2016 Mazda MX-5 2.0-litre review
A bigger engine debuts with bigger wheels and tyres on the Mazda MX-5 roadster. So is the 2.0-litre a sweeter steer than the delectable 1.5?
2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Series II review
Hyundai has brought a clutch of driver aids to its popular Santa Fe seven-seat SUV, and retuned the diesel engine.
2016 Porsche Macan GTS review
The 2016 Porsche Macan GTS will slide into the German brand’s medium SUV line-up between S and Turbo. It’s the sportiest Macan of all, according to Porsche
2016 Mazda CX-9 Prototype Review
A stint behind the wheel of a heavily disguised Mazda CX-9 suggests there will be much to look forward to from the longer, lighter, and more punchy seven-seater.

2016 Porsche 911 Carrera S review
Does switching to turbo boost make the 911 less, or more, of a driver’s car?
2016 Audi Q7 e-tron 3.0 TDI quattro review
It’s a sprinter and endurance athlete, an eco-warrior and ultimately a luxury family trickster. Audi’s Q7 hybrid is the prince of diversity.
Alfa 4C v Audi TT v Peugeot RCZ-R comparison review
A cheap Italian supercar, a sharply suited German, or a firey, bolshy Frenchie? Better bring your gloves!
2016 Mercedes AMG C63 S Coupe review
Two doors fewer but so much more in new Mercedes-AMG C63 S Coupe
2015 Toyota Mirai review
Toyota has developed Mirai as the world’s first full-production fuel cell vehicle. Australians miss out though as Toyota will only sell it where refuelling stations are available.
Mazda CX-5 v Hyundai Tucson v Ford Kuga v Subaru Forester comparison review
Can the turbocharged, top-spec Hyundai Tucson Highlander run with the best of the medium SUV bunch, when each is in its most powerful form?
2016 Ferrari 488 Spider review
The Ferrari 488 Spider gets all the good stuff from the GTB coupe – including a new turbocharged V8 – but adds a retractable hardtop that stows in 14 seconds. Can it be as good to drive?

2015 Toyota Fortuner review
Toyota brings us a seven-seat, off-road capable wagon that’s based on the Hilux dual-cab ute. Is the Fortuner really an enticing alternative to the Kluger and Prado?
2016 DS 5 Blue HDi review

2015 Honda Civic Hatch Series II review
Honda has improved one of its most invisible models – the UK-built Civic Hatch – to the point where it is a viable alternative to the better of the C-segment five-doors
2015 BMW X1 xDrive 25i Review
