C3 AirCross 1.2T Shine - French Connection

Citroen has returned to South Africa again and have brought with them a host of new models. We took the all new C3 AirCross for test and found it to be rather agreeable. Many of our colleagues thought so too as the C3 has been named as a finalist in the 2020 AutoTrader Car of the Year competition.

Honda Amaze 1.2 Comfort Review: Foreigner in a strange land

In a market segment dominated by hatchbacks and crossovers, the small sedan is slowly dying out, casualties of the SUV-pocalypse along with their larger brethren. But some manufacturers are staying the course, and continue to offer a range of sedans, from big to small. Of these, the Honda Amaze is one of the smallest. We drove one for a week, to find out if this format still offers the optimal solution to today’s transport needs.

Peugeot 108 Review: When safety comes first.

Driving the little Peugeot 108 in a typically congested traffic scenario makes a strong case for this pint-sized city slicker. It need only a whiff of petrol to keep moving, and its dimensions makes it easy to thread through traffic. It surrounds its people with airbags, guards them with ESC, and has a nifty touchscreen to boot. The fact that it’s quite affordable is a nice surprise, too. But there are some downsides…

Suzuki Ertiga Review: If rationality ruled the world…

The MPV craze had a very short duration in South Africa. While Europe and North America enjoyed a very passionate affair with these practical people movers for more than two decades, our local market only started receiving a real variety just as the buying public’s focused shifted to the Next Big Thing: SUVs. Is there still room for MPVs in the modern world? We lived with a Suzuki Ertiga for a week, to find out.

Isuzu D-MAX X-Rider Black: Knight Rider's back, but as a bakkie!

Eighties kids may remember a youthful David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight in his highly-customised black 1982 Pontiac Firebird affectionately known as KITT, an artificially intelligent, self-driving car that had a weapons system as well as razor-sharp wit as standard. While the Isuzu X-Rider may not have any semi-autonomous equipment, it may just bombard you with its rock-star looks and bad-boy attitude. Let's see what else makes the X-Rider special.

Suzuki Ciaz, the business sedan on a budget

"Business sedan.” Not really what springs to mind when you hear the word Suzuki, now is it? Well, it should be, if you're money-savvy and perhaps saving for a deposit on an apartment or house. Who needs a premium sedan if you can get by with something decent that will cost you much less every month?
