Posted by Group1 Cars on 13 Jun 2022 under Car Reviews, Ford, General, Group 1 Cars, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Toyota

Best bakkies for sale in SA compared

In America they are called trucks, in Aussie Utes and in South Africa we call them bakkies. No matter what you call them, the bakkie is a firm favourite for a huge percentage of our population. Working bakkies on farms, building sites, mines, factories and small businesses, lifestyle bakkies to pull the boat or the trailer full of bikes, for weekend bundu bashing or simply to keep the neighbours jealous.

The thing is, it is impossible to define a ‘bakkie’. From the very basic single cab 4×2 to 4×4 twin cab, all turbo, all optional extras, high-riding snarling beasts that will make Mad Max blink, and everything in between, there is a bakkie for every need and the need for more bakkie variants seems insatiable.

Cars with the highest ground clearance

South Africa has an extensive road network consisting of national highways, byways and rural roads throughout all nine provinces. While efforts are made to keep roads in good condition, there are still bumps and potholes to contend with, not to mention going off-road and that requires cars with high ground clearance.

The good news is there are many cars with high good ground clearance to combat this. In this basic guide, we briefly discuss vehicles from various segments that have high ground clearance.

Best value for money cars for sale? Sedans.

Change creates opportunity. Let’s consider the fate of the compact sedan and the incredible value for money opportunity it offers the buyer like you – looking for a great pre-owned car with all the features you would want.

In the recent past, the sedan has increasingly been replaced by the more popular configurations, the SUVs and the hatch. It is almost a fashion thing rather than a practical thing. I test drove a Hyundai Elantra recently and was very impressed. It is a smart-looking car, roomy and luxurious, with an enormous boot. It had all the nice features today’s discerning driver could wish for. But it was not always thus.

Well Worth The Search: A Prime Pre-Owned Nissan Qashqai

Posted by Group1 Cars on 26 Jul 2021 under Car Model History, Car Reviews, Nissan, Qashqai Facelift, Qashqai My14

Used Nissan Qashqai models are VERY popular

The salesman told me to decide fast because they move quickly. “Ja, ja, salesman talk,” I thought, I have time.” Two days later when I phoned for the Qashqai, it was gone and I was disappointed. I was looking to trade in my venerable 2006 X-Trail and immediately fell in love with the Qashqai – a late first-gen 1.6, white, low mileage, fair price. It was the first time I had really looked closely at this oddly-named car. You would see them in the street, nice looking, nothing special. Until you look at the boot – the nearest thing to match my X-Trail I could afford then.

Posted by Group1 Cars on 03 Oct 2019 under Asx, Car Buying Tips, Car Reviews, Ecosport, Ford, Group 1 Cars, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Renault, Toyota, X-Trail

Seven Great SUVs

There is no such thing as a typical SUV. Some are bigger, some are rather cramped. Some are a bit too grand for anything but parking on a pavement, while some are at home in the bush. You cannot really compare cheap with cheap or large with large and get a meaningful answer.
