If you previously graduated to enjoy a German vehicle and can’t seem to stand anything else but really needed a practical car for the farm, your prayers have finally been answered... by Volkswagen.

Yes indeed, the VW will definitely debut at number one! Navara is good, but the Dmax has a better engine, so the three - only those three are really worth every penny.

I had a Ford Ranger for a week or so and it was great too. The Mitsubishi I haven't really experienced, but am told it is also very good, maybe if I was to drive one I'd place it in category one, but for now that's my 2 cents. The toyota is still overrated and this is clear from the fact that it may no longer be the top selling pickup since DMax sales exceeded toy sales a couple of years back.

Yeah! saw one of those on the road and was like "VW have outdone themselves this time".

i need a test drive

Yani Proboxes have started driving cars??? and german models at that????

My Experience
Navara 2.5DCi ... 32- 34mpg (13.5-14.5 km/l) average (on 2wd). unless the computer is faking this.
Its better than a 1.8(petrol) C-class and even much better than a 1.8 E-class.

That Truck is awesome! How about it's performance? Wonder if it's tough enough for Kenyan type of jobs. btw, I can't find it on CMC website ama niulize muthoka zilienda wapi?
