Review: Changan Deepal S07

R995 900

The Changan Deepal S07 is a 2030-esque 'spaceship' on wheels. But does its plush cabin redeem its overcomplicated tech and iffy ride quality?

Review: Changan Hunter T50 REEV 4X4

R799 900

The Changan Hunter REEV makes a compelling case for new energy bakkies, and compared to what similarly specced mainstream pick-ups cost, its value proposition is solid.

The BMW 218 Gran Coupé isn’t a car that hits you with drama or thrills, and that’s exactly why I like it.

Episode 12: Rayno Nel, Star in a Reasonably Priced Car South Africa

Episode 12 of Star in a Reasonably Priced Car brings Season 1 to a powerful close as Rayno Nel climbs into the TopGear South Africa Suzuki Swift. Known globally as the World’s Strongest Man, Rayno arrives not with noise or spectacle, but with quiet confidence. A softly spoken gentleman whose presence feels calm… until you remember exactly what he is capable of. Rayno Nel is the man who stands at the very peak of human strength. On the world stage, he has pulled, lifted, and carried his way into history, earning the title of the strongest man on the planet. But today, the challenge is not stones, logs, or atlas weights. It’s apexes, braking zones, and a small Suzuki Swift that suddenly feels a lot smaller than usual. Inside the car, the contrast is immediate. A world champion built for maximum power, squeezed into a machine built for accessibility and fairness. The Swift remains mostly standard, fitted only with a roll cage, racing seat, and harness. No advantage. No shortcuts. Just man, machine, and a stopwatch that does not care who you are outside the circuit. Hosted by Jason Goliath, the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car series continues its search for pure driving ability on the tight and technical Formula K circuit. Each lap strips away reputation and replaces it with something far more honest: lap time. And yet, Rayno does what champions do. Calm, composed, and precise, he takes on the circuit with surprising rhythm, pushing the Swift to a second fastest lap time of the season, proving that strength doesn’t only belong in the gym, sometimes it shows up in braking discipline and corner exits. Season 1 ends where it should, with a quiet giant, a small car, and a lap that refuses to be ignored.
