In this episode, Daniel brings us a story of a person who has successfully rescued his flood-stricken Subaru XV from the muddy pits of despair, before we discuss a viral case of insurance fraud, dashcams and motor oil prices going up. In Part 2, we talk Volvo's first batch of XC40 Recharge electric cars, the huge local and global demand for the Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86, and BMW's extremely divisive new flagship 7-series.

Finally in Part 3, weeks after Daniel Fernandez called the V60 a 'long hot hatch', Ariff finally gets his turn with the Volvo V60 T8 Inscription, taking it on a 1,200km road trip around Peninsular Malaysia. He details his journey to Kota Bharu for keropok, reports on what makes this Volvo V60 such a fantastic car, and discusses why he feels wagons make so much more sense on our roads. Will this convince you to get yourself a wagon?
