2015 Skoda Fabia Combi review
2015 Ford Focus ST review
The facelifted Ford Focus ST takes the fight to Volkswagen’s all-conquering Golf GTI with a trendy new look, a much-improved interior and a sharper chassis
2015 Holden Astra GTC Sport, Holden Astra VXR review
The Holden Astra GTC and VXR mark the start of Holden’s five-year European product onslaught, and follows GM’s aborted attempt in 2012 to relaunch Opel in Oz
2015 Volkswagen Golf R wagon review
The Volkswagen Golf R wagon will hit the Australian market as a unique performance proposition for buyers wanting extra cargo capacity with little or no compromise to speed, handling and control
2015 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack review
The Volkswagen Golf Alltrack replicates the successful Outback-aping Passat Alltrack formula, although this time around it is in a more compact, and affordable, package

Changes to the 2015 Mitsubishi Triton MQ-series include an all-new 2.4-litre turbodiesel engine, a slightly roomier cabin with a new interior, and a six-speed manual gearbox
2015 Nissan Micra review
Nissan’s nipped and tucked Micra hits its rivals where it hurts – the bottom line
Ford Mustang Ecoboost Convertible review
Forget burnouts and lap times, it’s more about soaking up the scenery in Ford’s drop-top, four-pot pony
Tesla Model S P85D review
Shocking acceleration and all-wheel drive grip from two electric motors amps up the talents of the Model S
2015 Nissan Juke ST review
It’s still not going to appeal to every palate, but Nissan’s extrovert Juke has had some development budget aimed in its direction. It emerges with some well-judged upgrades.
2015 Citroen DS3 review
Citroen’s gorgeously different, shark-finned DS3 has been relaunched with a refreshed face, a single-spec range, no automatic gearbox option and a new and inflated price
Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4 first Australian drive
Lamborghini’s Gallardo was the company’s biggest-selling vehicle of all time, and its replacement is better looking, smarter and faster. And, in Australia at least, cheaper as well. What’s not to love?
2015 Mitsubishi Outlander review
Mitsubishi has extensively revised the engineering and styling of its Outlander SUV, while enhancing value. But has enough been done to shake up the hotly competitive mid-sized market segment?
2015 Audi RS3 Sportback review
Audi RS3 Sportback sets out to smash Mercedes-AMG’s hugely successful A45 by offering more power and quicker acceleration
2015 BMW X6M review
Niche within niches is a peculiarly German phenomenon, as the BMW X6M hammerhead proves. Now in its second-gen guise, the SUV flagship offers more power yet greater efficiency. But the point of it isn’t any clearer
2015 BMW X5M review
BMW’s bahn-storming X5M returns for another stab at the super-est SUV title, bringing boosts in power, efficiency and features, for a faster yet more frugal proposition. But cheap it’s not.
2015 VW Polo GTI review
Remember the manual gearbox? One drive of the new Polo GTI and you won’t forget the joy of this manual hot-hatch as Volkswagen goes back to the future with its new baby
2015 Ferrari California T review
The $409,000 Ferrari California T is at the vanguard of a brave new world for Maranello. With a turbocharged 3.9-litre V8 under the bonnet, it sets the template for Ferrari’s coming generation of road cars
2015 Hyundai i30 review
The three-year-old Hyundai i30 C-segment hatch (and Touring wagon) is subtly modified with a more elegant nose, improved diesel efficiency and performance (courtesy of a new dual-clutch auto), and minor spec improvements.
2015 Mercedes-AMG GT S review
Mercedes-Benz’s unofficial replacement for the gullwing-doored SLS is not only a more focused and well-rounded sports car, it’s both prettier and cheaper
2015 Ford Mondeo review
Ford turns up the heat on its medium-size rivals with the generously equipped, impressively refined and dynamically excellent 2015 Mondeo.
2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport review
Land Rover’s replacement for the popular Freelander proves it is better in almost every department, but can’t wait for new diesel engines
2015 Porsche 918 Spyder review
Porsche is a car company that’s constantly looking to shift the goalposts and recalibrate our expectations of what’s possible, but with the 918 Spyder it has set fire to the goalposts and is dancing on the ashes
2030 Mercedes-Benz F015 review
Forget KITT and the Doc’s time machine DeLorean, the Mercedes F015 concept takes futuristic travel to the next (scary) hands-off level
