The Power of M
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.
Review: Holden Cruze
Difficult though it might be to believe, 2013 is not just about the VF Commodore for Holden.
Driven! Holden’s new VF Commodore
Does it matter how good the new VF Commodore is to drive?
Review: Audi S8
The people have spoken. Audi Australia has bowed to demand and given the S8 a ticket to Australia in the first quarter of 2014.
Review: HSV Range
The company that claims to make Holden vehicles special has lived up to its promise with the introduction of its latest Gen-F line-up.
Review: Mercedes-Benz E400
Will anyone lament the loss of the V8 from the engine menu in Mercedes-Benz’s standard E-Class line-up for Australia when a tasty V6 has been added? Probably not.

Review: BMW M6 Gran Coupe
Brings the speed, but not the pharmacology
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: 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.
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.
Review: Nissan Pulsar SSS
Car companies love tapping into nostalgia. Invoking memories of a bygone hero is a shortcut to consumers’ wallets that potentially saves millions in advertising.
Review: Fiat 500 1.2 Pop
“It takes a lot of money to look this cheap!” singer/songwriter Dolly Parton once remarked. And then there’s this – Fiat’s ‘repositioned’ but otherwise unchanged 500. Now from $14,000 driveaway, it’s the least expensive way to look classy on four wheels.
Quick spin: Fiat Punto Pop
It’s cheap, it’s small and it’s Italian – everyone meet the ‘new’ Fiat Punto.
