Thanks to a healthy South African automotive appetite, we have a robust and very active car industry with car brands looking to fill as many market segments as they can. And that means, weekly, a great variety of very tasty vehicles arrive at our premises ready for the vigorous and thorough testing procedures for which this magazine is renowned. In fact, there are so many models and variants being launched that it requires some clever logistical planning for the team to drive and test them all. Ja, I know. Tough job. Somehow we manage.
What it does mean, though, is that many of the car tests we do don’t get published in the magazine which, frankly, is a waste. That’s why you are holding in your hands the first ever CAR Road Test Special – an annual supplement that features 24 road tests you have never seen before in the pages of CAR.
And don’t think they’re lesser models not deemed good enough, either. Among the 24 is a variety ranging from a little Fiat Qubo right up to an Audi R8.
