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.

Isuzu clearly knows when it’s onto a good thing. Riding on the D-Max’s wave of success – which is up 30 percent year on year – the Japanese brand will launch its first SUV, the MU-X, in Australia next month. And we’ve been driving it.

Scorpion badge brings sting to Fiat’s hatch

Review: Nissan Pulsar Sedan 2013, Wheels magazine, new, interior, price, pictures, video
Reviews

Review: Nissan Pulsar

OCCASIONALLY the backstory is more intriguing than the subject itself. Welcome, then, to the fall and rise of the Pulsar, dormant after seven long years of the spectacularly unsuccessful C11-series Tiida.

Reviews

Review: Mercedes-Benz CLA

Thinking of the CLA-Class as a baby brother to the CLS is right and wrong.

Review: Mercedes-Benz E400

Will anyone lament the loss of the V8 from the engine menu in Mercedes-Benz’s standard E-Class line-up for Australia when a tasty V6 has been added? Probably not.

Mercedes-Benz S Class, review, Wheels, magazine, 2013, Australia, small, SUV
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.

Volvo V40 XC, review, Wheels, magazine, 2013, Australia, small, SUV
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.

Kia Cerato, review, Wheels, magazine, 2013, Australia, small, SUV
Reviews

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.

Holden Trax, review, Wheels, magazine, 2013, Australia, small, SUV
Reviews

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.
