AUSTRALIAN SUV REVIEWS

Review: Porsche 911 C4S
Is it a sign of the times that Porsche Australia reckons the typical 911 Carrera 4 buyer is motivated by its fatter stance and greater presence, not necessarily its extra grip?

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

First drive: Jaguar F-Type R Coupe
Jaguar’s F-Type Coupe is stiffer, sexier and more sensible than the Convertible with which it shares much in common. But what’s it like to drive?

First drive: Volkswagen Polo
Former COTY winner undergoes light facelift with new tech

2009 Porsche Boxster S review
Wholesale powertrain upgrades deliver a Boxster S that’s not just better, it’s brilliant…

LAUNCHED: Mini Cooper D
Outstanding efficiency in cute-as-a-button packaging.

Mitsubishi workhorse Triton gets tougher for 2010
Triton now has a new 131kW and 400Nm turbo-diesel and impressive safety gear. It’s all about being tougher than the opposition.

Subaru WRX STi Spec C
Lighter, tighter, righter – for Japan, at least

Review: Holden Cruze Sportswagon
DOES anyone else out there think wagons are pretty sexy looking?

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: Renault Captur
Last year was all about zombies, but that’s all undead now. This year’s all about the … um, sub-compact SUV? Baby crossovers? Light-car cross-dressers? Whatever.

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.

2013 Holden Trax Review
The world has gone small-SUV mad. In markets all over the globe, the satchel-sized Sport Utility Vehicle has become the hottest thing since sleeve tattoos and manufacturers can’t keep up with demand.

Volvo’s twin-charged future
Why not both?

2013 Holden Commodore SS-V Redline Review
So many performance Commodores over the last 20 years haven’t cut it as track cars. But those days are over.

2013 Lotus Exige S Review
If you like it hardcore, you’ll see the light

2013 Range Rover Sport Review
Find something it can’t do. Go on, try…

2013 Hyundai i30 SR Review
In Hyundai-speak, it’s the “Local Model Expansion Strategy.” For us, the first result of a more adaptable product-development approach is the i30 SR, a warm hatch that is (for the moment) unique to Australia.
