The Toyota Vios has always played a very specific role in Singapore. It has been the dependable one. The practical one. The car families recommend, the one ride-hailing drivers trust, the one that quietly gets on with life without needing applause. But exciting, it is not. This new version, however, surprised me more than I expected. In fact, I kept finding myself saying, “Eh, not bad leh,” which in local speak is ...
Read MoreHot hatches are supposed to shout. They should bark on start-up, crackle on lift-off and generally behave like they had too much sugar before leaving the factory. Which is why the first surprise with the latest JCW Cooper is this. It doesn’t. Fire it up, and you are met with… a slightly louder-than-normal exhaust note. But otherwise, it's civilised, polite, almost suspiciously well-behaved. If you closed your eyes, you might think you ...
Read MoreThere is a reason you see quite a few Audi Q5 models (across the generations) on the road.

But does the new model still deliver? In this day and age of 'bargain' SUVs from the east, it's getting harder to make a case ...
Read MoreThe A6 Sportback e-tron brings me back to a time when driving an Audi felt wonderfully straightforward. I still remember the mid-2000s, when the brand began rolling out its TFSI engines. The cars were quick without being intimidating, efficient without feeling dull, and beautifully engineered, making you feel like a better driver than you probably were. You got in, pointed it at a road, and everything just worked. Somewhere along the way, that ...
Read MoreThere is something quite charming about a brand that prioritises looks above everything. Cupra has always leaned into drama. Sharp surfacing, moody lighting, copper highlights everywhere. The Terramar continues that theatre, except now it wraps the attitude into something family-sized and daily usable. I spent my time with the 1.5 eTSI mild hybrid, which, on paper, may not scream headline numbers, but in real life, especially in a cramped city ...
Read MoreThe Sealion 7 has become a very common sight on our roads. I have seen it at events, sat in it during other drives, and heard plenty of opinions from owners and fellow journalists. What I had not done until this point was spend proper time behind the wheel of the Cat A version (shocking, I know). This one is the Dynamic, the entry point into the range. On paper, it ...
