”Kalm, eenvoudig, prakties, bekostigbaar en familievoertuig.” Hierdie is die vyf gedagtes wat gewoontlik sinoniem is met Hyundai se Elantra. Dit het nog altyd gedien as deeglik ontwerpte, dog praktiese familie voertuig vir die langpad.
Since its inception in 2010, the Polo Vivo has been the best-selling car on the market. With the discontinuing of the “Citi” (MKI Golf) models, the Vivo became known as one of the best “value-for-money” packages. It sold 193,343 units since 2010. We were recently invited by Volkswagen South Africa to attend the launch of the all-new Polo Vivo in Port Elizabeth.
About a year ago, when the Western Cape was still cold and had relative water sources left, we took the Ranger FX4 3.2 Automatic on a camping excursion in the freezing Cederberg mountains. Proving an excellent mixture between a bakkie (workhorse) and a luxurious SUV, the FX4 took us through some of the toughest terrains.
The highly popular Honda Jazz brand will once again move forward with the introduction of a new Sport model. Taking the Jazz on a 180km roadtrip along the South-African east coast, we tested the abilities of the Jazz on the road, as well as the wet skid pan of Dezzi Raceway.
Nie te lank terug nie was Volvos gekenmerk as bokserige en oud-modiese voertuie. Iets wat nie werklik aanloklik is vir elke motoris nie. Wel, met die nuwe V90 reeks is hierdie seining beslis op sy kop gekeer. Nie net lok dit almal se oë op die pad nie, maar kom die kar in geheel baie naby aan perfeksie.
Honda recently invited us to the all-new 6th generation Honda Civic Type-R launch for flying laps on Dezzi Raceway in KZN. The aim was not to drool over the beautiful seaside, but to put the Type R to the test.
Volkswagen has been the top passenger car seller for the past seven years in South-Africa, with the manufacturer topping the sales list every month with their Polo Vivo and Polo models. In 2017 alone, it sold 22 916 units in South Africa. Every 1.57 seconds, the Uitenhage Plant produces a Polo to become someone’s new family member.
Bekend gestel binne die Suid-Afrikaanse mark, is die Toyota 86 vervaardig om binne die mark van klein, ligte, agterwiel-aangedrewe en vinnige pretpakkies te val. Nie net is die 86 veronderstel om vinnig te wees nie, maar ook geweldige pret te verskaf teen beide lae- en hoë spoed.
Etlike maande gelede het die Kuga naam redelike blootstelling gekry, maar dalk nie vir die regte redes nie. Ford as vervaardiger het redelik baie deurgemaak sedertdien en slegs 3 maande gelede het die vervaardiger ‘n nuwe “botox” Kuga model bekend gestel.
Galimoto media is onlangs genooi na Volkswagen se laaste bekendstelling (prettige verkenning) vir 2017. Vanaf die O.R Tambo lughawe sou die uitgestrekte pad ons oor ‘n afstand van 900km neem deur dorpe soos Parys, Kroonstad, Bultfontein, Soutpan, Bloemfontein en Kroonvaal.
