They aren\u2019t cars you\u2019d expect the fairer sex to be driving, and frankly, the dads would love these cars too.<\/p>\n<p>Mom-cars, mammy-vans; loathed words. I have always loved fast cars, and I\u2019ve loved driving them just as quickly. But motherhood really makes you pump the brakes on life in more ways than one, at least for a little while.<\/p>\n<p>When I was pregnant with my daughter a few years ago, my mindset shifted, being responsible for another life, so we drive much slower \u2013 which actually works in my favour when testing an electric vehicle or hybrid car that thrives on economical driving to extend the range.<\/p>\n<p>And with ever-climbing fuel prices, who wouldn\u2019t love some extra mileage added to their distance-to-empty clock on the cluster. However, as my sprog has become older, so has her interest in cars, and, naturally, a more profound love on my side for great vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the thing, though: I loathe those \u201ccars for women\u201d articles because, honestly, whoever decided we like mundane cars to begin with? While a safer driver, I still find sporty and fast cars aspiring.<\/p>\n<p>My dream cars change occasionally \u2013 and I also have them in segments in my fantasy garage. Even if my dream car list features some electric vehicles, they are quick.<\/p>\n<p>The acceleration and instantaneous power on tap in an EV are thrilling in its own right and could beat most internal combustion engine vehicles off the line at any time.<\/p>\n<p>Here are just six vehicles launched or driven this year that I would want in my garage this Christmas. They aren\u2019t cars you\u2019d expect the fairer sex to be driving, and frankly, the dads would love these cars, too.<\/p>\n<p>Not only are they incredibly good looking, but their power figures are impressive \u2013 not to mention fuel consumption, okay, bar one or two. 1 Audi RS 6 Avant performance Powered by a potent 4.0-litre V8 biturbo TFSI engine, the RS 6 Avant performance model mow punches out 463kW and 850Nm.<\/p>\n<p>An increase in the turbo boost pressure from 2.4 to 2.6 bar means 22kW and 50Nm more than you\u2019d find in the non-performance variants \u2013 although even those figures are delightful.<\/p>\n<p>While you might not need this kind of sprint time on the school run, this car can take you from zero to 100km\/h in just 3.4 seconds. Inside the car, the RS Package colour usually comes in grey or red, but now you can also opt for Mercato blue.<\/p>\n<p>The styling is assertive, and even though it\u2019s a wagon, its driving dynamics and performance could rip up the Autobahn. But its power figures are not the only things I like about this vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>2 Isuzu D-Max AT35 Let\u2019s be honest here. Isuzu\u2019s D-Max Artic Truck 35 is not meant for the road. Those mega 35-inch tyres are just not made for highway driving.<\/p>\n<p>So why is it on this list? Because it\u2019s freaking colossal, or at least those tyres and fat wheel archers make it feel that way. Even trying to get into the bakkie is like climbing onboard a monster truck.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s terrible on the long road, absolutely awful, and don\u2019t even try to overtake. But it\u2019s pretty fine to drive on the school run, and it has all the kids gawking at this cool truck while you\u2019re prodding along.<\/p>\n<p>I love how high you\u2019re seated behind the wheel, also thanks to the 35\u2032\u2032 BF Goodrich all-terrain rubbers wrapped around 17\u00d710-inch AT black alloy wheels.<\/p>\n<p>Most of all, not a single taxi driver dared to challenge the bakkie\u2019s presence on the road, and if anything, they were giving me the right of way even when it wasn\u2019t needed.<\/p>\n<p>This bakkie is made for playing; it\u2019s just a toy for plenty of big grins on the beaten track. The second-generation AT35 3.0TD 4\u00d74 is priced from R1 120 620.<\/p>\n<p>It might look as fierce as Beyonce\u2019s alter ego on stage, but its bark is worse than its bite. 3 Lexus LX Launched earlier this year, the fourth-generation LX is probably the car on this list that\u2019s not the most fuel-efficient.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s colossal and just looks \u201cgangster\u201d. And despite its mammoth size, it\u2019s still 200kg lighter than its predecessor. By now, you might have noticed I love cars with loads of space and in the boot, too.<\/p>\n<p>It comes with loads of comfort treats, niceties, and a mammoth boot. The LX is a vehicle that has genuinely tickled my fancy this year. Not just because of its sheer size but also because of the ridiculous level of luxury and comfort.<\/p>\n<p>And who wouldn\u2019t love 1 100 litres of boot space? There\u2019s even more than enough room to bring our dog along. 4 BMW M2 An M car? For a mom? I know you\u2019re sitting up straight now.<\/p>\n<p>You see, I am a mother of one child, so a two-door car is perfectly fine on the school run, and then having to commute 60km to town before your first meeting.<\/p>\n<p>No, it doesn\u2019t mean I will break any speed limits, but it will get me there faster than an electric vehicle or a large SUV I would rather want to drive fugally.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, those M sport seats with integrated head restraints in bucket seat style aren\u2019t made for easy ingress and egress when you have to do drop-and-go\u2019s and jump out for a \u201cHave a nice day\u201d hug on the school run.<\/p>\n<p>There are five body colours to choose from, but the one to have is in M Zandvoort Blue paint. There are also three trims or styles to choose from: Essence, Balance, and Signature \u2013 with the latter being the priciest of the bunch at R1 603 975.<\/p>\n<p>The Signature model also comes standard with an M Racetrack package, an M Carbon roof and an M Driver\u2019s Package, which increases the speed. 5 Mini John Cooper Works Clubman<\/p>\n<p>Minis are still as popular as when they were launched decades ago, in 1959, and sold as the Austin Seven and Morris Mini-Minor. But I was never a big fan.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re great little cars, don\u2019t get me wrong, but it was never my cup of tea. The JCW versions, though, have always been extra special. But Mini\u2019s John Cooper Works Clubman model changes everything and ticks many more boxes for me \u2013 especially with the double doors at the rear.<\/p>\n<p>Gosh, it\u2019s fun to drive with its 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine kicking out 225kW and 450Nm. Mini says this larger pocket rocket goes from zero to 100km\/h in just 4.9 seconds and has a claimed top speed of 250km\/h.<\/p>\n<p>Mini also reckons its fuel consumption reading is 7.7-litres\/100km, which is achievable if you\u2019re driving conservatively. But this is one car I didn\u2019t want to stop driving, and its dynamics are so easy and delectable that it provokes you to keep your foot in the right corner, looking for the longer way home.<\/p>\n<p>Priced from R862 144, it\u2019s not cheap, but it sure is a big bucket of fun. 6 Hyundai Tucson N-Line Like most of us, I could hardly afford any of these cars in real life, and even the Tucson N-Line, being the most affordable on this list, comes in at R815 900.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s also the most realistic car I would go for. The Korean brands consistently win over hearts here in South Africa, and the proof is evident in the monthly sales figures.<\/p>\n<p>People love Kia and Hyundai cars around here and with good reason. Not only are Hyundai\u2019s cars becoming better looking with each product, but those great engines and reliability factors are winning for them.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s even more surprising is just how terrific that 2.0-litre diesel engine is in the N-Line all-wheel drive model. It is mated to an 8-speed auto transmission and has so much grunt.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s incredibly great to drive with 137kW and 416Nm between 2 000 and 2 750rpm. Hyundai reckons its top speed is rated at 206km\/h. But my favourite thing is its fuel consumption, and the Korean brands always hand out close-to real-world claims, which are often attainable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mauritius\">Mauritius<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
