AUSTRALIAN SUV REVIEWS

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

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

Review: Opel Corsa OPC
There are a lot of emotions I expected to see on the face of the bloke getting out of the Opel Corsa OPC in front of me – bemusement, sadness, fear – but joy was not one of them.

Review: Subaru Outback
You can be certain of one thing when you show up at a Subaru launch. Japan’s most idiosyncratic car maker won’t be offering the same stuff as everybody else.

Review: Maserati Quattroporte S
Lift the bonnet of the new Quattroporte S for a glimpse of Maserati’s future.

First drive: BMW X5
The golden goose of the large SUV segment, the BMW X5 has been preened for yet greater refinement into 2014.

First drive: Nissan X-Trail
Aussie SUV favourite finds refinement and offers seven-seat option

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: Volvo V40
Volvo has always had an unusual approach to marketing. The pitch for the V40, however, is even stranger, appealing as it does to people’s altruism.

Review: Jaguar F-Type
Yes, it’s a Jaguar, folks, but almost certainly not as you know it.

Review: BMW M6 Gran Coupe
Brings the speed, but not the pharmacology

First drive: Porsche Cayman GTS
Porsche makes its fabulous Cayman coupe even better

First drive: Audi S3 sedan
Audi’s hot small car gets a bootful of extra appeal

First drive: Porsche 918 Spyder
Wheels flies 56 hours for 28 minutes on-track in a $2million hybrid Porsche supercar. Wouldn’t you?

First drive: Chevrolet SS
James Stanford drives the Chevrolet SS in Palm Springs.

Review: Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG
You won’t find ‘Race Start’ on the new Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG. The launch-control technology that helps make the smaller E63 AMG the fastest accelerating sedan in Wheels’ history is ignored in the still supercar-fast S63.

Review: Volvo V40 XC
When the words ‘cross country’ appear on a vehicle, there’s an immediate issue in managing expectations. Volvo’s new V40 derivative suffers from just such a challenge.

Review: Kia Cerato hatch
Stone motherless last. Not a position you really want to find yourself, unless, say, you’re a guest of the Americans in Guantanamo Bay and there’s a lengthy cue for a go on the water board.
