As one of Hinode’s very first automotive nameplates after the Mahkota, the Tempest has always been considered one of the company’s defining vehicles. With decades of engineering expertise and design finesse, the Tempest is the hallmark of the compact executive segment, with a reputation one could only hope to reach.
The 12th generation Tempest was released in 2014. It was designed and engineered in collaboration with Suisei Heavy Industries, who are experts in automotive engineering and styling. What resulted was an evolutionary design that kept the core of what made the Tempest what it is, while innovating to further enhance the car’s exceptional qualities.
The car shown in a 250 Prestige. It is the luxury trim on the Tempest, and is powered by a 2.5l inline six engine producing 215hp. The engine is equipped with direct injection, improving performance and fuel economy. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Truly a car that makes the genetic disease of being M*laysian more bearable…
With the demise of Uber in the country, the market seems to be fully controlled by one Grab app now as the company pretty much ruled the roost on the ride sharing market, as most other competitors weren’t making an massive impact.
But lately there is a new competitor in the form of MyRide, a new ride sharing app created by MYTec…

Driver Requirements:

At least 5 years of driving experience
A legit hail ride app driver license

Vehicle Requirements*:
C-seg or D-seg car/SUV manufactured in year 2014 and newer
No MPVs/vans/trucks/2-door vehicles
Must be a privately owned vehicle, owned by a Malaysian citizen
Engine year set at wrong time (1982 instead of 2014-2018)
Overly high repair costs ($1827.9, way much higher than the second highest entry)
Worst in class in drivability and reliability, with awful safety and meh efficiency/comfort
Weird engineering in some cases (ex. active suspension is too expensive for this price levels, 2v DOHC is too unrealistic for 2018)
I remember receiving a car for TMCC14 (which I hosted) whose engine also had a 2v DOHC head. Even considering the fact that TMCC14 was set in 1995, not 2018 as CSR153 was, the overly primitive head configuration (which would have been more appropriate for the 60s/70s) was enough for me to reject it straight away.
And regarding that Proton…
Hang on, didn’t I see this car before? It reminds me of something I received while judging QFC19:
They’re both built on the same body set (though not necessarily in the same size) and share many of the same exterior design features, so it’s no surprise the Proton looks like a facelift of the Everlast.
Not to clutter down BBAs thread, but 2V DOHC was used in lower end models of the Volvo 850 and S/V70 until the engine update was done in 1998, so banning it for being unrealistic in that class in 1995 is really a bit harsh.
