Toyota Corolla Quest vs Honda Ballade
Here are the reviews of the big Rivals:
ALFA ROMEO 4C DRIVEN
Bar the 8C Competizione, the Italian company has failed in recent years to emulate the essence of what made it one of the most highly regarded automobile makers in the world, but that’s all about to change with the introduction of the Alfa Romeo 4C. Assembled at Maserati’s Modena plant in Italy the 4C’s balanced form is […]
PORSCHE MACAN S, TURBO DRIVEN
It’s a sweltering day as the temperature in Ras Al Khaimah, one of the emirates making up the UAE, creeps towards the 40-degree mark. Counter-intuitively, our hosts have plotted a route that leads us away from the coast where the balmy waters of the Persian Gulf lap onto the shore. Instead, we’re headed to the […]
CHEVROLET SONIC RS DRIVEN
Since its inception, Chevrolet’s Sonic has done rather well for the General Motors brand. In fact, in the most recent Ipsos (formerly Synovate) quality survey, the Sonic, in sedan form, came first in the small sedan category. The Sonic may have ticked a lot of boxes, however, one thing it could never claim to be was inspiring […]
MERCEDES-BENZ A45 AMG DRIVEN
The A45 is AMG’s first attempt at the four-cylinder performance concept and although lacking half the cylinders of a traditional AMG V engine the final result isn’t any different. You still get a hand-built mill replete with signature plaque and all the theatrics and styling garnishes expected from an AMG product. However, unlike the V8s […]
LAND ROVER BRINGS DISCO 4 OVERLANDER TO SA
Land Rover SA has introduced a Discovery 4 with coil suspension designed specifically for adventurers and intended to broaden the appeal of this stylish 4×4. Carrying the XS designation, Land Rover has stripped away much of the Discovery’s traditionally luxurious specification, such as a sunroof. Features include 18-inch alloy wheels, climate control, cruise control, and […]
FORD KUGA DRIVEN
If you felt cheated by Ford’s decision to introduce the first generation Kuga in South Africa five years after the rest of the world, you can finally sleep easy. The all-new Kuga has arrived in South Africa packed with clever features and safety equipment and at prices that might surprise. South Africa’s pool of compact […]
VW’S OGIER SEALS WRC WIN NUMBER 3
Two Volkswagen drivers, led by Sebastien Ogier, stood on the Rally Portugal podium on Sunday as the team surged to the top of the manufacturer’s championship. Ogier and co-driver Julien Ingrassia won the Rally Portugal ahead of Citroen’s Mikko Hirvonen and VW’s Jari-Matta Latvala. Dr Ulrich Hackenberg, the VW board member responsible for technical management […]
Dieter Rencken – not so fan-tastic
MONZA IS FORMULA ONE’S high temple of speed, the fastest and oldest circuit on the trail, home to red-clad tifosi, those rabid racing fans named after a particularly virulent strain of typhoid. The North Italian venue, situated deep within Ferrari’s heartland, is an easy drive from France, Switzerland, Germany, Austria and various emerging eastern bloc states and is […]
