Cars.co.za’s Consumer Awards is among the most credible and significant awards programmes in the South African motor industry. Esteemed judges allocate scores, in each category, based on back-to-back comparisons of finalist vehicles, comprehensive feedback from an Owner Satisfaction Survey, and statistics supplied by leading automotive industry data specialists – Lightstone Auto. Efficient, Economical and Awesome In order to be eligible for Budget Car of the Year, contender vehicles had to cost R150000 or less, and include the following features: ABS, dual front airbags, and a service plan. The most important judging factors were: fuel economy, value for money, practicality and brand strength. Ashley Oldfield claims that “The Renault Sandero is modern and solid offering. Despite its keen price, it still manages to maintain excellent levels of standard safety equipment and in-car entertainment.” Consumer’s Choice The Cars.co.za Owner Satisfaction Survey incorporated feedback from South African vehicle owners who rated their vehicles for reliability, after-sales service, cost of ownership and general satisfaction. Judges’ final scores reflected the consumer experience, as well as each brand’s market performance. “There are many awards programmes out there that claim public participation, but what we mean when we talk of consumer input, is not a popular voting mechanism,” said Cars.co.za Consumer Experience Manager Hannes Oosthuizen. “We didn’t want a ‘beauty pageant’… we wanted real, credible input, and the only way to do that is for the public to give us their views on the cars they know best — the ones they own”. The results of the Cars.co.za Consumer Awards were verified by respected auditing firm KPMG, and reflect the true experiences of South African vehicle owners.
