HELDERBERG: SALES ASSOCIATES EXCEL

Re/MAX poised for success R

2013.

E/MAX Helderberg’s 21 sales associates excelled in 2012, and are poised for another outstanding year in

No fewer than 11 sales associates achieved RE/MAX International Awards for their 2012 sales figures! Among these are: ) Pieter Kotzé, team leader of Team Pieter Kotzé, who achieved the RE/MAX International Hall of Fame Award as well as the highly acclaimed Chairman’s Club Award. Kotzé is among the top 5% of sales associates within the RE/MAX Group nationally. ) Salo Saayman and Elmaré Doran both won Platinum Club Awards. Salo Saayman has reached the top 10% of RE/MAX sales associates within the RE/MAX Group nationally. ) Gold Club Award winners were Stella Marias, Adriaan van Hoogstraten and Linda van Nes. ) 100% Club Award winners were Wendy Giardino, Di Havard and Adri McFarlane. ) Silver Club Award winners were Fanie Beukes and Maarten Laubscher. ) In 2012, agricultural specialist, Fanie Beukes, achieved the highest single sale ever achieved by RE/MAX Helderberg. RE/MAX of Southern Africa announced in November 2012 that RE/MAX Helderberg’s sales for the third quarter 2012 were the highest achieved by a single office in the Western Cape within the RE/MAX Group. In 2012, RE/MAX Helderberg grew by 30%. Five new experienced sales associates were added to the team. They include Jeanne de Waal and Karen Baschiera (returning to RE/ MAX Helderberg), well-known local estate agent, Penny Steyn, and re-locating to this area – Wendy Brittle from Durbanville, and Margaret Kidwell from the Free State. In January 2013 RE/MAX Helderberg welcomed local estate agent, Emily Webster, who joins Team Di Havard. Local development specialist, John Warmenhoven, joins the team on

1 February. Anneli Louw rejoined the RE/MAX Helderberg administration team after a five-year stint working as an air stewardess with UAE, based in Dubai. Broker/owner, Lee Siebert expects the RE/ MAX Helderberg team to reach greater heights in 2013. According to Siebert, one of the key elements of the RE/MAX formula for success is community involvement, and improving the lives of others. For example, RE/ MAX SA has contributed over R11 million to the Reach for a Dream Foundation, fulfilling the dreams of children suffering from terminal illnesses. “To thank our clients for their support throughout 2012, we are sponsoring a family fun day, the RE/MAX Big Day Out, in association with events company Niva, to be held on 2 March at Southey’s Vines in Somerset West Main Road,” says Siebert. “Entertainment for all ages will include live music, a craft market, food and snack market, beer garden, and plenty of fun activities for children including comedians, clowns, face-painting, magicians, jumping castles, a water slide and much more. Gates open at 09:00 on Saturday 2 March and will close around 18:30.” Lee Siebert would like to extend her sincere thanks to the community for generous donations of books and toys delivered to RE/MAX Helderberg’s shop in Waterstone Village in January 2012. “The support of our clients, sales associates and administrative staff in the national RE/ MAX celebration of 40 years of giving – our anniversary on the 30th January 2013 – was overwhelming! Books, toys and other contributions collected by RE/MAX were delivered to local charities and institutions in our region.” For more information contact Lee Siebert, RE/MAX Helderberg, Shop 33, Waterstone Village, Somerset West.

New bug is a win for Volkswagen HANJO STIER

he Volkswagen Beetle is undoubtedly one of the world’s most successful vehicles, racking up millions of sales in its original, basic shape. But much like its fellow sales record holders, on top of being rather common, the Beetle always left me completely cold and disinterested. The “New Beetle” appeared in 1997 but was simply too round and cute to be taken seriously. Hardened Beetle enthusiasts shot it down as a miserable fake because it was based on a Golf 4 and abandoned all the original’s trademarks: air cooled, rear-engined, rear-wheel-drive and above all, affordability. Despite all this, the new iteration appealed to enough people worldwide to rack up just over a million sales. Yet again, I wasn’t one of them. So you’ll excuse my scepticism when my first test car for 2013 turned out to be a Beetle. A short stint in a higher-spec model at the end of last year already left me impressed but after a few days with this powder blue baby bug, I’m turning into a bit of a fan. What’s even more puzzling is that you’re now looking at the entrylevel, bog-standard version with a 1.2-litre (yes, one point two) engine. It didn’t stop there. Friends and family who described the previous Beetles with words like “meh” or “eww” were floating anywhere between excited curiosity and gushing admiration. Volkswagen can rest assured that their new 21st Century Beetle is a resounding success – I didn’t hear a single criticism in seven days. Part of our car’s appeal was surely its sky blue paint and matching interior with colour-coded dashboard, door panels and seats. However, looking at the new car’s shape reveals inspiration from both predecessors; minus excessively cute roundness plus a few dollops of muscle. The brochure even says “it’s a boy!” Der neue Käfer is far from intimidating or nasty but a lick of dark paint should benefit the car’s flatter shape and better stance while making the few chrome highlights and snazzy lights pop a bit more. As this is a niche market and lifestyle car I would even go for a freaky colour, nothing less daring than red. This would mean that, at least in “Design” trim, you would also have a freakishly colourful interior. Our specimen had matching powder

blue paint across its entire dashboard, now featuring the old Beetle cubby hole with not a vase in sight. The panel continues on top of both doors and into the rear of the vehicle. All leather seats (R8 600 option on this model) also received a splash of blue, as did parts of the steering wheel. This car also featured hdd/navigation (R18 000), parking sensors and tyre deflation warning (R4 800), bluetooth (R2 000), xenon headlights (R8 200) and a detailed on-board computer with water and oil temperature, among others. As detailed and intuitive as the navigation was, I would rather pocket the cash or spend it on a bigger sound system (R8 000), a sunroof (R8 800) or 18-inch wheels (just R3 500). From what I can tell, it would also be wise to invest in a service or maintenance plan. That and bluetooth should be free, VW. Sies on you! As for those optional fat wheels, you may want to shy away from them if you enjoy a smooth, comfortable ride. This 1.2-litre model rides on tyres with bigger sidewalls which help the Golf 7 platform to provide wonderful ride comfort and a modicum of handling fun before over-steer sets in. At this point you’re probably expecting me to tell you that the 1,197cc engine is weak, unresponsive and boring. Please believe me when I type that the direct opposite is true – this diamond of a motor is very gutsy and, being mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, a hoot to drive. Major speed freaks could be disappointed as 0-100 km/h takes 11 seconds and top speed is 180km/h, yet the tiny engine’s mid-range punch is phenomenal. It runs out of ideas below 1500rpm or above 5000rpm but will eagerly surge forward in any gear thanks to maximum outputs of 77kW (105hp) or 175Nm. Fuel consumption is supposed to be just 5.9L/100km but we averaged around 7.5L/100km from the 55L tank. Other noteworthy dimensions are the 310L boot which extends to 905L with the rear 60/40 split seats folded down. Rear passenger room is a little tight though.This Beetle also has excellent safety equipment and the obligatory comfort features at a price of just R235 400. Thanks to that lively little engine, I advocate the 1.2 TSi as the best Beetle model out there. For the same price you could get an entry-level Golf or a big Polo. I know which one I’d take…

Altitude has a lot of attitude C

hrysler South Africa’s Jeep brand announced the launch of the limited-edition Altitude version of the popular Jeep Compass model for 2013. The Altitude name stems from a competition that was run following the launch of the Jeep Grand Cherokee concept vehicle at the Houston Motor Show early in 2012. With more than 100,000 entries from enthusiasts of the Jeep brand – which boasts more than 2 million Facebook fans – Altitude emerged as the winning vehicle name. The new limited-edition Compass Alti-

tude continues the “from-the-factory” customized look first seen in the Grand Cherokee concept shown in last January. A distinctive black gloss finish surrounds Compass’ trademark seven-slot Jeep grille and headlamps, and the treatment continues with black roof rails and a black step pad. The Compass Altitude rides on exclusive 18-inch black gloss aluminium wheels. The Jeep Compass Altitude model features power heated exterior mirrors and heated seats, continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), a leatherwrapped steering wheel with audio con-

trols, and includes numerous safety and security features, such as electronic stability control, electronic roll mitigation, hillstart assist (with manual transmission), and side-curtain air bags that cover all rows. Available immediately to order in bright silver, black, tungsten metallic and bright white, the Jeep Compass Altitude will retail for R295 490 for the 5-speed manual transmission and R302 490 for the CVT (VAT included). Only 199 Altitude units will be available for sale locally making this a rare product offering.
