Škoda Octavia Turns 30, With Nearly 7.9 Million Cars Built

Three decades after the first modern Octavia rolled off the production line, Škoda’s enduring bestseller celebrates a milestone, and Singapore is marking it with a challenge centred on one of the car’s greatest talents: its enormous boot. Thirty years is a long time in the motor industry. Technologies come and go, model names disappear, and entire categories of cars can fall out of fashion. The Škoda Octavia, however, has simply carried ...

Beyond the car: BYD Lifestyle Privilege Programme Makes Ownership Part Of Everyday Life

The Chinese carmaker has launched its first lifestyle privilege programme in Singapore, as it looks to deepen its relationship with a rapidly growing community of BYD and Denza owners. Buying a car has traditionally been a fairly straightforward transaction. A customer chooses a model, collects the keys and, apart from servicing appointments and the occasional owners’ event, the relationship with the manufacturer largely revolves around the vehicle. BYD wants to change that. ...

Ora 5 Review

The cutesy Ora brand has grown up with its first SUV model for Singapore, and the Ora 5 offers practical usability with its own unique charm. There are some cars where I wished I had more time to test drive sometimes. Typically these are either mind-blowing high-performance models that I don’t get to experience often, or extremely fun to drive cars that just make me reluctant to hand the keys back. The ...

Ferrari Amalfi Review

The Ferrari Amalfi may be the least powerful and least expensive Ferrari you can buy today, but it could also be one of the easiest to genuinely enjoy. It's weird to call any Ferrari an entry-level model. Entry-level suggests sensible shoes, base-spec infotainment and perhaps a monthly instalment plan you can discuss without first contacting your private banker. The Ferrari Amalfi, meanwhile, comes with 631bhp, a twin-turbocharged V8 and a price ...
