E79 | Keep It or CHANGECARS | Audi RS3, Uber vs Car Ownership & Chinese Brands

Описание: This week on Keep It or CHANGECARS Podcast Episode 79 we cover everything from Audi RS3 performance, Uber vs owning a car, and the real challenges facing new car brands entering South Africa.

🚗 The Audi RS3 sedan proves just how exciting performance cars can still be.

📉 But depreciation hits hard — a R1.7 million car can drop hundreds of thousands within months.

🚕 Meanwhile, Mike explains why sometimes Uber actually makes more sense than owning a car, especially when you're constantly working on the move.

But the bigger discussion?

New brands entering South Africa.

⚠️ What happens when a brand launches with no parts network?
⚠️ What happens when resale value collapses?
⚠️ And why should customers be careful about becoming the guinea pig for new brands?

🚨 In this episode we discuss:

🏎️ The Audi RS3 driving experience
🚕 Uber vs owning a car debate
📉 Why new cars lose huge value immediately
🚗 The risks of new brands entering SA
⚠️ Parts availability problems in the industry
🏆 Why Porsche still sets the benchmark for service
🚗 Why Subaru could be doing far more in SA
🔧 The importance of real customer support from OEMs
📊 Real-world car testing at Zwartkops Raceway

The goal is simple.
