Toyota is an automotive company which really and truly puzzles me. I’m sure there are good reasons for it but why does one of the biggest players have to co-develop or badge engineer models?
Daihatsu
Padtoets: 2020 Toyota Agya 1.0
Agya neem die aflos oor…
Motor kritici het oor die afgelope paar jare geweldig baie pret gehad om vervaardigers soos Renault en Datsun teen die mure uit te dryf en aanhoudend terug na die dinkskrum te stuur om modelle soos die Kwid en Datsun Go te verbeter.
Top List: best non-4×4 ground clearance
Do you bang the middle man?
(is jy bang vir die middelmannetjie?) So you live on a plaas but don’t have / want a 4×4. Here’s a list of affordable cars with high ground clearance that are not 4×4, SUV’s, AWD, Crossovers, Bakkies, LCV’s, etc.
Tested: 2012 Daihatsu Terios Diva
Dallying with a Diva
I love surprises… especially in unexpected packaging and totally out of the blue. Consequently, I was delighted to get the opportunity to review a Terios Diva – the latest Daihatsu SUV catering specifically to ladies.
Launched: Toyota Innova
The big badge
Toyota is on the rebound after a few reliability niggles landed them on the wrong end of a witch hunt. Old foes and new competitors are clawing at market share so the Japanese giant had to think fast and aims to fight back with increased quality and quantity of products.
Padtoets: Daihatsu Terios 7-sitplek 4×2
Spasie vir die nasie!
Die huidige Daihatsu Terios is reeds vanaf 2006 op die Namibiese en Suid-Afrikaanse mark en is gevestig as ‘n betroubare en gewilde Sportnutsvoertuig. Die nuwe langbakweergawe is beskikbaar in beide 4×4 en 4×2 weergawes, laasgenoemde met sinvolle agterwiel- aandrywing.
Bekendstelling: Nuwe Hyundai i10
Ideale stadsmotor, maar ook vir die langpad.
Verby is die dae waar jy met die koop van ‘n intreevlak motor met net die basiese tevrede moes wees. Die nuwe opgeknapte i10 stel nuwe standaarde vir klein motors teen ‘n bekostigbare prys. Die i10 spog met ‘n hele lys van standaard kenmerke wat mens onlangs net in duurder modelle aangetref het.
Tested: 2010 Suzuki Jimny
The mountain goat
Good news and bad news. The good news is that I’ve just tested an automotive icon which most of my peers describe in an animated fashion; the bad news is that I haven’t got the foggiest idea how to review it.
Tested: 2010 Daihatsu Terios 4×4
The cheerful companion
Every now and then you come across a car that’s not only good fun to drive but also proves an absolute hit with friends and acquaintances. I’ll try to explain this phenomenon as best I can, as it happened this week with the Daihatsu Terios.
