Opel Grandland (2025) Road-Trip Review
A shimmering bronze-coloured Opel Grandland in GS Line graced my driveway for just over a week. Although it looks like more of a city crossover, it proved itself on our weekend getaway to a picturesque trout farm near Rawsonville. With so many other great cars in this segment, can Opel gain a foothold, though?

After a bit of visual flair in the compact crossover segment? The handsome Opel Mokka will satisfy your passion for stylish and fashion-forward design, but does it have other talents that impress? We spent seven days in the GS Line model to find out if it's a solid long-term investment.

Opel Corsa Elegance 1.2T (2021) Review — The unassuming A-lister
The Volkswagen Polo has become as trendy as the Golf used to be a decade or so ago, and the Kariega factory can hardly keep up with the demand. But there's a new kid in town that will never be quite as popular, yet has enough talent to make the A-team, and perhaps even beat the Polo to the value punch. We drove the flagship Corsa to get better acquainted.
