Mazda CX-5 v Hyundai Tucson v Ford Kuga v Subaru Forester comparison review

Can the turbocharged, top-spec Hyundai Tucson Highlander run with the best of the medium SUV bunch, when each is in its most powerful form?

Reviews

Snackable Review: Suzuki Jimny Sierra

The Suzuki Jimny has been taking to Australian roads since 1998. This capable off-roader not only looks good but also comes at an affordable price.

Reviews

2015 Skoda Octavia Scout 4×4 First Drive Review

Europe’s value-for-money AWD crossover is a great way for active, pragmatic family car buyers to get into VW Group tech and quality at a more affordable price point.

Reviews

Snackable Review: Toyota HiLux

Toyota pulls out all the stops for its first completely new HiLux in a decade.

Ferrari 488 Spider
Reviews

2016 Ferrari 488 Spider review

The Ferrari 488 Spider gets all the good stuff from the GTB coupe – including a new turbocharged V8 – but adds a retractable hardtop that stows in 14 seconds. Can it be as good to drive?

Reviews

2015 Citroen C4 Picasso First Drive Review

Futuristic, nicely designed mini MPV touches down, with lots of quirky Frenchness that’s reasonably fun to drive.

Reviews

Snackable Review: Suzuki Swift Sport

Can Suzuki’s stylish pocket rocket stand out in the highly competitive hot-hatch segment?

Hyundai Genesis
Reviews

2015 Hyundai Genesis long-term car review

We rate and review the 2015 Hyundai Genesis, the company’s first luxury sedan

2016 Subaru Levorg
Reviews

2016 Subaru Levorg 2.0 review

A classic-Liberty sized sports wagon with WRX running gear, the Subaru Levorg will give the VW Golf R wagon a run for its money

Reviews

Snackable Review: Hyundai Santa Fe

It won’t elicit envious glances from the neighbours, but if you need a sensible way of carting seven then Hyundai’s Santa Fe ticks a lot of boxes.

Reviews

2015 Volvo V60 D4 Long Term Review

We get our first taste of the Swede life in the V60, a stylish wagon that’s staying on as part of the furniture

Reviews

2015 Alfa Romeo 4C First Drive Review

Alfa’s mid-engine hero is here and it’s a game-changer; the 4C is fast, fabulous and flawed, like all the best supercars.

Skoda Octavia RS
Reviews

Skoda Octavia RS review

Is the Czech within swinging distance of a GTI?

Toyota Fortuner
Reviews

2015 Toyota Fortuner review

Toyota brings us a seven-seat, off-road capable wagon that’s based on the Hilux dual-cab ute. Is the Fortuner really an enticing alternative to the Kluger and Prado?

BMW M235i review
Reviews

BMW M235i review

Turbo straight-six, rear-drive, tight wheelbase: the M235i is sound in theory, but in practice?

Reviews

2015 Nissan Navara ST 4×4 First Drive Review

Nissan’s new tradie secret is its much improved dual purpose workhorse; steering and handling dynamics not quite there though.

Reviews

Snackable Review: Lexus IS200t F-Sport

The IS model is the best selling Lexus and the most fun to drive. Even more so now that it comes with a turbocharged engine, part of a mild update to the IS lineup that also includes a fuel-miser hybrid and a faster V6.

2016 DS 5 Blue HDi review
Reviews

2016 DS 5 Blue HDi review

An exquisite interior and smooth diesel engine distinguish the first car from premium Citroen sub-brand DS. How well does the chassis perform in an Australian environment?

Reviews

Toyota HiLux Video Review

After years of redevelopment, the first all-new Toyota HiLux in a decade has arrived. Toyota has stopped at nothing to make sure it remains Australia’s favourite workhorse.

Reviews

Snackable Review: Jeep Renegade

The Jeep Renegade has finally hit Australian shores. Entering the compact SUV segment, the Renegade is city-chic meets off-road toughness all wrapped up in a neat little SUV box.

Kia ProCeed GT review
Reviews

Kia ProCeed GT review

Can its first hot hatch change Kia’s underwhelming reputation?

Reviews

2016 Holden Ute Review

Based on the proven Commodore sedan, the Holden Ute is easy to drive, performs well, and can cart around mountain bikes, large dogs, jet-skis and pretty much anything else.

Audi S1 review
Reviews

Audi S1 review

Cutesy compact hatch goes dizzy on ice

Reviews

Ford’s Falcon XR8 promises to send out the Falcon with a big bang, not a fizzle.
