Graff-wynlandgoed het Dinsdag-
aand op pad werk toe gesterf en drie
ander werknemers het ernstige be-
serings in n ongeluk op die Hels-
hoogtepas opgedoen.
Volgens supt. Lizelle Stroebel van
die Stellenbosch verkeersdeparte-
ment se botsingsburo, het die onge-
luk kort voor 18:00 gebeur toe n rooi
Ford gestop het om regs te draai na
die landgoed.
n Ford Ranger-bakkie wat in die
rigting van Kylemore gery het, het
die voertuig van agter getref. Een
van die passasiers, wat links agter
gesit het, is op die toneel dood.
Volgens Johann Laubser, uitvoe-
rendehoofvanDelaireGraff, ishulle
baie ontsteld oor die voorval. Die
vier mans was almal aangestel in
ons private sekuriteitsafdeling.

stand in die Tygerberg-hospitaal op-
geneem. Die ander twee, Jacob

albei in die Tygerberg-hospitaal op-
geneem.Maarman is reeds ontslaan

KANKER:OORWINNERGESELS
Praatbringbevrydingengenesing
SAMANTHA VAN DEN BERG
M
oenie jouself bejammer nie.
Praat daaroor (die kanker)
dit bring bevryding en gene-
sing.
SgeselsNellieSnyman(57), nborskanker-
oorwinnaar van Cloetesville, oor die siekte
wat in 2010 by haar gediagnoseer is.
Eikestadnuus het vandeesweek met Nellie
oor kanker gesels as deel van n reeks artikels
in aanloop tot die Cansa Relay For Life Stel-
lenbosch aan die einde van die maand.
Nellie het op 11 Oktober 2010 vir n roetine-
ondersoek gegaan toe die dokter n knop in
haar bors gekry het. Sy is na n spesialis ver-
wys waarna symet borskanker gediagnoseer
is. Sy moes n reeks chemo-behandelings en
bestraling ontvang.
My eerste reaksie was skok en ongeloof,
omdat ek dit glad nie verwag het nie. Daarna
was ek positief. Die Here gee vir niemand n
probleemvrye lewe nie.
VolgensNelliehethaar tweeseunsdienuus
baie moeilik verwerk. Hulle het gedink ek
gaandoodgaanenekmoeshulledeurnproses
help om dit te verwerk.
Een van die spesiaalste oomblikke gedu-
rendemysiektewasdiedagtoeekenmyseuns
saam ons hare afgeskeer het. Dit was hulle
manier om tewys dat as een vandie familiele-
de ly, almal saam ly.
Sy voeg by dat haar bleskop ook vele hu-
moristiese oomblikke opgelewer het. My
kleinkind het my altyd geterg as ek haar oor
ietsberispehet.Myvriendehetmyaangemoe-
dig om groot oorbelle te dra dit het hulle glo
aan nbekendesangeres laatdink.Ekhet selfs
uitdagings aanvaar om my pruik onverwags
by geleenthede af te haal. Die aanvanklike
skok en ongeloof het vinnig vir n gelag plek
gemaak.
As n kanker-oorwinnaar wil sy nou ander
bemoedig en oor kanker leer. Ek het nooit
die dood opmy drumpel gesien nie, maar eer-
der n geleentheid om ander oor kanker te
leer.Kankerhetmygeestelik laat groei enmy
geleerhoeomanderkankerlyers tebemoedig.
Kanker hoef nie die einde te wees nie.
Nellie het in 2009 by die Kankervereniging
van Suid-Afrika (Kansa) as vrywilliger be-
trokke geraak. Sy neem nou jaarliks aan ge-
leenthede soos die Relay en Shavathon-veld-
togte deel.
) Die Cansa Relay For Life Stellenbosch
word deurnag van 29 tot 30 September op die
Idasvallei-sportgronde aangebied. Toegang
vir stappers is R60 per persoon en word vir
Kansa geskenk.
Spanne moet teen 26 September registreer
en betaal. Almal is welkom om deel te neem.

Oom Eikestadnuus verlaat Stellenbosch
SAMANTHA VAN DEN BERG
Daar gaannie nweek verby dat Stel-
lenbossers nie vir die geliefde Oom
Fanie Goosen (78) in die Eikestad se
strate gewaar nie.
Koerant onder die arm, netjies ge-
klee in n baadjie, loop hy die strate
plat en groet elke vriendelike gesig
wat hy tekom.
OomFanieverruil egterbinnekort
sy hartsplek vir die Strand, waar hy
nou Huis Esperanza sy nuwe tuiste
sal noem.
Hy woon sedert sy geboortedag op
Stellenbosch.
Ons is sodankbaarvirdiegoedge-
sindheid van die mense van Stellen-
bosch. Almal ken hom en het soveel
empatiemethom.Ons sal hombeslis
terugbring om te kom kuier, s sy
broer Johan.
Eikestadnuus het verlede Vrydag
byOomFanie byMolenhof gaan kui-
er.Ditwas sy tuiste sedert 21Februa-
rie 1994.
Volgens Oom Fanie is Eikestad-
nuus sy gunsteling koerant. Hy loop
weekliks self na die Eikestadnuus se
kantoor in Alexanderstraat om dit
persoonlik op te tel. Die personeel
hier het hom selfs later Oom Eike-
stadnuus gedoop.
Sy grootse bekommernis nou is eg-
ter oor hoe hy syEikestadnuus in die
Strand gaan kry, s hy.
Vir Stellenbosch gaanhy baiemis.
Ek het baie lekker hier gebly en
baiemense sien kom en gaan. Ek het
almal geken.
Oom Fanie het vir jare lank by die
destydse De Wets Algemene Hande-
laar gewerk. Hy was ook by die Stel-
lenbosch-Wes-gemeente se kategese-
klasse betrokke.
Hy het destyds die rugbyspelers se
klere tydens hul oefening byVan der
Stel opgepas en selfs na die tennis-
klub se gronde omgesien.
Kinders is egter sy grootste liefde
envir jarehetOomFanie dit ophom-
self geneem om Stellenbosse skool-
leerlinge tehelpomdiepadveiligoor
te steek.
Hy het met die skoolpatrollie by
Laerskool Eikestad en Rhenish uit-
gehelp en kinders ook gehelp om die
pad by gevaarlike verkeersligte oor
te steek.
Ek is baie lief vir kinders enhulle
vir my, s hy met n groot glimlag.
VolgensJohanhet syFanieooknie
geskroom om verkeersoortreders
reg te help nie.
As iemand op n geelstreep gepar-
keer het, het hy sommer reguit na
hulle toe geloop en vir hulle geswat
hulle verkeerd doen. Hy kan dit nie
vat as iemand die verkeersrels oor-
tree nie.
Totsiens Oom Fanie, Stellenbosch
gaan jou baie mis!
Oom Fanie Goosen en sy broer, Johan, by Molenhof. Oom Fanie is n jarelange getroue Eikestadnuusleser.

COSTA-SAAK:VONNISOPLEGGING
Driemanskry lewenslank
ELB VAN HEERDEN
D
IE drie mans wat te-
reggestaan het op die
moordopAlbertoCos-
ta (44) en verlede week skul-
dig bevind is, is gister almal
tot lewenslange gevangenis-
straf gevonnis.
Costa is op 18Februarie 2011
op sy plaas Cloetesdal, digby
Kayamandi, tydens n gewa-
pende rooftog doodgeskiet.
Mfundiso Yese (25), Simam-
kele Mralaza (29) en Cedric
Mphakati (27)het tereggestaan
op aanklagte van moord, po-
ging tot huisbraak en die on-
wettige besit van n vuurwa-
pen en ammunisie. Al drie het onskuldig
gepleit.
n Vierde verdagte, Vicicelo Madolo,
(27), is inJunievanjaarn npleit- en-von-
nisooreenkoms tot 20 jaar tronkstraf ge-
vonnis en het vir die staat getuig.
Die drie verdagtes se verdediging kon
Dinsdag versagtende omstandighede le-
wer voor die uitslag Donderdag.
Yese se suster het in sy guns getuig en
verduidelik dat hy nie net sy eie kind nie,
maar ook sy oorlede broer se kinders en
sy ouers en jonger broers en suster onder-
hou het.
Adv. Maria Marshall vir die staat, het
egter gevra of dit regverdig is om hom lig-
ter te straf omdat hy sy familie onderhou
terwyl hy skuldig bevind is aandiemoord
op Costa.
Hyhet n eggenote enmnr. Costa se eie

Join in the funonHeritageDay
HERITAGE Day will be celebrated with a public holiday onMon-
day. Some confusion reigns about the meaning of this day, espe-
cially since it has also become known as Braaidag during the
last few years!
The purpose ofHeritageDay is to encourage all SouthAfricans
to celebrate their wonderful cultural heritage and diversity.
We all agree that the citizens of this most southern country of
Africa have very diverse cultures, and that braaivleis is probably
the one thing that we all have in common!
Stellenbosch folkwill get theopportunityover the longweekend
for a braai, and will also get to celebrate their heritage at the first
Heritage Festival, which will be held on the banks of the Eerste
River.Thewiderangeofactivitiesonofferincludesportandmusic
representative of all the cultures of Greater Stellenbosch as
well as a church service in Pniel on Sunday and a mass choir
of 700 local pupils in the Kruiskerk on Monday.
The Kayamandi Art and Culture Festival, which starts today,
also forms part of the Heritage Festival.
Every resident of Greater Stellenboch is therefore invited to
go and share his or her heritage during the coming days, and to
celebrate it with others. Please find the full programme of festival
activities on page 6 of Eikestadnuus.
Sundaywill also herald another importantmilestone in the his-
tory of Stellenbosch: the 90th memorial service of the Volkskerk
of Africa, which will be held at 15:00 in Idas Valley.
The Volkskerk is a church with a rich history and tradition,
and one that has played an important role, not only in Stellen-
bosch, but also in the rest of the country.
DiebriewevanEenvanegtegesin
(7 Sept) en Een vir praktiese oplos-
sings (14 Sept) oor gesinne wat lo-
seerders inneem, vestig die aandag
op nsaakwat ngrootaantalhuisei-
enaars inStellenboschraak.Moont-
lik soveel as helfte van gesinne in
hier het een of twee loseerders.
Al sulke eienaars sal onder die
konsep gentegreerde soneringske-
ma aansoek by die munisipaliteit
moet doen omas n losies-onderne-
ming geregistreer te word. Al be-
staan die gesin net uit een of twee
persone, en neem hulle net een lo-
seerder in, moet hulle nog steeds
amptelik aansoek doen.
Dit is heeltemal onduidelik hoe-
kom die munisipaliteit hierdie be-
paling nodig ag. Dit skep onnodige
en oormatige beheer oor n situasie
wat baie algemeen voorkom enmin
probleme veroorsaak.
Die werklike probleme met lo-
seerders is waar die eienaar elders
woon en n groot aantal loseerders
sonder toesig in n huis bly. Sulke
loseerders kan soms raserig raak.
Dt is die situasie wat beheer moet
word.
Die gebruik vir n gesin om n lo-
seerder of twee in te neem bestaan
al vir honderde jare. So word n
groot diens aan die gemeenskap ge-
lewer veral aan die universiteit,
want baie van die loseerders is stu-
dente. Die getal sodanige loseerders
kan maklik meer as 10 000 beloop.
As diemunisipaliteit praktieswil
wees, en nie onnodige en sinnelose
administrasie wil skep nie, moet
hulle diedefinisie vangesin indie
nuwe soneringskema uitbrei om
ook drie, moontlik selfs vier, loseer-
ders in te sluit. Dit sal net die huidi-
ge realiteit wettig.

Dit is alles goed en wel dat Martin
Smuts n Madiba-gedenkteken op
Stellenbosch wil oprig. Madiba se
versoenendebydrae totSuid-Afrika
kan nie misken word nie.
Ek kan egter nie help om te won-
der nie, waarom is daar nrens op
Stellenbosch soortgelyke erken-
ning aan dr. Anton Rupert nie?
Dr. Rupert se bydrae tot Suid-
Afrika en Stellenbosch was enorm,
maar hy word nrens op die dorp
sigbaar vereer nie. Is dit waar dat
diemunisipaliteit iewers indie ver-
lede n aansoek vir n projekwat dr.

IN the opinion of the Stellenbosch
Interest Group (SIG), certain de-
velopment rights on Botmaskop,
granted in 2006, lapsed in 2008.
Since 8 July 2011 representa-
tions requesting compliancewith
the law have beenmade by a firm
of attorneys on behalf of the SIG.
The SIG was accordingly pleased
to learn that themunicipality has
now called for an external legal
opinion to clarify the position.
The background to this issue is
the following: on 5 October 2006,
the provincial government
granted approval for the develop-
mentofahoteland15resortunits,
eachwith four en-suite rooms, on
portion 2 of the Farm Amoi
number 490, subject to some 50
conditions. This very steep and
highly visible property extends
eastward from an existing resort
known as African Valley to a
point less than a kilometre from
the survey beacon on the summit
of Botmaskop.
Condition 45 of the approval
granted states that the rezoning
shall lapse if it is not exercised for
an uninterrupted period of two
years. By 5 October 2008 no devel-
opment had taken place, the
approval lapsed and the matter
should have ended there.
Rather surprisingly, however,
municipal officials approved
plans for amore ambitious devel-
opmenton thepropertyon22July
2009. After becoming aware of the
situation the SIG made represen-
tations to the premier, the minis-
ter of environmental affairs and
development planning and the
Stellenbosch Municipality.
Apart from a highly visible and
imposing gatehouse, no other de-
velopment on the site has taken
place since 2009.
The proposed development
referred to as StellenboschMoun-
tain Retreat, however, continues
to be advertised on the Internet as
comprising a number of lodges, a
hotel and a business hub. The
intention to develop the latter fa-
cility has, however, never been
advertised.
Making legal representations
about unlawful development is a
costly process. The SIG, accord-
ingly,wishes to commend themu-
nicipality for seeking an external
legalopinion toaddress this issue.

R44 upgrade due
An upgrade of the R44 between
Stellenbosch and Somerset West
is on the cards.
After months of planning and
research the Department of
Transport andPublicWorkswill
be implementing the upgrade of
the R44.
This road is a high speed mo-
bility route which carries signif-
icant volumesof traffic daily and
has shown increased traffic vol-
umes over the last few years.
A study undertaken by con-
sulting engineers Kantey and
Templer has identified the need
to implementarangeof improve-
ments along the route. These in-
clude, amongst others, the clo-
sure of median openings and the
consolidationand/or relocation
of accesses and intersections.
Both the Annandale and Win-
eryRoadintersectionshavebeen
identified for specific and sub-
stantial improvement to grade
separated roundabouts. This
would allow for free flow traffic
interchanges and the ability to
provide for traffic return flow,
for property access purposes.
MinisterofTransportandPub-
licWorks,RobinCarlisle,hasan-
nounced that CCA Environmen-
tal Consultants have been ap-
pointed to undertake an
environment impact assessment
regulatory process for the pro-
posed road improvements.
The R44 between Somerset
West and Stellenbosch is now
one of our busiest provincial
roads. If we do not invest in ma-
jor junction upgrades, it will be-
come one of our most dangerous
roads. The vital industries
served by the road, including
farming and tourism, have
grown tremendously in recent
years, and the safety andmobili-
ty of the road must grow with
them, said Carlisle.
The Bredell Road / R44 Inter-
sectionhasbeen identified foran
immediate intersection safety
improvement.
After engaging with a number
of user groups, the Department
will thencommencewiththisim-
provement.
For safety purposes, this im-
provement will involve closing
the current R44 access into
BredellRoadfrombothSomerset
West and Stellenbosch and pro-
viding for only a left turn-out
from Bredell Road onto the R44.
The result will be a significant
improvement in safety at this in-
tersection which will offset the
slightly longer travel times re-
sulting for trips to Bredell Road
destinations, added Carlisle.
A basic assessment process
will commence shortly, which
will involve substantial public
participation at which all inter-
ested and affected parties will be
invited to be participants.
Further details about the R44
corridor planwill be provided at
the commencement of this proc-
ess.

ELB VAN HEERDEN
STELLENBOSCH architectural firm Slee
and Co was honoured last week for the
architectural design of its gallery in Dorp
Street.
Atotalof26projects throughoutthecountry
were honoured at the 20112012 Corobrik
South African Institute of Architects (SAIA)
Awards of Merit ceremony, held last week as
part of their biennial convention in Cape
Town.SleeandCoreceived theawardofmerit
for its 101 Dorp Gallery and Studio, now
known as the Slee Gallery, the only building
based in Stellenbosch to walk away with this
prestigious honour.
The awards programme takes place over
two years. In the first year awards for
architecture are presented by the various re-
gional institutes affiliated to the SAIA. The
CorobrikSAIA Awards of Merit are be-
stowed in the second year, and thereafter the
awards for excellence are announced.
The awards of merit encourage and recog-
nise good design or a significant contribution
to the field of architecture.
An award for excellence is given only for
an exceptional achievement in the field of ar-
chitecture. Projects that have won an award
of merit are eligible for this award, and will
be announced next year.
Placing a contemporary building in a his-
torical environment is a huge challenge, and
so it is a great honour to receive this national
award, says Johann Slee of Slee and Co.
With an award such as this, the South Afri-
can Institute of Architects recognises the ex-
cellence and success of a building.

ve-door five-seat premium hatchback.
VCSA has had to break away from the
industry tradition of only releasing pri-
cingandfinal line-upat launch.According
to Bram van der Reep, MD of Volvo Car
South Africa, we
couldnt have received a
better indication of just
how popular the Volvo
V40 is going to be.
It is such an exciting
vehicle for us and we are
delighted that the public
seems to be equally eager
for the arrival of the Vol-
vo V40.
After its international
debut in June this year,
theall-newVolvoV40was
immediately heralded by
many as the new bench-
mark in the premium
hatch segment.
In South Africa, Volvos new premium
hatch will be available for test drives at
allVolvodealerships from15October, and
will go on sale from 15 November, but or-
ders can be placed now.
Initially, Volvo will be launching with
the all-new V40 in T3 manual, T4 manual,
D2manual andD3Geartronicderivatives.
The remainder of the local line-up, in-
cluding the spectacular Volvo V40 R-De-
sign, will be available from March.
Prices start at R281 200 for the V40 T3
manualEssential andcontinue toR397 100
for the V40 T5 Geartronic R-Design.
The all-new Volvo V40 is not the only
Swede receiving attention at themoment.
VCSA is currently running various retail
offersonsomeof itsmostpopularvehicles.
They are currently advertising Volvo de-
alswithabiteplayingofftheirrecent,and
very appropriate, television ad showing a
wolfandaVolvoS60growlingateachother
(naturally, the S60 intimidates the wolf).
According to Marketing Director, Mi-
chelleNaud, Volvos current retail cam-
paign - andall our currentmarketingcam-
paigns for thatmatter - perfectly represent
what the Volvo brand is all about.
We are a human-centric, luxury brand
with a sense of humour and our products
just offer us so much opportunity to get
creative.
Its a really exciting time to be a part
of the Volvo brand.
Themost prominent of the offers are on
theVolvoS60 (with aVolvoS60T3Manual
forR3999 permonth) and theVolvoC30D2
Manual Essential for just R3 333 per
month.
Or you can opt for a full R25 000 to help
you set up your perfect XC60 deal.
Playful yes but serious offers nonethe-
less.
Volvo encouragespotential buyers todo
their homework, compare the specs and
take a closer look at the styling of their po-
tential purchases.
And the real question is:
When last did you test drive a Volvo?
And if you havent done so recently, can
you be 100% sure that you aremaking the
right choice?

Road test: Hyundais new i20
FRANS LE ROUX
HYUNDAI is continuing its local
new model onslaught when the Ko-
rean giant recently unveiled its
new i20.
Following the success of not only
the previous i20, but most of their
models, the new car has a lot to live
up to.
The old i20 joined us late 2009 and
was available with a 1,4 and 1.6 litre
engine which produced 74kw/136nm
and 91kw/156nm respectively.
The long list of standard features
and the good interior and boot space
were some of the reasons why buyers
opted for the i20.
Standard features on the new model
include rather beautiful 16-inch
wheels, 6 airbags, rear park assist, 6-
speaker sound system, a 3 year/60 000
km service plan and Hyundais famous
5 year/150 000 km warranty.
The new car continues where the
previous generation left off.
Gone is the 1,6 and Hyundai opted
to keep their 1,4 as the only engine in
the new car.
My test car was the 1.4 Glide manu-
al which retails for a R176 900.
Power stays the same at
73kw/136nm, but Hyundai fitted a new
6-speed manual gearbox to the i20.
A six-speed gearbox on a 1,4 I hear
you say? Yes, in some ways this is
overkill. Fifth and six gears are purely
there to lower the fuel consumption
and have no urge or go-forward.
Great when you are on long open
highways, but not as fantastic when
you need to pass someone or get up
any sort of hill.
Hyundai claims 4,5 litres/100 km,
but in my test on various surfaces and
in changing conditions I achieved a
respectable figure of around 6,5 li-
tres/100 km. This adds up to a theoret-
ical tank range of around 600 km with
the 45 litre tank.
Performance in the new i20 is noth-
ing to get excited about and Hyundai
claims 11,4 seconds for the 0-100 kph
sprint.
Top speed is a daring 180 kph.
The engine is lifeless until you hit
4000 rpm and then it jumps into life
pulling strongly towards the 6 500 rpm
red line.
On the interior side things are look-
ing up. A mixture of dark grey and
black plastics fill the cabin. Some pret-
ty silver inserts spread around the
cabin add to the youth/sporty image
Hyundai is after.
A chrome gear-lever and door han-
dles further enhance the look when
you step inside. Blue and red are the
light-colours that shine at night from
the instrument cluster.
All the switchgear and audio but-
tons are large and easy to use.
The radio/cd/mp3 player is good
quality and user-friendly. The sound
quality from the six speakers is rather
impressive and you can you use your
iPod and connect a USB device. Blue-
tooth is standard on both models too.
The one thing I rather liked was the
great supportive seats. Even the side
bolstering was great and it felt like a
sport seat.
Headroom was not a problem, but
rear legroom might be cramped for
larger passengers.
The boot size is 292 litres and has
enough space for the daily groceries
or school run.

DFSK Loadhopperwins Best
Microvan of the Year Award
CHINESE manufacturer DSFK
kick-started the microvan mar-
ket in the UK with the introduc-
tion of its Loadhopper - the uni-
que vehicle has now won the
first-ever Best Microvan of the
Year award by the authoritative
video-based website Van-
sA2Z.com.
The category didnt exist last ye-
ar, but thanks to DSFK and their
Swindon-based importer, DSFK UK
who started importing a light com-
mercial vehicle range at the end of
2011, Loadhoppers impressive cre-
dentials have been recognised in
VansA2Zs Vans of the Year
Awards 2012.
A DSFK range of five derivati-
ves, including the 1,3-litre panel
van, was introduced in South Afri-
ca in March this year by importer
and distributor Geely South Afri-
ca, and has met with instant de-
mand.
The range also includes a single
and double cab mini-truck with 1,0
or 1,3-litre engine and a 1,3-litre
mini bus. Prices range from R49
990 to R76 990.
Demand for the DSFK has been
so good from our 34 dealers that
weve had to place additional or-
ders, said Geely South Africas
managing director Henri Meistre.
An additional 150 units will be ar-
riving every month for the next
four months.
VansA2Z.com comments: Mi-
crovans and mini-trucks are not
everyones cup of tea, but they
are very suitable for urban opera-
tions thanks to their diminutive
proportions and very tight tur-
ning circle.
Being forward control in lay-
out - the engine resides under the
cab - there is no bonnet to get in
the way. They can squeeze into
spaces other light commercials
can only dream of fitting into.
Size, however, doesnt restrict
their carrying ability. Payloads
range from 590 kg to 1 000 kg, the
van provides 3 square metres of
load space and comes with a sli-
ding side door.
* DFSK is the automotive divi-
sion of the Chongqing Sokon In-
dustry Group, a group that is res-
ponsible for the manufacture of a
variety of automobile-related pro-
ducts, including car engines, mo-
torcycles and suspension mem-
bers.
A strategic alliance and joint
venture with Chinas second lar-
gest automotive manufacturer,
the Dongfeng company (DFM) has
allowed DFSK to tap into DFMs
joint ventures with well-known
Japanese, Korean and French ma-
nufacturers. DFSK also manufac-
tures a range of heavy commerci-
al vehicles.
Hyundais new i20 (continued)
The ride and handling
had some issues. The
pretty 16-inch rims look
better than they drive
and when combining
those with low profile
rubber, the supposedly
comfortableridegoesout
the door. I would opt for
the 15-inchwheels on the
1.4 Fluid model.
The steering felt sharp
and when pushing on you
dontalwaysknowwhat the
front wheels are doing.
But lets face it, whoever
buys the i20 wont use it on
theannual trackdayorcon-
vert it into some pimped-
out street racer.
On the exterior Hyundai
continues with the so-
called fluidic-sculpture
design and now the i10, i20
and i30 boast almost the
same front end.
I like the single black
grille and those headlights
look superb at night. This
i20 is a really good looking
car, but it is up against
some stiff competition.
There are quite a few
good rivals in this category
namely theVolkswagenPo-
lo1.4,KiaRio1.4Tec,Toyota
Yaris1.3Xi,SuzukiSwift 1.4
GLS, Ford Fiesta 1.4 Ambi-
ente and theOpel Corsa 1.4.
