If you take a peek into someone’s car, you’ll probably get a glimpse of their life. For many of us, the car isn’t just a way to get around, it’s a place where we keep the things we need to stay prepared for… well, anything.
We asked people what essentials they keep in their cars & here’s what they shared…

Animal lover, Aishah Fatihah always has packets of pet food in her car’s backseat and boot, so that whenever she sees stray cats and dogs, she can stop to feed them.

As a father of 4, Iqbal Mahat knows the importance of staying prepared. He always keeps his baby kit in his car. It contains baby wipes, diapers, towels, plastic bags, small blankets and pillows. “My car is almost like a moving toilet or changing room,” he laughed.
Emergency & picnic essentials

The boot of Nurkhalida Ahmad Shabery’s is a treasure chest! She never leaves home without foldable chairs, picnic mats, a mini fire extinguisher, and emergency clothes for herself and her kids. “Yes, my car is packed,” she said, “but it gives me peace of mind knowing I’m ready for anything.”

Nor Azlina Nordin keeps a stash of duit raya packets in her car for last-minute kenduri invites. She also carries masks, mint candies to keep her awake during long drives, plastic bags for motion sickness, and plasters for minor emergencies.
It’s clear that our cars aren’t just vehicles — they’re personal spaces that adapt to our lives.
That’s why it’s important to have a car that’s spacious, practical and reliable — and Honda City checks all these boxes!
