Motoring Feature: SA’s best-selling passenger cars and the hidden cost of small dents

Gugs Mhlungu chats to Kumbi Mtshakazi, resident motoring enthusiast, to unpack April’s car sales figures, which totalled around 50,000 units. The conversation explores what continues to drive the popularity of brands like Toyota and Suzuki, including affordability, reliability, and value for money, while also looking at why models such as the VW Polo have slipped down the sales rankings. They also touch on how seemingly small issues, like minor dents or cosmetic damage, can be overlooked by car owners but often end up leading to far bigger repair costs over time.  Gugs Mhlungu is your weekend companion for thoughtful conversations on lifestyle, health, culture, books, food, and everything happening around 702Land.
