SALES INR2MILLIONBRACKET SET TOGROW

Whenapropertymarketingfran-

chise which is part of a group

with just over 200 such franchis-

es is rated third in the Western

Cape and fifth in the groups na-

tional rankings for March 2013,

obviously something is going on

there.

This was said recently by Tony

Clarke, managing director of the

Rawson Property Group. The fran-

chise towhich hewas referringwas

the groups Paarl operation.

The Paarl groups performance

is especially remarkable because

Paarl isacountrytowninwhichone

would not normally expect sales to

be on a par with those of the highly

traded, more densely populated, ur-

ban suburbs, said Clarke.

Lizette Joubert, theRawsonProp-

erty Groups franchisee for Paarl,

said that her ranking in national

placing bears out what she has long

claimed would be the case, namely

that Paarl is a residential district

whose time has now come.

In the eight years that I have

owned the franchise in Paarl, we

havenever seenpricesdrop,despite

now having 200 homes on our stock

list, nor have we ever quite had

enough stock to meet the demand.

Right now that is verymuch the sit-

uation, with the result that in the

lower and middle brackets prices

are now rising at between 5% and

ed, are now more in evidence and

continue to drive the market.

To ensure that each price catego-

ry is adequately served by her eight

agent team, Joubert has allocated

them to specific areas.

We now have specialists serving

delineated areas and this includes

the outlying, often upmarket sub-

urbs such as Boschenmeer, Val de

Vie and Pearl Valley. We are espe-

ciallypopularbecauseweholdshow

houses every Sunday.

Joubertaddedthatsheisquitefre-

quently told by buyers that asmuch

as they love Paarl and would like to

live there, its prices are now too

high.

The answer to that, I have to tell

them, is that, firstly, they should

consider buying slightly below the

standard they have become accus-

tomed to because it is alwaysworth-

while to get a foothold in Paarl; sec-

ondly, that prices are still low by

comparison with our main rivals,

Stellenbosch and Franschoek and,

thirdly, thatalmostanybuyinPaarl

will be a good one because prices

here will continue to increase sig-

nificantly in the next five to six

years and there are not too many

South African towns of which one

can say that, said Joubert.

For further information contact

Lizette Joubert on 083 469 8946 or e-

mail her at paarl@rawsonproper-

ties.com.

age being achieved within 27 days

and within 9% of the asking price,

whereaspreviouslytheaveragewas

closer to 15%.

Although there isagrowing inter-

est in top priced homes, said Jou-

bert, most of the action is still in

the middle and lower priced brack-

ets.

Altogether 42% of her franchises

sales this year has been in the R1

million to R1,5 million bracket and

45% in the R600,000 to R1 million

bracket. The remaining 13% was,

however, above R2million and Jou-

bert believes this proportion is like-

Whybuyingproperty is

agood investment

Why buy property? Its an important

question that needs to be answered be-

fore you take the plunge.

The first reality to consider is that you

have to live somewhere. That gives you two

options: rent or buy. There is no doubt that

if you rent, it will almost always cost you

less to enjoy the benefits of a property than

it will to purchase the same property. Ini-

tially.

If you take the cost of rental versus the

cost of ownership over 20 years though,

there is a very different picture.

Rentals usually escalate on an annual ba-

sis at anything from 5%10%. So as times

goes on, it will cost you more to rent, while

your bond instalment will remain more

constant and could even drop if interest

rates drop.

At the endof 20 years youwill ownaprop-

ertythatwillbepaidoff (or25years,depend-

ing on the term of your bond). If you rent,

after 20yearsyouwill havenothing to show

for the 240 monthly rental payments you

made. Nothing.

If you have purchased property, you will

have a valuable asset that is 100% paid for.

Youacquireanasset that increases inval-

ue with a liability that decreases and the

gap between the asset value and your debt

is your wealth. Sounds like a no-brainer to

me.

Are there other investments that could

give you a better short-term return on your

capital? Most definitely. Property is not,

and has never been, a short-term invest-

ment. But there is a significant difference

betweenproperty investment, andother in-

vestments.

If you were, for example, to purchase

sharesor equities, youwouldhave to invest

cash banks wont lend

youmoney tomake the in-

vestment.

When you purchase

property you can gear it

whichmeans you can bor-

row from the bank to pur-

chase, even up to 100% of

your purchase price.

And therein lies the big

difference: the ability of

an investor to use the

banks money to acquire

an asset that grows.While

the investor does have to

service the debt, the total

gain on the investment is

for thebenefit of the inves-

tor.

There are some other

benefits to owning your

own property. Not to be

underestimated is the

psychological benefit. It is very satisfying

to own your own home. You can improve

it as time goes on, and youwill benefit both

in terms of the use of the property, and the

future return on investment. When you

ownproperty you are obligated tomake the

monthly payments so its almost like

forced saving. And South Africans are un-

fortunately not good at saving, so say the

experts.

When should you invest in property? The

best time to invest is

when the selling prices

are realistic. Sellers are

mostly very realistic

now, having adjusted

their expectations and

taken the market into

consideration. So now

is a great time to buy.

In addition to this,

banks are looking at fi-

nance applications

more favourably, espe-

cially if you have a de-

posit. So before you en-

ter into another lease

agreement, why not

have a look at proper-

ties that may work for

you.Youmaypayalittle

more than your rental

initially,butyouwillbe

glad you invested in

property when you sell one day.

SUV: KOREANGIANT STRIKES AGAIN

Hyundai impresseswith the

newSante Fe

FRANS LE ROUX

A

few years ago, the South

African public was cer-

tainly not to blame when

they opted to rather pass on the

opportunity to purchase a Kore-

an car.

Nowin2013 thingsare lookingup.

With a host of fresh new products

from Hyundai, buyers would defi-

nitely be ignorant if their products

are not on their short-list. Cars like

the newSante Fe iswhat a company

builds its brand upon.

SouthAfricans like largecars.We

have a undying love for all things

SUV. Just thinkof themassive sales

in the bakkie segment, the gigantic

figures of MLs, X5s and Range Rov-

ers sold.

This isHyundais thirdofferingof

their spacious, well equipped and

most importantly,well pricedSante

Fe. Resting on the success of its

predecessors, theSanteFehasa loy-

al following amongst fans. One gets

the sense that the new car wants to

steal buyers away from other Ger-

man SUVs. After testing it for a few

days, I can honestly say it is a bril-

liant vehicle.

Having driven the previous mod-

el extensively and on long trips, the

new car is in a league of its own.

Starting with the overall shape

and design, in this size I think it is

the best looking Hyundai on the

market. From every angle, one feels

that the metal was purposefully

moulded to entice your visual sens-

es.The front,with itsangular lights,

large grille and low bumper, just

oozes masculinity. At the back

things are a bit more subdued, but

it retains a bold stance. The Sante

Fe has gone on a diet, with all its di-

mensions being smaller than the

outgoingmodel.Theroof-lineis low-

er and the boot smaller. This is by

no means a bad thing as it adds to

its youthful appeal.

The interior is another step up. I

have tested a few new Hyundais,

and like the rest of the brand, this

has vastly improved. From the

leather-clad dashboard to the silver

and black facia, everything has its

rightful place. The blue light info

screen does look somewhat dated in

such a modern SUV. The black

leathergear lever feels likeaquality

shifter. The seats are wonderfully

comfortable and the rear legroom is

ample. The access height at the boot

whenloadingcargo,wontbeaprob-

lem for the average person.

While driving the Sante Fe, I was

astounded by the way it effortlessly

wentaboutdoing itsbusiness.From

the super smooth 6-speed auto gear-

box to the quiet 2.2 litre 4-cylinder

diesel mill, everything just works,

and works well.

I drove close to 500 kilometres on

various road conditions and I can

proudlysay that theSanteFepassed

with flying colours. I was, however,

scepticabouthowthecarwould fare

onroughruttedgravel roads. It does

not havehigh ground clearance and

the front bumper sits low over the

road. On a bad stretch of 30 kilome-

tres gravel road, I didnt once expe-

rience the suspension bottomout. It

just soaked up all the bumps, glided

over rocks and cushioned its way

forward.

This beauty is powered by a third

generation diesel engine and is

rated at 145 kW/436 Nm. For such a

relatively small engine, it packs a

mighty punch.

Acceleration is brisk with 0-

100 km/h taking only 9,8 seconds.

Fuel consumption is admirable

with my average being 8 L/100 km.

Overtaking is effortless with the

huge amount of torque on offer.

While cruising at 120 km/h, the rev

counter hovers just above

2 000 rpm.

As I previously stated, the SUV

market is an extremely competitive

segment. The Sante Fe does not

quite fight it outwith the likes of the

bigger Germans, but rather the me-

dium-sized competitors. Audis Q5

and BMWs X3 are priced to com-

pare with the Sante Fe. Although in

sheer size, the Korean thumps its

opposition.

Prices start at R 444 900 for the

Premium (2WD) and continue to

rise towards R 524 900 for the Elite

(AWD). A comprehensive service

plan includes 5 year/90 000 km and

a 5 year/150 000 km manufacturers

warranty. Service intervals are set

at 15 000kmandroadside assistance

is included for 5 years/150 000 km.

This was honestly the first Kore-

an car I truly found hard to fault.

Everything in this package works,

and it does so very well.

If you take the good fuel consump-

tion, smooth ride, gearbox and the

overall look of the car, you are left

with a brilliant vehicle.

Hyundais new Sante Fe is hard to fault from any angle. The power delivery is smooth and the overall package

worth a look. PHOTO: QUICKPIC

ToyotaEnviroOutreachdiscoversnewplant species

Scientists and students from

the University of Johannes-

burg, the South African Na-

tional Biodiversity Institute,

University of Pretoria andUni-

versity of Cape Town spent a

fortnight in April visiting sev-

eral floristically interesting

sites in the extremely arid

Gariep andUpperNama-Karoo

regions of the Northern Cape.

Highlight of the 2013 ToyotaEn-

viro Outreach, the fifth in the an-

nual scientific study programme

that seeks to safeguard South Af-

ricas natural wealth and reduce

biodiversity loss, was the discov-

ery of a rare species of plant last

seen seven years ago.

Their common purpose was to

document and DNA barcode the

flora of the region. During their

visit they collected more than 500

individual plants representing

400 species. They found a few

plants theydidnot expect, like the

new species of Trachyandra dis-

covered in the Gamsberg Moun-

tains near Aggenys and Eragros-

tis sarmentosa, collected at Raap

en Skraap, which is the first dis-

tributionrecordforthisspecies in

the area.

When the tiny Trachyandra

bulb was first discovered in 2006

there were no photographs taken

or samples gathered to support

the finding.Consequently it could

not be recognised as a new spe-

cies.

The sample gathered during

Toyotas Enviro Outreach will

now be used to confirm the au-

thenticity of the new species and

this will be added to the 100 or

more new species found annually

in South Africa.

It will be exciting to follow the

classificationprocessandtoknow

that Toyota Enviro Outreach

played a significant role in this

achievement, said Prof Michelle

van der Bank of the African Cen-

tre for DNABarcoding (ACDB) in

the Department of Botany and Bi-

otechnology at the University of

Johannesburg, who was the lead

scientist on the project.

The team of scientists will now

spend the next few months sort-

ing, identifying and DNA barcod-

ing their plant collections.

The project forms part of the In-

ternational Barcode of Life

Project (iBOL).

All the data generated will be

uploaded on to theBarcode of Life

Data Systems (BOLD), an online

informatics platform, where it

will become part of a growing ref-

erence library of DNA barcodes

for South African plants and ani-

mals that will be freely available

for use by the broader scientific

and amateur naturalist commu-

nities.

Onbehalfof thescientific team

and our partners from the Inter-

national Barcode of Life project I

wish to expressmydeepgratitude

to Toyota SouthAfricaMotors for

providing a fleet of vehicles and

the unique opportunity through

the Toyota Enviro Outreach to

collect samples for DNA barcod-

ing and to document the flora of

the Northern Cape, where access

is usually difficult if not impossi-

ble, said Prof Van der Bank. Toyota Enviro Outreach programmes vehicles trekking through the Karoo. PHOTO: QUICKPIC

ISUZU KB BAKKIE LAUNCHED: Westvaal motors launched the Isuzu KB bakkie at a

special venue recently. The launch highlighted the bigger build of the bakkie, which

boasts several variations without departing from the classic feature that makes Isuzu

bakkie so reliable, says Westvaal dealer principle Herman Language. Its rugged but

stylish. The launch gave prospective buyers the chance to experience the new bakkie

in the scenic setting of the wine farm of Ernie Els outside Stellenbosch. The wine farm

also provided some offroad routes to put the new vehicle to the test. The test drives

and interactive presentation were in line with Westvaals aim to provide a unique client

experience, with their focus on warm and friendly service at the Stellenbosch and Som

erset West branches, Language says. The launch saw famous faces as well as prospec

tive buyers and long term customers, in the form of Helderberg radios Tommy Dell and

Isuzu brand ambassador, and Strand resident, Ian Strauss. As the final touch, once the

dust settled after the test drives, guests enjoyed a wine tasting provided by the venue.

Geely EmgrandEC7 the future is here

QUICKPIC

Geely is about to surprise the South Afri-

canmarketwiththelaunchofanewbrand

and arguably the best value for money se-

dan in the country.

It is the Geely sub-brand Emgrand, much

likevarious top-sellingJapaneseandGerman

brands with luxury car sub-brands.

ThenewGeelyEmgrandEC7 is exactly that

a high-quality vehiclewithhigh spec as part

of a vision to establish a new range for the

discerning buyer, but at an affordable price.

Launching from a sniff below R150 000, the

high-quality and full-specced new EC7 is a

confident competitor in a market flooded by

much more expensive cars offering this kind

ofqualityandspec.Twomodelswill beavaila-

ble at launch the EC7 GL Luxury and the

EC7 GT Executive.

Withall theelectronicbells andwhistles ex-

pected in anything on offer in this class out

ofKorea, Japan,Europeand theUSA, thenew

Geely Emgrand EC7 is scheduled to get no-

ticed by buyers and competitors alike.

The EC7 is the privately ownedChinese au-

tomakers first world model and the result of

three years of intense research, testing and

development.

The newEC7 embodies theGeelyAutomo-

tiveGroupsdedicationtothehighest interna-

tional standards, and is the ideal model to

launch the new luxury Emgrand sub-brand

in South Africa, says HenriMeistre, Manag-

ing Director of Geely SA. It is a car of many

firsts,with particular reference to its country

of origin and the subsequent competitors.

The EC7 is based on an entirely new Em-

grandplatformdeveloped according to a first-

class internationally-derived development

process.TheentirevehiclemeetsmultipleEu-

ropean safety and environmental standards,

and is the first and only Chinese vehicle pro-

duced by a stand-alonemanufacturer to score

a full-house of 5 stars in the Chinese NCAP

crash tests, and 4 in

its very first at-

tempt at the strin-

gent Euro-NCAP

collision tests.

Offering out-

standing value for

money at an un-

matched price, the

new EC7 is

launched with a

powerful 1.8-litre 4-

cylinder DOHC en-

gine matched to a 5-

speed manual transmission with a

6-speed auto version (not yet available for

right-hand drive models) following later this

year in various international markets.

The new EC7 is a C-segment sedan aimed

at families looking for an economic short,me-

diumand longdistance vehicle, professionals

who need a bigger car offering great value,

representatives who spend a lot of time and

distance behind the wheel, as well as fleet

operatorsandprivatebuyerswhodonotwant

to break the bank.

Thenew-to-South-Africared,goldandblack

Emgrand logo dominates the front grille with

chromed horisontal fins beneath a chromed

lip on the bonnet. From behind the new Em-

grandhasawidebut elegant andmaturepres-

ence,boasting thesameprominent logoonthe

lip of the luggage lid.

The interior design of the EC7 features two

and three colour tones on the dashboard and

door panels as well as the instrument cluster

and middle console.

Something that immediately catches the

eye is the soft, but clear blue backlighting of

the instrument panel. The centre console

houses a CD/radio combination and an easy

to operate climate control systemstandardon

both South African launch models.

Powered by theGeTec 1.8 litre engine deliv-

ering 102 kW with 172 Nm of torque, the EC7

accelerates from standstill to 100 km/h in 10.5

seconds (Chinese figures), reaching a top-

speed of about 185 km/h. The light-weight all-

aluminium engine boasts technological ad-

vances such as a plastic intake manifold and

CVVT (continuous variable valve timing), to

name but a few.

At a launch price of under R150 000, and de-

pending on the model, the new EC7 is loaded

with standard equipment, ranging from com-

fort and luxury features to safety and security

systems.

The layout of the cockpit is as ergonomic

as it gets,with themain focal point of thedriv-

er the small, but easily visible instrument

panel.

The instrument clusterhouses twomaindi-

tion for the exterior

door mirrors and win-

dows (bothmodels) and

drivers seat (GT only),

with the window, cen-

tral locking andmirror

control buttons within

arms length on the

drivers door.

Also unexpected from anything out of Chi-

na and a direct result of Geelys new vision

for quality are the low levels of noise, vibra-

tion and harshness (NVH) in this car.

Transfer of noise from the wind and road

surface at any speed is unobtrusive, while en-

gine noise even at high acceleration is at

just the right level, yet negligible, to realise

a positive driving feel.

The opening and closing of the doors usu-

ally a tell-tale sign of build quality, or the lack

thereof gives a solid feeling and has a deep,

quality sound, not an empty clank as inmany

modern cars of this day and age.

ThenewEmgrandEC7,whichwill be avail-

able through each of Geelys 40 plus dealer-

ships all over South Africa and in Namibia,

will be launched at the very competitive price

of R149 990 for the GL Luxury and R164 990

for the GT Executive, which apart from the

electric drivers seat also boasts ESC (elec-

tronic slip control), 4 additional airbags and

an electric sunroof.

Seven exteriors colours are available Mo-

cha Red, Danaube Blue, Gothic Black, Scot-

land Red, Athens White, Vienna Gold and

Alps Silver.

Both vehicles will be covered by Geelys 5-

year/100 000 km warranty (optional service

plans are available) aswell as 2-year road side

assistance for the ultimate in peace-of-mind

motoring.

Chevrolet Trailblazer

unlimited family fun!

QUICKPIC

Chevrolets Trailblazer

SUV has been making

waves in the SouthAfrican

market since its launch in

October 2012.

Spearheading a new seg-

ment for the brand inSouth

Africa, the Trailblazer has

been taking on the best in

the segment and bringing

with it an arsenal of value

for money, smart features,

class-leading attributes

and a new way of doing

things.

The Trailblazer was also

recentlyawardedasthetop-

ver inCARMagazinesTop 12

Best Buys for 2013 as well as

being the winning SUV/

Crossover in Leisure Wheels

magazines SUV shoot-out.

Trailblazer: a car thewhole

family can enjoy

With its bold yet easy-on-

the-eye styling, which incor-

poratesacommandingstance

with large wheels and a bold

body as well as a smart ap-

pearance thanks to the dual-

port Chevrolet front grille,

the Trailblazer appeals on all

levels.

Dad loves its large, pur-

poseful wheels and meaty

body; mom loves sitting high

up in traffic where the view

out over the bonnet gives her

a sense of empowerment.

The kids however, love it

for different reasons. Theres

so much space! With seven

seats and an exceptionally

practical seating design,

their best friends can come

along for family fun on the

weekend, too.

Not to mention how cool

they feel when mom picks

themup fromschool in the af-

ternoon, parked right outside

themainentranceofcourse

The familys recent Easter

Weekend trip to Magalies

turned out to be great fun.

With the Trailblazers third

row of seats neatly tucked in-

to the floor, everyones lug-

gage fitted in snugly even

dads fishing tackle box and

moms vanity bag. Not to

mention the fishing rods,

which were cleverly disman-

tled and stored in the Trail-

blazers sneaky under-floor

storage box in the boot. Not

one for a tent and sleeping on

the ground, mom insisted the

caravan just had to come

along as well, which was no

problem for the Trailblazer

with a towing capacity of up

to 2950 kg, it also makes light

work of towing the horse box

when sister has a show to get

to.

Dad always loves getting

mud under his wheel arches

so naturally, an off-road trail

and picnic excursion was in

order on Easter Sunday.

With 231 mm of ground

clearance, short overhangs

front and rear as well as a

clever drive mode switch,

even ambitious dad couldnt

find a trail too tough for the

Trailblazer.

Thanks to four-wheel

drive, lowrangeanda limited

slip rear differential, the

Trailblazer made mincemeat

of rocky inclines, muddy

ditches and even the steepest

of inclines. Not to mention it

was super-comfy over the

bumps.

Great value, great spec,

great performance

And, the South African

With its excellent specifica-

tion levels, great all-rounder

personality,wide range of ap-

peal and brilliant adaptabili-

ty, the Trailblazer has done

all the hard work for us. Not

to mention its class-leading

Ferraris F12Berlinetta supercar

QUICKPIC

VigliettiMotors the official Fer-

rari importer in South Africa

has revealed the new F12 Berli-

netta; the model which ushers in

the new generation of Prancing

Horse V12s.

The debut of the F12 Berlinetta in

South Africa adds the finishing

flourish toanall-newrangeof 12-cyl-

indermodels that, inthespaceof just

four years, has achieved the objec-

tiveofofferingdifferentFerraris for

different Ferraristi.

The F12 Berlinetta matches ever

increasing power outputs with

greater efficiency resulting in re-

duced fuel consumption and emis-

sions by an impressive 30%;

achieved through in-depth, 360-de-

gree research into all vehicle sys-

tems engine, aerodynamics, tyres,

brakes and ancillaries. This places

theF12at the topof thesegmentwith

15l/100 km and 350 g/km of CO re-

spectively.

The F12 Berlinetta is the most

powerful and high-performance

road-going Ferrari ever. Sporting a

new V12 engine, it is built around

highly evolved transaxle architec-

ture and features state-of-the-art

components and control systems.

The F12 Berlinettas aerodynamics

has also been honed to the extreme

in an innovative design that rede-

fines classic Ferrari themes.

The wheelbase is shorter and its

engine,dashboardandseatsare low-

er in the chassis. A new suspension

and gearbox layout helped reduce

the cars rear volume. The result is

a shorter, lower and narrower car

thanthepreviousV12coup.TheF12

Berlinettaboasts idealweightdistri-

bution (54% over the rear axle) as

well as a lower centre of gravity that

is further back in the chassis.

The spaceframe chassis and body-

shell are completely new, and now

incorporate no less than 12 different

aluminium alloys, some of which

have been used for the first time in

the automotive sector. New assem-

blyand joining technologieswereal-

so adopted in its construction. This

has allowed the cars overall weight

to be kept to just 1 525 kg and has

maximised its performance efficien-

cywith torsional rigidity boosted by

20 per cent.

The new, 200-bar direct-injection

6262cc 65 V12 engine delivers un-

precedentedperformance foranatu-

rally-aspirated12-cylinder. Itpunch-

es out a maximum of 544 kW at 8250

rpm, with a specific power output of

87 kW/l and maximum revs of 8700

rpm record figures for this type

of engine. Responsiveness and

strongpick-upisguaranteedbymax-

imum torque of 690 Nm, 80 per cent

of which is readily available at

2500 rpm.

Aerodynamics play a major role,

and a host of innovative solutions

have been discreetly integrated in

the F12s styling. These include the

Aero Bridge which, in a first, uses

the bonnet to generate down force.

It employs Active Brake Cooling;

a system that opens guide vanes to

the brake cooling ducts only at high

operating temperatures.

The result of these interventions

is that the F12 Berlinetta has the

highest overall aerodynamic effi-

ciency of any Ferrari ever built (a

value of 1.2 which is double that of

the 599 GTB Fiorano) with down-

force of 123 kg at 200 km/h and a Cd

of just 0,299. The result of collabora-

tion between the Ferrari Styling

Centre andPininfarina, the F12Ber-

linetta featuresharmoniousandbal-

anced proportions. It is a truly origi-

nal, innovative coup with all of the

signature features of an authentic

Ferrari 12-cylinder.

Clothed in sleek, aggressive lines,

it offers superb occupant space and

comfort despite its relatively com-

pact dimensions.

The rear is characterised by a

modern, functionalreinterpretation

of the Kamm tail which seamlessly

integrates the two vertical fences of

thereardiffuser.Theresulting,orig-

inal T-shape also incorporates two

full-LED circular tail-lights and the

clearly F1-inspired rear fog light.

The F12 Berlinettas technical

specifications are completed by the

very latest version of the carbon-ce-

ramicbraking system (CCM3), a fur-

ther evolution of the magnetorheo-

logical suspension (SCM-E) and the

latest development in electronic ve-

hicle control systems (E-diff, ESC,

F1-Trac, and high-performance

Demand for Peugeot cars

buoyant in SouthAfrica

Despite softening demand for new vehi-

cles, sales of Peugeot passenger and light

commercial vehicles continue to showpos-

itive strides. The French auto maker re-

corded a total tally of 411 units in March

2013, representing an increase of 17 % on

February levels.

The trend is mirrored when comparing

year-on-yearsales,withPeugeotSAsyear-

to-date sales for 2013 showing an increase

of 17,7% on the same period last year.

The achievement is all the more signifi-

cant against a backdrop of slowing indus-

try sales. Overall demand for newvehicles

in South Africa rose by a modest 3,3 % in

March, compared to February this year,

andwas actually down2,8%onMarch 2012

levels.

Yeartodate, industrysaleswereup4,1 %

compared to 2012.

Driving Peugeots sparkling sales per-

formance was the growing demand for the

compact 208 among the first of a new-gen-

eration of B-segment hatchbacks to reach

local shores.

Thenewcomersarrival in the latterpart

of 2012 coincided with increasing interest

in more compact and more economical

cars that still providehigh levels of sophis-

tication and a satisfying array of standard

features.

As a result, market acceptance of the 208

has been positive, both in SA and globally.

Internationally, February sales (with 20

700 registrations) confirmed the Peugeot

208as leader in thehotly contestedEurope-

an (29 countries) B segment hatchback cat-

egory, which it had conquered in Decem-

ber 2012.

The range is due for further expansion

with the release of the high-tech 208 GTI

variant, launching in South Africa during

July, which is expected to add further mo-

mentum to demand for the hatchback.

The improvement in the French brands

sales locally has also been positively influ-

enced by Peugeots unwavering commit-

ment to the SA market, with a particular

emphasisbeingplacedonupping sales and

after-sales service levels.

The Peugeot Premium Plan, a five-year

full maintenance offering on all new Peu-

geot models, not only underscores that

commitment, but also offers buyers addi-

tional value and ownership peace ofmind.

A revamped dealer network has played

an important part in the substantial im-

provement of customer satisfaction levels,

whilealsoattractingnewlocal investment,

with theopeningofnewdealerships inNel-

spruit and Cape Town.

The March sales are heartening, and a

welcomesign thatourconsistent effortson

the customer car front are paying divi-

dends,commentsFrancisHarnie,manag-

ing director of Peugeot SA. Market condi-

tions are not easy at present, and to show

strong growth at this juncture is particu-

larly gratifying.

Harnie is convinced that Peugeots con-

sistent focus on improving service levels

are at the core of the growing demand for

the brands products.

Wevebeenanunderratedbrand for too

long, and our drive to meet the require-

ments of our customers by offering excel-

lent service is a core part of the strategy

to put Peugeot in the limelight.

for the next round of the SouthAfrican rally

championship, the Toyota Gauteng Dealer

Rally on May 31 and June 1, said Castrol

Toyota team principal, Glyn Hall.

Winning this rally and finishing 1-2

ahead of the three factory VW Polos in their

own back yard was a bonus.

We needed to test the cars under proper

racing conditions and the regional rally pro-

vided these.

Both Poulter, currently second in the SA

championship, and Gemmell, who is sixth,

werehappywith theircarsandreported that

the new developments worked well.

There is a definite improvement in per-

Poulter was full of praise for the team.

This is a great result for the team who

Rover, affectionately known by many

as Huey.

To celebrate 65 years, the debut of a

Special EditionDefender the LXV (65

nal Land Rover in 1990 and this iconic

family of utility vehicles Land Rover

Series I, II, III and Defender has now

the LXV is based on the standard Land

Rover Defender which is equipped

with the 2.2-litre diesel engine and 6-

speed manual transmission, produc-

ing 122PS@3,500rpm of power and
