    The rising cost of living has impacted most people across the country and so the last thing you want is your car to start draining your resources too. By following these handy hints, you can reduce your car expenses every month and ease the strain that car ownership can put on your finances.


    Car Sharing
    When factoring your morning commute, take a moment to consider car sharing. This is a great way of saving money on your gas bills and it also gives you a break from driving every now and then. Just make sure the person or persons you are sharing with is someone you don’t mind being stuck in a car with.


    Swap Your Gas Guzzler
    A more extreme solution to your car costs is to swap your larger vehicle for a smaller, more economical one. Unless you definitely need all that extra space and horsepower (mostly large families and those who tow trailers or caravans) you can get by with a smaller car. The money you save in insurance and gas will be compensation enough for a little less boot space.

    Why Drive When You Can Walk?
    If you need to make a journey but don’t necessary need to drive to do it, then don’t! Start walking or cycling for some of your trips and you will not only save money, but you will also get fit as well. And if you’re thinking ‘what about my friends and family?’ then why not get the whole team a bike and you can enjoy great days out together without it costing you a fortune.

    Do You Really Need a Car?
    Following on from walking instead of driving; if you absolutely have to drive but don’t want the expensive of a permanent car, then why not rent? You can find a great choice of dealerships across the US, including Rental Cars Augusta GA that can sort you out with a vehicle to suit your needs in no time. And if you use the car sharing tip as well, you can split the cost of your rental with anyone else who needs to travel with you.

    Drive Smart
    Sensible driving is not just good manners and keeps other road users happy – it can also save you money. Over-revving, excessive braking and speeding can all have an effect on your car and how much money it costs you. Save gas by keeping your speed down and look after the engine by driving smoothly and sensibly.

    Keep Your Car Happy
    A happy car is a fuel-efficient car. Regular servicing and maintenance will identify problems before they become serious and could save you money in the long run. Repairs are always cheaper and easier to make when the problem first starts so don’t ignore it or you may end up with no car at all! Local mechanics or those recommended by friends are typically a safe bet and are close by in case of any emergencies.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • Look what’s arrived in South Africa 🇿🇦 

Nothing confirmed by Toyota SA as of yet but here is the 224 kW GR Corolla!

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
