3 Kings – Chevrolet Camaro vs Holden Coupe 60 vs Holden Monaro

We muster Holden’s oz-developed muscle-car royalty to find the coupe worthy of the pony-car crown.

Review: Mini PAceman, brisbane, countryman, why, confused, Wheels magazine, new, fast
Reviews

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?

Review: BMW M6 Gran Coupe

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?

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

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

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: BMW M235i

Never in the history of automotive journalism has a road loop done less justice to the launch model.

Bent rules - Holden AFM Calais
Reviews

2009 Holden Calais review

Holden’s new Active Fuel Management system quashes the notion that a big V8 equals big fuel bills. Our run from Sydney to Melbourne on one tank provides the proof.

The king and I - Porsche 911 Carrera S
Reviews

The king and I – Porsche 911 Carrera S

Robbo lets rip in the latest iteration of a model that’s both infatuated and infuriated him over the last 40 years. So does the second-gen 997 retain its crown?

LAUNCHED: Alfa Romeo 8C Spider
Reviews

LAUNCHED: Alfa Romeo 8C Spider

From the moment your thumbprint on the starter button is answered by a burst of V8-flavoured decibels, it’s clear the Alfa Romeo’s 8C Spider is up for the challenge.

Maserati GranCabrio

Brilliance not essential when you look this good

Reviews

Review: Audi A7

Audi’s MY13 A7 delivers most of the things an MY12 owner might wish for, plus some bonuses, but the steering’s still a bit weird.

Review: Jaguar F-Type

Yes, it’s a Jaguar, folks, but almost certainly not as you know it.

Review: Mercedes-Benz E63 S AMG

Walking around the one and only Mercedes-Benz E63 S AMG in the country is something like the calm before the storm. But not just any storm, more a category five hurricane on wheels.
