EXCLUSIVE ESTATE:SAFE AND WIND­FREE

Rare opportunity in Vredenzicht Top sales associate and businessman, Roger Ramos, celebrated his first anniversary with the RE/MAX Helderberg Sales Team this month.

Ramos comes from a strong business and construction background, and is therefore able to offer clients sound, professional advice on property values and investment, as well as on construction.

Ramos has concluded sales exceeding all expectations throughout 2014, and has been instrumental in the advancement and growth of the management of the business.

Ramos currently has on sole mandate a lovely 3-bedroom home in Vredenzicht Estate, Somerset West. “This property is in tiptop condition, and Vredenzicht Estate is very popular with families seeking a safe, wind-free environment and a country-type lifestyle.

“This North facing home offers three spacious bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom featuring Travertine tiles, and access to individual balconies with farmland and Table Mountain views,” explains Ramos.

“This one won’t wait,” he adds, “this is really a home to fall in love with!”

Clean lines and upmarket finishes throughout the home add to the appeal of the property.

A large open plan living space (consisting of lounge, dining room and spacious kitchen), and the spectacular upstairs entertainment patio featuring a Jacuzzi make this a great property for entertaining and for enjoying a glass of chilled wine, while taking in the Roger Ramos, top sales associate late evening sunsets. and businessman at RE/MAX, re­ Vredenzicht Estate cently celebrated his first anniversa­ contains only 33 units – ry with the RE/MAX sales team.

Turnkey freestanding Village Homes at Sitari Country Estate now for sale

The launch of the first pocket of 13 Village Homes at Sitari Country Estate, set between the N2 and the R102 neighbouring Croydon Vineyard and Olive Estates near Somerset West, on 17 October saw three of them being sold within 24 hours.

The Village Homes are sold as turnkey completed freestanding homes, featuring contemporary farm-style designs with a strong emphasis on open-plan living and luxury finishes throughout, and are priced from R2 298 000 to R2 984 000, including all costs.

Each of the Village Homes offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a double garage with direct access, with a number of configurations to choose from. Common features of the Village Homes are a covered entrance; open-plan fullyfitted kitchen with engineered stone counter-top, a German-spec Miele oven, electric or gas hob and extractor; and open-plan dining room and living room. There is access onto a spacious terrace with built-in braai and pergola from the lounge and hallway. The main bedroom is en suite and features sliding doors to outside, where there is the option of a fitted saltwater swimming pool. The other two bedrooms in these homes share a large full family bathroom.

The Village Homes vary in size from 167 m² to 213 m² and are situated on plots that range from

An artist’s impression of the Sitari Village Homes.

365 m² to 505 m². Luxury fittings and finishes include porcelain tiles in the dining and living areas, 100% wool carpets or vinyl floors in the bedrooms, Grohe taps throughout, walk-in showers and wall-hung toilets in the bath-

rooms, plus a range of optional extras. No DSTV or TV antennae will be installed to ruin the outlook, since the development will have a centralised network system with conduits and draw boxes in each garage, enabling high-speed con-

nectivity.

Living at Sitari Country Estate means living right on nature’s doorstep, enjoying leisurely walks around a wetland of indigenous plants or an easy cycle on the 14 km bike path, relaxing in lush,

green parks where kids can play freely and safely, or taking an evening swim in the residents’ pool at the Country Clubhouse.

The estate is set to offer everything its residents could possibly require for their day-to-day living, including office space, meeting rooms, a deli-restaurant, Crossfit TRF gymnasium, Curro independent school, a shopping centre and a retirement village.

Access to the estate is primarily through the imposing main gatehouse, which also houses the security control room. Each property is linked to this control room via a telephonic intercom system.

Both the main and secondary gatehouses will have biometric readers, number-plate recognition and 24/7 manned access control.

With only 10 Village Homes left at this stage, would-be buyers are urged to move quickly, since the earliest offerings are likely to be the best priced, and as roll-out of this development accelerates, popularity is expected to soar further. The on-site Sales Centre is open daily and offers a large-scale estate model for buyers to view at their leisure.

Expected transfer of first phase erven will be in June 2015, while expected transfer of the first batch of completed Village Homes and of the apartments in The Grand Olive is late 2015.

Estimated completion of the Curro School ready for pupil intake is set for January 2016.

Bag a bargain at the new Strand Gardens The marketing of the new Strand Gardens development, located on the last piece of land in the quiet and sought-after suburb of Onverwacht in the Strand, is now kicking into gear according to Seeff agent, Loryn Alberts.

The development comprises of just 31 new architecturally designed own title homes priced between R634 000 and R899 000 inclusive of transfer duty and all costs.

There is a choice of two or three bedrooms and several interior layouts for the homes, that range in size from 45 m² to 71 m². The plot sizes range from 144 m² to 411 m². The modern interiors include open-plan living areas and a choice of finishes in three colour tones. All homes will have an optional single garage along with landscaped gardens. The homes will be enclosed on three sides.

Buyers therefore have excellent flexibility to choose a home that suits their lifestyle needs and budget, says Alberts. Seeff is also

The development is particularly suited to first time buyers and retirees looking for an affordable home in a secure location. It is also an ideal opportunity for buy-to-let investors to capitalise on the strong demand for rental homes in the Strand. The homes are expected to fetch a monthly rate of upwards of R5 000 per month.

Strand Gardens is about ten minutes’ drive from the sea and Gordon’s Bay is also close by. The Strand’s close proximity to the city, only about forty minutes’ drive, makes it an affordable alternative for buyers, says Alberts.

With the Hottentots Holland Mountains forming a scenic backdrop, a Blue-Flag beach and excellent infrastructure including good schools, medical care and convenient shopping facilities, residents seldom have to leave the area, unless it is for work or leisure purposes.

EXPERT OPINION

Helderberg still in high demand from up-country and out-of-town buyers in the price range of R1,5 to R2,5 million. In these price ranges there is less stock available to choose from, and selling times have reduced from over 150 days to less than 100 days in some cases.

Properties that are correctly priced when initially listed have been known to sell within a few days of listing.

It’s also encouraging to see that investor buyers are re-surfacing and are purchasing in new developments off plan.

They have seen how rental demand and rentals have increased this year. This improves their return on investment, thus making the investment viable.

As estate agents, we’re interested to know what motivates purchasers moving into the area. There is an overwhelming sentiment that the pace of life and quality of lifestyle are very appealing, especially to families.

When we consider that others are prepared to uproot their families to relocate here, it would be good for us to

The love affair that buyers have with the Helderberg area is far from over.

Since the 1990s buyers from further north have been relocating to the Western Cape, and especially to the Helderberg. Reports show that this trend continues, and in some market sectors is even strengthening.

There has been a noticeable increase in the number of executives relocating to the area. In many cases these purchasers believe that the lifestyle offered in the Helderberg area is so appealing that they are prepared to commute to Gauteng for business in the week.

There has also been an increase in the number of out-of-town buyers purchasing in developments. Many are putting pen to paper and are prepared to scale down in the size of property in exchange for the security offered in these estates, and the benefit of moving into a brand new home.

There is particularly strong demand

“stop and smell the roses”, so to speak.

Let’s make time to visit the local wine farms, take a sunset stroll on the beach, or picnic in the nature reserve.

With worsening conditions in other parts of South Africa, it’s most likely that the trend will continue for purchasers to relocate to the Western Cape.

One of the negatives that we sometimes hear is that Capetonians can be “clicky”. Creating a new circle of friends can be daunting, for parents and children alike.

So next time we meet someone from up north who has moved in, why not show them some hospitality? Meet your new neighbours and make them feel welcome. Introduce them to your friends. At the end of the day what really makes the Western Cape special is the people.

Let’s build our community and thus add value, not only to our properties, but also to other peoples’ lives.

Top 5 tips for holiday home purchases As the year winds down, many South Africans will be making plans to spend some time in the country’s top leisure destinations over their holiday period, says Adrian Goslett, CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa. He notes that this is the ideal time of year for buyers to get a feel for the property market in these areas, especially if they are planning on acquiring a leisure property.

“As the momentum within the property market continues to gain traction, it can be expected that the demand for holiday homes will gradually start to increase, which means we are likely to see slow but steady growth in the leisure property sector of the market,” says Goslett. “With the large number of inland holidaymakers visiting the coastal regions during the months ahead, we can expect to see the number of property transactions within these areas increase.”

Goslett notes that areas like the Atlantic Seaboard in the Cape, the Garden Route and the KwaZulu-Natal north coast are likely to see an increase in demand for luxury and leisure properties, as are the Big-5 areas in the northern regions of the country.

“Those who can access the necessary finance can escape to a second home that is away from the hustle and bustle of city life to enjoy the lifestyle benefits these types of properties offer,” says Goslett.

He adds that property is considered to be a strong asset class in which to invest, particularly over the medium to long term. A leisure property can prove to be a home to enjoy as well as an investment that generates healthy returns. “However, as with any property investment, when looking to purchase a leisure property there are several aspects that buyers should consider before deciding to commit financially,” advises Goslett.

He notes that buyers need to look at the key factors that will impact on the property’s investment potential. Goslett provides the top five tips that holiday home buyers should consider carefully: 1. Location The importance of location should never be underestimated. “It’s not anything that hasn’t been said before, but location remains ever important. Buyers need to ensure that they research the area and establish the level of property appreciation it has achieved over the past year. Other factors to consider are how well-maintained the area and its facilities are, as well as the general

market conditions prevailing in the suburb,” says Goslett.

2. What the future holds Goslett advises that property should ideally be viewed as a long-term investment, so buyers should not just look at the area as it is now, but must take into consideration the future plans and possible development in the future. He notes that where possible buyers should find out what infrastructure or development is planned for the region, along with zoning and transport routes or nodes that may affect the tranquillity of the area.

3. Finance position

“A holiday home should provide you with a place to relax, and not be a source of stress and financial strain. Before venturing into any leisure property investment it is imperative for holiday home buyers to consider their financial position, paying particular attention to the acquisition costs such as a deposit, transfer fees and conveyancing fees,” says Goslett. “Other aspects that also need to be considered are the impact of possible interest rate increases, ongoing monthly maintenance, security and insurance costs as well as the rates, taxes and utility tariffs in the area.”

4. From a distance According to Goslett, holiday home buyers should also consider the practical implications of owning and managing a property in a different town. “It might be necessary for the owner to hire a professional property management company that can conduct regular inspections and screen, select and place tenants. These fees need to be added into the overall budget,” advises Goslett.

5. Use it or lose it Although it is possible to receive a rental income from a holiday home during the times when the owner is not using it, there is little point in keeping a holiday home that is seldom or never used by the owner. Goslett says that before purchasing a holiday property, the buyer will need to establish whether the cost of owning and maintaining the property is worth their while. It is far better to focus on paying off a primary residence, than it is to incur debt on an additional property that will not be used very often.

“As with any property purchase, a good investment decision will be based on the buyer doing all the necessary homework and comparisons. Buyers must be sure that the investment they are making is worth the financial commitment they are laying down to acquire it,” Goslett concludes.

PAARL/WELLINGTON 18 Paarl Post Historic Paarl farmhouse in the market

BOLAND SOLD

13 November, 2014

Many South Africans who are conscious of their country’s past and proud of its architectural history, traditionally hanker after a solid, thick-walled Cape farmhouse style home of the kind that were the standard accommodation for many of the country’s affluent citizens in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Today these come onto the market fairly rarely but when they do, says Lizette Joubert, franchisee for the Rawson Property Group in Paarl (a town with more than its fair share of such homes), it is always something ofa property event – and considerable interest is engendered among buyers throughout the country.

That is what is happening now with regard to one such home which has come to the market in Paarl’s Lemoenkloof area — the home, says

This historic Paarl farmhouse is now in the market.

Hesdarie Uys, the Rawson Property Group’s Paarl agent handling it, is thought to have been built in about 1870 and still has many of the

features and fittings of a large 19th century farmhouse – Oregon pine floors, a cast iron fireplace in the living room, small pane and sliding sash windows, wooden ceilings and a long voorstoep which overlooks a vineyard.

The home has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two garages and a garden (in good condition). The building’s layout is U-shaped and therefore encloses the swimming pool and gives it great privacy.

Joubert has pointed out that a home of this quality (and one so abundantly full of character) would easily achieve a price of R6 million in the central Cape Peninsula suburbs, but here the price has been set at R2 750 000.

“Time and again,” she said, “we have urged buyers who want the Platteland lifestyle and who expect to pay ‘a reasonable price’ for their home to look at what is on offer in Paarl.”

Brand new 3 bedroom home with en-suite in Denneburg.

Today’s younger homebuyers search for ‘homes for life’ The average age of first-time homebuyers in South Africa has risen from 28 to 36 in the past 10 years.

One of the main reasons for this is that many young executives and professionals are now choosing to delay their first property purchase until they can buy a ‘home for life’.

“There is definitely a school of thought now that says homeowners should not move too often but rather stay put, pay off their home loans and build up their equity,”

“The plan these buyers have is usually to spend money over time on renovating and upgrading a property that already has the space to accommodate a growing family or even ageing parents if necessary, instead of moving repeatedly and incurring legal fees, bond registration costs and transfer duty each time.”

Gray adds that buyers are increasingly conscious of the opportunity they have while interest rates are still relatively low to acquire tomorrow’s home at today’s

says Richard Gray, CEO of Harcourts Real Estate.

“And in keeping with this, we are seeing many young people who might previously have bought a small apartment or townhouse as their first home decide to keep renting instead, until they can afford to buy a bigger property,” he says.

Family homes in older suburbs are becoming a favourite targets for such buyers, says Gray, even if these need modernising and are a bit big for their current needs.

prices, especially if they are able to purchase a home in an established area that is just starting to be ‘gentrified’ and promises significant value growth in years to come.

“There is also a growing preference for homes that are closer to work, shops, schools and other amenities so their owners can spend less time and money commuting, while some buyers want a property with space for a home office or small business that will also be central and easily accessi-

ble for clients,” says Gray.

“And as a result, many older suburbs close to city centres are already enjoying a revival that promises good returns for the current property buyers.”

As for security, he says buyers in these areas have realised living in a gated complex does not necessarily guarantee more security and that it is sometimes more effective to secure their individual homes and participate in neighbourhood watch and other community-building initiatives.

SOLD STELLENBOSCH BOLAND

13 November, 2014

Buying property in Stellenbosch Excellent long-term growth potential keeps Stellenbosch property in high demand. This is according to Dot Foster, broker/owner of RE/MAX Oaktree, who says they have limited space in Stellenbosch, yet there is always a strong demand for property due to the area’s positioning, lifestyle offerings and the university.

She says strong demand and limited supply has ensured that property value has seen excellent appreciation, particularly over the medium to long term. She says a well-positioned, fixer-upper is an especially good buy, with these kinds of homes offering the best appreciation in value over a period of two to five years.

According to Foster, the property market in the Stellenbosch area is divided into two distinct groups of buyers. The first group are those looking for residential properties that offer value for money and are close to the five schools in the area, while the second group are investment buyers who are buying properties for student rentals.

“There is always a large influx of students to the area every year, making a buy-to-rent property viable for investors - the closer to the campus the better. Important factors that investors should consider when looking to buy a student rental are, firstly, security and secondly, parking or the lack thereof. Properties that offer both will secure a far higher rental in-

Stellenbosch property investment is sustainable, due to the year on year influx of students to the town.

come.”

Foster says that for residential homes, the average price range is around R3,2 million, while student apartments on the campus range from R1 million to R2 million, depending on what it offers.

She says a great way for buyers to evaluate whether or not they are getting good value for their money is for them to firstly determine the potential capital gain of the property, and secondly the potential rental income that can be achieved. She says a good example

tive, Foster says the best purchase is one where the property is between 10 and 15 percent below the home’s market value. She says there are several reasons why a property could sell for below its value, such as the seller being desperate to sell, or that the property was initially over-priced and has been on the market for too long.

Both of these factors could have an impact on the gap between the asking price and the actual selling price, she says.

Adrian Goslett, CEO of RE/ MAX of Southern Africa, says while the situation of a home selling for less than its market value benefits buyers, it also underlines the importance of a seller listing their property for the correct price from the onset and working with the right agent who can provide them with guidance.

Statistically, the longer a home is on the market, the less likely it is that a seller will achieve their initial asking price.

Foster says just as it is vital for a seller to appoint the right agent, so too is it important for a buyer to have a good relationship with a trusted, reputable agent for them to be ‘in the know’ as to the good value for money opportunities available in the market.

She says a buyer will often not benefit by shopping around with each and every agent.

Agents, like everyone else, need to have loyal clients, then they will work harder to find the right property, she says.

FIVE OR SEVEN SEATER: UP TO 24 STORAGE COMPARTMENTS

Cross Caddy simplifies driving QUICKPIC With the introduction of the Cross Caddy, Volkswagen is extending its popular Cross lifestyle model range which is currently only available in the Polo model range in South Africa.

With its distinctive design elements and exclusive 17-inch Canyon wheels with 205/50 R 17 tyres, the Cross Caddy differs significantly from other Caddy model range derivatives – whether in the passenger or panel van range.

At first glance, the new Cross Caddy can be easily identified as an independent derivative thanks to its customised exterior elements. The black fairings of the wheel housings, the side sills and at the lower edges of the front and rear bumpers convey a rugged appearance. They stand out prominently from the addon parts in body colour and form a unit with the side sills that rise up into the doors. The silver underbody protection, front and rear, and side guard strips on the sills complete the off-road look. There are also silver coloured roof rails. Privacy-glass on the rear windows and rear windscreen and the smoked rear lights add to the distinctive visual differentiating characteristics.

The same applies to the interior.

The front seats with lumbar support, as well as the workplace behind the leather-trimmed steering wheel impress with their balanced ergonomic properties. Air vents painted in high-gloss black with silver surrounds, front seats in twotone design, the centre armrest that is adjustable in height and length as well as leather accents with grey seams on the gear shift grip and parking brake lever and colour-off-

Cross Caddy has a number of passive safety features such as the latest generation ESC, front, side and head airbags. set inside door trim panels all provide for the right ambience.

In addition, the Cross Caddy simplifies everyday driving tasks with standard features such as cruise control system, Hill Hold Assist, bluetooth mobile phone preparation as well as light and rain sensors.

There are up to 24 storage compartments and cargo nets in the doors (front doors can hold 1,5 litre bottles), on the centre console and centre armrest, in the dashboard sections, in the vehicle floor of the second row of seats, under the driver’s seat and in the roof area. Between the front seats, two drink

holders are part of the storage system; there is another cup holder at the end of the centre console in front of the second row of seats.

Other standard features include a multifunction leather steering wheel, central locking, storage compartments in front of the second row seats, height-adjustable driver’s seat, cargo nets in the roof frame, a sliding drawer under the left front seat and the RCD 310 Radio-CD system and front heated seats.

The Cross Caddy can be ordered as standard five-seater or optional seven-seater.

Similar to other Caddy passenger derivatives, the Cross Caddy has a

number of passive safety features such as the latest generation ESC, front, side and head airbags. It is also equipped with Isofix child seat fittings at the outer second row seats, daytime running lights and a removable second seat row.

Cross Caddy is offered with a 2.0 TDI 81 kW engine. This four-cylinder engine operates quietly and efficiently with common rail direct fuel injection.

It makes its mark at the pumps with an average fuel consumption figure of just 5,7 litres of diesel per 100 kilometers. Top speed is 170 km/ h.

The 81 kW TDI also impresses

PHOTO: QUICKPIC

with a maximum torque of 250 Nm, which can be reached at 1,750 rpm.

The 81 kW engine is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.

In addition to standard Caddy model range colours, Cross Caddy can be ordered in special colours, Honey Orange and Viper Green.

Retail Price (VAT and emissions tax included) Cross Caddy 2.0 TDI 81 kW R340 600 Cross Caddy comes standard with 3 year/120 000 kilometre manufacturer and 12 year anti-corrosion warranties.

Service intervals are at 15 000 km.

Service and maintenance plans are optional.

Volvo reveals new V60 Cross Country

SOLD AUTO BOLAND

QUICKPIC Volvo Cars unveiled its much-anticipated Cross Country version of the beautiful Volvo V60 sportswagon at the 2014 LA Motor Show this month.

“We are delighted to add the third true Cross Country model to our product portfolio. The successful combination of dynamic styling and rugged capability places the Volvo V60 Cross Country in a class of its own,” said Lex Kerssemakers, senior vice-president product strategy and vehicle line management at Volvo Cars.

Volvo’s Cross Country brand has a long and distinguished heritage.

Volvo Cars was the first premium brand to offer increased all-road capability and styling on its wagons as far back as 1997, when it introduced the Volvo V70 Cross Country, creating a whole new type of car experience that has since captured the imagination of the motoring public.

Continuing this proud heritage, and reflecting Volvo’s Scandinavian elegance, love of nature and adventure, the new Volvo V60 Cross Country brings together the best of both worlds – a sporty, connected yet comfortable driving experience with the freedom to explore new horizons.

“With ground clearance increased by 65 mm compared to the standard Volvo V60, the Cross Country’s sturdy construction offers unparalleled control on and off the beaten track, coupled with a sporty drive thanks to torque vectoring technology and corner traction con-

The Volvo V60 Cross Country really is the ideal getaway car – enabling an adventurous lifestyle in pure rugged form trol. The Volvo V60 Cross Country is the ideal getaway car – enabling an adventurous lifestyle in pure rugged form,” said Kerssemakers.

Available with new Cross Country 18” and 19” wheels, the Volvo V60 Cross Country comes with high profile tyres, adding comfort and offroad aesthetics, reducing road noise and providing added wheel protection, whether climbing those pesky kerbs or negotiating rocky roads.

Central to Volvo’s Cross Country

concept is the expression of go-anywhere capability and rugged design. It caters to those who have an active lifestyle, favour dirt roads over paved, and want a car that handles either with ease. This is manifested in the Volvo V60 Cross Country through explicit design cues that heighten the adventurous nature of the car. With increased ground clearance, skid plates front and rear, side scuff plates and fender extenders, the Volvo V60 Cross Coun-

try conveys an imposing, muscular presence that underlies its capable nature, while integrated tailpipes reflect its sporty dark side. To complement the capable exterior styling, sports seats in black leather with distinctive brown stitching, as well as two new two-tone leather upholsteries, will be offered.

The US and Canada will get the first Volvo V60 Cross Countrys, and they will launch with Volvo’s iconic five cylinder 242 kW T6 petrol en-

Audi A8 V8T: the understated confidence HANJO STIER Sometimes I wonder if car reviews are actually read and appreciated by the subject’s prospective buyer. Whereas I’m sure that small hatchback and family sedan shoppers do a substantial amount of homework before hitting the showrooms, do the punters of an Audi A8 long wheelbase do the same?

Surely the boutique hotels, chauffeur companies and human resource directors of this world don’t scour the internet or print media for airbag counts and kilowatt figures of such cars. In all probability, almost none of them compare 0-100 times or cup holder size of an A8, S-Class, Seven Series, XJ Jag, Range Rover or Bentley.

In my humble opinion – and it is just that – they don’t aspire to this longer A8 by dreaming of it at night and saving up for a decent deposit.

The biggest Audi limousine ends up on their driveway because they have a good relationship with the brand (or dealer) and it attracts them on more emotional, unquantifiable levels.

Looking at the hefty white specimen outside my house right now, I can determine a few already. Yes, the extra length (13cm) of this A8 makes it one of the biggest barges in the office car park but Audi have done a phenomenal job of masking its bulk with clean lines and understated details.

Think of the A8 long wheelbase as a beautiful, voluptuous lady in an elegant dress. She’s a big girl alright

Refreshed in April this year Audi’s flagship range boasts with all­aluminium bodies, improved insulation and bet­ ter technology to further increase efficiency and refinement.

PHOTO: QUICKPIC but timeless fashion and tasteful make-up allow her to waft around an embassy ball with confidence.

Other women may have cleavage or turquoise eye shadow but the ladyship A8 has style on her side.

Another reason to consider this particular car is its unbelievably brawny engine. If you really want figures, this V8T model has a 4,2 litre twin-turbo Diesel V8 with 285 kW or a colossal 850 Nm. That last amount would be more at home in a truck brochure and thus makes for completely effortless performance.

Delivered to all four 20-inch wheels via Quattro all-wheel-drive,

I even beat Audi’s acceleration claim by sailing past 100 km/h in just 4,5 seconds; and supreme comfort. None of the other Germans bring their turbo-diesel V8 sedans to our shores so this V8T’s only real adversaries are the Touareg and Range Rover.

Refreshed in April this year, Audi’s flagship range boasts with all-aluminium bodies, improved insulation and better technology to further increase efficiency and refinement. The 8-speed automatic gearbox can get harsh when going from no to full throttle, but other than that, it doesn’t put a cog wrong.

Combined with the engine’s immense twisting power, the V8T usually cruises at or below 1 500 rpm.

Its air suspension does a sterling job of isolating passengers from rough road conditions except for the sportier settings of the car’s drive mode selection. This also puts the engine and gearbox on heat.

Steering feedback is slightly numb (as it should be in a big luxury car) yet very quick, the A8L turning in with verve and not requiring much effort to snake around a mountain or valet parking area.

However, I sense that you may be more interested in what life’s like

in the back of this R1 545 500 liner.

For starters, the rear doors are just as large as the front ones, so embarking astern doesn’t feel like a second class affair. Even when I had adjusted what felt like a hundred settings of the driver’s seat to suit my six foot plus frame, there was still a surplus of legroom available to any VIP behind me.

Over and above the cosseting ride and opulent space of this vehicle, rear passengers enjoyed individual climate control, privacy window screens and entertainment. I would highly recommend the decadent Bang and Olufsen Advanced Sound System for R85 000 which, in my mind, has no equal in the market.

Despite a raft of standard features, you can still make merry with the expensive options list to individualise your A8L. Our test car featured night vision and clever LED headlights, yet the standard A8 features are just as appealing; like the angled main instruments which flank a high resolution display.

The MMI infotainment system screen rises out of the central dashboard which, in this car, was decorated with a stunning, matt, deeplygrained and dark-brown wood veneer. Other textures, materials and lighting also mesmerised me – as did the soft-closing doors.

I could go on about the A8L’s selfparking trick, those swooping LED indicators, the atomic seat heaters or the fact that I once achieved 7,8F/100 km with careful driving but what you really need to know is that driving this understated and highly accomplished car is almost as exquisite as being a passenger.

All-wheel-drive Jaguar F-Type R boosts record bid QUICKPIC The new all-wheel-drive Jaguar F-TYPE R Coupé ensured the Bloodhound SSC World Land Speed Record programme passed a significant high-speed testing milestone.

The test marks the start of a major technical partnership between Jaguar and The Bloodhound Project, with the ultimate aim of raising the world land speed record above 1 610 km/h and to assist in inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers, which is the overall objective of the project. The current record stands at 1 228 km/h and was set by Andy Green in Thrust SSC in 1997. Andy will drive the Bloodhound Supersonic car.

On the relatively soft surface of

the Hakskeen Pan desert in the Northern Cape, the stability of the AWD F-TYPE R Coupé and its dynamic ability – it has a limited top speed of 300 km/h – enabled the successful completion of a vital communications test for the Bloodhound SSC team.

Ian Hoban, vehicle line director, Jaguar said:“Our target with engineering the all-wheel drive F-TYPE was to maintain the engaging reardrive character that’s so important to Jaguar sports cars, yet offer even greater dynamic capability. The result is a controllable, exploitable and blisteringly fast performance car in all weather and road conditions.”

The AWD F-TYPE R Coupé was driven flat-out by Bloodhound project director and former World Land Speed Record holder, Richard

Noble, who said: “We are absolutely delighted to announce Jaguar as a main partner to the Bloodhound Project. This is a very fine match – Jaguar is very strong on innovation

and with its huge drive in advanced technology, education and motorsport track record, we have the perfect partner. Together we have developed outstanding inter-team

synergy and this is a very special relationship.”

Fitted with the same radio equipment as the jet and rocket powered Bloodhound SSC, the F-TYPE was driven head-to-head at top speed with a similarly equipped jet flown at 805 km/h just metres above the ground. The combined closing speed of almost 1 126 km/h enabled the successful test of the system that will allow communications between the ground crew and Andy Green in Bloodhound SSC, which will run for the first time on the Hakskeen desert just twelve months from now.

The addition of all-wheel-drive is one of a number of performance enhancements to the award-winning Jaguar F-TYPE range, which will grow from six to 14 derivatives in 2015.

QUICKPIC Suzuki Auto Suid-Afrika het die ikoniese Jimny-veldryvoertuig opgeknap. Die jongste weergawe bied ’n rits verbeteringe binne en buite, terwyl die toerustingvlak terselfdertyd opgegradeer is. Boonop is ’n outomatiese ratkas nou vir die eerste keer as alternatief vir die handratkas beskikbaar.

Die mees ooglopende verandering is die allooiwiele van 15 duim, wat met ’n nuwe donkersilwer afwerking spog. Die palet van beskikbare kleure is ook aangepas, en bied twee nuwe kleure: Bison-bruin, en Khaki Pearl-metaalverf.

Die binneruim is ook opgeknap, met veral die splinternuwe instrumentestel wat aandag trek. Twee groot, ronde wyserinstrumente vir snelheid en toeretal is aan weerskante van ’n derde meerdoelinstrument geplaas, wat ’n magdom digitale inligting weergee. Daaronder tel grafieke vir brandstofvlak en enjintemperatuur,’n syferhorlosie, laestrekstatus en ’n ritmeter.

Die Jimny se sitplekke spog met nuwe doekstofoortreksels wat groter duursaamheid en gerief bied. ’n Nuut ontwerpte stuurwiel is ook deel van die opknappakket.

Die opsie van ’n outomatiese viergangratkas behoort veral byval te vind by eienaars wat die gerief van koppelaarvrye motorry verkies, veral in stadsverkeer, terwyl die ratkas dit nóg makliker maak om die Jimny se legendariese 4x4-vermoë te ervaar.

Nes die handratmodel word die outomatiese weergawe met ’n laestrek-ratkas toegerus, wat sorg dat die Jimny selfs in die rofste en moeilikste toestande so te sê onstuitbaar bly.

Die jongste Jimny word steeds aangedryf deur ’n lewendige en ekonomiese viersilinder-petrolenjin van 1 328 cc. Maksimumkraglewering beloop 63 kW by 6 000 r/min, met ’n gepaardgaande wringkragpiek van 110 Nm by 4 100 r/min.

Die volledig toegeruste binneruim sluit onder meer sentrale sluiting, ’n klankstelsel met CD-speler en instemmer, elektries-beheerde ruite en lugversorging in. Wat veiligheid betref, bied die Jimny dubbele lugsakke voor, nekstutte, rukstop-sitplekgordels, en ABS-sluitweerremme. Albei Jimny-weergawes word deur ’n waarborg van drie jaar/ 100 000 km gedek, en ’n diensplan van vier jaar/60 000 km.

Honda launches its new CBR300 R QUICKPIC A true sporting lightweight offers much of the excitement of a bigger machine and more with access to every last scrap of performance for maximum enjoyment.

For the less experienced rider, it offers a great platform from which to hone riding skills and is much more affordable in every respect.

Launched in 2011, the CBR250R has provided the perfect entry point into Honda’s CBR range. Its compact size, single-cylinder engine, and CBR family look, underscored by typically strong Honda build quality, have earned it a key position in Honda’s Super Sport line-up.

For 2014 though, Honda’s engineers returned to the drawing board, giving us the all new Honda CBR300R. The CBR300R was conceived with two major objectives, to provide the rider access to more power and torque as well as a much stronger CBR identity. Visual echoes of its larger capacity siblings give the CBR300R a more direct taste of the CBR brand.

Firstly, the liquid-cooled engine is now 286 cc, which is achieved through a longer stroke. Increased capacity is only one part of the equation and the CBR300R has received a series of upgrades to take full advantage of this increased power and torque. Work centred on the engine’s throttle response and power delivery, while a new CBR500Rstyle exhaust provides both an aesthetic and functional upgrade.

The CBR300R was conceived with two major objectives, to provide the rid­ er access to more power and torque as well as a much stronger CBR identity.

PHOTO: QUICKPIC The CBR1000RR served as the design inspiration for the CBR300R’s new look. Dual headlights closely mimic the bigger bike and aggressive styling for the fairing, fuel tank and seat are unmistakably CBR. Attention to detail remained important and the undercowl was also colour-matched to add a premium feel.

Compared to larger capacity twincylinder machines, the CBR300R is a more compact, lighter and more manageable package for both new and experienced riders, with significantly lower purchase and running costs complementing its flexible

and accessible performance.

The CBR300R’s DOHC 4-valve engine retains its 76 mm bore, but stroke is increased 8 mm to 63 mm to create the larger 286 cc capacity.

Compression ratio remains 10.7:1 and peak power of 22,7 kW arrives at 8,500 rpm with peak torque of 27 Nm at 7 250 rpm. This is a significant increase over the CBR250R’s output readings of 19,4 kW at 8 500 rpm and 23,8 Nm at 7 000 rpm.

Countering extra vibration resulting from the longer stroke, the balancer shaft is heavier and the engine’s frame mounts are stronger.

The PGM-FI fuel injection with its 38 mm throttle bore has been remapped to focus on crisp throttle response through the rev range. A new CBR500R-inspired muffler design with larger internal volume adds big bike style and a pleasing exhaust note.

The CBR300R’s single-cylinder powerplant offers many benefits for any rider because the number of moving parts is kept to an absolute minimum. The engine is more fuel efficient, and small details like the low-friction piston rings and iridium spark plug help reduce running costs.

Acceleration is greatly improved thanks to the larger capacity, and the six-speed gearbox’s final drive ratio has been lengthened for more efficient highway speed cruising.

Returning 30,2 km/l (WMTC mode*), it can cover over 390 km on one fill-up of the 13-litre fuel tank.

The mechanical simplicity of the engine also reduces servicing costs, which is another essential element in creating a problem-free ownership experience. The compact size also helps create a bike that is lighter and more manageable than a multi-cylinder, and allows it be positioned perfectly within the chassis for ideal front/rear weight distribution.

The CBR250R’s design inspiration combined styling from the CBR range with echoes of the Sport Touring VFR1200F. For the 2014 CBR300R, styling cues are taken directly from the Super Sport rangetopping CBR1000RR with an angular silhouette and aggressive full fairing, colour-matched undercowl,

dual headlights and steeply raked rear seat unit.

The riding position has been subtly altered – while seat height remains 785 mm, ground reach has been improved with a narrower, reshaped seat. For a sleeker look both mirrors sit on shorter arms.

A steel diamond twin-spar frame provides the backbone of the CBR300R’s chassis and features a rigidity balance carefully tuned to provide both a sporty dynamic in corners and stability at speed. Rake is set at 25°05 with trail of 98 mm and wheelbase of 1 380 mm; kerb weight is a class-leading 164 kg.

The 37 mm telescopic forks and Pro-Link rear monoshock provide well-damped, reactive suspension that transmits plenty of feel to the rider. Cast aluminium wheels with rim sizes front 17 x 2,75in and rear 17 x 4in, wear 110/70-17 and 140/70-17 tyres respectively to provide a good combination of grip and agility.

Stopping power for the 2014 is provided by, 296 mm disc/two piston caliper on the front and 220mm disc/ single-piston caliper on the rear, The CBR300R will be available in the following colour options: •Ross White Tricolore •Millenium Red •Black The Honda CBR300R is sold Standard with: • Complimentary rider training course through the Honda Academy •12 Months free roadside assistance •24 Month unlimited KM warranty Dealer recommended sales price, including VAT: R56 990
