REVIEWS

First drive: Infiniti Q50s hybrid
The Infiniti Q50 S proves that a hybrid-driven future doesn’t have to be horrible.

2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder review
The open and shut case for Lamborghini ownership.

This week’s Wheels – Ford Fiesta LX
Prized progeny of the blue oval proves good drives can come in small packages.

LAUNCHED: Kia Cerato Koup
Good looks and, umm, looks good.

Right Hook Chevrolet Camaro Review
Holden won’t import the thunderous Chevy Camaro (yet), but in this exclusive first Aussie drive courtesy of Queensland-based Performax, we’re able to unleash the wild horses of a bona-fide Pony Car

Suzuki Kizashi AWD
All-wheel drive signals tilt at Subaru

Review: 2013 Honda Civic DTi-S Diesel Hatch
Journalists, by nature, are cynics. So when Honda Australia declared its first ever diesel, fitted exclusively to the Civic hatch, is as refined and as quiet as its petrol offerings, I sniggered into my morning coffee.

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: Subaru WRX STI
One of rally’s original turbo ’toon cars grows up

2009 Skoda Fabia review
Polo sibling to bring Czech values to supermini market.

Fiesta’s worth easy to gauge
Priorities in the Blue Oval’s new world car – safety, performance, fuel efficiency and road holding. How come the gauge needles don’t rate?

LAUNCHED: Mazda 3 MPS
Second-gen hot hatch tames the torque, but still walks the walk.

Ferrari 458 Italia
Peter Robinson’s long history with Ferrari was ignited by a late-’60s love affair with a Dino 246. Since then he’s driven virtually every subsequent model from Maranello, making him hard to oust as the man to thrash the brilliant, blinding 458 Italia

Citroen DS3
Wannabe Goddess good but no deity

Review: Mazda CX-5 2.5 AWD
Among 2012’s more eventful moments were Lance Armstrong’s performance-enhanced fall and the meteoric rise of Mazda’s CX-5.

Review: HSV Range
The company that claims to make Holden vehicles special has lived up to its promise with the introduction of its latest Gen-F line-up.

First drive: Porsche 911 Turbo S
An outward display of raw fear is not an attractive quality in a man, so it’s a good thing I wear a strong poker-face.

First drive: W205 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
BMW and Audi need to up their game enormously if the 3 Series and A4 are going to out-class the new C-Class

2009 Nissan GT-R review
Godzilla returns to Australia, and it’s fully sick.

LAUNCHED: Lexus IS 250 Convertible
Heavy metal strikes a serene chord.

2010 BMW X1 Review
The niche-filling continues as Munich milks the X factor

Driven: Audi A8 4.2 TDI
EIGHT-hundred Newton-Metres. It takes a lot longer to say it than to feel its full-bore rush when you stomp on the turbo-diesel version of Audi’s A8 limo

Volvo S60 Polestar Limited Edition
Here, at last, is a truly fast Volvo that isn’t rubbish.
