  • Audi makes multiple subtle changes to the 2017 Q5

    There’s a principal in business that goes, if you want to succeed in your field, you must be the “best in the world at…”. This principal holds true simply because if you’re not the best, someone else will be. Audi have adopted this principal locally and have, with the...
  • Renault Duster EDC kicks things up a gear

    I’m not a fan of manual transmissions in an urban setting. There, I said it. So, when Renault invited me to drive the Duster EDC I was hopeful that the car would be good. We take the early flight to Johannesburg and drive the automatic Duster EDC. Whether it...
  • The Golf 7.5 GTI; what are the differences?

  • Meet the Mercedes Benz E63S 4Matic+

    Ever since the big three started the power war a few decades back, most asked how long it would last, and when would it end. Surely rear wheel drive had it’s limitations and as the torque figures increased up to nearly 1000Nm, eventually something had to give. In 2017...
