Toyota 86 drive
An all-too-brief drive in the new Toyota 86 today at Fuji speedway revealed a sweet-handling, beautifully balanced little front-engined, rear drive coupe which will no doubt be a huge success for Toyota.
Wheels: Jesse Taylor reviews Porsche’s new 911
Two days ago I asked myself whether Porsche’s new 991 911 would crack my all-time top 10. After a day of hard driving in the mountains around Santa Barbara, California, the answer is yes and no.
Subaru Impreza
IT’S ALMOST an expectation that controversy will follow the tail (or nose) of a new Subaru Impreza.
Audi A6 TDI/TFSI
It’s never been a big seller in Australia, outdone by rivals from Mercedes-Benz and BMW, but that’s likely to change with the introduction of the fourth-generation C7 A6 – especially in four-cylinder, front-wheel-drive form tested here.
2011 Volkswagen Jetta Review
THE Chum Creek Road is one of Victoria’s driving delights, curling its way upward from Healesville into the Toolangi State Forest. The corners can be rough or smooth, changes of direction rapid-fire or constant.
Opel Zafira Tourer
Though it doesn’t quite feel like it’s running on rails, the Zafira Tourer is smooth and stable at a 180km/h cruise on the unrestricted autobahn outside Munich.
DRIVEN: Hyundai i40 Tourer
Maybe the i40 Tourer suggests Hyundai also realises the clock is ticking, because this mid-size wagon is just about the most interesting mainstream car the big Korean has launched in Australia.
Beep beep, new Barina is $15,990
After five years masquerading as an early-noughties Daewoo, the Holden Barina is out to restore its reputation with this Aussie-styled, Korean-built, and, crucially, Opel Corsa-platformed new model.
BMW M3 Pure Edition
OF ALL the marketing-bullshit-soaked labels BMW hurls around ‘Pure’ is by far the most meaningful for drivers
Skoda Fabia RS
Skoda’s Fabia RS may look like a Suzuki Swift Sport gone wrong, but it drives like a VW Polo GTI done just right
Mercedes C-Class
AT FIRST glance the 2011 Mercedes C-Class looks much the same
Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder review
Removing the LP560-4’s roof merely adds to its allure
2008 Mercedes-Benz C220 CDI long-term review
Ged does a quick swap ‘n’ go model change from the petrol C200K to the oil-burning C220
Mercedes-Benz E500
We genuinely liked the last (W211) E-class and not just for the mad AMG versions that came with it
LAUNCHED: Porsche 911 GT3
Bigger engine, even more brilliance.
LAUNCHED: BMW Z4
Roof now hard, but character is softer.
Cruze control
The small-car segment is now Australia’s largest, and Mazda and Toyota are hogging the sales fast lane. Can Holden’s new globally developed Cruze redirect the traffic flow?
LAUNCHED: Skoda Superb
Despite the self-indulgent name, Skoda’s new luxo limo flagship has finally arrived offering a tonne of metal of the money.
Strip show – 370Z v HSV R8
Game Zed brings V6 knife to heavyweight V8 gunfight.
Nissan 370Z v HSV R8, Evo X, Cayman S
Not content to have stung Porsche with its upstart GT-R, Nissan widens the front with a Zed-led assault.
LAUNCHED: Honda Odyssey
Almost-sexy seven-seater with substance.
Slide tracked – 370Z v Evo X
Zed plays the power card against Evo’s traction.
LAUNCHED: Nissan Maxima
New model worthy of more than just a blip on buyers’ radar.
Tiers of joy – Mazda 3 SP25 v Golf 118TSI
Moving down one level from GTI and MPS still brings miles of driving smiles.
