Tested: 2020/1 Volkswagen e-Golf

5 Feb 20233 Feb 2023 by Hanjo Stier

Padtoets: 2022 Volkswagen Caddy Cargo 1.6 Panelvan

26 Aug 2022 by Franco Theron

“Volkswagen se gewilde nuwe Caddy is as te ware ’n wenresep, wanneer dit kom by die vervoer van groeiende families, of om talle persone oor ’n afstand te neem. Met die nuwe Caddy reeks, is die voertuig nou selfs nog meer ruim en gemakliker, te danke aan die MQB platform, wat ook in die Golf 8 en Polo gevind word.

Tested: 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4 TSi R-Line

14 Mar 2022 by Hanjo Stier

How handsome is the car on this page, hey? Look at its chiselled jaw, those sparkling eyes and the functional interior… but is it any good to drive?

Tested: 2021 Suzuki Swift 1.2 GLX

27 Sep 2021 by Hanjo Stier

The Suzuki Swift has picked up where the VW Polo and Vivo left off. There, I said it! While Volkswagen and the rest of the car world tear each other to pieces for any morsel of the premium markets, Suzuki is left smiling all the way to the budget bank…

6 Aug 2021 by Hanjo Stier

Oh good, another crossover SUV. But instead of spitting sarcasm and ranting all day, I’ll try to give you a good impression of this new Volksie…

Tested: 190kW Volkswagen Amarok V6 Tdi

2 Jul 20212 Jul 2021 by Franco Theron

Many manufacturers stick ‘sport’ badges on their top-tier models, knowing fully well that it might not be sporty at all. The new more-powerful 3.0 litre v6 Amarok, rather deserves this badge, yet silently springs a surprise on keen challengers.

Tested: 2021 Volkswagen Caravelle 2.0 BiTDi Highline 4Motion

3 Nov 20211 Apr 2021 by Hanjo Stier

This… is one of the toughest reviews I’ve ever had to write. What started out as a bunch of small niggles eventually became a torrent of hated irritations and unbelievable faux-pas from one of my favourite cars… the Volkswagen Kombi / Caravelle.
