Re: Why I drive a Citi Golf
Those are very popular cars for a reason. But unfortunately AFAIK it is the car with the highest hi-jack figures

Re: Why I drive a Citi Golf
Good cars, but do you want to drive that or your 4x4 (if you can afford the petrol).
I have always been worried about petrol prices etc., but in SA I would rather spend the few extra bucks and enjoy what I drive to the fullest.
In our country ANY trip might be your last.........

If you are a diesel fan, raise your hand.
If you aren't raising your hand, raise your standards!
A 4x4 is merely a machine that enables you to get stuck further away from civilization.

City golfs was vir VW soos die ou Nissan1200/1400 bakkies vir Nissan was.

Re: Why I drive a Citi Golf
I have to agree on both the major points:
Very good fuel consumption and high risk of theft - so much so that some insurance companies will not insure it!

Re: Why I drive a Citi Golf
If I want fuel economy I will buy a scooter.
But fortunately I am an off-roader in flesh and blood and don't mind to burn some oil, and pay the bill.

Re: Why I drive a Citi Golf
Ek het altwee, altwee is wit en altwee is vrek swaar op petrol, die ouer Citi's met gewone vergasser is nie so ekonomies soos die inspuiting ouens nie, maar jy kan op 'n sondag agtermidag die masjien uithaal doen wat moet gedoen word en maandag oggend weer werk toe ry met hom. Oja en die Hilux breek nie so ek kan maar tyd aan die golf spandeer.
