    Saving Dough On And Off The Road

    Owning a car is expensive. The upfront cost may or may not have been a good deal, but it really doesn’t matter at the end of the day, as the initial cost is just the first of many. You’ll incur numerous costs on a daily basis simply through keeping your car running. Whilst many of these are necessities, the number of expenses you find on your bill also depends on how smart you are when it comes to cutting down costs involving elements of your car over which you do have control.

    If you want to save dough on and off road, the key lies in taking ownership of your car seriously. Yes, you need to fuel your car and annually get an MOT, but you’re in charge of its everyday usage. That means you’re in charge of all additional costs which come from running a car on the daily. Perhaps you don’t know what more you could possibly do to save money whilst on and off the road, but here are some tips that might just cut down your car-related bills quite substantially every week.

    Being an economical driver.

    You could save a ridiculous amount of money simply by driving sensibly. Avoiding rapid braking and acceleration, along with speeding, is the key to reducing unnecessary costs. All of these things waste far more petrol than necessary and mean you’re running your car in the least fuel-efficient way possible. Not only are you destroying the environment, but you’re destroying your back pocket.

    Don’t wait for things to go wrong.

    If you want to save costs, you should be keeping your car maintained before anything goes wrong. You might get a few more years out of a vehicle simply by regularly checking components of the machine in line with your owner’s manual. Of course, if you think you’ve found an issue that you don’t understand, you could always look into an auto repair service for expert help. The point is that you shouldn’t wait for a breakdown or an accident to happen, as this is far more dangerous and costly for you as a driver. Do whatever you can to regularly keep an eye on the important components of your car.

    Keep your car clean.

    Believe it or not, keeping your car clean doesn’t just serve to improve the aesthetic of your vehicle, but it’ll save you money in the long run. Scratches and faded paint can result from cars left in a dirty condition for too long, and the cost of fixing blemishes or repainting is an unnecessary one which can easily be avoided simply by keeping your car washed and waxed on a regular basis. Perhaps more importantly, keeping your car clean might help you to more easily identify small scratches or cracks which could lead to more costly problems in the future. Again, it’s all about keeping a consistent eye on your vehicle.

    Buy the smallest car model available.

    Manufacturers love making cars bigger and bigger, but this is also increasing the size of the hole in your wallet. When you’re looking into buying a new car, you need to have a rigid list of your specific criteria so that you can choose the smallest car possible to meet your very detailed needs. Not only are smaller cars often far cheaper in terms of the upfront price when compared to their larger counterparts, but smaller cars are lighter, and this means they’re far more economical in the long run.

    • 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 🇿🇦

    • 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.
