What do you get when you strip all the luxuries from a VW Caravelle and then, umm, put some of them back again? Tada… this new Transporter Kombi!

Tested: 2021 Suzuki Swift 1.2 GLX
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…
Sprint Review: Volkswagen T-Roc 2.0 TSi 4Motion R-Line
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
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.
International launch: Volkswagen Polo
Striking new look and features for the new Volkswagen Polo
Volkswagen just launched its restyled Polo – set to be introduced with a design similar to the new Golf 8 as well as an updated interior. This makes the new Polo look seemingly young and digitally integrated.
Tested: 2021 Volkswagen Caravelle 2.0 BiTDi Highline 4Motion
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.
Comparison: Volvo XC90 vs everyone else
Why is it always the poor Volvos we compare to other vehicles? We at NamWheels believe that they offer such refreshing alternatives to those regular market dominators that direct comparisons are absolutely necessary.
Tested: VW Tiguan 2.0 TDi 4Motion R-Line
More expensive is always the better, right?
To answer in short: No. Ask me what I would purchase with the odd R650,000 and I will without a doubt choose the Volkswagen Golf GTi or even Golf R. These two models are sublime and the ideal small family package for those more inclined to have a heavy right foot.
First Drive: Volkswagen T-Roc
Drive to Defy. Although my co-pilot and I were tempted to visit an appliance warehouse, what Volkswagen of South Africa meant by that tagline is that their new compact crossover is meant for the defiant among us. City slickers get a T-Cross, families should grab a Tiguan while the movers and shakers may welcome this new T-Roc.
