Saw a Kwid crawling around a circle it kept lifting it's back right leg trying to pee on the verge.
I have a friend she bought Renault Kwid her reasons are she wanted her first car to be brand new and like someone said people are scared of second hand cars.
Cars are so expensive to afford a brand new car these days balloon payment must be included. Looking at that VW Jetta where are you going to get R80k to pay off the last installment yoh.
VW's quoted "Total cost of credit" could be a bit misleading for the purpose of the summary.
Who in their right mind will pay R54 600 odd upfront and then another R5800 for 32 months just to drive a GTI and hand the keys back?
// o sorry, this is SA and every Tom, Dick and Harry wants to drive one :erm:
Yoh, have some humour man, of course I know very well the Kugas are the problem, that doesn't change the fact that Ford's reputation is shot to shyte. I would not buy any Ford whatsoever due to how they handled the Kuga stuff-up, no matter how good the deal is.Please may you back up this statement with any Fiesta's blowing up? As well as Renault's being unreliable across the range from the last 4 years?

Renaults I have anecdotal evidence only, but it's more than enough for me, these Renaults have been in my immediate family over the years and every single one of them, without exception, had electrical problems:
- Renault 5TS (1980-something)
- Renault 9 (1980-something)
- Renault Laguna (2000-someting)
- Renault Megane (2012)
- Renault Duster (2016)
One would think over almost 4 decades they'd figure out how to kill that problem for good, but no, again, they have a reputation. Will never buy the crap they produce.
