Review: 2018 Suzuki Celerio CVT
You can’t expect much from a sub-compact hatchback such as the Suzuki Celerio; after all, this is as close to basic motoring as you can get. Yet, it easily stands toe-to-toe not only against its direct rival, the Toyota Wigo, but against other slightly more expensive choices such as the Kia Picanto and Mitsubishi Mirage. In fact, strip its “basic transport” label and you end up with one of the best bang-for-the-buck choices in the market.

First Drive: 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport SE
People don’t know much about the Land Rover range. With the exception of the Defender and perhaps the Discovery, vehicles such as the Discovery Sport don’t exactly ring a bell as to where they lie within the line-up. As the brand’s “leisure” model, it replaces the Freelander which was discontinued in 2014. With the likes of the Audi Q5, Mercedes-Benz GLC, and Porsche Macan within its price range, can the Discovery Sport carve up its own niche in the crowded segment?
