2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder review
The open and shut case for Lamborghini ownership.
2009 Porsche Boxster S review
Wholesale powertrain upgrades deliver a Boxster S that's not just better, it's brilliant...
2009 Holden Calais review
Holden's new Active Fuel Management system quashes the notion that a big V8 equals big fuel bills. Our run from Sydney to Melbourne on one tank provides the proof.
2009 Mazda MX-5 review
The MX-5 still represents enormous bang for buck in a tight little package.
2009 Mini Cabrio review
Like its pricey stablemate, the BMW M3 Convertible, the latest Mini Cooper S drop-top can put a smile on your dial while you get a 200km/h tan.
2009 Hyundai i30cw review
Hyundai's expanded i30 is more than just a hatch with a bigger boot...
2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 review
New 5.2-litre V10 heralds a meaner, leaner - yet greener - baby Bull.
2009 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera review
Handgun on his hip, the Arizona sheriff leans through the shallow driver's window of Lamborghini's new hardcore track weapon.
2009 Audi Q5 3.2FSI review
Audi' s second?proper SUV following the big?Q7 launched locally in 2006 takes a bite out of the healthy luxury compact SUV market.
2009 Kia Soul Review
To capture the hearts and minds of Gen Y, you gotta have ... Wheels US correspondent John Lamm drives the new Kia hatch.
2009 Nissan GT-R review
Godzilla returns to Australia, and it's fully sick.
2009 Audi Q5 3.2 FSI Review
Ingolstadt's mid-size SUV takes aim at X3.
2009 Volvo XC60 review
Check the badge. Yep, it's a Volvo.
2009 Skoda Fabia review
Polo sibling to bring Czech values to supermini market.
Petrol versus diesel
Petrol or diesel? In the 4X4 arena, it's the campfire fight starter, but now more relevant than ever as fuel prices soar.
2008 Ford Focus RS review
A turbo Ford Focus?
Opel Corsa OPC
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but probably not for the Holden faithful. Even the dumb kid in class could’ve predicted that re-tuning and re-branding cheap, crappy Daewoos was a stupid idea. Replacing a soundly-engineered car (the XC Barina) with a blatantly inferior product (the current heap parading under the same name) was a brave move – especially when the logical follow-up, Opel’s Mk4 Corsa, is such a quality effort.
VW Golf 118 TSI
Don’t be misled by VW’s confusing name strategy: there is a GT model hiding in the new Golf Mk VI.
Nissan R35 GT-R Spec-V review
The dark horse...
Mazda MX-5 Review
With 20 years of production creeping dangerously close to one million units (855,000 at last count), and a claimed 178 awards under its belt, the world’s best-selling open-top two-seater has plenty of reasons to smile. But the facelifted third-genner cracks a Botox grin like it’s rocked in the door at 6am after a night of dance-party tomfoolery. Or woken up and found Jennifer Hawkins cooking it breakfast. Or perhaps both.
Lambo LP650-4
If the SV is the Murcielago’s final fling as a coupe, will this garish limited-edition special be its farewell as a roadster? Inside word is: don’t bet on it, because the big Murchey still has two years to run.
Porsche Cayenne Diesel
Stuttgart jumps on the lean, green and oily bandwagon.
Maserati Quattroporte S
New V8, ZF auto and clever engineering make this Maser a winner.
Mazda 3 SP25
Bigger engine and a revamp, yet the sporty 3 remains much the same.
