The Toyota Yaris has everything you need to put your ambitionon the map and get you on the road to success: robust perform-ance, excellent agility and dynamic styling all backed by unbeatablesafety and quality.I hit the road in a bubblegum metallic Toyota Yaris and the sleek
new design turned some heads – the car’s way.The Toyota Yaris line-up includes Xi, Xs and Xr models in either

min, electric power steering and a tight turning circle of 4.7m –one of the smallest in its class, which makes for nimble and re-sponsive handling.The 1.3 XR three-door model also features a super-size pano-
ramic moon roof with front and rear roller shades to give you alarger-than-life view of the world.All models are fitted with with high-mount LED rear stop lamp

FEAR, fun, excitementandarushofadrenalineawaitsanyone taking on the Land Rover 4x4 Experience.
The course, at Simonsig Wine Estate, is a thrill that willtest both your sense of adventure and endurance.
More advanced courses are offered – like intermediate,advanced and sand driving courses – but for rookies likemyself and People’s Post advertising manager Belita Ran-dall the introductory course was the way to go.
The team at Land Rover Experience do not sell vehicles;they simply offer 4x4 enthusiasts and owners the opportu-nity to learn to use their vehicle to its full potential.
Wynand Bohnen, our instructor at the Land Rover Expe-rience, says: “Knowing the capability of your vehicle is im-portant. Land Rover has found that when you understandhow your vehicle works you are already 50% there withregards to 4x4 driving.”
Knowing your vehicle’s capability and function will helpyou know which function to apply in any situation or ter-rain, he adds. Whether it be mountain terrain, snow, sandor ruts you will be trained to apply the necessary functionso that your vehicle can function at optimum level.
“It was a hugely exciting experience,” says Randall, her-self a 4x4 owner, as it “forces you to trust the vehicle thatyou are in. It was scary, going up these huge inclines andnot knowing what’s on the other side and from your van-tage point all you see in front of you are blue skies.”.
Wilma van Wyk, events coordinator, sales and market-ing representative at Land Rover Experience, says: “Driv-ing 4x4 off-road becomes a lifestyle since it challenges youto go beyond your comfort zone and increases your self-confidence.”
WIN! Register on People’s Post’s website (www.peoples-post.co.za) and you could win a 4x4 experience. The prizeis valued at R1 600.

Car systems ‘talk’ with each otherYURI KAGEYAMA
TOYOTA has joined the ranks of manufacturer stesting car safety systems that allow vehiclesto communicate with each other.
The cars at the intelligent transport system sitereceive information from sensors and transmittersinstalled on the streets tominimise the risk of acci-dents in situations such as missing a red trafficlight, cars advancing fromblind spots and pedestri-ans crossing the street.The system’s warning indicators include a beep-
ing sound in the car and an image of a person pop-ping up on a screen in front of the driver when the
presence of a pedestrian is triggered, a picture ofan arrow popping up to indicate an approaching carat an intersection and an electronic voice saying:“It’s a red light,” if the driver was about to ignorea red light.Toyota officials said the smart-car technology it
is developing will be tested on some Japaneseroads starting in 2014. Toyota claims the technolo-gy will be effective because half of car accidentshappen at intersections.Toyota also showed a new feature that helps the
driver brake harder to prevent bumping into the ve-
hicle in front. Toyota officials said drivers often failto push hard on their brakes in such situations be-cause they get into a panic.Toyota said the technology will be available
“soon,” without giving a date, and hinted it will beoffered for Lexus luxury models. Luxury models al-ready offer similar safety features such as auto-matic braking. Technology involving precise sen-sors remains expensive, sometimes costing asmuch as a cheaper Toyota car.The automaker also developed sonar sensors
that help drivers avoid crashing in parking lots. One
system even knows when the driver pushes on theaccelerator by mistake instead of the brakes, andwill stop automatically.Rear-end collisions make up 34% of car acci-
dents in Japan, comprising the biggest category,followed by head-on collisions at 27%.Cars that stop and go on their own, avoiding acci-
dents, are not pure science fiction, experts say.Alberto Broggi, professor at the University of Par-
ma and an expert on intelligent transportation sys-tems, said the idea of the accident-free cars is“very hot”, and probably within reach on someroads within several years.“I’m sure wewill arrive to such a technology even
if I don’t know when exactly,” he said. –Wheels24

Added value makes Hayabusa soarAdded value makes Hayabusa soarDAVE FALL
ANOTHER chapter in the legend of theworld’s fastest superbike is about tobe written with the announcement ofa couple of impor tant new features onSuzuki’s Hayabusa.
The idea is to keep the bike at the topof the tree for the 2013 model year.For me, it’s hard to believe Suzuki’s
celebrated superbike (named after theJapanese Peregrine falcon) has beenwith us for nearly 13 years – but it has.
Image galleryThat’s right, it was more than a dec-
ade ago, back in 1999, that Suzukishook the bike world with the announce-ment of the ’Busa, a bike that combinedmassive thrust, unmatchedmanoeuvra-bility and a silky-smooth ride on citystreets or the open road.Just like a heavyweight boxer, it’s
muscular yet surprisingly agile.While riders rarely need to call on its
full punch off the line, the superabun-dant power and fleet-footed perform-ance inspire confidence in everyday rid-ing.If you ever needed more tangible
proof of it being the fastest standardproduction superbike yet made it’sworth recalling that at the inauguralSouth African speed trials held at Haks-teen Pan near Upington in the NorthernCape a few weeks ago only two motorcy-
clesmanaged to go faster than 300km/h barrier: a pair of Hayabusas!Beneath that swept-back design
beats that glorious Suzuki Hayabusamotor. The resonating feel of pure powerevokes an attitude of bold authority fromboth machine and rider. Through manyengineering refinements of the originaldesign, the Hayabusa spirit has en-
dured.Its incomparable performance deliv-
ers a fun and sporty ride at any speed,setting the bar high for rivals and defin-ing “the ultimate sport bike”.I well remember taking a road-test
unit to a Buffalo Rally in Aliwal Northback in 1999, taking in a near country-wide trip of nearly 1800km over that
long weekend. The bike was certainlythe quickest I’d ever ridden; factor insome of the world’s best biking roadsbetween KZN and the Eastern Cape andyou have a ride that sits well in this bik-er’s memory.That restrained, refined energy is the
presence that turns heads when a Haya-busa and rider pass.
During its short history the ’Busa hasevolved yet stayed true to its concept –the very pinnacle of high-performancemotorcycles. Its sensational power,speed, smooth ride and overwhelmingpresence continue to fascinate ownersand onlookers.Using what is widely regarded as the
best braking componentry on the mar-ket, the 2013 GSX1300R Hayabusanow has Brembo Monoblock caliperswith a new lightweight anti-lock brakingsystem as standard that will confidentlyrein in the potentially ballistic speed ofthe bike.The system will give future riders way
greater confidence.Fast as it is, the Hayabusa is equally
at home on the highways or city streets.The low centre of gravity that lets it con-quer winding roads also makes Hayabu-sa a nimble urban predator. Then there’sits high-quality finish and attention todetail.The bold design also gives it a unique
aura and formidable presence not foundon other bikes.Whatever, the new features men-
tioned above are sure to appeal to loneriders cruising the highway as well astouring couples.. Offered in three new colour
schemes, the revised Hayabusa shouldreachSouth African showroomsas earlyas the first quarter of 2013, but theprice still has to be officially calculated.– Wheels24
SHE’S A BEAUT! Suzuki’s new Hayabusa.

HONDA has pioneered a new lightweight andcompact onemotor hybrid system for small vehicles, called the sports hybrid intelligent dualclutch drive system.
This new hybrid system will be the latest additionto the Earth Dreams Technology series of new generation powertrain technology that combines driving performance and high levels of fuel efficiency.
Together with the sport hybrid intelligent multimode drive for midsized vehicles and the sport hybrid super handling – all wheel drive, the newlydeveloped sport hybrid intelligent dual clutch drivewill join the lineup of three systems that can accommodate different vehicle sizes and characteristics, the automaker says.
Honda claims this new system will offer high levels of fuel efficiency and acceleration that is morepowerful than that of existing models to ensuredriver enjoyment and performance is not sacrificed.
It combines a newlydeveloped inline fourcylinder 1.5litre Atkinson cycle engine with a sevenspeed DCT2 system. The builtin highoutput motorand lithiumion battery improve efficiency by morethan 30% compared to a conventional onemotor
hybrid system, the automaker said.According to Honda, the combination of the one
motor hybrid system and the engine offers sportydriving during acceleration and highspeed cruisingby using the clutches to engage the engine. Electricvehicle driving is utilised during start up and lowto mediumspeed cruising by using the clutches todisengage the engine.
This system contributes to the improvement offuel efficiency by increasing energy regenerationusing the clutches to disengage the engine duringdeceleration.
The automaker claims this hybrid systemachieves the world’s highest efficiency by combining a newlydeveloped engine dedicated for hybridvehicles a new 2.0litre Atkinson cycle engine, anelectric CVT coupled with two builtin motors anda lockup clutch with a lithiumion battery.
It also includes a system that can switch modesto match driving styles and situations.
Outline of the systemThe system switches the operation among the
following three driving modes depending on drivingconditions and the battery charge level:
EV Drive: for driving by the electric motor using
electricity from the battery and regeneration duringdeceleration.
Engine Drive: for mediumto highspeed cruisingwith the engine and axle directly connected by alockup clutch and engine power is mechanicallytransferred to the wheels.
Hybrid Drive: for urban driving and powerful acceleration using the motor with electricity generated by the engine.
This hybrid system, which is also suitable as aplugin hybrid system, will be installed to the NorthAmerican version of the Accord, scheduled to beintroduced in January.
According to the manufacturer, the combination
of a V6 engine and this highoutput threemotor system achieves acceleration performance equivalentto that of a V8 with fuel efficiency better than thatof an inline fourcylinder engine.
A new V6 3.5litre directinjection engine is installed in the front of the vehicle and combined witha newlydeveloped sevenspeed DCT system witha builtin motor. This Honda technology uses twomotors installed in the rear to control torque distribution to the right and left rear wheels.
These latest advancements in electric vehicletechnologies further progress Honda towards making the Sport Hybrid, such as the forthcoming newNSX model, a reality. – Wheels24

Motoring matters in briefTHE Ford Ranger has won the InternationalPick-Up Award 2013.
This makes it the third internationalaward the US automaker has won in 2012.
Judges ranked the new Ranger based onits performance, engine line-up, payload andtowing capability.
The bakkie was tested at the MillbrookProving Ground in Bedfordshire, England.
The Izuzu D-Max and Volkswagen Amarokwere placed second and third respectively.
Jarlath Sweeney, a judge on the panel,said: “The Ford Ranger is a great all-round-er, combining the perfect blend of on-roadcomfort and stability with off-road capabili-ty.”
Paul Randle, vehicle line director of FordEurope, said: “The Ranger is great for workand great for leisure, and customers will ap-preciate the difference as soon as they get be-hind the wheel.
“This prestigious award is testament tothe work of our global product teams andthere is plenty more to look forward to withthe launch of the all-new Transit and all-newTransit Connect in 2013.”
Ford has also scooped the 2012 Internation-al Engine of the Year for its 1.0 EcoBoost pet-rol engine as well as the International Van
of the Year 2013 (new Transit Custom).) A report from the European Commis-
sion released earlier in 2012 indicates thatdriving on under-inflated tyres can increasefuel consumption by as much as 4%, halvethe tyre’s life – and possibly kill you.
The commission adds that almost five mil-lion tons of CO2 are created by vehicles run-ning on under-inflated rubber.
Experts have also warned that soft tyrescan affect vehicle stability to the point ofcrashing.
Bridgestone, in a survey of 38 000 vehiclesacross nine European countries, found 71%of cars had under-inflated tyres.
European online tyre retailer Delticomprovided this example: “Riding a bicyclewith incorrectly inflated tyres requiresmuch more personal energy to move the bi-cycle forward. The same applies to your car,using excessive fuel and creating extra CO2emissions.”
Experts recommend regular tyre-pressureand tread-depth checks – at least once amonth – and frequent checks of their generalcondition, including the spare in the boot.
The tyre pressures for your car should beavailable on the driver’s door jamb or in thehandbook. – Wheels24

THE adage “looks can be deceiving” appliesperfectly to the Daihatsu Terios Off-Road.
While the compact, short-wheel-base off-roaderis no ugly step-sister in the aesthetic department,at first glance few would expect it to match thecapabilities of the larger and more costly 4x4s onthe market. Surprisingly, it does just that and inmany ways surpasses the competition.The Terios Off-Road is as comfortable on
smooth tar as it is on uneven ground, and it han-dled both surfaces well during the test drive.The potholes and ridges of Main Road Diep Riv-
er seemed non-existent and the bumpy, undulat-ing terrain of a field in RoscommonRoadwere alsono match.Standing at 10cm shy of 1,7m tall and just over
4m long, it is relatively small for a 4x4.But in this case, that smaller stature could be
viewed as a positive factor when taking into ac-count the ever-increasing cost of fuel and the ver-satility of the vehicle.The Off-Road was released in 2010 as a suped-
up and toughened-up version of the regular Teriosand has several improvements on the standardcar, including a free-flow exhaust, side-step, bull-bar and fog lamps.
It also offers increased power, with the kilowattoutput upped to 90 from the 77 of the standardmodel. Dynamite, in this case, comes in a smallpackage. Despite the increased power and weightadded to the car by the extras, the fuel economyhas not suffered too badly and the1.5l engine con-sumes around 8l of petrol per 100km, only 0,6lmore than the standard vehicle.The car has all the bells and whistles and
comes standard with a DVD player, GPS, aircon,power steering, roof racks, alarm, electric win-dows, electric mirrors, height-adjustable lenses inthe head lights, Bluetooth connectivity and sever-al other features.Another added benefit to the car is that it is
manufactured by Toyota and comes with the sameengine as an Avanza VVT.The Terios can climb a curb just as well as it
climbs an incline and still fit into the tighter park-ing spaces, making it useful for anyone whospends time in both the city and country.Although the R284 995 price tag could scare
off potential buyers, the features mean that itcould be value for money to anyone with an activelifestyle.

Mounting pressure for cardealers in the coming yearTHE relatively good times of 2012 for thelocal automotive industry are unlikely tocontinue in 2013, according to TransUnionAuto Information Solutions.Major dealer groups have seen financial
results improve, with new vehicle sales upby 10% compared to 2011, continuing costcontrol and a decline in debt.Carel Martin, spokesman for TransUn-
ion, said: “But all is not rosy as dealer con-fidence levels are decreasing when com-pared to those seen over the past 18months.”“There is good reason for this, as con-
sumer debt continues to grow and reportsindicate that households are experiencingfurther strain.”Other factors which could pressure the
industry included rising fuel prices, tollfees for Gauteng drivers, and stabilisingvehicle sales volumes. Continued supportprogrammes frommanufacturers, coupledwith low interest rates, could potentially
boost consumer credit demand. Low priceincreases for 2012, which contributed togrowth, were unlikely to be sustained in2013 as the Rand weakens and inputcosts increase.Martin predicted continuing pressure for
used car dealers, who were selling usedvehicles below the recommended retailprice in an attempt to counter price dis-counts and incentives offered by the newvehicle market.Gross margins in the used vehicle mar-
ket appeared to have stabilised after theaverage percentage gap between tradeand retail values reached its lowest levelin the past four years.Martin said: “Given the current market
conditions, based on positive trends, con-stant supply and relative price stabilityseen in 2012, we can expect 2013 to deliv-er some growth, although it should be lessthan what we’ve seen in the past twoyears.” – Wheels24.

FEAR, fun, excitement and a rush of adrenaline awaitsanyone taking on the Land Rover 4x4 Experience.
The course, at Simonsig Wine Estate, is a thrill that willtest both your sense of adventure and endurance.
More advanced courses are offered – like intermediate, ad-vanced and sand driving courses – but for rookies like myselfand People’s Post advertising manager Belita Randall the in-troductory course was the way to go.
The team at Land Rover Experience do not sell vehicles;they simply offer 4x4 enthusiasts and owners the opportuni-ty to learn to use their vehicle to its full potential.
Wynand Bohnen, our instructor at the Land Rover Experi-ence, says: “Knowing the capability of your vehicle is impor-tant. Land Rover has found that when you understand howyour vehicle works you are already 50% there with regardsto 4x4 driving.”
Knowing your vehicle’s capability and function will helpyou know which function to apply in any situation or ter-rain, he adds. Whether it be mountain terrain, snow, sandor ruts you will be trained to apply the necessary functionso that your vehicle can function at optimum level.
“It was a hugely exciting experience,” says Randall, her-self a 4x4 owner, as it “forces you to trust the vehicle thatyou are in. It was scary, going up these huge inclines andnot knowing what’s on the other side and from your vantagepoint all you see in front of you are blue skies.”.
Wilma van Wyk, events coordinator, sales and marketingrepresentative at Land Rover Experience, says: “Driving 4x4off-road becomes a lifestyle since it challenges you to go be-yond your comfort zone and increases your self-confidence.”
WIN! Register on People’s Post’s website (www.peoples-post.co.za) and you could win a 4x4 experience. The prizeis valued at R1 600.

FORD’S Figo gets a rocking new look in line with the automak er’s“kinetic design” language and a number of extra interior features,including the addition of Bluetooth to cer tain models, all without aprice hike.
The Figo, based on the previous-generation Fiesta, is available withtwo engines: the 1.4-litre Duratec petrol (62kW/127Nm) and turbodieselDuratorq (51kW/160Nm). Both are fitted with five-speed manual trans-missions.There are two trim levels – Ambiente base and Trend high-spec models
– with both incorporating the new design elements.The Figo’s lower grille has been revised while the upper section adds
chrome detailing. Head and tail lamp clusters are new, too, while foglamp housings are more aggressive. There are fresh wheel designs.The Ambiente’s cabin adds a new pattern for the seat fabric and a
Dynamic Blue centre stack bezel.The Trend’s enhancements include new seat upholstery and the addi-
tion of Bluetooth to supplement the Figo’s in-car entertainment systemincorporating radio, CD, MP3 and iPod functions.The system also allows for the connection of cellphones via the car’s
audio system and contacts and call history can be managed throughthe vehicle display.The Figo might be an entry-level model, but its safety features are
top notch, incorporating dual front airbags, anti-locking brakes and elec-tronic brakeforce distribution.Gavin Golightly, Ford SA marketing manager, said: “The Figo’s contem-
porary design, solid performance credentials and desirable safety fea-tures are refreshing for a vehicle in its class.“It is well-positioned as a value-for-money prospect and with the addi-
tion of some new enhancements its overall appeal is further cemented.”The Figo comes with a four-year or 120 000kmwarranty and a five-year
corrosion warranty. Service intervals are 20 000km for petrol derivativesand 15 000km for diesel.Prices:1.4 Ambiente – R118 670; 1.4 TDCi Ambiente – R132 620;

THE adage “looks can be deceiving” applies perfectly to theDaihatsu Terios Off-Road.
While the compact, short-wheel-base off-roader is no ugly step-sis-ter in the aesthetic department, at first glance few would expect itto match the capabilities of the larger and more costly 4x4s on themarket. Surprisingly, it does just that and in many ways surpassesthe competition.The Terios Off-Road is as comfortable on smooth tar as it is on
uneven ground, and it handled both surfaceswell during the test drive.The potholes and ridges ofMain RoadDiep River seemed non-exist-
ent and the bumpy, undulating terrain of a field in Roscommon Roadwere also no match.Standing at 10cm shy of 1,7m tall and just over 4m long, it is rela-
tively small for a 4x4.But in this case, that smaller stature could be viewed as a positive
factor when taking into account the ever-increasing cost of fuel andthe versatility of the vehicle.The Off-Road was released in 2010 as a suped-up and toughened-
up version of the regular Terios and has several improvements onthe standard car, including a free-flow exhaust, side-step, bull-bar andfog lamps.It also offers increased power, with the kilowatt output upped to
90 from the 77 of the standard model. Dynamite, in this case, comesin a small package.Despite the increased power and weight added to the car by the
extras, the fuel economy has not suffered too badly and the 1.5l en-gine consumes around 8l of petrol per 100km, only 0,6l more thanthe standard vehicle.The car has all the bells and whistles and comes standard with
a DVD player, GPS, aircon, power steering, roof racks, alarm, electricwindows, electric mirrors, height-adjustable lenses in the head lights,Bluetooth connectivity and several other features.Another added benefit to the car is that it is manufactured by Toyota
and comes with the same engine as an Avanza VVT.The Terios can climb a curb just as well as it climbs an incline and
still fit into the tighter parking spaces, making it useful for anyonewho spends time in both the city and country.Although the R284 995 price tag could scare off potential buyers,
the features mean that it could be value for money to anyone withan active lifestyle.
