ZA Car

We wrap up the last episode of 2011 with a quick bit of news about BMW’s 6-series Gran Coupé and the ridiculous Smart ForUs pickup truck. Then we all nominate our favourite cars of the year in four categories: hatch, sedan, fun car and practical car.

The crew went to the Jo’burg Motor Show, and report back on what’s hot and what’s not. Then they review the best 4x4xfar, and a slow, but safe, Opel.

We welcome Brent Ellis to the show this week and talk Johannesburg Motor Show, Audi RS3, Jaguar XF Diesel. We also review the Mercedes Benz C250 CDI Coupe that has Trevor weak at the knees and Suzuki Kizashi, a car much bigger than you think it is.

Patrick and Christo talk about two Suzukis, a Pagani, the rumoured Ford Focus RS and possible diesel Bentleys. Then they go wild, and review an Audi A8 they say is… fun.

Monster Tajima finally cracks the elusive 10-minute mark at the 89th running of the Pike’s Peak International Hill Climb.
