X-Class, car sales by province

"Expensive but capable. Could the X220d cut it as a farm bakkie?" asks Lance Branquinho as he rates the new Mercedes-Benz X-Class.

Stats show that Gauteng remains the province where the most vehicles are sold (11 293 units), while 4324 and 3753 vehicles were sold in KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape respectively. We list car sales by province.

Late for work due to poor weather?

The AA says: "Too often we hear stories of employees who go to great lengths, sometimes risking their own and other road users’ safety, to get to work exactly on time. Employers need to understand that bad weather has an impact on traffic and that this will compromise their employees’ ability to move around normally."
