Going The Distance With The Audi A3 And One Tank Of Fuel

A 750-kilometre Audi A3 efficiency run, caffeine-deprived co-drivers, and a test to show that comfort doesn’t have to come at the cost of fuel economy. I’ve done the northbound road trip to Malaysia more times than I care to admit, sometimes for the scenery, sometimes for the satay, and almost always with the silent mission to “beat the GPS estimate”. But this particular trip was different. This Audi-led drive wasn’t about making ...

BMW X3 M50 Review

The new BMW X3 M50 has taken the road less travelled, in a bid to stand out more from the competition. If you were to guess BMW’s most important model, you might instinctively say the 3 Series, the benchmark sports saloon that has shaped the brand’s DNA for decades. Or perhaps the 5 Series, given its versatility, spanning everything from executive sedans to high-performance M-badged monsters. But no, the real sales king ...

Deepal S07 Review

Deepal isn't a brand as well-known as other Chinese manufacturers, but the S07 shows it can make just as good of an impact. Before you even adjust your seatbelt or tap the brake pedal, the Deepal S07 greets you with a cheerful, “Hi! I’m Deepal!” It’s chipper and just a little too enthusiastic, like an intern on their first day who insists on calling everyone “boss”. But as far as first impressions ...
