Review: Audi RS6, 2013, Wheels magazine, new, interior, price, pictures, video
Reviews

Review: Audi RS6

I am a Luddite. I have clutched with feverish intensity to the good ole days of atmospheric engines that used cubes to create performance rather than embrace the emerging era dominated by snails and superchargers. That could change with the RS6.

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.

Trued grit – Mazda 3 MPS

Rapid, responsive, rorty. But where’s the passion?

Review, Kia, Rondo, 2013, Hungary, review, price, test drive, specs
Reviews

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.
