Was standing at a red traffic light (in the middle of the day) waiting for it to change when a woman drove nicely into then back of me.Lol
Why is the cabbie in for repairs? Place don’t say DUI
Luckily my tow bar saved me from much worse damage. Her car on the other hand was fooked
PS. getting back to the Suzuki Celery. There are 2 particularly irritation things about the car.
1.) The right aircon vent is totally obstructed by the steering wheel.
2.) Due to the angle of the windscreen, when the sun is at a certain position it shines on the cover on the instrument panel and you cannot see the speedometer. You literally have to block it out with your hand to see how fast you are going

Toyota Vitz for SA! Rebadged Suzuki Celerio to Replace Agya
Toyota SA Motors will kill off the Agya budget hatch later in 2023, replacing it with a rebadged Suzuki Celerio called the Vitz. Meet what will be Toyota’s new cheapest car…
Toyota South Africa Motors looks set to reap the rewards of yet another vehicle collaboration with alliance partner Suzuki, with the Celerio-based Vitz confirmed for a local introduction in the 2nd quarter of 2023.
The Japanese firm’s local division made the announcement at its 6th annual State of the Motor Industry (SOMI 2023) event, held at Kyalami in Gauteng. The vehicle – which from what we understand is not yet offered with a Toyota badge in any other market – was unveiled on stage at the event.
Reviving a nameplate that has roots stretching back to 1998 and was once applied to the Yaris offered in the automaker’s domestic market of Japan, the Vitz will replace the Agya in South Africa. For the record, the latter model (itself based on the Daihatsu Ayla) hit local roads at the end of 2020, replacing the Aygo.

New Toyota Vitz budget hatch revealed in SA and it’s giving us Déjà vu
The Toyota Vitz is set to become the company’s entry-level offering in South Africa and if you think it looks familiar your eyes are not deceiving you.
The new, or not-so-new, hatchback was unveiled at Toyota’s State of the Motor Industry (SOMI) event, held in Johannesburg on Thursday, and it’s basically a rebadged Suzuki Celerio.
Toyota’s partnership with Maruti Suzuki of India is nothing new, and has already brought us the Starlet, Urban Cruiser and Rumion. Apart from the badging, there is no visual differentiation between the Vitz and the Celerio that it’s based on and South Africa is the first market to receive this model, and may remain the only.
The Toyota Vitz will be officially launched in the second quarter of 2023, and no pricing or specification details have been released as yet. That said, it’s unlikely to stray far from the Celerio’s price range of R178 900 to R213 900.
That means it could come in cheaper than the Toyota Agya that it replaces, which currently retails for between R200 000 and R219 900.

Toyota has a busy year ahead, here is the verdict of SOMI 2023
The State of the Motor Industry (SOMI) has given Toyota the opportunity to provide a taste of what is to come throughout the year. Along with pertinent news to the South African market, Toyota South Africa Motors unveiled several new vehicles, some already familiar to us, others pushing the envelope of what green technology is available at the moment.
Toyota Vitz
Look familiar? Fruits from the joint venture with Suzuki, the latest Vitz will continue where the Agya left off. Slotting beneath the Starlet, it will be available in Q2 and will more than likely boast a similar sub-R200 000 pricetag to its Japanese twin

The familiar looking Toyota Vitz intends on embracing affordability
One of the cornerstones of Toyota, when it was founded in South Africa, was offering affordability to all those who aspired for private mobility. A recent addition to their local lineup embraces this mantra wholeheartedly, albeit with an already familiar face. This is the new Toyota Vitz.
The State of the Motor Industry address by Toyota representatives at Kyalami enables us, the motoring media to gauge where the Japanese manufacturer is heading over the next calendar year. It also serves as a platform to introduce new models, display new technology and engage with the media.
Obvious aside, this is a rebadged Suzuki Celerio, which forms another arm of the collaboration between the two manufacturers which as a result, provides more cost-effective R&D and production, making the end product more affordable for the consumer – remember this for the pricing details later on! From an initial glance, other than the centrally mounted Toyota badge fore and aft, the only other change is the Vitz moniker which sits on the boot lid. This means the model is presumably identical underneath as well.
If this is the case, the frugal 1,0-litre motor under the bonnet is good for 49 kW and 89 N.m and will likely be paired to either a five-speed manual or AMT gearbox.

Me and my sister is going to Suzuki Rosebank this weekend to look at the Celerio. Maybe ask them what they can do with my TATA Bolt and my settlement on the car etc.

So went to test drive one today. It was the AMT model. Very nice little car. The AMT is a bit sluggish though to change gears from 1st to 2nd and revs rather high. I told the sales guy I will rather look at the manual one. But I really like the car. Handles the bumpy roads pretty much as my Tata does. Next weekend going to look at the Hyundai Grand I10 and will then compare deals etc. The Hyundai only comes with 1 year 15 000 service plan while the Celerio comes with double that.
