Volkswagen Passat 1.8 TSI Road Test
More power and punch than the old model


Last year, when we drove the 2-litre Passat FSI, we were relatively impressed with the level of comfort it had to offer as a refined cruiser. It lacked power, and nothing much was left to our imagination with the car’s up-front nature. It did offer us something a little different though.Now, they’ve replaced the aforementioned, workhorse 2-litre powerplant that we have all come to know of in the Beetle and Golf, in the form of a new 1.8-litre TSI turbo. Being the smaller brother to the bigger 2-litre TFSI, it puts out less torque and power. read more TSI

Used Cars Vs New Cars
Let us weigh the pros and cons for you


Perhaps the most attractive advantage of buying a new car is its warranty. Usually, the warranty comes with free car servicing. A new car is equip with new paintwork, new tyres, new engine and the likes. Considering that the car is brand new, you can rest assure that the car is accident-free. The owner is at liberty to customise the accessories for the car, such as its bodykit and spoiler. Psychologically, the owner of a new car will probably experience a euphoria high from purchasing a brand new item. Lastly, new car interest rate is relatively lower, translating to lower interest paid for a new car loan compared to a used car loan.read more

This Caddy Don't Need No Tiger
Over the past few years, many people have turned to powerful turbodiesel Eurovans, which can fulfill dual roles as business and leisure vehicles. Just how good to drive are they? Team SGcarmart takes a look at one...


GOING to a garage does not make you a car, and going to McDonalds does not make you a Big Mac. So people realized driving a van does not make you a delivery man. Eurovans have grown in popularity due to their unique styling and powerful but fuel efficient diesel engine. The Volkswagen Caddy TDI is just one of the many that have flooded the market. So the team at sgcarmart decided to step out of the comfort of passenger cars and try their hand at driving such a commercial vehicle, and got more than they bargained for...read more

buying a car
10 January 2008 | Buying A Car

We can all be somewhat idealistic when thinking of driving around in our dream set of wheels. But one really has to face the reality that a vehicle is a very big purchase. So don’t just go to the showroom or walk into that car dealership blindly...read more
