Proton e.MAS 7 PHEV - The Better Choice?

Proton e.MAS 7 PHEV - The Better Choice?

Daniel finally got his hands on the plug-in hybrid version of the Proton e.MAS 7, and while it was only for a short while, he thinks it's a better alternative compared to the fully electric version of the model. He shares his impressions of the car on the show.

But before that, we talk about parking etiquette in residential areas, as yet another case of inconsiderate parking happened in one of the neighbourhoods recently.

In our news segment, we talk about Proton's great performance at the start of the year, driven by the sales of the Proton e.MAS 5, Triumph's new motorcycle, the Trident 800, Mazda topping the vehicle safety list, and Rolls-Royce's status in Malaysia, among others.
