REVIEWS

Lean beef that leaves you very full.

Audi A5 2.0T quattro
By finding yet another application for its latest-generation 2.0-litre TFSI four, Audi has created a cracker

Porsche Boxster Spyder
Playing the heritage card sheds light on the subject

Nissan GT-R MY11
Now the monster is even angrier. Everyone’s happy, then

Review: VW Beetle
Remember Peter Weir’s The Cars That Ate Paris? Evidently VW doesn’t.

Review: BMW 3 Series GT
Compared with the odious, ugly X6 or the awkward, ponderous 5 Series GT, the new 3 Series Gran Turismo is relatively inoffensive.

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: Holden Barina RS
Holden introduces the RS badge to its diminutive Barina. But is it warm or hot?

First drive: Subaru WRX
It’s still a WRX, but a more refined, better-handling, more involving iteration

2011 Audi A7 Review

What’s a nice drivetrain like you doing in a place like this?

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.

First drive: BMW X5
The golden goose of the large SUV segment, the BMW X5 has been preened for yet greater refinement into 2014.

First drive: Nissan X-Trail
Aussie SUV favourite finds refinement and offers seven-seat option

2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 review
New 5.2-litre V10 heralds a meaner, leaner – yet greener – baby Bull.

Trued grit – Mazda 3 MPS
The second-gen of Mazda’s wild-child hot hatch is as wickedly potent as the first, but chassis changes have reined in the manic torque steer, and helped deliver handling that’s no longer a handful.

LAUNCHED: Audi TT TDI
The diesel sports car has landed.

Mercedes E500 Coupe
CLK successor makes a class distinction

2013 Toyota RAV4 Review
