The Truth Behind Turbos And Engine Technology

Unlike the old days where turbos were reserved for racers and muscle cars spewing fire and deafening noise, today’s engine technology has changed considerably. All types of cars across various segments, regardless of shape, size, brand or price points have implemented turbos in some shape or form.

How To Stay Safe On The Road During Load Shedding

Load shedding has been a talking point for quite some time and unfortunately, it is not going away any time soon. For South Africans, driving during load shedding can be a real challenge considering power outages affect traffic lights and street lamps. Not to mention the presence of emergency vehicles, service delivery workers and the difficulty to spot pedestrians and cyclists in the dark. If you are on the road during a power outage, it’s imperative to follow the rules of the road. As always, Arrive Alive adds some valuable input with their set of guidelines to ensure you and other road users remain safe on the road.

Which SUV Is Safer, Toyota, Isuzu or Mitsubishi?

This is the type of information many people want to know and we’ve gone the distance in answering that very question. It literally is the battle royale as we compare the Toyota Fortuner 2.4 GD-6 RB AT, the Isuzu mu-X 3.0 4×2 AT6 and the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2.4 D4. While all three are large, automatic SUVs with comfortable seating for seven people, which one tips the scale in terms of the all-important safety features? To ensure a fair fight, we’ve chosen the slightly more affordable 4×2 variants since the whole idea is to compare the list of standard active and passive safety features.
