Padtoets: Toyota Avanza 1.5 SX

5 September 201720 April 2012 by Chris de Wit

Toyota Avanza 1.5 SX pas almal se sak en behoeftes

Op die voorblad van die glansbrosjure waarin Toyota die nuwe Avanza-reeks bekendstel is daar, behalwe die Avanza foto’s, ook afbeeldings van ‘n ry skoene van verskillende groottes wat ‘n familie voorstel. Daarmee word die boodskap oorgedra dat die Avanza beantwoord aan al die behoeftes en doeleindes van almal in enige familie. Die boodskap van die nutswaarde van die huidige generasie Avanza’s kan beswaarlik beter oorgedra word as die manier waarop hierdie illustrasie dit doen.

Tested: 2012 Lexus IS350

The exquisite groove

Performance sedans have become a bit of a rarity and especially entry-level candidates like the Jetta CLi and Corolla RXi were callously shoved off the scene by their popular hot hatch equivalents. The new entry now starts with hasty mid-size luxury saloons; like the Lexus IS350.

Tested: 2012 Mitsubishi ASX

The flash accessory

Vying for your attention this week is the Mitsubishi ASX, a crossover SUV that arrived fashionably late in the world of “Honey, let’s buy a 4×4 that isn’t a 4×4.” You or I could criticise and mock all we like but this niche of the market is alive and well.

The split shuttle

Monday, 23 January 2012, Kuils River. The glamorous honours of our first launch report for 2012 go to the decidedly unglamorous Hyundai H1 Multicab. Still, I encourage you to read on as this vehicle is big on space, big on versatility and big on value for money.

Bekendstelling: Lexus IS 350

9 September 20199 December 2011 by Dr Hans Heese

’n nuwe standaard vir verrigting en elegansie

Lexus het in November hulle nuwe middelslag IS 350 EX en SE modelle in die Suid-Kaap bekendgestel en motorjoernaliste kon na hartelus hierdie luukse motor met sy hoë verrigting deur die Outeniekwa- en Robinsonpasse looi. En sommige van hierdie joernaliste het omtrent gelooi!

Tested: 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser

The retro sponge

Retro is irrefutably trendy and whereas some may dismiss it as a passing fad, old school remains cool. Exhibit A through C in the automotive world would be the new Mini, Fiat 500 and Beetle. The not-so latest retro attempt is the cool FJ Cruiser made by, sharp intake of breath, Toyota.

Nog verder verfyn

Dit is ‘n gegewe feit dat Namibiers (en Suid-Afrikaners) oor die algemeen nou maar eenmaal gebore agternalopers is, maar darem in die figuurlike sin van die woord. Dit kan gesien word oor die breë spektrum van haas elke aspek van hulle algemene lewenspatroon hetsy sy voorkeur kos, kuns, kleredrag, sport en, dan natuurlik, sy rygoed.

Launched: 2011 Toyota Auris Hybrid & TRD

The polar opposites

It’s tough at the top and even tougher to stay there – something Toyota Motors South Africa is keen to achieve by giving their product line up a thorough seeing to. Their immediate plan appears to include a dash of excitement and further riding of the hybrid wave.

Padtoets: 2011 Toyota Innova 2.7

25 July 201714 November 2011 by Chris de Wit

Toyota se nuwe familiemotor

Toyota sal sekerlik die vergelyking verskoon as mens sou sê dat die eerste kennismaking met die veeldoelige Innova (MPV) jou laat dink aan die seuntjie wat op sy eerste dag skool toe gaan in ‘n broek, baadjie en skoene wat ooglopend te groot vir hom is.

Bekendstelling: Toyota Hilux reeks [2011]

7 November 201724 October 2011 by Chris de Wit

Toyota brei sy Hilux reeks uit

Sedert die eerste verskyning van Toyota se Hilux bakkies in Suid-Afrika in 1969 het hierdie handelsnaam byna ikoniese status bereik; ook in Namibië. Weg was die groot en swaar Amerikaanse 6- en 8-silinder dorstige bakkies en het hierdie 1.5 liter met die kort wielbasis die meer ekonomiese alternatief in veral die landboubedryf geword.
