AUSTRALIAN SUV REVIEWS

First drive: Maserati Quattroporte
Twin-turbo Italian beauty gets more room and a stronger, lighter body to take the fight to Porsche and Aston Martin.

2009 Porsche Boxster and Porsche Cayman review
Not just a pretty facelift.

LAUNCHED: Audi TT RS
Reborn turbo five kicks RS, but chassis misses the sweet spot.

Jetta engine choices expand
Volkswagen has introduced a mid-life spruce up to its current Jetta sedan range in Australia

Lexus RX450h
Let’s take this one day at a time and see how it goes

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

Review: Volkswagen Golf 90TSI
Base model calls “fore!” as the opposition ducks for cover

Quick spin: Fiat Punto Pop
It’s cheap, it’s small and it’s Italian – everyone meet the ‘new’ Fiat Punto.

First Aussie drive: Jaguar F-Type
Associate editor Westerman’s worried. He’s driven Jaguar’s F-Type through Spain’s mountainous north, and in the July 2103 issue, given it bigger raps than Jay-Z and Tupac. But has he got it right? Does European brilliance translate to Aussie awesomeness?

First drive: Infiniti Q50s hybrid
The Infiniti Q50 S proves that a hybrid-driven future doesn’t have to be horrible.

2009 Honda Civic hatch review
UK-built five-door has lots to offer Oz buyers … for a price.

LAUNCHED: Audi S4
Supercharged V6 replaces atmo V8, but no sympathy cards required.

A5 Sportback
The latest step in fast-moving Audi’s global product strategy is the A5 Sportback – a hard-to-describe model lobbing into a new segment.

Abarth Punto Evo
Scorpion badge brings sting to Fiat’s hatch

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: Kia Cerato
Kia’s naked ambition is there for the world – including Australia – to see.

First drive: Australia’s most powerful car
Say hello to the most powerful production car ever built in Australia.

First drive: Subaru WRX STI
One of rally’s original turbo ’toon cars grows up

2009 Volvo XC60 review
Check the badge. Yep, it’s a Volvo.

2009 Kia Cerato review
Korean Corolla rival benefits from German influence

LAUNCHED: Skoda Octavia
Price-leader 1.6 joins value-packed range.

Open wide and say R
Can VW’s new Uber Golf R cut it against Renault’s Megane 250 cup and Ford’s sharp-as Focus RS in the battle of the hyper hatches?

Audi A7 Sportback
Think of it as the next-gen A6 with slinkier looks and a slickback

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