SA’s most affordable car shows that cheap needn’t mean nasty

The S-Presso looks to lure primarily young buyers with its funky, youthful charm but the boxy styling is a double-edged sword — ironically my 50-something-year old self likes its chunky design but my 20-something daughters, not so much. The S-Presso scoots about town with lightfooted oomph and it’s not unhappy to break free of city confines. On the open road it’s able to maintain more than the 120km/h speed limit up hills, even with the power-sapping aircon running.
But the whole model range, including the base model, gets a reasonable level of knick-knacks including electric front windows , remote central locking, trip computer, rear park distance control and aircon as part of an attractively-priced deal.
The S-Presso scoots around with great agility due to its tiny stature, but the elevated 180mm ride height makes it feel somewhat top-heavy if you try take corners too fast, and the skinny tyres quickly start squealing.
