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:
The key I currently have in my pocket will grant access to a Peugeot 207 of sorts with, umm… This manufacturer is rather stingy with their badges so that’s all I know for now. I’m unsure what engine it has but can report about the presence of five doors and a solid roof so it’s neither the GTi nor the flip-top CC.
Who would’ve thought that one day you’d be reading about an exciting new luxury car from Hyundai, or discover that the car in question manages to turn heads and initiate fights between motoring journalists when the keys are being handed out.
By the time you read this the chaps at Suzuki should have calmed down to a mild panic. Firstly, I put astronomical mileage on the Swift Sport press demonstrator and then I evaded most of their attempts to reclaim the car.
Oh joy. A negligible part of my driveway is currently being occupied by yet another zippy and affordable hatchback. Don’t get me wrong, I quite like this segment but its members are always a pain in the you-know-what to review.
Ach, wie toll. Ein unscheinbarer Teil meiner Einfahrt wird grade bewohnt von noch einem flinken und preiswerten Kleinwagen. Das heißt nicht, daß ich billige Flitzer nicht mag. Mir gefällt dieses Teil des Automarkts, aber seine Mitglieder sind nicht immer einfach zu bewerten.
Shortly before composing this text I closed the curtains, made myself a cup of tea, killed all telephones and put on some Type 0 Negative. I want my peace and quiet. A week of driving the Chevrolet Lumina SS UTE has completely saturated my need for attention.
Vor ein paar Minuten habe ich die Gardinen zugezogen und mir eine Tasse Tee gekocht, dann alle Telefone ausgeschaltet und Type O Negative aufgelegt. Ich will endlich meine Ruhe haben. Eine Woche hinter’m Steuer des Chevrolet Lumina SS UTE hat mein Geltungsbedürfnis beinahe zum platzen gebracht.
What wonderfully changing weather we’ve had recently, hopefully spring will grace us with an extended presence before the agony of summer sets in. Yes, you may safely assume that I dislike summer and yes, you may safely assume that I am waffling severely.
I could swear that I’ve already tested a Nissan Qashqai not too dissimilar from the one that’s grinning at me from my driveway. Didn’t I already tell you that the little cross-over with its lively engine is wonderful to drive?
MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde sounds like an item off a posh Italian restaurant menu. In true Mediterranean fashion, the top-of-the-line MiTo turned out to be just as palatable though. Allow me to quickly unravel the various components of its name for you.
