AUSTRALIAN SUV REVIEWS

Nissan GT-R MY11
Now the monster is even angrier. Everyone’s happy, then

Review: VW Beetle
Remember Peter Weir’s The Cars That Ate Paris? Evidently VW doesn’t.

Review: BMW 3 Series GT
Compared with the odious, ugly X6 or the awkward, ponderous 5 Series GT, the new 3 Series Gran Turismo is relatively inoffensive.

Review: Renault Captur
Last year was all about zombies, but that’s all undead now. This year’s all about the … um, sub-compact SUV? Baby crossovers? Light-car cross-dressers? Whatever.

First drive: 2014 Alfa Romeo MiTo
Only months before a new-generation Mini Cooper launches in Australia, Alfa Romeo has put its Mini challenger – the Mito – through a ‘Series II’ enhancement program.

First drive: Jaguar F-Type Coupe
The rain in Spain made our first taste of Jaguar’s new coupe a challenge

2009 Hyundai i30cw review
Hyundai’s expanded i30 is more than just a hatch with a bigger boot…

Positive spin – Toyota Prius
Geeks and greenies will love it unconditionally, but can Prius III also woo drivers?

LAUNCHED: Alfa Romeo Mito Sport
Feisty baby blends sporting cachet with character.

Range Rover Sport
New engines crank up the volume, designers tone down the butch

2011 Audi A7 Review
Audi joins four-door coupe party. Mind your head

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 GL350
What’s a nice drivetrain like you doing in a place like this?

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.

First drive: Jaguar F-Type R Coupe
Jaguar’s F-Type Coupe is stiffer, sexier and more sensible than the Convertible with which it shares much in common. But what’s it like to drive?

First drive: Lexus CT200h
Lexus introduces facelifted version of its smallest hybrid

2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 review
New 5.2-litre V10 heralds a meaner, leaner – yet greener – baby Bull.

Trued grit – Mazda 3 MPS
The second-gen of Mazda’s wild-child hot hatch is as wickedly potent as the first, but chassis changes have reined in the manic torque steer, and helped deliver handling that’s no longer a handful.

LAUNCHED: Audi TT TDI
The diesel sports car has landed.

Mercedes E500 Coupe
CLK successor makes a class distinction

2013 Toyota RAV4 Review
Do buyers of SUVs place much importance on razor-sharp handling, or are there more pressing priorities?

Review: Audi S3
Rapid, responsive, rorty. But where’s the passion?

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.

First drive: BMW M235i
Never in the history of automotive journalism has a road loop done less justice to the launch model.
