    Guest Post: Jason Acar – Does Your Car Pass The “Real Man Test”?

    Cars have always been linked with manliness. Whether you are a suave business man in the latest Mercedes Benz, or an outdoorsman who sees rocky mountains as a racetrack, a car will tell a lot about who you are. If you want to make sure that your car passes the man test, check off the following things below:

    • Do you have air freshener?
    You might as well be wearing a dress. At all times, a man’s car should smell of leather, food or passing winds. If you have ever said: “Mmm, apple cinnamon is the best smell in the world,” you better sign up for the army. The one and only time it would be alright for your car to smell of a perfume is if it was recently cleaned or you had a beautiful women in the passenger seat.
    • Does it have a gear lever?
    This is simple – automatic cars are for women, the disabled and the elderly. If you are a real man, you should control every aspect of your driving experience – and that includes shifting gears. If you are healthy and driving an automatic car, you are either the laziest person on the planet or clearly born into the wrong gender. A real man never complains about his foot getting cramps from the clutch, instead he looks at it as a foot workout.
    • Is there anything furry in the cabin?
    A teddy bear would be acceptable if you have children, and they are in the car with you at the time. If your seats are covered in fake animal fur and a fluffy die is hanging from the rear-view mirror, then you better be packing a whole lot of “employees” at the back in skimpy clothing. If not, you seriously need to sit down and chat with your parents.
    • Can you fit a deer in the trunk?
    No? Well, that probably means that you own a Mini Cooper and you secretly crave affection from another man. If you only have enough space for a small manbag, then obviously you don’t care about having cases of beer, a tent and a full survival kit on hand at all times.

    If you are not 100 percent certain that you have all of these things covered, then you better get outside and check before your reputation is ruined. Also, if you own a Volkswagen Beetle (the old school version, not the ladybug-like new one), you automatically qualify – as long as you removed those hipster flowers and replaced them with skulls.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more)?
    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
