This all-new G20 3-Series is proof that BMW is still willing to put the best of what it has into the previously-compact sedan line-up. We tested the latest ‘beemer’ (I was told unrelentlessly) BMW 330i and heard turner it turned out to be. Things are particularly elegant inside, where you’ll find an abundance of good-quality […]
Locals in that part of the world are known for being loose in accentuating things- so I obliged to their wont- as a result of a snorkel perched on the left. How and why I landed in the ‘Capital City’ not once but twice–the crooner Joe Thomas was in the country serenading anything and everything […]

Recently we also tested the sister bakkie Changan SC- and fell in amor with it! In came along the Landwind SUV to play with and it complied, […]
Mini- I disagree ‘cos it can load the unexpected as we headed to NW in my village to drop goodies for my Gran. Packed with 1243cc 4-cylinder petrol engine and 72kW/119Nm minivan derivative- I was impressed to say the least and to tell the truth wouldn’t mind cajoling with it or owning one. Yes, we […]

Recently the Scandanavian brand unveiled its Uplifted XC90 in Cape Town, and to lead the innovations and systems featured in the car, was none other than Charmagne Mavudzi – Head of Marketing and Communication for Volvo Cars South Africa. The latest XC90 follows in footsteps of the all-new XC90, launched globally in 2015. Upon landing […]
We took it for a test to probe if the fight with its rivals would stand a chance- and it did with aplomb! The only snag- its rivals as the B market grows. Loved the sporty orange interior, coupled with leather seats and its understanding of its professional target market –fitted with the Bluetooth, Aux […]
To my amazement some believe it was just a costly exercise in that it should remain just as it is. ‘No gripe or whatsoever’…they agreed in unison.
