2011 Toyota Aygo Wild
I finally got to test drive the new Toyota Aygo and when I first saw the car close up in real life I was like “what the @#$%!” Seriously now, this car is really small and interior styling is very basic, it felt worse than the 130 Tazz. But then again what market where Toyota […]
2011 VW Polo 1.4 Comfortline
I was a bit sceptical about buying another Volkswagen, considering problems I had with my previous one. But I decided to give VW another chance. As you know I posted about problems that I experienced with the new Polo, which VW didn’t actually sort out but was sorted out by doing the first 15000km service. […]
2011 Hyundai i20 1.6
There was one word that came to me after driving the Hyundai i20 1.6… Brilliant! If I was told to just write one word for this review that is the word I’d use. By the way Rod is the lucky owner of this fine machine. And he got a good deal on it as well, […]
Suzuki Swift 1.5 GLS 2010
The other week I went to Jo’burg on a business trip and the rental that I was given a 2010 Suzuki Swift, a below midrange budget vehicle. Upon first glance the Swift was not harsh on the eyes, compact with a clean design, no unnecessary styling involved, but with a sporty edge to it. The […]
Seat Ibiza Cupra 2008
At the beginning of 2010 a chommie of mine from work bought a 2008 Seat Ibiza Cupra, and he got it at a steal. His previous car was the 2006 Ibiza FR, but that will be in another post. For now I’m gonna review the Ibiza Cupra. Just a quick spec overview…, this machine runs […]
Nissan Tiida
I drove a 2009 Nissan Tiida recently, it was Rod’s courtesy car when his Auris was at the panel shop. I wasn’t expecting much from the ugly looking car. But after driving a few kilometers I started to realise a few things about it. It had all that you need in a car. There was safety… ABS and […]
2010 Citroen DS3
During the 2010 Soccer World Cup, I invited some of my friends over for a braai. Justin, who is a Sales Manager at Citroen, showed up with his DS3. We all marvelled at the design as he pull up to the house. This car was definitely setting it’s own trends, everything about the car looked […]
Toyota AurisX 1.3
When Toyota launched the facelift AurisX hatch range they released a 1.3l version. This caught my attention. I thought to myself “what were they thinking! A 1300 engine in that big body!” Curiosity got the better of me so I went over to the nearest Toyota dealership and arranged to test drive the AurisX 1.3. […]
