One of the first official press cars I ever received was a jet black Renault Koleos. Back then I was in awe of this new ride and our market wasn’t bulging with SUV’s yet. Let’s see what this second generation is like, shall we?
Sprint Reviews
Short ‘n sweet, to the point. These are our no-frills Sprint Reviews:
Sprint Review: 2019 Toyota Aygo X-Cite
Student, senior, tourist, retiree, single parent and/or young working person? These are doubtless the main targets for a small and affordable Toyota hatchback. But don’t despair, even if you don’t fit into some (or any) of those marketing brackets, the Aygo could serve you well.
Sprint Review: 2019 Mahindra XUV500 2.2 CRDe W10
Another day, another SUV. Thanks to our insatiable thirst for high-riding station wagons, even firms like Mahindra are getting in (or staying) on the action. We test the top-spec XUV500.
Sprint Review: Hyundai Kona 1.0T Executive
When Hyundai S.A. gave us another turn in their Kona 1.0T Executive, we threw the keys at our lady journo and she came back with this report…
Sprint Review: 2019 Mazda MX-5 RF
A new car, lots of information in short paragraphs.
What you need to know: We actually tested this model before, about a year ago and in exactly the same colour. Back then I described its heavy automated roof (plus 160kg) and automatic box-o-cogs as giant flies in the otherwise enjoyable soup of MX-5 deliciousness. Has anything changed?
Sprint Review: Volkswagen Golf R
Sitting atop the Golf family tree and also jostling for position in the uber-hot hatch category, we took a quick spin in this Vrr-Phah monster to see what’s new for 2018/19.
Sprint Review: Ford Fiesta 1.0T Titanium Auto
Good breeding, clever design and cool colours – surely this is a winning recipe?
Sprint Review: Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDi EX
Does anybody still buy big MPV van things? Kia certainly thinks – or hopes – so.
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…
