ERAHelderberg

turns two

The team at ERA Helderberg is

delighted to celebrate two years

of sales and rentals in the beauti-

ful Helderberg basin.

It has truly been an honour to be

part of the lives of our buyers and

sellers during their transition peri-

od, says Ricci Marais, franchisee/

principal of ERA Helderberg.

The property business is certain-

ly improvingandERAhas seena re-

markable difference over the last

few months. Sales are up and the

ERAGroup,withmore than4 000of-

ficesworldwide, continues toreport

fantastic results which paint an en-

couraging picture for anyone look-

ing to sell in the next few months.

Our experienced partners, to-

gether with our international offic-

es worldwide give us a level of pro-

fessionalismwhichenablesus tode-

liver a service that we are proud of.

WealsowelcomeNedbankasour

business partner, says Ricci. As

we know so very well, speedy and

successful bond applications re-

main key to our success as estate

agents. For this reason, we are

proud to announce that Nedbank

has decided to join forces with ERA

to grow their home-loan market

share, still themost significant core

business of any bank.

We now have the opportunity to

get bond approval within a couple

of hours after a sales agreement has

been signed. We look forward with

excitement to a hugely significant,

mutually successful relationship.

Ricci says they are an experienced

team of agents with tons of enthusi-

asm.

Whether you want to down-

scale, buy for the very first time or

simplywish to start your own prop-

erty portfolio, we will be there for

you, every step of the way.

process of buying, selling and rent-

ing are priceless and we would like

last two years, concludes Ricci.

AndrewHodge now

qualified property valuer

Andrew Hodge, director of

N Hodge & Company, recently

obtained his diploma as a quali-

fied property valuer.

In order to qualify as a profes-

sional valuer, one needs to com-

plete a full-time, three-year Na-

tional Diploma in Real Estate

(Valuations). As Andrew is cur-

rently running his own property

business, he had no choice but to

do it part-time (evening classes).

Once you have obtained your

national diploma, you need to do

your articles under the super-

vision of a professional valuer,

and complete a minimum of 250

valuations before you are able to

write theboardexam.Oftheorig-

inal 35whostartedwithAndrew,

only seven wrote the exam.

Hodge & Company, estab-

lished in 1947, is the oldest estab-

lished estate agency in the Hel-

derberg basin. Apart from sales

and rentals of residential and

commercial properties, they

have over the past ten years spe-

cialized in property valuations.

Peter Hodge (Andrews father)

has been an appraiser for more

than forty years and served on

the Helderberg Municipal Coun-

cil as a property valuer.

When it comes tovaluingones

property, there has been a mis-

conception amongst the general

public that estate agents auto-

matically qualify as valuers.

This, of course, is not the case

andanestateagent canonlyoffer

his or her opinion on themarket

value of a property and not a for-

mal valuationwithout the neces-

sary qualification/degree. It is

common practice to opt for a free

valuation offered by estate

agents where potential clients

are lured into signing sole agen-

cies by over pricing. There is no

harminpitching thepricea lit-

tle higher than the valuation

amount, as this gives one a basis

of negotiation. It is a well known

fact that correctly priced proper-

ties sell considerably quicker

and all in all, the best price is

achieved.

Professional valuers are quali-

fied to undertake an in-depth

studyofvaluewherecomparable

properties are taken into ac-

count, but also the replacement

costs, market trends, locality,

etc; in fact, all matters which af-

fect the value of ones property.

The importance of correctly

valuingcannotbeunderestimat-

ed, especially in disputes such as

divorce settlements, the deter-

mining of rentals,municipal val-

uations, expropriations and de-

ceased estates.

tional Diploma in Real Estate.

Doubledigit growth in first half of2013

The Engel & Vlkers group is

continuing on its course of

record growth already em-

barked upon in the firstmonths

of the year.

Following the strongest first

quarter in the companys history,

revenue growth in the second

quarter of 2013 is at a double-digit

percentage rate. In total, turnover

fromcommission generated by the

group with its licence partners op-

erating in 37 countries on five con-

tinents rose by 18,8% to 123,9 mil-

lion euros (period in the previous

year: 104,3 million euros). Turn-

over is increasing particularly

strongly in foreignmarkets where

the group commission revenues

have risen by a total of 30% to 46,5

million euros (previous year 35,8

million euros). Group commission

revenues from the brokerage of

commercial real estate also rose

significantly by 27,4% to 28,3 mil-

lion euros (previous year 22,3 mil-

lion euros).With growth of 6,1% to

49,0 million euros (previous year

46,2 million euros), brokerage op-

erations in residential property in

Germany also achieved a new

record result once again.

Internationally, Engel & Vlk-

ers experienced especially strong

growthon theAmerican continent

andinSouthernEurope.Aclearre-

covery of the property market and

the ongoing expansion of the com-

panys network with the opening

of new residential property shops

in the USA led by the licence part-

ners in Florida to a growth in com-

mission revenues of 50%, and of al-

most 90% in California. The rate

of growth inSouthAmericawasal-

most 70%. The intensive efforts to

expand our network outside of Eu-

ropearehavingapositive impact,

saidChristianVlkers, CEOofEn-

gel & Vlkers AG. We are seeing

substantial opportunities for

growth abroad, on the basis of the

strengthening economic situation

on the real estate market. The

broadly-based formation of our

network puts us in a good position

to make extensive use of these op-

portunities.

Residential property shops in

southern European countries also

profited froma further recovery of

the property markets. In addition,

the newMetropolitanMarket Cen-

tre in Barcelona recorded a very

successful start, resulting in over-

all revenue growth of 65% in the

first half-year of 2013 in Spain

mainland. Revenues on Majorca

also saw a considerable growth

rate of 29%.The strongdemand for

capital investments continues to

have a positive effect on the busi-

ness division for commercial es-

tate, although this potential can-

not be fully utilised due to a lack

of sufficient offerings on the mar-

ket.

In South Africa we have had

similar successwithan increaseof

31% when compared to the same

period in the previous financial

year says Craig Hutchison, CEO

of Engel & Vlkers Southern Afri-

ca.Hefurtheraddedthattheactivi-

tiesarestill atahigh,eventhrough

the winter months, and expects it

to increase even further in the lat-

ter half of the year when the coun-

try will experience a further in-

crease in activities for the coming

summer months. This will be as-

sisted by the launch of the newEn-

gel & Vlkers website and social

media campaigns which will raise

search engine optimisations and

in turn increase the number of

searching buyers through the En-

gel & Vlkers network.

Danny Pringle, CEO Engel &

VlkersWinelands also confirmed

that the local office inPaarl is busy

with an aggressive expansion pro-

gramme. As part of our strategy

to offer comprehensive property

services to the local market, we

opened our new rental division on

1 July. We also employed several

new staff members recently and

will expand our network of profes-

sional agents over the next few

months, says Pringle. He added

thatEngel&Vlkers hasnowbeen

active in the Paarl region formore

than 2 years and that the compa-

nymanaged to secure abetter than

expectedmarket share during this

time and expects to increase that

position by the end of this year.

Engel & Vlkers global is fore-

casting further stronggrowthover

the remainder of the year, mean-

ing that the company expects to

close 2013 once again with record

financial results.

Do I invest in property or shares?

Experts will debate the property versus

sharesinvestmentandpullstatisticstoprove

their point.

The reality is that all investment comes

withrisk.There isnodoubt thatmanyshares

have performed exceptionally well over the

past few decades Allan Gray for example.

But we could also list a number of shares

that have performed poorly, and some that,

hadyouinvested in themyouwouldhave lost

the majority of your investment. None of us

have a crystal ball that will guide us and,

while experts will have a good indication

which shares are low-risk, there is no such

thing as no-risk.

The rule has always been the higher the

return, the greater the risk. Financial advi-

sors will go to great lengths to explain this

to you and in many cases obtain your signa-

ture on documents relieving them from any

responsibility should your high risk in-

vestment fail.

Thats why I like property. There is no

doubt that,over time, itdoesgivetheinvestor

a return. They key to any investment is tim-

ing. I have seenmany an investor purchase

wisely andobtain a significant returnwithin

a few years. Kelderhof Country Village is a

prime example where, even in a subdued

market, in the past two years we have seen

a 20+% escalation in property values. Add

your 4% rental return (its actually over 5%

at Kelderhof), and that equates to a return

of over 30% in 2 years. Not bad, Id say.

But property investment is noway tomake

a quick buck. I have seen property investors

lose aswell depending on the timing. Think

of thosewho purchased in 2006 andwho tried

torecover their investment in2009.However,

in most cases their properties have now re-

covered invalue,andtheyonlyrealizeda loss

if they were forced to sell.

But there are a few very significant differ-

ences to property investments vs. investing

on the stock market:

) You can borrow capital from a bank for

property investment. You cannot do this if

youwanttopurchaseshares. Itscalledgear-

ing and it makes a big difference to your

return.

) Shares give you very little monthly re-

turn.Youmaybe fortunate enough to receive

an annual dividend, but its a small return.

A rental property, even in theWestern Cape,

now yields at least 5% net in most cases, and

in some cases even 7% or more.

)Shares can suffer significant losses over-

night, often based on sentiment. Property, if

it is on downward trend, has a much slower

rate of decline, even as we saw between 2008

and 2010. The slower rates mean you have

more time to dispose of your property should

you need to, before suffering huge losses.

Contrast that to share investors who lost 40

50% in a fewweekswhen the stockmarkets

crashed.

The bottom line is that its a wise invest-

ment to own your own property. Its forced

saving (something that most South Africans

unfortunately dont do that well), and you

will obtain a return on your investment over

time.

Stylishanddynamic: FordEcoSport now inSA

QUICKPIC

The Ford EcoSport goes on sale

in South Africa this August,

bringing a stylish and dynamic

small SUV to a newgeneration of

customers.

The urban sport utility vehicle

combines the agility, affordability

and fuel efficiency of a compact car

with the versatility and spacious-

ness of an SUV.

The smallest engine in its class,

Fords 1.0lEcoBoost engine isbigon

power, torque and refinement. Pro-

ducing 92 kW of power with a peak

torque of 170 Nm, the quiet and

smooth-running engine delivers

power and performance that rivals

traditional 1.6 F petrol engines. The

1.0l EcoBoost engine has won the

coveted title of International En-

gineof theYearforthelast twoyears

running,

With 25 percent fewer moving

parts, the three-cylinder EcoBoost

is able to deliver superior fuel econ-

omyand loweremissions.Onacom-

bined cycle run the innovative pow-

erplant ensures minimal consump-

tion of just 5.7F/100 km.

Fords EcoBoost technology,

which holds more than 125 patents,

combines direct fuel injection, tur-

bo-charging and variable valve tim-

ing to enable a downsized engine to

gainfueleconomybyupto20 %over

larger engines with no loss of per-

formance.

It requires a shift in mind-sets,

explains Golightly. Traditionally

we have equated performance with

larger capacity engines, but ad-

vancements in technology now

meansmallerdisplacementengines

are able to outperform their larger

counterparts.

The EcoSport will also be availa-

ble with the global 1.5F four-cylin-

der petrol engine, which delivers

peak power of 82 kW at 6 300 rpm

and peak torque of 138 Nm at 4 400

rpm. It uses an average of

6.5 F/100 km on a combined cycle.

For customers who prefer diesel,

the 1.5 F TDCi intercooled and tur-

bocharged diesel engine fits the bill

perfectly.Withpowerratedat66 kW

at3 750rpm, theenginealsodelivers

an outstanding 205 Nm of torque

from 2 000 rpm to 2 750 rpm. The re-

sult is strong acceleration from

standstill togetherwiththeflexibili-

ty that can reduce the need for gear-

shifts.

Fuel efficiency is a stand out fea-

turewith a combined cycle figure of

just 4.6 F/100 km ensuring the

EcoSport is kind on the pocket.

To further improve fuel efficien-

cy, the five-speedmanual transmis-

sion is standard on all models bar

the1.5 FPetrolTitanium,whichuti-

lises the six-speed Ford PowerShift

transmission.

The advanced six-speed Power-

Shift transmission combines the ef-

ficiency, optimised gear ratios and

responsive performance of a tradi-

tional manual transmission with

the smoothness, convenience and

ease-of-use of a conventional auto-

matic.Low-frictiondryclutchesare

employed, combined with six well-

spaced gears to provide responsive

acceleration fromrest, smooth tran-

sitions between gears and opti-

mised fuel economywhen cruising.

The EcoSport has been designed

to provide high levels of protection

and driver support through a range

of advanced features. About half of

the urban SUVs body structure is

made up of high-strength steel and

ultra-high-strength steel, such as

boron steel, making the EcoSports

frame especially strong yet light-

weight too.

The SUVs array of airbags, in-

cluding airbags for the driver and

front passenger, as well as side air-

bags and curtain airbags, provides

additional peace of mind.

To take the stress out of driving,

the EcoSport comes with an array

of driver-assist systems.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS) is

available on all models and helps

prevent the wheels from locking up

andhelps thevehicle to stopquickly

on slippery road surfaces. Other ad-

vanced safety technologies such as

electronic stability control, which

is available on some high-series

models, also helps customers re-

main in control at all times, espe-

cially on slippery roads.When it de-

tects that the car is potentially los-

ing control, it automatically

reduces enginepowerandselective-

lybrakes individualwheels to stabi-

lise the vehicle and keep it travel-

ling on track.

The EcoSport offers a well-

rounded and comprehensive line-

up as well as a host of fantastic fea-

tures, which place it well ahead of

its competitive set. Coupled with a

very competitive price point, Ford

has a winner in this segment, con-

cludes Golightly.

The EcoSport is available with a

fully comprehensive 4 year/120

000 km warranty and a 4

year/60 000 km service plan. Serv-

ice intervals are staggered at

20 000 kmintervals for thepetrol de-

rivatives and 15 000 km for the die-

sel derivatives. Customers will also

benefit from 3 years of Roadside As-

sistance anda 5-year corrosionwar-

ranty.

To further improve fuel efficiency, the fivespeed manual transmission is standard on all models bar the 1.5l Pe

trol Titanium, which utilises the sixspeed Ford PowerShift transmission. PHOTO: QUICKPIC

Sasolracing circuit teambouncesback

QUICKPIC

Hennie Groenewald repaid his

teams hardworkwith a superb

front row qualifying slot and a

dominantrace2win in thedays

second heat of the Bridgestone

Production Car Championship

at Phakisa Raceway in the Free

State.

The Sasolracing Subaru driver

was competitive all weekend and

was well set for an overall win

when a fractured oil pipe knuckle

brought his racing to an end while

challenging for the lead of the fea-

ture race late in the day.

Practice and Qualifying:

The SP Racing outfit spent Fri-

days free practice sessions fine-

tuning theSubaruWRXSTI for the

fast and flowing track where Hen-

nie set the second fastest time on

old tyres. We never ran new tyres

and never topped the time sheets,

Hennieexplained.Thebuildqual-

ityof theenginegaveusgreatrelia-

bility and the new chassis set-up

made the car far more compliant

with superb balance.

The Sasolracing car was second

quickest and lined up on the front

rowof thegrid,0.234secondoffpole

position.

Race I:

Race one was a 2nd gear rolling

start and Hennie lost a little trac-

tion off the grid, allowing the Jo-

han Fourie BMW to pass into the

first turn. As the 8-lapper pro-

gressed, Hennie glued the Sub-

arus nose to the BMWs back

bumper and stuck it alongside

onceor twice, butdidnt quitehave

themomentumtopull themoveoff

and ended the race in 3rd place.

The inverted grid for race 2 saw

Hennie line up fourth.

Race 2:

The start was messy, Hennie

exclaimed. We started in first

gear, trundling along at 20 km/h.

Hennie slipped to 5th place in the

drag away from the line, but

carvedhisway to3rdby thesecond

corner of the opening lap, passing

GennaroBonafedesAudiandFou-

ries BMW in one fell swoop.

With a committed driver and su-

perb grip from the Subaru out of

the corners while the field was

bunched up, Hennie struck again,

taking Tschops Sipukas position

down the back straight. Two laps

later, reigning champion Michael

Stephen fell victim to the Sasolrac-

ing driver after some side by side

racing from the top drawer.

After passing the leader, the rest

of the class A field tripped over

each other as they fought for posi-

tion, allowing Hennie to build a

dominant lead at a rate of a second

per lap.

Hennie was delighted with the

teams second win of the year.

Michael helped me tremendous-

ly,holdinguptheotherguyswhich

letmegetaway.Thechangesweve

made to the Subaru are all positive

and it shows we are on the right

track.

The team did a precautionary

gearbox change between races two

and three as Hennie felt grating

while swopping cogs.

Race 3:

From second place on the grid,

the field poured into the first cor-

nerwith the Subaru again glued to

the rear bumper of the BMW.

Immediately, Etienne van der

Linde went defensive, changing

his line as the pair fought tooth-

and-nail around the 4,2 kmcircuit.

On lap five, the Subaru trailed a

plume of ominous blue smoke and

Hennie was forced to pit. A quick

inspection revealed a cracked oil

pipe knuckle, dripping oil onto the

exhaust so the team called it a day,

disappointed at what could have

been, but elated by their best per-

formance since the Kyalami out-

ing at the start of the season.

Hennie said: The Subarus han-

dling is perfectly neutral. It felt

great all day.This is great prepara-

tion for the Sasol Raceday at the

end of the month.

Team principal Carel Pienaar

added: We had a very encourag-

ing day after all the work we have

put in over the past eight weeks.

tributing factors include the his-

However, given subdued econom-

above inflation price increases,

the rate of market growth in the

and lag during the first sixmonths

Three Land Cruiser 70 Series

models the 76 StationWagon, the

79 Single Cab and the 79 Double

Cab are the latest recipients of

this Euro IV-compliant V8 engine

delivering 151 kW of power at

3 400 rpm. Peak torque of 430 Nm

is reached at just 1 200 rpm and

held all the way to 3 200 rpm - the

flattest torquecurveofallToyotas

engine that still sees service in se-

lected Land Cruiser workhorses.

gine is the firstToyota enginewith

The use of graphite iron provides

for low weight and a compact size

while resisting the high cylinder

pressures of a turbo-charged die-

sel design.

The V8 turbo-diesel range mir-

rors that of the other petrol and

diesel models in the 70 Series. All

turbo-diesel models get power

ple carrier (for up to five people),

the 76 Station Wagon is the most

sumptuously equipped boasting

such interior extras as carpeted

flooring, on-board SatNav, stereo

system incorporating a CD player

and an auxiliary USB port. Aes-

thetically the most refined of the

70 V8 trio, the 76 is adorned with

combination colour-coded and

though market conditions were not

always easy. However, the econom-

ic climate remains tense, especially

inEurope, saidGroupBoardMem-

Locally, Volkswagen Group

cles in the first six months of 2013.

Opel fanwins trip toGermanAutobahn

QUICPIC

JacquesOosthuizen, aJohannes-

burg based Opel fan has won the

ultimateprize inOpelsWirLeben

Autobahngame,aracingcompeti-

tion held over a period of three

months on the Opel Facebook

Page.

Oosthuizen and a friend will visit

the home of Opel and experience a

drive on theGermanAutobahn, one

of the only roads in the world with

no specific speed limit.

TheWirLebenAutobahncompeti-

tion openedwith 3704 Opel fans rac-

ing for a top leaderboard spot in the

virtual Opel Astra OPC game on

OpelsFacebookPage.Thetop twen-

ty fastest competitors in the game

made it through to the final round

whichwas held at the Gerotek vehi-

cle test facility in Pretoria on Satur-

day 13 July. All the participants

were given first-hand experience of

the Opel Astra OPCs dynamic han-

dling, power and agility as they

faced the final, and real world, test

of their driving ability.

We had an early start at Gerotek

on Saturday morning but I was

pleased to see twenty very passion-

ate Opel fans arrive with smiles on

their faces. The atmosphere was

cheerful with a fewnervous partici-

pantswho couldnt contain their ex-

citement at getting the opportunity

to drive the Astra OPC, said Opel

Advertising Analyst, Mokete

Seakamela.

The day was packed with activi-

ties where the participants were

first welcomed by Opel brand man-

ager at GM South Africa, Christo-

pher Cradock, who gave them an

overview of the Opel brand. They

were thentakenthroughapresenta-

tion of theory about driving aware-

ness, basic road skills andmechani-

cal knowledge of the OPC by the

Opel Academy instructor, Grant

McCleery.

The first challenge of the day was

on the dynamic handling track

where participants were tested on

cornering techniques, correctuseof

the clutch, gears and acceleration.

This was followed by a module on

the skidpan, with participants be-

ing tested on vehicle control and

their ability to pull-off the collision

avoidancetechniquestheyhadbeen

taught by instructorsMcCleery and

MariusvanVuuren.Someofthema-

noeuvres carried out included re-

covering froma loss of control in an

under steer or over steer situation,

brakingandemergencylanechange

with andwithout applying theAnti-

lock Braking System (ABS).

I have never experienced a car

that can handle as well as the OPC.

It surprised me. The redesign is

amazing and I cannot put words to

the experience, especially getting to

experience the OPC at a track like

Gerotek, said Oosthuizen, winner

of theWirLebenAutobahncompeti-

tion.

The skidpan was followed by the

high speed oval which seemed to be

themost eventful of the days activi-

ties. Participants were required to

drive the 206 kWAstra OPC at high

speed around the oval track. Opel

is a very dynamic brand that has

createdsomeofthemostmemorable

hot hatchesweve ever had in South

Africa. I am quite happy to see that

our fans are also very talented driv-

ers and that we now have twenty

very good driverswho are out there

acting as ambassadors of the

brand, said Cradock.

The final activity required the

participants to drive through cones

on the straight track where they

were tested on their steering tech-

niques and ability to drive through

the cones.

The final winner and first place

position was chosen based on the

fastest lap time on both the dynam-

ics race and through the cones on

the straight track with the least

coneshitaswellasthedriversabili-

ty to demonstrate good vehicle con-

trol through the obstacles.

There were many talented driv-

ers here today, but I felt Oosthuizen

stood out because he has a very

smooth and controlled driving tech-

nique, said instructorvanVuuren.

Its the first competition I have

everwon and itwill bemine andmy

wifes first trip overseas. Its amaz-

ing to know a company is willing to

go to this length to reward a fan,

said Oosthuizen

The 5-night prize to Germany in-

cludes a plant tour of the Opel plant

in Rsselsheim, where the Opel In-

signia and the Astra 5-door models

aremanufactured, a tourof theOpel

SkaarssesmaandenadatHonda

se bekostigbare en oulike in-

treevlak-luikrugmotor, die

Brio, plaaslik bekend gestel is,

word die reeks nou uitgebrei

met die toevoeging van n ewen-

eens dinamiese en moderne se-

danweergawe.

Die vierdeur-sedan bied steeds

die Brio se kenmerkend spranke-

lende en jeugdige ontwerpbenade-

ring, gekoppel aan wakker verrig-

ting, uitsonderlike doeltreffend-

heid en aansienlike waarde.

Boonop voeg die sedan praktiese

voordele meer ruimte binne, en

n groot bagasiebak by die Brio

se suksesresep.

Deur die as-afstand met 55 mm

te verleng, het Honda se inge-

nieurs die Brio-kajuit nog ruimer

gemaak.Diemotor bieduitsonder-

like beenruimte agter, terwyl die

bagasiebak nou 405 liter groot is.

Jonger gesinne met n behoefte

bekostigbaar, ekonomies en veel-

sydig is, salveralbydiedieBrio-se-

dan se ekstra ruimte enmeerprak-

tieseuitlegaanklankvind.Boonop

baat die motor by Honda se uitne-

mende reputasie vir duursaam-

heid en betroubaarheid.

Hoewel die Brio-sedan effens

groter en aansienlik ruimer is

as die luikrug, het die massa met

net 30 kg toegeneem, wat beteken

dat die Brio se dinamiese, energie-

ke karakter ook vir die vierdeur-

weergawe geld.

Die sedan word deur dieselfde

moderne en ekonomiese i-VTEC-

kragbron van 1,2 F aangedryf wat

reeds in die luikrugweergawe

diens doen. Die kompakte viersi-

linder-eenheidlewer nruimskoot-

se kragmaksimum van 65 kW by 6

000 r/min, gekoppel aan n wring-

kragpiek van 109 Nm by 4 500 r/

min.

sal wees vir stedelike pendelaars

wat gedurig swaar verkeer moet

verduur.

Die Brio-sedan se gunstige krag-

tot-massaverhouding sorg vir le-

wendige werkverrigting. Die

handratmodelle versnel in sowat

12,5 sekondes van 0 tot 100 km/h.

Belangriker is egter die motor se

suinige brandstofverbruik: die

Trend-handratmodel spog met n

syfervansowat6,1F/100kmvirdie

gekombineerde siklus.

Dit is egterdieBrio-sedansebin-

ter gaan wees.

Die uitleg voor is presies dieself-

deasdivandie luikrugweergawe,

met n ergonomiese benadering

wat die klem op beide gerief en ry-

genot plaas.

Die uitleg van die instrumente

en skakelaars is gebruiksvriende-

lik, en selfs die Trend-intreevlak-

model is volledig toegerus, wat vir

ho geriefvlakke sorg. Die selfs

weelderiger Comfort-weergawe

spog met n nog langer lys stan-

daardkenmerke.

Die nuwe agterdeure maak lek-

ker wyd oop om maklike toegang

tot die ruim agtersitplek te verse-

ker, terwyl daar ook hope been- en

kopruimte is. n Middelgeplaaste

armleuning met ingeboude plek

van die nuwe Brio-sedan: die 1.2

Trend, wat net met n vyfgang-

handratkas beskikbaar is, en die

1.2 Comfort, wat n keuse van n

vyfgang-handratkas of n outoma-

tiese vyfgangratkas bied.

Die Brio-luikrug het die intree-

mark behoorlik stormgeloop toe

ons die motor vroeg in Desember

verlede jaar bekend gestel het, s

Graham Eagle, direkteur van pas-

sasiermotors byHondaMotor Sui-

der-Afrika.

Dit het Honda se veelgeroemde

gehalte en betroubaarheid binne

die bereik van n brer motorge-

hoor geplaas, en boonop n nuwe

energie en n jonger beeld aan die

Honda-naam gekoppel.

Terwyl die luikrugweergawe

van die Brio spesifiek gemik is op

jonger, tendensbewuste motorko-

pers, waarvan baie ook eerste mo-

torkopers is, sal die Brio-sedan die

kringwyer trek,enook jong,beeld-

bewuste gesinne insluit wat n be-

hoefte het aan die vierdeur-weer-

gawe se bykomende ruimte en

praktiese kenmerke.

Ons gaan ook die Brio-luikrug

nog meer aantreklik maak deur n

bykomende, intreevlakmodel, die

Trend, by die bestaande Comfort-

weergawe te voeg. Ons is daarvan

oortuig dat die nuweling nogmeer

motorryers aan die Brio se spran-

kel sal voorstel, het Eagle afge-

sluit.
