2009 Mini Cabrio review
Like its pricey stablemate, the BMW M3 Convertible, the latest Mini Cooper S drop-top can put a smile on your dial while you get a 200km/h tan.
LAUNCHED: Volkswagen Polo
New-gen small car ponies up tiny turbo tech.
LAUNCHED: Audi A5 Cabriolet
The Audi A5 Cabriolet performs exactly as you’d expect: it’s extremely refined top up or down.
Kia Sportage
May be misnamed, but won’t be misplaced in suburbia
Driven: Mini Paceman
We’ve all felt it. That ball-clenching, stomach-churning moment of turning into a corner too fast, of feeling the tyres slip, the horror of knowing you’re about to crash.
Review: Volkswagen Golf GTI
Can Volkswagen do no wrong?
Driven! Holden’s new VF Commodore
Does it matter how good the new VF Commodore is to drive?
First Aussie drive: Jaguar F-Type
Associate editor Westerman’s worried. He’s driven Jaguar’s F-Type through Spain’s mountainous north, and in the July 2103 issue, given it bigger raps than Jay-Z and Tupac. But has he got it right? Does European brilliance translate to Aussie awesomeness?

At first acquaintance, the Peugeot 308 CC seems to have the goods.
Mercedes S63 AMG
Downsized donk still knows thunder road
Review: Holden Cruze Sportswagon

Review: Renault Zoe
The future really is another country, one from which I’ve just returned.
Review: Audi S8
The people have spoken. Audi Australia has bowed to demand and given the S8 a ticket to Australia in the first quarter of 2014.
First drive: Australia’s most powerful car
Say hello to the most powerful production car ever built in Australia.
First drive: Maserati Quattroporte
Twin-turbo Italian beauty gets more room and a stronger, lighter body to take the fight to Porsche and Aston Martin.
First drive: Audi A8
Facelifted Audi A8 brings improvements and performance, at a price
2009 Porsche Boxster and Porsche Cayman review
Not just a pretty facelift.
