AUSTRALIAN SUV REVIEWS

LAUNCHED: Mazda 3 MPS
Second-gen hot hatch tames the torque, but still walks the walk.

Ferrari 458 Italia
Peter Robinson’s long history with Ferrari was ignited by a late-’60s love affair with a Dino 246. Since then he’s driven virtually every subsequent model from Maranello, making him hard to oust as the man to thrash the brilliant, blinding 458 Italia

Citroen DS3
Wannabe Goddess good but no deity

Review: Mazda CX-5 2.5 AWD
Among 2012’s more eventful moments were Lance Armstrong’s performance-enhanced fall and the meteoric rise of Mazda’s CX-5.

Review: HSV Range
The company that claims to make Holden vehicles special has lived up to its promise with the introduction of its latest Gen-F line-up.

FIRST DRIVE: Renaultsport Clio 200
The hot little Renaultsport Clio is back, and it’s all grown up with a turbocharged engine and dual-clutch gearbox. Does the magic still exist?

First drive: Porsche 911 Turbo
Through six generations, the Porsche 911 Turbo has meant one thing above all else – stunning performance

2009 Nissan GT-R review
Godzilla returns to Australia, and it’s fully sick.

LAUNCHED: Lexus IS 250 Convertible
Heavy metal strikes a serene chord.

2010 BMW X1 Review
The niche-filling continues as Munich milks the X factor

Driven: Audi A8 4.2 TDI
EIGHT-hundred Newton-Metres. It takes a lot longer to say it than to feel its full-bore rush when you stomp on the turbo-diesel version of Audi’s A8 limo

Volvo S60 Polestar Limited Edition
Here, at last, is a truly fast Volvo that isn’t rubbish.

Review: Mercedes-Benz E400
Will anyone lament the loss of the V8 from the engine menu in Mercedes-Benz’s standard E-Class line-up for Australia when a tasty V6 has been added? Probably not.

FIRST DRIVE: Audi S3
The conservatively-styled Audi S3 returns with more power, more grip and more luxury…and a lower price to boot.

First drive: Kia ProCeed GT
Shock sub-$30K pricing and Euro engineering underpin Kia’s first driver’s car

2009 Audi Q5 3.2 FSI Review
Ingolstadt’s mid-size SUV takes aim at X3.

Heir Triggers – Audi S4 vs BMW 335i
Can’t stretch to an M3 or RS4? Open both barrels on either Audi’s new supercharged S4 or BMW’s twin-turbo 335i and you’re unlikely to feel under-gunned.

Toyota Hybrid Camry
Oz-built eco-warrior ready to charge large-car rivals

2011 BMW X1 28i Review
New turbo four delivers a hit like a six

Review: Volkswagen Golf GTI
Can Volkswagen do no wrong?

Review: Holden Malibu
Holden keeps its foot firmly on the gas with the launch of its all-new Malibu mid-size sedan, which arrives hard on the heels of the VF Commodore.

FIRST DRIVE: Nissan Altima
Replacing the long-standing Maxima, Nissan Altima’s value equation climbs as you descend the range.

First drive: Subaru WRX
It’s still a WRX, but a more refined, better-handling, more involving iteration

2009 Audi Q5 3.2FSI review
Audi’ s second?proper SUV following the big?Q7 launched locally in 2006 takes a bite out of the healthy luxury compact SUV market.
