ARTHUR Hongwana says owning an Audi Q7 S-line 3,0-litre Quatro is like hitting two birds with one stone for him.
He said it is good for his business and does wonders when it comes to family outings.
During the week it gets him everywhere he needs to be for his business. And then comes weekend, it’s there to see them through family trips.
He said the nice thing is when he folds seats, it becomes a utility car, what is called a van eKasi, where he loads more goods.
“It’s spacious and powerful. I can easily fit all my tools inside when going for work,” he told Cartrends.
Arthur runs his own business, Bravery Cooperation, which specializes in both residential and commercial cleaning.
“We do pest control, sanitization, window cleaning, carpet cleaning, deep cleaning (bathrooms, kitchens), hygiene services, daily cleaning as well as car wash and valet,” he said.
He said when going about his business he carries with him big tools that cannot fit in a small car and had it not been for his Q7, he’d have to hire proper cars to carry his tools.
But in the Q7 it’s a no brainer. All the machines and tools fit just fine.
He said he started his company during Covid when hygiene was number one priority in the country.
“I then realised that I have serious passion for hygiene.”
He said he used his other cars at first but they were not good enough.
“I then bought the Audi which came very handy,” he said.
When asked what makes his car so special, Arthur poured his heart out.
Q: When did you buy this car?
A: I bought it in 2021.
Q: Was it your first car and is it your dream car?
A: It’s my third car this one. I can say that it’s my dream car because Audi has always been close to my heart. I always dreamt of owning an Audi.
Q: What do you love about this car?
A: It is big and spacious which gives me freedom, and quite roomy for all my companions in the car. We never feel squashed in it, especially on long drives with my family.
It’s also comfortable and quite powerful.
“It’s so comfortable that everyone falls asleep when we are on a trip, and it’s just me and the Q7,” he said.
He said he frequents visiting his hometown in Limpopo and his Q7 is the best companion.
Q: Does it draw a lot of attention?
A: Big time, you will never miss it on the road. It commands attention wherever we go with it.
He said on performance, it does wonders.
Q: Tell us about its interior?
A: I love that its interior material is quality and luxurious. The infotainment has most of the new technology. It has leather seats that are electronically adjusted. There are seat warmers for front seats.
He said the Q7 can seat up to seven people and that’s a bonus for a family man like him.
Q: Tell us about its external designs?
A: I love its adaptive xenon high-intensity-discharge headlights. The LED daytime running lights. The panoramic sunroof and the18-inch wheels. All these combine to give my car its amazing beauty.
Q: Do you think South African drivers are good?
A: Well it differs with provinces. In a province like Gauteng you can mistake them for bad drivers, but what I’ve seen is that life is very fast here. When you are on the road you have to be a quick thinker, you shouldn’t snooze on the road, especially on fast lane. If you do, you’ll think others are bad drivers.
Q: Name the thing that SA drivers do that you wish they’d stop doing?
A: Road rage is terrible and I hate it. People have lost lives during road rage. I wish drivers could learn to tolerate each other on the road and stop unnecessary fights.
End.
