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.
Review: Holden Cruze Sportswagon
DOES anyone else out there think wagons are pretty sexy looking?
Review: Audi A7
Audi’s MY13 A7 delivers most of the things an MY12 owner might wish for, plus some bonuses, but the steering’s still a bit weird.
Review: Nissan Pulsar
OCCASIONALLY the backstory is more intriguing than the subject itself. Welcome, then, to the fall and rise of the Pulsar, dormant after seven long years of the spectacularly unsuccessful C11-series Tiida.
Review: Mitsubishi Outlander LS
Previous Outlanders have never been standout performers in the increasingly competitive medium SUV segment, but they’ve sold solidly due to their appealing seven-seat practicality and good value.
Review: Range Rover
The new Range Rover is so quiet I can hear the leather creaking, and I can’t decide if that’s a flaw or a feature.
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: 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: 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: 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: Kia Cerato
Kia’s naked ambition is there for the world – including Australia – to see.
