Namibia's content-driven motoring portal
So here’s something different. Each year we list our favourite new cars which were launched over the last 12 months but this time around, instead of us telling you which ones we liked, our Facebook page invited YOU to vote your favourite new ride of 2016.
The list of candidates was chosen from the launches we attended or vehicles we thought were brilliant newcomers and worthy of being included in this line-up.
Have you noticed how some cars are starting to look the same? Not to name and shame, I can think of a few luxury marques whose range can only be deciphered by a veteran salesperson or the designer himself. Happily, Honda didn’t get that idea (yet), especially with their new Civic sedan.
Honda het vanaf die intrapslag in Suid-Afrika in die 1980’s ‘n reputasie opgebou as een van die mees betroubare en soliede vervaardigers van motors op die mark. Die feit dat Mercedes-Benz die nuwe Japannese motors onder hulle vleuels geneem het kon moontlik daartoe bygedra het. Feit is dat Honda en Mercedes se paaie geskei het maar die Japannees het sy goeie reputasie behou en bou steeds daarop voort. Die nuwe BR-V nutsvoertuig bou voort op hierdie tradisie.
Ag no man. Your mother-in-law is coming along on holiday and the kids want to take ALL their toys and sports equipment along. Where are you going to fit all of this?
Perhaps you have already invested in a sizable trailer and decent roof-top box but your car simply can’t handle more luggage. Well, we at NamWheels love to help and have compiled a list of cars with at least 400L of luggage space. Big enough to put your skoonma in the boot.
The motoring industry often develops its own names for certain genres of automobiles. Softroaders, MPV’s, Sports Sedans all denominate a category of car but none is more revered than the fabled Hot Hatch. After spending a week with Honda’s new Civic Type-R, I’d like to propose a rethink of that classification.
Here it is, ladies and gentlemen… the new Honda HR-V. Well, actually it’s not completely new. My neighbour got one half a year ago. Walter. Nice guy. You should also take note that this is not the CR-V, Honda’s slightly bigger and more famous SUV.
