- Renault joins the SUV Tribe Alex Fergusen February 19, 2020 At a glance, Renault’s new model looks like a grown-up Kwid, dressed up as an SUV, but Renault assured us that besides being built in the same factory in India, the new Renault Triber is built from the ground up. The Triber is a regular sized car that Renault...
- Datsun Go gets an automatic CVT gearbox Alex Fergusen November 29, 2019 The new Datsun GO CVT (Constant Velocity Gearbox) is the Japanese manufacturers latest offering in the closely contested affordable small-car segment in South Africa – but just how much value do you get out of this package? We drove the newly launched GO in Joburg during the national launch...
- Launch Review: 2018 Kia Sportage Alex Fergusen November 26, 2018 The Kia Sportage is arguably the Korean manufacturers claim to fame. The Sportage is quoted by Kia executives to almost exist as a brand on its own, speaking to how many units have found homes around the world. Kia Sportage is four generations old, and with this, the new...

- 5 Things you may not know about the Toyota Etios Sport Alex Fergusen October 31, 2018 The new Etios Sport is set apart by the two-tone colour scheme, sports badge, digital gauge display, 4 speaker sound system (with USB), front fog lamps, dual airbags and ABS with EBD. But there’s more to the popular Etios Sport than just some upgrades, here are 5 things you...
- Road Test: Mazda 2 Alex Fergusen July 30, 2018 The Mazda 2 competes in a market already highly contested by the likes of the Hyundai i20, VW Polo, Renault Clio and Ford Fiesta. The Mazda 2 differentiates itself by being loaded with features that would ordinarily be optional extras. The 2 is modelled off the SkyActive platform, which...
- Brand new Nissan Micra arrives in SA Alex Fergusen June 25, 2018 With South Africa’s small car market booming, manufacturers are doing everything within their power to stay ahead of the curve. Nissan has followed suit and have released a car that tries to punch above its weight. They aim to kickstart sales at around 300 units per month with an...
- Road Test: Mahindra Pik-Up 2.2CRDe Double Cab 4×4 S10 Alex Fergusen May 21, 2018 Interior and Exterior Apart from the front end, the new Pik-Up doesn’t look all that different to its predecessors from the outside. The front grille design has been slightly altered along with the rear cab protector. The interior however, is where the major changes lie. The overall package has...
- Dakar Desert Delay for Toyota Gazoo Alex Fergusen January 11, 2018 The South African Toyota Gazoo racing team saw unprecedented events on day four of the Dakar, with two of the Hilux’s running into trouble early on in the stage. Nasser Al Attiyah had two flat tyres early in the race and was forced to proceed cautiously after using both...
