Tested: 2018 Mahindra KUV100 Nxt 1.2 D75 K8
Compact SUV’s are proliferating faster than an alley of stray cats. The Indian Mahindra corporation is relatively new to this game with their KUV100 range – this time we test-drove the turbo-diesel model.
Tested: 2018 Suzuki Jimny GLX AllGrip
The iconic spiel
Ford Mustang, Ferrari F40, Mercedes 300SL Gullwing. All of these are legends in their own right and will get you plenty of attention but if you need a little more – right now I guarantee it – just get yourself the brand-new Suzuki Jimny.

Tested: 2018 Kia Sportage 2.0 Ignite Plus (Auto)
The tasteful basics
Where are the keyless touch-screen gadgets? Not here, thank Heavens…
Sprint Review: 2019 Mercedes-Benz C200 Cabriolet AMG Line
Yoh, that’s pretty. How much does it cost?
You need to know: Three times. That’s how often I got asked about this car’s price in less than 12 hours. A lot of that may be down to this press unit’s striking combination of black metallic paint, sleek light clusters on every corner, pincushion Mercedes radiator grill, pale beige interior and AMG Line goodies.

Sprint Review: 2018 Hyundai Kona 1.0T Executive
Hey, you know what? We don’t have enough compact SUV crossover thingies in our market, we need more compact SUV crossover vehicles. Inhale, feel the sarcasm, exhale. Hyundai is all-too-happy to assist us…
