Honda is usually anything but entry-level, but in an attempt to introduce the Honda motoring experience to a wider audience, the brilliant little Brio was developed and launched in South Africa in 2012. According to Honda (back then), “the Brio’s combination of styling, affordability, quality and motoring fun will offer young first-time buyers an attractive budget motoring option.” And it does!
5) TOYOTA ETIOS
Forget about pretty or frivolous: the Toyota Etios is all about value and durability. With bulletproof mechanical bits and easy serviceability, there's a lot of clever engineering that's gone into giving the Etios a long, drama-free, and safe service life.
6) VOLKSWAGEN UP
One of the safest small cars on our roads, the Up has 6 airbags. The Volkswagen Up is more sophisticated than its size and looks suggest. It's comfortable, feels stable on the road, and is enjoyable to drive. Upmarket Volkswagen style on a tiny budget.
7) VOLKSWAGEN POLO VIVO
The Polo Vivo handles bumps and ruts much better, giving it a very comfortable ride, making it more appealing to urban living. With the ride and handling on the Vivo being this good it makes it the top of its class and quite untouchable. If you're concerned about re-sale value, you can't really go wrong with a Polo Vivo. These cars are always in demand and running costs are low.
8) FORD FIGO
The Figo is a practical, fuel-efficient little runabout and is a sought-after used car, especially by motoring experts. The hatchback feels like a big car with plenty of space for occupants and storage and has excellent ride and handling characteristics.
9) SUZUKI SWIFT
We loved the older Swift for its fun-to-drive demeanor. Some great deals are available on used models! A good family car with a good turn of speed. A bit different from the average hatchback. It's a bit of a hard ride due to its sporty nature.
10) HONDA JAZZ
The Honda Jazz represents everything that Honda stands for: Excellent build quality, an engine that will stand the test of time, a practical and spacious interior.
