AUSTRALIAN SUV REVIEWS

Review: Mercedes-Benz GL350
What’s a nice drivetrain like you doing in a place like this?

Review: Nissan Pulsar SSS
Car companies love tapping into nostalgia. Invoking memories of a bygone hero is a shortcut to consumers’ wallets that potentially saves millions in advertising.

First drive: Honda CR-V Diesel
Honda finally brings the CR-V Diesel to Australia, and it’s got quite a lot going for it as our first drive reveals.

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?

LAUNCHED: Peugeot 308 CC
At first acquaintance, the Peugeot 308 CC seems to have the goods.

Mercedes S63 AMG
Downsized donk still knows thunder road

Review: Range Rover
The new Range Rover is so quiet I can hear the leather creaking, and I can’t decide if that’s a flaw or a feature.

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

Review: Fiat 500 1.2 Pop
“It takes a lot of money to look this cheap!” singer/songwriter Dolly Parton once remarked. And then there’s this – Fiat’s ‘repositioned’ but otherwise unchanged 500. Now from $14,000 driveaway, it’s the least expensive way to look classy on four wheels.

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
