Subaru BRZ - Breezy, Sporty Fun!

Subaru BRZ - Breezy, Sporty Fun!

We like to entertain our listeners with a sports car review every now and then, and this time around, it’s Subaru BRZ’s turn to be under the spotlight. This car is worth considering if you’re looking for an adventurous ride that handles beautifully. Daniel recalls his experience driving the manual version of this car on a trip to Johor.

But before that, we look at the car industry in the UK and the slump it’s going through at the moment - what’s causing this decline?

In our news segment, we indulge in some speculation - is there a new Proton car on the horizon to rival the Perodua Ativa, Honda WR-V and Chery Tiggo Cross? Speaking of Chery Tiggo Cross, its first locally-assembled production batch has just rolled out, just in time to compete with others. Vespa is also joining in on the fun, releasing the latest versions of their iconic Primavera and Sprint. Over in China, Xpeng teased its sporty sedan, the P7, making us wonder, as always, whether this car will make its way here, before 2025 ends.
