The #CarsAwards is Mzansi’s definitive automotive awards programme, and the list of cars it featured is meant to guide car buyers to make the best-informed purchasing decisions. The judging panel evaluates cars directly against their peers in specific categories, each of which has particular requirements. What’s more, 50% of the final scores is based on brand-specific after-sales data that incorporate customer feedback from thousands of Mzansi car owners.
