THE phrase “you drive like a grandma” is often used to describe someone driving slowly and cautiously.
One Malaysian grandmother is breaking that stereotype with her effortless and confident handling of the high-performance Honda Civic Type R FL5.
TikTok user @anas_mikael shared a one-minute video of his grandmother behind the wheel of the sports car, impressing viewers with her smooth driving skills.
In the video, he humorously captioned her reaction to the car’s power:
“Opah said this seat is really comfortable, but the moment she pressed a bit, VTEC kicked in right away.”
For those unfamiliar with the vehicle, the Honda Civic Type R FL5 is a high-performance hatchback featuring a turbocharged engine and a six-speed manual transmission—requiring skill and precision to drive.
