REVIEWS

The automotive definition of bang for buck!

The iconic Mustang is proof that driving fun need not be overly complicated - or expensive.

Hilux ups the ante in power and tech.

Toyota has two problems when considering its leading Legend...the first is itself.

Mazda aims higher with the CX-30.

The CX-30 is another product that Mazda aims to play in the premium segment

Hyundai's i30 N is a piping hot-hatch bar one

As the Korean marque's first jab at the hot-hatch market, the Hyundai i30 N is well-sorted

Spruced up VW Caravelle makes a compelling case

Incremental updates have brought major improvements to the Cara Cara's repertoire

Merc's lofty GLS 580 is a luxuriant land yacht

Adding a V8 powerplant to the already impressive Merc GLS portfolio ups the refinement ante

Has Jag's updated F-Type done enough to claw back some lost ground?

The Jaguar F-Type R 575 might be the oldest car in the segment, but its performance continues to sizzle

Audi’s Q3 plays to the SUV-Coupe adoration.

Prettier than a Q3 but that may not be enough.

3.0-litre TD hits the X-Rider Sweet Spot

Isuzu's most powerful X-Rider plays its own game.

The deputy X5 M-car is perhaps the one to have

The hallmark of status with V8 power

The Porsche 911 GT3 RS's performance repertoire will leave you spellbound and speechless

It might be the outgoing model but the 991.2 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is astonishingly good

The Subaru XV may not be a class-leader but is still very good.

A soft roader that is anything but soft.

The thinking person's executive car

Might be too understated for some, but its tech and refinement is pure magic.

Audi's updated A4 bristles with new technology

The A4 is still every bit the compact executive sedan, yet a different kettle of fish to its main rivals

Jaguar I-PACE is simply a great SUV that happens to be powered by batteries.

The I-PACE is a strong statement in making electric attractive and quite normal too.

Porsche 911 Carrera T is entry-level by name but certainly not by performance

We put the the Porsche 911 Carrera T through its paces and come away mightily impressed

A small crossover with big charm

Not many cars balance fun with maturity like the Venue.

TCR, the swansong to the Vrrrpha Mark 7.5 VW Golf GTI

We sample the limited edition Golf GTI TCR to see how it fares

Factory-fitted differentiation from the popular Wildtrak after-market bakkies.

Ford has taken a Wildtrak and kitted it out.

The working class people-mover with everything you need.

Vanilla in many respects, but there's nothing wrong with vanilla per se.

BMW's X6 M50i melds kerb appeal with serious poke

BMW's X6 in M Performance M50i guise is a stellar all-rounder

GLC63S is a powerful performance machine and actually quite a looker.

“Nürburgring lap record” anyone?

The driver’s sports SUV that nobody seems to be noticing…but should.

Sound is everything in the burly F-Pace SVR.

KIA Seltos Diesel lands well.

Another good compact SUV to add to your many options

A relentlessly fast 4-door Supercar slayer

You have to break out the champagne for AMG having customers who want this sort of thing.

Power deficits masked by a beautifully made, quality car.

In a shrinking market dominated by German cars, the Mazda3 is cut from a different cloth entirely.

Proof that thrills don’t always need to cost a packet.

Less weight, more power – a recipe that works.

Everything a hot hatch should be.

A1 has an attitude backed up by punchy performance and high end tech

A complete sedan better than ever.

With everything against the survival of the sedan, it’s ironic that they’re so so good.

Defending the iconic off-road throne

Is the most anticipated SUV in 2020 able to deliver on the promise? TopGear Magazine SA investigates.

An unfiltered, unapologetic, bargain.

Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 is gloriously analog.

A warm and fuzzy driving experience

A different take but a product of class.

A fitting addition to the M8 Competition range

Is the BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupé the M8 to buy?

A Big Audi with a Big Sense of Occasion

Majors on coupé style but still practical

Arresting looks equally synced with tailored luxury

More exec limo than business sedan

The bakkie wars rage on but Hilux hasn’t even got out of bed.

The Stable Staple

The most expensive VW your money can buy is worth every Rand.

So good, it’s fancier siblings should worry

This little city special has all the marks of a great car but it’s let down by one thing.

Big name temperament from the little car.

A Sedan that is Simply Sublime - it’s BMW doing what it does best

We should all own a 3 at some point

A safe middle ground for those that aren't sure of the SUV-Coupé niche.

You'll argue about its styling less than the X

A better version of the A-Class?

Odds-on favourite of the bunch
