Review: VW Beetle

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

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: Renault Captur

Last year was all about zombies, but that’s all undead now. This year’s all about the … um, sub-compact SUV? Baby crossovers? Light-car cross-dressers? Whatever.

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.

Review: Mercedes-Benz E63 S AMG

Walking around the one and only Mercedes-Benz E63 S AMG in the country is something like the calm before the storm. But not just any storm, more a category five hurricane on wheels.

2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 review

New 5.2-litre V10 heralds a meaner, leaner – yet greener – baby Bull.

Reviews

Trued grit – Mazda 3 MPS

The second-gen of Mazda’s wild-child hot hatch is as wickedly potent as the first, but chassis changes have reined in the manic torque steer, and helped deliver handling that’s no longer a handful.

Rapid, responsive, rorty. But where’s the passion?

Reviews

Review: Kia Rondo

The Australian male is world-renowned for his stoicism. He goes over the trenches for his mates. He tells fibs to the same mate’s wife because a beer commercial told him to. That mate repays the favour by saving the first mate from a shark attack by punching the bastard thing in the nose.

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

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.

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.
