AUSTRALIAN SUV REVIEWS
2009 Porsche Boxster S review
Wholesale powertrain upgrades deliver a Boxster S that’s not just better, it’s brilliant…
LAUNCHED: Mini Cooper D
Outstanding efficiency in cute-as-a-button packaging.
Mitsubishi workhorse Triton gets tougher for 2010
Triton now has a new 131kW and 400Nm turbo-diesel and impressive safety gear. It’s all about being tougher than the opposition.
Subaru WRX STi Spec C
Lighter, tighter, righter – for Japan, at least
Review: Hyundai Genesis
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: 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: 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: 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.
First Aussie drive: Jaguar F-Type
Associate editor Westerman’s worried. He’s driven Jaguar’s F-Type through Spain’s mountainous north, and in the July 2103 issue, given it bigger raps than Jay-Z and Tupac. But has he got it right? Does European brilliance translate to Aussie awesomeness?
First drive: Honda CR-V Diesel
Honda finally brings the CR-V Diesel to Australia, and it’s got quite a lot going for it as our first drive reveals.
First drive: Skoda Yeti
Czech soft-roader returns with a new face and lower prices
First drive: Porsche Cayman GTS
Porsche makes its fabulous Cayman coupe even better
First drive: Audi S3 sedan
Audi’s hot small car gets a bootful of extra appeal
First drive: Porsche 918 Spyder
Wheels flies 56 hours for 28 minutes on-track in a $2million hybrid Porsche supercar. Wouldn’t you?
First drive: Chevrolet SS
James Stanford drives the Chevrolet SS in Palm Springs.
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.
2013 Holden Trax Review
The world has gone small-SUV mad. In markets all over the globe, the satchel-sized Sport Utility Vehicle has become the hottest thing since sleeve tattoos and manufacturers can’t keep up with demand.
2013 Alfa Romeo 4C Review
This is a slightly sad, mildly embarrassing thing to admit, but sometimes – very rarely – the unveiling of a car can make all the hair on my body stand up and dance.
Volvo’s twin-charged future
Why not both?
2013 Range Rover Autobiography Review
The day when cars can assess your mood as you’re driving and react accordingly – playing Gregorian chants, or birdsong when you’re stressed, sending mild electric shocks to your crotch when you’re sleepy – is fast approaching, but I didn’t realise it was already here.
2013 Holden Commodore SS-V Redline Review
So many performance Commodores over the last 20 years haven’t cut it as track cars. But those days are over.
2013 Lotus Exige S Review
If you like it hardcore, you’ll see the light
