The greatest GTi of them all

[Henrie Geyser] One cannot help but feel sorry for all the other makers of hot hatches, boy racers and pocket rockets who were hoping against hope that maybe, just this once, the new Golf 6 GTi will fail to live up to its iconic image.

Nissan's built-to-thrill 370Z

[Henrie Geyser] The all-new Nissan 370Z has arrived in South Africa and it's a beaut. Not only is it shorter, lower, lighter, faster, classier and safer than its 350Z predecessor but it also handles better and looks more hardcore than most other sportscars in its class.

Cute Kia with lots of Soul

[Henrie Geyser] In a world over-populated by soulless look-alike vehicles it's refreshing when something funky, a little arrogant and quite off-the-wall pops up - so take a bow the new Kia Soul.
