Namibia's content-driven motoring portal
This is probably our favourite section but – SHHH! – please don’t tell the others! You’ll find our reviews on everything from hatchbacks to supercars in Afrikaans, English and German:
This review may be a little pointless as (a) my boss already wrote a piece on this car, (b) I already published a launch report and (c) I was supposed to test something else; which never arrived. So after a month-long drought of test cars I was so grateful that I decided to write a sneaky review on the new Hyundai Elantra.
Ich liebe Coupés. Diese Liebe führte dazu, daß ich mir neulichs sogar ein Coupé gekauft habe, obwohl es nicht das Fahrzeug auf dieser Seite ist. Die Schokoladenseite von nur zwei Türen und beinahe nutzlosen Hintersitzen ist daß ein Zweitürer zweifellos hübscher als jede Familienkutsche ist.
I love coupés. So much so that I recently bought one, although it’s not the one on this page. The pay-off for only having two huge parking-unfriendly doors and barely usable rear seats is that a coupé looks infinitely more attractive than any four-door sedan.
Something tells me the year is drawing to a close. The temperature has breached tolerable levels, the beach I frequent for irregular walks looks like the mall usually does on a Saturday and the jingle-laden mall itself looks like it’s about to burst at the seams.
Hang on, what’s going on here? Someone gave me a snazzy Peugeot 308CC when I had clearly reviewed the pretty French convertible last year. With rising summer temperatures and sunny skies abound, I wasn’t about to rectify their mistake though.
Nou onlangs het ek weer die voorreg gehad om ‘n Mazda onder hande te neem, die splinternuwe 2-reeks wat op die baie suksesvolle luikrug Mazda2 gebaseer is en in 2008 as die Suid-Afrikaanse Motor van die Jaar bekroon was.
Although I’m not exactly a fan of summer, I tend to agree with its fans when they complain about recurring climates with five sunny days followed by two days of miserable weather; otherwise referred to as a weekend.
The list of things I’m scared of has just grown; again. Right behind Tequila, cameras in bushes, spiders that are bigger than my shoe and the 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX comes the 2010 Subaru WRX.
Last week I got to test a car which was reasonably good looking but slightly feeble to drive. I could probably end my review here and let you get on with reading the weather report but I’d quite like to defend my statements; and the Chevrolet Captiva.
Sometime last month I won the lottery. Well, not really; but it felt like it when the phone rang and someone announced that they’re bringing over a limited edition Ford with, and I quote, “lots of wings and fins on it.” I knew exactly what they were talking about and immediately thought “Jackpot!”
