COUNTRY LIVING: BREAKAWAY IN LUXURY FROMHUSTLE AND BUSTLE

Winelandsestate for lifestylebuyers

Nestled in the scenic Paarl/

Franschhoek Valley with stun-

ning views of the Simonsberg

Mountains, the Winelands Es-

tate is one of the most sought af-

ter wine and olive estates in the

CapeWinelands primarily for its

setting and generous property

sizes, says Seeff Franschhoek

agent, Adell Ferreira.

Aside from appealing to residen-

tial buyers fromwithin theareaand

nearby commercial centres such as

Stellenbosch, it is also within the

catchment area for Cape Town buy-

ers and of course for up-country

buyers looking for a country escape

in a sought-after setting.

The 20 ha estate is home to just 32

exclusive freehold properties scat-

tered amidst vineyards and olive

groves. It is secure and offers a real

respite from the hustle and bustle

of big city life, says the agent. It of-

fers the best country lifestyle that

buyers could want for and is espe-

cially suited to families. Here, you

canenjoy theoutdoors,walkandcy-

clewithinasecuresettingandenjoy

theultimatevineyard lifestylewith-

out having the burden of actually

owning a wine farm, adds Ferreira.

Although rural, there is top class

infrastructure and amenities close

by including Bridge House, a pri-

vate school that offers playschool to

grade 12 with boarding facilities.

Aside fromtheobviousaccess to the

manywine estates in the area, there

are top class restaurants, retail and

medicalcareaswellas leisure facili-

ties such as top golf courses nearby.

Land sizes in the estate vary from

around 4 000 m to around 1,1 ha

that would include a vineyard or

olive grove, with prices ranging up-

wardsofR1,8million.Theestatehas

a distinct Tuscan characterwith in-

dividually designed and crafted

homes in variations of the Tuscan

buildingstyle.Earthytonesandnat-

ural finishes such as stone, wood

and terracotta lendnotonlyaesthet-

ic appeal to the homes, but blend

with the natural surroundings.

Although it is still a fairly new es-

tate and homes do not often change

hands, complete homes typically

sell for upwards of R6 million to

around R14,5 million for an 850 m

luxury villa on a plot of just over

4 000 m. This beautiful home is

built in a U-shape, fronted by col-

umned terraceswith outdoor living

areas around a feature swimming

pool. Finishes include archedwood-

en windows and doors, open-rafter

ceilings, chandeliers, feature stone

cladding, porcelain tiles and under-

floor heating and air-conditioning

throughout.

The home opens to a spacious,

double-volume entrance hall that

overlooks the swimming pool ter-

race with the living rooms leading

off on either side. These include an

open-plan lounge and dining room

with a fireplace, family room, also

withafireplace,bar, largestudyand

an underground wine cellar. The

open-plan kitchen comes with cus-

tom-built cabinets and a separate

scullery. There are three spacious

bedroom suites on the upper level

and a guest suite on the lower level.

rages for three vehicles.

Sprucingupyournewhome

Unless youre moving into a squeaky-

cleanflatortownhouseboughtstraight

from the developer, its quite likely

that youll notice all sorts of things

youd like to spruce up around your

new home as soon as you see it empty

of the sellers belongings.

And while major changes may have to

wait until youre over the expense of mov-

ing, there are some things you should con-

sider doing right away because they pro-

videmaximumgratification forminimum

outlay, saysBerryEveritt,MDof theChas

Everitt International property group.

Probably the most important of these is

applying a fresh coat of paint throughout.

Unless the previous owner painted the

home shortly before selling, the walls may

well appear quite dingy once the rooms

have been emptied of furniture. But new

paint, especially if its white or a light

shade, will take care of that - and give you

a real sense of ownership.

It is easier, however, to paint an empty

home than one full of furniture, so you

should try to arrange access to the proper-

ty for a few days before you actually move

in.

Writing in the Property Signposts news-

letter, he says the second fix to look at

is lighting. For relatively little expendi-

ture, you can change the whole atmos-

phere of a room by installing new light fit-

tings or strategically arranging a couple

of reading or stand lamps to brighten dark

corners.

Plants and fresh flowers are also a great

help in giving your home a cheerful, invit-

ing atmosphere, as are a fewbright posters

and art prints hung in inexpensive, ready-

made frames, Everitt says.

And finally, you should take the oppor-

tunity to try different furniture arrange-

ments to create a relaxed, uncluttered liv-

ing environment that will welcome you

home every day and make all the hassle

of moving seem worthwhile.

Multi-facetedapproach topropertymarketing

The way business is done today is far dif-

ferent from the way it was done 20 years

ago. Or so it should be. We live in a vastly

differentworld.Technologyhas improved

at a lightning speedandas a result sohave

thedifferentmarketingoptionsavailable.

Back in the 1980s it was common to have

theoddprint advert for aproperty. Itwasusu-

ally in black and white, and occasionally in

one colour. In the late 1990s this changed to

full colour advertising, and the Internet was

introduced.

Todayevenmoreisonofferbutwhatreally

works, and what doesnt?

Here are some interesting statistics weve

gathered from our local marketing which

prove what is effective:

)Printmarketing:Print cannotbe ignored.

It still appeals to buyers, especially where

web-references are used to drive interest to

websites for additional information.

On average we experience a 250% increase

in website viewing for our listings when they

are advertised in print.

)Showhouses: it really isnt good enough

to juststickafewboardsupandhopetoattract

the right buyers.

When we advertise the property in print as

being on show we enjoy a 140% increase in

showhouse attendance.

Inaddition to this,whenwee-mail ourdata-

base of qualified buyers and invite them to

a showhouse we have qualified buyers, look-

ing in the correct price range, in attendance.

Another modern innovation is the short-

ened time period for a showhouse.

We have noticed that when we have 1-hour

showhouses and condensed buyer viewing

then buyers appreciate they need to compete

for the property, and offers are much closer

to the asking price.

)For Sale boards: The basic For Sale board

does work, but it unfortunately still attracts

many unqualified enquiries. Since we intro-

duced unique photo boards at our listings

withacolourphoto, accommodation informa-

tion, and aQR code that directs buyers direct-

ly to the website listing, we have experienced

a 220% increase in buyer enquiry from

boards.

)Website listings: Yes, everyone lists on

Property24 and Private Property, and they

both work well. But when you enhance your

listing with video and floor plans, then view-

ings increase by over 400%.

In addition to this, there a number of other

effective websites that attract enquiries.

)E-mailmarketing:One of themost power-

ful marketing innovations to date.

Your listing is matched to suitable buyers

and these buyers receive customized e-mails

introducing your property to them.

Whenwe send out e-mailmarketing on list-

ings, on average we experience a 300% in-

crease in website activity on the listing.

The reality is that, while all of the above

methods are effective, if you really want to

be visible to buyers, you need all of these

methods employed to make sure your listing

stands our from the rest.

Great marketing and strong buyer enquiry

results in you selling for full market value.

KOREANSTAR: IMPRESSIVE SPORTY DESIGN,QUALITY FINISHES ANDCOMFORT

Kia launchesnewCeratohatchback

QUICKPIC

After the launch of the newCera-

to sedan model in May 2013, Kia

Motors SouthAfrica (KMSA) has

maintained its share and pre-

senceinthehighlycompetitiveC-

segment in the local automotive

industry.

Initially showcased at the 2013

Chicago Auto Show earlier this

year, the all-new Cerato 5-door

hatchback impressed with its eye-

catching and sporty design, quality

finishes and surprising interior

space and comfort levels, similar to

those found on its sibling sedan

model.

We received very positive feed-

back after the all-new Cerato sedan

made its debut in SouthAfrica back

in May, and we expect the all-new

Cerato 5-door will build upon that

success, said David Sieff, Market-

ing Director of KMSA . The combi-

nation of a practical hatchback for

carryingcargoandthesportytouch-

es throughout the car make the all-

new Cerato 5-door a dual threat in

the segment.

Born from the Kia design studio

in Seoul and overseen by Kias glo-

bal chief of design, Peter Schreyer,

the Cerato 5-doors sophisticated

hatchback profile, large wheels and

aggressive posture give it a distinct-

lyEuropeanappearancethatspeaks

to its sporty intentions. Its chiseled

body commands attention and con-

tinues Kias tradition as a design

leader in the industry.

The Cerato 5-door boasts an ag-

gressive front fascia with larger

bumper and grille openings, black

gloss grille inserts, large front

brakes, alloy sport pedals as well as

front and rear seatswith carbon fib-

er-style accents. Like its Cerato se-

dancounterpart, theCerato 5-doors

swept headlights stretch deep into

the front fenders and the raked

windshield and broad shoulders

give the front end a sleek, athletic

appearance. LED positioning lights

add a premium look to the front fas-

cia. Moving around the vehicle, the

large 17-inch wheels fill the wheel

wells on the SX, and the hatchback

profile affords a performance-ori-

ented sporty personality. Around

the rear, the boot opens to reveal

385 F of usable cargo space. LED tail

lights complete the premium feel of

the exterior and a sporty rear val-

ancewith twin chrome exhaust tips

maintains the Cerato 5-doors edgy

demeanour.

Inside, the Cerato 5-door features

premium materials and soft touch

points. Large, easy-to-read white-

on-black gauges nestle deeply into

the instrument cluster. Chrome ac-

cents around the HVAC controls

andcarbonfibre-liketexturesonthe

dash and seats, add a sporty touch.

A grippy leather-wrapped steering

wheel andgearknobare further evi-

dence of the Cerato 5-doors sporty

attitude. Features such as the new

large 4,3-inchTFTLCDcentre facia,

a smart welcome home lighting sys-

tem and the newFlexsteer system

sets the Cerato 5-door apart from its

competition. The all-new Cerato

will be offered in 3 different equip-

ment levels across two engines the

1.6 EX, 2.0 EX and 2.0 SX will offer

customers Kias long list of premi-

um amenities and features not nor-

mally found in the compact seg-

ment.

Under the hood, the Cerato 5-door

packs a punch, with the 1,6 F in-line

four-cylinder Gamma engine

putting out a healthy 95,3 kW at

6300 rpm and 157 of torque at

4850 rpm through a 6-speed manual

or automatic transmission. The

higher spec 2.0 model comes stand-

ardwiththehighlycompetitive2,0 F

in-line four-cylinderNuengine,pro-

ducing 118 kW at 6500 rpm and

194,2 Nmof torque at 4800 rpm. This

model will also be available in both

manual and automatic transmis-

sions.

Standard features and technology

offersvalue tonewlevelsof sophisti-

cation

ContinuingKias reputation of of-

fering tremendous value, the all-

new Cerato 5-door offers buyers an

impressive allotment of technology

and safety features.

The 1.6 EX comes standard with

16-inch alloy wheels, automatic

light control, Bluetooth, cruise con-

trol, electric windows and side mir-

rors, LED daytime running lights,

a radio with MP3, iPod and USB

compatibility, rear air-vents, six

speakers and steeringwheelmount-

ed controls.

The 2.0 EX trim further features

aFlexsteersystem,leatherseatsand

an optional sunroof. The 2.0 SX ups

wheels, frontandrearparkdistance

comehomesystem,asmartkeywith

astop/startbutton, a rearviewcam-

era and Xenon headlamps.

Safety technologies standard on

all models include ABS (Antilock

Braking System) with built-in EBD

(Electronic Brake-force Distribu-

tion), active headrests, impact sens-

ing auto door unlock, a passenger

airbag on/off switch, six airbags

consisting of driver, front passen-

ger, side and curtain airbags, Isofix

child seat anchors and fog lights.

The SXmodel features ESC (Elec-

tronic Stability Control), HAC (Hill-

start Assist Control), which pre-

vents slip-back during stop-start

driving on inclines, and a VSM (Ve-

hicleStabilityManagement)system

that works with the ESC to provide

corrective steering inputs to help

thedriveravoid lossofcontrol, espe-

cially on asymmetric (wet and dry)

road surfaces.

The Cerato range comes standard

with a 5-year /150 000 kmwarranty,

5-year/90 000 km service plan and a

3-year/unlimited km roadside as-

sistance plan.

Under the hood, the Cerato 5-door packs a punch, with the 1,6F in-line four-cylinder Gamma engine putting out

VolvoS60andXC60aheadof the safetygame

QUICKPIC

Volvo Car Groups leadership in safety

technologyhasbeenhighlightedby theUS

Insurance Institute for Highway Safety

(IIHS).

The IIHSrecently introducedanewtestpro-

gramme that rates the performance of front

crash prevention systems. This is a major de-

velopment for crash tests in general, as pre-

vention systems are playing an ever-increas-

ing role in vehicle safety.

And Volvo is ahead of the game.

Both the Volvo S60 and XC60 received the

highestpossibleratingofsuperiorandVol-

vo Cars city safety system is the only stand-

ard-specification low-speed crash prevention

system in the test,which included 74 vehicles.

We welcome the fact that the major rating

institutes are starting to integrate collision

avoidance technologies in their test pro-

grammes. This gives consumers a better in-

sight into the advantages of auto brake sys-

tems. It will also drive implementation of

these technologies through the vehicle fleet,

says Thomas Broberg, senior safety advisor

at Volvo Car Group.

The IIHS new crash prevention evaluation

will be incorporated into the institutes 2014

Top Safety Pick+ rating. It includes two tests

addressingfront-to-rearcrashes,oneat20km/

h (12 mph) and the other at 40 km/h (25 mph).

An additional point is given to vehicles with

forward collision warning.

The Volvo S60 and XC60 equipped with city

safety and collision warning with full auto

brakeandpedestriandetectionareamongsev-

enmodelsthathavereceivedaSuperiorrating

in the new test.

Volvos low-speed city safety system is

standard in all new Volvo models around the

world. Most new Volvos are also available

with state-of-the-art technologies that detect,

warn and brake automatically for rear other

vehicles as well as pedestrians and cyclists.

The IIHS test focuses on two situations -

bothwith thecarapproachinga stationaryve-

hicle mock-up.

However, it should be emphasised that Vol-

vo Cars systems cover a much broader scope

of real-life scenarios, including vehicles mov-

ing in the same direction, pedestrians and cy-

clists, says Thomas Broberg.

So far, Volvo Cars has sold more than one

million cars equipped with systems for auto-

matic braking and the company will contin-

ue this pioneering work in the near future by

making detection systems work also in dark-

ness for pedestrians and by introducing colli-

sion mitigation for animals.

The benefits of Volvos ground-breaking

city safety technology has been documented

in an earlier IIHS/HLDI (Highway Loss Data

Institute) report stating a reduction of the col-

lision claim frequency with up to 20 per cent.

Data fromSwedish insurer If showsimilar fig-

ures with frontal collisions in car following

situations being reduced with 23 per cent.

The IIHS study of insurance claims involv-

ing aVolvoXC60 shows that city safety reduc-

es the costs for bodily injury liability with 33

per cent whilepropertydamage liabilitywas

lowered by 15 per cent.

Over the years, the risk of being injured

in aVolvohas been reduced continuously and

substantially. By introducing newpreventive

and protective systems, we keep moving to-

wards our aim that by 2020 no one should be

injuredorkilledinanewVolvo.Ourlong-term

vision is thatcarsshouldnotcrash, saysTho-

mas Broberg.

In 2012 the Volvo S60 was one of only three

vehicles to pass IIHS crash test. Eight out of

11 premium sedans failed an alarming new

IIHS (United States Insurance Institute)

crash test.

Only three of the 11 mid-size luxury and

near-luxury cars evaluated earned good or ac-

ceptable ratings inanalarmingnewcrash test

conducted by the United States Insurance In-

stitute for Highway Safety.

The new test a small overlap frontal crash

test is designed to replicate what happens

when the front corner of a car collides with

anothervehicle or anobject like a tree orutili-

ty pole at 64 km/h.

Rather than striking the object dead-on as

in most crash tests, the IIHS delivers a more

glancing blow that only impacts a quarter of

the cars front end. These types of collisions

are particularly dangerous, as the impactwill

often miss the energy-absorbing structures

built into the cars frame.

Small overlap crashes are a major source

of fatalities, says IIHS President Adrian

Lund. Nearly every new car performs well

in other frontal crash tests conducted by the

Institute and the federal government, but we

still see more than 10 000 deaths in frontal

crashes each year.

This new test programme is based on years

of analysing real-world frontal crashes and

thenreplicating theminourcrash test facility

to determine how people are being seriously

injured and how cars can be designed to pro-

tect thembetter.We think this is the next step

in improving frontal crash protection.

TheVolvoS60wasoneofonly threevehicles

pass this crash test testament that Volvo al-

ways has and will continue to excel in the de-

velopment of safety technology.

The Volvo S60 and XC60, equipped with city safety and collision warning with full auto

brake and pedestrian detection, are among seven models that have received a superior rat-

ing in the new test programme. PHOTO: QUICKPIC

MitsubishiMotors SA bou ywe-

rig voort op sy groeiende repu-

tasie vir die aanbieding van ge-

haltevoertuie teen uitstekende

waarde-vir-geld-pryse met die

bekendstelling van sy verfriste

en verbeterde reeks kompakte

ASX-sportnutsvoertuie. (ASX

is die akroniem vir Active

Sporty Crossover.)

Hierdiemarkbied toenemende

vlakke van waarde vir geld en n

volgehoue stroomnuwemodelle,

s Jaco Oosthuizen, uitvoerende

hoof van Mitsubishi Motors SA.

Indie lighiervanhetonsbaiever-

troue in ons jongste ASX-aanbie-

ding, veral omdat dit spog met

selfs meer toegevoegde waarde-ei-

enskappe en -voordele as sy voor-

ganger.

SedertMitsubishiop1Julie2011

tot stand gekom het as n alleen-

staande handelsmerk in die Impe-

rial-stal, het die maatskappy be-

sonder goed gevaar, met verkoop-

syfers wat sterk groei toon.

Trouens, Mitsubishi het sedert-

dien sy verkoopsvolume meer as

verdubbel en ses nuweweergawes

op die SA mark bekend gestel.

Die ASX, wat in September 2011

hier bekend gestel is, spog reeds

met n plaaslike afset van meer as

3 500 eenhede. Internasionaal is al

meer as 380 000 ASXs in meer as

100 lande van die wreld verkoop.

Die kompakte SNV is gesament-

lik met verskeie ander Europese

handelsmerke ontwikkel en bied

uitstekende verfynings- en gehal-

tevlakke. Die Mitsubishi-weerga-

we is globaal egter die suksesvol-

ste wat toegeskryf kan word aan

dieJapannersseaandagaandetail

en die mededingende pryse. En

Mitsubishi, wie se produkreeks

voorheen oorheers is deur groot

voertuie om die Dakar-uithouren

te oorheers, het besonder goed ge-

vaarmet die stadstipe stilering en

gerief van die kompakte ASX.

Vir die 2014-modeljaar is daar

vyf modelle in die ASX-reeks. Al

die weergawes trek aan hul voor-

wiele en almal word aangedryf

deur n petrolenjin van twee liter.

Daar is n keuse tussen n vyfgang-

handratkas en n sesgang-palwis-

selratkas (PWR) ofCVR (virCon-

tinuous Variable Transmission),

soos dit op Engels bekend staan.

Die bewese en ekonomiese tweeli-

terkragbron ontwikkel 110 kW by

6 000 r/min en 197 Nm se wring-

krag by 4 200 r/min. Die verbruik

is n suinige 7,5F/100km n groot

bonus in hierdie tye van ho

brandstofpryse.

Die vyf modelle is die GL, GLX

(n nuwe weergawe), die GLS met

die vyfganghandratkas en Rock-

fordFosgate-klankstelsel, dieGLS

met PWR, en die GLSmet PWR en

n Rockford Fosgate-klankstelsel.

Jaco Oosthuizen s hulle ver-

wag groot belangstelling van ko-

pers in die nuwe GLS-model met

die handrat en hogehalte-Rock-

ford Fosgate-klankstelsel omdat

mense wat in hierdie prysklas

koop benede R350 000 n voer-

skappe standaard pleks daarvan

om te moet geld uithaal vir duur

opsionele toerusting, soos die ge-

val is met die produkte van ver-

skeie ander handelsmerke op die

plaaslike mark.

Al die ASX-modelle het n mid-

delpaneel in n donker titaan-

kleur. Standaard in die GL- en

GLX-modelle is n opgegradeerde

klankstelselmetvier luidsprekers

en twee hotoonluidsprekers. Vir

die oudiofiele is daar die opsie van

die Rockford Fosgate-stelsel in die

GLS-weergawes, wat n 500W-lae-

basluidspreker plus nege luid-

sprekers insluit. Die klankstelsel

word beheer deur kontroles aan

die stuurwiel.

stelsel, wat skakeling deur pro-

grammatuur moontlik maak wat

ook n leerfunksie het. Die foon

kan ook van die stuurwiel af be-

dryf word.

Ook standaarddeur die helemo-

spiels, snelheidsbeheer met kon-

troles aan die stuurwiel, renge-

voelige ruitvers en outomatiese

beheer van die hoofligte, afhan-

gende van die beskikbare lig.

Die omvattende spesifikasie

van die nuweASX plaas dit gerief-

lik op dieselfde vlak as die vlag-

skipmodelle van mededingende

kompakte sportnutsvoertuie.

Vir die 2014-modeljaar het Mit-

subishi geenveranderingeaandie

Jeep crosses theRubicon

inBridgestoneChallenge

QUICKPIC

Jeeps are in that

class of off-road

vehicles which

will crawl over

just about any-

thing you point

them at.

The recent

Bridgestone 4x4

Club Challenge,

hosted by the Jeep

Club SA, gave a

large number of

Jeep owners a

chance to prove

this theory while

fighting for podi-

um positions and a

place in the 4x4

Club Challenge fi-

nals, coming up in

November.

The event

round eight of the

2013 Bridgestone

4x4ClubChallenge

was held at the

Hobby Park com-

plex on the West

Rand and formed

part of a long-

weekend-long Jeep Jamboree event at the

same venue.

Those who were expecting to compete un-

der mild spring conditions got a nudge in the

rib cage from Mother Nature on a day which

turned out to be cold and windy.

Almost 40 Jeep

teams lined up to

tackle the ten ob-

stacles on offer.

Obstacle one

proved to be an

early challenge

several axle

twisters were fol-

lowed by a tight

turn, a steep de-

scent at an angle,

and narrow gate

to negotiate.

While themore

experienced

crews planned

their routes, the

rookies had a

toughertimeof it,

incurring many

penalties.

Obstacle two

was a real chal-

lenge and led to

strained rela-

tions between

driver and co-

driver in some

cases.

The competi-

torshadtonegoti-

ate a number of

garages and re-

verse up steep slopes while the co-driver

shouted directions.

Obstacle three was a water crossing which

looked daunting but proved easy to handle.

Obstacle four had the competitors in a pick-

le though only one Jeep would score full

marks in this challenge which entailed re-

versing up a steep slope with strategically

placed ice packs that caused wheels to slip.

At the top of the incline the Jeeps had to

tap a pole with their rear bumpers not too

softly, but also not too hard.

Obstacle five was a steep and rutted climb

while the sixth obstacle was a tough descent.

Obstacles seven, eight and nine were more of

the same: narrow gates and tight turns, not

tomentionmore rocks and steep inclines and

declines.

But it was obstacle 10 that will probably en-

dure the longest in thememories of the rookie

drivers.

Here the driver was blindfolded, and the

co-driver had to navigate the driver down a

steepdecline, throughsomewater,andupand

over a steep exit point.

Therewere a few scarymoments, andmore

than a fewnervous yelps fromdrivers and co-

driversalike,butintheendall theteamsmade

it through unscathed.

When the day of close calls was over, the

scores were added up and in third place, win-

ning a hand winch from Opposite Lock, were

Jimmy Olds and Bertus Badenhorst in a

Wrangler Rubicon.

Second place also went to a Rubicon, that

of Rudolph and Ria Wolmarans, who won a

set of Light Force spotlights from Opposite

Lock.

And it was a Wrangler Rubicon that took

first place too, in the hands of seasoned com-

petitors Werner and Armand Schaap.

In giving the Rubicon its clean sweep of the

podium, the teamwon a R10 000 tyre voucher

from Bridgestone South Africa, and booked

a place in Novembers 4x4 Club Challenge fi-

nals.

Obstacle three was a water crossing which looked

daunting, but proved easy to handle.
