Driven: Mini Paceman

We’ve all felt it. That ball-clenching, stomach-churning moment of turning into a corner too fast, of feeling the tyres slip, the horror of knowing you’re about to crash.

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?

Brings the speed, but not the pharmacology

Reviews

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?

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.

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.

Reviews

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.

Reviews

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.
