Tested: 2018 Audi TT RS
The hot gospel
Did you know that the Ford Focus is the best-handling hatchback (“…in the world”), American cars can’t go around corners, every petrolhead needs to own an Alfa and the Nürburgring is 21km long?

Bekendstelling: Toyota Hilux Xtra Cab
‘n Nuwe speelmaat in die buurt
Toyota se Hilux bakkies is as ware ‘n huishoudelike naam in die plaaslike motorbedryf en sal heel moontlik in veral die plattelandse gebiede beskou word as Suid-Afrika se nasionale voertuig. Deur die jare heen het die Hilux bakkies van Toyota amper ikoon status bereik wat veral geskoei was op die byna legendariese betroubaarheid van hierdie werkesels.
Tested: 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland
