Suzuki Ertiga Ownership Experience & Review
In 2020 I decided to buy a Suzuki Ertiga because our family was growing and out-of-town trips often required seven seats. In this video I tell you about my ownership experience of the past 4 years and 40 000km. I go into detail on its practicality, reliability, efficiency and tell you whether I am happy with my decision, and whether you should consider an Ertiga for yourself.

2023 Subaru WRX Manual Review - South Africa
Переглядів 1,1 тис.10 місяців тому
(apologies for the poor sound quality - I bought a new mic online and only found out after filming that it was horrible - will fix it for next time!) The new 2023 Subaru WRX is available in manual and CVT guises, and most likely the latter will be the top seller. However, when Subaru told us we could have our pick for a long-term test car, we chose the manual, and what a treat it was. This is t...
Suzuki S-Presso Review : South Africa 2023
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
One of South Africa's favourite budget cars, the Suzuki S-Presso has been updated for 2023. In this video I report on my experience with the GL derivative and give you my opinion on its safety, infotainment, efficiency and value for money features. If you are looking to buy an entry-level new car in South Africa, here are the reasons why you should consider the Suzuki S-Presso. VIEW FULL SPECIF...
Cape Town Car Culture: Dodge Viper GTS steals the show at first Park 'n Pizza of 2023
Переглядів 180Рік тому
I take my 1971 Opel GT to the first Park 'n Pizza car meet in Cape Town of 2023. Mpho, our intern, drives my Subaru SVX (and gets spotted by a VERY enthusiastic fan later on). The star of the meet was undoubtedly Jess Goedhals' Dodge Viper GTS.

2023 Hyundai Palisade Review and Test Drive: South Africa
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
The new 2023 Hyundai Palisade benefits from more than just a cosmetic update. That said, the design upgrade is impressive, and gives the flagship Hyundai a lot more road presence. Under the skin not much has changed in terms of its powertrain, but there are added safety and comfort features. For the price of a regular 7-seat pick-up based SUV, it presents a mighty compelling argument. VIEW FULL...
2023 Ford Everest Review and Test Drive: South Africa
Переглядів 17 тис.Рік тому
The new 2023 Ford Everest is now available in South Africa and I spent a month and 4 000km with it over the festive season. I tested the Ford Everest Platinum flagship, powered by a 3.0L V6 turbodiesel engine with 184kW, and priced at just over R1.1 million, without a service or maintenance plan. Ford claims the new Everest is now a Toyota Prado rival and not competing with the Fortuner. Is thi...
BMW E38 750iL V12 Engine Smoothness Test
Переглядів 1 тис.Рік тому
A short video to show you just how smooth the V12 engine of this 1997 BMW (E38) 750iL is. Using a R5 coin placed on the engine cover, with the engine running, the coin doesn't fall over. Not bad for a 25-year old car with more than 230 000km on the odo! At the time of filming this car was for sale.

2022 Porsche 911 Targa Edition 50 Years Porsche Design Review
Переглядів 5 тис.Рік тому
The Targa, which straddles the coupe and cabriolet body styles in the Porsche 911 range, is an acquired taste, but not only has the variant endured… Porsche has created a special edition of the 911 Targa to celebrate 50 years of Porsche Design. It certainly looks the part and with its GTS drivetrain, it also goes like the clappers. But is this numbered Porsche worth R3m? VIEW FULL SPECIFICATION...
2022 Mercedes-Benz EQA 250 - South Africa Review
Переглядів 1,3 тис.Рік тому
Though selling the concept of electric vehicles in South Africa, which is currently plagued with loadshedding, remains difficult, and made more so by a ridiculous luxury tax on these vehicles, brands are expanding their EV portfolios at an increasing pace. Mercedes-Benz is the latest brand to join the EV party and it's most affordable offering is this, the EQA, tested here in 250 guise. Priced ...
Confessions of a Petrolhead (Ep1): Hannes & Ciro talk cars (mostly)
Переглядів 239Рік тому
Hannes Oosthuizen and Ciro De Siena are two of South Africa's most well-known motoring journalists. Both have ended up at Cars.co.za, where they mostly review new cars, but both have discovered a passion for older cars. On Friday afternoons, with a glass of wine, talk often turns to motoring memories from the past, current purchasing decisions and, well, shenanigans. We expect to do these regul...
2022 Opel Zafira Life: South Africa Review and Test Drive
Переглядів 4 тис.Рік тому
Opel's Zafira Life targets minivans such as the Hyundai Staria, Volkswagen T6 and even the Mercedes-Benz V-Class. In this video I review the flagship Zafira Life Elegance version, priced at just over R900 000. The 2022 Opel Zafira Life Elegance is a large 7-seat minivan loaded with luxury features. Should you consider the Opel Zafira Life as an alternative to its more established rivals? Maybe....

GWM's Ora Cat: The Chinese car to switch South Africa to EVs?
Lekke review, thanks. Awesome cars, safe fun. I drove my previous wrx for 9 years...no issues. Fast on gravel roads😊
Drove one everyday back in late 90s white one black wheels was a beast shifted for fun
I loved this review. Im driving an Everest i wanna upgrade to the new Everest or this Palisade. Once saw it on the road on black...this car has presence on the road. It took my breath
Pronounced MEW-EX 😊. Oh, journalism is so junior in South Africa 🇿🇦 😢
Beautiful, and comfortable. A question: when you wear flip-flops, like in this video, do you drive with flip-flops or do you go barefoot? Regardless of the fact that flip-flops, both with a manual and automatic car, can get stuck on the pedals, I prefer to drive barefoot, for greater feeling on the pedals and for greater grip.
Are we reviewing a Suzuki or Toyota? 😅
0-60 in more like 4.2 sec I would definitely change that horrible steering wheel to some more classic 😊one off the most beautiful cars ever created
👍👍👍👍👍👍
I have a Suzuki AMT and I love it. I currently going on 20 km p/l.The dealership threw in a few extras instead of a 7" screen I have a 10" amd rearview camera. I do wish I had the fancy wheels though but nothing can be upgraded on a later stage.
The front left and front right park sensors only detect objects within 25cm. That is far too late to stop in time if there is an object you were not expecting. The design states it will notify you when objects are within 60cm, but that isn’t achieved in real world tests.
How do I find info about this event?
Hi there. This event took place a few years ago.
I am going to get this generation of car.
Nee kyk vir die 3.0TD LSE lyk hy MEAN... en ek like dit kwaai.
I’m going to order the 2025 lci comvertible
I’m Moroccan and I love Subaru
I Almost traded my Monza GSI for a Super Boss but on the test drive a hated the shattering hard ride,It felt like riding on railway tracks.. Might have been a overinflated tyres But everything rattled inside the car.. Unfortunately 😢
Hi. For me model not nice and kwid model pretty fashion 😐thanks
poor lil thing... bullied around the world, the ugly car. i got one its the only option, but in the street people stop by and come over just to ask what car is this? anyway nice review sir, hello from Indonesia
'promo sm'
i think its cute 😂 beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder 👁
Great review. Thanks
True it is ugly 😂😂😂 but feels expensive 😊
Stellar review👍
Glad you liked it
Much appreciated Collect mine today after a year of reviewing 😊 Yours amongst the most refreshing, relatable & informative reviews, cheers
Glad I could help!
Iove your take on this GT
It's crazy loud and fast
Targa because Porsche win the race Targa Florio in Sicily
Hey thanks for the not so boring review just would have hoped you explain what ESP is and the importance of it in a "family car"
Noted! Thanks for watching.
It would be nice to see pov instead of the driver
Noted, thanks for watching.
Quality review, thank you
Thanks for watching!
Excellent review, it's exactly what I needed. Purchasing as a woman is had.
Glad it was helpful!
Regarding the SUV's front-wheel drive system, I'm curious about its performance on slippery surfaces such as a sloping dirt road in the countryside or very steep and slippery roads in Cape Town. Can you provide insights into how well it handles these challenging conditions, and if there are any specific features or technologies that enhance its traction and stability in such scenarios?
Hi there. Like most Chinese cars with a bit more power, throttle application needs to be smooth and sensitive. If you give it too much it will break traction. Of course, now there is an all-wheel drive model, too.
I was initially interested in the Tiggo 7 Pro but when I saw it in person it seemed even narrower than this. That's the only thing that I'm unsure about.
Believe me, the rear leg room of the 7 is a lot better than the 8..I tested both cars last week and they were the new facelifted models...they look amazing inside with the one long dashboard digital cluster. Plus for off reading, the 7 has an all wheel drive and has a higher ride clearance than the 8 if you are into off roading
Climate change is real - it's just not happening for the reasons that they say it is. It's completely natural in Earth's cycle
Great video, very informative, Only criticism is you need to look a bit more enthusiastic, sorry, constructive criticism :)
Please do a review on Suzuki Dzire
I just made an order in Malaysia. And I have a question that is your car 2023 model as it seemed quite different in interior design?
Hi this was about 2 years ago.
@@Hannes_Oosthuizen ok.. Hope my new car can save more fuel for me. .
What about soundproofing
It's acceptable for the type of vehicle I would say, but not the best.
@@Hannes_Oosthuizen it's better than Dacia Duster's?
The Aussies did a fantastic job in the design of this car.
It does seem to please a lot of people
At 3:26 you mentioned that the Palisade has wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto. Are you certain that it has wireless connection? Or does it have a wired USB connection only?
I doubt it. We spent hours at home looking for that option. It's only wired
Thanks for this review, I like your honesty. I liked the Palisade when I saw it. Its a beautiful car. I would definitely buy it if it has 4x4 / AWD options (I do reasonable off-roading, that's a must for me when I make car buying decision).
too big for any off roading
What is "reasonable off-roading?"
What the eff is a 'rand'?? Is that like a handjob? Yeah if it is a pre-'97 it has yet to receive the brteder updated 5 speed transmission.
Very informative video. Definitely points out the important pros and cons of the vehicle that a dealership would obviously not disclose for sale purposes. Found this very helpful in deciding what entry level vehicles to consider.
Glad it was helpful!
I ❤ u
Couldn’t watch this video, it feels like you looking past the viewer and not at the viewer, very weird…
How's the driving experience and fuel economy with the 2.0 biturbo engine?
I've just had the 2.0 biturbo Sport, and the gearbox does hunt a bit more to find the power. And it lacks some features, obviously. Still a a very pleasant car.
I'm averaging 11L/100km.
I recently got the Baleno version. Very happy with it so far. Havent driven that much but i love the standard tech that it comes with. Im new to the android auto functionality since im coming from a 2011 polo which is ancient in comparison lol
Enjoy your car!
They gave you the same car reviewed by the other guy from die kaap
Well, there is only one fleet. Who is the other guy?
My dad has a purple one
Great review, but it sounded like you didn't find the kickdown button. When you think you reached the floor, you press harder to press the kickdownbutton, then you will feel the pull. 😊
Hopefully I have another go some time! Thanks for watching!
