Think of Venue as a small, cheeky-esque, family hatch, in an overcoat and heels. Venue is Hyundai’s baby hatch/SUV and comes in 3 models: Venue (previously known as GO, though, god knows why), Active, and Elite. The petite, 1.6L engine comes with a 6 speed automatic, or the same number of cogs in shift-em-yourself. Because Elite is the posh model, it is only coming in auto, oh my goodness me.
2021 Toyota Kluger 2WD GX V6 Review and Navman Competition It seems like only yesterday that we were winging our way down the freeway in a 2021 Kluger GX Hybrid, because, it was yesterday.
Top Ten Best Things About: All-New 2021 Toyota Kluger Normally, driving a 7-seater would mean a certain amount of boredom. The All-New Toyota Kluger proved to be quite the revelation.
We’ve long loved the Toyota and LEXUS hybrids for their flexibility, and the frugal drinking habits. Previously, Toyota exterior had been little better than a fridge on wheels, but nowthe range stands out, and C-HR is eye-catching.
When you do a roadtrip, and you don’t want an SUV, you want space, right? Toyota Camry Hybrid is restrained to the point of coma, but by gosh it is a comfy drive. It has all the hallmarks of Camry models of the past, but has undergone a nip and tuck, with new tech being shoved into it to [...]
The Golf MK 8 GTI week has been one joyous turn after another, dispelling every poo-poo from those tragic know-it-all forum warriors. I approached Golf MK 8 GTI with not a little trepidation, because it could all have gone horribly wrong. Volkswagen might have gotten little men with pocket protectors to shred GTI’s heritage, but not a bit of [...]
UX is LEXUS’ smallest SUV. The lineup is a trio of tasty models with own-goals as names. The base grade is called “luxury”. It is followed by F Sport and Sport Luxury, but that doesn’t tell you very much about what is under the skin.
The MY 20 Peugeot 508 is a stunning exercise in classy, cutting edge, design. Rarely does such a translate from pen to the showroom. Usually, men in cheap suits and pocket protectors, would slice and dice, until the end product is nothing more than a tacky pastiche.
Kia Stonic went on sale a little while ago, and its numbers, though already impressive, are set to explode once supply is sorted out. Last month, Kia moved 745 Stonics, a great total by any measure. That is still a fair way off Seltos’ 1097 and Cerato’s 2711. Numbers are good, but more Stonics would feature on driveways if only Kia could sort out the supply. Covid has strip-mined the auto industry with delivery promises left in tatters.
Mazda 6 GT SP Wagon, NOT an SUV Review I went up the short ramp into the garage, and there it stood before me, the Mazda 6 Wagon. It looks all long and leggy, and very very classy. First, a bit of history. Mazda rejigged their nomenclatures in the early 2000’s, when the 626 became the Mazda 6. Since [...]
