    Here’s a story of Alex Newman from San Francisco, California. Passionate about American muscle cars, he got himself a 1967 Pontiac Firebird. Not only did it cost him a small fortune to buy it (about 35 grand), but this car proved to be a real gas-guzzler. With the mileage of 11 mpg, he had to visit a gas station on a daily basis. Working as a data recovery guy, he had to drive across the city each time his clients had an emergency. What this means was that he was wasting literally hundreds of dollars on fuel each week!

    On top of that, considering that his Firebird was a 50-year-old car, saying that it wasn’t reliable would be an understatement. It used to break down all the time, often making him miss important business appointments. That’s why he’s decided to get himself a new car, one that’s reliable and fuel-efficient.

    If you’re like Alex, here are the top 5 best cars for busy professionals:

    1. Smart Fortwo

    Introduced two decades ago, Smart Fortwo has become an iconic city car. Of course, the main reason why Smart Fortwo is on this list is the fuel economy. But, this car is great for many other things other than its gas mileage.

    Thanks to the fact that it’s so small, you can fit it in literally any parking space without having to worry you might bump another car. Furthermore, thanks to its small size, the car is super-easy to drive. It’s not very fast, but it doesn’t matter if you’re going to drive it around the city, where the speed limit is usually 35 mph.

    Surely, we can’t ignore the elephant in the room which is that this car is a two-seater. So, if you’re a busy professional who needs to drive his team from one part of the city to another, maybe a Smart Fortwo is not the best option. The good news is that there are plenty of other options to choose from. A Mini Cooper is one of those.

    2. Mini Cooper

    Based on the iconic British car from the 1960s, the Mini Cooper performs great when it comes to city driving. Thanks to its compact design, this car is very easy to maneuver, and you surely won’t have any problems finding a parking space. On top of everything, the Mini Cooper has a really impressive gas mileage, meaning that you’re guaranteed to save a lot of money in the long run if you decide to buy it.

    3. Chevrolet Spark

    Manufactured by GM Korea, the Chevrolet Spark is a 5-door hatchback designed to perform great in the city. It’s not too fast, but it’s easy to drive and very comfortable. Even when it’s full, it doesn’t feel crowded.

    Apart from being comfy, this car is also very good for your budget. In fact, when it comes to fuel consumption, it’s one of the best choices you can make. Furthermore, there has been a recently released all-electric version of this model, which can be a great choice for eco-friendly drivers.

    4. Ford Fiesta

    Did you know that since the Fiesta was introduced in 1976, it has become the 3rd-most-popular Ford model ever? This fact should not surprise you too much, given the fact that it looks rather nice, its fuel economy is great, and above everything, it’s super comfortable.

    5. Toyota Prius

    The production of the Prius started more than two decades ago and over time several versions of this hybrid were introduced. The latest was the Prius fastback, which was released in 2018. Unlike previous models, this version features a really large interior space. What this means is that you can pack all of your tools and equipment without making the passengers feel uncomfortable.

    These are just a few of the best picks for busy professionals.  Do you have any personal recommendations?  Let us know in the comments.

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

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

    • 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.
