You know, I think when my grandma, who I spent a lot of time with growing up, when she was going to go buy a new car, I told her she should buy a fire truck.
OscarHOST

And she came back with a very little green sparkly Toyota Starlet.
OscarHOST
8:00
not even try to match the color well she didn't understand what i meant until i until i managed to describe it in my four or five year old language um uh but no like uh for those people that know me closest like some stuff growing up was not easy so uh you know i probably didn't really know what i wanted to be for a long time um and i think yeah like most boys you want to You want to be a firefighter or a police officer or, you know, something like that, which is action man, you know? Well, the firefighter, actual firefighter and policeman, not the bachelor parties one.

We made sure that they are clearly outlined in our press statement.
Lerato MathekaGUEST
15:28
The eyewitness, not one, not two, not three, we spoke with a number of people and all of them are speaking about the same Toyota Starlet car and all of them are speaking about the same registration number.
Lerato MathekaGUEST
15:45
So I think if indeed the police want to do the investigation and then they can get hold of Kananelo, that is a lead that they could use.
Lerato MathekaGUEST
15:59
But that is number one.
Pippa HudsonHOST

Ernest, what, what feedback for Marinette?
Ernest PageGUEST
5:54
Marinette?So I would say certainly stick with Toyota, but knowing that the, uh, the Toyota Starlet is effectively a Suzuki as well.
Pippa HudsonHOST
6:02
Mm.
Ernest PageGUEST
6:03
So, but it's, it's got all the backing of Toyota.
Ernest PageGUEST
6:05
It's got the warranty.
Ernest PageGUEST
6:06
You might wanna shop between the two, because there are sometimes better warranty packages available from Suzuki, although you can extend the warranty on the Toyota Starlet.
Ernest PageGUEST
6:15
So my first recommendation would definitely be to buy the Starlet new.
Ernest PageGUEST
6:19
You get a three to five-year factory warranty, service plan, and, and a whole bunch of other benefits buying new.
JamesHOST

JamesHOST

The Toyota Starlet.
JamesHOST

Stop it.
JamesHOST

Has been retested and it got four stars going from zero stars, which is good.
Pippa HudsonHOST

And one way of keeping the spotlight on this is what they do regularly, and that is helping to send South African models over to Europe, where the Global NCAP program puts them through crash testing scenarios to get a fair assessment of their ratings.
Pippa HudsonHOST
3:31
And Wendy, that's a long way of introducing where we are today, because today we are talking about the very latest results published this week for a second version of the Toyota Starlet.
Pippa HudsonHOST
3:40
And there's quite a complicated history here.
Pippa HudsonHOST
3:42
Just remind us.
Pippa HudsonHOST
18:58
So with apologies to Marinette, whose question we didn't get to today, I will send it to Ernest and ask him to do some research to give you feedback next week.
Pippa HudsonHOST
19:06
And seeing as I note that your question includes a reference to the Toyota Starlet, Marinette, I'm going to please suggest that you stay with us after the Eyewitness News and hear Consumer Talk today.
Pippa HudsonHOST
19:17
which has got some very interesting feedback on the Starlet and its safety features.
Pippa HudsonHOST
19:21
So please make sure you keep on listening and we'll give you Ernest's feedback on your question next week, Wednesday.

And I was invited back to witness another test.

Zero Star car that was retested with six airbags.
Nicol LouwGUEST
3:25

Nicol LouwGUEST
4:41
I don't know if you remember there was a big uproar when the Nissan MP300 Bucky scored a zero star.
Nicol LouwGUEST
4:48
It's a terrible car in a crash.
Nicol LouwGUEST
4:51
And then in the beginning of this year, they tested the Toyota Starlet.
Nicol LouwGUEST
4:54
We'd also scored zero stars because of the side impact test that it failed.
