Chevy Spark Campus & Opel Astra Hatchback wins Car Magazine Award

The March issue of CAR mag once again contains our Top 12 awards. Eagerly anticipated by the public and hugely respected by the motoring industry, the CAR editorial team lists its top cars (and runners up) in what we see as the key 12 motoring segments in the new vehicle market.

As always, the CAR team spent many hours discussing and debating what the winners should be and the result is a 16-page feature that you simply have to read if you’re thinking of buying a car.

Or even if you’re not… it’s still worth finding out what SA’s most respected magazine thinks are the best cars in the country.

Car Magazine Spark 1.2 Campus Test Summary:

“There’s something innately appealing about a cheap, no-frills, no-nonsense car such as the Spark Campus, especially when you factor in the crucial safety equipment, spacious interior and engaging drive that it serves up…In terms of value for money and overall packaging, there’s little to touch it in this segment.”

Car Magazine Opel Astra Test Summary:

It is with no doubt that the Opel Astra is very competitive and has the most innovative technology featuring a world class Turbo Engine which provides the perfect balance between performance and efficiency. This award confirms that the Opel Astra merits more than what it is currently getting.

This vehicle rewards with an exciting and engaging driving experience and is packed with innovation and specification that one has come to expect in an Opel. In fact, it is superior to competitor products in almost every way. Without compromise it represents a real value offering to potential customers by offering these features as standard which comes optional to most of our competitors.
