The world is changing at an alarming pace. Two year old kids are hooked on iPads and people are looking to twitter before TV and radio for breaking news. For decades we believed that Germans made the finest cars, the Italians the most adorned clothing and the Americans…

The first impression
February saw the launch of the New Generation Corolla, the 11th to be exact. At the launch, I had my moments with three of the four variants available (1.3, 1.6, 1.8 and 1.4 turbo diesel). I walked away for the launch pleasantly…

Subaru’s are made for people who like to drive. Hipsters of a prior generation, they are opposed to conformity and therefore steer away from German rivals. They know they are offbeat in an anti-establishment kind of way that…

So which brand created the ‘grand luxury 4X4’? Jeep claims that it was them, but let’s not forget about the 1970’s classic Range Rover. Dates and facts aside, the well-heeled and adventure seekers are eternally grateful for…

I don’t know about the rest of you, but when I think of Volvo, I think of quality and safety. Volvo themselves agree with this perception, however have taken to adding to those thoughts, with the ideas of eco-friendly, sporty and fun.
I recently attended a launch with the Swedish car manufacturer, not for a new model, but rather an enhancement on their…

The concept
Eco and sport. Hmm… isn’t that a contradiction? Not according to Ford.
So the price of petrol went up again and one thing is for certain our incomes aren’t climbing the economic ladder as fast as the price of fuel. This is a real…

The Suzuki Swift is cute. Their PR manger cringes when I say it, but that’s what I think. Its proportions and design are pocket-sized and very charming. Visually it has a likeable character that is almost animated and ‘alive’. You just want to pinch its proverbial…

The last Peugeot I drove was the Red Hot Chilli Pepper of French cars - the 208 GTi, which is a finalist in this year’s Car of the Year competition. I also reviewed their ultra stylish RCZ coupe. I have said it before and will again, the French make quirky…

It has been around forty seven years and had eleven reincarnations. Every year they sell 1.1 million of them, and over its production history they have produced 40 million units. Can you guess what I am referring to? I’m not referring to Madonna’s musical reinventions and album sales,…

A car says a lot about the person driving it. Some are oblivious and others very aware. Those who care about their image look for a car to match their ego. The 650i makes a bold statement but for some having a coupe isn’t an option. Not satisfied with a SUV or the impracticality of…
