2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake review
The latest addition to Mercedes-Benz’s small car range steps up in practicality in the form of the CLA Shooting Brake. The wagon version of the CLA brings more boot space and a new rear design, creating the fifth body style off the front-drive architecture

Mercedes-AMG SL 63 review
Believing that more is hardly enough, Mercedes-Benz has upped the power and torque of its twin-turbo V8 two-seat luxury SL 63 AMG two-door roadster while still managing a very reasonable 9.9L/100km

2015 BMW 2 Series Convertible review
BMW’s new baby convertible replaces the highly popular 1 Series version, which was a sales winner for the company locally, bringing in plenty of new customers at its relatively low price point. Will the new 2 version have the style, and substance, to replicate that feat?

2015 Alfa Romeo Giulietta review
The Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde packs the 4C’s 1750 turbo four when combined with the TCT twin-clutch transmission. Improved materials quality, a more aggressive soundtrack and a host of detail changes see the hottest Giulietta come out swinging

2015 Citroen C4 Picasso review
Citroen’s new C4 Picasso offers the cool styling of its big brother Grand Picasso in a smaller, hatch-shaped package with a new and improved engine and gearbox, but the $40,990 price tag might be too much for it to carry

2015 Alfa Romeo 4C review
Alfa Romeo delivers on its promises with the 4C. With drive going to the right pair of wheels, a carbon tub and a mid-rear-mounted engine bunkered low, this ought to be a modern classic

We drive a car with raw appeal, and put it where it really shines – on a race circuit
