Assurance With Peace Of Mind

As we all learn at one time or another, life insurance is actually a completely logical choice. Without life cover our loved ones can be left to bear a financial burden which of course none of us would want. Of course we all want the best for our families and want to keep everything as
simple and easy as possible for them.

Now is the time to put such a desicion into action.  For very little expense up front, you can get covered for a large sum which would make all the difference in a time of need.

Cheap Car Insurance


Every year thousands of South Africans take out car insurance, investing in future financial protection against potential expenditure that comes with the many risks involved in owning and driving a car.

However while many of us pay our monthly premiums and make sure that we adhere to the rules set out by our insurance providers in order to ensure full coverage, we often forget the details of our policies and can easily get confused as to what can be claimed.

After your claim has been submitted, you'll be contacted by your insurance provider who will go through your claim with you.

If you keep up to date with your payments and make sure that play by the rules set out by your provider, Prime Meridians cheap car insurance will prove to be a huge financial investment for the future.

Diesel Engine Trouble

I've been driving a diesel for many years now. The cash I save on fuel more than makes up for
any of the down sides in my opinion. Although lately I started noticing something which perturbed me
somewhat. For some unknown reason whenever I would change gears a cloud of black smoke would form
behind my car! How something like this would happen is beyond me, so I took to the internet to try and
get to the bottom of it. Luckily I stumbled across www.carmag.co.za on which I found this smokey-toyota-rav4-diesel article. It really put my mind at ease as a Toyota Rav4 is a reliable car. I have now taken it in for
the service it needs and can't wait to have my car back in good nick!

Keep yourself covered

I have learned through bitter experience the importance of being prepared for any eventuality. Probably
the one thing that has held me back the most financially in my life so far, was being admitted to hospital
without having a hospital plan in place. Before that even took place I didn't pay much attention
anyone who told me about life insurance, investment or even car insurance. But I can tell you one thing,
these days I do, and I can rest easier for it. My advice these days, to my family, friends and those
closest to me is, keep yourself covered one day you will happier for it.

Hyundai i20 1,4 GL


I like shopping around for cars and I'm always looking for the next best thing to buy. Although I'm
not looking in the top end of the market, I'm still concerned with getting the most I can for my money. At the moment I drive a Ford Fiesta, it's safe reliable and meets my needs, however after reading about the Hyundai i20 1,4 GL I'm beginning to reconsider. a six speed manual gearbox, revised nose,  rear park assist and steering wheel controls are just a few of the adaptions as compared to the last model and I've got to say, I'm loving it! I'm just glad I found Carmag's website. Just nice to find one site with all the details you need all in one place.

New Renault Clio


The new Renault Clio is finally out! Checked it out at carmag.co.za and I couldn't be more excited as I've been waiting to see this on the market for some time now.

 It's right within my price range and I have to say I'm loving the look and specifications of this baby so far. Now that I've seen the turbocharged 900 cc three-cylinder petrol engine and just the general look and feel I'm really impressed with what the Renault team has done with this. 

Even comparing to the Renault Fluence 1,6 Authentique, Grand Scénic 1,6 dCi Dynamique, Renault Koleos 2,5 Dynamique 4x4 CVT and the Renault Logan 1,6 Expression I'm still buying this, as soon as it hits SA shores!

Adventure Motoring Magazine

After some time of thinking about it I’ve finally decided to take the plunge and buy myself a much deserved 4x4. Basically a nice toy which enables me to get onto the dirt roads outside of the bustling city and enjoy my time off to the maximum! After much searching online and struggling to find decent reviews, compared with specs and prices, I finally stumbled upon leisurewheels.co.za.

Their site offers all the 4x4 prices & specs for 4x4 vehicles in South Africa. There are many SUVs to choose from and you are able view all their specifications.  They are basically an adventure motoring magazine for the 4x4 enthusiast in South Africa, down to accessories or whatever you’re looking for.

I was stuck between the Time Warp: Land Rover Defender 110, V9X Nissan Navara and the Toyota Prado D-4D, but after careful comparison finally ended up choosing the Land Rover and I have to say I couldn’t be happier!
