsing for your favorite Enkei and Rays sport rims for your new car.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCost and maintenance\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA bigger car means a heftier price tag. A fresh graduate would have a better choice starting off with a used sedan rather than an SUV because of its cheaper price tag. In comparison with a used SUV, you have to be ready to fork out RM80,000 or less.\n\n\nIn addition to costs, having a small fuel capacity has its merits. Getting a tank full of petrol in a \n1.5L \nHonda City\n will not break the bank compared to a \n2.0L\n \nHonda CR-V\n. Moreover, it\u2019s extremely fuel efficient as it is lightweight.\n\n\nWhen we talked about weight earlier, this also translates to getting good fuel economy on your car. While some car manufacturers may use the same engine, transmission, and drivetrain for their models, we can\u2019t expect the same performance from each other. A lighter car also has better aerodynamics than an SUV and acceleration.\n\n\nCons of Sedans\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoot Capacity\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCargo space? A sedan is a less-than-ideal choice when it comes to carrying capacity. While some sedan models do have a large boot space, it still does not compare to the capacity an SUV can carry. Lots of SUV models offer the option to fold the rear seats to increase their boot space. After all, the main purpose of sedans is focused on passenger comfort in mind, not cargo.\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLow Ground Clearance\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSource: Spirited Away by Studio Ghibil.\n\n\nHaving a lower center of gravity for your cars has its quirks until you start driving on less-than-ideal conditioned roads Malaysia is known for. Potholes, dirt roads, and speed bumps are going to be your arch-nemesis to your wheel arches. If you hit a pothole while going a little faster than usual, you\u2019re gonna feel a huge bump rocking your car, followed by a damaged fender or worse, a broken suspension. An SUV would just brush it off due to its higher wheelbase. What\u2019s more, a lowered car is going to have a bumpy ride if you really have to drive on a non-paved road.\u00a0\n\n\nPros of SUVs\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOwn the High Ground\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThese four-wheeled crawlers that started the trend as a status symbol don\u2019t just sit there and look pretty (and expensive). Having a higher ground clearance does provide better visibility around the road. An SUV has better odds of absorbing sudden bumps and impacts due to a taller ride height.\u00a0\n\n\nIdeally, a higher ground clearance makes an ideal ride for regular and city drives daily. Therefore an SUV will be less forgiving towards damages done to the car by potholes and speed bumps than a sports car or a sedan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMobile Tank at Your Service\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSUV\u2019s chassis are usually heavier and reinforced. With the aid of its unibody design present in modern SUVs, its construction helps to absorb more impact towards the body in the unfortunate events of an accident. A unibody design consists of a cage-like frame with all the chassis components merged together in a single piece. On top of that, unibody cars have more crumple zones built into them to absorb impact better.\n\n\nCompared to traditional body-on-frame designs prevalent in older SUVs, this eases the manufacturing process and saves weight. Body-on-frame designs have fewer crumple zones than an SUV. A \nstudy done by the Washington State Department of Health\n found that occupants in a unibody SUV have a higher chance of surviving a crash than a traditional body-on-frame SUV.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBetter Power Train\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSUVs used to be called four-wheelers (4\u00d74).The design and concept date back to the 30s for military use. They were once rigid, tough, and off-road-ready vehicles, ready to take on the rugged terrains of the desert and jungle. If some of you here are old enough and had a family member owning an old Mitsubishi Pajero, Toyota Land Cruiser, or Perodua Kembara, that was the template for SUVs we know today.\u00a0\n\n\nFast forward to the present, it is seen as a symbol of luxury that earns the delight and approval of your family members for every festive holiday. While people don\u2019t usually take SUVs for off-roading anymore, some elements of its 4\u00d74 predecessors still remain. For example, modern SUVs still have the generational turbocharged engine and offer All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) options. These amenities, combined with a myriad of driver assistance options, make it a torquey machine to drive.\n\n\nSUV Cons\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBig Cars, Big Crashes\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA \nstudy\n by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) says that SUVs are prone to hit more pedestrians during turns. While having higher ground clearance for better visibility may be a good thing, an SUV will have plenty of blind spots for drivers at close range.\u00a0\n\n\nThe \nCanadian Broadcasting Company (CBC)\n has also tested this theory by ramming a poor test dummy with a sedan and an SUV. Results? The dummy only suffered body damage below the waist due to the lower ground clearance of sedans. On the other hand, an SUV managed to damage the dummy\u2019s body that houses our vital organs after the crash. As ironic as it sounds, an SUV can keep its passengers safe, but not those around it.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\u00a0Reckless and Dangerous\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs the saying goes, one man\u2019s pleasure is another man\u2019s poison. Despite plenty of research showing how much danger an SUV poses to others, people still buy them for \u2013 ironically \u2013 safety reasons. The \nU.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports\n that an SUV is three times more likely to kill a pedestrian on impact than a regular car.\u00a0\n\n\nFurthermore, \nCNN reported\n that people who own SUVs are more likely to behave recklessly since the higher price tag and extra ground clearance of their SUVs make them feel superior on the road. This lulls drivers into a false sense of security that the rigidity of an SUV will give them more stability on the road. Another report by the \nUniversity of Helsinki\n \nconcludes that drivers of large and expensive vehicles are more likely to break traffic rules.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice Tag\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s no secret that a car with a bigger size does come with a hefty price tag, even on used ones. Those looking to buy an SUV may have to fork out a minimum of\u00a0 RM80,000. But fret not, there are actually CARSOME Certified pre-owned SUVs going for under RM80,000 \nhere\n.\u00a0\n\n\nThe good news is that the value of SUVs depreciates more over time so maybe snagging a pre-owned one could be a better bargain.\u00a0\n\n\nSedan or SUV, Find Your Dream Car with \nCARSOME\n Certified\u00a0\n\n\nAt \nCARSOME\n, we offer a wide selection of \nCARSOME\n Certified pre-owned cars of up to 30 brands \u2013 you will find a myriad of choices ranging from Sedans to SUVs. \nCARSOME Certified\n is the new standard for buying pre-owned cars that have passed a stringent 175-point inspection and come with an all-inclusive price, as well as a five-day money-back guarantee and a one-year warranty.\u00a0 All CARSOME Certified cars are also refurbished beyond global standards with our \nCARSOME Certified Refurbishment Process\n.\u00a0\n\n\nFind your car with \nCARSOME\n today.\u00a0\n\n", "Tags\nCar Tips\nComparison\nLearning Centre", "Brian Wong", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Periksa Minyak Enjin Kereta\n\n\nUntuk memastikan perjalanan yang lancar, minyak enjin adalah perkara utama yang perlu anda periksa. Kalau masa untuk tukar minyak enjin anda dah dekat, terus tukar minyak enjin baharu. Minyak enjin yang dah lama boleh rosakkan enjin kereta anda, lebih-lebih lagi kalau anda perlu memandu pada jarak yang jauh untuk masa yang lama.\n\n\n\n\nTapi kalau belum, \nperiksa takat minyak enjin\n menggunakan pengukur celup dan jika ia berada di bawah paras minimum, tambahkan saja minyak enjin yang baharu. Sambil memeriksa takat minyak, cuba perhatikan keadaan minyak enjin anda.\n\n\nCalitkan pengukur celup dengan tisu atau kain putih dan lihat warna minyak enjin. Minyak enjin biasanya berwarna kuning atau kuning muda. Jika ia berwarna coklat gelap atau hitam, itu bermakna minyak enjin anda sudah perlu ditukar.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nMinyak Hitam Kereta: Jenis Minyak Hitam Kereta Terbaik, Harga Tukar Minyak Hitam Kereta\n\n\n2. Tambah Cecair Yang Perlu\n\n\nSelain daripada minyak enjin, ada pelbagai cecair lain yang bertanggungjawab untuk memastikan pemanduan yang lancar bagi kereta anda. Walaupun kebanyakan cecair ini boleh diakses dan diperiksa dengan mudah, ada yang memerlukan kepakaran mekanik.\n\n\n\n\nRujuk buku manual kereta anda untuk ketahui spesifikasi cecair dan jumlah yang diperlukan oleh kereta anda serta selang masa servis yang diperlukan oleh cecair berkenaan. Berikut adalah antara minyak atau cecair yang perlu anda periksa:\n\n\n\n\nMinyak transmisi: \nMemastikan kotak gear kereta anda boleh menukar gear dengan lancar semasa memandu.\n\n\nCecair penyejuk:\n Membantu mengekalkan suhu enjin kereta pada tahap optimum, agar suhu enjin tidak menjadi terlalu panas. Tahap cecair penyejuk yang sesuai adalah penting untuk memastikan enjin kereta dapat beroperasi dengan baik.\n\n\nCecair brek:\n Memastikan brek kereta anda dapat beroperasi dengan baik, agar kereta anda boleh berhenti serta merta tanpa perlu menekan brek terlalu kuat.\n\n\nCecair stereng kuasa:\n Memastikan stereng anda responsif dan melancarkan pergerakan stereng.\n\n\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \n10 Perkara Penting Tentang Radiator Kereta yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\n3. Pastikan Tayar Kereta Dalam Keadaan Baik\n\n\nTayar kereta adalah satu-satunya bahagian kereta yang menghubungkan kereta anda dengan permukaan jalan raya, jadi ia memainkan peranan yang sangat penting dalam memastikan pemanduan yang selamat.\n\n\nPeriksa keadaan tayar sebelum dan selepas anda memulakan perjalanan. Tayar yang dah botak, terkurang atau terlebih angin bukan sahaja boleh sebabkan pemanduan jadi tak selesa, malah ia akan membahayakan diri anda dan juga pengguna jalan raya yang lain kerana ia tak dapat mencengkam permukaan jalan dengan baik.\n\n\n\n\nCara paling mudah untuk periksa jika tayar anda dah botak adalah dengan melihat tread wear indicator (TWI) yang boleh dijumpai di kawasan tayar dengan tanda segi tiga (\u25b2). Jika jalur tayar sama tinggi dengan penanda, itu bermakna tayar anda sudah botak dan perlu diganti.\n\n\nSource: \nCars.com\n\n\nKalau nak pastikan tayar anda mempunyai angin yang mencukupi, rujuk saranan tekanan angin optimum yang biasanya ditulis di pelekat yang berada di bahagian pintu sebelah pemandu seperti gambar yang dilampirkan di atas.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nTekanan Angin Tayar Kereta, Cara Isi Angin Tayar Kereta dengan Betul\n\n\n4. Periksa Keadaan Bateri Kereta\n\n\nKomponen lain yang perlu diperiksa sebelum anda memulakan perjalanan panjang adalah bateri kereta. Kereta mati di tengah jalan adalah mimpi ngeri bagi semua pemandu, lebih-lebih lagi kalau berlaku di lebuh raya semasa jalan tengah sesak.\n\n\nTahap kesihatan bateri kereta boleh diperiksa dengan menggunakan multimeter atau voltmeter. Bacaan bateri biasa ialah 12 volt hingga 12.6 volt apabila enjin dimatikan dan antara 13.5 hingga 14.5 volt semasa enjin dihidupkan.\n\n\n\n\nLagi satu cara untuk ketahui jika bateri kereta anda perlu ditukar adalah dengan memberi perhatian kepada bunyi yang dihasilkan semasa anda cuba hidupkan kereta anda. Kalau bunyi \ncranking\n kereta kedengaran lebih lemah daripada biasa atau ada bunyi \u2018klik\u2019, ini bermakna bateri kereta anda sudah terlalu lemah.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nTanda Bateri Kereta Kong, Tip Penjagaan Bateri Kereta Anda Perlu Tahu\n\n\n5. Periksa Lampu Kereta\n\n\nBagi yang gemar memandu jarak jauh pada waktu malam, lampu kereta perlu diselenggara untuk menjamin keselamatan anda dengan memastikan anda dapat dilihat oleh pemandu lain.\n\n\n\n\nSelain memberi pencahayaan, lampu kereta juga berfungsi untuk memberitahu anda akan menukar lorong, anda sedang membrek, dan juga jika anda sedang memberhentikan kereta.\n\n\nLampu-lampu yang perlu anda periksa pada kereta anda adalah lampu hadapan, lampu belakang, lampu brek, lampu brek ketiga, lampu indikator, lampu parkir atau undur, dan lampu kabus.\n\n\nJika ada lampu yang rosak, adalah lebih baik untuk gantikan terus satu set daripada cuma gantikan yang mana dah rosak.

Sediakan Kit Kecemasan Kenderaan\n\n\nBila merancang perjalanan jauh, anda harus menyediakan kit kecemasan dalam kereta supaya anda dapat bersedia menghadapi sebarang kemungkinan yang berlaku dalam perjalanan anda.\n\n\n\n\nKit kecemasan bukan sahaja merujuk kepada peti pertolongan cemas, tetapi barangan lain yang boleh membantu anda apabila berlaku situasi yang tak diingini semasa di jalan raya seperti tayar pancit dan kereta anda mati di tengah jalan. Berikut ialah senarai semak perkara yang perlu ada dalam kit kecemasan kereta anda:\n\n\n\n\nPeralatan untuk menukar tayar termasuk tayar ganti dan bicu tayar\n\n\nKit segitiga keselamatan\n\n\nKotak peralatan (Yang mengandungi alatan asas seperti pemutar skru, playar, sepana pelbagai saiz dan lain-lain alatan)\n\n\nJumper cable\n\n\nPita pelekat yang bersesuaian\n\n\nSarung tangan sekiranya anda perlu mengendalikan barang yang kotor, panas atau berbahaya.\n\n\nPayung dan baju hujan\n\n\nPower bank\n yang boleh digunakan untuk\n jump start\n kereta anda\n\n\nLampu suluh dan bateri tambahan\n\n\nBotol air\n\n\nKit pertolongan cemas\n\n\nTuala\n\n\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nTukul Cermin, \u2018Dashcam\u2019 serta Aksesori Kereta Lain Yang Perlu Ada dalam Kereta\n\n\n7. Pastikan Brek Kereta Berfungsi\n\n\nJalan raya di Malaysia terutamanya jalan di kawasan luar bandar dipenuhi dengan selekoh yang berbahaya. Jika brek anda tidak berfungsi dengan baik, anda akan menghadapi kesukaran untuk mengawal, memperlahankan dan memberhentikan kenderaan semasa memandu.\n\n\n\n\nBerikut adalah perkara-perkara yang menunjukkan brek kereta anda perlu ditukar:\n\n\n\n\nLampu amaran brek menyala:\n Kebanyakan kereta moden mempunyai sensor yang akan menyalakan lampu amaran untuk memberitahu anda yang pad brek perlu ditukar atau minyak brek perlu ditambah. Perhatikan kalau ada lampu amaran seperti berikut menyala pada dashboard kereta anda \u2013\n.\n\n\nBunyi bising atau nyaring apabila menekan brek: \nPad brek kereta anda dilengkapi dengan sekeping logam kecil yang dikenali sebagai \nbrake wear indicator\n (BWI) yang akan menghasilkan bunyi bising atau nyaring apabila pad brek anda terlalu nipis.\n\n\nStereng bergegar apabila brek ditekan: \nJika stereng anda bergegar apabila anda menekan brek, kemungkinan cakera brek anda sudah bengkok akibat haba yang melampau. Kalau ini berlaku, cakera brek anda perlu diganti dengan segera.\n\n\nKereta ambil masa lama untuk berhenti bila tekan brek: \nIni adalah sesuatu yang sangat berbahaya dan perlu diatasi dengan serta merta. Ia berpunca daripada permukaan pad brek dan cakera brek yang tidak rata atau terlalu kotor, selain daripada menggunakan pad brek yang tak berkualiti atau yang sudah lama.\n\n\n\n\nCara terbaik untuk menyelenggara brek kereta adalah dengan menghantar kereta ke bengkel yang anda percayai dan dapatkan bantuan mekanik untuk mengetahui keadaan brek kereta anda.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nBrek Kereta Tak Makan? 9 Tanda Brek Kereta Rosak atau Bermasalah yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\nSenarai Semak Penyelenggaraan Kereta Selepas Perjalanan Selesai\n\n\n8. Periksa & Bersihkan Bahagian Dalaman Kereta\n\n\nSelepas perjalanan jauh, jadikan satu kebiasaan untuk periksa bahagian dalaman kereta anda. Anda mesti akan jumpa sampah, kotoran, dan bau yang muncul secara tiba-tiba ataupun yang dibawa oleh penumpang lain di dalam kereta anda.\n\n\n\n\nJangan tinggalkan sebarang sampah dalam kereta kerana ia akan mengundang binatang perosak seperti tikus, lipas, dan juga semut untuk bersarang dalam kereta anda. Selain daripada memenuhkan kereta anda dengan kekotoran dan juga bau busuk, binatang perosak juga boleh mengakibatkan kerosakan pada kereta dengan menggigit wayar elektronik dalam kereta.\n\n\nAntara bahagian dalam kereta yang penuh dengan kekotoran tetapi sering diabaikan semasa proses pembersihan adalah bahagian but, siling bumbung, pemegang cawan, stereng, dan juga bahagian kerusi. Kotoran yang melekat pada bahagian tersebut perlu dibersihkan untuk memastikan kebersihan kereta anda berada pada tahap optimum dan anda juga digalakkan untuk menyahkuman bahagian dalaman kereta agar kesihatan anda terjamin.\n\n\n9. Basuh Kereta\n\n\nApabila bahagian dalaman sudah dibersihkan, jangan lupa untuk bersihkan bahagian luaran kereta juga. Kalau kotoran pada permukaan kereta anda dibiarkan begitu sahaja, lama-kelamaan cat kereta anda akan menjadi pudar, badan kereta akan mudah karat, dan segala lapisan perlindungan yang ada akan mula luntur.\n\n\n\n\nAnda boleh pilih untuk basuh kereta sendiri atau hantar ke kedai untuk dapatkan servis pembasuhan kereta secara profesional. Kalau nak basuh kereta sendiri, anda dinasihatkan untuk gunakan produk pembersihan kereta yang bersesuaian seperti syampu kereta, kain mikrofiber, dan juga span yang lembut agar kereta anda tidak tercalar semasa dibasuh.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nCara Cuci Kereta, Tips Cuci Enjin dan Polish Kereta dengan Betul\n\n\nApa Nak Periksa Lepas Memandu Atas Permukaan Jalan Yang Berbeza\n\n\nMalaysia ada pelbagai jenis muka bumi yang boleh membuatkan pemanduan anda jadi lebih seronok, ekstrim, atau menyusahkan. Bergantung kepada jenis permukaan jalan, kereta anda akan terdedah kepada kotoran yang berlainan dan juga kerosakan tertentu hasil daripada cara pemanduan anda.\n\n\nJadi, di sini kami senaraikan tips yang berguna semasa melakukan penyelenggaraan ke atas kereta anda selepas memandu atas permukaan jalan yang berkenaan.\n\n\nJalan Berbukit\n\n\nBrek dan kotak gear kereta anda akan bekerja lebih keras bila anda memandu di jalan yang berbukit. Jadi memang penting untuk anda periksa pad brek dan juga tahap minyak transmisi selepas selesai perjalanan.\u00a0\n\n\nLagi satu, jika anda merasakan pergerakan yang tidak lancar apabila menukar gear kereta atau lampu amaran transmisi menyala pada dashboard kereta, terus hantar kereta ke bengkel untuk diperiksa oleh mekanik.\n\n\nJalan Basah atau Berlumpur\n\n\nBila anda memandu di atas jalan yang basah atau berlumpur, tayar dan juga sistem suspensi kereta anda akan mengalami rintangan dan juga hentakan yang lebih tinggi. Ini boleh menyebabkan kerosakan kepada komponen-komponen tersebut dan ia juga boleh terkeluar daripada jajaran.\n\n\nOleh itu, pastikan anda periksa keadaan dan tekanan angin tayar, bawa kereta anda ke bengkel untuk betulkan semula penjajaran tayar, dan juga bersihkan kereta anda secepat mungkin sebab lumpur yang dah kering dan dibiarkan lama memang susah nak dibersihkan.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nTip Penjagaan & Pemanduan Kereta Semasa Musim Hujan\n\n\nJalan Berpasir\n\n\nMemandu kereta di kawasan pantai memang seronok, lebih-lebih lagi kalau ditemani orang yang tersayang. Tapi bila anda memandu di jalan yang berpasir, permukaan kereta dan rim boleh tercalar akibat terkena pasir dan kereta juga mungkin akan dipenuhi dengan pasir bila anda naik turun daripada kereta.\n\n\nCara terbaik untuk bersihkan kereta anda adalah dengan pergi ke pusat basuh kereta profesional yang akan menggunakan water jet untuk bersihkan permukaan kereta anda tanpa mencalarkannya dan mereka juga mempunyai pembersih vakum yang berkuasa untuk menyedut pasir keluar daripada kereta anda.\n\n\nJalan Berlubang atau \nOffroad\n\n\nSelain daripada jalan-jalan yang disebutkan di atas, anda juga mungkin terpaksa melalui jalan yang berlubang atau jalan \noffroad\n apabila pulang ke kampung halaman. Jalan tersebut selalunya selalunya berisiko merosakkan komponen kereta anda seperti rim, tayar, penyerap hentakan, dan juga brek.\n\n\nAnda perlu periksa keadaan rim anda dan pastikan ia bebas daripada sebarang kerosakan. Jika ada kesan retak atau bengkok pada rim, terus pergi ke bengkel untuk tukar rim anda kerana memandu dengan rim yang rosak adalah sangat bahaya. Begitu juga dengan tayar, periksa keadaan tayar untuk pastikan ia bebas daripada kerosakan pada dinding tayar dan juga kebocoran.\n\n\nUntuk penyerap hentakan dan brek pula, jika anda perasan kereta anda mula bergegar selepas merempuh lubang di atas jalan, hantar kereta anda ke bengkel untuk diperiksa dan dibaiki kerana komponen tersebut mungkin sudah rosak.\n\n\nTengah Cari Kereta Terpakai Berkualiti Untuk Balik Mengundi?

Ada yang mungkin terkejut dengan harga tersebut. Lagipun, anda boleh dapatkan Perodua Myvi yang lebih murah tapi adakah ia pembelian yang lebih berbaloi?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nPerodua Axia 2023 Kini Sudah Dilancarkan Secara Rasmi!\n\n\nMyvi asas 1.3 liter ditawarkan dalam dua varian tetapi untuk perbandingan ini, kita akan bandingkan dengan model G yang dilengkapi dengan sistem Bantu Pandu Pintar Perodua (PSDA) dengan harga bermula RM48,500.\n\n\n\n\nJika anda mempertimbangkan dua varian ini disebabkan harga yang hampir sama, kami telah membandingkan lima aspek iaitu rupa, enjin, pemanduan, ruang, dan ciri-ciri.\u00a0\n\n\nRupa \u2013 Axia Nampak Lebih Moden\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMungkin disebabkan ia baru saja dilancarkan jadi kalau nak pilih yang mana lebih menarik penampilannya, \nAxia\n baharu kelihatan lebih cantik daripada Myvi.\u00a0\n\n\nApapun, Perodua bukan \nPininfarina yang hasilkan kereta dengan rekaan yang boleh menarik perhatian ramai. Kita kena ucapkan terima kasih kepada pereka-pereka di Perodua kerana datang dengan rekaan kereta\u00a0 tahap pemula yang tidak nampak pelik.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTidak seperti model sebelumnya, rekaan Axia baharu agak \u2018biasa\u2019, dengan bentuk hacbek rendah. Axia baharu ini mempunyai penampilan lebih \nsporty \nyang kelihatan lebih dinamik berbanding Myvi tetapi apapun, model Myvi lebih mendominasi jalan raya jadi mungkin anda takkan perasan pun model Axia ini. Benda yang sama akan terjadi kepada model Axia ini nanti.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDi bahagian tepi pula, Axia baharu turut datang dengan jalur dan juga pelindung lingkungan tayar yang lebih luas dan menampakkan ia lebih moden dan \nsporty \nyang menampilkan sedikit kelainan rekaan berbanding Myvi yang kelihatan kosong.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWalau bagaimanapun, kalau ada yang ingin dikritik bagi rekaan Axia ini, ia ialah bahagian belakang kereta. Bagi kami, ianya terlalu biasa dan kosong dan di sinilah Myvi patut dipuji untuk rekaannya. Mungkin aksesori Gear Up boleh ubah sedikit (kot) penampilan Axia ini?\u00a0\n\n\nEnjin \u2013 Myvi Masih Menjuarai\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPerodua tidak memasukkan enjin 1.0 liter turbo daripada Perodua Ativa ataupun enjin 1.2 liter WA-VE seperti model Toyota Agya dari Indonesia tetapi Axia baharu ini dilengkapi dengan enjin yang sama seperti model sebelum ini iaitu enjin hembusan asli (NA) 1.0 liter 1KR-VE 3 unit pot (68PS/91 Nm).\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSama seperti Myvi, kesemua varian Axia baharu hanya dilengkapi dengan transmisi automatik D-CVT. Menurut jurutera Perodua, transmisi yang ada pada Axia adalah sama dengan Myvi tetapi ia telah disesuaikan bagi kegunaan enjin yang lebih kecil.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\u00a0\nKenapa Anda Patut Beli Perodua Axia Terpakai Generasi Pertama Sebagai Kereta Pertama?\n\n\n\n\nWalau bagaimanapun, Myvi 1.3 Gyang lebih murah ini dikuasakan dengan enjin 1.3 liter 1NR-VE 4 silinder yang lebih besar dan berkuasa yang menjana 95 PS ataupun 121 Nm.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nItu saja dah cukup untuk menjadi alasan yang kukuh bagi mereka yang masih mempertimbangkan antara Axia yang mahal dan juga Myvi yang cukup murah. Mengapa bayar lebih untuk kereta tahap pemula yang lengkap sedangkan anda boleh dapatkan kereta yang lebih berkuasa yang juga merupakan \nbest-seller\n dalam Malaysia?\n\n\nSelain daripada lebih jimat minyak \u2013 Axia: 27.4km/l, Myvi: 22.2km/l \u2013 sebenarnya Axia mendahului Myvi dengan satu kelebihan.\u00a0\n\n\nPemanduan \u2013 Axia Lagi Selesa\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTak dapat dinafikan bahawa kuasa itu penting dan kalau perbandingan ini seperti nak memilih jodoh, Myvi nampaknya lebih sesuai. Tetapi, secara realitinya, ia bukan sekadar itu saja.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWalaupun kami hanya mengulas varian Myvi yang paling mewah, kami mendapati tetapan suspensinya seperti tidak wujud menyebabkan pemanduan kurang menyenangkan untuk jalan berbonggol . Senang cerita, Myvi ini langsung tak selesa.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMeskipun cuma untuk seketika kami memandu Axia baharu ini, kami mendapati ia jauh lebih baik bukan hanya nak dibandingkan dengan model terdahulu tetapi juga lebih lembut (suspensi) berbanding Myvi. Sangat mengagumkan apabila Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) menyifatkan Axia ini masih kereta tahap pemula tetapi pemanduannya lebih bagus daripada kereta yang berada atas segmennya.\u00a0\n\n\nRuang \u2013 Myvi Bukan Tandingan\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDaripada segi saiz, Myvi masih lagi lebih panjang dan besar daripada Axia baharu. Logik juga kerana Myvi ini sebenarnya berada dalam kelas yang lebih besar berbanding Axia. Tetapi, jarak gandar tayar Axia baharu cumalah 25mm lebih pendek berbanding Myvi.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPerodua mendakwa ruang but Axia boleh memuatkan empat bagasi dengan mudah sama seperti Myvi tetapi walaupun nampak luas dan praktikal, ia masih tidak ada kerusi belakang boleh lipat.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKalau anda mahu membawa basikal atau sesuatu yang panjang di belakang Axia, anda terpaksa mengorban tempat duduk belakang kerana hanya keseluruhan kerusi belakang boleh dilipat, termasuklah varian AV.\u00a0\n\n\nSementara itu, Myvi mempunyai kerusi belakang boleh lipat 60:40 supaya anda sekurang-kurangnya boleh meletakkan barangan yang lebih panjang di bahagian belakang tanpa perlu mengosongkan keseluruhan ruang belakang.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMyvi juga mempunyai banyak tatarajah tempat duduk yang menjadi tumpuan bagi model \nfacelift\n yang menjadikannya ciri yang praktikal . Jadi kali ini, Myvi ialah pilihan terbaik yang jelas memandangkan kedua-dua kereta ini adalah daripada segmen yang berbeza.\u00a0\n\n\nCiri \u2013 Inilah Sebabnya Kenapa Anda Kena Beli\u2026\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Axia AV datang dengan pelbagai ciri keselamatan dan kemudahan justeru harga yang lebih mahal. Hanya varian AV yang datang dengan skrin sesentuh maklumat hibur, paparan TFT aneka info 7 inci, dan juga tempat duduk separa kulit.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSementara itu, Myvi 1.3 Gpula, hanya ada ciri asas saja termasuklah radio standard dengan USB (tanpa bluetooth), kombinasi paparan LCD asas, dan tempat duduk fabrik.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKedua-dua Axia AV dan Myvi 1.3 G menawarkan PSDA tetapi Axia dengan spesifikasi tinggi ada fungsi yang lebih menyeluruh. Kedua-dua model didatangkan dengan:\u00a0\n\n\n\u2013 Advanced Safety Assist (ASA 3.0)\u00a0\n\n\n\u2013 Amaran Lencongan (LDW)\n\n\n\u2013 Lampu Tinggi Automatik (AHB)\n\n\n\n\nWalau bagaimanapun, Axia baharu mempunyai ciri keselamatan tambahan yang lebih lengkap berbanding Myvi 1.3 G dengan PSDA termasuklah monitor titik buta dan juga sistem amaran lintas trafik belakang (RCTA). Axia ini juga dilengkapi dengan enam beg udara berbanding Myvi 1.3 Gyang hanya ada empat serta dilengkapi dengan pengesan selekoh dan juga kamera undur.\n\n\nNak Beli Yang Mana Satu?\n\n\n\n\nPerbezaan harga antara Myvi varian G berserta PSDA dengan Axia varian AV cumalah RM1,000 dan tak dinafikan anda akan mendapat kereta yang lebih besar dengan enjin yang lebih berkuasa pada harga yang lebih murah jika memilih Myvi.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nProton X90 Dilancarkan Secara Rasmi Dengan Harga Bermula Daripada RM 123,800!\n\n\n\n\nNamun, daripada segi keselesaan dan kemudahan, Axia AV nampak lebih berbaloi sekalipun ia RM1,000 lebih mahal. Ada perkara yang menampakkan Myvi merupakan pilihan yang lebih bagus tetapi ia bergantung kepada apa yang dimahukan dan diperlukan seseorang dalam membeli kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nAngka tidak semestinya menentukan keputusan seseorang waima harganya ataupun pengeluaran kuasanya tetapi kalau boleh, kami mencadangkan untuk memilih Axia dengan spesifikasi tinggi kerana anda akan dapat lagi banyak fungsi dan fitur dan anda cuma kena tambah RM1,000 saja.\n\n\n*Artikel ini merupakan terjemahan daripada artikel asal \n\u201cFor nearly RM 50k, should you go for the 2023 D74A Perodua Axia AV or the base Myvi 1.3 G with PSDA?\n\u201c\nyang diterbitkan di laman Wapcar.\u00a0\n\n", "Tags\nMyvi\nPerodua\nPerodua Axia", "Ahmad Azwadie Azman", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

When you get behind the wheel of your brand-new car for the first time and drive it out of the showroom, there\u2019s just no words to describe the happiness and excitement that you are feeling. But the headache of buying a new car lies in the process of selling your car or trading it in if it has an existing hire purchase loan. Don\u2019t let this stop you because we know some tips that make the used car with an existing car loan selling process a hassle free one!\n\n\n\n\nBuyer Pays in Cash\n\n\nThe best scenario when it comes to selling your car is the buyer pays for it in cash. Not only does this make the entire process so much easier, but it is also cheaper. The buyer pays the agreed amount, then comes the \nB5 Puspakom Ownership Transfer Inspection\n (RM30), and lastly, to the nearest Road Transport Department (JPJ) brand to transfer the ownership (RM 100) of the vehicle. Your existing hire purchase loan is settled, and you can get your new car without any worries!\n\n\n\n\nBut before that, you need to take note that \nbanks usually only allow you to sell your car or trade it in after 5 years (for a car loan term of 9 years) and after 4 to 5 years (for a car loan term of 7 years). This is because some banks impose fines or penalties for early loan settlement as most loans come with a lock-in period. Therefore, you need to know the appropriate time period and the total percentage of fines that will be imposed if you want to settle the car loan debt in lump sum.\n\n\nBuyer Requires an Additional Loan\n\n\nAnother problem arises when the buyer needs to take a loan to buy your car and the banks get involved. They would require a more in-depth report, the B7 Puspakom Hire Purchase Inspection Report (RM60) over the normal B5 report, which generally takes more time to process. The buyer would then arrange for his/her own hire purchase loan approval before you can close the deal. This would also take additional time as the buyer\u2019s bank would have to settle off your bank\u2019s loan. Do note that this process can only go through if the sale value of your car is more than your balance loan.\n\n\n\n\nTo know how much the sale value of your car is, you can visit any used car dealership to get an estimated amount. Or you \nvisit any Carsome Inspection Centers throughout Malaysia for free car inspection and evaluation assistance. A professional and certified inspector will cover 175 inspection points on your car before presenting you with the value sum of your car. Before you head down to your nearest used car dealership or Carsome\u2019s inspection center, do check out \nthis article\n to know what you can do to increase the value of your car and \nhow the loan and interest for your car is calculated.\u00a0\n\n\nNow, what happens if the sale value of your car is not enough to cover your outstanding hire purchase loan? For example, the car that you are selling is for RM 50,000, but you have a balance of another RM 60,000 on your hire purchase loan. If it comes to this, you, the seller will have to top up the extra RM 10,000 to sell your car.\n\n\nAforementioned Payments\n\n\nNow, since you have to top up an additional RM 10,000 to sell your car, you would have to make the aforementioned payment to your bank to get the relevant loan settled and get the paperwork done before the whole process can be concluded.\n\n\n\n\nBut, here\u2019s the catch. Most banks require the outstanding hire purchase loan to be settled in full by the borrower before the car can be sold off. Unless you have RM 60,000 lying around to pay the bank in full, used car dealerships are your next option because they would have the option to settle off your loan in full. Most of the used car dealership would usually charge a processing fee that can go up to RM 5,000 to cover:\n\n\n\n\nInvoice Fee\n\n\nProcessing Fee\n\n\nAgreement Fee\n\n\nJPJ Fee\n\n\nPuspakom Fee\n\n\nA-Auto Fee\n\n\nServicing\n\n\nService Charge\n\n\n\n\nIf you don\u2019t wish to cover any additional charges from these dealerships, you should check out Carsome! At Carsome, your car will be inspected without any cost and you are guaranteed a end-to-end hassle free service when it comes to \nselling your car\n. \nNot only that, but you can also browse through Carsome\u2019s top quality used cars that are for sale.

However, the traditional process of selling a car isn\u2019t as clear cut as getting paid and handing over your keys \u2013 there are various items involved including the dreaded paperwork.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSo, before you kick start the process, you\u2019ll need to understand how to \nsell your car fast\n and what documents you will need.\n\n\nWhat is the car-selling process like in Malaysia?\u00a0\n\n\nThe process is much simpler if you have settled your car loan fully. But if you haven\u2019t, it can be quite a tedious process if you are going the traditional route.\u00a0\n\n\nOf course, nowadays, there are easier solutions to sell your car such as selling it to us (Carsome), where we handle everything for you. So, we\u2019ve listed both options below and have summarised the steps for your consideration.\u00a0\n\n\nThe traditional way of\u00a0 Selling\n\u00a0Your Car Fast\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSet your selling price: \nYou will need to find out how much your car is worth \u2013 this depends on factors such as your car\u2019s model, make, year, condition, any refurbishments, and other factors. You can estimate the price using online evaluators, or find out how much other sellers are listing a car that is similar to yours. However, do note that the price varies between cars despite being the same model, make, and year as it takes into account your car\u2019s current condition as well.\u00a0\n\n\nFind a buyer: \nOnce you\u2019ve determined your selling price, you have to understand that this may not be the final price you will sell it for as it depends on your negotiations with the buyer. You can look for a car dealer who can also check the value of your car (but this might be risky as he or she could undervalue your car\u2019s worth), or you can advertise your car online or put up a \u2018For Sale\u2019 sign up on your car.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheck your car loan:\n If you haven\u2019t settled your car loan, you will need to check the outstanding balance with the bank. In the best case scenario, the agreed price between you and the seller should cover your outstanding balance otherwise you would have to fork out the additional cost. For example, you sell your car for RM30,000 but have an outstanding balance of RM40,000 with the bank. Therefore, you will need to fork out RM10,000 to settle your bank loan.\u00a0\n\n\nGet the car inspected:\n Once you and the buyer have agreed to a price, you will need to get your car inspected at Puspakom. This is to make sure your car is safe to drive and legitimate to avoid stolen or cloned cars. They will also check to make sure your car abides by the legal standards and are free of any illegal fittings, such as over-tinted windows. \nHowever, take note of how the buyer intends to pay as cash payments are much easier to process and require the \nB5 Puspakom Ownership Transfer Inspection\n, while the \nB7 Puspakom Hire Purchase Inspection Report\n is required if the seller intends to take a car loan to cover the cost. For more information on this, you can refer to our \u2018\nHow to Sell Your Car with an Existing Loan\n\u2019\n article.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou will need the following \nDocuments For Selling Your Car\n:\n\n\n\n\nBoth parties\u2019 IC\n\n\nOriginal Registration Card\n\n\nB5 or B7 Inspection Report (Puspakom)\n\n\nJPJ K3 Form\n\n\n\n\nSell Your Car Fast \n\u00a0within 24 hours* to Carsome\n\n\n\n\nSelling a car the traditional way will have multiple back and forths that can drag on for days, if not weeks. This is provided the seller doesn\u2019t back out.\u00a0\n\n\nBecause of this, many opt to sell their cars to platforms such as Carsome because everything, including the paperwork, is handled for you and your car will be off your hands in less than 24 hours. Plus, you can get paid in less than one hour*!\n\n\nHere is how you can \nsell your car\n to Carsome:\n\n\n\n\nBook an appointment & get your car valued\n: You will need to get your car valued by our trained inspectors \u2013 don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s free. All cars go through a 175-point inspection before we can determine how much your car is worth. All you need to do is head over to Carsome\u2019s website \nand click on \u201cSell Your Car\u201d. Just fill in the details and wait for our call to book your appointment at the nearest Carsome center. The inspection only takes about 30 minutes of your time.\u00a0\n\n\nGet offered\n: Once our inspector has valued your car, they will then communicate to you how much your car is worth. You can choose to accept our offer on the spot, or choose to put it up for bidding where dealers will bid for your car \u2013 there may be a chance where you\u2019ll get 20 percent higher than the market trade-in value.\u00a0\n\n\nGet paid in one hour*\n: If you decide to take the offer or bidding price, just let us handle all the paperwork and you can get paid in one hour*. You also don\u2019t have to go through the hassle of the Puspakom inspection checks!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBut before you head to your Carsome appointment, make sure you have these\n documents for selling a car \nprepared:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nOwner\u2019s IC\n\n\nOriginal Registration Card\n\n\nApproved Permit (AP) Forms (for Recond cars)\n\n\nPurchase Invoice (for cars purchased by cash)\n\n\nOutstanding hire purchase loan statement (if any)\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAlso, if you are a non-Malaysian and want to sell your car through Carsome, we do that too! \nClick \nhere\n for more information.\n\n\nSo, we do hope you have a seamless car-selling experience, which is possible if you sell your car to Carsome!\u00a0\n\n\n*This subject to terms and conditions. \n\n", "Carsome Author", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Namun begitu, kedua-dua istilah ini mungkin kedengaran asing di telinga anda terutamanya jika anda baru pertama kali terlibat dalam urusan pinjaman bank. Secara amnya, laporan CCRIS dan CTOS memainkan peranan penting lebih-lebih lagi jika anda ingin memohon \npinjaman untuk pembelian kereta\n atau pinjaman perumahan. Mengapa laporan CCRIS dan CTOS penting untuk pinjaman bank? Bagaimana skor kredit atau \ncredit score\n berfungsi dan mempengaruhi kemampuan peminjam untuk mendapatkan pinjaman? Carsome menyenaraikan maklumat-maklumat berkaitan CCRIS dan CTOS seperti berikut untuk panduan anda.\n\n\n\n\nApa itu Laporan CCRIS?\n\n\nSistem Maklumat Rujukan Kredit Pusat atau\n Central Credit Reference Information System\n (CCRIS) merupakan platform perkhidmatan yang menyediakan Laporan Kredit Peribadi mengenai peminjam atau bakal peminjam ke dalam Laporan Kredit Standard. Sistem bank individu diintergrasikan secara terus ke dalam sistem CCRIS dan mengeluarkan laporan kredit entiti atau individu secara automatik semasa proses kelulusan kredit. CCRIS mengumpulkan maklumat kredit peminjam daripada pengendali pelbagai perkhidmatan kewangan yang mengambil bahagian di Malaysia.\n\n\nMaklumat-maklumat ini boleh diakses oleh institusi kewangan seperti bank, syarikat insurans, penyedia pinjaman kredit, agensi kerajaan dan syarikat utiliti swasta atau individu berdasarkan permintaan. Institusi-institusi kewangan ini juga akan mengemaskini laporan kelakuan kredit peminjam ke dalam sistem pusat ini secara berkala:\n\n\n\n\nProfil peminjam (nama, nombor kad pengenalan/nombor pendaftaran perniagaan, tarikh lahir/pendaftaran, alamat, dan lain-lain);\n\n\nMaklumat permohonan kredit (jumlah pinjaman, tarikh permohonan, jenis kemudahan);\n\n\nMaklumat akaun kredit (jenis kemudahan kredit, had kredit, baki hutang, jumlah ansuran, pengendalian akaun dan status tindakan undang-undang, jika ada).\n\n\n\n\nSemua maklumat ini kemudiannya dikumpulkan menjadi laporan kredit yang boleh diakses oleh insitusi kewangan untuk mendapatkan maklumat kelakuan kredit anda (pinjaman tertunggak, saman dan status muflis seseorang individu). Dalam erti kata lain, laporan CCRIS membolehkan pihak bank mengakses maklumat untuk mengetahui kemampuan untuk membayar balik pinjaman baharu atau mengenal pasti sejarah pembayaran pinjaman sebelum ini.\n\n\nApakah Maklumat yang Disediakan dalam Laporan CCRIS?\n\n\nLaporan CCRIS mengandungi 3 maklumat kategori utama seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTunggakan Kredit/\nOutstanding Credit\n \u2013 Laporan ini menunjukkan kemudahan kredit belum selesai yang dimiliki oleh peminjam termasuk semua maklumat kredit peribadi, perniagaan atau sekiranya peminjam merupakan sebahagian daripada mana-mana pemilikan syarikat atau badan profesional;\n\n\nAkaun Perhatian Khas/\nSpecial Attention Accounts\n \u2013 Bahagian laporan ini menunjukkan kemudahan kredit peminjam yang tertunggak dalam pantauan ketat institusi kewangan Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) yang mengambil bahagian. Ia termasuk pinjaman tidak berbayar atau \nNon Performing Loan\n (NPL) atau peminjam di bawah jadual pengurusan hutang khas Agensi Kaunseling dan Pengurusan Kredit (AKPK);\n\n\nPermohonan Kredit/\nCredit Application\n \u2013 Menunjukkan laporan permohonan pinjaman atau kredit yang diluluskan atau dilakukan dalam tempoh 12 bulan terkini.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNamun begitu, laporan CCRIS tidak hanya memaparkan maklumat kredit peminjam yang negatif semata-mata. Laporan ini turut menunjukkan maklumat positif seperti kelulusan kredit dan sejarah pembayaran balik yang mengikut jadual. Ramai peminjam yang beranggapan bahawa CCRIS akan menyenarai hitam peminjam sekiranya peminjam mempunyai corak pembayaran yang buruk. Ini\u00a0 merupakan suatu tanggapan atau persepsi yang salah kerana CCRIS hanya menyediakan data yang akan digunakan oleh institusi kewangan, tidak memberikan sebarang pendapat atau menyenarai hitam mana-mana individu.\n\n\nKredit: \nbanknegaramalaysia\n\n\nBagaimana Anda Boleh Memohon Laporan CCRIS?\n\n\nLaporan CCRIS boleh didapati secara \nonline\n percuma melalui tiga cara popular berikut:\n\n\n1. Kiosk Bank Negara Malaysia\n\n\nLawati mana-mana cawangan Bank Negara Malaysia untuk mendapatkan laporan CCRIS secara percuma. Bawa bersama kad pengenalan (MyKad) untuk pengesahan.\n\n\n2. Agensi Kaunseling dan Pengurusan Kredit (AKPK)\n\n\nAKPK juga menyediakan perkhidmatan untuk mendapatkan laporan CCRIS secara percuma. Bawa kad pengenalan (MyKad) dan dokumen sokongan berkaitan ke mana-mana cawangan Agensi Kaunseling dan Pengurusan Kredit (AKPK) untuk mendapatkan laporan ini.\n\n\n3. eCCRIS Bank Negara Malaysia\n\n\nSelain itu, anda juga boleh mendapatkan laporan CCRIS melalui portal dalam talian eCCRIS. Namun begitu, anda perlu berdaftar dengan Bank Negara Malaysia atau AKPK terlebih dahulu. Kunjungi mana-mana kiosk CCRIS untuk mendapatkan nombor PIN enam digit. Kemudian, log masuk ke dalam\n portal eCCRIS\n untuk mendapatkan laporan kredit anda secara percuma. Senarai penuh lokasi kiosk CCRIS boleh didapati \ndi sini\n.\n\n\nCara Dapatkan Laporan CCRIS Secara Online Melalui eCCRIS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLayari laman web eCCRIS, kemudian log masuk ke dalam \nportal eCCRIS\n;\n\n\nJika anda pengguna kali pertama, klik Log Masuk Kali Pertama/\nFirst Time Login\n;\n\n\nKemudian, isi maklumat dan nombor PIN yang diperlukan dan klik Hantar/\nSubmit\n;\n\n\nIkuti arahan selanjutnya untuk melengkapkan proses pendaftaran;\n\n\nSetelah selesai pendaftaran, log masuk ke dalam portal eCCRIS dan pilih Pertanyaan/\nEnquiry\n untuk mendapatkan laporan CCRIS anda.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKredit: \nBank Negara Malaysia | Central Bank of Malaysia (Official)\n\n\nApa itu Laporan CTOS?\n\n\nSama seperti CCRIS, CTOS juga turut menyediakan laporan kredit yang digunakan secara meluas oleh institusi kewangan untuk menentukan kelayakan kredit pemohon. Secara amnya, CTOS merupakan salah satu Agensi Pelaporan Kredit (CRA) swasta di bawah Akta Agensi Pelaporan Kredit 2010. Lazimnya, institusi kewangan di Malaysia menggunakan lebih daripada satu laporan kredit untuk mengetahui tahap kesihatan kredit pemohon. Maklumat-maklumat yang dipaparkan dalam laporan kredit CTOS diperoleh daripada pelbagai sumber awam seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\nJabatan Pendaftaran Negara;\n\n\nPendaftar Pertubuhan;\n\n\nJabatan Insolvensi Malaysia;\n\n\nSuruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM);\n\n\nPenerbitan prosiding undang-undang dan notis pemberitahuan di surat khabar atau warta kerajaan.\n\n\n\n\nApakah Maklumat yang Disediakan dalam Laporan CTOS?\n\n\nLaporan CTOS menyediakan laporan lengkap berkaitan seperti status kebankrapan peminjam, tindakan undang-undang dan kes-kes mahkamah yang sedang berlansung atas nama peminjam. Selain itu, ia juga menyediakan maklumat berkaitan perniagaan individu, pemilikan perniagaan (jika ada), penglibatan dalam aktiviti kewangan perniagaan dan sebagainya. Sama seperti CCRIS, CTOS tidak memberikan sebarang ulasan, pendapat atau menyenarai hitam mana-mana individu.\n\n\nBagaimana Anda Boleh Memohon Laporan CTOS?\n\n\nAnda boleh mendapatkan laporan lengkap CTOS melalui portal dalam talian. Anda hanya perlu mendaftar sebagai pengguna untuk mendapatkan ID Pengguna portal ini. Setelah ID diaktifkan, anda boleh mengakses laporan CTOS pada bila-bila masa sama ada melalui\n portal CTOS\n atau \naplikasi CTOS\n yang boleh dimuat turun ke telefon pintar anda melalui Google Play Store dan Apple App Store.\n\n\nCara Dapatkan Laporan CTOS Secara Online\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLayari laman web CTOS, kemudian masukkan segala maklumat yang diperlukan;\n\n\nAnda akan terima Kod Pengesahan/\nVerification Code\n, masukkan dan klik Teruskan/\nContinue\n;\n\n\nIkuti arahan selanjutnya untuk melengkapkan proses pendaftaran;\n\n\nSetelah pendaftaran selesai, laporan CTOS akan dihantar melalui e-mel anda. Pastikan anda memasukkan emel yang sah dan aktif semasa pendaftaran.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApa itu Skor Kredit atau \nCredit Score\n CTOS?\n\n\nSecara amnya, skor CTOS diwakili oleh nombor 3 digit yang menunjukkan kelayakan kredit semasa peminjam. Dalam erti kata lain, skor kredit merujuk pada penilaian sejarah kredit individu dan kemampuan individu untuk membayar balik pinjaman kewangan. Semakin tinggi skor kredit, semakin tinggi peluang anda untuk mendapatkan pinjaman. Berdasarkan garis panduan standard CTOS, skor CTOS yang baik adalah antara 697 hingga 850. Memiliki skor kredit yang tinggi semestinya memberi kelebihan buat bakal peminjam. Ini kerana institusi kewangan mempercayai kredibiliti anda sebagai peminjam berdasarkan kelakuan kredit anda sebelum ini.\n\n\nSelain itu, skor kredit yang tinggi meningkatkan peluang anda untuk mendapatkan pinjaman, kelulusan pinjaman yang lebih cepat dan kadar faedah yang lebih baik. Namun begitu, ini tidak bermaksud memiliki skor CTOS yang lebih rendah tidak melayakkan anda untuk mendapatkan pinjaman. Kebiasaannya, pihak bank atau institusi kewangan akan turut menilai aspek lain selain skor kredit sebelum meluluskan atau menolak permohonan pinjaman atau kredit baharu.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nKredit: \nUtusan Malaysia\n\n\nBagaimana Skor Kredit atau \nCredit Score\n CTOS dikira?\n\n\nSkor CTOS dikira berdasarkan maklumat kredit daripada data yang dikumpulkan daripada CCRIS dan CTOS. Berikut merupakan 5 faktor yang mempengaruhi Skor CTOS anda:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSejarah Pembayaran/\nPayment History\n (45%)\n \u2013 sama ada bayaran hutang pinjaman dilakukan mengikut jadual atau ada tunggakan/bayaran lewat;\n\n\nJumlah Hutang/\nAmounts Owed\u00a0\n(20%)\n \u2013 jumlah kemudahan kredit dan amaun dipinjam daripada bank, bank cenderung untuk memberi persepsi negatif jika kemudahan kredit atau pinjaman berada pada tahap maksimum;\n\n\nTempoh Sejarah Kredit/\nCredit History Length\n (7%)\n \u2013 tempoh pemilikan kemudahan kredit seperti kad kredit atau pinjaman lain, semakin lama sejarah penggunaan kemudahan kredit, semakin baik skor kredit anda;\n\n\nCampuran Kredit/\nCredit Mix\n\u00a0(14%)\n \u2013 bank turut menilai jenis pinjaman yang dimiliki seperti \npinjaman dengan jaminan\n (pinjaman kereta, rumah) vs \npinjaman tanpa jaminan\n (kad kredit, pinjaman peribadi);\n\n\nKredit Baharu/\nNew Credit\n (14%)\n \u2013 status permohonan baharu sebelum ini (diluluskan/ditolak).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, ketiadaan sejarah pinjaman kredit boleh menjejaskan peluang anda untuk mendapatkan pinjaman. Dalam kebanyakan kes, pihak bank tidak akan menawarkan margin kewangan penuh kepada individu dengan profil kredit yang kosong. Oleh itu, anda disarankan untuk memiliki sekurang-kurangnya satu kemudahan kredit aktif (seperti kad kredit) yang dibayar mengikut jadual untuk memudahkan urusan anda membuat pinjaman kelak.\n\n\nMengapa Bank Memerlukan Laporan CCRIS dan CTOS?\n\n\nLaporan kredit ini secara tidak langsung membuktikan kecekapan anda mentadbir urus kewangan dan kemampuan anda untuk membayar balik hutang pinjaman dengan baik tanpa sebarang masalah. Selain itu, bank memerlukan kedua-dua laporan ini untuk membantu penilaian skor kredit akhir sebelum membuat keputusan untuk memberi pinjaman kepada anda. Meskipun laporan CCRIS dan CTOS memberi maklumat lengkap mengenai sejarah dan pengurusan kewangan, kedua-dua laporan ini bukanlah skor kredit akhir anda.\n\n\nSkor kredit akhir biasanya ditentukan sepenuhnya oleh institusi kewangan yang memproses permohonan pinjaman anda. Setiap bank dan institusi kewangan mengamalkan cara yang berbeza untuk menilai skor kredit akhir anda. Oleh itu, buat permohonan pinjaman ke beberapa bank untuk pertimbangan penilaian.\n\n\nKredit: \nCTOS\n\n\nApakah Perbezaan Antara Laporan CCRIS dan CTOS?\n\n\nSecara amnya, CCRIS dan CTOS menyediakan laporan kredit, namun berbeza daripada aspek pemerolehan maklumat kredit. Oleh sebab itu, Carsome menyenaraikan perbezaan berikut untuk rujukan anda:\n\n\n\ud83d\udccc \nCCRIS diuruskan oleh Biro Kredit Bank Negara Malaysia, manakala CTOS diuruskan oleh syarikat persendirian;\n\n\n\ud83d\udccc \nMaklumat laporan CCRIS diperoleh daripada institusi kewangan yang mengambil bahagian. CTOS pula mendapatkan maklumat berkaitan kredit daripada sumber awam;\n\n\n\ud83d\udccc \nCCRIS menyediakan maklumat berkaitan kelakuan pembayaran balik pinjaman dalam tempoh 12 bulan terkini berdasarkan laporan bulanan oleh institusi kewangan;\n\n\n\ud83d\udccc \nCTOS pula menyediakan maklumat tambahan yang tidak boleh ditemui dalam laporan CCRIS seperti status kebankrapan, tindakan undang-undang dan status kes berkaitan yang sedang berlangsung. Data ini biasanya disimpan untuk jangka masa yang tidak terhad;\n\n\n\ud83d\udccc \nLaporan CCRIS memaparkan maklumat berkaitan tunggakan bayaran, akaun perhatian khas dan status permohonan pinjaman yang dilakukan oleh individu. Namun begitu, laporan CTOS pula antara lain turut menyediakan maklumat berkaitan penglibatan individu dalam perniagaan dan syarikat;\n\n\n\ud83d\udccc \nMaklumat kredit CCRIS bertujuan untuk menjejaki kelakuan bayaran balik pinjaman, manakala maklumat CTOS bertujuan untuk mengetahui tahap kesihatan kredit peribadi peminjam.\n\n\nApakah Kepentingan CCRIS dan CTOS?\n\n\nLaporan CCRIS dan CTOS membolehkan pihak bank menyemak sejarah kredit anda terlebih dahulu sebelum memproses permohonan pinjaman anda. Dalam erti kata lain, laporan kredit ini digunakan oleh pihak bank untuk menilai kemampuan dan keupayaan untuk membayar balik pinjaman yang dilakukan. Pihak bank biasanya akan meluluskan atau menolak permohonan anda bergantung pada maklumat yang dipaparkan dalam laporan kredit anda. Selain itu, pihak bank juga akan mengira dan menentukan Nisbah Khidmat Hutang atau \nDebt Service Ratio\n berdasarkan laporan kredit individu ini.\n\n\nSecara amnya, pihak bank mengambil risiko bagi setiap permohonan yang diluluskan. Oleh itu, mereka perlu menilai dengan teliti berdasarkan rekod kredit CCRIS dan CTOS ini sebelum membuat keputusan. Laporan CCRIS dan CTOS boleh dianggap sebagai rekod dalam sistem navigasi kereta anda, namun dalam versi yang tidak boleh diubah atau dipadam. Ia merupakan rekod kekal yang menunjukkan sejarah pembayaran kredit sebelum ini dan komitmen kewangan semasa yang ditanggung. Oleh itu, anda perlu memastikan laporan kredit ini berada dalam keadaan baik untuk mengelakkan permohonan pinjaman anda daripada ditolak.\n\n\nTips Menambah Baik Rekod Laporan CCRIS dan CTOS\n\n\nJika laporan CCRIS dan CTOS anda tidak disukai oleh pihak bank, ia mungkin boleh menyukarkan anda untuk mendapatkan pinjaman. Carsome menyenaraikan tips berikut untuk membantu anda menambah baik rekod laporan CCRIS dan CTOS untuk memudahkan urusan permohonan pinjaman anda:\n\n\n\n\nSekiranya anda mempunyai had penggunaan kredit yang tinggi, bayar sebahagian daripada kredit anda sebelum mengemukakan permohonan pinjaman baharu;\n\n\nPastikan baki hutang sentiasa rendah dan bayar semua hutang kad kredit setelah berbelanja;\n\n\nBerunding dengan pihak bank untuk menunda tarikh kitaran bil anda sekiranya tarikh akhir pembayaran lebih awal daripada hari pembayaran anda;\n\n\nBayar semua bil tepat pada masanya, gunakan kemudahan debit automatik untuk mengelakkan pembayaran melebihi masa yang ditetapkan;\n\n\nJika anda menyedari ada rekod pembayaran lewat, tunggu selama 12 bulan daripada rekod pembayaran lewat terakhir sebelum mengemukakan permohonan pinjaman baharu;\n\n\nHadkan jumlah permohonan pinjaman dan kredit anda. Berbeza dengan amalan popular, terlalu banyak permohonan pinjaman atau kredit boleh menyebabkan anda kehilangan peluang untuk mendapatkan tawaran yang terbaik.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPengetahuan mengenai cara bank menilai kredibiliti kewangan peminjam adalah penting untuk membantu anda sekiranya anda ingin mendapatkan kereta pertama melalui pinjaman bank. Malah, pengetahuan mengenai kesihatan kredit ini juga penting untuk mengelakkan permohonan anda daripada ditolak disebabkan oleh skor kredit yang rendah.\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda sedang mempertimbangkan untuk \nmenjual kereta lama \ndan berminat untuk mendapatkan\n kereta terpakai baharu\n, layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

Aplikasi mudah alih ini membolehkan pengguna mengenal pasti lokasi stesen pengecasan berdekatan.\n\n\nSoalan Lazim Berkaitan Kereta Elektrik Malaysia\n\n\nKami turut menyediakan soalan-soalan lazim berkaitan kereta elektrik bagi menjawab persoalan lazim yang biasa diajukan.\n\n\n1. Di manakah lokasi pengecasan atau \ncharging station\n bateri kereta elektrik?\n\n\nPengecasan boleh dilakukan di mana-mana lokasi yang mempunyai sumber elektrik. Kereta elektrik jenis PHV (\nplug-in hybrid electric vehicle\n) dan EV (\nelectric vehicle\n) boleh menggunakan sumber elektrik domestik. Namun begitu, anda boleh rujuk senarai penuh lokasi stesen pengecasan seperti jadual di atas.\n\n\n2. Berapa lamakah tempoh pengecasan?\n\n\nTempoh pengecasan di stesen pengecasan adalah bergantung pada 4 perkara \u2013 tahap kuasa stesen pengecasan, OBC (\non-board charging\n), tahap bateri semasa (atau keadaan pengecasan) dan saiz bateri kereta elektrik anda.\n\n\n3. Berapa jauhkan jarak pemanduan?\n\n\nKebiasaannya, kuasa bateri dengan pengecasan penuh mampu membekalkan tenaga untuk jarak pemanduan antara 200km hingga 400km atau lebih bergantung pada cara pemanduan.\n\n\n4. Benarkah kereta elektrik sifar pelepasan?\n\n\nKereta elektik merupakan kenderaan sifar pelepasan kerana beroperasi tanpa enjin yang memerlukan proses pembakaran dan pelepasan sisa bahan api. Kereta elektrik dianggarkan mengeluarkan kadar pelepasan antara 17-30 peratus lebih rendah berbanding kenderaan diesel atau petrol.\n\n\n5. Adakah harga kereta EV lebih mahal berbanding kereta konvensional?\n\n\nHarga kereta elektrik di Malaysia masih boleh dianggap sebagai mampu milik. Perkembangan teknologi pada hari ini banyak membantu menurukan harga EV. Contohnya, kos bateri kereta elektrik kini berkurangan hampir 80 peratus berbanding sedekad lalu. Berdasarkan anggaran, kos penggunaan EV hanya satu pertiga berbanding kenderaan konvensional.\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda ingin membeli kereta elektrik baharu sebagai usaha kecil anda untuk menjadikan Malaysia lebih mesra alam dan bebas pencemaran, anda boleh mempertimbangkan untuk \nmenjual kereta lama\n anda kepada kami.

Ini 10 Servis Yang Wajib Anda Buat Sebelum Pulang Beraya!", "By\n \nAhmad Azwadie Azman", "13/04/2023", "\n\n\n\n\n", "Anda ada dua pilihan. Sama ada perjalanan pulang ke kampung anda aman, damai, tanpa sebarang masalah. Atau, di pertengahan perjalanan semasa anda memandu tiba-tiba timbul masalah dengan kereta yang anda pandu.\u00a0\n\n\nBayangkan kereta rosak di tengah lebuh raya semasa panas terik bulan puasa ini, peritnya Tuhan saja yang tahu! Ataupun kereta rosak pada waktu malam dan ketika itu anda berada di luar bandar. Satu buah rumah pun tak kelihatan!\u00a0\n\n\nSemua bergantung kepada anda. Anda yang pilih nak berada dalam situasi yang mana. Dan ia bergantung sama ada anda buat atau tidak servis kereta sebelum pulang ke kampung.\u00a0\n\n\nServis Kereta, Jangan Tak Servis!\u00a0\n\n\nSebelum memulakan apa-apa perjalanan terutama perjalanan yang sangat panjang dan lama seperti pulang ke kampung, pastikan kereta anda dah diservis terlebih dahulu.\u00a0\n\n\nJika anda baru saja selesai servis kereta, anda sangat digalakkan untuk membuat pemeriksaan kendiri kereta. Ini kerana mungkin ada komponen yang terlepas daripada pemeriksaan lepas ataupun ada komponen yang baru rosak selepas servis sebelum ini.\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk membantu anda, ini senarai komponen yang boleh anda periksa bagi memastikan kereta anda dalam keadaan baik sebelum memulakan perjalanan balik kampung anda. Barulah boleh \nenjoy\n!\u00a0\n\n\n1. Tayar\u00a0\n\n\nMari kita periksa satu-satunya komponen yang sentiasa menyentuh jalan raya iaitu tayar. Jangan dibuat main apabila kita bercakap tentang tayar ya! Jika tayar kereta anda tidak diberikan perhatian yang secukupnya, anda sendiri yang akan merana nanti!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nSelamat Ke Tayar Buatan Tahun 2019? Bila Tayar Lama Ni Akan Luput?\n\n\nUntuk tayar, cuba periksa ketebalan bunga tayar. Ketebalan bunga tayar kalau boleh, sekurang-kurangya 1.6mm dengan kedalaman sekurang-kurangnya 5mm. Kalau nak lagi mudah, anda tengok saja penanda ini:\u00a0\n\n\n<insert image>\n\n\nKalau bunga tayar sudah hampir sama paras dengan penanda ini, tayar anda perlu ditukar. Dengan segera!\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda perasan tayar cepat kempis, berkemungkinan tayar itu dah rosak. Untuk ini juga, sila tukar tayar anda secepat mungkin untuk mengelakkan anda terlibat dalam kemalangan.\u00a0\n\n\nOh ya, jangan lupa periksa juga tayar ganti kereta anda. Anda tak nak tersadai tepi jalan kerana tayar pancit dan tayar ganti kereta anda sama ada tak cukup angin, rosak, ataupun langsung tiada dalam kereta!\u00a0\n\n\n2. Minyak\u00a0\n\n\nKereta anda bukan hanya menggunakan minyak petrol saja untuk bergerak dan berfungsi. Ada macam-macam jenis minyak lagi yang ada dalam kereta anda untuk memastikan ia boleh berfungsi dengan baik.\u00a0\n\n\nAntaranya seperti minyak enjin, minyak brek, minyak transmisi, minyak gear, dan lain-lain lagi.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSetiap minyak ini mempunyai jadualnya tersendiri seperti minyak enjin perlu ditukar setiap 5,000km, 7,000km, 10,000km, dan 15,000km. Ini bergantung kepada model dan jenis minyak yang dikeluarkan.\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk semua minyak bendalir yang lain, anda boleh rujuk manual dan jadual servis untuk tahu kekerapan penukaran.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Bilah Pengelap Tingkap\u00a0\n\n\nIni mungkin antara komponen yang dipandang ringan oleh kebanyakan pemilik kereta. Tapi ramai yang tak tahu jika bilah pengelap tingkap ini rosak, anda lebih senang untuk terlibat dalam kemalangan.\u00a0\n\n\nJika anda memandu dalam hujan, tanpa bilah pengelap, cermin hadapan kereta akan kabur dengan air hujan. Penglihatan jadi tak jelas dan anda tak nampak jalan di hadapan! Apa yang jadi lepas ini saya serahkan kepada anda untuk fikirkan akibatnya.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPeriksa bilah pengilap cermin \u2013 cermin hadapan dan juga belakang. Jika ia merekah atau keras, sila tukar segera. Bilah ini tak mahal pun tapi ia boleh memudahkan anda memandu ketika cuaca buruk!\u00a0\n\n\n4. Brek\u00a0\n\n\nSebut saja brek, rasanya tak perlu diterangkan lagi tentang kepentingan komponen ini. Nyawa dan keselamatan anda sepanjang pemanduan sangat bergantung kepada komponen ini!\u00a0\n\n\nAda dua jenis brek dalam pasaran. Brek drum dan juga brek cakera. Ada model yang hanya menggunakan brek cakera untuk keempat-empat tayar. Ada juga model kereta yang menggunakan kombinasi brek drum dan brek cakera.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPerhatikan cakera brek, jika sudah berkarat teruk, anda boleh tukarkannya untuk brek yang lebih lancar semasa memberhentikan kenderaan. Periksa juga pad brek. Pastikan ia mempunyai ketebalan yang cukup. Anda tak nak tiba-tiba salah satu (atau semua) brek anda tak berfungsi semasa anda memberhentikan kenderaan.\u00a0\n\n\nSelain itu, minyak brek juga perlu dibersihkan daripada sistem setiap 30,000km. Minyak yang dibiarkan terlalu lama boleh menjadi kotor dan boleh menjejaskan prestasi brek.\u00a0\n\n\n5. Cecair\u00a0\n\n\nBukan anda saja memerlukan cecair untuk hidup, kereta juga perlukan cecair untuk memastikan ia boleh berfungsi dengan baik.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDua cecair yang seperti cecair penyejuk dan cecair pengelap tingkap perlu diperiksa secara berkala. Tangki bagi kedua-dua cecair ini boleh diakses melalui bonet kereta. Cuma perlu pastikan kedua-dua cecair ini berada pada tahap yang sepatutnya.\u00a0\n\n\nPastikan juga ia ditukar mengikut jadual yang telah ditetapkan di dalam rekod servis kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n6. Tali Sawat dan Hos\n\n\nRasanya ramai juga antara pemandu yang selalu terlupa komponen ini apabila memeriksa kenderaan mereka. Mereka lebih memberikan perhatian kepada komponen lain seperti enjin padahal komponen ini juga penting bagi memastikan kereta boleh bergerak dengan lancar.\u00a0\n\n\nTali sawat wajib ditukar setiap 65,000 hingga 100,000km atau setiap tujuh tahun, manakala bagi hos pula wajib ditukar setiap 80,000km. Buat saja pemeriksaan berkala beberapa bulan sekali kerana komponen kereta ini tetap boleh mengalami kerosakan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMacam mana nak tahu, bila hos dan tali sawat ini perlu ditukar? Periksa keadaan fizikalnya. Disebabkan komponen ini diperbuat daripada getah, maka ia akan merekah dan rapuh. Terus tukar jika hos dan tali sawat kereta anda dalam keadaan begini.\u00a0\n\n\nBagi hos getah, periksa juga jika ada kebocoran yang berlaku.\u00a0\n\n\n7. Lampu\u00a0\n\n\nLampu untuk menyinari jalan dan juga masa depan anda (eh?). Tiada lampu, ibarat anda memandu untuk terlibat dalam kemalangan. Disebabkan betapa pentingnya lampu ini, jika mana-mana lampu kereta anda tidak berfungsi, anda boleh disaman!\u00a0\n\n\nPeriksa semua lampu yang ada. Lampu hadapan. Lampu belakang. Lampu isyarat. Lampu kabus. Pastikan semuanya berfungsi dengan baik.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJika ada mana-mana yang tidak menyala apabila suis dah ditekan, cuba anda periksa fius dahulu. Kadang-kadang fius rosak menyebabkan lampu kereta tidak berfungsi. Jika fius dah ditukar tetapi lampu masih lagi tidak berfungsi, barulah anda boleh tukar mentol baharu.\u00a0\n\n\nJika lampu masih tidak menyala walaupun selepas fius dan mentol ditukar, berkemungkinan berlaku kerosakan pada litar. Untuk ini, pergi saja ke bengkel terdekat untuk membaikinya.\u00a0\n\n\nSetiap kereta ada tiga lampu brek di belakang. Pastikan ketiga-tiganya berfungsi apabila brek ditekan. Anda tak nak kena saman hanya disebabkan salah satu lampu brek tidak berfungsi!\u00a0\n\n\n8. Bateri\u00a0\n\n\nTanpa bateri, kereta tidak akan hidup dan semua komponen elektronik dalam kereta tidak dapat digunakan. Tak susah pun nak periksa bateri kereta anda. Ini kerana bateri kereta anda berada di tempat yang mudah untuk dilihat dan dicapai di bawah bonet.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAnda dinasihatkan untuk memeriksa bateri kereta anda dua kali setahun. Apa yang nak diperiksa?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSambungan bateri. Pastikan sambungan tidak berkarat dan tidak longgar.\u00a0\n\n\nParas air bateri. Pastikan air kandungan air bateri mencukupi.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJika anda mempunyai voltmeter, anda boleh periksa voltan bateri. Voltan bateri sepatutnya pada paras antara 12.4 hingga 12.7V.\u00a0\n\n\n9. Pendingin Hawa\u00a0\n\n\nBayangkan anda sedang memandu balik kampung pada waktu siang dan tiba-tiba pendingin hawa kereta menjadi tidak sejuk. Sangatlah menyeksakan badan dan jiwa! Ini belum lagi terpaksa melayan karenah anak-anak yang mengeluh panas.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nMacam Mana Nak Kekal Sejuk Sepanjang Musim Panas Ini\n\n\nUntuk pendingin hawa, jika aliran udara tiba-tiba jadi perlahan atau suhu kereta menjadi kurang sejuk atau jika ada bau busuk keluar daripada saluran pendingin hawa, bawa saja ke pusat servis untuk diperiksa. Ada macam-macam sebab mengapa perkara ini terjadi.\u00a0\n\n\nBoleh jadi ada saluran udara telah kotor, penapis udara tidak ditukar atau gas pendingin hawa telah habis.\u00a0\n\n\n10. Bahagian Dalaman\u00a0\n\n\nBahagian dalam kereta ini tidak termasuk dalam servis teknikal tetapi bahagian dalam kereta yang bersih boleh menjamin perjalanan yang lebih selesa.\u00a0\n\n\nBayangkan berada dalam kereta yang tak bersih selama berjam-jam untuk sampai ke destinasi, keadaan akan jadi sangat-sangat tidak selesa dengan bau busuk yang menusuk hidung dan juga serangga kecil yang akan menemani perjalanan anda!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBiasakan diri untuk membersihkan kereta anda sekali setiap seminggu atau dua minggu. Pastikan tiada sisa makanan yang terbiar lama dalam kereta. Anda juga boleh hantarkan ke cuci perinci supaya bahagian dalaman dan enjin kereta dicuci dengan profesional.\u00a0\n\n\nKereta dah bersih, barulah selesa nak berjalan jauh-jauh!\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n\u2018Test Drive\u2019 Dulu Sebelum Balik Kampung!\u00a0\n\n\nPandu uji ni bukan setakat dibuat sebelum nak beli kereta, sebelum nak balik kampung pun sebaiknya anda perlu buat pandu uji untuk tahu keadaan kereta semasa dipandu. Ada tak sebarang bunyi yang keluar daripada mana-mana bahagian kereta?\u00a0\n\n\nPeriksa juga jika ada sebarang gegaran atau getaran yang anda boleh rasakan semasa memandu kereta, semasa berhenti, dan juga semasa kereta membrek. Jika ada, catatkan juga untuk rujukan mekanik.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nBetul Ke Kalau Stereng Kereta Bergegar Itu Tanda Rak Stereng Kereta Dah Rosak?\n\n\nSenaraikan apa yang tak kena dan kemudian maklumkan kepada mekanik tempat anda hantarkan kereta untuk diservis. Barulah mudah mekanik nak kenal pasti apa bahagian dan komponen yang dah rosak atau terjejas.\u00a0\n\n\nSusah Nak Cari Pusat Servis Yang Bagus Zaman Sekarang Ni!\u00a0\n\n\nSetiap hari, ada saja cerita tentang orang kena tipu dengan bengkel kereta.

Check out the full terms and conditions \nhere\n.\u00a0\n\n\nWhich is the Best 7-Seater Car for Your Family?\u00a0\n\n\nSeven seater cars are convenient for families as they offer\n space \nand storage to fit their \ngrowing family \u2013 in car terms this will generally refer to a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) or a\u00a0 Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV). We may know MPVs as \u201cminivans\u201d as well.\u00a0\n\n\nOf course, every \nfamily\n is different. So, with a wide choice of seven-seater MPVs and SUVs available in the automotive market, which \none\n suits you? \nBut b\nefore we move on further, here are the most obvious differences between MPVs and SUVs \nto note.\u00a0\n\n\nMPVs versus SUVs\n\n\nAn MPV is designed to fit larger groups of people. MPV can seat between five and seven passengers comfortably, while also having ample space for their luggage. Basically, it\u2019s a minivan that is perfect for growing families as it is great in terms of practicality, safety, and everyday commutes.\n\n\nAn SUV, on the other hand, is designed for rough terrains and surfaces. They usually host great storage space compared to regular cars but with a much stronger, sporty look with an easy driving engine. The SUV is perfect for families who often adventure on rough terrains or off-road situations as this car is equipped with features that ensure comfort and safety through your adventure.\n\n\nSo, which is for you? Here are some questions you should answer before you make your decision.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHow big is my family and can they fit in this vehicle?\n\n\nWhat is this vehicle for and what would my daily driving activities be like?\n\n\nWhat are the safety features I need in this vehicle?\n\n\nHow many things can I carry in this vehicle?\n\n\n\n\nThe answers to these questions will help you narrow down your choices based on your needs and wants.\n\n\nHere\u2019s a quick fun fact: The average size of a Malaysian family is usually between three to five people which consists of a mom, dad, and two or three kids, plus a helper in many cases. So, a seven- or eight-seater car would be the perfect choice.\u00a0\n\n\nHere\u2019s are 7\n \u201cMinivans\u201d You Can Upgrade to Fit \nGrowing Families\n\n\nTo help you with your decision-making process, we\u2019ve narrowed down seven five to seven seater cars that are perfect for your family.\n\n\nNissan Serena\n\n\n\n\nOne of the best-selling points of the Nissan Serena is the powered sliding doors that make it easier to get in and out of the car without having to worry about your little\u2019s one hand getting caught in between the doors. Apart from that, this seven seater car seats are spaced in two by two rows, as well as a comfortable three-seater in the third row This allows a walkway in between the middle row seats, so even if your baby is strapped in his or her child seat, your other kids can still easily usher in and out of their seats.\u00a0\n\n\nThere are some of the best safety features that make the Nissan Serena special.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n6 SRS airbags to reduce injury by cushioning the occupants from hitting the interior of the car.\u00a0\n\n\nTraction control system (TCS) that helps you maintain your steered path by reducing engine output while applying brake pressure to specific wheels when slip is detected.\n\n\nVehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) can help you maintain control of the car to prevent understeer or oversteer.\n\n\nISOFIX System that provides a more secure and safe way to attach child seats.\n\n\nIntelligent Around View Monitor (I-AVM) with Intelligent Moving Object Detection (I-MOD) that uses four cameras to give you a 360-degree bird-eye view of the car for easier navigation.

This car is able to seat seven people comfortably and because of its body-on-frame chassis and its large body frame,\u00a0 third-row passengers do not have to compromise on their leg space as other MPVs are known for their tight third-row seating space.\u00a0\n\n\nTo top it off, there are 13 cup and bottle holders. \u2013 perfect for families with kids! You can say goodbye to accidental and messy spills thanks to these holders which are perfectly located all around.\u00a0\n\n\nHere are some of the best safety features of the Toyota Innova.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n7 SRS Airbags to reduce injury by cushioning the occupants from hitting the interior of the car.\u00a0\n\n\nEmergency Stop Signals which will be activated when sudden braking is detected to warn vehicles behind.\n\n\nImpact Absorbing Body and Frame Structure made of high-tensile steel sheets and supplementary materials.\n\n\nISOFIX System that provides a more secure and safe way to attach child seats.\n\n\n\n\nHonda CR-V\n\n\n\n\nHonda CR-V is one of the most practical five-seater SUVs and is called \u201cThe Best Family Car\u2019 by Honda for a reason.

Its pleasingly aesthetic exterior and interior designs are bound to make any mom\u2019s heart skip a beat.

Though it was initially made to be a basic mover that carries people or cargo from point A to point B without any fuzz, that did not stop it from becoming a family favorite in Malaysia.

Kadang-kadang lampu isyarat kanan dihidupkan. Kemudian, tiba-tiba lampu isyarat sebelah kiri pula dihidupkan.\u00a0\n\n\nMesti ada yang fikir, \u201cAbang lori ni suka betul main lampu \nsignal \neh?\u201d.\u00a0\n\n\nSebenarnya, pemandu lori bukanlah sengaja pasang lampu isyarat lori sesuka hati. Dah nama pun lampu isyarat kan? Mestilah ia digunakan untuk mengisyaratkan sesuatu. Tapi apa yang cuba diisyaratkan oleh pemandu lori ini?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSebelum diterangkan dengan lebih lanjut, kebanyakan pemandu dan pengguna jalan raya (termasuklah penulis sendiri) akan berasa gerun apabila memandu atau menunggang berhampiran lori terutama lori bersendi yang besar. Kalau boleh, kita nak cepat-cepat pandu atau tunggang melepasi lori yang di hadapan ataupun sebelah kita.\u00a0\n\n\nBanyak berita kemalangan maut yang melibatkan lori. Ini belum masuk cerita tentang tabiat sebahagian pemandu lori yang suka memandu laju dengan muatan berat. \nSeperti kes kemalangan lori di selekoh ini\n. Gara-gara lori dipandu laju, muatan yang dibawa terjatuh dan menimpa kereta lain dan menyebabkan kecederaan serius kepada pemandu kereta.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nPerkara Yang Anda Perlu Lakukan Sekiranya Kereta Terjunam Ke Dalam Air\n\n\nTetapi, sebahagian besar pemandu lori merupakan pemandu lori profesional. Mereka ini merupakan pemandu terlatih dan kebanyakannya berpengalaman mengendalikan lori membawa pelbagai jenis muatan. Kebanyakan mereka bekerja untuk syarikat logistik atau syarikat besar seperti syarikat petroleum.\u00a0\n\n\n3 Isyarat Wajib Anda Tahu Daripada Abang Lori\u00a0\n\n\nKetika anda sedang memandu, tak kiralah di lebuh raya atau jalan raya dan anda bertemu dengan lori yang sedang dipandu, naluri pertama anda adalah, \u2018kena potong lori ni!\u2019. Kebanyakan lori terutama lori yang sarat dengan muatan berat akan dipandu perlahan. Sangat perlahan. Kalau anda berada di belakang mereka, anda akan tersangkut lama di situ.\n\n\nBetul dah apa yang anda nak buat itu. Tak salah pun kalau nak potong laluan. Tiada masalah. Sebelum anda nak memotong, anda kena pastikan laluan di hadapan lori selamat untuk anda. Tapi macam mana nak lihat kalau ada lori besar menghalang pandangan anda?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHa! Inilah sebabnya pemandu lori ini pasang lampu isyarat mereka. Pemandu lori nampak segalanya daripada kokpit lori kerana kedudukan mereka lebih tinggi. Bergantung kepada lampu isyarat yang dipasang, ia boleh menunjukkan keadaan tertentu di sekitar lori.\u00a0\n\n\nIni 3 lampu isyarat yang sering digunakan oleh pemandu lori untuk berkomunikasi dengan pengguna jalan raya lain semasa memandu:\u00a0\n\n\n1. Isyarat Sebelah Kanan Dipasang\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda memandu menghampiri lori dengan isyarat sebelah kanan terpasang, anda mungkin kena berhati-hati pada ketika ini.\u00a0\n\n\nLampu isyarat sebelah kanan yang dipasang bermakna jalan di hadapan lori tidak selamat untuk dilalui. Mungkin ada halangan yang boleh menghalang kereta di sekeliling untuk melepasi lori. Ataupun mungkin ada lori atau kenderaan lain di hadapan lori tersebut.\u00a0\n\n\nIsyarat sebelah kanan juga dipasang untuk memberitahu kenderaan di belakang bahawa ada kenderaan di laluan bertentangan jika jalan/lebuh raya yang dilalui hanya ada dua lorong sahaja. Jadi, jangan sesuka hati memotong jika anda ternampak isyarat kanan lori dipasang.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Isyarat Sebelah Kiri Dipasang\u00a0\n\n\nKalau lampu isyarat sebelah kanan dimatikan dan lampu isyarat sebelah kiri pula dihidupkan, ini bermakna jalan di hadapan lori telah selamat untuk dilalui. Selain itu, ia juga bermakna tiada kenderaan di laluan bertentangan. Keadaan dah selamat untuk memotong.\u00a0\n\n\nSemasa anda memotong, tak salah jika anda menunjukkan penghargaan kepada pemandu lori yang dah membantu anda. Hon satu kali untuk ucapkan terima kasih!\n\n\n3. Isyarat Berganda Dipasang\u00a0\n\n\nLain pula kalau lampu kecemasan dipasang. Ia dipasang kebiasaannya ketika lori mendaki jalan berbukit. Selalunya, lori dengan muatan yang sarat dan berat akan memandu dengan lampu kecemasan dipasang.\u00a0\n\n\nKenapa lampu isyarat kecemasan dipasang? Ia untuk memberitahu kenderaan di belakang dan di keliling bahawa tidak selamat untuk berada di belakang lori. Jadi, adalah lebih baik untuk anda jarakkan sedikit daripada lori ini. Jika anda nak memotong, memotong dengan berhati-hati.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBONUS! Tips Memandu Berhampiran Lori.\u00a0\n\n\nIni ialah tips bonus untuk anda. Terutama jika anda memandu di laluan yang sering dilalui oleh lori.\u00a0\n\n\n1. Jangan pandu terlalu dekat!\u00a0\n\n\nPernah dengar cerita tentang tayar lori meletup ketika dipandu? Ataupun \ntayar lori tercabut semasa dipandu\n? Ya, ia boleh terjadi secara tiba-tiba. Sudah ada beberapa kes kemalangan yang terjadi melibatkan tayar lori meletup. Ada yang melibatkan kehilangan nyawa! Seperti \nkes kemalangan ini\n.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJika tayar lori tiba-tiba meletup. serpihan tayar boleh terkena pada kenderaan anda jika anda memandu atau menunggang terlalu dengan dengan lori. Disebabkan itulah, jangan pandu atau tunggang terlalu dekat dengan lori. Anda tak nak masuk dalam statistik kemalangan untuk tahun tersebut. Atau habiskan masa beberapa bulan dalam hospital.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nTerlibat dalam Kemalangan? Ini Perkara yang Anda Perlu Lakukan!\n\n\n2. Jangan Memotong Di Sebelah Kiri Lori\n\n\nPemandu lori memandu di sebelah kanan. Oleh itu, titik buta sebelah kiri untuk lori adalah lebih besar di sebelah kiri berbanding di sebelah kanan. Disebabkan itulah, kalau anda nak memotong lori, jangan potong di sebelah kiri lori.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAda kemungkinan besar pemandu lori tidak akan nampak yang kenderaan anda sedang memotong di sebelah kiri jalan. Lagipun, memotong di sebelah kiri jalan adalah menyalahi undang-undang, tak kiralah apa kenderaan yang anda potong laluannya.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Jangan Brek Ketika Memotong Lori\u00a0\n\n\nJika anda nak memotong lori, tak kiralah anda pemandu kereta atau penunggang motosikal, pastikan anda memecut laju semasa memotong. Paling penting, jangan membrek setelah anda memotong dan berhenti terus di hadapan lori!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nLori terutama yang sarat dengan muatan memerlukan jarak berhenti yang panjang dan masa yang lama untuk memberhentikan lori. Jika anda membrek di hadapan mereka, mereka tidak akan sempat berhenti, dan anda? Berkemungkinan besar tidak selamat dan/atau tidak lagi bernyawa.\u00a0\n\n\nTidak Semua Abang Lori Tak Beretika\u00a0\n\n\nBukan semua pemandu lori itu suka memandu dengan laju dan melulu. Kebanyakan mereka merupakan pemegang lesen GDL. Ada di antara mereka merupakan pemandu profesional yang telah memandu jentera berat selama bertahun-tahun.\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, jika anda terjumpa lori yang memasang lampu isyarat seperti di atas, anda dah tahu apa yang perlu dibuat untuk memastikan anda boleh memandu dengan selamat!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJuga, amalkan langkah-langkah selamat jika anda memandu berhampiran lori. Kadang-kadang, anda terpaksa mengalah kerana mereka lebih besar daripada kereta anda dan memerlukan ruang yang lebih untuk dipandu.\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk itu, hati-hati memandu dan jaga diri!\u00a0\n\n", "Tags\nabang lori\nAccident\nkemalangan\npemanduan selamat", "Ahmad Azwadie Azman", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Here Are 8 Signs To Look Out For", "By\n \nDevan S", "14/12/2022", "\n\n\n\n\n", "Your brakes are the only thing responsible for slowing down and stopping your vehicle on the road. Yet, many drivers seem content to continue driving even when they notice something is off with their brakes.\u00a0\n\n\nThis is extremely dangerous as faulty brakes can stop working at any time and the result, more often than not, is fatal. Therefore, it\u2019s always vital to pay attention to the condition of your brakes and get them fixed as soon as possible.\u00a0\n\n\nTo help you take care of your brakes and stay safe on the road, here are the warning signs that your brakes are failing.\n\n\n\n\n1. The Brake Warning Light Comes On\n\n\nThe \nbrake warning light\n usually indicates that the parking brake is engaged but if the light stays on even after you release the brake, it could mean the brake fluid level in the master cylinder is low.\u00a0\n\n\nWhen you press the brake pedal, the master cylinder is actuated and compresses the fluid in the brake lines. The fluid then transfers the pressure to your brake calipers or shoes, creating friction on the brake discs or drums to stop your car. A low fluid level in the brake master cylinder is usually caused by leaks in the brake system, so the brake warning light could also mean that you have a leak somewhere in your brake system.\n\n\nRead More: \nA Guide to Car Warning Lights and Indicators\n\n\n2. Noise from the Brakes\n\n\nHaving noises while braking doesn\u2019t always signify faulty brakes. If your brakes make a \nsquealing sound\n, it could be caused by debris or a light layer of rust on the brakes and should go away after a few minutes of driving. However, it could also mean that one or more of your brake pads are already running thin, exposing the brake wear indicator. This indicator is a piece of metal in your brake pad that\u2019s designed to produce a high-pitched sound when you brake, thus letting you know it\u2019s time to change your brake pads.\n\n\nHowever, if you hear a grinding sound when braking, it could be a warning sign that your brake pads are fully worn down and your brake discs are grinding against metal which could damage them. This is a sure sign that your brakes are faulty and should be looked at by a mechanic.\n\n\n3. The Brakes Feel Soft or Spongy\n\n\nWhen you press the brake pedal, you should feel solid resistance under your foot. If your brakes feel soft or if the pedal touches the floorboard, then it\u2019s time to check your brake system. Hydraulic brake fluid doesn\u2019t compress, which is why it works so well at transferring the right amount of pressure to your brakes to stop the car.\u00a0\n\n\nA soft brake pedal often means you have air or moisture in the brake system impairing the function of the brake fluid. Soft brakes could also mean the master cylinder isn\u2019t working properly. Whichever the cause, having soft or spongy brakes is dangerous especially if you need to sudden brake.\n\n\n\n\nRead More:\n \nWhy You Should Visit the New CARSOME Service Center\n\n\n4. Vibrating or Wobbling Steering Wheels While Braking\n\n\nIf your steering wheel vibrates during braking, you most likely have warped or uneven brake discs. When you brake, the brake pads squeeze the discs to slow down your vehicle. However, if the pad bites down on an uneven disc, it will wobble following the bumps on the disc surface and transfer that force up the steering wheel.\n\n\nIf left unchecked, your brake pads and discs will not only wear down unevenly but also prematurely. Solving this problem involves either skimming or resurfacing the brake discs, or replacing them altogether. Skimming involves shaving off a thin layer of the disc to even it out so the pad can properly bite down on it. However, this should only be done if your brake discs are thick enough. Otherwise, replacing them is the best option.\n\n\n\n\nHow a brake disc is skimmed \n[Image credit: cartreatments.com]\n\n\n5. Leaking Brake Fluid\n\n\nLeaking brake fluid is a serious warning sign of faulty brakes as the lack of hydraulic fluid in the brake lines always leads to reduced braking performance. The leak usually occurs at the brake master cylinder which is located at the top of the firewall, on the driver\u2019s side of the engine bay. The cylinder is attached to the bottom of the brake fluid reservoir so it should be fairly easy to locate.\u00a0\n\n\nBut if the leak occurs on the brake lines, it will be more difficult to locate. You can identify if you have leaking brake fluid by noticing if there\u2019s any pool of liquid under your car when you park and by checking the fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir. Brake fluid has a similar consistency as vegetable oil and is usually light yellow when new and turns darker or brown as it ages.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nHow to Check the Six Essential Car Oils & Fluids\n\n\n6. Burning Smell\n\n\nA sharp burning smell from your wheels could indicate overheated brakes. If the smell is accompanied by smoke from the wheels, your brake calipers could be stuck and generate excessive friction. If this happens, immediately pull over and inspect your brakes. Driving with this issue could result in total brake failure, so be sure to get it checked by a professional before you get back on the road.\n\n\n\n\n7. Car Drifting to the Side While Braking\n\n\nIf your car drifts to the side of the road while braking, you could have a brake caliper or hose issue. This usually happens on the front brakes where the brake on only one side is working properly. What happens is, when the brake on one side isn\u2019t working and can\u2019t slow down the \ntires\n, the car gets pulled in the direction of the functional brake.\u00a0\n\n\nIt\u2019s harder to diagnose faulty rear brakes this way as the rear brakes usually don\u2019t provide enough force to pull the car to one side when braking. If you encounter this issue, it goes without saying that you should get your brakes checked. That being said, the best way to catch brake issues early is to get them inspected every time you \nservice your car\n.\n\n\n8. Reduced Braking Performance\n\n\nIf your brakes don\u2019t perform as well as they usually do, it\u2019s an obvious sign to check your brakes. Reduced braking performance can be caused by various factors and can get worse when you least expect it. Therefore, if you notice your car taking longer to stop when you brake, it\u2019s best to get it to the workshop as soon as possible. In the meantime, try to avoid driving it or at least drive more carefully by reducing your speed on the road and avoiding sudden braking.\n\n\nChoose CARSOME for the Promise of Safety\n\n\nPaying attention to the condition of your brakes and maintaining them will keep them functioning as they should, but more importantly, keep you safe on the road.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a pre-owned car but are worried about its roadworthiness and safety, CARSOME has you covered.

It controls the torque and speed of your car so you have the right amount of power when you need it and that it\u2019s delivered smoothly.\u00a0\n\n\nDriving with a faulty gearbox will not only give you a rough and \njerky ride\n, but could cause your car to stall in the middle of the road. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to maintain your gearbox. So, here\u2019s how to identify the symptoms of a faulty gearbox.\n\n\n\n\nWhat Is a Car Gearbox?\n\n\nWhen combustion happens in your engine, the power is transferred to the crankshaft which rotates thousands of times per minute. However, this is too fast for the wheels, so the gearbox converts the power to a rotational speed that the wheels can manage. A conventional gearbox has numerous gears with interlocking teeth which connect to the output shaft.\n\n\nWhen driving at lower speeds or uphill, lower gears are used. Low gears have larger cogs which allow the engine to deliver more torque to the wheels. At higher speeds, higher gears are used instead. High gears have smaller cogs which deliver more speed and lower torque, allowing for smooth driving and better fuel economy on the highway.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nAuto Versus Manual Transmission\n\n\n7 Signs of a Faulty Car Gearbox\n\n\nA gearbox can generally last for more than 150,000 kilometers or for throughout the car\u2019s lifetime with proper maintenance. However, there are times when your gearbox can malfunction, such as with poor driving habits and maintenance. By knowing what to look out for in your car, you can identify issues with your gearbox early and avoid needing major repairs.\n\n\n1. Burnt Smell from the Engine Bay\n\n\nIf you notice a smell like burnt rubber or smoke coming out of your engine, it could indicate some issues with your transmission as burnt transmission fluid has a uniquely harsh smell, similar to burning rubber. If this is accompanied by fluid leakage, it\u2019s a sign that your transmission fluid levels could be dangerously low which can lead to friction on the gears which can lead to the gearbox overheating and catching fire.\u00a0\n\n\nIn some cases, a burnt smell can also be caused by radiator issues or insufficient engine oil. If you notice any unusual smell from your engine, immediately get it checked at the workshop.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nHow to Check the 6 Essential Car Oils & Fluids\n\n\n2. Unusual Sounds from the Gearbox\n\n\nAnother sign of a faulty gearbox is if you hear unusual sounds, especially when shifting gears. As there are hundreds of parts in the gearbox, even a single worn or loose bearing can produce unexpected noises.\u00a0\n\n\nOftentimes, a faulty automatic gearbox will produce humming, whining, or buzzing noises, while a manual gearbox tends to produce harsher clunking noises. Do note that these noises may also indicate problems with the engine, drive shaft, or exhaust, so you should get your vehicle checked to pinpoint the issue.\n\n\n3. Lack of Response When Shifting Gears\n\n\nA difficulty to shift gears is often a clear indication of a faulty gearbox. This can be caused by several reasons including a clogged transmission filter, incorrect transmission fluid, and faulty sensors or solenoids. In vehicles with an automatic gearbox, there may be a delay in the time the gear engages when you shift from drive to park.\u00a0\n\n\nIn a manual gearbox, unresponsive gear shifts can result in a disconnect between the engine\u2019s revolutions per minute (RPM) and the actual vehicle speed and motion. This means that your engine could be revving high but your vehicle isn\u2019t accelerating.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nWhat Is a Car Engine Overhaul and When to Do It\n\u00a0\n\n\n4. The Gear Gets Stuck When Shifting\n\n\nIf your gearbox won\u2019t go into gear, this could be an indicator that you could have several issues. These include mechanical failure, a clogged filter, faulty clutch linkage, incorrect transmission fluid, a malfunctioning computer system or sensor, and other issues. This problem indicates serious issues, so you should get your gearbox repaired immediately as delaying it could result in you needing to replace your gearbox.\n\n\n5. Gear Slipping\n\n\nGear slipping happens when the gear \u201cslips\u201d between gears such as from first into neutral without you shifting gears yourself. Gear slipping most commonly happens right after you shift gears, and usually slips into neutral. This is extremely dangerous as it could cause your car to suddenly stop moving or lurch forward, endangering yourself and the people around you.\u00a0\n\n\nIn a manual gearbox, gear slipping is often caused by a worn-out clutch, while in an automatic gearbox, slipping can be caused by wear and tear on various parts such as the clutch plates and transmission bands. Many modern gearboxes have a safety feature called \u201climp mode\u201d or \u201csafe mode\u201d. This happens when the computer detects a problem with the gearbox and defaults to only one gear to prevent further slipping and allow you to safely drive to a nearby workshop.\n\n\n6. The Transmission Warning Light Comes On\n\n\nHaving the transmission \nwarning light\n come on is often a clear sign that there are issues with your gearbox. The warning light responds to sensors that can detect minor, unusual vibrations that you may not notice, and are located at crucial points in the gearbox. Therefore, you should never ignore it when the warning light comes on. Instead, get your car checked at the workshop immediately.\n\n\n7. Gearbox or Transmission Fluid Leakage\n\n\nThe transmission fluid functions as a lubricant to decrease friction and as a hydraulic fluid to enable gear engagement in the gearbox. If you have a transmission fluid leakage, your gearbox won\u2019t have enough lubrication. The increased friction can wear down the gears and eventually cause overheating in the gearbox.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you see a pool of bright red fluid beneath your car, it\u2019s a sign of leaking transmission fluid. However, if the leaked fluid is dark brown or black and smells like burnt rubber, it could be burnt transmission fluid. In this case, there might already be significant damage requiring major repairs on your gearbox.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nThings to Check When You Service Your Car\n\n\n\n\n4 Automatic Gearbox Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Gearbox in Shape\n\n\nRepairing or replacing a gearbox can cost a bomb even for compact affordable cars. For example, the price of a genuine automatic gearbox for the \nPerodua Myvi\n starts from RM6,000 (including installation) but you can find reconditioned Myvi gearboxes from under RM1,000. By properly maintaining your automatic gearbox, you can extend its service life and reduce the risk of it breaking down \u2013 here are some ways.\u00a0\n\n\n1. Regularly Check Your Transmission Fluid\n\n\nJust like with your engine oil, you should periodically check the level and condition of your transmission fluid. If your transmission fluid level is low, it might mean that you are overdue for a gearbox service or that you have a leakage in your gearbox. Also, do note that transmission fluid that\u2019s in good condition is clear, bright red, and has a slightly sweet smell. If you notice that the fluid has a dark color and acrid smell, it\u2019s time to change it immediately.\n\n\n2. Avoid Driving with a Space Saver Spare Tire for Too Long\n\n\nIn most cars, the spare tire is narrower than the regular tires to allow it to fit in the boot. Due to its size, it\u2019s also called a space-saver tire. Driving with a space-saver tire might not seem like a big deal. However, you might unknowingly be damaging your gearbox if you drive your car for extended periods of time with it. The reason for this is that driving with mismatched tires puts a strain on your car\u2019s gearbox and other drivetrain components. Driving with mismatched tires can also affect the \nalignment of the wheels\n as there will be an unequal force on the wheels and suspension system.\n\n\n3. Use the Right Transmission Fluid\n\n\nEach car gearbox needs the correct fluid, as specified by the manufacturer to run optimally. As different transmission fluids contain different additives and specifications, some fluids may not be compatible with your gearbox. Therefore, make sure to check your owner\u2019s manual and take note of whether you need a manual transmission fluid, automatic transmission fluid, or CVT fluid for a continuously variable transmission (CVT).\n\n\n4. Conduct Regular Maintenance on Your Gearbox\n\n\nRegular maintenance will not only ensure that your gearbox functions smoothly but also increase its lifespan. As the gearbox service interval varies between car models, you can check your owner\u2019s manual to find out the recommended service interval for your car. A gearbox or transmission service generally involves these steps:\n\n\n\n\nExamining the gearbox and other components including the sump pump or pan.\n\n\nFlushing and replacing the transmission fluid.\n\n\nReplacing the transmission filter.\n\n\nCleaning the transmission pan and installing a new pan gasket.\n\n\n\n\nChoose CARSOME Certified for Peace of Mind\n\n\nLooking for a new car?

Tapi, malangnya anda cuma boleh faham beberapa patah perkataan sahaja yang keluar daripada mulut pomen tersebut.\n\n\nIni adalah situasi yang biasa dialami oleh semua orang, lebih-lebih lagi mereka yang kurang pengetahuan dalam bidang automotif. Tanpa pengetahuan yang betul, anda mungkin akan ditipu oleh mereka yang tidak bertanggungjawab apabila menghantar kereta untuk dibaiki, jadi penting sebenarnya untuk anda ambil tahu istilah-istilah yang biasa digunakan oleh para pomen.\n\n\n\n\nBerikut adalah antara perkataan yang anda akan dengar daripada pomen apabila menghantar kereta untuk dibaiki.\n\n\nKong (Rosak)\n\n\nYang ini kami pasti ramai dah biasa dengar. Perkataan \u2018kong\u2019 selalunya digunakan oleh pomen untuk merujuk kepada komponen kereta yang sudah rosak atau tak boleh digunakan lagi dan perlu diganti.\n\n\n\n\n\u201cBateri dah kong.\u201d, \u201cMentol lampu dah kong.\u201d, \u201cPalam pencucuh dah kong.\u201d adalah antara beberapa contoh yang anda akan dengar daripada pomen anda.

Ada juga yang gunakan kereta untuk pikat perempuan (terutama pemilik kereta model H). Tapi ada pemilik kereta yang suka simpan barang dalam kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nMacam-macam barang yang disimpannya. Daripada barang keperluan sampailah kepada dokumen kerja. Kenapa jadi begini? Senang, sebabnya mereka ini malas nak angkut barang daripada kereta ke rumah mereka.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAtaupun, ada juga yang malas nak bawa barang- mereka jika mereka singgah di mana-mana. Mungkin baru lepas habis kerja dan mereka teringin nak melepak kat mana-mana tapi malas nak angkut beg kerja sekali.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda selalu buat begini, kami nasihat anda jangan amalkan perbuatan ini lagi. Itupun kalau anda sayangkan kereta dan nyawa anda sendiri. Ada banyak bahaya yang boleh terjadi jika kita gemar menyimpan barangan di dalam kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nIni merupakan antara contoh barang yang jangan sesekali anda simpan dalam kereta anda:\u00a0\n\n\n1. Beg Galas\u00a0\n\n\nZaman sekarang, orang lebih suka membawa beg galas ke mana-mana termasuklah ke tempat kerja. Dalam beg galas itulah yang diisi dengan pelbagai barangan seperti komputer riba dan gajet lain seperti pemacu memori keras (\nhard drive\n).\u00a0\n\n\nJika beg galas ini ditinggalkan di dalam kereta dan tidak disorokkan, ia boleh menarik perhatian pencuri. Pencuri sanggup buat apa saja, termasuklah memecahkan cermin kereta anda untuk mencuri beg yang ditinggalkan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWalaupun beg yang ditinggalkan itu tidak mengandungi barangan berharga, ia tetap akan menarik perhatian pencuri. Jadi apa yang boleh anda buat? Sorokkan di bawah tempat duduk atau simpan di dalam but kereta atau bawa saja beg galas anda jika anda mahu singgah di mana-mana.\u00a0\n\n\nTetapi kalau kereta anda memiliki but terbuka yang boleh dilihat daripada luar seperti Perodua Kembara, anda bawa sajalah beg galas anda ke mana saja anda pergi.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n2. Minuman Tin\u00a0\n\n\nKenapa anda tak patut simpan minuman tin dalam kereta? Kerana ia boleh meletup dan mengotorkan kerusi dan bahagian dalaman kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nLagi-lagi ketika pada hari yang panas, suhu akan jadi sangat tinggi dalam kereta. Peningkatan suhu ini boleh menyebabkan tekanan dalam tin minuman menjadi tinggi dan seterusnya meletup! Ia mungkin tidak akan menyebabkan kerosakan yang teruk tetapi anda tak nak kerusi kereta anda belengas dan melekit.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Pemetik Api & Tin Gas Pemetik\n\n\nSama juga seperti minuman tin, pemetik api dan juga tin gas isian semula tidak sepatutnya ditinggalkan dalam kereta. Terutama sekali jika ditinggalkan di tengah panas. Suhu persekitaran yang tinggi boleh menyebabkan tekanan dalam tin atau bekas menjadi tinggi dan menyebabkan letupan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTak seperti minuman tin yang hanya boleh menyebabkan kerosakan kecil dan mengotorkan kereta jika ia meletup. Kalau pemetik api atau tin gas pemetik api ini yang meletup, kereta anda pun boleh terbakar sekali!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n \n@carsomemy\n\n\nSebelum keluar kereta, pastikan 5 benda yang bahaya ini tidak ditinggalkan. Nak tahu apa 5 benda tu? Jom layan video kami! \n#CARSOMEMY\n \n#FYP\n \n#CarTips\n\n\n \n\u266c original sound \u2013 CARSOMEMY \u2013 CARSOMEMY\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nKereta Terbakar? Punca dan Cara Elakkan Kebakaran Kereta\n\n\nKalau diparkir dalam tempat parkir awam terbuka, kebakaran kereta merebak ke kereta lain dan boleh menyebabkan bencana yang sangat teruk!\u00a0\n\n\n4. Beg Tangan\u00a0\n\n\nBeg tangan merupakan \u2018teman baik\u2019 semua wanita. Semua benda termasuklah dompet\u00a0 akan diletakkan di dalam beg tangan. Beg tangan ini juga menjadi sasaran mudah pencuri walaupun ia berada di dalam kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSama seperti beg galas, jika beg tangan tidak disorokkan dengan betul di dalam kereta, kereta anda akan jadi sasaran mudah untuk dipecahkan oleh pencuri. Sekalipun beg tangan anda itu kosong, kereta anda berisiko tinggi untuk dipecahkan oleh pencuri kerana pencuri ini tidak pedulikan undang-undang. Asalkan mereka dapat apa yang mereka nak.\u00a0\n\n\n5. Ubat-ubatan\u00a0\n\n\nUbat-ubatan ini dikira sebagai objek yang sangat sensitif dengan suhu. Disebabkan itulah ubat-ubatan ini tidak sesuai ditinggalkan dalam kereta. Jika didedahkan kepada suhu yang terlalu sejuk atau terlalu panas, ia boleh merosakkan ubat dan mengurangkan keberkesanan ubat.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKalau anda tak sengaja meninggalkan ubat dalam kereta terutama semasa cuaca panas terik, kami nasihatkan untuk anda buang dan dapatkan ubat baharu.\u00a0\n\n\nAnda tentu tak nak terkena keracunan ubat dan menyebabkan sakit anda bertambah parah!\u00a0\n\n\n6. Gajet Elektronik\n\n\nSelain daripada berisiko untuk menjadi sasaran pencuri, gajet adalah sangat-sangat tidak selamat untuk disimpan di dalam kereta. Terutama jika kereta diparkir di kawasan yang panas terik.\u00a0\n\n\nGajet yang disimpan mungkin boleh menjadi terlalu panas dan boleh merosakkan komponen sensitif seperti litar dan sebagainya. Suhu tinggi juga boleh menyebabkan kemampuan bateri gajet berkurangan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nYang paling teruk? Gajet anda terutama sekali yang menggunakan bateri ion litium (Li-Ion) boleh meletup dalam kereta kerana terlalu panas. Dah terlalu banyak kejadian gajet meletup dalam kereta seperti \nkejadian ini \nyang berlaku di Malaysia.\u00a0\n\n\n7. Makanan Dan Minuman\u00a0\n\n\nKalau nak memandu jauh, makanan dan minuman ni wajib ada. Tapi ada orang yang suka tinggalkan makanan dan minuman yang dibawa. Mungkin mereka lupa yang makanan dan minuman ini cepat rosak dan boleh menarik perhatian serangga seperti lipas. Siapa saja yang suka naik kereta bersama lipas? Bayangkan kalau ada lipas terbang semasa anda memandu!\u00a0\n\n\nMakanan apabila rosak, ia akan mengeluarkan aroma dan bauan yang tidak menyenangkan dan busuk. Bau busuk ini boleh meresap masuk ke dalam kerusi kereta anda. Bauan yang dah meresap masuk ke dalam kerusi sangat susah untuk dihilangkan!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIni termasuklah bekas yang mengandungi sisa makanan. Untuk itu, kumpulkan sampah yang ada dan buangkan semua sampah sekali gus selepas selesai perjalanan.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nTersangkut Dalam Kesesakan Jalan Raya Masa Nak Berbuka?

Ada orang memiliki patung manusia untuk pelbagai tujuan, daripada untuk perniagaan hinggalah kepada pembelajaran (perubatan) dan juga hiburan (props penggambaran).\u00a0\n\n\nJika anda memiliki patung manusia untuk apa saja tujuan, jangan simpan patung anda dalam kereta terutama di bahagian penumpang! Nanti esok akan tular kes ada warga yang meninggal dunia kerana sakit jantung selepas melihat patung dalam kereta yang disangkanya hantu!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJangan balut patung itu dengan kain putih. Itu langsung tak membantu! Ceraikan bahagian patung dan simpan di bahagian but atau tutup dengan kain yang bukan berwarna putih. Anda juga boleh letakkan barangan lain untuk cuba sorokkan patung tersebut daripada penglihatan.\u00a0\n\n\nKenapa Anda Tak Patut Simpan Banyak Barang Dalam Kereta Anda!\u00a0\n\n\nAnda tak sepatutnya menjadikan kereta anda sebagai tempat simpan barang. Selain daripada bahaya boleh dicuri, barangan seperti botol air yang mudah bergolek berisiko boleh tersangkut pada pedal brek seandainya ia tidak disimpan dengan kemas.\u00a0\n\n\nPedal brek yang dihalang adalah resipi paling bahaya untuk kemalangan maut!\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nTerlibat dalam Kemalangan? Ini Perkara yang Anda Perlu Lakukan!\n\n\nSelain itu, barangan yang disimpan dan dikumpulkan boleh memberatkan kereta. Ia akan menyebabkan kereta menggunakan lebih banyak bahan api untuk bergerak. Jadi, jangan biasakan diri anda menyimpan pelbagai barangan yang tak perlu dalam kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJika perlu untuk anda simpan juga barangan sensitif seperti gajet, simpan dalam ruang papan pemuka. Beg galas dan beg tangan pula anda boleh sorokkan di bawah kerusi atau disimpan di dalam butt. Nak lagi selamat? Bawa sekali dengan anda jika anda mahu ke mana-mana.\n\n\nKereta anda bukanlah dibeli dengan harga yang murah. Ramai dalam kalangan kita masih diikat dengan pinjaman yang masih bertahun lagi lamanya untuk habis. Jadi jagalah kereta anda sebaiknya. Jangan jadikan kereta anda sebagai stor tempat menyimpan barangan.\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, diharapkan tips ini boleh membantu anda dalam menjaga kereta anda dengan lebih baik dan anda boleh kongsikan tips ini kepada mereka yang suka simpan barang dalam kereta.\u00a0\n\n", "Tags\nmakan\nsimpan barang\nTips Kereta", "Ahmad Azwadie Azman", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Ini kerana, kenderaan klon tidak dilindungi oleh insurans dan secara tidak langsung boleh menyebabkan pemilik menanggung kerugian yang tinggi. Kereta klon mendapat permintaan yang tinggi dalam pasaran kereta terpakai kerana harganya dikatakan jauh lebih murah berbanding harga sebenar kereta dalam pasaran. Ia sekali gus menarik minat pembeli untuk memilikinya.\n\n\n\n\nModel kereta mewah seperti Mercedes Benz, Volkswagon, Honda, Toyota, Mini Cooper, Subaru dan Volvo adalah antara \nmodel kenderaan\n klon yang paling diminati serta mendapat permintaan yang tinggi dalam pasaran. Baru-baru ini tular di media sosial seorang pemilik Mazda yang kerap menerima saman atas kesalahan memandu melebihi had laju dan saman-saman lain di lokasi yang tidak pernah dikunjungi sekali gus menimbulkan kegusaran. Setelah disiasat, beliau mendapati ada individu yang tidak bertanggungjawab menggunakan nombor pendaftaran dan cukai jalan yang sama dengan kereta miliknya.\n\n\nApa itu Kereta Klon?\n\n\nKereta klon merujuk pada kenderaan bermotor yang digunakan di jalan raya yang menyerupai kenderaan yang telah didaftarkan di Malaysia. Ia biasanya menggunakan \nnombor plat atau nombor pendaftaran kenderaan\n yang sama yang diambil daripada model serupa yang didaftarkan secara sah. Dalam erti kata lain, identiti kenderaan anda dicuri oleh penjenayah dan digunakan pada kenderaan lain untuk mengaburi mata pihak berkuasa. Kereta klon biasanya dibawa masuk melalui pelabuhan atau sempadan sama ada dari Thailand atau Singapura oleh sindiket.\n\n\nSindiket ini menyeludup masuk kereta daripada negara lain dan memalsukan dokumen, nombor casis serta nombor enjin sebelum dijual kepada pihak orang lain. Sindiket atau penjual kereta klon ini biasanya menjanjikan pelbagai keistimewaan untuk menarik minat pembeli antaranya menguruskan proses \ntukar nama kenderaan\n \ndan menjual kereta mewah terpakai pada harga yang murah. Setelah selesai proses jual beli kereta, sindiket ini akan menghilangkan diri sekali gus menyebabkan pembeli terpaksa menanggung sebarang kerugian yang timbul sekiranya tertangkap.\n\n\n\n\nDokumen dan Nombor Pendaftaran Palsu\n\nKereta klon diberikan identiti baharu termasuk dokumen berkaitan cukai jalan dan geran kenderaan setelah urusan jual beli selesai. Pemalsuan biasanya melibatkan kereta sedia ada dengan model dan warna yang sama.\n\n\nNombor Casis\n\nNombor casis yang diberikan merupakan nombor casis palsu. Ia biasanya diambil daripada kereta yang mengalami \nkerosakan penuh (total lost) akibat kemalangan\n.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApa yang Berlaku Jika Anda Membeli Kereta Klon?\n\n\nSecara amnya, individu atau pemilik yang disyaki memiliki kenderaan klon boleh didakwa atas\n kesalahan memiliki kenderaan yang tidak didaftarkan\n. Jika anda telah tersilap membeli kereta klon, anda berkemungkinan akan mengalami dua kali ganda kerugian \u2013 kereta yang dimiliki dan wang yang dibelanjakan untuk membayar kenderaan tersebut. Oleh itu, sebelum membeli kereta terpakai, pastikan anda membuat semakan lanjut untuk mengelakkan anda daripada ditipu oleh sindiket yang tidak bertanggungjawab.\n\n\nPemilik kereta klon boleh dikenakan tindakan mengikut Seksyen 7 (1) \nAkta Pengangkutan Jalan 1987\n yang boleh membawa kepada hukuman denda tidak melebihi RM2,000. Selain itu, jika didapati mempamerkan maklumat nombor pendaftaran palsu, pemilik berkenaan boleh didakwa mengikut Seksyen 103(3)(f) yang membawa hukuman denda tidak kurang daripada RM5,000 dan tidak melebihi RM20,000, atau penjara tidak kurang dan tidak melebihi lima tahun jika disabitkan kesalahan.\n\n\nPemilik kereta klon yang tidak mempunyai perlindungan insurans yang sah juga boleh didakwa mengikut Seksyen 90(1) yang membawa hukuman denda tidak melebihi RM1,000 atau penjara selama tempoh tidak melebihi tiga bulan atau kedua-duanya sekali.\n\n\nCara Elakkan Diri daripada Menjadi Mangsa Penipuan Kereta Klon\n\n\nRamai dalam kalangan pemilik yang tidak menyedari dan tidak mengetahui bahawa mereka sebenarnya telah terbeli kereta klon. Untuk mengelakkan anda daripada menjadi mangsa penipuan, CARSOME menyenaraikan tips berikut untuk mengelakkan diri daripada tertipu:\n\n\n\n\nAmbil tahu kadar pasaran semasa kereta yang ingin dibeli. Lakukan tinjauan secara dalam talian melalui platform jual beli kereta terpakai yang tersedia seperti \nCARSOME\n\u00a0\ndan sebagainya.\n\n\nElakkan berurus niaga sekiranya kereta ditawarkan pada harga yang lebih murah atau lebih rendah berbanding harga pasaran semasa. Kebiasaannya kereta klon dijual pada harga 50 peratus lebih rendah daripada harga pasaran.\n\n\nPeriksa Nombor Pengenalan Kenderaan atau \nVehicle Identification Number\n (VIN). Pastikan nombor yang tercatat dalam dokumen adalah sama dengan nombor yang tertera pada kereta anda. Kebiasaannya, nombor VIN boleh didapati di bahagian bonet kereta, cermin hadapan dan bahagian tempat duduk pemandu.\n\n\nElakkan melakukan transaksi secara tunai. Kaedah pembayaran secara tunai boleh menyukarkan pihak polis untuk menyiasat dan mengesan sindiket kereta ini.\n\n\nElakkan daripada membayar sejumlah besar bayaran pendahuluan secara tunai.\n\n\nJika anda membeli kereta daripada pihak persendirian, pastikan transaksi dijalankan di alamat penjual yang berdaftar. Elakkan berurus niaga di kawasan awam seperti kawasan tempat letak kereta atau stesen minyak.\n\n\nLuangkan masa dengan meneliti setiap dokumen yang diberikan. Jika anda meragui kesahihan status kenderaan, bawa dokumen tersebut ke Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan untuk semakan dan pemeriksaan lanjut.\n\n\nSebelum beli, tanyakan kepada penjual nombor pendaftaran, tahun buatan dan model kereta yang ingin dibeli. Lakukan semakan lanjut untuk kepastian.\n\n\nBeli kereta terpakai\n daripada pengedar kereta terpakai yang sah atau melalui platform jual beli kereta \nonline\n yang dipercayai seperti CARSOME.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApa yang Perlu Anda Lakukan Sekiranya Identiti Kereta Anda Dicuri?\n\n\nJika nombor plat kereta anda dicuri dan digunakan oleh pihak lain, laporkan kepada pihak polis dengan segera. Dalam kes tertentu, anda mungkin tidak menyedari bahawa identiti kereta anda telah digunakan oleh pihak lain sehinggalah anda menerima \nsaman trafik atau saman-saman lain\n di lokasi-lokasi yang tidak pernah anda kunjungi.\n\n\n\n\nHubungi pihak yang berkaitan untuk penjelasan lanjut;\n\n\nKemukakan bukti sokongan yang menyatakan saman atau kompaun yang diterima bukan disebabkan oleh anda;\n\n\nBuat laporan polis untuk siasatan dan semakan lanjut.\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda berminat untuk \nmemiliki kereta pramilik yang berkualiti\n \ndengan keselamatan melebihi standard, keselesaan sepenuhya, dan esterik yang dibaik pulih, layari laman web CARSOME untuk maklumat lanjut. CARSOME merupakan \nplatform jual beli kereta terpakai\n \nyang menawarkan tawaran harga terbaik dengan perkhidmatan yang mudah, cekap dan pantas.\n\n", "Ahmad Azwadie Azman", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

While there are many choices out there, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programs are gaining popularity.\u00a0\n\n\nIn fact, TVET graduates are \nsaid\n \nto have an upper hand\n in securing jobs within a specific industry, compared to fresh college graduates. They are also in \nhigh demand\n because they have specific skills that employers are looking for.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTVET offers both classroom education (theory), and hands-on practical job training (technical) to fully equip them for a specific skill such as becoming a motor vehicle inspector. So, let\u2019s dive deeper into this.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat is TVET?\n\n\nTVET is a training program that equips you with technical and vocational education to prepare you for a specific skill, within a specific industry \u2013 you may know it as \u2018vocational training\u2019 or \u2018apprenticeship\u2019, among other names.\u00a0\n\n\nPreviously, TVET carried the misconception that it was for those who are less outstanding in academics but these days, \nTVET graduates are attracting more employers\n because of the mismatch in skills within the industry when it comes to employability. The TVET program aims to provide valuable, practical knowledge and skills to increase their potential in attracting job opportunities.\n\n\n\n\nBesides that, TVET is also part of the \nVocational Education Transformation Plan\n which aims to make Malaysia a high-income nation. TVET programs are offered at certificate, diploma, degree and postgraduate levels in Malaysia, which are offered by various colleges or agencies \u2013 these certificates are recognized by several bodies including \nthe \nMalaysian Quality Accreditation (MQA)\n and \nDepartment of Skills Development (JPK)\n.\u00a0\n\n\nIn Malaysia, there are \ntwo routes to enter a TVET program \n\u2013 with Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) or Form 3 Assessment (PT3).\u00a0\nWith this, SPM graduates have a choice of furthering their studies with a Certificate or Diploma in a highly skilled TVET program. This is also a common route for students who are less academically-inclined.\u00a0\n\n\nHowever, teenagers outside the education system without an SPM certificate but are PT3 graduates can opt for a National Certificate and Dual Training System (NDTS) \u2013 this is also known as Sistem Latihan Dual Nasional (SLDN). NDTS or SLDN are offered at public or private training centers (PLK) where they can enroll and also earn a Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia (SKM) certificate.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat is NDTS (SLDN)?\u00a0\n\n\nNDTS is a dual training system that utilizes workplace and institutional training, specifically aimed to provide opportunities for PT3 graduates or those without an SPM certificate. This concept follows \nGermany\u2019s industry-oriented training concept\n, where they aim to provide a skilled workforce to meet the requirements.\u00a0\n\n\nFor example, if you are keen on a career in the automotive industry, courses such as \nCarsome Academy\u2019s Roadworthiness Course\n provides students, or school leavers that hold a minimum pass in PT3, with specific all-rounded training to be a certified motor vehicle inspector.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nNDTS\n consists of between 70 and 80 percent of practical training (performance), with 20 to 30 percent of theoretical learning (knowledge).\u00a0\n\n\nGraduates from the NDTS program are presented with either one of the following:\n\n\n\n\nSijil Kemahiran Malaysia (SKM) Tahap 1, 2, 3;\n\n\nDiploma Kemahiran Malaysia (DKM); or\n\n\nDiploma Lanjutan Kemahiran Malaysia (DLKM).\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nEarn a SKM Level 3 in Motor Vehicle Inspection Certificate with Carsome Academy\n\n\nCarsome Academy is a NDTS, or SLDN training center which is accredited by JPK under the Ministry of Human Resources. The Academy offers great opportunities for those interested in the automotive industry, specifically in motor vehicle inspection. \n\n\n\n\nCarsome Academy graduates are awarded the SKM Level 3 in Motor Vehicle Inspection, a certification recognized by Malaysian technical industries.\n\n\nCurrently, there are two programs \u2013 the Motor Vehicle Inspection (Roadworthiness) course, and the\u00a0\nPengiktirafan Pencapaian Terdahulu (PPT). However, both of these two courses are awarded with the same SKM Level 3 in Motor Vehicle Inspection.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat is the Difference Between the Roadworthiness Course & the PPT Program?\n\n\nThere are two main factors that make each of these Carsome Academy offerings different \u2013 the requirement or course entry points, and the course duration.\u00a0\n\n\nMotor Vehicle Inspection (Roadworthiness): a 12-month course with guaranteed job placement in Carsome\n\n\nThe roadworthiness course is open to those who have no experience in motor inspection or the automotive industry. Upon course completion, graduates have a guaranteed job placement as a motor vehicle inspector in Carsome.\u00a0\n\n\nThis follows the NDTS or SLDN program with 30 percent theoretical lessons, followed by 70 percent\u00a0 industrial training at any Carsome Inspection Center in Malaysia.\n\n\n\n\nCourse duration:\n 12 months (three months of theoretical lessons and nine months of hands-on training)\u00a0\n\n\nEntry requirements: \nMalaysian citizens below 30 years old and holds a minimum pass in Sistem Pentaksiran Tingkatan Tiga (PT3)\n\n\n\n\nPengiktirafan Pencapaian Terdahulu (PPT): a fast-track course for experienced workers\n\n\nCarsome Academy is also an accredited Recognition for Prior Achievement (Pusat Pengiktirafan Pencapaian Terdahulu, PPT) test center that offers the Program Penilaian Amali (PPA). This is a fast-track program specifically for technical workers from automotive sectors who want to obtain the SKM Level 3 in Motor Vehicle Inspection certification.\u00a0\n\n\nThe PPT assessment method is for working individuals with no formal qualification but are able to demonstrate skills outlined in the\n National Occupational Skills Standards (NOSS)\n.\n\n\n\n\nCourse duration:\n three coaching (practical) sessions and a one-day assessment\u00a0\n\n\nEntry requirements: \nMalaysian citizens with a minimum of three years working in the automotive industry\n\n\n\n\nSo, whether you are without working experience, or have experience but are looking to solidify your motor inspection skills with a SKM certificate, Carsome Academy is a road worth considering. To top it off, graduates of Carsome Academy\u2019s Roadworthiness course can kickstart their careers with a guaranteed job placement in Carsome.\u00a0\n\n\nHere are Some Other Carsome Academy Must-knows\u00a0\n\n\nBesides that, these are some additional facts that are worth noting if you are considering enrolling with Carsome Academy.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe Roadworthiness course is RM8,000, inclusive of a registration fee.\u00a0\n\n\nCarsome\u2019s Human Resource team will conduct a job placement assessment for graduates of the Roadworthiness course, after which they will be appointed as certified inspectors at Carsome.\u00a0\n\n\nCarsome provides study loans with Carsome Capital and there are installment plans available as well for self-paying students.\n\n\nYou are required to pay a RM500, non-refundable registration fee to enroll into a Carsome Academy course.\n\n\nCarsome Academy provides accommodation with shared serviced apartments that are within walking distance to the academy for students.

Back in 1994, Volvo enlisted the 850 Estate into the \nBritish Touring Car Championship\n and scored third place overall and the best race finish in fifth place.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TphinAwzWp0\n\n\nBear in mind, the 850 Estate at that time was competing against the likes of sport sedans and compacts from brands such as Renaults, Nissans, Alfa Romeos, Vauxhalls, and Fords, who are known for their experience in racing. For a boring, family-oriented station wagon to score a fifth place in the championship, Volvo\u2019s achievements in 1994 managed to shake the motoring world. Today, the Volvo 850 Estate is renowned for its highly tuneable inline-five-cylinder engine as a sleeper car though it still flies under the radar even among die-hard car enthusiasts. While the Volvo 850 Estate is now a 29-year-old classic, here are five models you can buy from \nCARSOME\n\u2019s inventory for the ultimate sleeper car experience!\u00a0\n\n\n2018 Honda Civic TC VTEC 1.5\n\n\nThe iconic Honda Civic since its inception in 1972 has been an eponymous staple among the car community. Every car meet or track day you go, there will always, always be a Honda Civic there. Older Civics are still prized today for their cheap price, huge aftermarket support, and an experienced community in modifying them, making them an excellent sleeper car. The tenth-generation Honda Civic (FC) is a huge step up compared to its previous generation due to its small-yet-mighty 1.5L, four-cylinder turbocharged engine that generates 173 PS and 220 Nm of torque. All that power is sent to the front wheels via a CVT transmission. Don\u2019t let that CVT fool you. The manufacturer claims that it makes the 0-100 kmph sprint in 8.2 seconds, this is a pocket rocket not to be missed.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxFbZy_EOqE\n\n\nIn contrast, the Honda Civic can only be had with a naturally aspirated engine; turbocharging requires some aftermarket parts and handiwork from a workshop. Often the tenth-generation Honda Civic is fitted with the FK-8 Type-R\u2019s body kit and engine parts giving it more power. Essentially, making it a baby Type-R. While the tenth-generation Civic has been discontinued by Honda in favor of the brand-new eleventh-generation, a used one has depreciated its value beneath the RM100,000 mark. If you\u2019re looking for a pocket rocket of yourself, start browsing with the link below!\n\n\nBrowse Here:\n \nHonda Civic For Sale Here!\n\n\nRead More: \nTop \u201cAffordable\u201d Sports Cars in Malaysia Below RM200,000\n\n\n2015 Mercedes-Benz A250 Sport 2.0\n\n\nHere\u2019s another pocket rocket hailing from Germany that won\u2019t break your wallet. The Mercedes A-Class had gone through two weird Smart Car-looking generations before it became the five-seater hatchback and sedan we know today. Although the \nA250 is always outshined\n by its range-topping AMG variant, the base spec is not to be underestimated too. Both models, sedan and hatchback are powered by a turbocharged 2.0L, four-cylinder petrol engine sending 211 PS and 350 Nm to the\n front wheels\n via a seven-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT).\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZmhaDAksNo\n\n\nThanks to its powerful DCT technology, the A250 Sport gets lightning-fast shift times compared to a regular six or seven-speed automatic transmission. The result is a century sprint of 6.6 seconds from launch. Currently, the A250 Sport remains a bargain as a sleeper car among enthusiasts. Where are you going to get a turbocharged four-cylinder engine car with a Dual Clutch Transmission for under RM150,000 in the used market? This little German sleeper car depreciated almost half its price when it was released brand new in Malaysia. Slap on a race exhaust, ECU tune, a cold air-filter intake, race suspension, new tires, and sport rims, and you\u2019ve bagged yourself a little weekend hill-fighter or a highway champion.\n\n\nBrowse Here: \nMercedes-Benz A250 For Sale Here!\n\n\nRead More: \nNew vs Used Car: Which is Right for You?\n\n\n2016 MINI Clubman Cooper 1.5\n\n\nEveryone likes a good underdog in the race. Estates or Station Wagons may be a small niche in Malaysia, but this D-Segment car still has a sizable community even after getting phased out by SUVs. Like the Volvo 850 Estate earlier, the estate variant of the iconic Mini Cooper tends to be glanced over like \nthe middle child\n in the family. Ironically, for a car called Mini, the boot space is not to be underestimated, with a whooping \n360-liter\n with the rear seats up and 1250-liter with the rear seats folded down.\u00a0\n\n\nUnder the hood of this BMW-engineered Clubman is a 1.5L three-cylinder turbocharged engine with an output of 136 PS and 220 Nm (230 Nm on Overboost), all that power is sent to the front wheels, mated to a six-speed Steptronic automatic transmission. Now, being a station wagon, this car is on the heavy side, hitting 0-100 kmph in 9.1 seconds. This Clubman isn\u2019t your average high-speed grocery-getter.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8O-gC6OBCA\n\n\nModifications and parts for the Clubman are easy to source. Just like its younger sibling, the Mini Cooper, the Clubman has its fair share of presence in the aftermarket scene. Slap on a brand new race exhaust, coil overs, and the sorts, and you\u2019ll get a fun little sleeper car for the family.\u00a0\n\n\nBrowse Here: \nMini Cooper Clubman For Sale Here!\n\n\nRead More: \nWhy Wagons Are Not Popular in Malaysia?\n\n\n2018 Volvo V40 T4 2.0\n\n\nHere\u2019s a living distant cousin of the infamous Volvo 850 Estate that dominated the BTCC of 1994 now obtainable below RM120K. In comparison with the likes of other German hatchbacks like the Golf and the Polo, this Swedish five-door hatchback sleeper car can still give them a run for their money. Don\u2019t let this size fool you. This little Volvo is powered by a Drive-E 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine mated to a Geartronic eight-speed automatic transmission. The end result is a whopping 245 PS and 350 Nm of torque, capable of doing 0-100 kmph in 6.3 seconds.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tShVU1ZmuF8\n\n\nEvidently, there isn\u2019t much love for the V40 in Malaysia despite its torque output being on par with the Mercedes-Benz A250 without the help of a DCT system. The eight-speed automatic makes maintenance cheaper and easier compared to a much more complicated DCT transmission in high-end performance cars. Much like a Japanese Toyota, Volvos will technically run forever provided regular maintenance is done quite frequently. Safety is an added bonus to this V40 too. In 2020, the Euro ANCAP awarded the V40 model as one of the \nsafest cars of the year\n.\n A befitting choice for a company that invented and gave away the first \ntwo-point seat belt\n to the world for free.\u00a0\n\n\nBrowse Here: \nVolvo V40 Hatchbacks for Sale Here!\n\n\n2015 Proton Suprima S Turbo Standard 1.6\n\n\nTalk to any car enthusiast about what is the best car pre-Geely Proton has made, and they\u2019ll tell you it\u2019s either the Satria Neo or the Suprima S Turbo. Although the Satria Neo has seen mainstream success within the car community, I feel like the Suprima S is the dark horse of Proton\u2019s automotive history. A car ahead of its time in Malaysia, this five-seater hatchback has Lotus\u2019 magical touch on the car\u2019s handling during the short stint when the tiger-branded national car held a huge stake in Lotus Cars Limited.\u00a0\n\n\nSay what you want about \nProton cars\n but there was a beautiful time when fan service was at the top of their minds in the early 2010s. Upon the Suprima\u2019s release back in 2013, reviews were in a mixed bag due to the amount of sub-par quality vehicles that Proton had released prior. But if affordability is what you want, getting a family-oriented hatchback that is powered by a 1.6L turbocharged inline-four CamPro engine for RM80k was quite the bargain back then. The jointly developed engine with Lotus sends 138 PS and 205 Nm to the front wheels via a CVT transmission.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you can get past the stigma of domestically made products, it was a decent and fun car for the middle class to own. It was powerful enough to get some smiles-per-liter and handles like an all-rounder for any situation necessary. Prices for the Suprima S have depreciated by a lot, now going for half of what they used to go for. Though we concur that prices may go up soon given a custom-built Suprima S has represented \nMalaysia as the finalist\n for the \nHot Wheels Legends Tour\n this year.\n\n\nBrowse Here: \nProton Suprima S On Sale Here!\n\n\nNow, nearing the end of this article, you may be wondering \u2013 \u201cWhy isn\u2019t the Perodua Myvi on this list?\u201d We could add it to this lineup, but that would be cheating. The Myvi, in all its grace and glory, sits in another league on its own \u2013 the King. With a recession in the loom, these cars can also double as an investment asset should you get them when their prices have depreciated more than half after their launch.\u00a0\n\n\nHide in Plain Sight With These Sleeper Cars When You Buy Them From \nCARSOME\n!\n\n\nFor any car enthusiast looking to get into the aftermarket scene,\n CARSOME\n has the right selection for you!

While \nBank Negara\n has assured us as of this month that the country will not plummet into a recession, it\u2019s best to remain prepared as there are still plenty of unstable factors in the global economy looming over us.\u00a0\n\n\nAside from refraining from high expenses, one such area where you can save a lot of money is in the choice of your car size. When a recession does come in full swing, it\u2019s quite common to see luxurious cars being sold off into the used car market for a smaller, economically viable one. If you\u2019re contemplating whether to sell off your luxury vehicle for some fast cash, here\u2019s why downsizing your car is a smart move for the upcoming Malaysian recession.\n\n\nInitial Cost\u00a0\n\n\nA general rule of thumb is to understand that cars are \ndepreciating assets\n. Let\u2019s start with the main benefits of downsizing to a smaller car \u2013 you get a smaller initial purchase cost. A used Perodua Viva, for example, will go around \u200cRM20,000 in the used market. Say you trade in your BMW or a Mercedes at a used car dealership for some fast cash, and after purchasing a used Viva for your daily commute, you\u2019ll still be left with a lot of money. It\u2019s a win-win solution that doesn\u2019t break the bank. With some leftover cash, they can be used to cover other expenses such as housing, food, and other necessities. If you\u2019re a fresh graduate looking to get a car for your daily commute, buying a brand new car can be dangerous as it is one of the leading causes of young Malaysians \nfacing bankruptcy\n in the country.\u00a0\n\n\nConversely, demand for \nused cars\n will also go up during a recession. A bad economy will force consumers to look for more affordable means of transportation. With new car prices out of the question, the masses will turn to the used car market to save money. When demand for a certain commodity increase, so does its price. It\u2019s just a simple supply and demand logic. Your humble little Myvi at home can fetch a much higher price in the used car market if you decide to sell it off.\n\n\nRead More: \nShould You Buy a Car in a Recession?\n\n\nCheaper Road Tax and Maintenance\u00a0\n\n\nTrading a large 2.5L car for a smaller 1.5L one can save a lot of money on fuel and road tax.\n\n\nCars with smaller cubic centimeters (CC) have smaller road taxes, are fuel-efficient, and won\u2019t hurt as much when you need to refill petrol. The current Nissan Almera that I drive daily is a 1.5L, four-cylinder engine. On average I only need to refuel once every five days for around RM57. The Nissan Almera is just one of the few cheap economy cars that will remain triumphant when the recession strikes.\u00a0\n\n\nDon\u2019t let the size of engines these days fool you too. Modern engines in economy cars like the Perodua Ativa or the Daihatsu Ayla (sold in Indonesia) have turbochargers to accommodate their small CC engine of 1.0L. They\u2019re not built in for power but rather for fuel economy.\n\n\n\n\nDownsizing your car can also ease the wallet on maintenance. Smaller cars are more reliable and fuel-efficient than any gas-guzzling V8 or V12. Anything more than a six-cylinder inside your engine will be problematic to maintain due to additional mechanical complexity. If you have to choose a smaller vehicle, opt for domestic or Japanese-branded cars as parts are easier to source than Continental cars. Smaller cars also run on smaller tires making them cheaper to replace. The cherry on top of a smaller car is it is cheaper to insure than a full-sized luxurious one.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \n6 Tips to Prepare for a Recession as a Car Owner\n\n\nSmall and Nimble to Drive Around\n\n\nThe natural progression in technology has made car engines get smaller but their output can rival sports cars from the 70s and 80s. Small engines these days can pack a punch above their size. Take the three-cylinder Tiny Friendly Giant (TFG) engine powering the Koenigsegg Gemera for example. Apart from its revolutionary engine design, the TFG has an output of 590 hp and 600 Nm of torque without assistance from its electric motor! Ok, that\u2019s too far-fetched to be featured in an economy car but you get the point here.\u00a0\n\n\nSource: \nRoad and Track Magazine\n\n\nCloser to home, most Malaysians still have a \nstigma against downsizing\n to a smaller engine. If you can look past the numbers, there are cars offered in Malaysia that have small engines yet have proven naysayers wrong. The success of the \nProton X50\n and Perodua Ativa despite being powered by a small-yet-mighty turbocharged three-cylinder engine. A smaller CC, combined with a shorter wheelbase also means it\u2019ll be agile around corners and easier to navigate around town efficiently.\n\n\nTry reverse parking with a Ford Ranger compared to a Honda Jazz, which one gets the job done faster?\u00a0\n\n\nGood for the Environment\n\n\nLastly, downsizing to a \nsmaller car\n can also be beneficial to the \nenvironment\n. If you\u2019re someone who\u2019s environmentally conscious yet unable to afford an EV, get a small used car. Buying a used car skips the exploitation of natural resources and emissions created during the process of making a brand-new car. This can be an important consideration for those who are concerned about their carbon footprint and the impact that their lifestyle choices have on the environment.\n\n\nRegardless of your stance on downsizing your car, an economic recession may sometimes force your hand to sell off your beloved car just to make ends meet. But fret not, there is always a chance to locate your ride and buy it back when the economic situation turns for the better.\u00a0\n\n\nUltimately, it all boils down to each different individual\u2019s lifestyle and choice. Buying and selling off a car is a huge decision and we strongly urge you to weigh the pros and cons before biting the bullet. Would you be ok trading in a large SUV for a small and nimble hatchback?

But it doesn\u2019t stop there. There are some details we simply could not miss out on. How does the new Myvi fare, and could it retake the crown as the best-selling car in Malaysia for years to come? Read on to find out.\n\n\n5,000 pre-launch bookings made\n\n\n\n\nAs of publication, there have been over 6,000 bookings for the car already made. 5,000 of those bookings were garnered in a week before the car was launched last Thursday. According to Perodua, 78 per cent of the early bookings were on the new colour, Granite Grey 1.5L variant. Perodua CEO Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh has reiterated that they aim to sell 6,000 units a month on average. To put that into perspective, that\u2019s 72,000 new Myvi\u2019s for the whole of 2018. Can Perodua do it? We think they can.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nNewer Engines\n\n\n\n\nThere are two engines in the new Myvi, a 1.3-litre and 1.5-litre DOHC Dual VVT-i producing 94 and 102 hp respectively. The 1.3-litre unit is also found in the brand\u2019s current Bezza. As for the 1.5 unit, it is completely new and is found in the group\u2019s Toyota family. Both engines are built locally at Daihatsu Perodua Engine Manufacturing plant in Sendayan, Negeri Sembilan. In addition, the aluminium-block engines are lighter and build to perform more efficiently and adheres to stricter Euro 4 emission standards.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBigger, longer and wider\n\n\n\n\nThe modern interior and dashboard of the 1.5 AV.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nOn paper, the new Myvi is longer by 20.5 cm, lower by 3 cm, wider by 7 cm and has a longer wheelbase by 6 cm. What is interesting though, is that the interior space has certainly grown. The tandem distance between the front and rear passengers is a large 93.7 cm. If you\u2019ve viewed the car, you would\u2019ve noticed this seated at the rear. Boot space is a full 277-litres, 69 more than the outgoing Myvi. Perodua has also put together an 8 plus 1 flexible seating layout.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAerodynamics\n\n\n\n\nThat lowered height of the new Myvi does contribute to a better drag coefficient overall. How much better? From 0.306 to the current 0.296 Cd. The semi-flush rear spoiler, Aeroslim wipers and air spats do help. On top of that, the acoustic windshield massively reduces NVH levels when the car is in motion.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBetter economy with Engines and Eco Idle\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt is stated that the all-new Myvi has on average 32 per cent more efficient than the outgoing second generation. As below, the km per litre figures are provided as an estimate by Perodua, while we have calculated the litre per km as the following.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Myvi\n\n\nKm/ litre\n\n\nLitre/ 100km\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.3-litre Manual G\n\n\n20.5\n\n\n4.88\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.3-litre Auto G\n\n\n20.1\n\n\n4.98\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.3-litre Auto X (with Eco Idle)\n\n\n21.1\n\n\n4.74\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.5-litre Auto H & AV (with Eco Idle)\n\n\n20.1\n\n\n4.98\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhen the Eco Idle is activated, it is able to provide up to 1 kilometre more on the road on comparing a test done on the 1.3AT Myvi. Eco Idle is a stop-start feature whereby it makes the engine goes into a partial-deactivation mode when putting a foothold on the brakes. This feature was first seen in the Bezza launched last year.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nVehicle Stability Control\n\n\n\n\nVehicle Stability Control (VSC) is a system that improves vehicle stability by detecting and reducing skidding while being on regular roads. How this works during emergency avoidance is through sensors in the vehicle that accounts for ABS, steering and throttle by assessing the potential skid, cutting power and applying the necessary brakes to counteract the slide. Traction Control (TC) works closely with VSC and is standard now across the range.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n5-Star ASEAN NCAP\n\n\nASEAN NCAP is a new introduction to the list of NCAP organizations all around the world, which aims to be a benchmark for safer production vehicles in the region. To be certified 5-star for this All-New Myvi, it is an impressive statement. Do take a closer look on this crash test video conducted on the Myvi that showcases its crashworthiness.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe upper body of the vehicle is completely designed in-house and has been a 99.9% effort from the ground up. The skeletal frame of the new Myvi uses high-tensile steel and said to be 2.5 times more robust than its predecessor. The design team even placed additional bracing and reinforcements in strategic areas like the edges to increase body rigidity.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAs shown in the circle: There are seat belt reminders to alert the rear passengers.\n\n\n\n\nThere is a Seat Belt Reminder that alerts the driver, front & rear passengers and adds extra precaution to safety. In any point of time that the seatbelts are not put on, a warning will light up immediately to remind the passengers to do so promptly. Add this with four airbags as standard, and a further six airbags on the 1.5-litre variants and you\u2019ll understand why the new Myvi has managed to get that rating.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe mystical purple Myvi that flashes a touch of mystery to its body.\n\n\n2018 Perodua Myvi Launch Snippet\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 2018 Myvi comes just at the right time, it might even be the perfect vehicle for you and your loved ones. \nClick here\n to see why.\n\n\nThere is a gallery that presents the insightful features of the new generation Myvi, \nclick here\n!\n\n\nDon\u2019t hesistate any longer, the Myvi might just be the perfect choice for you!

Carsome membantu anda dengan menyenaraikan dua faktor yang boleh anda pertimbangkan sebelum membeli sport rim kereta idaman anda:\n\n\n1. Bajet atau Kos\n\n\nAnda perlu menentukan tahap kewangan anda sebelum anda boleh membuat keputusan untuk membeli \nsport rim\n idaman anda. Bajet dan kos memainkan peranan penting dalam membantu anda membuat keputusan sama ada rim \noriginal\n atau replika, rim terpakai atau baharu sebagai pilihan anda. Rim \noriginal\n SSR Type F 15 inci baharu dijual pada harga sekitar RM4,000 atau lebih. Manakala, rim \noriginal\n SSR Type F 15 inci terpakai pula dijual antara RM2,000 hingga RM3,000 bergantung pada keadaan rim tersebut. Rim replika baharu jenis sama pula dijual pada harga sekitar RM700 hingga RM1,000 dan rim replika terpakai dijual antara RM400 hingga RM600.\n\n\n2. Faktor Keselamatan\n\n\nAnda juga perlu mempertimbangkan faktor keselamatan sebelum membuat keputusan untuk membeli mana-mana aksesori tambahan kereta. Malah, anda juga perlu mengambil kira corak pemanduan anda, keadaan jalan dan sebagainya supaya dapat mengelakkan anda daripada membuat keputusan yang tidak tepat. Rim \noriginal\n melalui proses kajian dan penyelidikan yang terperinci sebelum dijual di pasaran. Perkara ini bertujuan untuk memastikan rekaan sesuatu produk dapat bertahan dalam pelbagai jenis pemanduan, cuaca dan tahan lebih lama. Manakala, penggunaan rim replika mungkin menyebabkan anda terdedah kepada risiko kerosakan atau kemalangan. Rim replika selamat untuk digunakan, namun anda disarankan untuk sentiasa berwaspada dan berhati-hati.\n\n\n\n\nCara Kenal Pasti \nSport Rim Original\n atau \nSport Rim\n Replika\n\n\nBanyak \nsport rim\n yang dijual di pasaran tidak kiralah sama ada \nsport rim original\n atau \nsport rim\n replika. Penting untuk anda supaya dapat membezakan kedua-dua jenis rim ini untuk mengelakkan anda daripada membeli rim replika yang dijual pada harga rim\n original\n.\n\n\n1. Cap \u2018\nMade in\u2026\n\u2018\n\n\nRim original\n Jepun misalnya mempunyai cap \u2018\nMade in Japan\n\u2018 di bahagian luar dan dalam rim. Anda juga boleh melihat pelekat pengeluaran pada rim. Namun begitu, anda masih perlu berhati-hati jika anda merujuk pelekat ini kerana ia biasanya boleh ditiru dan dihasilkan semula. Rim\n original\n lain termasuklah \nOZ Racing\n (Itali) dan \nEvo Regamaster\n (Rusia).\n\n\n2. Berat dan Bunyi\n\n\nBerat rim tanpa wayar pula lebih ringan berbanding rim replika.\u00a0Anda juga boleh kenal pasti keasliannya dengan melagakan rim tersebut sesama sendiri. Rim\n original\n menghasilkan bunyi yang berlainan daripada rim replika disebabkan oleh cirinya yang lebih ringan.\n\n\nNamun begitu, pemilihan \nsport rim\n kereta yang baik bukanlah sekadar mempertimbangkan faktor kualiti atau jenama semata-mata, anda perlu juga mengambil kira faktor cita rasa, kewangan dan jenis kereta anda. Selain itu, jika anda sedang mencari\n kereta terpakai atau kereta \nsecond hand\n \nyang semestinya menepati cita rasa, bajet dan keperluan anda, layari laman web Carsome \u2013 platform \njual beli kereta terpakai\n \nterbesar di Asia Tenggara untuk info lanjut.\n\n", "Ahmad Azwadie Azman", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Bring It to a Stop before It\u2019s Too Late!", "By\n \nAmarnath", "09/11/2022", "\n\n\n\n\n", "At some point or another, every car owner\u2019s probably endured that ear-shrieking sound from their brakes that\u2019s reminiscent of fingernails scraping across a blackboard. The intensity varies but one cardinal rule to follow is that the signature squealing noise from the brakes can indicate larger problems beyond the horizon and should be addressed immediately.\n\n\nYour car\u2019s brakes are probably the singular most important system because while your car not being able to move is infuriating at best, not being able to stop is probably lethal.\n\n\nThe only bright side from your brakes squealing is its function as a siren pointing towards potential problems brewing.\n\n\n\n\nWhat Causes the Squealing Sound from Your Brakes?\n\n\nWhile it might seem pretty obvious that friction is the offender, that\u2019s also the principle behind your brakes\u2019 intended function of safely bringing you to a halt. Nonetheless, noisy brakes shouldn\u2019t occur if everything is functioning satisfactorily.\n\n\nThe simplest reason, however, and one that usually disappears after a few minutes of driving, is light surface rust. This can be attributed to moisture on the surface of the brake rotors forming a layer of rust.\n\n\nRead More: \nMalfunctions in Car Safety Features and How to Check Them\n\n\nIf you paid attention during science lessons back in school instead of lusting over the cars you\u2019ll have in your dream garage, you\u2019ll recall that water and oxygen can cause rust on iron. And what is the most common material used in the production of brake rotors? That\u2019s right, iron.\n\n\nThis is pretty common after heavy rain or if you\u2019ve just washed your car as water droplets will stick to the rotor\u2019s surface. However, seeing that it\u2019s just minor surface rust, the squealing will disappear after some driving as the friction from the brake pads removes the rust.\n\n\nYes, it can be that simple but luck isn\u2019t always on our side.\n\n\nIf you notice that the squealing noise from the brakes is constant, it\u2019s probably time to have a qualified mechanic have a look at things. This could be a sign that some brake components are beginning to reach the end of their lifespan or fail.\n\n\nYour brake pads are designed to emit a squealing sound as the pad material runs out and the wear indicator comes in contact with the rotors. That\u2019s intentional, however, and meant to remind you to get your brake pads replaced.\n\n\nSeeing that frictional force is the basis of your brakes\u2019 functioning, it shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise that wear and tear is a given with the components. Similarly, to the brake pads, the brake rotors also wear down over time.\n\n\n\n\nBrake rotors have a minimum thickness for safe operation. You\u2019ll be able to find the digits engraved on the cross-section side. Using a simple caliper, the mechanic will be able to determine if the rotors need to be replaced. Once the rotor has gone below the minimum thickness, you must replace them.\n\n\nSkimping on rotors, pads, or brake shoes is a definite no-no. You can probably prolong the \nservice interval\n between other components but never the brakes as these are the direct parts responsible for slowing your car down.\n\n\nSomething to keep in mind is that replacing your brake pads doesn\u2019t necessitate replacing the brake rotors but if you replace your brake rotors, always replace the brake pads at the same time.\n\n\nRead More: \nProper and Safe Driving Attire\n\n\nWrong Selection of Brake Components\n\n\nSome of you enthusiastic drivers might wrongfully be under the impression that the most performance-oriented brake pads are always the best bet. That would be true\u2026 if you were driving in the highest level of touring car \nracing\n.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re not \u2013 and zooming up Genting Highlands doesn\u2019t count, you\u2019re better off with an entry-level set of brake pads that\u2019s a step up from the regular ones.\n\n\nThe issue with high-performance brake pads is the higher temperature threshold required for them to function safely with constant hard braking that will see things getting more than a little toasty behind the wheels.\n\n\nAnyone that runs high-performance brake components will preach that squealing is a given at cold temperatures or low speeds. The reason behind this is the brake pads work best within that temperature window. Low speeds keep it cold and outside that optimal performance window, causing the squealing noise.\n\n\nPorsche has even produced a video regarding the squealing noise from its high-performance brakes to help customers and motorists, in general, understand why it happens.\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUNHb9O52WQ\n\n\nIf you don\u2019t participate in spirited driving, the best bet is to retain the same factory-spec brake pads that the car came with initially. Those operate in a lower temperature window that is suited for daily driving and the lower speeds we see in urban motoring.\n\n\nBeing within its lower temperature window ensures there\u2019s no squealing and that the brake pad bites well in cold conditions without requiring a little driving to warm up.\n\n\nLastly, never forget to bleed and replace the brake fluid according to the recommended service interval as well. Brake fluid can get oxidized over time. This leads to moisture and other contaminants building up in the fluid. The side effect of this would be a spongy brake pedal feel. If your brake fluid is discolored, it\u2019s time to get it replaced.\n\n\nRead More: \nWhat to Do during a Tire Blowout and How to Avoid Crashing?\n\n\nProperly Running in Your New Brake Components\n\n\nRemember when we recommended replacing the brake pads if you\u2019re getting a new set of brake rotors as well? That\u2019s just one part of the process. New brake components also require running-in for a short period of time to properly bond the rotor surface with the brake pad.\n\n\nOverlooking the running-in period or not adhering to it will cause squealing.\n\n\nIgnorance of this cardinal step can lead to the brake pads wearing out unevenly as it doesn\u2019t sit flat against the rotor\u2019s surface. We\u2019re pretty sure you can guess the side effects of this, squealing noise and in a worst-case scenario, vibrations.\n\n\n\n\nHow Do I Run In My New Brake Components?\n\n\nMost experts recommend the slow and steady approach. This more civilized technique requires you to drive as you would normally and refrain from extremely hard braking for the first 500 kilometers or so. Of course, if there\u2019s an emergency, please apply the brakes hard but if you can, avoid it for that duration.\n\n\nDuring this first 500 kilometers, the brake pads will slowly shape themselves against the rotor surface and sit perfectly. This allows the brake pad compound to apply itself onto the rotor surface. This soft approach to breaking in would suffice if you only use your car for daily commutes.\n\n\nConclusion\n\n\nAll vehicles come with a recommended service interval for your brake components, just like it does for all other wear-and-tear parts. Keep to it and you should be perfectly safe.\n\n\nHowever, bear in mind that while you can drive an extra 100 kilometers past your \nengine oil\u2019s\n service interval, you shouldn\u2019t with your brakes. Engine failure can be rectified but if your brakes fail, let\u2019s just say there might not be anything left to repair.\n\n\nRemember, it\u2019s not an issue if you can\u2019t get moving but it\u2019s definitely a problem if you can\u2019t stop.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re shopping for a pre-owned car and are concerned about its safety, check out CARSOME\u2019s offering.

Tetapi, sebuah kereta yang pernah ditenggelami banjir boleh dibelenggu dengan banyak masalah yang mendatangkan risiko kepada pemilik dan bakal pembeli.\n\n\n\n\nSebab itulah pembeli kereta terpakai harus berwaspada dengan tawaran yang tidak masuk akal kerana ia mungkin melibatkan kereta yang pernah ditenggelami banjir. Berikut adalah antara bahaya membeli kereta yang pernah ditenggelami banjir dan tanda-tanda yang boleh anda perhatikan untuk mengelak daripada membelinya.\n\n\nMengapa Kereta Tenggelam Banjir Berbahaya\n\n\nMendatangkan Masalah Kesihatan\n\n\nMasalah utama bagi kereta yang pernah ditenggelami banjir dan tidak dibersihkan dengan betul ialah ia boleh membawa kepada masalah kesihatan yang berbahaya.\n\n\nIni adalah kerana air banjir dipenuhi dengan kuman dan kotoran yang tidak dapat dilihat. Jika tidak dibersihkan dengan sempurna, ia boleh mengakibatkan bakteria yang berbahaya dan juga bau yang tidak menyenangkan berlegar di dalam ruangan kereta anda.\n\n\nLebih-lebih lagi, keadaan kereta yang lembap boleh menyebabkan kewujudan kulat yang mungkin akan mendatangkan masalah pernafasan kepada pemandu dan penumpang jika dibiarkan.\n\n\nMasalah Enjin\n\n\n\n\nEnjin dan air banjir bukanlah pasangan yang serasi. Apabila air banjir masuk ke bahagian enjin, ia akan bercampur dengan minyak yang berada di dalam enjin lalu akan mengakibatkan kerosakan kepada komponen dalaman enjin.\n\n\nApabila terdapat kerosakan pada komponen dalaman enjin, ia boleh menyebabkan berlakunya kemalangan di masa hadapan. Untuk membaiki kereta yang telah tenggelam banjir biasanya akan menelan kos yang sangat tinggi dan tiada jaminan bahawa ia dapat berfungsi tanpa sebarang masalah pada masa akan datang.\n\n\nWaranti Terbatal\n\n\nBiasanya, waranti dari pihak pengeluar kereta akan menawarkan perlindungan daripada masalah tertentu untuk kereta anda, seperti kerosakan mekanikal dan elektronik. Ianya tidak meliputi perlindungan daripada bencana alam seperti banjir.\n\n\nJika kereta telah ditenggelami banjir, waranti akan terbatal. Tanpa waranti, usaha membaiki kereta mungkin akan menelan belanja yang tinggi dan anda juga mungkin perlu membelanjakan lebih banyak wang untuk membeli waranti lanjutan dan juga tambahan polisi insurans untuk kereta tersebut.\n\n\nTanda-tanda Kereta Pernah Tenggelam Banjir\n\n\nBau Yang Tidak Menyenangkan\n\n\nCara paling mudah untuk mengenal pasti sama ada sesebuah kereta pernah ditenggelami banjir adalah dengan menghidunya. Bahagian dalaman kereta mempunyai komponen yang mudah menyerap air seperti karpet dan tempat duduk kereta.\n\n\nMelainkan langkah yang sewajarnya telah diambil untuk membersihkan dan mengeringkan komponen ini sepenuhnya, sisa air banjir akan terperangkap di dalamnya dan akan menyebabkan bau hapak serta mengakibatkan pertumbuhan kulat.\n\n\nBau busuk dan hapak di dalam kereta serta tompokan kabus yang kerap muncul pada permukaan tingkap merupakan salah satu tanda sesebuah kereta pernah ditenggelami banjir.\n\n\nKerosakan Pada Komponen Elektronik\n\n\n\n\nKereta moden biasanya dilengkapi dengan banyak komponen elektronik yang membolehkan kereta berfungsi pada keadaan optimum. Tetapi, jika kereta pernah ditenggelami banjir, komponen ini pasti akan terjejas kerana ia mudah rosak terutama sekali apabila terdedah kepada air.\n\n\nPeriksa setiap komponen elektrik kereta seperti bahagian lampu, tingkap kuasa\n, radio, dan yang seumpamanya untuk melihat sama ada ia berfungsi dengan baik dan pastikan tiada lampu amaran menyala semasa enjin hidup serta semasa kereta sedang dipandu.\n\n\nJika terdapat masalah dengan komponen berikut, anda mungkin perlu lakukan siasatan lanjut mengenai kerosakan tersebut.\n\n\nKarat Yang Melampau\n\n\n\n\nSatu lagi tanda yang jelas menunjukkan bahawa sesebuah kereta pernah ditenggelami banjir adalah karat yang berlebihan. Biasanya, bahagian tertentu kereta memang akan terjejas oleh karat setelah digunakan selama beberapa tahun, tetapi banjir akan mempercepatkan kejadian karat dan penyebarannya pada kereta, terutama sekali pada bahagian di mana air mudah bertakung.\n\n\nAnda harus memeriksa bahagian seperti ruangan bawah karpet kereta, bahagian bawah\n \ntempat duduk, dan ruangan di mana tayar ganti diletakkan. Bahagian-bahagian berikut merupakan bahagian yang selalunya terjejas apabila kereta ditenggelami banjir dan tanpa usaha pengeringan dan pembersihan yang menyeluruh, karat akan mudah terjadi di bahagian itu.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nKereta Tenggelam Banjir? Ini 5 Perkara Yang Anda Perlu Tahu\n\n\nKereta Carsome Certified Dijamin Bebas Daripada Kerosakan Banjir\n\n\nMemastikan kereta yang anda beli berada dalam keadaan baik mungkin memerlukan banyak perkara yang perlu dilakukan, tetapi dengan Carsome, kami menjadikan proses membeli kereta terpakai lebih mudah, lancar, dan telus untuk anda.\n\n\nSemua kereta Carsome Certified telah lulus pemeriksaan 175-titik yang ketat yang dijalankan oleh pemeriksa kami yang berkemahiran tinggi.

Here Are Signs It\u2019s Malfunctioning", "By\n \nDevan S", "05/07/2023", "\n\n\n\n\n", "A steering rack is a rack and pinion assembly in your car that works to convert the rotation of your steering wheel into the side-to-side motion of your tires, thus allowing you to control the movement of your car on the road. The steering rack is essential in ensuring your car maneuvers as you intend it to.\u00a0\n\n\nJust like other components in your car, it can become worn out or damaged, and impede the movement of the car if not properly maintained. If left unchecked, you could end up unable to steer your car, which could lead to an accident on the road.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nA noisy or stuck steering wheel often indicates problems with your steering rack. So if you notice any of the issues we\u2019ll discuss here, it\u2019s time to get your steering rack repaired.\n\n\n1. Steering Wheel Becoming Stuck or Heavy\n\n\n\n\nExample of a heavy steering wheel\n\n\nYour steering wheel should feel smooth and easy to turn when you\u2019re driving. If your steering wheel gets stuck or feels heavy to turn, you most likely have an issue with the steering rack. Sometimes your steering wheel might be hard to turn either to the left or right, and other times it could get totally stuck. If you face this issue, here are some of the possible culprits.\n\n\n\n\nCorrosion on the steering rack\n\n\nDebris and water contamination in the steering rack when the rubber boots covering the tie rods rupture\n\n\nFailure of the hydraulic or electric steering assistance\n\n\n\n\n2. Steering Rack Leaking Oil\n\n\nThis is one of the easiest steering rack problems to identify. If you find leaking fluid or oil underneath your car accompanied by difficulty turning your steering wheel while driving, you most likely have leaking power steering fluid.\u00a0\n\n\nThat said, the pool of oil you find could also be other fluids such as the engine oil. So it\u2019s best to take your car to the workshop to get it checked. If you really have a steering fluid leak, your mechanic can help you repair your steering rack.\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nCar Engine Suddenly Stops?

Steering Wheel Doesn\u2019t Return to the Center\n\n\nA car\u2019s steering rack is designed to return to the center on its own after you\u2019ve made a turn on the road. If you notice that your steering wheel doesn\u2019t return to the center while driving, that means you have sticky steering. In this case, you\u2019ll have to constantly correct your steering, causing you to exert more effort just to steer your car.\n\n\n\n\nA sticky steering wheel that doesn\u2019t return to center\n\n\nLack of steering returnability is usually caused by a steering gear that\u2019s adjusted too tight. There could also be other steering components that get stuck such as the king pin, ball joint, or steering column. To a certain extent, even improper wheel alignment can reduce steering returnability.\n\n\n4. Squeaking or Clunking Sound from the Steering Wheel\n\n\nSometimes, you can have noises from the steering rack or wheel such as squeaking or clunking. Both these noises can occur when you turn the steering wheel, either stationary or while driving. A squeaking steering wheel usually indicates some wear and tear such as worn bearings in the steering column or low lubricant levels.\u00a0\n\n\nSqueaking is rarely a major issue and can be fixed with regular maintenance. Just don\u2019t ignore it for too long if you don\u2019t want it to deal with costly steering rack repairs.\n\n\nClunking noises from your steering rack or wheel could signify more serious issues such as a worn steering rack, low steering fluid, or malfunctioning steering pump. Clunking noises from the steering tend to only happen occasionally, so it can be hard to pinpoint its cause. Furthermore, the steering components are closely linked to the \nsuspension system\n, which makes it even more difficult to identify the root cause. If you have this issue, it\u2019s best to bring your car to a workshop.\n\n\nRead More: \nCar Producing Odd Noises? Here Are the Possible Causes\n\n\n5. The Smell of Burnt Oil\n\n\nOne of the more serious steering rack-related problems is having the smell of burnt oil in your car while driving. This happens when the power steering fluid overheats due to excessive friction or temperature increase in the steering gearbox. Overheating power steering fluid can be very dangerous as it could even lead to your \ncar catching fire\n.\n\n\nIf you smell burnt oil while driving, it\u2019s best to stop your car at a safe spot, wait for it to cool down, and find a nearby workshop to get your car checked.\n\n\n6. Steering Wheel Moving on Its Own\n\n\nImagine your steering wheel starts rotating left to right on its own right after you start your car, without you even touching it. It might seem like your car is possessed but don\u2019t be too alarmed as it can be fixed at a workshop. This is a fairly uncommon problem and is usually electronic in nature. Don\u2019t drive your car if this happens as you could hurt your hands and wrists trying to fight the steering wheel or worse, get into an accident.\n\n\n\n\nSteering wheel moving on its own\n\n\nIf your steering wheel shakes or vibrates violently while driving, then you could have problems with a number of components including the tie rods, steering rack bushing, wheel bearings, and other parts. Therefore, it\u2019s best to get your car checked immediately to pinpoint the cause in this case.\n\n\nYour car\u2019s steering system is the main thing helping you steer your car on the road, so if you notice any of these signs, take your car to a workshop and get it checked by a qualified mechanic. Letting these problems progress can not only incur expensive steering rack repairs in the future but put you and your passengers at risk as well.\u00a0\n\n\nWorried about Scams?

Mesti pernah kan. Sebenarnya, ada banyak stereotaip pemilik kereta yang macam ni dalam kalangan masyarakat kita.\u00a0\n\n\nTak hairanlah, dengan adanya pelbagai jenis kereta yang dijual di negara kita, ragam pemilik kereta yang serba macam di Malaysia, dan juga pendapat masyarakat yang \nsukar untuk dikawal \ntidak dapat menghalang stereotaip begini daripada dihasilkan.\n\n\n\n\nDi sini kami senaraikan lima stereotaip pemilik kereta yang popular dalam kalangan rakyat Malaysia.\n\n\nFord Mustang \u2013 Pilihan Geng MLM dan Kripto\n\n\nDi Amerika, Ford Mustang bukan setakat kereta \nmuscle \nyang berkuasa tinggi, malah ia adalah kereta ikonik yang jadi idaman para peminat automotif di sana kerana ia begitu simbolik dengan gaya hidup mereka.\n\n\nSumber: \nFord.com\n\n\nTetapi lain pula di Malaysia. Ford Mustang di sini pula kebanyakannya \ndimiliki oleh geng-geng\n ejen \nMultilevel Marketing\n (MLM) atau pedagang mata wang kripto yang ingin menawan hati orang sekeliling mereka agar turut serta dalam perniagaan dan juga skim yang mereka tawarkan.\n\n\nThis Is A Pyramid Scheme No Its Called Multi Level Marketing GIF \nfrom \nThis Is A Pyramid Scheme GIFs\n\n\n\n\nMaklumlah, kalau pakai kereta berjenama luar negara baru nampak gah. Selain menarik perhatian, \npersepsi orang lain juga lebih mudah dipengaruhi\n dengan kereta mewah yang boleh dijadikan simbol status, kejayaan, dan juga kekayaan, macam Ford Mustang.\n\n\nBMW \u2013 Ikon Ejen Insurans\n\n\nTanyalah sesiapa yang pernah berurusan dengan ejen insurans, kereta apa yang ejen mereka selalu bawa. Rata-rata jawapan yang akan anda terima mesti sama ada sebuah \nBMW\n atau kereta mewah lain yang setara dengannya.\n\n\nThe Incredibles Bob Parr GIF \nfrom \nThe Incredibles GIFs\n\n\n\n\nSalah satu sebab mengapa kereta mewah dan berprestij seperti BMW menjadi pilihan mereka adalah untuk memberi inspirasi kepada rakan-rakan sekerja dan untuk membangkitkan keyakinan dalam kalangan pelanggan untuk memilih mereka sebagai ejen.\n\n\n\n\nTambahan pula, BMW adalah sebuah jenama yang dikenali ramai dan sering dikaitkan dengan kereta yang moden, bergaya, dan berkuasa. Contohnya seperti \nBMW 330i M Sport 2.0\n ya\nng dikuasakan oleh enjin turbo 2.0-liter empat silinder yang mampu menghasilkan sehingga 258 kuasa kuda dan disertakan dengan sistem suspensi M Sport yang memberi pengalaman memandu yang lancar dan selesa.\n\n\nToyota Vellfire & Toyota Alphard \u2013 Pengasas Produk Kesihatan atau Kecantikan\n\n\nBila cakap tentang stereotaip kereta, kita memang tak boleh lari daripada menyentuh mengenai \nToyota Vellfire\n dan \nToyota Alphard\n yang sekarang ni sangat popular dalam kalangan \npengasas produk kesihatan atau kecantikan\n.\n\n\nCome To Me Dsv Vida GIF \nfrom \nCome To Me GIFs\n\n\n\n\nSebut sahaja nama mana-mana pengasas produk, anda mesti pernah lihat mereka menaiki atau memandu Toyota Alphard atau Toyota Vellfire. Selain daripada kelihatan eksklusif dan mewah, mereka menggemari model-model ini kerana ia menawarkan pemanduan yang lancar dan senyap dengan enjinnya yang berkuasa dan bahagian kabin dan tempat duduk penumpang yang luas dan sangat-sangat selesa \u2013 bagaikan duduk di kabin kelas pertama dalam penerbangan yang mahal!\n\n\n\n\nToyota Avanza & Toyota Unser \u2013 Popular Dalam Kalangan Ustaz & Ustazah\n\n\nBagi mereka yang lahir tahun 90-an, ingat lagi tak ustaz dengan ustazah masa zaman sekolah dulu bawa kereta apa? Mesti ramai yang akan jawab \nToyota Avanza\n dan juga Toyota Unser. Memang tak dinafikan yang kedua-dua model kereta ni adalah pilihan utama para ustaz dan ustazah ketika itu.\n\n\nUstaz1819 Talk GIF \nfrom \nUstaz1819 GIFs\n\n\n\n\nDari luar, Toyota Avanza dan Toyota Unser mungkin kelihatan kecil, tapi ruang dalamannya memang besar dengan ruangan kaki yang selesa untuk setiap penumpang. Enjin pula, walaupun tidak berapa laju, tapi ia mampu menjamin pemanduan yang selesa walaupun dengan tujuh penumpang.\n\n\n\n\nMungkin model ni jadi pilihan sebab ustaz dan ustazah kita selalu kena bawa anak-anak murid yang menyertai kumpulan nasyid atau kompang pergi pertandingan atau buat persembahan di luar kawasan sekolah.\n\n\nPerodua Myvi \u2013 Raja Jalan Raya\n\n\nSatu Malaysia tahu yang \nPerodua Myvi\n ni memang banyak terlibat dalam aksi-aksi bahaya, pelik, dan \nluar biasa di jalan raya\n.\n Ini menyebabkan orang ramai menganggap ia sebagai kereta yang terpaling raja dan terpaling laju, sampai kereta lain yang lagi besar pun kena beri laluan kepadanya.\n\n\n\n\nvia Gfycat\n\n\nTetapi, tak dinafikan bahawa \nPerodua Myvi \na\ndalah antara kereta tempatan yang paling boleh diharap dalam kelasnya. Harganya yang mampu milik, kos penyelenggaraan yang rendah dan penjagaan yang mudah menjadikan Perodua Myvi antara \nkereta yang paling laris dijual\n di Malaysia untuk bertahun-tahun. Sebab inilah ia memang layak diberi gelaran \n\u2018King of the Road\u2019\n di Malaysia!\n\n\n\n\nHonda Civic Ketam \u2013 Geng JDM Baru Nak Up\n\n\nBila bercakap tentang kaki kereta, mesti akan timbul nama \nJapan Domestic Market\n atau JDM. Untuk yang tak tahu, JDM merujuk kepada kereta yang hanya dihasilkan untuk pasaran Jepun dan ia juga adalah salah satu cabang budaya kereta yang sudah lama menempa nama di Malaysia.\n\n\nSelalunya mereka yang ingin menjadi sebahagian daripada budaya ini akan berusaha untuk dapatkan kereta yang \nhanya dikeluarkan untuk pasaran Jepun seperti \nHonda Civic\n, Toyota Supra, Subaru Impreza WRX, dan lain-lain.\n\n\nCivic Honda Civic GIF \nfrom \nCivic GIFs\n\n\n\n\nTetapi, dengan kebanjiran model kereta daripada jenama Jepun yang dikeluarkan khas untuk pasaran Malaysia sekarang, ramai yang memilih untuk mendapatkan kereta yang lebih moden seperti \nHonda Civic \nType R keluaran tahun 2017. Model ini juga dikenali ramai sebagai Honda ketam kerana bentuk lampu belakangnya yang unik, yang kelihatan seakan-akan sepit ketam.\n\n\n\n\nIa menjadi kegilaan para penggemar JDM kerana bentuknya yang sangat \nsporty,\n rekaan yang amat garang, dan dikuasakan dengan enjin yang sangat berkuasa, iaitu enjin K20C1 2.0-liter empat silinder VTEC Turbo yang mampu menghasilkan sehingga 310 kuasa kuda! Laju tu!\n\n\nIni adalah antara stereotaip mengenai pemilik kereta yang popular dalam kalangan rakyat Malaysia. Walaupun begitu, tak bermakna semua pemilik kereta akan menunjukkan sikap yang sama walaupun mereka memiliki kereta yang kami senaraikan di atas. Maklumlah, rambut sama hitam, tapi hati lain-lain.\n\n\nKalau nak pilih kereta, tak perlu fikir terlalu banyak mengenai stereotaip yang ada. Cukup sekadar anda pilih kereta yang sesuai untuk kegunaaan harian anda dan mengikut bajet yang anda ada. Lagipun, anda yang akan pandu kereta tersebut, jadi tak perlulah risau tentang apa yang orang lain akan fikir.\n\n\nYang penting, sebagai seorang pemandu anda harus sentiasa mematuhi peraturan jalan raya dan anda juga perlu menghormati pengguna jalan raya yang lain.

Here are the key points to Subaru\u2019s new 2018 XV.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSubaru Global Platform\n\n\n\n\nThe new 2018 XV is built on Subaru\u2019s new Global Platform that is the foundation for all Subaru models, which was debuted on the current fifth generation Impreza sedan and hatchback. The brand spent a billion dollars on the new platform and although it is a monumental figure for a smaller Japanese carmaker, the expense is showing on safety.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIn a crash conducted by the National Agency for Automotive Safety and Victim Aid (NASVA) for the Japan New Car Assessment Programme (JNCAP), the XV\u2019s crash safety results were so high that it set a new Japanese record for chassis integrity and safety. Scoring 199.7 out of 208, crash tests showed that A and B-pillars held up to impacts, with access to the passenger doors effortless.\n\n\n\n\nWith the Global Platform, Subaru has aimed for increased body rigidity that improves handling performance, quicker steering response that is linear and predictable with straight line stability, manoeuvrability, yet with comfortable ride quality.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDesign\n\n\n\n\nThe overall look of the new XV has been refined with the identifying hexagonal grille, hawk-eye headlights, before bringing the form to the rear combination lights that share the same motif as the headlights. As the XV is based on the platform similar to the Impreza, the XV shares familiar tail lamps that give the rear a wider look. Fender flares express Subaru\u2019s All-Wheel Drive while matte-black cladding on the front and rear distinct the XV as a crossover.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nInside, the dashboard, lines and look has been completely reworked. Deep character lines accentuate a sportier and rugged look, while orange accents throughout the seats, door armrests, centre console and steering wheel give the new XV a nice contrasting appeal.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nImpressions\n\n\n\n\n\n\nButtons and the overall parts to the XV feel firm and made to stand the test of time. This includes hard plastics that cover the window switches, steering wheel controls and standard panelling. We like the use of mixed materials for the seats that also feel robust. Front passenger and driver seats are comfortable and the rear does have a good amount of legroom thanks to the increase in length. Cabin insulation is admirable even in harsher road conditions.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to driving, the new XV feels a little weighted in turning and the get go \u2013 one that we feel is due to the CVT transmission and all-wheel drive set up. The drive is very much sedan like, albeit for the higher seating position. Accelerator pedal feel is a little heavy to our liking, but once in motion, the CVT transmission does offer enough response to get the XV around and in speed. Despite the usual shuns about CVT transmissions, Subaru\u2019s Lineartronic CVT here does its duties rather well, and much more admirably than the previous generation.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThanks to the increased rigidity, the ride and handling has improved noticeably \u2013 with less body roll in corners. With the day\u2019s test drive covering all-wheel drive, agility in slalom, cornering dynamics and torque vectoring, the XV did very well not only in the off-road areas (of X-Mode and Symmetrical AWD) but also in the driving aspects.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nVerdict\n\n\n\n\nThe XV does place itself in a very unique position thanks to what it offers for its current price. Although some might compare the XV with other crossovers priced around this range (RM 118,819 \u2013 2.0i, RM 125,868 \u2013 2.0i-P), none of the other brands provide enough driving balance based on the all-wheel set up and platform that is the current best for safety. The only thing that we\u2019d like to change is that head unit though, cause it just seems like a lot of thought wasn\u2019t put into making it cohesive with the Subaru experience. Is this the car for you? Well as with most CVT transmission based cars, if you are able to accustom yourself with the feel of a CVT and wouldn\u2019t mind the ownership, the latest XV certainly warrants a closer look.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nHow to sell your car?

Here Are Common Car Issues That Can Catch You by Surprise", "By\n \nDevan S", "16/01/2023", "\n\n\n\n\n", "One part of being a car owner is dealing with sudden, unexpected problems. Issues like the engine suddenly stopping or aircon not working can be annoying and at worst, dangerous, but you can deal with them calmly if you know the possible causes and their severity. Most problems can be prevented by sticking with your car\u2019s service schedule, but even then, some may creep up unexpectedly.\u00a0\n\n\nSo to help you be prepared, here are common car issues that may catch you by surprise and how to deal with them.\n\n\n\n\nCar Suddenly Stops on The Road\n\n\nHaving your engine die while driving can be a scary thing especially if you\u2019re on a fast-moving highway as there\u2019s always a risk of an \naccident\n. Before we look at what you should do in that situation, here are the common causes of why a car engine suddenly stops.\n\n\n\n\nEngine overheating:\n Overheating is the most common cause of cars suddenly stopping. If you let the engine run for too long while overheating, the pistons can melt resulting in the engine shutting down.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLow engine oil levels: \nThe \nengine oil\n lubricates the engine to keep it at optimum operating temperature. Low fluid levels can increase friction, causing the engine to overheat and seize up, or even causing the pistons to crack or break.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlternator problems:\n The alternator generates electricity as you drive to power your car\u2019s electrical components, recharge the battery, and produce the sparks in the spark plug. If there\u2019s an issue with the alternator, the spark plugs might not produce sparks, interrupting the combustion in the engine.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFaulty fuel system:\n Issues with the fuel system may affect the amount of fuel supplied to the engine. If you have leaks in the fuel lines, or a faulty fuel pump and fuel filter, your engine might not get enough fuel to function.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFaulty catalytic converter: \nThe catalytic converter functions to reduce the harmful gasses being released in the exhaust fumes. If it is faulty or becomes clogged, the exhaust pipe can get backed up, which overworks the engine causing it to stop.\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nCar Warning Lights And Indicators. What Do They Mean?\n\n\nIf your car suddenly stops on the road and you can\u2019t turn it back on, you should stay calm and try to coast to the side of the road. If you end up stationary in the middle of the road, turn on your emergency signals, and only try to push your car to the curb if it\u2019s safe enough. Otherwise, it\u2019s safer to stay in the car and allow traffic to slow down first.\n\n\nThen, call a tow truck to tow you to a nearby workshop and have a mechanic check your car. Since there could be any number of reasons for your car to suddenly stall, they may need a day or even more to identify the cause so be prepared for it.\u00a0\n\n\nCar Suddenly Jerks\n\n\nIf your \ncar suddenly jerks\n, lurches, or vibrates excessively while driving, there might be something messing with the combustion, fuel delivery, or transmission. While sudden vibrations are seldom urgent problems, they could lead to serious damage in the engine if left unchecked.\u00a0\n\n\nA jerking car \ncan be caused by worn or damaged spark plugs, dirty air and fuel filters, clogged fuel injectors, or transmission issues. Most of these issues can be fixed with regular maintenance, so you might want to first check if you\u2019ve missed your service schedule if your car starts jerking.\n\n\nIf your car is still under warranty, it\u2019s a good idea to get it thoroughly checked to rule out any manufacturing defects. If you drive a CVT (continuously variable transmission) car, and it jerks especially when driving from a standstill, you could have an issue with dirty transmission fluid. That said, unless your car jerks excessively and consistently, or does it at high speed and thus posing a crash hazard, you can mostly wait for your next service to get it checked.\n\n\n\n\nSudden Acceleration While Driving\u00a0\n\n\nSudden unintended acceleration (SUA) happens when a vehicle accelerates without a driver\u2019s control. Although it\u2019s an uncommon car issue, it\u2019s also one of the more dangerous.\u00a0\n\n\nIt can happen when the accelerator pedal becomes unresponsive, entrapped (stuck) to the floor mat, or when there\u2019s a malfunction in the electronic throttle control. These issues can cause your car to accelerate without your input and sometimes even prevent you from braking or returning your car to neutral gear.\n\n\nSudden acceleration is dangerous as it could cause accidents especially if it happens on a crowded road. If you realize your car is suddenly accelerating out of control, here are steps you can take to regain control.\n\n\n\n\nFirstly, don\u2019t turn off your engine as you will lose control of the brakes and steering, impacting your ability to move off the road.\n\n\nPress down hard on the brake pedal until you can stop or move your car to the side. Don\u2019t pump the brakes as it could cause your car to lose control or roll over. If your brakes aren\u2019t working, gently apply the emergency brake to slow down your car.\n\n\nPut your car in neutral or depress the clutch pedal to disengage the transmission. This will stop the engine from pushing the car forward. Avoid making sudden or irregular movements while driving as it could cause your car to lose control.\n\n\nOnce you manage to slow down your car, move it to a safe spot on the side of the road. Then turn off the engine and put the parking brakes on. As this is a serious issue, it\u2019s best to get your car to the nearest workshop to get it fixed.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSudden Temperature Increase\n\n\nOverheating\n is one of the more common car issues and is usually caused by faulty components in the coolant system or low coolant levels. That said, it\u2019s also usually identified early since you can monitor the engine temperature on your car\u2019s information display. In rare cases, overheating can lead to your \nengine catching fire\n. Here\u2019s what you should do if your car suddenly overheats.\n\n\n\n\nIf you notice the engine temperature \nwarning light\n coming on or if there\u2019s smoke coming out of the engine, you should first keep calm and slowly move off the road.\u00a0\n\n\nOnce you\u2019ve stopped at the side of the road, turn off the engine. If you\u2019re close to a workshop or parking lot, slowly drive there instead.\n\n\nIf you manage to get to a workshop, let them look at it. Otherwise, wait till your car cools down a bit before opening the hood. Make sure the engine is cool enough before opening or you\u2019ll risk burning yourself.\n\n\nAfter your engine has cooled down, top up the water in the radiator and try to drive to a nearby workshop. If you can\u2019t start your car, get a tow truck to bring you to a workshop.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \n\u00a0\nStop Driving On An Almost-empty Fuel Tank Or Risk Damaging Your Fuel Pump\n\n\nCar Making Sudden Noises\n\n\nOdd noises from cars are common issues and usually point to wear and tear. If the noises are a one-off thing, you probably don\u2019t need to worry about it, but if they happen often, you should definitely get them checked. Here are some common sounds that you should be aware of.\n\n\n\n\nSquealing brakes: \nSquealing brakes\n could mean that your brake rotors are nearing the end of their lifespan or it could just be the dust and debris. If your brakes squeal often and persistently, it\u2019s time to check them.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLow humming or droning noise: \nA low humming noise from the tires while driving could mean that your tires are old, worn, or underinflated. If your tires still hum when they\u2019re properly inflated, it could be time to change them. However, you could also have worn wheel bearings, so it\u2019s best to get the opinion of your mechanic.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSquealing when you start the car: \nIf your car makes a loud squealing sound that gradually fades, you most likely have a faulty serpentine belt. Unlike the timing belt which helps to propel your car, the serpentine belt helps power the various electrical components in your car from the alternator to the power steering. If you have this problem, get your serpentine belt checked immediately.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRattling noises: \nA rattling or vibrating noise could mean that something is loose somewhere in your car. It would probably be more annoying than anything if the noise is from a loose piece of interior trim but if it\u2019s coming from the front or rear end of your car, then you might have worn suspension components. The main culprit is usually the bushing but it could also be a bad ball joint or shock absorber. To identify if your suspension is the source of the rattling, first, park your car. Then, press down firmly on the exterior corner and listen for a sound.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSudden High Revvings\n\n\nHas your car\u2019s engine RPM suddenly increased while driving? It might be caused by several issues including those relating to the transmission, timing belt, speed sensor, worn spark plugs, or dirty fuel injectors or air filters. Unless the spike in RPM happens often, most of these issues aren\u2019t that serious, though it\u2019s still best to get it checked as soon as possible.\n\n\nIf you notice a high revving noise while driving, stay calm and aware of your surroundings. You might want to let off the accelerator pedal and be ready to press on the brakes in case you need to. Otherwise, the revving should stop in a few seconds. If the RPM stays high for more than a few seconds and occurs several times throughout your drive, it\u2019s best to get it checked right away as it could signify that parts such as the timing belt or transmission are close to failing.\n\n\n\n\nCar Aircon Suddenly Not Cold\n\n\nWe\u2019ve probably all faced this problem where our \ncar aircon\n is suddenly not cold anymore. And in a hot tropical climate like ours, that can make driving unbearable. So, why is your car aircon suddenly blowing hot air? Here are the main culprits of this problem.\n\n\n\n\nLow refrigerant levels: \n\u00a0Without enough refrigerant, your aircon can\u2019t effectively cool down the air before blowing it into the cabin.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDamaged condenser cooling fan:\n The fan circulates the air in the aircon and cools down the condenser. Without it, the condenser can\u2019t function as it should and air can\u2019t circulate well enough to be cooled down.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA broken condenser: \nThe condenser cools down the refrigerant, which absorbs the heat from the air in your cabin. So a broken condenser will cause your aircon unable to absorb the heat in the air.\n\n\n\n\nIf your aircon is suddenly blowing hot air or just doesn\u2019t get cold enough, it\u2019s time to visit an aircon specialist as soon as possible. Most of the time, the problem is due to low refrigerant levels, so you might just need to top it up.\u00a0\n\n\nYou can also inspect the cooling fan yourself which is located in the engine bay at the front of the car. There are often two fans \u2013 one on the radiator, and another on the condenser. However, some cars have only one fan for both systems. When you switch on the aircon, the condenser fan should be running. If it\u2019s not, or if it spins slowly, then it might be the root of the problem.\u00a0\n\n\nSudden Jump in Resale Value\n\n\nSo you discovered that your car\u2019s resale value has suddenly increased, but you don\u2019t know if you should do anything about it. Well, you could sell it if you\u2019ve been meaning to downsize your garage. Or, if you\u2019ve been thinking of upgrading your ride, now is the perfect time to trade it in for a new one!\n\n\nBefore you decide to trade in your car, though, make sure you consider your needs, budget, and ability to cover the monthly expenses of the car. Otherwise, you might be biting off more than you can chew.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for great deals on affordable, quality cars, check out CARSOME.

In 1978, efforts to go against Datsun\u2019s (Nissan) Z-car birthed the Celica XX. It featured a newer version of the famous in-line six-cylinder M engine seen in Toyota\u2019s revolutionary 2000 GT.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nToyota's legendary 2000 GT.\n\n\n\n\n\n    Although known in Japan as the Celica XX, the international market knew the car as the Toyota Celica Supra. During development, the brand sought help from Lotus Cars in the engineering side in exchange for components for Lotus\u2019 Excel.\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom above: A 1981 Toyota Celica Supra and the A60 Supra.\n\n\n\n\n\n    During this production, the Celica Supra began with the A40/A50 first generation that ran from 1978 to 1981, followed on with the A60 successor from 1982 to 1986 that was sportier in looks.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    But it wasn\u2019t until the A70 that Toyota split the Celica and Supra into separate model lines, with the former converted to front wheel drive, while the Supra maintained its rear-wheel platform.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Despite the third generation Supra A70 setting off to a slow start, in 1987 the brand included a turbocharger into the last M series engine with the designation 7M-GTE that produced 230 hp. It was at this moment that the Supra nameplate added on a Turbo which further boosted popularity thanks to the power and position in the late 1980s.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: Wheelsage.org\n\n\n\n\n\n    Towards the end of the A70\u2019s model line, at the turn of the 1990s, the third generation Supra went on to be the best of what it could be \u2013 by having Toyota\u2019s all new flagship straight-six engine that brought together a whole new following, the 1JZ. At its peak, the A70 Supra bowed out with a 2.5 Twin Turbo R model that produced 276 hp.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    1993 saw the launch of the successor, the A80 fourth generation Supra. Developed under the guidance by Isao Tsuzuki, chief engineer who also worked on the first Celica and the MR2, the A80 design moved away from the boxier shape of yesteryears Supras and was more aerodynamically efficient than ever \u2013 shaving off 100 kg in weight to the A70. Despite the ever growing fanbase for the Supra, Toyota did not realise that the A80\u2019s beating heart would go on to be a legend.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Nestled in the bonnet of the A80 is an engine that enthusiasts rave on till today, the 3.0-litre 2JZ straight-six that was offered in either naturally aspirated or twin-turbocharged flavours with power figures between 220 hp and 326 hp.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    But of both engine versions, the turbocharged 2JZ-GTE engine is the one with the glowing reputation. The reason behind its high praise is due to the fact that Toyota over-engineered the engine with robust materials that included cast iron, forged steel, and aluminium. This allowed tuners and enthusiasts to significantly up the power output by almost three times without the need to do significant engine work; and up to almost 10 times for those that did modify the engines.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: Universal Pictures\n\n\n\n\n\n    Yet, the Supra\u2019s reputation only took superstardom in popular culture when it became the centrepiece in the 2001 film, The Fast and the Furious. The film provided a deeper look into the world of aftermarket tuned cars with a focus on the Japanese sports car market. In one of the most popular scenes, Brian O\u2019Conner (Paul Walker) drag races and leaves behind a Ferrari F355 Spider with a modified Supra A80.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nAkio Toyoda, President Toyota Motor Corporation, and Dr Norbert Reithofer, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG.\n\n\n\n\n\n    Since Toyota stopped production of the A80 in 2002, there was no word on the next generation Supra until in June 2012, when news broke of a finalised agreement between the brand\u2019s partnership with BMW on a future sports car.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Then in less than two years, Toyota showcased the FT-1 Concept at the 2014 Detroit Motor Show. While there was not much detail to go around, except for confirmation that it would be a combustion only engine without a hybrid powertrain, further spotting of the vehicle under heavy disguise testing at the N\u00fcrburgring and a debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed just last year has come down to the final reveal just early this week.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Almost seven years have passed since the BMW-Toyota partnership and things have come down to this. Thanks to the partnership, we now know that the A90 Supra shares quite a lot in common with BMW\u2019s latest 2018 G29 Z4, but what does the new Supra offer and what\u2019s different with the Z4? Read on to find out.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        Now that the camouflage is out, it is hard not to notice the lines that\u2019s inspired from the A80. In the words from Toyota, \u201cThe 2020 Supra embodies its rich lineage at first glance, with a design that shows a particular kinship with the fourth-generation Supra built from 1993 to 2002, as well as the landmark 1967 Toyota 2000 GT. The resemblance is more than skin deep: the new-generation Supra also shares with those notable models the common traits of a short wheelbase, sophisticated chassis, and high-performance inline-six-cylinder engine.\u201d\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        While unofficial, it is widely mentioned that the Supra will also be available in a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine from BMW with 194 hp and 255 hp variants.\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        Specification numbers will make fans happy. The Supra has a 3.0-litre straight-six twin-scroll turbo engine producing 335 hp and 495 Nm of torque paired to a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission sending power to the rear wheels. Century sprint time is estimated to be 4.1-seconds electronically limited to 250 km/h. This makes the new Supra the fastest Toyota to date.\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        Despite sharing the same platform development with BMW, where the Supra differs is in the design which included wind tunnel testing and the final tuning of the powertrain and transmission to suit the Supra\u2019s purpose.\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        Toyota Gazoo Racing had a specific vision in the development, with the focus of having high structural rigidity, low centre of gravity, 50:50 weight distribution and neutral cornering balance.\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        For performance driving enthusiasts, the Supra will have an active differential that uses and electric motor and multi-plate clutches to control lateral torque. The active differential precisely controls torque distribution between the rear wheels, with stepless variable locking from zero to 100 per cent. The differential can control torque distribution between the rear wheels when cornering under both acceleration and braking, enabling greater momentum through a corner. The active differential is also effective at ensuring neutral handling by reducing both understeer and oversteer.\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        Adaptive Variable Suspension is standard and instantly adjusts damping force in response to driver input and road conditions. There are two suspension settings available \u2013 Normal and Sport.\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        The overall dimensions of the Supra is longer than the Toyota GT86, however the wheelbase is shorter and has a lower centre of gravity compared to the smaller sibling.\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        The A90\u2019s chief engineer is Tetsuya Tada, the gentleman who was also responsible for working on the GT86 and in his portfolio, was also part of the Daihatsu Passo development. During Tada\u2019s time in Toyota, he\u2019s also had the guidance from Isao Tsuzuki, the chief engineer for the A80.\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        The new Supra will be under Toyota\u2019s motorsports division called Gazoo Racing with a GRMN (Gazoo Racing tuned by Meisters of the N\u00fcrburgring) version rumoured to be in the works.\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        Thanks to the co-development with BMW, the Supra has an almost identical interior treatment to the German manufacturer. A look into the cabin layout and parts will be uncannily similar, including the gear shifter, iDrive system with controller and climate controls amongst others.\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        The Supra will be assembled at Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria alongside BMW\u2019s Z4.\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nWant to have a closer look at the Supra's other half? \nClick here\n for BMW's Z4!\n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nIt's never too late!

Meskipun begitu, banyak perkara penting yang perlu dilakukan dan diberi perhatian bagi memastikan proses pembelian kereta berjalan lancar. Kontrak pembelian kereta misalnya merupakan salah satu perkara penting dalam proses pembelian kereta. Carsome menyenaraikan semua perkara berkaitan surat perjanjian jual beli kereta atau kontrak jualan kereta yang perlu anda tahu bagi memastikan proses pembelian kereta anda berjalan dengan lancar.\n\n\n\n\nKontrak Jual Beli Kereta: Apa itu Surat Perjanjian Jual Beli Kereta?\n\n\nPerjanjian pembelian kenderaan merupakan kontrak pembelian antara pembeli dan penjual yang menggariskan syarat pembelian semasa proses jual beli kereta dilakukan. Dalam erti kata lain, kontrak pembelian merupakan kontrak rasmi yang menyatakan persetujuan anda untuk membayar kos kenderaan secara ansuran dari semasa ke semasa sebagai tambahan kepada faedah lain yang ditetapkan. Sebaik sahaja anda menandatangani perjanjian, anda terikat dengan syarat perjanjian tertentu bergantung pada perkara yang dipersetujui dan digariskan dalam kontrak.\n\n\nSurat Perjanjian Jual Beli Kereta: Komponen Penting Kontrak yang Perlu Diberi Perhatian\n\n\nKontrak pembelian atau perjanjian jual beli kereta merupakan kontrak sah yang menentukan terma dan syarat jual beli yang telah dipersetujui oleh kedua-dua belah pihak. Oleh sebab itu, penting untuk anda memahami kesemua klausa, terma dan syarat yang dinyatakan dalam surat perjanjian jual beli kereta secara total sebelum menandatanganinya. Carsome menyenaraikan komponen penting dalam kontrak perajanjian jual beli kereta yang biasa ditemui untuk maklumat anda:\n\n\n1. Maklumat Pembeli\n\n\nSecara amnya, kontrak jual beli kereta agak ringkas dan tidak terlalu kompleks \u2013 ia menyenaraikan maklumat asas pembeli seperti nama, alamat pembeli (termasuk nama dan alamat penjual), tarikh lahir, nombor kad pengenalan dan beberapa maklumat penting lain.\n\n\n2. Maklumat Kenderaan\n\n\nSelain itu, kontrak jual beli kereta juga menerangkan spefikasi lengkap kenderaan yang dibeli. Ia menyatakan maklumat kenderaan seperti nombor pengenalan kenderaan (nombor VIN kereta), jenis dan model kereta termasuk tahun pembuatan.\n\n\n3. Maklumat Jualan dan Harga\n\n\nKontrak jual beli kereta juga menyenaraikan secara terperinci jumlah harga yang perlu dibiayai. Ia termasuk harga kereta, aksesori tambahan yang disediakan, yuran pengurusan dokumen, \ncukai jualan kereta\n, yuran pengiklanan dan lain-lain. Selain itu, ia juga akan menyenaraikan amaun bayaran pendahuluan yang dipersetujui.\n\n\n4. Maklumat Pembiayaan\n\n\nKontrak jual beli kereta juga menyatakan maklumat pembiayaan lengkap. Ia akan menyenaraikan maklumat tentang Kadar Peratusan Tahunan (APR) yang dikenakan, caj kewangan, jumlah amaun yang dibiayai, jumlah pembayaran dan jumlah keseluruhan harga jualan. Nilai \ntrade-in\n kereta juga akan dinyatakan di sini (jika berkaitan).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKadar Peratusan Tahunan merujuk pada amaun yang akan dicaj setiap tahun sebagai faedah untuk membiayai kereta baharu anda.\n\n\nBahagian Caj Kewangan pula menerangkan amaun yang perlu dibayar untuk membiayai kenderaan anda sepanjang tempoh kontrak.\n\n\nAmaun Pembiayaan menerangkan jumlah amaun pembelian yang perlu dijelaskan termasuk harga kereta, sebarang penambahan item atau aksesori, cukai jualan kereta dan bayaran pendahuluan yang telah dijelaskan.\n\n\nJumlah Bayaran pula mewakili jumlah keseluruhan yang perlu dibayar untuk pembelian kereta dengan mendarabkan jumlah bayaran ansuran bulanan dan tempoh bayaran ansuran.\n\n\nJumlah Keseluruhan Harga Jualan membolehkan anda mengetahui jumlah keseluruhan kos pembelian kereta anda. Ia termasuk harga jualan keseluruhan selepas semua pembayaran dijelaskan pada akhir kontrak.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKesilapan yang Biasa Dilakukan Semasa Menandatangani Perjanjian Jual Beli Kereta\n\n\nSurat perjanjian jual beli kereta merupakan salah satu proses penting semasa prosedur jual beli kereta dilakukan. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk menyemak perjanjian dengan teliti sebelum menandatangani perjanjian untuk mengelakkan kesilapan-kesilapan yang tidak disengajakan. Ini kerana, anda tidak boleh sewenang-wenangnya menarik diri daripada perjanjian pembelian kereta setelah kontrak dipersetujui dan ditandatangani. Berikut merupakan antara kesilapan-kesilapan biasa yang sering dilakukan yang perlu diberi perhatian:\n\n\n1. Maklumat Peribadi Tidak Tepat\n\n\nPastikan anda \ndouble check\n maklumat peribadi anda seperti nama, alamat dan maklumat-maklumat lain dinyatakan dengan tepat dan betul. Maklumat peribadi yang salah boleh menyebabkan komplikasi dan kesulitan pada masa akan datang,\n\n\n2. Ada Caj Tersembunyi\n\n\nYuran tersembunyi biasa dikenakan semasa pembelian kereta lebih-lebih lagi jika pembelian kereta dilakukan menerusi pihak ketiga. Jika ada apa-apa bayaran yang tidak dijangka dikenakan, anda boleh bertanyakan mengenainya dengan lebih lanjut. Sekiranya ada yuran tambahan atau penambahan kos lain yang tidak seperti yang dipersetujui, minta pengedar untuk mengeluarkannya daripada kontrak.\n\n\n3. Caj Item \nAdd On\n Percuma Turut Dinyatakan\n\n\nBiasanya, pengedar akan menawarkan item \nadd on\n atau aksesori kereta tambahan percuma untuk model-model tertentu bagi menarik minat pembeli kereta. Namun jika anda mendapati item ini dimasukkan dalam kontrak dengan caj tambahan (kos sepatutnya dinyatakan RM0), anda disarankan untuk mendapatkan kepastian daripada pengedar sebelum menandatangi perjanjian \njual beli kereta\n anda.\n\n\n4. Tidak Memahami Syarat Pinjaman\n\n\nKadar faedah kereta\n memainkan peranan penting dalam menentukan kos keseluruhan pembiayaan kereta anda. Oleh itu, pastikan anda semak syarat pinjaman dan kadar faedah yang dinyatakan dalam kontrak adalah sama seperti yang telah dipersetujui untuk mengelakkan anda membayar kos pembiayaan yang lebih mahal berbanding kos sepatutnya.\n\n\n5. Bayaran Pendahuluan Tidak Dinyatakan dengan Tepat\n\n\nSelain itu, pastikan amaun bayaran pendahuluan untuk kereta yang dibeli dinyatakan dengan tepat dalam kontrak perjanjian jual beli. Ia bertujuan untuk memastikan anda hanya membayar amaun hutang yang betul sepanjang tempoh pembiayaan.\n\n\n6. Nilai \nTrade-in\n Kereta Tidak Sama\n\n\nJika anda \ntrade-in\n kereta lama\n untuk membantu membiayai kereta baharu anda, pastikan nilai \ntrade-in\n dinyatakan dengan betul dan sepadan dengan amaun yang telah dipersetujui. Jika salah, anda mungkin terikat dengan amaun hutang yang lebih tinggi berbanding nilai hutang sepatutnya.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nBeli Kereta Pertama?

Semua orang tahu hakikat itu. Disebabkan itulah, macam-macam benda yang harus dinilai dahulu termasuklah jumlah hutang pinjaman kerana ianya akan mempengaruhi keputusan yang akan dibuat.\u00a0\n\n\nSebelum nak beli kereta, anda kena tanya soalan ini kepada diri anda sendiri, \u201cMampu ke aku nak beli?\u201d. Tapi kenapa macam mudah sangat soalannya? Kalau anda bingung kenapa soalan ini mudah, mungkin belum tiba masanya untuk anda membeli kereta*.\u00a0\n\n\nKereta tak gunakan air liur untuk bergerak \u2013 belum ada teknologi itu lagi. Nak pakai kereta, kena pastikan kereta sentiasa dijaga. Dan daripada situ datang pula persoalan kedua, \u201cMampu ke aku nak jaga kereta ini?\u201d. Mungkin ini susah sikit untuk dijawab memandangkan ada saja kereta model baharu yang didatangkan dengan pakej penyelenggaraan percuma untuk beberapa tahun pertama dan ada juga yang tidak disertakan. Biasanya, jurujual atau pusat servis dah buat anggaran kos untuk penyelenggaraan berkala dan daripada situ anda dah boleh agak sama ada anda mampu atau tidak untuk memastikan kereta boleh terus digunakan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSekarang mari kita tengok faktor lain yang orang selalu terlepas pandang. Ia ialah kadar susut nilai atau nilai jualan semula. Tak ramai yang menganggap ini sebagai faktor penting ketika membeli kereta. Biasanya, ada yang beli kereta kerana mereka sukakannya dan tak merancang untuk menjualnya kembali. Manakala, ada yang nak membeli kereta baharu selepas beberapa tahun memilikinya dan ingin mendapatkan nilai jualan tertinggi daripada kereta yang mereka ada sekarang.\u00a0\n\n\nTak susah pun nak tahu kereta yang ada kadar susut nilai yang rendah. Lihat sahaja kereta daripada model arus perdana seperti Proton, Perodua, Honda, ataupun Toyota yang menawarkan nilai untuk pembelian, kualiti terjamin, penyelenggaraan yang tak mahal, penggunaan minyak yang jimat, dan ada ciri keselamatan yang bagus.\u00a0\n\n\nApa Itu Nilai Susut Kereta?\u00a0\n\n\nPenyusutan nilai kereta ini tak semestinya melibatkan berapa lama kereta itu digunakan. Untuk orang biasa faham, susut nilai merupakan perbezaan nilai antara harga asal kereta ketika dibeli dan harga jika ia dijual kembali.\u00a0\n\n\nSemua benda mengalami susut nilai apabila semakin berusia. Ini termasuklah kereta. Apabila kereta keluar daripada pusat jualan, harganya telah pun jatuh.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKadar susut nilai pula merujuk kepada berapa banyak nilai kereta yang telah susut apabila ia semakin berusia. Ia bukan sahaja berbeza mengikut model kereta tetapi juga antara kereta dalam model yang sama dengan mengambil kira pelbagai faktor. Nanti kita akan bincangkan faktor-faktor ini kemudian.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau diambil secara purata, nilai susut nilai adalah antara 15 hingga 35 peratus pada tahun pertama dan akan meningkat hingga 50 peratus apabila ia memasuki tahun kelima. Walau bagaimanapun, angka ini cumalah sekadar andaian saja.\u00a0\n\n\nKenapa Kena Ambil Tahu?\u00a0\n\n\nPenting untuk anda faham dan tahu tentang nilai susut nilai kereta kerana ia boleh mempengaruhi kereta apa yang anda nak beli nanti.\u00a0\n\n\nJika anda merancang untuk menaik taraf di masa yang akan datang, membeli kereta dengan kadar susut nilai yang rendah akan membolehkan anda menjualnya kembali dengan nilai jualan tinggi supaya anda boleh membeli kereta baharu dengan harga yang lebih murah. Tetapi, kalau anda memang nak pakai lama kereta yang dibeli, hal susut nilai ini tak perlulah anda risaukan. Ini biasa bagi pembelian model kereta yang tidak popular.\u00a0\n\n\nWalaupun nak tilik kadar susut nilai ini bukannya mudah, ada beberapa faktor serta harga model sebelum ini boleh membantu. Jika kereta yang anda miliki telah mengalami susut nilai lebih banyak daripada apa yang anda jangkakan, adalah lebih baik untuk anda tidak\u00a0 menjualnya dan terikat dengan pinjaman baharu.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nKereta Mahal Punca Golongan Muda Jadi Muflis?\n\n\n10 Faktor Yang Mempengaruhi Susut Nilai Kereta di Malaysia\u00a0\n\n\nSusut nilai kereta ini bukan saja bergantung kepada model tetapi juga setiap unit kereta yang dijual bagi model yang sama bergantung kepada keadaan. Kalau dinilai daripada faktor-faktor ini, lebih baik anda tahu sedikit tentang susut nilai jika anda nak membeli kereta selepas ini.\u00a0\n\n\n1. Reputasi Yang Boleh Dipercayai\n\n\nTiada apa boleh menandingi reputasi yang boleh diharapkan. Ini kerana pada akhirnya, kereta ialah satu bentuk pengangkutan yang menghubungkan dua titik. Itu saja tujuan utamanya, untuk membawa anda daripada tempat anda sekarang ke tempat yang anda ingini. Disebabkan itu, kereta dengan reputasi yang boleh diharapkan memiliki kadar susut nilai yang rendah.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \n4 Cara Mudah Untuk Kenal Pasti Kereta Terpakai yang Terbaik Bagi Pembeli Kali Pertama\n\n\nToyota telah membina kebolehpercayaan ini melalui model Corolla sehingga ramai orang menganggap model ini sangat boleh diharapkan. Walau bagaimanapun, model kereta daripada jenama yang sama tetapi mempunyai reputasi yang teruk akan mengalami susut nilai yang tinggi.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Rekod Servis Kereta\u00a0\n\n\nKereta ini sebuah mesin rumit yang perlu dijaga dengan baik untuk memastikan setiap gear berfungsi dengan lancar. Memastikan kereta diservis mengikut jadual yang telah ditetapkan boleh memastikan kereta berada dalam keadaan baik dan boleh menjamin ia boleh digunakan lebih lama lagi. Pastikan anda menyimpan kesemua rekod dan resit setelah anda servis kereta anda terutamanya servis di pusat servis bertauliah Kalau anda servis kereta di pusat servis lain, buat juga perkara yang sama. Kalau rekod servis kereta hilang atau tak lengkap, mesti ada sesuatu yang tak kena dengan kereta tersebut.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n3. Tempoh Waranti\u00a0\n\n\nMakin banyak pengeluar kereta yang mula memanjangkan tempoh waranti asal, ada yang sehingga lapan tahun bagi kes-kes tertentu. Jika waranti asal pengeluar masih lagi sah semasa kereta dijual, ia boleh dijual dengan harga yang tinggi memandangkan ia masih lagi dilindungi.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Keadaan Kereta\u00a0\n\n\nYang cantik dan lawa saja yang akan dipandang, maka kerana itulah kereta yang luarannya\u00a0 berada dalam keadaan bagus mempunyai nilai yang lebih tinggi. Cat kereta dalam keadaan baik dan bahagian dalaman kereta kemas akan melengkapkan rekod servis yang cukup. Anda boleh memandu kereta dengan bahagian dalaman yang kotor dengan cat kereta yang pudar atau ada kesan lekuk kecil tetapi ia menunjukkan anda merupakan pemilik yang tak bertanggungjawab dan anda terpaksa keluarkan duit untuk baiki semua kerosakan yang ada.\u00a0\n\n\n5. Kecekapan Minyak\u00a0\n\n\nDengan kemungkinan harga minyak akan meningkat, kereta yang cekap penggunaan minyaknya ada nilainya nanti. Jika anda banyak memandu, kereta dengan penggunaan minyak yang cekap boleh menjimatkan duit anda. Disebabkan itu, tak mengejutkan pun model kereta dengan kadar susut nilai yang rendah biasanya cekap penggunaan minyaknya.\u00a0\n\n\n6. Pilihan Pengguna\u00a0\n\n\nTak semua akan kekal lama, ini termasuklah gaya dan minat manusia. Sama seperti cita rasa dan minat pengguna kepada kereta. Kalau nak diikutkan, SUV menjadi pilihan terkini\u00a0 terutamanya yang jenis kompak. Kalau anda nak tahu, Proton X50 telah mengalahkan Perodua Myvi dalam kereta paling banyak dijual pada Julai 2022. Sesuatu yang tak mudah untuk dicapai. Disebabkan itulah, memilih jenis kereta yang popular dalam kalangan pelanggan boleh mengurangkan kadar susut nilai.\u00a0\n\n\n7. Jenis Kereta\u00a0\n\n\nSemua orang tahu kereta mewah sangat mudah susut nilai. Beberapa model daripada jenama mewah dan premium boleh susut nilai sehingga 50 peratus daripada harga asal pada tahun pertama pemilikan. Kos servis yang lebih mahal menjadi punca kereta jenis ini lebih cepat susut nilai. Memanglah tarikan untuk memiliki kereta berjenama itu kuat tetapi anda kena ingat, kos nak servis kereta ini bukanlah murah.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n8. Perbatuan (\nMilage\n)\u00a0\n\n\nRamai yang ingat kereta dengan perbatuan yang rendah itu lebih baik tapi tak semestinya begitu. Kereta dengan perbatuan yang tinggi tetapi dalam keadaan baik adalah lebih baik berbanding dengan kereta dengan perbatuan rendah tetapi dengan rekod servis yang meragukan atau menggunakan alat ganti yang tak asli. Yang lebih baik? Kereta dengan perbatuan rendah beserta dengan rekod servis yang bagus. Jangan sesekali percaya kereta yang ada perbatuan yang rendah ini bagus.\n\n\n9. Jumlah Pemilik\u00a0\n\n\nBerapa ramai yang dah pernah memiliki sesuatu kereta itu tak jadi masalah. Selagi mana kereta itu dijaga dengan baik dan tidak pernah terlibat dalam kemalangan teruk atau ada lain-lain kerosakan, dan banyak kali bertukar pemilik pun tak jadi masalah. Ramai orang menganggap kalau kereta yang sudah banyak kali bertukar tangan itu menandakan adanya masalah dengan kereta tetapi itu tak tepat. Ini sepatutnya menenangkan hati anda ketika membuat keputusan.\u00a0\n\n\n10. Tentuan/Spesifikasi\u00a0\n\n\nKebanyakan model disertakan dengan beberapa tahap spesifikasi atau tentuan dengan pilihan \nperanti \nyang ada. Pilih kereta dengan peranti yang paling banyak orang guna berbanding dengan model yang sama tetapi dengan bilangan peranti yang tak banyak. Kadang-kadang, spesifikasi andalan (flagship) ini tak semestinya yang terbaik untuk kita beli kerana ia mungkin sekadar untuk nampak \u2018cantik\u2019 saja. Tetapi, jika spesifikasi yang disertakan merangkumi ciri keselamatan yang lebih baik, ia akan dijamin mempunyai kadar susut nilai yang lebih rendah.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPurata Kadar Susut Nilai Kereta di Malaysia\u00a0\n\n\nMengira kadar susut kereta ini seperti menilik masa depan. Walau bagaimanapun, carta bagi kadar ini sentiasa berganda dan sangat jarang ia mendatar. Ini bermakna, kereta baharu akan mempunyai kadar susut nilai yang lebih tinggi pada tahun pertama berbanding pada lima tahun kemudian.\u00a0\n\n\nContohnya, nilai kereta akan susut banyak pada tahun pertama. Angkanya antara 15 hingga 35 peratus atau lebih bergantung kepada jenis kereta. Tahun seterusnya, kadar susut nilai jatuh kepada 15 hingga 25 peratus setiap tahun. Selepas tahun kelima, nilai kereta dianggarkan kira-kira 40 peratus daripada harga asal.\u00a0\n\n\nCara Untuk Kurangkan Kadar Susut Nilai Kereta Anda\u00a0\n\n\nKenyataan yang pahit tapi tetap harus diterima. Apa yang boleh anda buat adalah pastikan kadar susut nilai serendah mungkin. Kalau anda nak pastikan kereta anda tak susut nilai cepat, ini mungkin boleh membantu anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nServis kereta anda ikut jadual yang ditetapkan. Kalau lambat tukar minyak hitam mungkin nampak remeh tapi ia boleh membatalkan waranti kereta dan menampakkan kereta ini tidak dijaga dengan baik pada pembeli seterusnya.\u00a0\n\n\nSimpan segala rekod fan resit penyelenggaraan atau pembaikan kereta. Cuba untuk servis kereta di pusat servis rasmi sekalipun waranti dah tamat.\u00a0\n\n\nJika berlaku apa-apa kerosakan, terus baikinya. Mengabaikan komponen yang telah rosak boleh merosakkan komponen lain. Ini boleh merabakkan dompet anda untuk membaikinya.\u00a0\n\n\nBiarkan kereta seadanya tanpa ubah suai. Kurangkan ubah suai, \u2018mekap\u2019 atau tingkatkan prestasi boleh mengurangkan kadar susut nilai. Kalau nak tukar rim yang lebih besar pun terpaksa keluarkan duit untuk beli tayar yang lebih besar bila tiba masa nak menggantikannya.\u00a0\n\n\nPilih warna yang popular. Hitam, kelabu, putih, dan perak ialah warna yang boleh kekalkan nilai kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nDapatkan spesifikasi/tentuan yang sesuai. Pilih spesifikasi tahap permulaan mungkin boleh menjimatkan duit anda tetapi ia boleh menurunkan nilai kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nJual pada masa yang sesuai sebelum ia menjunam. Biasanya pemilik akan terus jual pada tahun kelima atau sebelum model baharu dilancarkan.\u00a0\n\n\nJangan berkira untuk alat ganti. Contohnya, apabila nak tukar tayar, jangan cari tayar murah semata-mata untuk berjimat. Nanti pemilik baharu akan fikir yang bukan-bukan tentang kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKesimpulan\n\n\nKalau anda tak nak alami susut nilai yang tinggi sebelum membeli kereta yang lain, membeli kereta pramilik yang berkualiti mungkin boleh menyelamatkan anda memandangkan kebanyakan susut nilai telah ditanggung oleh pemilik sebelum ini.\u00a0\n\n\nCARSOME merupakan pilihan bagi mendapatkan kereta pramilik dengan jaminan kualiti melalui pemeriksaan 175-titik dan pembaikpulihan yang profesional merangkumi pembaikan am dan mekanikal, termasuklah baik pulih badan dan cat kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nKunjungi laman web CARSOME sekarang untuk pilihan kereta pramilik terbaik.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel ini merupakan terjemahan daripada \u201c\n10 Factors Affecting Your Car\u2019s Depreciation Rate & How to Maintain Your Car\u2019s Value\n\u201d\n\n", "Tags\nharga kereta\nsusut nilai kereta", "Ahmad Azwadie Azman", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Selain tujuan penggunaan, harga semasa dan kadar penggunaan bahan api, faktor-faktor lain seperti kadar susut nilai juga perlu diberi perhatian. Faktor ini penting untuk membolehkan anda menganggarkan nilai semasa kereta anda untuk tempoh sekurang-kurangnya lima tahun akan datang. Cara ini dapat mengelakkan anda daripada membeli kereta dengan kadar susut nilai yang tinggi sekali gus merugikan anda sekiranya ingin \nmenjual atau \ntrade-in\n kereta lama\n \nanda.\n\n\nApa itu Susut Nilai Kereta?\n\n\nKadar susut nilai kereta merujuk pada perbezaan nilai asal semasa pembelian dan nilai akhir semasa penjualan kereta. Lazimnya, nilai kereta semakin menyusut bergantung pada penggunaan harian (\nwear and tear\n). Dalam erti kata lain, semakin kerap penggunaan kereta anda, semakin tinggi kadar susut nilai dan semakin rendah nilai semasa kereta anda. Penyusutan nilai sesebuah kenderaan adalah berbeza bergantung pada jenis model, jenama dan tahun pembuatan. Kebiasaannya, purata kadar susut nilai adalah sekitar 15 hingga 35 peratus pada tahun pertama dan seterusnya, dan boleh mencecah sehingga 50 peratus setelah memasuki tahun kelima dan ke atas.\n\n\n\n\nAnggaran Nilai Kereta Semasa\n\n\nJika hari ini anda membeli Perodua Myvi dengan harga RM55,300, anda mungkin akan kehilangan antara 40 hingga 50 peratus daripada nilai asal kereta jika anda menjualnya dalam tempoh lima tahun akan datang. Menurut pakar automotif, pemilihan kereta yang mempunyai nilai jualan semula atau \nresale value\n yang lebih tinggi adalah lebih baik (dan lebih menguntungkan) berbanding pemilihan kereta dengan teknologi cekap bahan api.\n\n\nSebagai contoh, kereta keluarga bersaiz sederhana yang dibeli tiga tahun lalu mungkin susut nilai atau kehilangan kira-kira RM12,559 (anggaran) daripada nilai asal pada hari ini. Namun begitu kos bahan bakar kereta (untuk tempoh tiga tahun berdasarkan pengiraan 12,000 batu setahun) mungkin menelan belanja lebih mahal berbanding kadar susut nilai ini.\n\n\nFaktor Mempengaruhi Kadar Susut Nilai Kereta\n\n\nBerikut merupakan beberapa faktor yang boleh mempengaruhi kadar susut nilai sesetengah model di pasaran:\n\n\n\n\nMileage\n atau Perbatuan\n \u2013 Semakin kerap kenderaan digunakan atau semakin tinggi bacaan \nmileage\n kereta, semakin tinggi kadar susut nilai kereta anda. Secara purata, anggaran perbatuan biasa adalah sekitar 10,000 hingga 12,ooo batu setahun;\n\n\nReputasi dan Kebolehpercayaan\n \u2013 Sesetengah kereta mempunyai reputasi tertentu yang menjadikannya popular dalam kalangan pembeli. Oleh sebab itu, kadar kebolehpercayaan terhadap sesuatu jenama atau model boleh mempengaruhi susut nilai kenderaan. Kereta dengan reputasi yang kurang baik (insiden panggil balik model) berpotensi untuk susut nilai dengan lebih cepat;\n\n\nPilihan Pengguna\n \u2013 Sama seperti trend fesyen, pilihan pengguna terhadap kereta juga berubah mengikut situasi dan keadaan. Jika dilihat, trend pengguna pada hari ini lebih tertumpu kepada penggunaan SUV seperti Proton X70, \nX50\n. Model kereta popular biasanya susut nilai dengan lebih rendah berbanding model kereta lain;\n\n\nBilangan Pemilik\n \u2013 Semakin ramai pemilik bertukar tangan, semakin rendah nilai semasa kereta anda;\n\n\nKeadaan Kereta\n \u2013 Kerosakan-kerosakan tertentu pada bahagian badan kenderaan, ruang dalaman dan luaran akan mengurangkan nilai semasa kereta;\n\n\nSejarah \nServis Kereta\n \u2013 Penyelenggaraan yang dilakukan mengikut jadual boleh meyakinkan pembeli bahawa kereta anda berada dalam jagaan yang baik. Anda disarankan untuk merekodkan jadual penyelenggaraan atau menyimpan resit perbelanjaan dalam buku manual penyelenggaraan yang disediakan;\n\n\nTempoh Waranti\n \u2013 Ada sesetengah pengeluar kereta menawarkan tempoh jaminan waranti antara lima hingga tujuh tahun. Tempoh waranti yang panjang secara tidak langsung boleh dijadikan bonus semasa \nmenjual kereta\n anda;\n\n\nDesirability\n atau Daya Penarik\n \u2013 Sesetengah model kereta menawarkan versi \nfacelift\n atau reka bentuk dinaik taraf setiap beberapa tahun. Semakin terkini model kereta anda, semakin baik nilai jualan semula di pasaran;\n\n\nSaiz\n \u2013 Kereta yang bersaiz lebih besar cenderung untuk susut nilai dengan lebih tinggi berbanding kereta bersaiz kecil kerana ia memerlukan kos penyelenggaraan (servis kereta, alat ganti) dan perbelanjaan (kos bahan api) yang lebih besar;\n\n\nEkonomi Bahan Api\n \u2013 Kebiasaannya, kereta dengan teknologi penjimatan bahan api biasanya ditawarkan pada harga yang lebih tinggi kerana ia lebih popular dalam kalangan pembeli \nkereta terpakai.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBerapa Anggaran Susut Nilai Kereta Anda?\n\n\nMeskipun terdapat banyak faktor yang mempengaruhi kadar susut nilai sesebuah kenderaan, kereta baharu secara amnya lebih cepat susut nilai berbanding kereta terpakai tanpa mengira model atau jenama kereta yang anda miliki.\n\n\n\u23f1\ufe0f Selepas Satu (1) Minit: Kereta baharu susut nilai antara 9 hingga 11 peratus semasa kereta dibawa keluar dari pusat jualan kereta. Jika kereta baharu anda bernilai sekitar RM60,000, ia adalah seperti anda membuang RM6,600 melalui tingkap kereta anda semasa memandu pulang kereta buat kali pertama.\n\n\n\u23f1\ufe0f Selepas Satu (1) Tahun: Berdasarkan statistik, kereta baharu mengalami penyusutan nilai terbesar dalam tempoh 12 bulan pertama pemilikan. Selepas setahun, kereta anda mungkin mengalami pengurangan sehingga 20% daripada harga pembelian.\n\n\n\u23f1\ufe0f Selepas Lima (5) Tahun: Kereta baharu biasanya susut nilai antara 15 hingga 25 peratus setiap tahun sehingga tahun kelima. Selepas lima tahun, kereta baharu akan kehilangan sekitar 60 peratus daripada nilai asalnya.\n\n\nJadual di bawah menunjukkan anggaran jadual susut nilai untuk kenderaan di Malaysia. Kami mengambil contoh harga jualan sebenar Perodua Myvi (RM55,300) untuk tujuan ilustrasi:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKereta Perodua Myvi 1.5L AV Baharu\n\n\nPeratusan Susut Nilai*\n\n\nAmaun Susut Nilai*\n\n\nSusut Nilai*\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHarga Sebelum Dibeli\n\n\n5%\n\n\nRM2,765\n\n\nRM52,535 95%\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6 Bulan Pertama\n\n\n5%\n\n\nRM5,530\n\n\nRM49,770\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6 Bulan \u2013 1 Tahun\n\n\n15%\n\n\nRM8,295\n\n\nRM47,005\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1 Tahun \u2013 2 Tahun\n\n\n20%\n\n\nRM11,060\n\n\nRM44,240\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2 Tahun \u2013 3 Tahun\n\n\n30%\n\n\nRM16,590\n\n\nRM38,710\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3 Tahun \u2013 4 Tahun\n\n\n40%\n\n\nRM22,120\n\n\nRM33,180\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4 Tahun \u2013 5 Tahun\n\n\n50%\n\n\nRM27,650\n\n\nRM27,650\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5 Tahun ke Atas\n\n\nDitentukan secara bersama antara pemilik dan \ninsurer\n\n\n\u2013\n\n\nDitentukan secara bersama antara pemilik dan \ninsurer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*Pengiraan susut nilai adalah anggaran semata-mata, tertakluk pada faktor-faktor semasa lain\n\n\nBerapa Purata Nilai Belian Kereta Anda di Carsome?\n\n\nMeskipun kebanyakan kereta baharu mengalami kadar susut nilai yang ketara, terdapat bebeberapa jenama dan model popular yang mengalami penyusutan nilai yang lebih rendah. Berdasarkan Carsome Insights, jenama-jenama popular seperti Perodua, Honda dan Toyota memiliki reputasi dan kebolehpercayaan yang tinggi dalam kalangan pengguna sekali gus mencatatkan kadar susut nilai yang lebih rendah.\n\n\n\n\nCarsome menyediakan anggaran harga belian tujuh (7) model kereta popular yang dijual kepada Carsome untuk panduan anda:\n\n\n1. Perodua Myvi\n\n\nPerodua Myvi mengungguli kedudukan teratas dari segi jualan untuk tahun 2020 (29,313 unit) diikuti oleh Axia dan Bezza dengan masing-masing mencatat jualan sebanyak 28,107 dan 25,416 unit kereta. Ia sekali gus menjadikan Myvi kekal sebagai model Perodua paling laris di Malaysia bagi tahun 2020. Selain itu, model Perodua ini juga turut mencatatkan permintaan yang tinggi dalam pasaran \nkereta terpakai\n. Lazimnya, permintaan yang tinggi dalam pasaran kereta terpakai adalah berdasarkan cerminan situasi semasa pasaran kereta baharu.\n\n\n\n\nPermintaan yang tinggi dalam pasaran kereta terpakai ini secara tidak langsung memastikan nilai jualan semula Perodua Myvi kekal tinggi. Berdasarkan data daripada \nplatform jual beli kereta terpakai\n, susut nilai untuk Perodua Myvi 1.5 AV yang berusia lima tahun adalah sebanyak 33.44 peratus atau satu pertiga daripada harga asal. Ini bermaksud, Perodua Myvi baharu yang dibeli pada harga RM56,518 (tidak termasuk insurans) pada tahun 2015 boleh dijual semula pada tahun 2019 dengan harga purata sebanyak RM37,618.\n\n\nMalah, ia merekodkan susut nilai yang lebih rendah jika dibandingkan dengan model-model lain dalam pasaran seperti Proton Iriz 1.6 Premium CVT (RM59,731 pada 2015). Untuk tempoh yang sama, Proton Iriz merekodkan susut nilai sekitar 49.31 peratus atau hampir separuh daripada harga asal (RM30,277.32 pada 2019).\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan\n: \n7 Model Kereta dengan \u2018Resale Value\u2019 Tinggi di Malaysia\u00a0\n\n\n2. Honda City\n\n\nHonda Malaysia pula mengekalkan kedudukan nombor satu dalam \nsegmen kereta bukan nasional\n di Malaysia untuk tempoh enam tahun berturut-turut. Model Honda City mencatatkan jualan tertinggi iaitu kira-kira 34 peratus daripada jumlah keseluruhan jualan. Model baharu ini yang tampil dengan pakej harga yang menarik termasuk teknologi canggih dan reka bentuk yang menawan menerima sambutan yang sangat mengalakkan dalam kalangan pembeli. Selain Perodua Myvi, model segmen B bukan nasional paling popular ini juga turut merekodkan kadar susut nilai yang rendah iaitu kurang daripada 50 peratus dalam tempoh lima tahun.\n\n\n\n\nMenurut data Carsome Insights, Honda City mencatatkan purata nilai jualan semula sebanyak 68 hingga 75 peratus berbanding harga kereta baharu.\u00a0Ini bermaksud, jualan semula kereta ini tidak akan merugikan anda sekiranya anda mengambil keputusan untuk \nmenjual atau trade-in kereta lama\n anda.\n\n\n3. Nissan Grand Livina\n\n\nModel kereta Nissan mencatatkan purata susut nilai sekitar 35 peratus dalam tempoh tiga tahun pertama pemilikan. Kadar susut nilai yang rendah ini sedikit-sebanyak dipengaruhi oleh faktor penggunaan bahan api yang boleh dikatakan agak rendah untuk kereta bersaiz besar sebegini. Berdasarkan tinjauan di platform jual beli kereta terpakai dalam talian, Carsome, model Grand Livina tahun 2015 boleh dibeli pada harga sekitar RM50,800 \u2013 susut nilai kira-kira 49 peratus berbanding nilai asal (RM99,800).\n\n\n\n\nNissan Grand Livina boleh boleh dikategorikan sebagai salah satu model MPV kompak terbaik yang dijual di Malaysia dengan ruang dalaman yang luas yang boleh memuatkan 7 orang dalam satu-satu masa sekali gus menjadikan perjalanan jarak jauh lebih tenang dan selesa.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan\n: \nBilakah Masa Terbaik Untuk Beli Atau Jual Kereta Terpakai?\n\n\n4. Toyota Vios\n\n\nToyota Vios juga boleh dikatakan antara model kereta paling banyak digunakan di jalan raya. Model sedan kompak ini memiliki pelbagai ciri serta kelebihan yang tersendiri setanding pesaingnya dari kategori dan kelas yang sama seperti Honda City, Nissan Almera dan banyak lagi. Menurut data daripada Carsome Insight, Toyota Vios mencatatkan purata anggaran susut nilai sekitar 35 peratus dalam tempoh tiga tahun pertama pemilikan. Untuk perbandingan, Vios (2016) dan City (2016) masing-masing mencatatkan purata nilai jualan semula sekitar 76% dan 75% berbanding harga asal untuk kereta berusia 3 tahun.\n\n\n\n\nMalah, kedua-dua model ini, Toyota Vios (2014) dan Honda City (2014), turut merekodkan purata nilai jualan semula untuk sekitar 68 peratus bagi kereta yang berusia 5 tahun. Nilai jualan semula yang tinggi ini secara tidak langsung didorong oleh faktor kepercayaan pengguna terhadap jenama ini dan aspek keselamatan yang ditawarkan oleh model-model ini.\n\n\n5. Proton Saga\n\n\nSelain itu, model kereta Proton juga turut mencatatkan kadar susut nilai sekitar 35 peratus untuk tiga tahun pertama pemilikan. Berdasarkan data daripada Carsome Insights, Proton Saga mengekalkan 71 peratus daripada nilai asal dalam tempoh tiga tahun, lebih baik berbanding Perodua Myvi yang hanya mengekalkan 65 peratus daripada nilai asal dalam tempoh yang sama. Namun begitu, Proton Saga hanya dapat mengekalkan kira-kira 47 peratus daripada nilai asal berbanding Perodua Myvi (53 peratus daripada nilai asal) selepas lima tahun.\n\n\n\n\nSituasi ini sedikit sebanyak dipengaruhi oleh faktor-faktor luaran lain seperti jaminan waranti (Saga menawarkan waranti lebih lama berbanding Myvi) dan ciri-ciri keselamatan (Saga BLM/FLX tidak dilengkapi kawalan kestabilan) yang ditawarkan oleh model-model sebelum ini. Namun begitu, seperti dinyatakan di atas, kadar susut nilai atau nilai jualan semula kereta boleh berubah bergantung pada jenis model (model terkini, ciri keselamatan dipertingkat dan sebagainya).\n\n\n6. Mercedes-Benz C-Class\n\n\nJenama mewah secara amnya memiliki \nresale value\n yang tinggi dan kadar susut nilai yang lebih rendah berbanding jenama-jenama lain. Di Malaysia, model sedan Mercedes-Benz memiliki nilai jualan semula yang lebih tinggi berbanding jenama mewah lain seperti BMW, Volvo atau Lexus. Tahap kemewahan sesebuah model kenderaan bukanlah faktor utama yang mempengaruhi nilai jualan semula. Namun begitu, ia merujuk kepada reputasi dan kepercayaan pengguna terhadap jenama mewah sekali gus meningkatkan permintaannya dalam pasaran.\n\n\nKepercayaan ini secara tidak langsung menjadikannya popular bukan sahaja dalam pasaran kereta baharu, malah pasaran kereta terpakai. Jenama Mercedes-Benz pernah menerima Anugerah Kereta Terpakai Terbaik yang dianjurkan oleh sebuah majalah dan penerbitan automotif di UK. Model-model Mercedes-Benz mencatatkan purata susut nilai sekitar 40 peratus dalam tempoh 3 tahun pertama pemilikan.\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, kadar susut nilai juga dipengaruhi oleh faktor-faktor lain seperti teknologi, keselesaan, kecekapan enjin, kos pemilikan yang rendah serta kualiti pemanduan. Untuk rekod, Mercedes-Benz C-Class merupakan antara model keluaran jenama ini yang paling laris di Malaysia.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan\n: \nApakah Jenama dan Model Kereta Paling Popular di Malaysia?\n\n\n7. BMW 3 Series\n\n\nSelain Mercedes-Benz, BMW juga cukup sinonim sebagai pengeluar kereta mewah berjenama dan eksklusif. Kualiti pemanduan, ciri keselamatan dan elemen kemewahan yang ditampilkan secara tidak langsung mengalakkan permintaan yang tinggi terutamanya dalam pasaran kereta terpakai. Secara purata, model-model kereta BMW mencatatkan anggaran susut nilai sekitar 35 peratus dalam tempoh tiga tahun pertama pemilikan.\n\n\n\n\nBagi model BMW 3 Series pula, model ini mencatatkan anggaran purata susut nilai sehingga 40 peratus dalam tempoh yang sama. Kadar susut nilai yang rendah ini secara tidak langsung dipengaruhi oleh faktor jenama, kualiti, keselesaan dan aspek keselamatan yang ditawarkan.\n\n\nTip Meminimumkan Kadar Susut Nilai\n\n\nMalangnya, kadar susut nilai kereta tidak dapat dielakkan. Namun begitu, terdapat beberapa langkah yang boleh anda lakukan untuk meminimumkan dan melambatkan kadar susut nilai. Carsome menyenaraikan tips berikut untuk panduan anda:\n\n\n\n\nPastikan bacaan \nmileage\n atau kadar perbatuan rendah;\n\n\nBeri tumpuan terhadap aspek penjagaan \u2013 baiki dengan segera jika terdapat sebarang kerosakan;\n\n\nBeli kereta terpakai\n untuk mengelakkan kadar susut nilai yang ketara;\n\n\nElakkan pengubahsuaian yang keterlaluan \u2013\n spoiler\n, tayar yang lebih besar, \nflared wheel arches\n atau sebagainya;\n\n\nJual kereta\n \npada masa yang sesuai, sebelum pihak pengeluar memperkenalkan model penggantian;\n\n\nPilih \nwarna kereta yang popular \n\u2013 ada sesetengah warna mungkin menarik di mata anda, tetapi boleh membuatkan pihak pembeli berfikir banyak kali;\n\n\nLakukan survei sebelum membeli kereta baharu \u2013 kenal pasti kadar susut nilai untuk model serupa sebelum ini daripada pengeluar yang sama;\n\n\nBuat pilihan yang terbaik semasa membeli kereta \u2013 pemilihan cat berwarna metalik dan elemen kulit adalah terbaik untuk kereta eksekutif;\n\n\nSelenggara kereta secara berkala \u2013 sejarah penyelenggaraan yang mengikut jadual memberi ketenangan fikiran kepada bakal pembeli.\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda sedang mempertimbangkan untuk \nmenjual mana-mana model kereta ini\n \ndan berminat untuk mendapatkan model\n\u00a0\nkereta terpakai\n, layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

SUVs Have a Larger Space & Are More Practical\n\n\nThe average car buyers in Malaysia prefer spacious cars. Most mid-size and compact SUVs have more cargo volume and flexibility than most sedans on the market.\n\n\n\n\nBecause of that, buyers tend to go for the type of vehicle that has what they need, even if they don\u2019t really need it.\n\n\n2. Most SUV Owners Are Seniors\n\n\nIn Malaysia and most foreign countries, most SUV owners consist of older people aged between 40 to 60 years old. Most sedans and hatchbacks these days are quite low (example: \nHonda Civic\n) so it\u2019s difficult to get in and out if you\u2019re old. In addition, it also makes it difficult for children to get in and out of the car seat.\n\n\n\n\nThat\u2019s why many parents tend to choose SUVs. The longer doors and higher seats as well as roof make for better access to the rear seats, making life easier for them.\n\n\n3. Higher Driving Position\n\n\nSUV drivers like the high driving position because it has all-round visibility, making it easier to drive around traffic or avoid other obstacles on or off the road. In fact, the high driving position also makes you feel safer.\n\n\n\n\n4. Stylish Design\n\n\nStyle is very important for most individuals, especially in the social media age where many are actively showing off their \u2018stylishness\u2019. Furthermore, most Malaysians are easily influenced by image or brand factors. If you drive an MPV, you definitely have a soccer mom or soccer dad vibe, but this is not the case if you drive an SUV, since it looks more rugged and stylish.\n\n\n\n\nStatistics from the \nMalaysian Automotive Association in 2019\n show that SUVs accounted for almost 25% of the total number of private vehicles of 270,875 units recorded during the period. The SUV market share for the first six months of 2018 was only 14%.\n\n\nMPV sales declined by 32.6% or 10,059 units to 20,757 vehicles in the January-June period compared to 30,816 in the same period in 2018. MPVs only accounted for 7.7% of the passenger car market for the first half of 2019 (1H19), a significant decline compared to their 11.8% market share.\n\n\n5. SUV Prices Are More Competitive\n\n\nThe old \u2018one-size-fits-some\u2019 approach of SUVs has been replaced by more specific markets by car manufacturers. Now, if you want an SUV or a crossover, there are plenty of segments and spec options to fit almost any budget you have. If brand new SUVs are too pricey for you, there are also plenty of used SUV options on the market.\n\n\n\n\nConclusion\n\n\nNowadays, vehicle manufacturers design SUVs by taking some of the features and equipment from hatchbacks, sedans, wagons, and off-road vehicles to create an SUV with an attractive package and style.\n\n\nThis trend is not only going on in Malaysia, but all over the world. The question is, how long will this trend last before buyers hop on to another trend? Let\u2019s wait and see.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for quality pre-owned SUVs that have been inspected thoroughly and refurbished to ensure safety beyond standards, complete comfort, and a refurbished aesthetics, check out CARSOME Certified SUVs \nhere\n.\n\n\nThis article is written based on the \u201c\n5 Sebab Kenapa SUV atau Crossover Lebih Baik Dari Sedan untuk Rakyat Malaysia!\n\u201d article that was published at wapcar.my.\n\n", "Haziq Asyraf\nA self-proclaimed foodie and gamer whose passion for food and games has recently extended to cars.", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

The two biggest selling points of \nSUVs\n, their larger size and tall ride height make them look impressive and give you a commanding view of the road, but are they worth it?\n\n\nIf you\u2019ve been scratching your head wondering \u201cShould I buy a sedan or SUV?\u201d, here are some reasons why an SUV might not be the right vehicle for you.\n\n\n1. SUVs Cost More than Sedans\n\n\nSUVs generally cost more than sedans, so it\u2019s important to take that into consideration, especially if you\u2019re only going to use one in the city and on highways. SUVs are heavier than other cars and require a stronger frame, more powerful engine, transmission, and brakes, while some even have all-wheel drive (AWD). All these add to the cost of an SUV. So if you don\u2019t plan on going off-road or hauling large items, why not just get a sedan or \nhatchback\n?\n\n\n2. They Can Be Too Tall\n\n\nMany people get an SUV for its high ground clearance and commanding ride height. However, its height can be both an SUV\u2019s pro and con. The taller ride height gives you a better view of the road and makes it easier to drive through small floods.\n\n\nThat being said, entering and exiting a tall SUV can be a challenge, especially for small children and the elderly. This might not seem like a big concern but it can be more inconvenient than you\u2019d expect. That being said, the step-in height differs between SUVs so make sure to test them out before purchasing one. In terms of ride quality, the tall ride height means that SUVs are inherently less stable than sedans and hatchbacks that have a low center of gravity.\n\n\nRead More:\n \n5 Reasons Why SUVs or Crossovers are Better than Sedans\n\n\n\n\n3. Higher Ownership & Spare Parts Cost\n\n\nAs SUVs are heavier and equipped with more powerful engines than sedans, they tend to have a higher fuel consumption. An SUV\u2019s parts from the transmission to the suspension all need to handle a higher load due to the vehicle\u2019s weight.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat this means is that you\u2019d need to spend more on spare parts too, and that includes the tires. For instance, an 18-inch performance-oriented Bridgestone Potenza Sport tire for the Proton X50 could cost around RM1,000 per tire depending on its exact specifications. That\u2019s RM4,000 just to replace your tires. Many SUVs, especially larger ones, have large engines which lead to a higher road tax in Malaysia. That being said, more and more vehicles including SUVs are getting smaller turbocharged engines that have a cheaper road tax.\n\n\n4. They Don\u2019t Drive as Well as Sedans\n\n\nThe tall ride height of an SUV gives it a higher center of gravity which translates into more body roll than a sedan. You can feel this increased body roll when you take a turn at a junction or a corner, and even more so when you\u2019re driving fast. So if you\u2019re looking for an agile car that\u2019s fun to carve corners with, you\u2019ll be better off in a sedan or a hatchback.\n\n\nWhile this increased body roll doesn\u2019t really matter if you\u2019re driving at a sensible speed around town, many people get a false sense of security and stability when driving a tall SUV that leads them to take corners and cut through traffic like they would in a smaller car. This can also lead to more accidents on the road.\n\n\nRead More:\n Crossover vs SUV: Are There Actually Any Differences Between the Two?\n\n\n\n\nThe Subaru Forester has AWD to tackle rough terrain\n\n\n5. Big & Heavy but without 4WD\n\n\nMany buyers choose an \nSUV\n because they think it can fit more people and items. However, they might fail to consider their actual needs and end up driving a vehicle that\u2019s larger than they require. Although an SUV\u2019s cabin is usually more spacious, it can be difficult to maneuver in the city especially when you have to pick up the kids from school or when driving in a shopping mall parking lot.\n\n\nNot only that, most modern SUVs are designed with a raised height to look like a rugged go-anywhere, do-anything vehicle but in reality are city cars that are built for smooth, paved roads. Take compact SUVs like the Hyundai Kona. It\u2019s a small SUV with 374 liters of luggage space and a cabin space comparable to a hatchback, yet it weighs more and costs more to maintain. Most SUVs also only have \nfront-wheel drive (FWD)\n instead of four-wheel drive (4WD) rendering them incapable of going off-road.\n\n\n6. They Have Stiffer Suspension\n\n\nSUVs were originally designed to go off-road and handle rough terrain, which requires them to have heavy-duty suspension. Although modern SUVs are designed for use on paved roads, they still have slightly stiffer suspension than cars as the suspension needs to handle all that extra weight besides minimizing body roll. It also allows the SUV to do some light off-roading such as driving better on gravel roads.\n\n\nThis stiffer suspension often means an SUV is not as comfortable as a sedan. While you might think that having a softer suspension will solve the issue, that will in turn cause the SUV to have more body roll and bounce more on bumpy and wavy roads. As an SUV needs stiffer suspension to compensate for its weight and poorer handling, it makes sense to go for a sedan if you want proper comfort in your car.\n\n\n7. They Are Less Aerodynamic\n\n\nLooks are subjective but there\u2019s no denying that a sedan looks sleeker than an SUV. Its sleeker silhouette may make it look better to some but it definitely means that sedans are more aerodynamic than SUVs.This means that air can move more smoothly over a sedan.\u00a0\n\n\nCouple a sedan\u2019s lower center of gravity with its superior aerodynamics and you have a vehicle that\u2019s more stable at high speed and has better fuel economy. Although the design of modern SUVs has improved over the years, it can\u2019t compete with the natural aerodynamics of a sedan.\n\n\n\n\nHere\u2019s a summary of the pros and cons of an SUV to help you decide if it\u2019s the right vehicle for you.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSUV Traits\n\n\nPros\n\n\nCons\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTall ride height\n\n\nProvides a high ground clearance and a better view of the road\n\n\nA high center of gravity makes the SUV less stable when turning or cornering at high speeds\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice and features\n\n\nMost SUVs have a higher towing capacity, bigger wheels, and more powerful engines\n\n\nGenerally cost more to purchase than sedans\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSize\n\n\nThey have a larger size giving them a more premium look and feel\n\n\nThey can be too big for the city and are less aerodynamic\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSuspension\n\n\nTougher chassis and suspension\n\n\nLess comfortable ride due to the stiffer suspension\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOwnership and maintenance\n\n\nThe fuel economy has improved a lot, almost on par with sedans\n\n\nThey tend to have higher road tax, maintenance, and spare parts cost\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlthough we\u2019ve mainly highlighted the cons of owning an SUV, it definitely has its pros as well.

Mesti banyak kan? Kadang-kadang memandu tu tak jauh pun tapi sepanjang pemanduan tu, macam-macam perangai pemandu yang kita boleh jumpa atas jalan. Ada kalanya, boleh membuatkan kita terfikir, \u201cMacam manalah pemandu ni boleh dapat lesen memandu?\u201d\n\n\nUntuk tahu dengan lebih lanjut, rasanya lebih baik kalau ditanya kepada pengguna jalan raya sendiri, apakah perangai dan tabiat pemandu yang mereka cukup benci. Jadi, satu tinjauan telah dibuat dalam kalangan kakitangan CARSOME (CARSOMErs). Kita nak tengok, apa perangai dan tabiat pemandu Malaysia yang mereka paling benci.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTinjauan ini melibatkan lebih 200 orang CARSOMErs daripada seluruh Malaysia \u2013 daripada pekerja di Pusat Pengalaman dan Pusat Pemeriksaan CARSOME hinggalah ke eksekutif, pengurus, dan pengurusan tertinggi CARSOME.\u00a0\n\n\nTinjauan ini dibuat di ruang maya. Beberapa tabiat dan perangai telah disenaraikan dalam satu hantaran tinjauan, dan para CARSOMErs akan mengundi perangai pemandu Malaysia yang mana mereka benci dan tak suka.\u00a0\n\n\nIni tabiat pemandu Malaysia yang diberikan dalam tinjauan yang dijawab oleh CARSOMErs:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTak pasang isyarat sebelum membelok atau tukar laluan\n\n\nMemandu perlahan di lorong kanan\n\n\nTak tambah nilai Touch n\u2019 Go & sebabkan sesak di pintu tol\n\n\nParkir berganda & tak tinggalkan nombor\n\n\nPotong barisan ketika masuk susur keluar atau masuk simpang\n\n\nBuang sampah keluar kereta\n\n\nMemandu melulu\n\n\nGuna telefon semasa memandu\n\n\nPasang lampu kecemasan sesuka hati\n\n\nMemandu di lorong yang salah di bulatan jalan\n\n\nAmbil masa untuk bergerak lepas lampu isyarat bertukar hijau\n\n\nTak bagi laluan untuk memotong\n\n\nTak reti guna lampu kabus\n\n\n\n\nJadi apa keputusan tinjauan ini? Ini adalah apa yang kami boleh simpulkan daripada tinjauan yang dibuat.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTabiat\n\n\nUndian\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTak pasang isyarat sebelum membelok atau tukar laluan\n\n\n122\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMemandu perlahan di lorong kanan\n\n\n81\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTak tambah nilai Touch n\u2019 Go & sebabkan kesesakan di get tol\n\n\n61\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParkir berganda & tak tinggalkan nombor\n\n\n60\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPotong barisan ketika masuk susur keluar atau masuk simpang\n\n\n54\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuang sampah keluar kereta\n\n\n46\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMemandu melulu\n\n\n32\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGuna telefon semasa memandu\n\n\n31\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPasang lampu kecemasan sesuka hati\n\n\n22\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMemandu di lorong yang salah di bulatan jalan\n\n\n15\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmbil masa untuk bergerak lepas lampu isyarat bertukar hijau\n\n\n15\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTak bagi laluan untuk memotong\n\n\n11\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTak reti guna lampu kabus\n\n\n6\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUntuk memudahkan anda nampak peratusannya, kami persembahkan dalam bentuk graf yang lebih mudah dibaca seperti ini:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDaripada tiga belas tabiat dan perangai yang disenaraikan, tak pasang lampu isyarat (\nsignal\n) merupakan tabiat yang paling dibenci dan tak disukai oleh CARSOMErs. Diikuti memandu perlahan di lorong kanan dan tak tambah nilai Touch n\u2019 Go dan menyebabkan kesesakan di pintu tol. Tak reti menggunakan lampu kabus merupakan tabiat yang mendapat paling sedikit undian daripada para CARSOMErs.\u00a0\n\n\nPentingnya Lampu Signal\u00a0\n\n\nDalam kereta anda ada satu alat ajaib yang boleh menyelamatkan nyawa dan mengelakkan orang benci kepada anda. Alat apa itu? Itulah lampu isyarat kereta atau lampu \nsignal. \nLampu isyarat kereta ini disertakan sekali dengan kereta anda, tak perlu beli asing.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda lupa macam mana rupanya dalam kereta anda, anda boleh tengok di bawah:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nLampu isyarat kereta bertujuan memberi isyarat awal kepada pengguna jalan raya yang lain tentang arah yang anda akan tukar. Sama ada ke kiri atau kanan. Tapi ramai terlupa atau \u2018buat-buat lupa\u2019 tak pasang lampu ini sebelum menukar laluan kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nMemasang lampu isyarat kereta boleh mengurangkan kemalangan kerana pemandu sekeliling boleh memperlahankan kenderaan dan memberikan laluan kepada anda sebelum menukar laluan. Jadi, manfaatkan lampu isyarat kereta yang dah sudah siap dipasang semasa anda membeli kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\nJangan Silap Lorong Semasa Memandu\u00a0\n\n\nSemasa di sekolah memandu, cikgu memandu mesti dah ajar lorong-lorong yang ada di lebuh raya dan jalan raya. Ada tiga lorong semuanya. Lorong kiri, lorong tengah, dan lorong kanan. Lorong paling kiri ialah lorong perlahan yang kebiasaannya untuk kenderaan berat. Lorong tengah pula ialah lorong laju dan lorong paling kanan pula lorong untuk memotong.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTetapi ada segelintir pengguna jalan raya terutama pemandu kereta dan penunggang motosikal yang suka memandu perlahan di lorong paling kanan. Tabiat ini sangat berbahaya kerana di lorong paling kananlah pemandu kenderaan akan memecut kenderaan mereka selaju mungkin.\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, jangan tersilap dan keliru. Pastikan anda berada di lorong yang betul sesuai dengan cara pemanduan anda. Kalau nak santai-santai, silalah ke lorong yang paling kiri. Lorong paling kanan pula adalah lorong memotong untuk mereka yang memandu laju.\u00a0\n\n\nJangan Cari Maut Semasa Memandu!\u00a0\n\n\nSelain daripada tabiat yang mendapat undian tertinggi, tabiat-tabiat lain yang disenaraikan pun sepatutnya tidak dibuat langsung oleh semua pemandu. Tak kisahlah di mana anda memandu. Di lebuh raya utama ataupun di jalan kampung.\u00a0\n\n\nTabiat ini sekalipun nampak kecil dan tak berbahaya, tetapi ia boleh menjadi punca kemalangan dan juga kecelakaan lain.\u00a0\n\n\nMembuang Sampah Keluar Kenderaan\n\n\nKita ambil contoh membuang sampah daripada kenderaan. Anda kena ingat, namanya pun \u2018JALAN RAYA\u2019 dan bukannya \u2018TONG SAMPAH\u2019. Jadi, jangan sesuka hati membuang sampah daripada kenderaan anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: The Star\n\n\nSampah yang dibuang mungkin boleh terkena pada penunggang motosikal. Penunggang motosikal yang jatuh di tengah jalan raya yang sibuk adalah resipi yang paling sempurna untuk kemalangan dengan kecederaan dan kerosakan kenderaan yang banyak.\u00a0\n\n\nMemotong Barisan\u00a0\n\n\nAntara dosa besar yang dibuat oleh sebahagia pemandu Malaysia adalah memotong barisan ketika memasuki susur atau di lampu isyarat. Akan ada seorang dua pemandu yang sesuka hati memotong barisan.\u00a0\n\n\nBayangkan seandainya ada ambulans atau kenderaan penguat kuasa yang perlu melalui jalan dan ada kenderaan yang menghalang laluan kerana ia ingin memotong barisan. Ia merupakan antara bencana terburuk!\u00a0\n\n\nMemandu Melulu\u00a0\n\n\nKita semua nak cepat. Sampaikan ada yang lupakan undang-undang jalan raya dan terus memandu melulu. Tanpa disedari pemanduan melulu itu boleh meragut nyawa. Hanya kerana ingin cepat, ada nyawa yang terpaksa dikorbankan.\u00a0\n\n\nDah terlalu banyak berita kemalangan yang terjadi akibat pemandu kenderaan secara melulu. \nSeperti kes kemalangan di yang melibatkan 11 kenderaan kerana pemanduan melulu di Johor Bahru\n.\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKerana itulah parlimen telah meluluskan \nrang undang-undang\n baharu yang memberikan hukuman yang lebih berat kepada pemandu yang memandu secara berbahaya ini.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nParkir Berganda\u00a0\n\n\nAntara yang paling menyakitkan hati sebagai seorang pengguna jalan raya di Malaysia ialah parkir berganda atau \u2018double parking\u2019. Kadang-kadang keadaan ini membuat kita terfikir, di manakah otak pemandu yang parkir berganda ini?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDahlah parkir berganda, tak tinggalkan nombor telefon di papan pemuka lagi. Kita pun jadi berganda-ganda marahnya. Selain daripada boleh mengakibatkan kesesakan pada jalan, ia juga menyusahkan orang jika kereta yang diparkir dengan betul itu ingin keluar.\u00a0\n\n\nLagi teruk? Jika ada kecemasan tetapi kereta yang diparkir berganda itu tak dapat dihubungi! Jangan buat begini. Jauhi parkir berganda!\u00a0\n\n\nTak Tambah Nilai Touch n\u2019 Go Dan Sebabkan Kesesakan Di Pintu Tol\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk perjalanan yang memerlukan anda untuk melalui tol, sebaiknya anda periksa dahulu baki kad Touch n\u2019 Go sebelum memulakan perjalanan. Kalau dah sampai di pintu tol tapi tiba-tiba baki dalam kad tak mencukupi, itu akan jadi masalah besar!\u00a0\n\n\nAda yang akan cuba untuk mengundur kembali dan pandu terus ke laluan tambah nilai. Maka, di sinilah masalah boleh berlaku. Anda sedang mengundur ke jalan yang sibuk dan penuh dengan kenderaan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAda macam-macam benda boleh terjadi \u2013- menghalang laluan, kesesakan dalam kesesakan, dan kemalangan kalau keadaan dah jadi teruk. Oleh itu, periksa \nduludullu\n baki Touch n\u2019 Go sebelum memulakan apa-apa perjalanan.\u00a0\n\n\nPunca Kemalangan Di Malaysia Adalah\u2026\u00a0\n\n\nKebanyakan kemalangan maut yang berlaku di Malaysia adalah disebabkan kecuaian pemandu di atas jalan raya. Tak kisahlah secanggih mana pun kereta yang digunakan atau sebagus mana jalan raya yang dibina, kesilapan manusia adalah sesuatu yang tidak boleh diubah walaupun dengan teknologi yang paling canggih sekalipun.\u00a0\n\n\nSebenarnya apa saja jenis kecuaian yang melanggar peraturan boleh menyebabkan kemalangan. Bukan akan melibatkan anda sahaja tetapi juga pengguna jalan raya lain yang berada di sekitar kenderaan anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAnda kena ingat, anda sedang berkongsi jalan raya dengan ratusan dan ribuan lagi pengguna jalan raya yang lain. Bagaimana cara anda memandu boleh memberi kesan kepada diri anda dan juga pengguna jalan raya yang lain.\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, jangan degil dan patuhilah undang-undang jalan raya. Ingatlah orang tersayang.\n\n", "Amarnath", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Masyarakat di Malaysia hidup dengan mengamalkan kehidupan bermasyarakat yang harmoni berasaskan persefahaman, tolak ansur dan hormat-menghormati. Apabila ditanyakan tentang keunikan Malaysia, rata-rata mungkin berpendapat makanan di Malaysia menggambarkan Malaysia secara tepat. Setiap kaum dan negeri di Malaysia mempunyai makanan tradisi popular yang tersendiri. Namun sebenarnya, selain makanan, terdapat perkara lain yang sangat unik dan menarik yang melambangkan identiti Malaysia \u2013 tabiat pemandu Malaysia di jalan raya!\n\n\n\n\nTabiat Unik Rakyat Malaysia Semasa Memandu di Jalan Raya\n\n\nSecara amnya, rakyat Malaysia kebanyakannya mengamalkan sikap baik, beradab, penuh sopan santun dan berbudi bahasa. Senyuman dan ucapan seperti \u201cTolong\u201d, \u201cTerima kasih\u201d dan sebagainya tidak lekang daripada bibir dalam kehidupan seharian. Namun begitu, sikap dan budaya ketimuran ini tidak lagi dirasakan atau ditolak ke tepi terutamanya semasa memandu di jalan raya sehinggakan ada segelintir masyarakat yang berpendapat \u201cRakyat Malaysia memang bersopan-santun, tapi tidak di jalan raya\u201d. Betul ke? Sempena sambutan Hari Kemerdekaan atau Hari Kebangsaan Malaysia yang ke-64, Carsome kongsikan 8 tabiat unik pemandu kereta di Malaysia.\n\n\n1. Dah Lah \nDouble Park\n, Tak Letak Nombor Pulak Tu\n\n\nSituasi \ndouble park\n ini merupakan situasi yang biasa berlaku di Malaysia lebih-lebih lagi di kawasan tumpuan ramai seperti restoran \nfamous\n dan sebagainya. Anda akan mendapati banyak kereta diletakkan di bahu kiri dan kanan jalan sehingga menimbulkan kesesakan. Malah lebih menjengkelkan, sudahlah\n double park \nnombor telefon pula tidak ditinggalkan sehinggakan terpaksa membazirkan masa menunggu pemilik kenderaan selesai urusan.\n\n\nMalah, ada juga sesetengah pemandu kenderaan yang mengambil kesempatan dan menyalahgunakan tempat letak kereta OKU dan kawasan laluan pejalan kaki. Situasi sebegini bukanlah situasi yang asing. Anda sendiri juga mungkin pernah melihat sendiri gelagat sesetengah pemilik kenderaan yang pentingkan diri seperti ini. Ini belum lagi termasuk sesetengah pemandu yang meletakkan kereta secara senget sehinggakan dua kotak \nparking\n yang boleh memuatkan dua buah kereta hanya untuk keretanya seorang. Macam-macam ragam!\n\n\n2. Kemalangan \nLane\n Kiri, Kenapa \nLane\n Kanan yang Jammed?\n\n\nIni merupakan tabiat pelik yang sering dilakukan oleh rakyat Malaysia semasa memandu di jalan raya. Sikap terlebih peduli,\n busy body\n dan makcik bawang sesetengah pengguna di Malaysia menyebabkan kesesakan jalan raya berlaku. Di Malaysia, salah satu penyebab utama kesesakan jalan raya bukanlah kemalangan, tetapi disebabkan oleh pengguna lain yang ingin melihat kemalangan tersebut. Kebanyakan pemandu kereta di Malaysia gemar memperlahankan kenderaan semata-mata untuk menyaksikan kejadian kemalangan tersebut.\n\n\nLebih menghairankan, kemalangan berlaku di laluan kanan, tetapi ketiga-tiga lorong di laluan kiri yang sesak teruk. Malah yang lebih memburukkan keadaan, ada sesetengah pemandu yang sanggup memberhentikan kenderaan di bahu jalan semata-mata untuk melihat sendiri kemalangan yang berlaku dari jarak yang lebih dekat.\n\n\n3. Guna Lorong Kanan, Tapi Pandu Perlahan\n\n\nMemandu dengan perlahan di lorong laju bukan sahaja boleh membahayakan pengguna lain, malah boleh menyebabkan kesesakan dan meningkatkan\n risiko kemalangan\n jalan raya. Ini kerana, kemalangan boleh berlaku sekiranya kenderaan yang memandu laju di lorong kanan terpaksa menekan brek secara mengejut ketika menghampiri kenderaan yang dipandu perlahan. \u201cBiar lambat asal selamat\u201d \u2013 anda mungkin pernah mendengar peribahasa ini, namun dalam kes ini memandu lambat di lorong paling kanan bukanlah suatu tindakan yang bijak. Anda disarankan untuk bertukar ke lorong kiri jika anda ingin pandu perlahan bagi memberi laluan kepada kenderaan lain.\n\n\nLorong kanan dikhususkan untuk memotong dan pemanduan laju, patuhi papan tanda \u201cIkut Kiri Jika Tidak Memotong\u201d. Sikap tidak prihatin dengan memandu perlahan di lorong kanan bukan sahaja menyumbang kepada kesesakan, malah boleh membangkitkan kemarahan dan jelingan tajam pemandu lain terutamanya pada waktu puncak. Selain itu, ada juga sesetengah pemandu yang gemar memotong di lorong kecemasan terutamanya semasa kesesakan lalu lintas. Perbuatan sebegini bukan sahaja salah di sisi undang-undang, malah ia juga boleh membahayakan nyawa orang lain terutamanya penunggang motosikal. Lebih mengundang kemarahan, sudahlah memotong di laluan kecemasan, nak masuk lorong pun tak gunakan signal!\n\n\n4. Tak Guna Signal Kereta, Tapi Guna Niat\n\n\nSecara amnya, signal kereta digunakan untuk memberi amaran kepada pemandu lain bahawa anda ingin membelok, memotong atau menukar lorong. Meskipun begitu, kebanyakan pemandu di Malaysia jarang menggunakan signal dan beranggapan bahawa pemandu lain boleh membaca niat mereka untuk membelok.\u00a0Anda mungkin pernah berdepan situasi menunggu kenderaan yang datang dari arah kanan untuk melepasi anda terlebih dahulu sebelum keluar simpang. Namun secara tiba-tiba, kenderaan tersebut memasuki simpang tanpa memberikan sebarang signal.\n\n\nBagi anda yang mungkin pernah melalui situasi sebegini, tiada perkataan yang boleh menggambarkan kemarahan dan kegeraman pada ketika itu. Perbuatan sebegini\u00a0bukan sahaja membuang masa pemandu lain, malah dalam kes tertentu ia boleh mengundang bahaya dan mengakibatkan kemalangan.\n\n\n\n\n5. Lampu Isyarat Baru Tukar Hijau, Orang Belakang Dah Hon\n\n\nKebanyakan daripada anda mungkin pernah berdepan dengan situasi pemandu yang kurang sabar dan gemar \u201cmencucuk\u201d daripada belakang. Kesabaran anda mungkin teruji sekiranya anda berdepan dengan pemandu sebegini. Meskipun anda ingin cepat sampai ke lokasi, sentiasa amalkan pemanduan yang selamat dan bertimbang rasa sepanjang pemanduan. Perbuatan \u201cmencucuk\u201d atau mengekori kenderaan lain terlalu rapat bukan sahaja boleh membahayakan nyawa anda, ia juga boleh menyebabkan berlakunya pergaduhan atau pertelingkahan sekiranya kemalangan.\n\n\nSelain \u201cmencucuk\u201d kereta, antara perangai unik lain pemandu kereta di Malaysia ialah menekan hon setelah satu saat \ntraffic light\n bertukar hijau. Anda mungkin pernah berdepan dengan situasi sebegini dan tidak dinafikan ia sudah seperti menjadi tabiat pemandu di Malaysia terutamanya di kawasan bandar-bandar besar. Ramai yang berpendapat orang Malaysia tidak penyabar, mungkin ini salah satu buktinya?\n\n\n6. Ada \nRoadblock\n? \nHighbeam\n Lampu\n\n\nSecara amnya, \nlampu depan kereta\n atau lampu tinggi digunakan untuk meningkatkan jarak penglihatan terutamanya semasa pemanduan pada waktu malam atau semasa cuaca buruk. Namun begitu, lampu tinggi juga digunakan sebagai \u201ckod rahsia\u201d dalam kalangan pemilik kereta semasa berada di jalan raya. Oleh sebab masyarakat Malaysia terkenal dengan keprihatinan yang tinggi, lampu tinggi akan dinaikkan untuk memberi amaran kepada pemandu lain. Ia biasanya digunakan untuk memaklumkan pemandu di laluan bertentangan bahawa terdapat \nspeed trap\n atau\n roadblock\n di hadapan.\n\n\nMeskipun begitu, anda tidak digalakkan untuk berbuat sedemikian. Ini kerana, perbuatan menaikkan lampu tinggi untuk memberi amaran kepada pengguna lain tentang\n speed trap\n atau \nroadblock\n adalah salah di sisi undang-undang. Anda boleh dikenakan tindakan sekiranya didapati bersalah. Jangan kerana nak tolong orang, diri sendiri pula yang dikenakan saman.\n\n\n7. Selain Keselamatan, \nSteering Lock\n Ada Fungsi Lain\n\n\nSteering lock\n atau kunci stereng merujuk pada rod logam berat yang digunakan untuk mengunci stereng. Ia merupakan perlindungan tambahan yang digunakan untuk mengelakkan stereng daripada bergerak sekali gus mengurangkan risiko kecurian. Secara amnya, terdapat banyak pilihan\n steering lock\n yang dijual di pasaran. \nSteering lock\n seperti bat besbol merupakan salah satu jenis kunci stereng yang biasa digunakan oleh kebanyakan pemilik kenderaan di Malaysia.\n\n\nSelain tujuan keselamatan, rakyat Malaysia juga menggunakan \nsteering lock\n sebagai alat untuk mempertahankan diri sekiranya berlaku \nroad rage\n atau buli jalanan. Baru-baru ini, tular sebuah video yang memaparkan seorang wanita menghentak sebuah kereta \nToyota Camry\n dengan \nsteering lock\n selepas pemandu Toyota terbabit dikatakan melanggar kereta \nVolvo\n miliknya dan menolak bapanya. Meskipun begitu, anda disarankan untuk sentiasa bersabar, bertimbang rasa dan tidak menggunakan kekerasan semasa di jalan raya untuk mengelakkan situasi menjadi lebih buruk.\n\n\n8. Hanya di Malaysia: \nThe Power of Hand\n\n\nJika anda masih ingat semasa ingin mendapatkan \nlesen memandu\n, anda diajar untuk menggunakan tangan secara manual bagi menandakan isyarat berhenti, ke kiri atau kanan dan bertukar lorong sekiranya signal kereta tidak berfungsi. Namun di Malaysia, isyarat tangan juga digunakan untuk mengucapkan terima kasih kepada pemandu lain sekiranya mereka memberi keutamaan laluan kepada kenderaan anda terutamanya semasa trafik sesak. Malah lebih menarik, isyarat tangan juga turut digunakan oleh pejalan kaki. Isyarat tangan akan dinaikkan untuk memberi isyarat kepada pemandu kereta untuk memperlahankan kenderaan bagi memberi laluan kepada mereka untuk melintas. Jangan main-main dengan \nthe power of hand\n ya!\n\n\n\n\nSentiasa aplikasikan tips pemanduan yang selamat dan amalkan sikap tolerasi terutamanya semasa berada di jalan raya. Tabiat pemanduan sebegini meskipun perlu dielakkan, ia secara tidak langsung mewarnai kehidupan masyarakat di Malaysia hari ini.

Introduced at the BMW M Track Experience 2018 at the Sepang International Circuit, this new M5 already has a few honours \u2013 \u2018World Performance Car 2018\u2019 at the 2018 New York International Motor Show as well as two Guinness World Records for the longest drift and longest twin-vehicle drift.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is interesting about this new M5?\n\n\n\n\n\n    This new M5 has a different code compared to the standard 7\nth\n generation G30 5-Series which it is based on. This 6\nth\n generation M5 is designated F90. The reason for this is because the project name for the model was already decided to be F90 \u2013 a larger wheelbase premium car.\n\n\n\n\n    Other than that, this M5 is also the first all-wheel xDrive M5.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt looks cool on the outside, but is there any form with function?\n\n\n\n\n\n    Yes! The front bumper trim with larger air intakes is meant to keep the cooling systems and brakes sufficiently supplied with cooling air. In terms of the structure, the bonnet is made from aluminium while the roof is made from extremely lightweight, high-strength carbon fibre-reinforced plastic. Furthermore, the hexagonal central air intake at the front incorporates the oil cooler, separating itself sculpturally from the side air intakes.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow much power does this super sedan possess?\n\n\n\n\n\n    600 hp. All from the 4.4-litre V8 engine at 5,600 to 6,700 rpm, with peak torque of 750 Nm from just 1,800 and is constant all the way until 5,600 rpm. Thanks to all this, the century sprint is just 3.4-seconds.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    This is where it gets interesting. The newly developed twin-turbo V8 power goes through a new eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic and onto the M xDrive all-wheel drive system. All this is further configurable based on the combinations of Dynamic Stability Control of DSC on, MDM, DSC off and the M xDrive modes of 4WD, 4WD Sport and 2WD.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Yes you didn\u2019t catch that wrong, the new M5 has configurations including pure rear-wheel drive for slides and cool drifts.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeems like there\u2019s a lot going on. What about the inside?\n\n\n\n\n\n    The interior is premium, M driven. The Head-up display features M-specific content along with the 10.25-inch Touch Display with Navigation Professional. Even the digital instrument cluster has an M-specific design with all the driver information required for driving dynamic mode, the M xDrive all-wheel drive system\u2019s setting and current Drivelogic option.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The steering wheel has two new red specific M1 and M2 buttons that can be used to store two set-ups based on driver preference of engine, transmission, suspension and M xDrive modes, DSC mode, and Head-up Display settings.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    There\u2019s also the M multifunction bucket seats trimmed with Merino leather alongside the options of two-tone combination of Aragon/Black and complete Black matched with interior trim finishers in Aluminium Carbon structure with Dark Chrome highlight.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAre there customisation options?\n\n\n\n\n\n    Owners that want more can step-up their specifications list with a Performance Pack, Advanced Safety Pack and Entertainment Pack.\n\n\n\n\n    The Performance Pack at RM 30,000 offers the M Sport Exhaust System, M Carbon Engine Cover and M Seat Belts. The Advanced Safety Pack at RM 15,000 offers Driving Assistance Plus while Entertainment Pack at RM 55,000 comes with the Rear-seat Entertainment Professional with the Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    In terms of brakes, customers can opt for the M Carbon Ceramic Brakes priced at RM 95,000 that is 23 kilogrammes lighter, provide better deceleration and more resistant to fading, apart from the standard M compound brakes.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow much does it cost?

Komponen \nabsorber\n kereta ini akan menyesuaikan fungsinya mengikut struktur jalan dan memastikan permukaan tayar sentiasa bersentuhan dengan permukaan jalan sepanjang masa. Oleh sebab itu, aspek penjagaan \nabsorber\n penting untuk mengelakkan kerosakan dan risiko kemalangan yang mungkin boleh membahayakan nyawa anda dan pengguna jalan raya yang lain.\n\n\n\n\nPenyerap Hentakan Kereta: 5 Perkara Tentang \nAbsorber\n Kereta yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\nAbsorber \natau exsober, asober, eksober, ekzober, obsober, ezober, exober kereta, exzober kereta, oksober kereta atau apa jua panggilan yang anda berikan memainkan peranan penting dalam sistem \nsuspension\n kereta. Carsome menyenaraikan lima (5) perkara tentang penyerap hentakan\u00a0kereta untuk panduan dan rujukan anda:\n\n\n1. Fungsi \nAbsorber \nKereta\n\n\nAbsorber\n atau penyerap hentakan kereta memainkan fungsi penting dalam mengawal impak dan pergerakan \nspring\n serta \nsuspension\n kereta. Ia secara tidak langsung meminimumkan gegaran dan lantunan, memberi respon kawalan serta pengendalian brek yang lebih baik. Berikut merupakan fungsi \nabsorber\n kereta atau fungsi \nshock absorber\n untuk panduan dan rujukan anda:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMemastikan tayar sentiasa bersentuhan dengan permukaan jalan;\n\n\nMengoptimumkan prestasi brek;\n\n\nMengawal pergerakan kenderaan daripada melantun;\n\n\nMeningkatkan tindak balas pengendalian stereng;\n\n\nMemastikan perjalanan lancar, selamat dan selesa.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Jangka Hayat \nAbsorber\n\u00a0\nKereta\n\n\nKegagalan \nabsorber\n berfungsi dengan baik boleh menyebabkan ketidakselesaan sepanjang pemanduan. Malah, dalam kes tertentu, ia juga boleh menjejaskan prestasi dan menyebabkan kenderaan sukar dikawal dan melantun-lantun terutamanya apabila melalui permukaan jalan raya yang berbonggol dan tidak rata. Secara amnya, jangka hayat \nabsorber\n kereta atau persoalan \u201cbila perlu tukar \nabsorber\n kereta\u201d bergantung pada beberapa faktor antaranya jarak perjalanan, cara pemanduan, keadaan jalan, tempoh masa penggunaan dan lain-lain lagi. Anda disarankan untuk tukar\n absorber\n kereta setiap lima (5) tahun atau setelah bacaan\n mileage\n mencapai 80,000 hingga 100,000 km bergantung pada situasi.\n\n\n3. Jenis \nAbsorber\n\u00a0\nKereta\n\n\nSecara amnya, terdapat beberapa jenis \nabsorber\n kereta yang dijual di pasaran buat masa ini terdiri daripada \nabsorber\n minyak atau gas.\n\n\nAbsorber\n Minyak\n\n\nAbsorber\n minyak secara amnya menawarkan kawalan dan pengendalian kenderaan yang lebih baik untuk prestasi perjalanan yang lebih selesa. Jika anda menggunakan kereta standard, \nabsorber\n jenis ini sudah memadai untuk kegunaan anda. \nAbsorber\n minyak menjanjikan prestasi yang baik terutamanya untuk pemanduan di jalan raya yang berturap. Namun begitu, prestasi \nabsorber\n jenis ini mungkin sedikit terhad pada permukaan jalan raya yang lebih mencabar.\n\n\nAbsorber\n Gas\n\n\nAbsorber\n gas mengandungi gas nitrogen bertekanan rendah. Kegunaan gas nitrogen ini adalah untuk mengatasi masalah peningkatan suhu bendalir hidraulik. Selain itu, ia juga digunakan untuk menstabilkan dan mengekalkan kadar hentakan injap. Penggunaan \ngas absorber \natau \nabsorber\n gas adalah disyorkan untuk kenderaan muatan berat. Ia juga sesuai digunakan untuk kenderaan yang biasa menggunakan laluan yang teruk, berlubang dan tidak berturap. Ini kerana,\n absorber\n jenis ini memiliki prestasi yang lebih baik, tahan lasak dan sesuai untuk persekitaran dan pemanduan yang mencabar. Selain itu,\n absorber\n jenis ini juga dikatakan berupaya memberikan kawalan stereng yang lebih baik pada kelajuan tinggi.\n\n\n4. Beza \nAbsorber\n Minyak dan Gas\n\n\nAbsorber\n gas vs minyak, yang mana\n absorber\n kereta terbaik untuk anda? \u2013 ini merupakan pertanyaan biasa yang sering diajukan oleh pemilik kenderaan.\u00a0Kebanyakan pemilik kenderaan keliru untuk memilih \nshock absorber\n terbaik untuk kenderaan masing-masing. Namun secara amnya, sama ada \nabsorber\n gas atau minyak, kedua-duanya jenis \nabsorber\n ini memainkan peranan dan fungsi yang sama pada kenderaan anda. Pemilihan \nabsorber\n yang sesuai bergantung sepenuhnya pada jenis kenderaan dan tabiat pemanduan anda.\n\n\nCarsome menyenaraikan jadual perbezaan \nabsorber\n gas dan minyak untuk panduan dan rujukan anda seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbsorber\n Gas\n\n\nAbsorber\n Minyak\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHarga lebih mahal dalam pasaran\n\n\nHarga lebih murah dalam pasaran\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSesuai digunakan untuk kenderaan dengan muatan berat\n\n\nSesuai untuk kenderaan standard\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrestasi yang lebih baik \u2013 kawalan yang lebih mantap semasa kelajuan tinggi, sesuai untuk pemanduan jalan raya tidak berturap\n\n\nPrestasi lebih baik terutamanya semasa pemanduan jalan raya berturap. Namun begitu, prestasi sedikit terhad semasa pemanduan jalan raya tidak berturap\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSesuai untuk pemanduan lasak, persekitaran dan pemanduan yang lebih mencabar \u2013 \nbetter performance\n\n\nSesuai untuk pemanduan biasa \u2013 \nnormal performance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Harga \nAbsorber\n\u00a0\nKereta\n\n\nSecara amnya, harga \nabsorber\n kereta bergantung pada jenis\n absorber\n yang dipilih. Kos tukar \nabsorber\n Myvi misalnya, bermula antara RM150 hingga RM500 (\nsepasang\n) atau mungkin lebih bergantung pada jenis \nabsorber\n yang digunakan. Harga \nabsorber\n kereta ini juga tertakluk pada kos pemasangan antara RM50 hingga RM100 bergantung pada lokasi bengkel.\n\n\n\n\n6 Tanda \nAbsorber\n Rosak, Tanda \nAbsorber \nBelakang Rosak\n\n\nAbsorber\n rosak perlu digantikan dengan segera untuk mengelakkan kerosakan yang lebih serius pada mana-mana komponen kereta yang lain. Carsome membantu menyenaraikan enam (6) tanda \nabsorber\n kereta rosak untuk panduan anda:\n\n\n1. Stereng Kereta Bergegar Secara Berlebihan\n\n\nJalan raya yang tidak rata atau berlubang boleh menyebabkan stereng kereta bergegar dan sukar dikawal. Namun begitu, jika stereng bergegar secara berlebihan walaupun semasa memandu di atas permukaan jalan yang rata, ia merupakan tanda kerosakan \nabsorber\n yang serius. Stereng kereta bergegar biasanya disebabkan oleh injap atau penutup piston yang telah haus di dalam penyerap hentakan. Penutup piston yang haus menyebabkan cecair yang berlebihan dibenarkan melepasi piston sekali gus menjejaskan prestasinya.\n\n\nAbsorber\n yang rosak tidak lagi dapat menyerap hentakan dengan baik lalu hentakan dipindahkan kepada pemandu melalui stereng. Kesan ini lebih ketara terutamanya apabila kenderaan melalui jalan berbonggol atau permukaan jalan yang tidak sekata. Malah, kesan gegaran ini juga semakin teruk dirasai semasa memandu pada kelajuan yang tinggi. Gegaran ini bukan sahaja menyebabkan ketidakselesaan dalam pemanduan, malah turut memberi kesan kepada aspek keselamatan dan kemampuan anda untuk mengawal kenderaan jika berlaku kemalangan.\n\n\n2. Kereta Rasa Membuai Semasa Melalui Selekoh\n\n\nJika kenderaan anda mengalami\n body roll\n berlebihan semasa melalui selekoh, ia mungkin menandakan anda perlu tukar \nabsorber\n kereta anda. Apabila \nabsorber\n gagal berfungsi dengan baik, kesan redaman (\ndamping effect\n) akan berkurangan. Ia secara tidak langsung menyebabkan pemampatan \nsuspension\n kereta menjadi tidak terkawal. \nAbsorber \nkereta rosak akan menyebabkan kereta rasa membuai secara berlebihan. Anda akan mendapati kereta anda menjadi tidak stabil atau terapung secara berlebihan \n(floaty) \nterutamanya semasa melalui selekoh tajam.\n\n\n3. Kereta Bergoyang Ketika Memandu\n\n\nAbsorber\n kereta berfungsi menyerap tenaga yang berlebihan daripada \nspring\n apabila kenderaan melalui bonggol atau jalan raya yang tidak rata. Jika\n absorber\n berada dalam keadaan baik, ia dapat mengelakkan kereta anda daripada terus melantun dalam jangka masa yang lama. Namun begitu, jika \nabsorber\n tidak lagi berfungsi secara optimum, tenaga berlebihan ini akan menyebabkan kereta bergoyang ketika memandu dan melantun dengan berlebihan. Ia sekali gus mempengaruhi keselesaan dan pengendalian sepanjang pemanduan.\n\n\n4. Tayar Haus dengan Tidak Sekata\n\n\nKerosakan\n absorber\n juga boleh dikesan melalui kerosakan pada bahagian tayar kereta. Tayar kereta yang rosak atau haus secara tidak sekata atau turut dikenali sebagai \ncupping\n menandakan kereta anda mengalami masalah yang serius berkaitan \nsuspension\n kereta. Situasi ini berlaku kerana \nsuspension\n kereta tidak lagi dapat menampung berat kenderaan sekali gus menyebabkan lebihan berat tertumpu pada satu bahagian tayar sahaja. Jika tayar kereta anda mengalami \nkehausan bunga tayar\n yang tidak sekata, besar kemungkinan ia berlaku disebabkan \nabsorber\n rosak dan perlu digantikan dengan segera.\n\n\n5. \nAbsorber\n Bocor\n\n\nCecair bendalir sepatutnya berada di bahagian dalam dan bukannya di bahagian luar \nshock absober\n. Jika anda dapat mengesan cecair bendalir di bahagian luar \nabsorber\n anda, ini menandakan penutup \nabsorber\n bocor atau rosak. \nAbsorber\n bocor tidak akan berfungsi dengan baik disebabkan oleh cecair bendalir yang hilang. Selain itu, kotoran dan jelaga yang terperangkap dalam \nshaft\n juga akan mempengaruhi pergerakan \nshaft\n sekali gus menjejaskan fungsi dan prestasinya. \nAbsober\n bocor merupakan tanda yang mudah dan jelas untuk menjawab persoalan \u201ccara mengetahui \nabsorber\n kereta rosak\u201d yang sering diajukan pemilik kenderaan.\n\n\n6. \nNose Dive\n Berlebihan Semasa Brek atau Bahagian Belakang Terjongket Semasa Memecut\n\n\nSelain meningkatkan jarak dan masa untuk berhenti, \nnose dive\n atau kenderaan menjunam secara berlebihan semasa brek turut menandakan kerosakan pada bahagian \nabsorber\n kereta anda. Namun begitu, tanda kerosakan ini biasanya sukar untuk dikenal pasti melainkan anda sendiri menyedari kekurangan dinamik pada kereta anda. Jika anda merasakan sesuatu yang tidak kena pada kereta anda, bawa kereta anda ke bengkel berdekatan untuk pemeriksaan. Selain itu, bahagian belakang terjongket semasa memecut turut menunjukkan simptom \nabsorber\n rosak.\n\n\nAnda juga boleh menguji sendiri tahap lantunan kenderaan anda dengan menekan kuat di bahagian sisi kereta. Kereta yang berayun beberapa kali sebelum kembali kepada keadaan asal menandakan kerosakan \nabsorber\n yang memerlukan penggantian segera.\n\n\nSekiranya anda ingin tukar penyerap hentakan kereta yang rosak kepada yang baharu, anda juga disarankan untuk perhatikan dan periksa keadaan \ncoil spring \nkereta anda.\n Coil spring\n kereta perlu digantikan sekiranya ia telah haus, rosak atau mengalami perubahan bentuk.\n\n\n\n\nTop Mounting Absorber\n: Fungsi \nAbsorber Mounting\n, Tanda\n Mounting \nAbsorber \nRosak\n\n\nMounting absorber\n, \nabsorber mounting\n atau turut dikenali sebagai\n top mounting absorber\n terletak di antara \nabsorber\n dan chasis kenderaan. Fungsi \nabsorber mounting\n adalah untuk:\n\n\n\n\nmemastikan absorber kekal berada dalam kedudukannya dan menyerap hentakan daripada jalan raya yang berbonggol atau tidak rata;\n\n\nmenjadi penebat bunyi yang baik, mengelakkan bunyi atau getaran daripada memasuki ruang kabin kenderaan.\n\n\n\n\nSecara amnya, \nabsorber mounting\n tidak memerlukan sebarang penyelenggaraan. Ia juga tidak perlu digantikan melainkan getah\n absorber mounting\n sudah haus atau terdapat masalah lain. Biasanya, \nabsorber mounting\n perlu ditukar sekiranya ia menghasilkan bunyi \nabsorber mounting\n rosak seperti bunyi dentang atau berdecit. Berikut merupakan tanda\n absorber mounting\n rosak untuk panduan anda:\n\n\n\n\nBunyi \nabsorber mounting\n rosak \u2013 Ada bunyi besi berlaga sewaktu memandu atau ketika memusingkan stereng semasa kereta tidak bergerak;\n\n\nKerosakan\n mounting\n juga boleh dilihat secara visual \u2013 \nabsorber\n senget ke bahagian dalam enjin, menyebabkan kedudukan stereng sedikit senget ketika memandu;\n\n\nJika kerosakan lebih kritikal, \nabsorber\n boleh menembusi \nmounting\n sehingga mengakibatkan kenderaan menjadi senget sebelah.\n\n\n\n\nModel kereta memainkan peranan dalam menentukan kos penggantian. Harga tukar \nabsorber mounting\n Myvi misalnya, dianggarkan sekitar RM60 hingga RM100 untuk jenama biasa. Semoga perkongsian ini dapat membantu anda mengenal pasti cara nak tahu \nabsorber\n rosak. Selain itu, sekiranya anda merancang untuk \nmembeli kereta terpakai\n\u00a0\natau\u00a0\nmenjual kereta\n\u00a0\nlama anda, layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

Tetapi sebenarnya \ncoil plug\n kereta dan \nspark plug\n kereta ini sebenarnya sangat berbeza walaupun berada dalam sistem yang sama. Jika coil plug ini rosak, enjin kereta tidak dapat dihidupkan dan kereta tidak dapat bergerak. Jadi, apakah tanda \ncoil plug\n kereta rosak?\n\n\nSebelum kita tahu apakah tanda coil plug kereta rosak, mari kita ambil tahu dulu beza antara \ncoil plug\n (gelung pencucuh) dan juga \nspark plug\n (palam pencucuh).\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPalam Pencucuh. Sumber: MotorBiscuit.com\n\n\nPalam pencucuh atau \nspark plug\n berfungsi menghasilkan arus elektrik daripada sistem pencucuhan ke kebuk pembakaran. \u2018Cucuhan\u2019 ini yang mencetuskan pembakaran campuran udara termampat dan bahan api di dalam kebuk pembakaran enjin.\n\n\nManakala \ncoil plug\n atau gelung pencucuh ini pula berfungsi menghasilkan arus elektrik bervoltan tinggi daripada bateri untuk mencetuskan arus elektrik bagi menghidupkan palam pencucuh. Jadi, palam pencucuh tidak boleh berfungsi tanpa arus yang dihasilkan oleh gelung pencucuh ini.\u00a0\n\n\nWalaupun ia berbeza fungsi namun kedua-dua komponen ini berada di dalam sistem yang sama. Kedua-duanya saling memerlukan dan jika salah satu komponen rosak, kereta tidak akan dapat dihidupkan.\u00a0\n\n\nJika gelung pencucuh rosak, anda cubalah berapa banyak kali sekalipun, kereta anda tidak akan boleh dihidupkan. Namun, jika gelung pencucuh ini mengalami kerosakan, anda boleh tahu dengan memberikan perhatian kepada tanda-tanda \ncoil plug\n kereta rosak berikut.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n1. Enjin Tak Boleh Dihidupkan\u00a0\n\n\nGelung pencucuh atau \ncoil plug\n ini memainkan peranan utama dalam memastikan enjin kereta boleh dihidupkan. Tanpa arus elektrik bervoltan tinggi yang dihasilkan oleh gelung pencucuh\u00a0 ini, enjin tak boleh dihidupkan dan kereta tidak boleh digunakan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nKereta Tak Boleh Start? Jangan Panik, 5 Punca Kereta Tak Boleh Start Yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\nJadi, antara tanda coil plug kereta telah rosak adalah apabila kereta tidak dapat dihidupkan. Tiada arus elektrik yang dihasilkan oleh gelung pencucuh (\ncoil plug\n) menyebabkan palam pencucuh tidak dapat menghidupkan enjin kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nEnjin yang tak boleh dihidupkan disebabkan kerosakan gelung pencucuh akan mengeluarkan bunyi menggerutup. Seperti bunyi orang nak batuk dan bergeser. Jika bunyi ini yang anda dengar semasa nak menghidupkan enjin, mungkin gelung pencucuh enjin kereta dah rosak.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Enjin Mati\u00a0\n\n\nEnjin mati ini boleh terjadi pada bila-bila masa, sama ada semasa kereta anda sedang dipandu atau ketika kereta tidak bergerak ataupun anda sedang membrek.\n\n\nPuncanya? Arus yang dihasilkan oleh gelung pencucuh ini tak tetap menyebabkan palam pencucuh tidak dapat mencucuh bahan api dan udara di dalam enjin. Inilah yang menyebabkan enjin mati.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJika enjin mati semasa anda sedang memandu di tengah jalan, ini sangat-sangat berbahaya. Bukan saja kepada anda, tetapi juga kepada pengguna jalan raya yang lain. Jadi, jika enjin kereta anda kerap mati, bawa ia ke bengkel untuk diperiksa.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Bau Ekzos Yang Busuk Dalam Kereta\u00a0\n\n\nApabila gelung pencucuh rosak, ia akan menyebabkan enjin berada dalam keadaan terbeban. Jika ini terjadi, ia mengeluarkan asap berlebihan yang boleh menyebar sehingga ke dalam kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nMeskipun ada banyak lagi punca yang boleh menyebabkan keadaan ini, namun kerosakan gelung pencucuh ini mungkin boleh menjadi salah satu sebab penghasilan asap yang terlampau banyak.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPenghasilan asap yang berlebihan juga boleh menyebabkan ada banyak sisa mendapan terkumpul di dalam ekzos. Inilah yang boleh menjadi salah satu sebab \nekzos anda jadi jahanam\n.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Enjin Makin Semput\u00a0\n\n\nAnda sedang memandu dan anda perasan sesuatu yang apabila anda tekan pedal minyak, anda dengar enjin mengaum tetapi kereta susah nak bergerak ke depan. Kereta anda nampaknya sudah kehilangan kuasa dan menjadi semput.\u00a0\n\n\nApa yang terjadi? Ini berpunca apabila gelung pencucuh yang rosak tidak dapat menghidupkan palam pencucuh dengan betul itulah yang membuatkan enjin tidak dapat membakar campuran petrol dan udara dengan betul.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan\n: \nKereta Anda Tersengguk-Sengguk?

Walau bagaimanapun, ini cumalah salah satu simptom bagi pelbagai lagi jenis masalah. Jadi, bawa kereta anda untuk diperiksa bagi mengenal pasti apakah punca kejadian ini.\u00a0\n\n\n5. Enjin Bergegar\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda hidupkan enjin atau semasa anda memandu, tiba-tiba enjin anda bergegar teruk, itu bukan benda biasa yang sepatutnya enjin kereta anda buat. Antara punca yang menyebabkan gegaran luar biasa ini? Gelung pencucuh yang dah rosak.\u00a0\n\n\nMacam mana gelung pencucuh yang dah rosak boleh sebabkan enjin bergegar, ianya lebih kurang sama seperti tanda enjin semput. Campuran petrol dan udara tidak dibakar dengan sempurna yang menyebabkan gegaran pada enjin.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTapi kadang-kadang ia juga boleh berpunca daripada kerosakan pendakap enjin namun, jika gegaran yang disebabkan oleh pendakap enjin, ianya sedikit berbeza. Macam mana nak tahu ia disebabkan apa? Hantar saja kereta anda untuk diperiksa oleh \nmekanik bertauliah\n.\u00a0\n\n\n6. Enjin Kuat \u2018Makan\u2019 Minyak\u00a0\n\n\nAnda baru saja isi minyak semalam. Tetapi kemudian anda perasan petrol yang diisi makin cepat habis. Padahal, anda bukannya ada ke mana-mana pun. Setakat pergi dan balik dari kerja saja. Kalau ini yang terjadi, berkemungkinan ia berpunca daripada gelung pencucuh yang dah rosak.\n\n\n\n\nGelung pencucuh yang rosak akan mempengaruhi fungsi palam pencucuh menghidupkan enjin. Campuran petrol dan udara tidak dapat dibakar dengan betul di dalam kebuk \nenjin\n justeru menyebabkan penggunaan minyak menjadi tidak cekap disebabkan\n pembakaran yang tidak betul\n.\u00a0\n\n\n7. Lampu Amaran Enjin Menyala\u00a0\n\n\nJika lampu amaran enjin pada papan odometer kereta anda tiba-tiba menyala, ada sesuatu yang tak kena pada mana-mana bahagian enjin anda. Ini termasuklah mungkin ada kerosakan berlaku pada bahagian gelung pencucuh.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJangan abaikan lampu amaran ini. Jika masih di peringkat awal, ia mungkin boleh dibaiki dengan kos yang tak mahal. Jika dibiarkan lama-lama, kerosakan pada gelung pencucuh mungkin akan menyebabkan kerosakan pada bahagian lain pula.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau Anda Sayangkan Kereta, Jangan Abaikan Tanda-Tanda Ini!\u00a0\n\n\nJika mana-mana tanda coil plug kereta rosak ini terjadi pada kereta anda, ataupun kereta orang lain, jangan biarkan lama-lama kerana ia boleh menyebabkan kerosakan pada bahagian lain di enjin.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSeperti mana yang semua orang tahu, untuk membaiki kerosakan yang terjadi pada bahagian enjin sangat mahal! Kerosakan juga boleh membawa kepada kemalangan jika tidak dibaiki dengan segera!\u00a0\n\n\nServis Tak Tipu Hanya di Pusat Servis CARSOME\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda sayangkan kereta, dompet, dan yang paling penting, nyawa anda, cepat-cepat hantarkan kereta anda untuk diservis jika ada apa-apa yang tak kena dengan kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk pilihan pusat servis, anda boleh pilih untuk servis di Pusat Servis CARSOME yang ada cawangan di Ampang dan juga di Petaling Jaya.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKenapa anda harus memilih Pusat Servis CARSOME ini?

ECU kereta atau turut dikenali sebagai modul kawalan enjin (\nengine control module\n, ECM) menghubungkan enjin dengan sistem komputer dalam kereta. Ia memainkan peranan penting dalam menguruskan kebanyakan fungsi enjin, mengawal selia kebanyakan komponen termasuk sistem dan subsistem dalam enjin kereta. ECU kereta rosak boleh menjejaskan keseluruhan fungsi kereta. Oleh sebab itu, penting untuk anda kenal pasti tanda ECU kereta rosak untuk mengelakkan risiko pembaikan yang lebih serius.\n\n\n\n\nApa itu ECU Kereta? Apa Fungsi ECU Kereta?\n\n\nECU kereta secara asasnya berperanan sebagai komponen elektronik utama kenderaan dan bertindak sebagai pusat kawalan atau komputer utama enjin. Fungsi ECU kereta adalah untuk mengawal prestasi dan fungsi kebolehpanduan (\ndrivability\n) sesebuah kenderaan, selain menguruskan nisbah bahan api dan udara serta pemasaan enjin (\ntiming\n). ECU kereta bertanggungjawab membuat pelarasan berterusan pada enjin kereta. Ia mendapatkan maklumat daripada sensor yang tersedia dalam sistem kereta dan menggunakan maklumat tersebut untuk mengira serta menala percikan dan bahan api yang sesuai bagi mengekalkan prestasi, kuasa dan kecekapan maksimum.\n\n\nECU Kereta Rosak: 5 Tanda ECU Kereta Rosak\n\n\nKebanyakan fungsi penting dalam kereta moden hari ini dikawal selia oleh ECU kereta. Jika ECU kereta rosak, ia boleh menyebabkan pelbagai risiko masalah lain. Dalam sesetengah keadaan, ECU kereta rosak boleh menyebabkan kereta tidak boleh \nstart\n atau digunakan langsung. ECU kereta rosak atau tidak berfungsi dengan baik biasanya akan menunjukkan tanda-tanda tertentu sebagai amaran kepada pemandu. Carsome menyenaraikan lima (5) tanda ECU kereta rosak untuk panduan anda seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Prestasi Enjin Merosot\n\n\nMasalah berkaitan prestasi enjin merupakan salah satu tanda ECU kereta rosak. Biasanya, isu prestasi enjin yang semakin merosot dikaitkan dengan ECU kereta. ECU kereta yang bermasalah boleh menjejaskan pemasaan enjin\u00a0sekali gus menyebabkan kecekapan kuasa semasa proses pembakaran dalaman berkurangan berbanding kebiasaan. Ia sekali gus menjejaskan keupayaan kereta anda untuk memecut dengan baik. Jika anda mengesan sebarang masalah semasa memecut, besar kemungkinan ia disebabkan oleh ECU kereta yang rosak.\n\n\n2. Enjin Kereta Tersedu-sedu, Semput\n\n\nSelain prestasi enjin yang lemah, enjin kereta tersedu-sedu atau enjin semput semasa tekan pedal minyak juga salah satu simptom lain yang menandakan kemungkinan ECU kereta rosak atau tidak berfungsi dengan baik. Unit kawalan elektronik kereta yang rosak boleh menjejaskan \nprestasi enjin kereta\n \ndan menyebabkan enjin kereta tersedu-sedu atau semput (\nstalling\n atau \nmisfiring\n). Biasanya, masalah ini berlaku secara tidak tetap \u2013 ia boleh tersedu-sedu atau semput secara tiba-tiba dan kembali normal pada bila-bila masa. Jika anda mengesan tanda ini pada kereta anda, bawa kereta anda ke bengkel dengan segera untuk pemeriksaan lanjut.\n\n\n3. Lampu Amaran \nCheck Engine\n Menyala\n\n\nPetunjuk lain yang paling jelas menunjukkan masalah pada ECU kereta anda ialah \nlampu amaran\n \nCheck Engine\n menyala pada \ndashboard\n kereta. Lampu \nCheck Engine\n biasanya akan berkelip-kelip atau menyala (berwarna merah) sekiranya sistem komputer mengesan sebarang potensi masalah pada enjin sama ada kerosakan sensor atau litar dalam kereta. Meskipun begitu, ada situasi lampu \nCheck Engine\n menyala meskipun tiada kerosakan atau masalah pada ECU kereta. Anda disarankan untuk mendiagnosis sistem komputer kereta untuk mengenal pasti isu pada kereta anda sama ada ECU kereta rosak atau kerosakan komponen lain dalam kereta anda.\n\n\nDiagnosis ECU Kereta\n\n\nSistem komputer kereta akan didiagnosis untuk mengenal pasti isu pada kereta. Ia biasanya dilakukan dengan\u00a0menyambungkan OBD \nreader\n ke port diagnostik. OBD \nreader \n(atau turut dikenali sebagai pengimbas diagnostik atau alat pengimbas) ialah sejenis peranti yang digunakan untuk membaca memori ralat dan data yang direkodkan pada sistem kenderaan anda. Dengan menggunakan peranti ini, anda boleh mengetahui sama ada sistem komputer kereta menghasilkan sebarang kod ralat. Kod P0600 merupakan antara kod ralat yang biasa ditemui semasa diagnosis ECU kereta dilakukan:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKod P0600 \u2013 Biasanya menandakan terdapat masalah dengan salah satu \nsensor\n yang disambungkan ke ECU kereta anda. Ia juga menunjukkan kemungkinan ralat pada sistem pendawaian.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Peningkatan Penggunaan Bahan Api\n\n\nUnit kawalan elektronik kereta yang rosak boleh menyebabkan masalah pada komponen enjin kereta. ECU kereta rosak boleh menjejaskan kadar kecekapan bahan api kereta \u2013 enjin berdepan masalah kesukaran untuk mengetahui jumlah bahan api yang sesuai untuk dihantar ke proses pembakaran dalaman. Kerosakan ECU kereta ini sekali gus menyebabkan enjin membakar lebih banyak bahan api daripada kebiasaan untuk mengekalkan keperluan pemanduan biasa. Dalam erti kata lain, anda perlu mengeluarkan lebih banyak kos untuk mengisi petrol setiap bulan hanya untuk mengekalkan prestasi pemanduan biasa.\n\n\n5. Kereta Tak Boleh \nStart\n\n\nKereta tak boleh \nstart\n atau sukar dihidupkan merupakan salah satu tanda ECU kereta rosak. Jika kereta tidak hidup tanpa anda mengetahui puncanya, besar kemungkinan ia disebabkan oleh unit kawalan elektronik kereta yang telah rosak atau tidak berfungsi.\u00a0ECU kereta yang rosak akan menjejaskan kawalan enjin dan menyebabkan kereta tidak boleh \nstart\n seperti biasa. Selain itu, anda mungkin berdepan situasi kereta tak boleh\n start\n bunyi \ncrank\n \u2013 situasi ini berlaku disebabkan ECU kereta tidak dapat menghantar input elektronik kepada enjin seperti biasa. Tanda ini juga boleh disebabkan oleh pelbagai masalah lain \u2013 anda disarankan untuk dapatkan diagnosis lengkap daripada mekanik profesional untuk mengetahui punca tepat.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nKereta Tak Boleh Start? Jangan Panik, 5 Punca Kereta Tak Boleh Start Yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\n\n\nECU Kereta Rosak: 5\u00a0Punca ECU Kereta Rosak\n\n\nSecara amnya, ECU kereta memainkan fungsi yang sama seperti CPU dalam komputer. \nElectronic Control Unit\n atau Unit Kawalan Elektronik berfungsi mengawal ciri-ciri dan sistem tertentu dalam kenderaan seperti enjin kereta, stereng kereta, tingkap kuasa, \nkunci kereta\n termasuk beg udara dan sistem keselamatan asas seperti brek kecemasan automatik. ECU kereta juga terdedah kepada risiko kerosakan \u2013 Carsome menyenaraikan lima (5) punca ECU kereta rosak untuk panduan anda seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Bateri Kereta Kong\n\n\nBateri kereta dilengkapi dengan sel elektronik yang perlu berfungsi secara optimum bagi memastikan ECU kereta sentiasa berada dalam keadaan baik. Jika mana-mana sel dalam bateri kereta kong atau mati, lama-kelamaan ia akan menjejaskan prestasi ECU kereta. Ia sekali gus menyebabkan ECU kereta rosak dan meningkatkan risiko \nkereta tak boleh \nstart\n. Sentiasa pastikan bateri kereta berada dalam keadaan baik untuk mengurangkan risiko kerosakan ECU kereta.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\u00a0\nTanda Bateri Kereta Kong, Tip Penjagaan Bateri Kereta Anda Perlu Tahu\n\n\n2. Kakisan, Kehausan\n\n\nECU kereta biasanya dilengkapi dengan penutup kedap atau \nseal\n di sekelilingnya yang berfungsi menghalang kelembapan udara luar daripada masuk ke dalam ECU. Meskipun begitu, penutup kedap ini masih terdedah kepada risiko kerosakan seperti haus. Penutup kedap yang haus boleh menyebabkan kelembapan udara luar memasuki ruang dalam ECU. Udara yang lembap boleh menyebabkan kakisan terbentuk dalam ECU dan jika tidak dibersihkan, ia boleh menyebabkan ECU kereta rosak dan tidak berfungsi dengan optimum.\n\n\n3. Voltan ECU Rendah\n\n\nSecara asasnya, purata voltan terbaik untuk ECU kereta mestilah sekurang-kurangnya minimum 9 volt hingga 12 volt. Anda boleh memeriksa jumlah voltan ECU anda dengan menyambungkan tolok voltmeter atau \nvoltmeter gauge\n (sejenis alat yang digunakan untuk mengukur voltan) pada ECU. Peranti ini akan mengesan jumlah voltan yang mengalir pada ECU kereta. Jika voltan ECU rendah sekitar 6 volt atau kurang, ia boleh menyebabkan masalah pada ECU kereta anda.\n\n\n4. Cara \nJumper\n Kereta yang Tidak Betul\n\n\nProses\n jumper\n kereta yang tidak dilakukan dengan betul juga meningkatkan risiko kerosakan pada ECU kereta. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk memastikan\u00a0kabel\n jumper\n bateri kereta dipasang dengan betul setiap kali proses\n jumper\n kereta dilakukan. Jika tidak pasti, anda boleh rujuk artikel \nCara\n Jumper\n Kereta yang Betul\n untuk panduan anda. Kabel jumper bateri kereta yang tidak dipasang dengan betul boleh memendekkan jangka hayat ECU kereta anda. Malah, anda juga terdedah pada kos pembaikan yang lebih tinggi untuk sekiranya perlu membaiki atau tukar ECU kereta.\n\n\n5. \nStarter\n Kereta Rosak\n\n\nStarter\n kereta kebanyakan model kereta moden hari ini dilengkapi dengan pelbagai jenis \nsensor\n tertentu \u2013 salah satunya berfungsi mengawal jumlah voltan yang diterima oleh ECU. Jika \nsensor\n ini rosak, ia boleh menyebabkan ketidakstabilan jumlah voltan yang diterima oleh ECU. Malah, ia juga mungkin boleh menyebabkan risiko kerosakan lain pada kereta anda. Selain itu, penggantian \nstarter\n kereta juga boleh menyebabkan kerosakan pada ECU kereta sekiranya \nstarter\n kereta\n yang baharu tidak serasi dengan ECU kereta anda. Oleh sebab itu, anda perlu pastikan \nstarter\n kereta baharu sesuai dengan kereta anda untuk mengelakkan kerosakan pada ECU kereta.\n\n\nECU Kereta Rosak: Anggaran Kos Tukar ECU Kereta\n\n\nSecara asasnya, harga tukar ECU kereta boleh menelan kos yang agak tinggi. Komponen ECU kereta Myvi misalnya, dijual secara\n dalam talian\n pada harga sekitar RM350 hingga RM1,200. Namun begitu, kos penggantian ECU kereta biasanya berbeza bergantung pada jenama dan model kereta anda. Dalam kebanyakan kes, ECU kereta rosak boleh dibaiki dan diprogramkan semula (ECU \nrefurbished\n) sekali gus membolehkan penjimatan dengan lebih baik. ECU terpakai biasanya boleh didapati pada harga yang lebih murah iaitu sekitar RM300 hingga RM500. Harga ECU terpakai ini mungkin berbeza bergantung pada tahap kerosakan, kualiti kerja yang dilakukan dan jenis ECU kereta anda.\n\n\nSelain itu, sekiranya anda ingin \nbeli kereta terpakai yang selamat dan berkualiti\n,\n layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

Ini kerana, proses ini menelan belanja yang bukan sedikit\u2013boleh mencecah sehingga empat angka dan memakan masa beberapa hari atau minggu untuk disiapkan.\n\n\nApa itu \nOverhaul\n atau Turun Enjin?\n\n\nSecara amnya, \noverhaul\n atau turut dikenali sebagai turun enjin dalam kalangan pemilik kereta merupakan proses membaik pulih enjin kenderaan secara menyeluruh. Ia merujuk pada proses meleraikan enjin dan komponennya bagi membolehkan mekanik atau juruteknik mengenal pasti dan membaiki punca masalah secara terus pada komponen enjin yang terlibat. Proses ini boleh dikatakan sebagai suatu proses yang sangat rumit dan memerlukan penelitian.\n\n\nKomponen enjin kereta akan dibuka, dibersihkan, dibaiki dan akan dipasang semula sebelum diselaraskan. Setelah penggantian komponen-komponen yang terlibat selesai, ia perlu dipasang semula dengan betul. Jika tersilap langkah, ia boleh boleh mengakibatkan kerosakan enjin sedia ada bertambah serius dan menyebabkan peningkatan kos penyelenggaraan yang lebih besar. Ia biasanya dilakukan apabila sesebuah enjin kereta mengalami masalah seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnjin mengalami kepanasan yang melampau sehingga melebihi paras normal;\n\n\nTerdapat komponen yang patah, retak atau bocor;\n\n\nTiming belt\n atau tali sawat pemasaan putus;\n\n\nPrestasi enjin menurun;\n\n\nMinyak enjin berkurangan walaupun tiada kebocoran yang ketara pada bahagian gasket;\n\n\nEnjin bergegar.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApakah Perbezaan Antara \nTop\n dan \nFull Overhaul\n?\n\n\nLazimnya, proses \ntop\n atau\n full overhaul\n dilakukan terhadap sesebuah enjin kereta bergantung pada tahap kerosakan dan status kesihatan semasa enjin yang diperiksa. Anda boleh mengenal pasti perbezaan antara kedua-dua proses ini seperti berikut:\n\n\nTop Overhaul\n Enjin\n\n\nProses ini merujuk pada proses \noverhaul\n bahagian atas enjin tanpa perlu mengeluarkan keseluruhan enjin daripada badan kereta. Proses ini melibatkan penggantian atau penukaran komponen seperti kepala silinder, injap, \nrocker arm\n, kedap injap atau \nvalve seal\n, skru silinder dan gasket kepala.\n\n\nFull Overhaul\n Enjin\n\n\nProses ini pula merujuk pada keseluruhan enjin kereta dibuka dan dikeluarkan daripada badan kenderaan untuk diservis dan biasanya melibatkan kerosakan pada bahagian-bahagian yang sukar untuk dicapai. Oleh sebab itu, kos untuk \nfull overhaul\n lebih tinggi berbanding \ntop overhaul\n. Kebiasaannya,\n full overhaul\n akan melibatkan proses penggantian atau penukaran komponen-komponen enjin seperti blok enjin, \ncrankshaft\n, \nbearing \n(enjin dan piston), gelang omboh atau \npiston ring \ndan komponen-komponen lain.\n\n\nAnggaran Kos/Harga \nTop\n dan\n Full Overhaul\n\n\nSecara amnya, kos dan harga untuk turun enjin kereta bergantung sepenuhnya pada jenis kerosakan atau permasalahan yang dihadapi, komponen yang perlu digantikan dan jenis \noverhaul\n enjin yang dilakukan. Biasanya, kos atau harga untuk\n top overhaul\n bagi model-model Proton dan Perodua boleh mencecah sekitar RM800 hingga RM3,000. Manakala, kos untuk \nfull overhaul\n untuk model-model Proton dan Perodua boleh mencecah antara RM4,000 hingga RM5,000 dan ke atas.\n\n\nNamun begitu, harga ini mungkin berubah dan berbeza bergantung pada permasalahan yang dihadapi\u2013kos sebenar hanya boleh diketahui selepas pemeriksaan menyeluruh dilakukan.\n\n\nTanda-tanda Enjin Kereta Perlu\n Overhaul\n\n\nSama seperti manusia, kereta juga mempunyai masalah-masalah tertentu yang perlu dibaiki. Enjin kereta akan diperiksa untuk mengetahui sama ada terdapat sebarang kerosakan yang berlaku yang boleh menjejaskan prestasi dan fungsi enjin. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk memastikan enjin kereta berada dalam keadaan baik. Anda juga dinasihatkan untuk tidak mengabaikan tanda amaran pada panel meter atau kluster instrumen sehingga boleh menyebabkan kerosakan teruk pada komponen kereta.\n\n\n1. Kereta Keluar Asap Putih daripada Ekzos\n\n\nJika anda melihat asap berwarna putih keluar daripada ekzos kereta, ini bermaksud minyak enjin telah memasuki ruang pembakaran. Situasi ini berlaku disebabkan oleh gelang piston atau \npiston ring\n yang sudah haus atau rosak.\n\n\n2. Enjin Meragam Disebabkan Palam Pencucuh Berkerak\n\n\nPalam pencucuh yang telah dicemari oleh minyak enjin yang bocor boleh menyebabkan kerak. Palam pencucuh yang berkerak secara tidak langsung boleh menjejaskan prestasi percikan api dan menyebabkannya tidak mampu berfungsi dengan optimum. Anda boleh mengesan tanda-tanda prestasi enjin kereta anda mula merosot:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnjin meragam;\n\n\nBunyi pelik terhasil di bahagian enjin;\n\n\nEnjin tersengguk-sengguk ketika memecut.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Minyak Hitam Kurang\n\n\nSimptom enjin \u2018makan minyak\u2019 ini merupakan salah satu tanda enjin kereta anda memerlukan \noverhaul\n. Anda boleh memeriksa paras minyak enjin kereta anda secara berkala dengan menggunakan \ndipstick\n untuk mengetahui paras sebenar minyak enjin dalam kereta anda.\n\n\n4. \nTemperature\n atau Suhu Enjin Kereta Naik\n\n\nSuhu atau \ntemperature\n enjin yang kerap naik dengan tiba-tiba sehingga menyebabkan panas lampau (\noverheating\n) menandakan terdapat masalah kebocoran pada bahagian enjin yang menjejaskan nisbah mampatan. Ia biasanya disebabkan oleh gasket kepala silinder yang rosak lalu menyebabkan air radiator berkurangan dan memasuki ruang pembakaran.\n\n\nAdakan Overhaul Enjin Kereta Dilindungi oleh Waranti?\n\n\nSecara amnya, perkara-perkara yang melibatkan aspek penyelenggaraan, komponen kereta yang haus dan lusuh, kerosakan pada bahagian luar dan dalam kereta disebabkan oleh aspek penjagaan yang tidak baik tidak tertakluk pada perlindungan waranti. Anda boleh rujuk senarai panduan berikut untuk rujukan anda:\n\n\n\n\nPenyelenggaraan berkala\u2013tukar minyak hitam, tayar kereta dan lain-lain komponen;\n\n\nItem yang haus dah lusuh\u2013penggantian brek kereta, pad brek, klac, wiper kereta mentol lampu dan sebagainya;\n\n\nKerosakan pada bahagian luar/panel badan kenderaan seperti calar, kemik dan bahagian dalam seperti tempat duduk, aksesori dalaman kereta;\n\n\nKerosakan disebabkan oleh:\n\n\n\nAspek penjagaan yang tidak baik\u2013mengabaikan penyelenggaraan kereta, pemanduan yang berbahaya;\n\n\nKemalangan\u2013kemik pada bahagian luaran, cermin pecah dan sebagainya;\n\n\nFaktor semula jadi seperti bencana alam.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNota: Jaminan waranti mungkin berbeza bergantung pada tahap perlindungan yang dipilih, rujuk pengeluar kereta anda untuk maklumat lanjut. \n\n\nKerja-kerja \noverhaul\n enjin bukan sahaja memerlukan kemahiran dan pengetahuan yang betul, malah ia juga memerlukan kos belanja yang besar. Oleh sebab itu, ada pemilik kereta yang memilih untuk menukar blok enjin berbanding \noverhaul\n kerana kos pembaikan lebih murah. Anda disarankan untuk berbincang dengan mekanik anda untuk mendapatkan jalan penyelesaian yang terbaik untuk kedua-dua pihak. Anda juga boleh mendapatkan pandangan kedua daripada mekanik lain sebelum membuat keputusan.\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda sedang mempertimbangkan untuk \nmenjual mana-mana model kereta lama\n \ndan berminat untuk\n mendapatkan model kereta terpakai\n, layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

Pam minyak bertanggungjawab membekalkan amaun bahan api yang mencukupi dari tangki minyak ke silinder enjin pada tekanan yang tetap. Ia sekali gus memastikan enjin kereta dapat beroperasi dan berfungsi dengan baik. Pam minyak atau \nfuel pump\n rosak bukanlah suatu masalah yang boleh dipandang ringan. Secara umumnya, pam minyak kereta anda boleh haus atau lusuh dan boleh menyebabkan kerosakan yang serius pada kereta anda selari dengan kekerapan penggunaan. Oleh sebab itu, penting untuk anda membiasakan diri dengan fungsi, simptom dan tanda \nfuel pump\n rosak.\n\n\n\n\nFungsi \nFuel Pump\n\n\nFuel pump\n atau pam minyak merupakan salah satu komponen penting kenderaan yang berfungsi menolak dan membekal amaun bahan api yang diperlukan oleh enjin pada tekanan yang tetap. Ia secara tidak langsung memastikan enjin kereta berada dalam keadaan baik dan dapat beroperasi dengan lancar. Bagi model kenderaan lama,\n fuel pump\n mekanikal akan digunakan, manakala kenderaan moden menggunakan \nfuel pump\n elektrikal.\n\n\nMeskipun menggunakan mekanisme yang berbeza, \nfuel pump\n menjalankan fungsi yang sama iaitu menghantar bahan api seperti petrol atau diesel dari tangki minyak melalui penapis bahan api ke rel sistem bahan api. Ia kemudiannya akan diagihkan ke \ninjector\n atau penyuntik sebelum dipindahkan ke setiap ruang pembakaran silinder enjin. Bagi model kenderaan lama, pam akan menghantar bahan api ke karburator untuk proses selanjutnya.\n\n\nJenis \nFuel Pump\n\n\nSecara amnya, terdapat dua jenis\n fuel pump\n yang biasa digunakan oleh kenderaan\u2013\nfuel pump\n mekanikal dan elektrikal. Pam minyak mekanikal biasanya digunakan oleh kenderaan lama, manakala pam minyak elektrikal biasanya digunakan oleh kenderaan yang lebih moden.\n\n\ni. \nFuel pump\n mekanikal\n\n\nKomponen ini biasanya ditemui pada blok enjin kereta lama\u2013ia beroperasi menggunakan tenaga yang dihasilkan oleh gerakan enjin. Pam jenis ini mempunyai diafragma yang berada pada bahagian luar tangki minyak dan membekalkan enjin dengan bahan api pada tekanan rendah. Secara amnya, kebanyakan masalah yang berlaku pada pam jenis ini disebabkan oleh kerosakan pada bahagian diafragma. Oleh sebab itu, kebanyakan masalah kerosakan pam mekanikal mudah dikenal pasti dan dibaiki.\n\n\nii. \nFuel pump \nelektrikal\n\n\nKomponen ini terletak di bahagian dalam tangki minyak untuk membekalkan bahan api ke bahagian enjin pada tekanan tinggi menggunakan motor elektromagnetik. Pam elektronik secara amnya lebih kompleks\u2013kebanyakan masalah kerosakan pada pam jenis ini sukar untuk dikenal pasti dan dibaiki. Ini kerana, pam elektrikal terdiri daripada beberapa komponen tertentu, jika salah satu daripada komponen ini bermasalah, ia menyukarkan proses mengenal pasti punca kerosakan. Berikut merupakan antara jenis pam elektrikal yang biasa digunakan:\n\n\n\n\nIn-tank\n \u2013 Kebanyakan kenderaan moden hari ini menggunakan \nfuel pump\n yang terletak di bahagian dalam tangki minyak. Ia secara tidak langsung membantu melindungi modul dan membantu memastikannya berada pada suhu yang ideal.\n\n\nInline\n \u2013 Komponen ini lebih mudah untuk digantikan berbanding\n in-tank\n. Pam jenis ini terletak di antara tangki minyak dan enjin sama ada di bahagian bawah kereta atau ruang enjin pada rel sistem bahan api.\n\n\nRotary vane\n \u2013 Sama seperti pam mekanikal, \nrotary vane\n menggunakan sesar positif atau \npositive displacement\n untuk menggerakkan bahan api. Rotor dengan dayung beroperasi di luar pusat di dalam rongga (\ncavity\n).\n\n\nGerotor \u2013 Pam gerotor juga turut menggunakan sesar positif tetapi menggunakan bahagian yang berbeza. Ia mengandungi dua gear memanca (\ninterlocking gear\n)\u2013gear dalaman bergigi dan gear gelang luar dengan cuping melengkung halus.\n\n\n\n\nTanda \nFuel Pump\n Rosak atau Bermasalah\n\n\nSecara amnya, kedua-dua jenis \nfuel pump\n boleh rosak disebabkan oleh masalah atau punca yang berbeza. Namun begitu, kedua-dua jenis \nfuel pump\n ini menunjukkan simptom atau tanda fuel pump rosak bagi yang sama. Jika anda mengesan sebarang tanda \nfuel pump\n rosak semasa memandu, anda disarankan untuk memeriksa dan menggantikan \nfuel pump\n kereta anda dengan segera:\n\n\nKereta Anda Tersentak pada Kelajuan Tinggi\n\n\nSekiranya anda sedang memandu dan mendapati enjin kereta anda \nsputter\n atau\n jerk \nterutamanya pada kelajuan tinggi, kereta anda mungkin mengalami masalah kerosakan pam minyak. Masalah ini berlaku disebabkan pam minyak tidak dapat mengalirkan bahan api yang secukupnya ke bahagian bahagian enjin. Namun sebaliknya, enjin yang sepatutnya menerima bahan api hanya menerima udara.\n\n\nGangguan aliran bahan api ini secara tidak langsung menyebabkan enjin melangkau beberapa \nstroke\n kuasa lalu menyebabkan enjin tersedak atau tersentak. Biasanya, masalah enjin tersentak atau tersedak ini berlaku selama seminit atau lebih pada peringkat awal kerosakan sebelum kembali beroperasi seperti biasa.\n\n\nKereta Hilang Kuasa Semasa Memecut\n\n\nSekiranya anda menyedari bahawa kereta anda sering kehilangan kuasa ketika cuba memecut dari 0 km/j, ia menandakan \nfuel pump\n kereta anda mungkin menghadapi masalah. Secara amnya, proses memecut memerlukan lebih banyak bahan api sekali gus memaksa pam minyak kereta anda berkerja dengan lebih keras. Sekiranya pam kereta anda rosak, ia mungkin tidak dapat memenuhi permintaan operasi ini sekali gus menyebabkan enjin kehilangan kuasa semasa memecut. Jika situasi ini berlaku, anda mungkin perlu memeriksa \nfuel pump\n kereta anda dengan segera.\n\n\nEnjin Kereta Kehilangan Kuasa Semasa Menaiki Bukit atau Membawa Bebanan\n\n\nSituasi pemanduan tertentu seperti memandu di kawasan berbukit atau membawa bebanan yang berlebihan boleh memberi tekanan kepada bahagian enjin kereta anda. Ia secara tidak langsung memaksa enjin menggunakan lebih banyak bahan api untuk menghasilkan prestasi pemanduan yang sama seperti pemanduan biasa. Sekiranya \nfuel pump\n atau pam minyak kereta anda rosak atau tidak berada dalam keadaan baik, ia semestinya tidak dapat memenuhi peningkatan permintaan bahan api ini.\n\n\nMalah, ia juga meningkatkan tekanan pada pam minyak yang sekali gus mengakibatkan enjin kehilangan kuasa kerana tidak dapat membekalkan aliran bahan api yang stabil ke bahagian enjin.\n\n\nKereta Anda Tidak Dapat Dihidupkan\n\n\nSekiranya tanda \nfuel pump\n rosak diabaikan, ia boleh menyebabkan kos pembaikan yang lebih tinggi dan kerosakan yang lebih serius. \nFuel pump\n yang rosak tidak dapat mengepam bahan api yang mencukupi ke bahagian enjin anda sekali gus menyebabkan enjin kereta sukar untuk dihidupkan. Anda mungkin hanya mendengar\n \nspark plug\n atau palam pencucuh\n anda menyala, namun oleh sebab tiada bahan api berjaya dipam masuk, enjin tidak dapat dihidupkan.\n\n\nUntuk mengesahkan masalah enjin kereta tidak boleh dihidupkan berpunca daripada \nfuel pump\n yang rosak, periksa tekanan dalam saluran bahan api dengan menggunakan alat pengukur tekanan bahan api. Jika bacaan sifar, besar kemungkinan\n fuel pump\n kereta anda telah rosak. Selain itu, anda juga boleh memeriksa kotak fius kereta anda; ia mungkin salah satu sebab enjin kereta anda tidak boleh dihidupkan.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nKereta Tak Boleh Start Bunyi Tik Tik? 7 Punca Kereta Tak Boleh Start yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\nKuasa Enjin Kereta Naik Turun Secara Mengejut\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda mendapati kereta anda memecut secara tiba-tiba meskipun anda tidak menekan pedal minyak, ia mungkin menandakan fuel pump kereta anda rosak. Keadaan ini yang juga turut dikenali sebagai \nsurging\n berlaku disebabkan tekanan dalam saluran bahan api yang tidak konsisten. Ini kerana, motor pam minyak berusaha menolak permintaan berterusan untuk bekalan bahan api oleh enjin kereta.\n\n\n\n\nTanda \nRelay Fuel Pump\n Rosak atau Bermasalah\n\n\nRelay fuel pump\n merupakan komponen elektronik yang terdapat pada hampir semua kenderaan yang dilengkapi dengan enjin pembakaran dalaman. Ia biasanya terletak pada bahagian kotak fius dalam ruang enjin dan berfungsi sebagai suis elektronik utama yang mengawal kuasa ke pam minyak. Apabila\n relay\n dihidupkan, ia akan membekalkan arus kepada \nfuel pump\n supaya ia dapat menjalankan fungsinya.\n\n\nOleh sebab itu, jika komponen \nrelay fuel pump\n rosak, ia boleh menyebabkan masalah pada pam minyak kereta anda. Biasanya, \nrelay fuel pump\n rosak akan menunjukkan beberapa simptom atau tanda-tanda kerosakan seperti berikut:\n\n\nEnjin Pegun atau Stall\n\n\nSekiranya\n relay fuel pump\n mengalami masalah semasa kenderaan beroperasi, ia akan memutuskan aliran kuasa ke pam minyak sekali gus menyebabkan enjin berhenti. Kereta mungkin boleh dihidupkan semula selepas beberapa ketika, namun begitu ia bergantung sepenuhnya pada tahap kerosakan \nrelay\n.\n\n\nEnjin Kereta Tidak Hidup\n\n\nSekiranya\n relay fuel pump\n rosak, enjin kereta tidak dapat dihidupkan kerana kekurangan bahan api.\u00a0Namun begitu, masalah ini mungkin juga berpunca daripada masalah komponen yang lain. Anda disarankan untuk lakukan pemeriksaan segera untuk mengenal pasti punca sebenar.\n\n\nTiada Bunyi Dihasilkan\n\n\nKebanyakan \nfuel pump\n akan menghasilkan bunyi\n hum\n atau \nwhine\n yang dapat didengari dari dalam ruang kabin atau dari bahagian luar berhampiran tangki minyak jika diamati. Sekiranya \nrelay fuel pump\n rosak, ia akan memutuskan kuasa ke pam minyak sekali gus menyebabkannya tidak menghasilkan sebarang bunyi kerana tidak beroperasi.\n\n\nApa yang Perlu Dilakukan Jika \nFuel Pump\n Rosak?\n\n\nFuel pump\n atau pam minyak merupakan antara elemen penting komponen dalaman kereta anda. Ia berfungsi membekalkan bahan api yang diperlukan oleh enjin dengan konsisten bagi membolehkan enjin kereta beroperasi dengan baik. Sekiranya kereta anda menghadapi masalah kuasa yang lemah dan tidak konsisten, ia mungkin menandakan anda perlu menggantikan\n fuel pump\n kereta anda dengan segera.\n\n\nBila Pam Minyak Perlu Digantikan?\n\n\nFuel pump\n mengalami kehausan dan kerosakan bergantung pada tempoh masa dan cara penggunaan. Secara amnya, komponen ini bukan sebahagian daripada komponen yang perlu digantikan mengikut jadual penyelenggaraan biasa. \nFuel pump \nhanya perlu digantikan apabila ia menunjukkan tanda-tanda kerosakan. Secara purata, jangka hayat penggunaan \nfuel pump\n boleh bertahan sehingga lebih 150,000 km.\n\n\nBerapa Kos Penggantian Pam Minyak?\n\n\nKos penggantian \nfuel pump\n boleh menelan belanja antara RM180 hingga RM300 (atau mungkin lebih) bergantung pada jenis dan model serta usia kereta.\n\n\nBagaimana Pastikan Pam Minyak Berada dalam Keadaan Baik?\n\n\nLangkah-langkah ini mungkin boleh membantu memanjangkan jangka hayat \nfuel pump\n kereta anda:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTukar penapis bahan bakar mengikut garis masa yang disyorkan oleh pengeluar. Penapis yang tersumbat memberi tekanan yang tidak diperlukan dalam sistem pembakaran bahan api.\n\n\nPastikan minyak berada pada tahap yang ideal dalam tangki kereta anda. Bagi\n fuel pump in-tank\n misalnya, petrol berfungsi sebagai penyejuk. Sekiranya minyak berada pada tahan yang rendah, ia secara tidak langsung menyebabkan \nfuel pump\n menahan haba tambahan yang boleh merosakkannya.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElemen paling penting dalam mengenal pasti masalah kereta adalah dengan mendengar dan memahami cara setiap satu komponen kereta berfungsi dan beroperas dalam penggunaan biasa. Dengan pengetahuan asas ini, anda secara tidak langsung dapat mengesan simptom-simptom yang lain daripada kebiasaan.

Walaupun dengan usaha yang bersungguh-sungguh dalam menjaga kereta, pengilang biasanya menganggarkan kereta mereka dapat bertahan dalam purata sehingga sepuluh tahun. \nOleh itu, apabila masanya sudah tiba, anda perlu \nmenjual kereta lama\n anda.\n\n\nTetapi, bilakah masa yang tepat untuk melakukannya? Bagaimana pula untuk mengenalpasti bahawa sudah tiba masanya untuk \nmenukar kereta\n? Berikut adalah beberapa faktor yang boleh anda pertimbangkan.\n\n\n\n\nMenaik Taraf Kereta Anda\n\n\nSekiranya anda telah memandu kereta yang sama sejak sepuluh tahun yang lalu, mungkin sudah tiba masanya untuk anda menaik taraf kereta anda. Kereta baharu didatangkan dengan teknologi moden yang dapat meningkatkan tahap keselamatan atau memudahkan pemandu.\u00a0\n\n\nPenjimatan minyak yang lebih baik juga merupakan salah satu faktor penting dalam menentukan bila masa yang sesuai untuk menjual kereta model lama yang kurang cekap, terutama sekali jika anda kerap memandu jarak jauh.\n\n\nSetelah menaik taraf kepada kereta baru, kereta anda yang lama bolehlah dijual. Jika tidak, anda akan terbeban dengan aset yang nilainya kian menurun. Jualkannya secepat mungkin supaya anda boleh memaksimumkan nilainya.\n\n\nSebab lain mengapa anda mungkin mahu menjual kereta anda selepas menaik taraf adalah ruang yang tidak mencukupi. Tempat letak kenderaan sudah menjadi sesuatu yang premium, terutamanya jika anda tinggal di bandar. Jika anda (atau pasangan anda) tidak lagi menggunakan kereta lama, anda mungkin mahu menjualnya jika anda tidak mempunyai ruang untuk menyimpannya.\n\n\n\n\nMenjual Kereta yang Masih dalam Keadaan Baik\n\n\nDi samping itu, menjual kereta anda ketika ia dalam keadaan yang masih baik juga merupakan satu keputusan yang bijak. Dengan cara ini, anda boleh mendapatkan nilai jualan yang baik untuk kereta anda dan dapat mengelakkan dari menghadapi masalah kereta yang mungkin berlaku di masa hadapan.\n\n\nMenjual kereta yang memerlukan banyak pembaikan adalah sangat leceh. Anda akan mengalami kesukaran dalam mencari pembeli yang berpotensi dan mereka yang berminat pula akan meminta harga yang jauh lebih rendah dari biasa. Sebelum nasi menjadi bubur, lebih baik jual sahaja kereta anda semasa ia masih elok untuk dapatkan harga yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\nMileage\n juga dapat mempengaruhi masa yang sesuai untuk menjual kereta anda. Selepas mencapai \nmileage\n tertentu, nilai kereta anda akan menurun dengan drastik. Kalau boleh, jual kereta anda sebelum ia mencecah 100,000 kilometer, kerana waranti pengeluar biasanya hanya meliputi sehingga tempoh tersebut.\n\n\nJika kereta anda telah mencecah 150,000 kilometer, ini akan menjatuhkan nilai kereta anda dengan lebih banyak kerana kereta dengan jumlah \nmileage\n sebanyak ini dianggap sebagai kereta lama, menjadikannya lebih sukar untuk dijual.\n\n\nPerubahan Gaya Hidup\n\n\nDulu, anda masih bujang dan anda cuma mahu nampak bergaya dengan kereta kompak anda. Ia kecil, laju, dan tidak memerlukan tempat letak kereta yang besar. Tambahan pula, ia juga jimat minyak, jadi anda tidak perlu berbelanja banyak setiap kali keluar.\n\n\nKini, anda sudah pun berkahwin dan berkeluarga. Kereta kompak anda kini kelihatan sempit dan tidak mampu untuk memuatkan barang dapur, barangan bayi, dan kereta sorong yang anda perlu bawa setiap kali keluar.\u00a0\n\n\nLebih teruk lagi, perjalanan pulang ke kampung setiap tahun juga menjadi tidak selesa kerana ruang yang sempit. Keselamatan anda dan ahli keluarga juga sedikit terganggu apabila memandu kereta yang kecil.\n\n\nKehidupan kita akan sentiasa berubah, begitu juga dengan jenis kereta kita. Mengikut contoh di atas, sudah tiba masanya untuk menukar kereta kompak tersebut dengan sesuatu yang mempunyai lebih banyak ruang \u2013 mungkin MPV atau SUV \u2013 yang sesuai dengan gaya hidup anda sekarang.

Ia juga boleh membantu mengelakkan anda daripada berdepan dengan situasi luar jangkaan seperti minyak hitam bocor bawah enjin kereta yang mungkin berisiko merosakkan komponen lain dalam enjin kereta anda.\n\n\nSecara amnya, minyak hitam kereta berfungsi membersihkan, menyejukkan dan melicinkan pergerakan sekali gus mengurangkan risiko kerosakan pada bahagian enjin kereta. Oleh sebab itu, pengetahuan asas mengenai minyak hitam merupakan salah satu perkara penting yang perlu diberi perhatian oleh pemilik kenderaan.\n\n\nMinyak Hitam Kereta:\u00a05 Tanda Tukar Minyak Hitam Kereta Yang Anda Perlu Tahu\n\n\nSecara amnya, minyak pelincir atau minyak enjin perlu ditukar mengikut tempoh tukar minyak hitam kereta yang ditetapkan. Penyelenggaraan dan penjagaan minyak enjin penting untuk mengelakkan masalah kerosakan serius pada enjin yang mungkin menelan kos perbelanjaan yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\n\n\nBiasanya, tempoh tukar minyak hitam kereta adalah bergantung pada jenis minyak hitam yang digunakan, biasanya setiap 5000 atau 10,000 kilometer. Meskipun begitu, anda disarankan untuk segera tukar minyak hitam kereta anda sekiranya menunjukkan tanda tukar minyak hitam kereta seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Enjin Kereta Meragam\n\n\nEnjin kereta meragam, \nmasalah kereta bunyi bising\n pada bahagian enjin (bunyi ketukan), komponen logam bergesel dalam enjin merupakan tanda anda perlu tukar minyak hitam kereta anda. Secara amnya, minyak pelincir memainkan peranan penting dalam melancarkan pergerakan komponen logam dalam enjin. Ia sekali gus mengelakkan komponen logam yang bergerak dalam enjin daripada bersentuhan dan bergesel antara satu sama lain. Oleh sebab itu, minyak pelincir perlu diselenggara mengikut jadual bagi membantu meningkatkan jangka hayat sesuatu komponen dalam enjin dan mengurangkan risiko enjin kereta daripada meragam. Minyak pelincir yang tidak diselenggara akan menjadi semakin cair, berkurangan atau kotor sekali gus menjejaskan fungsinya.\n\n\n2. Kereta Bau Hangit, Terbakar\n\n\nBau hangit atau terbakar dalam ruang kabin menandakan ada bahagian enjin kereta anda sedang mengalami masalah yang memerlukan pemerhatian segera. Biasanya, kereta bau hangit berlaku disebabkan oleh kebocoran minyak dalam enjin kereta. Malah, ia juga boleh berlaku disebabkan oleh suhu enjin kereta yang terlalu panas sehingga menyebabkan minyak terbakar di dalam sistem ekzos. Dalam sesetengah keadaan, ia juga menyebabkan \nkereta keluar asap kelabu\n atau biru. Jika situasi sebegini berlaku kepada anda, segera periksa kereta anda dan tukar minyak hitam kereta anda untuk mengelakkan kerosakan yang lebih serius seperti kebakaran enjin dan sebagainya.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nTanda-tanda Sistem Ekzos Kereta Anda Mungkin Bocor dan Bermasalah\n\n\n3. Berubah Warna Minyak Hitam Berkilat\n\n\nTidak seperti namanya, minyak enjin atau minyak pelincir (atau lebih dikenali sebagai minyak hitam dalam kalangan pengguna) sebenarnya berwarna coklat. Meskipun begitu, warna coklat ini berpotensi untuk berubah menjadi lebih gelap dan menjadi hitam sepenuhnya akibat kotoran dan bendasing daripada pembakaran dalaman enjin. Semasa periksa atau cek minyak hitam kereta, pastikan anda mengenal pasti tahap kejernihan minyak pelincir kereta anda. Tukar minyak hitam kereta anda sekiranya warnanya sudah bertukar gelap.\n\n\nCara Cek Minyak Hitam Kereta\n\n\nMinyak pelincir atau minyak enjin secara amnya berfungsi memastikan prestasi enjin berada dalam keadaan baik. Selain melancarkan pemanduan, minyak pelincir ini juga berfungsi membersihkan dan menyejukkan komponen dalam enjin sekali gus melindungi enjin daripada sebarang kerosakan. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk sentiasa memeriksa tahap kejernihan minyak pelincir kereta anda dari semasa ke semasa untuk mengelakkan risiko kerosakan enjin yang lebih serius.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCabut \ndipstick\n dan bersihkan;\n\n\nMasukkan semula \ndipstick\n ke dalam minyak hitam;\n\n\nKemudian keluarkan semula \ndipstick\n;\n\n\nPeriksa paras minyak hitam kereta\n\n\n\nSekiranya paras minyak hitam kereta berada melebihi paras \nhigh level\n, sebahagian daripada minyak hitam ini perlu dikeluarkan supaya ia tidak menjejaskan kelancaran enjin. Selain itu, antara kesan terlebih isi minyak hitam kereta boleh menyebabkan kebocoran dan \nkerosakan \ncrankshaft\n, \nspark plug\n rosak\n dan perlu digantikan;\n\n\nSekiranya paras minyak hitam berada di bawah \nlow level\n, minyak pelincir perlu ditambah untuk mengelakkan kerosakan komponen enjin;\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCalitkan \ndipstick\n pada tisu atau kain berwarna putih untuk melihat tahap kepekatan minyak hitam.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Lampu Amaran Tekanan Minyak Enjin Menyala\n\n\nLampu amaran tekanan minyak enjin kereta\n (\noil pressure warning\n) atau turut dikenali sebagai lampu aladin menyala pada meter kereta menandakan sistem mengesan permasalahan pada sistem tekanan minyak enjin kereta anda. Biasanya, \nlampu amaran kereta\n menyala apabila sistem mengesan masalah seperti minyak hitam bocor bawah enjin kereta, \nfuel pump\n kereta rosak\n atau sebagai tanda minyak hitam kurang atau terlalu sedikit. Jika lampu amaran tekanan minyak enjin menyala, segera periksa paras enjin dan tambah minyak hitam jika perlu. Selain itu, anda disarankan untuk bawa kenderaan anda ke bengkel berdekatan untuk pemeriksaan lanjut bagi mengelakkan kerosakan serius yang lain daripada berlaku.\n\n\n5. Peningkatan Penggunaan Bahan Api\n\n\nSelain itu, peningkatan penggunaan bahan api atau\n minyak petrol\n turut merupakan petanda jelas anda perlu tukar minyak hitam kereta anda. Minyak pelincir yang telah cair dan tidak cukup likat akan meningkatkan stress ke atas enjin kenderaan anda. Komponen enjin kereta perlu bekerja dengan lebih keras daripada biasa bagi menggerakkan kereta bagi mencapai prestasi pemanduan seperti sediakala. Ia secara tidak langsung akan meningkatkan penggunaan petrol atau bahan api kenderaan anda.\n\n\n\n\nMinyak Enjin Terbaik: Tip Pilih Minyak Hitam Kereta Terbaik dan Sesuai untuk Kereta Anda\n\n\nSebagai pemilik kenderaan, faktor-faktor penting seperti tahap kelikatan minyak enjin, jenis minyak hitam (minyak hitam semi sintetik, minyak hitam \nfully synthetic\n) dan jenis enjin kereta merupakan antara faktor penting yang perlu dipertimbangkan sebelum memilih minyak enjin terbaik dan sesuai dengan kenderaan anda. CARSOME menyenaraikan lima (5) perkara yang perlu dipertimbangkan sebelum memilih minyak enjin terbaik bagi menjamin prestasi dan ketahanan enjin kenderaan anda.\n\n\n1. Model Kereta, Siri Pembuatan\n\n\nModel kereta dan siri pembuatan kereta merupakan salah satu perkara penting yang perlu dipertimbangkan dalam memilih minyak enjin terbaik. Kebanyakan model kenderaan moden hari ini dilengkapi dengan enjin berprestasi tinggi baharu yang diformulasikan untuk meningkatkan kecekapan dan prestasi enjin sepanjang pemanduan. Selari dengan itu, minyak enjin kereta kini diformulasikan dan ditambah baik bersesuaian dengan perkembangan teknologi versi enjin baharu ini. Ini bermaksud, ada sesetengah minyak enjin dipasaran mungkin tidak sesuai untuk sesetengah model kereta lama disebabkan oleh pembaharuan formulasi ini.\n\n\n2. Persekitaran, Tabiat Pemanduan\n\n\nAnda juga disarankan untuk mengambil kira faktor tabiat pemanduan, persekitaran atau lokasi pemanduan sebelum memilih minyak hitam kereta terbaik. Keadaan persekitaran pemanduan yang berbeza seperti iklim (panas atau sejuk), keadaan jalan (berturap atau berbatu) serta faktor-faktor lain boleh memberi tekanan yang berbeza pada enjin kenderaan anda. Selain itu, penggantian dan penyelenggaraan minyak hitam kereta yang ideal juga bergantung pada penggunaan.\n\n\nJika kenderaan kerap digunakan, minyak pelincir perlu digantikan lebih awal meskipun belum melangkau tempoh minyak hitam kereta yang disyorkan bagi mengelakkan kerosakan pada enjin. Dalam situasi kereta jarang digunakan pula, anda disarankan untuk menggantikan minyak pelincir mengikut jadual yang telah ditetapkan bagi mengekalkan prestasi enjin kereta seperti biasa.\n\n\n3. Jenis Minyak Hitam Kereta\n\n\nSecara amnya, setiap jenis minyak hitam kereta mempunyai kelebihan dan kelemahan yang tersendiri. Oleh sebab itu, kenal pasti minyak hitam yang sesuai digunakan oleh kenderaan anda dan ambil kira faktor-faktor lain seperti tahap kelikatan minyak enjin, ketahanan terhadap suhu dan endapan (\nsludge\n), had tempoh ketahanan dan lain-lain sebelum membuat keputusan. CARSOME menyenaraikan tiga (3) jenis minyak hitam yang biasa dijual dipasaran untuk panduan anda seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. \nMineral Engine Oil\n (Minyak Hitam Mineral)\n\n\nMinyak hitam mineral atau turut dikenali sebagai\n motor oil \nmerupakan minyak mentah petroleum (minyak galian) yang ditapis. Kebiasaannya, minyak hitam mineral tidak tahan lama kerana tiada sebarang formula tambahan (bahan-bahan aditif lain) dimasukkan dalam minyak enjin jenis ini. Harga tukar minyak hitam kereta (harga minyak hitam mineral) adalah lebih murah berbanding harga minyak hitam yang lain;\n\n\n2. \nSemi-Synthetic Engine Oil\n (Minyak Hitam Semi Sintetik)\n\n\nMinyak hitam semi sintetik pula merujuk campuran antara minyak asas sintetik (tidak melebihi 30 peratus) dan minyak asas mineral. Minyak hitam semi sintetik secara amnya berfungsi memberikan perlindungan enjin yang lebih baik dan dikatakan lebih tahan lama berbanding penggunaan minyak hitam mineral;\n\n\n3. \nFully Synthetic Engine Oil\n (Minyak Hitam \nFully Synthetic\n)\n\n\nMinyak hitam \nfully synthetic\n (sintetik penuh) pula dihasilkan daripada dua (2) komponen iaitu \npolyalphaolefins\n dan\n ester\n yang digabungkan bersama bahan-bahan aditif lain. Minyak hitam \nfully synthetic\n dapat bertahan lebih lama, selari dengan harga tukar minyak hitam jenis ini yang dikatakan lebih mahal berbanding harga minyak enjin yang lain.\n\n\n4. Kelikatan Minyak Enjin\n\n\nSemasa membandingkan minyak hitam enjin terbaik, anda mungkin perasan terdapat kod unik (gabungan nombor dan huruf) pada label pembungkusan. Secara amnya, kod-kod ini merujuk tahap kelikatan minyak enjin dan ukuran ketahanan minyak enjin. Biasanya, terdapat dua nombor yang menentukan tahap kelikatan minyak enjin:\n\n\n\n\nNombor pertama yang berakhir dengan huruf \u2018W\u2019 merujuk aliran minyak hitam dalam suhu sejuk (\nwinter\n) \u2013 ketika enjin dihidupkan;\n\n\nNombor kedua pula merujuk aliran minyak hitam ketika suhu operasi normal.\n\n\n\n\nKelikatan minyak enjin yang nipis dan rendah mengalir dengan lebih mudah untuk melindungi bahagian enjin pada suhu yang lebih sejuk. Manakala, kelikatan minyak enjin yang tebal dan tinggi berkesan melindungi enjin dengan lebih baik pada suhu yang lebih tinggi. Secara teknikal, kelikatan minyak enjin yang ideal bergantung pada model kereta anda. Anda boleh merujuk manual pemilik yang disediakan oleh pengeluar kereta anda untuk info lanjut.\n\n\nApa Minyak Hitam yang Sesuai untuk Kereta Mengikut Tahun Penggunaan?\n\n\nIni merupakan persoalan biasa yang sering ditanya oleh pemilik kenderaan. Secara amnya, kereta lebih 10 tahun atau kereta lama memerlukan minyak enjin dengan kelikatan yang lebih tinggi seperti 10W-40. Ini kerana, komponen kereta lama berpotensi untuk mengalami banyak perubahan (komponen longgar dan sebagainya) disebabkan oleh banyak pergerakan berbanding kereta baharu. Perubahan ini secara tidak langsung menyebabkan enjin memerlukan minyak enjin yang lebih likat bagi menjaga kelancaran enjin dan memainkan fungsinya secara menyeluruh dengan lebih baik.\n\n\nKelikatan minyak enjin yang lebih tinggi berupaya melindungi komponen dalaman kereta berusia lebih 10 tahun dengan lebih baik berbanding minyak enjin berkelikatan rendah. Justeru itu, anda disarankan untuk menggunakan minyak enjin berkelikatan tinggi yang lebih sesuai untuk kereta lebih 10 tahun.\n\n\n5. Standard Pensijilan Minyak Hitam\n\n\nSelain itu, minyak pelincir juga dilengkapi dengan standard pensijilan minyak enjin yang ditunjukkan menggunakan akronim berbeza seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\nAPI (\nAmerican Petroleum Institute\n);\n\n\nACEA (\nEuropean Automobile Manufacturers Association\n);\n\n\nILSAC (\nInternational Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee\n); dan\n\n\nJASO (\nJapanese Automotive Standards Organization\n).\n\n\n\n\nStandard pensijilan ini menunjukkan bahawa minyak pelincir yang dijual telah memenuhi atau melepasi standard pensijilan yang telah ditetapkan. Selain itu, standard pensijilan ini juga merupakan salah satu jaminan prestasi dan kualiti minyak hitam yang dihasilkan.\n\n\n\n\nHarga Tukar Minyak Hitam Kereta 2022\n\n\nMinyak enjin kereta perlu digantikan secara berkala bagi memastikan prestasi enjin berada pada tahap yang optimum. Secara amnya, tempoh tukar minyak hitam kereta yang ideal adalah sekurang-kurangnya setiap 5,000km atau setiap enam bulan. Anda disarankan untuk merujuk manual pemilik atau dapatkan nasihat daripada mekanik bagi mendapatkan gambaran jelas tempoh tukar minyak kereta yang sesuai. Berikut merupakan panduan jenis minyak hitam, minyak enjin terbaik termasuk harga tukar minyak hitam kereta untuk rujukan anda.\n\n\n1. Minyak Hitam Semi Sintentik CASTROL Magnatec 10W-40 SN/CF (\nSemi-Synthetic Engine Oil\n)\n\n\nMinyak enjin jenis ini sesuai digunakan untuk model kenderaan tempatan seperti \nPerodua Myvi\n dan \nPerodua Alza\n. Ia berkesan melindungi enjin supaya tahan lebih lama dan memastikan komponen enjin tidak mudah rosak. Secara amnya, minyak hitam Perodua ini diformulasikan dengan teknologi sintetik untuk meningkatkan perlindungan pada enjin dalam apa jua suhu dan gaya pemanduan.\n\n\nHarga minyak hitam Perodua Myvi misalnya dijual pada harga antara RM82 hingga RM142 dalam platform jualan dalam talian.\n\n\n2. Minyak Hitam\n Fully Synthetic\n Honda SN 0W-30 (\nEngine Oil Fully Synthetic\n)\n\n\nMinyak hitam jenis ini pula sesuai digunakan untuk semua \nmodel kereta Honda\n. Kualiti minyak hitam ini diperakui dan mendapat kelulusan daripada bahagian Honda Research & Development (R&D) di Jepun. Minyak hitam Honda jenis ini dikatakan berkesan dalam memberi perlindungan enjin yang maksimum. Selain itu, ia juga berpotensi meningkatkan jangka hayat enjin Honda berbanding penggunaan minyak hitam biasa.\n\n\nHarga minyak hitam Honda ini dijual pada harga antara RM97 hingga RM140 dalam platform jualan dalam talian. Anda juga boleh merujuk senarai penuh harga minyak hitam kereta terbaik yang dijual di pasaran \ndi sini\n.\n\n\n\n\nSemoga perkongsian mengenai minyak pelincir atau minyak enjin ini dapat membantu anda memilih minyak enjin terbaik untuk kenderaan anda.

Rak stereng ataupun \nsteering rack\n merupakan satu set komponen rak dan pinan (\npinion\n) yang berfungsi menukarkan input daripada stereng kepada gerakan tayar. Disebabkan ia melibatkan pergerakan kereta, rak stereng ini sangat-sangat penting bagi memastikan pergerakan kereta yang lancar.\u00a0\n\n\nSama seperti komponen kereta yang lain, ia boleh menjadi rosak dan menyukarkan pergerakan kereta disebabkan tidak diselenggara dengan betul ataupun komponen tersebut telah haus dan rosak.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKerosakan rak stereng ini jika dibiarkan, kereta anda boleh hilang kawalan dan seterusnya menyebabkan kemalangan kereta. Disebabkan itulah, jika anda merasakan sesuatu yang tidak kena pada kawalan kereta anda, berkemungkinan besar ia disebabkan kerosakan pada rak stereng.\u00a0\n\n\nSelain itu, ada juga beberapa tanda yang boleh menjadi tanda bahawa rak stereng kereta anda telah rosak. Jika ada antara tanda-tanda ini terjadi semasa anda sedang memandu, terus bawa kereta anda ke \nbengkel kereta terdekat\n!\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nOri atau Palsu? Macam Mana Nak Bezakan Alat Ganti yang Anda Beli?\n\n\nJika kejadian-kejadian seperti ini berlaku, berkemungkinan besar ia merupakan tanda \nsteering rack\n rosak:\u00a0\n\n\n1. Stereng Jadi Berat\u00a0\n\n\nKetika anda sedang memandu, apabila anda memusingkan stereng kereta, ia terasa sangat berat dan anda perlu menggunakan banyak tenaga hanya untuk memusingkan stereng kereta. Seolah-olah stereng anda telah tersangkut pada sesuatu.\u00a0\n\n\nAda kalanya, stereng menjadi berat apabila dipusing ke arah kanan dan juga kiri. Tetapi, boleh jadi juga stereng sukar untuk dipusingkan hanya pada salah satu belah sahaja.\u00a0\n\n\nSepatutnya rak stereng membolehkan anda menukar laluan kereta dengan mudah dan anda tak perlu sampai nak \u2018bergusti\u2019 hanya semata-mata untuk menukar laluan kereta. Mungkin dengan video di bawah boleh memberi gambaran apa yang dimaksudkan dengan stereng kereta terasa berat:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n2. Kebocoran Bendalir/Minyak\n\n\nIni merupakan antara tanda yang paling senang untuk dikenal pasti iaitu ada kebocoran berlaku di bawah kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nJika anda periksa di bawah kereta pada bahagian rak stereng ada bendalir yang keluar daripadanya, berkemungkinan besar ada kebocoran cecair stereng kuasa telah terjadi.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: Kinon Garaj\n\n\nWalau bagaimanapun, ia cuma satu kemungkinan kerana kebocoran yang anda lihat itu mungkin bendalir lain seperti minyak enjin. Jadi, adalah lebih baik untuk anda terus bawa kereta anda untuk diperiksa untuk mengelakkan masalah yang lebih teruk berlaku di masa akan datang.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nJenis Minyak Hitam Kereta Terbaik, Harga Tukar Minyak Hitam Kereta\n\n\n3. Stereng Tidak Kembali Ke Kedudukan Asal Selepas Dipusingkan\u00a0\n\n\nAnda sedang memandu dan ingin menukar laluan. Anda memusingkan stereng kereta dan perasan yang stereng kereta anda tidak berpusing kembali ke posisinya yang asal seperti yang sepatutnya. Stereng tetap pada kedudukan terakhir selepas anda memusingkannya seperti ini:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAnda terpaksa memusingkan kembali stereng kereta menggunakan tangan anda secara manual. Ada juga stereng yang akan berpusing kembali tetapi hanya pada kedudukan pukul 9 atau 3.\u00a0\n\n\nNampak macam remeh kan tapi ini sebenarnya sangat berbahaya terutama sekali jika ia berlaku ketika anda memandu laju di lebuh raya. Terleka sedikit, bala bencana menanti anda!\u00a0\n\n\n4. Bunyi Berkeriut dan Berdentang Semasa Memandu\u00a0\n\n\nBunyi yang dihasilkan akan kedengaran datang dari bawah kereta. Bunyi yang dihasilkan tidak berterusan. Ia akan berbunyi sekali sebelum jeda sebentar dan begitulah seterusnya. Macam mana bunyinya itu? Begini:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBagi kerosakan pada rak stereng, ianya seperti dalam video di atas. Bunyi sekali yang disusuli jeda dan stereng berbunyi kembali.\u00a0\n\n\nWalau bagaimanapun, jika nak nilai kerosakan berdasarkan bunyi saja pun tidak boleh kerana bunyi yang anda dengar berkemungkinan hanya disebabkan oleh komponen yang longgar dan lain-lain sebab.\n\n\n5. Bau Minyak Terbakar\u00a0\n\n\nAntara tanda lain kerosakan rak stereng ialah ada bau seperti minyak terbakar di dalam ruang kereta semasa pemanduan.\u00a0\n\n\nIni disebabkan oleh minyak stereng kuasa yang menjadi terlalu panas kerana suhu kotak gear stereng meningkat. Ini sangat berbahaya kerana ia boleh menjadi punca kebakaran kereta!\u00a0\n\n\nJika ini terjadi semasa anda sedang memandu, cari tempat yang selamat dan sesuai untuk berhenti. Tunggu sehingga kotak gear menyejuk sedikit dan teruskan perjalanan mencari bengkel kereta terdekat supaya kereta anda boleh diperiksa.\u00a0\n\n\n6. Stereng Berpusing Sendiri\u00a0\n\n\nAnda baru saja hidupkan kereta dan tiba-tiba stereng kereta anda berpusing tak tentu hala! Seolah-olah kereta anda dirasuk hantu kerana stereng bergerak sendiri.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nUntuk masalah ini, jangan cari ustaz atau bomoh tetapi terus tunda ke bengkel terdekat. Jangan berani untuk memandu dalam keadaan stereng yang berpusing sebegini melainkan anda nak pergelangan tangan anda terseliuh ataupun patah semasa memandu!\u00a0\n\n\nJangan Abaikan Kalau Tanda-tanda Ini Terjadi Kepada Anda!\u00a0\n\n\nJika mana-mana tanda \nsteering rack\n rosak ini terjadi, anda sepatutnya terus bawa untuk diperiksa oleh mekanik bertauliah. Jika kerosakan ini diabaikan, dikhuatiri ia akan menyebabkan kerosakan yang lebih teruk nanti.\u00a0\n\n\nBukan hanya menyebabkan kerosakan yang lebih teruk pada kereta, kerosakan-kerosakan ini juga boleh menjadi punca kemalangan yang boleh mengancam nyawa pemandu dan penumpang!\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, kalau anda perasan sesuatu yang tidak tak kena pada kereta anda, jangan abaikannya!\u00a0\n\n\nTakut Kena Scam? Pergi Saja Ke Pusat Servis CARSOME!\u00a0\n\n\nNak bawa kereta pergi bengkel tapi takut kena tipu?

Ia berfungsi mengurangkan kadar pelepasan bahan kimia ke udara selari dengan standard yang ditetapkan oleh sesebuah negara sekali gus mengelakkan pencemaran alam sekitar dan kesan berbahaya kepada nyawa manusia. Namun begitu, ramai dalam kalangan pemilik kereta yang tidak mengambil berat tentang penjagaan sistem ekzos kereta. Ia secara tidak langsung menyebabkan sistem ekzos kereta menjadi bocor, rosak dan bermasalah.\u00a0Kebocoran sistem ekzos boleh menjejaskan kesihatan dan membahayakan nyawa pemandu dan penumpang sekiranya dihidu secara berterusan sepanjang pemanduan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIsi Kandungan\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSimptom Ekzos Kereta Bocor dan Bermasalah\n\n\nTip Penjagaan Ekzos Kereta\n\n\n5 Warna Asap Kereta dan Punca Kerosakan\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSimptom Ekzos Kereta Bocor dan Bermasalah\n\n\n\nPengetahuan mengenai masalah kebocoran sistem ekzos boleh membantu mengelakkan insiden-insiden yang tidak diingini daripada berlaku yang boleh membahayakan nyawa dan kesihatan. Jika anda mengesan tanda-tanda kerosakan atau kebocoran ini pada sistem ekzos kereta anda, segera dapatkan bantuan dan nasihat pakar untuk pemeriksaan dan pembaikan.\n\n\n1. Bunyi Kuat atau Pelik pada Bahagian Sistem Ekzos\n\n\nJika anda mendapati terdapat bunyi yang lebih kuat daripada biasa dihasilkan pada bahagian ekzos, anda disarankan untuk memeriksa sistem ekzos untuk mengetahui sebarang kerosakan atau kebocoran. Kereta yang mengalami kebocoran ekzos biasanya akan menghasilkan bunyi yang kuat terutamanya semasa memecut. Lazimnya, bunyi yang terhasil berbeza mengikut saiz kebocoran\u2013biasanya kebocoran kecil menghasilkan bunyi seperti siualan atau angin, manakal kebocoran besar menghasilkan bunyi yang lebih kuat seperti bunyi motobot.\n\n\nNamun begitu, simptom bunyi ini sukar untuk dikesan kerana sistem ekzos dan sistem lain kenderaan menghasilkan bunyi-bunyi tertentu semasa beroperasi. Namun begitu, jika anda mengesan sebarang bunyi yang berbeza daripada kebiasaan, segera dapatkan bantuan dan pemeriksaan lanjut.\n\n\nBagaimana Kenal Pasti Bunyi Ekzos Bocor?\n\n\nSecara amnya, ekzos kereta yang bocor akan menghasilkan bunyi berdesis (\nhissing\u2013\nbunyi seperti gas bocor) atau ketak-ketik (\ntapping\u2013\nbunyi seperti hujan jatuh di atas atap rumah). Biasanya, bunyi ini terhasil lebih kuat semasa enjin dalam keadaan sejuk atau semasa anda memecut kenderaan.\n\n\n2. Kecekapan Bahan Api Menurun\n\n\nSistem ekzos memerlukan nisbah kandungan bahan api dan udara yang betul untuk menghasilkan tahap kecekapan bahan api yang bersesuaian. Jika berlaku kebocoran dalam sistem ekzos, ia secara tidak langsung akan menyebabkan prestasi enjin merosot sekali gus meningkatkan penggunaan bahan api. Ini kerana, lebih banyak bahan api diperlukan untuk mencapai tekanan yang betul untuk memberikan tenaga yang diperlukan oleh kenderaan.\n\n\n3. Kuasa Pecutan Berkurangan\n\n\nKebocoran sistem ekzos terutamanya pada bahagian \nmanifold\n ekzos secara tidak langsung boleh merosakkan injap dan seperti dinyatakan di atas, akan meningkatkan penggunaan bahan api\u2013menyebabkan kuasa enjin berkurangan. Ini kerana, enjin kehilangan lebih banyak kuasa dan menyebabkan kuasa enjin menjadi lemau sekali gus mengurangkan kuasa pecutan enjin sesebuah kenderaan.\n\n\n4. Gegaran pada Pedal Minyak\n\n\nJika berlaku gegaran pada bahagian pedal minyak kereta anda\u2013besar kemungkinan bahagian ekzos kereta anda bocor. Lazimnya, gegaran pada bahagian pedal minyak adalah disebabkan oleh kebocoran paip ekzos dan berkadar langsung dengan saiz kebocoran paip ekzos. Dalam erti kata lain, semakin besar saiz kebocoran, semakin teruk gegaran yang dialami oleh pemandu. Jika simptom dibiarkan, gegaran ini boleh bertambah buruk dan menyebabkan bahagian stereng dan lantai kereta turut mengalami situasi yang sama.\n\n\n5. Bau Asap dalam Kabin\n\n\nJika sistem ekzos kereta anda mengalami masalah atau kebocoran, anda boleh mengenalpastinya melalui bau yang dihasilkan. Gas yang terbebas ke udara yang memasuki ruang kabin seperti gas karbon dioksida (CO2) menghasilkan bau yang tidak menyenangkan. Namun begitu, jika ekzos kereta anda mengalami kebocoran gas karbon monosikda (CO) \u2013 situasi sebegini perlu dibimbangkan. Berbeza dengan gas karbon dioksida, gas karbon monoksida tidak tidak berwarna, tidak berbau dan tanpa rasa.\n\n\nSecara amnya, \nkeracunan karbon monoksida\n adalah kes keracunan udara yang menyebabkan maut yang paling biasa berlaku di kebanyakan negara. Gas karbon monoksida yang tinggi dalam udara akibat kebocoran ekzos akan menurunkan kandungan oksigen dalam kenderaan dan mengakibatkan darah membawa lebih banyak karbon monoksida. Ia secara tidak langsung boleh menyebabkan kematian secara tiba-tiba atau \nsudden death\n.\n\n\nOleh itu, anda disarankan untuk sentiasa periksa sistem ekzos kenderaan anda di pusat pemeriksaan bertauliah secara berkala bagi memastikan sistem ekzos berada dalam keadaan baik dan selamat.\n\n\n\n\nTip Penjagaan Ekzos Kereta\n\n\n\nKebanyakan pemilik kereta kurang memberikan perhatian terhadap penjagaan sistem ekzos. Oleh sebab itu, Carsome menyediakan tips dan panduan penjagaan berikut untuk rujukan anda:\n\n\n\n\nLakukan pemeriksaan sekurang-kurangnya setiap tiga bulan mengenal pasti sebarang kerosakan atau kebocoran pada bahagian ekzos kereta;\n\n\nPemeriksaan boleh dilakukan sendiri dengan menggunakan tangan untuk mengesan sama ada terdapat angin yang keluar saluran ekzos. Namun begitu, amalkan langkah berjaga-jaga untuk mengelakkan tangan daripada terkena bahagian ekzos yang panas;\n\n\nJika kebocoran berlaku di bahagian gasket penyambung blok enjin, anda disarankan untuk menggantikan terus komponen tersebut. Gasket boleh rosak disebabkan perubahan suhu panas dan sejuk. Secara amnya, jangka hayat gasket kereta mampu bertahan selama lima hingga 20 tahun bergantung pada keadaan dan penggunaan;\n\n\nJika kebocoran kecil berlaku di bahagian lain, anda boleh mengimpalnya untuk membaikinya. Namun begitu, anda disarankan untuk menukar keseluruhan sistem ekzos jika lubang kebocoran terlalu besar untuk mengelakkan pembaziran bahan api.\n\n\n\n\nSelain dapat mengenal pasti simptom kebocoran ekzos, anda juga boleh mengetahui kerosakan komponen kereta melalui warna asap kereta yang dikeluarkan daripada ekzos. Pengetahuan mengenai jenis warna asap dan punca masalah dapat membantu mengelakkan kerosakan yang lebih serius berlaku pada kereta anda.\n\n\n5 Warna Asap Kereta dan Punca Kerosakan\n\n\n\nSelain\n penyelenggaraan kereta secara berkala\n, anda juga boleh mengenal pasti kerosakan yang berlaku pada kereta anda dengan memerhatikan warna asap yang keluar daripada ekzos kereta anda. Warna asap yang keluar daripada saluran ekzos secara tidak langsung memberi petunjuk dan gambaran awal kerosakan komponen kereta.\n\n\n1. Asap Kereta Tidak Berwarna, Sedikit Kebiruan\n\n\nJika asap kereta anda tidak menghasilkan sebarang warna atau berwarna sedikit kebiruan, anda secara lazimnya boleh menarik nafas lega. Ini kerana, ia menunjukkan proses pembakaran dalam enjin berlaku dengan baik dengan nisbah perbandingan campuran udara dan petrol yang tepat.\n\n\n2. Kereta Keluar Asap Hitam\n\n\nBagi kereta dengan enjin diesel, kereta keluar asap hitam merupakan situasi normal. Namun begitu, bagi kereta dengan enjin petrol, asap berwarna hitam menandakan proses pembakaran dalam enjin berlaku dengan tidak sempurna\u2013kekurangan udara dalam ruang enjin yang secara tidak langsung menyebabkan lebih banyak bahan api diperlukan untuk proses pembakaran. Jika situasi ini berlaku kepada anda, periksa penapis udara kereta anda kerana ia mungkin tersumbat, injap udara kereta tertutup, terdapat kerosakan pada karburator atau injektor bahan api mengalami kerosakan.\n\n\n3. Kereta Keluar Asap Putih\n\n\nAsap berwarna putih merupakan situasi yang biasa berlaku semasa menghidupkan kereta pada waktu pagi disebabkan oleh kehadiran wap air. Namun demikian, terdapat situasi kereta mengeluarkan asap putih kerana minyak pelincir telah memasuki kebuk pembakaran atau disebabkan oleh kerosakan pada bahagian enjin kereta anda. Meskipun kedua-duanya mengeluarkan asap putih\u2013terdapat perbezaan yang ketara antara asap putih yang disebabkan oleh wap air dan minyak pelincir. Biasanya, asap putih tebal yang terhasil akibat kebocoran minyak pelincir menghasilkan bau tertentu.\n\n\nSelain itu, asap kereta berwarna putih turut menandakan kerosakan pada gasket silinder atau piston yang sudah haus. Bagi kereta dengan enjin diesel pula, asap berwarna putih pekat menandakan sistem pembakaran kereta tidak berfungsi secara optimum. Oleh itu, anda disarankan untuk menghantar kenderaan anda ke bengkel berhampiran untuk pemeriksaan lanjut jika situasi-situasi sebegini berlaku kepada anda. Ia juga boleh mengelakkan anda daripada menanggung kerosakan yang lebih serius yang menelan belanja yang lebih besar.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nTanda-tanda Enjin Kereta Anda Mungkin Perlu Overhaul\n\n\n4. Kereta Keluar Asap Biru\n\n\nAsap berwarna biru yang keluar daripada ekzos kereta menandakan masalah yang berkaitan dengan enjin\u2013enjin kereta sedang membakar minyak hitam akibat kerosakan kedap injap atau disebabkan oleh gelang piston yang telah haus. Sekiranya asap berwarna biru keluar semasa kereta sedang memecut, ia menunjukkan gelang piston mengalami kerosakan yang berpunca daripada kepala silinder. Masalah sebegini biasa berlaku dalam kalangan kereta yang sudah berusia, aspek penjagaan kereta yang diabaikan dan kereta dengan bacaan \nmileage\n yang tinggi. Lakukan penyelenggaraan dengan segera sebagai langkah pencegahan untuk mengelakkan kerosakan yang lebih serius.\n\n\n5. Kereta Keluar Asap Kelabu\n\n\nSelain asap berwarna biru, putih atau hitam\u2013kereta keluar asap kelabu turut menandakan terdapat masalah pada komponen tertentu kereta anda. Meskipun asap berwarna kelabu bukanlah sesuatu yang biasa berlaku, ia menandakan enjin kereta anda membakar minyak gear atau minyak transmisi daripada silinder atau terdapat kerosakan pada gelang piston. Selain itu, sekiranya anda dapat menghidu bau asap seakan-akan terbakar, ia juga menunjukkan komponen pengecasan turbo kereta anda mengalami masalah. Lakukan pembaikan dengan segera untuk mengelakkan kos pembaikan yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\n\n\nBeri perhatian terhadap aspek penjagaan kereta anda dan pastikan anda tidak mengabaikan tanda-tanda yang mungkin membantu anda mengenal pasti sebarang masalah atau kerosakan pada kereta anda. Jika tidak pasti, bawa kereta anda ke bengkel yang boleh dipercayai untuk menyelenggara dan memeriksa kereta anda.

Sekiranya anda mendapati kuasa pecutan kereta anda berkurangan tidak seperti kebiasaan, ia mungkin disebabkan oleh\n spark plug \nkereta rosak yang perlu digantikan.\n\n\nNamun begitu, anda disarankan untuk merujuk mekanik anda untuk pemeriksaan lanjut. Adakalanya, masalah kuasa pecutan kereta berkurangan turut berlaku disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor lain termasuk penapis bahan api yang rosak, penyuntik bahan api yang kotor atau tersumbat atau masalah pada sensor oksigen.\n\n\n2. Kereta Kuat Makan Minyak\n\n\nSpark plug\n kereta yang berada dalam keadaan baik membantu membakar bahan api dengan lebih cekap dalam kitaran pembakaran. Ia sekali gus memberikan purata penjimatan bahan api yang lebih baik. Sekiranya kenderaan anda mengalami peningkatan penggunaan bahan api, ia mungkin disebabkan oleh \nspark plug\n yang sudah rosak. Proses pembakaran enjin yang tidak sempurna boleh menyebabkan peningkatan penggunaan bahan api yang lebih ketara. Kebiasaannya, enjin memerlukan sekitar 20 hingga 30 peratus lebih bahan api jika\n spark plug\n tidak berfungsi dengan baik.\n\n\n3. Enjin Kereta Tersedu-sedu, Semput\n\n\nEnjin kereta tersedu-sedu atau semput (\nmisfire\n) biasanya berlaku disebabkan oleh masalah dalam sistem pencucuhan. Ia disebabkan oleh cetusan pada enjin kereta yang terputus-putus yang terjadi dalam silinder disebabkan campuran udara dan bahan api yang tidak tercucuh secara selanjar. Dalam kebanyakan kereta moden, masalah ini biasanya berlaku disebabkan oleh kegagalan sistem sensor.\n\n\nNamun begitu, ia juga boleh terjadi disebabkan oleh wayar atau sambungan \nspark plug\n kereta yang sudah usang atau rosak. Sekiranya situasi sebegini dibiarkan, pengeluaran ekzos akan meningkat dan mungkin akan menjejaskan pretasi dan kuasa enjin serta ekonomi bahan api.\n\n\n4. Kuasa Enjin Bertambah, Berkurang Secara Tiba-tiba\n\n\nSelain itu, anda mungkin mendapati kuasa enjin kereta akan tiba-tiba bertambah sebelum bertukar perlahan dengan tiba-tiba semasa memecut. Situasi ini berlaku kerana enjin kereta menyedut lebih banyak udara semasa proses pembakaran melebihi amaun yang diperlukan. Ia sekali gus menyebabkan kelewatan dalam penghantaran kuasa kepada enjin kereta. Masalah sebegini menandakan masalah kerosakan serius pada \nspark plug\n.\n\n\n5. Enjin Kereta Bunyi Kasar\n\n\nJika anda menyedari\n enjin kereta bunyi kasar, bunyi \nknocking\n atau enjin kereta bunyi bersiul\n terutamanya semasa kereta berada dalam keadaan pegun (tidak bergerak), ia mungkin menandakan \nspark plug\n kereta rosak. Biasanya, masalah enjin kereta berbunyi kasar sebegini turut menyebabkan kereta bergegar. Ia berlaku disebabkan pembakaran bahan api yang tidak sekata dan sempurna menyebabkan enjin kereta bergegar selepas dihidupkan.\n\n\n6. Kereta Boleh \nStart\n Tapi Tak Hidup\n\n\nSekiranya anda menghadapi masalah untuk \nstart\n kereta anda tapi tak hidup, ia mungkin menandakan palam pencucuh atau\n spark plug\n kereta rosak dan perlu digantikan. Sistem enjin kereta terdiri daripada beberapa komponen individu yang berfungsi secara kolektif dalam memastikan enjin kereta berfungsi dengan baik. Jika salah satu daripada komponen ini rosak, ia mungkin menjejaskan prestasinya.\n\n\nJika kereta boleh\n start\n tapi tak hidup, anda disarankan untuk menghubungi mekanik anda untuk memeriksa kereta anda. Biasanya, masalah pada \nspark plug\n boleh menyebabkan enjin kereta susah\n start\n terutamanya pada waktu pagi dan memaksa anda untuk memulas \nkunci kereta\n \nbeberapa kali untuk enjin benar-benar hidup.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nKereta Tak Boleh\n Start\n? Jangan Panik, 5 Punca Kereta Tak Boleh Start Yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\n\n\nHarga\n Spark Plug\n Kereta: Kos Penggantian \nSpark Plug\n Kereta Rosak\n\n\nSecara amnya, kos penggantian atau harga \nspark plug\n kereta adalah sekitar RM20 hingga RM100 dalam pasaran bergantung pada kuantiti\n spark plug\n yang diperlukan, model kenderaan dan kos buruh. Harga \nspark plug\n di kedai alat ganti kereta untuk \nProton Saga\n \ncontohnya dijual dalam lingkungan harga RM26/set. Namun begitu, harga ini juga bergantung pada jenis \nspark plug\n yang dipilih.\n\n\nJenis-jenis Palam Pencucuh Kereta\n\n\nBerikut merupakan antara jenis-jenis \nspark plug\n kereta yang sering digunakan oleh kebanyakan pemilik kenderaan:\n\n\n1. Palam Pencucuh Jenis Tembaga/Nikel\n\n\nIa juga dikenali sebagai palam pencucuh standard, menampilkan teras tembaga di bahagian dalam dengan kemasan saduran aloi nikel bagi tujuan elektrod. Palam pencucuh ini berharga lebih murah dan mempunyai jangka hayat yang lebih pendek. Harga \nspark plug\n tembaga dijual pada harga sekitar RM30 atau mungkin lebih tinggi (bergantung pada model kenderaan anda).\n\n\n2. Palam Pencucuh Jenis Platinum Tunggal\n\n\nPalam pencucuh jenis ini merupakan salah satu \nspark plug\n kereta paling popular dalam kalangan pemilik kenderaan. Ia menampilkan platinum sebagai elektrod, sejenis logam mahal dan dikatakan memberikan tekstur yang lebih keras berbanding nikel. Ia mempunyai jangka hayat yang lebih baik dan lebih ringan berbanding palam pencucuh standard. Harga \nspark plug\n platinum tunggal dijual pada harga sekitar RM40 dan ke atas bergantung pada model kenderaan anda.\n\n\n3. Palam Pencucuh Jenis Dwiplatinum\n\n\nPalam pencucuh\n double platinum\n ini memaksimumkan penggunaan platinum pada kedua-dua bahagian teras dan dasar. Ia dikatakan lebih mahal berbanding palam pencucuh jenis platinum tunggal dan nikel, setanding dengan prestasi dan kualiti yang ditawarkan.\n\n\n4. Palam Pencucuh Jenis Iridium\n\n\nPalam pencucuh iridium menjanjikan jangka hayat yang lebih lama. Iridium ialah sejenis logam yang lebih keras dan dikatakan lebih tahan lasak berbanding platinum. Namun begitu, palam pencucuh jenis ini biasanya dijual pada harga yang lebih mahal, tetapi berbaloi dari segi penggunaan \u2013 tahan tiga kali ganda lebih lama berbanding palam pencucuh biasa. Harga \nspark plug\n iridium dijual pada harga antara RM50 hingga RM150 bergantung pada model kenderaan anda.\n\n\nSecara amnya, penjagaan, penyelenggaraan dan penggantian \nspark plug\n atau palam pencucuh secara proaktif dapat memanjangkan jangka hayat enjin kenderaan anda. Ia penting bagi memastikan komponen lain dalam enjin kereta sentiasa berada dalam keadaan baik.

Tapi kan, anda sedar tak apa akan jadi kalau bayaran bulanan untuk kereta idaman anda tu dah terlebih daripada bajet anda?\u00a0\n\n\nBaru-baru ni, para netizen gempar apabila seorang lelaki mendakwa permohonan pinjamannya untuk membeli sebuah Perodua Alza model baharu telah diluluskan dengan bayaran bulanan lebih daripada RM900/bulan. Lagi mengejutkan apabila pendapatannya cuma RM1,500 sebulan. Itu bermakna dia dah belanjakan lebih 60 peratus gajinya untuk bayar ansuran keretanya!\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nBelanjawan Bijak: Membeli Kereta Keluarga Pertama Anda\n\n\nKalau bayaran ansuran bulanan kereta lebih 30 peratus daripada gaji anda, itu sangat-sangat tidak sihat untuk kewangan anda.\u00a0 Kalau anda nak tahu, ini merupakan antara tips boleh digunakan untuk merancang bayaran ansuran bulanan kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nLebihkan Bayaran Deposit\u00a0\n\n\nBayaran deposit yang lebih banyak boleh mengurangkan bayaran ansuran bulanan. Katakanlah anda bayar deposit sekurang-kurangnya 20 peratus, ia akan mengurangkan bayaran bulanan untuk masa yang akan datang jadi dah tak banyak hutang yang anda kena bayar.\u00a0\n\n\nSebagai contoh, katakanlah anda nak beli Perodua \nAlza 1.5L AV D-CVT yang baharu. Berdasarkan laman web rasmi Perodua, harganya adalah RM75,500. Kalau anda bayar deposit sebanyak 10 peratus iaitu RM7,550 dengan tempoh pinjaman selama 7 tahun dan kadar faedah sebanyak 3.5 peratus, bayaran bulanan anda adalah sebanyak RM1,007.\u00a0\n\n\nTapi kalau bayar deposit sebanyak 20 peratus iaitu sebanyak RM15,100 dengan tempoh pinjaman selama 7 tahun dan kadar faedah 3.5 peratus, bayaran ansuran bulanan akan jatuh kepada RM895. Kat situ anda dah jimat sebanyak RM112 sebulan untuk bayaran ansuran kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\nGuna Peraturan 20/7/20 Untuk Tahu Jumlah Ansuran Yang Anda Boleh Bayar\n\n\nSatu lagi cara untuk anda tahu jumlah ansuran bulanan yang sesuai dengan bajet anda adalah dengan gunakan peraturan 20/7/20.\u00a0\n\n\nIni caranya untuk anda gunakan peraturan 20/7/20:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBayaran deposit 20 peratus\n: Biasanya bayaran deposit untuk beli kereta adalah sebanyak 10 peratus tetapi kalau anda boleh bayar 20 peratus deposit, bayaran bulanan anda akan jadi lebih rendah.\u00a0\n\n\nTempoh Pinjaman 7 tahun\n: Tempoh pinjaman 9 tahun nampak macam menarik tapi sebenarnya kalau kita tambahkan semua bayaran faedah, anda sebenarnya bayar lebih banyak daripada yang sepatutnya. Kerana itulah lebih baik kalau anda boleh buat pinjaman untuk tempoh tujuh atau lima tahun kalau anda mampu.\u00a0\n\n\nBayaran ansuran cuma 20 peratus daripada gaji bulanan\n: Pastikan bayaran ansuran bulanan kereta anda tak lebih 20 peratus daripada gaji bulanan anda. Ini penting untuk kewangan dan juga untuk kekalkan skor kredit anda.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKalau anda nak lagi faham, jom kita tengok pilihan pembiayaan untuk model terpakai Perodua Alza SE 1.5 daripada Carsome yang berharga RM46,400. Dengan deposit 20 peratus sebanyak RM9,253 dengan tempoh pinjaman selama 7 tahun, bayaran bulanannya cuma sebanyak RM551.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKalau gaji anda RM3,000 sebulan, asingkan saja 20 peratus iaitu sebanyak RM600. Ini pun dah cukup untuk bayaran ansuran bulanan dan siap ada baki lagi untuk perbelanjaan lain seperti servis kereta, insurans, atau cukai jalan.\u00a0\n\n\nBayaran Lain Yang Orang Selalu Terlupa\n\n\nBila anda memiliki kereta, anda kena sentiasa bersedia untuk keluarkan duit lebih untuk bayar benda lain selain daripada bayaran ansuran bulanan seperti servis kereta, insurans, dan cukai jalan.\u00a0\n\n\n1. Pembaharuan Cukai Jalan\u00a0\n\n\nHanya kereta yang ada cukai jalan saja yang boleh dipandu di atas jalan. Bayaran cukai jalan pula berbeza mengikut jenis kenderaan, kapasiti enjin dan sama ada ia kenderaan persendirian atau kenderaan komersial.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau nak tahu lebih lanjut, anda boleh rujuk jadual berikut untuk tahu berapa banyak cukai jalan yang anda kena bayar di Malaysia:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKapasiti Enjin (CC)\n\n\nKadar Rata\n\n\nKadar Kenaikan (Mengikut CC)\n\n\nJumlah Cukai Jalan\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1,000 dan ke bawah\n\n\nRM20\n\n\n\u2013\n\n\nRM20\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1,001 \u2013 1,200\n\n\nRM55\n\n\n\u2013\n\n\nRM55\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1,201 \u2013 1,400\n\n\nRM70\n\n\n\u2013\n\n\nRM70\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1,401 \u2013 1,600\n\n\nRM90\n\n\n\u2013\n\n\nRM90\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1,601 \u2013 1,800\n\n\nRM200\n\n\nRM0.40\n\n\nRM200 \u2013 RM280\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1,801 \u2013 2,000\n\n\nRM280\n\n\nRM0.50\n\n\nRM280 \u2013 RM380\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2,001 \u2013 2,500\n\n\nRM380\n\n\nRM1.00\n\n\nRM381 \u2013 RM880\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2,501 \u2013 3,000\n\n\nRM880\n\n\nRM2.50\n\n\nRM882 \u2013 RM2,130\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3,001 dan ke atas\n\n\nRM2,130\n\n\nRM4.00\n\n\nRM2,134 dan ke atas.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKadar cukai jalan untuk kenderaan persendirian di Semenanjung Malaysia.\u00a0\n\n\nMemandu tanpa cukai jalan merupakan satu kesalahan jenayah dan anda wajib memperbaharui cukai jalan anda setiap tahun. Kegagalan untuk berbuat demikian boleh dikenakan denda sehingga RM3,000 mengikut Seksyen 14(4) Akta Pengangkutan Jalan Raya 1987.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Insurans Kereta\u00a0\n\n\nAnda tak boleh perbaharui cukai jalan kereta anda kalau kereta anda tak dilindungi insurans. Insurans merupakan keperluan wajib untuk pemilik kereta. Ada pelbagai produk insurans kereta yang boleh anda pilih tetapi sangat penting untuk pilih polisi insurans yang memberikan perlindungan terbaik bagi kenderaan anda.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda tak tahu mana satu polisi insurans yang terbaik untuk anda, CARSOME kini boleh membantu anda memilih polisi insurans yang sesuai dengan \nInsurans Motor CARSOME Capital\n.\n Kami akan bantu anda untuk membeli dan mendapatkan sebut harga insurans dengan segera serta pembaharuan cukai jalan dengan mudah.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMemandu tanpa insurans merupakan satu kesalahan jalan raya yang\u00a0 boleh dikenakan denda sehingga RM1,000 di bawah Akta Pengangkutan Jalan Raya 1987. Kalau anda terlibat dengan kemalangan, anda terpaksa bayar segala kerosakan dan rawatan menggunakan duit anda sendiri.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nBeli Kereta Baru Tapi Tak Tahu Cara Pilih Insurans Kereta Terbaik? Info Lengkap Insurans Kereta Di Sini\n\n\n3. Kos Servis Kereta\u00a0\n\n\nServis kereta secara berkala penting supaya kereta boleh sentiasa berfungsi dengan baik dan boleh bertahan lama. Ia juga untuk mengelakkan kereta anda daripada selalu rosak. Berikut merupakan contoh pengiraan anggaran kos servis kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nAmbil contoh Perodua Alza yang baharu. Berdasarkan penyenaraian harga khidmat lepas jualan Perodua, berikut merupakan kos servis penyelenggaraan bagi model tersebut:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n10,000KM\n \u2013 RM186.40\n\n\n20,000KM & 60,000KM\n \u2013 RM297.81\n\n\n30,000KM, 50,000KM, 70,000KM & 90,000KM\n \u2013 RM236.86\n\n\n40,000KM & 80,000KM\n \u2013 RM398.90\n\n\n100,000KM\n \u2013 RM633.61\n\n\n\n\nKebanyakan pengeluar kereta di Malaysia menganggarkan jarak perbatuan tahunan purata bagi seorang pemandu biasa adalah sebanyak 20,000km. Jadi, ia akan mengambil masa kira-kira 60 bulan untuk kereta anda mengikuti jadual servis penyelenggaraan berkala sehingga 100,000km.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKalau dibahagikan kos keseluruhan penyelenggaraan sebanyak RM3,160.87 dengan tempoh 60 bulan \u2013 anda perlu simpan sebanyak RM52.70 setiap bulan untuk menampung kos servis Perodua Alza. Itu belum kira lagi kos-kos alat ganti lain yang mungkin perlu ditukar seperti pad brek, tayar, tali sawat, dan macam-macam lagi.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nKereta Rosak? Kos Alat Ganti atau Spare Part Kereta yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\nKereta anda perlu diservis secara berkala untuk mengelakkan ia selalu rosak dan boleh mendatangkan bahaya kepada anda. Jadi, penting untuk anda memilih kereta yang sesuai dengan gaji untuk mengelakkan anda daripada terjebak dalam masalah kewangan di masa akan datang.\u00a0\n\n\nDiharapkan panduan ini boleh membantu anda untuk merancang bayaran ansuran bulanan bagi pembelian kereta anda nanti.\u00a0\n\n", "Amarnath", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Automotive motor problem concept.", "Sistem penyejukan kereta memainkan peranan penting dalam memastikan suhu enjin kereta sentiasa berada dalam keadaan stabil dan menghalang enjin daripada terlampau panas atau \noverheat\n. Namun begitu, jika anda mendapati enjin kereta berasap, \ntemperature\n kereta naik atau jarum pada panel meter menunjukkan bacaan terlalu tinggi, ia mungkin menandakan enjin kereta anda bermasalah dan ada sesuatu yang tidak kena pada sistem penyejukan kereta. Bagi sesetengah model kenderaan,\n lampu amaran suhu enjin\n akan menyala sekiranya sekiranya suhu dalam enjin berada pada tahap yang tinggi (jarum berada dalam zon merah).\n\n\n\n\n7 Punca \nTemperature\n Kereta Naik, Enjin Kereta \nOverheat\n\n\nSuhu enjin yang terlalu tinggi biasanya berlaku disebabkan oleh masalah atau kerosakan pada komponen enjin atau komponen sistem penyejukan itu sendiri. Kenapa \ntemperature\n kereta naik? Secara amnya, masalah enjin kereta \noverheat\n boleh berlaku disebabkan oleh beberapa masalah. Biasanya, ia berpunca daripada kerosakan komponen penting dalam sistem penyejukan seperti\n radiator kereta\n, kipas radiator, thermostat kereta, pam air (\nwater pump\n kereta), air \ncoolant\n kering dan sebagainya. Carsome menyenaraikan 7 punca \ntemperature\n kereta naik atau enjin kereta \noverheat\n untuk panduan dan rujukan anda seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Thermostat Kereta Rosak, Tidak Berfungsi\n\n\nMasalah\n temperature\n kereta naik biasanya dikaitkan dengan isu kerosakan thermostat kereta. Secara amnya, fungsi thermostat kereta adalah untuk mengawal jumlah air \ncoolant\n yang disalurkan melalui enjin. Jika thermostat kereta rosak atau tidak berfungsi dengan baik, ia boleh menyebabkan suhu enjin kereta menjadi terlalu panas. Bukaan injap terlalu kecil atau injap tidak terbuka merupakan masalah kerosakan yang biasa berlaku pada thermostat kereta.\n\n\nMasalah pada bukaan injap terlalu kecil misalnya akan menyebabkan kitaran air \ncoolant\n tersekat atau terganggu. Ia sekali gus menyebabkan amaun air \ncoolant\n yang disalurkan tidak mencukupi untuk menstabilkan suhu enjin dan mengekalkannya pada paras normal. Lama-kelamaan, ia akan menyebabkan suhu enjin menjadi terlampau panas.\n\n\n2. Kipas Radiator Rosak\n\n\nSecara amnya, kipas radiator digerakkan dengan bantuan motor elektrik \u2013 sebarang kerosakan mekanikal pada motor boleh menjejaskan fungsi kipas radiator untuk menambah aliran udara sejuk yang mencukupi melalui radiator. Kipas radiator yang rosak dan tidak berfungsi secara optimum boleh menyebabkan \ntemperature\n kereta naik dan menjadikan suhu enjin terlampau panas. Biasanya, anda akan menyedari kerosakan kipas radiator semasa kenderaan berhenti atau semasa dalam kesesakan jalan raya \u2013 aliran udara sejuk dari luar yang terhad semasa kenderaan berhenti.\n\n\nNamun biasanya, suhu enjin akan mula menurun apabila kenderaan mula bergerak. Ini kerana, aliran udara dari luar yang melalui sirip radiator mula meningkat dan menyejukkan air \ncoolant. \nBiasanya, masalah kerosakan kipas radiator boleh berlaku disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKerosakan pada motor kipas \u2013 berus karbon pada motor kipas sudah haus;\n\n\nMasalah sistem pendawaian litar motor kipas radiator;\n\n\nFius terbakar, longgar atau putus;\n\n\nKerosakan pada \nrelay\n;\n\n\nKerosakan pada suis atau sensor suhu kereta.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Masalah \nGasket Head\n Bocor\n\n\nKebocoran pada \nhead gasket\n kereta boleh mengakibatkan gas daripada silinder memasuki saluran \ncoolant\n secara berterusan ketika enjin dihidupkan. Ia sekali gus menyebabkan tekanan dalam saluran \ncoolant\n meningkat. Tekanan yang tinggi dalam saluran\n coolant\n akan menyebabkan air\n coolant\n \u2018ditendang keluar\u2019 ke dalam takungan kurung atau \nreservoir\n sehingga penuh sebelum ia disalurkan keluar. Ia mengakibatkan amaun air \ncoolant\n dalam saluran \ncoolant\n berkurangan dan berpotensi meningkatkan suhu enjin (kereta\n overheat\n).\n\n\n4. Gelembung Udara dalam Air \nCoolant\n\n\nSecara amnya, pembentukan gelembung udara (\nair bubble\n) berlaku disebabkan kebocoran gas daripada silinder yang memasuki saluran \ncoolant\n yang berpunca daripada \ngasket head\n yang bocor. Selain menyebabkan tekanan berlebihan, gelembung udara yang terperangkap pada saluran \ncoolant\n akan mengganggu proses penyejukan enjin, menyebabkan kegagalan fungsi injap dan mengakibatkan thermostat kereta gagal berfungsi. Gelembung udara yang terperangkap dalam saluran\n coolant\n biasanya terjadi selepas proses menukar air \ncoolant\n atau pengosongan saluran \ncoolant\n dilakukan. Sekiranya kereta anda berdepan masalah sebegini, anda disarankan untuk melakukan proses \nair bleeding\n atau\n purging\n selepas menggantikan air \ncoolant\n.\n\n\n5. Radiator Kereta Tersumbat, Kotor\n\n\nMasalah radiator tersumbat atau rosak biasanya berlaku disebabkan oleh mendapan karat dalam saluran radiator yang menyebabkan kitaran air \ncoolant\n dalam radiator terganggu atau tersekat. Mendapan karat dalam saluran radiator berpotensi mengurangkan kecekapan dan prestasi radiator kereta. Radiator kereta yang tersumbat boleh menjejaskan kitaran air \ncoolant\n dalam sistem penyejukan kereta dan menyebabkan suhu kereta meningkat. Ini kerana, air \ncoolant\n tidak dapat dipindahkan dengan baik ke radiator untuk menyejukkan enjin kereta.\n\n\nSelain itu, sirip radiator yang tersumbat (disebabkan oleh lumpur, serangga atau daun kering) juga berpotensi menghalang aliran udara melalui sirip radiator. Udara sejuk dari luar yang terhalang daripada memasuki ruang enjin boleh menyebabkan suhu enjin meningkat. Oleh sebab itu, pastikan sirip radiator sentiasa berada dalam keadaan baik untuk mengekalkan kecekapan dan prestasi radiator. Kegagalan komponen ini berfungsi dengan baik boleh menyebabkan \ntemperature\n kereta naik.\n\n\n6. \nWater Pump\n Kereta Rosak\n\n\nPam air atau \nwater pump\n kereta memainkan peranan penting dalam sistem penyejukan kereta. Kerosakan pada komponen kereta ini boleh menjejaskan kitaran air \ncoolant\n yang secara tidak langsung memberi kesan pada peningkatan suhu enjin (kereta \noverheat\n). Tanda \nwater pump\n rosak boleh dikenal pasti melalui bacaan suhu enjin pada tokok suhu (\ntemperature gauge\n) yang tinggi dan melepasi paras normal. Air \ncoolant\n bocor juga merupakan tanda jelas lain yang menandakan kerosakan \nwater pump\n kereta. Selain itu, kerosakan \nwater pump\n kereta juga biasanya dikaitkan dengan \nimpeller\n pada pam yang telah haus atau sambungan antara \nimpeller\n dan \nshaft\n yang telah longgar.\n\n\nAksesori \nWater Temperature Gauge\n aftermarket boleh dipasang pada model kereta yang telah menghadapi kerosakan meter suhu atau model kereta berprestasi tinggi sebagai langkah pencegahan untuk mengelakkan kereta overheat atau temperature kereta naik.\n\n\n7. Cecair Penyejuk atau Air\n Coolant\n Bocor\n\n\nKebanyakan kereta dilengkapi dengan sistem penyejukan yang membantu mengekalkan suhu enjin pada paras normal. Jika sistem penyejukan kereta mengalami kebocoran, tersumbat atau rosak, ia mungkin tidak dapat menjalankan fungsinya secara optimum untuk menyerap haba panas dari enjin. Jika masalah ini berterusan, ia boleh menyebabkan suhu enjin meningkat dan menyebabkan\n temperature\n kereta naik. Biasanya, punca air \ncoolant\n bocor biasanya disebabkan kerosakan pada sistem penyejukan utama seperti kebocoran kedap mekanikal \nwater pump\n, kebocoran pada radiator, hos atau palam teras jaket air (\nwater jacket core plug\n).\n\n\nNamun begitu, sekiranya komponen-komponen ini berada dalam keadaan baik namun kereta anda masih berdepan masalah \nair radiator kering\n atau masalah tangki simpanan air radiator selalu kurang, ia biasanya berlaku disebabkan kebocoran pada \nhead gasket\n. Selain itu, \nspring\n penutup radiator yang rosak juga boleh menyebabkan air radiator kering dan berkurangan.\n\n\nMasalah\n temperature\n kereta naik tidak boleh dipandang ringan. Ia perlu dibaiki dan diselenggara dengan segera untuk mengelakkan kerosakan komponen lain yang lebih serius.\n\n\n\n\nTemperature\n Kereta Naik: Tanda-tanda Enjin Kereta\n Overheat\n\n\nBiasanya suhu panas dalam enjin tidak akan menyebabkan \ntemperature\n kereta naik melainkan sistem penyejukan kereta anda tidak berada dalam keadaan baik. Secara amnya, terdapat beberapa masalah enjin yang menyebabkan enjin kereta menjadi terlampau panas. Oleh sebab itu, penting untuk anda mengenal pasti simptom atau tanda-tanda kereta \noverheat\n seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\nWap (atau asap putih) muncul dari bahagian bonet hadapan kereta;\n\n\nJarum tokok suhu enjin pada \ndashboard\n kereta meningkat kepada \u201cH\u201d atau memasuki zon merah. Bagi sesetengah kereta yang lain, lampu amaran suhu enjin menyala \u2013 rujuk manual pemilik untuk kepastian;\n\n\nBau hangus atau bau pelik datang dari bahagian enjin \u2013 air \ncoolant\n bocor biasanya berbau manis manakala minyak enjin bocor biasanya berbau hangus atau terbakar.\n\n\n\n\nPerkara Yang Perlu Anda Lakukan dan Perlu Dielakkan Jika Kereta \nOverheat\n\n\nJika anda sedang berada dalam kesesakan lalu lintas dan menyedari ada asap putih atau wap keluar daripada bonet hadapan kereta anda \u2013 kekal tenang. Ambil langkah-langkah berjaga-jaga dan \npraktikkan\n perkara-perkara berikut:\n\n\n1. Jangan Panik\n\n\nSekiranya anda berdepan situasi \ntemperature\n kereta naik sebegini secara tiba-tiba semasa memandu, kekal tenang dan jangan panik. Perlahankan kenderaan dan segera bergerak dengan berhati-hati menuju ke bahu jalan. Dalam situasi panik sebegini, ada sesetengah pemandu yang mula menekan brek secara mengejut setelah mendapati kereta mula berasap. Perbuatan sebegini amat berbahaya dan boleh meningkatkan risiko kemalangan yang lebih serius. Oleh itu, kekal tenang.\n\n\n2. Jangan Teruskan Pemanduan, Cari Lokasi Selamat untuk Berhenti\n\n\nJika lampu amaran suhu enjin menyala atau jarum tokok suhu anda berada dalam zon merah, jangan teruskan pemanduan dan segera berhenti di bahu jalan. Meneruskan pemanduan semasa enjin kereta \noverheat\n boleh menyebabkan kerosakan yang lebih serius (dan lebih mahal) pada enjin anda.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSegera matikan\n aircond\n kereta\n untuk mengurangkan tekanan pada enjin. \nAircond\n kereta yang dibiarkan beroperasi semasa kereta\n overheat\n boleh meningkatkan beban pada enjin.\n\n\nJika selamat, buka bonet hadapan kereta bagi membolehkan pengaliran haba yang lebih baik dan membantu haba hilang dengan lebih cepat.\n\n\nBiarkan enjin kereta sejuk selama sekurang-kurangnya 15 minit. Setelah enjin kembali sejuk, periksa tokok suhu kereta sama ada ia kembali ke tahap normal atau tidak.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Jangan Buka Bonet Serta-merta\n\n\nSetelah berhenti, tunggu sehingga enjin kereta sejuk terlebih dahulu sebelum membuka bonet untuk memeriksa enjin anda. Ini kerana, perbuatan membuka bonet hadapan dengan serta-merta semasa suhu enjin masih panas boleh meningkatkan risiko melecur atau tercedera disebabkan oleh wap atau asap. Tunggu sehingga tokok suhu menurun sebelum buka bonet hadapan.\n\n\n4. Jangan Biarkan Isu Berlarutan\n\n\nSecara amnya, enjin kereta yang rosak perlu dibaiki dengan segera kerana ia boleh menjadi lebih teruk jika dibiarkan. Setelah enjin sejuk, cuba hidupkan enjin kereta. Jika enjin kereta berbunyi tetapi \nkereta tak boleh\n start\n, minta bantuan trak tunda untuk menunda kereta anda ke bengkel berdekatan untuk pemeriksaan lanjut. Namun jika ia berjaya dihidupkan, bawa kereta anda dengan berhati-hati dan sentiasa perhatikan tokok suhu semasa memandu. Jika \ntemperature\n kereta naik semula, segera berhenti dan biarkan sejuk.\n\n\nDiagnosis enjin kereta yang lengkap boleh membantu mengenal pasti punca \ntemperature\n kereta naik. Selain itu, ia juga boleh membantu anda mendapatkan penyelesaian terbaik terhadap isu yang berlaku. Jika kereta \noverheat\n, anda juga boleh lakukan pemeriksaan seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKenal pasti sebarang tanda kebocoran, kerosakan yang berlaku jika ada. Air \ncoolant\n kering boleh menyebabkan enjin kereta\n overheat\n.\n\n\nPeriksa dan tambah air \ncoolant\n jika perlu. Kebanyakan punca kereta \noverheat\n berlaku disebabkan air \ncoolant\n kereta yang tidak mencukupi.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTips Elakkan \nTemperature\n Enjin Kereta Naik\n\n\nSebelum anda memulakan \nroadtrip \nbersama keluarga atau rakan\n, anda disarankan untuk mengikuti langkah-langkah berikut untuk mengelakkan masalah kerosakan kereta seperti enjin kereta \noverheat\n mengganggu mood percutian anda:\n\n\n\n\nPeriksa radiator kereta sama ada terdapat risiko radiator tersumbat (daun kering, serangga, lumpur dan sebagainya) yang boleh menyekat aliran udara;\n\n\nPastikan tahap air \ncoolant\n berada pada tahap yang sesuai dan mencukupi;\n\n\nPeriksa \ntiming belt\n kereta\n anda \u2013 \ntiming belt\n rosak atau haus berpotensi menjejaskan fungsi enjin;\n\n\nLakukan pemeriksaan terhadap penutup radiator kereta anda \u2013 \nspring\n penutup yang sudah longgar tidak dapat mengekalkan tekanan yang diperlukan dalam radiator;\n\n\nLakukan pemeriksaan yang menyeluruh ke atas kereta anda sebelum memulakan perjalanan. Minta bantuan mekanik yang dipercayai untuk memeriksa, menyelenggara dan membaiki sebarang kerosakan, jika ada.\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, sekiranya anda ingin \njual kereta lama\n atau \nbeli kereta terpakai\n \nyang berbaloi, selamat dan berkualiti, layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

Although such incidents are rare, the possibility of it occurring to you is never zero. Who knows, car crash could happen to you during your next test drive session.\n\n\nTake this for example, a couple years back, there was an incident that went viral in social media where a Malaysian man \u2013 allegedly a Mercedes salesperson, crashed a brand new Mercedes during a test drive! Luckily, the man involved in the Mercedes test drive accident escaped unharmed, but we can\u2019t say the same about the car in question.\n\n\nKahkahkah mendapat kauuuu.. tekan lagi tekan!

Hahahahaha \npic.twitter.com/48jIi2QuWH\n\u2014 \ud83d\udda4 (@MOFASAD) \nFebruary 13, 2021\n \n\n\nSo, IF this happens to you, who would be deemed responsible for the accident? Are you liable for all the damages that occur to a car that doesn\u2019t belong to you? Do you have to buy the damaged car? Is there any insurance to protect you and the car from damage? Read on to find out more.\n\n\nRead more:\n \nThings To Do After Getting Into A Car Accident\n\n\nCar Crashed During a Test Drive: Whose Fault is It Anyway?\n\n\nThe answer to this question depends on the extent of the damage and the nature of the crash. It also takes into account the party who caused the car crash and those involved in it. These factors will determine whether your wallet will suffer greatly or you will be saved from financial burdens.\n\n\nIn the case of a car crash involving a test drive vehicle, who would bear the cost of repairing the damaged car? To determine who should be held responsible, we need to consider the level of damage suffered by the test drive vehicle and the party responsible for the accident.\n\n\nRead more: \nDo Not Test Drive a Car Without Reading This First!\n\n\nMinor Car Crashes\n\n\nvia GIPHY\n\n\nIn the case of minor car crashes resulting in superficial damages like a few scratches on the car, you will typically not be required to bear the repair costs. Car dealerships often have group insurance policies that cover such minor damages incurred during test drives. This insurance coverage is designed to protect against non-serious accidents and the resulting minor damages.\n\n\nSerious Car Crashes\n\n\nHowever, if the car crash leads to significant damages that render the test drive vehicle a total loss, additional considerations come into play. One crucial factor is determining the party responsible for causing the crash.\n\n\nvia GIPHY\n\n\nRegardless of fault, the first step you should take after a car crash is to file a police report. If the car is no longer drivable, contact your insurance company or the highway concession company for assistance in towing the damaged vehicle.\n\n\nIf you are found at fault for the significant damages due to reckless driving, you will be responsible for the repair costs. In such a scenario, you have two options to cover the expenses:\n\n\n\n\nYou can personally bear the repair costs. If you belong to the T20 income group, this may not be a significant issue. However, what if you don\u2019t have sufficient funds? In that case, an alternative solution may be necessary.\n\n\nYou can utilize your existing car insurance to cover the damages to the test drive vehicle caused by the car crash. However, if the repair costs exceed the coverage limit of your insurance policy, you may need to supplement the remaining amount out of your own pocket.\n\n\n\n\nFor first-time car buyers without existing car insurance, seeking financial assistance or loans to cover the incurred damages might be necessary.\n\n\nNot at Fault? Here are Your Rights\n\n\nIn cases where you are not at fault and the car crash is caused by another vehicle or external factors, you are merely an innocent victim. The responsible party, whether it be another vehicle or a faulty test drive vehicle, will be liable for the repair costs.\n\n\nIf the police investigation concludes that you are not at fault, you need not worry. The third party that caused the car crash will be legally obligated to bear the expenses associated with repairs for the test drive vehicle. Additionally, if you sustain any injuries during the car crash, the responsible party will also be liable for your medical expenses.\n\n\nvia GIPHY\n\n\nThe best part is that you won\u2019t have to deal with the hassle of managing the insurance claims yourself. The car dealership will handle the insurance claims process on your behalf, considering you are an innocent victim in this situation.\n\n\nSafety First, Always!\n\n\nWhether you\u2019re test driving a CARSOME Certified car or just driving your own car, always remember to drive responsibly and exercise proper caution. Please treat the test drive car as if it were your own and be sure to prioritize safety throughout your journey.\n\n\nvia GIPHY\n\n\nWhile test drives can be an exciting experience, it\u2019s essential to maintain control and avoid becoming overly carried away.

Here Are Common Mistakes to Avoid When You Test-Drive a Car", "By\n \nDevan S", "06/07/2023", "\n\n\n\n\n", "Buying a car is not like buying fish in the market. You can\u2019t just say, \u201cUncle, I want a kilo of \nHonda Civic\n\u201d and be on your way. For many of us, it\u2019s a huge financial commitment that ties us down for up to nine years. So, when you decide to buy a car in Malaysia, you have to think carefully about what you want in your car from the make and model to the safety features, and more.\n\n\nOnce you have narrowed down a few cars you\u2019re interested in, the next step is to find a dealer and schedule a test drive. But, you know how it is, right? When we get too excited seeing the car in person, we might forget how to test drive the new car and miss out on important things.\n\n\nTo help you make the right decision when buying a car, here are some mistakes to avoid during your test drive.\n\n\n1. Not Deciding on the Car You Want to Test-Drive\n\n\nSince buying a car is often a pricey, long-term financial commitment, let\u2019s make your decision worth it. Go over your finances and set a budget of what you can afford to pay be it over a five or nine-year loan period.\n\n\nBased on your budget, you can shortlist several cars to check out and test-drive. One \ntip for test-driving\n a car whether new or used is to only test-drive the cars on your list. This will ensure you don\u2019t go over budget and risk getting your car repossessed because you defaulted on your loan.\u00a0\n\n\nFor instance, you walk into the dealership to test-drive a \nHonda City\n and end up test-driving a pricier vehicle like the \nHR-V\n. While just test-driving doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll settle for the car, you might be tempted to upgrade your choice, especially if you only need to top-up a few thousand ringgit.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n2. Not Planning Your Test-Drive Route\n\n\nBefore test-driving a car, ask the salesperson how long is the test-drive route. Most test drives span 5km to 20km, depending on the dealership you visit. Ideally, your route should include a mix of roads including highways. So that\u2019s another thing to ask before you take the car out for a drive.\n\n\nBy driving on different roads and in different traffic conditions, you can better evaluate the way the car handles bumps, stop-and-go traffic, and high-speed open roads. Don\u2019t forget to go through roads with multiple turnings and/or roundabouts so you can gauge the car\u2019s handling, brakes, and suspension as well.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Not Inspecting the Car\u2019s Exterior Condition\n\n\nYou might think you know how to test-drive a new car but if you\u2019re shopping for a used car, you have extra things to look at. Checking the exterior condition of a brand-new car can give you an idea of the build quality of the car you\u2019ll actually get. But when it comes to a used car, properly inspecting its condition can ensure you get a quality car that won\u2019t let you down.\n\n\nInspecting the car\u2019s exterior before your test drive will help you identify imperfections in the paint and body which can indicate if it\u2019s seen significant damage or not. By doing it before you drive, you can also avoid getting blamed for damages that were not your fault.\n\n\nRead More:\n \n6 Industry Secrets Shared by CARSOME Inspectors\n\n\n4. Not Checking the Service Records\n\n\nAll cars need to be serviced at certain intervals and the service should be recorded in the owner\u2019s service booklet. If you\u2019re buying a used car, don\u2019t forget to check the service records as you\u2019ll be able to tell if the car was serviced on time and if it had abnormal issues that needed repairs.\u00a0\n\n\nIf the seller doesn\u2019t provide the service booklet when you ask for it, there could be an issue with the car. However, many car owners choose to service their cars at third-party workshops after the warranty has ended because it\u2019s cheaper. If that\u2019s the case with the car you\u2019re looking at, you can ask for past service receipts as well. It\u2019s important to get as much information as possible on the car you\u2019re buying, so you don\u2019t sacrifice safety for a cheap car.\n\n\n5. Driving Recklessly\n\n\nAnother important tip for test driving a car, whether new or used, is to stay safe on the road. Make sure you follow all traffic laws and don\u2019t push the car to its limits just because you need to \u2018really test the car\u2019.\u00a0\n\n\nDriving recklessly will not only endanger other road users but if you end up in an accident and damage the car, you\u2019ll face hefty repair costs if it\u2019s determined to be your fault. It\u2019s understandable to get excited when test-driving, especially if it\u2019s your dream car but remember to take it easy and not be a menace on the road.\n\n\n\n\nRead More:\n \nTop Women-Friendly Car Features to Consider\n\n\n6. Forgetting to Assess the Car\u2019s Comfort\n\n\nWe spend a lot of time in our cars especially if we commute in it daily. Therefore, don\u2019t forget to pay attention to the interior space as well. Vital things to consider include the comfort of the seat, steering wheel adjustability, front and rear legroom, features and usability of the infotainment panel, and storage space.\u00a0\n\n\nPay attention to how the interior of the car feels when you drive, whether you can access the various controls easily, and if your passengers are comfortable. This goes for both new and used cars, so don\u2019t neglect the interior.\n\n\nCheck the Car Thoroughly before You Buy\n\n\nTo recap, be sure to narrow down your car choices before you test-drive, stay safe while test-driving, and pay attention to the car\u2019s exterior and interior, as well as how it drives. Whether you\u2019re buying a new or used car, these test-driving tips will help you know exactly what you\u2019re getting in your car. And that\u2019ll ensure that you buy a car that really fits your lifestyle and needs. After all, you wouldn\u2019t want to be stuck servicing a loan for a car that you don\u2019t like.\n\n\nTest-Driving a CARSOME Certified Car Is Now Even Easier!\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a quality, affordable car, why not get a pre-owned car from \nCARSOME\n?

Let us explain.", "By\n \ncarsomeadministrator", "12/11/2018", "\n\n\n\n\n", "\n\nPerodua is known for making extremely practical cars. When it launched the first generation Myvi in 2005, it quickly caught up to become Malaysia\u2019s best-selling model in 2006, and for the next eight consecutive years. The Myvi till today, is the quintessential compact hatchback that allows a family of four or five to reach places. But the Myvi was not able to fill the gap for larger families or users that wanted a car that provided more. In 2009, Perodua\u2019s Alza was launched to fill that gap.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe Alza for 2018 has gone through its second cycle refresh and in terms of looks and equipment, is better all round. If you\u2019re new to the Alza, read on as we chronicle our experience with the latest \n2018 Alza SE and Advance\n variant refresh.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nNew Looks\n\n\n\n\nFor those unfamiliar with the Alza, the new bumpers at the front and back lift up the overall look significantly. Compared to the original Alza design, the differences are rather striking. The smoother lines on the original versus the sportier 2018 with larger lower intake. The front fog lamps maintain their size and are unchanged.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAt the rear, the new bumper takes on a wider stance thanks to the lower horizontal design, and the addition of the backdoor garnish, makes the overall impression a little less rounded than before. The resulting effect uplifts the rear look to a slimmer profile.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCargo and Seating arrangements\n\n\n\n\nIn terms of seating arrangements and the things you could do, the Alza put the word Multi-Purpose in MPV. We quite understand that the seating arrangements can be folded down in various ways to accommodate cargo and passenger seating, but we wondered if anyone ever would.\n\n\nNevertheless, in all the variations we thought of, most have been thought of by Perodua. You have the:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7 passenger seating or 5 passengers with a spacious cargo compartment\n\n\n4 passengers with long cargo (2\nnd\n and 3\nrd\n row parallel side)\n\n\n2 passengers with maximum cargo of 2\nnd\n and 3\nrd\n row collapsed\n\n\n2 passengers with maximum long cargo of 1\nst\n, 2\nnd\n and 3\nrd\n row collapsed parallel side\n\n\nDriver with long cargo and maximum full vehicle space\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll this is helped significantly by the hatchback style and almost flat loading, with straightforward folding seats, the cargo is easy to insert and remove. During the review, we also managed to transport four full sized office chairs and eight medium sized boxes without blocking the rear window visibility.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nConvenience and Comfort\n\n\n \n\n\nTwo things stood out most in review of the new Alza. The first comes from cooling, the redesigned central vents that included a mix of fixed fins and directional ones proved to be better for third row passengers. We tested this out, and it proved to be true for all passengers seated at the back.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe second is the addition of the front corner sensors, which in the 2018 Alza is all-new. Gauging distances during parking and manoeuvring tight corners is evidently simpler.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIn other areas, the multimedia system head unit with GPS is the same one featured in the Myvi. It gets things done, with the addition of speed warnings, toll fare (selected areas) and the whole works of Bluetooth, USB and \u2018Smart Link\u2019 mirroring for Android phones. The Advance unit review does have the additional roof mounted monitor controlled from the main unit to keep the second and third row occupied with videos and movies. A preventive measure best to note is that the main unit prevents the driver from viewing the display when on the move. The video comes back to view when the parking brake is applied.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nEveryday driving impressions\n\n\n\n\nThe Alza\u2019s steering does feel a little heftier than the brand\u2019s other range of cars. This is all from the fact that it still uses hydraulic as opposed to electric on their other cars. Not so good when it comes to parking, but things differ on the move. It\u2019s not a sports car by any means, but take things easy and it gets the job done. With a full passenger load, don\u2019t expect it to accelerate like a rocket but overall, ride is rather admirable, with not much body roll around corners. In terms of fuel economy, we managed 502 km in a week, with a full use of approximately 39-litres and an additional 13-litres of fuel to bring it to about 10.36 km per litre in our test.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nOur verdict\n\n\n\n\nSo here\u2019s our take. Is the interior very plasticky? Yes.\n\nDoes the car feel like a drag once in a while? Yes.\n\nDid we like the central instrument cluster? No.\n\nIs it a good looking car? That\u2019s subjective.\n\nBut does it do what is advertised? Yes.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAfter spending a week with the Alza, we finally understand the importance of what it represents to Malaysians who want a vehicle that can offer more space and versatility without costing an arm and a leg. In fact, the Alza at its current prices from \nRM 51,490 to RM 62,690\n is the most affordable it\u2019s ever been throughout the years (adjusted for inflation). This is where things get a little strange. If you\u2019re looking to get the new Alza, look at both the \nAlza SE and AV\n.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIn terms of specification, the SE places the new Alza as the best current variant purchase at \nRM 56,890\n. Although it removes a few of the creature comforts such as the Multimedia system, leather seats, roof mounted monitor and reverse camera, everything else comes with the SE. Here, savings over the AV is at RM 5,800. Best yet, considering you pay just RM 2,800 more over the current Myvi AV for more seats and space, the Alza suddenly makes more sense than the other vehicles in its line-up. It is dated? Yes of course, considering that it\u2019s nine years old with two facelifts, but is it practical?

As a mid-size luxury SUV, the new Range Rover Velar is a masterpiece in terms of design and engineering. Its \u2018reduction\u2019 based design and elegant simplicity just makes it very much incomparable with other SUVs in its class.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nDesign\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    First things first, the Velar won the \u2018Car Design of the Year\u2019 at the 2018 World Car Award. And that award is certainly justified visually. Visible straight away from the design is that the Velar carries a seductive silhouette, flush deployable door handles, integrated rear spoiler. There are distinctive design cues from the front bumper to the rear of the vehicle, foil stamped grille and Matrix LED Headlights. The twin chrome exhaust finishers are integrated into the rear bumper as well.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA brief look at the overall features of the Velar.\n\n\n\n\n\n    The Velar is built with an aluminium-intensive monocoque (up to 81 per cent aluminium components). It\u2019s light and stiff body is supported by double wishbone suspensions at the front and multi-link rear suspension to provide not only better handling, but superior ride comfort. The Velar comes equipped with 20-inch wheels, while the higher-spec Velar R-Dynamic comes with 21-inch wheels.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-Car Technologies\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The Velar features in-demand and up-to-date technologies for a car of the future. The Touch Pro Duo infotainment system which is the centrepiece of the Velar\u2019s interior is powered by an Intel Quad Core Processor, features a high speed 60 GB Solid-State Drive and Ultra-Fast Ethernet Network. On the surface, the Touch Pro Duo features two 10-inch high-definition touchscreens, and the system allows multitasking of the two screens simultaneously. The new 12-inch Interactive Driver Display makes driving the Velar more interesting with its four visual themes and full-screen 3D navigation display. Other technology-advanced features include a Head Up Display, Interactive Driver Display and Navigation Pro.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nInterior\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Simplicity is at its best within the cabin of the Velar. The instrument panel's horizontal beam is the defining element of the interior's architecture. The angle in which it rakes back towards the windscreen underlines the SUVs driving characteristics. The slender air vents further reinforce the Velar\u2019s reductive tech-enabled design.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    In terms of seating comfort, the Velar\u2019s front seats is a balance of performance with support and comfort. It has been designed to free up additional interior space and legroom as well as having been repositioned and built for ease of entry in and out of the cabin.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Onto the measurements, the Velar sits on top of the Evoque in terms of length, but is shorter than the Range Rover Sport by 47 mm. Also, the Range Rover Velar stands at 1665 mm, 115 millimetres short of the Range Rover Sport. The width of the Velar is just 75 mm shy of the Range Rover Sport.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nDrivetrain\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    As with Range Rovers of this class, the drive is directed to all four wheels, through intelligent, torque on-demand all-wheel-drive (AWD) system with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics. Depending on road conditions, it can make the transition from 100 per cent rear bias to fully locked in only 165 milliseconds; transient torque delivery to the front axle can take as little as 100 milliseconds. This makes the all-wheel drive system incredibly responsive in all driving conditions.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Power from the Ingenium powertrain is matched to a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission and is fitted with the P250 powertrain which has 247 hp. The maximum torque is 365 Nm and can be maintained from 1,200 rpm up to 4,500 rpm. The century sprint for the Velar is just 6.7 seconds. On the road, it can return an impressive 7.6-litres/ 100km and 173 g/km CO2 on the European combined cycle (NEDC).\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Onto the pricing, the Velar (P250) costs \nRM 529,900\n, while the R-Dynamic (P250) starts from\u00a0\nRM 588,800.\u00a0\nThe Velar is available in eight exterior colours that includes Fuji White, Yulong White, Corris Grey, Santorini Black, Kaikoura Stone, Firenze Red, Silicon Silver and Carpathian Grey. There are also five interior options of Ebony/Ebony, Acorn, Vintage Tan/Ebony, Eclipse/Ebony and Light Oyster/Ebony.

The eighth-generation Audi A6 is expected to set a new benchmark for business sedans and will look to redefine the limits in the business class sedan in the automotive industry. One key word here for Audi in this new executive sedan, is technology.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPrimarily, the technological aspects of the new A6 gives it a sharp boost, as it has dynamic all-wheel steering with a mild-hybrid engine, all digital MMI touch response system with Audi connect, a wider array of driver assistance systems, these which embody the future of business mobility. The 2019 Audi A6 is expressed with Audi\u2019s brand new design language with taut surfaces, sharp edges and striking lines.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe exterior has stood out with crisp proportions that combines a longer hood, longer wheelbase and short overhangs for a dynamic silhouette. The 2019 Audi A6 holds dimensions of 7 millimetres longer than its predecessor. The direct width has been increased by 12 millimetres to 1,886 millimetres while the vehicle height\u2019s at 1,457 millimetres is 2 mm higher than the outgoing model. The mixed-construction of steel and aluminium in the body helps to maximise the body to ensure top quality feel and sporty handling.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSet to be available from mid-2018 in Germany, Audi offers the new Audi A6 with two choices of engines \u2013 a diesel and a gasoline unit. The new Audi A6 is also paired with a seven-speed S tronic transmission and Audi\u2019s quattro permanent all-wheel drive. Moreover, the 3.0 TFSI turbocharged V6 engine has 340 hp and 500 Nm of torque, making sure that the century sprint can be achieved in 5.1-seconds with a limited top speed of 250 km/h.\n\n\n\n\nSimilar to the A7, the Audi A6 will utilize a mild-hybrid system (MHEV) putting the car\u2019s 48-volt battery to work when driving between 55 km/h and 160 km/h. On the other hand, the 3.0 TDI engine delivers 286 hp and 620 Nm of torque, paired with an eight-speed tiptronic transmission.\n\n\n\n\nThe new Audi A6 is noticeably sportier than the outgoing model thanks to the innovative suspension system. The dynamic all-wheel steering is a mainstay in this agility and manoeuvrability which combines direct, sporty steering response with unshakable stability. The Audi A6 offers more driver and passenger comfort since the steering movements seem much softer the rear seats. The Audi A6 has improved ride and noise comfort when compared to the outgoing model too.\n\n\n\n\nRoughly 50 years ago, the first Audi 100 was unveiled in Ingolstadt, Germany. The Audi 100 was a hugely successful model and the flagship of the brand. Half a century today, the Audi 100 has evolved into the Audi A6 (since midway through the fourth-generation), and has turned into one of the most successful Audi vehicle models today.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWant to know how to become a better driver instantly? \nClick here\n for five easy ways!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car through Carsome today!

Here\u2019s why.", "By\n \ncarsomeadministrator", "04/12/2018", "\n\n\n\n\n", "\n\nUnveiled just last week at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the all-new Mazda 3 is a new chapter for the Japanese brand in terms of mechanics, design and appeal. How is the brand moving forward? Read on to find out.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDesign\n\n\n\n\nMazda\u2019s headlining \u2018Kodo \u2013 Soul of Motion\u2019 design was first introduced in the 2010 CX-5 and in the Mazda 6 two years later. It has essentially provided Mazda with the signature look and feel that continues until now. With the all-new 3, Mazda has evolved the Kodo design to express a new form of elegance. The development team took to designing the Mazda 3 hatchback and sedan with its own unique appeal, distinctly different that it could even represent separate models.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nFor the hatchback, the design concept was on creating a solid mass with a seductive appeal that conveys a fresh expression of hatchback styling. Viewed from the rear, the cabin and body come together to appear as a single solid mass. The sedan on the other hand was made to be sleek and elegant, bringing the hood, cabin and trunk as three distinct elements. The result in Mazda\u2019s expression is a \u201crefined, mature expression of elegance\u201d.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nOn the inside, the cockpit has been laid out in perfect horizontal symmetry with the driver in the center. The further-evolved Kodo design here was also to incorporate an interior that showcases the \u201cless is more\u201d philosophy. For example, the climate-control panel and passenger-side louvers are integrated into the left-right axis that follows the line of the instrument panel. This provides a clean and simple design.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDriving Position & Field of View\n\n\n\n\nMazda says that the goal in human-centric design was to provide all drivers with confidence, ease of operation and driving concentration. When it came to driving position, the gear shift lever was moved forward and positioned higher on both the automatic and manual transmission variants. The commander was also moved forward, cupholders repositioned in front of the shift lever and the center armrest lengthened. The new console layout has significantly improved operating stability, ease and comfort.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe detail of the A-pillar design and shape was optimised to minimise obstruction angle and blind spots. Development engineers calculated the degree of neck and eye movement in relations to the pillar shape as to ensure that the driver has continuous view of the things ahead and potential obstacles to the right or left. (While this reflects much on the front visibility, Mazda has not mentioned about rear visibility on the all-new hatchback. Based on the look, it seems that the C pillars are significant in shape and could pose as an issue in visibility.)\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe windshield wiper was also redesigned and is now housed beneath the hood and incorporates the washer nozzles within the wiper arms so that the spray can be wiped away immediately after application and not interfere with driver visibility.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nReduced NVH\n\n\n\n\nTo improve insulation, the new 3 is the first to apply a \u201ctwo-wall\u201d structure that leaves space between the body and carpeting on the floor. By taking into consideration the carpet and body panel as two walls, the design was to match the characteristics of the fibre material attached to the carpet to increase efficiency without increasing weight. Measures to deal with road noise included sound-absorbing functionality added to the headliner and floor mats to suppress high-frequency noise. On the outside, the use of tyres with optimised vertical spring action and increased rigidity at points help prevent spread of certain vibrations to the cabin.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDigital Display & Audio\n\n\n\n\nMazda has also taken to redesign the Active Driving Display, meters and center display to present information simpler with unified fonts to create a consistent and pleasing look. The new 8.8-inch center display is operated with the new commander control and features intuitive guidance for easier operation.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nStudies were conducted to understand how sounds are transmitted through the car\u2019s cabin. This has led to placing the bass speakers in the corners where the sound is amplified. Furthermore, to prevent reflected sounds interfering with the tonal quality of mid to high-frequency sounds, speakers have been positioned on the left and right sail garnish and upper sections of the door to direct sound towards the occupant\u2019s ears. The standard audio system is an 8-speaker system while the 12-speaker Bose sound system improves on speaker positioning and custom tuning for more powerful bass and higher audio quality.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nPowertrain & GVC Plus\n\n\n\n\nThe new Mazda 3 will feature three petrol Skyactiv-G engines in 1.5-, 2.0-, and 2.5-litre versions that have optimised intake ports and piston shape, split fuel injection and a coolant control valve. All these come together to provide performance, fuel economy and more environmental friendly.\n\n\nThe 3 will also be available with the Skyactiv-D 1.8 diesel with ultra-high response multi-hole piezo injectors that allows the engine for high-pressure and precise controlled multi-stage injection for better fuel economy, reduced exhaust gasses, and is also quieter and smoother.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBut the highlight here has to be the Skyactiv-X engine. As the first production car to offer the new generation of petrol engines, Skyactiv-X combines the advantages of both petrol and diesel engines. The innovative Spark-Controlled Compression Ignition compresses the fuel-air mix at a higher compression ratio. This together with the spark to ignite the dense fuel-air mix under pressure, allows it to burn faster and more completely than in conventional engines.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe results for Skyactiv-X are phenomenal, providing 10 to 30 per cent more torque than the current Skyactiv-G engines, better fuel efficiency than the Skyactiv-D, and a power increase of 10 per cent.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe new sedan and hatchback will also come with Mazda\u2019s evolved i-Activ AWD system and G-Vectoring Control Plus. GVC Plus adds direct yaw moment control via the brakes to better handle emergency avoidance manoeuvres and controllability in situations like high speed lane changes and slippery roads.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0To better understand what G-Vectoring Control does, watch this.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nActive & Passive Safety\n\n\n\n\nThe i-Activsense has been improved and includes a newly developed Driver Monitoring system. In the cabin, the infrared camera and infrared LED observes the driver\u2019s condition \u2013 monitoring how wide the eyelids are at any given time, number of blinks, angle of mouth and face in order to determine the level of drowsiness, as well as driver\u2019s line of sight and eye movement to determine if the driver is being inattentive. Should the system judges the situation becomes dangerous, an audible alert will sound as well as the Smart Brake Support (SBS).\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nOn top of Front Cross Traffic Alert (FTCA), Mazda\u2019s new Cruising and Traffic Support (CTS) system assists with accelerator, brake pedal and steering operations when in traffic. It also supports a safer and more comfortable driving experience in conditions that demand constant operation of the assisted functions.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nFor Passive Safety, the increase of ultra-high-tensile steel ratio has been increased tenfold. A new knee airbag for the driver\u2019s seat and hood inner structure takes to improve impacts to a pedestrian in contact.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nTo have a sense of what the all-new Mazda 3 will be like, \nclick here\n for our review of the 2017 Mazda 3 GVC!\n\n\nMazda SUV? \nClick here\n for our review of the 2.5L CX-5!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car through Carsome when you\u2019re ready to get that Mazda 3!\n\n", "Tags\nCars\nDriving\nLifestyle", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Belanjawan yang diselaraskan sesuai dengan konsep Malaysia Madani yang diperkenalkan beliau dilihat merupakan antara belanjawan terbesar berbanding pemerintahan sebelum ini.\u00a0\n\n\nPelbagai reaksi diberikan oleh rakyat Malaysia terhadap belanjawan yang dibentangkan kembali setelah kerajaan dibentuk sejak Disember 2022 lalu.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSumber: Astro Awani\n\n\nJadi, apa yang menariknya tentang belanjawan kali ini? Sejujurnya, tak banyak yang menarik yang boleh diperkatakan jika kita lihat daripada aspek automotif tetapi ada beberapa perkara yang boleh kita bincangkan.\u00a0\n\n\nCukai Barangan Mewah\u00a0\n\n\nBermula tahun ini, cukai barangan mewah akan diperkenalkan oleh kerajaan. Sama seperti namanya, cukai ini akan dikenakan kepada semua barangan mewah. Tetapi pelaksanaannya masih lagi tidak diketahui.\u00a0\n\n\nSebagai contoh, berapa peratuskah cukai barangan mewah yang akan dikenakan? Apakah \u2018barangan mewah\u2019 yang boleh dikenakan cukai, serta lain-lain lagi persoalan. Jika anda seperti penulis (marhaen B40), rasanya anda tak perlu risau kot tentang cukai ini.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSatu perkara tentang cukai barangan mewah ini, adakah kereta berjenama mewah turut akan dikenakan cukai ini juga? Dan juga aksesori \nkereta mewah\n, adakah ia juga akan dikenakan cukai sebagaimana barangan mewah lain?\u00a0\n\n\nTetapi sekali lagi, jika anda merupakan golongan pertengahan atau marhaen yang tidak membeli barangan mewah atau kereta mewah, ini satu kelegaan buat anda.\u00a0\n\n\nLesen B2 (Motosikal), E-panggilan, Bas, dan Teksi Percuma\n\n\nKerajaan juga bakal menyerap kos bagi mengambil \nlesen\n \nB2 (motosikal), e-panggilan, bas, dan juga teksi. Kos untuk mengambil lesen ini juga agak mahal bergantung kepada jenis. Sebagai contoh, bagi lesen B2, kosnya bermula RM300 hingga RM450. Bagi lesen PSV bas bermula daripada RM1,500 dan RM70 hingga RM200 bagi lesen PSV teksi. Harga ini mungkin berbeza mengikut sekolah memandu.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAntara rasional (mungkin) kerajaan menyerap kos bagi membuat lesen ini adalah untuk membolehkan rakyat mempunyai pendapatan terutama bagi mereka yang tidak mempunyai kelayakan akademik yang tinggi untuk mempunyai pekerjaan seperti pemandu e-pandu atau penghantar makanan. Inisiatif ini juga membolehkan mereka yang sudah mempunyai pendapatan tetap untuk menjana pendapatan sampingan.\u00a0\n\n\nMembaiki Jalan Raya Rosak\u00a0\n\n\nAntara bencana terbesar yang terpaksa dihadapi oleh hampir semua pengguna jalan raya di Malaysia ialah jalan raya yang rosak. Terutama sekali kepada pengguna jalan raya persekutuan untuk ke tempat kerja.\u00a0\n\n\nJalan raya yang rosak dan berlubang boleh menyebabkan kerosakan yang serius kepada kenderaan yang lalu lalang. Ia juga mencacatkan pemandangan mereka yang melalui jalan ini.\n\n\n\n\nUntuk itu, kerajaan dalam belanjawan kali ini telah memperuntukkan sebanyak RM2.7 bilion untuk membaiki jalan raya persekutuan yang rosak. Selain itu, kerajaan turut menambahkan sebanyak RM1.5 bilion bagi membaiki jalan-jalan kampung dan luar bandar.\n\n\nRM50 juta juga diperuntukkan bagi memasang dan membaiki lampu jalan terutama di kawasan yang berisiko tinggi serta sering terjadinya kemalangan.\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, selamat tinggal jalan berlubang?\u00a0\n\n\nSubsidi Tak Jadi Potong?\u00a0\n\n\nAntara perkara yang semua orang nantikan dalam belanjawan kali ini adalah pemotongan subsidi dan digantikan dengan pelaksanaan subsidi bersasar kepada golongan yang layak sahaja.\u00a0\n\n\nNamun, sepanjang lebih tiga jam belanjawan dibentangkan, tiada satu pun yang menyentuh tentang subsidi yang akan dihentikan. Berkemungkinan besar ia tidak akan dilaksanakan lagi dalam masa terdekat (?).\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nSubsidi Bersasar Minyak RON95 Akan Guna Data Kenderaan JPJ\n\n\nTetapi, ia tetap boleh dilaksanakan memandangkan ia di bawah bidang kuasa Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Kos Sara Hidup.\u00a0\n\n\nBilakah subsidi bersasar ini akan dilaksanakan? Mungkin tahun ini, mungkin tahun depan. Kita tunggu saja.\u00a0\n\n\nBelanjawan Madani?\u00a0\n\n\nAda yang sambut baik belanjawan yang dibentangkan.

Here are the highlights.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Looks\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe new S60 is the first Volvo car made in the US. The brand\u2019s launch and factory there reinforces Volvo Cars\u2019 commitment to the US, an important market for the company.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe new S60 is the first Volvo to be sold without a diesel variant. This is showcasing the company\u2019s commitment to electrification and long-term future beyond the traditional combustion engine. Last year, Volvo Cars were the first global car maker to announce that from 2019 and beyond, all-new models will be electrified.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 2019 S60 shares the same Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform, safety technology and infotainment system with the model\u2019s V60 estate sibling launched earlier this year. This makes it one of the safest cars on the road.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt will be available with a T5 \u2013 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol with 250 hp, T6 \u2013 2.0-litre turbo and supercharged petrol with 316 hp, T6 Twin Engine \u2013 2.0-litre Plug-in Hybrid with 340 hp and the top ranging T8 Twin Engine \u2013 2.0-litre Plug-in Hybrid with 400 hp.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVolvo has mentioned that the new S60 is made to be a true drivers car. Volvo is one of the first few car manufacturers in the world to implement a full scale state of the art simulator for driving dynamics. The simulator played a vital role in the development of the chassis performance in the new S60. This allowed engineers to test and evaluate wheel suspensions, brakes and geometry early in the development process.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt will come with City Safety with Autobrake technology that assists the driver in avoiding potential collisions, and is the only system in the market to recognise pedestrians, cyclists and large animals. The system also now engages auto braking for oncoming collisions.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere will be a Polestar Engineered performance upgrade for the T8 Twin Engine Plug-in Hybrid variant that will have better wheels, brakes, suspension and ECU and boost the combined output to 415 hp.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat do you think? How will this go against the BMW 3-Series, Mercedes C-Class and Jaguar XE?\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nProduct Presentation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWe\u2019re disappointed that Volvo Car Malaysia has decided to not offer the V90 anymore. \nClick here\n for reasons why we think it\u2019s the everyday family car.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCarsome your car!

Under the Mercedes-Benz brand, the GLA combines the best from the brand\u2019s highest-volume segments, the compact cars and SUVs. In terms of sales, more than 1 million units of the first GLA has been sold.\n\n\nExterior Design and Dimensions\n\n\n\n\nThe overall proportions of the new GLA are now more SUV focused than its predecessor. It retains the powerful shoulders on the body and the coup\u00e9-like lines of the side windows. The doors themselves reach over the sills, hence improving ease of access and at the same time, keeping the door frames free of dirt and improving impact protection in the event of a side collision.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll-round protective cladding adds structure and emphasises the vehicle\u2019s off-road nature. When it comes to numbers, the new GLA is bigger in all areas except for its length which has been reduced by 14 mm. Notable changes include the height increase of 104 mm and the added wheelbase and width at 30 mm each.\n\n\nInterior quality and Size\n\n\n\n\nThe new GLA interior leaps over the predecessor\u2019s layout with the latest in the company\u2019s cabin interior design. Despite following the A-Class\u2019 structure, designers have made the GLA stand out on its own with the tubular door handles and centre console.\n\n\n\n\nThe widescreen version with two 10.25-inch displays across the driver and centre dashboard is a freestanding unit. Included as standard is the intuitively operated MBUX infotainment system (Mercedes-Benz User Experience). MBUX can be individually configured with the aid of a range of options and comes with augmented reality navigation, learning software, and voice control amongst others.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nComfort is improved as the seating position for both driver and front passenger is higher and more upright than in the outgoing model. Utility has been made better as well \u2013 the rear seats can be optionally moved front and back by 14 cm and the rear seat backrests set steeper to make room for cargo at the rear.\n\n\nInterior dimensions are more spacious than before. Across the board, there\u2019s more rear legroom, headroom, elbow and shoulder room.\n\n\nDriving Assistance Systems\n\n\n\n\nThe 2020 GLA features the latest driving assistance systems that offers the driver cooperative support and providing one of the highest standards of active safety in the compact car segment. The list from the Driving Assistance Package includes the turning manoeuvre function (autonomously stops turning upon sensing approaching vehicle), exit warning function (works together with Blind Spot Warning for passengers when exiting vehicle), and also a warning when pedestrians are detected near zebra crossings.\n\n\n\n\nAll the latest systems above is further supported by Active Steer Assist, Active Speed Limit Assist, Evasive Steering Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Active Blind Spot Assist, Active Brake Assist, Pre-Safe Plus and more.\n\n\nEngines\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTwo engine models have been announced under this new GLA. The first is the GLA 200 with a 1.33-litre engine developing 163 hp and 250 Nm of torque at 1,620 to 4,000 rpm, and mated to a 7G-dual clutch transmission. The other is a GLA 35 4Matic AMG with a much more powerful 2.0-litre unit developing 306 hp and 400 Nm of torque at 3,000 to 4,000 rpm mated to an eight-speed AMG Speedshift dual clutch transmission.\n\n\nWith all these new features that comes with the 2020 GLA, why not go back memory lane with \nour review of the outgoing Mercedes-AMG GLA 45\n before it arrives!\n\n\nTime to upgrade to the Mercedes-Benz GLA today by \ns\nelling off your used car\n to Carsome to make space for your new car!

Maxi Mini can now plug-in!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWait, there\u2019s another new Countryman apart from the Plug-In Hybrid?\n\n\nMini Malaysia also surprised the launch with the introduction of the Cooper S Countryman Sports, a variant that is powered by a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged engine with an 8-speed sports automatic transmission. The Sports is fitted with the John Cooper Works Aerodynamic Kit and sports suspension.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat is most interesting to note is that these two new Countryman\u2019s are locally assembled, making Malaysia the first market in the world outside of the Netherlands to assemble these cars.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n360 \u2013 Countryman Plug-In Hybrid\n\n\n\n\n360 \u2013 Cooper S Countryman Sports\n\n\n\n\nWhat does the Plug-in option do?\n\n\nWith the option to plug-in and charge, the Countryman Plug-In can be charged via an electric socket to full in about five hours via the 230V plug from your home or a little over three hours from a public charging station. Owners of the new Countryman Plug-In Hybrid will also have a 1-year free subscription to the ChargeNow service across 270 ChargEV stations nationwide.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDoes it look different than the other Countryman variants?\n\n\nFor the Plug-In Hybrid variant, there\u2019s the distinct \u201ce\u201d badges on the rear and side. The Cooper S badges and finishing in red is now finished in yellow \u2013 on the door sills, front and rear as well as the start switch in the cabin.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nInside, the Countryman Plug-In Hybrid features Mini Yours Walknappa Leather Steering wheel, and the Piano Black Illuminated interior surface on the dashboard and leather Cross Punch Upholstery in Carbon Black.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe Countryman Sports however is clearly dressed more aggressive with its JCW Aerodynamic Kit on the outside with a similar interior with red accent stitching and JCW touches.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHow much power does it have compared to the other Countryman\u2019s?\n\n\nThe 1.5-litre turbocharged engine at the front is a three-cylinder unit delivering 134 hp with 220 Nm of torque from 1,250 to 4,300 rpm. Additionally, there\u2019s an electric motor at the rear with an output of 87 hp and 165 Nm of torque. Combined, the system is 221 hp with 385 Nm of torque mated to a six-speed Steptronic transmission. Century sprint is achieved in just 6.8-seconds.\n\n\nIn comparison, the Countryman John Cooper Works has an output of 231 hp with 350 Nm of torque from a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHow does the All4 All-Wheel Drive system work?\n\n\nIt is good to note that the petrol engine powers the front axle, while the electric motor powers the rear. Here the Mini eAll4 all-wheel drive is one that is signalled from the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) unit, that analyses the road situation and applies the intelligent traction. This precise interaction of front combustion and rear electric is the same principle as that from the BMW i8.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat can the eDrive modes do?\n\n\nAuto eDrive\n provides pure electric driving up to 80 km/h until the combustion engine kicks in at higher speeds during rapid acceleration or when the battery charge falls below seven per cent.\n\n\nMax eDrive\n mode offers pure electric driving up to 125 km/h until the combustion engine comes in at higher speeds or on kickdown.\n\n\nLastly\n Save Battery\n allows the combustion engine to charge the batteries via the starter generator, preserving battery charge state above 90 per cent.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat other interesting features are there?\n\n\nBoth variants feature Mini Driving Modes and Park Assist for easier guided parking, a 6.5-inch touchscreen on the Plug-In with Mini Excitement Package and a larger 8.8-inch unit with Professional and head-up display on the Sports variant. There\u2019s evidently more goodies that will excite any new Mini owner.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat about fuel consumption and battery range?\n\n\nThanks to the PHEV nature, it consumes an average of only 2.1-litres per 100 km of fuel. Emissions is as low as 49 grams of CO2 per km. All-electric driving range is up to 42 km with a maximum speed of up to 120 km/h.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat are the colours available?\n\n\nFor the Countryman Plug-In Hybrid, the Black roof variants is paired with Chili Red, British Racing Green, Thunder Grey, Light White and Melting Silver. Island Blue is paired with the White roof.\n\n\nThe Sports features the same shades except for the Melting Silver and Island Blue.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHow much is the new Countryman range?\n\n\nCountryman Cooper S Sports = \nRM 245,888\n\n\nCountryman Plug-In Hybrid = \nRM 255,888\n\n\nCountryman John Cooper Works = \nRM 348,888\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nShould you get it?\n\n\nThe new Mini Countryman\u2019s are better value than the variants it replaces. Essentially the whole new range is about power and features. Very suave. We like.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat about aftersales?\n\n\nBoth new Countryman\u2019s are covered by a Mini 4-year Unlimited Mileage Warranty with Free Scheduled Service. Additionally, there\u2019s the 5 Year Roadside Assistance program, with services that include a 24-hour, 365-days-a-year Accident and Help on the Phone and On The Spot Hotline, Free Towing Services when needed, Replacement Vehicle, Seamless Mobility, Accommodation, Mobility Services Solutions and Repatriation services.\n\n\nThe battery warranty for the Countryman Plug-In Hybrid is six-years or up to 100,000 km.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car through Carsome and find out how you can use our bidding platform to connect yourself to over 800 dealers nationwide!\n\n", "Carsome Author", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

First revealed at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, the X7 Concept is the brand\u2019s largest and most luxurious BMW SUV to date. Together with the Concept 8 Series that was previewed earlier this year, the brand is using these vehicles to showcase a new direction in luxury and design.\n\n\nMore than just a Concept vehicle, both this X7 and \n8 earlier this year\n are a precursor to a future production model, as seen in the \nnew 2018\u00a08-Series\n.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDesign\n\n\n\n\nThe Concept X7 provides a presence unlike any other BMW X vehicle. At the front, the bold and striking vertical kidney grille paired with the wide yet slim elongated twin LED headlights although different are a signature for the brand. A closer look at the headlamp units when illuminated, are a display for BMW\u2019s Laser lights with a blue signature X to denote its new flagship status within the range.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMove towards the side and the silhouette of high-set lines of the flanks project a strong character. When viewed from the left, the 23-inch multi-spoke rims are a prominent display, and is housed within circular wheel arches \u2013 a first for a BMW X series.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nOnce at the rear, the immense size of the vehicle does highlight its flagship status, but it is at this angle that the X7 displays its SUV nature. The slim rear lights with its three-dimensional L-shape are similar to those in the Concept 8 as well.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWelcome space in luxury and comfort\n\n\n\n\nMuch like the Concept 8, the X7 features an interior that is ambiently spacious and sophisticated. Six seats are arranged in three rows, with the third at the rear easily accessible from the second. While we believe the production X7 as standard will be a seven-seater, there could also be an option for six seen here. A mix of olive-bronze with smoke white leather covers the seats and gives off an amazing contrast and exclusivity.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx64nNrTUFI\n\n\nThanks to the Y structure in the panoramic roof, the complete glass piece turns the cabin into an open space for the front and rear passengers \u2013 an experience of freedom and lightness unlike any X vehicle.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDigitalised and personalised\n\n\n\n\nBacklit crystal glass that cover control elements like the selector lever, iDrive controller and steering wheel add to the sophistication in these concepts. Infotainment is also available for the second-row passengers, and as concepts go, passengers will have access to highly personalised, digital services for entertainment or productivity. Content can even be shared with others on board through touch gesture, forwarding an article to the next-display or transfer an address from their email directly into the car\u2019s navigation system.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBMW\u2019s Concept X7 iPerformance will be displayed at Bangsar Shopping Centre until 22\nnd\n July 2018.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nClick here\n to find out why there\u2019s probably a iPerformance vehicle for you.\n\n\nAlso \ncheck out the new Mini hatch\n with super cool tail lamp designs.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car through Carsome and find out how easy it is!

The opulent hypercar was first announced at the Geneva Motor Show in March and has appeared at the recent Fullerton Concours d\u2019Elegance in Singapore. The Sport here denotes upgraded suspensions and 18 kg lighter than the standard Chiron.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        Bugatti was established in 1909, with its headquarters today located in Molsheim, Alsace, France. The company\u2019s founder Ettore Bugatti, was born and raised in Milan, Italy into a family that was an important Art Nouveau furniture and jewellery designer. Thanks to this, Bugatti\u2019s were known to have great detail, engineering and artistic style.\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        The company\u2019s modern renaissance is credited to the Bugatti Veyron, the Chiron\u2019s predecessor with an impressive list of performance numbers, price and world records \u2013 the Super Sport being the fastest production car in the world, and the Grand Sport Vitesse as the world\u2019s fastest production roadster. A total of 450 Veyron\u2019s were made.\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        Today the Bugatti Chiron has taken the mantle of the brand forward. Unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, the Chiron is named after Louis Chiron, a Mon\u00e9gasque racing driver that has achieved the most number of podium finishes for the brand.\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn terms of numbers, the Chiron does not disappoint. These are the remarkable facts that make it a car unlike any other.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        The Chiron\u2019s engine is an 8.0-litre W16 quad-turbocharged unit that develops 1,479 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque.\n    \n\n\n\n        Maximum torque of 1,600 Nm is achieved from 2,000 rpm all the way to 6,000 rpm, ensuring power at any rpm.\n    \n\n\n\n        While your regular car has one catalytic converter and one radiator, the Chiron has six and 10 respectively. Also the engine receives more than 60,000-litres of air per minute at full capacity.\n    \n\n\n\n        Maximum top speed is 420 km/h (electronically limited). But the car\u2019s theoretical top speed is over 480 km/h.\n    \n\n\n\n        The sprint from zero to 100 km/h requires only 2.5-seconds; to 193 km/h just 6.5-seconds and 305 km/h in under 14-seconds.\n    \n\n\n\n        While the sprint speed is impressive, the acceleration at 80 km/h to 120 km/h is a mere 1.8-seconds.\n    \n\n\n\n        The max rate of the third gear at 6,700 rpm is 200 km/h.\n    \n\n\n\n        The size of the front brake discs are 16.5-inches in diameter.\n    \n\n\n\n        At full speed, the Chiron will deplete its whole 100-litre fuel tank in less than seven minutes.\n    \n\n\n\n        The speedometer\u2019s top speed reading goes up to 500 km/h.\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        Nothing speaks exquisite audio than in the Chiron\u2019s tweeters.

Just a year ago, Ferrari unveiled the track focused 488 Pista that\u2019s a hallmark of how the brand has applied technology from the racetrack into its everyday Ferrari. How does the F8 Tributo ups that? Read on to find out.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nAerodynamics\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    State-of-the-art aerodynamic solutions incorporated into the car\u2019s body help ensure that the extraordinarily powerful engine can be fully exploited. As with the 488 Pista, the F8 Tributo\u2019s aero package is directly evolved from the track and it adopts several features from the 488 Pista designed to help manage engine heat, including, for instance, the rearward-angled front radiators and the dynamic engine air intakes positioned either side of the spoiler instead of on the rear flanks.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The front of the car is characterised by the S-Duct, a solution that made its debut on the 488 Pista, but which has been redesigned to suit the extensive modifications made to this area of the car. The result is that the S-Duct alone contributes an impressive 15% to the overall increase in downforce compared to the 488 GTB. The new, more compact, horizontal LED headlights allowed Ferrari\u2019s aerodynamicists to incorporate new brake cooling intakes in combination with those on the outside of the bumper, the aim being to improve air flow throughout the entire wheelarch and thereby avoid having to increase the size of the braking system to cope with the car\u2019s greater speed.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nFunctional Design\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The new Lexan rear screen showcases the engine compartment and also brings a modern twist to the most distinctive design element from Ferrari\u2019s most famous V8, the F40. The louvres help extract hot air from the engine compartment without impacting the efficiency of the blown spoiler which has been further evolved to increase downforce generated at the rear. The spoiler wraps around the tail lights, visually lowering the car\u2019s centre of gravity and allowing a return to the classic twin light cluster and body-coloured tail, another signature of the early 8-cylinder berlinettas like the very first in the legendary series, the 1975 308 GTB.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nPower\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The numbers for the F8 Tributo are phenomenal. Considering that this will be replacing the 488 GTB, power will come from a 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 that produces 710 hp and 770 Nm of torque. Century sprint is achieved in just 2.8-seconds. This makes the F8 Tributo the most powerful V8 in Ferrari\u2019s history and for a non-special series car.\n\n\n\n\n    While these numbers are identical to the 488 Pista, we are in awe that it almost matches that of the 2012 F12 Berlinetta which has a 6.3-litre naturally aspirated V12 that outputs 730 hp and 690 Nm of torque.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Instantaneous power is matched by exceptional handling thanks to advanced vehicle dynamics solutions. These include a new version of the Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer (FDE+) which can be activated in the manettino\u2019s RACE position for the first time, a move designed to make performance on the limit easier to reach and control for an even greater number of drivers.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nInterior\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The cabin retains the classic, driver-oriented cockpit look typical of Ferrari\u2019s mid-rear-engined berlinettas, but every element of the dash, door panels and tunnel, has been completely redesigned. The new generation HMI (Human Machine Interface), complete with round air vents, new steering wheel and controls as well as a new 7\u201d passenger touchscreen display, significantly enhance the on-board environment for driver and passenger.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The steering wheel rim is smaller in diameter to enhance the level of tactility and make the car feel even more agile. In addition, weight reduction measures have cut the car\u2019s dry weight by 40 kg compared to the 488 GTB.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nFerrari F8 Tributo Official Video\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nPrefer SUVs?

After all, it is our first national car brand. The company has produced numerous vehicles over the years from compact hatchbacks like the \nProton Iriz\n to practical multipurpose vehicles (MPVs) like the \nProton Exora\n. So let\u2019s take a look at how Proton started and the cars it produced over the years.\n\n\n\n\nHow Did Proton Start?\n\n\nIn 1979, the Deputy Prime Minister at the time Tun Dr. Mahathir presented the concept of a \u201cMade in Malaysia\u201d car to the Cabinet.\u00a0 The project was approved in 1982 and Proton was later founded on 7 May 1983. Proton was headed by Tun Dr. Mahathir, who by then was Prime Minister. It was owned by Khazanah Nasional, which is Malaysia\u2019s sovereign wealth fund.\n\n\nProton started its journey by partnering with Mitsubishi Motors to produce its first car, which led to the launch of the Proton Saga on 9 July 1985. The first generation \nProton Saga\n is based on the Mitsubishi Lancer Fiore four-door sedan, powered by a 1.3-liter Mitsubishi Orion 4G13 engine. The parts and technology for all Proton cars were provided by Mitsubishi in the beginning but Proton later produced its own parts and designed most of its vehicles.\n\n\n\n\nThe First Icons: Proton Saga, Wira, and Satria\n\n\nThe Proton Saga quickly grew to become Malaysia\u2019s favorite car, capturing a 64% domestic market share in the below 1600 cubic centimeters (cc) car segment in 1986. In 1987, the Proton Saga Aeroback hatchback variant with a 1.5-liter 4G15 engine was launched. Proton exported these two models to the United Kingdom in March 1989. These models set the record for the \u201cFastest Selling Make of New Car Ever to Enter the United Kingdom\u201d.\n\n\nProton launched the Proton Saga Iswara on 15 August 1992 which had the same Mitsubishi platform as its predecessor but with new Proton styling. The Iswara was popular among buyers and was widely used as taxis on Malaysian roads. In 1993, Proton introduced a larger, better-equipped car \u2013 the Proton Wira sedan, based on the fourth-generation Mitsubishi Lancer. Later in the year, a hatchback version, the Proton Wira Aeroback was launched. The Wira is a unique car in Proton\u2019s history as it is the only car manufactured by the company to come with a 2.0-liter diesel engine option besides several petrol engine options.\n\n\nView Listing:\n \nCARSOME Certified Proton Sagas for sale\n\n\nView Listing:\n \nCARSOME Certified Proton Iriz for sale\n\n\n\n\nProton later launched the three-door Proton Satria hatchback in 1994 and the two-door Proton Putra coupe in 1996, both of which were based on the Wira. In 1995, Proton\u2019s first D-segment sedan, the Perdana was launched. It is based on the seventh generation Mitsubishi Eterna. While it originally had a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, it was later offered with a 2.0-liter V6 engine in 1999. The \nProton Perdana\n V6 was widely used by the Malaysian government as official vehicle.\n\n\nIn 1996, Proton introduced the Proton Tiara, a compact hatchback with a 1.1-liter engine based on the Citroen AX. The same year, Proton acquired an 80-percent stake in Lotus Group, the British automobile manufacturer. Proton learned from Lotus\u2019 experience producing sports cars and improved its expertise in tuning and developing suspension systems. Thanks to Lotus\u2019 contributions, the Proton Satria GTi, one of Proton\u2019s most sought-after cars, was launched in 1998. It also wore a \u2018Handling by Lotus\u2019 badge on the rear hatch.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nA Brief History of The Proton Saga\n\n\n\n\nProton\u2019s Learning Curve: Proton Waja, Gen-2, Persona, Exora\n\n\nProton\n started the 21st century by launching the Proton Waja, a C-segment sedan in August 2000. It had a modified Mitsubishi Carisma / Volvo S40 chassis with an in-house designed body. As Proton\u2019s own Campro engine was still in development, the Waja was offered with a 1.6-liter Mitsubishi 4G18 engine at launch. Proton then launched the Arena in 2002 which is a compact pickup truck based on the Proton Wira platform. In 2004, the Proton Gen-2 liftback was launched. It also had the new Campro engine, making it the first Proton with an in-house engine.\n\n\nTo fill a gap in its compact hatchback lineup, Proton launched the Proton Savvy, an A-segment hatchback in 2005. It was an indirect successor to the Proton Tiara and was intended to compete against the \nPerodua Myvi\n but was discontinued in 2011 due to slow sales. In 2007, Proton launched the \nPersona\n sedan which replaced the Proton Wira. It is based on the Proton Gen-2 but was priced lower and offered more luggage capacity. The Proton Persona continues to be sold to this day and has gone through extensive styling and mechanical changes over the years.\u00a0\n\n\nView listing:\n \nCARSOME Certified Proton Exora for sale\n\n\n\n\nA Proton Exora sold for RM34,800 on CARSOME\n\n\nProton finally launched the second generation Proton Saga on 18 January 2008, 23 years after the first Saga\u2019s launch. Built on a stretched Proton Savvy platform, it was developed in-house by Proton with a brand new design. Proton then broke into the multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) segment with the \nExora\n in 2009, built on Proton\u2019s next-generation P2 platform. As Malaysia\u2019s first home-grown seven-seater MPV, the Exora offered excellent value and practicality which helped it become a favorite among buyers.\n\n\nView listing:\n \nCARSOME Certified Proton Persona for sale\n\n\nProton\u2019s Tanjung Malim Manufacturing Plant\n\n\nIn November 2003, the Proton Tanjung Malim Manufacturing Plant in Perak began operation, marking a new milestone for Proton. It is part of the Proton City project spanning 4,000 acres in Tanjung Malim consisting of residential, recreational, industrial, educational, and commercial areas. With 60-percent of the line being automated, the Tanjung Malim plant has an annual production capacity of 150,000 vehicles which can be increased to 1 million.\u00a0\n\n\nCombined with the first manufacturing plant in Shah Alam, Proton is able to produce 350,000 vehicles a year. It also produced several cars without using Mitsubishi\u2019s platform which paved the way for more in-house developed vehicles.\n\n\n\n\nA Proton Prev\u00e9 sold for RM 28,400 on CARSOME\n\n\nA New Dawn: Proton Prev\u00e9, Iriz, X70, X50\n\n\nThe 2010s saw numerous new in-house developed models from Proton and even a change in the company\u2019s ownership making this decade arguably the most eventful for the company so far. In November 2010, Proton launched the \nProton Inspira\n which is a rebadged Mitsubishi Lancer exclusive to the Malaysian market. Proton also unveiled the new turbocharged 1.6-liter CamPro CFE engine capable of producing power and torque comparable to a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter engine. Proton would later reuse this engine in the Proton Exora,\u00a0 Prev\u00e9, and \nSuprima S\n.\n\n\nOn 16 April 2012, the company launched the \nProton Prev\u00e9\n, a C-segment sedan that became the first Malaysian car to achieve a five-star safety rating in the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP). The next year, in 2013, the Proton Suprima S was launched as the hatchback counterpart of the Prev\u00e9. It improved upon the Prev\u00e9\u2019s handling and drivetrain to provide a sportier driving experience. In December 2013, Proton unveiled the second generation Proton Perdana which is a rebadged eighth-generation Honda Accord. It was exclusively used by Malaysian government officials and civil servants so it was never sold to the public.\n\n\nView listing:\n \nCARSOME Certified Proton Preve for sale\n\n\n\n\nA Proton Iriz sold for RM25,400 on CARSOME\n\n\nOn 25 September 2014, the Proton Iriz was launched. It is a B-segment hatchback that is Proton\u2019s alternative to the Myvi. Although its sales numbers are not as big as its competitor, the Iriz is widely considered to be a better driver\u2019s car thanks to Proton\u2019s ride and handling. And this has earned the Iriz quite a fanbase. As of March 2022, it is also the only Malaysian car in production to be \nhomologated by the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Internationale de l\u2019Automobile (FIA)\n to compete in international motorsport.\n\n\nA New Achievement: The Release of Four New Models in a Year\n\n\n2016 saw several new developments in Proton including the introduction of a new Proton logo and the release of four new models. On 14 June, Proton launched a facelift of the Honda Accord-based Perdana and opened it for general sale to the public. On 23 August, it launched the new \nProton Persona\n which is now a B-segment sedan. It is based on the Proton Iriz with similar proportions except for the extended boot. Proton then launched the third generation Saga on 28 September and Suzuki-based Ertiga on 24 November.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nA Proton Persona sold for RM34,900 on CARSOME\n\n\nThe new Proton Saga is still built on the same platform as the previous generation but has a revamped exterior and interior. This made it a more refined car with better comfort and reduced noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). The \nProton Ertiga\n, on the other hand, is a rebadged Suzuki Ertiga MPV. Although it can fit up to seven people, it is classified as a six-seater as the middle seat of the middle row only has a lap belt. After the launch of the second generation Suzuki Ertiga, Proton did not continue producing the MPV and it was discontinued in 2019.\n\n\nView listing\n: \nCARSOME Certified Proton X70 for sale\n\n\nView listing:\n \nCARSOME Certified Proton X50 for sale\n\n\nA New Future for Proton with Geely\n\n\nProton has been facing some difficulties over the years which lead to its shrinking market share. And that has been the case even after Khazanah sold Proton to DRB-HICOM. In 2016, the government granted the company a soft loan of RM 1.5 billion with one of the conditions being a mandatory tie-up with a foreign automobile company. While several companies have expressed interest, DRB-HICOM finally sold 49.9-percent of its stake in Proton to Chinese carmaker Geely in June 2017.\n\n\nFollowing this new deal, Proton had Dr. Li Chunrong join the company as CEO. With Geely\u2019s assistance, Proton has produced two brand new models: the \nProton X70\n in 2019 and the \nX50\n in 2020. The X70 is a C-segment SUV based on the Geely Boyue. While it is a rebadge, the X70 had various styling and handling inputs from Proton to make it a car with a Malaysian identity. The X70 was initially fully imported from China but it has been locally assembled since February 2020.\n\n\n\n\nA Proton X70 sold for RM90,900 on CARSOME\n\n\nThe second vehicle to come out of the Proton and Geely partnership is the Proton X50, launched on 27 October 2020. It is a B-segment SUV based on the Geely Binyue, also with styling and handling inputs from Proton. It is also fully locally assembled with locally-made parts making up 40 percent of the vehicle. Both the Proton X70 and X50 have an overall five-star ANCAP safety rating, advanced wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT), and turbocharged engines co-developed by Geely and Volvo.\u00a0\n\n\nThese vehicles also introduce new levels of refinement and Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS) safety features to the Proton lineup. This allows Proton to develop better vehicles and provide more value to its customers.\n\n\nGet a CARSOME Certified Proton for Peace of Mind\n\n\nWith our large selection of CARSOME Certified \nProton cars\n, you can rest assured that any Proton you buy is in great condition and free from damage.\u00a0\n\n\nEach CARSOME Certified car has undergone a 175-point inspection as well as a full professional refurbishing to ensure that it\u2019s not only roadworthy but looks impressive.\n\n\nFurthermore, \nCARSOME Certified cars\n come with a CARSOME Promise so you can have peace of mind in your purchase.

It is known for making affordable, reliable vehicles that can run for years without major issues. And this reputation has helped it secure a strong presence in Malaysia with well-loved models such as the \nCorolla\n, \nVios\n, Land Cruiser, \nHilux\n, \nInnova\n, and many more. Having been around for almost a century, the brand has a rich history. Let\u2019s take a look at Toyota\u2019s journey through the years.\n\n\n\n\nHow Did Toyota Start?\n\n\nLike many other car manufacturers, Toyota started its journey in 1924 producing other products, which, in this case, were automatic looms. The company was initially known as Toyoda Automatic Loom Works before it changed its name from Toyoda to Toyota in 1936. In 1933, Kiichiro Toyoda, son of the founder, Sakichi Toyoda decided to build cars and took a trip to Europe to research how to build internal combustion engines. The result was the Type A engine, completed on 25 September 1934, and the A1 prototype sedan, completed the following May.\u00a0\n\n\nThe company then changed its name from Toyoda to Toyota in 1936 following a public competition to design a new logo for the company. The company initially produced G1 trucks and Model AA passenger cars until World War II when its plants were used for war efforts. After the war, Toyota and other Japanese automakers struggled to continue operations due to a shortage of funds, but thanks to the rebuilding of Japan\u2019s economy, Toyota started to turn things around.\n\n\nIn June 1953, it produced the prototype of the Toyopet Crown and released it in 1955. It was the first passenger car to be fully designed and built in-house and was well received by buyers from around the world. The Toyopet Crown was the car that introduced Toyota to the world, and the company started its export program aggressively, bringing models like the Land Cruiser off-road truck to various markets including Latin America, Australia, and even Malaya.\n\n\n\n\nImage Source: Autobuzz\n\n\nThe Beginnings of Toyota\u2019s Journey in Malaysia\n\n\nToyota first entered Malaya in 1956 when Asia Motor imported the FJ25L Land Cruiser. The imported Land Cruiser was a two-door off-road model with a 3.9-liter six-cylinder Type F petrol engine. In February 1968, Toyota started assembling the first models in Malaysia at the Champion Motor plant in Shah Alam. The first cars to be assembled there were the completely knocked down (CKD) \nToyota Corolla\n KE10 and Corona T40, both C-segment sedans. The plant had an annual production capacity of 11,500 units.\u00a0\n\n\nView listing:\n \nCARSOME Certified Toyota Vios for sale\n\n\nView listing:\n \nCARSOME Certified Toyota Yaris for sale\n\n\nOver in Sarawak, Sarawak Motor Industries started assembling the Land Cruiser which was a fitting vehicle for the state\u2019s jungle terrain. The Land Cruiser was assembled alongside BMW sedans. However, the plant closed in 1986 due to under-utilization and increasing competition.\u00a0\n\n\nGoing back to Shah Alam, Champion Motor was later renamed Assembly Services Sdn Bhd (ASSB) in 1975 and even now remains as the exclusive assembler of Toyota vehicles in Malaysia. In September 1982, the ASSB Shah Alam plant began assembling Liteace vans which are light commercial and passenger vans. Just a month later, Toyota and United Motor Works (UMW) established Sejati Motor, a joint venture company that then acquired ASSB.\n\n\nExpanding Its Lineup: From Sedans to MPVs\n\n\nToyota then launched the Corolla AE82 in 1984. It was the first front-wheel-drive Corolla and was available in sedan and liftback versions. In 1987, Sejati was renamed UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd which remains to this day. At the turn of the century, Toyota introduced the Camry in 1995 and the Unser in 1998. The \nCamry\n replaced the Corona and continues to be the brand\u2019s main D-segment sedan. The Toyota Unser, on the other hand, was an affordable eight-seater multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) with rear-wheel-drive and high ground clearance. The production of the Unser ended in 2005 when it was replaced by the \nToyota Innova\n.\n\n\nThe brand had several new launches in the 2000s with the new AE120 Corolla Altis in 2001, the first-generation \nVios\n in 2003, the first-generation \nAvanza\n in 2004, Toyota\u2019s new Innovative International Multi-purpose Vehicle (IMV) family in 2005, and the third-generation hybrid \nPrius\n in 2009. The IMV platform uses a ladder frame for light/pickup trucks, sports utility vehicles (SUVs), MPVs, and passenger cars. It introduced the \nToyota Hilux\n, Innova, and \nFortuner\n. In 2011, Toyota reached an important milestone by producing a total of 1,000,000 vehicles in Malaysia showing just how much Malaysians love a Toyota. This can be seen by the consistently high prices that \npre-owned Toyotas\n command on the used car market.\n\n\nView listing:\n \nCARSOME Certified Toyota Corolla for sale\n\n\nA New Plant and Cars for the Next Generation\n\n\n\n\nThe ASSB Bukit Raja Plant\n\n\nWhile the Shah Alam manufacturing plant was able to produce 50,000 vehicles a year, it was clear that Toyota needed a newer assembly plant to produce new generations of vehicles. In May 2016, ASSB announced the construction of a new Toyota assembly plant in Bukit Raja, Klang. While this plant focuses on energy efficient vehicles (EEV) like the Toyota Vios and \nYaris\n, the Shah Alam plant focuses on larger vehicles such as the Hilux and Innova.\n\n\nToyota has continued to launch new models in recent years with a new, aggressive design language and a new platform in the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA). The TNGA platform underpins Toyota\u2019s new cars and focuses on stability, agility, and driver visibility to improve the overall experience for both the driver and passengers.\u00a0\n\n\nTwo welcome additions in the Malaysian market in 2016 were the Toyota Alphard and \nVellfire\n. These luxury MPVs were only previously available through the gray market, but thanks to high demand, Toyota made them officially available through UMW Toyota.\u00a0\n\n\nView listing:\n \nCARSOME Certified Toyota Camry for sale\n\n\nView listing:\n \nCARSOME Certified Toyota Avanza for sale\n\n\n\n\nA Toyota Corolla sold for RM119,900 on CARSOME\n\n\nIn 2018, Toyota launched the new Camry at Kuala Lumpur International Motorshow (KLIMS) 2018 and introduced the all-new Rush SUV in the same year. The following year in 2019, Toyota launched the all-new Corolla and the GR Supra, its long-awaited sports car built in partnership with BMW. Most recently, Toyota launched the Corolla Cross in 2021 and the hybrid version in January 2022. Only one month after its launch, the Corolla Cross Hybrid already accounts for 40 percent of the total Corolla Cross sales making it the most popular non-luxury hybrid vehicle in Malaysia.\n\n\nView listing:\n \nCARSOME Certified Toyota Innova for sale\n\n\nGet a CARSOME Certified Toyota for Peace of Mind\n\n\nWhen you buy a pre-owned car, you don\u2019t always get the assurance that it\u2019s in great condition even if it\u2019s a Toyota.

But today, the debut of Grand Basel in Switzerland is one that aims to celebrate the car as an art form. In the words of the organisers, the show is the first to present the automobile in the cultural context of art, design, architecture and lifestyle.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The show features over 100 of the world\u2019s most exceptional automobiles \u2013 cars that have been selected from the view of an independent advisory board, encompassing leading figures from the cultural, design and architectural experts and artists. Here\u2019s a preview of the cars at this weekend\u2019s exhibit.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The short-wheelbase 250 GT was the company\u2019s vision of the original road-legal racing car. The 250 GT SWB Berlinetta was the first production road car from Ferrari to be fit standard with disc brakes. This particular car with the chassis 2111GT is a very special example as it was used by Enzo Ferrari between February and September 1961. The 3.0-litre V12 Colombo engine could be ordered tuned for the road or on the track.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n1954 Pegaso Z-102 Series II Saoutchik Cabriolet\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The Z-102 is a unique car that moulds the best from the European region. Originally known as a manufacture of trucks and busses, the car is Pegaso first foray into sports cars in 1951. The Spanish brand is powered by a bespoke V8 engine designed by former Alfa Romeo chief engineer Wilfredo Ricard.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The car was made with a no-expense-spared approach, with bespoke features that were extremely expensive to build, hence why only less than 90 cars were made. This Cabriolet is a one-off example finished by French company Saoutchik and represents a true rarity in European automotive history.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n1947 Cisitalia 202 SC\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The name of the brand derives its name from a business conglomerate by industrialist and amateur racing driver, Piero Dusio. Consorzio Industriale Sportivo Italia\u2019s model 202 road car was birthed from the idea of agile and lightweight automobiles, made from a bespoke aluminium body by Pinin Farina at Villa d\u2019Este in 1947.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The 202 is an aesthetic masterpiece and a design achievement that would go on to transform the shapes and styles of post-war automobiles. Some has referred the car as the \u2018genesis of modern car design\u2019, which in the eyes, isn\u2019t an exaggeration. The car exhibited in Grand Basel was restored from a \u2018barn find\u2019 condition to concours level.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n1956 Porsche 550 1500 RS Spyder\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The 550 Spyder was introduced at the 1953 Paris Motor Show with clean elegant lines on top of the 1500cc four-cam flat-four engine designed by Austrian Dr. Ernst Fuhrmann. The roadster with a mid-engine was quite a success, often beating more powerful and established rivals.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    With a weight of only 550 kg, the Spyder\u2019s success is also one that brings with it a less-than infamous association \u2013 when film star James Dean was killed in his 550 Spyder on the way to a road race in California. The particular 550 Spyder on exhibition was the winner of its class at the 1956 German Gran Prix at N\u00fcrburgring, making it a significant piece in automobile history.\n\n\n\n\n    Further shows are planned for 2019 in Miami and Hong Kong.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nImages are courtesy of Grand Basel\n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here\n to see why the Bugatti Chiron Sport is the brand's latest hypercar wonder!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHead back to the past with Bugatti's Type 35 racer! \nFind out why\n its one the company's most popular cars!\n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nSell your car through Carsome and get that dreamcar of yours today!\n\n", "Tags\nEvents\nLifestyle", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

By Lap 2, the front row runners built a healthy gap from the pack while Kenneth Koh from Panglima City tried to close in on Patrick Tam for third place.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    As the race continued, it was Brendon Lim that was seen being the fiercest contender in class despite sustaining his earlier damage as he relentlessly chased Brendan Paul for gold with only a 0.4 second gap between them.\n\n\n\n\n    The end of Race 1 and 2 saw Brendan Paul taking the Championship title and Brendon Lim as well as Patrick Tam taking places two and three.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nPromotional Class\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The \nPromotional Class\n was up next, this may have been aimed at celebrity racers, but the quality of racing did not showed signs of dwindling at all. The racers received their share of oohs and ahhs from the spectators in all the venues. Shukri Yahya grabbed pole position and was joined by Shawn Lee in the front row.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    As the lights changed, there was no stopping Shukri and Shawn as the duo charged away from the pack with Diana Danielle in tow joining the boys in front. As the race entered lap 3, the gap between the leading duo and the rest of the pack opened to five seconds. Lap 5 saw a better performance by Shukri as the gap opened to 1.4 seconds between him and Shawn Lee.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Best Of The Action\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    With a tussle between Shukri and Shawn overtaking each other, the Promotional Class ended without incident, putting Shukri Yahya first, Fattah Amin second and Diana Danielle took the final place on the podium and credited the finish to the support and love of her family who came out to cheer her on in this final event.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nSuper Sporting Class\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The \nSuper Sporting Class \nwas the race to watch as the top drivers of the Vios Challenge were expected to race hard for pride, podium and prize, as the championship winner would win a Toyota Vios, cash and pride as the first Vios Challenge winner. Championship leader Tengku Djan started from his qualifying position of 7\nth\n on the grid while his main rival William Ho started in pole, Kenny Lee in 2\nnd\n followed by Boy Wong in 3\nrd\n and Ser Ming Hui in 4\nth\n place.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Ser Ming Hui managed a superb start and chased Boy Wong down relentlessly on the opening laps. On Lap 7, he took his chance in Turn 3 to dive inside the ST Wangan driver but could not get pass. Battle for Boy Wong\u2019s 3\nrd\n place continued till the final lap when at turn 3, Ser dived on the inside of the right hander for a gap that was hardly there.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The race stewards were not happy and imposed a penalty on him for the contact thus he was docked the position and finished in 4\nth\n. William eventually won the race and was leading Djan in the final standings. It was an interesting prospect as it meant that Djan needed to win while William had to finish no lower than 3\nrd\n to secure the title.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The start saw Tengku Djan and Mark Darwin made a perfect start as the lights went off, but some contact, a spin and engine issues brought the race into a little challenge for Mark, Ser Ming Hui and William Ho. Yet, all the Prince of Drift could do as he could only hope for troubles by William who was running out of his view by then. As Tengku Djan took the chequered flag with Mark Darwin in second and William Ho in third place, it was thought to be the final results.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    To their surprise, the result didn\u2019t stand as the race stewards later deemed William Ho\u2019s continuous contact with Ser Ming Hui unsporting and was docked two positions. Ultimately, this cost him the championship in the Super Sporting Class as Tengku Djan was crowned the overall winner.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    It was a thrilling end to a thrilling season of excellent motor racing in the inaugural Vios Challenge. The quality of racing the intensity of racing on street circuits was something Malaysians had not experienced in a very long time.

You could put your car up with a sign at a Sunday car mart sale, head to a car dealer and negotiate for the best price, or even advertise it through a print or online classifieds. While the latter most is the one of the most common method for an individual to sell their car online, it does pose a number of drawbacks.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nOpening Yourself To Unwanted Situations\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: \nArticleCube\n\n\n\n\n\n    Sellers that place their cars up on the most popular sites in Malaysia often say that out of the many messages received via email or mobile, only a handful are of genuine enquiries. Worse yet, sellers from these sites often receive lower than market value offers, come across scammers looking to purchase your vehicle without a formal meet-up, spammers sending unwanted text or even buyers wanting to meet up at less than desirable places. Situations such as these make it difficult for sellers to conveniently let go of their cars.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nIt Takes Time\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nvia GIPHY\n\n\n\n\n\n    Depending on your car\u2019s make and model, it could take an even longer time to receive a reasonable offer from a genuine buyer. Hence why some say that the easiest and fastest solution to selling your car quick is usually to a car dealer. Largely car dealers will buy your car despite its condition, but the drawback is that you might get a lower offer; and the offers you get will vary according to dealers.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nWaiting For The Loan\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    If the car you\u2019re selling is under five years old, the chances that you\u2019ll get an interested buyer going through a loan is high. This is where it becomes tricky. Unfortunately, getting a loan still requires a dealer to mediate the process as the bank needs an authorised entity to handle the letter of undertaking. This also includes the processing fee from the dealer, Puspakom inspections and ownership transfer at JPJ (Road Transport Department).\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nSelling Your Car Fast\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Where Carsome stands between all these points is the possibility to sell your car in the easiest way possible, without the need for haggling. By using our online platform, you would only need to input the make and model of your car, schedule an appointment at our inspection centre, and either accept our fair price offer, or opt for bidding. The latter most allows your vehicle to be put on our bidding platform that connects you to over 900 dealers nationwide. And since all the transfers and paperwork will be handled by us, you wouldn\u2019t need to run around unnecessarily.\n\n\n\n\n    What\u2019s the best thing of all? The whole process is free!

For many, the Supra needs no introduction. The previous generation A80 has been for many years the halo car for enthusiasts and tuners and even has been in popular culture thanks to the film The Fast and The Furious. But the fifth-generation is here, and many are thrilled by its return.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n\n\nThe new Supra is a collaborative agreement between BMW and Toyota, with the former very much being main structural platform that the Supra is based on. Underneath the hood, the Supra has a 3.0-litre turbocharged straight 6-cylinder petrol that outputs 335 hp and 500 Nm of torque from 1,600 to 4,500 rpm. From a standstill, the Supra will be able to sprint to 100 km/h in just 4.3-seconds to a limited top speed of 250 km/h.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n \n\n\nOn the outside, the styling is based on Toyota\u2019s 2014 FT-1 Concept, with that distinctive DRL at the front and even a silhouette of the A80 Supra at the rear, but with a modern interpretation. The GR Supra sits on 19-inch twin-spoke alloys wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres, has an electronically controlled limited slip differential at the rear, and adaptive variable suspension.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nInside, the Supra will be familiar with BMW owners. There\u2019s the Toyota Connect Infotainment 8.8-inch touchscreen unit with available input from the iDrive controller in the centre, head-up display, paddle shifters and dual-zone climate control.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n\n\nWhen it comes to safety, there\u2019s 7-Airbags, Vehicle Stability and Traction Control, ABS with EBD, Brake Assist as well as active preventive safety in Toyota\u2019s Safety suite. This includes Lane Departure Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Monitor, Forward Collision and Rear Collision Warning, as well as Rear Cross Traffic Alert.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n\n\nThe Supra will be priced from \nRM 568,000\n and will come in shades of Prominence Red, Lightning Yellow, White Metallic, Deep Blue Metallic, Silver Metallic, Black Metallic, Ice Grey Metallic and Matte Storm Grey Metallic. The latter two costs RM 5,000 and RM 12,000 more than the standard colours.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWant to know more about the Toyota Supra? \nClick here\n for a brief history of the legendary Supra!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nLife is short!

Inspired by one of McLaren\u2019s greatest racing drivers, the McLaren Senna is dedicated to help the driver to be the best they can possibly be, and absolutely can. Unveiled at the recent Geneva International Motor Show, the Senna GTR is a track only version of the Senna, which in itself has been built without compromise.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The McLaren Senna GTR shares its 4.0-litre twin turbocharged V8 engine with the road-legal McLaren Senna. However, track-only modifications have led to more power and greater torque than the combined 789 hp and 800 Nm in the road car. With the engine power increased to at least 814 hp, the car will be faster in a straight line than the road model.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The front splitter of the McLaren Senna GTR Concept is considerably larger than the road-car equivalent and improves front aerodynamic performance in conjunction with the active front aero blades. The car will have a wider track \u2013 and enlarged front and rear fenders accomodate this modification \u2013 while the outer skin of the doors are 'pushed in' as far as possible towards the centre of the car to better channel airflow.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nThe McLaren GTR Concept as seen in the 2018 Geneva International Motor Show.\u00a0\n\u00a0\nCredit: \nAutocar\n\n\n\n\n\n    The McLaren Senna GTR Concept produces more power and torque than the road-legal McLaren Senna and can achieve the quickest McLaren lap times outside F1\u2122. The McLaren Senna GTR will be similar in weight to the 1,198 kilograms lightest dry total of its road-legal relation model. To further highlight how significant this car is, it is the first-ever McLaren to use the GTR moniker as with the F1 that was victorious at the 1995 24 Hours of the Le Mans; second was the McLaren P1\u2122 GTR.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0Freed from the need to comply with restrictive roadd legislation and unbound from the limitations of motorsport regulations, the McLaren Senna GTR Concept features a significantly enhanced rear diffuser. The complete aerodynamic package creates something truly remarkable: up to 1,000 kilograms of downforce, 200 kilograms more than the road car. The rear clamshell of the McLaren Senna GTR Concept is the lowest of any McLaren and aids aerodynamic performance and cooling.Prominent 'Gurney flaps', ahead of a succession of stepped louvres, direct air away from the rear deck, and the resulting area of low pressure draws hot air out from high-temperature radiators and engine bay. This also ensures the airflow does not impact on the efficiency of the rear wing.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Ayrton Senna first arrived at McLaren in 1988 as an outstanding young driver but he wasn\u2019t known yet as the complete champion he would eventually become. As he was starting his fifth season in Formula 1 with six wins under his belt, Senna converted all that promise into three World Drivers\u2019 Championship.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nAyrton Senna, McLaren-Honda, 1989.\u00a0 \u00a0 Credit: \nMcLaren\n\n\n\n\n\n    The McLaren Senna is a remarkable legacy built to commemorate one of McLaren\u2019s greatest racing drivers. The Instituto Ayrton Senna (IAS) was established in 1994 by his sister Viviane, six months after his fatal crash at San Marino GP.

And it is here for the first time in South-East Asia through Mercedes-Benz Malaysia's EQ Brand Exhibition at The Waterfront in Desa ParkCity from the 4th till 7th May 2018. If you're unable to attend, read on to find out what the Concept EQ is about.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    At the heart of it, the Concept EQ is a reinterpretation of Mercedes-Benz\u2019s design philosophy of sensual purity to create an avant-garde, contemporary and distinctive electro-look. The design of the visionary show car has been reduced to the essentials, revealing an alluring progressivity.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nElectric-Vehicle Architecture\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The new generation of electric vehicles will be based on an architecture developed specifically for battery-electric models. The wheelbase, track width and other system components, especially the batteries, are variable thanks to the modular building-block system. More importantly, the vehicle concept is optimised to meet every requirement of a future-oriented, battery-electric model family.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    As a SUV crossover, the Concept EQ has a width of 1948 mm, stands at 1560 mm and its length is 4730 mm.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nDriver-Oriented Cockpit\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The focus of the cockpit is on simple, touch-based controls with a new electro-look reflecting the exterior styling. Additionally, the design of instrument panel with its large, floating wide-screen display is tailored to the driver. The innovative, digital user experience differentiates Concept EQ from the controls in today\u2019s vehicles, paving way to the future of user interaction at Mercedes-Benz.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nNew Light Signature for Electric Cars \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    There is a new exterior and interior light signature surrounding the vehicle. The distinguishing mark of Concept EQ is the \u201cBlack Panel\u201d front grille: the white-illuminated Mercedes star and all the light elements in it. Also, the blue-illuminated surround gives a completely new interpretation of the typical Mercedes radiator grille.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The rear lamps take up the contour of the \u201cBlack Panel\u201d, which are surrounded by an LED optical fibre in electric blue, which changes to red when the vehicle is moving. Similarly, at the front end, the clasp-like light signature changes to orange as soon as the direction indicator is operated.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nAdaptive Ambience Lighting \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    A special feel-good atmosphere is produced by the adaptive ambience lighting on board Concept EQ. There are lighting elements from the light strip underneath the windscreen, on the side and middle air vents, seats, door handles and interior door panels, on the centre console and around the Mercedes star in the steering wheel too.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nPowerful Electric Drive and Estimated 500 Kilometre Range\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Two electric motors exist on the front and rear axles and the battery is located in the vehicle floor. Meanwhile, the electric all-wheel drive with axle-variable torque distribution gives an output of up to 402 hp in the highest variant and a maximum torque of up to 700 Nm. The Concept EQ makes it to 100 km/h in under five seconds. In part with the intelligent operating strategy from Mercedes-Benz, the Concept EQ has a range of up to 500 kilometres.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The drivetrain is powered by its high-efficiency lithium-ion battery originating from Daimler subsidiary Deutsche ACCUMOTIVE. Thanks to their modular design, the innovative battery systems have a model-specific total capacity of over 70 kWh. The introduction of fast charging by the Combined Charging System (CCS) allows for fast charging with a far greater capacity. In future, a charging capacity of up to 300 kW is planned which would enable 100 locally emission-free kilometres to be recharged within five minutes.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nDriver Assistance Systems for Maximum Safety\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The Concept EQ feature the latest driver assistance systems from Mercedes-Benz. The official maps and navigation partner HERE, gives the system the intelligence to use highly accurate maps, which allows the vehicle to automatically adjust the speed and driving dynamics. As well as that, experts at Mercedes-Benz believes in the intelligent combination of data from different sensors otherwise known as \u201csensor fusion\u201d as one of the key requirements to automated driving.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nIntelligent Driver Assistance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The focus of the user interface is on the optimal driver assistance as the main concern is to make best possible use of the available energy in the batteries to achieve the best possible range. The innovative consumption display provides the driver with feedback on their driving style while drawing attention to energy-saving possibilities.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn top of the EQ exhibition at The Waterfront in Desa Park City, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia also unveiled a two-bay EQ charging station which joins the other three EQ stations in Bangsar Shopping Centre, Sunway Pyramid and Pavilion KL.\n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more about Mercedes-Benz's brand for electric mobility-EQ by \nclicking here\n!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlanning to sell your car?

The philosophy basically strives to bring incompatible ideas together, akin to having a small room, yet spacious, or an exhilarating driving experience yet fuel efficient. With the new LS, Lexus has created a new standard of flagship luxury not by adding more features and technology into the cabin, but follows the \nOmotenashi\n principle \u2013 Japanese hospitality for both the passenger and driver.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nAmbience & Climate\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The inviting and luxurious passenger space is part of the subtle effects of interior lighting that helps dictate the mood for the interior space. Using Japanese cultural elements of how \nAndon\n lanterns used to illuminate Japanese tatami rooms during the Edo Period years ago, LS designers were inspired by the gentle-glow that provides a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere to reduce stress during night driving.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    For Climate Control, the LS uses infrared sensors to measure body surface temperatures of each occupant, Lexus Climate Concierge conducts integrated control of heating and cooling so that each passenger are at their most comfortable.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Furthermore, new sound suppression methods have lowered exterior noise more significantly than all other previous LS models. Active Noise Control cancels certain frequencies by detecting the sound of the engine and lowering noise levels through antiphase sound from the audio speakers.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    In the LS, 3D surround Mark Levinson QLI Reference Surround Sound System has 23 speakers in 16 locations throughout the cabin including the rear ceiling. To add on, a 16-channel Mark Levinson Reference Amplifier produces 2,400 watts to provide enough power for what Lexus calls, an \u2018unparalleled audio experience\u2019.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nConvenience\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Another example of \nOmotenashi\n is displayed even before passengers enter the vehicle \u2013 the air suspension system automatically raises the car by 30mm to welcome the driver. Inside, the LS\u2019 seat bolsters that hold you in after ingress and flatten out during passenger egress; seat belt holders that erect with retracting seats and steering-wheel column for easier driver exit, the new LS 500 serves hospitality in gentle convenient ways.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Rear occupants each have an 11.6-inch 720p LCD display at the front of them. The system can play DVDs, Blu-Ray discs or connect to a portable device via HDMI in the armrest. DLNA and Miracast is also supported via Wifi.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nCraftsmanship\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Craftsmen and women in Lexus are but a select few. Known as \nTakumi\n, they are the most senior craftspeople in Lexus that are responsible for ensuring quality in every stage of the car-making process. For example, at the company\u2019s Kyushu factory in Japan which has one of the highest production outputs, only 12 \nTakumi\n\u2019s are responsible for the meticulous accuracy of every stitch.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    As standard, owners of the new LS 500 in Malaysia will be able to select trims of Art Wood \u2013 Organic or Herringbone patterns, as well as an optional Kiriko Glass Ornamentation and Hand-Pleated Door Panels.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nArt Wood\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTakumi\n application for Art Wood has merged the natural beauty of wood with Lexus\u2019 designs. Art Wood Organic uses precise layering technique and a natural gloss coating to bring out vibrant, contrasting, flame-like grain patterns that is an 18-stage process with two months to complete.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Art Wood Herringbone takes this further by using techniques used to craft fine musical instruments such as hand-grafting of small pieces of wood to create delicate symmetrical patterns. Here another two months and 14 separate processes are required, including individual painting and polishing to bring out the woodgrain.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nKiriko Glass Ornamentation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Traditional Kiriko patterns are created using a technique that involves hand-cutting clear colours and delicate lines in a piece of glass. For the LS, Lexus sought Kiriko glasswork artisans from Japan to design the original template, which then took 18 months for a manufacturing process to be developed into a finished component. This is then reproduced using advanced glass production technology that scans and digitises every facet. It is then treated using advanced reinforcement technology to ensure the panel is strong and safe enough for the interior.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nHand-Pleated Panels\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe LS' pleated door trim is a collaboration between the craft of Yuko Shimizu, the expertise of \nTakumi\n's at her studio Sankyo Co., and textile manufacturer Seiren Co. to bring the creation to life.\n\n\n\n\n\n    The process of the hand-pleated door panels took four years to develop and can only be done by the human hand. It mirrors the work of the finest Origami artists, requiring individual sheets of fabric to be accurately folded like a sheet of paper. Depending on the time of day and cabin illumination, the finished panel changes in appearance with an interplay of light and shadow to form three-dimensional patterns, with each fold expressing the Lexus \u201cL\u201d motif.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nSpindle Grille\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYasuhiro Nakashima, master craftsman for Lexus' spindle grille inspects the grille mold.\n\n\n\n\n\n    Even something such as Lexus\u2019 new Spindle Grille requires constant artisan involvement due to its delicate complexity that requires high level of human skill in design and fabrication states to complete. The new design features an intricate span of interlocking \u201cL\u201d motifs that is made as a single integrated piece.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nComfort\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    What is luxury and design without comfort? Lexus developed the new seating designs to suit two types of customers: those who want to drive, and to those who will mostly be chauffeured as a passenger. Here the LS 500 include front seats that are 28-way power and pneumatic adjustable, and 22 ways for the rear seats.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The rear-centre armrest console is used to control the position of the rear seats, audio, climate, sunshade and interior lighting functions. Three pre-set rear seating positions are: by default, \nBusiness\n; \nEntertain\n, which reclines the seat for comfortable viewing of the entertainment monitor, and \nRelax\n, which moves the front passenger seat furthest forward, reclines the seatback and extends the leg ottoman for maximum legroom.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    In striving for seat comfort perfection, the brand consulted Japanese Shiatsu experts to help design the massage systems for the front and rear seats that give the right degree of thumb-like pressure. Front seats have five separate massage courses over the lumbar, upper and lower body regions. The rear seats however adds on the thighs and back as well as a world-first spot heaters for the shoulder and lower back to provide targeted heat stimulation similar to that of a Shiatsu massage.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nExperience Amazing \u2013 Craftsmanship\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nLexus' new LS 500 is priced from RM 799,000.

Here\u2019s Why", "By\n \nCarsome Author", "05/10/2018", "\n\n\n\n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Volvo Car Malaysia has launched the highly anticipated all-new XC40 in Malaysia. This marks the brand\u2019s first introduction of a compact SUV and a vehicle that defies the conventions of Volvo throughout the years.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    For the XC40, there are dozens of possible exterior and interior colour combinations. This makes the new compact SUV the centre of an individuals choice. Volvo Cars allowed its designers the freedom to create a car that brings vibrancy, individuality and playfulness that the small premium SUV segment lacks. A car Volvo has never designed before.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    During the development phase of the XC40, the brand\u2019s customer research team spent much time investigating how city folk around the world use their car on a daily basis. This included how they store their belongings in their cars. Customers were also asked how they would like to see the interiors of their cars improved.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    As an example, in order to provide better storage space in doors of the new XC40, Volvo designers chose to move the speakers from the doors to the dashboard. This led to the development of the world\u2019s first, air-ventilated dashboard-mounted sub-woofer. This allowed the designers to then create enough storage in the door compartment for a laptop and tablet, or a few water bottles, and subsequently prevent items in the door bins to rattle.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Other focuses were to make usable space for phones, which includes wireless charging, USB ports, and convenient additions of a small fold-away hook in the glove compartment, storage space under the front seats, card slots in the dashboard, a large storage area in the console for a tissue box, and even a removable bin for waste.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Inspiration for materials, patterns and colour options come from street fashion, high-end designer goods and popular culture. Exterior colour combinations range from solid monochromatic theme, to dual compositions in vivid colours.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Interior colours include Lava Orange carpet, Oxide Red upholstery and new and distinctive trims and materials with designs inspired by urban architecture and cartography (maps). The Momentum trim is the fashion oriented in the line-up, with vivid exterior colour combinations, while R-Design and Inscription trims are more dynamic and premium.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    At the trunk, Volvo has designed a smart floor system that can fold and separate luggage and also allows the use of full luggage space without removing the floor from the car. The rear seat electronic folding mechanism instantly provides a flat loading floor at the touch of a button.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nHere are the key points for the Volvo XC40 in Malaysia\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    At launch, Volvo Car Malaysia offers a single variant for the XC40. This is in the T5 AWD R-Design that is locally assembled in Shah Alam. The XC40 is the brand\u2019s first car in the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) platform, which is meant for the brand\u2019s smaller models in the upcoming line-up.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    In terms of specifications, the local XC40 T5 AWD R-Design features a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that outputs 252 hp and 350 Nm of torque from 1,800 to 4,800 rpm.

It features the fog lights integrated into the air intake grille in an X-shape.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTowards the top of the bonnet, a narrow red line spans the center. When paired with the low positioned LED headlights and when the daytime running lights are active, the LED strip in the headlight mirrors the red line. This continuously illuminated LED strip on the radiator grille creates an entirely new and unmistakable headlight design of the GTI.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA view of the GTI\u2019s side profile and the model signet in the script is visible on the side of the front wing panel. This section also features the eye-catching 17-inch Richmond alloy wheels, unique to the GTI and inside, red brake calipers. The side sills in black are more extensive and come together to form the front spoiler and rear diffuser. Before heading towards the back design, the C-pillar is one that is a characteristic element of all versions of the Golf \u2013 the design visually propels the vehicle body forwards.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCommanding the GTI\u2019s rear end is the LED tail lights, centrally placed GTI script under the Volkswagen (VW) emblem, sporty diffuser and two tailpipes, one on each end.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRefined interior\n\n\n\n\nThe cabin welcomes the passengers to a GTI flavored Golf. Details include the sports steering wheel with three silver double spokes and recessed emblem, the gear knob in the shape of a black golf ball (manual transmission) and, GTI sport seats in a new tartan design called Scalepaper with black side bolsters.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe driver has full operations to the Innovision cockpit \u2013 a 10.25-inch digital instrument and a 10-inch navigation system. The interior lighting, including the dash panel, door trims and, storage compartments, is embedded as part of the displays, offering a spectrum of 30 configurable colors. Essential equipment with every GTI includes a multifunction steering wheel, single-zone automatic climate control, the press and drive comfort start system, Bluetooth and two USB-C ports.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBasic equipment\n\n\n\n\nIn general, every new Golf is fitted with assist systems including the lane assist (lane keeping) system, front assist autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian monitoring, XDS electronic differential lock and Car2X (local communication with other vehicles and the traffic infrastructure).\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nEngine and power\n\n\n\n\nThe GTI is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that outputs 242 hp and 370 Nm of torque; this is an increase of 15 hp and 20 Nm in comparison to the current facelifted seventh-generation GTI. It will be mated to either a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDriving dynamics\n\n\n\n\nThanks to the intelligent Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) continuously reacts to the road surface and driving situation while taking account of various elements including steering, braking and acceleration maneuvers. When using the driver profile mode, the reduction in body motion can be changed as desired. The required damping is calculated for each wheel and adjusted at the four shock absorbers within fractions of a second.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nConsequently, DCC always provides the highest level of driving comfort and ensures ideal driving dynamics in combination with the driving dynamics manager. In the latest DCC generation, the vehicle setup can be extended in Individual mode to go beyond the existing range of the fixed Comfort, Eco and Sport modes. The driver can accurately set and store their driving profile using a digital slider. Beyond the Comfort setting, the body is \u201cdecoupled\u201d from the road surface as much as possible, thus boosting driving comfort. Beyond the Sport setting, there is an extended setting range with maximum damping for minimized body movements and straightforward handling for that unadulterated GTI feeling.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRead below for more stories!\n\n\nIf you have not noticed, Volkswagen has updated its brand design and logo! \nFind out more here\n!\n\n\nBrush up on your VW Golf GTI history and watch our tribute video \ncelebrating 40 years of the Golf GTI\n!\n\n\nYou can now get a certified Volkswagen Das WeltAuto car in Malaysia! \nClick here\n to find out more!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWant to sell your car with a service that is professional, convenient and fast?

It has been widely talked about \u2013 styling, features and best of all the price. Reviews and comments have been mixed thus far, with individuals saying that it is the best car Perodua\u2019s ever made, while others claim that they would rather go for a Honda Jazz instead.\n\n\n\n\n    For us, we took the Myvi 1.5 Advance variant over 1,000 km in the span of a week to find out what this car is all about, and what we thought about it from a first generation owners\u2019 perspective. Is it really the best local compact car at the moment? Should you buy it? What are your thoughts?\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nStyling\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    It certainly has very much improved from the first and second generation. Perodua has moved away from basing the current Myvi on the Daihatsu Sirion with something completely new. The 2018 Myvi is the first Perodua to have an upper body completely designed in-house. We and those who\u2019ve seen the car like the overall design both inside and out. Hence we feel that we don\u2019t have to delve any more into this area.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nConveniences Only Previous Myvi Owners Will Know\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    After spending much time with the car, we realised a few things that you could only know by having the car over an extended period of time. No doubt most of the features would\u2019ve been covered extensively, but here are some things you have to know.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        The LED Headlamps with Levelling Adjustment is much brighter and with height levelling, can illuminate distances of quite a few cars ahead. We realised even at its highest setting, the beam never shines into the cabin of the car ahead to disrupt their vision.\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        Rear passenger seats can be reclined. Even with the incredibly spacious rear legroom, rear passenger seat backrests have two positions.\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        The Multimedia unit is the most interesting of all. It features Smart Link and Mirroring for Android phones. Through the unit, Spotify can be used, together with Musixmatch for lyrics. YouTube is also compatible through display mirroring, however Netflix wouldn\u2019t work (we tried). The Navigation unit also (at certain tolls) informs the driver how much change is needed for specific areas.\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        Oh, and that Eco Idle \u2018Leaf\u2019 lamp at the instrument cluster? It can be disabled through the instrument system.\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nDriving Impressions\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The new Myvi most certainly has better soundproofing than the previous whilst sitting in rush hour traffic. However while driving, the cabin noise still can be improved further. Driving feel is more solid than before even at Malaysian motorway speeds and more. It does feel more refined and has less roll thanks to the body around bends, with enough feedback for the driver to have more confidence behind the wheel.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Advance Safety Assist and the four safety features of Pre-Collision Warning, Pre-Collision Braking, Front Departure Alert and Pedal Misoperation Control all work as advertised. However, the circumstances in which they will actively work successfully, highly depends on the parameters that have been set for each system to work.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    As an example, Pedal Misoperation Control works successfully only if the car is parked facing an object, and the gear lever is moved from Park to Drive before the system kicks in to cut power and prevent a frontal collision. Should the transmission be placed from Neutral to Drive, the system wouldn\u2019t work successfully when we conducted a test.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Similarly, the Pre-Collision Warning and Braking will only work in succession should the warning first actively alert the driver before the Braking is applied. We did test the system multiple times, however it is good to note that it didn\u2019t work everytime we tried.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    It is important to know that Perodua has highlighted the ASA as a support system to reduce the chances of low speed collisions, and that the driver should still be in control of the vehicle.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nVerdict\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    To date, there have been over 36,000 bookings on the new Myvi and we aren\u2019t at all surprised. The 2018 Myvi is certainly the best generation and vehicle Perodua has ever produced thus far. From a first generation\u2019s owners\u2019 perspective, it certainly is leaps and bounds better than any of the previous Myvi\u2019s on offer. Truth be told, we are really proud of the achievements that Perodua has made with this car. From its looks, to build and improvements on passive and active safety, the Myvi is certainly on its way to retaking Malaysia\u2019s favourite compact car crown.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nFind out more and get up to speed on Myvi's full list of features! \nClick here\n to read up on it!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWant to know even more about the new Myvi? \nClick here\n for some facts you probably didn't know about the Myvi!\n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nSell your car through Carsome today!

Dulu, anda sudah biasa bersiar-siar dengan kereta kompak yang \nsporty\n tetapi dengan kehadiran anak ketiga anda baru-baru ini, anda menyedari bahawa sudah tiba masanya untuk menaik taraf kenderaan anda kepada sesuatu yang lebih sesuai dengan keadaan keluarga anda.\n\n\nSelepas mempertimbangkan semua pilihan yang ada, anda memutuskan untuk membeli kereta keluarga terpakai agar anda tidak membebankan situasi kewangan anda. Namun, membeli kereta keluarga boleh menjadi agak rumit terutama sekali jika anda baru sahaja memulakan hidup sebagai ketua keluarga yang besar.\n\n\n\n\nBerikut adalah beberapa perkara yang boleh anda pertimbangkan semasa membeli kereta keluarga pertama anda.\n\n\nRancang Untuk Masa Depan\n\n\nSebelum membeli kereta keluarga, bincangkan perkara ini dengan pasangan anda terlebih dahulu. Ini penting untuk memastikan kereta yang akan anda beli dapat memenuhi semua keperluan keluarga anda.\n\n\nDari kenderaan utiliti sukan kompak (SUVs) untuk keluarga kecil hingga ke van mini yang boleh memuatkan keluarga besar dengan selesa, terdapat banyak pilihan di pasaran jika anda sedang mencari kereta keluarga.\n\n\nKalau anda merancang untuk menambah lebih ramai ahli keluarga pada masa hadapan, van mini atau SUV tujuh tempat duduk adalah pilihan terbaik untuk anda. Tetapi jika anda berpuas hati dengan tiga orang anak, SUV kompak pun sudah memadai.\n\n\nSetelah membuat pilihan kereta yang anda mahukan, anda boleh mula memperuntukkan bajet bagi pembelian anda. Terdapat beberapa perkara yang boleh anda lakukan untuk membuat peruntukan bajet lebih mudah.\n\n\nSalah satunya adalah dengan menghantar kereta yang anda gunakan sekarang untuk diperiksa oleh Carsome supaya anda boleh menjualnya dan menggunakan wang itu sebagai modal untuk pembelian kereta keluarga di masa hadapan.\n\n\nSelain itu, anda juga boleh menggunakan ciri kalkulator pinjaman yang terdapat di halaman penyenaraian kereta Carsome untuk mencari kereta keluarga yang sesuai dengan bajet bayaran bulanan anda.\n\n\nPenggunaan Kerusi Keselamatan untuk Kanak-kanak\n\n\nApabila membeli kereta, orang ramai beranggapan bahawa kerusi keselamatan kanak-kanak boleh digunakan mengikut kapasiti tempat duduk penumpang di dalam kereta, tetapi ini tidak selalunya benar. Walaupun terdapat selak khas untuk menyangkuk kerusi keselamatan kanak-kanak di tempat duduk, tetapi tidak semua tempat duduk dalam kereta memilikinya.\n\n\n\n\nSangat penting bagi anda untuk memeriksa selak kerusi keselamatan kanak-kanak dengan betul, terutama sekali jika anda merancang untuk menambah lebih ramai anak kecil di masa hadapan.\u00a0\n\n\nSelain daripada selak, kesesuaian kerusi keselamatan kanak-kanak juga merupakan faktor penting untuk diambil kira semasa membeli kereta keluarga. Apabila anak anda membesar, kerusi keselamatan yang digunakan juga menjadi lebih besar dan kedudukannya juga akan berubah mengikut kesesuaian.\n\n\nPeriksa terlebih dahulu jika ruang yang ada mencukupi untuk anda memuatkan semua kerusi keselamatan kanak-kanak yang akan anda gunakan pada masa hadapan.\n\n\nRuangan Kargo\n\n\nSatu lagi faktor penting semasa anda membeli kereta keluarga adalah ruangan kargo. Dengan adanya bayi atau kanak-kanak, terdapat banyak barangan tambahan yang perlu dibawa dalam perjalanan untuk memastikan si kecil selesa dan selamat. Ini termasuk barangan seperti kereta sorong, beg lampin dan barangan bayi, mainan, katil mudah alih dan banyak lagi.\n\n\n\n\nMencari kereta yang boleh memuatkan barangan tersebut dalam perjalanan adalah sangat penting. Sebaik-baiknya, dapatkan kereta keluarga dengan ruang but sekurang-kurangnya 400 liter. Lebih besar ruang yang anda boleh dapat, lebih bagus.\n\n\nMemiliki tempat duduk boleh dilipat boleh dijadikan satu kelebihan bagi kereta keluarga yang akan anda beli. Ia boleh menggandakan ruang kargo anda dengan mudah apabila diperlukan.\n\n\nTambahan pula, ruangan simpanan kecil mungkin kelihatan seperti tidak penting, tetapi ia mungkin dapat memainkan peranan tambahan sebagai tempat penyimpanan barangan kecil dengan cepat.\n\n\nSebagai contoh, pemegang cawan boleh berfungsi sebagai pemegang botol susu semasa kecemasan, ruang bawah tempat duduk pula boleh dijadikan tempat menyimpan kasut atau mainan tambahan bagi anak-anak anda semasa dalam perjalanan.\n\n\nKeselesaan untuk Si Kecil\n\n\nKeselesaan adalah satu kemestian apabila membeli kereta keluarga. Kanak-kanak yang selesa dalam perjalanan jauh akan berkelakuan dengan baik dan anda juga dapat mengelak dari sakit kepala akibat dari melayan jeritan dan kerenah anak-anak.\n\n\nTitik keselesaan utama yang perlu diberi perhatian dalam pencarian kereta keluarga anda adalah fungsi kawalan iklim yang menyeluruh. Kalau dulu anda mesti kepanasan apabila duduk beramai-ramai di dalam van sekolah bersama rakan-rakan anda, kini fungsi kawalan iklim telah mengubah semua itu.\n\n\nDengan keupayaan kawalan iklim yang menyeluruh, anda dapat memastikan setiap inci kereta keluarga yang besar dapat kekal sejuk dan selesa. Dengan cara ini, semua orang di dalam kereta dapat merasa angin sejuk dari penghawa dingin tanpa perlu berebut.\n\n\nSatu lagi perkara penting yang perlu diberi perhatian adalah tempat duduk kulit. Apabila membawa kanak-kanak di dalam kereta, kemungkinan untuk mereka menumpahkan sesuatu dan mengotorkan kerusi kereta adalah sangat tinggi.\n\n\nDengan kerusi kulit, pembersihan akan menjadi lebih mudah dan anda juga tidak perlu risau tentang kesan kotoran yang akan ditinggalkan oleh anak-anak anda apabila mereka sedang bermain.\n\n\nCiri-ciri Keselamatan\n\n\nApabila membeli kereta keluarga, adalah sangat penting untuk mempertimbangkan ciri-ciri keselamatan yang dilengkapi untuk memastikan kereta itu sesuai untuk pemanduan harian anda serta perjalanan balik kampung bersama keluarga anda.\n\n\nKebanyakan kereta moden dilengkapi dengan teknologi keselamatan yang dipertingkatkan untuk menjadikan pemanduan lebih selamat, jadi sekarang merupakan masa yang paling sesuai untuk membeli sebuah kereta keluarga.\n\n\n\n\nBeberapa ciri keselamatan yang boleh anda perhatikan termasuklah kunci keselamatan kanak-kanak di bahagian pintu, beg udara (lebih banyak, lebih bagus), kamera pandang belakang, kawalan jelajah adaptif, sistem amaran titik buta dan seumpamanya.\n\n\nSelain itu, anda juga boleh menyemak penilaian keselamatan kereta yang bakal anda beli di laman web ASEAN NCAP di \nsini\n. Ini membolehkan anda memastikan bahawa kereta yang anda akan beli mempunyai piawaian keselamatan yang sesuai untuk memastikan anda dan keluarga anda selamat di jalan raya.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nTip Pembelian Kereta untuk Keluarga dan Ciri Keselamatan Yang Perlu Dipertimbangkan\n\n\nCarsome Je Lah untuk Ketenangan Fikiran\n\n\nJika anda sudah bersedia untuk mendapatkan kereta keluarga terpakai sebagai keretakeluarga pertama anda, Carsome sedia membantu.

The Croatian car manufacturer is known for developing electric sports cars, most famously the Concept_One, a car that was in the news last year after \nThe Grand Tour\n\u2019s Richard Hammond escaped a crash during a shoot in Switzerland. The Concept_One is in itself, a mind-bending culmination of performance numbers \u2013 1,224 hp, 1,600 Nm of torque, 2.5-second century sprint and 355 km/h top speed. Turns out, they\u2019ve topped those numbers with their latest car, the C_Two.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n0 \u2013 100 Under 2-seconds\n\n\n\n\nJust like the Concept_One, the C_Two\u2019s performance numbers are looney \u2013 1,914 hp, 2,300 Nm of torque, 1.85-second century sprint and a 412 km/h top speed. The C_Two has been made from the ground up and features a full carbon fibre monocoque with bonded carbon roof, integrated battery pack and merged rear carbon subframe.\n\n\n\n\nSince each individual wheel is powered by an electric motor, a pair of single-speed gearboxes apply drive to the front wheels while another pair of two-speed powers the rear wheels. Despite all that power, Rimac says that the C_Two has a 650 km range, another win for the EV category.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAerodynamic Efficiency\n\n\n\n\nFlaps in the hood alter the car\u2019s aerodynamic profile, while the rear wing adopts different positions according to loads as well as a full air-brake during heavy braking.

Today the world\u2019s most popular car badge is sold in over 150 countries and regions, with 16 plants in 13 countries worldwide. How did the Corolla begin?\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAs a result of a rapid rise in personal income thanks to the high growth of the Japanese economy, the prices of vehicles in the 1,000-cc class fell to 1.4 times per-capita income beginning around 1965. A momentum was created that led to wide-ranging motorization founded on economy passenger cars, and the dream of actually owning a car became a reality for the many \u201cdrivers on paper\u201d, people who possessed a driver\u2019s license but no car.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nToyota launched the Publica economy passenger car in 1961, but the sales volume did not increase as expected. To trigger full-fledged motorization required a new economy car that was low in price yet still fulfilled people\u2019s dreams.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTherefore, Toyota proceeded to develop the Corolla, a new luxury economy car positioned between the 800-cc Publica and the 1,500-cc Corona, targeted at the family car segment.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nUnlike the plain practicality of the Publica, the Corolla featured sporty design elements in other areas as well, such as the subtle curves in the body, and the semi-fastback form with a new relaxed roof line. Incidentally, a two door coupe-style Corolla with an even sportier image was released a year and a half later as the Corolla Sprinter. What happened after?

Participants used the latest 2019 Toyota GR Supra, the brand\u2019s flagship sportscar that was launched at that weekend itself in Malaysia, developed for competition in the Gran Turismo Esports. Not forgetting Thrustmaster that supplied the T-GT racing simulator for Gran Turismo Sport for the championship.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nA follow up to last year\u2019s debut, the championship made it return this year due to strong response from participants and the public.

Held once every few years, the Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show (KLIMS) for 2018 has brought in quite a few special vehicles, exciting previews and long awaited launches for the year. What makes this year exciting is the venue location and size at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) where it will be the biggest KLIMS ever in terms of floor space. Previously held for many years at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC), this year sees 74 participating companies occupying two levels and six exhibition halls. The 10-day motor show with the theme 'Beyond Mobility' is currently ongoing until 2nd December 2018.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nHonda Clarity Fuel Cell\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Visitors to Honda\u2019s booth at KLIMS 2018 will be able to view the brand\u2019s range of vehicles including the Japanese carmaker\u2019s Clarity Fuel Cell vehicle. The Clarity FCV is a model that converts hydrogen into electricity which then is powered to a 174 hp electric motor with 300 Nm of torque. Because it is hydrogen based, refuelling takes just minutes with an operating range at about 600 km\u2019s. However, due to its nature, the Clarity FCV is only offered on lease in countries like Japan, UK, Denmark and in California, USA. The car is in line with Honda\u2019s vision 2030 strategy in preparation of more enhanced electrification technologies in its models for a global market.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nToyota\u00a0iRoad\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The nimble and compact single seater i-Road is Toyota\u2019s concept for future mobility. Combining the safety of a car with the compact size of a motorcycle, the i-Road is an electric vehicle that\u2019s frugal, stable and enclosed. The front wheels move independently, so turning the steering tilts the vehicle into a lean. In terms of power, the lithium-ion batteries can provide about 50 km on a full charge running at an estimate 30 km/h.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nToyota FT-1\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    When unveiled at the 2014 Detroit Motor Show, Toyota did not disclose much about the FT-1. But years on, it\u2019s been confirmed in the form of the GR Supra Racing Concept and a sports car Toyota has been developing in partnership with BMW. The new Supra will share the same platform as BMW\u2019s latest Z4 and through uncovered documents, has indicated that it will come in both a straight six and four cylinder engines. Anticipation is high as the 2020 Supra will make its debut at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show in January.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nToyota TS030 Hybrid LMP1\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The Le Mans Prototype 1 was built and used in the 2012 and 2013 FIA World Endurance Championship season, where it was the first petrol-hybrid engine car to participate in the championship. Despite challenges and setbacks, the TS030 successor, TS050 Hybrid went on to win this year\u2019s 2018 Le Mans with a one-two finish, becoming the second Japanese manufacturer since 1991 to win at the world\u2019s oldest active endurance race.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nLexus LS+ Concept\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The LS+ Concept is Lexus\u2019 example for new autonomous technologies for its flagship car by 2020. Whether it is knowing when to join and leave a motorway, provide the driver a range of assistance including automatic-lane keeping, merging, overtaking, keeping the car in a safe distance plus using information from other cars to prevent potential issues. Lexus is using this new technology to break new ground, and it is calling it Highway Teammate. It is also a goal for the brand to achieve Level 4 autonomy on all types of roads.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nCrafted for Lexus\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The Japanese luxury brand also included an artistic installation known as the Lexus Crafted Parts Box. It features components from Lexus vehicles elaborately cut and uniformly painted to showcase the detail and craftsmanship of each Lexus component that\u2019s good enough to form an artwork.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nHyundai i30 N\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    In terms of unique number of previews, Hyundai\u2019s section at KLIMS 2018 has a list of the most. What\u2019s most exciting for us has to be their i30 N hatchback with Performance package outputting 271 hp and 353 Nm of torque from 1,450 to 4,000 rpm mated to a six-speed manual (there\u2019s shift lights in the instrument cluster, as well as launch control). With this Performance package on show, the i30 N sports 19-inch alloy wheels, Pirelli P-Zero tyres, 18-inch front brake discs and that century sprint time of 6.1-seconds.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nHyundai Kona Electric & Turbo\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Hyundai\u2019s compact SUV makes a debut in two versions, a fully electric vehicle with a 64 kWh battery and a capable range of up to 470 km and a 1.6-litre petrol with 175 hp and 265 Nm of torque mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. The former joins the brand\u2019s more sophisticated Nexo Fuel Cell Electric vehicle.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nHyundai Nexo Fuel Cell Vehicle\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The eco-friendly flagship for Hyundai is hydrogen powered like Honda\u2019s Clarity FCV. However, Hyundai isn\u2019t leasing the Nexo when it goes on sale before end 2018. In terms of power, the Nexo churns out 181 hp (127 hp from the fuel cell and 54 hp from the electric motor with a range of about 600 km.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nHyundai Accent\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    This will probably be more exciting for the masses than the ones above, as the Accent competes directly against the Honda City and Toyota Vios. The model seen at the show is powered by a 1.4-litre Kappa 4-cylinder unit with 99 hp, 132 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm and paired to a six-speed automatic. Equipment wise, there\u2019s keyless entry and start, front and rear parking sensors with rear camera, cruise control, six airbags, ESC and more. What do you think? More variety for Malaysians if this comes in?\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nPerodua X-Concept\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The Perodua of tomorrow takes shape in the company\u2019s latest X-Concept. The five door hatchback does have the \u2018X\u2019 theme throughout its design and shape, including the front fascia, grille, intakes, and lines and details in the concept. Suicide doors, dynamic lights and the full digital treatment is as a concept should be. Perodua says that the X-Concept is meant to be a connected car of the future, with access to maps, e-mails, car service appointments, weather and flight times.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Myvi GT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Who doesn\u2019t like a sporty hatchback? Perodua has taken the lengths to kit up the current generation Myvi with a GT badge. At the front, the complete front bumper has a large intake with DRLs at the sides. There\u2019s a noticeable red accent line from the front that goes into the headlamps, ala Golf GTI and its also visible on the lower bumper. At the sides, what visitors will notice is the 17-inch rims in gunmetal and the red Brembo calipers with cross-drilled rotors. At the rear, the red accent strip is also present along the lower bumper with twin exhaust pipes. Inside the Myvi GT gets quite an overhaul with red treatment on the dashboard, gear lever, bucket seats, and door trim. The steering wheel is a unique D-shape with alcantara.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Advanced Tech, Powered By Daihatsu\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The brand\u2019s booth at the inner section showcases a cutout hybrid system that Perodua says is based on Daihatsu technology. The system includes a battery source that supplies electricity when starting the engine, aiding efficiency; generates power and charges the battery simultaneously during acceleration and also converts kinetic energy during braking into electric power. The technology is compatible with existing Perodua Advanced Safety Assist features of Pre-collision Warning and Braking.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nUpcoming Perodua SUV\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Perodua has teased that something exciting is coming soon, hidden in a box at KLIMS 2018. While nothing much can be seen even through the peepholes, it\u2019s evident that it is based on the \nlatest Toyota Rush\n. Our experience with the Rush is very much positive, with a few crossover equipment seen in the current Myvi brought over to Toyota\u2019s seven-seater. Assuming Perodua will be continuing with its model names, this SUV could well be the next generation Perodua Nautica.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nNissan Note e-power\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    There isn\u2019t only one electric vehicle at Nissan\u2019s booth in KLIMS. In fact, we think the Note e-power is the most underrated vehicle on show this year. Unlike most hybrid vehicles that still merges a combustion engine with an electric motor for power, the e-power drivetrain uses its 1.2-litre 3-cylinder petrol combustion engine solely as a generator to charge the batteries. In the industry, this is currently called a \u201cseries hybrid vehicle\u201d.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    For Japan, this hybrid technology is unique, and globally similar technologies are in the BMW i3 range extender and Chevrolet Volt EV. Despite the 47-litre fuel tank size on a compact, Nissan claims that the Note e-power will be able to achieve a theoretical range of 1,300 km. The Note e-power is currently only sold in Japan, where it has variants of the Note, including a 4WD version.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nPeugeot 308 GTi\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Although it was previewed in 1 Utama just last month, the 308 GTi is accessible to visitors here. The 270 hp 1.6-litre turbo engine has 330 Nm of torque at 1,900 rpm mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Differences includes bucket seats with alcantara upholstery and red accent stitching, GTi badging, aluminium additions and more. Although Peugeot Malaysia\u2019s website doesn\u2019t have the 308 GTi listed, pricing seems to be approximately at RM 199,888 on-the-road without insurance.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nKenstomoto Valkyrie\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    While we don't focus much on motorcycles, this was too hard not to include. Seen at Art of Speed in MAEPS past July, the Valkyrie makes its appearance at the Art of Speed section at KLIMS. The bike is fully custom built with the purpose for show by designer Kenny Yeoh of Kenstomoto. Underneath, the engine is a Kawasaki Ninja 650R just 5 cm off the ground. There are plans to rebuild the bike for proper road use.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nCadillac Escalade 180\u201d\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The stretch Escalade limo has a description that reads \u201cwhite exterior with black interior, black lacquer and carbon fiber bars with fiber optics, wood floor, fibre optic ceiling, laser, strobe and neon lights, 2 TVs with DVD, premium sound system Bluetooth hookup, LED dome lights, mood lighting, and a driver partition.

This could mean that you\u2019re at risk coming out of your home, backing up at the mall\u2019s carpark or waiting at the traffic lights. The thing is, you could be the safest driver in the world, but when on the road, things can turn unpredictable at any time. What do you do? Follow these steps below, and you would have an idea on what to do next.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n1) Stay Calm \n\n\nAssess yourself. Are you injured? If you are not injured, exit the vehicle and assess the severity of the accident and the other party. If you are at the middle of the road and can move your vehicle\u2019s, do so at a safer location (side of the road).\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n2) Exchange Information With The Other Party\n\n\nTake down the details of the other vehicles and parties involved in the accident. This includes:\n\n\n\n\nCar registration number.\n\n\nCar model, model year and colour.\n\n\nDriver\u2019s Name, Address and Phone number.\n\n\nDriver\u2019s IC and Driving Licence number.\n\n\nIf you can, take pictures of the damage, and other details.\n\n\nWitnesses\u2019 Name, Address and Phone number.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n3) Is The Damage Severe? \n\n\nDepending on the accident, you could come to an agreement with the other party on settling the matter should it be a minor fender bender. Also note that if your repair costs are under a certain value, you might not be able to make an insurance claim. But if the damage is severe, proceed to make a police report.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n4) Make A Police Report \n\n\nWithin 24 hours of the accident. The officer at the police station will inquire into the accident and conclude on who\u2019s responsible for the accident and will issue a summons. You must pay the summons within a month.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n5) Call Your Insurance Company \n\n\nOr their Assistance hotline soonest possible. They will ask questions on the accident and will advise, as well as assist in arranging a tow truck to the nearest authorised panel workshop. Failing to send your vehicle to an approved workshop might prevent you from claiming any damages from the accident.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n6) Insurance Claims\n\n\nThe insurance company will send a loss adjuster to assess the damage of your vehicle and find out who\u2019s responsible. A conclusion will be made and the insurance company will be informed on how much you\u2019d be able to claim from the accident. This will result in either a claim from your insurance or the other party\u2019s insurance company.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n7) The No-Claims Bonus\n\n\nShould you claim from your own insurance company, your claim must exceed the excess clause. The insurance company will then pay the difference. But note that once you claim, you will lose your no-claims bonus or NCB. The NCB is the number of years which you have not made claims on your car insurance policy.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n8) A Choice To Engage With A Lawyer\n\n\nIf you are comfortable engaging with a lawyer, note that you have a right to choose your own. He or she will be able to help you along the way in filling the claim and to advise you on various matters. You will be required to sign a warrant to act, a document that officially appoints he or she as an authorised person to act on your behalf.\n\n\n\n\nHave you had an experience with a car accident?

Like a car for example \u2013 the car would be washed every week, the exhaust tips would be scrubbed and the air con vents even, would be wiped on a daily basis.\n\n\nNo harm with that kind of attention to detail, but how consistent are we with such practices? How many repair receipts or service records do we actually bother to tuck away into a folder? That being said, we also realise how having a new car sparks our inner creativity to decorate it with chrome bits, stickers and body kits.\n\n\nBut most of us do not realise that in time, all these would come back to haunt us \u2013 whether it\u2019s in the form of lower resale value, or unnecessary expenses just to uphold the car\u2019s value. Which begs the question, how soon is too soon to start worrying about the resale value of your car? And what do we often neglect that affects what we\u2019ll get from the car years from now?\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nMechanical Negligence\n\n\n\n\nThis is what happens when you don\u2019t change the engine oil for a very, very, very long long time. \nCredit: Jalopnik\n\n\nWhen it comes to mechanical negligence, the neglect of a minor fault can result into a domino effect of endless repairing nightmares. Repairs should be taken care of when the faults are at an earlier stage as a vehicle relies on different components to work together for a safe and reliable drive.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat it will look like if you rajin service keta; ideally every 5,000 to 7,000km. \nCredit:www.import-car.com\n\n\nRegular oil changes, especially for the engine and transmission are vital to maintain the efficiency and durability of the components within. While there may be salvaged or new parts available to replace them, often times, it puts off buyers knowing that major components have been replaced \u2013 and these could be easily verified.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nLack of Maintenance Records\n\n\n\n\nSpeaking of services and regular maintenance practices, the receipts and records of it are just as important as the maintenance itself. While most potential buyers are concerned with only checking the physical condition of the car, it\u2019s a value added gesture that most buyers appreciate.\n\n\nThis small effort goes a long way into giving the impression that you\u2019ve been meticulous with the maintenance of your car. Whether if it\u2019s just for a service or for a major repair, having these records kept intact allows the potential buyer to have a clear idea of what the car has been through in its lifetime.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nOver Modifying\n\n\n\n\nCondition\n: Used \nMileage\n: Who knows really\u00a0\nColour\n: Mostly Red\u00a0\nOther Features\n: Antenna-like exhaust, straight out of front hood. \nCredit: www.bosozokustyle.com\n\n\nAs our recent article discussed, modifying a car is an act of slowly killing a car and its resale value \u2013 it generally isn\u2019t a good idea as those who appreciate upgrades or modifications are few and far between. That being said, overdoing it, is an even bigger NO-NO.\n\n\nWhether if it\u2019s just stickers or wraps, an engine swap, or a simple rim change, all these come into play in the sale of the vehicle. One way or the other, it would cost you money, either by having to accept a lower valuation for your car or having to spend, perhaps, even more money than you did performing these upgrades or modifications, to remove or revert them back to its stock condition.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nScratches, Dents, Wear and Tear\n\n\n\n\nWhile you\u2019ll still be able to drive with such dents but if unattended to could be prone to rust.\u00a0\nCredit: akmautogarage.com\n\n\nWe assume most people wouldn\u2019t dispute this but the obsessiveness to keep a car scratch and dent-free often fizzles out after a couple of years \u2013 unless of course, you share a certain tight knit bond with your vehicle that no hurricane can pull apart. But they matter; whether you\u2019re trying to sell it privately or through a dealer, these details will be closely scrutinised by potential buyers like a surgeon would in an operating table.\n\n\nWith every scratch and dent, it gives buyers even more reason to reduce the price by hundreds if not thousands. This applies to the interior too; while a mere chocolate shake spill or a cigarette burn on the seat fabric might seem trivial enough for you to have a laugh over, that joy will turn to frowns when you realise how much these odours, scratch and damages mean to prospective buyers who\u2019d pick on these flaws to bring the price down.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nLooking to \nsell your car\n?

We all know what happens when someone is in bad health. Neglecting your car in the long run will set yourself up for unnecessary expenses in future. In this article, we address the Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts of common things that we sometimes wouldn\u2019t think of; that could be harmful to your car. When it comes to selling that vehicle in the future, you\u2019d also be able to negotiate on a higher price.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nHow Can Heat Damage Your Car?\n\n\n\n\nIt is recorded that the air temperature inside of your vehicle can reach 62 celcius and more while the interior surfaces exposed to direct sunlight at over 90 celcius. With the constant sun all year round, extreme heat exposure and UV rays can affect your car\u2019s overall appearance both outside and in. When a car is exposed to hours of scorching heat, the paint can fade and crack. The occasional wax can also protect the car\u2019s finish, but is it always best to keep the surface clean. To avoid cracks or tears on the inside, keep the seats clean or install seat covers that protect leather and fabric seats. How can you solve this? Parking under the shade, installing a good window tint or even sun shades will help.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCredit: \nMeguiar\u2019s Online\n\n\nRemember that first impressions always matter. Hence why the paint work, exterior or interior condition of your vehicle plays a part in every car valuation.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nFully Synthetic vs Semi-Synthetic Engine Oil\n\n\n\n\nWhat type of oil do we choose to use? This depends largely on vehicle type, budget and the oil itself. To start, there are mineral, synthetic and semi-synthetic oils. While the latter two are more commonly used, mineral oils are also blended into semi-synthetic oils and are more economical between the two. Fully synthetic oils however, have been chemically engineered to be more stable at optimum temperatures and are able to gain a higher mileage compared to mineral oils.\n\n\nAlso, if you own an European car, the synthetic oil you choose has to meet the specifications of European vehicles. Do not settle for inexpensive motor oils, as it could damage the car as the right fluids are needed to keep your car running well.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDriving with Under-inflated Tyres\n\n\nCredit: \nModern Tire Dealer\n\n\nMany will say that driving with under-inflated tyres will only cost them the price of the tyres. But truth be told, it is more than cost, as long term damage and personal safety also comes into play. When your tyres are low on air, it places pressure on the corner of the chassis and suspension which over time can wreck components in your vehicle. This also puts stress on parts such as rotors, calipers, wheels and brake lines.\n\n\nAlso when it comes to personal safety, driving with under-inflated tyres poses a threat to loss of handling. You wouldn\u2019t get the same grip as with properly inflated tyres. Remember that a top up of air at the petrol station is always free.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nRoutine inspection of your tyres for signs of damage is important for safety. If you are unsure of the recommended level of inflation pressure for your tyres, it can be found on the vehicle placard or in your vehicle\u2019s owner manual. Maintaining proper inflation pressure will help ensure your tyres last longer and stay durable. Having proper inflation pressure will give you the best tyre performance, safety and fuel economy too.\n\n\nOn a separate note, it has been confirmed that driving with tyres that are 15 per cent underinflated affects fuel economy by 1.2 per cent.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDriving Over Many Potholes and Damaged Roads\n\n\n\n\nThis is one we are all too familiar with. There are potholes in corners, straight roads, and even in a speed bump itself. But how can it damage your vehicle?\n\n\nWhile a pothole may seem harmless, it can damage your tyres and rims, causing the latter to bend or crack. In some cases damage to the casing and sidewall can lead to flats. Long term pothole damage can impact the suspension and set the vehicle\u2019s wheel alignment out and cause steering pull. In a worse case scenario, the suspension can separate from the vehicle and even further affect the vehicle subframe.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeware of the next time you drive over speed bumps or potholes, to reduce your speed to protect the suspension and subframe. Unintentional damage to shock absorbers will affect your brakes, handling, steering, handling and ride comfort as well. What you can do is to remember the location of various potholes or report them to the relevant municipalities.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nUsing Special Additives for Cleaner Engine and Better Performance\n\n\nSome common fuel additives available in the market. Credit: \nGCL Diesel\n\n\nAlthough it is important to take care of your car and follow the manufacturer\u2019s recommendations on maintenance, it is wise to research more on cleaning related fuel additives before you use them. Firstly, there are few types of cleaning related fuel additives including fuel injector cleaners, fuel system cleaners and even petrol mileage additives.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nShould you believe these additives? Well it depends on popularity and the product. Fuel system and injection cleaners claim to remove carbon buildup in the fuel system as well as injectors. While we believe this works, quite a few fuel companies already have such a formulation mixed into most petrol types today.\n\n\nBut it is always important to remember that you wouldn\u2019t want to void your manufacturer\u2019s warranty due to unwanted damage done to your vehicle through these external products. Remember that it is better to be cautious about the products you use, especially it comes to additional mileage or significant performance.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nYour car is an investment. Staying on top of your car maintenance will ensure you get the most out of it, especially when it is time to sell. If you neglect regular maintenance, the chances of things going awry are high. You might even pay more in repair costs in the long term when you do not maintain your vehicle. It takes time and effort to take care of your car, and it is not easy. But we assure you that with regular external and internal upkeep, you will definitely be able to prolong your vehicle\u2019s lifespan and attain a better resale value when you sell.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAre you in an urgent need to sell your car?

Ia memerlukan pertimbangan, pengetahuan dan penilaian yang sewajarnya bagi memastikan kereta terpakai yang dibeli menepati kualiti dan spesifikasi yang diidamkan. Sebelum membeli kereta terpakai, bakal pembeli digalakkan untuk melakukan pandu uji kereta bagi mengetahui tahap prestasi dan kualiti kereta yang ingin dibeli sekali gus memastikan pembeli melakukan pilihan tepat, betul dan sesuai.\n\n\n\n\nMeskipun begitu, ia tidak bermaksud proses \npembelian kereta terpakai\n \ntidak sempurna atau tidak boleh dilakukan tanpa melakukan pandu uji kereta.\u00a0Dengan maklumat yang tepat, betul dan sesuai, proses pembelian kereta boleh berjalan dengan lancar tanpa perlu pandu uji kereta yang ingin dibeli. Dalam erti kata lain, proses pembelian kereta terpakai tidak mustahil dan boleh dilakukan tanpa pandu uji asalkan anda mempunyai maklumat-maklumat tambahan yang mencukupi seperti laporan pemeriksaan, rekod penyelenggaraan dan lain-lain.\n\n\nPerkara Penting yang Perlu Dipertimbangkan Sebelum Membeli Kereta Terpakai\n\n\nSecara amnya, keputusan untuk membeli kereta terpakai atau \nkereta \nsecond hand\n boleh membantu \nmenjimatkan belanja\n dan menguruskan kewangan anda\n dengan lebih baik. Ini kerana, kereta terpakai biasanya ditawarkan pada harga yang jauh lebih murah berbanding model kereta baharu di pasaran. Namun begitu, ia tidak bermaksud anda boleh mengabaikan aspek-aspek lain. Carsome menyenaraikan perkara yang perlu dipertimbangkan sebelum membeli kereta terpakai untuk rujukan dan panduan anda:\n\n\ni. Sejarah Perbatuan\n\n\nSemakin rendah nilai perbatuan, semakin tinggi nilai jualan kereta. Oleh itu, pastikan anda memilih kereta terpakai dengan nilai perbatuan yang rendah atau sederhana sebelum membelinya. Sejarah perbatuan yang tinggi juga menandakan banyak komponen dalaman kereta yang perlu digantikan atau ditukar sekali gus meningkatkan kos penyelenggaraan yang perlu dilakukan.\n\n\nii. Struktur Luaran\n\n\nStruktur luaran kereta turut mempengaruhi keputusan dan pertimbangan pengguna. Kenal pasti sama ada terdapat kerosakan yang ketara pada bahagian struktur atau komponen utama lain yang boleh menjejaskan prestasi dan kualiti kereta.\n\n\niii. Warna Cat, Karat, Calar atau Kemik\n\n\nSebelum membeli kereta terpakai, periksa semua bahagian kereta dengan teliti. Periksa dan perhatikan sama ada terdapat perbezaan pada warna cat atau terdapat mana-mana bahagian yang berkarat calar atau kemik. Jika anda mengesan sebarang perbezaan warna atau mendapati ada bahagian kereta yang dicat semula, besar kemungkinan kereta yang ingin dibeli pernah mengalami kemalangan atau faktor-faktor lain yang memerlukan pertimbangan semula anda. Meskipun karat, calar atau kemik pada bahagian luar kereta tidak mempengaruhi prestasi enjin, ia boleh mempengaruhi kos pembaikan dan penyelenggaraan yang perlu ditanggung.\n\n\niv. Bahagian Enjin\n\n\nPeriksa bahagian enjin untuk mengetahui sama ada terdapat sebarang kebocoran atau bunyi-bunyi pelik yang dihasilkan semasa enjin kereta dihidupkan. Jika ada bunyi pelik dihasilkan atau terdapat tanda-tanda kebocoran pada gasket misalnya, ia boleh meningkatkan kos yang perlu ditanggung oleh anda untuk membaikinya.\n\n\nv. Tayar\n\n\nPerhatikan permukaan tayar sama ada terdapat sebarang tanda-tanda kehausan tayar yang tidak sekata. Kehausan tayar yang tidak sekata secara tidak langsung menunjukkan kereta yang ingin dibeli mempunyai \nmasalah \nalignment\n dan \nbalancing\n yang teruk\n. Kebiasaannya, masalah \nalignment\n kereta yang teruk berlaku disebabkan oleh masalah suspensi kereta yang usang atau kerosakan pada bahagian kerangka kereta. Selain mempengaruhi prestasi kenderaan, ia juga turut membahayakan pemandu jika tidak dibaiki dengan segera.\n\n\nvi. Sistem Audio & Bahagian Dalaman\n\n\nBahagian dalaman kereta juga merupakan salah satu aspek penting yang perlu dipertimbangkan sebelum membeli kereta terpakai. Lakukan pemeriksaan menyeluruh dan pastikan bahagian dalaman kereta seperti radio, pemain CD atau mana-mana komponen elektrik lain berfungsi dengan baik. Jika rosak, ia mungkin memerlukan belanja tambahan yang boleh menjejaskan kewangan anda.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKenal pasti sama ada terdapat kerosakan pada bahagian\n upholstery\n kereta. Jika ada, ia mungkin menandakan aspek penjagaan yang tidak baik oleh pemilik sebelumnya.\n\n\nPeriksa sistem dalaman kereta untuk memastikannya berfungsi dengan baik \u2013 pemain CD, signal kereta, wiper, penyaman udara, radio dan lain-lain.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nvii. Laporan Pemeriksaan\n\n\nLaporan pemeriksaan dan sejarah servis kereta membolehkan anda mengetahui sama ada kereta yang ingin dibeli pernah mengalami kemalangan serius atau pernah ditenggelami banjir. Jika kereta yang ingin dibeli mempunyai sejarah sedemikian, ia perlu dielakkan. Ini kerana, \nkereta yang pernah mengalami kemalangan\n \natau \nkereta yang pernah ditenggelami banjir\n mempunyai kualiti dan prestasi yang diragui lebih-lebih lagi jika ia tidak diselenggara dengan baik.\n\n\n\n\nCara Baharu Beli Kereta Terpakai dengan Janji Temu Maya\n\n\nSelari dengan amalan norma baharu, hampir keseluruhan sektor perkhidmatan awam dan swasta hari ini telah beralih kepada pengoperasian dan perkhidmatan secara dalam talian. Kebanyakan urusan jual beli atau transaksi kini dilakukan secara \nonline\n untuk mengurangkan dan mengelakkan perjumpaan secara fizikal dan bersemuka. Bertitik tolak daripada itu, Carsome juga turut tidak ketinggalan dalam usaha mendigitalkan perkhidmatan dengan memperkenalkan cara baharu jual beli kereta terpakai.\n\n\nPelaksanaan Janji Temu Maya atau \nVirtual Appointment \nbukanlah suatu idea yang asing.

Malah, berdasarkan tinjauan yang dilakukan di United Kingdom dan Australia, sebanyak 25 peratus responden bersetuju dan selesa dengan kaedah \npembelian kereta secara \nonline\n tanpa melihat atau memeriksa secara fizikal di pusat jualan.\n\n\nTips Pembelian Kereta Terpakai Melalui Janji Temu Maya\n\n\nKaedah \npembelian kereta terpakai\n \nsecara maya ini tidak bermaksud anda perlu terburu-buru dalam membuat keputusan. Carsome menyenaraikan tips berikut untuk membantu anda membuat keputusan sewajarnya sebelum membeli kereta terpakai tanpa pandu uji.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPastikan sambungan internet anda berada dalam keadaan baik \nsebelum melakukan panggilan.

As customary, there\u2019s a strong focus on a design that\u2019s bold, sporty and with emotionally rich lines and frameless side doors. The all-new 2 Series Gran Coupe combines all these with practicality, interior space and large load compartment.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDesign\n\n\n \n\n\nThe kidney grille\u2019s bars are contoured to provide a three-dimensional effect when specified in satinated Aluminium. As for the flagship M235i xDrive, the grille takes on a three-dimensional mesh design inspired by racing cars.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe head and taillights are full-LED as standard and provide an all-new take on the BMW \u201cL\u201d shape with a single slim light element and a distinctive sweep to the side. The roofline has a graceful flow, with a long window graphic to visually reduce the weight of the rear end.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nPower\n\n\n\n\nThe improvement of space and lighter weight is thanks to the BMW front-wheel-drive architecture that the 2 Series Gran Coupe shares with the new BMW 1 Series. There will be three engines available from launch \u2013 one diesel and two petrol from the latest-generation EfficientDynamics family. Here the entry-level engine is a three-cylinder unit in the BMW 218i with 140 hp while the two-litre four-cylinder diesel powering the 220d generates 190 hp.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAt the top of this is the M235i xDrive with 306 hp that takes just 4.9 seconds for a century sprint. Transmissions are either a six-speed manual or seven-speed Steptronic dual clutch on the 218i, eight-speed Steptronic on the 220d and eight-speed Steptronic Sport in the M235i xDrive.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nInterior\n\n\n\n\nThe rear passengers have significantly easier entry from the increase of 33 mm of extra kneeroom over the 2 Series Coupe with a 12 mm higher seating position. The boot has 430 litres of space and can be expanded further with the 40-20-40 split folding rear seat backrests.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt the front driver\u2019s position, the controls are in line with the latest generation design. The infotainment runs on BMW\u2019s latest OS 7.0 with optional gesture control. Operation also includes the iDrive controller and touchpad or touchscreen. There\u2019s also an optional full-colour 9.2-inch Head-up display that supplies the driver with information without diverting the eyes off the road.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDriving Agility\n\n\n\n\nThe transfer of technology from the BMW i and core brand has allowed the 2 Series Gran Coupe to have precise response and an elevated driving experience. The near-actuator wheel slip limitation (ARB) tech familiar from the BMW i3s improves traction when pulling away, cornering or accelerating on dry and wet roads, in mixed snowy or icy conditions and allows wheel slip to be controlled much more precisely and swiftly than before.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe slip controller is positioned in the ECU as opposed to the DSC control unit, and improves relayed information three times quicker, with driver perception of wheel slip brought under control up to 10 times faster. The near-actuator wheel slip limitation works in tandem with the DSC system to significantly reduce power understeer (which is typical of front wheel drive cars) without the need for corrective inputs to stabilise lateral dynamics.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBMW Performance Control\n\n\n\n\nThis is included as standard on the 2 Series Gran Coupe. This feature increases handling agility by intelligently applying the brakes at the wheels on the inside of the bend before the slip threshold has been reached. This suppresses any initial understeer and ensures neutral steering behaviour.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nOn the M235i xDrive, whose standard specification includes not only the all-wheel-drive system but also a newly developed mechanical Torsen limited-slip differential, which gives the car an even sportier edge by creating a locking effect between the front wheels.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nFeatures and Assistant Systems\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParking Assistant with reversing assistant is available as an option on the 2 Series Gran Coupe. Standard equipment in Europe includes collision and pedestrian warning with city braking function, which also alerts the driver to the presence of cyclists. Lane Departure Warning system with active lane return, Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function, and Lane Change Warning system with rear collision and crossing traffic warning.\n\n\nTo wrap the feature list, the Digital Key with smartphone NFC is also optional.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nTL;DR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe locally-assembled BMW 330i M Sport is now available. \nClick here\n for more information.\n\n\nDoes the 2 Series Gran Coupe look like a baby 8 Series? \nClick here\n to find out more!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car to Carsome today!

The options included to the vehicle shown features the individual seat configuration with rear theatre displays, \u2018Box-grain\u2019 leather trim, Rolls-Royce Bespoke audio, as well as an exterior and polished stainless steel package amongst others.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Underneath the hood, the Cullinan is powered by a 6.75-litre twin turbo V12 that outputs 563 hp and 850 Nm at 1,600 rpm. Despite the SUV\u2019s unladen weight at just under 2.7 tons, the century sprint can be achieved in just 5.1-seconds.\n\n\n\n\n    What makes Rolls-Royce and the Cullinan special? Read on to find out.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nIt Is All In The Name\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The Cullinan is named after the largest diamond ever discovered in South Africa, in 1905. The diamond weighed 3,106.75 carats and was cut into over 100 stones of assorted cuts. However, the two largest pieces of the Cullinan are now part of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom \u2013 a 530.4 carat diamond on the Sovereign\u2019s Sceptre with Cross and another 317.4 carat on the Imperial State Crown.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nIt Is The Brand\u2019s First All-Wheel Drive Vehicle\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    It is quite common to think that since Rolls-Royce is under the BMW Group, the Cullinan shares the same platform as BMW\u2019s upcoming X7 SUV. However, it doesn\u2019t. The Cullinan is based on the same aluminium spaceframe architecture as the brand\u2019s Phantom VII limousine and is designed in-house, with 30 per cent increased rigidity than its elder sibling.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    From the get-go, Rolls-Royce wanted the Cullinan to go anywhere the customer wanted to go. So the brand\u2019s first all-wheel drive moves away from its traditional rear-wheel nature. Underneath the new double-wishbone front axle and five-link rear axle provide control over lateral roll just as the four-wheel steering does. Water wading depth is 540 mm.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nIt Sees Further and Knows Where You\u2019re Going\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The Cullinan\u2019s headlights are a laser-light system that shines over 600 metres ahead. Of course there\u2019s a host of driver assistance systems like cameras for night vision and vision assist. Talking about the camera system, it looks forward to the road ahead and adjusts the suspension proactively. This works together with the 8-speed automatic transmission that is satellite aided, which sets up the ride based on where you\u2019re going.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nPure Luxury Personified\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The unit showcased by Rolls-Royce Kuala Lumpur features the Individual Seat configuration, which are two separate seats at the rear, as opposed to the five-seat option. Here there\u2019s a chiller for your bubbly, glasses to match, and up to the customers\u2019 imagination to include. If a piece looks like aluminium or wood, it certainly is. Leather here is \u201cbox grain\u201d on the dashboard and doors, while the seats are upholstered with high-end Bavarian leather. It also includes a glass separating the cabin and the trunk area, ensuring that the passengers get their personal space in comfort.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nDevelopment and Attention To Detail\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The Rolls-Royce umbrella is widely publicised to be located within the door or fender of every model for easy access. But unknown to most, the umbrella has been engineered to be weighted perfectly, easy to open and close with a slide, has enough struts in the construction to withstand high wind and force, is Teflon and antibacterial coated to prevent mould growing, as well as drainage and ventilation to ensure the umbrella stays dry within its housing.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Also for those with a keen eye, the Cullinan has a single stainless steel trim that begins from the front of the A-pillar above the doors and continues all the way till the D-pillar around the fixed window panel.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nWant to know how many cars Rolls-Royce sold last year? \nClick here\n!\n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nSell your car for that dream ride!

Dealing with endless \u201cpotential buyers\u201d in random locations, transactions and transfer procedures, standing in long queues are grievances that have been associated with the selling of a car.\n\n\nThat said, we can understand why most car owners would opt to take this up on their own; the motivation of being able to secure a higher price for your vehicle may seem like it\u2019s worth the effort, especially with advertisements being free of charge in online marketplaces or car-listing websites.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCredit: petesisco.com\n\n\nWhat if there was a safer, faster, more convenient way of selling your car? What if you could get the best possible quote for your vehicle, have it inspected, sold and transacted all under one roof?\n\n\nThe following are the three main issues we feel, can be eradicated by selling your car, the Carsome way.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nTime-Wasters \n\n\n\n\nThe Conventional Method\n\n\nPossibly the most common occurrence car owners can relate to when selling their cars privately, whether online or through recommendations. In fact, anyone who has ever had a hand in e-commerce, whether it\u2019s selling your dad\u2019s vintage collections or homemade soap would know that it\u2019s very common for potential buyers to go missing in action after countless texts exchanges questioning on the validity and particulars of the item on sale.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWorse, your advertisement could be sitting online for weeks, sometimes months with no solid offers and suitors; costing you time and money by maintaining a car you no longer want to own. Let\u2019s not even forget about the risk of meeting strangers, in random locations and providing with test drives not knowing what the outcome would be.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Carsome Way\n\n\n\n\nWell it shouldn\u2019t be that agonising. At Carsome, we\u2019d happily assumed theses hassles for you; there will be no endless calls and texting involved and we most definitely would not go M.I.A on you. Simply fill in the request form on our website at Carsome.my to get a quote on the value of your car.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThereon, upon accepting the offer, an appointment would be set for your vehicle to be inspected by one of our many experienced inspectors in the comforts of our own showroom before proceeding with financial transactions and ownership formalities in the safety of our own premises.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHaggling & Negotiations\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Conventional Method\n\n\n\n\nWhether you\u2019re meeting endless potential buyers in person or visiting multiple dealerships to acquire the best possible offer for your car, either ways, there\u2019s no avoiding the inevitable \u2013 haggling for the best possible price for your car.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCredit: freemalaysiatoday.com\n\n\nDuring such a process, it is not unusual that car owners are prone to exploitation; either by their urgency to sell or the lack of demand for their vehicle. As such, prices would be driven down unreasonably, prompting you to visit other dealerships for a \u201csecond opinion\u201d which again costs time and money because not being sure if you\u2019re offered a fair price for your car is a tough pill to swallow.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Carsome Way\n\n\n\n\nInstead of having to unwillingly accept the offers that do not justify your vehicle\u2019s condition, we have a proprietary bidding system for our pool of more than 450 certified dealers. Upon opting for the online auction, car owners would be able to witness dealers participating in a 3-hour bidding process for your car where you\u2019d be able to view the bidding LIVE in our effort to promote transparency.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nTransactions & Procedures\n\n\nThe Conventional Method\n\n\nAs most of us have come to realise, the process of selling your car doesn\u2019t end upon agreeing on a price. In fact, the hassle only begins then; with endless procedures and formalities to go through in the ownership transfer process which can sometimes take up to weeks to conclude.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCredit: melodica.com.my\n\n\nComplications can arise anywhere form the point of waiting for your buyer to arrange a loan and for the bank to approve it, to setting up appointments for Puspakom inspections and possibly even dealing with Puspakom\u2019s rejection over mechanical or cosmetic issues of the car.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCredit: cbt.com.my\n\n\nEven if those were to go smoothly, subsequently queueing for hours on end, at the expense of your precious leaves, at the JPJ for a simple ownership transfer can be a frustrating ordeal.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Carsome Way\n\n\n\n\nAll these inconveniences can all be handled and taken care of by the efficient administrators at Carsome in just 24 hours! Upon accepting the highest bid from the previously mentioned online auction, all the financial transactions and ownership transfers would take place in our premises where owners of the vehicle would be paid in full immediately in a fast, fair and free and even safe car-selling experience.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nHave you ever wondered \nwhat the difference is between AGREED VALUE and MARKET VALUE\n when it comes to Car Insurance?\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nStop the hassle and haggling when \nselling your car\n!

The process of selling a car isn\u2019t as easy as posting it on several classified websites and hoping someone would come along and relieve you of the vehicles ownership and enlighten you with a stack of cash.\n\n\n\n\n    No, in fact, the moment a price is agreed on and a deal is struck, this is when the nightmare actually begins. Now you\u2019d have a series of hurdles to endure, mainly with car inspection bureau Puspakom, Bank Loans and the Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ).

Unless you have an agency to do it for you, it\u2019s a time-consuming process. Apart from picking the next available time slot for inspection, which can sometimes take days, you\u2019d also have to queue up at the centre for your car to be inspected.\n\n\n\n\n    Good fortunes will have you in an out of the place in less than an hour, but should your vehicle not pass the required tests due to technical issues, you\u2019d have to get the problem fixed and reschedule for another visit within 30 days.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nBank Loans\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Unless someone with a deep pocket comes along to acquire your vehicle by way of cash, your suitors would most likely have to opt for a loan. Usually this takes anywhere from 2-3 days to a week for an approval but prospects of acquiring one is more difficult, especially if your potential buyer is on a PTPTN loan. And even worse if he or she has been defaulting on it.\n\n\n\n\n    With banks putting on the brakes on loans, especially for the younger generation, the queue of suitors for your car may not necessarily translate to an actual buyer. As such, more time will be wasted waiting on others to come by, and for a repeat of the entire application process again.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nJPJ\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: Patrick T at Foursquare\n\n\n\n\n\n    Pretty much the last big hurdle to overcome when selling your car.

You\u2019d still need to take a day off, spend time getting to the said department, queue and wait eagerly for your turn to proceed with the ownership transfer.

Di Malaysia, kebanyakan kereta yang menggunakan \ntiming chain\n terdiri daripada kereta keluaran \nToyota\n, \nNissan\n dan \nPerodua\n. Manakala, kereta keluaran \nProton\n, \nHonda\n \ndan model kereta keluaran Korea seperti \nHyundai\n kebanyakannya menggunakan\n timing belt\n. \nTiming chain\n (rantai pemasaan) atau \ntiming belt\n (tali sawat pemasaan) merupakan salah satu komponen penting dalam kenderaan. Kedua-dua komponen ini terletak di bahagian enjin kereta dan berfungsi menggerakkan komponen-komponen lain dalam enjin seperti \ncamshaft\n dan \ncrankshaft\n.\n\n\n\n\nSecara amnya, fungsi \ncamshaft\n dalam sistem enjin kenderaan mengawal buka tutup injap yang mengeluarkan asap dan membenarkan udara masuk mengikut putaran \ncrankshaft \u2013 \npengoperasian tali sawat kereta dan\n camshaft\n sama seperti rantai dan \nsprocket\n pada motosikal berfungsi. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk memastikan komponen ini sentiasa berada dalam keadaan baik untuk mengelakkan risiko kerosakan lain yang mungkin boleh menyebabkan kos pembaikan dan penggantian yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\nFungsi \nTiming Chain, \nFungsi \nTiming Belt\n Kereta\n\n\nSecara asasnya, kedua-dua tali sawat kereta ini\u00a0menjalankan fungsi yang sama dalam sistem pengoperasian kenderaan. \nTiming chain\n atau\n timing belt\n digunakan untuk menyeragamkan pergerakan \ncamshaft\n yang menggerakkan injap enjin, \ncrankshaft\n (rod yang menggerakkan silinder), piston dan injap dalam enjin. Kedua-dua komponen ini hanya dibezakan dengan jenis \nmaterial\n yang digunakan \n\u2013 timing chain\n menggunakan rantai besi manakala \ntiming belt\n menggunakan getah.\n\n\nTali Sawat Kereta: Beza \nTiming Belt\n dan \nTiming Chain\n\n\nMeskipun kedua-duanya mempunyai fungsi yang sama, ramai dalam kalangan pemilik kenderaan berpendapat penggunaan\n timing chain\n adalah lebih baik kereta tidak memerlukan penggantian yang kerap dalam tempoh masa yang lama. Namun begitu, ada juga yang berpendapat penggunaan \ntiming belt\n lebih menjimatkan disebabkan kos penggantian yang lebih murah. Apa pendapat anda? Carsome menyenaraikan lima (5) beza \ntiming belt\n dan \ntiming chain\n untuk anda nilai sendiri tali sawat kereta yang sesuai dengan bajet dan keperluan anda.\n\n\n1. Jangka Hayat\n\n\nJangka hayat \ntiming chain\n dikatakan lebih lama berbanding jangka hayat\n timing belt\n. Ini kerana, \ntiming chain\n tidak perlu ditukar selagi ia tidak mengeluarkan sebarang tanda\n timing chain\n kereta rosak \u2013\u00a0bunyi nyaring merupakan salah satu\u00a0bunyi \ntiming chain\n kereta rosak. Selain itu, jangka hayat timing\n chain\n juga dikatakan boleh bertahan sehingga sekurang-kurangnya 400,000 km atau lebih. Namun begitu, ia bergantung pada tabiat penggunaan, penjagaan dan penyelenggaraan pemilik kenderaan.\n\n\nUntuk \ntiming belt\n pula, ia perlu digantikan setiap 90,000 km hingga 100,000 km untuk memastikannya berfungsi secara optimum \u2013 namun begitu ia bergantung pada jenis, model kereta. \nTiming belt\n Proton Wira, \nProton Saga\n perlu digantikan setiap 60,000 km. Manakala, jangka hayat \ntiming belt\n Proton Waja pula boleh bertahan dan perlu digantikan setiap 90,000 km. \nTiming belt\n \nHonda CRV\n dikatakan boleh bertahan sehingga 160,000 km \u2013 tertakluk pada penggunaan dan penjagaan.\n\n\n2. Bunyi\n Timing Chain, Timing Belt\n\n\nOperasi \ntiming belt \njuga dikatakan lebih senyap berbanding \ntiming chain\n. Ini kerana, \ntiming belt \ndilapis dengan selaput getah atau polimer yang berfungsi menyerap gegaran dengan lebih baik. Ia sekali gus menjadikannya pilihan yang sangat popular dalam kalangan pengeluar kereta kerana lebih senyap dan lebih murah untuk dihasilkan. Meskipun begitu, penambahbaikan dalam rekaan\n timing chain\n moden hari ini turut menjadikan \ntiming chain\n pilihan utama pengeluar kereta.\n\n\nRekaan \ntiming chain\n moden dikatakan lebih lasak. Ia sekali gus menghasilkan kadar geseran dan gegaran yang lebih rendah dan lebih senyap berbanding rekaan sebelum ini. Rekaan ruang enjin dengan teknologi terbaharu juga sedikit sebanyak membantu mengurangkan masalah bunyi dalam kebanyakan model kereta moden yang menggunakan \ntiming chain.\n\n\n3. Penjagaan dan Prestasi\n\n\nSecara amnya, \ntiming belt\n diperbuat daripada getah dan tidak memerlukan sebarang minyak pelincir untuk meningkatkan prestasinya kerana sistem operasi \ntiming belt\n dikatakan lebih kompak dan ringkas. Meskipun begitu, \ntiming belt\n dilengkapi dengan \u201cgigi\u201d yang mencengkam gear semasa beroperasi \u2013 sekiranya \u201cgigi\u201d ini tertanggal atau haus, ia akan tergelincir daripada gear sekali gus menjejaskan prestasinya. \nTiming belt\n yang tergelincir daripada gear boleh menyebabkan enjin kehilangan kuasa dan operasi enjin menjadi lebih kasar berbanding situasi biasa.\n\n\nNamun begitu, berbeza dengan \ntiming chain\n yang mengaplikasikan konsep yang sama seperti rantai basikal, ia memerlukan \nminyak hitam\n semasa beroperasi untuk memastikan geseran dan gegaran dapat dikurangkan. Oleh sebab itu, aspek penjagaan minyak hitam amatlah penting sekiranya kenderaan anda menggunakan \ntiming chain\n. Minyak hitam yang diselenggara dan ditukar mengikut jadual boleh memanjangkan jangka hayat \ntiming chain\n. Selain itu, antara faktor lain yang menyebabkan \ntiming chain\n kereta rosak atau haus dengan lebih cepat adalah disebabkan:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKelikatan minyak yang tidak mengikut spesifikasi yang ditetapkan;\n\n\nPenggunaan minyak enjin berkualiti rendah.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nApa Berlaku Jika Minyak Hitam Tidak Ditukar? 5 Tanda Tukar Minyak Hitam Kereta Yang Anda Perlu Tahu\n\n\n4. Harga Tukar\n Timing Belt\n, \nTiming Chain\n\n\nHarga tukar \ntiming belt\n dikatakan lebih murah berbanding kos tukar \ntiming chain. \nIni kerana, \nmaterial\n getah atau campuran polimer dijual pada harga yang lebih murah dalam pasaran berbanding rantai besi. Meskipun begitu, jika mengambil kira aspek ketahanan, jangka hayat, nilai wang dan sebagainya, kos tukar \ntiming chain\n dikatakan lebih berbaloi kerana tidak memerlukan penggantian yang lebih kerap dengan syarat minyak hitam diselenggara mengikut jadual dan berada pada tahap yang sesuai.\n\n\nHarga tali sawat kereta bergantung sepenuhnya pada jenis, model kereta. Malah, tahap kekompleksan sistem kereta atau \ncar complexity\n juga turut memainkan peranan. Semakin kompleks proses penggantian tali sawat kereta, semakin tinggi caj yang akan dikenakan. Sebagai contoh, kos tukar \ntiming belt\n kereta SUV lebih mahal berbanding \ntiming belt\n kereta ekonomi. Secara purata, kos untuk menggantikan tali sawat kereta adalah sekitar RM200 hingga RM400 \u2013 kos tukar \ntiming belt\n Proton Persona misalnya, sekitar RM310 dalam pasaran termasuk kos upah.\n\n\n5. Penyelenggaraan\n\n\nSecara asasnya, \ntiming belt\n boleh dikategorikan sebagai komponen kenderaan pakai buang \u2013 ia perlu digantikan dari semasa ke semasa bergantung pada penggunaan. \nTiming belt\n mempunyai jangka hayat yang tersendiri dan memerlukan \npenyelenggaraan atau servis\n secara berkala untuk mengelakkan kerosakan yang lebih serius. Jika\n timing belt\n digunakan melebihi saranan yang disyorkan oleh pengeluar kereta, ia berpotensi untuk putus,\n tooth wear\n atau \nback crack\n.\n Selain itu, \ntiming belt\n putus juga boleh menyebabkan kerosakan bahagian enjin kereta yang lebih serius. \n\n\nBagi \ntiming chain\n pula, penggantian atau penyelenggaraan tidaklah sekerap\n timing belt\n. Malah, penggunaan\n timing chain\n dikatakan lebih menjimatkan kerana jangka hayatnya lebih lama berbanding \ntiming belt\n. Penyelenggaraan\n timing chain\n cukup mudah \u2013 anda hanya perlu menggantikan minyak hitam mengikut jadual bagi memastikan prestasinya berada pada tahap optimum. Penyelenggaraan minyak hitam yang tidak mengikut jadual boleh menyebabkan rantai besi haus dengan lebih cepat selain menjejaskan proses pemasaan enjin.\n\n\nSelain itu, penyelenggaraan secara berkala juga dapat mengelakkan \ntiming belt\n atau \ntiming chain\n putus. \nTiming belt\n putus atau rosak boleh menyebabkan kesan dom\nino yang serius pada komponen enjin yang lain. Malah, ia juga boleh \nmengakibatkan kos penggantian yang lebih tinggi kerana banyak komponen lain dalam enjin berpotensi untuk terjejas, rosak, patah atau retak.\n\n\n\n\nTanda \nTiming Chain\n Rosak, Tanda \nTiming Belt\n Perlu Ditukar\n\n\nTiming chain \nputus atau \ntiming belt\n putus merupakan antara risiko kerosakan komponen tali sawat kereta yang paling dirisaukan. Ini kerana, kos tukar \ntiming chain\n dan harga tukar \ntiming belt\n putus boleh menelan belanja yang agak tinggi kerana banyak aspek lain yang perlu diambil perhatian. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk sentiasa memastikan tali sawat kereta sentiasa berada dalam keadaan baik. Carsome menyenaraikan tanda\n timing chain\n kereta rosak dan tanda-tanda\n timing belt\n perlu ditukar untuk panduan dan rujukan anda.\n\n\nBunyi Enjin Kereta Kasar\n\n\nKebiasaannya, \ntiming belt\n tidak akan memberikan sebarang tanda atau petunjuk sekiranya ia ingin putus. Ia boleh putus dengan sendirinya secara tiba-tiba. Namun dalam sesetengah keadaan, tanda \ntiming belt\n perlu ditukar boleh dikesan melalui bunyi yang dihasilkan \u2013 untuk pastikan bunyi \ntiming belt\n rosak, jiruskan air pada \ntiming belt\n yang sedang beroperasi. Jika bunyi hilang setelah\n timing belt\n basah, ia merupakan tanda \ntiming belt\n kereta rosak dan perlu ditukar.\n\n\nBerbeza dengan \ntiming chain\n, ia akan menghasilkan bunyi tertentu sebagai tanda \ntiming chain\n rosak. \nTiming chain \nrosak akan menghasilkan \nbunyi nyaring daripada bonet kereta\n setelah enjin kereta dihidupkan. Bunyi \ntiming chain\n kereta rosak biasanya lebih jelas kedengaran semasa enjin dipanaskan dan akan hilang selepas beberapa ketika. Meskipun begitu, bunyi ini juga biasanya dikaitkan dengan \ntekanan minyak enjin\n yang rendah. Sekiranya ada bunyi pelik kedengaran, periksa tahap minyak enjin kereta anda terlebih dahulu. Jika ia berada pada tahap normal, besar kemungkinan \ntiming chain\n kereta anda menghadapi masalah.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nKereta Bunyi Berdengung, Bersiul? Masalah Bunyi Kereta Biasa Berlaku yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\nCetusan Enjin Tidak Normal, Meletup-letup\n\n\nSecara amnya, tali sawat kereta yang rosak, haus atau tidak berada dalam keadaan baik boleh menyebabkan operasi buka dan tutup silinder dalam enjin kereta menjadi tidak seragam. Ia secara tidak langsung menyebabkan cetusan enjin berlaku secara tidak normal. Cetusan dalam enjin yang terputus-putus berlaku disebabkan oleh campuran udara dan bahan api yang tidak tercucuh secara selanjar kerana \ntiming belt\n atau \ntiming chain\n kehilangan koordinasi yang diperlukan. Sekiranya anda berdepan situasi sebegini, lakukan pemeriksaan dengan segera untuk mengelakkan kerosakan enjin yang lebih serius.\n\n\nLampu Amaran Tekanan Minyak Enjin Menyala\n\n\nLampu amaran tekanan minyak enjin menyala \nsekiranya sensor enjin kereta anda mengesan sebarang potensi masalah \u2013 \ntiming chain\n atau \ntiming belt\n yang rosak boleh menyebabkan lampu amaran ini menyala. Sistem komputer kereta biasanya akan menyalakan lampu amaran sebagai indikator kepada pemilik kenderaan bahawa terdapat masalah yang perlu diperiksa dalam sistem enjin. Biasanya, lampu amaran ini menyala sekiranya sistem mengesan sesuatu yang tidak kena pada sistem pelepasan dan operasi enjin.\n\n\nJika lampu amaran tekanan minyak enjin kereta anda menyala, segera bawa kereta anda ke bengkel untuk pemeriksaan lanjut. Jika diabaikan, ia boleh menyebabkan kerosakan yang lebih serius pada komponen dalam enjin kereta yang lain. Secara amnya, lampu amaran tekanan minyak enjin atau turut dikenali sebagai lampu aladin akan menyala dalam tempoh satu hingga dua saat setelah enjin kereta dihidupkan sebelum terpadam. Jika ia masih menyala setelah beberapa ketika, ia mungkin menandakan sensor enjin kereta mengesan masalah dalam sistem enjin.\n\n\nSemoga perkongsian mengenai tali sawat kereta ini boleh membantu anda mengenal pasti fungsi \ntiming chain\n, tanda-tanda kerosakan, jangka hayat\n timing chain\n, beza \ntiming belt\n dan \ntiming chain\n serta info-info lain berkaitan komponen penting ini.

Kereta yang ditinggalkan biasanya akan mengalami masalah \nsukar untuk dihidupkan\n, brek tidak mencengkam atau getaran pada stereng disebabkan masalah pada tayar. Carsome berkongsi tips penjagaan kereta yang boleh anda praktikkan untuk mengelakkan perkara sebegini daripada berlaku kepada kereta anda.\n\n\n\n\nTip Penjagaan Kereta Yang Tidak Bergerak\n\n\nBagi anda yang tidak tersenarai dalam perkhidmatan penting atau \nessential services,\n anda disarankan untuk bekerja dari rumah bagi mengekang penularan wabak Covid-19 dan mengurangkan pergerakan di luar rumah. Carsome menyenaraikan 5 tips penjagaan kereta yang perlu diketahui supaya kereta anda kekal berada dalam keadaan baik walaupun jarang digunakan.\n\n\n1. Bersihkan Bahagian Dalaman Kereta\n\n\nPastikan tiada sampah atau sisa makanan ditinggalkan di dalam kereta terutamanya jika anda meninggalkan kereta anda untuk satu tempoh masa lama. Ini kerana, ia boleh mengundang kehadiran serangga perosak seperti lipas dan boleh mengakibatkan bau busuk yang tidak menyenangkan. Bersihkan bahagian dalaman kereta dengan teliti dan sembur bahan pewangi kereta jika perlu.\n\n\nSelain itu, lakukan pembersihan dan disinfeksi kuman secara berkala terutamanya pada bahagian yang sering disentuh seperti stereng, pemegang pintu dan lain-lain menggunakan cecair pembasmi kuman. Pastikan anda baca label produk dan gunakan bahan pencuci yang bersesuaian dengan kereta anda. Anda boleh baca\n tip pembersihan dan pembasmian kuman\n \ndi bahagian kabin kereta untuk maklumat lanjut.\n\n\n2. Hidupkan Enjin Kereta Secara Berkala\n\n\nKereta anda mungkin jarang bergerak atau dibiarkan tersadai sepanjang tempoh Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan, lebih-lebih lagi jika anda mempunyai beberapa buah kereta. Anda disarankan untuk menghidupkan enjin kereta anda sekurang-kurangnya sekali seminggu selama 10 minit. Ia adalah bertujuan untuk mengekalkan cas bateri dan memastikan \naltenator\n dan komponen lain kereta berfungsi dengan baik. Selain itu, anda juga disarankan untuk tidak menghidupkan penyaman udara kereta atau sistem infotainmen kereta semasa pemanasan dilakukan untuk memaksimumkan proses pengecasan bateri kereta.\n\n\nJika anda memiliki beberapa buah kereta di rumah, cabut bateri kereta yang jarang digunakan dan simpan di tempat yang sesuai. Ia sekali gus dapat mengelakkan bateri kereta daripada \u2018kong\u2019 dan memerlukan bantuan \njump start\n \njika tidak dapat dihidupkan. Kunci kereta anda dengan sempurna setelah selesai untuk mengelakkan insiden lain yang tidak diingini seperti kehilangan, kecurian dan sebagainya.\n\n\n3. Periksa Tekanan Angin\n\n\nPeriksa dan pastikan tekanan angin dalam tayar kereta anda berada pada tahap yang sesuai. Tekanan angin dalam tayar yang rendah atau kempis tidak dapat menyerap hentakan jalan yang berlubang sekali gus boleh menjejaskan penjajaran stereng dan merosakkan sistem suspensi. Manakala, tekanan angin yang berlebihan dalam tayar atau terlalu keras boleh mengurangkan cengkaman tayar pada permukaan jalan dan menyebabkan \nbunga tayar haus di bahagian tengah\n.\n\n\nIsi tekanan angin yang bersesuaian di mana-mana stesen minyak berdekatan sekiranya anda merasakan tekanan angin dalam tayar berada dalam keadaan yang rendah. Lakukan pemeriksaaan sekurang-kurangnya sekali setiap dua minggu. Anda boleh merujuk tekanan yang disyorkan pada pelekat maklumat di bahagian pintu tempat duduk pemandu.\n\n\n4. Angkat atau Tegakkan \nWiper\n Kereta\n\n\nWiper\n atau pengelap kereta merupakan komponen kereta yang penting terutamanya jika memandu dalam keadaan hujan. Sekiranya anda meletakkan kereta di kawasan terbuka dan terdedah kepada cahaya matahari, angkat \nwiper\n kereta anda supaya getah \nwiper\n tidak menyerap haba daripada cermin. \nWiper\n kereta yang dibiarkan melekat pada cermin kereta di kawasan panas akan menyebabkan pengerasan getah \nwiper\n sekali gus menjejaskan fungsinya.\n\n\nJika boleh, letak kereta anda di kawasan yang teduh atau di kawasan tempat letak kereta yang tertutup. Cara ini dapat mengelakkan \nwiper\n kereta anda daripada rosak dan memanjangkan jangka hayat getah \nwiper\n. \nWiper\n yang rosak tidak lagi dapat menolak air pada cermin dengan lebih efektif. Ia bukan sahaja mengehadkan jarak penglihatan semasa pemanduan, malah ia turut boleh mendatangkan bahaya kepada anda.\n\n\n5. Elakkan Bintik Mendatar (\nFlat-Spotting\n)\n\n\nKenderaan yang dibiarkan tidak bergerak untuk tempoh masa yang lama akan menyebabkan bintik mendatar atau\n flat-spotting\n pada bahagian tayar. Ia akan mengakibatkan tayar tersebut kehilangan bentuk dan boleh menyebabkan getaran pada stereng semasa pemanduan. Namun begitu, sebahagian besar insiden bintik mendatar adalah sementara dan getaran pada stereng akan hilang apabila tayar mencapai suhu tertentu.\n\n\nUntuk mengelakkan perkara ini berlaku, tingkatkan tekanan angin sebanyak 3 PSI jika ingin meninggalkan kereta dalam tempoh masa yang lama. Selain itu, anda juga boleh gerakkan kenderaan anda ke depan dan belakang untuk memutarkan tayar untuk mengelakkan risiko \nbintik mendatar atau \nflat-spotting\n ini.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerkara Yang Perlu Diperiksa Sebelum Memulakan Perjalanan\n\n\nBagi kereta yang tersadai di rumah dan jarang digunakan, anda dinasihatkan untuk memeriksa perkara-perkara asas berikut sebelum memulakan perjalanan:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLampu kereta \u2013 pastikan lampu termasuk lampu brek masih berfungsi dan berada dalam keadaan baik;\n\n\nMinyak enjin/minyak gearbox \u2013 tarik \ndipstick\n dan periksa paras minyak enjin dan minyak \ngearbox\n. Pastikan ia berada pada paras yang bersesuaian;\n\n\nAir radiator \u2013 pastikan air radiator tidak kering dan tambah air radiator jika perlu. Kereta yang \ntidak bergerak\n terlalu lama boleh menyebabkan radiator tersumbat atau berkarat;\n\n\nTayar kereta \u2013 periksa tekanan tayar dan keadaan tayar sama ada masih elok atau perlu digantikan;\n\n\nPad brek\n \u2013 gantikan pad brek anda jika sudah haus atau nipis;\n\n\nBateri dan \nalternator\n \u2013 jika kereta tidak dihidupkan lama, ia boleh menyebabkan kerosakan pada bateri.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSemoga perkongsian tip penjagaan kereta ini dapat membantu mengelakkan anda untuk mengeluarkan belanja yang lebih besar untuk memperbaiki kerosakan pada kereta anda.

Iklim di Malaysia terbahagi kepada dua iaitu monsun barat daya yang bermula pada penghujung bulan Mei hingga September dan monsun timur laut yang bermula pada bulan November hingga Mac. Monsun Timur Laut membawa hujan lebat terutamanya kepada negeri-negeri di pantai timur Semenanjung Malaysia dan barat Sarawak. Negeri-negeri di pantai timur khususnya di negeri Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, Johor Timur dan Sarawak biasanya menerima hujan yang lebat dalam tempoh ini sekali gus menyebabkan banjir. Baca artikel ini untuk mengetahui langkah-langkah untuk mengurangkan kos pembaikan dan cara membuat tuntutan insurans jika kereta anda ditenggelami banjir.\n\n\n\n\n5 Langkah Kurangkan Kos \u2018Repair\u2019 atau Baiki Kereta Tenggelam Banjir\n\n\nBagi penduduk di sekitar kawasan yang terjejas banjir atau di kawasan sekitar Lembah Klang yang biasa mengalami situasi banjir kilat \u2013 ia sedikit sebanyak membimbangkan pemilik kereta kerana jika tidak ditanggani dengan baik, ia boleh menyebabkan kerugian dan kerosakan yang lebih serius terutamanya pada bahagian enjin. Jika anda berada dalam situasi banjir seperti ini, alihkan kenderaan anda ke kawasan yang lebih tinggi dan elakkan daripada meredah air banjir. Namun begitu, jika kereta anda telah ditenggelami air, anda boleh ikuti 5 langkah di bawah untuk mengurangkan kos pembaikan kereta anda.\n\n\n1. Periksa Paras Air\n\n\nPerkara pertama yang anda perlu lakukan jika kereta anda ditenggelami banjir ialah periksa paras air dan keadaan kereta anda terlebih dahulu selepas banjir surut. Air banjir kebiasaannya meninggalkan kesan lumpur pada permukaan yang bersentuhan dengannya terutamanya pada bahagian luaran kereta. Maklumat ini penting untuk menilai kemungkinan kerosakan sama ada air banjir telah menenggelamkan keseluruhan kereta dan telah memasuki bahagian enjin kereta dan sebagainya.\n\n\n2. Jangan Hidupkan Enjin\n\n\nSekiranya banjir menenggelamkan keseluruhan kereta anda termasuk ruang kabin dan enjin, jangan sesekali hidupkan enjin kereta anda kerana ia berpotensi untuk menyebabkan litar pintas. Komponen utama seperti enjin dan sistem gear mungkin telah rosak disebabkan banjir. Perkara yang boleh anda lakukan ialah cabut bateri kereta anda dan panggil mekanik atau trak tunda untuk membawa kereta anda terus ke bengkel atau pusat servis kenderaan.\n\n\n\n\n3. Periksa Enjin/Gearbox\n\n\nSetelah kereta anda tiba di bengkel, periksa enjin atau gearbox kereta anda terlebih dahulu. Gunakan batang celup (\ndipstick\n) kereta anda \u2013 jika amaun minyak enjin/minyak gear melebihi amaun yang sepatutnya, ini bermaksud enjin anda sudah dimasuki air. Sekiranya minyak enjin dan minyak gear anda telah bercampur dengan air, anda perlu keluarkan dan gantikannya dengan minyak baharu.\n\n\nLakukan \nflushing\n dengan ulangan sebanyak 3 hingga 5 kali bergantung kepada nasihat mekanik anda. Minyak hitam dan minyak gear yang telah bercampur dengan air boleh menjejaskan prestasi kereta.\n\n\n4. Flush Petrol (Jika Perlu)\n\n\nKedudukan tangki minyak yang sedikit rendah juga meningkatkan kebarangkalian air banjir memasuki tangki tersebut. Keluarkan petrol yang telah bercampur dengan air daripada tangki minyak kereta anda untuk mengelakkan kerosakan yang lebih serius pada bahagian enjin kereta anda. Minta pendapat mekanik anda terlebih dahulu sama ada perlu lakukan \nflushing\n atau tidak.\n\n\n5. Cabut, Keringkan Komponen Kereta\n\n\nMana-mana komponen dalam kereta yang boleh ditanggalkan seperti radio perlu dikeringkan. Cuci kereta anda dengan semburan air deras terutamanya di bahagian enjin dan brek. Namun begitu, jangan sesekali sembur ke arah lubang penapis udara dan penutup minyak pelincir. Selain itu, bersihkan juga kekotoran pada kusyen kereta yang mungkin telah ditenggelami lumpur untuk elakkan kusyen daripada berbau hapak.\n\n\nUntuk kesan yang lebih optimum, gunakan perkhidmatan mereka yang pakar mencuci kusyen. Mereka biasanya akan membuka kerusi anda dan mencuci segenap inci ruang kereta anda dengan teliti.\n\n\n\n\nAdakah Kereta Anda Dilindungi Insurans Banjir?\n\n\nKebiasaannya, kereta di Malaysia dilindungi oleh insurans komprehensif yang merangkumi perlindungan kerosakan atau kehilangan kenderaan disebabkan oleh kecurian atau kebakaran, kerosakan disebabkan oleh kemalangan, kematian atau kecederaan ke atas pihak lain dan kerosakan ke atas harta benda pihak lain. Namun begitu, untuk anda yang mungkin tidak tahu \u2013 anda sebenarnya boleh menambah polisi perlindungan tambahan khusus untuk perlindungan bencana alam.\n\n\nPerlindungan tambahan ini dapat membantu anda sekiranya kereta anda rosak disebabkan oleh bencana alam seperti banjir, ribut, tanah runtuh atau bencana alam lain. Namun begitu, ia tertakluk pada terma dan syarat polisi insurans. Perlindungan bencana alam ini boleh ditambah semasa anda \nrenew insurans dan roadtax\n kereta anda dengan bayaran tambahan dianggarkan sekitar RM50 hingga RM200 setahun bergantung pada jenis polisi.\n\n\n5 Cara \n\u2018Claim\u2019\n Insurans Kereta Ditenggelami Banjir\n\n\nJika kereta anda dilindungi oleh insurans tambahan bencana alam, rujuk cara untuk membuat tuntutan insurans banjir di bawah untuk memudahkan urusan anda.\n\n\n1. Hubungi Pihak Insurans\n\n\nJika kereta anda ditenggelami banjir, maklumkan insiden tersebut kepada pihak insurans anda. Jika perlu, minta bantuan perkhidmatan trak tunda. Elakkan daripada menghidupkan kereta anda kerana ia mungkin boleh menyebabkan kerosakan yang lebih serius.\n\n\n2. Kumpulkan Bukti\n\n\nKebanyakan syarikat insurans memerlukan dokumen sokongan dan bukti dalam urusan tuntutan insurans berkaitan banjir:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCatat lokasi dan masa/tarikh insiden banjir yang berlaku;\n\n\nAmbil gambar kerosakan kereta yang ditenggelami banjir;\n\n\nSediakan salinan kad pengenalan, salinan lesen memandu, salinan geran dan salinan polisi insurans untuk rujukan;\n\n\nButiran atau dokumen sokongan lain yang menjelaskan kerosakan kereta (jika ada).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Buat Laporan Polis\n\n\nJika boleh, buat laporan polis sekurang-kurangnya dalam tempoh 24 jam untuk memudahkan urusan tuntutan insurans anda.\n\n\n4. Serahkan Borang Tuntuan dan Dokumen Sokongan\n\n\nJika dokumen-dokumen yang diperlukan sudah lengkap, anda bolehlah menyerahkan borang tuntutan anda bersama-sama dengan dokumen sokongan tersebut kepada ejen insurans atau syarikat insurans anda. Tempoh pemprosesan tuntutan kerugian anda biasanya akan dimaklumkan oleh pihak insurans untuk rujukan anda.\n\n\n5. Hantar Kereta ke Bengkel Panel\n\n\nKebiasaannya, pihak insurans akan menasihati anda untuk menghantar kereta yang terjejas banjir ke bengkel panel syarikat insurans. Anda boleh mendapatkan senarai lengkap bengkel panel berdekatan anda daripada pihak insurans.\n\n\nSemoga perkongsian ini dapat membantu anda sekiranya anda berhadapan dengan situasi kereta ditenggelami air banjir. Langkah-langkah yang dikongsikan mungkin tidak dapat menyelamatkan kereta anda sepenuhnya, tetapi sekurang-kurangnya dapat mengurangkan risiko kerosakan yang lebih teruk dan mengelakkan anda daripada mengeluarkan belanja yang lebih besar. Paling penting, pilih bengkel atau pusat servis kereta yang boleh dipercayai.\n\n\n\n\nUntuk perlindungan tambahan, anda boleh menaik taraf insurans sedia ada dengan menambah \nperlindungan bencana alam\n sebagai persediaan jika situasi sebegini berlaku kepada anda.\n\n\nNota:\n Jika anda mempertimbangkan untuk mendapatkan \nkereta terpakai\n sebagai pilihan anda, mulakan carian anda di \nCARSOME,\n \nplatform jual beli kereta terpakai terbaik\n \ndi Malaysia.

Tisu Basah\n\n\nTisu basah merupakan produk yang menjadi pilihan pengguna untuk membersihkan tangan dan peralatan yang sering digunakan apabila tiada sumber air, cecair pensanitasi tangan (\nhand sanitizer\n) atau sabun berdekatan. Terdapat pelbagai jenis tisu basah daripada pelbagai jenama dijual di pasaran. Secara umumnya, tisu basah untuk bayi atau \nbaby wipes\n tidak sesuai digunakan untuk menghapuskan virus kerana tisu basah jenis ini hanyalah bersifat antiseptik atau antibakteria sahaja.\n\n\nOleh itu, pastikan anda menggunakan tisu basah pembasmi kuman yang mengandungi alkohol dengan kandungan antara 45 hingga 95 peratus untuk lebih keberkesanannya.\n\n\n\n\n2. Pembersih Pelbagai Permukaan dan Semburan Pembasmi Kuman\n\n\nL\naman web \nCnet\n juga mengesyorkan\n bahan pembersih yang mengandungi \nbenzylkonium \natau\n benzylammonium chroride \nyang sering digunakan dalam kebanyakan produk pembersihan isi rumah. \nPembersih pelbagai permukaan atau semburan pembasmi kuman yang mengandungi \nbenzylkonium\n\u00a0atau\u00a0\nbenzylammonium\n chroride \ndipercayai b\nerkesan dalam membunuh kuman. \n\n\nMalah, bahan seperti ini yang boleh digunakan untuk pelbagai jenis permukaan dan semestinya sesuai digunakan untuk kereta anda. Semburan pembasmi kuman boleh digunakan pada bahagian pelapik lantai kereta atau sudut-sudut lain yang sukar dijangkau.\u00a0\n\n\n3.\u00a0Semburan Aerosol Penghilang Bau\n\n\nDisinfectant spray\n atau semburan aerosol penghilang bau ini sesuai digunakan untuk membasmi kuman kerana produk jenis ini biasanya mengandungi triethlene glycol yang berkesan membunuh bakteria dan virus berbahaya dalam udara. Setiap jenis semburan ini mempunyai cara penggunaan yang berbeza. Baca arahan penggunaan pada produk \u2013 pastikan anda mencuci permukaan yang ingin dinyahkuman menggunakan sabun dan air terlebih dahulu untuk lebih keberkesanan.\n\n\nKebiasaannya, semburan aerosol penghilang bau ini sesuai digunakan pada pelbagai jenis permukaan. Anda disarankan untuk melakukan semburan pada bahagian corong penyaman udara semasa penyaman udara dihidupkan dalam kereta yang telah dikosongkan.\n\n\n\n\n4. Sabun dan Air\n\n\nPenggunaan sabun dan air adalah selamat untuk digunakan pada bahagian dalaman kereta terutamanya pada bahagian fabrik dan kulit. Selain tidak merosakkan bahagian dalaman kenderaan, amalan penggunaan sabun dalam kehidupan seharian juga lebih berkesan dalam mengekang penularan wabak Covid-19. Laman web \nAutoblog\n juga turut mengesyorkan amalan pembersihan kerusi kulit menggunakan perapi kulit selain penggunaan sabun dan air untuk mencuci mana-mana struktur kulit dalam kereta. Malah, penggunaan perapi kulit ini lebih disyorkan berbanding penggunaan peluntur kerana ia boleh mengelakkan kerosakan pada struktur kerusi kulit kereta anda.\n\n\nDiharap perkongsian tip pembersihan dan disinfeksi ini dapat membantu anda untuk kekal selamat dan tidak terdedah kepada risiko jangkitan.

Mematikan suis dan mencabut plag peranti yang tidak digunakan bukan sahaja menjimatkan kadar penggunaan elektrik, malah langkah berjaga-jaga ini penting untuk membendung insiden litar pintas atau kebakaran.\n\n\nJangan lupa ambil gambar penutup kepala tong gas yang telah dicabut dan juga suis yang telah dimatikan. Ia akan membantu anda menghadapi perjalanan balik kampung dengan lebih tenang dan selesa. Selain daripada itu, ia boleh dijadikan bahan bukti sekiranya berlaku apa-apa perkara yang tidak diingini semasa ketiadaan anda.\n\n\n3. Buka Lampu dan Matikan Talian Telefon (Jika Ada)\n\n\nAnda disarankan untuk memasang lampu dengan tetapan \u2018timer\u2019 di dalam dan di luar rumah anda. Ia bertujuan untuk mewujudkan suasana rumah berpenghuni sekali gus mengurangkan risiko rumah anda dipecah masuk. Pastikan lampu ini dihidupkan sekitar 6 petang hingga 7 malam setiap hari sepanjang ketiadaan anda.\n\n\nDi samping itu, anda juga digalakkan untuk mencabut talian telefon bagi mengelakkan telefon berdering ketika anda tiada di rumah. Anda juga boleh memasang sistem penggera dan kamera litar tertutup di rumah anda sebagai langkah keselamatan tambahan.\n\n\n4. Kunci Pintu dan Tingkap\n\n\nWalaupun anda hanya meninggalkan kediaman anda untuk tempoh masa yang singkat, amalkan langkah berjaga-jaga dengan sentiasa mengunci pintu dan tingkap rumah anda. Pastikan pintu utama dan pintu belakang rumah anda dikunci dan dan dilengkapi dengan sistem kunci yang berkualiti.\n\n\nKebiasaanya, kediaman di Malaysia dilengkapi dengan jeriji (grill) keselamatan pada pintu dan tingkap rumah \u2013 pastikan ia berkunci. Elakkan daripada menyembunyikan atau menyimpan kunci pendua (spare key) rumah anda di lokasi-lokasi yang mudah dibaca seperti di dalam pasu, di bawah alas kaki atau di dalam rak kasut di luar rumah.\n\n\n5. Jangan Maklumkan Ketiadaan Anda di Laman Sosial\n\n\nDalam zaman yang serba canggih ini, kebanyakan daripada kita gemar memuat naik hantaran berkaitan aktiviti seharian yang dilakukan di laman sosial seperti Facebook, Twitter mahupun Instagram. Ia sekali gus membuka ruang kepada orang lain untuk memantau pergerakan dan aktiviti anda dan hal ini mungkin akan membawa kepada perkara yang tidak diingini.\n\n\nOleh itu, elakkan atau jangan sekali-kali tinggalkan sebarang nota atau memuat naik status di laman sosial anda dengan mengatakan anda tiada di rumah untuk mengelakkan insiden tidak diingini berlaku semasa ketiadaan anda di rumah.\n\n\n6. Maklumkan Kepada Jiran/Pihak Polis\n\n\nSebagai langkah keselamatan tambahan, maklumkan ketiadaan anda kepada jiran untuk menjaga kediaman anda sepanjang ketiadaan anda. Begitu juga dengan balai polis berdekatan dengan mengisi borang yang disediakan. Pihak polis akan melakukan rondaan secara berkala sepanjang ketiadaan anda sekali gus membantu menjaga keselamatan kediaman yang ditinggalkan.\n\n\n7. Periksa Kereta Anda\n\n\nSelain keselamatan kediaman yang ditinggalkan, anda juga perlu mengambil kira keselamatan kenderaan anda sebelum memulakan perjalanan pulang ke kampung halaman. Kenderaan yang diselenggara dengan baik dapat mengurangkan risiko kemalangan atau kerosakan sepanjang perjalanan.\n\n\nSebelum memulakan perjalanan, pastikan kenderaan yang akan dinaiki berada dalam keadaan baik. Lakukan pemeriksaan secara menyeluruh sebelum dan selepas perjalanan untuk mengelakkan sebarang insiden yang tidak diingini daripada berlaku.\n\n\n8. Lakukan Pemeriksaan Kendiri Covid-19\n\n\nAkhir sekali, sebelum bertolak pulang ke kampung, pastikan anda dan ahli keluarga telah melakukan pemeriksaan kendiri Covid-19. Ini penting supaya anda dapat menjamin kesihatan anda dan ahli keluarga, selain daripada memastikan sambutan Hari Raya Aidilfitri berjalan dengan lancar.\n\n\nPastikan anda mendapatkan kit pemeriksaan kendiri yang diperakui oleh Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia. Anda juga mestilah sentiasa mematuhi SOP yang telah ditetapkan oleh kerajaan.\n\n\nTip Asas Pemanduan Balik Kampung Yang Selamat\n\n\nBerikut merupakan senarai semak berkaitan penyelenggaraan kereta yang boleh anda ikuti dan tip asas pemanduan selamat sebelum pulang ke kampung halaman yang boleh anda amalkan:\n\n\n\n\nServis Kereta Dan Periksa Tayar\n\n\nBerdepan masalah kereta rosak di lebuh raya merupakan mimpi buruk bagi semua orang yang memandu. Namun begitu, insiden sebegini boleh dielakkan jika kita mengambil langkah yang sewajarnya sebelum memulakan perjalanan.\n\n\nPeriksa keadaan kereta dan dan pastikan ia berada dalam keadaan baik sebelum balik ke kampung.\n\n\n1. Tayar Kereta\n\n\nTayar merupakan antara komponen penting kereta yang bersentuhan dengan jalan raya. Jika tidak diselenggara dan tidak berada dalam keadaan baik, ia boleh menyebabkan kemalangan atau mengancam keselamatan bukan sahaja diri anda, malah penumpang dan pengguna jalan raya yang lain.\n\n\nPeriksa bunga tayar \u2013 jenis \nkehausan yang berbeza\n pada bunga tayar menunjukkan masalah kerosakan komponen lain yang perlu diberi perhatian. Selain itu, pastikan tekanan udara dalam tayar berada pada tahap yang disyorkan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Brek Kereta\n\n\nPeriksa pad brek kereta anda sama ada ia masih selamat untuk digunakan atau memerlukan penggantian. Pastikan bunyi pelik tidak kedengaran semasa menekan pedan brek. Selain itu, pastikan paras minyak brek mencukupi dan berada dalam keadaan baik.\n\n\nMinyak brek sepatutnya berwarna jernih dan bebas kotoran, tambah jika perlu. Pemeriksaan brek secara berkala penting untuk keselamatan pemanduan anda terutamanya semasa perjalanan jauh:\n\n\n7 Tanda Amaran Brek Anda Perlu Diperiksa\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBunyi \u2013 bunyi berciut, bergeser atau ketukan semasa membrek;\n\n\nSeret \u2013 kenderaan terseret ke tepi apabila membrek;\n\n\nPedal rendah \u2013 pedal brek rendah mencecah ke lantai apabila membrek;\n\n\nPedal keras \u2013 pedal brek terasa keras dan perlu dipijak dengan kuat semasa membrek;\n\n\nMencengkam \u2013 brek mencengkan dengan sedikit sentuhan pada pedal;\n\n\nBergetar \u2013 pedal brek bergetar atau berdenyut walaupun semasa membrek secara normal;\n\n\nLampu \u2013 lampu brek menyala pada papan pemuka kenderaan anda.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Minyak Enjin\n\n\nMinyak enjin kereta perlu ditukar mengikut tempoh penyelenggaraan. Meskipun begitu, periksa paras kuantiti minyak di dalam kereta anda sebelum memulakan perjalanan dan pastikan ia berada pada paras yang disyorkan.\n\n\nJika minyak enjin kereta anda berkurangan secara mendadak, ia mungkin menandakan enjin anda mengalami kebocoran dan perlu diperbaiki dengan segera.\n\n\nCara Memeriksa Keadaan Minyak Enjin\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCabut \ndipstick\n dan bersihkan;\n\n\nMasukkan \ndipstick\n semula ke dalam minyak enjin;\n\n\nKemudian angkat kembali \ndipstick;\n\n\nPeriksa ketinggian paras minyak hitam.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParas minyak hitam yang optimum mestilah berada di antara paras minimum dan maksimum. Tambahkan minyak enjin jika paras minyak berada di bawah tanda minimum.\n\n\n4. \nWiper\n atau Pengelap Cermin\n\n\nSemasa perjalanan, anda mungkin berdepan pelbagai situasi seperti hujan atau keadaan jalan raya yang berkabus. Dalam situasi sebegini, \nwiper\n kereta sangat memainkan peranan untuk membantu meningkatkan jarak penglihatan di hadapan anda. Oleh itu, pastikan air di dalam bekas\n washer fluid\n penuh dan mencukupi untuk kegunaan semasa perjalanan. Untuk elakkan nozel daripada tersumbat, anda disarankan untuk menggunakan air suling atau mineral.\n\n\nSelain itu, tukar getah \nwiper\n jika ia tidak lagi berada dalam keadaan baik \u2013\u00a0\nwiper\n bergoyang atau bergetar secara berlebihan, masih terdapat kesan air semasa menggunakannya, bunyi kedengaran semasa menggunakannya. Secara amnya, anda disarankan untuk menggantikan \nwiper\n kereta anda setiap 6 bulan atau setahun sekali.\n\n\n\n\n5. Lampu\n\n\nPastikan semua lampu kereta anda berfungsi dan menyala dengan baik terutamanya jika memandu pada waktu malam untuk memastikan pemanduan yang lebih lancar dan selamat. Minta bantuan rakan, anak atau isteri untuk membantu melihat sama ada lampu brek, lampu hadapan, lampu belakang berfungsi atau tidak sebelum memulakan perjalanan.\n\n\nSelain meningkatkan jarak penglihatan anda sepanjang pemanduan, lampu yang berfungsi juga membolehkan kenderaan anda mudah dilihat oleh kenderaan lain semasa berada di atas jalan raya sekali gus mengurangkan risiko kemalangan.\n\n\n6. Bateri Kereta\n\n\nBateri kereta merupakan komponen penting dalam sistem elektrik kenderaan. Ia merupakan komponen yang perlu digantikan setiap dua tahun bergantung pada penjagaan dan prestasinya. Sama seperti komponen kereta yang lain, bateri kereta perlu diperiksa dan diselenggara secara berkala untuk mengekalkan kualiti dan prestasi pada tahap yang terbaik.\n\n\nAnda boleh mendapatkan maklumat mengenai \ncara-cara untuk melakukan\n jump start\n dan tip penjagaan bateri kereta \ndi sini\n. Selain itu, anda juga boleh menggunakan multimeter analog atau digital untuk menguji dan mengukur voltan, arus dan rintangan bateri kereta anda.\n\n\n\n\nDapatkan Rehat Mencukupi Dan Rancang Perjalanan Anda\n\n\nPastikan anda mendapatkan rehat yang mencukupi sebelum memulakan perjalanan pulang ke kampung halaman anda. Elakkan daripada memandu selepas bekerja atau selepas makan kerana ia akan menyebabkan anda keletihan dan mengantuk.\u00a0\n\n\nJika anda mengantuk semasa memandu, jangan paksa diri anda. Sebaliknya, singgah di mana-mana kawasan rehat dan rawat untuk berehat seketika bagi mendapatkan semula tenaga. Jika ada pemandu kedua, minta pemandu kedua untuk memandu ke destinasi tujuan anda agar perjalanan anda lebih lancar.\n\n\n\n\nTip Pemanduan Selamat | Peringatan Semasa Berada di Jalan Raya\n\n\n\n\nPatuhi had laju lebuh raya untuk keselamatan diri dan keluarga anda selain mengelakkan anda daripada disaman. Semak saman trafik dan senarai lokasi AES di lebuh raya\n di sini\n.\n\n\nJangan menggunakan telefon bimbit semasa memandu. Hargai dan sayangi nyawa anda dan keluarga anda.\n\n\nElakkan menggunakan lorong kecemasan untuk segera sampai ke destinasi. Biar lambat, asal selamat.\n\n\nPakai tali pinggang keledar dan gunakan kerusi kanak-kanak untuk perlindungan tambahan.\n\n\nJangan mengekori kenderaan lain terlalu rapat.\n\n\nBerhati-hati semasa memandu dan beri perhatian penuh semasa berada di jalan raya.\n\n\nPastikan baki kad Touch N Go mencukupi. Tambah nilai sebelum memulakan perjalanan. Touch N Go kini dilengkapi dengan PayDirect dan RFID yang boleh dihubungkan dengan aplikasi eWallet \u2013 lebih senang untuk tambah nilai, kan?\n\n\nBawa bersama item-item penting yang perlu ada sebelum memulakan perjalanan seperti powerbank, kit pertolongan cemas dan sebagainya. Untuk senarai penuh, baca \ndi sini.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTip Pemanduan Selamat | Rancang Perjalanan Anda\n\n\nDalam pada itu, semasa musim perayaan khususnya, pihak lebuh raya akan berkongsi jadual perjalanan dengan pengguna jalan raya untuk mengurangkan kesesakan di lebuh raya. Patuhi cadangan yang diberikan dan rancang perjalanan balik kampung anda dengan baik.\n\n\nBerikut adalah jadual waktu perjalanan yang dicadangkan bagi pengguna Lebuhraya KL-Karak (KLK), Lebuhraya Pantai Timur Fasa 1 (LPT 1), dan juga Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan (PLUS) untuk tahun ini:\n\n\nSumber: \nFacebook.com\n\n\nSumber: \nFacebook.com\n\n\nTambahan pula, kerajaan Malaysia baru-baru ini telah mengumumkan pemberian tol percuma dan juga diskaun tol sehingga 50 peratus sempena sambutan perayaan Aidilfitri tahun ini.

Selepas berjaya lulus ujian memandu pada umur 17 tahun, anak anda sekarang boleh memandu secara sah di atas jalan raya di Malaysia.\u00a0\n\n\nSementara mereka tidak sabar untuk mendapatkan kenderaan peribadi mereka sendiri, anda pula pening memikirkan cara untuk memberi mereka sebuah kereta yang boleh berfungsi dengan baik, selamat, dan mampu milik.\n\n\nJangan risau, panduan ini akan membantu anda bersedia menghadapi situasi tersebut supaya anda dan anak anda dapat memilih kereta terbaik untuk kegunaan harian mereka!\n\n\nBeli Kereta Baru atau Kereta Terpakai?\n\n\n\u201cAdakah saya perlu membeli kereta baru atau kereta terpakai?\u201d Inilah soalan pertama yang akan ditanyakan oleh sesiapa sahaja yang ingin membeli kereta untuk anak remaja mereka. Jangan risau, kami ada beberapa tip untuk membantu anda membuat pilihan.\n\n\n1. Bajet\n\n\nTetapkan bajet dahulu sebelum fikir nak beli kereta apa. Apabila anda sudah ada bajet, lebih mudah untuk memutuskan kereta apa yang boleh dibeli nanti.\u00a0\n\n\nSelain itu, bajet akan membantu anda menetapkan wang pendahuluan untuk kereta yang akan dibeli dan juga membantu anda menganggarkan bayaran ansuran bulanan mengikut kemampuan perbelanjaan anda.\n\n\n\n\nMudah saja kalau anda mahu tetapkan bajet untuk pembelian kereta. Berikut merupakan beberapa panduan yang boleh anda gunakan:\n\n\n\n\nBayaran pendahuluan: \nApabila membeli kereta terpakai, bayaran pendahuluan yang tinggi dapat mengurangkan bayaran ansuran bulanan anda. Sediakan sekurang-kurangnya 20 peratus bayaran pendahuluan untuk penjimatan maksimum.\n\n\nHadkan perbelanjaan bulanan kereta anda:\n Selepas menolak bayaran hutang yang merangkumi bayaran bulanan kereta, anda seharusnya dapat hidup dengan selesa dan memenuhi keperluan gaya hidup anda. Kaedah anggaran 50/30/20 adalah peraturan yang sangat baik untuk diikuti di mana anda boleh tetapkan 50 peratus dari gaji untuk keperluan anda (termasuk bayaran kereta, utiliti, dan pinjaman), sementara 30 peratus boleh dibelanjakan untuk keinginan anda (membeli-belah, makan) dan 20 peratus lagi merupakan simpanan anda.\n\n\nPendekkan jangka masa pinjaman anda:\n Mengambil tempoh pinjaman selama sembilan tahun mungkin kelihatan berpatutan, tetapi sebenarnya anda akan membayar cengkeram yang sangat tinggi! Adalah lebih baik untuk mengambil tempoh pinjaman yang lebih pendek seperti lima atau tujuh tahun jika bajet anda mengizinkannya.\n\n\n\n\n2. Pembiayaan\n\n\nBila dah ada bajet, bolehlah fikir tentang pembiayaan pula. Sebelum bercakap lebih lanjut tentang pembiayaan, anda harus berbincang dengan anak anda terlebih dahulu agar mereka sedar akan tanggungjawab kewangan yang bakal mereka galas kelak.\n\n\nUntuk panduan pembiayaan, mari kita lihat pilihan pembiayaan untuk dua model yang serupa iaitu \u2013 Proton Saga 1.3L Premium AT yang baru dan Proton Saga Premium 1.3L 2020 terpakai dari Carsome.\n\n\nKatakanlah anda mempunyai wang sebanyak RM10,000 yang boleh digunakan untuk bayaran pendahuluan dan anggaran dalam RM500 untuk bayaran bulanan dalam bajet anda.\n\n\nHarga Proton Saga baru ialah RM39,800.00. Dengan bayaran pendahuluan RM10,000 dan pinjaman selama lima tahun dengan kadar faedah 3.5 peratus, anda perlu membayar ansuran bulanan sebanyak RM583.58, seperti dalam pengiraan di \nsini\n.\n\n\nManakala harga bagi Proton Saga terpakai dari Carsome pula ialah serendah RM35,200. Dengan bayaran pendahuluan RM9,973 dan pinjaman lima tahun, anda cuma perlu membayar RM494 sahaja untuk bayaran ansuran bulanan.\n\n\n\n\nBandingkan RM583.58 dengan RM494, anda akan membayar 15 peratus lebih rendah untuk ansuran bulanan dengan kereta terpakai! Ini merupakan jumlah yang mampu milik bagi anda dan juga anak remaja anda yang akan bekerja di masa hadapan, jika mereka mengambil alih tanggungjawab pembayaran.\n\n\n3. Penyelenggaraan\n\n\nSelesai dengan pembiayaan, aspek seterusnya yang perlu anda pertimbangkan adalah penyelenggaraan.\n\n\n\n\nJika anda memilih untuk membeli kereta baru, anda akan dinasihatkan untuk menyelenggara kereta tersebut di pusat servis yang sah untuk menjaga jaminan waranti kereta.\n\n\nIni akan membuat pilihan penyelenggaraan anda menjadi terhad dan kos penyelenggaraan juga mungkin akan menjadi sedikit mahal terutamanya jika tempoh waranti anda sudah tamat.\n\n\nSementara itu, jika anda memilih kereta terpakai, anda bebas untuk menghantar kereta ke bengkel pilihan anda untuk penyelenggaraan. Kalau anda ada bengkel yang dipercayai, bersesuaian dengan bajet bulanan kereta dan berhampiran dengan kawasan kediaman anda, ini lebih baik!\n\n\nAnda juga tidak perlu risau untuk mendapatkan khidmat pusat servis yang sah jika kereta anda tiba-tiba rosak. Guna sahaja aplikasi mudah alih di telefon anda seperti Pomen dan anda boleh mendapatkan servis professional untuk membaiki kereta anda pada bila-bila masa anda perlu!\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nKereta Rosak? Kos Alat Ganti atau Spare Part Kereta yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\n4. \nKeselamatan\n\n\nKeselamatan sudah pasti akan menjadi faktor yang akan diutamakan oleh ibu bapa apabila membeli kereta untuk anak mereka. Kereta baru kini dilengkapi dengan pelbagai jenis sistem keselamatan untuk memastikan kesejahteraan pemandu dan penumpang, tetapi pada harga yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\nSebagai contoh, lihat sahaja kereta Proton Saga 1.3L Premium AT yang baru. Dengan harga RM39,800.00, ia dilengkapi beg udara SRS berkembar depan, Sistem Brek Anti-Kunci (ABS) dengan Pengedaran Brek Elektronik (EBD), Kawalan Kestabilan Elektronik (ESC) dengan Sistem Kawalan Daya Tarik, Bantuan Brek, Bantuan Tahan Bukit, Parking Sensor Depan dan Belakang, serta kamera pandang belakang, dan semuanya dilindungi oleh waranti Proton kerana ia kereta baru.\n\n\nBandingkan pula dengan Proton Saga Premium 1.3L 2020 terpakai, kereta sama yang dilengkapi dengan spesifikasi keselamatan yang sama, berharga cuma RM35,200 di Carsome. Anda boleh dapat penjimatan lebih dari RM4,000 dan Carsome juga memberikan jaminan waranti satu tahun jika anda membeli kereta Carsome Certified.\n\n\nBeli Dengan Pengedar Kereta atau Dalam Talian?\n\n\nSetelah memutuskan untuk membeli kereta pilihan untuk anak anda, kini anda perlu memilih tempat untuk berurus niaga.\n\n\nPengedar Kereta\n\n\nSekiranya anda memilih untuk membeli kereta baru, anda pasti akan mencari pengedar kereta berdekatan untuk berurus niaga. Tempatnya selesa dan mereka juga ada penasihat jualan untuk membantu anda.\u00a0\n\n\nTetapi bagaimana jika anda tidak dapat menemui pusat pengedar yang boleh memenuhi kehendak anda? Anda akan menjadi kurang selesa untuk meneruskan urus niaga dan jika mereka tidak mempunyai stok kereta yang anda mahu, anda mungkin perlu menunggu sehingga beberapa bulan atau setahun untuk mendapatkannya.\n\n\nAnda juga perlu menghabiskan banyak masa dan tenaga untuk mencari pusat pengedaran yang mampu memuaskan kehendak anda. Mana ada remaja yang mahu habiskan masa mereka mencari pusat pengedaran kereta seharian.\n\n\nLagipun kita juga dalam keadaan pandemik sekarang, tak elok sekiranya kita bergerak secara berlebihan.\n\n\nBeli Dalam Talian\n\n\nDahulu, pembelian kereta dalam talian merupakan angan-angan sahaja. Kini tidak lagi! Platform membeli kereta terpakai dalam talian seperti Carsome menawarkan penyelesaian yang mudah dan dipercayai untuk mencari dan membeli kereta terpakai idaman anda.\n\n\nAnda boleh membuat tempahan untuk sesi pandu uji (kami juga menyediakan khidmat pandu uji di rumah) dengan menghantar maklumat anda dan Konsultan Carsome kami akan menghubungi anda untuk menetapkan satu sesi.\n\n\nDengan hanya beberapa klik, anda boleh dapatkan kereta terpakai yang anda inginkan dalam keselesaan rumah anda, tanpa meninggalkan katil anda pun.\n\n\nSelain itu, pembelian kereta secara dalam talian juga lebih mudah kerana Carsome menyokong pelbagai kaedah pembayaran.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nKaedah Pembayaran Beli Kereta Terpakai di Malaysia\n\n\nNamun, masalah utama dalam pembelian kereta secara dalam talian adalah anda risau tidak dapat memeriksa dan berinteraksi secara fizikal dengan kereta yang anda pilih. Jangan risau, kerana Carsome menyediakan laporan pemeriksaan terperinci dengan gambar yang jelas (ada yang datang dengan pandangan 360 darjah!) untuk setiap kereta terpakai jualan mereka.\n\n\nSangat telus dan sangat mudah berurusan dengan Carsome!\n\n\nKeputusan di Tangan Anda\n\n\nKami harap panduan ini dapat membantu anda dalam membuat keputusan yang tepat ketika membeli kereta untuk anak lelaki atau anak perempuan anda. Memiliki kereta adalah tanggungjawab besar dalam kehidupan seorang remaja.\n\n\nSebagai ibu bapa, adalah penting bagi anda untuk berbincang dengan anak anda terlebih dahulu, sebelum memberi mereka kereta untuk memastikan mereka bersedia untuk menerima tanggungjawab tersebut.\n\n\nSetelah mereka memahami hakikat memiliki kereta, mereka dapat mempersiapkan diri secara mental dan fizikal untuk menjadi pemilik kereta yang bertanggungjawab dan anda juga tidak perlu bimbang di masa hadapan.\n\n\nCarsome Je Lah!\n\n\nKalau anda memutuskan untuk membeli kereta terpakai untuk anak anda, Carsome je lah! Dengan inventori yang luas, mencari kereta terpakai berkualiti tinggi yang memenuhi kehendak anda dan anak anda sangat mudah di Carsome.

Jika dahulu kereta merupakan suatu kehendak, namun hari ini kereta kini menjadi suatu keperluan lebih-lebih lagi jika sudah berkeluarga. Bagi anda yang mungkin sedang mencari kereta keluarga baharu, Carsome menyarankan anda untuk mempertimbangkan ciri-ciri berikut sebelum memilih kereta untuk keluarga yang sesuai untuk anda.\n\n\nTip Pembelian Kereta untuk Keluarga\n\n\nSebelum memilih kereta yang sesuai untuk anda, ambil kira lima kriteria ini sebelum anda membuat keputusan untuk membeli kereta untuk keluarga baharu:\n\n\n1. Praktikaliti Ruang\n\n\nPastikan anda mengambil kira faktor praktikaliti sebelum membeli kereta keluarga. Ambil kira saiz ruang dan faktor keselesaan selepas kesemua ahli keluarga, barangan (\nstroller,\u00a0\ntempat duduk kanak-kanak \u2013 jika ada anak kecil, beg pakaian dan sebagainya) dimasukkan ke dalam kereta. Kriteria ini penting untuk keselesaan semasa perjalanan jauh terutamanya jika anda mempunyai bilangan ahli keluarga yang ramai\n\n\n2. Ciri Keselamatan\n\n\nKebanyakan Pengeluar kereta menghasilkan kereta untuk keluarga dengan sistem dan ciri keselamatan yang terkini bagi membolehkan anda dan keluarga menikmati pemanduan yang selamat dan selesa. Namun begitu, faktor ini adalah bergantung pada bajet anda. Kebiasaannya, kenderaan premium baharu dilengkapi dengan lebih banyak ciri keselamatan moden dan canggih. Anda mungkin boleh mempertimbangkan\n kereta untuk keluarga terpakai\n \ndengan harga yang lebih mampu milik.\n\n\n\n\nCiri-ciri Keselamatan Kereta untuk Keluarga\n\n\nDalam zaman teknologi yang serba canggih ini, kenderaan kini dicipta dengan pelbagai ciri keselamatan dan kelengkapan yang canggih untuk menjadikan pemanduan lebih selamat. Carsome menyenaraikan 9 ciri keselamatan terkini untuk membantu anda mengenal pasti kereta dengan ciri keselamatan yang terbaik dan sesuai untuk anda.\n\n\ni. Kawalan Pemanduan Adaptif (ACC)\n\n\nAdaptive Cruise Control\n atau Kawalan Pemanduan Adaptif menggabungkan sistem kawalan konvensional dengan beberapa jenis sensor radar atau laser yang dapat menentukan kedudukan relatif dan kelajuan kenderaan lain. Data ini kemudiannya digunakan secara automatik untuk menyesuaikan kelajuan kenderaan anda dan mengekalkan jarak yang ditentukan antara kenderaan anda dan kenderaan di hadapan anda.\n\n\nii. Sistem Lampu Depan Adaptif (AFS)\n\n\nKebanyakan sistem lampu depan tradisional dilengkapi dengan dua tetapan \u2013 lampu rendah dan lampu tinggi yang direka untuk meningkatkan jarak penglihatan terutamanya pada waktu malam. Namun begitu, penggunaan lampu tinggi ini berbahaya kepada pemandu lain di hadapan kerana ia boleh menyilaukan dan menjejaskan kualiti pemandangan. Sistem Lampu Depan Adaptif atau \nAdaptive Front-lighting System \nberfungsi menyesuaikan tahap kecerahan dan sudut lampu depan kereta anda secara automatik.\n\n\niii. Beg Udara SRS\n\n\nTeknologi beg udara direka untuk melindungi pemandu dan penumpang semasa perlanggaran. Berdasarkan statistik, penggunaan beg udara dalam kenderaan mampu menyelamatkan nyawa dan mengurangkan kadar kematian akibat kemalangan sebanyak 11 peratus. Beg udara berfungsi dengan tali pinggang keledar untuk mengurangkan risiko kecederaan kepala dan badan sekiranya berlaku kemalangan. Jika sensor mengesan nilai impak yang berlebihan, ia akan mengaktifkan gelembung beg udara di bahagian tempat duduk pemandu dan penumpang dalam tempoh masa 30 hingga 40 milisaat.\n\n\niv. Amaran Pengesanan Titik Buta (BSW)\n\n\nBlind-spot Warning\n atau Amaran Pengesanan Titik Buta berfungsi memantau titik buta, memberi amaran kepada pemandu mengenai kehadiran kenderaan lain. Jika sistem ini mengesan kehadiran kenderaan lain yang sedang menghampiri kereta anda daripada belakang, ia akan menyalakan lampu amaran pada cermin sisi kereta anda.\n\n\nv. Kerusi Keselamatan Kanak-kanak ISOFIX\n\n\nISOFIX Child Seat\n berfungsi untuk memastikan kerusi kanak-kanak dipasang dengan mudah dan selamat terutamanya dalam kereta keluarga. Tempat duduk kanak-kanak dipasang secara terus pada cakuk menjadikan pautan lebih kukuh dan selamat tanpa perlu menggunakan tali pinggang keledar dewasa. ISOFIX menjadikan pemasangan kerusi kanak-kanak lebih selamat, mudah dan mengurangkan risiko kecederaan akibat kemalangan.\n\n\na. Panduan Pemilihan Kerusi Keselamatan Kanak-kanak\n\n\nKajian Institut Penyelidikan Keselamatan Jalan Raya Malaysia (MIROS) menunjukkan 58 peratus kematian kanak-kanak dan bayi di Malaysia adalah disebabkan oleh kemalangan jalan raya. Malah, kekurangan sistem keselamatan kanak-kanak menjadi faktor utama yang menyumbang kepada peningkatan kadar kematian. Carsome berkongsi panduan penting pemilihan kerusi keselamatan kanak-kanak sebagai anda:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJenis kereta, kerusi dan saiz kanak-kanak adalah tiga kriteria utama yang perlu dipertimbangkan sebelum membeli kerusi keselamatan kanak-kanak;\n\n\nAnda disarankan untuk memilih kerusi keselamatan kanak-kanak yang menepati piawaian ISOFIX untuk mengurangkan risiko kecederaan semasa kemalangan;\n\n\nBayi memerlukan kerusi keselamatan kanak-kanak yang menghadap ke belakang sehingga berusia dua tahun atau lebih. Ia dapat mengurangkan risiko kecederaan pada bahagian kaki bayi berbanding semasa menghadap ke hadapan;\n\n\nPastikan kerusi kanak-kanak mempunyai berat dan had ketinggian yang sesuai dengan kanak-kanak yang sedang membesar;\n\n\nPilih kerusi keselamatan yang mesra pengguna. Kebanyakan kerusi kanak-kanak yang dijual di pasaran boleh dipasang dan dibuka dengan mudah apabila tidak digunakan, kusyen boleh ditanggalkan untuk dicuci;\n\n\nUntuk menjimatkan kos, pilih model kerusi kanak-kanak yang boleh digunakan untuk jangka masa panjang.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nb. Cara Pemakaian Kerusi Kanak-kanak\n\n\nKerusi keselamatan kanak-kanak penting bagi memastikan keselamatan dan melindungi kanak-kanak jika berlakunya kemalangan jalan raya. Oleh sebab itu, penggunaan kerusi keselamatan kanak-kanak (CRS) di dalam kenderaan persendirian diwajibkan bermula 1 Januari 2020. Carsome berkongsi cara pemakaian kerusi kanak-kanak yang betul sebagai panduan anda:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLetak atau baringkan belakang anak anda ke kerusi mengikut keselesaan;\n\n\nPastikan tali pinggang keledar mengikut ketinggian paras bahu anak dan kerusi keselamatan berada pada paras yang bersesuaian mengikut keselesaan;\n\n\nPeriksa pemasangan tali pinggang keledar dengan memasukkan dua jari untuk memeriksa kesesuaian. Pastikan ia cukup ketat hanya untuk dua jari;\n\n\nKemaskan tali pinggang keledar di bahagian peha dengan menarik tali pinggang keledar yang disambungkan pada bahu. Kurangkan kelonggaran dengan menarik pelaras tali pinggang keledar ke tengah;\n\n\nAnda juga boleh muat turun \nGaris Panduan Kerusi Keselamatan Kanak-kanak Malaysia\n untuk info lanjut;\n\n\nSelain itu, rujuk manual kenderaan bagi memastikan kerusi keselamatan kanak-kanak telah dipasang dengan cara yang betul.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nvi. Sistem Brek Antikunci (ABS)\n\n\nAnti-braking System\u00a0\natau Sistem Brek Antikunci merupakan ciri keselamatan kereta yang direka untuk mencegah brek daripada terkunci semasa situasi kecemasan. Ia secara tidak langsung menjadikan pemanduan anda lebih selamat. Dengan brek biasa, kereta anda mungkin boleh hilang kawalan, tergelincir atau terbabas jika roda depan kereta anda terkunci semasa pemanduan.\n\n\nvii. Brek Kecemasan Automatik (AEB) &\n\n\nAmaran Perlanggaran Hadapan (FCW)\n\n\nSistem Brek Kecemasan (\nAutomatic Emergency Braking\n) dan Amaran Perlanggaran Hadapan (Forward Collision Warning) dipasang pada kenderaan untuk meningkatkan keselamatan penggunan dan mengurangkan risiko kecederaan akibat perlanggaran. AEB merujuk pada sistem yang mengesan potensi kemalangan, mengaktifkan amaran perlanggaran kepada pemandu dan secara automatik menekan brek untuk mengelakkan atau mengurangkan impak hentaman. Manakala, FCW merujuk pada sistem tanpa AEB untuk membantu mengesan potensi perlanggaran hadapan semasa bergerak dan memberi amaran kepada pemandu untuk mengurangkan risiko kecederaan.\n\n\nviii. Kawalan Kestabilan Elektronik (ESC)\n\n\nKawalan Kestabilan Elektronik atau \nElectronic Stability Control\n (ESC) mengesan situasi kritikal pada peringkat awal dan mengambil langkah sewajarnya untuk menstabilkan kenderaan dengan selamat dengan menggunakan sensor untuk memantau roda kereta anda. Sekiranya kereta tergelincir, sistem akan mengambil alih dan mengenal pasti kadar gelinciran lalu mengawal roda melalui brek untuk mengelakkan kereta berpusing secara tidak terkawal.\n\n\nix. \nLane Departure Warning\n (LDW)\n\n\nSistem ini akan memantau kedudukan kenderaan di lorong dan memberi amaran kepada pemandu jika kenderaan tersasar daripada lorong atau ada kenderaan lain menghampiri atau melintasi garisan putih di hadapan anda. \nLane Departure Warning\n akan memberi amaran bunyi, atau kerusi atau stereng anda akan bergetar sekiranya kereta anda telah melintasi garisan putih atau secara tidak sengaja memasuki lorong lain.\n\n\n\n\n3. Ruang Kabin\n\n\nKebanyakan model kereta moden hari ini tampil dengan ruang kabin yang lebih luas dan selesa. Honda Jazz misalnya, dilengkapi dengan kerusi belakang boleh lipat yang mampu memuatkan objek panjang dan tinggi yang semestinya sesuai untuk keluarga kecil. Selain itu, anda juga boleh pertimbangkan warna kabin, jenis fabrik yang digunakan lebih-lebih lagi jika anda mempunyai anak kecil. Anda mungkin perlu mengeluarkan belanja tambahan untuk membersihkan ruang dalaman kabin jika anak kecil termuntah atau susu tertumpah.\n\n\n4. Penggunaan Bahan Bakar\n\n\nAnda disarankan untuk membandingkan berat kenderaan dengan saiz kapasiti enjin, kuasa dan tork maksimum. Jika enjin kereta anda terlalu kecil dengan saiz badan kereta yang besar, ia mungkin boleh meningkatkan penggunaan bahan bakar. Jika tidak pasti, tanya pemilik kereta yang sama tentang penggunaan bahan bakar melalui \ngroup\n di Facebook atau laman media sosial lain.\n\n\n5. Gaya Pemanduan\n\n\nKenal pasti gaya pemanduan anda sebelum memilih kereta keluarga yang sesuai untuk anda. Ini kerana, gaya pemanduan secara tidak langsung mempengaruhi pemilihan kereta keluarga yang sesuai untuk anda.\n\n\n5 \nFamily Cars\n atau Kereta untuk Keluarga yang Terbaik dan Berbaloi untuk Dimiliki\n\n\nCarsome menyenaraikan 5 kereta untuk keluarga yang bukan sahaja terbaik dan selamat, malah sesuai untuk anda dan keluarga anda.\n\n\n1.

Ia bertujuan untuk mengelakkan anda daripada berbelanja melebihi kemampuan kewangan dan terjerat dengan beban hutang bulanan yang tinggi dalam tempoh masa yang lama. Secara amnya, banyak perkara yang perlu dititikberatkan sebelum membeli kereta pertama\u2013ansuran bulanan, bayaran pendahuluan, \ninsurans dan cukai jalan\n, kos bahan api, penyelenggaraan, pembaikan dan sebagainya.\n\n\n\n\nOleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk mempertimbangkan pilihan-pilihan yang ada. Lakukan tinjauan, kenal pasti tips beli kereta yang betul dan beli kereta yang sesuai mengikut keperluan dan bajet semasa anda.\n\n\nKesilapan yang Biasa Dilakukan oleh Pembeli Kereta Pertama di Malaysia\n\n\nPembelian kereta pertama semestinya suatu proses yang mengujakan terutamanya buat mereka yang baru sahaja melangkah masuk ke alam pekerjaan. Meskipun begitu, tanpa pengetahuan dan tips beli kereta yang betul, pembelian kereta pertama terutamanya kereta terpakai boleh menyebabkan anda menanggung komitmen bulanan yang tinggi. Carsome menyenaraikan tips beli kereta terpakai dan kesilapan-kesilapan yang biasa dilakukan oleh pembeli kereta pertama untuk panduan dan rujukan anda:\n\n\nKesilapan #1: Kereta Baharu Lebih Baik daripada Kereta Terpakai\n\n\nRamai dalam kalangan pembeli kereta pertama cenderung untuk memilih kereta baharu kerana beranggapan kereta terpakai tidak berkualiti dan berpotensi untuk rosak. Namun sebenarnya, kereta terpakai menawarkan alternatif pemilikan kereta yang lebih baik dan menjimatkan jika dilakukan dengan cara yang betul dan sesuai. Ini kerana, kereta terpakai biasanya dijual pada harga yang jauh lebih murah dan sesuai dengan bajet anda yang baru mula bekerja. Berikut merupakan perbezaan antara pembelian kereta baharu dan kereta terpakai untuk penilaian anda:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKereta Baharu\n\n\nKereta Terpakai\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSusut Nilai\n\n\nKadar susut nilai lebih tinggi (lima tahun pertama).\n\n\nTelah susut nilai\u2013kadar susut nilai yang lebih rendah.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNilai Wang\n\n\nMemerlukan belanja yang tinggi.\n\n\nBoleh menjimatkan wang.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerlindungan Insurans\n\n\nLebih tinggi.\n\n\nLebih rendah\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJika pilihan yang betul dilakukan, kereta terpakai merupakan pilihan kereta pertama yang terbaik. Selain menawarkan kos penyelenggaraan dan pembaikan yang lebih rendah, ada sesetengah kereta terpakai menjanjikan kualiti yang setanding, malah lebih baik berbanding kereta baharu. Lakukan tinjauan dan pilih kereta yang sesuai dengan kehendak, keperluan dan citarasa anda.\n\n\nKesilapan #2: Mengambil Mudah dan Tidak Melakukan Tinjauan\n\n\nSelain rumah, pembelian kereta boleh dikatakan item kedua paling mahal yang pernah dibeli sepanjang hidup. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk menilai pelbagai aspek dan kemungkinan sebelum membuat keputusan. Sama seperti pembelian barangan elektrik, perabot dan sebagainya yang memerlukan anda meneliti setiap aspek dan berbincang dengan rakan sebelum membuat keputusan\u2013anda perlu melakukan perkara yang sama sebelum membeli kereta pertama anda yang mungkin berharga jauh lebih mahal berbanding perabot dan barangan elektrik anda.\n\n\nLakukan tinjauan\u2013ambil masa anda sebelum memilih kereta yang sesuai untuk anda. Anda boleh melakukan tinjauan secara fizikal dengan mengunjungi pengedar kereta berhampiran anda atau melalui maklumat yang boleh diperoleh secara dalam talian. Banyak blog-blog automotif, portal jual beli kereta secara online dan laman web lain yang menyediakan ulasan, pendapat, pengalaman pengguna, reputasi pengedar dan maklumat-maklumat lain berkaitan kereta yang boleh anda ketahui.\n\n\nKesilapan #3: Ketahui Keperluan dan Kehendak Anda\n\n\nSediakan diri anda dengan maklumat yang mencukupi sebelum membeli kereta pertama anda untuk mengelakkan anda daripada ditipu. Malah, cara ini juga membantu anda membeli kereta mengikut keperluan dan kehendak anda, bukan mengikut keperluan dan kehendak pengedar. Biasanya, pengedar kereta yang berpengalaman dapat mengetahui sama ada anda pembeli pertama atau tidak dengan menilai pembawakan anda. Kebanyakan pengedar kereta akan mengambil kesempatan ini untuk menjual atau menawarkan kereta yang melebihi bajet pembeli atau tidak sepadan dengan keperluan pembeli hanya untuk menghabiskan stok dalam inventori.\n\n\nOleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk melakukan tinjauan, kenal pasti keperluan dan kehendak anda untuk mengelakkan anda daripada ditipu oleh penjual. Dengan cara ini, ia dapat membantu anda daripada berbelanja melebihi kemampuan kewangan anda dan boleh menjimatkan wang anda.\n\n\nKesilapan #4: \u2018Jatuh Cinta Pandang Pertama\u2019\n\n\nPembelian atau pemilihan kereta berdasarkan rupa, prestasi, citarasa atau pilihan sedia ada dalam inventori tidak menjadi suatu kesalahan. Namun begitu, ia tidak sepatutnya dijadikan keutamaan lebih-lebih lagi semasa membeli kereta pertama anda. Sebagai contoh, anda mungkin beranggapan bahawa kereta\n sport\n merupakan pilihan yang sesuai untuk anda yang berjiwa muda yang baru sahaja mula bekerja, namun ia mungkin tidak sesuai untuk penggunaan harian dan mungkin meningkatkan kos penggunaan petrol.\n\n\nManakala, kereta yang bersaiz kompak atau kecil mungkin lebih sesuai untuk anda kerana kereta jenis ini lebih jimat minyak dan sesuai untuk penggunaan dalam bandar. Dalam erti kata lain, anda perlu mengambil kira kesesuaian sesebuah kereta yang dibeli. Faktor-faktor lain seperti rupa, prestasi dan sebagainya adalah bonus sekiranya kereta pilihan anda mempunyai kesemua ciri ini.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nKereta Jimat Minyak, Harga Murah Berbaloi Bawah RM50K Pilihan Rakyat Malaysia\n\n\n\n\nKesilapan #5: Tidak Memeriksa Sejarah Pemeriksaan\n\n\nKereta yang \u2018kelihatan baik\u2019 tidak menggambarkan situasi dan status kesihatan kereta yang sebenar. Jangan tertipu dengan rupa luaran kereta\u2013meskipun ia kelihatan sempurna, ia tidak semestinya berkualiti. Sesebuah kereta benar-benar berkualiti atau baik hanya boleh dinilai melalui rekod penyelenggaraan atau setelah pandu uji dilakukan. Jika anda mempunyai pengetahuan yang terhad berkaitan aspek teknikal kereta, bawa bersama rakan atau mekanik yang anda kenal untuk membantu anda memeriksa kereta pilihan anda dengan lebih lanjut.\n\n\nSecara amnya, rekod penyelenggaraan dan pemeriksaan membolehkan anda mengetahui sejarah kereta seperti pernah terlibat kemalangan, \nditenggelami banjir\n \natau kebakaran sehingga menjejaskan struktur. Selain rekod penyelenggaraan, anda boleh melalui status sebenar kereta melalui rekod \ntuntutan insurans\n.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \n10 Tip Beli Kereta Terpakai Mampu Milik dan Berbaloi\n\n\nKesilapan #6: Tidak Memandu Uji Kereta yang Ingin Dibeli\n\n\nProses pandu uji\n terutamanya kereta terpakai membolehkan bakal pembeli menguji, menilai dan mengenal pasti kualiti, kelebihan atau kelemahan kenderaan yang ingin dibeli sebelum membuat keputusan. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk memandu uji kereta yang ingin dibeli untuk mengelakkan anda daripada membuat kesilapan yang salah. Anda juga disarankan untuk melakukan pandu uji dengan memandu dua atau lebih model yang menjadi pilihan anda. Ini kerana, dua model kereta yang sama boleh memberikan kualiti pemanduan, prestasi, bunyi dalam ruang kabin yang berbeza.\n\n\nSelain itu, ia juga boleh membantu memberi alternatif pilihan kereta yang lebih baik sekiranya anda mendapati kereta yang anda pandu uji memiliki kekurangan.\n\n\nKesilapan #7: Tidak Mengambil Kira Kos Keseluruhan Pemilikan\n\n\nPemilikan kereta memerlukan kos belanja yang tinggi dan bukan sahaja melibatkan tanda harga yang dipaparkan. Ia turut meliputi kos perbelanjaan lain seperti cukai jualan, waranti tambahan, kadar faedah, tempoh pinjaman dan sebagainya. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk mempertimbangkan kos keseluruhan pemilikan kereta dan tidak mengambil kira bayaran ansuran bulanan semata-mata. Anda mungkin terikat dengan tempoh pinjaman yang lebih panjang untuk memenuhi bajet bayaran bulanan anda. Namun begitu, ia menyebabkan jumlah keseluruhan kereta anda lebih mahal dan terikat dengan kadar faedah yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\nPertimbangkan juga kos-kos lain seperti kos petrol, penyelenggaraan,\n insurans\n, cukai jalan dan sebagainya untuk mendapatkan gambaran sebenar kos yang perlu ditanggung.\n\n\nKesilapan #8: Memilih Tempoh Pinjaman yang Lebih Panjang\n\n\nKebanyakan pembeli kereta pertama akan tertarik dengan tawaran tempoh pinjaman yang lebih panjang, kadar ansurans bulanan yang lebih rendah dan pemilikan kereta tanpa bayaran pendahuluan. Namun begitu, kesemua tawaran ini menyebabkan pembeli terikat dengan kadar faedah yang lebih tinggi. Meskipun tempoh pinjaman yang lebih lama merendahkan amaun bayaran bulanan yang perlu dibayar, ia secara tidak langsung menyebabkan peningkatan kos keseluruhan yang perlu dibayar.\n\n\nSebagai contoh, Ali membeli sebuah kereta terpakai pada harga RM100,000. Pinjaman Ali tertakluk pada kadar faedah sebanyak tiga peratus setahun dengan bayaran pendahuluan sebanyak RM10,000 (10 peratus). Berikut merupakan anggaran kos perbelanjaan yang akan ditanggung oleh Ali untuk pinjaman selama lima tahun atau sembilan tahun:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTempoh Pinjaman\n\n\n5 Tahun\n\n\n9 Tahun\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFormula Pengiraan Pinjaman\n\n\nAmaun Pinjaman + (Amaun Pinjaman x Kadar Faedah x Tahun) / Bulan\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRM90,000 + RM13,500 (RM90,000 x 3% x 5) / 60 Bulan (5 Tahun x 12 Bulan)\n\n\nRM90,000 + RM24,300 (RM90,000 x 3% x 9) / 108 Bulan (9 Tahun x 12 Bulan)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnsuran Bulanan\n\n\nRM1,725.00\n\n\nRM1,058.33\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJumlah Faedah Terkumpul\n\n\n\n\nRM13,500.00\n\n\nRM24,300.00\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKesilapan #9: Tidak Memahami Kontrak Pinjaman Kereta\n\n\nPembelian kereta juga bermaksud anda perlu menandatangani pelbagai dokumen atau kontrak yang menggariskan butiran-butiran berkaitan penjualan anda. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk memahami implikasi kontrak pinjaman sewa beli untuk mengelakkan anda daripada keliru atau tertipu. Baca dan fahami dengan teliti segala terma dan syarat yang terkandung dalam dokumen ini sebelum bersetuju dan menandatanganinya. Meskipun langkah ini nampak mudah, ia boleh mengelakkan anda daripada menanggung kos tambahan atau mungkin menjerat anda sekiranya tidak berhati-hati\n\n\nBeri perhatian terhadap baris-baris tertentu\u2013pastikan pertambahan kos dan sebagainya tidak dinyatakan dalam kontrak lebih-lebih lagi jika pengedar bersetuju untuk menanggungnya.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nPerkara Yang Anda Perlu Tahu Mengenai Pinjaman atau Loan Kereta\n\n\nSemoga perkongsian tips beli kereta dan kesilapan yang biasa dilakukan oleh pembeli kereta pertama ini dapat mengelakkan anda daripada membuat keputusan yang salah. Proses beli kereta terutamanya kereta terpakai bukanlah suatu proses yang sukar jika anda mengamalkan tips, langkah dan cara yang betul. Anda juga disarankan untuk meminta pendapat atau bawa bersama-sama rakan atau kenalan yang pernah melalui pengalaman beli kereta terpakai untuk mengelakkan anda daripada membuat kesilapan yang sama seperti dinyatakan di atas.\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, sekiranya anda merancang untuk\u00a0\nmembeli kereta terpakai\n\u00a0\natau\u00a0\nmenjual kereta terpakai\u00a0lama\n\u00a0anda, layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

Tetapi, membeli kereta terpakai tanpa perancangan yang betul boleh berakhir dengan pelbagai masalah.\n\n\nBerikut merupakan perkara yang boleh anda lakukan untuk mengelak daripada melakukan kesilapan semasa membeli kereta terpakai di masa hadapan.\n\n\nDrama Kereta 1: Jatuh Cinta Dengan Kereta Di Luar Bajet Anda\n\n\nMemang mudah untuk jatuh cinta dengan sebuah kereta pada pandangan pertama, tetapi menguruskan bajet anda untuk menjaga kereta tersebut mungkin sukar, terutama sekali tanpa perancangan yang betul.\n\n\nSebelum membeli kereta, adalah penting untuk mempertimbangkan jumlah yang boleh anda peruntukkan untuk bayaran seperti ansuran bulanan dan juga kepentingan lain yang berkaitan seperti insurans, minyak, dan penyelenggaraan.\n\n\nCara mudah untuk tetapkan bajet anda ialah dengan menggunakan peraturan belanjawan 50-30-20 seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\n50 peratus\n perlu dibelanjakan untuk keperluan seperti bayaran pinjaman kereta, pinjaman rumah, bil, barangan runcit, dan seumpamanya.\n\n\n30 peratus\n pula boleh diperuntukkan untuk kemahuan seperti percutian, kasut baharu, atau gajet baharu.\n\n\n20 peratus\n lagi boleh diketepikan sebagai simpanan bagi kegunaan masa hadapan seperti penyelenggaraan kereta.\n\n\n\n\nDengan cara ini, tidak kira kereta apa yang anda pilih, anda tidak perlu risau tentang penyelenggaraan dan kerosakan yang berlaku secara tiba-tiba kerana anda telah memperuntukkan dana anda dengan betul untuk membolehkan anda menampung kos tersebut.\n\n\nSumber: Tenor.com\n\n\nSatu lagi cara untuk mendapatkan kereta impian anda tanpa perlu risau tentang bayaran ansuran bulanan adalah dengan membayar deposit yang tinggi.

Anda boleh memilih antara pengedar kereta terpakai tradisional atau platform dalam talian.\n\n\nJika anda menikmati aktiviti sosial, suka berjumpa dengan orang lain, dan tidak kisah untuk berjalan jauh, anda boleh memilih untuk mencari kereta impian anda di pengedar kereta terpakai tradisional.\n\n\nTetapi, tanpa perancangan yang betul, ia boleh bertukar menjadi pengalaman yang sukar.

Selain menjimatkan wang ringgit, aktiviti mencuci kereta di rumah boleh dijadikan aktiviti riadah dan senaman sihat bersama keluarga yang tersayang. Namun begitu, bagi pemilik baharu misalnya, anda disarankan untuk mengikuti kaedah cuci kereta yang betul kerana jika silap langkah, ia boleh mengakibatkan peningkatan kos untuk membaiki kesan calar dan kerosakan pada warna cat kereta.\n\n\nCuci kereta dengan kaedah yang betul bukanlah suatu perkara yang sukar. Ia bukan sahaja menjadikan kereta anda tampil lebih bersih, malah kaedah cuci kereta yang betul dalam menjadikan warna cat kereta tahan lebih lama.\n\n\n\n\n3 Kaedah Cuci Kereta di Malaysia\n\n\nSebelum mengetahui tips dan cara cuci kereta dengan baik untuk mengelakkan kerosakan pada warna cat kereta anda, Carsome menyenaraikan tiga kaedah cuci kereta yang biasa digunakan di Malaysia untuk panduan anda:\n\n\n1. Cucian Manual atau \nHandwashing\n\n\nCuci kereta secara manual merupakan kaedah paling selamat untuk mencuci kereta anda. Ia merupakan kaedah yang paling biasa dan banyak ditemui di Malaysia. Biasanya, pekerja akan membilas kereta anda dengan air bersih sebelum menyembur semburan buih pada kereta anda. Kemudian, pekerja akan menyental sebarang kekotoran pada kereta menggunakan kain mikrofiber. Secara amnya, kaedah ini lebih efektif berbanding kaedah cucian lain kerana ia berkesan menanggalkan kekotoran pada kereta dengan cara yang lembut dan berhemah.\n\n\nKebaikan:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMampu menanggalkan kotoran degil dengan selamat;\n\n\nMengurangkan kesan calar.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKekurangan:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBiasanya lebih mahal antara RM10 hingga RM30 (bergantung pada jenis cucian) berbanding cucian automatik;\n\n\nBoleh memakan masa kira-kira 30 minit untuk disiapkan;\n\n\nMemerlukan amaun air yang banyak.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Cucian Tanpa Air atau \nWaterless Car Wash\n\n\nKaedah cuci kereta tanpa air ini hanya memerlukan dua jenis bahan \u2013 bahan semburan dalam botol dan tuala mikrofiber yang akan digunakan untuk mengelap kenderaan anda. Namun begitu, kaedah ini tidak begitu berkesan menghilangkan kotoran-kotoran tertentu. Malah dalam sesetengah keadaan, ia boleh menyebabkan calar pada bahagian badan kereta anda kerana kotoran akan diseret semasa proses pembersihan.\n\n\nKebaikan:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMenjimatkan air kerana air langsung tidak digunakan;\n\n\nBoleh dilakukan di mana-mana lokasi yang bersesuaian, tidak terhad di lokasi dengan punca air sahaja;\n\n\nLebih cepat berbanding cucian tangan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKekurangan:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTidak berkesan dalam menanggalkan kotoran degil;\n\n\nBerkemungkinan boleh menyebabkan calar.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Cucian Automatik atau\n Automatic Washing\n\n\nMesin cuci kereta automatik atau pusat cuci kereta layan diri merupakan antara kaedah cuci kereta yang paling biasa digunakan dan senang ditemui di Malaysia. Terowong cuci kereta ini biasanya dijumpai di lokasi-lokasi tertentu seperti stesen minyak atau tempat tumpuan orang ramai. Kereta akan digerakkan menggunakan tali sawat yang akan membawa kereta melalui berus dan penyembur air automatik, dan pembersihan boleh dilakukan dengan mudah, cepat dan efisien tanpa menggunakan tenaga manusia.\n\n\nKebaikan:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMurah, mudah dan cepat.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKekurangan:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBahan kimia pembersihan yang digunakan terlalu kuat dan boleh merosakkan warna cat kereta dan lapisan \nwax;\n\n\nBoleh mengakibatkan calar, kerosakan bahagian luar badan kereta.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTips Cuci Kereta dengan Betul dan Perkara yang Perlu Dielakkan Semasa Mencuci Kereta\n\n\nAmalah kaedah cuci kereta yang salah bukan sahaja boleh mencalarkan bahagian luaran kereta anda tetapi boleh mengakibatkan kerosakan dan memudarkan warna cat kereta. Oleh sebab itu, Carsome menyenaraikan panduan yang boleh anda ikuti semasa mencuci kereta untuk memastikan warna cat kereta anda tahan lebih lama.\n\n\n1. Cuci Kereta di Tempat Teduh\n\n\nAda pemilik kereta beranggapan mencuci kereta semasa cuaca panas terik merupakan amalan yang betul kerana proses pengeringan tidak memakan masa yang lama. Lazimnya, anda tidak disarankan untuk mencuci kereta terutamanya ketika panas terik. Ini kerana, bahang daripada cahaya matahari akan menyebabkan sisa sabun dan kotoran kering dengan lebih cepat sekali gus meninggalkan tompokan air (\nwaterspot\n) yang boleh menjejaskan dan memudarkan warna asal cat kereta. Masa yang paling sesuai untuk mencuci kereta adalah pada awal pagi, lewat petang atau ketika cuaca redup atau sejuk.\n\n\n2. Basuh dan Bilas dengan Betul\n\n\nSelain itu, anda disarankan untuk cuci kereta bermula dari bahagian bumbung ke bahagian bawah. Elakkan mencuci kereta bermula dari bawah ke bahagian atas, ia akan menyebabkan air sisa kotoran mengalir ke bawah semula dan meninggalkan kotoran dan melekat pada bahagian yang sudah dicuci. Sisa kotoran yang tertinggal ini boleh menyebabkan kerosakan pada warna cat kereta anda. Oleh itu, amalkan tabiat mencuci kereta dari atas ke bawah supaya air kotoran mengalir ke tanah tanpa meninggalkan kotoran pada bahagian yang sudah dicuci tadi.\n\n\nSabun Cuci Kereta\n\n\nPemilihan sabun dan bahan pencuci kereta yang betul dapat mengelakkan kerosakan pada warna cat kereta anda. Di pasaran, terdapat pelbagai jenis sabun pencuci khusus untuk kereta yang boleh anda gunakan untuk mencuci kereta anda. Biasanya, sabun cuci kereta mempunyai kelebihan yang tersendiri bergantung pada jenama yang dipilih. Lakukan tinjauan sebelum memilih sabun cuci kereta yang sesuai dan pilih bahan pencuci yang terbaik mengikut kesesuaian dan tujuan penggunaan. Bahan pencuci khusus untuk kereta mempunyai pH yang seimbang yang direka khusus untuk melindungi dan mengelakkan calar pada permukaan bercat.\n\n\nKebanyakan pemilik kereta menggunakan sabun pencuci pinggan atau baju untuk mencuci kereta. Penggunaan sabun sebegini boleh melunturkan warna cat kereta anda kerana ia mengandungi bahan detergen yang kuat. Meskipun sabun pencuci pinggan boleh menghilangkan kotoran dan minyak pada badan kereta, ia boleh memberi impak negatif terhadap lapisan cat dan permukaan kereta anda.\n\n\n3. Guna Span Lembut atau Kain Mikrofiber\n\n\nKebanyakan pemilik kereta beranggapan penggunaan kain biasa atau kain mikrofiber tidak memberi kesan yang signifikan semasa mencuci kereta. Namun sebenarnya, kain biasa bukanlah pilihan yang baik dan tidak sesuai digunakan untuk mencuci kereta. Anda disarankan untuk menggunakan span lembut atau kain jenis mikrofiber untuk mencuci kereta anda. Span lembut dan kain mikrofiber dapat menjaga bahagian luar kereta dan mengelakkan kesan calar yang boleh menjejaskan nilai kosmetik kereta anda. Penggunaan kain mikrofiber adalah disyorkan kerana ia mudah menyerap air sekali gus menjadikan hasil cucian lebih kemas dan bersih.\n\n\n4. Guna Kaedah Cucian Dua Baldi atau \nTwo Bucket System\n\n\nAmalkan kaedah dua baldi semasa membasuh kereta anda \u2013 satu baldi digunakan untuk mengisi air sabun (basuhan) manakala satu lagi baldi digunakan untuk mengisi air bilasan. Jika anda menggunakan baldi yang sama untuk mencuci dan membilas kereta anda, besar kemungkinan air basuhan tadi bercampur dengan pasir, batu-batu halus dan sisa kotoran yang tertinggal semasa mencuci permukaan kereta anda. Kotoran ini yang melekat pada baldi akan bercampur dengan air bilasan dan boleh merosakkan dan mengotorkan kembali kereta anda.\n\n\nDalam sesetengah keadaan, ia boleh mencalarkan permukaan cat dan menjadikan warna cat kelihatan lebih kusam. Kaedah cucian dua baldi merupakan salah satu kaedah terbaik untuk memastikan anda tidak mencalarkan cat kereta secara tidak sengaja semasa mencuci kereta anda.\n\n\n5. Keringkan dan Kilatkan\n\n\nAntara kesilapan yang sering dilakukan semasa membersihkan kereta ialah membiarkan sisa air bilasan kering dengan sendirinya. Sisa air yang dibiarkan akan meninggalkan kesan tompokan air pada badan kereta. Malah, jika ia dijadikan amalan, ia boleh merosakkan warna cat kereta anda untuk jangka masa panjang. Anda disarankan untuk mengelap badan kereta anda setiap kali selepas dicuci dengan menggunakan kain tuala kering untuk menjaga warna cat kereta supaya tahan lebih lama.\n\n\nElakkan penggunaan tuala biasa \u2013 gunakan material seperti kulit \nchamois\n (jenis sintetik atau asli) untuk mengelap badan kereta anda. Kulit \nchamois\n asli mempunyai daya serapan kelembapan yang tinggi dan tidak menjejaskan warna cat kereta. Manakala, kulit chamois sintentik menyerap lebih banyak kelembapan berbanding kulit \nchamois\n asli dan dijual pada harga yang lebih murah serta tahan lebih lama. Selain itu, anda juga disarankan untuk melakukan \npolish\n dan \nwax\n kereta secara berkala untuk memastikan bahagian luaran kereta anda berada dalam keadaan baik.\n\n\nApa itu \nPolish\n dan \nWax\n Kereta?\n\n\nPolish\n dan\n wax\n kereta merupakan antara elemen penjagaan kereta yang disarankan untuk mengilatkan dan melindungi warna cat kereta anda.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPolish\n kereta berfungsi untuk menggilatkan kereta anda, menghilangkan kotoran degil dan kesan calar-calar halus. Anda disarankan untuk melakukan \npolish\n kereta sekurang-kurangnya dua kali setahun.\n\n\nWax\n pula digunakan selepas anda melakukan \npolish\n kereta untuk menambah lapisan sinar yang berfungsi sebagai lapisan perlindungan warna cat asal kereta. \nWax\n kereta dapat melindungi kereta daripada sinaran UV, menghalang pengumpulan debu dan partikel lain yang boleh merosakkan dan memudarkan warna cat kereta. Ia juga dapat mengurangkan kelembapan yang boleh menyebabkan hakisan atau karat. Anda disarankan untuk melakukan\n wax\n kereta sekurang-kurangnya setiap tiga bulan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nProsedur Lengkap Tukar Warna Cat Kereta atau Warna Kenderaan oleh JPJ\n\n\n\n\nCara Cuci Enjin dan Kusyen Kereta\n\n\nSelain tips cuci kereta dengan betul dan perkara-perkara yang perlu dielakkan semasa cuci kereta, Carsome turut menyenaraikan cara cuci enjin kereta dan cara cuci kusyen kereta seperti berikut:\n\n\ni. Cara Cuci Enjin Kereta\n\n\nSecara amnya, perbuatan cuci enjin kereta tidak akan meningkatkan prestasi atau memanjangkan jangka hayat enjin kereta anda. Namun jika dibiarkan, ia boleh merosakkan komponen-komponen tertentu dalam jangka masa panjang.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeriksa bahagian komponen elektrik yang boleh menyebabkan litar pintas dan balut dengan plastik untuk mengelakkan daripada terkena air;\n\n\nSembur enjin menggunakan air bertekanan rendah untuk menghilangkan debu atau kotoran terutamanya pada bahagian yang sukar dijangkau;\n\n\nLetakkan bahan cucian khas yang boleh menghilangkan minyak dan gris pada permukaan enjin. Anda juga boleh menggunakan bahan alternatif seperti minyak tanah;\n\n\nKemudian, gosok bahagian ini menggunakan berus halus dengan perlahan. Anda juga boleh menggunakan berus gigi atau mana-mana jenis berus yang dijual di kedai perkakasan untuk membersihkan di bahagian celah-celah;\n\n\nBilas enjin menggunakan air bersih untuk menghilangkan sisa kotoran termasuk sisa sabun yang melekat pada enjin;\n\n\nJika ada pistol angin, gunakan untuk membersihkan sisa air di bahagian celah;\n\n\nUntuk mengelakkan kesan tompok air (\nwaterspot\n) dan memastikan enjin kering dengan sempurna, biarkan bonet berada dalam keadaan terbuka selama beberapa jam;\n\n\nSetelah kering sepenuhnya, buka balutan plastik pada komponen elektrik;\n\n\nKemudian, hidupkan enjin dan periksa semua komponen elektrik seperti lampu depan, lampu kecemasan, lampu brek, singal dan lain-lain berfungsi dalam keadaan baik.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nii. Cara Cuci Kusyen atau \nSeat\n Kereta\n\n\nBiasanya, cucian kusyen atau \nseat\n kereta di pusat cucian kereta menelan belanja yang agak mahal. Harga cuci kusyen kereta biasanya bergantung pada jenis kereta, biasanya antara RM150 hingga RM300 bergantung pada jenis perkhidmatan yang ditawarkan. Namun begitu, jika anda ingin membersihkan sendiri kusyen kereta anda, Carsome menyediakan panduan berikut untuk anda:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuka kerusi, keluarkan dan basahkan kusyen;\n\n\nKemudian lumurkan sabun atau bahan pencuci serbaguna pada bahagian yang ingin dibersihkan dan biarkan selama beberapa minit;\n\n\nGosok bahagian yang ingin dibersihkan hingga hilang segala kesan degil dan kekotoran.

However, your car\u2019s resale value is dependent on many factors, including car model, trim, mileage, and car condition.\n\n\nWhile many of these factors are hard to control, there are several things you can do to improve the resale price for your car. In fact, the tips we\u2019ll be sharing here today are DIY tips you can do at home! No trips to the workshop needed.\n\n\nWithout further ado, here are five DIY tips you can do to snag the best resale price for your car.\n\n\n\n\n1. Clean Your Car\n\n\nA clean car makes for the best first impression with potential buyers. A shining, gleaming older car will almost certainly get more interest from buyers than a grubby-looking newer model.\u00a0\n\n\nCleaning your car at home is an easy job. Even just hosing it down and drying it with a microfiber cloth will produce good results. But if you want a better shine, you can use car shampoo to really get the dirt out, followed by a polish and wax to keep that like-new shine.\n\n\nRead More: \nCar Polish or Wax \u2013 How to Maintain Your Car\u2019s Shine\n\n\n2. Clean Your Car\u2019s Interior\n\n\nAs the saying goes, it\u2019s not just about what\u2019s on the outside but also what\u2019s on the inside that counts. A dirty interior will hurt your car\u2019s resale price as well.\u00a0\n\n\nLuckily, cleaning your car\u2019s interior is not difficult. A vacuum will do most of the work, followed by a wipe down of the hard surfaces. Stubborn stains on car seats can be removed using baking soda and warm water, scrubbing the mixture in with a toothbrush to loosen the stain. Finally, bad odors can be removed with a car deodorizer or sanitizing spray.\n\n\nRead More: \nTips on Cleaning and Disinfecting Your Car\u2019s Cabin\n\n\n3. Touch Up Chips & Scratches\n\n\nMost buyers will look for any excuse to lower the price. Chips and scratches in the paintwork are easy targets for them to focus on.\u00a0\n\n\nNormally, car paint is very hard to restore to showroom condition without a dedicated body and paint specialist. But there is a quick-fix DIY version for small dings or scratches. \nTouch-up paint pens\n are ideal for touching up slight paint damage (such as chips caused by stones). These pens are available online, in a wide variety corresponding to manufacturer color codes.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nBusting Used Car Myths\n\n\n4. Remove Small Dents\n\n\nDents are obviously unsightly blemishes that are immediate price slashers. But you can repair minor dents that don\u2019t have paint damage. You can use an ordinary plunger to pull dents on the metal back into shape. For dents on plastic, like on the bumpers, you can use hot water to loosen the dent, then reach behind it and push the dent out with your hands.\n\n\n5. Depersonalize Your Car\n\n\nBefore you let a potential buyer see your car, you would want to remove personal items from the cabin, such as any decorations or personalized accessories. If possible, you would also want to remove any accessories from the exterior as well.\n\n\nThe goal is to get the car back to its stock showroom look, as this will attract a higher resale price. It\u2019s also a psychological trick. When you depersonalize your car, you are presenting it as something that isn\u2019t \u201cyours\u201d per se. This will make it easier for buyers to accept a higher purchase price for your car.\n\n\nSnag the Best Price for Your Car at CARSOME\n\n\nWhen it comes to selling your car, it may be a hassle if you sell it the traditional way. This is why many turn to CARSOME, where you can sell your car within 24 hours*.\u00a0\n\n\nSelling your used car\n through CARSOME is extremely convenient and you can also expect to get a higher resale value (especially if you opt for live bidding) compared to selling your car the usual route.\u00a0\n\n\nHere\u2019s how you can sell your car to CARSOME.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAppointment booking:\n First you will need to book a free inspection online.

Faktor-faktor sebegini merupakan faktor biasa yang mendorong kebanyakan daripada kita untuk menjual atau \ntrade-in\n kereta lama walaupun ia masih belum habis dibayar.\n\n\nNamun begitu, tidak kira apa jua alasan anda untuk menjual atau\n trade-in\n kereta lama anda, CARSOME menyenaraikan tips untuk anda yang ingin jual atau \ntrade-in\n kereta lama yang masih belum habis bayar sebagai panduan anda.\n\n\n\n\nNak Jual atau \nTrade-In\n Kereta Lama Belum Habis Bayar? Ini 3 Prosedur Yang Anda Perlu Tahu\n\n\nBanyak perkara yang perlu difikirkan sebelum menjual atau \ntrade-in\n kereta lama anda apatah lagi jika kereta lama anda masih mempunyai baki pinjaman yang belum dilangsaikan. CARSOME menyenaraikan 3 tips yang perlu anda tahu jika anda ingin jual atau\n trade-in\n kereta belum habis bayar sebagai panduan anda:\n\n\n1. Penyelesaian Penuh\n\n\nPerkara pertama yang boleh dilakukan sebelum jual atau \ntrade-in\n kereta belum habis bayar adalah dengan mendapatkan jumlah \nfull settlement\n atau penyelesaian penuh pinjaman kereta anda. Anda boleh mendapatkan penyata penuh pinjaman anda daripada pihak bank atau anda juga boleh menggunakan \nkalkulator \nloan settlement\n untuk mendapatkan anggaran status terkini baki pinjaman semasa anda. Penyelesaian penuh merujuk kepada bayaran penuh jumlah pinjaman yang masih berbaki dengan pihak bank. Setelah mengetahui baki jumlah hutang yang masih ada, anda perlu melangsaikan kesemua baki pinjaman sebelum anda boleh memohon pinjaman lain.\n\n\nPihak bank biasanya hanya membenarkan urusan \ntrade-in\n kereta selepas 5 tahun (untuk tempoh \npinjaman kereta\n 9 tahun) dan selepas 4 hingga 5 tahun (untuk tempoh pinjaman kereta 7 tahun). Ini kerana, sesetengah bank mengenakan denda atau penalti untuk penyelesaian pinjaman awal kerana sebahagian besar pinjaman disertakan tempoh \nlock-in\n. Oleh sebab itu, anda perlu mengetahui tempoh masa yang sesuai dan jumlah peratusan denda yang akan dikenakan jika anda ingin menjelaskan hutang pinjaman kereta secara \nlump sum\n.\n\n\n2. Harga Pasaran\n\n\nSelain itu, anda perlu mengetahui harga pasaran semasa kereta anda sebelum anda menjual atau\n\u00a0trade-in \nkereta lama anda. Anda boleh mendapatkan nasihat daripada mana-mana penjual kereta untuk mendapatkan anggaran nilai pasaran semasa kereta anda. Anda hanya perlu membawa bersama dokumen seperti geran untuk memudahkan pihak penjual membuat rujukan dan semakan. Namun begitu, anda hanya boleh mengetahui harga pasaran sebenar kereta setelah pemeriksaan dan penilaian dilakukan ke atas kereta anda. Kebiasaannya, kerosakan atau kecacatan pada mana-mana komponen kereta, had perbatuan akan mempengaruhi harga pasaran semasa kereta anda.\n\n\nAnda juga boleh kunjungi mana-mana \npusat pemeriksaan CARSOME \ndi seluruh Malaysia untuk mendapatkan bantuan pemeriksaan dan penilaian kereta secara percuma. Kereta anda akan melalui 175 titik pemeriksaan oleh pemeriksa profesional dan bertauliah dengan hanya memakan masa 30 minit sahaja! Selain itu, anda juga boleh melakukan semakan harga pasaran dengan mengunjungi mana-mana \ndealer \nkereta terpakai berdekatan anda atau menggunakan pelbagai pilihan \nplatform jual beli kereta terpakai\n dalam talian yang tersedia untuk memudahkan urusan anda.\n\n\n\n\nTip Naikkan Harga Jualan Kereta Terpakai\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPastikan penyelenggaraan kereta dilakukan secara berkala. Rekodkan jadual penyelenggaraan dan simpan resit sebagai bukti;\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPastikan kereta berada dalam keadaan baik. Bahagian luaran dan dalaman kereta yang berada dalam keadaan baik dapat meningkatkan nilai jualan kereta lama anda;\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUntuk artikel penuh mengenai cara \nmark-up\n harga kereta terpakai, anda boleh baca \ndi sini\n.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSetelah anda mengetahui harga pasaran semasa kereta anda, ia mudah untuk anda menganggarkan kadar harga\n trade-in\n kereta lama anda. Kadar harga \ntrade-in\n kereta terpakai biasanya lebih rendah sekitar RM4,000 hingga RM10,000 daripada harga pasaran. Ia mengambil kira kos pembaikan yang akan ditanggung oleh pembeli atau \ndealer\n kereta terpakai.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nNak Jual Kereta? 17.5 Perkara untuk Naikkan Nilai Kereta Anda\n\n\n3. Pengiraan\n\n\nJika jumlah penyelesaian penuh lebih tinggi daripada harga yang ditawarkan oleh \ndealer \natau pembeli kereta terpakai, anda perlu menambah jumlah yang kurang tersebut menggunakan duit poket anda. Namun begitu, jika jumlah penyelesaian penuh lebih rendah daripada harga yang ditawarkan oleh \ndealer\n atau pembeli kereta terpakai, anda akan menerima lebihan bayaran tersebut.\n\n\ni. Contoh Pengiraan Situasi 1: Nilai \nFull Settlement\n Lebih Tinggi\n\n\nJika penyelesaian penuh kereta Perodua Myvi lama anda ialah sebanyak RM28,000 dan harga pasaran semasa kereta anda ialah sebanyak RM20,000. Anda perlu tambah duit poket anda sebanyak RM8,000 kepada pihak bank untuk menyelesaikan baki pinjaman kereta anda.\n\n\nii. Contoh Pengiraan Situasi 2: Nilai \nFull Settlement\n Lebih Rendah\n\n\nJika penyelesaian penuh kereta Perodua Myvi lama anda ialah sebanyak RM20,000 dan harga pasaran semasa kereta anda ialah sebanyak RM25,000. Baki RM5,000 boleh digunakan untuk membuat bayaran pendahuluan kereta baharu anda.\n\n\n\n\nJika cara trade in kereta yang belum habis bayar ini kelihatan agak sukar buat anda, jangan risau!

Selain itu, kebolehpercayaan atau \nrealibility\n sesebuah kereta terpakai yang ingin dibeli merupakan antara perkara yang perlu dipertimbangkan. Ini bermaksud, anda perlu mempertimbangkan sama ada kereta terpakai yang ingin dibeli pernah terlibat dalam kemalangan yang serius atau tidak.\n\n\n\n\nJika tersilap percaturan, ia boleh merugikan pembeli sekiranya kereta yang dibeli mempunyai masalah mekanikal atau struktur yang serius. Secara umumnya, proses mengenal pasti kereta terpakai yang pernah terlibat dalam kemalangan boleh menjadi suatu proses yang sukar, lebih-lebih lagi jika kereta yang dibeli telah dibaiki dan kini berada dalam keadaan sempurna. Meskipun tiada cara yang tepat untuk mengenal pastinya, Carsome berharap perkongsian tips ini dapat membantu anda mengenal pasti status sebenar kereta yang ingin dibeli untuk mengelakkan anda daripada tertipu.\n\n\nNak Beli Kereta Terpakai? Elakkan Beli Kereta Terpakai Tanpa Melihat 7 Tanda Ini\n\n\nDalam artikel ini, Carsome akan membantu anda menerangkan beberapa perkara yang perlu diberi perhatian untuk mengetahui sama ada kereta terpakai yang ingin dibeli pernah terlibat dalam kemalangan atau tidak. Kenal pasti 7 tanda kereta pernah kemalangan berikut untuk panduan anda:\n\n\n1. Periksa Bampar Kereta\n\n\nSekiranya anda memeriksa kereta terpakai mengetahui sama ada kereta yang ingin dibeli pernah mengalami kerosakan akibat kemalangan, ada kemungkinan besar pemilik sudah menggantikannya melalui proses tuntutan insurans yang dilakukan. Namun begitu, dalam sesetengah kes, ada kemungkinan pihak insurans akan menolak penggantian atau penukaran bampar kereta semasa proses pemeriksaan. Oleh itu, sekiranya anda mengesan sebarang tanda-tanda kerosakan yang nyata pada bahagian bampar kereta meskipun keseluruhan kereta tampak seperti baharu, minta penjelasan daripada pemilik kenderaan. Tanda-tanda seperti goresan, lekuk dan calar pada bahagian bampar menunjukkan cara penggunaan sebenar pemilik kereta dan petunjuk yang jelas bahawa kenderaan itu mengalami kemalangan.\n\n\n2. Periksa Jurang antara Panel\n\n\nSekiranya anda tidak menemui sebarang kerosakan atau mana-mana bahagian yang mencurigakan pada bahagian bampar kereta, lakukan pemeriksaan di bahagian garis badan kenderaan (bodyline). Kebiasaannya, anda akan dapat mengesan kerosakan akibat kemalangan pada kereta terpakai di bahagian pintu atau di bahagian celah panel kereta. Periksa dengan teliti. Sekiranya anda mengesan sebarang keganjilan seperti jurang panel di suatu bahagian jauh lebih kecil berbanding bahagian lain pada kereta yang ingin dibeli, besar kemungkinan kereta tersebut pernah mengalami kemalangan dan tidak diselenggara dan dibaiki dengan betul selepas kemalangan.\n\n\nSelain itu, lakukan pemeriksaan dengan membuka dan menutup semua pintu termasuk but dan bonet kereta. Sekiranya terdapat bunyi yang tidak normal seperti bunyi nyaring, mengerang atau berdecit \u2013 kemungkinan kereta ini pernah mengalami kemalangan. Biasanya, bunyi-bunyi ini berlaku kerana panel kereta tidak diselaraskan dengan betul atau disebabkan oleh kesan sampingan akibat kerosakan pada rangka kereta.\n\n\n3. Periksa Cat\n\n\nSelain itu, salah satu perkara utama yang perlu dilakukan untuk mengetahui sama ada kereta yang ingin dibeli pernah terlibat dalam kemalangan atau tidak ialah dengan mencari tanda-tanda pengecatan semula. Lakukan pemeriksaan di sekitar tingkap, jurang antara panel dan bahagian dalam pintu untuk mengesan sebarang indikasi semburan lampau atau overspray \u2013 semburan cat secara berlebihan yang menyebabkan pembentukan lapisan cat yang tebal dan kurang kemas. Jika anda mengesan sebarang perbezaan warna atau mendapati ada bahagian kereta yang dicat semula, tanyakan kepada pemilik atau penjual mengenai sejarah kereta yang ingin dibeli.\n\n\nAnda juga disarankan untuk melakukan pemeriksaan pada waktu siang \u2013 cahaya yang terang dapat membantu anda melihat perbezaan kecil (variasi kilauan dan warna) pada bahagian yang dicat semula atau kemasan yang tidak sempurna dengan mudah. Malah, permukaan luar badan kenderaan yang dicat semula boleh menjadi petunjuk kerosakan dalaman yang mungkin memerlukan pembaikan segera.\n\n\n4. Periksa Bahagian Bawah Kereta\n\n\nAnda boleh membawa kereta yang ingin di beli ke mana-mana bengkel untuk melakukan pemeriksaan di bahagian bawah kereta. Namun begitu, sekiranya anda tidak dapat berbuat sedemikian, ambil lampu suluh dan lakukan tinjauan di bahagian bawah kereta. Periksa bahagian bawah badan kereta untuk mengenal pasti sama ada terdapat bahagian yang berkarat, reput dan sebagainya. Malah, anda juga boleh menggunakan tangan anda dengan menyentuh bahagian bawah kereta untuk lebih kepastian.\n\n\nSelain itu, semasa memeriksa kereta terpakai, anda biasanya dapat melihat tanda-tanda kerosakan pada bahagian rangka kenderaan semasa kenderaan sedang bergerak. Jika boleh, minta penjual untuk menggerakkan kereta ke hadapan dan kebelakang dan perhatikan sama ada terdapat tanda-tanda crabbing. Crabbing secara amnya merujuk pada situasi roda di bahagian hadapan tidak berada atau tidak bergerak dalam kedudukan yang sama dengan roda di bahagian belakang. Ia juga menunjukkan kerosakan yang teruk pada rangka kenderaan yang biasanya disebabkan oleh kemalangan yang serius.\n\n\n5. Semak Cermin Hadapan\n\n\nSalah satu tanda lain yang boleh membantu anda untuk mengenal pasti sama ada kereta yang ingin dibeli pernah mengalami kemalangan atau tidak ialah dengan memeriksa bahagian cermin hadapan. Biasanya, cermin hadapan akan menunjukkan tanda-tanda keretakan selepas kemalangan (bergantung pada impak kemalangan) jika tidak digantikan. Namun begitu, jika anda tidak mengesan sebarang keretakan, periksa nombor siri cermin hadapan dan bandingkan dengan nombor siri yang tertera pada cermin sisi keempat-empat bahagian. Sekiranya nombor yang dipaparkan berbeza antara satu sama lain, tanyakan kepada pemilik punca utama cermin kereta digantikan.\n\n\n6. Periksa Bahagian Permukaan Remuk/Ronyok (Creased)\n\n\nBuka semua bahagian kereta (but, bonet, pintu kereta) dan periksa semua bahagian sendi kereta. Sekiranya anda mendapati ada permukaan yang remuk atau ronyok, ini bermaksud bahagian tersebut mungkin rosak disebabkan oleh kemalangan dan tidak dibaiki dengan baik. Anda juga boleh memeriksa sama ada skru dan bolt berada dalam keadaan yang serupa. Sekiranya beberapa skru kelihatan seperti baru digantikan berbanding skru-skru sedia ada yang lain, anda boleh bertanya kepada pemilik sebab skru ini digantikan.\n\n\n7. Periksa Bahagian Enjin\n\n\nSetelah selesai pemeriksaan di bahagian badan kenderaan, lakukan semakan di bahagian ruang enjin kereta pula. Sekiranya anda mengesan kerosakan di bahagian badan kenderaan, namun mendapati ruang enjin tampak seperti baharu \u2013 anda mungkin perlu mempertimbangkan semula keputusan anda. Ini kerana, pemilik mungkin telah menumpukan bahagian enjin kerana pemilik ingin menjual kereta yang dimilik secepat mungkin.\n\n\n\n\nSemoga perkongsian mengenai cara untuk mengesan kemungkinan kereta yang ingin dibeli pernah mengalami kemalangan atau tidak dapat membantu anda memilih kereta yang terbaik. Anda mungkin boleh kongsikan artikel ini kepada semua kenalan atau rakan-rakan yang ingin membeli kereta terpakai untuk mengelakkan mereka daripada tertipu dan akhirnya membeli kereta yang rosak. Malah, anda juga boleh mempertimbangkan perkara berikut untuk membantu anda membuat keputusan yang tepat:\n\n\n1. Bertanya pada Pemilik\n\n\nJika anda mengambil keputusan untuk membeli kereta terpakai secara terus daripada pemilik, perkara pertama yang boleh anda lakukan ialah bertanyakan status kenderaan yang ingin dibeli sama ada pernah terlibat dalam kemalangan atau ditenggelami banjir dan sebagainya. Dalam kebanyakan kes dan situasi, pemilik kenderaan biasanya tidak teragak-agak untuk berkongsi status dan kebenaran mengenai kereta yang ingin dijual. Meskipun begitu, anda masih disarankan untuk memeriksa sendiri kenderaan yang ingin dibeli sebelum membuat keputusan dan tidak mempercayai perkara yang diperkatakan pemilik 100 peratus.\n\n\n2. Menyemak Sejarah Kereta\n\n\nSelain itu, anda juga disarankan untuk menyemak sejarah kereta yang dibeli. Pastikan kereta yang ingin dibeli bebas kemalangan besar dan bebas banjir. Perkara ini penting untuk mengelakkan anda daripada menanggung kerugian dalam jangka masa panjang. Secara amnya, pemeriksaan untuk mengetahui sama ada kereta yang dijual pernah terlibat dalam kemalangan boleh menjadi suatu proses yang mudah asalkan anda memiliki nombor VIN kereta yang ingin dibeli.Anda boleh menggunakan info yang dimiliki untuk menyemak dengan penyedia perkhidmatan insurans sama ada terdapat sebarang tuntutan insurans yang pernah dilakukan oleh pemilik kereta sebelum ini. Namun begitu, anda sesetengah penyedia perkhidmatan insurans yang tidak membenarkan perkongsian maklumat ini dilakukan terutamanya kepada pihak ketiga.\n\n\n3. Minta Bantuan Profesional\n\n\nSelain memeriksa laporan sejarah kenderaan yang ingin dibeli, anda juga disarankan untuk memandu uji kereta yang ingin dibeli. Sekiranya anda mempunyai sebarang keraguan semasa memeriksa kereta terpakai yang ingin dibeli, minta nasihat daripada individu yang pakar. Lakukan pemeriksaan secara profesional sama ada di bengkel atau bawa mekanik bersama dengan anda untuk pemeriksaan. Anda disarankan untuk bertanyakan kepada penjual seberapa banyak soalan yang anda mungkin ada. Ini kerana, setelah anda membelinya, ia mungkin sudah terlambat untuk anda mempertimbangkannya.\n\n\nDengan cara ini, anda dapat mengenal pasti dan memeriksa sebarang kerosakan dari sudut pandangan pemeriksa yang berdaftar dan bertauliah. Di Carsome misalnya, kereta terpakai yang dijual di sini telah menjalani 175 titik pemeriksaan sekali gus memastikan harga yang ditawarkan selari dengan kualitinya. Malah, pemeriksaan yang menyeluruh ini dijalankan untuk memastikan kereta yang dijual atau dibeli oleh Carsome bebas kemalangan besar dan bebas banjir.\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda ingin \nmembeli kereta terpakai yang selamat, berkualiti dan dipercayai\n, layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

Pastikan Kunci Pintu Dulu!\n\n\nAdik-adik dan kakak-kakak sekalian, apabila anda masuk saja ke dalam kereta, apa yang anda akan buat dulu?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBetulkan tudung dan pakaian anda?\u00a0\n\n\nTouch up\n solekan yang dah rosak?\u00a0\n\n\nSusun beg-beg yang anda bawa di tempat duduk penumpang?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKalau anda ada buat mana-mana tabiat seperti di atas, kami mohon untuk ubah sekarang kerana anda sebenarnya mendedahkan diri anda kepada bahaya!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSepatutnya, perkara pertama yang anda patut buat apabila anda masuk ke dalam kereta adalah menutup dan mengunci pintu kereta. Ini untuk mengelakkan mana-mana individu tak dikenali boleh memecah masuk ke dalam kereta anda semasa anda sedang leka membetulkan solekan anda.\u00a0\n\n\nPenjenayah sebenarnya sudah menyasarkan anda semenjak anda keluar daripada kereta lagi dan akan mula bertindak setelah anda masuk ke dalam kereta. Mungkin mereka juga sudah merisik dan menghendap anda berhari-hari sebelum bertindak!\u00a0\n\n\nOleh itu, apabila dah masuk kereta, jangan betulkan solekan dulu, kunci terus kereta anda!\u00a0\n\n\n2. Letakkan Beg Tangan di Tempat Duduk Penumpang? Jangan!\u00a0\n\n\nBaik, anda dah masuk kereta dan dah kunci kereta anda. Bagus! Kemudian anda terus letakkan beg tangan anda di tempat duduk penumpang hadapan. Mungkin selepas ini, anda mungkin tak akan ulang rutin yang ini apabila anda masuk ke dalam kereta.\u00a0\n\n\n\u201cTapi kenapa? Kan saya berada di dalam kereta. Macam mana pencuri boleh masuk?\u201d\u00a0\n\n\nTingkap kereta tetap boleh dipecahkan. Sekalipun telah dipasang dengan tint, ia tetap boleh dipecahkan jika menggunakan peralatan yang betul dan menggunakan tenaga yang cukup kuat.\n\n\n\n\nApa yang boleh anda buat adalah meletakkan beg tangan anda tersebut di bawah kerusi untuk melindungi daripada dilihat mereka yang berniat jahat dan menjadi sasaran pencuri. Terutamanya bagi anda yang tidak memasang tint tingkap.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nJangan Simpan Barang Ini Dalam Kereta!\n\n\nKalau anda nak selamat. Letakkan saja beg di bawah kerusi kerana ia tidak mudah kelihatan daripada luar kereta.\n\n\n3. Ikut Rutin Yang Berlainan Setiap Hari\u00a0\n\n\nKebiasaannya, kita semua sudah mempunyai rutin harian yang kita akan ikut untuk setiap hari. Kita pergi kerja ikut laluan apa, makan sarapan kat mana, kereta apa, pukul berapa anda keluar rumah, balik kerja pukul berapa, dan lain-lain lagi rutin.\u00a0\n\n\nApa kata, terutamanya bagi wanita, anda ubah sedikit rutin harian anda. Tapi, kenapa kena ubah rutin yang kita semua dah selesa?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKebanyakan penjenayah terutama sekali penghendap, mereka akan merisik dan mengikuti mangsa. Mereka sudah tahu mangsa tinggal di mana, pakai kereta apa atau naik kenderaan awam apa, sehinggakan mereka tahu laluan pergi dan balik kerja mangsa.\u00a0\n\n\nDisebabkan itulah, jangan kekal dengan satu rutin saja. Rangka beberapa rutin dan gilirkan rutin-rutin tersebut ikut kesesuaian. Mungkin dua hari ikut rutin A kemudiannya amalkan pula rutin B untuk tiga hari dan seterusnya. Yang penting, jangan konsisten! Pastikan rutin tersebut rawak supaya yang mengekori anda jadi keliru.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Elakkan Kongsi Lokasi di Media Sosial\u00a0\n\n\nAnda sedang bercuti dan baru saja tiba di tempat liburan anda. Seronoknya! Anda buka laman media sosial \u2013 Instagram contohnya, anda ambil gambar untuk buat \nIG story\n dan letakan tag lokasi terkini anda supaya mereka yang mengikuti anda tahu bahawa anda sedang bercuti.\u00a0\n\n\nTak kira lelaki ataupun perempuan, ramai yang tak tahu betapa bahayanya berkongsi lokasi terkini anda di media sosial. Ia seolah-olah memberitahu kepada semua orang termasuklah kepada mereka yang berniat jahat bahawa anda berada jauh daripada rumah anda dan anda tidak dilindungi. Betapa mudahnya untuk penjenayah ini mendapatkan lokasi terkini anda \u2013 anda sendiri yang memberitahunya!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, pabila ada berkongsikan lokasi terkini, anda juga dah memberitahu kepada semua orang yang rumah anda sedang kosong. Ini boleh menyebabkan rumah anda menjadi sasaran pencuri yang telah lama memerhatikan anda.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan: \nTakut Kena Buli? Ini Cara Untuk Berdepan Dengan Pembuli Jalan Raya\n\n\nBukannya tak boleh nak kongsi lokasi tetapi anda harus tunggu sehingga anda beredar dari lokasi tersebut, barulah anda boleh letakkan lokasi tersebut pada mana-mana hantaran media sosial anda. Nampak seperti tak menyeronokkan, kan? Tapi demi keselamatan anda, ia perlu dibuat.\u00a0\n\n\n5. Periksa Tempat Duduk Belakang\u00a0\n\n\nIni yang mungkin ramai lupa nak buat terutama sekali jika anda cuma singgah sebentar di sesuatu tempat seperti di stesen minyak ataupun di mesin teler automatik (ATM) atau di masa-masa anda keluar daripada kereta seketika tanpa\u00a0 menguncinya.\u00a0\n\n\nSebelum memulakan perjalanan atau lebih tepat sebelum anda masuk ke dalam kereta, periksa dahulu tempat duduk belakang untuk memastikan tiada siapa yang menumpang sekali dalam kereta anda.\n\n\n\n\nIni kerana, jika anda terlupa untuk mengunci kereta setelah keluar untuk selesaikan urusan, mungkin ada yang mengambil kesempatan dan menyelinap masuk ke dalam kereta anda. Semestinya, yang menyelinap masuk ini memiliki niat jahat kepada anda nanti!\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, pastikan hanya anda saja yang berada di dalam kereta sebelum menyambung semula perjalanan.\u00a0\n\n\nNak Selamat Lagi? Dapatkan Alat-alat Ini\u00a0\n\n\nSelain daripada mengamalkan tips-tips yang telah disenaraikan seperti di atas, adalah lebih baik jika anda boleh melengkapkan diri anda dengan beberapa alat keselamatan. Alat-alat ini mudah didapati dan boleh dibeli pada harga yang murah.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau anda nak jamin keselamatan sepanjang berada di luar, anda boleh dapatkan alat-alat ini:\u00a0\n\n\n1. Penyembur Lada\u00a0\n\n\nIni ialah alat paling banyak dimiliki oleh orang ramai. Ia juga mudah untuk didapati, mudah untuk digunakan, dan juga mudah untuk disimpan di dalam beg tangan atau digantung pada beg.\u00a0\n\n\nWalau bagaimanapun, anda perlu tahu cara menggunakannya kerana setiap model penyembur lada mempunyai cara guna yang berbeza. Jadi, pastikan anda sudah tahu bagaimana penyembur lada yang anda beli berfungsi.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKalau anda tak tahu menggunakan penyembur lada, ia akan menjadi situasi senjata makan tuan. Kalau salah sembur, anda sendiri mungkin terhidu udara yang mengandungi bahan kimia daripada penyembur lada yang boleh menyebabkan gangguan pernafasan sementara yang teruk!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n2. Wisel Keselamatan\u00a0\n\n\nNampak macam kelakar tapi sebenarnya wisel ini sangat berguna untuk memberi amaran kepada orang di sekeliling anda bahawa anda sedang dalam bahaya.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nNak gunakannya pun cukup mudah dan anda boleh membelinya dalam kuantiti yang banyak pada harga yang murah serta boleh dibeli di mana-mana kedai serbaneka atau kedai mainan.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Rantai Kunci Penggera\u00a0\n\n\nAlat ini sama seperti wisel tetapi apa yang anda perlu buat cuma perlu menekan butang dan ia akan mengeluarkan bunyi penggera yang sangat kuat untuk memberi amaran kepada orang ramai bahawa anda sedang berada dalam bahaya.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDaripada jauh, ia kelihatan seperti rantai kunci perhiasan tetapi ia mempunyai butang dan boleh ditekan menggunakan sebelah tangan dan sebelah tangan lagi, bolehlah anda capai penyembur lada dan bersedia untuk menyerang jika penjenayah masih lagi mendekati anda.\u00a0\n\n\nSediakan Payung Sebelum Hujan\u00a0\n\n\nMalang tak berbau. Kerana itulah anda harus sentiasa bersedia untuk sebarang kemungkinan yang mungkin akan melibatkan nyawa anda. Bukan hanya wanita, lelaki juga harus berjaga-jaga dengan sekeliling mereka memandangkan keganasan boleh terjadi kepada sesiapa saja!\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJadi, jaga diri anda dan manfaatkan semua tips yang telah diberikan ini.

Jika anda tidak memiliki sejumlah tunai yang besar, pasti anda sekarang sedang membuat satu lagi keputusan besar setelah memilih kereta yang mahu dibeli, iaitu memohon pinjaman daripada institusi kewangan.\n\n\nPermohonan pinjaman ini bukanlah satu kerja yang kita biasa buat, maka walaupun ia sebenarnya tidaklah terlalu sukar tapi ia tetap meresahkan. Mana tidaknya, tiada jaminan untuk permohonan anda diluluskan. Jika tidak lulus, perlu ulang balik prosesnya.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJangan risau, di sini CARSOME ingin kongsikan tips untuk meningkatkan peluang permohonan anda lulus dengan sekali hantar sahaja. Tapi sebelum kita bincangkan senarai semak, mari kita imbas kembali syarat-syarat kelayakan untuk memohon pinjaman kewangan untuk membeli kereta daripada \ninstitusi kewangan\n.\n\n\nSyarat Kelayakan \nLoan \nKereta\n\n\nBerikut merupakan antara syarat-syarat kelayakan yang perlu anda ikuti bagi memudahkan urusan permohonan pinjaman atau \nloan \nkereta idaman anda:\n\n\n1. Lesen Memandu Kelas D atau DA\n\n\nIni memang syarat yang terang dan nyata. Nak beli kereta mestilah kena ada \nlesen memandu \nyang sah, walaupun lesen P. Ini kerana sebaik-baiknya orang yang bertanggungjawab atas pinjaman adalah orang yang memandu kereta tersebut. Terdapat beberapa institusi kewangan yang memberi pengecualian permohonan pinjaman kenderaan tanpa lesen memandu dengan syarat gaji pokok mestilah melebihi RM3,000, tetapi peluang untuk lulus amatlah tipis.\n\n\n2. Kelayakan Gaji Beli Kereta\n\n\nHarga kereta yang disarankan dan dikatakan \u201cmampu milik\u201d bagi seseorang individu adalah kereta yang berharga tidak lebih daripada jumlah pendapatan atau gaji setahun individu tersebut. Manakala bagi ansuran bulanan pula, anda juga disarankan untuk memilih kereta yang bayaran bulanannya tidak melebihi 15 peratus daripada gaji anda.\n\n\n\n\nNamun begitu setiap bank mengenakan \nsyarat gaji minimum\n yang berbeza untuk setiap permohonan pinjaman mengikut garis panduan yang ditetapkan. Bagi anda yang ingin memohon pinjaman untuk membeli kereta, anda mestilah berumur tidak kurang daripada 18 tahun dan tidak melebihi umur persaraan semasa tempoh pembiayaan tamat, dengan gaji bulanan minimum sekurang-kurangnya RM1,500 dan ke atas.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Penjamin Kereta atau \nGuarantor\n Kereta\n\n\nJika gaji anda kurang daripada syarat gaji minimum yang ditetapkan oleh pihak bank, penjamin atau guarantor kereta diperlukan untuk menyokong permohonan pinjaman kenderaan anda. Penjamin kereta mestilah daripada kalangan ibu atau bapa atau pasangan (suami/isteri) yang bekerja dan gaji penjamin hendaklah melebihi RM2,000. Selain jumlah gaji, komitmen kewangan penjamin juga boleh mempengaruhi permohonan pinjaman.\n\n\n4. Penyata Bank & Penyata KWSP atau EPF\n\n\nKedua-dua dokumen ini perlu untuk membuktikan pendapatan bulanan pemohon, selain melihat kemampuan pemohon untuk membayar balik pinjaman mengikut jadual seperti yang telah dipersetujui dalam perjanjian.\n\n\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nBeli Kereta Pertama? Ini Perkara Penting Tentang \nLoan \nKereta yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\nSegala butiran di atas kami sediakan sebagai syarat kelayakan secara umum, namun perubahan terma dan syarat bergantung kepada institusi kewangan. Setiap bank mungkin mengenakan syarat yang berbeza. Anda dinasihati untuk menghubungi pihak bank yang berkenaan untuk keterangan lebih lanjut.\n\n\nBaiklah, sekiranya berdasarkan senarai di atas, anda memang layak untuk memohon\n loan\n kereta, ayuh ke langkah seterusnya. Di bawah ini kami sediakan senarai semak untuk membantu meningkatkan peluang permohonan anda diluluskan.\n\n\nChecklist Untuk Permohonan \nLoan \nMudah Lulus\n\n\n1. Kenal Pasti Punca Permohonan Pernah Ditolak\n\n\nIni bagi yang pernah buat permohonan tapi ditolak. Perasaannya sama macam bila cinta ditolak, jadi kita pasti tak mahu merasakannya sekali lagi. Jadi untuk percubaan seterusnya, hubungi pihak bank atau perunding jualan kereta yang uruskan permohonan dahulu dan dapatkan nasihat mereka. Ini merupakan jalan paling singkat bagi memastikan permohonan baharu lulus.\n\n\nBagi yang baru pertama kali mahu buat permohonan pinjaman kereta pula, teruskan ke poin seterusnya.\n\n\n2. Selesaikan Tunggakan Bil atau Hutang\n\n\nBila sebut rekod kewangan, mesti yang pertama orang sebut adalah skor kredit dan CCRIS. Ya, nak \nperiksa rekod CCRIS\n dengan bank memang mudah, tapi yang lebih penting adalah apa yang boleh kita buat untuk pastikan rekod kewangan kita cantik.\n\n\nJika anda ada hutang pinjaman pelajaran seperti PTPTN, pastikan tiada tunggakan. Selain itu, terdapat juga hutang-hutang lain yang diambil kira seperti ansuran membeli perabot, tunggakan bil syarikat telekomunikasi, kad kredit dan lain-lain. Pastikan anda sentiasa \nmembayar semua komitmen kewangan\n dalam waktunya.\n\n\nJika ada menyertai Program Pengurusan Kredit di bawah Agensi Kaunseling dan Pengurusan Kredit (AKPK), anda akan disenarai hitam oleh bank kerana anda dianggap tidak mampu menguruskan pinjaman sedia ada.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Semak & Kira Komitmen Kewangan Anda\n\n\nSenaraikan dan kira jumlah komitmen kewangan anda setiap bulan, dan dapatkan peratusan komitmen berbanding pendapatan bulanan anda. Masukkan sekali anggaran komitmen pinjaman kereta yang bakal dipohon. Seeloknya, setelah dicampurkan semua, komitmen bulanan anda tidak melebihi 70 peratus daripada pendapatan bulanan. Inilah yang selalu disebut sebagai nilai DSR (\nDebt Service Ratio\n).\n\n\n\n\nSekiranya terlebih, anda perlu buat keputusan untuk memilih komitmen mana yang tak penting atau kurang penting berbanding kereta baharu, untuk dibuang. Jangan lupa buat anggaran komitmen pemilikan kereta yang lain seperti kos bahan api, tol, parkir di tempat kerja dan di kediaman jika ada, \nroad tax\n, insurans, dan penyelenggaraan.\n\n\n4. Anda Bekerja Sendiri?\n\n\nTerdapat pelbagai pilihan untuk individu yang bekerja sendiri yang ingin memohon pinjaman kereta tanpa slip gaji. Bank dan institusi kewangan menawarkan pinjaman khas untuk mereka yang bekerja sendiri yang mempunyai keperluan berbeza daripada pinjaman bank tradisional.\n\n\nKalau anda merupakan pemilik syarikat, pastikan syarikat anda telah didaftarkan dengan SSM dan sediakan penyata syarikat sekurang-kurangnya untuk tempoh enam bulan yang terkini.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTanpa slip gaji, dokumen yang paling penting adalah penyata bank yang akan membuktikan pendapatan anda. Bagi pemandu e-hailing, dapatkan dokumen berkaitan daripada syarikat e-hailing seperti Grab, AirAsia atau inDrive.\u00a0\n\n\nSeterusnya, bagi mengukuhkan lagi permohonan anda, sertakan juga borang-borang LHDN yang membuktikan anda tidak culas membayar cukai. Dokumen ini akan memberi gambaran bahawa anda mampu mengurus kewangan dengan baik walaupun bekerja sendiri.\n\n\n5. Dapatkan Penjamin\u00a0\n\n\nJika anda tidak yakin dengan skor kredit atau anda ada masalah dengan dokumen sokongan, anda juga boleh cuba cara ini. Apa itu penjamin? Penjamin merupakan seseorang individu yang berjanji untuk membayar baki hutang peminjam sekiranya anda gagal untuk memenuhi tanggungjawab pinjaman anda.\n\n\nCiri-ciri penjamin yang bagus untuk membantu tingkatkan peluang permohonan \nloan\n anda diluluskan:\n\n\n\n\nMemiliki gaji pokok sekurang-kurangnya RM2000\n\n\nMemiliki gaji bersih sekurang-kurangnya RM2000\n\n\nKomitmen kewangan yang rendah\n\n\nSkor kredit yang cantik\n\n\n\n\n6. Dokumen Yang Lengkap\n\n\nUntuk memudahkan permohonan diluluskan, permudahkanlah urusan pegawai bank yang menguruskan permohonan. Pastikan anda sertakan dokumen yang cukup lengkap dan juga telah dikemas kini seperti yang diminta.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKategori Peminjam\n\n\nDokumen Diperlukan\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPenjawat/Pekerja Kerajaan/Kakitangan Awam\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSalinan kad pengenalan (MyKad);\n\n\nSalinan lesen memandu;\n\n\nPenyata akaun bank gaji (bergantung pada bank);\n\n\nSalinan penyatagaji 3 bulan terkini.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPekerja Swasta\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSalinan kad pengenalan (MyKad);\n\n\nSalinan lesen memandu;\n\n\nPenyata akaun bank gaji (bergantung pada bank);\n\n\nSalinan penyatagaji 3 bulan terkini;\n\n\nPenyata KWSP.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIndividu Bekerja Sendiri/Peniaga\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSalinan kad pengenalan (MyKad);\n\n\nSalinan lesen memandu;\n\n\nPenyata akaun bank 6 bulan terkini;\n\n\nSalinan pendaftaran syarikat (SSM).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. Dapatkan Pinjaman Pralulus\n\n\nPinjaman kereta pralulus merupakan pinjaman kereta yang telah diluluskan dahulu sebelum anda memilih kereta yang anda nak beli. Ada banyak kelebihannya berbanding pinjaman konvensional yang memerlukan masa menunggu yang lama tetapi berisiko untuk tak diluluskan.\n\n\nDengan pinjaman kereta pralulus, anda akan tahu berapa pinjaman maksimum sebelum anda cari kereta yang anda nak. Dengan cara ini, anda boleh beli kereta berdasarkan kemampuan anda. Contohnya, anda mohon pinjaman kereta pralulus dan dipraluluskan untuk RM80,000. Jadi, anda dah boleh beli kereta dalam had ini. Tetapi, tak bermakna anda perlu habiskan had pinjaman RM80,000 itu. Anda boleh beli berdasarkan had, kira bayaran ansuran bulanan dan tetapkan bajet yang boleh anda bayar.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nTakut Pinjaman Kereta Tak Lulus?

Sekali apabila tengok balik, ia dibuat pada tahun 2019. Sebab itulah kedai terpaksa jual murah. Tapi, selamat ke beli tayar stok lama dan bila sebenarnya ia akan luput?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMesti ada yang terfikir, \u2018Jap, tayar pun ada tarikh luput?\u2019. Tayar yang tak digunakan disyorkan untuk disimpan dengan betul maksimum selama enam tahun sahaja sebelum ia dianggap tidak boleh digunakan walaupun bunga tayar masih tebal.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nCara Penjagaan, Tip Beli Tayar Kereta yang Terbaik dan Selamat di Malaysia\n\n\nSebelum tahun 2000, tayar disyorkan untuk disimpan pada had tak lebih dari 10 tahun dari tarikh pembuatannya, namun kini garis panduan yang dipersetujui ialah enam tahun dengan syarat ia disimpan di dalam tempat tertutup dan tidak didedahkan kepada sinar ultralembayung (ultraviolet).\u00a0\n\n\nSaya Tak Selalu Sangat Memandu, Berapa Lama Tayar Kereta Boleh Digunakan?\u00a0\n\n\nRamai yang menganggap, selagi mana bunga tayar masih tebal disebabkan kereta tak dipandu kerap kerana Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) selama dua tahun, tiada keperluan untuk menukar tayar kereta mereka.\u00a0\n\n\nWalau bagaimanapun, tak semestinya juga kerana getah boleh teroksida dan mengering jika ia terdedah dengan pelbagai unsur terutamanya matahari. Jadi, sekalipun bunga tayar masih tebal, bahan tayar tetap akan terdegradasi.\u00a0\n\n\nMenurut Bridgestone Malaysia:\u00a0\n\n\nPerbatuan yang rendah bukanlah masalahnya jika kereta jarang digunakan tetapi penuaan tayar. Penuaan tayar terjadi jika kereta diparkir untuk tempoh yang lama, getah akan teroksida menyebabkan terjadinya keretakan halus.\u00a0\n\n\nPenuaan tayar adalah lebih buruk jika tayar diparkir di bawah cahaya matahari dan tidak diletakkan di kawasan teduh. Sangat disyorkan supaya kereta dipandu sekurang-kurangnya sekali atau dua kali seminggu untuk jarak yang dekat.\u00a0\n\n\nPergerakan tayar akan memindahkan bahan antioksidan atau antiozonan dari dalam getah ke permukaan luar bunga tayar dan dinding tayar. Bahan antioksidan akan membentuk lapisan perlindungan dan memperlahankan kesan penuaan tayar.\u00a0\n\n\nMaka, masih lagi dengan persoalan yang sama \u2013\u00a0 jika anda kesempitan bajet atau kekurangan stok tayar, boleh ke anda membeli tayar yang dikeluarkan pada tahun 2019?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKetika artikel ini ditulis iaitu pada tahun 2021, jawapan ringkasnya \nboleh\n. Tetapi jika anda baca artikel ini pada tahun 2024, makan kami mencadangkan untuk periksa jika getah tayar telah mengeras sebelum membeli.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nTayar Makan Dalam, Tayar Botak atau Bunga Tayar Haus? Punca Kerosakan Tayar yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\nUntuk kereta yang jarang dipandu, tayar masih lagi boleh digunakan lebih daripada lima tahun jika ia dipandu dengan kerap, sekalipun untuk jarak yang dekat kerana pusingan tayar boleh memperlahankan penuaan tayar.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTetapi adalah lebih baik untuk anda periksa tayar anda untuk sebarang keretakan halus pada dinding sisi tayar atau tanda lain getah semakin mengeras.\u00a0\n\n\nUntuk periksa tahun bilakah tayar dibuat, cuma perlu periksa kod DOT empat digit yang menunjukkan minggu dan tahun pembuatan tayar. Dua digit pertama menunjukkan minggu manakala dua digit terakhir menunjukkan tahun.

While some car owners may think that it may be too tedious to thoroughly clean the interior of their car, a recent \nstudy published by the New England Journal of Medicine\n \nsuggests that Covid-19 can live up to four hours on copper, up to a day on cardboard, and up to three days on plastic and stainless steel. With this in mind, it is always better to be safe than sorry. In this respect, Carsome has taken the current issue seriously and have employed good hygiene practices throughout our inspection centers with masks, sanitizers and keeping strict measures on social distancing.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBefore you start, protect your hands by wearing disposable rubber gloves. Areas to focus are the exterior and interior door handles, start button, steering wheel, door cards, windows, door handles, air con vents, gear lever, parking brake, sun visor and even the cabin lights. Basically, any area that you would touch frequently is key. Then, use the items listed below that could kill the virus but will not be too harsh on your interior.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWet wipes\n\n\nUse disinfecting wipes that contain sodium hypochlorite or household bleach because they are highly effective. \nCnet also recommends\n \nother consumer cleaners that use benzylkonium/ benzylammonium chloride, a common active ingredient that is used in many consumer products and is known to be gentler than bleach.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nMulti-surface cleaners\n\n\nDisinfectant sprays or surface cleaners that use benzylkonium/ benzylammonium chloride like the above do the job as well. A couple of sprays on the surface with a wipe down is effective and can be used for areas like carpet and hard to reach corners.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDeodorizing sprays\n\n\nThese sanitizing sprays that contain triethlene glycol is known to kill bacteria and neutralizes viruses in the air. It has been recommended to spray it inside an unoccupied car with the air conditioning switched on, or directly on the air vents.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSoap\n\n\nIf you can\u2019t get anything antibacterial, using soap is just as effective, if not better. Because soap breaks up oil, it also interacts with viruses in the same way. Using any type of soap would do the trick, as it not only kill viruses, it is less likely to degrade the delicate surfaces in your car \u2013 fabrics and leather.\n\n\nFor the best method to take care of surfaces and leathers, \nAutoblog\n has stated to avoid bleach except on simple plastics, to test the cleaners on a surface that is obscured, wipe off the chemicals dry and to use leather conditioner on cleaners that are alcohol-based.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIn light of the current pandemic, do remember to practice good hygiene, mask up, wash your hands, sanitize and ensure that you follow social distancing.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRead below for more stories!\n\n\nIf you are an e-hailing driver, passenger or food delivery rider, \nfollow these Covid-19 safety tips\n to keep yourself safe during this period.\n\n\nBe safe and follow \nbasic protective measures against Covid-19\n.\n\n\nTo better provide more flexibility for customers, Bank Negara Malaysia has implemented a six month deferment for loans. \nClick here\n to find out more.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIf you are looking to sell your car, you can now schedule bookings with Carsome from 5th April 2020 onwards for free inspection slots beginning 15th April 2020.\n\n", "Carsome Author", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

With your dirty shoes almost always being in contact with your car floor and with possible rubbish being left in the car, the cabin could turn grimy and smelly. This not only affects your comfort but could also trigger allergies in some people.\u00a0\n\n\nCleaning your car\u2019s cabin takes only an hour or two and can be done with products you already have at home. So, without further ado, here are the car interior cleaning steps you can do at home.\n\n\n\n\n1. Remove All Rubbish\n\n\nThe first step to cleaning your car\u2019s interior is to get rid of all the rubbish in the car. That includes old receipts, parking tickets, food wrappers, and other items. This is a good time to go through your glove box, door pockets, and boot, and remove rubbish you would otherwise miss. You should also remove and keep aside loose items such as the window shade, tissue box, sunglasses, and access cards you may have in your car.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Remove and Clean the Floor Mats\n\n\nNext, remove the floor mats so you can do some deep cleaning on your car\u2019s carpets. Shake the sand and debris off of the mats, or, if they\u2019re particularly stubborn, you can also vacuum up or brush off the debris.\n\n\nThen, use pressurized water from a hose to wash away the excess soil and scrub the mats with a brush and some soap water. A solution of water and a few drops of dish soap can get your mats squeaky clean. Lastly, hose down the mats and let them air-dry completely before you put them back in your car.\n\n\n3. Wipe Down the Hard Surfaces\n\n\nThe next step to cleaning your car\u2019s interior is to wipe off the dust on the hard surfaces with a microfiber cloth or soft brush. Clean all the areas, especially the dashboard, door pockets, center console, air conditioning vents, and boot.\u00a0\n\n\nAfter that, you can use a slightly damp microfiber cloth to wipe down the surfaces to get them looking new. Alternatively, you can use cleaning products such as soap water or disinfecting wipes to disinfect the surfaces. If you have leather upholstery on the steering wheel, dashboard, or door panel, it\u2019s best to wipe them down with an automotive leather cleaner.\n\n\nRead More: \nCar Vibrates While Driving? Pay Attention to These Things\n\n\n4. Vacuum the Rest of the Interior\n\n\nNext, vacuum the carpets, underneath the seats, headliner, boot, and seat pockets. Depending on the area that you\u2019re vacuuming, you\u2019ll need different vacuum attachments so it\u2019ll be helpful to have them at the side. If the vacuum is not powerful enough to dislodge the dust particles, use a brush to get the job done.\n\n\n\n\n5. Clean the Seats\n\n\nStart cleaning the seats by vacuuming them thoroughly. To clean around the stitching and in the crevices, use the vacuum crevice attachment. Next, use the right products to clean your seats. If you have leather seats, wipe them down with an automotive leather cleaner.\u00a0\n\n\nYou can also consider using a leather conditioner to keep the upholstery supple and shiny. Do follow the product instructions on the bottle and leave your interior to air-dry. For cloth seats, you can use a cloth seat cleaner and a soft brush to scrub away stains and revitalize the seats.\n\n\nSometimes you may have stubborn stains that you just can\u2019t clean at home. If that\u2019s the case, you may want to consider going for a professional car deep cleaning service. The price of a professional deep cleaning in Malaysia varies according to the size of your car, seat type, and grade of the cleaning service. In the Klang Valley, most car deep cleaning services range from RM100 and RM400.\n\n\n6. Clean the Windows\n\n\nWhen cleaning the interior of your car, save the windows for last so you don\u2019t risk dirtying the glass as you move around. While you can use a glass cleaner to clean them, an all-purpose cleaner can get the job done just fine as well. If you don\u2019t have these products, you can even use a few drops of dish soap diluted in water to wipe your windows down.\u00a0\n\n\nLower your windows slightly and start from the top so you can catch any liquid that drips down the side. To dry your windows, use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to prevent scratches.\n\n\nRead More: \n6 Industry Secrets Shared by CARSOME Inspectors\n\n\nWhat Can You Use to Disinfect the Cabin?\n\n\nThere are a number of products you can use to disinfect your cabin.

Oftentimes, you can find them at your local supermarket or automotive supply shop, so finding them shouldn\u2019t be a problem. Here are some items that you can use to disinfect your car\u2019s interior without being too harsh on the sensitive materials.\n\n\nDisinfecting Wet Wipes\n\n\nUse disinfecting wipes that contain sodium hypochlorite or household bleach because they are highly effective. \nCnet\n \nalso recommends\n other consumer cleaners that use benzalkonium chloride ( also known as benzyl ammonium chloride), a common active ingredient that is used in many consumer products and is known to be gentler than bleach.\n\n\nMulti-surface Cleaners\n\n\nSurface cleaners or disinfectant sprays for car interiors that use benzalkonium chloride like the above do the job as well. A couple of sprays on the surface followed by a wipe-down is effective and can be used for areas like carpets and hard-to-reach corners.\u00a0\n\n\nDeodorizing Sprays\n\n\nSanitizing sprays that contain triethylene glycol are known to kill bacteria and neutralize viruses in the air. This product not only disinfects your cabin but will also get rid of odor. You can spray it on the seats and carpets inside an unoccupied car or spray it in the air with the air conditioning switched on. An example of a deodorizing spray that you can use is Febreze.\n\n\nRead More:\n \n5 DIY Tips to Snag the Best Resale Value for Your Car\n\n\n\n\nSoap\n\n\nIf you can\u2019t get a dedicated car interior cleaning product or an antibacterial cleaner, using soap is just as effective, if not better. Because soap breaks up oil, it also interacts with viruses in the same way. Using any type of soap would do the trick, as it not only kills viruses, but it\u2019s also less likely to degrade the delicate surfaces in your car \u2013 the fabrics and leather. Just mix a small amount of soap in a bucket of water and use a microfiber cloth to wipe down the surfaces in your car.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a new car, be sure to check out \nCARSOME\n.

Ia berfungsi meningkatkan tahap kebolehlihatan terutamanya semasa pemanduan dalam hujan. Menurut \nKetua Jabatan Siasatan dan Penguatkuasaan Trafik\n \n(JSPT) Kuala Lumpur, Asisten Komisioner Zulkefly Yahya, kadar kes kemalangan meningkat semasa keadaan cuaca buruk seperti hujan lebat.\n\n\nFaktor seperti permukaan jalan yang basah menyebabkan daya cengkaman tayar kenderaan berkurangan sekali gus menyumbang kepada pertambahan jumlah kemalangan ketika hujan. Selain itu, faktor lain seperti kegagalan teknikal termasuk lampu amaran, lampu brek, wiper kereta dan lampu belakang yang tidak berfungsi antara lain menyumbang kepada kemalangan jalan raya. Ini kerana, cuaca hujan mengehadkan jarak pemandangan terutama pada waktu malam.\n\n\n\n\nKomponen Utama/Bahagian \nWiper\n Kereta\n\n\nPengelap cermin kereta merupakan antara bahagian paling mudah untuk diselenggara dan digantikan. Penyelenggaraan dan penggantian boleh dilakukan di rumah dengan mudah tanpa perlu dibawa ke mana-mana pusat servis. Oleh sebab itu, Carsome menyenaraikan senarai lengkap komponen pengelap cermin kereta untuk membantu anda memahami semua komponen pengelap cermin hadapan dan menentukan masalah yang mungkin dihadapinya.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLengan pengelap cermin (\nWiper arm\n) \u2013 Bahagian ini biasanya diperbuat daripada logam. Komponen ini memindahkan pergerakan daripada motor kepada bilah pengelap;\n\n\nPenyambung (\nConnector\n) \u2013 Komponen ini menghubungkan bilah pengelap dengan lengan pengelap. Anda disarankan untuk menggunakan jenis penyambung yang sesuai untuk memastikan pergerakan getah pengelap yang senyap dan cekap;\n\n\nFleksor spring (\nSpring flexors\n) \u2013 Ia berfungsi memastikan bilah getah mengekalkan tekanan dan sapuan yang sekata;\n\n\nElemen getah \u2013 Ia biasanya diperbuat daripada getah asli atau kloroprena untuk memastikan kelenturan maksimum. Elemen getah yang bersentuhan dengan cermin biasanya disaluti dengan lapisan khas dan serbuk grafit untuk mengurangkan geseran dan melancarkan pergerakan. Ia merupakan bahagian yang paling terdedah kepada kehausan \u2013 getah merosot walaupun tidak digunakan disebabkan oleh cahaya matahari dan faktor cuaca.\n\n\nSpoiler\n \u2013 Komponen ini dipasang pada pengelap cermin hadapan di bahagian tempat duduk pemandu untuk meningkatkan kecekapan aerodinamik dan mengurangkan \nwind lift \nketika memandu pada kelajuan tinggi.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApakah Jenis, Saiz \nWiper\n Kereta yang Sesuai untuk Kereta Anda?\n\n\nSecara amnya, pengelap cermin kereta penting untuk mengelap air pada permukaan cermin hadapan kereta. Oleh itu, anda perlu mempertimbangkan jenis bilah, saiz dan reka bentuk pengelap cermin yang sesuai untuk mengoptimumkan fungsinya.\u00a0Carsome menyenaraikan maklumat-maklumat berikut untuk panduan anda:\n\n\nJenis \nWiper\n Kereta\n\n\nKebiasaannya, terdapat beberapa jenis pengelap cermin yang dijual dalam pasaran \u2013 konvensional, \nflat\n dan hibrid. Jika kereta anda dilengkapi dengan pengelap cermin kereta konvensional, ia boleh digantikan atau dinaik taraf dengan jenis pengelap kereta yang lebih moden (\nflat\n atau hibrid). Namun begitu, jika kereta anda dilengkapi dengan pengelap cermin \nflat\n, ia tidak boleh digantikan dengan pengelap cermin konvensional.\n\n\n1. Pengelap Cermin (\nWiper\n) Konvensional\n\n\nPengelap cermin kereta konvensional adalah jenis yang paling biasa dipasang pada kereta baharu sebelum ini. Namun begitu, sejak kebelakangan ini, kebanyakan kereta baharu dilengkapi dengan pengelap cermin \nflat\n. Pengelap cermin kereta konvensional dikatakan lebih tahan lama dan lebih berkualiti \u2013 oleh sebab itu ia mampu bertahan lama dalam pasaran.\n\n\n2. Pengelap Cermin (\nWiper\n) \nFlat\n\n\nKebanyakan kereta baharu hari ini dilengkapi dengan pengelap cermin \nflat\n. Pengelap cermin kereta jenis ini mempunyai fleksor logam yang menyokong elemen getah dengan \nspoiler\n bersepadu penuh. Ia menggunakan tekanan yang dihasilkan oleh aliran udara sekali gus menghasilkan bentuk aerodinamik yang lebih rata yang dapat mengurangkan bunyi angin.\n\n\n3. Pengelap Cermin (\nWiper\n) Hibrid\n\n\nPengelap cermin kereta hibrid menggabungkan pengelap cermin konvensional dan flat. Ia menampilkan ciri aerodinamik pengelap cermin kereta \nflat\n dengan prestasi pengelap cermin kereta konvensional. Pengelap cermin jenis ini mengekalkan kedudukan bilah getah pada cermin untuk sekali gus menjadikan pergerakan lebih lancar dan senyap terutamanya semasa pada kelajuan tinggi.\n\n\nSaiz \nWiper\n Kereta\n\n\nSaiz pengelap cermin kereta yang sesuai bergantung pada jenis kereta anda. Jika anda tidak pasti, ukur saiz pengelap cermin kereta sedia ada atau rujuk manual pemilik untuk info lanjut untuk mengelakkan anda daripada memilih saiz yang tidak sesuai untuk kereta anda. Pelbagai jenis saiz pengelap cermin dijual di pasaran \u2013 jika bilah getah terlalu panjang, ia akan berlanggar antara satu sama lagi, jika bilah getah terlalu pendek, ia tidak akan membersihkan keseluruhan cermin kereta anda sekali gus menjejaskan jarak penglihatan anda.\n\n\n\n\nAntara Pengelap Cermin (\nWiper\n) Kereta Jenis Getah atau Silikon, Mana yang Lebih Baik?\n\n\nFaktor kualiti atau ketahanan sesuatu produk adalah perkara yang subjektif untuk dibincangkan. Meskipun ramai yang berpendapat pengelap cermin jenis silikon adalah yang terbaik dan tahan lama, ini tidak bermaksud pengelap cermin jenis biasa tidak sesuai dan tidak berkualiti. Secara amnya, faktor kualiti dan ketahanan sesuatu produk perlu mengambil kira aspek penjagaan atau kekerapan penggunaan individu atau pemilik.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWiper Kereta Biasa (Getah)\n\n\nWiper Kereta Silikon\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMudah koyak, haus, rosak atau melekat pada cermin.\n\n\nTidak mudah koyak, haus, rosak atau melekat pada cermin.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGetah lebih cepat keras, tidak fleksibel untuk menyapu air pada cermin.\n\n\nLebih mesra alam dan lebih tahan lama.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTerdapat kesan air tertinggal.\n\n\nSapuan air lebih baik, menyeluruh.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPenglihatan tidak jelas, kabur terutamanya semasa hujan lebat.\n\n\nCermin tidak mudah kabur terutamanya semasa hujan lebat.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWiper\n menghasilkan bunyi bising terutamanya pada kelajuan tinggi.\n\n\nPergerakan \nwiper\n lebih lancar.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerlu ditukar sekurang-kurangnya enam bulan sekali.\n\n\nMenjimatkan kos, tidak memerlukan penyelenggaraan yang kerap.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHarga \nwiper\n getah biasa dijual pada harga yang lebih murah antara RM10-RM50 bergantung pada jenama.\n\n\nHarga \nwiper\n silikon dijual pada harga yang lebih mahal antara RM100-RM200 bergantung pada jenama.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTips Panjangkan Hayat \nWiper\n Kereta\n\n\nCarsome menyenaraikan enam (6) tips mudah untuk memastikan jangka hayat pengelap cermin kereta tahan \nlebih lama:\n\n\n1. Pilih Jenama yang Dipercayai\n\n\nTerdapat pelbagai jenis pengelap cermin kereta yang dijual di pasaran \u2013 pilih jenama yang dipercayai untuk memastikan tahap kualiti, ketahanan dan jangka hayat \nwiper\n kereta yang baik. Kebiasaannya, pengelap cermin kereta yang berjenama mampu bertahan dalam pelbagai jenis cuaca, berprestasi tinggi sekali gus meningkatkan tahap keselamatan semasa pemanduan dalam hujan.\n\n\n2. Pastikan Cermin Hadapan Kekal Bersih\n\n\nFaktor-faktor persekitaran seperti pencemaran yang disebabkan oleh habuk, debu, bendasing (daun-daun kering dan seranga) pada cermin juga turut mempengaruhi prestasi dan jangka hayat pengelap cermin kereta. Oleh itu, anda disarankan untuk melakukan perkara-perkara berikut untuk memanjangkan jangka hayat pengelap cermin kereta:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPastikan cermin hadapan sentiasa berada dalam keadaan bersih;\n\n\nPeriksa \nwiper\n kereta secara berkala terutamanya selepas musim tengkujuh untuk mengenal pasti sebarang kerosakan atau kehausan;\n\n\nBuang sisa bendasing yang terlekat pada cermin hadapan kereta supaya getah pengelap cermin tidak rosak.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Angkat \nWiper\n Kereta Sekiranya Kereta Diletakkan di Tempat Terbuka\n\n\nAmalan mengangkat pengelap cermin kereta ketika cuaca panas dapat mengelakkan getah pengelap cermin daripada rosak akibat suhu dan kepanasan melampau. Jika boleh, letak kereta anda di kawasan yang teduh untuk mengelakkan cahaya matahari daripada merosakkan dan menyebabkan getah pengelap cermin kering. Namun begitu, amalan ini mungkin memberi kesan kepada prestasi lengan pengelap cermin (\nwiper arm\n). Jika lengan pengelap rosak, ia boleh mengakibatkan kualiti pengelapan yang tidak sempurna dan mungkin menelan kos yang lebih mahal jika perlu digantikan.\n\n\n4. Elakkan Penggunaan Penolak Air atau \nWater Repellent\n\n\nPenggunaan bahan seperti penolak air dapat memendekkan jangka hayat pengelap cermin kereta anda. Ia berpotensi menyebabkan kadar kelusuhan pengelap cermin yang tidak sekata selain dapat menjejaskan kualiti pengelapan. Selain itu, penggunaan bahan penolak air ini juga menyebabkan kesan kabut pada cermin sukar untuk dihilangkan terutamanya semasa pemanduan dalam hujan pada waktu malam.\n\n\n5. Periksa Getah \nWiper\n Setiap Enam Bulan\n\n\nAnda disarankan untuk memeriksa dan menggantikan getah pengelap cermin kereta anda setiap enam bulan. Jika anda mengesan tanda-tanda seperti pengerasan, lusuh, haus, rosak atau pecah \u2013 ia menunjukkan pengelap cermin kereta anda perlu digantikan dengan segera.\n\n\n6. Tukar \nWiper\n Sekiranya Terdapat Tanda-tanda Ini\n\n\nSecara amnya, anda disarankan untuk menukar pengelap cermin kereta anda setiap enam (6) bulan hingga setahun bergantung pada jenis pengelap cermin yang digunakan dan kekerapan penggunaan anda. Namun begitu, anda boleh menukar pengelap cermin kereta anda sekiranya anda mengesan salah satu daripada tanda-tanda berikut:\n\n\ni. \nWiper\n Bergoyang atau Bergetar Secara Berlebihan\n\n\nSekiranya pengelap cermin kereta bergetar atau bergoyang secara berlebihan semasa digunakan, besar kemungkinan getah pengelap cermin sudah haus atau berlaku kerosakan pada bahagian bingkai pengelap cermin. Sama seperti komponen kereta yang lain, pengelap cermin akan mengalami kehausan setelah digunakan dan akan menghasilkan getaran yang berlebihan.\n\n\nii. Ada Tinggalan Sisa Air pada Cermin\n\n\nPengelap cermin berfungsi untuk menghilangkan sisa atau kesan air pada cermin terutamanya semasa hujan dengan mudah. Namun begitu, jika masih terdapat kesan air bergaris pada permukaan cermin semasa pengelap cermin digunakan, ia menandakan pengelap cermin kereta anda perlu digantikan segera. Ini kerana, getah pengelap cermin telah rosak, pecah atau kering sekali gus menyebabkannya tidak dapat mengelap air dengan baik.\n\n\niii. Ada Bunyi Semasa \nWiper\n Digunakan\n\n\nSelain itu, anda disarankan untuk menukar pengelap cermin anda jika terdapat bunyi bising yang terhasil semasa ia digunakan. Jika ada bunyi semasa pengelap cermin digunakan, ia bermaksud pengelap cermin sedia ada tidak lagi efektif untuk digunakan dan tidak berada dalam keadaan baik.\n\n\nTips Penjagaan \nWiper\n Kereta\n\n\nBagi memastikan pengelap cermin kereta tahan lebih lama, terdapat beberapa aspek penjagaan yang perlu dipatuhi.\n\n\n\n\nBersihkan bilah pengelap cermin kereta secara berkala untuk mengelakkan sebarang kotoran daripada melekat padanya;\n\n\nTegakkan atau angkat bilah pengelap cermin kereta \nsekiranya kereta diletakkan di kawasan tempat letak kereta terbuka atau di bawah panas terik;\n\n\nBersihkan cermin kereta supaya kotoran pada permukaan cermin tidak merosakkan getah pengelap cermin kereta;\n\n\nGunakan cecair atau bahan pencuci cermin yang selamat dan tidak memberi kesan sampingan terhadap getah pengelap cermin dan cermin.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWiper\n kereta yang berada dalam keadaan baik bukan sahaja memberi keselesaaan semasa pemanduan, malah turut memastikan keselamatan anda mengelakkan daripada berlakunya kemalangan yang tidak diduga. Oleh itu, pastikan pengelap cermin atau\n wiper\n kereta anda sentiasa berada dalam keadaan baik untuk mengelakkan situasi-situasi yang tidak diingini daripada berlaku terutamanya semasa pemanduan dalam hujan.\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda sedang mempertimbangkan untuk\u00a0\nmenjual kereta lama\u00a0\ndan berminat untuk\u00a0\nmendapatkan\u00a0kereta terpakai\n\u00a0\nbaharu, layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

Sebab itulah anda perlu menjaganya dengan baik agar ia boleh terus berfungsi tanpa sebarang masalah.\n\n\nBukan itu sahaja, kereta anda juga merupakan sebuah aset yang boleh anda tukarkan kepada wang tunai di masa hadapan atau semasa keadaan memerlukan. Jadi, untuk mengekalkan nilai jualan semula yang baik untuk kereta anda pada masa hadapan, penjagaan kereta yang baik memainkan peranan yang penting.\n\n\nBerikut adalah beberapa tips yang dapat membantu anda menjaga kereta anda dan sebab anda perlu melakukannya.\n\n\nTips Penjagaan Kereta\n\n\n\n\nIkut Jadual Penyelenggaraan\n\n\nCara paling mudah untuk menjaga kereta anda adalah dengan mematuhi jadual penyelenggaraan yang telah ditetapkan oleh pihak pengedar kereta. Ia berfungsi sebagai pemeriksaan kesihatan berkala untuk kereta anda dan memandangkan ia dilakukan oleh pemeriksa yang terlatih.\n\n\nHal ini juga dapat membantu anda mengesan sebarang kerosakan dari awal dan dapat mengelak dari proses pembaikan yang tinggi kosnya, selain dari memanjangkan hayat kereta anda dengan memastikan ia berjalan dengan lancar.\n\n\nPastikan anda menyimpan rekod penyelenggaraan dan resit kerana ia akan membantu anda menjejaki komponen yang telah diubah dan komponen yang perlu diubah. Ini juga akan membantu membuktikan bahawa kereta anda telah dijaga dengan baik apabila anda mahu menjual kereta anda.\n\n\n\n\nPeriksa Paras Minyak & Cecair\n\n\nKereta anda bergantung kepada beberapa jenis minyak dan cecair seperti minyak enjin, cecair penyejuk, dan minyak brek untuk berfungsi dengan baik. Minyak dan cecair ini perlu diperiksa secara berkala untuk mengawasi sebarang kebocoran yang akan menyebabkan kerosakan pada enjin anda.\n\n\nJika terdapat kebocoran, mengenal pasti warna cecair yang bocor apabila anda melaporkannya kepada pusat servis atau mekanik anda dapat membantu menentukan dari mana ia datang. Ini juga akan membantu mempercepatkan proses pembaikan.\n\n\nBasuh Kereta Selalu\n\n\nIni mungkin kedengaran seperti remeh tetapi menjaga kebersihan kereta anda adalah sangat penting. Bahagian luar kereta sentiasa terdedah kepada panas matahari, hujan lebat, angin berdebu, dan juga najis burung.\n\n\nElemen-elemen ini akan mengakibatkan kerosakan kepada badan dan cat kereta anda dan ia akan mengurangkan nilai jualan kereta anda secara drastik jika tidak ditangani. Mencuci kereta anda secara berjadual dapat membantu mengurangkan hakisan pada badan kereta dan juga mengekalkan warna cat kereta anda.\n\n\nUntuk perlindungan yang lebih baik, hantar kereta anda untuk servis perincian di mana lapisan lilin akan disapu dan kereta akan dikilatkan secara profesional. Sekiranya ia kerap dilakukan, ia akan menjadi satu pelaburan yang berbaloi semasa anda menjual kereta anda di masa hadapan.\n\n\n\n\nJaga Tayar\n\n\nMemandangkan tayar adalah komponen utama yang menghubungkan kereta anda dengan jalan raya, penting bagi anda untuk memeriksanya dengan kerap. Tekanan tayar kereta anda harus diperiksa secara berkala agar ia sentiasa berada di tahap yang disyorkan oleh pengedar kereta anda.\n\n\nAnda juga boleh menjaga tayar kereta anda dengan menyilang tayar kereta anda agar jangka hayatnya lebih panjang. Ini penting kerana tayar kereta akan haus pada tahap yang berbeza bergantung kepada jenis kereta, kelajuan, serta jalan yang digunakan. \nMemandu dengan tayar yang sudah haus dan kurang tekanan angin adalah sangat berbahaya dan anda berisiko untuk terlibat dalam kemalangan.\n\n\nPastikan Lampu Kereta Berfungsi\n\n\nSetelah beberapa tahun kereta dipandu, anda mungkin perasan bahawa lampu kereta anda sudah mulai malap, kusam, atau mungkin sudah tidak berfungsi dengan betul. Lampu yang berfungsi dengan baik adalah penting untuk memastikan keselamatan anda di jalan raya kerana ia membolehkan anda dilihat oleh pemandu lain.\n\n\nJika anda perasan terdapat mentol lampu yang telah rosak atau terbakar, maklumkan segera kepada pusat servis atau mekanik anda untuk membaikinya. Tetapi pastikan anda menggunakan mentol yang betul supaya lampu anda tidak menyebabkan silau yang ketara bagi pemandu lain. Bagi lampu yang kusam dan kuning pula, ia boleh digilap agar kelihatan seperti baharu.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nNak Jual Kereta? 17.5 Perkara untuk Naikkan Nilai Kereta Anda\n\n\nSebab untuk Menjaga Kereta Anda\n\n\nNilai Jual Semula Terjaga\n\n\nSemakin banyak anda menggunakan kereta anda, semakin banyak nilainya akan susut.

Peranan yang digalas seorang insan yang bergelar bapa ini bukanlah suatu tanggungjawab dan tugas yang mudah. Tidak dinafikan, ramai dalam kalangan kita mempelajari pengetahuan berkaitan kehidupan daripada seorang insan yang bergelar ayah ini. Malah, tidak keterlaluan jika dikatakan kebanyakan daripada kita turut mempelajari ilmu tentang kereta atau automotif daripada seorang ayah.\n\n\n\n\nApakah Nasihat Terbaik Tentang Kereta yang Anda Pelajari daripada Ayah Anda?\n\n\nSempena hari ayah atau bapa ini, Carsome menyenaraikan 10 nasihat terbaik berkaitan kenderaan yang dipelajari daripada seorang ayah yang boleh dipraktikkan dalam kehidupan seharian anda:\n\n\n1. Lakukan Servis atau Penyelenggaraan Kereta Mengikut Jadual\n\n\nPenyelenggaraan kereta mengikut jadual adalah penting untuk memastikan kenderaan yang dimiliki berada dalam keadaan baik dan selamat. Jika aspek penyelenggaraan diabaikan, kenderaan berpotensi untuk rosak dan dalam kes tertentu, boleh menyebabkan kecederaan atau kemalangan. Aspek penyelenggaraan secara berkala seperti \nmenukar minyak hitam\n, pemeriksaan tayar dan komponen penting lain seperti brek, bateri dan sebagainya penting untuk mengelakkan kos pembaikan yang lebih besar sekiranya diabaikan.\n\n\nAnda disarankan untuk melakukan penyelenggaraan sekurang-kurangnya setiap tiga hingga enam bulan bagi menjamin keselamatan kenderaan dan pengguna lain terutamanya semasa berada di jalan raya.\n\n\n2. Sentiasa Basuh, Cuci dan Kemas Kereta Anda\n\n\nPembersihan, \npolish\n dan \nwax\n kereta\n \nserta\n aspek penjagaan bahagian luaran kereta penting dan perlu dijadikan rutin penyelenggaraan yang tidak boleh diabaikan. Anda disarankan untuk memberi perhatian yang khusus terutamanya pada bahagian badan dan luaran kenderaan\u2014 basuh atau \nwax\n kereta sekurang-kurangnya seminggu sekali untuk memastikan kereta berada dalam keadaan baik. Bahagian luaran kereta yang calar, berkarat atau kemik boleh mempengaruhi nilai jualan semula kereta anda. Meskipun karat, calar atau kemik pada bahagian luar kereta tidak mempengaruhi prestasi enjin, ia boleh mempengaruhi nilai estetika sesebuah kereta sekali gus menjadikannya kurang menarik.\n\n\nMalah jika dibiarkan, kesan calar ini boleh menjadi lebih teruk dan meningkatkan kos pembaikan dan penyelenggaraan yang perlu ditanggung sekiranya dibiarkan.\n\n\n\u201cAyah saya menasihati saya supaya mematikan enjin kereta jika kereta tidak bergerak. Jika enjin dibiarkan hidup semasa kereta tidak bergerak, ia meningkatkan penggunaan bahan api dan memudaratkan alam sekitar\u201d\u2013 Danny Chin, Carsome Chief Expansion Officer.\n\n\n3. Selenggara Enjin Kereta Secara Berkala\n\n\nEnjin kereta juga turut memainkan peranan penting dalam memastikan keselamatan anda semasa memandu. Justeru itu, penyelenggaraan enjin kereta tidak boleh dipandang remeh bagi memastikan kereta anda berada dalam keadaan baik. Pastikan enjin kereta diperiksa dan diselenggara secara berkala. Jika anda \nmemiliki beberapa buah kereta dan ia jarang digunakan\n dalam tempoh masa yang lama, anda disarankan untuk memanaskan enjin kereta sekurang-kurangnya sekali seminggu selama 10 hingga 20 minit bagi memastikan komponen enjin terjaga dan berfungsi dengan baik.\n\n\n4. Pastikan Tayar Kereta dalam Keadaan Baik\n\n\nSelain enjin kereta, tayar kereta juga merupakan komponen penting bagi sesebuah kenderaan. Tayar kereta yang tidak berada dalam keadaan baik atau diperiksa secara berkala boleh mengakibatkan kemalangan yang bukan sahaja boleh mengancam nyawa pemandu, malah penumpang dan pengguna jalan raya yang lain. Oleh itu, pastikan bunga tayar kereta tidak haus atau botak, tekanan tayar berada dalam keadaan baik dan \nalignment\n atau \nbalancing\n kereta berada dalam keadaan sempurna untuk mengelakkan masalah-masalah lain sepanjang pemanduan.\n\n\n5. Bersihkan Bahagian Dalaman Kereta untuk Pemanduan yang Lebih Selesa\n\n\nPenjagaan bahagian dalaman kereta perlu diberi perhatian yang khusu untuk memberi keselesaan sepanjang pemanduan. Lakukan pembersihan sekurang-kurangnya seminggu sekali untuk mengelakkan bahagian dalaman terdedah kepada kotoran dan kuman. Malah, bahagian dalaman yang bersih boleh mengelakkan kehadiran serangga perosak seperti semut atau lipas. Beri tumpuan kepada bahagian yang sering disentuh seperti kusyen, \ndoor trim\n, signal, skrin sentuh, tali pinggang keledar dan lain-lain. Anda disarankan untuk menggunakan kain lembut atau mikrofiber untuk mengelakkan permukaan ini daripada rosak.\n\n\n6. Pilih Alat Ganti yang Tulen dan Selamat\n\n\nPenggunaan alat ganti yang tulen sangat penting dalam menjamin keselamatan dan prestasi kereta berada pada tahap yang optimum. Meskipun alat ganti tulen dijual pada harga yang lebih mahal berbanding alat ganti tiruan, ia setidak-tidaknya memberi anda keyakinan bahawa alat ganti yang dibeli adalah berkualiti, tahan lama dan selamat. Malah, penggunaan alat ganti tulen juga biasanya tahan lebih lama berbanding alat ganti tiruan.\n\n\n7. Beri Tumpuan pada Brek dan Pad Brek\n\n\nPad brek berfungsi untuk mengawal, memperlahankan dan memberhentikan kenderaan semasa berada di atas jalan raya. Pad brek yang berada dalam keadaan baik mampu menyelamatkan nyawa pemandu dan penumpang selain mengelakkan kejadian yang tidak diingini seperti kemalangan atau perlanggaran dengan kenderaan lain. Secara umumnya, jangka masa untuk sesebuah pad brek bertahan bergantung pada cara dan jarak pemanduan. Namun secara purata, pad brek boleh bertahan sehingga 80,000 kilometer. Kebiasaannya, tanda-tanda seperti bunyi yang kuat terhasil semasa membrek, kenderaan mengambil masa lebih lama untuk berhenti sepenuhnya merupakan antara tanda-tanda pad brek telah haus dan perlu ditukar dan digantikan dengan segera.\n\n\n8. Lampu Amaran Kereta Bukan Sekadar Hiasan\n\n\nLampu amaran yang menyala di dalam kereta bukan sekadar peringatan biasa. Ia menandakan kereta yang anda naiki sedang mengalami masalah tertentu yang memerlukan pemerhatian segera. Secara amnya, setiap lampu amaran memainkan fungsi yang tersendiri yang secara tidak langsung \u2018berkomunikasi\u2019 dengan pemilik mengenai masalah yang sedang dihadapi.\u00a0Oleh itu, biasakan diri anda dengan simbol lampu amaran kereta dan fungsinya. Kebiasaannya, lampu amaran akan menyala sekiranya terdapat masalah pada bahagian enjin, bateri, minyak kereta dan sebagainya.\n\n\n\u201cAda masanya kami tidak menghidupkan penyaman udara semasa dalam perjalanan jauh ke kampung halaman pada waktu malam. Kami akan mengeluarkan kepala ke luar tingkap sambil menikmati udara malam. Ayah saya menggunakan alasan ini untuk tidak menghidupkan penyaman udara untuk menjimatkan penggunaan bahan api\u201d \u2014 Derek Tan, Carsome Chief Brand Officer.\n\n\n9. Maksimumkan Penjimatan Bahan Api\n\n\nCara paling mudah dan terbaik untuk memaksimumkan penjimatan bahan api adalah dengan mengubah tabiat pemanduan. Untuk menjimatkan dan meningkatkan kecekapan penggunaan petrol, anda disarankan untuk memandu pada kelajuan sederhana dan tidak memecut laju. Elakkan daripada memandu dalam kelajuan tinggi dan menekan brek secara mendadak. Perbuatan sebegini boleh mengurangkan kecekapan bahan api kereta anda. Selain itu, anda juga boleh merancang untuk memulakan perjalanan pada waktu malam. Cuaca malam yang sejuk boleh mengurangkan penggunaan penyaman udara sekali gus menjimatkan penggunaan petrol anda.\n\n\nMalah, anda juga boleh menikmati udara malam yang segar sepanjang pemanduan. \nNamun begitu, pastikan anda mendapat rehat yang mencukupi sebelum memulakan perjalanan.\u00a0\n\n\n10. Beli Kereta Terpakai\n\n\nKereta terpakai merupakan alternatif pemilikan kenderaan yang baik yang boleh dipertimbangkan. Selain kos pemilikan yang lebih murah, pembelian kereta terpakai juga membolehkan anda terikat dengan tempoh hutang yang lebih pendek berbanding memiliki kereta baharu. Selain itu,\n kadar susut nilai kereta terpakai\n \njuga dikatakan lebih perlahan berbanding kereta baharu\n. Secara amnya, kereta baharu susut nilai dengan lebih cepat dalam tempoh lima tahun pertama milikan dan boleh mencecah sehingga 50 peratus setelah memasuki tahun kelima dan ke atas.\n\n\nTidak kiralah apa jua panggilan\u2014ayah, bapa, \ndaddy\n, \npapa\n atau abah, jasa dan pengorbanan seorang ayah tidak ternilai dan tiada gantinya. Apa jua yang anda pelajari daripada seorang insan yang bergelar ayah tidak kiralah ilmu pertukangan asas, pembaikan dan penyelenggaraan, ia memberi suatu pengalaman dan pengajaran dalam hidup yang menjadikan diri anda hari ini. \nSegala pengorbanan, kasih sayang dan penat lelah tidak mungkin dapat dibalas dengan wang ringgit.

Salah satu daripadanya adalah memastikan kereta anda diservis terlebih dahulu.\n\n\nDi sini kami senaraikan enam tips yang boleh membantu anda semasa menghantar kereta untuk diservis sebelum anda memulakan \nroad trip\n pada musim cuti ini!\n\n\n1. Tukar Minyak Enjin & Penapis Minyak\n\n\nSebelum memulakan perjalanan, pastikan anda periksa minyak enjin kereta anda ditambah atau ditukar terlebih dahulu. Kalau tarikh tukar minyak enjin dah dekat \u2013 boleh semak pelekat yang ada di bahagian atas cermin hadapan di sebelah pemandu \u2013 terus tukar minyak enjin dan penapis minyak yang baru.\n\n\nMinyak enjin dan penapis minyak penting untuk memastikan kebersihan enjin anda, memastikan suhu enjin berada pada tahap optimum, dan melincirkan pergerakan enjin. Jika minyak enjin dan penapis kereta anda sudah lama dan kotor, ia boleh menyebabkan aliran minyak tersumbat dan akan memberi tekanan kepada enjin sehingga boleh menyebabkan kerosakan, lagi-lagi jika anda memandu pada jarak jauh.\n\n\n\n\n@carsomemy\n Hari ni pakar kami nak tunjuk cara-cara check minyak enjin yg paling senang untuk korang.

Cabut batang celup dan bersihkannya menggunakan kain bersih atau tisu, dan masukkannya kembali. Selepas 10 saat, keluarkan batang celup dan perhatikan keadaan dan paras minyak pada batang celup. Paras minyak enjin perlu berada di antara dua tanda pada bahagian hujung batang celup dan keadaan minyak enjin pula mestilah lutsinar dan berwarna sedikit kuning atau kehijauan.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nMinyak Hitam Kereta: Jenis Minyak Hitam Kereta Terbaik, Harga Tukar Minyak Hitam Kereta\n\n\n2. Tambah Cecair Penting Dalam Enjin\n\n\nEnjin kereta memerlukan pelbagai jenis cecair untuk memastikan ia dapat berfungsi dengan lancar dan baik. Jika ada antara cecair penting ini tidak mencukupi ia secara tidak langsung akan mengurangkan prestasi kereta anda dan mungkin boleh mengakibatkan kerosakan dan juga kemalangan.\n\n\nSelain daripada minyak enjin, berikut adalah antara cecair penting yang perlu anda periksa dan tambah dalam enjin anda:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCecair penyejuk \u2013 \nRamai yang memilih untuk menggunakan air paip sebagai ganti cecair penyejuk tetapi ini merupakan pilihan yang tidak baik untuk jangka masa panjang. Gunakan cecair penyejuk yang sesuai kerana ia boleh mengelakkan radiator anda daripada berkarat dan takat didihnya juga lebih tinggi berbanding air paip. Untuk menambah cecair penyejuk, anda cuma perlu cari penutup besi berbentuk bulat di bahagian hadapan enjin anda. Jangan buka penutup ini ketika enjin dalam keadaan panas!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMinyak brek \u2013 \nUntuk memastikan brek anda boleh berfungsi dengan baik dan lancar, minyak brek perlu ditambah jika perlu. Pastikan anda menggunakan minyak brek yang disarankan untuk kereta anda. Posisi bekas cecair brek mungkin berbeza untuk setiap kereta tetapi ia biasanya mempunyai penutup yang dilabel dengan tulisan DOT 3 atau DOT 4 yang merupakan jenis minyak brek yang sesuai untuk kereta anda.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCecair stereng kuasa \u2013 \nCecair ini penting untuk memastikan pengendalian kereta anda lancar. Jika ia tidak ditambah atau tidak ditukar apabila sudah terlalu kotor, stereng kereta anda akan jadi berat dan tidak responsif, dan kereta anda akan menghasilkan bunyi bising dan nyaring semasa membuat putaran. Selalunya ia berada di dalam bekas yang dilabel sebagai \npower steering fluid\n di bahagian enjin anda.\n\n\n\n\nSekiranya anda tidak pasti jenis dan tahap cecair yang diperlukan untuk kereta anda, sila rujuk buku manual pemilik untuk dapatkan maklumat yang tepat.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nJangan Ambil Mudah!

Periksa Keadaan Tayar Kereta\n\n\nTayar yang botak dan kekurangan angin akan mengakibatkan pemanduan yang kurang selesa, lebih-lebih lagi kalau anda memandu pada jarak jauh. Walaupun begitu, masih ramai pemilik kereta yang memandang ringan aspek penjagaan tayar kereta mereka.\n\n\n\n\nSangat penting untuk anda periksa tekanan angin tayar dan juga tahap ketebalan bunga tayar sebelum memulakan perjalanan kerana sebarang kerosakan pada tayar kereta boleh menjejaskan prestasi, kawalan, serta pengendalian kereta.\n\n\nBagi tekanan angin, pastikan tayar kereta anda dipam mengikut tekanan yang dicadangkan untuk kereta anda. Anda boleh lihat label cadangan tekanan angin pada bahagian rangka pintu bersebelahan dengan tempat duduk pemandu. Manakala untuk bunga tayar pula, anda cuma perlu cari \ntread wear indicator\n (TWI) yang boleh dijumpai di kawasan tayar dengan tanda segi tiga (\u25b2). Jika jalur tayar sama tinggi dengan penanda, itu bermakna tayar anda sudah botak dan perlu diganti.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nCara Penjagaan, Tip Beli Tayar Kereta yang Terbaik dan Selamat di Malaysia\n\n\n4. Pastikan Brek Berfungsi Dengan Baik\n\n\nNak pergi \nroad trip\n, wajib periksa brek kereta anda dahulu! Brek penting untuk memastikan kereta anda boleh diperlahankan dan boleh berhenti dengan selamat. Ia terdiri daripada beberapa komponen yang akan haus dan boleh rosak, jadi memang sangat penting untuk memastikan yang ia berada dalam keadaan baik untuk menjamin keselamatan anda dan juga keselamatan pengguna jalan raya yang lain.\n\n\n\n\nJika brek anda memerlukan masa yang lebih lama daripada biasa untuk memberhentikan kereta anda, mengeluarkan bunyi yang kuat dan nyaring, atau stereng anda bergegar apabila anda menekan brek, ini bermakna brek anda sudah perlu ditukar serta merta.\n\n\nSegera pergi ke bengkel kereta atau \npusat servis yang anda percayai\n jika anda mengalami tanda-tanda di atas untuk membaiki brek anda sebelum anda mulakan perjalanan.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nBrek Kereta Tak Makan? 9 Tanda Brek Kereta Rosak atau Bermasalah yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\n5. Tukar Bateri Kereta Jika Perlu\n\n\nBateri kereta biasanya boleh bertahan dalam tempoh 12 hingga 18 bulan. Jika bateri kereta anda sudah digunakan melebihi setahun, periksa sama ada ia masih lagi berada dalam keadaan baik sebelum mulakan perjalanan.\n\n\n\n\nAda beberapa tanda-tanda yang menunjukkan jika bateri kereta anda sudah lemah. Salah satunya adalah jika enjin kereta anda mengambil masa yang lama untuk hidup selepas kunci dipulas atau butang \npush-start\n ditekan. Selain itu, jika anda ada mendengar bunyi \u2018tik tik tik\u2019 apabila anda cuba menghidupkan kereta, itu menandakan yang bateri kereta anda sudah perlu ditukar.\n\n\nSebagai langkah berjaga-jaga, sediakan kabel jumper bateri kereta jika anda merancang perjalanan jauh agar anda boleh menggunakannya untuk mengecas semula bateri kereta jika berlaku kecemasan.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nTanda Bateri Kereta Kong, Tip Penjagaan Bateri Kereta Anda Perlu Tahu\n\n\n6. Pastikan Semua Lampu Menyala\n\n\nJangan lupa juga untuk pastikan semua lampu kereta termasuk lampu hadapan, lampu isyarat, dan lampu brek berada dalam keadaan baik. Lampu kereta yang berada dalam keadaan baik dan terang akan membantu anda melihat keadaan jalan dengan jelas selain memudahkan pemandu lain melihat kereta anda, terutamanya pada waktu malam ataupun dalam hujan.\n\n\n\n\nUntuk semak jika semua lampu anda menyala, hidupkan kereta dan dapatkan bantuan ahli keluarga atau rakan untuk menghidupkan lampu-lampu berkenaan atau menekan brek dari dalam kereta. Anda pula perlu mengelilingi kereta anda dari luar untuk melihat sama ada terdapat kerosakan pada lampu kereta anda.\n\n\nSelain itu, anda juga disarankan untuk menyediakan mentol lampu ganti sebagai langkah berjaga-jaga sekiranya mentol \nlampu kereta\n anda terbakar atau mati secara tiba-tiba semasa dalam perjalanan.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan:\n \nKereta Rosak Tepi Jalan?

Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk menghantar kereta anda untuk diservis dan diselenggara terlebih dahulu sebelum memulakan perjalanan.\n\n\nDengan cara ini, anda dapat mengelak daripada sebarang kejadian yang tidak diingini dan dapat memastikan keselesaan keluarga anda di sepanjang\n road trip\n anda. Tambahan pula, jika kereta anda diservis, anda boleh mengelakkan kerosakan yang lebih serius, sekaligus dapat menjimatkan wang anda.\n\n\nServis Kereta Anda di Pusat Servis CARSOME untuk Jaminan Kualiti & Ketelusan\n\n\nKalau anda tak pasti nak servis kereta anda di mana, apa kata anda hantar kereta untuk diservis di \nPusat Servis CARSOME\n yang baru sahaja dibuka di Ampang?

But you know what\u2019s worse than walking out of your house and seeing a flat on your car? Experiencing one while you\u2019re driving. Yes, tire blowouts are few and far between but if it ever happens, the consequences can be dire if you don\u2019t manage to reign in the car.\n\n\nWhile your driving school curriculum does cover the topic of \nchanging a flat tire\n, it doesn\u2019t shed any light whatsoever on the importance of advanced driver training that imparts knowledge on handling dangerous situations such as a tire blowout while driving.\n\n\n\n\nGranted, advanced driver training does extend beyond the basics of operating a vehicle which is\u00a0 what a driving school teaches. However, in the name of safety and better drivers, there should be some fundamentals on the topic taught.\n\n\nBenjamin Franklin said it best, \u201cBy failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.\u201d\n\n\nWith that in mind, it\u2019s best to always be prepared or at least have a rough of how to maintain control or avoid other vehicles in case of a tire blowout. Though it might be impossible to avoid any contact whatsoever, damage limitation is better than a total loss.\n\n\nWhat Causes a Tire Blowout?\n\n\nFirstly, let\u2019s understand what the factors are behind a tire blowout. The primary reason (75 percent of cases) is underinflating the tire.\n\n\n\n\nIf the tire is underinflated, the sidewalls will bulge out under the weight of the vehicle. At highway speeds; which is when blowouts are likely to happen, the constant bouncing of the sidewalls will create high levels of heat within the rubber. Eventually, this leads to the sidewalls weakening and bursting.\n\n\nAnother cause of tire blowouts is overloading. An overloaded vehicle exceeds the tire\u2019s weight capacity, causing the sidewalls to fail as friction from the road adds additional heat into the carcass as well.\n\n\nEven potholes can cause a tire blowout. If you\u2019re unfortunate enough to hit one at speed, the savage force from the impact can immediately rupture the tire and cause a blowout. If you do manage to spot a pothole ahead, try to maneuver around it or if you can\u2019t, slow down before the point of impact, to reduce the potential for damage.\n\n\n\n\nRead More:\n \nTires: Fastest & Easiest Way to Tell a Quality Used Car from a Lousy One\n\n\nWhat Happens during a Tire Blowout?\n\n\nYou\u2019re happily driving on the highway, trying your utmost best to keep under the 110 kph speed limit because you\u2019re a responsible motorist when suddenly you hear a loud pop and within a split second, your car is now sliding sideways on the road.\n\n\nIn most cases, and understandably so, panic sets in and you\u2019ll probably freeze or hit the brakes as hard as possible. Either way, the car will likely spin out of control and impact other vehicles or the siderails before coming to a halt.\n\n\n\n\nWhat Can You Do during a Tire Blowout?\n\n\nNow we get to the meat and potatoes of the matter. First things first; and yes we know it\u2019s easier said than done, don\u2019t panic. It can be extremely horrifying to suffer a tire blowout as it comes out of nowhere and suddenly, you\u2019re out of control at high speeds.\n\n\nHere\u2019s another disclaimer as well; there\u2019s no method of regaining absolute control back. You\u2019re definitely going to lose some control.\n\n\nHowever, you can try to regain some level of control by easing off the throttle and quickly taking note of your immediate surroundings. Remember what your instructor taught you at driving school? Always look where you want to go.\n\n\nIf straight ahead appears to be the safest option, keep your eyes planted towards that point and your inputs will automatically try to steer the car in that direction. It\u2019s a reflex and instinct for your hands and feet to try and adjust the steering as well as the pedals to try and steer where the eyes are pointed.\n\n\nAlways be easy with the brakes. Stomping on them as hard as you can will cause a weight-shift in an already out of control vehicle and possibly make the situation worse.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re able to regain control and stop the car without hitting anything, check your surroundings to determine if there\u2019s any oncoming traffic. Unfortunately, if it appears that an oncoming car isn\u2019t able to avoid you, brace for impact.\n\n\nAfter coming to a complete stop, try to assess if it\u2019s possible to slowly crawl the car to the emergency lane or at the very least, get out of the way of oncoming vehicles.\n\n\nRead More:\n \n\u00a0\n9 Tips to Drive Safely Through Flooded Roads\n\n\nWhat to Do Next? Tips to Drive Safely Through Flooded Roads\n\n\nOnce at the emergency lane, carefully exit the vehicle and try to assess the damage.\n\n\nDepending on the battering your car took, it might be feasible to slowly crawl to the nearest rest stop or petrol station to fit the spare tire or call a tow truck if your car only comes with a reinflation kit because a blown out tire isn\u2019t going to be fixed with the kit; you\u2019ll need a new one.\n\n\nIs there the potential of damaging the rim by crawling with a disintegrated tire? Yes, absolutely. But it\u2019s safer to pull over at a brightly lit area than staying on the emergency lane with fast traffic hurtling away right beside you.\n\n\nRead More: \nInvolved In a Car Accident? Here\u2019s What You Need To Do!\n\n\n\n\nWhat If the Car Sustained Heavy Damage & Can\u2019t Move?\n\n\nIn this case, hit the hazard lights and exit the vehicle to wait further away from the moving traffic. If your vehicle has an emergency safety triangle, place it on the road at 100 meters or so behind your car to alert oncoming traffic.\n\n\nThe next thing to do would be to call the emergency hotline if you\u2019re on a highway or your insurance provider to send over a tow truck. Do remember not to sit in your car waiting in the event oncoming traffic knocks into it.\n\n\nWhat Happens If I\u2019m Stranded Somewhere Remote or with No Phone Signal?\n\n\nThis is an absolute worse-case scenario but again, best to be prepared. If your car is still able to drive, it\u2019s time to perform a wheel change that would give Formula 1 pit crews a run for their money.\n\n\nIf it\u2019s dark, turn on all the lights on your car to allow r other motorists to notice you easier. If there\u2019s someone with you, one can get to the wheel and the other can act as a traffic marshall by waving your phone\u2019s light as a warning to oncoming traffic.\n\n\nMore importantly however, you need to be ready to jump out of the way of any vehicle that might be headed right for your vehicle if they fail to notice the warnings.\n\n\nOnce you\u2019re done, get out of there as quickly as possible and to somewhere well lit or away from the road to better assess the damage to the vehicle and what to do next.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nUpsizing Your Car\u2019s Tires: Is Bigger Always Better?\n\n\nConclusion\n\n\nIt\u2019s near impossible to always be prepared for such a tire blowout but one of the best methods to do so would be attending an advanced driver training course. The instructors will be able to teach you the best methods and precisely what your hands, feet and eyes should be working on in the event it happens on the road.\n\n\nIn fact, an advanced \ndefensive driving\n course isn\u2019t just good to learn what to do during a tire blowout, it\u2019ll make you a better and safer driver overall.

Sebenarnya, apa yang tersembunyi daripada penglihatan anda itu lebih penting sebab kalau anda terlepas pandang, bencana kemalangan menanti anda.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nTerlibat dalam Kemalangan? Ini Perkara yang Anda Perlu Lakukan!\n\n\nApa Itu Titik Buta?\u00a0\n\n\nAnda mungkin pernah dengar pasal ini, mungkin di sekolah memandu. Cikgu memandu anda akan ingatkan anda tentangnya sambil ajar anda untuk laraskan cermin sisi dan cermin pandang belakang.\u00a0\n\n\nDisebabkan itu, ada sebab mengapa cikgu memandu anda selalu mengingatkan untuk pandang sekilas di sisi bahu untuk periksa sekeliling anda dan tidak hanya bergantung semata-mata hanya kepada cermin sisi kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nJadi, apa sebenarnya titik buta ini?\u00a0\n\n\nSekali imbas pun kita dah boleh tahu, titik buta merupakan persekitaran kereta yang tidak dapat dilihat melalui cermin sisi atau cermin pandang belakang. Mana-mana kereta mempunyai titik buta ini, walaupun si kecil Perodua Axia.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAntara sebab mengapa titik buta ini sangat berbahaya adalah kerana kawasan yang tidak dapat dilihat sebenarnya cukup besar dan menyebabkan anda tak nampak kereta lain semasa memandu.\u00a0\n\n\nJom kita tengok contoh yang lebih mudah untuk memahami risiko kalau tak periksa titik buta kereta anda semasa memandu.\u00a0\n\n\nKatakanlah anda memandu di belakang kereta yang bergerak perlahan dan anda pula cepat. Anda lihat sekilas pada cermin sisi kanan dan jalan memang kosong. Anda pasang lampu isyarat untuk tukar haluan ke kanan.\u00a0\n\n\nKereta anda baru nak pusing masuk ke laluan kanan, tiba-tiba anda dengar bunyi hon daripada belakang anda.\u00a0\n\n\nRupanya bunyi hon tadi datang daripada kereta di laluan kanan yang terpaksa membrek untuk mengelakkan berlanggar dengan kereta anda..\u00a0\n\n\nAnda pusing balik stereng, betulkan kedudukan kereta, dan kekal di laluan anda sebelum melambai sebagai tanda meminta maaf kepada kereta tadi. Anda sugul memikirkan dari mana kereta itu muncul?\u00a0\n\n\nKereta itu tak muncul secara tiba-tiba, ia berada dalam kawasan titik buta yang anda tak perasan semasa anda padang sekilas pada cermin sisi sebelum ini.\u00a0\n\n\nDi Mana Letaknya Titik Buta Kereta?\u00a0\n\n\nKebanyakan kereta ada sekurang-kurang dua titik buta. Ia merupakan kawasan di belakang cermin sisi dan di sebelah pintu depan dan pintu belakang kereta.\u00a0\n\n\nTambahan lagi, rekaan kenderaan juga boleh mencipta titik buta bergantung kepada kedudukan dan juga ketebalan tiang kereta. Lagipun, kalau reka bentuk ditentukan oleh fungsi kereta, rupa kereta tersebut akan jadi agak tak menarik.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nCara Menjaga Kereta Anda dan Mengapa Ia Perlu Dijaga\n\n\nDalam kebanyakan kereta, yang menjadi puncanya ialah tiang-A. Tiang-A merupakan tiang di antara sisi cermin hadapan dan juga sebelah atas pintu hadapan yang melengkung hingga ke bumbung kereta. Bergantung kepada rekaan, tiang ini boleh menyebabkan titik buta pada bahagian bampar sisi yang menghalang anda melihat kereta yang mendekati atau pejalan kaki jika anda keluar daripada simpang.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau untuk SUV yang bersaiz besar, tiang-C dan tiang-D (biasanya pada SUV yang ada baris ketiga) adalah lebih luas dan boleh menyebabkan dua titik buta utama sama seperti di atas. Ini belum cerita tentang van panel lagi yang kawasan penglihatannya sangat jauh daripada cermin pandang belakang.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBila Nak Kena Periksa Titik Buta?\u00a0\n\n\nKetika cikgu memandu ajar anda tentang titik buta, dia mesti dah latih anda untuk sentiasa periksa titik buta setiap kali nak tukar laluan atau ketika nak membelok.\u00a0\n\n\nSebagai contoh, sebelum nak tukar laluan anda sepatutnya pandang sekilas cermin sisi dan cermin pandang belakang tapi cikgu anda turut dah ajar untuk pandang sekilas juga ke sisi bahu ke arah jalan yang anda nak tuju. Langkah ini boleh membantu anda mengesan kereta lain, motosikal, dan juga pejalan kaki bergantung kepada keadaan.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nJangan Teruskan Pemanduan Jika 3 Lampu Amaran Kereta Ini Menyala!\n\n\nAda Tak Cara Nak Hilangkan atau Kurangkan Titik Buta?\u00a0\n\n\nKita sebagai manusia biasa tidak dilahirkan dengan mata di belakang kepala tapi ada caranya untuk kita mengurangkan jurang titik buta ini.\u00a0\n\n\nAda beberapa cara untuk membetulkan cermin sisi untuk mengurangkan atau hilangkan sepenuhnya titik buta ini. Anda boleh ikut cara ini: \n\n\n1. Mulakan dengan cermin pandang belakang. Jangan amalkan benda lain selain daripada ini. Sama seperti namanya, cermin ini hanyalah untuk membantu anda melihat bahagian belakang kereta. Apabila anda dah duduk dengan selesa, gerakkan cermin tersebut sehingga anda nampak jelas cermin belakang. Jangan sengetkan ke arah sisi untuk anda melihat trafik di sebelah kiri atau kanan kereta anda. Itu fungsi cermin sisi. \n\n\n2. Sekarang, rapatkan kepala anda hingga menyentuh cermin tingkap bahagian pemandu. Kemudian laraskan cermin sisi bahagian tersebut sehingga anda hampir tak nampak bahagian sisi kenderaan anda, itu saja. Jangan laraskan hingga anda tak nampak langsung sisi kereta anda.\n\n\n\n\n3. Ulang proses yang sama dengan sebelah penumpang dengan merapatkan kepala anda ke bahagian tengah kereta dan laraskan cermin sebelah lagi satu sehingga anda nampak sedikit saja bahagian sisi kiri kereta anda. Apabila anda dah selesai dan betulkan kembali kepala anda, anda sepatutnya tak boleh nampak bahagian sisi kereta anda. Jangan takut! Ini memang disengajakan untuk membolehkan anda melihat dengan lebih luas. \n\n\n4. Cermin sisi anda sekarang berada dalam keadaan paling optimal untuk mengurangkan atau hampir menghilangkan terus dua titik buta utama di setiap sisi. Langkah terakhir adalah untuk memastikan keberkesanan pelarasan yang dah dibuat dengan mengikuti langkah ini:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSemasa anda memandu di lebuh raya, kekal di laluan paling kanan dan periksa untuk sebarang kenderaan yang menghampiri untuk melepasi anda.\u00a0\n\n\nTanpa sengetkan kepala anda ke mana-mana sisi, pandang sekilas pada cermin pandang belakang dan perhatikan kereta tersebut mendekati kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\nSemasa ia menghilang daripada cermin pandang belakang, pandang kembali cermin sisi kiri dan sepatutnya anda dah boleh nampak kereta tersebut dengan jelas.\u00a0\n\n\nAkhir sekali, semasa ia menghilang daripada cermin pandang belakang, ia sepatutnya muncul pada pandangan sisi anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHasilnya anda dah berjaya menghapuskan titik buta pada bahagian sisi anda kerana anda dah boleh melihat kenderaan lain tanpa perlu menoleh. Buat perkara yang sama dengan sisi yang lain dan buat pelarasan sedikit jika anda perasan ada titik buta walaupun sedikit.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBuat Perkara Ini Untuk Kurangkan Titik Buta\u00a0\n\n\nLebih banyak kereta moden yang dilengkapi dengan BLIS (BLind Spot Information System) \u2013 pertama kali diperkenalkan oleh Volvo.\n\n\n\n\nSistem ini menggunakan kamera atau pengesan yang terletak di bawah bekas cermin sisi untuk mengesan kenderaan dalam kawasan titik buta dan memberi amaran kepada pemandu dengan mengaktifkan lampu amaran pada penghujung cermin sisi atau di dalam kereta berhampiran cermin sisi.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau diberikan pilihan, ada banyak penyelesaian yang dijual di luar sana, seperti menggunakan cermin cembung yang boleh dipasangkan pada penjuru cermin sisi kereta anda. Cermin cembung ini boleh memberikan penglihatan yang lebih luas yang merangkumi titik buta.\u00a0\n\n\nKesimpulannya\n\n\nUntuk menjadi pemandu selamat, kesedaran terhadap persekitaran perlu berada pada tahap tertinggi dan antara perkara penting yang perlu diberikan perhatian adalah sentiasa peka dengan kenderaan dan ruang sekeliling kenderaan anda semasa memandu.\u00a0\n\n\nMenghilangkan titik buta kenderaan anda akan memberikan penglihatan yang lebih luas semasa memandu andai kata tindakan kecemasan perlu dibuat.\u00a0\n\n\nOleh itu, sangat penting untuk anda memeriksa titik buta semasa anda memandu dan belajar untuk mengurangkan atau menghilangkan titik buta dengan melaraskan cermin-cermin yang ada mengikut kaedah yang dicadangkan.\u00a0\n\n\nIa mungkin langkah yang mudah tetapi ia boleh membantu anda menjadi pemandu selamat di atas jalan.\u00a0\n\n", "Ahmad Azwadie Azman", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

First started in 1983, the exhibition showcases Japan\u2019s finest tuning houses, aftermarket part manufacturers, and what the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) has to offer. As a fellow car enthusiast, yours truly went down for a quick field report of the whole venue. Here are the highlights of the whole event throughout Saturday.\u00a0\n\n\nTop Secret\u2019s Nissan GTR and The Mystery Buyer\n\n\nSource: tokyoautosalonkl.com\n\n\nClassic car enthusiasts of yore will be familiar with the name Top Secret and its founder, Kazuhiko \u201cSmokey\u201d\u00a0 Nagata. This tuning company from Japan has made the craziest street cars the world has ever seen. The company has a huge following in the car community in motorsports and produces performance aftermarket parts.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAfter their first stint with the Toyota Century-sourced V12 engine in a Toyota Supra back in 1999, the tuning house has moved on to building demo cars on the Nissan Skyline and GTR platforms. This particular Nissan GTR present at Tokyo Auto Salon Malaysia has been gold, a feature only given to a car if Smokey dubs it his magnum opus. Rumor has it that the car has been bought by a mystery individual during the show. \nSpeaking of Smokey Nagata, he has been spotted offering autographs while walking around the exhibit but I failed to find and meet him in person. \n\n\nUnfortunately, throughout the event, I could not locate where the golden Nissan GTR is nested in the exhibition. Perhaps it has been moved backstage after the deal was made with the mystery buyer. \n\n\nGReady Stanced Rocket Bunny 400z and GR Yaris\n\n\nBefore the newest production of the Fairlady 400z has reached Malaysian shores, GReady has showcased the potential modifications future owners can do with the sultry roadster. Equipped with a Rocket Bunny widebody kit, the end result is reminiscent of the iconic Nissan Fairlady 240z featured in the Wangan Midnight franchise dubbed the \u201cDevil Z\u201d.\u00a0\n\n\nNo spirits of deceased street racers have been spotted possessing this car yet.\u00a0\n\n\nJust like Top Secret, GReady is another infamous tuning house hailing from Japan that makes aftermarket parts and widebody kits under the name Pandem/Rocket Bunny. Additionally, a widebody Toyota GR Yaris is also featured in the exhibition, one of the first few of its kind here.\n\n\nLargest Initial-D-Themed Car Gathering In Malaysia\n\n\nWhat is a car meet without your usual Nissan Skylines, Toyota AE86 (Hachiroku), and the eponymous Mazda RX-7? If your interest in cars did not start from Grand Turismo, it\u2019ll be the Initial D franchise. This lineup of replica cars from the beloved anime franchise stole the show throughout Tokyo Auto Salon Malaysia. No tofu was available on sale at the exhibition though.\u00a0\n\n\nProbably the first in Malaysia, the gathering sports a complete lineup of iconic JDM cars. There is a list of characters along with their cars featured in the series if you need a refresher. \n\n\nI\u2019ve been to plenty of car meets around KL and Tokyo Auto Salon Malaysia successfully takes the cake with such a diverse lineup with a grandeur location. I highly recommend visiting again should Tokyo Auto Salon ever organize an event like this in Malaysia next year.\n\n\nDisclaimer: This article is written as a personal opinion and does not represent the views of CARSOME as a whole. \n\n", "Tags\nDriving\nEvents\nLearning Centre\nLifestyle\nTokyo Auto Salon", "Brian Wong", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

In Malaysia, it might not be a much-discussed concept, but it does exist. In fact, Carsome Capital offers a pre-approved car loan, exclusively for the purchase of Carsome Certified cars.\u00a0\n\n\nIn brief, it is a loan that is pre-approved before you even find a car you want to buy \u2013 it gives you an allocated financing limit so you know how much you can afford.\n\n\nConventional Loans Versus Pre-approved Loans\n\n\nBut before we go into the perks of applying for a pre-approved car loan, it\u2019s best you understand how a conventional car loan works versus a pre-approved car loan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nConventional car loan:\n Conventional car loans are the ones that you apply for after you find a car you want. However, there are waiting periods that may differ based on the bank, that will either approve or reject your application.\u00a0 \nFor example, Marie decides to buy a used 2015 Honda at RM65,000. She is unable to pay for this with cash, and decides to apply for a car loan. So, she submits her documents with the sales consultant, who then helps her apply for a car loan (also known as a hire purchase loan) to three different banks. From here, the banks will evaluate her credit health and decide whether to approve or reject her loan application. One of the main reasons banks reject car loan applications could be due to the Debt Service Ratio (DSR). In simple terms, a DSR calculates if you are able to afford the repayment amount by taking into account your finances versus debts.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPre-approved car loan: \nNow, a pre-approved car loan works the other way around. When you get a pre-approved car loan, they will give you a maximum financing amount. \nFor example: Anne has decided that she wants to buy a car, but she doesn\u2019t know what car she wants and hasn\u2019t started shopping around. She decides to apply for a pre-approved loan so that she can shop without worry. She submits her application and gets pre-approved for a RM75,000 loan. Now, Anne can start looking around for a car that is not more than RM75,000. She then decides to buy a 2019 Kia Cerato priced at RM70,000. All she needs to do now is show her pre-approved loan and get the car right away. Of course, the final loan will be valued according to the car price she has chosen.\n\n\n\n\nRead more:\n \nWhat is a Pre-approved Car Loan & How to Apply with Carsome\n\n\nBut is it something you should be looking into? Well, getting your loan pre-approved can be a smart move, especially if you are still shopping around \u2013 this is because you are already pre-approved for a certain amount, so you will know the exact price range you should be shopping in.\u00a0\n\n\nBut there are more advantages than just that so we\u2019ve taken the liberty to list them down for you.\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n1. It Gives You the Opportunity to Plan Your Budget More Wisely\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhen it comes to buying big ticket items \u2013 whether it is a house or a car \u2013 it certainly is not something you do on a whim. Instead, you would probably plan your budget to find out if you are able to fork out the monthly repayment amount, the down payment, and so forth.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nFor example, if you were pre-approved for a financing limit up to RM80,000. Then, you are able to calculate if you can sustain this RM80,000 car loan, which would be about RM1,400 based on an average interest rate of 3.50 percent (you can use our loan calculator \nhere\n).\u00a0\n\n\nHere\u2019s a tip: you can use the 50/30/20 budget rule which is when 50 percent of your income goes to your needs, 30 percent to wants, and 20 percent to savings or paying off debt.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Shop Comfortably Without Worry of Loan Rejection\n\n\nThe conventional method of applying for car loans involves a lot of waiting and that doesn\u2019t even give you confirmation that you will be able to get the car you chose.\n\n\nBanks can reject your application, especially if your debt service ratio (DSR) is high, indicating that you are not able to sustain the monthly repayment. This brings in the advantages of getting a pre-approved car loan because you can already confirm you are able to finance a car and all you have to do is choose one.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Get Your Car Faster\u00a0\n\n\nAs we\u2019ve mentioned above, buying a car with a conventional loan involves a fair bit of waiting and on top of that, you would be unsure if the bank will grant you a loan for the car you have chosen. This means although you have picked out the car you want, and tediously arranged your documents for loan submission, there is still a chance that you won\u2019t be approved for the loan.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nHence, with a pre-approved loan, you would have surpassed that worry of rejection and focus on finding a car that you like.\u00a0 Once you find the car you want, the process is sped up and you can essentially drive your car home in a matter of days.\u00a0\n\n\nSo, How Do You Get a Pre-approved Loan?\n\n\nReasons as such are why Carsome now offers pre-approved loans via Carsome Capital. \nWith this, you can get a Carsome Pre-approval Certificate to purchase a Carsome Certified car, and get your car delivered to you within one* working day.\u00a0\n\n\nHow do you apply?

Inilah sebabnya setiap kereta CARSOME Certified perlu lulus pemeriksaan 175-titik yang ketat untuk memastikan ia bebas daripada kemalangan besar dan \nkerosakan banjir\n.\n\n\n\n\nBerikut ialah empat tonggak pemeriksaan 175-titik yang kami buat untuk memastikan anda akan mendapat kereta pramilik berkualiti apabila anda memilih kereta CARSOME Certified.\n\n\nPemeriksaan Luaran\n\n\nPemeriksaan 175-titik kami bermula dengan pemeriksaan bahagian luar kereta, di mana pemeriksa profesional kami akan memeriksa dengan teliti panel badan, pintu, rim, tayar, dan roda kereta, serta lampu dan cerminnya.\n\n\nSemasa pemeriksaan ini, pemeriksa kami akan memberi perhatian kepada nombor casis atau enjinnya. Dengan mengesahkan bahawa nombor siri kereta itu \ntidak pernah diusik\n, kami boleh memastikan bahawa ia bukan kereta klon dan tidak diisytiharkan sebagai kenderaan kerugian total.\n\n\nSelain itu, satu lagi aspek penting dalam pemeriksaan ini adalah untuk memeriksa integriti casis kereta. Di sini, pemeriksa kami akan meneliti sambungan bahagian kereta untuk menentukan sama ada kereta itu pernah mengalami kemalangan dan bahagian utamanya telah dibaiki atau diubah.\n\n\nPemeriksaan Dalaman\n\n\nSelepas pemeriksaan luaran selesai, pemeriksa kami akan memeriksa bahagian dalam kereta. Pemeriksaan ini melibatkan seluruh bahagian dalam kereta termasuk tali keledar, sistem audio dan penggera, sistem penghawa dingin, permaidani, kunci pintu, dan but.\n\n\n\n\nPemeriksa kami juga akan memerhatikan panel instrumen untuk sebarang tanda amaran yang berkelip atau bercahaya, sambil menguji semua tombol dan butang untuk memastikan semuanya berfungsi dengan baik.\n\n\nSistem penyaman udara juga akan diberi keutamaan semasa pemeriksaan ini. Ia sepatutnya mengedarkan udara sejuk dengan betul, dan jika tidak, pemeriksa kami akan menandakannya supaya ia akan dibaiki di CARSOME Certified Lab.\n\n\nUjian Atas Jalan\n\n\nSelain daripada memeriksa bahagian luar dan dalam kereta, pemeriksa profesional kami juga akan memandu kereta keluar untuk ujian jalan raya yang singkat. Ini adalah bahagian penting dalam pemeriksaan untuk mengetahui sama ada enjin kereta berfungsi dengan baik. Pemeriksa kami akan memperhatikan \nsebarang anomali seperti getaran\n atau bunyi yang berlebihan dan bau luar biasa yang datang dari kereta semasa ia dipandu.\n\n\n\n\nUjian ini juga bertujuan untuk memeriksa stereng kereta. Tindak balas stereng kereta haruslah sempurna, di mana stereng sepatutnya boleh dipusing sepenuhnya ke dua-dua arah tanpa mengeluarkan sebarang bunyi.\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nPanduan Pandu Uji Kereta Yang Patut Anda Tahu\n\n\nPemeriksaan Bahagian Bawah Kereta\n\n\nAkhir sekali, pemeriksa kami akan memeriksa bahagian bawah kereta. Pemeriksaan ini melibatkan sebarang tanda kebocoran bendalir, sistem ekzos, brek, tayar, transmisi dan suspensi.\n\n\n\n\nPemeriksa kami akan menilai setiap komponen semasa pemeriksaan ini untuk memastikan ia mematuhi piawaian CARSOME Certified. Kebanyakan komponen di bahagian bawah kereta terdedah kepada kehausan dan tekanan berat yang berterusan, jadi pemeriksaan ini bertujuan untuk memastikan semua bahagian tersebut boleh berfungsi dengan baik.\n\n\nCARSOME Certified Untuk Ketenangan Minda\n\n\nSelain pemeriksaan yang dinyatakan di atas, setiap kereta CARSOME Certified dilengkapkan jaminan-jaminan berikut:\n\n\n\n\nHarga tetap, tanpa \ncas tersembunyi\n:\n Harga kereta yang anda lihat di laman web dan juga aplikasi mudah alih kami adalah harga sebenar kereta yang perlu anda bayar, tanpa sebarang bayaran tambahan.\n\n\nJaminan wang dikembalikan dalam lima hari\n: Kalau anda ada membeli kereta daripada CARSOME dan kemudian mengubah fikiran, pulangkan sahaja kepada kami dalam masa lima hari untuk dapatkan pulangan wang, tanpa banyak soal.\n\n\nWaranti lanjutan\n: Setiap kereta CARSOME Certified didatangkan dengan waranti lanjutan satu tahun untuk memastikan ketenangan jiwa dengan pembelian anda.\n\n\n\n\nMemandangkan kami telah berkongsi tonggak utama titik pemeriksaan CARSOME, yakinlah bahawa anda akan menikmati kereta pramilik berkualiti yang boleh anda percayai apabila anda membeli kereta CARSOME Certified. \nLayari \ncarsome.my\n atau muat turun aplikasi mudah alih kami di \nGoogle Play Store\n atau \nApple App Store\n dan cari kereta idaman anda sekarang!\n\n\nBaca Lebih Lanjut:\n \nCARSOME Certified: Taraf Baharu Pembelian Kereta Pramilik\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n", "Amarnath", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

There are cars that go fast. Cars that carry more than five and cars that are able to cross difficult terrain amongst other varieties. But how about cars that are able to travel the distance? In a Consumer Reports coverage on \u201910 Best Cars to get to 200,000 Miles and Beyond\u2019, the organisation went through a list of 740,000 vehicles that were represented in their annual subscriber survey, with 10 cars, SUVs, minivans and pickup trucks that were most reported to have more than 200,000 miles (320,000 km).\n\n\nIn the list of 10 vehicles, only one vehicle was American with the rest represented by Japanese brands \nHonda\n and \nToyota\n. Best of all, seven out of the 10 vehicles mentioned are definitely familiar amongst Malaysians. Which are they? The cars listed below are in order based on Consumer Report\u2019s survey of the total number of responses on the vehicles, and also scored well in the organisation\u2019s road tests. Read on to find out!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nHonda Accord\n\n\n\n\nAccording to Consumer Report\u2019s Reliability survey, the 2016 \nHonda Accord\n is the most-likely vehicle to get to 320,000 km. Considering the Accord was just recently launched by \nHonda Malaysia\n, we think its just fitting then! Words like well equipped, competitively priced, performs well, and handles responsively is described, but also mentions that the ride can be choppy. With a roomy and well-finished interior, the Accord gets an overall 30 mpg (7.8-litres per 100 km) with its CVT gearbox (although Malaysia\u2019s unit is equipped with a 5-speed auto). While Malaysia only has the 2.0 and 2.4-litre variant, the test concluded in the United States included the 3.5-litre V6 and Hybrid models.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nToyota Camry\n\n\nThe US market Toyota Camry, also available in Australia. It features a more sporty design compared to the South-East Asian model.\n\n\nWhen it comes to a hassle-free, safe and reliable car, nothing speaks like a Toyota. The \nCamry\n here in mention is the US market version and is different from that which is available in the South-East Asia. But it\u2019s not to say that the Camry\u2019s available here aren\u2019t smooth and dependable transportation options. For the local Malaysian market, the Camry 2.0 and 2.5 Hybrid delivers a fuel consumption at 7.1 and 5.2-litres per 100 km respectively, a more economical reading compared to the States\u2019 28 mpg (8.4-litre per 100 km). Consumer Reports is happy to say that the Camry has a long history of solid reliability and owner satisfaction. With many generations of Camry\u2019s on the road, we couldn\u2019t agree more.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Toyota Camry available in South-East Asia is known as the Aurion in Australia.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nHonda Odyssey\n\n\n\n\nHere\u2019s another vehicle that\u2019s vastly different from the US. But comparing styles, we\u2019d like to think our version available in Malaysia and Singapore (JDM version) looks much better. While the local Odyssey seats seven (with the second row seats being individual cradle units), the US market version seats eight, with both second and third row equipped bench seats. Power is vastly different as well, with a smaller 2.4 unit here compared to a monster 3.5-litre V6 in the States. Yet despite the differences, the Odyssey is still a great minivan with easy access, child-seat accommodations and abundance in cabin storage.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWe definitely prefer the styling on the local Odyssey compared to the US market version above.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nHonda Civic\n\n\nJust look at the latest Civic. Such a curvy machine.\n\n\nThe new 10\nth\n generation\n Civic\n has been launched to much support here in Malaysia. Here the \nCivic\n takes in the form of a 1.8-litre natural aspirated and two 1.5-litre turbocharged variants. Consumer Reports here has praised the Turbo version, highlighting the CVT which works well with the forced induction. Ride is more comfortable, with precise handling, quieter interior and more storage space. What we\u2019re impressed with, is that the new Civics are compatible with Android Auto and Apple Carplay. Oh and that good looks makes us blush with envy.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nToyota Prius\n\n\nIt is still uncertain when the next generation Prius will reach our shores, but compared to the previous, the latest design is quite bold and unique.\n\n\nThe latest fourth gen Prius has quite a design to accustom with. But it is longer, lower and wider than the third generation XW 30 that we\u2019re familiar with. Here with the new platform, the new Prius has an independent rear suspension that contributes to better handling and ride. Upgraded engine, lighter hybrid system components, battery cells with a higher energy density contributes to a claimed 10 per cent better mileage. As a car built for a future, digital gauges dominate the dashboard and makes it easier to access infotainment features.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nHonda CR-V\n\n\n\n\nAs the only SUV in this list of seven, the 2.0 and 2.4-litre model for Malaysia is the one paired with a 5-speed automatic compared to the US market\u2019s CVT. While CR states that the upside to the \nCR-V\n is the handling which is responsive and secure, the drawbacks include a stiff ride, and a distracting, difficult-to-use infotainment system. But as with Honda, rear seats are roomy and folding them is possible and easy. While the US version returns 24 mpg (9.8-litre per 100 km) the local 2.4 version is listed at 8.4-litres per 100 km, almost 1.5-litres in difference.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nToyota Corolla\n\n\nThe US market Corolla certainly looks sporty compared to the more chic executive Altis locally.\n\n\nTo end the list is none other than the world\u2019s most popular nameplate. In Malaysia, the \nCorolla Altis\n is a completely different model from the one mentioned at Consumer Reports. Here fuel economy is excellent on both ends, with the American variant achieving an overall 32 mpg (7.3-litre per 100km) and 43 mpg highway (5.4-litre per 100km). The local \nCorolla Altis\n 2.0 achieves a median mileage at 8-litres per 100km. With claims of good rear-seat spaciousness, we certainly have to agree on both ends.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSo what do you think? With \nHonda\n and \nToyota\n completely dominating this list, we can\u2019t agree more with Japanese reliability and long term mileage. What car do you drive?

And that\u2019s because B-segment vehicles sit in the sweet spot of affordability, practicality, and refinement making them the most popular choice among buyers.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for an affordable car that\u2019s feature-packed without sacrificing comfort and safety, the B-segment is a good place to start looking into.\n\n\n\n\nWhat Is a B-Segment Car?\n\n\nMalaysia generally follows the European segmentation of passenger cars starting from the A- to D-segment and beyond. A-segment cars are considered the smallest, which in Malaysia, include vehicles like the \nPerodua Axia\n and \nProton Saga\n.\u00a0\n\n\nB-segment cars sit between the A- and C-segments, making them the second smallest cars by size. That being said, there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to car sizing and its segments, so the range can differ.\u00a0\n\n\nOther factors that influence a car\u2019s segment are its levels of refinement and cost. If A-segment cars are considered budget-friendly options for students and fresh graduates, then B-segment cars are those that are feature-packed and offer a good level of comfort while still being affordable. And while they\u2019re not as refined as C-segment cars like the \nToyota Corolla\n and \nHonda Civic\n, B-segment cars are widely more favored thanks to their excellent value for money.\u00a0\n\n\nSo, here are the best B-segment cars in Malaysia.\n\n\n1. Perodua Myvi\n\n\n\n\nA 2019 Perodua Myvi AV 1.5 sold for RM52,000 on CARSOME\u00a0\n\n\nThe \nPerodua Myvi\n is arguably Malaysia\u2019s favorite car. This B-segment car is attractive, spacious, practical, and easy to drive on Malaysia\u2019s crowded streets. You can find the Myvi with a 1.3L or 1.5L engine that are both powerful enough while having a fuel consumption of as low as 21.3 km/L making it great for daily commutes and \nbalik kampung\n trips.\n\n\nAlthough it\u2019s a \nhatchback\n, the Myvi has a spacious interior and a 277L boot that\u2019s expandable via its foldable rear seats that\u2019s great for single adults and even small families. There\u2019s also an anti-theft hook to hold your valuables so you have more security against snatch thieves. Other than the base variant, all Myvis come with some degree of Perodua\u2019s A.S.A (Advanced Safety Assist) that includes features like Pre-Collision Braking, Pedal Misoperation Control, and Lane Keep Control.\u00a0\n\n\nBasic safety features such as Traction Control and Hill-start Assist are standard on all variants which means you won\u2019t compromise safety no matter which variant you choose. The Myvi starts from RM46,500 for the base 1.3G (without PSDA) up to RM59,900 for the range-topping 1.5L AV.\n\n\nRead More: \nTo Buy or Lease a Car: What Is the Best Choice for You?\n\n\n2. Honda City\n\n\n\n\nA 2021 Honda City E sold for RM78,500 on CARSOME\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a refined, all-rounder B-segment \nsedan\n, the \nHonda City\n won\u2019t disappoint you. Besides ticking all the boxes of what you would want in a B-segment car, the City is currently the only one in the segment with a \nhybrid\n option.\u00a0\n\n\nIt comes in naturally aspirated (NA) versions with a 1.5L engine and a hybrid 1.5L RS version that has the engine paired with a lithium-ion battery and a powerful electric motor capable of producing 253 Nm of torque. This torque figure is comparable to a 2.5L engine, so you can expect punchy acceleration in the hybrid version. The hybrid powertrain gives an impressive fuel consumption of 27.8 km/L versus 18.5 km/L on the NA variants.\n\n\nBeing a Honda, you can expect the City to have a refined and ergonomic interior for both driver and passengers contributing to a very comfortable ride. It also has rear aircon vents, a spacious 519L boot, and USB charging ports at the front and rear.\u00a0\n\n\nStandard safety features include Hill Start Assist, Brake Assist, and Emergency Stop Signal, while the Honda SENSING advanced safety features are only available on the RS hybrid version. The price of a Honda City ranges from RM77,600 for the base 1.5L S up to RM108,800 for the 1.5L RS hybrid.\n\n\n3. Proton X50\n\n\n\n\nA 2022 Proton X50 Standard sold for RM84,400 on CARSOME\n\n\nIf you want the affordability of a B-segment car in a high-riding, rugged package, then it\u2019s worth considering the \nProton X50\n. It\u2019s one of the best-selling SUVs in Malaysia, even clinching the title of \noverall best-selling vehicle in July 2022\n. It comes with a powerful turbocharged 1.5L engine paired with a smooth seven-speed DCT (dual-clutch transmission).\n\n\nThis B-segment \nSUV\n offers a slew of attractive features including multiple drive modes, remote engine start, rear aircon vents, and an infotainment system with voice command, as well as 4G and Wi-Fi connectivity. With its ample space and impressive finishing, the X50\u2019s cabin is also a very comfortable place to be in.\n\n\nStandard safety features on all variants include Auto Brake Hold, Hill Hold Assist, and Hill Descent Control, while only the top-of-the-line Flagship variant has advanced driver assistance features such as Autonomous Emergency Braking and Lane Keep Assist. The Proton X50 starts from RM86,300 for the 1.5T Standard to RM113,300 for the 1.5 TGDI Flagship, making it a solid B-segment SUV with premium features and finishing.\n\n\nRead More: \nSigns to Sell or Upgrade Your Car\n\n\n4. Perodua Alza\n\n\n\n\nThe new generation \nPerodua Alza\n that was launched in 2022 is a long-awaited update to Perodua\u2019s beloved B-segment \nMPV\n. Based on the Toyota Veloz, the Alza is now bigger and more refined, being designed with passenger comfort in mind. It has a 137L luggage capacity in its seven-seater configuration and 498L with the third-row seats folded down, making it great for long road trips.\n\n\nIt also has ceiling-mounted rear aircon vents, rear armrests, three USB ports, and up to two 12V power sockets for your passengers to charge their mobile devices. This B-segment car is also the first Perodua to feature a 360-degree camera (only on the range-topping 1.5L AV), electric parking brake with auto hold, and rear disc brakes.\n\n\nAlthough the Alza ranges from an affordable RM62,500 for the base 1.5L X to RM75,500 for the 1.5L AV, it\u2019s still equipped with A.S.A. In fact, even the 1.5L X has Pre-Collision Warning with Braking, Front Departure Alert, and Lane Departure Warning with Prevention. With its versatility and wealth of features, the Perodua Alza is easily one of the best B-segment family cars in Malaysia.\n\n\n5. Proton Persona\n\n\n\n\nA 2017 Proton Persona Standard sold for RM33,600 on CARSOME\n\n\nThe \nProton Persona\n stands out in this list of B-segment cars as it\u2019s the cheapest car here while providing exceptional space. Being a sedan, the Persona has ample cabin space and a large 510L boot, so if you\u2019re looking for an affordable family sedan, definitely consider the Persona.\n\n\nIt\u2019s powered by a 1.6L engine, so power is no issue here. Couple that with Proton\u2019s ride and handling, and you have a car that\u2019s planted and engaging to drive around corners. However, the Persona is not as well equipped as its other competitors on this list when it comes to creature comforts. Its standard features include ECO Drive Assist, Intelligent Entry with push start button, and an N95 cabin filter.\n\n\nOnly the Premium variant gets an infotainment system that supports voice command, 4G, Wi-Fi, and several online services. That being said, all variants have six USB ports with five of them being for charging. In terms of safety, the Persona doesn\u2019t have advanced driver assistance but does come with standard features such as Traction Control and Hill Hold Assist.\u00a0\n\n\nPriced from RM47,800 for the 1.6L Standard up to RM58,300 for the 1.6L Premium, the Proton Persona is a great B-segment car if what you need is a no-nonsense spacious family sedan.\n\n\nGet a Quality B-Segment Car on CARSOME\n\n\nThese B-segment cars are some of the best value-for-money vehicles in the market and are a great fit for a wide range of buyers.

One way to improve your ride and breathe new life into it is by installing aftermarket car upgrades. While most people think that car upgrades are for those who want to drive fast and show off their rides, there\u2019s actually a wide variety of parts that you can get to just make your car a better daily driver. Here are some simple upgrades that won\u2019t break the bank and are quite easily available at your local workshops.\n\n\n\n\nLonger Lasting Spark Plugs\u00a0\n\n\nSpark plugs are essential as they produce the spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture in the engine. High-quality spark plugs are an essential car upgrade as they produce a better spark allowing for better combustion in the \nengine\n. This ultimately leads to improved performance and fuel economy. Most cars come with copper spark plugs as standard as they are the most affordable and they get the job done. However, if you want to improve your engine performance, you can consider upgrading to platinum or iridium spark plugs.\n\n\nIn fact, spark plugs are considered serviceable parts that need to be replaced around 60,000 kilometers (depending on the manufacturer). You can take this opportunity to upgrade your spark plugs.\n\n\nThe platinum tip on a platinum spark plug is harder and more heat resistant than copper which allows it to last longer. The lifespan of a platinum spark plug ranges from 40,000 kilometers to over 100,000 kilometers while copper spark plugs tend to last up to 20,000 kilometers. Platinum spark plugs also run hotter allowing deposits to be burnt off the plugs more efficiently. If you\u2019re looking for the best spark plugs, consider iridium spark plugs. Iridium is stronger than platinum and can last up to 25 percent longer. Iridium spark plugs also have finer electrodes which require less voltage, allowing for a more consistent spark.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBetter Tires to Help Your Car Stick to the Road\n\n\nOne car upgrade every owner should get is better \ntires\n. Since the tires on your car are constantly in contact with the road surface, they greatly influence your ride comfort and handling. Before choosing new tires to upgrade to, you need to ensure that they fit your car\u2019s existing tire width and rim size.\n\n\nYou would also want to take into consideration the features you want in the tires. There are now tires that handle better on dry and wet surfaces, have better braking distance, or dissipate noise for a quieter cabin.\u00a0\n\n\nPremium brands like Michelin, Pirelli, and Goodyear also have high-end tires with good all-round performance making them suitable for daily use. The next time you change your tires, consider upgrading them to improve your overall driving experience.\n\n\nRead More: \nThings to Check When You Service Your Car\n\n\n\n\nSuspension and Absorber Bushings for Better Handling\n\n\nSuspension or \nabsorber\n bushings are rubber cushions that sit between the suspension and the chassis. They reduce the vibration and noise being transferred into the car\u2019s frame to ensure a smooth and comfortable ride. Bushings also contribute to the stability of a car by reducing body shift and roll during turns. Most cars come with rubber bushings as standard but rubber wears out and becomes cracked over time, which will then affect your ride comfort.\u00a0\n\n\nBy upgrading your suspension bushings to polyurethane ones, you\u2019ll make sure that they last longer. Compared to rubber, polyurethane has better cut, tear, chemical, and abrasion resistance. It also has a better load-bearing capacity. Although polyurethane is slightly stiffer than rubber, it\u2019s still good at dampening vibrations making it a good choice for bushings. Furthermore, the added stiffness of polyurethane bushings will help improve your car\u2019s handling.\n\n\nRead More\n: \nSafety Features You Need in a Car\n\n\n\n\nCold Air Intakes for Improved Power and Efficiency\n\n\nThe air intake system of an engine delivers air to the engine for combustion to take place. The more air and oxygen the engine receives, the more intense the resulting combustion is, which leads to the engine producing more power. Compared to a stock air intake system, a cold air intake frees up the airflow to the engine and sends in cold air.\u00a0\n\n\nSince cold air is denser than warm air, it contains more oxygen. With increased oxygen in the combustion chamber, your engine is able to produce more power while burning the same amount of fuel. Since your engine is able to burn fuel more efficiently, you\u2019ll also experience improved fuel economy.\n\n\n\n\nDash Cams for Security\n\n\nOne of the most affordable car upgrades you can get is a digital video recorder (DVR) or dash cam. A dash cam is a camera that\u2019s mounted on the dashboard of your car. It\u2019s designed to constantly record video and audio out of your car windshield so the footage can be used as evidence in case anything happens on the road. By being able to capture footage of an accident, you can determine who\u2019s really at fault and prevent fraud.\n\n\nMore advanced dash cams even have additional functions like built-in GPS, Wifi connectivity, and 24-hour parking surveillance or parking mode. With the parking mode function, the dash cam will continue to record when your car is parked or, in some devices, detect motion.\n\n\nThese car upgrades can make a big difference to your car yet are fairly easy to acquire and install. Just remember to check the wiring of your car and see if it is compatible with a dash cam \u2013 you will need a USB port for it to function.\n\n\nBuy a Car with CARSOME for Peace of Mind\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a \npre-owned car\n, look no further than CARSOME.

These kinds of vehicles have been around ever since the beginning of automotives and don\u2019t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.\n\n\n\n\nA sedan is ideal for mid-size families or for those who don\u2019t need lots of extra seats and cargo space.

And one prominent use case of RFID technology in Malaysia is to pay for highway toll fees. This usage started with the Malaysia RFID Public Pilot Programme in 2018 and after rigorous testing over the years, Touch \u2018n Go (TNG) RFID is now widely available at toll plazas across Malaysia.\n\n\nWith the halting of the sales of the SmartTag device back in 2018 and the expansion of RFID throughout Malaysian highways, it\u2019s clear that TNG plans for RFID to be the main method for contactless payment at toll booths. Also, with the announcement by the Works Ministry in December 2021 that all toll plazas along the North-South Highway (PLUS) will support RFID payment from January 2022, there\u2019s more reason for road users to adopt the technology. Here are some questions about the RFID system in Malaysia answered.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTable of Contents\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow Does RFID Work?\n\n\nHow Much Is a TNG RFID Tag and Where Are the RFID Installation Locations?\n\n\nWhy Can I Only Install the RFID Tag on the Windshield or Headlight?\n\n\nHow Durable Is the Rfid Tag?\n\n\nCan the RFID Tag Be Stolen and Used by Another Party?\n\n\nHow Do I Transfer My RFID Tag to Another Car?\n\n\nWhat Happens If You Drive into a Lane with Insufficient RFID Balance?\n\n\nCan I Link Multiple RFID Tags to One TNG eWallet Account?\n\n\nWhy Does It Take So Long for the RFID Toll Barrier to Open?\n\n\n How Do I Check My RFID Balance, Can I Download A Transaction Statement?\n\n\nHow Long Does It Take To Reload My RFID Tag?\n\n\nHow Do I Terminate/Cancel My TNG RFID Tag?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow Does RFID Work?\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTNG\u2019s RFID works as a passive system that does not require a card and device with batteries to work. An overhead scanner (similar to the SmartTAG system) mounted at the toll booth reads the RFID tag (the sticker that is applied onto your vehicle) via electromagnetic fields. The toll fare will then be deducted from the Touch \u2018n Go eWallet app that\u2019s paired with the RFID tag. The funds for this are stored on the app and can be loaded through credit or debit cards, online bank transfers, or by purchasing a TNG eWallet reload PIN.\n\n\n\n\nHow Much Is a TNG RFID Tag and Where Are the RFID Installation Locations?\n\n\nThe retail price of an RFID tag/sticker is RM35 but you can purchase it for RM25 on the Touch \u2018n Go app. You can also purchase it at the normal retail price from the TNG online portal, authorized agents, and at RFID installation or fitment centers in Malaysia. Touch \u2018n Go no longer provides free RFID installation as it did during the Public Pilot Programme, but \ninstalling the RFID tag\n on\n your car is a simple process that you can do at home.\n\n\nIf you\u2019d prefer to have it installed at a fitment center, you can visit the 39 \nRFID installation locations\n currently available across seven states in Peninsular Malaysia which are Selangor, Pulau Pinang, Perak, Negeri Sembilan, Kuala Lumpur, Johor, and Kedah.\n\n\n\n\nWhy Can I Only Install the TNG RFID Tag on the Windshield or Headlight?\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe RFID tag is not able to work near metal, hence the reason why it can only be fitted either on the windshield or headlights. The distance between the tag and any metal surfaces has to be at least 5 cm. However, as most Malaysian vehicles have solar tints which may be metalized, there could also be interference between the scanner and the sticker which may render the RFID sticker unusable. Before installing your RFID sticker, make sure to check that your window tint has no metal content. Alternatively, you can get the fitment center to examine your windshield before the RFID installation.\n\n\n\n\nHow Durable Is the RFID Tag?\n\n\n\n\nAccording to TNG, the RFID tag is made to last for an average of five years and is made of highly durable material that can withstand various weather conditions, including heat and rain. However, it\u2019s recommended to avoid chemical wash directly on the tag to prolong its lifespan.\n\n\n\n\nCan the RFID Sticker Be Stolen and Used by Another Party?\n\n\nThe sticker is damaged when removed, so it\u2019s impossible to steal and reuse it. However, you can replace a damaged sticker by contacting TNG. For RFID stickers purchased at any authorized fitment center, you can simply visit the center to get your sticker replaced.\n\n\nFor self-fitment stickers, you can contact TNG directly to request an RFID replacement via email at \ncareline@touchngo.com.my\n, via phone careline at \n03-27148888\n, or by contacting them on their Facebook and Twitter social media channels. \nThere\u2019s also a \nlist of TNG contact channels\n that you can check to get an RFID replacement.\n\n\nDo note that the first RFID tag replacement is free of charge, but only if the sticker was fitted after 15 February 2020. Each subsequent replacement will cost you RM35.\n\n\n\n\nHow Do I Transfer My RFID Tag to Another Car?\n\n\nAs mentioned above, removing the sticker will damage it, so you won\u2019t be able to transfer your RFID to a new car. When you sell your car, you need to deactivate your existing RFID tag to prevent it from being misused by the new owner. If you need an RFID tag for another car, the only way around it is to purchase a new tag and install it on your car.\n\n\n\n\nWhat Happens If You Drive into a Lane with Insufficient RFID Balance?\n\n\nTouch \u2018n Go has mentioned that as of present, the toll fare display will show \u201cBaki Kurang\u201d (Insufficient funds). That said, you can simply top up your RFID balance on the TNG eWallet app and drive through the toll booth again. To avoid getting stuck at the toll booth, it\u2019s best to check your RFID balance before you embark on your journey.\n\n\n\n\nCan I Link Multiple RFID Tags to One TNG eWallet Account?\n\n\nYes. You can register and activate up to 10 RFID tags for 10 vehicles in your TNG eWallet. However, one vehicle can only be linked to one tag. Do note that to link a vehicle to your eWallet, you have to be the owner of the vehicle.\n\n\n\n\nWhy Does It Take So Long for the RFID Toll Barrier to Open?\n\n\nMany lanes have different legacy configurations and the system integrators and concessionaires are working together to harmonize these lanes for RFID to reduce the deviation factor so that the experience is consistent for customers. While this issue may be common at the beginning of the Public Pilot Programme, most users should now have a smooth experience when driving through the TNG RFID toll lane. \n\n\nOn the occasion that the overhead RFID reader at the toll lane is unable to read your RFID tag you can get help from the customer service staff stationed at the plaza to read your vehicle\u2019s RFID tag with a portable RFID reader so you can pay the toll fee and be on your way.\n\n\n\n\nHow Do I Check My RFID Balance, Can I Download a Transaction Statement?\n\n\nYou can check your RFID balance simply by checking the funds available in your TNG eWallet app. You can also check your RFID transaction history in the app to know how much you\u2019ve spent on toll fees and at which toll plazas. On your TNG eWallet Home, simply select \u201cTransaction History\u201d to view your latest transactions.\n\n\n\n\nOn this page, you can filter the transactions by date range or transaction type, and also send a copy of your RFID transaction statement to your email address. Once you have it in your email, you can save or print your RFID transaction statement.\n\n\n\n\nHow Long Does It Take To Reload My RFID Tag?\n\n\nWhen you reload your TNG eWallet, the funds will be automatically available in your RFID tag. And since reloading your TNG eWallet is instant, you can immediately use the tag for toll payments. You can also set your eWallet to automatically reload once your fund balance dips below a certain threshold. This will ensure that you always have sufficient funds and prevent you from getting stuck at the toll gate.\n\n\n\n\nHow Do I Terminate/Cancel My TNG RFID Tag?\n\n\nThere are several ways to cancel your TNG RFID tag. If you registered your tag on the \nTNG RFID portal\n, you can do the self-termination by logging in to your portal account and selecting \u201cTerminate\u201d under the \u201c\nMy Vehicle\n\u201d section. You can also \ncontact Touch \u2018n Go\n via their email, careline number, and social media channels.\n\n\nYou can also terminate your RFID via the TNG eWallet app. On the Home screen, simply select \u201cToll\u201d, \u201cRFID\u201d, and then \u201cTerminate Now\u201d for the RFID tag that you want to terminate.\n\n\nThere you have it, all your TNG RFID questions answered.

Is Having an iPad in Your Car a Good Idea?", "By\n \nBrian Wong", "24/11/2022", "\n\n\n\n\n", "In a shocking turn of events in the car industry, \nVolkswagen\n has announced that the good ol\u2019 push buttons are returning to their cars. Specifically, on their steering wheels. This brings a massive breath of fresh air to the automotive industry where large infotainment screens, digital dashboards, and touch controls are the norm as a driver interface these days.\u00a0\n\n\nNotice how many buttons and analog instruments in our cars are slowly being phased out these days? Instead of each individual having its own button as displayed on either the steering wheel or center console, it\u2019s all condensed into one, \nbig infotainment screen\n.\n Even our driver\u2019s dashboard also fell victim to this new trend. Gone were the days of analog speedometers. On luxury and higher-end cars, the infotainment screens just keep getting bigger and high-tech.\n\n\nTake the brand new 2023 Ford Mustang, for example. Gone were the analog and semi-analog instrument gauges and gains a brand new 12.3-inch fully digital one. Gone were the days too of seeing a physical meter going up and down when you hit the throttle. Enthusiasts around the world begin to ponder \u2013 where have our analog buttons and meters gone? The answer lies in the natural progression of technology and simplicity in manufacturing.\n\n\nWhy Are Digital Screens the Norm These Days?\u00a0\n\n\nSimply put, analog technology is steadily being phased out due to a natural progression in tech. Charles Darwin coined the term evolution for animals and humans. It is only pedagogical that technology follows suit. Big, bulky CRT Monitors and TVs are replaced by LCD ones, the Kodak Film Camera is replaced by the digital ones, and then, along came the smartphone.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSwitching to a digital screen does have its merits. It simplifies the construction and cost to produce as opposed to analog tech. Furthermore, auto manufacturers can squeeze more features into one operating system under one screen compared to analog technology.\u00a0It\u2019s a win-win situation, right?\u00a0\n\n\nBenefits of Infotainment Systems and Digital Instrument Clusters\n\n\nAdvancements in technology have essentially made cars today a smartphone on wheels. No need to swap out a cassette or a CD, just change your playlist on your phone via a Bluetooth connection. The touchscreen monitor can also display your navigation routes too. Climate control, ambient lighting, and service status? It\u2019s all in there with a simple touch. The simplicity of digital and touchscreen technology makes it easy for users to interact.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis, however, begets the question \u2013 with tighter laws and regulations introduced to prevent drivers from being on their smartphones, why are auto manufacturers introducing touchscreen monitors more and more in their cars?\u00a0\n\n\nIs Having More Screens and Touch Controls in Cars a Good Thing?\n\n\nBefore people cast judgment on this topic of someone rambling like an old man saying: \u201cThey don\u2019t make cars like they used to nowadays\u201d, perhaps one can consider the following few cars for example.\u00a0\n\n\nCase Example 1: 2021 Tesla Model S\n\n\nThe 2021 Tesla Model S, although unofficially released in Malaysia, a handful of units can be had here via gray import dealers. One notable feature in its interior is a whopping 17-inch infotainment display on the center console and an eight-inch screen for the rear seats.\u00a0\n\n\nCase Example 2: 2019/2020 BMW X5\n\n\nInfotainment systems these days are so advanced that even auto manufacturers go beyond more than one screen. The 2019/2020 BMW X5 for example has one infotainment screen each mounted behind the headrest of the front seats. Passengers in the rear can watch the video of their choice and also utilize the iDrive in the car to its fullest potential.\u00a0\n\n\nCase Example 3: 2023 Ford Mustang\n\n\nThe 2023 Ford Mustang too, fell victim to this trend mentioned above. In comparison with the previous generation of the Ford Mustang, it has a huge 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster now and a 13.2-inch touchscreen monitor. Gone were the 12-inch LCD dashboard and an eight-inch touchscreen monitor in the previous generation.\u00a0\n\n\nTighter laws are introduced to prevent drivers from gluing their eyes to screens while driving, but why are auto manufacturers adding more of them? Although touchscreen and touch-control technology have come a long way, cramming everything into one screen is bound to distract the driver on the road.\n\n\nUnderstandably, manufacturers did implement some safety features that prevent the driver from meddling with the touchscreen monitor. The third-generation Nissan X-Trail for example locks out the driver from interacting with the screen when the car is moving. But there is one fatal flaw that plagues all technology \u2013 human error.\n\n\nRead More: \nCar Headlight Technology: What\u2019s the Best Method to Light the Way?\n\n\nLarge or Small, Having Screens Are Distracting Drivers on the Road\n\n\nA study conducted by the American Automobile Association (AAA) and the University of Utah concludes that, out of 1,700 crashes by teenagers, \n10% of the causes \nare being distracted by something else in the car. Moreover, Carsurance, an online service that helps you find the best car insurance companies in North America conducted a study on car accidents. The study concludes that 2.5 million crashes in 2019 were caused by distracted drivers. But what about Malaysia?\n\n\nThe \nJournal of the Society of Automotive Engineers Malaysia (JSAEM)\n conducted a study in 2020 in Shah Alam. In three different districts, Seksyen 7, Seksyen 19, and Seksyen 21 as their focus group, they found that 9.6% of the drivers are distracted by either their mobile devices or fiddling with their car\u2019s features. This study is also supported by the \nMalaysia Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS)\n where 43.4% of the drivers in Klang Valley admitted to being glued onto a mobile device while driving.\u00a0\n\n\n*Put old vs new Mustang interior*\n\n\nThe clutteredness of the driver\u2019s touchscreen monitor distracts people on the road, and drivers won\u2019t stop fiddling with them. Instead of pulling over to the side, drivers would continue to mess around with their infotainment system while on the road.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFRIwu_OVlc\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIn contrast with analog buttons and knobs, an article by Futurism reports that buttons and physical controls offer \ntactility that allows\n drivers to intuitively reach out while driving. Analog controls are permanently housed in the center console. Muscle memory will instinctively take over without having to take your eyes off the road if you need to activate a feature in the car.\u00a0\n\n\nAlthough infotainment technology has come a long way, it isn\u2019t perfect yet. As advanced as they can be, touchscreens still suffer from input lag or delays, be it brand new or after prolonged usage. The longer the driver is distracted by attempting to manipulate the controls of a touchscreen, the higher chance of an accident can occur.\n\n\nRead More: \nWhat is a Car Head Unit & 4 Best Brands in Malaysia\n\n\nI Drive an Older Car, Should I Retrofit an Infotainment System into It?\u00a0\n\n\nOccasionally, a million-dollar question approaches those who still drive older cars \u2013 Should I retrofit a touchscreen monitor in my car? Well, that answer really depends on what you want. Do you want more features in an old car e.g. a reverse/360-degree camera, Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, GPS, and the sorts only available on modern and high-priced cars? Or do you prefer the retro, physical buttons while keeping it simple and aesthetically pleasing to look at to maintain a clean interior?\u00a0\n\n\nInstalling a touchscreen monitor can cost you a pretty penny, but it still beats the cost of buying a brand-new vehicle for the sake of it.

Menurut UMWT, pembelian \nbatch\n pertama Corolla Cross 2021 baharu akan menerima versi pemasangan import (CBU) sepenuhnya dari Thailand dan berpeluang menikmati\n pengeculian cukai jualan kereta\n sebanyak 50 peratus seperti diumumkan kerajaan untuk model CBU. Namun begitu, bermula separuh kedua 2021, Toyota akan mengeluarkan Corolla Cross versi pemasangan tempatan (CKD) yang akan dipasang di kilang di Bukit Raja sekali gus menjadikannya model TNGA pertama yang dihasilkan secara CKD di negara ini.\n\n\nKredit: \nToyota Malaysa\n\n\nVersi pemasangan tempatan (CKD) ini secara tidak langsung dijangka dapat menawarkan harga yang lebih rendah dan kompetitif berbanding versi CBU. Malah, ia semestinya dapat membuka lebih banyak peluang untuk kereta versi hibrid diperkenalkan di Malaysia. Pengenalan versi pemasangan tempatan (CKD) ini juga dapat memberi kelebihan kepada pengguna atau pembeli untuk memanfaatkan pengecualian cukai jualan sepenuhnya terhadap kereta penumpang pemasangan tempatan (CKD).\n\n\nToyota Corolla Cross Sah Dilancarkan Secara Rasmi 25 Mac 2021\n\n\nCorolla Cross merupakan SUV terbaharu keluaran Toyota selepas Toyota RAV4 yang dilancarkan pada pertengahan tahun lalu. Model segmen C baharu ini didatangkan dalam dua pilihan varian seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\nCorolla Cross 1.8V \u2013 Harga bermula serendah RM134,000 (tanpa pengecualian cukai jualan);\n\n\nCorolla Cross 1.8G \u2013 Harga bermula serendah RM124,000 (dengan pengecualian cukai jalan).\n\n\n\n\nModel Corolla Cross (2021) mula dilancarkan secara global buat pertama kali di Thailand pada Julai 2020 (diikuti oleh Indonesia beberapa bulan kemudian) dengan empat pilihan varian termasuk trenkuasa hibrid. Namun begitu, varian jenis ini tidak dijual untuk pasaran Malaysia. Dari segi prestasi atas kertas, SUV kompak yang menggantikan Toyota C-HR ini dijangka akan memberikan persaingan hebat terhadap model-model lain sedia ada di pasaran seperti Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-5 dan Proton X70. Model baharu Toyota ini menawarkan lima pilihan warna seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\nRed Mica Metallic\n (Merah);\n\n\nPlatinum White Pearl\n (Putih);\n\n\nMetalstream Metallic\n (Perak);\n\n\nGraphite Metallic\n (Kelabu);\n\n\nNebula Blue Metallic\n (Biru).\n\n\n\n\nKredit: \nToyota Malaysia\n\n\n5 Perkara Tentang Corolla Cross 2021 \u2013 The Next Big Thing\n\n\nCarsome menyenaraikan maklumat-maklumat penting berkaitan Corolla Cross 2021 baharu seperti prestasi dan keupayaan enjin, ukuran dimensi, bahagian dalaman (\ninterior\n) dan luaran serta ciri-ciri keselamatan Toyota Safety Sensing (TSS) untuk panduan anda:\n\n\n1. Prestasi Enjin\n\n\nCorolla Cross 2021 baharu menggunakan platform TNGA-C (sama seperti Toyota Corolla, C-HR dan Prius) yang dikuasakan oleh enjin aspirasi biasa (NA) 1.8L petrol DOHC 4 silinder dengan Dual VVT-i. Ia sekali gus berupaya menghasilkan 139 PS pada 6,400 rpm dan 172 Nm tork pada 4,000 rpm dan boleh mencapai kelajuan maksimum sehingga 185 km/j. Selain itu, ia turut dipadankan dengan transmisi CVT dengan \nSequential Shiftmatic\n 7 kelajuan dalam konfigurasi pacuan roda depan (FWD).\n\n\n2. Dimensi\n\n\nModel Corolla Cross 2021 berkongsi jarak roda yang sama dengan Toyota C-HR iaitu 2,640 mm. Namun begitu, Corolla Cross dikatakan 100 mm lebih panjang (4,460 mm), 30 mm lebih lebar (1,825 mm) dan 55 mm lebih tinggi (1,620 mm) berbanding C-HR. Sama seperti kebanyakan model terkini Toyota, Corolla Cross yang dibina menggunakan platform \nToyota New Global Architecture\n (TNGA) ini memiliki pusat graviti yang lebih rendah sekali gus menjanjikan kenderaan yang lebih stabil, selesa dan selamat. Ia juga turut merangkumi kejuruteraan enjin serta suspensi yang direka untuk menawarkan imbangan dan kestabilan pemanduan tanpa mengorbankan aspek keselesaan. Corolla Cross 2021 juga turut menawarkan radius pusingan 5.2 meter yang terbaik dalam kelasnya.\n\n\nKredit: \nToyota Malaysia\n\n\n3. Bahagian Luaran\n\n\nMeskipun merupakan sebahagian daripada keluarga Corolla, Toyota Corolla Cross baharu ini mempunyai elemen gaya yang berbeza berbanding Corolla Sedan sedia ada. Ia tampil dengan reka bentuk yang lebih\n sporty\n dan garang sesuai dengan imejnya sebagai SUV sebenar. Varian Corolla Cross 1.8G standard menampilkan lampu utama jenis projektor halogen, manakala varian Corolla Cross 1.8V pula menerima lampu Bi-LED untuk pencahayaan yang lebih baik. Lampu pencahayaan siang (DRL) pula menampilkan gaya \nlight curtain\n sekali gus menyuntik rekaan yang lebih unik, moden dan memukau.\n\n\nKedua-dua varian ini dikemaskan dengan lampu kabus (hadapan dan belakang) jenis LED dan ciri yang sama turut ditampilkan untuk lampu belakang. Varian 1.8V turut diserlahkan dengan rim aloi 18 inci manakala varian 1.8G menerima kemasan rim aloi 17 inci. Kedua-dua varian juga turut menampilkan sistem brek cakera depan dan belakang serta dilengkapi dengan bukaan but belakang automatik dengan sistem pengesanan gerak kaki pengguna.\n\n\n4. Bahagian Dalaman\n\n\nSeperti kebiasaan, aspek keselesaan amat dititikberatkan oleh Toyota sama seperti model-model sebelum ini. Corolla Cross baharu menampilkan ciri premium dengan ruang kepala yang lebih luas berbanding pesaing-pesaing lain dalam kelas yang sama. Ruang dalaman atau\n interior\n kabin Toyota Corolla Cross menerima kemasan dalam skema tona hitam lengkap dengan balutan kulit pada tempat duduk dan tombol gear. Manakala, perincian pada papan pemuka diserlahkan dengan warna kontra kemasan cat satin berwarna perak dan \npiano black\n.\n\n\nDari aspek keselesaan dan kemudahan, tempat duduk pemandu boleh dilaras secara automatik dengan 8 tetapan pelarasan untuk keselesaan sepanjang pemanduan. Kerusi bahagian tempat duduk penumpang pula hanya boleh dilaras secara manual. Panel instrumen pula tampil dengan gaya \nsporty\n dengan panel paparan berbilang maklumat (\nmulti-info display\n, MID) bersaiz 4.2 inci. Di bahagian tengah pula menampilkan unit infotainmen dengan panel skrin sentuh bersaiz 9 inci dengan ciri-ciri menarik seperti kamera undur, menyokong ketersambungan Apple CarPlay dan Android Auto selain slot \nUSB Mirroring\n dan \nBluetooth\n.\n\n\nRuang simpanan pula tersedia dengan kapasiti seluas 440 liter. Selain itu, kerusi tempat duduk penumpang di bahagian belakang boleh dilipat untuk memberikan ruang simpanan belakang yang lebih selesa dan luas \u2013 boleh memuatkan dua buah basikal.\n\n\nKredit: \nToyota Malaysia\n\n\n5. Toyota Safety Sensing (TSS)\n\n\nCorolla Cross 1.8V dilengkapi teknologi bantuan pemanduan Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) yang merupakan sebahagian daripada inisiatif \nToyota Synergised Mobility\n (TSM). TSS 2.0 ini merangkumi ciri-ciri keselamatan seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\nSistem Praperlanggaran (PCS);\n\n\nAmaran Penukaran Lorong (LDA) dengan Bantuan Stereng;\n\n\nKawalan Pemanduan Radar Dinamik (DRCC);\n\n\nBantuan Pengesan Lorong (LTA);\n\n\nLampu Tinggi Automatik (AHB).\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, ciri keselamatan standard berikut boleh didapati dalam kedua-dua varian:\n\n\n\n\nPemantau Titik Buta (BSM);\n\n\nAmaran Lintasan Trafik Belakang (RCTA);\n\n\nSistem Amaran Tekanan Tayar (TPWS);\n\n\nPerakam Video Digital (DVR) bahagian depan (kamera belakang ditawarkan sebagai pilihan) \u2013 membolehkan pemandu merakam pergerakan kenderaan sepanjang masa, rakaman boleh digunakan sebagai bukti jika berlaku kemalangan;\n\n\nImmobilizer\n enjin;\n\n\nSistem Telematik Kenderaan (VTS) termasuk Langganan VTS percuma selama tiga tahun \u2013 berfungsi mengesan kedudukan kenderaan menggunakan isyarat GSM/GPS jika kenderaan dicuri atau jika impak dikesan, khidmat kecemasan akan digerakkan ke lokasi terkini;\n\n\nTujuh beg udara SRS (termasuk satu beg udara di bahagian lutut pemandu);\n\n\nCangkuk ISOFIX;\n\n\nKawalan Kestabilan Kenderaan (VSC);\n\n\nEnam sensor parkir (2 depan, 4 belakang);\n\n\nKawalan Bantuan Mendaki (HAC);\n\n\nSistem Brek Kecemasan (EBS) dan Sistem Brek Antikunci (ABS);\n\n\nKawalan Cengkaman (TRC);\n\n\nPengagihan Brek Elektronik (EBD) dan Bantuan Brek (BA).\n\n\n\n\nKredit: \nToyota Malaysia\n\n\nPerbandingan antara SUV Toyota Corolla Cross, Subaru XV dan Honda HR-V\n\n\nSecara amnya, Toyota menyifatkan Corolla Cross 2021 sebagai SUV Segmen C. Namun begitu, berdasarkan ukuran saiz dan dimensi, Toyota Corolla Cross dikatakan lebih besar berbanding SUV Segmen B dan lebih kecil berbanding SUV Segmen C. Corolla Cross sebenarnya lebih dekat untuk dibandingkan dengan Subaru XV berbanding Honda HR-V. Namun begitu, jualan Subaru XV di Malaysia boleh dikatakan sedikit perlahan berbanding Honda HR-V. Oleh itu, untuk memudahkan anda, Carsome menyediakan perbandingan antara ketiga-tiga model ini (Toyota Corolla Cross, Subaru XV dan Honda HR-V) berikut untuk panduan anda:\n\n\n1. Harga\n\n\nVarian Toyota Corolla Cross yang baharu dilancarkan merupakan versi import sepenuhnya (CBU) daripada Thailand. Oleh sebab itu, harga yang ditawarkan sedikit mahal berbanding model pesaing lain sedia ada di pasaran. Namun begitu, harga yang ditawarkan adalah setanding dengan sistem dan teknologi keselamatan yang ditawarkan berbanding varian lain di pasaran.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nToyota Corolla Cross\n\n\nHonda HR-V\n\n\nSubaru XV\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHarga\n\n\nRM124,000-RM134,000\n\n\nRM104,000-RM118,582\n\n\nRM112,138 \u2013 RM133,788\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Rupa Luaran\n\n\nReka bentuk sentiasa menjadi topik yang subjektif untuk dibincangkan. Sesetengah individu mungkin meminati reka bentuk model tertentu dan sesetengah individu yang lain mungkin meminati reka bentuk yang berlainan. Dalam erti kata lain, ketiga-tiga model kereta ini memiliki peminat dan kelebihan rekaan yang tersendiri. Namun begitu, jika diperhatikan, Toyota Corolla Cross sedikit sebanyak kelihatan seperti mini Toyota RAV4.\n\n\n3.

Aspek Keselamatan\n\n\nToyota Corolla Cross boleh dikatakan pilihan yang jauh lebih baik berbanding model lain.

Seolah-olah anda baru kena \u2018rompak\u2019 dengan cara yang halal di situ.\u00a0\n\n\nAnda sebagai pengguna sebenarnya dilindungi oleh kerajaan Malaysia menerusi \nAkta Perlindungan Pengguna 1999\n.

Ini Apa Yang Anda WAJIB Tahu Tentang \u2018Lemon Law\u2019\n\n\n1. Pastikan Ada Job Order\n\n\nAnda datang ke bengkel untuk periksa satu bunyi pelik kedengaran daripada kereta anda. Anda suruh mekanik untuk \nPERIKSA\n sahaja. Tetapi kemudian tiba-tiba mekanik kata dia dah pun siap baiki semua kerosakan yang ada. Haa\u2026 sudah! Lain yang disuruh lain yang dibuat.\u00a0\n\n\nRamai yang tak tahu bahawa kereta tidak boleh dibaiki tanpa persetujuan daripada pemilik kenderaan. Kalau pemilik suruh periksa sahaja, maka mekanik wajib patuh dah hanya periksa bahagian yang disuruh saja.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nKerana itulah pentingnya \u2018job order\u2019 iaitu dokumen yang menerangkan apa yang rosak serta alat ganti yang akan digunakan serta upah baiki. Lebih kurang seperti \u2018quotation\u2019 ataupun sebut harga. Sekiranya pelanggan bersetuju, barulah kerja-kerja membaiki boleh diteruskan.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nTips Kenal Pasti, Cara Semak Kereta Pernah Kemalangan\n\n\nTak jadi masalah pun kalau mekanik nak periksa bahagian kereta yang lain dan memaklumkan kepada pelanggan tentang apa lagi yang telah rosak tetapi ia juga haruslah dimasukkan ke dalam \u2018job order\u2019 yang dibuat. Sekiranya pelanggan bersetuju, barulah boleh baiki bahagian tersebut.\u00a0\n\n\nAnda sebagai pelanggan mempunyai hak untuk meminta menanggalkan semua apa yang dipasang dan tidak membayar apa yang telah dibaiki kerana itu sudah melanggar Akta Perlindungan Pengguna iaitu melakukan servis tanpa persetujuan daripada pelanggan.\n\n\nIni adalah taktik klasik yang biasa dibuat untuk membuatkan pelanggan seolah-olah\u00a0 tiada pilihan melainkan untuk membayar saja kerja-kerja pembaikan yang telah dibuat.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJadi anda dah tahu apa nak kena buat apabila tiba-tiba ada mekanik buat onar dengan anda.\u00a0\n\n\nApabila dah dapat \u2018job order\u2019 dan anda dah bersetuju untuk kerja-kerja membaiki, ambil tahu juga tentang status kereta. Adakah rosaknya terlalu teruk ataupun rosaknya sedikit saja. Lama atau sekejap saja tempoh membaiki.\u00a0\n\n\nLebih-lebih lagi apabila anda tinggalkan kereta anda untuk tempoh yang lama disebabkan kerosakan yang dibaiki itu teruk. Jangan abaikan dan cuba untuk sentiasa bertanya apa status kereta yang anda dah hantar ke bengkel.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Banyakkan Bertanya\n\n\nKalau boleh, banyakkan bertanya kepada mekanik yang membaiki kereta anda. Dan kalau nak bertanya, biarlah soalan yang relevan dan berkaitan dengan kereta. Janganlah tanya soalan yang bukan-bukan, takut kena halau pula nanti.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAnda sebagai pengguna berhak untuk mendapatkan maklumat yang sepatutnya tentang servis yang anda langgan dan beli. Apa yang anda boleh tanya? Tentang isu yang terjadi, apa kerosakan, kenapa harganya begitu, berapa lama boleh siap, ada tak bahagian kereta yang terpaksa dipotong, barang ganti asal daripada mana, dan sebagainya.\u00a0\n\n\nDengan pertanyaan ini akan memberikan gambaran kepada mekanik bahawa anda ini seorang yang berpengetahuan serta tidak boleh ditipu sewenang-wenangnya.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nJangan Teruskan Pemanduan Jika 3 Lampu Amaran Kereta Ini Menyala!\n\n\n3. Setia Dengan Satu Bengkel Sahaja.\u00a0\n\n\nBukan hanya bercinta saja kena setia tapi bab bengkel kereta ni pun kena setia juga. Kalau anda dah selalu datang ke satu bengkel untuk baiki kereta anda, lebih baik anda setia saja dengan bengkel tersebut selama mana yang anda boleh.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nApabila anda setia dengan bengkel yang sama, mekanik yang menipu anda pun rasa serba salah sebab anda dah jadi pelanggan setia yang selalu datang kalau ada apa-apa masalah dengan kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\nKalau mereka cuba nak tipu, mesti anda akan perasan dengan cepat disebabkan anda dah pun tahu caj-caj pembaikan yang akan dikenakan. Jadi, mereka pun tak berani nak \u2018ketuk\u2019 anda.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Belajar Pasal Kereta\n\n\nKalau anda boleh habiskan masa berjam-jam menonton video Tiktok, mesti anda ada masa untuk tonton video tentang penjagaan kereta, kan? Belajar sendiri sendiri tentang penjagaan dan asas-asas kereta sangat membantu anda.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTak perlu nak belajar sampai anda boleh baiki kereta anda sendiri, tapi sekadar cukup untuk anda tahu bahagian-bahagian kereta. Kebanyakan yang menjadi mangsa kepada bengkel adalah mereka yang tidak tahu tentang kereta terutamanya kaum wanita.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nCara Menjaga Kereta Anda dan Mengapa Ia Perlu Dijaga\n\n\nAkses maklumat pun dah mudah. Terlalu banyak video tentang kereta yang ada di platform video seperti Youtube. Laburkan sedikit masa dan data internet untuk menjadikan diri anda seorang yang ada pengetahuan asas. Barulah mekanik pun tak berani nak tipu anda.\u00a0\n\n\nSegala perkongsian ini diharapkan boleh membantu anda daripada terus menjadi mangsa penipuan bengkel-bengkel ini.

Today, the new Yaris is assembled alongside the Vios in UMW\u2019s manufacturing plant in Bukit Raja, Klang.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n \n\n\nUnlike the previous generations where the Yaris was only available as a hatchback, the sedan bodystyle followed which now takes the Vios nameplate in Malaysia. Visually both the Vios and Yaris share the similar front design but with eyes around the side and rear is where the differences start. Inside, the cabin is the same on both \u2013 the dashboard design, trim and colours.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nStandard safety\n\n\n\n\nNevertheless, the Yaris\u2019 features with the Vios are almost identical all round. This includes the three variant types, interior features and the active and passive safety list on all variants \u2013 ABS with EBD and Brake Assist, VSC with Traction Control and Hill-start Assist Control, 7 SRS Airbags, and Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert (on the G spec only). Prices are RM 70,888, RM 76,888 and RM 83,888 for the Yaris J, E and G specs respectively.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Drive\n\n\n \n \n\n\nMechanically it\u2019s the identical 1.5-litre Dual VVT-I engine on the Vios that outputs 106 hp and 140 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm and paired to a CVT with 7-speed Sport Sequential Shiftmatic. As for the 1.5G variant we sampled on the day, there\u2019s quite enough of equipment to be satisfied with. The only thing we felt that lacked is the absence of a telescopic steering wheel that allows a better seated position based on our height.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nBut everything else goes up from there. Toyota has positioned the Yaris as a sporty and young hatchback. Yet the comfort level is relatively decent \u2013 acoustic windshield and insulation has been increased; all to reduce the outside noise.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n\n\nIn terms of driving dynamics, the Yaris does shine better compared to the Vios. While both vehicles are essentially similar in weight and mechanics, Toyota has stiffened this one; making the Yaris more confident with less roll around fast corners. Taking the B-roads on Jalan Gombak towards Janda Baik proved to be an enjoyable one. With the drive mode put on Sport and transmission to manual, the CVT pulls power long enough to get things right.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhat we think\n\n\n \n \n \n\n\nWe are thrilled that there\u2019s a new hatchback in this category and at this price. We\u2019ve been too used with the common offerings locally that we think Toyota has done the market better by offering the Yaris. What we think is the best variant between the three is the mid E variant. It has all the features the G has, except for the exclusion of rear disc brakes, Optitron and Multi-information display, leather on the steering wheel and shift knob, as well as 2 less speakers. What does this equate to? \nRM 7,000 in savings\n and \nRM 76,888 for the 1.5E spec\n.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nPrefer a sedan bodystyle instead? \nClick here\n for more detail on the latest Toyota Vios!\n\n\nOr a hatchback with more serious power? \nRenault\u2019s 4th generation Megane RS 280 Cup\n should do the trick!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car through Carsome when you\u2019re ready for that new ride!\n\n", "Tags\nDriving\nReviews\nTest Drive", "Written by Carsome Editorial", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Meskipun membeli kereta baharu merupakan suatu perkara yang menyeronokkan, proses untuk menjual kereta lama boleh memeningkan anda sekiranya tidak diperhalusi dengan betul. Sama ada anda perlu menjual kereta lama untuk memberi ruang kepada kereta baharu yang lebih baik atau menjual kereta lama anda kerana anda tidak lagi memerlukannya, pilihan seperti \ntrade in\n kereta lama secara terus kepada pengedar atau jual dan beli kereta anda secara berasingan mungkin antara pilihan yang boleh dipertimbangkan.\n\n\nSecara amnya, pilihan untuk \ntrade in\n kereta lama secara terus kepada pengedar atau jual dan beli kereta anda secara berasingan merupakan pilihan yang bijak. Apa yang penting, kenal pasti faktor-faktor penting sebelum \njual, beli secara berasingan atau \ntrade in\n kereta lama\n anda \u2013 adakah proses jual beli lebih senang diuruskan sendiri atau lebih mudah menyerahkan keseluruhan proses kepada pengedar bagi pihak anda? Dan sudah semestinya, pilihan-pilihan ini bergantung sepenuhnya pada kekangan masa, kewangan, keperluan, kehendak dan penilaian risiko yang perlu ditanggung oleh anda.\n\n\n\n\nJual, Beli Kereta Berasingan atau \nTrade-in\n Kereta:\n\n\nPilihan Manakah yang Terbaik untuk Anda?\n\n\nDi Malaysia misalnya, banyak cara yang boleh anda lakukan untuk menjual kereta lama anda. Anda boleh mempertimbangkan pilihan-pilihan semasa yang ada seperti trade in kereta lama anda, dan beli kereta baharu secara terus daripada pengedar kereta yang sama atau menjual kepada pengedar atau pembeli secara berasingan. Sudah semestinya, pilihan-pilihan ini tertakluk pada kebaikan dan keburukan yang tersendiri. Oleh sebab itu, Carsome menyenaraikan kebaikan dan keburukan bagi kedua-dua pilihan ini untuk panduan dan rujukan anda:\n\n\nPilihan #1 Jual, Beli Kereta Berasingan\n\n\nProses membeli kereta baharu semestinya suatu proses yang menyeronokkan. Namun begitu, urusan untuk \u2018melupuskan\u2019 kereta lama anda mungkin sedikit memeningkan lebih-lebih lagi jika anda tidak pasti pilihan mana yang tepat dan sesuai untuk anda. Apa yang penting, kenal pasti keperluan anda. Jika nilai jualan yang tinggi menjadi keutamaan anda, pilihan untuk jual dan beli kereta secara berasingan mungkin pilihan yang tepat untuk anda.\n\n\nKebaikan \u2013 Margin Keuntungan Mengikut Keperluan Anda, Pilihan Kereta yang Lebih Luas\n\n\nJika dibandingkan dengan pilihan\n trade in\n kereta, jual atau beli kereta secara berasingan berpotensi untuk menerima kadar harga yang lebih tinggi setanding dengan harga pasaran semasa. Ini kerana, pemilik mempunyai kawalan penuh terhadap kereta yang dimiliki dan boleh menentukan margin keutungan yang sesuai untuk kereta yang ingin dijual. Dalam erti kata lain, pemilik boleh memilih tawaran harga terbaik yang diterima untuk kereta yang ingin dijual.\n\n\nSelain itu, sekiranya anda memilih untuk jual atau beli kereta secara berasingan, anda tidak terikat dengan inventori kereta yang tersedia di pusat jualan pilihan sahaja. Ini bermaksud, anda boleh mencari kereta idaman yang sesuai dan berbaloi bergantung pada bajet anda dan tidak terhad kepada satu lokasi sahaja. Berbanding proses\n trade in\n kereta lama, pembeli terikat dengan inventori sedia ada dan pilihan yang terhad di pusat jualan pilihan. Oleh itu, ia mungkin menyukarkan pembeli untuk mendapatkan tawaran kereta yang terbaik dan berbaloi.\n\n\nKeburukan \u2013 Dokumen, Proses Persediaan Perlu Disediakan oleh Anda\n\n\nSecara keseluruhannya, proses jual dan beli kereta bukanlah suatu proses yang mudah. Ia memerlukan kesabaran, komitmen, kerja keras, ilmu, masa, tenaga dan wang ringgit. Proses mendapatkan pembeli dan pengedar yang sesuai yang menawarkan tawaran harga yang berbaloi semestinya memenatkan emosi, fizikal dan memakan masa. Dalam sesetengah kes, proses jual dan beli kereta boleh memakan masa sehingga berbulan-bulan untuk diselesaikan.\n\n\nBukan itu sahaja, faktor-faktor ini juga perlu dipertimbangkan sekiranya anda mengambil keputusan untuk menguruskan sendiri dan jual dan beli kereta secara berasingan:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMembersihkan dan \nmembaik pulih kerosakan kecil atau besar pada kereta\n;\n\n\nMenentukan \nnilai pasaran semasa kereta\n;\n\n\nMenentukan margin keuntungan;\n\n\nMengiklankan;\n\n\nMenguruskan pertanyaan daripada bakal pembeli;\n\n\nMenguruskan pemeriksaan kereta dan pandu uji oleh bakal pembeli;\n\n\nMerundingkan harga jualan;\n\n\nMenguruskan\n proses pindahan hak milikan kenderaan\n dan penyerahan kunci;\n\n\nMenguruskan aduan (jika ada).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, anda juga perlu mengambil kira faktor-faktor lain sebelum menjual atau membeli kereta anda seperti proses rundingan, terma dan syarat yang perlu dipatuhi serta banyak lagi untuk mengelakkan\n kerugian atau penipuan\n. Malah, anda juga terikat dengan urusan dokumentasi yang mungkin memeningkan anda sekiranya anda \nmenjual kereta\n anda sendiri tanpa melalui mana-mana \nplatform jual beli kereta terpakai\n.\n\n\n\n\nPilihan #2 \nTrade in\n Kereta Lama, Beli Kereta Baharu\n\n\nSelain jual dan beli kereta anda secara berasingan, anda juga boleh mempertimbangkan pilihan\n trade in\n kereta lama melalui pengedar yang sama yang menjual kereta baharu kepada anda. Berikut merupakan kelebihan dan keburukan\n trade in\n kereta lama, beli kereta baharu secara terus daripada pengedar untuk panduan anda:\n\n\nKebaikan \u2013 Proses Jual Kereta Lebih Mudah, Dokumen dan Persediaan Diuruskan\n\n\nKebanyakan pengedar kereta membolehkan anda untuk\n trade in\n kereta lama apabila anda membeli kereta baharu daripada mereka. Pilihan ini menjadikan proses jual beli kereta anda lebih mudah dan cepat berbanding urusan jual dan beli kereta secara berasingan yang mungkin memakan masa sehingga berminggu-minggu untuk diselesaikan. Malah, anda juga boleh menggunakan nilai\n trade in\n kereta lama anda ini untuk ofset nilai belian kereta baharu anda. Ia secara tidak langsung menjadikan bayaran pendahuluan kereta baharu anda lebih rendah.\n\n\nSelain itu, urusan\n trade in\n kereta juga biasanya tidak memerlukan anda untuk menguruskan urusan berkaitan dokumentasi kerana ia biasanya diuruskan oleh pihak pengedar. Pihak pengedar biasanya akan menguruskan segala kertas kerja berkaitan tukar nama, hak milik kenderaan, \npemeriksaan puspakom\n dan sebagainya sehinggalah urusan membaiki kerosakan kecil pada kereta lama anda. Ia secara tidak langsung memudahkan dan menjimatkan masa anda.\n\n\nKeburukan \u2013 Harga Lebih Rendah Berbanding Harga Pasaran\n\n\nDari segi keburukan pula, nilai keseluruhan harga jualan kereta trade in biasanya ditawarkan pada harga yang lebih rendah. Malah, harga yang ditawarkan dikatakan lebih murah berbanding nilai pasaran semasa kereta anda. Ia juga dikatakan lebih berbaloi sekiranya anda jual sendiri kereta lama anda melalui platform jual beli kereta terpakai dalam talian yang tersedia.\n\n\nKebiasaannya, pengedar kereta yang menerima \ntrade in\n ini bukanlah pengedar kereta terpakai. Mereka perlu menjual semula kereta lama yang dibeli daripada anda kepada pihak ketiga. Oleh sebab itu, pihak pengedar biasanya menawarkan tawaran harga yang lebih murah untuk mempertimbangkan kos lain yang perlu ditanggung sebelum kereta anda dijual kepada pihak ketiga. Selain itu, proses \ntrade in\n kereta juga terikat dengan bayaran broker sekali gus menyebabkan nilai jualan lebih murah berbanding nilai semasa kereta.\n\n\nApakah Pilihan Terbaik untuk Anda?\n\n\nKedua-dua pilihan ini semestinya bergantung pada penilaian dan keperluan semasa anda. Bagi sesetengah individu, pulangan wang yang berbaloi adalah perkara yang dititikberatkan semasa menjual kereta lama. Dalam erti kata lain, semakin tinggi nilai yang diperoleh daripada jualan kereta anda, semakin murah kos yang perlu ditanggung untuk mendapatkan kereta baharu.\n\n\nNamun begitu, aspek-aspek lain seperti mudah dan cekap merupakan perkara yang tidak boleh dipandang remeh. Oleh sebab itu, ramai yang memilih untuk \ntrade in\n kereta lama untuk mengelakkan kerumitan dokumentasi, pembaziran masa dan kos yang perlu dihadapi meskipun ditawarkan nilai jualan pada harga yang lebih rendah.\n\n\nPerbezaan Antara\n Trade In\n Kereta atau Jual, Beli Kereta Berasingan\n\n\nBandingkan kedua-dua pilihan yang ada, kemudian buat keputusan yang terbaik untuk anda. Tidak kira sama ada pilihan anda adalah untuk\n trade in\n atau jual, beli kereta secara berasingan, pastikan anda mengetahui nilai pasaran semasa kereta anda. Ia adalah penting untuk mengetahui harga jualan yang sesuai untuk kereta anda.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrade-In\n Kereta\n\n\nJual Beli, Kereta Secara Berasingan\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPulangan daripada Jualan\n\n\nLebih rendah berbanding menguruskan sendiri jualan;\n\nMargin keuntungan bergantung pada pengedar.\n\n\nMargin keuntungan bergantung pada pemilik kenderaan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMasa Diambil untuk Dijual\n\n\nJualan boleh dimuktamadkan dalam tempoh seminggu atau kurang.\n\n\nJualan boleh dimuktamadkan dalam tempoh seminggu atau lebih bergantung pada keadaan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAspek Persediaan\n\n\nDilakukan oleh penjual dan pengedar.\n\n\nDilakukan oleh penjual.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPengiklanan: Kos dan Tanggungjawab\n\n\nDitanggung oleh pengedar.\n\n\nDitanggung oleh penjual.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPertanyaan\n\n\nDikendalikan oleh pengedar.\n\n\nDikendalikan oleh penjual.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiabiliti Selepas Jualan\n\n\nDitanggung oleh pengedar.\n\n\nDitanggung oleh penjual.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKesesuaian\n\n\nSesuai untuk individu yang ingin menjual atau membeli kereta dengan cepat;\n\nIndividu yang tiada masa untuk menguruskan pertanyaan, pemeriksaan kereta dan pandu uji untuk pembeli berpotensi.\n\n\nIndividu yang ingin mendapatkan harga jualan yang tinggi, setanding harga pasaran semasa;\n\nSesuai untuk individu yang berkelapangan untuk menguruskan pertanyaan, pemeriksaan kereta dan pandu uji untuk pembeli berpotensi;\n\n\nIndividu yang tidak memerlukan kereta baharu untuk menggantikan kereta yang dijual.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNilai pasaran kereta biasanya tertakluk pada jarak tempuh atau had perbatuan, keadaan kereta dan faktor-faktor lain yang mempengaruhi nilai pasaran. Tetapi secara amnya, \nkereta susut nilai\n \nlebih kurang 60 peratus daripada harga belian setelah lima tahun.\n\n\n\n\nJual, Beli atau\n Trade In\n Kereta Lama di Carsome\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda ingin mengetahui \nnilai pasaran semasa kereta lama\n anda, layari laman web Carsome untuk menempah slot pemeriksaan kereta secara percuma.

So, when the time comes to upgrade your car, the question that would plague most of us (if not all) is whether to trade in our old car or \nsell it directly\n.\u00a0 \nWhile finding your next car is easy as long as you know what you want, the next part of the equation may confuse you which is selling off your car for a new one.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTrading in your old car versus selling your car directly has its own advantages and disadvantages, but which route you should take all boils down to your needs. So, to make it easier for you we\u2019ve listed down the must-knows about selling your car directly and trading in your ride.\u00a0\n\n\nSelling Your Used Car Directly\n\n\nWhen it comes to selling your used car yourself, there are multiple ways to go about it. You can either sell your car through a used car dealer or to a direct buyer.\n\n\nAdvantages of Selling Your Car Directly\n\n\nCompared to trading in your car, you are more likely to receive a higher valuation for your car when you sell it yourself. You have full control of the price and if the situation permits, you can even wait out for a better price, one that you are satisfied with.\n\n\nApart from that, if you choose to sell your used car and buy a new car separately, your options for new cars are not limited to the cars available at the selected sales center only. You will have the freedom to find your dream car depending on your budget and the wide choices that you have.\u00a0 Therefore, it may be difficult for buyers to get the best and worthwhile car deals.\n\n\nDisadvantages of Selling Your Car Directly\n\n\nThe whole process of selling your car by yourself is tedious. It requires patience, dedication, and sometimes it may cost more. Dealing with potential buyers or negotiating from one dealer to another to get a quotation that you are satisfied with can be time-consuming, and for many car owners, this process alone can take months.\n\n\nThat\u2019s not all. There is also the negotiation process, while the legalities, as well as the terms and conditions, must be noted to avoid any dishonesty that could leave you with a shoddy agreement.\u00a0 Not to mention the paperwork that you will have to settle on your own (if you are dealing with a direct buyer).\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTrading in Your Used Car\n\n\nTrading in your used car involves selling your car and buying a new one from the same car dealer. The price of your used car will be used to offset the price of the new car, therefore making your new ride a much more affordable financial commitment. This might be the easiest way out of the two as it is the most efficient and convenient way to get rid of your used car.\n\n\nSome car dealers might also offer a higher trade-in value for your used car which may be able to cover the down payment of your new car. This practice is known as overtrading and here\u2019s an example to help you understand how overtrading works.\n\n\nA new car (RM100,000) would usually require 10 percent (RM10,000) as a down payment. In overtrade, the seller (dealer) will raise the car price to RM104,000 and, at the same time, it gives RM4,000 more than what the trade-in car is worth.\n\n\nNow, since the buyer needs a down payment of RM10,000 for the new car, he will now have an additional RM4,000 from his trade-in, making his down payment only RM6,000.\n\n\nTrade In Advantages\u00a0\n\n\nWhen you trade-in your car, you will do it at the same dealership as buying your new car. Since the buy and sell process only happens at one location, this saves you so much time and cost as the dealer handles everything for you. Unlike selling your car yourself, which might take weeks to complete (from the advertising, entertaining request to view and test-drive the car, settling the paper works to fixing any minor defects), all you need to do here is hand in the keys to your old car, sign some papers and you\u2019re done! It is also considered the safest option as all post-sale liabilities are transferred to the car dealer.\n\n\nBut do keep in mind that all this hassle-free convenience comes at a price, which is a lower sale from your car. This is actually quite reasonable if you think about everything the dealer would have to cover, from the costs to the risks.\n\n\nAnother advantage is the immediate benefit that you\u2019ll receive when you trade-in your car. This benefit can be used to offset your new car\u2019s price, making the down payment lower. The practice of overtrading as explained earlier also helps bring down the overall price of the car, which makes the whole process of getting a new car much easier.\n\n\nTrade In Disadvantages\n\n\nIn terms of the downside of trading in your old car, the overall price for your trade-in would be lower than when you sell your car by yourself. It would usually be lower than the \nmarket value of your car\n.\n\n\nSince these dealers are not used-car dealers, they would have to source for the price of your car from other used car dealers. Because of this, there is a high chance that you would not be getting the market value quote for your car. On top of that, if you trade-in your car at an authorized dealer, you will also have to pay the service charges.\n\n\nSo,\u00a0 Should You Sell Your Car Yourself Directly or Trade it in?\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nRegardless of which option you pick to sell your old car, it is first important to know the market value of your car to determine how much you can sell it for. The market value is determined but not limited to the mileage and overall condition of your car.\n\n\nWhile getting the most out of selling your car is important, convenience and efficiency is also just as important and should not be overlooked. So, if you value time and a hassle-free process, you should opt for trading in but if you are not in a rush to sell your car and don\u2019t mind doing things yourself, you should opt for selling your used car yourself.\n\n\nAlways remember, negotiation is the key to success (especially when it comes to selling or trading in your used car)\n\n\nBuy, Sell, or Trade-In Used Cars at Carsome\n\n\n\n\nIf you want to find out the market value of your used car, you can get it checked at your nearest Carsome Inspection Center for free by making an appointment online. \nCarsome\n is a trading platform that buys and\n sells used cars\n online by offering a safe, fast, and fuss-free service.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAll transactions are done fuss-free within 24 hours\n\n\nIt only takes 30 minutes to get your car inspected by our highly qualified inspectors for free\n\n\nReceive your payment in just one hour.\u00a0\n\n\nNo paperwork hassle\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nYou can also find a huge range of Carsome Certified used cars that are available for sale at Carsome.

Here\u2019s How to Transfer Car Ownership in Malaysia at JPJ & Online", "By\n \nDevan S", "04/10/2022", "\n\n\n\n\n", "So you\u2019ve decided to sell your car and upgrade it to something that better suits your needs. Most often, when you sell it to a used car dealer or a platform like \nCARSOME\n, we\u2019ll take care of all the necessary processes including transferring the car\u2019s ownership.\u00a0\n\n\nBut how do you do it if you sell to an individual buyer or gift it to a family member? You might be surprised but transferring your car ownership in Malaysia is pretty straightforward.\u00a0\n\n\nHere\u2019s how you do it.\n\n\n\n\n1. Pay Off Your Car Loan\n\n\nFirstly, if you still have an active car loan with the bank, you\u2019ll need to settle it. However, if the remaining balance of your loan is a lot, you can have the buyer apply for their own bank loan, and get their bank to settle the loan with your bank. If this amount is not enough to pay off your loan, do note that you\u2019ll still need to use your own cash to settle it.\n\n\n2. Take Your Car to Puspakom for Inspection\n\n\nAnother step you have to take before transferring your car ownership in Malaysia is to take it to Puspakom for an inspection. Make sure you make an appointment on the \nMyPuspakom website\n to avoid being turned away by them. Besides doing the inspection at Puspakom, you can also set an appointment for a mobile inspection where they\u2019ll come to your house to do it.\n\n\nRemember to bring your MyKad and original vehicle ownership certificate (VOC) or car grant. At Puspakom, there are several types of forms you\u2019ll need to fill up before you can transfer the ownership of your car. Here they are.\n\n\n\n\nB5:\n This form is for cars that have been fully paid off, and is required if the buyer (new owner) is buying the car in cash. You can learn all about the Puspakom B5 report \nhere\n.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nB7:\n If the buyer is buying the car with a bank loan, the B7 form is required in addition to B5.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nB2:\n This form needs to be filled up if your car\u2019s road tax has expired for over a year. The B2 form is also required if the registered vehicle owner is deceased or living overseas.\n\n\n\n\nOnce the inspection is over, an officer will issue you a report for each form that you filled. You\u2019ll need to bring all these reports to the Road Transport Department (JPJ) to complete the car ownership transfer. If you\u2019re transferring ownership of a motorcycle instead, you don\u2019t need a Puspakom inspection and can head straight to JPJ for the ownership transfer.\n\n\n3. Seller (Registered Owner) Heads to JPJ\n\n\nFinally, you can head to the nearest JPJ to finalize your car ownership transfer. Here\u2019s everything you need to prepare beforehand.\n\n\n\n\nYour MyKad;\n\n\nOriginal VOC or car grant;\n\n\nFull details of the new owner including full name, MyKad number, and address.\n\n\n\n\nOnce at JPJ, you\u2019ll need to fill in the JPJK3 form with both yours and the new owner\u2019s details. At the counter, you\u2019ll need to submit all the required documents including the filled JPJK3 form and do a biometric authentication (with your thumbprint) to complete the process on your part. The JPJ officer will issue you a confirmation slip which you need to hand over to the new owner for them to complete the car ownership transfer.\n\n\nYou can also download the JPJK3 form online \nhere\n.\n\n\nBut what happens if you need to transfer ownership of a vehicle from a deceased owner such as a family member? Check out \nthis guide\n to know more.\n\n\n\n\nExample of the JPJK3 form\n\n\n4. Buyer (New Owner) Completes the Ownership Transfer at JPJ\n\n\nWhile you can head to JPJ together with the new owner on the same day, you can also pass them the ownership transfer confirmation slip and have them complete the transfer on their own time. If both of you live in different states or can\u2019t meet up, you can pass a digital copy of the confirmation slip (scanned or photographed) to the new owner. Just make sure that the copy is clear.\n\n\nNext, the new owner needs to bring along their MyKad and a copy of the ownership transfer confirmation slip to their nearest JPJ. It\u2019s best for them to renew the insurance of the car beforehand as it will be canceled after you (the seller) have completed your part at JPJ.\n\n\nAt JPJ, once the new owner has filled in their JPJK3 form and completed the biometric authentication, they can renew the car\u2019s road tax and collect the new VOC from JPJ.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nHow to Transfer Your Car NCD\n\n\nHow to Do the Vehicle Ownership Transfer Online\n\n\nBesides going to JPJ, car owners in Malaysia can transfer their car ownership online by visiting JPJ\u2019s \nMySikap portal\n. MySikap allows you to complete a number of JPJ transactions without visiting JPJ such as the ones below.\n\n\n\n\nRenew and cancel your road tax;\n\n\nVoluntary transfer of car ownership or cancel your vehicle registration;\n\n\nRenew your driving license and appeal for an expired license;\n\n\nConvert a foreign, army, or police license to a regular driving license;\n\n\nUpdate your address or add more classes (B, D, etc.) to your license;\n\n\nCheck and pay for summons;\n\n\nCheck your vehicle blacklist or seizure status.\n\n\n\n\nBefore using MySikap, you need to obtain a reference number from your nearest JPJ to use during your first login.

Diskaun insurans ini akan diberikan secara automatik semasa pemilik kenderaan memperbaharui polisi insurans kereta. Biasanya, pemilik kenderaan yang tidak membuat sebarang tuntutan insurans dalam tempoh lima tahun pertama boleh menikmati kadar pengurangan diskaun sehingga maksimum 55 peratus. Selain menikmati kadar pengurangan harga, pemilik kenderaan juga boleh\n transfer\n NCD kereta lama ke kereta baru dengan syarat kereta baru atau kereta terpakai yang dibeli didaftarkan di bawah nama dan nombor kad pengenalan pemilik yang sama. Ia sekali gus membolehkan pemilik kenderaan menikmati kadar insurans untuk kereta baru pada harga yang lebih rendah berbanding harga sedia ada.\n\n\n\n\nNCD Kereta: Perkara Mengenai NCD Kereta yang Pemilik Insurans Kenderaan Perlu Tahu\n\n\nApa itu NCD kereta? Secara amnya, \nNo Claim Discount\n atau Diskaun Tanpa Tuntutan (atau lebih dikenali sebagai NCD kereta) merupakan satu bentuk pengurangan bayaran insurans yang ditawarkan oleh syarikat insurans kepada pemilik kenderaan. Ia berperanan mengurangkan kadar premium insurans kereta setiap tahun sekiranya tiada sebarang tuntutan insurans dilakukan dalam tempoh setahun pemilikan insurans.\n\n\nDengan NCD kereta, pemilik kenderaan boleh menikmati perlindungan insurans pada harga yang lebih rendah semasa \nmemperbaharui insurans kereta\n atau motosikal setiap tahun. Ia sekali gus menggalakkan pemilik kenderaan untuk lebih berhati-hati semasa memandu di jalan raya untuk mengelakkan pengurangan ini ditolak. Pada asasnya, pemilik kenderaan boleh menikmati potongan diskaun sehingga maksimum 55 peratus sekiranya tiada sebarang proses\n tuntutan insurans kemalangan\n dilakukan.\n\n\nSelain menikmati diskaun harga untuk insurans kenderaan, pemilik kenderaan juga boleh \ntransfer\n NCD kereta lama ke kereta baru bergantung pada syarat-syarat \ntransfer\n NCD kereta seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\nTiada sebarang tuntutan dilakukan dalam jangka masa 12 bulan daripada tarikh pembelian atau pembaharuan insurans kereta/motosikal;\n\n\nTiada sebarang tuntutan insurans kemalangan dilakukan oleh pihak ketiga ke atas polisi insurans sedia ada.\n\n\n\n\nAdakah Kemalangan Mempengaruhi Kadar NCD Kereta?\n\n\nSekiranya pemilik kenderaan terlibat dalam kemalangan dan merupakan punca kemalangan berlaku, ia semestinya akan menjejaskan kadar NCD kereta anda. Kadar NCD kereta sedia ada mungkin kembali kepada kosong peratus (0%) sama seperti tahun pertama pemilikan insurans. Ini bermaksud, anda mungkin perlu membayar kadar insurans yang lebih tinggi semasa pembaharuan insurans dilakukan. Meskipun begitu, perkara ini bergantung pada situasi dan keadaan semasa \u2013 ada sesetengah situasi kemalangan yang tidak memberi kesan pada NCD kereta sedia ada.\n\n\n\n\nBiasanya, dalam situasi kos pembaikan kereta lebih murah atau tidak melebihi jumlah pengurangan diskaun NCD kereta, pemilik kenderaan memilih untuk tidak membuat sebarang tuntutan dan \nmengeluarkan belanja sendiri\n untuk membaiki kerosakan disebabkan kemalangan. Jika mengambil kira faktor-faktor lain, kemungkinan kos pembaharuan insurans lebih tinggi pada masa akan datang jika NCD kereta kembali kepada kosong peratus (0%) .\n\n\nJika \npihak ketiga memilih untuk menanggung kos membaiki kerosakan\n tanpa melibatkan tuntutan insuran kereta anda, ia juga tidak akan menjejaskan NCD kereta anda. Situasi ini biasa berlaku sekiranya ia melibatkan kemalangan kecil yang tidak melibatkan kos yang besar.\n\n\nSekiranya kemalangan bukan berpunca daripada kecuaian anda dan perkara ini telah disahkan sendiri oleh pihak polis, besar kemungkinan NCD kereta anda tidak akan terjejas. Syarikat insurans biasanya akan membantu membuat \ntuntutan No-Fault Own Damage (NFOC)\n daripada syarikat insurans pihak ketiga sekiranya pihak ketiga tidak ingin bertanggungjawab ke atas kemalangan yang berlaku.\n\n\nJika anda memiliki \nperlindungan tambahan\n seperti \nwindscreen cover\n, NCD kereta anda tidak terjejas sekiranya tuntutan kerosakan cermin dilakukan. Namun jika anda tidak memiliki perlindungan tambahan sebegini, ia mungkin memberi kesan pada NCD kereta anda sekiranya tuntutan dilakukan.\n\n\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nProses Tuntutan Insurans Kereta dan Cara \nClaim\n Insurans Kemalangan\n\n\n\n\nKiraan NCD Kereta: Cara Kira NCD Insuran Kereta\n\n\nSecara amnya, kadar diskaun tanpa tuntutan (kadar NCD kereta) adalah berbeza mengikut jenis dan kelas kenderaan. Berdasarkan \nPersatuan Insurans Am Malaysia\n (PIAM), kiraan NCD kereta dibahagikan kepada dua kategori seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\nkenderaan persendirian dan syarikat;\n\n\nkenderaan komersial (motosikal, teksi, lori dan kenderaan khas).\n\n\n\n\nBagi kenderaan persendirian, kadar NCD kereta adalah antara 25 peratus hingga 55 peratus. Pemilik kenderaan layak menerima diskaun sehingga 25 peratus pada tahun kedua jika tiada sebarang tuntutan dibuat dalam tempoh 12 bulan pertama. Ia diikuti dengan diskaun 30 peratus untuk tahun kedua dan 38.33 peratus (untuk tahun ketiga). Untuk tahun keempat dan kelima, pemilik kenderaan akan menerima diskaun sebanyak 44 peratus dan 55 peratus masing-masing. Kadar diskaun ini dihadkan (\ncapped\n) pada 55 peratus tanpa sebarang kenaikan diskaun untuk tahun keenam dan seterusnya.\u00a0Anda boleh merujuk jadual NCD kereta berikut untuk maklumat lanjut:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTempoh \nNo Claim\n Pemilik Kenderaan (Tahun)\n\n\nKenderaan Persendirian (%)\n\n\nKenderaan Komersial (%)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPertama\n\n\n0\n\n\n0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKedua\n\n\n25\n\n\n15\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKetiga\n\n\n30\n\n\n20\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKeempat\n\n\n38.33\n\n\n25\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKelima\n\n\n45\n\n\n25\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKeenam dan seterusnya\n\n\n55\n\n\n25\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJadual NCD Kereta: Kiraan NCD Kereta (No Claim Discount) di Malaysia\n\n\nTransfer\n NCD Kereta Lama ke Kereta Baru: Bayaran Insurans Kereta Tahunan Lebih Jimat?\n\n\nAnda disarankan untuk\n transfer\n NCD kereta lama ke kereta baru. Dengan cara ini, anda boleh berjimat dan tertakluk pada kos perlindungan insurans baharu pada kadar harga yang jauh lebih rendah berbanding kos asal. Sekiranya anda tidak pindah NCD kereta lama ke kereta baru, anda perlu membayar premium perlindungan insurans baharu yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\nAnda boleh merujuk jadual perbezaan kiraan NCD di bawah dengan andaian anda membeli Honda City baru bagi menggantikan Perodua Myvi lama yang kini berusia lima tahun dengan anggaran kos perlindungan insurans kereta seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTanpa \nTransfer\n NCD Kereta\n\n\nTransfer\n NCD Kereta\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInsurans Kereta Lama (Perodua Myvi): RM800\n\n\nInsurans Kereta Baru (Honda City): RM4,000\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerodua Myvi: RM360 (NCD 55% daripada RM800)\n\nHonda City: RM4,000 (0%)\n\n\nPerodua Myvi: RM800 (0%)\n\nHonda City: RM1,800 (NCD 55% daripada RM4,000)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJumlah Premium Keseluruhan: RM4,360\n\n\nJumlah Premium Keseluruhan: RM2,600\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBerdasarkan jadual di atas, anda boleh menikmati kadar perlindungan insurans kereta baru pada harga yang lebih rendah sekiranya anda tukar NCD kereta lama ke kereta baru. Malah, anda juga boleh menikmati penjimatan sebanyak RM1,760 berbanding harga premium insurans asal RM4,360. Dalam erti kata lain, anda boleh menikmati kadar diskaun dan kadar penjimatan yang lebih tinggi sekiranya anda \ntransfer\n NCD kereta lama ke kereta baru.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nJenis, Harga dan Perbandingan Polisi Insurans Kereta di Malaysia\n\n\n\n\n4 Cara \nTransfer\n NCD Kereta Lama ke Kereta Baru\n\n\nBiasanya, pembeli kereta baru akan memilih untuk \ntransfer\n NCD kereta lama ke kereta baru. Dengan cara ini, ia membolehkan pemilik kenderaan membayar premium insurans kereta baru pada kadar harga yang lebih rendah berbanding harga asal. Carsome menyenaraikan panduan \ntransfer\n NCD kereta untuk panduan dan rujukan anda seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Sediakan Dokumen, Butiran Peribadi Lengkap\n\n\nBagi memudahkan proses, pemilik yang ingin pindahkan NCD kereta lama ke kereta baru disarankan untuk menyediakan dokumen-dokumen penting berkaitan seperti salinan kad pengenalan dan maklumat bank. Selain itu, pemilik juga perlu menjelaskan sebarang baki premium insurans kereta lama (jika ada) bagi membolehkan pihak insurans memproses permohonan pindah NCD kereta ini.\n\n\nBaki premium yang perlu dijelaskan biasanya bergantung pada tempoh sah polisi insurans kereta lama. Bagi urusan penjelasan baki ini, pemilik disarankan untuk menyediakan wang tunai yang mencukupi. Namun biasanya, sesetengah pihak insurans membenarkan\n\u00a0online transfer\n dilakukan.\n\n\n2. Hadir ke Cawangan Insurans, Isi Borang Pindah NCD Kereta\n\n\nKemudian, pemilik kenderaan perlu hadir sendiri ke mana-mana cawangan insurans atau berurusan dengan ejen insurans kereta lama. Sebagai contoh, jika urusan insurans kereta lama dilakukan dengan syarikat insurans A sebelum ini, pemilik perlu melakukan proses \ntransfer\n NCD kereta lama ke kereta baru dengan syarikat insurans A. Pemilik perlu mengisi maklumat yang diperlukan dan tandatangan borang pindah NCD kereta. Pemilik biasanya akan menerima satu salinan borang setelah proses pemindahan selesai. Borang ini diperlukan semasa proses pembaharuan insurans kereta untuk kereta baru dilakukan.\n\n\n3. Insurans Kereta Tamat Tempoh, Bawa \nCover Note\u00a0\n\n\nNamun sekiranya perlindungan insurans kereta lama pemilik sudah tamat tempoh, pemilik hanya perlu sediakan\n cover note insurance\n kereta lama yang memaparkan kadar NCD kereta paling tinggi. Bawa bersama \ncover note insurance\n ini semasa proses \nrenew\n insurans kereta baru\n dilakukan. Oleh sebab itu, pemilik disarankan untuk sentiasa menyimpan salinan \ncover note insurance\n dengan kadar NCD paling tinggi untuk memudahkan urusan sekiranya perlu tukar NCD kereta pada masa akan datang.\n\n\n4. Periksa NCD Kereta untuk Kepastian\n\n\nSetelah selesai, periksa kadar NCD kereta baru. Pastikan segala maklumat dan butiran yang tercatat adalah betul dan semua maklumat penting dikemas kini dengan tepat.\n\n\n3 Punca Proses Pindah NCD Kereta Lama Tidak Berjaya\n\n\nMeskipun secara amnya NCD kereta lama boleh dipindahkan ke kereta baru, ia tidak bermaksud ia boleh dilakukan dengan sewenang-wenangnya. Proses\n transfer\n NCD kereta ini perlu dilakukan dengan mematuhi prosedur-prosedur tertentu dan tertakluk pada syarat-syarat lain seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Proses\n Transfer\n NCD Dilakukan Pihak Ketiga\n\n\nSelain itu, proses tukar NCD kereta yang dilakukan oleh individu selain penama asal insurans kenderaan boleh menyebabkan proses pertukaran ini ditolak. Proses \ntransfer\n NCD kereta hanya boleh dilakukan oleh penama asal insurans kenderaan yang sah dan tidak boleh dilakukan oleh ejen, \ndealer\n atau individu-individu lain.\n\n\nProses transfer NCD hanya boleh dilakukan antara dua kereta yang didaftarkan di bawah nama dan nombor kad pengenalan pemilik yang sama. NCD insuran kereta tidak boleh dipindah milik kepada individu lain.\n\n\n2. Tukar NCD Kereta Lama ke Pemilik Baru\n\n\nSecara asasnya, proses pindah NCD kereta lama ke kereta baru tidak boleh dilakukan jika kereta baru didaftarkan atas nama pihak ketiga yang berbeza dengan nama pemilik NCD kereta lama. Ini kerana, NCD insurans kereta pada dasarnya terikat pada individu, bukan pada kereta. Dalam erti kata lain, anda tidak boleh tukar NCD kereta yang didaftarkan atas nama anda kepada pihak ketiga atau selain daripada nama anda. Kadar NCD kereta hanya boleh dipindahkan kepada kenderaan baru yang didaftarkan di bawah nama dan nombor kad pengenalan pemilik yang sama.\n\n\n3. Pindah NCD Motosikal ke Kereta\n\n\nSecara amnya, kadar NCD kereta lama hanya boleh dipindahkan kepada kenderaan dalam kelas, jenis dan kategori yang sama sahaja. Ini bermaksud, anda tidak dibenarkan untuk pindah NCD motosikal kepada kereta atau sebaliknya.\n\n\nSemoga perkongsian artikel ini dapat sedikit sebanyak membantu memudahkan proses pindah NCD kereta lama ke kereta baru anda.

Berdasarkan laporan Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO), kematian akibat kemalangan jalan raya mencatatkan purata sekitar 1.35 juta orang setahun. Malah, menurut statistik Jabatan Siasatan dan Penguatkuasaan Trafik (JSPT), sebanyak 19,515 kes kemalangan dicatatkan di seluruh negara sepanjang pelaksanaan Op Selamat bermula Mei hingga Jun 2019. Selain itu, angka kes kecederaan dan kematian akibat kemalangan jalan raya turut dilaporkan meningkat sepanjang tempoh \nPerintah Kawalan Pergerakan Bersyarat\n \n(PKPB) berbanding Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP).\n\n\nKemalangan jalan raya boleh berlaku disebabkan oleh sikap pengguna jalan raya itu sendiri, keadaan kenderaan dan persekitaran. Faktor-faktor seperti terbabas, masuk laluan bertentangan, kecuaian, mengekori kenderaan terlalu rapat dan sebagainya merupakan antara faktor yang biasa berlaku. Oleh sebab itu, penting untuk anda terutamanya pemilik kenderaan memiliki insurans kereta untuk mengurangkan risiko dan kos luar jangka yang perlu ditanggung sekiranya kenderaan anda terlibat dalam kemalangan. Jika anda berada dalam situasi sebegini, anda mungkin boleh pertimbangkan cara lakukan tuntutan insurans kemalangan atau \nclaim\n insurans kereta ini sebagai panduan anda.\n\n\nCara Lakukan Tuntutan Insurans Kemalangan atau \nClaim\n Insurans Kereta Kemalangan\n\n\nJika anda terlibat dalam kemalangan jalan raya yang mengakibatkan kerosakan harta benda tanpa sebarang kecederaan fizikal, CARSOME menyenaraikan 5 langkah yang boleh anda ikuti untuk memudahkan urusan anda:\n\n\n1. Dapatkan Bantuan\n\n\nSejurus selepas kemalangan berlaku, berhentikan kenderaan anda di bahu jalan. Pastikan kenderaan anda tidak menghalang pergerakan lalu lintas. Sebaik sahaja keluar daripada kenderaan, periksa sebarang kerosakan yang berlaku pada kenderaan anda. Hubungi syarikat insurans anda atau talian khidmat pelanggan untuk membantu anda jika kereta anda mengalami kerosakan teruk dan memerlukan perkhidmatan trak tunda. Namun begitu, anda diingatkan untuk berurusan dengan pengendali trak tunda yang berdaftar dengan syarikat insurans anda.\n\n\nJika anda tidak pasti, dapatkan nama dan nombor pendaftaran pengendali trak tunda daripada syarikat insurans anda dan tunggu sehingga mereka tiba. Kebiasaannya, jika berlaku kemalangan, ramai pihak ketiga atau ejen trak tunda yang akan menawarkan perkhidmatan trak tunda ke bengkel milik mereka. Kekal tenang dan jangan sesekali memberikan keizinan kepada pihak ketiga untuk menguruskan kenderaan anda.\n\n\n2. Kumpulkan Bukti\n\n\nCatatkan lokasi dan masa kemalangan untuk memudahkan rujukan semasa membuat laporan polis atau proses tuntutan. Dapatkan butiran individu yang melanggar atau yang dilanggar oleh kereta anda. Ambil gambar kawasan kejadian, kerosakan pada kenderaan, nombor plat, cukai kenderaan dan kad pengenalan individu yang terlibat. Jika individu terlibat enggan memberikan kerjasama, nyatakan kepadanya bahawa di bawah seksyen 52 (1) Akta Pengangkutan Jalan 1987, anda mempunyai hak di sisi undang-undang sebagai orang yang dilanggar untuk mendapatkan butiran pihak yang melanggar. Catat maklumat-maklumat penting seperti:\n\n\n\n\nNombor lesen memandu;\n\n\nNombor telefon untuk dihubungi dan alamat tempat tinggal;\n\n\nModel dan nombor pendaftaran kenderaan;\n\n\nSyarikat insurans yang didaftarkan.\n\n\n\n\nUntuk mengelakkan individu tersebut daripada memberikan nombor telefon yang salah, minta individu tersebut untuk menelefon anda menggunakan telefon bimbit miliknya. Selain itu, pastikan juga keadaan persekitaran adalah selamat sebelum anda keluar daripada kereta.\n\n\n\n\n3. Buat Laporan Polis\n\n\nJika kenderaan anda masih selamat untuk dinaiki, segera pandu kenderaan anda ke balai polis yang berhampiran untuk membuat laporan polis. Sekiranya kereta anda rosak teruk, tunggu sehingga bantuan perkhidmatan trak tunda tiba. Laporan polis membabitkan kemalangan perlu dibuat dalam tempoh 24 jam dan anda boleh dikenakan denda jika lambat atau gagal berbuat sedemikian.\n\n\nPegawai Penyiasat atau Penolong Pegawai Penyiasat yang bertugas akan menjalankan siasatan awal seperti merakamkan percakapan anda dan saksi, mengambil gambar kenderaan yang terlibat dan mendapatkan dokumen-dokumen yang berkaitan. Kebiasaannya, keputusan kes akan dikeluarkan dalam tempoh 15 hari selepas kemalangan, manakala salinan laporan akan diberikan serta-merta atau tidak melebihi tempoh 3 hari bekerja.\n\n\n4. Maklumkan Kepada Syarikat Insurans\n\n\nAnda perlu memaklumkan kepada syarikat insurans anda dalam tempoh tujuh (7) hari dari tarikh kemalangan. Anda juga disarankan untuk mengemukakan tuntutan insurans untuk kos pembaikan kerosakan kenderaan anda secepat mungkin setelah mendapatkan salinan keputusan kes.\n\n\n5. Hantar Kereta ke Bengkel Panel\n\n\nMinta senarai penuh bengkel panel daripada syarikat insurans anda. Hantar kenderaan anda ke pusat servis kenderaan yang dipercayai bagi memastikan kerosakan kenderaan dibaiki dengan sempurna dan alat ganti yang digunakan adalah tulen. Jika kenderaan anda dilanggar, pihak insurans kereta biasanya akan membuat tuntutan ke atas insurans pihak yang melanggar anda.\n\n\ni. Tuntutan Kerosakan Sendiri\n\n\nIa merujuk pada proses tuntutan kerugian atau kerosakan pada kereta anda daripada syarikat insurans anda sendiri.\n\n\na. Perkara yang Boleh Dituntut\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJika kemalangan berpunca daripada kesalahan anda, buat tuntutan \nKerosakan Sendiri;\n\n\nJika kemalangan \nBUKAN\n berpunca daripada kesalahan anda, buat tuntutan \nKerosakan Sendiri \nKnock-for-Knock\n (bukan tuntutan pihak ketiga).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApa itu \nknock-for-knock\n? \nOwn Damage Knock-for-Knock\n atau OD KFK ialah kaedah tuntutan insurans daripada pihak ketiga melalui syarikat insurans sendiri. Dalam erti kata lain, kita menuntut bayaran daripada syarikat insurans sendiri dan pihak insurans akan menuntut semula daripada syarikat insurans pihak ketiga.\n\n\nb. Manfaat Membuat Tututan Kerosakan Sendiri \nKnock-for-Knock\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTuntutan insurans dapat diselesaikan dengan lebih cepat;\n\n\nAnda tidak akan hilang kelayakan Diskaun Tanpa Tuntutan (\nNo Discount Claim\n, NCD);\n\n\nAnda boleh menuntut ekses* dan\n loss of use \ndaripada syarikat insurans pihak lain.\n\n\nEkses \u2013\u00a0Amaun yang anda perlu bayar sama ada kemalangan berpunca daripada kesalahan anda atau tidak, syarikat insurans akan membayar baki tuntutan selebihnya.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nc. Perlindungan Komprehensif \u2013 Cara \nClaim\n Insurans Kereta Kemalangan Sendiri\n\n\nAnda hanya perlu mengemukakan dokumen-dokumen berikut kepada syarikat insurans anda:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBorang tuntutan yang lengkap;\n\n\nSalinan asal laporan polis, kad pengenalan dan lesen memandu (pemandu dan pemegang polisi) dan sijil pemilikan kenderaan;\n\n\nGambar kejadian kemalangan dan kerosakan pada kenderaan;\n\n\nDokumen polis yang menyatakan pihak yang dikompaun bagi kesalahan jalan raya.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nii.

Pampasan untuk Tempoh Pembaikan Yang Dianggarkan atau \nLoss of Use\n\n\nSelain kos pembaikan kerosakan, anda juga layak menuntut \nloss of use\n daripada pihak insurans. \nLoss of use\n merujuk pada amaun yang perlu dibayar oleh syarikat insurans pihak lain mengikut bilangan hari yang diperlukan untuk membaiki kereta anda seperti yang dinilaikan oleh \nadjuster\n (bukan berdasarkan bilangan hari kereta berada di bengkel). Anda akan diberikan wang pampasan bagi kos pengangkutan yang terpaksa ditanggung selama tempoh kenderaan anda tidak boleh digunakan.\n\n\nLoss of Use\n = Kadar Mengikut Resit Tambang Teksi atau Perjanjian Sewa Kereta X Bilangan Hari yang Diperlukan untuk Membaiki Kereta\n\n\nAnda disarankan untuk menyimpan segala bukti pembayaran seperti resit tambang teksi atau sewa kereta untuk membuat tuntutan ini. Kebiasaannya, proses tuntutan ini memakan masa 3-5 hari bekerja. Biasanya, pihak pusat servis akan menyediakan laporan lengkap beserta salinan dokumen yang diperlukan untuk memudahkan urusan tuntutan anda.

Kemudian, hubungi syarikat insurans anda untuk maklumat dan tindakan lanjut.\n\n\n3. Berapa lama tempoh menunggu untuk mendapatkan/menerima tuntutan sekiranya berlaku kecurian atau kemalangan?\n\n\nPemprosesan tuntutan kecurian atau kemalangan biasanya memakan masa 6 bulan atau lebih bergantung pada tahap kerumitan tuntutan. Namun begitu, tuntutan biasanya diselesaikan sebaik sahaja siasatan kecurian atau kemalangan selesai tanpa sebarang masalah dikesan.\n\n\n4. Apakah Diskaun Tanpa Tuntutan (NCD)?\n\n\nNCD atau \nNo Claim Discount\n merujuk kepada skim ganjaran untuk pemegang polisi sekiranya tidak membuat sebarang tuntutan dalam tempoh polisi untuk tahun semasa. Kadar NCD ditentukan mengikut kelas kenderaan iaitu antara 25 hingga 55 peratus untuk kenderaan persendirian dan 15 hingga 25 peratus untuk motosikal dan kenderaan komersial.\n\n\n5.

Sekiranya cermin hadapan kereta saya pecah, bolehkah saya membuat tuntutan?\n\n\nSekiranya ada anda membeli perlindungan tambahan kerosakan cermin hadapan, anda boleh menuntut penggantian cermin hadapan tanpa menjejaskan NCD. Sebaliknya, anda akan kehilangan NCD jika membuat Tuntutan Kerosakan Sendiri. Selain itu, anda juga disarankan untuk membeli semula perlindungan cermin hadapan setelah tuntutan dibuat kerana tuntutan ini hanya boleh dibuat sekali bagi setiap pembelian. Rujuk syarikat insurans anda untuk maklumat lanjut.\n\n\n8.

Apa itu Tuntutan Kerosakan Sendiri Tanpa Kesalahan?\u00a0\n\n\nSecara amnya, ia hampir sama seperti Tuntutan Kerosakan Sendiri. Namun begitu, NCD tidak akan terjejas meskipun pemegang polisi menuntutnya dengan syarat kemalangan tersebut bukan disebabkan oleh kesalahan anda dan anda tidak disaman oleh pihak polis.\n\n\n10. Bagaimana NCD akan terjejas jika saya membuat tuntutan?\n\n\nTuntutan Kerosakan Sendiri, tuntutan kecurian, tuntutan cermin hadapan atau pihak ketiga membuat tuntutan terhadap polisi insurans anda akan menyebabkan diskaun tanpa tuntutan atau NCD anda dikurangkan menjadi sifar. Namun begitu, NCD sedia ada tidak akan terjejas sekiranya anda membeli perlindungan tambahan seperti endorsmen 89 (cermin hadapan) dan endorsmen 111 (kereta persendirian). NCD untuk tuntutan kecurian akan dilupuskan tanpa mengira perlindungan tambahan yang dibeli.\n\n\n11. Adakah saya akan kehilangan NCD jika saya membuat tuntutan?\n\n\nAnda tidak akan kehilangan hak NCD anda jika anda membuat Tuntutan Kerosakan Sendiri Tanpa Kesalahan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerkongsian ini diharap dapat membantu anda sekiranya anda terlibat dalam kemalangan. Anda digalakkan untuk mendapatkan \npolisi insurans kereta yang terbaik dan komprehensif\n untuk melindungi diri, keluarga dan kenderaan anda dengan lebih baik sekiranya berlaku kemalangan atau perkara yang tidak diingini.

After all, with so many cars on the road and with new ones being released every year, it can be hard to distinguish between them. From \nsedans\n to \npickup trucks\n, each type of vehicle has its characteristic shape and is designed for different purposes.\u00a0\n\n\nBy knowing the types of cars available, you might be able to make better car purchasing decisions, identify a car when you need to, and maybe even gain a new appreciation for them. So if you\u2019ve ever wondered what is an SUV or what makes a coupe, read on. We\u2019ll discuss what defines each category and what makes it a good choice for you.\n\n\nSedan \u2013 You Can\u2019t Go Wrong with It\n\n\n\n\nA \nsedan\n, also known as a saloon is the most traditional and popular type of car around the world. This car body style typically has a three-box design, where the body is divided into three distinct sections: the bonnet, cabin, and boot. A sedan typically has four doors, two rows of seats, and a boot so it can often fit five people comfortably and has decent cargo space. This is what makes sedans one of the most favored types of vehicles, especially for families.\u00a0\n\n\nSince sedans generally have a lower center of gravity, good aerodynamics, and low weight, they handle better around corners and are less prone to tipping over than taller vehicles like SUVs. These characteristics also help modern sedans to be quite fuel-efficient making them a great choice for all kinds of buyers. However, some sedans, especially in the smaller segments can have limited head- and legroom, which is something to consider when shopping for a car.\u00a0\n\n\nThanks to the practicality and popularity of this car body style, almost all car brands have sedans in their lineup. They also come in various sizes from small A-segment to large D-segment sedans and beyond. Well-known sedans in Malaysia include the \nProton Saga\n, \nToyota Vios\n, and \nHonda Civic\n.\n\n\nHatchback \u2013 \nPracticality in a Compact Package\n\n\n\n\nA \nhatchback\n traditionally has a similar body shape as a sedan with four doors, a squared-off roof at the rear, and a flip-up boot door. This hatch-style boot door is what gives this type of car the name \u201chatchback\u201d. Hatchbacks are great for city driving thanks to their shorter length but they do tend to lack cargo space as most A- and B-segment hatchbacks have boots that typically fit one or two small suitcases.\u00a0\n\n\nThe tall boot space on a hatchback allows it to carry taller items. Plus, the boot is often expandable via foldable rear seats. And with some brands incorporating versatile configurations in their hatchbacks, such as with Honda\u2019s ULTRA seats, this type of car has the potential to carry a wide range of items despite its compact size. The compact size, ease of ownership, and versatility of hatchbacks make them popular among people from all walks of life as evidenced by the demand for the \nPerodua Myvi\n, Malaysia\u2019s best-selling car. Other popular hatchbacks in Malaysia are the \nSuzuki Swift\n and Mazda 3 hatchback.\n\n\nMulti-Purpose Vehicle (MPV) \n\u2013 The King of Versatility\n\n\n\n\nOne of the \nbest types of cars for families\n is the MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicle). \nMPVs\n tend to be taller than sedans and have a one or two-box configuration. They are designed as people carriers and can comfortably transport six or more people depending on the seating configuration. Some have regular hinged doors while others have sliding doors that are easier to operate in tight spaces. The second and third-row seats in MPVs are also usually foldable and can be configured in a number of ways to allow for increased cargo space. Some MPVs have seats that fold up against the side walls to allow the transport of tall items as well.\u00a0\n\n\nAlthough MPVs are not the sleekest type of vehicles around, they do have fans who love their versatility and style. Although they are generally large and boxy, MPVs are among the most customizable vehicles; you could kit it out with sporty body kits just like sedans, and even install monitors that your passengers can watch their favorite shows on. You could even drive down to the beach and have a picnic straight out of your MPV; just fold away the rear seats and you have ample space to prepare a meal and hang out in. Thanks to its space and versatility, the MPV is great for large families and especially avid travelers. Examples of top MPVs in Malaysia include the \nProton Exora\n and \nToyota Vellfire\n.\n\n\nSports Utility Vehicle (SUV) \u2013 Road Visibility and Comfort\n\n\n\n\nThe demand for \nSUVs\n (Sports Utility Vehicles) has grown tremendously in recent years. So what is an SUV? SUVs tend to have a similar shape to hatchbacks but with a larger body and higher ground clearance. This gives it a high center of gravity and a more commanding view of the road. With its large size and rear flip-up hatch door, an SUV provides a large, accessible cargo space that can fit tall items.\n\n\nModern SUVs like the \nHonda CR-V\n tend to be better suited for city driving as they are designed with passenger comfort, cargo space, and road stability in mind. However, there are other SUVs that are better designed to perform off-road like the Toyota Land Cruiser and \nSubaru Forester\n, which have all-wheel drive. Compared to sedans and hatchbacks though, SUVs are not as stable around sharp turns, so drivers need to be more careful when driving an SUV at higher speeds. Like other types of cars, SUVs come in multiple segments from the compact Hyundai Kona to the nine-seater \nMazda CX-9\n.\n\n\nCoupe \u2013 Fun on the Road\n\n\n\n\nA \ncoupe\n is a two-door car with a three-box sedan-like silhouette, a fixed roof, and a boot. As most coupes emphasize performance, they tend to be low and wide which helps with handling. Coupes usually have a long, sweeping bonnet, a short rear end, and wider doors which emphasizes its sporty characteristics. Additionally, they may or may not have back seats, and even on those that do, the back seats can be cramped for adults. Being performance-oriented, most coupes have high-powered engines and are engineered to handle well at speed.\n\n\nCoupes can range in size from the compact Audi TT to the large Mercedes S-Class Coupe. It\u2019s an uncommon car body style as it\u2019s not as practical as a regular sedan and often lacks passenger as well as cargo space. That being said, large coupes can usually fit four adults comfortably. But let\u2019s be real, if you\u2019re looking for a coupe, practicality is probably not at the top of your list. What you will get, however, is a car that turns heads and is fun to drive. A sporty coupe would make a great weekend car that you can drive on winding back roads or even on the track. Recently, manufacturers have started to name even their four-door cars as coupes if they have a low and sleek coupe-like styling, though they are still considered sedans. An example of a four-door sedan with coupe styling is the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe.\n\n\nConvertible \u2013 Drive with the Wind in Your Hair\n\n\n\n\nConvertibles\n are a type of car with a retractable roof that totally exposes the cabin when folded down. The roof can be made of various materials, with soft-top convertibles having canvas or vinyl roofs and hard-top convertibles built with aluminum, steel, or plastic roofs. Most modern convertibles have powered retractable roofs, though some have manual ones that have to be folded by hand.\u00a0\n\n\nConvertibles can have either one or two rows of seats and just like sedans, range from small to large cars, though most convertibles in Malaysia tend to be small, sport-oriented ones. Driving a convertible lets you feel the breeze in your hair but this type of car isn\u2019t great for the Malaysian weather where it\u2019s usually either hot or raining. If you do decide to purchase a convertible, make sure that the retractable roof is working and that the interior is not sun-damaged. Examples of convertibles include the BMW Z4 and Mazda MX-5.\n\n\nPickup Truck \u2013 Go Where Others Can\u2019t\n\n\n\n\nA \npickup truck\n is a type of vehicle designed to haul large items on various roads including off-road. It typically has a three-box design, with either a two or four-door passenger cabin and an open cargo bed. Pickup trucks sit taller than other cars and most of them have all-wheel or four-wheel drive to assist with off-road driving. They have a body-on-frame construction, with the body mounted onto the steel frame, unlike many modern cars and SUVs that have unibodies. This design allows pickup trucks to have a higher load capacity than typical passenger cars making them the go-to choice for business owners who regularly haul large items.\u00a0\n\n\nWith the open cargo bed, you can transport items of all sizes, even better than what an SUV or MPV can do. Although pickup trucks are synonymous with being gas guzzlers, modern ones have vastly improved fuel economy depending on the model and type of engine. If you regularly need to haul large items or travel to areas without proper tarmac, a pickup truck can serve you well. In fact, you can even pick up off-road driving as a hobby and explore the various trails available in Malaysia\u2019s rainforests. Popular pickup trucks in Malaysia include the \nToyota Hilux\n and \nMitsubishi Triton\n.\n\n\nWe hope this guide can help you better understand the basic car body types available in the market and maybe even give you an idea of the type of car you want to get next.

However, with their high costs and impractical nature, many of us think we\u2019ll never get the chance to own one or even drive one. After all, most high-performance sports cars cost north of RM300,000 with cars like the Lamborghini Huracan costing more than RM2,000,000.\n\n\nThat being said, there are actually many affordable sports car options in Malaysia that you can consider. These cars not only offer high performance and precision handling but are also attainable for many drivers. With prices ranging from around RM50,000 up to RM200,000, the sports cars on this list cost similar to many passenger cars, and have reasonable maintenance costs (on par with regular Japanese and continental cars).\n\n\nSo, let\u2019s check out some of the best affordable sports cars you can get in Malaysia.\n\n\n\n\nMazda MX-5\n\n\nOne of the best affordable sports cars in Malaysia is the \nMazda\n MX-5. Also known as the Mazda Miata, it\u2019s a compact two-seater sports \ncoupe\n designed specifically for fun and spirited driving. The current-generation Mazda MX-5 is powered by a SKYACTIV-G 2.0-liter engine that produces 181 PS of power and 205 Nm of torque. When you pair that engine with the MX-5\u2019s lightweight body and rear-wheel drive, you get a spirited car that you can chuck around corners on twisty roads and on the track.\n\n\nWhile a brand new MX-5 has a starting price of RM258,000, you can still get a pre-update one with the regular SKYACTIV engine for below RM150,000 on the used car market. That puts it in the same price range as regular passenger cars such as the \nMazda 3\n and Mazda \nCX-5\n.\n\n\n\n\nToyota 86\u00a0\n\n\nThe \nToyota\n 86 and its twin, the \nSubaru\n BRZ are identical sports coupes jointly developed by Toyota and Subaru and launched in 2012. Both cars were designed as back-to-basics sports cars with a near 50:50 front-to-back weight distribution and a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. That gives the Toyota 86 superb handling, allowing you to be one with the car while driving on twisty roads.\n\n\nIt\u2019s powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder boxer engine producing 200 PS of power and 210 Nm of torque which is more than enough for the average driver. To make weekend outings to the track easier, Toyota and Subaru have even designed the car to be able to carry four full-sized tires when the rear seats are folded down.\u00a0\n\n\nThe Toyota 86 has been replaced by its second-generation version: the GR86. However, since it has yet to be launched in Malaysia, you can find a used Toyota 86 or Subaru BRZ for as low as RM100,000. With its fun factor, practical versatility, and affordability, the Toyota 86 is one of the best affordable sports cars you can get in Malaysia.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nBest Off-Road Cars in Malaysia\n\n\n\n\nNissan 350Z\n\n\nThe \nNissan\n 350Z, also known as the Nissan Fairlady Z, is a two-seater sports car that\u2019s powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine capable of producing 287 PS of power and 371 Nm of torque, making it a serious sports car. Like the previous two cars, it has a rear-wheel drive that promises confidence-inspiring handling. Although it was manufactured between 2002 and 2009, it\u2019s reported to be a very reliable sports car which means owning one should be a fairly fuss-free experience.\n\n\nThe 350Z also has unique, aggressive styling that further highlights its sporty nature and is sure to grab attention on the road. With a used Nissan 350Z selling for around RM50,000, it\u2019s one of the best affordable used sports cars you can find in Malaysia.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAudi TT\n\n\nLooking for an affordable German sports car? Then the \nAudi TT\n is your best bet. This four-seater sports car offers modern styling and impressive performance in a compact, refined package. Being also a luxury car, you can expect high-quality trims and advanced features such as the high-definition Audi Virtual Cockpit instrument cluster, S Tronic dual-clutch transmission, and Audi Matrix LED headlights.\n\n\nThe 2.0-liter TFSI turbocharged engine in the Audi TT produces 230 PS of power and 370 Nm of torque which makes it a car that can only be pushed to its limits on the track. That being said, its plush interior and refined styling mean that it\u2019s a car that won\u2019t be out of place whether you take it to a coffee date or out running errands. While a new Audi TT starts from over RM280,000, you can get a used one for less than RM200,000.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nSigns of a Faulty Gearbox\n\n\n\n\nVolkswagen Golf\n\n\nThe \nVolkswagen Golf\n is one of the best-selling sports cars in the world for good reason. It has plenty of power to keep driving enthusiasts engaged while also having enough passenger and cargo space for the average family. Powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine producing up to 320 PS of power and up to 400 Nm of torque, the Golf is designed with performance in mind and doesn\u2019t disappoint.\u00a0\n\n\nIt\u2019s available in front-wheel and all-wheel-drive layouts which also makes it more accessible to drivers with various needs and budgets. A new performance-oriented Golf GTI and Golf R start from RM211,689 and RM356,412 respectively, but you can find a used Golf GTI for around RM175,000. With its price and practicality, the Volkswagen Golf is easily one of the best affordable sports cars you can get in Malaysia.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMercedes-Benz A 250\n\n\nMercedes-Benz\n makes some of the most prestigious luxury cars in the market. However, it also has an excellent value-for-money sports car in its \nA-Class\n lineup, specifically, the A 250 sports hatchback. The Mercedes-Benz A 250 is a great alternative to the Volkswagen Golf if you want a sports hatchback that boasts one of the best interiors on the market. Besides having a luxurious and high-tech interior, the A 250 has an impressive 2.0-liter turbocharged engine producing 227 PS of power and 350 Nm of torque which can definitely keep you happy during spirited driving.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you want an executive, luxury car that you can take to business meetings that is also able to satisfy the racecar driver in you, you can\u2019t go wrong with the A 250. The Mercedes-Benz A 250 is no longer officially sold in Malaysia, but a used one can range from around RM100,000 to RM200,000.\n\n\nRead More: \nBest Family Cars in Malaysia\n\n\nBuy CARSOME Certified for Peace of Mind\n\n\nWhether you\u2019re looking for a quality pre-owned sports car or \nSUV\n, you can find the one you\u2019re looking for on \nCARSOME\n.

Semuanya gara-gara bunyi ekzos kereta atau motosikal yang terlalu bising.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nMereka yang memasang ekzos dengan bunyi kuat ni selalunya bagi alasan untuk tujuan keselamatan, kononnya untuk memberi amaran kepada orang sekeliling bahawa mereka sedang memandu atau menunggang di situ.\u00a0\n\n\nSebenarnya bunyi kuat daripada ekzos boleh merosakkan pendengaran mereka yang mendengarnya. Kalau dahulu, memasang ekzos bising ini merupakan satu kesalahan trafik yang boleh menyebabkan pelaku dikenakan denda sehingga RM2,000 atau enam bulan penjara.\u00a0\n\n\nTetapi berkuat kuasa pada Mac 2021, kesalahan memasang ekzos dengan bunyi kuat melampau tidak lagi akan disaman tetapi digantikan dengan Notis 114 iaitu notis untuk temu siasat di pejabat JPJ.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nTanda-tanda Sistem Ekzos Kereta Anda Mungkin Bocor dan Bermasalah\n\n\nWalaupun bukan lagi dikira kesalahan yang boleh disaman, memasang ekzos yang terlalu bising ini adalah satu ubah suai yang menyusahkan dan boleh mengganggu ketenteraman orang awam.\u00a0\n\n\n4. Hon Berirama @ Tenonet\n\n\nBiasanya hon cuma ada satu bunyi saja. Itu pun dah cukup nyaring untuk bagi amaran kepada pengguna jalan raya yang lain. Tetapi ada pemandu yang mengubah suai hon kenderaan untuk keluarkan bunyi yang berbeza daripada hon biasa. Hon kenderaan mereka diubah suai sehingga boleh mainkan lagu.\n\n\n\n\nHon yang boleh mainkan lagu ni namanya hon berirama atau hon tenonet. Hon ni sangat popular dalam kalangan pemandu lori treler dan bas. Bila tekan butang hon, terus keluar hon dalam macam-macam irama dan lagu.\u00a0\n\n\nRamai yang kata, hon berirama ni sesuatu yang menarik tetapi sebenarnya hon ini tak sesuai digunakan di atas jalan raya. Hon sepatutnya digunakan untuk memberikan amaran kepada pengguna jalan raya yang lain. Tetapi apabila bunyi hon sudah berbeza daripada bunyi hon biasa, itu akan mengelirukan pengguna jalan raya.\u00a0\n\n\nDisebabkan itulah JPJ kerap melakukan operasi untuk menahan pemandu kenderaan yang menggunakan hon jenis ini. Setiap kesalahan boleh \nd\nidenda maksimum RM 2,000.00\n \natau penjara bagi tempoh tidak melebihi enam bulan di bawah Seksyen 119(1) APJ 1987.\n\n\nBerhati-hatilah sebelum anda buat keputusan untuk mengubah suai kereta anda. Pastikan apa saja ubah suai yang anda ingin buat mematuhi garis panduan yang telah ditetapkan oleh JPJ.\u00a0\n\n\nArtikel berkaitan: \nProsedur Lengkap Tukar Warna Cat Kereta atau Warna Kenderaan oleh JPJ\n\n\nBerpada-padalah dalam melakukan apa saja ubah suai. Ubah suai yang terlalu melampau boleh menjejaskan fungsi kereta dan boleh mendatangkan bahaya kepada anda, penumpang, dan pengguna jalan raya yang lain. Anda boleh jadikan tulisan ini sebagai panduan untuk anda mengubah suai kereta anda.\u00a0\n\n\nBeli Kereta Dengan Ketenangan Minda di CARSOME!\n\n\nKesemua kereta pramilik CARSOME didatangkan dengan jaminan pulangan wang dalam lima hari dan juga waranti satu tahun untuk ketenangan minda anda.\u00a0\n\n\nKunjungi CARSOME hari ini untuk kereta pramilik yang berkualiti tanpa sebarang caj tersembunyi.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n", "Tags\nekzos\nJPJ\noverhaul kereta\ntayar\ntinted\nubah suai kereta", "Ahmad Azwadie Azman", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Kebiasaannya, peraturan berkaitan lesen memandu adalah berbeza mengikut negara. Di Malaysia misalnya, pemandu yang ingin menggunakan kenderaan bermotor di atas jalan raya diwajibkan untuk lulus ujian memandu sebelum lesen memandu boleh dikeluarkan.\n\n\nUntuk anda yang masih belum memiliki lesen memandu dan sedang berkira-kira untuk menjalani ujian memandu, Carsome menyenaraikan harga lesen kereta dan motor terkini, langkah pendaftaran yang perlu dilakukan untuk mendapatkan \nlesen memandu\n \ndan maklumat-maklumat lain yang berkaitan untuk panduan anda.\n\n\n\n\nSyarat Asas untuk Mendapatkan Lesen Memandu Malaysia\n\n\nUjian memandu di Malaysia boleh dilakukan dengan syarat seseorang individu melepasi keperluan-keperluan asas yang ditetapkan oleh pihak Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ):\n\n\n\n\nKelayakan umur;\n\n\nTahap kesihatan bakal pemandu \u2013 sihat tubuh badan, boleh melihat dengan baik sehingga jarak sekurang-kurangnya 23 meter dan tidak buta warna;\n\n\nMampu memahami peraturan dan undang-undang jalan raya di Malaysia.\n\n\n\n\nBagi aspek kelayakan umur, seseorang individu yang ingin menjalani ujian memandu perlu melepasi kriteria umum minimum yang ditetapkan bergantung pada jenis lesen dan kenderaan yang ingin dipandu seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\u00a016 tahun dan ke atas \u2013 Lesen memandu (motosikal) kelas A, B2, B penuh atau C;\n\n\n17 tahun dan ke atas \u2013 Lesen memandu (kereta) kelas D atau DA;\n\n\n21 tahun dan ke atas \u2013 Lesen memandu kelas E hingga kelas I (memiliki lesen CDL yang sah).\n\n\n\n\nBagi calon OKU pula, calon perlu mendapatkan borang pemeriksaan kesihatan daripada mana-mana cawangan-cawangan JPJ berdekatan.

Selain itu, setiap kenderaan yang digunakan turut akan dilengkapi dengan kamera untuk mengelakkan penguji mengambil kesempatan termasuk mengagalkan ujian tanpa sebab dan alasan yang kukuh. Ujian tanpa penguji akan turut dilaksanakan dan tiada lagi ujian praktikal bersama kakitangan JPJ akan dilakukan. Malah, ujian komputer juga akan dipantau sepenuhnya melalui sistem video dalam bilik ujian.\n\n\nUjian Memandu: Cara Daftar Lesen Memandu\n\n\nUntuk anda yang ingin mendapatkan lesen kereta atau lesen motosikal buat pertama kali, Carsome menyenaraikan langkah-langkah di bawah untuk membantu memudahkan urusan mendapatkan lesen memandu pertama anda:\n\n\n1. Daftar Lesen Memandu\n\n\nAnda boleh hubungi Institut Memandu pilihan anda. Pegawai Pemasaran di Institut Memandu pilihan akan membantu menjawab segala persoalan dan menguruskan pendaftaran kursus untuk mendapatkan lesen memandu anda.\n\n\n2. Kursus Kurikulum Pendidikan Pemandu (KPP01)\n\n\nKursus KPP01 akan diadakan selama 6 jam dan biasanya dilakukan pada hujung minggu. Calon disarankan untuk berpakaian kemas dan sopan semasa mengikuti kursus ini.\n\n\n3. Ujian Komputer Lesen Memandu\n\n\nSetelah menghadiri kursus KPP01, calon perlu menduduki ujian Teori Undang-undang Komputer selama 45 minit. Markah lulus minimum untuk ujian ini ialah sebanyak 42/50. Jika gagal, calon perlu menduduki ujian ulangan. Anda boleh melihat contoh soalan ujian komputer lesen memandu \ndi sini\n.\n\n\n4. Lesen L\n\n\nCalon akan diberikan Lesen L (\nLearner Driving License\n) dalam tempoh seminggu selepas lulus ujian komputer.\n\n\n5. Kursus Kurikulum Pendidikan Pemandu (KPP02)\n\n\nKursus ini merujuk kepada latihan praktikal di dalam litar selama lapan jam. Bagi mendapatkan lesen motosikal, calon akan menjalani latihan praktikal seperti membuat pusingan 8, laluan titi, halangan kon, dan brek kecemasan. Bagi lesen kereta pula, calon perlu menjalani latihan praktikal seperti menaiki bukit, \nside parking\n dan ujian tiga penjuru.\n\n\n6. Kursus Kurikulum Pendidikan Pemandu (KPP03)\n\n\nSetelah selesai latihan memandu di dalam litar, calon akan menjalani Kursus KPP03. Ia merujuk pada latihan memandu di jalan raya di bawah pengawasan jurulatih berpengalaman Institut Memandu selama lapan jam. Borang belajar memandu (SM4) akan dikeluarkan setelah calon tamat menjalani latihan KPP.\n\n\n7. Ujian QTI\n\n\nCalon perlu menduduki Praujian sebelum menjalani Ujian Praktikal JPJ. Ujian ini akan dikendalikan oleh jurulatih bertauliah di Institut Memandu. Jika lulus, calon akan dibenarkan untuk menduduki Ujian Praktikal JPJ.\n\n\n8. Ujian Praktikal JPJ\n\n\nCalon yang lulus Ujian QTI akan menduduki Ujian Praktikal JPJ pada hari yang ditetapkan mengikut kekosongan Institut Memandu. Calon yang lulus Ujian Praktikal JPJ atau Ujian Memandu JPJ akan layak mendapat lesen memandu P. Manakala, calon yang gagal perlu menduduki semula ujian ulangan.\n\n\nSenarai Institut Memandu di Seluruh Malaysia\n\n\nCarsome turut menyenaraikan senarai penuh Institut Memandu yang berdaftar di seluruh Malaysia mengikut negeri sebagai rujukan anda:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKuala Lumpur\u00a0\n\n\nTerengganu\u00a0\n\n\nPulau Pinang\u00a0\n\n\nNegeri Sembilan\u00a0\n\n\nKelantan\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerlis\u00a0\n\n\nJohor\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSabah\u00a0\n\n\nSelangor\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPahang\u00a0\n\n\nKedah\u00a0\n\n\nMelaka\u00a0\n\n\nPerak\u00a0\n\n\nSarawak\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUjian Memandu: Harga Lesen Memandu (Motosikal dan Kereta) 2021\n\n\nHarga dan kos bagi mendapatkan lesen memandu adalah berbeza mengikut negeri dan lokasi Institut Memandu. Namun begitu, Jawatankuasa Pelesenan Institut Memandu (JKPIM) di bawah pengurusan Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan Malaysia (JPJ) telah menetapkan harga siling bagi yuran pembelajaran dan latihan pemanduan di Institut Memandu.

Walaupun ada yang terkejut kerana harga Axia baharu ini lebih mahal daripada sebuah \nPerodua Bezza\n 1.0 G yang lebih besar dalam segmen yang sama, namun sambutannya tetap hangat dalam kalangan rakyat Malaysia.\n\n\nBaru-baru ini WapCar ada menerbitkan video di mana Adrian telah memandu Perodua Axia 1.0 AV daripada Kuala Lumpur ke Pantai Klebang bersama Greg, Seline, dan dua orang jurukamera untuk mengetahui tahap keselesaannya dan adakah kereta ini betul-betul praktikal dan jimat minyak untuk penggunaan seharian.\n\n\n\n\nJom kita ikuti pengalaman geng WapCar memandu kereta hacbek kompak terbaru keluaran Perodua ini!\n\n\nPemanduan Dalam Bandar yang Sangat Selesa\n\n\nSemasa Adrian memandu Perodua Axia 2023 ini di sekitar bandaraya Kuala Lumpur, enjin tiga silinder 1.0 liter 1KR-VE yang dipadankan dengan transmisi D-CVT baharu ini lebih bersemangat dan tangkas untuk pemanduan dalam bandar. Ia juga dilengkapi dengan ciri keselamatan canggih seperti monitor titik buta, jadi anda boleh memandu dengan lebih yakin.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nSatu lagi perkara yang Adrian suka mengenai Perodua Axia baharu ini adalah sistem ampaiannya (\nsuspension system\n) yang memberi pengalaman memandu yang sangat lancar, bahkan ia mungkin lebih baik daripada sistem ampaian yang ada pada Perodua Myvi.\n\n\nTapi, satu perkara yang perlu diambil perhatian menurut Adrian adalah pedal minyaknya yang agak sensitif, yang memerlukan dia untuk berhati-hati apabila menekan pedal minyak.\n\n\nKekurangan Fungsi Praktikal untuk Pemanduan Lebuh Raya\n\n\nWalaupun Perodua Axia baharu ini mempunyai pelbagai ciri-ciri keselamatan dan teknologi yang sangat canggih, ianya kekurangan fungsi praktikal yang dapat membantu memudahkan pemanduan di lebuh raya seperti pembaca tol terbina dalam serasi SmartTAG yang ada pada Perodua Myvi atau pelekat RFID yang tersedia seperti Perodua Alza.\n\n\nPerlu diingati juga, Perodua Axia ini bukanlah sebuah kereta yang laju pecutannya. Mengikut ujian pecutan 0 \u2013 100km/j yang dilakukan oleh WapCar, Perodua Axia baharu ini mencatatkan masa sebanyak 14.7 saat.\n\n\n\n\nIa mungkin bukan sesuatu yang mengagumkan tetapi ia sebenarnya dua saat lebih pantas berbanding Perodua Axia generasi sebelumnya yang menggunakan transmisi automatik empat kelajuan dengan enjin yang sama.\n\n\nPerodua Axia baharu ini juga mampu memberi pengalaman memandu di lebuh raya yang lebih menyeronokkan dan meyakinkan berbanding dengan generasi sebelumnya, walaupun dipandu melebihi 100km sejam.\n\n\nIni disebabkan kereta ini telah dibina menggunakan platform Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) yang juga telah digunakan untuk Perodua Ativa dan juga Perodua Alza. Platform ini menawarkan peningkatan keselamatan, keyakinan dan casis yang lebih kukuh untuk menghasilkan pengalaman memandu yang lebih selesa, stabil, dan menyeronokkan.\n\n\nRuang Tempat Duduk yang Mencukupi\n\n\nPada pertengahan perjalanan Adrian ada bertanya kepada Greg yang duduk di bahagian penumpang mengenai pendapatnya tentang ruang tersebut. Untuk Greg yang berketinggian 184cm, dia masih boleh duduk dengan selesa di bahagian belakang.\n\n\n\n\nPenyandar kepala di tempat duduk belakang juga menjadi kegemaran Greg dalam perjalanan yang agak panjang itu. Satu-satunya keluhan daripada Greg adalah ruangan kaki yang agak sempit dan kusyen kerusi yang agak pendek.\n\n\nWalaupun tempat duduk belakang dipenuhi dengan tiga penumpang dewasa, Greg berpendapat yang ianya masih lagi selesa, biarpun terpaksa berlanggar bahu sedikit.\u00a0\n\n\nBagaimana Dengan Penggunaan Minyak Axia 2023?\n\n\nPerjalanan sepanjang 407.3km daripada Kuala Lumpur ke Pantai Klebang ini terdiri daripada 30 peratus pemanduan dalam bandar dan 70 peratus pemanduan di lebuh raya. Harga minyak untuk mengisi tangki penuh pula cuma RM45.61.\n\n\n\n\nApabila jumlah harga minyak dibahagikan dengan jarak keseluruhan perjalanan, kos perjalanan untuk setiap kilometer hanyalah 11 sen sahaja. Memang betul-betul jimat minyak!\n\n\nDalam penghasilan video ini, Adrian mendapati yang Perodua Axia 2023 ini mampu bergerak sehingga 18.3km untuk setiap liter minyak dan ia hanya memerlukan 5.46 liter minyak untuk bergerak sejauh 100km!\n\n\nKata-kata Akhir Daripada Greg, Seline, & Adrian Mengenai Perodua Axia 1.0 AV 2023\n\n\nMenurut Greg, penggunaan platform DNGA untuk Perodua Axia telah menghasilkan sebuah kereta yang kukuh dengan pemanduan yang unggul dan ruang yang selesa dan mencukupi untuk pemandu dan penumpang (yang tak terlalu tinggi) dengan kargo. Tetapi, pada Greg, Perodua Axia baharu ini agak bising dan ini menjadikan pengalaman memandunya agak kurang menyenangkan, lebih-lebih lagi pada jarak yang jauh.\n\n\n\n\nBagi Seline pula, Perodua Axia baharu ini sangat menyeronokkan untuk dipandu kerana saiznya yang kompak dan pengendalian yang sangat bagus. Cuma, Seline berpendapat warna merah (Lava Red) Perodua Axia tidak berjaya menyerlahkan reka bentuk luaran baharu kereta tersebut yang kini lebih cantik dan moden. Dia lebih menggemari warna biru (Coral Blue) baharu kerana ia kelihatan lebih menawan dan anggun.\n\n\nAkhir kata daripada Adrian, jika dibandingkan dengan kereta lain dalam lingkungan harga RM50,000, Perodua Axia mungkin tidak mampu bersaing dengan kereta daripada kelas lain yang mungkin lebih besar, canggih, dan berkuasa. Tetapi, dalam kelasnya sendiri, ia menawarkan teknologi dan ciri-ciri keselamatan yang paling canggih seperti enam beg udara, brek kecemasan automatik, dan juga monitor titik buta.\n\n\nBoleh dikatakan yang Perodua Axia memang sangat sesuai untuk dijadikan kereta pertama disebabkan harganya yang agak berpatutan dan juga ciri keselamatan yang mengagumkan. Tetapi semuanya bergantung kepada apa yang anda mahu dalam kereta yang anda akan beli.\u00a0\n\n\nKami harap perkongsian dari geng WapCar ini dapat membantu anda dalam membuat keputusan untuk mendapatkan kereta pertama anda.

We all know that. Hence, the process and justification that goes into that decision will carry some weight, usually measured in debt from the hire purchase loan.\n\n\nThe obvious first question to ask yourself is, \u201cCan I afford to buy it?\u201d That\u2019s a pretty easy one to answer. If you\u2019re a little uncertain on why it\u2019s a simple query, perhaps you shouldn\u2019t be looking into purchasing a car yet.\n\n\nYour car doesn\u2019t run on hopes and dreams; technology hasn\u2019t come that far yet. So, you\u2019ll have to maintain it. That\u2019s usually the second question to ask, \u201cCan I afford to maintain it?\u201d This isn\u2019t as straightforward since some new cars come with free maintenance packages for the first few years and some don\u2019t. Typically, the salesman or service center will have an estimated cost for the periodic maintenance and your better judgement should suffice in determining if you can afford to keep it running.\n\n\n\n\nNow comes the part that\u2019s not always a factor for some. We\u2019re talking about the car\u2019s rate of depreciation or resale value. Not everyone considers this a pivotal factor in the purchase of a car. To simplify it, some buy the car because they like it without considering too heavily into selling it down the road, while others are always looking to acquire a new set of wheels after a few years and will want to get the most back on their current car.\n\n\nIt\u2019s not rocket science or brain surgery in determining cars that possess a lower depreciation rate. They\u2019re usually from a mainstream brand such as \nProton\n, \nPerodua\n, \nHonda\n,\n or \nToyota\n and offer value for money, reliability, affordable maintenance, good fuel consumption, and carry decent safety tech.\n\n\nWhat Exactly Does a Car\u2019s Rate of Depreciation Mean?\n\n\nNo, it isn\u2019t the wear and tear over years of use; though that\u2019s a factor in the overall equation. For the layman, the depreciation rate is the difference between the car\u2019s original value when purchased new and the residual value at the time of sale down the road.\n\n\nWith the exception of wine, there aren\u2019t many products that get pricier with age. The same applies to cars. From the time it rolls off the showroom floor, the car depreciates in value as it ages.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nHere Are the Cars with the Best Resale Value in Malaysia\n\n\nThe rate of depreciation refers to how much of that value is lost over time. It differs from model to model and even between different units of the same model as various factors are taken into account. We\u2019ll take a look at some of these factors further down.\n\n\nTypically, the average depreciation rate hovers around 15 to 35 percent in the first year and tends to experience an exponential hike up to 50 percent as it enters its fifth year. Nonetheless, these figures barely qualify as gospel and is, at best, a rough guesstimate.\n\n\nWhy Does It Matter?\n\n\nIt\u2019s important to understand and know the depreciation rate of your car as it has massive consequences regarding the decision-making around your car.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re always looking to upgrade after some time, purchasing a car with a lower rate of depreciation will help when it\u2019s time to sell and get a new one as the higher value translates into more taken off the price of the new car. On the other hand, if you intend to hold on to it, the depreciation rate might not matter as much. This is usually the case with purchase of non-mainstream brands or segments.\n\n\nWhile accurately predicting a car\u2019s depreciation rate is black magic, certain factors and existing pricing of previous models will help. On the occasion that your car has depreciated more than initially expected, you might decide to hold onto it instead of letting it go and getting tied into a new loan.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nIs It Time to Sell or Upgrade Your Car? Here Are the Signs\n\n\n\n\n10 Factors that Affect a Car\u2019s Depreciation Rate in Malaysia\n\n\nAs mentioned earlier, the depreciation rate varies not just between different models but also between the same model itself depending on the condition. Judging by the factors here, you\u2019ll be a little better equipped to estimate the depreciation rate of your next automotive purchase.\n\n\n1. Reputation for Reliability\n\n\nYou just can\u2019t beat a solid reputation for clockwork reliability. At the end of the day, a car is essentially a mode of transport between two points. That\u2019s its primary purpose, getting you from where you are to where you want to go on demand. Therefore, cars that have a reputation for reliability automatically possess a lower rate of depreciation.\u00a0\n\n\nToyota has carefully curated such a reputation for the humble Corolla as people across the globe think it synonymous with reliability. On the opposite end of the spectrum, marques with questionable reliability will suffer a higher rate of depreciation.\n\n\n2. Service History\n\n\nCars are complicated machines that require periodic maintenance for the gears to continue turning smoothly. Strictly adhering to the maintenance schedule keeps everything in good shape and is a strong indicator of continued usage for miles to come. It\u2019s best to keep detailed records and receipts of the car\u2019s scheduled servicing, especially from an official service center. Do the same if work is carried out at independent workshops as well. A car with a missing or incomplete service history is an immediate red flag.\n\n\n3. Warranty Period\n\n\nCarmakers are increasingly offering longer warranty periods, going as far as eight years in certain cases. If the official manufacturer\u2019s warranty is still valid at the time of the sale, it will go a long way in retaining a higher sale price as the next owner can still make official claims if a component fails.\n\n\n4. Car Condition\n\n\nGood optics matter and a car that appears to be in good condition will always hold a higher value. Keeping the paint shiny and interior clean will complement a solid service history. A stained interior, faded paint or minor dents might not affect a car\u2019s ability to take you from Point A to Point B, but it doesn\u2019t exactly indicate an owner that\u2019s a stickler for overall maintenance and will cost you extra to have those issues rectified.\n\n\n5. Fuel Efficiency\n\n\nWith the potential rise in fuel prices, a fuel-efficient car will literally and figuratively take you the extra mile. If you travel a lot or your daily commute is extensive, getting a car that sips fuel can help you save hundreds, if not thousands, annually. Thus, it isn\u2019t surprising that most models with a lower depreciation rate also happen to be extremely fuel efficient.\n\n\n\n\n6. Consumer\u2019s Choice\n\n\nFashion isn\u2019t the only industry that sees trends come and go. Similarly, consumers\u2019 taste in cars change over time. The current trend leans heavily towards \nSUVs\n, especially compact ones. In fact, the \nProton X50\n dethroned the almighty \nPerodua Myvi\n as Malaysia\u2019s best-selling car for July 2022; no easy feat. Therefore, going for a body style that\u2019s popular with consumers will help keep the depreciation rate low.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nHow to Transfer Car Ownership in Malaysia at JPJ & Online\n\n\n7. Segment\n\n\nLuxury cars are notorious for high depreciation rates. Certain models from premium or luxury marques can depreciate close to 50 percent of their value from new in the first year alone. Models from these segments usually command a much larger servicing cost which is one of the factors behind that abysmal depreciation rate. While it might seem like an easy way to get your hands on the likes of a premium model, remember that your wallet might hurt more when it\u2019s time for a service.\n\n\n8. Mileage\n\n\nMany are under the notion that a low-mileage car is always better but that\u2019s not necessarily the case. A high-mileage but well-maintained car is a safer bet over a low-mileage one with a sketchy service history or uses non-original replacement parts. Ideally, a low-mileage model with a solid service history is the safest bet but don\u2019t fall into the trap of believing that a low-mileage car is the default best option.\n\n\n9. Number of Owners\n\n\nAgain, this factor isn\u2019t a deal-breaker for the very same reason that a low-mileage car is better. As long as the car is well-maintained and shows no signs of major accidents or other damage, it shouldn\u2019t matter how many previous owners there are. Most consumers assume that more prior owners must indicate a serious problem with the car but that isn\u2019t always the case. Therefore, this should be at best a consolation but not a deal-breaker in the decision-making.\n\n\n10. Specification\n\n\nMost models come in a number of different trim or specification levels with varying levels of equipment. Going for the most desirable trim will ensure that it holds its value better over the same model but of a lower trim. Occasionally, the flagship trim isn\u2019t always the one to get as it might just be cosmetic upgrades. However, if the difference includes a better safety suite, it\u2019s almost guaranteed that this trim will have a lower rate of depreciation.\n\n\n\n\nWhat is the Average Car Depreciation Rate in Malaysia?\n\n\nAs mentioned before, calculating the depreciation rate is closer to black magic than it is to a science. However, the graph for that rate is always exponential and very rarely linear. This means a new car will have a higher rate of depreciation in the first year as compared to five years later.\n\n\nFor example, a car experiences the highest rate of depreciation in the first year. That number could be between 15-35 percent or more depending on the segment. Following the first year, you\u2019ll be looking at a depreciation of between 15-25 percent annually. After the fifth year, the car\u2019s worth is approximately 40 percent of its original value.\n\n\nHow to Minimize the Depreciation Rate of Your Car?\n\n\nThere\u2019s no running away from it. The best you can do is keep the rate as low as possible. And to help you achieve that, here are some tips.\n\n\n\n\nFollow the \nscheduled service\n intervals as accurately as possible. Prolonging that oil change for a few hundred kilometers might not mean much but it could void the warranty or even indicate improper care to the next buyer.\n\n\nKeep extensive records and receipts of scheduled maintenance or unexpected repairs. Try to keep servicing with the official service center even if the warranty is over.\n\n\nImmediately repair any damage. Prolonging repairs could lead to other related components failing which could be catastrophic or just a larger financial burden.\n\n\nKeep the car standard. Very rarely do modifications, cosmetic or performance, actually lower the rate of depreciation. Even something as harmless as larger rims will mean more expensive tires when it\u2019s time for replacements.\n\n\nGo with a popular color. Gray, silver, white and black tend to hold their values better.\n\n\nGet the most sensible trim. Going for the entry-level trim might save you some money but it\u2019ll mean a lower resale value.\n\n\nSell at the right time before the price takes a huge dip. Usually, most people tend to push it around the five-year mark or before a new model is introduced.\n\n\nDon\u2019t skimp on parts. For instance, when it\u2019s time to change the tires, don\u2019t go for a lower brand to save a few bucks. It\u2019s not a good look to the potential next owner.\n\n\n\n\nConclusion\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking to avoid massive depreciation before your next purchase, a fairly new pre-owned car would be the best way forward as the majority of the first year\u2019s depreciation would have been absorbed by the previous owner.\n\n\nCARSOME\n provides one of the best avenues to acquire a pre-owned car with an assurance of quality courtesy of the 175-point inspection, professional refurbishment and 1-year warranty.\n\n", "Carsome Author", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Once a hallmark of the affluent, it\u2019s since benefitted from trickle-down economics and sashayed its way at a constant speed and distance into more entry-level cars.\n\n\nWhile \nMercedes-Benz\n was the first to plug it into their flagship S-Class sedan a few generations back, you\u2019ll now find it in the likes of the \nPerodua Ativa\n, \nProton X50\n, and \nHonda City\n among other models sitting below the \nRM100,000\n mark.\n\n\n\n\nWhat is Adaptive Cruise Control & How Does It Function?\n\n\nYou should be familiar with the feature Cruise Control. It modulates the car\u2019s accelerator to maintain the speed at a constant determined by the driver. ACC is essentially a more advanced system of that feature that controls the accelerator and brakes to maintain a preset distance to the car in front with a maximum speed tacked on if there isn\u2019t a car in front.\n\n\nFor instance, if the driver sets the speed to 120kph but there is a car in front going at only 100kph, the car with ACC will modulate the accelerator and brakes to maintain a set distance to the car in front.\n\n\nOnce that car moves out of the way, the system will accelerate to 120kph and maintain that until it comes up on a vehicle in front going slower than that figure.\n\n\nRead More: \nBuying a Car? Here Are 17 Safety Features You Need\n\n\nMany vehicles equipped with ACC are also packing Stop & Go functionality. This means that said vehicle is capable of coming to a complete stop if the vehicle in front does so and can then continue driving forward when the vehicle in front pulls away. Most of the time, for safety\u2019s sake, the driver will be required to gently prod the accelerator to get the car moving again from a standstill but won\u2019t be required to continuously apply pressure.\n\n\nThere\u2019s no witchcraft or wizardry at play here. ACC uses an array of sensors; usually Lidar (light detection and ranging) or stereoscopic cameras, to track the car in front. It not only tracks the speed but the distance as well to maintain the preset distance and then speed, in that order.\n\n\nWhile early ACC systems relied on radar or cameras, the laser-based Lidar has proven to be the go-to tracking method for modern ACC due to its accuracy.\n\n\nDue to the fact that ACC effectively removes one control aspect of operating a car, it\u2019s defined as a Level 1 autonomous vehicle feature. A Level 2 vehicle will be able to handle two control aspects such as ACC as well as lane keep assist.\n\n\nIn the event of the car in front performing an emergency braking maneuver, the Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) feature (if available) will kick in and bring the car to an emergency stop if required. The ACC will emit an audible and visible warning to the driver if the car in front brakes abruptly. In the name of safety, once the AEB has kicked in, the ACC will automatically disengage.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nProper and Safe Driving Attire\n\n\n\n\nThe intelligent cruise control button on the Proton X50 TGDI Flagship\n\n\nWhat Is the History of Adaptive Cruise Control?\n\n\nThe first semblance of ACC was debuted by \nMitsubishi\n on its Diamante sedan in 1995. Dubbed Preview Distance Control, the system utilized a Lidar and a camera to detect if the distance to the vehicle ahead was closing and would ease off the accelerator or downshift the transmission to reduce the car\u2019s speed.\n\n\nIts limitation, however, was the absence of control over the brakes. Therefore, if the distance to the car in front was reducing rapidly; as in emergency braking or coming to a complete halt, the system could only produce a warning for the driver to intervene and apply the brakes manually.\n\n\nNonetheless, the motoring world\u2019s wait for a proper ACC system came to an end in 1999 as \nMercedes-Benz\n introduced Distronic in the W220 S-Class. This would represent the first, true ACC as all Mercedes-Benz cars of the time incorporated stability control, meaning that provisions for autonomous braking were readily available and could be integrated with the ACC for full functionality.\n\n\n\n\nDoes My Car Have Adaptive Cruise Control?\n\n\nEven though your car\u2019s brochure doesn\u2019t explicitly use the term Adaptive Cruise Control, it might still carry the feature. You see, the marketing people at carmakers get paid a lot of money to whip up some exclusive-sounding names for what is, essentially the same feature, to distinguish their products from others.\n\n\nTherefore, ACC is polyonymous and is recognized by many names depending on the badge adorning the grille.\n\n\nToyota\n calls it Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, \nHonda\n uses the core ACC but with Low Speed Follow while \nVolvo\n dubs it Pilot Assist, and \nSubaru\n bundles it under the EyeSight banner.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nWill Electric Self-Driving Cars Be Feasible in Malaysia?\n\n\nIs Adaptive Cruise Control Safe to Use?\n\n\nIt\u2019s pertinent that you keep this in mind; ACC is a driving assistance feature and not full automation. The partiality of the system means it only assists the driver on the road but isn\u2019t commanding the operations entirely.\n\n\nIn simple terms, even with ACC functioning, you\u2019ll still have to be fully alert on the traffic ahead given that steering is still completely under the driver\u2019s purview.\n\n\nThe carmaker isn\u2019t liable for any accident you get into if ACC fails to operate as advertised so don\u2019t even waste your time giving your lawyer a call.\n\n\nA solid way to begin your journey with ACC (pun intended) is to understand the limitations of the system.\n\n\nFor starters, computers may be excellent at processing data but lack the cognitive skills required to differentiate between danger and safety.\n\n\nWhile ACC relies purely on the distance and speed to the car in front, the human driver\u2019s cognitive abilities allow it to process other tell-tale signs that the car in front might be getting on the brakes the next second or be making an emergency maneuver even before the system does.\n\n\nBy keeping our attention focused on the car in front as if ACC weren\u2019t present, our brain will be subconsciously processing other factors such as noticing traffic building up ahead, cars in the next lane beginning to slow down abruptly, or even the car in front swerving erratically. All this falls under the purview of being a \ngood defensive driver\n.\n\n\nFurthermore, ACC systems aren\u2019t 100 percent capable of detecting humans as well as other objects that might be an obstacle. This is precisely the reason you, as the driver, have to be fully attentive to traffic as if ACC wasn\u2019t functioning.\n\n\nTo sum it up, the verdict here isn\u2019t that the human brain is still better than the ACC computers but rather that the main purpose is for both to complement each other. With the human brain keeping an eye on foreshadowing traffic movements and the computers delivering braking quicker than a human can, the odds of an accident are greatly reduced.\n\n\n\n\nWhat Should I Keep In Mind While Using ACC?\n\n\nThere are a few factors to consider while operating ACC on your car.\n\n\n\n\n Always be fully alert and ready to react as if ACC weren\u2019t operating. Don\u2019t depend on the car braking as it might not detect the object in front.\n\n\n If visibility is hampered by poor weather, switch off the ACC. Reduced visibility can affect the system\u2019s sensors. Use ACC during bright, dry weather.\n\n\n ACC sensors don\u2019t always work around sweeping corners on highways. Therefore, in the event of an upcoming corner, be prepared to apply the brakes manually. Some carmakers claim their systems work around bends but real-world experience doesn\u2019t always tally up, so be alert.\n\n\n ACC is unable to detect objects such as toll barriers or those that have a similar contrast with the background (a container that\u2019s similarly colored as the sky).\n\n\n On the occasion that your car is ascending or descending a steep gradient, the sensor\u2019s range will be compromised as it only detects directly ahead. Therefore, it might not detect the car in front and speed up.\n\n\n\n\nConclusion\n\n\nACC is an extremely useful feature to have, especially on long, highway journeys. It can reduce fatigue and help you save some energy for the destination.\n\n\nThe only caveat is that ACC isn\u2019t fully autonomous and shouldn\u2019t be treated as such. Its main purpose is to complement the driver and therefore the human behind the wheel should be as alert as if the system wasn\u2019t available.\n\n", "Amarnath", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

While some cars are built with more high-tech audio systems, other cars aren\u2019t as lucky for various reasons, especially if you drive an old vehicle.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0So, if you are looking to upgrade your car\u2019s audio system, it\u2019s best you understand the different components, the tell-tale signs that your car actually needs it, and which parts you can work on.\u00a0\n\n\nThe Basic Components\u00a0 of a Car\u2019s Audio System\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0Car audio systems have come a long way since 1930 when Motorola introduced the first commercially successful car radio, the Model 5T71. Since then, this system has evolved from a mere AM radio receiver with a single speaker, to a more complex electronic system that produces music.\n\n\nHowever, no matter how complex an audio system is, it\u2019s always made up of three main components.\n\n\nThe Head Unit\n\n\n\n\nA home audio system uses separate electronic components like a radio tuner, CD player, preamp, and an amplifier that is connected to various cables. But in a car where space is limited, car manufacturers have to include as many of these components as possible into one device: the head unit. The head unit performs different duties but its main two functions are controlling the overall volume, which includes basic tone controls like bass and treble, and the different audio sources including the USB flash drive port and Bluetooth audio.\n\n\nThe Amplifier\n\n\nEvery car audio system must have an amplifier to increase the power of the audio signal so that it\u2019s strong enough to reach the speakers and create sound. It has two stages that are controlled by a preamp and a power amplifier.\n\n\nThe preamp is usually located inside the head unit and takes data from an audio source, converting it to the power amplifier. The process includes boosting the audio signal and making it compatible with the input of the power amplifier. The power amplifier then takes the preamp\u2019s low-level signal to significantly boost it, so it can move the speakers to create sound.\n\n\nThe Speakers\n\n\n\n\nThe speakers in your car take the amplified electrical signal and convert it into mechanical energy that pushes the speaker cones to create sound. It is a known fact that sound is made up of vibrations, but what you might not know is that the speakers are the ones that create these vibrations.\n\n\nHere\u2019s a quick fun fact: \nthe human ear is able to hear vibrations in a frequency range from about 20 Hz (very low bass) to 20,000 Hz (very high notes). \nBasic car speakers are designed to cover the entire frequency range but by trying to do this, the bass response is usually non-existent.\n\n\nNow that we\u2019ve covered what an audio system is made up of, the next step is to know if your car needs an upgraded version of an audio system.\n\n\nHow to Know if Your Car Needs a New Audio System\n\n\nBefore you jump the gun and buy a new audio system for your car, here\u2019s a test that can tell if your audio system needs an upgrade.\n\n\n\n\nSit in your car and close all the doors and windows.\n\n\nPut on your favorite song and turn up the volume. Don\u2019t be afraid of going louder than you normally would, but not to the extent of hurting your eardrums.\n\n\nListen to the music. If you find yourself having to turn up the treble due to lack of clarity, or if your bass sounds hollow and empty, it\u2019s probably time for an upgrade. Additionally, another sign is if the music sounds distorted or soft when increased.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nUpgrading Your Car\u2019s Audio System\n\n\nSo, how do you get started? Here are some questions to answer that can help you get on the right path before you upgrade your audio system.\n\n\n\n\nHow much are you willing to spend on upgrades?\n\n\nDo you want to improve the audio without upgrading your *factory audio unit?\n\n\nOr would you rather upgrade the factory audio unit with something new and better?\n\n\nHow important is the bass to you?\n\n\nDo you like listening to your music loudly?\n\n\n\n\n*Factory audio unit: Factory audio unit refers to the audio unit that was manufactured with the vehicle from the dealership when purchased new.\u00a0\n\n\nYou might be surprised at how the answers to these questions can lead you down different car audio system roads.\u00a0\n\n\nCar Audio Upgrades for the Budget-Conscious\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThere is no right or wrong way you can go about upgrading your audio system because it all depends on what you want. If you are on a tight budget and want to improve the quality of sound in your car, you can replace audio components one at a time as your budget allows. The first place to start is the speakers. Factory set speakers or coaxial speakers are usually quite basic, and by replacing the speakers with component speakers, you would be able to notice a big improvement.\n\n\nHumans are able to hear up to 20,000 Hz, and this spectrum is usually broken up into different categories, while each component speaker handles a different category of that range. Since each component speaker contains only one cone and one driver, they are able to produce high, mid-range, as well as low tones which are the perfect balance for your audio.\n\n\nCar Audio Upgrades without Removing the Factory Unit\n\n\nIf you love how your factory audio unit comes together in your car or if you have an old car model with an integrated audio system, there are some ways you can improve the audio without touching the head unit.\n\n\nThe first step is to replace your factory speakers with premium units that sound better and last longer than factory speakers. If you want to take it to the next level, you might want to install an amplifier that uses speaker-level inputs if your factory audio unit lacks preamp outputs. This basically means you will be able to turn your music up without any distortion as your amplifier will be sitting between your factory head unit and the new speakers. You can take it up a notch and add a subwoofer to provide you with top-quality bass.\n\n\nCar Audio Upgrades by Building a New Audio System\n\n\nIf you don\u2019t like your car\u2019s factory audio unit, you will need to decide on how you want to go about getting a new audio system. If you are building a system from scratch, you can either start with the speakers or the head unit. Next, determine the type of features you want from your audio systems like radio tuners, CD players, auxiliary inputs, and built-in components like amplifiers and equalizers. No matter which way you start, you will want to end up with a head unit that is able to power up the speakers fully.\u00a0\n\n\nCar Audio Upgrades by Adding More Bass\n\n\n\n\nIf the only thing that is missing from your audio system is bass, then all you need to do is to add a subwoofer. You can do it by adding an amplifier and a subwoofer or\n \nadding a powered subwoofer.\n\n\nA powered subwoofer with speaker level inputs is the easiest way to add bass as this unit brings an amplifier and a subwoofer into one unit which can be hooked to any head unit. But if you want more flexibility in controlling your bass, you can add an amplifier and a subwoofer separately. Either way, a subwoofer is the best way to get the bass and your heart pounding.\n\n\nCar Audio Upgrades by Cranking Up the Volume\n\n\nIf you like your sounds loud, then an amplifier is the component you need to add to your system. If you are not ditching the factory audio system, you will need an amplifier with speaker-level inputs, but some factory units come with line-level outputs. Always keep in mind that adding an amplifier might overpower your factory speakers. With this in mind, it\u2019s best to upgrade your speakers as well, if you want to turn it up to 11.\n\n\nUpgrade Your Car Wisely\n\n\nNow that you know what you need to do if you want an audio system upgrade, it\u2019s always best to remember to buy \ngenuine parts and accessorie\ns from trusted sellers and suppliers. Compared to genuine parts, fake spare parts are more likely to wear out faster or even fail altogether as these parts rarely go through the safety and quality assurance test that are mandatory for original parts.\n\n\nWe hope with this guide, you make sound decisions that will lead to hours of happiness in a car when you turn on your new audio system. \nFor any other used car services and news, do check Carsome out!

Nonetheless, the simple fact is that they\u2019re all limited by the last bit in that statement, the tires.\n\n\nThose four pieces of rubber are the only components of a car that are in touch with the road. The friction they generate from the four contact patches roughly the size of our palm allow the car to accelerate, brake and turn.\n\n\nThe car tires themselves aren\u2019t just rubber doughnuts that grip the road. They\u2019re a sophisticated construction of cables, rubber and select polymers, all molded into what we call a tire. Carmakers and tire manufacturers work closely to engineer and produce a tire that fits the precise needs of the vehicle whilst balancing grip, handling, ride quality, road noise and degradation.\n\n\n\n\nSo yes, the tires are arguably the most important aspect of a car.\n\n\nIn that respect, more tires should amount to more grip which in turn is better, right? After all, there\u2019s apparently no replacement for displacement, therefore bigger should always be better\u2026 or so we assume.\n\n\nThis begs a poke at the eternal question of, \u201cIs there such a scenario as too much of a good thing?\u201d Unfortunately, upsizing your car tires is one modification that benefits from \u201cmoderation.\u201d\n\n\nKeeping with the theme of moderation, going for a slightly wider tire will reap some benefits but too wide and you might find the cons beginning to outweigh the pros.\n\n\nWe\u2019ll take a look at how to go about discovering the sweet spot to upsize as well as the downsides of going too wide in a car that isn\u2019t going to be giving supercars a run for their money.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nTires: Fastest & Easiest Way to Tell a Quality Used Car from a Lousy One\n\n\nWhy Do Owners Upsize Their Tires?\n\n\nUltimately, people opt to upsize their tires for three reasons. Well, perhaps two and a half is more accurate. We\u2019ll get to that in a bit.\n\n\n1. Bigger Tires Look Better\n\n\nThe first reason is pretty shallow as it\u2019s purely for aesthetic reasons. That\u2019s right, it\u2019s all about looks. Most non-performance cars always appear to be a little under-tired, giving the impression that they skipped leg day.\n\n\nTherefore, most owners that step up to a wider tire do so in a bid to fill up the wheel arches a little more and have the sidewall of the tire line up closer with the edges of the fenders for that fuller look in the four corners.\n\n\n2. To Improve Handling\n\n\nMoving onto reasoning that\u2019s a little more substantial, the second purpose of upsizing the tire is for performance gains. Yes, a wider contact patch will translate into performance gains in the handling department but the limits rest with moderation.\n\n\nAnother option in the quest for tractional gains is to not upsize the tire but instead switch to a more performance-oriented tire instead. Retaining the identical size will ensure the instrument cluster readings and ABS calibrations still adhere to factory specifications and will work as intended.\n\n\n3. When the Stock Tires Come In Uncommon Sizes\n\n\nLastly, certain new vehicles tend to come with uncommon tire sizing from the factory. The reasons vary but when the time comes to replace the rubbers, it might be a little difficult to source the unconventional sizing. Even if the tire shop manages to acquire a set, the price might be on the steep side given its rarity.\n\n\nIn that scenario, many owners would opt to upsize into something a little more common that\u2019ll be easier to source down the road and maybe not take such a hit on the wallet whilst at it.\n\n\nRead More: \nChanging a Flat Tire Is Easier than You Think\n\n\nUnderstanding Tire Sizing\n\n\nThe best way to understand upsizing in a safe manner is to first understand how tire sizing works. This means knowing what the various markings on the sidewall of a tire means.\n\n\nOnce you\u2019ve understood these markings, you\u2019ll be one step closer towards calculating the right tire size for your car.\n\n\nYou\u2019ll notice that tire sizes for road vehicles come in a combo such as this, 215/45R17. Here\u2019s what the symbols on your car tire mean.\n\n\n\n\nTire Width\n\n\nThe first number indicates the width of the tire in millimeters. Here, that\u2019s a width of 215mm.\n\n\nAspect Ratio\n\n\nMoving onto the second number, that accounts for the height of the sidewall in percentage of the width. In this example, the sidewall of the tire will be 45 percent of 215mm.\n\n\nRim Diameter\n\n\nThe last number usually follows the letter \u2018R\u2019 and represents the diameter of the rim in inches. That\u2019s a 17-inch rim in this scenario. The \u2018R\u2019 indicates a radial construction for the tire, the norm for all modern car tires.\n\n\nLoad Index\n\n\nAfter these numbers, you will notice a combination of numbers and a letter such as 91V. The 91 here is the load index that is the tire\u2019s maximum safe weight carrying capacity. A quick search online will reveal the table that lists the exact weight each number represents.\n\n\nSpeed Index\n\n\nThat would be the letter \u2018V\u2019 in this example. The speed index is, as the name suggests, the maximum sustained speed for the tire when the vehicle is fully loaded. Again, a quick search online will bring up the table and the actual maximum speed that each letter indicates.\u00a0\n\n\nPros and Cons of Upsizing the Tire\n\n\nPros\n\n\n\n\nAs mentioned before, a wider tire translates into a larger contact patch with the road surface. This means more grip and technically, should reflect in sharper control and increased stability at higher speeds.\n\n\nIncreased traction isn\u2019t just a boon for faster cornering speeds, it also manifests as extra grip that helps with braking performance. A wider tire should lower braking distance and also possess a higher traction threshold before the coefficient of grip is overcome and the tire skids under extreme conditions, such as hard braking.\n\n\nSeeing that the height of the sidewall is correlated to the width of the tire, switching to a wider tire will mean going with a lower aspect ratio for the sidewall, or in simpler terms, a shorter sidewall. The benefits of this is less flex when cornering, meaning more predictable handling.\n\n\nWhile not as important, a wider tire will make the car\u2019s stance a lot easier on the eyes. A wheel arch that\u2019s more filled out will always be aesthetically pleasing.\n\n\n\n\nCons\n\n\n\n\nIf you get the tire sizing wrong, the upsized tire could result in miscalibrated readings to systems such as the speedometer, ABS, stability control and traction control. The tire\u2019s rotational speed is a key factor in the performance of these systems and a wrongly sized one could mean the systems fail to function as intended due to inaccurate inputs.\n\n\nWider tires will inadvertently be heavier. Not only that, the wider contact patch increases the rolling resistance as well. Both these factors will have a negative effect on the fuel consumption of the vehicle, as negligible as it might be.\n\n\nWeight aside, the heavier tires will increase the load on the engine and reduce the rate of acceleration. On more powerful vehicles, it might be insignificant but small, econoboxes that lack horsepower will notice the additional poundage.\n\n\nFrom a cost perspective, larger tires might be pricier. Although we did mention that rare sizing is a factor in upsizing due to the cost of sourcing a set of rubbers, the general consensus is that larger tires will be costlier.\n\n\nClearance might be an issue. If there isn\u2019t sufficient room in the wheel well, the wider tires could end up rubbing against the wheel arches under heavy compression or even against the suspension components on the inside.\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nRun-Flat Tires: A Complete Guide\n\n\nCalculating the Ideal Step-up Size\n\n\nThis is the most important piece of information to consider if you\u2019re going to upsize your tires. It\u2019s called the \u201c3 percent rule.\u201d\n\n\nEssentially, the rule states that the overall diameter of the new tire on the wheel should be within three percent of stock tire and wheel\u2019s diameter.\n\n\nBear in mind that the tire width and sidewall height are inversely proportional. If you increase one, the other number has to decrease to retain balance.\n\n\nFor example, if you do opt to go with a wider tire, the new tire\u2019s aspect ratio for the sidewall should be lower to maintain the overall diameter within the aforementioned 3 percent.\n\n\nThere are plenty of online tire width calculators that\u2019ll handle all the numbers for you. \nTiresize.com\n has one of the easiest calculators. Just input the standard and proposed new tire size to check if it\u2019s within the three percent rule.\n\n\nLet\u2019s take a look at this example of our calculation on Tiresize.com to better understand upsizing within the safe parameters.\n\n\n\n\nImage source: Tiresize.com\n\n\nBased on this example, if your car\u2019s standard tire size is 185/65R15, swapping to a wider 205mm tire will require the sidewall height to be lower to maintain the overall diameter. In this scenario, an aspect ratio of 55 for the sidewall in a 205/55R15 tire will yield an overall diameter of minus 2.4 percent which is still within the recommended three percent.\n\n\nConclusion\n\n\nAs you can see, upsizing your tire isn\u2019t as simple as just rolling up to the neighborhood tire shop and dropping some money on the widest rubbers they carry. It could be to the detriment of your car\u2019s handling and safety if done incorrectly.\n\n\nIn the long run, we would recommend retaining the factory tire size but going with a better tire.\n\n\nHowever, if you must upsize to a wider tire, stay within the three-percent rule and you will be perfectly fine. Anything beyond that is dangerous and not worth the trouble or money.\n\n", "Amarnath", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

BMW\u2019s sustainability manager, \nMonika Dernai\n said that holding onto older cars reduces production waste for newer vehicles. Furthermore, she added that they can be retrofitted with newer parts to keep them up-to-date with newer ones. If this isn\u2019t the perfect excuse to buy a classic, now\u2019s the time.\u00a0\n\n\nNow, if the thought of a\n BMW and reliability\n sounds like a mispaired match in the same sentence, your concerns are not exactly unwarranted. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve heard countless stories about BMW\u2019s notorious\u2019 check engine light showing up even in their owner\u2019s nightmares. However, in modern Bimmers these days, you\u2019d be surprised how BMW has managed to climb up to the top three most reliable cars according to an\n article by The Drive\n. But, with a recession in the near future, buying a used BMW sounds like a risky move. Fret not, at \nCARSOME\n, we have a selection of refurbished and reliable BMWs in our inventory to choose from!\u00a0\n\n\n2017 BMW 330e Sport Line 2.0\n\n\nStarting right off the bat, a hybrid is a great choice for a good start. Hybrid engines are famously preferred by environmentalists and wallet conservationists due to their fuel efficiency and performance. Powering this compact sedan is a two-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged engine that sings the same tune as the 320i which we will explain below. The engine dishes out 184 hp from 5,000 to 6,500 RPM, and 290 Nm of torque between 1,350 and 4,250 RPM as reported by \npaultan.org\n.\u00a0\n\n\nWhen you buy a hybrid car, you can bet that saving up on gas is the ace up its sleeve. \nAutobuzz reports the\n 330e gains a 2.1L/100 km, making it by far, the most frugal 3-series to date. This is due to the electrical motor doing most of the work, while the petrol engine kicks in when the car detects more power is required when you floor it. Fortunately, depreciation of this model has taken a dive like Kanye West\u2019s career, with some even going below the RM100K mark. The primary concern for BMW-made hybrids is battery replacement, which \nreports costing\n up to RM25K! Don\u2019t let the price tag scare you. In 2020, BMW has announced that they will be offering an 8-year warranty for all of their PHEV models and an additional two years to their extended warranty.

Ask any owner of the F30 3-series and you\u2019ll see plenty of owners complimenting its sporty design, powerful engine, and plenty of support in the aftermarket and spare parts around the world. The 320i serves as a middle ground for people who still stave away from hybrid models like the 330e earlier. This 320i is running fully on an internal combustion engine (ICE) for any enthusiasts looking to get into the world of the Ultimate Driving Machine.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More:\n \nWise or Foolish? Should You Buy a Used BMW 3 Series (F30) For the Price of a New Honda Civic?\n\n\nUpon launch, the Sport Line specification can be had for RM238,800 during its initial release in 2015. Seven years after release, used ones nowadays go for around half or sometimes even less. Unlike its hybrid sister where depreciation kicked in hard, the 320i still retains much of its value in the used market. Much of its merits can be attributed to its huge cult following and a popular platform for tuners in Malaysia.

Going against the likes of other hatchbacks like Volkswagen, and Mini Cooper, it\u2019s hard to imagine how a luxury brand like BMW, known for their sporty sedans and coupes, made a hatchback in this segment.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat sets the 1-Series apart from its competitors is its rear-wheel drive (RWD) layout, an uncommon feature in the C-Segment hatch. For context, hatchbacks are commonly found in either front-wheel or all-wheel drive layouts. Upon its release, reviews of the 1-Series have been nothing but stellar, most notably with the hatchback delivering the best \nbang-for-buck\n money can buy.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nAWD, FWD, RWD, and 4\u00d74.

The B38, inline-three engine dishes out a whopping 136 hp and 220 Nm of torque making it \nquick and nimble\n around corners. Just like the 320i, the 1-Series also prides itself on being an investment asset and a popular platform for modifications.

It then went through a facelift in 2017, which dropped the S+ variant. The most notable feature for both the pre-facelift and post-facelift City are the six airbags offered in the top spec, V variant.\n\n\nAt the time, the City\u2019s direct competitors were the \nToyota Vios\n, \nMazda 2\n, \nNissan Almera\n and \nVolkswagen Polo\n/Vento but none of them came with six airbags and Honda Malaysia was generous to provide them as you can\u2019t put a price on safety.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n2019 Honda City 1.5 V\n\n\nBrief Recap of Prices\n\n\nThe \npre-facelift \nHonda\n \nCity prices were as follows:\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nRM75,800.00 \nfor the \nS\n;\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRM78,800.00\n for the \nS+\n;\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRM83,800.00\n \nfor the \nE\n; and\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRM90,800.00\n for the \nV.\n\n\n\n\nThe \npost-facelift \nHonda City prices were as follows:\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nRM78,300.00 \nfor the \nS\n;\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRM84,600.00\n \nfor the \nE\n; and\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRM92,000.00\n for the \nV.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nA \nQuick Run-down on Honda City Specs\u00a0\n\n\nThe \npost-facelift\n Honda City has a lot more features that came as standard compared to the \npre-facelift\n model.\n Standard features\n included for the \nconvenience of the driver\n were\n keyless entry \n(which allows you to lock/unlock your car by pressing the button on the door handle), \npush-button start \n(starting the car with a push of a button instead of the outdated \u201cinsert and twist\u201d method), \nreverse sensors\n, \nauto-retractable folding side mirrors with indicators\n, \nmulti-info display\n, which provides information like your average petrol consumption, range of kilometers left, outside temperature, mileage, and a clock. It also includes \nBluetooth connectivity\n, \nsteering wheel audio controls,\n and\n Hands-Free controls\n as standard.\n\n\nThe engine remains unchanged, powered by a \n1.5-liter i-VTEC engine (120 HP, 145 Nm)\n paired to a \nCVT\n \ngearbox\n, which is known to maximize petrol efficiency. Styling-wise, the \npost-facelift\n Honda City came with a \nredesigned exterior\n,\n redesigned headlights\n \nwith LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL)\n and \nredesigned rims\n. For the \nV\n variant, it gets \nLED headlights\n, \nLED fog lights\n and a \nlip spoiler\n with an integrated LED brake light to make the car appear sportier.\n\n\n\n\nHonda City V Interior\n\n\nInterior wise, you get \nfolding rear seats\n to extend the boot space, \nradio/CD media unit\n for the \nS\n variant, whereas the \nE\n & \nV\n gets a \n6.8-inch touchscreen media unit\n, \nHDMI\n \nport\n (to connect your phone), \ntwo rear car charger sockets\n, \ncruise control\n (which assist the driver in controlling the speed of the car without the driver\u2019s input by setting a speed limit), \npaddle shifters \nto change the speed of the car (located behind the steering wheel) and four \nspeakers\n for the \nS \n& \nE \nvariants as compared to the \nV\n, which\n \ngets\n 8 speakers\n.

A fair price to pay would be \naround RM67,000 \nas based on the table above, you can get a \n2017 Honda City V\n variant for \nRM67,000\n with a mileage of 60,070 KM. With a 10% down payment, the estimated monthly payment is \nRM733 per month\n. Most people would rather look at a 2018 or 2019 model as it is newer and \u201cless used\u201d. \n\n\nHowever, this isn\u2019t the case as this unit has slightly more than 60k kilometres for a 6-year-old car. This means that the car only drove slightly more than 10,000 KM per year since 2017, which is considered below average. As reported by \nMalaysian Institute of Road Safety Research\n, the average mileage a driver covers in Malaysia is slightly more than 28,000 kilometers per year.\n\n\nOn the other hand, if that is out of your price range then the \npre-facelift 2014 Honda City \nis also a good purchase. A fair price to pay is around \nRM52,000\n and based on the table above, that can get you a \n2014 Honda City V\n variant, which is priced at \nRM51,800\n with a mileage of 64,757 KM. With the similar loan calculations, you\u2019re looking to pay an estimate of \nRM567 per month\n.\n\n\n\n\nHonda City V Rear\n\n\nWhich Honda City Variant to Buy?\n\n\nIt is highly advisable to fork out just a little more to get the \nV\n variant of the Honda City as that gets you the six airbags, whether if it is the \npre-facelift\n or \npost-facelift\n. The \u201clittle more\u201d is almost negligible when considering the monthly payments as you can\u2019t put a price on safety.\n\n\nWhat Are the Common Problems?\n\n\nThe Honda City has been Honda Malaysia\u2019s best-selling passenger car for a reason, and you do not get such standing without reliability. The most common problems in the \npre-facelift\n models were the rattling noises that came from the dashboard, which some users have made complaints to Honda Malaysia and they fixed it by inserting soundproofing foam into the dashboard. However, the \npost-facelift\n models improved on this issue.\n\n\nMechanically, there are no common problems here. A regular service and maintenance will keep the car problem-free. There is a reason why Honda Malaysia provides an unlimited mileage warranty for 5 years at the time as they are confident in the reliability & durability of the car.

That\u2019s why it\u2019s essential to use a baby car seat if you have a baby or toddler. Besides protecting your child from injuries during a crash, a baby car seat also provides proper support to keep them comfortable. Plus, it\u2019s required by law to install a baby car seat in Malaysia if you have small children in your car.\n\n\nWith all the choices of baby car seats on the market, we know choosing the right product can be overwhelming. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve listed the 10 best baby car seats available in Malaysia to help you decide.\n\n\nThe Importance of Using a Baby Car Seat\n\n\nThe Malaysian government has made it compulsory for parents to secure their young children in baby car seats since 2020. It has also introduced the Child Restraint System Purchase Subsidy Keluarga Malaysia Program (MyCRS) to subsidize baby car seats for Malaysian parents, especially from lower-income households.\u00a0\n\n\nHowever, many parents still don\u2019t realize how vital car seats actually are. Besides to comply with the law and avoid getting fined, installing baby car seats are essential in keeping your kids safe.\u00a0\n\n\nIn fact, children who are properly secured in a child car seat have up to a \n71 percent reduced fatality risk\n when involved in an accident. Here\u2019s why you need a car seat for your child.\n\n\n\n\nSeat belts are designed for adults. Children below 150cm will not be properly secured and supported during an accident. As a result, young children who use seat belts instead of proper car seats are more prone to getting flung ahead in an accident leading to serious injuries.\u00a0\n\n\nThe neck and spine of an infant under two years old haven\u2019t fully developed. They also have skull bones that haven\u2019t yet fused together. This leaves them extra vulnerable to brain damage from head injuries if they\u2019re unsecured during a crash. A child car seat that\u2019s correctly installed and used can protect your child from impact from all sides, thus keeping them safe.\n\n\n\n\nRead More:\n \nTips on Buying a Car Seat \u2013 Safety, Types, Etc.\n\n\n\n\nWhat Are the Different Car Seat Weight Groups?\n\n\nChild car seats are grouped based on weight according to ECE R44.03 or ECE R44.04 European safety standards.

Instead, you should get one that provides enough protection to your child and can fit into your lifestyle as a family. Here are some tips to help you choose the right car seat for your child.\n\n\n1. Make Sure Your Child Fits in It\n\n\nThe most important consideration when buying a baby car seat in Malaysia is whether it fits your child\u2019s body measurements. While you could buy a car seat based on your child\u2019s age, you should focus more on the weight and height of your child to ensure sufficient protection and support.\u00a0\n\n\nThe staff in most baby supply shops are trained to help you measure your child and help you select the right car seat, so make sure to consult a professional when you go shopping.\n\n\n2. Make Sure It\u2019s Compatible with Your Car\n\n\nBaby car seats come in various sizes, so it\u2019s important to get one that fits in your car. A baby car seat with a large base may not fit in a compact car. Therefore, before deciding on a car seat, measure how much room you have in the back seat of your car.\u00a0\n\n\nYou should also check if your car has ISOFIX tethers as not all baby car seats are ISOFIX-compatible. ISOFIX is the international standard for child car seat attachment points which enables parents to easily and correctly install their car seats. That said, you can still install any baby car seat in your car with the seat belt installation method, and if correctly done, it\u2019s just as secure as ISOFIX.\n\n\n3. Choose a Car Seat That\u2019s Easy to Clean\n\n\nLike all products made for children, baby car seats are at risk of getting dirty from your child spilling food and drinks. Baby car seats in Malaysia come in all kinds of materials \u2013 some easier to clean than others. If possible choose a car seat made of easy-to-clean fabric that you can just wipe clean or is machine washable.\n\n\nRead More: \nBuying a Car? Here Are 17 Safety Features You Need\n\n\n4. Focus on the Important Features\n\n\nThe main purpose of a baby car seat is to keep your child safe in case of an accident. So, if you want to get the best value out of it, prioritize quality safety features first such as below.\n\n\n\n\nA five-point harness:\n It secures your child properly and prevents them from being thrown forward in an accident. This harness contains two shoulder straps, two waist straps, and one strap between the legs that is fastened in the middle.\n\n\nISOFIX compatibility:\n ISOFIX makes it easier to install the baby car seat without using seatbelts and reduces human error. However, make sure your car has ISOFIX first.\n\n\nSide impact protection:\n This may include a reinforced shell, foam, or air pads at the side of the seat and baby\u2019s head for extra protection.\n\n\nAnti-rebound bar: \nUsually reserved for higher-end baby car seats (RM400 and above), an anti-rebound bar is usually fixed on rear-facing baby car seats. It reduces the rolling motion of the car seat after a crash and further minimizes injury to your baby.\n\n\nOther features:\n You can also consider other features that improve your child\u2019s comfort including thicker cushions, breathable fabric, and a larger canopy.\n\n\n\n\nWhat Is the MyCRS Subsidy?\n\n\nMyCRS is a rebate program for the purchase of child restraint systems (CRS) that aims to encourage Malaysian parents under the B40 household category to use baby car seats for their children.\u00a0\n\n\nThe total subsidy given is a 50-percent deduction or up to RM150 from the selling price of the car seat. This means parents who purchase a car seat priced at RM300 and below get a 50-percent discount while those who purchase one at RM301 and above will get a flat RM150 discount. Below is the eligibility criteria for the MyCRS subsidy.\n\n\n\n\nThose under the B40 household category;\n\n\nMarried with a child, adopted child, or foster child under the age of 12;\n\n\nSingle parents, widows, or widowers with children under the age of 12;\n\n\nAdopted children must be registered with JPN;\n\n\nMust be citizens residing in Malaysia.\n\n\n\n\nTo benefit from the subsidy, eligible parents have to first apply for it on the \nMyCRS website\n. They can then redeem the subsidy when purchasing their baby car seat from authorized retailers which include brick-and-mortar and online sellers.\n\n\nChoose CARSOME Certified for Peace of Mind\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for an affordable, quality pre-owned car, check out \nCARSOME\n.

On top of that, all Carsome car listings come with the full 175-point inspection report and feature close-up pictures as well, while some include a 360-degree view to ensure you have full transparency when you buy a car online with us.\n\n\n\n\n2. It\u2019s Just Too Much Hassle\n\n\nImagine this, you\u2019ve scoured through all your resources to find a dealership that offers the car of your dreams or wants to accept the car you\u2019re selling at your terms, only to find out that this specific dealership is in another district, or maybe even in another state!\n\n\nNot everyone wants to spend their days purchasing or selling their car at a dealership. Plus, what would happen if the deal couldn\u2019t be sealed?\n\n\nAdditionally, searching for a used car dealership to find a quality ride that matches your needs can be time-wasting because you may have to visit several dealerships to compare prices. Furthermore, if you want to sell your car, you will also have to find a buyer or a dealer to buy it at a fair price.\n\n\n\n\n3. There Are Too Many Processes\n\n\nWhen talking about buying or selling used cars, traditionally, there\u2019s no running away from all the processes and there is no denying that there are a lot of them.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re planning to sell your car the usual way, you will need to find a buyer or dealership that agrees to your price. You must also seek out a reputable inspector to assess your car for the market price but this poses its own risks as you may not know whether the inspector is certified.\n\n\nThe same goes for buying a car. Traditionally, you must head to the dealership, carefully inspect the car you\u2019re planning on buying to ensure its quality, and then study the deal so you can make the most out of it. If you\u2019re not confident with your ability to judge the car or deal, then you would need to get the help of a family member or a friend who is more knowledgeable.\n\n\n\nThen there\u2019s the paperwork. If you\u2019re buying, expect to prepare some documents for the bank and dealership. If you\u2019re selling, there\u2019s a ton of paperwork involved that needs to be done at various places such as preparing a copy of the grant, getting the name change form done at Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ), the vehicle inspection form done at PUSPAKOM, among other documentation. All this requires time and money.\n\n\nAlthough dealerships will offer to ease this burden for you, it usually comes at a price, maybe two prices in fact \u2013 one for the documentation fees and another for the runner who will be running around doing all these things for you. Plus, these prices are usually not included in the display price.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Negotiating is Difficult\n\n\nAfter finally finding the right used car to buy, or a place to sell your car, you\u2019ll have to deal with the heaviest task of all \u2013 negotiating.\n\n\nEven for someone with the know-how and experience in the field of buying or selling a car, negotiating is one of the hardest parts of striking and closing a deal.\n\n\nAlthough you may have all the information you need, there are many factors that could affect your negotiation which can include your demeanor, as well as visible flaws or defects on the said car \u2013 these are things to think about during the purchasing process and you would need all the help you can get.\n\n\nTo make sure you can make a sound judgement on the deal and on the car itself, it is best to bring someone else to help you negotiate, especially a family member or friend who is trustworthy and more knowledgeable.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. After-Sales Service\n\n\nToday, every paying customer expects some sort of after-sales service from the business they\u2019re dealing with, especially in the automotive business. With car dealerships, it might be a hit or miss when trying to look for an after-sales service that could satisfy all your needs.\n\n\nAlthough there might be a multitude of after-sales service packages, you may not find one you like. It can be costly and some might involve dealing with only certain workshops.\n\n\nMoreover, if something feels wrong with the used car you bought or if you change your mind about it, not many dealerships would be willing to provide you with a money-back guarantee. Hence, many turn to online platforms such as Carsome because of the Carsome Promise which includes a five-day money-back guarantee.\n\n\nNow, after reading through all those reasons, you might find one or two that hit close to home in your effort of buying or selling your car the traditional way. It is undoubtedly a journey with multiple pain points.\n\n\nThis is why Carsome exists as a solution to eliminate the hassle and provide a worry-free outlet with an end-to-end service.\n\n\n\n\nMake It Carsome for Complete Peace of Mind\n\n\nWith that, Carsome has introduced a new way of selling and buying used cars in a bid to improve the overall journey, essentially making it much easier for you.

That being said, there\u2019s also the risk of buying a car with poor quality or even accident damage when you choose pre-owned. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to know what to look out for when choosing a quality used car. Let\u2019s take a look at all the important checks you should do when \nbuying a used car\n.\n\n\n\n\nInspect the Condition of the Exterior\n\n\nThe first thing to check when determining the quality of a used car is its exterior condition. Besides looking out for large scratches and dents, there are other subtler points to examine which can give you a good idea of the car\u2019s quality.\n\n\n\n\nCheck the panel gaps:\n Uneven gaps between the body panels could indicate that the car has been in an accident. It\u2019s also a sign of low-quality bodywork. Besides being unsightly, severe panel gap issues can lead to rain or wind entering the cabin. If left unsolved, they can even cause damage to other car parts such as other body panels, hinges, and tires.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheck the paint finish:\n You can tell a lot about the quality of a used car from its paint finish. Make sure the paint on the different panels (doors, fenders, or bonnet) match each other as mismatched paint could mean that a part of the car has been repainted after an accident. Also, bubbling paint spots could mean that a rushed paint job was done on a rusty spot.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLook out for rust:\n Common rust spots include the roof, wheel arches, undercarriage, and the engine bulkhead (the panel that separates the engine bay from the passenger compartment). Be wary if there\u2019s a lot of rust as that could indicate extensive damage.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMake sure everything works:\n A simple but often overlooked check when buying a used car involves checking the doors, lights, bonnet, and boot. Test each part and make sure that the doors open and lock properly, and that all lights are functioning.\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \n6 Car Inspection Secrets Shared by CARSOME Inspectors\n\n\nCheck the Tires\n\n\nMany buyers don\u2019t realize that tires can tell you a lot about the quality of a used car. In fact, you can learn about the condition of the car\u2019s suspension system and owner\u2019s maintenance habits, among other things. When inspecting the tires, check for uneven wear, damage such as punctures, cuts, scratches, or bulges, tire age, and the depth of the tire treads.\n\n\nTo check a tire\u2019s age, look at the last four numbers after the \u201cDOT\u201d symbol on the tires. The first two of the numbers identify the week the tire was manufactured (ranging from \u201c01\u201d to \u201c53\u201d), while the last two numbers identify the manufacture year. For example, a tire with the information \u201cDOT XXXX XXX \n2120\n\u201d was manufactured in the 21st week of 2020.\n\n\n\n\n[\nImage source: edmunds.com\n]\n\n\nRead More:\n \nTires: How to Tell a Good Used Car from a Bad One\n\n\nExamine the Engine\n\n\nAnother vital check when buying a used car is on the engine. Checking the engine can seem intimidating but is actually pretty straightforward. Here are some basic checks you should carry out:\n\n\n\n\nCheck the fluid levels:\n First, \ncheck that the fluids\n (engine oil, radiator coolant, brake fluid, transmission oil) are at the correct level and are clean. Make sure that there are no leaks around the engine and nothing leaking to the floor.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheck the battery connections:\n If the battery connections are corroded, it could be a sign of leaking battery fluid, overcharging, or simply an old battery. The corrosion on the battery terminals can be fixed by cleaning them and putting in a new battery, but you should also check the battery cables for damage as it\u2019s common alongside corroded terminals.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLook at the overall engine condition:\n Look at the hoses, wires, wire clamps, nuts, and bolts in the engine compartment. Make sure they\u2019re all in good shape, ie. they\u2019re not brittle, stiff, and not held together with tape. If you spot nuts, bolts, or screws that are new or look out of place, it\u2019s worth identifying why they were replaced.\n\n\n\n\nTest the Air Conditioning & Other Interior Features\n\n\nSince you\u2019ll be spending most of your time inside the car, it\u2019s important to inspect the condition and test the interior features of the car. Turn on the engine and test all the switches and knobs including the air conditioning, USB charging port, wipers, power windows, cabin lights, hazard lights, instrument panel lights, and infotainment system.\n\n\nYou should also look out for \nwarning lights\n on the instrument cluster and have them addressed by the seller. The interior trim such as the carpet, fabric, and leather upholstery greatly influences the comfort and quality of a used car. Therefore, be sure to check the headliner, door panels, carpets, dashboard, and seats for signs of moisture or mold.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTake It for a Thorough Test Drive\u00a0\n\n\nBefore you take the car for a test drive, check that start-up and idling are smooth, and that there are no odd sounds coming from the engine. When on the road, look out for engine jerking, misfiring, or weird sounds. Also, make sure that the steering and suspension are working smoothly, and of course, test the brakes. It\u2019s also important to look out for any burning smell as this could mean serious issues with the engine.\u00a0\n\n\nThese checks might look simple, but they are a proven way to catch most issues in a used car.

Whether you\u2019re buying or selling a car, there will be unsavoury characters trying to squeeze every cent they can out of you.\n\n\nWhile many car-related financial scams are easily avoided with a little common sense, it\u2019s a lot harder to avoid being ripped off when dealing with a car in the metal. Sometimes your lack of mechanical knowledge may take your car buying or selling journey down a rocky path.\n\n\n\n\nLuckily, you can avoid the worst pitfalls with some basic car knowledge. Knowing your stuff means you can deal with confidence, avoiding the worst of the scams out there.\n\n\nHere\u2019s how to protect yourself from the car cheats out there and what to look for, for both buyers and sellers.\n\n\nWhen Buying a Car\n\n\nKnow the Value of a Car\n\n\nBefore you even look at a used car, you should know how much to pay for it. You can check a car\u2019s market value based on make, model and year of manufacture. Insurance companies do that all the time to determine the value of premiums, and that is a good place to start.\n\n\nThe actual value of the car may vary based on other factors like mileage, condition and color. But by getting a ballpark figure, you can avoid paying too much (or get suckered into a deal that\u2019s too cheap).\n\n\nCheck the Car\u2019s Paperwork\n\n\nThe first thing to check on a used car is its paperwork \u2013 the inspection report, service records, among other documents. A good used car should have all those in order. If those are present, you can be certain that the previous owner cared for and maintained the car well.\n\n\nAnother thing you need to check is that the chassis number and engine number on the car match the numbers shown on the title. If the numbers don\u2019t match, you might end up buying a stolen and/or badly repaired car. Walk away if this happens.\n\n\nInspect the Car\n\n\nThough motor vehicle inspection is a technical discipline in itself, non-mechanically inclined customers can perform some simple checks to ensure they\u2019re not getting ripped off.\n\n\nA simple but very important check you can do is accident damage to the chassis. Check that the body panels line up with each other on both the left and right sides. Check also that the paint matches. Realigning, welding back and repainting a smashed chassis is extremely difficult. A repair job after a major accident will show most clearly in inconsistent gaps and mismatched paint between the doors and the fenders.\n\n\nThat way, you can ensure you are not getting ripped off by purchasing a vehicle that has been in a major accident.\n\n\n\n\nTest Drive the Car\n\n\nBefore you buy a car, always test drive it. If the seller is cagey about letting you test drive the car, it\u2019s a red flag that there may be major issues with the car. This is why at Carsome, we\u2019re always open for test drive bookings \u2013 just browse for a car and schedule your appointment online.\n\n\nAlways insist on going for a test drive. By doing that, you can spot any mechanical maladies when the car is running. As always, ensure that the car runs well, the gears shift smoothly, and all the electrics work. You can even turn the test drive into an advantage for you \u2013 minor faults can be used as bargaining chips to drive the price down.\n\n\nRead:\n \nGet Ready for Your Test Drive with These Useful Tips\u00a0\n\n\nBeware of Hidden Fees\n\n\nLastly, there could be the unwanted surprise\u00a0 of hidden fees once you agree to purchase the car. Sometimes, the difference between the advertised price of the car and the on-the-road price can be up to several thousand ringgit.\n\n\nThese \u2018fees\u2019 include insurance and handling the paperwork for you. To be fair, the paperwork involved in buying a car can be tedious if it\u2019s your first time doing it. But the time and effort involved may not be worth what shady dealers can quote. Remember, if you haven\u2019t signed anything, it is your right to walk away.\n\n\nWhen Selling a Car\n\n\nKnow How Much Your Car is Worth\n\n\nKnowing how much you can expect to sell your car for is already half the battle won. Similar to buying a car, you can check the market value of your vehicle by referring to the valuation of insurance companies. This way, you can avoid getting lowballed or getting suckered into a sale that\u2019s too good to be true. Alternatively, you can book a quick inspection with Carsome, where our skilled inspectors will conduct a 175-point check before letting you know the market value of your car.\n\n\nKnow Your Car\u2019s Condition\n\n\nAs we drive our cars daily, they can sometimes develop faults that we are not aware of. Common hidden faults include worn suspension, engine components, or a failing gearbox.\n\n\nTherefore, before listing your car for sale, it\u2019s a good idea to get it checked by a trusted vehicle inspector such as Carsome\u2019s trained and qualified inspectors.\u00a0 With Carsome, our inspections are completely free. To top it off, Carsome will offer to buy your car right off the bat, which means you save the hassle of advertising it yourself. However, if you do check out other outlets for an inspection, it may come with a cost of a few hundred ringgit.\n\n\nImportantly, by knowing your car\u2019s condition, you can avoid getting ripped off by buyers who may lie about imaginary faults to drive the price down.\n\n\n\n\nBe Careful During the Test Drive\n\n\nTales abound of cars being stolen from under the noses of prospective sellers. By taking a simple precaution, you can cut down the chances of this happening drastically.\n\n\nThat is, you should be in the car during the test drive as well not only for security, but also to answer any queries your buyer may have. Ideally, bring a family member or friend along for the test drive as well. It\u2019s always good to have safety in numbers. For added security, you can hang on to the buyer\u2019s driving licence or identification card just in case.\n\n\nPeace of Mind Buying and Selling with Carsome\u00a0\n\n\nA Painless Buying Experience\n\n\nFor customers not used to buying and selling used cars, it can be daunting. Thus, buying a car online through Carsome makes the process as transparent, seamless and convenient as possible.\n\n\nWhen buying a car through Carsome, there are no hidden fees. The price you see on the website is the price you will pay to put the car on the road.

Here\u2019s a guide on tires and what you can spot to ensure you get a quality used car.\u00a0\n\n\nTires are essential in any car as they are the only part of your car that comes in contact with the road every time you drive. Four fundamental functions of tires are:\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Supporting the weight of the car;\n\n\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 accelerating and braking;\n\n\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 direction; and\n\n\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 absorbing uneven road surfaces\n\n\n\n\nWhy is it Important?\n\n\nMany people are mistaken by the fact that it\u2019s the brakes that stop the car, but the brakes only stop the wheels \u2013 it is actually the tires that stops the car.\u00a0\n\n\nMichelin Malaysia\n states that the contact area is the size of the palm of your hand, which is such a small area because this is where the acceleration, braking, steering, handling, and comfort of the car occurs. In such a small area, a failure at a high speed could have detrimental consequences.\n\n\nThe Fastest & Easiest Way\n \nto Check Tires When Buying a Used Car\n\n\nWhen buying a used car, checking the tires is one of the fastest and easiest ways to determine a quality used car from a lousy one. This is because every time you drive the car, the tires are being used, which will wear out.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIn fact, the lifespan of a tire depends on various factors namely, the tires\u2019 design, the driver\u2019s habits, the climate, the conditions of the road, and the previous owner\u2019s maintenance habits. Here are four ways to check.\n\n\n\n\nCheck for uneven wear \n\u2013 Is the center of the tire more worn than the sides or vice versa\n\n\nCheck tire tread\n \u2013 By holding a 10 sen coin to the tire\u2019s gap if the words \u201cBank Negara Malaysia\u201d shows then the tire(s) are due for a replacement.\n\n\nCheck for damage \u2013 \nAre there any cuts, punctures, bumps, or bulges?\n\n\nCheck the Date of Tire (DOT) \n\u2013 Look for the DOT number, it provides the week of manufacture and year of manufacture.\n \nMichelin Malaysia\n advises to keep five years in mind, after that the tires should be inspected at least once a year by a mechanic.\n\n\n\n\nTires are the Most Expensive Replacement Part of a Car\n\n\nAccording to the \nMinistry of Transport\n, there are over 31.2 million units of motor vehicles registered in Malaysia as of 2019 and in the same year, there are over \n87 percent of Malaysians\n who reside in Klang Valley that drive alone to work, which is the highest rate in the world for single commuters.\n\n\nGiven the nature of tires being used on a daily basis, it is \none\n of the most expensive replacement parts of a car. However, everyone\u2019s usage may vary because of the tire size, the tire brand, and the type of tire. For example, the cost of replacing the tires on a Proton X50 is as expensive as replacing the tires on a BMW X1 despite costing double the price.\n\n\nHere are a few reasons why tires are \none\n of the most expensive replacement parts of a car:\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDifferent formulas for different brands \n\u2013 not all tires are created equally as different manufacturers have different goals and different market(s). Tire manufacturers will need to hire scientists and researchers to experiment various types of chemicals and materials, which incurs more costs.\n\n\nImproved Handling Capability\n \u2013 Manufacturers spend a lot of time and money on tire prototypes to improve the handling.\n\n\nImproved Braking Capability\n \u2013 Manufacturers also spend time and money to improve the braking capability and overall safety of their tires.\n\n\nReliability and Durability\n \u2013 It must also be reliable and durable because if tires are at fault for an accident, they are not going to sell.\n\n\n\n\nSpending on Tires Reflects on the Previous Owner\u2019s Maintenance Habits\n\n\nGenerally, spending on tires does in fact reflect on the previous owner\u2019s maintenance habits. For example, you should never mix tires on the same axle (either front or rear).\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0If the car has different brands on each tire or one of the tires, it might suggest that the previous owner was on a budget and did not care enough about the car. If the tires have a \nDOT\n stamp older than the car, it indicates used tires were installed to the car, which is again cause for concern.\n\n\nAlso read:\n \nA Guide to Run-flat Tires\u00a0\n\n\nIt would then be normal for you to ask yourself, if the previous owner is willing to cut costs by buying different brand tires or used tires, and have there been any other costs cutting in their maintenance?\n\n\nUneven Wear Suggests More Serious Mechanical Problems\n\n\nMore common than not, uneven tire wear is caused by misaligned wheels or insufficient tire air pressure. Nonetheless, uneven tire wear can also be a symptom of worn-out suspension (in simpler terms, the legs of the car). This might cause the car to lean on either side, which puts extra load on one side of the tire. A worn-out suspension is a serious mechanical problem, which has its detrimental consequences. Here are a few consequences but not limited to:\n\n\n\n\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \nYour car can lose control over bumps and downhills.\n\n\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \nYour car can lose control around curve roads.\n\n\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \nYour car will require a longer distance to stop during an emergency sudden brake.\n\n\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \nYour worn-out suspension might damage other parts of the car and over time, it will incur more cost to repair.\n\n\n\n\nMix and Match Tire Brands is a \nRed \nFlag\n\n\nAs mentioned above, not all tires are created equally and it is important to have all four tires to be of the same brand for safety reasons. Let\u2019s say one of your tires was punctured due to a pothole and you want to get a different brand that\u2019s cheaper to save a few bucks. It may make sense at first in the short-term but in the long-term, it will have detrimental consequences.\n\n\nMixing tire brands will affect the car\u2019s steering, acceleration, and braking characteristics. There might be lesser grip on the cheaper tire, which means the handling characteristics will substantially change as well. Moreover, during a rainy day or a wet condition the stability of the car will be decreased because of the lesser grip of the cheaper tire. When the tires do not match at all four corners, it can be very unsettling for the car.\n\n\nAs a rule of thumb, it is recommended to replace all four tires at the same time. Nevertheless, if the time calls for it like the pothole incident where only one tire is required to be replaced it\u2019s a good idea to place the new one at the rear as the rear has more control.\n\n\nTires are as Important as Engine Oil\n\n\nTires are the most vital part of the car as it affects the safety of the driver, it provides comfort over uneven road surfaces, and it affects the car\u2019s overall drivability.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTherefore, it is important to inspect the tires when searching for a used car. Alternatively, with Carsome\u2019s Certified pre-owned cars, a 175-point inspection is conducted so you can drive away with peace of mind. In addition to that, all tires are checked to ensure they surpass global standards during our Carsome Certified Refurbishment Process at our Carsome Certified Labs.\u00a0\n\n\nRead more:\n Here\u2019s How Carsome Refurbishes Pre-owned Cars \n\n", "Devan S\nDevan believes written content is here to stay despite our depleting attention span and the rise of short videos.

Four-Pot Diesel Engine or a Six-Banger Petrol Engine?", "By\n \nBrian Wong", "22/12/2022", "\n\n\n\n\n", "After the second generation, Ford Ranger debuted in Malaysia, Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC) has cranked up a notch by introducing the 2023 Ford Ranger Raptor here. The Ranger Raptor, just like its predecessor, represents the highest spec out of the Thai-produced, American \npickup truck.\u00a0\n\n\nExterior\n\n\n\n\nPerhaps the most striking design in the new Ford Ranger Raptor is its boxy, retro futuristic-like design. In contrast, the previous generation of the Ranger Raptor had more well-rounded proportions. Notably on the front of the truck and its silhouette.\u00a0\n\n\nThe most apparent difference between the new and old models is the massive grille which houses Ford\u2019s logo spelled out in big blocked lettering. The headlights in the new Ranger Raptor have ditched the traditional headlights and opted for a \u201cC-bracketed\u201d design, possibly to accommodate the brand-new grille. Onto the bumpers, a pair of fog lights are fitted to the lower left and right along with a skid plate in the middle, similar to the previous generation.\n\n\nFor those who praised the previous generation that had overly aggressive motifs, Ford isn\u2019t holding back for this generation. The offroad-ready pickup truck still retains its signature oversized black, plastic flared wheel arches. This design extends its way from the front wheels before going underneath the doors which doubles as a pedestal for passengers. Then, it goes back up and ends at the rear wheels. This design is also present on the lower-spec Rangers of the same generation, but on the Ranger Raptor spec, it gets pumped with steroids. For those looking to identify a real Ranger Raptor on the streets, look out for its signature flared wheel arches.\n\n\nFord has also beefed up the rear of the truck too. Gone were the standard, three-cubed style taillights and a plain flat tailgate. The new Ranger Raptor has hit the gym as seen from the two-toned bulked tailgate along with M-shaped taillights. If that isn\u2019t enough, it even has Ranger spelled out in bold, imprinted on the lower part of the tailgate to flaunt.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nEngine and Performance\n\n\nFord\u2019s ace-in-the-hole in this new Ranger Raptor is a twin-turbo 3.0-litre EcoBoost V6 petrol engine that dishes out a whopping 397 PS and 583 Nm of torque. Nested in between the chassis is a 10-speed automatic transmission that sends that power to all four wheels. This makes the current generation the most powerful Ranger Raptor to date.\u00a0\n\n\nIn contrast, the previous generation of Ranger Raptor only had a four-cylinder, bi-turbo diesel engine omitting 213 PS and 500 Nm of torque running on the same 10-speed automatic transmission. Similarly to the previous generation of the Ranger Raptor, it retains the same FOX 2.5-inch Live Valve Internal Bypass shock absorbers that adapt themselves to the terrain.\n\n\nInterior\u00a0\n\n\nFor an off-road-ready truck, Ford didn\u2019t try to compromise the interior for passenger comfort. It still retains its signature black-orange two-toned leather interior. Onto the driver\u2019s seat, you\u2019ll be greeted by a 2.4-inch digital instrument cluster with various displays for driving modes. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are also present in this Ranger Raptor thanks to its 12-inch Ford Sync 4 Infotainment touchscreen. You can blast Welcome to the Jungle by Guns & Roses with its Bang & Olufsen Sound System built into the truck.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re feeling frisky, there are six up fitter switches located near the rearview mirror to activate any retrofitted feature like lightbars or fog lamps for off-roading. The truck bed also has a power adapter for 12V or 230V applications.\u00a0\n\n\nSafety-wise, there isn\u2019t much to shout about with its seven airbags, traction control, ABS, and power steering. Active safety comes bog standard in this generation.\n\n\nNow that we\u2019re done talking about the brand-new Raptor, how does this dinosaur of a truck hold up against its predecessor?\u00a0\n\n\nUsed 2019 Ford Ranger Raptor vs Brand New 2023 Ford Ranger Raptor\n\n\n\n\nIs a Used 2019 Ford Ranger Raptor a Good Bargain?

It combines the practicalities of family cars on which they are created for with strong performance and sharp handling of bigger built cars like sedans or SUVs.\n\n\n\n\nIn the beginning, hatchbacks were only manufactured by a few brands but due to the increase in popularity, nearly every automobile brand has one in its list. And in the used car industry, used hatchback cars are sold more compared to any other car types as used hatchbacks are versatile, available in different sizes across different bra\nnds and they are affordable/priced reasonably. .\u00a0\n\n\nHere are some of the most popular used hatchback cars in Malaysia.\u00a0 \n\n\nPerodua Myvi\n \u2013 The Perodua Myvi is Malaysia\u2019s best selling car. Nearly every household owns at least one Myvi and everyone in Malaysia (with a driver\u2019s license) would have driven one.\n\n\n\n\nEver since its launch in 2005, the \nPerodua Myvi\n has evolved and adapted to the needs of many. The third generation Myvi features a cabin with ample space, Advanced Safety Assist System, 6 Airbags, Vehicle Stability Control, Front Corner Sen\nses among many others. Its engines that contribute to a comfortable driving experience are as below:\n\n\n\n\n1NR-VE engine with a displacement of 1,329 cc (1.3 litre) that produces 70 kW at 6000 rpm and 121 Nm at 4000 rpm.\n\n\n2NR-VE engine with a displacement of 1,496 cc (1.5 litre) that produces 76 kW at 6000 rpm and 136 Nm at 4200 rpm.\n\n\n\n\nThe starting price of a Perodua Myvi is RM 41, 292 for the 1.3L series and RM 50, 530 for the 1.5L series.\n\n\nPerodua Axia\n \u2013 For many, the\u00a0 Perodua Axia is our beginner\u2019s car as it is the cheapest car on sale in Malaysia. It is an economical, no-frills point A to B commuter that doesn\u2019t break the bank for monthly repayment and needed services. Though it might be cheap, this model brings together the best of all in a small package.\n\n\n\n\nSome of its great features include the new second-generation Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) that consists of Pre-Collision Warning with braking and Pedestrian Detection, and Front Departure Alert with Pedal Misoperation Control. While the engine of the Perodua Axia might not be as impressive, it is one of the most fuel-efficient cars in Malaysia. (Manual variant at 22.5km/L and the AT version at 21.4km/L of claimed mileage). The starting price of the Perodua Axia is RM 24, 090.\n\n\nProton Iriz\n \u2013 The Proton Iriz was manufactured back in 2014 as an effort to replace Malaysian\u2019s favorite car, the\u00a0 Perodua Myvi. Back then, the Iriz offered considerably more safety options compared to the Myvi, but the response was not that great. After the recent facelift, the Proton Iriz looks extremely pleasing to the eye.\n\n\n\n\nThe exterior features new headlights from Proton Persona, Sleek Black Roof* with Shark Fin Antenna, Dual Tone Alloy Rim, Rear Bumper with Rear Hatch Design and LED Daytime Running Lamps. On the inside, you have the \u201cHi Proton\u201d feature, Online Music Streaming, Wider Cabin Space, and Sporty Leather Seats, among many others. The starting price of the Proton Iriz is RM 36, 700 for the 1.3L variation and RM 46, 700 for the 1.6L variation.\n\n\nHonda Jazz \n\u2013The Honda Jazz is a beautiful small car that offers big space. It might be on the pricier spectrum compared to the Myvi, Axia and the Iriz, but it is one of the cheapest cars from Honda. \n\n\n\n\nThis car has impressed the crowd thanks to a long list of standard equipment and its family-friendly interior. One of the best perks of getting this car is that it parks easily on tight city streets thanks to its excellent all-round visibility and for some variant, you also get front and rear parking sensors as standard. The starting price of a \nHonda Jazz\n is at RM 72, 511.\n\n\nKia Picanto \u2013 \nKia\u2019s Pincanto is the brand\u2019s smallest model, but that doesn\u2019t stop it from performing like all its other counterparts. It is a small car that is perfect for taking you to the neighborhood grocery, picking the kids up from school and for a weekend road trip with your loved ones.\n\n\n\n\nSome of its great features include LED Rear Combination Lamps, MDPS Tilt Steering, Auto Light Control, 60:40 split folding rear seat and 6 airbags, among others. The starting price of a Kia Picanto is RM 47, 950.\n\n\nNow that you know some of the best hatchbacks to buy, why not check out Carsome for our quality \nused cars for sale\n at a slashed price?

The car is equipped with Smart Parking Assist System that steers into the tightest parking space automatically with a smart system that calculates space boundaries. It also features the Multi-view Camera System where the car is fitted with 4 cameras that captures everything the eye misses at junctions or parking areas with poor visibility.\n\n\n3. Honda Sensing\n\n\nimage source ; Honda\n\n\nFrom the 2018\nth\n Honda Accord model onwards, Honda introduced the Honda Sensing which is a full suite of 8 advanced driver assistive technologies that sees what you miss, giving you more confidence as you drive on the road.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCollision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) \u2013 Applies brake pressure when an unavoidable collision takes place.\n\n\nRoad Departure Mitigation System (RDM) \u2013 Adjusts steering and braking if you cross lanes without signaling.\n\n\nAdaptive Cruise Control (ACC) \u2013 Maintains a set following interval behind detected vehicles.\n\n\nLane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) \u2013 Adjusts steering to help you keep centered in a detected lane.\n\n\nTraffic Sign Recognition (TSR) \u2013 Can notify drivers of posted speed limits with the use of a small camera.\n\n\nForward Collision Warning\u2013 using both visual and audible warning\u2014alerts the driver to a potential collision with a vehicle detected ahead\n\n\nLow Speed Follow \u2013 \nhelps maintain a constant vehicle speed and distance away from the vehicle in front of you without the need to keep your foot on the brake or the gas pedal.\n\n\nAuto High Beam \u2013 \nWhen driving at night, the auto high-beam system can automatically turn on the high beams when its windshield-mounted camera detects no vehicles ahead, and return to the low beams when vehicles ahead are detected\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Spacious Interior Space\n\n\nimage source ; Honda\n\n\nUsually, sedans are not known for their cabin space, but the 10 Generation Honda Accord trumps most of them. This model is actually considered a full-sized sedan and up-front, there is more than enough space for most average-sized adults. In the back seat, the leg space is plentiful for adults that comes in all sizes, a feature that is not as common in most vehicles.\n\n\n5. Luxurious Interior\n\n\nimage source ; Honda\n\n\nThe Honda Accord takes luxury to a whole new level with their leather seats, the quiet cabin, and the captivating instrument panel that is equipped with high-class technology.

In fact, its boot opening is larger than some of its current competitors, which makes it easier to load things in.\n\n\n\n\nWhat Are the Safety Features?\n\n\nSafety-wise all \nHonda HR-V\n gets \ndual airbags\n, \nAnti-lock Braking System (ABS)\n, \nElectronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)\n, \nbrake\n \nassist\n, \nVSA (Vehicle Stability Assist)\n, and \nhill-hold assist\n as standard while the \nV variant\n gets additional \nside \nand\n curtain airbags\n making it a total of \nsix airbags\n.\u00a0\n\n\nInitially only the \npre-facelift V variant\n gets the six airbags but in the \npost-facelift\n,\n four \nairbags were a standard feature across all variants, similarly with the \ncruise control\n feature. The \npost-facelift\n also came with \nEmergency Stop Signal (ESS)\n as standard while the \nV \nand \nRS variant \nreceived the \nHonda\u2019s LaneWatch\n (Honda\u2019s blind spot camera).\n\n\nHonda\u2019s LaneWatch\n is one of the best-in-class Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system as it provides a \nlive view\n of your blind spot on the touchscreen display unit whereby in the real world is more practical when compared to a small indicator on the side mirrors that lights up (which is harder to see during a heavy rain).\n\n\nThe \nABS\n, \nEBD\n and \nbrake assist\n prevents the tires from locking up and skidding when sudden braking, which will allow the driver to steer the car to safety. Besides that, the \nESS \nwill turn on the hazard warning lights under heavy braking to prevent further potential collision.\n\n\nAdditionally, the\n VSA\n helps to stabilize the car during a potential collision when avoiding an accident or preventing skidding on slippery surfaces. On the other hand, the \ncruise\n \ncontrol \nfeature assists the driver in controlling the speed of the car without the driver\u2019s input by setting a speed limit.\n\n\nOther Standard Features\n\n\nFurthermore, other standard features were the \nelectronic parking brake\n, which frees up space for two cupholders in the center console (in front of the center armrest), \nauto brake hold\n (maintains the car in a stationary state without stepping on the brakes (a lifesaver during traffic jams), \n16-inch rims\n, \nauto headlights\n, and \nfog lights\n.\n\n\nPost-facelift Honda HR-V\n\n\nThe \npost-facelift\n Honda HR-V came with \nredesigned headlights\n, \nredesigned\n \nrear\n \nlights,\n and \nreshaped\n \nexterior\n. The \nrims \nare also different and bigger at \n17-inches\n while the \nHybrid \nhowever gets a \ndifferent\n \ngear\n \nlever\n and \ndifferent\n \ninstrument\n \ncluster\n (a set of information that displays your current speed, average petrol consumption etc.).\u00a0\n\n\nThere is also a \nfourth\n \nvariant\n for the \npost-facelift \nbeing the \nHonda HR-V 1.8L RS\n, in which it is based on the \nV \nvariant, but it adds sportier trims such as \n18-inch rims\n, \nhoneycomb-styled front bumper\n, \nfront/rear lower gloss-black bumpers\n, \ngloss-black side mirror caps\n and \ngloss-black cladding\n. All variants also get \npaddle shifters\n as standard.\n\n\nInfotainment System\n\n\nThe \npre-facelift\n gets a simple \ndouble-DIN\n \nradio\n with \nCD player\n for the \nS variant\n, a \n5-inch display\n unit for the \nE variant\n and a \n7-inch touchscreen display\n unit with \nvoice control\n, \nHDMI connectivity \nand a \nmulti-angle reverse camera\n for the \nV variant\n. Only the \nV variant\n gets \nsix\n \nspeakers\n while the \nS \nand \nE\n \nvariant\n only gets \nfour\n speakers.\n\n\nIn the \npost-facelift\n, the \nE \nand \nHybrid variant\n gets a \n6.8-inch\n \ntouchscreen\n \ndisplay\n unit while the remaining variants gets a \n7-inch touchscreen\n. All \npost-facelift\n Honda HR-V also gets \nHDMI/USB connectivity\n, \nhands-free telephone connectivity\n and \nfour speakers\n as standard.\n\n\nDo note that in 2021, Honda Malaysia\n \nupdated its infotainment system\n by including an all-new \n7-inch touchscreen display\n unit that supports both\n \nApple CarPlay\n and \nAndroid Auto\n.\n\n\nRecap of Honda HR-V Used Car Prices\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYEAR\n\n\nMODEL\n\n\nMILEAGE (\n~)\n\n\nPRICE (\n~)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2016\n\n\nHonda HR-V 1.8 S\n\n\n98,237 KM\n\n\nRM67,100\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2017\n\n\nHonda HR-V 1.8 E\n\n\n66,259 KM\n\n\nRM78,200\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2019\n\n\nHonda HR-V 1.8 V\n\n\n46,291 KM\n\n\nRM97,300\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2020\n\n\nHonda HR-V 1.8 V\n\n\n48,411 KM\n\n\nRM100,400\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2021\n\n\n Honda HR-V 1.8 RS\n\n\n10,783 KM\n\n\nRM112,000\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPros and Cons of Honda HR-V\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPROS\n\n\nCONS\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReliable \u2714\n\n\nNot the most comfortable in its segment\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHonda\u2019s LaneWatch \u2714\n\n\nMedia unit looks aftermarket\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHonda\u2019s Ultra Seats \u2714\n\n\nLack of rear air-cond vents\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPractical interior packaging \u2714\n\n\nLack of rear USB-ports\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoot space \u2714\n\n\nLack of rear center armrest\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGood looks \u2714\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBetter fit and finish than the car it\u2019s based on (Honda City and Honda Jazz) \u2714\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Fair Price to Pay\n\n\nFrom our website\n, the price for a used \nHonda HR-V\n ranges from \nRM60,000 \nto \nRM113,000\n depending on the year, variant, condition, and mileage of the car. A fair price to pay would be around \nRM97,300\n as based on the table above, that can get you a \n2019 Honda HR-V 1.8 V\n for \nRM97,300\n with a mileage of 46,291 KM.

With the similar loan calculations, you\u2019re looking to pay an estimated sum of \nRM857 per month\n.\n\n\nNonetheless, if you want the updated entertainment system with \nApple CarPlay \nand \nAndroid Auto\n then take a look at the \n2021 Honda HR-V 1.8 RS\n for \nRM112,000 \nwith a mileage of 10,783 KM.

Mechanically, there are no common problems here. A regular service and maintenance will keep the car problem-free. There is a reason why Honda Malaysia provides an unlimited mileage warranty for five years as they are confident in the reliability and durability of their car.\n\n\nNonetheless, there was a \nrecall\n by Honda Malaysia for fuel pump replacement for the 2018 models but only as a \nprecautionary measure\n.\n\n\nDo keep in mind that there is a difference between a common problem versus wear and tear parts that are due for replacement, which the latter is inevitable when buying a used car.\n\n\nHow Much to Maintain?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModels\n\n\nPre-facelift S, E & V variant\n\n\nPost-facelift E & V variant\n\n\nPost-facelift Hybrid variant\n\n\nPost-facelift RS variant\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRoad Tax\n\n\nRM360\n\n\nRM360\n\n\nRM120\n\n\nRM360\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTires/pc (\n~)\n\n\nRM305\n\n\nRM360\n\n\nRM360\n\n\nRM500 \u2013 RM600\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTire size\n\n\n215/60 R16\n\n\n215/55 R17\n\n\n215/55 R17\n\n\n225/50 R18\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10k KM minor service (Engine oil & oil filter change) [\n~]\n\n\nRM260\n\n\nRM260\n\n\nRM324\n\n\nRM260\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt the time when the \nHonda HR-V\n was launched,\n \nHonda Malaysia provided a five-year warranty with unlimited mileage for both the \npre-\n and \npost-facelift\n models.

It has been the trend lately but frankly, not everyone likes the size of an SUV as maneuvering through a tight parking space can be a hassle. This is where the \nHonda HR-V\n comes in and does best. It\u2019s a small SUV with excellent practical interior packaging.

In other words, a used luxury car can be sold as low as half their original prize, potentially saving you up to RM 50,000. Before you head down to your nearest used car dealer, here are the top sold used luxury cars in 2019 to give you a better insight.\n\n\nBMW- 3 Series, 5 Series, X3 and X5\n\n\nWhen it comes to luxury cars, BMW tops the list. This famous German carmaker produced great cars and some of their best-selling models include the famous 3 Series or the 5 Series cars.

After all, you\u2019ll be looking at the car for as long as you own it, so it makes sense to get one in a color that you like. However, many buyers often overlook one factor: what is the easiest car color to maintain?\u00a0\n\n\nOwning a car requires you to put in the time and effort to not only \nmaintain the engine\n, tires, and suspension but also the paint job. To help you choose the right car color, here is a list of some of the car colors that are easiest to maintain.\n\n\n5 Best Car Colors to Hide Dirt and Scratches\n\n\nSilver or Gray\n\n\n\n\nSilver\n and \ngray\n are two of the best car colors to choose if you want to minimize the time and effort spent on keeping your car clean. They both hide dust, dirt, and minor scratches very well and look clean even after a few weeks without washing. Lighter shades of silver and gray are better at hiding dirt and scratches while darker shades are better at hiding mud stains commonly found on the lower parts of cars. Depending on the road conditions where you live and the environment in which you park your car, different shades of silver or gray work best at hiding dirt and scratches, so keep them in mind when choosing the best color for your car.\n\n\nShades of Brown\n\n\n\n\nBrown\n is also one of the easiest car colors to maintain. Like gray and silver, all shades of brown perform well at hiding dirt and scratches on your car\u2019s surfaces but they\u2019re especially good at masking mud stains. In general, lighter shades of brown such as \nbeige\n, champagne, and \ngold\n are the easiest brown paints to maintain. These colors are also not as common as the current trend of white cars, so your car is more likely to stand out on the road. Plus, they have a naturally classy look. If you want your ride to have more of a personality and look cleaner for longer, brown is one of the best car colors to get.\n\n\nWhite\n\n\n\n\nWhite cars\n seem to be everywhere these days. From premium MPVs like the \nToyota Vellfire\n to compact sedans like the \nHonda City\n, you can see white cars in all shapes and sizes when you\u2019re on the road. And there\u2019s a good reason for that \u2013 white is one of the best car colors to hide dirt, dust, and minor scratches. Compared to other car colors, white paint looks newer for longer when viewed in the daytime. And with a good wash, a white car can look especially bright and invigorating.\n\n\nThat said, white paint highlights mud and darker stains very easily which are common if you drive in the rain or through muddy roads. These stains often build up behind the wheel arches during the rainy season, so that\u2019s something you should pay attention to if you have a white car. If you park indoors and generally avoid driving in the rain, a white car is a great option.\n\n\nGreen\n\n\n\n\nGreen\n is quite an uncommon color on cars, especially now when the trend for car colors is more conservative. However, green is also among the best car colors if you\u2019re looking for something that\u2019s easy to maintain. Like gray and brown, it hides dirt, scratches, and mud quite well making it a relatively easy color to keep clean and maintain. Just look at the \nPerodua Axia\n and \nProton Iriz\n; the green variants of these cars are fairly common on Malaysian roads and you hardly see a dirty one.\u00a0\n\n\nWith proper cleaning, waxing, and polishing, a green car just pops and grabs more attention on the road. Classic shades of green like Lime Green and British Racing Green are popular color options on luxury sports cars such as Lamborghinis and Jaguars. If you want a unique car color that stays cleaner for longer and hides mud stains fairly well, go for green.\n\n\nRed\n\n\n\n\nAlthough not as common as neutral colors like white and silver, \nred\n is a fairly popular car color, especially among younger drivers. Red is a striking and sporty color just like black and dark blue but is easier to clean and maintain. It doesn\u2019t hide dust and dirt as well as white or silver but it can effectively mask scratches, mud, and darker stains. With just simple washing, you can easily keep a red car looking as good as new.\n\n\nWith manufacturers being able to experiment with different formulations for their car paint, you can more often see unique and eye-catching variations of red cars. On the other hand, white and silver paint on cars tend to look alike even when comparing cars from different manufacturers. An example of a red paint job that\u2019s stunning on a car is Mazda\u2019s signature Soul Red Crystal which is available across Mazda\u2019s range from the \nMazda 2\n to the \nCX-5\n. If you want an exciting paint job that\u2019s fairly easy to maintain, red is one of the best car color choices.\n\n\nRead:\u00a0\nHow to Buy a Used Car\n\n\nWhat Are the More Difficult Car Colors to Maintain?\n\n\nDark cars tend to get dirty very easily even when there\u2019s a light coat of dust on the surface. So colors like \nblack\n, \ndark blue\n, dark gray, and other dark colors require more frequent washing especially if you drive in the city center where there\u2019s more smoke and dust. Black and other dark colors also show water spots on their surface easily.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWater spots are the unsightly spots that form on the surface of a car when the water droplets on the car evaporate and dry. The spots contain traces of minerals and other contaminants which are responsible for staining your car\u2019s surface. Pollen and bird droppings also show more obviously on black and dark colors. With a black car, instead of washing it every two weeks or monthly, you might need to wash it weekly to keep it looking clean. If you\u2019re looking for the best car color to hide dirt and scratches with minimal effort, avoid getting a black car.\n\n\nTips on Maintaining Difficult Car Colors\n\n\nIt can be challenging to keep a dark-colored car looking clean especially if you drive in a dusty area and have limited time to take care of your car. However, there are some things you can do to prevent your car from collecting dirt and scratches so it looks good.\n\n\n\n\nAvoid parking your car under direct sunlight especially for extended periods of time as it accelerates the fading of the paint.\n\n\nAvoid putting on a cover on your car as there\u2019s a chance you\u2019ll create small scratches every time you put on and take off the cover.\n\n\nDon\u2019t place any solid objects on your car for extended periods. Hard items like cups or keys can scratch the surface. On a dark-colored car, these scratches are easier to spot.\n\n\nWash your car regularly. First, use a high-pressure hose to get rid of any debris and mud before applying a car shampoo with a soft towel. After you wash your car, dry it with a soft, clean towel or a microfibre towel.\u00a0\n\n\nDon\u2019t wash a black or dark-colored car when it\u2019s hot and sunny outside. Instead, wash it under a shade, in the morning, or in the afternoon when it\u2019s not hot out. Since black paint absorbs heat faster, the hot surface will cause the water to evaporate faster which could leave ugly water spots on your car.\u00a0\n\n\nWax your car once every two months to protect the paint and finish. The wax seals your car\u2019s exterior surface and protects it against salt, debris, and the sun\u2019s ultraviolet rays, thus protecting it from damage.\n\n\n\n\nRead:\n \nTips on Cleaning and Disinfecting Your Car\u2019s Cabin\n\n\nWe hope this list of the best car colors can help you choose the right car and take care of your car paint. In order to keep your car paint looking new, it\u2019s always best to regularly wash your car and keep it away from harsh environments when possible. Of course, you can always pamper your car so don\u2019t be afraid to take it for a proper wash and detailing at a professional car wash.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for \nused cars\n in excellent condition, check out CARSOME.

Their rivalry has been going on for as long as anyone can remember, in which the BMW\n 3 Series \nand Mercedes-Benz\n C-Class\n play a big role. As a matter of fact, the\n best-selling \nBMW\n model in Malaysia of \n2021\n happens to be the \nBMW 3 Series\n.

The \nF30\n \nBMW 3 Series\n was one of the comfiest cars among its competitors without sacrificing sporty driving whereas the \nW205 Mercedes-Benz C-Class\n has lost its focus.

That\u2019s understandable though. Mazda\u2019s now discontinued take on the segment had a slightly wider demographic that attempted to include alongside the usual large families some traveling businessmen as well.\n\n\nNonetheless, the distinctive-looking Biante unwittingly remains an afterthought in a segment dominated by the \nNissan Serena\n and more recently, the \nToyota\n Voxy.\n\n\nThe Biante has plenty going for it, after all, it was in production during \nMazda\u2019s\n renaissance period around the 2010s. Among them were powered sliding doors, a much plusher ride, and better interior packaging as well as that characteristic Hiroshima sharper handling than its peers.\n\n\nHaving gone out of production in 2018, used Biantes can now be found for around RM60,000 for 2014 models and bring to the table a much more well-rounded package as a family mover.\n\n\n\n\nA 2014 Mazda Biante SKYACTIV-G 2.0 sold on CARSOME for RM66,900\n\n\nThe Mazda Biante Range in Malaysia\n\n\nAlthough it was launched in Japan back in 2008, the Biante only made its way here about 5 years later in 2013. You could have it in any configuration so long it was the sole variant available, a CBU SkyActiv-G 2.0 that sold for RM 145,719.\n\n\nKey features comprised the aforementioned dual powered-sliding doors, stop/start i-Stop idle, keyless entry, and a reverse camera.\n\n\nPower came from a SkyActiv-G 2.0-liter four-cylinder that made 149 PS and 190 Nm of torque. A six-speed SkyActiv automatic drove the front wheels.\n\n\nUnfortunately, the Biante wasn\u2019t given a fair shot at realizing its potential as sales in Malaysia were halted in 2017; a relatively short lifespan here. Furthermore, Mazda chose to focus on the burgeoning SUV segment moving forward and didn\u2019t plan on a successor for it, making it the last of the Mohicans as a Mazda MPV.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nUsed Mazda CX-5 Buying Guide\n\n\nThe Variant to Buy & Current Market Prices\n\n\nWell, this might seem like a moot point given the lack of any variants but that obviously doesn\u2019t mean you walk out there and buy the first \nBiante\n you see. Being an informed customer, it helps to know what common issues and maintenance costs are. Factors such as mileage and if any of the common problems have already been addressed should play heavily into the final decision.\n\n\nThe early batch of 2013 and 2014 units are advertised for around RM60,000 while the final batch of 2017 models commands a much higher premium in the RM80,000 range.\n\n\n\n\nMaintenance & Common Problems\n\n\nDepreciation is a wonderful thing when it comes to purchasing a used car but one thing to bear in mind is that maintenance isn\u2019t subject to it. A car might be more affordable pre-owned but the cost of keeping it running wouldn\u2019t have gone down by much.\n\n\nThat said, the Biante isn\u2019t pricey to keep on the road but it always helps to know beforehand what you\u2019ll be putting your money on.\n\n\nSome of the basic, non-mechanical running costs to keep in mind include the following:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nItem\n\n\nPrice (RM)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRoad Tax\n\n\n380\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTyres 205/50/R16\n\n\n220-330 (a piece)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBattery 70AH EFB\n\n\n450-580\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead More:\n \nDon\u2019t Be Fooled by Common Hidden Fees When Buying a Used Car in Malaysia\n\n\nOn a larger scale, the cost of maintenance is estimated to be approximately as follows:\n\n\nThe SkyActiv mill is identical to that found in the \nMazda 3\n and 6 from that period. Hence, it isn\u2019t difficult to find a workshop that specializes in the Biante and Mazdas of that era.\n\n\nTimely maintenance\n is key and a primary factor in selecting the right unit. As always, a complete service history goes a long way in ensuring your Biante will continue to go a long way more.\n\n\nThe Biante\u2019s service schedule is relatively straightforward without the need to replace any major components in the first 120,000km.\n\n\n\n\nMazda Biante maintenance schedule:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInterval (km)\n\n\nItems\n\n\nPrice (RM)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10,000\n\n\nEngine oil, oil filter, plug washer\n\n\n300\n\n\n\n\n\n\n20,000\n\n\nEngine oil filter\n\n\n100\n\n\n\n\n\n\n20,000\n\n\nCabin filter\n\n\n120\n\n\n\n\n\n\n60,000\n\n\nFuel filter and retainer\n\n\n350\n\n\n\n\n\n\n40,000\n\n\nReplace brake fluid\n\n\n220\n\n\n\n\n\n\n120,000\n\n\nSpark plugs (iridium)\n\n\n350\n\n\n\n\n\n\n200,000\n\n\nCoolant\n\n\n200\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNo car is perfect and that means there will be some issues plaguing them.

JTech Autoserv advises owners to replace the ATF every 40,000km or so to extend the transmission\u2019s lifespan and keep it running optimally.\n\n\nThe workshop also implores owners to perform preventive maintenance in the form of walnut blasting every 6-10 months.\n\n\nOlder petrol direct injection engines will suffer from a build-up of carbon and oil sludge on the valves. The process of walnut blasting; as the name suggests, sees a high-pressured blast of finely crushed walnut shells on the valves to clean them.\n\n\nHowever, SkyActiv powertrains are generally reliable, robust, and ready to serve if cared for as recommended by the manufacturer.\n\n\nRead More: \nHere\u2019s How to Check the 6 Essential Car Oils & Fluids in Your Car\n\n\n\n\nConclusion\n\n\nMazda truly pieced together a proper mid-sized MPV with the Biante.

All models were paired to a \nsix-speed automatic transmission\n and were available with either a 2WD (two-wheel drive) and a 4WD (four-wheel drive). The 2WD powers the front wheels whereas the 4WD powers all four wheels.\u00a0\n\n\nAs standard, all \nMazda CX-5 \ncame with \nautomatic headlights\n, \nautomatic rain-sensing wipers\n, \npowered seats for the driver\n, \ncruise control\n, and \nkeyless entry \n[except for pre-facelift Mid Spec and post-facelift GL (Mid Spec) variant] \nwith push-start button\n. The post-facelift GL variant also did not get the powered seats for the driver.\n\n\nSafety wise, all variants came with \nsix airbags\n, \nElectronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD)\n with \nBrake Assist (BA)\n, \nDynamic Stability Control (DSC)\n, \nTraction Control System (TCS),\n and \nAnti-lock Braking System (ABS)\n. All variants also came with a \nTire Pressure Monitor (TPM)\n system as it is \nfundamental to keep track of your tires\u2019 condition\n.\n\n\nHere\u2019s a detailed explanation of what these safety features mean:\n\n\n\n\nElectronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD)\n, \nBrake Assist (BA), \nand \nAnti-lock Braking System (ABS)\n \u2013 prevent the tires from locking up and skidding when sudden braking. It allows the driver to steer the car to safety.\n\n\nDynamic Stability Control (DSC) \nand \nTraction Control System (TCS) \n\u2013 help prevent the car from losing control and help the driver to regain control of the car. They also reduce the risk of a rollover (when the car overturns).\n\n\n\n\nMoreover, all \nCX-5\n received \nsix speakers\n, \nBluetooth connectivity\n, \nreverse camera\n, \ntire inflator \nand \nfirst aid kit\n. The \nfacelifted\n \nMazda\n \nCX-5 \nwas thoroughly updated inside and out. On the inside, the post-facelift \nCX-5\n was given an \nall-new infotainment system\n (known as \nMZD Connect\n). It can be controlled via touch input or via the Multimedia Commander knob located at the center console next to the \nelectronic parking brake\n, which is also new (pre-facelift was a mechanical handbrake lever) \u2013 this frees up space for a longer center armrest.\u00a0\n\n\nNonetheless, the \nCX-5 \nGL variant did not get \nMZD Connect\n or the electronic parking brake. The soundproofing was also improved in the post-facelift \nCX-5\n, which was lacking in the pre-facelift models.\n\n\n\n\nMazda CX-5 center console (Post-facelift shown here)\n\n\n\n\nMazda CX-5 pre- and post-facelift infotainment system comparison\n\n\nDo note, however, when the \nMazda CX-5\n was first launched in the CBU (Complete Built-Up) form, it came with a sunroof, 9-speaker Bose sound system, and larger 19-inch rims. After the locally assembled units were launched, only the 2.5-liter \nCX-5 \ncame with \n19-inch rims\n, while the 2.0-liter variant received \n17-inch rims\n. With that being said, the CBU units were sold for less than a year making them quite rare.\u00a0\n\n\nOn the outside, the post-facelift \nMazda CX-5 \nwas given an updated look on the front and rear with \nLED Daytime Running Lights (DRLs)\n, \nLED headlights,\n and \nLED taillights\n for better visibility on the road. On the other hand, the 2.0-liter GL (Mid Range) variant did not get these updates. In fact, the \nCX-5\n GL variant received fabric seats instead of leather ones.\n\n\nRecap of Mazda CX-5 Used Car Prices\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYEAR\n\n\nMODEL\n\n\nMILEAGE (~)\n\n\nPRICE (~)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2013\n\n\nMazda CX-5 2.0 SkyActiv-G 2WD High Spec\n\n\n109,648 KM\n\n\nRM62,400\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2016\n\n\nMazda CX-5 2.0 SkyActiv-G 2WD GLS\n\n\n108,096 KM\n\n\nRM83,600\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2016\n\n\nMazda CX-5 2.5 SkyActiv-G 4WD GLS\n\n\n42,913 KM\n\n\nRM89,900\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Fair Price to Pay\n\n\nFrom our website\n, the price for a used \nMazda CX-5\n ranges from \nRM62,000 \nto \nRM90,000\n depending on the year, variant, condition, and mileage of the car. A fair price to pay would be around \nRM83,600\n as that can get you a \nfacelifted 2016 Mazda CX-5 2.0 SkyActiv-G 2WD GLS\n with a mileage of 108,096 KM. With a 10-percent down payment, you\u2019re looking to pay an estimated sum of \nRM916\n \nper\n \nmonth\n for nine years.\n\n\nAlternatively, if that is out of your budget, then take a look at the \npre-facelift\n \n2013 Mazda CX-5 2.0 SkyActiv-G 2WD High Spec\n for \nRM62,400 \nwith a mileage of 109,648 KM. With similar loan calculations, you\u2019re looking to pay an estimated sum of \nRM684 per month\n. For all intents and purposes, the pre- and post-facelift \nCX-5\n drives the same, so you\u2019ll be getting a similar driving experience with either option.\n\n\nNonetheless, if you want more power and larger rims then take a look at the \nfacelifted 2016 Mazda CX-5 2.5 SkyActiv-G 4WD GLS\n. Again, with a 10-percent down payment, the estimated monthly installment is \nRM985 per month\n.\n\n\nWhich Mazda CX-5 Model to Buy?\n\n\nI would recommend the \npost-facelift\n \nMazda CX-5 2.0 SkyActiv-G 2WD\n \nGLS \nas I personally drive the 2.0-liter model and it is safe to say that the car is \nwell-equipped even for today\u2019s standards\n. You get \nleather seats\n, \nBluetooth with hands-free connectivity\n, \nautomatic headlights\n, \nautomatic rain-sensing wipers\n, \nfront and rear parking sensors\n, and a \nreverse camera\n.\u00a0\n\n\nMost importantly, the 2.0-liter models get the \nsmaller\n \n17-inch rims (which won\u2019t hurt your pocket when it comes to replacing the tires)\n. It has enough power for daily driving and overtaking and it is also the most fuel-efficient out of the three engines. So, you will not feel short-changed with the 2.0-liter model.\u00a0\n\n\nThe \npost-facelift\n \nCX-5 \nis also a better option when purchasing a used car as \nMazda\n would have addressed some of the complaints by the pre-facelift model owners.\n\n\nPros and Cons of a Mazda CX-5\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPros\n\n\nCons\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComfortable ride\n, absorbs shocks on uneven roads with ease\n\n\nDoesn\u2019t absorb shocks from deeper potholes well\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeats are comfortable\n with lumbar adjustments for the driver\n\n\nNo electric seat adjustment for the front passenger\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbove average handling\n compared to other competitors in its segment.

Without getting too technical, carbon deposits are the black stains (soot) you find on surfaces where combustion happens such as on barbeque grills, chimneys, and in vehicle engines. Over time, it can harden and can cause engine failures. Therefore, it is recommended to get the carbon cleaned especially when your mileage is nearing the 100,000-kilometer mark. It\u2019s not so much a common problem but simply the nature of direct injection engines. These are machines at the end of the day and the parts do not last a lifetime.\n\n\nFurthermore, many owners have followed the service guide by \nMazda\n which provides that the gearbox oil or Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) can last a lifetime but this is not true. The ATF should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers. Again, this is not a common problem but a regular preventative maintenance.\n\n\nA good rule of thumb is to replace all the fluids in a used car after collection as fluids deteriorate over time. Nonetheless, if your budget doesn\u2019t allow it then doing a minor service when you get the car is good enough.\n\n\nOther things to note are that the \nCX-5\n\u2019s paint is notoriously thin and there are also rattling noises inside the cabin, which most owners are unable to find a fix for.\n\n\nHowever, with \nCARSOME Certified Lab\n being Southeast Asia\u2019s largest car refurbishment facility, CARSOME promises to deliver quality-assured cars that are as good as new.\n\n\nCheck out how CARSOME takes the worry out of buying pre-owned cars \nhere\n.\n\n\nHow Much to Maintain?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaintenance\n\n\nCosts (~)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRoad Tax\n\n\nRM439.20 \n(2.0-liter)\n\n\nRM830.40 \n(2.5-liter)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTires/pc (~)\n\n\nRM300 \u2013 RM900\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMinor service (Engine oil and oil filter) [~]\n\n\nRM260 \u2013 RM360\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTransmission fluid (gearbox oil) [~]\n\n\nRM222\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCoolant (~)\n\n\nRM49/liter\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThrottle body carbon cleaning (~)\n\n\nRM75\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHydrogen carbon cleaning (~)\n\n\nRM400\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrake fluid (~)\n\n\nRM150\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbsorbers (~)\n\n\nRM2345\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Mazda CX-5 Is Not the SUV You Need but the SUV You Want\n\n\nWith the \nKodo Design\n in mind, the first generation \nMazda CX-5 \nwas in fact the original sporty SUV from Japan. It doesn\u2019t have the largest interior space, not the most comfortable, and it certainly does not have the largest boot capacity. Nonetheless, these drawbacks are not dealbreakers to those who are already considering the \nCX-5\n. If you are haven\u2019t looked at the \nMazda CX-5 \nas one of your options, it is worth shortlisting as it provides all the practical qualities of an SUV while retaining the \u201csport\u201d in an SUV.\n\n\nBuy CARSOME Certified for Peace of Mind\n\n\nHere at CARSOME, we believe in creating an end-to-end buying journey to eliminate the concerns of traditional used car buying experience. \nCARSOME Certified\n is the new standard of buying pre-owned cars backed up by our \n175-Point inspection\n together with our \nCARSOME Certified Refurbishment Process\n.

(Used Buying Guide)", "By\n \nAmarnath", "09/09/2022", "\n\n\n\n\n", "While its more opulent brethren, the S-Class, might be the flagship of the marque, the introduction of more compact sedans allowed the fourth-generation \nMercedes-Benz C-Class\n W205 to make a leap closer to being a baby S-Class.\n\n\nWith the sedans in the A-Class range filling in the gap for more compact demands, the fourth iteration of the C-Class was free to take a leaf out of the S-Class playbook and raise the luxury stakes. Not that it needed it \u2013 the C-Class badge already held the mantle of being the distinguished gentleman\u2019s choice among its German peers.\n\n\nAlthough larger in every aspect, the W205 was the first model to use Mercedes\u2019 all-new Modular Rear Architecture (MRA) platform that was significantly lighter, thanks to the extensive use of aluminum, resulting in an average reduction in weight of around 100kg to balance out the dimensional gains.\n\n\nMercedes-Benz C-Class Variants Offered in Malaysia\n\n\nThe W205 was launched here in September 2014 and was available in three variants \u2013 the \nC 200\n Avantgarde, \nC 250\n Exclusive, and C 250 AMG Line. At the time, they were all CBU units from South Africa.\n\n\n\n\nA 2015 Mercedes-Benz C 200 sold for RM143,300 on CARSOME\n\n\nPowering the C 200 was the M274 DE20 LA engine. The 2.0-liter inline-four, turbocharged, direct-injected engine made 184 PS and 300 Nm of torque. In the C 250, the very same mill had a higher tune, making 211 PS and 350 Nm of torque. Both sent power to the rear wheels via the 7G-Tronic Plus automatic.\n\n\nLED headlights were standard but the trick adaptive LED headlights would only arrive with the facelift.\n\n\nTo tell them apart, the C 200 had a centrally mounted emblem on the grille while the C 250 benefitted from the iconic standing hood ornament with Airpanels; active louvers that open or close for aero efficiency.\n\n\nBoth variants had Agility Select (alters the steering weight, throttle response, and transmission maps) but the C 200 rode on an Agility Control suspension that\u2019s lowered by 15 mm while the C 250 was a tad bit higher with its comfort setup suspension.\n\n\nBoth trims shared powered front seats with memory, rear (powered) and side (manual) window blinds, auto lights and wipers, cruise control, reverse camera, and Active Parking Assist. However, keyless entry was exclusive to the C 250.\n\n\nFinally, Locally Assembled C-Class Sedans\n\n\nIn April 2015, locally-assembled variants were introduced. Specs remained identical for the C 200 Avantgarde and C 250 Exclusive.\n\n\nAlmost a year later in February 2016, the C 200 Exclusive Line made its way here. Slotting between the C 200 Avantgarde and C 250 AMG Line meant cosmetically, it mimicked the C 250 with more elegant bumpers, the traditional grille, and that bonnet-mounted emblem.\n\n\nEquipment-wise, it packed LED Intelligent Light System headlights, 18-inch wheels, and Comfort suspension that rides higher but still no keyless entry.\n\n\n\n\nA 2018 Mercedes-Benz C 250 sold for RM195,200 on CARSOME\n\n\nIntroducing 2 New Mercedes-Benz C-Class Variants\n\n\nA month later, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia updated the C-Class range with two new variants that sat at both ends of the C-Class spectrum. The C 180 Avantgarde Line was now the most affordable C-Class. And if you had a taste for the finer things in life, the C 300 AMG Line was all you needed to bag an actual AMG model. Here are details of what\u2019s offered in the C 180 and C 300 variants.\n\n\nMercedes-Benz C 180\n\n\nPower for the C 180 came from a smaller M274 DE16 LA engine. Its 1.6-liter displacement delivers 156 PS and 250 Nm of torque to the rear wheels via the same 7G-Tronic auto.\n\n\nAs the entry-level variant, the kit count rightly reflected that. It was mostly similar to the C 200 Avantgarde: you only got a single-zone air-conditioning system, no memory function for the powered seats, and no reverse camera but you did get Active Parking Assist.\n\n\nMercedes-Benz C 300\n\n\nEven with the same M274 DE20 LA found in the C200, the higher state of tune meant that outputs in the C 300 were 245 PS and 370 Nm of torque.\n\n\nBeing the Mercedes-Benz C-Class range-topper, it was decked out in 19-inch AMG wheels, a sports exhaust system activated by Sport+ mode, triple-zone climate control, and a panoramic sunroof. The Sports suspension lowered it by 15mm and it did light the way forward with the LED Intelligent Light System headlights with Adaptive Highbeam Assist.\n\n\nThe most significant pre-facelift upgrade though was the launch of the all-new 9G-Tronic automatic transmission in April 2017.\n\n\nIt was however only attached to the C 200 Avantgarde, C 200 Exclusive, and C 250 AMG Line.\n\n\nWhile much lighter than the outgoing 7G-Tronic, the new transmission did negligibly increase fuel consumption but negated that with quicker sprinting and a higher top speed.\n\n\n\n\nThe touch pad on the center console of a Mercedes-Benz C 200\n\n\nMercedes-Benz C-Class Facelift Detailed\n\n\nThe swansong for the W205 came in November 2018 with the facelift. This time around, it was all locally assembled from launch. Only two variants were available in the form of the C 200 Avantgarde and the C 300 AMG Line.\n\n\nApart from some minor cosmetic revisions to the exterior, the biggest change was the Multibeam LED with 84 diodes and Ultra Range high-beam headlights for the C 300. At the aft, the LED taillights received new C-shaped guides for the light signature.\n\n\nPerformance\n\n\nIt wasn\u2019t all cosmetic though as the range was now powered by new engines from the M264 family. The C 200 now had a little electrification to give an extra boost in performance. It got a smaller M264 E15 DEH LA 1.5-litre twin-scroll turbo inline-four engine that had 184 PS and 280 Nm of torque. To complement that, the EQ Boost 48V electrical system comprised a belt-driven starter/alternator that could dish out an additional 13 PS and 160 Nm of boost when required.\n\n\nOn the other hand, the C 300 made do with the M264 E20 DEH LA, 2.0-liter, twin-scroll turbocharged inline-four that brought 258 PS and 370 Nm of torque to the table without any electrical aid.\n\n\nBoth carried the 9G-Tronic transmission.\n\n\n\n\nOther Features\n\n\nInside, there was a new steering wheel, a larger 12.3-inch display, and a digital instrument cluster.\n\n\nThis facelift also finally brought keyless entry to the C 200 as well as Agility Control suspension.\n\n\nAs for the C 300, it rode on the more comfortable Airmatic suspension and packed active lane-keep assist that represented the first form of ADAS in the W205.\n\n\nThat wasn\u2019t all she wrote though. In July 2020, the complex and pricey EQ Boost powertrain in the C 200 was retired in favor of a more traditional pure internal combustion setup. The transition happened with the introduction of the C 200 AMG Line that reverted to the same engine from the C 300 with detuned performance producing 204 PS of power and 300 Nm of torque.\n\n\nThe AMG Line moniker meant it got the AMG alloys, a stiffer version of the Agility Control set-up from the C 200 Avantgarde, and active cruise control.\n\n\nUsed Market Prices\n\n\nUnlike its public enemy number one from Munich (that\u2019s BMW in case you\u2019re wondering), the offerings from Stuttgart tend to hold their value a little better in the used car market; much to the detriment of potential buyers. Nonetheless, they say you always get what you pay for.\n\n\nFrom a little browsing online, there\u2019s a fair mix of officially imported and reconditioned Mercedes-Benz C-Class units in the market although it leans more towards the latter.\n\n\nFortunately, the abundance of variants that were available throughout its run here means that pricing doesn\u2019t stray much between the varying badges.\n\n\nGenerally, 2014 models of the \nC-Class\n hover around the RM140,000 m\nark and can climb all the way up to RM250,000 for the final year pre-facelift models.\n\n\nAs for the \nC-Class facelift variants\n, you\u2019ll find that pricing starts at a much higher RM200,000 and stretches all the way to RM280,000 for final year units.\n\n\nUltimately, it all depends on the features you\u2019re looking for and the amount of kick when you floor the throttle.\n\n\n\n\nWhich One to Get\n\n\nFor the most part, the W205 C-Class is pretty problem-free. That\u2019s not to say it isn\u2019t without some common handicaps but then again, there\u2019s no perfect car. Still, almost all variants won\u2019t cause you a headache, but we\u2019ll have to draw the line at one particular one.\n\n\nWhatever the price, it\u2019s best to avoid the short-lived facelifted C 200 that came with the 1.5-liter engine and the EQ Boost hybrid assist. There have been cases of the hybrid system being problematic which is why they reverted back to a traditional internal combustion setup not long after.\n\n\nAdditionally, avoid Airmatic units because units with the regular Comfort suspension work just as well.\u00a0 The Airmatic suspension is just another potential wallet-breaking feature that\u2019s best avoided.\n\n\nCommon Problems\n\n\nAs is the norm with most premium continental machines, it\u2019s best to suss out the potential weak points prior to signing on the dotted line. Here, we spoke to Danny Tan. He runs an independent Mercedes-Benz specialist workshop Benze Elite Auto in Puchong.\n\n\nHe says that one of the most common problems with the W205 C-Class is a cooling coil leak in the air-conditioning system. The symptoms start with cool air only on one side of the vehicle before it stops altogether. You\u2019ll need to replace the cooling coil, condenser, and expansion valve to remedy it. OEM parts will be in the region of RM3,000 while original ones will be about double that figure.\n\n\nOn the side of cooling but for the engine, the coolant system can also spring a leak via the thermostat. That\u2019s going to set you back around RM1,000.\n\n\nMore common failures include the alternator and fuel pump which will set you back about RM2,000.\n\n\nUndercarriage noises can be attributed to worn bushings and control arm joints. Your alternatives are to replace the bushing for around RM400 or replace the entire arm with an OEM piece for about RM500. If you\u2019re all about the original parts, you\u2019ll be looking at RM1,100 or so for each arm as they don\u2019t sell the bushings on their own.\n\n\nConclusion\n\n\nA well-maintained W205 \nC-Class\n might have a few years under its belt but will continue to serve you for many more to come. If you come across a unit without a full service history, that\u2019s an immediate red flag.\n\n\nWith CARSOME Certified cars, you\u2019ll never have to worry about it as every unit undergoes a full 175-point inspection for complete peace of mind.\n\n\nBuy CARSOME Certified for Peace of Mind\n\n\nHere at CARSOME, we believe in creating an end-to-end buying journey to eliminate the concerns common in a traditional used car buying experience. \nCARSOME Certified\n is the new standard of buying pre-owned cars backed up by our \n175-point inspection\n together with our \nCARSOME Certified Refurbishment Process\n.

(Used Buying Guide)", "By\n \nAmarnath", "14/09/2022", "\n\n\n\n\n", "Some might argue that the \nMercedes-Benz E-Class\n slips under the radar against its more prominent sedan siblings, the \nC-Class\n and flagship S-Class. Nonetheless, that very same argument is testament to the mid-sized executive sedan\u2019s understated elegance that is a perfect fit for those who don\u2019t want to scream for attention but still want to make a strong enough statement that they\u2019ve arrived, figuratively and literally.\n\n\nAs the fourth generation in the E-Class lineage, the W212 E-Class didn\u2019t tear up the rule book but instead built on the foundations of its predecessors to further build on that reputation and on what the badge stood for.\n\n\nMercedes-Benz E-Class Variants Offered in Malaysia\n\n\nWe\u2019ll be shining the spotlight solely on the facelifted W212 as its age makes it an ideal proposition under the circumstances.\n\n\n\n\nA 2019 Mercedes-Benz E 200 sold for RM250,400 on CARSOME\n\n\nWhen the facelifted W212 Mercedes-Benz E-Class was launched in Malaysia in August 2013, the significantly redesigned front end garnered a love-it or hate-it reaction from fans. Gone were the split headlights, leaving the pre-facelift W212 as the last Mercedes-Benz to ever carry that design cue.\n\n\nThat said, even by the standards of European marques, the facelift exercise for the W212 E-Class was considered one of the most significant model revisions ever by Mercedes-Benz. It purported to have cost them close to the tune of 1 billion Euros, the same amount some brands spend for an all-new model.\n\n\nLooks aside, the facelift came in E 200 Avantgarde and E 250 CGI Avantgarde trim.\n\n\nPerformance\n\n\nBoth were powered by the same engine, a new 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four dubbed the M274 DE20 LA. The new powerplant had fast-acting piezo injectors, multi-spark ignition, fully-variable camshaft adjustment on the inlet and exhaust side, as well as a controlled oil pump for improved efficiency.\n\n\nWith the engine being the same, only different states of tune differentiated the performance aspect between the two variants.\n\n\nThe E200 made 184 bhp and 300 Nm of torque while the E250 brought a heftier punch with 211 bhp and 350 Nm of torque. Both sent power to the rear wheels via the 7G-Tronic Plus automatic transmission.\n\n\n\n\nFeatures\n\n\nThe new integrated singular headlights were now full-LED units for both variants. Aside from that, the interior received some minor enhancements in the form of revised air-conditioning vents and a classic analog dash clock.\n\n\nSafety was given a bump-up with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) such as Attention Assist and Collision Prevention Assist.\n\n\nBoth variants rode on the Direct Control suspension with selective damping based on the road conditions. The suspension was also lowered by 15mm.\n\n\nCompleting the safety kit were eight airbags and the marque\u2019s Pre-Safe system. Pre-Safe uses sensors to anticipate a collision and takes necessary measures to protect the vehicle occupants, all in a matter of seconds.\u00a0\n\n\nLastly, setting the more premium E250 Avantgarde apart would be the exterior Sports Package, 18-inch wheels, Remote Bootlid Closing, and an electric panoramic sliding sunroof.\n\n\n\n\nIntroducing a New Mercedes-Benz E-Class Variant\n\n\nA few months following the facelift, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia introduced the most powerful, non-AMG W212 E-Class in the country; enter the locally-assembled E400.\n\n\nUnder the hood saw a new twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6\u00a0 labeled the M276 DE30AL. It delivered an even 333 bhp and a massive 480 Nm of torque. Sending all that punch to the rear wheels was once again the familiar 7G-Tronic Plus automatic transmission.\n\n\nBeing the flagship, non-AMG trim, the E400 wore the sportier AMG Sports package, 18-inch AMG wheels, larger front brakes, and a firmer sports suspension. Rear occupants were treated to a rear seat entertainment system in the form of two monitors affixed to the back of the front seat\u2019s headrest.\n\n\nA Diesel Hybrid E-Class\n\n\nCome January 2015, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia once again raised the bar with the introduction of a new variant into the W212 E-Class family. The locally-assembled E300 BlueTEC Hybrid had the honor of being the first diesel hybrid to be commercially available in the country.\n\n\nDuty exemptions for locally-assembled hybrids meant that the E300 BlueTEC Hybrid undercut the E200 in pricing to make it the most affordable W212 E-Class variant. Nonetheless, it wasn\u2019t a barebones offering by any means. In fact, the comprehensive list of equipment for the E300 BlueTEC Hybrid was on par with the E400.\n\n\nThat means it wore the same AMG Sports package on the exterior as well as the same 18-inch AMG wheels.\n\n\nPower comes from a 2.1-liter turbo-diesel and electric motor combination. The OM651 DE 22 LA inline-four diesel mill makes 201 bhp and 500 Nm of torque. This is complemented by the three-phase AC electric motor that delivers 27 bhp and 250 Nm of torque on its own. The motor is integrated between the engine and transmission, the latter being the usual 7G-Tronic automatic transmission.\n\n\nMercedes-Benz Malaysia was adamant that the E300 BlueTEC Hybrid sold here has been adapted to the local Euro 2M diesel. That means the engine loses the particulate filter and has a water separator fitted.\n\n\nBeing a diesel hybrid, the E300 BlueTEC Hybrid is very light on fuel. A challenge by motoring journalist Andrew Frankel saw him drive from Africa to the United Kingdom on a single tank of diesel, covering 1,968 km. While that was done with the optional larger fuel tank that wasn\u2019t available in Malaysia, it\u2019s still a very impressive feat by any means.\n\n\nA compact lithium-ion battery stores the energy for the electric motor. It also powers the vehicle\u2019s 12 V electrical system via a DC transformer. This keeps the car\u2019s ancillaries powered when the engine shuts off at traffic lights.\n\n\n\n\nA 2016 Mercedes-Benz E 250 Avantgarde sold for RM210,500 on CARSOME\n\n\nUsed Market Prices\n\n\nIt\u2019s generally accepted that Mercedes-Benz machines tend to hold their value a lot better than some of its rivals from the continent. That said, you can find some great offers on the \nMercedes-Benz E-Class\n in Malaysia if you take the time to look around.\n\n\nBrowse some of the popular used car classifieds online and you\u2019ll find that facelifted \nE200 models\n from 2013 start around the RM100,000 mark. Now make sure you\u2019re seated for this because the price climbs significantly towards the final year models. If you\u2019re opting for one of these 2020-year models, prepare to fork out around RM250,000 or so.\n\n\nAs for the \nE250\n, the first-year facelift models begin a tad bit higher at approximately RM112,000 but eventually levels out the same as it touches the RM250,000 ceiling like its lower-trimmed sibling.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re keen on experiencing a diesel hybrid, pricing for the \nE300\n BlueTEC Hybrid unsurprisingly starts lower than its traditional petrol-powered siblings. You\u2019ll easily find first-year units of the variant in the market around the RM80,000 mark.\n\n\nWhich One to Get?\n\n\nGiven the healthy amount of variants, you\u2019ll definitely be spoilt for choice. For those looking to play it safe, the logical options would be the E200 or the E250. Petrol-powered, no complex hybrid system and generally well-equipped.\n\n\nOn the other end of the spectrum is the impressive E300 BlueTEC Hybrid. Mountains of torque, extremely fuel efficient and packing tons of equipment. The downside would be that some parties are still skeptical regarding diesels and older hybrids as the maintenance costs might catch them out should something major fail. However, it doesn\u2019t have any weak points apart from the common problems shared with the platform.\n\n\nThe best bet would be the aforementioned safe variants such as the E200 and E250 though. Plenty to choose from and most speciality workshops will be able to care for them with ease.\n\n\n\n\nCommon problems\n\n\nNo car is perfect and that goes for the relatively hardy W212 E-Class as well. Having spoken to multiple workshops has led to a list of some of the common problems owners of a W212 might encounter and the estimated cost to rectify the problem.\n\n\nMr. Wai of Autoraco in Bandar Tun Razak shared some of his experience with the W212. The leading failure point according to him is the water pump. If you miss the warning light on the dashboard, the engine might overheat. Expect to spend around RM2,500 \u2013 RM3,500 for a new water pump and other components that may have been damaged with the resulting overheating.\n\n\nAnother common failure is the oxygen (O2) sensor. This\u2019ll bring up a check engine light but isn\u2019t a major problem by any means. That\u2019s approximately RM700 for a new oxygen sensor though.\n\n\nEven the mass airflow sensor isn\u2019t exempt from defects. Unfortunately, only original spare parts work here and that will set you back a hefty RM3,000 or so.\n\n\nThe engine mounts in general not only serve to hold up the engine but also to dampen vibrations from reaching the chassis. It\u2019s a common wear and tear item that will cost a minimum of RM1,500 to replace in the W212 E-Class.\n\n\nAlthough the lithium-ion battery mostly powers the vehicle\u2019s 12 V system, there\u2019s still a regular auxiliary battery located in the boot. This will cost around RM320 to replace, depending on the brand. If it loses its ability to hold a charge over time, the auto start-stop function will not function properly.\n\n\nCommon to plenty of European vehicles is the failure of the wheel speed sensor. The W212 E-Class doesn\u2019t escape this curse. The wheel speed sensor is a key component of the ABS and the electronic stability program. That\u2019s about RM300 for each corner.\n\n\nConclusion\n\n\nAs always, take your time and don\u2019t rush into the purchase. Ask plenty of questions, especially regarding the common problems highlighted above to gauge if the repairs have already been carried out. That would indicate a well-maintained unit as well.\n\n\nBuy CARSOME Certified for Peace of Mind\n\n\nHere at CARSOME, we believe in creating an end-to-end buying journey to eliminate the concerns common in a traditional used car buying experience. \nCARSOME Certified\n is the new standard of buying pre-owned cars backed up by our \n175-point inspection\n together with our \nCARSOME Certified Refurbishment Process\n.

The VL gets all the bells and whistles such as LED headlights with LED daytime running lights so other road users notice your presence on the road, 18-inch dual-tone rims, roof rails that provide attachment points to mount items on top of the vehicle, powered-adjustable driver\u2019s seat, and leather seats.\n\n\nPayload capacity:\n 880 to 1112 KG depending on the variant (great for hauling heavy and big items such as furniture).\n\n\nSafety Features:\n Two airbags on the SE variants and six airbags on the V, VL, and Pro-4X variants (it was updated to seven in 2018 but the facelift in 2021 only received six). \n\n\nOther safety features include\n \u2013\u00a0 Electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist, which prevents tires from locking up and skidding.

However, great sales numbers do not translate to zero problems with the \nNavara\n.\u00a0\n\n\nSome owners have reported oil leaks coming from the engine and transmission (gearbox) while others reported magnetic pulley failure (which gives power to the air-conditioner). Nevertheless, there are no catastrophic engine or transmission failures, and since these problems are not that common, you need not worry about them too much\u00a0\n\n\nA regular service and maintenance will keep the car problem-free.

While the evergreen model hasn\u2019t always had much in the way of competition locally, that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s undeserving of its de facto position as the best large \nMPV\n in the country.\n\n\nAs demand grew for larger capacity vehicles, the Serena offered big space for relatively small money. It was well-designed, reliable, and looked handsome as well. Simply put, it ticked all the boxes for a large MPV.\n\n\nThe Serena C26 is no different, further improving on the solid foundation set by its predecessor with incremental enhancements in key areas. It grew more spacious and gained better creature comforts yet remained decently sized for urban driving.\n\n\n\n\nThe Serena S-Hybrid C26 Range\n\n\nNissan\n launched the \nSerena\n C26 here in 2013 as a fully imported (CBU) model from Japan. The sole Serena S-Hybrid Highway Star variant listed for RM149,500.\n\n\nIt was proudly declared as the first hybrid MPV in the country though many would take that claim with a tablespoon of salt.\n\n\nThe reasoning behind that spoonful of salt was the loose definition of the \u201chybrid\u201d term. Power came from an MR20DD 2.0-liter engine that delivered 147 PS and 210 Nm to the front wheels via a Jatco XTronic CVT.\n\n\nNissan slapped on that S-Hybrid (\u2018S\u2019 for Smart) emblem due to the 1.8kW ECO (Energy Control Motor) motor that pulled double duty as an alternator to recharge the MPV\u2019s electricals during deceleration and an engine starter motor.\n\n\nThe use of the term hybrid here does appear to be a bit of a stretch as the ECO motor didn\u2019t provide any drive to the wheels. It could however deliver a momentary \u201ctorque assist function\u201d with a 50 Nm of torque boost to the crankshaft for about 1 second when the Serena moves from a standstill.\n\n\nBells and whistles included keyless entry and start, auto headlights, climate control, and second/third-row air vents.\n\n\nThe following year, Nissan introduced the facelifted Serena S-Hybrid that was now locally assembled (CKD). For all intents and purposes, it was essentially identical save for a redesigned front end with LED headlights and taillights.\n\n\nThere was also a new second variant, the S-Hybrid Highway Star Premium. All it carried a 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 10.1-inch roof-mounted LCD screen, and combination leather seats.\n\n\nThe real party piece was the lower pricing courtesy of CKD incentives for hybrids. The Highway Star started at RM138,800 while the Highway Star Premium remained at RM149,500.\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nUsed Nissan Navara Buying Guide\n\n\nUsed Market Prices For The Serena C26\n\n\nThe Serena\u2019s position as the undisputed go-to large \nMPV\n also translates into holding its resale value in the used market.\n\n\nExpect pricing for the CBU pre-facelift models to range from RM60k to RM 70k.\n\n\nThe facelifted, locally assembled models were sold from 2014 to 2018 and range between RM62k and RM100k.\n\n\nWhich Variant Should I Buy?\n\n\nFrom a mechanical standpoint, there are no differences between the pre-facelift and facelifted variants. Therefore, the weight of your decision lays firmly on the cosmetic aspect as well as the modicum of additional features.\n\n\nAesthetically, the facelift does carry a more modern design while the pre-facelift has begun to look a little dated. Furthermore, if you\u2019re always ferrying around kids, the screens in the Highway Star Premium would be a worthy investment to keep the little ones entertained on the road.\n\n\nHowever, if your main concern is the seating capacity, the pre-facelift models do start significantly lower and will work just as well.\n\n\nMaintenance Costs & Common Problems\n\n\nSome of the basic running and ownership costs for the Serena C26 are listed in the table below:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVariant\n\n\n2.0 Highway Star\n\n\n2.0 Highway Star Premium\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRoad Tax\n\n\nRM380\n\n\nRM380\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTire Size\n\n\n195/65R15\n\n\n195/60R16\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTire Price (per piece)\n\n\nRM235 (estimated)\n\n\nRM250 (estimated)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOil change\n\n\nRM400\n\n\nRM400\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCVT lubricant (oil + filter)\n\n\nRM620\n\n\nRM620\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany potential owners might be turned off by the hybrid part of its name with the fear of \u201chybrid battery replacement\u201d burning a hole in the wallet. As we\u2019ve pointed out earlier, the Serena isn\u2019t really a hybrid. Hence, there\u2019s no hybrid battery to replace.\n\n\nInstead, there are two regular 12V \nbatteries\n; a main one that drives the ECO motor and a secondary unit that runs the usual electrical accessories like the wipers and radio.\n\n\nOwners should note that although both are regular 12V units, they are of the Enhanced Flooded Battery (EFB) type that\u2019s more capable of recovering charges faster in conjunction with the cyclic stresses from the stop-start system.\n\n\nEFB batteries are pricier than regular lead acid 12V batteries but are closer to a lead acid unit\u2019s pricing.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEFB battery type\n\n\nVoltage / Capacity\n\n\nCost (RM)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMain \u2013 S95\n\n\n12V / 64Ah\n\n\n450 \u2013 700\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSub \u2013 M42\n\n\n12V / 27Ah\n\n\n250 \u2013 350\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn the issue of common problems, Noel Chong from JTech Autoserve, an independent specialist workshop for Nissans, shared with us that those are rare and if it occurs, can be traced to poor maintenance habits.\n\n\nHe tells us the Serena C26 is extremely reliable but like any vehicle, timely and proper maintenance is key to that dependability.\n\n\n\n\nThe first is to always use engine oil with the right viscosity as recommended by Nissan. For the Serena C26, that\u2019s fully-synthetic (0W-20) lubricant. The wrong viscosity can lead to increased engine wear and carbon build-up on the valves.\n\n\nBeing a direct-injected engine, the MR20DD is prone to increased build-up of carbon deposits on the intake valves. Noel suggests walnut blasting periodically to get rid of the residue. Expect to shell out in the region of RM500 for the treatment.\n\n\nOne factor of proper maintenance Noel doesn\u2019t recommend sticking to would be the service interval for the CVT-oil. Nissan suggests it be replaced every 80,000 km. He suggests halving the interval to 40,000 km to keep the CVT running smoothly for years to come.\n\n\nAdditionally, the Serena\u2019s CVT has a specific precise leveling procedure to operate efficiently and specialists such as JTech Autoserv possess the tools and know-how to carry out the job.\n\n\nOne thing to always keep an eye on would be the ECO motor belt and pulley assembly. It\u2019s integral to the engine\u2019s operation. Wear in the belt or pulleys can lead to problems and pricier repair work if left unchecked. Noel recommends having the system inspected frequently.\n\n\nOne of the common problems that pop up often would be unusual knocking noises from the underbody. The usual culprit would be worn subframe bushings. JTech Autoserv has more durable, upgraded polyurethane units that last longer but will install the standard items if the customer prefers that.\n\n\nConstant use of the power-sliding doors lead to issues and in the case of the Serena, it can be traced to a jammed actuator that\u2019s a cheap and easy fix.\n\n\nRead More: \nBest Family Cars in Malaysia\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPart\n\n\nSymptom\n\n\nCost (RM)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFront lower arms\n\n\nIncreased road shock / freeplay\n\n\n1,200 (OEM)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRear subframe mounts\n\n\nIncreased vibration / tramlining\n\n\n850 (OEM)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSteering rack\n\n\nKnocking sound / freeplay in steering\n\n\n1,500 (original)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRadiator fan motor\n\n\nOverheating when stationary / AC loses cooling\n\n\n300 (OEM) or 500 (original)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nECO motor system\n\n\nWorn drive/fan belt and pulley\n\n\n650\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSliding door\n\n\nJammed release actuator\n\n\n200\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSliding door\n\n\nECU module failure\n\n\n1,000\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConclusion\n\n\nWhile a lack of direct competitors has made the Serena C26\u2019s rise to the top of the large MPV food chain an easy one, it\u2019s a punch below the belt to say it wouldn\u2019t have done so on merit.\n\n\nSpacious, practical, and easy on the eyes, the Serena C26 does everything expected of a large MPV with aplomb.\n\n\nCompared to 7-seater \nSUVs\n, an MPV is a much more sensible choice as it makes ingress and egress alone much easier. Its relatively compact size doesn\u2019t make it intimidating to pilot as well.\n\n\nTo sum it up, there\u2019s little wrong with the Serena C26 and if you\u2019re in the market for a used, large MPV, it should very well be the first choice on your shortlist. It might even be the only choice.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re in the market for a pre-owned \nNissan Serena\n or similar family car, check out \nCARSOME\n today.\n\n", "Amarnath", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

However, choosing the best car for first-time drivers can be a daunting task with so many cars available in the market. You\u2019d have to consider your needs such as space, comfort, fuel economy, ease of maintenance, ride quality, and the list goes on. And with limited time to survey and test drive suitable cars, you could have a long buying process.\n\n\nFortunately, there are numerous resources to help you narrow down the right car. To help you decide, we\u2019ve considered the price, practicality, and fuel economy of some of the most popular cars in Malaysia to come up with a list of the best first cars you can \nbuy in Malaysia\n.\n\n\nEconomical City Hatchback \u2013 Perodua Axia\n\n\n\n\nThe \nPerodua Axia\n is among the most affordable new cars you can buy in Malaysia. It\u2019s great for drivers looking for a budget-friendly, compact, city car that\u2019s fuel-efficient and affordable to maintain. Powered by a 1.0L engine across the lineup, its price starts at RM23,367 for the base manual variant up to RM41,427 for the range-topping automatic AV variant. This small, five-door hatchback is big on practicality and economy. With a fuel efficiency of up to 22.5 km/L and a low price, the Axia is the best first car for budget-conscious first-time drivers, especially students and young adults.\u00a0\n\n\nSome notable features in this car are an anti-snatch hook to hold valuables such as a handbag and a key reminder so drivers don\u2019t leave their key in the ignition. The Axia even has Perodua\u2019s A.S.A. 2.0 safety suite, though only on the range-topping AV model.\n\n\nBest Economical Sedan \u2013 Perodua Bezza\n\n\n\n\nFor those who want the fuel economy of the Axia but with more space, the \nPerodua Bezza\n is a good alternative. It\u2019s just as economical to drive and maintain as the Axia, but is a more practical car overall. Plus, It\u2019s available in two variants: a fuel-efficient 1.0L engine and a more powerful 1.3L engine. Its price starts at RM33,456 for a new 1.0L manual G variant up to RM48,356 for the top-of-the-range 1.3L automatic AV variant.\n\n\nLike its sibling, the Bezza has impressive practicality. It has similar fuel consumption numbers as the Axia, multiple storage compartments throughout the cabin, and a massive 508-liter boot \u2013 the largest in its class. On the highest-spec 1.3 AV, the Bezza even has Perodua\u2019s A.S.A. 2.0.\n\n\nGreat Value Family Sedan \u2013 Proton Saga\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAs Malaysia\u2019s first national car, the \nProton Saga\n has gone through many updates and remains one of the best sedan cars for first-time drivers. Its large boot space, good NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) dampening, ease of maintenance, and ride quality makes the Saga a sound choice for drivers who are looking for a spacious car that they can drive for years. It\u2019s robust enough to carry you through different life stages, such as when you start a family.\u00a0\n\n\nThe Saga is among the most affordable sedans you can buy. It starts at RM32,800 for a new 1.3L manual transmission Standard variant and tops out at RM42,800 for the R3 Limited Edition. Being a sedan, the Saga has a decent 420-liter boot that can fit multiple luggage bags \u2013 suitable for families. As a budget car, the Saga is also affordable to maintain. Compared to other cars in its price range, it has better handling and ride quality. Thanks to Proton\u2019s ride and handling tuning, the Saga is suitable for drivers who do a fair bit of long-distance driving on highways and winding backroads.\n\n\nBest Value International Car \u2013 \nHonda City\n\n\n\n\nThe \nHonda City\n is a great value-for-money non-local sedan. It\u2019s one of the best first cars for first-time drivers who have a bigger budget. With its higher price tag, it\u2019s also equipped with more features, better NVH dampening, and more power than the other cars on this list making it a great car for drivers who want a more refined vehicle. It\u2019s powered by a 1.5L engine mated to an automatic CVT (continuously variable transmission). Prices for new units range from RM73,851.27 for the base 1.5L S variant up to RM105,610.45 for the 1.5L RS hybrid variant.\n\n\nCompared to the previous cars mentioned above, the City is bigger overall. This means the City has a roomier cabin that\u2019s more comfortable especially on long drives. Additionally, it has a boot space of 519 liters which is the biggest on this list. Although it\u2019s the largest car here, it has good fuel consumption at 18.5 km/L for the regular petrol variant and 27.8 km/L for the hybrid variant.\u00a0\n\n\nIts extensive list of features includes rear air conditioning vents, 60:40 foldable rear seats, ECON driving mode, and Hill Start Assist (HSA) across the range. The hybrid RS variant includes additional safety features in the Honda SENSING suite of technologies and Honda CONNECT. Honda CONNECT allows owners to connect their car to their smartphone and monitor its location, car diagnostics status, and remotely start or stop the engine, among other things.\n\n\nOverall Best First Car \u2013 Perodua Myvi\n\n\n\n\nThe \nPerodua Myvi\n is Malaysia\u2019s top-selling car for good reason. It\u2019s stylish, practical, and equipped with loads of safety features. These also make it one of the best first cars in Malaysia. The Myvi is a great car for new drivers as it\u2019s compact, making it easy to maneuver around town. That being said, its efficient design allows for a roomy cabin. If you\u2019re looking for a stylish first car that you\u2019ll be comfortable in for years, the Myvi is it.\u00a0\n\n\nA brand new Myvi starts at RM41,292 for the base 1.3L engine manual transmission G variant and RM52,697 for the top of the range 1.5L engine automatic AV range. The Myvi is one of the best cars for first-time drivers as it\u2019s reliable, spacious, fuel-efficient, and affordable to maintain. Even if you plan to upgrade the Myvi to a bigger car after a few years, you could get a good price on it as Myvis tend to hold their value quite well.\u00a0\n\n\nAll variants have the essential safety features you\u2019d expect from a modern car but the top variants come with Perodua\u2019s Advanced Safety Assist (A.S.A. 2.0) which includes pre-collision warning, pre-collision braking, front departure alert, and pedal misoperation control.\n\n\nTips for Buying Your First Car\n\n\nBuying a car involves numerous steps from researching, securing a car loan, to test driving the car. With all the steps required and factors to consider, it can be challenging and time-consuming to purchase the right car. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve compiled some tips to help you buy your first car.\n\n\n\n\nConsider your needs.\n You first need to determine if you really need a car and what you will need it for. Do you need a budget-friendly car for your daily commute? Or do you frequently drive long distances? Do consider looking at used cars as they are often significantly cheaper than brand new models, while still being reliable.\n\n\nDo your research.\n Once you have an idea of the type of car you need, you can look at online car blogs, car-selling platforms, or even ask your circle for advice. When considering the best car for first-time drivers, look at what the car offers, ease of maintenance, and safety. If you\u2019re looking at a second-hand car, don\u2019t be afraid to ask questions about it such as its service history, if it\u2019s been in an accident, and so on.\n\n\nConsider your budget and financing options.\n As a new driver, your budget is often limited. Therefore, make sure you can afford a car before deciding on it. Besides the price of the car, you\u2019ll also need to factor in the cost of insurance and road tax, as well as the ongoing maintenance cost of the car. Shop around for auto financing options from reputable providers that give good rates. You can even check out \nCARSOME Capital\n; CARSOME\u2019s auto financing product that offers competitive rates and an easy application process.\n\n\nInspect and test drive the car.\n Before deciding on the right car, be sure to thoroughly inspect it and take it for a test drive. It\u2019s best to bring along a friend or family member you trust to help you look out for issues with the car and help you decide. Inspect the car\u2019s exterior for signs of damage or repainting, and do a thorough check of the interior as well. Turn the car on and pay attention to its sound and if it produces any odd smell. Odd sounds and smells from the engine could mean there are issues with the parts. Lastly, take the car for a test drive and pay attention to how it drives and sounds. Make sure that all components are working and that no warning lights come on.\n\n\n\n\nRead: \nWhy Did Your Car Loan Get Rejected & How to Buy Your First Car\n\n\nThere you have it, we hope this list of best cars for first-time drivers can help you decide on the right car.

Pros and Cons\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPROS\n\n\nCONS\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReliable (regular service and maintenance will keep the car problem-free) \u2714\n\n\nPoor sound insulation especially the whining noise from the engine but this is improved on the third generation (M800)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPetrol efficient \u2013 a full tank can travel approximately 500-kilometers \u2714\n\n\nGetting up to speed is slow, especially on an incline\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpacious cabin for a family of four with plenty of legroom, headroom and storage compartments for a road trip \u2714\n\n\nInterior build quality is poor, using cheaper plastics but it has improved on the third generation (M800)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Comfortable ride as it absorbs potholes well \u2714\n\n\nRide quality is not smooth over rough surfaces\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Usable boot-space at 277-liters, expandable up to 832-liters with rear seats folded \u2013 it\u2019s enough to fit a family of four luggage \u2714\n\n\nRear seats used to fold flat on the third generation (M800), this will make arranging items \nslightly \nharder when loading\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLow maintenance costs \u2714\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSmall vehicle size (easy to park) \u2714\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrakes are well-calibrated, it\u2019s not jerky like the second generation (M600) \u2714\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeats are supportive for the lumbar \u2714\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull size spare tire \u2714\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuilt-in SmartTAG reader on the third generation (M800) \u2013 no RFID complications \u2714\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdvanced Safety Assist (A.S.A) on the third generation (M800) \u2013 an advanced driving aid in case you fall asleep at the wheel \u2714\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt is clear that the third generation \nPerodua Myvi \n(M800) is a significant upgrade over the predecessor it replaces. The body is less boxy and more sharp looking, with a lower and wider stance, making the car feel more stable.\n\n\nFurthermore, there are \nmore standard features\n now on the third generation \nMyvi\n such as \nkeyless\n \nentry\n (which allows you to lock or unlock your car by pressing the button on the door handle),\n push-start\n \nbutton \n(starting the car with a push button instead of the outdated \u201cinsert and twist\u201d method), \nfull size spare tire\n, \nLED headlights\n and \ntaillights\n (LED combination), \nacoustic windscreen \n(blocks ambient noise from outside), \nAnti-braking System (ABS)\n, \nElectronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)\n [prevents the tires from locking up and skidding], \nVehicle Stability Control \nand \ntraction control \n(stabilizes the car if it loses control), \nfour airbags\n (predecessor only had two) and a \nfive-star ASEAN NCAP crash test rating \n(improved over the four-star of its predecessor to ensure safe design standards in crashworthiness).\n\n\nFor the six airbags, you need to step up to the \nPerodua Myvi 1.5 High \nvariant and while you do get the \nPerodua\n\u2019s version of ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance System) or in \nPerodua\n\u2019s marketing terms \u2013 \nAdvanced Safety Assist\n \n(A.S.A)\n, you need to get the top of the range \nPerodua Myvi 1.5 Advance\n variant for that. At the time of launch in \n2018\n, the third generation \nMyvi\n was the cheapest car to receive such an advanced driving aid system.\u00a0\n\n\nHere\u2019s everything you need to know about \nPerodua\u2019s Advanced Safety Assist (A.S.A)\n.\n\n\n2. A Fair Price to Pay\n\n\nFrom our website\n, the price for a used \nPerodua Myvi \nranged from \nRM20,000 \nto \nRM50,000\n depending on the year, variant, condition, and mileage of the car. A fair price to pay would be around \nRM48,000\n, that can get you a \n2018 Perodua Myvi 1.5 High\n with a mileage of 65,277 KM. With a 10 percent down payment, the estimated monthly installment cost \nRM519 per month\n.\n\n\nAlternatively, if that is out of your budget then take a look at the \n2016 Perodua Myvi 1.5 SE\n for \nRM39,500 \nwith a mileage of 101,461 KM. With similar loan calculations, you\u2019re looking to pay an estimated sum of \nRM432 per month\n.\n\n\nOn the other hand, if you are looking to spend less than \nRM400\n per month then take a look at the \n2014 Perodua Myvi 1.3 EZI \npriced at \nRM32,500\n with a mileage of 65,627 KM. You\u2019re looking to pay an estimated sum of \nRM355 per month\n after factoring in a 10 percent down payment.\n\n\n3. Which Variant to Buy?\n\n\nWe recommend the third-generation \nPerodua Myvi 1.5 High\n variant as it gets you the six airbags, a more refined engine with higher power output (\nsame as the 1.5-liter engine found in the Toyota Yaris\n) and sportier trims such as larger dual-tone rims, body kit and a spoiler.\n\n\n\n\nA 2018 Perodua Myvi 1.5 High sold on CARSOME for RM49,900\n\n\n4. What Are the Common Problems?\n\n\nThe \nPerodua Myvi \nhas been Malaysia\u2019s best-selling car for so many years and you do not get such standing without its reliability. Despite the fact that the third generation \nMyvi\n is fully-designed locally without being based on the \nToyota Passo/Daihatsu Boon\n, reliability has always been a part of the \nMyvi.\n\n\nMechanically speaking, there are no common problems here except for the first generation \nMyvi \n(M300), which is known for air-conditioner compressor issues. Due to poor lubrication in the engine, the oil in the compressor can turn black after some time and will damage the air-conditioner over time.\n\n\nIf you plan to get the first generation \nMyvi\n, it is recommended to service the air-conditioner immediately after getting it. Other than that, regular service and maintenance will keep the car problem-free.\u00a0\n\n\nDo note there was a \nrecall\n by \nPerodua\n for the \nMyvi\n\u2019s fuel pump replacement, affected models were manufactured between late-2018 to 2019. Therefore, this is something to keep in mind when surveying for a used \nPerodua Myvi\n.\n\n\n5.

In an age of \nSUVs\n ruling the roost, the carmaker\u2019s first offering in that segment had to appease all stakeholders.\n\n\nOf course, it was born from a heavy synergy with partner Geely, being based on the Chinese automotive heavyweight\u2019s Boyue SUV. Of course, Proton did infuse its own prowess into various aspects of the car to better adapt it for the local requirements of consumers as well as our less-than-stellar roads.\n\n\n\n\nA 2020 Proton X70 1.8 TGDi Premium X sold for RM100,900 on CARSOME\n\n\nWith the weight of a nation on its inclining shoulders, the Proton X70 launched in 2018 to much fanfare. That it undercut the Japanese competition in price wasn\u2019t a surprise, as were the levels of equipment and refinement that was on par as well.\n\n\nNonetheless, the popularity of the X70 has recently been plagued by complaints of part shortages and gearbox malfunctions. Therefore, it begs the question, is a used X70 a great value for money proposition, or could you be left wanting, literally, more?\n\n\nTo simplify the X70\u2019s lifecycle in Malaysia, it can be split into two major updates thus far; the first was during the switch from fully-imported CBU (Complete Built-Up) to locally-assembled CKD (Complete Knocked Down) models that saw the introduction of an all-new, Geely-developed seven-speed DCT transmission. Then, earlier this year it adopted the X50\u2019s 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine for all variants save the flagship trim, which maintains the 1.8-liter engine.\n\n\nRead More:\n \n7 Car-Buying Tips to Score the Right Car for You\n\n\nProton X70 Variants Offered in Malaysia\n\n\nAt the time of its launch in 2018, the X70 was offered in four CBU variants, priced as follows:\n\n\n\n\nStandard 2WD: RM 99,800\n\n\nExecutive 2WD RM 109,800\n\n\nExecutive AWD RM 115,800\n\n\nPremium 2WD RM 123,800\n\n\n\n\nPower for all variants was courtesy of a turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder that delivered 184 PS and 285 Nm of torque. Sitting between the engine and driven wheels was a 6-speed automatic transmission.\n\n\nWhile the standard kit count was considerably impressive, distinguishing the flagship Premium trim was the full suite of bells and whistles of ADAS features that comprised Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), and Blind Spot Monitoring system.\n\n\n\n\nProton X70 Facelift\n\n\nIn early 2020, just before the pandemic plagued the world, Proton launched the CKD (locally-assembled) X70 that included a major change to its drivetrain alongside minor updates and revisions of the variants on offer.\n\n\nFocussing on improving fuel consumption and efficiency in general, the CKD X70 saw the six-speed torque converter automatic dropped in favor of the aforementioned all-new seven-speed wet-type dual-clutch transmission (DCT). The switch to the extra cog and clutch included a new shift-by-wire gear lever.\n\n\nUnder the hood, the 1.8-liter TGDi turbocharged engine remained but was updated to the latest \u2018Generation 3\u2019 version that pumped out the same 184 PS but with 15 Nm more torque for a nice round 300 Nm.\n\n\nDubbed the 7DCT, Geely claimed the new transmission was benchmarked against some of the established players in the cog-swapping market; namedropping the likes of Volkswagen\u2019s dry clutch DCT as well as the Aisin-sourced eight-speed automatic found in \nBMWs\n and \nMinis\n.\n\n\nGeely also mentioned that the 7DCT averaged an efficiency rate of 94.6 percent with a maximum of 97 percent; the latter bringing it close to figures returned by manual, three-pedal transmissions.\n\n\nThat also meant the CKD X70 saw a slight improvement in fuel consumption from 12.8km/l to 13.3km/l.\n\n\nLastly, the higher torque rating of the 7DCT allowed the torque output of the engine to be bumped up without overwhelming the transmission, as would have been the case with the outgoing six-speed auto.\n\n\nRead More: \nUsed Mazda CX-5 Buying Guide\n\n\nThat wasn\u2019t all Proton wrote though. Owing to dismal demand, the Executive AWD variant was dropped for the CKD range, replaced by a Premium 2WD variant instead. Pricing also saw reductions ranging from RM1,000 to RM5,000 with the new pricing as follows:\n\n\n\n\nStandard: RM 94,800\n\n\nExecutive: RM 106,800\n\n\nPremium: RM 119,800\n\n\nPremium X: RM 122,800\n\n\n\n\nSubsequently, the X70 received another significant refresh in 2022 that saw all variants bar the flagship Premium switch over to the \nX50\u2019s\n turbocharged 1.5-liter, three-cylinder petrol engine. Atop the X70 food chain, the Premium retains the 1.8-liter TGDi mill that still boasted a higher power output.\n\n\nInterestingly, the 2022 refresh brought about the reintroduction of the Executive AWD variant that was previously dropped.\n\n\n\n\nUsed Market Prices\n\n\nGiven the backlog of orders for new cars that\u2019s resulted in an extensive waiting period, pre-owned cars have been able to command a higher price in the used car market. It\u2019s no surprise that popular models such as C-segment SUVs hold a higher asking price.\n\n\nA quick search will place prices for the CBU 2018 to 2020 Proton X70 units in the RM80k to RM95k range, depending on the variant of course.\n\n\nAs for the 2020 CKD X70 models with the 7DCT, pricing starts at RM90k and extends well into the RM110k vicinity for a 2021 model.\n\n\nFor similar money as a \nused X70\n, you could be looking at some of its Japanese peers such as a used \nHonda CR-V\n with the caveat that the Japanese SUVs will be a couple of years older, giving the X70 a distinct advantage of being newer and likely to still be wearing the manufacturer\u2019s warranty.\n\n\nRead More: \nIs It Time to Sell or Upgrade Your Car? Here Are the Signs\n\n\nWhich One to Get?\n\n\nIn the case of the Proton X70, the safest bet will always be the Premium variant. The reasoning behind that recommendation is simple, it\u2019s got all the bells and whistles.\n\n\nOnly the Premium received ADAS features and for a family mover, the more safety the better.\n\n\nIf ADAS isn\u2019t a must-have, you can\u2019t go wrong with any of the mid or entry-level variants as the equipment level doesn\u2019t vary much and they remain mechanically identical.\n\n\nNonetheless, another cardinal aspect to keep in mind is the replacement costs for wear and tear items such as tires that vary between the Standard and Premium variants as the latter runs on 19-inch rubbers that will undoubtedly cost much more to replace.\n\n\n2020 Proton X70 CKD basic costs\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVariant\n\n\nStandard\n\n\nPremium\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRoad Tax (RM)\n\n\n360\n\n\n360\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTire Size\n\n\n225/65R17\n\n\n225/55R19\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTires/pc (RM)\n\n\n420-600\n\n\n750-900\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBattery \u2013 DIN 74 (RM)\n\n\n450-600\n\n\n450-600\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe X70 has a large 512-liter boot enough for all your balik kampung luggage\n\n\nCommon Problems with the Proton X70\n\n\nHaving selected which variant to go for, the only other paramount consideration would be the choice of transmission. Do you prefer the simplicity of the traditional torque-converter 6-speed automatic or the benefits but also possible pricier maintenance of the 7DCT?\n\n\nFurthermore, it\u2019s impossible to ignore the elephant in the room of numerous complaints surrounding parts shortages for the X70 as well as the X50. That said, the parts shortages aren\u2019t limited to just Proton but is a global problem affecting other carmakers as well. It\u2019s just that given the higher volume of sales here, the repercussions are spread wider.\n\n\nNonetheless, the larger owner demographic does make it easier to observe common issues with the model, some of which are detailed below:\n\n\nProton X70 Common Problems\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPart\n\n\nSymptoms\n\n\nCost (RM)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMain cooling fan\n\n\nNoisy operation, AC not cold, overheating\n\n\n750\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEngine mounts\n\n\nStrong vibration from engine\n\n\n1,500\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFront absorber\n\n\nNoisy suspension over bumps\n\n\n650\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoor lever\n\n\nBroken door lever\n\n\n300\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTorque converter\n (CBU X70)\n\n\nJerky gear changes, transmission juddering between 4th-5th gears\n\n\n3,000\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead More:\n 5 Habits That Are Actually Damaging Your Car\u2019s Transmission\n\n\nIn the case of the supposedly simpler 6-speed auto in the CBU units, there have been documented cases of premature failure with the torque converter itself, resulting in \njerking during gear changes\n as well as juddering between 4th and 5th gears.\n\n\nYou can expect to fork out around RM3,000 or so to resolve the issue at a service center.\n\n\nIf you\u2019re wondering why the CKD units with the 7DCT aren\u2019t covered here, it\u2019s simply down to the fact that being less than 2 years old, the transmission is still very much under Proton\u2019s five-year/unlimited mileage warranty that would see the service center rectifying or replacing any defects. Therefore, there exists a lack of independently verifiable data from independent service centrer or external workshops to more accurately gauge repair costs.\n\n\nIn the case of the 7DCT, most complaints centered around jerky shifting, especially from a standstill or in slow-moving traffic between first and second gears. So, if you\u2019re getting a CKD unit, keep an eye out for these symptoms when test-driving the car.\n\n\nOwners have also suggested carrying out a transmission adaptation/relearning that in some cases resulted in the issue being rectified. However, while this isn\u2019t a sure fix, it\u2019s something that can be attempted before major work is considered.\n\n\nFrom a maintenance point of view, the upkeep of the X70 is generally considered reasonable. For instance, the priciest scheduled maintenance occurs at the 60,000km mark with an estimated bill of RM1,100.\n\n\n\n\nAs a benchmark, here\u2019s a table of the estimated costs for scheduled maintenance of an X70:\n\n\nProton X70 CKD Maintenance Costs\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaintenance / Interval\n\n\nItems\n\n\nCost (RM)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOil change / 10,000km\n\n\nEngine oil, oil filter\n\n\n250\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAir filter / 20,000km\n\n\nEngine air filter\n\n\n60\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCabin filter / 20,000km\n\n\nN95-grade cabin filter\n\n\n100\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFuel filter / 20,000km\n\n\nFuel filter\n\n\n25\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrake servicing / 60,000km\n\n\nBrake fluid\n\n\n50\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTransmission servicing / 60,000km\n\n\nATF fluid and filter set\n\n\n350\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCoolant / 60,000km\n\n\nRadiator coolant\n\n\n100\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpark plugs / 20,000km\n\n\nNew spark plugs\n\n\n110\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConclusion\n\n\nRight now, the only aspect hampering the X70\u2019s popularity stems from the parts shortage that shows no signs of being sorted in the short term. Truth is though that the X70 isn\u2019t the only model blighted by this but is arguably the one that\u2019s feeling the pinch the most.\n\n\nOn the other hand, from a purely value-for-money perspective, the X70 is firmly atop the C-segment SUV pyramid. It\u2019s a handsome thing with continental design cues, has sufficient punch under the hood, and carries class-leading safety tech. Perhaps the only black mark on its report card could be an interior that lacks as much room as its chief Japanese rival but alas, having your cake and eating it too is still asking much in the segment.

The perks that come with getting a used car is that you would not have to worry about the depreciating cost of the car\u2019s value. A used car is also considered safer on the road as it would have gone through all its inspections and repairs. These are just some of the many reasons why a used car would be the better choice when it comes to purchasing. So if you have set your mind on getting a Subaru, do keep in mind that a used Subaru is not only a durable car or an SUV, but this brand has a reputation of long-term reliability which makes it the perfect used car!\n\n\n\n\nWhich Used Subaru Should You Buy?\n\n\nHere are some of our favorite Subaru models.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nSubaru Legacy\n\n\n\n\nSubaru Legacy has been one of the most popular sedans among families for many years. Its interior is quite comfortable, with its spacious cabin space and an integrated sound system that supports both Android and iPhone devices. Since its launch date in the 1990s, the Legacy has only gone up and improved with each of its model years. One thing that makes this car a worthy purchase is that it comes standard with all-wheel drive at an affordable suite of safety tech features. Its latest model, the 2019 Legacy comes with a 2.5L, making 175hp and an optional 3.6L flax-six paired with a CVT.\n\n\nSubaru Ascent\n\n\n\n\nThis car\n\u00a0is the brand\u2019s largest model and like most of the other models, this SUV comes standard with all-wheel drive. It is the perfect family car that will drive your kids safely to school and cover all your grocery runs regardless of the weather. Its flexible interior with three rows of seats makes it feel more like a minivan than an SUV. The 2020 Subaru Accent is manufactured with driver-assist tech, automated emergency braking as well as lane assist and comes with the same engine as its previous models.\n\n\nSubaru WRX\n\n\n\n\nIf you are looking for a car which is both powerful and affordable, then you should look at the Subaru WRX. It is a fan favorite in the rally car and dirt racing circuits and is treasured by those who love the brand. But this car does not scream comfort as it has an extremely loud cabin thanks to its rally aspects. But this powerful car comes with a 2L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine mated with a standard 6-speed automatic CVT transmission, making 268hp and 258 lb-ft of torque.\n\n\nSubaru Outback\n\n\n\n\nWhile it is actually a station wagon, Subaru calls the 2019 Outback an SUV. \nThe Outback\n has a very impressive profile \u2014 its capability to haul and tow. as well as tackle all-weather conditions make it a tough competitor to beat in its class. It is an adventurer\u2019s car. It comes with a ton of driver-assist tech on all its models, with the all-wheel coming standard on all variants.\n\n\nSubaru Forester\n\n\n\n\nSubaru Forester\n is known as the \u201cbig brother of the Subaru Outback. This model is an impressive heavy-duty SUV that offers more towing power and a bigger storage space compared to the Outback. Being the brand\u2019s favorite car, the Forester showcases Subaru\u2019s adventurous brand image perfectly. It is a car designed to take the kids to school, get your groceries as well as charge through the mud. With just the right amount of ruggedness and enough space for the whole family and gear, the Forester is built to handle adventure with style and grace.

(Used Buying Guide)", "By\n \nAmarnath", "30/12/2022", "\n\n\n\n\n", "You could say the current third-generation \nToyota Vios\n (NCP 150) is getting a little long in the tooth over here in Malaysia and you\u2019d be right as the coveted fourth generation will be here soon. It was launched a decade ago in 2013 with the usual array of improvements to take the battle to its archnemesis, the \nHonda City\n, as well as contemporary peers such as the \nNissan Almera\n and by a stretch, the \nMazda 2\n sedan.\n\n\nHowever, taking a leaf out of the European facelift playbook, the Vios underwent a facelift in 2016 that wasn\u2019t limited to the usual cosmetics and equipment smoke show. Some subtle visual redesigns paled in comparison to a new engine and transmission combo.\n\n\nThis made the NCP 150 Vios a truly unique model in that it was sold with two different powertrains across its lifespan. Both had their pros and cons and fortunately, you can still get the pre-facelift if that suits your needs more.\n\n\n\n\nA 2017 Toyota Vios 1.5 G sold for RM64,400 on CARSOME\n\n\nLet\u2019s take a look at the differences between the \npre-facelift\n and \nfacelifted\n variants as well as the common problems and maintenance costs to expect with ownership.\n\n\nToyota Vios Range in Malaysia\n\n\nThe primary difference between the two versions lies with the engine and transmission, which is where the focus will be. To the layman, they were both 1.5-liter inline-four engines with an automatic. Nonetheless, key characteristic differences saw the earlier 1NZ-FE a little punchier with more low-down torque whereas the newer 2NR-FE was more economical in terms of fuel but at the expense of some power.\n\n\nRead More: \nHistory of Toyota: The Largest Carmaker in the World\n\n\n1NZ-FE engine\n\n\nOwners of the first-generation Vios (NCP 42) will be familiar with this mill. It\u2019s been soldiering on in the Vios largely unchanged save for the usual tweaks with every facelift exercise or model change to improve fuel consumption.\n\n\nThe 1NZ-FE was a 1.5-liter, four-cylinder with VVT-i (intake side). In its final form under the hood of the pre-facelift NCP 150, it made 109 PS and 141 Nm of torque. A traditional torque-converter 4-speed auto did its best to overwhelm the front wheels with it.\n\n\nTweaks from the previous generation (NCP 93) in the form of lighter components and a redesigned air-filter housing reportedly returned a five percent improvement in fuel consumption.\n\n\n2NR-FE engine\n\n\nWith the facelift, the NCP 150 Vios became the second \nToyota\n in the country to adopt the 2NR-FE, following in the footsteps of the Toyota Avanza in the preceding year. The Vios hatchback sibling, the \nToyota Yaris\n, would also be propelled by the same engine.\n\n\nThe primary improvement with the 1.5-liter, four-cylinder 2NR-FE was the availability of dual VVT-i. This meant variable valve timing on both the intake and exhaust sides. Coupled with Iridium spark plugs, it had marked gains in fuel efficiency.\n\n\nPower, though, took a small hit, dropping negligibly to 107 PS and 140 Nm of torque in return for efficiency.\n\n\nMated to the new engine was a new transmission as well, a CVT automatic with a sequential manual mode to cycle through the 7 virtual ratios. Toyota claimed fuel efficiency went up by 18 percent.\n\n\nRead More: \nThe Toyota Corolla \u2013 11 Generations Through Images\n\n\n\n\n1NZ-FE Vs 2NR-FE Bore and Stroke\n\n\nAlthough both engines had a capacity of 1.5-liters, the 2NR-FE was more of a long-stroke engine (72 mm bore x 91.8 mm stroke) against the older 1NZ-FE (75 mm bore x 84.7 mm stroke). To recap, the bore is the diameter of each cylinder while the stroke is the distance within the cylinder the piston travels.\n\n\nThis very much remained true to the basic engine principles regarding the correlation between bore and stroke versus power and efficiency.\n\n\nTo summarize, the pistons in an engine with a shorter stroke will travel less in each combustion cycle, meaning the pistons move a greater distance in the same amount of time against a long-stroke engine. That makes more RPM, meaning more power. Furthermore, the bigger bore with short-stroke engines allows larger valves for more air movement. All this equals more power.\n\n\nOn the opposite end, a long-stroke engine will be more efficient. However, it isn\u2019t directly related to the power equation but involves surface area. Simply put, a long-stroke engine has less surface area in a cylinder during combustion, leading to less energy lost in the form of heat. This equates to a more efficient cycle.\n\n\nThe Variant To Buy And Current Market Prices\n\n\nAn easy way to identify the facelifted NCP 150 with the new engine is by the DRLs on the front bumper.\n\n\nThe pre-facelift models ran from 2014 to 2016 with pricing for these ranging between RM48,000 to RM60,000.\n\n\nIf the new engine and transmission find favor with you, expect to fork out a heftier sum between RM55,000 and RM65,000.\n\n\nAs for the best variant, in this case, it\u2019s going to be the flagship Vios G. Equipment wise, things don\u2019t change much during the facelift exercise so if the budget permits, put your money on the highest spec that carries kit such as projector headlights, an acoustic windscreen, a multi-info display, Toyota Premium Security and Solar \nFilm tint\n.\n\n\nHowever, if your budget doesn\u2019t allow for the flagship variant, it\u2019s still comforting to note that the facelift exercise in 2016 saw stability control become standard safety across the range although the airbag count remained a dismal two at the front.\n\n\nBear in mind when making your decision that the pre-facelift variants didn\u2019t possess stability control, not even in the flagship trims.\n\n\n\n\nMaintenance & Common Problems\n\n\nThe Vios is still a Toyota sedan. So rest assured, it\u2019s up there with the Corolla nameplate in terms of reliability. That said, the Vios does have some common issues that potential buyers should be aware of when looking at a particular unit.\n\n\nBoth engines are mechanically bombproof and furthermore, can lay claim to having endured the grueling and demanding motorsports life under the Toyota Gazoo Racing Vios Challenge series.\n\n\nIn terms of basic maintenance, the following table should serve as an indicative point for pricing:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaintenance / Interval\n\n\n1NZ-FE\n\n\n2NR-FE\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOil change / 10,000km\n\n\nRM175 (semi-synthetic)\n\n\nRM295 (fully-synthetic)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAir filter / 20,000km\n\n\nRM95\n\n\nRM95\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCabin filter / 30,000km\n\n\nRM25\n\n\nRM25\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrake service / 40,000km\n\n\nRM60\n\n\nRM60\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTransmission service\n\n\nRM150 (40,000km)\n\n\nRM300 (80,000km)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCoolant 160,000km, (subsequent 80,000km)\n\n\nRM120\n\n\nRM120\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpark plugs\n\n\nRM80 (40,000km)\n\n\nRM350 (100,000km)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou might notice the huge gap in pricing for the spark plugs between the two engines and as mentioned earlier, that\u2019s largely due to the shift towards pricier iridium plugs in the 2NR-FE.\n\n\nAs far as common issues go, the 1NZ-FE is guilty of sprouting minor leaks at the crankshaft oil seal and timing belt cover.\n\n\nFurthermore, with high mileage comes a noticeably lower idle. The usual suspects here could be a dirty throttle body, a faulty Idle Control Valve (ICV), or a failing Mass Air Flow sensor (MAF).\n\n\nAs for the newer 2NR-FE, there have been cases of it developing an irregular clattering noise (usually after the 100k km mark) from the timing belt area. In most cases, it\u2019s a worn belt tensioner that can be solved with a replacement.\n\n\nConclusion\n\n\nYou\u2019re most likely buying a \nVios\n for its fuel efficiency and refinement, which the latter 2NR-FE and CVT pairing in the 2016 facelift was designed to deliver.\n\n\nOn the other hand, those looking for something a little zippier with some zest in its drive will appreciate the pre-facelift 1NZ-FE and its stouter lower-end torque. Although it does lose out in terms of fuel consumption, it\u2019s still a Vios, so you won\u2019t exactly be burning a hole in your wallet with trips to the petrol station.\n\n\nAt the end of the day, you can\u2019t go wrong with either version of the Vios. It all boils down to your budget and what exactly you\u2019re looking for in your Toyota sedan. Rest assured, it\u2019ll serve you reliably for years to come.\n\n\nVisit \nCARSOME\n to find your dream car or download our app from the \nGoogle Play Store\n or \nApple App Store\n today!\n\n", "Amarnath", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Apakah kepentingan mengambil vaksin Covid-19?\n\n\nVaksin Covid-19 diberikan untuk mengawal penularan wabak Covid-19. Semakin ramai penduduk menerima suntikan vaksin, ia secara tidak langsung membentuk Imuniti Kelompok atau \nHerd Immunity. \nIa bukan sahaja dapat mengurangkan risiko jangkitan yang lebih serius, malah dapat melindungi golongan yang berisiko yang tidak layak menerima vaksin.\n\n\n4. Bagaimana saya boleh mendapatkan maklumat lanjut mengenai vaksin?\n\n\nAnda boleh mendapatkan maklumat lebih lanjut berkaitan vaksin dengan bertanya kepada pegawai atau petugas kesihatan yang bertugas atau melalui laman web rasmi yang tepat dan boleh dipercayai.\n\n\n5. Apakah vaksin yang akan digunakan di Malaysia?\n\n\nTerdapat beberapa jenis vaksin yang akan digunakan di Malaysia, antaranya:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nmRNA keluaran Pfizer-BioNtech;\n\n\nViral vector\n keluaran AstraZeneka;\n\n\nInactivated\n keluaran Sinovac;\n\n\nRecombinant viral vector\n keluaran Cansino;\n\n\nViral vector\n keluaran Gamaleya.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Apakah yang perlu dilakukan selepas menerima suntikan vaksin Covid-19?\n\n\nSetelah menerima suntikan vaksin COVID-19, penerima vaksin perlu:\n\n\n1. Berada di ruang pemerhatian yang ditetapkan sekurang-kurangnya selama 15 hingga 30 minit. Maklumkan kepada petugas kesihatan atau dapatkan rawatan segera sekiranya mengalami tanda-tanda berikut selepas menerima vaksin Covid-19 \n\u2013 \nKesukaran bernafas, muka, bibir dan tekak membengkak, denyutan jantung yang sangat cepat, ruam teruk timbul di seluruh badan, pening dan lemah tubuh badan.\n\n\n2. Dalam tempoh empat (4) hingga 30 hari selepas divaksin, dapatkan rawatan sekiranya anda;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMengalami sakit kepala yang baru dan teruk serta tidak dapat dikawal dengan ubat tahan sakit atau bertambah teruk;\n\n\nSakit kepala yang bertambah teruk ketika berbaring atau tunduk;\n\n\nSakit kepala luar biasa yang disertai dengan:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPenglihatan kabur, loya dan muntah;\n\n\nKesukaran bertutur;\n\n\nRasa lemah, mengantuk atau sawan;\n\n\nTerdapat tompok merah baru di bawah kulit, lebam atau pendarahan yang tidak dapat dijelaskan;\n\n\nSesak nafas atau sakit dada, kaki bengkak atau sakit perut berterusan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Penerima vaksin perlu sentiasa mengamalkan norma baharu dan mengikuti langkah pencegahan penyakit Covid-19.\n\n\n4. Anda perlu menyimpan kad vaksinasi yang diberi oleh anggota kesihatan. Kad vaksinasi ini juga akan menunjukkan tarikh dos kedua vaksin yang perlu diambil.\n\n\n7. Apakah yang perlu dilakukan sekiranya saya mengalami kesan sampingan selepas suntikan?\n\n\nSekiranya anda mengalami kesan sampingan selain yang dinyatakan di atas, anda disarankan untuk melaporkan kepada klinik kesihatan terdekat dan mendapatkan rawatan dengan segera. Ini kerana kemungkinan terdapat kesan sampingan lain yang belum dilaporkan.\n\n\n8. Adakah saya dilindungi sepenuhnya setelah menerima vaksin Covid-19?\n\n\nVaksin mula menunjukkan keberkesanan melalui peningkatan antibodi dalam badan bermula dari hari ke-12 selepas dos pertama diberikan. Pembentukan antibodi akan meningkat secara mendadak selepas pemberian dos kedua. Ini bermaksud, seseorang akan dilindungi secara optimum selepas menerima kedua-dua dos vaksin.\n\n\nNamun begitu, penerima vaksin masih disarankan untuk mengamalkan langkah pencegahan dengan mempraktikkan 3W (\nWash, Wear, Warn\n) serta mengelakkan 3C \u2013 \nConfined Space\n (Sempit), \nCrowded\n (Sesak) dan \nClose Conversation\n (Sembang dekat).\n\n\nNota:\n\u00a0Jika anda mempertimbangkan untuk\u00a0\nmembeli kereta terpakai\n\u00a0\natau\u00a0\nmenjual kereta lama\n\u00a0anda, layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.\u00a0Carsome\u00a0merupakan platform\u00a0\njual beli kereta terpakai\n\u00a0\nt\nerbaik\n di Malaysia.\n\n", "Ahmad Azwadie Azman", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

However, most of us spend a lot of time driving with our significant other, whether it\u2019s driving each other to the office, to do the groceries, or to a fancy dinner. With Valentine\u2019s Day coming up, now is the perfect time to turn your car into a romantic space and impress your partner. Below are some tips to turn up the romance factor in your car and set the mood for the perfect date.\n\n\n\n\n1. Add Some Fragrance with a Car Air Freshener\n\n\nScents can evoke powerful emotions and help set the tone for a date or a night out, even more so on Valentine\u2019s Day. So make sure you keep your car smelling good when you pick up your date. If you know what your significant other\u2019s favorite scent is, you can use an air freshener with that scent in your car. You can even keep some of your favorite essential oils in your car to elevate the atmosphere even more. Just be sure to not overdo it \u2013 you wouldn\u2019t want to overwhelm your date with strong smells and suffocate them.\n\n\n2. Create a Playlist with Your Favorite Songs\n\n\nJust like scents, music can trigger positive emotions and memories. So instead of just listening to random songs on the radio this Valentine\u2019s Day, why not curate a playlist of songs you both enjoy? You could include songs from your first dance, your favorite karaoke tunes, or any other song you think your partner would enjoy. Have a mix of songs in your playlist and not just romantic ones. That way, you both can have an impromptu karaoke session and possibly lots of laughs.\n\n\n3. Get Some Cozy Cushions\n\n\nWhether you\u2019re going on a long road trip or just having a conversation in your parked car, some plush cushions can provide extra comfort and turn your car into a cozy place. Even if you can\u2019t use the cushions when you\u2019re driving, your partner could always use one to get more comfortable. You could get cushions in your and your partner\u2019s favorite colors, have them covered in patterns you both love, or even get extra fluffy and huggable cushions. You could even keep a plush toy in the car like a teddy bear of your partner\u2019s favorite animal to make your car romantic and inviting.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nHow to Maintain Your Car\u2019s Shine\n\n\n4. Hide Little Gifts and Surprises in Your Car\n\n\nEverybody loves surprises, especially if they\u2019re gifts. This Valentine\u2019s Day, you can show that you appreciate your significant other by hiding little treats or gifts in your car and having them find the items. Plus, it\u2019s fun and exciting for both of you. You could hide a nice box of chocolates, gift cards, or even conversation starter cards with fun questions. Then, you can use these cards to play a fun question-and-answer game with your partner.\u00a0\n\n\nTo turn up the romantic factor, you can even create a card detailing your itinerary for date night and surprising your partner with it. Also, be sure to hide these in your car\u2019s designated storage spaces like the glove box or center console, as loose items in the cabin can create a safety issue.\n\n\n\n\nFun Car Date Ideas\n\n\nA typical date for most people would be dinner at a nice restaurant, going to the movies, or a romantic getaway. However, with the increasing COVID-19 cases, many of us would understandably be hesitant to spend much time in public places. Luckily, with just a little creativity, you can have a fun date anywhere, even in your car. Here are some fun date ideas you can have in your car:\n\n\n1. Go For a Scenic Drive\n\n\nSometimes, the journey is just as good as the destination. Instead of going to a crowded place, you can plan a short getaway with your partner and go for a leisurely drive on a scenic route. You can either drive around the city at night to enjoy the lights or go out of town to enjoy the sights of nature along our highways and old trunk roads. Either way, you can have a good time as long as you have the right person by your side.\n\n\nRead More: \nSigns You Should Sell or Upgrade Your Car\n\n\n2. Have a Parked Car Heart-to-Heart Chat\n\n\nIf you\u2019ve ever had a conversation in a parked car, then you know that it\u2019s just more fun and intimate, especially if you do it with your significant other. You can do this parked outside your house, at a nearby parking lot, or even at a scenic spot atop a hill. The small space and quietness in your car can create a romantic atmosphere that makes it perfect to get to know each other better.\n\n\n3. Have an In-Car Dinner or Picnic\n\n\nIf you prefer to not dine in public, why not pack some food and have dinner in your car? You can grab a drive-thru meal from your favorite place or even pack a homemade meal and have a picnic in the backseat. While you\u2019re dining, you can enjoy some music or do some traffic-watching in the comfort of your car.\n\n\nAs you can see, there are a lot of things you can do to make your car romantic. These tips are not only simple to do, but work great even outside of Valentine\u2019s Day. That said, having the right car is also important for a smooth drive on date nights and when running daily errands.\u00a0\n\n\nChoose CARSOME for Peace of Mind\n\n\nWhen you buy a\u00a0\nCARSOME Certified car\n, you can rest assured that you\u2019re getting a car that has safety beyond standards, complete comfort, and refurbished aesthetics.

Toyota Malaysia rolled out their upgraded invention \u2013 the \nVios 2019\n, equipped with a brand-new facelift.\n\n\n\n\nJust to be clear, though this Vios may look all new, it is not a new generation car (it is still part of the \n3rd generation Vios\n) but an upgrade from the previous generation (think the iPhone 4 upgrade to an iPhone 4S!). Some of the main upgrades that can be seen includes the exterior frame of the car, the brand new engine and its safety features.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat is New?\n\n\n\n\nThe All-Powerful Engine\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis third generation Vios is powered by an all new 1.5L 4-cylinder Dual-VVTi engine with a codename 2NR-FE that produces 107PS and 140 Nm of torque. IT is linked to a CVT with 7 virtual ratios that replaced 1NZ-FE VVT-i used in all the previous models. This engine makes driving and accelerating smoother, gives the car better fuel efficiency as well as equipped with valve timing systems that vary on the input valves and exhaust valves.\n\n\nAlthough the engine is said to be similar to the previous models, the Dual-VVTi engine is paired with a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with a 7-speed Sport Sequential Shiftmatic mode and there is a drive mode switch for Eco, Normal and Sport which makes this car even better. The combination of the new engine and the CVT gearbox offers fuel efficiency up to 18% compared to the other models. It goes along with the Energy Efficient Vehicles (EEV) recognition that the car received as well.\n\n\n\n\nThe Specifications and Safety Features\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs said previously, the safety features for the Toyota Vios 2018 has also been optimized and your peace of mind is their priority in creating this car. The engineers went the extra mile to ensure that everyone that rides the car are kept safe.\u00a0 All the different variations are equipped with Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) that detects understeering or oversteering while cornering, Traction Control (TRC) that detects wheel spin on slippery road surfaces and helps by adjusting braking force, Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) that maintains brake pressure and prevents the car from rolling backwards on a slope, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Daytime Running Lights, Parking Sensors, Follow Me Home function and 7 SRS airbags (driver, front passenger, side, curtain and driver\u2019s knee).\n\n\nSome additional specs that can be found in the 1.5G variation includes Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) that can detect vehicles that may not be visible to the driver when changing lanes, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA). Other than that, both the 1.5G and the 1.5E is also equipped with the Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) that gives the driver a detailed 360 degree view of the car for maneuvering in tight spaces, Front Digital Video Recorder (DVR) to record your journey for your protection and the Multi- information Display (MID) that can be switched between different displays such as Eco Wallet, fuel economy record and fuel economy rank.\n\n\nThe third generation Vios is offered in 3 different variations \u2013 Vios 1.5J, Vios 1.5E and Vios 1.5G. The price for 1.5J starts from RM 77,200 while the 1.5E starts at RM 81, 200. The most expensive variation, the 1.5G is sold at a starting price of RM 87, 300. All these prices are the \u2018on the road price\u2019 (OTR) and come without insurance. The warranty for the Vios 2019 is for 5 years and all the variations can be found in 5 different colors which are Dark Blue Metallic, Red Mica Metallic, Altitude Black, Silver Metallic and Super White II\n\n\n\n\nThe Interior and Exterior\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe interior design of the Vios 2019 showcases its news design, one that is more elegant and trendy. The dashboard and the aircon control are re-designed and replaced with digital and auto-air-conditioning. Other than that, the back seat passengers can charge their mobile devices with the USB charging port that is found in the Centre Console Box while enjoying the great music that comes from the 6 speaker systems all around the car and various storage spaces.\u00a0 The 1.5G variation is equipped with an Optitron Meter with Multi-information Display (MID) and a DVD-AVX infotainment system. The addition of reverse camera, LED back lights, fog lights, parking sensors and auto-folding side mirrors makes this model perfect.\n\n\nOther than that, the car is also furnished with Electrochromic Rear-View Mirror, projector headlights, and stylish 16-inch alloy rims in all its tires. The seating area for the 1.5G has leather seat covers while the 1.5E and 1.5J uses fabric seat covers.\n\n\nIn conclusion, the Vios 2019 can be classified as the perfect model in the middle-sized sedan category. While maintaining some great specs that can be found in the older generation, the upgrades in this Vios gives this car the best value for your money.

The Toyota GR Supra Racing Concept is a modern racing concept that showcases the brand\u2019s commitment to bring its iconic sportscar back to life! It is rumoured that the production Supra\u2019s reveal could be at next year\u2019s Detroit Auto Show, the same event where Toyota unveiled the FT-1 concept years ago. Developed by the go-faster Toyota Gazoo Racing division, the concept signals the return of the legendary Supra that ended production in 2002. The Supra will be sharing the same platform with the next-gen BMW Z4, as the final production model will be available only in the \u201cGran Turismo Sport\u201d for PlayStation 4 next month.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith the 2019 GR Supra, the emphasis is placed on lightweight materials, windscreen and side windows made out of plastic. The doors are lined with carbon fibre panels with the cabin stripped down to the fundamentals. Compared to the glorious 2014\u2019s FT-1 concept, the GR Supra will have a cabin very much focused for competition, a racing dashboard, OMP driver\u2019s seat and safety harness.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Toyota Supra still enjoys an iconic status among sports car aficionados all over the world. Rewind the years, the Supra gained further popularity from its feature in the Gran Turismo\u00ae driving simulator video game as well as the \u2018movie car star\u2019 driven by Brian O\u2019Conner (played by Paul Walker) in the first film in \nThe Fast and the Furious\n global action movie franchise.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe original Supra badge was first seen in 1978 known as the A40 before three generations continued the tradition \u2013 the A60 in 1981, A70 in 1986 and A80 in 1993. Thereafter, the front engine; rear-wheel drive GT sportscar remained fully in production until the final generation in 2002 where it was Toyota\u2019s most powerful production model.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe development of the GR Supra is one that is true to the beliefs of Kiichiro Toyoda, founder of Toyota. He believed that the challenges of performance and durability can directly help Toyota\u2019s development in building better cars, and generate interest and excitement among motoring fans. By bringing in employees into racing garages and the pit lane, it improves their observational skills, personal development aspects in working under extreme, and highly-pressured environments.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHere\u2019s what\u2019s interesting. The new fifth-generation Supra is a joint project with BMW, the Supra\u2019s project chief Tetsuya Tada mentioned during an interview with \nBBC\u2019s Top Gear\n, he admits that working with BMW was very different to working with Subaru on the 86 and BRZ project.\n\n\nWhen speaking with \nCarAdvice\n, he added \u201cI can give you one example: the 86 and BRZ \u2013 you know about this sports car now \u2013 the reason why we decided to jointly develop 86 and BRZ with Subaru was because, sports cars are extremely difficult in terms of business case, special parts, investment. So when working together with Subaru, the initial understanding was that we would seek out as much common parts as possible, the only differences was badge and colours.\u201d\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAs a badge that is dominant in the All-Japan GT or Super GT series \u2013 winning the GT500 class four times, the Toyota Supra also competed in American IMSA sportscar racing in the 1980s and twice appeared at Le Mans in 1990s.\n\n\nWill this car solidify and make their mark again in the new age?\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIf you need to sell your car, Carsome Je-Lah.

Here are four best dashcam brands in Malaysia and how do you choose one for your car.\n\n\n1. \n70Mai\n (RM175 \u2013 RM 619)\n\n\nTons of features, clear output, and inexpensive pricing makes 70Mai the top brand when it comes to the preferred dashcam choice in Malaysia. Offering an extensive range of dashcams from beginner models to premium models with 4K resolution and driver-assistance system, they\u2019ve got you covered with all your dashcam needs.\n\n\nTheir best selling model, t\nhe \n70mai Dashcam Pro Plus+ A500S Car Recorder\n has a built-in GPS system, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), as well as a 1944p super high resolution, all for a low price of RM309!\n\n\n2. \nDDPai\n (RM149 \u2013 RM1799)\n\n\nA high end dashcam brand that focuses on stylish designs to blend in with your car,\u00a0 and a superior visual quality, DDPai\u2019s dashcams have superior visual quality and are an impressive piece of equipment that all cars should have.\n\n\nAt just RM249, the \nDDPAI Z40 1944P Dash Cam\n is their highly sought-after model with all the basic features such as 1944P Full High Definition (FHD) resolution, IPS monitor, and a loop recording function. If you\u2019re aiming for the extra features such as the built-in GPS and Sense Reality Function, you will have to splurge a bit for a more advanced model \u2013 the top of the line \nDDPai X2SPro Dashcam\n will cost you around RM899, but it is highly worth it.\n\n\n3. \nGOQ \n(RM75 \u2013 RM288)\n\n\nFor the budget conscious, the GOQ brand dashcam offers all the necessary features in a package that\u2019s light on your wallet without sacrificing quality. The low price tag means you will have to give up on advanced features such as built-in GPS and night time recording.\n\n\nThe \nGOQ D90 3-Way Record Car Camera Dashcam\n is their most successful model and it is equipped with a 170 degree wide angle front lens, a 720p front camera video resolution, and a G-Sensor that enables the dashcam to automatically start recording when it detects a crash. Priced at only RM89, it is definitely a steal for bargain hunters out there who are looking for a no nonsense dashcam.\n\n\n4. \nVIOFO\n (RM404 \u2013 RM1791)\n\n\nFrom action cameras to dashcams, VIOFO aims to create products that are premium, practical, and reliable for the masses. Staying true to their brand, they offer mid range to premium dashcams with a discreet design and innovative system that is packed with benefits for you.\n\n\nTheir top of the line model, the \nVIOFO A129 Pro Duo 4K Dual Dash Cam\n will set you back RM936, but you have to take into consideration that you are getting a front camera with 4K Ultra High Definition (UHD) resolution, Sony Exmor R Starvis image sensors, as well as Wi-Fi connectivity over its native app that allows you to quickly download your footages to your phone for editing and sharing.\n\n\nHow to Choose a Dashcam\n\n\nImage Quality\n\n\nEven if you have a recording of an accident happening, there is nothing you can do if the image is blurry and you are not able to identify the plate number of the car involved.\n\n\nThis is why it is best to choose a dashcam with a resolution of at least 720p to ensure you will end up with a clear image. If you can stretch your budget, a dashcam with 2K or 4K resolution will provide you with an even sharper image that could help you win an argument or two in the future.\n\n\n\n\nAdditionally, a higher resolution dashcam means you will need a bigger storage to store your videos. So, don\u2019t skimp out on memory cards. One minute of footage recorded in 4K will require about 450MB in memory, it is recommended that you get a memory card with a capacity of 128GB just to be safe. After all, you don\u2019t want your precious dashcam footage to be overwritten when you need it most.\n\n\nMounting Options\n\n\nWhen it comes to mounting your dashcam, there are three ways to do it, depending on the mounting options that comes with your dashcam.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdhesive Mount\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe first and most common is by using an adhesive, mainly a double sided tape that is fixed on the dashcam\u2019s surface and your windshield. This mounting method is the most secure and long lasting but you need to be precise when applying the adhesive.\n\n\nGetting the right angle using the adhesive mount is quite difficult and you also might risk staining your windshield if the adhesive is reapplied too many times. But if you can get it right, your dashcam will not be as noticeable as using the other methods.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSuction Cup Mount\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe second way to mount your dashcam is by using a base connected to a suction cup that is attached to your windshield. A suction mount is so flexible to use that you can freely reposition it to get the right angle.\n\n\nUnfortunately, this mount type does not last very long and it also takes a lot of space on your windshield. Over time, it will lose its sturdiness and the holding power of the joints will also loosen, causing your dashcam to limp around if not properly secured.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBracket Connected to Rear View Mirror\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe third method you can use to mount your dashcam is by using a bracket to affix your dashcam to the back of your rear view mirror. Mounting your dashcam using this method is very easy and it also creates a low profile look for your dashcam, as it blends in with your rear view mirror.\n\n\nBut its major downside is that the angle for your dashcam\u2019s view will be limited to the angle of your rear view mirror. This way, you will not be able to get a proper recording of what is happening in front of you. It is best to use this mounting method with a dashcam that has a large field of view.\u00a0\n\n\nParking Mode\n\n\nSome dashcams include a Parking Mode feature where it is able to start recording automatically when activity is detected while the car is parked and the engine is off. It acts like a surveillance camera that uses G-sensors and/or motion detectors to determine when to start recording.\n\n\nThe downside of this feature is that it requires the dashcam to draw power from the car\u2019s battery constantly. To avoid draining your car battery while using this function, you can choose to either use a modern hardwiring kit to connect it to your car\u2019s fuse box or by using an external battery pack to power your dashcam.\n\n\nConnectivity\n\n\nAnother great feature you should look out for when choosing a dashcam is the connectivity options. While most dashcams requires you to access its footage through the memory card only, some dashcams make this easier for you with a built-in bluetooth or wi-fi connection.\n\n\nAll you have to do is connect your phone to the dashcam via an app (which varies according to the brand) and you\u2019ll be able to view and manage the videos in real time. Although dashcams with this feature included usually have\u00a0 a more expensive price tag, it allows a quick and easy access to your footage, which is very useful during an emergency.\n\n\nEven if you have the most sophisticated dashcam installed, it will not prevent accidents from happening. Please remember that you should always drive with caution. Obey the speed limit, use your turn signals, and focus on the road ahead when driving.\n\n\nWith that, we hope you\u2019ll be able to find a dashcam with all the features that suits your needs.\n\n", "Haziq Asyraf\nA self-proclaimed foodie and gamer whose passion for food and games has recently extended to cars.", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Buzz concept electric vehicle has been announced by Volkswagen.\u00a0\u201cFor me, the I.D. Buzz concept is the most beautiful and most exciting electric car in the world,\u201d said Dr. Herbert Diess, Chairman of the Board of Management for the Volkswagen brand, in Pebble Beach, California.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe I.D. Buzz is the second EV concept that VW has put forward for production after the original I.D. concept. Slated to enter production around 2019 as a 2020 model, this new electric VW SUV is matched with the I.D. Crozz concept by appearance. All three use VW\u2019s Modular Electric Drive kit (or MEB in short for its German acronym). The MEB is a group of components and chassis parts engineered to maximize the potential of electric drive and future technology.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u201cThese cars will offer everything \u2013 and even more \u2013 than you have seen from other electric carmakers,\u201d said Diess. \u201cAnd they will be much more affordable. It took you everywhere with your friends, it was a car but also a home on wheels, it was both reliable and unconventional, it was highly emotional. It was and still is a wonderful car.\u201d says Diess. .\u201d\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDesigned to recall the original Type 2 Microbus without mimicking it, The I.D. Buzz concept has won several awards in the months since it was revealed at the Detroit Auto Show. The front V in the bodywork calls back to the two-tone predecessor on the original Bus, but in the I.D. Buzz carries a light strip that surrounds the vehicle and gives it a unique visual signature. The I.D. Buzz managed to look modern and timeless with its near-zero body overhangs and 22-inch wheels as the LED headlights also have hexagonal segments that act as \u201ceyes\u201d to communicate the vehicle\u2019s status.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInterestingly, the first VW Bus sold in the United States in 1950 had just 30 hp. The I.D. Buzz concept boasts a 369 hp from electric motors on each axle, has all-wheel drive and the 111 kWh battery pack that provides an estimated 483 km of range. The VW fast-charge system can recharge about 80 per cent of its energy capacity at 150 kW in 30 minutes.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe I.D Buzz concept also offers a futuristic autonomous technology namely its fully automated \u201cI.D. Pilot\u201d mode that could go into production by 2025. It continues from the fold-away steering wheel and pop-up laser scanners in the roof to a heads-up display that integrates augmented reality. The design and engineering of the I.D. Buzz concept and MEB platform provides an ample space for passengers or cargo, with a expansive view of the surroundings.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\u201cThe iconic car of the electric age must be a Volkswagen\u201d\u00a0 -Dr. Herbert Diess\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe new I.D. Buzz will be the seventh generation of the bus. Over time, the vehicle evolved in style but always retained its character, versatility, and ability to draw or carry a crowd. To add on, the exterior I.D. Buzz harkens to that first generation make which sports a two-tone V-nose, rectangular windows, a hint of a windshield sunshade, and a gesture at the rear side air vents that characterized the original.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Volkswagen Passat\u2019s signature is the brand\u2019s latest modular transverse matrix (MQB) platform. \nClick here\n to read more!\n\n\nSelling your existing car?

VW Jetta menawarkan pemanduan penuh \ntrendy\n yang menggabungkan elemen \nsporty\n, elegan, keselamatan dan penggunaan bahan api yang efisien. Malah, reka bentuk VW Jetta yang menarik dan klasik, dipadankan dengan elemen moden seperti rim aloi bersaiz 16 inci, gril krom dan ekzos berkembar menambahkan lagi ciri \nsporty\n model ini.\n\n\n\n\nNamun begitu, tanpa pengetahuan dan ilmu yang betul mengenai kereta terpakai, anda mungkin terbeli \u2018masalah\u2019 yang mungkin membebankan anda. Kereta yang sepatutnya menjadi penyelesaian kepada masalah pengangkutan anda mungkin menjadi beban tambahan yang memeningkan kepala anda.\n\n\nPanduan Pembelian Kereta Volkswagen Jetta Terpakai\n\n\nSebelum membuat keputusan untuk membeli model Volkswagen Jetta terpakai, anda disarankan untuk mempertimbangkan perkara-perkara berikut. CARSOME menyenaraikan 13 garis panduan berikut untuk anda yang mungkin berminat untuk memiliki kereta VW Jetta terpakai dan perkara yang perlu diberi perhatian semasa memandu uji model kereta ini.\n\n\n#1 Pandu Uji Pada Waktu Siang\n\n\nAnda disarankan untuk melakukan pandu uji pada waktu siang. Anda disyorkan untuk melakukan pemeriksaan kereta pada waktu siang supaya lebih senang untuk anda mengesan sebarang kerosakan, kesan kemik, calar dan sebagainya pada kereta yang mungkin sukar untuk dilihat pada waktu malam. Peruntukkan masa yang bersesuaian untuk memandu uji kereta anda untuk mengelakkan anda daripada tergesa-gesa.\n\n\n#2 Pemeriksaan Berkala\n\n\nSebelum membeli mana-mana kereta terpakai, pastikan terdapat rekod servis yang lengkap dan jadual penyelenggaraan yang diikuti dengan baik oleh pengguna sebelumnya. Hal ini kerana, terdapat sesetengah pemilik kenderaan yang tidak mengikuti jadual penyelenggaraan yang disarankan oleh pengeluar kereta.\n\n\n#3 Penukaran Minyak Berkualiti\n\n\nPenukaran minyak hitam yang berkualiti penting bagi model VW Jetta dengan caj turbo (\nturbocharge\n). Secara amnya, penggunaan minyak yang berkualiti dan selang penukaran minyak yang sesuai berupaya memanjangkan jangka hayat cas turbo. Periksa rekod servis kereta oleh pemilik sebelumnya untuk info lanjut.\n\n\n#4 Periksa Enjin\n\n\nPeriksa sama ada terdapat karat atau hakisan pada bahagian enjin atau mana-mana komponennya. Selain itu, pastikan tali sawat berada dalam keadaan baik, tidak haus dan longgar.\n\n\n#5 Prestasi Transmisi Automatik\n\n\nPeriksa sama ada transmisi automatik beralih dengan lancar atau tidak. Selain itu, dengar sama ada terdapat bunyi kuat yang luar biasa terhasil daripada enjin kereta.\n\n\n\n\n#6 Prestasi GLI atau 2.0T Turbo Charged\n\n\nUntuk model VW Jetta dengan enjin gas, tiada pemeriksaan visual untuk mengenal pasti kerosakan yang berlaku tanpa membuka enjinnya. Walau bagaimanapun, anda boleh mengesan sebarang kerosakan pada kereta dengan melihat petunjuk kerosakan yang menyala pada papan pemuka. Selain itu, anda juga boleh mengesan kod ralat semasa menggunakan pembaca OBD kerana adakalanya kerosakan tidak memicu petunjuk kerosakan.\n\n\n#7 Periksa Sistem Minyak\n\n\nPastikan anda memeriksa sistem minyak untuk mengesan sama ada terdapat kebocoran minyak atau tidak. Langkah ini penting untuk mengelakkan anda daripada mengeluarkan belanja yang besar untuk membaiki sistem minyak pada masa akan datang.\n\n\n#8 Bunyi Luar Biasa\n\n\nTutup kipas, radio dan peranti lain yang ada semasa memandu uji kenderaan yang ingin dibeli untuk mengesan sebarang bunyi luar biasa dan pelik yang terhasil pada kelajuan yang berbeza: semasa berhenti, semasa memecut dan semasa menghidupkan enjin. Kemudian, hidupkan kipas dan ulang langkah yang sama. Kebiasaannya, bunyi yang terhasil menunjukkan terdapat kemungkinan kerosakan pada kereta anda.\n\n\n#9 Periksa \nSunroof \n\n\nKereta dengan \nsunroof\n boleh dikatakan sebuah ciri yang sangat \u2018\ncool\n\u2019 terutamanya buat golongan muda. \nSunroof\n secara tidak langsung menjadikan kereta anda tampil lebih berkarisma dan seksi! Namun begitu, perlu diingatkan bahawa jika anda ingin mendapatkan mana-mana kereta terpakai yang mempunyai \nsunroof\n, pastikan anda buka dan tutup \nsunroof \nberulang kali dan periksa sama ada terdapat bunyi geseran besi atau plastik. Jika ada, ia menandakan terdapat serpihan pada trek laluan yang boleh menjejaskan prestasi motor \nsunroof\n.\n\n\n#10 Uji Pengelap Cermin Depan (\nWiper\n)\n\n\nPengelap cermin depan sangat penting jika anda tinggal di Malaysia yang terkenal dengan cuaca panas dan lembap sepanjang tahun. Oleh itu, semasa memandu uji kereta anda, hidupkan pengelap cermin depan dengan kelajuan yang berbeza. Adakalanya, pengelap cermin depan tidak berfungsi disebabkan oleh sistem pendawaian elektrik dan motor pengelap cermin depan yang sudah rosak. Anda mungkin tidak mahu mengetahui tentang kerosakannya semasa memandu dalam musim hujan, bukan?\n\n\n\n\n#11 Periksa Tayar dan Rim Aloi\n\n\nBunga tayar yang telah haus perlu digantikan untuk mengelakkan risiko berlaku kemalangan yang lebih serius. Pastikan juga kesan haus pada tayar adalah sekata. Jika kesan haus tidak sekata, ini bermaksud terdapat masalah pada bahagian \nsuspension\n kenderaan anda. Selain itu, periksa juga sama ada terdapat kerosakan, karat dan sebagainya pada bahagian rim kereta. Periksa dengan pengedar sama ada kereta yang ingin dibeli masih dilindungi oleh waranti karat daripada Volkswagen untuk penggantian.\n\n\n#12 Kempen Panggil Balik (\nRecall Campaigns\n)\n\n\nMinta pengedar anda untuk menyemak nombor VIN melalui sistem komputer untuk mengenal pasti sama anda terdapat \nkempen panggil balik\n yang tertunggak bagi model yang ingin dibeli ini. Kempen panggil balik merupakan perkara biasa yang dilakukan oleh mana-mana pengeluar kereta di seluruh dunia sekiranya ia melibatkan risiko keselamatan kenderaan, pemandu dan penumpang.\n\n\n#13 Waranti Kilang\n\n\nSemasa membeli VW Jetta terpakai, sahkan status dan pembatasan (\nlimitation\n) waranti kilang bagi model kereta yang ingin dibeli tersebut.\n\n\n\n\nDengan pengetahuan yang betul mengenai kereta terpakai, kita boleh menjimatkan banyak wang berbanding mendapatkan kereta baharu. Namun begitu, jika anda merasakan proses yang perlu dilakukan terlalu banyak dan terlalu rumit untuk difikirkan, anda boleh mendapatkan model \nVolkswagen Jetta terpakai\n \nidaman anda tanpa memeningkan kepala di \nCARSOME\n \u2013 dijamin bebas banjir dan bebas kemalangan serius!

If you are in the field of buying a car, why not look for THE car that would make a difference?\u00a0 We totally meant the Volkswagen Jetta, a compact sedan that combines modern advancement with its trademark qualities of sleek, subtle styling and dependable operation. Better yet, buying a used VW Jetta comes with all that amazing features but at a fraction of price.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nJetta was introduced by Volkswagen back in 1979 when they noticed that the traditional sedan would sell better in the US than the Golf hatchback. 6 generations later, VW rolled out their latest Jetta, the 2020 Volkswagen Jetta, making this their most advanced model yet as it packs some great features that would make every car enthusiast excited. Some of the features include:\n\n\n\n\nThe starting price of a used VW Jetta starts at RM 30, 000 which is about 1/4 of the original price of a brand new Jetta.\u00a0\n\n\nIts super economic fuel consumption (5.0L /100km) making the Jetta the most fuel-efficient VW available,\n\n\nThe 10-colour LED ambient lighting system that can be adjusted based on the driver\u2019s liking\n\n\nA Digital Cockpit, a 10.25-inch display that shows the gauges which can also be turned into a full-screen navigation map.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nimage source: Volkswagen\n\n\nRerouting Your Driving Style with Volkswagen Jetta\n\n\nIf these features are not enough to lure you over to the VW\u2019s side, then here are some other reasons why you should totally get a Volkswagen Jetta, or better yet, a used Volkswagen Jetta.\n\n\n\n\n \nIt\u2019s a Volkswagen\n\n\n\n\nJust mentioning the brand name itself is enough to \u201cwow\u201d everyone as they are known throughout the world for their great quality, style and the great German engineering innovations. The VW Jetta is jam packed with these qualities that you will find yourself taking the longer route just to do about anything. Also, just dropping a \u201cI drive a Volkswagen\u201d into a conversation lets those around you know that you are a person of discerning taste.\n\n\n\n\n \nThe Car is All About YOU\n\n\n\n\nSit inside the car and you will realize that there is no doubt that the car is all about you, the driver. The center of the dash is clearly angled towards the driver\u2019s seat and there is definitely plenty of attention given to personalization for the driver like the 6 ways you can adjust your seat to the colour of the interior ambient lighting that can be adjusted to suit your current mood.\n\n\n\n\n \nA Car of Great Descent\n\n\n\n\nThe VW Jetta is manufactured by the same company that makes Porsche, Audi, Lamborghini, and Bentley. Doesn\u2019t that just scream innovative technology, luxury, and style? When you buy a Jetta, you get the benefit of a car that shares the same innovation with these other brands. Volkswagen was also awarded the \u201cWorld Car of the Year\u201d more times than any other automobile manufacturers and they didn\u2019t do it just by being the second best.\n\n\n\n\n \nA Sound System that \u201cBeats\u201d All Other\n\n\n\n\n\n\nimage source: Volkswagen\n\n\nVolkswagen Jetta is manufactured to be equipped with the all new Beats premium sound system as they ushered in a new partnership with Beats by Dre. The upscaled audio system distributes 400 watts across 7 speakers, including a subwoofer that is located in the spare wheel well, ensuring an incredibly clear sound with extra bass. Beats claimed that they tuned the system to create a sound that is similar to that which is heard in the studio. With this system, you would definitely not want to go back to the 4-speaker system.\n\n\n\n\n \nOut of this World Technology\n\n\n\n\nThe Volkswagen Jetta has an amazing range of technological features that helps and informs you in case of any emergency. Should you be in an unfortunate situation like a car crash, the Jetta will automatically unlock the car doors, turn on the hazard warning lights and send a message to summon assistance. If the car gets stolen, the Jetta will allow you and the law enforcement (with your permission) to track it. If your car is being used by your kids, you can check where they currently are and what speed they are going at all while they are driving. All this done via a smartphone.\n\n\n\n\n \nA More Refined Styling\n\n\n\n\nCompared to the previous generations, the 2020 Volkswagen Jetta is definitely sportier and sleeker. It has an extra degree of refinement. New front-end styling gives the Jetta a smoother profile while the LED head and tail lights gives the car a more standard look. The R-Line trim comes with a racier look, outfitted with a large set of 17-inch alloy wheels and a sportier grille. Some of the colours that you would be able to find a Volkswagen Jetta in include Habanero Orange Metallic, Platinum Gray Metallic and Tornado Red.\n\n\nIf the above information has definitely rerouted you to the VW side, then you should definitely check out Carsome\u2019s list of used Volkswagen Jetta \nhere\n. Not only are they at a slashed price (compared to buying a brand new one), each used Jetta goes through a thorough check-up (175 inspection points to be exact) before they are sold out. So, you are definitely getting your money\u2019s worth at Carsome when you purchase a used Volkswagen Jetta. Not only is it a solid compact car with modern technological features, this car is easy to drive, it\u2019s efficient and is one of the most comfortable cars Volkswagen has ever manufactured.\u00a0\n\n", "Haziq Asyraf\nA self-proclaimed foodie and gamer whose passion for food and games has recently extended to cars.", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

Reason being is how it ticks all the right boxes when it comes to comfort, refinement, driving and how it is priced in comparison to the other continental marques. How does it fare? Read on to find out.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAs the eyes can see, the exterior design is the first thing that draws you in. Volkswagen themselves call the new Passat design as \u201ca combination of stylish clarity with a high degree of power.\u201d They continue on to say that it\u2019s a design that isn\u2019t simply fashionable, but contemporary; not whimsical but expressive, and a design where every line has a purpose. Thanks to the brand\u2019s latest modular transverse matrix (MQB) platform, the proportions include a lower body, longer wheelbase and larger wheels while maintaining that Passat signature.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat you\u2019ll instantly notice is the Passat\u2019s new rounder edges compared to its predecessor. The front bold grille is now wider and sweeps into the headlamps, providing a more executive front. Its business side and rear profile when in motion showcases the Passat at its best \u2013 with the signature daytime running lights and LED\u2019s at the back. You\u2019ll notice a lot more inspiration from the brand\u2019s subsidiary Audi on the new look.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \nWe recommend getting the App Connect for the Comfortline that adds Mirrorlink apps, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to the unit. At time of publication, users can optionally upgrade their Passat\u2019s with App Connect for a limited time for RM 699 or RM 400 off the regular retail price.\n\n\nWhile the interior might feel eerily like the last one, you aren\u2019t wrong. The design has the Volkswagen essence as with the central head unit, air conditioning controls, gear shifter and analog meter combinations. What we liked with the new dashboard is the uninterrupted horizontal vent that elevates the overall cabin appeal. With the Comfortline as tested, the trim features the brand\u2019s named Silver Diamond inserts across the dash and door panels. But should you opt for the Highline, the interior will be decked with the Brilliant Pine Wood inserts and fully digital 12-inch Active Info Display for the driver.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n\n\nPower for the 1.8-litre turbocharged petrol engine on the Trendline and the Comfortline as tested is specified at 178hp with 250Nm of torque at a low 1,250 to 5,000 rpm. All this is mated to the 7-speed dual clutch automatic. What you\u2019re probably thinking is whether the 1.8-litre unit is capable enough? Here\u2019s what happened. When comparing the Passat against a more powerful D-segment sedan with a larger 2.0-litre turbocharged engine and over 60 more horsepower, the differences between each century sprint times, is a mere half-a-second more for the competitor. Here numbers don\u2019t mean anything. It is the application that matters.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe driving characteristics is not as sharp as the Highline\u2019s 2.0-litre unit with the Golf GTI engine and Dynamic Chassis Control, with the immediacy of turn in\u2019s and direction change but is still an admirable performer. The sense of confidence that the Passat provides on the road, is one that you can push around hard when needed and remain calm and composed for most of the everyday commute to work. Body roll doesn\u2019t lean in too much but is noticeably present while dampers will soak up the unevenness on our cratered Malaysian motorways.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \nPark Assist is available on the Comfortline and Highline variants that enables semi-automatic parking.\n\n\nStandard Equipment for the Comfortline includes Cruise Control, the Composition Media 6.5-inch touchscreen display with USB, SD Card, Bluetooth and AUX connectivity, Driver Profile Selection, Paddle Shifters and Park Assist to help you with that parking woes. When it comes to keeping safe, six airbags ESC, ABS, Brake Assist, Intelligent Crash Response System, Isofix and more keeps safety passively in check.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTruth be told, we really like the new Passat. The Trendline is a great introduction to the executive sedan, with the Comfortline providing that additional creature comforts you\u2019d really require from a vehicle of this class. But honestly, if the budget is not a concern, we\u2019d recommend the Highline for its driving dynamics and Active Info Driver Display.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re in the market for one, the recent introduction of the \nPassat Plus for the Trendline and Comfortline\n provides customers with additional upgrades worth RM8,000 and RM12,000 respectively on top of the standard offerings. What\u2019s even better is that with every registration from now until 31\nst\n August 2017, VW will knock off RM15,000 on every Trendline, Comfortline and Plus variant. That places the \nTrendline at RM144,990\n and the \nComfortline Plus at just RM169,980!\n What\u2019s more to ask for?\n\n\nIf you\u2019re free on the 11th to 13th August 2017 weekend, just head on to the Volkswagen Fest 2017 to celebrate everything Volkswagen!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nLooking to sell your previous generation VW Passat?

It is hard to imagine that since its debut in 1974, over 35 million units have been sold globally. This makes the Golf the most successful European car for more than four decades.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAs the Golf enters a new era, the latest model is digitalised, connected and intelligent; on top of having a hybrid and safety offensive unlike before. The new Golf will be the first Volkswagen to launch onto the market with five hybrid versions and will also be the first VW with Car2X communication fitted as standard.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n360-degree look\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nHybrid Drivetrains\n\n\n\n\nThis new debut will see a belt starter generator, 48V lithium-ion battery and the latest generation of efficient TSI engines form a new mild hybrid drive in the eTSI. The benefits here is that consumption has been reduced by up to 10 per cent. VW will offer the Golf in three eTSI output stages, a 110 PS, 130 PS and 150 PS.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTwo plug-in hybrid variants will also join the mild hybrids, with a new efficiency version generation 204 PS while the sporty GTE delivers 245 PS. Both Golf\u2019s with plug-in hybrid drives will launch with a new 13 kWh lithium-ion battery on board that enables larger electrically powered ranges of approximately 60 km, turning the Golf into a zero-emissions vehicle temporarily.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nEfficient Petrol and Diesels\n\n\n\n\nThe full range includes a petrol (TSI), diesel (TDI) and natural gas drive (TGI). For the TSI, variants of the smaller 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo petrol engines with 90 PS and 110 PS will lead the entry range, followed by a bigger 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo with 130 PS and 150 PS. The new TSI\u2019s have low consumption values and emissions thanks to elements including the innovative TSI Miller combustion process.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe diesels on the other hand will feature a new standard 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbos with 115 PS and 150 PS. Most importantly, the TDI powertrains uses twin-dosing technology (two SCR catalytic converters) to significantly reduce nitrogen oxide emission (NOx) by up to 80 per cent; additionally, TDI consumption is lowered by up to 17 per cent compared to its predecessor.\n\n\nCompleting the range is the natural gas driven 1.5-litre TGI engine with 130 PS.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDigital Controls\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe minimalist design has made almost everything digital. From the 10.25-inch digital driver\u2019s display and instrument cluster available in either 8.25-inch or 10-inch sizes, controls for the temperature, connectivity and radio are all in the infotainment unit.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDepending on drive positions, the controls to the vehicle\u2019s lighting has been replaced with buttons opposed to the wheel in the predecessors. The Automatic transmission units now have a much smaller gear knob as opposed to a lever, akin to that on the latest Porsche 911.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAlways Connected and Car2X\n\n\n\n\nThanks to an online connectivity unit, systems are linked to each other and features an integrated eSIM that links to \u201cWe Connect\u201d and \u201cWe Connect Plus\u201d online functions and services. If you are wondering what Car2X is, it is a system where signals from the traffic infrastructure and information from other vehicles up to 800 metres away are notified to the driver via a display. On the road, the Golf will share these warnings with other Car2X models, connecting to the environment, and sharing intelligence for the next phase in traffic safety, and is a first for the model.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIt doesn\u2019t stop there. Semi-autonomous driving technology called \u2018Travel Assist\u2019 takes over steering, acceleration and braking at speeds of up to 210 km/h. The driver will still be required to place their hands on the wheel, but we are certain the future is near.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nMore information about the latest Golf will be released when it is set for launch next year.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWatch the World Premiere here\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhSqYiG05zM\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nClick here\n to read more about VW\u2019s Golf GTI and watch the 40\nth\n anniversary tribute we did to celebrate the hatchback!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nTrade-in your car for a new hatchback!

With the 30 millionth Passat on track to leave the assembly line this spring, the updated eighth generation Volkswagen Passat will see major technical improvements in the brand\u2019s line of innovations. The highlight of the assistance systems now comes under an umbrella brand called IQ.Drive. The new assistance systems include Travel Assist, Emergency Steering Assist and ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) with Predictive cruise control.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nTravel Assist\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis feature is a world premiere in the Passat and follows similarly with Traffic Jam Assist. Here the ACC and Lane Assist work together to automate the vehicle forwards and to the sides. However, unlike the predecessor system that was available up to a maximum of 60 km/h, Travel Assist will have partially automated driving up to 210 km/h.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe system can be activated through the steering wheel in a matter of seconds and works on Level 2 of the spectrum of automation between 0 and 5. However for safety reasons, the capacitive steering wheel will still require a touch from the driver to recognise that he or she is still controlling the vehicle by means of \u2018hands-off detection\u2019. Should there be an absence of touch for more than 10 seconds, a series of visual, acoustic and braking jolt warning is applied before Emergency Assist is activated and the vehicle is brought to a stop.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nACC with predictive cruise control\n\n\n\n\nHow predictive cruise control extends from the Adaptive Cruise Control system is by combining the ACC radar system with the navigation system and Dynamic Road Sign Display to react to variable parameters such as speed limits. The integrated sensors calculates vehicle position on the route and GPS data and reduces the vehicle speed before reaching bends, roundabouts, junctions, speed limits and towns. Used together with the new generation front camera, the speed limit also comes in to control the vehicle speed across road sections.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nEmergency Steering Assist\n\n\n\n\nThis new assist system will be available for the first time ever in a VW. Should the radar sensor at the front recognise a collision, such as being behind a vehicle that suddenly brakes ahead, the evasion by the driver will be more agile and controlled due to targeted braking intervention from the assistance system. The vehicle is also stabilised when quickly pulling back into lane and potential turning in is prevented within the system limits.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBut the list of features does not stop here. The brand has also included IQ.Light LED Matrix headlights as an option, and are loaded with 32 individually controllable LEDs on a printed circuit. This is further joined by the turn signal, daytime running light and side lights which are also LED units.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe rear units have six element angles which are better known as wings. At night when the units are illuminated, the units switchover to an opposing set of units \u2013 creating a recognisable forwards and back effect when braking.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThird-generation Modular Infotainment Matrix\n\n\n\n\nAt the top of the MIB3 range, which is the Discover Pro 9.2-inch unit with maximum navigation, the system will now come included with an online connectivity unit with an integrated SIM card. The advantages include access to online services in the We Connect as well as streaming services for music without a paired smartphone. Because of the connectivity, natural voice control is available with a call to \u201cHello Volkswagen\u201d through the system, and when paired to a smartphone, text messages can be dictated and received messages read out.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nExcited about the new Passat? It will come later this year in Europe and hopefully reach our shores soon.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nClick here\n to check out Porsche\u2019s latest 718 Cayman SportDesign series!\n\n\nOr bask in the magnificence of \nBugatti\u2019s Chiron Sport\n!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nYour first step to selling your car quick is with Carsome!

Tidak seperti model SUV Volvo lain, C40 Recharge dibina berdasarkan platform CMA, tampil dengan reka bentuk yang lebih rendah, moden. Meskipun berada dalam platform CMA yang sama dengan model \nXC40 Recharge\n sebelum ini, \ncrossover coupe\n baharu ini hanya tersedia sebagai kereta elektrik penuh sekali gus menjadikan ia model kereta elektik penuh Volvo yang pertama dalam sejarah.\n\n\n\n\nReka Bentuk C40 Recharge\n\n\nBahagian belakang C40 Recharge menampilkan reka bentuk belakang yang menyerlah dengan roof line yang lebih rendah. Manakala, reka bentuk hadapan pula menampilkan wajah baharu Volvo elektrik dengan lampu hadapan dengan teknologi piksel yang canggih. C40 juga merupakan model pertama yang menggunakan wajah baharu Volvo yang merupakan rekaan eksklusif untuk pengeluar kereta elektrik.\n\n\nBerdasarkan profilnya, C40 mempunyai banyak persamaan dengan XC40 \u2013 bahagian cermin sisi, \nmoulding\n sisi dan bahagian belakang kereta yang hampir sama. Selain itu, C40 Recharge juga turut dilengkapi dengan \nspoiler\n \njet-style\n, sayap integrasi pada pintu belakang dan lampu belakang LED penuh.\n\n\n\n\nBahagian Dalaman C40 Recharge\n\n\nBahagian dalaman C40 Recharge pula mengoptimumkan pengalaman pemanduan dan keselesaan pengguna. Ia menampilkan \nhigh seating position\n yang menjadi pilihan kebanyakan pengguna Volvo. C40 juga turut tersedia dalam pelbagai pilihan warna dan \ninterior\n khusus untuk model ini. Selain itu, C40 juga merupakan model Volvo pertama yang tidak menggunakan sebarang material kulit dalam rekaannya. Sistem infotainmen kereta elektrik ini juga dilengkapi dengan unit kepala berasaskan Android yang sama seperti XC40 Recharge.\n\n\nC40 Recharge hadir dengan pilihan infotainmen terbaik dalam pasaran, dikembangkan bersama Google berdasarkan sistem operasi Android. Ia sekali gus memberikan pengguna akses penuh terhadap aplikasi dan perkhidmatan Google seperti \nGoogle Maps, Google Assistant\n dan \nGoogle Play Store\n. Malah, setiap pembelian C40 Recharge turut termasuk akses data tanpa had yang membolehkan kemas kini perisian dilakukan secara mudah.\n\n\n\n\nKuasa Enjin C40 Recharge\n\n\nModel ini dilengkapi dengan \npowertrain\n elektrik yang sama dengan XC40 Recharge. Ia terdiri daripada motor elektrik berkembar \u2013 satu motor di bahagian gandar hadapan dan satu motor di bahagian gandar belakang. Selain itu, ia turut dikuasakan oleh bateri yang sama dengan XC40 Recharge iaitu bateri \nlithium-ion\n 78kWh. Pengecasan boleh dilakukan menggunakan sambungan Jenis 2 yang memakan masa kira-kira 7.5 jam jika dipasang pada outlet tiga fasa 11 kW. Pengecasan pantas pula boleh dilakukan menggunakan outlet DC 150 kW (menggunakan sambungan CCS) yang hanya memakan masa kira-kira 40 minit untuk pengecasan sehingga 80 peratus.\n\n\nNamun begitu, masa pengecasan ini adalah bergantung pada suhu luar, suhu semasa bateri, peralatan pengecasan, keadaan bateri, kereta dan lain-lain.

Volvo Malaysia officially launched this new model on their \nofficial Facebook page\n at 11am today. The XC40 is a plug-in hybrid of the brand\u2019s compact SUV that is exclusively designed for the city and for the rest of the world.\n\n\n\n\nThis beautiful Scandinavian car was first introduced back in 2018 and is not to be confused with the fully-electric XC40 which is also called the \u201c\nXC40 Recharge\n\u201d. Volvo decided to include the word \u201cRecharge\u201d in all models that feature any sort of electrification. In the XC40 Recharge T5 configuration, it features an electric motor and a petrol engine that works harmoniously together to provide you the perfect balance between on-demand power for performance with low fuel consumption while cutting CO2 emissions.\n\n\nThe Volvo XC40 Recharge Engine\n\n\nThe Volvo XC40 Recharge T5 is powered by a 1.5 litre turbocharged 3-cylinder petrol engine with a maximum speed of 180 km/h (178hp) at 5,800 rpm and 265 Nm of torque from 1,500 to 3,000 rpm and can go from 0-100 km in just 7.3 seconds! It is also mated to a 7-speed wet Dual Clutch transmission and an electric motor.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe 10.7-kwh lithium-ion battery, placed between the engine and the 7DCT allows an electric driving range up to 44km when the battery is fully charged. This can be achieved by using the 3.7-kW onboard AC charger and a Type 2 connector cable. With a regular three-pin, 2.3-kW socket, it takes five hours to reach a full charge, while by using a more powerful 3.7-, seven-, or 22-kW charging station, that time is reduced to three hours. From the launch, we found out that, for every purchase of the XC40 Recharge T5 model, a XXX wallbox will be included in the purchase.\n\n\n\n\nDesign wise, this car includes the charging port on the left fender, while the Recharge script on the C-pillars is located at the rear. In Malaysia, we get the R-Design Package, that includes a gloss bloack grille with pin-like inserts, along with window and bumper trims finishing in black, creating a truly distinctive look. Other standard features include a sport chassis, full-LED headlamps with Active High Beam and Active Bending Lights; LED fog lamps and taillights; along with a set 19-inch five-double-spoke matte black diamond cut alloy wheels (235/50 profile tyres).\n\n\n\n\nStay Connected with Volvo\u2019s latest Plug-in Hybrid\n\n\nOn the inside, here are some of the unique features of this car \u2013\n\n\n\n\nSensus Connect with 9\u201d Portrait Integrated Colour Touchscreen\n\n\nHigh Performance Audio System 8 Speakers (250W Output)\n\n\nBluetooth\u00ae Hands-free System with Audio Streaming\n\n\n2 USB Port S S USB Type-C Port in Rear End Tunnel Console\n\n\nApple Carplay & Android Auto\n\n\nR-Design Seats in Leather / Nubuck Textile\n\n\nR-Design Cutting Edge Decor Inlay\n\n\nHigh-Level Interior Illumination Package\n\n\nRecharge Front Tread Plates\n\n\nMemory for Driver Seat including Exterior Mirrors\n\n\nKeyless Entry & Drive\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom a brand known for prioritising safety, on the Volvo XC40 Recharge T5, you can expect to find:\n\n\n\n\nCity Safety suite (collision avoidance & mitigation with intersection support; pedestrian, cyclist and large animal detection)\n\n\nFront and rear collision warning and mitigation support\n\n\nDriver Alert Control\n\n\nLane Keeping Aid\n\n\nRun-Off Road Mitigation with Road Edge Detection\n\n\nOncoming Lane Mitigation\n\n\nBlind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Steer Assist\n\n\nCross Traffic Alert (CTA) with Autobrake\n\n\n7 Airbags\n\n\nAdaptive Cruise Control\n\n\nPilot Assist\n\n\nPark Assist Front & Rear\n\n\n\n\nThis car is available in 5 colours \u2013 \nCrystal White Pearl, Bursting Blue Metallic, Black Stone, Coral Red Metallic and Glacier Silver Metallic.\n Prices start at RM 241,997 and you can expect on-the-road with insurance with a factory warranty that covers 5 years/unlimited mileage and 8 years/160,000km for the plug-in battery.\n\n\nLooking to get the Volvo XC40? \nSell your car\n for the best price, fast payment and no paperwork only at Carsome.\n\n\n\n", "Haziq Asyraf\nA self-proclaimed foodie and gamer whose passion for food and games has recently extended to cars.", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

It has been nine years since the introduction of the first, and since then became the bestselling premium mid-sized SUV in Europe with almost a million units sold worldwide \u2013 representing about a third of the brand\u2019s global sales. In Malaysia, both generations have been proudly assembled locally and today, Volvo Cars Malaysia offers the current XC60 in three variants, a T5 and two T8\u2019s in Inscription and Inscription Plus trim.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nGood Looks Outside\u2026\n\n\n\n\nThe new XC60 is built on the brand\u2019s scalable product architecture seen on the larger XC90 sibling as well as the S90 sedan and V90 estate. On this mid-sized SUV, Volvo has applied the same signature design and attention as its 90-series cars; interior included. Slightly distinguishable from the XC90, the front end does feature sharper bumper lines and with the head lamp Thor Hammer DRLs, connect the units with the centre grille.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAt the rear, the L-shaped tail lamps do strike similarities to the V90s, except the inner design is distinctly separate from the estate. Those with a keen eye to the previous generation will notice the rear-half side profile window kink that accentuates the shoulders.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\u2026 and in\n\n\n\n\nThe interior isn\u2019t a stranger to anyone who\u2019s seen the current generation vehicles. The similar minimal input of buttons on the centre console, clean lines, Sensus Connect and ease of use is dominant here. On this Inscription Plus CBU unit tested, the mesh metal inlay is a standard trim. Locally assembled units have the Driftwood d\u00e9cor inlay instead.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe illuminated Orrefors Crystal gear selector sets this variant apart from the T5 and the inclusion of the 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system with the yellow Nautilus Kevlar drive units puts the Plus right at the top.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRide and Power\n\n\n\n\nAs with hybrid powertrains, the combined output of this 2.0-litre turbo and supercharged T8 is at a whopping 407 hp and 640 Nm of torque (320 hp and 400 Nm from the engine, and another 87 hp and 240 Nm from the electric motor) for a menacingly fast 5-second car. While that doesn\u2019t seem like an impressive achievement, the XC60\u2019s kerb weight at 2,151 kg isn\u2019t the lightest.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nRide on the CBU is Air Suspension, which is different from the standard springs that is on the CKDs. As comfort goes, this is as good as it gets without filtering out the necessary on the road feel.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDriving Impressions\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n\n\nThose that drive this generations Volvo should know that the driver display and Sensus Connect are meant to separate delivery of information from the necessary now and the others later. The beauty and ease of user experience here is at its best thanks to the smartphone like navigation and clearly labelled items.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nManoeuvring this SUV around is the definition of what a Sports Utility Vehicle should be. Albeit the Sports, (not that we\u2019re saying it isn\u2019t sporty) the XC60 is able to get to your destination quick, and with the range of six drive modes, electric motor assist and light steering, this SUV has enough power to tame even the speed hungry. The eight-speed automatic does the changes smooth and manageable but we did feel the need to charge the vehicle. Not doing so forces the combustion engine to shut off at traffic stops, and even worse, when crawling in the everyday jams. Oh, and we also forgot that the head-up display does make driving that much focused.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nMusic To The Ears\n\n\n\n\nVolvo and Bowers & Wilkins worked together in the development of the audio system. For the XC60, the system features a 10 channel Class-D amp, 1,100W of power and 15-speakers set up. The three modes of Studio, Individual Stage and Concert Hall are part of the experience, but during our tests, we liked the complete surround, clarity and power that the Individual Stage option provided.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe sound produced by this set up is easily the best audio experience we\u2019ve ever had in a vehicle. With options to tune the treble, bass, subwoofer and equalizer, we realised that the sound production here is sharp and bright (in fact too bright at times) enough to individualise instruments, vocals, beats and rhythm, yet harmonises the overall sound into something truly remarkable.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nDetail here is the most obvious difference between other systems in a standard audio system. When listening to the radio, or our Spotify tracks, some tracks stood out so prominently that the experience could differentiate music that was recorded in a studio, versus one that was played live.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVolvo\n\n\nXC60 T8 Inscription Plus\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPower\n\n\n320 hp (combustion engine)\n\n87 hp (electric motor)\n\n407 hp (combined)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTorque\n\n\n400 Nm at 2,200 to 5,400 rpm (combustion engine)\n\n240 Nm (electric motor)\n\n640 Nm (combined)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEngine Capacity\n\n\n2.0-litre 4-cyl turbocharged and supercharged\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTransmission\n\n\n8-Speed Automatic\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAcceleration 0-100 km/h\n\n\n5.3-seconds\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice\n\n\nRM 324,664 (without GST)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nVerdict\n\n\n\n\nWe dare say that the sound system alone for the \nRM 324,664\n price (without GST) is the best PHEV vehicle and Volvo on sale now. That together with the good looks, Volvo\u2019s list of safety features, comfort, power and more, the XC60 ticks quite a number of boxes that not many other vehicles can.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nClick here\n to read why we think Volvo\u2019s V90 estate should be your everyday car.\n\n\nJapanese perhaps? \nRead on\n to find out why we really liked Mazda\u2019s CX-5 SUV!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nFill up the form below and sell your car the easy way!

Anda boleh ikuti nasihat yang dikeluarkan oleh laman web \nInfoSihat\n berikut sebagai panduan anda: \n\n\n1. Pemandu E\n-hailing\n\n\n\n\nPakai pelitup muka (\nface mask\n) untuk melindungi diri anda dan penumpang anda. Sekiranya boleh, kami cadangkan bahawa anda memandu dengan mod peredaran udara dan tingkap kereta diturunkan. Anda juga boleh mengambil langkah tambahan seperti kelengkapan seperti tisu kering atau tisu basah, cecair pensanitasi tangan (\nhand sanitizer\n) dan tong sampah tertutup untuk penumpang anda.\n\n\n2. Pengguna E\n-hailing\n\n\n\n\nAnda dinasihatkan untuk sentiasa memakai pelitup muka pada setiap masa sepanjang berada dalam pengangkutan awam. Sekiranya anda bergejala, anda dinasihatkan supaya duduk di rumah dan kurangkan aktiviti luar. Namun, jika anda perlu ke klinik, anda boleh meminta pemandu \ne-hailing\n anda untuk membuka mod peredaran udara dan menurunkan tingkap sepanjang perjalanan anda. Amalkan etika batuk dan bersin seperti yang disarankan oleh Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM):\n\n\n\n\nPakai pelitup muka (\nface mask\n)\n\n\nPalingkan muka daripada orang lain atau makanan\n\n\nJangan berkongsi sapu tangan atau tuala dengan orang lain\n\n\nTutup mulut dan hidung anda dengan tisu atau sapu tangan ketika batuk atau bersin\n\n\nBuangkan tisu yang telah digunakan ke dalam tong sampah tertutup\n\n\nElakkan menyentuh muka, hidung atau mulut\n\n\n\n\n3. Penghantar Makanan\n\n\n\n\nPenghantar makanan atau \u2018\nabang rider\n\u2018 juga merupakan antara mereka yang berisiko dijangkiti wabak Covid-19 ini. Tidak dinafikan bahawa, sepanjang Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan dan arahan duduk rumah oleh kerajaan, \u2018\nabang rider\n\u2018 merupakan \u2018\nfrontliner\n\u2018 yang setia menghantar makanan atau barangan keperluan rumah dalam memastikan kita tidak kelaparan di rumah. Berikut merupakan panduan yang boleh diikuti oleh\n \u2018abang rider\u2019\n semasa menghantar makanan:\n\n\n\n\nPengendali dan penghantar makanan perlu sentiasa menjaga kebersihan diri, kerap cuci tangan dengan sabun dan air bersih atau cecair pensanitasi tangan (\nhand sanitizer\n)\n\n\nPakai pelitup muka sepanjang masa\n\n\nElakkan bersentuhan dengan penerima makanan semasa serahan makanan (\ncontactless delivery\n)\n\n\nJaga jarak satu (1) meter antara satu sama lain semasa penghantaran makanan\n\n\n\n\nTip Pembasmian Kuman (Kereta Persendirian atau \ne-hailing\n)\n\n\nBiasanya, pembersihan asas dalam kereta hanya melibatkan vakum lantai dan tempat duduk. Namun begitu, memandangkan kita masih di dalam fasa memerangi wabak Covid-19, semua pemilik kenderaan disyorkan untuk melakukan pembasmian kuman secara berkala. Sebagai langkah pencegahan, anda boleh ikuti tip oleh\n Consumer Reports\n yang menyenaraikan langkah-langkah yang harus diambil untuk membasmi kuman di dalam kenderaan anda:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuka semua pintu untuk pengudaraan\n\n\nHidupkan kenderaan dan penyaman udara, kemudian tutupkan mod peredaran udara\n\n\nGunakan bahan pembersih yang mengandungi larutan alkohol sekurang-kurangnya 70% untuk membunuh virus. Anda juga boleh menggunakan pembasmi kuman klorin atau \nisopropyl alcohol\n untuk membersihkan bahagian dalam kabin kereta seperti bahagian stereng, tingkap, pemegang pintu, tuas gear, tempat duduk dan lain-lain. Basuh pelapik lantai kereta jika perlu.\n\n\n\n\nKesimpulannya, anda dinasihatkan untuk sentiasa mengamalkan kebersihan diri yang baik. Elakkan 3S: kawasan Sesak, tempat Sempit dan Sembang dekat! Amalkan penjarakan fizikal dan jangan lupa untuk memakai pelitup muka jika perlu keluar rumah, cuci tangan dengan sabun dan pastikan alat-alat elektronik anda dibasmi kuman dengan kerap.\n\n\nKekal selamat, kekal duduk di rumah! \nSelain itu, jika anda sedang merancang untuk menjual kereta anda, anda boleh pertimbangkan \nCARSOME \nuntuk menguruskannya bagi pihak anda. \nCARSOME \nmerupakan \nplatform jual beli kereta terpakai\n \nyang menawarkan perkhidmatan jual beli kereta yang profesional, mudah dan pantas!\u00a0\n\n", "Tags\nLearning Centre", "Written by Carsome Editorial", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

While they\u2019re usually workhorses used for work, there\u2019s also a growing number of people taking up off-road driving as a hobby. As a result, you can find off-road vehicles in all sizes, forms, and price ranges. A good all-terrain vehicle not only needs to be able to traverse rough terrain but also be hardy, safe, and equipped with features that make it easy to drive on the road. Whether you\u2019re looking for an \noff-road truck\n for work or for a car that can handle some weekend off-road driving, we have some great choices you can look at today.\n\n\nMost Popular Off-Road Vehicle \u2013 Toyota Hilux\n\n\n\n\nThe \nToyota Hilux\n is undoubtedly the most popular 4-wheel drive (4WD) \npickup truck\n in Malaysia. Besides being a great off-road car, it\u2019s reliable and easily hauls cargo wherever you need to. Toyota has updated the Hilux with modern, bold styling, as well as a host of new features.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat makes the Hilux one of the best cars for off-road driving is its choice of powerful engines: a 2.4 L turbodiesel engine that produces 150 PS of power and 400 Nm of torque, as well as a 2.8 L turbodiesel engine producing 204 PS of power and 500 Nm of torque. It also has a rear differential lock to maintain traction in challenging terrain, an auto limited-slip differential (LSD), and a heavy-duty suspension setup. You can take the Hilux on the toughest off-road trails and it\u2019ll run just fine even after several years of heavy use, a testament to the Hilux\u2019s durability.\n\n\nOther features include LED projector headlights, up to seven airbags, Downhill Assist Control (DAC), Active Traction Control (A-TRC), and even a digital video recorder on the higher variants. The Toyota Hilux is available in one single cab variant and four double cab variants. Prices for the Hilux range from RM92,880 up to RM145,880.\n\n\nThe Durable Workhorse \u2013 Isuzu D-Max\n\n\n\n\nIsuzu is a major producer of heavy-duty trucks, truck chassis, and diesel engines. With its expertise, it\u2019s able to produce the rugged and capable \npickup truck\n in the Isuzu D-Max. The D-Max is geared more towards users who need a reliable workhorse, and it delivers. It has graphite-coated pistons and a high-performance timing gear and chain design to ensure the engine performs and lasts under stress.\u00a0\n\n\nAs an off-road vehicle, it boasts an impressive climbing ability with a 23.9-degree departure angle, 30.5-degree approach angle, and a 49-degree side slope angle. A unique feature on the D-Max is Terrain Command which allows you to switch between 2-wheel drive (2WD), 4WD-low which provides you with all the torque you need at slow speeds, and 4WD-high for relatively high speed driving in decent off-road conditions.\n\n\nThe D-Max is available with two engines; a 1.9 L turbodiesel producing 150 PS of power and 350 Nm of torque, as well as a 3.0 L turbodiesel producing 190 PS of power and 450 Nm of torque. The 1.9 L variant is among the most economical in the segment, which allows the D-Max to be the first Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) certified pick-up truck in Malaysia. The price of an Isuzu D-Max ranges from RM88,599 to RM141,938 making it quite an affordable off-road car.\n\n\nLuxury in the City and Off-Road \u2013 Land Rover Defender\n\n\n\n\nThe Land Rover Defender is quite possibly the king of off-road sports utility vehicles (\nSUVs\n). It has a long heritage of conquering off-road trails and it comes with numerous sophisticated electronic features to help it. For starters, it has Land Rover\u2019s Terrain Response 2 system which adjusts the steering, throttle response, stability control, differential, and air suspensions to adapt to the terrain. It also has a permanent 4WD system and auto-lock center and rear differentials making it very capable at maneuvering over precarious terrain. Plus, the Defender has among the highest climbing capabilities in the off-road vehicle segment with a 38-degree approach angle and a 40-degree departure angle. These are thanks to its high ground clearance as well as short front and rear overhangs.\n\n\nOf course, being a Land Rover, it does come with a hefty price tag starting from RM798,800. That said, you\u2019ll be getting one of the best cars for off-road driving. Inside, it has a plush cabin decked out in premium materials, two or three-zone climate control, heated and cooled seats, as well as the latest safety features. If you\u2019re looking for a luxury off-road car that can truly take you anywhere, the Land Rover Defender is it.\n\n\nRead:\u00a0 \nThe Best Used SUVs in Malaysia\n\n\nAll-Rounder Off-Road SUV \u2013 Subaru Forester\n\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for a car that can handle some light to moderate off-road adventures and is comfortable for your family, the \nSubaru Forester\n is it. This \nSUV\n is equipped with the Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system which is designed to maintain optimal balance and traction in all road conditions and weather. It also has a high ground clearance of 220 mm as well as Subaru\u2019s suite of off-road driving technology. This includes Hill Descent Control (HDC), Auto Vehicle Hold (AVH), Active Torque Vectoring (ATV), Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) System, and X-MODE.\u00a0\n\n\nTwo stand-out features that make the Forester one of the best cars for off-road driving are X-MODE and VDC. X-MODE further enhances the AWD system to provide even more traction on slippery surfaces, while VDC helps to provide a more stable torque control. VDC does this by monitoring the wheel speed, steering, and braking, and then applying the appropriate brake pressure and controlling the engine torque.\u00a0\n\n\nThe Forester is powered by a 2.0 L flat-four engine which provides a low center of gravity. It produces 156 PS of power and 196 Nm of torque. Prices range from RM139,788 up to RM163,788. With its high ground clearance, off-road technology suite, and reasonable price tag, the forester is a winner if you\u2019re looking for a family SUV that can perform as an off-road car.\n\n\nWe hope this list can help you decide on the right off-road car for your needs. There are many good options that can take whatever you throw at them, whether it\u2019s off-roading, hauling goods, or just being a reliable family car.\n\n\n If you\u2019re looking for a \nused off-road car\n but not sure where to start, check out CARSOME.

Pengumuman ini dibuat semasa Pembentangan Belanjawan 2021 November tahun lalu bagi membantu pencarum meneruskan kelangsungan hidup. Kemudahan i-Sinar KWSP membolehkan semua pencarum yang layak untuk mengeluarkan simpana\nn daripada Akaun 1 KWSP \nsebanyak 10% dengan syarat mempunyai baki minimum sekurang-kurangnya RM150 selepas pengeluaran.\n\n\n\n\ni-Sinar, Pengeluaran Wang KWSP Akaun 1\n\n\nJika anda menghadapi masalah kewangan disebabkan oleh pandemik Covid-19, anda boleh mempertimbangkan untuk mengeluarkan wang caruman menerusi kemudahan i-Sinar. Pengeluaran caruman daripada Akaun 1 dijangka dapat memanfaatkan ahli dengan pendapatan terjejas ketika pelaksanaan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP). Pengeluaran Akaun 1 ini juga kini diperluas kepada semua 14 juta ahli KWSP yang berdaftar. Ahli KWSP bakal menikmati pengeluaran i-Sinar tanpa syarat dan permohonan akan diluluskan secara automatik tidak lama lagi.\n\n\nMeskipun inisiatif ini memberi manfaat terutamanya kepada rakyat Malaysia yang hilang sumber pendapatan, mengganggur atau mengalami pemotongan gaji \u2013 tanpa garis panduan, penilaian risiko dan pengurusan kewangan yang betul boleh memberi kesan negatif kepada ahli kelak.\n\n\nWang Tunai Segera vs Simpanan Masa Depan\n\n\nKedua-dua pilihan ini bukanlah pilihan dan keputusan yang mudah untuk dilakukan. Ini kerana kedua-duanya mempunyai kelebihan dan kekurangan yang tersendiri. Sama seperti dalam situasi anda hanya mempunyai baki wang sebanyak RM20 pada hujung bulan sebelum gaji. Anda mempunyai pilihan sama ada ingin menggunakannya untuk mengisi minyak kereta untuk ke tempat kerja atau makan tengah hari bagi mengisi perut. Jika digunakan untuk makan, besar kemungkinan kereta kehabisan minyak; jika digunakan untuk mengisi minyak kereta, perut pula yang lapar.\n\n\nRamai rakyat Malaysia yang terkesan dengan ketidakstabilan ekonomi negara yang berpunca daripada pandemik Covid-19 ini. Jika anda terbeban dengan hutang dan memerlukan wang tunai segera, pengeluaran wang caruman ini mungkin penyelesaian sementara untuk anda. Kemudahan i-Sinar dapat membantu meringankan beban perbelanjaan terutamanya bagi anda yang mengalami masalah aliran tunai atau wang simpanan yang tidak mencukupi. Menurut Bank Dunia, Malaysia merekodkan kadar simpanan isi rumah terendah di dunia.\n\n\ni-Sinar KWSP untuk Bantu Langsaikan Hutang?\n\n\nJika anda mempunyai beberapa komitmen atau pinjaman yang tertunggak, anda mungkin boleh mempertimbangkan pengeluaran wang caruman ini untuk melangsaikannya. Sebagai contoh, jika anda memiliki Perodua Myvi 1.3L G automatik dengan bayaran ansuran sebanyak RM489* sebulan, anda boleh menggunakan wang ini untuk menjelaskan hutang tertunggak. Dalam kes-kes tertentu, anda juga boleh menggunakan wang ini sebagai bayaran\n in advance\n untuk tempoh sekurang-kurangnya sehingga 10 bulan.\n\n\nRM10,000 / 10 Bulan (RM489) = RM9,780 \u2013 Lebihan RM220\n\n\n*pengiraan berdasarkan tempoh pinjaman 9 tahun, bayaran pendahuluan sebanyak 10% dan kadar faedah 3.5%\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, kerajaan juga telah menawarkan program bantuan khusus untuk peminjam daripada golongan B40, M40 dan syarikat industri kecil dan sederhana menerusi Belanjawan 2021.\n Lanjutan moratorium\n dan moratorium bersasar membolehkan peminjam untuk menangguhkan ansuran bulanan selama tiga bulan atau mengurangkan ansuran bulanan sebanyak 50% untuk tempoh masa enam bulan.\n\n\nWang tunai segera yang diperolehi ini boleh digunakan untuk melangsaikan baki hutang sedia ada atau hutang kereta tertunggak untuk tempoh sekurang-kurangnya enam hingga sepuluh bulan bergantung pada amaun pinjaman. Dengan cara ini, anda boleh mengurangkan beban komitmen sedia ada buat sementara waktu. Malah, anda juga boleh mengelakkan penurunan skor kredit disebabkan tunggakan bayaran balik pinjaman. Apa yang bakal berlaku sekiranya anda mempunyai tunggakan bayaran balik pinjaman?\n\n\nRisiko Kehilangan Aset\n\n\nAset yang dibeli melalui pinjaman boleh ditarik balik oleh pihak bank jika anda lewat membayar balik pinjaman atau tidak membuat bayaran balik dalam tempoh masa tertentu. Anda boleh mempertimbangkan kemudahan i-Sinar untuk membayar balik tunggakan pinjaman untuk mengelakkan aset anda daripada ditarik balik. Jika anda lewat membayar balik pinjaman, anda akan dikenakan caj tambahan dan perlu menangggung kos tambahan jika kereta anda ditarik oleh pihak bank. Malah, anda juga terpaksa menunggu surat pengesahan dari bank sebelum anda boleh menuntut kembali kereta anda setelah anda melangsaikannya. Ia bukan sahaja meningkatkan kos anda, malah membazirkan masa anda.\n\n\nAkses Permohonan Pinjaman Akan Datang Lebih Sukar\n\n\nKegagalan anda membayar balik pinjaman anda boleh menyukarkan anda untuk memohon pinjaman kewangan lain pada masa akan datang.\u00a0Corak pembayaran anda akan direkodkan dalam skor kredit yang akan dijadikan panduan atau rujukan oleh pihak bank sebelum meluluskan permohonan pinjaman anda. Untuk mengelakkan ini daripada berlaku, anda boleh menggunakan kemudahan i-Sinar KWSP untuk menjelaskan hutang sedia ada. Ia secara tidak langsung dapat mengelakkan anda daripada mempunyai rekod kewangan yang buruk.\n\n\nImpak Skor Kredit Akibat Corak Pembayaran Tidak Baik\n\n\nBerikut merupakan impak terhadap skor kredit jika corak pembayaran balik pinjaman tidak baik:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPihak bank akan mengenakan kadar faedah yang lebih tinggi;\n\n\nPermohonan pinjaman akan datang berpotensi untuk ditolak.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMenunda pembayaran balik pinjaman kereta boleh menjejaskan skor kredit anda. Rekod tunggakan anda akan dicatatkan dalam laporan kredit sekali gus menjejaskan skor kredit anda. Skor kredit yang baik meningkatkan kebolehpercayaan pihak bank dalam meluluskan pinjaman dan permohonan kredit. Jika anda mempunyai rekod yang tidak baik sebelum ini, anda masih boleh meningkatkan skor kredit anda dari semasa ke semasa. Namun begitu, ia mengambil sedikit masa.\n\n\nLangkah Meningkatkan Skor Kredit\n\n\nBerikut merupakan langkah untuk meningkatkan skor kredit anda:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSemak Laporan MyCTOS Score anda yang terkini. Anda boleh melihat skor kredit serta laporan CCRIS untuk tempoh 12 bulan yang lalu;\n\n\nLangsaikan semua bayaran bulanan yang tertunggak. Bayar semua amaun yang tertunggak dan pastikan pembayaran secara konsisten untuk setiap bulan yang akan datang;\n\n\nMinta bantuan Agensi Kaunseling & Pengurusan Kredit (AKPK) jika anda menghadapi kesukaran dalam pengurusan kewangan. AKPK menyediakan perkhidmatan kauseling kewangan secara percuma.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSelain itu, bagi anda yang sedang mempertimbangkan untuk \nmenjual kereta lama\n anda bagi mendapatkan duit tambahan, anda bolehlah menggunakan kemudahan i-Sinar anda untuk memperbaiki sebarang kerosakan pada mana-mana komponen kereta. Kereta yang berada dalam keadaan baik terutamanya pada bahagian enjin, \ninterior\n dan rupa luaran kereta semasa penilaian boleh dijual ada harga yang lebih tinggi.\n\n\nArtikel Berkaitan:\n \nCara Mark Up Harga Kereta Terpakai\n\n\nKategori 1 dan Kategori 2 i-Sinar KWSP\n\n\nKemudahan i-Sinar KWSP terbahagi kepada dua kategori iaitu kategori 1 dan kategori 2. Bagi kategori 1, tiada dokumen sokongan diperlukan dan kelulusan akan dilakukan secara automatik berdasarkan data dalaman KWSP. Namun begitu, ahli yang layak perlu melakukan permohonan secara dalam talian melalui\n isinar.kwsp.gov.my\n mulai 21 Disember 2020.\n\n\nKredit: \nLaman Khas Belanjawan 2021\n\n\nBagi kategori 2 pula, KWSP memerlukan dokumen sokongan daripada ahli seperti slip gaji sebelum dan selepas pengurangan, notis pemberhentian atau pemotongan elaun/tuntutan kerja lebih masa, penyata bank atau surat pengesahan majikan. Bagi kategori ini, permohonan boleh dibuat secara dalam talian melalui \nisinar.kwsp.gov.my\n mulai 11 Januari 2021.\n\n\nKemas Kini: \nPengeluaran i-Sinar Tanpa Syarat, Permohonan Dibuka Selepas 8 Mac 2021\n\n\nKategori 1\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAhli yang bekerja di sektor formal, bekerja sendiri, bekerja dalam sektor ekonomi gig;\n\n\nAhli yang sudah lama tidak mencarum, hilang pekerjaan;\n\n\nSuri rumah, ahli yang diberi notis cuti tanpa gaji atau tidak mencarum KWSP sekurang-kurangnya selama 2 bulan berturut-turut semasa permohonan;\n\n\nAhli yang masih bekerja tetapi mengalami pengurangan gaji pokok sebanyak 30% dan ke atas selepas Mac 2020.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKategori 2\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAhli yang masih bekerja tetapi mengalami pengurangan pendapatan keseluruhan sebanyak 30 peratus dan ke atas (termasuk pengurangan gaji dan elaun atau pemotongan tuntutan kerja lebih masa) selepas Mac 2020 \u2013 pengurangan dikenal pasti melalui dokumen yang dikemukakan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKredit: \nAstro Awani\n\n\nAmaun Kelayakan i-Sinar KWSP\n\n\nKelayakan adalah tertakluk pada baki simpanan Akaun 1 ahli berdasarkan butiran terkini seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAhli yang mempunyai baki RM100,000 dan ke bawah dalam Akaun 1 boleh membuat pengeluaran sehingga jumlah maksimum RM10,000. Pembayaran dilakukan secara berperingkat dalam tempoh maksimum enam bulan. Bayaran pertama adalah sebanyak RM5,000, diikuti RM1,000 untuk 5 bulan berikutnya.\n\n\nAhli yang mempunyai baki lebih daripada RM100,000 dalam Akaun 1 boleh membuat pengeluaran maksimum 10% atau RM60,000 (mana-mana yang lebih rendah) daripada Akaun 1. Pembayaran dilakukan secara berperingkat dalam tempoh maksimum enam bulan dengan bayaran pertama sebanyak RM10,000.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJika anda mengambil keputusan untuk mengeluarkan wang caruman, anda mungkin akan tergoda dengan wang tambahan yang akan anda nikmati. Dari satu sudut, pengeluaran i-Sinar KWSP merupakan suatu alternatif dan pilihan yang lebih selamat berbanding saluran yang berisiko seperti ceti haram, pinjaman \nah long\n dan sebagainya. Manakala, dari perspektif lain, mengeluarkan wang simpanan yang akan digunakan semasa hari tua anda boleh memberi impak negatif kepada anda jika tidak diuruskan dengan betul.\n\n\nFahami Risiko, Kenal Pasti Kelebihan dan Kekurangan \u2013 Buat Keputusan Bijak\n\n\nCelik kewangan terutamanya dari aspek penyimpanan dan pengurusan wang dilihat semakin penting lebih-lebih lagi dalam situasi pandemik ini. Oleh itu, anda disarankan untuk menguruskan wang i-Sinar KWSP anda dengan telus, berhati-hati dan berjimat cermat. Buat pilihan yang tepat mengikut situasi dan kemampuan anda. Kita tidak mahu dana persaraan disalahgunakan sehingga mendedahkan anda kepada kemiskinan di hari tua. Tidak dinafikan bahawa pengeluaran wang segera ini boleh membantu merancakkan ekonomi negara, namun penyimpanan wang di KWSP jika tidak dikeluarkan boleh membantu anda pada hari tua.\n\n\nJika dibandingkan dengan pelaburan lain, penyimpanan wang di KWSP boleh dikatakan agak kompetitif dan berisiko rendah berbanding simpanan atau pelaburan di mana-mana portfolio pelaburan lain. Ini kerana, jangkaan keuntungan KWSP adalah sekitar 4.0 hingga 5.5 peratus setahun. Dengan kadar keuntungan 5 peratus setahun, wang i-Sinar KWSP jika tidak dikeluarkan boleh digandakan menjadi RM26,532 dalam tempoh 20 tahun. Ini bermakna, keuntungan yang dijangka akan diperoleh adalah sebanyak RM16,532.\n\n\nNota: Jika anda mempertimbangkan untuk \nmembeli kereta terpakai\n atau \nmenjual kereta lama anda\n, layari laman web Carsome untuk info lanjut.

This means that they are the first manufacturer ever to break the magic 482 km/h mark for a pre-production vehicle. This record comes two years after the 0-400-0 km/h distance-time Chiron record set by Juan Pablo Montoya and subsequently trumped by the Koenigsegg Agera RS.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nFor the world record, a team of engineers under the direction of Stefan Ellrott, Head of Development prepared a pre-production vehicle of a Chiron derivative. In addition to the aerodynamic improvements, the specialists added and placed a lot of importance to safety. The driver, Le Mans winner and Bugatti test driver Andy Wallace was held in place by six-point harness and protected by a safety cell. Historically, the speed record run isn\u2019t Wallace\u2019s first time as he also was behind the wheel of the McLaren F1\u2019s record run in 1998.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe Bugatti team was supported by Italian race specialists Dallara and tyre manufacturer Michelin. On the latter, Michelin\u2019s high-speed Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres on the Chiron were further reinforced at the belts to handle 5300 G and rotate up to 4,100 times per minute, while still being street legal. Rigorous quality controls such as X-rays on each tyre was done after production to optimise the smallest details.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n \n\n\nFor those unfamiliar with the record track, Ehra-Lessien in Germany is owned by the Volkswagen Group and features 96 km of private tarmac. The track includes various road surfaces, curves and is most famously known for having a 8.7 km long straight.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u201cA world record attempt at such an extreme speed of over 400 km/h always involves a certain risk. Everything has to be right \u2013 the car, the weather and track. Ehra-Lessien offers the greatest possible safety, which is why we opted for this track. It is the only place in the world where the safety standards for high-speed tests are this high.

Pemeriksaan paras minyak enjin, \ntukar minyak hitam\n atau \ntukar brek pad kereta\n secara berjadual dan sebagainya penting bagi memastikan prestasi kereta kekal berada pada tahap optimum dan dalam keadaan baik. Selain komponen-komponen ini, water pump kereta juga turut memainkan peranan penting dalam memastikan prestasi enjin kereta kekal berada dalam keadaan yang terbaik dan selamat.\n\n\n\n\nWater pump\n kereta atau pam air berfungsi memastikan air \ncoolant\n diagihkan secara konsisten melalui blok enjin, hos dan \nradiator kereta\n supaya suhu enjin kekal stabil dan selamat. Sekiranya \nwater pump\n rosak atau tidak berfungsi dengan baik, ia boleh menyebabkan\n \ntemperature\n kereta naik\n dan enjin menjadi terlalu panas, sekali gus meningkatkan risiko kerosakan gasket kereta dan kepala silinder. Lebih teruk lagi, ia berpotensi merosakkan keseluruhan sistem enjin sehingga memerlukan anda\n overhaul\n enjin kereta\n.\n\n\nWater Pump\n Kereta: 5 Tanda \nWater Pump\n Rosak yang Perlu Anda Tahu\n\n\nSecara amnya, anda disarankan untuk menyelenggara \nwater pump\n sama seperti anda menyelenggara komponen penting lain dalam kereta. Jika aspek penyelenggaraan diabaikan, ia boleh menyebabkan kerosakan enjin kereta yang serius dan menelan belanja yang lebih tinggi. Oleh sebab itu, penting untuk anda membiasakan diri dengan tanda\n water pump\n rosak bagi membolehkan anda mengenal pasti simptom kerosakan yang berlaku pada kereta anda dengan cepat. CARSOME menyenaraikan lima (5) tanda \nwater pump\n rosak untuk panduan anda seperti berikut:\n\n\n1. Air Radiator Bocor\n\n\nUmumnya, \nwater pump\n terdiri daripada beberapa komponen penting seperti gasket dan pengedap (\nseal\n) yang menyimpan \nair \ncoolant\n \natau cecair penyejuk. Ia memainkan peranan penting dalam memastikan aliran air\n coolant\n yang konsisten dari radiator ke enjin kereta. Meskipun begitu, \nwater pump\n kereta terdedah kepada risiko kering, retak, haus atau pecah. Apabila kerosakan sebegini berlaku, air \ncoolant\n berpotensi untuk bocor (biasanya bocor di bahagian hadapan, tengah enjin kereta).\n\n\nSekiranya anda mendapati anda kebocoran cecair (biasanya berwarna oren, hijau, merah jambu atau biru), hubungi mekanik anda dengan segera. Jika selamat, bawa kereta anda ke bengkel kereta terdekat untuk pemeriksaan lanjut. Apabila berlaku isu kebocoran air coolant, mekanik biasanya akan menggantikan gasket atau pengedap.\n\n\n2. \nWater Pump\n Berkarat, Ada Mendapan dan Kakisan\n\n\nKebocoran kecil pada \nwater pump\n jika dibiarkan lama-kelamaan akan menyebabkan mendapan dan kakisan terjadi di sekeliling pam air. Malah, kebocoran kecil ini juga boleh menyebabkan \nwater pump\n berkarat dan rosak. Periksa bonet depan kereta anda \u2013 jika ada karat pada permukaan, ia biasanya berpunca daripada dua (2) situasi berikut:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCampuran air \ncoolant\n yang tidak sesuai atau sudah tercemar; atau\n\n\nPenutup tekanan sudah rosak sehingga membolehkan udara berlebihan masuk ke dalam sistem.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPenggunaan air \ncoolant\n yang tidak sesuai juga boleh menyebabkan pengumpulan deposit dalam \nwater pump. \nSelain itu, ia juga boleh mengurangkan kecekapan aliran air \ncoolant\n dan melambatkan proses penyejukan enjin. Oleh sebab itu, anda disarankan untuk memeriksa ruang enjin secara berkala untuk pastikan tiada karat atau mendapan deposit muncul. Segera tukar \nwater pump\n kereta jika anda mengesan simptom-simptom sebegini.\n\n\n3. Tali Sawat \nWater Pump\n Longgar, Ada Bunyi Pelik\n\n\nSekiranya semasa memandu anda mendengar sebarang \nbunyi nyaring\n atau pelik daripada ruang enjin kereta anda, ia mungkin berpunca daripada \nwater pump\n kereta anda. Bunyi nyaring yang kedengaran dan semakin kuat semasa anda memecut mungkin berpunca daripada tali sawat aksesori yang longgar. Biasanya, masalah ini dikaitkan dengan takal atau \npulley\n yang sudah longgar, atau \nbearing\n yang mengoperasikan \nwater pump\n haus atau rosak.\n\n\n\n\nTali sawat aksesori digunakan untuk memicu kompresor \naircond kereta\n, power steering pump, water pump dan \nalternator kereta\n.\n\n\n\n\nJika anda mendengar sebarang bunyi pelik pada bahagian enjin, lakukan pemeriksaan dengan segera untuk mengenal pasti punca kerosakan. Ia boleh mengelakkan risiko kerosakan \nwater pump\n yang lebih serius dan kos penggantian yang lebih mahal.\n\n\n4. \nTemperature\n Kereta Naik, Enjin Kereta \nOverheat\n\n\nApabila \nwater pump\n kereta rosak, ia tidak dapat mengalirkan air \ncoolant\n dengan baik ke seluruh blok enjin dan menyebabkan \nenjin kereta \noverheat. \nKereta \noverheat\n bukan sahaja boleh membahayakan nyawa, ia juga boleh memberi impak yang serius terhadap prestasi enjin kereta anda. Jika \nwater pump\n tidak dibaiki atau ditukar dengan segera, ia boleh menyebabkan kerosakan komponen lain dalam enjin kepala silinder, gasket kepala atau piston.\n\n\nSekiranya \ntemperature\n kereta meningkat atau \nlampu amaran enjin\n \nmenyala dengan kerap, besar kemungkinan berlaku kerosakan \nwater pump\n kereta. Jangan bahayakan diri anda \u2013 segera berhentikan kereta di bahu jalan dan tunggu sehingga enjin kembali sejuk sebelum meneruskan perjalanan. Anda juga boleh hubungi \nperonda lebuh raya\n atau trak tunda untuk bawa kereta anda ke bengkel untuk pemeriksaan lanjut dengan segera.\n\n\n5. Kereta Berasap, Wap Keluar dari Radiator\n\n\nSelain itu, jika anda mendapati ada \nkepulan wap putih keluar dari bahagian enjin kereta\n anda, segera berhentikan kereta anda ke kawasan selamat dan hubungi mekanik secepat mungkin. Jika perlu, hubungi trak tunda untuk menghantar kereta anda ke bengkel terdekat. Memandu semasa enjin berasap atau semasa enjin terlalu panas bukanlah suatu idea yang baik. Ia berpotensi boleh merosakkan enjin dan komponen lain, dan boleh menelan belanja yang lebih mahal sekiranya melibatkan kerosakan komponen lain dalam enjin.\n\n\nEnjin kereta secara asasnya berupaya untuk mengekalkan suhu yang konsisten sekiranya \nwater pump\n berfungsi dan berada dalam keadaan baik. Sekiranya rosak, ia tidak lagi dapat mengalirkan air \ncoolant\n ke radiator dengan baik sekali gus menyebabkan enjin kereta menjadi terlalu panas.\n\n\nServis Kereta: 5 Punca \nWater Pump\n Kereta Rosak\n\n\nSeperti semua sedia maklum, \nwater pump\n atau pam air merupakan salah satu komponen penting dalam sistem penyejukan kenderaan anda. Ia mengeluarkan air \ncoolant\n daripada radiator, mengepamnya melalui enjin dan menarik haba panas daripada enjin untuk memastikan enjin kereta kekal sejuk dan stabil. Secara purata, jangka hayat\n water pump\n kereta adalah sekitar 100,000 hingga 150,000 kilometer, dan terdedah kepada risiko kerosakan tertentu selari dengan penggunaan. CARSOME menyenaraikan punca \nwater pump\n kereta rosak seperti berikut:\n\n\n\n\nPengedap lama atau telah usang terdedah kepada risiko kebocoran air \ncoolant\n;\n\n\nTali sawat kereta yang terlalu tegang memberikan tekanan tambahan pada \nshaft\n dan \nbearing\n, sekali gus meningkatkan risiko kerosakan seperti bocor dan patah;\n\n\nBearing\n atau impeler yang haus, rosak boleh menjejaskan fungsi \nwater pump\n dan menyebabkan enjin menjadi terlalu panas;\n\n\nBahan penyejuk yang tidak sesuai, pembentukan karat pada pam air boleh menyebabkannya rosak;\n\n\nPemasangan pengedap yang tidak sempurna, longgar boleh menjejaskan fungsi \nwater pump\n;\n\n\nTekanan sistem yang rendah (penutup radiator rosak, paras bendalir rendah, hos bocor, radiator tersumbat) boleh menyebabkan kegagalan pam air.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBerapa Kos Tukar \nWater Pump\n? Apa Yang Perlu Dilakukan Jika Ia Rosak?\n\n\nSekiranya kereta anda menunjukkan simptom-simptom yang dinyatakan di atas, segera bawa kereta anda ke bengkel terdekat untuk pemeriksaan lanjut. Langkah proaktif perlu diambil bagi mengelakkan kos pembaikan yang lebih tinggi atau komplikasi lain yang boleh menjejaskan enjin. Bagi penggantian \nwater pump\n kereta, kos penggantian adalah berbeza bergantung pada saiz, model dan usia kenderaan.\n\n\nKos tukar \nwater pump\n Myvi misalnya adalah pada harga sekitar RM65 hingga RM100 untuk jenis OEM. Manakala, harga \nwater pump\n ori Myvi pula dijual pada harga bermula RM150 dan ke atas termasuk upah buruh. Meskipun begitu, ada sesetengah bengkel yang menawarkan harga \nwater pump\n sahaja tidak termasuk upah pemasangan. Dapatkan maklumat lanjut daripada bengkel sebelum memulakan servis penukaran ini untuk mengelakkan anda daripada terasa tertipu.\n\n\nSelain itu, sekiranya anda ingin \nbeli kereta terpakai\n \nyang berbaloi, selamat dan berkualiti, layari laman web CARSOME untuk info lanjut. CARSOME merupakan \nplatform jual beli kereta terpakai online\n yang menawarkan pelbagai pilihan kereta terpakai yang berkualiti, terbaik dan selamat dengan tawaran harga yang berpatutan.\n\n", "Ahmad Azwadie Azman", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

The full-time all-wheel drive system from the Japanese company is highly praised due to its low placed boxer engine, and the symmetrical drivetrain that provides optimum weight distribution for a low centre of gravity that equates to better handling.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    While superior traction is the main focus for Subaru vehicles, not many know the capabilities or have experienced the system in proper application when it comes to going off the beaten path.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    At a recent off-road experiential drive conducted at the Most Fun Gym in Sungai Penchala, the guys at Subaru took the opportunity to showcase proper driving technique. With the Subaru XV and Forester as the SUVs of choice, this is what we learnt last weekend.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nGoing Off-Road\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    The key to driving off road is not about speed but control. When it comes to uphill terrain, the driver would need to carry enough momentum to bring the vehicle forward on an upwards incline. Thanks to the 220 mm ground clearance and the SAWD for both the XV and Forester, turning circles are also better to navigate tight corners.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nX-Mode\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    When it comes to X-Mode, drivers need to understand what happens when the system is active. In application, X-Mode reduces throttle input for increased control of engine power, which helps control wheelspin for better traction on slippery and rough terrain. With X-Mode switched on, engine throttle is controlled, transmission is low, all-wheel drive control is improved, Vehicle Dynamics Control works in tandem with the situation and finally Hill Descent Control helps the wheels from slipping.\n\n\n\n\n    (Vehicle Dynamics Control System is a host of safety systems that consists of Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control System, TCS with Limited Slip, Anti-lock Braking System, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Brake Assist.)\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    As seen in the video, with X-Mode switched on, Hill Descent Control kicks in when the system detects a downward incline and is able to brake the individual wheels automatically. The driver would then need to allow the system to work independently without driver input. Should the driver apply the brakes, the wheels could lock.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Should the driver want to move away from Hill Descent Control during active use, the throttle only needs to be applied to negate operation.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nHill Descent Control can be seen at the lower left corner.\n\n\n\n\n\n    The vehicle information on incline and how the X-Mode is working can be viewed from the Multifunction Display located on the top-centre of the dashboard. The Multifunction Display provides the status of steering angle, driving wheel status, activation of the ABS system and the operation of Vehicle Dynamics Control System. Here the driver will be able to keep note on whether the X-Mode is functioning \u2013 green and blue on normal conditions, and yellow when it is active.\n\n\n\n\n    What do you think?

This is seen often at the gas station when you refuel your car. You would then double check the label on the pump handle to ensure you\u2019re filling it right. For owners with diesel cars, the fuel cap or door would be distinctly labelled. What makes these engines different that different fuel types are required? Read on to find out.\n\n\n\n\nTo start things off, in terms of form, petrol is lighter and has a more evaporative consistency compared to diesel, which is thicker and denser. Although the fuels are different, the internal combustion engines that power petrol and diesel cars are similar in essence \u2013 which is a powerplant that converts chemical energy (ie petrol or diesel fuel) into mechanical energy.\n\n\n\n\nSimilarities include the fuel and air mixture that is compressed inside the engine\u2019s cylinders before it is combusted to turn the crankshaft. The crankshaft is connected to the vehicle\u2019s transmission, which is then responsible to power the wheels.\n\n\n\n\nDifferences between these two engines is in the ignition stage. For a petrol engine, the compressed mixture of petrol and air is ignited by the spark plug for combustion. However, in a diesel engine, the combustion is an effect from the heat of the compressed air, which then ignites the diesel fuel mixture. Hence why spark plugs are non-existent in diesel engines and only require glow plugs to heat the combustion chamber. In older generation diesel engines, the pre-heating was done when the key is turned, while modern vehicles will automatically start the heating upon unlocking the car.\n\n\nBoth petrol and diesel engines employ the four strokes of intake, compression, combustion and exhaust.\n\n\nCredit: \nGiphy\n\n\nDifferences in Power Output for Diesel and Petrol Engines\n\n\nPetrol engines have a lower compression ratio compared to diesel engines thanks to the aid of the spark plug and higher volatile fuel. On the opposite, diesel engines\u2019 higher compression ratio results in higher torque. (Torque is the twisting force that is produced by the engine\u2019s crankshaft.) This is one of the reasons why it is used in heavier vehicles. However, diesel engines in passenger cars have caught on and gained popularity due to the torque benefits and increased mileage.\n\n\nReliability\n\n\n\n\nDiesel engines tend to be more reliable and require little care, but is also more expensive to make. These days, cars and SUVs that run on diesel have performance levels similar to a petrol engine, but with added mileage. In short, a diesel engine will be more cost efficient in the long term, and it saves up on repair bills as well.\n\n\nEnvironmental Concerns\n\n\nCredit: \nReuters/ Fabian Bimmer\n\n\nWhile diesel cars in the past have been known to burn much dirtier than petrol cars, some modern diesel fuels and engines have improved significantly. However due to recent developments in regards to diesel car emissions, vehicles are still unable to meet stricter European emission standards. It is expected that European cities will follow Germany\u2019s ruling on banning older diesel vehicles; with Hamburg being the first to do so for Euro-5 standard cars and older.\n\n\n\n\nDo you often neglect your car?

Even this year, that same area was struck with another \nflash flood\n too. Given that monsoon season is soon upon us, it pays to be prepared by understanding certain terms and care techniques for your car.\u00a0\n\n\nMalaysian Automotive Association president \nDatuk Aishah Ahmad said \nthat during and after flash floods, you should never attempt to start your vehicle if it has been caught in floodwaters, for a good reason.\u00a0\n\n\nA common phrase people use when their car or engine gets submerged is \u201csubmerged or flooded engine\u201d. While this may be a mere sample of everyday speech, the proper term used is hydrolocked. Unless you\u2019re driving an amphibious vehicle like that submersible Lotus Esprit from that James Bond film, a hydrolocked car can cause serious damage to your engine if drivers do not know how to handle it.\n\n\nWhat is a \nHydrolocked\n Car?\n\n\nWater and oil do not go well together, neither is water in your engine. Hydrolock is a shorthand notation of two words \u2013 hydrostatic lock or hydraulic lock. It is a phenomenon where \nreciprocating parts of the engine\n e.g. pistons are obstructed from moving after a certain amount of liquid has filled in the room where the moving pistons are supposed to be. When water has flooded the air chambers of the engine, fuel combustion is unable to happen. Engines need air to function.\u00a0\n\n\nWhen the pistons do not have the space it requires to reciprocate, that\u2019s when the engine suffers from \nmechanical failure\n. To make this easier to understand, take a small plastic syringe and block the end nozzle with your finger. Then, push down the plunger with your thumb. It should be able to push the air out easily. A working engine must be able to perform this in order to keep running at high RPMs. Now fill that syringe with water and push the plunger down again. Notice it\u2019s harder to do so? Liquids are not easily compressible, unlike air.\n\n\nThis, however, does not mean that car engines should be running dry all the time. Our engine still requires a small amount of fluid lubrication in order for the parts to be running smoothly. A hydrolocked car can suffer from a catastrophic failure if it occurs during high revs. Notably, the connecting rod of the pistons, crankshaft, engine block, crankcase, and bearings, sometimes all at once. You\u2019re going to need a new car.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nDangers of Buying a Flood-Affected Car\n\n\nHow and Where Can You Get Yourself a Hydrolocked Car?\n\n\nHydrolocking, as mentioned above occurs during \nheavy floods\n or when a car finds itself driving too deep in watery areas. While our cars \ncan \nwithstand some depth, there are proper techniques to drive through flooded areas without having your engine hydrolocking. Other causes of hydrolocking can occur during heavy storms or driving too deep in mud puddles.\n\n\nIf you do have to drive through flooded areas, always keep your foot down on the gas and keep the vehicle in low gear. This ensures the exhaust keeps pushing out high-pressure air to prevent water from flooding the exhaust. That\u2019s why trucks with modifications for offroading have a snorkel/exhaust system mounted on the top of the vehicle.\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5BdCgImVnY\n\n\nRead More: \nHow to Drive Through Flooded Roads\n\n\nHow to Know If Your Engine is Hydrolocked?\n\n\nThe noise is going to sound expensive.

The answer is yes. Generally, hydrolocked engines can be saved, provided you do not start the engine after the flood waters subside. Attempting to start the car will further accelerate the damage to your engine! Even if you can get it started, the engine is going to \nsound rough\n due to one or more bent piston rods.

This is perfectly normal as the engine is expelling all the water trapped in it.

Sending your car in for a Puspakom B5 inspection might seem complicated and intimidating, but it\u2019s actually a rather straightforward process. If you\u2019re wondering what is Puspakom and how to get a B5 report, below is all the information you need.\n\n\nCredit: Puspakom\n\n\nWhat is the B5 report and why do you need one?\n\n\nPuspakom is a vehicle inspection company appointed by the Malaysian Government to undertake all mandatory inspections for commercial and private vehicles. It was incorporated in 1994 and is wholly owned by DRB-HICOM Berhad. Puspakom provides comprehensive vehicle inspection services to vehicle owners including scheduled inspections for commercial vehicles, and when owners modify or \nsell their vehicles\n.\n\n\nThe Road Transport Act 1987 requires all private vehicles to undergo \nTransfer of Ownership Inspection\n or B5 Inspection at Puspakom prior to ownership transfer. This inspection helps to protect new vehicle owners from buying or owning an unsafe and unlawful vehicle such as a cut-and-joined vehicle or a \u201c\nkereta potong\u201d\n. When you sell your car or decide to transfer its ownership to a family member, JPJ requires the Puspakom B5 report as proof that it is safe to drive.\n\n\nTypes of Inspections\n\n\nThere are several ways to get your car inspected by Puspakom. You can either visit their center by booking an inspection, via walk-in, or even have Puspakom come to you.\n\n\nPuspakom Inspection Online Booking\n\n\nYou can simply book an inspection appointment online at the MyPuspakom website or via the MyPuspakom smartphone app. On both platforms, you\u2019ll need to log in to your account or register for a new one if you haven\u2019t already. Then, you need to fill in your vehicle information and owner details, upload relevant documents, and select the branch that you want to visit and your time slot. You then finalize your Puspakom B5 inspection booking by paying online with your credit or debit card. The fee is RM 30 for the Ownership Transfer (B5) Inspection and an additional RM 3.50 for the online booking fee.\n\n\nWalk-in Inspection\n\n\nYou can also walk in to your nearest Puspakom inspection center to get your vehicle inspected. However, the wait for your turn might be long as Puspakom will prioritize vehicle owners with bookings first. With the number of vehicles being sent to Puspakom every day, it\u2019s best to book your inspection slot instead of walking in. A walk-in inspection costs RM30.\n\n\nMobile Inspection Unit at Your Doorstep\n\n\nPuspakom also provides Mobile Inspection Units for vehicle owners who want the convenience of having their vehicle inspected at the time and place of their choice. There are three types of Mobile Inspection Units: the Mobile Truck for heavy commercial vehicles, Light Mobile Truck for light commercial vehicles, and Mobile Van for private vehicles.\n\n\nIf you opt for an inspection at your home, it will set you back RM30 (inspection fee) plus an additional RM100 (service fee) per vehicle that you want to inspect. With all options, you will get the B5 report right after the inspection. Do note, however, this service is only available in Peninsular Malaysia.\n\n\nThe Puspakom Inspection Process\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Declaration for Release of Liability form with the Third Party Authorisation needs to be filled if you have appointed a representative to help you with the inspection. \nCredit: Puspakom\u00a0\n\n\nPuspakom B5 Inspection Forms and Documents Checklist\n\n\nThe B5 inspection is a straightforward process and the list of required documents is a short one:\n\n\n\n\nYour (vehicle owner\u2019s) identification card (IC) or the representative\u2019s IC.\n\n\nOriginal vehicle registration card or vehicle ownership certificate.\n\n\nCompleted and signed Declaration for Release of Liability form. If you get a representative to bring your vehicle in for inspection, you have to fill in the Third Party Authorization section of this form. Your representative will then have to hand in this completed form during the inspection visit.\n\n\nOf course, don\u2019t forget your vehicle for inspection. \n\n\n\n\nCredit: Puspakom\n\n\nWhat to Do at Your Puspakom B5 Inspection?\n\n\n\n\nArrive on time to avoid delays in your inspection.\n\n\nIf you made an online appointment through \nMyPuspakom\n, just proceed to the dedicated lane and scan the QR code at the scanner terminal.\n\n\nProceed to the registration counter where your documents will be verified.\n\n\nPuspakom\u2019s vehicle examiners will then take your car to the inspection lane where they will check your vehicle.\n\n\n\n\nRead More:\n \nAvoid Getting Ripped Off When Buying or Selling A Car\n\n\nThe Puspakom Inspection Standard\n\n\nPuspakom follows strict standards when checking your vehicle to ensure that it\u2019s safe and fit for the road. Here is everything covered during the inspection:\n\n\n\n\nIdentification Check\n \u2013 Verify the identity of the vehicle by checking registration, chassis, and engine numbers against the documentation.\n\n\nHeadlight Test\n \u2013 Measure the vehicle\u2019s light beam condition.\n\n\nAbove-Carriage Check\n \u2013 Examine the upper body of a vehicle for any defects according to the Road Transport Act 1987.\n\n\nTinted Glass Test\n \u2013 Measure visible light transmission (VLT) rating of windscreens and windows in accordance with regulatory requirements. As of publication, the VLT regulations from Road Transport Department Malaysia (JPJ) allow 70 percent for the front windscreen, 50 percent for the front side windows, and to 0 percent VLT on the rear windows and rear windscreen.\n\n\nSmoke Emission Test\n \u2013 Measure the gasses emitted from the vehicle\u2019s engine to ensure they are within the specified legal limits.\n\n\nSide-Slip Test\n \u2013 Test the alignment of the tires and road handling effectiveness during lateral movement.\n\n\nSuspension Test\n \u2013 Test the suspension system, including the performance of springs, shock absorbers, and joints on each axle.\n\n\nBrake Test\n \u2013 Check on the brake\u2019s efficiency and imbalance.\n\n\nSpeedometer\n \u2013 Check the accuracy of the speedometer against the speed of the wheels.\n\n\nUnder-Carriage Check\n \u2013 Visual examination of the under-carriage to screen for potential defects.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0Puspakom Vehicle Inspection Service Flow. \nCredit: Puspakom\n\n\nThe Puspakom B5 inspection process will take about an hour and once completed, you will be issued a computer-generated vehicle inspection report. The report will be valid for 60 days. Upon exceeding the validity period, the vehicle needs to be re-inspected for a new report.\n\n\nIf you are uncertain as to what type of inspection is required for your vehicle, you can contact Puspakom at their toll-free number \u2013 1800-88-6927.

Whether it\u2019s a brand new or a second-hand car, the number of options out there can be daunting and time-consuming to choose from. There is no harm in opting for a used car if you have budget constraints. However, selecting used cars is an extra hassle for maintenance and spare parts, especially for older models. If you\u2019re still stuck on making the decision, here are some of the best-used cars in Malaysia.\n\n\nKing of the Road \u2013 Myvi\n\n\nMyvi\u2019s are no-brainers when it comes to their ownership; they are reputable for their cost, performance, and reliability. Perodua found their \ngolden goose\n when they first introduced this four-door hatchback in 2005. The rebadged Daihatsu Boon has proven to be successful on Malaysian shores and proven to be the best-selling car up until \n2021\n!\n It\u2019s no surprise that the titular hatchback has still remained in high demand due to its reliability factor as one of the best second-hand cars for sale in Malaysia.\u00a0\n\n\nCurrently, the 2005 to 2015 Perodua Myvi can be had with a 1.3L or a larger 1.5L four-cylinder engine, mated to a five-speed manual if you like to row your gears or a bog-standard 4-speed automatic. Fuel efficiency in the Myvi has been reported at \n4.7L/100km as reported by Wapca\nr\n. Aftermarket-wise, you don\u2019t need to sweat it out as it\u2019s easily sourced locally or can be had as overnight parts from Japan, made by Daihatsu for the Boon model.\n\n\nShop Now: \nUsed Perodua Myvi for Sale\n\n\nRead More: \nBefore You Buy a Used Perodua Myvi, Check These 5 Things\n\n\nThe Second Runner-Up \u2013 Proton Iriz\n\n\nArguably Proton\u2019s answer to the Perodua Myvi, the Iriz also gets a decent amount of spotlight as our local heroes. This five-seater hatchback may have fallen short in comparison to the Perodua Myvi despite speculations that it could be the \nMvyi-killer\n.\n Years after release, the Iriz still somehow could not keep up with Perodua\u2019s golden goose in the B-segment market. Yet that still did not deter some people from owning them. Nonetheless, the Iriz has built itself as a popular platform \nfor rallying\n on the global stage by a UK Motorsports team.\n\n\nThe Iriz can be had in two engines \u2013 a 1.3L and a 1.6L four-cylinder engine. Transmission-wise, you can have this hatchback with a CVT or a 5-Speed Manual sending its power to the front wheels. For just under RM40k, the Iriz offers a much more comfortable and luxurious feel than the Myvi.\u00a0\n\n\nShop Now: \nUsed Proton Iriz For Sale\n\n\nRead More: \nHere\u2019s all you need to know about the latest 2019 Proton Iriz and Persona facelift\n\n\nPlain, but gets the Job Done \u2013 Perodua Bezza\n\n\nBased on the Axia platform, Perodua designed the Bezza under Daihatsu\u2019s consultation with fuel efficiency in mind. The Bezza is also Perodua\u2019s first model to have stop-start engine idling and regenerative braking. In addition, it was also Perodua\u2019s first in-house designed vehicle. Upon launch, the Bezza can be had in three models \u2013 Standard G, Premium X, and Advance. Reviews have been stellar on Bezza\u2019s performance, practicality, and cheaper price tag compared to its hatchback cousin, the Myvi.\n\n\nGiven the Bezza is designed to be cheap and affordable in mind, Perodua gave the Bezza a small 1.0L, three-cylinder engine and a 1.3L four-cylinder engine, mated with a five-speed manual or a bog-standard four-speed automatic transmission.\n\nShop Now: \nUsed Perodua Bezza for Sale\n\n\nRead More: \nHonda City 2020 vs Perodua Bezza 2020\n\n\nFor Performance Seekers \u2013 Honda City\n\n\nAs is in their slogan, Honda makes dream machines for all ranges. If the brand new Civic is out of reach, you can still settle down for a used Honda City. The fourth generation Honda City still bags a bargain among the used car market due to its \nsix-airbag safety system\n installed.\u00a0\n\n\nBesides that, the post-facelift models come with keyless entry, push-button start, reverse sensors, auto-retractable folding side mirrors with indicators, and a multi-info display. They still remained a favorite even years after Honda stopped selling them.\u00a0\n\n\nThe fourth generation Honda City has more trim levels available. It starts off with a 1.3L and a 1.5L four-cylinder i-DSI engine. The range-topping and most desirable model can be had with a 1.5L i-Vtec four-cylinder engine, which is highly sought after by car enthusiasts for modification.

Even in later generations, Toyota still carries on with its core philosophy of making cars reliable for the next 10 to 20 years as quoted by \nScotty Kilmer\n.\n The 2013 to 2015 used Toyota Vios still holds a great bargain for a premium compact sedan at a good price. Parts are easier to get, cheap maintenance and a reputable brand for reliability make it a car enthusiast\u2019s favorite.\u00a0\n\n\nThe 2015 model is powered by a 1.5L, four-cylinder VVT-i engine.

Preferably, the net salary that you bring home every month. This is to ensure you still have enough money for maintenance, parts if needed or just regular daily expenses to keep you going until the next paycheck arrives. \nWapcar reports that in the first half of 2022\n,\n 18 people go into bankruptcy daily with a majority spent on car purchases in mind. With that, we urge you to crunch out the numbers first before making any decisions.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nHow Much Should You Spend on Your Car Installment\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNeed vs Want\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere\u2019s no shame in denying all of us want to drive something nice one day. However, as we mentioned in the finances part earlier, do not go broke just to spend that money for showing off. Lay off that thought to buy that used BMW for a while and settle down for a Bezza for the time being. What\u2019s the point of spending half your salary on a used continental car when you have to devoid yourself of your basic needs for food, clothes, and rent/housing all just to sate your desires? Save up, get that salary increment in your job and come back for that car of your dreams once you are financially stable enough to do it.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParts and Reliability\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA saying in Germany goes \u2013 A cheap Mercedes is an expensive Mercedes. The temptation to snag a cheap continental car is alluring. But be warned, continental car parts have a higher price tag, and mechanical complexity that requires technical expertise to maintain in the long run.

He asked about the abbreviations for a few common car safety terms, namely ABS, TSC and ESC. They wanted to know what these magical letters meant, and why they are important in vehicles today. And while it seems like a simple explaination to car enthusiasts, we realised that these safety features are the basics for the everyday driver. To answer these questions, we came up with this article to best explain these safety systems and how it can potentially save you when you\u2019re driving.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nABS (Anti-lock Braking System)\n\n\nCredit: toyota.lk\n\n\nOften confused with the abdominal muscle or \u201cabs\u201d, ABS is certainly not related to the body part. Known as Anti-lock Braking System, ABS prevents the wheels on your vehicle to lock or suddenly stop moving when sudden or hard braking is applied. The system works by braking successively to provide better control to the driver in various situations and decrease stopping distances in an emergency.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nTCS (Traction Control System)\n\n\n\n\nWhile ABS is used to regulate braking and is focused on stopping your vehicle, the Traction Control System stops your wheels from slipping when you\u2019re accelerating. The system works remarkably well in low traction situations like rain and snow by providing just enough throttle application and intervening when there is too much power. The result of this allows the balance of throttle and traction while on various road surfaces.\n\n\nThe system is so good that it has been banned in Formula 1, where competitive racing now requires the skills of the driver to modulate the throttle and be quickest off the line.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nESC (Electronic Stability Control)\n\n\nCredit: mazda.com.hk\n\n\nAlso known as ESP (Electronic Stability Program), VSC (Vehicle Stability Control), VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) or DSC (Dynamic Stability Control), this safety system is touted as the best safety system when your vehicle goes sideways. How this works during emergency avoidance is through sensors in the vehicle that accounts for ABS, steering and throttle by assessing the potential skid, cutting power and applying the necessary brakes to counteract the slide. While in Singapore most vehicles sold today would have ESC as standard, the used car market might have a few vehicles without it. We at Carsome certainly recommend these technologies in your vehicle, as well as advocating safe and responsible driving always.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0Here\u2019s a video episode from Fifth Gear demonstrating the effects of vehicles with ESC and those without.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAlso \nclick here\n to check out our review of Hyundai\u2019s Ioniq Hybrid that is packed with safety features for a modest price!\n\n", "Carsome Author", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

The best way to have a full complete coverage would be to get a \nComprehensive car insurance coverage\n. Why? Because it is a plan that covers everything you\u2019d need, including your own vehicle!\n\n\n\n\nIt is recommended to switch to a \nComprehensive Coverage Policy\n if you happen to have one of the more basic ones instead. This is where an \nAgreed Value\n vs \nMarket Value\n of an insured sum comes into view when your vehicle is declared a total loss or has been stolen.\n\n\nWhat is the difference?\n\n\nMarket Value\n\n\nCredit: Perodua Malaysia\n\n\nMarket Value\n as it\u2019s name suggests is based on the calculated worth of the vehicle at the time. Assuming you have insured your 2015 Perodua Myvi at RM50,000 in January of that year, the value of the Myvi would have depreciated its value eight months later. Should you have to claim based on a total loss or theft of your car, the \nMarket Value\n pay-out will be certainly less in August of 2015.\n\n\nAgreed Value\n\n\n\n\nAn \nAgreed Value\n however, is an amount which has been agreed by the insurance provider based on your car\u2019s model and year. By insuring your vehicle with an \nAgreed Value\n, should you have to claim at an event of a total loss, the sum of pay-out will be based on your policy as the agreed value. By having an \nAgreed Value\n, there would be no risk of under-insuring or over-insuring the value of your vehicle. But as with this, insuring your car for more than what it\u2019s worth will cost slightly more in your premium payment.\n\n\nWhich is better? It depends.\n\n\n\n\nInsurance and financial providers recommend insuring your vehicle based on an \nAgreed Value\n as this provides the policyholder to claim according to an arrange value stipulated in the policy. \nMarket Value\n policies however could also cost you as it would depend on how much your vehicle is worth.

The process could take days to even weeks to complete and could cost several thousands of ringgit. However, do you know what a car engine overhaul is? Or what may cause a car to require it? If you have questions about overhauling an engine, worry not \u2013 here is all you need to know about it.\n\n\n\n\nTable of Contents\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat Is An Engine Overhaul\n\n\nWhen Should You Overhaul Your Car Engine\n\n\nIs It Worth Overhauling Your Car Engine?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is an Engine Overhaul?\n\n\nA car engine overhaul or engine rebuild is usually done when there are serious problems with a car and its engine. Occasionally, it is also performed on worn engines with higher mileage to restore them back to their factory condition. During an overhaul, your mechanic disassembles the engine and then evaluates the condition of the internal components to identify the source of the problems and fix them. Internal parts such as the piston rings, bearings, gaskets, and camshaft may be replaced during an overhaul, though it depends on their condition and what the source of the problem is.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nYour mechanic will also clean the surfaces of the engine and its parts to remove carbon build-ups that will decrease performance. Lastly, your mechanic will recondition the internal surfaces of the engine cylinders to ensure the piston rings form a proper seal with the cylinder walls. Some of the issues that may require an engine overhaul involve:\n\n\n\n\nA drop in engine performance;\n\n\nCracked, leaking, or broken engine components;\n\n\nA reduction in engine oil levels even when no leaks are detected;\n\n\nFrequent overheating of the engine.\n\n\n\n\nTop Overhaul\u00a0\n\n\nThere are two types of engine overhaul \u2013 a top overhaul and a full overhaul. A top engine overhaul is when the top half of the engine is opened without extracting the whole engine from the engine bay. This process is often done when the problem parts are easier to reach and replace. Common parts replaced during a top overhaul include the cylinder head and head gaskets, valves, valve seal, cylinder screws, and rocker\u2019s arm.\n\n\nFull Overhaul\n\n\nA full engine overhaul is when the whole engine is removed from the car and disassembled. In a full overhaul, the sources of the problems are often hard to reach, hence the need to remove the whole engine. This process requires more time and labor to complete, which is why it costs more than a top overhaul. Common parts replaced during a full overhaul include the crankshaft, piston rings and rods, engine block, bearings, timing belt/chain set, and other necessary parts.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat Is the Cost of a Top and Full Overhaul?\n\n\nThe cost of a car engine overhaul varies widely depending on the issue, the parts that need replacing, and the type of overhaul done. The cost of a top overhaul for \nProton\n and \nPerodua\n cars typically costs around RM800 to RM3,000. On the other hand, the cost of a full overhaul for the same models could start from RM4,000 and above. That said, a proper estimated cost can only be determined after a thorough check on the engine is done.\n\n\n\n\nWhen Should You Overhaul Your Car Engine?\n\n\nWhile some engine issues do not need an overhaul to be fixed, there are times when it\u2019s necessary. An engine overhaul is also more commonly needed on older cars, especially ones over 10 years old or when a car has racked up a lot of mileage. If you notice these problems with your car or if your \nwarning lights\n turn on for a prolonged period, it\u2019s best to get your car checked so you don\u2019t have bigger problems down the road.\n\n\nRead:\n \nWhat do Car Warning Lights and Indicators Mean (Part 2)\n\n\n1. White Exhaust Smoke\n\n\nWhite exhaust smoke means that the engine oil has entered the cylinder and is burned together with the air-fuel mixture during combustion. This could signify worn-out or broken piston rings. However, don\u2019t mistake this for the white smoke that comes out during the initial start-up early in the morning or after a rainy day. That is usually steam from water condensation that can collect in the exhaust.\n\n\n2. Excessive Engine Oil Consumption\n\n\nAnother sign that your car needs an overhaul is excessive \nengine oil\n consumption. If you constantly need to top up your engine oil or if your low oil pressure warning light comes on, it could mean you have a leak somewhere in the engine or have worn or damaged piston rings. Faulty piston rings can cause the engine oil to leak into the combustion chamber.\u00a0\n\n\n3. Frequent Engine Overheating\n\n\nFrequent overheating could mean that there\u2019s a leak in your radiator. However, it could also be caused by a faulty cylinder head gasket which allows the coolant to enter the combustion chamber. An overheating engine is a serious problem that can lead to other mechanical failures. If your engine temperature warning light comes on, make sure to get it checked at the nearest workshop.\n\n\n4. Black Exhaust Smoke\n\n\nThe consistent emission of black smoke is often a sign that your engine overhaul is due. Black smoke is caused by carbon build-up on the pistons and in the intake valves. During combustion, especially when you press the accelerator, this carbon will be spewed out of the exhaust as black smog. The carbon also causes your engine to choke, as combustion will not happen properly. This leads to reduced engine performance and fuel efficiency.\n\n\n5. Engine Misfiring and Reduced Engine Performance\n\n\nMisfiring in the engine occurs when the air-to-fuel ratio in the engine cylinder is not right or when the air-fuel mixture isn\u2019t ignited properly by the spark plugs. Misfiring could cause your \nengine to jerk\n at low revolutions (RPM) or when accelerating, and even cause a drop in engine performance. If the issue is caused by worn-out spark plugs, it\u2019s an easy fix to replace them. However, it can also be caused by worn or cracked pistons and piston rings which will require an engine overhaul.\n\n\n6. Strange Noises from the Engine\n\n\nKnocking sounds might indicate that there\u2019s too much clearance between the crankshaft and piston rods or that there\u2019s a valve train issue. Rattling sounds might be caused by broken piston rings or worn engine mounts. If your engine makes strange noises, it\u2019s best to get it checked by a professional. Don\u2019t wait till your \ncar breaks down\n as it might cost you a lot more at that point.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIs It Worth It Overhauling Your Car Engine?\n\n\nBefore deciding if it\u2019s worth it to overhaul your engine, make sure you get it checked by a trusted mechanic and discuss with them the best solution to your problem. Just make sure to understand the issue and be aware of the cost when you do decide to overhaul your engine. If you have an old car with over 300,000 kilometers of mileage, it might not make sense to overhaul the engine as other parts would also have significant wear and tear. It might even be a better idea to get a new car instead. However, if you want to keep the car, you can consider swapping in a new engine block or swapping in a \nnew engine\n altogether.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you think overhauling your car engine is not worth the trouble and would rather not get a brand-new car, why not consider getting a \nused car\n from CARSOME?

While it is mostly known as \u201c\nthe\n\u201d Mazda technology that aids in the driving experience of the brand\u2019s cars, there is little understanding on what it does, and why it is a highlight for Mazda. In this article, we will break down the points of GVC \u2013 from its benefits to misconceptions.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nHow did G-Vectoring Control come about?\n\n\n\n\nThe word \u2018\nJinba-Ittai\n\u2019 is a saying that is at the heart of every Mazda. First seen in the brochure for the first-generation Mazda MX-5, \u2018\nJinba-Ittai\n\u2019 basically translates to \u201cthe feeling of connectedness between a rider and his horse\u201d. When put in context of the brand \u2013 it basically translates to harmony between a car and its driver.\n\n\nMarrying the \u2018\nJinba-Ittai\n\u2019 concept plus the focus on being innovative and striving to be better, GVC was introduced to improve chassis performance by controlling the engine output; but developed based on Mazda\u2019s human-centred development philosophy.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhat is G-Vectoring Control?\n\n\n\n\nTo put it simply, G-Vectoring Control is an electronic system that ties the power steering and engine control computer together. When the steering wheel is turned, GVC reduces engine power slightly. The resulting effect pitches the front of the vehicle forward, putting more load on the tyres and allowing the car respond directly. All this translates to a more stable vehicle for both driver and passengers.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhat are the benefits of GVC?\n\n\n\n\nThere are several, but the most important is that GVC is highly versatile and can be deployed in any Skyactiv (Mazda\u2019s latest technologies that encompass the brand\u2019s engine, chassis, transmission and car body) model, irrespective of drive system or vehicle type. Additionally, since GVC is a software control system, there isn\u2019t any increase in weight. However, the main points are:\n\n\n\n\nIncrease in driver confidence due to reduction in steering corrections with GVC.\n\n\nPassengers feel more comfortable because GVC smoothens the G force transitions that suppresses the swaying of head and body.\n\n\nThe enhanced handling and stability on various road surfaces including rain and snow gives a greater sense of security to the driver. Less slip equals more traction and driving confidence.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhy is vehicle control important?\n\n\n\n\n\u201cIf you want to get a driver\u2019s license, you can go to a driving school and get basic driving lessons. But those lessons do not educate you on the importance of vehicle control and ways to improve control. For instance, driving instructors do not teach you on controlling a vehicle for better or more efficient driving. GVC ensures the vehicle controls its dynamics on an extremely minute level, not capable by drivers themselves, so that driving efficiency is significantly improved,\u201d said Daisuke Umetsu, vehicle development division, Mazda.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDoes this mean that GVC is a standalone technology to improve vehicle dynamics?\n\n\n\n\nNo, it isn\u2019t. Because GVC ties both steering input and engine to optimise load control, the technology could not have been achieved without the brand\u2019s Skyactiv engine. Both of Mazda\u2019s Skyactiv-D (diesel) and Skyactiv-G (petrol) engines are capable of extremely fast and precise control, which realises optimum torque control requested by the driver\u2019s steering input.\n\n\nIn simple terms, this means that the engineering that has gone into the suspension, body, seats and steering all come together with the system, which is needed to carry the load and reach the road surface.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe all-new Mazda 3 now comes with G-Vectoring Control Plus. What does the update do?\n\n\n\n\n\u201cOn top of shifting the weight to improve grip and make the car behave more naturally, G-Vectoring Control Plus also works when you\u2019re coming out of a corner. We apply a tiny amount of brake to the outside front tyre to help straighten the car as you exit a corner,\u201d explains Dave Coleman, vehicle development engineer at Mazda R&D.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWatch this video to have a better understanding about G-Vectoring Control\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWant to know more about the Mazda 6? \nClick here\n for our impressions of the latest Mazda 6 sedan.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car to Carsome and upgrade your ride to a Mazda!\n\n", "Carsome Author", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

After all, you could get tied up with a monthly loan of several thousand ringgit depending on the car you choose. But just like every other product, cars can break down even if they\u2019re new. And sometimes, the manufacturer\u2019s warranty can\u2019t help you fix it.\n\n\nThis is where a lemon law can help consumers like you. So what exactly is a lemon law? Let\u2019s find out.\n\n\n\n\nSo, What Is a Lemon Law?\n\n\nThe first lemon law was enacted in the USA in 1975 as the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. It was first enacted to protect consumers whose car warranties had loopholes that allowed manufacturers to worm their way out of honoring their customers\u2019 warranty claims.\n\n\nThe \u201clemon\u201d refers to a product that is defective, has bad performance, or low durability. A lemon law applies to any product that has a lifespan of more than six months and can include cars, electronics, and more.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nWhat to Do If Your Car Loan Gets Rejected\n\n\nBut What about the Malaysian Consumer Protection Act?\n\n\nMalaysia already has a Consumer Protection Act (CPA) which came into effect in 1999. This act aims to provide greater protection to consumers and allows us to go to the Consumer Redressal Tribunal for any dispute or claim of not more than RM50,000. Under the CPA, you as a consumer, have these rights.\n\n\n\n\nThe right to all the products and services of daily basic needs including food, clothes, health, education, and housing.\n\n\nProtection from products, services, and manufacturing processes that may expose you to danger.\n\n\nThe right to obtain accurate information about a product and service.\n\n\nFreedom in buying and being assured that a product or service you need comes through the right channels, based on the right price.\n\n\nRight to claim damages from unfair practices from the supplier or manufacturer.\n\n\n\n\nWhile the CPA does provide protection to consumers, a lemon law can strengthen the CPA and provide additional protection, especially to car buyers.\n\n\n\n\nAre Warranties Not Enough to Cover Defects in Cars?\n\n\nAll new cars and even some pre-owned cars, such as from \nCARSOME\n are covered under a warranty. While it\u2019s active, the warranty takes care of all the costs of repairing any defects in a car, thus protecting the consumer.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More:\n \nHow to Claim Your 1-Year CARSOME Extended Warranty\n\n\nHowever, sometimes you might just be unlucky enough to get a car that has a defect that can\u2019t be fixed or has new defects popping up. These might be caused by manufacturing faults from the factory or by mishandling of your car during the warranty repair process.\u00a0\n\n\nIn these cases, when a warranty just can\u2019t do enough for you, a lemon law can help by compelling the manufacturer to replace your car with a new, equivalent unit.\n\n\nOther Asian Countries That Have a Lemon Law\n\n\nBesides the USA, there are several countries closer to home that have enacted their version of a lemon law. These include Japan, South Korea, Singapore, China, and the Philippines. Singapore incorporates its lemon law into its Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA) 2004 and provides protection to consumers by allowing them to:\n\n\n\n\nMake a claim on a defective product (also known as lemons) within six months of purchase.\n\n\nHave the seller of the defective product repair, replace, refund, or reduce the price of the defective product (subject to conditions).\n\n\nHave the defective product repaired within a reasonable time at the seller\u2019s cost.\n\n\nHave the defective product replaced within a reasonable time at the seller\u2019s cost.\n\n\nAsk for a price reduction while keeping the product or return the product for a refund if the seller fails to repair it.\n\n\n\n\nWhile Malaysia\u2019s CPA already provides good protection to consumers, it\u2019s more general in nature. On the other hand, a lemon law can cover issues unique to products with long lifespans such as cars.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nHow To Spot a Flooded Car for Sale Before It\u2019s Too Late!\n\n\nWill We See a Lemon Law in Malaysia?\n\n\n\n\nThe domestic trade and consumer affairs (KPDNHEP) minister, Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi recently said they were considering a lemon law to protect consumers from fraud or having to bear losses when buying a defective used vehicle.\n\n\nThe ministry is currently studying the improvement of current laws when it comes to protecting buyers of used vehicles. It has also discussed the matter at the ministerial level and received input from industry players.\n\n\nThat being said, we are still in the very early stages and it\u2019s unclear when we\u2019ll have a lemon law in Malaysia. After all, a \nconsumer group has called for a lemon law\n to be enacted in the past with little effect. Let\u2019s hope the new interest from the ministry can expedite the enactment of this law to better protect us as consumers.\n\n\nChoose CARSOME Certified for Peace of Mind\n\n\nWe may not have a lemon law just yet but you can rest assured that any car you buy from CARSOME has our seal of quality.

Is your drive going to be more than an hour? If your answer is less than six hours and yes, you are already more than two times likelier to get into an accident than drivers who have had more than seven hours of sleep.\n\n\n\n\n    According to the American Automotive Association\u2019s Foundation for Traffic Safety study, missing even one or two hours of sleep doubles a driver\u2019s crash risk, while two or three hours increases the risk by 400 per cent.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Is the risk truly worse than driving drunk? First of all, how do you measure drinking and driving?\n\n\n\n\n    Before we delve into how the differences are, we must understand the prescribed limit for the amount of alcohol that is permitted under Malaysian law. Under the Road and Transport Act 1987, an individual should have less than\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        35 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath;\n    \n\n\n\n        80 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood; or\n    \n\n\n\n        107 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of urine.\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Globally, the standard practice of using blood alcohol content (BAC) to measure the permitted limits, and a breathalyser to test, is most common for law enforcement. In Malaysia, the BAC limit is 0.08, which makes us one of the most tolerable in the world, alongside Singapore, UK and USA amongst others. In Australia however, the limit is at 0.05 with guidelines to state that a standard drink per hour is a permitted 10 grams of alcohol. Here a 375ml can of beer at 3.5% alcohol is equivalent to one standard drink.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    These measurements are used even for fatigued and tired driving because studies have shown that being awake for 17 hours has a similar effect as having a 0.05 BAC. Here the effects of a 0.05 to 0.08 BAC already reduces the ability of the driver to judge distances, have a slower reaction time, and have a shorter concentration span. At the Malaysian limit of 0.08, the driver is already five times more likely to crash than before drinking.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Signs of fatigued and tired driving:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        Difficulty focusing, frequent blinking, heavy eyelids and sore eyes\n    \n\n\n\n        Daydreaming with wandering thoughts\n    \n\n\n\n        Yawning repeatedly\n    \n\n\n\n        Having difficulty keeping your head up or nodding off\n    \n\n\n\n        Swaying and drifting away from lane\n    \n\n\n\n        Over-steering\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Driving tired and fatigued is one of the top contributors to traffic accidents and fatalities. In fact, it is ever more important to focus on this as there are more laws that govern drunk driving, than fatigue. So what can you do? It is recommended that the moment you feel fatigued or tired, pull over to a safe location, have a strong cup of coffee, and take a 30-minute nap. However it is good to note that caffeine or energy drinks are only a temporary solution to restlessness. Remember that the only proper way to solve tiredness is sleep.\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here\n for Five Ways To Become A Better Driver Instantly!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat are the causes for car accidents? \nClick here\n to check out eight of the most common.\n\n\n\n\n\n    \u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nSell your car through Carsome and connect yourself to over 900 dealers nationwide through our bidding platform!\n\n", "Carsome Author", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

The gases emitted from the otto cycle and out the exhaust contains a range of chemicals that include carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrocarbons and more. By default and in modern cars, the emissions are usually not visible, however should there be visible and thick smoke, it is one of a few telltale signs that something is wrong in the combustion process. Knowing the different types of smoke can be helpful to get to the root of the problem and prevent further damage to your car. If uncertain, call a mechanic to help you assess any issues.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhite Smoke\n\n\n\n\nIt is important to note that thin white vapour and white smoke are two different signs. While the former is a normal occurrence usually due to the condensation build-up from a cold engine, it should go away when the engine has warmed up. The latter however is a more serious sign, indicating engine problems that need to be attended to immediately. The cause for white smoke could be from the engine burning coolant, a damaged cylinder head, blown head gasket or even a cracked engine block. In all, this means that the engine is overheating.\n\n\nCoolant leaks in this respect could result in overheating and major engine damage.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBlue Smoke\n\n\nBlue smoke from an exhaust of a Mercedes ML63 AMG. \nCredit: \nhttp://carsandlife.net\n\n\nBlue smoke is an indication that oil is being burned in the engine\u2019s combustion chamber due to clogged oil passages or something a little more serious. The fact that visible exhaust smoke is emitted, the burning of oil is higher and would need to be topped off over time. This could also affect the spark plugs, cause rough idling, resulting in reduced fuel mileage and stunted acceleration.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBlack Smoke\n\n\nBlack smoke might be sign of a bad engine. \nCredit: \nChadwick\u2019s Web\n\n\nDark or black exhaust smoke usually means the engine is burning too much fuel. Firstly, check the air filter. A clogged and dirty filter could be the reason. If the filter is clean, it could be faulty airflow or oxygen sensors, clogged fuel injector, fuel pressure regulator or an intake-system component. Should the smoke start at the beginning on a cold day and clears up in a short while, the engine could be using more fuel at start-up to warm up and provide smoother idling and acceleration.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nGrey Smoke\n\n\nCredit:\u00a0\n3si.org\n\n\nGrey smoke is usually harder to diagnose compared to the other types of smokes. One of the causes is burnt transmission fluid in the engine due to a faulty transmission modulator.\n\n\nIn vehicles with turbochargers, the smoke could be a sign of failure if accompanied by a high-pitched turbo whine. The part may need to be replaced with the oil lines that go to and from the turbo. A stuck PCV valve (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) could also be the cause. The valve\u2019s purpose cuts down on harmful emissions by redirecting back into the combustion chamber. Yet, if the PCV valve is stuck, pressure can build within and ultimately lead to oil leaks.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nClick the video below to understand more about exhaust smokes\n:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nOpening image credit to Getty Images\n.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nNeed to sell your car fast?

Who we are and what we do today is a tribute to everything our fathers or father figures have taught us in life. They were there supporting us when we took our first step, told us it was okay to try again when we fell off our bike, encouraged us to press on when things got difficult and gleamed with pride when we excelled in life.\n\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to cars, wise advice from fathers or father figures is something we take seriously when we are faced with any issues. \n\n\nSo, These Are Some Fatherly Car Advices We\u2019ve Learnt\u00a0\n\n\n So, in light of Father\u2019s Day, here are 10 best car advice we\u2019ve heard from fathers and father figures. These are also pieces of advice you can pass down to your kids.\n\n\n1. Follow the Service Schedule\n\n\nThe importance of servicing your car on time cannot be overlooked because it plays such an important role in the effectiveness of your car\u2019s overall performance. From routine oil changes, tire rotations and replacing fluids to the inspection of major components, your car\u2019s maintenance schedule identifies the regular intervals on when it is time to send your car for a service.\u00a0\n\n\nKeeping up with the recommended schedule helps you avoid expensive repairs which you may encounter in the future. This is because cars that are not serviced regularly may harm its performance in the long run. Besides that, keeping with the service schedule helps in increasing your car\u2019s market value as it is an indicator of a well-maintained vehicle.\n\n\n2. A \u2018Healthy\u2019 Engine for a \u2018Healthy\u2019 Car\n\n\n\n\nA well-performing functional car requires a healthy engine and it must be maintained well to avoid issues such as engine breakdowns, as well as to ensure lasting performance. One way to do that is to make sure the engine oil is checked regularly and changed according to schedule. As there are many moving and rotating parts in a car, the engine has to be well lubricated. When the oil starts to degrade and gets burnt off, friction between the parts might slowly increase which will affect the engine\u2019s performance, as well as drivability.\n\n\nOverheating can also cause engine malfunction. Keeping the temperature of the engine within its cool limits where the cooling system comes into play \u2013 when this system malfunctions, (maybe due to a leak), the engine can overheat and cause serious complications when you drive.\n\n\n3. Wash, Wax & Shine\n\n\nCleaning, waxing, repairs and maintenance such as \nfixing up a minor dent or scratch\n on the exterior part of the car should become a regular part of your car\u2019s maintenance routine. One of the best tips on how you can care for the exterior part of your car is to wash and polish it on a fortnightly basis to remove harmful debris, as well as reduce the chances of rust.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nOn top of that, the paint color and luster will also be maintained. However, remember to use cleaning products that are specifically formulated for cars \u2013 this is because they are guaranteed to keep your car\u2019s paint and wax coats safe as other detergents may strip off the protective layers. Formulations such as dishwashing soap may contain degreasers and other chemicals that can be harmful to the car\u2019s protective topcoat over time.\n\n\n4. Keep Your Tires in Shape\n\n\nThe lifespan of your tires can quickly depreciate if they aren\u2019t properly taken care of. Tires that aren\u2019t properly inflated can be a risk or threat on the road as they can become distorted and explode. One way to avoid this is to check the air pressure in your tires monthly.\u00a0\n\n\nThe proper air pressure for tires is determined by the weight and design of the car, as well as the specific tire dimensions recommended by the manufacturer. Usually, you can find the information about the air pressure on a sticker located by the driver\u2019s door.\n\n\n5\n. \nTime to Hit the Brakes or Change Them\n\n\n\n\nCar brakes play a crucial part in your car\u2019s performance. If your brakes don\u2019t work properly, it can put you, your passengers, and others on the road in great danger. One way to ensure its working condition is to check the brake and the brake\n\u00a0pads once a\n\u00a0year.\u00a0\n\n\nIf the brake pad is worn out or if you hear a cracking sound when you hit the brakes, it is time for a replacement. You should also check your brake fluids regularly as it works in transferring heat to all the different parts of the brake system.\n\n\n6. Keep Unwanted Creepy Crawlies Out\n\n\nPests such as cockroaches can be really annoying and scary for some. They are persistent, breed quickly, and have a tendency of transmitting diseases. If left unchecked, they can quickly be one of the common visitors in your car.\u00a0\n\n\nTo prevent any of these creepy crawlies from inhibiting your car, avoid eating or having any food stashed in your car. These roaches survive by seeking shelter and food, so when you eat in your car, you leave behind crumbs that will attract these food-loving creatures.\n\n\n7. Always Choose Genuine Accessories\n\n\nWhen it comes to the safety of your car, buying and using genuine parts are especially important. There are two reasons why you should always choose genuine over counterfeit parts. First is the quality \u2013 when you buy quality genuine products, they give you confidence and added security because you know these parts that you bought are made specifically to fit your car.\u00a0\n\n\nAnother reason is longevity as genuine parts are more durable, robust, tough, and stay true to their effectiveness in the test of time.\n\n\nRead\n: \nOriginal VS Fake Spare Parts \u2013 How to Tell the Difference\n\n\n8. Important Symbols on the Dashboard\n\n\n\n\nThe symbols that light up on your dashboard are there for a reason and it\u2019s best to familiarize yourself with the function of each symbol. This knowledge will really come in handy when you are driving along the highway and a symbol lights up on your dashboard.\u00a0\n\n\nSome of the common warning lights include the oil pressure light, engine temperature warning light, engine warning, low fuel indicator, and seat belt reminder. You can also keep your car\u2019s manual in your front compartment so you can check these symbols if\n\u00a0they ever appear.\u00a0\n\n\n9. Choosing a Quality Used Car\n\n\nIf you are looking to buy a car on a tight budget, opting for a used car is a smart alternative. Not only are used cars much more affordable, but you would also be able to pay off your loan in a shorter period of time. However, we understand that you may be wary of buying a used car because of its second-hand nature. Fret not, with the right dealer, you can get a quality used car with a great deal.\u00a0\n\n\nHere are some ways on how you can spot a good quality used car.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReview the service or maintenance report: \nUsed cars that are serviced consistently according to their schedule give an indication that the car is in a good shape.\n\n\nCheck the inspection report: \nFind a dealer that offers transparency in their transactions such as Carsome. In fact, Carsome lists the full 175-point inspection below all their listings with pictures to showcase the exterior, interiors, and more. Additionally, Carsome offers a five-day money-back guarantee and a one-year warranty for extra peace of mind.\u00a0\n\n\nTake it out for a test drive: \nAlways view the car before your purchase to ensure its quality. Test driving is a great way to test the car\u2019s brakes, tires, gears, and engine for any abnormalities or issues.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10. Maximize the Fuel Efficiency\n\n\n\n\nThe easiest and most effective way you can improve your fuel efficiency is to change your driving habits. One way you can do that is to minimize driving your car on a cold engine. Driving on a cold engine will burn more fuel as the fuel injectors send more fuel through the system in order to operate the car. Additionally, you are putting the cylinders and pistons at risk of wearing out when you drive off on a cold engine. So, to save fuel, you can start the engine and drive the car at a steady pace without acceleration to warm up the engine to a warmer temperature faster. \n\n\nYou s\nhould also avoid braking hard and with rapid accelerations \u2013 this will only lower the fuel efficiency because it burns more fuel. Another way to save fuel is by minimizing the use of your car\u2019s air conditioner. You can do this by rolling down the windows during your drives once in a while.\u00a0\n\n\nRemember, Thank Your Dad!\u00a0\n\n\nWhat we learn from our father, or our father figures are great life lessons that make us who we are today. Their sacrifice, love, and dedication made sure we turned out to be the best version of ourselves and for that, we humbly thank them!\n\n\nIf your father is beside you, give him a great big hug and thank him for everything he has done. If not, ring him up and remind him how much you appreciate his life lessons.\u00a0\n\n\nSo, from everyone at Carsome, we would like to wish all fathers a Happy Father\u2019s Day.

On top of that, trying to start an abandoned car can lead to even more damage, especially when there are no proper precautions taken when storing it.\n\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re trying to start a car that has been abandoned, it\u2019s best to go through these steps first to make sure your attempt does not cause any further damage to the car.\n\n\nLook for Signs of Leaks\n\n\nLook under the car for signs of leaks before checking the liquid levels in the engine. Avoid driving your car if there are any signs of a leak since it can cause serious and expensive damage to the engine.\n\n\nIf there are leak stains underneath the car, here\u2019s how you can try to identify where the leak is coming from:\n\n\n\n\nBlack or light brown liquid usually indicates the engine oil is leaking.\n\n\nRed or brown liquid usually indicates the transmission fluid is leaking.\n\n\nClear, red or brown liquid usually indicates the power steering fluid is leaking.\n\n\nTransparent yellow or brown liquid usually indicates that the brake fluid is leaking.\n\n\n\n\nIf possible, get a trustworthy mechanic to help you inspect and diagnose the leak before you attempt to start the car.\n\n\nCheck Fluid Levels in the Engine\n\n\nIt\u2019s important to check the liquid levels in the engine before you try to start a car that has been abandoned for a long time. Since the engine relies on various liquids to run properly, any issue with them can spell trouble for the vehicle.\n\n\n\n\nMake sure there is enough engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid before you proceed to start the engine. Also, if any of these liquids seem gritty, murky, or too dirty, then it is recommended that you flush them out and replace them entirely.\n\n\nMake Sure the Brakes are Functioning\n\n\nWhen a car is inactive for some time you have to pay attention to the brakes since they tend to seize due to the buildup of rust on the rotor and brake pad. If you feel grinding when applying the brakes, and hear a high-pitched squeaking noise, this also means that they have gone bad and need to be replaced.\n\n\nInspect the Battery\n\n\nCar batteries are known to last for up to three years. Despite that, if a car has been abandoned for an extended period, it will still slowly lose its voltage, leaving you with a dead battery. You can jump-start the car to solve this issue, but remember to check the battery terminals to make sure they\u2019re clean from debris and corrosion first.\n\n\n\n\nHowever, if the car will not restart after jump-starting, you might have to replace the car battery altogether or there could be an issue with the car\u2019s electrical systems and you will need a mechanic to diagnose the problem for you.\n\n\nRead more: \nThe Proper Way to Jump-Start Your Car\n\n\nExamine the Tires\n\n\nLeaving a car stationary for an extended period of time will cause flat spots to develop on the tires. Tires under static vehicle load for a prolonged period of time are susceptible to this condition.\n\n\nIn some cases, driving a car for a while will clear the flat spots. But often, it can be permanent and when this happens it becomes necessary to replace your tires with new ones. Tires with flat spots are unsafe to drive with since they cause excessive vibrations when you\u2019re driving and mess up your handling.\u00a0\n\n\nRead more: \nWhat you need to know about car tires\n\n\nReplace the Fuel\n\n\nPetrol has a shelf life of around three to six months before it starts to degrade. When a car has been abandoned for any period longer than that, you should properly drain the old petrol and then refill the tank before you start your car.\n\n\nWhen the old petrol starts to oxidize, it may cause deposits and other impurities to clog up the inner mechanisms of your engine, causing substantial damage when you try to start the car.\n\n\nRead more: \nSigns of a Faulty Car Fuel Pump: Here\u2019s When You Should Replace It\n\n\nSell Your Car to CARSOME for a Fast & Convenient Selling Process\n\n\nInstead of leaving your car parked, why not sell it to CARSOME to get instant cash?

Generally, peace and quiet go along with our lives, but criminals may still be lurking in the shadows preying on the weak and unsuspecting ones. The \nDepartment of Statistics Malaysia\n quoted that as of 2021, the crime index decreased by 19.3 percent to 52,974 cases as compared to 65,623 cases in 2020. Violent and property crime also decreased by 13.4 percent and 20.8 percent respectively to 11,495 cases and 41,479 cases in 2021. The department quotes that such a decrease has been attributed to the Movement Control Order (MCO) and cross-border restrictions imposed.\n\n\nFor lone female drivers, self-defense is the utmost important skill and asset to possess in the unfortunate case of an attacker. Now, this isn\u2019t America where we can simply go into a store and walk off with a \ngun or a knife\n. We can, however, keep a few handy tools in our car as self-defense should the need arise. Remember, this isn\u2019t Hollywood with all the flashy moves and fight scenes. Even a fully-trained black belt is no match if you ever get caught off guard.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nTop 4 Best Dashcam Brands in Malaysia & How to Choose One\n\n\nNotable Incident/s on \nLone Women Drivers\n\n\nIf anyone recalls the bone-chilling case of the murder of \nCanny Ong\n back in 2003, she was abducted in an underground parking lot by an assailant despite the victim being a black belt martial artist. Without going too much into the gruesome details, the victim did not survive the kidnapping. Women-only parking lots in shopping malls are established after the event to provide protection but is it\n enough?\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgTJgk3qPOA\n\n\nSnatch thieves\n typically run their modus operandi on their motorcycles targeting lone women on the streets, in alleyways, or while getting out of their cars. In some cases, right in front of \ntheir homes\n.\n No matter how secure or brightly lit an area can be, we can never take it to chance. Thus, it is important, especially for lone women drivers to have these self-defense kits ready should trouble arise.\u00a0\n\n\nKeys As An Improvised Self-Defense Kit\n\n\nAs a beginner tip, it\u2019s always a good start to arm yourself with something ready at hand. A common piece of advice on the streets is to slot in a sharp, pointy key in between the knuckles like Wolverine in the movies. The caveat, according to \nmartial arts instructors\n, would actually hurt you more than the assailant. See, the skin between our fingers is quite soft and fragile. Any sudden and rough confrontation is going to be one big paper cut.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhat you can do, however, is try to hold the keys like how you would hold a knife. Either holding it upwards or downwards. When an assailant begins to approach you, utilize the keys by stabbing where it hurts and call for help. Furthermore, a gaping wound on the perpetrator will make it easier for authorities and onlookers to identify if caught.\n\n\nRead More: \nKeep Yourself Safe With These Items From Car Accessory Stores\n\n\nPepper Spray\n\n\nSalt and pepper is the world\u2019s most common seasoning used in food. But did you know that pepper sprays are manufactured as an option for a non-lethal self-defense kit? Pepper sprays have been favored by law enforcement and individual citizens alike due to their cheap and non-lethal way of riot control. To use pepper spray is quite simple \u2013 Aim the nozzle at the assailant, hold your breath and squeeze the trigger.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f_PBzDhLwg\n\n\nPepper spray is an inexpensive way for crowd suppression and surprisingly, is \nlegal to own\n. A quick search on any Malaysian e-commerce site can give you hundreds of listings ranging from cheap disposable ones to high-end refillable ones. If push comes to shove, sometimes \ncurry powder\n can be used as a cheap and quick alternative, as demonstrated by robbers in Singapore.\n\n\nSafety Whistle\n\n\nA humble little whistle can not only remind us of our \nHari Sukan\n days but alert anyone nearby should the need arise. While it may lack any feature to do any physical harm, the sheer presence of a high-pitched whistle blaring in a dark alley or a parking lot would frighten any assailant due to the attention it has garnered. Moreover, a safety whistle is small and cheap enough to conceal in your pocket or with your key bundle. Thus, it is best to combo it with something else that provides substantial defense.\n\n\nAlarm Keychains\n\n\nIf you have a little budget to spend, alarm keychains are ubiquitous in almost every situation like getting lost in a mountain hike, needing to alert rescuers in a car crash, or for personal protection for women and children alike. Alarm keychains are also similar to safety whistles but the advantage of alarm keychains is it\u2019s activated via a pin pulled from the device akin to a hand grenade. This leaves your hands available to reach out for other means to defend yourself like grabbing a can of pepper spray in your car. The high-pitched alarm will alert anyone in the vicinity and it won\u2019t stop blaring until the safety pin is inserted or deactivated via a switch.\n\n\nAlarm keychains as a self-defense kit these days come in designs that look seemingly harmless and compact. For under RM30, you should be able to nab one of decent quality from any Malaysian e-commerce site.

However, even the most seasoned martial artists or Batman with prep time can still take a few punches off guard by a henchman lurking in the shadows. My former self-defense instructor taught me some tricks that are useful to pass on. Should you feel unsafe by a stranger approaching you or you feel your life is in immediate danger while you\u2019re in your vehicle, keep your doors locked. If the assailant attempts to communicate with you, keep the car cabin brightly lit and the car engine on, lower the car window slightly ajar and pay attention to your surroundings. If a weapon is brandished or the stranger starts to show signs of aggression, it\u2019s time to pedal to the metal. Drive off to the nearest police station or somewhere crowded and brightly lit for help.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nProper & Safe Driving Attire: Why Committing a Fashion Faux Pas behind the Wheel Means Being Safer on the Road?\n\n\nMoreover, if any readers here have an automated gate \ninstalled \nat your place, don\u2019t kill the engine immediately upon entering the compound. Instead, keep it idle till the automated gates close fully before exiting the vehicle. This is very important as numerous robbery \nattempts have been reported\n where the assailant ran into the house while the automated gate is closing. Should any hostile individuals be spotted attempting to rush into the gates, put your gear in reverse and ram through your gates and get to safety. The loud bang followed by the sound of your car screeching will be loud enough to alert your neighbors while scarring those soon-to-be robbers away. Replacing that auto gate may be expensive, but is risking your life really worth it? All in all, the most foolproof way, as quoted by various martial arts and self-defense instructors, is to simply run.\n\n\n\n\nTo conclude, we hope these items will be helpful and pray our readers may never need to use them ever.\u00a0\n\n", "Tags\nAccident\nDriving\nLearning Centre\nLifestyle\nsafety\nself defense\nself defense kit\nTips", "Brian Wong", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

If the right steps are taken immediately after a car accident, you can stop a bad situation from turning into a worse one. Here are some things to remember if you are ever in a car accident.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAfter the Car Accident\n\n\nStay Calm & Check for Any Sign of Injury\n\n\nTake deep breaths and try to assess the situation in your car first. Check for any sign of injury on yourself and others in the car. It\u2019s always best to stay calm so that you will be able to make fast and logical decisions easily if needed.\u00a0\n\n\nMove Your Car to a Safe Location\n\n\nIf your car isn\u2019t badly damaged and can be driven, turn on your hazard lights and move your car to the side of the road to avoid another accident,\u00a0 road congestion, or traffic jam.\u00a0\n\n\nAssess the Exterior Condition of Your Car\n\n\nOnce you are out of harm\u2019s way, step out of your car while also making sure the other party or parties involved step out of their car as well unless they are badly injured and you should call for help.\u00a0 Check the severity of the accident on your car by going around and assessing your car.\u00a0\n\n\nTake Pictures & Exchange Information\n\n\n\n\nStart snapping away! As proof of the accident, always remember to take pictures of the damages caused by the accident to all parties involved. This will come in handy if you are blamed for an accident you did not cause. Some other useful photos that can be used as proof can be images of skid marks on the road and the exact location of the accident.\n\n\nTake down the details of the other vehicles and parties involved in the accident. This includes:\n\n\n\n\nCar registration number.\n\n\nCar model, model year, and color.\n\n\nDriver\u2019s name, address, and phone number.\n\n\nDriver\u2019s IC and driving license number.\n\n\nWitnesses\u2019 name, address, and phone number.\n\n\n\n\nAgreement with Parties Involved\n\n\nDepending on the accident, you could come to an agreement with the other party on settling the matter if the damages are not severe. In most minor accidents, drivers would usually come to an agreement to a payment settlement without involving the police. But, do take note that if your repair costs are under a certain value, you might not be able to make an insurance claim. But if the damage is severe, proceed to make a police report.\n\n\nAfter the Accident\n\n\nMake a Police Report\n\n\nYou should make a police report within 24 hours of the accident for it to be valid. Do remember to bring along your driving license and your identification card.\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nThe officer at the police station will take down the details of the accident and your personal particulars, and after a short inquiry, the officer will conclude on who is responsible for the accident and will issue summons. You must pay the summons within a month.\n\n\nInsurance Claim\n\n\nCall your insurance agent or their assistance hotline as soon as possible if you will be able to make an insurance claim. If you are found guilty of causing the accident, you might not want to put in an insurance claim (if the damage is not severe) as it would affect your \nNo-Claim Discount (NCD)\n.\u00a0\n\n\nThey will ask questions on the accident and will advise, as well as assist in arranging a tow truck to the nearest authorized panel workshop. Failing to send your vehicle to an approved workshop might prevent you from claiming any damages from the accident.\n\n\nThe insurance company will send a loss adjuster to assess the damage to your vehicle and find out who\u2019s responsible. A conclusion will be made and the insurance company will be informed on how much you\u2019d be able to claim from the accident. This will result in either a claim from your insurance or the other party\u2019s insurance company.\n\n\nSend Your Car to the Appointed Worksho\n\n\nIf you are planning to claim insurance for the damage to your car, you would have to send your car to an appointed workshop approved by your insurance company. If you do not do as requested, your insurance claim might not be approved.\u00a0\n\n\nWhat Not to do During a Car Accident\n\n\n\n\nCar accidents can cause panic and frustration especially if it is your very first accident.\u00a0 Now that you know what you should do if you get into an accident, here are some things you should not do when a car accident happens.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nNo matter whose fault it is, do not admit it was your fault without consulting your insurance agent first.\u00a0\n\n\nWithout seeking the advice of your insurance agent, do not also agree or offer a settlement for the accident.\u00a0\n\n\nDo not sign anything without reading it first or confirming it over with your insurance agent even if the other party says it is from your insurance company.\u00a0\n\n\nAs things are already heated up, do not start a fight by playing the blame game.\n\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s Always Important to Drive\u00a0 & Stay Safe on the Road\n\n\nThough accidents can happen anywhere and anytime, it does not hurt to drive a little safer so that you are not the cause of the accident.\u00a0\n\n\nWith interdistrict restrictions loosening, make sure you keep your eyes on the road and both hands on the wheel when you travel.

Yet, there are only three main brands in Malaysia that seem to be invested heavily into the platform of the future of electric vehicles. However to get there, the transition between petrol and electric is one that requires more than just the hybridisation of these vehicles. For Mercedes-Benz, the brand is focusing on luxury, and the C 350e does just that.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe Looks\n\n\n\n\nThe W205 C-Class design is certainly the most striking showcase of the brand\u2019s current design language (together with the W222 S-Class and W213 E-Class). Here in its smallest sedan form, the design is best represented as a minimalist form that brings together \u201cprecise lines and sculptural surfaces that create progressive light and shade effects.\u201d While the C-Class has been around locally for about four years now, the new C showcases automotive passion by way of a contemporary design idiom. As Gorden Wagener, VP of Design at Daimler says, \u201cit demonstrates sensual purity and interprets modern luxury on a new level.\u201d\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nInside\n\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to the cabin, the C-Class and current updated line-up of vehicles truly sets the bar ahead of other marques in its class. The new centre console features flowing lines that sweep elegantly from the centre air vents to the centre armrest. Here the trim on the C 350e that was tested best expresses the new form and lines. From the piano black centre console and silver finishes on the air vents, aluminium finishes by the door cards and matching circular Burmester speaker grilles, to the lighter silk beige tone of the seats and doors panels, the new design is an exclusive cabin to be in.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIn terms of sound, we really liked the Burmester surround system with crisp highs, mids and enough bass to keep our ears tuned and happy. In fact, we like the audio here and rank it second behind the exquisite Bowers & Wilkins set up in Volvo\u2019s range.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nFeatures\n\n\n\n\nThe C 350e is Mercedes-Benz Malaysia\u2019s first plug-in hybrid model and one that is also proudly assembled in Pekan, Pahang. In terms of power, the C 350e houses Mercedes\u2019 2.0-litre petrol with an output of 211 hp and 350 Nm of torque while the electric motor is at 80 hp and 340 Nm, combined, the system has 279 hp and 600 Nm put through the 7G-tronic automatic transmission.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPower aside, the setup of the C 350e sits on the brand\u2019s Airmatic air suspension system that makes driving on uneven surfaces much smoother. Yet, if pushed a little too quick over larger undulations, the suspension does feel a tad elastic towards the rear.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn terms of real world tests for us, a full charge of the batteries provided 24 km of drive. On top of the standard Eco, Comfort, Sport, Sport + and Individual, the electric modes available within the system is Hybrid, E-Mode, E-Save and Charge.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nFor the C 350e, the Charge mode is the standout point for their range of \u201cEQ branded vehicles\u201d as of April 2018, as its purpose is to use the combustion engine to charge the electric motor (making the former run perpetually during the charge cycle; disengaging electric drive) which will take about 60 km on motorway speeds to replenish fully. Should you consider popping by the brand\u2019s charging stations at various Klang Valley malls, the charge using the Type 2 connectors should complete in under 2 hours.\n\n\nWhat is good to note though, is that the electric modes are only accessible through Comfort and Eco dynamic settings.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nDriving Impressions\n\n\n\n\nLike all the other PHEVs we\u2019ve driven and reviewed, the C 350e is just the same at the get go. Transitions from electric motor to combustion is seamless for on the road driving, but on a standstill where battery power is limited and the petrol engine has to be activated, the start is inherently the most noticeable here compared to the other PHEV marques. Floor the throttle on Hybrid mode and the C 350e will activate Boost mode, providing the full grunt of the system which proves to be really fast.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhat Could Be Better\n\n\n\n\nThe infotainment system. While the software used in the current Comand-APS NTG 5 system is the latest and is similar to that first introduced in the 2014 S-Class, we believe it requires a faster processor to work between the menus. In our test vehicle, it required waiting (sometimes in excess of 5 seconds) to move between selected options. However as with the recent announcement of fully digitalising the instrument cluster and infotainment system with the next generation MBUX as seen in the all-new A-Class, we believe the ease of use and interaction of the Comand system will certainly be improved.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIs The C 350e For You?\n\n\n\n\nThe cabin of the new C-Class is a great place to be in. In fact, when it comes to exclusivity, comfort and class, we feel that Mercedes has really hit the nail on the head in exterior and interior design with this one. However, does it warrant the RM 282,955 (without GST) and RM 41,000 ahead of BMW\u2019s 330e M Sport? If the price is right, why not?\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for power, Mercedes has the AMG\u2019s that\u2019s proudly Made in Malaysia. \nClick here\n to find out more about the C 43 and GLC 43\n\n\nPerhaps something from BMW that could win you over the PHEV competition? \nClick here\n for a rundown of iPerformance vehicles.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSell your car through Carsome and find out how easy it is to sell fast, fair and free!\n\n", "Tags\nCars\nDriving\nLifestyle\nReviews", "carsomeadministrator", " \n\n\nLEAVE A REPLY \nCancel reply\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment:\n\n\nPlease enter your comment!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName:*\n\n\nPlease enter your name here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail:*\n\n\nYou have entered an incorrect email address!\n\n\nPlease enter your email address here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\u0394\n \n\n", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}

A car battery lifespan in Malaysia can range from two to five years depending on how it\u2019s used and its overall performance. It provides the initial jolt to start a car and also powers all the electrical components in your car. The last thing you want is to be left stranded with a dead battery because, without the jolt of electricity, your car probably won\u2019t start. If you want to know how long a car battery lasts or what is a maintenance-free battery and a lead-acid battery, here is everything you need to know.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTable of Contents\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow Exactly Does a Car Battery Work?\n\n\nTypes of Car Batteries\n\n\nHow to Maintain Your Car Battery in Malaysia\n\n\nSize & Price of Car Batteries in Malaysia\n\n\nHow to Find Out How Long Your Car Battery Can Last or If It\u2019s Dead\n\n\nMain Causes of Car Batteries Losing Power or Dying\n\n\nHow to Prolong the Lifespan of Your Car\u2019s Battery in Malaysia\n\n\nKeeping your Car\u2019s Battery at its Optimum Health\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow Exactly Does a Car Battery Work?\n\n\nWe know that the function of a battery is to provide electricity to power up a car, but here\u2019s how this powerful little box works \u2013 when you start your engine, a chemical reaction in the battery is converted into electrical energy to power up your engine, lights, and accessories.\n\n\nWhen your car is running, the battery is kept charged by the alternator. This allows the car battery to provide a steady electrical current during your drive which keeps other electrical components running. The battery is also kept charged by the alternator so it has enough juice to start the car up the next time you drive.\n\n\n\n\nTypes of Car Batteries\n\n\n\n\n1. Wet or Dry Cell Battery\n\n\nContrary to popular belief, all car batteries actually have wet cells (the electrolytes are in liquid form) in them. The differentiating point is whether the battery requires maintenance or is maintenance-free. They are called lead-acid batteries since they have positive and negative lead electrodes immersed in an electrolytic solution of sulfuric and water.\n\n\nAlthough maintenance-free car batteries do not require the occasional top-up of electrolytes (which conventional maintainable batteries do), owners will still need to regularly check the terminals for corrosive build-up. This corrosive build-up, which can reduce the lifespan of a car battery can be in the form of a white powder that is caused by overcharging, overfilling the battery, electrolyte leakage, and chemical reaction in the copper clams. The only downside to it a maintenance-free car battery is its lifespan \u2013 It doesn\u2019t last as long as conventional maintenance batteries.\n\n\n2. Gel cell & AGM Battery\n\n\n\n\nWhile the standard car battery lasts about two years, there are two other types of car batteries that can last up to five years. These are known as Gel Cell and Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries. A gel cell battery has silica (sand) to turn the acid electrolyte in the battery into gel form which makes it spill-proof. In an AGM battery, glass mats are placed between the thin lead plates (electrodes) to cushion them. In turn, manufacturers can squeeze in more glass mats and lead plates into a single battery. This leads to more power\u00a0\n\n\nBoth these batteries hold their charge better, don\u2019t degrade as easily, and even hold up better in storage. Although these car batteries last longer, they often cost twice as much or more than common wet and dry cell batteries. That said, Gel Cell batteries typically cost more than AGM ones.\n\n\n\n\nHow to Maintain Your Car Battery in Malaysia\n\n\nJust like any other vehicle component, how long a car battery lasts depends on how you maintain it. It needs to be inspected and serviced periodically to maintain its quality and performance. Here are seven tips you can follow.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheck the battery electrolyte level\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheck the water or electrolyte level in your car battery (wet cell) every three months or every 5000 kilometers. If you drive long-distance frequently,\u00a0 ensure you check the water level in the battery before you leave. You should add enough electrolytes so that the level is about three-quarters of the whole battery cell.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClean the battery terminal\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe battery terminal connects the car\u2019s electronic system to your car\u2019s battery. If the battery terminals are loose, tighten them immediately as loose terminals might cause green salts to form around it that would affect the connectivity of the battery.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheck the battery insulation\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSome car models are equipped with an insulating sheath that serves to protect the battery from the engine\u2019s heat. Batteries that are exposed to hot temperatures will directly affect their lifespan.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUse quality batteries\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuality batteries have a better lifespan \u2013 in some cases, batteries can last up to five years if cared for and used properly. Quality car batteries also usually come with a warranty and guarantee. If you have the budget for a longer-lasting battery, you can consider AGM car batteries.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAvoid using any oil on the battery terminals\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImproper use of oils such as grease on the battery terminals can cause rust to form. In fact, if used excessively, the power of the battery will be depleted, hence affecting its performance.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTurn off any electronic components if the engine is off\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBack when most cars still had carburetors and electrical systems that weren\u2019t as efficient as today, electrical components such as the air conditioner compressor would place a heavy load on the engine and battery. That\u2019s why it was important to ensure all electrical components were turned off before starting the engine.\n\n\nSince modern cars have much more efficient engines and electrical systems, this is less of a problem. However, it\u2019s still a good idea to turn off components such as the air conditioner, radio, and lights to reduce the load on your engine and battery. Of course, don\u2019t leave your headlights on as your batteries will be dead by the time you get back to your car.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheck the battery\u2019s power occasionally\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe normal reading of a \u2018\u201chealthy\u201d car battery is between 12 to 13 Volts when the engine is not running, and between 13.5 to14.5 Volts if the engine is running. If the battery power is below 13.5 Volts or above 14.5 Volts, chances are there is a problem with your car\u2019s alternator.\n\n\nRead Also\n: \nThings to Check When You Service Your Car\n\n\n\n\nSize & Price of Car Batteries in Malaysia\n\n\nThe price of car batteries in Malaysia highly depends on the brand (Century, Bosch, Yokohama, GP Yamasaki, Aokly, Yuasa, Hitachi, etc.), type, and the car battery size. The following is a list of the estimated price of car batteries sold in Malaysia differentiated by size. To ensure an optimal lifespan for your car battery, be sure to select the right one for your car.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBattery Size\n\n\nPrice\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNS40ZL\n\n\nRM120 to RM170\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNS60\n\n\nRM140 to RM210\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNS70\n\n\nRM190 to RM350\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDIN55\n\n\nRM190 to RM290\n\n\n\n\n\n\n55D23L\n\n\nRM190 to RM295\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Find Out How Long Your Car Battery Can Last or If It\u2019s Dead\n\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s hard to truly gauge a battery\u2019s health from the outside but that doesn\u2019t mean you should leave it as it is. You can gauge a wet or dry car battery\u2019s lifespan by looking out for the telltale signs like below.\n\n\n\n\nThe starter feels a little draggy when you power up the car or the car takes longer than usual to start.\n\n\nYour car needs jump-start assistance especially under cooler temperatures (morning or during rain). If you find yourself jump-starting your car more often than usual (three times per week or so), your car battery needs to be replaced or you need to add some water into it (wet cell).\n\n\nA car battery at the end of its lifespan may look bloated or swollen. This is because the battery has reached its maximum level and can no longer receive charge from the alternator.\n\n\nA rancid or acidic smell from the car battery. Usually, this smell can be inhaled when the bonnet of the car is opened.\n\n\nAlarms sounding erratic also indicate that your car battery is dead and not in a good condition. Even so, you are advised to check the remote or car alarm system first for confirmation.\n\n\nThe fuel level meter becomes erratic, non-uniform, and unusual. In a normal situation, the meter will show a distance of 115km \u00b1 with 3 bars of petrol, but if the battery is dead, the meter will only show a distance of 50km \u00b1 only (this is especially common for Perodua cars).\n\n\nThe clock and radio settings need to be tuned each time the car is turned on. This indicates your battery is weak and needs to be replaced.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMain Causes of Car Batteries Losing Power or Dying\n\n\nThere are many factors that cause car batteries to lose their power. Here are some of the causes that can shorten the lifespan of your car battery:\n\n\n\n\nShort circuit or dead cell in the battery.\n\n\nThe car\u2019s engine hasn\u2019t been turned on for a long period of time.\n\n\nDamage to alternator parts.\n\n\nImproper wiring systems by third-party accessory components.\n\n\nExcessive installation of car accessories.\n\n\nElectrical components are not switched off when the engine is turned off.\n\n\nMaintenance factors \u2013 dirty, rusty, or loose battery terminals.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Prolong the Lifespan of Your Car\u2019s Battery in Malaysia\n\n\nProper maintenance can prevent damage and extend the lifespan of your car\u2019s battery. Here are some ways you can do so:\n\n\n1. Park Indoors More Frequently\n\n\nAs Malaysia\u2019s climate is warmer, car batteries both wet and dry last half as long compared to batteries in cooler temperatures. Why? Heat reduces the lifespan of a car battery by accelerating the chemical reactions within a battery, increasing internal discharge. So, to improve the lifespan of your car battery, park indoors more often.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Unplug Your Battery If You Are Not Using Your Car for a Long Period of Time\n\n\n\n\nHave you once gone on a trip only to return to a car that won\u2019t start? We\u2019ve been there too. Next time before you go on holiday or don\u2019t drive your car for a long period of time, just unplug the negative terminal (black cable cover) on the car battery. If you\u2019re worried about your car alarm and security that will be disabled after you unplug the battery, you could get your neighbor, friend, or family to start it for you every alternate day.\n\n\n3. You can\u2019t recharge flat car batteries!\n\n\nMany drivers think that car batteries that have gone flat can be recharged by driving around. This isn\u2019t true. In fact, continuous undercharging will lower the capacity of the battery over time and also shorten its lifespan. The only way to restore a flat battery\u2019s charge properly is to use an appropriate multi-stage charger. If you\u2019re not using your car frequently, at least start it every alternate day, or drive around the block once a week.\n\n\n\n\nKeeping your Car\u2019s Battery at Optimum Health\n\n\nKeeping an optimum battery charge and your car in tip-top condition will not only ensure that you have a smooth drive but also help your car battery last longer so you don\u2019t get \nstranded on the side of the road\n.\u00a0\n\n\nSince your car\u2019s battery plays a vital role in its overall performance, taking the proper course of action when a problem arises with your battery will also help you get a better price later on when you decide to sell your car.

They are responsible for the handling, steering, comfort, traction, and braking of a vehicle and are crucial in the event of an emergency.\u00a0\n\n\nIn this article, we list some basic knowledge about car tires that you should know about, including tips on how to prolong the lifespan of your tires.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nUnderstanding tire specs\n\n\nWhat do the numbers and letters on the side of a tire mean?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n175/65 R15 (84 H)\n\n\n\n\nSpeed rating chart\n\n\n\n\n*At the time when Z-speed tire ratings were established, it was used to label speeds in excess of 240 km/h. However, as cars were able to achieve faster speeds, the W and Y ratings were introduced.\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n2519\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nKeeping tires inflated properly\n\n\n\n\nAn underinflated or overinflated tire will determine its wear over time. If you realize that the outer edges of your tire are more worn than the center, it means that your tire has been running frequently underinflated. A tire that is underinflated won\u2019t absorb bumps well and could cause the front to go out of alignment or damage the suspension.\u00a0\n\n\nOverinflation happens in the opposite, where your tire is more worn on the inner part than the outer edges. The cause for this is that the tire will bulge vertically, causing only the center portion to be in contact with the road.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTo prevent either of these from happening, it is important to fill your tires with the accurate pressure at least once a fortnight. This information can usually be found in your vehicle owner\u2019s manual or on the tire information sticker on the driver\u2019s side door. You can find information about your tire size, specifications, as well as the appropriate pressure for all tires including the spare in the trunk.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nExtending the life of your tires\n\n\n\n\nApart from filling your tires with the right pressure, it is also important to rotate them regularly. Doing so helps to extend its life and improve performance by ensuring they wear evenly over time. Tire companies recommend a rotation once every six months, or between 10,000 to 13,000 km. When it is time for rotation, just head to your regular tire shop and they will do the necessary swap for you.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nPrevent flat-spotting\n\n\n\n\nFlat-spotting happens when your tire has been left stationary under vehicle load for an extended period. However, flat-spotting itself has two types: temporary and semi-permanent. Most flat-spotting cases are temporary. This occurs when your car has been sitting stationary for weeks. It is noticeable via slight vibrations on the steering wheel during the first few kilometers which will remedy itself when the tires have reached their operational temperature.\n\n\nTo prevent this, before leaving your car stationary for several weeks, increase the pressure of your tires by 3 PSI. This will help to reduce the effects.\n\n\nSemi-permanent flat-spotting will occur over stationary periods of a month and more. Should this happen, it is best to head to your tire specialist for advice and solutions.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nRead below for more stories!\n\n\nHere are\n six tips for a safer drive during Covid-19\n.\n\n\nLearn more about car batteries\n, the myths, and how to improve its lifespan.\n\n\nLooking to clean and disinfect your vehicle? \nClick here\n for tips and types of disinfectants to use!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nSelling your car is now easy and straightforward.

The initiatives under Penjana include the exemption of sales tax for locally-assembled and imported new cars to spur new car sales. With car companies revising their prices for new cars following the announcement, consumer interest in the used car sector is growing as well.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWhether you\u2019re looking to buy a new or used car, and plan to sell your current ride, there\u2019s always the best time to do it based on depreciation and market value.\u00a0 Read on as we share data based on Carsome Insights 2019 and provide you with tips on choosing the best time to sell and buy a used car.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAverage age of top-selling cars to Carsome in 2019\n\n\nData from Carsome Insights 2019 found that 75% of car owners sell their cars after six years. Of the thousands of cars sold to Carsome in 2019, we found that 44% of cars aged six to eight years were the most popular. Combined with the next highest total of 32% of cars aged from nine to 12 years old, it seems clear that three out of four owners look to sell their cars after six years.\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe interactive graph above showcases the year-on-year retained retail value for the Perodua Myvi, Proton Saga, Toyota Vios, and Honda City that was sold to Carsome in 2019.

For the Myvi, its depreciation tapers off after the third year and maintains an overall higher value than the Proton Saga after the fourth year.\n\n\nFigures also show the correlation between these popular cars and the average age of the top-selling cars to Carsome. The four cars show an average retained value of 50% or more (apart from the Proton Saga) at six years of age.\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhen should you buy used?\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nCarsome Insights 2019 show the best time to do it should be between two to three years old for the Perodua Myvi, Proton Saga, Toyota Vios, or Honda City. Based on the data, depreciation is around 21-25% for the City and Vios, and 22-35% for the Myvi and Saga. However, it is good to note that the Saga further depreciates 14% on year four, retaining a resale value of just 57% from its retail price.

So, checking your oil, which is also known as black oil or lubricating oil, frequently should be a priority in your \ncar maintenance\n routine.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTable of Contents\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5 Signs That Your Engine Oil Needs to Be Changed\n\n\nTips on How to Pick the Right Engine Oil for Your Car\n\n\nThe Price of Engine Oils in Malaysia\n\n\nChange and Protect Your Engine with the Right Car Engine Oil\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBut what is engine oil for?\n Lubrication.\u00a0 As there are many metal components inside an engine, the oil works as a lubricator to ensure everything runs smoothly by reducing friction between these components. This oil also helps in \ndissipating heat away and also helps in cleaning the engine by trapping debris, as well as engine shavings that would otherwise end up scratching your engine internals.\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0So, here are some tips to help you understand when you should change your engine oil.\n\n\n5 Signs That Your Engine Oil Needs to Be Changed\n\n\nSome car owners might argue that their engine oil should only be changed after their car reaches a certain mileage or from the number of months since its last change. While this is true, you should also keep a lookout for these five warning signs that indicate you might need to change your oil earlier than expected.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProblematic Engine\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClean and concentrated engine oil is able to lubricate and prevent the many metal components in an engine from making contact. But when the oil is less concentrated or dirty, it can no longer lubricate properly which will cause a knocking sound from the engine because of the friction between the metal components. This can also cause your engine to overheat.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Smell of Burning Petrol\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen you smell the scent of petrol every time you get in your car, this indicates a problem with your engine. The smell may be due to an oil leak in the engine or engine overheating which causes the petrol to burn in the exhaust system, resulting in gray or bluish smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe. Immediately replace the engine oil if such signs appear to prevent serious damage to the car such as your engine catching fire.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nColor of Engine Oil\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClean lubricating oil is usually brown and transparent. However, the color becomes darker due to the dirt and debris from the internal combustion of the engine. So, the next time you check the oil level, do the dipstick oil check. If your dipstick can\u2019t be seen due to the color of the oil, you need an oil change.\n\n\nHow to Perform a Dipstick Check\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRemove and clean the dipstick of any oil particles.\n\n\nReinsert the dipstick into the engine oil to check the oil level and color.\n\n\nIf the oil is above the average level, some of the oil should be cleared so that it does not affect the performance of the engine.\n\n\nClean the dipstick on a clean tissue to see the color of the oil.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEngine Warning Light\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf the car engine warning light starts to blink on your dashboard, it indicates that your car engine is low on black oil. If the engine oil light is on, immediately check the oil level and add some if necessary. Take your vehicle to a nearby workshop for further inspection to prevent any serious damage from happening.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIncreased Fuel Consumption\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn increase in fuel or petrol consumption can lead to the car\u2019s engine oil needing to be replaced. This is because the this oil is not as concentrated as it should be and causes stress on the engine. Engine components will then have to work harder than usual with an increased performance which indirectly increases petrol consumption.\n\n\nThere are more to engine oils than just these warning signs. To get a car to drive with optimum performance, your engine has to perform at its best too and this also depends on the type of black oil that your car uses.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nTips on How to Pick the Right Engine Oil for Your Car\n\n\n\n\n1. Manufacturing Model & Series\n\n\nThe first step in choosing the right lubricating oil is to know the model and series of your car. Newer car models are equipped with new high-performance engines that are formulated to increase efficiency throughout the drive. As a result, most of the oils sold in the market today are formulated and developed to keep up with the technology and development of these new engines. So, make sure you check the types of oils that are suited for your car model and make.\u00a0\n\n\n2. Driving Environment\n\n\nConsider your environmental and location factors before choosing the right oil to use. Different environmental conditions (such as hot or cold climates, paved or rocky roads, among others) can cause different problems for your car. Typically, the engine oil replacement is based on how frequent and how far has the car driven and what type of terrain it is driven on.\u00a0 If the car is frequently used or frequently driven on rocky terrain, its oil needs to be replaced sooner. However, even if the car is rarely used or driven on a normal road, the oil still needs to be replaced according to the service schedule to avoid any damage to the engine.\n\n\n3. Types of Engine Oil\n\n\nIn the market, there are various types of engine oil sold including mineral oils, semi-synthetic and fully-synthetic. Each type of oil has its own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, consider other factors such as viscosity level, temperature, resistance to sedimentation (sludge), and durability, before deciding.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMineral oil\n:\n Mineral oils are obtained and refined from nature. Simply put, it\u2019s the same oil that is dug up from the ground and processed at a refinery for it to be usable.\n It is usually \nnot durable as no formulas are added to this type of oil. It is also sold at a cheaper price compared to other engine oils.\n\n\nSemi-Synthetic Engine Oil\n: This is a hybrid of synthetic base oil (less than 30 percent) and mineral base oil. This type of oil reaps the many benefits that fully synthetic oils give and is much more durable compared to mineral oil.\n\n\nFully Synthetic Engine Oil\n: This is produced from two components namely polyalphaolefins and esters. \nSynthetic oils are chemically engineered to be more stable at optimum temperatures and are able to gain higher mileage compared to mineral oils. Fully synthetic oils typically have additives that are designed to keep the oil cleaner for a longer period of time.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Viscosity Level\n\n\nWhen comparing engine oils, you might come across a code (a combination of numbers and letters) found on the packaging label. These codes refer to the viscosity level and durability measurements of the engine oil. In general, there are two numbers that determine the viscosity level of engine oil:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe first number ending in the letter \u2018W\u2019 refers to the flow of the oil in cold temperatures or when the engine is started.\n\n\nThe second number refers to the flow of the oil during normal operating temperature.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOils with low viscosity flow is easier to protect engine parts at cooler temperatures. Whereas those with high viscosity usually protect the engine better at higher temperatures. You can choose the right viscosity level for your car by referring to the car manual provided by your car manufacturer.\n\n\n5. Engine Oil Certification Standards\n\n\nYou will also find engine oil certification standards indicated using different acronyms such as API (American Petroleum Institute), ACEA (European Automobile Manufacturers Association), ILSAC (International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee), and JASO (Japanese Automotive Standards Organization). Certification standards from such organizations indicate that the product has met or exceeded the set requirements. Additionally, this certification standard is also one of the ways to ensure the performance and quality assurance of these engine oils.\n\n\n\n\nThe Price of Engine Oils in Malaysia\n\n\nBlack CASTROL Magnatec 10W-40 SN/CF Semi-Synthetic Engine Oil is suitable for cars from local brands such as the Perodua Myvi and Alza. This type of oil effectively protects the engine to last longer and ensures that the engine components do not rub against each other which might just damage it. It is formulated with synthetic technology to increase the protection of engines under any temperature and driving style. You can find this type of engine oil sold at a price between RM82 to RM142.\n\n\nMeanwhile, the Honda SN 0W-30 Engine Oil Full Synthetic oil is suitable for all types of Honda cars. The quality of this oil is approved by the Honda Research & Development (R&D) division in Japan and is effective in providing maximum engine protection. The price of this oil is between RM97 to RM140. You can refer to the full list of engine oil prices sold in the market \nhere\n.\n\n\n\n\nChange and Protect Your Engine with the Right Car Engine Oil\n\n\nThe general rule is to replace your car\u2019s engine oil at least every 5,000 kilometers or every six months to ensure the car\u2019s engine performance is at its best level.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nYou are advised to refer to the car manual or your service center regarding oil replacement especially if your car is still under warranty. Also, make sure the engine oil used is from a reputable and genuine brand.\n\n\nWith that, we hope with these tips, you can now identify if your car needs an oil change. Remember, maintaining your car is much more affordable than repairing it \u2013 so take care of your wheels!\u00a0\n\n\nRead Also\n: \nWeekly Petrol Price for RON95, RON97 & Diesel in Malaysia\n\n\nFor any other used car services and news, do check Carsome out!

A drivetrain may be something the average joe would not pay attention to. Nevertheless, the wide variety of drivetrains offered by manufacturers in the market all intends to serve their righteous purpose for the right driver. An average salary worker may need an economic Front-Wheel Drive car for their day-to-day commute; a petrolhead may choose an All-Wheel-Drive or Rear Wheel Drive for something fun to drive; a housewife or business owner would choose a 4\u00d74 for its heavy cargo and high passenger count. Before you buy the right car, let\u2019s learn what these drivetrains do and how to know which drivetrain is right for you. We will be breaking it down to help you out.\n\n\nFront-Wheel Drive (FWD) Drivetrain\n\n\n\n\nTo start off with drivetrains, let\u2019s begin with one of the most common drivetrains used by manufacturers. \nFront-Wheel Drive\n or FWD for short is a transversely-mounted engine located on the front of your vehicle. Power and torque are sent toward the front wheels of your car. Essentially, the FWD Drivetrain will be \u201cpulling\u201d your vehicle as you hit the throttle.\n\n\nFWD Drivetrain vehicles are popular among manufacturers due to the \nsimplicity\n and reliability of their construction. An FWD configuration allows the engine, transmission, and drivetrain to all be housed in one unit. In addition, FWD cars are lighter due to the absence of a driveshaft and rear differential which is crucial in contrast to other vehicle drivetrains out there. A lighter car will offer better fuel economy and minimal power loss due to the lack of a drivetrain. Hence, \nmost economy cars\n out there tend to be in FWD configuration.\n\n\nWhile there are plenty of benefits for FWD a common problem for this drivetrain is its front tires get bald easily due to where the torque exerts and sustains the vehicle\u2019s weight. On top of that, high-powered FWD cars in the Hatchback segment tend to suffer from \u201c\ntorque steer\n\u201d A torque steer in simple terms, is an occurrence in high-torque FWD cars where the steering gets yanked to left or right under high acceleration.\n\n\nPros\n\n\n\n\nMechanical simplicity for manufacturing and repair\n\n\nLighter in weight compared to other drivetrains\n\n\nImproved cabin space\u00a0\n\n\nBetter fuel economy\n\n\nBetter power output\n\n\n\n\nCons\n\n\n\n\nProne to understeer\n\n\nFront tires are prone to wear out quicker due to the vehicle and engine weight\u00a0\n\n\nOn high-powered FWD Hatchbacks, you may experience \u201cTorque Steer\u201d\n\n\n\n\nBrowse Here: \nFWD Honda of your Dreams!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAll-Wheel Drive (AWD) Drivetrain\n\n\n\n\nAn AWD system is a drivetrain that is capable of sending direct torque from the engine to all four wheels of the vehicle. Firstly, it\u2019s important to know that AWD Drivetrains are not the same as 4X4 which we will get to later. AWD Drivetrains rely on a computer to determine how much output each wheel exerts to accommodate the vehicle depending on the situation.\n\n\nSome vehicles offer AWD full-time like the iconic Subaru Impreza and \nNissan GTR\u2019s\n. On the other hand, some cars start off with Rear or Front Wheel Drive but can have an AWD mode switched on on-demand like the modern Mercedes Benz\u2019s \n4-Matic system\n and BMW\u2019s \nxDrive\n system.\n\n\nAWD Drivetrains offer numerous performance advantages other drivetrains cannot. Given that traction is distributed equally to all four wheels via a transfer case during acceleration, this makes the car incredibly grippy on wet and dry surfaces. AWD Drivetrains also \nreduce the chance of spinning\n out when exiting a corner at high speeds without oversteering themselves. In motorsports, it\u2019s common for AWD drivetrain vehicles to be the preferred choice for rallying and circuits.\n\n\nHowever, all these benefits do come at a cost. AWD Drivetrains are generally more expensive to produce and mechanically complex from the additional parts involved. For example, \nWapcar reports\n that a 2019 Mercedes Benz GLC 300 costs around RM 299,539, while the 4-Matic variant costs around RM 338,693, a whopping RM39k upgrade! Moreover, additional parts added to the car means more weight is added to the vehicle. AWD Drivetrains get bad gas mileage from a heavier ride and \nparasitic driveline loss\n. In simple terms, powering one pair of wheels uses less fuel and power compared to powering all four wheels.\n\n\nPros\n\n\n\n\nProvides excellent grip on wet and dry surfaces\n\n\nA great choice for motorsports and performance seekers\n\n\nAccelerates and launches faster compared to FWD and RWD\n\n\n\n\nCons\n\n\n\n\nAdditional parts make it complicated to produce and service\n\n\nCostlier due to additional parts installed\n\n\nBad fuel economy\n\n\n\n\nRead More: \nWhich is best for you? 2WD, AWD, or 4WD?\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n4\u00d74 (Four-by-four) Drivetrain\n\n\n\n\nNo, the answer is not 16. This is not a math question. Remember when we mentioned that AWD is not the same as 4\u00d74? Mechanically, \nthey work the same\n as AWD. However, 4x4s (a.k.a. 4WD) are designed to be used in heavy-duty trucks for the rigid off-roads. Like AWD, 4x4s send power to all four axle ends, but 4x4s lock the front and rear driveshafts together. This means the power sent to both axles is the same. This gives the vehicle extra traction when off-roading in conditions like mud, snow, and sand. Due to the lack of computers involved unlike AWD, the components for a 4\u00d74 tend to be simpler in design.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you have sat in a truck or an older SUV like the Mitsubishi Pajero, it tends to have a little button or a lever to activate its 4\u00d74 feature the moment the car hits the dirt. This does not mean 4\u00d74 can\u2019t be used \non the pavement\n! 4\u00d74 drivetrain offers the most torque and power out of all the drivetrains out there, hence it can haul heavier cargo than most cars.\u00a0\n\n\nPros\n\n\n\n\nImproves traction and grip during dangerous situations e.g. hill climbing, muddy roads, and hauling heavy cargo\n\n\nPerfect for offroading\n\n\n\n\nCons\n\n\n\n\nSimilarly to AWD, 4\u00d74 drivetrains are equally complex to produce and maintain.\n\n\nA powerful drivetrain for the 4\u00d74 means it also requires more fuel to power it, hence the horrible fuel consumption.\u00a0\n\n\n4\u00d74 drivetrains need \nlonger braking distances\n due to their high torque performance.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nRear Wheel Drive (RWD) Drivetrain\n\n\n\n\nRear Wheel Drive (RWD) drivetrain is the complete opposite of the FWD Drivetrain. If FWD \u201cpulls\u201d the car to go forward, then RWD \u201cpushes\u201d the car forward. RWD cars are powered by a front, longitude-mounted engine or mid and rear engine that sends its torque and power to the rear wheels through a driveline. Unlike FWD or AWD cars, the front wheels do not receive any power and are free to turn around as the driver pleases. RWD cars tend to have an excellent weight distribution than any other drivetrains due to their center balance of weight. Most sports cars, coupes, and sedans tend to have an RWD layout which makes them more fun to drive. In motorsports, RWD is a popular platform for drifting which can be made possible with this drivetrain.\u00a0\n\n\nRWD, however, isn\u2019t free from faults either. You may have seen plenty of news in North America that Ford Mustangs always crash into something. Ford Mustangs are torque, RWD cars. In the hands of a young and inexperienced driver, it\u2019s the perfect recipe for disaster. Additionally, RWDs are easily prone to oversteer in wet conditions, even more so for mid-engine, RWD cars like Porsches.\n\n\nRead More: \nSnap Oversteer Claims Another Victim!

AWD/4\u00d74 for trucks and performance. RWD cars if you\u2019re looking for something fun to drive or for the weekends. It pays off to research your car\u2019s drivetrain before buying it.\u00a0\n\n\nGood luck with your search.

At the base of this lies the choice of drivetrains \u2013 components that deliver power to the driving wheels. With letters and numbers coming together to form abbreviations like AWD, 2WD and 4WD, which of these are best suited for you? Don\u2019t worry as we explain these abbreviations in the most basic terms, the types available, benefits and drawbacks, and which will fit your needs.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nTwo-Wheel Drive (2WD)\n\n\n\n\nFrom top: Front-wheel drive (FWD) and Rear-wheel Drive (RWD).\n\n\nMost cars on the road are two-wheel driven. This is separated by front-wheel drive (FWD) and rear-wheel drive (RWD) options, denoting which side of the wheels are powered by the engine. The FWD set up is the most common with most passenger cars. It is commonly more economical to build and run, and provides better use of space compared to RWD cars. FWD options are also better in ascending hills and mountains as the engine\u2019s weight is placed up front.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe RWD set up on the other hand are more common in premium and performance vehicles. Generally, these cars handle better as the weight distribution is balanced more evenly between the front and rear. Additionally, because the front wheels do not have to do both driving and steering, the suspension can be tuned to enhance handling.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nFour-Wheel Drive (4WD)\n\n\nA Four-wheel Drive (4WD) set up.\n\n\nOften mistaken and used interchangeably with AWD, 4WD is normally reserved for vehicles that can handle rougher terrain, off-road driving and low-traction conditions. 4WD systems today are split into three main types \u2013 part-time, full-time and automatic modes.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nPart-time systems are mainly 2WD for road use until the driver requires the system to be in 4WD during severe off-road conditions. The driver is then needed to switch manually to the 4WD mode. Because of the way part-time systems are set up, it must be switched back to 2WD mode when on normal road conditions, as to prevent damage to the drivetrain.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nFull-time systems as the name suggests, always have the engine powering each wheel all the time. With this system, there is no risk to drivetrain damage as there is a centre differential to cope with the tyres rotating at different speeds during a turn.\n\n\nSome automatic 4WD systems can also be compared to AWD where power is sent to the non-primarily driven wheels when needed.\n\n\nAutomatic 4WD is a hybrid of the two, operating on 2WD until certain road conditions where the system will automatically switch the drive to 4WD mode. When it comes to fuel economy, the automatic and part-time systems do provide better mileage compared to the full-time system.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAll-Wheel Drive (AWD)\n\n\n\n\nThe main purpose of AWD vehicles is to provide the best traction possible on all weather conditions (rain, snow, mud, sand, etc) apart from off-road terrain. The most simplified explanation of AWD vehicles is that the engine can send power to the wheels which are not-primarily driven. This means FWD vehicles sending power to the rear when needed, and vice versa. However not all AWD systems are the same.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nA look inside Subaru\u2019s Symmetrical AWD system.\n\n\nAlthough most AWD systems are derived from 2WD drivetrains, there are others that do provide constant power that is split between the front and rear. The range in general includes systems that are predictive, on-demand, symmetrical, full time and more, available on most mass market manufacturers. Most importantly, most of them use software and sensors to detect wheel slip, activate traction control and react quicker to distribute engine torque to the wheels with more grip.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nWhich is best for you?\n\n\n\n\nThis all depends on your lifestyle and where you drive to daily. If you mostly drive to work and back, the simplicity of a 2WD either FWD or RWD will be sufficient for your commute. If you prefer heading off the beaten path but still want to be practical on the road, a part-time 4WD or AWD system should serve you well. As for thrilling adventure seekers, part-time 4WD still serves its purpose well, but if you want the ease and comfort of having a full-time 4WD system, the convenience will be well worth it.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nEven so, with Malaysia\u2019s tropical climate seeing rain and shine all year round, it is no surprise why local consumers are gearing towards an AWD SUV or 4WD pick-up truck as their next ride. One thing to remember is, despite having all these systems to help you during your drive, nothing is more important than having good tyres that are the only connection between your car and the road.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nClick here\n to find out more about Subaru\u2019s Symmetrical AWD system and what it can do!\n\n\nMitsubishi\u2019s Triton Quest is Malaysia\u2019s most affordable pick-up truck. \nClick here\n to find out more!\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nTrade-in your car for an SUV!

Chinese branded cars seem to appear out of nowhere and begin to sell like \nhotcakes in Malaysia\n ever since we entered the recovery phase of the pandemic. If you have been keeping up with the auto industry locally and internationally, China has been on a roll exporting quality cars that nowadays even rival European, Korean and Japanese-made ones. The Made-in-China jokes seem to age like milk as the quality of their vehicles is silencing naysayers worldwide. \n\n\nClockwise, from top left:\nChangan CS55, Land Rover Discovery Sport, Mclaren 570GT, KDC Regola\n\n\nHow and where did all these quality cars from China come from? A long time ago, the likes of BYD and the sorts were making \nknock-off branded cars\n.\n Back in 2006, Italy claimed their fourth World Cup title, news about our beloved crocodile hunter was impaled by a stingray shook the world and BYD was copying Mercedes, Ford, and Toyotas. Now? BYD Auto has become the \nlargest EV Company in China\n and has set its eyes on dethroning Tesla as the leading global brand for EVs. This begs the question, how did China EVs \nquickly take over the world\n?\n\n\nHumble Beginnings\u00a0\n\n\nThe early 2000s was like a fever dream. The Goth aesthetic was at an all-time high, spiky, bleached hair was popular and it was cool to play Limp Bizkit and My Chemical Romance. Cars from the 2000s, on the other hand, had a rough ride. America and Japan were recovering due to the 1998 Financial Crisis while the Koreans were steadily climbing up with cheap economy cars. Enter China, a sleeping giant that was slowly awakened by the flow of foreign currency into the country.\n\n\n\n\nWith a massive population, cheap currency, and labor, it logically drew American and European capitalists to it like a moth to the flame. China soon experienced a huge economic boom from the number of business opportunities as the West opened up to them. Everyone and I mean everyone, down to their parents and grandparents became rich. So what do you do when everyone gets rich? You buy something luxurious to compensate.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nAC Vs DC Charging: How to Charge Your EV in Malaysia\n\n\nThe Strategy\n\n\nTo set up the stage, China has a huge import tariff on Continental Cars with a rate of \n25% \nthroughout the country. Even when you are rich, a lot of buyers would hesitate here to pay a hefty sum in the form of taxes. So, what do you do when the demand for a luxurious item is at an all-time high but you refuse or could not afford to pay the price for it? Enter the market of copycat cars.\u00a0\n\n\nWhy Copy at first?\n\n\nIf you don\u2019t appreciate me at my worst\u2026..\n\n\nChina\u2019s car industry isn\u2019t that old. However, in a mere 10-20 years, they went from a joke to a global player. It\u2019s easy to criticize China for \ncopying designs\n and features in their early days but bear in mind, many well-established brands have a copycat past before being able to hold off on their own. Imitation is a form of flattery, as they say. Another kicker for the trend of copycat cars making waves in China is that their policymakers wanted to ensure that the Mainland Chinese people stick to domestically produced cars as a form of patriotic support to the Communist Party.\n\n\nYou don\u2019t deserve me at my best.\n\n\nFurthermore, there is an advantage in producing copycat cars. Why create something new when you have the capability to blatantly copy and produce cars from other brands with no repercussions? Many brands have tried and failed to sue Chinese Car Manufacturers on copyright claims due to \nloopholes in China\u2019s laws\n. Although the practice is uncommon now in today\u2019s market, copying the designs of other brands is how the Chinese Auto Industry got its head start.\n\n\n10 \u2013 20 Years Head Start\n\n\nWhile the Polestar 1 is not an EV, its quality and performance made it popular in the automotive industry.\n\n\nWhen the rest of the world was focused on producing petrol cars and toying with hybrid engines, China was already setting its eyes on \nelectric cars\n after a few years of unsuccessfully dabbling into the petrol-engine market. In addition, the transition from petrol engines to electric simply made sense during the time \u2013 why break your back building a car that has to adhere to strict global exhaust emissions and safety standards when you can build one that only requires one aspect in mind?\u00a0\n\n\nThe perception of Made-in-China products is not going to help boost its image either. China knew their cars would flop if they decided to go toe-to-toe with already established Continental, American, Japanese and Korean brands in the international market. Why attempt to level the playing field when you can create \none on your own\n? \n\n\n\n\nIn retrospect, China had the perfect playground for the research and development of the platform \u2013 they are the global leader in battery production, has a high population in need of transport, and have a monopoly of the \ncobalt mines in Africa\n that is prized as a key component in rechargeable batteries. In a span of 20 years, China\u2019s auto industry has advanced so fast just like how humanity has advanced from the first manned flight to the moon landing in 60 years. Only recently did European and American manufacturers have started to catch up during the pandemic but even then, is it too late for the West to keep up?\u00a0\n\n\nThere is another strategy from a manufacturer\u2019s point of view to win consumers\u2019 hearts \u2013 pricing their products cheaper than their competitors.\n\n\nPricing is Lower than Western and European Competitors\n\n\nSource: paultan.org\n\n\nAnother redeeming factor that made Chinese-made cars popular among the crowd is their ability to deliver a quality product with less than half the price tag of their competitors. If you have been keeping up with the news about China EVs in the market, they received nothing but praise in terms of the build quality and design. Even staunch Made-in-China naysayers are swallowing their words once they have driven it. Furthermore, the new generation of consumers, especially Gen Zs, don\u2019t care about brands anymore, they care whether the solution offered will \nsolve their problem effectively\n.\n EVs from China too perfectly understood this and decided to undercut their competitors.\n\n\n\n\nTake the current model from BYD for example, the BYD Seal that was launched here last year is expected to go for under RM200,000 when it hits Malaysian Shores. While Teslas are not officially sold in Malaysia, a quick research on Google shows recond car dealers are listing them for RM250-300k. If you\u2019re just looking for a set of wheels to get you around from A-Z while being environmentally conscious, which one would you go for?\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nWill Electric Self-Driving Cars Be Feasible in Malaysia?\n\n\nLong-Term Growth for EVs Around the World\n\n\nSource: Wapcar\n\n\nTo push the growth and adoption of EVs around the world, government entities have offered frameworks, and policies to assist the growth of EVs domestically. Since 2009, the Chinese government has invested 100 billion RMB (RM64,624,237,850.00) \ninto subsidies\n for regular buyers. China also offers driving and purchasing incentives for buyers of EVs in lieu of the new\n \nEU Climate Change\n plans to phase out fossil fuels by 2035.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIn Malaysia as of January 2022, EVs sold in Malaysia are exempted from tax by the government with hopes to entice foreign-branded EVs to be assembled here and have a thriving industry. Across the ocean, \nFrance pays you handsomely\n \nif you send your petrol/diesel engine car for scrap for an electric one. Country after country is witnessing the \nplanned obsolescence\n of the internal combustion engine to combat climate change.

But remember when we mentioned how Gen-Zs don\u2019t look at brands but rather, the product nowadays? China EVs have figured out how to capitalize on that. Their strategy involves delivering a good product and relying on \nword of mouth\n to capture the hearts of young buyers; old buyers are not their main target market.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn top of that, China EVs are revamping how \nregular buyers buy their products\n. \nNIO, another China EV\n brand, aims to redesign the buyer experience. They don\u2019t call their dealership outlets showrooms anymore; NIO calls them Clubhouses. NIO intends to build a community of like-minded people who are interested in the same product and offer to sell merchandise to them. That\u2019s how they get the sales flowing. Chinese EV manufacturers also strive to provide a holistic user experience rather than simply selling a product. Now through the internet and social media, China EV brands aim to cover all the pain points of the consumer\u2019s journey and build a brand community.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nWould you be looking forward to buying a China EV in the future? The number of\u00a0 Chinese EVs in the Malaysian market can potentially be huge and soon, a household name just like BYD in China. Will the quality and prices of China EVs in Malaysia shake off the Made-in-China perception that people always associate with when it comes to quality?

Toyota has always had a reputable record for offering reliability and durability\u2014regardless whether you choose a new or an used Toyota.\n\n\n \n\n\nNew or used?\n\n\nThis age-old question narrows down to this: understanding your financial capability, and choosing a quality-assured car for the long haul.\n\n\nImagine you want to buy a new car that costs roughly RM80,000 and you earn about RM100,000 a year. Ideally, you need to put at most a down payment of RM20,000 (~20% of the cost) and take up a five year loan to repay the rest. You\u2019d have to spend no more than RM1,500 a month (which should be about 20% of your salary) on expenses for it.\u00a0\n\n\nNow, this should be a realistic and comfortable scenario for you and your wallet \u2013 but that\u2019s not always the case. Incomes and spending can fluctuate, so it\u2019s always best to keep commitments the lowest possible. A RM1,500 commitment might seem okay in the beginning, and sure you can opt not to have your 15 cups of cappuccinos anymore. But remember: you have to pay that amount on a monthly-basis for the next five years.\u00a0\n\n\nThis is where the solution of buying used cars come in.\n\n\nUsed Cars Plus Points\n\n\nUsed cars offer you the option of an attractive and more affordable price point, which means a more relieved and happier wallet. \n\n\n\n\nJust take a look at this scenario:\n\n\nThe same Toyota model you\u2019re eyeing has reduced in value and depreciated over, let\u2019s say, three years. The used car then becomes approximately 30% cheaper, making it RM56,000. That\u2019s more than RM20,000 in savings, and reduces your monthly repayment to RM1,000 if you still go for a five year loan to finance the purchase. Or you can even shorten the timeline.\n\n\nBuying a used car also gives lower car insurance rates as well as registry renewals. And if you\u2019ve saved a lot on your overall value with your used car, you can even consider moving up to a higher class.\u00a0\n\n\nThe result: You get to own and drive that amazing Toyota you want, while also doing the things you love.

Let\u2019s face it. The only way for station wagons to survive is if \nthey look like SUVs\n. For example, the US Market 2023 Subaru Outback outsold the 2022 Mercedes Benz E-Class E450 All-Terrain Wagon by 181,178 units compared to the German Estate that only had 8000 units to boot. Over in Europe and the UK, station wagons that were once popular are \nhanging by a thread\n. \nAutomotive Europe News reports\n that wagons are slowly phasing out by manufacturers in favor of Sedans and SUVs due to declining sales.\n\n\nThe sales of station wagons barely even exist as a footnote in Malaysia; a bygone segment dying in the country. As more SUVs and Sedans begin to dominate the road, this begets the question: Why aren\u2019t wagons popular in Malaysia?\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nStation Wagons Sell in the U.S. Mainly When They\u2019re Disguised as SUVs\n\n\nRead More: \nWagons Forecasted to Struggle in Sales\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSocial Stigma Towards Station Wagons\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSource: Nirvana Malaysia\n\n\nFuneral hearses started off as a simple need to transport the deceased from the parlor to the graveyard. Over time, people started off adding more decorations to the horse carriage to send off a loved one as lavishly as possible before phasing out motor carriages. In the United States, Cadillacs, Mercedes, Rolls Royce, Jaguar or any luxury brand you can think of have been converted into luxurious hearses to send off a loved one.\n\n\nWait, this is an article about station wagons, why are we talking about funeral hearses? Well, station wagons are a preferred choice by funeral parlors to be modified into hearses. This, in turn, has shaped the entire segment to be a cultural taboo in some countries. In Malaysia, lavish funerals are also held to show how much love and respect the living had for the deceased just like the rest of the world.\u00a0\n\n\nIn Malaysia, our vehicle options are limited. If anyone grew up in the early 2000s, it\u2019s uncommon to find old Mercedes Benz Wagons, or Estate as they are officially called, to be used as a hearse. I recall when I first laid my eyes on a Mercedes Benz W124 Estate parked at a roadside, I got reprimanded by my parents for paying any attention to a car that is only used for funerals.\u00a0\n\n\nIn the olden days, the very few times you see a station wagon used is for funerals. Growing up in a mainly Mandarin-speaking community, station wagons became synonymous with funerals and death. Let\u2019s face it, older wagons do look like coffins. From the boxy W124 Estate to a battered Toyota Corolla KE70 Wagon. That, however, did not stop them from becoming cult classics among car enthusiasts worldwide.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nShinzo Abe\u2019s Hearse Is A Reminder That Toyota Can Make An Impressive Last Ride\n\n\nWatch Here: \nThe History of Funeral Hearses\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Appraisal Value Used of Station Wagons\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor sake of simplicity and readability, I\u2019ll only be referring to the prices of Station Wagons in Malaysia. As of today, there are only four types of wagons that you can get a brand new from a Malaysian dealership as of 2022. These models include the Mini Cooper Clubman, Subaru Outback, Mazda 6 Wagon, and Volvo V60. Yes, only four models. For a Malaysian car enthusiast, that is depressing. You could, however, opt for gray and recond imports for models not available to the local market albeit for a hefty cost and tedious process.\n\n\nRead More: \nWagons for Available for Sale in Malaysia\n\n\nHere\u2019s where things take a weird turn. There \nare\n genuine buyers in Malaysia looking for station wagons; but they\u2019ll only buy them second-hand, sometimes for an even higher price. Some wagons are able to retain a higher appraisal value than their sedan counterparts in the used market. Take a pre-owned Mercedes Benz CLS63 AMG for example. A lengthy search led me to find two rare listings; one in sedan and one in wagon model. The sedan has a price tag of RM255,500 while the station wagon is going for RM380,000.\u00a0\n\n\nEven as a cheap beater, the Toyota Corolla KE70 model isn\u2019t spared from this fate either. A used, unmodified sedan can go for around RM8,000 \u2013 RM12,000. On the other hand, the Station Wagon variant can go for RM15,000! Station Wagon isn\u2019t used for family-oriented business anymore, rather they serve as gratification for car enthusiasts who seek out the extraordinary.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCompetition with SUVs and Vans\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrior to the arrival of SUVs, station wagons were indeed once popular. They were the go-to models for small families in suburban environments. However, as time goes by, the once jungle-ready 4\u00d74 vehicles have evolved into modern SUVs as we know them today. Modern SUVs have a higher ground clearance and sometimes bigger boot space to suit all the needs of a family-oriented buyer.\u00a0\n\n\nPerformance-wise, you can expect it to perform just like how a sedan handles. Take the Mazda 6 Grand Tourer and the Mazda CX-5 for example. While the CX-5 has a smaller interior to boot, it has a higher elevated view for the driver and a much more rugged chassis to protect occupants than the Grand Tourer. One cannot deny that the Mazda CX-5 fetches a better bargain here in spite of having similar engine and safety features.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nUsed Mazda CX-5 Buying Guide\n\n\nIn spite of its good handling, excellent fuel economy, and boot space compared to an SUV, it still falls short of the competition. Furthermore, when set against the likes of Minivans, MPV, and Vans, it\u2019s hard for an expensive Station Wagon to find a foothold in the market.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLack of proper marketing for Wagons\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnother contributing factor to the popularity of wagons is the lack of marketing and publicity for the segment. It\u2019s no doubt auto manufacturers had done their best to market the wagon but a station wagon still cannot find the right position in the public eye. A sedan, SUV, or a Coupe is seen as a luxury vice.\n\n\nSource: Desiinger- Panda\n\n\nWhen was the last time we saw station wagons being featured in entertainment media today? Well, except for Stranger Things which has plenty of wagons in the background, there is no spotlight for these family-oriented wagons. Have you seen a rapper talking about owning an Audi RS4 or a Volvo Estate in their music videos? Nope, they prefer SUVs too. An Audi Q7 seems to have more spotlight than its wagon counterparts. Heck, we even had a whole song dedicated to the BMW X6 itself!\u00a0\n\n\nProduct placement in entertainment has been an\n effective marketing tactic\n proven to drive sales of certain products. From the eponymous Yellow Camaro in Transformers, which every kid on the block calls Bumblebee, to the titular AE86 that delivered tofu up the mountains that kickstarted a whole culture among car enthusiasts that drove up the resale value. So, what about wagons? Aside from minor or background roles, station wagons aren\u2019t really well positioned to be cool enough in pop culture. Perhaps if a cheap KE70 Toyota Corolla Wagon starred in the next Fast and Furious installment, we may see its prices skyrocket due to demand.\u00a0\n\n\nIf you are keen on selling your station wagon to \nCARSOME\n, contact us today! \nCARSOME\n guarantees trust and transparency toward our customers and we offer the best value for used cars.

Stringent and tighter emission laws in developed countries in the West and Europe are slowly forcing their way, pressuring auto manufacturers to either go hybrid or fully electric on their vehicles. Eventually, pure petrol-powered cars might soon be phased out or only available to the super-rich in the form of super and hypercars. We might not see more pops and bangs made by sports cars in the future.\u00a0\n\n\nFor the common masses, we only have two choices \u2013 Hybrid or Electric. But what if there is a small community that wants to keep petrol-powered cars alive while having auto manufacturers\u00a0\ncomply with strict emission regulations? This is where Hybrid Cars and Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (P-HEV) cars come in to fill the gap. But first, we need to understand why pure petrol-powered cars may be phased out in the future.\u00a0\n\n\nStrict and Harsher Regulations on Emissions Output by Petrol Engines\n\n\nLast year, the \nEuropean Parliament\n voted to ban the sale of new petrol-powered vehicles by 2035 with the aim of reducing carbon emissions to combat climate change. The continent also aims to achieve \ncarbon neutrality\n by 2050. Over in the United Kingdom, the country has decided to pull the deadline for the sale of petrol cars by 2030 while hybrid cars get a five-year extension. Across the ocean to the largest auto industry in the world, China has no plans as of to date but one province, \nHainan Island\n plans to follow suit with a deadline of 2030 and we can expect the country to eventually follow up.\u00a0\n\n\nWith all these regulations in play, the future of pure petrol-powered cars seems bleak. Hybrid cars and Plug-in Hybrid Engine Vehicles (PHEV) were once the solutions back then as fully electric vehicles were not ready to be commercialized yet. However, one still cannot deny hybrid cars and PHEVs still have \nsome form of tailpipe emission\n due to the usage of fossil fuels. Some \ncar brands\n have plans to phase out petrol-powered cars. Volvo pledges to go \nfully electric\n by 2030, and Volkswagen will stop selling \nfossil-fuel-powered vehicles\n by 2026. What about other auto manufacturers? Will they be phasing out hybrid cars in favor of electric ones to follow suit? Only time will tell.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMgxmSnuS4Y\n\n\nSurprise, Surprise. PHEV and Hybrid Cars Are Not As Environmentally Friendly As We Think They Are.\u00a0\n\n\nThe goal of having a close-to-zero-emission future may soon be a reality. There was a time when the poor rode horses and the rich owned motor carriages. Now, the poor own a car to get stuck in traffic while the bourgeois rich own horses for playing polo. EVs and hybrid cars are expensive toys for the rich too but given enough time, auto manufacturers will begin to introduce affordable EVs and hybrid cars for the masses to comply with strict laws on greenhouse emissions around the world. While EVs get special protection, hybrid cars, which were once the middle-ground solution for petrol cars and early electric cars, are not as eco-friendly as we think they are.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GXYCUMe9N4\n\n\nEVs are going to dominate the streets, while PHEVs and hybrid cars are still closely monitored for their greenhouse emissions despite running much cleaner than pure petrol-powered cars. According to \nBBC News\n, a PHEV car produces an average of 28 tons of CO2, while a hybrid car would emit an average of 33 tons. In comparison, an average petrol and diesel car are estimated to produce somewhere between 30 and 41 tons of CO2 from fossil fuel combustion during its lifetime. For a zero-emission future, PHEVs and hybrid cars might just get the axe too, as \nvarious legislations in Europe\n still allow PHEVs and hybrid cars to be sold in the country past 2035. If hybrid cars too are caught up in the ban, will this be the last time we might see hybrid cars offered in the market?\n\n\nRead More: \nHybrid or Petrol? Make Your Choice with This Quick Guide\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G67i_Z8ukD4\n\n\nWould People Bounce Back to PHEV and Hybrids?\u00a0\n\n\nThe competition between PHEVs and hybrid cars versus EVs is a tough battle. However, there might be a glimmer of hope where petrol-powered PHEVs and hybrids can shine in the auto industry. For this quick benchmark, let\u2019s take the Hyundai Kona for example as it is being offered both Hybrid and Electric in Malaysia.\n\n\nPrices for the hybrid model start at \nRM124,800\n while the EV model starts at \nRM156,538\n. With a close to RM32,000 difference, first-time buyers in Malaysia would prefer to opt for the hybrid car rather than the electric one due to familiarity with its use. In addition, while the electric model may be cheaper to refill and recharge at (39.2kWh) = RM25.96 as \nCarput\n reports, it\u2019s the recharging times that will put most potential customers off. Officially, Hyundai claims fast charging \u2013 with a 100kW DC charging station requires approximately 47 minutes from 10% to 80% state of charge (SOC). The hybrid variant? Just a few minutes at the petrol pump.\u00a0\n\n\nOnto maintenance, there is not much on the internet that allows us to compare the maintenance cost of both models but we have a rough estimate on the wheels. Electric vehicles tend to have 19\u2019 to 21\u2019 diameter tires. Furthermore, these tires are special because they mostly run on run-flat tires. \nAccording to DSF\n, one is expected to fork out RM8,000 on average for one set! The Hyundai Kona aside, a Tesla is not \ncheap to repair\n either. Sources state that a replacement battery for a Tesla would set you aside \naround RM95,000\n. A hybrid car would arguably go for much less in comparison.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nHybrid Cars in Malaysia: Here\u2019s Everything You Need to Know\n\n\nWhat About Malaysia? Would Malaysia Phase Out Petrol Engines One Day?\n\n\nAs of to date, there is no news about Malaysia planning to phase out petrol engines yet. But some efforts have been made to reduce our carbon footprint on our environment. As of to date, Malaysia strictly follows Euro 4 standards when it comes to fuel emissions, \nPetronas\n and our \ngovernment\n have pledged to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2050, and according to the \nUnited Nations Development Programme\u2019s\n (UNDP) Climate Promise, Malaysia agrees to reduce carbon intensity against our country\u2019s GDP by 45% by 2030.\u00a0\n\n\nFor the newer cars that are to be released in the country, it\u2019s safe to say post-2030, there will be \nno pure petrol-powered cars\n sold brand new at dealerships anymore due to the auto industry shifting towards PHEVs, hybrid cars, and EVs as their golden goose. A fully electrical future is not far off the table.\u00a0\n\n\nCloser to home, \nPerodua plans\n to make a hybrid car by 2025 and a fully electric one by 2030, and just recently, \nProton announced\n that the brand aims to introduce hybrid vehicles and an EV brand of their own by 2027. Furthermore, the national carmaker has an outline to industrialize Malaysia as a manufacturing hub for right-hand drive-oriented EVs.\u00a0\n\n\nThe Future is Electric. But Are We Ready For It?\n\n\nThe answer is both \nyes and no\n. On one hand, the government\u2019s commitment to reducing carbon emissions and moving towards sustainable transportation is commendable. The adoption of EVs would help the country reduce its carbon footprint, provide a cleaner and more efficient mode of transportation and boost the local economy with locally assembled Complete Knockdown (CKD) EVs.\n\n\nOn the other hand, the infrastructure and support system required to make the transition to EVs successful are still lacking in Malaysia. Charging stations are only available in developed cities. Rural areas are not so fortunate unless a home charger is installed at home. It would take time before Malaysians can fully embrace an electrical future.\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWhY5yaeGMs\n\n\nWould you be buying a PHEV, hybrid car, or EV, or still sticking to ICE engines?

Think of car mechanics, car dealers, even the technicians that carry out vehicle inspections \u2013 you would automatically picture a man.\n\n\nYet \nhalf of all licensed drivers on the road in Malaysia are female\n. As gender equality is increasingly becoming a norm, \nmore women are also joining the automotive sector workforce\n as mechanics, dealers, and inspectors.\n\n\nToday, we have 30% representation of women in Carsome HQ (Malaysia), 15% in Indonesia and 51% in Thailand.

Today, our female colleagues contribute close to 30% of the total workforce in Carsome as compared to 20% of the industry. We have adopted best practices to use inclusive and sustainable language to appeal to a more diverse talent base, and to bring more women into the talent funnel. We\u2019ve set a very strong tone at the top that the company supports the career development of Carsomers, male or female. My recent appointment and promotion is an example of that.\n\n\nBut we need to do more. We need to listen more to the struggles and challenges from conscious to unconscious bias in our workplace. My message to everyone today is change takes time, but change is compounding.

The opportunity or treatment given to me is equal to others. It\u2019s surprising how some customers react initially when they know I will be assisting them throughout the whole process of buying a car at Carsome, but over time, they feel confident with me and my ability to assist them. I try to build a relationship with my customers by being honest and transparent, so they will trust me in my advice and recommendations. Ultimately, I want them to feel comfortable and happy to deal with me.\n\n\nFatin Farhanah Binti Mohd Rizal Yeow, Carsome Consultant\n\n\n\n\nTo be honest, I never once imagined I could join the automotive industry or sell cars because I was not really into cars and knew nothing about the process. Initially, I applied as a receptionist, but I was given an opportunity to be on the team as a Carsome Consultant. At first, I was worried that I couldn\u2019t do well when I first started because I was the only female consultant at Carsome Setiawangsa. But my team was very supportive and taught me a lot of skills. They treated me equally with no double standards, and I gained so much knowledge. From zero experience in the first month, I am now given the trust and responsibility to lead seven other male consultants in Carsome Juru Autocity Penang. Now I can even change a car battery by myself!\n\n\nAnna Kim Bo Kyung, \nRegional Head of Creative Labs, Experiential and Partnerships\n\n\n\n\nWhen I joined Carsome, it was more than just looking at it as an automotive business as I believed in how this is a service that will change the way of buying and selling pre-owned cars. It was the thinking behind it all that intrigued me. The only tough time I had was when a lot of people around me told me that I won\u2019t make it far because it\u2019s a male-dominated industry. But what we do here is a service that benefits everyone and I felt that instantly when I started working here. I feel that Carsome\u2019s transparency and the open-door policy that has been nurtured as a culture gave me the support to keep moving forward, knowing that the response would always be to find a solution together. Most importantly, my colleagues regardless of gender have been my biggest support to do better.\n\n\nCelebrating Women to Drive Change\n\n\nAt Carsome, our vision to drive Southeast Asia\u2019s automotive industry forward in the used car ecosystem cannot be done without the support and expertise of everyone in the team regardless of gender. Thus, our goal of building an inclusive workplace is also part of our commitment to empower women to drive change in the automotive industry.\n\n\nHappy International Women\u2019s Day, from all of us at Carsome!\n\n", "Devan S\nDevan believes written content is here to stay despite our depleting attention span and the rise of short videos.

To ensure you have a smooth ride back home, this simple checklist is just in case you\u2019ve forgotten something! The basics for your vehicle in tyres, fluids and more. Bookmark and check back for up updates as we also will let you know the places to stop for a coffee at the petrol stations.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nTyres\n\n\n\n\nYour tyres are the most important aspect of the vehicle you simply cannot ignore. They are the only contact you have with the road. Without enough grooves, grip and properly inflated tyres, you run the chance of losing traction and things could get ugly. It is a pretty common sight to witness under-inflated tyres on the road \u2013 the main cause for higher fuel consumption due to the increased rolling resistance.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCredit: \nPakWheels\n\n\nRemember to check air pressure of the tyres, and respect load capacity. Cramming everyone and everything together on this \u2018Balik Kampung\u2019 trip but tyres loaded beyond their maximum loads can build up excessive heat that could result in sudden bursts. Your brakes won\u2019t work as effectively, and maneuvering from sudden emergencies could spin your vehicle out of proper control. We certainly do not wish for that to happen. Also ensure that you have the tools to change your tyres should there be a flat, and have your spare tyre inflated too!\n\n\nOh yes, don\u2019t forget about your brakes as well. You need them to stop the car at the shortest possible time during an emergency.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nEngine Oil and Other Fluids\n\n\n\n\nThere is a reason why car brands offer up their services before the long Raya journey. Ensuring that your vehicle is serviced with new fluids including engine oil, transmission, power steering, brakes and washers. Make sure that oil levels are at an optimum via the dip stick or through your car\u2019s onboard computer. To save the trouble, bringing your car to a service centre and let them do the job for you. Not too hard is it?\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nCredit: \nturbomad.com\n\n\nAlso, make sure to check and service your radiator and to top it up with actual coolant, and try not to use tap water. That being said, it would be wise to keep at least two 1.5-litre bottles of distilled water to refill the radiator in the event that it overheats.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nHeadlamps & Signal \n\n\nCredit: \nGiphy\n\n\nSee that stalk coming out of your steering column? One of them represents the car\u2019s indicator. Depending on the layout, it\u2019s either up for right and down for left. Also check your head and tail lamps and make sure they are in working order before you go on that long road trip. That\u2019s for night driving when you need visibility to see ahead. If your lamp units are clouded, you could use toothpaste to clean them out or send it to a detailer to get them looking brand new.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nGadgets to Keep You on Track\n\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s modern times! Maps are digital now, and in our mobile phones! Whether you use Garmin, TomTom, Waze or Google Maps, ensure that your devices are charged! This ensures that you know where you\u2019re heading when it comes to rerouting to B-roads or to avoid the crazy traffic. Don\u2019t forget to carry along power banks and phone cable to charge your phones along the way.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nFood and Snacks \n\n\nCredit: \nFeed Them Wisely\n\n\nBe sure to stock up on snacks, finger food and drinking water. It\u2019s not a must to prepare your own food but do remember that you could be stuck in a jam that lasts hours. At the same time, you enjoy the luxury and flexibility of eating whenever you want and save the cost of buying from rest stops as well.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nBe Ready for an Emergency\n\n\n\n\nYou never know when you would encounter an emergency on the road, knock on wood. It\u2019s never be too late to be prepared for the inevitable. Make sure you have a first aid kit, basic emergency tools, road assistance numbers ready with you.\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nChecklist for Family\n\n\n\n\nMusic makes the world go round! Entertainment not only for yourself, but your children at the back seat as well! Make sure they\u2019re occupied so the drive won\u2019t be too long.

But, don\u2019t let that stop you from making this celebration a memorable one. We\u2019ve come up with a fun and exciting list of cars that would best fit your Chinese Zodiac which might help make your CNY a fulfilling one this year.\n\n\n\n\nA little fact \u2013 The Chinese zodiac is a big part of Chinese culture, and their signs have been used for over 2000 years as a way of calculating years in a 12-year cycle of the Chinese calendar. These animals play a huge role in Chinese stories and folklore and have different personality traits. It\u2019s such an important factor that many people dictate their choices and plans based on the predictions and superstitions described in the Chinese Zodiac.\n\n\nSo, based on these animals\u2019 personality and traits, here is the list of cars that would suit your zodiac sign.\n\n\nCars Based on Your Zodiac\n\n\nThe Ox\n\n\n\n\nKind, stubborn, patient, and conservative. The Ox is huge in size but is also known to be a good leader with a strong devotion to work. It is also one of the most straightforward animals compared to all the others. A perfect midsize pickup like the Nissan Frontier is perfect to represent the Ox. Nissan Frontier has led the pickup industry thanks to its affordable pricing, quality, and reliability. This truck is built to last with components that are proven to work for a long time. Though it has not seen a facelift in some time, this truck has all the essential features that you will want in a truck. This 4WD that is perfect for seasonal road conditions is as reliable as it can get. You do not need a car to be the best, but you need a car to do what you want it to do. The Nissan Frontier is exactly that, though it might not be the best, it\u2019s reliable enough to do what you want.\n\n\nThe Rat\n\n\n\n\nQuick-witted, charming, smart, and persuasive. This animal is adaptable and popular in social circles and also can make the most out of bad situations. The perfect car that should represent the Rat is the Perodua Myvi. The Perodua Myvi is Malaysia\u2019s best selling car. Nearly every household owns at least one Myvi and everyone in Malaysia (with a driver\u2019s license) would have driven one. Ever since its launch in 2005, the Perodua Myvi has evolved and adapted to the needs of many. The third generation Myvi features a cabin with ample space, Advanced Safety Assist System, 6 Airbags, Vehicle Stability Control, Front Corner Senses among many others. Not forgetting the affordability of this car, it does not come as a surprise that the Myvi is the perfect representation of the Rat.\n\n\nThe Tiger\n\n\n\n\nAuthoritative, emotional, courageous, and intense. Tigers are often very independent and powerful, winning over the trust of others easily. Tigers are also known to think highly of their own accomplishments. A supercar like the Audi R8 is befitting of the Tiger. Three words that best describe the Audi R8 is sharp, fast, and exotic. This supercar stands out from the rest because it can also be used as an everyday car. Most supercars are built for everyday usage, but that is not the case for the Audi R8 thanks to its V10 engine and the slick 7-speed S tronic gearbox. From the outside, this car is just beautiful. The R8 features a more aggressive front grille that is very fitting for such a powerful supercar. No matter where you drive it, it will surely get the attention it deserves.\n\n\nThe Rabbit\n\n\n\n\nPopular, compassionate, and sincere. The Rabbit represents tenderness and grace, avoiding confrontation and it would rather make friends than enemies. Rabbits work quickly, efficiently, and do not anger easily. A subcompact sedan like the Toyota Yaris best represents this animal. The Toyota Yaris is the perfect combination of everyday use and excitement. This 5-seater vehicle is powered by a pintsized engine that provides excellent fuel efficiency, and the nimble chassis makes this car look and feel sportier. This car also features a low-speed pre-collision system that \nmonitors the road directly in front of you to help prevent a collision with another vehicle. While only active at low speeds, this system provides an audio/visual alert and braking assistance when it detects a potential collision. Just like the rabbit, this car is one of the most popular sedans among the younger generations.\u00a0\n\n\nThe Dragon\n\n\n\n\nEnergetic, fearless, warm-hearted, and charismatic. Dragons appreciate a challenge and hate hypocrisy and gossip. These animals are generally excitable, intellectual, and very lively. They also have strict morals and can easily tell right from wrong. The perfect type of car that would suitably suit a dragon is a crossover like the Honda BR-V. This car is Honda\u2019s very first seven-seater crossover that stands for Bold Runabout-Vehicle. It is powered by a 1.5 litre i-VTEC engine and is available in two variants. This car offers a safe, economic, and versatile vehicle that is perfect for growing families and individuals who prefer driving big, powerful, dragon like cars.\n\n\nThe Snake\n\n\n\n\nCharming, introverted, generous, and smart. Despite most thinking that the snake is deceiving, it is also a symbol of wisdom and wit. The Snake is humorous, and also gifted with creativity. A MPV like the Toyota Avanza would be the perfect representation of this animal. Since it represents the snake, this MPV is generous in a way that it is able to accommodate up to 7 people inside. This car is powered by either a 1.3L VVT-i engine, with the 5-speed manual transmission as its only option, or a 1.5L VVT-i engine, which is paired to a conventional 4-speed automatic transmission. This car is also known for its fuel efficiency and advanced safety features.\n\n\nThe Horse\n\n\n\n\nEnergetic, independent, impatient, and enjoy traveling. The Horse is usually warm-hearted and easy-going. They also usually have a lot of friends and take on difficulties head-on with a positive attitude.A GT car like the Mercedes Benz S Class Coupe is the perfect representation of the horse. This car combines comfort, style, and performance to create a swift, opulent driving experience. This car leads the way with innovative OLED taillights and glides along perfectly with the intelligent AIRMATIC suspension. The sporty elegance of this car adds the finishing touch to this modern luxury.\n\n\nThe Sheep\n \n\n\n\n\nMild-mannered, shy, kind, and peace-loving. They also have a fondness for quiet living. Being gentle, wide, and compassionate are key traits of the Sheep. They are willing to take good care of others and are economical in their daily lives. A subcompact hatchback like the Kia Rio would definitely make the sheep proud. Kia Rio takes simplicity to a whole new level with their smart layout and pleasing materials yet, it does not affect the performance of the car. Where it lacks in space, it makes up in the infotainment system by offering both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This car is made for those who are not into the added extras but would just like a mode of transportation that can take them from point A to point B safely.\n\n\nThe Monkey\n\n\n\n\nFun, energetic, and active. Monkeys are usually intelligent in their career and wealth. They also possess a degree of flexibility and are full of life. They usually enjoy their success and sometimes look down upon others. A two-seater sports car like the Mercedes Benz SLC would make the Monkey proud. This two-seat convertible is the best combo of a luxury car and a sports car. It delivers a controlled ride, strong engine range, world-class cabin materials and is powered by a 241-horsepower turbo-four that delivers surprisingly strong fuel economy.\n\n\nThe Rooster\n\n\n\n\nIndependent, practical, hard-working, and observant. Roosters are known to be honest, communicative, and ambitious. They are also regarded to be born pretty or handsome and prefer to dress up. A midsize sedan like the Honda City embodies the Rooster completely.\n \nThe Honda City is Malaysia\u2019s most popular used sedans thanks to its dynamic interior goodies and the strong performance from its 1.5L engine. The most popular variant is surely the City RS e: HEV that is manufactured with a hybrid engine with a fuel consumption of around 3.77L/100km, Honda SENSING safety features and with a sportier exterior and interior design.\n \nThis car is also popular among the younger generation because of its fine, handsome build.\n\n\nThe Dog\n\n\n\n\nPatient, diligent, generous, faithful, and kind. The Dog is independent, sincere, and decisive, and is not afraid of difficulties in daily life. They usually create harmonious relationships with everyone around. A minivan like the Honda Odyssey would be the best pair for the Dog. This faithful minivan is powered by a 2.4-litre DOHC i-VTEC engine delivering 173 hp and 225 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm and is mated to a CVT automatic. The Honda Odyssey takes comfort of its passengers seriously with a bigger armrest for the driver\u2019s seat, 4-way passenger power seat, added storage and enhanced utility and bigger headrests for the Premium Captain Cradle Seats with Ottoman on the second row. Not only that, but the Ultra-Low Floor Platform also makes it easy for passengers to enter and exit.\n\n\nThe Pig\n\n\n\n\nLoving, tolerant, honest, and appreciative of luxury. The Pig always shows generosity and mercy to endure other people\u2019s mistakes. They are incredibly open to the shortcomings of people and will work to create lasting and strong \nrelationships with others. A full-size SUV like the Ford Expedition is the perfect comparison to the Pig. One of the largest SUVs on the market, the Ford Expedition caters to those wanting maximum passenger space in a practical package. A truck-based platform provides rugged utility, while the eight-passenger cabin is comfortable and includes many tech amenities.\u00a0\n\n\nFrom all of us at Carsome, we would like to wish everyone of you the most auspicious Chinese New Year this year.

The zodiac is so important that many people use it as a guide in various aspects of their lives from health to career.\n\n\nFeng Shui experts believe that overall, 2023 will be an auspicious year for most people. However, some zodiac signs may face some financial risks which may influence their choice of car. When choosing your car, also pay attention to the color. Auspicious colors for the Year of the Rabbit include azure blue, apple green, red, and yellow. If you\u2019re worried about choosing the right car, don\u2019t fret, here\u2019s a list of cars that complement your Chinese zodiac sign.\n\n\nThe Rat\u00a0\n\n\nBirth Years: \n1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020\n\n\n\n\nThe first animal of the Chinese zodiac, the Rat is quick-witted, charming, resourceful, persuasive, and kind. It\u2019s adaptable and popular in social circles and can make the most out of bad situations. The Rat may face financial stress in 2023 so it\u2019s best to get an affordable, easy-to-maintain car. And the perfect car to represent the Rat is the \nPerodua Myvi\n. Consistently clinching the title of Malaysia\u2019s best-selling car, the Myvi is versatile and agile in the city, just like the Rat.\u00a0\n\n\nSince its launch in 2005, the Myvi has continually been favored for its ample space, affordability, and versatile seating arrangement that fits items of various sizes. The third-generation Myvi even boasts \nPerodua\u2019s\n Advanced Safety Assist (A.S.A.) system with adaptive cruise control (ACC), rear cross-traffic alert (RCTA), and pre-collision braking, just to name a few. That said, with how versatile and affordable the Myvi is, it\u2019s actually a great car for all zodiac signs.\n\n\nThe Ox\n\n\nBirth Years: \n1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021\n\n\n\n\nKind, patient, stubborn, with a strong sense of responsibility, the Ox is a good leader. They calmly work through whatever life throws at them but they also enjoy making an impact. Like the Rat, the Ox may also face financial stress this year and should be careful how they spend their money.\u00a0\n\n\nThe right car for the Ox should be affordable and reliable, being able to do whatever is needed of it, like the \nHonda HR-V\n. The HR-V is large enough for the average family and has Honda\u2019s Magic Seats that allow for multiple seating configurations. It also has ample creature comfort and \nsafety features\n like rear air conditioning vents and USB charging ports, Apple Carplay, Android Auto, six airbags, and the Honda SENSING advanced safety suite.\n\n\nRead More: \n6 Levels of Autonomous Driving Explained\n\n\nThe Tiger\n\n\nBirth Years: \n1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022\n\n\n\n\nThe Tiger is authoritative, courageous, intense, and independent. Tigers are known for always looking for excitement, so they need an eye-catching, sporty car like the Porche 718 Cayman. Masterfully built with German technology, the Cayman can be had with a 2.0 or 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine or a 4.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine promising performance that never fails to put a grin on your face.\u00a0\n\n\nPorsche\u2019s sports suspension, coupled with a six-speed manual or an automatic PDK transmission provides not only comfort but also an engaging drive when you want it. There\u2019s also no shortage of colors on the Cayman with colors like Guards Red, Racing Yellow, and Miami Blue being some colors that can be auspicious this year.\n\n\nThe Rabbit\n\n\nBirth Years: \n1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023\n\n\n\n\nThe Rabbit is sincere, compassionate, and elegant. It represents tenderness and grace, preferring to avoid confrontations and make friends instead of enemies. The Rabbit is also quick, efficient, and slow to anger. Hence, a suitable car for this Chinese zodiac sign would be the Ora Good Cat, an \nelectric vehicle\n (EV) manufactured by Great Wall Motors (GWM).\u00a0\n\n\nLaunched in Malaysia just in November 2022, the Ora Good Cat is available with two battery capacities. The 400 Pro gets a 47.8 kWh battery capable of a 400km range while the 500 Ultra gets a larger 63.1 kWh battery for up to 500 km of range. It has all the features you\u2019d want in a car including a 10.25-inch infotainment unit, lane keep assist, blind spot detection, and a 360-degree camera. Plus, its elegant curves, modern lighting design, and colorful interior should make the stylish Rabbit perfectly happy.\n\n\nThe Dragon\n\n\nBirth Years: \n1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012\n\n\n\n\nEnergetic, charismatic, fearless, and warm-hearted, Dragons are intellectual and lively people. They have a wide circle of friends and enjoy an adventure. For the charismatic Dragon, the BMW 3 Series offers a good balance of power, style, comfort, and practicality to ensure the Dragon can arrive wherever they\u2019re going to in understated style.\u00a0\n\n\nThe 3-Series is available in three variants \u2013 the naturally aspirated \n320i\n and \n330i\n as well as the plug-in hybrid \n330e\n. All variants are powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with different tuning, each promising enough power for spirited driving, especially when coupled with \nBMW\u2019s\n rear-wheel drive. Additionally, the plush interior and advanced features such as BMW OS infotainment system and Live Cockpit multi-info display create an upscale driving experience indeed.\n\n\nRead More: \nHydrogen Cars: Pros, Cons, & Everything You Need to Know\n\n\nThe Snake\n\n\nBirth Years:\n 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013\n\n\n\n\nCharming, introverted, generous, and smart, Snakes always follow their instincts and strive for perfection. Snakes are also funny, witty, and creative. This zodiac sign appreciates a balanced car that\u2019s reliable, practical, and still enjoyable to drive. And the \nToyota\n Corolla Cross Hybrid could be perfect for them.\u00a0\n\n\nIt has a sufficiently punchy yet economical powertrain, ample space for the family, and handles like a smaller car thanks to its Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform. It also has the necessary creature comfort features like rear air conditioning vents and reclining rear seats, along with the Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) 2.0 advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) making it a great \nSUV\n.\n\n\nThe Horse\n\n\nBirth Years: \n1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014\n\n\n\n\nThe Horse is energetic, ambitious, independent, and enjoys traveling. They are usually warm-hearted and easy-going which explains their positive attitude in the face of difficulties. Arguably the most adventurous on this Chinese zodiac list, the Horse deserves a car like the \nSubaru XV\n.\u00a0\n\n\nThis SUV comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder flat boxer engine and a symmetrical all-wheel drive for performance both on and off the road. The boxer engine also allows the Subaru XV to be sleeker, with a lower center of gravity than other SUVs giving it a more dynamic driving prowess. Like most modern cars, the XV also has ADAS in the form of Subaru Eyesight, making it a great car for trips with family and friends.\n\n\nThe Sheep\n\n\nBirth Years: \n1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015\n\n\n\n\nMild-mannered, shy, kind, and peace-loving, the Sheep also values quiet living and dependability. They are artistic and good at managing time and resources, so a refined, economical car like the \nHonda City\n Hybrid makes a good match for them. The City Hybrid has a 1.5-liter engine paired with a torquey electric motor giving it excellent acceleration in all conditions.\u00a0\n\n\nAnd being a \nhybrid\n, it sips fuel at a claimed combined fuel economy of 3.6 L/100 km. Although it\u2019s a B-segment \nsedan\n, the City Hybrid is packed with upscale features such as leather upholstery, \u2018Sport\u2019 pedals, Honda SENSING, and Honda CONNECT which allows you to monitor your car\u2019s information on your mobile device.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nTurn Your Car Into a Feng Shui Machine This Year of the Rabbit!\n\n\nThe Monkey\n\n\nBirth Years: \n1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016\n\n\n\n\nOut of all the Chinese Zodiac signs on this list, the Monkey is the most energetic, fun, and active. They\u2019re also intelligent in their career, and are adaptable. That\u2019s why they need a dynamic and flexible car like the \nProton X50\n. As the Monkey may face challenges at work this year, getting an affordable vehicle like the X50 can also help them keep costs down.\u00a0\n\n\nThe X50 provides heaps of fun on the road with its 1.5-liter turbocharged engine paired with Proton\u2019s ride and handling. It\u2019s also eye-catching coming in multiple colors including blue and red, which are auspicious in this Year of the Rabbit. Other features that make the X50 excellent to live with include the six-way adjustable power driver seat, multiple drive modes, and on the range-topping variant, a 10.25-inch infotainment display.\n\n\nThe Rooster\n\n\nBirth Years: \n1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017\n\n\n\n\nIndependent, practical, hard-working, and observant, roosters are known to be honest, communicative, and ambitious. They also have an innate sense of style and take pride in their appearance. The Rooster may not have the best money-making luck in 2023 but as they might need to travel more for work, they still need a good car.\n\n\nThe \nPerodua Ativa\n makes sense for the Rooster as it\u2019s economical, comfortable, and stands out on the road. Although it\u2019s a compact SUV, it has ample legroom, cup holders, a nine-inch infotainment display, and rear seats that can fold fully flat to easily accommodate large luggage. Its 1.0-liter turbocharged engine also means it\u2019s very economical with a fuel consumption of 5.3 L/100 km.\n\n\nRead More: \nCan Your Car Tires Expire?\n\n\nThe Dog\n\n\nBirth Years: \n1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018\n\n\n\n\nPatient, kind, generous, diligent, and faithful, the Dog has the attributes to face life\u2019s daily challenges head-on. They\u2019re also sincere, decisive, and value relationships which leads them to create harmonious connections with other people. As the dog values family and friends, the perfect car for this zodiac sign would be the \nPerodua Alza\n.\n\n\nThe 2022 Alza, based on the Toyota Veloz has ample space for seven adults to travel in comfort. It also has multiple USB ports and 12V power sockets, as well as ceiling-mounted rear aircon vents for the rear passengers\u2019 comfort. It doesn\u2019t compromise on safety either thanks to the onboard A.S.A system.\n\n\nThe Pig\n\n\nBirth Years: \n1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019\n\n\n\n\nThe Pig is loving, tolerant, honest, and appreciates the finer things in life. They tend to show generosity and mercy towards the shortcomings of others and like to work to create strong, lasting relationships. Since money is no issue for the Pig this year, they will undoubtedly enjoy owning a sophisticated sedan like the \nToyota Camry\n.\n\n\nNo longer an uncle\u2019s car, the 2022 Toyota Camry\u2019s 2.5-liter engine and TNGA platform provide a planted and sporty drive. Inside, it has a luxurious design with a 10-inch color head-up display (HUD), power-adjustable steering wheel, tri-zone automatic climate control, and power reclining rear seats. With these features, the Camry is a car that any \u2018boss\u2019 will appreciate.\n\n\nWe hope this list can help you find the right car for your Chinese zodiac and personality while also giving you something fun to think about.

However, it\u2019s important to note that the weightage of each pro or con is heavily dependent on multiple factors that are well beyond the control of the buyer and occasionally, the carmaker too.\n\n\nTaking that into consideration, the next few months would appear to favor pre-owned or \nsecond-hand cars\n for a number of factors.\n\n\n\n\n1. No Waiting Period\n\n\nThis one is the primary reason behind favoring pre-owned over new. For the majority of people, affordable cars are purchased as a necessity rather than a luxury and most first-time buyers can\u2019t afford to wait months for a car as it affects their livelihood.\n\n\nThe extended waiting period for new cars in Malaysia isn\u2019t something new and has been a thorn in the automotive industry\u2019s side since the pandemic threw a wrench into the works of production and parts supplies.\n\n\nHowever, the \nglobal parts shortage\n isn\u2019t the only element weighing down deliveries. The service tax (SST) exemption for new vehicles that was meant to spur new car sales saw an unprecedented surge in orders that have overwhelmed production.\n\n\nThat, coupled with the global parts shortage, has led to waiting periods of over 12 months for some of the more popular models in Malaysia, especially in 2021 and early 2022.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nCARSOME\u2019s 6 Best Affordable Cars for College Students\n\n\nFirst-time buyers looking for a mode of transport to their first job or to college can ill afford to wait six months or more for delivery. While that may not be the only reason behind someone being unable to wait that long for a new car, the gist of it is that a large number of buyers don\u2019t have that luxury and need options with immediacy.\n\n\nThe most viable solution for this is getting a pre-owned car.\n\n\nPre-owned cars are ready to go and with the right documents as well as a strong credit score, can be driven off the lot in a couple of days.\n\n\nWhile some may argue that a pre-owned vehicle lacks a proper warranty or could be susceptible to mileage tampering, platforms such as CARSOME provide their CARSOME Certified cars that undergo a stringent 175-point inspection to ensure they\u2019re free of major accidents and flood damage, and have gone through a thorough refurbishment process. The cars also come with a fixed price with no hidden fees, a 5-day money-back guarantee, and a 1-year warranty.\n\n\n2. Avoiding a Possible OPR Increase\n\n\nThis has been a hot topic lately. First, let\u2019s try to explain what the overnight policy rate (OPR) is.\n\n\nThe OPR is the interest rate set by the central bank at which a depository institution (bank) lends immediately available funds (balances within the central bank) to another bank overnight to keep their cash reserves in check for a healthy and fluid financial system.\n\n\nSimply put, the OPR determines the interest rate for a loan. And what is it most people need to buy a car? That\u2019s right, a loan. Therefore, a higher OPR would translate into higher interest rates for a loan.\n\n\nBank Negara Malaysia (BNM) has increased the OPR three times already this year, in May, July, and September 2022, from a historic low of 1.75 percent to 2.50 percent at the time of writing this article. There are rumors that the OPR will climb again before the end of the year.\n\n\nSeeing that car loans (hire purchase) are mostly fixed rate financing arrangements, they won\u2019t be charged on the outstanding balance based on an underlying index and are therefore not affected by an increasing OPR mid-loan.\n\n\nNonetheless, any loan approval by a bank is only valid for a period of 3 months before the offer is rescinded. So, if your new car is only going to be delivered in 6 months or more, you might be hit with a higher interest rate when the time comes to sign on the dotted line.\n\n\nRead More:\n What to Do Before Starting a Car That Has Been Left Sitting for Months\n\n\nAs explained to us by a salesperson, the initial loan submission is done to ensure that there are no issues with getting approval for a loan down the road. Once the delivery date for your new vehicle has been confirmed, the salesperson will resubmit the loan a month prior to the delivery date if the initial approval has surpassed the 3-month period.\n\n\nThe second submission and approval, however, will be subject to the interest rate at that time which could be higher if the OPR does climb.\n\n\nTaking all this into account, going for a pre-owned car that\u2019s readily available will see your loan be subject to the current interest rates, effectively locking it in for the entire tenure of your loan.\n\n\n\n\n3. Circumventing Depreciation\n\n\nMost new cars lose a ton of their value to dreaded depreciation the moment that new tire rolls onto the road off the showroom floor. Luxury cars tend to take the brunt of the hit from the depreciation branch a lot more than more mainstream models but ultimately, there\u2019s no escaping depreciation for a new car.\n\n\nDepreciation hits exponentially from new, meaning as time passes the car loses less and less from its residual value. When the time comes to sell the car or trade it in for something newer, you\u2019ll be on the losing end by a larger margin.\n\n\nOn the other hand, seeing that the brunt of depreciation happens in the first few years, buying a pre-owned vehicle will see you losing less on the residual value during the time of your ownership.\n\n\nRead More:\n \nHow to Claim Your 1-Year CARSOME Extended Warranty\n\n\nShould you decide to sell your pre-owned car or trade it in for an upgrade, theoretically you won\u2019t feel much of a pinch. Furthermore, if you purchased a popular or mainstream pre-owned model, it tends to hold onto its resale value better down the road. There\u2019ll always be demand for popular models.\n\n\nOf course, the semantics of this entire depreciation facet can be kicked around for yonks but there is a modicum of logic to it, and is worth considering.\n\n\nBuy CARSOME Certified for Peace of Mind\n\n\nHere at CARSOME, we believe in creating an end-to-end buying journey to eliminate the concerns common in a traditional used car buying experience. \nCARSOME Certified\n is the new standard for buying pre-owned cars backed up by our \n175-point inspection\n together with our \nCARSOME Certified Refurbishment Process\n.\u00a0\n\n\nBy creating a trusted used car ecosystem, CARSOME Certified provides high-quality pre-owned cars by guaranteeing trust, transparency, and choice.\n\n\nWith CARSOME, the best time to buy a car is now.

Taking your time to consider all the models, pricing, options etc is always a smart decision before putting down your hard-earned money.\n\n\n\n\nBut there are also specific timings where you can get the best deal possible when buying a car. So if you do find yourself on the fence about a certain model, and it\u2019s close to that time, maybe it\u2019s time to take the plunge.\n\n\nAt the End of the Month\n\n\nLike many businesses, dealerships and sales executives have monthly targets to meet. When the end of the month is approaching, they may be lining up to offer you a deal especially if their sales targets have not been met.\n\n\nThe deal may be in the form of discounts or freebies such as free servicing or petrol vouchers. A tactic that you can use to buy yourself some time to think is to test drive a car you\u2019re interested in earlier in the month, then close the deal at the end of the month.\n\n\nAt the End of the Year\n\n\nSimilar to month-end targets, dealerships also work towards year-end targets. If anything, the lucrative year-end bonuses are incentive enough for sellers to give even deeper discounts to attract buyers.\n\n\nFurthermore, you may also find great deals on older models since dealers want to display the newest cars on their lot. If you\u2019re flexible on the color and trim level, you can get very good deals on outgoing models, especially if they are due to be replaced next year.\n\n\nRead:\n \nAwesome Monthly Discounts on Carsome Cars\n\n\nDuring Special Festivals\n\n\nBrands and dealerships love holiday-themed promotions. In Malaysia, dealers run promotions during almost every major festival, from Hari Raya to Chinese New Year and even Merdeka.\n\n\nThese festival sales offer discounts to draw in the crowds, and they are indeed worth your time to check out. But if you can, hold out until the end of the year to enjoy even better deals.\n\n\nPlan Ahead If\u00a0 You Know You Need a Car\n\n\nThe best time to get a car is when you know you definitely need a new car. For example, your existing car may be on its last legs, and it is time for you to replace it. Or if you have a growing family, and your hatchback is too small to transport three children and your spouse.\n\n\n\n\nWhen you have to get a new car quickly, you leave yourself vulnerable to mental pressure. You may not be able to think clearly and take advantage of deals because you need a new set of wheels \nnow\n.\n\n\nThis is doubly true right now in the new car market. Decreased production due to the pandemic and the semiconductor supply crunch mean that customers are facing either long waiting times, hiked up prices or both. The situation is expected to last for several more months as supply chains slowly get back to normal. This is why buying a used car is a smart alternative \u2013 it\u2019s ready for you and it is much more affordable than a brand new car.\n\n\nWhen you start the buying process early, you can pick your target model, set your budget and obtain financing if needed. Thus, if you know you might need a new ride soon, planning ahead and shopping sensibly pays off (in the form of a good deal on your next car).\n\n\nWith Carsome, It Always a Good Time to Buy a Car\n\n\nSometimes, we are just too busy to think about buying a car, even though it involves a large financial commitment.

Despite our best efforts to care for our cars, the wear and tear of the miles will add up. Manufacturers normally expect their cars to last up to an average of ten years.\n\n\nThus, at some point, you will need to sell your car. But when is it the right time to do that? How do we know that it\u2019s time to change cars? Here are some of the factors you need to consider.\n\n\n\n\nUpgrading Your Car\n\n\nIf you\u2019ve been driving the same car for the past ten or so years, it probably makes sense to upgrade your car. Newer cars constantly introduce technologies that improve safety or make life easier for the driver. Improved fuel efficiency can also be a big cost factor in deciding when to sell an older, less efficient model if you find yourself driving long distances regularly.\n\n\nOnce you\u2019ve upgraded your car, it makes sense to sell off your previous car. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be stuck with a depreciating asset. Best to sell it to maximize its value.\n\n\nAnother reason why you might want to sell your car after upgrading may simply be a matter of space. Parking space is now at a premium especially if you live in the city. If you (or your partner) will not be using your previous car, you would want to sell it if you don\u2019t have the space to keep it.\n\n\n\n\nSelling When It\u2019s Still in Good Condition\n\n\nOn the other hand, selling your car when it\u2019s still in good condition can be a great decision as well. This way, you can get top dollar for your car as well as avoid headaches down the line.\n\n\nSelling a car that needs major repairs can be a lot of work. The potential pool of buyers shrinks drastically, and those that are interested will be in a position to drive the price down. As the saying goes, getting out while the going is good is a great idea when it comes to maximizing the value of your car.\n\n\nMileage can also be a great influence in deciding when to sell your car. After certain mileage markers, your car\u2019s value will take a significant hit. If you can, sell before the 100,000 kilometer mark as that is when many manufacturer warranties expire. The next big depreciation hit comes at the 150,000 kilometer mark which is what buyers perceive as an \u2018old car\u2019, making the car harder to sell.\n\n\nYour Lifestyle Has Changed\n\n\nOnce upon a time, you used to be a hip, single person about town. Zooming around in your compact car made perfect sense. It\u2019s light, nimble, and can fit into tiny parking spaces. What\u2019s more, its frugal fuel consumption meant that it was light on your wallet too.\n\n\nNow though, you\u2019re married with children. That compact car is now looking really small, what with all the shopping, baby needs, and strollers you need to haul around. Worse, the annual \nbalik kampung\n trips are becoming an uncomfortable, cramped affair. Safety is also a concern when you\u2019re transporting your family around in a small car.\n\n\nWith all the changes we go through in life, it also determines what we use our car for. In the above example, it may be high time to trade in the compact car for something with more space \u2013 perhaps an MPV or an SUV \u2013 to suit your current lifestyle. At the end of the day, a car is a (albeit expensive) tool that needs to suit our lifestyle, not the other way around.\n\n\n\n\nSelling Your Car, the Hassle-free Way with Carsome\n\n\nWhen the time comes to sell your car, choosing the correct platform can save lots of your time and energy.

Whether it\u2019s a brand new or a used car, the number of options out there can be daunting and time-consuming to choose. There is no harm in opting for a used car if you have budget constraints. However, choosing used cars is an extra hassle for maintenance and spare parts, especially for older models. If you\u2019re still stuck on making the decision, here are some of the best-used cars in Malaysia.\n\n\nKing of the Road \u2013 Myvi\n\n\nMyvi\u2019s are no-brainers when it comes to their ownership; they are reputable for their cost, performance, and reliability. Perodua found their \ngolden goose\n when they first introduced this four-door hatchback in 2005. The rebadged Daihatsu Boon has proven to be successful on Malaysian shores and proven to be the best-selling car up until \n2021\n! It\u2019s no surprise that the titular hatchback has still remained in high demand due to its reliability factor as one of the best used cars in Malaysia.\u00a0\n\n\nCurrently, the 2005 to 2015 Perodua Myvi can be had with a 1.3L or a larger 1.5L four-cylinder engine, mated to a five-speed manual if you like to row your gears or a bog-standard 4-speed automatic. Fuel efficiency in the Myvi has been reported at \n4.7L/100km as reported by Wapcar\n. Aftermarket-wise, you don\u2019t need to sweat it out as it\u2019s easily sourced locally or can be had as overnight parts from Japan, made by Daihatsu for the Boon model.\n\n\nRead More: \nBefore You Buy a Used Perodua Myvi, Check These 5 Things\n\n\nThe Second Runner-Up \u2013 Proton Iriz\n\n\nArguably Proton\u2019s answer to the Perodua Myvi, the Iriz also gets a decent amount of spotlight as our local heroes. This five-seater hatchback may have fallen short in comparison to the Perodua Myvi despite speculations that it could be the \nMvyi-killer\n. Years after release, the Iriz still somehow could not keep up with Perodua\u2019s golden goose in the B-segment market. Yet that still did not deter some people from owning them. Nonetheless, the Iriz has built itself as a popular platform \nfor rallying\n on the global stage by a UK Motorsports team.\n\n\nThe Iriz can be had in two engines \u2013 a 1.3L and a 1.6L four-cylinder engine. Transmission-wise, you can have this hatchback with a CVT or a 5-Speed Manual sending its power to the front wheels. For just under RM40k, the Iriz offers a much more comfortable and luxurious feel compared to the Myvi.\u00a0\n\n\nShop Now: \nUsed Proton Iriz For Sale\n\n\nRead More: \nHere\u2019s all you need to know about the latest 2019 Proton Iriz and Persona facelift\n\n\nPlain, but gets the Job Done \u2013 Perodua Bezza\n\n\nBased on the Axia platform, Perodua designed the Bezza under Daihatsu\u2019s consultation with fuel efficiency in mind. The Bezza is also Perodua\u2019s first model to have stop-start engine idling and regenerative braking available. In addition, it was also Perodua\u2019s first in-house designed vehicle. Upon launch, the Bezza can be had in three models \u2013 Standard G, Premium X, and Advance. Reviews have been stellar on Bezza\u2019s performance, practicality, and cheaper price tag compared to its hatchback cousin, the Myvi.\n\n\nGiven the Bezza is designed to be cheap and affordable in mind, Perodua gave the Bezza a small 1.0L, three-cylinder engine and a 1.3L four-cylinder engine, mated with a five-speed manual or a bog-standard four-speed automatic transmission.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nHonda City 2020 vs Perodua Bezza 2020\n\n\nFor Performance Seekers \u2013 Honda City\n\n\nAs is in their slogan, Honda makes dream machines for all ranges. If the brand new Civic is out of reach, you can still settle down for a used Honda City. The fourth generation Honda City still bags a bargain among the used car market due to its \nsix-airbag safety system\n installed.\u00a0\n\n\nBesides that, the post-facelift models come with keyless entry, push-button start, reverse sensors, auto-retractable folding side mirrors with indicators, and a multi-info display. They still remained a favorite even years after Honda stopped selling them.\u00a0\n\n\nThe fourth generation Honda City has more trim levels available. It starts off with a 1.3L and a 1.5L four-cylinder i-DSI engine. The range-topping and most desirable model can be had with a 1.5L i-Vtec four-cylinder engine, which is highly sought after by car enthusiasts for modification. Commonly, it comes with a CVT transmission. A five-speed transmission is offered but it\u2019s relatively rare.\n\n\nRead More: \nUsed Honda City Buying Guide\u00a0\n\n\nReliable and Durable \u2013 Toyota Vios\n\n\nToyota has been hailed as the king of reliability for good reason. Have you heard of a Toyota car breaking down before? Even in later generations, Toyota still carries on with its core philosophy of making cars reliable for the next 10 to 20 years as quoted by \nScotty Kilmer\n. The 2013 to 2015 used Toyota Vios still holds a great bargain for a premium compact sedan at a good price. Parts are easier to get, cheap maintenance and a reputable brand for reliability make it a car enthusiast\u2019s favorite.\u00a0\n\n\nThe 2015 model is powered by a 1.5L, four-cylinder VVT-i engine. It can be had with a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual transmission. Compared to the second generation, Toyota claims there is a 5% improvement in fuel consumption in the engine along with \nseveral passenger-oriented upgrades.\n\n\nRead More: \nPerodua Bezza Advance vs Toyota Vios J\n\n\nBest Fuel Efficiency \u2013 Nissan Almera\n\n\nArguably Nissan\u2019s most popular model in Malaysia aside from the infamous GTR. The Almera is designed to be practical and affordable in mind. Nissan introduced the third generation Almera into Malaysian shores by Tan Chong Motors. As the turbocharged, three-cylinder, the \nfourth generation has been introduced\n, the third generation is still desirable due to its small engine capacity and fuel efficiency for city drives.\u00a0\n\n\nAll variants of the third-generation Nissan Almera share the same 1.5L four-cylinder engine. Like other brands mentioned above, the Almera can be had in a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. Fuel efficiency wise, Nissan reports that the Almera has a \n14.9km per liter for the auto and 15.9km for the manual\n.\n\n\nTips to Help You Decide Which Car is Best For You\n\n\nWhile the number of models we have listed above can be tempting to choose from, we urge you to take a step back and reconsider your current options before making the big decision.\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFinances\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFinancial experts strongly recommend that one should \nspend 15% of their salary\n to pay off their car\u2019s installments. Preferably, the net salary that you bring home every month. This is to ensure you still have enough money for maintenance, parts if needed or just regular daily expenses to keep you going until the next paycheck arrives. \nWapcar reports that in the first half of 2022\n, 18 people go into bankruptcy daily with a majority spent on car purchases in mind. With that, we urge you to crunch out the numbers first before making any decisions.\u00a0\n\n\nRead More: \nHow Much Should You Spend on Your Car Installment\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNeed vs Want\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere\u2019s no shame in denying all of us want to drive something nice one day. However, as we mentioned in the finances part earlier, do not go broke just to spend that money for showing off. Lay off that thought to buy that used BMW for a while and settle down for a Bezza for the time being. What\u2019s the point of spending half your salary on a used continental car when you have to devoid yourself of your basic needs for food, clothes, and rent/housing all just to sate your desires? Save up, get that salary increment in your job and come back for that car of your dreams once you are financially stable enough to do it.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParts and Reliability\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA saying in Germany goes \u2013 A cheap Mercedes is an expensive Mercedes. The temptation to snag a cheap continental car is alluring. But be warned, continental car parts have a higher price tag, and mechanical complexity and require technical expertise to maintain in the long run. In some cases, you might just spend more money on parts and labor fees than you have spent on the car itself!\n\n\nWith that in mind, we hope you can find the right car that suits you and enjoy the overall journey of test driving and owning one day.\u00a0\n\n", "Tags\nBuying a Car\nCar Review\nCar Tips\nCar Types\nCars\nCARSOME Certified\nComparison\nCosts", "Brian Wong", "", "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"]}
