Rolling down your windows uses more fuel in some cases than turning the aircon on
You might remember as a kid trying to turn AC on in your parents’ car and getting the scolding of your life. “Do you have a secret stash of fuel somewhere that we don’t know about,” came the rebuke. It was ingrained in our minds from an early age, you don’t use AC, you roll […]
Toyota Zimbabwe was flexing the GD6 Fortuner at ZITF 2022
We couldn’t leave the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair ZITF 2022, without paying a visit to what is probably one of the most famous car brands in Zimbabwe, Toyota.

Hybrid cars are a scam
The car industry is a very very interesting place. I don’t think many industries get as much regulation as this and sometimes this regulation brings some really cool innovations to the mix. Sometimes it brings absolute gimmicks that do nothing for the consumer’s driving experience. Sometimes they make the experience even worse. Like soft limiters. […]

I know dealerships are not the most exciting places to walk into for the average Zimbo. A car sales garage is a lot more palatable and a lot less serious. However I was brave enough to walk into one last week. Mostly because I saw a snazzy looking Toyota I had not seen before.
