Review: Infiniti G37

Who do you think you are, Infiniti? That’s a reasonable enough question, seeing as the ‘new’ G37 (born 2007, actually) might be deemed an upstart against its pedigree (if equally aged) BMW 3 Series, Audi A5 and Mercedes C-Class opponents.

Difficult though it might be to believe, 2013 is not just about the VF Commodore for Holden.

Reviews

First drive: Jaguar XFR-S

May be misnamed, but won’t be misplaced in suburbia

Review: Mini PAceman, brisbane, countryman, why, confused, Wheels magazine, new, fast
Reviews

Driven: Mini Paceman

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.

Does it matter how good the new VF Commodore is to drive?

Porsche, 911, turbo, S, Germany, first, drive, fast, new

First drive: Porsche 911 Turbo S

An outward display of raw fear is not an attractive quality in a man, so it’s a good thing I wear a strong poker-face.

First drive: Volkswagen Golf wagon

In a world where station wagons being eaten alive by SUVs of all sizes the newest Golf wagon provides a compelling alternative

Reviews

2009 VW Golf 103TDI Comfortline review

Four blokes pile into a Mk Vl Golf for a weekend getaway. Good thing the diesel derivative is punchy, swift and, errr, macho.

Bloom times – Lotus Evora

It’s the Lotus built for touring, not just track days. But is the Evora enough to see the British sports-car maker blossom into a mainstream contender?
