What Went On The Last Time COE Prices Were At Record Highs?
COE prices are seemingly at their all-time highs. Category B and E COEs now north of S$90,000, with even motorbike COEs well into five-digit territory.

mReview: Honda HR-V 1.5 DX - All Grown Up
For many Singaporeans, the Honda HR-V (and its PI Vezel counterpart) is the closest we have ever been to having a national car since 2014, found almost everywhere around the island. And now, it has a successor.
We are quite pleased with how much the HR-V has evolved. Its avant-garde futuristic design brings it up to speed with the rest of the compact SUV competition, while retaining Honda’s signature day-to-day practicality.
