The road trip
How many times have you traveled the B1 to South Africa? We’ve lost count but thought you might want to read about our latest return trip in a very strange little SUV…
dCi
Tested: Renault Duster dCi AWD
The dirty prospect
Namibian and South Africans love cheap cars almost as much as their adventurous, outdoorsy lifestyle. Hence it will come as no surprise to anyone that affordable SUV’s are on the up and Renault S.A. jumped at the opportunity to bring their budget bruiser, the Duster, to our local shores.
Tested: Nissan Juke 1.5dCi Acenta+
The difficult show
It’s jolly difficult to start a review of Nissan’s Juke without diving head-first into its most distinguishing feature: those looks. Upon seeing it, some people repeatedly gasp for air and struggle to string together a set of deserving expletives while others smirk, smile and giggle at the sight of this odd-looking crossover.
Bekendstelling: Renault Duster
Renault se nuwe Duster 4×2 en 4×4 gaan Namibiërs verras
Met die onlangse bekendstelling van sy veeldoelige Duster in die C-SUV segment is Renault SA oortuig dat hierdie nuweling in die Renault stal ook in Namibië en Suid-Afrika die ongekende sukses gaan behaal as wat die geval in Rusland, Indië en Brasilië was.
Tested: 2011 Nissan X-Trail 2.0 DCi LE (A)
The versatile box
I think I may be in trouble here; after a business emergency prompted my premature exit from the recent Nissan X-Trail launch I completely forgot to write a report on the face-lifted car. In all fairness, I never drove the new X-Trail until my press demonstrator arrived last week.
Geskiedenis: Renault Clio
Familiemotor en ook vierwiel Mirage
Dit is nou 20 jaar wat die Renault Clio in ons midde is en nog steeds die koppe laat draai. Die opvolger van die befaamde Renault 5, wat in die sewentigs en tagtigs by uitstek die motor van dames met styl was, en ook vurige jong mans wat met die TS modelle die pad aan die brand gery het, het ‘n hele paar jaar later by ons sy opwagting gemaak; dit nadat hy in Frankryk reeds diep spore getrap het.
Tested: Renault Grand Scenic dCi
The versatile van
Last week I was presented with a bit of a problem. The instance that the cheerful Renault guys dropped off a brand-new Grand Scenic at my home I realised that I had no proper means of testing it. With so much room at my disposal it became abundantly clear that I had no wife and hence, even fewer children to strap to its modern seats.
Padtoets: Renault Megane dCi Dynamique
Dynamique, magnifique!
Ek kan aan geen slim opmerking dink om ‘n ekstra stertjie by te voeg by die opskrif van hierdie artikel nie behalwe die woord magnifique. Die rede: my Frans is regtig gebrekkig. Maar dit beteken nie dat ek opgewonde was oor die splinternuwe Renault Megane luikrug nie!
Tested: 2010 Renault Megane dCi Dynamique
Dynamique, magnifique!
I’m afraid I can’t think of any clever lines or catchy quotes for this week’s car, probably because my French is so rotten. That didn’t diminish my enthusiasm for NamWheels’ latest test vehicle; the new Renault Megane hatchback.
Tested: Nissan X-Trail 2.0 DCi LE
The wedding planner
Ideally you only get married once in your life and the general consensus is that you share the memorable day with loved ones and friends. As a fully paid up member of the latter group I was kindly invited to attend the big day of two great friends in an idyllic getaway resort on the wrong side of Riviersonderend.
