a future classic.....the 190E....driven!!

what would you do...if you were given the chance to do something that you wanted to do for a long time????DO IT of coz!!!!!well...thats what i did when i was given the chance to drive one of the most iconic mercs ever made...thats right...i am talking about the 190e...originally made for rallying...the ambitions of mercedes benz were brought to an abrupt end with the introduction of the Audi quattro...so...if anyone who see's this car thinking its a regular 'old school' merc....THINK AGAIN!!,,,,,the ride was smooth....it handled like it did when it left the factory...which in other words means.....SUPERB.....!!the sound proofing is classical mercs....good....!build quality....great!!THEBEST 'OLD SCHOOL' CAR I HAVE EVER DRIVEN!

c200k driven!!

Well...this merc has been a personal favorite of mine ever since it was launched wayyyyyy back in the year 2000...a new model is out now...but...this car still is a head turner.....in true merc fashion the ride and handling was a JOY!......sound proofing was superbbbbbb!!....the built quality was AMAZING!!!!the only thing that was a let down was its general lack of space...overall...its another merc worth drooling about....

Old is Gold??the Toyota SEG DRIVEN!

Have you ever wondered how a car like the TOYOTA SEG has its own fan club??well to the untrained naked eye,the SEG might be written of as a 'grandpa car'...i mean..look at it....the design is very very VERY 'safe'....nothing bold or different thats worth shouting about..BUT...once i took it for a spin,i was pleasantly suprised by the smoothness of the ride..the sound proofing was above average as well...clearly i underestimated this car(like the rest of the world i suppose)...the engine however was somewhat lacking in terms of power...this is a smooth car but unfortunately...it is a very very slow one...the SEG is without a doubt the best 'old' car i have driven so far!

Malaysia's shining star,the MYVI.. driven!!

well,it took long enough for me to get my hands on the MYVI.it is THE number one car in malaysia at the moment,in terms of sales that is.....well...how does this car actually fare??hmmm....pretty well if i do say so myself....the myvi was 'given' to me by a friend to test it out,and boy was i excited!ok,lets get to the review!let me start of by saying that the myvi has HUGE legroom for not only the driver!!but for everyone in the car!!thumbs up for that!!the overall handling was ok i guess,it was smooth...a vast improvement from the last perodua i drove..(the KANCIL!!!)...but it felt too light...i felt as if the car couldnt really protect me....wonder why.....hmmm....the built quality was average...there were afew squeks and the air cond had watery mist all around it..poor finishing if you ask me.it was a fun car to drive though.sound proofing was slightly above average...only slightly..

the INFAMOUS VANETTE DRIVEN!

I have been eyeing this ride for some time now....well mainly because i have not driven a van before...and when we malaysians talk about vans.....no other van will come into mind other then the NISSAN VANETTE...well....to tell you the truth....it handled alright....suprisingly,it had loads of 'UMMMMMPPPH'!which caught me off guard..!well...when we talk about the design...only an idiot will call it anything but outdated....sound proofing is extremely poor...but i expected that anyway....the suspension system was actually good...it managed to handle all the 'punishment' that was hurled towards it!..well...eventhough the VANNETTE is one of the 'older' vans out there....it performs its bulit purpose...which is to carry moderate loads...well...

Nissan sunny DRIVEN!

A friend of mine gave me the opportunity to drive this car...the nissan sunny was a famous car about 30 years ago....and personally...i feel it has aged well...the ride...well...was somewhat similar to the mitsubishi galant that i drove before...but slightly better in terms of comfort...sound proofing was poor...
