Suzuki streaked ahead at this year's Cars.co.za Consumer Awards, scooping up not only the most coveted prize of the evening - Brand of the Year - but also Best Budget Car and Best Compact Family Car.

The release of the revitalised Suzuki Vitara has been the highlight of the year. Dedicated Suzuki fans have long been awaiting its revival and arrival, and now finally it's alive and roaring. With a 27 year history, the Vitara is reinventing itself with the second generation. Smart. Streamlined. Suzuki.

With a new interpretation of the Vitara, the shape is both contemporary and timeless. It features a full five-star EuroNCAP safety rating, with seven airbags across the range. The extensive personalisation options allow for endless possibilities.

 Every long journey fills my heart with excitement. I am always first in line to swap the daily nine to five for a one-way dash to the Mother City, even if it is just to deliver a vehicle. To me, the one-way trip from Johannesburg to Cape Town is like a looooong waterslide. You start off slow, making your way through the infamous Jozi traffic, dodging potholes and unruly motorists and then slowly gain momentum until you get to the beautiful Hex River Pass and eventually arrive in Cape Town. The flight back is boring and dull, just like the walk back to the top after your favourite waterslide ride.

 They've done it!
