2015 Mazda MX-5 2.0-litre review
The 2015 Mazda MX-5 roadster bucks the technology trend towards autonomy to stay true to its driver-focused principles of pure and exciting driving. We drove the 1.5-litre in February, now we’re jumping behind the wheel of the more powerful 2.0-litre version.

2015 Holden Insignia VXR review
The 2015 Holden GA Series II Insignia VXR is less about the car and more about brand rebuilding, especially in the medium class, where for generations the company has fielded flop after flop. So, if nothing else, this rebadged performance Opel is the anti-Camry.
2015 Audi A1 review
Rather than watch Mini erode the A1’s lead in the posh baby spice club, Audi has sharpened the value, lowered prices and – best of all – dropped a sizzling 1.0-litre three-pot turbo in the base model, creating a more compelling (and fun) proposition.

With the high-flying Mercedes GLA and upcoming second-gen BMW X1 threatening the Q3’s sales leadership, Audi has fitted more efficient engines and more kit to help buoy the premium compact SUV’s appeal. But is it enough?
