AUSTRALIAN SUV REVIEWS
Hyundai i30 CDRi Long Termer – January 2009
Oil aboard Korea’s hybrid-alternative hatch.
Hyundai i30 CRDi Long Termer – April 2009
Capitalising on the folding stuff.
This week’s Wheels – Mazda 6 Diesel Sports hatch
The 6 fills a Japanese-branded gap in the diesel passenger market.
LAUNCHED: Lexus RX350
RX returns to refine the luxo SUV formula it defined.
Second sight – Honda Insight
Gen-two of Honda’s hybrid won’t lure buyers with its driving dynamics, but a $30K price tag and low running costs might have the pull to convert Prius zealots.
LAUNCHED: Porsche Cayenne Diesel
Gasp! A Porsche oiler? Relax, it’s actually quite okay.
FIRST DRIVE: Jaguar XKR
Coupe now with sharper claws.
Poles apart – BMW X6M X5M
The latest additions to BMW’s legendary M division forego big revs for serious slugs of turbocharged torque. Our pre-production drive in northern Sweden suggests they’re both seductive and questionable…
Catapult – Jaguar XFR
A new supercharged 5.0-litre V8 slingshots Jaguar’s XFR to the pointy end of the Euro sports sedan line-up.
2009 Audi R8 V10 Review
Audi’s R8 already shares DNA with Lambo’s Gallardo, and now they’ve added the baby bull’s V10 heart. Porsche’s 911 Turbo should be scared, very scared…
Axles of evil – M3 v C63 AMG v IS F
There’s a new threat to the world order of compact sports sedans – a made-in-Japan missile with M Division and AMG in its sights…
2009 Volkswagen Golf VI review
Round six, and both performance and economy are above par.
Skoda Roomster Long Termer – December 2008
Of diesel sipped and armchairs swallowed.
Mercedes C200K Estate Long Termer – November 2008
Magic wand makes life cruisy.
Mercedes C200K Estate Long Termer – October 2008
Kiddie conveyance a cargo challenge.
Mercedes-Benz C200K Estate Long Termer – September 2008
Fully loaded in more ways than one.
FIRST DRIVE: 2010 Lambo Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder
Drop-dead gorgeous drop-top draws the birds in the Canary Islands. Wheels’ US correspondent John Lamm drives the latest Lamborghini.
2009 Volkswagen Golf GTI MkVI review
Will the latest iteration of the iconic Golf GTI live up to its genius genealogy? Dep-Ed Jesse Taylor reports from the international launch in St Tropez.
2009 Kia Soul Review
To capture the hearts and minds of Gen Y, you gotta have … Wheels US correspondent John Lamm drives the new Kia hatch.
2008 Ford Focus RS review
A turbo Ford Focus?
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.
Nissan R35 GT-R Spec-V review
The dark horse…
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.
