JHB people! I've got a picnic blanket 24/7 in the car, so can chuck that underneath if need be. But honestly now, how many flat tires do you get? I've had 2 in 10 years of driving.

Honda HR-V anyone? Just released, might be a bit pricey.
It's worth it in my books for the extra row of seats. I need them far more often than I need the spare.

R400 000 isn't afforable to the average family.
I remember when you could buy a house in George for R300 000 lol

Ja, I'll probably buy a 2015 model in 2020...that is ofcourse, if I can find one with low mileage......

did you find your 2015 model this year Beans ?
Most cars now aren't made where their brands originate from. Look at the Toyota corolla, a staple of the Toyota brand. A large portion of it is made in durban south Africa.

Lol....nope. Not buying, yet. Still rocking the 2009 Livina. I might buy an old NP200 bakkie, end of the year. Will see if the mood strike.

The previous Everest was imported from Thailand and our current model is made here in South Africa and also exported.
I would also be very surprised if our XC90 and the Cr-V are made in India. Indian made trademark is cheap and nasty.
