MINI JCW Convertible Review

There is something deeply satisfying about a fast convertible. It is not the most logical thing to buy, especially with Singapore’s weather swinging between sunburn and thunderstorms. But logic was never the point. The MINI John Cooper Works Convertible is about fun, freedom, and a proper bit of driving engagement. And on those fronts, it absolutely delivers. A Grown-Up MINI With Its Wild Side Intact MINI has undergone significant growth in recent ...

Jaguar F-Pace PHEV

Jaguar F-Pace PHEV Review

If the regular Jaguar F-Pace is the automotive equivalent of a Swiss Army knife, then the plug-in hybrid version is what happens when you add a bottle opener, USB-C adapter, and laser pointer to the mix. Jaguar’s electrified ambitions haven’t exactly grabbed headlines the way some of their German counterparts have. The F-Pace itself is almost a decade old, having launched back in 2016, and for the most part, this F-PACE is ...

Kia EV5 Review

Then came the Chinese, and they rewrote the playbook. In this new ...

Maxus Mifa 7

Maxus MIFA 7 Review

Now, in the wallet-friendly Category A COE bracket, the Maxus MIFA 7 stands out in its own class of MPVs. We last reviewed the Maxus Mifa 7 earlier this year. Its practicality and sensible pricing were key attributes in its attractiveness, and now Maxus has introduced yet another cheaper variant. One that falls under Category A of the COE ladder. But, is the reduction of power a dealbreaker for the practical family ...
