REVIEWS

Audi A7 Sportback
Think of it as the next-gen A6 with slinkier looks and a slickback

Review: Mitsubishi Outlander LS
Previous Outlanders have never been standout performers in the increasingly competitive medium SUV segment, but they’ve sold solidly due to their appealing seven-seat practicality and good value.

Review: Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG
Excess, as AMG well knows, equals success.

Review: Holden Malibu
Holden keeps its foot firmly on the gas with the launch of its all-new Malibu mid-size sedan, which arrives hard on the heels of the VF Commodore.

First drive: Isuzu MU-X
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.

First drive: W205 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
BMW and Audi need to up their game enormously if the 3 Series and A4 are going to out-class the new C-Class

2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder review
The open and shut case for Lamborghini ownership.

This week’s Wheels – Ford Fiesta LX
Prized progeny of the blue oval proves good drives can come in small packages.

LAUNCHED: Kia Cerato Koup
Good looks and, umm, looks good.

Right Hook Chevrolet Camaro Review
Holden won’t import the thunderous Chevy Camaro (yet), but in this exclusive first Aussie drive courtesy of Queensland-based Performax, we’re able to unleash the wild horses of a bona-fide Pony Car

Suzuki Kizashi AWD
All-wheel drive signals tilt at Subaru

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: BMW 3 Series Touring
The station wagon is dead.

Audi’s mini limo
Wheels went to the international launch of Audi’s A3 Sedan in Hungary this week and met the first entrant of what is in many ways is a new type of segment – the luxury compact sedan.

FIRST DRIVE: FIAT PUNTO POP
The Fiat Punto is back

First drive: Volvo S60 Polestar
Swedish tuning aces turn a Volvo into a driver’s car

2009 Skoda Fabia review
Polo sibling to bring Czech values to supermini market.

Fiesta’s worth easy to gauge
Priorities in the Blue Oval’s new world car – safety, performance, fuel efficiency and road holding. How come the gauge needles don’t rate?

LAUNCHED: Mazda 3 MPS
Second-gen hot hatch tames the torque, but still walks the walk.

Ferrari 458 Italia
Peter Robinson’s long history with Ferrari was ignited by a late-’60s love affair with a Dino 246. Since then he’s driven virtually every subsequent model from Maranello, making him hard to oust as the man to thrash the brilliant, blinding 458 Italia

Citroen DS3
Wannabe Goddess good but no deity

Review: Volvo’s all-new V40 with Pedestrian Airbag Technology
Volvo has always had an unusual approach to marketing.

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: Audi SQ5
Be warned, we are on a slippery slope of sound manipulation.
