REVIEWS

First drive: Audi A8
Facelifted Audi A8 brings improvements and performance, at a price

2009 VW Golf 103TDI Comfortline review
Four blokes pile into a Mk Vl Golf for a weekend getaway. Good thing the diesel derivative is punchy, swift and, errr, macho.

Bloom times – Lotus Evora
It’s the Lotus built for touring, not just track days. But is the Evora enough to see the British sports-car maker blossom into a mainstream contender?

LAUNCHED: Peugeot 308 CC
At first acquaintance, the Peugeot 308 CC seems to have the goods.

Mercedes S63 AMG
Downsized donk still knows thunder road

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

Review: Renault Zoe
The future really is another country, one from which I’ve just returned.

Review: Audi S8
The people have spoken. Audi Australia has bowed to demand and given the S8 a ticket to Australia in the first quarter of 2014.

First drive: Jaguar XJR
Making a super sporty version of a luxury limousine may make as much sense as putting wheels on a king size bed, but that doesn’t stop car companies from doing it.

The Infiniti Q50 S proves that a hybrid-driven future doesn’t have to be horrible.

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: Audi R8
The R8 supercar is the best thing that has ever happened to Audi.

Review: HSV Range
The company that claims to make Holden vehicles special has lived up to its promise with the introduction of its latest Gen-F line-up.

First drive: Jaguar XFR-S
It seems like just yesterday, because it was, that we were telling you about how strange it was of Jaguar to put its savagely tuned 5.0-litre V8 in its XJ limo to create the XJR.

First drive: Subaru WRX STI
One of rally’s original turbo ’toon cars grows up

First drive: BMW M3 & M4
Highly anticipated duo will restore M division’s stellar reputation

2009 Honda Civic hatch review
UK-built five-door has lots to offer Oz buyers … for a price.

LAUNCHED: Audi S4
Supercharged V6 replaces atmo V8, but no sympathy cards required.

A5 Sportback
