Double Apex is an independent South African motoring site covering new-car reviews, cult classics, restomods and motorsport. It reads like a car conversation with a knowledgeable friend - quick on the news, but happiest when there’s something interesting parked in front of it.
Why it’s worth your time
The review format is the giveaway: “7 things we learned driving the Chery Tiggo 7 CSH PHEV” tells you more in a headline than most reviews manage in 2,000 words, and the pieces deliver on it - specific, driveable observations rather than reworded launch material. Alongside the new-metal reviews sits a real motorsport desk (F1 calendar politics, a WEC Fuji race report with video) and a cult-car beat that unearths things like a Porsche 944 shooting brake conversion.
South Africa has no shortage of car content; what Double Apex has is taste. The mix - Chinese SUVs shaking up the local market one day, Aston Martin Zagatos the next - matches how South African enthusiasts actually talk about cars.
Who it’s for
Local buyers cross-shopping the flood of new SUVs, and enthusiasts who want their motorsport and heritage fix without wading through a UK-centric publication.
One honest caveat
It’s a broad church - if you only want hardcore track content or only want buyer advice, you’ll be skipping past half the homepage. The reward for range is that you’re never quite sure what you’ll get.
The verdict: the rare local motoring site that covers both the cars South Africans buy and the ones they dream about, with equal conviction.
