    Alfa Romeo Giulia Gets Highest Safety Rating From IIHS

    The Alfa Romeo Giulia has managed to score the highest safety rating which makes it one of the safest options in its class.

    The luxury sedan has aced the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) test achieving the coveted “Top Safety Pick+” result.

    To earn this, a vehicle must achieve the highest possible score, a score of “good,” in the five tests used by IIHS to evaluate crash safety performance. The tests include small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints.

    When testing vehicles, they also need to show some form of crash prevention technology and with the Giulia’s automatic braking it achieved a “superior” result.

    For the Giulia to achieve this rating, the car needs to be spec’d with two optional extra’s namely; a Forward Collision Warning-Plus package and bi-xenon headlights.

    Either way these results are very impressive considering the Giulia had no predecessor testing. It now matches the BMW 3-Series safety rating and beats the Mercedes-Benz C-Class rating.

    “The Giulia represents the height of Alfa Romeo engineering and technology so no effort was spared when it came to the vehicle’s performance and safety features” Alfa Romeo boss, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. “We’re honored to receive this award from IIHS as it shows our commitment to creating state-of-the-art vehicles.”

    • 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.
