Chevrolet cruzes into tough market
[Henrie Geyser] Selling new cars in the current tough economic climate is a major uphill battle and nowhere is the market more competitive than the C-segment where competition is at its fiercest - so a medal for bravery must go to General Motors South Africa for pitching its new Chevrolet Cruze against some serious, well established players. 29 Sep 2009 13:07

Mazda MPS is rip-roaring fun
[Henrie Geyser] I have driven the twisty, scenic Magoebas Kloof a number of times en route to the Kruger Park but have never had as much fun on that entertaining stretch of road as I had recently in the newly launched high-performance Mazda3 MPS. 26 Sep 2009 06:21

Jaguar XF is all purrs and claws
[Henrie Geyser] As serene as a purring cat, but scratch its tummy and its claws come out in a flash and, typical of the feline family, it will streak off into the distance for no other reason than because it can - that's the scorching new Jaguar XF for you.

New Cerato takes some beating
[Henrie Geyser] Times are tough, new car prices are sky-high and buyers of new cars are demanding maximum bang for their bucks, particularly in the highly competitive C-Segment of the market - and this is precisely why the newly-launched Kia Cerato is such an attractive option.

Murano ups the stakes yet again
[Henrie Geyser] When the Nissan Murano hit South African showrooms way back in 2004, it rattled the cages of all the other car manufacturers - not only because of its stylish premium SUV looks and sporty performance, but with a price and specifications combination that nobody else could match.

Versatile, family friendly Verso
[Henrie Geyser] Toyota has introduced new engine technology to the petrol- engine variants of its popular people-carrying Verso and has also added a gutsy new 2,0-litre diesel model to the range.

New topless Peugeot with guy appeal
[Henrie Geyser] Mention Peugeot convertible and most of the hairy species from Mars will immediately tell you it's a car for chic ladies with wild hair and big sun glasses and for pretty boys with a penchant for flowery shirts and earrings.

Altogether very nice Alto
[Henrie Geyser] Environmentally considerate, light on the wallet, really cute and brimming with wall-to-wall fancy equipment - that's the ultra-cool new Alto city car which has just arrived in South Africa.

Clio RS is a right little raver
[Henrie Geyser] I drove the previous model Renault Clio 2.0-litre Renault Sport and simply loved it. Recently I drove the equally spirited Twingo RS and it was even more exciting. Now I've just driven the latest Clio RS and where the other two RS ravers had lots of jalapeno bite, this latest edition to Renault's sporting stable is blistering habanera hot!

Lotus brings out the wild child
[Henrie Geyser] Some people jump from aircraft dangling from a piece of canvas and a few bits of string. Others hang by their finger tips from sheer cliff faces. Quite a few loonies catch crocodiles by their tails or seek the close-up company of man-eating sharks. Me? Well I squeeze into the tight cockpit of a low-level Lotus road racer and probably get a bigger kick than all of them.
