2015 Mercedes-AMG C63 S review
A thumping turbo V8 at the heart of the Mercedes-AMG C63 S aims to make life difficult for the BMW M4, Audi RS4 and Lexus RC F
2015 Mercedes-AMG GT S review
The fastest road car Mercedes has ever produced and Australia’s fastest race track. But is the Mercedes AMG GT S up to the 6.2km challenge?
2015 BMW X1 review
BMW’s baby SUV brings new engines, boosted space, more equipment and a uniquely Aussie look.
2015 BMW 3 Series Review
New-car launches don’t come much bigger than the 3 Series, BMW’s top-selling model globally.
2015 Mini John Cooper Works review
Latest Mini Cooper S gains the works from John Cooper Works
2016 Citroen DS 5 Blue HDi review
PSA Peugeot-Citroen wants to show the world that the French still know a thing or two about automotive luxury with its upmarket new DS brand.
2015 Audi TT Roadster review
The third-generation Audi TT drops its top as we drive it for the first time in Australia. Can the magic carryover from the coupe to the convertible?
2015 Skoda Fabia review
The all-new Skoda Fabia ups the sex appeal of its smallest model with Gen Y-baiting technology, tasteful customisation, and class-leading safety
2015 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider review
Convertibles are never prettier than the cars that give birth to them, but the 4C Spider comes damn close while ditching the roof should also allow more of the classic Alfa exhaust bark to reach your ears.
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.
Citroen Grand C4 Picasso v Subaru Outback 2.0D v Ford Mondeo Titanium v Mazda 6 GT comparison review
Mid-size passenger wagons compared, in premium trim. In a world gone mad for SUVs, what will happen to the classic family stalwart?
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.
2015 Ferrari 488 GTB review
Ferrari’s 458 has extensively restyled, given a turbocharged V8 with more power and loads more torque and a new name. Meet the Ferrari 488 GTB, the Ferrari that makes a 458 Italia look slow…
2015 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe review
Better fuel efficiency and manners for Mercedes-Benz’s best-selling SUV wagon; and it gets a swoopy Coupe brother to rival the BMW X6.
2015 Honda Accord Sport Hybrid review
Honda attempts to reassert its technological prowess with a new-generation ‘i-MMD’ hybrid drivetrain headlining a new range-topping Accord variant
2015 Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake review
Mercedes-Benz’s coupe-esque CLA grows an even bigger tail and gains some practicality in wagon-esque ‘Shooting Brake’ form
2016 Maserati Ghibli review
Maserati turns to nature to set Ghibli apart from tech-touting German rivals. Optional silk interior, trimmed in fabrics specially developed by Italian textile and fashion leader Zegna, are the highlight of MY16 update from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’ fast-growing luxury brand.
2015 BMW 6 Series review
Don’t blink or you’ll miss it; the updated BMW 6-Series is more about price tweaks and added value than rewriting the $300k rule books
2015 Hyundai i40 Series II review
Hyundai has tried to make its i40 a less confusing prospect, by slimming its range and cutting is price. While selling the wagon makes perfect sense, you have to wonder why the sedan offering hasn’t been cut to zero, when you can have a better-looking Sonata for less money.
2015 BMW 1 Series review
BMW has come out swinging with a better value, better-driving update to its smallest, most affordable model, the 1 Series.
2015 Audi Q3 review
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?
2015 Honda Civic Type R review
The 2015 Honda Civic Type R comes as the Japanese maker returns from the hot-hatch wilderness and a snoozefest of road cars with a turbocharged, samurai-sword sharp warrior
2015 Kia Sorento review
A third-generation Kia Sorento seven-seat SUV wings in, delivering better quality, superior refinement, a reassuringly stellar crash rating and a tall stack of standard equipment to fight the likes of the Toyota Kluger and homegrown Ford Territory.
