Thinking About A Classic Volkswagen Beetle?

In the news this week, we look at Malaysia's need to invest more in our local riders and drivers, and how building more racetracks around Malaysia can help spur the local motorsport community. We also discuss the 2020 Honda City's new i-MMD engine, a stripped-down MINI Cooper JCW GP, and an all-electric Mini Cooper SE with an attractive price tag. 

As for our Used-Car Buying Guide, we find out what makes the classic Volkswagen Beetle so special, and why you might consider getting one if you're looking to live a little.
