I'm out of touch with what new cars cost in SA. The last time I looked was in 2013 and that was for a Figo which was R130K I drove a 25 year old merc for 7 years.
In terms of local pricing, this came in at less than the new Jimny (new) would have set me back. My besties have an X3 and a Honda CRV and I think they're questioning slightly whether they should have bought a Suburu (much more so when it comes to the Honda)
