Namibia's content-driven motoring portal
Did you design your own house? Have you got a truly puzzling music collection? You have an iguana instead of a retriever, don’t you? If you refuse to go mainstream by getting a Golf GTi and have been longing for something rather eccentric with a dash of fun, meet the Volvo C30 T5 R-Design.
I’m quite sure that I’ve mentioned my love for coupés before, so our invitation to the new Volkswagen Scirocco R launch in Durban resulted in a brief rock-paper-scissors competition at the office, won by yours truly. Perhaps I cheated, perhaps I didn’t, but a few days later I was jetted off to KZN.
Met die bekendstelling van die nuwe Fluence, was die plaaslike bestuur van Renault baie eerlik om te erken dat alles die afgelope paar jaar in Suid-Afrika nie reg geloop het nie. Hulle is ook baie ernstig om dit reg te stel en om so die negatiewe persepsies wat kopers van die modelle en diens het, om te swaai.
The hardest part about reviewing cars is not the constantly fluctuating garage contents, vastly differing car controls, losing CD’s and ipod cables, chasing after missing sunglasses and house keys, nor the brief confusion in multi-story car parks because you forgot which car you’re driving.
Hang on, what’s going on here? Someone gave me a snazzy Peugeot 308CC when I had clearly reviewed the pretty French convertible last year. With rising summer temperatures and sunny skies abound, I wasn’t about to rectify their mistake though.
Although I’m not exactly a fan of summer, I tend to agree with its fans when they complain about recurring climates with five sunny days followed by two days of miserable weather; otherwise referred to as a weekend.
In order to entertain all three of my regular readers (and myself) I have decided to prematurely abuse the whole you-know-what world cup fever and give this review a bit of a soccer feel. So strap on your matching scarf and shirt, get ready to sing the Marseillaise and put your hands together for the brand new Renault Megane Coupé.
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!
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.
