Mercedes-Benz E500 Cabriolet 2014: Review

Mercedes-Benz has no excuses for not being at the top of the four-seat convertible game. It’s been at it for more than 100 years and its 2014 E500 Cabriolet is now cleaner looking, faster, more economical and far, far safer.

2009 HSV Clubsport R8 review

The big-selling Clubby has grown in size, power and poise. But is it really better?

Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2013 review
Reviews

Mercedes-Benz E-Class: Review

Call it facelift is you must, but the “new generation” Mercedes-Benz E-Class range has just lobbed into Oz with a bold new look, gutsier and more efficient engines, richer updated interiors, higher levels of standard equipment, better value and a raft of cutting-edge tech that brings (albeit very limited) autonomous driving to local terra firma. It’s a direct response, Merc-Benz says, to customer wants of more aggression, power and technology in their Es.

We genuinely liked the last (W211) E-class and not just for the mad AMG versions that came with it

Opel Corsa OPC

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but probably not for the Holden faithful. Even the dumb kid in class could’ve predicted that re-tuning and re-branding cheap, crappy Daewoos was a stupid idea. Replacing a soundly-engineered car (the XC Barina) with a blatantly inferior product (the current heap parading under the same name) was a brave move – especially when the logical follow-up, Opel’s Mk4 Corsa, is such a quality effort.

VW Golf 118 TSI

Don’t be misled by VW’s confusing name strategy: there is a GT model hiding in the new Golf Mk VI.

Mazda MX-5 Review

With 20 years of production creeping dangerously close to one million units (855,000 at last count), and a claimed 178 awards under its belt, the world’s best-selling open-top two-seater has plenty of reasons to smile. But the facelifted third-genner cracks a Botox grin like it’s rocked in the door at 6am after a night of dance-party tomfoolery. Or woken up and found Jennifer Hawkins cooking it breakfast. Or perhaps both.

Lambo LP650-4

If the SV is the Murcielago’s final fling as a coupe, will this garish limited-edition special be its farewell as a roadster? Inside word is: don’t bet on it, because the big Murchey still has two years to run.
