Review: Opel Corsa OPC
There are a lot of emotions I expected to see on the face of the bloke getting out of the Opel Corsa OPC in front of me – bemusement, sadness, fear – but joy was not one of them.

Review: Volvo V40
Volvo has always had an unusual approach to marketing. The pitch for the V40, however, is even stranger, appealing as it does to people’s altruism.

Review: VW Beetle
Remember Peter Weir’s The Cars That Ate Paris? Evidently VW doesn’t.

Review: Audi RS6
I am a Luddite. I have clutched with feverish intensity to the good ole days of atmospheric engines that used cubes to create performance rather than embrace the emerging era dominated by snails and superchargers. That could change with the RS6.

2013 Toyota RAV4 Review
Do buyers of SUVs place much importance on razor-sharp handling, or are there more pressing priorities?

Review: Ford Kuga
It’s the most technologically advanced vehicle Ford has ever sold in Australia, utilising enough computer power to send a monkey to the moon, and back, and it’s not a luxury sedan, or even a mega truck, it’s just a medium SUV – the new Kuga.

Review: 2013 Honda Civic DTi-S Diesel Hatch
Journalists, by nature, are cynics. So when Honda Australia declared its first ever diesel, fitted exclusively to the Civic hatch, is as refined and as quiet as its petrol offerings, I sniggered into my morning coffee.

Review: Mazda CX-5 2.5 AWD
Among 2012’s more eventful moments were Lance Armstrong’s performance-enhanced fall and the meteoric rise of Mazda’s CX-5.

Volvo S60 Polestar Limited Edition
Here, at last, is a truly fast Volvo that isn’t rubbish.

Review: Volkswagen Golf GTI
Can Volkswagen do no wrong?

Review: Renault Zoe
The future really is another country, one from which I’ve just returned.

Review: Audi R8
The R8 supercar is the best thing that has ever happened to Audi.

Review: Mercedes-Benz CLA
Thinking of the CLA-Class as a baby brother to the CLS is right and wrong.

Review: Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG
Excess, as AMG well knows, equals success.

Review: BMW 3 Series Touring
The station wagon is dead.

Review: Porsche 911 C4S
Is it a sign of the times that Porsche Australia reckons the typical 911 Carrera 4 buyer is motivated by its fatter stance and greater presence, not necessarily its extra grip?

Review: Subaru Outback
You can be certain of one thing when you show up at a Subaru launch. Japan’s most idiosyncratic car maker won’t be offering the same stuff as everybody else.

Review: Jaguar F-Type
Yes, it’s a Jaguar, folks, but almost certainly not as you know it.

Review: BMW 3 Series GT
Compared with the odious, ugly X6 or the awkward, ponderous 5 Series GT, the new 3 Series Gran Turismo is relatively inoffensive.

Review: Mercedes-Benz GL350
What’s a nice drivetrain like you doing in a place like this?

Review: Audi S3
Rapid, responsive, rorty. But where’s the passion?

Review: Volkswagen Golf 90TSI
Base model calls “fore!” as the opposition ducks for cover

Review: Ford EcoSport
I’m trying to remember the last time I was less surprised by a photo than this one of a Ford EcoSport on its roof.

Review: Kia Cerato
Kia’s naked ambition is there for the world – including Australia – to see.
