NEXTPHASE LAUNCHES EARLYNEXTWEEK

Newopportunitiesat Somerset LakesSomersetLakesislaunchingitsnewexitingphase of development.

With an impressive R240m worth of sales al-readyachievedatthisupmarketlife-styleestatein Somerset West since its launch 15 monthsago, the next phase launches early next week.

The upmarket products will perfectly com-plement the estate’s first three developmentphases: Brookdale (apartments) – which are100% sold out, as well as Heron’s Rest (freestanding homes) and Waterford Green (luxurytownhouses), which are close to being sold out.The launch of these new opportunities thuscomes just in time to satisfy growing consumerdemand.

Explainsmarketingandsalesmanager,DaveHarris:“Asresidentialhubthisareaingeneral,and our estate in particular, is becoming in-creasinglysoughtafter.Weofferresidentsafan-tastic lifestyle, a high end product, close prox-imity to all amenities, top of the line securityand an excellent return on investment. Themarket is responding accordingly.”

The announcement earlier this year that anelite private school managed by the prestigiousReddam Group will be located on the estate(opening its doors in January 2016) is, Harrisexplains, another reason for greatly increasedinterest to purchase homes and apartments atSomerset Lakes, given that residents and homeowners receive enrolment preference for theirchildren. “In addition, a Curro Castle Kinder-garten for babies and preschoolers aged threemonths to five years also open here in 2016,meaning younger children, preparatory schoollearners and high school students alike will allbe able to receive a premium education righton their doorstep,” he adds.

The two new developments launching areWest End, 46 double-storey sectional title luxu-rytownhousesandSpringfield,whichcompris-es of 17 free standing single-storey homes. De-signedbyWynandSchabortofSchabortAssoci-atesarchitects,theultrachicSpringfieldhomesare a contemporary interpretation of Cape Ver-nacular homesteads arranged on either side ofa natural green belt. All homes are comprisedof three bedrooms and double garages. The ma-jority also include a scullery and guest WC, andwill feature a covered patio with built-in braai,

roof-mounted flat panel solar geyser system,luxury fittings and sanitaryware as well as su-perior internet connectivity.

Luxurious double-storey West End town-houses featureopenplandiningandlivingarea– each with a private garden. The majority of

the units are orientated with living areas tothe north, to maximize sunlight and offerbreathtaking views of the Helderberg and be-yond.

Spacious home sizes range from approxi-mately 200 m² (including patio), to 230 m²units. All units have three bedrooms – a mainbedroomwithen-suiteshower, twosinglebed-rooms and one full bathroom, as well as a freestanding double garage, covered patio andguest WC. Top quality finishes and fittings areincluded, along with eco-friendly lighting. Aswith all Somerset Lakes homes and apart-ments,WestEndhomeswilloffersuperfast in-ternet connectivity and VOIP telephonic sys-

tem via the estate’s fibre optic cable.West End is located beside the shores of the

estate’s magnificent six-hectare private lake,andliesdirectlyoppositethesiteoftheSummerClub, an upmarket lakeside clubhouse, ear-marked to feature expansive patios, swimming

pools, a sandy beach and communal barbecueand picnic areas, as well as a dedicated chil-dren’s play park. There are also plans to housegym and spa facilities, as well as a full servicebusiness centre within the clubhouse, optimis-ing convenience for residents working fromhome.

Along with Somerset Lakes’ fantastic viewsand mountain vistas, it is the 64 hectare estate’sunique recreational infrastructure that hasmade it particularly attractive to those seekinga value-added lifestyle. Apart from the myriadofwatersports tobeenjoyedonthelake(includ-ingboating,kayaking,swimmingandbassfish-ing), Somerset Lakes will boast with outdoorrunning, walking and jogging trails and an out-doorgymset inanestablishedstonepineforest.

Transfer delays and the impacton both the buyer and the sellerOne of the most stressful experi-ences is said to be selling yourhome. Often it’s not so much theselling, it’s the moving – and ev-erything that goes with it.Both seller and buyer anxious-

ly await the registration of trans-fer of ownership. Most sales con-tractswill have adate for transferon which this is meant to takeplace. This could be a specificdate, or it couldbewritten to coin-cide with possession and occupa-tion being given to the purchaser.Inmany cases the possession or

occupation is stated to be the datethat registration takes place. Insuch an instance, a buyer cannotmove into a property if transferis delayed, unless the partiesagree to a change and occupation-al rental being paid.At the very least, a delay in

transfer usually has financial im-plications for the seller as theyonly receive the proceeds of thesale on transfer.There is a long list of boxes that

need tobe ticked fromwhenacon-tract is concluded, to when trans-fer takesplace.Whenasale is con-cluded a conveyancing attorneyis appointed (usually by the sell-er).The conveyancer effectively

runs the transfer process rightthrough to registration. In manyinstances they will have to liaisewith other parties, which couldinclude a bond registration attor-

ney (registering the bond for thepurchaser), and a bond cancella-tion attorney (cancelling thebond for the seller).Earlier this year therewere sig-

nificantdelays inobtainingRatesClearance certificates from theCity of Cape Town – but these is-sues seem to be resolved now.Sometimes a delay in the issue ofTransfer Duty receipts fromSARS or a backlog at the DeedsOffice can delay matters.The Cape Town Deeds Office is

running efficiently at the mo-ment – currently on 12 days fromlodgment (when the transfer pa-pers are handed in at the Deeds

Office) to actual registration, andthis could well drop to 10 days orless soon.Sadly the biggest reason for de-

lays is poor service from certainconveyancing or bond attorneys.In some cases it’s just shoddywork, with errors in the paper-work resulting in the Deeds Of-fice rejecting the transfer. Whilstwe’re all human, it’s typically thesame attorneys who repeatedlydisappoint.In other caseswe experience at-

torneys not allowing for thechanges in timing that could beanticipated. For example, if ratesclearance takes twoweeks longerthan normal, wouldn’t it makesense to apply two weeks earlier?Even in cases where the attor-

ney is not at fault, good communi-cation to the buyer and sellergives them the opportunity tomake alternative arrangements.This is especially important if itimpacts on their moving date, ormeans they need to arrange forbridging finance.On the positive, there are a

number of outstanding convey-ancing attorneys who deliverworld-class service and moveheaven and earth to get transfersthrough on time.So next time you select the at-

torney to handle your transfer,make sure you do so on thestrength of a good recommenda-tion and strong track record.

Units ingatedvillages,ofwhichtherearemanyinSom-erset West, lead the field with 16% increasesyear-on-year.

) RawsonSomersetWest’ssales turnoverinthe 2013 to 2014 period increased by 65%, al-thoughthe increase inunit saleswasonly36%.

This,saidVanderMerwe,isanotherclearindi-cator of howmuch the average price of homeshas risen. Tony Clarke, managing director ofthe Rawson PropertyGroup, commented how-ever that a 36% increase in unit sales was inevery way commendable.

) These sales were achieved by a relativelysmallteamofonlynineagentswhoin2014aver-aged earnings of R38 000, almost double thenorm in the residential property industry.The agents’ ability to achieve, said Van der

Merwe, had been improved by the franchise’soperating model set up by him and his sons.This gives all agents the support of highlytrained office assistance, who handle much ofthe administrative and clerical work, therebyleaving the agents more time to liaise withtheirclients.Theassistanceworkincludescan-vassing for stock and new buyers and as a re-sult, despite exceptionally severe stock shorta-ges in the area, the franchise has in mostmonths been able to offer a stock list of 60 ormore homes.

In the Somerset West area, added Van derMerwe, certain agents work only sole man-dates, while others handle these if and whenthey get them.“Roughly half of all our sales,” said Van derMerwe, “are now achieved on sole mandatesand there is, I believe, clear evidence that, pro-videdthesellerselectsanagentwhoisgenuine-ly professional and competent, the sole man-date system definitely delivers the best pricesin the shortest possible time.”The great advantage of the solemandate sys-tem, he added, is that it encourages the agentto spend additional time, effort and money onpromoting the property.This franchise in December learned that ithad been awarded the Chairman’s Award forthe best franchise in the Rawson PropertyGroup, coming out ahead of some 220 Rawsonfranchises countrywide. Commenting on thisas well, Tony Clarke said that, as in so manyother cases, the Van der Merwe team hadlearned the ropes “thehardway”.After initial-

ly establishing themselves in Somerset Westand Strand in 2005, they were forced by the re-cession for someyears to focus only onStrand.Then four years ago they re-established them-selves in SomersetWest, where today they areacknowledged as being one of the top perform-ers.They had further enhanced their public pro-

file, said Clarke, bymoving into exceptionallyspacious,highprofilepremiseson theOldStel-lenbosch Road.Van der Merwe said that it had never been

his aim towin theChairman’sAward – rather,hesaid,histeamhadstriventomeettheself-im-posed targets that he and his co-franchiseeshad set up. However, he added, the almost in-credible upsurge in prices at Somerset Westhadbeenwithoutprecedentintheareaandthiscertainly contributed greatly to their success.Similar upturns, said Van der Merwe, are

nowbeingexperienced inStrandandGordon’sBay, both now served by dedicated RawsonProperty Group agents.

Showdays canhelpyousell yourpropertyata faster rateIn these days of online listings and videotours which are accessible even from acellphone, home sellers may questionthe value of show days.

But they should know that these eventsare still among the most effective ways tomarket real estate.In fact, says RealNet MD Jan Davel, seri-

ous sellers should ensure their agent holdsat least one show day as soon as possible aft-er listing, to givekeenbuyers theopportuni-ty to view the home in person and envisagethemselves living there.“A show day also tends to be a more re-

laxed environment for prospective buyersin which they feel less self-conscious aboutasking questions and having a really goodlook at the property than during a privateviewing when the seller will most likely bepresent,” he says.“The biggest advantage of a show day,

though, is that it gives you an opportunityto show your home at its best to many pro-spectivebuyers at a time, andhopefully gen-erate several offers to purchase once theyhave seen it.“Indeed,multipleoffersarequitecommon

at the moment because of the shortage ofhomes for sale in popular areas – and this

can save you weeks of “tidying up” everytimeyouragentneeds tobringan individualbuyer round for a private viewing.”In addition, says Davel, a show day early

in the marketing process is an opportunityfor the agent and the seller to get “live feed-back”fromprospectivebuyers thatwillhelpto validate the current asking price.It may also enable the seller to make a

quick adjustment if necessary to bring it inlinewithwhat buyers in the area are actual-ly prepared to pay.“In some cases it can also help the seller

to find outwhat needs to be done to the prop-erty to make it more appealing and salea-

ble,” Davel explains.But itmustbesaid,henotes, thatnotevery

agent can handle a show day correctly.“There really is a lotmore to it than being

on site and handing out business cards. Tomaximise theopportunity,ashowdayneedsto be publicised properly, security arrange-ments need to be put in place, and the agentneeds tobeable to sort outwhichof the showhouse visitors are really interested fromthose that are just nosey,” Davel says.“And this is another reason for sellers to

ensure that they work only with properlyqualified agents who are experienced andhave a track record of good results.”

Goinggreen could sell yourpropertyMore andmore homebuyers are becom-ing increasingly interested in homes of-fering green elements.

Adrian Goslett, regional director andCEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa, notesthe term “green home” has become some-what of a buzz word in the housing market,as a growing number of homebuyers con-sider energy efficiency as an important fac-tor when searching for the perfect proper-ty.

“Buyers are looking for both energy-sav-ing features, as well as environmentally-friendly features. Other features at the topof many buyers’ lists are homes which areclose to parks, public transportation andsuburbs with walkways,” Goslett says.

“Most homeowners who decide to under-take green renovation projects do so to helpconserve energy and reduce their utilitycosts.

“However, going green can sometimes bechallenging and should be done correctlyto ensure the right result is achieved.”

He adds there are a great deal of greenproducts available to homeowners, so it isimportant that they carefully consider theoptions and make the right choices whendeciding on products.

According to Goslett, homeownersshould consider the following pointerswhen looking at green products:

) Ensure the appropriate insulation isinstalled in the area being renovated;

) Use high-efficiency windows ratherthan those which only minimally meet en-ergy-efficiency standards;

) Use only low-flow water fixtures; and) Appliances are graded from “A” to “G”

to indicate the energy consumption of theproduct, with the letter “A” indicating ituses energy most efficiently.

Goslett adds homeowners who are look-ing to install green features in their homeswill be able to recover a percentage of thecost when they decide to sell, as buyers areplacing a higher value on homes offeringthese features.

“A survey conducted by the National As-sociation of Home Builders (NAHB) re-vealed that 72% of potential homebuyersreported energy-efficient features in ahome would influence their purchasing de-cision. Around 61% of the same buyerswould be prepared to spend an additionalR50 000 to R100 000 on a home with featureswhich would reduce utility costs,” Goslettexplains.

“Considering that most homes were builtmany years ago before energy-efficiencydevelopments, if a home has newly reno-vated green elements, it could be a buyer’sdream.

“Featuring the green renovations whenthe home is listed, could give the buyer add-ed value and the seller a unique market ad-vantage.”

Making the decision to add green fea-tures to a home need not be an overwhelm-ing process, and it is not necessary to makethe entire home eco-friendly.

A homeowner can start by making smallchanges at first such as installing energy-efficient lighting.

“Installing an automated thermostat onthe geyser will also help to reduce costs byensuring the geyser is only heating waterat certain key times. Once these changeshave been made, a homeowner can com-pare their utility costs and show the reduc-tion of costs to the agent is marketing theirhome,” Goslett says.

“The agent will be able to use this as oneof the selling points of the home to potentialbuyers. With the cost of living and electrici-ty increasing, any savings can be a majorinfluence on buyers. If the property offerssimilar features to others in the area, butcosts less to operate, it will grab their atten-tion.”

It is also important to market the thingswhich potential buyers may not see whenthey first look at the home.

Features such as insulation aren’t some-thing homeowners often think to promote,but, if the home is well insulated it can bea big selling point.

“While one of the reasons for going greenis to save money on costs and attract buyersto the home, it is not the only reason. Itis also about sustainability and reducingthe household’s effect on the environmentand its surroundings. A home with greenelements will not only cut costs, it will alsocut the home’s carbon footprint,” Goslettconcludes.

Figures quoted last week by MikevanAlphen,nationalmanagerof theRawson Property Group’s bondorigination division, Rawson Fi-nance, show that interest in buyingmore expensive homes, like thosewith a value of R4m to R10m, has in-creased and the average value of theindividual bonds being applied forthis year is consequently likely to be14 to 16% higher than in 2014.

This, said Tony Clarke, managingdirector of the Rawson PropertyGroup, is just one of many indica-tors giving reason to believe thatresidential property in South Africais in for a satisfactory 2015.

Another important indication,said Clarke, is rents. Figures fromthe respected analysts, TPN, showthat since 2011 the number of ten-ants in good standing with theirlandlords – paying on time or rea-sonably close to the specified date–has improved by 6%, from 79% in2011 to 85% in the last quarter of2014.

What ismore, figures fromRental-Connect, the Rawson PropertyGroup’srentalmanagementsystem,show that inflation on residentialrents is now running at close to 7,5%per annum and is set to remain atthis level or above it for 2015.

Also particularly encouraging,said Clarke, are the latest figures re-garding the number of first timehome buyers being awarded bonds.Today 36% of these applicants arebeing given bonds, many with 100%loans.

Figures from Rawson Developers,added Clarke, show that investorstoo are back in the market with avengeance with projects like “TheBeaumont” and “The Rondebosch”seeing over 45% of the units beingsold to buy-to-let investors.

“Property,” said Clarke, “has tra-ditionally been an economic corner-stone in the western world and inmanyeasterneconomies—andwiththe many countries, including theNetherlands, Germany, Denmarkand the USA, now recovering, prop-erty will continue to attract inves-tors. Today, high net worth individ-uals from both the west and easthave35 to40%of theirassets inprop-erty and those predicting a slow-down in the appreciation rates donot realise how strong demand hasbecome.”

Asked how this will impact on theRawson Property Group, which nowhas over 220 franchises, Clarke saidthat he is budgeting for a 30% aver-age growth this year.

“It is,” he said, “definitely achiev-able.”

Good reasonsto be optimistic

Loosening the ropesforbondapplicantsReports from various sources indicat-ing that South African banks are noweasing up on their bond loan criteriahave been confirmed by the nationalmanagerof abondoriginationdivisionwith a countrywide footprint.

Mike van Alphen, national manager ofRawson Finance, one of the faster growingbond originators in South Africa, says cer-tain banks are now showing a real hungerto get back into the bond finance marketand have slightly relaxed on some of themore stringentclauses in theirbond loan criteria.

“Previously, thegenerally acceptednorm was for thebanks to give ap-proved creditwor-thy customers a90% loan at prime,9,25% plus 0,75%. Now we are seeing 90%bonds awarded at prime minus 0,45% –again provided the client is deemed credit-worthy,” Van Alphen explains.

“This is a significant change, especiallyas in many cases it has been applied notjust to the banks’ clients, but to a widerrange of the public who have not previous-ly dealt with them.”

Therecords,VanAlphenadds,showthatthe banks acting in this way in a very shorttime period are increasing their marketshare not only with Rawson Finance, butoverall.

“One has to welcome the growth of amore competitive spirit among the banks,butat thesametimeit isreassuringtoreal-ise that this time there is no likelihood atall of irresponsible or reckless spending.

The National Credit Act has put an end tothat once and for all.”

Throughout the market, says Van Al-phen, there has been a reduction in unse-cured loans – down by some 5% – and thisis accompanied by a stronger desire by theless affluent sections of the population tobecomebonafidehomeowners,thevirtuesof this being increasingly appreciated.

The biggest demand is in the R800 000 toR1,5m price bracket, but both above andbelow these price levels there is now an in-creasingly strong call for bond finance and

it is particularlypleasing to findthatinterest inup-market homes isreviving.

“If the banks in-volved in the newpolicies do not getcold feet,” saysVan Alphen, “and

continuetooperateontheselines,itshouldbe possible for Rawson Finance to up itsturnover by 8 to 10% this year and to im-prove its current 65% success rate on bondapplications to around 70% plus.”

Van Alphen adds there is still a percep-tion among the less well informed home-buyers that calling on the services of abond originator will add to their overallcosts.

In reality, he says, the exact opposite istrue: the banks pay the originators’ feesand bond originators by contacting a widerange of possible financiers and tend to getthe most competitive quotes for their cli-ents.

It is worth noting that today 60% ofawarded bonds have been routed throughbond originators.

FINALLYONOURSHORES: LARGER VERSIONOF THEGOLF

VolkswagenGolf SV: thebrilliantplusVolkswagenGolf SV: thebrilliantplusHANJO STIER

Although we are blessed with amultitude of cars – some mayeven argue abundance – thereare somemodelswhichwedon’tget. Next to any left-hand-drive-only examples, quite a few sub-species don’t always make it toourshores.Onesuchcarwas theVolkswagen Golf Plus.

I’ve used the word “was” for tworeasons; firstly, VW South Africahas finally decided to bring in thethird edition and secondly, the big-ger Golf is now called a Golf SV(short for Sports Van). You justread the simplest explanation ofwhat this car is – a larger versionof the Golf.If you’re comically inclined, im-

agine aWile E Coyote setup wherea shot of compressed air goes up aregular Golf’s tailpipe. Poof, jobdone. I could end this text now,throw in a reference to the JumboGolf (MkII) and meep-meep downthe sunset-drenched road butthere’s waymore that I need to tellyou.Based on the same multi-vehicle

MQB platform, SV has a superiorwheel base among its many largerdimensions but doesn’t share a sin-gle body panel with its namesake.The only similarities are badges,wheels, some interior trim, switch-esandbuttons.Mostofwhichyou’llalso find on other VWs.The grand plan is, of course, add-

ed space andbetter functionality aswell as improved visibility on thealready superbly capable Golf. AlltheotherdesirableVWcharacteris-tics like build quality, safety andease of use have not only been re-tained but improved on. Golf SV al-so has a higher driving position.

Its looks are highly commenda-ble as every SV casts a few hints toits parent but has its own identitywith those chiseled good looks,modern lightclusters, subtledetail-ing and a prominent shoulder line.It certainly doesn’t look like a Golfthat’s been at the bottom of a laketoo long.Panel gaps and paint quality are

on the usual excellent standardsdue to SV being built next to otherVolksiebrethrenatthemothershipin Wolfsburg. As for its cabin, anyuntrained eyes may immediatelymistake itwith thatofaGolfbut the

keen observer will notice how ev-erything has puffed-up. Grown abit.Dials, screens, knobs, handles,

materials are all familiar but you’llnotice that the dashboard is deeperto accommodate the SV’s biggerwindscreen. The next two evidentimprovements are rear leg room(withseats thatcanslide18 cm)andthe slightly more cavernous bootwhich can swallow a class-leading500 L.Volkswagen demonstrated the

cargoroomversatility tousbyplac-ing the removable parcel shelf in a

pre-molded slot under the bootfloor. The rear seat backs can foldin a 40-20-40 arrangement for allshapes and kinds of loads with thefull cargo area turningGolf SV intoany estate car’s nightmare.Under the boot floor you’ll also

find a full-size alloy spare wheelwhich can be removed to makeroomforaVWbicycle rack.Clever.Very clever.Halfmy friendsareob-sessed with mountain bicycles andthe other half won’t touch a car ifit doesn’t have a full size spaarwiel.Other notable goodies are front

seat drawers anda 1.5 Lbottle hold-

er in each door. Standard equip-ment depends on themodel boughtbut all Golf SVs have decent basespecifications which include nu-merous driver aids, seven airbags,comfort and infotainment items, aswell asmulti-collision brake assist-ance.Cheaper models ship without

somecolour codingand shiny trim,seat adjustments and other goodiesbutprovidegoodvaluewithpricingroughly R15 000 above the equiva-lent Golf. The current range in-cludes 1.2 TFSi (81 kW), 1.4 TFSi(92 kW) and 2.0 TDi (81kW), Trend-lineorComfortline,ManualorDSGAuto.Check with your nearest dealer-

ship for exact pricingwhich shouldhover between R292 500 andR359 200 without options. A3-year/120 000 km warranty and5-year/90 000 km service plan areincluded. I drove only TFSi modelson the launch but sampled bothgearboxes in various conditions;they are outstanding.The Golf SV’s road manners are

exemplary for family transport –comfortable, quiet and predictable.As expected, it drives like a slightlytallerGolf andwith itskeenpricingthetwonearestandnewestGermancompetitors can’t match this carspec-to-spec at VW’s sticker prices.Throughoutmy interaction with

the car I was reminded of my cous-in, a Volkswagen fanwho carts herkids around in aTouran. That littlevanwillgetsufficientdistancefromGolf SVwith seven seats for all newmodels; which makes this Golf SVthe perfect next car for cuzzie andher brood.Thatbringsmeback tomy initial

point. The brilliant Golf Plus / SVshould’ve arrived here much soon-er. Galimoto Media

Mahindra South Africa has ex-tended its highly successfulrangeofBoleropick-upswith thelaunch of the Bolero MaxitruckPlus – a single-cab workhorsebakkie specifically focussed onproviding a maximised payload,low running costs and rugged re-liability at an affordable pricepoint.

The new Bolero Maxitruck Pluscombines a large load box with aneconomical, torque-focussed tur-bodiesel engine to achieve an excep-tional payload while achieving highfuelefficiency.At thesametime, theaffordable price tag allows a re-duced acquisition cost, while bene-fiting the overall cost of ownership.

The new Maxitruck Plus is in-stantly recognisable as a member ofthe Bolero family, thanks to its boldfront-end styling, emphasised bythe vertically slotted grille, squareheadlights, extended bonnet andpronounced wheel arches.

However, the newcomer does fulljustice to its Maxitruck Plus desig-nation by offering an extendedwheelbase of 3 150 mm, compared tothe normal Bolero’s 3 014 mm – a 4,5percent increase that accounts forthe Maxitruck’s large load box.

The Maxitruck Plus boasts the

same, robust sheet metal body pan-els as the rest of the Bolero range,ensuring that the load box easilycopeswiththedailybumpandgrindassociatedwithworkhorsebakkies.

Powering the new Bolero Maxi-truck Plus is Mahindra’s M2DICR2,5-litre turbodiesel engine. De-signed for rugged reliability, ex-tendedservice lifeandsuperior low-down torque, the four-cylinder, di-rect-injection unit is tough enoughtocopewithheavyloads,andthehotand high operating conditions typi-cal of the high altitudes at the Reef.

The turbodiesel engine is credit-ed with a maximum power outputof 46 kW at just 3 200 r/min, com-bined with an impressive torquepeak of 195 Nm, already availablefrom just 1 400 r/min, and sustainedto 2 200 r/min.

The result is a vehicle that can beloadedtocapacity,whilestillcopingwith the most challenging operat-ing conditions – from steep inclinesand compromised road surfaces tolong distances and extreme temper-ature variations. A five-speed man-ual gearbox provides a good spreadof ratios to make the most of the en-gine’s output.

Despite its impressive payload,the Maxitruck Plus achieves an im-pressive average fuel consumptionfigure of 7,0 litres/100 km in thecombined cycle.

The Bolero Maxitruck Plusmakes short work of heavy loads byemploying a stout suspension sys-tem, designed to endure punish-ment without compromising relia-bility, regardless of road condi-tions.

Both front and rear axles are rigiddesigns, and make use of a tried andtrusted, progressive leaf spring sus-pension, combined with hydraulicdampers. Hydraulic power steeringeases steering effort and greatly en-hances the driving experience.

A revised steering geometry hasallowed a significant reduction inturning circle to just 11,0 metres,significantly enhancing manoeu-vrability in tight spaces while bene-fiting overall ease of use and conve-

nience, especially in restricted spa-ces.

The new Mahindra pick-up runson 15-inch steel wheels shod with195/80 R15 tyres. The added flexibil-ity of the taller tyre profile benefitsboth load carrying capacity andoverall ride comfort. A 170 mmground clearance ensures that theMaxitruck easily copes with roughterrain, despite being rear-wheeldrive only.

An improved braking system fea-tures front disc brakes combinedwith rear drums. A load-sensingproportionate valve (LSPV) en-hances retardation when brakinghard, especially when the bakkie isfully laden.

Wide-opening doors and a conve-

nient side step provide easy accessto a functional, comfortable andsafe cabin with plenty of room fortwo. A transponder immobiliser isstandard, providing theft deter-rence and adding peace of mind.

The interior features stylish clothupholstery, a two-tone instrumentpanel and an auxiliary power point,allowing smartphones to becharged on the move. The finishesand materials reflect the Maxi-truck’s tough character, promisinglong-term durability.

The new Mahindra Bolero Maxi-truck Plus is offered at a recom-mended retail price of R127 995 andis supported by a two-year/50 000 km warranty. Servicesare at 10 000 km intervals.

OpelCorsa: thevibrant fifthgeneration jobbyHANJO STIER

Small hatchbacks are a staple ingredientof the motoring industry. Everybody hasastoryto tell involvingoneof thesepracti-calandaffordableautomobiles, fromdriv-ing lessons to ownership and road trips.Thus I’m sure that somewhere in yourmemorybanks,youmayalsohaveanOpelCorsa lurking about.

My favourite recollection is a vibrant pur-ple two-door Corsa driven by an equally vi-brant girl named Karin. Although we initiallymocked her for this automotive choice andhue, Karin’s little German runabout ferrieda lot of people about, so it eventually earneda lotof respect;andanicknameunfit forpubli-cation.

That car was a first generation Opel Corsa,although technically it was a second-gen car.South Africa never got “Corsa A” which livedelsewhere from the eighties to mid-nineties.Fast forward a few models and this is thebrand-new “Corsa E”, three models androughly 150 000 sales down the line from Ka-rin’s purple jobby.

Completely redesigned from grill to tailpipe, gen five Corsa features high-tech en-gines, exciting design and features, wrappedup in approachable German engineering. Somuch for the marketing blurb. Over 110 000orders and three car-of-the-year titles in Eu-rope underline its new qualities.

Sculptured design with LED highlights anda quality, functional interior are a slightlymore grown-up formula than that of Opel’s re-centnewborn–theAdam.Onlyavailablewiththree doors, Adam is high on individualisa-tion and allows trendy buyers to build theirvery own fashion accessory on alloys.

We drove only 1.0T models at the Corsa’srecent launch and found every car to providea pleasing mix of performance and comfort.The new motor idles smoothly and providesa linear punch of power for high-rev excur-sions or a constant shove of torque to overtakesafely in all but top gear / high speed scenari-os.

The new touch-screen multimedia systemisinstinctive,allswitchgearisintuitivelylaidout and the instrument trip computer pro-vides plenty of vehicle info. Low-speed ma-noeuvrability and all-round visibility are justas commendable as high-speed stability andbraking ability.
