EVERYDAY TRANSPORT: IT COMES IN UNDER THE R300 000 MAGIC MARK
- Mark Jones
Hyundai Exter has edge
  • It is not a Porsche or a Ferrari, but it does exactly what you would expect it to do.

We are a country of extreme first-world excess and dire third-world poverty, with a mishmash of a working class somewhere in the middle trying to grind out another day of economic survival.

And for a person who only has R300,000 to spend on a new car, like Hyundai's new Exter, this car for them is the same as another's new Porsche or Ferrari, or Merc, or BMW, or whatever. I know I am being a bit dramatic, or ridiculous, depending on which end of the financial scale you find yourself, but I think you get what I am trying to say.

And this is one of the biggest reasons that the likes of Suzuki are challenging hard to take second spot off a stalwart of the South African motoring landscape, Volkswagen.
