‘n “Regte Land Rover”
Wederhelf vertel toe onlangs aan ‘n vriendin dat ons (ook) ‘n Land Rover het. Toe ons op ‘n dag by hulle aankom, was hulle opmerklik onthuts omdat hulle ‘n Defender besit en ons nie ‘n “regtige” Land Rover besit nie!
Land Rover
Tested: 2011 Land-Rover Discovery 4 SDV6 HSE
The diverse behemoth
Land-Rover was one of the first companies to identify and attack the SUV market, bolstered by its experience with no-nonsense bundu bashers and luxury brawlers. The Discovery was launched in 1989 to neatly fill the gap between the basic Defender and suave Range Rover.
Tested: 2011 Range Rover Sport HSE Luxury
The sensible extravagance
Welcome to this week’s contradiction on wheels: the decidedly extravagant Range Rover powered by a sensible turbo-diesel engine. Half the appeal of a flashy R-R Sport was always its thundering beast of an engine so does this mean the Sport badge should be ripped off its backside?
Tested: 2011 Land-Rover Defender 110
The terrible toy
As per usual, I’m launching straight into a confession with this week’s review of the Land-Rover Defender 110: I actually own a Defender. I encouraged colleagues to write about the boxy Brit but somehow everyone was busy, thus I’ll try to be as objective and rational as possible.
Tested: 2010 Range Rover Sport Supercharged
The tough choice
Having recently had the pleasure of testing the big Range Rover Vogue, I am severely pleased that I don’t possess the bank balance to afford such a car. Yet. With the 2010 Range Rover Sport Supercharged taking up most of my driveway, I’m glad I don’t have to choose between the two.
Tested: 2010 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8
The big daddy
No time for chit-chat this week, I have a lot of stuff to work through with our latest test car, the Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8. If you think that name is quite long, you should cast your eyes upon the car itself. I can’t recall when last I drove a car that is, mostly, taller than me.
Bekendstelling: Tata Indica Vista
Die nuwe Tata Indica Vista is verlede week in die Paarl aan motorjoernaliste bekend gestel. Die Indica Vista is ‘n slinternuwe model en is van voor tot agter herontwerp en met ‘n nuwe enjin-ratkaskombinasie toegerus. En dit lyk of hierdie nuweling die wêreld vir sy mededingers gaan warm maak; ‘n kragtige en sterk nuwe spesery uit Indië!
Tested: Renault Koleos
A French vacation
Renault’s latest television commercial will have us believe that people have been using their dependable French cars as adventurous off-roaders for quite some time, which makes the first four-wheel-drive Renault a kind of big deal.
