147 replacement arrives late but likeable

Review: Infiniti G37

Who do you think you are, Infiniti? That’s a reasonable enough question, seeing as the ‘new’ G37 (born 2007, actually) might be deemed an upstart against its pedigree (if equally aged) BMW 3 Series, Audi A5 and Mercedes C-Class opponents.

Review: Holden Cruze

Difficult though it might be to believe, 2013 is not just about the VF Commodore for Holden.

Reviews

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.

LAUNCHED: Audi A5 Cabriolet

May be misnamed, but won’t be misplaced in suburbia

Review: Mini PAceman, brisbane, countryman, why, confused, Wheels magazine, new, fast
Reviews

Driven: Mini Paceman

We’ve all felt it. That ball-clenching, stomach-churning moment of turning into a corner too fast, of feeling the tyres slip, the horror of knowing you’re about to crash.

Does it matter how good the new VF Commodore is to drive?

Reviews

2009 VW Golf 103TDI Comfortline review

Four blokes pile into a Mk Vl Golf for a weekend getaway. Good thing the diesel derivative is punchy, swift and, errr, macho.

Reviews

Bloom times – Lotus Evora

It’s the Lotus built for touring, not just track days. But is the Evora enough to see the British sports-car maker blossom into a mainstream contender?

DOES anyone else out there think wagons are pretty sexy looking?

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

The people have spoken. Audi Australia has bowed to demand and given the S8 a ticket to Australia in the first quarter of 2014.

Mercedes-Benz S Class, review, Wheels, magazine, 2013, Australia, small, SUV
Reviews

Review: Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG

You won’t find ‘Race Start’ on the new Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG. The launch-control technology that helps make the smaller E63 AMG the fastest accelerating sedan in Wheels’ history is ignored in the still supercar-fast S63.

Reviews

Review: Volvo V40 XC

When the words ‘cross country’ appear on a vehicle, there’s an immediate issue in managing expectations. Volvo’s new V40 derivative suffers from just such a challenge.

Review: Kia Cerato hatch

Stone motherless last. Not a position you really want to find yourself, unless, say, you’re a guest of the Americans in Guantanamo Bay and there’s a lengthy cue for a go on the water board.

2013 Holden Trax Review

The world has gone small-SUV mad. In markets all over the globe, the satchel-sized Sport Utility Vehicle has become the hottest thing since sleeve tattoos and manufacturers can’t keep up with demand.
