First drive: 2015 Toyota Yaris TRD in the UAE

by Mashfique Hussain Chowdhury. July 2, 2015.

The latest Toyota Yaris hatchback is a pretty good car. We’d even go as far as tell you to put it on your shopping list if you’re in the market for a new car in the Dhs 50,000 range, although we’d never buy one ourselves (because we’re one of those crazies who buy a decade-old BMW M Roadster for the same money). However, Toyota is now actively trying to spice up its model line-up for the “youths”, and the Yaris has been a beneficiary of that campaign. Therefore, here’s the 2015 Toyota Yaris TRD.

by Mashfique Hussain Chowdhury. July 1, 2015.

General News

First drive: 2016 Honda Odyssey J in the UAE

by Mashfique Hussain Chowdhury. June 26, 2015.

Japan has some quirky yet practical cars, a side-effect of the country’s unique culture as well as obsession with making life easier, be it with robots, gadgets or hugely-spacious cars with tiny wheelbases. Of course, we’re not getting 660cc “kei” cars on the streets of Dubai any time soon. What we have here is the 4-cylinder Honda Odyssey J, the slightly-smaller Japanese-built cousin of the full-size V6-powered American-built Odyssey minivan.

by Alvin Emmanuel Thomas. June 24, 2015.

Gold wraps and tuning packages aren’t news to us. But having a car tuned, wrapped and then named after Dubai caught our attention. The KTM X-BOW GT Gold Edition is a product of German tuners Wimmer.

First drive: 2015 Ford Fiesta in the UAE

by Vivek Menon. June 23, 2015.

We usually don’t look at too many small cars simply because the cheapest offerings from all brands are now almost similar to each other. We end up looking at some when we have to rent one out though, like this all-new 2015 Ford Fiesta we had rented for a week.

First drive: 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 in the UAE

by Mashfique Hussain Chowdhury. June 18, 2015.

Redesigned alongside the Chevrolet Silverado for 2014, the GMC Sierra is pretty much a clone of the aforementioned Chevy, save for the front end. The version we’re testing here is some sort of well-optioned trim, complete with body-coloured bumpers and shiny alloy wheels, but still stands one level below the chrome-grilled Sierra Denali model.

So we got a 2015 Audi A6 35 FSI

by Mashfique Hussain Chowdhury. June 17, 2015.

The Audi A6 has been facelifted. What, you don’t believe us? Look closer. It’s got new headlights and things. Truth is, the facelift really is limited to headlights and things, but it’s enough to make this midsize sedan look stunning with the “S-Line” package. Just look at those wheels.

First drive: 2016 Toyota Camry in the UAE

by Mashfique Hussain Chowdhury. June 9, 2015.

It seems like just the other day when Toyota launched the 2012 Camry to much fanfare. So it seems prudent that the “all-new” 2016 Camry isn’t exactly all-new. Just launched today in the UAE, we took one for a brief spin around the cluttered “New Dubai” area.
