mReview: 2022 Peugeot e-2008 - French Quirkiness In Controlled Doses

It may very well be the most affordable European electric car on sale in Singapore today (and by a not-insignificant margin), but it certainly doesn’t look or feel like its price tag. It oozes quality and a certain air of French flair, creating this cohesive user experience that actually puts some cars costing significantly more to shame.

The e-2008 is very much proof that budget-oriented vehicles can be pleasant spaces to be in, and civilised cars to live with.

So just what sets this electric Peugeot apart? Find out here!

The Motorist Guide To Surviving The F1 Weekend

Our race has been held on the streets around Marina Bay since the first iteration back in 2008, with the organisers only opting to skip two events (2020 and 2021) as a result of the pandemic. As such, we’re sure motorists are no strangers to the delays and the chaos that ensues throughout the F1 weekend.

Still, there has to be a way to circumvent the traffic build-up and congestion that results. What would we recommend you do to have a more pleasant commute through the city?

Five Shops To Satisfy Your Hankering For A Sandwich - mGuide

We all have cravings, and those cravings can be extravagant, or they can be simple. And sometimes, they can be as simple as a sandwich.

For the next installment of mGuides, it’s all about sandwiches! Instead of your run-of-the-mill sandwiches that are just some meat and/or vegetables in between two slices of bread, the sandwiches on this list are much more substantial than that, and are guaranteed to satisfy your cravings.

BAC Officially Launches Mono R In Singapore Through Official Dealer NB Auto

Let’s say you are seeking a no-compromise track toy, and actually have the financial means to pay for one. What car can you actually buy in Singapore today that fits the bill?

Well, there really aren’t that many out-and-out performance cars that have been designed from the ground-up to provide its driver a raw and unfiltered visceral experience from behind the wheel. At least, not for sale locally.

Until now.

Motorist Car Buyer's Guide: Mazda CX-3

Making good looking cars, let alone a subcompact crossover, is not something many manufacturers are capable of. But Mazda isn’t like most manufacturers, which brings us to the CX-3. 

Initially revealed at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show as a new model in the Mazda lineup, the CX-3 was introduced to Singapore in mid-2016. As Mazda’s entry into the crowded and competitive subcompact crossover segment, it was up against tough competition from the start.

But what should you look out for before buying one?
